#81 Clive Phillipps-Wolley
January 26th, 2016
LOCATION: The Grange, 3443 Drinkwater Road (originally Norcross Road), Duncan. Between Cowichan Valley Highway and Somenos Road.
The only B.C. writer to be knighted, Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley, owned this hunting lodge-styled home that was designed by renowned architect Samuel Maclure in 1911. Phillipps-Wolley took possession in 1912 and was buried in Duncan in the St. Peter’s Anglican Church cemetery in 1918. At the time of his death, Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley’s estate was valued at $174,000. Clive Drive in Victoria, once the access road to his large home called Woodhall, is named after him.
With Kiplingesque bravado, Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley was a great white hunter who epitomizes an era of British Columbian literature that portrayed B.C. as a rough Eden that only required English pluck and perseverance to be tamed.
Born Edward Clive Oldnall Long Phillips in 1853 in Dorset, England, Phillipps-Wolley was a distant relative of Lord Robert Clive, knighted for his military and administrative roles during the subjugation of Bengal in the 18th century. As Phillips, he successfully petitioned for the inheritance of his great-grandfather’s estate, dropped the first name Edward in favour of Clive, changed his last name to Phillipps-Wolley, took up the study of law, married 16-year-old Janie Fenwick, taught musketry and then managed to practise law for less than a year.
In 1881, he published Sport in the Crimea and Caucasus, based on his time hunting in Russia. Trottings of a Tenderfoot: A Visit to the Columbian Fiords (1888) is mostly about his two-month hunting trip to B.C., mainly on Vancouver Island. “I came across no place in America in which I would be so content to stay as in Victoria,” he wrote. He returned in 1886 on a game hunting expedition, described in A Sportsman’s Eden (1888), after which he settled in Victoria in 1890. “You could not pay me to come back to the old country,” he said in an interview with the London Mining Journal.
While it’s tempting to suggest Phillipps-Wolley might be dubbed ‘the first British Columbia novelist’ for his hastily written novel about a remittance man on Vancouver Island, One of the Broken Brigade (1897), it was published five years after Morley Roberts’ The Mate of the Vancouver (1892).
Phillipps-Wolley also wrote The Chicamon Stone (1900), a novel that includes a heroic Tahltan named Siyah Joe who knows the secret location of gold on McDame Creek. (Chicamon means gold.)
Phillipps-Wolley had some commercial success with Gold, Gold in Cariboo! (1894), a young adult novel, set in 1862, warning against the folly of gold fever, and proved himself popular as a public speaker, although he repeatedly failed in his attempts to gain election as a politician.
As a provincial sanitary inspector, he described Nelson as a disaster area and criticized B.C.’s Chinese as living cheaply in unsanitary conditions to compete in the labour market. “Wherever I have been in British Columbia I have found Chinamen living like sewer rats, a grave danger to white men’s health.” He concluded, “Nanaimo Chinatown can be cured in only one way—by fire.” He equally despised Americans. “Canada’s danger is a moral, not a physical one,” he decreed. “If you should allow your newspapers to draw their news, as they copy their style, from the Yankees, annexation will soon follow.”
Warning of an expanding German navy, Phillipps-Wolley began urging Canada to build warships for England in 1908. At his own expense, he published a pamphlet containing his speeches, entitled The Canadian Naval Question. Phillipps-Wolley’s son Clive Jr. was killed as a young soldier in 1914, days after England declared war on Germany. Phillipps-Wolley was knighted in 1915. Two years later he dedicated the poems in Songs from a Young Man’s Land to his dead son.
Phillipps-Wolley died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1918 and was buried in the St. Peter’s Anglican Church cemetery in Duncan.
Not very many British Columbia writers have been knighted. In fact, there is probably only one–Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley. He was also one of the first novelists of British Columbia [preceded by Morley Roberts], publishing a young adult novel set in the Cariboo in 1894, as well as One of the Broken Brigade (1897), a novel about a remittance man in Victoria and the Shawnigan Lake area. The former was his bestselling book, warning against the folly of gold fever. The latter is mostly disregarded as a hastily-written, unconvincing story, rife with the author’s anti-Semitism.
Clive Phillipps-Wolley was the classic Anglophile with Kiplingesque bravado and racist prejudices, a great white hunter who epitomizes an era of early B.C. literature that viewed B.C. as a rough Eden that only required English pluck and perseverance to be tamed.
He was a writer, game hunter and non-practicing lawyer who first came to British Columbia in 1884 via the Northern Pacific Railroad. He returned in 1886 on a game hunting expedition, described in A Sportsman’s Eden (1888), after which he settled in Victoria in 1890. Although he loved B.C.’s lakes, rivers and forests, he was a quintessential Englishman who never thought of B.C. as anything but a colony.
He has the literary distinction of writing one of the first novels of British Columbia to prominently feature an Aboriginal character. With detailed descriptions of B.C.’s northern coast, Alaska, the upper Stikine River and the Cassiar area, The Chicamon Stone (1900) has a heroic Tahltan Aboriginal named ‘Siyah Joe’ as its protagonist. He knows the secret location of gold on McDame Creek. Chicamon means gold. Praised by the English press, The Chicamon Stone conveys Phillipps-Wolley’s respect for animals. “Half a dozen worn-out horses, standing freezing in the raw, morning air. They were to be pitied… no one would buy them, and hay was $100 per ton. The time for dogs was coming—-dogs who could drag sleighs over snow—-and horses were of no further value. So they were only waiting to be shot, and would be lucky if some merciful man took the trouble to shoot them before they starved. This was one of the most cruel features of the Klondike rush in 1898.”
Clive Phillipps-Wolley was born as Edward Clive Oldnall Long Phillips on April 3, 1853 in Wimborne, Dorset, England. Although he was merely the son of a public school master in a village, his family were distant relatives of Lord Robert Clive, knighted for his military and administrative roles during the subjugation of Bengal in the 18th century. Phillipps-Wolley’s father has been born in India. When Edward Clive Phillipps successfully petitioned for the inheritance of his great-grandfather’s estate, he dropped the first name Edward in favour of Clive and changed his last name to Phillipps-Wolley, to resurrect the more prestigious Wolley name. Clive Phillipps-Wolley joined a country club, took up the study of law and married 16-year-old Janie Fenwick. He taught musketry and practiced law for less than a year before turning to writing.
In 1881, he published Sport in the Crimea and Caucasus, based on his time hunting in Russia. Phillipps-Wolley described the Kerch area as having a ‘delicious climate’ and ‘any quantity of game’. He recalled ‘skating with the fair ladies of Kerch on the rink by the jetty.’ The young Phillipps-Wolley took on a wrestler from Caucasus, who threw him to the mat twice. Savage Svanetia, published in two volumes in 1883, detailed his journey through the Caucasus from the Black Sea to Baku in 1881. ‘A neatly worded advertisement had tempted me to join an expedition to the North Pole,’ he said. The hunting trip for polar bears, walrus, reindeer and salmon was planned for 17 days, but the expedition was turned back by ice.
Trottings of a Tenderfoot: A Visit to the Columbian Fiords, his third work, was published in 1888. Despite its title, the account was mostly about his two-month hunting trip to B.C., mainly on Vancouver Island. ‘I came across no place in America in which I would be so content to stay as in Victoria,’ he wrote. In an adventure novel written ten years later, he gave further praise. ‘The air, saturated with spring sunshine, was almost too soft and sweet to be wholesome for man. There was a languor in it which dulled the appetite for work; merely to live was happiness enough; effort seemed folly, and if man could have been found with energy enough to pray, he would have prayed only that no change might come to him, that the gleam of the blue waters of the straits and the diamond brightness of the distant snow-peaks might remain his for ever.’
Phillipps-Wolley brought his wife Janie to Oak Bay, Victoria in 1890, along with their four children, Maude, Margaret, Clive Jr. and Judith. Architect William Ridgeway Wilson was commissioned to build an Elizabethan Tudor home, which has since been demolished. ‘You could not pay me to come back to the old country,’ he said in an interview with the London Mining Journal, ‘where one only hears of falling rents and the damnable results of party politics gone mad.’ He publicized the Kootenay mines on visits to England to encourage his countrymen to invest ahead of the Americans, who were mining in nearby Montana. In 1892, there were already more than 2,000 Montana miners prospecting in the Kootenays. Rudyard Kipling would have agreed wholeheartedly with Phillipps-Wolley who wrote: “Canada’s danger is a moral, not a physical one. If you should allow your newspapers to draw their news, as they copy their style, from the Yankees, annexation will soon follow.”
A spokesman on behalf of Russia, he once gave a speech at the Victoria Theatre in 1892 on ‘Russia and the Russians.’ His plea was for food relief, as Russia was suffering through a period of famine.
Phillipps-Wolley first turned to fiction in 1888 with My Soldier’s Keeper. His second novel Snap (1890) is the adventure of four English schoolboys in the U.S. and Canadian west, including a ballooning excursion. Gold, Gold in Cariboo! (1894) is a young-adult novel set in 1862, when gold fever moved from the Fraser River to the Cariboo. The Queensberry Cup (1895), set in an English boarding school called ‘Fernhall’, is likely based on Rossall, a school on the Irish Sea coast of Lancashire. The story’s secondary theme is boxing, a subject Phillipps-Wolley was familiar with, having been successful in the ring at Rossall. One of the Broken Brigade (1987) is about a remittance man in Victoria and the Shawnigan Lake area.
Despite being a well-known hunting advocate, Phillipps-Wolley eventually gave up hunting in favour of photography. ‘The man who photographs a live beast in his native haunt… is spared the butcher’s work and that regret which we try to ignore when we have rolled over a beast in many things better than ourselves.’ The biggest admirers of Phillipps-Wolley’s writing were fellow hunters. His writing sometimes had the effect of luring young men to B.C. in search of hunting and adventure. He contributed articles to two volumes entitled Big Game Shooting, for which he was credited as author, and for which he earned praise from American president Theodore Roosevelt. The first volume concerns hunting in South Africa; the second volume concerns hunting in the Caucasus, Scandinavia, India and North America. According to The Times, Roosevelt regarded Phillipps-Wolley as ‘a kindred spirit possessing much of his own versatility, predilections and strenuousness.’ Phillipps-Wolley also worked as a provincial sanitary inspector, appointed through connections rather than relevant experience. Hired at a salary of $1,500 a year, he investigated settlements in Revelstoke, Rossland, New Denver and Trail. He described Nelson as a disaster area, where ‘Pigs perambulated the streets; cows wandered up the ravine in which the sewer leaked out its filth; and the local hospital had a cesspit from which an open cut carried the overflow down the hill.’
He criticized B.C.’s Chinese population as unsanitary, living cheaply to compete in the labour market. ‘Wherever I have been in British Columbia I have found Chinamen living like sewer rats, a grave danger to white men’s health.’ The worst health-code violation, according to Phillipps-Wolley, was a Chinese shanty in Nanaimo. ‘Men and dogs live under one roof in a densely-crowded street and blood stains, hog bristles… as well as the fresh leg of a pig, attested to the fact that swine are reared, slaughtered and sold as pork under the same roof as that under which Yick Hong and his household live.’ Phillipps-Wolley concluded, ‘Nanaimo Chinatown can be cured in only one way—-by fire.’
Phillipps-Wolley tried his hand at politics, first writing Ottawa dispatches for the Victoria Times Colonist, then running for a cabinet seat in the 1900 election on Vancouver Island. His platform was creating harmony between capital and labour; increasing B.C. representation in Ottawa; getting more money for the province from the federal government; and controlling the influx of Chinese labourers. He lost in 1900, and again in the 1904 election. Despite his losses, he continued to campaign for others.
In 1900 he and his family left their Oak Bay home and bought the unoccupied Piers Island off the northern tip of the Saanich Peninsula. He put the island up for sale for $20,000 in 1909, and bought an estate at Cowichan Bay, near Duncan. Less than three years later, he had a house built at Somenos, north of Duncan, only a few miles away. Phillipps-Wolley was also a poet, with readership in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. He wrote rhyming descriptions of pioneer life. Songs of an English Esau (wandering hunter) was published in 1902 and Songs from a Young Man’s Land was published in 1917. He donated 400 copies of Esau, plus some money from sales, to the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria in 1906.
Warning of an expanding German navy, Phillipps-Wolley began urging Canada to build warships for England in 1908. He joined the Navy League in 1910, and toured Ontario to advocate his cause. At his own expense, he published a 70-page pamphlet containing his speeches, entitled The Canadian Naval Question. Phillipps-Wolley’s son Clive Jr. was killed in 1914, days after England declared war on Germany. Clive Jr. had been on board the H.M.S. Hogue, which was torpedoed and sunk with the H.M.S. Cressy and the H.M.S. Aboukir by the German submarine U-9, in one of Britain’s first major losses at sea. For his work with the Navy League and his consistent support of British values, Phillipps-Wolley was knighted, and became Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley in 1915. Two years later he dedicated Songs from a Young Man’s Land to his dead son. The poems were about his longing to serve in the war, despite his deteriorating health.
On July 8, 1918, at the age of 65, Phillipps-Wolley died of a cerebral haemorrhage.
The hyphenated Phillipps-Wolley was the 19th century precursor to the hyphenated, 20th century Roderick Haig-Brown, a fellow outdoorsman whose enlightened environmentalism sprang from the British nature writing of Phillipps-Wolley’s robust, manly era.

Black Jack Residents Cried Fowl, New Ordinance Will Allow Chicken
The City of Black Jack City Council recently passed Ordinance #1045, which allows residents to keep fowl on their property pursuant to certain regulations. The Mayor and City Council worked with the residents to amend a 10- year-old ordinance.

Natural, environmentally-friendly living is catching hold among legions of individuals, as is a preference for organic produce. It makes sense that people who make the choice to live this way can benefit from organic horticulture. This article provides several useful tips on organic gardening that can help.
Insects and various garden pests can be avoided by making your soil healthy. If you are producing healthy plants, they will be stronger and better able to resist bugs and diseases. Healthy, rich soil with fewer chemicals will increase the yield of your plants, and reduce accumulated salts.
When you grow veggies in a garden, you need to ensure they get at least six hours of good sunlight each day. Most vegetables require this amount of sun in order to grow properly and at a quicker pace. Some flowers have the same requirement for growth.
Come up with a gardening plan before planting anything. This helps you remember where each plant was planted before they begin to sprout. This is important, because different plants require different care.
Protect your tender deciduous shrubs. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees, you should consider protecting them, especially if they do best in warm environments. Tie the tops together, and loosely cover the wigwam with a blanket or sheet. This is more effective than putting plastic on the plant, it will let the air flow.
Use horticulture to relax. There are a wide variety of things you can do to release stress and relax. Gardening is a relatively easy way to pursue this goal. It does however require a small investment of money but has tremendous returns. Growing your own garden brings a feeling of tranquility and joy to you.
To deter meddlesome dogs from destroying your garden, you should use heavily scented substances around the perimeter. You can even use perfume! This will mask any scents that might attract your dog and make your garden less interesting to him.
If you are interested in sustainable organic horticulture, consider keeping part of your property undeveloped so that wildlife can flourish there. One side effect of this is that where animals thrive, so do birds and insects that help nurture and pollinate plants, which will increase the quality of your garden.
Do not be in a rush when you plant your seeds. Begin by adding moisture to the dirt. Then, distribute the seeds evenly, and see to it that they have space to grow. You should bury your seeds deep enough, usually three times their size. Make sure you are not burying the seeds that need light to grow.
Coffee grounds are a good addition to your soil. The grounds contain essential nitrogen, which will benefit your plants in many ways. This nutrient is often lacking in home gardens, and adding it will give you taller plants that bloom beautifully.
Increase the value of your property! You can get a great return on investment from landscaping. Some plant investments can raise your resale value by 20% or more. Select plants that will adapt well to your regional area and require minimum maintenance.
Try using a beer trap to naturally eradicate slugs from your organic garden. Dig a hole just deep enough for a glass jar to be placed in it while the jar still has its rim in line with the surface of the ground. Pour beer into the container to within an inch of the jar lip. Beer attracts slugs and then they’ll get stuck in the jar.
By obtaining a greater number of organic gardening ideas, you will soon find the process to be increasingly effortless. Keep in mind that the advice you’ve read is only the beginning.

“I share a moment of connection with an old woman sitting in an ancient temple praying for my soul and I am certain I have witnessed a glimpse of enlightenment.”
– Peter Herzog
In his ongoing quest to document the power and beauty of this world, Peter travels through Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.
On this journey, he meets locals who share their memories of wartime and of the ongoing impact of losing a quarter of your nation, approximately two million people just two generations ago. Their photographs are juxtaposed against those of the now youthful populace of Cambodia.
Peter captures the lush beauty of the countryside, the daily struggle against overwhelming poverty, and the wary expression in the eyes of children. In another moment, bright smiles emerge filled with curiosity, warmth and humor.
Witnessing daily life and religious practices performed in both lavish ceremonies and humble day-to-day action, what emerges as ever-present is deep spirituality, the Buddha, and the infusion of Buddhism across all aspects of life in this small corner of the Asian continent.

Amelia Earhart’s solo flight across the Atlantic
On May 22, 1932 Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Londonderry in Northern Ireland. In her red Lockheed Vega, the flight which lasted 14 hours was dogged by storms and icing problems which had to be overcome without an altimeter, which ceased to function halfway through the flight.
This brief entry from her flight log was the inspiration for this painting. "Two hours after I left the moon came up over a field of little, scattered, woolly clouds. Those little woolly clouds grew compact and finally covered the ocean with their soft whiteness."
A painting that has been on my ’to do list’ for the past couple of years. Not just because I have always been fond of the Lockheed Vega but I have always admired the courage of the pioneering aviators of the twenties and thirties.

Warts and All Theatre, a leading cutting-edge theatre company, that enables everyone to speak their truth, has been unveiled as Delapré Abbey’s new resident theatre company.
Over a three-year period, Warts and All Theatre will create dynamic programmes that will unite young people from all walks of life. Together they will perform, direct and engage in life-changing extraordinary theatre; loud productions on the Abbey’s lawns, thought-provoking young actor workshops, not-your-average holiday programmes, and energetic activities for older generations and young families.
As part of its residency, from September, Warts and All Theatre will also move into offices tucked inside the 12th-century Northampton abbey, creating a new headquarters.
Richard Clinton, Chief Executive of Delapré Abbey, said: “We are very excited to announce this partnership, which signifies and symbolises our vision for the Abbey – to serve our communities by providing accessible and relevant culture and heritage for all.
“We are based in the Delapré and Far Cotton area of Northampton, where there are high levels of deprivation and inequality, so Warts and All Theatre’s focus on communities, regardless of their background and status, and its new ‘Pay On Your Terms’ model aligns perfectly with the Abbey.”
Christopher Elmer-Gorry, Artistic and Executive Director of Warts and All Theatre, added: “Warts and All Theatre is all about making extraordinary theatre in unexpected places with everyone. We don’t discriminate, we give everyone a voice and a chance, and we want everyone to speak their truth. That’s why this partnership with Delapré Abbey makes sense. It will give us a unique base to lead a radical programme that will provoke, champion diversity, and importantly, give young people from across our local communities an environment to thrive.
“Our new ‘Pay On Your Terms’ payment plan that we are introducing from September, will now also give everyone the chance to join one of our programmes, regardless of their circumstances. By working in partnership with local schools and Delapré Abbey, we hope to extend our programmes, and reach as many people as possible in the coming months.”
Participants of Warts and All Theatre programmes are also excited.
Shawne Holland, 18 from Far Cotton said: “Delapré Abbey is a beautiful space in the community. Warts and All Theatre using the space will attract young people, meaning they get to work in and appreciate the Abbey if they haven’t before.”
Destiny Sanyaolu, 20 from Kingsley said: “I’m so excited. Finally, we will have a space of our own with no interruptions or limitations, which feels like a sign that we as a group will be capable of doing so much more than before. This change is a sign of freedom, especially after the trying times we have had in 2020; a reminder that there are people looking out for us and wanting the best for us.”
Over the past five months, Warts and All Theatre has been running online masterclasses with some of the leading lights in the theatre world such as Adrian Lester, Benjamin Zephaniah, Sally Cookson, Rob Brydon and Julie Walters, as well as virtual co-created plays and online acting training sessions. These programmes have meant that young people have continued to have the chance to share their experiences and express themselves during lockdown.
From September, Warts and All Theatre will be launching a new series of programmes including their already popular Young Actors sessions for Young People aged 4-21, a youth social action group funded through Northamptonshire Community Foundation’s #IWill fund, and a new wellbeing programme for young families and older people, which aims to increase local residents’ sense of belonging through therapeutic arts activities. This wellbeing strand of work builds on the company’s successful programme delivered online during COVID-19.
Christopher continues: “Both organisations are passionate about the Abbey becoming a home for the community to thrive, and we both believe that the new wellbeing programme will provide opportunities to combat social isolation for some of the most vulnerable who are on the Abbey’s doorstep.”
Warts and All Theatre are now recruiting for their activities at the Abbey and everyone can register their interest by visiting https://www.wartsandalltheatre.co.uk/interest

Being a senior in senior high school, IвЂ™ve been fortunate to master the importance of healthier relationships within my life. We have additionally discovered that it’s important for moms and dads to own open lines of communication using their daughters in regards to the significance of relationships. Correspondence is vital to the success of one’s relationship together with your child. In reality, centering on available interaction can lead to a strong foundation for your daughterвЂ™s objectives of relationships as time goes on. You should check with the kids exactly what a healthier relationship appears like. Encourage your kiddies to identify these traits because they traverse the whole world where complicated and messy relationships are usually common. There are specific faculties to consider in healthier and pleased relationships, and if they are friendships or intimate relationships, they definitely have commonalities.
3 Indicators of the healthier Relationship
1. Open Communication and Honesty
In relationships, individuals frequently proceed through rough spots and times that are hard. The simplest way to eliminate conflict is through having available lines of interaction. A communication that is clear allows issues become remedied more easily and quickly. Whenever an individual is in a position to communicate easily, honesty and reliability can be cornerstones associated with relationship. Also, one must be nonjudgmental and accepting of the buddy and partner because they share their views. Trust is key. Love is Respect provides tips that are great techniques to communicate.
2. Respect and Boundaries

Equality is very important, for instance if your partner constantly bosses one other around and informs her or him what you should do, this is certainly a indication of a not enough respect.

3. Help and Love

Each individual needs to have the otherвЂ™s most readily useful interest at heart, rather than entirely his / her very very own aspirations. you ought to find confidence and encouragement in relationships. One of the ways that love and help is oftentimes demonstrated in a relationship is through acknowledging and building for each strengths that are otherвЂ™s.
3 Indicators of a relationship that is unhealthy
1. Not enough correspondence, Disregard for the PersonвЂ™s Perspective, and Dishonesty
When there is not enough interaction in a relationship or partnership, it really is incredibly hard to resolve conflict. Dishonesty is just a red banner whenever it comes down to interaction which is one thing to watch out for. Dishonesty compromises the trust which you have actually integrated a relationship. Additionally, it is necessary in healthy relationships that partners or buddies consider the other personвЂ™s perspective, instead of disregarding exactly exactly exactly what he/she claims or seems.

It’s important to take note if your friend or partner is exceptionally negative, or informs you that you’re not adequate enough.


Women ask me all the time for tips on how to look younger. Of course, I understand—we all have moments when we want to turn back the clock. But I really believe that feeling your best is about being who you are, and that with the right makeup and tools any woman can feel confident, or what I like to call Pretty Powerful. Thanks to Good Morning America and the rest of the Makeover Dream Team, I spent the last three mornings sharing this philosophy with three incredible women who—more than looking younger—wanted to feel good about themselves again.
Glynette Ford, Nitza Lipp, and Leah Burg are beautiful, strong women who, for the last several years, have struggled with feeling confident and comfortable in their own skin. At 45, Glynette started being offered senior citizen discounts and was often mistaken for her daughter’s grandmother. During a 14-year battle with cancer, Nitza was focused on fighting for her life, not pampering herself, but her confidence had taken a serious hit. And Leah, whose daughter was diagnosed with cancer at just 1 year old, had put all of her energy into being a caregiver and had little left for taking care of herself.
This week, all three women made an important decision to start feeling better about themselves. And with the help of GMA and the the Dream Team, they were able to do just that. It’s amazing what a blow out, the right clothes, and a little makeup can do. I watched Glynette, Nitza, and Leah gain their confidence back in the course of an hour. It was completely inspiring.
Women of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds have always been part of our DNA at Bobbi Brown. I love working with real women to be pretty, to be confident, to be who they are. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to hear more about these three remarkable women—I think they’ll inspire you, too.
P.S. There are lots of reasons why I love going to GMA, but one of them is definitely surprise sightings. Look who I found backstage…

Nirmala Venkatesh criticises Govt. for sacking her over Mangalore pub probeMarch 2nd, 2009 - 2:58 pm ICT by ANI
Bangalore, Mar 2 (ANI): Former National Commission for Women (NCW) member Nirmala Venkatesh, on Monday critisised the government for sacking her over the Mangalore pub attack probe.
Addressing a press conference here, Venkatesh defended her controversial report on the pub attacks, which had blamed the pub owners for not providing safety to women guests and recommended suspension of its license.
“So many cases were investigated by the one-member committee. I can take suo moto action. I have the quasi-judicial power and can take suo motu action as per the NCW Act,” she said.
She also lashed out at the Union Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhary for saying she had no legal knowledge.
Venkatesh was sacked on February 27 for failing to conduct an unbiased enquiry.
Her report on the attack was not accepted by the Commission due to several inadequacies.
She was also criticised for going public with her findings before submitting it to the Government.
After rejecting the report, the Women and Child Development Ministry has ordered another inquiry into the Mangalore incident perpetrated by the Sri Ram Sene. (ANI)

The upper is totally blacked out with the exception of red hits on the heel and tab. A white midsole is added to the design which is finished off with a red outsole.

|Polaris RZR XP 900 Review at Sand Mountain
My buddy Dave and and I loaded up our brand new Polaris RZR XPs and drove out toSand Mountain for a quick day trip. Both of our RZR XPs have completely stock engines (intake, exhaust, etc.) and suspension (Fox 2.0 shocks). The big change we made from stock are tires for the dunes.
We started out cruising the baby dunes to get a feel for the cars and to see what the mountain looked like after the recent storms (always a good idea to check the area for new drop offs and holes before going real fast). I had my friend Miguel in with me and Dave was solo. After playing for 10 minutes or so, we had worked our way around to the back side.
We got to the bottom of the back side and I figured we made a run up the back along the ridge which is very steep, but not quite as hard as straight up the back. WOW! We made it right up without hesitation. Even with two of us in the car. The sand was wet so that helped, but I have never made it up the backside in any UTV that is so close to stock. We turned and headed back down to try a straight shot. To my amazement, once again we made it up with room to spare. Incredible! I dropped Miguel at the top so he could take a quick video with my phone.

After checking out the rest of the mountain, I decided it was time to get some air in the XP. I am not a big jumper, but the RZR XP makes it easy. The long travel suspension with Fox 2.0 shocks soak up the landings with ease. I had to remind myself that this was for the most part a stock machine.
Besides the sand tires and beadlock wheels, we have added just a few bolt-on accessories to our RZR XP.
These two items are too important for dune riding, but I plan to take the XP on some rock crawling adventures and want to make sure things are protected.

Attorney General meets with CNN and other media – Deadline
Updated, with the Post’s comment from Fred Ryan: Representatives from CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post met with Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to discuss new rules designed to prevent prosecutors from subpoenaing reporters’ files in an attempt to find their sources.
The meeting came after the three media outlets reported that some of their reporters were told that federal prosecutors had secretly obtained phone and email data from the Trump administration. The disclosure was apparently linked to investigations into the leaks.
President Joe Biden called such a practice “just, just plain bad,” and the Department of Justice subsequently announced a policy change to no longer require a subpoena to obtain such records in court. ‘leak investigations. But news outlets and the Journalists’ Committee for Press Freedom said they had a series of unanswered questions about how the seizure of the documents took place and called for political reforms to ensure that this does not happen again.
In a statement, the justice ministry said “the attorney general and media representatives agreed on the need for strong and lasting rules.” The DOJ said Garland is committed to working with media organizations to develop the new rules as regulations.
Meeting attendees included Sam Feist and David Vigilante of CNN, Fred Ryan, Jay Kennedy and Sally Buzbee of the Washington Post, and AG Sulzberger and David McCraw of the New York Times, as well as Bruce Brown, executive director of the Committee on Journalists. Brown told reporters the meeting was informal.
In a statement, Ryan said, âIt was heartening to hear the Attorney General’s commitment to the First Amendment rights of all Americans. While we welcome the new policy of refraining from using mandatory legal procedures to seize reporters’ records in leakage investigations, we believe that steps should be taken to ensure that it does so. is durable and binding for future administrations. It is also essential that there is a full and complete public account of all actions taken against our news agencies, including the secret subpoenas and gag orders, and an explanation of what was done with it. the information that was entered.
Last week, Vigilante appeared on CNN to describe being subjected to a gag order for nearly a year to prevent her from disclosing the DOJ’s pursuit of journalist Barbara Starr’s files. He was unable to inform Starr that the DOJ had searched for his email and other documents.
On Monday, Starr wrote that she was “really horrified” by what had happened.
She wrote: âPresident Biden has said that the seizure of journalists’ files will be stopped under his administration. But with all due respect for him and his stated intentions, this is a promise of limited relevance. Unless new protections are codified, this could all happen again to any journalist. Secret proceedings, gag orders so CNN lawyers can’t speak to me, and eight journalists drawn into investigations without explanation – this is not part of a free press in the United States.
She added: âAll of the material eventually handed over to the Justice Department by order of a judge involved communications over a two-month period in 2017. But it was not until 2020 that the Justice Department did. argue that he needed to view my 2017 communications as what we believe was part of a national security leak investigation. We don’t know why it took years for this to happen. “

Students Select The Shark As New Mascot
President Jane Close Conoley today ratified a student-initiated vote on a new mascot for the university. With 53 percent of the vote, students selected the shark by a wide margin over the stingray and the option of having no mascot at all.
This final vote and ratification by Conoley conclude a months-long student-initiated process that first widely solicited ideas for a new mascot, sent semifinalist concepts to a broad community vote, and finally offered up three finalists for a student referendum that ended last week.
The choice of the shark aligns with the campus’ renowned Shark Lab and its proximity to the beach.
The university's previous mascot, "Prospector Pete," was retired in 2018. However, the term “‘49er” remains an informal nickname and identifier for anyone affiliated with the university as an alumnus/alumna, employee, student, or supporter. The term references the institution's founding year and continues to hold significance as the university recognizes its 70th anniversary this year. Several organizations on campus also use the term, including the Daily '49er student newspaper and the '49er Foundation.
"We have benefited from a thoughtful, thorough, and inclusive process by our students," Conoley said. "I am grateful to all the university's stakeholders for their participation."
Selection of the shark now initiates a year-long development process to determine the look of the mascot, its personality characteristics, and the design of mascot uniforms and illustrations. This, again, will be informed by a multi-stakeholder, inclusive process now led by a university steering committee that will be appointed by Conoley.
The university's intercollegiate athletics program will continue to use "Beach Athletics" and its teams the prefix moniker "Beach” – as in, "Beach Men's Volleyball," the team that won the NCAA national championship earlier this month. The baseball team also retains its longstanding informal nickname of the "Dirtbags."
This article was updated on May 11 to further amplify original content that indicated that "Beach Athletics" and the university's team names will not change.

Savings rates rise but not in branches: Rise of internet-only accounts means many savers are being left out
Internet-only: Accounts paying top rates of interest are mostly available only online
Savers who prefer to stick to High Street accounts are being left out in the cold.
A flurry of accounts paying top rates of interest are mostly available only to those willing to run their accounts online.
Renewed competition among new banks and building societies means some easy-access accounts pay 1 per cent or more.
But those who want a High Street account are seeing little benefit.
Among the best online rates are Charter Savings Bank Easy Access at 1.01 per cent; Bank of Cyprus UK's Online Easy Access at 1.05 per cent; Tesco Bank Internet Saver at 1.01 per cent; Leeds BS Limited Issue Online Access at 1.05 per cent; and AA Savings Member Saver and Kent Reliance Easy Access 18, both at 1 per cent.
But with one exception, they are available only online. You can open and run the Kent Reliance account through its branches. But there are only eight, all in and around Kent.
The AA Savings Member Saver is also available by phone.
Typically, there is a huge difference between rates depending on how you run your account, even among the same providers.
Leeds BS pays 1.05 per cent on its new online-only account, but only 0.5 per cent on its branch-based Access Saver.
Tesco Bank's 1.01 per cent for online savers is four times higher than the 0.25 per cent it offers those in its Instant Access, which is available in some of its stores.
Post Office works in the same way — 1.01 per cent on its Online Saver 24, but just 0.5 per cent on its branch Instant Saver, which drops to 0.1 per cent after 12 months.
'There are many savers, especially older ones, who prefer to deal with human beings when managing their cash,' says Susan Hannums, director at the advice site Savings Champion. 'This group of savers is being ignored.
'The rise of internet-only accounts is little comfort to those desperate for better rates who don't wish to use a computer or don't have access to one.
'The recent launch of internet-only bonds from NS&I, which once sold its products via the Post Office, is a prime example.'
Rachel Springall, financial expert at data monitor Moneyfacts, says: 'This month we've had new deals and rate rises that are available only online, such as Charter Savings Bank, Tesco Bank and Leeds BS. Savers who don't or can't bank online are missing out.'
The top branch-based account after Kent Reliance comes from Coventry BS, paying 0.85 per cent on its Easy Access Saver.
But you need to live near its 70 branches in the Midlands, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire to use it unless you are willing to go online or run it over the phone or by post.
Big banks with large branch networks are notable for their lack of decent rates, paying as little as 0.01 per cent.
Halifax Everyday Saver pays 0.25 per cent, Lloyds Easy Saver 0.1 per cent and Barclays Every-day Saver 0.05 per cent. NatWest Instant Saver pays just 0.01 per cent.
Even Nationwide, the largest building society, pays only 0.1 per cent on its Instant Access Saver, but it does reward its loyal members with rates of up to 0.75 per cent.

In 2021, the AMA entered into a four-year partnership to support the Advancing women in healthcare leadership (AWHL) national initiative. The aim of the initiative is to deliver coproduced, evidence-based organisational and system change to advance women in healthcare leadership.
The initial AWHL initiative was funded by the NHMRC in 2019 and has grown to a $5 million dollar national initiative with 21 partners (inclusive of the AMA) across professional, medical and nursing colleges, industrial bodies, leading health services, government, and academia.
The AMA is working in partnership with the initiative to map, co-design, provide evidence, undertake stakeholder engagement, and develop a plan to support the AMA to achieve gender equity within its leadership and representative structures.
The AWHL has interviewed key AMA leaders and surveyed members to inform a priority setting workshop which will engage a broad selection of AMA members in setting priority and action areas to advance women in healthcare leadership at the AMA.
The AMA is represented on the AWHL Steering Committee and participates in the member organisation Community of Practice.
More recently the AWHL attended the AMA trainee forum to discuss gender equity in medicine and training.

i know it's quite weird to put a real person in a "comforts" page, but i just can't help and talk about how much of an amazing person kuba is, every day i wake up and just can't wait to message him, i love spending time with him on here.fm, talking about anything that comes into my mind or just spending time with him in general! kuba brings me joy just by being here and i just can't express how much happiness he gave me just by simply playing games with me or listening to music together, he's one of the people that i'm not afraid of sharing my feelings with because he geniunely understands them even if i can't put into words in a better way. he's my source of feeling that safety every day. i really can't find words to describe how much of an angel kuba is, but all i can say is that im thankful for meeting him.
kindred, the eternal hunters
kindred is a playable champion in league of legends that mainly is played in the jungle role. kindred contains of 2 entities - the wolf and the lamb. kindred represents the twin essences of death. lambs bow offers a swift release from the mortal realm for those who accept their fate, and the wolf hunts down those who run from their end, delivering violent finality within his crushing jaws. though interpretations of kindreds nature vary across runeterra, every mortal must choose the true face of their death. at first i thought to make this site based around these 2, since they've been my interest for quite a long time, but i decided to make a primarina themed one. i'm absolutely in love with their design, lore (since they're one of the more important characters in lore despite them not being that popular in the game) and gameplay! i'm not the best in the jungle, but it's been so fun playing these 2 and hunting the marks that you collect to get stronger!! once you achieve a certain number you basically one shot everyone. they've been a comfort of mine since i started playing league.
kaworu is both the 17th angel and the fifth child. although classified as an angel, kaworu is similar to rei ayanami in being a seed of life that inhabits a human body. despite his human form, kaworu does not seem to consider himself to be human, referring to humans as "the lilin" in differentiation from himself. ever since i first watched evangelion, i couldn't help but just melt whenether i thought about kaworu, every time i was upset or feeling down i just could listen to a random "kaworu playlist" on youtube that consisted of some random tiktok songs, but it still made me cheer up, just the thought of him makes me smile, sometimes kuba reminds me of him, which makes me feel tons of joy. i love kaworu so much that i spent lots of time listening, reading etc. about his character, even if i knew of these things i just couldn't help but still have that "woah" when i heard the same things again about *him*. some people tell me that im like him, bc i have this weird "aura" around myself that makes them feel safe around me, which im not gonna lie - is kinda cute if u think about it, like, me? i make u feel happy?
kagamine len is a japanese humanoid persona of a singing synthesiser software developed and distributed by crypton future media. he's a part of the character vocal series and is a vocaloid codenamed cv02. kagamine len's songs we're the most iconic ones that i can remember from my childhood, i used to listen to butterfly on your right shoulder, plus danshi, banana song or i remember discovering len's version of ghost rule in 2018! he's been one of my absolute favourites for such a long time and i still love him to this day, i remember the time when at school i was explaining to my friend who len was, showed her a song and she was like "so is he from an anime?", it was pretty funny when she realised that she said something quite stupid especially when right a second before i told her that he wasn't.
yameii, or yameii online, is a rapper, singer and the "hero" character of oseanworld. she was given powers by the space god, who took them away until she regained them fighting to escape deadric city. i must say, i love yameii's work so much, i've discovered her by one day randomly hearing her "no error" song and i was quite interested in her, after she blowed up on tiktok i started to listen to her more, and as you might've noticed, the website's name - frvr is actually a name of her song! well, right now my favourite song from her is "pur", probs because i love cats, the music video is also really pretty and i'm absolutely in love with it. there's a webtoon in which she's one of the characters, they kept the original 3d iconic style for it that scratches my brain every time i see it!!

The Alnwick Castle & York in England
We went to see a medieval castle that my dad lived in while he was in college! It’s in a small town named Alnwick in the north of England. A lady gave us a tour of some of the classrooms where my dad had classes. They also filmed part of the Harry Potter movies there! It was the part of the movies where they practice flying on broomsticks to play Quidditch. My dad and Wesley took “flying lessons” with a funny teacher and all the people had their own broomsticks. My mom and I did soap-making instead of flying. We made soap out of herbs and dried flowers. We went around the castle and looked at a few things that my dad recognized. He said he had a lot of good times there and when he got there he didn’t know anybody. But he made friends while he was there. We also saw some other castles but we didn’t get out of the car. Only my dad did to take pictures. We had seen too many already.
There was a smaller city called Alnmouth nearby that we also stopped at earlier that morning before the castle. My dad remembered it and wanted to show us the fishing boats near the water.
The next morning we stopped in York and had some fun walking around in the rain. There was a street with buildings that were really close together called The Shambles. They were filled with lots of little shops. We stopped at a little bar so my dad could try some beer. The guy who worked there told us that this street is the oldest shopping street in Europe. Also, while we were there we saw a brochure for a store that had a Narnia display. We were excited to go there because we had listened in the car to the book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe over the past few weeks. We walked there and it was a small shop that had a wardrobe closet. If you went inside the wardrobe you’d go into a winter-y room that was decorated like Narnia with a lamppost and Aslan the lion. We thought we’d be able to make a bow and arrow or a sword but the classes weren’t going on. Wesley and I decided to watch the movie later that night.

Bring white sand to northside beaches
IMAGINE beautiful pure white sand between your toes right here at Sandgate, Shornclifffe and Brighton.
This letter is to everyone who would benefit from such a move and to everyone in a position to make it happen.
Beaches at the Shorncliffe enclosure near Moora Park and the pier, at Sandgate beside the pool complex, between Ninth and Tenth Avenues and at Nineteenth Avenue, Brighton are great areas for children, sunbathers and picnics that could be made to look and feel so much more attractive with a touch of white sand.
Here’s the sting. Now that the laying of sand on the new Brisbane Airport Runway is completed Brisbane Airport Corporation has a huge excess of beautiful white sand which needs to be disposed of.
How about the powers that be of both Brisbane Airport Corporation and our local council or parliament get talking and put some of this sand, which has been dredged from Moreton Bay, back onto the foreshore.
What a great gift to the community it would be from the Brisbane Airport Corporation.
Come on let’s have a go and see if we can get this little project off the ground.
It would be great if the Airport Corporation, the Mayor, local state member and councillor and anyone else passionate about making the area more beautiful could make this a goer.
So folks please contact your local member if you are behind this idea. — D.A, Sandgate

Instead of being a highly explosive warhead that could pose a threat to modern-day boaters, the coral- and sponge-encrusted torpedo found off Pompano Beach probably was filled with dye and was used to train U.S. submariners.
``From its markings and configuration, it was probably used in training exercises in this area,'' said Chief Warrant Officer Steve Bebow of the Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit from Mayport near Jacksonville. ``There were all kinds of test ranges around here after World War II.''
Bebow, with fellow Navy diver John Sathe and Stephen Attis, a Pompano Beach diver and amateur underwater archaeologist, made two dives to the torpedo on Wednesday to scrape off debris, confirm markings and videotape the investigation.
For Lou Besterda of Plantation, a former Navy torpedoman third class during World War II, the find brought back memories.
Besterda's quarters aboard the Hammerhead were in the ordnance room, his bunkmate during most of the war being a 13-foot-long torpedo, similar to the one found off Pompano Beach.
``After the war, there were a lot of training exercises in the ocean off Broward County,'' Besterda said. ``They tried to recover training torpedoes so they could be reused, but they probably left this one for some reason.''
The dye helped submariners pick up the torpedo in the water.
Besterda said he figured it was a practice torpedo because a torpedo fired by a German U-boat probably would have detonated.
Attis discovered the 13-foot-long torpedo about three weeks ago when he was exploring the ocean floor for Historic Shipwreck Expeditions, a company that tries to find Spanish gold and other artifacts of historical significance.
``I saw it in front of me on the ocean floor,'' Attis said. ``And when I saw the fins and the propellers I knew what it was.''

Geography professor claims to have found Osama bin Laden – Telegraph
An interesting article, and for my geography students, excellent Geography Journal fodder. Geographers, not just one as this article title alludes, have developed a model to narrow the search for Osama bin Laden. In fact, their analysis have identified the area within the red box as the most likely candidate for his home.
The article cites animal distribution theories as the basis for establishing this location. GIS is a potent tool for the analysis of habitats, whether those habitats be associated with squirrels or terrorists. Software tools are available that use Animal Movement algorithms for crime analysis. Why not use these same tools to find UBL?
The geographers, according to the article, narrowed the scope of UBL’s habitat to about three houses in a city, Parachinar, of about 500,000 people. That, to me, anyway, seems like a stretch.
Noting the map above, the city is a plausible host for UBL. The city is the closest one can get to Afghanistan without crossing into Afghanistan. A city of 500,000 would allow someone like UBL to hide without his presence being common knowledge. Many services would most likely be available to him, medical, telecommunications, internet, grocery stores, and the like. The close proximity to Kabul would allow him to maintain contact with Al-Qaeda associates within Afghanistan. Parachinar also lies along the route to Peshawar (pop: 3 million) and Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan (pop: 1.5 million) and Rawalpindi (pop: 3 million).
Parachinar is also located in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), which is an oxymoron. The FATA is anything but administered by the Pakistani federal government; more like an area owned and operated by the same tribes that the government would like to think that it administers. By taking up residence within the FATA, UBL is assured protection by Taliban supporters, Al-Qaeda supporters, anti-American factions, and those seeking to topple the Pakistani government.

Davao Customs chief defies order to quit, is fired instead
MANILA, Philippines–Eight months after being appointed head of the Bureau of Customs’ Davao collection district, Army Brig. Gen. Ernesto Aradanas (ret.) has been relieved for alleged involvement in oil smuggling, among other irregularities.
Customs Commissioner John Phillip Sevilla on Sept. 30 “asked him to tender his resignation, but he refused,” said Charo Logarta-Lagamon, chief of the BOC Public Information and Assistance Division (PIAD).
“However, since we are all coterminous project managers in the Office of Revenue Agency Modernization and merely detailed at the Bureau of Customs, none of us have security of tenure like regular civil service employees. Hence, the termination order from the Department of Finance,” she told the Inquirer on Thursday.
The BOC is a DOF-attached agency.
‘So many reasons’
Customs Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence Group Jessie Dellosa said there were “so many reasons” for Aradanas’ termination.
“I have not seen the termination order from the DOF. What I know is that he was asked to resign by Commissioner Sevilla,” Dellosa, a former Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff, said.
Both Dellosa and Aradanas, former chief of the 603rd Infantry Brigade and executive vice president of the National Defense College of the Philippines, belong to Philippine Military Academy “Matapat” Class of 1979.
The Inquirer tried but failed to reach Aradanas for comment.
However, in an Oct. 2 letter to Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, a copy of which was obtained by the Inquirer, Aradanas disputed the allegations against him.
“Contrary to (the) perception of the honorable commissioner and the people around him, the undersigned firmly believes he has acted within the bounds of the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines,” he wrote.
Earlier, Sevilla had directed Aradanas to issue a Warrant of Seizure and Detention (WSD) against a shipment of suspected smuggled petroleum products.
Act of defiance
Aradanas instead cleared the shipment and had it moved to a private port in Tambler, General Santos City, where it was apprehended by a joint team from the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service and Philippine Coast Guard.
“Unfortunately, this was seen by Commissioner Sevilla as an act of defiance and inability to carry out a direct order coming from the head of the agency,” Ardanas explained in his letter to Purisima.
He said that “such authority should not and cannot be exercised arbitrarily and capriciously. It is an absolute requirement that the person issuing the WSD must be certain that probable cause exists and such presence must be determined personally by the issuing authority or is personally convinced, based on available evidence, that the shipment is in violation of customs laws.”
Aradanas recalled that during a meeting with Sevilla, “he emphatically expressed his displeasure at how the situation was handled, which for him was a clear example of oil smuggling. Accordingly, I was directed to immediately tender my resignation.”
He said he would “humbly submit to any order coming from (Sevilla) or the Department of Finance for as long as the same is in accordance with existing customs and department laws.”
Aradanas became Davao district collector in February.
Another customs official accused him of involvement in other anomalies at the Davao port, including the release of two shipments of suspected smuggled oranges from South Africa in July and August despite alert orders issued by the BOC Intelligence Group.
“The Port of Davao lifted the alert orders despite the fact the BOC has an intensified campaign against the entry of fruits and other food items that may pose risks to public health and the local agriculture industry,” said the official, who asked not to be named for lack of authority to speak to media.
Also, “the shipments were made to appear that they originated from the United States. Clearly, fake import papers were used, yet they were still released to their consignees,” he added.
In an Aug. 20 statement, the PIAD said the government warned against the “movement of all cargoes from Africa as part of precautionary measures against the reported outbreak of the Ebola virus.”

Of course, as a Catholic, there are some things there that I don't understand. Pastoral search committees? Yeah, I wouldn't know anything about that. Our bishops pass out the assignments to the various parishes. Then there's the #1 favorite post about understanding how metrosexual your worship leader is. Right. The music at the Mass that I go to is usually a cantor and the older lady that plays the organ. Alma is great, definitely the spunky kind of a lady that I hope to grow up to be someday (minus the organ playing), but she doesn't lend me any kind of perspective on that topic.
Today I'm excited because there's a post asking what people are reading right now. That means that I have a whole new list of things to add to the reading list. You know, because I don't have enough books lying around waiting for my attention. It is a little hard for me to get in to that discussion, though, because a lot of the really great books I have read have been Catholic. Not that Catholic books are outlawed from the discussion, but I seriously doubt that the SCL readership is that interested on Scott Hahn's discussion on Mass in the book of Revelation in The Lamb's Supper. Absolutely great read, though, for Catholics and non-Catholics that are interested in learning more about the Mass and how it fits with the Bible. Also a very interesting take on some things in the book of Revelation.
If you haven't checked out SCL, head on over there.

Student Snow Carvers Get Third at Snow Fest
For many students, art class is a time to find what inspires them and helps bring out their creativity.
One local art program is helping its students express themselves in a whole new way.
Mount Pleasant High School art teacher Therese Lunsford said, “The students get to do something that we would never have the ability to do that in the classroom.”
They are able to leave the classroom behind and brave the cold to create snow sculptures.
Senior snow carver Nicha Naksen said, “I think it’s an excuse for us to get together and share our passion for art and it’s really cool how we get to use all of our skills to put into one big project to represent the school and the art community.”
After long hours of carving, they quickly discovered their hard work paid off. Out of 20 teams from around the state, they took third place.
Naksen said, “I was very proud of us. I almost started crying. My team members were very great and we had our ups and downs-we communicated through it and that’s the most important part of snow fest is to communicate with people and be open-minded.”
This opportunity has allowed them to take part in not only an art project but also a team-building opportunity.
Naksen said, “The sculpture is not just your project-it’s everyone’s project so you have to put all of your efforts in but at the same time you should appreciate other people’s skills.”
This outlet has allowed them to make connections within their small class and enjoy each other’s company.
Senior snow carver Kaitlyn Bootz said, “Even though it’s a competition we’re all there to appreciate everyone’s hard work and it’s something we all came to do together.”

When I help people organize their paperwork, we usually come across stacks of receipts. Which ones are worth keeping? The following guidance applies to the U.S., but similar guidelines may apply elsewhere, too.
Receipts for small cash purchases
If you bought a coffee at Starbucks, there’s no need to hold onto that receipt. You don’t even need to shred the receipt since it contains no personally identifying information that could cause problems if someone else saw it.
Receipts for credit/debit card purchases
You may want to keep those until you get your credit card bill/bank statement and can confirm the charges on the bill/statement match up to your receipts.
Receipts for high-value items
These receipts can be useful for insurance purposes if you are unfortunate enough to have a theft, a fire, or other loss. Because paper records would get lost in a fire along with the items on the receipt, it’s good to keep these receipts electronically (with an offsite backup), in a safe deposit box, or in a fireproof safe in your home.
Receipts for items you might want to return
If you’re not sure you want to keep something or if it’s an item under warranty, keeping the receipt until the end of the allowed return time or the end of the warranty period might be useful.
Receipts for tax purposes
If you itemize your deductions, you’ll want to keep receipts for any expenses you can deduct. And if you’re self-employed, there are many receipts that may be important. Check with your tax preparer (or review the information on the IRS website) to identify exactly which expenses are deductible and how long they should be kept. The Cohan rule may help you out if you lack receipts, allowing expenses to be estimated, but life will be much easier if you do have the receipts.
If you own your home, keep the receipts for all home improvements. When you sell your home, the cost of those improvements will reduce your taxable gain. I have friends who are selling their house this year and didn’t keep good records for their many improvements, and now they need to scramble to pull the information together. That’s no fun.
Miscellaneous tips regarding receipts
Cash register receipts printed on thermal paper fade over time. If you have some of those, scan them or make a photocopy as soon as possible, while the receipt is still legible. You may be able to scan such receipts and darken them after they’ve faded, but creating and saving legible copies right away will save you that bother.
If a tax-related receipt doesn’t identify exactly what was purchased, writing that information on the receipt at the time of purchase will save you frustration in the future, as I have found from sad experience.
Some stores offer the option of emailed receipts rather than printed receipts. If you deal well with electronic records, this can reduce the paper clutter. My grocery store offers emailed receipts, and I definitely prefer them to paper.

text: Monilethrix, a rare human hair disorder with autosomal dominant transmission, can be caused by mutations in hair keratins. Up to now, causative mutations have only been found in two type II cortex keratins, hHb6 and hHb1. In these hair keratins, the helix termination motif, HTM, was the only site in which mutations were located. The most frequent mutation, which has been found in 22 cases, was a Glu413Lys substitution in hHb6, whereas other mutations, i.e., hHb6 Glu413Asp, hHb1 Glu413Lys, and hHb1 Glu402Lys, have been reported in a distinctly lower number of cases. In this study, we describe the equivalent of the hHb1 Glu402Lys mutation in the HTM of cortex keratin hHb6. The mutation occurred in an American family in which it could only be detected in one clinically affected individual. Thus the underlying G-->A transition represents a spontaneous germ-line mutation in the hHb6 gene. This new mutation indicates that both the hHb6/hHb1 Glu413Lys substitution and the hHb6/hHb1 Glu402Lys substitution, represent mutational hotspots in the HTM of type II cortex keratins. However, we also describe a monilethrix-causing mutation in the helix initiation motif, HIM, of the cortex keratin hHb6. The critical Asn114Asp substitution was only found in affected members of a large Swedish three-generation family. Considering that since childhood, half of the affected individuals suffer from complete baldness and follicular keratosis, the new HIM mutation seems to be associated with a rather severe disease phenotype. In conclusion, our data strongly suggest that monilethrix is a disease of the hair cortex, whose etiology is interesting in that causative mutations seem to be restricted to type II hair keratins.

The Benefits and Advantages of Consuming Healthy Meals
One ought to never underestimate the significance of consuming healthy food. There are such a lot of benefits however why are there so many people nonetheless not consuming proper? Why has obesity and coronary heart illnesses develop into such a huge factor? Though the statistics are clear, folks nonetheless refuse to vary their life styles.

Being in love is not just an overwhelming feeling; it is also considered as one of the great healthy habits due to the positive changes that people go through when they are in love. But, we often notice that when a relationship is in its beginning phase, the bonding between the partners is splendid. And with passing time, it somehow disappears, and the relationship is left with only monotony affairs. But, is it the fate that we should meet in our love life?
Obviously no! So, to keep the spark alive in relation, we must be entitled to follow some rules that would ensure a valuable bonding, even when it is a two-decades-old affair.
Let us discuss a few such ideas to keep the bond intact with our partner:
1. Share your ideas and thoughts with each other
The most grueling factor in the long-term relationships that affect the relation is the absence of communication between the partners. When you talk to each other regarding all your ideas and thoughts, it makes your relationship grow better with times.
2. Go for vacations once a while
You both may be busy with your lives for very long and do not get time to spend with each other. In this case, you must try to take a short leave from your everyday duties and go for a vacation together; it is helpful in jazzing up the chemistry between the lovebirds.
3. Don’t take each other for granted
We often see that in every relation the couples take each other for granted and thereby do not care much about each other’s existence. Although they love each other, the fear of losing doesn’t affect them anymore. Thus, they become neglecting towards their partner, and it leads to a cold relationship between them. So, acknowledge the presence of your partner while you are still together.
4. Keep the fun alive
Before being partners, learn to be friends with each other. That, in turn, will help you to lead a healthy relationship even when you have walked together a long distance.
5. Dress to impress
You should not always dress for a party or other outings; sometimes dress up for impressing your partner also! It not only attracts them all over again towards you but also heats up the fire in your relationship by a notch higher. In the fast-paced era, people often miss out on the small gestures of life that makes them happy. The casualties of our day to day lives makes us prompt to a boring lifestyle which we don’t like to lead otherwise.
Thus, it is essential that we at least keep our personal life at bay, from all these hullabaloos. People only think that the healthy habits for a healthy life include the wellbeing of our physical health which is attained through a balanced diet and regular workout sessions, but they forget that being healthy mentally is also crucial for our survival. Thus, a strong bond with our partner is a ‘tried and tested’ formula to sustain a healthy life in the long run.

Reasons to Work with a DUI Lawyer in Pittsburgh
July 18, 2016
You need a DUI lawyer in Pittsburgh if you have been stopped, arrested, and charged with a DUI. If you have been charged with one, there's a great deal of stress and uncertainty that can come along with the arrest. You will probably be worried about the penalties that could result if you are convicted and the consequences of having a DUI conviction on your record. In addition to this, there's a feeling of embarrassment as to how your family, friends, colleagues, and even your boss at work might respond to a DUI conviction.
This Mistake Can Cost You
I understand that very often a DUI, especially with a first-time offender, is a lapse in judgment or a simple mistake. Unfortunately, state laws can be extremely harsh in Pennsylvania when it comes to DUI convictions, which is why you need a DUI lawyer in Pittsburgh immediately after being arrested and charged with a DUI. There are severe and even harsh penalties that can be imposed upon you if you are convicted of a DUI. These can include fines, jail time, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device, substance abuse education and treatment, or even the loss of driving privileges.
You need a DUI lawyer in Pittsburgh if you have been charged with a DUI. Many people, often caught up in the confusion and stress of being arrested, do not take into account the long-term consequences of being convicted of a DUI in Pittsburgh. If you are convicted of a DUI, you will have to deal with that for the rest of your life. What this means is that once you are convicted of a DUI, it will go on your permanent record, which can be accessed by anybody looking into your background. Many employers today will perform a standard background check before they hire an employee, and in your case, your record with your DUI conviction will show up. This could cost you many opportunities in the future. It is highly recommended that you work with me, as your attorney, to limit the likelihood that your DUI charge will end up as a criminal conviction.
While I cannot predict what the outcome of your case will be, there are options. In many cases, I can negotiate a plea bargain so that you can be convicted of a lesser charge like reckless driving. Other times, a DUI conviction is inevitable but I can negotiate so that you do not receive too harsh of penalties. In court, I will present a strong case in your defense and fight for the best possible outcome.
When meeting with you, I will thoroughly examine your case and find out the best way to prevent a DUI conviction. This is important to make sure that you deal with the least amount of potential penalties and if possible, ensure that your DUI does not go on your permanent record. Working diligently within the framework of the criminal justice system, I can approach the case in the most positive manner, getting you the best possible plea bargain deal if necessary, making sure that you are completely acquitted if possible, and ultimately reaching a resolution that is in your best interest. If you have been arrested and are being tried for a DUI, you need to pick up the phone and call my office to speak with a DUI lawyer in Pittsburgh immediately.
