“Favourite Things” artwork by Harmonic Arts.
The Amazing Keri Haywood of “Harmonic Arts” has agreed to come of board with the charity to help provide an amazing personalised addition to our Dreams experience. Additional to that, Keri’s personalised artwork will also be available for purchase, with each transaction making a donation to the charity. Here is a little more about Keri and the reasons behind our new partnership:
“I started doing Dreams for the charity a few months back, after I’d gifted a piece for Martin’s wedding (co. Founder) and Clynton had seen more pieces I’d done for friends and family. I jumped at the opportunity to work alongside a charity close to my heart, that supports people in such an amazing way.
After losing my own dad, who was an amazing harmonic player and singer, to terminal Cancer back in December last year, it only seemed right that I name my artwork with him in mind. So, I named it “Harmonic Arts”.
I’ve now teamed up with EvesTrust to produce “Favourite Things” pictures, as part of their “Dreams” experience. The pieces will be personalised to the people the charity is taking care of. I ask for 30 things that the Dream recipient and their family love and I personalise that piece to them.
I chose this charity because I wish now, that at the time in my life in which I needed an outlet, a last dream for my dad, there was an “EvesTrust” local to us. They do such amazing work and put smiles on so many peoples face, they make Dreams come true. It is priceless to know that my artwork will go to somebody so deserving, so strong, so willing to live life, but have been dealt a rubbish hand. Dreams are made to be lived, persuade, and believed are possible. Its only right we give people that chance”
We know Keri’s artwork will put a smile on the face of so many, for years to come. Her story is a familiar one, having lost an amazing father, who doubled as a best friend, she’s excited to turn that sadness into something positive for others. EvesTrust was founded on such a similar starting point and emotion and we’re proud to be associated with Keri and the memory of the amazing Farnham Haywood, “Harmonic Arts”

The New Orleans Pelicans and Houston Rockets set the game of basketball back about five or six decades during their woeful shooting & ball handling performances in the Toyota Center last night. But through all of the turnovers and missed shots, both teams were a part of NBA history. And might not exactly be the kind of history they want to be part of. The Rockets went 3 for 35 from behind the arc....and still won the game. Ouch! And for the rest of the story....

If you have ever pondered the best pair of defensive guards in Southeastern Conference basketball history, the names T.R. Dunn and Anthony Murray are at the top of the list. They created nightmares for opposing backcourts. Any discussion considering a different duo is short-lived. Round ball historians are near unanimous in their opinion. Dunn and Murray reign as the all-time shut down pair.
February 9, 2016
Coming into tonight's game vs the Houston Rockets, the hometown New Orleans Pelicans were riding high and playing their best basketball of the season. Despite losing Anthony Davis to a concussion towards the end of 1st half & starting the 3rd quarter on the wrong side of an 18-0 run, the Pels fought hard to get back in the game, and even led the Rockets with a minute left. But like much of story this season, they fell short losing by one. Here's the rest of the story...

More foster homes needed, orientation set to provide information
Published 7:00 am Thursday, March 28, 2019
Within the state of Mississippi, there’s a shortage of foster homes for children dealing with abuse or neglect.
To fill that need, an orientation meeting will be held in Poplarville Monday evening by an organization known as Rescue 100. Rescue 100 is a faith-based program that works directly with Mississippi Child Protective Services to seek out and recruit homes and families that can act as foster homes.
In January of this year, there were 127 Pearl River County children in foster care; by the first of March the number dropped to 107, said Sabrea Smith, Director of Rescue 100.
Smith added that on average, counties that surround Pearl River typically have more children in foster care.
Within this county, there are currently 33 foster homes where the child is staying with a relative. There are currently 20 non-relative homes, Smith said.
Most of the time, children are placed into foster care when evidence of physical or sexual abuse and/or neglect is found.
Smith said that when foster care is deemed necessary, CPS looks for available homes within the child’s home county to keep them close to friends and family. If there are no available homes, only then will the child be sent to a neighboring county. In rare instances when a foster home can’t be found, the child may be sent to a temporary shelter. Smith said that only happens in emergencies.
In order to serve as a foster home, the family will need to be licensed by CPS. Monday’s orientation will provide details on how to become licensed and other information.
It will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. on April 1, at First United Methodist Church in Poplarville, located at 202 W. Church St.
Families who serve as a foster home for a child receive a stipend to provide for that child’s care based on each child’s age and individual needs, Smith said.
Some of the qualifications to be a foster family include being 21 or older, a legal resident of Mississippi, financially self sufficient and legally married or single. The qualification process also requires a home study to assess the function of the family to determine if they are prepared to care for a child who is dealing with a traumatic event, Smith said.
“If people have a heart and passion for it, I think they should apply and see what can happen,” Smith said.

Bread and Roses BakeryAugust 26, 2017 - September 9, 2017
The Bread and Roses Bakery is a mobile platform to encourage discussion in public spaces about the working conditions of artists and cultural workers in the Saint-Henri district, through bread and other artistic events. Following the deindustrialisation of Montreal, which began in the 1960s, artists replaced workers in several industrial buildings by using them as workshop spaces. However, with the gradual increase in rents that operates in the neighborhood, as in other parts of Montreal, workshops located in, among others, the RCA and the Lachine Canal Complex are becoming less and less affordable, an essential component to be able to work. The slogan "bread and roses", chanted in several workers' popular struggles of the 20th century, and taken up again in 1995 at the March Against Poverty organized by the women's groups of Quebec, is still valid to claim better conditions of work for the artisans of culture. As an artist, we ask for bread, but also for roses, which is a higher quality of life related to our livelihood.
The Bread and Roses Boulangerie will consist of a kiosk that will run through various Saint-Henri hirings during the project, and will offer free bread bearing the typology of the iconic industrial buildings of the neighborhood. The kiosk will also feature publications such as Troubler la fête, rallumer notre joie of Journée sans culture. These temporary interventions will be an opportunity to reflect on the role of art in our lives, including feeding on a daily basis.
Schedule from 12 to 4 pm
Saturday, August 26th : at DARE-DARE
Sunday, August 27th : Place du Marché Atwater
Thursday, August 31th : Parc Saint-Henri and Parc des Couturières
Saturday, September 2nd : Parc George-Etienne Cartier
+ Saturday, September 9th [3pm - 4h30 pm] : Parc Sainte-Cunégonde and Parc Vinet
Closing event in the presence of the artist on September 9 at 5 PM, at DARE-DARE.
My artistic practice takes the form of temporary interventions, participative performances, Eat Art and photographic projects, and explores various issues related to the natural and urban environment. In my more recent projects, I am looking for ways to recreate spaces in nature and in the city, with the design of props in order to challenge our perception of pre-established social and spatial systems. My interest in food has led me to design several participatory performances in the public space involving, among other things, the action of cooking and eating bread. As a basic commodity in most societies, bread evokes the values of sharing and social justice, as well as encouraging conviviality, which make it a particularly evocative medium for conveying ideas. I support artistic and educational initiatives that have a positive impact or help build communities, and contexts that encourage collaboration, inclusion and experimentation.
The artist would like to thank Atelier Clark for the technical support in the creation of the mobile object, as well as DARE-DARE for the accompanying during the realization and presentation of this project.

Co-ordinating fabrics is a skill and, just like any skill, not everyone excels at it. It's also subjective - we all have different tastes. However, there are certain combinations which appeal almost universally. Some people just have the knack of knowing what fabric combinations work well.
I'm not one of those lucky people. I have to work at getting the right fabrics for a project. The good news is that with practice, your skills at choosing fabrics will improve.
When I choose fabrics for a particular project, I like to shop from my stash, as I cover the floor with different combinations. It's a bit hard to do this in the shop. Usually, but not always, I start with what I think will be the main fabric and I just keep pulling fabrics till I get the ones I'm happy with.
For me, it's most often an aha moment - I know the combination that will work for me when I actually see it. I am insanely jealous of those who can visualise combinations in their head.
When I chose the fruit fabric in the red skirt, I initially had no idea what I'd put with it. As I so often do when sewing children's clothes, I ended up with polka dots. The red in each ties it all together.
The blue and green skirt is one of my favourites. The two fabrics are by different manufacturers, but just happened to contain the same green. It's not all about finding the right fabrics. The proportion of each fabric is important, too.
Through practice, I'm becoming faster at choosing fabrics. As I look at the photos here, I can see that, for me, a largish or bold print works with a smaller print or solid. The larger print is usually the one I choose as the dominant fabric.
When choosing co-ordinating fabric for children's clothes, there are two main factors to consider: the colours and the prints. Both are important for the combination to work, but as I said at the beginning, it is subjective.
- approach juvenile prints with caution
- tonal and two-color prints look very fresh
- look for updated versions of traditional prints
- be eclectic
And here are a couple of more general posts:
When it comes to patchwork, more factors come into play. The pieces of fabric used are much smaller than on clothing and there's more of them. I thought I'd play with patchwork for my last zippered pouch. My results did NOT work for two reasons; the design and the colours.
I cut random sized rectangles and sewed them together, not thinking about the finished arrangement. There are too many pieces of similar size and oriented in the same direction. To make it worse, the three colours just don't work. I won't be using this patchwork on anything, but I will keep it to remind me of a combination to avoid in the future.
I know the colours don't appear to be the same, but the photos were taken under different lighting. The true colour is somewhere in between. To my eye, removing the grey makes all the difference. This now works for me. It's not... ooh, aah, I love it, but I am happy with the combination.
I do love my QAYG fabric basket, though. Now I can't take any credit for the fabrics. The trimmings came in a packet from Umbrella Prints, so naturally, the colours and prints co-ordinate well. That only left me to work out the shape, size and arrangement and I think I've nailed it.
Not only am I new to patchwork and quilting, there are more factors to consider when choosing fabrics. I know my skills will improve with practice, but I've found the following resources which I intend to read through.
- How to choose quilt fabrics in five minutes
- How to choose fabric for your patchwork quilt
- How to Choose Quilt Fabrics
- Choosing Fabric
- Colour in Quilts
- Tips & Techniques for Choosing Fabrics for Quilts
- How to Select Fabric for Quilting
And two more which are related to home decor:
Quilts are another step up from small patchwork projects. I bought a jelly roll for my Scrappy Blocks quilt. Again, I had to decide on the design, this time for the block, keeping to the same colourway for each, and also the overall look of the quilt.
At the moment, I'm finishing off another quilt sewn with a jelly roll. Again, the colours just work with no effort on my part. It's a good way for me to pick up clues and learn more about co-ordinating fabrics for quilts.
Are you one of the lucky ones who can pick up a piece of fabric and just know what other fabrics will look good with it? Or are you like me and have to work at it?
If you have any tips on choosing fabrics and what works for you, I'd love you to share your thoughts below. Feel free to leave links to any resources on the topic.
Fabric shopping for me is dreadful if I have to find coordinating prints. Yokes especially I tend to avoid. I must go through the links you have posted here. Thanks for collecting them Pam :)ReplyDelete
It takes me FOREVER to make a decision. I've kind of learned the hard way that I prefer bold contrasts. -Marci @ Stone Cottage AdventuresReplyDelete
I am a slow sewer, and also a slow decision maker when it comes to fabric coordinating! Unless something clicks for me, it takes me forever because I keep second guessing myself. Thank you for all the links, looks like I have some readings to do!ReplyDelete
An interesting topic and blog post! I pretty much chuck together whatever I like and hope it works ;) Sometimes I might pick out fabrics for a project and let it sit then when I come back to it change things up a bit but usually I go with my gut!ReplyDelete
I really have to work at it, it is not natural to me at all.ReplyDelete
I envy people who have the ability/skill to mix and match colours and prints and values - I know the basic "rules", but am usually too nervous to trust that my choices are actually OK - I second guess myself too :D I tend to play it safe and stick with combos of only 2 prints (or one print and one solid). I also like to buy multiple prints from a single line because someone else already did the hard part of co-ordinating things D:ReplyDelete
When it comes to scrap quilts though, I don't worry - I just put everything together and am always happy with it :)
Pam , first i can tell you that with time we develop a better eye or easier eye for co-coordinating fabrics. Lately i made a jumper with many tiny leftovers and it is a hit where i go with it ,, but i must tell you that the first reaction is "how did you manage to make it so tasteful?" . I sat with it and the scraps i used were all over the floor, and i picked them by sight . but sometimes when i put it at it`s designated place it looked wrong, thus i moved and picked another choice. Another trait you will get over the years that you will dare to be more adventitious, because we all are getting used to more `daring` combinations. I think the skirts are Great. Thank you for this thoughts provoking post . mirjamReplyDelete
The floor of my sewing room looks... well... interesting to say the least while I am choosing fabrics! I think I would struggle to get a combo of 3 fabrics out of my stash.ReplyDelete
Great post. I'm a combination of both - sometimes I just get it straight away, have the vision and go with it and other times I don't fully realise the potential until the end.ReplyDelete
Pam I don't know if it's luck or instinct or learned, but I have always been good with color. It was my love of color that attracted me to quilting, knitting and other crafts. I hear often from people they have trouble choosing colors. When it comes to making anything with fabric you should choose at least one light, one medium and one dark fabric for variety. Then vary your scale of prints if using prints. Choose a med-large scale print, a small prints and something that reads as solid. Those things help to balance your quilt. One tip for choosing color is to find a multi-colored fabric that you like and choose fabrics based on that fabric. Or even look at a magazine or a painting or something like that for inspiration for color and then choose your colors from one of those examples. Perhaps you will always need an example to help you with your color choices or maybe after a while you will gain confidence in choosing your fabrics later. Whatever works for you, use it.ReplyDelete
I'm jealous of people who can match patterned fabrics together easily. I think it can be learned, but some have more of a natural eye for sure! I try to remember the rules, but I know some people can hit it right without ever thinking about those things :)ReplyDelete
Choosing the fabric combination is the hardest part for me Pam, it takes me ages! It is an even longer process if I am making something for a swap or Bee :)ReplyDelete
finding contrasting fabrics and prints that go with other prints and colors are easy for me, its the way the fabric is made that is harder, like non-stretch vs little stretch, or knits, other then that I have a great eye for colors and its like I can see the pattern in my mind while I look at the fabrics and see the design of what I will use it for, like a shirt or skirt, I love colors, and fabric, I guess its a gift I have, I never knew there were people who have a hard time picking out colors and something to match but yet different. I don't know what to say other then I have a ball getting fabric I am like a kid in a candy store, I usually have a hard time to know when I have enough I like to get all kinds of fabric at one time, I am fabric Poor, hahahah, anyway, I am going to make a mixed matched design of fabric that has the same background of colors but very different patters of print, but I know when it is finished it will look so wonderful,ReplyDelete
You are indeed lucky to have this skill, Teresa. I think most of us are like kids in a candy store when we are in a fabric shop... LOL!!!Delete

The ISA, established by the U.N. as an intergovernmental authority under the ocean law treaty of 1994, has the exclusive mandate to regulate the exploration and exploitation of deep seabed minerals beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, that is, on the high seas beyond the outer limits of the environmental shelf, comprising two-thirds of the world’s oceans.
Proponents include Russia and China. They argue that the ocean floor is rich with critical minerals— nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese — and mining these minerals is needed in light of the increasing demand for such metals for electric vehicle batteries. It is estimated that 21 billion tons of minerals lie in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone east of Hawaii at 4,000 to 5,000 meters depth. Also, they assert that seabed mining is less harmful and destructive to the environment than land mining as currently done in several countries.
The Pacific Island of Nauru has sponsored the Metals Company, a Canadian mining startup, which is seeking the first license for industrialized mining. The company has already completed exploration trials having retrieved more than 3,000 tons of nodules from a depth of more than 2.5 miles. The Metals Company CEO, Gerard Barron, has said that he is ready to submit their application and will be prepared for industrial-scale mining.
The opponents include almost two dozen countries such as Germany, France, and Costa Rica. More than 30 companies including Google, Samsung, BMW, and Volkswagen have pledged not to finance seabed mining or use materials from seabed mining in their supply chains. Several banks including Lloyds have declined to do business with deep sea mining entities and many have demanded a moratorium on these practices.
Those opposing deep sea mining contend that it could have catastrophic consequences for the marine environment, as it might damage the ecosystems that scientists have yet to fully explore and understand. Although there is little research on sea life at the bottom of the ocean, available data does show that as huge machines rip up the ocean seafloor, creatures would be covered with sediment, causing irreparable harm.
Although major opposition to deep sea mining is on environmental grounds, some voices are now being heard that even technologically and financially, it is not a sound idea. Victor Vescovo, a private equity investor and deep-sea diver, who has explored the deepest points in all five oceans, is highly critical of the Metals Company. He considers it extraordinarily challenging to operate complex machinery in corrosive saltwater with thousands of pounds of pressure per square inch. He doesn’t think that the financial math will work.
It is a pity that the U.S. is not a party to the ocean law treaty. Consequently, it is not at the table and cannot participate. However, several U.S. states including Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington, have banned seabed mining in their waters. And recently, U.S. Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii, introduced two bills in the House: one, calling for a seabed mining moratorium in American waters, and the other for a moratorium internationally.
The delay in finalizing the regulatory framework by the ISA must be welcomed, for otherwise industrial-scale mining on the sea floor would have taken place by default. Until the regulations which include those regarding the environmental consequences of such mining, and taxes that contractors must pay are finalized, even if it takes more than two years, the ISA must not issue any license. The precautionary approach demands that there be no mining without such regulations.
And if science tells us that environmental consequences warrant no seabed mining at all, the ISA must heed the warning.

Denied! Underage Justin Bieber is refused entry to NYC nightclub... as it's revealed he has been cleared of hit and run case
Justin Bieber was denied entry from a nightclub in the Meatpacking District in New York on Monday night, it has been reported.
TMZ claims the star was turned down by security guards at the Griffin Nightclub around 2am after his entourage offered them money.
But the security staff were said to have turned down the offer on the basis of Justin only being 19-years-old.
Denied: Justin Bieber seen leaving a club in New York having been refused entry due to him being underage
Moments later, Justin and his entourage were then seen entering a nearby club called Catch.
However, Justin was later seen going back to his hotel in New York, where two females are said to have followed with his security not long after.
And it wasn't all bad news for the pop singer, either.
TMZ also report that the singer's hit and run charge by a photographer has been rejected by the LA County District Attorney.
After party: Two girls are seen walking to his hotel allegedly by his security team after he is denied access to a club
He wants you: Just has recently been cleared of a hit and run case against a photographer in Los Angeles
The altercation happened last month when Justin was leaving a club in West Hollywood.
A photographer allegedly got caught between Justin's Ferrari and a parked vehicle.
The LAPD cleared Justin, but authorities took a second look and sent the case forward to the Dsitrict Attorney.
Tough guy: Justin recently performed a rendition of Eminem's Lose Yourself for fans
Prosecutors say there was 'insufficient evidence to prove that Bieber knowingly left the scene of a collision in which someone was injured.'
In regards to his days of clubbing, it's not the first time the star has been caught underage drinking.
Pictures earlier this month surfaced of Justin and on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez at a 4th of July holding a bottle of beer.
Selena is reported have taken Justin back on the condition that he smartens up his act.
Back together: Justin tweeted this picture of the couple earlier this month confirming their relationship
Underage: Both Selena and Justin are not yet 21 - the legal age to drink in America

KABUL, Jan. 22 (Press Shia Agency) – At least 41 militants were killed and 25 others injured after Afghan army, police and intelligence agency personnel launched wide-scale operations against insurgents’ hideouts within the past 24 hours, said a statement of Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry Sunday.
“During the past 24 hours, Afghan National Defense and Security Forces conducted joint offensive operations in order to protect lives and properties of people, also defeating the insurgents in different parts of the country that as a result, 41 insurgents killed and 25 others wounded,” the ministry said in a statement.
The joint forces also discovered and confiscated rounds of light and heavy ammunition during the raids launched in Kapisa, Uruzgan, Kandahar, Kunduz and Helmand provinces, the statement added.
In addition, four militants were killed after the suicide vest they were building exploded accidentally in a village in Dasht-e-Archi District, northern Kunduz province late on Saturday, Mahfozullah Akbari, police spokesman in northern zone, told Xinhua earlier on Sunday.
The Taliban militant group has yet to make comment.

Saudi Arabia cut ties with Iran on Sunday, responding to the storming of its embassy in Tehran in an escalating row between the rival Middle East powers over Riyadh’s execution of a Shi’ite Muslim cleric.
Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a news conference in Riyadh that the envoy of Shi’ite Iran had been asked to quit Saudi Arabia within 48 hours. The kingdom, he said, would not allow the Islamic republic to undermine its security.
Iranian protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran early on Sunday and Shi’ite Iran’s top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, predicted “divine vengeance” for the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, an outspoken opponent of the ruling Al Saudi family.
Jubeir said the attack in Tehran was in line with what he said were earlier Iranian assaults on foreign embassies there and with Iranian policies of destabilizing the region by creating “terrorist cells” in Saudi Arabia.
“The kingdom, in light of these realities, announces the cutting of diplomatic relations with Iran and requests the departure of delegates of diplomatic missions of the embassy and consulate and offices related to it within 48 hours. The ambassador has been summoned to notify them,” he said.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Lebanese militia Hezbollah, describing the execution as “a message of blood.” Read more

The US President Donald Trump's decision to suspend non-immigration visas until December has been unable to get the backing of Silicon Valley with Tesla's Elon Musk joining the list of bigwigs to express his disappointment.
"Very much disagree with this action. In my experience, these skillsets are net job creators. Visa reform makes sense, but this is too broad," Musk tweeted.President Trump, in his latest executive order, suspended H-1B, H-2B, certain categories of H-4, J, and L-1 visas till the end of this year.
Very much disagree with this action. In my experience, these skillsets are net job creators. Visa reform makes sense, but this is too broad.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 23, 2020
Google CEO Sundar Pichai had also expressed discontent over the order and said: "Immigration has contributed immensely to America’s economic success, making it a global leader in tech, and also Google the company it is today. Disappointed by today’s proclamation - we’ll continue to stand with immigrants and work to expand opportunity for all."
The Trump administration, in a press note on June 22, announced an extension of the ban on new immigrant visas through the end of the year, while also suspending several categories of non-immigrant work visas till the end of 2020.
The idea is "to ensure we continue putting American workers first during our ongoing coronavirus recovery," the statement noted.
"With some exceptions, we should not permit large numbers of foreign workers to enter the United States at a time when so many Americans are out of work," it added.

According to the reports of the medical examiner’s investigation, country music star Luke Bell died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl.
On August 26, a witness in Tucson, Arizona found Bell, 32, who was the singer of “Where Ya Been?” dead in a shaded area of a parking lot, according to the officials. Bell was found in the city. Additionally, drug paraphernalia was located at the scene of the crime.
In a report that was made public on Monday, the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office stated that “in consideration of the known circumstances surrounding this death, the available medical history, and the inspection of the remains, the cause of death is assigned to fentanyl intoxication.”
“The cause of death was found to be accidental.”
According to a bio on his Spotify profile, Bell, who was born and raised in Cody, Wyoming, worked as a ranch hand and attended “a couple of years of college” in Laramie before beginning a career in music.
According to his bio, he published his debut album in 2012 under his own name and described his music as having “healthy dashes of Bakersfield and classic Nashville” in addition to “a little bit honky tonk and a little bit Texas.”
Following the release of his second studio album, titled “Don’t Mind If I Do,” in 2014, he began performing as an opening act for artists such as Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, and Hank Williams Jr.
Bell’s most recent single, “Jealous Guy,” was published the previous year.

Heralded as “a singer of immense power and fervor” by The Los Angeles Times, Davóne Tines came to international attention during the 2015-16 in breakout performances at the Dutch National Opera premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Only the Sound Remains directed by Peter Sellars and at the Ojai Music Festival presenting works by Caroline Shaw and Kaija Saariaho with the Calder Quartet and the International Contemporary Ensemble. Recent highlights include the European premiere of David Lang’s prisoner of the state with Ilan Volkov conducting the BBC Symphony, Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri with Louis Langrée and the Cincinnati Symphony, John Adams’s El Niño with David Robertson and the Houston Symphony, and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with Stéphane Denève and the Saint Louis Symphony.
Davóne Tines was co-creator with Zack Winokur and composer Michael Schachter, as well as co-librettist, of The Black Clown, a music theater experience inspired by Langston Hughes’s poem of the same name that animates a black man’s resilience against America’s legacy of oppression by fusing vaudeville, opera, jazz, and spirituals to bring Hughes’s verse to life onstage.
In summer 2019, Davóne Tines made his Opera Theatre of Saint Louis debut in the world premiere of Terence Blanchard and Kasi Lemmons’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones based on the memoir of the American journalist, commentator, and New York Times op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow. John Adams and Peter Sellars’s Girls of the Golden West was the platform for Davóne Tines’ San Francisco Opera debut, and the work was later given its European premiere by Dutch National Opera. He has appeared at the Opéra national de Paris, and Teatro Real; and made his Brooklyn Academy of Music debut in Matthew Aucoin’s Crossing in a production by multi-Tony Award-winning director Diane Paulus.

The picture with this post is of a sea arch at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, aptly called Portal to the Sun. Brothers Chris and Frank drove down California’s central coast highway on Saturday. They had lunch at Nepenthe, home of the Ambrosia Burger and also particularly bold Stellar Jays that will swoop down and snap a French fry off your plate if you are not vigilant. Chris’s photograph, at the bottom of this post evokes the sense that one is looking through a doorway into another world. The combination of low tide and sunset conspire to perfection, to create this feeling of other worldliness.
Pfeiffer Beach should not to be confused with Pfeiffer State Park, even though they are named after the same woman and are located nearby each other. Pfeiffer Beach is located on the north end of Big Sur and is on National Forest land. The Portal to the Sun is a favorite with photographers and last Saturday was no exception. By sunset, when Chris setup his camera’s tripod, a dozen photographers had gathered to try their hand at capturing the moment. The coincidence of low tide made this opportunity especially precious.
Chris used the technique of high dynamic range or HDR photography to create his image. With this technique, he combined ten separate photos into one. He programmed his camera to automatically slide through a spectrum of different exposure levels and then in post-processing combined them together, to bring out all of the different lighting levels of the scene. This is how the details of the dark side of the rock are visible along with the bright sunlit wispy clouds.
HDR photography is a technique that attempts to mimic what the human eye does naturally. The eye naturally has a much higher dynamic range than even the best of modern camera equipment can aspire to. HDR post-processing techniques go a long way to alleviate this disparity.
I mentioned that there were a dozen photographers present at this sunset. Chris spoke with a British Columbian who could only heaped scorn on HDR photography. In his defense, it does sometimes lead to photos with an unnatural palette of color tones. Chris’s Portal to the Sun photograph aspires to an other worldliness. The product of the digital process that he employed could not be duplicated with film. HDR is a complicated technique; it requires specialized equipment and is not for everybody. The proof is in the pudding.

Mississippi is shrinking, Census Bureau predicts; Louisiana is worse
Published 8:28 am Saturday, December 22, 2018
JACKSON (AP) — The Census Bureau says Mississippi joined eight other states and Puerto Rico in losing population from July 2017 to July 2018.
A report released Wednesday estimates that Mississippi, with a population of nearly 3 million, was down by 3,122 residents.

A precise communication between the nervous and the vascular systems is crucial for proper formation and function of the central nervous system (CNS). Interestingly, this communication does not only occur by neural cells regulating the growth and properties of the vasculature, but new studies show that blood vessels actively control different neurodevelopmental processes. Here, we review the current knowledge on how neurons in particular influence growing blood vessels during CNS development and on how vessels participate in shaping the neural compartment. We also review the identified molecular mechanisms of this bidirectional communication.

Today R.S. McCain at The Other McCain broke the news that Jared Loughner’s obsession, the film Zeitgeist, won a Progressive film award at the Artivist film festival (art + activist = artivist, cute). Artivist is sponsored by Brazilian oil giant, Petrobras, or at least Petrobras sponsors their film festival and is placed prominently on the Artivist website. George Soros held a controlling interest in Petrobras, until the public announcement that Obama would give Brazil at least $2 billion for oil exploration. Then Soros sold. This is important why?
It is important because the media, while allowing the hype of Loughner’s “right-wing” tendencies to live on, refuses to talk about the Zeitgeist Movement, just as they refused to talk about Petrobras, Soros, Barack Obama and U.S. taxpayer monies.
As Sarah Palin said on Hannity last night: we must refuse to let the lies live on.
It’s just more piece of the Jared Loughner puzzle that isn’t a puzzle to anyone anymore, except Leftists. Let me lay it out:
Zeitgeist+Petrobras+GeorgeSoros+JaredLoughner =Far Left Moonbat.
Zeitgeist received Artivist’s “Best Feature Artivist Spirit” award. “Spirit” is a take on the definition of the German word “Zeitgeist,” which in general is: “the spirit of the time(s)” or “the spirit of the age.”
From Artivist – Zeitgeist, Best Feature Artivist Spirit
Zeitgeist was created in the hope that that it will inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective, and to relay the understanding that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The film is an expose on the social fallacies that currently plague this fundamental progerss by way of critically analyzing common political, religious and economic understandings which most have assumed to be true.
ARTIVIST is a leader in the Progressive and Green movement, and has received public endorsements from various global leaders and organizations including the UNITED NATIONS and Claes Nobel of the Nobel Peace Prize Family.
Films Premiered at the Artivist Film Festival have received international acclaim such as ACADEMY AWARD winner “Born Into Brothels”, ACADEMY AWARD Nominees “Super-Size Me” and “God Sleeps in Rwanda”, “Fast Food Nation”, “Emmanuelle’s Gift”, “Zeitgeist”, “Trudell“, “Stolen Childhoods”, and more.
Artivist is produced by THE ARTIVIST COLLECTIVE, INC.
A “right-wing” organization would choose to over-pay taxes before attaching the word “COLLECTIVE” to any part of their business. The United Nations would rather endorse Kim Jong-il than an American business routinely reporting profits (a majorly-green company might be the exception). George Soros would not hold controlling interest in any company sponsoring “right-wing” causes.
And one more – yet another distinction for Zeitgeist discovered by McCain: the “Activist Atheist” award. Looks like he may be offering beers for a particular piece of evidence. Atheist=Left
The point: There is nothing “right-wing” about Jared Loughner.

Anxiety is a normal part of life, but it can become too much to handle. If you’ve tried everything else and your anxiety is still causing problems in your day-to-day life, then try some of these foods or drinks to reduce anxiety. They contain naturally occurring chemicals like tryptophan that help increase serotonin levels in your brain which will make you feel less stressed out!
Chamomile tea is a great way to reduce anxiety. It’s a natural relaxant that has been used for centuries to help people sleep better and reduce stress.
The main ingredient in chamomile is apigenin, which has been shown to have anti-anxiety effects by reducing the activity of neurons in the brainstem area responsible for controlling breathing and heart rates. The more apigenin you consume, the more effective it will be at reducing anxiety symptoms such as nervousness and restlessness.
In addition to its use as an herb for calming nerves during stressful situations such as public speaking or job interviews where there are large groups present at once, chamomile tea can also help with insomnia because it contains chemicals called benzodiazepines which help calm down the brain waves so that they don’t get too high/low during sleep periods
Milk or yogurt
Milk or yogurt are good sources of tryptophan, a natural amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter. Tryptophan is converted into serotonin and other hormones in your body that help you feel better about yourself.
Milk also contains calcium, which is an important mineral for maintaining a healthy heart and brain function. It’s also one of the most common food allergens, so if you’re sensitive to dairy products (or any other food), it’s best to avoid them altogether until you know what foods will make you feel better when they’re introduced back into your diet later on down the line!
Yogurt provides protein along with vitamins B12 and D3 (which are essential for many bodily functions). They’re also high in probiotics; the good bacteria living inside us!
Oatmeal is a good source of B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium. It’s also rich in fiber, tryptophan, and vitamin E.
The protein in oatmeal can help you feel full longer so that you’ll be less tempted to snack on unhealthy foods later on.
Salmon and tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been found to help your brain function. They also contain protein, vitamin B12 and D (which helps to reduce anxiety).
Eggs, turkey, and other meats
Tryptophan is an amino acid that is converted to serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Eggs, turkey,d other meats are good sources of tryptophan, which can be beneficial for people with both depression and anxiety disorders.
Yogurt or cheese with a small apple, pear, and cherry tomatoes
Yogurt and cheese are good calcium sources, which help reduce anxiety. You can add fruit to the yogurt or cheese to make it more palatable. Apples, pears,d cherry tomatoes will help provide a more balanced meal that contains a variety of nutrients needed for mental health.
Calcium is an integral part of maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It also plays an important role in the brain’s development during childhood; therefore, if you want your child’s mind (and body) at its best then they must get enough calcium each day from their diet!
Walnuts and almonds
Walnuts and almonds are good sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They can also help lower blood pressure, an important factor in reducing anxiety.
Spinach, leafy greens, and clover sprouts
Spinach and leafy greens are rich in vitamin E, which can help reduce anxiety. Vitamin E is found in nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
Dark chocolate contains tryptophan, a compound that helps to produce serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin is one of the hormones responsible for regulating mood and sleep, while melatonin is an important hormone produced by your body that regulates your circadian rhythms.
Dark chocolate is also a good source of magnesium, which can help reduce anxiety by relaxing blood vessels in the brain. Magnesium deficiency causes an imbalance in calcium levels in your body causing calcium deposition on soft tissue causing stiffness or pain when bending over or walking too far away from home.
Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea
Green Tea contains the amino acid L-theanine which can help to reduce anxiety. It also has many other health benefits such as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Green Tea is a better source of L-theanine than other types of teas like black or oolong because it contains more antioxidants which may reduce inflammation in your body that contributes to anxiety symptoms
Tryptophan can help to increase your levels of serotonin
Tryptophan is an amino acid that is a precursor to serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that helps to relax the body and mind. Foods that contain tryptophan include:
- Chicken breast
- Egg yolks
- Goat cheese
This may not be the most exciting list of foods, but it’s an important one. You could try adding some of these foods into your diet today, or even make a cup of tea before bed. If you really want to get serious about improving your mood and reducing anxiety, then I would highly recommend reading up on clinical trials and trying supplements like Melatonin.

BOSTON — As the minutes tick down before a Boston Red Sox home game, the State Street Pavilion is a flurry of activity.
The area is perched right behind home plate and holds one of the best views in all of New England. Upwards of 300 baseball-crazed fans are feasting and talking baseball in anticipation before settling down for nine innings.
In in the middle of it all is Meriden native Jim Kallinich, the Client Services Coordinator for Corporate Sponsorships & Client Services who heads the State Street Pavilion.
Kallinich, 30, worked his way up through the ranks to his current job with the Red Sox. He said he did by applying the lessons of hard work and perseverance he learned while playing football at Platt High School under former coach Tom Ryan and current coach Jason Bruenn.
Kallinich, a 2005 grad, served as a captain in his senior year on the line, helping the Panthers reach the state playoffs.
Kallinich said one of the biggest accomplishments was defeating Maloney on each Thanksgiving.
Following high school, Kallinich did a year post-grad at Cheshire Academy, then moved on to Endicott College and then launched his goal of joining the Red Sox.
Kallinich broke in at Fenway in 2013 as a Day-Game assistant and then was an assistant in the office. It was good timing. The Red Sox won the World Series that year and Kallinich collected a championship ring. He said he puts it on occasionally, including every Opening Day.
“I came in as an intern at 25 years old,” Kallinich said. “I was a little older and behind the 8-ball. I was working two full-time jobs. I was here 35 hours a week and I was doing my other job 40 hours a week,…

Lamborghini’s one-tonne wonder
999kg, 419kW V10 Sesto Elemento supercar concept points to Lamborghiniâ€™s lightweight future.
Italian supercar maker Lamborghini is set to become even more exclusive - and expensive - with the announcement that the carbon-fibre-constructed Sesto Elemento is more than just a design study and a signpost to the brand's future.
Weighing in at a tick under 1000kg but fitted with a mighty 419kW V10 engine that sends its power to all four wheels, the brand's newest addition is said to be able to reach 100km/h in just 2.5 seconds, a prospect which has so excited company chief executive Stephan Winkelmann that he has committed to build the exotic composite material into every future model.
"Systematic lightweight engineering is crucial for future super sports cars: for the most dynamic performance, as well as for low emissions," Winklemann says. "We will apply this technological advantage right across our model range. Every future Lamborghini will be touched by the spirit of the Sesto Elemento."
Lamborghini has also taken a minimalist approach to the interior, doing away with traditional seats and instead fixing seat cushions directly to the monocoque frame.
The engine's electronic control unit is clearly displayed in keeping with the brand's racing heritage while the dashboard contains just three buttons - one to start the car, another to shift into reverse and a third to switch on the lights.
Lamborghini had issued a series of teaser images of the Sesto Elemento over the past few weeks, though it was widely believed that the images were of the replacement for the Murcielago, the soon-to-be-revealed Jota.

“I'm telling you now.”
John stopped in front of her. “I should have told you sooner. That was my mistake, and I will pay for it, assuming I haven't already.” He bent closer, mindful of their audience. “Some things are not your job. Some things, you leave to those who know what the hell they're doing. Do you really believe you said anything that Sikara and Cossa didn't already know? They were going to wait until they spoke with Markos and prepared him for the onslaught, until they had everything in place. The concept of Thalassan autonomy is a smoke screen. The idea that someone who decides to hybridize risks losing their livelihood, their life's workâ¦” His eyes clouded. “That's the more important point.” He bit a thumbnail. That was a new tic, one that the angle of his hand revealed had already claimed the index and middle fingers. “Quino's sharp, but as Sikara said, he makes mistakes. This dramatic raid of his was a mistake. You've given him a chance to recover.”
Jani sat back, fighting the invisible weight that pressed down on her shoulders. “They won't have time. This isn't Chicagoâthey're out of their element here.”
“They have what they need. A few Service officers. A few colonial officials. If Stash Markos isn't placed under house arrest by sunset, we'll be very lucky.” John laughed, a humorless bark. “Of course, they won't call it that. They'll invent a reason to place him in protective custody. A newly discovered assassination plot, or something.”
More Thalassans appeared, and the setup for the afternoon meal that Jani always thought of as “fourses” began in earnest. Her stomach growled as aromas of baking bread and various tangy sauces reached her. The animal, demanding
her feeding, even as the higher being's gut twisted and she wished she could crawl in a cave and hide. “But if they took your recordsâ”
“That's the documents examiner in you, fixed on paper.” John's voice defrosted, a little. “I do keep copies. And the most important thingsâ¦let's just say they're safe, and leave it at that.” He quieted. Then he circled around the sofa and strode to the lift. “I'll be downstairs, working. While I still have work to do, and time in which to do it.” He nodded curtly to the few Thalassans who offered greetings. Waited by the lift for a few moments, then struck the wall with the flat of his hand and headed for the stairs.
Jani lay back her head and closed her eyes. The hum of courtyard conversation, the clatter of plates and the beeps of cookers, formed a pleasant background noise. Enough to clear her racing mind and quiet her rumbling stomach, purge Meva's laugh and Tsecha's dismissal and John's doubt. But not lulling enough to bring sleep. That escape route had closed to her, provided no respite at all. Instead, she just breathed slowly, in and out, and tried not to think of what tomorrow's meeting might bring.
“Where did you get this ham?”
Jani opened one eye to find Val standing in front of her, holding a filled plate.
“It can't be Virginia, can it? I didn't think Earth would trade with you.” He sat on the edge of the low table and plucked strips of baked ham from a pile that included sliced hybrid mango and bean salad.
“It's Hortensian, I think.” Jani forced open the other eye and sat up. “Glad you like it.” She watched Val shovel in food with the focused abandon of a starving teenager. “Should you be here, considering?”
Val stopped his fork halfway to his mouth, then lowered it. “I begged your excellent Mister Brondt to let me layover. He found me a room, and I showered. Took a nap. Pretended I was at a resort, far away from everything, waiting for the love of my life to show up.” He tried another bite of ham,
then set his plate on the table. “I have a reservation at some place in Karistos, but as soon as I'd show up, Quino would lock me down. I'd be a prisoner. Who needs that shit? I hid as soon as I saw the skimmers in the driveway.” He sighed. “I wanted to see John. I wanted to at least try to make itâ¦not seem soâ¦”
“Horrible?” Jani leaned forward, hands clenched between her knees to keep from reaching out for Val's neck. “Rotten? Insert your adjective of choice here. If you run out of English, there's Elyan Greek, my Acadian Frenchâ”
Val pressed his hands to his temples, then locked his fingers behind his neck. “How is he?”
“How do you think?” Jani forced a smile at two Thalassans who wandered past. “He went downstairs to work.”
“That's John for you. It was the same at Rauta ShÃ¨rÃ a. âJohn, that last bomb hit right next door!' âIt missed us? Great! Time enough for one more assay.'” Val laughed, a sound softened by memory. “Sikara and Cossa.” His brow arched. “John picked the right man. Rudo hates Quino's guts.” His eyes closed halfway as he accessed long-buried gossip. “Fight over a girl, back in the Pleistocene. Don't know who won. Can't have been over Quino's wife. He wouldn't cross the street for her.” He sniffed, then grinned, one marriage dissected and all was right with the world. “So what happened? With Quino and that?”
“It wentâ” Jani stopped, then studied Val's handsome face. Close enough to reach out and touch, yet so far, far away. “They came for some documents. Both sides worked it out.”
“But didn't Rudoâ?” Val's brow furrowed. Then his face reddened. “Oh.” He looked toward the courtyard, where fourses had hit its stride, a hundred different conversations bouncing off every hard surface. “I guessâ” He coughed. “Yeah.” He braced his hands on the table's edge, then pushed to his feet and grabbed his plate. “I have to go.” He didn't look back as he maneuvered around the planters and the maze of tables and vanished into the shadows.
Well, I finally kept my mouth shut.
“And that didn't help, either.” Jani girded herself, then rose and walked into the midst of the mealtime melee. Filled a plate and found a seat away from everyone, the transient on the run, with no time to talk.
Then she went to the library. Dragged a favorite chair out onto the balcony. Found a recording board and a stylus and made notes for the next day's meeting.
Jani wandered upstairs eventually, after the Main House had gone dark but for the graveyard crew. A determinedly nonchalant question to the night nurse awarded her the news that John had retired an hour earlier. Now she stood before the door to their suite, hand on the control, and pondered.
He should be asleep by now.
Years of hospital training had left him a light sleeper, but if she undressed in the sitting room and slept on the couchâ¦
The door whispered open and she crept inside. Stepped inside the bedroom just long enough to pull a T-shirt out of her armoire, and stilled when she heard the rustle of bed-clothes, the voice.
“Where've you been?”
Jani activated a table lamp, since there was no longer any reason to risk her shins in collision with the furniture. “Library.”
“I should've guessed.” John worked into a sitting position and activated the bedside light. “I ran into Val in the clinic. He was wandering around, trying to make himself useful. He sounded quite hurt. Said you'd given him the boot.”
“He asked what had happened with Quino. I didn't tell him.” Jani boosted atop the low dresser. Under normal cir
cumstances, she would have sat at the foot of the bed, then edged closer toward the inevitable, but normal was a day ago. A lifetime ago. “I was practicing keeping my mouth shut.”
John hung his head. “I'm sorry for that.”
Jani smoothed the T-shirt over her knees, stretching out creases. “I can't do anything. I can't make it stop. Every time I open my mouth, I say the wrong thing. Every time I don't open my mouthâ¦same difference.” She folded the shirt in half lengthwise, then rolled it from the bottom up into a tight tube. When she finished, she stared at it. In another life she'd have tossed it in her duffel and continued packing, but she wasn't going anywhere. Now when things got tough, she had to stay put. “Every time I do something, it's exactly the thing you don't want done.”
John's head snapped up.
“I don't need you to do anything.”
He flinched as his own volume battered him, then sagged against the headboard. “I just need you to be there. It means a great deal. To be able to look across a table, across a room, and see you.” His face lightened in grim wonder. “I can't recall ever feeling so alone. Even in Rauta ShÃ¨rÃ a, after you left the first time. The way I felt then was nothing like the way I felt this afternoon. It hit me like a broadside that I was going to lose it. All of it. That Val would do what he could, but in the end he'd save the companyâ¦even if that meant shunting me aside.” His eyes widened, flashing silver in the half-light.
“He wouldn't haveâ¦” Jani hesitated. Then she shook out the T-shirt and started rolling it anew.
“Even you doubt him.” John looked around the room as though searching for something. Then he fixed on her, waiting until her gaze met his. “This year has been the best of my life. I worked. I changed. I learned so much.” A bare hint of a smile. “And you were always there, somewhere. Not side by side with me every moment, but still. Always together, working toward the same goal. It was the way Rauta ShÃ¨rÃ a should have been. The way my entire life should haveâ”
His voice cracked, and he smoothed his hands over the sheet again and again.
“You think I'll leave you if you lose Neoclona?” Jani looked around the bedroom and sawâ¦a room. It possessed a beautiful view and held all she had never wanted or needed, and yetâ¦
You leave rooms. You close doors, and never open them again.
They were places you passed through, not places you remained. “I once lived out of a Guernsey Station storage closet for two months. I'm adaptable.”
“I'm not. Not anymore.” John pushed a hand through his hair, the wheaten strands capturing all available illumination and holding it like a miser. “I won't be the same, after they take it away.”
Jani set the shirt aside and slid off the dresser. “You'll be what you've always been.” She approached the bed slowly, ready to veer toward a nearby chair at the first hint of rejection. “You were a controlling, arrogant, brilliant, driven pain in the ass in Rauta ShÃ¨rÃ a. Before you'd built your empire. Before anyone had heard of Neoclona.” She paused at the footboard. “You're still controlling, still arrogant, still driven. Still brilliant. Still a pain. In these essentials, you will never change. You'll take what's available and remake it as you always have. You are what you've always been, and will continue to be whilst you breathe.”
John managed a grin. “That sounds like something your father would say.”
“He does.” Jani lowered to the edge of the bed, just within arm's reach. “Mostly to my mother.”
“A handful, is she?” John pushed down the sheet, then pulled up his legs so he sat cross-legged. “He and I should get together sometime and compare notes on the Kilian women. I think he'd talk to me. He seems to like me a little more than does your mother.” His brow twitched. “Brilliant?”
Jani rolled her eyes. “I thought you'd pick that out of the list first.”
“But also controlling, arrogant, driven, and a pain in the ass.” John wiped a hand over his face. The first hint of beard
glinted across his cheeks, combining with ruffled hair and skewed T-shirt to make him appear agreeably rumpled. “And yet you love me anyway.”
“I've been told more than once that I possess my own endearing qualities.” Jani shrugged. “One of the reasons we're together is because we can't find anyone else who'll put up with us.” She looked over at John, to find him staring her down, lips slightly parted.
“We could've found worse places to land.” He reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders, pulling her to him, applying rough kisses to her face and neck and lower still as he peeled away first her clothes, then his. He drove into her almost immediately, going off on his own for most of the journey, not waiting for her to catch up. Too intent this time on finding solace to offer any.
Jani held him until he finished, and cradled him as he slept. So much simpler, sex, even though it only served to delay. Even though it was only half the song, the melody sans the words. But she'd settle for half, accept it and never argue. For her, the words had always been the difficult part.
All was still and quiet, but for John's breathing and the tumult in her own head. She slept eventually.
And she dreamed.
The sunrise horizon glowed orange as Rilas parked her skimmer behind a rock formation, then gathered dried scrub and branches and spread them across it, obscuring it further. Even the smallest risk could not be allowed, for there were dangers enough at times such as this, when the moment had come to act. When the planning ended and the action began.
Once she had hidden the skimmer, she uttered a prayer to Caith and strode to the house. Her slingbag hung from her shoulder, bumping her hip with every stride. Animals fled before her, scuttling beneath rocks as she passed.
The dawn air felt cool, which she did not expect. So much did this place resemble Rauta ShÃ¨rÃ a that she anticipated
the same warmth, longed for it.
Soon her task would be completed, and she would be free to leave this godless world. Her berths had been purchased, as had her new name, her new possessions. All rested in a locker at Elyas Station, assembled in pieces by those who did not know that which they did, and left in their hiding place by another. So eager, humanish and idomeni both, to perform tasks for payment. So disinterested, humanish and idomeni both, in the reasons for that which they did.
Such is the way of humanish, which the idomeni have taken as theirs.
So said nÃ¬Rau CÃ¨el, who knew all there was to know of these matters.
Rilas surveyed the area around the house, both visually and with a handheld scanner. She compared the signaling to that she had compiled on the day she first visited the place, took note of the minor variations. More small animals had entered and departed, leaving their food remnants and their waste. Leaves had blown in through one of the broken windows, piling in one corner of the area she had chosen for staging.
But no being has entered.
The inevitable disturbances created by a large form walking through a rubble-strewn, dusty space did not reveal themselves. Since the day she first examined this house, no one else had visited.
She walked through the shattered entry, then across the rubble-strewn room to the window. Took one last look at the grounds, the distant cliffs and the sliver of bay beyond. Then lowered her slingbag to the floor and knelt beside it. Opened the flap and set to work, hands moving with speed born of practice as her mind pondered the details of the task ahead.
She removed the pieces of the rifle strut, assembled it and balanced it atop the sill. Assembled the rifle itself. Activated the sight mech, then tossed its satellite into the air to find its way to the area above the target. Removed one of the cylinders from its chill encasement and inserted it into the chamber. Locked it within.
She eased into a half-sitting, half-reclining position atop the wide sill, edging onto her side so she could lie beside the
rifle. Brought it close and curled around it. Felt the sharp chill of the rocks through her thin clothing, the edges like blades digging into her skin, and offered the pain to Caith as sacrifice, as always.
Pressed the rifle to her shoulder and lowered her eye to the sight mech. Waited for the secondary to activate, calibrate, and send back the first of the signals.
Nothing for a time but blurred images of portions of the house yard. Then came color. Clarity. The image of the distant road. The houses that lined it. The meeting house around which workers had gathered and commenced their labors.
Rilas settled in. She was at her most vulnerable now, this she knew and truly, so fixed on her target that she could miss any warning signal from her secondary.
But such is as it is.
Such risk was the tribute she paid Tsecha, the fact that at some point she left herself as open, as exposed, as he was.
She breathed the fetid air, let it fill her, became one with the blasted house.

Consider the earth orbiting around the sun. We know the interaction and can solve for the orbit.
From the force you calculate the earth’s orbit and with initial condition you know where it is at all times.
Given the Hamitonian H one can calculate the quantum wave function that is equivalent to the full QS.
Know how the atom will behave in terms of the wave function.
Suppose the problem is too difficult to solve because the interaction is more complicated.
For the two slit experiment you propagate a particle to slit 1 (the interaction) and then to the screen.
For this I can write down an amplitude to reach the screen by nature of the interaction.
One difference in QM is that I need to find all possible ways to reach the ending state
I can imagine a more complex system with a series of interactions.
My goal would be to calculate the amplitude to travel along any given path and then sum over all possible paths. Feynman diagrams diagrammatically represent this deeply complicated mathematical process. A first order diagram in some sense shows the interaction as a single step process, as if you can get a good result by correcting the trajectory one time classically. High order diagrams are similar to the multiple corrections required to find the asteroids final trajectory. In addition to the expansion of the interaction Feynman diagrams represent the multitude of ways that quantum systems can travel. The amplitudes for each trajectory will be included and interference may result.

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month! In the clinic we see quite a few people dealing with symptoms associated with arthritis. The good news is that there are some easy ways to help decrease the pain associated with arthritis.
1. Eat heathy and drink plenty of water. Eating earthly and drinking plenty of water will make sure your joints stay hydrated and function properly and you are ready for the day.
2. Stretching. Stretching will allow your muscles to stay loose and allow for optimal movement.
3. Stay active. Walking biking, and swimming are great low impact forms of exercises. Guidelines recommend 150 minutes of activity per week or 30 minutes 5x/week.
4. Heat or Ice. Both can help decrease joint pain, or you can even alternate them throughout the day. Apply either for about 10-15 minutes at a time and leave at least 45 minutes between your next application!
Do you have questions about how physical therapy can help your arthritis pain?! Give us a call for more information at 1-888-THERAPY.
