I've probably just upset Cardboard Junkie again
I seem to have this habit of periodically annoying dayf at Cardboard Junkie. I don't mean to do it, but before you know it, I've said something, and there, I've done it. He starts insulting one of my favorite sets, and I say one of his favorite sets can burn for all eternity, and it's ... well, it's weird.
Because except for the Braves, and the ponies, and the fact that I swear sometimes his blog is in a foreign language, I am quite interested in what he puts out there. I don't want to set him off, what if he leaves forever for Twitter? That would be terrible.
But then I go and do something, like, well, like this ...
A little while I go, I landed some Yankee cards that could only be found as a special promotion that went along with a new book release. I thought those four cards might be able to get me something nice that I wanted, and I told people to make me an offer.
I got two offers.
Apparently, Yankees collectors aren't as rabid as I've read. Either that or I've scared them all away from my blog because of few disparaging words I might have made about their favorite team.
But two offers are better than none, and both people offered some cards that I really wanted, so that's good.
But, let me keep you in suspense about that for a moment.
Fast forward to the post in which I was trying to determine the biggest bust and improvement among Donruss sets. Wow, that unleashed a lot of pent-up energy. Donruss totally isn't worth it, but I guess some people take their cardboard seriously.
In the feedback, someone ragged on my favorite Donruss set -- 1984 -- and I fired back. And then dayf started calling '84 the most overrated set since '52 Topps. Not one to back down about affairs of complete inanity, I lashed back by saying 1953 Topps -- a set everyone loves except me -- is overrated.
He didn't like that.
But it's a true feeling. I'm not a big fan of painted sets -- unlike many of my blogger cohorts. I love the '56 Topps set, and after that, you can have all the painted sets. Diamond Kings and all that stuff, take it all away. 1953 Topps is very well-done, it's just not my mug of beer.
OK, now back to the offers.
One of the offers came from dayf, which surprised me. He's not a Yankee fan.
But he offered some good cards.
The other offer came from A.J. at The Lost Collector.
He's a Yankee fan. And I decided to go with his offer.
Here is the main card that swayed my decision:
I'm a terrible, terrible, terrible night owl. How could I do such a thing? Claim to dislike '53 Topps and then go and accept one offer over another because of a '53 Topps card? What's wrong with me? I should just take my cards and go home because obviously I can't play well with others.
But there is a really good reason why I took A.J.'s offer and not dayf's.
While both featured cards I wanted, A.J.'s card was the opportunity to get something that doesn't come my way very often. 1953 Topps aren't easily found, or as easily found as more modern stuff. Anytime I can cross something off from the '50s -- even something in which all the creases make Preacher Roe look like he's 279 years old -- I take it.
The other reason is A.J. loves the Yankees. It's weird and bizarre, but if I'm going to get rid of Yankees cards, it makes sense to send them to a Yankee fan.
So that's why I did what I did.
It really wasn't done to get dayf riled up, even though it looks that way.
I know this probably means he'll show 50 Brooklyn Dodgers cards that I don't have on the blog sometime soon.
What are you going to do?
By the way, A.J. also sent these cards, among others:
He also sent this card:
A San Diego Padre?
Apparently I've upset A.J. about something, too.


Nova Scotia will miss out on dozens of cruises due to COVID-19
It would mean a loss of around 107,000 tourists if ships were at capacity
Nova Scotia will miss out on around 107,000 potential tourists from cruise ships because of COVID-19 restrictions.
On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced cruise-ship season would be suspended until July. It means ships carrying more than 500 people cannot stop in Canada until July 1.
The Halifax Port Authority said the restriction affects around 40 vessels and an estimated 75,000 cruise guests.
"We've been following direction from the Public Health Agency of Canada and Transport Canada throughout this situation and today is no different as well," Lane Farguson, a spokesperson for the port authority told CBC News.
"This is done with the well-being and safety of all Canadians in mind and certainly we support that direction."
In Sydney, it represents 22 cruise ships and more than 32,000 passengers if the ships were full.
In an email, the Port of Sydney announced it supported the federal government's move, but also acknowledged the economic toll.
"This decision increases community safety but does have an economic impact for the many individuals and businesses who rely on tourism," Marlene Usher, CEO of the Port of Sydney, wrote in the email.
Paul Carrigan, general manager for the Port of Sydney, said it's unclear whether staff layoffs will be necessary because of the delay in ship calls.
"We have to look at those numbers and see what comes out of it, but that's something that we will be dealing with Monday morning," he said.
Carrigan said port officials have talked with dock workers and the rest of the staff and they are aware of the cruise ship cancellations.
'Better now than later'
Michelle Wilson, executive director of the Sydney Downtown Development Association, said she wasn't surprised by the news.
"The thought from one merchant I spoke to was more, 'Better now than later,'" Wilson said.
For both Sydney and Halifax, the busiest time of year for cruise ships is September and October.
Wilson said some businesses may have to make adjustments in their marketing until the ships come.
"Nobody is panicking right yet, so hopefully it stays that way and as this passes things will get back to normal."
Farguson said the Halifax Port Authority will be ready to receive ships when restrictions are lifted. He said about 70 per cent of cruise visits happen in the back half of the season.
"We'll do everything we can to make sure we're ready for that when it happens," Farguson said.
"And that we can work with our tourism providers here on the ground to make sure that those folks are getting the best experience that they can have when they visit the Port of Halifax and Nova Scotia."
Transportation Minister Marc Garneau said on Friday the federal government would re-examine the situation at the end of June.
Garneau said the restrictions also apply to ferries carrying more than 500 people.
"We will be putting in place a series of additional health measures to ensure those that will be on smaller ships and these ferries that precautions that need to be taken for their health will be taken," Garneau said.
Marine Atlantic has crossings between Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia.
Spokesperson Darrell Mercer said passengers will be asked if they had recently travelled to an affected country, if they've been in contact with an infected person or if they're showing symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
Bay Ferries, which operates the service between Nova Scotia and Maine, declined to answer questions about measures it will take once the the crossings begin at the end of June.
Mercer said if they say yes to any of those questions, they will be directed to an area of the ferry terminal for additional screening.
Symptoms of COVID-19 are very similar to the seasonal flu and common cold and include a fever, cough and difficulty breathing.

Honeysuckle is a progressive folk act that blends older influences and traditional instrumentation with modern effects and inspiration.
Comprised of Holly McGarry, Benjamin Burns, and Chris Bloniarz, this Boston based band can frequently be found performing across the country, playing alongside bands like The Ballroom Thieves, The David Grisman Sextet, Boy & Bear, Sam Moss, The Western Den, The Novel Ideas, Shook Twins, John Craigie, Damn Tall Buildings and others.
Honeysuckle recently released their sophomore album, "Catacombs." They also have two previous titles: "Honeysuckle" (full length 2016) and "Arrows" (EP 2015).


Trinidad James is starting the year off right. After struggling through much of 2014 with label woes, the Atlanta-based rapper recently released The Wake Up, a new five-track EP, and announced a forthcoming album.
Featuring collaborations with Friend, Problem, 31, Trinidadians Neval and Denice Millien, The Wake Up can be streamed via SoundCloud. It strays considerably from the “All Gold Everything” sound that made James famous.
The new sound may have led to his schism with Def Jam. Last year he told MTV News, “I feel like we just had a difference of creative ideas. And for me personally, I know that I am somewhat of a person that’s just gonna do it their own way.”
His new free album, No One is Safe, will arrive Jan. 20. A follow-up to 2012’s Don’t Be S.A.F.E., it will feature collaborations with iLoveMakonnen, OG Maco, Offset, Peewee Longway, Scotty ATL, Big KRIT, Problem, Migos’ Offset and Lil Debby. It’ll also feature the Diplo-produced single “BlackMan Pt. 2.”
“I’m a huge fan of Diplo’s production and spirit as an artist. I heard the beat on SoundCloud and it inspired me to get focused on what type of message I really wanted to relay this year with my music and as an artist—and also as a man in this world, which is the most important part of being in this game,” James told The Fader.
“Don’t compromise your manhood for a check,” he added. “Keep it real and deal with the cards that you’re dealt.”

A motorcyclist died in a three-vehicle crash on the old Island Highway in Nanaimo.
First responders were called to the old Island Highway and Norwell Drive on Friday at 12:15 p.m.
The drivers of the two other vehicles involved were taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries, according to a Nanaimo RCMP press release.
Northbound lanes are closed and police are asking motorists to avoid northbound travel around that location if possible, noting via social media that the lanes will be closed for some time. Drive B.C. notes that an assessment is in progress and the road is closed with a detour via 107th Street to Norwell Drive.
“The coroner has been advised and at this point it’s undetermined what caused the accident,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “The investigation will involve witness statements, the traffic analysts’ report and, of course, in consultation with the coroners service throughout the investigation.”
O’Brien said the notification of the man’s death to next of kin would be done Friday.
The B.C. Coroners Service did not immediately have any further information.

During an outbreak of infectious disease, it is crucial that everyone can access healthcare services to help stop it spreading. Public health responses can’t discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, economic status or immigration status. This is why the World Health Organization has stressed the importance of ensuring health services are open to all migrants and refugees during the pandemic.
Yet the NHS regulations that restrict free access to services for certain types of migrants and asylum seekers in the UK are still in place, and NHS hospitals are obliged to carry out immigration status and paperwork checks on all patients – including in A&E departments.
As an emergency medicine consultant with a special interest in public health, I find this deeply concerning. A study on the impact of Covid-19 on excluded people in England found that the regulations prevent people with insecure immigration status, including those seeking asylum, from getting medical care when they need it.
The Windrush scandal showed that people fully entitled to free NHS care also struggle to access treatment because of the charging regulations. Cancer patient Albert Thompson was denied treatment for months because he lacked paperwork proving his entitlement to NHS services. And there are already signs that migrants who are too afraid to go to NHS hospitals because of healthcare charges are dying from Covid-19.
Although A&E services are exempt from all NHS charges, staff are still required to carry out immigration status checks. This is a potentially risky policy to maintain during an infectious disease pandemic. Emergency services – A&E and walk-in services – are the first and only contact that some asylum seekers and migrants have with the health system.
Doctors of the World UK, an NGO that provides medical care, information and practical support to those unable to access NHS services, has seen cases where patients in need of emergency care left before triage or seeing a clinician after they were questioned about their immigration status and asked to provide information and paperwork they did not have – leaving the emergency department before triage or seeing a clinician. The NGO estimated that 90% of the patients it saw in 2017 were not registered with a GP.
Last week Doctors of the World UK, Lancet Migration and the Faculty of Public Health launched a campaign calling for the immediate suspension of the NHS charging regulations, an investigation into the impact of charging on both patient and public health, and improved access to all NHS services. Although treatment for Covid-19 has been removed from the regulations, this exemption does not cover pre-existing conditions and therefore will have limited impact on those patients who are most likely to need inpatient care if they do contract Covid-19.
It’s also an exemption that means little on the floor of the A&E department. Patients present with a symptom and not a disease, and the diagnosis of Covid-19 may not be made until 24 hours after the patient has presented to hospital, during which time the clinician is unable to make an assessment of whether the patient is eligible for free NHS care. This fear of being charged will continue to deter patients from seeking emergency care.
The increasing evidence that people of BAME backgrounds are disproportionately affected by Covid-19 makes the need to suspend the charging regulations all the more urgent. There has been a concerning fall in emergency department attendances across all demographics and geographical regions – and this will certainly include vulnerable migrant populations. We can’t risk BAME people facing administrative barriers when they turn up at A&E, or being put off seeking care altogether because they don’t have the right paperwork to hand.
The effect is not only on vulnerable patients. According to a survey of British Medical Association members, the charging regulations increase the workload of clinical staff and take time away from patient care. A&E departments are on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of emergency care staff to gather information and paperwork about a patient’s immigration status is not just inappropriate, it’s a diversion of much-needed resources.
My own research has shown that dealing with these legal and ethical concerns places an unnecessary burden on emergency care clinicians. Health professionals should not be subject to the ethical dilemma of deciding whether to admit a patient because of concerns about who will pay for their care.
The only way to properly protect patients and the nation’s health is to suspend all NHS charges and remove the risk of financial or legal repercussions. Only then will all patients feel safe and able to seek the care they need.

Give yourself The Gift of Self-Love, a workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.
Love, including self-love, is both a noun and a verb. In order to have self-love, we must continuously practice it through our actions. To celebrate our 100th episode anniversary of the Mary’s Cup of Tea Podcast, we compiled a list of ways to express self-love. These tips include acts of self-love that touch on all of the 5 love languages (words, time, touch, service, and gifts). I promise that these won’t be cheesy things like bubble baths and face masks because self-love goes much, much deeper than that.
I invite you to take note of the ones that call to you and find some time to practice them today. The ways you express self-love should feel simple, doable, and authentic to you. Practicing one small act of self-love every day will add up to create a big difference in how you see, think, and feel about yourself. Let’s get into 100 ways to express self-love…
Which of these ways to express self-love really resonated with you? I invite you to choose a few that you’d like to start doing every day and well, do them!
I hope you enjoyed these 100 ways to express self-love. If you practice at least some of these simple habits, I promise that they will help you love yourself. And remember that whether you do these acts of self-love or not, you are enough. It’s just a matter of believing it.
Thank you so much for your support on the Mary’s Cup of Tea Podcast and for helping us celebrate our 100th episode. This self-love podcast would not be where it is without our self-lovers.

En español | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its guidance on the use of cloth face masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus, now saying that beyond protecting others the practice can help safeguard the wearer from infection.
Since April, the federal health agency has encouraged all Americans — even people who feel healthy — to wear valveless, multilayered cloth masks when out in public to help slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness. The masks can limit respiratory droplets released when a person sneezes, coughs, sings, talks or breathes from dispersing into the air, which is the predominant way the virus is spread, according to the CDC.
Face masks also provide “personal protection” to wearers, acting as a filter to reduce respiratory droplets from being inhaled, according to the latest CDC guidance. The federal health agency made the determination based on recent research. It also comes as the U.S. surpassed 10 million confirmed infections, with daily cases on the rise in 49 states — soaring well beyond 120,000 per day.
On Nov. 8, Utah became the 34th state to require people to wear face coverings in public to curb the spread of COVID-19. In general, the state orders require masks in restaurants and stores, on public transit, in taxis and ride-hailing services, and outdoors when it is difficult to maintain 6 feet of distance from others.
The CDC stresses that it is important for people who feel healthy to follow the mask-wearing advice because more than half of transmissions are estimated to occur from individuals with COVID-19 who do not have symptoms, according to the CDC.
Masks save money as well as lives
The American Medical Association (AMA) on Wednesday reasserted its calls for the public to do its part to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
"We implore everyone to follow these three simple science- and evidence-based steps to help stop the spread of COVID-19: Wash your hands, practice physical distancing and wear a mask,” AMA President Susan R. Bailey, M.D., said in a statement. “Cases are at record highs across the country, and with the holidays quickly approaching, each of us must do everything possible to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Failing to do our part will prolong the suffering and disruption to our lives, and inevitably lead to more deaths of our friends, neighbors and loved ones."
Join today and get instant access to discounts, programs, services, and the information you need to benefit every area of your life.
Beyond saving lives, the CDC guidance suggests mask wearing may also be good for the economy, saying that if mask use is adopted by an additional 15 percent of Americans it could “prevent the need for lockdowns and reduce associated losses of up to $1 trillion, or about 5 percent of gross domestic product."
Mounting evidence of masks’ effectiveness
The CDC's revised guidance suggesting face masks offer protection to the wearer is based on the latest research into how the coronavirus is spread. In particular, it pointed to a study involving more than 1,000 people in Thailand who were interviewed as part of contract tracing investigations. Those who always wore masks were substantially less likely to have been infected than those who never wore masks, the CDC said.
Another investigation showed that a universal mask policy at a hair salon in Springfield, Missouri, protected clients of two stylists who were ill with COVID-19. Over an eight-day period, the stylists interacted with 139 clients an average of 15 minutes each. All of the clients and staff wore masks. Among 67 clients who agreed to an interview and testing, none was infected.
Researchers have also found that multilayered, cotton fabric face masks are effective filters of respiratory droplets.
"Upwards of 80 percent blockage has been achieved in human experiments that have measured blocking of all respiratory droplets, with cloth masks in some studies performing on par with surgical masks as barriers for source control,” the CDC guidance says.
Studies have shown that multiple layers of cotton fabric with higher thread counts (rather than single layers of cloth) filter nearly half of fine particles. Polypropylene can enhance the filtration effect by creating a static electric charge. And silk may help repel moist droplets to reduce fabric wetting and maintain breathability, according to the CDC.

Taking dairy out of your diet also means taking dairy calcium out of the diet, which can be a problem if not adequately replaced.
Removing dairy also removes some vitamin D, which is a double whammy as vitamin D is important for boosting your calcium absorption from the gut. They tend to wok together.
How much calcium do I need?
The table below will help you work out how much calcium you need based on your age and stage in life.
CALCIUM NEED (mg)
SERVES OF CALCIUM
Pregnancy or breast feeding: 18 years or under
Pregnancy or breast feeding > 18 years
2 1/2 serves
Women: 19 - 50 years
2 1/2 serves
Women > 50 years
Men 19-70 years
2 1/2 serves
Men > 70 years
It is easy to get the calcium we need when we have dairy in our diets as dairy food is rich in calcium, easily absorbable, and so an easy eat in amounts that contain ample calcium.
For example, a serve of dairy (250 - 300mg calcium) = 1 cup of milk (250mls) or 40g cheese or a little tub of yoghurt (200ml or grams).
Other non dairy foods that contain calcium
The easiest way to replace the dairy calcium is to make sure you choose a plant milk that contains the same amount of calcium as a cup of cow's milk.
Look for 200-250mg of calcium per cup of milk or 100-120mg of calcium per 100ml of milk. The nutritional panel on the product will give you this information.
Plant milks are not very nutritional, so they won't provide all the other nutrition you get from dairy milk, including vitamin D, but 2 cups per day of calcium fortified plant milks: such as oat milk or almond milk will give you 600mg of calcium- same as taking a supplement.
Just take care, as many alternative plant milks may not be enriched with calcium. In Australia, this is true of most oat milks used in cafes.
Soy milk: a special mention
Soy milk is the only plant milk that is actually nutritional- soy milk is usually fortified with calcium, but additionally naturally provides all the protein, fat and vitamins and minerals you find in cow's milk. It is easily the best dairy milk substiutue- if soy is tolerated.
Often, soy milk may not be tolerated when dairy milk is an issue- especially for babies. Adults may show more tolerance when dairy protein is an issue.
Non dairy foods high in calcium
The most absorbable calcium found in non dairy foods are when we eat fish including bones such as tinned salmon. Tinned tuna does not have bones so the natural calcium content is low, however there are some types of tuna where calcium has been added.
Check the table below.
SARDINES: canned + bones: 90g small tin
PINK SALMON: canned + bones: 90g small tin
TUNA- tinned: 100g small tin
Tinned tuna: calcium enriched: 78g tin
Background calcium foods
Most non dairy foods contain calcium that looks impressive on paper, but is much less absorbable than calcium from dairy and fish bones.
These are foods such as spinach, figs, sesame seeds or tahini and almonds. The amounts needed to make up a full serve are too high for normal consumption, however, they provide important back ground calcium that all adds up.
Check out the following table that shows the amount of calcium these foods provide for when normally eaten and how much would be needed to equal a serve of dairy food.
SPINACH (cooked): 1/2 cup
SPINACH: 150g (4 cups raw)
FIGS: 1 (30g)
FIGS: 4 (120g)
TAHINI: 1 TBSP (20g)
TAHINI: 75g (4 TBSP)
ALMONDS: 10 (12g)
ALMONDS: 80 (100g)
Include these foods to help enrich your daily calcium intake but doubt rely on them alone.
Other foods also provide back ground calcium- foods we don't think of. Check out the table below.
Broccoli: 2 florets
If you can't eat enough calcium daily to meet your needs, you may need to think about a calcium supplement. Splittingt up a supplement over the day can help maximise absorption. It is especially useful to split up calcium so you are having less than 500mg in a single dose.
Take calcium separately from iron or iron rich meals (iron rich foods include red meat, chicken, fish and shellfish) as iron and calcium compete. For example, take calcium at breakfast rather than at dinner when you may be eating iron rich foods.
Calcium supplements come in different forms: the general calcium supplements are in a calcium carbonate form.
You can use other calcium supplements, just be aware of how much calcium is available for the body.
For example, calcium carbonate (caltrate) has 40% elemental calcium while calcium citrate has ½ this (24%) elemental calcium so dosage would have to be higher.
Don't forget vitamin D- a low vitamin D or a vitamin D deficiency, means any extra calcium you take to supplement your diet may not be well absorbed. There are plenty of supplements around that provide both calcium and vitamin D together for that very reason.
Keep your bones healthy and strong: make sure you have enough replacement calcium (plus vitamin D supplements if you are vitamin D deficient) if avoiding dairy in your diet, or having inadequate dairy intake.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Crude futures prices fell in after-hours trading Tuesday, after a key report confirmed that U.S. gasoline inventories dropped for a fifth straight week, but revealed that crude supplies climbed significantly for a third week in a row.
After the market closed Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute posted a 8.9 million-barrel rise in U.S. crude inventories as of the week ended March 23. Analysts, on average, predicted a 1 million- to 1.4 million-barrel drop, according to a Bridge News survey.
Gasoline stocks dropped by 1.6 million barrels, the API said, higher than forecasts for a decline between 1 million and 1.4 million barrels.
"Crude is coming but the products keep going down," Phil Flynn, a senior energy analyst at Chicago-based brokerage Alaron.com said, noting that the market will likely be more concerned by the data on gasoline ahead of the summer driving season.
In after-hours trading shortly after the data were released, May crude fell 20 cents to $27.55 a barrel. April unleaded gasoline rose 0.15 cent to 94.10 cents a gallon and April heating oil eased 0.44 cent to 77.50 cents a gallon.
The API's measure of distillate supplies, which include heating oil, fell 447,000 barrels, compared to expectations for a decline of 1.3 million to 1.7 million barrels.
Ahead of the news Tuesday, crude for May delivery added 27 cents to close at $27.75 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. April unleaded gasoline rose by 0.61 cent to 93.95 cents a gallon, while April heating oil gained 1.84 cents to 77.94 cents a gallon. See related story.
Colder temperatures in the Midwest and Northeast continued to lend support to April natural gas, which gained 29.9 cents to $5.621 per million British thermal units.
Gold closes slightly lower
Gold closed slightly lower Tuesday and silver prices ended higher, as inventories of the precious metals fell on the Commodities Exchange.
Gold for April delivery shed $1 to close at $261.10. May silver rose to $4.435 an ounce, up 5.5 cents.
Comex gold inventories were down 31,551 ounces on Monday to stand at 1,393,706 ounces. Silver stocks slipped 642,297 ounces to 96,498,576 ounces. See full story.
The CRB/Bridge Index, a broad-based measure of commodity futures markets, rose 0.5 percent to 217.57.
May pork bellies climbed by 1.625 cents to close at 95.20 cents a pound. April lean hogs added 1.675 cents to 66.525 cents a pound. April live cattle tacked on 1 cent to 78.325 cents a pound. April feeder cattle rose 0.650 cent to 87.25 cents a pound.
May coffee fell 0.8 cent to close at 61.05 cents a pound. May cocoa shed $25 to $1,038 per metric ton. May sugar rose 0.04 cent to 8.50 cents a pound. May cotton eased 1.44 cents to 47.59 a pound. May frozen orange juice rose 1.05 cents to 76.95 cents a pound. May corn rose 1 1/4 cents to 211 cents a bushel. May soybeans gained 3 1/4 cents to 445 1/4 cents a bushel. May wheat ended flat at 267 cents a bushel.

ALEO is a painter and muralist based in Denver. He likes to paint his large scale murals freehand, using spray paint instead of brushes. Since 2013 ALEO’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions throughout Colorado, California, Washington, and New Mexico. Keep an eye out for his upcoming shows at Threyda and Mirus this summer.
“I enjoy creating visual diagrams with abstract forms,” says Aleo. “By mixing training with intuition, I can create that which could not exist along with that which appears to be from this world. Painting is the ebb and flow of form. Pushing the darks farther back and pulling the lights forward, while always refining. Painting is both chaotic and extremely precise, it all depends on where the painting is in progress. Color, technique, and experimentation are what I love about the painting process.”

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) (Filipino: Kawanihan ng Pilipinas Laban sa Droga) is the lead anti-drugs law enforcement agency, responsible for preventing, investigating and combating any dangerous drugs, controlled precursors and essential chemicals within the Philippines. The agency is tasked with the enforcement of the penal and regulatory provisions of Republic Act No. 9165 (R.A. 9165), otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. PDEA is the implementing arm of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB). The DDB is the policy-making and strategy-formulating body in the planning and formulation of policies and programs on drug prevention and control. PDEA and DDB are both under the supervision of the Office of the President.
History and mandate
For thirty years, the Republic Act No. 6425, or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972, had been the backbone of the drug law enforcement system in the Philippines. Despite the efforts of various law enforcement agencies mandated to implement the law, the drug problem alarmingly escalated. The high profitability of the illegal drug trade, compounded by the then existing laws that imposed relatively light penalties to offenders, greatly contributed to the gravity of the problem. Recognizing the need to further strengthen existing laws governing Philippine drug law enforcement system, the then Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed the Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, on June 7, 2002 and it took effect on July 4, 2002. The R.A. 9165 defines more concrete courses of action for the national anti-drug campaign and imposes heavier penalties to offenders. The enactment of R.A. 9165 reorganized the Philippine drug law enforcement system.
While the Dangerous Drugs Board remains as the policy-making and strategy-formulating body in planning and formulation of policies and program on drug control and prevention, it created the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency under the Office of the President. The new law abolished the National Drug Law Enforcement and Prevention Coordinating Center, which was created under Executive Order No. 61; and the Narcotics Group ofPhilippine National Police (PNP-NG), Narcotics Division of National Bureau of Investigation (NBI-ND), and the Customs Narcotics Interdiction Unit of the Bureau of Customs (BOC-CNIU). However, these law enforcement agencies have organized the following anti-illegal drugs task force to support the PDEA: Philippine National Police – Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operation Task Force (PNP-AIDSOTF); National Bureau of Investigation – Anti-Illegal Drugs Task Force (NBI-AIDTF); and Bureau of Customs – Customs Task Group/Force in Dangerous Drugs and Controlled Chemicals (BOC-CTGFDDCC).
Vision, Mission and Values
Vision: To be a professional, effective and well-respected agency working for a drug-free Philippines. Mission: To be the lead agency in the enforcement of the anti-drug law; to serve as the principal implementing arm of the DDB; to exercise operational supervision over drug enforcement units of other law enforcement agencies; and to coordinate the participation of other sectors in the national anti-drug campaign. Core Values:
* Respect for Human Dignity
* Excellence and Competence
The Parole and Probation Administration
The Parole and Probation Administration (Filipino: Pangasiwaan ng Parol at Probasyon), abbreviated as PPA, is an agency of the Philippine government under theDepartment of Justice responsible for providing a less costly alternative to imprisonment of first-time offenders who are likely to respond to individualized community-based treatment programs. History
Probation was first introduced in the Philippines during the American colonial period (1898–1945) with the enactment of Act No. 4221 of the Philippine Legislature on August 7, 1935. This law created a Probation Office under the Department of Justice. On November 16, 1937, after barely two years of existence, the Supreme Court of the Philippines declared the Probation Law unconstitutional because of some defects in the law’s procedural framework. In 1972, House Bill No. 393 was filed in Congress, which would establish a probation system in the Philippines. This bill avoided the objectionable features of Act 4221 that struck down the 1935 law as unconstitutional. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives, but was pending in the Senate when Martial Law was declared and Congress was abolished. In 1975, the National Police Commission Interdisciplinary drafted a Probation Law. After 18 technical hearings over a period of six months, the draft decree was presented to a selected group of 369 jurists, penologists, civic leaders and social and behavioral scientists and practitioners.
The group overwhelmingly endorsed the establishment of an Adult Probation System in the country. On July 24, 1976, Presidential Decree No. 968, also known as Adult Probation Law of 1976, was signed into Law by the President of the Philippines. The startup of the probation system in 1976-1977 was a massive undertaking during which all judges and prosecutors nationwide were trained in probation methods and procedures; administrative and procedural manuals were developed; probation officers recruited and trained, and the central agency and probation field offices organized throughout the country. Fifteen selected probation officers were sent to United States for orientation and training in probation administration. Upon their return, they were assigned to train the newly recruited probation officers. The probation system started to operate on January 3, 1978. As more probation officers were recruited and trained, more field offices were opened. There are at present 204 field offices spread all over the country, supervised by 15 regional offices. Mission
To rehabilitate probationers, parolees and pardonees and promote their development as integral persons by utilizing innovative interventions and techniques which respect the dignity of man and recognize his divine destiny. Mandate
The Parole and Probation Administration is mandated to conserve and/or redeem convicted offenders and prisoners who are under the probation or parole system. Goals
The Administration’s programs sets to achieve the following goals: Promote the reformation of criminal offenders and reduce the incidence of recedivism, and Provide a cheaper alternative to the institutional confinement of first-time offenders who are likely to respond to individualized, community-based treatment programs. Functions
To carry out these goals, the Agency through its network of regional and field parole and probation offices performs the following functions: to administer the parole and probation system
to exercise supervision over parolees, pardonees and probationers to promote the correction and rehabilitation of criminal offenders. Serenity at the Quarry

It is a non-profit facility that provides eight-month treatment programs for free and is run by ex-addicts. The treatment consists of work therapy and spiritual therapy. The spiritual therapy is Christian-based as the center is funded by churches in Singapore. The Philippines Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
The Philippines Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Kagalingang Panlipunan at Pagpapaunlad) is the executive department of the Philippine Government responsible for the protection of the social welfare rights of Filipinos and to promote social development. History
In 1915, the Public Welfare Board (PWB) was created and was tasked to study, coordinate and regulate all government and private entities engaged in social services. In 1921, the PWB was abolished and replaced by the Bureau of Public Welfare under the Department of Public Instruction. On November 1, 1939, Commonwealth Act No. 439 created the Department of Health and Public Welfare and in 1941, the Bureau of Public Welfare officially became a part of the Department of Health and Public Welfare. In addition to coordinating services of all public and private social welfare institutions, the Bureau also managed all public child-caring institutions and the provision of child welfare services. In 1947, President Manuel Roxas abolished the Bureau of Public Welfare and created the Social Welfare Commission, under the Office of the President, in its place. In 1968, Republic Act 5416, known as the Social Welfare Act of 1968, created the Department of Social Welfare, placing it under the executive branch of government. In 1976, the Department of Social Welfare was renamed Department of Social Services and Development (DSSD) through Presidential Decree No. 994.
This was signed into law by President Ferdinand E. Marcos and gave the department an accurate institutional identity. On June 2, 1978, the DSSD was renamed Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) in line with the change in the form of government. In 1987, the MSSD was reorganized and renamed Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through Executive Order 123, which was signed by President Corazon C. Aquino. Executive Order No. 292, also known as the Revised Administration Code of 1987, established the name, organizational structure and functional areas of responsibility of DSWD and further defined its statutory authority. In 1991, Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, devolved the basic services of the DSWD to local government units. Current projects include the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR), Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid Pamilya) and Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS).
The Philippine Department of Health (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Kalusugan), abbreviated as DOH, is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for ensuring access to basic public health services by all Filipinos through the provision of quality health care and the regulation of all health services and products. It is the government’s over-all technical authority on health. It has its headquarters at the San Lazaro Compound, along Rizal Avenue in Manila.The department is led by the Secretary of Health, nominated by the President of the Philippines and confirmed by the Commission on Appointments. The Secretary is a member of the Cabinet. The current Secretary of Health is Enrique Ona.
On September 29, 1898, the Americans established a military Board of Health with Dr. Frank S. Bourns as president. The purpose of this Board of Health was to care for injured American troops but as the hostilities between Filipinos and Americans waned in 1901, a civilian Board of Health was now deemed appropriate with Dr. L. M. Maus as the first health commissioner. In the early 1900s, 200,222 lives including 66,000 children were lost; three percent of the population was decimated in the worst epidemic in Philippine health history. In view of this, the Americans organized and erected several institutions, including the Bureau of Governmental Laboratories, which was built in 1901 for medical research and vaccine production. The Americans, led by Dean Worcester built the UP College of Medicine and Surgery in 1905, with Johns Hopkins University serving as a blueprint, at the time, one of the best medical schools in the world.
By 1909, nursing instruction was also begun at the Philippine Normal School. In terms of public health, the Americans improved on the sewer system and provided a safer water supply. In 1915, the Bureau of Health was reorganized and renamed into the Philippine Health Service. During the succeeding years leadership and a number of health institutions were already being given to Filipinos, in accordance with the Organic Act of 1916. On January 1, 1919, Dr. Vicente De Jesus became the first Filipino to head the Health portfolio. In 1933, after a reorganization, the Philippine Health Service reverted to being known as the Bureau of Health. It was during this time that it pursued its official journal, The Health Messenger and established Community Health and Social Centers, precursors to today’s Barangay Health Centers. By 1936, as Governor-General Frank Murphy was assuming the post of United States High Commissioner, he would remark that the Philippines led all oriental countries in terms of health status. When the Commonwealth of the Philippines was inaugurated, Dr. Jose Fabella was named chief of the Bureau of Health.
In 1936, Dr. Fabella reviewed the Bureau of Health’s organization and made an inventory of its existing facilities, which consisted of 11 community and social health centers, 38 hospitals, 215 puericulture centers, 374 sanitary divisions, 1,535 dispensaries and 72 laboratories. In the 1940s, the Bureau of Health was reorganized into the Department of Health and Public Welfare, still under Fabella. During this time, the major priorities of the agency were tuberculosis, malnutrition, malaria, leprosy, gastrointestinal disease, and the high infant mortality rate.When the Japanese occupied the Philippines, they dissolved the National Government and replaced it with the Central Administrative Organization of the Japanese Army. Health was relegated to the Department of Education, Health and Public Welfare under Commissioner Claro M. Recto. In 1947, President Manuel Roxas signed Executive Order (E.O.) No. 94 into law, calling for the creation of the Department of Health. Dr. Antonio C. Villarama as appointed Secretary. A new Bureau of Hospitals and a Bureau of Quarantine was created under DOH. Under E.O. 94, the Institute of Nutrition was created in 1948 to coordinate various nutrition activities of the different agencies.
On February 20, 1958, Executive Order 288 provided for the reorganization of the Department of Health. This entailed a partial decentralization of powers and created eight Regional Health Offices. Under this setup, the Secretary of Health passed on some of responsibilities to the regional offices and directors. One of the priorities of the Marcos administration was health maintenance. From 1975 to the mid-eighties, four specialty hospitals were built in succession. The first three institutions were spearheaded by First Lady Imelda Marcos. The Philippine Heart Center was established on February 14, 1975 with Dr. Avelino Aventura as director. Second, the Philippine Children’s Medical Center was built in 1979.
Then in 1983, the National Kidney and Transplant Institute was set up. This was soon followed by the Lung Center of the Philippines, which was constructed under the guidance of Health Minister Dr. Enrique Garcia. With a shift to a parliamentary form of government, the Department of Health was transformed into the Ministry of Health on June 2, 1978 with Dr. Clemente S. Gatmaitan as the first health minister. On April 13, 1987, the Department of Health was created from the previous Ministry of Health with Dr. Alfredo R. A. Bengzon as secretary of health. Bureaus: The DOH is composed of eight bureaus, namely:
Bureau of Health Devices and Technology
Bureau of Health Facilities and Services
Bureau of International Health Cooperation
Bureau of Local Health Development
Bureau of Quarantine and International Health Surveillance
Food and Drug Administration
Health Human Resources Development Bureau
Health Policy Development and Planning Bureau

It’s probably safe to say that your team were filled with just a little trepidation when it came to reviewing Fanny Bloom’s sophomore album “Pan,” the follow-up to 2012’s universally acclaimed “Apprentie guerrière.” Firstly, there was the small matter of the appearance with Montréal rappers Loud Lary Ajust, not to mention the album’s teaser “Piscine.”
Fanny Bloom, we are not worthy…
After just one spin it’s fairly obvious that with “Pan” Fanny Bloom has created is an irresistible pop album which can be divided into two distinct sides. Firstly there’s the dance-floor fillers; “Blanc,” with it’s deceptively simple piano solo, a few soothing bars of pan flute (which given the album’s title probably isn’t coincidence), before erupting into a glorious chorus of multi-tracked vocals, percussion and keys… The Europop infused “Danse,” resplendent with tell-tale synths and beats which leads neatly to the pop sensation of the Québec summer that was “Piscine.”
However, it’s after “Évidemment” – another upbeat number, resplendent with synths, bright brass, percussion and a plinking piano keyboard that the album has a complete change of mood.
“Sammy, Sammy” sees a welcome reappearance of the pan flute before giving way to piano and guitar as Fanny launches into a heartfelt and powerful ballad, complete with yet another seemingly effortless and immediately catchy chorus and filled with bittersweet refrains. From the few interviews I’ve read, this is an incredibly personal song (apparently named after an ex) and you can sense the emotion in the voice. Just as “Blanc” sets the pace for the first part of the album so this song sets the tone for the second part.
“Mélodie” is for the most part a simple two piece composition of voice and piano; the song’s gentle melody is incredibly relaxing (helped, it has to be said, by the hypnotic – at times child-like – quality of Fanny’s ravishing vocals). “Dead birds” and “Il faudra” (the former an unreleased La Patère Rose demo) both fit seamlessly with the structure of this album’s more tranquil and trance-like side. And while “Pan” threatens to disturb the tranquility with it’s heavily distorted guitar and pounding drums, the soothing pan flute again ensures the tranquillity isn’t disturbed. The album’s closer, “Mémo” is yet another beautifully moving two-piece – a simple piano accompaniment to the most bewitching of vocals, the sound of running water and birdsong add to the air of absolute calm… Indeed it’s this album’s slower numbers that force you to reflect upon the quality of Fanny Bloom’s song-writing and composing skills (the singing part of this holy trinity goes without saying).
However, this album’s crowning moment has to be “Drama queens” – named after the posthumously published novel by Vickie Gendreau (who tragically died of a brain tumour aged just 24), it’s a dark and deeply moving masterpiece and one which I can’t even begin to find the words that would do justice to the sheer majesty of this song.
With “Pan” Fanny has crafted an unashamed pop album that amply demonstrates that she is more than capable of turning her hand to dance-floor fillers as she can heart moving and incredible personal ballads. In the process she’s provided us with as good a contemporary pop album as will be released in English or French this or any year.
This is nailed-on for a Year-list appearance

I believe that there is no woman out there that she is not in love with this man. Due to his job on women’s most desired accessory, he is one of the most coveted men for all women shoppers. As you may have noticed, my articles are devoted to specific designers and this is not due to lack of inspiration; contrariwise it’s due to my interest and admiration. Going through the new designs from Duka’s collection, we notice lines that we have seen before, such as the women’s leg design as a heel. However, the material of the shoes and the small add-ons are different. The true fans will understand me! Without further ado, enjoy his newest creations!!
I think that for a long time now I have been praising foreign designers only, leaving the Greek designers who strive for the best, for more quality pieces at the best possible prices considering our economy, aside (unfortunately). Sissy Christidou is therefore one of the many who is trying to inspire us and impress us! Although we got to know her as a TV presenter a few years back, she never hid her love for fashion. She first started a children’s clothing line and due to its great success she also started a women’s collection which has become a fast-seller! Cool, revealing dresses, tunics in amazing designs and colors, and stars that adorn many of the accessories and clothes are enough to convince you to follow Sissy Christidou. So here is her collection for Summer 2016!
Greek women with dazzling personalities that have left their mark in history, carving a distinctive path. The new special collection of beach accessories from the brand AtoZGreek is inspired by Maria, Melina and Nana, who traveled the Greek spirit worldwide, through their exceptional talent.
Elissavet Mavrogenni is a briliant Greek bag-designer and her bags are your dreams coming true! I really love everything she designs because her ideas are simple and at the same time everything a girl wants: gorgeous bags with quality materials, a dreamy bow and all these come in a million different combinations! Now that Elissavet became a mother herself she introduced us her new design: the Lydia Diaper bag. The perfect bag for every mommy out there who wants to keep everything in place and also wants to be stylish! Just take a look at the photos and you will be impressed for sure! In case you want to enter Elissavet’s bowland just take a look at her facebook page!
Dukas is back with new and old designs in new patterns and colors with his signature-heels. His new fall/winter 2015-2016 collection consists of pumps and booties, in black, nude and lipstick red. Silky pony skin, velvety suede and net in geometrical design are the basic materials of this collection, while the zebra prints, the asymmetric cuts, and the impressive stitching make the shoes outstanding. The 2 sporty-style booties will escort Dukas’ fashionistas to their winter excursions, while adding chic points to their outfits. Take a look at the whole collection below. The collection is open to pre-order, and will be officially launched on August 28th.

I was eagerly waiting for Madame Shou Shou’s official photoshoot for Spring/Summer to show it to you, because I saw some preview photos of the new collection’s swimsuits and dresses, and I was in love with them. Their new swimsuits have sign names, such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini etc. and I’m sure you’re gonna love them as much as I did. As always the brand’s new photoshoot is dreamy, and has playfulness mixed with retro vibes and maybe a bit of melancholia too. Take a look at some of the official photos below, and make sure to check the rest here.
Konstantinos Varvitsiotis felt homesick, since he is a NY resident for the past years, so he decided to start his very own collection of handmade beach accessories, called AtoZ Greek! He wants his collection to be an ambassador of the Greek culture abroad! The items included in the collection are three, a beach bag, a small bag for all the essentials and a backpack inspired by the ones we use on the Greek islands! Next year AtoZ Greek hopefully will grow more and launch espadrilles, beach towels and t-shirts!
H-ēra Spring/Summer 2015 Beachwear Collection isn’t just another collection. It’s an amazing, uplifting and totally summer one from a Greek designer. It has unique pieces in beautiful earthly and blue-green shades. It includes classic and ethnic patterns that are going to steal your heart. Their style is mainly boho, airy and romantic. The collection includes clothes that you can wear any time of the day with small changes. Take a look below and don’t forget to check out her site for more inspirational creations.


Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs insist they’re fine despite another lackluster offensive effort.
Mahomes threw two touchdown passes, including one to returning star Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs overcame three early turnovers to beat Jacksonville 17-9 on Sunday for their third victory against the Jaguars in 10 months.
At the top of the list: 12 penalties for 94 yards in stifling heat and humidity that caused numerous issues for fans baking in the sun and players cramping on the field.
The Chiefs (1-1) won their eighth straight in the series and avoided becoming the first defending Super Bowl champions to start 0-2 since Denver in 1999.
The Jaguars (1-1), who insisted all week they owed the Chiefs because of a loss in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs in January, pretty much no-showed in their home opener.
Coach Doug Pederson’s team endured another slow start, failed to capitalize on two of three turnovers and struggled to protect Lawrence, who was 0 for 7 passing in the red zone.
The Jaguars had to settle for a field goal after having first-and-goal at the 1 to start the fourth quarter and Lawrence later threw incomplete on a fourth-and-12 play with 4:16 remaining. Kansas City didn’t let the Jaguars get the ball back.
The Jaguars certainly should have a better plan for All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones in a potential rematch.
Making his season debut after ending his holdout and signing a one-year contract, Jones dominated his one-on-one matchups. He manhandled rookie right tackle Anton Harrison and was equally effective against the rest of Jacksonville’s line. He finished with 1 1/2 sacks on five QB pressures.
With extra time to prepare following a loss to Detroit 10 days earlier in the NFL opener, the Chiefs had hoped to look a lot more like their normally dynamic selves on offense. But Richie James muffed a punt, Justin Watson fumbled and Mahomes threw an interception. Kadarius Toney, who dropped three passes in the opener, fumbled late in the third but was able to scoop up the loose ball and avoid another turnover.
Mahomes completed 29 of 41 passes for 305 yards. He found Kelce all alone in the end zone to extend KC’s lead to 14-6. CBS play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle slipped in a song reference to reports linking Kelce to pop superstar Taylor Swift by saying “Kelce finds a blank space for the score.” One of Swift’s many hits is “Blank Space.”

By Amy Price PhD
Neuroscience reports successful outcomes with specially engineered music therapy programs. Reports of music making a difference abound in science and classical literature. In Bible days musicians were sent ahead of Warriors to maintain morale and to set the climate of victory for battle. Recently there has been much emphasis given to the Mozart effect. In some studies music has been emphasized as being able to even enhance mathematical ability.
There is little doubt that music plays an important role in clinical recovery for many clients. One program I have used personally and clinically with great success is The Listening Program. We find The Listening Program improves many clients’ abilities to hear in noisy environments. Additionally we see improvements in auditory processing speed and attention.
The Listening Program has matched spectral bands with somato-sensory cortex patterns and taken out some of these frequency bands. Participants enjoy the music in a classical format. The brain then attempts to match the missing frequencies to strengthen synaptic connections in the new pattern. The program employs dichotic listening in order to restore the balance in the way sound is perceived by the ears and translated by the brain.
Impaired auditory processing skills can be seen with imaging techniques as an abnormally enlarged auditory cortex is with the neurons responding over a greater area producing increased sensitivity as a compensatory measure. Unfortunately this also produces a greater signal to noise ratio in the brain. This may translate to reduced auditory accuracy in noisy environments. The ability to filter extraneous interference and to accurately discriminate sound is compromised. This same process takes place in chronic pain patients who are slower to feel the initial sensation of pain but are found to have increased sensitivity to pain, less tolerance and this pain is spread over a wider area.
One logical way to solve this problem would be to help the brain create a new path, making it less reactive to all stimuli and more sensitive to discriminating important stimuli. The Listening Program is effective as a tool to train the brain in this way. The orderly cadence of classical music in its mathematical formation can act as a filing cabinet for the auditory cortex. The frequency filtering allows the brain to come out of an automatic mode and learn a new way of hearing. The stereophonic listening gives the brain an opportunity to generalize where and how it will process new sound.
Song is often used to awaken dormant skills in comatose or stroke patient’s, evoking auditory response and initiating corrective response. Individuals may be unable to say words but they can repeat them when they are sung to them by a participating therapist. After singing, they then say the same words that were impossible for them just moments before. It may be that when people cycle between speaking and singing the contour and spacing of musical sounds may be decoded by additional areas in the brain which can then act as a conduit to the language centres of the brain. This may be because language uses motor, auditory and visual skills.
Singing may engage other brain areas and then cue brain neurons to act as a construction crew to make a detour around the damaged area or to enlist nearby neurons to build a strong new path. Recently neuro imaging tools have advanced so that changes caused by this kind of learning can be demonstrated by an increase in white and gray matter cells in the brain. The Listening Program also serves as a relaxing way to restore cognitive reserve and reduce the fight or flight response created by learning anxiety.
Many brain therapy patients spend hours in occupational, speech pathology, and physical therapy every day. This concentration is required to build new paths in the brain, however in early stages of recovery the brain is vulnerable and becomes tired. The Listening Program can provide a restful interlude in the midst of these other therapies. Clients report that using The Listening Program between other therapies refreshes them and allows them to be more productive.

Wandering is what makes this possible, and the dust on my car is evidence of my back-road curiosity.
I turned off South Liberty Parkway to photograph a brilliant orange sun rising through the trees. When I was done, I continued up Campbell Drive, a Clay County two-lane, looking to turn around.
On my right, I spotted a tall, four-sided monument behind an ornate fence. It was a remote area, surrounded by trees, a dilapidated farm and pasture pocked by junk cars and trash. I stopped for photos.
It wasn’t until later that I read the monument’s engraving and learned it marked the place where Mormons settled after being expelled from Jackson County in 1833. It was just a few years before they were forced out of Clay, and later from Caldwell, Daviess and Ray counties.
The monument was reminiscent of one we might see for a prominent historical figure.
Unveiled in 2011, the monument noted that “political, economic and religious conflict led to the expulsion of approximately 1,200 Mormons from Jackson County,” many settling on and around Michael Arthur’s farm in Clay County.
Some even worked for Arthur, including John Whitmer, whose brother David was said to have witnessed Joseph Smith’s vision of the gold plates that led to the Book of Mormon.
In 1834, Smith led 200 Mormon men, women and children from Kirtland, Ohio, to Clay County. His goal was to help negotiate the return of property lost in the expulsion from Jackson County. The expedition was known as “Zion’s Camp” — a reference to the City of Zion envisioned as a Mormon holy city.
Ultimately, Smith was unsuccessful, the monument notes.
“In the end, political, social and circumstantial events prevented Zion’s Camp from realizing its primary objective” of helping those who were expelled from Jackson County return there.
And conflict between the Mormons and other settlers proliferated.
Following a pattern that shadowed the Mormons wherever they went — eventually repeating in Caldwell, Daviess and Ray counties — Smith’s followers were expelled from Clay County in 1835.
They settled in Caldwell and Daviess, setting the stage for the creation in 1838 of Far West, a community that was soon home to as many as 5,000 Mormons. Among them were Smith — who fled Ohio in January that year — and Oliver Cowdery, like Whitmer, one of three witnesses to the “Book of Mormon.”
But friction — internal as well as external — continued to shadow the sect. The conflict between early Christian settlers and the Mormons escalated to violence and what’s now referred to as the Mormon War. More a series of bloody ambushes, armed conflict included the massacre at Haun’s Mill and Battle of Crooked River, a skirmish in northern Ray County that killed a number on both sides.
Ultimately, the violence led to the jailing of Smith and other Mormon leaders in Richmond, the county seat, in November 1838.
It took place after Alexander Doniphan, a military officer and lawyer, famously refused to carry out an extermination order issued by Missouri’s governor. Though not Mormon himself, Doniphan is still revered by the church for his principled stand.
Smith and five other Mormon prisoners were later set free to leave the state after having been transferred to a jail in Liberty to await trial.
A few years ago, Logan, Utah, resident William Jensen published a historically faithful novel, “Adder in the Path,” that recounted the impact the conflict had on both Christian settlers and the Mormons who followed them.
Interest in the story continues today, as Mormons and others visit historical sites in Jackson, Clay, Caldwell, Daviess and Ray counties to trace the path of Smith’s followers. Among their destinations is a handsome monument marking Zion’s Camp, one tucked away on a back road in Clay County.
