In Clutter Busting: Letting Go of What's Holding You Back, I learned that clutter collection can be an addictive habit. Many of us are aware of the sentimental value of belongings. Photographs remind us of past lovers or deceased relatives. Gifts from former acquaintances remain "treasured" items, even after harsh falling outs. On first assessment, most of us assume these possessions deserve preserving.
Brooks Palmer shows how many of these items, to which we believe we ascribe sentimental value, can actually harm us by holding negative memories in our lives. The relationships ended badly or the relatives were abusive. Palmer thinks hanging on to relics of such people prevent us from experiencing love in our lives now or letting go of the negative message our Uncle Esther sent us about ourselves, etc.
I still believe that certain objects deserve to be preserved because of positive memories associated with them. However, I see Palmer's point that many objects we hold on to are physical and psychological "clutter." From Palmer's perspective, materials that clog up one's home, have never left sealed boxes between moves, and cause spiritual and emotional blocks from leading a happy life are clutter. Palmer uses a process he calls "clutter busting" to rid a home of unwanted excess and thereby feelings of inadequacy, self-hatred, bitterness, etc. etc. Reading about how clutter has worsened many of his clients' lives has given me a different perspective on clutter. I am now more ready to believe that many of the objects we believe have sentimental value actually have detrimental value and should be expunged.

Judge won't drop charges against ex-cop who shot naked man
October 4, 2016 GMT
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A judge has declined a request to drop the charges against a white former Atlanta-area police officer who shot an unarmed, naked, mentally ill black veteran.
Former DeKalb County police officer Robert Olsen's attorney, Don Samuel, argued at a hearing last month that the principle of grand jury secrecy was violated and that the charges should be dropped. Samuel said extra people were in the room, including extra prosecutors, and that could have kept grand jurors from feeling comfortable asking questions.
In an order signed Wednesday, DeKalb County Superior Court Judge J.P. Boulee said there aren't grounds under Georgia law to dismiss the indictment.
Olsen shot Anthony Hill on March 9, 2015, while responding to a call about a naked man behaving erratically outside a suburban Atlanta apartment complex.

Q: Using external SQLite database with SwiftUI I am writing a SwiftUI app that needs to read an external SQLite database. I just need to open the database, query the database, copy values into an array and close the database. Then I need to load the text from one variable in the array to the buttons in a view. I am using the SQLite.swift library but I'm not sure how to do it.
I don't have any code yet but I have loaded the SQLite.swift package and just need to write my DatabaseHelper class and then run it when the View is opened. If anyone can help please reply! :)

A: Bear in mind that I haven't actually done this, but will have to in the near future. You are going to have to accept the fact that you need to take baby steps and throw out half your work, perhaps multiple times, until you get a satisfactory solution.
I would start by opening your db outside swiftui, probably in the app delegate class. Then stick all your values into the environment object and attach that to your content view
let contentView = ContentView().environmentObject(your_stuff_here)

Down in Swiftui you can extract the details from the environment object and add them to your button.
That should at least get you going.

The Surge is Coming: The Herd Responds
Anya Jayanthi, Science and Technology Editor
On Thursday, March 12, at around 10:50 a.m., students were heard shouting in the hallway, "Early dismissal!" Soon the news was confirmed; we would be sent home because of concerns about a new viral illness spreading through the community called COVID-19.
What followed was an extraordinary series of events: schools closed, worship services cancelled, and businesses shuttered, causing them to experience financial strain. Studies even show that quarantine can increase the risk of domestic violence and mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
Key questions remain on everyone's minds. What is the scientific logic that supports entire communities coming to an abrupt halt? What are medical professionals doing? What can we do? What does the future hold, and how much longer will this quarantine last? One thing is clear: the country is preparing for something that we have not seen in our lifetimes.
"The surge is coming, based on what we've seen in other places (Italy, New York, Seattle, China)," says Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, M.D. M.P.H. She is referring to a spike in the incidence of new cases (the measured number of people infected with COVID-19). Without intervention, a large "surge" has the potential to exceed the capacity of the healthcare system, including beds, workers and equipment.
Here in Lower Merion and the Greater Philadelphia Area, as 77 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed and more unconfirmed cases are likely, fears of an uncontrolled surge continue to rise. The goal then, is two-fold: to expand capacity and to limit demand.
First, healthcare systems are focusing on expanding capacity. In anticipation of the surge, which is expected in the coming days, hospitals have cancelled nonessential surgeries and procedures, so beds and personnel are available.
This measure also preserves personal protective equipment (PPE) (masks, gloves, gowns, face shields and cleaning supplies), because the nation faces a dire shortage of PPE due to the lack of a national stockpile, individuals hoarding the limited supply of PPE that can be purchased and others buying up and then reselling limited PPE at high prices.
Without access to PPE, healthcare workers can become sick and quarantined, which further limits the numbers of available workers. Furthermore, because some people are infectious before they experience any symptoms, and we are experiencing a lack of readily available testing, healthcare workers could spread the disease to patients or peers.
This can have fatal consequences, Dr. Gurubhagavatula explains, because an inadequate medical workforce means that patients may not receive needed healthcare. Hoarding masks and other PPE can cost lives.
Second, healthcare providers themselves are practicing social distancing to limit the number of new cases, and hence demand for services. Many have switched to telemedicine, some are even FaceTiming patients! Doctors trained in intensive care who can operate ventilators are needed.
Italian hospitals are even retraining doctors from other specialties to work in ICUs and ERs. In Montgomery County and other locations, doctors are being redirected to work in COVID-19 testing centers under tents that have been set up in parking lots.
Outside of healthcare, some companies are looking at repurposing their assembly lines to create medical supplies (Ford, for instance, promised to begin producing ventilators), similar to war times when manufacturers made supplies for the military.
These measures may not be sufficient, and a large surge would be devastating. Healthcare workers in Italy and New York are facing profound ethical dilemmas as they are forced to consider drastic measures including rationing of ventilators and withholding life support in severely ill patients.
COVID-19 can lead to chronic complications, such as loss of lung function, and can be fatal in elderly people, infants, immunodeficient people (such as cancer and heart disease patients) and children of all ages. COVID-19 reports children in China show that "the proportion of severe and critical cases was 10.6 % for children younger than 1 year, 7.3% for those 1 to 5, 4.2% for those 6 to 10, 4.1% for those 11 to 15, and 3.0% for those 16 to 18."
These percentages could increase if children who are unreported (not tested but may have the disease) are counted. However, while these percentages may be small, the absolute number of children experiencing severe and critical cases is unacceptably high. Treatable complications may not be addressed if the surge overwhelms hospital resources, causing needless illnesses and deaths.
So how can we prevent this? The idea is we "take turns" using healthcare resources, rather than overloading the system all at once.
On an epidemic curve, the incidence of disease is measured over time. The term "flatten the curve" comes from this concept—if the number of new cases rises slower and stays the same (flat) over a longer period of time rather than overloading the healthcare system with a sudden, abrupt surge, we can save lives, because healthcare resources will be available for each in turn.
Moreover, delaying contracting the illness gives researchers time to develop vaccines and medical therapies, and manufacturers to make PPE.
Flattening the curve is not as hard as it sounds. When a new infection like COVID-19 enters a community, how fast the curve grows depends on a number of factors: its mode of transmission, how viable it is to infect others outside the body and for how long, its R0 value (discussed below), whether people are infectious before they become symptomatic (displaying symptoms), and human behaviors.
The mode of transmission is how the virus is spread. COVID-19's mode of transmission is predominantly droplet (meaning through sneezing and coughing), fecal-oral and sometimes airborne (through aerosols). Studies have found that COVID-19 is viable for hours or even days on cardboard, metal, and plastic, and in aerosols. The R0 value is a measure of the number of people that a single person usually infects. COVID-19 has an R0 of 2-3.
If each infected person infected 2-3 others, then the incidence of new cases would grow exponentially. By contrast, influenza has an R0 of 1-2, and measles an R0 of 15.
One reason that COVID-19 spreads so quickly is because some people are infectious before they become symptomatic. Children are especially known for being asymptomatic carriers (those who can spread the disease but do not display symptoms).
However, children can also develop immunity and eventually contribute to herd immunity, where those who are vulnerable to fatal consequences are protected from contracting diseases because those around them are now immune. How long such immunity lasts is under investigation.
At the end of the day, one key question that persists has to do with what the future holds and how much longer social distancing must remain. Human behavior is a fundamental determinant regarding the future of this pandemic in our community.
Some cities, due to inadequate compliance with social distancing, saw continued rises, necessitating statewide shutdowns and shelter-in-place orders (which have been implemented in the Greater Philadelphia Area). In order to end the quarantine as soon as possible, flatten the curve, and bring the R0 value to zero, scientists advise the following: wash your hands, avoid touching your face, and practice social distancing with 100 percent integrity.
Stay AT LEAST six feet away from others. Avoid large or even small gatherings (even people you think do not have the virus could be asymptomatic carriers). The stricter we are with social distancing, the more likely we are to bring an end to this epidemic, and thus, this quarantine.
This principle was clearly illustrated in a Washington Post article: Why outbreaks like coronavirus spread exponentially and how to "flatten the curve." An interactive simulation shows the dramatic impact of adhering to strict isolation. Each simulation is accompanied by a SIR graph of the number of susceptible (healthy), infected and recovered people in a community, displaying the overall magnitude of the surge (the red hill) as a function of the degree of social distancing.
The simulation powerfully shows that with more and more effective social distancing, the peak of the curve, rather than being a large spike, flattens progressively to a small plateau. Eventually, scientists predict that 40-70% of the world will become infected. Yet all the simulations show that eventually, the disease disappears, as more and more individuals become immune, protecting other vulnerable individuals because of "herd immunity."
So distance yourself! And don't hoard PPE. By staying home on your couch, you could be saving someone's life.

Welcome to the Little Pink House! We are so excited to tell you about Eugene Oregon and all of it's surrounding attractions.
The Little Pink House is just blocks away from the University of Oregon, Matthew Knight Arena ,and the soon to be "new" Historic Hayward Field. It is also a short walk to and from Autzen Stadium and our beautiful bike paths along the Willamette River. The EMX bus can be caught three blocks from the house and it will take you to the heart of down town for the Farmer's Market, Saturday Market, Voodo Donuts (don't miss those) or just to experience Eugene.
We are located in the heart of the historic Fairmount Neighborhood which offers many bakeries, restaurants, organic markets and the famed Prince Puckler's Ice Cream Parlor. The Little Pink House was built on the foundation of the coach house which belonged to one of the first estates built in Eugene. In 2006 the small dwelling burnt to the ground in three minutes and from there we designed and built the Little Pink House which became the fifth vacation rental property in Eugene in 2007! The House is tucked away on a private alley, in a wonderful wooded neighborhood only blocks from the University. The Pink House is furnished with nice beds linens and towels. The kitchen is fully furnished with pots, pans, dishes, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, coffee and tea. The house has a gas barbecue, surround sound, cable television, sky lights, wireless internet and comfortable furniture. We have literature in the house regarding Eugene and it's many attractions, as well as the Willamette Valley. We are close to fishing, hiking, boating, biking, wine tasting...you name it! We have coolers, fishing and fishing equipment etc. Please let us know what you may need for your Eugene adventure! We know you will enjoy our 'hide away'! We have hosted many parents of U of O students over the past eleven years- GO DUCKS!
We have stayed in VRBO properties, in Greece, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Panama, the United States, Germany and Mexico and had absolutely wonderful experiences in every property. We want to provide that for our guests as well. We have recently used The Little Pink House as a long time rental for visitors to the University of Oregon as we are only blocks from campus.
The Little Pink House was brand new in 2008. Given it's location to the University of Oregon, we decided to list the home on VRBO. Having traveled the world and staying in VRBO properties ourself, we thought it would be a wonderful way to preserve the house, and meet wonderful people. When we listed the Little Pink House it was one of five VRBO properties in Eugene! We are now nearly word of mouth having visitors return time and time again. We love the fact that so many have loved staying at our Little Pink House.
The Little Pink house is blocks away from the Matthew Knight arena, Hayward Field and even Autzen Stadium. It is set off of the street, yet only steps from Historic Fairmount Blvd. Around the corner Hendrick's park with acres of old growth forest, running and hiking trails. Pre's rock is found only blocks from the house. Fairmount Park down the street is perfect for the kiddos and boasts a water feature for summer fun. Our famous bike trails are only blocks from the house as well as the Willamette River. Spencer's Butte and Mt. Pisgah are also only a short drive away.
Catch the EMX just blocks away for a short trip into the center of Eugene.
Newly installed ductless heat pump. We now have air conditioning as well!
Ductless energy efficient heat and cooling!
Large kitchen fully equipped. If we don't have it....we will get it for you!
Brand new high definition 42 inch flat screen television.
Some books in the house.
In the summer and spring you are close enough to hear the U of O marching band practice. We can hear all U of O events.
Came to Eugene for a few days to visit the University of Oregon with my daughters. We absolutely loved the place. Very clear and had everything we needed. Very close to the U of O and downtown area. Would definitely come back and recommend to families.
This little house is perfectly situated blocks from campus, clean and well appointed. This is our second stay and will most likely book again!
We had a wonderful stay at this Eugene cottage. It was well stocked with very good beds. Everything was comfortable. We were troubled with a bright light shining into our bedroom blinds at night time which affected our sleep but that seems it would be easy to correct with curtains. The host was very accommodating to our arrival time. We appreciated how nice a place this was.
Really well kept and modern small home. All the trimmings. Would be well suited to a family with small children. The bathroom's location is a bit odd but doesn't take from the overall experience. Would rent again easily. Thanks.
The LPH was originally the carriage house for a larger home. Somewhere along the line it was converted to a tiny house. In 2007 the now converted house burned to the ground (in less than three minutes). We had already had plans at that point to someday build a new home on the property. We loved the historical neighborhood but neither property was "remodelable" due to age and lack of foundation. The fire was what set our plans in motion. Per land use code we could only rebuild in the original footprint of the home. Given that we desired a second story this became a challenge. It is very odd build-but quite clever really as my husband designed maximum space and light on an angular foot print!
Thank you for your review. I agree it can be odd to have a bathroom away from the bedrooms. I have heard it's kind of nice as well sometimes.
We always love staying at the Little Pink House. Lara is a wonderful host and always checks in with us. The house is clean and well stocked (even with umbrellas for our outdoor sporting events.) It's also walk-able to the University, the market, and a beautiful park. Just perfect!
Comfortable, quiet location near UO.
The little pink house is on a quiet street near UO and a great place for our stay visiting our university student. We had a comfortable living space and kitchen to enjoy. Note the bedrooms are small (not a place to "hangout in") and the only bathroom is downstairs from the rooms which made night time a little more difficult for my elderly parents. That said we found it very convenient and had everything we needed and appreciated the extra touches like the orchid on the kitchen table and plenty of towels for all four of us.
Blocks away from our famous riverside bike paths. Hendrick's park is just behind the property which features old growth forest. Pre's trail, Hayward Field, the Matthew Knight Arena and the University of Oregon are all a very short walk.
The Little Pink House has never been more than $100 per night. We don't believe in doubling or tripling our rates for "special events" such as Duck Football games. We provide a beautiful home steps from the University of Oregon at the same rate we started with in 2008. We host many parents of U of O students and pride ourselves on giving our guests an affordable experience in Eugene.

Some experiences connected with Wien Hbf (Hauptbahnhof) and my boyhood years, where my mother and a character named Manfred Brucker played a significant part. You may wonder how the famous coffee came to the scene. That is the whole intent of the story. The time corresponds to my primary junkets through Europe and the memory of these trips lingers. I was a boy of thirteen and was studying in the ninth standard in the B.E. school that was close to an interjunction of five roads near a C.S.I. church and many students of our class stayed in the hostel near the church. I got a star for a large number of works those works of art that everyone appreciated. He kept in touch with me a little further and was enduring a sickness of the spirit at that point and Dr Hough warned that was perhaps admissible but declined to pass an indisputable verdict and the multitudinous things got away from his notice. In the advanced years, his child was a transformation of the refined man and had my first Verlängerter coffee—which was a great start of my later career in the beverage business. In the last stage, he was incapacitated. His remains were put on the shores after going to M—beach where such things took place according to the custom of his local area. This is absolutely about another person. Her friend another medical lady was a sage-like presence even though another chatterbox in the hospital misinterpreted her moves. I further recall that I had once a film whether the child of this lady and recollect that he was very entertaining and telling the wisecracks which was another experience for me. He knew all the assortment of jokes and some were very good ones. Never talk to strangers, I remembered my mother words. They cannot be trusted. But my father gave me a piece of different advice- ''vous devez parler à des inconnus. alors seulement tu grandiras dans la vie'' [you have to talk to strangers. Only then will you grow up in life] He said more than once –You must plunge into the strange if you want to grow, or you will be destined to be a poorer version of yourself. See the difference of man among other species and mark what slants separate her and tug on it, but always be kind. You are a fool if you over judge- Be kind-And my mother's move to Vienna among patients and the wounded in the War. I visited Wachau with Manfred Brucker who was almost the same age as me but he was stronger and taller than me. The spot was between Melk and Krems radiant with apricots and vineyards with a perceptual realm of enormous slopes and girdled by hefty fortifications. We meandered in the grape plantations, plant porches, the winegrowers' farmsteads, which are elliptical comprising two equal structures, dating back to the late Middle Ages.
Manfred was the son of my mother's co-worker Brigitta and his dad worked in Budapest. As his name sounded, he joined two things, harmony and scaffolds. Every weekend he made his journey to Budapest with his mom to see his dad. In the meantime, Manfred had a brief conference with the vineyard manager, a corpulent aged gentleman who served in the World War in important positions. He narrated stories in the short time frame we got sitting in a café. My first view of the River Danube befalls in this season. The entirety of Upper Austria matched a little flash of heaven. Except for my mom's transit to that spot, I couldn't ever have seen it. Something equally relevant is how we went to a theatre in Vienna to see Summer of '42. His mom was a medical caretaker and he welcomed me to their home, however, I proved unable. Just a lot further down the road could I realise his greeting, however in the meantime his mom died and I could only see his aged papa who sustained severe cognitive decline, because of an infection in the cerebrum. Earlier he had composed songs and was a fairly well-known writer, yet when in his later life on the off chance that someone presented his poems he would ask, who composed this and in case that person told his name, he would ask, who that gentleman is.
–(Excerpt from a Fictional Work]
Give me some space and a pickaxe. I will give you a nursery. He talked that way. Since I didn't have soil and pickaxes, it wasn't destined to be repassed . We were on our lengthy drive through the Austrian landscape . I have crossed to these zones in every one of the conditions, with a poke of Euros and without propelling fagging about the following dinner. This was before my wedding whenever I had that uncommon chance to trail with a fine woman and traveller. Furthermore, that story I will describe elsewhere , yet this story isn't that. It is the story of my most prominent experience as a vocalist with some of the craziest colleagues I had met .
For convenience I will present my old buddy as Renéltte Ognjen
though the last piece of his terminology escapes my tongue, having been raised in a totally different land and culture. Maybe I need to rehearse hours to pronounce his name property, that being said the highlight and inflection will not be correct. That is certifiably not a major issue. My distant uncle could for the duration of his life probative his significant other from Scotland yet they had a decent hitched life and memory, both are no more. This uncle used a contracted structure at last to both the accomplice's appreciation. Be that as it may, my overall perspective on things, subsequent to seeing numerous relationships of my mates and family members and nephews and nieces and even myself, is that we assert on the unimportant things in wedded life and less careful of major strands. Look, I am digressing from the essential content, excuse me…We strolled along through the expansiveness and length of the town…..The climate was charming when I arrived at Innsbruck. April's average temperature of 9°C sprawls exactly in between the annual low of -1°C in January and the annual high of 19° in July. The weather became warmer day after day. I came once again in the presence of the river that touched St. Moritz,Scuol, Landeck, Innsbruck,Wörgl, Kufstein, Rosenheim, Schärding, Passau etc. Yesterday's was foggy but today things are brighter. The time frame before harvest is turbid to be the dreariest season. We were initially three travellers. We had come that day from Graz. The third person SW- – wearing cowboy jeans and smoked the Cuban stogie which he bought from another station . SW- grinned regularly in a flirtatious tone which his darling showed. The lady smiled playful,. the fragile earthy coloured gown was waving in the hurricane. The woman's portrayal. She wore silver rings on toes and fingers. 'You don't discover numerous scenes that are amusing here' SW- – told. The Italian minister removed his cassock and kept it on the wooden scaffold at the corner. 'What an awkward season when I came' . SW – muttered, for he came two months ago and it was cold and he recollected some of the frozen ice in his eyes and his torso shrank in chill.- – told the influenced toe that solitary SW- – could go. Man are you into additional sleeps.
The mountaineer had quite recently shown up from his trip from the upper Alps. He left his two voyaging colleagues in Salzburg and the individuals will go to their farm in the hinterlands. He was engaged in Heraclitus among these . Also, the difference was a Jungian attempting to copy the style of the clinician pulling out into his TOWER yet he was not intrigued. He looked outside the coal shoveler's saw the group's body as shadows. The station was dull and it was the last train and they missed the last train from—run and they all left. They needed to wait for a few hours and it was too difficult to even think about getting a train and it was difficult to tarry.
I had my entrance, Ms.Callet recited in melody. When she spoke the room reverberated and she probably knew. She had that attitude, experiment, change as you progressed and was totally oblivious of others' opinions. She was an actor. She voiced word after word in clarity as if she were rehearsing a future role. When she spoke, few differed and it seemed that they were captivated by her persona rather than her ideas .I had my coach's secretary call me. She was my schoolmate and the college in the state in the sea shore town where I was the friend of the writer nicknamed Pedro the facetious individual and Soho who came to my home and remained and we both ventured out in front of tracts above windmills full-time away there.
Then, at that point the woman said she had a green kimono in the closet which she took from the colossal assortment of things in her handbag. Her keister consisted of the multitude of things that she had amassed in the excursions. She said that she wanted to surrender it quickly. At the point when SW– inquired. Tomorrow, she said and added in her mother tongue, Slovene, 'conceivably tomorrow'. The snow hid in the background, and the little furnishings were unkempt. The boy showed up and when the couple sat tight for the room dispensed that evening, he came to with the modest declaration that the room was prepared. on the fourth floor, the kid said. Also, he added-"Sir the lift isn't working". What's more, SW- who had the propensity for talking finally and stopping after every expression and investigating the audience into their eyes for additional signals didn't articulate anything this time. Shortly the couple left. Furthermore, the kid showed up. The respectable man stinks of alcohol, the kid declared. – 'Don't have any desire to serve anyone who drinks. I might want to be in the organization of non-drinkers". The kid was perfecting virtues one item a week. He talked. Perhaps I will go to Cologne this late spring to complete my work. The kid had the propensity for visiting hallowed places each year. He had been in the lodging industry for as far back as three years. He had changed the lodging multiple times in this span. He showed the photos. They were photograph black and white with my old cartridge camera which my father introduced on my birthday. Which birthday, SW– posed, an apparently improper inquiry, as the woman later revealed to us both when we shared red wine and chaotically in the next week. She had a duplicate of one of Fitzgerald. A sad author, the SW- in plain bout of witter. More nostalgic than genuine. 'Not my view,' – I meddled . He continued – I like Jack London folks- You should carry on with life to an immense degree to connect and realize the core.
The kid was 5 feet nine inches and wore hazel shoes and suede and said that he would not like to serve the alcoholics. He had high aspirations throughout everyday life and he said that he frequently imagined that his life was not advancing to the levels he anticipated.
Came to Austria to see my coach. My mentor, 72 years of age, a retired individual who served in Vienna after World War-2. He, associated with the enhancements of the rail line, finally left as an engineering advisor . Towards the end of his profession, when there was just five years to resign, he found a new life of freedom, a wilful superannuation. He went toward the South. At that point his work was in Vienna and he went to stay with his child in the subalpine region by Danube His child wedded a distant cousin and they have two children, a boy and a young lady. My passage moved toward him and shaped a little tummy, which is an improbable sight taking everything into account. Since I met him, he has been mindful so as to keep his body in reasonable condition.
The other explorer turned out to be a mountain dweller, and he kept severe controls throughout everyday life, in practically every one of the circles. He was notwithstanding being late to ascend in the first part of the day. His main concern was the pug. He kept his tones and he had briefly given him under the care of cousin and appeared to be somewhat stressed over the matter. Be that as it may, he was by all accounts restored after we ate and a quart of red wine at eight evening at the inn's salon.

Shoemaker and the Apprentice
Short Story – Part–2
His mother was sick that day so the apprentice could not go to the shoemaker's store. And the boy requested a day off. With great irresolution, the shoemaker gave it. 'You must meet me at the party lounge anyway. I have a carton to transfer to home. Will you not?' he asked. The boy replied in the affirmative. ' 7 pm' – He said. And the apprentice went to the N.N. Hospital with his mother. The mother had to be administered sedation. She had some fluctuations in sodium levels. She behaved oddly. earlier she had some fluctuations in her potassium levels. That time she behave differently still. 'Keep the Bible in the auto-rickshaw', she instructed the boy. She was not completely alright. Her moods change. The boy thought- after the frequent sickness, her views of life are changing . Was it a change? Maybe. Mother was disinclined to talk. After papa's passing, she was not performing fit for some interval. Earlier she was not much into religious things. She was born a Christian and baptised in childhood. His father was Hindu. Theirs was a love marriage. And his father was a driver by profession. When he died in an accident, mother became lonely . Even then she did not read religious books. Her colleagues were Lara and Alicia, her neighbour who she called Liz. They were good mates.
She wrote to her only brother in Singapore so that the boy's education could be competed. The schools in the nearby areas ask big donation which they cannot have the wherewithal for. Education is a sweeping business. And sometimes, the people who are operating them don't have the basic education. They can not even speak properly. Once he was interviewed by one of the heads. They think that money can buy everything. Some people think that when they have money they are even above manners. Some have that infamous gawp that the whole world has taken a loan from them. Not all the rich, but some. She wrote a letter to her only brother in Singapore so that the boy's education could be completed. The boy's elder sister is wedded to a man in the gulf region. And the couple comes only once in two years for a short visit. The brother in Singapore did not reply. Instead, his wife called the neighbour's house landline. As they did not have a landline phone, the sister in law shouted in the other landline number. She said- 'Don't trouble us with your complaints. How old is the boy?' . 'Nine' – She said. "He can work and eat." The sister in law bawled over the phone. The neighbour is a good lady, a brunette from Innsbruck. She looked at her sympathetically. The neighbour did not say anything. She just took a warm gander. The next week the boy got work in the shoemaker's shop. His mother was a charwoman. The boy decided. He will work hard and be affluent and do some good activities in life. You know, maybe all the charwoman's sons can't become Albert Camus. Still, they all can strive towards excellence on some level. If a puppy can lick and show love to its caretaker, man can beyond question, do better things other than engage in trouble. Yes, man can.

Teacher thrashes student for wearing veil
Students of Khyber Medical College on Friday held a protest demonstration against thrashing of a veiled female student and called for immediate removal of the accused teacher.
College's Anatomy Department teacher, Rahim Bangash, allegedly thrashed a first-year MBBS student for wearing a veil in the classroom.
Witnesses said the teacher was insisting she stopped wearing the veil as she had now been nominated class representative for the girl students. The student however refused she would avoid using veil.
This led to an exchange of arguments, witnesses said, while adding that the teacher could not come up with a logical reasoning to support his arguments, so he got infuriated and thrashed the student in the classroom. He later left the college even.
After the incident, students boycotted their classes and gathered at the varsity campus to protest against Prof Rahim Bangash. They demanded the administration to remove the professor for thrashing the female student. The enraged students were holding placards and banners inscribed with slogans in favour of their demands. They also raised slogans against inhumane attitude of the teacher towards students. A large number of KMC students participated in the protest. All the MBBS first-year students wore veil in protest over unprofessional attitude of Prof Bangash.
The Khyber Teaching Hospital chief executive meanwhile took notice of the incident, and suspended the professor.
Besides, the KMC principal formed a four-member committee under senior professor Dr Liaquat Ali to carry out an inquiry into the matter.
Pressuring a woman not to wear a veil contravenes a woman's right to choose in the same way that forcing her to wear one does; both cases represent an attempt to control the woman and dictate how she should express herself. Even the right to a particular religious dress code is safeguarded by the Human Rights Act.
"Women and girls should not be forced to conform – it's important they make autonomous choices about their lives and everything including what to wear and not wear," said a female teacher requesting not to be named.
Muslim students, particularly females, studying abroad are facing troubles practicing the religious obligation of wearing a burqa or veil. In 2004, France passed a law banning school children from wearing religious symbols in all educational establishments, except for universities. Belgium followed the suit and banned the use of veil. Similar curbs were being instituted for Muslim students in Britain.
Many watchdogs say French and Belgian restrictions that rights groups say discriminate against Muslims.

When big-boosted Buicks ruled the Brickyard – Scott Brayton's '95 and '96 Lola T95 Menards
by	Daniel Strohl	 Thursday 25 July, 2019 Published in blog.hemmings.com
Scott Brayton's 1995 (L) and 1996 (R) pole-setting Indy cars, both powered by a turbocharged Buick V-6. Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
To change a long-stodgy image and promote its line of turbocharged performance cars, Buick went IndyCar racing in the mid-1980s, taking advantage of generous rulebook allowances for stock-block engines. Pancho Carter put a Buick-powered March on the Indy 500 pole in 1985, and a decade later, Scott Brayton drove Buick-powered Lolas to back-to-back Indy pole positions in '95 and '96. Next month, Brayton's two pole-winning Buick/Menard Lolas–the green '95 car and the yellow '96 car, both restored by Team Menards–will be crossing the block in California, part of Mecum's Monterey sale.
To encourage more manufacturers to build engines for the Indy 500 (and thus ensure a 33-car field), the United States Auto Club (USAC) allowed "stock block" engines to carry a larger displacement and run more boost than purpose-built and "exotic" racing engines. Stock block engines could be up to 3.43-liters in displacement (versus 2.65-liters), had to be based upon a production block using pushrods, and were permitted to run turbocharger boost of 55 inches of mercury (10 more inches than non-production engines).
The Buick IndyCar engine made its debut in 1985, and Scott Brayton began that year's Indy 500 alongside polesitter Carter. Carter's day ended on lap seven, with a broken oil pump, while Brayton's Buick held together until lap 20, when his engine let go. For a debut, such failures were to be expected, and while the Buicks were fast in practice and qualifying, reliability was clearly an issue.
Brayton Engineering, a firm owned by Scott's father Lee, worked with Buick to make its stock-block turbocharged V-6 both more powerful and more reliable. Gradually, additional teams signed on with Buick as an engine supplier, and in the early 1990s, the engine saw a few successes. Ten Buick-engined cars started the 1991 Indy 500, and Gary Bettenhausen qualified his Buick-powered Lola at a speed of 224.468 mph, faster than anyone else in the field. It would have delivered Buick's second Indianapolis pole position, had Bettenhausen's qualifying attempt not taken place on Sunday, May 12 – the day after Pole Day.
Roberto Guerrero put his Buick on the pole for the 1992 running of the Indy 500, and by then a dozen cars were using the engine, more than a third of the field. The Colombian put up a blistering qualifying speed of 232.482 mph, good enough for a track record, but unusually cold temperatures on race day made for chaos at the start. During the pace laps, Guerrero attempted to get heat in the rear tires by spinning them on the back straight. With little grip to be had, his car spun suddenly and collected the outside wall, ending his day before the race had even begun. He wasn't alone: Rookie Philippe Gache also spun (though avoided an impact), further delaying the green flag.
The good news for Buick in '92 was this: Veteran driver Al Unser Sr. brought his-Buick-powered Lola home in third place, proving that the engine could indeed go the distance. It was a fitting sendoff for the brand, which pulled out of the series as an engine supplier after the 1992 season. The Buick engine returned for 1993, but was now branded a Menard in honor of its benefactor, John Menard. Further development work was carried out on the engine, which stormed back to the top of the charts in 1995.
By this time the Menard stock block was reportedly making in the neighborhood of 1,000 horsepower, at least in qualifying trim. That put it nearly on par with the Mercedes-Benz 500I, an engine developed by Ilmor Engineering at the request of Roger Penske, whose team dominated the 1994 Indy 500 with the narrowly-inside-the-margin "stock block." Following the race, USAC wasted no time in reducing the amount of boost the Mercedes-Benz 500I would be permitted to run (first to 52 inHG and, later in the season, to 48inHG), interrupting Penske's preparation for the 1995 season. To the astonishment of Penske fans worldwide, the team that ruled the Brickyard in 1994 failed to qualify a single car for the 1995 Indianapolis 500.
Scott Brayton, driving for Team Menard, was atop his game in 1995. From opening day, May 6, Brayton and teammate Arie Luyendyk traded off top speeds, with both drivers putting up laps over 232 mph out of the gate. On May 8, Luyendyk posted a lap of 234.107 mph, then the fastest practice lap in IMS history. He'd break his own record three days later with a lap of 234.322 mph, only to see Brayton best this later in the day by running 234.656 mph. Before pole day, Luyendyk set the bar even higher, lapping at 234.913 mph.
Rain compressed the time allotted to qualifying on pole day, and Luyendyk quickly assumed the lead with a three-lap average of 231.031 mph. Less than 45 minutes before the end-of-day gun sounded, Brayton took to the track, putting up an average speed of 231.604 mph, good enough to seize the pole position from his teammate.
Come race day, however, Brayton experienced problems with his popoff valve, a USAC issued device meant to limit turbocharger boost. Though the Menards engines were allowed 55 inHG, Brayton's car felt underpowered, as if the valve were opening prematurely. Relegated to backmarker status, Brayton finished the day in 17th position, while Luyendyk came home in seventh.
The 1996 season would be the last for the Buick/Menard V-6, but Brayton once again demonstrated his prowess at the Brickyard, putting his Team Menard Lola on pole with an average speed of 233.718 mph. Speeds at the track had risen alarmingly, to the point where drivers were routinely turning average laps above 235 mph. Luyendyk, then driving for Byrd/Treadway Racing in a Ford-powered Reynard, put up a practice lap of 239.260, while Brayton's teammate, Tony Stewart, ran a lap at 237.336 mph. With rule changes looming on the horizon, speculation was that '96 would be the final year for big speed at the Brickyard, and perhaps that was a good thing.
Pole secured, Brayton carried on through the month of May performing the testing duties required of every driver, seeking the ideal balance and setup in a variety of conditions. On Friday, May 17, he was driving one of the team's backup cars, lapping at speed, when a rear tire suffered a puncture. Brayton spun in turn two, hitting the outside wall hard at the exit of the corner and sliding all the way to the track's back stretch. Safety workers found Brayton unconscious and extricated him from the car for treatment at Methodist Hospital, but it was already too late. The 37-year-old driver had been killed upon impact, the cause of death a basal skull fracture.
Teammate Stewart, who had qualified second, would take the pole for the 1996 Indy 500, while veteran Danny Ongais was hired to drive Brayton's already qualified car. The Flyin' Hawaiian did a commendable job of honoring Brayton's memory, starting from the last position on the grid (per USAC rules) and ending his day in seventh, the strongest finish of any Menard-powered car that year.
Brayton's last two Indy 500 cars—both 1995 Lola T95-00 chassis powered by Buick/Menard turbocharged V-6 engines–will be crossing the auction stage as individual lots. USAC serial number 6032 was the same used by Brayton for qualifying and the race, and it carries the livery and race number used by the Michigan driver in 1995. The 1996 car, USAC serial number 6002, was qualified by Brayton as the #2 car, but carries #32 today, as raced by Ongais in the '96 Indy 500. Both come ready to run (though the front telemetry wiring and batteries need to be reinstalled), and are eligible for competition in select vintage racing series.
Mecum predicts that the 1995 car, S/N 6032, will sell for $250,000-$300,000, while the 1996 car, S/N 6002, has a pre-auction estimate of $300,000-$400,000. Each represents a unique bit of General Motors history and Indy 500 history, from a time when even the "little guys" could run with the big teams at the Brickyard.

Portugal: Batalha, Nazaré, Obidos (Day 13)
Posted by Khali in Journal, Travel
ABC for another bloody castle, beaches, booze, food, medieval towns, Portugal, the world is beautiful, wine wine wine!
As we were about to leave Fatima this morning, another Trafalgar bus pulled up behind us and who should be in the front seat, but the tour guide Mom and I had on our last Trafalgar trip through Portugal – and not ten minutes later, the one we had in Spain appeared. What was fantastic is that they both remembered us and hugged us. I was really pleased and mom was just over the moon. Such nice people.
Our first stop is probably one of my most favourite places now: Batalha.
There was a battle regarding the succession to the throne when one of Portugal's kings died without a male heir. The monastery was built to thank the Virgin Mary for the Portuguese victory over the Castilians in the battle of Aljubarrota in 1385, fulfilling a promise of King John I of Portugal – who from the history books seemed to be the bastard son of a previous king, one Pedro I. Regardless of it's purpose, the place is both unfinished, and astonishing. Subsequent generations of the royal family added to, re-purposed and generally messed around with it's floor plan until we have this intricate and beautiful building. (I had a really hard time paring down my photos for this entry.) When John and his wife Phillipa died they were depicted on their sarcophagus holding hands – they actually liked each other which is a peculiarity among alliance marriages. Among their children was Henry the Navigator who is also buried here.
After our visit to Batalha, we went on to Nazaré.
Nazaré is also on my list of favourite places.
It's a fishing turned surfing town, so usually busy only in season, but so pretty and a destination I would have been sure to frequent had I been a Portuguese teenager. Mom and I had a pizza with a couple from Toronto, did a little souvenir shopping and then trekked down the sand to stick our feet in the surf.
Next stop on this beautiful day is Óbidos.
Óbidos is a medieval town – and by that I mean that the old town is still pretty much as it was back in medieval times. I do believe they have Ren fairs and such there – there are enough shops selling medieval and renaissance garb to make this true. Pedro had another little hidden treat for us here, which was a taste of the local liqueur: Ginjinha It's served in little chocolate cups which you are obligated to eat afterwards. (oh, darn.) SO GOOD.
Óbidos was one of the few cities that belonged to what was called the Queen's House, and therefore they paid their taxes to the Queen, rather than to the King – ostensibly to give the queen some spending money, but it seems like she spent it, and then some, on improving the cities themselves. Pedro told us where we could purchase a replica Queen's happiness ring which sent a number of our ladies hurrying off to the little silver smith, but mom and I went exploring.
On our way from Óbidos to Lisbon, Pedro recapped our trip for us, which I thought was really nice. He handed out little gifts and there was much applause and praise and a little bit of singing, even though we hadn't had as much wine as we had had at Casa Insua.
The evening marked our last with the group and our farewell dinner was at Flo, in Lisbon, which is where we went last time as well, There is a very artistic rendition of the zodiac on one wall inside is how I remember. We are handed champagne as we file inside and we are all a little bit sad that our tour is over. The food is fabulous and we exchange contact info and memories as we eat.
Thank you, Trafalgar for another fabulous tour.
Portugal: Oporto (Day 11)
ABC for another bloody castle, Douro, Oporto, Port, Portugal, wine wine wine!
We began our day with a tour led by a local guide: a lovely and funny woman by the name of Fatima. Porto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as such is slated for restoration. Like Lisbon, there was a rental freeze so that many places still have ridiculously low rents – but of course that meant that landlords did not have the funds to repair or maintain the buildings, which meant that many of them look sad and dilapidated. Fatima said that the restoration was estimated to take 40 years and than in 40 years she would be our guide again and that would be her first miracle.
On our way to the City centre, she pointed out the school where JK Rowling taught and pointed out that she had married, and then divorced a very stupid Portuguese man. She then went on to say that that was why they exported them.
Our first stop was the Commerce centre. I had forgotten how amazing the inside was, and kind of forgot to take many pictures because there was so much to look at – and even when I did I really messed up the light. There was even an odd collection of mythological creatures being constructed in the centre room for some kind of exhibit.
The Arabic room was the most astonishing, even after the room that was made entirely of inlaid wood of varying kinds. There was no blank spaces which Fatima said pointed to the Baroque fear of emptiness.
After our tour here, we were taken across the river (the Douro again) to visit the cellars of the Sandeman Port Winery. There were marks on the outside of the doorway that marked the level of past floods.
We got to tour the cellars and watched little video of how Port is made and where and then we got to sample two kinds: Ruby and White Port. Pedro, bless his little heart, had bought chocolates for us all to have with our samples.
Our guide was dressed in the iconic cloak and hat that's on the company's branding and spoke as though she were rehearsing lines, but she answered all our questions with excellent knowledge. Mom and I have a special connection to the Port trade, as her granddad imported Port for a company (across the river, incidentally) called Dow's.
I bought a little sampler set for myself and a bottle of the White Port. I wanted to buy more, but my suitcase is to small. I should have shipped some home, but we did not have much time before João came to take us to the old quarter for our free time.
We were instructed to meet our driver at 4 outside of the Imperial MacDonalds – which is complete with Imperial double eagles and art deco stained glass and chandeliers inside. Lat time we went to the Lello Bookstore where I got a book about the insides – so beautiful – but this time we wanted to explore some of the areas we did not see last time.
Porto Cat is not please to have his photo taken…
We wandered up and down the high street and bought a couple of baubles – and then had coffee at the Majestic Cafe. If you're a Rowling fan, you'll know about this place.
In the evening, we went on a cruise on the Douro, complete with another sample of Port and a beautiful sunset, and then we had dinner in a restaurant on the edge of the river that is famous for it's rabbit stew. It's called Chez Lapin – and has a little hutch outside where the proprietor's favourite pet spends the day. I had the pork. As good as it smells, I can't bring myself to eat rabbit.
Lisbon, Sintra, Estoril and Cascais (Day 5)
ABC for another bloody castle, Age of Discoveries, architecture, Fado, food, Lisbon, Portugal, Sintra, travel bug
After Breakfast, we headed out on a guided coach tour of greater Lisbon. I think the local guide we had this time was the same woman we had before; a fiery little dark-haired woman called Ju. We took quite a different route than the night before – and I tell you I am so glad we are taking a tour because driving here would be quite an adventure for me – possibly of heart attack proportions. João however, seems totally unruffled at the shocking way some of these little cars seem to dart in front of this massive tour bus.
Anyway, it was really interesting to see some of the parts Mom and I had walked through, essentially from above, since we are so much higher up in the tour bus. Construction in Lisbon is limited by the fact that they have to keep the facades (much like they do here of heritage buildings) in order to maintain the esthetic look that keeps the tourists coming back. To that end, from the street you can't see much because the site is always hidden behind drop cloths of a sort. From the bus though, one could see right inside. I must say I have never seen such a tiny backhoe before – though I suppose in such narrow spaces it's necessary to have.
Lisbon is a city of poets. I say this because the people have a romantic view of their land and I can't blame them – there is so much history in it. Ju told us about the seven hills that make up Lisbon that surround the Baixa and how the Castelo at the top had been a fortress for as long as there have been people living in the area. The name Lisbon/Lisboa is said to come from either a Phoenician word meaning 'quiet bay' or from the name Ulysses:(Latin Ulyssippo) and/or Roman Olissipona, for the name of the Tagus river. Romans, Greeks, Arabs all lived in the area until it was conquered by the first king of Portugal in 1147.(Afonso Henriques I think, but don't quote me.)
Our first stop was at Belem, which is a tower that used to be situated in the center of the river, but over time and because of the earthquakes the region has experienced, the river has silted up and changed positions. They have built a little ramp that goes inside the little tower but we didn't go inside, choosing instead to inspect the beach and the decorative stonework on its outside.
Ju talks a lot about the Age of Discoveries, which spans the 15th to the 18th centuries and is characterized by all the travelling and exploring done by the Portuguese navy. This tower at Belem was built during this era as part of a defense system and as a ceremonial entrance to Lisbon. Belem, and the monastery nearby, the Jerónimos Monastery are decorated in the Manueline style: which is essentially nautical in theme – and very intricate. One of the key features is the appearance of little flower-like pieces which represent the artichokes the sailors used to prevent scurvy on long journeys.
Ju then showed us the Monument to the Discoveries, which is sitting at the current riverside. This monument was built in the 60's and depicts all the people involved – both physically and symbolically – in the Age of Discoveries. Henry the Navigator is at the top, his Brother (Edward?), a priest, a poet and two men bearing a pole with the arms of Portugal, among many others.
In front of the monument was a map made of marble that showed all the places Portugal had influence during the Age of Discoveries. Our guide gave a French guide crap for letting his group stand right on the map so we could not see it while we clustered around the edge like school children and she asked us all where we were from and pointed out how Portugal had some influence on our history. I did not get a picture this time because of that, but there were sea monsters and mermaids around the outside, and some symbolic images of the winds. Very pretty.
We went into the monastery which was extraordinarily spacious. Apparently the monastery had been occupied by the military religious Order of Christ who were to assist seafarer's in transit. Henry the Navigator was Grand Master of this order. This is the place that Vasco da Gama prayed the night before setting off on his global adventures. Vasco da Gama is also buried here, as is Camões, Portugal's epic poet. The tombs of the Kings buried here rest on the backs of marble elephants, these two rested on the backs of lions. See how it is decorated with ropes and knots and wheels? Very cool.
When we came out, Pedro had been to a nearby bakery – apparently the only bakery that has the correct recipe for something called a Belem Tart. In order to make money later on in the monastery's life, the monks took to baking and selling desserts – often for which they became famous. This is one of those desserts and omg… so delicious. They were still warm from the oven and consisted of a very particular custard-type filling in a crisp little pastry cup. There are shops in Lisbon that also sell "Belem tarts' but none are like this, which are made here in the municipal region of Belem.
After this some of our number went back to the hotel, but the rest of us stayed on for the optional excursion to Sintra. We drove up the coast of Estoril, which is by turns Atlantic and rock and sometimes dune-y. We had lunch in the beautiful little fishing village of Cascais (pronounced Cash-kaish). We ate ice cream in Santini's, which is said to have served ice cream to Royalty, both in exile and not. During WWII, Portugal was neutral so many royal families escaped to Cascais for the duration. There are photos on the wall of the famous people who have eaten there. I had a coconut milkshake and mom and one called Wild fruit. So very tasty.
After this we took a scenic drive up the mountain to Sintra, said to be named after the Greek Moon Goddess, Cyntia (An alternate name for Artemis/Selene) . The King built a summer palace in the area to take advantage of the hunting there and a town sprang up around it. We went into the palace and through all the intricately decorated rooms. I did not take as many pictures as I should have because I was just blown away by how much stuff there was to look at on the walls and the ceilings. One ceiling was covered in swans and another a pattern of magpies and Ju told a story about how the King had been seen to kiss a lady that was not the Queen and how all the ladies gossiped and so he had the ceiling commissioned. There was more to that, and I shall have to look it up. Mom and I then explored the narrow streets and again mom was drawn up the one street that lead to the top of the mountain and the fortress wall – the same wall that her grandparents had taken a photo from on their honeymoon.
Then we headed back to Lisbon for our second optional of the tour: a Fado night. Our driver dropped us off at the viewpoint in the Barrio Alto and then we had the fortune to have a look inside a little church nearby where everything inside had been made and then consecrated in Rome and then shipped to Lisbon – that's every block of marble, gold leaf and painting. It's apparently a museum now, but it would be a bit astonishing to have gone to church there I think. Then we walked through some of the more twisty streets to the Fado district and went into one of the Fado restaurants for dinner. The food was lovely and the singing tugged at our heartstrings yet again.


Although there is no definitive answer to what causes ASD, most experts in the medical and educational communities agree that it is likely influenced by genes and brain development. We do not know what causes the brain to develop differently, but we do know that there is a strong genetic link to ASD. That is families that have one child with ASD have an increased likelihood of having another child with ASD. We also know that ASD is four times more likely to occur in boys (1 in 54) than in girls (1 in 152), and that the overall occurrence of ASD has increased dramatically with the current estimated prevalence being 1 in 59.
What do we know about interventions for students with ASD?
ASD is a lifelong disorder. Currently, there is no known cure. Intervention for ASD, however, can be extremely effective and many children diagnosed with ASD as very young children succeed in general education.
Based on the existing evidence on intervention, the National Research Council (2001) suggests that interventions for preschool children with ASD begin as early as possible, provide 25 hours a week of planned instructional time, use a curriculum that includes goals from across developmental domains, provide opportunities to interact with typically developing children, use positive behavior support to encourage and teach appropriate behaviors, and provide support and education to families.
What are evidence-based practices for young children with ASD?
The evidence is clear that there is not a single correct way to educating children with ASD. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), however, is one strategy that has been demonstrated to be effective in teaching children with ASD for over 40 years. ABA uses behavioral principles (e.g., positive reinforcement) to teach valued skills to students with ASD. ABA is an important component in a comprehensive early intervention/early childhood special education program for young children with ASD.
What types of settings are most appropriate for the education of young children with ASD?
It is also important that young children with ASD have opportunities everyday to interact successfully with typically developing peers. These opportunities must be planned for and supported in order to make sure that they are fun and successful for both the children with ASD and the typically developing children.

Jackie Chan to get lifetime achievement Oscar
September 2, 2016 Edit
SYDNEY - Martial arts expert and actor Jackie Chan will receive a lifetime achievement Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced. Chan, 62, the Hong Kong-born star of Hollywood movies such as "Kung Fu Panda," "The Karate Kid" and the "Rush Hour" franchise, will join documentary maker Frederick Wiseman, British film editor Anne V. Coates and casting director Lynn Stalmaster as recipients of the 2016 Governors Awards. Each will get an honorary Oscar statuette recognizing their lifetime contribution to film at a gala in Los Angeles in November. Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs in a statement called them all "true pioneers and legends in their crafts." Chan made his movie debut at the age of 8, and has acted and sometimes written and directed more than 30 martial arts movies in Hong Kong. He has never won an Oscar. In August, he was ranked the second-highest paid actor in the world by Forbes with estimated 2016 earnings of $61 million, just below "Fast and Furious" star Dwayne Johnson. -Reuters


Day two of the LPTST was vastly different for me than last year. Since main riding buddy, Steve (above), was ill last year, I spent much of the second day riding solo. Since I didn't know about the various alternate routes, I tended to stay on the main route along the lake. The main route is fine and includes many great views of the water, but the alternates offer more elevation variation, challenge, and much less traffic. This year I had two riding buddies, Steve and Shawn, we took the roads less traveled, and it (as the saying goes) made all the difference.
I intended a smaller number of "highlight" photos, and I actually edited many out. But this post is still photo heavy because these images evoke too many happy thoughts to omit.
You'll have to take my word that its a Bald Eagle. We don't see these where I come from, so it was a thrill for me.
Jon, the Shirt Tail Organizer, leaves Lake City on a lovely tandem. He had a stoker on the first day.
Last year there was an old one lane bridge here. This year, the wide, new monstrosity was much less pleasant to the eyes. But we used it as re-grouping place anyway.
The traditional Frontenac wall gathering and photo-op.
Don't let this fancy dressed lady fool you…she is a strong rider.
While pretty, Hill Avenue does include one challenging climb. Although this isn't the hardest part, its still much steeper than it looks in the photo.
Noel, in many ways, is the heart and soul of this tour. I want to ride like this man when I'm his age. Everyone loves Noel.
Flower Valley Road is a long, gradual uphill which included (yes) wildflowers blooming all along the way.
After this came the rushing descent into Red Wing, and the bittersweet end of the LPTST for another year. For three of us, however, there was more three speed touring ahead. I'll speak to that in my next post.
I was fortunate enough to participate in my second consecutive Lake Pepin Three Speed Tour this year. The link provides a more complete description of the event itself. I'll use this post (plus two more) to provide a few highlights. This post is simply a photo dump of many of the bikes used by tour participants. These photos will also provide some indication of the dress and assorted baggage used by those of us (nutters of the realm) odd enough to spend a weekend celebrating simplicity.
These were taken at the gathering place prior to the roll-out. Even though this was only my second time here, it was good to see and visit with friends made last year. Once we spent a few seconds reminding one another of names, we picked up the conversation and had a grand time anticipating the adventure before us. What would be a more positive foreshadowing than the aroma of steel, canvas, wicker, tweed, and tea?
The next two posts will include highlights of each of the two days of touring. The big difference this year is the alternate routes we used. These alternate routes provided a more challenging, enjoyable, and scenic version of the tour this year. Hopefully, the few photos I select will illustrate the visual highlights well.

I was fortunate to have secured a one night reservation for beach cottage #19B at Crystal Cove during our September trip to southern California. These cottages have been refurbished to reflect the style of California beach vacations in simpler times before the advent of wifi, computers, cable TV,…
But snagging a reservation through Reserve America requires the use of modern technology to log on the first of the month, 6 months prior to the month of your desired stay and being lucky enough to secure one of the limited number of cottages available. Checking several times a day for a few weeks prior to our trip, I managed to snag a cancellation for one of the smaller units for 1 night, which would not require sharing dorm-style accommodations as some of the units do. Having learned about this unique spot through articles in Sunset & Coastal Living in recent years, my husband's siblings and families had traveled to the location just south of Newport Beach several years ago over the Christmas holiday season to dine at the Beachcomber Cafe in one of the cottages on the beach. We had ample time to stroll along the beach and explore the tide pools as we waited to be seated. Our small unit with only small refrigerator and microwave should be adequate for our 1 night stay, though many other units offer more complete kitchen facilities. It gives us an excuse to dine at the Beachcomber Cafe again or the more casual Ruby's Shake Shack on the cliffs above by Hwy .
Lying halfway between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, about 60 miles south of Los Angeles, Crystal Cove first attracted Hollywood filmmakers in the 1920s. Seasonal tent-dwellers took up residence in the 1930s. For the next half-century, a handful of families leased cottages from the Irvine Company, which owned most of the area's coastal ranchlands. In 1979, the land was sold to the state of California for preservation as a State Park. The community of Crystal Cove cottages was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and the cottage dwellers faced a 22-year countdown before they would have to vacate their cottages by July, 2001. The State had awarded a private developer rights and a 60 year lease to turn the historic cottages into a luxury resort. A third generation Covite, Laura Davick, resisted the plan, proposing an alternative plan that would keep the Cove's cottages totally intact with a combination of overnight rental and educational uses. She founded the non-profit Alliance to Rescue Crystal Cove in 1999. She took her cause to Sacramento where she eventually prevailed. In 2003, the organization transitioned into the Crystal Cove Alliance as it's mission shifted from rescue to restoration and education.The Crystal Cove Alliance is the first cooperating association in the history of State Parks to be awarded a concession contract. It's a unique model that keeps revenues in the park for future restoration. The Crystal Cove Historic District is a 12.3-acre coastal portion of the 2,791-acre Crystal Cove State Park. The federally listed Historic District is an enclave of 46 vintage rustic coastal cottages originally built as a seaside colony in the 1930's & '40's and nestled around the mouth of Los Trancos Creek. It is one of the last remaining examples of early 20th century Southern California coastal development. California State Parks and the Crystal Cove Alliance have completed Phases I and II of restoration in the Historic District, which provide cottages for visitor services, educational and community programs, a restaurant, and 21 cottages for overnight use by the public. Each cottage has been authentically and painstakingly restored to preserve the architectural charms of the original structures. Seventeen cottages remain to be restored as funds become available. Located off busy Pacific Coast Highway between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove is one of Orange County's largest remaining examples of open space and natural seashore.

However carefully one goes they hold you –
you leave little bits of yourself fluttering on the fences."
