Continuing your education is a great way to hone your career skills, work towards a degree, or just expand your knowledge. And with the vast number of online schools and distance learning opportunities, continuing your education is more convenient than ever before. However, heading back to school can be a frightening prospect for some people. Not only does school require tough schedule adjustments, but it can also be quite expensive. Yet, there are ways to manage the financial cost of heading back to school: there is now a variety of financial aid plans designed specifically for those who intend to further their education.
If you have been out of the school world for a while, you may be unfamiliar with this term. Financial aid refers to any amount of money that can be used to pay for school tuition or related expenses (such as books, supplies, and living expenses). Financial aid is available in a variety of forms and may cover the complete cost of your school experience, or partial costs related to your education. Financial aid can come from a variety of different sources and is usually given out based on a set of criteria.
A few types of financial aid however, do not require you to meet any particular criteria.
Grants are a gift of money given to students in order to pay for their school-related expenses. Grants are usually given out based on financial need or merit, and do not need to be repaid unless you withdraw from school for some reason. Federal, state, and university institutions should have grants available to their students.
Loans are a type of financial aid that is borrowed from a specific institution to pay off school expenses. Once you leave school, your student loans must be repaid with interest. Federal, state, and private institutions offer loans, which may be distributed based upon need.
Scholarships are also a gift of money to help pay off tuition expenses. A scholarship is often based on academic ability, special talents, or personal merit. What makes scholarships so great is that they do not need to be repaid. Scholarships are available from private institutions, various online colleges and universities, and a number of charitable organizations.
Work-study programs are available from the federal government to help you pay off part of your tuition expenses. These programs provide you with a job to work at while you are studying. The money that you make at this job is then used to help pay off your student loan. Work-study opportunities are usually awarded based on financial need.
The federal government has a number of large programs designed to provide students with financial aid. The federal government gives out grants, loans, and work-study opportunities to thousands of students every year. Loans are often given out at very low interest rates, and many are tax deductible. In order to receive federally funded financial aid, such as government grants, you must first apply by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This can be done in person or online. Approval is usually based on financial need or academic achievement.
Individual state governments offer a wide range of grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. As with the federal government, financial aid is usually distributed based on financial need or academic merit. In order to receive state aid, you must apply in writing to your state's funding organization.
Numerous online colleges and universities now offer scholarships and grants to students based on academic potential or achievement. All you need to do is contact your school's Financial Aid office for an application. Because many traditional schools offer online courses, the scholarships and grants available to traditional students may also be available to online students.
Thousands of scholarships are given out every year by private organizations, including charities, clubs, and community outreach centers. Call around to these organizations to see if you can find out more information about any financial aid they may offer. Private banks are also an option when it comes to taking out a student loan. However, personal loans tend to be offered at higher interest rates than those offered by the federal government.
If you have been unsuccessful in securing government or private financial aid, there are a few other options that you may want to pursue.
Ask Your Employer: Many employers will consider paying for courses that are related to your work responsibilities. So, if you are taking a course to upgrade your skills or if you are planning on pursuing a related degree, ask your employer about financial aid.
Enroll in a Contest: There are thousands of contests held every year throughout the United States in which scholarships are the grand prize. Many of these scholarships involve essay or poetry writing, however contests based on other skills also exist. Be sure to find a contest held by a reputable organization though. They should provide you with their telephone number and address, along with all contest details, ahead of time. And if they ask you for an application or "publishing" fee, the contest probably isn't legitimate.
Continue to Work: If you had considered taking time off of work to go back to school, consider working part-time or from home to help pay the bills. Many students find that working part-time actually helps them to stay on task and perform better in school.

Green King Pub, beer was actually very good, we were in the smaller bar, cosy & friendly.
Had lunch there today - the food was great, the service lovely and welcoming, and think this is (following the change in ownership of the Green Dragon) the best place to eat in Haddenham. Go and give it a try.
" Thank you so much for laying on such a splendid event for the Aircrew Association on Thurs 14 July. It was a really great effort all around from the friendliness of all the staff, the splendid menu and the speed with which you managed to get all the food out at the correct temperature. A truly superb team effort!"
Well done to the new landlords and all the best for the future, we certainly will be back.
This pub was much improved by the new landlord, . But he unfortunately he runs another pub in Chinnor, so has installed a manager.
Visited twice this August for Sunday lunch.
First time the Beef was so tough as to be inedible, even with a steak knife - but for some reason we still paid!
Second time we visited, we were assured that the beef was good, but a sparse plate full came smothered in burnt gravy. -so was returned.
The nice young barmaid offered to by us a drink out of her own money (obviously declined) - The manager just asked if we would we like to order something else? NO CHANCE! I�M NOT GIVING THIS PUB ANY MORE MONEY!
Apparently they lost their chef a month ago, replaced by the manager�s wife. The �ready meals� still seem ok. but she�s clearly not capable of a Sunday lunch!

25 Feb Timeless Techniques
Written by	Alison Bender Posted at 22:46h in Arts, Mountain Home Awards 2014 0 Comments
Barclay Moore has two passions in life: woodworking and skiing.
An East Coast transplant, born and raised in central New York, Moore began tinkering with wood tools at ten, earned a degree in engineering from Cornell in 1976 and spent the next two winters as a ski coach in Hunter, New York, while working odd jobs during the summer. Then he heard of a woodworker ("a very talented gentleman," says Moore) looking for an apprentice.
Moore spent the next two years "learning, building and trying." However, the apprenticeship didn't pay, so he left after running out of money and returned to the ski industry fulltime.
A few years later, a cross-country trip one summer introduced Moore to the Tahoe area. He noted the ski resorts and the big, rich houses and thought of starting a business in the area. Plus, he says, "There was no other place in the country that was nicer."
In 1986, he moved to Homewood to start his woodworking career, thinking even if the business went bust, at least he'd enjoy good snow in the meantime. He found a cheap apartment with rental space underneath to use as a woodshop. Twenty-seven years later, he's still in the same apartment, his woodcarving tools and forges in the same under-apartment spot.
"My shop is so small that I should be making violins," he says. "Somehow, 12-foot dining tables are more the norm."
While Moore's shop turns out relatively few pieces—somewhere between 10 and 12 annually—he produces incredibly in-depth and creative work. "Some take two months, some take two weeks," he says.
Moore explains his process this way: "Say you want an end table," he says. He visits the house and sees where the piece will go. "I look at furnishings, what you like, what you don't like. I check out the location and talk about the function." With these thoughts in mind, Moore sketches up two or three versions of the end table and emails them to the client. "You say you like B, or maybe you like this part of A, this part of C, so we tweak it." He draws up a new sketch. "Then I just wing it."
A piece began in that way a few years ago. "I got a phone call, this woman named Susan called me and asked if I could come over," says Moore. Though leaning on crutches and recovering from surgery, he found the address and hobbled up to the door, his portfolio under his arm. He knocked on the door, which opened into a small foyer and a second entry door. He could see the shape of a person open one door, then, noticing the crutches, step behind the main door so Moore would have room to get in.
"I got one step in the door and this hand came out and I heard a very distinctive voice say, 'Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy.'"
Moore ultimately ended up making four or five pieces for the Nimoys, though he stood his ground on that first project. "He wanted a built-in cabinet, maybe eight feet," says Moore. "I said, 'Mr. Nimoy, if I build this, how long do you expect to live in this house?'" Moore explained that a built-in meant furniture for the house, not for the client. He couldn't hand the piece down to grandchildren. Nimoy thought about it for a moment and said, "Oh. Can you do it freestanding?"
Though Moore has professional training in woodworking, he learned everything else on his own. He began blacksmithing when he wanted to add custom steel door handles for a client's cabinet. He figured out how to stain glass and wire lighting at a young age. "If you like to take things apart, you learn how they work and how to put them together," he explains. "That's how you learn: by trial and error."
With this attitude, over the years, Moore added new materials and techniques to his work. "Natural materials, forged iron and fitted wood go well together, I think," he says. "Adding copper or forged hardware gives it some quality feeling."
Moore adds other mediums to his custom pieces to his well. While working on pieces for the Beck home in Martis Camp (see Home Awards, page 98) he took the family's love of motorcycles and added Harley part details to the bar stools. Black walnut end tables were adorned with lumber saw blades. He's created a coat and pant valet that uses Lake Tahoe rocks for its feet. He inlays many of his works with stone, copper or hand-forged details. His light fixtures—from hanging pool table lights to floor lamps—utilize a mixture of glass and metals. "I try to learn something on each project," he says.
Moore employs millennia-old techniques to create custom works: mortise and tenon joints, dovetails, pegged and wedged joints. These methods, which date back to the time of Stonehenge, take considerable time and effort, but result in strong, functional and timeless pieces.
The care and time Moore puts into his work have earned him an impressive reputation. In the nearly three decades since going out on his own, the artisan has never gone without work. "There is always a backlog," he says of the waitlist, currently about six to eight months.
"A week before Thanksgiving, my neighbor wanted me to build him a coffee table," says Moore. "He asked if it could be done before Christmas. I said 'Undoubtedly. Christmas 2014.'"
On the rare occasion Moore is not at work on a piece, you'll probably find him on the slopes instructing, as he's done for the past 40 years. "That is about the only thing that gets me out of the shop," he says. "I teach weekends at Squaw/Alpine and make sawdust every other minute."
You won't find Moore's works in a gallery. While he used to enter his work in juried art shows and exhibitions, he quickly learned the negligible financial return involved. "I charge what I think is appropriate," says Moore. "The gallery charges double, which makes the piece expensive. That's fine when it's an oil painting by Rembrandt, but when you make functional art, there's no extra premium because it's a Barclay Moore."
Now, Moore exclusively takes on commission work. "It's not as much fun as spec work where I can do anything with no outside influence, but art is hard to sell," he says. His favorite words? When a client says, 'Do what you want.' "Then I go a bit wild," he says. "But talking with the family, seeing their house, their likes, gives me a springboard to the design process.
"Functional art—furniture—is made for the person," he continues. "It's designed for the client, so it fits perfectly. This is furniture that is for your grandchildren, that will last at least 100 years. That seems to be my career goal: making nice things for nice people."
To learn more about Barclay Moore, visit www.barclaymoore.com or call (530) 525-7608.
Reno resident Alison Bender learned that, even if you write a nice article about him, you still can't get bumped to the top of Barclay Moore's wait list.

Purity – Jonathan Franzen
January 13, 2016 Books, Technology, TelevisionTom
Purity, by Jonathan Franzen
I shan't write a review outlining the plotlines or anything like that. Rather, here are a few thoughts that came to me while reading and digesting Jonathan Franzen's latest novel.
– This feels like it was written with television in mind. Maybe writing the doomed HBO adaptation of The Corrections put him off but I felt like Franzen's multi-threaded style has evolved to feel like a really good TV show. Varied locations, time taken to develop a character who then disappears, only to resurface, and a combination of the highly visual and highly visceral. Franzen said that The Corrections had a 'universe' behind it with more characters and stories which he effectively edited out of the novel. I wonder if he didn't consciously include more of these in Purity.
– The Corrections and Freedom felt like attempts to describe America and the world at specific historical moments. Purity feels no different in this respect. While it continues in Franzen's now traditional way to analyse family life (most specifically a Larkinesque approach to what parents do to their kids), Purity also deals with the information revolution: the Internet. Franzen has been named a Luddite by many fierce defenders of the Internet for comments he has made over the years about things like how a serious writer would never write a novel on a computer connected to the Internet. These defenders get really upset by anyone criticising their revolution. In Purity, Franzen takes some time to explain his position and his argument that the 'revolution' of the internet – insofar as it applies to liberty – is as false as the 'revolution' of the German Democratic Republic, but just as totalitarian. His observation that Google, Facebook and Twitter are often hailed for defending 'freedom' principles while the NSA – which really is tasked with protecting the American system – is universally loathed, is provocative. And taking some time off from such things over New Year, it is difficult to point to any true value that social media brings to an individual's life, outside of ego boosts.
– The idea of the Great American Novel is, in itself, a sort of Moby Dick (hurr hurr) for writers like Franzen. I don't think he's trying to deliver that with Purity, but I do appreciate that if he has come close, it's with a Spanish culebron packed with German characters.
– Purity's closing message fits with a popular analysis of inter-generational strife in the post-war half century west. Our parents' generation have fucked everything up. And they had everything. Franzen adds to this a vital component of hope – he seems to trust the 'millennials' far more than many authors in his position do.
– I liked Pip as a lead character.
– I found Purity to be the funniest Franzen to date. Really laugh out loud funny at times.
– For some reason, I split my reading of the book between a visit to Berlin (which felt amazingly well-timed, seeing as I could now imagine the Frankfurter Allee and Friedrichshain while reading about them, and a trip to the Philippines (which is only mentioned once, and briefly, in the novel).
– In all, an enjoyable read.
Larry, crate training and the Genius of Dogs
May 5, 2014 Books, Dogs, HomeTom
It seems like the goddess of spring had a lot planned for me this year. I'm no longer working where I used to work but instead have quite a lot of time on my hands. While looking into master's courses at the local university, I've also been reading quite a bit about canine behaviour and intelligence. It's a fascinating subject, but I'm probably over-fascinated because of Larry. He's a Spanish Water Dog and he moved in with us around a week ago aged 8 weeks. Here he is with a toy I got him the other day:
While I grew up with a dog (Jack) and my mum has two dogs (Rosie and Skippy), I've never actually trained a puppy. It's a big responsibility because I want Larry to be well behaved at home and outside, and a great walking partner. So before he arrived, I started to seek out advice and that's when I stumbled upon crate training.
Crate training seems to be the big trend in the USA at the moment, and it's popular in England too. Many of the kennel clubs and dog websites recommend it as a 'must do' element of training a new puppy. The amazing thing about it is that crate training really consists of keeping your puppy locked up in a small cage for hours on end and 'rewarding' it with moments of freedom.
I'm really quite shocked by how popular crating seems to be. As with many other barbaric ways that humans treat animals, its adherents are viciously defensive of the technique. Which reminds me of Louis CK's story about pony punching which ends with the delicious line: "People who don't punch their ponies in the face make me sick".
In my studies, I've been re-reading parts of In Defence of Dogs and I've stumbled upon The Genius of Dogs – and both make for good reading even for a non dog-owner. The latter's updated theories about the process of how wolves became domesticated are particularly interesting.
Spring is as good a moment for changes as any other and dedicating time to reading, training a dog and considering my academic options seems like a good investment.
Review: The Map and the Territory by Michel Houellebecq
August 26, 2012 BookshouellebecqTom
I spotted The Map and the Territory in FNAC Barcelona a day before going on vacation. I suddenly remembered other Houellebecq novels I've enjoyed on holiday, such as Atomised and Platform and despite the French entertainment store's relatively high prices for books printed in English, I immediately added it to my basket, along with a book by David Lodge and Steinbeck's East of Eden.
FNAC's entire pricing structure seems to be totally at odds with its original mission, that of a sort of cooperative capable of bringing literature to Paris's working classes at affordable prices. Of course, the original project became a public limited company in 1980, which was probably the beginning of the end for any ethical beliefs its founders may have attempted to imbue the firm with. As soon as you get shareholders involved, it seems, your values mean very little.
I started to read the novel as soon as my vacation began, which is to say as soon as the Balearia ferry Martín i Soler left the dock at Barcelona's 'old port'. I ensured that I had a can of Voll Damm lager and a packet of Ducados cigarettes close at hand. I always find that smoking Ducados cigarettes helps me enjoy the act of reading a little more and despite the obvious health risks, I take particular pleasure in the ritual of smoking and reading, reading and smoking. Besides, I like the blue and white of the Ducados packet, and the green of the Voll Damm can especially when placed on a white ferry table, and especially when viewed from behind my imitation-tortoiseshell foldable Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.
What makes Houellebecq's book particularly engaging is its humour. This starts with a withering, albeit apparently love-rooted, mockery of the art world and the Paris scene in particular. But it is when the author introduces himself as a character in the book that things get really funny.
What I prefer, now, is the end of December; night falls at four o'clock. Then I can put on my pajamas, take some sleeping pills, and go to bed with a bottle of wine and a book. That's how I've been living for years. The sun rises at nine; well, with the time it takes to wash and have some coffee, it's almost midday, so there are four hours left for me to hold out, and most of the time I manage without too much pain. But in spring it's unbearable. The sunsets are endless and magnificent, it's like some kind of fucking opera, there are constantly new colors, new flashes of light. I once tried to stay here the whole spring and summer and I thought I would die. Every evening, I was on the brink of suicide, with this night that never fell.
– says Houellebecq's character after proposing dinner at 6:30 pm in a chain pub. He goes on to talk about how he spends the rest of his time in Thailand, enjoying the brothels.
There's also a quote that I can't currently find where the painter, Jed, discusses with his father the qualities of Houellebecq's analysis. It's about the funniest thing I've ever read.

Going off-grid – a necessity or a self-imposed exile?
July 18, 2012 Books, TravelTom
Vacation time approaches.
This year, I've made the decision not to take the various items of personal computing technology that I normally use multiple times every day. No iPad, no MacBook Air, no movie library, ebooks, digital magazines, Ara subscription, Seinfeld episodes…* and my phone will be switched off except when I call my parents on my birthday. Real books? Yes. MP3 player? Yes. But that's it. The aim is to achieve about 3 weeks of non-connectivity, what some people call going off-grid. Why? Because I spend so much time every day looking at and interacting with a screen of some sort that I really feel like it'll benefit me to go all early 90s on my brain for a while.
Part of me feels a definite need for disconnection: sometimes I'm not sure I can take another day of reading asinine comments on Cif about how if the Spanish had worked a little harder, they wouldn't be in crisis currently. I lack the self-discipline to disconnect on ordinary days and I do feel that I should take advantage of the time away to just not worry about that stuff so much.
But is that true or am I just imposing a sort of analog fast on myself for no reason other than I think it makes me feel clever? And would that be such a bad thing anyway? And wouldn't I probably do my body and brain more good by simply giving up wine for three weeks (which isn't going to happen… not on vaycay anyhow)?
Mention disconnecting for a few days at work and generally you get a knowing "Oh that sounds so amazing we really do spend all our time in front of computers, right?" sort of response. But one of my colleagues, tech blogger Elena, simply shrugged and asked me why? Why bother?
I read an essay (or rather, book review) a few months back that talked about the way our brains are physically changing thanks to the internet. That's not as grave a thing as it sounds: our brains physically change thanks to all sorts of stimuli and systems we subject them to. But given that we, you and I, represent probably the last generations for a long time who'll have spent at least some time growing up without ubiquitous computers, I think it's interesting that I can even consider see-sawing back into my early internet-free headspace. I guess my little sisters wouldn't understand the point. Elena doesn't, so clearly her brain is younger and more advanced than mine. But I do feel there's something to be said for at least experimenting in changing one's habits from time to time. I think I'm the kind of person who can only do so radically.
I'm no luddite. I adore technology and my career is based on understanding, using and thinking about it all the time. So I don't agree with Jonathan Franzen when he says that Twitter is stupid. I like Jonathan Franzen's writing… and I do think that great writers have an important secondary role as geist critics. But I also love Twitter and blogs and the internet. That said, perhaps I actually am just a secret traditionalist trapped in the body of an information technologist? Perhaps when I warn colleagues not to get too nostalgic, I'm less worried about them confusing our readers and more worried that I'll slip up and start writing about how great the old days were. Maybe I secretly yearn for a world without the internet? Maybe I really just think that I'm being way cleverer than you?
Is going off-grid then a sort of cultish fast that I'm just telling myself I should go through? Will it really benefit me to revert to pen and paper for the notes I'll have to write, and just hard copies for the research I plan to start while in Menorca? Is self-imposed exile necessarily such a bad thing? You see, I already have too many questions to try and answer, and the internet won't help with that.
I'm going to give it a try. If anything, maybe going off-grid for three weeks will help me focus and remember how to write in a way that doesn't produce a jumbled mess like this blog post.
The apartment we've rented has a TV, anyway.
*Burglars: I will be depositing all said computer equipment in a safe place. So don't even think about it.
How I resolve to live in 2012
January 2, 2012 Books, Food, Music, TravelTom
New Year resolutions are generally just a list of regrets from the year before: "actually quit smoking", "lose weight", "find a man". A litany of past failures presented as optimistic hurdles that will ruin the year to come. Here's my list of non-regret-fuelled resolutions for 2012.
Learn Jazz. I've been listening to jazz for years and feel like I need to spend some quality time this year learning its history and how it works so that I can better enjoy it in years to come.
Do poetry. I used to love reading and writing poetry and realised recently that it had been out of my life for a decade or more. I should fix that.
No smoking indoors. While I haven't yet smoked a cigarette this year, I now pledge not to do so in our flat. I will smoke in bars if Rajoy leaglises it, though.
Read at least one book in Catalan and one in Castilian too. 2012 marks 10 years since I moved to Barcelona. I ought to progress beyond shoddy newspapers.
Find new living quarters in Gràcia (or even Poblenou); swim regularly; eat less meat; visit Paris and Lisbon… (these items are perhaps the regret-laced resolutions I warned of).
Have a fun, safe and happy 2012.
How to Explore Like a Real Victorian Adventurer
October 26, 2011 Books, Travelarabia, orientalism, the believer, thesigerTom
From this month's The Believer, "HOW TO EXPLORE LIKE A REAL VICTORIAN ADVENTURER"
Victorian adventurers rarely took a step into the wild without hauling a small library of how-to-explore books with them. Among the volumes Burton carried into East Africa was a heavily annotated copy of Francis Galton's The Art of Travel: or, Shifts and Contrivances Available in Wild Countries. Originally conceived as a handbook for explorers, and sponsored by En-gland's Royal Geographical Society, the book was required reading for any self-respecting Victorian traveler. Before rolling up his sleeves and getting down to the hard business of exploring, he could turn to page 134 to learn the best way to do exactly that:
When you have occasion to tuck up your shirt-sleeves, recollect that the way of doing so is, not to begin by turning the cuffs inside-out, but outside-in—the sleeves must be rolled up inwards, towards the arm, and not the reverse way. In the one case, the sleeves will remain tucked up for hours without being touched; in the other, they become loose every five minutes.
The amiably neurotic Galton left nothing to chance. His index is studded with gems like "bones as fuel" and "savages, management of." If Burton couldn't find the advice he was looking for in Galton, he could always consult one of the other books in his trunk that were written with explorers in mind.
I'm really into this stuff at the moment. As Trevor at Kalebeul has pointed out a million times, there is a ton of material like this to read over at Google Books.
See also: this Salon review of Wilfred Thesiger's 'Arabian Sands' which is on my reading list RIGHT NOW. I'll write more about exploration and travel soon.
Osama bin Laden and the power of nightmares
May 2, 2011 BooksAdam Curtis, America, islamism, Osama bin Laden, September 11 attacks, The Power of Nightmares, Tim Lister, Tora Bora, War in AfghanistanTom
A couple of days ago, I read what in retrospect was a fortuitously timed article on CNN.com. After detailing Osama bin Laden's escape from Tora Bora, Tim Lister ended by noting that OBL probably wasn't hiding in the 'tribal' area on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border at all. He reckoned that the fugitive might be holed-up in the wilds of Kunar, a remote zone that includes places where "no man has set foot". Lister was, as we know today, only half right. Osama bin Laden was actually hiding near Islamabad in what seems to have been relative comfort. He was shot dead last night by US special forces.
So the era of bin Laden at #1 on the FBI's most wanted list (he was already there when the September 11th 2001 attacks happened), is over. I can't help but feel that it makes little difference now. Because America has already accepted mortal head wounds as 'justice', permanent internment camps as 'security', and permanent war as normality.
Adam Curtis's film "The Power of Nightmares" dealt with the twin forces of militant Islamism and neo-conservatism that ended up shaping much of the current geopolitical landscape. Together (and they must always be taken together, for they needed each other desperately), they succeeded in causing probably over a million deaths, most of which occurred in the middle-east. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend that you try to get hold of a copy. UPDATE: As Erik points out in the comments below, the film is available to watch or download for free at the Internet Archive.
If all this is making you nostalgic for the days of "Get this!" Iberian Notes, check out this online novel which features a familiar-sounding character. It's eerie.
More national policy soon. Until then, sleep well: they haven't invented their new nightmare yet.
Review: Barcelona – City Of Crime by Larry Kovaks
March 14, 2010 BooksTom
Barcelona has something of a reputation when it comes to crime. Which is what you'd expect from any Mediterranean city packed to the rafters with tourists, sailors, hookers and grifters. It's not exactly a dangerous place (Barcelona has a very low homicide rate) but plenty of bags get stolen and plenty of people get gypped. And that's exactly why this city needs someone like Larry Kovaks whose latest (and first) book, City Of Crime, tells the story of one man's fight against the ne'er-do-wells and miscreants ('gypmeisters') of the Ciutat Vella.
Consisting of a series of stories set in Barcelona's old quarter, City Of Crime introduces the reader to the scams, tricks and mischief that take place right under any visitor's nose. From illicit Chinese brothels (one has recently opened here in Cerdanyola, so the flyposted adverts say) to villainous dwarves, Kovaks lays bare the criminal heart of the city as well as its sordid underbelly, all in the gravelly voice of an American b-movie detective.
Kovaks, both the author and the star of the book (though I suspect that editor Andrew Minh deserves some praise for his work on the text), is an impressive beast of a man. His girth is only outsized by his quick wit (for the most part) and possibly his disgust with the bad boys and girls of Barcelona's underworld. Fuelled by Ducado cigarettes, Voll Damm beer and Mascaró brandy, Kovaks fearlessly confronts the Tracksuit Mafia through the cold, piss-streaked streets of the Raval, like an 18-stone angel.
Much of the material in City Of Crime has been published on the web, both at Kovaks's own website and in the pages of The New Entertainer. However, that shouldn't deter readers from buying the printed edition which is attractively bound and features a brand new installment, The Danger Of The Perfect Brunette. My only criticism of the book would be that some of the earlier stories are somewhat short: this is a character who really comes into his own in the longer episodes.
A joy for residents of the Catalan capital and a forewarning for visitors, City Of Crime left me hungry for more. We can only hope that Kovaks, wherever he may be, gives us more of the goods in future editions.

Things I like: O alienista (The Psychiatrist)
July 4, 2008 BooksAmazon, australia, author, famous physician, Fremantle, Itaguaí, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, Latin America, Love In The Time of Cholera, Maria Machado de Assis, physician, Psychiatrist, salesman, Simão Bacamarte, Thomas Colchie, Western Australia, writer and journalistTom
About eight years ago, I lived in Fremantle, Western Australia. I had a great time there, working as a door-to-door salesman (more on this in the future), getting into scrapes, going clubbing and listening to Royal trux and the Flaming Lips. I also indulged my habit of wondering around second-hand bookshops looking for new, interesting books that I thought I'd enjoy.
One such book was a collection of Latin American short stories edited by Thomas Colchie (it's still available second-hand from Amazon or you could spend a pleasant afternoon in an actual shop, looking for it). The anthology is packed with moving and amusing stories by writers from all over Latin America, translated into English. At the time, I knew nothing about Latin American authors (still don't, really), except that I had enjoyed the dreamy romance and masculine mendacity of Love In The Time of Cholera.
I devoured the collection and have read it several times since. But one story I always come back to, and must have read nine or ten times now is The Psychiatrist (O alienista) by the famed Brazilian author Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. First published in 1882, The Psychiatrist tells the story of one Dr. Simão Bacamarte, a famous physician who decides to start studying psychiatry. He constructs a mental hospital in the town of Itaguaí and begins the process of committing those who appear to be mentally ill according to his theories.
The story is an obvious metaphor for the abuse of science, power and authority on the part of Bacamarte but it's also a stinging (and hilarious) indictment of bureaucracy, populism, demagoguery and selfishness. Another fascinating aspect of the story is that even though it was written in the 1880's, if not before, it seems to gently foreshadow much of the madness that was coming with the century ahead.
In turn funny and thought-provoking, O alienista is also helped along by the very modern direct-narrative form employed by its author. Machado de Assis had a very interesting background as he was apparently the son of a mulatto housepainter and a Portuguese washerwoman, not an upbringing which one would expect to produce a famous writer and journalist (at least, not in the 19th century). His writing is clear, simple, witty and absorbing and The Psychiatrist almost feels like it might have been written in 1952.
If you've not been lucky enough to enjoy this fine piece of literature, I cannot recommend it strongly enough. It's almost certainly available in numerous anthologies and if you find a copy of Colchie's, it'll be accompanied by a fine selection of great Latin American writing.
Update: Apparently, you can still buy the anthology I have, published under a different title.

Buchanan, 50, has been the cop reporter for The Miami Herald for the last 17 years. Mostly, she does murders. Her crime reporting won her a Pulitzer Prize in 1986, and now she's written a book about what it's been like to cover some of the nation's strangest crimes. The Corpse Had a Familiar Face is due out this fall from Random House, and Edna (everyone in Miami calls her by her first name) says it's "the story behind the story. . . .

The book is attracting attention in some odd quarters, given its subject. Glamour magazine will excerpt it; Disney will turn it into a movie, the script being written by the same woman who wrote Desperately Seeking Susan.

Let's Make the Parliamentary Labour Party Accountable to Conference
by CLPD	| published on 12.09.21	in Labour Party Conference 2021
This year, in the run up to Labour Party conference, the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy is supporting a rule change to make the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) accountable to Labour Party Conference.
If adopted, this rule change would require the PLP to report directly to the conference, including on MPs' discipline, with the conference able to confirm or reject disciplinary decisions that are of concern to delegates.
There is currently a gaping hole in the Labour Party rule book in that the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) is not accountable to Annual Conference. The work carried out by the PLP to advance or implement Labour Party policy and discipline within the PLP are not reported to the conference, nor do delegates have a say on disciplinary decisions they believe are of concern. The NEC and NPF have to account to the Party's sovereign body, but not the PLP. This needs to be rectified at this year's Conference.
CLPD is urging CLPs to submit this urgent rule change to this year's annual conference of our Party. Each CLP may submit one rule change and the deadline to do so is 12 noon, Friday 11th June.
Given the tight deadline for submitting rule changes to this year's Annual Conference (11th June), CLP officers may need to arrange different meeting dates than usual to ensure the appropriate CLP meetings can consider the proposed rule change.
Below is the suggested rule change for CLPs to consider. You can download a pdf version of the rule change here and a Microsoft word version here. You can also download both versions at the bottom of this page.
Campaign for Labour Party Democracy – Suggested Rule Change – 2021
The PLP should be fully accountable to Labour Party Conference
At Labour Party Rule Book 2020 Chapter 3 Party Conference, Clause III. Procedural rules for Party Conference, 2. Conference rule 2 – Agenda
Insert at 3.III.2.2 new sub-clause B as follows and reorder subsequent sub clauses:
(i) The NEC shall present to conference the report of the PLP, which shall include: a summary of its activity during the previous year, including its work to advance or implement the Labour Party's policy or programme and an addendum by the Chief Whip detailing any, or all, disciplinary action taken, or ongoing, in relation to any MPs who were elected to Parliament as Labour MPs. This report shall be circulated to all affiliated organisations and CLPs by a date to be determined by the NEC, and not later than 14 days prior to Party conference opening day. Any proposal to review any disciplinary action regarding an MP, supported by not fewer than 30 delegates, and put to conference in advance, or from the floor, shall receive priority consideration and shall be determined by a card vote. Conference shall confirm, or shall void, any decision taken to suspend, or expel, from the PLP, any MP elected to Parliament as a Labour MP. The decision of conference in determining these matters, as it sees fit, shall be final.
(ii) This sub-clause 3.III.2.2 B (ii), conferring on Conference powers set out in sub-clause 3.III.2.2 B (i) above, shall automatically expire at the close of Annual Conference 2021. At the 2021 Annual Conference an item shall be added to the agenda under which the PLP will report to the conference, its activity during the previous year, including an addendum by the Chief Whip detailing any, or all, disciplinary action taken, or ongoing, in relation to any MPs who were elected to Parliament as Labour MPs. Any proposal to review any disciplinary action regarding an MP, supported by not fewer than 30 delegates, and put to conference in advance, or from the floor, shall receive priority consideration and shall be determined by a card vote. Conference shall confirm, or shall void, any decision taken to suspend, or expel, from the PLP, any MP elected to Parliament as a Labour MP. The decision of conference in determining these matters, as it sees fit, shall be final.
Supporting Argument
Currently there is no requirement (in Labour's rule book) that the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) be accountable to Annual Conference. Both the NEC and the NPF are accountable through their report to Conference, as required by the rule book.
However, the PLP is not accountable to Conference and currently the rule book does not require it to be. Conference receives no written report detailing the work that the PLP has been carrying out. There is no account made to Conference, for it to consider, setting out any PLP disciplinary action taken against Labour MPs. Neither the NEC Report nor Leader's Speech detail such matters, nor provide an opportunity for Conference to make its view clear on matters it may wish to make a decision on.
This absence of PLP accountability is a very large flaw in the Party's internal democracy, that needs to be urgently corrected, preferably this year (2021).
If this rule change is agreed, in future years Conference delegates will receive a written PLP report and will be able to discuss it. The report will include a Chief Whip's report detailing any disciplinary decisions that have been taken and Conference will be able to confirm or reject any such decisions if it wishes to.
As this change to the rules is long overdue the new rule, if agreed, will start to be implemented from this year. 2021 Annual Conference will receive a verbal report and it will be able to take decisions on the Chief Whip's report.
Q1: Is this amendment Legal?
A: Yes. The Labour Party is an unincorporated association. It is governed by the contract between members (the Rules). The Standing Orders of the PLP are sub contractual rules of the wider Labour Party. Their authority is vested in Chapter 5.II.3.B of the Party Rule Book. As a Party Unit subject to the wider Party Rules the PLP is bound by the general rules and under Chapter.1.X.4 Party Conference has the authority to amend the Party Rules as it sees fit.
Q2: Are the PLP subject to the Party Rules?
A: The PLP is not a separate body, it is a component part of the larger Labour Party. The Party Rules at Chapter 5.II.3.B authorise the PLP to operate under the PLP standing orders, which are subject to NEC endorsement. The Party Rules at Chapter 1.VIII.E and Chapter 4.III.A.i.e confirm this relationship by appointing PLP members to the NEC.
Q3: Will this prevent disciplinary actions on sexual harassment, anti-Semitism, racism etc?
A: The amendment does not impact Party disciplinary matters because it is limited only to a suspension from the PLP whip. Other disciplinary allegations fall under the Party Rule book disciplinary Rules such as Chapter 1 and Chapter 6. Under Chapter 6 any PLP member can be suspended from Party membership, in the same manner as any ordinary Party member. If suspended from the Party an MP is also automatically suspended from the PLP whip. The proposed rule change is limited to permitting Party Conference to confirm or void only a suspension from the PLP made under the PLP standing Orders and would not authorise reversal of a Party imposed suspension under the wider Party Rules.
Q4: Does the amendment mean the Chief Whip must provide private disciplinary 'details' to Party Conference?
A: The amendment only requires that the PLP Chief Whip provide to Party Conference, as part of a PLP Report, '…an addendum…detailing any, or all, disciplinary action taken, or ongoing…'. The Chief Whip must detail any action taken i.e. Mr (A) MP has been suspended from the PLP, but no requirement exists to detail the precise reasons, or rationale for the decision to suspend from the PLP. Information that is confidential, or may be damaging to 3rd parties is not required to be detailed to Conference by this amendment. Information that is in the public domain can be disclosed subject to the Chiefs Whips discretion and any overriding Statutory obligations.
Q5: Will PLP members data be protected?
A: Under Chapter 1.VIII.2.G the NEC has an obligation to ensure that the Party meets its legal and financial responsibilities… in compliance with… legislative requirements. This includes the Data Protection Act 2018. This requirement extends to all Party units including the PLP in relation to Party data. Constituent and Parliamentary data is a matter for the data protection scheme that applies to all individual MPs, who are registered data controllers in their own right. The amendment contains no express obligation on the PLP Chief Whip to disclose data that would be subject to protection by the Data Protection Act 2018. It does not require disclosure of any personal Data of PLP members, other than a name which is already in the public domain. The personal, or sensitive, data of PLP members, or their staff remains protected under the terms of this amendment.
Q6: Would Party Conference be able to suspend a PLP member?
A: The amendment specifically only grants authority to Conference to '…confirm, or… void, any decision taken to suspend, or expel, from the PLP…'. There must be a pre-existing PLP displinary action, Conference has no power to initiate a suspension of a PLP member. The only authority that can initiate the process of suspension of a member from the PLP is the PLP itself under the terms of its standing orders.
Q7: Will this take power from the PLP Whip?
A: The Chief Whip continues to have the authority to suspend a PLP member under the PLP Standing Orders and the PLP Code of Conduct. The amendment does not change this.
Closing date for Constitutional Amendments: 12 noon, Friday 11 June 2021

On Saturday, 8 UBUC-ers headed down to Charmouth to dive the Baygitano, a club favourite known for its huge shoals of fish and lots of congas. We planned on doing two dives and some boat handling practice for Jake, Emily, Ollie and myself.
After an admittedly slow start, we made it to Charmouth at around midday. We decided to launch from here rather than Lyme Regis as we were all feeling a bit skint and the reduced launching fees were taking our fancy. Unfortunately, the low tide (on springs) meant we ended up carrying the kit and two boats a VERY long way! We finally got out on the boats with blue skies and calm seas, and lots of excited divers.
We got to try out the new echosounder (courtesy of Chris!) and shotted the wreck pretty easily. The first wave of divers descended, in an unexpectedly strong current! The vis wasn't ideal, at about 2m, but seeing as this was my first Baygitano dive I was still blown away by all the life. We saw countless congas, huge lobsters, pink sea fans, big schools of bib and loads more. The current was pretty strong even down at the wreck but seemed to calm down a little for the next wave of divers.
Unfortunately, we didn't get in a second dive as planned, as we needed to get the hire van back to Bristol by 9. Returning on a high tide made everything much easier, and we managed a quick pack up and speedy journey home. Despite lots not going to plan, a good day was had by all. For a lot of us, this was our first dive in months, so we were just happy to be back in the water!


While browsing the many cars for sale on ClassicCars.com, I decided the Pick of the Day should be a Porsche. But when I ran a search on Porsche, I was amazed at how expensive even the most pedestrian 356 or 911 driver-level cars had become. This market has continued to take off, with even the 914, a car essentially unloved by the Porsche faithful, somehow now selling in the high teens to as much as $40,000.
But I am happy to note a Porsche model out there that still can be had for less than $20,000. That's the Porsche 944.
The Pick of the Day is this stunning and very original 1987 Porsche 944 advertised by a dealer in Lithia Springs, Georgia, with an asking price of just $15,995.
When introduced as a 1982 model, the 944 was Porsche's new entry-level sports car. Having learned the hard lessons of using another company's engine in the 924, Porsche took all that was good about the 924 – the terrific chassis and overall design – and created a new Porsche with its own front-mounted, liquid-cooled engine that was basically one-half of the aluminum V8 used in the Porsche 928.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder is a great engine in its own right, and when presented in a sports coupe with aggressive fender flairs, spoilers and a powerful stance, the car became an instant hit. The car also offered ease of use never before seen in the cars from Stuttgart, designed to fit just about anyone and, for probably the first time in Porsche history, a decent air-conditioning unit.
To drive a 944 is to love it, as they are one of the most-satisfying cars to drive at the limit, having a perfect 50/50 weight balance, rack-and-pinion steering, wider tires than the old 924 and more-than-adequate horsepower. Add to that fuel economy in the high 20s and service costs that are relatively easy to deal with, and you have a great sports car to own and enjoy with limited stress.
One exception to the reasonable service costs is clutch replacement. Replacing the clutch on the 944 is an expensive job, on the order of $1,500 to $2,500. These cars were delivered new with a rubber-center clutch that wears out and fails prematurely. If you are considering a 944, be sure to inquire as to whether the troublesome clutch had been replaced with the later design clutch without that rubber center. I would want to see receipts proving that this job had been done.
There's no mention in the ad for this car whether the clutch has been replaced, so any perspective buyer would be wise to ask about it. The dealer does say that the engine timing belts have been replaced, which is also an important service.
According to the seller, the car has been repainted in the proper burgundy color but is otherwise all original with under 70,000 original miles. As a 1987 model, it has the desirable later dashboard introduced in the second half of 1985 that is more modern and preferred by many.
The ad also states that this 944 includes extensive service history and books, plus its original tool kit, jack and air compressor.
It is getting harder and harder to find 944s in such nice condition, and this one could make for a good first Porsche and an easy-to-live-with first classic car.

Polter's Berry Farm sells the majority of our strawberries wholesale to farm markets and grocery stores throughout Ohio.
Polter's Berry Farm Is currently looking for farm ground to rent or buy in Sandusky County. If you are a land owner in need of tenant please contact us.
After graduation from The Ohio State University Dan and Carol Polter started farming with just 40 acres. Strawberry was one of the first crops planted and is still a major crop today.
The farm has grown steadily over the years to its current acreage of around 2000. Sons Tony and Steve have both returned to the farm after graduation from The Ohio State University and now handle farm operations and sales.
Polter's Berry Farm shared a post.

"The most important political office is that of private citizen." Louis D. Brandeis
This famous quote from Louis D. Brandeis is window to the man who dedicated his life to public service, first as an attorney fighting for the rights of the common man, and later as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice protecting the laws of the land.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1856, Brandeis excelled in school and enrolled in Harvard Law School at the age of 19 without any prior formal education. He graduated two years later as class valedictorian.
After graduating from law school, he became a successful attorney in Boston and worked to reduce government corruption, protect the socially and economically disadvantaged, and advocate for individual freedoms. He became known as the people's attorney because he was one of the first lawyers to work pro bono for his clients. Brandeis married Alice Goldmark in 1891 and had two daughters and four grandchildren.
Brandeis earned a national reputation for his decade-long effort to stop a merger of New England railroad companies. He feared a monopoly would impact consumers and waged a successful legal battle against the merger from 1905 to 1914.
He again earned national prominence for his role in Muller v. Oregon, which challenged a state law that limited a woman's work day to 10 hours. As part of his defense for the state of Oregon, Brandeis boldly submitted a brief that contained an analysis of hundreds of sources of factual data about the impact of long working hours on women. It was the first time that social science was applied to law, and what would become known as the Brandeis Brief became the model for building legal cases.
Though Brandeis was not raised in a religious household, he developed a connection to his Jewish heritage as he became more aware of the needs of the Jewish community through his work as an attorney. He embraced Zionism, a movement that at the time called for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and he became a leader of the American Zionist movement in 1914.
President Woodrow Wilson nominated Brandeis to the Supreme Court in 1916. Not everyone subscribed to Brandeis' progressive ideals, and his confirmation hearings were among the most debated in American history. When his nomination finally was approved, he became the first Jewish person to serve on the Supreme Court.
Of the 528 opinions Brandeis wrote while on the high court, 454 were for the majority. However, Brandeis probably is best known for his dissent in Olmstead v. United States and his concurrence in Whitney v. California. In Olmstead, Brandeis argued for an individual's right to privacy, and in Whitney, he eloquently defended the freedom of speech.
Brandeis retired from the Supreme Court in 1939 and died in 1941 in Washington, D.C.
Brandeis believed that education happened both inside and outside the classroom, and the mark he left on the social conscience of this country will continue to inspire the students of Brandeis High School for years to come.

The impetus of this album, "Soul Speaks", is to showcase emotional expressions, textures, intercultural genres, and improvisations performed on the 4-string bass guitar (flat wounded strings) and upright baby bass by award-winning musician Jose Valentino.
Latin-GRAMMY nominated artist, Jose Valentino switches musical hats for this project as his main instrument for expression is not the flute or saxophone, rather, the bass guitar and upright bass. With his father being a passionate bassist, musical mentor, and luthier (he created the upright baby bass which Jose used for several songs, known as Kiki Basses), Jose developed a deep-rooted love and an attune ear for the bass. It was through the encouragement of his father, arduous practice, and listening to bass extraordinaries (i.e. John Patitucci, Victor Wooten, Richard Bona, Jaco Pastorious, Abraham Laboriel, Stanley Clarke, and Brian Bromberg) throughout his life that Jose was able to hone his versatility, "pocket", lyricism, and an eclectic approach for playing the sonically-deep instrument in a manner that emulates the synchrony of a guitarist, vocalist, drummer, saxophonist, and pianist.
Within eleven features, the album consists of five solo bass performances (i.e. "Time Is Of The Essence", "The Message", J.S. Bach's "Cello Suite No.1 in G", "Soul Speaks", and "Song For Papi"), four multi-layered performances (i.e. "Pure Love", John Newton's "Amazing Grace", "Afrika Yangu Nzuri", and Miles Davis's "Nardis"), one over-dubbed performance with Jose on upright baby bass and alto flute (i.e. "Father and Son"), and one produced track featuring poly-rhythmic thumping/slapping techniques (i.e. "Metamorphosis"). The overall concept of the album is to demonstrate music as the most powerful medium of expression for communicating human experiences. Feelings of love, hurt, passion, anger, peace, compassion, nostalgia, creativity, and curiosity were expressed through the touch of four resonating strings in such a way that it facilitated Jose's soul to speak of his life experiences without the use of words. Hence, "Soul Speaks."
Jose used Tune bass guitars, Black Diamond flat wounded strings, Kiki upright baby basses, and Supersensitive strings.
