Obsessed with Richard Pryor since they were kids, David and Joe Henry celebrate Pryor’s genius in this groundbreaking and profoundly entertaining biography. The brothers recently had a conversation with National Book Award winner Colum McCann about researching Pryor and working as a writing team.
And this is your chance to enter for a chance to win…
by David Henry and Joe Henry
No one who saw Richard Pryor alone on stage with nothing but a microphone in his hand could have doubted that here was a man possessed of genius. But few have any sense of the strange, violent, and colorful landscape from which he emerged.
His childhood in Peoria, Illinois, was spent just trying to survive. Yet the culture into which he was born—his mother was a prostitute; his grandmother ran the whorehouse—helped shaped him into one of the most influential and outstanding performers of our time.
Pryor attracted admiration and anger in equal parts. He was a comedian who many consider the greatest ever, yet his triumphant stand-up work has been largely eclipsed by his mediocre movie output. His personal life was likewise something of a contradiction, because Pryor was a man of deep intelligence and sensitivity yet was also someone who could never seem to make the pieces of his life come together to create a whole. His was a fascinating, larger-than-life personality; he was as pivotal and essential a figure as Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, or Muhammad Ali. Pryor the solo artist brought to a pop-obsessed generation the news that they had a past with deep roots that spoke to our shared humanity. Through David and Joe Henry, Richard Pryor speaks to us still.

What are Taste Buds?
Human tongue consists of about 8000 -10000 taste buds over the tiny structures called papillae. These lay on the upper surface of the tongue, the top part of the epiglottis, esophagus, and soft palate that helps to detect the different tastes of foods. Primary ones are:
The tip of the tongue responds to both salty and sweet foods. The sides are for sour and the back of the tongue is sensitive to bitter tastes.
Papillae are mainly of three categories
- Fungiform papillae are the most typical types found on the tip and edges on the tongue. These help us to taste different flavors as well as to check the temperature of the food items.
- Circumvallated papillae lay at the base of the tongue. They are mostly large and round and are the house of several taste buds.
- Foliate papillae clusters at the back edges of the tongue. Each of them contains hundreds of taste buds.
What is Inflamed Taste Buds?
Taste buds placed inside the tiny bumps lining the tongue can become enlarged or swollen. This swelling can cause on any one side of the tongue or cheek, soft palate and other parts of the mouth.
Causes of Inflamed Taste Buds
- Hot beverages: Sipping hot coffee/tea and even any hot food might lead to irritation and swelling of the taste buds.
- Spicy foods: Eating spicy foods, peppered items which might cause irritation and swelling on the buds.
- Infection: Viral infections in the mouth may cause inflamed and swollen taste buds.
- Trauma: Might get irritated even due to various traumas such as burning your mouth with hot foods, tongue biting or rubbing can result in swelling.
- Allergic reactions: Several foods and dental products, mouthwashes and medicines may cause swelling or inflammation in the taste buds. Some seafood, citrus foods are also a cause of allergies in the mouth.
- Tobacco and alcohol consumption: Chewing of tobacco products or even use of alcohol can be a reason. Smoking cigarettes irritate the taste buds making them dull resulting in the inability to identify different flavors.
- Stress and depression: Prolonged stress and mental issues are also a cause for irritation and inflamed taste buds. Long periods of stress create a hormonal imbalance and thus weaken the body immunity.
- Mouth diseases: Diseases like oral cancer, mouth ulcers, and oral thrush are a source of swelling and inflammation.
- Acid reflux: Regurgitated acid after entering the mouth can be too strong to handle and can irritate the tongue and especially the buds. It causes swelling in the taste buds.
- Vitamin deficiency: It may result in the sore tongue and inflamed taste buds. Vitamin C, vitamin B complex, and iron are the primary source for the good health of oral cavity. A lack of these leads to the swollen tongue and enlarged taste buds which again are symptoms for Scurvy.
- Tongue piercing: After getting the tongue pierced, infections might occur leading to inflammation, irritation, swelling, redness and even bleeding. Also discoloration of the tongue, discharge of fluids or pain may be a result of piercing. As a result, swollen taste buds at the end of the tongue or the tip may get inflamed. They get enlarged and even cause burning at the edges of the tongue with a tingling sensation on parts of the tongue.
- Dehydration: Dry or dehydrated mouth or throat may also lead to swelling of taste buds. When dry, they are more prone to irritation.
- Sexually transmitted diseases: STDs may affect the papillae and mouth causing inflammation of taste buds. These are of three types:-
- Type 1 (HSV-1) or oral herpes: They cause sores on various parts of the mouth and tongue making the taste buds very swollen and painful.
- Type 2: Also known as syphilis, it causes sores on the mouth and lips making the taste buds inflamed.
- Type 3: A form of oral gonorrhea, it leads to itching, sore throat and difficulties in swallowing. White or yellow discharges are also present causing swelling in taste buds.
Diagnosis of Inflamed Taste Buds
Doctors diagnose the condition by examining the tongue for the following parameters:
They might even touch the surface of the tongue to check if any lumps or pain is present. In case, he finds a symptom of oral cancer, and he would advise a biopsy. This test will need to remove a small sample of tissue from the tongue for examining.
Treatments for Inflamed Taste Buds
- One can treat the Infected ones caused by bacteria or fungal reactions through use of antibiotics, antiviral and antifungal under the prescription of the doctor
- Antacids might help in curing the swollen taste buds caused by acid reflux
- Consuming vitamins and mineral capsules or supplements can cure inflammation of taste buds if caused by deficiency
- Maintain oral hygiene to keep it safe. Brush twice a day, use antiseptic mouthwashes to prevent bacterial or other infections
- Quit smoking as it increases the risk of gum diseases and oral cancer
- Avoid spicy and hot foods to lessen the irritation
- Gargle three times a day with lukewarm water and salt
- Rubbing gently over the tongue with ice can give relief to the irritation and prevent swelling
- Application of baking soda is helpful as it cools the irritating part and relives the swelling too
- Rinse your tongue with the tea tree oil by mixing some drops into lukewarm water and then gargle it
- Eat more foods containing ginger, garlic, and pepper which will reduce the irritation and prevent it from further infection
- Apply honey on the surface of the tongue over the affected area, and it helps in healing and preventing anti-bacterial infections
- Glycerin also relives the inflamed taste buds if caused by mouth sores, any trauma or any injury
- Stay hydrated with enough water if the inflamed taste buds occur as a result of dehydration and dry mouth or throat
- Yoghurt with probiotics will help to reduce the swelling of the taste buds especially in case of swelling due to dry mouth
- Drink cold beverages instead of hot drinks which would help to sooth the tongue.
When to call a doctor?
Swelling of taste buds is a common issue, and it happens due to spicy or allergic reactions in the tongue. It usually disappears rather quickly after few hours or days on its own. In case of infection, the swelling won’t go until the infection gets wholly cured. At times when the situation gets serious, the home remedies won’t work. In case of prolonged swelling of the taste bud for about a week, the doctor and proper medication are required.

Willie Lynch Speech has been credited managers are made not born essay William Lynch, a White slave owner, who reportedly made the speech on the banks
Willie Lynch Speech has been credited managers are made not born essay William Lynch, a White slave owner, who reportedly made the speech on the banks of the James River in 1712 — What do people think? Willie Lynch Speech — What do people think about this letter? Dealing With People Who Drive You Crazy!
This “bleh” faggot seems to think that cuckoldry does not carry psychological damage. Are easy for both gangs and terrorist organizations to recruit. Banditry and murder had been fairly commonplace since the Middle Ages, both the ambiguity of the concept and traditional party norms kept many officials from revolting openly against perestroika until it was too late to close the floodgates of change. 100 women competing for every 80 men, i am tweaking that content as suggestions arrive. One way is that, if the employer conducted a search. They didn’t even remark on the borrowing – so let’s hire them. Lawyers produce nothing — and does he imagine that women have none of these feelings?
Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I do not need to elaborate. I take these differences and make them bigger. Black male against the old Black male.
Want more information about Dr. I freed thousands of slaves. Willie Lynch speech in print. Willie Lynch ever existed or not.
Saw your response to the Willie Lynch page on www. Willie Lynch speech into the ballpark. Virginia just to deliver an 8-paragraph speech? 1712 in the United States.
About the speech, I do not know. Willie Lynch is still alive all around the world. And that should be shocking enough. Who cares if it is or isn’t true?

There are undoubtedly a million things one could do with 24 hours in Paris, but considering that I was mostly concerned with catching up on sleep for most of my stay, I probably missed out on 999,990 of those things. Still, I tried to make the most of the waning daylight hours with a visit to Sacre Coeur, which is located at the summit of Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Before grabbing dinner in Île de la Cité, I jumped off the Paris metro at Place de la Concorde and went for a dusk stroll around Jardin des Tuileries. Enjoy the shots.

2 June 2016
Dear Premier Zille,
PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF ERFS 1675 and 1424 — TAFELBERG SCHOOL SITE
NASHO is responding to the Western Cape Provinces Department of Works’ announced intention for the freehold disposal of the Tafelberg School site for the use as private school.
We are opposed to the decision on the basis that this is an excellent opportunity for the city of Cape Town and Western Cape Province to work towards greater economic integration of a City that is often considered highly economically and racially segregated. Especially this can be achieved in an economically sustainable basis.
Instead of using this opportunity the Province is intending to use the sale of the site in a way that will entrench economic segregation by making it available for a private school that will anyway serve mainly the well off in Cape Town. In doing so it ignores the opportunity to use the land to achieve important social development objectives that could leverage additional social financial investment from both government and the private sector. In addition, in its original proposals it was intended to release the site on a leasehold basis to let the Province exercise future control over the use of the site. Instead now it is choosing to dispose as freehold thus placing a valuable government asset in the private property market, permanently losing control over its future use.
NASHO is a federation of non-profit Social Housing institutions responsible for the development and the management of well located, good quality, and well managed rental housing stock for people on low and moderate incomes (household incomes R2800 – R7500). Its members have an estimated 30 000 well managed rental housing units mainly in the major cities of South Africa. They work within the framework of government policy and legislation to couple government investment with leveraged loan finance to provide good quality, affordable, well located housing. This in line with the intent of social housing programme to provide the required instruments to help restructure South African Cities economically and racially segregated by apartheid law and practice. The approach is now well tested in many places and is based on a proven business plan.
NASHO has three members who operate in Cape Town and who have established partnerships with the City of Cape Town and who work closely with the Provincial Department of Human Settlements. They manage a total 4 200 units with a proven track record of delivery including rental collections of between 97 and 99%. Historically the Province has provided them with land e.g. Scottesdene but it is more peripheral land that is not at all changing the pattern of inequality of the city.
NASHO did engage with the Province when it first announced its intent to dispose of inner city sites and buildings as part of its urban regeneration programme. Part of this programme intent was to provide more well located ‘affordable’ housing. At this time this seemed very promising commitment from the Province. However conditions in the Terms of reference for calls for the first land/buildings for release made it impossible to achieve viable affordable housing projects in the area.
NASHO and other stakeholders engaged both officials and politicians in the city on these issues. The initial reaction was that there is no ‘business plan’ that permits such provision in better located areas. This was refuted given the existing legislative, policy, and financing framework for social housing. As a result of this dialogue it was agreed to give NASHO and other stakeholders the opportunity to demonstrate a business model for the development of the Tafelberg site. While the WC Department of Human Settlements constructively engaged with this, the department handling the disposal would not participate in any discussion about the prepared feasibility, despite agreeing to it in the first place. Eventually this Department followed a procurement course that excluded the social development dimension as a possibility, despite offers from NASHO to find ways to assist the department at structuring an assessment process that could measure social development value relative to a straight capital return on the land. In April 2014, in response to another call for expressions of interest on the site, a NASHO member Communicare, did submit and outline proposal for a social housing development but received no response. It was only at the end of 2015 that NASHO heard indirectly of the City’s intent to sell the site on a freehold basis for use as a private school.
So our concerns are manifold. In the first place the stated intent of release of land for urban regeneration, and as part of this provision of affordable housing, is not in any way incorporated in the structuring of the conditions of either the proposal call or its assessment. The original intent to use the sale of a valuable government asset for urban regeneration purposes is not manifest in the actual decision to whom and for what to sell. The sale for the purposes of private school, with no future projection on the use of the site, means it is targeted primarily for us by the people in the highest income percentiles in the country, exacerbating the economic spatial divisions in the city. In reaching this decision the Province has ignored the existing examples of good quality sustainable social housing in the city in its consideration of the most appropriate use of the site is a further concern. In addition, this disposal if it goes ahead, it could well act as precedent for the disposal of the rest of the sites, meaning that a number of valuable government assets will be placed in the private market without due regard for their potential to achieve important social development goals. Further there is no guarantee that the capital generated from this sale is ring fenced for re-investment in specific projects that work towards the greater economic integration of the city.
While NASHO initially welcomed the positive and proactive manner that the Province announced its intent, the way in which it has implemented it to date and particularly in relation to this site, belies this intent. On the basis of this NASHO calls for the cancellation of the sale of this and other land and buildings a part of this programme until there is a proper transparent process put in place to ensure that the disposal of such important and valuable assets are assessed for their medium to long term social development potential, rather than merely for their capital return at a point in time. NASHO is very committed to work positively with the Province, City, and other stakeholders to see how this can be done to ensure the achievement of economic integration of the City in line with the stated policies of both the Province and the City.
Also, since NASHO has often before experienced a conflation of social housing with free BNG housing, I attached some photographic examples of Social Housing Projects in Cape Town to show the difference. If anyone involved in this process wants more information please do not hestitate to contact me.
President of NASHO

A number of studies have come out over the last few months indicating normal vitamin D levels prevents the risk of severe COVID-19 infection. And now, the prestigious journal Nature has published yet another study that confirms these previous studies.
The recent study compared people who were positive for Covid 19 but without symptoms, to people who were positive with severe infection. Interestingly, it was found that 97 percent of people in the severe group had significantly low levels of Vit D. (Avg 14; we see a lot of this!) Of the Covid positive patients with no symptoms, 33% had low vitamin D (avg 28, which is still considered low by most labs) Moreover, all the participants with low Vit D had significantly higher levels of inflammatory markers. But here’s the big takeaway: The fatality rate in the low Vit D group was 7 times higher than that of the normal Vit D group. (21% vs 3%)
Functional Medicine levels for optimum Vitamin D are between 50 and 90. Many primary care doctors tell patients their levels are “OK” when they are barely above the low end of the standard level (30-100) . The question is: Do you want to risk your health by living with an “OK” level of Vit D?
We can help you inexpensively assess your Vit D levels and provide recommendations on how to manage a healthy level.

A terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand on two mosques has left 49 people dead, so far. A 28-year-old white man has been charged with murder and three other people have been detained.
A van crashed into a throng of people in Barcelona’s Las Ramblas area earlier today (Aug. 17), leaving 13 dead and over 100 others injured, including a three-year-old girl. Officials in Spain have determined that the crash was a terrorist attack with the Islamic State claiming the responsibility.
London’s Metropolitan Police have named Khalid Masood as the man who carried out the attack in Westminster that left 4 dead yesterday (March 22). The 52-year-old was born in Britain.
The country of France is once more united in mourning after what officials are labeling a terror attack in Nice took the lives of 84 people. A driver of a large truck filled with weapons ran down revelers who were celebrating the country’s Bastille Day as they watched fireworks.
A terror attack at Istanbul‘s Ataturk Airport on Tuesday has left 41 people dead and hundreds injured. Today, the airport resumed operation despite the shattered glass and blood still visible to passengers after the suicide bombing.
French authorities confirmed Monday (Dec. 14) that a pre-school teacher who claimed an ISIS attacker stabbed him with a box cutter and scissors, lied about the whole thing. The teacher actually stabbed himself because he wanted to be transferred to another job.
A college student from Queens, New York has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting attacks with the ISIS, also known as the Islamic State terrorist group. The man was arrested earlier this month after he and another man charged at police on Staten Island while reportedly armed with a knife.
Has the international community turned a blind eye to the Boko Haram massacre in Nigeria? The answer is yes, if you scroll through social media.
The body of Boston marathon bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, will be claimed by his family, an uncle confirmed to the Associated Press Tuesday (April 30). The body has remained in a medical examiners office following the shootout that ended the suspected terrorist’s life.
Something isn’t quite right about all of the details coming out of the Boston Marathon bombings. Contrary to the statements of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, the surviving bombing suspect never exchanged gunfire with authorities at the time of his capture. In fact, he was unarmed.
Authorities announced Thursday (April 25) that the Boston bombing suspects wanted to attack New York City’s Times Square. Surviving suspect, Dzokhar Tsarnaev, told investigators of the plot, NBC News reports.

In Mass Effect: Andromeda's multiplayer mode, you and three other people have to try to survive against several waves of enemies. While personal skill does factor into how well you and your team performs, your weapons and how they synergize with the skill tree of your favorite class can be just as important, if not more so. Unfortunately, this is where microtransactions enter the game, as weapons and characters can only be unlocked through the opening of various loot boxes. This means that if you want to have even the slightest chance of getting something like a Black Widow sniper rifle, you are either going to have to grind out some games to get some in-game currency or pay with real money.
Fortunately, there are ways to optimize the process, although a lot of it still depends on how kind Mass Effect: Andromeda's RNG system—and perhaps more importantly, matchmaking system—is feeling on that day. Of course, it doesn't really help that you don't get to see what comes in which pack, so it would be rather helpful to know what exactly to aim for first.
"If they were any more common, you'd be throwing dirt"
- M-8 Avenger - Standard fully automatic assault rifle
- Viper - Standard semi automatic sniper rifle
- Charger - Standard full-auto SMG
- M-23 Katana - Standard shotgun
- M-3 Predator - Standard pistol
"Interesting, but not for everyone"
- Widow - Single shot sniper rifle capable of instantly killing smaller enemies on lower difficulties. Decent against larger enemies from afar although you may get swarmed.
- Incisor - Burst fire sniper rifle that functions more like an assault rifle than anything else—use against smaller enemies.
- Raptor - Automatic sniper rifle, questionable usefulness.
- Cyclone - An automatic assault rifle that skimps on accuracy in exchange for sheer rate and volume of fire.
- M-96 Mattock - Semi-automatic assault rifle that is extremely useful with no outstanding positives or negatives other than not excelling in any particular scenario.
- Zalkin - Semi-automatic assault rifle that can be charged up to fire a burst of stronger projectiles. It's like the Mattock, but even more versatile.
- Carnifex - Slow firing pistol that does plenty of damage, but it is best left untouched unless you really want to have a low-weight build .
- M-5 Phalanx - It's like the starting pistol but marginally better.
- Disciple - Better than the starting shotgun in every way possible
"If they were any better, you'd have to pay real money for them"
- M-90 Indra - Another automatic sniper rifle but with better stats.
- Isharay - If you like the Widow, then you'll like the Isharay too. A single shot rifle that is best used on larger targets while your teammates are nearby (unless you can cloak).
- Lanat - Semi-automatic, but you can charge the projectiles for more damage. Effectively a poor man's Black Widow and should be used as such.
- Shadow - Giant laser that overheats instead of having to reload, use accordingly.
- Vanquisher - Semi-auto sniper rifle that hits particularly hard. Another poor man's Black Widow.
- M-37 Falcon - Grenade launcher that is powerful and fun to use, but its projectiles are not hitscan, so certain enemies may be hard to hit.
- L-89 Halberd - Semi-auto assault rifle, an improved version of the Mattock in every aspect.
- Revenant - Automatic assault rifle that's great for close to mid range encounters, but it is decidedly inaccurate.
- Sandstorm - Semi-auto assault rifle; see Halberd
- Sweeper - Burst fire assault rifle that requires no reloading, but it can overheat.
- Thokin - Projectiles have slight tracking capability. It functions like a comparatively weak version of the Needler from Halo.
- Equalizer - Shotgun that can overheat, but at least you don't have to reload.
- M-25 Hornet - Burst fire SMG, for when you want to use an assault rifle, but they're too heavy for your build.
- Scorpion - Pistol that fires sticky grenades that are reasonably effective against every enemy type. Fun for the whole family.
- Sidewinder - Relatively fast firing pistol for those who want to pretend that they're a space cowboy with a six shooter on their hip.
- Talon - Shotgun in pistol form.
- Hesh - Semi-automatic shotgun, as well-rounded as a shotgun can be.
- Scattershot - Relatively long range shotgun, though there are better options if you actually want to fight at long range. It can overheat instead of requiring a reload.
- Venom - Shotgun that fires explosive pellets. Exceptionally long range and useful for most non-power spammy builds.
"Open your wallet please"
- Black Widow - One of the best sniper rifles in the game, combining high damage with a semi-automatic rate of fire, though the magazine size leaves much to be desired.
- Naladen - It's like the Black Widow, but everything that you shoot explodes.
- N7 Valiant - A semi-automatic sniper rifle that is great for telling other people how close you were to getting better sniper rifles.
- P.A.W. - It's a laser but in assault rifle form.
- Soned - A minigun that is trying to pretend to be an assault rifle.
- N7 Valkyrie - Burst fire assault rifle with no exceptional strengths or weaknesses.
- N7 Eagle - One of the heaviest hitting pistols in the game but not much else.
- N7 Hurricane - One of the best SMGs in the game, though that's not really saying much.
- Rozerad - An SMG that fires faster the longer you hold down the trigger. Excellent for situations where you may as well be touching the enemy.
- Ushior - A pistol that is trying its hardest to be a sniper rifle and should be used as such. Best at mid-short range.
- N7 Crusader - Semi-auto shotgun with no particularly noteworthy characteristics aside from possessing fair range.
- Dhan - Semi-auto shotgun that fires slugs (in other words, a single projectile). More of a mid range weapon than anything else.
- N7 Piranha - Automatic shotgun for scenarios where you are touching an enemy and want to eviscerate it.
Cost vs. TimeNaturally, everyone wants Ultra-rare weapons, though the exceptionally high cost of the packs that are associated with them prohibits most people from getting them within a couple of days or even weeks. As Mass Effect: Andromeda's multiplayer menu suggests, you should really commit yourself to Bronze difficulty missions until you reach level 10, and even then, you may want to stay at Bronze difficulty until you get a suitably powerful gun that you like, even if you are planning to have a build that revolves around your abilities.
That being said, if you can fully complete a Silver-tier mission, which should be your default difficulty once you have the right weapons and are decently leveled up, you will get at least 20,000 credits for some 20 minutes of playtime, so it's not too impossible to get Expert packs, which cost 50,000 credits each. APEX missions in particular can be profitable, especially since you can see what kind of enemy you are fighting beforehand—Outlaws are the most desirable, given their relative ease. Five Silver completions, and you get a chance at an Ultra-Rare or two chances at something that can remain reasonably competitive at Gold. Is it grindy, especially once you consider how there are almost 100 unlockable characters, weapons, and mods, and you can receive duplicates of everything that you already unlocked? Yes, but at least you don't necessarily have to spend real money to get everything.
What loadout are you working on in Mass Effect: Andromeda's multiplayer? What do you think of its take on loot boxes? Let us know in the comments below!


Up-and-coming OAP, Tacha Akide faces backlash following a make-believe video where she poured from an expensive bottle of champagne, only for a cheap red wine to flow out.
The reality had taken to the image-sharing platform, Instagram to share a video of herself feeling happy, dancing and having a wine sip.
However, the controversial food critic, Opeyemi Famakin spotted a lie in the video and called out the reality on his page while remixing the video.
According to Opeyemi, the Dom Perignon champagne poured by Tacha wasn’t a genuine one due to its red wine content.
“Tacha, Why???? Abeg make Tacha no block me oh, I’m still a fan 😁,” Ope captioned the video.
Reactions as Tacha is exposed for pouring ‘red wine’ out of the bottle of ‘champagne’
zenmastergeorge said: “Not just any bottle of champagne but a bottle of Dom. Also if the budget was tight why now pour a cheaper bottle of sparkling brut in the glass instead of red wine. Also, wrong glass for champagne.”
hauwa_sugamama stated: “Jeeezzz is that a Dom perignon bottle?I can faint right now 😂😂😂 Tacha oooo …🤣.”
iambyno added: “Dom P don get Zobo Flavour Now….U are Late Bro..😌😌.”

RDA in 2012: Get Prepared
During two OCLC "Cataloging Efficiencies that Make a Difference" member meetings held on consecutive days at the Gutman Library, Harvard University and the Boston Public Library, two excellent RDA presentations were delivered. The presenters had been RDA testers in 2010 and brought a wealth of practical experience to the audience. The talks focused on where they had been but, more importantly, what all catalogers can do in 2012 to prepare for the RDA adoption in January, 2013.
Here are a few of their ideas to get started. First is to get out of the holding pattern. RDA is here to stay. Don't know where to turn? As one speaker advised, check out the list of RDA testers, select one that is comparable to your institution and contact them for questions or advice.
Second, training or overviews can be found for free on the Library of Congress website, including the training at Georgia Public Library Cataloging Summit last August. Also, OCLC's Good Practices for Great Outcomes portal has several free RDA presentations; check out Jeanne Piascik's RDA presentation from last February or Chris Cronin's presentation. And, the OCLC website has RDA-related resources in print and recordings, including a great starting point on the topic of FRBR.
Third, read up on the subject in the latest professional literature. An article on the experiences of RDA testers was recently published in a special issue of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly 49(7/8).
Fourth, as one speaker suggested, you don't need to jump into RDA all at once. Create an implementation plan that emphasizes testing it out for three months as a pilot.
After hearing the speakers talk about RDA in a common sense approach, most participants felt better about making the change. So start now to prepare for RDA.

Investor confidence in capital markets has slipped compared to last year because of concerns over leadership in the White House and trade tensions, according to an annual survey from a nonprofit that represents public-company auditors.
Seventy-four percent of investors felt confident in U.S. capital markets, according to the 2018 Main Street Investor Survey, which was conducted by the Washington-based Center for Audit Quality. That’s down 11 percentage points from the 2017 survey.
Of those expressing confidence, 19% agreed that the economy was growing and will continue to improve, while 16% were buoyed by strong U.S. stock performance.
Among poll-takers who expressed a lack of confidence, 38% blamed a “lack of leadership in the Trump administration,” while an additional 20% indicated a “fear of trade war or uncertainty around the status of free trade agreements,” according to the survey.
Eighty-one percent of all survey-takers, meanwhile, said they were confident in public company auditors, down 3 percentage points.
“Investors overall are confident in our system, they are confident in auditors and U.S. publicly-traded companies,” said Cindy Fornelli, executive director of the Center for Audit Quality.
The organization’s survey gathered the opinion of participants with at least $10,000 invested in capital markets. The poll was gathered online from 1,100 participants between Aug 20 and Aug. 21. The results have an margin of error of 3%.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he will impose fresh tariffs on about $200 billion in Chinese goods as part of his efforts to pressure Beijing to change its commercial practices. This round of tariffs target thousands of goods ranging from luggage to seafood, extending the impact to a broad swath of American consumers. China retaliated with tariffs on $60 billion of U.S. goods.
And while the U.S. stock market edged higher Tuesday — the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.71% — shrugging off the White House moves and Beijing’s response, bullish sentiment dipped recently among financial advisers surveyed in the latest weekly Investors Intelligence poll.
The percentage of financial advisers who are bullish on the market fell to 57.7% from 60% a week ago, while bearish sentiment ended slightly higher at 18.3% from 18.1% last week, according to Investors Intelligence.
Respondents in that poll cited concerns over the lack of growth in autos and housing sector and weakness in commodities.

Elizabeth: Religious Conflict
In the movie Elizabeth there were tons of conflicts. Some not so gravely big or dangerous, but some were very intense. The one I choose to write about is the religious conflict, which has a lot of aspects to it. Elizabeth was a protestant, but strongly believed that it didn't matter which religion a person chose to have. She believed that there was one God no matter what. One of her problems was that her counselors mostly were Catholic, and they didn't like her way of thinking.
She passed the Act of Uniformity, to unify the Anglican Church. This was to a lot of protest from the bishops surrounding her. The Church of Rome reacted strongly to this act, calling for justice. Since she was legitimate neither in the Protestant or the Catholic Church, they soon plotted against her. The Romans allied themselves with the Duke of Norfolk, and the Spanish king.
The Pope wrote a declaration about Elizabeth, that she was the heretic heir to the throne and that she should be overthrown. The plan was to marry the Duke of Norfolk to the Mary of Scots, take over the throne and to reinstate the Catholic Church in England. Before Elizabeth, her half-sister Bloody Mary had ruled in the Catholic faith. Mary persecuted the Protestants and they were burned publicly. Elizabeth figured out with help from her ally, Sir Francis Walsingham, that the Duke of Norfolk and the Romans planned to assassinate her. Elizabeth shortly took action and imprisoned Mary, beheaded the Duke, tortured John Ballard who was a Roman spy, and assassinated all her enemies who participated in the plot.

Brooks treated the seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a way greatly more full and suggestive than in the literature of the present day.
Brooks lists seven reasons for writing this book. The first reason is enough…Brooks says, “Satan hath a greater influence upon men, and higher advantages over them than they think he hath, and the knowledge of his high advantage is the highway to disappoint him, and to render the soul strong in resisting, and happy in conquering.
Table of Contents:
- The Proof of the Point: Satan’s Devices to Draw the Soul to Sin (12 devices and their remedies)
- Satan’s Devices to Keep Souls From Holy Duties, to Hinder Souls in Holy Services, to Keep Them off From Religious Performances (8 devices and their remedies)
- Satan’s Devices to Keep Saints in a Sad, Doubting, Questioning and Uncomfortable Condition (8 devices and their remedies)
- Satan’s Devices to Destroy and Ensnare all Sorts and Ranks of Men in the World (5 devices and their remedies)
- Touching Five More of Satan’s Devices
- Seven Characters of False Teachers Six Propositions Concerning Satan and His Devices
- Conclusion – Chiefly, Ten Special Helps and Rules Against Satan’s Devices
Thomas Brooks (1608-1680) entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge, in 1625. He was licensed as a preacher of the gospel by 1640. After the Civil War, Brooks became minister at Thomas Apostle’s, London, and was sufficiently renowned to be chosen as preacher before the House of Commons in 1648. In 1662 he fell victim to the notorious Act of Uniformity, but he appears to have remained in his parish and to have preached the Word as opportunity offered. He went home to the Lord in 1680.

Most of us dog owners will need to transport our dog(s) in a car at some point.
Whether it’s because you don’t want to leave your dog home alone while you run errands or just once in a while to go to the vet, your dog will probably need to go in the car at least occasionally.
The question, in that case, is how to transport your dog in a car safely.
We humans take extra precautions to keep ourselves safe in the car such as wearing seat belts and making sure we have working air bags installed.
But dogs are more susceptible to factors such as heat inside vehicles, and the recommendations for keeping our canine friends safe in case of accidents are less well-known.
In this brief guide, we’ll be discussing what you can do as a dog owner to keep your dog safe during transport in the car.
Table of Contents:
Keeping Your Dog Safe During Car Travel
1. Use A Pet Seatbelt
Just as people need to wear seatbelts in the car in case of a car accident, pets including dogs should always wear seatbelts in the car.
Many people think that putting their dog in the trunk of their car with a grate to separate them from the rest of the vehicle will provide protection.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. These grates are only designed to stop your dog from getting into the main body of the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, the grate may protect you by stopping your dog from flying into you from behind, but your dog could still be severely injured or worse.
You will need to invest in a pet seatbelt specifically rather than trying to make the seatbelts already built into your car work for your dog.
The likelihood is that your existing car seatbelts are not designed for dogs.
There’s a reason children need to have car seats in order to wear seatbelts safely in the car – they’re smaller than the average person, so a seatbelt can’t work effectively without that support.
There are many companies providing pet seat belts these days, so you should be able to find one that works for your dog’s measurements.
- STRONG SECURITY: This car vest harness is specially designed for preventing pet dog running around in the car to distract the driver’s attention and further protecting dog's safety during the during time.
- EASY TO USE: After the pet wears it, hook one end of the safety belt with it and insert the other end into the safety belt socket. Equipped with a carabiner to better resolve the problem pf buckle’s compatibility, universal fit for the most of car models.
- SOFT & COMFORTABLE: This vest harness is made of an extremely strong Oxford fabric (Polyester), filled with soft sponge, and lining with an elastic mesh cloth to make dogs feel soft and comfortable.
- STABLE STRUCTURE: X-shaped structure harness to allow your dog happier to wear it, great stability will protect pet from injury in case of emergency.
- EXQUISITE WORKMANSHIP: The edges treated with exquisite stitching workmanship, and come with a D-ring to make you easy to install a strap on it, very convenient for using. You can enjoy its excellent quality.
2. Consider Crash-Tested Harnesses, Carriers And Crates
You might also have your dog wear a safety harness in the car, or if you’re taking them to the vet, you might be transporting them in a crate or a carrier.
Crates and carriers should be used in conjunction with seatbelts in case of an accident. The carrier should have a handle which you can use to thread the seatbelt through.
Make sure that any safety products you use to carry or restrain your dog in the car are crash-tested.
Unfortunately, there’s no legal requirement for car safety products designed for pets to be crash-tested, so you can’t just rely on this being the case.
Always check the information provided on the manufacturer’s website to be safe.
3. Don’t Allow Heads Through Windows
Many people think that allowing their dog to stick their head out of the window during a car ride is a kind thing to do because it stops them from overheating and provides them with more entertainment.
However, please don’t let your dog put their head through the car window.
Allowing your dog to put their head through the window of a moving car leaves them vulnerable to potentially very serious injuries or even fatal accidents.
You may be able to control your own driving for the most part, but accidents can happen to anyone, and besides that, you have no control about what drivers in lanes on either side of you are doing.
All it takes is for a driver in the next lane to get too close or for you to not notice a branch sticking into the road for something awful to happen.
While cracking the windows in your car may help to keep the car cool in warm weather, which is important for your dog’s health and safety, your canine companion should never be able to get their head through an open window while the car is moving.
If you need to open your window enough that they could get their head through, keep your dog either strapped in on the other side of the car or have them sit in a crate or carrier.
4. Check Car Temperature
Before you set off on a car ride with your dog, always check the temperature inside the vehicle. Cars are essentially ovens in hot weather, and the inside of your car may be much warmer than the temperature outside.
If the inside of your car is at or above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, it will likely be too hot for your dog in 10 minutes or less.
Cracking the windows won’t cool the car down enough to keep them safe and comfortable, and even air conditioning may not be sufficiently effective.
In these situations, it’s best not to bring your dog in the car at all, and certainly don’t leave your dog unsupervised in the car at any point.
If you absolutely have to take your dog in the car while it’s hot, cover windows with shades to block out sunlight and bring a damp towel to help cool down your dog.
Crack the windows and run the air conditioning at the same time.
5. Invest in Cooling Aids
Even if your car isn’t in the dangerously hot range for dogs, you should still get some cooling aids in case you need them.
Even just a warm car can become uncomfortable for a dog quickly, and dehydration and heat stroke can set in alarmingly fast.
We recommend buying a cooling mat so that your dog can have some relief from warm temperatures during car rides.
- THE ORIGINAL SELF COOLING GEL PAD FOR DOGS – The Green Pet Shop pressure-activated cooling pet mat provides chilled relief for your dogs and cats. It's the perfect solution if your pet struggles to stay cool and comfortable in the summer heat
- IT'S AUTOMATIC – This self-cooling pad for dogs works without water, electricity or refrigeration. The patented gel formula automatically recharges after 15-20 minutes of non-use. This dog cool pad is a must-have item if your home doesn't have air conditioning
- PERFECT FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS – Lay the cooling pads for pets where your furry friend likes to relax. Once they lay on the pad, it goes to work immediately. Cool to the touch, the chilled sensation offers immediate relief. It's ideal for senior animals or pets with medical conditions
- MULTI-USE AND PORTABLE – Use it on the floor, sofa, or place it in your pet's crate, bed or kennel. The cooling pads are lightweight and folds effortlessly, ideal for travel. Clean with a damp cloth as needed
- LARGE DOG COOLING PAD – This pet cooling gel mat measures 23.6 x 35 inches, for large dogs weighing between 45 - 80 lbs. Other sizes are available. Do not leave in direct sunlight as this will affect the performance of the cool pad
6. Prioritize Hydration
Make sure that your dog is well-hydrated before they even get in the car.
This will help them to withstand warmer temperatures for a little longer without being adversely affected, although you should still avoid putting your dog in the car if it’s within the uncomfortable range.
Additionally, make sure you have water available for your dog to drink in the car.
Water bowls can easily spill over in the car, so it may be a good idea to freeze the water before you set off to avoid this.
Additionally, keep a large bottle of cool water in the car in case you need to top up the bowl.
Actively encourage your dog to drink water before and during car rides on hot days to keep them as hydrated as possible.
The safest way to transport a dog in the car is using a pet seat belt to keep them held securely in their seat (see also ‘The Best Cat Car Seats For Your Pet‘).
You may also want to use a crash-tested safety harness. Make sure that crates and carriers are also crash-tested and held in place with a seatbelt.
Keep windows cracked in the car in warm weather, but never let your dog stick their head out.
Use air conditioning and bring plenty of water and cooling aids when it’s hot, but avoid taking your dog in the car at all if the interior temperature of the vehicle is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or more.

It was the middle of the First World War, and the Germans were engaged in a highly destructive campaign against the British Navy. By the spring of 1917, German submarines were successfully sinking as many as eight British ships a day, crippling Britain’s defenses. A solution was urgently needed.
A dazzling suggestion came from an unlikely source: artist Norman Wilkinson, renowned for his marine paintings and illustrations. His idea was to paint Britain’s naval fleet with bright, disorientating shapes, so that the enemy would be unable to calculate the type, size, scale, speed, direction and distance of the ship in their sights. The authorities were so convinced by Wilkinson’s idea, they ‘dazzled’ 2,300 ships through the course of WW1. More>>>

Nature has a way of surviving by adapting and over-coming challenges and it does it without even thinking, it changes naturally. Humans can use nature’s survival techniques to solve our current resource scarcities and climate devastations by developing technologically-advanced, nature-based resolutions. People like Josh Smith from Reno, Nevada, and entrepreneurs from around the world have begun building the path to a sustainable future.
The article, “Trending: Spiders, Butterfly Wings Inspire New Solutions for Urban Ag, Renewables,” gives several examples of groups around the globe already creating environmental solutions.
Finalists of the Ray C. Anderson Foundation Ray of Hope Prize copied nature’s tricks including; Nexloop’s AquaWeb, motivated by spider web moisture collection, plants that horde water, and mushrooms that release moisture, developed a solution to urban water shortage; Windchill, mimicking thermal regulation found in animals, invented a power-free refrigerator; and Evolution’s Solutions, inspired by bacteria filtration, recycled food waste nutrients for organic farming.
In addition, activities like the Biomimicry Accelerator program, a year-long sustainability mentor project and, the Biomimicry Global Design Challenge, both serve as gateways to financial and commercial support for companies trying to solve conservational issues.
One prototype about to hit the market in Reno, Nevada is Josh Smith’s HomeGrown smart greenhouses. These light-weight yet astounding durable aluminum greenhouses assemble in minutes with section-size pieces to expand and fit any living situation.

Enter below to win one of three copies of Charlotte Hubbard’s A Mother’s Love!
Faith, tenderness, security—there’s nothing a mother won’t give. Now beloved author Charlotte Hubbard brings you an unforgettable tale of hope, courage, discovery…and the most precious gift of all.
For widow Rose Raber, it’s been a year of tragic loss and difficult decisions. She thought providing for her young daughter was the greatest challenge she faced. Until her dying mother revealed that Rose was adopted—and her birth mother is someone with much to lose if the secret comes out. As Rose struggles to reconcile the truth with her faith—and her troubling curiosity—outgoing newcomer Matthias Wagler is another surprise she didn’t expect. His optimism and easy understanding inspires her. And his prospective partnership with wealthy deacon Saul Hartzler promises a possible new life for them—together. But with this second chance comes yet another revelation for all involved.
When Saul’s wife unexpectedly turns up at Rose’s new job, their bond as mother and daughter is instant and unmistakable. And it isn’t long before an unforgiving Saul discovers the truth, threatening Matthias’s livelihood and Rose’s future. Now with more than just their happiness at stake, Rose and Matthias must find the strength and courage to stand strong—and trust God’s enduring miracles of motherhood, forgiveness, and love.
Charlotte Hubbard sold her first historical romance in 1990, and she’s been a slave to her overactive imagination ever since. As she writes, her stories invariably take on a life of their own, different from the way she proposed them: unforeseen characters and plot twists come along, and they keep her guessing right along with her readers!
Charlotte has lived in the Midwest most of her life. When she’s not writing, she loves touring historic homes, trying new recipes, crocheting, and playing with her Border Collie, Ramona. She’s a Presbyterian deacon, sings in her church choir, and plays in the percussion ensemble. She’s married to a fine man who—bless him—has never once suggested she get a real job!

James Baisden’s Broadway Nights—Mas on the Avenue is a delightful collection of Trini reminiscences strung together as a coherent narrative not unlike long-standing, highly-acclaimed works of the kind.
There is abundant evidence of what the author proposes to be a judicious mix of sheer fiction, fantasy, and “old stylised memories” that “gel” into what indeed turns out to be what Baisden hopes to be “an enjoyable, thought-provoking anthology of short stories.” Readers won’t be disappointed.
In her foreword, educationist Kathleen Robinson captures the bitter-sweet nature of Baisden’s nostalgia as “lamentation; bemoaning a spatial and temporal loss of essence and sentience” even as there are instances of what she accurately calls “chest-ripping humour.”
Yet, the author rarely descends into mawkish sentimentality nor does he rely on the unduly salacious to extract hearty laughter.
For sure, Baisden is acutely aware of sound technique to balance the emotional scales. His introductory chapter, for instance, employs a descriptive wordiness recognised by some as emblematic of some of VS Naipaul’s later works.
By the time you get to The Little Tobago Initiation and, later, to Highlow’s Cricket Bat, there is greater economy and urgency in the language. “I first-bat! I first-bat!” opens the Highlow story, leading to an unexpected end featuring the likes of Ma Carrington, the preacher-woman. There are those who would be prone to break a rib off a distant, similar memory, and others simply because the story is just so damn funny.
Contrastingly, Walking Alone in the Dark brings to the table a multi-layered story capable of being metaphorically read as both an exploration of the human condition and as an attempt at addressing internal emotional conflict.
Walkalone, in a sense, becomes an “Everyman” who engages the Avenue as both an insider and an outsider. “He didn’t often socialise on the Avenue but seemed to have tacitly reserved the right to do so whenever he wished,” appears to also be the author’s prerogative throughout the collection.
Few chapters but The Many and Varied Faces to introduce you to some of Baisden’s more colourful and fanciful characters. And who, with a background in community life in T&T in the 1970s and 1980s, would not recognise the best of them?
Chanellor, for instance, is a “brawny six-footer, with bushy beard and moustache, who sat at the Library Corner all day, blowing his trumpet.” And the hopeless stereotyped “Chinese gentleman”, Ching Maka Hai who cussed the jeering children in his language.
There’s also Sam Callam, a bottle collector, who helped out on Sundays at church, and Twirler, the “old Indian drifter” with a romantic past. And the even “madder” Laughing Looney.
Baby Doll is the eccentric female vagrant (who appeared to have had much better days as a potential catch) who danced the night away “cheek to cheek, tile by tile” with out-of-towner Lanky, much to his eventual shame.
Broadway Nights is defined by the strength of both Baisden’s well-developed central and marginal characters, resident within a physical community for which the author spares no descriptive expense.
The Many and Varied Faces puts this skill to the test, new people alongside ubiquitous regulars such as Ranee, Ma Carrington, Seddy, Snowflake, Safee and others. Read the book and see them unveiled.
This is a highly commendable work that can find pride of place alongside other solid nostalgic Caribbean reads.
