8. STATEMENT OF WORK
The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is the office within USAID that is responsible for providing emergency non-food humanitarian assistance in response to international crises and disasters. OFDA is part of the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA) and is organized into six divisions.
The Africa (AFD) Response Division and the Asia, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East (ALE) Response Division are responsible for the provision of emergency humanitarian assistance through a grants mechanism to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations including United Nations (UN) agencies and to other partners to ensure the implementation and delivery of this assistance. These divisions also oversee OFDA's non-response efforts in disaster risk reduction and resilience. AFD and ALE Response Divisions also coordinate with other organizations for the provision of relief supplies and assistance. They devise, coordinate and implement program strategies for a variety of natural and complex disaster situations. Both Divisions encompass groups of operations specialists who provide technical expert capability in assessing the quality and strategic function of disaster response and risk reduction activities. The AFD Response Division is divided into two teams: East and Central Africa (ECA), and Southern, West, and North Africa (SWAN). The ALE Response Division is divided into four teams: East Asia and the Pacific (EAP), Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia (EMCA), Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and South Asia.
The Operations (OPS) Division develops and manages operations for OFDA's disaster responses by readying people and systems; projecting U.S. Government (USG) humanitarian capacity quickly into the field; and delivering material and technical assistance. The OPS Division maintains readiness to respond to emergencies through several mechanisms, including managing Urban Search and Rescue Teams, coordinating, staffing, training, and equipping Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs), and Washington-based Response Management Teams (RMTs), and stockpiling emergency relief commodities in key locations around the globe to ensure OFDA's capacity to execute and coordinate USG humanitarian assistance and response to natural disasters and complex emergencies. The OPS Division provides technical guidance and expertise in Disaster Logistics, Urban Search and Rescue, Operations Center management, activation/readiness, Civil-Military Liaison, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive Consequence Management. It also provides overseas support to OFDA offices and personnel and to other sectors necessary to ensure OFDA's capacity to execute and coordinate USG humanitarian assistance and response to natural disasters and complex emergencies. The OPS Division is divided into four teams: the Disaster Assistance Support Program (DASP), Military Liaison Team (MLT), Operations Support Team (OST), and Overseas Administration Team (OAT).
The Program Support (PS) Division provides operational management support, including general administration, budget and financial services, procurement planning, information technology, human resources management including staff care, and contract and grant administration support to OFDA. The PS Division supports OFDA's mandate by providing innovative solutions in the areas of Information Technology, staffing, funds control, budgeting, human resource management, and procurement to facilitate timely disaster responses. The PS Division is divided into four teams: the Award, Audit, and Risk Management (AARM) team, Human Resources Management Team (HRM), Budget, Finance, and Information Technology (BFIT) Team, and the Acquisition and Management (ACQ) Team.
The Preparation, Strategic Planning and Mitigation (PSPM) Division is responsible for the technical oversight of all OFDA response and mitigation programs, as well as preparation for response, mitigation, and disaster risk reduction activities. The PSPM Division houses technical experts in all sectors potentially affected by disasters, and leads the Agency in developing and promoting best practices for programming in these specific sectors. In addition, PSPM will be the focal point for technological innovations for humanitarian assistance in areas such as monitoring and evaluation, assessment, and information management. The PSPM Division is divided into four teams: Cross-Cutting Sectors Team, Natural Hazards Team, Health Team, and Livelihoods Team.
The Humanitarian Policy and Global Engagement (HPGE) Division assists the DCHA front office, the OFDA Director and OFDA Deputy Director with tracking trends and policy developments in the humanitarian assistance field. It engages in policy dialogue with other parts of USAID, the USG interagency, other donors, multilateral agencies, and NGO partners; recommends strategies for action to DCHA; initiates development of policy and internal guidance for OFDA; maintains global relationships with implementing partners, other donors, and the broader humanitarian architecture; and engages with the UN to advance USG humanitarian policy objectives and promote humanitarian principles within the USG and internationally. The HPGE Division leads OFDA's communications and social media outreach to effectively communicate OFDA's story to a variety of strategic audiences. It serves as the office's primary interlocutor on strategic issues with other federal partners to provide guidance to OFDA on policy issues pertaining to the interagency, and to improve USG humanitarian coordination and response during large-scale crises. The HPGE Division staff manages global programs, policy and outreach, strategic communications, and interagency training and engagement. HPGE is divided into seven teams: Policy Team, Global Programs Team, Strategic Interagency Team, Strategic Communications Team, Global Capacity and Leadership Development Team, Public-Private Engagement Team, and the United States Mission to the UN (USUN) in New York, Geneva, and Rome.
The Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Promotion (WASH) Advisor is an integral part of the OFDA Health Team. OFDA addresses all disaster health risks with a strong focus on identifying and managing health risks in complex humanitarian emergencies. In natural and complex emergencies, excess mortality results from diarrheal diseases, acute respiratory infections, malaria and other waterborne or water-related disease. These conditions disproportionately affect vulnerable groups (children under five years of age, the elderly, and women). The team provides technical assistance to OFDA including assessments, proposal reviews, risk management, capacity building and technical innovations to address the major causes of excess morbidity and mortality. Typical OFDA WASH interventions include hygiene education and promotion, provision of potable water, provision of infrastructure for safe excreta disposal, support for operation and maintenance of water and sanitation facilities, and/or other environmental health activities.
OFDA requires the services of a WASH Advisor in order to meet its objectives of programming, monitoring and evaluating OFDA WASH programs.

A mucous cyst is a fluid-filled sac that occurs on the finger joint closest to the nail. The cyst may thin the skin and may cause a groove to form in the nail. Most patients who develop a mucous cyst have wear and tear arthritis (osteoarthritis) of the involved joint. The cyst has a stalk that is connected to the joint. It is thought that underlying bone spurs from the arthritis weakens the joint lining allowing the cyst to form.
The mucous cyst typically has a characteristic appearance, and the diagnosis is straight-forward for most hand specialists. Radiographs are usually ordered to confirm underlying arthritis of the joint and associated bone spurs.
Most mucous cysts are not painful. If they are not causing pain or dysfunction, they do not require treatment. In these cases, observation for changes in the cyst is all that is needed. If a patient develops pain, recurrent drainage, or nail deformity, treatment may be indicated. Even if not painful, diagnosis should be confirmed by a physician, as other diseases may mimic a mucous cyst or ganglion cyst.
Drawing the fluid off the cyst (aspiration) is not recommended since there is a high recurrence rate and the procedure could lead to an infection of the joint. Aspiration and other techniques that only remove the cyst are not effective because the joint spur is still present. To adequately remove the bone spur (osteophyte), surgical treatment is required.
If I decided on surgical treatment, what is involved?
The surgery takes approximately 15-20 minutes to perform, and the patient can go home the same day of the procedure (outpatient surgery). The procedure is usually performed with a local anesthetic only which is safer and less expensive than general anesthesia. This also allows patients to have their regular meals prior to the surgery. After the surgery there will be a bandage on the involved finger and the stitches are removed at about 10-14 days.
Patient satisfaction for this surgery is very high. There is about a 5% chance the cyst will return with surgical treatment. Complications are uncommon but can include scar tenderness, infection, recurrence, and continued nail deformity.

Q: Parse JSON record to extract key and value and put into Map in java I have one column in my table which will store data in string format the sample data is
{"pre-date":{"enable":true,"days":"3","interval":"1","mail-template":"582"},"on-date":{"enabled":false},"post-date":{"enabled":false}}

and the string contains data like json data
but when i will send this record for controller to view it should be in format
enable : true
days : 3
interval : 1

so that i can set values to respective form elements how to do this in java any help

A: Read the complete JSON string from the database, then parse it using a JSON parser, and extract the information you're interested into from the data structure/object returned from the parsing.
There are lots of JSON parsers available. Look at this page, which lists a number of them in the Java section (you have to scroll a little bit down).

A: Jackson provides the best support for simple conversion of any JSON object into a Java Map comprised of only Java SE components.
Following is an example using the JSON from the original question.
// {"pre-date":{"enable":true,"days":"3","interval":"1","mail-template":"582"},"on-date":{"enabled":false},"post-date":{"enabled":false}}
String json = "{\"pre-date\":{\"enable\":true,\"days\":\"3\",\"interval\":\"1\",\"mail-template\":\"582\"},\"on-date\":{\"enabled\":false},\"post-date\":{\"enabled\":false}}";

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

// To put all of the JSON in a Map<String, Object>
Map<String, Object> map = mapper.readValue(json, Map.class);

// Accessing the three target data elements
Map<String, Object> preDateMap = (Map) map.get("pre-date");
System.out.println(preDateMap.get("enable"));
System.out.println(preDateMap.get("days"));
System.out.println(preDateMap.get("interval"));

Tshulu Wilderness Tented Camp is situated in the rural chiefdom of HaMakuya, in northern Limpopo province, a 40 minute drive from the National Kruger Park. The camp is situated on the banks of the Mutale River surrounded by lebombo ironwood groves, baobabs and mopane woodland. Several kilometers from the nearest village, the soundscape is dominated by cowbells, baboon calls, and the rush of rapids as the river spills out of the deep pools that mark the end of a dramatic gorge. It is a wonderful place to rest and recuperate, and the birding is excellent. There are also are several short walking trails from the camp, including a tree walk, and guides are available if you would like to venture further afield.
Accommodation is in spacious tents on raised platforms with en suite bathroom and shower with plenty of hot running water. Tents can sleep up to 5 people. The communal kitchen opens out onto a central deck area for eating and relaxing. Solar power is available to charge cell phones, cameras and laptops, and provides light in the central area and the tents. The kitchen provides basic crockery and cutlery, a gas fridge and stove, and big freezer. There is a braai area; please bring your own charcoal and wood.Note there is no mains electricity.
Tshulu Wilderness Tented Camp is owned and managed by the local community. This is not a luxury lodge, but rather a beautiful, rustic getaway, with options of cultural and nature activities and easy access to Makuya and Kruger National Park.
The highlight of many people's visit to Hamakuya is staying a number of nights in a community homestead. Accompanied by guides who translate and facilitate, visitors are invited to take part in the ordinary tasks of everyday life in rural Venda. These include fetching water and collecting firewood, looking after cattle, driving donkey carts, and cooking traditional food over an open fire with ingredients gathered from Gardens or the bush. Visitors are also welcomed into their hosts' leisure and social lives, and may be invited to church, a football game, or a Tshigombela dance practice.
Please contact Tshulu Trust manager to organise homestays in advance of your arrival. Tshulu requires one week to organise homestays for guests.
Getting there: access to Tshulu camp is via a dirt road, through several villages. The road requires a high clearance vehicle, 2X4 or 4X 4 and is not suitable for sedan cars. The camp is well marked from the main road that runs from Sibasa to Mutale.
Each spacious Menu-style tent is on stilts and has a balcony and an en-suite bathroom. They can comfortably accommodate four single beds and six beds in dormitory style for larger groups.
Tshulu Camp is offering discounts to guests visiting us during the summer months (between November and February annually). This may be of particular interest to birders and birding groups as the discount applies during the highest season for viewing especially migrant birds at Tshulu Camp. 'Specials' include grey-headed parrot and African finfoot. Kayakers and canoe clubs may also be interested as the Mutale river level is high during February and there is the opportunity to kayak down the rapids.
The beds and tented camp units are nice but not the standard I expected. There is just a general lack of investment into the bathrooms and the kitchen. It feels more like a backpackers lodge where all the cutlery are very old and you doubt if it is clean. The bathroom has a neglected feel as well. All pipes are exposed and toilet seat cover broken. But the biggest problem is the very bad 10km road to the camp. I drive a 4x4 but still dealt I should have known it would be that bad because I had expensive equipment in the back that should not be shaking as much as it did. There is no plugs for powering anything in the rooms. You have to plug it in 40m away in the kitchen.
It should have better pics of the kitchen and bathrooms.
Besides the long bumpy dusty drive, Tshulu was pleasant. My kids absolutely loved it. The place was so hot though on the first day.
I think to add more facilities for children to play with would be ideal.

Q: Does this structure make sense in Structural Equation Modeling? In SEM is it acceptable to draw a path from an exogenous observable variable to an indicator of endogenous latent variable, if it is suggested in modification indices?

A: I don't think the fact that a modification index suggests it should be there makes it acceptable, but if your it is justifiable in your theory, then there is no reason that it shouldn't be there.

Bengal Masters: A Tribute
Works of eminent artists from the collection of Emami Art
Modern Indian Art has an eclectic character that privileges a cross-cultural exchange and hybridity over cultural purity. A remarkable blending of the elements borrowed from the modern art of the West and India's traditional antecedents, the works of the modern masters in the exhibition, from Nandalal Bose to Jogen Chowdhury, show the plural, eclectic nature of Indian Modernism, which has a unique history in Bengal, closely connected to the social, political and cultural life of the region. This online exhibition presents the works of ten eminent artists, from the collection of Emami Art. They are Nandalal Bose, Indra Dugar, K.G. Subramanyan, Jamini Roy, Abani Sen, Gopal Ghose, Paritosh Sen, Nikhil Biswas, Kartick Chandra Pyne and Jogen Chowdhury. It is a selection focused on the master artists from Bengal, each one of them has a distinctive approach, style and artistic vocabulary, which affirm their place in the global history of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Nandalal Bose (1882-1966) was the foremost student of Abanindranath and one of the most recognized artists of the Bengal school. Later in Santiniketan, he was greatly influenced by Rabindranath's modernist vision of art and his lyrical romanticism of the Bengal School was replaced with a more concrete artistic style based on perceptual reality and a sense of place. Nandalal was an avid sketcher. His portrait of Hirachand Dugar, one of the early students of Kala Bhavana, shows his unique drawing style. Hirachand Dugar's son Indra Dugar (1918-1989) was also a renowned artist, who, unlike his famous father, did not have any institutional training in art. His works, however, are refined and skilful, showing the influence of the Santiniketan artists, particularly that of Nandalal Bose. K. G. Subramanyan (1924-2016), a student and later a teacher of Kala Bhavana, was a powerful modern artist who, through his artworks and writings, re-established the relevance of the Santiniketan art education and art practices in the global context of Contemporary Art. Like his illustrious mentors, Nandalal and Benodebehari, he experimented with a wide range of mediums, from terracotta and murals to painted platters. The two Saras or painted platters in the exhibition show how remarkably he revitalizes the sensibility of the traditional medium.
The two paintings by Jamini Roy (1887-1972) show his trademark style, derived from the tradition of Bengal folk paintings. Abani Sen (1905-1972), a student of the Government School of Art, Calcutta and founder of the Young Artists' Union and later, the Art Rebel, is known for his paintings of the prehistoric animal forms that speak of organic vitality. He was a great admirer of the experimental approaches of the Western modern artists; his two paintings in this exhibition show his tryst with Cezanne. A widely travelled artist, Paritosh Sen (1918-2008) studied art in Madras and was the founder member of the Calcutta Group. His works show his careful, slightly erotic, observations of the everyday life and also his appreciation of the European art, particularly the post-cubist paintings of Pablo Picasso, whom he met in Paris. Gopal Ghose (1913-1980) studied art in Jaipur and Madras and was also one of the founder members of the Calcutta Group. Besides his paintings of the agony of the 1940s, he is also famous for reinterpreting the genre of landscape painting in a new way. Painted with fresh and vibrant colours, many of his landscapes are fauvist, evoking the distant memories of rural India.
Nikhil Biswas (1930-1966), a student of the Government College of Art, Calcutta and the founder member of Calcutta Painters, Chitrangshu and the Society of Contemporary Artists, was an artist committed to bringing about a radical transformation in Contemporary Indian Art. His powerful drawings of animals are Expressionist in character, displaying a fine balance between structural stability and subjective emotions. Kartick Chandra Pyne (1931-2017), a graduate of the Government College of Art, Calcutta, is one of the early surrealist painters of India. His famous nudes, painted with elegant ease and vibrant colours, are sites in which nature, society, fantasy, myth and human desires are interconnected. Jogen Chowdhury (1939 -) received his training in academic realism as a student of the Government Art College, Calcutta. Skilfully drawn, his early drawings of the refugee families at the Sealdah Railway Station speak of the tragic human histories of the partitioned Bengal, which has had a profound impact on the artist.

Former estate of American humorist and poloist, Will Rogers State Historic Park lies in the Santa Monica Mountains in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. Rogers bought the property in 1922 where he built a small weekend cottage, and in 1926 constructed a polo field on the land. The track attracted the company of elite Hollywood celebrities including Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Darryl Zanuck, Hal Roach and Walt Disney. Soon the property became home to the Roger's family in 1928 when Will, his wife Betty, and their three children moved to the ranch and the cottage was expanded to its present size of thirty-one rooms. After the passing of Rogers and his wife, the estate was declared a state park in 1944.
The ranch is maintained in its original state and reflects Will Rogers' roots in horsemanship, starting with the polo field, which is the first thing the visitor sees when looking south from the parking area. The field is now the only outdoor polo field in Los Angeles County. Today, some of the most important polo tournaments in the USA take place here in this park.

George Floyd and Mohamed Bouazizi: What Americans can Learn from Tunisia's Arab Spring
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – In mid-December, 2010 in the small Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, a small drama unfolded that would change the world, and certainly would change Tunisia. Tareq Mohammed Bouazizi, a street peddler who had just bought $200 worth of produce to sell off a cart, was harassed by police for not having a license (none is needed to sell off a cart). They were likely looking for a bribe, but Bouazizi didn't have money for that. Bouazizi sought redress with a local municipal official but claimed that she slapped him and sent him away (she denies this). Then he went to the governor's office and still got no satisfaction. He stood in the street before the office, having bought a can of gasoline, and doused himself, setting himself afire, shouting beforehand "How do you expect me to make a living?" People around him put out the fire, and he was taken to a series of trauma hospitals.
Despite strict press censorship, news of what happened to Bouazizi spread like wildfire in Tunisia's towns and cities, and outraged youth who identified with the young man began staging demonstrations. This was strictly illegal, and they attracted malign police attention.
By the end of December it appeared that Bouazizi might live, and the president of Tunisia, Zeyn El-Abidin Ben Ali, visited him in hospital. On Jan. 4, he died.
"TUNIS, TUNISIA – JANUARY 24: Protesters carry a coffin draped in the Tunisian flag representing martyr Mohamed Bouazizi outside the prime minister's office on January 24, 2011 in Tunis, Tunisia. Protesters from the countryside and the hamlet of Sidi Bouzid, the town where the 'Jasmine Revolution' started, walked through the night to descend on the prime minsiters office where they tore down razor wire barricades. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)."
Ben Ali ran a seedy Mediterranean police state with tens of thousands of secret police who intensively spied on the public and forbade the slightest sign of dissent.
A lot of the protests targeted the police, and police stations were burned down. The secret police were particularly hated.
Ben Ali's
state was overwhelmed by the massive protests that broke out that January in all parts of the country. By January 14, he was forced to flee the country.
I wrote about all this in my book, The New Arabs.
In the subsequent months, a caretaker government prepared the country for its first free and fair elections for a constituent assembly that would author a new constitution, which took place in the fall of 2011. The winner was the center-right Nahda or Renaissance Party, many members of which tilted toward civil Muslim activism. But it lacked a majority and had to go into coalition with leftist and liberal parties. The situation was fragile and there was anti-leftist violence, and the new constitution was not ready as soon as it should have been. By summer of 2013, labor unions and youth organizations staged another set of huge demonstrations that forced the government's hand. By January of 2014 there was a new constitution. In the subsequent election the Renaissance Party lost to a secular rival.
Tunisia's road has been rocky, but it still has well-regarded elections, and Human Rights Watch admits,
"Tunisia has made important strides in protecting human rights since 2011. The authorities adopted a progressive new constitution, held free and fair legislative and presidential elections, adopted laws to improve the status of women, and improved legal protections for detainees."
Freedom House says that Tunisians after the 2011 revolution enjoy "unprecedented political rights and civil liberties."
Some of this good work was undone by ISIL terrorism in 2015 and after, causing the government to declare a state of emergency, under which government forces have far more power than they should.
TUNIS, TUNISIA – NOVEMBER 30: Tunisian demonstrators carry banners during a march against violence towards women in Tunis, Tunisia on November 30, 2019. (Photo by Yassine Gaidi/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images).
As HRW also says, there's lots more to be done.
But Tunisia went from being one of the more repressive states in the world, where Ben Ali's corrupt family and friends may have owned 50% of the gross domestic product, to being a relatively democratic country with many more freedoms. Parties run the gamut from left to right, and the elections meet international standards. There is more freedom of the press in Tunisia than in any other Middle Eastern country, and that includes Lebanon and Israel. Still, there are some constraints (apparently it is bad to badmouth the country's small military and there are still blasphemy laws). If Tunisians can ever get rid of that state of emergency, the police will go back to having serious legal restraints under the constitution. ISIL is no longer what it once was, and perhaps there is hope in that regard.
The protests in the US over the murder by police of George Floyd are small, proportionally, by 2011 Tunisian standards. Before Ben Ali fled, there were 200,000 people in the streets of Tunis. Since the US is roughly 33 times more populous than Tunisia, that would be like 6 million people in the streets of Washington, DC (the district only has about 700,000 people).
Still, in both cases tremendous popular energy has been unleashed demanding key reforms. It seems clear that chokeholds and teargas should be forbidden, and it is highly desirable that police be demilitarized. The First Amendment needs to be restored, since police around the country have been interfering with peaceable assembly, a constitutional right. Second Amendment activists have told us for years that their cause guarantees the liberties of the other amendments, but we haven't really seen them come out in favor of the Floyd protests or take a stand when police have illegally clearly peaceful demonstrators or even attacked them.
A whole host of police and penal reforms is needed, including abolition of asset forfeiture, ending cash bail, prohibiting racial profiling, ending qualified immunity, and adoption of Portugal-style decriminalization of most drugs. The House of Representatives is moving on some reform measures, but will be blocked by the Senate and Der Trump.
The Tunisian youth and unions only got a relatively progressive constitution by coming back out into the streets in summer-fall 2013 and making the constituent assembly fear for the stability of the country if they did not speed up their work and make some compromises. Even the pro-Islam Nahda Party acquiesced in an article making women and men equal, and they backed off making Islam the state religion.
If US protesters are going to be as successful as the Tunisian ones, they must get real legislative changes. And the biggest hope for those changes on a national scale is to get Trump out of the White House in November and to take the Senate away from the Republicans. But that is only the beginning, since the Democrats will have to be pressured to make significant changes.
In the long run, shaping institutions is what matters, which means the hard work of enacting laws and electing progressives.

Pennsylvania Turnpike Reconstruction Project – Cultural Resources Studies Overview
In a series of cultural resources studies for a six-mile section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, GAI's team investigated and identified 13 archaeological sites, one of which was evaluated via Phase II testing for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility. As a result, GAI successfully guided our client to change their design in order to avoid the site. Our historic architectural studies also identified 65 resources, including the Everett Iron Complex, an NRHP-eligible historic property. GAI's studies and consultation found that the proposed work would not adversely impact this property.

Q: Creating and using an IRP internally within a driver I am writing a driver which currently handles IRPs send from userland.
My question is: is there any way to construct IRPs inside the driver and pass them internally to the functions currently handling userland IRPs?
I've seen information about creating IRPs and sending them to other drivers, but I need to pass them internally.
Greatly appreciate any help.
Regards,

A: I'm not sure what the best way is, but I'd see if it's possible to just allocate an IRP and either send it using IoCallDriver() or pass it directly to the dispatch routine. Also, I think you should be able to use functions like NtDeviceIoControl()/ZwDeviceIoControl(), which would be largely equivalent to calling the driver from the user mode.

Bman's Blues Report: Forty Below Records Releases Today a Special 2-LP Gatefold Vinyl Version of "John Mayall's Bluesbreakers Live in 1967 - Volume Two"
Forty Below Records Releases Today a Special 2-LP Gatefold Vinyl Version of "John Mayall's Bluesbreakers Live in 1967 - Volume Two"
LOS ANGELES, CA – Forty Below Records today (July 8) released a special 2-LP gatefold vinyl version of the second set of previously unavailable live recordings from newly-elected Blues Hall of Fame inductee John Mayall and his classic 1967 Bluesbreakers band, titled John Mayall's Bluesbreakers– Live in 1967- Volume Two. The new two-LP set, which follows the May 6 release of the set on CD, continues the archival blues path blazed in Volume One that captures heralded performances of one of the best of the Bluesbreakers band lineups, featuring iconic musicians John Mayall (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Peter Green (lead guitar), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums). ("A welcome second helping" – Rolling Stone; "Essential listening" – Blues Music Magazine; "Raw, uncontested power blues." – Elmore).
Distributed by Sony/RED, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967 – Volume Two showcases a legendary group of players who while only together a short three months, created a lasting legacy, made an immense impact on music and led to the formation of one of the most acclaimed groups of all-time when Green, McVie and Fleetwood left to form Fleetwood Mac. Produced by John Mayall (who also did the cover package photography, artwork and design) and Forty Below's Eric Corne from one channel reel-to-reel original tapes recorded by Tom Huissen, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers– Live in 1967- Volume Two contains performances recorded in the Spring of 1967 at such well-known London venues as Bromley, The Marquee Club, The Ram Jam Club and Klook's Kleek.


I recognize that look. It's the look I might give to someone or something that I'm trying to pretend isn't there. It's the look I typically reserve for awkward, embarrassing, or even hurtful situations – the ones I don't know how to respond to. It's a look meant to block someone from attempting to engage with you. It's a look that quietly shouts, I thought I knew you! Maybe it's a look someone would give if they saw a ghost. It's just never a look I thought I would receive from people I emotionally invested in for years and years – individually (irrespective of my marriage). By emotional investment, I mean these were people I shared laughter, worry, happiness, tears, and life with. I'm talking about you – my "ex" life (family and friends).
There's a stigma wrapped around divorce, especially around the initiator. Especially if it's initiated and there was no infidelity or domestic violence (let that sink in – that's the standard for justifications around divorce. And even then, don't put it past someone to judge you for not working it out even with those things present).
For those who haven't walked this road called divorce, count that as a blessing. Really. Divorce is a gut-wrenching business. It's emotionally bankrupting and a torrid force of nature that takes on a life all its own. Granted, I can only speak from my own experience, but it took a bottomless pit of heartbreak, disappointment, broken trusts, and genuine suffering to get here.
I didn't enter into my marriage with the assumption I would end up here. NO ONE in their right mind would willingly sign up for that! I entered into my marriage the same as most people – with high hopes, blind faith in love, and a sincere desire that we would always be together. I entered into my marriage with a vision that we would grow together in a strong, healthy, genuine way. I held out that hope for many, many years.
Before I start down the path I intend to go down, I would like to point out that I'm not advocating for divorce here. However, there are times when divorce is someone's only option for peace and preserving their mental and emotional well-being. Sometimes divorce is the path you must choose to ensure you (and possibly your child/children) don't go on to experience a lifetime of hurt and disappointment.
Divorce hosts a multitude of negative emotions. First, I saw it from a Christian standpoint — the scripture that God hates divorce is staunch. I am absolutely convinced He does – why wouldn't he? God loves his children and knows the pain of divorce (for both people). There's so much collateral damage it leaves in its wake. Divorce is ugly, folks – for both the initiator and the non-initiator. Yes, both people! Downright painful from the moment you've met your threshold for heartache and you decide you can't remain in a marriage, to the days you sit in your new place in life and realize you've lost part of your identity.
Having said all that, I still recommend that before you pass judgment, alienate, or avoid and cold shoulder the initiator, remind yourself of a few things: This was not your journey. This was not your marriage. This was not your life. This was not your parenting relationship. This was not your child that you worried about impacting. This was not your emotional and mental wellbeing at stake (and remember, a child needs two emotionally and mentally well-adjusted parents). This was not your burden. These were not your tears, your heartbreaks, your daily struggles with trust issues and deeply rooted resentment. This was not your pain you had to carry around and still seemingly function as a happy, healthy, well-adjusted human being. This was not your heart that you felt breaking into a million unrecognizable pieces so regularly that you lost count.
You were not the one being lied to whenever it was convenient. You were not on the other end of the master manipulator. You were not the one being taken advantage of or taken for granted day in and day out. This was not your loneliness. This was not your daily reminder that someone you vowed to love would never see you as a priority or worthy of mutual respect. These were not your spouse's demons you had to try and wrestle to the ground ever so consistently. This was not your experience. This was not your failed marriage. It was, however, mine. Let that marinate.
I'm sorry if this took you by surprise. Sadly, we often don't express a genuine interest or ever fully pick up on other people's pain – we only know our own. I'm sorry if it made for uncomfortable conversations with your child/children (though imagine how difficult it was and will remain to explain it to mine). I'm sorry if it struck a nerve in your own life/marriage regarding things you might currently tolerate for the sake of keeping your marriage together. Though I'll say this: you only know your own threshold for pain, so please don't expect or even pretend to know mine.
I'm sorry that the offender was your son, or brother, or friend and you're having to watch him unravel. I hate that part too – I gave 14 years of my life to this person only to see him throw it all away one day at a time. I'm sorry that I couldn't twist myself into the barbwire I would have become had I stayed just to placate the relationship I was in. I realized my mental and emotional well-being were important too – I am after all, like you, a human being, not a garbage disposal for someone's toxic behavior.
See, the problem is that I'm giver who married a taker. I'm an optimist who married someone with a deeply rooted negative view on life. I was a naïve 21-year-old girl who rooted for someone to develop into a person they hoped they could build a lifetime with, only to realize that person wasn't capable of that kind of growth. I'm someone who refused to give up on this person, only to realize this person all too willingly gave up on himself long before I left. I'm a mother who realized that she would have to take drastic measure to ensure her son's father would stop taking his role in their child's life for granted. I'm a human being with a real heart that is really, truly broken.
I began seeing myself as someone that didn't deserve love, compassion, partnership, or even respect. I started walling myself off from a reality I couldn't digest anymore. I began operating as if this person didn't even exist just to live in my own marriage. It's easier to deal with disappointments when you set the expectation for your partner at zero. Then, one day I woke up devastatingly out of touch with my life. I didn't recognize myself. That day changed everything. There's a saying, "Be careful what you tolerate, you are teaching people how to treat you." It's true. I allowed someone to almost ruin me. However, you didn't share that experience with me. You didn't live that. I DID.
So, please, when you see me out at events, during child exchanges, looped into communications regarding children and family functions, even when you simply see me out in the world just trying to piece my life back together – have some compassion for what it took for me to get to this point. Remember that while this divorce is painful, it's not your divorce, it's not your ugly chapter.
Please remember the millions of overnights I had with your children, my nieces and nephews, holidays celebrated, family functions, and life experiences we shared together. I'm not a ghost, I'm not a leper, I'm not a villain, I'm not your enemy. I have loved you. I have invested in you. I have rooted for you. I have prayed for you. I have been there for you. I'm still me – just separated from something I let foolishly hurt me for far too long. That "look" means something to me. It's now fully resonated with me, your cold shoulder, your silent condemnation.
Congratulations, you've succeed in fraying yet another relationship that I spent a great deal of time and energy investing in. It makes me question whether you were ever invested in our relationship at all. Truth be told, it hurts, and I've experienced enough hurt for a lifetime. I really don't need it coming from you too. Please remember that even though I did ask for this divorce.
I never asked to be treated the way I was treated before it finally led me there. So please remember when you decide to pass judgment or cast that "look" over my way, ex-family and friends, just because a decision hurts, doesn't mean it was the wrong decision. Until you have walked in my shoes, lived my life, felt my hurt – you really don't know a thing about me. You can bet on this though: should you ever have to write a chapter in your own book that looks anything like mine, I'll spare you the look. Because I have lived it.

The Tempest Plot Summary
You are here: Home / Shakespeare Play Summaries / The Tempest Plot Summary
Here is a brief plot summary of The Tempest:
Alonso, the king of Naples, is returning from his daughter's wedding in Tunis. He is accompanied by his son, Ferdinand, his brother, Sebastain, and Antonio, the Duke of Milan. An old Milanese courtier, Gonzalo, is also on board. The ship is wrecked in a storm and all the passengers and crew are thrown into the furious sea.
Prospero, the former Duke of Milan, and his fifteen year-old daughter, Miranda, are watching the shipwreck from an island. He tells her, for the first time, how they came to be on the island. Twelve years before, when he had been Duke of Milan, his brother Antonio, had usurped him, but with Gonzalo's help he had escaped in a small boat with his baby daughter, Miranda, and his library of books about magic. They had ended up on the island and Prospero had turned the only inhabitant, Caliban, a deformed and savage creature, into his slave. There are also spirits on the island. One of them, Ariel, had been imprisoned in a tree trunk by Caliban's mother, the witch, Sycorax, who had then died. Prospero used his magic abilities to rescue him and he made the spirit swear to serve him.
The ship's passengers are cast up on the island unharmed, and even their clothes are not wet or damaged. Alonso believes his son to be dead but Ferdinand has landed on another part of the island. He encounters Miranda and they fall in love at first sight. He is the first man, apart from her father and Caliban that she has ever seen. Prospero puts Ferdinand to work manually, controlling all his movements with magic. Ariel pesters Prospero for his freedom and Prospero promises it once he has done some things for him, regarding the newcomers.
Ariel leads the party towards Prospero's cell. During this journey Antonio and Sebastian plan to kill Alonso so that Sebastian can be king. Two other members of the party, Trinculo, the court jester, and Stephano, a boisterous butler, are also wandering about on the island. Caliban recruits them to help him overthrow Prospero. They all get drunk then set off for Prospero's cell. Ariel reports the plot to Prospero.
Prospero has released Ferdinand and given his blessing to the marriage of the two young people. When the three would-be usurpers arrive at his cell they are distracted by some brightly coloured clothes that have been hung out for them, then they are chased away by a band of spirits who have taken on the form of dogs.
Ariel brings the party to the cell. Prospero renounces his magic and reveals himself. He forgives his brother and prepares to return to Milan to resume his dukedom. Miranda and Ferdinand are betrothed. Sailors arrive and announce that the ship hasn't been wrecked after all, and is safely anchored off the island. Ariel is set free. Caliban and the drunken servants are also forgiven. There is a final celebration of their reunion.

Vakaga is een van de prefecturen in het noordoosten van de Centraal-Afrikaanse Republiek. Er wonen ongeveer 38.000 mensen, en de hoofdstad is Birao. De extreem lage bevolkingsdichtheid (minder dan 1 persoon per km²) komt vooral door slavenhandel via Soedan in de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw. In 2007 vonden gevechten plaats tussen rebellen (UFDR) en regeringstroepen.
