Iowa is the 26th largest state in land area and 30th most populous among 50 states of United States of America. Due to this, there are many vacancies for the professionals of occupational therapy in the state. According to the BLS, the average annual and hourly income of occupational therapy professionals was $77,910 and $ 37.46 (in May 2017), respectively. License in Idaho is issued by the Iowa Board of Physical and Occupational Therapy. It may take many weeks or months to properly check all your information, gather all your required documents and issue the license.
Occupational therapy schools in Iowa offer courses for different job titles of this profession including occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapy aides, etc. Bachelor's and master's degrees are for those who want to work as a therapist. If somebody is already working, he/she can complete the master's degree in 1 or 2 years, but if you are a graduate in some other stream, you will gain the same degree in 2 or 3 years. Those who want to get both bachelor's, as well as master's degree in lesser time i.e. in just 5 years, can opt for a dual degree course. It is a must for the school from where you complete your studies to be an Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), or American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) approved school as it is a must requirement for licensure. These schools take the responsibility of all round development of students including theoretical coursework and practical program so that they can serve best to the patients suffering from various kinds of disorders. You should be aware of the past reputation of the schools you have chosen for the course of occupational therapy and also the number of students enrolled in the course for last 5 years.
At first, candidates must enroll for a bachelor's or master's degree from an ACOTE or AOTA approved school, college or university. This is the very first step towards obtaining the licensure in any state. There are some approved schools in Iowa, for primary information about them, you can refer to the list given in this article. There are some that offer courses for almost all the job titles of the profession, but there is only one that provides bachelor's and master's degree for those who want to be an occupational therapist.
Practical experience is the second most important thing for the aspirants of occupational therapy after becoming a graduate. It improves their practical knowledge about the profession so that they can work best to take care of the patients. In Iowa, there is a compulsion for applicants for licensure as an occupational therapist, to complete 6 months of internship or practicum under the guidance of a registered occupational therapist in a clinical setting.
The National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) offers exam for the those who want to obtain the licensure in Iowa. For therapists, this exam is named as Occupational Therapy Registered (OTR) and candidates need to score 70 out of 100 points to clear it. If you want to get the licensure, it is a must to pass the OTR exam.
In order to practice as a licensed occupational therapist in Iowa, applicants have to apply for it to the board. The Iowa Board of Physical and Occupational Therapy issue license to only those who are eligible for it. For this, candidates need to submit a completely filled and signed application with the application fee of $120 in the form of a check or money order. Along with this, you need to submit verification of licensure from the jurisdictions of states where you have practiced before, verification of certification or score reports from NBCOT and official transcripts from the schools you have studied till now. The board may take some week or months to gather all your documents, review them and issue you the license.
The renewal of the license is equally important to obtain it for a registered occupational therapist. To maintain it, professionals need to complete 30 continuing education units every two years out of which 8 must be completed in a clinical setting.
As per indeed.com salary of an occupational therapist in Iowa was $83,104 as of Jul 25, 2018.
On the analysis of the table above we can make out that the wages of an OT Occupational Therapy are highest among all the related jobs titles of occupational therapy in Iowa with $101,000, while lowest is of Occupational Therapy Rotation with $50,000.
From the table above we can analyze that occupational therapists in Iowa can earn highest i.e. 82,065, in Urbandale, West Des Moines, Des Moines, and Ankeny, on the contrary, Sioux City is the place where these professionals earn the least i.e. $71,049.


010 – Dreaming of dragons!
Noises of screaming and running, as well as the sounds of objects falling and breaking echoed throughout.
Li Muyang stood in the center of the storm and remained unaffected by the outside world.
His blood red eyes stared at Crow, staring at the culprit who pierced through his hand again and again, triggering his rampage.
He pushed away the table that was leaning on him because of a broken leg and step-by-step walked towards Crow who was lying on the floor.
Each of his footsteps was very forceful, the ground coffee beans or fruits that tumbled to the ground made kacha kacha noises.
Li Muyang is no longer controlled by his heart, a beast was hidden inside his body; the enraged beast drove him to do violent things.
"Li Muyang—–" Cui Xiaoxin crawled up from the ground, and urgently cried Li Muyang's name.
She was pushed down by the machine's explosion, cuts were prominent on her face and hands. Those cuts did not affect her beauty, but instead she gave off a feeling of pity and beauty at the same time.
She just saw Li Muyang plunge towards the assassin who pretended to be a coffee shop waiter, then the assassin flew away, and her body was vigorously pushed against the wall by a force, then the walls fell down.
She felt as if her body was falling apart, but she continued to clench her teeth and stood up, then rushed over to Li Muyang.
She did not know what had happened, but she knew Li Muyang was doing something dangerous.
"Damn guy." Crow's body floated up from the ground.
He was not crawling, not was he standing. Without borrowing any external force, his body floated up in the air like a ghost.
At the beginning, he drifted horizontally, but once he reached mid-air, he stood up again.
His right hand falsely moved around a few times in the air, a frame flashing with silver light appeared.
His mouth made some strange sounds, and then a murder of crows, emitting a dark atmosphere of death rushed towards Li Muyang.
The numbers of crows were vast, almost filling up the entire café space.
They were silent, but they showed the same fierce and greedy eyes as their owner.
They flapped their wings and charged towards Li Muyang, like a dark cloud about to surround Li Muyang, and then gnaw at him until no bones remainned.
"Evil animal." A loud voice shouted.
Round red balls of light appeared above Li Muyang's head, the entire café was illuminated with golden light. As the black crows came into contact with the golden light they turned into a cloud of black smoke and drifted away with the wind.
The golden light remained for a long time, until all the black crows in the room vanished into black smoke.
Red balls of light disappeared, the nether gate that had summoned the black crows also vanished.
All the crows were gone, the smoke also disappeared.
Assassin Crow disappeared, even Cui Xiaoxin who followed Li Muyang into the cafe also disappeared.
Before he had finished talking, he felt the sky spinning and ground twisting.
Everything turned into darkness as fell towards the ground in front of everyone.
The dragon roared and the wild fires burned.
The whole world is a soaring tremendous figure, you won't see the whole thing, and can only see one part of the body. Gloomy and dark, solid and can't be broken, the scales revealed floating clouds and electric lines within, which blinked in the light like a mirror illuminating human screams and suffering. As well as the almost negligible struggle and the resistance.
It displays a stifling sense of dignity, mounting the clouds and riding the mist, destroying city, and breaking the country.
Every time it waved it's tail, a city will be destroyed.
Every time it extended it's claw, a wall will collapse.
When it opened it's mouth, the dragon's breath that can destroy the sky and ground will be unleashed, melting all scenery in front of the eyes.
Li Muyang is a spectator in this foreign world, a witness to the war.
He was high up, just like ——like the dragon here to slaughter and kill.
The dragon also noticed his presence, reversed his flying and head towards Li Muyang.
Dense dark clouds were tearing apart, wind as cold as ice was blowing.
You could almost feel the heat wave breathed out of his mouth. You can even hear the pulsation of the heart.
Li Muyang tried hard to open his eyes, hoping to see what the dragon looked like.
He saw. He saw the dragon's eye.
The dragon's eyes were similar to his eyes.
At the moment of his confusion, the dragon attacked straight on and then slammed his long tail onto his body.
He personally witnessed his body being cut open, and then his mind went blank.
The whole world quietened down.
Apart from the burning spark in a far distance, the world was plunged into perpetual darkness.
As Li Muyang opened his eyes, the sun was shining brightly at the window, colourful unknown birds were chirping and acacia were dancing on the top of a tree, happily jumping as if celebrating the awakening of Li Muyang.
Jiangnan city in June is scorching-hot and elegant, like a beautiful woman wearing a thick robe. Unventilated and airtight, but won't let you feel a sense of boredom.
Women in Jiangnan are pretty and natural. Without any decoration, still a pleasing scene.
Li Shinian was the representative of this attribute.
Li Shinian's hair was messy, her little face was dirty and her eyes had nearly turned into panda eyes. Her bloodshot eyes stared at Li Muyang without blinking.
So at the moment Li Muyang opened his eyes, it directly met with her large watery eyes.
Li Muyang did not get a chance to speak, and she turned around and ran outside.
Li Muyang wanted to reach out and stop her, only to find that his right arm was tied solid and he couldn't move.
"Brother——-" LiShinian's face was gloomy, hesitating to speak.
"Then why did you look so sad? "Li Muyang asked with a puzzled expression.
"My face—–do I really look that bad? "Li Muyang felt that even his breathing is becoming difficult.
"Brother, don't worry. We've been together for many years, when have I ever laughed at you? "Li Shinian patted her chest loudly.
What just happened at that part with the dragon?


Hello to all our prayer supporters!
We hope spring is finally arriving for all of you! It's getting quite warm here in Budapest, and we're enjoying it immensely. We also have a number of news items to share.
John is writing a book as part of a new discipleship curriculum. It's based on a curriculum he wrote many years ago called The Seven Habits of a Growing Disciple. The new work includes extensive revisions, and he's excited about what he's learning along the way. We've also had interest from some of our partner churches in having him teach the materials when he's done. Pray for guidance for him as he continues to develop this.
A couple of weeks ago, John was able to help out with our team's project in Szentmargitfalva. This is a small town down by the Croatian border, which has never had a place of worship. Our team is working together with the Methodist church to build a chapel there. You can read more about this, and follow its progress on our website, along with the OMS Hungary facebook page. Here is the first post: hungary.oms.life/a-princess-some-petroleum-and-a-peugeot/. We ask for continued prayers for this project and for the safety of the guys working there.
John turned 50 a couple of weeks ago and we managed to pull off a party for him that was a COMPLETE surprise.
Tricia's job at the school has been humming along. She has been blessed by some of the feedback she's received as she's filled in for the main librarian and it's a joy for her to work with the kids and encourage them to enjoy books. As we look toward next year, when the full-time librarian returns from her home assignment, Tricia's role will probably move toward half time in the library and half time working with the special needs kids at the school. Pray for Tricia and the kids as they finish up the school year.
Our new teammate, Anna Long, arrived last week. We're excited to get to work with her and are praying for her as she adjusts to living in Budapest. Continue to pray for the others who are funding to join us, Madison Atkinson, and Josh and Rhoda Woeckener. We have others in the pipeline, getting ready to interview and hopefully begin the process of joining our team.
Just this past weekend, we enjoyed hosting four students from Houghton College as they tour Europe a bit. Hannah enjoyed renewing friendships and making new ones, and they all tried to convince her to attend Houghton. It's at the top of her list! So far this spring, she's taken the SAT and the ACT, and will take the SAT again this weekend. She still has another year of high school, but the college talk has picked up a lot lately. We're hoping the next year goes by VERY slowly, and we're praying for guidance and provision for her. We're also thankful that her concussion symptoms seem to be receding.
Thanks so much for your prayers that uphold us!!
If you would like to receive our regular updates by email or postal mail please let us know by using the Contact Us page. Thanks!

U.S. Supreme Court Affirms Megan's Laws, Three-Strikes
By David G. Savage
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld two of the most popular tough-on-crime laws of the 1990s: California's three-strikes law that sends repeat offenders to prison for life and Megan's laws, which alert the public to sex offenders who have been released from prison.
Career criminals and sex offenders pose special dangers, the high court said, and the government is entitled to take extraordinary measures to protect the public from them.
The highly publicized murders of two young girls — Polly Klaas in California and Megan Kanka in New Jersey — outraged the public and triggered the wave of new state laws.
The notion that criminals could be rehabilitated, and past crimes forgiven, was swept aside in favor of harsher measures.
The Klaas murder led to the much-copied California law that denies parole to repeat offenders, while the Kanka slaying gave parents and the general public a new right to learn of sex offenders who may have moved into their neighborhoods.
In their rulings Wednesday, the court rejected constitutional challenges from those who said the laws go too far in some instances.
It is not unduly harsh to send thieves and petty criminals to prison for the rest of their lives, the justices said in a pair of 5-4 rulings that upheld the three-strikes law.
And states may require former sex criminals to have their names, addresses and photographs posted on the Internet, even if they are no longer dangerous and their crimes took place long ago, the court said in another pair of rulings that upheld Megan's laws.
Those who believe these laws are unfair should take their complaints to the Legislatures that passed them, not to the federal courts, said Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a former Arizona legislator.
"We do not sit as a 'superlegislature' to second-guess these policy choices," she said, speaking for a 5-4 majority.
Three of the decisions overturned liberal rulings by federal judges in California and New York that had put limits on the laws. The fourth affirmed a ruling by a California state court that brushed aside a challenge to the three-strikes law as cruel and unusual punishment.
The 1993 murder of 12-year-old Klaas by Richard Allen Davis, a paroled kidnapper, galvanized public support to scrap a policy of leniency toward repeat offenders, the court noted.
Davis served only half of a 16-year sentence. Had he served the full sentence, "he would still have been in prison on the day that Polly Klaas was kidnapped," O'Connor said.
A year later, California voters and the Legislature passed versions of the three-strikes law with the intent of keeping "serious" and "violent" criminals behind bars. Since then, 25 states and the federal government adopted similar measures.
These laws "effected a sea change in criminal sentencing through the nation (and) targeted the class of offenders who pose the greatest threat to public safety: career criminals," O'Connor said.
But California's law had an unusual quirk. It allowed prosecutors to charge a minor offense as a serious felony if the criminal had other convictions on his record.
In 1995, Leandro Andrade, an Army veteran and a heroin addict, was arrested for shoplifting five videotapes valued at $84.70 from a Kmart in Ontario. Two weeks later, he went to a different Kmart in Montclair, Calif., and stole four videotapes. And again, he was caught before leaving the parking lot.
He pleaded guilty to the petty thefts. But prosecutors in San Bernardino County noted that he had two burglary convictions in 1982 and convictions for selling marijuana in 1988 and 1990.
Under California's law, the two petty thefts could be charged as a third and fourth strike against Andrade, and the 37-year-old was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Last year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the sentence — life in prison for petty theft — was grossly disproportionate to the crime and was therefore cruel and unusual punishment.
Judge Richard Paez, a President Clinton appointee to the 9th Circuit, said the decision did not strike down the three-strikes law but only limited its use in the "unusual circumstances" of a petty theft that triggered the life term.
State officials say 344 inmates are serving long prison terms for a third strike that was a petty theft.
California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer appealed, and the high court reversed the 9th Circuit's decision in Lockyer vs. Andrade.
O'Connor stressed that a criminal's entire record should be weighed, not just the third strike that sent him away.
Regarding Andrade, she said this is not "the extraordinary case" of a punishment that is grossly disproportionate. Indeed, the 9th Circuit should not even have taken up Andrade's federal appeal since the California courts properly rejected it, she said.
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and Justice Anthony M. Kennedy agreed.
Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas took an even more rigid stand, saying they could not imagine a prison sentence that would be cruel and unusual punishment.
Scalia said the 8th Amendment limits only "modes" of punishment, such as burning at the stake. It does not limit the length of a prison term, he said. Thomas agreed.
In dissent, Justice David H. Souter said, "If Andrade's sentence is not grossly disproportionate, the principle has no meaning." Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer agreed.
In the second ruling upholding the three-strikes law, the justices, by the same 5-4 vote, agreed with a California state court that affirmed a 25-year prison term for a repeat offender who tried to steal three expensive Callaway golf clubs from a pro shop at El Segundo Golf Course.
Gary Ewing, the defendant, had a series of convictions for stealing cars, thefts, burglaries and drug offenses. In 1993, he was convicted of burglary and robbery.
"His sentence is a long one, but so is his criminal record," O'Connor said in delivering her opinion.
Breyer followed by reading a long dissent from the bench. He said he could find no other examples of such sentences for thefts. "Outside of California, such sentences are truly unusual," he said.
Wednesday's ruling leaves it to county prosecutors to decide when to invoke the three-strikes law.
Los Angeles Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley said he will not seek a third strike in petty-theft cases, and prosecutors from Orange County and San Francisco have said the same.
USC law professor Erwin Chemerinsky, who represented Andrade, said the ruling closes the door to further challenges in court.
"I think this makes it virtually impossible for any prisoner to challenge any sentence under three strikes," he said. "If life in prison for shoplifting is not unconstitutional, I can't imagine what would be."
Taking the other side, lawyers for the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation in Sacramento praised the court for upholding the California law and for rebuking the 9th Circuit.
"Once again, the 9th Circuit has been caught bending the rules in order to undermine enforcement of a law it disagrees with," said Charles Hobson, a lawyer for the group.
While Klaas' murder triggered the three-strikes law, the 1994 murder of a 7-year-old New Jersey girl triggered the laws named in honor of Megan Kanka. She was killed by a paroled sex offender who had moved into her neighborhood.
Now all states have a version of Megan's law, although they have chosen different means to alert the public to sex criminals who have been released from prison. Former offenders are required to register with the state and to supply their name, address and a current photo. In many states, this information is posted on Web sites.
Such requirements were challenged by several former offenders, identified as John Does, who said the postings had cost them their jobs and their friends.
In a Connecticut case, a federal judge and a U.S. court of appeals in New York ruled that the former offenders are entitled to a hearing to show they are not dangerous. It is unfair to post their faces on a state Web site with a list of dangerous sex criminals without giving them a chance to clear themselves, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said.
But the Supreme Court unanimously reversed that ruling Wednesday.
In another decision, the court said the registration requirements may be imposed on offenders whose crimes took place in the 1970s and 1980s, long before Megan's laws were enacted.
The 9th Circuit had said Alaska could not impose its registration requirement on people whose crimes were committed before 1994, when the law was enacted.
This extra, after-the-fact punishment violated the Constitution's ban on ex poste facto laws, said Judge Stephen Reinhardt of Los Angeles.
In a 6-3 decision, the high court reversed that ruling and described the requirement to register as a "civil regulatory" measure to inform the public, not an extra criminal punishment.
Kennedy wrote the opinion in Smith vs. Doe. Stevens, Ginsburg and Breyer dissented.
Justices' arguments:
Three-strikes law
The court upheld California's three-strikes law aimed at keeping repeat criminals behind bars.
Majority opinion:
"When the California Legislature enacted the three-strikes law, it made a judgment that protecting the public safety requires incapacitating criminals who have already been convicted of at least one serious or violent crime. Nothing in the 8th Amendment prohibits California from making that choice."
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
Dissent:
"I believe that the case before us is a rare case — one in which a court can say with reasonable confidence that the punishment is grossly disproportionate to the crime."
Justice Stephen G. Breyer
Megan's Laws
The court upheld Megan's laws — versions of which are on the books in all states — which alert the public to sex criminals who have been released from prison.
"Sex offenders are a serious threat in this nation…. And when convicted sex offenders reenter society, they are much more likely than any other type of offender to be rearrested for a new rape or sex assault."
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist
The court's opinion "will never persuade me that the registration and reporting requirements that are imposed on convicted sex offenders and on no one else … are not part of their punishment…. This constitutes a flagrant violation of the protections afforded by the Double Jeopardy and ExPost Facto Clauses of the Constitution."

Melissa Etheridge may be nursing a broken heart instead of celebrating this 4/20.
The "Come to My Window" singer, 55, is facing serious backlash after revealing that she smokes pot with her adult children.
"You know, my kids grew up in Southern California," Etheridge told "Access Hollywood" on Wednesday. "It's not a crazy thing. It was a decision, it's not something I do a lot at all — hardly!"
She added, "I want people to understand that this is not 'Hey kids, let's go get high!' That wasn't what it is at all. It was an experience that was kind of family and sacred. And so … having the whole world kind of judge it off of one sentence, it breaks my heart a little bit. And beyond judging my mothering, I wish the discussion could be about people spending time in prison whose lives have completely been wrecked because of possession."
All in all, Etheridge learned a powerful lesson from the incident. "I learned what clickbait was," she said. "I learned a new word yesterday."

Marta Cortés Canteli recipient of a 2021 Leonardo Grant
This project represents a major development in the need to implement early cardiovascular intervention strategies that are capable of reducing the incidence of AD at the advanced ages in Alzheimer's disease
Marta Cortés Canteli's research project on the "Preclinical connection between cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease", has obtained one of the BBVA Foundation's 2021 Leonardo Grants for Researchers and Cultural Creators.
Her project, which will receive a gross 40,000 euros, aims to determine the levels in blood of the plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's, in particular of the phosphorylated tau-181 protein, among asymptomatic middle-aged individuals with cerebral hypometabolism and subclinical atherosclerosis disease to ascertain whether they were already in the initial stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Research has shown that the onset of different forms of dementia, in particular Alzheimer's disease, has a close relationship with different vascular risk factors and with the presence of cardiovascular disease. This correlation has been extensively researched at symptomatic stages, but little is known about their relationship during the long pre-clinical phases of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases that reach back 15-20 years before the debut of symptoms. Dr Cortés Canteli therefore proposes that ascertaining whether there is an association between the two diseases, years before the manifestation of first symptoms, opens up the possibility of intervention in disorders that it is possible to modify, such as cardiovascular diseases, thus preventing the progression of a pathology for which there is no treatment, such as dementia.
However, understanding the interrelation between cerebral and cardiovascular diseases at a preclinical level requires a longitudinal study to evaluate their progression during asymptomatic stages
The PESA-CNIC-Santander Progression of Early Subclinical Atherosclerosis study, led by Dr Valentín Fuster, is a prospective study that includes over 4000 asymptomatic middle-aged subjects among whom the presence and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis has been exhaustively evaluated since 2010.
"Very recent studies at our laboratory, conducted within the framework of the PESA-CNIC-Santander study, have revealed that at early ages, and years before any clinical presentation, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk factors are already associated with lower metabolism in the areas of the brain involved in the future development of dementia, particularly of the AD type. And the recent development of AD-specific plasma biomarkers opens up the possibility of taking further steps in our analysis."
Dr Cortés concludes that this project represents a major development in the need to implement early cardiovascular intervention strategies that are capable of reducing the incidence of AD at the advanced ages in Alzheimer's disease.
The Leonardo Grants are highly competitive, and on this occasion a total 1,237 applicants vied for one of the nine grants awarded in the respective fields. The area of Biomedicine alone received 253 applications. Evaluation of the merits of each applicant was presided over by a jury drawn from experts of acknowledged prestige, who act independently and apply the highest standards in the criteria applicable to their specialty.
The grants are awarded in the following areas: Basic sciences; Biology, Environmental and Earth Sciences; Biomedicine; Information and Communication Technologies; Engineering and Architecture; Economics and Social Sciences; Communications and Information Sciences; Humanities; Plastic and Digital Arts; Music and Opera; and Literature and Theatre.

How would you describe the leadership style of each member of your team?
There are only two fundamental leadership styles. They are both team oriented. They are both effective styles. There is not one right and one wrong. They are equally good. However, they are extremely different.
One is described as a "Surgeon Style". The surgeon prefers to lead by doing. The surgeon builds a team around her / his own personal strengths. The other is a "Coaching Style" who prefers to lead by directing. The "Coach" never puts on a helmet, but they make sure everyone else is doing what they're supposed to do.
Which do you prefer? Which style does each member of your team prefer? This single DVD explains the two leadership styles in detail, and helps you know how to maximize each as you are leading your own team.

La strage degli innocenti è un poema sacro di Giovan Battista Marino pubblicato postumo nel 1632, avente per soggetto la famosa strage ordinata da Erode.

Struttura
Il poema, in ottave,  è in quattro canti ("libri"). Ciascun canto è preceduto da un'ottava nella quale è riassunto l'argomento.
 Libro I: Sospetto di Erode
L'iniquo Re delle Tartaree grotte
Prevedendo 'l suo mal s'affligge e rode:
Quindi esce fuor dalla perpetua notte
Furia crudele a insospettir Erode.
Egli, che nel suo cuor stima interrotte
Le quieti al regnar, di ciò non gode,
Ma per opporsi alla crudel fortuna
I Satrapi a consiglio alfin raduna.

 Libro II: Consiglio dei satrapi
Al Consiglio adunato il Re palesa
Ciò ch'a lui di temer porge sospetto.
Urizeo, ch'a buon fin la mente ha intesa
Tenta l'ira crudel trarli dal petto;
Barucco, ch'alla strage ha l'alma accesa
A contrario pensier scopre l'affetto;
Giuseppe, che sognando il male intende,
Da Giuda nell'Egitto il cammin prende.
 Libro III: Esecuzione della strage
Dal sublime Palagio Erode mira
Della Strage crudel l'orrida scena.
Lo stuol, ch'infellonito il ferro gira,
Altri sbrana, altri desta, ed altri svena.
Trafitta nel figliuol piange e sospira,
E dimostra ogni Madre amara pena.
Lasciata il Re crudel l'eccelsa Reggia
Su gl'Innocenti uccisi empio passeggia.
 Libro IV: Limbo
Spinto da Erode il fier Malecche toglie
A vie più d'un bambin l'alma, e la vita
Quegli intanto su 'l figlio, e su la moglie
Piange e sente nel cor l'alma smarrita.
Il grande Poeta Ebreo la lingua scioglie
E i vecchi Padri a rallegrarsi invita,
Mentre lo stuol degl'innocenti ei mira,
Ch' unito verso il Limbo il volo gira.

Storia

La strage degli innocenti venne pubblicata postuma a Napoli nel 1632, a cura di Francesco Chiaro, nipote dell'autore; in questa prima edizione, contenente anche una "Vita del cavalier Marino" a cura del Chiaro, il poema era diviso in due libri. La divisione in quattro libri appare con l'edizione curata da Giacomo Mascardi a Roma l'anno successivo.

La composizione del poema aveva impegnato l'autore per almeno vent'anni, prima della sua morte avvenuta a Napoli nel 1625. In una lettera indirizzata nel 1605 al pittore Bernardo Castello, Marino lo informa della composizione di alcuni suoi poemetti tra cui L'Adone, previsto allora «in tre libri», e la Strage degl'innocenti, prevista in due libri; Marino intendeva pubblicare tali opere a Venezia presso l'editore Giovanni Battista Ciotti. Il poema, previsto in quattro canti, è citato nella cosiddetta "lettera Claretti", un documento a firma del nobile torinese Onorato Claretti ma scritto con certezza dal Marino, premesso alla terza parte della Lira. In una lettera indirizzata a Ottavio Tronsarelli, non datata, ma risalente agli ultimi tempi della vita del Marino, il poeta si lamenta per la sua cattiva salute e manifesta timori per la Strage. Marino, desideroso di presentarsi come poeta devoto, dichiarava talora di preferire la Strage all'Adone. Fu l'opera più popolare di Giambattista Marino: ristampata numerose volte, fu tradotta in numerose lingue. Alla fine del XIX secolo, il biografo di Marino Mario Menghini (1865-1945) riteneva che la fortuna popolare della Strage fosse stata più alta perfino della Gerusalemme liberata del Tasso.

I've never been sure why "candy alley" in Kawagoe, in Saitama prefecture just outside Tokyo, is named as such—there aren't an overwhelming number of candy sellers there.
None of the candy sold seems to be unique to Kawagoe, either. And that's precisely the reason one particular bag of sweets jumped out at me this morning as I walked through Kashiya Yokocho, around the mid-way point of my Kawagoe day trip from Tokyo.
Hard candies colored pink, green, purple and yellow, with delicate flower images inlaid in white, these were precisely what had given me the last burst of energy I needed to completed my Koyasan hike last May. I'd bought them on a whim, when my friend Suguru and I stopped at a tea house that would've been forgettable had it not been the only one around for miles.
Walking back toward Kawagoe's Warehouse District, which is said to be Japan's largest remaining collection of Edo-area structures, I recalled how Suguru had pulled out of our planned meeting the last time I was in Tokyo (in July), and how neither of us had so much as mentioned re-scheduling it since.
In particular, the Toki no Kane bell tower of the Kurazukuri Zone evokes pre-Tokyo Tokyo, having been originally constructed in the early 1600s. The operative word being "originally"—like most the rest of Kawagoe, it was destroyed in an 1893 fire, and rebuilt more than two decades after the Meiji Restoration, by which time the Tokugawa Shogunte that built it was little more than a memory.
As my footsteps began to fall within the shadow of the tower, I considered the similarity between Suguru, as I had restored his likeness in my mind after seeing the candy we shared, and the faithful reproductions all around me. No great fire had broken out between us—we hadn't needed destruction to move on and re-build.
The taste of the purple sweet potato soft cream I'd downed before saying sayonara to Kawagoe seemed to linger on my breath as the train pulled into Ikebukuro Station, though I hadn't thought about the experience of eating it for even a second since I discarded the paper the cone was wrapped in.
Simulation, I thought to myself as I walked the "Visitor Route" through new Toyosu Market, which was purpose-built to replace the one at Tsukiji, is certainly preferable to synthesis. I wondered how long it would be until this place developed character, let alone of the sort that drips from its (deservedly) more famous cousin across Tokyo Bay.
But then, I arrived at a place where these two concepts—synthesis and simulation—become one. In the mind, the placard in front of the entrance read, the boundaries between different thoughts are ambiguous, causing them to influence and sometimes intermingle with each other.
Or indeed, if putting my own camera down would allow me to immerse myself in the art, if even for a second. The crowd itself was massive, certainly for a Monday in the middle of the Tokyo winter.
The fact that every person inside the museum seemed to have at least one camera or cellphone, and spent every other second posing (which is to say, pretending to immerse themselves in the art) made it seem impossible that I would have a chance to do so, momentarily or otherwise.
Still, I can't deny that the exhibitions were beautiful, even if the concepts were something nebulous, and the near-dozen individual rooms began to blend together after I visited a few of them. On the other hand, it shocked me to think that some people spend all day here—I was ready to go before the second hour was up.
Which is not to deny that I'm as basic as the masses, at least not in some ways. I ended my visit to the museum, after all, they way most people in Instagram seemed to: With a cup of digital tea.
As I lifted up my yuzu cold brew tea, which was served in a mug intended for a hot drink, the flower projected onto its frothy surface began to break apart and scatter, like a dandelion blown by a strong wind. Oddly, doing this seemed much more intuitive than my lunch (Tenzaru soba, a local classic of matcha-infused buckwheat noodles served with tempura that many a tourist envoy on their Kawagoe day trip) had.
I'd forgotten what you do with the excess broth they bring out after you've nearly finished your noodles—I had to Google the answer Kawagoe residents have known since at least the time of the Great Fire.

El Premio Iluro de Monografía Histórica, Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales (en catalán, Premi Iluro de Monografia Històrica, Humanitats i Ciències Socials) es un premio instituido por la Caja de Ahorros de Mataró el 1959 y actualmente convocado por la Fundació Iluro. Se otorga al mejor trabajo de investigación histórica sobre Mataró o la comarca del Maresme, tanto de carácter general como particular, referido a un determinado periodo, ámbito geográfico o tema (arte, arqueología, economía, folclore, o cualquier otro). El premio se hace extensivo a estudios sobre memorias, diarios, fondos documentales, y también a biografías y autobiografías que constituyan una aportación de especial interés para el conocimiento del pasado histórico de Mataró y el Maresme.

Cada año se editan las bases de convocatoria donde se definen las características de los trabajos que optan al Premio. Atendiendo a la doble finalidad que tiene la institución del Premio de estimular la investigación y de difundir el conocimiento de la historia, el Jurado valora especialmente, además del rigor científico y de la aportación investigadora de los trabajos, la calidad expositiva y de redacción de las obras. Los trabajos que se presenten al premio tienen que ser originales e inéditos, y no pueden haber sido premiados en otros certámenes. Estarán escritos en catalán.

La Generalidad de Cataluña concedió la Creu de Sant Jordi el año 2009, considerando que la colección de títulos publicados "conforma un corpus valioso como herramienta de consulta y fuente de contenidos".

En el año 2015 la Fundació Iluro renueva el web del Premi Iluro, que incluye la digitalización completa y en acceso abierto de todas las obras publicadas.

Historia
La primera nota documental sobre el Premi Iluro se remonta al 27 de abril de 1959, cuando la comisión encargada de la Obra Social de la Caja de Ahorros de Mataró acordó de proponer a la junta de gobierno la convocatoria de "un certamen de monografías locales o comarcales con un premio de 5.000 pesetas facultando a la ponencia de Obras Culturales la redacción de las oportunas bases y cuyo trabajo premiado sería publicado por cuenta de la propia Caja."

Las primeras bases del certamen fueron aprobadas el 16 de julio de 1959. La primera convocatoria se hace pública con el nombre de "Premi Iluro 1959 de Biografia Mataronesa". El plazo de admisión de originales finalizó el 24 de octubre de aquel mismo año. Se presentaron tres trabajos y el jurado declaró desierto el premio.

La junta de gobierno de la caja acordó la segunda convocatoria con más tiempo por adelantado, doblando la cuantía del premio, de 5.000 a 10.000 pesetas. La dotación ha ido aumentando gradualmente. El año 1963, con motivo del centenario de la entidad, se otorgaron excepcionalmente un primero, un segundo y un tercer premio.

A lo largo de la historia del certamen, el jurado calificador ha estado presidido por intelectuales de la categoría de Ramon d'Abadal i de Vinyals, Agustí Duran i Sanpere, Antoni Comas i Pujol, Miquel Coll i Alentorn, Manuel Mundó i Marcet y, desde principios de siglo, Jordi Nadal Oller, Antoni Pladevall i Font, Josep Maria Fradera i Barceló y, desde el año 2020, Joaquim Nadal i Farreras.

For those that are following this little trip thru Louisiana I want to say I received a call from a woman who represents Walmart who sincerely apologized for the miscommunication at the last store I stopped at where I was asked to leave. On behalf of Walmart she told me the cause was a good one and hoped for success. I accepted, told her I had moved on and held no hard feelings. I write this as I sit in the parking lot of their store in Crowley Louisiana on this sunny morning. The store watched over the World last evening while I was kidnapped by a family o' Cajuns for a delicious meal, another to add to the list of recipes I can't spell that you can only taste if you visit Cajun country. OohWee! I was away for hours while the World was safe in the welcome hands of Walmart.
Sunday morning the storm front that poured 4-1/2 inches on Saturday had passed and I left Duson from the Firehouse long before the Mardi gras parade and Walked into Rayne, the choppy high Winds dried the roadside and helped us along. Before I began I went to the food mart and ate breakfast with a coffee. As I sat there eating I was overcome for a moment by my emotional loss of mom. I can talk about her death from diabetes all day long during my months and miles... Later in the blustery morning some good folks brought me a coffee by the roadside in a hard plastic Clown cup from the circus," the greatest show on Earth", I recalled the tune "Tears of a Clown" and felt comfort as I sipped the warm drink, alone by the marsh. I had eaten a Subway breakfast sandwich in the morning and ate a cucumber during the day and felt much better than the heart-heavy diet I complained about from the other day; Boudin ball and Pistolette followed by a large dressed burger and fries. Better food, though less quantity, gave me more energy and endurance. Maybe there's something to this healthy diet thing, eh?
I walked into Rayne (the frog capitol of the World), past it's frog Depot city center and nostalgic main drag where I was met by the local newspaper. They brought with them a man who was walking to promote cancer prevention. His message is to enjoy a walk to keep the body healthy and strong to fight cancer. Maybe there's something to this exercise thing, Eh? We exchanged contact numbers and a few thoughts with one another as we posed for photos with well wishers, and the press who documented the rare occurrence. I was onto to Crowley while he was off to Lafayette.
As I walked to walmart, getting closer to town, I saw in the distance a man walking on the opposite side of the still rural road. He was flailing his arms and I could see he was talking out loud to himself, or to whatever demons he was leaving behind. I see troubled souls like him more in inner cities so to see a man dressed in clothes not suited for a country walk arguing to himself out there by the crawfish fields was an oddity. When he noticed us he forgot his angry rant, turned tail and headed back in the direction he came. At his first opportunity he disappeared behind a building of business closed for the weekend. I made my way to my stop for the night (the name of the road is "Odd Fellows") where I had dreams of people and places from home.
Love yourself and walk those demons away.
Hey Erik! Sorry we took so long with your supper last night, wasn't sure you were going to call, and as everyone knows in Louisiana we cook our food for a very long time!! We wish you the best and hope that you stay safe on your travels. You are doing a great thing, and it makes us realize that all the great food around here may not be the best to eat on a regular basis! Going to try to eat better!! Call if you are ever in the area again, and hope Nice fares well also.


A versatile denim shift dress with organic cotton lace!
I did it again. A shift dress, my favorite plain pattern, neutrals/basic fabrics. Several of my recent dresses have been white, denim, or black... and I've used Simplicity 2584 for 3 dresses this year!
This dress was inspired by a few much more elaborate denim and chambray and lace dresses... how pretty are these??
That's a lot of insertion lace and embroidery!
I thought about doing something similar when I had a chance to try some organic cotton naturally colored lace from Organic Cotton Plus, but I was so overwhelmed by all the designs and options that I just had to go with something simple. I know that things are always nicer when you take the time to do them right... so I sewed these rows of lace on by hand (small stitches on top, large on the underside, in a consistent pattern).
I used used Simplicity 2584 without the neck slit and with the sleeves, though I cut everything a little longer and looser than the pattern called for. I wanted something very relaxed and comfy!
How cool is this lace?!
It's unlined, with a bias binding at the neck. The fabric is a lightweight denim (see more about denim vs. chambray here).
With the hot days and things to do, the shift dress, top bun, and sandals was kind of my uniform last weekend.
I do love neutrals and classic, simple lines!
Thanks to Organic Cotton Plus for the lace!


Knödel or Klöße are large round poached or boiled potato or bread dumplings, made without yeast. They are normal parts of Austrian, German, Hungarian and Czech cuisine. They come in many different forms. They can be made from flour, potatoes, old bread, semolina, etc. In most types, they are used as a side dish for meat. They can also be served as a dessert or in a soup.
In Hungary, they are called gombóc; in the Czech Republic, knedlík; in Luxembourg, Kniddel(en), cnigle in Bukovina; and, in Italy, canederli. In some parts of the United States, klub is used to mean potato dumplings.
Klöße are large dumplings, steamed or boiled in hot water, made of dough from grated raw or mashed potatoes, eggs and flour. Similar semolina crack dumplings are made with semolina, egg and milk. They are called Grießklößchen. Thüringer Klöße are made from raw or boiled potatoes, or a mixture of both, and are often filled with croutons or ham. In Austria and Hungary they make large sweet dumplings or plum dumplings called Zwetschkenknödel. Gombotzen are made with flour & potato batter, by wrapping the potato dough around whole plums or apricots. They then are boiled and rolled in hot buttered caramelized bread crumbs. Topfenknödel are made with quark cheese (Topfen) and are traditionally topped with cinnamon sugar and served with apple sauce or with streusel.
Königsberger Klopse are not dumplings, they are made from ground meat and are related to Frikadeller.
