How Do We Ensure True Involvement?
About Hear Us
Hear Us / About Us / How Do We Ensure True Involvement?
Our service users are predominately residents in the London Borough of Croydon but we also support service users who receive services from SLaM who are not resident in this borough. To access our services, our key requirement is that someone has a severe and enduring mental health condition.
Last year – 2018 to 2019 – we reached nearly 3,700 people (3676) with the vast majority in receipt of SLaM services. We know this as we record ethnographic and other data for all service users.
How We Engage
We consult with our service users regularly who are keen to have their say in service design and delivery. Since all our trustees, staff and volunteers have lived experience of mental illness, we strongly support the involvement of service users in the design and delivery of any project. We also include our service users in project development.
One example of this; once a year at one of our Open Forums, we run focus groups for all service users, to find out what subjects/topics they would like to cover, and what guest speakers they would like to invite for the coming year. In addition to this we feedback on the plan at the next Open Forum.
We evaluate everything we do for its impact on our service users. We involve everyone regardless of mental illness and refuse to discriminate based on behaviour which is often brought about by their situation. The monitoring and evaluation section details how we actually do this through meaningful involvement in their care, treatment and financial support as well as determining what they want to see in terms of both our services and the services provided by statutory and other voluntary agencies and how they want to receive communications.
How People Find Our Services
A key resource is our 'Guide to Croydon's Mental Health and Wellbeing Services' published for anybody – those experiencing mental health problems, carers and professionals alike – as a comprehensive, up to date, information guide which covers all of the London Borough of Croydon's mental health and wellbeing services. This extensive guide includes statutory and voluntary services, details of our peer support and social groups, and much other useful information; and is on both our websites.
Our websites www.hear-us.org that is regularly updated and full of useful information e.g. Hear Us' Peer Support sessions. We find that many people use it, including carers, professionals and the wider public. We regularly receive feedback from people who have used the website and the impact of the information available on their lives. We regularly post to Facebook and other social media to demonstrate the work we do. We also have a comprehensive On-Line Guide to Croydon's Mental Health and Wellbeing Services www.guide-hear-us.org
How We Work with Others
Hear Us believes strongly in partnership working to provide maximum holistic support but we also acknowledge our specialist skills and experience enable us to support our service users as we are 100% service user led and run. We work closely with the organisations listed, across a range of projects, and in different guises, to support users.
Frequent and regular referrals for service users come from: Croydon's Community Mental Health Teams (Consultant Psychiatrists), Croydon GPs, Probation Service and Specialist Housing Support Schemes; specialist organisations users with complex forensic histories, Turning Point (clients with drug and alcohol issues) and many other organisations sending people seeking to access relevant social or leisure activities as well as peer support.
During April 1st 2018 to March 31st 2019, we helped over 3500 service users and their families, friends and professionals. We linked those with mental illness who wanted to help a service user find social and leisure activities; be able to travel easily (freedom passes & blue badges support); get relevant expert peer support to address welfare benefits issues; or simply help them find a safe space where they will be supported, listened to, and engaged into the wider community.
We achieve this by having strong ongoing two-way relationships with various statutory agencies. One particular one to highlight: Croydon Jobcentre refer clients to us whom they identify as having additional emotional health needs and in return they provide additional expertise to ensure service users get the best possible outcome (welfare benefits). We feed in to the work of South London and Maudsley NHS Trust (SLaM) both operationally and strategically and have regular meetings with Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to review the work we do and the impact on service users.
Sitting within the voluntary sector; we have regular valuable contact with day centres; such as Imagine Day Services, (our peer navigators help their users with benefits. In return we refer service users to them for day support); Mind in Croydon and Association of Pastoral Care in Mental Health (APCMH) (we work side by side to help more complex welfare benefits cases); and Status Employment (they help our clients find work experience or employment, and we return the favour through welfare benefits).
We are also pleased to have good referral partnerships with organisations that enable us to concentrate on our user consultation, engagement and involvement work whilst being reassured that our service users are getting the additional expert support they might need. Organisations such as the Citizens Advice covers Housing & Debt; Food Banks provide nutrition; Christians Against Poverty support those with serious debt, the South West London Law Centre (Croydon / Sutton) deal with expert legal matters e.g. tribunals; and Active Minds take our referrals for sports.
Finally, we also attend regular meetings with a wide range of agencies and partnerships to ensure the needs of those with severe, enduring mental illness are heard and addressed across Croydon. We sit on the Mental Health Programme Board and Mental Health Transformation community Pathway Delivery Group as a service user representative. We influence the design, commissioning and delivery of mental health services. We have had a big influence on the plan to introduce hubs as part of the CCG's transformation work.

Fresh off a Grammy win for Best New Artist, Bon Iver, aka Justin Vernon, continues to please listeners with his dynamic voice and soothing rhythmic swells. Yesterday, the critically acclaimed artist uploaded a live studio performance in collaboration with 4AD and Jagjaguwar Sessions to his band's youtube channel. Singing alongside bandmate Sean Carey, the two perform a series of awe-inspiring songs that will leave speechless. Sitting at a lengthy 25 minutes, it's nearly impossible to hit the pause button, so plan your viewing accordingly.


There are 15 Carefree RV Resorts in Ontario. They're all located in the southwestern part of the province, and most are within a two hour drive of Toronto. Some of them are huge, and have a lot of amenities. We think they're mostly geared for families who want an "all in one" resort experience.
The first resort we're going to tell you about is called Sherkston Shores. It's located 90 minutes from the city of Toronto, and only a few minutes from the U.S. border at Buffalo, New York.
Americans have such a positive benefit in coming to camp in Canada this summer, with nearly a 20% currency exchange gain when turning a U.S. dollar into a Canadian one. And, we're going to tell you about a way to save yet another 20% for readers of Travel with Kevin and Ruth.
Sherkston Shores is located in Ontario, but just west of Buffalo, NY on the north shore of Lake Erie.
I expect that families love this place. Huge heated pools, waterslides, a splash park and two miles of sandy beach front. Activities for kids, and family bonfires with hotdogs and smores provided. And activities for moms and dads too with wine tasting nights, live music in the lounge, and a Father's Day fishing tournament. Lots if activities on the calendar for everyone.
Spacious 50 amp RV sites in the "premium" section of the resort.
Looks like they have a beautiful beach.
Use promo code Blog20 for tent and RV Sites.
Use promo code BlogRT for cabin and cottage rentals.
Not a bad deal, especially for Americans coming to Canada.
Next up is Willowood Resort. Only 20 miles from the U.S. border at Detroit, Michigan.
In Canada, but only 20 miles from Detroit.
Willowood's family-friendly grounds feature a playground, horseshoe pits, sand volleyball courts, an outdoor movie theater and miniature golf course. Guests keep cool relaxing and swimming in the large pool, the kiddie pool and the splash pad area. There's even an arcade room to entertain the kids on rainy days. And there's a whirlwind social calendar that includes story time, chocolate bar bingo, crafts, potluck dinners, dances and movies.
They have a pretty good deal at this place for anybody who wants to stay for a while. Up until June 27th, it's $600 for 6 weeks.
Not sure that Willowood fits the "resort" moniker quite like Sherkston Shores does, but it does look like a nice wooded campground.
With 329 RV sites as well as cabins and park model rentals, Willowood has camping arrangements to suit every family and budget.
Carefree is offering a special offer exclusive to you - 20% off daily rates on RV sites, cabins and vacation cottage rentals at 14 of the Ontario Carefree RV Parks. This promotion is valid from May 1- June 30.
WOW Kevin you've got some real deals here for those who can get up to Canada especially before June 27. $600 for 6 weeks is amazing.
Yep, and that's only $480 USD for six weeks.
I used to work with a lady who, along with her husband, lived at Sherkston Shores. They would commute daily to Burlington. She worked with me, and he worked at a high school. They loved it, but I couldn't get my head around that commute. I've only been there once for a visit, and it looked like a neat place.
I don't think we have ever been to Sherkston Shores before, I guess if we re ever in that area we will have to check out the town.
Wow, that would be one heck of a commute to have to do each day. Don't think I could do it!
Went to book one night at the Willowood for June 20th. If you use the book now option which takes you to the carefree reservation page the Promo code field only allows for the entry of 6 characters.(The promo code is 7 characters) If you use the calculate rates page for the site, then enter the promo code the site returns a, "Promotion code is invalid or unavailable." error. Using the calculate rate pop up window and continuing the reservation you get to the carefree reservation page. On this page you get a, "Stay length must be at least 2 nights." message. So changing to two nights for a standard rv site( FHU only 30 amp) with taxes the total is $119.78 CDN. There is a note on the page, " Please call Willowood at (519) 736-3201 if you need assistance with making your reservation." I guess I could call them to see if they give me the 20 percent deal, but still with 20 percent off it certainly is no deal. I think I will overnight it at the local CTC store. *smile* You might want to check with Carefree about the promo code length they gave you for the write up. Seems their hotel reservation software they use only allows 6 characters.
The company admits there was a hiccup, and they apologize profusely.
New promo codes are Blog20 for RV and campsite rentals, and BlogRT for cabin rentals.

UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN SENATE ELECTS NEW VC
November 30, 2020 - by genuinereportsng - Leave a Comment
BY Olufemi Olaniyi
The Senate of the University of Ibadan has elected Prof. Adebola Babatunde Ekanola the new Acting Vice-Chancellor of the university.
Ekanola, who is the current Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academics was elected on Monday – the same day the tenure of Prof Idowu Olayinka expired as the VC of the 72-year-old university.
Sources at the meeting, where the election took place, said Ekanola scored 275 votes to beat four other professors nominated for the position.
Prof A. Oluleye was said to have scored 80 votes to come second while Prof Adigun Agbaje polled 15 votes to place third; Prof Gbemisola Oke polled 14 votes and Prof Olanike Adeyemi got 13 votes.
After the selection of a new VC for the university was embroiled in crisis, the process was cancelled and a fresh one was ordered by the NUC.
The fresh process, which is ongoing, is already embroiled in a fresh crisis.
With this, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, asked the Senate of the university to appoint an acting VC.
The Director, Public Communication, University of Ibadan, Olatunji Oladejo, confirmed the election of Ekanola to our correspondent.
He said, "It is confirmed that Prof Ekanola, current Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academics has been elected the new acting vice-chancellor."

Historic Rules Take Effect to Stop Elephant Poaching
African elephants and rhinos continue to be ravaged by ever-more sophisticated ivory poachers, but serious action is finally being taken to stop it.
In 2013, President Obama issued an executive order to stop the poaching, and today, the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) announced regulations that will help get us there.
As of July 6, Elephant Ivory can't be sold anywhere in the US and can't be imported or exported. It allows for very limited exceptions for antique ivory over 100 years old and for musical instruments, furniture and firearms that contain tiny amounts of ivory.
"Since we proposed this rule in 2015, we received more than 1.3 million comments from the public, demonstrating that Americans care deeply about elephants and overwhelmingly support African elephant conservation," says Dan Ashe, Director of FWS.
"Given the unparalleled and escalating threats to African elephants, we believe a near-complete ban on commercial trade in elephant ivory is the best way to ensure US domestic markets do not contribute to the decline of this species in the wild," he says.
States Too
California also banned ivory sales as of July 1, including most antiques, with penalties up to $50,000 and one year in prison. In addition to bans, New York strengthened penalties and New Jersey closed loopholes. In Washington state, voters approved a ban through a referendum that applies to all wildlife trade, including body parts from lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, sea turtles, sharks and rays.
In other states, the NRA and other pro-ivory groups have managed to block such measures, such as Oregon and Illinois. In Congress, Republicans attempted to insert a provision in the Interior Department's budget, blocking the regulations announced today.
"People want to protect elephants, rhinos, and other creatures. And they are tired of the selfish, self-centered arguments of opponents, who say the restrictions are too burdensome or unnecessary or impact private property rights. Time for all of politicians to recognize ivory and other endangered-animal body parts as contraband, and join the movement to protect the marvelous creatures who share our planet and enrich it with their mere existence," says Wayne Pacelle, Executive Director of the American Humane Society.
Every 15 minutes, an elephant is killed for its ivory, destroying families and creating orphans – 100,000 elephants a year. Without drastic measures, this iconic animal will be wiped out in a decade. Rhinos are already close to extinction and every animal counts.
With ivory more precious than gold, trafficking brings in $18 billion a year for terrorists and transnational criminal syndicates.
What's Been Happening
Last year, the US and China signed an agreement banning imports and exports of ivory in both countries, closing ivory sales in the world's two largest markets.
The US burned a ton of confiscated elephant ivory in New York's Times Square, much of it from an antique dealer caught smuggling the ivory. China and 18 other countries followed and on April 30, Kenya burned the largest ivory stockpile left in the world.
Kenya's elephant population is down to 35,000 from 175,000 in the 1970s because of the merciless onslaught of poachers, including Al-Shabab militants from Somalia.
In Tanzania, the elephant population is down 60% in just five years, to less than 44,000 as of 2014.
Courts are cracking down on ivory smugglers. The "Queen of Ivory," a Chinese woman, was arrested in Tanzania for smuggling 706 elephant tusks. She faces 30 years in jail, as do two men convicted in March after being caught with tusk from 226 elephants. They face an additional five years for attempting to bribe police and wildlife officers. They are appealing the verdict.
In the US, "Operation Crash" has prosecuted 30 people.
Conservation nonprofits are using drones to counter poaching and British troops provide military training to park rangers.
US Actions
President Obama's executive order established an interagency Task Force charged with developing a National Strategy for Combatting Wildlife Trafficking.
Its goals are to stop wildlife trafficking by:
strengthening enforcement
reducing demand
expanding international cooperation
Out of that the US Wildlife Trafficking Alliance formed. It helps African countries fight poaching through technical assistance and reduces demand for products through collaborations with Asian countries and here at home.
The Interior Department, which heads the Alliance, challenged US companies to raise awareness about the crisis and to root out illegal products from their supply chains.
In March, 16 companies and US zoos announced they would work with the Alliance.
"We want to create a mass movement in American society, where the average person is aware of poaching and trafficking and stands up to say this is not acceptable and it must stop," explains Patrick Bergin, Executive Director of the African Wildlife Foundation, an Alliance member. "We feel we are nearing a tipping point that would get wildlife numbers headed in the right direction again, but we need a surge in awareness and action to get definitively over that hump."
As examples, JetBlue Airlines will show a video on wildlife trafficking and products during flights, and Etsy and eBay are training employees to identify trafficked products being sold on their platforms. Google and Facebook are creating campaigns to raise awareness. Tiffany, Signet Jewelers and Ralph Lauren promise to get it out of supply chains.
Wildlife trafficking is bringing many species to the brink of extinction, such as tigers, apes, parrots and sea turtles. "Products" come in many forms: jewelry, carvings, fashion accessories made from exotic skins, and culinary and "medicinal delicacies" from increasingly rare animals.
While China agreed to close the country to ivory, it has yet to announce an implementation plan. Instead, it "will strictly control ivory processing and trade until the commercial processing and sale of ivory and its products are eventually halted."
The Chinese public is very supportive of wildlife protection and is not aware of poaching for ivory.
Overall, the value of global environmental crimes – from illegal logging to wildlife trafficking – is about $258 billion a year, according to Interpol and the United Nations Environment Program. Only counterfeiting and human and drug trafficking bring in higher revenue for transnational organized criminal groups.
Then Came Cecil the Lion
After Cecil was killed by a trophy hunter, 45 airlines banned transporting hunting trophies on their flights from Africa's Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and cape buffalo. It started with Delta and American, and then many more joined including: JetBlue, United Airlines, Air Canada, Virgin, Air France, Finnair, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Emirates Airlines, Ethiopian Airways, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines. FedEx and UPS have yet to do so.
After four years of pressure, FWS announced it would list lions in Central and Western Africa as Endangered, and lions in Southern and Eastern Africa as Threatened under the US Endangered Species Act. A special rule prohibits importing trophies unless they come from countries with lion management plans approved by the US government.
Australia and France also banned imports of lion trophies.
Lion populations are down 60% with less than 30,000 left because of hunting and habitat loss. They can be found in just four protected areas, compared to 21 in 2005.
Last year, 54 African countries signed the Cairo Declaration, which addresses climate change and commits them to creating an "inclusive green economy," including improving protection of the continent's natural resources and wildlife.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," filmed in tandem with 2006's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," is touting itself as the final part in a trilogy that started with 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." What began as almost a joke—the movies are, after all, based on a theme park ride at Disney World—has become an explosively successful franchise. To believe that this will be the last time audiences see oily, rum-soaked pirate Jack Sparrow is an impossibility. One can always hope, though. Director Gore Verbinski (2005's "The Weather Man") might have lucked into a huge moneymaker that captured the attention of audiences of all ages, but as proven by this misbegotten series, financial accolades do not exactly equate to cinematic worth.
Bloated beyond comprehension, overplotted to the point of aggravation, and about as soulless as a ship captain specter, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is a total mess. Giving summer tentpoles a bad name, the film comes complete with some nice visual effects work at the service of a ludicrously complicated hodgepodge of a story and unsavory, one-note characters whose charms have long since run their course. Watching the movie is like being afflicted with amnesia every fifteen minutes—the empty images, cornball dialogue and plodding action set-pieces go through the eyes and are zapped by a brain synapse that has no interest or reason to care about anything happening on the screen. By the end, one has only a vague memory of what they have just seen, and that's more than enough.
Picking up where the last picture left off, sparring lovebirds Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), newly reanimated Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and voodoo priestess Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris) have set off to save the life of Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), who last we saw was swallowed up by the Kraken and is now trapped in a netherworld. Following a stop in Singapore to retrieve a special map from Captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat), the gang take to the seas, en route to the literal ends of the world. This daring mission is only the beginning of their new quest as they next set their sights on the Flying Dutchman, the ship of cursed, tentacle-faced Davey Jones (Bill Nighy). It seems that the devious Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) has taken Davey's heart, using it against him in order to form a critical alliance that will aid him in ruling the seas and slaughtering the whole pirate population.
The plot continues from there, but really, what's the point? Even at an exposition-heavy running time that tops out just under three hours, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" doesn't make a lick of sense. Following a promising opening forty-five minutes that document the initial voyage to save Jack Sparrow and conclude with a nifty sequence in which the passengers of the Black Pearl intentionally capsize the ship in an attempt to return to the world of the living, the film's momentum stops dead in its tracks. The next ninety minutes are almost entirely dedicated to scene after scene after endless scene of characters standing around, trying to explain the plot and their individual motives to each other. Convoluted in the extreme and seemingly making up the narrative as they go, director Gore Verbinski and screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio have no idea how to compile all their ideas and all their countless arbitrary side stories into a workable form. The finished product lacks energy, inspiration, and most of all, focus.
At this point, the recurring actors have exhausted the limited capacities of their characters and are just going through the motions, the weary looks of exhaustion and boredom unmistakable on their faces. As Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp (2005's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") is, for the first time, underused. On sparse occasions, he knocks a one-liner or facial expression out of the park, but otherwise fades into the background to make room for the assortment of other characters.
As on-again-off-again romantic partners Elizabeth and Will, Keira Knightley (2005's "Domino") isn't half as sparkling as she was in the first "Pirates" endeavor and Orlando Bloom (2005's "Elizabethtown") continues to do his best impression of a piece of wood. The love story between these two is a joke; they share no chemistry, are dishonest and selfish, and barely seem to tolerate each other. If any performer stands out, it is easily Geoffrey Rush (2005's "Munich"), deliciously self-deprecating as the "arrrgh"-spouting Captain Barbossa. His and Jack Sparrow's ongoing rivalry is cause for some humorous bits in the first half.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is a study in detached tedium. Just as the climactic battle at sea appears to be getting into high gear, another thirty minutes of back-and-forth chatting takes precedence that, as far as I can tell, could have been chopped out with close to no bearing on what proceeds it. When the action finale arrives, full of cannonball-shooting and sword-fighting amidst a stormy whirlpool, the viewer has long since mentally checked out, beaten into submission by a hokey, needlessly ponderous script that doesn't know when to quit. It's all flash and fury and zero substance, and the very fact that anyone can miraculously spring back to life after they have died strips it of suspense and meaning. If this does turn out to be series finale, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" ends with a pitiful whimper. Good riddance.

Volcano of Paricutin, also known as 'Volcan de Paricutin' is located about 200 miles west of Mexico City. It is the youngest of all volcanic vents in the Michoacan-Guanajuato volcanic field, a basalt plateau dominated by lava domes, violent cones, small shield volcanoes, maars, tuff rings.
It lies on the northern flank of the Cerros de Tancítaro, and extends 3,170 meters above sea level, wedged against old volcanic mountain chains and surrounded by small lava cones with the valleys all around occupied by small settlements or small fields and gardens. After only one day of its discovery, the volcano had risen to 164 feet (50 m) and in a week it was 500 feet (150 m) high.
Discovery: One fine evening in February 1943, a Mexican farmer named Dionisio Pulido was working in his field in the Tarascan Indian village of Paricutin. He and his family had been very excited with the advent of spring. They had been busy clearing the field, putting it in piles and burning it. After his lunch, Pulido moved to a different field and continued with his 'burn the pile' task. Just when he entered the field, he was little bewildered to see a crack on the hill. It was over seven feet wide and 148 feet long.
At first Pulido dint bother as the crack looked about a foot deep. But about an hour later when he was busy with his the pile of branches, he heard the sound of thunderclap roaring across the field. He felt a sudden tremor in the ground. When he turned to look back at the crack, he saw that the ground there had bulged up to over six feet in height. Gray ashes were streaming out of the hole. Suddenly the sky was filled with clouds of smoke.
Frightened by these events, Pulido rushed to his town to find his family waiting for him but at the same time, he was terrified with the fissure he had witnessed in his cornfield that day. Little was he aware that these incidents would forever change his life with the mysteries about to unfold. It was later revealed that the eruption in his cornfield was altogether a new finding for the scientists: a volcano. It was the first time when it was likely for all the scientists to observe the birth of a volcano, enjoy his childhood, study his life and observe all its patterns till its death i.e. its complete life cycle could be documented. Whoa…!!
These findings would help them understand the powerful pressures inside the earth which ultimately leads to the discoveries about surface of our planet.
About a month after the eruption, William F. Foshag from the U.S. National Museum with his Mexican counterpart, Dr. Jenaro González-Reyna spent the next several years documenting the changing patterns of the volcano. They gathered such samples and photographs from Paricutin which are used by the scientists till date while doing volcanic research.
Although the towns had to be evacuated, a few people had lost their lives, hundreds of them had lost their livelihood, forcing them to be permanently relocated, but Paricutin itself has become a spot of tourist attraction. People have been allured to the volcano ever since 1943 and they keep visiting the hardened-lava covering the ruins of the San Juan Parangaricutiro Church. Since then, volcano of Paricutin bears the honor of being assigned with the tag of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World by CNN.

Notice for the LCD Display
In order to maintain the stable luminous performance, it is recommended to use low brightness setting.
Due to the lifespan of the lamp, it is normal that the brightness quality of the LCD display may decrease with time.
When static images are displayed for long periods of time, the image may cause an imprint on the LCD display. This is
called image retention or burn-in.
To prevent image retention, do any of the following:
Set the LCD display to turn off after a few minutes of being idle.
Use a screen saver that has moving graphics or a blank white image.
Switch desktop backgrounds regularly.
Adjust the LCD display to low brightness settings.
Turn off the LCD display when the system is not in use.
Things to do when the LCD display shows image retention:
Turn off the monitor for extended periods of time. It can be several hours or several days.
Use a screen saver and run it for extended periods of time.
Use a black and white image and run it for extended periods of time.
When the LCD display is moved from one room to another or there is a sudden change from low to high ambient
temperature, dew condensation may form on or inside the glass surface. When this happens, do not turn on the LCD
display until the dew disappears.
Due to humid weather conditions, it is normal for mist to form inside the glass surface of the LCD display. The mist will
disappear after a few days or as soon as the weather stabilizes.
There are millions of micro transistors inside the LCD display. It is normal for a few transistors to be damaged and to
produce spots. This is acceptable and is not considered a failure.

"Maud Muller" is a poem from 1856 written by John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892).
It is about a beautiful maid named Maud Muller. One day, while harvesting hay, she meets a judge from the local town. Each is smitten with the other. The judge thinks that he would like to be a local farmer married to Maud, while she thinks that she would like to be the wealthy judge's wife.

Neither voices these thoughts, however, and both the judge and the maiden move on. The judge marries a woman of wealth whose love for him is based on his riches. Maud Muller marries a young uneducated farmer. Throughout the rest of their lives, each remembers the day of their meeting and remorsefully reflects on what might have been.

This poem contains the well-known quotation: "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'"

Whittier's younger contemporary Bret Harte wrote a short parody and sequel to the poem entitled "Mrs. Judge Jenkins", which mocks Whittier's conclusion by having Maud marry the Judge after all, with far more disastrous results: Maud's relatives get drunk in the wedding, while Maud herself grows "broad and red and stout" after giving birth to twins. Both eventually come to regret the marriage: Maud because she finds the Judge's emphasis on knowledge boring, while the Judge bemoans Maud's lack of refinement and social grace.

Harte juxtaposes Whittier's famous line with his own, witty, take:

       If, of all words of tongue and pen,
       The saddest are, "It might have been,"

       More sad are these we daily see:
       "It is, but hadn't ought to be."

Big Leaguers Wanted
Photo credit:© Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
By DeuceDoucette
It's our right as fans to become sentimental about the teams we cheer for.
Rowdy Tellez is, by all accounts, a person to become sentimental about.
We all know his story — losing his mother to cancer only weeks before his big league debut. There might not have been a dry eye in the fanbase, watching his father celebrate his major league firsts. Through that, we developed a bond with Rowdy the person as much as Rowdy the player. That's fine. There is nothing wrong with that.
Rowdy, the player, earned favour with the fans with a path through the minors of promising power potential and some mammoth home runs when he arrived on the scene in Toronto. Over the course of his 219 game tenure in Toronto, he had several extended periods where he appeared as though he might have turned the corner and become a serviceable left-handed power threat in the Blue Jays lineup, but each time, an even longer streak of poor discipline and ugly plate appearances was sure to follow.
The legacy Rowdy leaves behind in Toronto is one of a replacement-level offensive player with below-average defence. But that doesn't mean that's all he'll ever be. And if at some point in his journey, he does finally turn that corner and becomes the player we've seen in short flashes of offensive output, it doesn't mean it was the wrong decision to move him.
The Toronto Blue Jays can no longer be a destination for major league hopefuls. On the cusp of becoming a contender, you can no longer afford the luxury of spending roster spots on guys with uncovered potential. You can no longer wait for once-promising prospects to make adjustments and get back on track. The Houston Astros aren't pining over the loss of Teoscar Hernandez as they watch him go to his first All-Star game. It's the cost of doing business at the top of your division, and Rowdy will not be the first such casualty of the Blue Jays' impending contender status.
Trevor Richards, the likely primary target in the trade with The Brewers, was traded once already this season, by Tampa with Willy Adames to The Brewers. Unlike previously acquired reliever Adam Cimber, Richards has had some success in limited high leverage situations this season, holding opponents to just 4 hits in 8 high leverage outings this season. The most interesting note about Richards' work is that he dominates left-handed hitting. In fact, Lefties have a .497 OPS against him this season. For a bullpen that has struggled mightily to find consistent left-handed options, a guy with reverse splits becomes incredibly attractive and much easier to leverage against opposing teams. It also allows The Jays to move players with big-league experience to the alt site and to Trenton and extend their depth and flexibility as far as possible. It seems more vital than ever this season, with pitchers seemingly hitting the IL daily, to stretch the depth of the organization as far as possible.
Bowden Francis accomplishes the same thing, but at the bottom of that depth pool. He's a big right-handed starter on the cusp of rule 5 eligibility who misses bats and seldom issues base on balls. He's looked terrific since his promotion from Double-A to Triple-A earlier in the season, and while he has no big-league experience to date, he offers another arm to go to in the event of an emergency.
We should expect more of these types of transactions leading up to the deadline, and even before next season. Players like Danny Jansen, Jonathan Davis, Riley Adams, and even Santiago Espinal, who has performed well above expectations, will have to prove their worth and keep their play from slipping for any extended period of time or they'll have to be replaced by someone who will. That's what contending teams do.

In the Company of the King: Johnny Carson Interviews on TCM
by Tom Shales
Gold from a salt mine — it doesn't happen often. And yet it's an apt if hardly clever way to describe the latest bit of beneficence from Turner Classic Movies, the only cable channel I truly could not live without. On Monday, July 1, and for several subsequent Mondays thereafter, TCM will be retrieving, not from movie vaults but from television archives, a colorful collection of interviews that the legendary Johnny Carson did with a wide variety of movie greats (or near-greats), living and dead. The Carson collection is stored in a salt mine in Hutchinson, Ks., because of the low humidity and greater likelihood that videotape and film will survive down there. Jeff Sotzing, Carson's nephew and long-time associate, presides over the trove. One could be cynical and call this just another way to squeeze revenue out of old video (several DVD collections of Carson highlights have been issued), but it would be petty to quibble with motives when the results are so cheering. And endearing.
"Carson on TCM" is the no-nonsense title for the collection, culled from three decades of chats that Carson had with guests on "The Tonight Show," the informal salon over which he presided until 1992. Yes, a pause while many of us sigh, "Can it possibly be that long ago that he left?" The tears have scarcely dried on my pillow (okay, a slight exaggeration).
Chevy Chase, of all people, casually utters on one of the restored interviews (airing July 8) what turned out to be a simple but prescient prophecy: "There's nobody who's going to be 'the next Johnny Carson.'" This was 1986, long before national panic had set in over Carson's announced departure, and Chase made the remark in response to then-common speculation that he might be just the guy to disprove his own prediction. When Chase did try his hand at a late-night talk show, on Fox in 1993, it was a disaster, largely because Chevy Chase simply has no interest whatever in other people. (It's not a mean thing to say; he's fairly typical of many actors and comics).
Carson seemed truly and selflessly interested in other people, famous or not, and of the many celebrities who'll pop up as part of this array, only a minority seem to have been booked merely to plug an upcoming movie or TV show. Kirk Douglas (July 1), for example, had written his autobiography after years of delay, yes, but he did relatively few talk-show appearances to hype it, and the interview is a genuine delight, two champs gently sparring.
But back to Chevy Chase. The excerpted episode on which he appears, from December 1986, also includes a visit from our own beloved Roger Ebert and then-partner Gene Siskel, and of course it is wonderful to see them again, Roger looking particularly young and buoyant. They were on the show several times and had an agreement between them to alternate on seating; this was Gene's turn to occupy the chair closest to Carson, Roger on the iconic (for once the word fits) couch. It turned out to be felicitous placement for Roger, and Gene may well have regretted it, because Roger and Chevy get some funny business going, impromptu and seemingly good-natured horseplay — though with Chevy Chase, you can never tell for sure. His nature isn't always good.
Roger had looked with disapproval on Chase's 1986 film "The Three Amigos" and admitted as much, even with Chevy sitting right next to him. Encouraged by Carson, Chevy went into his funny-faces routine, mocking Roger literally behind his back as Roger talked about being disappointed in the film — but also saying, diplomatically, that Chase had made better pictures in the past and would surely make more in the future. (Even before becoming a sensation on "Saturday Night Live," Chase exercised his facial acrobatics in such comedy bits as a pantomime to classical music, in "Groove Tube" or "Channel One," early media-minded satirical troupes).
It's basically a sweet sequence, though you may be surprised to see Carson taking Chase's side; then again, who in show business ever steps forward to defend critics? Not that many years before, Carson had said of Chase that "he couldn't ad lib a fart at a bean-eating contest," based on seeing Chase and the rest of the SNL cast standing around speechless one night when the show ran short. Did Carson really say that? Yes, I know he did, because he said it to me. I interviewed him a few times, the first at his home in Bel Air, with third wife Joanna Holland wafting around in a gracious-hostess get-up.
Carson and Chase made up later and became poker buddies. So you never know. In the excerpt, Chase taunts the two critics with a snotty, "When are your next pictures coming out?" Roger adroitly counters, later, by mentioning-while-pretending-not-to-mention "Oh, Heavenly Dog," a 1980 fiasco in which Chase ignominiously costarred with Benji the mutt. Roger holds his own with Chevy and doesn't seem to resent the moderate mockery going on behind him. It may seem less than momentous now, but it was the kind of Carson moment that people were bound to talk about the next day.
Today, of course, the talk-show host most likely to generate water-cooler buzz is the great David Letterman, who is easily Carson's equal at snappy ad-libs if not when it comes to projecting warmth. Certainly Letterman ranks as a colossus when compared with other would-be Carson's around him — especially Jay Leno and the opposite-of-electrifying, that Johnny-come-lately Jimmy Kimmel.
What about Conan O'Brien? Funny I should ask; on brief leave from his own cable talk show, he hosts the TCM Carson series, very capably and self-effacingly. We'll never know what heights Conan might have scaled if he'd gotten a fair shake at the "Tonight Show," but it all became
such a crazy quagmire, with Leno going and coming and doing his disingenuous best to appear as if he hadn't a mean bone in his body. Maybe not a bone — but what about his liver, gall bladder or mean spleen? And yet with Leno now on the receiving end of yet another shaft from NBC's bottomless quiver, it's hard to maintain any hostility toward him. He still shines on the part of the "Tonight Show" that Carson made the most important, the monologue. Leno is a great joke-teller.
Uhhh, I think I got off on a tangent there. Well, I'm old, old enough to remember most of the Carson interviews from their first time around. Even though he'd made perhaps too many appearances on the show, George Burns is truly funny in a 1989 Carson appearance to be shown in the July 1 show. It is still infectious to share Carson's delight at hearing Burns tell stories about Johnny's idol, Jack Benny (who was also idolized — and discovered — by Carson's illustrious predecessor, Jack Paar). And you can gauge the generational difference in talk shows of then and now in one Carson remark to Burns: "Let's talk about Al Jolson a little bit." Yes, children, it used to be that no discussion of show-biz legends was quite complete without an Al Jolson anecdote.
The premiere of "Carson on TCM" also includes chats with Doris Day (briefly contemplating the word "horny," of all things), Mary Tyler Moore (when still married to Grant Tinker, chairman of NBC in another era), Neil Simon, the most successful playwright of the 20th century, and an utterly disarming Drew Barrymore, age 7 (in 1982) who now-famously tells Carson, "I've been waiting all my life to meet you…" Johnny says he stayed on the "Tonight Show" an extra seven years just for her.
These aren't really interviews so much as conversations, the more to Carson's credit. He was expert at putting guests at ease and at asking potentially troublesome questions in a non-confrontational way. People who lived through the era might consider Dick Cavett a better mainstream interviewer, but Cavett was never half as much fun to watch as Carson was.
In our Bel Air interview, Carson said he didn't think he'd still be hosting the "Tonight Show" when he was 55. He was 67 when he quit, essentially having been crassly forced out by the ruling NBC idiocracy, and he was 79 when he died. I got to interview him again — his last major newspaper interview, I believe — when he was awarded the Kennedy Center Honors, a prize that also later would go to Letterman.
I remember driving through the gates of Johnny's Malibu home and seeing a guard posted in a tower nearby; otherwise, Johnny would explain, gawkers would scale the fence and trespass. I stood at the exact spot in the shiny, spacious and oddly metallic foyer of his house where neighbor Bob Newhart, on his first visit, had jokingly inquired, "Which way to the gift shop?" Carson laughed as he recalled that. Then, seemingly uncomfortable in the palatial surroundings, he proposed we adjourn to his "tennis house" across the street, where logically enough his tennis court was.
Before the interview, Johnny showed me a wall of photographs, big stars who had all appeared on his "Tonight" show when it still aired nightly from New York, and he told me that all the kinescopes and videotapes from those early shows were lost, gone forever, though a tiny bit remains of Groucho Marx introducing Carson on the first show. Thus "Carson on TCM," which will include excerpts dating back to the '70s (Fred Astaire, to name one long-ago guest) seems particularly priceless.
Our interview over, Johnny walked me back to the big house across the street, to the driveway where my car was parked. I thanked him, shook his hand, and started to get into my car as he walked toward the entrance. And then out of pure emotion and sudden impulse — and laugh if you will — I called out to him.
"Johnny?" He turned around. "Thank you." I guess I meant thank you for the interview, but in my head I imagined I was speaking for the whole country, for everybody who'd ever survived a depressive spell with his help, for thirty years of uncommonly, unfailingly faithful service.
And there were tears in my eyes, dammit. I couldn't help myself.
For its July 1 launch, Carson on TCM will open with Johnny Carson's adorable 1982 interview with 7-year-old Drew Barrymore, who has since grown up to be a Golden Globe-winning actress and co-host of TCM's The Essentials. The night will also feature interviews with Kirk Douglas (taped in 1988), Mary Tyler Moore (1978), writer Neil Simon (1980) and George Burns (1989), one of more than 20 Academy Award® winners featured in the collection.

Metallica release Lux AEterna lyric videos in multiple languages
Metallica have released a series of lyric videos for their new single, "Lux AEterna", in multiple languages.
The lead track from the group's forthcoming album, "72 Seasons", can be viewed with lyrics displayed in English, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.
Due April 14, 2023, the album was produced by Greg Fidelman, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich.
"We have completed recording at HQ, and our 12th studio album is coming your way!," says the band. "It's been six years since 'Hardwired…To Self Destruct', so we think it's about time for some new music."
"72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves," explains Hetfield about the album title. "The concept that we were told 'who we are' by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is re-enactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry."
Metallica will launch a two-year world tour in support of the project in Amsterdam, NL two weeks after the album's release in April.

Over the past few years, I have taught a number of courses that explore the theory and practice of information organization and retrieval. At the undergraduate level, I teach MIT 026, which is an introduction to the universe of print and electronic information sources. In the graduate program in Library and Information Science, I currently teach courses on the organization of information, the theory and practice of descriptive cataloguing, and classification and indexing.
My research currently focuses on information resource description, with a special emphasis on the description, classification and access of electronic resources using traditional and non-traditional methods. Current grant-funded research projects are studying the role of semantic markup in the creation of electronic versions of primary texts in the humanities, and the relevance of queer theory to the creation of classification schemes for information resources of interest to gay and lesbian communities.


Do you remember all of that palpable excitement I had when I first introduced puréed food to Micah (Read about it here)? It was one of the things I knew I couldn't miss being there for as he grew older. It was right up there with seeing his first steps or hearing his first words. Well, introducing table foods should probably be on that list as well because I was equally excited for that!
Micah was about 9-months-old when we introduced table foods for the first time. Some recommend starting around 8-months, using signs such as baby's ability to mash lumps and more textured purees in their mouth and the development of a pincer grasp (using thumb and index finger to pick up small items) to cue you into his or her readiness to start. Micah, however, took some time to develop his pincer grasp, so I decided to wait a bit. In all honestly, he didn't become proficient in using it until 11-months, but of course I didn't think it made sense to wait beyond 9-months because he was already showing so much interest in table food.
Like many parents, I was nervous about Micah's ability to handle table foods because, of course, I didn't want him to choke. I even refreshed my memory on pediatric basic life support before beginning 😂. As usual, however, my fears were mostly unwarranted, and he did just fine with the transition. And for any other mamas out there who may be worried about the same thing, the likelihood of something like that happening is extremely low. Provided they're given softer foods, those gums should be able to mash it just fine (babies don't use their teeth to process food in their mouths). Additionally, even if there was a small piece of food that found itself in the wrong place, that's what the coughing reflex is for, and in most cases, it's enough to help them clear it. So don't worry too much.
Generally speaking, I stuck to the same nutritional rules I created for myself when making purées. I planned meals so they had a good balance of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins. When shopping, I tried to buy organic and/or non-GMO ingredients. I avoided added salt or sugar. And of course, as a vegetarian, I found fun and interesting ways to incorporate proteins.
Here are some of my favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes.
Here's a link to the recipe I used for the apple cinnamon muffins. I substituted a ripe banana for sugar, omitted salt, and used coconut milk instead of milk. Additionally, you can substitute butter for vegetable oil.
For the tofu, I simply mashed a block of extra firm tofu, sautéed it in olive oil, added curry powder for color, and garlic powder and onion powder to taste.
Here's a link to the enchilada sauce I made. You can use a low sodium broth or just water in place of the vegetable broth. For the enchiladas I simply pureed a can of low sodium black beans (rinsed really well to get off any additional salt), seasoned the puree to taste, and rolled them alongside spinach in whole wheat tortillas. Feel free to add or omit cheese as you please.
For the broccoli, feel free to blanch or steam.
Here's a link to the chick pea patties recipe. The only changes I made to this recipe were adding chopped spinach and omitting salt.
For the sweet potatoes, I simply dressed them with cinnamon and olive oil and baked them at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
As for the broccoli, same as above.
After making mistakes along the way, here are some things I learned.
Incorporating dark leafy greens with table foods is a bit more difficult than it was with purees. These days, I incorporate them my blending them into sauces or adding them to casseroles, patties, enchiladas, etc (places where they'll be essentially cooked in with everything else).
If baby doesn't like a certain food the first time around, keep at it. It can take 10-15 times before baby finally takes to a food.
When serving food, it's often helpful to place small amounts of food on the tray in front of baby. Whenever I put a lot of food in front of Micah, he usually ends up throwing it.
If there's a food I know Micah doesn't like, I usually serve that one first, without letting him see the other food available. Then after he's finished, I serve what I know he likes.
For the mamas out there, what are some of your favorite table food recipes? Any tips for introducing them? I'd love to hear about it!
