Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask
The Russian Czar Peter the Great commissions Jonathan Green, an English traveller, to map the Far East territories of the Russian Empire. Green sets off on yet another long journey, full of unbelievable adventures, which eventually leads him to China. On his way, the famous cartographer makes breath-taking discoveries, meets mysterious creatures, Chinese princesses, deadly masters of oriental martial arts, and even Lun Van, the King of Dragons, himself. What could be more perilous than looking into the eyes of Viy? Only meeting him again… What will prevail this time — the unflinching scepticism of the scientist or ancient black magic, which has already gained influence over the Far East Lands?

After A Breakup, This Is The First Person You Call
(Photo: Erin Yamagata)
Couples, take note: March is known as the breakup month. A FindLaw analysis conducted between 2008 and 2011 found that divorce filings peak this month, while an analysis of Facebook status updates pinpointed March (along with December) as prime breaking-up time. One possible explanation is that many couples are unwilling to face the holidays (including Valentine's Day) solo, and so if they are headed for a split, they may postpone it until after the themed chocolate is cleared from the drugstore shelves and the mass-market-romance media messages die down.
Related: What To Do When You Hate Your Friends
Still, breaking up, as they say, is hard to do — in March or any other month. To learn how Americans recover from lost love, Smartphone app LISTEN teamed up with opinion database YouGov between December 23 and 29 of last year to query 1,094 U.S. adults on their breakup habits.

Apparently, of the 50 ways to leave your lover, an old-fashioned IRL conversation remains the most popular. Three out of four of those surveyed would break up with a partner face-to-face, while the remainder prefers a phone call. Then, directly after a breakup, we turn to our inner circle for solace.
Related: 15 Friend Breakups You Wouldn't Have Survived
The top eight people we call after a breakup are a female friend (27%), Mom (17%), a sibling (10%), a male friend (10%), another family member (4%), Dad (2%), the person we just broke up with (2%), and an ex (1%). While friends and family are logical confidantes, we can't say whether those who seek the comfort of "the person they just broke up with" are highly evolved or in denial. Then again, healing can come from unexpected sources — even, for example, from a healthy dwelling session.

DEMONS SPLIT RUSSIAN PLANE IN TWO WHILE FLYING IN THE HABITAT OF DEMONS AT 30,000 FT!
"In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
What caused Metrojet A321, flight 7K9268 to split apart at 31,000 ft? Missile strike? No, the plane was at 31,000 feet, too high for missile strike.
So what caused the plane to split in two at 31,000 feet?
Metrojet Crash In Egypt Is Third Airbus A321-200 Hull Loss
The Oct. 31 crash of Metrojet flight 9268 was only the third hull loss of an Airbus A321-200 and the worst accident so far involving the type. The aircraft was operating a scheduled service from Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt) to St. Petersburg, Russia with 224 people on board, among them 217 passengers. It took off from Sharm el Sheikh airport at 5.49 a.m. local time. The aircraft appeared to be climbing steadily towards its cruising altitude with no unusual speed deviations noticeable until 06.13 a.m. when it was crossing the Sinai peninsula. About one minute before radar contact was lost, massive speed and altitude changes were traced. According to flight tracking website Flightradar24, the last recorded speed was 92 knots at an altitude of 28,375 ft. Aviation Week Read More>>>>>
Or how about a previous accident from 2001where the tail of Airbus A321 hit the runway causing extensive damage, but not extensive enough damage for the plane to be scuttled, it was repaired and flyable again.
How about violating the boundary established by God. The boundary is 29,050 ft or 15 cubits the mountain tops.
St Thomas Aquinas in his Summa explains what this boundary is, and why it is established by God.
According to St. Thomas Aquinas on the doctrine of the fire of the final conflagration all of the works of men will be cleansed by the fire of the final conflagration:
All the works of men must be cleansed by the fire of the final conflagration:
In a way, made for man's sake, it follows that, when man shall be glorified in the body, the other bodies of the world shall also be changed to a better state, so that it is rendered a more fitting place for him and more pleasant to look upon. Now in order that man obtain the glory of the body, it behooves first of all those things to be removed which are opposed to glory. There are two, namely the corruption and stain of sin---because according to 1 Cor. 15:50, "neither shall corruption possess incorruption," and all the unclean shall be without the city of glory (Apoc. 22:15)---and again, the elements require to be cleansed from the contrary dispositions, ere they be brought to the newness of glory, proportionately to what we have said with regard to man. Now although, properly speaking, a corporeal thing cannot be the subject of the stain of sin, nevertheless, on account of sin corporeal things contract a certain unfittingness for being appointed to spiritual purposes; and for this reason we find that places where crimes have been committed are reckoned unfit for the performance of sacred actions therein, unless they be cleansed beforehand. Accordingly that part of the world which is given to our use contracts from men's sins a certain unfitness for being glorified, wherefore in this respect it needs to be cleansed. In like manner with regard to the intervening space, on account of the contact of the elements, there are many corruptions, generations and alterations of the elements, which diminish their purity: wherefore the elements need to be cleansed from these also, so that they be fit to receive the newness of glory.
St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that fire will be the cleansing instrument:
As stated above (A[1]) this cleansing of the world will remove from it the stain contracted from sin, and the impurity resulting from mixture, and will be a disposition to the perfection of glory; and consequently in this threefold respect it will be most fitting for it to be effected by fire. First, because since fire is the most noble of the elements, its natural properties are more like the properties of glory, and this is especially clear in regard to light. Secondly, because fire, on account of the efficacy of its active virtue, is not as susceptible as the other elements to the admixture of a foreign matter. Thirdly, because the sphere of fire is far removed from our abode; nor are we so familiar with the use of fire as with that of earth, water, and air, so that it is not so liable to depreciation. Moreover, it is most efficacious in cleansing and in separating by a process of rarefaction.
St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that this fire will not exceed the bounds which were cleansed by waters of the deluge:
I answer that, Some [*St. Bonaventure, Sentent. iv, D, 47, A[2], Q[3]] say that the fire in question will rise to the summit of the space containing the four elements: so that the elements would be entirely cleansed both from the stain of sin by which also the higher parts of the elements were infected (as instanced by the smoke of idolatry which stained the higher regions), and again from corruption, since the elements are corruptible in all their parts. But this opinion is opposed to the authority of Scripture, because it is written (2 Pet. 3:7) that those heavens are "kept in store unto fire," which were cleansed by water; and Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xx, 18) that "the same world which perished in the deluge is reserved unto fire." Now it is clear that the waters of the deluge did not rise to the summit of the space occupied by the elements, but only 15 cubits above the mountain tops; and moreover it is known that vapors or any smoke whatever rising from the earth cannot pierce the entire sphere of fire so as to reach its summit; and so the stain of sin did not reach the aforesaid space. Nor can the elements be cleansed from corruptibility by the removal of something that might be consumed by fire: whereas it will be possible for the impurities of the elements arising from their mingling together to be consumed by fire. And these impurities are chiefly round about the earth as far as the middle of the air: wherefore the fire of the final conflagration will cleanse up to that point, since the waters of the deluge rose to a height which can be approximately calculated from the height of the mountains which they surpassed in a fixed measure.
What this doctrine of the fire of the final conflagration means is that there is a boundary established by God that men must not pass over and that boundary is 15 cubits above the mountain tops:
OK take it or leave it? You say "who really cares about some imaginary boundary. And this isn't the end of days, so I don't have to worry about the fire of the final conflagration."
Yeah, but can you really convince me that this 15 cubits above the mountain is not a boundary established by God? And if it is a boundary established by God shouldn't you be weary in violated this boundary?
Well if the above from St Thomas doesn't convince you, then there is another warning or sorts from the pen of St. Thomas. This one is a little more frightening. Because this one tells you where the demons of hell reside. Yeah...I bet the lot believe that all the demons of hell are in the bowels of the earth? Well not so fast. All demons were sent from Heaven to our upper atmosphere or as St Thomas terms it the darksome atmosphere. This is the place where all the demons were sent. Now it is said that the demons who successfully tempt their charges into damning themselves will accompany their charges to the pit of hell in the bowels of the earth - Hell.
So the place of demons is the darksome atmosphere until the end of days when they are thrust into the bowels of the earth, or when their charges damn themselves - which ever comes first.
What level is the darksome atmosphere? I would say anything above the boundary established by God - the boundary that men must not pass over - 29,050ft. However case can be made that the darksome atmosphere is in the Mesosphere and up.
Troposphere & Stratosphere:
Mesosphere:
Thermosphere:
So please read St Thomas on the habitat of Demons and wonder if these same demons can do the will of God by punishing man for violating the boundary established by the Blessed Trinity?

Russia just announced that it's sending humans to the moon
Before 2030, Russia plans to land its first cosmonauts on the moon, and Europe wants a piece of the action. They're a little late for the great space race of the 1960s, but the mission is an admirable push for the reignited interest in manned deep-space travel. On Tuesday, at a space and technology conference in Moscow, the head of Roscosmos Energia — Russia's version of NASA — announced: "A manned flight to the moon and lunar landing is planned for 2029." And the European Space Agency, which made history last year by landing the first spacecraft on a comet, is teaming up. "We have an ambition to have European astronauts on the moon," Bérengère Houdou, head of the lunar-exploration group at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Center, recently told BBC News. "There are currently discussion at international level going on for broad cooperation on how to go back to the moon." Yahoo Read More>>>>

Airline Wars Continue: Passenger Chokes Woman for Reclining Seat
An altercation over a reclined seat allegedly led a Southwest Airlines flight to San Francisco to return to LAX. The battle over reclined seats on airplanes allegedly has gotten violent again. On Sunday, a female passenger aboard a Southwest Airlines flight claimed a man tried to choke her because she'd reclined her seat, according to witnesses. The reported altercation forced the San Francisco-bound plane's captain to turn around and make an emergency landing back at Los Angeles International Airport. Comedian Mark Curry, star of the 1990s sitcom Hangin' With Mr. Cooper and a Bay Area radio personality, witnessed the incident. He described the commotion to NBC. "I thought it was a terrorist, so I jumped up. I didn't know what to do. A guy got into it with a lady and choked her or something," Curry said. "They wanted me to put restraints on the guy. They asked me if I would help. I said, 'At 30,000 feet, yes! I'll beat anybody down.' It was an incredible situation." Yahoo Read More>>>>>

California Dolls (1981) UK Quad Poster
Back in 1947, Robert Aldrich was assistant director on Abe Polonsky's Body and Soul, a boxing tale which he realised had a classic dramatic theme; "the biggest damage you can suffer is the loss of self-esteem and a fall from grace. The struggle to regain that esteem will fuel any plot. You don't even have to win". This idea fuelled the finale to his The Longest Yard (1974) and in his comedy-drama The California Dolls, three damaged people, a manager and his tag team lady wrestlers endure any number of daily indignities; bad food, bad motels, cheap crooks and a demeaning mud-wrestling act in their bid to reach a career-making bout in Nevada.
Vincent Canby, of the New York Times claimed Peter Falk gave one of his best performances, and hopes were high for a fast sequel. But it did badly in the US, although it was a hit in some foreign markets. Plans for a Japan-set follow up floundered when Aldrich died – it was his final film.

Is your room cold and dull? Are you craving a change that will bring warmth and unique decorations to your home? If so, African home decor interior design themes might be the perfect way to achieve an inviting and interesting living space. From bold statement pieces to vivid, sunset colors, your home will transform into the interior space of your dreams.
In this blog, we will be discussing the various ways in which you can style your home to achieve the perfect African-inspired look with African interior design themes. You will discover the different ways in which you can decorate with African art, what colors and prints to use, and the perfect furniture to make your living space vibrant with African influences.
There are many different countries in Africa, each with their own cultures and styles. For the sake of this blog, we will be focusing on general themes and characteristics that encompass a wide range of African home decor.
A special way in which you can use African decorations is by supporting hand-crafted works by native Africans. Your household items suddenly become more personal when you have purchased the items directly from the person who lovingly crafted them. Not only will you be supporting local artists in doing so, but there is also a unique history to that work that you can share with guests when they come over and comment on the objects.
One option that might work for you is an African vase. Vases with abstract or animal patterns on them will add a dramatic effect to your living space. They are the perfect accessories for side tables, but they can also go straight on the ground if you get a particularly tall vase. If you purchase an elaborate vase, it alone can add a warm and elegant ambiance to your room; however, a less fancy vase can be accessorized with flowers or plants to make it stand out. Get creative with what works for you!
Human figurines add a unique style to your home. These sculptures are often hand-carved, tall, and made of dark wood. If you prefer a more colorful option, there are plenty of hand-painted figurines available online or in local, African markets. Buy a set of colorful plates to really take center stage on your walls. These, too, are often hand-painted, offering vivid colors and depth to the walls of your living space. Likewise, one final hand-crafted option that will be sure to wow guests and add character to your room is the use of masks. African masks are made out of wood carvings, metal, or clay and also offer the walls of your room an interesting and eye-catching visual appeal.
What sets African art apart from art from other places in the world is its use of color. While African art is typically comprised of oranges, yellows, and reds to achieve a sunset-like warmth to a room, it is not limited to just bright colors. In fact, African art often involves stark contrasts of black and white. The use of black and white within your home can help to tone down the vivid sunset colors while also adding a nice contrast to your living space.
Safari animals are a favorite when it comes to tourism in Africa. Many local craftsmen know there is a western appeal to zebras, giraffes, and cheetahs. The warm yellows and oranges of the giraffe, the stark black and white of the zebra, and the gold and brown colors of the cheetah might even be the inspiration for the colors that tend to define African home decor. The best part about animal prints is that there are so many choices. You can really create your own unique room to achieve your ideal African-inspired space.
A Safari print, one of the most popular African interior design themes.
When it comes to furniture, there's even more for you to choose from. African beds, sofas, and chairs often involve intricate and dark wooden carvings. Some of the carvings have been painted lighter colors to show off the time and effort spent making the elaborate patterns. If you want something more affordable, however, simply buying dark wooden furniture and accessorizing them with abstract patterns, animal prints, or animal hides will achieve a similar look without the high expenses.
Now that you have an idea of how to use African home decor interior design themes to transform your home into a warm and unique space, what are you waiting for? Add touches of handmade art and interesting crafts to your room, splash pops of sunset yellows, reds, and oranges onto your walls, and embrace the exotic animals Africa has to offer through your ingenious use of animal prints to make your home the most talked about house among friends and family!


Julie never gets back home before six in the morning. She lives alone. I perceive that she's tired as she has been driving all night. Julie doesn't want to make any noises that might wake up Nelson. She lives alone, with Nelson.
She gets undressed in silence.
Nelson's armchair is empty. Nelson's not home. He is never home when Julie gets in. Just for once she would love to find him there waiting for her, even if he was asleep. Once again, Julie doesn't want to sleep in her bed, instead, she sleeps in the living room while dreaming of blue birds. All women who sleep with one leg uncovered dream of blue birds; I read it in a book called Animal Life.
Nelson will get home and he won't kiss her today, either. He'll caress her hair, that's all. Julie will read off the list of her passengers from the cab last night, including the two lovers she drove to a nearby hotel, and who wouldn't stop kissing. Nelson won't answer; he never does. The radio broadcaster will remind them that it rained all night and will announce the President's agenda for today, Thursday.

Abstract. Trace gas and aerosol data collected in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) between 12–18.5 km by the M55 Geophysica aircraft as part of the SCOUT-AMMA campaign over West Africa during the summer monsoon in August 2006 have been analysed in terms of their air mass origins. Analysis of domain filling back trajectories arriving over West Africa, and in the specific region of the flights, showed that the M55 flights were generally representative of air masses arriving over West Africa during the first 2 weeks of August, 2006. Air originating from the mid-latitude lower stratosphere was under-sampled (in the mid-upper TTL) whilst air masses uplifted from central Africa (into the lower TTL) were over-sampled in the latter part of the campaign. Signatures of recent (previous 10 days) origins were superimposed on the large-scale westward flow over West Africa. In the lower TTL, air masses were impacted by recent local deep convection over Africa at the level of main convective outflow (350 K, 200 hPa) and on certain days up to 370 K (100 hPa). Estimates of the fraction of air masses influenced by local convection vary from 10 to 50% depending on the method applied and from day to day during the campaign. The analysis shows that flights on 7, 8 and 11 August were more influenced by local convection than on 4 and 13 August allowing separation of trace gas and aerosol measurements into "convective" and "non-convective" flights. Strong signatures, particularly in species with short lifetimes (relative to CO2) like CO, NO and fine-mode aerosols were seen during flights most influenced by convection up to 350–365 K. Observed profiles were also constantly perturbed by uplift (as high as 39%) of air masses from the mid to lower troposphere over Asia, India, and oceanic regions resulting in import of clean oceanic (e.g. O3-poor) or polluted air masses from Asia (high O3, CO, CO2) into West Africa. Thus, recent uplift of CO2 over Asia may contribute to the observed positive CO2 gradients in the TTL over West Africa. This suggests a more significant fraction of younger air masses in the TTL and needs to taken into consideration in derivations of mean age of air. Transport of air masses from the mid-latitude lower stratosphere had an impact from the mid-TTL upwards (20–40% above 370 K) during the campaign period importing air masses with high O3 and NOy. Ozone profiles show a less pronounced lower TTL minimum than observed previously by regular ozonesondes at other tropical locations. Concentrations are less than 100 ppbv in the lower TTL and vertical gradients less steep than in the upper TTL. The air mass origin analysis and simulations of in-situ net photochemical O3 production, initialised with observations, suggest that the lower TTL is significantly impacted by uplift of O3 precursors (over Africa and Asia) leading to positive production rates (up to 2 ppbv per day) in the lower and mid TTL even at moderate NOx levels. Photochemical O3 production increases with higher NOx and H2O in air masses with O3 less than 150 ppbv.

The System Isn't Always Fair I strive to get the justice you deserve
Let Me Fight For You
Dallas-Fort Worth Criminal Defense Law Firm
The right to a fair trial is the cornerstone of the American criminal justice system—or at least, it's supposed to be. What's on paper doesn't always get translated into reality. Some defendants are treated differently based on their race, social class, or past history. Other defendants might get their day in court—but how much does that matter if their attorney is unenthusiastic or unprepared about defending them. Bringing about equal justice for all involves real work, commitment and attorneys who are ready to fight for each and every defendant they see. That's exactly what happens at T. Baker Law.
For over 14 years, T. Baker Law has fought for defendants' rights at all stages of the criminal justice process, and for change within the legal system itself. We fight hard for that most basic right of all—the right for a defendant to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
It's far too common for society—the very society that makes up juries—to equate a terrible crime with the guilt of the defendant. Crimes of domestic violence are awful, truly a scourge on families that suffer through them. But does that mean every person charged with domestic violence is guilty or doesn't deserve their day in court? Sex crimes are heinous by their very nature. But is justice truly served by rushing to judgment on the first defendant the authorities file charges against? Or does the rush to judgment only make everything worse. We believe it does.
We further believe that a legal system shows its regard for victims, not by punishing everyone that gets accused, but by truly respecting the rights of the defendant and making it clear that the crime is, in fact, so awful, that only those are truly proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt will be convicted. Some crimes are so bad that no one should be saddled with false accusations or unreasonable suspicion. Fighting to see that doesn't happen is why defense lawyers exist. It's why T. Baker Law exists.
A Metroplex Defense Attorney Who Fights for You
Attorney Tifanee Baker became a lawyer for the right reasons. She wants to make a meaningful impact on people's lives—especially those who might be marginalized in society. She believes that, while our system has very serious problems, the only way to fix it is to be all-in. Attorney Baker is very much all-in. Whether it's fighting for change in the system itself, or personally investing herself in the outcome of her clients' cases, she puts everything she has—the entire body of knowledge accumulated over 14 successful years as a defense lawyer, and all of her energies—into a defendant's fight for freedom.
A Prepared & Passionate Lawyer
Strong advocacy is essential to being a defense lawyer. But it must be emphasized that real strength in the legal field doesn't come from fiery speeches. Perhaps that may be necessary eventually, but true leadership starts with the hard work of legal preparation.
Every case is different. Every defendant is different. The law and criminal procedure itself are filled with their own nuance. Good defense attorneys start by diligently drilling down into all the important details of a case. When they talk with a prosecutor about a plea bargain, they are prepared. When they file motions with a judge, they have their facts in order. And when they present the defense in front of a jury, they can always appeal to reason first.
But that doesn't mean that real passion isn't eventually necessary. The lawyer who knows everything, but doesn't believe in their client or their cause can sound empty in front of a jury. At T. Baker Law, we're not afraid to say that we take our work home with us. Not just the legal homework, but the deep concern for the well-being and future of our clients. Our deep belief in what we do comes across, whether it's in plea bargaining, a judge's chambers or in the courtroom itself. That's why we're still here after 14 years. And we plan on being here for a long time to come.
Call (214) 777-5346 or contact us online for a consultation.
Tifanee Baker Clients are sometimes skeptical of public defenders, but I advocate for everyone equally.
THE BAKER DIFFERENCE
See What Sets Us Apart
I explain the legal process in a clear and concise manner. After all, this is your life, and you should understand exactly how the law affects it.
Some people say you shouldn't bring your work home, but I carry my clients and their stories with me. Each one touches me personally.
It feels good to win, but it feels even better to win ethically. I've been achieving steady results for eight years without any lies or deceit.
SENSIBLE STRATEGIES PASSIONATE REPRESENTATION
Being a strong advocate doesn't mean being domineering or tactless. The most effective attorneys know that a diplomatic demeanor and a calculated plan go much further in the courtroom. Though shrewd and poised representation is important, it does nothing without strength and fire. When a case gets heated, I'm always ready to go - I've never been afraid of a challenge.
Don't Give Up Your Power

"Tifanee was beyond great when it came to solving my case. She was always prepared and focused to get me out of the situation I was in. I knew I wasn't guilty for the charges brought upon me and she fought to make sure the judge knew that I was not guilty. We beat my case thanks to her knowledge, wisdom, and determination. She will go above and beyond to beat your case."
I became an attorney because I wanted to make a meaningful impact. That's what it's all about to me - standing up for one person at a time, no matter their age, color, background, or social status. My heart's always all-in.

Renaming the rotary with Black statues
The first square in the park used to be called M*word-rotary. If you haven't yet learned about its meaning in the architecture of the park, please read our contribution on the Obelisk and the Axis of Power. Here, we want to talk about the relevance of these statues today.
The name that was used for this rotary included the M*word, a term that has contributed to the history of racism in Germany. This name has been the subject of controversy. In 2014, a public debate took place on whether the city or the Foundation Prussian Palaces and Gardens should rename this rotary. Local politicians and organisations asked whether its offiicial name is appropriate today.
The M*word is indeed the oldest word used to refer to Black people in German. Experts agree that one of its roots is the Ancient Greek word "mavros" which meant "dark". Some argue that it can be also traced back to the Greek word "moros" which meant "foolish," "naïve," "stupid" or "godless." For more than four centuries, white German speakers have used this term to separate themselves from Africans. This language was part of a system that focused on difference and division rather than on a common humanity, building hierarchies between themselves and so-called "others".

Bust of Roman Emperor Titus Vespanian (Photo: M. Redzwewsky)
Have a look at the statues, or at the pictures if the statues are covered. The four Black figures here are arranged in a particular way: they look up to the two white busts in the middle. This establishes some kind of hierarchy between them. Besides, we can identify the two Roman figures – a philosopher and an emperor – whereas we don't know who the four Africans are supposed to represent. They remain nameless. The black busts are here to underline "difference", or even inferiority, to the white Romans.
Because of the underlying layers of racist history in this composition, we (and many others) have called for renaming this rotary in the books. We also wish for some kind of context for these statues. An information board should inform visitors on the meaning of this rotary in the park. It should also tell about colonialism and racism in Prussian history.
With this guided tour, we reveal how white Europeans produced and used racist thinking to justify their own position of privilege and domination. 20 metres away from here, we explain how Brandenburg-Prussia enslaved Africans and brought them by force to Berlin and Potsdam. Throughout the 17th and 18th century, white aristocrats used the M*word to call those Africans serving them. During a certain period, they were even forced to wear a turban, silver collars and earrings, accessories that were material evidence of their enslavement.
These servants have also been used as phantasmagoric symbols for the superiority of the white Europeans. In many paintings in the foundation's collection, African servants stand behind or under Prussian aristocrats. Simon Gikandi, a scholar who studied this artistic tradition, wrote that Black bodies were used in portrays "as a mark of wealth and prestige". They were nothing more that aesthetic props. As a result, their names were not mentioned in the titles of the artworks. The M* and N*words, however, are still omnipresent in those titles. Since 2015, Museums in Denmark and the Netherlands have started renaming artworks that had racist or discriminatory language in their titles. This decision was also taken because many titles are actually not original titles but descriptive titles given later. The name of this rotary, in fact, does not appear in the original archive from the 18th century. It might even be an invention from the 20th century.
The M*word is part of a historical context where Africans were degraded, enslaved, sold and even given as gifts. It still operates as a grim reminder of colonialism. Despite all this, the call for renaming this rotary in 2014 was strongly opposed by the city council, the media and a white majority of citizens. The local press even mocked the debate. A local newspaper suggested foolish alternative names such as "Barrack Obama rotary".
Many places and events in Germany have the M*Word in their titles. In Augsburg, Eisenberg and Berlin, there have also been debates for renaming them and shifting the perspective on the history of those landmarks. By revealing the connections between Brandenburg-Prussia and the German colonial past, we recommend a serious and critical examination of how colonial history is remembered today. We also call for the disappearance of racist language in the urban landscape.

Season 5 – Round 1: Of Water Lillies and Video Games
Looking back at the 1st round of Iron Builder Season 3 – from February 2017.
Originally hosted in the Iron Builder Group on flickr.
Welcome to Season 5 – Round 1 of Iron Builder!
Who will take home the crown?
Our defending Iron Builder Champion Chris Maddison or our challenger from the North Cecilie Fritzvold?
And the seed part is…
This round's seed part is the Tile, Modified 2 x 3 Pentagonal – in not one but three different colors! Our builders may use the colors freely and judging will not be impacted by the color(s) used in each MOC – colors will be judged with equal merit.
Wish them luck! Lets see who's great at cutting corners!
Who will take it home? Whose builds reign supreme?
Only one way to find out! ALLEZ BRICK!
"Ready to play?
NES Controller
"This will be a fun one! Looks like great minds think alike…but I much prefer the classics."
No time for sleep!
"No time for sleep! Better stop hitting that snooze button…"
(casually crosses clock off to-do list)
"While you've been counting minutes, I've been preparing for battle.
Choose your weapon."
The Silent Neighbours
"Careful with those, or the next funeral might be yours."
Your Move

Both builders are top notch, and it's been a pleasure seeing so many terrific models from each of them. It's been fascinating watching similar ideas populate in both their minds, as each brought their unique visions to dinosaurs, console controllers, and both sharp metal teeth and pearly white ones.
Chris: It comes as no surprise that Chris is a world-class builder, and his entries span a wide range of genres and styles. It's no mean feat to position the shield tiles in an angled ring as type hammers, or as delicately unfolding rose petals. Meanwhile, the simple beauty of Chris' two hallway scenes from 2001 and Alien show that good builds aren't always complicated.
However, some of the builds feel weak, especially in comparison with Chris' better entries. Wolverine's Claws is a fine idea for a model, but the execution is far beneath Chris' talents. The Ivory Beetle Speederbike seems to have suffered in service of cramming a few more shield tiles in, and the vehicles on the Wheels and Deals car lot drag the rest of the model down, despite not incorporating the seed part.
Overall, with a few exceptions Chris' models tend to be safe bets, with relatively straightforward techniques aside from the seedpart. Some, like the baseball diamond, hot dog stand, or Batmobile, are well executed technically but dull in scope, failing to invite the audience's closer examination.
Score: 14/20
Cecilie: Cecilie has continually wowed with her builds throughout the competition, tackling subjects as diverse as console controllers and microscale cathedrals. She set a high bar for detail in the builds, not letting the inclusion of the seedpart distract her from the fundamentals of a good build. Cecilie's motorized build of a sushi conveyor belt is just lovely. It's loaded with details, from the perfect use of the Ninjago banners to the patterned floor. The fact that it actually moves is a pure bonus. The pinecone is a stroke of genius and technical ability.
Nevertheless, a few builds did go awry, such as the cemetery, which is wholly unremarkable except for the pathway paved with vertically stacked shield tiles. The Gundam is also a weak entry, though only because so many excellent LEGO Gundam creations exist that it's hard to be either innovative or exceptionally great when dealing with that subject. The GARC racing track is a particularly weak entry, with the seed part rings employing an overly simple design. The ships are uninspired, and feel like spare-parts bin tablescraps. Finally, Dracula feels like it should be in the style of Chris McVeigh's Brick Sketches, but it lacks finesse and seems like a very rough first draft.
Overall, Cecilie's builds are ambitious, playing with scale, perspective, and a wide variety of styles. They're not all successes, but the hits are big.
Chris: Chris's presentations are largely simple, neither distracting nor detracting from the builds. Some, like the Alien and 2001 scenes or the typewriter, are wholly brick built, and are all the better for it. The setting for the mousetrap is fabulous, inviting a double take at every viewing, while the Flower Garden is perfect in its simplicity and square cropping.
A few don't work as well, though a few drag the models down because of it. The baseball diamond's dark outer glow around the field, placed on a white background, and paired with a sports-ish script font, all look very amateurish. Parts of the Forged for Combat scene are overexposed, then toned down in post, giving the image a washed-out feel. The obviously photoshopped text on the hot dog stand sign stands out like a sore thumb, and the build suffers for it.
Cecilie: Cecilie's presentations are unobtrusive. While they don't distract from the builds, they don't add much to them either.
There are a few exceptions in both directions, however. The Stegosaurus is brilliantly presented, as is the Pinecone. Erik the Viking's background is almost wholly brick-built, and wonderfully executed. On the other hand, the Cemetery background is too dark, and many of the details in the fence and tree are hard to discern. The Gundam's background is clean, but poorly executed, particularly in contrast to Cecilie's other backgrounds.
Use of the Seed Part:
Chris: Some of Chris' seed part uses are brilliant. The simplicity of the medal is outstanding, boiling the seed part down to its bare essence and using it in the most perfect manner achievable. Using a NEXO Knights shield tile as typewriter type hammers is crazy, but it works, while using them as white picket fences is obvious but well executed. A surprising entry is the electric hair clippers, which employ the shield tiles for the metal prongs, taking advantage of the stud indents to create the nuanced texture on the blades.
However, many of the builds fall well short, employing the shield tile just for the sake of it. The chess set, mousetrap, hotdog stand, 10 commandments, or the protesters would not be significantly worse if the shield tiles were all replaced with rectangular tiles. In fact, the football field use the shield tiles in such a way that it's hard to tell the seed part is even included. Many of the other builds incorporate the shield tile in an integral manner, but the model seems held back by their inclusion. The satellite, speeder bikes, Wolverine claws, and even the car dealership all seem to be in this category.
Cecilie: Cecilie's has a number of obvious but brilliantly executed uses for the seed part, such as the digital numbers on the alarm clock. It's such a perfect use for the element it's a wonder no one had done it already. Other obvious but great uses are the Stegosaurus' spikes and the game controller's directional pad. The shield tiles forming the front walls of the microscale cathedral is perfectly done, and using them as fan blades on a 1:1 scale GPU definitely counts as an innovative use, especially when the finished product looks nearly real. Perhaps the most unusual use is on the pinecone, which is an unusual subject for a LEGO build regardless (and serves as a great pun in this seed part contest), but it she manages to make it work and shapes a beautiful object out of very little other than the shield tiles.
Some of Cecilie's builds suffer from the same issue as Chris', however, by failing to embrace the pentagonal shape in a unique way and merely substituting it for other pieces or adding them as an afterthought. Prime examples are the collapsed bridge and fishing penguin, which would be the same quality of models with or without the shield tiles.
Chris: 43/60
Cecilie: 48/60
If this is any indication of how IB will be from now on….wow.
It has been a while since I have been called into duty to judge Iron Builder. It's something that I have a lot of fun doing, even though it's one of the more challenging things I get to do. You may think it's easy to look at other people's work and then say one is better than the other - that's far from the truth. Picking builders to go in magazine is very easy compared to this. But it's also very enjoyable for me because I don't get to see the best of the best in any other way. It's a portfolio presentation of the highest order - and I get to judge.
So…..this time I am screwed. I spotted some of these on Facebook initially and was happy to see the competition back. I Saw some wonderful builds, and when I looked at the Iron Builder discussion board for this challenge, I saw even more.
Some statistics: Chris Maddison built 22 builds, Cecilie Fritzvold built…22 builds also. This is not going to be a volume-based judgement. This was literally a dueling build. The build subjects were highly varied, which is great! And use of the seed part….amazing.
Here's a look at the builders in the IB categories:
While I have seen Chris' builds for years, I haven't seen Cecilie's until now (Yes, you can boo me out out the discussion…) - or rather, I haven't seen her work credited to her - I may have seen her MOCs somewhere. Anyways, looking at both builder's work, the skill level is ridiculously high. The seed part had a peculiar limitation in that it was a tile - the only attachment was at the rear. As a result, much of the builds were where the tile was a visual element. However, both had a build where the tile was used in a really clever way:
Chris Maddison: His razor is very clever in making the tile an important part in making the prop recognizable, without completely revealing the part. For me, that was a place where I just smiled at the photo. Well done!
Cecilie Fritzvold: The computer fan is simply beautiful work. I had to look at the zoom to see it was a model. The builder in me fell out at the technique, the geek in me marveled at how convincing it looked.
Chris Maddison: 20/20
Cecilie Fritzvold: 19.5/20
In this competition, the photos of the MOCs were outstanding. Presentation is not only goo photography, though, but also placing a model in an environment where it it 'fits.' The typical MOC photo is blank background with the MOC - it's a "Hi, I'm here!" photo where the focus is forced on you by the simple placement. A good presentation is more like a "Hi, I'm here - and look at where I am!" photo. The MOC is placed in a place where context is given to the MOC as well. There are some wonderful examples, but I will pick only one from each:
Chris Maddison: The fossil dig. Astounding. I can name many reasons why this one knocks the idea of presentation out of the park, but the best way to put it is: "this is a beautiful MOC that became the presentation area for the tiles, which are not recognized as such until you look at them in the context of the competition." I want a postcard of this one. No, I want a book based on this illustration.
Cecilie Fritzvold: The living room scene. Again a scene where the MOC is the presentation for the part, which are not recognized until you look for them. And again, I want a postcard of this. But I don't want a book based on this one…I want this to be the first scene of a play. You expect a minifigure to enter from the left and take a seat…
Chris Maddison: 19.5/20
Cecilie Fritzvold: 20/20
Use of Seed Part:
Here's where it gets interesting. This seed part, as I mentioned before, has a limitation. However, it also has a distinctive shape, making fair game to be used as a visual element by itself, which is done many different ways by both builders. What I look for in this area are two things: 1. The use of the seed part in a model, and 2. The importance of the seed part in the model. I had to come with this because if not, the judging would almost always tie - yes, the part is used in each model!!
How do I judge the importance of the part? Usually it's a matter of looking and seeing what the model will look like with the seed element. If the model doesn't lose much, the part is a gimmick. If the model is not recognizable or physically falls apart without the seed part, then it's important.
As with the other categories, I found one awesome example from each builder:
Chris Maddison: This is where a builder goes from a good builder to an artist. No, the MOC I picked here isn't terribly complex - it's actually pretty simple. His medal in a box is remarkable. Why? Take the seed part out. The entire concept disappears. With a minimal solution, Chris showcases a structurally non-functional part in a visually important context, so important, that the MOC depends on it.
Cecilie Fritzvold: The pine cone. Without the tiles, the model would probably looked like LEGO parts and nothing else. But with the tiles, it's beautiful and framed in a perfect setting.
So the end result? It's a freakin' tie!!
Yeah, I know that most everyone wanted a winner, but I could not come up with a reason to pick one over the other - they simply are not better than each other. Some things that I noticed with the builders:
Chris is the better technical builder (he started the motorized models), but motorizing doesn't necessarily make a model better - look at the criteria I made for seed part use. If the model doesn't need the seed part to communicate what it is, then the seed part is not important. Which means that the chattering teeth is a more effective use of the tile than the fan. But both of those were not strong enough uses for the motorization.
Cecilie is the better artistic builder. Her water lilies need to be blurred and made into a print. She took more time building environments with the seed piece as a part, while Chris built props for photo shoots.
But compare them and their advantages and disadvantages balance out, so for me they became a "time of day" competition, as in "who won?" "well, it depends on the time of day…if I am in an artsy mood, it's Cecilie…if I am in a technical mood, it's Chris."
They are both outstanding and incredible builders, and they should be honored as such. In that particular context, picking a winner only diminishes the overall achievement of the competition - to show the best LEGO building out there.
The final builds of both Chris and Cecilie were great wrap-up builds. I have to say that Chris' notes on his ring true for me and BrickJournal. To the AFOL builders: Tell your stories. I and BrickJournal are happy to pass these stories on, and both builders here are invited to tell their story in the magazine.

Well done with some really clever ideas and skillful use of the part. By far my favorite is the footprint. It is monochromatic, and so it is the striking shape of the angles in the imprint that draw your eye. Tied for second favorite is the satellite and the medal. Both use the part in such simple form, but are composed in such a way as to make the simplicity shine.
There are lots of great details in all the models: In the fence vignette, the flowers are nicely varied and the ring and glass nicely complement the rose. The chattering teeth that actually chatter and fan that spins, and the real shag carpet and wood under the saw are nice additional touches. Other smaller details, like an asymmetrical or SNOT base, layered landscaping, and interesting background images, make all of your models finished to the last brick.
Most of the models do an amazing job of highlighting the key part, often in its individual form. For example, the fifteen, I mean ten commandments, and the baseball diamond are very clever uses of the pentagon shape. In a few instances, you cluster several iterations together as if trying to decide how to use it and seeing that they are all good enough to use together, such as in the 4 variants of a speeder bike and the forge with axe, hammers, and sword.
The composition of the angles is clever and well thought out and the colored petals and stem show you have skill with photoshop. Black is admittedly a very difficult color to photograph, but I often had trouble seeing examples of the part in models that were either darkened or where the part is used in black. The side of the train is hard to make out as is the front row of figures in the crowd with signs. In one of the last entries where a minifig is in a black tunnel made out of tail pieces, I can't actually be sure that the part is used because it is too dark to really see what I think are the pentagons in the top center of the tunnel.
Thank you for so many creative and clever models!
Skill 18/20
Presentation 17/20
Use 16/20
Total 51/60
Bravo for such a widely varied sampling of models. You pretty much covered it all, from creatures, everyday objects, motorized, micro scale, macro scale, and the use of forced perspective. My favorite is by far the pine cone: it is so different from any of the other models and is a brilliant use of the part. More often than not, what makes a good model great is how the rest of the model is done- here the spiky needles and the background photo make the difference. Another example of this is in the alarm clock. Immediately you notice the numbers are made from the challenge part, but it takes careful looking to also see the clever use of the part in black as the tail ends of a book mark. And again the interior house scene- love the use of the part as books on the shelf. (And is that the death star on the top shelf? Nice!)
I also particularly liked the cemetery scene. Of course the part is clearly used as the tombstones, but as I looked at it, it seemed to me, that based on your other builds, there had to be another use somewhere. It took me a second before I realized that it was used in the path. It isn't flashy, it isn't obvious, but it is brilliant! Same with the Viking. I found the nose guard and the armor part usage, but it is the dragon head in the corner (as well as the sail and forced perspective mountains) that make this a fantastic build. I think it is this ability to use the key part in 3 or 4 different ways per model and as a composite of multiple pentagon shapes that is particularly impressive.
There are a couple of the builds that have similar features that overlap. For example, the two cemeteries, one micro, one minifig scale, do use the part in completely separate ways, and both have very clever parts usage, but do have the same general topic.
Thank you for such diverse models with clever multiple uses of the part.

Shocking dashcam footage shows a speeding driver smashing into multiple cars on an Auckland motorway on Monday afternoon.
Ben Comemadang was driving home from work on the Southern Motorway, when his dashcam caught a driver speeding past before smashing into the back of a white Mazda. The car then careened across lanes, hitting multiple other cars.

He told Newshub it was terrifying to witness.
"The car was going well over 100 and at first looked like it was going to hit the back of the bus, but then it swooped to the side into the back of the SUV."
He said the SUV then spun out in front of the bus and ended up in a roadside bush, but the speedster kept driving.
"At least three cars were hit, the video shows two being crashed into, then the speeding car ended up in the bushes as well."
He said he pulled over to check on the driver and passenger of the white Mazda, who were both in shock.
"The passenger came out of the car and was shaking, in shock. Then I went to see the driver who was panicking and crying. I told her she'd better get out [of the car] because I smelled gas."
The driver of the white Mazda, Waduge Himesha Erandi Fernando, told Newshub the crash was one of the most terrifying things she's ever been involved in.
"It all happened so fast and I was in shock, I was literally shaking and couldn't think."
She said it felt like she was unconscious, but she could hear and see people trying to help her.
"People were trying to give us water and get me out of the car, they helped me to turn off the engine because there was a smell of gas."
Mr Comemadang said he saw the offender's car in the bushes about 20 metres ahead of the white Mazda, but decided not to go over.
"Someone was calling police and ambulance and my main aim was to check on the victims."
He said he left before police arrived as the scene started to get crowded.
Ms Fernando said she sustained a slight muscle tear in her right calf during the crash, as well as neck pains from the whiplash, but is lucky it wasn't worse.
"I would be very scared to drive again for a few weeks, I have never been involved in an accident before and I was doing everything right."
She said police called her last night and said the driver of the speeding car was still in hospital undergoing testing.
She said the driver had told police they did not remember anything about the incident.
Mr Comemadang said witnessing the crash made him much more wary of the dangers of being on the road.
"Life is so short, things like that can happen to you at any point. When I get home now I go straight to hug my daughter."
Newshub has contacted police for comment.

What does confident mean to you?
I am getting super excited about The Confident Mother virtual conference that I am planning. It seems that every day somebody introduces me to a a fabulous potential speaker. Honestly if I could, I'd run this virtual conference for weeks and weeks, however I am limited in time (12 to 30 January) because I have some sensational workshops planned for February and March. Workshops don't plan themselves!
As I was designing the layout for the sign-up page, so that you can register for the event, it got me to thinking, what does "confident" mean?
The image I have in my mind of The Confident Mother is a mother who is self-assured, who has the knowledge and the relevant information so that the decisions that she makes at any moment in time are the right ones for her. This might need her to be brave and courageous, to do something different from friends or family. Something as natural as co-sleeping is seen by some as outrageous. Breastfeeding beyond 6 months? How crazy is that? You want us all to behave like mammals?
When we become mothers or parents, there are SO many people eager to share their thoughts, beliefs and values with you. To tell you that THEIR way is the right and only way to be a parent. There are so many parenting books on the market. If you do a Google search on "mother", there are something crazy like 1.29 billion results. I searched on "how to be a good mum". Wow, that alone provides 601 million results. That's 601 million opinions on how to be a good mum. I am not here to tell mums how to be good mums. My role is to provide you with the time, the space, the acceptance, and perhaps the information if you don't already have it, so that you can make strong confident decisions yourself. I want all mums to have self-assurance and self-belief. To know that when they do what they feel is the right thing to do, that their actions, their values, and their beliefs are accepted without fuss, without question, without judgement.
I just signed up to a 15 Day Audio Challenge … the first challenge yesterday was to explain what I am passionate about. Have a listen and see what you think, it's just 4 minutes. It's my first ever attempt at audio blogging. There'll be more to come over the next two weeks as I discover how to use audio effectively with the wonderful Viv Oyolu. Just listening to her gorgeous silky voice puts a smile on my face.
So what about you? What does "confident mother" mean to you? Please share your thoughts below or come and join me on the Facebook group.

Fittingly in many ways, legendary Wake Forest University golf coach Jesse Haddock passed away during the week of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Though he never coached Palmer during his historic, three-decade stint at Wake Forest, the program Haddock inherited in 1960 always benefited from The King's cachet.
Shortly after assuming control of the Demon Deacon golf team, Haddock turned to Palmer, a former Wake Forest golfer who was by then making a worldwide name for himself on the PGA Tour, and asked him to assist the sagging program by funding a scholarship.
Palmer's scholarship helped pave the way for Haddock to recruit many of the 63 golfers who would achieve All-American status during his record-setting 32 years at the helm of the Atlantic Coast Conference golfing dynasty.
From 1960 until he retired in 1992, Haddock's team captured three national championships (1974, 1975 and 1986) and finished runner-up another three times. They also won 15 ACC titles, including an amazing run of 10 straight from 1967-76. Haddock was named national coach of the year three times.
"We have the best school in the South," Haddock would tell recruits and he meant every word. He truly bled the black and gold.
Haddock celebrated his 91st birthday in January, yet his health was declining and he was admitted into hospice soon thereafter. He died peacefully the morning of March 14, his wife of 68 years, Kay, and one of their daughters, Dottie Kay Hill, by his side.
Five days following his passing, Haddock was honored at Wait Chapel on the Wake Forest campus with a service attended not only by many of his former players — his "boys" as Haddock lovingly called them — but many golfers who were influenced by his legacy, as well as other former Wake Forest athletes and employees.
A day forecasted as rainy and cold appropriately turned out sunny and pleasant: a perfect afternoon for golf. The altar flowers were black and gold, while the magnolia leaves were handpicked from the old campus in the town of Wake Forest.
Nine former players — John Morrow, Jack Lewis, Jay Sigel, Jerry Haas, Loge Jackson, Joe Inman, Billy Andrade, Gary Hallberg and Scott Hoch — served as pallbearers, while all of Haddock's former players were recognized as honorary pallbearers. Joyner made opening comments followed by speeches from four other former players: Curtis Strange, John Buczek, Mike Brown and Lanny Wadkins.
Like Palmer, Haddock was a man of the people.
"He got them to be great when it counted," added former N.C. State coach Richard Sykes.
Haddock famously hated long hair and facial hair. "We're going to look better, act better and play better than our competition," he told his players.
One year, a highly recruited freshman arrived on the Wake Forest campus sporting an impressive moustache. Haddock offered to show the newcomer and his teammates the Wake Forest "Wall of Fame" featuring framed photos of some of the program's best players: Palmer, Billy Joe Patton, Sigel, Jack Lewis, Wadkins and others.
A tobacco farm boy from Pitt County who grew up in the heart of the Depression, Haddock first set foot on the old campus in the town of Wake Forest in 1944 for what proved a short visit. He was drafted shortly thereafter and spent the closing days of World War II in Germany with the Third Army.
Haddock returned to Wake Forest in 1947 and never left. He took a job in the athletic department to help pay for his education, running errands for athletic director Jim Weaver and basketball coach Murray Greason, while driving around legendary Wake Forest football coach Peahead Walker.
In 1952, Haddock became the first in his family to graduate from college.
Business degree in hand, Haddock began to rise through the ranks of the Wake Forest athletic department. When Horace "Bones" McKinney found that coaching the Wake Forest golf team took up too much of his basketball time, he turned it over to Haddock, who was then an assistant athletic director.
From that point on, Haddock would define the role of collegiate golf coach in the modern era — putting the Demon Deacons' golf team on the national map and molding the early careers of many future greats. Twenty of Haddock's players would go on to play on the PGA Tour and 15 on the Champions Tour.
The program's first national title came in 1974 when Strange, a 17-year-old freshman, drained a slick, downhill putt for eagle on the final hole to clinch the championship.
The following year's squad, led by Strange and Wadkins — along with second-team All-American Bob Byman and third-team All-American David Thore — may have been the greatest team in college golf history. The Demon Deacons won seven of nine tournaments that season with an average margin of victory of 27 strokes and won the NCAA title by 33 strokes, shattering the previous record of 19 and causing tournament officials to restructure the way they ran the championship. Wake Forest's dominance in the 1970s even forced other ACC schools to upgrade their programs to avoid such embarrassment.
In his later years at Wake Forest, the Haddock's started the Jesse Haddock Golf Camp. Young golfers came from all over the world to learn the finer points of the game from Coach Haddock and many of his players. "Beyond our Wake Forest golf team family, he touched so many young lives literally across the world," Brown said.
Haddock was known as a gifted conversationalist and he loved keeping up with his boys. Jackson once told Strange he should call Coach because he hadn't heard from him in a while. "Give him a call when you have a spare 45 (minutes)," Jackson said.
"They were always the nicest conversations," Strange said, "because he would just reminisce.
Following his retirement, Haddock and Kay briefly moved to Florida to be near their daughter, Sherry, who was suffering from cancer and her husband Jim Simons. After Sherry's death, the Haddock's took the three Simons boys under their wings, forever changing their lives.
"He was devoted to shaping the lives of the young men entrusted to his care," said Wake Forest President Dr. Nathan Hatch.
Haddock was later enshrined in the Wake Forest University Sports Hall of Fame, the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame and the National Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Despite suffering a pair of strokes five years earlier, Haddock seemed to recover fully and he drove his car up until the last year of his life.
Several years ago, however, Haddock confided in Jackson that he didn't feel comfortable going out to Old Town anymore.
"I'm just getting to where I forget people's names," Haddock told Jackson.
"Coach, on your worst day you remember more people's names than anyone I've ever met on their best day," Jackson told him.
Following the service at Wait Chapel, there was a reception for family, special friends and former players at the Haddock House, a $4.5 million state-of-the-art on-campus facility that is part of the Arnold Palmer Golf Complex, dedicated in Haddock's honor two years ago.
The lobby features a large glass display case with championship trophies; wall displays honoring Haddock and Palmer, and a space to commemorate NCAA All-Americans. In the heritage room, visitors can view trophies and search via interactive touch screens to see Hall of Fame members, championship teams, and videos of Demon Deacon greats going back to the 1950s.
A fitting monument for a Coach's life well led.
