At an auction on 20 May 1941 in Wilhelm Ettle‘s Frankfurt auction house, the Hesse State Museum Darmstadt acquired two drawings by the Frankfurt artist Jakob Fürchtegott Dielmann (1809-1885). According to the auction catalogue, the objects were submitted by a “Frl. M.”—the identity of this “Miss M.” could not to date be determined.
Who was “Frl. M.” [Miss M.]?
According to the auction catalogue, the objects were submitted by a “Frl. M.” [Miss M.]. In the National Socialist era, using abbreviations to label auction lots was part of the mechanism employed by the Reich Chamber of Culture to monitor the art market. The auction houses had to apply for authorisation for each auction, to include submitting a list of the objects up for auction with names and addresses of the vendors. The application for this particular auction has unfortunately been lost. Since the auction house itself no longer possesses any documentation, the identity of “Miss M” remains a mystery to this day.
The drawings themselves nevertheless yield information on their provenance: two stamps on their reverse sides (Lugt 1367) verify that the drawings were previously in the collection of the Frankfurt citizen Heinrich Stiebel. Stiebel’s extensive collections of art, autographs, and Frankfurt cultural artefacts were auctioned off between December 1928 and May 1930 by Joseph Baer & Co. and F. A. C. Prestel. However, the two Dielmann drawings are not listed in any of the six auction catalogues.
The two drawings are typical examples of mid-19th century art, when such humoristic coloured drawings were very popular. The two works—in particular the title page for an illustrated children’s book—were probably meant to be reproduced as colour prints.
This type of art was very popular in the National Socialist era, when it was frequently bought and sold. The auctioneer Wilhelm Ettle also benefitted from this trade, on the one hand by auctioning off such works and on the other by misappropriating the cultural assets of Frankfurt’s Jews confiscated by the authorities.
In 1929 Ettle joined the SA, and in 1932 the National Socialist Party itself. From 1938 he was special envoy of the Reich Chamber of Culture, responsible for evaluating the property of emigrants and deportees. In 1941 misappropriation proceedings were initiated against Ettle, leading in 1944 to his occupational disbarment.
Ettle is one of the few art dealers who were arraigned and convicted for their deeds after the end of the National Socialist era. In 1946 he was sentenced to seven years in prison and his wife Anni to five. His unscrupulous practices have caused the auctions conducted by him to fall under grave suspicion of having dealt in cultural assets looted by the National Socialists. In the absence of other information sources, the provenance of the two drawings still remains incomplete.


DETROIT—General Motors is recalling 2.42 million U.S. cars, trucks and SUVs in four separate safety recalls, raising its recall total for the year to more than 13.6 million vehicles.
GM said on May 20 that it expects to take a second-quarter charge of about $400 million, mostly to cover the cost of recalls announced during the period. That includes a $200 million charge from five recalls that GM announced late last week.
The latest recalls announced by GM include:
• 1.3 million Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia large crossovers from model years 2009-14, and 2009-10 Saturn Outlooks, because front seat-belt cables can wear out over time and separate, increasing injury risk in a crash. In a stop-sale notice sent to dealers on Monday, GM said an inspection and repair process for the crossovers "is currently being developed. Parts needed to complete this repair are not available at this time."
• 1.1 million Chevy Malibus from 2004-08 and Pontiac G6 sedans from 2005-08 because of a shift cable in the four-speed automatic transmission that can wear out, "resulting in mismatches of the gear position indicated by the shift lever."
It is an expansion of a recall GM announced in late April for 2007-08 Saturn Aura sedans, which share a platform with the Malibu and G6. GM said the transmission shift cable might fracture, which could prevent the driver from selecting a different gear, putting the car in park or removing the key from the ignition.
GM said it is aware of 18 crashes and one injury in crashes involving the Malibus and G6s. It previously said it knows of 28 crashes and four injuries involving the Aura models.
• 1,402 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models from 2015, which went on sale last month, because of a problem with the passenger side airbag that could result in partial deployment in a crash. GM said it has told dealers not to deliver 2015 Escalades and has notified 224 customers via overnight letters, calls and e-mails, instructing them to not let anyone ride in the passenger seat until the vehicle has been serviced. GM said it is unaware of related crashes or injuries.
• 58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD full-sized pickups from the 2015 model year for a fire risk. GM said that retention clips attaching the truck's generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and potentially lead to a fire. GM said it is unaware of related crashes or injuries.
The campaigns increase GM's count since Jan. 1 to 29 recalls covering more than 13.6 million U.S. vehicles, although those figures count some vehicles more than once because they are being called back to fix multiple potential safety defects.
Included in the total is 2.6 million Chevy Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other small cars from the mid-2000s that were built with a faulty ignition switch, which GM has linked to 13 deaths. GM is expected to conclude within a few weeks an internal investigation into its handling of the problem.
Last week, GM agreed to pay a maximum fine of $35 million and to change its internal safety processes as part of a consent decree with NHTSA.
GM has said it is implementing a more-rigorous safety approach to catch problems earlier and fix ones that have lingered for years.

The United States is preparing a new $1bn security assistance package for Ukraine, which will include munitions for long-range weapons and armoured medical transport vehicles, according to Reuters news agency.
The package would be one of the largest so far and is expected to be announced as early as Monday, three sources briefed on the matter told Reuters.
Keep readinglist of 4 items
The US has given about $8.8bn in aid to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion on February 24.
The officials, speaking to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, said that President Joe Biden had not yet signed the next weapons package, and cautioned that weapons packages can change in value and content before they are signed.
However, if signed in its current form, it would be valued at $1bn and include ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) as well as some 50 M113 armoured medical vehicles.
The Pentagon recently announced Ukrainians would be allowed to receive medical treatment at a US military hospital in Germany near Ramstein Air Base.
Last Monday, the Pentagon announced a separate security assistance package for Ukraine valued at up to $550m, which also included additional ammunition for HIMARS.
The White House declined to comment on the package.
HIMARS play a key role in the battle between Ukraine and Russia, which has settled into a war of attrition fought primarily in the east and south of Ukraine.
Moscow is trying to gain control of the largely Russian-speaking Donbas, comprised of Luhansk and Donetsk provinces, where pro-Moscow separatists seized territory after the Kremlin annexed Crimea to the south in 2014.
So far the US has sent 16 HIMARS to Ukraine and on July 1 promised to send two NASAMS.
The armoured personnel carriers outfitted with medical equipment could make the fight with Russia more survivable for Ukrainian troops who could then be sent to Germany for further medical treatment.
The Kyiv government said in June that 100 to 200 Ukrainian troops were being killed every day on the battlefield.

The latest official UK immigration figures have shown that net migration has not changed in the year to December 2013.
The data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found that net migration held steady at 212,000, the same figure recorded in the previous quarter. However, things did change in relation to EU migration, where an increase of 43,000 was recorded in the net migration figure.
Of the 201,000 EU citizens recorded as coming to the UK as long-term migrants, a total of 125,000 claimed to be moving for work-related reasons. This is a notable increase on the 95,000 who reportedly immigrated for this reason last year.
Immigration minister, James Brokenshire, commented on the data: “While recent net migration levels remain stable, the figures show that it has fallen by a third since its peak in 2005 under the last government and that this government's reforms have cut net migration from outside the EU to levels not seen since the late 1990s.”
He added that the government's efforts are focusing on cutting out abuse of the EU's free movement laws and “addressing the factors that drive European immigration to Britain”.
“The Immigration Act will limit the benefits and services illegal migrants can access and make it easier to remove those with no right to be here, by reducing the number of appeals,” concluded Mr Brokenshire.
While overall figures have remained the same, the ONS data did record some changes, such as a 31 per cent decline in the number of students moving to the UK for higher education purposes. The number of students coming from Commonwealth countries was confirmed to have fallen from 100,000 to 35,000 over the past three years, prompting some concern within the higher education sector about how the UK is perceived.

I have a confession to make: I love carbs. Bread, pasta, rice – I love it all! You will never see me turn down a basket of bread sticks or a big bowl of noodles. I believe one of the most wonderful smells in the whole world is of freshly baked bread!
Mr. C usually takes a ham sandwich for his lunch when he leaves for work and is particularly fond of Honey Wheat Bread, but the brand he likes can run around $3 a loaf at the grocery store. In my opinion, that is too much to spend on bread! So I found a fantastic and easy recipe as an alternative. It is safe to say that this bread beats store bought bread by a mile!
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 3 T honey
- 2 t yeast
- 3 T olive oil
- 1/2 T salt
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2-3 cups all purpose flour
Mix warm water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl. Allow to set until yeast activates and gets foamy. This may take 5-10 minutes. Stir in olive oil and salt. Add whole wheat flour and mix thoroughly. Begin adding all purpose flour a little at a time until you can no longer stir the dough with a spoon (or your mixer starts to struggle). Turn out the ball of dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough, gradually adding more flour, until it is soft and elastic, but not sticky. Place the dough in a bowl and cover loosely. Let set until it has doubled in size (between 30-45 minutes). Punch down dough and shape into a loaf, then place in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let double in size again (another 30-45 minutes). Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut a slit down the center of the loaf and bake for 30 minutes. Allow bread to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Here are our cast of characters! This bread recipe is ridiculously easy; I feel like I am cheating. I find it is easier to measure out the honey and the olive oil into small ramekins before adding it to the mixing bowl.
Mix the water, yeast, and honey in your bowl. I used my KitchenAid with a dough hook to mix up this beauty. Remember that yeast is alive, you want the water to be warm enough to activate the yeast but not too warm. If the water is too hot for you, it is too hot for the yeast.
Stir in the olive oil, and salt. Then mix in the whole wheat flour. Now, begin adding the all-purpose flour a little at a time. I got ahead of myself and forgot a couple of photos in between, this photo was taken after I had added about 1 cup of all-purpose flour. I also kept a rubber spatula handy to scrape down the sides of my bowl periodically.
This was after adding around 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and my mixer was beginning to struggle. If you are stirring by hand, stop when you cannot stir with a spoon anymore. My mixer began wobbling a bit so I decided this was a good time to take out the dough and begin kneading it by hand.
Place your ball of dough on a floured surface and begin kneading in more flour. I kneaded my dough for at least 15 minutes. Ouch, my hands were good and sore by the time it was finished. Oh, and make sure you wipe the flour off your camera after taking this picture. Whoops!
Place your beautiful ball of dough in a clean bowl and loosely cover, let that rest until it has doubled in size. I waited around 40 minutes. I was so excited, I kept peaking under the cover to see how it was coming along.
Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan. Cover and let double in size again. This time around I waited only 30 minutes because I had it sitting next to my warm oven.
Place in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. You want a nice golden crust. To be absolutely sure that your bread is cooked through, tip the bread out of a the pan and tap the bottom. When you tap the bottom you know your loaf is cooked through if it sounds nice and hollow. Every oven is a little different. Mine likes to surprise me sometimes!
To help my bread stay fresh longer, I allow it to cool completely and then seal it in a large ziploc bag before storing it in the refrigerator. If you find your bread is a little tough after being stored in the refrigerator, a few seconds in the microwave will soften it right up.
Do you have a favorite bread recipe? If so, share it with me! I am always looking for new and exciting recipes to try!

[UPDATE] Police arrest man who tried to disrupt EFF's Marshall Dlamini on stage
Two people have been arrested by police so far, reports EWN's Kevin Brandt.
The one man was arrested after he tried jumping onto the stage from which the EFF's leadership address their supporters.
He was first attacked by EFF supporters before he was apprehended by police.

Another man was arrested for brandishing a firearm, Brandt tells CapeTalk.
Chaos has erupted near Brackenfell High School on Friday, with police firing water cannon and stun grenades at hundreds of EFF protesters.
Police in Brackenfell moved in with force on several occasions, using rubber bullets, tear gas, and a water cannon to disperse demonstrators.
The EFF has been leading a protest against alleged racism at the school.
This scene is still very tense. There's a police nyala driving up and down. Momentarily, officers are still firing rubber bullets... trying to drive protesters further away from the school.Kevin Brandt, EWN reporter
Earlier, police earlier dispersed a group of EFF supporters who gathered a block away from the school.
Initially, the EFF had only obtained permission for 100 members to protest outside the school from 12pm onwards.
According to EWN, the number was later increased to 500 on Friday.
Earlier this week, authorities warned that protesters would be arrested if they did not protest peacefully and remain off school grounds.
At the same time, the police have asked community groups who are staging a counter-protest to please leave the area.

Under the bright light of a setting sun early Tuesday evening, Sept. 14, a crowd gathered at the Ryan Taylor Field in Woodstock to pay tribute to 13 young baseball players set to embark on a trip they’ll remember all their life. The event also provided a chance for the team to thank the community that supported them.
The U11 Woodstock Shiretowners’ hard work on the diamond delivered a New Brunswick provincial championship and the opportunity to attend the Atlantics in Grand Falls-Windsor, NL.
The generosity of the Carleton County community allowed the team to take advantage of the opportunity presented to them.
Team manager Tamara MacElwain said Tuesday’s event served as a pep rally for the team as it prepared to head off to Newfoundland and Labrador the following day.
“This will be a chance of a lifetime for these guys,” she said.
Tamara and her husband, head coach Dave MacElwain, explained the importance of saying thank you to area businesses and residents whose contributions made the trip possible.
“It’s incredible,” said Tamara. “It’s amazing how generous people have been.”
Following the ceremony and player introductions, the U11 Shiretowners unveiled a banner showcasing the names of donors who combined raised more than $30,000 to sponsor the trip to the Atlantics. Tamara said the team would carry the banner with them to unveil during the tournament.
The pep rally began with the introduction of each player, who ran the base path with individual flair to their chosen musical accompaniment.
Introduced in alphabetical order, Connor Acott set the mood with a swing of an imaginary bat. He pointed to an imaginary ball clearing the outfield fence before his trip around the bases and a dusty slide into home plate.
Each player followed, exhibiting their unique style to the loud cheers of parents, family, baseball fans and supporters.
Following Acott were Liam English, Kale Flemming, Hudson Hovey, Will Ketch, Ben MacElwain, Seth Munro, Sawyer Patterson, Archer Quinn, Elijah Tompkins, Kian Toner and Colton Watson.
Team member Austin Clark missed the pep rally, as he and his family were already on route to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Head coach Dave MacElwain took the mic to praise his team for their dedication and hard work on the diamond, although acknowledging a trip to the Atlantics was not in the plans when the season began.
“But, the kids played great at provincials,” he said.
He thanked the young players for their hard work to get to this point,
“You guys did the job to get here,” Dave said. “I want you to work hard at the Atlantics, but I want you to have fun.”
Dave also thanked his coaching team, which included his father, Dale MacElwain, and Mike Watson.
He praised Tamara and the many parents, family members and others who volunteered time throughout the season.
Dave explained taking a team to the Atlantics in Grand Falls-Windsor is an expensive undertaking, but they are making it happen thanks to the fundraising committee and community support.
“I’m overwhelmed by the fundraising committee,” he said.
He said the committee, composed of a group of players’ mothers, did a great job.
“I learned you just hand the job to the Moms and get out of the way,” Dave said.
He again praised the many individuals and business owners who stepped to the plate with cash donations.
“It’s unreal the support we have in this community,” he said.
The Woodstock U11 Shiretowners will hit the diamonds in Grand Falls-Windsor between Sept. 17 and 19 to face representatives from the other Atlantic provinces.

The demands of our technology nowadays requires an individual to be stuck facing their computers or laptops at almost 70% of their whole day. All these may not all related to work because some are just addicted to online games like best mac casinos online and similar recreational activities. Even outdoor sports have their won versions online thus making the sedentary lifestyle more appealing to a lot of people. Lucky for those people who work in a job that requires physical effort just like travel nursing jobs, fitness related occupations or working in the army or fire stations. However, there are also individuals that spend 8 hours a day in the office and face their loving computers. Furthermore, their bonding with the computer doesn’t end in the office because when they reach their houses, computer are also being used for some tasks like shopping. That is why the usual weekend grocery bonding of the household are slowly fading out. Some stores are even providing video slots to give away electronic gift certificates to shop more online.
However, these kind of lifestyle is totally not healthy. There may be a lot of convenience in dealing with computer related jobs but moving a little form time to time is needed by our system to maintain good circulation. Our health experts specifically the researchers from the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., were able to come with an alternative way to stay moving while at a computer related work.
Pedalling a mini-exercise bike on the job could help improve the health of sedentary office workers. This pedal is being attached below the desktop in the offices and while working the person continues to pedal. “Findings from this study suggest that this pedal machine may be a feasible tool for reducing sedentary time while at work,” said Lucas Carr, the head researcher. Pedalling at the office could result in health benefits if done regularly. Similar to pedals, treadmills are also customized to fit under computer tables and similar gadgets are currently being manufactured.To receive updates from Daily Top Trends directly to your e-mail, you can subscribe to us for free by entering your e-mail address here and confirming your subscription by clicking the link that will be sent to your e-mail address.

With mortgage rates at an all time low and the chance they may drop even further, this is a great time to reach out to your favorite mortgage lender to discuss refinancing. Depending on how long you have been in your house and what your interest rate is, it might be possible for you to refinance to a lower rate, a shorter term and reduce your monthly payment at the same time. Your lender can tell you if this makes sense for you.
One thing to remember is that there will be some closing costs to accompany refinancing your home but your savings will cover them quickly. However, if you are planning to sell your home this year, it may not make sense to refinance as you aren’t likely to recover those expenses before you sell your home.
While the Federal Reserve’s recent change to interest rates has potential to drop rates further, the rates haven’t changed significantly due to that because mortgage lenders have been backed up for some time lately due to the latest refinance frenzy but that’s ok. Mortgage rates were already low enough to justify you calling your lender. In the past, maybe your lender has reached out to you when mortgage rates dropped to ask you about refinancing. Don’t expect to hear from them this time because they don’t have time to call you. If you call them though, they will make time to help you.
Refinancing your home can be a great way to reduce your housing expenses, add money to your savings or pay down other debt. If you are nearing retirement, add your savings to an IRA or another retirement account for the future. Younger people may choose to use their savings to establish a college savings account for their children. Another option would be to use the money you save over a period of time to make some updates to your home. If you need a recommendation for a mortgage lender, call us today and we can connect you with one.

Kathy Evans's burst of unpublished author insecurity this week led me to reflect on where I was in the process and how I felt. Kathy and I have been in the trenches for quite a while, waiting for the call-up to publishing glory – we even shared a blog post at the end of 2011 as writers who were "Almost There". We're still just as Almost There as we were back then and I was briefly tempted to title this post "The Waiting Room of the Damned"! But that would be an overly negative assessment that doesn't entirely reflect how I feel about things.
In many ways, the state of being Almost There is an agonising one – you've won approval for your writing, perhaps signed with an agent, and yet the publishing part stubbornly refuses to happen. You know that your work is publishable and editors love it, but somehow it never goes to acquisitions, or worse, it gets there and is turned down. To build your hopes up so far and then have them crushed is truly awful, especially if you don't have the luxury of rival publishers waiting in the wings to pick up your book. It can be like climbing almost to the top of Everest and discovering a sign that says "Summit Closed for Essential Repairs".
And yet, people do still sneak through. I look to Jackie Marchant or Teri Terry, who sat in the waiting room for far longer than me before they passed on to considerable success. That time you spend as an Almost There can be the making of you, allowing you to hone your skills, make contacts and discover the right voice for yourself and for your audience. I find myself harking back to a blog post Teri wrote in 2010, about the realisation that who she was as a person was getting in the way of the books she was trying to write. By taking her own personality and background into account, Teri was able to find publication with the incredibly successful Slated trilogy. Now perhaps, she was also lucky with her timing in terms of catching the dystopian wave before it crashed, but when I see the plaudits and awards that Teri is gathering (from real live teenage readers), I feel greatly encouraged.
Perhaps my current hopeful state of mind is because I've got something new I'm excited about, a book that's yet to be tainted by rejection. Or maybe it's because I've finally reached the "better place" I've been hoping to find for the last three years. I still want to be published, but I no longer need to be – which is an important mental shift for me. Will this new and improved mental attitude have any effect on my chances of publication? Probably not. But if I can stay feeling like this, then waiting (and learning) doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world anymore.

highlighted previously. Temperature will also affect the internal stability of the instrument as mentioned earlier, so at extreme temperatures 10 degrees about the standard, allow the instrument's temperature to equalise with the surrounding ambient temperature. Another major issue in West Africa is that the instrument expands slightly when hot, and the seals are not so effective in keeping out moisture (particularly a problem in areas of high humidity (Niger Delta etc.), so make sure the instrument is dried out fully before storing. If instrument is left with moisture inside then mildew will grow internally affecting the optics and the electronics. Then the instruments need stripping down and cleaning carefully.…

But Cadastre has differentiate itself beyond the GIS toolbox, serving the primary function of GIS technology which are analysis, storing, updating, viewing and displaying of Geospatial reference data to the Earth.
Cadastre is taking a more drastically u-turn in our world with the advancement of GIS technology.
In Nigeria as an example, some cadastral department is been replaced by a sector under Geographic Information System such as Niger State Geographic Information System (NIGIS), Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS), Plateau State Geographic Information System (PLAGIS), Lagos State Geographic Information System (LAGIS), Nasarawa State Geographic Information System (NAGIS) etc.
The above mentioned GIS sectors are due to revolutionize analogue Cadastre system to more digitalized system.
Hence, GIS and Cadastre remain indispensable as far as digital information surpass analogue information and additionally more preferable to analogue information system.

Upon speaking with the suspect at his residence located at 1418-I Taney Ave. Apt. 301, Frederick, Md., officers reportedly smelled the odor of marijuana inside the residence.
This point is where the bizarre story takes a new twist.
As officers were attempting to apply for a search warrant of the residence, Tucker allegedly attempted to bribe officers who were on the scene to dispose of evidence before the search warrant could be executed.
You can’t fix stupid
PRINCE FREDERICK, MD. — One driver who should have been arrested when first stopped by a trooper was instead given a break and allowed to call someone to drive his vehicle, due to his driver’s license being suspended.
Maryland State Police report that on 7/7/14 at 4:56 pm, Trooper First Class Lewis stopped a vehicle on Rt. 231 and Thoroughbred Dr. for traffic violations. Avon D. Cochran, 23 of Waldorf, was driving on a suspended license. He was advised he could not continue to drive and he agreed to make arrangements for his own disposition. Approximately 5 minutes later, after resuming traffic enforcement, TFC Lewis located Cochran driving on Church St. in Prince Frederick. He was arrested for failing to obey a lawful order. He was incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center.
On the contrary, he seemed to readily understand that people will never agree on everything, but that he just wanted the opportunity to explain why he held the opinion he presented. That was a refreshing change from the career politicians we have today.
I have been a registered voter for 22 years and this was the first time a candidate had the guts to knock on my door, let alone answer my questions. It renewed my interest in the local politics and I began to research the upcoming primary. I thought the carpetbagger claim was funny, considering Mr. Morgan had lived in the district even before it was changed by redistricting. That just showed a lack of substance on the part of others to resort to labeling or name-calling.
After my research, I found I had plenty to make me question the other candidates. Maybe I would have voted for one of them instead if they had the courage to go door to door, weathering the cold and the questions.

Corinne Fenton's Adventures around the UKOctober 31st, 2019
My first week in London began with a visit to Gidea Park Library to chat to the Year 2’s and 3’s from Squirrel Heath Primary School about the writing of Scruffle-Nut. Their eyes opened wide when I explained I’d arrived from Australia only the day before. The greatest compliment was when I could not hear a pin drop as I read Scruffle-Nut.
The following day was the official launch and story time at Nomad Bookshop in Fulham where a room full of babies, children and parents helped celebrate the launch of Scruffle-Nut and the joy of books. Thank you to Nomad Books for hosting and New Frontier for organising and Illustrator Owen Swan for making the journey too. Squirrel drawing and craft activities followed while we all enjoyed munching on strawberries, chocolate squirrels and other treats.
I then ran a story time and craft session in the stately Chelsea Library surrounded by mothers, pre-schoolers and school children.
In between all of this I did the tourist-thing in London, including visiting Abbey Road Studios, The Notting Hill Bookshop, and The British Library, before setting off to visit bookshops and research and write a new story.
I journeyed north through the beautiful Cotswolds, popping into the Motor Museum. Also visited Blenheim Palace, the stately home where Sir Winston Churchill was born and Hidcote House and Manor Gardens.
Made a quick visit to Shakespeare’s Birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon, up into stunning Beeley in Derbyshire, where at Chatsworth House I took a special tour in the library and viewed a 1st edition of Pride and Prejudice for Pride and Prejudice Literary Day.
I had the privilege of visiting Hill Top Farm, owned by Beatrix Potter for 40 years and now left to the National Trust. It was such a treat to walk in the rooms where she wrote, imagining Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck hiding about her garden.
Next stop was beautiful Edinburgh where I said hello again to the statue of Greyfriar’s Bobby and called into Waterstones Edinburgh where I met the lovely Nora. I also popped in to the Golden Hare Bookshop and enjoyed a performance at the International Storytelling Festival. And of course we visited The Elephant House cafe where JKR began writing Harry Potter.
Heading south I visited The White Rose Bookshop and cafe in Thirsk, and the James Herriot Museum. I had the biggest thrill in visiting the birthplace of Matthew Flinders and the wonderful statue of Flinders and Trim which stands proudly in the centre of Donington.
Finishing off in London, I visited the office of New Frontier before attending a brilliant performance of Michael Morpurgo’s I Believe in Unicorns by Danyah Miller from Wizard at the Southbank Centre. The next day I did a lovely signing for Scruffle-Nut at WHSmith in Shepherd's Bush.
I spent my birthday visiting parks and bookshops, including Daunt Books and Waterstones. Final stop was Daunt Books in Cheapside where Sam had placed an order for Scruffle-Nut and A Cat Called Trim and had asked me to come back and sign them. Not only was the trip a professional challenge and success, it was also emotional on many levels including the fact that the last time I visited London I was 21 and living and working there as a secretary. So after the book commitments, I took a walk down memory lane and visited the hotel I stayed in when I first arrived in London and the flat I lived in in Swiss Cottage.
As winter leaves tumble and twirl a wisp of memory wraps itself about me and whispers me back to long ago...

Even on a day when the out-of-work are top of mind, it’s worth thinking about how to motivate those left behind.
Today’s headlines are focused on the nearly 600,000 jobs lost in January. And for good reason. It is a staggering figure, and the losses are distressingly “large and widespread across nearly all
major industry sectors” to use the Department of Labor’s own words.
With so many workers hitting the street, the productivity of those remaining is on the rise, but can that last?
Ravin Jesuthasan, a managing principal at Towers Perrin, warns that the kinds of productivity gains we’ve been witnessing are going to plateau sometime soon. Those left after the layoffs can only pick up so much slack. Further, Towers has found that at least 40% of employers have now frozen the wages of those who are fortunate enough to still be drawing a paycheck. Jesuthasan expects that figure to climb by the end of the Spring.
More work and flat pay does not add up to a recipe for happy workers, but Jesuthasan says there is one thing smart companies are focusing on that can have a big impact: bonuses based on performance.
Wall Street may have given this idea a bad name in recent weeks, but overall, Jesuthasan says, over the past ten years more companies in more industries have begun linking some pay to performance even among the rank and file. And he’s pleased to see that most of his clients are not abandoning the practice even in these tough times. Typically workers have a shot at a bonus of around 5 to 6% of pay, he says.
“Even though their salary is frozen, they have a chance to make significantly more,” he notes. Typically the lower down the organization, the more directly a workers bonus will be tied to their own performance or their group’s results. So even if the recession is hurting corporate profits, they can still see a payoff if they’re hitting other targets. “It can be a management tool to help turn around the company,” he says.
Among manufacturers, he’s now seeing a rising interest in the gain sharing programs first made popular in the 1990s in which companies share the benefits of productivity gains with employees. Measures like quality and volume produced, says Jesuthasan, are “highly controllable by the workforce.” Comparable metrics in service industries like airlines and retail are customer service, satisfaction and loyalty.
How can you manage smarter? Bloomberg Businessweek contributors synthesize insights from the brightest business thinkers, critique the latest management trends, and comment on leaders in the news.


Report: African countries losing millions
Poor African countries rich in minerals are losing tens of millions of dollars in revenue that can be used to fund health, education and other social programs because of tax breaks and low royalties they have given to mining companies, said a report released Wednesday.
The mining companies have been given tax concessions or low royalty rates because the contracts signed with the governments have been negotiated in secret or government ministries have wide discretionary powers that lawmakers have no say over, said the report.
Titled "Breaking The Curse," the report is the work of a coalition of international and local non-governmental organizations that includes Actionaid International and Christian Aid. It covers seven Africa countries: Congo, Ghana, Malawi, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia.
The report estimates low royalty rates have or will cost South Africa, the continent's biggest gold producer, up to $359 million a year in revenue. Similarly, another top African gold producer, Ghana, is losing $68 million a year in revenue, and Tanzania, the continent's third largest producer, $30 million a year in income, the report said.
"African mining tax regimes need to be reformed to ensure that African governments are able to collect a fair share of mining rents to fund their national development plans," said the report.
"In some countries this would require an increase in the rates of royalties and other taxes; in others this would require a stop to the practice of negotiating tax breaks for individual companies in secret contracts."
The report points out that the seven African countries covered have lost the chance to collect huge sums of revenue at a time when global prices for metals are coming out of a five-year boom that ended last year.

Don’t Believe It
We live knowing little about where we come from or what our tasks are, we use only a portion of our gifts, we perceive just a fraction of the immensity that every day carries us along. The greater part of our existence is unclaimed and orphaned, seldom visited or visible. We have intimations of this unclaimed life, hints that inside or beneath the tasks that press upon us is a more expansive life, and these hints make a difference to our outlook, we remember them and we hope for them.
A Chinese sage said this about the mind:
Whatever confronts you, don’t believe it.
When something appears shine your light on it.
Have confidence in the light that is always working inside you.
Gateways to the larger life are usually to be found where I don’t look, otherwise I would be walking through them already. I like to imagine these openings as concealed, written in runes visible only by moonlight, but they are often in plain sight guarded merely by No Trespassing signs. The signs don’t say “Avoid this Place’; they say ‘Forget that you noticed this place, these are not the droids you are looking for’.
Fear is one of the gateways. At one moment there is a conventional landscape, with copy machines, convenience stores and parking garages, and suddenly, fear! Nobody voluntarily drops in for a chat with fear, we are just tossed against it, then it is outside us and inside us. Dread twists like an alien invader in our flesh; we sweat, we shiver, our teeth chatter, we’re scared for our survival, sometimes we are almost willing to die to get it over with.
And it’s not just the story of fear that remains and is remembered; our cells remember, our noses and fingers and ears remember, we smell the interior of a post office where we once received certain letters and we get a migraine, we hear a particular tone of voice and our skin crawls, we hear a distant explosion and we shake.
Fears accumulate. Life can press down in a way so physical that we are afraid to walk out the door. I knew a woman whose fear took a form in which she couldn’t leave the house, she couldn’t shop or take her kids to school. She and her husband, who was a Navy NCO, had camouflage sheets; perhaps she felt and shared his fear under fire, some fear he could not speak, perhaps the sheets allowed them to relax in the bedroom. She was an unconscious artist—her symptoms were a comment on her life.
But having camo sheets is not still not really taking measures; it’s more like building a hut inside enemy territory. That’s not the same as being curious about fear. What if it’s possible to enjoy fear and to use it to shine a light into the dark excitement of being alive. If we look into it, fear is a moment in which we are living fully without registering that fact.
One night my young border collie ran onto the road and, to encourage better and more self preserving manners, I picked her up by the scruff of the neck, as if she were still a puppy. Her eyes rolled in a surprising way and her teeth chattered and that night I remembered a night when my own teeth chattered.
“I’m cold,” I said to girl beside me, though it was New Year’s Eve and summer in the Southern hemisphere. I was on a pale, sandy track in a car beside a girl I didn’t know. In the front seat was a driver I hardly knew and another girl I didn’t know. I didn’t know that I wasn’t cold. Our way out was blocked by another car, sideways in the lights. The two men in that car got out and one of them wrenched open our driver’s door, dragged the driver out. A fight began. The one person I did know was the driver of the other car, who currently stood in the lights with his arms loosely by his sides. He was a magical physical being, a truly intelligent football player and street fighter who worked unloading railway cars. I climbed out of the chilly interior of the Holden, walked toward him and said, “Hello Peter,” as if we had just run into each other downtown.
“I thought you were coming to fight me,” he said, meaning that it wasn’t his fight but he was still letting that fact sink in. There was perhaps a note of wistfulness. No reply was necessary and we stood beside each other with arms folded and an air of connoisseurship, unearned on my part. The fight was unsatisfying and petered out. I thought I was shivering because I was cold rather than afraid, or excited. Perhaps because of this misunderstanding of mine, the night lost its charged and surprising plot. We all saw through the drama, since we changed course and went on our way, though when I remember that evening I can still feel the chill in my shoulder blades.
It wasn’t until the collie’s teeth chattered that I remembered my own shaking. When I saw her reaction, I wasn’t sure how to parse it—was she afraid of me, was it neurological? She was the doorway for another event apparently lost; empathy for the dog moved to empathy for my own life and a moment I had thought of as pointless became alive. I hadn’t realized that fear was part of that night, a possibility in a swirl that didn’t quite take a shape. And the long ago, commonplace night stepped forward and became wonderful merely because I looked at it.
Moments in present time come alive too—maple leaves falling down their invisible, spiral stair, the wild geese crying out on their way to snow country, a call that tugs me to go with them. Then there is the elasticity of time, another source of liveliness, and the friend of all those who concentrate on their tasks. A gap appears between the squeaks of my footsteps on an old linoleum floor, as I walk down a corridor to a meditation hall. When something crucial needs to be decided events might slow down in an Emergency Room. Time softens when I listen; the wind in the trees, set in action long ago when the universe began, has something to say. Not explaining a moment allows it to blossom.
News arrives in the mind accompanied by a cloud of knowing, a whirl of reasons, opinions, assessments, convictions, past instances. Eventually this whirl collapses into something we call by a name—for example, fear. Or whatever we call it—it might be exhilaration. As William James said, if we see a bear, we run and we feel fear, in that order. Before the whirl of thoughts and feelings collapses into a shape, we don’t believe it. Since we don’t believe it, it might turn into anything, it might it go backwards, it might unmake itself.
Undoing the world
Even when it comes to the emphatically physical dimension of experience—we don’t have to believe that either. A couple of years after the New Year’s Eve when my teeth chattered, I was at University and began to get migraine headaches. I paced up and down in a kind of exile, trying to escape my body. In this condition one sunny afternoon, I walked and walked and came to the wharves in Hobart. Some guys were drinking port wine, sitting on the splintery beams, leaning against a stanchion, swinging their legs over the water. They were Aboriginal, in exile in a different and darker way—from history, from jobs, from the regard of the commercial world. I sat on the beams beside them. They offered me some of the wine, which I didn’t feel up to. They wanted to go home to a fishing port just down the coast. The conversation went around and around. If we had the money, and we had a car, then we could go home where we could get a car and the money we needed to go home, but then we would already be home. It was a pure conversation, having no clear destination and no set time for arrival.
The water shone, slate-like, with rainbow pools of oil, the afternoon clouds moved upriver, a forklift bounced along the dock, everything was exactly the way it is. I think of the Sanskrit word “Tathagata” meaning
I worked by the day cleaning typewriters and just been paid, and without thinking about it offered the cash for a taxi. This galvanized the afternoon, their joy was unalloyed, and confiding; a destination appeared. They were going up to The Coronation for a drink. That seemed natural too. ‘You want a beer,’ they said, ‘you come on up.’ I thanked them gravely. My headache disappeared.
Situations changed when I moved toward them. With the headaches, there were auras and blocks of dark stain and rhythms in my head. But there was nothing yet wrong with that. An impartiality towards what was going on inside and outside began to seem possible.
When things are too big and too near to be shaped or to make sense, a gate swings open, and that is a true moment. Disasters can do that because they limit the choices we have and all we want is to get dry or eat, or for things stop falling. It is enough to be alive then without constantly worrying about it. At such a time, being true is all a moment needs to do. “No eye, no ear, no nose, no mouth, no body and no mind,” says the Heart Sutra.
One evening in the depths of a retreat, in the grip of the idea of not believing in things, I asked people to write down their most frightening moment, perhaps the thing behind the No Trespassing sign. A couple of people jumped right into the experiment; they went into the twilight in the back of the meditation hall, lay down on the carpet, and wailed. Strangely, I had not expected this. I knelt beside one of them and asked how it was going. “I’m alright,” she said in a dignified way, “I’m doing this,” and went on sobbing. I felt the affection I always feel for those who have to go into the dark places.
There is another thing I particularly remember from that exercise. An engineer who was usually amiable and hearty but preferred puns to emotion, began to tell a story. His voice trembled; in the dim hall tears shone in his eyes.
I was stationed in Ascom, South Korea—the NCO in charge of the Tech Supply Department, though I was trained as a radar repairman. January 23 started out with an early call for a company formation. There we were told that the North Koreans had attacked the Navy ship Pueblo and that the situation was tense. We were told to go to work and get ready to move everything south. Ascom is at Bup Yong Dong just a few miles from the DMZ. If any thing happened it would get to us very fast and we knew we had no chance. We had a ringside seat for the war. Missile trailers were lined up on the road heading north, armed with nukes, everyone else saw it by then. We were all shaken. I thought I had an hour to live. I was certain I was going to die and felt very helpless and scared. I still feel that way when I remember.
There was no need to resolve anything but at that moment everyone in the room had confidence in him, and it seemed that he began to have confidence in himself too.
The dark, charged moments endure in us and they bless us—‘this,’ they announce, ‘is your life. Here it is.’ What you have always longed for has arrived. Even when nothing is done to transform your life, you can see through the moment, it becomes intimate and large like Autumn sky, it has with its own light.
The Space Inside What We Feel
Most of the stories we tell are a hurried sketch of what is happening or of what happened. We feel bad and fetch around for reasons. We are unhappy because—husband, wife, child, boss, ghost, disease, money, shame, grief, people are suffering in another country, it’s going to snow, our bones ache. We check off the reasons for unhappiness in an effort to find the plot of our lives. Having a problem becomes an identity, a narrative line and a reason to live.
As a child I thought that pretending you believed things must be one of the rules of the game. It was obvious that people pretended not to be angry when they were angry and not to be sad when they were sad, and also pretended not to know certain things that were common knowledge. I thought the game was like charades, it was an arbitrary system that everybody was agreed on.
Some of the stories came to seem heartbreaking. I had a spinster great aunt, Mary, a women of verve, fond of hats and outings to the Melbourne Cup, the famous horse race. She had a secret; she had been left at the altar, pregnant, and her baby was raised by a cousin who pretended to be the mother. Aunt Mary asked my sister to bring what would have been Mary’s grandson home with her to play. My sister, to whom the request was inexplicable, said, “Oh I don’t know him well enough for that.” I suppose the absence of that child turned into all the cups of tea and kindnesses she gave to me, the wood I cut for her, the jam she made from the green gages in her yard, which I picked for her. If I had known I would have wanted to help, might have befriended the kid and brought him around. But there wasn’t a way for us to know, the only hint was that Mary made odd requests from time to time and was very sympathetic to children.
While privately reserving judgment, I pretended, almost out of courtesy, that what people said was something I believed too. At some stage I noticed that in following this course, what I loved had become obscure to me. The ancient question, ‘Who am I?” seems to come from such a process; it happened when I realized that I didn’t know what I believed or who believed it. Discarding the things we thought we loved is a move toward finding what we do love, which is not a matter of belief.
Not Believing The Expected Thing
Difficult times are freeing because then the things we only thought we cared about are taken from us. They no longer burden us. I noticed this as a child when some older kids from a gang broke my nose. Once I had escaped and the bleeding stopped, I wondered what to do, but there wasn’t much I needed to do. I tried telling myself what a big thing had happened but it hadn’t, really. There was a kind of release, I wasn’t afraid of being beaten any more, the moments parsed themselves, the afternoon unfolded and went on. A similar example happened when someone cut me off, and I spun out a car. I was at the center of time, which stretched as trees and buildings turned around me; I was happy in the ‘oh it’s this’. Then my little car came to rest and I wondered what to do and how much outrage would be suitable. The other car was gone, and even the spinning seemed far in the past. I just drove off.
When blunt enormity of the world becomes visible so does its dream-like floating transparence. Peace spreads out in every direction. Underneath all the maneuvers the mind makes is the rumbling of the universe at work, which carries on regardless. Sometimes I’ve been willing to have the undesired event last forever since it is life and any moment of life is complete.
To explain what’s happening is often to find a problem with it. For me, meditation became a time when I was spared; I didn’t have to explain what was happening, even to myself, it was not necessary that there be any fault in the world.
Meditation begins with fetching about in the mind. In a dark hour, a door opens, even our impairment is on our side. This is to be relied upon, because in the dark moment we stop reaching for our explanations. We can have confidence in what is going on within us because we can’t drive the process the way we would like to. Fearlessness appears in a world of fear.
- Do you have places in your thoughts or memory that are off limits? What might some of them be? When you look at them does your story about them change?
- Do you remember being afraid as a child? Do remember feeling fear in more recent times?
- Is there a difference between dread and fear for you? Are there other emotions that you don’t like to look at?
- What is it like when you have been afraid of something and then not afraid?
- What does your light look like? How do you know it?
- What does it feel like to have confidence in yourself, in your light? What is a time when you have noticed that confidence recently?


Dentists practising at Lakewood Dental Group will be setting up shop at the College of New Caledonia (CNC) for the summer while their home goes through a major renovation starting near the end of this month.
Located on 15th Avenue near Ospika Boulevard, the building's general dentistry area, which holds 27 chairs, will go through an extensive upgrade starting May 27 and lasting until Aug. 7.
"We're completely redoing everything, right down to the office chairs," Lakewood Dental chief executive officer Hans Minck said.
The new digs will house up-to-date equipment that recent graduates from dentistry school are familiar with. Many of them are coming out of the University of British Columbia, which is home of one of Canada's state-of-the-art facilities.
"So it's pretty hard to recruit people to a place where it's archaic," said Minck, who declined to say how much the work will cost.
Two dentists working out of Lakewood Dental are behind the new building under construction on Fifth Avenue near Ospika, but Minck said that project has nothing to do with Lakewood Dental's decision to renovate.
"None of it's related," Minck said. "Just the same thing kind of happened at the same time."
With the city's population growing, there is a need for more dentists, Minck said.
Patients booking for the summer months are being advised to go to CNC's dental wing.

A cover image for the new Gerald Seymour novel No Mortal Thing has appeared on Amazon.co.uk.
Publication date is still set for January 2016.
Just a quick update regarding the release date on the new novel No Mortal Thing. The book was originally due to come out in July 2015. I’ve just had word from Hodder books that the release date has now been set for January 2016.
So that’s a slightly longer gap between books. But I think we’ve been lucky to have a new book released every summer since 2008, by my reckoning.
Additionally a look at the Amazon UK listings shows that Hodder is planning a special 40th anniversary edition of Harry’s Game for the later part of this year. More news on that as I get it.
Yes, it’s that time again, tomorrow is New Gerald Seymour Paperback Day and Vagabond will be out in book shops.
Actually it’s out already. By which I mean that my local Tesco had it out on the shelves when I stopped by tonight. So you’ve no excuse not to buy it for a mere £3.85.*
* Insert generic disclaimer along the lines of “other book shops are available”…
Just a quick alert that The Works has the paperback of The Outsiders for just £1.99 in store or online.
Well worth picking up a copy if you don’t already have the book.
Readers in the Hampshire area have a chance to meet Gerald Seymour next Wednesday. See the details below.
Meet the Author ~ Gerald Seymour
Petersfield Library, Hampshire.
Wednesday 23 July, 7.30pm.

We’re delighted to welcome Gerald Seymour. Harry’s Game, published in 1975 and subsequently made into a series for television, was an instant bestseller. Gerald has since published a book every year.
‘Vagabond’ marks a return to Northern Ireland, his first book to be set there since the Good Friday agreement was put in place. His novels are all originally researched with carefully constructed observation and brilliant characterisation.
Gerald was a reporter for ITN covering stories including The Troubles, Vietnam, the Great Train Robbery and The Munich Olympics Massacre. He featured in the Oscar winning documentary ‘One Day in September’.
Come and hear Gerald in conversation about his fascinating career, from reporter to novelist.
Sad news. It has been announced that Harry’s Game actor Ray Lonnen has died.
Read the BBC News article here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-28307388
Ray Lonnen also appeared in the ITV drama series The Sandbaggers which was a realistic look at how the intelligence services worked in Britain during the Cold War. Highly recommended.

Every once in a while I find myself listening to a song or an album and really feel like playing along. Especially to the ones that have no drums.
Pt. 1, Buddy Miller - God's Winged Horse
From the beautiful album 'The Majestic Silver Strings', with drums on most of the tracks by one of all time favorites: Jay Bellerose.
The original line-up on this song, as written in the album credits:
Julie (Miller) put lyrics to this piece of Bill (Frisell)'s and sang it with Buddy. Bill and Marc (Ribot) on acoustic guitars, Buddy on baritone, Greg (Leisz) on pedal steel."

Released Apr. 9th on Rise Records
When Face to Face put out Ignorance Is Bliss in 1999, they lost many of their SoCal punk fans by switching to a more alternative/indie rock sound. They quickly backpedaled, and their catalog has otherwise stuck to their strengths: fast skate-punk with big choruses and lots of whoa-oahs. On Three Chords and a Half Truth, their second album since reuniting in 2008 after a 4-year split, they’re again stretching their creative legs, though not nearly as far as on Ignorance Is Bliss. Three Chords slows things down a bit from the Face to Face we’re used to, going for more of a traditional rock sound.
Opener “123 Drop” sets the tone with a stomping beat that then gives way to the rousing “Welcome Back to Nothing”, a track that strongly evokes The Clash’s “Tommy Gun” in its opening riffs. Most of the songs on this record evoke a blend between that band and F2F’s SoCal contemporaries Social Distortion, another group that over the years has smoothed out their aggressive early sound by transitioning to rootsy American rock. One can imagine Mike Ness stepping in for Trever Keith in “Right as Rain” and the song having the exact same vibe.
“First Step, Misstep” is a shuffling two-step number, while “Bright Lights Go Down” is a faster with a sing-along chorus that’s probably the album’s closest thing to the Face to Face we’re used to (and bears a strong resemblance to MxPx, now that I reconsider it, as does “Flat Black”). On the album’s second half, “Jinxproof” aims to be inspirational but there’s something about the title word (or maybe the way Keith sings it) that comes off silly to me. “Marked Men” is another shuffler that never really builds to anything and then just sort of fades out.
When I saw Face to Face play this material back in May, Keith acknowledged that the mellower sound of the new album wasn’t something the fans were chomping for: “I know, you’re a San Diego crowd” he said in a friendly-but-sort-of-self-deprecating way, “You’re thinking ‘I wanna hear something from [the bands’ 1992 debut] Don’t Turn Away and I want it fast‘, but we gotta play the new stuff too.” It makes me wonder, when he’s repeating “everything I’m telling you is a lie” in the title track, how much he’s referring to the stylistic shift on the record being an indulgence.
Closer “Across State Lines” is a tour song in which Keith declares “I don’t want this to end”, and that sentiment sort of sums up the album for me. At this point the guys in Face to Face are in their 40s and aren’t trying to break through to new audiences. They’re a seasoned road band, having weathered a career with many ups and downs, and even after a 4-year breakup they’ve got a built-in audience in their home turf that’ll turn out to every show to hear tunes from the ’90s, no matter what new material the band puts out. That frees them up to try something a bit different stylistically rather than be beholden to their early skate-punk sound. It’s nice to see the band stretch out and follow their muses, even if the results don’t measure up to their classic material.
