Senegal train ahead of World Cup clash against England
Australia fans were seen going wild in the early hours of the morning in Melbourne during their celebrations of Mathew Leckie's goal which saw Graham Arnold's side through to the knock-out stages of the World Cup. The Aussies needed a victory over Denmark to ensure qualification, while France were defeated 1-0 by Tunisia in the other game in Group D.
Leckie's goal was vital, as without it due to Tunisia's shock victory over the French the African side would have finished second and ahead of Australia. Arnold's outfit finished with six points, level with France, but finished second due to their inferior goal difference.
Following their opening 4-1 defeat to France, Australia bounced back with 1-0 wins over Tunisia and then Denmark, keeping clean sheets in both while Leckie and Mitchell Duke's goals secured the victories.
In the 60th minute on Wednesday, Australia launched a counter attack that saw Leckie fed, he twisted and turned to get past defender Joakim Maehle and then his left-footed finish rolled past Kasper Schmeichel in the Danish goal.
Australia fans celebrating with flares during their World Cup win over Denmark.
Following their qualification to the round of 16, Australia will face the winner of Group C on Saturday. Argentina are favourites to win the group, but all four teams could still progress to the next stage.
Poland top the group ahead of the final set of games, one point ahead of Lionel Messi and co who they face on Wednesday.

Gary Neville left red-faced over Spain comment following 7-0 Costa Rica hammering
Cristiano Ronaldo 'close to accepting two-year contract' as Newcastle transfer ruled out
A draw between Argentina and Poland will see Australia face Robert Lewandowski's side, unless Saudi Arabia also defeat Mexico in the group's other game.
Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in their opening game of the tournament in one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history, and have the same amount of points as Lionel Scaloni's side but sit in third due to goal difference.
Should they claim victory over Mexico while Group C's other game finish as a draw, Saudi Arabia will surprisingly finish ahead of all three teams and set up a clash with Australia.

A Chief Judge Resigns After Admitting Inappropriate Touching
The chief judge of the superior court in Georgia’s Cobb County has resigned after admitting to a local newspaper that he “flicked” the bottoms of two women from the district attorney’s office who sat on his lap for photos.
Judge Kenneth Nix announced Tuesday that he will retire Oct. 4, the day of his 71st birthday, according to stories by the Fulton County Daily Report, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Marietta Daily Journal. Nix told the Marietta Daily Journal in an earlier story that, after the photo shoot with the two women, he “flicked them both on the fanny.” The newspaper published the lap photo.
“That was a stupid, stupid mistake,” Nix told the Marietta Daily Journal. “I don’t think that’s sexual harassment. I think it’s stupid of me to do it. It may be improper touching, but it’s not to be such that you know I should be whatever.”
The women, Assistant District Attorney Susan Treadaway and deputy investigator Glenda Roberts, said in a statement that what happened during the photo shoot was “more serious than reported,” the Mariette Daily Journal says. The women said they had visited Nix’s office to say good-bye to him after a courtroom reassignment.
“The judge asked us to sit on his knee just like he does to other female attorneys every Christmas when he is wearing his Santa Claus suit. He is a 70-year-old man and even though we both were reluctant to grant his request, it is sometimes difficult to say no to a grandfatherly figure and it would have been awkward. What happened later was a crime when he inappropriately touched us. What occurred was more serious than was reported.”
Nix told the Fulton County Daily Report that he is resigning to avoid an investigation into his conduct. According to the story, “He said he also feared an exploration into possibly other issues that could embarrass him and his family.”
District Attorney Patrick Head and the two women say they did not file an ethics complaint against the judge or take any legal action. Head said Nix’s retirement is “disturbing” and he is “a well-respected jurist and has served with distinction for many years.”
The vice-chair of the Judicial Qualifications Commission, Judge John Allen of Muscogee County Superior Court, echoed that assessment. “I’ve known Ken for many years,” he told the Fulton County Daily Report. “He is one of the finest judges and persons I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. His retirement will be a loss to the public.”

…and two for tea, etc. I love tea. I don’t drink as much of it as I mean to, largely due to lack of an electric kettle and a teapot. I have so far scorched and ruined two saucepans by putting water on to boil and forgetting about it, plus the kitchen and my office slash workspace are “far apart.” Look, navigating stairs when you’re terrified of breaking your foot again and there are three cats playing Catch the Foot on the Stairs, it seems far. OK?
So our tax refund is supposed to be deposited tomorrow, and I have nefarious plans to use some of it for tea. I’m planning to order from Adagio Teas, so I can get their IngenuiTea set (chortle chortle at the name). It is actually rather an ingenious tea-brewing device for single cups, and seems like it will be both more convenient and easier to clean than brewing loose tea in a pot or using a mesh ball. I hate cleaning mesh screens. Hate. And everyone knows loose tea is better, right? They’ve got starter sets for $19, including four sample-sized tins of teas. Not bad, I don’t think. Of course, I need rather more than four tiny tins, so I’ll be adding some other flavors to my order. I’ll be sure to let you all know how it turns out. I’ve been meaning to place this order for, oh, something on the order of four years now. It will be nice to finally hit submit on the shopping cart.
I’m also organizing a tea swap for a message board I frequent (hello, Members of the Order of Wooden Spoons). I decided that it would be easiest simply to have everyone mail their teas to me; with eight participants, each person will be getting 24 different teas to try. Well, if you count their own. Otherwise, it’s 21. Many folks are sending loose leaf teas, and I’ve had at least one of them ask if they can just send it to me and have me split it. I said sure, because I’m stocked on tiny baggies and have a gram scale. Then I realized this makes me sound like a drug dealer. The baggies are for perfume decanting (for which, see my LiveJournal) and the scale is for baking. Seriously. But dividing dried plant matter amongst smaller bags is probably going to at least make me laugh.
I hope that by the time the teas begin to arrive, I’ll have the replacement camera battery charger I ordered on eBay so I can show photos of the haul. I think part of my lack of posting has been that I haven’t taken photos of much of what I’ve been doing, on top of being sick. The battery’s almost out of juice, and of course it’s a proprietary sort.
Tea, anyone? What’s your favorite kind?

Scott McLaughlin has channelled Daniel Ricciardo after snatching a stunning Supercars victory.
The Ford ace came from the clouds on Sunday after starting from 19th on the grid to celebrate his fourth consecutive race win.
McLaughlin was so pumped up about claiming the double at the Perth Supersprint he referenced Australia's famous Formula One export.
"I'm so stoked for everyone at Shell V Power. We made it difficult for ourselves," McLaughlin said.
"What does Daniel Ricciardo say, 'holy testicle Tuesday'... we've done it."
Ricciardo used the line, which originates from Jim Carrey's 1994 film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, after he won the Chinese Grand Prix last month.
Just as Ricciardo's victory was the best of his career, so too was McLaughlin's who came out on top in a wild and chaotic second race at the Western Australian circuit.
So unlikely was McLaughlin's victory from back on the grid, he compared it to being "60 points down at halftime" in an AFL game.
The 24-year-old is an avid fan of the Western Bulldogs despite growing up in New Zealand.
McLaughlin smashed the record for the lowest grid start (12th) to win at Barbagallo Raceway, which was previously shared by Peter Brock (1978) and Larry Perkins (1997).
After a disastrous qualifying session, McLaughlin put on a brave face for his team even though he didn't truly believe he could win.
"You're just trying to rally them and get going, there were two more quarters left," McLaughlin said.
"Heading into that a top five would be ideal, a podium would be exceptional but I never thought we could win it."
The result shot McLaughlin 158 points in front in the overall standings as he looks to claim a maiden Supercars championship.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Overall well recommended if you have a sharp pair of scissors to rectify the bristle shapes and strays. Great value.
Bristles are soft and come to a fine point with good snap.
An excellent addition to the brush collection as a workhorse along side higher quality brushes where detail work is necessary.
The price point on these makes them great value in my opinion
Top reviews from other countries
The range of sizes is perfect and the detail of the finest brush is incredibly thin.
Great product and bargain for price.

Farment™ Has Moved to Arizona!
Thank you to all who supported Farment™ (Farm to Jar LLC) during the 2015 season in Madison, Wisconsin. It was a great first year -- on the farm, in the kitchen, at the market, and in wonderful interactions with each of you (especially Weekly Pickle recipients! thank you!).
As many of you know, my family experienced a medical emergency in October 2015 that sent me back and forth to Arizona throughout the fall and winter months.
This spring, I made the decision to move to northern Arizona permanently. I am currently looking for land that I will share with my wonderful mother. We hope to start growing vegetables and fermenting pickles for Farment™ in northern Arizona starting in 2017.

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall. In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground. Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose must not be kinked.

Cytomegalovirus is a form of herpes. It is actually a common strain which many healthy people can be infected with and never know it. However, if a person with HIV, AIDS or another immune disorder gets this virus, it could lead to blindness.
How Cytomegalovirus Spreads
Always wash your hands thoroughly after coming in contact with the blood, semen, urine or breast milk of another person. If this person is infected with cytomegalovirus and you touch your eyes with dirty hands, the infection could be spread to you. It is also possible to get this illness from a blood transfusion, organ transplant or through unprotected sex.
People with unhealthy immune systems who catch this virus will start to have many vision problems. These sight issues can include seeing spots, blurry vision and eventually blindness in both eyes. In addition, they can develop back pain and chronic bowel problems.
If you have HIV, AIDS or another serious illness and you are experiencing these symptoms it is important to call your doctor. An eye doctor can check your retina for inflammation. Your primary care doctor can also take a urine or blood sample and have it sent out to see if you test positive for the virus.
If your health is in poor shape, you may need up to two weeks of intense treatment therapy to help your body fight back. You will be given medication daily injected directly into your veins or inserted with a catheter. When you doctor believes you are stable, there are a number of oral medications that he can prescribe to you to keep this virus in check. There is no cure for this illness, but these pills can prevent cytomegalovirus from spreading and will also keep your symptoms under control. It is important to always take your medication as instructed and to see your eye doctor immediately if vision problems return. If not managed correctly this illness can cause permanent blindness in people with already weakened immune systems.


5. Feeling restored through brain-controlled robotic arm
Another mind-controlled robotic arm restored sensation in a patient’s arms and fingers, according to research from the University of Pittsburgh.
Four tiny microelectrode arrays that were about the size of half a button were implanted into Nathan Copeland’s brain. The neurosurgeons used imaging techniques before surgery to determine which parts of the brain were susceptible to feelings in the fingers and hands. Using brain-computer interface, a robotic arm controlled by his brain restored sensation in his hands.
“I can feel just about every finger – it’s really weird sensation,” said Copeland, a month after the surgery, in a press release. “Sometimes it feels electrical and sometimes its pressure, but for the most part, I can tell most of the fingers with definite precision. It feels like my fingers are getting touched or pushed.”
Copeland was able to feel pressure in his fingers and hands but was not able to feel hot and cold sensations.
“The ultimate goal is to create a system which moves and feels just like a natural arm would,” said Robert Gaunt, assistant professor of physical medical and rehabilitation at the university and lead on the research. “We have a long way to go to get there, but this is a great start.”

ST. LOUIS – An alarming trend for authorities is the deadly conversion devices they are increasingly seeing on the streets.
Agents recently arrested eight people in Cape Girardeau on charges of making machine guns.
“In 2022, ATF saw an approximately 500% increase in these types of aftermarket equipment,” said Brent Beavers, assistant special agent in charge, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “It’s really important to say that these are devices that are not made by the arms manufacturers. They are made with 3D printers or bought overseas in China.”
Glock switches and aftermarket firearm parts have been confiscated by police in recent years, and the number has risen.
In 2019, the St. Louis police confiscated one such piece. Last year, the authorities confiscated 27 parts of the city.
Interim St. Louis Police Chief Michael Sack said the department had already seized three in 2023.
ShotSpotter, the citywide acoustic system that tracks the sounds of gunshots and fireworks, has seen a dramatic increase every year. In 2021, ShotSpotter recorded 66 cases of fully automatic fire. Over the past year, 339 separate events of fully automatic fire have been recorded.
ATF agents, St. Louis police officers and US attorneys join forces to show the public these illegal devices.
“We will use every statute, criminal provision, and sentencing method available to us should anyone choose to possess or use any of these conversion devices,” said US Attorney Sayler Fleming.
Anyone caught with such a device faces a federal prison sentence of at least 30 years in addition to other charges.
If you have seen someone with these devices, please contact the St. Louis Police Department, ATF, or the US Attorney’s Office.

Today, GEA released the below statement, upon Secretary Zinke signing the Secretarial Order in Houston at OTC, to begin implementation of the America First Offshore Energy Executive Order. Signed by President Trump on Friday, this Executive Order will remove barriers for investment in the Gulf of Mexico and unleash continued economic growth for our region.
The following statement can be attributed to Matt McCarroll, CEO of Fieldwood Energy and a Founding Member of the Gulf Energy Alliance:
“The America First Offshore Energy Executive Order signed by President Trump last Friday and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s Secretarial Order today are positive developments and a clear signal of the return of government to the table as a partner – and not an adversary – in the safe and responsible development of our nation’s abundant offshore resources. We are particularly encouraged that the Executive Order specifically requests the Department of Interior to review Notice to Lessees 2016- N01 regarding financial assurance obligations and instructs the Agency to minimize unnecessary regulatory burdens on the industry in a new financial assurance framework.
Independent operators in the Gulf, as represented by the Gulf Energy Alliance, remain committed to working with the Trump administration to create solutions that ensure industry’s accountability to U.S. taxpayers for its offshore obligations. It is critical that financial assurance requirements – and any other regulations for that matter – maintain that accountability in a manner that is workable, achievable and does not create unnecessary burdens for continued investment in the Gulf of Mexico.
A more reasonable, collaborative approach to offshore regulation will make the Gulf of Mexico more attractive for capital investment and could add billions of dollars in royalty payments to the US Treasury while continuing to support tens of thousands of jobs across the Gulf Coast.”

Laguna Grande Park is a 35-acre regional park on the border of the cities of Monterey and Seaside. It is actively managed by the Laguna Grande Regional Park Joint Powers Authority (JPA), which includes the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District, the City of Seaside, and the City of Monterey. At the center of the park is a large freshwater lake that is a rich habitat for birds, wildlife, and native riparian vegetation. Around the perimeter of the lake is a 1-mile loop trail that connects park users to playgrounds, soccer fields, picnic areas, and parking lots.
The park was formalized in 1978 and as It has matured in age, there is a need to maintain the vegetation and trails to allow for safe access through the park and to discourage illegal camping in the park’s densely vegetated areas. BFS was selected by the JPA to develop a maintenance plan that will go through the environmental review process (CEQA) and a permitting process with agencies such as California Fish and Wildlife, the Regional Water Quality Board, and the Coastal Commission. The maintenance plan will restore the balance between nature and people, enhance habitat and viewsheds, and develop a long-term maintenance strategy. BFS is working closely with the JPA staff and the community to set priorities and create an implementation strategy that meets the resources of JPA agencies.

text: I deferred Terry Pratchett for a long time. Ever adding his books to the 'wishlist' and 'sample' in Kindle but never emptying them out as 'bought' and 'read'. Long ago I chanced on "Color of Maggic" in the Discworld series. I flipped the first few pages several times but had no impetus to read further. Few weeks ago, I read his "Mort". I was bolted, and I hope I am using the word reasonably. The book was outright hilarious. Then I jumped onto other Discworld books and my last book in that series is "Small Gods". Comedy and Wit and Terry Pratchett has to be taken in the same breath. Now, I have almost become evangelical in popularizing his works. All I need is a witch hat to swear my allegiance to his writing.

text: In encrypted databases, sensitive data is protected from an untrusted server by encrypting columns using partially homomorphic encryption schemes, and storing encryption keys in a trusted client. However, encrypting columns and protecting encryption keys does not ensure confidentiality – sensitive data can leak during query processing due to information flows through the trusted client. In this paper, we propose SecureSQL, an encrypted database that partitions query processing between an untrusted server and a trusted client while ensuring the absence of information flows. Our evaluation based on OLTP benchmarks suggests that SecureSQL can protect against explicit flows with low overheads (< 30%). However, protecting against implicit flows can be expensive because it precludes the use of key databases optimizations and introduces additional round trips between client and server.

Provocation as Art. Scandal, Shock and Sexuality in Contemporary Visual Culture, 2nd Ekphrasis Conference 28-29 May, 2015
The Faculty of Theater and Television of the Babeș-Bolyai University is announcing the Call for Papers for the Annual Cinema and Visual Culture Studies Conference held May 25-29 2015. This 2015 conference is designed to discuss the irreverent nature of art, cinema and visual production in various media environments. The purpose of the conference is to deal with the various obstructions of the creative spirit, both in the context of the passivity of the consumer society and in a highly censored and politically correct environment. Often art is vilified, accused of blasphemy and obscenity, threatened with violence, prosecuted and even imprisoned, yet the function of art has to be a source for scandal and provocation. The main goal of the conference is interrogating the limits of what is acceptable or not in art, of what it means to use art as a form of disrupting the established order. Researchers are invited to explore the provocative nature of art, by looking deeper into the means by which artistic expressions challenge the social barrier, and understanding the breaking force of any work of art, in media and in cinema.
A special feature of the debate is announced as part of this conference, and it will be dedicated to the philosophy and aesthetics of Lars Von Trier. This part of the conference is dedicated to the three trilogies of Lars von Trier, with a special interest for his so called Depression Trilogy (Antichrist, Melancholia and Nymphomaniac).
Prospective authors are invited to submit their abstracts on the following subjects:
Impertinent nature of the artistic act
Shocking images and provocations
Sexually explicit images in art cinema
Controversy and clichés
Challenging the canons
Scandalous nature of aesthetics
Defying the limits of reception in visual arts
Risk taking in artistic expression
Disturbing representations in media and cinema
Dissent and political irreverence in art and visual culture
Radicalism and provocations of existing artistic taste
Perversity and cultural passivity in visual media
Fascination for the monstrous and the unknown in visual representations
Taboo breaking in art
Antagonism and the dialectics of provocation in art
Abstract Submission Deadline: January 15th, 2014
Abstracts (up to 500 words) are requested in English for all papers related to any aspect the conference topics. Approaches from a range of disciplines and interdisciplinary studies are accepted if related to any aspect of art, cinema, media, visual culture, and any sub-genre of those fields. Researchers from all disciplines, as well as PhD students and artists who are active in research activities are welcome to participate. The sessions of paper presentations will include about 4 theoretical papers, while practitioners will be presenting their findings in distinct workshops. The information requested with abstract submission must include the name(s) of the author(s), institutional affiliation, mailing address and email, proposed title of presentation to, 3-5 keywords (changes are allowed up to the registration deadline). Keynote speakers (to be confirmed).
Registration Deadline for Presenters: 15th March, 2015
The language of the conference is English. Please note that there will be a conference fee of € 150. Discounts and reduced fees to be discussed with each applicant. Early bird fees are 100 if payed by the end of January 2015.

12 Perianal Abscess :cruciate incision at tender or fluctuant point as close to the anal verge. Ischiorectal AbscessIntersphincteric Abscess : internal sphincterotomy overlying the cavity.Submucosal Abscess : incising the mucosa over the abscess.
13 Postanal Abscess and Horseshoe Extension Hanley's technique -the posterior midline incisionmuscles attached to the coccyx, the superficial external sphincter, and the lower edge of the internal sphincter are dividedone or multiple secondary incisions in the skin overlying the ischiorectal space.
14 Appropriate type of drainage of supralevator abscesses depending on the course taken by the fistula tract.
15 Fistula in anoa communication between an internal opening in the anal canal and an external opening through which an abscess drained
20 Evaluation of Anal Fistula An accurate preoperative assessment of the anatomy of an anal fistula is very important.Five essential points of a clinical examination of an anal fistula :(1) location of the internal opening.(2) location of the external opening.(3) location of the primary track .(4) location of any secondary track.(5) determination of the presence or absence of underlying disease .
22 Special Studies Sigmoidoscopy and Colonoscopy all patients with anorectal fistulaspresence of associated pathology such asneoplasms,inflammatory bowel disease,associated secondary tracts
23 Fistulography with recurrent fistulas or when a prior procedure has failed to identify the internal openinguseful in identifying unsuspected pathology, planning surgical management, and demonstrating anatomic relations.
24 Anorectal Ultrasonography For anatomy of the anal sphincters in relation to an abscess or a fistula.7- or 10-MHz transducerFistula tracts and abscesses appear as hypoechoic defects within the muscle.extrasphincteric, and suprasphincteric tracts may be missed.hydrogen peroxide injected into fistulas is safe, effective, and more accurate than conventional transanal ultrasound
26 A, Trans-sphincteric hypoechogenic tract extending toward the posterior midline. The tract is enhanced as hydrogen peroxide is injected into the external opening. B, Complex fistula tract and collections as seen without (1) and with (2) hydrogen peroxide enhancement. Hydrogen peroxide enhancement allowed for a more precise delineation of the tracts in addition to a right-sided extension of the tract
27 Magnetic Resonance Imaging for anatomychronic or recurrent fistulasaline solution as a contrast agentgadolinium enema: enhanced T2 images and improved lesion identificationComputed Tomography:Limited due to poor visualization of the levators and sphincter complex.For assessment of associated pelvic pathology

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin Energy revealed the final look of a new substation, to make sure we have enough electricity to keep up with the rapid growth.
Austin Energy showed off the final design at a public meeting for the new Rainey Street Substation Thursday. The design was made using input from more than 600 Rainey Street neighbors, according to the electric utility.
It is part of the initiative called “Repowering Downtown Austin.”
Officials hope the new substation will increase capacity and reduce the risk of power outages. Austin Energy says it will also improve walkability and “beautify” a previously unused piece of land.
Construction begins this fall, in time for a summer 2023 completion. Construction during that time will consist of both underground and overhead power lines to connect the new substation to the downtown grid.
The new substation will be near East Avenue, Interstate 35 and Holly Street.

Confluent Cloud isn’t just for public access anymore. As the requirement for security across sectors increases, so does the need for virtual private cloud (VPC) connections. It is becoming more common today to come across Apache Kafka® implementations with the latest private link connectivity option.
In the past, most Confluent Cloud users were satisfied with public connectivity paths and VPC peering. However, enabling private links on the cloud is increasingly important for security across networks and even the reliability of stream processing. Dan LaMotte, who since this recording became a staff software engineer II, and his team are focused on making secure connections for customers to utilize Confluent Cloud. This is done by allowing two VPCs to connect without sharing their own private IP address space. There’s no crossover between them, and it lends itself to entirely secure connection unidirectional connectivity from customer to service provider without sharing IPs.
But why do clients still want to peer if they have the option to interface privately? Dan explains that peering has been known as the base architecture for this type of connection. Peering at the core is just point-to-point cloud connections that happen between two VPCs. With global connectivity becoming more commonplace and the rise of globally distributed working teams, networks are often not even based in the same region. Regardless of region, however, organizations must take the level of security into account. Peering and transit gateways with a high level of analogy are the new baseline for these use cases, and this is where Kafka’s private links come in handy.
Private links now allow team members to connect to Confluent Cloud instantaneously without depending on the internet. You can directly connect all of your multi-cloud options and microservices within your own secure space that is private to the company and to specific IP addresses. Also, the connection must be initiated on the client side for an increased security measure.
With the option of private links, you can now also build microservices that use new functionality that wasn’t available in the past, such as:
- Product enhancements with IP ranges
- Unlimited IP space
- Load balancing
You no longer need to segment your workflow, thanks to completely secure connections between teams that are otherwise disconnected from one another.

What was I thinking? After writing several essay’s on why I favor a ” United States of Israel” , I thought a synopsis was required.
The “New State” to be Bordered by the Mediterranean on one side and The Jordan River and the Dead Sea on the other. The right of return for all persons not willing to live in Peace within the boundaries of the new State. Those individuals seeking asylum elsewhere to be compensated for returning to Countries of their families origin.
All those desiring to live in Peace, within the confines of the new State, to be given the right to citizenship and self government, similar to THE US system of Mayors, Governors and Houses of Congress.
Since Democracy is new to this region, perhaps they will succeed !
Go in Peace! Stay in Peace! We all have choices.

A year ago, a Philadelphia man clicked on a website for missing children and found a photo of himself. That led Steve Carter to begin to question everything he thought he knew about himself - and sent him on a search to unlock the secrets of his past.
In the process, Carter solved one of the oldest missing children cases in the country - his own. The following is a gallery documenting Carter's incredible life journey as featured on "CBS This Morning."
On June 21, 1977, 5-month old Marx Panama Moriarity Barnes disappears with his mother, Charlotte Moriarity, from Haaula, Hawaii. They are reported missing three weeks later. Marx's father, who is not married to his mother, launches an all-out search, but finds nothing.
Two days after Marx disappears, the police on the other side of Oahu are summoned when a woman named Jana May and her baby is found in a house belonging to someone else. Jana is sent to a psychiatric hospital, but later vanishes, leaving her infant son to become a ward of the state. Jana claims her blonde-haired, blue-eyed son, named Tendada May, is half-native Hawaiian.
In January 2011, Steve sees a news report about a Connecticut woman who discovers she had been abducted as an infant and later adopted. Curious about his own past as an adopted child, Steve begins looking around a website for missing children.
A photo of Marx Barnes as a baby that Steve Carter found on MissingKids.com, left, and Steve Carter, right, as a young child following his adoption to couple in New Jersey. Steve Carter later learned he is that missing child Marx Barnes.

The University Bulletin and other official publications begin to include statements that Miami does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and that Miami adheres to Ohio Governor’s Executive Order 83-64, which prohibits discrimination in state employment based on sexual orientation.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance was started for the first time, but dissolved within nine months.
A second group called the Gay/Lesbian Alliance tried to organize. The Student Affairs Council (now The Student Life Council) approved this group unanimously. The GLA sponsored two lectures, visited residence halls, and held panels in Human Sexuality classes. However, harassment and abuse proved debilitating, leading to what one member described as “cynicism and defeatist behavior.” The group dissolved by the end of the year.
Chameleon, an underground gay and lesbian support group, is created by Jim Lopata and Christine Rebera. If somebody needed support they had to call a “secret” number, ask for a particular person, and then they were routed to the correct contact. Miami University alumnus James Lopata (1986) began an underground support group for gay students in a time when he and other students felt they could not be openly gay.
The Story: During Lopata’s senior year, after talking in-depth with his head resident advisor, Lopata began the process of coming out to his friends. In the midst of a process he described as just plain scary, and despite being initially met with an uncomfortable reaction from his best friend, Lopata found an unlikely friendship with someone he never expected to. Lopata’s friend Christine came out to him at the same time. At the time, the two had virtually nowhere on campus to turn for support. Together they decided to create Chameleon. The group met in secret once a week in the basement of the counseling center which began with only Lopata and Christine. Chameleon sparked the creation of many of the LGBT organizations on campus today.
Linda Singer and Roy Bowen Ward submit a cross-listed course in the Honors Program dealing with gay and lesbian issues. Although the student members of the Honors Committee voted against it (reason: no student would want that course on their transcript), the faculty outvoted them, and the course was approved for the 1986-1987 academic year.
Linda Singer and Roy Bowen Ward teach the first course directly and explicitly about gay and lesbian issues on the Miami campus. The course, was originally entitled “Homosexual and Lesbian Experience,”. It is still taught every fall now under “WGS 202 – Introduction to GLBT Studies”.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance re-forms on the Miami University campus and is recognized as a student group on September 30, 1986. Roy Bowen Ward, professor of Religion, affiliate in Women’s studies, and History, serves as the first faculty advisor to the newly formed group. Jeff Young served as the first president, Terri Lotz as vice-president, Brenda Price as secretary, and Suzanne Gray as treasurer. The group formed out of Chameleon.
The Miami Student runs a full, front-page article with the headline “Gay alliance organizes with new goals.” The newsletter for Minority Affairs Council (now known as The Diversity Affairs Council under The Assoiciated Student Government [ACS]) focuses on homosexuality, the GLA, and related issues. The Minority Affairs council also asked Roy Ward to lecture on homophobia. The Miami Student runs another article focusing on Ward’s lecture in the October 17th issue.
Members of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance received many anonymous and insulting telephone calls and letters from both students and faculty of Miami. The panels, which went to educate the student body in sociology and anthropology classes, were often exposed to insulting, rude, and embarrassing comments and questions. However, by the end of the year, the GLA had 40 members.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance requested funding from the Board of Trustees in the amount of $400. They received $230. When it was time to approve the budget at the June Board of Trustees meeting, one board member moved for the removal of GLA funding, followed by a second motion affirming the move. Ward was there as a representative of the university senate and witnessed the vice-president for student affairs stand up and remind the two men that such an act was against the law, referring to Governor Celeste’s executive order. The motion failed.
The Board of Trustees adds “sexual preference” to the list of grounds for a discrimination complaint (Section 3.7 of the Miami University Policy and Information Manual).
1st GLBA OFFICE. GLBA was given an office in the basement of King Library. The first office was a sub-office of the Miami University Office for Students with Disabilities. The office later was moved to Shriver Center and finally to the Armstrong Student Center where it is located today.
Miami Financial Report reaches $1000 mark for MUGLBA. The GLBA felt this amount was a milestone in continuing support from Miami. The Student Finance Committee recognized MUGLBA, and that an incredible number of panels were cited as their reason for stronger backing.
The first student was recognized by Miami as being HIV+. Miami tries to force student to live in a single room for “health” reasons. The student was bisexual and this fact was brought to Miami students’ attention at Safe Sex forum attended by several hundred students, causing quite an uproar and demands for identification of the student. Gay staff members with Miami Student Counseling Center attempted to mediate the situation between all parties involved.
On April 6th, 1988 the first “Jeans Day” was observed. This designated day is when people who support gay/ lesbian/ bisexual/ transgendered issues wear jeans to show their support. Students have criticized this as “sneaky,” accusing GLBA of tricking people into showing support when they did not know what day it was.
The “First Annual Sexual Deviant’s Ball” was held within a week of Jeans Day. Since the two happened so closely together, “Awareness Week” evolved and became host to a variety of panels, speakers, and activities.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance change their name to the GLBA (Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Alliance). This is the first time the bisexual students and faculty were officially recognized on campus.
GLBA sends out first mailing to all freshman students at beginning of school year inviting them to get involved with GLBA. After receiving more than 100 harassing phone calls from the flyer a Security office puts a tap on the GLBA phone. Calls were identified back to student room phones. Miami would not prosecute callers since they cannot prove who actually made the phone calls from student’s room.
Living in Thompson Hall, the GLBA president and vice-president had various Miami MUGLBA fliers on our door. This was the same year that 14 gay and bisexual men lived on the 2nd floor of Thompson Hall. The straight men on the 2nd floor were furious at the dominance of gay and bisexual men on the floor. The situation escalated to where they set a door on fire in residence hall. Students who committed the act were not thrown out by Miami, but had to write paper on how their acts affected the community.
At graduation, a gay student wore a huge pink triangle (Silence = Death) on his cap. He was first stopped at the ceremony by Miami officials but then allowed to march with the pink triangle on his cap. This was the first reported time any gay symbol was worn at a graduation ceremony.
Miami University changes its wording in policies from sexual “preference” to “orientation.”

Being a part of someone’s life, because of the work we make, is a powerful thing.
Today is Day 4 at my big retail show, The League of NH Craftsmen’s Annual Fair. It’s been exciting, exhausting, enervating, exhilarating, excellent and entertaining. Sort of New Hampshire’s own Big E.
Years ago, a mother and her young daughter came to my booth. The girl–around 9 or 10–fell in love with my horse jewelry, and begged her mom for a necklace.
“No way!” exclaimed her mom. “You always lose your jewelry. You lose everything!”
The girl pleaded her case, promising she would cherish the necklace. There was a little bargaining involved, I found a horse necklace that was a little less expensive, and both of them left with their Luann Udell horse.
Scene: My booth, one year later. A girl and her mother walk in the booth. The girl is wearing–my horse necklace!
We hug and laugh. Her mother tells me the story: “Every night, before she goes to bed, she takes off her necklace and places it in the gift box you gave her. And every morning, she puts it back on. It is the last thing she does before she sleeps, and the first thing she does after she wakens.”
I was so moved that she loved my work so much. I told this story to a friend. She said, “Do you realize, Luann, that YOUR jewelry is her first piece of ‘grown-up jewelry’? Your necklace took her to the next place in her life–you’ve been a part of her growing up.”
Now they come back every year. Sometimes the daughter buys a pair of earrings, sometimes her mother buys a necklace. Sometimes they pick something together, agreeing to share it between them.
It is beautiful to watch them.
They came this year. The girl is a young woman now. There is talk of college, maybe even a gap year program. As always, the love and warmth between them is obvious. She picks a pair of earrings, Mom picks a beautiful necklace–with a promise to share. They may be back for the girl to pick another ‘big’ piece for graduation. As they leave, I feel tears coming.
Yes, their purchases over the years have supported me as an artist. They are lovely people and I’m honored they love my work.
But even more, I am humbled at the idea that I am now a part of their family story. My work, from my hands, graces their lives. It encouraged a child to take her first steps to adulthood, and greater responsibilities. It’s been part of her life for almost a decade now, and will be with her on her first steps out into a bigger world.
I have been a witness to this. I’ve been invited to be a part of this. My art has been my ambassador, and I am astonished and grateful.
Today another young girl and her mother came to my booth for the first time. The girl begged her mother for a horse necklace. I shared this story with them. They laughed, the mother looking thoughtful. They looked and tried on a few pieces, then moved on to see the rest of the Fair.
I have a feeling they’ll be back.
As hard as it is to do this show, these moments, these precious moments, remind me of what the world asks of me. They remind me that my gift serves others, sometimes gentle, sometimes obscured, but always with purpose.
It is why I am here, today, at the Fair.
