The V&A says the new, long-term collaboration with The Sir Elton John Collection will revolutionise public access to photography in its Photography Centre, which opened in autumn last year
The collaboration will offer opportunities to bring together highlights from the V&A's 'world-leading' photography collection of more than 800,000 photographs, alongside The Sir Elton John Photography Collection, which it calls 'one of the greatest private photography collections in the world'.
The musician has, since 1991, developed a passion for the photographic medium to amass a collection of over 7,000 photographs that focuses on the contemporary, spanning the early 20th century to the present day. It encompasses iconic images by modern masters including Man Ray, André Kertész, Dorothea Lange and Edward Steichen. It also includes photographs by the most exciting contemporary artists working today, from Cindy Sherman to Alec Soth and Alex Prager.
Co-curated exhibition
This new partnership comprises a significant but undisclosed donation from Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish towards the museum's recently opened Photography Centre, for which gallery 101 will be renamed in their honour, and will also include a major co-curated temporary exhibition in the near future.
Throughout their collecting, Sir Elton John and David Furnish have been keen to share their photography collection with the widest possible audience – a mission shared by the V&A – and have loaned key works to national and international exhibitions, creating new insights, dialogues and connections to further the study, enjoyment and appreciation of the medium.
"We are immensely grateful to Sir Elton John and David Furnish for their generosity in supporting our Photography Centre and mission to make historic and contemporary photography available to the widest possible audience," said Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A. "We are united by a deep commitment to the medium, and there are huge synergies between our collections, particularly around 20th century modernist and contemporary colour photography."

The V&A holds the National Collection of the Art of Photography and the museum has collected photographs since its foundation in 1852 and continues to collect today. The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) collection was transferred to the V&A by the Science Museum Group in 2017 and was acquired with the generous assistance of the Heritage Lottery Fund and Art Fund.
The Sir Elton John Photography Collection was a major lender to the V&A's 2014 exhibition, Horst: Photographer of Style and will now be part of a new and revelatory photography exhibition.
Perfect partnership
Sir Elton John said: "The V&A is known for its dedication to teaching, public research facilities and learning-based exhibitions focused on the mechanics and history of the photographic arts. For me and David, this commitment to education and mission to celebrate the medium, presents a perfect partnership. The new Photography Centre, along with the 2022 extension, will not only elevate photography but it will help foster new artists, patrons and collectors, like myself."
The museum says that Sir Elton John and David Furnish's generous donation enables the V&A to realise its ambitions of showcasing highlights from its extensive photography holdings, with a series of temporary displays, new acquisitions and annual contemporary commissions. Opened to the public in
In October 2018, the V&A's new Photography Centre opened in the museum's North East Quarter, reclaiming a series of beautiful original 19th-century picture galleries.
A new extension, scheduled to open in 2022, will expand the V&A's Photography Centre further to include a teaching and research space, a browsing library, an historic darkroom, and a studio for photographers' residencies, offering new and exciting ways for visitors to encounter this diverse and dynamic art form.

Insurgency trailer shows security forces attacking an enemy base

Share All sharing options for: Insurgency trailer shows security forces attacking an enemy base
A new trailer for indie tactical FPS Insurgency follows a team of security forces as they assault an insurgent compound.
Based on the critically-acclaimed Half-Life 2 mod of the same name, Insurgency is the brainchild of independent studio New World Interactive, and is currently in "Early Access" status on Steam.
In June, Polygon spoke with NWI's Andrew Spearin, who spent five years in the Canadian Army Reserve and wanted to make a game that he felt was more accurate and reflective of actual infantry operations. You can read our preview of the game here.
Insurgency is planned for release on Windows and Mac, with a Linux release to follow.

IndieCade gaming fest features a radical idea: We need to be nicer
Games such as "SweetXheart" look at how we can better communicate with one another.
(Catt Small)
By Todd MartensGame Critic
In the free game "SweetXheart," a young woman is walking to the train, hoping she won't be late for school. She sees that a man is looking at her, and before she can cross the street, he tells her that he just wants to say hello. Fine. Hello, she says. And then he adds that her outfit this day is particularly sexy. The woman can ignore him, tell him off or just say she isn't interested.
All these choices leave Kara in turmoil. Was she being harassed? Or maybe she misread someone's misguided but not necessarily evil intentions? Did standing up for herself, in turn, hurt someone else's feelings? Does that matter, and if not, why is she still thinking about it?
Getting through the day in "SweetXheart" without feeling emotionally exhausted is a challenge. It's a game that takes a look at the toll of daily transgressions, be it an offensive cat-caller, a boss calling you by a pet name or simply realizing a friend group didn't invite you to hangout. It asks us to think about how these moments all add up to affect our emotional well-being.
On a micro level, it's a game about race, class and gender, asking players to experience one week in the life of a 19-year-old black woman, but zoom out and it becomes clear that "SweetXheart" has larger ambitions. It's a game about how we communicate.
'Sea of Solitude' is a game that wants us to play with what it means to be human
We're accustomed to games, even the most nuanced, beginning with a clear problem: an outlaw on the run, a world in peril, a loved one kidnapped and held hostage by a gorilla.
"Every interaction that you have with people — or that I have with people — comes with a cost," says "SweetXheart" developer Catt Small, noting that she hopes the game asks us to to think about the benefits of vulnerability. "I've been taught to not be a vulnerable person. One of the things I learned making this game and doing this project is often the response that feels easiest to do is not the correct one. Instead of closing off, because it feels safe, sometimes it's better to open up."
"SweetXheart" is one of more than 50 games or interactive experiences that will be showcased this weekend at Santa Monica College as part of IndieCade, an annual event designed to celebrate a more thoughtful side of the game industry. Typically, no matter where the mainstream video game industry is heading, IndieCade will show an alternate path.
In "Kind Words" players anonymously send one another letters with the hope of helping one another.
(Popcannibal)
The most fulfilling moments in "SweetXheart" are a result of seemingly putting Kara in uncomfortable positions, those that involve giving someone a bit of honesty. She must tell her boss it is not OK to call her "sweetie." And she must tell her father it is not OK to dismiss her mother, regardless of how divorce strained their relations. And she must tell her friends she's hurt that she isn't being invited to hang out. Surprisingly, these awkward conversations don't add to Kara's stress, which is indicated by a meter at the top of the screen; they alleviate it, making it clear that the only way we learn — and become closer to one another — is to stop living in fear.
On Saturday, IndieCade will shift from being a developer-focused event to one that courts the general public, and one of the most striking strands this year is a look at how we can use games to be nicer to one another. Works such as "SweetXheart," "Kind Words," "Smile for Me," and "Frog Detective" explore a different form of conflict, namely an inward-facing one about becoming better people. While they could be viewed as a reaction to decades of big-budget video games focused on violence, the developers say they're more a response to our social media-driven lives, where anxiety is just a tweet away and divisive political conversation dominates our feeds.
"American politics has gone insane," said Ziba Scott, one of three core developers of "Kind Words," whose full title is "Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to)." It's a game that is essentially a program to inspire courteousness.
Scott and his partners, artist Luigi Guatieri and musician Clark Aboud, believed people may not be comfortable opening up on social media or with their friends, so "Kind Words" is an opportunity to exchange personal thoughts without any of the baggage that can come from knowing who is responding.
There are no conversations, just the ability to write one letter of encouragement to someone. "I am in a relationship with a wonderful person, but they are not sure about their feelings. How do I spend our days not worrying about our future?" reads one request for help. "I am always worried I am not providing enough as a husband and a dad, particularity financially," reads another. "I'm struggling with isolation, and when I try to do things myself I just feel more lonely," says another card, with no one ever knowing who wrote them.
Since the release of "Kind Words" at the end of this summer, people have sent more than 200,000 anonymous letters. With a soft ambient soundtrack, it's designed to play in the background while someone waits for their digital mailbox to fill up.
How Radiohead helped make 'Where Cards Fall' one of Apple Arcade's must-play games
"Where Cards Fall" originated at USC's game school and has become a playable-for-all standout title on Apple Arcade.
"This game is a political reaction," Scott says of our current cultural climate. "On its surface, this is not a political game, but I think that's why it's been successful. It's not preaching to the choir. It's an exercise for everybody in being nice to each other and having empathy and taking care to express your thoughts to try to lift each other up. I think this is an important and missing element from a lot of our political discourse."
Talks at IndieCade will explore topics ranging from building better escape rooms to nitty-gritty coding seminars; Saturday evening games will celebrate group participation — check out "Hellcouch," a game where a piece of furniture is a controller in which players must use the rear-end to unleash a demon. Still, there's no denying that there's an undercurrent of pleasantry throughout the festival.
While "The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game" is mostly a childlike mystery with talking animals, it breaks from an overused game tradition of snarkiness to celebrate pure joy. Our hero, a frog detective, of course, solves crimes just by being openly friendly.
In "Smile for Me" our quests are to make characters happy.
(LimboLane)
"Smile for Me," similarly, uses a playful, cartoon-like aesthetic to raise questions about our own happiness. One of the first puzzles of the game turns the player into a sort of mediator between a painter with an unrequited crush and the photographer who would like him to leave her alone. One must balance the need to give someone some tough love with the fear of hurting someone's feelings.
"When games glorify or reward violence, even abstract violence, those are things that we carry with us after we leave the media, because they make us feel a certain way about a thing," says Gabe Lane, who developed "Smile for Me" with Yugo Limbo. "I think that one of the things that 'Smile for Me' aims to do is to recontextualize things like listening and helping people."
If there's a common thread to the games — all currently available for home computers — it's simply to get us out of our own heads, and to recognize how our actions may affect one another. Instead of simply solving a puzzle or pressing a button, they want us to stop, think and hopefully become better people.
"It's an interactive opportunity for people to be the optimist they always want to be," says Scott when asked why more developers are exploring such themes.
"In the real world," Scott adds, "it's hard to insert yourself in someone's life as much as you would like to. You see someone looking sad, and you don't feel you have the right to enter their space to help them. This is a pent-up desire to reach out and help people."
Where: Santa Monica College, 1660 Stewart St. Santa Monica
When: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday
Tickets: $40 (Saturday afternoon); $20 (Saturday evening programming)

Q: When is the 2019 race?
A: Saturday, May 4, 2019. Registration opens Oct. 1, 2018.
Q: Can I transfer my bib to another runner, or switch to another race?
A: Yes. You can do so online through April 21 by following the instructions at the bottom of the Registration page.
Q: I can't run due to injury, can I get a refund?
A: First, that is really a bummer, but unfortunately we can't give refunds due to injury. You can transfer your bib to someone else if they want to run in your place, however.
A: No. For the safety and enjoyment of all runners, strollers are not allowed on the course in either race. If you have a stroller in the starting shute, or on the course, a course official will remove you.
Q: Do I have to buy a park sticker to drive into the park for the race?
A: Yes you do, and you should be happy to. Our parks need our support, and the admission fees for these beautiful open spaces are a bargain. Daily park passes are $10 for in-state, and $13 for out of state plates. You do not have to pay a fee to ride the shuttles, however.
Q: How long does it take to get from the park entrance to the concourse.
A: It's not an exact science with traffic, but we recommend you plan on 20 minutes.
Q: Why does the race start at 10 am?
A: There are many factors that require that we start the race a little later than many other races. Due to limited parking, we must also allow extra time for runners and spectators to take shuttles to the starting line from various points outside of the park. Because the entire race is staged in a very busy Wisconsin state park, our vendors must all arrive the morning of the event, and our staff and volunteers must do most of our course set-up on race morning. There are also no lights in the park for us to work under in the early morning hours. All of these factors combine to make 10 am our earliest possible start time.
Q: Do we get the same shirts for the 5k as for the Half Marathon?
A: No. The Half Marathon shirt is a long sleeve tech shirt and the 5k is a short sleeve tech shirt.
Q: Is there packet pickup available on race day?
A: Yes, if you're a fan of leaving everything to the last possible second, you can pick up your packet at the Runners' Concourse at Nicolet Bay from 8 – 9:00 am the morning of the race.
Q: Are dogs allowed in the park?
A: Yes. Dogs are allowed in most areas of the Peninsula State Park; however, dogs are not allowed at Nicolet Bay Beach, the location of the Runners' Concourse. We do not allow dogs on the race course or on the shuttles. We know your dog is awesome, it's the other ones we're worried about. Thank you for your cooperation.
Q: Are dogs allowed on the shuttles?
A: No, the answer is still no, and it doesn't matter how cute your dog is, sorry.
Q: I plan on walking the course, how long will Aid Stations be open?
A: Our dedicated but small staff and volunteers must have the roads re-opened in the park by 1:30 pm, so we will begin breaking down certain Aid Stations before the race ends. If you are walking at a pace slower than 16 minutes per mile, Aid Stations may not still be open later in the race.
Q: Is there a post-race meal or beer?
A: We offer fruit, bagels and water and Gatorade to runners for free after the race, but there is no post-race meal included in your entry. There will, however, be several vendors selling brats, burgers, sandwiches and vegetarian items after the race in the runners' concourse.
You will also find a drink ticket good for one beverage from one of our sponsor restaurants the day of the race. We will have beer from One Barrel Brewing Co. at the concourse! Each runner will get one free beer! Bring your ID!
Q: Is there a pre-race pasta dinner?
Q: Are MP3 players allowed?
A: Yes, but we ask that you keep them at a volume that you will be able to hear instructions or emergency vehicles if needed.
Q: Is the course hilly?
Q: Are the hills as bad as I've heard?
Q: Can I run with my dog or push a stroller?
A: No, sorry. Still no. If you are spotted on the course or in the starting chute with a stroller you will be pulled off the course and not allowed to finish the race.
Q: Will there be energy gel or shots on the course?
A: Yes, we will have Clif Shots near Mile 8.
Q: Can someone else pick up my race packet for me, and if so, what do they need to bring?
A: Yes. You can have a friend or family member pick up your packet and they don't need ID or a confirmation number, but please make sure the other person knows you are picking up for them.
A: Sorry, there will be no refunds in the case of cancellation.
Q: Can I shower somewhere after the race?
A: Yes, runners can shower at the Door County YMCA on Highway 42 in Fish Creek, not far from the park entrance. Just show your bib number at the front desk. A limited amount of towels are available for a small fee.
Q: Do you have pacers?
A: Yes! We have pacers at many different finishing goal times. Meet the team here, and check in with them at Packet Pickup for more information..
Q: Can I drop a runner off at the park?
A: No. Save some gas and use the shuttle. We offer shuttles for all runners & spectators who need a ride to the park.
Q: Why is there a cap on the number of runners?
A: We're very sensitive to the fragile ecosystem of Peninsula State Park, the capacity of its roads and staff, so we use great caution in expanding the size of the race. We also aim to stage the best half marathon in the country, and to do so we must grow slowly to make sure each runner has an amazing experience.
Q: What if I'm too warm and need to ditch layers?
A: Runners do that every year. We're a small race, so even if you have an expensive outer layer, you'll probably be able to drive the course and find it after the run. We do find a couple dozen shirts on the side of the road each year, and if nobody claims them, we donate them or throw them away if they're in bad shape.
Q: Do I receive a medal?
A: Half Marathon participants receive a finishers' medal. They're pretty cool. You'll want to take photos and show them off. Maybe even break the rules and wear it to work every Monday. 5k finishers do not receive a medal, unless you win of course. Then you get a medal.
Q: Why don't you start the race with the Star Spangled Banner?
A: Since our race is hosted in one of the most beautiful places in America, we celebrate that beauty, and the efforts that so many have made to preserve it, by singing America the Beautiful instead. It simply seems most appropriate for our location.
Q: Can you add pacers for faster times?
A: No. If we had a pacer for times of, say, 1:40 or faster, it's quite possible that a division winner would be aided by a pacer.
Q: Why do you break down the finish line so early?
A: We break down the finish line at 1:15 pm, or at the 3 hour 15 minute mark. We do this to get the roads to the park re-opened by 1:30 pm as required so other visitors can enjoy the park. Those walking at a pace of 16:00 per mile or faster will be able to finish before the finish line comes down.
Q: When does online registration close for the 2019 Door County Half Marathon?
A: April 24, 2019, or as soon as our cap is reached.


A Twitter shaming campaign is due as a European delegation made up of 3 members of the European Parliament made an unofficial visit to Damascus last week.
The visit was non-representative of the E.U. and was an embarrassment as the delegation met and posed with Ahmad Hassoun, the Grand Mufti of Syria. Hassoun answers to Syria's dictator Bashar al-Assad and has in the past threatened Europe with sleeper cells and suicide bombings if they were to support demands for transition in Syria; an occurrence that we are witnessing today.

Ocean Energy
About OEE
Nova Innovation chief joins Ocean Energy Europe Board of Directors
© Nova Innovation
Simon Forrest, CEO of Nova Innovation, has joined the Ocean Energy Europe Board of Directors. Nova Innovation has become an increasingly prominent player in the tidal energy sector in recent years, and today's announcement further reflects this. Nova will now bring their experience to bear at EU level and help guide the ocean energy sector towards industrialisation.
Since its inception in 2010, Nova has been at the forefront of tidal energy technology development. In 2016, it announced the successful deployment of the world's first offshore tidal array in Shetland. Nova Innovation recently received the backing of the European Commission to further develop technology in the Shetlands, and also announced plans to develop a tidal energy project in North Wales, UK.
Rémi Gruet, CEO of Ocean Energy Europe, underlined the value that Dr Forrest will bring to the Ocean Energy Europe Board of Directors:
"With the deployment of the Shetland Tidal Array, Nova has earned a reputation for getting things done and they are now part of the vanguard of tidal energy developers pushing the sector towards commercial readiness. Tapping that experience at board level will be extremely beneficial to both OEE and the European ocean energy sector. We look forward to working more closely with Simon Forrest and his team to help create a new European industrial sector capable of delivering 10% of Europe's electricity supply by 2050."
Simon Forrest, CEO of Nova Innovation, said:
"I am delighted that Nova Innovation will be joining the board of Ocean Energy Europe. The organisation is the voice of our sector and plays a pivotal role in the development of tidal energy on a global scale. Nova has been extremely successful in delivering the world's first tidal array and bringing commercial reality to the tidal energy space. We are very much looking forward to playing our role in working with OEE to make tidal energy a successful global source of energy."

OKLAHOMA CITY (Dec. 17, 2013) - Murray Pest Control operates in multiple states in the southwest, with owner Jake Murray taking an active hand in monitoring his fleet, as well as jobsite administration. In Murray's profession, limiting the number of re-treats and extra visits to job locations can literally be the difference between profit and loss, with presiding conditions sometimes not as important to Murray's business as impending weather patterns. US Fleet Tracking's weather overlay feature assures your readiness for whatever lurks ahead, weather-wise, and almost immediately upon obtaining the company's live GPS tracking system, Murray noticed it paying dividends in this rather unexpected way.
Weather overlay from US Fleet Tracking comes standard with the company's live GPS tracking service, at no extra charge, and gives comprehensive view of weather in any area desired. It works on any web-based system and from any computer or hand-held device, smart phones included.

Dorothy Heathcote: Drama As A Learning Medium £18.99
Foreword by Cecily O'Neill
This new and extensively revised edition of Betty Jane Wagner's seminal work will be welcome by drama educators throughout the English-speaking world. Heathcote's work has been profoundly influential in that world. Until the publication in 1976 of Dorothy Heathcote: Drama as a Learning Medium, however, Heathcote's techniques - the pedagogy of drama - lacked full explanation. Wagner's book gives us just that: a close-up detailing of this gifted, dynamic teacher in a variety of classroom settings, along with analyses of Heathcote's remarkable improvisations with young people.
Indeed, much of Betty Jane Wagner's book can fairly be described as drama within a drama. It's an engrossing work, for we listen and watch as Heathcote elicits drama of their own making from students across grade levels and disciplines. Wagner's goal is to share with teachers how they, using Heathcote's methods, can generate significant learning experiences.
Especially recommended for middle and secondary school teachers.
Sorry but this product is currently out of stock.

After overseas triumphs, soprano returns to Met Opera
Soprano Lisette Oropesa says she's finally ready for those prima donna roles at the Metropolitan Opera
NEW YORK — Lisette Oropesa sang for years at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City as a promising young soprano. Now she's returning as a star.
For Oropesa, who is just turning 36, it was a series of triumphs in Europe that prepared her to come back home in major roles. The Met, she says, "is not a training house. ... It's an 'I've arrived!' opera house."
Arrived she has, headlining a revival this season of Massenet's "Manon" as the fortune-hunting heroine and also cast as the tubercular courtesan Violetta in Verdi's "La Traviata."

Each season we brainstorm a list of seasonal activities that we would like to adventure out and do.
Here is what we are aiming for December through February. We hang this in our kitchen and use it for ideas when we are looking for something to do. We enjoy checking off adventures as we go.
Hoping you are finding sweet adventures in your December.
Each month we set goals together, intentionally setting a tone for the month. Here is a reflection on November and what we are planning for December. You may read more about this here.
We did most days, but when the going got tough and it was hard to match the day with the word, we were not on top of it.
We agreed on more items and spent more than last year, I would rather go the other way.
We are off to a good start, was hoping to have more done by December 1, but we are continuing to be intentional.
We read Gone Girl and saw the movie together.
Practice Presence with Andrew by doing our own Instagram Challenge #SharpteamChristams2014 A little simpler this time: Post a picture of the Christmas Season each day through Christmas.
Work with Cole on practicing presence by having "Present Moments," times where we are in the midst and we pause to articulate what is going on and how we are feeling. We will video some of those moments.
Giving our presence to our children each week by going on adventures that they will enjoy and by creating cozy family times at home.
Giving our presence to each other by maintaining times of reflection each day and adventure each week just with each other.
Individually deepen our sense of presence by meditating each day.
In the month of November one of our goals is to practice gratitude with our five-year-old in practical ways by doing projects with him. This week we focused on our thankfulness for our health and for nurses.
The members of our household this year have had two surgeries, three hospital stays, four cortisone shots, numerous doctor visits, three braces, occupational therapy, physical therapy, early intervention, lots of amoxicillin and breathing treatments and one feeding tube (that was pulled out numerous times).
We appreciate health and we appreciate those who help us get healthy.
So this week we did a spur of the moment visit to the Emergency Room after dinner.
Our family of four arrived bundled up with a paper bag. We declared that there was no emergency, but that we would like to speak to some nurses to thank them.
There was one uncertain looking nurse who asked if we wanted the pediatric nurses, and I explained that we were grateful for all nurses. She used the card around her neck to open the doors and then they locked behind her. I had Colton reach into the bag to pull out cinnamon donuts. He gave them to the people working in reception, thanking them.
We explained to them that this had been a year for us of coming to really know and appreciate all that nurses do. We thanked them for how their knowledge and their many abilities.
These nurses beamed. They seemed filled with goodness and light.
When we left we felt as if we had been blessed all over again by these incredible, special human beings.
A great big thank you to nurses.
Remember to thank a nurse.
Each Tuesday I write a blog post to share with you a way to be in more intentional in your day to day.
A couple of years ago my brother-in-law had a great deal of insights from books he had recently read. He named a number of titles I was interested in, but had not found time to sit down and read. Curious I asked him when he had time to read, and his answer revolutionized reading for me.
He read while he did the dishes, while he worked out, while he waited. He was listening to audiobooks.
I have been listening ever since. Listening to books is thought provoking, and informative. It can be an adventure listening to someone else's journey or a work of fiction. Why not allow yourself to read more, by joining audiobook or taking out audiobooks from your local library (many download right to your phone).
In the month of November one of our goals is to practice gratitude with our five-year-old in practical ways by doing projects with him. This week we focused on our thankfulness for friends.
Colton started kindergarten this year. He went to pre-school in another town and did not know any of his classmates when he started the school year. He went from being known by everyone to feeling a bit unsure about himself. It was a hard transition.
But now we are two months in and he has formed some new friendships. This week we talked about these and who he is grateful for.
We decided to make friendship buckets for a few of his new friends (and he best friend from pre-school).
We decided to pick out some crafts, because Cole loves to do crafts.
I picked up crafts at Michaels and Buckets at the dollar store. Cole, Andrew and I worked to put them together.
Cole made the Crow Cups with his papa. He picked the candy to give. He sorted the stickers and crafts. He cut out instructions and put together the bags. We topped it off with leaves.
He was ready for delivery.
We delivered each to his friends. I emailed the parents to know why we were doing this and to be on the lookout.
Friends are a great gift.
In the month of November one of our goals is to practice gratitude with our five-year-old in practical ways by doing projects with him. This week we focused on our thankfulness for food.
One thing that Colton is grateful for is food. He is unaware that there are people in the world who are hungry. I was unsure of how to introduce this to him. I researched on-line and appreciated the simplicity and authenticity of this video by Sesame Street.
Cole continues to remember the young girl's story about snack time.
We have a local food bank, so I researched how to donate to them. If you are looking for local food banks you can find them by using this website FIND Food Bank.
I looked around on-line to find out what the primary needs are for a food bank (our local food bank did not list these).
We went to the store and purchased these items. And then on recommendation of this site, we dressed them up a bit with pictures by Colton.
We headed off to the local police station that accepts donations 24/7, only to watch them all drive away! There was an accident in our small town.
We were able to drop off the food in the foyer.
A simple way to show gratitude this month is to donate to a food bank. Let us work together to eliminate hunger.
We believe that in each year, month, week, and for us, weekend that we want to balance Adventure and Retreat.
Adventure is a time when you step out of your day to day routine.
It can be an activity that educates you, opens you up more, allows you to face your fear, exposes you to another way of doing things. We see adventure as stepping outside of what is required of you and into what challenges you. An adventure may be heading out on a white water rafting trip, traveling to a new place, or seeing with new eyes in a local museum.
We like to follow up a time of Adventure with a time of Retreat.
We see Retreat as a returning. It is a returning to home or comfort or quiet. It allows time to rest the mind and body as well as reflect. Retreat can include times of pampering, like drinking a favorite warm drink, sitting by the fire. It can also be simple and quiet. Retreat is the time when we recognize how we want to realign to our core values, principles and intentions.
When we as a family, a couple, and as individuals live a balanced life of adventure and retreat, we are able to stretch ourselves and reflect on how that stretching impacted us.
Our intentional Tuesday challenge to you is to choose a couple of Adventures and balance them with times of reflection and Retreat.
This month we are Adventuring into gratitude, we will be giving to a food bank this week (by donating at a local police station. Have you done this? Something similar?
Because one of our words for the year is "Lighthearted" we have been going to comedy and improv shows it has been wonderful choosing to laugh.
If you could plan a simple time of retreat in your home what would that look like for your family?
This weekend we drank mulled apple cider and ate donuts.
We cozied up by the fire and talked about what we are grateful for.
We like to drive to the ocean and sit and brainstorm about the month (or week) ahead.
Colton loves to draw when he thinks about things.
Andrew and I both like writing.
Take some time this month to Adventure and Retreat.

Brazil, Italy
What Italy's Tangentopoli in 1992 political trauma can teach Brazil in 2016
Interim president Michel Temer was booed at the opening ceremony for the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. (Facebook)
Given ancient Rome's delight in all things Hellenistic, it's perhaps surprising that it took until 1960 for the Italian capital to win its turn hosting the Summer Olympic Games.
Those 1960 Games, however, showcased a Rome that, in barely more than a decade, rose from the ashes of World War II's devastation. Under the guidance of U.S. and western allies and under the aegis of the Catholic, conservative Democrazia Cristiana (Christian Democrats), the 1960 Games forecast a competent and determined Italy that would, for the next three decades, leap forward economically in surprising and creative ways.
Though Italy today seems often trapped in sclerotic and tradition-bound ways, it wasn't outlandish to say that Italy in 1960 was still a country of the future.
That evergreen label, too, is affixed to Brazil. It's the country of the future, the old chestnut goes… and it always will be.
When Rio de Janeiro was awarded the Olympic Games in 2009, it looked like that future, always just beyond the horizon, was finally within reach. In 2010, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva marked the last of eight years in power. With GDP growth of 7.5%, the frothiest Brazilian economy in a quarter-century, and with extreme poverty nearly eliminated across Brazil through a series of social welfare, transfer and educational programs, it was a victory lap for a figure who had become the most mythic colossus of the Latin American left. Though Brazil's 2010 boom was part of a short-lived emerging economies bubble, things were still looking up for Brazil as recently as 2014, when Lula da Silva's hand-picked successor, Dilma Rousseff, narrowly won reelection – the fourth consecutive term for the Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers' Party), defeating both Marina Silva, a charismatic third-way economic leftist and evangelical Christian who would have been Brazil's first leader of African descent, and conservative Aécio Neves, a telegenic and well-regarded senator and successful former governor of Minas Gerais.
Even then, it was still possible to regard the historic 2016 Games, the first to be held in South America, as notice that at long last, Brazil would be a country of the present. Instead, the country today is in political and economic crisis. Far from announcing Brazil as a major economic power, the Rio Games themselves have become a symbol of economic inequality and government misrule. At best, they have been an opportunity (as much for Brazilians as for Trump-weary and Clinton-fatigued Americans) to forget politics for two weeks.

Brazil might not be better off in a post-Dilma world
March 22, 2016 Kevin Lees	Leave a comment
Michel Temer, Brazil's vice president, comes from an ideology-free party devoted primarily to remaining in power. (Facebook)
It's looking increasingly likely that Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff might not make it through the end of her term in January 2019.
On March 12, Rousseff's main coalition partner, the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party) announced that it would take a full month to reconsider its support for Rousseff, currently in her second term and what amounts to the fourth consecutive term of the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, Workers Party) that began with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's 2002 election victory.
Since mid-March, the drive to impeach Rousseff has only intensified, with prosecutors seeking to interview and possibly detain Lula da Silva himself, the godfather of not just the Brazilian left but the entire Latin American left. Rousseff attempted to appoint Lula da Silva as her chief of staff to give him the kind of ministerial role that he would need to evade potential investigation, though Brazil's supreme court blocking the appointment in short order. Though Rousseff herself has not been personally implicated in the Petrobras scandal (whereby officials gave kickbacks to politicians in exchange for inflated construction contracts), investigators believe that Lula da Silva might be more deeply involved.
Lula da Silva, incredibly, might be arrested at any moment, which would almost certainly accelerate the push to impeach Rousseff on obscure charges about obfuscation of Brazil's state finances during the 2014 election campaign. Also, incredibly, impeachment isn't the only way that Rousseff might be forced from office. If it emerges that she won the 2014 presidential election through illicit money, she and the vice president could be removed through the cassação process that could vacated the election altogether.
Either way, the presidency would end up in either the hands of the PMDB: in the case of impeachment, vice president Michel Temer or, in the case that the 2014 election is annulled, the speaker of the Brazilian congress's lower house, the Chamber of Deputies (Câmara dos Deputados), Eduardo Cunha.
Neither result would give Brazilians much comfort about the state of their country's government.

What are the chances of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment?
March 4, 2015 Kevin Lees	Leave a comment
Despite headlines that are raising eyebrows both in Brazil and abroad, talk of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment is still more smoke than fire.
But the risk of impeachment proceedings will only increase as the corruption scandal surrounding Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. ('Petrobras'), the state oil company, intensifies. Though impeachment talk may be premature today, it will not be so farfetched if Rousseff is personally linked to the Petrobras kickbacks or if it's found that illegal funds financed Rousseff's reelection campaign last year.
Nearly two million Brazilians have now signed a petition demanding her impeachment, and rising protests throughout a handful of Brazilian cities could spread more widely — perhaps even to levels seen during the 2013 protests.
As Brazil readies to host the first-ever South American Summer Olympics in 2016, Rousseff will brace for more criticism that the country can ill afford new stadiums at a time when many Brazilians, especially in Rio de Janeiro and its largest cities, still live in poverty. The real's value has dropped by more than 25% in the last year, inflation is rising, GDP growth is expected to stall in 2015 and Rousseff has committed to new austerity policies to allay fears in the bond markets about Brazil's budget. More ominously, as her approval ratings plummet, and she faces emboldened domestic opposition, Brazilians have a ready precedent in the impeachment of Fernando Collor 23 years ago.
RELATED: Petrobras scandal highlights 12 years of Brazilian corruption
Rousseff, who narrowly won reelection last October, served as Brazil's minister for mines and energy between 2003 and 2005, when the alleged corruption abuses are said to have begun. Even if Rousseff doesn't face formal impeachment hearings, the whiff of scandal surrounding her adds to the sense that Rousseff and her party, the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, Workers Party), now in its fourth consecutive term in power, have become hopelessly corrupt. That could undermine Rousseff's efforts to accomplish much in her second presidential term, including efforts to turn around Brazil's stumbling economy. It could also complicate any efforts by beloved former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (pictured above with Rousseff) to make a comeback bid in 2018.

Video of the day: Brazil needs a 'Straight Pride'?
February 27, 2015 Kevin Lees	Leave a comment
It was something of an odd remark by the new president of Brazil's Câmara dos Deputados (Chamber of Deputies), Eduardo Cunha, whose elevation to the top post in the lower house of the Brazilian congress came just three weeks ago.
Typically described as either a tough insider in the vein of Frank Underwood, the protagonist of House of Cards, or an independent-minded speaker sure to challenge beleaguered Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff, Cunha's off-hand comments that December 3 should be celebrated as 'straight pride' day have backfired, causing one response (embedded above) to go viral, first in Brazil and now globally.
Though same-sex marriage has been legal since 2013, when the country's top court issued a ruling to that effect, Brazil remains a country where homophobia remains a problem, especially in its more rural and conservative enclaves. Former presidential candidate Marina Silva, who surged in the polls late last summer, started to tumble after backtracking on her support for gay marriage. In 2010, Rousseff stumbled when her opponent, José Serra, suggested she was too pro-abortion. With a growing number of evangelicals (including both Cunha and Silva) and a strong base of Catholics, Brazil is still a deeply religion country. Rousseff, for the record, still opposes full marriage equality as well, though she supports civil unions, and she pledged her support for an anti-homophobia bill — an initiative that seems unlikely now that Cunha controls Brazil's lower house.
Cunha (pictured above) is a member of the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party), a big-party tent that played a role in promoting democracy during military rule in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. Today, though, it's something of an ally of convenience — the PMDB boosts Rousseff's government in power just as it did for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva before her and for the more conservative Fernando Henrique Cardoso. It's generally viewed on the more corrupt side of the political spectrum, and it includes all sorts of ideologies (like most of Brazil's political parties, large and small).
So officials like Cunha, ostensibly allies, are far more conservative than Rousseff or the political mainstream on social issues, even though he's likely to block her administration's moves to cut spending to reduce the country's budget deficit in her second term. Realistically, though the PMDB is Rousseff's ally, Cunha personally opposes much of Rousseff's agenda, and his elevation as Chamber president essentially means that Rousseff will face an unfriendly legislative branch in her second term — at least as long as her political popularity continues to sink.
That Cunha was elected in the first place came as a shock within Rousseff's Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, Workers' Party). Though Rousseff recently won reelection last October, a corruption scandal at the state oil company, Petrobras, and a deepening recession (exacerbating by falling global oil prices) have hurt Rousseff politically, even while Lula da Silva contemplates a comeback to the Brazilian presidency in 2018.
Cunha's remarks should come as no surprise, though. It's not even the first time he has pontificated aloud over a 'Straight Pride' day. He's also staunchly anti-abortion, and he said shortly after his election as Chamber president that a law to liberalize Brazil's tight abortion restrictions would pass only 'over his dead body.'

Collection 32 - Charles Goodnight Collection

Charles Goodnight Collection
Goodnight, Charles, 1836-1929
Charles Goodnight was born 5 March 1836, in Macoupin County, Illinois. He moved with his family to near Nashville-on-the-Brazos, Milam County, Texas, in 1845. In 1857, Goodnight and his step-brother, John Wesley Sheek trailed a herd of cattle up the Brazos River to the Keechi valley, in Palo Pinto County, Texas. During this time, Goodnight became acquainted with Oliver Loving, who was also running cattle. Goodnight joined Capt. Jack Cureton's rangers, with whom he served as a scout and guide, participating in the raid on 18 December 1860 in which Cynthia Ann Parker was recaptured from the Comanche Indians. In the spring of 1866, Goodnight and Loving organized a cattle drive from Fort Belknap, Texas to the Pecos River, and up to Fort Sumner, New Mexico. This route became known as the "Goodnight-Loving Trail."
In 1869 Goodnight established his Rock Canon Ranch on the Arkansas River, west of Pueblo, Colorado, and married Molly Dyer on 26 July 1870. Goodnight eventually settled in Armstrong County, Texas, where he built a ranch house he dubbed the Home Ranch. After borrowing $30,000 from John G. Adair, Goodnight and Adair launched the JA Ranch, with Goodnight as resident manager. By Adair's death in 1885, the JA Ranch owned 1,325,000 acres, on which grazed more than 100,000 head of carefully bred cattle. As an early believer in improvement through breeding, Goodnight developed one of the nation's finest herds through the introduction of Hereford bulls. With his wife's encouragement, he also started a domestic buffalo herd, sired by a bull he named "Old Sikes," from which he developed the "cattalo" by crossing bison with Angus cattle.
In 1887, Goodnight sold his interest in the JA Ranch, and bought 160 sections in Armstrong County, Texas. He built a ranch house near Goodnight, Texas, into which he and his wife moved on 27 December 1887. He relocated his buffalo herd of 250 head to this ranch, which was organized as the Goodnight-Thayer Cattle Co. After selling his interest in the Goodnight-Thayer Co. in 1900, Goodnight limited his ranching activities to sixty sections surrounding his house. There he continued his experiments with buffalo, and also kept elk, antelope, and various other animals. Goodnight's wildlife preservation efforts gained the attention of such naturalists as Edmund Seymour, and American Bison Society member Martin S. Garretson. Goodnight also grew Armstrong County's first wheat crop, and conducted various agricultural experiments.
The Goodnights had no children. After his wife's death in April 1926, Goodnight became ill, and was nursed back to health by Corinne Goodnight, a young nurse from Butte, Montana. On March 5, 1927, Goodnight married the twenty-six year old Corinne. Shortly afterward they sold the ranch and bought a summer house in Clarendon. Goodnight died on December 12, 1929, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Macloed has developed into a formidable back row forward, capable of playing anywhere across the back of the scrum. A physically imposing player, Macleod is also athletic and a quick on his feet, and able to trundle his way over the gain-line when required. As he matures, you can expect Josh to feature significantly in future Scarlets successes in the back row.


Her strained relationship to her art is thus determined almost entirely by her gender, so that from both her anxieties and her strategies for overcoming them we can extrapolate a number of the crucial ways in which women's art has been radically qualified by their femaleness. Indeed, to many critics and scholars, some of these literary women look like isolated eccentrics. In other words, she succeeds in doing what Isabella is so mercilessly punished for wanting to do, making a good match. By permission of the publishers and the Trustees of Amherst College. These are merely the demagogic responses of authors who have neither the personal acquaintance nor the professional competence to make such diagnoses.
Indeed, when this early work was published post- humously — because its author could not find a publisher who would print it during her lifetime — it was the harsh portrayal of the patriarch that most disturbed reviewers. I'm too busy writing brilliant poetry to be bothered with all of that. In addition, as we shall show in detail in later chapters, Mary Shelley, Emily Bronte, and George Eliot covertly reappraise and repudiate the misogyny implicit in Milton's mythology by misreading and revising Milton's story of woman's fall. Gubar puts her effort into literary context. Throughout the history of Western culture, moreover, male-engendered female figures as superficially disparate as Milton's Sin, Swift's Chloe, and Yeats's Crazy Jane have incarnated men's ambivalence not only toward female sexuality but toward their own male physicality. Similarly, Charlotte Bronte's critical revision of Pilgrim's Progress questions the patriarchal ideal of female submissiveness by sub- stituting a questing Everywoman for Bunyan's questing Christian. Mellor gave her 1988 book.
Gubar, she is working on a new book. But if those of us who now dwell mostiy in the academy can in every sense recall the blissful originatory moment I mentioned earlier — the fleeting yet fiery instant when we feminists of the seventies real- ized that the personal was the political, the sexual was the textual, and so forth — we may find a clue as to how we should proceed. The syllabus that became the basis for The Mad- woman probably reflected a canon that lived in the mind of just about every femme moyenne intellectuelle who spent her girlhood avidly devouring the classics of the female imagination produced by Austen and the Brontes, Mary Shelley and George Eliot, and yes, if the girl liked poetry, Emily Dickinson. Gubar finished writing her memoir in December of 2010, and after a surgery the following month to fix the hole in her colon and relieve the abscess, she is feeling better. Publication date 1979 Media type Print The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination is a 1979 book by and , in which they examine from a perspective. Gubar has found the energy to advise a committee in the English department, which is searching for her replacement.
At first she is sure she will pursue only one round of chemotherapy, but then surprises herself when she succumbs to her oncologist's recommendations for more she's now had three. Infection in the Sentence: The Woman Writer and the Anxiety of Authorship 45 3. She says not a word about the detailed treatment of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Baudelaire, Swinburne, Whitman, or Emily Dickinson. Devouring numberless volumes in a den as dark as Errour's, she is surrounded by relatives like Ignorance, Pride, Opinion, Noise, Impudence, and Pedantry, and she herself is as allegorically deformed as any of Spenser's females. The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination, which Yale University Press published in 1979, was hailed for identifying a distinctly female literary tradition through the writings of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Dickinson, and other Victorian authors.
As I left this gloomy cave — kingdom of immanence, womb, and tomb — in the corridor leading upward toward the light of day I passed the male, dressed in white, well groomed, smiling, sunny. Gubar paid a graduate student at Indiana to translate some of the verses into English. His theory, however, suggests only a father and son relationship between past and present writers. Jennifer DeVere Brody's Impossible Purities: Blackness, Femininity, and Victorian Culture 1998 can stand for the incursion of black feminist theo- ry and African-American studies into Victorian studies. She also discovers an effective subterfuge for a severe critique of her culture.
Both gothic and anti-gothic writers represent themselves as split like Emily Dickinson between the elected nun and the damned witch, or like Mary Shelley between the noble, censorious scientist and his enraged, childish monster. Ermath, Sequel to History 1992 p. A house with roof so darkly low The heavy rafters shut the sunlight out; One cannot stand erect without a blow; Until the soul inside Cries for a grave — more wide. She does not reject these, she reinvents them. How can she remember it and become a member of it, join it and rejoin it, integrate it and in doing so achieve her own integrity, her own selfhood? Every trivial social occasion, each of the many visits and calls endured if not enjoyed by the heroines, reminds us that women are dependent on fathers or brothers for even this most limited form of movement, when they are not indebted to wealthy widows who censure and criticize officiously.
Yet, as I see it, the poem is about the function and surrender of the female artist to Christian prohibitions against female desire. Just as their successors revel in their subsequent transformation of the field, we hope our successors in feminist criticism will also. I went after the mother-figure in my dream, brandishing a large knife; on its blade was writing. With nothing to do in the world, Sophia and Laura become addicts of feeling. That there emphatically was such a tradition became clearer every day. Notably, they were jointly named Ms.
Tilney, Catherine is understand- ably obsessed with the figure of the last Mrs. One suspects that Austen, like Marianne Dashwood, appreciates Pope no more than is proper. As for our earliest hostile critics, they too lacked nuance. For if contemporary women do now attempt the pen with energy and authority, they are able to do so only because their eighteenth- and nineteenth-century foremothers struggled in isoladon that felt like illness, alienation that felt like madness, obscurity that felt like paralysis to overcome the anxiety of authorship that was endemic to their literary subculture. As we shall see, therefore, infection continually breeds in the sentences of women whose writing obsessively enacts this drama of enclosure and escape. On the one hand, therefore, the woman writer's male precursors symbolize authority; on the other hand, despite their authority, they fail to define the ways in which she experiences her own identity as a writer. Shade of a shadow in the glass, O set the crystal surface free! Suicide is more respect- able.

Everything You Need to Know About a Hysterectomy
Getting to understand hysterectomies before you go under the knife
Within the pelvic cavity, two ovaries connect via the fallopian tubes to the centrally positioned uterus, creating the female reproductive system. These organs produce female growth hormones, release ova (eggs), control the menstrual cycle, and oversee pregnancy, gestation, and the birth of a baby. Any damage or complication in any part of the reproductive system may call for the surgical pulling out of the uterus (hysterectomy) to avert any threat to overall health.
The decision to get a hysterectomy done is an important one, and should not be taken lightly. Deciding to have to have a Hysterectomy depends on the type of problems you are having and how bad they are. It also depends on whether you need major surgery to make your life better or, if you have a life threatening illness, to prolong your life. You need to discuss this with your surgeon.
What Is a Partial Hysterectomy?

The Prevalence of Hysterectomies as a Lifesaving Necessity
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 20 million American women have undergone a hysterectomy; making it the second most widely resorted to surgical practice after cesarean delivery.
Threats That Prompt the Surgical Removal of the Uterus
Cancer: A hysterectomy becomes a preventive measure when cancer invades the ovaries, uterus, or cervix (the passage connecting the uterus and vagina).
Endometriosis: The inner uterine wall called the endometrium lays the foundation for fetal growth. In some instances, the lining starts growing outwards into the pelvic cavity creating pain and causing female infertility.
Uterine fibroids: These are abnormal but mostly non-cancerous growths of muscle and tissue within the uterine wall that trigger abnormal bleeding and painful menstruation.
Uterine prolapse: In this condition, the supporting musculature and ligaments that keep the uterus in place begin to weaken, pushing the uterus into the vaginal passage, creating a lumpy unpleasant sensation.
Menorrhagia: This is the abnormally heavy bleeding that accompanies menstruation, and is usually triggered by non-cancerous growths within the endometrial lining of the uterus or an uncontrollable infection.
Different types of Hysterectomies
Total Hysterectomy- The body of the uterus and cervix is removed, but not the ovaries or fallopian tubes.
Sub-total Hysterectomy –Removal of the body of the uterus but not the cervix.
Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy- The womb, cervix, fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) and the ovaries (oophorectomy) are removed.
Radical Hysterectomy- Removal of the whole uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries, lymph glands and fatty tissue.
Hysterectomies Are Carried Out in Three Different Ways
The abdominal cut: The uterus is completely removed through an incision made in the lower navel, and both internal wounds and the incision are surgically sealed.
The vaginal cut: The uterus is removed by cutting the upper reaches of the vaginal passage.
Laparoscopic surgery: Also called keyhole surgery, the surgeon, guided by a camera and a specialized tool called the laparoscope, removes the uterus either partially or completely through small cuts in the abdomen.
Risks Involved in Conducting Hysterectomies
The patient may develop sensitivity to anesthesia and follow-up medication.
Adjoining organs and supportive structures may suffer damage, requiring further surgery.
The risk of acquiring infections that need intensive treatment.
Tiny blood clots may clog arterial vessels creating cerebral or cardiac embolisms.
Difficulty in breathing.
Uncontrolled bleeding.
Risks involved in not having a Hysterectomy
The risks involved in not having the procedure will depend on the reason for the surgery:
If your problem is prolonged bleeding then you may develop anemia, which may need blood transfusions, and continued problems with heavy and irregular periods.
If uterine prolapse is the reason for your surgery then not undergoing it can cause the uterus to drop down into the vagina and even outside the vagina where it can develop ulcers and cause considerable pain and discomfort.
If you have a suspected tumor, then possible spread of cancer may result.
Recovering from a Hysterectomy
Post surgery, on recovering from the anesthetic you will be taken to your ward/room to recover until you are well enough to go home. You will need to visit the hospital again for follow up. Do expect to feel tired for sometime after surgery. You need to take things easy and gradually return to normal duties, as you feel able to.
Busting Common Misconceptions – A Hysterectomy Fact File
Does a Hysterectomy Lead to Menopause?
A hysterectomy is only concerned with the elimination of the uterus with or without the cervix, and the ovaries are left undisturbed. Since the ovaries, the primary source of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, remain intact, a hysterectomy does not trigger menopause.
Is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Difficult?
The muscular nature and size of the uterus are not impediments to its laparoscopic removal as commonly believed. Using a morcellator, the surgeon slices and minces the uterine tissue into smaller components before removing the uterus through keyhole surgery.
Does It Take Forever to Recover and Resume Normal Activity, Post-Hysterectomy?
Laparoscopic surgery achieves the task (uterus removal) quickly through a keyhole-sized incision in the navel, and the patient does not require hospitalization beyond two days. The laparoscope gives the surgeon a commanding view of major blood vessels, nerves, and supporting structures, and lowers the risk of developing complications during surgery. Patients are encouraged to walk and continue normal activity soon after surgery.
Does a Hysterectomy Kill Our Libido?
A hysterectomy causes no changes in sexual ardor or activity. An orgasm is basically an event coordinated by the autonomous and central nervous systems through the skeletal muscles of the pelvis and diaphragm. The smooth cell walls of the vagina and possibly the anus also play a part in arousal. Loss of the uterus does not affect sexual energy and activity.
Does a Cesarean Section Rule out Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
No, a cesarean operation does not get in the way of the procedure for removing the uterus. Sometimes, after the cesarean operation, adjoining organs such as the bladder and bowels may adhere to the uterus or cervix, changing the anatomy of the area. The laparoscope enables the surgeon to revisit the abdomen to remove anatomical abnormalities.

The New St. Nicholas Church () is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 7 Popa Șapcă Street in Focșani, Romania. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas.

The church is situated at the border between two former estates, and was founded by vassals of the Princes of Wallachia. It was mentioned as a monastery in 1694, originally a wooden church from the 1680s. That structure burned in 1732, and was rebuilt the same year. Paharnic Constantin Năsturel paid for the new structure, made of thick brick with a porch.

The interior was painted after 1746, with the ktetors appearing on the south wall. Various donors financed later expansions, including a lot for the parish house and a large bell. As of 1819, the parish was considered among the best maintained and endowed in the Buzău Diocese.

The church features a trefoil shape, with polygonal apses and a westerly porch. The bell tower is adjacent to the north wall of the narthex, on its exterior. The upper part of the tower is hexagonal, with its own roof. The porch, initially open, has stone columns supporting semicircular arches. Further columns and arches separate the narthex and nave. The facade is in two registers of brick, divided by a projecting row. The window frames are carved with plant motifs.

The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Is she sending flirting signals or telling you to take a hike? Women are master communicators, but it can be a challenge for men to read flirting signals if they don't know the basics. When it comes to flirting, women can be unpredictable, so it helps to know what signs to notice.
Is She Sending Flirting Signals?
Laughter: It's a good sign if you're telling jokes and she is enjoying herself. You will notice her laughing and also see a smile in her eyes.
Playfulness: She might touch you playfully or try to evoke a sense of fun into the conversation so that you'll want to stay longer and talk more.
Proximity: She will allow you to remain close to her if she is flirting and you might even notice her friends step aside. She will also make excuses to come near you or will sit next to you.
Eye Contact: If she likes you, she'll look at you and she won't look away, especially when you are in the middle of a conversation. If she sees you from across the room, she will look at you and quickly look away a few times.
Mirroring: Notice if she is mimicking your body language or if you touch her and she touches you back.
Twirling Hair: She might touch her hair or twirl it around her finger as a subtle clue she is flirting.
Texting: If a woman is interested she might send you text messages as a flirting tactic and to get you thinking about her.
Just as it's importing to know the answer to is she sending flirting signals, it's also important to know when to back off. If a woman gets turned off too quickly you might completely lose your chance.
She looks bored even though you're energized: Just because you think you are having a good time doesn't mean she feels the same way. Watch for clues or ask her how she is doing and gauge her response. Also, a quiet moment isn't necessarily a bad thing. It helps to notice if she's mirroring your energy levels or holding back.
She looks around the room a lot when you're talking: This might be her best way of telling you she wants out of the conversation and is not interested.
She keeps moving further away from you: While she might just be shy, if she suspects your interest and is moving away, rather than leaning closer, this tells you she isn't flirting.
She doesn't reciprocate the flirting: If you are putting the moves on a woman and she is deflecting your advances by not flirting in return, or if she looks like she is ready to get up and leave, she is probably not flirting.
She tells you she isn't interested: This is an obvious signal, so if you hear it, respect her wishes. Interestingly, women are more likely to think about you if they suddenly realize you have lost all interest, so giving up might actually get her back.
Like any social skill, flirting takes practice, but once you've done it enough times you'll be able to tell if a woman is flirting in return. Keeping it on a light, fun, and no expectations level will help you become a flirting expert in no time.

The Associação - Crioulos de Base Lexical Portuguesa e Espanhola was founded in 2001, although the scholarly study of these languages goes back to the early days of the academic interest in language contact. Hugo Schuchardt, a German linguist teaching at the University of Graz (Austria) whose work from the 1880s to the 1920s made him the father of creole studies, focused particularly on the Portuguese-based creoles. His first study, published in 1882, was also the first article to document the Portuguese-based creole of São Tomé, and he went on to write articles describing the creoles of Annobón, Senegal, Cape Verde, Príncipe, as well as Indo-Portuguese and Malayo-Portuguese, but also the Spanish-based creoles of the Philippines. Schuchardt corresponded with the Portuguese philologist Adolpho Coelho, who wrote a series of articles between 1880 and 1886 on overseas varieties of Portuguese and Portuguese-based creoles. Their collaboration was very productive and encouraged the publication of the first descriptions of a number of Portuguese-based creoles written by scholars who were Portuguese in the sense that they lived in Portugal's empire but were in fact speakers of or had privileged access to the creoles they described, e.g. António de Paula Brito (on Capeverdean), Marcellino Marques de Barros (on Guiné-Bissau Creole Portuguese) and Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado (on several varieties of Indo-Portuguese).
After the blossoming of creole studies in Portugal – from 1880 to 1920 – and a little later in the Spanish-speaking world, there was a distinctly barren period with not many Portuguese or Spaniards working in the field. Thus few Portuguese and Spanish linguists participated in the rapid growth of creole studies that began in the 1960s in the Caribbean area, the United States of America and northern Europe. Until the 1990s, most of the research on the Iberian-based creoles was carried out by a limited number of non-Iberian linguists, with only a few exceptions. However, in June of 1991, Alain Kihm and Ernesto d'Andrade organized the first colloquium on the Portuguese-based creoles to be held in Portugal, at the University of Lisbon. The participation of leading creolists from around the world boosted the visibility of the field in Portugal and planted the seed for the formation of ACBLPE.
By that time, learned associations for the study of creole languages had already been established, including the Society for Caribbean Linguistics (founded in 1972), the Comité International des Études Créoles (1976) and the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics (1989). Finally, in 2001, they were joined by the Associação - Crioulos de Base Lexical Portuguesa e Espanhola, which held its first meeting at Coimbra University. Later that year, the Associação Brasileira de Estudos Crioulos e Similares was founded in Brazil. The ACBLPE regularly holds joint meetings with most of these associations, in the Iberian Peninsula and elsewhere (see "Past meetings"). It has been established that the yearly meetings of the ACBLPE should alternate between Portugal/Spain and other parts of the world, which has allowed the association to achieve the global reach it currently has while at the same time fulfilling its purpose to develop creole studies in the Iberian Peninsula.
