Vivica A. Fox: How Uma Thurman Helped Me Through 'Kill Bill' With Quentin Tarantino
Miramax/Moviestills DB (2)
By Vivica A. Fox
March 20, 2018 10:11 AM EDT
Vivica A. Fox is an actor, producer and the author of Every Day I'm Hustling.
They told me I had 15 minutes with Quentin Tarantino.
"Quentin's going to meet with you in a coffee shop," my agent said.
"A coffee shop?"
"It's to see whether or not he likes you," she said. "Then he'll let you know if he wants to see you for the part."
I thought, That's some sh-t, but okay. He'd written a role for a black woman in Kill Bill, a script that was already getting so much buzz. Vernita Green was a cold-blooded assassin hiding out in the suburbs of Pasadena — until Uma Thurman comes to get her.
I was so anxious when I got to that coffee shop. It was like an audition for an audition. The first thing he told me was that he was in a video store and saw my name on the cover of the Two Can Play That Game DVD.
"I was like, 'Vivica Fox!'" he said, shouting my name like I already was an action hero. "I am going to take this home, and if she moves me on the screen, that's who's gonna play my Vernita Green."
Quentin loves telling stories, and if he likes you, oh, he is going to talk. At like Mach 5. We discussed favorite movies, of course. I talked about Pam Grier and how much I loved her, and Richard Roundtree, who'd played my dad on Generations. "Yeah, I'm Shaft's daughter," I joked.
The 15-minute meeting stretched to an hour and a half, until he said, "I'm going to send you a scene and I'm going to come to your house and we'll work through it together."
"My house?"
"Promise me you won't hold my house against me?"
"Just promise me, Quentin." He did, and I'm sure he suspected I was a hoarder or some crazy person living in a tiny house. The truth was that I was living in a huge 8,000-square-foot mansion in Tarzana. I'd invested in real estate, was doing very well, thank you, and this place frankly looked like a diva lived there. It was straight out of Dynasty, with a double staircase and huge chandelier right when you walked in.
It could easily be mistaken for the home of a spoiled brat who would never follow direction. This was a time in film when studios were not playing. They were tired of problem actors and had dealt with their spoiled stars shutting down productions because of heroin problems. They wanted workers on the straight and narrow, and any red flags could put me out of the running.
I was afraid he would take one look at the place and say, "Here I thought Vivica was hungry." I still was.
So when I answered the door, his greeting was: "Holy shit, this is your house."
"You promised me you wouldn't hold it against me."
"Holy shit," he said again. "I'm not. Let me see this place."
Before I could say anything, he helped himself to a tour like he was scouting a location. When he was done, he said he wanted to do the scene in the kitchen. Just like in the film.
He made me read it twice. And then, like he was making an idle remark, he said, "Very good. You are my Vernita Green. I'm hungry, do you want sushi?"

We went out to Kushiyu on Ventura in Tarzana. At dinner, he told me his plan for the film: There would be no quick cuts or getting away with special effects to make us look like real warriors. I had to commit to six months of training, and all of the actors needed to become experts in martial arts to make his vision real on the screen.
"No problem," I said, thinking back to my high school athlete days. Piece of cake.
For three months, Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, and I spent eight hours a day studying martial arts at a gym they put together in Culver City. It was nine to five, Monday through Friday. If you didn't walk in the door between 8:55 and 8:59, you were in trouble at 9:01. I thought I was in the damn Olympics or something.
Uma was three months out after having her gorgeous baby boy, Roan, and she also brought her equally beautiful four-year-old, Maya, along. Of all the girls on set, I think Uma liked me best because of her kids. I used to play with them all the time. That baby boy would stare into my eyes. "Vivica," she said one day, "I think he's in love." She and I were on strict diets, and we had a ritual of spending our one cheat day a week hanging out at this bowling alley Maya loved. We'd eat slice after slice of cheap pizza, loving every bit of it.
At first, Uma was frustrated because all the other women on the film were dropping weight so quickly with the intense training. I mean, the woman had just had a child. "Don't worry," I said, "it'll come off." She went to China to film for a month, and when I saw her again, I walked right past her. She yelled, "Yay! I got skinny!"
Uma needed all the support she could get — the movie rested on her shoulders. She was so busy, and then her and Daryl had that blonde competition thing going on. And I was like, I'm gonna be cool with you and I'm gonna be cool with everybody. I'm not in a pissing contest.
I have to tell you — whether you're on a movie set or working at a law firm, some people will try to pull you into their drama and make you pick sides. Don't fall for it. Think for yourself and stay above the fray.

Drama aside, the training itself was brutal. We'd do fight choreography, knife throwing, samurai lessons and hit the treadmill and weights in between. They liked me because I could do them high kicks from being a cheerleader. And every Friday, at the end of the day, Quentin would gather us around and give us a review. He called it his "State of the Union." We all had to sit and listen.
The first week Quentin cut into us, telling us we had to work harder. Okay, I can work harder.
Second week, we got the same thing after we busted our asses. He said we weren't giving it our all.
Third Friday, I was so proud of all that our team had accomplished. I was sitting between cute little Lucy and sweet Uma, and I was ready for a high five for all of us.
Instead, Quentin tore into us. Something about us lollygagging in the morning, taking too long to suit up and gabbing over coffee. He said we should get here at 8:30, a half hour early, if we wanted to do all that.
I raised my hand. "Hold up."
And I lost it on him. "Is this a 'beat us up' contest?" I asked. "Are we f-cking doing anything right? Goddamn." Everyone gasped. I felt Uma draw back. Lucy grabbed my hand and was trying to do a kind of acupressure on me, whispering, "Calm down. Calm down."
I couldn't. I kept sputtering, thinking I was taking a stand for everyone. And finally Quentin sort of said he appreciated the work but he wanted us all to do our best and to trust him.
Uma came up to me after. "Come here," she said. She put her arm on my shoulder and those beautiful eyes of hers locked on mine.
"You know, Uma, it's bullsh-t," I said.
She repeated in her calm, meditative voice, "I've worked with him. I've worked with him. I've worked with him. And . . . it's how he does things. He doesn't mean anything by it, it's just how he gets down."
"Well, God," I sputtered, "I mean, we're working our f-cking asses off. And it's like, you know, we're not doing anything right."
"What you need to do is learn how to manipulate the situation better. Then you can get what you want."
I was all righteous. "I don't have to manipulate nobody," I said. "That's not me. I don't have to kiss his ass."
She cocked her head. "No, I don't mean like that," she said, still speaking in that calm, soothing voice. "You have to learn to be quiet, speak less. He's tough, but he's not stupid. He'll concede you something if it's to make the film better. Learn to attack intelligently, Vivica. Because he's got the power to fire you."
And she told me she didn't want that to happen. "But thank you for speaking up," she said.
That moment was pure sisterhood. She was honestly looking out for me. She wanted me to advocate for myself, but to do it in a way that was more constructive. I'll admit, it still took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about.

I was driving home from Culver City when I realized why she had touched me so deeply. I thought about my dad, and when he would tell me not to just go off on the basketball court when all my energy had me spazzing out. "Attack intelligently," he would tell me, the exact same words Uma used. "Don't blow it by blowing up."
When it came time for real rehearsals and filming, I got to see Uma give a master class in being a movie star and leader on the set.
I watched her argue with Quentin, intelligently and successfully, for wardrobe changes and even dialogue rewrites. She made it a true collaboration, pushing him away from simply making an ode to the samurai films he made us all watch with him, toward something new. Kill Bill is an astonishing work because of their shared efforts, and it's because they each approached it not as a job, but as a cornerstone of their careers.
I know it's the work that I am most proud of in my career. It took four days to film our fight scene, and on the last day I took a long bath when it was over. I sat in the tub and counted all the bruises on my arms and legs. I got up to 30. And I did so with gratitude. I was proud of my battle scars. I had done a Tarantino film, and nobody could take that accomplishment from me. Quentin is a fabulous director and I'd love to work with him again. I appreciate those endless hours in the Culver City torture chamber. It was his way of breaking us down to build us back up.
I had no idea about the car crash Uma recently made public, as that scene was shot after I completed my filming. But when I saw it I was shocked. Even at the premiere and on press tours in Los Angeles and New York, it wasn't even mentioned. I commend Uma for her courage and grace, and hopefully Quentin learned that no shot is worth risking an actor's safety.
From Uma, I learned so much about sharing power. She wanted me to do my best. That hasn't always been the case for black women actors in film. I think the dirty secret of why African-American women are only now getting more opportunities is that directors were afraid to put a sister against a white woman actor. Because they knew the sister, who'd had to work her ass off to get to that moment, was always going to shine like the brightest light and blow the white actor off the screen. I say put me with the best. Because if she's bringing her A-game, I'm bringing my A-plus game. And we gonna turn this mother out.

El alivio es una emoción positiva que se siente cuando algo desagradable o doloroso se termina o no llega a suceder.

El alivio a menudo se acompaña de un suspiro, el cual marca la transición emocional. En todo el mundo la gente reconoce los suspiros de alivio y lo consideran una emoción fundamental.

En un estudio de 2017 publicado en Psychology, se sugiere que el alivio puede ser una emoción que puede reforzar ansiedad a través de la evitación, o ser un mecanismo adaptativo para el estrés y la frustración.

Tipos de alivio
El alivio suele pensarse como un único concepto, pero cuando se pregunta a la gente por momentos en los que experimentaron alivio, la mitad de ellos hablan de ocasiones en las que algo podría haber causado un problema, pero finalmente no llegó a suceder (por ejemplo, la cancelación de un examen para el que no se estaba preparado), y la otra mitad de tareas complejas acabadas (por ejemplo, terminar de rellenar un documento complicado para solicitar una devolución de impuestos).

Para probar si  realmente hay dos tipos distintos de alivio, los investigadores crearon un escenario donde los participantes tuvieron que cantar una canción delante de un dirigente de experimento después de haber escuchado dicha canción una vez. A algunos de ellos se les dijo que finalmente no hacía falta que cantaran, pero el resto sí tuvieron que hacerlo.

En el primer caso la gente se concentra en cómo evitar que algo así pueda volver a suceder. En el segundo, se podría incrementar la resistencia ante tareas difíciles.

Reforzando la evitación
Otros haber también sugirió que el alivio puede reforzar evitación, por premiar la escapada de una situación tensa, el alivio podría ayudar crear evitación patológica y llevar a desórdenes de ansiedad. Por ejemplo, si una persona nerviosa tenía que hacer un discurso ante un grupo y esté se cancela en el último minuto, el alivio que sienta podría premiar la evitación, y su recuerdo del alivio le podría incitar para intentar volver a hablar en el futuro: por ello el miedo a hablar en público estaría mantenido por el sentimiento de alivio.

Suspiro de alivio
Se sabe que las ratas también suspiran de alivio. Como las cabras son animales sociales, los investigadores sugirieron que quizá el suspiro de alivio es una señal social a otras ratas. No sabemos si el suspiro es una señal social, la gente tiende a estimar que suspiran de alivio cuando están solos con la misma frecuencia que cuando no lo están.

Cuando la gente está enfrascada en una tarea difícil , como un rompecabezas imposible, suspira entre intentos o cuando abandonan.  Ya que el suspiro es una transición de un estado negativo a uno positivo, esto sugiere que causa una especie de "reinicio" emocional y fisiológico Si esto es cierto, explica por qué la gente nerviosa suspira más a menudo, y por qué se suspira más cuando nos enfrentamos a una tarea mentalmente difícil.  En estos casos el suspiro sería un intento de provocar un alivio psicológico. Basado en estos hallazgos,  se ha propuesto que los suspiros regulan la tensión y las emociones negativas, lo cual podría ser un mecanismo adaptativo para la ansiedad y el estrés.

The basic takeaway here is that cameras impact our memories — but it's not clear exactly how or why. One theory is that cameras, when they're not used mindfully, distract us and distance us from the present moment. We split our attention between life itself and using the gadget in our hands. Since you can't form a vivid memory without paying attention, it makes sense that we'd lose track of scenes we photographed.


On Wednesday, I set about reviving a VERY old sourdough starter, and I am VERY pleased to report that the experiment was a success.
So I decided to jump right in with both feet and attempt, once again, to make Maggie Glezer's sourdough challah. Last time, they didn't rise well and turned out dense and weird… let's see how it goes this time.
Starter – last night, I took some of the revived starter and mixed it with some bread flour and water to make the quantity of starter required for the recipe. It was actually below the level of the bottom line when first mixed (don't you love these containers?!); I took this picture before bedtime, two hours later, and it had already puffed significantly.
And by morning… here's what it looked like! An easy quadruple in volume, I'd say. Pretty impressive for a starter many people would have thrown out.
Here's the finished dough, sitting, well, like a lump of dough. She says in the recipe that it won't rise much during its first ferment, and, indeed, the dough looked puny when I went to form it into two challahs.
Meanwhile, in a panic this morning, I forgot that I'm taking Shabbos dinner – including challah – to people with a new(ish) baby. Well, I don't feel like running out to the bakery or even the grocery store for a Lenchner. And I'm not about to bring them a puny OR experimental sourdough challah (I only experiment on family), so I whipped up my standard "Jennifer's Reliable Challah" recipe, which I actually haven't made in probably over six months.

Settler leader: Netanyahu moving ahead with annexation plans
by: ARON HELLER, Associated Press
Posted: Jun 8, 2020 / 09:59 AM CDT / Updated: Jun 8, 2020 / 01:24 PM CDT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assured Jewish settlers that he is going ahead with plans to begin annexing parts of the occupied West Bank next month, a settler representative said Monday.
Netanyahu told a group of settler leaders late Sunday that President Donald Trump's Mideast plan allowing the annexation has not been finalized, Oded Revivi, mayor of the Efrat settlement, told The Associated Press. But Netanyahu said that once a final map is agreed upon with the Americans, he will present it to settler leaders individually, Revivi said.
Revivi was one of a dozen settler leaders who attended Sunday's meeting to support the annexation effort and offer a counterbalance to growing criticism of the plan among the prime minister's nationalist base.
Annexation of West Bank land has long been a dream of the Israeli settler movement.
Despite what is widely viewed as a pro-Israel plan, some settlers have voiced concern that Trump's initiative does not go far enough. They note that many settlements would be turned into isolated enclaves surrounded by Palestinian territory. They also reject the U.S. offer to recognize Palestinian statehood, albeit with far less land and far less authority than the Palestinians seek.
"This doesn't answer all our dreams but you have to keep it in perspective and see what the alternative is," Revivi said. "We have an opportunity with this president, this prime minister and this international climate and we have to seize it."
The schism in the settlement leadership burst into the open last week when David Elhayani, chairman of the Yesha Council, an umbrella settlers' group, told an Israeli newspaper that the plan was inadequate and proved Trump was "not a friend of Israel."
Netanyahu, fearful of upsetting his close ally in the White House, responded harshly, lauding Trump's friendship and accusing the settler leadership of being ungrateful.
Revivi, a senior figure in Yesha, said the majority of settlers supported the plan, even if they harbored some concerns, and were solidly behind Netanyahu.
Netanyahu and much of his nationalist base are eager to move ahead with annexation, especially with Trump facing shaky re-election prospects in November.
The presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, has said he opposes annexation.
The proposal also faces opposition in Israel, where many fear that annexation is a step that could lead to the creation of a single binational state with the Palestinians.
Channel 13 TV reported Monday night that Netanyahu's main coalition partner, Defense Minister Benny Gantz, has reservations about the plan. The report said that U.S. Ambassador David Friedman met with the two men in an attempt to bridge their differences.
Netanyahu has said he wants to annex parts of the West Bank, including the strategic Jordan Valley and dozens of Jewish settlements, in line with Trump's Mideast plan. He's lauded the move as a historic opportunity to establish Israel's permanent borders, without having to evacuate a single settler. Previous peace plans have all included far greater Israeli concessions.
A U.S. Embassy official, said the "the work of the mapping committee is ongoing." The official was not authorized to speak to the media on the record and requested anonymity.
Netanyahu's office declined to comment.
The U.S. plan envisions leaving about one third of the West Bank, which Israel captured in 1967, under permanent Israeli control, while granting the Palestinians expanded autonomy in the remainder of the territory. The Palestinians, who seek all of the West Bank as part of an independent state, have rejected the plan, saying it unfairly favors Israel.
They have already cut off key security ties with Israel and say they are no longer bound to agreements signed. The moves have raised concerns of a return to violence if the plan is carried out. Israel's defense minister has urged the military to hasten preparations for the country's planned annexation in apparent anticipation of what could be fierce Palestinian protests against the move.
The annexation plan has also come under harsh criticism from some of Israel's closest allies, who say that unilaterally redrawing the Mideast map would destroy any lingering hopes for establishing a Palestinian state and reaching a two-state peace agreement.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas is set to arrive in Israel this week and is expected to voice his country's displeasure with the plan. Next month, Germany will be taking over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union and will be assuming the presidency of the U.N. Security Council.

Ancient Persia and the West
Apr 25, 2018 @ 8:30 am - 6:30 pm
306 Royce Hall, 10745 Dickson Plaza
The Pourdavoud Center for the Study of the Iranian World and the Getty Research Institute are co-organizing a one-day symposium to be held on April 25, 2018 at the Pourdavoud Center, UCLA. Presenters will include invited speakers and the current Getty Villa Scholars, whose projects focus on the encounters of ancient Iran with the classical world.
The Getty Scholars Program at the Villa for the 2017–18 and the 2018–19 years address the political, intellectual, religious, and artistic relations between Persia, Greece, and Rome from the ninth century BC to AD 651. The Greeks viewed the Persian Empire, which reached from the boarders of Greece to India, as a vastly wealthy and powerful rival and often as an existential threat. When the Macedonian king Alexander the Great finally defeated the Persians in 331 BC, Greek culture spread throughout the Near East, but native dynasties—first the Parthian (247 BC—AD 224) and then the Sasanian (AD 224—651)—soon reestablished themselves. The rise of the Roman Empire as a world power quickly brought it, too, into conflict with Persia, despite the common trade that flowed through their territories.

Here are two great opportunities to share your experiences with other parents and professionals to help children diagnosed with hearing loss in the future.
My name is Emily Garrett and I am a doctoral student in the Department of Audiology at Towson University. As part of the research for my doctoral thesis, I am conducting a survey to evaluate parental experiences with services received during the diagnosis and intervention for their child with hearing loss.
Please take the time to fill out this survey regarding your experiences with the services provided for the management of your child's hearing loss. Answers from this survey will allow me, as a future pediatric audiologist, to shape my care and services to best fit the needs of the children and their families. I would like to be able to provide the best possible care as well as educate and encourage my future colleagues to do the same. I am hopeful that this study will educate otherer professionals and prompt them to make changes in their interactions with families. This program is more successful when there is parental involvement, positive parent/professional relationships and open lines of communication. Your valuable feedback is the only way to be able to effectively make a difference in the care and services for future children and families who will be participating in diagnostic and early intervention services.
I am writing to request assistance recruiting parents of deaf children aged 6-10 for my doctoral dissertation. Allow me to briefly explain my project. I am using online parent report surveys to study the manner in which parents teach their deaf children to regulate their emotions and what role parent-child communication plays in this process. I know that every family is highly individual and I am seeking to capture that individuality by asking parents to report on the kinds of behaviors and actions they engage in when helping their child cope with strong emotions. The project has been approved by the Gallaudet University Internal Review Board. All data collection is done over the internet and is completely confidential.
I sincerely appreciate your assistance in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.

Pleurotomella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.

Description
(Original description by Verrill)  As at present understood, this genus is intended to include those species which have a rather broad and very distinct subsutural band, crossed by excurved lines of growth corresponding to the form of the posterior sinus of the lip, which is situated a little below the suture and is always pretty well-developed, but is sometimes broad and shallow, and at other times narrower and very deep. The outer lip is always thin and sharp, without any appearance of a varix, nor is there any deposit of callus on the body whorl, in front of the aperture. The siphonal canal is well developed, generally constricted at the base and somewhat elongated, and usually but slightly curved. In a few of the species, doubtfully referred to hie genus, it is short and wide. The columella-margin is more or less sinuous. The protoconch differs in sculpture, and usually in color, from the rest of the whorls, and is generally minutely cancellated by fine raised lines running obliquely in opposite directions. The remaining whorls are elegantly sculptured by longitudinal ribs and revolving cinguli, and usually have a distinct shoulder or carina, which is frequently nodulous, below the subsutural band. The animal is destitute of an operculum, and, in all the species hitherto examined, is without eyes. The dentition consists of rather strong uncini, usually with a barbed tip and broad base.

(Description by Dall) The larval shell is multispiral. The adult shell shows a small blunt protoconch of several (usually) swollen whorls, closely arcuately axially ribbed. This protoconch is dark and sculptured with criss-cross lines, strongly contrasting with the rest of the shell. The succeeding short-fusiform whorls have an axial and (fainter) spiral sculpture. The anal sulcus is close to the suture, deep and wide, with a distinct fasciole. The siphonal canal is very short, narrow, recurved. The outer lip is thin, simple and sharp. The columella is thin, gyrate, anteriorly obliquely truncate, almost pervious. The animal is blind and lacks an operculum

There are many ancestral spirits behind the London Bees, but its earliest roots date back to a group of ladies working at Transport for London's District Line.
In the 1970s the women, looking for a team to play football, banded together and entered the Hounslow & District League – forming the platform for a remarkable rise.
Named in honour of their workplace, District Line Ladies FC appeared in leagues across Greater London before tasting promotion to the Women's FA National League Southern Division in the early 1990s.
It did not take long afterwards before the squad merged with Wembley FC – becoming Wembley Ladies FC and reaching their zenith in an FA Cup final defeat to Millwall Lionesses in 1997.
Meanwhile Barnet Ladies FC, established by Barnet director Graham Slyper in the mid-80s, had become officially affiliated with the men's club.
It prompted another merger in 1998 after Wembley's FA Cup finalists began to leave the club, including teenager and eventual England legend Kelly Smith.
Barnet FC Ladies have been a virtual mainstay in English football's top tier ever since before London Bees, a brand new franchise, was welcomed into the Women's Super League fold for 2014.
London Bees first ever fixture in WSL2 resulted in a 3-0 victory over Oxford United Ladies, with 16-year old Lucy Loomes scoring their first ever goal.
In 2016, the Bees experienced their best season to date, taking home a record points haul for the season as well as a historic run to the semi-finals of the Continental Cup, knocking out Chelsea en route.
The 2017 Spring Series saw the Bees get off to a great start and top the league in the early stages. A move to a winter season has seen changes both on and off the pitch.
Sian Osmond is currently the Club's Head Coach and she brought in almost an entirely new squad as the Bees entered into a new era in the FA Women's National League South.
Current vacancies will be posted here.

Face it. There are times when your partner will be upset with you. Maybe you'll know why they're upset, or maybe you'll have no clue what you've done to hurt them.
While you may prefer to feign ignorance and wait for happy days to come again if your partner is hurt by something you've done, research shows that tackling the issue head-on is usually the best course of action. Though it may be uncomfortable at first, cleaning up your emotional messes can lead to honest conversations that benefit your relationship in the long run.
Below are some simple ways you can improve your communication with your partner when they're hurt and avoid angry stand-offs and silent treatments.
Please note that this article is not about the hurts caused by emotional or physical abuse. If you are in an abusive relationship, please seek professional and legal help asap.
Why It's Important to Apologize in Relationships
Acknowledge Their Feelings
Don't ignore the situation or try to make a joke about it. You may not like how your partner feels, but you should still respect their feelings and show empathy.
All they want is to feel understood, accepted, and cared for by you. Like you really get them. It's okay if you disagree with their response. That's not the point. The point is to simply acknowledge their hurt feelings.
Think about how nice it is to hear the words, "I can understand why that would make you angry." That type of statement can make your partner feel heard and that it's okay for them to feel the way they feel.
Here are some examples of phrases that are not helpful and can actually make the conflict worse:
"It's not a big deal." It's a big deal to them, so it should be to you, too. It doesn't matter if you think your partner is overreacting. They're hurt because of something you've done, and now it's your job to make them feel better.
"I can make this better for you." Thinking you have the solution to your partner's problem or issue will probably be taken as patronizing. Your partner may simply want understanding from you, as opposed to comforting.
"You don't make sense." Your partner may have a different take on the situation, but that doesn't mean their concerns aren't valid.
"..." Saying nothing at all or avoiding the conversation won't help resolve the conflict. Instead, if you need a timeout or space to cool down for a bit, say so.
When you do something that hurts your partner, whether intentionally or not, it's always best to admit what you did wrong. If you're not clear on what you said that was hurtful, just ask.
It's important to show your partner that you know you made a mistake and that you're willing to take full responsibility for your actions.
This means avoiding annoying phrases like, "I'm sorry if you were hurt" or "I'm sorry you were upset." All these statements do is shift the responsibility from you to your partner. It's basically you saying, "You weren't supposed to get hurt/upset about something so tiny, but I'll apologize out of pity."
Instead, take responsibility for the hurtful things you said or did. Here are some helpful phrases:
"I know what I did was wrong. I wish I had thought before I acted. I made a big mistake."
"There's no excuse for what I did."
"The way I spoke to you was wrong, and I didn't realize how much I hurt you."
Whatever you do, don't get defensive! It will only escalate the argument or issue the two of you are dealing with.
Explain, Don't Excuse
Prefacing your apology with "I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses, but..." sends the wrong message. So does saying something like, "I guess I shouldn't have yelled at you, but I'm really stressed."
An excuse is about not taking responsibility. It's meant to deflect the blame to someone or something else. For example, "I guess I shouldn't have yelled at you, but I'm really stressed," is just an excuse. All it does it weaken your apology.
On the other hand, an explanation like this one gives context: "I've been under a lot of stress, but that's not an excuse for yelling." It gives your partner more background that helps explain why you hurt them.
Show That You're Sorry
While it's important to ask for forgiveness, keep in mind that your partner may not be ready.
Think carefully about what you can do to make things right. If you're not sure what would help, ask your partner what you can do to make them feel better. Token gestures, empty promises, and insincere apologies can do more harm than good.
You may not know what to do to make things better with your partner and that's okay. Tell them that! Make it clear that you're willing to do whatever it takes.
5 Steps to Better Apology
It can be difficult to heal a relationship after major hurts have occurred. If you feel stuck in your efforts to repair the damage, you may want to consider couples counseling.
Couples counseling can be very effective, especially if couples seek it out sooner rather than later. A counselor can help you identify destructive patterns and teach you how to communicate more effectively. Counseling may also give you insight into your partner's feelings and concerns.

What are the Characteristics and Functions of Harmones ?
April 4, 2022 August 9, 2020 by Markanday Shukla
Endocrine(ductless) glands that control, communicate, coordinate and integrate various functions of all the body organs, by the secretion of chemical messengers called hormones collectively constitute endocrine system.
Working alone or in concert as a single neuroendocrine system, they perform the same general functions. The endocrine glands secrete very minute quantities of chemical messengers called hormones (Gk. hormoein : to excite).
The hormones are released directly into the bloodstream. There are no ducts in endocrine glands, hence, called ductless glands.
Most their widespread despite distribution by the blood, are highly specific in their action. Cells that respond to a particular hormone are called target organ cells.
The science concerned with the structure and functions of endocrine glands, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of endocrine glands is known as endocrinology.
Two types of Nervous System
CHEMICAL NATURE OF HORMONES
Hormones are organic compounds of diverse chemical nature. Chemically, hormones may be proteinaceous (FSH, LH, TSH, etc.), peptides (ACTH, oxytocin, vasopressin, etc), steroids (sex hormones) or amino acid derivatives (thyroxine, epinephrine, etc.).
CHARACTERISTICS OF HORMONES
These are listed below:
Hormones are the secretions of endocrine glands. They are transported by way of blood.
They always act away from the site of their secretion. Their action is always at distant place called target organ.
They are secreted and required in very small quantities.
They are organic compounds of diverse nature and are soluble in water.
They may accelerate or inhibit specific physiological processes.
They are usually used up in their regulatory actions.
Specific action : Hormones are very specific in their action and they do not initiate chemical reactions.
Slow in action : The hormones are generally slow in action.
Feedback inhibition : Hormones usually work on the principle of feedback inhibition i.e. the secretion of a hormone is stimulated or inhibited by the end-product of its activity.
Prepare the body to cope with emergency: Hormones prepare the body to cope with the emergency conditions, such as, infections, trauma, fear, emotional stress, sexual desire, etc.
They are harmful both when secreted in excess (hypersecretion) or deficiency (hyposecretion)
The hormones are not stored in the body. They are destroyed and excreted immediately after their action.
Functions of hormones
Control and regulate metabolic activities.
Maintain homoeostasis.
Control and regulate morphogenic activities, e.g., growth, development, differentiation.
Regulate mental activities.
Control growth, maturation and regeneration.
Produce secondary sexual characters and regulate reproductive activities.
Control the activities of other endocrine glands.
Cause adaptations to external stimuli.
ENDOCRINE GLANDS IN HUMANS
In human, several endocrine glands are present. Some of them are purely endocrine in function and others are partly endocrine glands.
The purely endocrine glands (Holocrine) are pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal and thymus. Their sole function is to produce hormones.
Whereas partly endocrine glands (Heterocrine) in addition to secretion of hormones also perform some other functions. These include pancreas, gonads (testes and ovaries), lining of alimentary canal, kidneys, placenta, etc.
Various endocrine glands and their location in man. These endocrine glands are given below. The syllabus includes only the first four ones (given in bold). Hence, the other four are not discussed.
PITUITARY GLAND [Associated with Brain]
The pituitary is a small, red-grey, pea- shaped gland. It hangs from the base of the midbrain below hypothalamus. The pituitary consists of 3 parts :
(a) Anterior pituitary
(b) Intermediate lobe
(c) Posterior pituitary
It constitutes about 75% of the total weight of the gland. Anterior pituitary secretes 6 hormones- GH, LTH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH or ICSH, out of which except GH all others are tropic hormones. Tropic hormones are those which stimulate certain other endocrine glands to secrete their secretions.
Growth hormone or Somatotrophic hormone (GH or STH) : It stimulates the growth of bones and soft tissues of the body.
Prolactin (LTH) or Luteotrophic hormone : It stimulates the mammary glands to secrete milk immediately after the birth of a baby. Moreover, it also helps to maintain corpus luteum of ovary after ovulation, hence, called luteotrophic hormone.
Thyroid Stimulating hormone (TSH) : It stimulates thyroid gland to secrete hormone thyroxine.
Adreno Cortico Trophic hormone (ACTH) : It promotes and maintains growth and development of adrenal cortex and stimulates it to secrete its hormones.
Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH) : It stimulates ovarian follicles to start growth and to continue till the point It also stimulates the of ovulation. follicle cells to secrete hormone estrogen. In males FSH helps in the development of seminiferous tubules and spermatogenesis.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) : LH helps in the process of ovulation from the Graafian follicle and formation of corpus luteum in the ruptured follicle. It also stimulates corpus luteum to secrete hormone progesterone and estrogen. In males, it is called ICSH (interstitial cell stimulating hormone). It stimulates interstitial cells in the testes to develop and secrete testosterone (male hormone).
It is a small middle part of pituitary gland. It secretes hormone MSH (melanocyte stimulating hormone). This hormone controls the distribution of pigments in the skin.
Posterior lobe of pituitary serves as a storage area for the two hormones – ADH or antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin and oxytocin. These two hormones are secreted by the hypothalamus but released by the posterior pituitary.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) : It prevents the formation of large amount of urine and thus decreases the water loss from the body (conservation of body water). It can also raise the blood pressure by bringing about constriction of the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) in several tissues.
Deficiency of ADH causes diabetes insipidus (water diabetes). In this urination is frequent, resulting in loss of water from the body making a person become thirsty.
Oxytocin : It has two actions. It stimulates powerful contractions by the pregnant uterus during childbirth. The term oxytocin itself means swift childbirth. (Greek oxys-swift, tokos-childbirth).
It also causes milk ejection from lactating breast. Under its influence, alveoli release the milk into the ducts of breast.

THYROID GLAND [Associated with Pharynx (neck)]
It is the largest endocrine gland (5 x 3 cm) weighing about 25 g. It lies on the ventral and lateral sides of trachea just below the larynx in the neck.
It is brownish-red, butterfly shaped, bilobed gland, one lobe present on either side of the trachea. The two lobes are interconnected by a transverse glandular band called isthmus.
Histologically, it consists of about 3 million small oval or rounded thyroid follicles.
ADRENAL GLANDS [Associated with Kidneys]
Adrenal glands are located above the kidneys, fitting like a cap over these organs. The outer portion of the gland is called cortex, the inner substance, the medulla. These two parts function as separate endocrine glands and secrete different hormones.
Hormones of adrenal cortex
Adrenal cortex secretes many hormones, all of them are steroid in nature. They can be placed into 3 broad classes as follows :
(a) Mineralocorticoids : As the name indicates, these hormones regulate mineral metabolism; mainly sodium and potassium. Aldosterone is the hormone of this group and it increases reabsorption of sodium in the renal tubules. It helps in raising the sodium chloride content of blood.
(b) Glucocorticoids : They are concerned with carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. They are under the control of ACTH from adrenohypophysis. The main hormones of this group are cortisol and corticosterone. They have following biological action:
Effect on carbohydrate metabolism: Glucocorticoids raise the blood sugar level. The liver cells form glucose from non-carbohydrate source i.e. proteins and fats. This process is known as gluconeogenesis.
Effect on protein and fat metabolism: Glucocorticoids decrease the rate of protein synthesis. They also stimulate the formation of fat droplets from fats.
Effect on lymph and blood : Glucocorticoids cause the decrease in the number of eosinophils and lymphocytes, thereby reducing the antibody formation.
They prepare the body to cope with stress situation, thus they are anti-stress hormones.
(c) Sex corticoids : They stimulate the development of external sex characters in males. Adrenal androgen is the hormone of this group.
Hormones of adrenal medulla
The adrenal medulla secretes catechola- mines or emergency hormones. Adrenalin (epinephrine) and noradrenalin (norepine- phrine) are the two hormones of this group. Both adrenalin and noradrenalin act on organs and tissues supplied by sympathetic nerve fibres of the autonomic nervous system.
They produce most of the effects like those of sympathetic stimulation. They mainly control the contraction of involuntary muscles including the muscles of heart and arteries.
In man, adrenalin is secreted much more than noradrenalin. At rest adrenal medulla secretes a very small amount of hormones. But, a sharp increase in the rate of release of these hormones occurs during emergencies (fight or flight reactions).
For example, if there is a danger for life of an organism, it can react to this by running away (flight) for safety or by giving a tough fight to the enemy (fight reaction).
In general adrenal medulla and sympathetic nervous system function as closely integrated system called sympatheticoadrenal system. It shows a close co-ordination between nerves and hormones.
Adrenalin is also known as emergency hormone. It is secreted in large amount at the time of emergency. It helps to face physical stress like fall in blood pressure or blood sugar, muscular exertions (like dance and running), pain, cold, injury and emotional stress like anger, fear and grief.
PANCREAS [Associated with Liver]
Pancreas is both an exocrine as well as an endocrine gland. It is located just below the stomach in the loop of duodenum of small intestine. It is a flattened, almost triangular structure.
It contains two types of secretory structures i.e. acini (exocrine part) and islet of Langerhans (endocrine part). The islet of Langerhans are present in the connective tissue of the pancreas. Three types of cells are differentiated in the islet of Langerhans :
(a) Alpha cells (a-cells) : These cells secrete hormone glucagon. Glucagon converts glycogen to glucose whenever glucose level of the blood decreases. Low glucose level in the blood, exercise and protein-rich diet stimulates its formation.
(b) Beta cells (B-cells) : These cells secrete hormone insulin that converts glucose to glycogen (glycogenesis) in the liver and muscle cells. It helps to maintain the blood glucose level constant.
(c) Delta cells (8-cells) : These secrete hormone somatostatin which is a growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GH-IH). It inhibits the secretion of both glucagon and insulin.

Well, I was about to start writing something my first day, but there wasn't much to comment on. I didn't feel much different. I didn't notice a change much. My poison ivy was kinda getting better, but it really took a few days to get better. The question was then, "Well, are the drugs helping, or is the ivy getting better?" After being off the drugs for about 5 days now, I get random itching from time to time still. For the most part I'd say it's all gone.
On side note, I have a friend who's on oxycotton and percocet. Those might be more fun to try! Just kidding. Addictions to those types of drugs is not something I'm really interested in. Though it would make for an interesting blog series. I'll leave that for someone else.

Mike Matheny wants his players to be aggressive.
Make something happen. Put the opposition in a position that forces them to execute perfectly. Create game-winning moments by selectively pushing the envelope and counting on things to go awry.
So far, the Cardinals are aggressively blowing it.
Matt Carpenter, attempting to needlessly stretch a double into a triple with no outs when one run would make all the difference, is thrown out with ease at third. Tommy Pham is cut down trying to steal second in the bottom of the twelfth with the score tied, two outs, and the Cardinals hottest hitter – Jedd Gyorko – at the plate.
Yadier Molina is picked off after leaving too early for his own "sneaky" steal attempt that snuck up on no one. He's caught stealing again just two games later in another ill-advised attempt against Kershaw, eliminating a valuable and rare base runner against the game's stingiest pitcher in a one-run game. The gaffe ended the inning with Aledmys Diaz standing in the box.
And that's just the base running mistakes, because they stand out. There's also the disconnect between the front office and the manager.
But Matheny has a different view.
Perhaps because he's a manager, he tends to see all opposition as competing on more or less equal footing once they step on the field. They're talented, we're talented…now let's play. From that perspective, winning is closely connected to the extra effort your team can inject into a game. It's not necessarily the talent or make-up of your 25-man roster that makes a difference in season-long win totals. It's about what those 25 players do differently during the game that creates opportunities for the team to win.
Grind. Compete. Play a hard nine.
Those are the precepts of a Matheny-led team. To win, you make plays, generate runs, create opportunities, and force the other team to beat you by making tough plays. Mozeliak, however, pursues wins through roster construction. Bring together the most productive 25-man roster combination within reach of your resources.
The two approaches are not mutually exclusive. Not usually.
Ideally, the carefully constructed profile of the best 25-man roster takes into account the habits, skills, and personality of the manager that will lead them. In turn, the manager maximizes the roster he's given and adds the aggressive and extraordinary plays to the mix for that extra two, three, or more wins in a season.
That's how it's supposed to work. Two approaches working together to produce the most optimal results.
But every once in a while, the two are at odds.
Mozeliak is preaching clean, talented execution. Matheny is stressing aggressiveness and high-risk plays. The result is a talented roster good enough to win X amount of games but foolhardy enough to lose a handful of them. That's significant math when divisions and postseason berths are often determined by single game deficits.
The problem is simple. Matheny is preaching aggressiveness but is failing to specify when to be aggressive. When does a player push it, make something happen, and when does he simply let the roster play?
The fact that Matt Carpenter still stands by his decision to try for third base on a double is further proof that the message is muddled.
Mozeliak believes clean baseball with the roster he's assembled wins games. Matheny agrees but wants his players to be aggressive enough to maximize their potential.
That's a great message. Now, he just needs to be hard enough – La Russa like? – to specify what that means and directly rebuke players who misunderstand the message.
Be aggressive, but be smart. And when you lack one of those two, the manager is going to hold you accountable. Because above all, the front office demands clean baseball from the roster it's assembled, and that's enough to win ballgames.
Until that message is clearly and specifically driven home – instilled in the players on the field – the Cardinals will continue to muck it all up.
Time for Mike Matheny to be the bad guy – the heavy – and come down hard on players, even the best ones, who fail to grasp the message correctly.
Because what we have here is a failure to communicate, and that's messin' up the Cardinals' mojo.

Q: Create list of lists from list of numbers I'm working currently on a basic project, where I want to visualize later some data logged by some sensors.
I have a file with numbers:
75
0
0
30
35
32
38
45
53
44
51
62
43
34
56
42
28
32
43
56
43
46
16
33
48
...

And I want to create a list of lists, by every sub list will contain 6 element from the original ones, like [75,0,0,30,35,32],[38,45,53,44,51,62],...].
f = open("log2.txt", "r")
content = f.readlines()

# Variable for storing the sum
idx = 0

line = []
db =  []

# Iterating through the content
for number in content:
    print(idx%6)
    if idx % 6 == 0:
        #newline
        db.append(line)
        line = []
        print("AAAAA")
    else:
        #continue line
        line.append(int(number))
    idx += idx+1

print(db)

But the result of db is only [[]]. Why? How can I do it well?

A: Taking inspiration from another answer here, we can provide a solution with lazy evaluation.
def chunks(lst, n):
    """Yield successive n-sized chunks from lst."""
    for i in range(0, len(lst), n):
        yield lst[i:i + n]

f = open("log2.txt", "r")
content = list(int(line) for line in f)

list_of_lists = list(chunks(content, 6))

Here we don't keep intermediate data in memory and this approach can be used to process very large files.

A: Method 1(List comprehension):
You can create a list comprehension looping through the lines of f:
f = open("log2.txt", "r")
content = f.readlines()
l = list(map(int, content)) # Converting each line to integer.
l = [l[i:i+6] for i in range(0,len(l), 6)] # Creating lists of 6 elements
print(l)

For eg, if a file contains:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Then the output is:
[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]]

Method 2(Improvements in your code):
f = open("log2.txt", "r")
content = f.readlines()
line = []
db =  []

# Iterating through the content
for idx, number in enumerate(content):
    if idx % 6 == 0:
        #newline
        line = [int(number)] # You need to add that number too!
        db.append(line)
    else:
        #continue line
        line.append(int(number))
print(db)

Output:
[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]]

What were you doing wrong?

*

*Using a variable to keep track of the index. Instead, you can use enumerate() to get both the value and the index. Then you won't need to update or initialize idx.

*You were not appending the number when idx % 6 == 0.

A: f = open("log2.txt", "r", encoding='utf-8')
content = f.read()

content = content.split()
int_content = []
for i in content:
    int_content.append(int(i))

print(int_content)

final = []
# Iterating through the content
rng = 0
temp = []
for number in int_content:
    if rng != 6:
        temp.append(number)
        print(temp)
        range += 1
        continue
    else:
        rng = 0
        final.append(temp)
        temp = []

print(final)

A: There is much more simple way to do that:
f = open("log2.txt", "r")
content = f.readlines()

# now your content looks like this: ['75\n', '0\n', '0\n',...]
content = [int(x.strip()) for x in content]

# now your content looks like this [75, 0, 0, 30, 35, ...]

result = []
while content:
   result.append(content[:6])
   content = content[6:]

# now your result looks like this: [[75, 0, 0, 30, 35, 32], [38, 45, 53, 44, 51, 62],...]
# and your content variable is empty list

Letter to all supporters from CEO
@crawleytown
Michael Dunford on pitch problems and ticket offers
It has been a trying few weeks for everyone connected with your club.
As you are aware, we have only played one home game since December 29 because of a combination of the condition of our pitch and the exceptionally wet weather.
We all know that historically our pitch is a problem, not helped by the wettest winter since records began, and we accept that we must improve the main areas of concern on the pitch during the summer to give our players a surface that reflects our status as a League One club.
Having consulted with pitch experts, and in conjunction with our landlords Crawley Borough Council, we are starting a two-day programme at the end of this week, which we are confident will improve the poor areas of the surface, and allow the club to stage games as scheduled between now and the end of the season.
We recognise that calling off the Tranmere match on Tuesday so close to kick off has been an inconvenience to everyone, not least our supporters, and as a gesture of goodwill the board of directors have decided to offer the following:
All Crawley Town FC season ticket holders will be allowed a free additional ticket for the games against Tranmere (April 15) and Carlisle (April 29). Use voucher F for Tranmere and G for Carlisle when you come to the ticket office with your season-ticket book to claim your ticket.
Anyone who pre-bought a ticket for either Carlisle or Tranmere can also claim a free additional ticket for either game. If you are unable to attend on the re-arranged date we will exchange the ticket for another of our remaining home fixtures (with the exception of Wolves). Please bring your original match ticket with you to the ticket office.

Kaiser Permanente announces huge Baltimore-area expansion
Kaiser Permanente announced plans Tuesday a big expansion the Baltimore market as the health insurer triples the number of health care centers in the area and add tens of thousands of new patients in the next decade.
Kaiser said it would invest and spend a combined $13 billion by 2028 to increase the number of Kaiser centers in the Baltimore region to 15 from 5 in an effort to expand coverage to an estimated 200,000 people from about 64,000 today.
"Kaiser Permenante is a health system, not just an insurer," said Gracelyn McDermott, executive director of account management for Kaiser. "Our strength is in our integrated model, our coordinated care. Our physicians and providers work together to treat members. ... It's really about providing easier access to care not only where people live and work, and that access is what is going to drive member growth."
The insurer operates differently than other carriers in that it runs its own medical centers, employing hundreds of medical and other staff at each center, and providing primary and specialty services directly to patients in an effort to coordinate care and control costs.
Already a dominant carrier in the Washington suburbs, Kaiser has been growing aggressively nationwide and aims to expand its share of the Baltimore market, which is served predominantly by insurer CareFirst Blue Cross BlueShield.
Kaiser first came to the region in 1980 and has been growing steadily. For example, it announced in April it would open a new $247 million medical center in Timonium in the next two years with primary care, urgent care, pharmacy services, surgery and specialty care such as audiology, optometry and pain management.
Other centers opened in Anne Arundel and Harford counties and Baltimore City in recent years. Kaiser expects to open new centers Columbia, Odenton, Owings Mills, White Marsh and Baltimore, among other locations, though sites have not yet been chosen.
Jonathan Weiner, professor of health policy and management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said taken together the Baltimore-Washington area is Kaiser's third biggest market, though it's a distant third. The expansion could have a big impact.
"I believe the Mid-Atlantic region, and especially Metro Baltimore, is being robustly targeted for further growth," he said.
"After studying them for over 30 years, I can say unequivocally, this is a good thing for local patients, the economy and the health care system at-large," Weiner said. "Given how successful [Kaiser] has been in terms of achieving great care for modest costs, perhaps they will also shake things up a bit when it comes to other local health plans or delivery systems."
An issue, he said, is that Kaiser hasn't been so successful in attracting patient outside of California. That could be because new patients don't like the more limited choice of providers offered at Kaiser centers or contractors, compared with a wide network of providers allowed by popular preferred provider organization, or PPO, insurance plans.
Kaiser patients, for example, can't always tap services from the region's renowned specialists at Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland Medical Center.
Anthony T. Lo Sasso, an economics professor at DePaul University in Chicago, agreed that the limits on doctors can put off consumers who value choice, but just having a bigger footprint could induce enrollment.
Mostly, he sees the move as a "full frontal assault on CareFirst," with the local economy benefiting from the investment in new facilities.
"For consumers, it might mean lower prices, but often in healthcare markets you see providers competing on quality, or perceived quality," he said. "Under this 'medical arms race' hypothesis, cost, and prices, grow in the effort to woo new customers. So the bottom line is that I would think of this primarily as an effort to grab customers from CareFirst."
CareFirst officials said they were reviewing Kaiser's announcement.
Kaiser officials say, however, more all-in-one centers can increase the availability of services for the region and could improve health and reduce hospitalizations by increasing preventive care and ensuring maintenance of care for chronic conditions.
In addition to the 13 new medical centers, Kaiser also will maintain two multi-specialty medical hubs. One is open in Halthorpe and the second will be included in the center in Timonium.
Kaiser operates far more centers in the Washington area. The nonprofit California-based insurer already covers more than 430,000 people in Maryland. Kaiser serves about 12.3 million people in eight states and Washington, D.C.
A report conducted by the Sage Policy Group for Kaiser that also was released Tuesday found that Kaiser's expansion could more than triple its annual operating expenditures to $1.8 billion by 2028. It also could add 19,000 jobs in the region's economy, bringing its overall employment impact to 26,000 jobs, Sage found. Those jobs include those Kaiser employs, those who work at its partners and suppliers, and other jobs created by its and its employees' spending.
"Kaiser Permanente's unique model of health care delivery outperforms the majority of the marketplace, and when you apply that high level of care to the new members it will be able to reach, residents, businesses and the community have much to gain in terms of economic growth and overall health," said Anirban Basu, Sage's chairman and CEO, in a statement.
Al Redmer Jr., Maryland insurance commissioner, said the expansion would be good for individuals and businesses in the state because they would have more choices of plans. It's possible that more people would buy insurance if they found more plans they liked and were affordable.

Healing history: Justin Reid's homeward journey

This story originally appeared in the spring 2013 issue of the W&M Alumni Magazine. - Ed.
Justin Reid '09 leaned forward as he spoke in the old auditorium where, 61 years earlier, the students of Robert Russa Moton High School in Farmville, Va., decided to walk out in protest.
"This school, which was built for 180 students, had almost 500," he said. "They didn't have science laboratories; they didn't have a cafeteria. They were having makeshift classes in tar paper shacks. ... So 450 students, some of them as young as 12 years old, decided they'd had enough."
Today, the modest brick building houses the Moton Museum, where Reid works as associate director of museum operations.
A National Historic Landmark since 1998, it remains one of the most important sites of the modern civil rights struggle. It is also one of the least known — as Reid can attest, having learned little about it while growing up just a few miles away.
He is part of a small but determined team working to change that, and in a way that unites, rather than divides his hometown.
"We're a community still wrestling with, and coming to terms with, our role in history," Reid reflected. "Our battle wounds are still deep, and very real, and four decades of concealment and relative silence haven't helped us heal. The Moton Museum is inspiring a new movement of collaboration, openness and honesty. That's a movement I want to be a part of."
The two-week boycott that the students launched on April 23, 1951, landed the all-black school at the center of the national firestorm over school segregation. NAACP lawyers filed a lawsuit on the students' behalf that, three years later, became one of the five cases decided in Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling against school segregation.
Virginia's Prince Edward County responded in the extreme, closing its entire school system in 1959. The Supreme Court forced the schools' reopening in 1964, but nothing could restore five years of public education lost to thousands of students.
The Moton Museum, Reid explained, honors both the county's "walk-out" and "lock-out" generations. The museum is unveiling six new galleries this spring to tell their stories.
Last November, Reid returned to William & Mary with three lock-out generation members to give an oral history presentation at Swem Library. More than 100 people, including College President Taylor Reveley, attended.
Reid was both nervous and excited about bringing his work to the College. "It was really at William & Mary that I became conscious of what had happened in [Prince Edward County]."
He had enrolled as an undergraduate, he said, "pining for a career that would take me around the world." He started early, working in Tanzania over two winter breaks and spending a summer in South Africa.
Planning on a career in the Foreign Service, he declared his major in international relations. But he also began taking American studies courses "for fun," and wound up on a collision course with his hometown's history and that of his own family.
When Prince Edward County's story surfaced in classes about civil rights and constitutional law, Reid began asking more questions. He soon learned about his own relatives' decisions to leave the county because of the school's lockout, and about the close friendship between his great-uncle Warren "Kaiser" Reid and Rev. L. Francis Griffin. A local civil rights leader, Griffin filed the lawsuit that forced the county's schools to reopen in 1964.
Griffin is among those honored on the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial in Richmond, Va. Reid attended the memorial's dedication in 2008 before spending the summer studying in South Africa. It was an experience that, ironically, compelled him to look homeward even more.
"Here I was in post-apartheid South Africa, learning about the work being done there in terms of reconciliation and really coming to terms with history," he said. "This was something that I realized my own community was just starting to grapple with."
When he returned, he switched majors to American studies. "I slowly began to realize the things I cared about most — cultural sustainability and identity, community development, education — were things I could build a career around here, in my home community."
Reid joined the Moton Museum as special projects manager in 2011 and became associate director for museum operations last year. His duties are a daily changing mix of outreach, programming and event hosting.
Working at the museum, he said, has helped him to understand why his community has remained largely mum about its past. "There was so much hurt wrapped up in that history, you just didn't talk about it."
He and his colleagues are trying to frame that conversation in a way that encourages participation from all sides. "We say that this is not a black history museum," he said. "We view ourselves as an American history museum."
