Eleventh Grave in Moonlight
As a fan it hurts me that every freaking book is now a cliffhanger. I use to be the biggest advocate for this series, and honestly I just feel letdown as a fan of the series. I get so sick and tired of little info being put out each book that pertains to the big showdown at the end of whenever and then bam cliffhanger. It's now book 11, what are we waiting for? It's super convoluted, and I just find myself frustrated at best to describe it. I put in my time, money, energy and love into this seri ...more
The case she was trying to solve here was interesting enough, I guess, but I'm so underwhelmed by the way the ongoing story is unwrapping that I can't get too enthusiastic about this instalment.
I really wish this series stuck to a simpler formula of Charley being snarky and fun and solving mysteries with just a hint of the supernatural stuff. This is just to ...more
Now I have to wait another year to find out? Just get a gun and shoot me instead. It would be easier than the slow torture you have unleashed upon me, Darynda!
Ugh! So, anyway, in this installment, we have Charley trying to solve a case that involves the people who kidnapped her husband as a baby. These people, unlike most kidnappers, are bat-shit crazy. Like religious crazy, which is somehow worse. The way I see it, if you want to be evil assholes, why drag God into the mix? ...more
Watchful angels everywhere! a psychotic stalker, missing children and the sickest, most misguided religious adoption agency to ever see the light of day. To top it off; there is Eidolon...
That's right, there is no rest for the wicked. Or the godly. As in actual gods, of course. Our star-crossed crossed deities are unlikely to find peace on Earth anytime soon. Add a God Glass to the equation and things might get a little hairy...

Why this book?
I love this series
What I thought
This book was just plain awesome, but of course it was the whole series is awesome! I love Charley and all her shenanigans and Reyes and gang. It kills me every year to wait and see what they're going to be up to next. So much stuff happened in this book and so much is brought to light. There is never a dull moment. I liked how this book didn't feel as dark as the last two did and ...more
Jones' eleventh book is every bit as good as it possible can be. After eleven books one would expect things to start to get to be too much or even too little but instead, each page is infused with just as much humor, fun, and adventure as always, not to m ...more
There is never enough pages in these books ! Ms Jones writes so magically that it always feels like I just started the book then BAM it’s over. I get lost in the story, lose track of time and become totally emerged in Charlie Davidson’s world, fall so completely in love with her husband. Ah, I mean I really enjoy reading these characters. Falling in love with a fictional character would be nuts right ? I may be a little nuts.
Point of extreme interest-
-Charlie is evolving, superpowe ...more
I read the past three CHARLEY DAVIDSON titles, and looking back that was a mistake because Lorelei King’s voice has become as synonymous with these books as the t-shirt quotes. Things are still trucking along after 11 volumes, some for the better, and others not so much. Like any long running series, it’s had its hiccups. More questions get added while as others are answered, but overall ELEVENTH GRAVE IN THE MOONLIGHT was another set-up installment for what is to come, ...more
I enjoyed Eleventh Grave in Moonlight but as with most long running series I'm beginning to feel some fatigue. It took me much longer than usual to read this because I felt like the series has began to go off the rails a bit.
Darynda Jones is a masterful storyteller. She has somehow managed to keep this series funny, sexy, and filled with emotion. Despite my fatigue I will read book 12 which I believe will the last in the series.

Yes! another five star read and my first for this year. I love this series and every single book just keeps getting better and better.
In this book, Charley's up to her same old thing...solving mysteries and helping people at every turn but she is getting stronger with her powers. She is learning more about herself and thankfully Reyes is finally giving her some real help.
Of course, Reyes and Charley are my favorite parts of this whole series and I just love getting to know more about t ...more
Anyway onto the plot. There is so much converging here that ...more
I just can't believe this author! How she amazes me every time I read a book of hers. I just love Charlie and Reyes! This is one the the most beautiful and extraordinary series EVER!! I'll always read about Charlie.
This series is just getting better and better. The smexy scenes are incredible! I LOVED the plot this time, it didn't involve just the MCs but the side ones as well ( not so sidey...). I hope I see more of Shawn, he looked so cool...
This is a book you read in just one s ...more
I can honestly say that the Charley Davidson series is my all time favorite. Darynda Jones has cracked the code of keeping a series fresh even after 10 books. I love every character in this series and they all play such an important role in what makes this series so amazing. In Eleventh Grave in Moonlight Charley is up to her usual Private Investigating activities while also dealing with the paranormal danger that is hanging over the ...more
From the beginning until the very end I was caught up in her world; but let’s start from the top, shall we?
Something is up with Uncle Ubie, Angel gets a little touchy feely, and Reyes? Well… he gets some steamy prime time not ready for television moments. I really did love this installment. It feels like a throwback to the earlier books. It’s more focused and albeit still funny, just not as silly as she’ ...more
Personally, I try to stay away from any partic ...more
And now? I'm just enjoying the UF goodness.
Let's enjoy those godlike powers, shall we? It's BIG power. :) HUGE.
So why isn't the story overwhelmed with such huge powers and huge stakes?
It's Albuquerque. Nobody expects much of that place, I think. BUT GIMME MY HOT FOOD! ...more
The men in Charley’s life are trying to boss her around. Someone from Reye’s past has asked Charley to do some investigative work for him and Reye’s has ordered her to ‘Drop the case, Dutch’. Ubie is in a grumpy mood and has told Charley to stay at home or he will arres ...more
I love the way Charley has developed over the last 11 books to become what she has in book 12, however, she is only just starting to become what she is meant to become, where will that take us?
Can't believe Reyes done what he did and that Eleventh Grave in Moonlight ended with that cliffhanger!!
Bring on the next round!!
Unlike the turmoil in Curse of Tenth Grave, things felt a little more mellow. Say hello to snuggle time with Reyes and some traveling. Jones used these moments as a lesson for both Charley and the reader. We gain a better understanding of the true ...more
Humorous and captivating, with a healthy dose of mystery and passion threaded throughout, Eleventh Grave in Moonlight by Darynda Jones is a page-turner! Reyes and Charley's unique chemistry intensifies, so prepare yourself for some steamy moments. Unspoken fears and truths lead to a reality neither Charley or Reyes will be ready for. A MUST READ!!! Brace yourself! Jones delivers one of her best and most shocking nail-biting endings yet! Happy Reading!
This time around things are a bit slower for Charlie, at least in Charley’s world which is really saying something because the girl is always in the middle of something. During her “down” time she’s ta ...more
Charley is one of my favorite characters! She’s sarcastic, loyal, and tough.
In this book Charley begins by trying to figure out how to release innocent souls from a hell dimension and arrives at a plan that has her usual results. Bad.
Meanwhile she battles a cult, works to rescue missing children and work on her marriage.
Excellent book! 😊💕📖
Ok, so I've slept on it a bit. Not much re ...more
My review will probably saying nothing new compared to all the five star review for this book or any other book in this series. Most Likely it will say how awesome this book or this series is or how Jones has godly writing skills as she sucks us all into Charley Davidson’s world so deep we’re left in a worse case of reading slump. It also say how funny, emotional, nail biting and how sexy this book is. In truth, every word is meant with a passion and I’m sure I speak for everyone in that gro...more

Narrative, erotic power and black womanhood in the works of Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and Dionne Brand
Date of Completion
Literature, Modern|Black Studies|Literature, Canadian (English)|Women's Studies|Literature, American
Chapter One considers how black women's literary works critique traditional literary paradigms through retooling and remaking them. For Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and Dionne Brand, to be an erotic subject is to be in control over the use of one's body, mind, and spirit. With this control comes an articulation of these experiences beyond the limits and expectations of society. Within the imaginary scope of these three authors, the erotic is made manifest through rewriting narrative and poetic form. Chapter Two discusses how a paradox of belonging and un-belonging to a tradition of witnessing through autobiographical narrative emerges in Zami. Lorde's reinvention of the narrative reflects her understanding of language as a source of erotic power where one converts one's status from invisible to visible. Chapter Three discusses how Toni Morrison's novel Jazz offers a framework to examine human sensuality within the setting of a black community in flux. Morrison illustrates the erotic as a refuge from the mundane reality faced by black people living in Northern cities during the early part of the twentieth century. Jazz reworks traditional narrative structure in order to build her vision of black existence and the erotic. Chapter Four explores the novel At the Change and Full of the Moon. Brand dismantles the notion of a fixed definition of form and subverts literary structures in order to imagine pleasure through unfamiliar arrangements of language. Brand constructs a myriad of personalities to illustrate the multiplicity of voices and perspectives regarding black female experience. Chapter Five discusses how the erotic is a disruption of expectations of sameness and totality. For Brand, Lorde, and Morrison, writing the erotic is to use language to show the combining of spiritual love with sensual love. Within the imaginary scope of these three authors, the erotic is made manifest through the discontinuity of narrative and poetic form. ^

Study Finds Life Expectacy In Large Portions Of U.S. Are Stagnating Or Declining
"Large swaths of the United States are showing decreasing or stagnating life expectancy even as the nation's overall longevity trend has continued upwards, according to a county-by-county study of life expectancy over two decades," researchers at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington note in the journal Population Health Metrics, the Washington Post reports (Brown, 6/15).
"Nationwide, life expectancy for American men and women has risen over the last two decades, and some U.S. communities still boast life expectancies as long as any in the world, according to newly released data. But over the last decade, the nation has experienced a widening gap between the most and least healthy places to live. In some parts of the United States, men and women are dying younger on average than their counterparts in nations such as Syria, Panama and Vietnam," the Los Angeles Times reports. The study found that life expectancies for women in 737 U.S. counties out of more than 3,000, declined between 1997 and 2007 (Levey, 6/15).
"Despite the fact that the U.S. spends more per capita than any other nation on health, eight out of every 10 counties are not keeping pace in terms of health outcomes. That's a staggering statistic," Christopher Murray, IHME director and one of the paper's co-authors, said in an IHME press release (6/15).This is part of the Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

To examine the expression pattern of IGF2 isoforms in diabetic rat tissues and serum, and in serum of patients with Type 1 diabetees and retinopathy.
For in vivo experiments, retinas and serum were extracted from streptozotocin induced 12 week diabetic male Sprague-Dawley rats and used for the western blot (WB) for IGF2. For ex vivo experiments, retinas were extracted from normal rats and incubated for 15min with or without mature-, big-, or pro-IGF2 (1-100nM). WB and immunoprecipitation were performed to assess the effect of each IGF2 isoform on insulin receptor (IR) and IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) autophosphorylation. For in vitro experiments, differentiated R28 cells were serum-deprived for 6 hours with or without treatment by recombinant IGF2 isoforms (1-100nM). WB, caspase-3 activity assay and DNA fragmentation ELISA were performed to check the anti-apoptotic effect of each IGF2 isoform.
In retina, big- and pro-IGF2 levels were reduced in diabetic rat and mature IGF2 was not detected in both normal and diabetic rat. In serum, all IGF2 isoforms were detected and were reduced in diabetic rat. IGF2 treatment significantly increased IR and IGF1R auto-phosphorylation in ex vivo retina and phosphorylation of GSK3beta, P70 6K, mTOR, MAPK and Akt dose-dependently (p<0.01) in vitro. IGF2 significantly decreased caspase-3 activity and DNA fragmentation induced by serum deprivation in vitro. Mature, big- and pro-IGF2 phosphorylated all pro-survival kinases (p<0.01) and decreased caspase-3 and DNA fragmentation.
This data suggest that the reduced retinal and serum IGF2 levels may contribute to the development of neurodegeneration in diabetic retinopathy.

SISTAR’s Bora Missing Her Sexy Look in High School Photos
Recently, old high school photos of SISTAR’s Bora surfaced on the Web, shocking many fans that have only seen the sexy and mature side of the star singer.
In the photos titled, “SISTAR Bora who used to look innocent in high school,” Bora is seen wearing her high school uniform with barely any make up on.

India Business Leader Awards (IBLA) 2019 jury members Zarin Daruwala of Standard Chartered, Rajnish Kumar of State Bank of India and Aditya Puri of HDFC Bank spoke at length about the latest happenings in the financial sector and the non-banking financial company (NBFC) crisis.
Kumar said the first six months usually has negative loan growth, "For example, housing, we are still at the same growth YoY at 18 percent. Our express credit which is a very popular product is still 30 percent plus. Car loan, some slowdown. Corporate and working capital there is a decline. I am not seeing a decline in term loans but I am seeing a sharp decline in the working capital."
Puri said, "We are seeing an increase in our exports and are we seeing an increase in our lending to some smaller working capital business banking. The larger fellows are deleveraging and the economy is picking up."
Daruwala said heavy monsoon and NBFC's liquidity problem had a little bit of impact, "A lot of the measures that are being taken, hopefully, will show a lift and thankfully we have Diwali and festive season around the corner. So, the expectation is that we will see a lift from here.”

Highwood MLA Wayne Anderson is still waiting to see what comes of the investigation by Elections Alberta into what he's calling "irregularities" in last year's UCP nomination campaign.
Anderson says, so far it's been radio silence while the investigation moves along.
"I put a call into the inspecting group that had taken on conversations with myself and several other constituents here that were knowledgeable of the situation here in Highwood. We haven't heard anything yet. I think they're focused on the Callaway thing first and potentially the nomination thing second, that's what I'm assuming."
Anderson says he's paying a bit of a price for being so public about his concerns.
"I've heard nothing back from the central party, Janice Harrington, or anyone else. I think as far as they're concerned I'm persona non grata. But that being said, I'm still a member of the party and I'm still a member of caucus. So, I'm hoping the Executive Director and the Executive Board would contact me regarding some of these issues, but they've yet to reach out and I'm not surprised and I'm not holding my breath."
He says in the meantime, he continues to plug away as the riding's MLA.
R.J. Sigurdson won the vote and unless Elections Alberta rules differently, his name will be on the ballot for the UCP when we go to the polls in this Spring's provincial election.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton traded insults and sparred over temperament, stamina and judgment on Monday, in a fiery US presidential debate that often saw the Republican nominee on the back foot.
Before an anticipated television audience of up to 100 million, Trump praised Dubai and Qatar airports while comparing them to a few US airports with “third world” amenities.
“When we have $20 trillion in debt, and our country’s a mess, you know, it’s one thing to have $20 trillion in debt and our roads are good and our bridges are good and everything’s in great shape, our airports. Our airports are like from a third world country,” the Republican said.
“You land at LaGuardia, you land at Kennedy, you land at LAX, you land at Newark, and you come in from Dubai and Qatar and you see these incredible – you come in from China, you see these incredible airports, and you land – we’ve become a third world country. So the worst of all things has happened.”
Many netizens echoed his statement. A Twitter user said, “The only thing Trump said right is when he praised Dubai Airport.” More info

A Tale of Three Cities: Or the Glocalization of City Management
Cities are complex, sprawling, diverse places. They are organized, but disorganized; managed, but unmanaged; orderly, but disorderly. Modern metropolitan cities reproduce themselves and we are familiar with the common icons that are replicated in every part of the globe, but how should weunderstand cities?For the past five years, Professor Czarniawska has been leading a research project on globalization and the management of cities. Rather than seeing the city as a conurbation, or a location of economic activity, or in terms of governance and administration, Czarniawska explores the city as an actionnet. An action net of this sort includes various organizations-municipal, state, private, and voluntary-and non-organized individuals. Such an approach was designed to avoid the fallacy of viewing the big city as one big organization. The city is thus conceived as a particularly complex anddisorderly action net; a seamless web of interorganizational networks, where the city administration proper constitutes just one point of entry and by no means provides a map of the entire terrain. The research focuses on three European capitals: Warsaw, Stockholm, and Rome. At the outset, leading politicians and officials in each city listed the major problems and projects that the city was engaged in, for example environmental reforms, improvement of public utilities, privatization,financial targets, etc. The author selected a number of these for more detailed study, reporting upon interesting similarities and differences between the approaches taken. The book aims to explore organizing processes in their local context while following the connections between such contexts.

Expectant mothers who have created an adoption plan often spend a lot of time preparing for the hospitalization, but many forget to plan for themselves during the postpartum recovery period. With so many changes happening, it’s easy to put yourself aside. Regardless of how easy or difficult your birth was, there are some postpartum essentials you need to help you through your recovery. Stocking up on your recovery essentials before the baby arrives can help ease your pain and make your transition easier after giving birth. Let’s discuss your postpartum recovery checklist to help you prepare for the next step in your journey.

Recovery After Birth: How Long Does It Take?
Your postpartum experience will be unique. While everyone recovers at their own rate, the average recovery time for a vaginal birth is six to eight weeks. Recovery for cesarean sections is typically longer, usually averaging between ten to twelve weeks. As with any surgery or significant changes to the body, recovery is an ongoing process. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, postpartum care should continue for several weeks after giving birth.
Pregnancy changes your body in both physical and emotional ways, and those changes don’t stop once your baby is born. While some women feel fine a few days after giving birth, others need several weeks or months to recover. Your recovery can be longer when you experience complications, such as bleeding, soreness, and mood changes.
The most important thing to do as you recover is to listen to your body. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are concerned about your recovery. In the meantime, take advantage of some of these postpartum essentials that can help ease your pain and decrease recovery time.
Postpartum Essentials List
With all the questions, concerns, and changes happening in your life, it’s normal to forget to ask, “What do I need after giving birth?” That’s why we’ve gathered a list of some postpartum essentials to help make your recovery as stress-free as possible. Let’s jump right in!
Postpartum Essentials for Bleeding
The part of pregnancy that most people don’t want to talk about is the bleeding, but understanding what to expect can make things a lot easier for recovery. Lochia is a type of discharge from the uterus that occurs after you give birth. It is seen with both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It is a mixture of blood, mucus, and uterine tissue and can last for up to six weeks.
The following postpartum essentials will help handle lochia and ease any discomfort you might experience:
When it comes to lochia, it’s essential to understand that you can’t use tampons during your postpartum recovery. Pads are your only option. They’ll keep you clean during your postpartum, so stock up!
2. Peri Bottle
If you give birth in a hospital, you should get a peri bottle as part of your postpartum recovery supplies when you are discharged. Essentially, a peri bottle is a squirt bottle that keeps the area between your anus and genitals clean. It’s vital for postpartum self-care because it helps ease the sting of going to the bathroom and keeps you clean.
3. Heating Pad or Ice Packs
Both heating pads and ice packs work to ease pain and swelling in your vaginal area and your breasts after delivery. Keep both on hand to get temporary relief as needed.
4. Mesh Underwear
They definitely won’t make a fashion statement, but mesh underwear are a lifesaver after giving birth. They’re flexible enough to hold large pads and ice packs in place, and they’re comfortable. The best part is that they are disposable! This is another item the hospital may give you, but make sure to have some on hand for the first week postpartum.
Postpartum Essential for Soreness
Although you might not feel very sore shortly after giving birth, you can expect to feel some level of discomfort as your body starts to heal. Keep these supplies on hand to help you handle postpartum soreness.
1. Sitz Bath
A sitz bath is a small tub that sits over the toilet bowl. It can be filled with cold or warm water to help promote healing, improve circulation, and reduce swelling and pain after giving birth. Use it for twenty minutes at a time to ease soreness and discomfort in your vaginal area.
2. Donut Pillow
Many women experience hemorrhoids before or after giving birth. A donut pillow can ease soreness by taking pressure off hemorrhoids and your swollen perineum.
3. Perineal Spray
A local anesthetic spray, cream, or ointment can help relieve postpartum perineal pain after vaginal births. Several over-the-counter sprays contain benzocaine, aloe, lanolin, and menthol to soothe and moisturize your damaged skin. Talk to your doctor to make sure these products are right for you. They can also recommend a brand.
4. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers
Most women experience abdominal cramps postpartum. These are the last uterine contractions that continue after the baby arrives, known as afterpains. You can expect to experience these for four to seven days after giving birth, along with some pain and achiness from pushing and delivery. Talk to your doctor about which over-the-counter pain relievers best suit your needs.
5. Perineal Cooling Pad
You can find perineal cooling pads to help ease perineum soreness after giving birth. Apply them for a couple of hours for the first day and as needed for swelling and discomfort during your postpartum recovery. While you can easily use ice packs, these disposable maxi pads also help absorb lochia bleeding and don’t need to be frozen.
Postpartum Essentials for Breast Care
Whether you decide to breastfeed your baby or not, your body automatically makes breast milk. While your milk supply will dry up a few weeks after giving birth, if you don’t breastfeed, you’ll still need to take care of your breast postpartum. Have these supplies on hand for your postpartum breast care.
1. A Supportive Bra
After you give birth, your breasts may become full, heavy, tender, or engorged due to milk production. You’ll need a good, supportive bra to handle the extra weight of your breasts and make you comfortable as you adjust to the changes.
2. Breast Pads
Regardless of your feeding plan or lack of feeding plan, every new mom makes breast milk. Breast pads are disposable and can be placed inside your bra to cover the nipple and keep breast milk from leaking onto your clothing.
3. Nipple Cream
Most postpartum moms, and even those who don’t nurse, experience sore, cracked, or painful nipples. Several types of nipple cream and ointment are available over-the-counter to moisturize the skin and relieve tenderness and pain.
4. Cold Packs
Many birth mothers wish to speed up the process of drying up their milk supply. The lack of stimulation from not breastfeeding a baby will naturally halt milk production with time.
During this time, you can relieve pain and swelling by putting cold/gel packs in your bra or use cold compresses after a shower or bath. Protect your skin from extreme cold by placing a breast pad in between your skin and cold pack.
Also, cold cabbage leaves worn inside the bra can be soothing. Cabbage leaves have been used for a long time to relieve engorgement and help to dry up milk.
- Take apart and wash the leaves of green cabbage.
- Put the leaves in a container and put the container in the refrigerator to chill.
- Place one leaf over each breast before putting on a bra.
- Change leaves once they’ve wilted, or about every two hours.
Postpartum Essentials for C-Section Birth
Giving birth by C-section requires additional care to promote healing. If you know that you’re having a C-section in advance, keep these extra items on hand. If you have an unplanned C-section, have someone grab these items for you once you come home.
1. Stool Softener
Having a bowel movement after giving birth can be scary. Plus, anesthesia and other pain relievers can cause constipation. Having a stool softener available can help ease constipation and make it easier to go. If you continue to have problems with bowel movements postpartum, talk to your doctor to prescribe something more potent.
2. A Belly Pillow
While you don’t need to buy a special pillow after having a C-section, having an extra cushion for your belly can be a great help. You can use it to protect your abdomen while you’re holding your baby or to ease the pain you may experience when you cough, sneeze, or laugh.
3. Soft, Loose-Fitting Clothing
If you have a C-section, you’ll go home with an incision in your lower abdomen. Having soft, loose-fitting clothing available will help prevent irritation and promote healing. Talk to your doctor about other ways to help your incision heal postpartum.
A New Life After Birth
As you can see, there are several things you can get in advance to help ease the discomfort of giving birth and promote faster healing. While stocking up on these specific supplies can be a great help, you should also be sure to take care of your general health and well-being after giving birth. Stock your home with healthy food to fuel your body, and be sure to stay hydrated. While it’s great to stay active, talk to your doctor about restrictions.
In addition to your physical well-being, take care of yourself mentally and emotionally. If you plan to place your baby for adoption, talk to your local adoption agency to find support groups or schedule an appointment with an adoption counselor. Whatever your postpartum journey looks like, it’s essential to know that you are not alone. There are several resources available to women to help with their postpartum recovery.
Get the Support You Need for Postpartum Recovery with Texas Adoption Center

A new study found the rates of consultations for people seeking help from domestic violence increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. File Photo by Keizo Mori/UPI | License Photo
Abusive infant head trauma in France and domestic violence in Japan increased during the pandemic, showing the unintended consequences of trying to contain the spread of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable members of society.
That’s according to two studies published Tuesday in JAMA Network Open.
In the first study, researchers found a marked increase in the incidence and severity of abusive head trauma in infants from 2020 to 2021, during the pandemic’s first two years, in the Paris metropolitan area compared with the pre-pandemic period from 2017 to 2019.
The incidence of abusive head trauma in babies under a year old — the most severe form of child abuse and neglect — increased 2.5 times from July to December 2021 alone, compared with the pre-pandemic period.
Separately, a second study found the rates of consultations for people seeking help from domestic violence increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.
The researcher said the increase may have been due to an array of factors, “including economic instability, increased exposure to exploitative relationships and reduced support options.”
Such findings should prompt awareness among healthcare professionals and lead to new prevention strategies, researchers said.
The French study included cases of abusive head trauma in infants up to 12 months old, referred between January 2017 and December 2021 to Necker Hospital for Sick Children, the single regional pediatric neurosurgery center for the Paris metro area.
Dr. Alina-Marilena Lãzãrescu, a pediatrician in the hospital’s Department of Pediatric Anesthesia and Intensive Care, led the study.
Babies in the study had faced one or more subdural hemorrhages — bleeding between the brain and skull from severe head injury. Abusive head trauma was assessed by a multidisciplinary evaluation after a social, clinical, biological, and radiological workup.
Thirteen of the 99 infants with abusive head trauma died. Among the babies, with a median age of 4 months, 86 had bridging vein thrombosis; 74 had retinal hemorrhages; 23 had fractures; and 26 had status epilepticus, defined as a seizure lasting longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5-minute period without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes.
Twenty infants had skin injuries, and 53 had to undergo neurosurgery, according to the research paper.
Compared with the pre-pandemic period from 2017 to 2019, the incidence of abusive head trauma in babies under 12 months old was stable in 2020, and then significantly increased in 2021.
The researchers said in their paper that measures taken to contain the pandemic “deteriorated the psychosocial situation of adults, increased the periods where parents or guardians were at home for a prolonged time with their children, and reduced the intensity of prevention and early detection programs” for child abuse and neglect.
According to the researchers, abusive head trauma is the most frequent cause of traumatic death in infants in high-income countries. If babies survive, they may face “microcephaly, epilepsy, motor and visual deficiencies, language disorders, intellectual disability and behavioral abnormalities,” leading to severe lifelong disabilities.
They said efforts taken to reduce the spread of the coronavirus may have added to the risk of infant abuse because of “psychosocial distress,” including “economic loss and unemployment, frustration intolerance, adult psychiatric disorders, and intimate partner violence.”
Also cited were lifestyle changes during the pandemic’s first two years, including remote work from home, school and childcare facility closures, complete national lockdowns and curfews, as well as disorganized social services.
The investigators noted the Paris metro area is densely populated with two-thirds of its population living in small collective housing; and strong COVID-19 outbreaks led to prolonged lockdowns and curfews, remote work obligations and daycare center shutdowns.
According to second study, the rates of people seeking professional help for domestic violence have increased steadily in Japan since 2011. But there was “a considerable upward trend” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Again, the investigator cited pandemic restrictions that “increased time spent in domestic settings and contributed to income instability for both perpetrators and survivors” of domestic violence.
The study’s author was Xerxes T. Seposo, associate professor in the Department of Hygiene at the Graduate School of Medicine at Hokkaido University in Sapporo.
From 2011 to 2020, just over 1 million inquiries related to domestic violence were made in Japan, the research paper said. Of these, 98.1% were from females. Two-thirds of inquiries were made via call centers, while most of the rest were made during visits to facilities.
Annual inquiry rates for domestic violence rose to 38 per 1,000 population per reporting facility during the pandemic versus 32 per 1,000 before the pandemic, the investigator said.
And call center-based inquiries increased significantly during the pandemic: to 86,168 such calls in 2020, up from 68, 279 such calls annually from 2011 to 2019.
In his research paper, Seposo urged caution in trying to generalize Japan’s results to other countries.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A delegation of more than 80 leaders from Springfield’s business, education, nonprofit and public sectors will be in Lexington, Ky, Thursday to Saturday, Sept. 19-21, to examine best practices in targeted areas of vital importance to the Springfield region’s future economic prosperity.
This is the second Community Leadership Visit of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce to Lexington. Leaders visited Kentucky’s second largest city previously in 2003.
“Each year we select a community that is doing well in targeted areas and has ideas and best practices to share with Springfield,” said Springfield Chamber President Matt Morrow. “During this visit we plan to focus on significant projects that will impact Lexington’s downtown as well as educational and workforce efforts ranging from their investments in K-12, to the major role higher education plays in the community.”
The agenda for the 2019 trip will also cover Lexington’s success in becoming a place that attracts both experienced and young professionals. The delegation will also learn more about how the Lexington community is working collaboratively to improve the community including addressing challenges such as land use and a lack of affordable housing.
“We are always excited to welcome delegations from other cities to Lexington,” said Commerce Lexington Inc. President & CEO, Bob Quick, CCE. “Not only is it very flattering, but it confirms that Lexington is doing great things. Commerce Lexington Inc. has been leading intercity visits to other communities across the country for 80 years, and the trips provide us with valuable dialogue with other leaders, as we learn about their successes, challenges and setbacks. We are so pleased to interact with our friends from Springfield, Missouri, this week and can’t wait to show them everything that Lexington has to offer.”
Within the city limits Lexington’s population has grown 9.1% since 2010. Springfield’s population has grown 5.4% in that timeframe. The seat of Greene County in southwest Missouri is known as the Queen City of the Ozarks and the Birthplace of Route 66. As of 2018, the Census Bureau estimated its population at 168,122.
“Lexington has a growing workforce because it is a vibrant and desirable place to live with strong educational assets,” Morrow said. “We’ll be talking to peers about the community’s emphasis on the importance of identity and how they have managed to capitalize on their existing assets to build the city’s character and brand.”

There’s a scene in the opening story of Nam Le’s 2008 debut fiction collection The Boat that’s as funny as it is horrifying. In it, an Asian-Australian narrator is fighting writer’s block in his final year at the famed Iowa Writers’ Workshop. At a bar one night, he finds himself neck-deep in the kind of conversation you suspect people might be having behind your back — only this time no one bothers to wait until you’re gone. “Ethnic literature's hot. And important, too,” says one writing instructor. “I’m sick of ethnic lit,” a fellow student retorts, “It’s full of descriptions of exotic food.” Another adds: “You can't tell if the language is spare because the author intended it that way, or because he didn't have the vocab.”
Le’s trolls might be fictional — but the sentiment strikes a chord. In a world where the works of non-white writers still seem to be flattened as a ‘genre’, it’s not much of a stretch to see how — in a deep (and slightly embarrassed) corner of every reader’s mind — that there’s a temptation to cast writers of colour aside with a casual, “Read one, read them all”.
But a new generation of millennial writers is making Asian-Australian voices harder to ignore.
We speak with three up-and-coming writers who tell frank, unapologetic stories about sex, class, queerness and the subversive side of being a misfit — and are killing it in the literary scene. Each arrived at the writing path differently — but are all breaking new grounds by challenging the way we think about Australian literature. Playwright Michelle Law won universal acclaim with her debut play Single Asian Female (set to tour in Sydney’s Belvoir Theatre in 2018), author Julie Koh was recently named SMH Best Young Novelist for her smart, satirical story collection Portable Curiosities, while essayist Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen found her voice with a powerfully honest story in Tavi Gevinson’s Rookie Magazine and continues to pen intimate, viral essays as a widely-read columnist. We talk about each writer’s influence, the strangeness of ‘default’ Australian voices and what it’s like to work as a writer of colour in a mostly-white publishing world.
How do you guys feel about being referred to as Asian-Australian writers? Is the hyphen annoying? And in a sense does it imply that white voices are still the default Australian voice? (Imagine a writing panel being introduced as emerging White-Australian voices...)
ML: I don’t love it (!) but it works in two ways. I dislike it in Australia because that label is still othering and makes you feel as if you’re about to step on stage at the token diversity panel at a writers festival, but I wear it like a badge of pride in Asia and amongst Asian communities because it makes me feel included.
JK: No one is born hyphenated. Growing up, I would have described myself as Australian. Now, in the literary world, I say I’m Asian-Australian because it helps other people categorise me (which is clearly everything I ever wanted from life). Earlier this year at Perth Writers Festival, Ken Liu said that he prefers to be described as American, not Asian-American. He and Michelle are right: it’s othering. I’ve been touring [my book] Portable Curiosities for a year and a half now, and I can’t tell you how tired I am of doing diversity-focused panels. I long to be a “default” Australian voice.
GAN: I’m proud of it. Especially in the mainstream media, there still aren’t that many Asian faces or voices…The ideal is that we arrive at a point where we’re just considered writers, not Asian writers, and are no longer asked to appear on panels about diversity or race or whatever, but the reality is that we’re not there yet, so for now I’m happy to be a part of this movement that I feel is bigger than me – and hope that it takes us to the right place.
You each deal frankly with topics like sex, gender, mental illness, queerness, and alopecia. How much is the subversive nature of your writing intentional? And to what extent does it just emerge from the internal logic of your work?
ML: I don’t think I try to be subversive; I try to stay truthful to the worlds and communities and lives I know, and because those worlds and people are so rarely given a platform my work is regarded as subversive. If a show/play/podcast/lineup features an all white team I immediately switch off – not out of protest, but because I’m f—king bored! I’m so bored out of my mind consuming the same, white bread and mayo stuff. I want to learn and be challenged.
JK: I’m generally subversive in my life and fiction. It comes with the territory of having been born into this body, and into a world in which the systems and institutions we have created do not necessarily produce just outcomes. When I sit down to write a short story, the subversiveness is sometimes intentional and sometimes incidental.
I long to be a “default” Australian voice
GAN: I write what I wish I’d been able to read when I was younger. I grew up in a very strict, traditional family, and my views on sex and relationships in particular were really stifled and unhealthy for a long time. Writing about these things is a way for me to reach out to other young people from conservative backgrounds, but also a way for me to sort through my own feelings and work things out for myself. I only came out as queer a year ago due to my upbringing, and though my family is very supportive, it took a long time to get there. I do strongly believe that me being so outspoken about these private aspects of my life through my writing helped both myself and my parents come to terms with them more easily. I don’t see it as subversive as much as I see it as a telling of truth.
How white do you find the Australian publishing sector and grants committees? And how do you think that impacts on whose work gets commissioned, promoted or published?
ML: Generally speaking (when you’re not including things like Asian-Australian writing platforms like Peril) I know of a handful of POC agents, publishers and editors combined. So I’d surmise the vast majority of them are white, and that’s concerning because that means they can’t actually discern what is authentic, and in the case of editors – they’re shaping a book from a white perspective. Which, you know, we’re so severely lacking.
JK: I don’t know much about the world of literary grants, but I do think Australian publishing is very white. It can influence whose work gets attention. I don’t come across many publishers and editors of colour, and I think this needs to change. I was really lucky to have worked with an Asian-Australian editor, Ian See, on Portable Curiosities. He showed my short stories to UQP, which is how I got my book deal. He’s an incredible editor and completely on my wavelength – we’re very close.
GAN: It is pretty damn white. I often wonder if I get approached for things because of the diversity aspect. There are a lot of great POC writers in Australia gaining prominence, which I’m so happy to see, but when the industry itself is still largely white it does make me wonder. Like Julie, I’ve also worked with Ian See – he edited an essay I wrote for the 2016 anthology Doing It, and was an absolute delight to work with. Another amazing Asian editor in Australia is Adolfo Aranjuez, who edits Metro and Archer – he’s an absolute powerhouse.
For beginning writers, finding steady footing in the writing world while trying not to “feel like a fraud” can be hard. How do you find community in the arts circle for emotional support?
ML: Cast your net far and wide, whether that means studying creative writing at uni so you’re already lumped with a cohort of like minded people, going to writers festivals, doing writing workshops, or joining a writers group. Meet heaps of people and then choose a handful of those people to be your people. By which I mean: Do you trust them? Do you respect their work? Are they a true artist? (By which I mean, they’re competitive with themselves and are invested in contributing to the world, rather than tearing down other people in the industry.) Can you comfortably sit in silence with them over beers?
JK: I agree with Michelle. Turn up to literary events now and then. But if you feel you don’t fit there, move on. It can take a while to find your tribe, if you even have one!
GAN: I’m really lucky in that I have a super supportive network of writer friends. Going to events like National Young Writers Festival helped me connect with other writers, and get over (at least a bit) the imposter syndrome that I’d had for a long time. There are some fantastic Facebook groups for writers, which I’ve found really helpful as a resource and also as a place to vent about writer things that my non-writer friends wouldn’t understand.
I often wonder if I get approached for things because of the diversity aspect
What are you currently working on? What projects can we look forward to see from you in 2018?
ML: My web series Homecoming Queens will be out on SBS, and my play Single Asian Female will be on at Belvoir St Theatre in Feb/Mar!
JK: I’m writing the libretto for a satirical opera, Chop Chef. It’s about a reality TV cooking competition in which each eliminated contestant dies in a manner appropriate to their culinary specialty. We’ll release snippets from the opera in 2018, and hope to stage the whole shebang in 2019. You’ll also see more hilarity from Kanganoulipo. We’re totally legit now because one of our members, Ryan O’Neill, has just won the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction.
GAN: I’m slowly (so, so slowly) working on a memoir project about my parents’ journey to Australia as Vietnamese refugees. It’s been really emotionally gruelling to interview them (especially my dad about his experiences as a soldier) so I’ve been taking my time, but I hope to make more progress in 2018 and, with any luck, have a complete manuscript by the end of the year.
If you have a bunch of money for an advance, or a grant to give away today, which Asian-Australian writer's work would you commission and why?
ML: I’d use the money to set up a scholarship for a young Asian Australian writer in high school hoping to study it at uni.
JK: I’d let the cash rain down on Tom Cho, author of Look Who’s Morphing. His work is brilliant and I’m hungry for more of it.
GAN: I like Michelle’s idea!
Dear book nerds...
Want to read more? Look out for these indie journals and rising literary stars in 2018, who also happen to be Asian-Australian.

Mapping Youth Culture
The Cue Group is more than just a consulting firm; it is a creative laboratory, a think tank, and a hub of cultural anthropologists. At the Cue Group we are purveyors of culture, and we network within multi-cultural and millennial communities to bring our clients insight into the changing American and global demographics.
This project was a collaboration between Kweli Washington, Cue Group Founder and Principal, and Melissa Gray Washington, Cue Group Creative Director. It was born out of a frustration with the way large consumer corporations try to engage youth sub-culture and, oftentimes, the minority groups that fall into these sub-cultures. Historically, consumer companies have segmented their markets based solely on racial identification. They hire celebrities, like Beyoncé or Britney Spears, to engage young people. They spend large amounts of money using celebrity spokespeople. The thought is "If Britney drinks Pepsi, then so should I."
We at the Cue Group disagree with this approach. In the changing world of the 21st Century, corporations have to be more thoughtful about how to engage customers. We embarked on this project to 1) redefine youth culture, and, in particular, the various sub-cultures that comprise youth culture and 2) determine how to effectively engage these sub-cultures in a meaningful, authentic way. We call this endeavor The New Consumer Taxonomy, a fresh approach to market segmentation based on cultural affinity rather than racial identification.
With the Community Understanding and Engagement (CUE) method, we used ethnographic research to understand the culture, influence patterns, and values that define these subcultures. Below are a few illustrative examples of some of the sub-cultures we identified.
We turned our observations into a Market Segmentation. I created the matrix below to qualitatively describe some of the characteristics of these groups. I worked with Kweli Washington to devise a method to quantify the market size of each group using a variety of assumptions based on our understanding from our research. (Note that Market Size data has been removed as it is proprietary information of the Cue Group).
We pitched this idea to a global advertising firm, and it was very well received. In fact, the advertising firm brought us in to pitch our work to a major sports league which was undergoing policy changes in order to more effectively engage their customers.

Every time I see another collection from Time-Life, I am once again floored by the skill and determination they exhibit in assembling these things. I can almost picture a room full of elves, all with little phonographs spinning furiously as they listen to endless oldies, deciding which to include in their latest boxed set.
The elves must have worked their tiny fingers to the bone with Flower Power: Music Of The Love Generation, a new anthology that continues the theme of the Summer Of Love but expands on both sides of 1967. It’s 10 CDs with an amazing total of 175 songs from the late 1960’s to the early 1970’s, and although I lived through that period I’m still staggered by how many memorable songs it produced.
The set is divided into five double CD sets, each with a theme that’s explored in an included booklet, and all are enclosed in a nice little box covered with a psychedelically decorated VW van. (I think I remember seeing that van around in those days — it always looked smoky inside, and had a funny aroma emanating from it.)
The five dual sets (10 CDs) are titled Groovin’, The Time Of The Season, Born To Be Wild, Age Of Aquarius, and finally Summer Of Love, which is the pair devoted exclusively to that magic year of 1967. (That dual set – with an added DVD – has been available separately since June.)
The five themes do help structure and organize things a little for us, but although some songs are obvious matches, such as Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild” included in the – surprise – Born To Be Wild set, others could be considered appropriate for more than one set. Bottom line, if you’re looking for favorites you should check the complete listing carefully.
Here are some of the tracks, but keep in mind that what I’m giving you is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. (Or maybe it would be more appropriate to say that it’s sort of like the paint job on the VW van — it just hints at the delights inside.)
Flower Power: Groovin’: The Monkees: Daydream Believer * The Bee Gees: I started a Dream * The Kinks: You Really Got Me * The Young Rascals: Groovin’ * Peter, Paul & Mary: Leaving on a Jet Plane * Seals & Croft: Summer Breeze * Tommy James and the Shondells: Crystal Blue Persuasion * Jonathan Edwards: Sunshine * Sonny & Cher: I Got You Babe.
Flower Power: The Time of the Season: Aretha Franklin: Bridge Over Troubled Waters * Alice Cooper: School’s Out * The Moody Blues: Nights in White Satin * Brewer & Shipley: One Toke over the Line * The Shocking Blue: Venus * Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt: Different Drum * Oliver: Good Morning Starshine * The Zombies: Time of the Season.
Flower Power: Born to Be Wild: Elton John: Rocket Man * Joe Cocker: The Letter * Steppenwolf: Born to Be Wild * The Mamas & the Papas: California Dreamin’ * The Grass Roots: Midnight Confessions * Marvin Gaye: What’s Going On * The Impressions: People Get Ready * Smith: Baby It’s You.
Flower Power: Age of Aquarius: Santana: Black Magic Woman * Big Brother & the Holding Company: Piece of My Heart * The Byrds: Mr. Tambourine Man * Blood, Sweat and Tears: And When I Die * Janis Joplin: Mercedes Benz * Donovan: Mellow Yellow * The Guess Who: American Woman.
Summer of Love: Procul Harem: A Whiter Shade Of Pale * The Turtles: Happy Together * The Association: Windy * The Mamas & the Papas: Creeque Alley * The Beach Boys: Heroes and Villains * Reflections: Diana Ross and the Supremes * The Monkees: Pleasant Valley Sunday * The Music Machine: Talk Talk.
Any collection of this sort can never be all-inclusive. After all, there is a limit to the number of tunes you can cram into a set, and there will be some not available because of licensing issues, but the clever elves at Time-Life have done a pretty good job with their labors on this one.
One thought on “REVIEW: Flower Power: Music Of The Love Generation”
Terrific information. I will definitely come back again.

IFigt 3 is an edge viewof the combined bench and folding cot. showing the same in the closed positio I Fig. 4 is another edge view of the device showing the same partially extended and, locked in position to be used as a table.
. Fig. 5 is an 'enlargedfraginentary.detailed view taken through the articulated upper ends of the lazy tong bars,.and1
Fig. 6 is an end-view of the completely closed device as shownin Fig.3.."
With particular reference at thistime to the specific construction of, the novel'combined bench and folding cot illustrated in the acompanying drawing wherein like reference characters "refer to similar parts throughout the several views, the numeral. 8 indicates the well known lazy tong side frames of a folding cot which are made up of lazy tong bars 10 articulated as at 12 intermediate the ends of said bars 10 and as at 14 at the lower ends of the bars 10. The upper articulated ends of lazy tong barslO are pivotally secured together by a specially constructed eye bolt 16 having its eye disposed inwardly. The eyes of the set-of eye bolts 16 along one lazy tong side frame 8 pleasing appearance to the threaded end of eye bolt 16 which normally would be presented to view. Flexibletop 22 may be made the lower side of flexible top 22-adjacent the two edges. In stitching this strip 26 the outer line of stitching should be in the form of grommets 28 which secure the outer edges of strip 26 and flexible top 22'together. If desired, a line of stitching such as shown at 30 may also be provided. After the groin mets have been set or the stitching alongthe outer edge has been done, the inner line of stitching 30 should be placed only after a fullness has been caused to take place in the flexible top between these two lines of stitching. As shown in Fig. 5 this construction causes reinforcing strips 26 to bear against the ends of lazy tongv bars 10 and tobe stretched tightly around the top of the lazy tong side to engage eye bolts 16. In. this fashion weight upon the flexible top 22 which would normally cause the top to wear at this point is transmitted directly to this reinforcing strip 26.
As is customary in constructing folding deviceswherein the lazy tong principle is used, braces 32 are provided which. extend across from one set of lazy tong side frames to the other. It may also be desirable to interpose angle blocks 34 between these braces 32 and the lazy tong bars 10.
To even further reinforceflexible top 22 and to carry out one of the basic principles of this invention, the device is provided with a continuous webbing strip 36 which is threaded through eye bolts 16 to slidably engage the same and to join the two sets of lazy tong side frames in crosslaced fashion as shown in Fig. 2.
In threading this continuous webbing strip 36 through the eye bolts and across from side to side, a system .of threading similar to that shown in Fig. 2 should be followed, not necessarily however, but in order that the ends of the continuous webbing strip 36 might be in a position to be joined by a tension adjusting device 38 which in the instance shown is the. well known turnbuckle having right and left threads which permits drawing togetheror allowing the ends of continuous strip to be pulled apart as the same 'is'operated. Continuous webbing strip 36 is positioned beneath the longitudinally extending reinforcing strips 26 and when weight is placed upon flexible top 22 a bringing together of these elements just named distributes the weight through-out the entire structure in a manner which does not permit a strain to be imparted to any particular point through-outthe construction. This pointis highly advantageous in folding devices of this character and even after the device hasbeen used slack can be taken out of the continuous webbing strip 36 and the same moved to the properly adjusted sets as a housing for the upper end and completely obscures the flexible top 22.
It is obviousthat any number of leaves 40 might be hingedly inter-connected to form a suitable table top-to over-lie the lazy tongs when they-are extended as shown in Fig. 4. \Vhenth device is'used as a'cot these leaves 40 would belpositioned at the head as shown in Fig. 1. locking device is provided which may be made up of a hook ll carried by the lazy tong side frames atappropriate'points where the same may be moved into engagement with rings 46 carried by the outer-most edge of the last leaf 4L0 ofthe series. As shown in Figs. 1, 3andt one. of the leaves 40 of the series should be hingedly connected as at tS to the ends of the side frames 8. Through this construction and the proper positioning of the locking members, a table or the like such as shown'in Fig. l will be rigidly held together and the lazy tong sides 8 kept from extending or contracting while the device is in use. 7
While one specific form of the invention has been shown it is understood that many modifications might be made and various refinements added such as the locking bar 50, used to preclude closing of the lazy tong sides when the same-is in use as a cot, and many other devices not herein shown or mentioned.
The many uses and operation of the .device have been made clear throughout the specification.
While one form of the invention has been shown and described in detail, it is understood that many modifications might be made in constructing devices embodying the invention without departing from the spirit position through the novel and extremely of the same or the scope of the appended claims.
hat is claimed and desired to be secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a combined bench and folding cot, lazy tong side frames, a flexible top supported by the side frames, eye bolts pivotally joining the upper end of the articulated lazy tong bars, the eyes of said bolts of one of the side frames being disposed toward the eyes of the bolts of the other of said side frames, a continuous webbing strip threaded through said eye bolts to connect the side frames in cross-laced fashion and a tension adjusting device joining the. ends of said Webbing'strip, said flexible top passing down the sides of said lazy tong frames to engage said eye bolts at their ends opposite from the ends engaging said Webbing strip.
2. In a combined bench and folding cot,
' lazy tong side frames, a flexible top, a plurality of spaced apart strips extending longitudinally of the top and reinforcing the same, said strips being secured at their ends to the end tie members of the lazy tong side frames, a reinforcing strip being stitched to said flexible top along each side respectively, said strips being stitched to the under side of the top with fullness allowed between the lines of stitch whereby when the strips lie along the upper ends of the side frames and extend doWn-Wardly along the sides thereof the weight on the topis transmitted to said stitched reinforcing strips through the inner lines of stitching.
3. In a combined bench and folding cot, lazy tong side frames, a flexible top, a plurality of spaced apart reinforcing strips extending longitudinally of the top and secured at their ends to the end tie members of the lazy tong side frames, a reinforcing strip being stitched to said flexible top along each side respectively, said strips be- 5; ing stitched to the lower side of the top with fullness allowed in the top between the lines of stitch, said top and stitched reinforcing strips extending over the tops of the lazy tong side frames to beattached thereto at the sides thereof whereby weight on the top is transmitted to the ends of the lazy tong sides through the reinforcing strip and the inner line of stitches securing the same to the top.

With The Emperor’s New Clothes currently running in the Main Theatre space, Peter Glanville – Artistic Director of Polka Theatre announces the run of The Paper Dolls, which plays in Polka’s Adventure Theatre, opening on 28 May, with previews from 21 May, and runs until 7 August.
This major revival sees Glanville return to direct his adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Rebecca Cobb’s much-loved book of the same name, in a co-production between Polka Theatre and Little Angel Theatre.
Peter Glanville said today, “It has been wonderful to revive my adaptation of Julia Donaldson’s book which celebrates a child’s imaginative world as well as gently exploring themes of love and loss. Lyndie Wright, founder of Little Angel Theatre made the most beautiful puppets and props which are inspired by Rebecca Cobb’s beaming illustrations and Julian Butler composed an evocative soundtrack which gently takes us into the animated world of tigers, crocodiles and pigs as well as the little girl’s memory.”
When a little girl makes a string of paper dolls, she takes them by the hand on a fantastical adventure. Whirling through the home and garden, they fly through the air, until they are confronted with some very sharp scissors…
Adapted from the acclaimed picture book created by former Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson with award-winning illustration by Rebecca Cobb, The Paper Dolls comes to life with stunning puppetry and original music in Polka Theatre’s much-loved production.
The Paper Dolls plays in Polka’s Adventure Theatre 21 May – 7 August

I arrived in Holland on the 27th of February.
From the moment I stepped onto the flight from Newark to Amsterdam…
my life began to transform.
Days before my trip, I commanded myself
to return, full force and completely dive into life…
instead of locking myself away from it.
This blog has proven itself to be both a curse and a blessing.
It helped absorb my entire being so far into certain aspects of my life
that I’ve resurfaced
Unstoppable, on top of the galaxies, blanketed by an endless peace and clarity to
where, I’m as the song – playing through my skull right now – states:
Safe from any attack that comes my way.
Mentally, at least.
Fire away, fire away!
When you claw your way down to the deepest, loneliest foundations of
everything you are, everything that you’ve been and everything that’s injured and
darkened you along the way…
you experience a certain freedom
if you make it out the other end…
towards, “the light.”
Since 2003, I’ve had an existence, an incomplete piece of me, shadowing my every step.
This blog started out as a dedication to that piece.
2003 was also the year I took my life…
but the world wasn’t ready for me to leave.
In the medical field, I’m considered a “miracle.”
I’m more alive today, than I’ve been, possibly ever.
It’s cuz I let go. I’ve finally let go of the item of my obsession.
The “circle” I felt was meant to be and worth fighting for…living for…
2013 would be a decade!
This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve let go, but this is my most complete detachment.
Everytime I opened up my hands and released the future I believed was meant to be
and the future I believed I could create just because it was pure
just because I had the drive
just because I felt, we’ve come so far, fought so hard
loved beyond sight and gone through SO much
just because I felt evil is NOT supposed to prevail…
the world showed me, it’ll be ok, and rains the sweetest droplets of strength, happiness and unimaginable opportunities
upon the once dry, cracked, weakened roads in which I walked
and hinted to me, each time..
to just let go.
Let go, and “I” shall provide.
The more we try to control our lives, the more the world seems to want to get in the way.
So that’s why, I now flow.
I’ve gained the wisdom, that I can do my best and give it my all…
but if it’s not meant to be, it won’t.
Killing yourself fighting an uphill battle, in the rain, through slippery mud
while tree trunks, stones, cars and countless other debris roll down your path
leaving you in the same spot, no matter how hard you muscle your way towards the top
is a sign.
Because you aren’t progressing.
Life is passing you by as you are deadlocked on this one focal point.
Close your eyes, shake your head
and open your eyes again…
to the bigger picture.
Relax your sight…
and just accept the moment
I haven’t written like this is a while, because I was allowing myself a break
from the things that concern me the most in the world around me.
The “evils” in which I want to extinguish.
The strings I thought I could eventually strengthen and reel in.
The pieces to my whole, for almost 10 years, I felt
were my destiny.
A part of me, yet no longer towing me away from my present.
As I said, right now, I’m STACKED with chaos.
With the lives of others on my shoulders.
To the most extreme levels I’ve ever experienced.
I’m MORE than ok.
I should be having a mental breakdown…
but surprisingly, worries came and gone and I’m light as a feather…
floating almost as if I had NOT a care in the world.
Maybe someone slipped me some Prozac?
I had an entirely different entry to write about today
was thinking about merging it with this one…
but there are too many pictures
and I’m done.
I don’t force my writings.
I kinda used to, because I wanted to stick to the 365 days…
but now, I let it flow
From my mind to my fingers…to you.
Today, went from amazing to disastrous to UNBELIEVABLY incredible.
So, I will eventually share.
But I want it shared properly. So, I’ll most likely post tomorrow…
and I’d appreciate if you’d check in, cuz it’s kinda special to me.
One hint about tomorrow’s entry is it has to do with my new number:
Sit tight, K?
And, HAPPY HUMP DAY!
If you didn’t catch it when I first posted the song, here’s the vid.
Pretty awesome cuz it’s the actual video.
When I posted it, they didn’t release one as yet. So, enjoy.

Casting of the film came at a time when women were just homemakers and had an obligation to be faithful to their husbands and be morally upright.
Phyllis Dietrichson, a dissatisfied wife, starts an affair with Billy Wilder, an insurance agent.
Conclusion In the 1940s, film noir movies came into existence at a time when women were under the spell of men who had all the power in their hands.
Men viewed women not as human beings but as sex objects and part of their possessions to be shown around.
Thesis statement Men have continuously been portrayed as obsessive, brooding and cynical in film noir movies, which mistreat and disrespect women by virtue of their power in the society; however, the struggles these characters go through mostly end up in failure.
Double Indemnity Critical Essays
Development At the time of the film the role of women in the society was that of menaced to woman.

WA regional venues to receive upgrades
Last week, the Liberal National Government announced a number of regional Western Australian performing arts venues would receive upgrades as part of a four-year $24 million Creative Regions program, made possible by Royalties for Regions.
According to a media release by the WA government, $2.09 million in grants through Round Two of the Regional Venues Improvement Fund (RVIF) will upgrade 13 performing arts venues in regional Western Australia.
Regional Development Minister Terry Redman says the $24 million program is one of the largest investments in regional culture and arts made by any government in Australia.
“The fund is one of five schemes under the Creative Regions program which aims to improve infrastructure and establish opportunities for the development of arts and culture through venue upgrades, developing skills and capacity of local arts groups, increasing the number of touring shows and helping Aboriginal art centres,” he said in the statement.
“Included in this round is a $500,000 grant for the Shire of Augusta Margaret River to refurbish and extend the Margaret River Cultural Centre, while the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre will receive $212,178 to for technical upgrades to the front of house and back of house in the Boardwalk and Fishtrap theatres.”
Culture and the Arts Minister John Day emphasised the importance of making sure regional performing arts centres were well equipped to host all manner of performers, enabling more artists to tour the regions.
“The RVIF will help to improve regional arts venues and provides arts organisations and artists with the support to deliver an expanded variety of experiences to their communities,” he said.
“The second round of the RVIF had a strong response with applications from across WA, highlighting the important role cultural centres play in regional communities.”
