After Saudi Arabia’s Hope probe made its historical landing on Mars, it is time for American space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Perseverance Rover to touch down on the red planet.
Here is everything that you should know before we get to witness the landing:
The Perseverance Rover, that was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on July 30, 2020 will be making its landing on Mars’ Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021. NASA has described that the landing site of its rover is an ancient river delta in a lake that once filled Jezero Crater.
The Perseverance rover is carrying seven instruments to conduct an “unprecedented science and test new technology on the Red Planet,” according to NASA. As it spends one Mars year which is equal to two years on Earth, the rover will search for signs of ancient microbial life, which will advance NASA’s mission to explore the history of habitability in Mars. The rover has a drill which it will use to collect core samples of Martian rock and soil, then store them in sealed tubes for pickup by a future mission that would take them back to Earth for detailed analysis.
Perseverance will also test technologies to help scientists device better ways for future human exploration of Mars. However, before it gets to do all that, it is the last few minutes of its journey as it approaches its destination that the rover will face ‘seven minutes of terror‘. It is expected that the rover will take seven minutes to descend from the top of the Martian atmosphere to the landing site in less time than the 11-minute-plus radio transmission to Earth.
Perseverance’s self-guided descent depends on its Entry, Descent, and Landing Instrumentation 2 (MEDLI2). MEDLI2 comes with three types of sensors: thermocouples, heat flux sensors, and pressure transducers,which will measure extreme heat and pressure during entry. The rover also contains electronics and hardware for documenting the thermal and pressure loads experienced during entry and through the parachute deployment. A total of 28 sensors are arranged in a unique pattern across the heat shield and back shell of the rover, according to NASA.
NASA‘s Mars rover is also equipped with testing a method for producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere and identifying other resources. The mission will also explore various ways of improving landing techniques, and characterizing weather, dust, and other potential environmental conditions that could affect future manned missions on Mars.

After taking a break to post about Independence Day, we are now going back to our discussion of women and textiles. Today we will talk about the ways in which embroidery and quilting were important in colonial America!
Also, thanks to everyone who attended the embroidery workshop on July 11! Lauren did an amazing job leading the class, and we had a great turnout. It was wonderful for all of us to learn together. Learning to do those stitches makes it even more impressive that six year old girls were learning them hundreds of years ago!
Colonial American Women and Textiles
While textiles made by European colonists in America were at first largely utilitarian and were in short supply in the early colonies, the eighteenth century introduced a larger, more developed consumer society. Leisure time increased, especially for elite white women. Both the northern and southern colonies at this time supported a society in which women were required to restrain themselves inside the domestic sphere and allow men control over their lives and their interactions with the outside world. While wealthier families were able to send daughters to school, female education primarily consisted of learning skills that would be useful in running a household and attaining a stable and beneficial marriage.
Priscilla Brank would have grown up in this world, spending her early years developing domestic skills that would help her in her marriage to David Vance Sr. in 1775. While it is unclear if Priscilla, like many of her female contemporaries, attended school and learned embroidery and other needlework there, it is likely that her social and economic status would have allowed her to interact with embroidery at a young age. Girls who were wealthy enough were either taught decorative embroidery at home or at school, and their very first projects were called samplers. Many girls completed a simple sampler between the ages of five and six, which taught them basic embroidery skills and allowed them to simultaneously learn their letters and numbers. An example of a basic sampler from 1786 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, is displayed below, image and information courtesy of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts online object database.
In adolescence, girls would then complete a more complicated sampler that showcased their talent, patience, and family values. Such samplers were often framed by parents and displayed in common rooms of the home in order to attract the attention of potential suitors. Some samplers, depending on the girl’s skill, could become quite intricate, as seen here, also courtesy of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts database:
These samplers are often the only testament to the existence and experiences of the girls and young women who created them that we have today.
The Importance of Textile Crafts to White American Women
White American women who had the time and skill during both the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries could spend hours on embroidery, decorating seat cushions, bed hangings, clothing, wall hangings, and other textiles, and often used their skill as a form of artistic expression in order to convey their personal values and ideas. Some women even used their talent as a means of making a name for themselves in their communities and making extra income. In a world where few women were taught the skills needed to procure paying jobs and even fewer were allowed the independence to pursue skills that could lead to more income, many transformed traditional female domestic skills into a means to obtain autonomy and to influence the trajectory of their lives. Embroidery in itself is a craft that lasted into the twentieth century in America, and it is likely that Mira Baird Vance and her daughter-in-law, Hattie Espy Vance, both encountered the art and even participated in it during their lifetimes, especially since they were members of the relatively wealthy southern Appalachian elite in the nineteenth century.
Of course, embroidery was not the only textile craft American women used on a daily basis. Quilting and weaving have also been important skills studied by women for millenia. The women living at the Vance Birthplace had access to a loom for weaving. While the enslaved women on the plantation did the weaving itself, as was common in the American South, white mistresses like Mira Baird and Priscilla Brank would have known something about the loom and would direct the enslaved women’s labor.
Quilting would have also been a familiar task for these women. Even if they did not always create quilts themselves, they certainly would have been familiar with the process and the patterns involved. Patchwork quilting was a convenient and useful way to recycle unused cloth and became popular in the eighteenth century. Quilting as a whole actually became extremely important to the southern Appalachian region in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and it is probable that the women living in the Reems Creek valley during this period would have been familiar with the craft.
Quilting and other textile crafts presented an opportunity for groups of women to gather together and socialize whilst working, and consequently fostered cultural connections and female friendships and bonds that provided resistance to the patriarchal oppression and the daily drudgery of isolated rural frontier life. Below is an example from North Carolina made between 1840 and 1857 of a symmetrical quilt created by a young woman in a prominent family in her community, courtesy once again of the MESDA collections database:
You can learn a bit more about quilts in the mountain South by looking at Lauren’s video on quilts from the Vance birthplace posted on the site facebook page on April 29!
Tune in next week to discover the ways in which African American women, enslaved and free, utilized textiles as modes of resistance, vehicles of self-expression, and tangible expressions of love.

Sophorolipids : microbial synthesis and application
Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk
Sophorolipids are glycolipidic biosurfactants extracellularly produced by several yeast species. Owing to the nonpathogenic character of the production host and the high yields, there is quite some commercial interest in these molecules. Indeed, to date sophorolipids are available in the market and nd applications in real-life products. Further research is currently being conducted in order to broaden their application range, either by evaluating their behavior in new applications or by modifying the sophorolipid chemical structure.

Poem by Annie Hartley
For breakfast last Monday,
I ate a soul because there was
Nothing left to eat in the pantry.
I sautéed it with a little bit of
Olive oil and just a dash of basil.
The light dancing tones of Mozart
Covered up the anguished, burning screams.
On the plate, the soul looked like an
Egg omelet in a black and white photograph.
It tasted like fresh baked cookies.
I think her name was Reyna.
Now even the coldest ice cream burns like fire
In my mouth, and when I look in the mirror,
My tongue is charred and bloody,
And my gums leak a clear, slimy pus.
Another soul will take the pain away,
But the supermarkets and organic food stores don’t advertise:
“Fresh caught human souls for sale. Only $4.99 per pound.”
It’s too bad, really. It would be a good money maker for them.
I killed my first victim today.
I drove my butcher knife into her throat,
And held a mason jar up to the wound to catch
The slippery soul as it spilled out along with the thick red blood.
I left her body for the police to find and bury.
I owe her that much at least.
This time, I made scrambled eggs, and they tasted like garden grown tomatoes.

Police have stepped up patrols in preparation for more protests after two deadly shootings by police officers over the weekend, including one of an unarmed man that sparked fiery clashes just a few miles up the road from Disneyland.
On Tuesday, the man's family filed a civil rights lawsuit seeking $50 million in damages from the city of Anaheim and its police department, claiming 25-year-old Manuel Diaz was wrongfully shot, said lawyer James Rumm.
A protest was planned in front of City Hall for Tuesday afternoon by residents who question what made officers resort to deadly force and later crack down on demonstrators by firing pepper-spray projectiles and bean bag rounds.
The killing of Diaz and another man have taken the tally of shootings by police officers to six so far this year in this Orange County city, up from four a year before, said police Sgt. Bob Dunn. Five of the incidents have been fatal.
"It concerns me when we have any officer-involved shooting," said Police Chief John Welter, adding that he believes an uptick in gang-related crime in the last eight to 10 months is driving the increase.
"There just seems to be a lot more violence between the gangs. As a result, we've increased our gang unit, which has increased our contact with gang members," he said.
Mayor Tom Tait said a description from court papers relayed to him by a reporter that Diaz had been shot in the leg and in the back of his head was "unsettling."
The Anaheim police union on Tuesday issued a statement defending the officers involved in the shootings and said both men killed were gang members who had criminal records.
The union also said that just before Diaz turned toward officers during Saturday's incident, pulled an object from his waistband - a common place where gang members hide guns.
"I believe that the independent investigations by the Orange County District Attorney's Office into both incidents will show no wrongdoing by these officers," said Kerry Condon, the police association's president.
Anaheim is a city of contrasts that ranges from upscale, hilltop homes to packed, gritty apartment complexes. The city 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles is known as home to the Angels baseball team, and above all, to world-famous Disneyland.
As California's Hispanic population has grown, so has the city's, hitting nearly 53 percent in 2010, census figures show.
Residents' concerns about the use of police force in the Orange County city aren't new. Last month, Anaheim decided to look into hiring an independent investigator to review shootings by police amid protests by relatives of those killed in officers' gunfire.
But Latino activists say that isn't enough and want federal officials to probe the Saturday shooting of an unarmed man in broad daylight who police say was a gang member.
Benny Diaz, state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens in California, said he wants a citizen review commission to keep tabs on the police department, officers to undergo sensitivity training and federal officials to investigate.
"People are saying, `you know what? We have to stop this,'" said Diaz, adding that residents' past requests for a probe of officer shootings have gone nowhere. "As an organization we are trying to find peace but there comes a point where you have to stand up strong."
Tait, who has called for state and federal agencies to investigate the shooting, urged the community to remain calm and said he wanted to address any concerns in the Latino community.
"If the Latino community is saying there is a rift, then there is rift, and we need to address that," he said.

Are NC's DWI Laws Strict Enough?
Do you think North Carolina's DWI laws are strict enough?
A loophole in North Carolina's law allowed a man now charged in a fatal accident to serve less than half of a two-year sentence for a previous DWI conviction.
Kevin O'Hagan is charged with second-degree murder after police said the pickup truck he was driving collided with one driven by Daniel Herring in Monroe. Herring was killed in the crash.
O'Hagan was charged with DWI, in addition to second-degree murder and several other charges.
In 2007, after his sixth DWI conviction, O’Hagan served only 9 months of a two-year sentence, according to prison records. That's because the state's sentencing law makes an exception for DWI defendants, cutting their sentences in half as soon as they walk through the prison doors.
O'Hagan had a combination of what the state prison system calls "good time," "gain time" and "merit time," which cut 450 days off his sentence.
North Carolina’s structured sentencing law has been in place since 1994.
O'Hagan is being held in the Union County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

Note to self (& other perfectionists and obsessionals out there):
Contra the old saw, studies show that practice itself does NOT actually make perfect. The good news, less alliterative, more accurate, and admittedly a bit of a mouthful, is that practice enlivens asymmetry.
I began to turn over asymmetry in my mind after listening to a conversation between physicist Marcelo Gleiser and the novelist Marilynne Robinson [here] and found convergences with a book called The Craftsman  by Richard Sennett that I’ve recently finished reading. There was, however, something that met resistance in me and felt counterintuitive in Gleiser equating asymmetry with imperfection . I wondered why for a few days while working out this essay, and cast about for possible explanations.
My first thoughts turned to the craft of poets and potters which seemed to go against it. We have all seen and heard poems that appear to be jagged in some way (‘imperfect’) but work powerfully as poems, nevertheless. Also, I confess I am all too readily charmed by the slightly off-centre, possibly wobbly-looking , earthy style of the work of art that is a Japanese pot or vase. Not for me the pretty, delicate and finely-tuned porcelain. Those very leanings, it turns out, however, tippled my linguistic instincts a bit on asymmetry.
The etymological dictionary tells me that ‘perfect’ comes from the Latin meaning ‘complete’; ‘symmetry’ from the Greek meaning ‘with+measurement’. Asymmetry (and imperfection) speak then, properly, I see, to provisionality. They really do not have any connection to right and wrong at all which I found a helpful insight, and something of a relief. We live in quick fix times and though we may intellectually submit (more or less) to things changing, there are some certainties we want to rely on and have difficulty holding lightly and trustingly.
Earlier, I wrote that poets and potters were one of the reasons I resisted the equation of asymmetry and imperfection. In poetry and pottery asymmetry seems a primal intuition in the sense that something gets made ‘out of nothing’. What was not, becomes. Why? How? The initial condition for its coming to be–the impetus– is asymmetry.
Asymmetry, I think, is the true shape of desire. It is Trinity. It is dynamism, the heart of the universe, animator of rhythm, repetition, refinement. Without asymmetry there would be no movement. Asymmetry signals a different kind of balance. So, while we may be drawn to the symmetrical as a classical (western? ) signpost of beauty and even perhaps, perfection, one need also consider its often indelicate, often more interesting, provocative, possibly disquieting and perhaps more honest opposite, asymmetry. It seems that as long as we subscribe to the delusion of completion, we interrupt the necessary flow of transformation and becoming that is Life. Gleiser says outright: “Symmetry may have its appeal but it is inherently stale. Some kind of imbalance is behind every transformation.” This leads me to the transformations found in poiesis.
Poiesis is rooted in the older Greek word meaning ‘to make’. I first encountered the word in the ‘autopoietic’ sense of the universe being a self-organising entity ; that is, an entity which creates and tends toward cosmos (order). Sennet writes that “making is thinking”, an aphorism more loosely (and, ah, alliteratively!) expressed as: “doing is discovery.”
You will recognise in the word poiesis a hint of the English word, ‘poetry’. The poet, Mary Oliver, like Sennett, recommends a courteousness and faithfulness with respect to the cultivation of craft. She frames the relationship to the work in terms of a courtship. She describes the Muse who dwells in a ‘mysterious, unmapped zone’ somewhere in the territory between consciousness and psyche. It is the Muse that imparts ‘the heart of the star as opposed to the shape of the star,’ and who weighs, waits and watches, tests and tempers her aspirant courtiers.
Will the right conditions of the mind and its receptivity, the heart and its obedience be found?
— Notes —
- How about craftician as a neologism for a gender neutral term, Professor Sennett?
- See, Gleiser, A Tear at the Edge of Creation
- What does this word ‘western’ even mean nowadays in the global hodgepodge?
- The subtleties of autopoiesis can be read about in Fritjof Capra’s The Web of Life (1996).

HEARING AID SUPPORT Filed Feb. 10, 1947 Patented July 4, 1950 UNITED STAI'ES PAT ENT OFFICE HEARING AID SUPPORT CarlP. Rohr, San Antonio, Tex.
Application February 10, 1947, SerialNoi 727,567
(Cl. ISL-23) 2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to hearing aid devices.
An object of this invention is to provide a hearing aid attachment of the air conduction type which is supported from the outside of the ear at the point of connection between the ear and the head, so that the weight of the element will not be borne by the orifice of the ear.
Another object of this invention is to provide a supporting means for an air conduction element whereby the element will be positioned behind the crura of the ear so as to be substantially entirely concealed, the sound waves being conducted through a small tube connected to a plug which is inserted in the ear orifice, and the plug being formed of transparent or flesh colored plastic material.
A further object of this invention is to provide a support for an air conduction element which will yieldably support the element so that any pulling strain on the Wire conductors will be absorbed by the support.
A further object of this invention is to provide a support for an air conduction element which includes a metal sound conducting tube which will tend to magnify the sound produced by the element.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the arrangement, combination and details of construction disclosed in the drawings and specification, and then more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing,
Figure 1 is a detail side elevation of a hearing aid support constructed according to an embodiment of this invention,
Figure 2 is a fragmentary side elevation, partly broken away and in section, of the device,
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 1,
Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2,
Figure 5 is an inner end elevation of the plug inserted into the ear orifice.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral I designates generally a plastic body which is formed with a chamber I I Within which a threaded bushing I2, having an outer flange I3, is adapted to be secured. The bushing I2 is adapted to receive the threaded stud I4 of an air conduction hearing aid element I of conventional construction.
The body ID has extending from the forward side thereof a tube It which communicates at its rear end with the chamber II. The tube I6 is longitudinally bent and is adapted to engage on the rear side of the ear crura II so that the body I0 will be substantially concealed behind the crura of the ear. The opposite end of the tube 16, which comprises a sound wave conductor, is embedded within a plug I8 which is adapted to be inserted within the orifice of the ear.
The tube I6 extends lengthwise through the plug I8 so that the inner end of the tube IE will communicate with the orifice of the ear and the sound will not be in contact with the plastic plug.
In order to support the body [0 in a position substantially concealed behind the crura, I have provided a hook-shaped flexible supporting wire I9. The rear end of the wire I9 is embedded within the body It and this wire extends downwardly and forwardly for engagement over the base of the ear. The tube I6 and the Wire I9 form a flexible support for the body II], the tube I6 being bent in hook shape to substantially follow the configuration of the base of the ear.
In the use of this device, the air conduction element is secured within the socket or bushing I2 of the body ID. This body I0 may be made of plastic and may be either transparent or of substantially skin color. The supporting wire I9 is engaged over the ear and the plug I8 is extended into the orifice of the ear. The sound waves generated by the air conduction element IE will be communicated through the tubular conduction element I6 to the orifice of the ear. In this manner the user of this device will not support the hearing aid element I5 directly from the ear orifice so that there will not be any strain on the ear due to the weight of the element. The supporting wire or hook I9 can be used or adjusted as to substantially entirely support the air conduction element and the tube I G from the base of the ear.
I do not mean to confine myself to the exact details of construction herein disclosed, but claim all variations falling within the purview of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
l. A hearing aid support for an air conduction unit, a plug for engagement in the ear orifice, said plug having a passage therein, a tube fixed at one end in the passage of said plug, an air conduction supporting body fixed to the other end of said tube, said body having a chamber therein with which said tube communicates, said chamber being formed to receive an air conduction unit, and a hook-shaped supporting wire fixed at one end to said body and adapted to engage over the base of the ear said tube being formed as a continuation of said wire behind the ear constituting with said wire a supporting member for said plug and said air conduction supporting body.
2. A hearing aid support for an air conduction unit comprising supporting body having a chamber formed therein adapted to receive an air conduction unit, a pair of opposed openings formed. in said body and communicating with said chamher, a hook shaped supporting wire having one end thereof fixed in one of said openings and adaptedto engage over the base of the ear, a plug for engagement within the ear orifice and having a passage formed therethrough, a longitudinally bent sound conducting tube having the opposite ends thereof fixed in said passage and in the other of said body openings respectively and adapted to engage under and behind the ear crura and with said wire provide a support for said 4 plug and said air conduction unit supporting body.

Today, I want to talk about starting before you’re ready.
I used to have a lot of resistance to starting because I believed that I needed to have everything planned out in my mind. But I realized that showing up before I’m ready and before I have fully formed an idea in my mind is crucial to creativity. How ideas exist in my mind will never be how they manifest in the real world.
On top of that, the longer I spend trying to find something in my mind, the more resistance I will have to actually creating it because I will have more preconceptions about what I want it to look like.
But here’s the truth: ready is a decision, not a place you will ever truly arrive.
If there’s an idea you’ve been sitting on, or if you’ve been hesitating about beginning something or taking that first step, watch this video.
(Spoiler alert: this is also how you cultivate detaching from the outcome)
So today is like day 19 of my creative experiment. And tomorrow will be the final day. So although I’m releasing these videos a week after I’ve recorded them. Tomorrow will be the final Friday in January, so it will mark my four weeks of doing this. And yeah, it will signal the end of the experiment.
And it’s really interesting because the closer I’ve got to this. Supposed finish line, I’ve noticed my energy shifting and changing and my relationship to this work changing because it’s kind of been like, Oh, I know. Not too much to do anymore to ideas. Can’t wait. And it just changes the the dynamism almost. I think before I was I didn’t know about this.
Nobody’s doing this. And I’m all about doing videos left. It’s all about Sunday. And then maybe Memorial Day reflections thing. And it’s just super interesting to observe. But what I want to talk about specifically today is starting before you’re ready, because prior to me hating that God put that record button, I had no clue what I was going to say.
And it was only in the process of bringing myself to the room, plug it in my microphone and record on my laptop, making sure the camera was angled correctly and pressing record. The idea actually landed with me. The idea of it’s important sometimes to start before you feel ready and in this case applies both to this video. Because before when I was, I was just on the sofa thinking about coming and doing this.
I was like, I didn’t really have anything interesting today to say. Maybe I’ll do it later. I’ve got like a grip call coming out. Maybe I got some energy of that, maybe inspirational, arrived with me later in the day, but I just let myself come and go through the motion of setting up, putting everything in place and sitting down and pressing record before I actually felt ready.
Because I know often for me the resistance I feel to starting is a false resistance. It’s an excuse. I don’t know what I’m going to say, but I believe so much of creativity is showing up before you’re ready, showing up before you have even fully formalized the idea in your mind. Because how ideas exist in here will never be how they manifest out here in the real world.
And I think the longer we spend in that state of trying to find something in our mind, the more resistance we will have to actually creating it, because we will have more preconceptions about what we want it to look like. So if I just kind of take this in a different direction, let’s say I was going to do I had an idea for a painting that I wanted to do or I had an idea for a the concept for a poem I wanted to write or something like that.
The longer I spend thinking about it out here and almost crystallizing it conceptually in my brain, the less likely I am to be able to recreate it perfectly. Because the world is imperfect. I will probably also doubt my own ability to create it in such a way that matches how I want it to be. But I will be more resistant to doing it because I’ll be scared about it failing.
I’ll be scared that it won’t materialize in the way that I want it to. And it’s the same with these videos. If I spent ages coming up with exactly how I want it to be. The concept rehearsing the script 20 times in my brain and then hitting record. Chances are I wouldn’t be able to regurgitate it in that way.
It would come out differently. It would come out in the moment. How it wants to be expressed. And so the longer I spend holding myself back and trying to theorize my way to perfection, the more resistance, the more dissatisfaction, the more potential for me to be disappointed and frustrated. That is, it might be the same with a business idea.
You have an idea for a new offer you want to bring out. You had this great idea for business and you play out in your head and you create the scenario where everything goes to plan. It’s a great success. It means this about you, X, Y, Z, and you’ve created this beautiful narrative in your brain of, Oh, this is what it could be.
And again, it creates that resistance because suddenly it’s like, if I what happens if I do it? And it’s not how I imagined in my head what then? And it’s a big old question mark, and I certainly know for myself less so now, but certainly towards the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey where I was creating content, found the world, these potential scenarios I would create in my head became more appealing to me than actually testing something out and experiencing the reality of it.
It was a safety in I have this great idea. I have so much potential. One day it’s going to be great. This is the reality of putting things out there imperfectly and not seeing them do well. That was uncomfortable and I think it can create this. The more we actually resist creating, the more that we wait until we feel ready, the more likely we are to not create and the more likely we are to experience friction and dissatisfaction with the work that we do create.
One of my mantras is Messy Action, which perfectly fits with this whole theme of starting something before you feel ready. I’ve done it with this video in particular. I did it with this whole set of videos that I’ve recorded. And you know what? It’s been great fun. Yes, I’ve played out two of my scenarios of how will look this to go and how I imagine people waking up with me every day watching my videos as they have their morning tea or coffee, but it actually doesn’t matter.
I’m kind of detached from the outcome, which is something that I had to work on for a long time. And the only way I’ve been able to actually detach myself from the outcome is by starting before I was ready. Putting things out there and really approaching every single thing I do as an experiment of which I am just gathering data, remaining in the spirit of curiosity.
How did this feel for me? Did I enjoy it? Did I not enjoy it? How was this received by. That’s interesting. Is there anything I want to take from that or am I not that bothered? Stay curious. Stay open. And if there’s an idea you’ve been sat down or if there’s a piece of work that you have been noodling with but not putting out into the world, start before you are ready and press publish before you’re ready to.
Because it’s only in that process that you will realize that ready is an illusion and it is a state of mind. And it is a decision that you have to make. See you tomorrow for the final one in this series. I’m so excited to see what happens next.

Old English (Anglo-Saxon) is the earliest recorded stage of English, spoken in Britain during the early Middle Ages. A wealth of literature and poetry is written in the language, including justly famous works such as The Battle of Maldon, The Wanderer, and above all Beowulf. Old English is also the starting point for the study of the history […]
In 2000, Dr. Tom Shippey highlighted J.R.R. Tolkien’s contribution to literature, identifying him as the “Author of the Century.” Shippey makes a compelling case for the quality of Tolkien’s writing, arguing that this “rests not on mere charm or strangeness…but on a deeply serious response to what will be seen in the end as the major […]

The first half of this course provides a focus on Old Icelandic grammar, and the second half allows students to begin reading from a selection of Old Icelandic prose and poetic texts.
C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien are two of the most widely read fantasy and science fiction authors in the modern era; however, their works are rarely studied together. Students will examine the friendship and work of Lewis and Tolkien in this course and their influence upon each other.
The course examines Shakespeare’s Comedies in the context of their medieval literary sources, his Histories in light of Tudor views of the recent medieval past, and his Tragedies in the context of medieval beliefs and cosmologies.
“Tales of ratiocination,” as Edgar Allan Poe called them, are the intellectual sibling of science fiction, born of the same parents: the Scientific Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Poe created the first scientific detective, C. Auguste Dupin, who in turn paved the way for one of the most enduring and beloved literary characters of all time, Sherlock Holmes. This […]

Research: Status quo in Syria
Directions: Via a combination of information from the Upfront article and internet research, complete the following research guide to develop an understanding of what is happening in Syria.
Upfront Magazine (page 14-15):
1. What sparked Syria’s uprising? What role do you think uprisings in other Arab countries played in Syria’s revolution? Protests of the torture of students who put up anti government graffiti sparked the uprising in Syria. Government troops were sent to respond with force. I think this had a huge role in uprisings in other Arab countries because this fueled other countries to protest. 2. How might a change in power alter the balance of power in the Middle East? Do you think those changes are more likely to be a benefit or detriment to the U.S.? I think a change of power to the sunni muslims would make Syria more helpful toward their working class. I think they are more likely to detriment the US . 3. Who are the various players in Syria (pg. 15)? Provide a brief description of what each group represents in the conflict. Assad is the dictator in Syria since 1999 and he has cracked down on democratic reforms to keep him in power. Alawites are the upper 12% of the country. They have all of the power in the government and military. Sunni muslims are the other 75% of Syria and they are the working class backbone of Syria. The free Syrian army is the rebel regime against Assad. Their goal is to stop him and bring power to the Sunni’s.
Op-Ed from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2012/02/06/is-assads-time-running-out/syria-after-assad-could-be-even-worse 1. How, ethnically and historically, is Syria different from the rest of the Arab world? Historically, Syria is different because of all of the reminders of war there are around. There is evidence of the rise and fall of many countries trying to conquer the middle east, and a lot of ancient battles were fought there. Ethnically...

Going through old photos is always fun. This beauty is a Clay Coloured Sparrow that we found in the Codroy Valley (SW coast of Newfoundland) back in 2011!

Well, who didn't see this one coming?
Original Story: BioWare wants your help. No, I'm not talking about your script for a revised ending to Mass Effect 3 (even though the studio would likely take a look at this point). I'm talking about Dragon Age 3. BioWare confirmed today that it is gearing up for its next Dragon Age installment, and it is actively seeking fan input on the direction the franchise should take.
Personally I would like them to go back and give me more of what Dragon Age: Origins offered. A more tactical-style RPG rather than the glorified hack-n-slash that was DA2. And yeah, more environments.
And endings that involve more than changing the colors of the explosions

OGDENSBURG A group of north country veterans and their supporters will meet next week with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to discuss the possibility of establishing a veterans hospital in Ogdensburg.
Building such a hospital closer to home has been the chief objective of Operation Veterans since the group formed in 2011.
There are outpatient clinics for veterans in Watertown, Massena and Malone. But veterans say they offer limited services. Veterans and their supporters say Syracuse and Albany are too far to travel to receive more specialized medical services, especially for elderly and disabled veterans.
The distance between is about 135 miles one way and 270 miles round trip, organization member Susan J. Rupert said. For veterans traveling from Malone or Franklin County to Albany, it is even farther than that.
Waiting times and appointment dates are also a hassle, she said.
The waiting period is outrageous, Ms. Rupert said. We had a veteran who recently went down and scheduled an appointment in Syracuse, and was told he wouldnt be seen until October for a test that he is supposed to have every three months. A lot of veterans cant make the trip. It is getting expensive. That, combined with the age of some of the veterans, some of them are forgoing treatments because of it.
In addition to outlining the needs of veterans, Operation Veterans will highlight the economic benefits of establishing a hospital.
You are talking about jobs for out-of-work nurses and internships of the college students, Ms. Rupert said. Instead of having to go out of the area, students and graduates can work right here. Its a great opportunity for a lot of the college students.
Mr. Cuomos office offered to meet with Operation Veterans after seeing an informational packet it sent. The meeting will be Tuesday.
Operation Veterans members will propose use of the Pritchard Building at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, 1 Chimney Point Drive, as a possible site.
The group is looking for letters of support from community members, particularly veterans, to take to Albany. Letters may be sent to 925 Ford St., Ogdensburg, N.Y. 13669.

We who participated in the 2nd Social Entrepreneurship Forum on 9-10 November 2015; social economy enterprises, stakeholders as well as support organization for social economy and social enterprises - representing the rich diversity of the social economy, worked together, exchanged views and experiences and discussed the need and better opportunities for collaboration, networking and self-organisation of our community based on values, principles and a framework of common positions – through democratic, effective and open procedures, utilizing our own experiences but also those at European level.
The event provided a platform for the development of the necessary openness and trust, to stimulate dialogue on shared values and practices, opportunities and concerns, dissemination of good practices, learning from one another, both in Greece and elsewhere in Europe.
We are at a historic juncture where the necessity appears to move from diffuse smaller or larger efforts to efficient networking and cooperation among social enterprises and support organizations committed to Social Enterprise (SE) economic and business development; to discuss common structures and practices that will help the development of the SE community; to invest on stakeholders’ education using suitable tools and training models; to support efforts in their infancy; to develop appropriate dedicated financial-economic tools; and to protect social enterprises from isolated phenomena that can compromise the whole community.
The contribution of social enterprise to the social and economic reconstruction of Greece
Participants affirmed the view that social enterprises have the potential to become one of the main driving forces for social and economic reconstruction in Greece, promoting innovative solutions for the major challenges facing Greece today. They could share ideas and actions to unleash the potential of social enterprise towards a more pluralistic, sustainable, circular/green, responsible and more resilient Greek economy on a more equitable and inclusive Greek society, and a more citizen centered and community based socio-economic development of Greece.
Acting in the general interest based on the values of solidarity and emancipation, social economy enterprises regardless of legal form provide a model for doing business in the 21st century in Greece: creating opportunities for employment, economic participation, democracy in economy, placing the needs of people over speculation in order to meet the challenges of the ever growing inequality and poverty, aging, youth unemployment, local sustainability, environmental degradation, waste and degradation of natural resources, migration and refugees. There is no part of Greece that cannot benefit from social entrepreneurship.
Common features, values and principles
Social enterprises come in many shapes and sizes and take different legal forms, also in Greece. They share common values, most importantly working for the common good and generation of a social and/or environmental impact, and strive to follow a set of principles in their operations.
Organised networking and collaboration of social enterprises are essential for their development
The social and solidarity economy of Greece is still in an early stage development, fragmentation and low levels of mutual trust and transparency as well as low levels of support of social enterprises by philanthropy foundations, responsible business, the financial sector and public bodies at national, regional and local levels hamper the growth of the small social enterprise community.
It is now up to the social enterprises themselves and the organisations that support them
- to start a process of creating a common identity, based on openness and trust, around common values and principles, practices and behavior, visions and concerns,
- to learn more on day to day practices from one another, from other social enterprises both in Greece and elsewhere in Europe, and
- to promote networking and collaboration between social enterprises and dedicated financial and business development support organisations.
A common identity, based on common values, principles, aims, interests, and ways of working will allow
- to better use of synergies in the operation of a social enterprise,
- to create transparency on the social values created,
- to build credibility in the economic, social and political sphere,
- to gain recognition by trusted organisations, the general public, and public authorities
- to generate visibility and encourage support
- to use existed good practices and expertise in order to sustain the social enterprise
The way forward
Participants in the Social Entrepreneurship Forum expressed their willingness to intensify collaboration and networking efforts on thematic as well as on regional level and to open dialogue on how to network at national level and then to participate in relevant European networks.
It is a common desire for the Social Entrepreneurship Forum not only to develop in an annual institution for dialogue, information and networking but also to become in the future the capstone of coordinated and well organized thematic or regional meetings that will bring experience, recommendations, and joint initiatives to the Forum.
In the direction of empowerment, peer learning, information and mutual assistance participants committed to seek solutions for the creation of a common online platform based on open software that will provide accurate and timely information on social enterprises and social economy and innovative tools for the communication of community members according to their needs. In addition, it will promote more concerted organisation of meetings of people and bodies with the aim of networking and exchange of knowledge at local, national and European level, as well as coordinated presence in social media.
Cooperation is open and will be based on shared values, on basic features and principles. The commitment to such a framework will create an identity that differentiates social economy enterprises by state social structures, private companies investing in corporate social responsibility, but especially from failed examples (particularly cooperative ventures of the past) often due to ignorance or non-application of the principles and values of the cooperative economy or opportunistic behaviors. This framework will clarify the additional features that collective social enterprises have over others - parallel - procedures that may be part of the social economy (NGOs and social initiatives, individual social entrepreneurs), or by family businesses and ordinary mainstream companies. It will also help the establishment and effectiveness of social entrepreneurship.
Key elements of this Principles and Values Framework Agreement (which in the future will be further developed) are:
- Vision for a sustainable, solidary and social Greece, with a strong civil society
- A commitment to a common mission: to rebuild Greece with the implementation of feasible solutions towards social, economic and environmental challenges in Greece, particularly by developing ways out of poverty and social exclusion and by building a sustainable economy, enhance quality life for all, and by empowering people to fully benefit from social rights, democracy, gender equality and digital media
- Commitment to build the business model on the basic elements that characterize the social enterprise
- Commitment to cooperation and basing the work on the common values and principles (Code of Conduct), which protect social enterprises and their community from corruption, failures and misuse of the term "social enterprise".
This Principles and Values Framework Agreement is open for comments and improvements by social and solidarity economy actors, through an appropriate Web-Forum and it will lead through a systematic dialogue on a binding Code of Conduct.
- The final version of the Code of Conduct will be decided in a democratic and efficient manner by entities that will commit to apply this initial framework agreement. Representatives of social economy enterprises that will commit to shared values and principles will meet by March 2016 at the latest to finalize the Code of Conduct and sign it.
- Signatories will assume the role of capacity builders and networkers for the social enterprise community by,
- Organising mutual learning and providing support in managing social economy enterprises in line with the values and principles laid down in the Code of Conduct (such as needs assessment, goal setting, reporting, budgeting, quality standards etc.),
- Assisting teams that intend to start a social enterprise (coaching, mentoring, business and impact planning, etc.),
- Liaising with social enterprises outside Greece working in the same field to share good practices, tools and methods,
- Articulating the needs and demands of social enterprise vis-a vis civil society organisations, social finance providers, stakeholders and the government, through a establishing a web portal, organizing an annual conference and advocacy.

Considerations you should keep in mind when choose your tattoo style. Possibly the best source of inspiration when looking for a tattoo is tattoo magazines, they often contain full-color photos of truly first-class tattoos. Look for designs in magazines, books, posters, stickers, and everything else you can come across.
Some primitive tribes use tattooing as a rite of social status. The Maori, of New Zealand use tattooing primarily for this purpose. To the Maori, a person's Moko designs enhanced their prestige and show transition from one social status to another. At its highest level, Moko designs proclaimed the sacredness of chieftainship.

Rep. Matt Gaetz Sought Preemptive Pardon From Donald Trump: NYT
Gaetz is currently under federal investigation for potential sex trafficking in connection with an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl, focusing especially on whether he paid for her to travel with him. The Department of Justice is also probing whether Gaetz paid multiple women for sex on various visits to Florida alongside his close ally Joel Greenberg, the now indicted former Seminole County tax collector. Gaetz has denied the allegations.
It is unclear if Gaetz or Trump knew of the investigation into the Florida congressman, but the White House declined anyway, believing a priori forgiveness would establish an unseemly precedent, according to the Times.

DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio sheriff's department says a woman has been struck by a pet llama that was trying to greet her and has died.
A report by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office says former coroner Florence Lenahan apparently had a heart attack as she was being taken to a hospital.
The report says the 74-year-old Lenahan called for help Tuesday after a llama named Baby Doll slipped on wet grass while running to greet her and knocked her down, causing her to hit her head on concrete. It says there's no evidence the llama was acting maliciously.
Lenahan's family is working with the Delaware County Humane Society to find homes for the animals on her property.

Does anybody know the title of this song, assuming it's not an improvisation/new creation of Serj's? As an Armenian picking up the guitar, I'd love to try and learn how to play this.
In my friend group, there are always fights and drama when we play poker. There's a very hostile division between the people who play happy-go-lucky making jokes the whole time and the people who take the game seriously. It's come to fists before.
Lots of good stuff here. My favorite is taking a ton of vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, mushroom, zucchini, whatever you have on hand really) and cooking them in a pan you just cooked a steak in, in the juices. It's goddamn amazing.
I had to get the incision where my tonsillectomy was performed cauterized two weeks after the initial surgery because it opened back up and started bleeding. The anesthesia was having no effect on me, so my anesthesiologist wrapped his hands around my throat and choked me out to put me to sleep. Last thing I remember was throwing a punch, scary as fuck.
I'm pretty sure that chicken is cheaper per gram of protein than whey.
1 pound of boneless chicken thighs costs around $3 for 120 grams of protein**. This is $1 for 40 grams of protein.
The 5 pound ON whey protein costs $50 and has 74 servings of 24 grams per serving which brings the total grams of protein per dollar at: 74 * 24 / 50 = 35.
And I think milk might be even cheaper than chicken.
**EDIT: I get that this number might be totally off, you can adjust it to whatever you think your chicken has.
EDIT2: I used ON protein, since according to this it's the protein that actually has the amount of protein it advertises.

My boyfriend introduced house a container of these tremendous gentle and tiny two-bite scones from the grocery retailer the opposite day (yeah, he’s an enabler) and as I used to be having fun with one I famous simply how related the feel was to my new favourite 5-ingredient freezer biscuits. They’re gentle, deliciously gentle, and nearly soften in your mouth. I knew immediately that I needed to attempt to make these little two-bite scones myself.
To make them a bit sweeter than the common biscuits I added some powdered sugar, which additionally helped give them that melt-in-your mouth texture. For the lemon taste, I caught to a hearty dose of contemporary lemon zest, which provides a fantastically contemporary lemon taste with out making them bitter. I used the juice to make a easy lemon glaze, whose sweet-tart taste offered an exquisite distinction to the wealthy scones.
And I’ve made two batches of those scones previously week, so yeah, they’re harmful!!
And another notice. As with the 5-ingredient biscuits, you should use heavy cream for these. You completely want the excessive fats content material (35-38%) of heavy cream to get the right texture. So, no attempting to substitute half-and-half, almond milk, or something like that. Heavy cream or no go. (And for those who want extra details about the distinction between half-and-half, gentle cream, and heavy cream, take a look at this text.)
