Family photos are such a treasure for the relatives to share. However, there are others in a hometown that would love to look over vintage photos of citizens, places and events where their ancestors also lived.
For a year, I went to the descendants of pioneer families in Stuart, Florida (just north of West Palm Beach) to gather and scan their collections of photos (including postcards), many of which had been tucked away in albums and closets for decades. With hundreds of images to select from I got them researched, labeled and assembled them in a chronological order based on decades.
Several of the photos were common scenes of places in Stuart especially during its early years of the 1910s and 1920s. It was amazing to view while going through the collection of photos, there were many that few people had ever seen before. Each photo or image on a postcard told a piece of Stuart’s history. What was interesting was to view the same locations in town and how they had or had not changed over the decades. Added also were photos I took of some vintage artifacts from Stuart’s history.
All this information and images were arranged and submitted to Arcadia Publishing out of S. C. for their series ‘Images of America’ (a 25-year-old series showcasing small, medium-sized and large towns and cities across the United States). The final print of the book on Stuart, covering from 1890s to early 1950s was released Monday, September 26, 2016 with the book signing party held at the historic 1901 Stuart Heritage Museum.
Now not only local residents and visitors but families (living elsewhere) who had ancestors from Stuart can have documented in print and photos the places, events and people for this town along Florida’s east coast. The town has affectionately been known for over 110 years as ‘Stuart-on-the St. Lucie’.
So if you had tried to search for vintage images of your ancestors’ hometowns, this is one place to look. Search also using county and state names where your ancestors lived. Arcadia Publishing’s online site allows you to search to see what towns and locations are already part of ‘Images of America’ series.
Photos: Young couple out for a drive July 1917; Stuart along the St. Lucie River and the fishing docks in the 1910s; Downtown Stuart main street about 1950 and the front cover of the book.

We’ve only seen two trailers for Disney’s upcoming animated film Big Hero 6, but the marketing team has been quietly making the promotional rounds by holding film panels during the D23 Expo and Comic-Con. But if you are looking for something more extensive and in-depth, we’ve got it all right here. Earlier this summer we were invited to Disney Animation Studios in Burbank to look at the animation process that goes into a film like Big Hero 6. Our behind-the-scenes look also included an interview with directors Don Hall and Chris Williams, and producer Roy Conli.
Hall (Winnie The Pooh) was the first to be named director back in 2011, and Williams (Bolt) was named co-director December 2013. While the two have different aspects from a personality standpoint, the their love of Disney Animation and the source material brought them together for this project.
Our interview reveal a number of things, like did you know that a research trip to Carnegie Hall helped shaped the Baymax character? How about the number of Japanese Animes that influenced the film? How they managed to balance the work between two directors? How many times the story changed throughout the years? What it was like to work with Marvel on this film? Read all about that and more after the jump.
What are some of the biggest differences between what you’ve made and the source material?
Don Hall: This movie is Disney animation, and it is inspired by Marvel Comics as far as the title and most of the character names. But early on when we first started talking with those awesome dudes over at Marvel, they really encouraged us to make this our own. Take what you want from this material, but do you thing with it. Like I said, the title and the character names, but because we went in this fictional world, this mash up of San Fransisco and Tokyo, that is strictly our creation, it is automatically just severed the ties with the Marvel Universe
Chris Williams: Yeah, they are really encouraging ans supportive. And the not having the Marvel on it was part of the original agreement on it, it wasn’t something that evolved during the process.
Were there any inspirations that you pulled from not just the source material, but Japanese animation as well?
Hall: There is too many too talk about. I mean [Hayao] Miyazaki is a huge…
Hall: Yeah. But we looked at several things early on. I watched Akira. It’s such a classic. There are so many people here that love, not only Disney Animation, but also anime and comic books. So it’s just naturally – it wasn’t just one thing we looked at, you know we are all into that.
Roy Conli: I think the anime thing, the richness of the emotional life in this film is what I really love. It’s balanced with this wonderful humor, and this wonderful comic book action that takes place.
Williams: I think being somewhat inspired by anime allows us to push the action scenes a bit further, but I do think movies like [My Neighbor] Totoro, that the relationship in that movie I see a lot of Baymax and Hiro. I think we are all a bit inspired by Totoro, we all go back to it, and there is something about that sweet and naive character that Baymax and Totoro have in common.
Hall” We knew that we were kind of – in addition to a a story that is based on a Marvel comic, we were also telling a kid and a robot story. So we watched a lot of those. It was very clear to me early on that it was vital to this movie that we come up with something unique for the robot, you can’t do, it’s been done so many times, and that’s what led to that first research trip to Carnegie [Mellon]. That’s were we found Baymax – the soft robotics. Right then and there – that’s our guy. I’ve never seen that before in a movie, and it sort of spun from there.
Williams: Didn’t you say in your research in Japan, they said, robots can be good, they can be nice.
Hall: Yeah. You know, watching a lot of movies, reading a lot of things, just a my own perceptions of western and eastern cultures, and that technology, a lot of times in western cultures, the robots are the villain the antagonist. You look at terminator, and computers are taking over the world, like they are the villain. In Japan it is actually the opposite, like technology is sort of our path to a better future. Those thematic ideas run through the movie. But it is also interesting to talk to the different robotists about what they – inspired them to get them into that field, a lot of them, sort of more western American guys cite “I played with them as a kid,” and every Japanese kid would say Giantor, or whatever, it was always animated robots.
This movie is very coming of age, and while there is a large ensemble, there is definitely a marketing push on Baymax, and of course marketing and merchandise that plays a large part in Disney, so did you know that Baymax would be the one that would be the center of this honor?
Hall: We are strictly marketing driven. It was all kind of organic. When we came back from that research trip, and saw the soft robotics, and then the sort of character of a health care robot emerged from that, because the soft robotics – the practical app for that would be in the health care industry. When we are all old we are going to be taken care of by a Baymax. His personality emerged from that, and the idea of asking “on a scale of one to ten what is you pain,” all that kind of stuff, kind of came fully formed from that idea. As we worked on it, we made it more sentient and obviously eager. Early on he was sort of a breakout character for us. We knew he was the one to be the most solid, and we built around him, sort of the MVP.
Williams: We spend years in this room talking about story and don’t think anyone – what are people going to respond to two years from now, three years from now, what do we love right now, what do we respond to, what do we care about. We all really love Baymax, this character that is completely sweet and good and pure, and you almost inspire to be as selfless and good as Baymax is, and that idea of a newborn who is experiencing the world for the first time, and only sees things in that pure and simple way, is what attracted us from the story stand point, and the way that other characters could bounce off of him, that was my entry point to loving that character, and knowing that Hiro and Baymax was going to be an incredible – not only incredible comedy duo, but also really solid, and the idea that hero suffers this this loss and this robot is there to fill the void, there was something so potent about that was going to be the absolute center of this film.
Conli: From a studio stand point, the studio has never pointed the finger at us and said “make us something for marketing.” In the 21 years that I have been here, it’s always been a story driven studio. How you market it evolves the story.
Williams: Yeah, it’s John that permeates through the whole building. It’s never this calculation of what are going to come to see, it’s always “what do I love, what do I respond to,” and he talks in those terms, and we talk in those terms. And it’s nice to see that in John, that he is never thinking long those lines. He is really an emotional guy, and a passionate guy, and he cares about these movies very deeply, but he is never a marketing guy, and that is a pleasure to work with.
Hall: I don’t even know how you could do that, because Baymax didn’t – he evolved out of something, he evolved out of a research trip, he wasn’t like when we first started taking the comic books and being inspired by it, there is no Baymax the healthcare provided soft robotics in comic books, and it’s strictly research. You can’t predict that kind of stuff, but that’s what I love about research, that you are sent off in the wild. There is no story at that time, there may be sort of a loose overall idea of what it may be, but there is no story. John really believes that research, that you will find that story during your research, and Baymax is case in point. That first one, and we – there was no healthcare robot, it just came out of a arm.
Williams: John never says pitch me this story. He never says what’s the beginning, middle, and end. He wants to know what it is roughly about, and wants to talk about the world, the potential of where the story could go, and your allowed over the years, and many iterations what the thing is going to be. It’s a great way to work. I think it’s part of why we’ve had this wide variety of kinds of movies that come out.
So what was that pitch?
Hall: July of 2011, I was doing the Carnegie Mellon research trip, we had already decided on Big Hero 6. It was a little conversation I had with John about finding something within the Marvel treasure trove, and I just finished up Winnie the Pooh, and he was excited, and I was excited. So we put together this thing. And based on being a comic book fan as a kid to just looking on their wikipage. Big Hero 6 I never read the comics as a kid, I just saw the title. We talked to Marvel, and I presented it to John, and I think it was the potential for – the characters were really fun, the tone of the original comic was kind of light, you can tell that the creators of the original comic were doing it as a love letter to Japanese pop culture as opposed to bad ass superheroes. That love of Japanese culture got woven into this superhero story. SO that really inspired me, as was the potential of this emotional story between this 14-year old super genius and his robot named Baymax, which at the time, like I said, was not a healthcare robot. I think just because we have been so immersed in those kind of stories, me and John thought that could be a great relationship for a story.
Conli: And what’s cool is that its a celebration of nerds.
So how many times did the story change, and did you ever go back and add things you took out or vice versa?
Hall: That one is tough to answer because that is what story, story is change. I think the best way to think about it is a lot of really fantastic ingredients, ours, these characters, there’s a boy and a robot story, the superhero origins team story, so there is a lot of these elements, and trying to make the “soup” taste good with all these ingredients, and its about what you have,and what amount. But we always knew the story was going to hang on Hiro and Baymax. That was the emotional core of the movie. Nothing else would work until that was solved.
Conli: It was all about balance. There was so many good things you could tell stories about, finding which way – and it’s balance between characters too. You make Hiro a little snarky, he’s unlikeable. You make him a little soft, he’s unlikeable. So where is that line? Same thing, how sentient is Baymax, how robotic is he? Those are all questions that come up, and it’s moving dials through the process.
Williams: To Donny’s point, the story is constantly evolving, we have five or six screenings internally along the way. But even in between the screenings, there is constant challenging of assumptions. The movie is always improving, and it is to put it up and figure out what is working and what isn’t working, and get a better vantage point of what the movie is going to be. It was changing in little ways everyday.
Hall: The screenings I always equate it to awkward photographs of you when you’re a preteen. You know like whatever it is, 12, 13, there is always that, and a screening is kind of like that, you’re always showing everyone in the studio your awkward teen photo. But eventually you work your way through that and it becomes this beautiful handsome glorious thing.
Williams: The nice thing is we have these screenings, no one is ever going to see them except for people in here, we know it is just a tool to find a movie. And the great thing with this environment is there is constant challenge, everyone understands you’re making it work, and it’s okay if it’s not perfect, nothing can be perfect.
Hall: That freak everyone out.
Williams: What is perfect, it’s just keep making everything better and better and better, and really just finding the movie, and having a better picture in your head about what the movie is suppose to be with each iteration. With John Lasseter and the other directors here it’s a great place to be because we all take turns being that person, there’s screenings, and you’re proud with some of it, and you’re not proud of other parts of it, and you’re figuring it out as you go, and everyone is there to challenge you and ask you what your intentions are, but also offer you support and understanding, and we relied on other directors coming in, and storyboarding scenes from us, and the heart of our process, and we in turn do that for other movies, and it really is a collaborative environment here that is unbelievable. And the support between productions, and between directors that is unlike any other place.
So all these months later, your eyes get stale watching this, but there comes a point where you have all seen it to a certain extent, but how much are your senses heightened when you’re watching or listening to us watching the movie?
Hall: Constantly, we are constantly looking for a new audience to watch out for. It’s a weird thing, that happens, there is sort of a mass psychosis when you are watching it with a mass audience. We’ll watch it in editorial ourselves, and we are not the greatest audience, but when you watch it with other people who haven’t seen it before, and you kind of see it through them. So I think we are always hungry for that kind of experience to see it through other people’s eyes.
Williams: It can be challenging because we can show a screening of the same movie five or six iterations, and it is the same audience over and over, and so by the third or fourth screening its dead, and you start saying “but that joke killed a year and a half ago,” and that’s where it is important to bring in fresh eyes. We will try to make a point of bringing in fresh audience, then you remember you can laugh but also feel engagement, and that actually is more important when watching with a fresh audience. It’s nice to hear the laughs. But when you hear that “aw” that’s like “yes, we did it,” people are losing themselves in this world with these characters, and that to me when was when we get that we did our job.
What was the collaborative effort was like?
Williams: We tried to stay together as much as possible, sometimes production needs we would sort of split off, we tried to stay every much in touch with each other a constant back and forth. We spent a lot of time in this room together with the group, and a lot of times just balancing ideas off each other, sort of testing off ideas off each other, so we were physically together for duration of this movie.
Hall: We were together for as much as we could, and at a certain point during production we had to split a little bit, only because we were here around the clock.
Conli: It’s a big thing. Because you have to wrap them into what we just did, there is a lot of communication on hallways, in between meetings. We also have little before certain meetings we have half an hour of here they get together for brain storming.
So did one director go back and change something without the other one knowing?
Hall: It was never like that. Are you trying to start something between us? We would perhaps have a discussion, again it is sort of that fresh eyes thing or “you weren’t there when this decision was made so you may question it,” and that’s within each other’s right to do that. If you have an issue you need to bring it to the table.
Conli: These guys are pretty much in sync. They both offer different aspects from a personality standpoint, I think intellectually they are equals, but they do have really great instincts, and there is a lot of respect for each other.
Did you have to change some aspects of the story in order to adapt to the constant technological changes?
Conli: Well, we basically reinvented our rendering system here. So it’s a totally new rendering system. We literally were handing by our finger nails waiting for that lighting system.
Hall: We kind of held hands on this one.
Conli: Technology is kind of like the story process, it is constantly changing. Literally when were looking at the film six months ago, there were little speckles everywhere. They were hopeful. Hopeful speckles.
Williams: We are masochists here. You guys saw the effects stuff. You saw what this movie was going to be. This looks really hard, and that’s awesome. And our technology people, the culture of this place is constantly pushed and improve, and challenge. Everybody here, that’s what we expect of ourselves, and that’s what we expect of each other. I think that’s why the movie turned out the way it is.
Hall: The Mircobots took a while to crack, but it is giving that department ownership over something really big, sort of esthetic choice for a movie, they are sort of a character. So they are not just doing the sort of typical things effects things does, you know water, smoke, they are doing that too, but what I like about working in animation is challenging that department, with something they can take on and create on their own. Something that comes out of that department. And just stuff and climax…
Conli: What until you see the climax
Williams: Yeah, you guys haven’t seen nothing yet. It is amazing.
Conli: The effects are magnificent.
Hall: Yeah, what they are doing is taking something and creating it, and I love challenging them, and just like challenging the animators with something like Baymax like, meh he’s not going to have a mouth. You got a basically a blank canvas to act with to which to act with. Finding those blinks when they became so imporant, and the timing of the blinks. So it was fun challenging those departments.
Williams: And they all push each other, the animators, the different departments. The animators will see see the lighting – “oh my gosh, my animation has to live up to that lighting,” the layout artists will look at that animation and vice versa and be so inspired by it and by each other and the level the different departments are at, and they want to be at that level as well, and so it is nice for us to be in the middle of people who are so dedicated.
Conli: It’s kind of a cool thing with CG too. Working within CG pipeline we go back and change the camera all the time. We adjust camera, once it gets to animation, if it is better to open it up, if it is better actually move the camera, we will go in and do that.
Hall: It’s super collaborative. In animation dallies, there is somebody from layout whose sole job is just to adjust camera. Likewise with effects, there is somebody from effects as well where guys are doing mircobots, because animators might block something out with just blocks, so the intent was there, but the effects animator and Eric Daniels was there too.

The Point of Care Exchange is designed to help healthcare providers save time, improve care and reduce costs. It supports the safe and secure exchange of a limited set of information from your electronic patient chart, which may include:
- Medical history
- Immunization dates
- Radiology reports
- Lab and test results
Worried about privacy and security? Don’t be.
Protecting patient information within the Point of Care Exchange is top priority. Information is tightly secured by your provider’s IT system – and can only be shared in accordance with State and Federal laws to protect patient information – including HIPPA privacy and security rules.
What does this mean to my family and me?
Consenting to allow your health information to be shared between your healthcare providers offers major benefits, including:
- Emergency Treatment
Medical staff immediately knows about your allergies, health problems, medications and prior visits, helping them care for you without delay.
- Well-Informed Providers
Participating doctors will have immediate access to important information. Knowing more about you before they recommend treatments helps you avoid unnecessary tests and procedures, medical mistakes and costly medical bills.
- Improved Care Across Multiple Providers
Access to information about care you received elsewhere gives a better, more complete picture of your health. Your care providers can make sure the treatment they give doesn’t interact badly with other treatments you may be receiving.
What does this mean to my provider?
- Improved Care
Viewing specific medical history — including lab history medication and immunization histories — helps your provider make better decisions about your care.
- Increased Efficiency
Have you ever been asked to complete the same medical tests over again? Have you ever waited while your provider and staff searched for key information about your care? The Point of Care Exchange will help eliminate those problems and make the entire care experience more efficient for everyone.
- Significant Technology Transitions
Switching from paper-based to electronic systems is an important undertaking – but one that obviously doesn’t happen overnight. The complex process involves many people, and can take months to complete. As always, remain engaged in every aspect of your health and healthcare. Encourage your provider to adopt EHR technology, if they have not already done so.

|South Africa bat in second Test|
|PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AFP), 2013/04/19 08:16:13 ,||
South Africa made one change from the team that won the first Test in Cape Town by an innings and 27 runs. Rory Kleinveldt replaced fellow pace bowler Vernon Philander, who is recovering from a hamstring strain.
New Zealand showed two changes. Left-arm fast bowler Neil Wagner replaced veteran Chris Martin, while batsman Colin Munro came in for all-rounder James Franklin, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
There was a good covering of grass on the pitch but batting conditions were expected to be good with a light westerly wind blowing across the ground, which tends to negate swing and flatten out the pitch.

This bundle includes electric energy notes in both PowerPoint and Word format, 6 electric circuit worksheets with answer keys, and an electric conductors and insulators lab. I use all of this with my 5th graders, though it could be used for other grade levels as well depending upon your curriculum.
There are several worksheets included...
1. Creating A Circuit - Students draw complete circuits as they discover them through hands on activity.
2. Will It Light? - Students look at various circuits and decide whether they are complete or incomplete. There is space for students to explain their reasoning. Different configurations are given, including both parallel and series circuits, though those terms are not used (you can have your students use those words in their explanations if you'd like).
3. Pick What's Lit - Students look at various circuits and decide which light bulbs will stay lit if a certain wire is cut. Includes both parallel and series circuits, though those terms are not used on the worksheet.
4. Light It Up! - Several incomplete circuits are shown, and students explain what has to be done to "fix" the circuit and make it complete.
5. Light Bright - Two circuits are given, and students write a paragraph explaining which circuit will have the brightest bulbs based on the configuration.
6. Electric Circuits Quiz - Ten questions about circuits. Mostly multiple choice, with one question where students have to finish drawing a complete circuit.
Answer keys are included.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Almost never is 14 percent support considered a victory.
A shareholder resolution, proposed by Jim Evans and supported by the Missouri Sierra Club, received a nearly 14 percent favorable vote at Thursday’s annual meeting of Empire District Electric Co.’s shareholders. Evans called the vote a “full-fledged victory.” Harry Alper, an organizer with the Missouri Sierra Club, said the favorable votes represent 3.2 million shares of Empire stock.
Empire spokeswoman Amy Bass characterized the result as a win for the utility, with more than 86 percent of votes cast against the resolution, as the board of directors had asked shareholders to do.
The resolution would have directed Empire to provide shareholders with a report of actions the company is taking in the area of energy efficiency. It relates to the 2009 Missouri Energy Efficiency Investment Act, which allows utilities to recover costs of energy efficiency program investments.
Evans and Alper said the vote far exceeds the 3 percent threshold required to bring the resolution back next year to shareholders.
Evans, of Republic, said because the Joplin-based utility’s board issued a statement opposing the resolution, shareholders were inclined to vote against it.
“There is the full force of the company against it,” Evans said by phone after the vote. “They essentially tell shareholders to vote against it. The fact that we got 14 percent is pretty encouraging.”
Evans said the vote puts pressure on Empire to avoid another vote next year.
“They are probably going to go ahead and go forward with what we’re asking for anyway,” Evans said. He said he had faith that the utility would do the right thing and that he wouldn’t need to propose the resolution next year.
Bass said Empire already had planned to make a filing under the state law in the fall when the shareholder resolution was presented. Empire made a filing in 2012 that was withdrawn so that information could be updated.
An Empire news release after the vote Thursday said the company currently offers many energy efficiency programs for customers. The list provided included a low-income weatherization and high-efficiency program, and the Home Performance with Energy Star Program.
Evans said he has owned Empire stock since the 1980s and that he’s not someone who bought a few shares in order to be a thorn in the company’s side. He said his motivation is to keep Empire viable into the future.
“I’m a fan of Empire,” Evans said.
Evans said during a news conference before the vote that he powers his house with solar power and has an electric car.
“My home and my car use less electricity than my solar collectors generate,” Evans said, noting that he is a power producer, a customer and a shareholder. He said the dividends he receives from his Empire stock amount to less than the $300 a year in electric bills he pays as an Empire customer.
He said he produces an average of 12,500 kilowatt-hours of energy annually.
During the news conference, Alper said that other utilities are investing far more in energy efficiency measures than Empire is. He praised the investments made by Ameren Missouri and Kansas City Power & Light, which plan to invest $147 million and $41 million, respectively, in energy efficiency programs over the next three years.
EMPIRE DISTRICT ELECTRIC CO. on Thursday reported first-quarter consolidated earnings of $12.6 million, or 30 cents per share, compared with 2012 first-quarter earnings of $9.8 million, or 23 cents per share. Weather was the primary driver of increased revenue, the company reported.

SEATLLE — Public schools in Washington will be required to teach students about the contributions and history of LGBTQ+ people under a new law signed by Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday.
Senate Bill 5462 mandates that school districts in Washington adopt curricula that include “diverse, equitable, inclusive, age-appropriate instructional materials” that reflect the history and perspectives of historically underrepresented groups.
State learning standards already direct schools to teach students about the historical perspectives of some marginalized groups, such as tribal communities and enslaved people, but did not explicitly require lessons covering LGBTQ+ histories.
“The contributions of gay Washingtonians deserve recognition, and just as importantly, students deserve to see themselves in their schoolwork,” Sen. Marko Liias, a Democrat from Edmonds who sponsored the bill, said in a statement. “That leads to better attendance, better academic achievement and better overall quality of life, ensuring success for all our students.”
Washington joins six other states — California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey and Oregon — that have similar requirements for academic curricula to include representation of LGBTQ+ people in public schools.
Wave of bans
The new law comes at a time when school boards and libraries across the country have faced a wave of Republican-led book and curriculum bans on content related to LGBTQ+ people and people of color.
“Right now, with the attacks from the extreme right, we’re finding LGBTQ people, especially youth, are feeling unsafe,” said Jaelynn Scott, executive director of the Lavender Rights Project, a Seattle-based LGBTQ+ legal advocacy organization.
“It’s important Washington state shows itself as a leader affirming inclusive curriculum for students,” Scott said.
The bill passed in both chambers without any Republican support. Opponents had argued the bill infringes on the rights of parents and powers of local school districts to decide what their kids learn in the classroom.
Benefits of education
In schools where students learned about LGBTQ+ people, history and events, LGBTQ+ students were less likely to hear homophobic or transphobic remarks and less likely to miss school because they felt unsafe, according to a 2021 national survey from GLSEN, an LGBTQ+ education advocacy group. Those students also had better mental health and academic performance, the survey found.
Additionally, LGBTQ+ middle and high school students who learned about LGBTQ+ history or people in class reported lower rates of suicide attempts in the last year, according to a 2023 study from the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ youth.
“A positive school environment (has) a large impact on the health and well-being of students, even more so than work and home environments,” Scott said.
How the law will take effect
Under the law, the Washington State School Directors’ Association, with assistance from the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, will create a model policy and procedure on how to design courses and select instructional materials by June 2025. Then, by October of that year, schools will have to update their policies to incorporate the new curricula.
In other states with inclusive curricula on LGBTQ+ history, schools teach about landmark Supreme Court cases, like Obergefell v. Hodges, which guaranteed a right to same-sex marriage in 2015, or how LGBTQ+ subcultures became more visible and accepted during the Prohibition era.

These data apply to the behaviour of transactions in the historic centre, which includes the parishes of Santa Maria Maior, Misericórdia and São Vicente.
In the long term, according to Ci, housing prices in the historic core “remain in negative territory, with a year-on-year adjustment of -1.1% in the first half of 2020,” which shows an improvement in the real estate market in Portugal, compared to the previous semester, when this indicator was -3.4%, which shows a decrease in the year-on-year appreciation that has been sustained since 2015.
Although housing prices might have increased, the sale of properties increased by 23% in May, which means that even during the confinement period, the market in Portugal was able to maintain a significant activity level.
Lisbon was also highlighted as a housing market that will gear up for recovery after the pandemic the world is facing, next to major cities like New York, Sydney, London, and Auckland.
The rapid response by the government to the crises and a relatively limited number of cases are incentives for incoming investors to search for a house in Portugal. Hence, Portugal’s lockdown period saw a remarkable rise in applicants for the Portugal Golden Visa. Investments surpassed €146 million only in May (an increase of 192% compared to May 2019, which was €50 million).
Also, as travel restrictions between countries are loosening up, families and individuals are rushing to find a home and become citizens of the safest countries in the world. Portugal was considered as one of the safest countries to travel to after the pandemic and has recently started to provide a Health Passport and a Travel Insurance to incoming visitors, in order to ensure everyone can travel around the country safely and with confidence. Learn more about these insurances here.

(UMNS) The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's acceptance of pastors in same-sex relationships does not pave the way for noncelibate gay clergy to serve in United Methodist churches, officials from the two denominations said.
The Lutheran vote Aug. 21 to drop its ban on gay clergy, coming a day after the denomination approved a full communion pact including the sharing of clergy with The United Methodist Church, raised the question of whether practicing homosexual Lutheran pastors would be permitted in United Methodist pulpits.
Leaders from both churches said Aug. 26, however, that The United Methodist Church’s ban on noncelibate gay clergy is unchanged.
“Our Book of Discipline on that subject did not become null and void when they took that vote," said Bishop Gregory Palmer, president of the United Methodist Council of Bishops. "It still applies to United Methodist clergy."
He said there is an expectation that the church's stance "would need to be respected" by clergy appointed to serve United Methodist churches.

Scroll down for memories by: Jude Alderson, Sue Dunderdale and Noreen Kershaw
Jude Alderson writes:
I met Jean Hart in 1976.
I had a one year old daughter and a band, the Sadista Sisters. That was a struggle. Jean was, from the off, a loyal friend.
She and I became very close. We saw each other nearly every day and considered the idea of moving in together. But I think Bill ( Oddie) her husband wasn’t so keen on having another toddler running around. (My daughter being younger than Jean’s girls) This was around the time I invited Jean to join the Sadistas. We had been a big success at Ronnie Scott’s and toured Europe particularly Berlin, Hamburg and Scandinavia. The Europeans seemed to have a better understanding of political cabaret theatre.
The impact of Jean joining us was massive. Jean’s reputation went before her. She had been Lenny Bruce’s warm up act at The Establishment club. She was a renowned jazz singer. A musician’s musician. A very vocal and fierce political activist and she lived in a gorgeous house in the posh part of Hampstead. She was old enough to be my mother, and that was both a joy and a burden. She was probably the cleverest person I knew. Vivid, generous, direct, sometimes to the point of cruelty. I was in awe of her and sometimes scared of her. She was beautiful, principled but infuriating. But she unexpectedly valued my place as an artist a musician and a surrealist.
When on tour in Sweden, Jean and I missed the night bus, it was midnight and minus ten degrees and we were sat in a dismal bus shelter with an hour until the next bus. But Jean always had a gripping story to tell.
She had a huge circle of friends who adored her and who she helped, advised, counselled as only Jean could. Its hard to describe the loss I feel even now. I recall so many ‘Jean’ moments, she was family. I’m lucky to know both her daughters. So, there is some comfort to meet and spend time with these brilliant women who in many ways reflect Jean’s passion for life and social injustice.
Jean was and remains my role model. And her legacy lives on for many many of us.
Sue Dunderdale writes:
Sometime in 1977, I walked into a dank basement flat off Ladbroke Grove. I was thirty – the two women I was meeting were ten years younger than me, bouncing off the walls and riffing puns back and forth as if they’d taken tabs. They weren’t on drugs; they were just very young and talented. Melissa Murray and Eileen Fairweather were the writers of a wild, agit-prop play Bouncing Back With Benyon, which had been commissioned to oppose the passage of the Benyon Bill through the Commons. I was to be the director.
The Bill was aimed at curtailing hard-won abortion rights only ten years after the 1967 Abortion Act. The Women’s Movement organised vigorously against it and Bouncing Back With Benyon was part of that mobilisation. It was a short, wickedly funny two-hander, the performers were Melissa and Jean Hart. We travelled around University unions, women’s groups: anywhere that would have us. The women won, and Sir William Benyon and his Bill failed.
Jean Hart was older than me by about ten years, beautiful, a great actor and singer and deeply political in her life, as well as her thoughts. She’d been a member of the Women’s Theatre Group when they produced Out! On the Costa Del Trico, in solidarity with the striking women at the Trico factory in Brentford. It was 1976, the year after the Equal Pay Act, and the women had discovered they were being paid £6 a week less than the few men on the production line; they were on strike for twenty-one weeks. The struggle ended in total triumph for the women and the union that supported them. The Women’s Theatre Group show was devised from interviews with the women and became a benchmark for their way of working over the next few years.
“Benyon” revealed to me, not only Jean’s genius as a performer but also her huge intelligence, warmth, and passionate dedication to changing the world, especially for women. It was Jean who brought me on board to direct a new Sadista Sisters show, A Cabaret of Sexual and Political Blasphemy. “The Sadista Sisters” was the baby of Jude Alderson, another beautiful and extraordinary woman. Jude, Jean, and Pauline Melville, together improvised dark and humorous political sketches and wrote and performed vibrant political songs.
The rehearsal period was tough, we fought – but we produced an electric show. From the opening song “Madonna”, led by Jean, in front of a packed audience at the Roundhouse Downstairs, we had a feminist entertainment that was sexually and politically upfront:
“Their act contains all the elements of successful cabaret – a polished, versatile band, powerful songs, three exceptionally accomplished and beautiful front-line performers and an act that is shocking, topical, challenging and hilariously funny. The audience in this cabaret never has a chance to relax but is led by the performers through a gothic show that upturns expectations yet is also remarkably loving, that walks a tight-rope between the mush of titillation and the mire of the grotesque, so disturbing to an audience that it is no longer funny.”
After the show opened, Jean and I went our different ways but I kept in touch with her, visiting her home in Southend Green and in our later years bumping into her and chatting in our mutual haunt of Kentish Town. She was an icon of my younger years and I know she went on to have an enormous influence on the students she taught at Rose Bruford. Her life and talent had a distinctive influence on the early development of women’s theatre, she was a courageous and inspiring pioneer.
Noreen Kershaw writes:
Legend that was Jean Hart .
A trail blazer … fierce and funny …a one off independent and kind comrade who was so supportive to other women .
I got to know Jean when she was in the wonderful Sadista Sisters and I was in Bloomers .
Our paths crossed many times and for that I am grateful .

Post-modern and genre-free music at its finest! Formed by British friends Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth, Let's Eat Grandma defies all sense and boundaries. Despite having started their career only a few years ago, Let's Eat Grandma has received a very notable amount of attention – and praise – from magazines such as The Guardian, Q Magazine and Pitchfork. Their second album, I'm All Ears, raised their status to new heights and landed them a spot as the opening act for CHVRCHES' extensive Europe tour.
Journalist Oskari Onninen described Let's Eat Grandma's sound in his article in Image Magazine: "Let's Eat Grandma's songs hit pop music featuring 10 minute long proge themes or sax solos, and they sound from time to time like Lorde, Jamie xx, PC Music, Chvrches, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd, Liekki and all other your favourite bands – even thought their music is at the same time totally orginal (...) I'm All Ears is the best album released during the first part of this year."

Hello Pop fans!
Greetings from me, Bianca, the Cake Pop Princess. I make delicious little cake truffle lollipops and post them to people. After I've eaten a few tester Pops to make sure they're all up to scratch, of course.
This weekend was a busy one for me. I had some last minute commissions after people had seen my latest creations on my Facebook page and set about planning how I could possibly make Ben 10 into cake pop form. Hmmm.... their shape doesn't immediately lend itself to cake poppery, so I decided to go down the fondant road (which, as we all know, is heavily pot-holed and fraught with danger for amateur cake-decorators). Three hours later, and with a nasty indent on my hand from wielding my scalpel, this is what I was left with:
A few Candy Melts later (and a wasted trip to town for edible glue, but I digress) I was left with these:
Actually, I was pretty damn pleased with how they turned out. But looking at that pic makes me think I need to rethink my photo display technique. Much happier with the pics of my new Sakura (blossom) Pops and Number pops - my other rush orders for this weekend:
Sakura Cake Pops
Much prettier, no? Now I must away to find myself some of that straw stuff in red...

I hit my 40’s and began to gain weight. I was always able to eat anything I wanted and did not have the knowledge or discipline to take the weight off. A friend started the program a year before I did and in 6 months had lost the weight she wanted- and kept it off. That convinced me. This program has taught me how to eat, what to eat, and how to keep the weight off. Also, they provide continuing support after your weight goal has been reached. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very supportive. They made losing weight simple and stress-free.

Can't get enough Patriots rumors and news? Be sure to download our 5-star iPhone app today!
With the 2014 NFL trade deadline fast approaching, the New England Patriots are looking for an upgrade on the offensive side of the ball. However, they're seemingly not searching for a wide receiver as previous reports would suggest.
According to Mike Florio of NBC's Pro Football Talk, "per a league source, the Pats and coach Bill Belichick are looking for a running back."
Stevan Ridley was recently lost for the season after suffering a torn ACL. Shane Vereen was originally slated to take on the bulk of the running duties, but Jonas Gray received 17 carries (for 86 yards) during Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears and could receive an extended look in the backfield even when Vereen (5 carries) is fully 100% from his recent illness.
No one can fully guess what Bill Belichick and the rest of the Patriots are thinking at any time, let alone in advance of the trade deadline. We'll have our answer as to whether the Pats will deal for a running back by 4:00pm EST on Tuesday.

During BlogHer this year, I had the distinct pleasure of attending a party and dinner hosted by Sony Pictures and One2One Network where we were treated to a screening of ABC's upcoming series Pan Am (premiering Sunday, September 25th, 2011 10/9c).
On Saturday evening during BlogHer, we gathered at The University Club at the top of Symphony Towers in San Diego where we were treated to delicious hors d'oeuvres, an amazing dinner, beautiful views and the first episode of Pan Am.
Pan Am stars Christina Ricci, and is set in the 60's at the height of the Jet Age:
Passion, jealousy and espionage... They do it all – and they do it at 30,000 feet. The style of the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements deliciously mesh in this thrilling and highly-original new series.
In this modern world, air travel represents the height of luxury and Pan Am is the biggest name in the business. The planes are glamorous, the pilots are rock stars and the stewardesses are the most desirable women in the world. Not only are these flyboys and girls young and good looking, but to represent Pan Am they also have to be educated, cultured and refined. They're trained to handle everything from in-air emergencies to unwanted advances – all without rumpling their pristine uniforms or mussing their hair.
Air travel was a treat back then (I remember some of this), and Pan Am captures the excitement and glamour. It also has drama and and some unexpected plot turns to make you stick around to see what happens next.
Check it out beginning Sundays on September 25, 2011 on ABC.

Disclosure: I enjoyed the screening, a dinner and we received a Pan Am gift bag. I am under no obligation to write anything about the event or the show. I just thought you might like to know about it.

Known for their indie-pop style, Blossoms third album Foolish Loving Spaces sees them go down a different path as they experiment with groovy guitars, disco and electro-rock.
The five-piece from Stockport gained popularity in 2016 after releasing their colossal hit Charlemagne from their self-titled debut album.
Their newly released album showcases a joyous, gospel sound with lyrics exploring broken promises, therapy and ending relationships.
The first track, If You Think This Is Real Life, starts abruptly as frontman Tom Ogden sings over a synth piano.
Your Girlfriend is a groovy tune with soft moans of an electric guitar incorporated between verses.
The song is about the forbidden love of a friend’s girlfriend and ends with a slow drum beat and the lyrics: “I heard they got engaged today.”
Their third single, The Keeper, is piano-heavy with rhythmic yet subtle drums. It is an optimistic tune that gives a euphoric feeling when it gets to the chorus as Ogden explains he wants to “spend this life as one” with his lover.
My Swimming Brain has a cool, summer vibe to it, especially when paired with the harmonies of the backing vocals, even though the lyrics are about someone who cannot change.
For their latest project, Blossoms have delved into sounds similar to vintage alternative bands such as Talking Heads and Fleetwood Mac.
The band has previously dabbled into sounds of the 1980s by putting a fresh spin on David Bowie’s Let’s Dance at Reading Festival in 2019.
Sunday Was A Friend Of Mine emphasises that 1970s sound as it introduces a funky guitar, rhythmic bass and “ooh’s” which adds to the smooth lead vocals.
The funky vibes continue through to track six Oh No (I Think I’m In Love) as this dance-like pop number is cheesy yet catchy with a repetitive chorus that will get stuck in your head.
“Come back, Oh come back babe” is the first line in seventh track Romance, Eh? It is slower than some of the other songs, but they keep their signature guitar and indie-synth sound with soppy and pitiful lyrics.
My Vacant Days is similar to the calm and sombre My Favourite Room from their debut album. The guitar is the only instrument heard until the one-minute mark, where a piano is introduced, creating a beautiful, melodic tune.
Their ninth track Falling For Someone sounds like a soundtrack to a teen flick from the 1980s as it emphasises that dreamlike daze of being in love.
The female backing vocals add to this as they sing: “Here I lay, lost in a moment, when will I wake up?”
The last song, Like Gravity, is unlike anything Blossoms have ever done. This electro-rock track has a guitar reminiscent of noughties rock bands, and the chorus is quite similar to The Strokes 2001 song, Hard To Explain.
Overall, this is the most ambitious Blossoms have been as the band continue to grow with every album produced.

Jul. 20, 2020
AUSTIN, Texas — Until a vaccine is available, social isolation remains the best protection against coronavirus, but with that measure comes concerns that fewer interactions with family and friends may lead to loneliness, depression or more significant mental health issues.
Perhaps contrary to conventional wisdom, researchers are finding that social isolation can actually boost mental health.
In a recently published study, a team of mental health experts led by a St. Edward’s University researcher reports that people who engage in social isolation measures to protect themselves and others against COVID-19 are experiencing less coronavirus-related anxiety.
“The narrative often told in the media is that isolation is causing people to be depressed” said Jane Milman, adjunct faculty in Counseling at St. Edward’s and the study’s lead researcher. “So, I was surprised to find that the more people socially isolate, the lower their anxiety, even after accounting for COVID-related loss of employment, increased cost of living, and loss of childcare.”
“It’s not just that they're doing better,” Milman added. “Their anxiety does not appear to be in the clinically significant range. Meanwhile, those who are not taking measures to stop the spread of COVID do appear to experience clinically significant levels of anxiety. That’s a really powerful contrast. Making the choice to socially isolate gives you something that can support your mental health during the pandemic.”
The researchers found that social isolation helps mental health by giving a sense of control at a time when many are experiencing an overall loss of control at the hands of this pandemic.
Stress-coping research suggests that it is the loss of control, safety, and predictability that often defines whether an event is perceived to be traumatic.
“So, it’s almost like social isolation provides us with a trauma inoculation against the pandemic by giving us some measure of control, safety, and predictability during the pandemic,” Milman said.
In both a preliminary study and the more extensive study published in June in the journal Death Studies, Milman and her colleagues Sherman Lee, who leads the Coronavirus Anxiety Project at Christopher Newport University, and Robert Neimeyer, Director of the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition, collaborated on a project that examines the role that social isolation plays in shaping the psychological impact of the coronavirus. As part of this work, they developed one of the first tools for measuring anxiety specifically about the coronavirus, which predicts suicidal ideation, drug/alcohol use, depression, and more.
They then surveyed 408 adults across the country, seeking to test the hypothesis that social isolation serves a protective psychological function. Among the main findings was that participants who engaged in social isolation reported significantly less core belief violation and increased meaning-making. In turn, those whose core beliefs were less violated by the pandemic or who made more meaning of the pandemic reported significantly lower coronavirus anxiety. A violation of core beliefs occurs when an event or situation causes an individual to question or reassess their core beliefs regarding the controllable, fair and predictable nature of the world, among other things.
The study also compared social isolation to non-social preventative measures, such as hand washing or wearing a mask. It found that measures such as hand washing could foster the perception of an immediate COVID threat and elevate anxiety, while social distancing gives a personal sense of control and agency, thereby decreasing anxiety.
The researchers believe these outcomes could inform policymakers as they make decisions about social distancing policies as well as mental health professionals as they develop mental health interventions in the COVID context.
More immediately, the study’s main findings support the case for practicing social isolation.
“If we want people to do well mentally, and we want to stop infection rates, stay the course and socially isolate,” Milman said. “Even people who have lost jobs to the pandemic still do better mentally if they’re socially isolated. And that’s a big take-home message that even the economic impacts of this are going to be better experienced, mentally speaking, if you’re socially isolating.”

Yushin Okami and Dhiego Lima will clash in a welterweight bout at UFC on Fox 29.
Promotion recently officials confirmed the pairing. UFC on Fox 29 takes place at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz., on April 14 and is headlined by a lightweight showdown between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
Okami returned to the Octagon on short notice following a four-year hiatus at UFC Fight Night 117, where he suffered a first-round submission loss to Ovince St. Preux in the evening’s main event. That ended a four-fight winning streak for the Japanese veteran, who has competed in World Series of Fighting, Deep and Pancrase after his initial UFC stint.
A cast member on Season 19 and Season 25 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Lima is 1-4 in five promotional appearances. He last appeared at the “TUF 25” finale, where he was submitted in the second round by Jesse Taylor.

I have many questions about the skirt aand the exposed zipper...which is great because I LOVE questions.
Well, questions I can answer, that is.
I made the skirt pattern myself, actually. Anything in this blog will never have a pre-made pattern connected to it. I have resigned to make all my patterns myself to learn and grow in sewing. But, lucky for you, there are patterns very similar to it:
For the exposed zipper, I found the tutorial here. It is wonderfully easy and I would have NEVER known how to do it without the tutorial.
Anyone who makes a skirt like mine with an exposed zipper and sends me a picture, will be featured on my blog and you get a free headband! Get sewing!

M Vision 2014 Kamouraska
M Vision 2014 Kamouraska: Familiar Landscapes, Unlimited Possibilities
The dramatic nature of sunset and twilight in Kamouraska; the high winds and ever-changing natural skies filled with an abundance of fast moving cumulus and stratus clouds; the playful nature of children; the nuances of human nature; nature in all its forms came together to make M Vision 2014 a very special celebration of photography. I feel privileged to have spent three glorious days immersed in it all!
M Vision 2014 Kamouraska was a great success and an even greater learning experience that will remain with all of us for a very long time. Le centre d’art de Kamouraska and its director, Eve Simard, rolled out the red carpet and made us feel at ease. Everyone who attended contributed their enthusiasm, energy, creativity, and willingness to leave their comfort zone and embrace new situations. Of course our instructors, Ed Kashi with his lifelong experience and passion for storytelling through beautiful and moving images, and Edouard Plante Frechette with his infectious spirit and exceptional technical prowess, made the three days of M Vision a memorable gathering filled with stimulating discussion and beautiful pictures.
I took the liberty of selecting some extraordinary photographs from what I consider a wealth of images, and believe you will be impressed and inspired by what we accomplished.
* * *
Prior to the atelier, on Wednesday, July 23, we had an illuminating soirée featuring Ed Kashi. Thank you to all who reserved and attended this very special event at Camtec Photo. I was personally touched by Ed’s photographs as well as his background commentary on two of the most important topics he has tackled in an illustrious career: aging, and being a photojournalist while being a husband and father. Ed is still an active photographer with his finger both on the shutter and on the pulse of important stories around the world. I would like to once again personally thank him for finding time to visit us. I would also like to thank Leica Camera USA for their continuing support in bringing premier photojournalists to Montreal.

Epic Games Store‘s new freebies are SomaSim/Kasedo Games‘s crime management tycoon game City of Gangsters and Arkane Studios/Bethesda‘s stealth-action title Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.
City of Gangsters was briefly discussed in the game release news of the “Criminal Record” DLC and is basically about building an empire of crime from 1920 onwards. Thanks to the Prohibition, illegally working behind the scenes is part of the business plan.
Smuggling as well as eliminating the opposition have to be taken into consideration, too, while the Law shouldn’t be misjudged, either. There’s certainly a lot to work on before the year of 1933 brings an end to the Prohibition and the flow of money and power.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider was already given some news treatment in this GOG releases article, while the first game was part of an Epic Games Store freebie bundle. Playing as killer-for-hire Billie Lurk, disposing of the titular god-like figure is the name of the game.
Suffice it to say that what follows is a tour de force with some nauseating first-person sequences and brutal fight scenes, although killing in the shadows and using special forces to traverse the open spaces are rewarding enough for multiple playthroughs.
Both games can now be added to the Epic Games Store account for free until February 9, 2023, at 5:00 PM.
