"Soul Surfer," the feature film based on the true story of surfer Bethany Hamilton being attacked by a shark and her journey back to surfing, opened last weekend in the fourth spot on the box office charts - partly a testament to its appealing family-friendly message and a marketing campaign that heavily targeted religious groups.
But even though Hamilton and her family's faith plays a key role in the film, many audiences would be surprised to learn that the question of how to show their religion in the film caused huge debate on set.
"I think to get anything in the film was a battle," said Sarah Hill, Hamilton's youth group leader at North Shore Christian Church, who was played by Carrie Underwood in the movie.
"Basically, what you're doing is you have all these people who want to make a movie about Bethany and they don't know the Lord and they don't have a personal relationship with Jesus. For what we have in the movie it was such a battle."
In one scene, Hill's character is shown counseling Hamilton as she struggles with living as an amputee. She reads from Jeremiah 29:11 " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' "
The morning they went to shoot that scene, said Hill, who was on set often, "Twelve producers, me and the director were all sitting at the table and they all are just adamant about the Scripture not being in the movie. And they were saying at least let's not have the reference in it."
"For me it was a hill worth dying on to keep God in the movie," she said.
Tom Hamilton, Bethany's father, said, "In my heart of hearts I wanted as many Christians as we could get to play parts in the movie. They just have a different spirit about them. ... Craig T. Nelson, who is a really strong Christian and goes to our church in Kauai, I called him and begged him to be in the movie.
"A lot of the producers didn't want to go too overboard because they thought Christianity doesn't always sell well," Tom Hamilton said.
Kevin Sorbo, who plays Holt Blanchard, the father of Hamilton's best friend, said, "Sony (Pictures, the film's producer) was afraid to throw in the word Jesus. They said you can have God but not Jesus. They were worried about that.
"The studios, you can't really fight them," he said. "Hollywood screams for freedom of speech but only if you agree with them. It's a very two-faced industry."
Sorbo said Sony wanted to take out another scene in which Bethany Hamilton wakes up in the hospital. Her father, played by Dennis Quaid, is shown reading a Bible. He reads to her from Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."
Tom Hamilton said the studio rented a house for the family during the filming so they could be on set every day.
"They listened to us. We had some pretty heated discussions. Everyone saw how passionate about it we were, getting the message we wanted out there," he said.
Rich Peluso, the vice president of AFFIRM Films, a division of Sony Pictures, said the studio made no efforts to whitewash the Hamilton family's faith for the movie. He points out that Jesus is mentioned twice in the film and that the family's faith is central to the plot.
On set, he said, "There were certainly lots of discussions," specifically about the inclusion of Hill's character quoting Jeremiah.
"There were some that voiced the opinion that may have made it sound too faith-focused," Peluso said. "The counter-argument was, 'Well, if her character uses those words and doesn't attribute them to the Bible it seems like she's stealing them.' We came to the agreement the best thing to do was to use the Scripture there."
The biggest question the movie's producers were trying to determine was, "How do we have it come off (in a way) that is authentic to the family's faith and doesn't push it too far so that it appears to the viewer to be forced in?" he said. "We didn't want it to appear we were pushing in faith to appeal to the faith community."
The studio made a big push to attract faith leaders to the project, setting up screenings for pastors and ministry leaders. But it's hard to characterize "Soul Surfer" as a Christian movie.
Like the hit movie "The Blind Side," though, the characters in "Soul Surfer" are decidedly Christian. The movie opens with Bethany Hamilton rushing into a beachside church service because the Sunday morning waves were just too good to pass up.
"It's not that it's a Christian movie, it's an American movie," Peluso said.
In 2003, when a tiger shark attacked the 14-year-old Hamilton near Kauai, Hawaii, the story gripped the nation. Just three weeks after the attack, Hamilton was back in the water learning how to surf with one arm. A year later, she won a national surfing title.
Battles over how to portray religious themes in movies are becoming more common, as Hollywood becomes more open to addressing faith and marketing movies to religious audiences but worries about alienating nonreligious audiences or viewers from other traditions.
"After all the back and forth - and there's always back and forth - it's always best to err on the side of authenticity," said Michael Flaherty, the president of Walden Media, which has helped produced the Chronicles of Narnia franchise and other Christian-themes movies.
Today, Bethany Hamilton is a professional surfer. In 2010 she was ranked 23rd in the world. "The shy kid has gone on to have a legit pro surf career despite her massive physical impairment," Joel Patterson recently wrote in Surfer Magazine, "and, in the process, she's inspired uncountable people struggling against cruel twists of fate."
Hamilton has long been outspoken about her Christian faith and the positive role it played in her recovery.
"We work with a lot of films, but the Hamiltons have to live with this for the rest of their lives, so that balance was important to us," AFFIRM's Peluso said. "I think we threaded the needle after a lot of work."

Hello there, I found your web site by way of Google even as looking for a related subject, your web site got here up, it looks good. I have added to favourites|added to bookmarks.
@Mike I think the questions being asked leave a lot to be desired in beginning a conversation about whether thre is o is not a God. So lets look at this instead. As an Atheist one believes that there is no God. Thereby making themselves the captain of their own ship. There is also nothing to compel an atheist to try to argue the point. What does it matter if someone else believes in something that the atheist has avowed is a figment of their imagination. SO my question is why do you get on these blogs and write. Seems like a a waste of your valuable time as there are 78.5 years to live and every moment would then count. As A Christian our believe system states that if we believe the bible to be true and that there is a heaven and a hell then out of love we are mandated to share that truth so that a person who does not believe does not spend eternity without God.
Now one other thought. Most people would agree that Albert Einstein was a genius.From Wikipedia =Albert Einstein ( /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn] ( listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics, and one of the most prolific intellects in human history. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
In an interview he was asked based on his intellect what percentage of total knowledge did he possess? His response was less then 3% of total knowledge. My question to any atheist is this. What percentage of total knowledge do you possess? Anything less than 100% of total means that with in that realm which you do not know the possibility of God existing, exists. Thus rendering the atheist as an agnostic. Since an agnostic means they do not know then their lack of knowledge would leave them out of the conversation from any sort of authoritative opinion. Even Stephen Hawking who claims to be able top prove there is no God and is a brilliant man yet sadly delusional proves that he lacks the credibility to make the statements that he does. If Steven were the possessor of all knowledge then he would no longer be in his wheel chair and would have found the cure to his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is a direct result of the sin that is in the world through the disobedience of man.
One last thought science is only as good as the conditions and the facts that it has to work with. Science begins with a theorem and then attempts to prove that theorem based on observation. One can only observe what one can see. Years ago I had a school grade text book that showed a "scientific" experiment to prove evolution. A rag was left in the corner of a room. After several weeks a mouse appeared in that room from under the rag. (really???) Of course it was later discovered that there was a very small entrance that the mouse came in through. Thereby debunking the experiment in total.
In the article, Kevin hit the nail on the head with "Hollywood screams for freedom of speech but only if you agree with them. It's a very two-faced industry." When hypersensitive people want to take religious words and phrases out of a movie, they are dictating what they want others to say and do; thus, they are promoting communism. I happen to think Soul Surfer was an awesome movie. What is WRONG with having religious tones in that (or any) movie? Nobody is 'forcing' anybody to convert. Just go enjoy the movie...or don't go.
So God will send us to hell for making jokes about him? He's like THAT? I don't think so. I do believe in God, but I don't think it'd be anything like the prude, control-mad Christians and other mono-theistic religions paint it. Their version is obviously there to control-the-masses and enrich themselves off of the power.
When god wants to laugh he just looks at us.
The movie was great and very inspiring, not just because of her faith, but because of what she overcame when in reallity she had every right to stop trying and nobody would have blamed her, it's what a lot of us would have done. That being said there has been some discussion about 'sin' okay lets break that down, basically sin is anything that is wrong, and so any honest person would admit that durring their span of their life they have done at LEAST one thing wrong, if not a whole lot more. The consequences of doing something wrong, carries into eternity, you either get punished eternally in hell or you are forgiven because you have accepted the Ransom Christ paid on the cross, basically he paid the consequences for you, He 'did the time' so you wouldn't have to. Now to go a little further, you might say 'oh I'm not a bad person' and compared to others you might not be. But lets just say you said just ONE hurtful thing to someone else (most of us have said much more then just one thing) and perhaps that ONE thing caused that person to fall into a deep depressiion, perhaps even leading to suicide, now that one thing you said becomes a big deal, demanding justice from God. We in our lifetime have done hundreds of thousands of bad 'deeds' that demand justice and God is not only love but He is also just. So consequences have to be paid if he is to be just. That's where Jesus comes in, instead of you being punished to serve justice, He chose to be punished in your place. Amazing love (in my opinion), so now you can be free of the eternal consquences, but as they say 'the ball is still in your court', you still have a choice, do you accept the freedom? (By simply accepting the ransom, by simply believing in Jesus and following Him because he will lead you to heaven) Or do you reject it and spit into that very sacrifice. It's your choice. Not mine, not anyone elses, no one can make that choice for you. Now, that being said, please understand that true Christians will display God's love even when pointing out the wrong being done (just as a loving parent would do for a child), so if you have met some of our hypocrite counterparts, please read the gospels and see that these are the types of people Jesus spoke against.
"Atheists believe there is no God or gods either beyond or in the world. This is in distinction from theists, who believe God exists beyond and in the world, and pantheists, who believe God IS the world. Atheists claim that nothing exists except the universe or cosmos."
Any disagreements to the definition?
To the atheists that have commented I have some questions... If you don't mind having a respectful debate.
3. What is the basis for meaning?
4. What is the basis for truth?
5. What is the basis for reason?
6. What is the basis for beauty?
Answer 1: If God is the answer to Why is there something, then who created God? Oh right, he created himself. After uttering that, the rest of your reasoning is suspect.
Answer 3: The basis for meaning? Huh? Language is an expression of thought, though has menaing. Huh? I guess only God – only Guh-Awd has meaning.
Answer 4: Science is the study of truth. It is the acceptance of truths even if you don't want to believe in them, because they are repeatable demonstrations of cause-and-effect. Faith is the irrational belief of something even when repeated attempts to prove it offer contradictory conclusion.
Answer 5 and 6: I guess in the minds of the religious, only God has reason and beauty.
What kind of God would create beings that believe in irrational self-taughtologies? What woudl he be harvesting for his heaven, a bunch of idiots? How is that useful to him. I understand your reasoning in this situation is to say "we cannot understand God's ways", so ya maybe he needs a bunch of imbeciles to slave for him or something.
1. Virtual particles appear from nowhere, don't they?
2. Evolution has no basis for morality. It's whatever the person is compelled to do.
3. Reproduction and the survival of the human race.
4. To relate the the difference between fact and opinion. Truth is made true by true events.
5. To support or explain fact.
6. Beauty and the idea of it varies with different societies. Symmetry and scent play a role in what humans define as beautiful.

Q: UWP - How to bind a ContentPresenter's element to the main ViewModel? I work on an app where the user can edit a "big" form:

*

*The form contains a lot of fields: it is displayed in a Pivot, where each PivotItem represents a category of the form.

*Some categories contain one or more child items: they are displayed through a Master-Detail presentation.

To display the items of the Detail part, I use a ContentPresenter that is binded directly to the Model:
<ContentPresenter
    x:Name="DetailContentPresenter"
    Grid.Column="1"
    Grid.RowSpan="2"
    BorderThickness="1,0,0,0"
    Padding="24,0"
    BorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseLowBrush}"
    Content="{x:Bind MasterListView.SelectedItem, Mode=OneWay}">

    <ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
        <DataTemplate x:DataType="models:Form_Parts">
            <...>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
</ContentPresenter>

This works fine, but there is a "third" level in the main form: a list of photos, that I display in the ContentPresenter through a GridView. This works also great, but I would like to use an "Add" button or the "ItemClick" event to interact with the photos: I don't see how I could bind a Command in the main ViewModel, instead of the ContentPresenter's DataContext. The other fields of this form bind well on this ViewModel.
I did some tests without any result:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="1">
    <GridView ItemsSource="{Binding images}"
              ItemClick="{Binding PhotoClickCommand}">
        <GridView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Border BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1"
                        Padding="10"
                        Height="150" Width="190">
                    <Image Stretch="UniformToFill"
                           Source="{Binding bitmap_image}" />
                </Border>
            </DataTemplate>
        </GridView.ItemTemplate>
    </GridView>
    <Border BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1"
            Padding="10"
            Height="150" Width="190">
        <Button Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.AddPhotoCommand, ElementName=DetailsPage}"
                Height="100" Width="100">
            <Viewbox>
                <SymbolIcon Symbol="Add"/>
            </Viewbox>
        </Button>
    </Border>
</StackPanel>

=> is there a way to doing this?
Edit :
I solved my problem for the "Add" button thanks Alteik with:
<Button Command="{Binding ElementName=Root, Path=DataContext.AddPhotoCommand}" Height="100" Width="100">

But I always get a problem with the ItemClick of the GridView. I tried this:
<GridView ItemsSource="{Binding images}"
          IsItemClickEnabled="True"
          SelectionMode="None">
    <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <core:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="Tapped">
            <core:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding ElementName=Root, Path=DataContext.EditPhotoCommand}"
                                      CommandParameter="{Binding Mode=OneWay}"/>
        </core:EventTriggerBehavior>
    </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    <...>
</GridView>

But I don't get the expected parameter in the ViewModel:
private void EditPhoto(object sender)
{
    Images sImage = (Images)sender;
    if (sImage != null)
    {
        NavigationService.NavigateTo<CommentImageViewModel>(this, new Object[] { sImage }, true);
    }
}

The sender is the current Form_Parts (the DataTemplate of the ContentPresenter), whereas I would get the selected item of my images collection, that is binded to the GridView...
=> Whad could I do to fix this?

A: You should be able to change the DataContext in a child element doing this:
Command"{Binding ElementName=Root, Path=DataContext.TheCommandFromRoot}"

Obviously you need to set the name of the parent's element to "Root"

0091-79-3021-5355 | Monday - Saturday
04:00 pm - 06:00 pm (+5.30 GMT)
Romance will keep you occupied today. Monetary success will lead to peace and the other way round. You must be careful about expenses and buy only that stuff which you really need. Ganesha says this can save you from putting your money into some dubious schemes.
Yesterday ( 18-01-2020 )
Someone new in your life is going to make you smile; remember, however, that it doesn't always have to be fur and diamonds. A song sung straight from the heart makes a greater impact, says Ganesha. Today's the right time to go out and do things which will make you proud later.
Tomorrow ( 20-01-2020 )
You will remain undecided today, which is quite unlike you, says Ganesha. This will lead to speculation, which is not a bad thing by itself, unless you put all your money into the bargain. Also, be careful not to take wild guesses in love and relationships.

WE STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET TO SESAME STREET
A petition to have Sesame Street Muppets Ernie and Burt legally wed.
Some things are just mind-boggling. True, there have been jokes about the nature of those two characters for as long as I can remember (as far back as the early 80's in fact), which is a point I will get to in a minute. But why Burt and Ernie? Because they're two men who live together and happen to, having an undefined relationship, co-habitate? But why stop there? After all, wouldn't the more logical homosexual analogy be Big Bird and Mr. Snuffalopagus? After all, "Snuff" (a nickname which could carry its own disturbingly pornographic connotations) would "hang out" with Big Bird unless someone else would come near, and then he would conveniently "disappear" and hide (possibly back into his "closet")? Or reading this further, is Oscar so grouchy because he hasn't had any sexual intercourse? After all, what woman would want someone as dirty as him, wherein his only loved companion is "Slimy the Worm" (perhaps phallic symbolism regarding inadequate genitalia?); or how about Grover's unrequited affections for Kermit the Frog? Kermit almost always seemed embarrassed whenever Grover showed up. No one addresses Cookie Monster's obvious cookie addiction (possibly "Molly"-laced), or the fact that his eyes roll around as though in perpetual orgasm. Okay, to be fair Cookie nowadays does address the need of eating more wholesome foods, but it smacks of the type of speech given by a Betty Ford Clinic graduate, doesn't it? How about the Count's counting fetish? Is he only laughing when he reaches his "climax" count number? These permutations are absurdist and plentiful, yet arguments can be made that the subtext is there if that is what you want to see.
That said, I want to ask those of you who read this to take a moment to follow this instruction: Remember when you first encountered these characters as a child. When you were first exposed to E&B, did such considerations of sexuality cross your mind or did you accept the conceit as it was: two male puppets who shared an apartment and slept in separate beds? It's only after one gets an introduction and understanding of sexuality, with its requisite permutations that one starts to wonder/imagine as to the specificity of said relationship. We add on to our perception as our experience of the world grows. Hence, Ernie and Burt go from two guys who share a living space to [fill in the blank].
It isn't mind-boggling that the producers of Sesame Street recently issued a statement definitively quelling any possibility of a marriage, much less a homosexual relationship, between Ernie and Burt. That it was brought to that point is. While it's a show that can be enjoyed by all ages, at its heart Sesame Street is a show aimed at children; designed to stimulate not only a love for education and learning but also that of imagination…the latter of which obviously works if adults are engaging in tongue-in-cheek theories about the Muppets as evidenced above. But is it not selfishly self-serving to try to pigeon-hole these characters, who have gone for decades without such ultimately limiting labels, to one particular view point? After all, Ernie and Bert are, in a sense, the "Felix Unger" and "Oscar Madison" of the preschool world, but only in the sense that they bicker and share a living space. They're neither "Fred and Ethyl" nor are they a divorced couple (if they're even old enough to marry in-story, contextually).
The statement from the producers states: "Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves". No more, no less. Anything further can be extrapolated by a preschooler's, and even an adult's, imagination. Foundationally, they're two males who have a close bond and share an apartment on Sesame Street. That's it. It's just as arguable to say that "they're gay" to say "they're just best friends" (or even brothers, before the statement was issued). Not one interpretation is "better" or more valid than the other. That's the beauty of these characters. The vagueness of their relationship allows for the imagination to play, with each scenario as justifiable as the next. To classify theirs as LGBT is not wrong in a moral sense, mind you; however, it limits, and does a disservice to, the characters' ability to reach all children across all genders and of nascent orientation.
If such representation is warranted and required of Sesame Street, there is no reason for the producers not to go the Archie Comics route, wherein a specifically gay character was introduced; one who has received overwhelming acceptance (try turning Betty and Veronica into lesbians or Archie and Reggie into a gay couple and see how well received that would have been…at least by the parents). But imagination is all about construction, not destruction. So the issue here really is not whether Burt and Ernie are gay (and the producers flat-out stated that, as puppets, they're not real and, therefore, not sexually oriented) but that some want to push their own impression(s) or agenda(s) about such universal characters over that of others, is. Reverse discrimination? That's too extreme of a statement and probably not what the petitioners intended, but in the final analysis that's the implication. Perhaps the producers of Sesame Street will see this as an opportunity to reflect the popular zeitgeist and create a LGBT character in much the same way as they created an HIV-infected character a few years ago. Or, they can go along as they always have, and hope that the culture-at-large will remember the fact that this is a children's show wherein everyone, human and Muppet alike, get along and are accepted for who they are despite their differences (stated or otherwise), wherein those differences are not spoken of because, at the end of the day, in the context of friendship and good will, they're immaterial.
The petition only shows that we're still a long way from learning the lessons Sesame Street attempts to impart.

Tools Summit: Using Speecheditor on 'Diablo Immortal': A Versatile Tool To Edit Speech With Low Resources


This afternoon we crawled into the darkness of the tomb of Tutankhamun to discover the treasures inside. We were careful to only stay inside for ten seconds because of the poisonous gases that we might breathe in. We used torches to see in the darkness. When we came out, we drew pictures of the things we could remember seeing inside.


I'm continuing to play with black and white conversions of photos from my archive. The above photo is the latest image that I've played with and is one that was originally posted here and is also below. Check out the original and the new version – I'd be interested in your comments.

Exudative Retinal Detachment Following Central and Hemicentral Retinal Vein Occlusions
David Weinberg, MD; Lee M. Jampol, MD; Howard Schatz, MD; et al Kevin D. Brady, MD
From the Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Ill (Drs Weinberg and Jampol); the Retina Research Fund, St Mary's Hospital and Medical Center, and the Department of Ophthalmology, University of California, San Francisco (Dr Schatz); and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver (Dr Brady).
• We describe five eyes of five patients that developed an exudative retinal detachment following a central retinal vein occlusion (including one eye with a hemicentral [hemispheric] retinal vein occlusion). The time interval between the occurrence of the vein occlusion and the appearance of the retinal detachment ranged from 7 to 36 weeks in the four cases seen in the acute period. Each detachment involved the posterior retina and was associated with the development of marked retinal ischemia. Neovascular glaucoma occurred in two cases. The sub-retinal fluid completely or partially resorbed in the four eyes that were treated with retinal photocoagulation, but the final visual acuity was poor in all cases. Exudative retinal detachment is a potential complication of central retinal vein occlusion and in this series was associated with a poor visual prognosis.

In September, Allergan promised to keep price increases under 10% as part of a "social contract" with patients, and now it's making good on its word––barely. The company hiked prices on nine of its branded medications for 2017, with the new costs going into effect on January 1. In line with the company's vow, pricing on each of the products will be increased by either 9.0% or 9.5%.
As part of its "social contract," Allergan stayed away from any major price moves on products nearing the end of their patent lives. Moreover, the company has promised to raise prices only once per year.
Allergan isn't alone in its sudden interest in conservative pricing. Last year, as public and congressional outrage swirled around rapacious drug-pricing polices, numerous companies found the "10% pledge" appealing. In December, for example, Danish diabetes specialist Novo Nordisk issued its own promise to limit price hikes to single-digit percentages annually.
In a recent Wells Fargo report, analyst David Maris found that 373 band-name products garnered price increases of exactly 9.9% in 2016. One of the firms that toed the line was specialty pharma company Horizon, which posted 9.9% prices increases for its combo arthritis drug Duexis (ibuprofen/famotidine) and its gout drug Krystexxa (pegloticase).
"We believe the drug pricing debate is far from over," Maris wrote, noting that the issue could still be "on the table" as one of President Trump's legislative priorities.

Not many know that sometime in mid-2006, there used to be a Tsunami anthem song in Tamil language aired on few channels - composed by Usha Uthup, sung by her and singers like SPB, Chitra, Srinivas, Karthik etc. The information on the same here, and a related article by The Hindu as well.
Usha Uthup's words in the interview are worth noting, "People forget disasters very soon, because there is always another one around the corner and that is what is sad." What she has said is very true in terms of life in general. But the cynic in me has a view which digresses from the whole point of her composing the Tsunami anthem - it means the people or politicians of India or both maybe?

Despite the turmoil caused by the conflict across the Channel life had to continue across the country. Hertfordshire was no different. In every town and village workers continued their employment in trades and industries vital to both the war effort and keeping the country intact. Schools, pubs and social clubs continued to open their doors in a bid to maintain a semblance of ordinary life.
The stories of these war years, collected from local newspaper articles, images and diaries, tell of a county which experienced the full range of emotions over four years - grief at the losses, desperation as pressures on food supplies grew, joy at the Armistice to name but a few. This section of the site aims to tell just a selection of these very personal and very real stories which are as poignant today as the stories of those on the front line.
Outbreak of War
Upon the outbreak of war, the general population of both the county and country experienced a wide range of emotions.
As a county of some 330,000 people in 1914 it is perhaps not surprising that such diverse emotions such as; National pride, panic, fear, suspicion, excitement and apprehension all featured in the daily life of Hertfordshire residents during the late months of 1914.
Perhaps one of the lesser known issues prevalent in the early months of the Great War was the public suspicion aimed towards 'aliens' particularly those of German origin. The article here, taken from the Hertfordshire Express in late 1914 details the court appearance of Helen W Piotrowski, who was charged with being in possession of a Camera. As a German national she was not permitted such luxuries, especially ones that may be associated with espionage, and was fined in due course. While this particular article does at least have a lighter hearted approach, it is clear from other records that this was not always the case. The stigma attached to those with German sounding names was not one that was easily shaken off and contributed in large part to a huge amount of 'Anglicisation' of names that were commonplace in newspaper announcements such as the London Gazette throughout 1914 and 1915.
The eye of suspicion did not fall only on foreigners, but also on lifelong residents who happened to have a foreign sounding name or did not fit in with the general population. Malicious rumours related to espionage did not take long to spread and in a Chinese-whispers manner also gain embellishments along the way. Again, this could be incredibly distressing for those involved and also contributed, in 1914 at least, to a general feeling of unease and suspicion toward strangers in county communities.
The article here is the result of the targeting of one Mr Opperman who was a victim of the Great War rumour mill. As it happened, he was one of the very earliest and most well-known residents of his town, Letchworth Garden City. Mr Opperman clearly felt that these rumours were so harmful that he needed to address the issue directly with an appeal to the local paper.
Thankfully as the war progressed these occurrences became less frequent, largely due to the general population 'settling in' to a wartime existence, however, espionage was not the only issue that affected Hertfordshire's society shortly after the outbreak of war.
Enemy Aliens
Hertfordshire as a county was home to many foreigners before the outbreak of the Great War, including a healthy population of German ex-patriots. According to war-time governmental policy these German civilians were rounded up and detained in locations where they could remain and not constitute a threat to the country or native population. Hertfordshire was no exception in this manner. The article (below) describes how the local police Superintendent dealt with the tasks he was set.
The cultural and ethnic diversity that Hertfordshire enjoyed before the First World War was a source of pride to many in the county, and in most instances both the local authorities and the papers sought to dispel any myths or potential divides within those communities. Unfortunately, in the case of Libury Hall, a German Farm Colony, this was not always possible.
The following article (below right) relates to Libury Hall in the early months of The Great War.

The behind-the scene pictures that we have seen before? It was for T-ara BoRam's pictorial for BNTnews.

Happy 2017! We hope the start of the new year was restful and rejuvenating for you and your family! (It definitely was for us 🙂 ) We're spending the first few weeks reminiscing about 2016 so that we can plan for 2017 in a strategic way. I highly recommend doing something like this yearly whether you're goal setting just for yourself in your personal life, your professional life, or if you are working on a side hustle! If you haven't heard about Powersheets or anything about intentional goal setting, you HAVE to read this blog here first. I'll wait.
What a way to start off a list! We didn't have too many expectations about what our business would look like during past this wedding season, let alone next! But we did know that whatever happened this year, we would use that knowledge to be smarter in 2017, to refine our processes, to grow (in whatever way that meant for us), and to serve our couples in an even better way!
With that being said, we are carving out our niche and we are solidifying our path as a small wedding planning boutique providing personalized services to each and every couple. Basic Bash will probably never produce more than 20 weddings a year because it's not for us! We focus on quality over quantity and top-notch service over cranking out multiple weddings in a weekend! We are proud to say that we know and love each and every one of our couples and are thankful that they chose us to be a part of their weddings!
STYLE AND COORDINATE 2 STYLED SHOOTS!
We completed two beautiful styled shoots this year!
The first was in Des Moines, Iowa and you can see our recap here!
The second was a prairie inspired shoot that will be featured on the Rising Tide Society's blog very soon!
We attended the Creative at Heart Conference in Denver this year as a team! This was such a wonderful learning experience for us to grow together personally and professionally.
EVOLVE OUR BRAND AND PERFECT OUR SIGNATURE STYLE!
We made quite a bit of progress on this, especially with our month-of coordination process. I can tell we'll be taking big steps on our systems and will hopefully be completing this goal in 2017!
STOCK UP ON WEDDING DAY SUPPLIES!
Yes! Our emergency kit is fully stocked and it stood the test of real weddings. Notable items that came in handy this year: band-aids, bobby pins, steamer, lots of tape, and scissors.
STRENGTHEN THE PRESENCE OF #COMMUNITYOVERCOMPETITION IN OMAHA BY HAVING 20 ATTENDEES IN A TT MEETING!
Our TuesdaysTogether group is growing to be a tight-knit group rather than a large community and we're brainstorming ways for us to meet halfway. I love our TuesdaysTogether group and how we all can come together and lift eachother up and it is amazing to see the transformation taking place in the creative industry!
MEET MORE AMAZING PEOPLE IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY AND IN OMAHA!
We met so many talented people this year!
BLOG CONSISTENTLY AND INCREASE THE QUALITY OF OUR POSTS!
Yes, blogging takes time and lots of effort to see results but it eventually gets easier to produce better posts!
ENLIST THE HELP OF AN ACCOUNTANT OR TAX LAWYER!
Yes, we just barely made this happen right at the end of 2016!
CREATE AND LAUNCH OUR BUDGET BRIDE PACKAGE!
The Budget Bride package idea is going under some major revisions so we're not ready to reveal any more info just yet!

The art of marketing specialized workforce programs for economic growth
North Carolina's biotechnology industry is a success story, built on 30 years of steady support for its development. It is ranked as the third-largest cluster of biotech, pharma and life sciences companies in the U.S., following only California and Massachusetts. It generates almost $60 billion a year. But in the early 2000's, biomanufacturing and biopharmaceutical companies in the state were facing difficulties. The state's capability to train sufficient numbers of workers with the specialized skills and knowledge needed to work in complex, highly-regulated biopharmaceutical manufacturing environments was limited. Companies were poaching each other's workers, driving up the cost of business and limiting the companies' ability to expand. This also negatively impacted companies that had a patent clock ticking down. These workforce challenges were costing billions. The post below outlines how the team at Integrated Media Strategies played a key role in addressing this challenge and helping North Carolina to grow its economy.
We build enterprise-capable websites and provide integrated content marketing and communications services to help organizations obtain better business results.
We provide training, guidance, strategy, and can either implement communications strategies or mentor staff so that these functions can be done effectively in-house.
We also do a lot of consortium-based work where organizations have to work together to accomplish goals and outcomes they can't by themselves. Consortium work includes higher education grant initiatives, economic and workforce development, industry partnering and change management. We've herded a lot of cats in our time.

Not everyone grows up with a father who owns an entire closet of western boots. Then again, not everyone grows up in the back of an independent shoe store. My childhood smells like shoe leather and cardboard boxes. It's not such a bad memory.
My first job as a teenager was as a Saturday "runner" for the shop, pulling shoe boxes to bring to busy salesmen. I also provided the important duties of lunch delivery and coffee procurement. It was an interesting first peek into my family's business.
After college, shoes were on my feet, but not on my mind. After working in several fields (including back at the family's store), I started attending shoe trade shows with my father and loved it. A few years of plotting and scheming later, the idea of bringing a women's footwear boutique to downtown Bangor became a reality. The enthusiasm for quality products and local business in this area is really wonderful, and I am so excited to be a part of it!
My father's family lived on Valentine Avenue in The Bronx, New York City, in the mid-1900s. My grandparents both worked in retail: men's suits and women's clothing, respectively. My dad started his long retail career by working at a typewriter shop as a youth.
Later, Dad moved to Maine and worked in many positions in the Maine footwear industry. Eventually he and my mother started their own business, Winterport Boot Shop, an industrial footwear specialty store.
Naming my business after my paternal family's New York retailing roots is a meaningful connection to the multiple generations of shopkeeping in my family. Though it's not my personal name, I have had customers call me "Valentine", and I have answered to it!

How did I gain 5 pounds in 3 weeks? she wonders as she takes another bite of her second breakfast. Whoops. I could blame it on Baby Girl (don't worry, she has a name), but she weighs .8 pounds. And she's definitely doing her part in terms of exercise, so much so that my doctor told me to invest in some ritalin. She's ALWAYS moving. Yesterday we had another ultrasoud. Baby Girl is still a girl (phew). Everything looks good, or at least that's what Doctor N said. From what I saw, she looked part Extraterrestrial and part fish. I'm really looking forward to seeing her actual face, not a foggy picture on a computer monitor. But even the grainy image is so exciting to see. As is my swelling belly, my jeans that no longer fit, and the paint we picked out for the nursery. It's real now. 21 weeks down, 19 to go. That's downhill. Am I terrified? Totally. Not only of labor and birth, but also of raising a child. I have no idea how to do that. I don't think I've even held a baby in the past three years. I've tried to practice with Ollie, but he's not such a fan of being swaddled. Or burped. Turns out dogs don't burp. Anyway, I'm assuming this is a sink or swim scenario, and we'll figure out parenting as we go. Not to say that I'll turn down advice. In fact, who can recommend a good parenting book?
I read book upon books about books about parenting and to be honest, I'm not sure if anything really helped. It is very much a figure-it-out-as-you-go type thing, or at least it was for us. Plus, what works for others won't necessarily work for you. You guys will be great, though. You're both smart and loving and you want to do a good job. That's pretty much all you need.
Agreed with Erin--it's a figure-it-out-as-you-go kind of thing. But guess what, you probably have maternal instincts just waiting to come out. You had a mom, you saw how she did it--or didn't--and you can do it!
But, hands down, the best parenting books I have are: Baby Blues (you know, the comic--a must-have for parents, get all of them if you can), and The Mother in Me. They're not about what to do and how to do it, but reading them will help you know that you're not alone, and they'll make you laugh--which is priceless.
You'll be a great mom.
Erin, you're nice, and I hope you're right.
Rach, I think I will definitely need to laugh, so I'm for sure getting those books.

Telematic Technology to replace vehicle tax and fuel duty

With the price of fuel hurtling towards £2 per litre, all of a sudden your Wetherspoons breakfast isn't the most expensive part of your Saturday morning ride. And whilst it's still utterly sickening, hearing how many billions of pounds profit the oil companies make every year, we're still paying the government 57.95p in fuel duty (even after the recent 5p cut), as well as the 20% VAT, for every litre of petrol (or diesel) we use. It's getting silly. And then of course there's road tax which varies massively, from zero to hundreds of pounds a year, depending on what you ride (or drive).
We're all paying Her Majesty's Government handsomely for the privilege of driving on her roads, but some are paying a shed load more than others, and a few people are getting pretty pissed off about it.
If you've got an electric vehicle, you won't pay road tax (or Vehicle Excise Duty to give it its official name). You also won't have to pay the extortionate fuel duty at the pumps. That's obviously one of the incentives of owning an electric vehicle; incentives of which there isn't a very long list where electric bikes are concerned. Obviously, thanks to the price of household electricity skyrocketing, EV owners aren't without their own issues at the moment.
The Big Issue
But the big issue, as far as the roads go, is this. There were more EVs sold in 2021 alone than there were in the five years before that, put together. And in ten years' time, there are likely to be more EVs on the road than old fashioned, gas guzzling ones. At the moment, the government's revenue from fuel duty and road tax is £35 billion a year. That's 4% of all of the tax receipts in 2021. When internal combustion is banned, under the current fuel duty and road tax rules, that £35 billion will be a lot closer to zero. So unless the government are happy to lose £35 billion a year, they're going to have to do something different.
The long and short of it is this, eventually drivers of electric vehicles are going to have to contribute, in one way or another, whether they like it or not. And I'm going to assume they're not going to like it.
The Commons Transport Select Committee have suggested an alternative road charging mechanism; one that uses 'Telematic Technology' to charge drivers depending on how many miles they've driven. Presumably this would involve having a tracker in all of our vehicles, and I would hazard a guess they'd quickly come up with a way of charging you extra for breaking speed limits, but that's another story altogether.
Revenue neutral
They've said that should the new tax system be implemented, it "must entirely replace the existing setup rather than being in addition to, and be revenue neutral". I.e. nobody should pay more than they are doing now.
Clearly, some people will end up paying more i.e. electric vehicle owners. But it might mean that, if fuel duty wasn't payable at the pump, as it is today, fuel prices could be a lot more tolerable. In the grand scheme of things, if all you do is ride on the road, it might not make much of a difference. But if you're an avid trackday rider, or you ride off-road, you might find that you're hobby is all of a sudden a little bit cheaper. Although I wouldn't hold your breath.
