At 13 stories and 334,000 sq ft, 3737 Science Center’s flexible design accommodates a variety of clinical, laboratory research and office programs. Ten months before the originally scheduled completion date, the owner requested two additional floors, prompting a rapid redesign of structural and mechanical systems, elevators and curtain wall. A critical material fabrication decision path was developed to identify deadlines that required expedited owner approval.
The construction time line could be extended, but tenant occupancy schedules remained fixed. A temporary roof installed at the 10th floor made the building watertight so that interior work could proceed. The urban site was too small for a tower crane base, so a cantilevered crane was positioned along a side street. This enabled work to proceed while preserving separate lanes for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. During foundation work, unusual bottom-of-caisson inspections required special training and protective measures to lower inspectors safely into caisson holes.
The LEED-Gold project is Pennsylvania’s first clinical facility to utilize active chilled-beam technology with enthalpy heat wheel recovery. Along with reducing energy costs, the system allows for a lower floor-to-floor height without affecting interior ceiling heights. Cooling loads are reduced by solar shading devices, high-performance glazing and super-insulating walls. Other sustainable features include a reflective roof membrane, green roofs, high-efficiency water fixtures and water-efficient landscaping.

Jamaica is the picturesque background for this explosive novel about love, fear, and intolerance, the second in Gillian Royes's mystery series featuring charming and charismatic bartender-turned-detective Shad. Hopes for the impoverished village of Largo Bay come alive with the arrival of Joseph, estranged son of bar owner Eric. Janna, who has returned to the island, falls for Joseph's good looks and charm, but she isn't the only one with an eye for this mysterious man. As questions about Joseph's sexuality arise, Shad struggles with protecting the survival of his beloved birthplace amidst the deeply ingrained culture of intolerance that surrounds him. Questions arise about what it means to be a man and a father, and Shad feels pressure to defend what he knows is right. As in the acclaimed The Goat Woman of Largo Bay, the first book in this series, Gillian Royes paints an indelible picture of a beautiful land where religion is strong but life is cheap, and explores what happens when a village must confront its own darkness or lose a bright future.

Belle Isle Details Announced
01.23.05 - 10:54 PM
Belle Isle is a new PC-based MMORPG from Headlock. Instead of a standard level-based system, a character's growth in the game centers around him or her upgrading his or her skills. Character classes are non-existent in Belle Isle. Players can customize their virtual alter egos by upgrading more than 60 different types of skills. Using magic is a more complex venture in this game than in other MMORPGs. Players will need to collect a pen, magic spell book, a magic catalytic paper as well as a spell scroll. Once they have acquired all four, they have to equip the magic spell book and the pen. Then they have to transcribe the spells written on the scrolls into the book. Scrolls can easily be transcribed into a book, by using a drag-and-drop menu. A piece of catalytic paper is required for every spell you choose to use. Using magic spells in battle takes a certain amount of time, similar to summoning Guardian Forces in Final Fantasy VIII. Depending on how frequently you use a certain magic spell, it will take more or less time until it connects. Provided the necessary recipe, tools and raw materials are at their disposal, users can also produce their own items.
Belle Isle's background story goes as follows: Long ago, the land of mankind was invaded by the residents of Hell, known as Demonica. Man lost this epic battle, and the lucky survivors had to escape from earth. Eventually they found refuge on Belle Isle a floating continent protected by the Gods. As time passed by, humans built a new civilization on Belle Isle and began to forget the horrors of the war. However, at some point, certain areas turned into deserts and beautiful lake shores into dirty mud. Once again, the mysterious Demonica are preparing to attack mankind. Can humans win this time around?
The development team has implemented a time system, extending from parents to kids and from kids to grandchildren. Equally, spring will turn into summer, summer into fall and fall into winter. Major events will also be tied to this time cycle. Depending on the way players spend their money, they can also raise their character's status in an economic cycle. All these elements liken Belle Isle to an endless cycle of rebirth. As players fight, travel, marry, raise their kids and help to advance the stance of their country, they all become part of the game's history.
Headlock recommends the following PC configuration for Belle Isle: A Pentium IV (or higher) CPU, 1 GB of main memory, a broadband internet connection, a GeforceFX video card, 6 GB for free harddisk space, a Direct Sound-compatible sound card, Direct X8.1 or higher and a Japanese version of either Windows 2000 or XP.
Belle Isle is currently undergoing its first closed beta testing phase. No official release has been announced at this point.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 12, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- (NASDAQ: SSYS) Stratasys today announced that its Dimension 3D printers and Fortus Production 3D Printers played a critical role in the development of the new MINI John Cooper Works World Rally Car (WRC).
The MINI Cooper WRC Team used the additive manufacturing machines to create a full-scale mock-up of the vehicle directly from the CAD (computer aided design) files, and it used the technology extensively on other assemblies and components of the vehicle.
The MINI WRC Team relied heavily on 3D printing throughout the car's two-year development cycle. To design the test car, engineers used Stratasys FDM 3D Printing technology to create large parts of the engine bay, gearbox, steering assembly, vehicle interior and even engine components, such as intake valves. In addition to prototyping parts for the test track, the MINI WRC Team even produced some end-use parts for the finished car. One of the most visible of these is the ergonomically styled gearshift display and control panel, which is mounted on the steering column.
The development of the car, which will be featured in this year's World Rally Championship, has impressed upon MINI WRC Team the importance of 3D printing in saving time, reducing tooling costs and enabling more design freedom of complex geometric parts.
"We would find it nearly impossible to build another car without using FDM technology," said Paul Doe, chief design engineer. "We would never have dreamt of building the parts we did without the Stratasys machines. Using composite parts would have cost up to three to five times more."
"MINI WRC Team's use of FDM technology to develop a race-worthy car for WRC demonstrates that it's both efficient and cost effective," said Tim Heller, managing director of Stratasys Europe. "It's nice to be considered an indispensable part of the prestigious team's operation."
MINI WRC Team Details
The MINI WRC Team made its debut in the FIA World Rally Championship in Rally Italy, Sardinia in May and for 2011 will be competing in just six European rallies with two MINI John Cooper Works WRCS. This is ahead of a full assault taking in all rounds of the championship in 2012. MINI has a great rallying heritage and so for its two cars the team has chosen the numbers 37 and 52, which were carried by the cars winning the Monte Carlo Rally in the sixties. Driving number 37 is Spain's Dani Sordi with his co-driver being fellow Spaniard Carlos del Barrio. Kris Meeke from Northern Ireland is driving number 52, and his co-driver is Paul Nagle from Southern Ireland. This programme was initially announced last July, but even before then a lot of development had been done by MINI's partner in this project Prodrive, one of the most experienced and respected operations in rallying. This UK based company from Banbury has no less than six World Rally Championship titles to its name. It was founded by team principal David Richards, who was himself a very successful rally co-driver. "MINI powered by BMW Motorsport": The heart of the MINI John Cooper Works WRC is the 1.6-litre, four-cylinder Di turbo engine, which is also available in the MINI production models. The production engine was further developed by BMW Motorsport for the use in various categories according to FIA Super 2000 regulations. The power transmission takes place via an Xtrac 6-speed, sequential gearbox. For its outings on the rally stages, the MINI Countryman chassis has been fitted with a roll cage developed by Prodrive, which exceeds the strict safety requirements of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
Stratasys, Inc., Minneapolis is a maker of additive manufacturing machines for prototyping and producing plastic parts. The company markets under the brands Fortus 3D Production Systems and Dimension 3D Printers. The company also operates RedEye On Demand, a digital manufacturing service for prototypes and production parts. According to Wohlers Report 2010, Stratasys supplied more additive manufacturing systems in 2009 than any other manufacturer, making it the unit market leader for the eighth consecutive year. Stratasys patented and owns the process known as FDM.® The process creates functional prototypes and manufactured goods directly from any 3D CAD program, using high-performance industrial thermoplastics. The company holds more than 285 granted or pending additive manufacturing patents globally. Stratasys products are used in the aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, business & industrial equipment, education, architecture, and consumer-product industries.

Today I finished a beautifully soft and thick scarf for a friend. She ordered it to give it out as a Christmas gift, and I am sure they're going to love it! For this scarf I used a yarn that I haven't used before, an alpaca and acrylic blend. Aside from a few shedding hairs, it is a really nice yarn to work with. I love how full and soft the scarf feels now. And I tried it on my neck...it's not too itchy which I was worried about.
I wrapped it up complete with a Thank you note and the washing instructions. I think it looks pretty good! Thanks Lindsay for the order.
Other than that I just did the usual house work which always keeps me busy. My floors really needed a good scrub. And I don't know how things can get so dusty in just a few days!
Well off to work on a few more projects.

It has been ages since I've used GPO and Cubase LE together and am in need of a refresh. I've gone under VST instruments but don't know which one to choose. I have one called Garritan, one called Personal Orchestra VST (this one is having some problems as there isn't a correct file that it is currently connected to) and some Kontakt player ones as well. I've been trying the Garritan one but the instruments it is playing sure don't sound like GPO. They sound very electronic and ameaturish.
I try and go in Cubase LE under the 'e' button and it brings up Garritan Aria Player but I can't edit any of the sounds. They still play the same instrument no matter what I try and change it to. Can someone help me?

The history of the Catholic Church in Sweden
The Catholic mission in Sweden began in the early 800s with the arrival of the monk St. Ansgar. It is probable that there were already small groups of Christians in the country. These perhaps were people who had become Christian in other countries, slaves or tradesmen who had ended up in Sweden. But it is not before the beginning of the 1100s that one can speak of Sweden as a Christian country. In 1164 the Catholic Church in Sweden was organized as an ecclesiastical province. A cathedral was built in Uppsala over the relics of the martyred king Erik (1125-1160). The Church flourished and many international orders established monasteries in Sweden – the Cistercians during the 12th century and the Dominicans and Franciscans in the 13th century. St. Birgitta (1303-1373) founded the Bridgettine convent in Vadstena which became the country’s spiritual hub. She was canonized (declared a saint) in 1391. Sweden was a Catholic country until the early 1500s.
The 16th Century
Lutheranism spread during the state under King Gustav Vasa. The king was indebted to the Hanseatic League in Lübeck and needed to settle government debts. At the Diet (Riksdag) of Västerås in 1527 it was therefore decided that church property should be transferred to the Crown. The bishop Hans Brask of Linköping, resisted and was sent into exile. Relations with Rome were broken and Gustav Vasa became the head of the Swedish Church. During his reign the Catholic Church was replaced by a national Lutheran church in the nation state of Sweden. Catholic institutions were forced to cease their activities. The great monasteries were quickly dissolved; the Bridgettine Sisters were expelled from Vadstena in 1595.
The 17th Century
From 1617 onwards, it was forbidden for Swedish citizens to belong to the Catholic Church.If they broke the law the punishment was the death penalty. The Church Law of 1686 stipulated that all Swedish citizens should profess the Evangelical-Lutheran faith, and that those who refused were to be banished from the country. However, it was permissible for foreign Catholics to live in Sweden. This applied primarily to the staff of the embassies of a number of Catholic countries. The daughter of King Gustav II Adolf, Christina, Queen of Sweden, abdicated her throne in 1654 in favor of her cousin Karl Gustav in order to be able to convert to Roman Catholicism and caused a great scandal. She is one of few women buried at the Vatican.
The 18th Century
Gustav III’s Edict of Tolerance of 1781 allowed foreign Catholics who moved to Sweden to practice their religion freely but the ban on Swedes converting to the Catholic faith remained. In 1783 Pope Pius VI sent the Frenchman Nicolaus Oster to start an Apostolic Vicariate in Sweden.
The 19th Century
The Catholic Church in Sweden had a significant foreign influenceduring this time. A subject of dispute was whether sermons should be held in German, French or Italian.
Since 1873 Swedish citizens have been allowed to belong to the Catholic Church without risking exile. In 1880 about 1,000 Catholics lived in Sweden. The civil rights of Catholics were however curtailed. The last discriminatory laws were repealed in 1951; until then Catholics were not allowed to study or work as teachers, nurses or doctors.
The 20th Century
In the year 1900 about 2,500 Catholics were registered in Sweden. There were Catholic churches in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Gävle.
In 1953, Sweden became a separate diocese (Catholic Diocese of Stockholm). From 1783 to 1953 the Catholic Church in Sweden had been an Apostolic Vicariate and had come under the jurisdiction of the Pope, or more specifically the Prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. But now Johannes Erik Müller was appointed by Pope Pius XII as the first Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Stockholm, and the church of St Erik was elevated to Cathedral status. In 1957 Bishop Müller was succeeded by Danish-born Knut Ansgar Nelson who became the secondBishop of the Diocese of Stockholm.
Bishop Nelson resigned in 1962 and was succeeded that year by the American priest John Taylor OMI (Oblates of Mary Immaculate), born in Illinois, USA. Bishop Taylor's tenure was characterized by the Second Vatican Council, which began in 1962. After Bishop Taylor's death in 1976 there was a one and a half year-long vacancy.
In 1977 he was succeeded by Bishop Hubertus Brandenburg from Germany. It became Bishop Brandenburg's task to organize and build a church that grew rapidly in membership because of extensive immigration from Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Latin America and the Middle East and, later, in the 1990s, from the war-torn Balkans. To assist him the English Passionist priest William Kenney was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Stockholm and Vicar General in 1987. Bishop Brandenburg became the first Swedish bishop to welcome a pope John Paul II, to Sweden, in June 1989.
Bishop Brandenburg retired in 1998 and was succeeded by the Carmelite Anders Arborelius.
The 21st Century
During the 2000s the membership of the Catholic diocese of Stockholm increased steadily and in 2018 amounted to 122 000 registered members. It is primarily immigrants and refugees coming to Sweden that have contributed to the increase.
There are about 100 conversions to the Catholic Church in Sweden per year and this has been the case for the last decade.
In the 2000s there has been a large influx of Oriental Catholics to Sweden because of the persecution of Christians in Iraq and the war in Syria. A large group of Chaldeans have settledin Södertälje, south of Stockholm, and the diocese has collected money to build a church for them. The church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was inaugurated in December 2017.

Florida softball falls short of national title vs. ASU
Published: Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 10:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 12:19 a.m.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Florida's bid for a national title fell short when Arizona State's Dallas Escobedo became the first freshman pitcher to lead her team to a national title in 21 years.
The Sun Devils freshman held the powerful Gators to four hits as the Sun Devils won 7-2 Tuesday night to claim the championship at the Women's College World Series.
“Ultimately, it was the better team that won tonight,” Florida coach Tim Walton said.
The Gators (56-13) fell short for the second time in three years, losing to Washington in the 2009 championship.
ASU's Alix Johnson looped a single to right to drive in a pair and give the Sun Devils a 5-1 lead in the third inning.
Brittany Schutte's sacrifice fly in the first gave the Gators a 1-0 lead. The Sun Devils responded with three runs in the second, including Katelyn Boyd's two-run single to right.
Boyd ripped a single to right to drive in another run in the fifth, extending the Sun Devils' lead to 6-1.
Tiffany DeFelice singled for the Gators in the third. It wasn't until the seventh that Escobedo allowed another hit. Ensley Gammel singled and then scored when DeFelice roped a single over third base.
DeFelice went 2 for 3 with an RBI. Gammel was 1 for 3. Michelle Moultrie was 1 for 4.
Moultrie and Escobedo shared the co-Most Valuable Player award.
Florida starter Stephanie Brombacher went three innings, allowing five runs, six hits, two walks and striking out two.
“No one wants to end their career on a loss,” Brombacher said. “It's tough to swallow.
“This program's gonna do big things. I'm just proud to be a Gator.”
ASU right fielder Annie Lockwood took an extra-base hit away from Megan Bush in the fourth as she tracked down a deep fly to right at the wall.
Lockwood crushed a solo homer to left in the sixth to spot the Sun Devils a six-run lead.
Lockwood was 3 for 4. Boyd went 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Johnson was 1 for 2 with three RBIs.
“Obviously losing here is heartbreaking,” Florida senior Kelsey Bruder said. “I think (these last four years) have been the best four years of my life.”

Idea for a Saturday Night Live sketch: A group of ’80s post-punkers, famous for spiky guitar noise and grimacing intelligence, reunites to perform its most legendary album at a rock festival in 2011. The original lineup has not played a show together in 20 years. The bassist is now a college professor, the drummer owns a comic-book store, and so on. The charismatic lead singer, meanwhile, has become a surprise hit on the children’s circuit, peddling a groovified canon of kid-friendly sing-alongs to an audience of 6-year-olds. Of all the guys, he seems to have changed the most: in the dressing room he is uncharacteristically spritely, and keeps humming “Nellie the Elephant.” Also, is his voice … higher? It’s showtime, anyway, and the crowd roars—the silvering rock dudes, the love-handled ex-fanatics, the frowning young cognoscenti. But what’s the front man doing? His bandmates watch in horror as he bounces to the microphone, stares out wide-eyed, and yelps “Hey, everybody! Who else hates asparagus?!”
Has pop culture, uh, stopped? Why do the major musical developments of the past decade include Guitar Hero, reunion tours, hip karaoke, the rise of the tribute band, pop stars made entirely from bits of other pop stars, and Van Morrison re-performing Astral Weeks? Lady Gaga, bless her radical retro soul, is Cher after three weeks in Warhol’s Factory. Cee Lo is Motown with swearing. This month, even as Roger Waters breaks temporarily from his transglobal plod-through of Pink Floyd’s 32-year-old rock opera, The Wall, Roger Daltrey sallies forth with a production of The Who’s 42-year-old rock opera, Tommy. One salutes the unkillability of these gentlemen, one reveres their work, but, honestly. And wherefore this pile of rock docs and rock bios, these waves of compulsive historicization? The Making of Frampton Comes Alive! … The Making of The Making of Frampton Comes Alive! … The Making of The Making of The Making of Frampton Comes Alive! …
Early in Retromania, Simon Reynolds’s recent compendious and slightly nauseating (in a good way) account of pop-cultural backward-looking, the author visits 315 Bowery—once the site of the punk club CBGB, now a John Varvatos clothing boutique. Reynolds is on the heritage trail: he’s already been to the British Music Experience in London (“giant-size cutouts of Jarvis Cocker and Dizzee Rascal”) and Cleveland’s Rock and Rock Hall of Fame and Museum, where he gazed in discomfiture upon a single severed dreadlock from the head of Bob Marley. Now he’s on the Bowery to see the reunited New York Dolls, more than three decades after their heyday, perform inside the Varvatos store. A nightmarish sense of recursion enters the narrative as he looks around at his fellow attendees and sees “faces that seemed vaguely familiar from rock documentaries.”
Did I say “backward-looking”? That’s not quite right. Here Lot’s wife joyously turns into a pillar of salt, and Orpheus is not so much peeking over his shoulder as marching, lyre adangle, right back into the underworld. Retromania is Reynolds’s term for our obsession with, or enthrallment by, the recent past, and in marshaling his materials he instances—among other retrocities—retro porn, retro ringtones, and a Pret A Manger sandwich called “Retro Prawn on Artisan.” Reynolds writes:
Nostalgia is now thoroughly entwined with the consumer-entertainment complex. We feel pangs for the products of yesteryear, the novelties and distractions that filled up our youth … The passage of our time has become indexed to the procession of rapidly obsolescing fads, fashions, celebrity careers et al.
His particular gripe, however, is that retromania has canceled or reversed the momentum of music. Reynolds is a specialist in musical momentum. As a writer for the British weekly Melody Maker in the mid-to-late ’80s, he was a fiery tribune for the New, unmatched in his exhortations on behalf of bands like the Swiss sampler-punks Young Gods and those Texan super-loonies, the Butthole Surfers (on whose Hairway to Steven he memorably claimed to have found “a guitar solo like the dawn in orgasm”). Later he wrote the rave-culture history/manifesto Generation Ecstasy, and the exploration of post-punk avant-gardism Rip It Up and Start Again. Now he finds himself marooned in the Noughties, where pop culture runs a “deficit in newness” and everybody likes Fleet Foxes (who are similar to Crosby, Stills, and Nash). Reboots and rediscoverings—the synth, the guitar, the blues, the beard—come and go speedily, flittingly, at the rate of fashion, fashion being nothing but “a machinery for creating cultural capital and then, with incredible speed, stripping it of value and dumping the stock.”
And your iPod isn’t helping. Nor is YouTube. Nor Spotify. Music consumers now find themselves with the approximate power of the BBC’s Doctor Who, the hipster Time Lord who, on a whim, directed his TARDIS back to Sheffield, England, in 1979 to catch a performance by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. (That the Doctor—in this particular episode—mangled his coordinates and ended up in 1879, on a Scottish heath, with Queen Victoria and a werewolf, is strictly incidental.) The floating simultaneity and endless availability of all recorded music, the deadening sophistication of the average listener—these are not spurs to Art. “It’s glaringly obvious,” Reynolds writes (indisputably in my view), “that all the astounding, time-space rearranging developments in the dissemination, storing and accessing of audio data have not spawned a single new form of music.” The key word in there is data. Encoded, flattened, trimmed, compressed, and abused, music in the digital age is turning its back on us. It’s a fact, Jack: MP3s sound horrible. I suspect they are bad for your brain. Dionysus will not be treated as information.
We might of course be old farts, Reynolds and I, with old-fart ears and old-fart memories, freaked out by the world that is blossoming at our old-fart fingertips. It may be that to complain (as he does) of feeling “splayed and stuffed” when you go online is merely to say: Yes, I am middle-aged. But Retromania goes deeper. Burrowing backward in search of retro’s first cause, Reynolds traces the reactionary roots of punk rock—its claim to be rescuing rock and roll from the bloatations of the early ’70s. Jerry Nolan, drummer for our friends the New York Dolls, claimed the band was “bringing back the magic of the fifties!” Was that the beginning of the “Rift of Retro”?
It was not. Posterity may regard as the highlight of Michael Wadleigh’s 1970 documentary Woodstock not the health warning about the brown acid, but the spectacle of Sha Na Na doing “At the Hop.” This crew, at the preeminent ’60s event, surrounded by wobbly idols and dazed wielders of the zeitgeist, were shamanistically retro. Sha Na Na channeled the ’50s by overdoing them, performing cover versions—as George Leonard, the band’s brain, tells Reynolds—at “twice the speed of the originals: I insisted we do the music the way it was remembered instead of the way it was.” The singers wore gold lamé; they bopped and jived absurdly, like celebrants of a forgotten rite. They, not Jefferson Airplane, were the future, by which I mean, of course, the past. The irony that their early-morning set came right before Jimi Hendrix “immolating”—Reynolds’s word—“The Star-Spangled Banner” is almost too exquisite to bear.
So far, so Sha Na Na–nian. An English band once existed (inevitably, it has just reunited) called Pop Will Eat Itself. It was not a very good band, its genius fully exhausted by the prophetic clarion that was its name. But now pop has eaten itself. The facts—and no one has presented them as clearly as Simon Reynolds—are before us; the fix is in. What next? Out among the shimmering spires of futurity, on the other side of the retromanic moment, where “pop culture” and “youth culture” have been equally interred by Time, is it conceivable that there might be different ways of selling music, enjoying music, imagining music? It’s not conceivable by me, but then, I’m 43. Bring it on, you cheeky monkeys.

We’re on day 3 of our 4 day Natural Heritage Methodology training session, here in Fort Collins and concurrently in Virginia and Massachusetts. There are 32 participants, two thirds of which are attending here at CNHP’s office in Colorado State University. We are teleconferenced in with the other two locations, so that trainers can give their talks at any of the 3 locations, and all attendees can participate equally.
In addition to participants from CNHP, attendees represent California Academy of Sciences, California Dept. of Fish and Game, Lousiana Natural Heritage Program, Maine Natural Areas Program, Michigan Natural Features Inventory, Mississippi Museum of Natural Science/Heritage Program, Montana Natural Heritage Program, National Park Service, NatureServe, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, New York Natural Heritage Program, Parks Canada, Tennessee Valley Authority, The Nature Conservancy (Texas Chapter), US Fish and Wildlife Service, Virginia Division of Natural Heritage, Western Timberland Research, Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources, and the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database.
It has been long days full of detailed information and breakout discussions and exercises. Yesterday, we took a quick yoga break, and today we hope to break early to take field trips. Our field trip here is to the Soapstone Prairie Natural Area.

We were talking about what to have for Easter dinner, and both decided that we could skip the traditional ham or lamb. Then, I came across a recipe for Baked Pineapple Salmon from the nice folk at delish.com, and knew that our feast day question had been answered.
Fortunately, we have a most excellent fish monger and smokehouse right in the neighborhood by the name of Captain Porky’s, so I knew that the salmon would be fresh and oh, so tasty!
It also helped that prep and cooking was so simple that we could have hosted a houseful of folk, and still had plenty of time to chill and enjoy the day and our company.
•8 pineapple rings, fresh or canned
•1 large salmon fillet (about 3 lbs)
•1/4 tsp Kosher salt
•1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
•3 tbsp melted butter
•2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
•1 tbsp Sherry Peppers Sauce*
•1 tbsp pineapple juice
•Cilantro, chopped (I used parsley)
•3 garlic cloves
• 2tsp freshly grated ginger
•2 tsp toasted sesame oil
•1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
•Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
•Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
•Lime wedges, for serving
*No Sherry Peppers Sauce? No Problem! Simply add a bit of decent sherry (none of that “cooking” stuff) and a dash or three of your fave hot sauce, to taste.
Note: I am not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted fresh parsley, but, on thinking about it, basil might could be a fine replacement here as well.
Heat your oven to 350º or your grill to medium and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Combine the sauce ingredients into a large beaker or blender container and, using an immersion blender (beaker) or your blender, pulse until you have a thick sauce.
Apply cooking spray to the foil and arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer across the pan.
Place the salmon filet (I had our fish monger remove the skin) on top of the pineapple slices and brush with the sauce.
Bake or grill the salmon until it is cooked through – 20 to 25 minutes.
Note: if you grill your salmon, preheat your broiler the last five minutes or so of grilling.
Pop the pan under the broiler for two minutes, until the fish is light gold. As you might note from this image, I hadn’t thought to preheat my broiler, so – while the salmon was lovely, moist, tender, and oh! so tasty – it did not get the slight golden char I was hoping for.
Oh well. Next time.
Serve with fresh lime slices, sesame seeds, and sliced scallions.
We had a spinach salad with red onion, Cointreau macerated strawberries, and shredded green leaf lettuce on the side.
We did not miss the ham or lamb.

Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd & The Monsters.
Big Head Todd & The Monsters came to prominence in the early '90s with a string of well-received albums. The group's biggest record, 1993's Sister Sweetly, produced four Top 10 hits and sold more than a million copies.
In 2001, the band set out to make records without major-label support, and has enjoyed success independently ever since. The band has always kept in close contact with its loyal fan base: It has chartered several Caribbean and Hawaiian cruises with fans, and its latest tour offers discounted hotel rooms for fans in almost every city.
Touring behind 2007's All the Love You Need, Big Head Todd & The Monsters arrived with three of the group's original members: vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Todd Park Mohr, drummer Brian Devin and bassist Rob Squires, who have been playing together since high school. Keyboardist Jeremy Lawton joined in 2004.

Cruise Scottish Canals with Hotel Boat Willow:The Lowland Scottish canals are quiet - with no queues at locks. They take us across Scotland, 'coast to coast', and link Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres - but in between the canals are largely rural, and often very scenic. Sometimes 'river like', wildlife abounds - we frequently see Roe Deer, Kingfishers, and occasionally Dabchick. This 'Cross Scotland' canal network consists of two canals - the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, with the two routes linked together by the spectacular Falkirk Wheel. The routes are described only very briefly on this page, but described in proper detail, with maps and photos, further into this web site.
Charter Hotelboat Willow provides true private charter hotel boat holidays cruising on Scotland's lowland canals. If you come with us, you will be exclusively chartering Willow, along with your crew and hosts. There will be no other guests aboard. The guest accommodation is fully en-suite and all meals and cruise costs are included in the tariff - there are no hidden extras.
Our core business is the provision of full cruising holiday, short break, and 'weekender' hotel boat cruises (which include guest 'accommodation') but we can also supply 'One Day Charters' (ie Day Trips) from our moorings at the Falkirk Wheel. Typically such a Skippered Day Cruise would be to Linlithgow and back taking in passage up the Falkirk Wheel, some locks, the Falkirk Tunnel and the Avon Aqueduct. Lunch with morning/afternoon refreshments are all included. Click here for more details and the costs.
This first 'home page' of our website attempts to provide an outline of our service, all in one page, but can only do so in mere summary form. Perhaps a quicker way to get to the detailed information, is to glance down the menu topics on the left menu panel - and pick the information you want by menu heading.
Forth and Clyde Canal (in brief):The Forth and Clyde takes us from the Firth of Clyde (west coast) to the Firth of Forth (east coast). Over on the west side the main line of the canal passes to the north of Glasgow, but the city has its own 'canal branch' connecting it to the main line. The Forth and Clyde is deeper and wider than most UK canals, largely because it was designed for transiting sea-going vessels (avoiding the perils of a passage around the northern coast of Scotland). For much of its length it follows the line of the Antonine Wall and the Kelvin Valley, overlooked by the Campsie Fells just to the north. East of Glasgow, it seems to avoid most of the larger towns and is largely quiet - almost river like. Near to the east end of the Forth and Clyde canal we have the spectacular Falkirk Wheel.
The Falkirk Wheel is a unique piece of engineering which carries boats the 35m up/down to connect the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. On the upper level the canal takes a short tunnel, literally through the Antonine Wall, and then up a two chamber 'staircase' lock to link in with the original course of the Union Canal.
Union Canal (in brief):The Union canal is mainly rural and a winding contour canal (following the 75m contour), often skirting hillsides with panoramic views overlooking the Firth of Forth and Ochils to the north and views of the Pentland Hills to the south. It features embankments alternating with wooded cuttings, high aqueducts, a grotto like tunnel, and strange features called 'Bings'. Passing through Linlithgow, the Union canal continues our route, west to east, directly into the heart of Edinburgh city centre (Edinburgh Castle and the 'Royal Mile' are a mere 15mins walk from the city centre moorings). For a professionally produced STV video clip about Edinburgh, click this You Tube Link.
With the Scottish canals there's loads of scope for attractive cruising, walking, and canalside visits, - not to mention the spectacular Falkirk Wheel and, of course, Edinburgh's marvellous city centre. Here is the page link again for the maps, fuller descriptions, and photos 'Cruise Routes.
The Private Charter Service:Because we are a private charter service, you the client can have a greater input as to the planning of your holiday cruise - both in terms of cruise duration and the routes taken. If you wish you can elect to make it a walking/activity holiday. Perhaps help us at locks, but only if that suits. Alternatively, you can do very little - just chill out and watch the canalscape glide by from our unique all weather centrally heated bow observation cabin. Remember all meals are prepared for you (and you won't need to wash the dishes).
Coming on a charter hotel boat holiday is very different to taking either a conventional hire boat holiday, or a traditional hotel boat option. We detail those differences and describe precisely the type of charter service we offer on our page 'What is Charter'.
Hotel Boat Willow's Guest Accommodation:On Hotel Boat Willow our guests have the exclusive use of our centrally heated guest suite. This consists of bedroom area with en-suite, and dining area with adjacent split level lounge. This guest suite is approx 30ft long occupying the whole of the front half of the vessel - with separate galley and crew quarters to the rear.
Have a look at our leather seated, all weather, glazed bow observation deck - it is pretty well unique (see the photos below the right marginal 'twitter panel'). So, even if it 'chucks it down with rain' or gets a bit chilly - guests can be comfortably seated in the dry and warmth whilst they watch the canalscape glide by. But in hot weather the bow observation cabin's side doors and overhead hatches can be opened to provide that 'airy feel'.
Of course the guest suite on Willow has 240v power facilities for charging laptops, and phones etc, TV, DVD, a quadraphonic music system, and a satellite mapping display in the bow observation cabin.
Before booking a canal based hotel boat holiday do check the facilities available and the accommodation offered (and compare it with the number of guests carried). We have a detailed layout plan of our guest suite (with linked detailed photographs) on our page 'About Willow'.
The Falkirk Wheel - Our new Scottish Base:So, after a decade of Hotel Boating on the English/Welsh canal network, we have brought Willow north to cruise Scottish waters.
Why we Moved North: The extensive English canal network had loads of cruising scope - but has sadly become very boat congested during peak times. With Summer Lock Queues of 3 hours or more now common on popular routes, and the problem of boats (usually privately owned) overstaying 'visitor mooring' limits at popular locations - our cruising business was in danger of becoming 'gridlocked'. So we've moved our operation north of the border. In contrast we recently cruised coast to coast on the Forth and Clyde canal and met only one other boat - and that was in August. It sometimes seems like cruising on a 'private canal'.
The Falkirk Wheel Base: The Scottish navigation authority, 'Scottish Canals' (previously 'British Waterways Scotland') have been very helpful with the transfer of our business north of the border. Currently we are the only licensed hotel boat cruising Scotland's Lowland Canal network and 'Scottish Canals' have provided us with an exclusive mooring within the main visitor complex at the spectacular Falkirk Wheel.
And spectacular it is - the design, structure, and engineering principles of the Falkirk Wheel are unique. After dark the 'Wheel' is illuminated with spectacular lighting effects - the reflections on the waters surface at our mooring can be stunning. The Falkirk Wheel forms the junction between the Forth and Clyde canal and the Union canal, so its location as a cruising hotel boat's base is not only attractive - but very convenient. Have a look at some of our cruising destinations (all of which involve at least one passage up or down the 'Wheel'), detailed on our 'Holiday Suggestions Page' .
The Falkirk Wheel is not just a spectacular method of moving boats the 35m up and down between the two canals - it has other attractions. There is of course the Visitor Centre itself, but less well known are the walks from our moorings through woodlands to the Roman Fort on the nearby Antonine Wall.
Car Parking etc:British Waterways (Scotland) have provided us with 'safe' car parking facilities at the Falkirk Wheel complex for our own and guest vehicles. If coming to the Falkirk Wheel by car (or taxi) click on this link for a Graphic/Map ( print off an illustrative 'pdf' document). The outer gates to the complex are locked each evening at 8pm and the complex enjoys 'out of hours' on site security patrols. We also keep our own vehicle on site, so we can usually help with free transfers to/from Falkirk High railway station.
And Finally......Obviously we are a commercial concern and the prime purpose of this website has to be the attraction of potential clients. However, we also have a reputation for providing detailed canal and boating based information. So whether your interests are in booking a holiday; getting more insight into the Scottish Canals and its wildlife; or researching our narrowboat consultancy/training services - please feel free to browse - using the Menu's on the left panel of each page......
Lastly, although we ourselves are relatively new to 'social networking', we do make use of 'Twitter' and we have a facebook page. Using the 'Twitter Panel' in the right panel of this page, we can now routinely provide notes, comments, and mini updates of Willow's position or wildlife observations (in the form of 'tweets'). Because these 'tweets' can be made directly from our 'smartphone', position and 'wildlife spotting' updates will be pretty instant during the cruising season (obviously less used out of season), so why not 'follow us' - or 'Join the Conversation' - your feedback is welcomed.
For those of you travelling from abroad, clicking on the following logo will open the 'Welcome to Scotland' website (in a separate tab/window) - giving some useful Scottish Tourist Information.

We are a community-based organization
giving grants directly to teachers.
Nestled within the heart of Silicon Valley, there is a stark difference in the 12 schools we fund compared with neighboring schools in Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley and Woodside. Our students are challenged by overwhelming socioeconomic pressures and the schools are underfunded with lower teacher salaries and high turnover rates.
For generations, education has been the path for children to rise above their economic circumstances. Our vision is based on narrowing the equality gap in education by providing grants directly to teachers so their students can have the same opportunities as children in neighboring communities.
Founded in 1993, we are an all-volunteer organization with a record of granting over 93% of funds raised directly to public school teachers in the eastern Menlo Park and East Palo Alto area.
We believe geography is not destiny. All children should have access to the best education possible. The demographics illustrate how every donation matters in a community where 6 out of 10 students are English learners and nearly half of the students are homeless or housing insecure.
A striking testament to the power of our mission—several members of EPAK’s all-volunteer Board are former educators in the Ravenswood City School District.
EPAK promotes educational opportunities for public and charter school students in eastern Menlo Park and East Palo Alto. Founded in 1993, we are a private, 501(c)3 non-profit foundation; all donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
We accept applications from teachers of pre-school through 12th grade twice a year. Click here for more information.

It's the Fourth of July holiday weekend in the U.S., which means among other things somehow the entire month of June got away from me, including my 10th blogoversary. Welp, I can't do anything substantive about that just now, but I'll give it a go a bit later. In the meantime, gentle readers, amuse yerselves with this animated image from an article on the Declaration of Independence. For those who may have been wondering, the date of the document is significant: the nation's birthday.
The weekend seems a good a time to reflect on why some Americans find this foundational document racist. Or maybe the deeper question of why all Americans don't acknowledge our national original sin and engage in the difficult work to expiate it. Lately it seems a particularly urgent question, one that requires attention at the highest levels and by everyone. It was only a week ago that President Obama gave the eulogy for slain South Carolina state senator and pastor Clementa C. Pinckney.
For all that solemnity and deep thinking, my weekend has been fun thus far. It's not an irony, it's just life. The county concert and fireworks was Wednesday, there are parades and more fireworks tomorrow, not to mention the Tour de Fleece has its Grand Départ. But more on that later this weekend.

Alvin Lustig Design
By the time Alvin Lustig died at the age of forty in 1955, he had already introduced principles of Modern art to graphic design that have had a long-term influence on contemporary practice. He did this through his contributions to the design of books and book jackets, magazines, interiors, and textiles as well as his teachings. He also designed lighting, logos, advertisements and a host of other graphic material. He was a pioneer who reinvented these objects creating works of beauty through design. See more of his work at the Lustig site and get information on buying posters. Also check out the reproduction process at Flickr.

Ever more research is showing that food addiction can be a powerful force that strongly influences eating choices. Much like substance-abuse disorders, neuroscience research is showing how consuming certain foods trigger reward centers in the brain much like addictive drugs do.
The commonalities between the two – substance-abuse and food addiction – are quite striking. And what drives both has everything to do with the level of processing.
This is what researchers from the University of Michigan’s Food and Addiction Science & Treatment Lab concluded in a recent study:
“Addictive substances are rarely in their natural state, but have been altered or processed in a manner that increases their abuse potential…addictive substances are altered to increase the rate at which the addictive agent is absorbed into the bloodstream.”
And as Michael Moss detailed in his investigation of major food companies, food processing involves deliberate manipulation of salt, sugar and fat content to maximize taste to keep consumers coming back for more.
One example is sugar. Highly processed, sugary foods, compared to naturally occurring foods, are more likely to induce a blood sugar spike. This blood sugar spike is important because its these high glucose levels that activate areas of the brain that are involved with addiction. (See Robert Lustig’s work for more on this topic. Or better yet, just watch the documentary Fed Up. It’s now on Netflix.)
Let’s go back to that University of Michigan study. Researchers conducted two separate studies using two different samples, but asked the same basic question: are certain types of food more “problematic” than others (in terms of propensity to over-indulge beyond control)?
The first study included 120 undergraduate students at the University of Michigan. About two-thirds were female and almost 75% were Caucasian. Students were asked a series of hypothetical questions and showed a series of pictures of different foods to see which foods students indicated as most likely to be consumed in an addictive way.
Here’s the list. Some of the top, most-problematic foods aren’t too surprising. They’re all the “guilty pleasures” we think of.
Most importantly, as the authors concluded, “highly processed foods with added levels of fat and/or refined carbohydrates (like white flour and sugar), were most likely to be associated with addictive-like eating behaviors”
The researchers also conducted a similar exercise with a much broader sample of 400 people ranging in age from 18 to 65 years old. Not too shocking, they found very similar results. Many of the same foods indicated by students as the most addictive were similar to those in the second study.
Researchers made a similar conclusion based on the results of the second study, “processing, fat, and GL [glycemic load] [were] predictive of whether a food was associated with problematic, addictive-like eating behavior”
Interestingly, the researchers also found that individuals with an elevated BMI [body mass index] reported greater difficulties with highly processed foods. Also, men indicated more problems with controlled eating when consuming some unprocessed foods like steak, nuts, and cheese compared to women.
So what’s the main point?
Well, I think there are a couple important points. First, food addiction is a real thing. People perceive certain foods to be more problematic than others. And this perception is equally as important as the actual biological response. And second, the level of processing of food matters. If you’re trying to exert more control over your eating choices a good place to start would be to eat as much real food as possible.

Warning equipment needs the approval of the railway operator, if it does not itself supply this, since it can affect railway operation. As a rule, audible warning equipment is used, but visual warning equipment can be used in the dark. When deciding between a multi-tone horn and a loud volume horn it is important to ensure that the signal sound level is approximately 10 dB(A) above the ambient noise level. It must be established by a hearing test under the least favourable conditions to be expected (e.g. neighbourhood noise, trains passing on the other track, wearing ear protectors) that warnings are audible.
Multi-tone signal horn
The multi-tone signal horn must be carried by the lookout man even if the loud volume horn or electrical warning equipment is available. Should a piece of warning equipment fail, it should still be possible to warn the workers with the multi-tone signal horn. It is used where there is little noise and no loud equipment or where no machines are in use. These are mostly small work sites, for which only one lookout man is necessary in the immediate vicinity of the workers. As the mouthpiece can be frozen up with saliva residues, rain or snow in winter, it is always necessary to perform a functional check before working.
Loud volume horn (Tremolo)
The warning instrument "loud volume horn" is often used in railways, because it has a much greater range than a multi-tone signal horn. The signal is caused by the operation of the noise emitting knob by turning the handle up to 90° downward. The CO2 feed in both horns produces a mixed sound. If the loud volume horn has been in service for a long time, servicing and maintenance is necessary. However, a functional test must be done on this piece of warning equipment before the start of work and an audibility test must be performed.
Carrying out an audibility test
If an audibility test has been satisfactorily completed, the safety supervisor and the project manager should consider whether the least favourable acoustic conditions were present:
- the machines must be run under full load (maximum speed of the motors/engines).
- the machines must be used in accordance with their intended purpose (for example, when grinding or cutting of rails).
- trains must pass on the adjacent track.
In order to perform the audibility test while the machines are working, the supervisor must assess whether a neighbouring lookout men can hear the gang warning signal. The supervisor and the lookout should agree on hand signals for better communication. By lifting their hands, the workers signal in the noise level of the work place that they have clearly heard the gang warning signal. Only after ensuring the audibility of the gang warning signals by all workers, work should be carried out.
The whistle is used as a warning instrument to warn workers and train drivers in rail transport and protect them from danger. The whistle has a very high tone (frequency), which can be heard even by people wearing ear muffs that are used with very loud tool and machine noise.
Warning and signal lamps
These lamps are used in the dark or when working in a tunnel if protection with several lookout men is necessary. Instead of a hand-signal a bright white hand lamp is held at head height as confirmation that a given signal has been received. The hand light can be switched to show a red light. In case of danger, a circular signal can be shown to the train.
In an emergency, the lookout man can give a circular signal with the signal flag and run towards the train so that the driver can make an emergency brake application and give the warning signal. In this case, workers could still leave the track area if there is any danger. The signal flag is held outside the case or inside in such a way that by pulling it out it is immediately recognizable as such.
Circular signal for the indication of an emergency
A white-red-white flag or a red-and-white signal flag, another object or the arm is swung in a circle.
A hand lamp or a lantern should show a red sign or a bright object that is swung in a circle.
The circular signal is given when a train or a shunting movement must immediately be brought to a stand.


He told Trump in his letter that he and the president share something: “relentless and false attacks on our reputation by the liberal media.” And he asked the president to help “put aside the media’s false claims about me and help me expose the truth of what happened at the Upper Big Branch (UBB) coal mine.”
Reached by phone Tuesday, Blankenship’s attorney declined to comment on the letter.
Blankenship, former chief executive of Massey Energy Company, was convicted in 2015 for conspiring to violate federal mine safety and health standards at Upper Big Branch. In 2016, he was sentenced to a year in federal prison, the maximum sentence allowed for his misdemeanor conviction. Federal prison records show that he was released last week.
As The Washington Post reported, a federal investigation revealed “multiple examples of systematic, intentional, and aggressive efforts” by Massey, which owned and operated the mine, “to avoid compliance with safety and health standards, and to thwart detection of that noncompliance by federal and state regulators.”
Another investigation, commissioned by then-West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin III (D), found “the explosion was the result of failures of basic safety systems identified and codified to protect the lives of miners.”
The company’s ventilation system did not adequately ventilate the mine. As a result, explosive gases were allowed to build up. The company failed to meet federal and state safe principal standards for the application of rock dust. Therefore, coal dust provided the fuel that allowed the explosion to propagate through the mine. Third, water sprays on equipment were not properly maintained and failed to function as they should have. As a result, a small ignition could not be quickly extinguished.
In his letter to Trump, Blankenship argued that the findings were not accurate and that “the truth needs to be told about what happened” at Upper Big Branch.
In particular, he criticized the findings from the investigation the governor commissioned, saying that the governor at the time had chosen one person, Davitt McAteer, who served as assistant secretary of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration under President Bill Clinton, to conduct the investigation. He also said the investigation’s conclusions were “not confirmed by forensics, chemistry, nor by an explosion expert’s scientific research.”
McAteer said Tuesday that he was not chosen to conduct the investigation alone, instead putting together a panel to “systematically go through and find out where Blankenship was involved and how much he was involved in the running and operation of the mine, and it pointed the finger of responsibility to him.”
McAteer said that numerous coal miners are killed on the job each year and that Blankenship is one of the first people in a supervisory or ownership position to have served time in prison in the past 50 years.
“I think it’s important to recognize that, currently, there’s very limited criminal liability on the part of mine operators,” McAteer said.
Lawmakers, including Manchin, now a U.S. senator, have tried and failed to push through legislation requiring harsher criminal penalties for those who violate safety standards.
Blankenship told Trump that lawmakers need to pass legislation to “improve America’s mine safety laws and to divide the Mine Safety and Health Administration into two separate agencies,” one as a regulatory agency and the other an accident investigation arm.
“That legislation will allow America’s coal miners to mine coal at less risk to themselves,” he wrote.

The highest-rated drama in BBC history, Call the Midwife will delight fans of Downton Abbey
Viewers everywhere have fallen in love with this candid look at post-war London. In the 1950s, twenty-two-year-old Jenny Lee leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in London's East End slums. While delivering babies all over the city, Jenny encounters a colorful cast of women—from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives, to the woman with twenty-four children who can't speak English, to the prostitutes of the city's seedier side.
An unfortgettable story of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the strength of remarkable and inspiring women, Call the Midwife is the true story behind the beloved PBS series, which will soon return for its sixth season.
Jennifer Worth trained as a nurse at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading. She then moved to London to train as a midwife. She later became a staff nurse at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, and then ward sister and sister at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in Euston. Music had always been her passion, and in 1973 Jennifer left nursing in order to study music intensively, gaining the Licentiate of the London College of Music in 1974 and a Fellowship ten years later. Jennifer married Philip Worth in 1963 and they lived together in Hertfordshire. She died in May 2011, leaving her husband, two daughters and three grandchildren. Her memoirs are the basis for the popular TV series Call the Midwife.From Publishers Weekly :
Worth gained her midwife training in the 1950s among an Anglican order of nuns dedicated to ensuring safer childbirth for the poor living amid the Docklands slums on the East End of London. Her engaging memoir retraces those early years caring for the indigent and unfortunate during the pinched postwar era in London, when health care was nearly nonexistent, antibiotics brand-new, sanitary facilities rare, contraception unreliable and families with 13 or more children the norm. Working alongside the trained nurses and midwives of St. Raymund Nonnatus (a pseudonym she's given the place), Worth made frequent visits to the tenements that housed the dock workers and their families, often in the dead of night on her bicycle. Her well-polished anecdotes are teeming with character detail of some of the more memorable nurses she worked with, such as the six-foot-two Camilla Fortescue-Cholmeley-Browne, called Chummy, who renounced her genteel upbringing to become a nurse, or the dotty old Sister Monica Joan, who fancied cakes immoderately. Patients included Molly, only 19 and already trapped in poverty and degradation with several children and an abusive husband; Mrs. Conchita Warren, who was delivering her 24th baby; or the birdlike vagrant, Mrs. Jenkins, whose children were taken away from her when she entered the workhouse.
