Match Report – Northamptonshire 1st Team vs Leicestershire 1st team
September 3rd 2017 @ Glen Gorse Golf Club
The final and decisive game of the Anglian league season took place and the well-presented Glen Gorse Golf Club on the outskirts of Leicester. Practise had taken place during the week and for four players on the Saturday afternoon prior to the matches. Sunday's weather was cool, cloudy and increasing breeze throughout the day. With quick and slopey greens to contend with – the matches looked evenly set, though Glen Gorse would appear to be a course where some experience of the course would be advantageous.
With 3 counties all still in with a real chance of completing league victory –Leicestershire required a victory and a Lincolnshire loss. Lincolnshire playing away in Suffolk required a loss for Northants and we required a win. One of the closest Anglian League finishes for many years.
The Northamptonshire 8 were made up of Fraser Carnihan (Cold Ashby), Ryan Connolly (Wellingborough), Callum Farr (Priors Hall), Mikey Chambers (Overstone Park), Tom Bullough & Liam McNeela (Northants County), Lewis White (Northampton) and Miles Mudge (Staverton). A team with a lovely blend of youth and experience – while admittedly missing a few key players to International duty, return to University and holidays.
The morning foursomes began, with Callum Farr and Mikey Chambers opening for Northants against Coby Cartwright and Chris Brook. This match was effectively decided on the greens with Coby holing his 'fair share' and our pair not doing the same. A 3&1 defeat would be the eventual outcome in this one, despite some excellent golf from tee to green from both pairs.
In match 2 Fraser Carnihan and Miles Mudge's opponents Jack Mayfield and Scott Wormleighton would get off the a flyer, 4 birdies in the first holes saw them open up a 4 hole advantage through 6 holes. As you would expect from the Northants pair, their never say die attitude would see holes clawed back at regular intervals. 2 down thru 11 and 1 down thanks to a birdie at the 13th hole. A fantastic birdie up the long par 17th saw the match return to all square. Two excellent shots into the equally long 18th and the Northants pair would have the chance to win the match with Leicestershire failing to get up and down for 4. However, our boys would fail to make par following a very quick, downhill putt slipped by and the return putt missed. The resulting half would have been taken if offered early in the match, but this felt like a half point lost in the end. Credit to Mudgie and Fraser for their fight back!
Third match on the course a new pairing for Northants with Liam McNeela returning to the side having missed the last two matches, partnering Tom Bullough, retaining his place following two impressive wins in the previous match. This match began in Northants favour with a couple of birdies in the first 4 holes, to take a 3 hole advantage. By the middle of the round this had been pegged back to 1up after 12. A birdie 4 on 13 returned Northants to 2 up, however with errors from both pairs on the increasingly difficult 14th hole, Leicestershire gained the hole and would again win 16th with a birdie to return the match to AS. So the match would again rest on the final 2 par 4's both in excess of 450 yards. Liam's drive on 17 would find a good spot on the fairway and Tom's excellent approach into the green would finish close enough for a gimme – fantastic reply!! After another fantastic tee shot up the 18th from Tom, Liam's well controlled wedge shot left Tom a simple 20 footer up the slope – in the end 2 putts were good enough to half the hole and win the match 1 up.
Match 4 would see the best golf of the morning series. Lewis White and Ryan Connolly matched up against Leicestershire's Captain Martin Anderson and Luke Burrows. These pairs traded birdies all morning, walking off the 16th green match all square – both pairs were 5 under par. Leicester's captain said later in the day it was one of the best foursome matches he had been involved in for some time. Unfortunately after a couple of wayward tee shots on 17 and 18, the Northants lads would lose both holes and the match 2 down. A match of high quality deserved a better finish.
So that left the morning scores 2.5-1.5 to Leicestershire and with news filtering through from Suffolk that Lincolnshire were leading 3-1 it was clear that a significant afternoon singles series was required from Northants to retain their chances at clinching only our third ever Anglian League title. The news from Suffolk probably meant the Leicestershire's chances of winning the league had almost disappeared.
After a short lunch break, players were back on the course with Fraser Carnihan (one of only 2 players that have played all 5 matches) matched up against Coby Cartwright in the first singles match. Occasionally you come up against a player that can do no wrong and this was the situation for Fraser on this afternoon. 3 birdies in the first 7, including 2 holed putts from in excess of 40 feet, Coby would carry on knocking in putts with Fraser playing very solid golf – the match would finish on the 13th green with the Leicester player 5 under par. In the increasingly difficult afternoon conditions, this was simply an excellent display of golf.
In matches 2 and 3 Callum Farr and Liam McNeela provided a little youth at the top of the order. Callum's match was very close through the first third of the round, while Liam got off to a slow start, mixed with some good play from his opponent and was 3 down after 7. Northants would lose the 7th hole, then followed 2 hole wins and 2 hole losses to be 1 down after 13. Callum would gain this deficit back by the 17th tee. Unfortunately one slightly misplaced tee shot would cost Callum and he went on to lose his match 1 down.
In match 3, Liam was doing everything he could to turn his match around, he had gained one hole back to be 2 down through 13, but his opponent made the most ridiculous birdie on 14 from being well out of position after his tee shot, a second shot that would clatter trees, bounce short of and over a greenside bunker to leave a rapid, sideways breaking putt from 25 feet – which he holed! Liam's excellent approach to 18 feet below the hole didn't drop, resulting in a 3 hole deficit. To his credit Liam picked himself up quickly and promptly gained that hole straight back on 15, but needing birdies his approach shot on 16 would fall off the back of the green, leaving a devilish chip back – one he could not make up and down from and the match was lost. So the first three matches had gone to Leicestershire – leaving a miracle required…..
By this point the number of supporters (some past officials and captains) from Northamptonshire became evident to the captain, who had seconded himself at the far end of the course. In 15 years of playing county golf, I have never seen so many county supporters, this was great to see and I know much appreciated by all the players.
Mile Mudge was out 4 and Mudgie continued the excellent golf displayed in the practise round and morning foursomes matches – running out a 4 hole lead after 11 holes – obviously the investment in some modern technology was well worthwhile Miles! Despite one slightly (!!) wide tee shot, Miles would close his match out on the 16th green. An excellent performance from one of the counties most committed and dependable players.
Lucky number 5 was Tom Bullough. Tom started well and opened up a 2 hole advantage over the front 9, with solid golf giving no easy holes away to his opponent. His two hole advantage lasted through 11 holes, then an opposition holed bunker shot for eagle followed by another hole win turned the match back to all square through 13 holes. On the 16th Tom's second from the trees on the left handside, looked destined to be stiff, but with the wind beginning to blow stronger the ball pitched on the back edge and bounded out of bounds! A deflating blow to Tom's and possibly the teams chances….this bad fortune would eventually lead to a loss, 1 down. Tom's first loss for the county.
At 6, Mikey Chambers, the second of our ever present players for the 2017 season. Mikey looked to be battling both his opponent and his game over the opening holes. Despite this he managed to get through the first 7 holes at all square. Though 1 down entering the back 9. He had got this back with two birdies at the back to back par 5's and won 14 to finally get his nose in front. On 16 Mikey wisely played left of the hole position, which was very tricky. Putting to this location up the green, the putt was incredibly slopey and faster than expected with players throughout the day being caught out. Mikey's play to the left side of the green paid off, as he holed a 30 footer across the green to turn his match to 2 up. Despite losing the 17th, Mikey would make an accomplished 4 on 18 to close his match out. This had been the Mikey's first full season in the first team squad, with 6 wins from his 10 matches Mikey has had an excellent season and pays off the work he has put in on his game but also the strength and conditioning work with Prevail, over the winter months.
In matches 7 and 8, Ryan and Lewis potentially had the pressure of the whole season on their shoulders. Again, both players started their matches well, both being 2 up after 6 holes. At this point in the day, with the first matches comfortably around the turn it became increasingly obvious that the overall result would be very close and pressure was building.
While Ryan's advantage extended to 3 up after 8, Lewis was pegged back to 1 up at the end of the front 9 – in another match against Martin Anderson that was flush with birdies. On the day attention turned away from the 2 lads at the back as earlier matches began to finish. When we next heard from Ryan, his advantage had been swallowed up thanks to a succession of stunning iron and wedge approaches from his opponent – 3 gimme birdies in the space of 5 holes. Lewis continued his match trading holes all the way. With both matches all square after 16 holes it became clear that the final result would be the odd point too far for Northants. Lewis played an exquisite bunker shot on 17 to save par, which was not matched for a 1 up advantage, Ryan playing the last, could not find the birdie putt to win his match. His opponent then holing a 10 footer to half the hole and match.
Lewis would secure a par which was enough to win his match 1 up – probably a fair result over the day for Lewis and Martin who had done battle all day – one win a piece.
The end result being a 7-5 victory for Leicestershire, meant neither team at Glen Gorse would win the league as news from Newton Green in Suffolk that Lincolnshire had won 9-3 securing their umpteenth league title. But with 8 of the 12 matches going down the last at Glen Gorse the outcome could so easily have been so much different!! This was an incredibly tight contest all day long.
Despite the disappointment for the Northamptonshire players and supporters, it was important to remind the team of how far we have come over the season. We have been able to enjoy the commitment of players to the cause and their tenacity, desire, spirit and will to succeed has been evident all season. Not only that, but they are a great group socially, enjoy each others company and generally have a great time on county weekends. The Captain could not be prouder of all the players that have represented the county during 2017, 15 players in total have played Anglian League matches. This shows the depth of talent available to us, with the obvious success of the boys team to back that up.
Northamptonshire County Golf is in a great place right now and has been the envy of many of our opponents this year! The future is bright – we may not have won the league this year – we'll look back to the afternoon singles against Lincolnshire as the main reason for that – but we should contend strongly in the Anglian League over the next few years.
As always, thanks to the support and background work done by Mike Gilbrook and Shane Rose, ensuring the players can focus 100% on playing golf on match days. And again thanks to the swell of support from Northamptonshire golfers, professionals and officials on the day.
It would be nice to get everyone together at the Am-Am on the 13th of October at Kingsthorpe to see everyone before winter closes in and off season coaching programmes begin.

Should Your Gutters And Fascia Have The Same Look?
especially if you are someone who likes to experiment and inject your own style and personality into your home's theme. Your fascia sit right below your gutters, and while they are certainly not the make-or-break element of the exterior of your home, they contribute to its overall look, and are elements you want to get right.
Many people wonder if it they should have their gutters match their fascia, or if they should have he same look for continuity's sake. Most gutter installation services will tell you that it really depends on what your goal is, but below are some things to consider when pairing your gutters and your fascia.
If you talk to a gutter installation company, they will most likely advise you to think of your fascia as the frame of your roof, separating it from the rest of your home. There are no real hard and fast rules as far as fascia are concerned, but many people like to go with traditional white because it is the cleanest look and provides a nice framing element to your roof.
The most important question to answer is, what does the rest of the exterior of your home look like? If, by keeping your gutters and fascia identical, you are creating no contrast or framing look to your home, you might be advised to go with fascia and gutters that compliment (it's important they don't clash), but are not exactly identical. If you have white window sashes but a darker colour roof and paint, a white fascia might be a nice white addition to a predominantly darker coloured home.
The bottom line is that fascia and gutters can match, but they don't have to. What matters is that you are happy with the overall look of your home, and that you feel your home and roof have been framed adequately by the fascia, as that is what it is ultimately there for.
Keep the above design considerations in mind, and ensure that your home looks well put together, whether your gutters and fascia match, or don't.

Turning a business "green" can seem like a huge undertaking. For a non-profit this evolution might seem even more daunting. But if a soup kitchen can afford to create a green facility, who can't?
The Cathedral Kitchen in Camden, N.J has partnered with Philadelphia green design firm, DAS Architects, to create one of the first environmentally friendly soup kitchens. Each month Cathedral Kitchen provides 8,000 meals to the poor and hungry. Operating since 1976, Cathedral Kitchen's contribution to the community is significant. Now, they're going beyond the call of duty to give back to the environment.
1. Local products: 20 percent of building products brought to the site were manufactured locally so Cathedral Kitchen reduced trucking and transportation costs.
2. Rejuvenating unused land: Cathedral kitchen revitalized unused and wasted property by constructing the new facility where an abandoned building once stood. The flooring is even made from recycled materials.
3. Cooling: Light color metal roofing will help reflect heat in the summertime months. Efficient appliances and lighting will be installed inside to help lower electricity bills.
4. Reused furniture: Boomerang, a pre-owned furniture supplier donated work stations for the soup kitchen's administrative offices. Reusing furniture saves money and makes more sense from an environmental perspective than creating brand new furniture from recycled materials.
5. Lighting: Ninety percent of Cathedral Kitchen's interior space will be from natural light. Windows provide natural light to save energy (and money) from artificial sources.

Brigham Young's son B. Morris Young as crossdresser (Madame Pattirini)
26th November 2014 Mormon Lady
B. Morris Young dressed as Madame Pattirini.
Brigham Morris Young (18 January 1854-20 February 1931 (Age 77)) was one of the founders of Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association (YMMIA), the predecessor of the Young Men Program in the Church of Jesus Christ of Last Day Saints (Mormon Church).
Morris Young was the son of Brigham Young and one of his wives, Margaret Pierce. Year 1875 earned Morris Young in a mission mission for the church in the Hawaiian Islands. Shortly after returning from this mission, he was asked by his father to organize YMMIA together with Junius F. Wells and Milton H. Hardy.
In 1883 served Morris Young in another missionary assignment in the Hawaiian Islands. He married Armeda Snow, a daughter of Lorenzo Snow. Their son Lorenzo Snow Young was a prominent architect in Utah.
Year 1885 returned Morris Young, his wife and their children from his service in his second mission in the Hawaiian Islands. Immediately after returning to Utah, Morris Young began to act as a crossdressing (transvestit) singer under the pseudonym Madam Pattirini. Morris Young behaved like Pattirini on venues in northern and central Utah from 1885 to 1900 century. He could perform a compelling falset, and many in the crowd did not realize that Pattirini was Morris Young.

Salesman - A documentary about four Bible salesman
It was a long time since I saw the documentary Salesman. It is about four Bible sellers in America. It was recorded in January 1967 (maybe also late December 1966) and has the copyright date 1968.
For Catholics and Protestants, so this film is something of a must see, a classic that is always current and timeless. One must follow the four vendors as they travel around and go door to door and trying to peddle expensive Bibles to often very poor people on the installment plan.
Here you can see the vendors use all the tools available, and they take all the sales tricks to sell to those who are not really afford. They sell even to people who already have a lot of Bibles, and the protests will be muted with well-known tricks and lots of flattery and a little flirting.
Everything is going to sell the mortgage payments, although expensive Bibles that nobody needs. There is a large beautiful bible with many pictures and jättedyr. One hears sales jargon from the vendors, and they are very polished and aware of what they do when they manipulate the prospective customer.
The prospective customers find them, inter alia in the church when they go to church services and brings up names that they then seek out the next few days. The contact that they have with someone a Sunday has already cooled down on a Wednesday, so the first few days of the week is hectic for them.
Of course, the customer wakes up the following day and realize they are not at all afford the expensive Bible, and when the seller comes to deliver the Bible so they do not want it. It is then that they realize they have to pay because of the contract they signed with the seller.
The documentary especially follows the struggle that soldier Paul Brennan has, a middle-aged Irish-American from Jamaica Plain, Boston, who struggles to try to maintain the sales volume he has.
Bible salesman as these have been found among Catholics and Protestants very long time. In Sweden, as they were called colporteurs, and they sold except Bibles even other religious literature.
So when Mormon missionaries knock on doors, and among the first things they do is to take up the Book of Mormon, so even a child can understand that people draw a direct parallel to these Bible salesman and lay preachers.
People perceive it in general as Mormon missionaries want to sell anything they, too, Mormon, even if it is free. For everyone knows that things are still free despite everything costs something, the only question is what? So it's not for nothing that the Mormon missionaries are perceived as religious salesman.
Just look at the four Bible salesmen in the documentary. They look like a Mormon missionaries everyone, and the only thing missing is just a name badge on his chest. It's suit, white shirt, tie, cut short, talkative, confident in his message, and with customers in mind all the time.
So for readers who happen to be Mormons - it's like this does not mean mormons perceive the missionaries.

"If the featured album was pitched as the world premiere recording of a newly discovered 16th century Celtic a capella setting of the liturgy uncovered in a remote Calvinist church on the Isle of Lewis it would, doubtless, attract attention. But as Rawdat al-Shuhuda' is a contemporary setting of excerpts from the 14th century Islamic dhikr – litany – by Husayn Vayiz Kashifi of Herat in Afghanistan sung in English, Arabic and Farsi to Celtic tunes in Irish, Manx and Scottish modes, it has been consigned to the lost baggage area where it is waiting to be reclaimed.
At a time when bridges between the Muslim world and the West are urgently needed the neglect of this bridge-building project is unfortunate but predictable. On the album the illahis – sacred songs of praise – are sung in nasheed style reflecting a tradition shared with Calvinism of minimal instrumental accompaniment, and the settings for five male voices use only judicious percussion – daf – as accompaniment. Sacred Muslim texts in the vernacular set to Celtic tunes are noteworthy enough, but the musicians involved are also worthy of note*.
"let's put on record that Timothy Winter considers the views of Muslim extremists as religiously illegitimate, inauthentic and contrary to the classical canons of Islamic law and theology."
One of the singers is Abdal Hakim Murad (Timothy Winter) who also made the translations and music settings. He is a British Muslim scholar, Dean of the Cambridge Muslim College and Shaykh Zayed Lecturer in Islamic Studies at Cambridge University, and has been acclaimed as Britain's most influential Muslim. And to lighten the baggage, let's put on record that Timothy Winter considers the views of Muslim extremists as religiously illegitimate, inauthentic and contrary to the classical canons of Islamic law and theology. He unequivocally rejects suicide bombing and considers the killing of noncombatants as unacceptable in any circumstances. Abdal Hakim/Timothy Winter has been working for many years to bridge the cultural gap between Arab, Persian and Turkish poetry and British musical traditions and sensibilities, and all proceeds from the sale of Rawdat al-Shuhuda' go towards the Cambridge new mosque project.
Another of the singers on Rawdat al-Shuhuda' is the British Muslim Ali Keeler. He is the classically-trained violinist who is making waves with his Al Firdaus Ensemble which plays a unique style of contemporary Al-Andalusian Sufi music with a Celtic twist. As recounted in my interview with him, Ali studied tajwid – the art of Qur'an recitation – in Syria and his contribution to the new album includes three exquisite Qur'an recitations.
The distinctive album artwork is the work of Abdallateef who also sings on the album. Abdallateef is better known as Ian Whiteman under which moniker he was multi-instrumentalist for the cult psychedelic folk rock band Mighty Baby in the late 1960s. Ian Whiteman was part of the Bristol Gardens/Wood Dalling Sufi zawiya that I wrote about in a recent post, as was Fairport Convention co-founder Richard Thompson. On Richard and Linda Thompson's classic Sufi-inspired 1975 album Pour Down Like Silver Ian Whiteman plays flute and shakuhachi in the backing band and as Abdallateef designed the album's very striking artwork. After making two increasingly Sufi-oriented albums with Mighty Baby Ian went on to form The Habibiyya, an ensemble which produced the forgotten but inspired 1972 album If Man But Knew. The Habibiyya along with Codona and Oregon were pioneers of a music without borders genre that was eventually misleadingly labelled as 'world music'. Since converting to Islam Abdallateef Whiteman has established a considerable reputation in the Muslim world as a graphic designer. An illuminating interview with him can be read via this link, and the graphic above was created by Ian for a thoughtful article on his blog about the misguided fashion for amplifying all genres of music.
In the halycon years before the advent of dumbingdown BBC Radio 3 broadcast a series called The Innocent Ear which was presented by that polymath Robert Simpson. In his biography of Edmund Rubbra (whose First Symphony was performed on The Innocent Ear) Leo Black describes how the programme "… identified its constituent works only after they had been heard, so freeing the listener's mind of preconceptions". Rawdat al-Shuhuda' demands to be listened to in exactly that way. In the video below one of the one of the illahis can be heard starting at 4'35". Please check all your baggage at the gate and listen with innocent ears."

Babagana Monguno, the National Security Adviser, has banned the planned helicopter shuttle service form Kaduna to Abuja by some helicopter companies.
Read what he wrote in a memo below.
"In view of the closure of the airport, air travelers will be required to travel by road/train to Abuja from Kaduna International Airport. This will undoubtedly cause constraints on the movement of some passengers who will aim to travel using other means, notably the use of commercial ferry helicopters.

of the large towers and bounced its radiance on my rear view mirror. Quickly, I adjusted the direction of the glare, and the light now added a sparkle to my gilded locket. It was a pendant of Lord Ganesh. He is the elephant-headed deity of the Hindus – the destroyer of obstacles and an embodiment of wisdom and bliss. I clasped the pendant in my fist and thought what had compelled me to wear it always.
A routine family vacation turned into a nightmare when our car collided head-on with a speeding truck. I regained my senses in a dingy room with the sound of moaning voices, further alarming my traumatic state of mind. The orange light from the twilight sky filtered through the cracks of broken window panes, and I recognized the voices of the victims – my family.
Millions of dreadful thoughts zoomed through my mind as I stood paralyzed, gazing at their limp bodies, drenched in blood.
"They will make it, don't worry," said a man, behind me.
The sun slowly set, engulfing my cheerful, perfect world along with it. The ambulances from Mumbai would reach only in the morning. Trying hard to console my family, I managed to make small talk in an attempt to keep their spirits up. The feelings of despair and helplessness had almost crushed my desire to live on.
Finally, it was dawn. The sirens of the two ambulances broke the silence of the harrowing night.
"Where is the other doctor who was here yesterday?" I asked.
"Ah, there he is," I said, pointing to the stranger as he walked in.
The release papers were signed. My family was securely strapped in the ambulance, and we were ready to go.
I was trying hard to hold back my tears.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." He smiled.
Blaring horns jump started my reflexes, and I quickly gained speed to avoid further abuses from the impatient drivers. At work, after two meetings and a presentation, I finally made time to attend to my growling stomach. The cheery atmosphere of the cafeteria reminded me of my days back in college when I had enrolled to do my post graduation.
The volume of students was outnumbered by working professionals in the field of Advertising and only a handful was fresh out of college, including me. Their practical knowledge versus my notes from the lectures was no match. Burying myself in a pile of reference books daily, I had hoped to get my fundamentals straight. However, the subject was too vast, and I was running out of time. Feeling dejected, I sat staring blankly in space, at one corner of the library.
"You're in advertising?" asked a young man, who sat at the next table.
In twenty minutes, he got me up to speed with the class and listed the books I needed to read. Life was never this exciting. Now my homework was graded the highest, and I became the most popular student.
One evening, as I was reading the notice boards, I saw the reflection of a familiar face on the glass panel. It was that helpful student whom I had met in the library.
"I'm glad everything worked out," he replied.
I was interested in continuing with the conversation when he looked at this watch.
"I'm Ganesh," he said, disappearing into a crowd of students.
My beeping cell phone brought me back to my nutritious lunch of steamed vegetables with tofu. I felt refreshed to tackle my workload again. A memo was forwarded that tomorrow there would be a group of new entrants whom I had to take around and handle their induction into the company.
It was not long ago that I had applied for my first job. Life in the corporate world seemed so rosy from the outside. Aesthetically designed work stations people dressed in immaculate attires and all functioning in team spirit. As a trainee, I enjoyed my induction process and was all set to implement my theoretical skills when the team leader gave me the job of photocopying, faxing documents and filing.
"This is how everyone learns," she said.
Every morning, groomed in perfect, corporate apparel, carrying a briefcase, I marched to a closet called the filing room where I chatted with my new colleague – the fax machine – and shared coffee with the printer.
After a month, I couldn't take it anymore.
Frustrated and clueless, I succumbed to tears. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Quickly, I punched the buttons of the fax machine, pretending to receive a message, and hid my face. I was sure that my tears had smudged the black eye liner, and the dripping mascara must have added an extra edge to create a gothic look against my fair complexion.
"Don't worry, things will work out," said a man, going through the cabinets behind before he left.
I managed to wipe my face and hurried to get a glimpse of the stranger.
"Jerry, who just left the room?" I asked a colleague seated at the nearby cubicle.
Next morning, I was relocated to a cubicle and given to draft my first press release. G-man passed my work area, smiled, and I nodded in silent gratitude.
In times of crisis, a stranger always came along to guide and to lend his support, reassuring that the obstacles will pass. Each time, he called himself- Ganesh.
I have tried hard to analyze these occurrences, but have failed to derive a logical explanation. My instincts tell me that I am surrounded by Lord Ganesh's divine powers. With that strong belief, I have been wearing this pendant for the last twenty-five years. It serves as a reminder that I am never alone and always watched diligently by a higher force.

I have always been drawn to the stories of Ganesh. I had the honor of attending a Pujah Ganesh as part of the wedding ceremonies. Until I learned about Ganesh, I was not aware of his majestic presence or his soothing capabilities. With Ganesh and time, a path that suits the wanderer opens. Ganesh has taught me to see the teachers in my life and to be open to learning.
Thank you for these beautiful tales.
Thank you for your comment. There are infinite tales in the religious scriptures on Lord Ganesh. His presence on earth for his ardent devotees.I agree with your insights and thank you once again for sharing your views on my article.
I facilitate a drumming and chanting group and our opening song is always about invoking the presence and guidance of Lord Ganesh, remover of obstacles. I mentioned your story to the group the other day and I will probably read it to them next time around. Thank you for a great article.
It' such a pleasure reading your experiences with Ganapthi (as I call him). He is so close to my heart and is a real presence in my life too.
But there are times when one feels if one has stopped feeling him in their life, and it is at moments like this that he tells me how close he is. All I have to do is reach out to him.
May Ganesha bless everyone, after all he is the mangala murthy!
Good luck and great happiness to you!
Thank you for your kind wishes. I do agree with you, when you think you are all alone that's when He makes you realize that you are watched by His divine grace, always.


Flash White Pearl mica is a shimmer white that will be a shimmer white in cold and hot process soaps. It is a great color to use when sparkle white is needed. It truly is the color of pearls. It can also be used in place of titanium dioxide, but the result will not be nearly as white as plain Titanium Dioxide. In clear melt and pour this an ideal replacement for TD when a hint of shimmer is desired.
Recommended use rate in cold and hot process soap is 1 tsp. per pound of oils. For melt and pour, the recommended use rate is .5 tsp. per pound of base. To use in bath bombs polysorbate 80 must be used. Use polysorbate at half your oils. For example, if you use three teaspoons of carrier oils, now use 3 tsp of oils and 1.5 tsp. of poly 80. If your bath bombs are too wet, decrease the amount of poly and carriers oil by the same ratio. The addition of polysorbate will prevent staining or a mica powder ring around the tub.

The world's oldest person, Koku Istambulova, will turn 129 on 1st June. Koku Istambulova, from Chechnya, Russia, is the world's oldest person alive. She is 128 years old and is going to turn 129 on 1st June. The claim is made by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and is based on her internal passport which shows her date of birth as June 1, 1889.
Her birth date of June 1, 1889, was apparently confirmed by the Russian government on her passport but it's still hard to believe considering that the oldest person ever documented was 122.
Is Koku Happy With Her Long Life?
Possibly being a record breaker Koku Istambulova, is not too happy with her life. She says she hasn't lived a single happy day in her life.
Ms Istambulova claimed she survived through the Russian Civil War (after the Bolshevik revolution), the Second World War and two Chechen wars. This means she was 55 when World War 2 ended. And 102 when the Soviet Union collapsed a generation ago.
Koku and her family were deported in 1944 after the World War 2 along with the whole Chechen village to Kazakhstan and Siberia by Stalin who accused them of Nazi collaboration.
She said adding: "When in exile – we lived in Siberia too – but in Kazakhstan we felt how the Kazakhs hated us.
Koku's daughter Tamara died five years ago. She was her only surviving daughter who lived until she was 104. Koku does not speak about her family much but she has lost several children, including a son aged 6 years.
She can walk and cook for herself and can take care of her self but her eyesight is getting weak.
She finds her happiness when she is sitting in her favorite place which is outside her house in the summer. But all these claims, including Koku's, are impossible to verify because of the lack of reliable birth or early childhood written records.
The current oldest person in the world is 117-year-old Chiyo Miyako, from Japan. The oldest documented person was Jeanne Calment, from France, who lived 122 years, 164 days, dying in 1997. Although Koku says she is unhappy, other older people in the world are breaking records as a milestone.

Q: Object Is Not JSON Serializable When Using JSON Dumps I am using an async method to return an array of objects and I am getting a "TypeError:  is not JSON serializable" error and I am not sure how to correct it. Here is my code:
async def fetch(session, url):
    async with session.get(url) as response:
        return await response.text

class NewStoriesHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    async def get(self):
        self.set_header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
        response = requests.get(
        "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/newstories.json?print=pretty")
        data = response.json()
        story_list = []
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
           for url in data:
               story_list.append(fetch(session, url))

        print(story_list)
        self.write(json.dumps(story_list, default=json_util.default))
        self.finish()

I tried to return Json back to the method but it was unsuccessful and I not sure what it is expecting back. The loop return an object for each call and appends it to the array.

A: it looks to me like you are adding co-routine objects to the list, rather than the results of the coroutines.
i think you should await each fetch before adding them to the list. I haven't been able to run the code because i'm currently traveling, but you probably also need a strategy to start each task's execution before you await it.

As I may have mentioned, I own a publishing company which specializes in reprinting out of print classics.
I became a businesswoman about 4 years ago. I was a poet and writer before that.
For instance, a few months ago, I realized that we made a mistake which cost us several thousands of pounds over the last 2 years. At least.
Because I have so come to accept that making mistakes is part of being human, part of being limited, is, in fact, the way to high and interesting achievement. In 3 years, I got my publishing business to earn enough that my husband who was a Professor with a Chair in Mathematics, at the top of his pay-band, or whatever they call it, was able to take early retirement this summer. I did that by the willingness to keep the car moving, try things, make mistakes. This particular mistake I mentioned we realized was because I did not take the good advice of a professional, who had repeatedly advised us to take a particular step. I did not take it because of fear. It was an expensive gamble which she had advised. Then we gambled, and it paid off richly. So I just have to forgive myself for not gambling earlier.
My husband Roy is very clever. When he was 17, he won two scholarships. One was to do his senior year of high school in Japan (and learn Japanese!) One was the Girdlers' scholarship for 3 years at Cambridge University, all expenses generously paid. There was ONE scholarship for the brightest schoolboy in New Zealand, where Roy grew up. He decided to win it, and did. After Cambridge, he did a Ph.D at Johns Hopkins, postdocs at Cornell and Stanford and Minnesota, won international prizes, won numerous prestigious grants and prizes.
Not a trajectory of someone who would be easy on himself or anyone else who made mistakes and messed up.
While I am too wide-ranging in my interests to be a scholar, I've generally done well academically. I went to Oxford. I have got several big life decisions right operating on a fuel mix of prayer, intuition and thinking. And so, when I get things wrong, I too am hard on myself. When clever people like Roy or my children get things wrong, I am not pleased.
And so when Roy and I started a business, we were very hard on each other. Roy was particularly hard on me when I got things wrong because of the largish sums of money involved.
Gosh, that idea set me free. Who am I that I shouldn't make mistakes? All human beings are limited. All human being make mistakes! Who am I to think that I am so smart that I should never get things wrong.
How liberating that willingness to get things wrong is. How fast one can steer one's car! Think it out, make a decision, act. If it's wrong, sigh, and drive in the opposite direction. It is easier to steer a moving car than one which never begins its journey.
Why did I write this post now? Because I bought two laptops fairly rapidly last month, one for myself, one for Zoe. Both, according to Roy, were far more expensive than they needed to be.
That is what I am saying to myself these days as I declutter and deal with things I've bought which I haven't needed or used. Who am I to to expect to be so smart that I should never make mistakes? Everyone makes mistakes. I too!
And the willingness to steer your car fast, to make a decision after absorbing a reasonable amount of data rather than an infinite amount of data liberates an enormous amount of time for more fruitful pursuits.
"We must expect to be making mistakes all the time. We must be content to fail repeatedly and to begin again.
The thing you do, when you have made a mistake, is not to give up doing what you were doing and start something altogether new, but to start over again with the thing you began badly and try, for the love of God, to do it well.

Allard van Hoorn
Allard van Hoorn investigates relationships to our environment incorporating the disciplines of architecture, design, music and dance. He visually, acoustically and spatially transcodes our usage and perception of cities and nature in order to question preconceptions and experiences of the spaces we live and work in. Through mapping and the subsequent re-ordering of embedded rituals, rules and routines in buildings and public spaces, he allows for reinterpretation of form and function taking into account the inherent impossibility of complete description of our world by manmade systems.
Allard van Hoorn (Leiden, The Netherlands, 1968) has been shown at biennials in cities including Istanbul, Shenzen and Gwangju. His work has also been shown at the de Appel Arts Centre and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York City; Pinakothek der Moderne, Zurich; the Moore Space, Miami; MoCA and Zendai MoMA, Shanghai; Art Rotterdam; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Gasworks, London; CCCB, Barcelona; Museu de Arte Moderna, Salvador; Museo de la Ciudad de México, the German Architectural Centre, Berlin and Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. He currently collaborates as Outpost with OfficeUS, the official participation of the United States at the Venice Architectural Biennial. He tutors at the Architectural Association in London.

Powers/Abilities: Intelligencia has brilliant powers of deduction and possesses an intellect that probably surpasses our imagination. While physically vulnerable (just a big head) Intelligencia most likely has psionic powers. She can deduct the exact probability of an event taking place, so she must be able to predict almost all possibilities simultaneously. Also, Intelligencia has the entire Skrull army at her command. Basically, she is just reeaaaalllly smart.
(Captain Marvel V#8)- Super-Skrull calls into Intelligencia, who had sent him on a mission to capture Kelly. Intelligencia tells him he can try to subdue her, but he will fail. When hesitating at the chance to kill Kelly, Intelligencia reprimands him.
(Captain Marvel V#9)- Intelligencia forbids Super-Skrull to offer Kelly any position in the Skrull army, after he suggested she could be valuable. Intelligencia is peeved at Super-Skrull for disobeying orders earlier (He takes Kelly to Intelligencia instead of killing her and also shows contempt for Intelligencia).
(Captain Marvel V#10)- Super-Skrull expresses contempt for Intelligencia, for being insecure in her own fortress at Kelly's power. Intelligencia cuts in and orders Kelly and Super-Skrull brought before her. Intelligencia then exchanges words with Kelly, while Captain Marvel, Surfer, and Moondragon fight Skrulls outside. Intelligencia says she is equipped to be immune to her powers and she knew the Super-Skrull would probably betray her. When the heroes demand Kelly back, Intelligencia says that if Kelly goes, the universe will always be in danger. Eventually Kelly goes to another reality where she never got her powers.
...or time is rewritten/reversed, so that she never got her powers on Earth-616. I think she's still on Earth-616--Snood.
��� I'm going to disagree on this. Is she original? No. However, it is very common practice for armies and warring nations to try to duplicate their foes' greatest weapon. The Skrull's had created a cosmic cube, which became the Shaper of Worlds, but they have no ability to control the Shaper, and so they needed something else. Plus, given Peter David's style, the whole thing was likely done tongue-in-cheek. And I loved the story.
��� I'd personally like to know the fate of S'Byll, because she was the last ruler we had seen before this story.
Hey, I loved the story too, Snood. I loved most of the Captain Marvel series. I just didn't like Intelligencia.


LOL...does it matter? it's not like whites are going extinct like the dodo bird.
Don't whites have a right for their countries to remain white, just like other races have a right for their countries to remain populated by their people?
Exactly. What matters to me is not who is the majority or minority but who is productive. Being productive as citizens is what makes this country great not your "class status" as a citizen.
So you don't think that there are general traits within different groups?
You don't believe that countries should be allowed to remain of the racial group that makes them who they are?

Bull****. Pure unadulterated bull****. Your use of terms such as mongrelization and genocide is evidence of your racist mindset, and attempting dressing up your racist beliefs with discredited pseudoscience is akin to David Duke taking off his white hood.
It's "bs"? How do you figure? What in my statement is incorrect? Please, state specifics. I doubt that you can do it.
Invasions and migrations made western Asia what it is racially speaking. This is not pseudo-science as you say.
The United States has, over its entire history, taken in "foreign" looking people and turned them into Americans.
Actually, that's not true. While non-whites were brought here at times to perform certain functions, such as Africans to perform agricultural duties in the form of slavery, or Chinese to work on the railroads, it was never a fluid open policy of allowing them in the country. That's a fact. They were never viewed as Americans.
Even today, people view these "foreign looking people" as different, as they view the majority population as different. This is human nature.
Up until 1965, the U.S. maintained an immigration policy that favored those from Europe. It has only been since 1965 that the floodgates were opened up to the non-European world.
We're a better and stronger country for it.
We are? Hmm, I believe that there have been valid studies that have shown that greater diversity breeds distrust, which leads to less community involvement and greater isolation.
How about higher crime rates. Certainly, crime has arisen as the country becomes more diverse, as Mestizos and blacks are much more prone to crime.
What about the current housing crisis, which was largely brought on by the government pressuring banks to loan to lower income people, many of them minorities, and in which Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae considered secure?
What about lowering performing schools, academically speaking, in which blacks and Mestizos perform at lower levels. Certainly, with this greater diversity, schools are going to suffer. As schools have transitioned from majority white to majority non-white, we've seen some top schools lose their position as a good school. This is all over the U.S.
Where is the strength? Please, show me where this "strength" is?
People with your beliefs 200 years ago would strongly disagree with you that Irish, Italians, and Jews were "white", and your denial of that is denial of historical fact.
Most people did not think that they weren't white, only that they were different whites. Regarding Jews, some are ethnically and racially European, while others have middle eastern traits.
There were some individuals who viewed the Irish and Italians as being off a different race, but this was a rather small number, and those who did so were obviously not intelligent.
I'm non-white, my wife and white, and our daughter is a mongrel by your standards. I suppose I'm contributing to the downfall of "white" civilization, but you know, I don't give a **** about what you racists believe.
Oh, hush. I didn't say anything to you personally. Mongrelization simply means intermixing. It doesn't mean a slovenly slob, much like you probably think.
Based on IQ statistics, however, interracial children do fall in-between both parents on the IQ scales (of different races).
For example, in general, whites have an average IQ of 100, while blacks have an average IQ of 85. This is a scientific fact. Look it up. Now, a white/black interracial child averages a 93 IQ.
I speak the truth, and if you view such as racist, so be it. I could care less. I'm not a sheep, nor will I act as such. I speak with logic, not Marxist, child-like fantasy speech.
God, some people on here are embarassingly racist.
Grow up. Get over yourself.
Oh my goodness, I'm going to wet myself.
Mongrel is a term for dogs.
Phenotype is not everything. They can still pass on the traits in the F2 generation. This is not about what you wish to be true. European-Americans are overwhelmingly Europid but not really more than Europids in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Amerinds have been accepted more than Negrids, which kept them out of the gene pool because of the one-drop-rule.
tr.v. mon·grel·ized, mon·grel·iz·ing, mon·grel·iz·es To make mongrel in race, nature, or character.


More than three decades have passed since the Supreme Court asked the government to frame a Uniform Civil Code so that helpless women suffering from the scourge of divorce could recourse to law. But with successive governments lacking political will, women are still at the receiving end. Such is the case of Shayara Banu, a 35-year-old mother of two whose husband sent the 'talaq-nama' via post. She has approached the Supreme Court which has accepted the petition. So has the time come to do away with personal laws? Should India debate and agree upon a Common Civil Code? What about the lack of political will?

You're walking down the street and a man on the corner you are approaching is acting strangely. Maybe he's oddly dressed, appears disheveled or perhaps homeless. He is muttering to himself, looking up at the sky as if waiting for answers.
Possibly, you avert your gaze to avoid eye contact and mistakenly engage this individual. You might instinctively surmise this person is mentally ill, and could potentially be problematic when engaged.
And perhaps, on a surface level, this is true. NAMI statistics show over a quarter of both the prison and homeless populations in the U.S. are comprised of individuals with a recent history of mental illness. However, any apparent connection between me,ntal dysfunction and socioeconomic hardship should be investigated further. Research contrastingly shows that many common misconceptions borne of negative stereotypes about mental illness, including lack of cognitive capacity and assumptions about people with mental illness being violent, are not as true to reality as the public often thinks.
So how do our socially accepted views affect individuals suffering from mental health conditions, and why does it matter?
Most of us are familiar with the term stigma, or as defined by a quick Google search, "a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person." Significant amounts of mental health research are dedicated to how public stigma operates, however most of us are not familiar with its potential effects on individuals who are actually struggling with mental illness, particularly as a main contributing factor to a symptom known as self- stigma.
Self-stigma is a form of stigma that occurs when an individual with a certain trait/behavior (i.e. bipolar disorder or schizophrenia) believes and internalizes negative public attitudes (i.e. individuals with depression are emotionally weak, therefore I must be emotionally weak.) This internalization is often detrimental to an individual's self-efficacy and can impede recovery during episodes of illness.
Erica James, an Atlanta-based marriage and family therapist, who also works with children and adolescents in foster care, has found internalized stigma can surface as significantly low self-esteem.
Unlike with physical conditions such as diabetes or cancer, individuals with mental illness may view their disorders as a character flaw rather than a common treatable condition. Instead of compartmentalizing their illness as one aspect of themselves, they may believe it to be their complete identity. This can lead to what is academically considered the why try effect, when individuals behave in ways that devalue their sense of worth and abilities, disrupting recovery, and even hindering the long-term pursuit of personal goals.
From a racial standpoint, research indicates African Americans are more prone to experience higher levels of both public and internal stigma than their white counterparts, and can even face what is known as double stigma. Double stigma occurs when someone feels doubly discriminated against because of their membership in two separately stigmatized groups, possibly leading to treatment-resisting behavior for fear of negative identification in more than one social circle.
"I think [prevalent mental health misconceptions in the black community] are shifting a little bit, but it really comes from us depending on our communities and families for help of any kind, [but] sometimes they are just not equipped or knowledgeable enough to help us though certain challenges," James stated.
It may not be possible to completely eradicate symptoms of internalized stigma, however there are positive resources available to individuals, including peer support groups with others dealing with similar mental health concerns.
There is a clear need for increased public awareness about mental health on a societal level. Because public stigma can be a powerful inciting cause behind the internalizing of negative attitudes, we must collectively aim to delegitimize misconceptions through education to improve mental health outcomes.

					Youngstown State University

Round 2 coming Spring 2016

Thanks for coming!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HackYSU?

HackYSU is a hackathon, an event where students come together to Learn, Create, and Network with each other and businesses.

Where and when is HackYSU?

The first HackYSU was April 17th-19th 2015. It lasted Friday night to Sunday afternoon. The next HackYSU should take place about a year from that date and have a similar format.

What do people do at hackathons?

Students will have 36 hours to create anything they want – software, hardware, a business plan, art, a design, anything – in the pursuit of knowledge, glory, and prizes. Hacks will be exhibited science fair style in a showcase at the end of the weekend.

Does it cost anything to participate?

Nope! Not only is HackYSU free, but all your meals during the event are on us thanks to our amazing sponsors. You'll probably leave the event with some awesome free swag too.

Though travel reimbursements were not avaliable last year, we want to be able to reimburse travelers next year!

How do I register?

Any student currently enrolled or was enrolled in the current school year from any upper education institution or high school can register.

We weren't able to host minors last year, but we hope to be able to next year!

Are there prizes?

Yep! Besides first through third place prizes for the best overall hacks we'll also have category prizes thanks to our awesome sponsors. But really, it's not about winning as much as it's about learning, creating, and networking.

Did we mention some of our sponsors are looking for interns?

Do I need to be able to code?

No! Not only is HackYSU not a programming-only event (though there will be a lot of it), it is an educational experience. No matter what your experience, you are welcome here. Everyone is invited to expand their skill set and make something awesome.

We'll have mentors around helping students with their hacks, hardware like Oculus Rifts to borrow and hack on (courtesy of Major League Hacking), and a team building session where you can meet some awesome people who'll either help get you on your feet or compliment your abilities.

What are the rules?

Hackers must abide by Major League Hacking's code of conduct.

Also, teams must consist of 4 or less hackers, and all projects must be created at the hackathon to qualify for prizes. Feel free to plan a bit at home, but it wouldn't be fair if you have a head start!

What should I bring?

Bring your student ID (you'll need it to get in), laptop, chargers, and everything you need to be a decent human being for 36 hours. That includes toiletries and your own sleeping materials.

Have another question?

Email us at contact@hackysu.com  and we'll take care of you.

Analyzing Presidential Campaign Commercials: A Visual Culture Lesson Plan
When I was in grad school for Art Education, I took a class on Visual Culture. I really enjoyed the class and thinking outside of the box when it comes to defining what art is and what should be taught in an art class.
During that semester, there was an amazing exhibit at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas called The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2004 by The Museum of the Moving Image. I was fascinated by the exhibit and thought it was a perfect subject for my semester project. All of these campaign commercials are also online in a virtual exhibit, so this an excellent way to teach students how to decipher propaganda and how images and language can be used to manipulate emotion.
Here is the lesson I created back in grad school in 2005 (edited a bit). This is in full lesson plan format, which I don't usually do (because I HATE WRITING LESSON PLANS! lol), but I had to do it in grad school, so it was mostly done. This was part of a larger unit about "United States Patriotism in Times of War." Maybe I'll put up the other lessons from the unit sometime too. Let me know in the comments if you are interested in the rest.
Grade Level: High School
Time: 9 class periods
Overview of lesson:
Presidential campaign commercials have an impact on the public by not only inspiring votes, but also inspiring patriotism, especially in times of war. Students will discover commonalities and differences in the history of campaign commercials from 1952-2012 by visiting the online exhibit, The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2012, examining and comparing war-themed commercials, and using what they learned to create a storyboard of their own campaign commercial.
Key Concepts:
The President, being the commander and chief of the army and the leader of the country, has the responsibility of uniting the country and inspiring patriotism.
The language, music, and imagery in campaign commercials can be analyzed to uncover manipulative techniques and ways of inspiring patriotism and evoking emotion (pathos).
Essential Questions:
What visual, musical, and verbal messages do presidential campaign commercials project?
How do presidential campaign commercials inspire patriotism?
Students will learn how to view presidential campaign commercials critically to analyze the different elements (words, music, and imagery) used to influence the audience.
Students will learn how presidents used patriotism in their campaign commercials.
Students will learn how political commercials have changed in the past 52 years.
Students will learn about the elements of a storyboard and the process of creating a storyboard.
Performance Objectives:
Students visit the online exhibition, The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2012, and reflect on the history, nature, and techniques of political campaign commercials.
Students will use their reflections to plan and write their own political campaign commercial.
Students will create a storyboard of their political campaign commercial
The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2012
Computer access for each student with internet and video streaming capabilities
1 16"x20" sheet of black mat board per student
11 sheets of 4.25" x 5.5" paper per student
pencils, pen and ink in various colors
Day One: Online Exhibition (Homework or In-Class)
Preparations:
Before giving the assignment, give the students topics to consider when viewing the online exhibition. These topics may include: differences and commonalities of the earliest and the most recent commercials, commonalities in imagery and music, aesthetic quality and artistry of commercials, evoking emotion or pathos, and ways campaign commercials depict the values of the public.
Exhibition Visit and Writing Assignment:
The students will visit the online exhibition, The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2012. Invite students to explore and experience the exhibition on their own. This can be done as homework or in the computer lab at school. Invite students to document their ideas and observation in their notebooks or sketchbooks.
Ask students to write a 1-2 page reflective response based on their museum experience. Encourage them to consider what they enjoyed most and what surprised them.
Day Two: Class Discussion
Engage students in a discussion about the exhibit experience.
Discussion motivators:
How have the commercials changed since 1952?
Which videos did you like best?
What common themes emerged among the commercials?
What recurring imagery did you notice?
How does sound contribute to the commercials? How did the music and the voices sound?
Show Ronald Reagan's commercial Peace from 1984 and discuss the commercial as a class.
Describe the emotional response you felt while viewing this commercial?
What elements of the commercial contributed to that emotional response?
Define and discuss the term, pathos, in regards to the commercial.
What imagery was prevalent in the commercial?
How does the imagery inspire patriotism?
What language does Reagan use in the commercial? Replay.
How does the language inspire patriotism?
Show George W. Bush's commercial Dangerous World from 2000 and discuss.
What emotion does this inspire?
How does Bush evoke fear?
What is the message in this commercial?
How does this commercial differ from Reagan's?
What imagery is similar to Reagan's? What is difference?
Why would both Bush and Reagan include children in their ads?
How does the patriotism projected in this commercial differ than the patriotism inspired in Reagan's?
These questions hopefully will lead to the discussion of using fear and using pride to evoke patriotic feelings.
Show Lyndon B. Johnson's commercial Peace Little Girl (Daisy) from 1964.
Have students quietly reflect on this commercial in writing and then share their thoughts with the class.
Day Three: Exploration
Introduction to Assignment:
The students are required to create a storyboard for their own 45-second political campaign commercial. Students will use the inspiration and ideas generated from viewing various presidential commercials to write a script for a political campaign commercial and draw 9 pen and ink sketches of possible screen shots on 4.25" x 5.5" watercolor paper (8.5" x 11" paper cut into fourths). Each drawing should represent about 5 seconds of hypothetical footage. Elements such as perspective (i.e. close-ups), screen text, and music cues should be considered. Once completed, students will mount the 9 sketches with accompanying text (handwritten on strips of watercolor paper or onto the drawing itself) of any voiceovers or speaking onto a piece of 16" x 20" black mat board with rubber cement.
Explorations:
Invite students to visit the online version of The Living Room Candidate and explore the commercials located in the themed sections of "war" and "fear." The "war" section is located by clicking "issues" on the left of the screen and then clicking "war." The "fear" section can be found by clicking "type of commercial" and subsequently selecting "fear." Allow students time to explore and take notes on commercial elements that may inspire ideas for their assignments.
Day Four: Concept Building
Brainstorming and Drafting:
Students must first create the script or sequence before beginning to create the images. After the writing process is complete, students must have at least one set of thumbnail images before progressing to the watercolor paper.
Days Five-Nine: Studio Production
After the brainstorming and thumbnails have been completed, allow students to experiment with the medium before beginning the official sketches. Demonstrate different techniques of applying ink such as using variations of pen nibs, adding water to colored ink to change the value, and using a paintbrush effectively for the medium. The medium is unforgiving so invite students to sketch the image onto the paper with pencil before applying the ink.
Vocabulary:
Patriotism: "love of country, devotion to the welfare of one's country, the passion which inspires one to serve one's country." (http://dictionary.com)
Pathos: "a style that has the power to evoke feelings" (http://dictionary.com)
Storyboard: "A panel or series of panels of rough sketches outlining the scene sequence and major changes of action or plot in a production to be shot on film or video." (http://dictionary.com)
Students will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
Participation: attentiveness and participation during class discussions and online exhibition visit
Writing Activity: completion of essay as assigned, evidence of engagement and thoughtfulness in the viewing of the commercials
Storyboard: completion of thumbnail sketches and planning, craftsmanship in sketches and presentation, incorporation and understanding of class discussion into the final product, student commercial designed to invoke emotional response as well as has a strong and clear statement
Interdisciplinary Connections and Extensions:
Connections to Social Studies, Theatre, Language Arts, and Government are included in this lesson.

New FO head
March 4, 1999, 08:00 CET
Grethe K Moen (38) has been appointed senior vice president for Statoil's Industry & Trading business area (FO).
She replaces Leidulf Ramstad (52), who has decided for personal reasons not to accept the offer of this post. He will remain in his former position as head of Statoil's refinery operations.
A graduate engineer, Ms Moen joined Statoil in 1982 and has worked as a process engineer, as a market analyst and sales negotiator in the gas area, and as a licence manager.
She was appointed operations vice president for Veslefrikk in the North Sea in 1994, and moved to the corresponding post for the Sleipner fields in the following year.
