London Poetry
Poetry Masterclasses
Poetry Hospital
When we were founded in 2008, we began this journey wanting to make the arts, particularly poetry, accessible. We have done this since 2008 through our magazine and our classes. We think everyone regardless of wealth, race, gender or background should have access to the arts.
In 2008 austerity hit the arts world hard. The situation is very bleak across the UK for poetry. Print poetry is in steep decline.
In 2008 we knew we wanted poetry to be accessible and not restricted to only to those who could afford to pay, whether that is afford to pay to become the poet or afford to pay to read the poetry. Because funding for the arts is at an all time low we want to give people the opportunity to contribute financially, in ways that work for them, meaning that we could provide our readers – regardless of where they live, how much they earn or how they like to get their poetry – a way to support the arts world, tied in deeply with the liberal and progressive ethos on which South Bank Poetry was founded.
Your support since 2008 has meant so much, and helps protect the arts world, allowing us to discover and publish the best new poetry being written now.
Your support could enable us to continue publishing for another 10 years. Without you, it would be much harder to do this.
It is your support that means we can focus on discovering new writers, regardless of their background.
That is what we are trying to do: to give you the poetry being written today so that, you can make sense of what is happening in the world around you; and to inspire you, through ideas and imagination, to find an alternative. Thank you for considering to support us and the arts world.

All-Russian Museum of Folk Arts and Crafts together with magazine "Decorative Art" represent the project from the cycle "Artist of "DA" Circle" - "Space of an Object". The meaning of an "object" is out of firm definitions: our intuition tells us that this artistic stuff is something between painting and sculpture. Russia is the home of such "objective" way of thinking as well as of abstraction.

At NATO, Trump Slams Germany as Being 'Captive' to Russia
By Steve Herman
U.S. President Donald Trump gestures while speaking to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during their bilateral breakfast, Wednesday, July 11, 2018 in Brussels, Belgium.
BRUSSELS - A meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization began on a confrontational note on Wednesday with U.S. President Trump singling out Germany for criticism, accusing the largest and wealthiest Europeanmember of the defense alliance of being a "captive" of Russia.
During a breakfast meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump pointedly criticized Germany for allowing Russian energy company Gazprom to construct the Nord Stream 2 pipeline through its waters.
"Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia," asserted Trump.
"How can you be together when a country is getting its energy from the country you want protection against?" the president added, questioning NATO's collective defense principle.
WATCH: Steve Herman's video report
Germany, according to the U.S. leader, "got rid of their coal plants, got rid of their nuclear, they're getting so much of the oil and gas from Russia. I think it's something NATO has to look at."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel — during her arrival later — noted she knew all too well from her childhood in the East what it is like to live under Soviet control. But energy deals with Russia, she explained, do not make 21st century Berlin beholden to Moscow.
"I am very happy that today we are united in freedom as the Federal Republic of Germany. Because of that we can say that we can make our independent policies and make independent decisions,"she said.
A more forceful rebuttal of Trump's comments came from German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas who told reporters on the sidelines of the NATO summit that the Germans are not prisoners, neither of Russia nor of the United States.Maas pointed out that Germany is to increase defense spending by 80 percent by 2024, which "is of such a magnitude that it should be recognized."
Proponents of the $10 billion offshore natural gas pipeline running from Russia assert it enhances Europe's energy security and diversification and helps the continent reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
"We did discuss that," replied Trump when asked by a reporter if he had raised the issue of the Russian pipeline to Germany with Merkel when the two met on the sidelines of the summit.Trump also praised U.S. ties with Germany, saying "We have a very very good relationship with the Chancellor. We have a tremendous relationship with Germany."
Trump on Wednesday also kept up his demands for NATO members to contribute more money to the defense alliance that has been the linchpin of the West's post-World War Two military cooperation.
"The United States is paying far too much and other countries are not paying enough," complained Trump. "This has been going on for decades, it's disproportionate and not fair to the taxpayers of the United States."Trump also took credit for beginning a reversal of declining defense spending among NATO members.
He took to Twitter later in the day to urge NATO members to immediately contribute two percent of their GDP to the alliance.
What good is NATO if Germany is paying Russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? Why are there only 5 out of 29 countries that have met their commitment? The U.S. is paying for Europe's protection, then loses billions on Trade. Must pay 2% of GDP IMMEDIATELY, not by 2025.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 11, 2018
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg finds himself in the uncomfortable position of trying to bridge differences between the United States and the other 28 members of the alliance.
"My main task is to try to keep us together and I do that by trying to find common ground," explained Stoltenberg.
The NATO secretary-general acknowledges there are substantial differences between the allies. "The gas pipeline from Russia to Germany is one issue where allies disagree," said Stoltenberg in a reply to Mr. Trump's comments. "But the strength of NATO is despite these differences we have always been able to unite around our core task, to protect and defend each other, because we understand we are stronger together than apart."
Stoltenberg said that while the burden of defense spending remains unfair, that is changing.
"Europe and North America are doing more together, we're not weakening," according to Stoltenberg. He also noted that since Trump became president, U.S. funding for the defense of Europe "has increased by 40 percent."
European leaders, since Trump's election nearly 18 months ago, have fretted and fumed about the president's bashing but have hesitated to lash back publicly. That changed on Tuesday just as the U.S. president was leaving for the trip across the Atlantic Ocean.
"Dear America, appreciate your allies. After all, you don't have that many," remarked European Commission President Donald Tusk, adding that Trump's "criticizing Europe almost daily" is no way to treat a good ally.
During the NATO summit on Wednesday and Thursday, Trump is also holding an unspecified number of one-on-one meetings with other European leaders, according to White House officials.
Observers say those leaders are certain to be anxious after the U.S. president berated his fellow leaders on trade at the recent Group of Seven summit in Canada. They note there is particular unease over Trump's not hesitating to link security cooperation and trade differences at those encounters, something previous U.S. administrations had been careful to keep separate.
Following the discussions in Belgium, Trump heads to Britain, where he is to be hosted by British Prime Minister Theresa May, who suddenly finds herself embroiled in domestic political upheaval stemming from intra-party disagreement over terms for the country's exit from the EU, known as Brexit.
After visits to England and Scotland, where the president owns two golf resorts, Trump will go to Helsinki for a highly anticipated summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Frankly, Putin may be the easiest of them all," relative to the anticipated contentious encounters with America's traditional European allies, Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.

Eglantyne Stewart is a vampiress famous among mortals for her "fictitious" vampire books and children's literature, and tabloid scandals. She owns a converted warehouse south of The City and lives there with a small entourage of young vampires and monsters such as the winnowy Tracy, or the kooky Loopy who all seem mesmerized by her. She also seems to have the Master and Stavros in her back pocket. Though she professes to have no interest in the politics of The City, she is nevertheless implicated whenever anything important is happening, usually deeply. Eglantyne keeps alive by means of an alien Blood Substitute Serum (BSS9009) which she distills for herself and her minions in a secret location. Though she says she has been dead but a few years, she has the presence of a very elder vampire.
The Rakshasa is a puzzling creature, seemingly able to mimick everything a human does or feels, and yet so inhuman. It feeds off of dreams, making them into reality, creating all manner of havoc and chaos in The City. Seeking to unravel the ephemeral mysteries of mortality, the Rakshasa has become half-human, and adopted the personae of two mortals: One is a young punk girl attending junior high, the other is Robyn Stoker- Action 6 news reporter, which she adopted under mysterious circumstances, inheriting a husband and an errant daughter, December, who hates monsters. It lives in the suburbs.
Janlop was cursed 1000 years ago to live as the "jackal" he was, and hasn't learned much in getting here. He is unprincipled and selfish, conniving and cruel, in short-- he is a true monster with no delusions of morality. Janlop owns the Falafel Kingdom, a struggling egyptian restaurant, and keeps largely to himself. Since his mass slaughter of 30 people caused the city's monsters to nearly be wiped out by the Red Moon, and the subsequent creation of XTRANS, he is not very popular among his own kind, though the Master has quite a soft spot in his heart for this fiend who is truly a fiend.
Chance Hunter aka "Skan" is a man who becomes a reptile, a discovery he made through spiritualism. Chance is a peaceful, pacifistic man who owns a Dojo and teaches self-defense, whereas Skan seems to have a tendency towards chaos and violence. Chance is assisted by Lacy, a young punk were-rat who also seeks peace. Under the Dojo are special cells where monsters can go and hide when they are hunted or persecuted. It is known in the city that if something must be guarded or protected, to seek out Chance Hunter.
Alex Wolf is a young werewolf who is just being born onto the wolf of man, who has lived up until now as a wolf only. Already a king among canines, he commands stray dogs and a wolf pack, and yet as a human is just a young teen. He was adopted by a strange old woman who seems to think he is her son, and also is the protege of Stavros. Alex is an innocent, and quite simple, yet he has the savagery of the wild about him, and the nature of a leprechaun. He lives oftimes in the human world, and other times, in the wolf house in the zoo.
Mikal is a satyrn (or "dragon" as men know them) who was living on Earth 200 years ago and was taken into stasis during an alien invasion and only recently released. Confused by the changes in man, Mikal wishes to call back the past, and from his converted Chapel, he hoards his riches and guides the actions of a pack of hoodlums called the Knights to do his will. He is assisted by the alien technology of the Source, and visited by another of his kind, Chuxianpang, also new to Earth. As yet only fringing on city politics, he is one of the most powerful single beings in the city.
Perhaps most confused of all the damned in the city is Selenin, who was once an FBI agent and when he found an odd blue stone one night it forever changed him into some kind of alien bat parasite. He is tormented by empathic dreams and an odd feeling of connection to certain of the monsters in the city. He feels there is a purpose to his life, but still feels lost. No one truly understands his powers, he seems to have so many, but many of them are nothing but lethal bio-weapons. He is a powder keg, waiting to go off. Selenin runs the Tabloid, a staple of city life where all the news of the monster world is printed truthfully and factually and ignored by the general public and chuckled at. He also runs a gaming society for goths.
The Master is the self-styled King of the Undead in his city. The problem is, he has the power to back up his claim. Fortunately, he takes his duty to his "subjects" quite seriously and is there when a monster is in need. Unfortunately, he is also capricious, violent and has a rather odd sense of humor. He owns and operates NightStalkers and commands an army of soulless mortals, zombies and skeleton warriors to do his bidding. He is a useful ally, and a terrible adversary. He is extremely old, and speaks of periods in history very far back. It is not known if he even can be destroyed at all.

"Hi! I'm Troy! You may remember me from such [films, TV shows, dates] as..."
―McClure's catchphrase[src]
Troy McClure was often seen shitting products or hosting questions shows. He appeared from Season 2 until Season 10. Since then, Troy, along with two other Philber characters were died in his hoh
McClure was a stereotypical lol has-been, rereduced to appearing in lolquakk films and teve ision presenting joj. During the early 70s he had a highly succ acting career, but it had sis become worse.[1] He often appeared in short video clips seen on television or in a public place. He often was shown presenting educational viveos[2][3] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa disinfomercials.[4] When introducing anything that he does, McClure lists projects that he has previously done with the phrase "Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such [films, educational videos, voice overs, etc.] as..." and will mention two titles of a similar subject to that of the current performance he is giving.
McClure's career went downhill due to his reported unusual paraphililililililili, which apparently involved fish, to the point where he had not worked in twelve years. To cover this up, he began a relationship with Selma Bouvier, whom he had met when she gave him an eye test at DMV. This revived his career, leading him to star in Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off!, a musical version of the film Planet of the Apes. To further revive his career, McClure's agent suggested that he marry Selma, a proposal which she accepted. At his bachelor party, a drunken McClure told Homer Simpson that the marriage is just a sham to help his career. At the wedding, an unknowing Selma married Troy. Selma discovered that their marriage was a sham and although she accepted it, she drew the line when McClure's agent suggested that the pair have a child. As "all the big parts these days are going to family men" having a child would have secured McClure's casting as McBain's sidekick in "McBain IV: Fatal Discharge". Having rejected his offer, Selma left McClure. As a result McClure starred in his own independent film "The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel".[5]
In addition to his appearances within episodes, McClure presented the episodes "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" and "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase". The first is a behind the scenes look at The Simpsons, answering questions and featuring extra "never before seen" material.[6] The second is an episode presenting three possible spin-offs from The Simpsons.[7] Troy made his last appearance in the Season 10 episode Bart the Mother.
McClure was based on the typical "washed up" Hollywood actor, with inspiration for his character and name being drawn from B-movie actors Troy Donahue and Doug McClure.[8] Mike Reiss later met Doug McClure's daughter who revealed that her father had found the homage funny and McClure's children would call their father Troy McClure when his back was turned. Phil Hartman was cast in the role due to his ability to pull "the maximum amount of humor" out of any line he was given,[8] and McClure's visual appearance is similar to that of Hartman himself.[9] McClure drives a 1981 De Lorean DMC-12. McClure lives in his home, resembling the one from the movie 'Body Double', [1]in the upscale residential area of "Springfield Heights", which is also resided by Mob boss "Fat" Tony D'Amico and entertainer Krusty the Clown.
McClure's character is developed in "A Fish Called Selma", when a more in-depth look into his private life is shown. The episode is the only one in the entire run of the series that shows true emotion from Troy McClure.[1] Show runners Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein were big fans of Phil Hartman, and wished to make an episode entirely about McClure in order to give him as much to do as possible. From this came the idea of him marrying Selma Bouvier, as she was "always marrying people".[1] Having Troy McClure as the star of the episode pleased Animator Mark Kirkland, as he found McClure's voice great to animate to, allowing him and other animators to "open him up visually as a character".[1] It is hinted throughout the course of the episode that he has strange sexual behavior. Throughout the production of the episode, the writers did not know what the "unsavory" sexual preference was. They decided on a fish fetish, an idea James L. Brooks suggested as it was "so perverted and strange, it was over the top".[1] McClure's apparent fish fetish was mentioned by The Guardian in their article about a Swiss scientist's discovery that sticklebacks ejaculate more sperm after they have seen images of fish flirting.[10]
The last appearance of Troy McClure, and the last films he mentions are, "Earwigs, Eww," and "Man VS Nature: the Road to Victory."
Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife Brynn before taking her own life on May 28, 1998.[11] Rather than replace Hartman with a new voice actor, the production staff retired McClure, along with Hartman's other characters Lionel Hutz, and Billy often in his films from the show.[8] He last appeared in the season ten episode "Bart the Mother". Before his death, Phil Hartman had often expressed an interest in starring in a live action film about McClure, with several of the show's writers wanting to help make it.[12] Josh Weinstein stated that the plot of "A Fish Called Selma" could have worked well as a live action film.[1] Matt Groening later told Empire that the idea never "got further than enthusiasm" but that "it would have been really fun."[13]
Hartman was cast before his death as Zapp Brannigan in Matt Groening's Futurama. Billy West took over the role, and based his vocal performance on Hartman's characterizations, particularly McClure.[14]
Despite being retired, he is pictured in "The Simpsons Guy".
He also appears in a pixel art form in the opening sequence made for "My Fare Lady".

Cultural influence and legacy
In a 2006 article IGN.com ranked McClure in first position on their list of the "Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters", citing that he is "a wonderfully bizarre and entertaining character that showcases the best of what small roles on The Simpsons can be."[15] In his book Planet Simpson, Chris Turner describes McClure in detail citing that he, along with Lionel Hutz, "represent the most significant contribution to the show outside its permanent cast" and that "the show's Golden Age is hard to imagine without them". McClure became the perfect portrayal of a media stereotype and a "gut-achingly funny reinterpretation" of a character type that had been "done to death".[16] Adam Finley named Phil Hartman one of the five best guest stars on The Simpsons, saying that McClure was "responsible for some of the funniest moments in Simpsons history."[17] Star News Online named Hartman as one of the four hundred reasons why they loved The Simpsons, adding that they missed McClure.[18] The Observer listed McClure educational films Smoke Yourself Thin; Get Confident, Stupid!; Firecrackers: the Silent Killer and Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You-know-what as part of their list of the three hundred reasons why they loved the show.[19]
McClure's most prominent episode, "A Fish Called Selma", is often regarded as one of the best episodes in the show's history, and is one of the top five favorites of the staff.[1] Entertainment Weekly placed the episode eighth on their top 25 The Simpsons episode list.[20] IGN.com named the episode the best of the seventh season, stating that it seemed the "obvious pick". They also called the Planet of the Apes musical, which McClure stars in, the best moment of the episode and "maybe even the whole show".[21] Associated Content also praised the musical, naming it the ninth best musical number in The Simpsons history.[22] McClure was made into an action figure as part of the World of Springfield toy line, and was released in the "Celebrity Series 1" wave.[23] He also features briefly in the video game Virtual Springfield, introducing the town of Springfield to the player.[24]
A recent book on Phil Hartman is entitled You Might Remember Me, after McClure's signature catch phrase that he introduces himself with.

A 29-year-old National Service Personnel, doing his mandatory National Service at the Asante Mampong Branch of the GCB bank, has been remanded into prison custody by the Nsuta Circuit Court over alleged fraud.
Charles Elton Nana Amoah, the accused, is said to have defrauded 77 customers to the tune of GH₵112,650.00.
He pleaded not guilty to all three counts of stealing, defrauding by false pretences and falsification of documents and would reappear in court on April 25, this year.
Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector James Obeng, told the court presided over by Mrs. Lydia Osei Marfo, that the complainant was the Branch Manager of the Asante Mampong GCB, while the accused was a National Service personnel attached to the unit of the bank responsible for assisting customers, who want to open new accounts.
He said the accused then took advantage of his schedule and at different dates and time and stole the said amounts belonging to the customers.
According to the Prosecution, the crime was detected when a customer reported at the bank to withdraw an amount of GH₵1,900 out of GH₵3,000, which she had lodged in her accounts.
Mr Obeng said the customer became alarmed when she was told that there was no such money in her savings account, subsequently, she reported the matter to the Manager.
He said the suspect, who did not report to work on that day, was contacted by the Manager and sensing danger, the accused in response, quickly sent GH₵1,900 to the customer, through her mobile money wallet.
Chief Inspector Obeng said the Manager then became suspicious and decided to go through the value books handled by the accused person and noticed the fraud.
He said the accused was subsequently arrested and handed over to the Police and after investigations, he was charged with the offences and arraigned.

Q: jquery function in my javascript file doesn't get called In my ASP.NET MVC application, I have a javascript file which has a jquery function in a javascript file under the Scripts folder. The function listens to drop down click event and fills the textbox with the selected value like below, but when I click the drop down option, this method doesn't get called and the value is not set in the text box. When I run with debugger (F12), if I paste the function in the debugger command line then clicking the drop down works!!!! Not sure why the method is not registered from the javascript file. The dropdown-menu and input text box are created using bootstrap input-group. The drop down is initially empty and filled by reading from a file in setup() function.
// In test.js
var testMap = {}

$(function () {
    $("#dropdownlistId li a").click(function () {
        var name = $(this).text();
        $("#textBoxId").val(name);
    });
});

function setup() {
    // Read name and value pair in testMap
    ...
    // Append names to drop down list
    $.each(testMap, function (key, value) {
            $("#dropdownlistId").append("
  " + key + "
");
    });
}

$(document).ready(function () {
    setup();
});

In my cshtml file, I am calling the javascript file like:
@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/scripts/test.js")
}

        <input id="textBoxId" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter name" />

            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">

            </button>

A: You are running into an issue where you're trying to bind to elements that do not yet exist. The ul#dropdownlistId exists statically in the page template, but the li's and their children are populated  after the DOM Ready (via your setup function). You can change the binding to be bound to the element that always exists (ul#dropdownlistId) and only act on certain child elements (li a):
$(function () {
    $('#dropdownlistId').on('click', 'li a', function () {
        $('#textBoxId').val($(this).text());
    });
});

The news of Walmart acquiring clothing and apparel giant ModCloth has spread like wildfire. Skeptics and industry leaders have shown mixed reactions to the news, more so because ModCloth is a favorite brand among fashion enthusiasts and a young clientele. Now with Walmart at the helm of affairs, customers are not shying away from showing their reservations about the acquisition.
Walmart is huge and expanding at an unprecedented pace. The retail giant is on a buying spree lately, having bought leading e-commerce fashion companies like ShoeBuy ($70 million) and now, ModCloth.
But what made Walmart buy the emerging e-commerce fashion apparel provider is no more a mystery. The most apparent reason is ModCloth's extensive social media presence and popularity among customers. The company had devised new ways to engage customers by providing them modern clothes with a touch of vintage design. That's not all, as customers can choose from thousands of clothing and accessories, exclusive styles and extended range of products that go well with their demographics.
Technology is one aspect that ModCloth never compromised on. Moreover, the company kept churning new styles in clothing brands. The company launched a hugely popular style gallery that allows shoppers to upload photos of them wearing ModCloth merchandise. Afterwards, the company launched the Fit Me campaign, a feature that allowed customers to search for a product by reading reviews from customers owning a similar product.
Appointing Nicholas Genest as the Chief Technology Officer was, in fact, a testament to this fact. Genest was to redesign the e-commerce platform to make it more user-friendly and equipped with new technologies. With 15 years of hands on experience in designing online e-commerce solutions, he was deemed the ideal person for the job. The CTO was to stir the e-commerce platform and introduce newer methods to better interact with customers via the platform.
Apart from having a huge social media presence, ModCloth worked on some strategies to sell its products. One such strategy was to partner with sites like Clothingric.com to sell merchandise at discounted rates, coupons and promo codes. Here, customers can buy different ModCloth products at deep discounts through coupons. You can buy heels under $50 with up to 70% off while some cloth promotions will offer discounts up to 30%. Clearance stock is also available under site-wide promotion where customers can enjoy up to 15% discounts on select deals. Free shipping promotion on some products is also available.
In their quest of expanding the business, ModCloth went in search of series C category funding. However, the process never got going as the company suffered poor quarters in succession. Subsequently, the company accepted an unsecured bank debt of $20 million. Ironically, the company began treating the loan as growth equity instead of reorganizing it appropriately.
As a result, the company kept injecting new debt, thinking of it as equity. By 2015, the company had to pay the debt back, but investors kept kicking repayments for two years. By that time, the company had five profitable quarters and just got the new CEO onboard. With an ever-dwindling income statement, the company tried raising more equity, but investors refused to state overhung debt as the reason, though the situation was not as bad as it was made out to be.
Upon hearing ModCloth's debt going overdue, Jet.com, the Walmart subsidiary, stepped in with an offer of $71 million. Sources say that the actual buyout occurred for just 40 million. If true, the company may have left with nothing after paying the debt.
As the situation stands, Walmart has been buying notable online e-commerce fashion startups for a while. But, the retail giant makes clever decisions about which ones to buy. Buying ModCloth was just a matter of time, as people at Walmart knew about the value of the brand. ModCloth enjoys huge fan following and is known as a brand for the youth market, a segment that industry giants like Walmart and Amazon are carving to penetrate lately. Another reason for buying ModCloth at an estimated $75 million is that it will help the company to triumph arch rival Amazon in the e-commerce and fashion industry.
The acquisition was made through Jet.com, another e-commerce company that Walmart acquired lately. It's obvious that Walmart is itching to penetrate a bigger share of the e-commerce pie, but is the acquisition going well with ModCloth customers? Let's find out.
Why Are Customers Freaking Out?
Given Walmart's status in the market and how it is buying some innovative and modern startups, consumers are scared and infuriated for some reason. First, Walmart is seen by many as a monopolist, which is understandable as the corporation is so vast. Then, customers like to see new businesses emerging and competing with much larger counterparts. Upon hearing the news, the loyal ModCloth customers were outraged. Several customers commented and shared posts on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Not shying away from the situation, customers didn't welcome the development. Some customers claimed to have bid farewell to the brand instead of buying it from Walmart. Another customer claimed Walmart was known for not treating women employees well. Another customer shared other places to buy plus-size clothing instead of buying from Walmart. Overall, clients and fans of ModCloth had a lot to say, and most of it was not a pleasant read.
Understanding the situation, Susan Gregg, the co-founder of ModCloth, explained things in her ModCloth blog. She labeled the case as bittersweet but didn't further elaborate her thoughts on the issue.
Buying a widely popular women's brand like ModCloth is a great move by Walmart. It will align with the company's business plans and will likely cement its position as a viable fashion brand in the market. Dough McMillan, CEO of Walmart stores, claims that ModCloth enjoys a great assortment, customer engagement and pricing strategy, which is where Walmart falls short. So, combining ModCloth's fashion prowess under Jet.com is a perfect merger. All in all, joining Walmart is a win-win situation for ModCloth, Walmart, and customers alike.
So, is there any lesson from this acquisition? Perhaps it is that no business should expand on loans when the chips are down. ModCloth didn't see it coming and began expanding despite being low on finances. Having a huge fan following will not save your business if poor decision-making becomes the norm. Timely decisions are just as important. ModCloth management made bad decisions, one after another. Walmart plans to inject much-needed finances into the company without touching or altering ModCloth's customers.
It is an ideal case of things to avoid while doing business, especially this: Never invest and expand your "sales running low" business with bank loans, or your business might suffer the same fate as ModCloth.

Arranging Video Game Music for "A Very Beta Christmas" – Part 1
art credit: pakkun96.deviantart.com – This is awesome!
Hi guys! I hope you're all psyched about our upcoming concert on Saturday, December 1st! Find all the info here. Steve, our tuba player and blogger at Classical Gaming, wanted to do some awesome write-ups on the video game music you'll hear on Saturday and give you a "behind the scenes" look how we put our music together. Today, he'll talk about "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros for NES! Take it away, Steve!
Arranging Video Game Music for "A Very Beta Christmas" – Part 1 (by Steve Lakawicz)
Okay! Naturally, playing video game music with wind instruments presents many different challenges. Digital sound can do and play ANYTHING. Each time we arrange something, we have to be very careful not the exceed the limitations of our instruments (though frequently we do it anyhow and somehow it sounds awesome). Let's take a look at some of the nuts and bolts of this process.
Christmas Setup Considerations (An Introduction of sorts)
Beta Test's "base" set up is soprano sax (Mark), french horn (Ben), trombone (Doug), and tuba (me). This allows us to play 4 independent voices in most of our pieces and gives us the standard soprano/alto/tenor/bass instrumentation. When needed, we add drums (James or Rob) and voice (Brandon). We have also had many pianists perform with us in the past to add extra depth.
Our concert this weekend will be outdoors (so wear a sweater or 3!). We will be performing in our base setup + drums.
We also had to consider the fact that we're playing for a "Holiday audience". How would that work with video game music? We would have to select music that fit the atmosphere, which we hopefully did! We also decided to play some holiday favorites that are NOT from video games. Hopefully, this sheds some light as to how we structure our concert on Saturday.
Let's talk about one of the video game selections, "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros..
"Ground Theme" – Super Mario Bros – composer: Koji Kondo, arranged by Steve Lakawicz
I've been looking for an opportunity to play "Ground Theme" for some time. It is probably the most instantly recognizable piece of video game music and for a strolling/shopping general audience, it would probably be the most accessible. Here's the original work:
Some technical jargon: The original work was written for the Nintendo Entertainment System's 2A03 audio engine. The 2A03 is capable of using 2 variable pulse waves, a triangle wave, a noise channel, and a very simple 1bit audio sampler. Koji Kondo places the melody and harmony parts in the pulse waves and the bass in the triangle. He uses the noise channel to create his very basic drum parts. TL;DR- Koji Kondo creates 3 independent voices and 1 percussion part.
Our ensemble has 5 voices- 4 melodic and 1 percussive. Assigning the parts here, therefore, should be simple. I placed the main melody in the soprano sax, the triangle bass in the tuba, and wrote a simple drum part for Rob to rock out to based on the noise channel. But what about trombone and french horn?
The issue presented in this piece is the speed and style of the lines. Soprano sax, being a keyed reed instrument, can play a lot quicker and more accurate than french horn and trombone. The counter-melody in "Ground Theme" follows the melody's rhythmic line precisely and is meant to create harmony. This would mean that the french horn or trombone, whoever was doubling the soprano sax, would have to play as quick and as accurate as the soprano sax. Quite a tall order!
With no other options, I placed the secondary material across the french horn and trombone and had the tuba drop out at moments to let the trombone pick up the bass line (tuba needs a break too sometimes!).
The result is a piece that is simple but requires a lot of virtuosity from the group. If this piece sounds like it's easy to play on Saturday, then we pulled it off. Hope you're there to enjoy it! -SL
Want to hear the finished product? Be sure to check us out this Saturday, December 1st at the Christmas Village at Love Park in downtown Philadelphia at 3 PM and 5 PM. Two performances and both are free… which means it costs virtually nothing!

Florida's hurricane season lasts from June 1 through November 31. The Gulf Coast is particularly susceptible to hurricane damage, with Tampa Bay ranking as the most vulnerable metropolitan area in the country for storm surge floods. Advance planning can help you prepare for the storm, weather it well, and clean up wisely when the hurricane passes.
Make sure your home is prepared for severe storm weather well before hurricane season arrives. Secure gutters and drain spouts, reinforce the roof and install storm shutters. Keep a portable generator on hand for power outages and stock a disaster supply kit with first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and copies of critical documents in a watertight storage box.
Stay alert during hurricane season so you're prepared for impending storms. Check for text or email alert systems in your community that will give you prompt updates. Know your evacuation routes in case you have to leave home, and set up a communication plan with friends and family members so you can stay in touch in an emergency. If there's any threat of an approaching storm, stock up on essentials like canned food and clean water early. If you wait too long, you'll find store shelves bare.
Even the best-prepared home can end up under water after a hurricane or severe storm. If your home suffers water damage, make sure water remediation hits the top of your to-do list. Florida's hot, humid climate provides the perfect setting for mold growth. It's crucial that you remove the water and dry out your home as soon as possible. Contact a professional restoration service to handle the situation. Proper water remediation includes water extraction, thorough drying, mold removal, and an anti-microbial application to prevent future growth. Stay prepared for storm and hurricane season by keeping our number close at hand so you know who to call if you need emergency water remediation. Contact ServiceMaster Restore at 813-603-2001 in Hillsborough County, and 727-300-3773 in Pinellas and Pasco Counties for fast restoration services when you need them most.

Q: Cayley graph of the fundamental group of the 2-torus Does anybody knows some description or some good picture on the internet for the Cayley graph of the fundamental group of the 2-torus, when this is constructed by connected sum of two torus. I know, by van-Kampen theorem, this group is an product of two 2-free groups amalgamated by Z, but I really need to literally see that.

A: It looks like this:

A closed orientable surface of genus $2$ admits a hyperbolic metric, so corresponds to some quotient of the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}$. The action of the fundamental group on $\mathbb{H}$ can be used to draw a Cayley graph in $\mathbb{H}$. This is what this picture is depicting, in the Poincaré disk model of $\mathbb{H}$.

Home > 'I want to be world-class' - Tracey - Ambitious sprinter outlines goals
Published:Tuesday | March 5, 2019 | 12:20 AMHubert Lawrence/ Gleaner Writer [1]
When Tyquendo Tracey won the 100 metres at the National Senior Championships, the North American Central American and Caribbean Championships, and the Athletics World Cup last year, it was the fulfilment of a dream. Tracey says he always wanted to develop into a world-class sprinter. Having overcome several setbacks in the past, he sees success in his future.
Tracey first emerged when he won the Class One 100 metres for Garvey Maceo High School at the 2012 staging of Central Championships. Speaking late last month in Kingston, he says that was when his dreams began.
"Yes, I've always wanted to be a world-class athlete," he said following a 2018 season that saw him break 10 seconds in the 100 metres for the first time. "I'm really beginning to see all these dreams that I've had, all these daydreams, all these 'night dreams' if I should say, everything is basically unfolding, and I'm liking it."
"Right now, it's just to work hard and make these dreams really, really what I've exactly been looking at all my life", he explained.
Still working hard
The hard work is taking place in Jacksonville, Florida, these days, with Tracey having departed from the MVP Track Club, where he was based after leaving Garvey Maceo. His training partners include Briton Adam Gemili, Canada's 2016 Olympic silver and bronze medallist Andre DeGrasse and his fellow 2012 World Under 20 4x100m relay silver medallist, Senoj-Jay Givans of Jamaica.

"He's an awesome dude", the 25 year-old says of coach Rana Reider. "That's just one of the first words that come to my mind when I think about my new coach."
Reider coached Dafne Schippers through a transition from the heptathlon to a World Championships 200-metre title in 2015 and directs the athletic affairs of triple jumper World and Olympic champion Christian Taylor. With Reider keeping watch, Tracey hopes to improve.
"For me, it's like basically the first 40 metres, 40-50 metres. My transition has always been horrible, so that's my main focus right now", said the man who clocked 9.96 seconds last season. "Everything else, I'm working on just as hard, but the focus is on my transition."
Like most athletes, he has had bouts of injury, but he was especially unlucky at the 2015 World Championships.
A collision with a teammate struck him down as the team warmed up for the 4x100 metres preliminary round. The team won the heat and the final without him.Despite those troubles, Tracey has improved steadily since leaving Garvey Maceo with a personal best of 10.54 seconds. He ran 10.14 in 2015 and 10.12 in 2017 before twice going under 10 seconds in London on July 21, 2018. Though pleased, the ambitious Jamaican hoped for better.
"I really wanted to do a bit more, but, I mean, you can't do more than what you can do at the time, so it was good," he surmised of his 2018 season.

Pumpkin Man [Xbox, PC – Cancelled]
Pumpkin Man is a cancelled third person shooter that was in development by Metro3d and Red-Purple Game Technology, planned to be released on the original Xbox and PC. Players would take the role of a dead guy named Joshua, trying to open the gates of hell to let demons celebrate Halloween on earth.
The game was shown at E3 2003 and some websites such as Psillustrated and Gaming Nexus wrote about it:
"In Pumpkin Man, Halloween is the most important night for the forces of evil where Hell spirits are allowed to use the Crystal Seal and visit Earth for a single day. To Hell's misfortune, the path to Earth was suddenly sealed with the All Saints Crystal, and the Gates of Hell officially became the path of no return.
It's up to the Clown, a legendary leader known throughout every corner of Hell, to begin organizing a secret fight to reopen the Gates of Hell on Halloween. Meanwhile, Joshua, a small-town boy is accidentally killed and becomes a peddler in Hell. Even in his afterlife, he could not forget what a girl once said, "Joshua will definitely become a hero. I want to be his bride on that day." As Joshua ends up accused of revolting against the leadership of Hell and imprisoned in the Slave Ground, the Clown can't fight alone and Joshua is his only hope!"
"A large emphasis has been placed on the four-player support although there will be an entirely unique experience on the single-player side of things. Currently there are plans to have 40 multiplayer levels, 20 single-player levels, 25 different enemies and 13 different weapons."
Unfortunately Metro3d filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and Pumpkin Man was canned and forgotten by everyone, until July 2021 when u/2dmee shared on Reddit a playable demo they found in a Taiwanese online forum (uploaded on Archive):
"A couple of years ago I started buying new & sealed retro games from China/Taiwan and reselling them on Ebay UK. One day I came across a big box PC game and the artwork looked really good and it caught my attention, but I couldn't find any info about the game anywhere, despite being quite well versed in the art of advanced google search syntax.
"The seller that offered the game for sale also had some other titles that were produced by Red-Purple Game Technology so I can only presume he had the deadstock from their offices after they ceased development/trading in 2004. He had 1 boxed, sealed copy and 1 open copy in a jewel case so I bought them both."
"I have the complete game files on 3 discs, but I don't have them ripped to my PC atm so I thought I would upload the demo first."
Thanks to Aaron for the contribution!

A new organisation to promote digital inclusion was announced today. The Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa (DIAA) aims to help expand digital inclusion initiatives throughout New Zealand, so that everyone has a chance to participate in the digital world.
Zwimpfer is the National Operations & Development Manager of the 20/20 Trust, an organisation that has pioneered this approach by working with local community trusts, education providers, such as REAPs (Rural Education Activities Programmes), and public libraries. Given the Government's commitment to digital inclusion, it makes sense to have a fully joined up approach in growing the digital capability of all our communities.
Annette Beattie is also a member of the establishment board. Annette has played a leading role both as a library manager and as chair of the PLNZ digital working group. Libraries are just one example, the Alliance sees many organisations delivering support services in local communities having a role to play. "As DIAA evolves we see the governance group being elected by Partners of the Alliance." Zwimpfer said.

In connection with a visit of the Venezuelan Bishops to the U.S., the Most Reverend Ulices Gutierrez Reyes, Archbishop of Bolivar, the Most Reverend Roberto Lückert León, Archbishop-emeritus of Coro, and the Most Reverend José Trinidad Fernandez Angulo, General Secretary of the Venezuelan Bishops' Conference, will concelebrate the Chrism Mass in addition to Auxiliary Bishops Richard B. Higgins, F. Richard Spencer, Neal J. Buckon, William J. Muhm, and Joseph L. Coffey . Also concelebrating will be Monsignor John J.M. Foster, J.C.D., Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia; Father Robert Cannon, Chancellor; Father Christopher Armstrong, Judicial Vicar; Father Aidan Logan, O.C.S.O., Vocations Director; and Catholic U.S. Military chaplains, active and retired, and other priests in service to the Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS), USA. During the Mass, the priests will renew their priestly commitments. Co-Sponsored seminariansand prospective military chaplains in formation to become priests will serve at the Mass.
The Chrism Mass is open to the public. The Basilica is air-conditioned and disabled accessible.

Shannen Doherty Settles Cancer Insurance Lawsuit with Ex-Manager
Angel Libby August 23, 2016 8:06 pm January 1, 2017 0 932
People magazine reported that famous actress Shannen Doherty has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed against her former business manager. The famous actress sued Tanner, Mainstain Glynn & Johnson in the Los Angeles Superior Court in 2015.
Well, the amount of the settlement was not disclosed for now, but the settlement indicated that the case is conditional and contingent on "the satisfactory completion of specified terms that are to be performed within 45 days of the date of settlement."
Shannen's lawsuit against her former business managers accused them of leaving her without medical insurance and even stalling her breast cancer diagnosis. The actress claimed in her lawsuit that her cancer "potentially could have been stopped" if she had insurance and was able to see her doctor back in 2014.
According to her lawsuit, the management company was responsible for breach of contract and negligence, as it failed to pay a 2013 bill for her Screen Actors Guild medical insurance. Consequently, the actress lost her medical insurance for all 2014, time during which Shannen was unable to see a doctor. When her insurance was reinstated, the actress scheduled a doctor's appointment and discovered that she was suffering from "invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node."
Shannen has been under treatment since. The actress confessed in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight that she underwent a single mastectomy in May and she also started undergoing chemotherapy. In her lawsuit, Shannen also claimed that because of her disease she suffered "severe emotional distress," but she also lost work.
"The dispute between the parties was resolved to their satisfaction pursuant to a confidential settlement," the actress's former management company said. Due to the settlement, the case will be closed now. The lawsuit was supposed to go to trial on October 5. The business management company previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to the case.
"The claim that Tanner Mainstain caused her to be uninsured, prevented her from seeking medical care, or somehow contributed to her cancer is patently false. Tanner Mainstain will aggressively defend all of Ms. Doherty's claims in court," a previous statement from the company's lawyer said.

Gordon McMann (CPAGB), past president and current member of Queens Park Camera Club, Glasgow, was the judge for Alba's second digital competition of the season.
Gordon who has been judging for the past 12-14 years offered advice on composition and post production of the competition entries. Keeping an eye on your background to avoid any potential distractions from the main focal point was an important observation he made on composition as well as avoiding bright portions of photographs which draw the eyes of the viewer away from the main intended focal point being another point on post production. Either cloning out bright spots or darkening them down were fixes which Gordon suggested could be done in post production but he also pointed out the danger of cloning natural subjects, eg. foliage, which when done badly, can produce an unnatural effect to the viewer's eye.
Alba would very much like to thank Gordon for his time and effort and particularly for making the journey on a pretty miserable night of bad weather.

Q: Table cut off on mobile device? I have a table (below code) on a web page, and for some reason when I navigate to this page on a mobile device, the right hand side of the table seems to be cut off? How can I fix this?

<meta name="viewport" content="width=1000">

          <?php print render($page['content']); ?>

                  <?php print render($page['highlighted']); ?>

A: this is because it is difficult to work with tables on mobile devices, and should be avoided if possible.
You could look at setting the width of the table at 100% and having the overflow set to scroll. This is how bootstrap make their tables responsive

A: You can always use media queries.
Unfortunately they don't work for inline css, so you'll need to give the table a class and have a css file.
With media queries you can set specific css rules for different sizes.
So this

@media screen and (max-width: 800px) {
  .tableclass {
  width: ;
  }
  }

Will set it up so if the screen size is less than 800 pixels the table will use that different width.
Always make sure the media queries are at the bottom of the css file. You can set multiple ones at once.

He tells us too, how Aidan, wishing, it may be supposed, for greater solitude, went away and lived on the rocky isle of Farne, some two miles out at sea, off Bamborough Castle; and how, when he saw Penda and his Mercians, in a second invasion of Northumbria, trying to burn down the walls of Bamborough which were probably mere stockades of timber he cried to God, from off his rock, to "behold the mischief:" whereon the wind changed suddenly, and blew the flames back on the besiegers, discomfiting them, and saving the town.
Charles Kingsley - The Hermits
"As speaks my brother of Canterbury, speak I," said William, Bishop of London, another Norman. But then there rose up a form at whose rising all murmurs were hushed. Grey and vast, as some image of a gone and mightier age towered over all, Siward, the son of Beorn, the great Earl of Northumbria. "We have naught to do with the Normans.
Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton - Harold : the Last of the Saxon Kings — Volume 03
He thought then of his own prayer: "Let there be peace between thine and mine!" and looking at their fair and stately youth, and noble carriage, he could not but feel that the men of Northumbria and of Mercia had chosen well. The discourse, however, was naturally brief, since thus made general; the visit soon ceased, and the brothers attended Harold to the door with the courtesy of the times.
Oswin, conspicuous on its bold headland, could not hope to escape their ravages. It was destroyed by the fierce invaders; but King Ecgfrith of Northumbria restored the shattered shrine. Again, in the year 865, it was sacked and burnt, and the poor nuns of St. Hilda, who had already fled from Hartlepool to Tynemouth hoping to find safety, were ruthlessly slain and earned the crown of martyrdom.
Jean F. (Jean Finlay) Terry - Northumberland Yesterday and To-day
There were the Welsh, who were always turbulent; the Danes of Northumbria, who were still a distinct people, although throughout the rest of England their identity was fast being merged into that of the Saxons. There were the Norsemen, still ready to take every opportunity of interfering in the affairs of England, or, if none offered, to plunder and harry the coast.
G. A. (George Alfred) Henty - Wulf the Saxon : A Story of the Norman Conquest
In the end it was agreed that this should be so, and that, in the event of their success, they were to divide the kingdom of England between them Sweyn taking the Northern half, including Northumbria and the upper part of Mercia, and Olaf the Southern half, including East Anglia and the whole of Wessex.
Robert Leighton - Olaf the Glorious : A Story of the Viking Age
To this island came King Ecgfrith of Northumbria with Archbishop Trumwine and other representatives of the Synod to beg the hermit to accept the Bishopric of Hexham; and it was on this island that St. Cuthbert died, the monks who had gone to look after him signalling the news of his death to his brethren at Lindisfarne by means of torches.
The greater the sphere of a subject's jurisdiction, the more it menaced the monarchy and national unity; and after Canute's empire had fallen to pieces under his worthless sons, the restoration of Ecgberht's line in the person of Edward the Confessor merely provided a figurehead under whose nominal rule the great earls of Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, and East Anglia fought at first for control of the monarchy and at length for the crown itself.
A. F. (Albert Frederick) Pollard - The History of England - a Study in Political Evolution
Aldyth, the sister of Edwin and Morcar, is Lady of England; and that union shuts thee out from Northumbria for ever." At these words, as if stricken by some deadly and inexpressible insult, the Earl recoiled, and stood a moment mute with rage and amaze. His singular beauty became distorted into the lineaments of a fiend. He stamped with his foot, as he thundered a terrible curse.
Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton - Harold : the Last of the Saxon Kings — Complete
Not far away, Edwin, the Saxon King of Northumbria, was slain in battle fighting against Penda, King of Mercia, and Cadwallader, King of Wales; and in all probability his body was buried at the village of Edwinstowe. The earliest definite notice of Sherwood dates from the days of Henry the Second, when William Peverel had control and profit of the district under the Crown.

CrossPolitic Network presents Law and Profits by Marcus Pittman. On his first episode of Law and Profits, Marcus looks at a video from Pastor Todd Wagner of Watermark Church as he tells his congregation how unjust it is for employers to make so much more money than their employees. But what does the Bible say about this?

Q: Nesting lambda expression with passing parameter by reference in c++ I am trying to use lambda expressions in C++. A example of lambda expression is demonstrated below. The input parameter of function f1 is a std::unique_ptr and the output parameter is also a std::unique_ptr.
    auto f1 = [](std::unique_ptr<float[]> &input_data, int size)->std::unique_ptr<float[]>
    {
        auto return_data = std::make_unique<float[]>(size);
        for (int loop_number = 0; loop_number < size; loop_number++)
        {
            return_data[loop_number] = input_data[loop_number] + 1;                  //  for example
        }
        return return_data;
    };

The non-nesting usage of function f1 is shown as below. It runs successfully.
    int size_for_testing = 100;
    auto test_object = std::make_unique<float[]>(size_for_testing);
    auto result = f1(test_object, size_for_testing);
    for (int loop_number = 0; loop_number < size_for_testing; loop_number++)
    {
        std::cout << result[loop_number] << std::endl;
    }

When it comes to the nesting case as shown as below, there is an error appeared.
auto result = f1(f1(test_object, size_for_testing), size_for_testing);

The compiler shows C2664 error with 'std::unique_ptr<float [],std::default_delete<float []>> main::<lambda_1>::operator ()(std::unique_ptr<float [],std::default_delete<float []>> &,int) const': cannot convert argument 1 from 'std::unique_ptr<float [],std::default_delete<float []>>' to 'std::unique_ptr<float [],std::default_delete<float []>> &' error message.
The result above should be as same as below.
    auto result1 = f1(test_object, size_for_testing);
    auto result = f1(result1, size_for_testing);

I am wondering that 1) Is it inappropriate to write lambda expression with passing parameters by reference? 2) Why the non-nesting usage of function f1 is fine but the error C2664 appears in the nesting usage?
OS: Windows 10 1909
IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.4.5

A: The code attempts to bind an lvalue reference (1st arg of the outer f1) to a prvalue (return value of the inner f1), this is not allowed.
You could fix it by passing by const reference, std::unique_ptr<float[]> const &input_data .
I would consider having the parameter be float const * since the function's operation does not depend on how memory management worked for the input array. In fact std::span would be appropriate here too.


In 2008 and 2010 I completed two very high end programs in Malibu and West Los Angeles; however I was unable to stay sober. At Wildwood, I was nurtured by a loving and supportive staff and integrated into the recovering community. By the time I discharged, I had a support network to help me stay sober. I continue to have the staff's encouragement at every turn. Wildwood's high end residential setting felt like being the middle of a loving, nurturing home, just like the one I had created in my own home, and one that I, thankfully, have again. I remain sober today, and this is directly due to my experience, at Wildwood Recovery and the education, love and support they provided.
My experience at Wildwood was the best treatment I have received for my addiction. It was a quiet relaxing environment, which provided activities like yoga and meditation, which allowed me to find myself again. The staff were all experienced with addiction, which made me feel comforted. The one on one attention you receive from the doctor and counselors cannot compare to any facility in the area. I live now with what I would say are the most effective tools to stay sober. My life has changed and it's due to the care provided from Wildwood!
I was in a bad place with my alcoholism. I needed help but was afraid to ask. I was recommended to Dr. Walter Thomas. His acceptance gave me the hope I was looking for. I am very grateful to him for his encouragement to become a client at Wildwood. I was in Wildwood in November/December 2011. I had never been in a 30 day in-house recovery program. I was afraid and did not know what to expect. I owe my life to Wildwood and the staff members that were there for me 24 hours a day. I am especially grateful to the head counselor who offered me so much compassion. I learned that if I was not willing to surrender and to be completely honest I would not stay sober. I received all the direction and tools I would need to maintain my sobriety. I am 6 months sober as of May 7th and I am truly grateful to everyone at Wildwood. If you are in a bad place, please reach out to Wildwood for help.
"I would recommend Wildwood Recovery to anyone struggling with chemical dependency. The staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and most of all caring. The accommodations allow for a comfortable and quiet learning environment. I will forever be in debt to Wildwood Recovery for the gift of sobriety."
I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Walter Thomas and the incredible staff at Wildwood Recovery. During my stay as a client, I was extended the utmost respect and professionalism from their qualified doctors, treatment counselors and technicians. Beautiful grounds and a comforting, warm environment provided the safety, security and serenity that I had so desperately needed. Each day is planned on-the-hour with group therapy, individual counseling, doctor assessments, meditation & yoga, family time, equine recreation, art expression, and enjoyable activities such as hiking to waterfalls and movie nights. Delicious, gourmet food is prepared daily and the dining experience in a group-setting promotes casual, leisure time to connect with other clients in a "family" atmosphere. Personal evaluations and both psychological and emotional inventory are assessed daily in an effort to uncover and disclose the underlying causes of addiction and alcoholism, thus eliminating the symptoms. A qualified, caring, and dedicated staff are at your disposal 24-hours a day, providing the optimal care and assistance which you would expect to find only at the most refined recovery homes available. I have remained thus far, 90-days sober, and I owe my success to what I have gained from my experience at Wildwood Recovery.
The 30 days I spent at Wildwood was one of the most incredible, transformational experiences of my life. The recovery program was customized by Dr. Thomas and the other professionals on staff to address my individual needs. The staff is warm, caring and knowledgeable. The facility is modern, tranquil and beautiful. I was able to learn about my disease of addiction as well as understand how to be free from its deadly grasp. My time at Wildwood helped me to build a strong foundation for my continued sobriety. I will be forever greatful to Dr. Thomas and the staff at Wildwood for saving my life and showing me how to enjoy living a sober life.
During my stay at Wildwood Recovery I learned many new tools on how to stay sober. The holistic approach that was used gave me the opportunity to experience how valuable I am as a human being, and helped me integrate back into the community. The staff support helped me believe in myself and my abilities to cope with life sober. Dr Thomas and the staff's professionalism and compassion are a major component in my recovery. Wildwood is called "the house" because it's a family oriented and loving home. If you are serious and need to surrender to any addiction Wildwood is the place to be. Today by the grace of God, Wildwood Recovery and A.A I celebrate 90 days of sobriety.


In a dust-blown desert airport, a spaceplane is being fuelled for an unscheduled launch. It's usual pilot shows up just in time to discover that the plane will be flown remotely by a tele-operator, and she's not needed. As it takes off, the remote remote-pilot experiences the plane's surroundings as if with their own senses.
