Favorite Mineplex Game
Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Vytas, Jan 3, 2020.
What is your favorite game to play on Mineplex? My favorite is either Draw My Thing or DOM.
Animalll
I have answered many threads with this same question before with the same or similar answers. I will continue to do so by saying I have three favourite games. My favourite Solo Pvp game: Skywars. This is because Skywars is really fast paced, fun and unique with the addition of kits. Favourite team pvp game: Micro Battles - One of the most iconic games of the server, something new happens every game and it's just really fun! My favourite non pvp game is Monster Maze. It is so fun and doesn't require that much concentration, just expert navigation skills. Can't wait to read the responses!

There are so many games that come to mind when I think of my "Favourite" game. However, it'll definitely have to be either Skywars or Bridges. Both of the games are PvP based and are very competitive in the community. Skywars is a very short game and Bridges is quite time consuming, but super fun. When it comes to teamwork, i'd definitely suggest Bridges or if you want a friend to join along the way, team Skywars.

Honestly, my favourite game changes a lot. At the moment I'm playing Mixed Arcade pretty regularly, as I'm trying to get as many achievements as possible. It's also giving me a considerable amount of XP due to the double XP event. However, Sky Wars has always been a favourite of mine and I find myself coming back to it every time. As @Animalll said, I love how the game is fast paced and super unique compared to the other games on the network. Super interesting reading all the responses!

My answer to this question frequently changes, as I find myself enjoying different games at various times. Overall it's been Skywars; as stated above, I love the fast-paced PvP and the fact that the games usually don't last too long, which allows me to play more or fit them into a smaller period. It's been my go-to game ever since I joined the server. Another one I love is Dragon Escape, I've always been a fan of parkour, and I find it to be a nice change-up from more PvP oriented games. My last one is Cake Wars. Cake wars is the perfect blend of PvP and strategy, as you have to utilize both to win, which makes for great games. Those are my three favorite games, in that order.
Edit: I also love SSM; it's definitely one of my favorites.

honestly, nano games. it's a great game where i don't have to worry too much about tryhards since the game is a set of mini games that aren't just based on pvp. my favorite nano game is gladiators since unlike other gamemodes like cake wars and skywars the only thing you're given is armor and an enchanted diamond sword. no rods. since i am accustomed to pvping without projectiles or rods, this game is basically a huge chance of a free win i could get. sometimes i even win against tryhards!

I am a person who has a very short attention span and gets bored easily, which means that my favourite game on the server is always changing. For a few years, improving my Draw My Thing game was always my number one priority and as a bonus, I always enjoyed it immensely and my friends all played it too at the time. In fact, it inspired multiple YouTube videos of 11-year-old me tryharding that I don't consider acceptable at the age of 15, looking back. However, in the end, DMT probably wins my vote as it triggers many memories of the old days where my friends and I played it almost every evening. It was the one game where I admitted I enjoyed it even when I lost, which for me, at that age, was almost unheard of!
Glad to see that you agree with me here - DMT will always be elite ;)

So I actually have 3 favourite games depending on how I'm feeling/who I'm with when I'm actually playing on the server.
Cake Wars (Duos/Standard):
I really enjoy playing CW Duos with my IRL best friend. We always play it when we're on the server together and we have a stupid strategy of hiding in people's cakes without actually eating them because that's our humour and we find it entertaining. It's really fun to do and I recommend doing that if you're ever playing Duos! As for Standard, I often play that alone and I just like being the defender of the cake because over the years I've become pretty good at that. It's a good game to just interact with the community too because for the most part the CW community are pretty nice
Speed Builders:
I've been playing a lot of SB recently because of the Double XP that Mineplex has had going on. I levelled up 9 times in 13 days. I like to be with friends while I play it because when you're in a voice call with someone it gets a lot more interesting. However I can play this alone too because it's just an easy game and doesn't require much thought. I like trying to beat my personal best for perfect builds on each build too
Nano Games:
I kind of have to be with friends in a voice call while I play this or I get extremely bored extremely quickly. I love Nano but only a few select games. Similarly to SB it doesn't require much thought and I can focus more on the conversation that's going on in a vc which I like the most. I am a complete tryhard at Color Swap (it's the best Nano game) and Bawk Bawk's "Wrathe".
Some other good Mineplex games are Death Tag, DMT and Master Builders but I don't play them that often
_Prof_
I usually play PvP games on Mineplex. It is the aspect on Minecraft I love most since it is competitive, intense, and nail-biting. Here are my favourite games from 5th to best.
5. Speed Builders
4. Mixed Arcade
3. Cake Wars
2. Survival Games
1. The Bridges

I really love the games that Mineplex has to offer. I don't think that I could pick a single favourite, so I'll probably pick games from each of the categories:
Casual: Draw My Thing. Was the first game I ever played on the server and is still tons of fun to play, even now.
Intermediate: Either Cake Wars or Skywars. I'd probably be leaning more towards CW, because it's good for XP as well as the fact that I have fun playing with friends and communicating with team mates, although Skywars has definitely been my most played game recently.
Hardcore: I've always been a Champions enthusiast and thus it would have to be my favourite game, not just only in the hardcore category but on the server as a whole. I also think SSM deserves a shout as I used to play it a ton back around 2015/2016, although nowadays I don't play it as much.
Arcade: Monster Maze and Dragon Escape would have to be my favourite arcade games. Monster Maze was a game I used to grind a lot back around early 2016, and I got all achievements for that game fairly quickly. Dragon Escape is something I've been playing more recently, and I feel as if my parkour skills have improved quite a bit. I'm starting to love parkour games much more.

To be honest, I agree with Ken and I also cannot pick a favourite so here are my Top Five. With some variation (made sure they weren't all PVP based). Champions Domination, Sky Wars, Cake Wars, Dragon Escape, Draw My Thing. Thank you for making this post :)

I really only play Cake wars, Bridges, and Survival Games. If I had to pick, my favorite is Survival Games.

I'd have to say my favorite games at the moment have to be Cake Wars, Nano Games, and Death Tag. I've had so much fun playing these games.
Valenia
I don't have one single favorite game, but I do have multiple. The games I find myself playing on a regular basis are Nano Games and Cake Wars. Nano Games is one of my favorites because the different variety of gamemodes ensures that it never gets dull. Nano Games has something for everyone, whether you enjoy parkour, are skillful at pvp, or just want to play a diverse assortment of minigames. It's also a really great way to steadily converse with new people as the games don't require constant attention. Cake Wars has always been one of my favorites. It's fun to play whether I'm alone or with friends, and it's helped improve my pvp (although I'm still not the greatest), strategic abilities, and communication with my team.
I also really love playing Halloween Havoc and Christmas Chaos when it's that time of year. I like to challenge myself sometimes by completing them solo, but playing with friends makes it more interesting too.
Besides those, depending on my mood, I may play Speed Builders, Block Hunt, or Draw My Thing.
ScarletBlood37
As I play on both platforms and have different favorite games on each of them, I'll first start off with Bedrock favorite game, as I have been playing there for much longer.
I have three favorite bedrock games and they are...
1 and 2: Cake Wars and Micro Battles - both are extremely quick paced games (on bedrock, at least), rushing teams is the most fun thing ever, and I just have a ton of friends who play CW and MB I love to hang out with.
3. Mixed Arcade - the variety of games never makes me bored. Always fun to play solo when none of my friends are on.
Java favorite games
As I have only bought Java for about a month or so, I don't have lots of in-game time and I haven't played many of the games... the PVP switch is aggravating as knockback increases so much and everything is different. The fact that I can't jump bridge anymore deters me from playing any game that needs bridging (Cake Wars, Skywars, etc.). I prefer more casual games on Java, and a game that I have taken interest to is Draw My Thing. It's tons of fun and I don't have to do pvp, or annoy myself by bridging. I can literally just sit in a corner of the map the entire game, and I love doing that xD
I'd say out of these four games, Mixed Arcade on Bedrock and Draw My Thing on Java are definitely my favorite games.
alexanderjt
I'd say my favorite game is Super Paintball.
Two of my all-time favorite games on Mineplex are Draw My Thing and Block Hunt. Right now, I don't think I could choose one over the other. When I'm feeling like relaxing, I play Draw My Thing. When I feeling like doing something that involved a bit of PVP, I like to play Block Hunt. It's always interesting to see who loves playing which game(s). I love playing games like Survival Games and Bridges, I'm just incredibly terrible at them! I think I just need a good group of people to play with to teach me the ropes on some of the more popular games.
Jaborrie
Hello! This is a very hard choice for me as I just can't pick one favorite game. My top 3 favorite games would have to be Skywars, Survival Games, and Speed Builders. Skywars is a fast-paced game and easy to win. It's a game I played a lot during the Double XP Weekend, which overall helped me level up a bit. Survival Games is also one of my favorite games. Although it's not a game you would necessarily grind, I still enjoy playing it. Lastly, I would have to say Speed Builders is my third favorite. The game is overall just fun to me and I always have fun playing it.
CowHatake
Hmmm this is a tough one. I would say my current top three games at the moment are...
1. Super Paintball
2. Super Smash Mobs
I have recently gotten into playing paintball a good bit recently, as I'm sure some of the paintball community has seen me around. I have always loved SSM and it was the main game that drew me into the server at the start and ultimately led to me trying new things, that love for the game has never changed and I still hold it dear to me. Last would be Cake Wars, I simply just love the gameplay feel of it and love the idea of having to eat other peoples cakes in order to win the game.

What an interesting question you've brought! I think that it's individual. All the kits have different features, and I find it hard to point at one specific kit to be "the best". You need to test the kits and see what fits you the best.

Olive oil and garlic marinades are used most often to spruce up BBQ dishes. These types of marinades provide the meat with moisture, which will help them cook efficiently and provide delicious flavors. There are many benefits to using an olive oil and garlic marinade, as it is a healthy way to prepare food.
Grilling is a favorite past time, and you always want to produce flavorful results. An olive oil and garlic marinade helps lock in moisture, which will deter the meat from drying out while it is being cooked. Plus, this mixture will help decrease the chances of your meat sticking to the grill.
Olive oil and garlic marinades are easy to make, and you only have to soak your meats for 30 minutes. Of course, if you are preparing thicker cut meats, they will need to soak longer. While the meat is soaking, it becomes infused with the amazing flavors that you added in your oil marinade. Garlic has a lot of heart health benefits, and olive oil is the best kind of oil you can use, both in health, flavor and versatility.
Olive oil and garlic have the ability to penetrate meats faster than any other oil, which makes it ideal if you are in a hurry. Some marinades will require you to soak your meats overnight, but that is not the case with an olive oil and garlic marinade. This mixture will also decrease the amount of moisture that is lost, which means meats will turn out juicier.
When soaking meat in an olive oil and garlic marinade, it will break down the protein chain. This will result in tender meat. However, you do not want to allow your meats to soak for too long, because they can become mealy and soft. This is true for fish and seafood.
You will find that an olive oil and garlic marinade is one of the easiest marinades to make. You can add whatever herbs or spices that you desire including citrus. Put meat in a long baking dish, and pour marinade over the top of it. Allow the meat to sit for at least 30 minutes. Remove from pan and place on the grill. All of this will result in a delicious tasting meat that is juicy, tender and full of flavor. At your next cookout, try soaking your meats in an olive oil and garlic marinade to ensure your cookout is one that everyone talks about.


I hope, if you have the time, you will go over to see my project!
I've never really registered before that you don't like brown! But what a brilliant job you've done with it over at AVJ... I love it.
I popped over to check it out!
I think it turned out fabulous and the blue worked well with all the brown.
Bravo, Anne! I LOVE, LOVE, LLOOOVVVEE this tag! You certainly seem perfectly comfortable with your grungy browns, although you don't use them much. What a fabulous tutorial you've prepared at A Vintage Journey, too! Hugs!
I don't know if I would have like the tag alone Anne but you sure did make it special by putting on your canvas with the blue color. You do seem to have a good eye and know just what is needed.
Anne, I was over giving a look at your tag, and I am proud of your bravery! Myself, I do not use much brown either,but I really think you did a superb job with toning it down with the blues! Great tag! And I love the mounting of it as well!Well done on your journey ,my friend!
Popped over and LOVED it!!! The colors, oh the colors, and love the boy gent...so fun!

He has several jet type ratings and has been to school for and flown nearly every corporate turbo-prop ever manufactured. During the 24 years in the aviation business prior to going into business for himself, Rick has held positions such as Chief pilot of corporate flight operations, Director of Charter operations / sales and has consulted several corporations in regards to setting up their flight departments, hiring crews and purchasing the aircraft that meets their mission profile most efficiently. With the desire to spend more time with his 7 children and avoid being on the road on a daily basis, Rick chose to go into the aircraft sales business full time and formed R.A. Swick and Assoc., Inc. in 1994. R.A. Swick and Assoc., Inc. has maintained many long term client relationships which Rick credits with the fact that he has an excellent research team and stays personally involved in each and every transaction, before, during and after every sale.
Nancy Swick
Vice President / Secretary
Nancy has been married to Rick for 29 years and is the mother of their 7 children. Spending much of her life traveling in private aircraft and working at Rick's side, Nancy has naturally learned a lot about the aviation industry. Although Nancy has always been involved in the business, she joined the team full time when their youngest daughter started school in 2001. Nancy is in charge of managing the office and handling special projects, such as modification pricing, maintenance quotes, etc.
Aaron Swick
Research / Sales
Aaron is Rick and Nancy's oldest son and is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University. Aaron is continually working on advancing his flight ratings. Growing up around the aviation business, Aaron was able to log hundreds of hours flying in sophisticated aircraft with his Dad. Due to his love of aviation Aaron joined the company full time in 2005 and works in research and sales.
Jamie Rauch
Jamie, like the rest of the Swick family, grew up around aviation and learned to love it. She got her introduction to the aviation business working as a researcher for the company during the summers of 2007 through 2009 while attending Northwood University in Midland, MI. Northwood is an excellent University, well known for its close ties to the Auto Industry. Jamie graduated from Northwood in 2010 and joined the company full time. The fact that she was both a full time athlete for the University and the Valedictorian of her class says it all when it comes to her drive and determination.
Erik Chappell
Legal / Contracts
Erik has been working as the company's legal consultant since it was founded in 1994. Erik is an experienced contract attorney and has been involved in the aviation industry for many years. Erik has extensive knowledge of how aircraft deals are structured, including working with Escrow / Title companies, pre-purchase inspections, closings and 1031 exchanges. Erik's primary concern is that all parties in a particular transaction are protected and fully understand the terms of the sales agreements.

Part of Catholic New Times Inc. fonds
Series consists of files relating to special projects carried out by the members and staff of the New Catholic Times, including the development of a mission statement in 1993, a readership survey, the reorganization of the corporation's structure in 1989, and a proposal for purchasing street boxes from which to sell the newspaper.

Part of Faith and Sharing Federation fonds
The series consists of a copy of the original list of the Faith and Sharing Federation fonds produced by Madeleine Seguin, August 15, 1994. Also includes documents relating to the deposit of records to Archives Deschalets, Ottawa, in 1993-1994 and the donation of the records to University of St. Michael's College in 2004.
Séguin, Madeleine
Administrative resources files
CA ON00389 F4-13
Series consists of administrative resources files which were maintained for Nouwen by Nouwen's administrative staffs from 1983 to 1997. These files contain materials collected by Nouwen in order to assist him with his roles as pastor, writer, researcher, and friend. In addition to subject-based material such as newspaper clippings and brochures, it is evident that Nouwen's administrative assistants at Daybreak used these files to hold administrative material related to liturgical events such as Christmas, Lent, and Easter, as well as other aspects of Nouwen's duties in the community. These files were likely maintained as a resource for Nouwen regarding his daily work.
The titles of the files are taken directly from the file labels created by Nouwen and his administrative assistants, unless otherwise noted. The files are arranged by subject or topic (such as Latin America, Vincent van Gogh, or Abbey of the Genesee), are in alphabetical order, and materials within the files have been maintained chronologically. Many of the materials have been placed in this series because they contain annotations, either by Nouwen or an assistant, saying "File" with the subject or name or "File - Resource files."
Research and reference material
[between 1952 and 1974?]
Part of Douglas Ellory Pett fonds
Series consists of bound and loose leaf research and reference notes handwritten and typed by Douglas Ellory Pett relating to his thesis and extensive research on the early Anglican sermons of John Henry Newman. Includes detailed bibliographic entries on published works; meticulous notes on biblical references used by Newman in his sermons; transcriptions of Newman's correspondence and archival records; as well as notes on contemporary accounts of Newman's preaching activities.
Series consists of more than 16 000 letters received by Henri Nouwen between 1964 and 1997. Some files include photographs and other printed material sent to Nouwen as enclosures. In some instances, a copy of Nouwen's typed letter of reply is also included in the file.
Series consists of records of a personal nature which were created and kept by Nouwen throughout his life. These materials are arranged into sub-series and files which reflect the main value of that grouping of personal records.
This series has been arranged into five sub-series:
1.4.1. Weekly calendars
1.4.2. Retreat and discernment notes
1.4.3. Personal papers
1.4.4. Family papers
1.4.5. Official documents
Series also contains two files: address books and mailing lists for books.
December 1980 - December 1997, predominant August 1986 - September 1996
Series consists of Nouwen's financial files dating from 1980 and 1997, predominantly from 1986 -1997. Prior to 1986 Nouwen's personal accountant kept the majority of Nouwen's records and likely discarded them after the mandatory seven years retention period. The records from this time period are therefore minimal and consist primarily of financial overviews, cash books and American bank and retirement accounts and insurance files. After 1986, the records become more detailed and voluminous, including files about Nouwen's income (stipends, donations and royalties), expenses, taxes, insurance, retirement plans, credit cards and bank accounts.
Although the boxes were in no discernable order, they have been arranged in the following six sub-series by taking into account both the function of the records and the Nouwen staff member responsible for the maintenance of the majority of the records in that grouping:
1.6.1. General Files
1.6.2. Ledgers
1.6.3. Personal Accountant Files
1.6.4. Expenses Files
1.6.5. Cheque and Deposit Books
1.6.6. Donations Files
A more detailed description of each sub-series, as well as each sub-series arrangement can be found in the sub-series descriptions.
The files were created and kept by various secretaries and financial secretaries that Nouwen hired to control his complicated and extensive financial accounts. In the mid-1970s Nouwen hired Joe Sarno as his personal accountant. Sarno was responsible for Nouwen's income tax returns, American bank accounts and retirement funds until 1994 when Nouwen decided to consolidate his accounts to Daybreak. Carol Plantinga served as his financial secretary from the mid-1970s to 1986. From 1983-1985 Nouwen's assistant Peter Weiskel also worked with the financial files. At Daybreak, Connie Ellis took on the roles of both administrative assistant and financial secretary. After Ellis' became ill in 1992 Kathy Christie became Nouwen's administrative assistant and Lydia Banducci was hired as his financial secretary. Christie remained with Nouwen until his death in 1996. In 1993 Banducci was replaced by Margaret Sutton. Sutton remained in this position until 1997. In 1994 Nouwen began to consolidate all his financial and accounting information at Daybreak. Completing Nouwen's 1994 tax return was Sarno's last responsibility as his accountant. In 1996 Sutton arranged for all the records created and kept by Sarno to be transferred to Daybreak. Nouwen began transferring his accounting to account manager Alka Vijan at Canada Trust in 1994.
[1957 - 1996], predominant 1980 - 1996
Series consists of ephemera and artifacts collected by or given to Nouwen throughout his lifetime, including awards and honorary degrees, materials kept in his office and home, promotional materials, artwork, postcards, religious artifacts, and personal artifacts.
Series has been arranged in the following seven sub-series according to their function:
1.14.1. Awards and honourary degrees;
1.14.2. Contents of Nouwen's office;
1.14.3. Promotional material for lectures, workshops and special events;
1.14.4. Collected artwork;
1.14.5. Personal effects;
1.14.6. Postcards, cards and prints;
1.14.7. Religious artifacts.
Series consists of letters from readers of the Catholic New Times and from staff at other publications, and carbon copies of letters of response from the editor and other members of the collective.
Series consists of newspaper clippings and photocopies of articles, press releases, newsletters, reports, one photograph, and other materials from organizations of interest or pertaining to issues of concern to New Catholic Times members and staff.
Posthumous material regarding Sheila Watson

Bronson, M.
Literary Papers, Fiction and Non-Fiction
Part of Cecil John Eustace fonds
Legal documents and administrative records
Series consists of original and copies of legal documents, forms, and other records pertaining to the incorporation of the New Catholic Times in 1976, materials documenting the structure of the corporation and its operating policies and procedures circa 1985, and job descriptions and terms of reference for committees within the organization after 1990. Series is arranged chronologically.
Documents related to participation in the Canadian Conference of Catholic Lay Associations
The series consists of documents collected by Madeleine Seguin related to Faith and Sharing's membership in the Canadian Conference of Catholic Lay Associations. The records include reports, memos and agendas regarding meetings, bulletins and other news updates, and a copy of the Charter of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Lay Associations written in French.
Faith and Sharing Bulletins
The series consists of Faith and Sharing bulletins for the years 1977 to 2012. The bulletins generally contain a short letter of introduction by the Secretary and the Co-ordinator of the Faith and Sharing Federation, agendas for retreats and lists of participants. After 1979 the newsletters contain the minutes of meetings for the Executive Committee. The bulletin often features letters written by attendees of the retreats regarding their experiences, regional news items and copies of letters written by Jean Vanier and other members of the Faith and Sharing Federation regarding their experiences and reflections on the work of the Faith and Sharing Federation and the L'Arche communities. Also included in the series are reports of accounting balance sheets for the bulletins for the years 1997 to 2011.
Secondary resources collected by Madeleine Séguin, Secretary of the North American Committee, related to Jean Vanier
The series consists of monographs (in the form of letters) written by Jean Vanier regarding his work with L' Arche 1972-1979, correspondence regarding the financing of Faith and Sharing retreats 1972, and articles and newspaper clippings from Canadian newspapers on Jean Vanier and his work with the Faith and Sharing Federation 1972-1974.
Collected material for Biography
Series consists of material accumulated by Flahiff during the course of writing "Always Someone to Kill the Doves: A Life of Sheila Watson", published by NeWest Press, 2005.
Series consists of 4 sub-series:

Collected records from Wilfred Watson fonds
Transcriptions of selected letters from Wilfred Watson fonds
Finding Guides and Research Tools
Papers of Father John O'Connor
CA ON00389 C2-1
Part of Father John O'Connor Collection
Series consists of a collection of hand-written and typed manuscripts, poems, translations and radio transcripts created and accumulated by Monsignor John O'Connor, as well as his correspondence, collected ephemera (including news clippings, Christmas cards, posters, pamphlets, and small press publications) and research notes. The majority of the material relates to O'Connor's friendship with the author G.K. Chesterton, although O'Connor also translated Latin religious poetry and composed his own verse and wrote prose pieces on literature, Church history, morality, religion and philosophy.
[between 1952 and1974?]
Series consists of handwritten and typed manuscripts of essays on Newman, as well as various draft chapters from his PhD thesis, "The Published and Unpublished Anglican Sermons of John Henry Newman : Prolegomena to an Edition" (completed in 1974), and two copies of the final thesis.
Series consists of draft manuscripts and typescripts of more than 150 books and articles, forewords and introductions, sermons, and talks by Henri Nouwen. The date range of the materials is from 1956 to 1996. The series contains drafts of 49 of his articles and drafts of 41 books (Nouwen published over 300 articles and 39 books in his lifetime). In addition to handwritten drafts or typescripts some files may also include loose notes (usually background reading notes), galley and print proofs, administrative papers, correspondence regarding the materials, and photographs and artwork used in the process of publication.
The materials in the Series reflect Nouwen's general writing process: for the most part he hand-wrote his works on foolscap or in hard-back journals, often he created reading notes pertaining to the subject he was writing on, drafts were typed by an administrative assistant and then circulated to friends and other readers for comment. He saved all of the drafts, often incorporating the notes made by himself and other readers, in order to create one final work.
Common themes present in the drafts include: spirituality, love, God, psychology, theology, relationships, prayer, ministry, and Christian life. Nouwen often reflected on his own spiritual journey and experiences in his works in journal form. This writing was often deeply personal and it is for this reason that some of the manuscripts and drafts are restricted from use, including Man at the Watershed, A Spiritual Journey, Taken, Blessed, Broken, Given (parts of which were published in Life of the Beloved), The Inner Voice of Love, Adam, and Sabbatical Journey.
With exception of the sermons, most material has been published. Eight transcripts have been identified as unpublished, including a book on Anton T. Boisen based on Nouwen's doctoral thesis, a draft of a work about Nouwen's friend Richard Alan White, and notes for a book Nouwen began in 1991 regarding the trapeze and the spiritual life as well as some of the restricted material listed above. See file descriptions for more information on each work.
The series has been arranged into two sub-series:
Each of these sub-series has sub-sub-series, files, and items. They have been arranged chronologically.
[1960?]-1996; predominant 1971-1995
Series consists of material collected by Nouwen on topics, people, and issues of interest. Nouwen used this material for articles, books, lectures, talks, sermons, general interest, and as reference for his duties as pastor, friend, researcher, and writer. Includes journal articles, books, sound recordings, newspaper clippings, photographs, newsletters, and manuscripts. See sub-series level descriptions for more detail.
The series has been arranged in the following six sub-series:
1.12.1. Materials regarding Thomas Merton
1.12.2. Circus material (excluding unpublished manuscripts which are located in the Manuscript Series)
1.12.3. Collected articles
1.12.4. Collected audio cassettes
1.12.5. Postcards and icons
1.12.6. Materials regarding Seward Hiltner
Meeting minutes and reports
Series consists of agendas, minutes, reports (including budgets and other financial statements), proposals, and other materials prepared for meetings of committees and groups within the New Catholic Times. Series is divided into the following sub-series: 1. Membership and Board of Directors' meetings 2. Publishing Group meetings 3. Staff meetings.
History and Spirit of Faith and Sharing
1968-2002, 2010
The series consists of documents about the history and development of the Faith and Sharing Federation. This includes documents related to first retreats and the incorporation of the Faith and Sharing Federation as a registered charity. There is also material on the history and development of the regional groups. This includes correspondence from the regional delegates about the organization of annual retreats and meetings, 1972-1976, lists of attendees and representatives and newsletters detailing the activities of the regions. There is also a collection of annual reports for the period 1995 to 2002. There is also material on the organizational structure of the Faith and Sharing Federation and the North American Committee including a practical guide to the retreats and personal reflections on the Faith and Sharing movement by members of the North American Committee.
Correspondence of the North American Committee
The series consists of correspondence related to the organization of meetings of the North American Committee and the organizational structure for the North American Committee. Also includes letters of invitation to Bishops in the regions of North America to join the Committee and their replies, as well as letters on financial matters including requests for donations from the Faith and Sharing communities.
The correspondence of the North American Committee starts in 1979 and not in 1972. The North American Committee was formed in 1972 but it was not until 1978 when the Executive Committee was formed that there was visible leadership in the Faith & Sharing Federation. In the series entitled 'Correspondence of the Regional Delegates' there are documents which list the members of the North American Committee dating from 1973. However in a letter from December 1978 in the series 'Documents related to the North American Annual Meetings', there is a list of the members of the North American Committee and a plan to form the Executive Committee in order to meet the expressed need for visible leadership. This suggests that up until that date the North American Committee did not have a visible leadership. This also explains why there was a limited amount of correspondence kept by the Secretary of the North American Committee up until that date.
The correspondence from 1999 to 2001 which appears in the original list produced by Séguin is not available in the archive and may have been kept by the Faith & Sharing Federation.
Series consists of annual and monthly financial reports of Faith and Sharing (later the Faith and Sharing Federation), including statements of income and expenditure, and income tax reports.
Incoming correspondence
Series consists of Fred T. Flahiff's personal correspondence, deposited with the library due to its relevance to Flahiff's work on Sheila Watson. Includes 53 letters from Sheila Watson, 3 letters and 34 pages of poetry and 20 illustrations in ink and pastel (17 of which are photocopied) from Wilfred Watson. Also includes letters from others: one letter from B.J. Mitchell; one letter from a Mike (last name unknown), regarding an entry on Sheila Watson in the UBC yearbook "Totem" from 1931; one letter from Douglas M. Gibson, publisher at McClelland and Stewart.
Bibliography working files
1963-2002 ; predominantly 1963-1973
Part of James Feeley fonds
Series consists of research notes, index cards, correspondence and draft manuscripts of Feeley's bibliography on Marshall McLuhan. Also includes a draft paper of an article by Feeley on Plato and McLuhan.
Series consists of correspondence and other material related to the business of publishing. The files provide the researcher with detailed and comprehensive information about the genesis and publication of most of Nouwen's books, as well as biographical information about Nouwen the writer, the business man, and the man.
The series is arranged alphabetically and divided into nine sub-series based on names of the main publishers of Nouwen's books:
1.5.1. Ave Maria Press files
1.5.2. Crossroad/Continuum Publishing Group files
1.5.3. Darton, Longman and Todd Ltd. files
1.5.4. Doubleday files, Harper San Francisco files
1.5.5. Lannoo files
1.5.6. Orbis Books files
1.5.7. Verlag Herder files
1.5.8. General publisher files
With the exception of the General files, these files represent the major publishers that Nouwen worked with from 1973 to 1996. Although the files contain material on all books published up to Nouwen's death, since his first book was published in 1969, it can be presumed that some of the correspondence and documents from 1969 to 1972 are missing.
The files may include: business correspondence discussing book ideas, titles of books and other issues, including copies of outgoing letters containing Nouwen's response to all stages of publication; business documents such as draft manuscripts, revised manuscripts with annotations, responses to manuscripts by editors and other readers, draft illustrations and mock booklets for design purposes, galleys, page proofs, royalties and advance statements, original publisher/author agreements and contracts; personal correspondence between Nouwen and his editors. The files also contain outgoing correspondence by Nouwen's various assistants over the years, including Connie Ellis, Kathy Christie, Lydia Banducci, Margaret Sutton, Peter Weiskel, Joseph Sarno, Carol Plantinga, Deborah A. Hawkins and Vincent Masi.
The files relate primarily to book publication, however, they also contain material about the publication of articles and audiocassettes, video, material related to requests from publishers for endorsements, forewords and introductions to the books of other writers, and in some cases, especially in the General Publisher files sub-series, requests for permission to publish parts of Nouwen's work and translation rights to his books. Correspondence can be found from publishers in the Netherlands, the former East Germany, Belgium, England, France, Spain, Poland, Italy, South Africa, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
In all descriptions, working book titles are followed by published titles, if different.
1966 - 1985, 1994; predominant 1971 - 1981
Series consists of materials created by Nouwen for use in his capacity as a professor and instructor. These materials include notes for lectures, reading notes, class lists, handouts for students, class schedules, course evaluations, audio recordings of lectures, and records related to the administration of courses.
Series has been divided into two sub-series:
1.7.1. Course handouts, lecture, reading and students notes (1966 - 1994, predominant 1972 - 1981). This sub-series also includes 14 audio recordings of Nouwen's lectures and 357 art slides which he used in his lectures on Van Gogh.
1.7.2. Administrative records (1966 - 1994, predominant 1983-1985)
Further details can be found on the sub-series description level.
Series consists of files containing correspondence and other material related to Nouwen's day to day engagements. Nouwen received dozens of invitations each month to give lectures or talks, lead retreats, preside at religious occasions, and provide spiritual direction. Requests came from a wide range of institutions, organisations and individuals, the majority having some sort of religious affiliation. Invitations from institutions included university divinity schools, seminaries, hospital pastoral departments, churches, and Christian retreat centres. Invitations from organisations included the National Catholic AIDS Network, the Ministry of Money, and the Archdiocese of Toronto. Invitations from individuals included requests for Nouwen to preside over masses, weddings, funerals, baptisms and ordinations, and those interested in personal spiritual direction. Such requests often came from priests, ministers, pastors, and chaplains. The majority of Nouwen's engagements took place in the Northeastern United States, Southern Ontario, and Holland. However, he also attended events in Illinois, Texas, California, British Columbia, Quebec, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Ukraine. After Nouwen's move to L'Arche Daybreak in 1986, files were created to plan and document special events associated with his role as pastor. There are files regarding community meetings, community weekends, assistant workshops, visits to other L'Arche communities and meetings of the International Federation of L'Arche.
Generally, when an invitation was accepted a file was created and arranged chronologically according to the date of the event. In some cases the file contains material regarding events scheduled in the same city and in the case of 1985 material regarding an entire months schedule. However, typically the files are organised by event/engagement. In addition to the date of the event the title of the file would often include the name of a person or organisation and/or the event and/or the location of the event. A typical file consists of the initial letter of invitation describing the nature of the request, follow-up correspondence to confirm dates and other arrangements, details regarding Nouwen's role at the event, drafts of promotional material, reference material on the organization(s) involved, the event, the issue and the location, and travel documents. In some cases, the file will also contain handwritten or typed notes, copies of outgoing letters, schedules, programs, bulletins, evaluations completed by attendees, thank you letters and cards from the organiser of the events and others, newspaper clippings of the events and/or the published version of his speech or lecture. Outgoing letters only begin to be seen after 1986 and after that they are not consistent. Much of the correspondence after 1986 is further enriched by the annotations of Nouwen and his assistants Connie Ellis (1986-1992) and Kathy Christie (1992-1996) at L'Arche Daybreak. Other members of the community, including Sue Mosteller, Joe Vorstermans, Nathan Ball and Elizabeth Buckley, also contributed to the files.
The files were created between 1980 and 1996, however, the file titles themselves extend to 1998 because events were often scheduled two or more years in advance. There are no files for January 1982 to April 1985. The files from 1985 contain invitations only from March to August grouped by month. There are no files for June 1987 to May 1990. Approximately 74% of the files in the series are for June 1990 to August 1995. Their are only a small number of files for September 1995 to October 1998, this is likely because Nouwen was on sabbatical from September 1995 to September 1996. The files contain gaps and inconsistencies due to Nouwen's frequent movement between 1982 and 1986 as well as changes in Nouwen's support staff and their differing recordkeeping techniques.
This series provides an excellent overview of Nouwen's schedule of events and specific information regarding his participation at those events. Noteworthy are the handwritten and typed notes used for speaking engagements (some are unpublished) as well as copies of outgoing letters written by Nouwen.

Absa PMI
The Absa Purchasing Managers' Index™ (PMI™) compiled by the Bureau for Economic Research (BER) and sponsored by Absa, is based on the widely used and highly regarded Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) produced by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) in the USA.
The headline PMI is calculated as the weighted average of the following indices (weights in parentheses): Business Activity (0.20), New Orders (0.20), Employment (0.20), Supplier Deliveries (0.20) and Inventories (0.20). Note that the inverse of the Supplier Deliveries index is used in the PMI calculation.
The survey from which the indices are compiled require the respondents to indicate each month, whether a particular activity (e.g. production) for their company has increased, decreased or remained unchanged. The indices are then calculated by taking the percentage of respondents that reported an increase and adding it to one-half of the percentage that reported no change. This results in an index for which a value of 50 indicates no change in the activity, a value above 50 indicates increased activity and a value below 50 indicates decreased activity.

Somos Tiernos is a large steel sculpture (5,6 x 7,4 m), which takes the form of a billboard in which we can read both "Somos Tiernos" (We are Tender) and "Eternos » (Eternal). Unlike conventional billboard, it is not printed, but the texts are perforated on the metal that serve as a support for it, while allowing the text to breathe and see the landscape around, in the specific case of this installation : the mountains of Bogota on one side and the city on the other one. The slowly oxidized steel accumulates in texture and gives more and more an air of ruin.
The purpose of this installation is to call out to those who cross the Carrera Séptima, probably the most emblematic street of the city, which connects the historical center, the north and the south. Call them to mind with this politico-affective slogan. A frank statement that runs into an aggressive and polarizing language that balances the country between the desire for peace, fear and sadly for some, the desire for war to continue. For a few months now, as the front room of this project, I have anonymously ran an urban poster campaign by seven cities in the country, with this statement : "Somos Tiernos", and I began to see various reactions. Many adhere to the idea, for some it is more a desire for hope and others leave the question open. The installation works as well as an anchor, as a magnetic element that will focus the attention of those who are already beginning to familiarize themselves with the message.

The Suspension of Habeas Corpus in America
November 20, 2012 Rich Winkel	1 Comment
Far from having broken with his Republican predecessor, Democratic President Barack Obama has now reinforced the law of exception that he criticised when he was a senator. It is now possible to deprive United States citizens of their fundamental rights because they have taken part in armed action against their own country, but also when they take a political position favourable to those who use military action to resist the Empire. Worse – Barack Obama has added to the law John Yoo's "Unitary Executive theory," which puts an end to the principles of the separation of powers as defined by Montesquieu. The security policy of the United States President now escapes all control.
The Presidential elections, and the game of a possible changeover between Democrats and Republicans, cannot hide a marked tendency towards mutation in the form of the United States executive, regardless of the colour of the Presidential ticket. And it seems that the most significant change in the law has taken place under President Obama.
Barack Obama was elected by evoking a future based on respect for the fundamental rights of individuals and nations. But assessment of his presidency reveals an entirely different picture. The visible aspects of this, such as the failure to close down Guantánamo Bay, the maintenance of exceptional military tribunals or the practice of torture in Afghanistan, are only the tip of the iceberg. These elements only allow us to note the continuity between the Bush and Obama administrations. However, there has been such reinforcement of the previous political structure that the form of the state has now changed, creating a hitherto unseen modification of the relation between the authorities and the citizens of the United States.
The possibility of treating US citizens as foreign 'terrorists' has been a constant objective of the government executive since the attacks of 9/11. By the new prerogative which has been awarded him by the National Defense Authorization Act – that of being able to nullify Habeas Corpus for US citizens and not just for foreign nationals – the Obama administration has achieved what the previous government had only planned but never instituted. …

Failing to Break Up the Big Banks is Destroying America
November 20, 2012 Rich Winkel	Leave a comment
The Size of the Big Banks Is – Literally – Destroying the Rule of Law
Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind quotes Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner as saying:
The confidence in the system is so fragile still… a disclosure of a fraud… could result in a run, just like Lehman.
In other words, Geitnher said that the big bankers are "too big to jail", because disclosing any portion of their massive fraud would cause bank runs.
Former IMF economist Simon Johnson notes:
The main motivation behind the administration's indulgence of serious criminality evidently is fear of the consequences of taking tough action on individual bankers.
The message to bank executives today is simple: build your bank to be as big as possible – and then keep growing. If you manage to become big enough, you and your employees are not just too big to fail, but also too big to jail.
Glenn Greenwald notes:
To justify this lack of accountability for the nation's wealthiest lawbreakers, the all-too-familiar excuses long used to shield the politically powerful are trotted out on cue. Once again, we are told that prosecutions are too disruptive; that it's more important to fix the system than to seek retribution for the past; that because the wrongdoers' reputation is in tatters, they have already suffered enough; that we need the goodwill of financial titans to ensure our common prosperity; and so on.
Indeed, the Obama administration has made it official policynot to prosecute fraud. …

Spanish Cops: "Forgive Us For Not Arresting Those Truly Responsible For This Crisis: Bankers & Politicians"
Around 5,000 Spanish police officers marched through the streets of Madrid on Saturday to protest government austerity measures, including frozen pensions and the elimination of their Christmas bonuses.
Officers travelled from across Spain to take part in the demonstration which was called by the nation's main policing union.
Protesters blew whistles, shouted slogans, and carried anti-austerity banners as they marched through the city centre to the interior ministry.
"Citizens! Forgive us for not arresting those truly responsible for this crisis: bankers and politicians," read one banner.
The Spanish government has imposed harsh spending cuts aimed at saving 150 billion euros between 2012 and 2014. The move has been met with anger and protests from hundreds of thousands of Spanish citizens.
The austerity measures are in exchange for a rescue loan of up to 100 billion euros from the EU to help the country's stricken banks.
"The problem is they take from us to give to others, like the autonomous regions and the banks," 33-year-old police officer Antonio Perez told AP.

But it's not just their pay the police are worried about.
A spokesman for Spain's Unified Police Union, Jose Maria Benito, said the cuts will affect the nation's security, adding that working conditions have become more precarious and law enforcement equipment was no longer up to standard.
"We are here to tell the government that security has to be its priority…in socially convulsive times, we need an adequate police response," Benito told AP. He added that 15,000 workers who have left the force were not going to be replaced. …

U.S. begins talks on long-term troop presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014
Afghanistan and the US have opened talks to keep American troops in the country after most Nato forces go home in 2014, but the thorny question of immunity for American soldiers, which in effect ended the US role in Iraq last year, is likely to prove a stumbling block.
The issue has been thrown into sharp relief by the Seattle trial of the US army staff sergeant Robert Bales, who is accused of the massacring 16 Afghan civilians, mostly women and children, during a shooting spree at their homes in March. US prosecutors are seeking the death penalty but many Afghans, including some of the victims' relatives, want to see him brought before one of their own courts. …

Yesterday I was lucky enough to get invited out ice fishing for stocked specks, with an airplane! A seriously cool adventure! We flew into a stocked lake, and within an hour and a half had two limites of perfect fan fryer stocked specs on the ice. Having finished so soon, we decided to hop over to a lake trout lake. We missed a couple fish, hung out there for about an hour, and then took a scenic flight home. What a way to get around!!


A group meets on the third Wednesday of each month in a private home in Decatur, Georgia, for Dharma teaching and meditation practice. The teachings are drawn from the Theravada Buddhist lineage. Participants need not attend every session; the group is open in its structure. The Dharma is taught as a gift, and participants may make a monetary gift in response. Contact me for the address.
Group retreats and quiet days focus on spiritual practice and renewal. They last from a half-day to several days and include talks by the teacher, instructions on how to practice, silent reflection, and sometimes one-on-one or group discussion. Sample topics include Kindness and Compassion, Basics of Meditation, Foundations of Mindfulness, Desert Fathers and Mothers, and Francis and Clare, and Prayer as Inquiry.
If you would like to arrange a retreat or quiet day for your group, please contact me.
Consider taking your group on a day hike, backpacking trip, or camping trip to combine the good vibes of the woods with intentional spiritual renewal and refreshment. Difficulty and format is tailored to your group. I have led dozens of trips, from short local day hikes to week-long backcountry expeditions.
Spiritual Direction Groups meet on an ongoing basis or for a fixed period of time. Through sharing silence, prayer, and reflection, the group learns to listen for the movement of the Holy Spirit in one another's lives and voices. Meetings can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
If you would like to form a spiritual direction group, please contact me.

DENVER – Nearly five months after the Lower North Fork Fire destroyed two dozen homes and killed three people, survivors are venting their frustrurations over the long and arduous recovery.
The Lower North Fork Fire burned 4,000 acres after investigators say embers from a nearby prescribed burn grew out of control, threatening homes.
"I know you have many questions…we will listen but we cannot answer those questions," said a state lawmaker to a crowded room of fire survivors. Following Monday's meeting many reported feeling unsatisfied with the state's efforts to compensate victims for the blaze.
"This was started by a group that you and I pay taxes to for their salary," said Sharon Scanlan, a Jefferson County resident who lost her home in March.
Several lawsuits are already pending against the state of Colorado for damages caused by the fire.
"This was an activity sanctioned by the state, prescribed by the state and there should be some responsibility by the state," Governor John Hickenlooper said.
While Eckel's home is still standing, his neighborhood is gone. He worries that survivors will be forgotten.
"We just don't want to be brushed off and put into the oblivion of time," Eckel said.
Survivors are expected to meet with state lawmakers again in late August.

The Queen Is Dead
THE SMITHS Released Highly Praised 'THE QUEEN IS DEAD' Album 35 Years Ago Today
Band: THE SMITHS (Manchester)
Active: 1982–1987 / 4 studio albums
Album: THE QUEEN IS DEAD – 4th LP
Released: 16 June 1986 – 35 years ago today
AllMusic/Stephen Thomas Erlewine: "'Meat Is Murder' may have been a holding pattern, but The Queen Is Dead is the Smiths' great leap forward, taking the band to new musical and lyrical heights. Opening with the storming title track, The Queen Is Dead is a harder-rocking record than anything the Smiths had attempted before, but that's only on a relative scale — although the backbeat is more pronounced, the group certainly doesn't rock in a conventional sense… The rich musical bed provides Morrissey with the support for his finest set of lyrics. Shattering the myth that he is a self-pitying sap, Morrissey delivers a devastating set of clever, witty satires of British social mores, intellectualism, class, and even himself."
Full review here. Score: 5/5.
Turn Up The Volume: I'm a Johnny Marr fan. Unique fabricator of sticky melodies and a great personality. I never was a big fan of Morrissey's moaning voice and I'm definitely not a fan of his nationalistic quotes/thoughts/bullshit but regarding the album, I can't but say that this was their best one.

Yes, that is the back of Glen Coco's head
The real-life Glen Coco remembers his time on Mean Girls
Actor David Reale sneaked onto set for a free lunch and became part of teen movie history
You might not know David Reale's face, but you know Glen Coco from Mean Girls. As the anonymous high schooler who gets four (FOUR!!) candy cane grams from the kid dressed as Santa Claus, Glen Coco represents one of the most iconic lines of the film. It's become a stand-in for positive affirmation; the "you go girl!" one-liner of noughties teen cinema and went on to spawn a million memes. Reale, who's still acting and has appeared in Suits, Queer as Folk and Skins, remembers his time on set as the world celebrates ten years of Mean Girls this week.
I actually auditioned for a different part in the movie. I didn't get it. I wasn't "officially" cast in the film at all - my first day was my only day. I just spent it trying not to look guilty while I ate all the free food.
What happened was, they ended up filming a lot of the school stuff right across the park from my apartment in Toronto. One day I sort of wandered onto set to see if I could watch some scenes being shot and maybe get some free food (I was 19-year-old actor with no money so eating was daily mission).

I sort of hung around with the background performers and ended up getting lunch because everybody just assumed I was actually hired to be there. At one point the director recognised me from my audition and, as a consolation prize, said something like "Hey, I'm going to put you right in the front on this next scene and you'll have a name and everything".
Tina Fey wrote the line, Daniel Franzese spoke the line... I just sat in a chair and tried not to stare at Lindsay Lohan. But I guess it was the first time somebody pointed to me on the street and shouted "YOU GO GLEN COCO!" that I knew I was involved in something with a beauty and power that surpassed the mere proliferation of four candy canes to an accidental movie extra.
David Reale todayvia fuckyeahglencoco.tumblr.com
So that's how it happened. But I was never "officially" hired. I never signed anything and so I was never paid. But the free lunch was great.
I don't even know how the internet made the connection that it was me. You don't even see my face in the scene! People are really great about it. Glen Coco brings out the best in people. I get all these motivational pep talks all the time. Almost every day in real life or on twitter I get people telling me "You go!" or "Four for you!" or "Live every day like you're Glen Coco!" It's always positive.
If a hungry teenager can wander in off the street, get a free meal, sit in a chair, say nothing, and become part of an internet sensation that has people from all over the world saying nice things to him on a daily basis then anything is possible. Four for you...four for all of you. YOU GO!

Temora is 325 km. west of Sydney, 90 km. north of Wagga Wagga and in the north-east of the Riverina district.
Temora was the name of an early pastoral property, and was derived from an Aboriginal word of uncertain meaning or from a Scottish Gaelic tern meaning an eminence with an extensive view. The Temora pastoral station was gazetted in 1849, occupying 200,000 acres.
Unpayable quantities of gold were found on the Temora station in 1869, and the discovery of payable gold did not occur until 1880. A small village formed by April, 1880. By the middle of 1880 there were 20,000 people in the Temora district and the town site was surveyed. The next few years saw the winning of gold (alluvial and reef) and prolonged drought. By 1885 Temora had a hospital and three churches. In 1888 most of the Temora station was subdivided for small-farm settlement. Three years later the Temora town council was created and the railway reached Temora in 1897. A well-established Temora was described in The Australian Handbook, 1904, as –
In 1912 the town electricity supply was established and an agricultural research station opened. It concentrated on pasture, wheat and oat growing and sheep research. On the eve of the first world war the Star Theatre was opened and in 1925-6 the Literary Institute and School of Arts were opened. The benefits of the Burrinjuck Dam on the Murrumbidgee River, 120 km. to the east came in 1930 with the supply of hydro electricity and in 1935 with a town water supply. The swimming pool was opened in the same year, and a sewerage scheme built four years later.
Temora, with a municipal area of 21 sq. km. was described in the 1949 edition of The Australian Blue Book as –
In 1952 the Temora High School was opened and in 1971 a large pre-school premises was built. A reduction in secondary industry (the cordial factory closed in 1979) was partially relieved by tourism and the town's historical society embarking on a rural museum in 1979. An extensive group of buildings was acquired, including Sir Donald Bradman's original home. The township also contains several substantial buildings, a notable one being the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
In 1969, on the property of harness-racing horse breeder, Colin Pike, a colt named Paleface Adios was born. The horse became the Pharlap of harness racing over an eight year career that ended in 1980. Temora has a memorial to "The Temora Tornado, Paleface Adios." In 1981 the councils of Temora (town) and the surrounding Narraburra shire were united to from the Temora shire of 3,752 sq. km. The district's gold mining past was revived when the Paragon open-cut gold mine was begun in 1987, about 12 km. north of Temora at Gidginbung. Temora has seven hotels and one hotel/motel. In 1994 the Temora shire had 120,494 ha. under pasture, 34,683 ha. growing wheat and 574,000 sheep and lambs.
Temora's census populations have been 2,784 (1911), 3,823 (1931), 4,446 (1971) and 6,200 (1991 – enlarged shire). The town's 1991 population was 4,279.

Leeton
Leeton is a town and a shire in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. It is 12 km. north of the Murrumbidgee River, 100 km. north-west of Wagga Wagga and 430 km. west of Sydney.
The town is relatively recent. In the early 1900s Hugh McKinney, an engineer with experience of irrigation works in the Indian Punjab, noted the similarity of the Riverina – Murrumbidgee plains to the Indian topography. In association with local pastoralists McKinney's observation developed into an irrigation plan beginning with the Burrinjuck Dam (1906), on the Murrumbidgee River, south-west of Leeton.
The scheme was greatly assisted by Sir Samuel McCaughy, local pastoralist and member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, who had carried out irrigation works. He was the owner of North Yanco, the site of the future Leeton.
The Murrimbidgee Irrigation Areas Trust erected buildings at North Yanco in 1911. In 1912 the place was named Leeton after Charles Lee, Minister for public Works and a member of the Trust. The following year the Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission (successor to the Trust) added further buildings, including a School of Arts, as more workmen were engaged forirrigation works. It also commissioned Walter Burley Griffin to design thetown. Over 140 town allotments were sold on 2 April, 1913. Schools and churches were established from 1913 onwards, a hospital was completed in 1919, anda railway connection to the Narrandera line made in 1922. The commission established and operated numerous secondary undertakings including a stock sale yards, abattoirs, butter and bacon factories, a power house and canneries. Leeton was also noted for Co-operatives, including dairy farmers (1921),fruit growers (1932), cannery (1935), stock treatment (1937), poultry farmers(1943) and rice growers (1950).
Local government was vested in the Commission until 1921 when an Executive Board was appointed to assist. In 1928 the Willimbong shire was created,with Leeton as the administrative centre. The population of Leeton in 1933 was 3,629.
In 1949 The Australian Blue Book described Willimbong Shire (473 sq.km.) as –
By 1949 a substantial change had occurred in the social background of farmers. In 1924 61% of horticultural holdings in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area had been occupied by soldier settlers and 1% by Italians. In 1949 the figures were 18% and 32% respectively, and in 1972 Italians occupied 75%of holdings. The figure was lower in the Leeton (Yanco) area – 50% – but still a significant presence in the community.
Notwithstanding Leeton's recent past, it has several buildings of note. The Historic Hydro, originally built for the Water Commission, is a motor inn and reception venue. There are 21 listed Art Deco buildings, including the Roxy Theatre. Leeton is the location of several educational services, including agricultural schools, a TAFE and the St. Francis De Sales Regional College. Sir Samuel McCaughy's mansion is part of the Yanco Agricultural High School.
In 1993-4 crops in the Leeton Shire (1,132 sq. km.) comprised 11,562ha. of rice, 5,196 ha. of wheat, 2,330 ha. of orchards, 659 ha. vegetables and 474 ha. of vineyards. There were 142,000 sheep and lambs (mainly for meat) and 37,000 beef cattle. Manufacturing locations numbered 21, with a turnover of $373 million in 1991-2.
The census populations of Leeton have been –
Town/locality: 2,793 (1933), 5,148 (1954) and 6,245 (1991).
Shire: 8,992 (1947), 11,359 (1971) and 10,795 (1991).

Yass, a town and a shire, is 294 km. south-west of Sydney and 75 km. west of Goulburn. It is on the Yass River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee.
The Yass Plains were discovered in 1821 by a party which included Hamilton Hume. The name is thought to be derived from an Aboriginal word, yahr, meaning running water. Hume is buried in the Yass cemetery.
The plains were an attraction to settlers in the 1820s. Settlement of the Yass area was sufficient to warrant the establishment of a post office at Yass in 1835. A court of petty sessions was established there the following year and in 1837 the site for the Yass township was gazetted. The Yass district council was proclaimed on 14 August, 1843, and in 1848 the township had 55 houses and 274 people.
The district council was ineffectual, and the Yass municipality was proclaimed on 12 March, 1873. (Its boundaries extended some way into the surrounding farmlands, and in 1935 they were reduced to the township area.)
Sheep grazing and stud breeding provided the economic mainstay for Yass. The Ravensworth stud was founded in 1865, and was one of several which became famous for fine merino wool. The railway to Yass Junction, 5 km. out of Yass, was opened in 1877. It was a railhead for wheat and soft fruits aswell as wool by the 1880s. In 1878 the foundation stone for the Yass PublicSchool was laid and two years later a new court house was opened. It ison the Register of the National Estate. Several other grand government andbank buildings were built in the 1880s. A tramway connected Yass to YassJunction in 1892, the same time that the municipal gas supply was turnedon (The tramway closed in 1958.) In 1904 The Australian Handbook describedYass as –
Shortly before the first world war the Burrinjuck Dam was constructedon the headwaters of the Murrumbidgee, about 30 km. south-west of Yass.It provided electric power to Yass. Like most rural towns the depressionand the second world war slowed development, but Yass was well positionedin the post war period to take advantage of the strong market for wool. In 1949 The Australian Blue Book commented that –
Between 1946 and 1949 the Yass Council was in dispute with its itself and its town clerk but the local economy prospered with the sale of fine wool. Tourism was promoted with tourist roads, and the town underwent tree planting. The 1950s saw the construction of an Olympic swimming pool and a new high school. In 1966 the prime tourist attraction of Yass, Cooma Cottage,was purchased by the National Trust. The "cottage", of 22 rooms,had been built in 1831 and lived in by Hamilton Hume for 33 years until1873. Tourism was augmented by recreational facilities on the Burrinjuck Dam.
On 1 January, 1980, the Yass municipality of 29 sq. km. was united withthe Goodradigbee shire and the new unit named Yass shire. Its area is 2987sq. km. The town has few manufacturing establishments, but accommodationestablishments had 700 beds in 1994. The pastoral hinterland of the shiregrazed 873,000 sheep and lambs, and 41,000 cattle.
Census populations have been 2,136 (1911), 3,662 (1954) and 8,780 (1991- enlarged municipality).

This is an investigation into the interaction of power, money and people in Russia during the presidencies of Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev.
Profiling Putin's team, including his security services and pro-market economic 'reformers', Simon Pirani argues that the growth during the oil boom was one-sided. The gap between rich and poor widened. Now the boom is over, this problem has only grown.
As well as explaining Russia's economic trajectory, the book provides a unique account of the social movements that are working against an increasingly authoritarian government to change Russia for the better.
Simon Pirani is Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, and has written widely on Soviet history and energy issues. His books include Burning Up: A Global History of Fossil Fuel Consumption (Pluto, 2018), The Russian Revolution in Retreat (Routledge, 2008) and Change in Putin's Russiao, 2009).

Fiona's Stage Dream: Music alumna sang her way to Miss Saigon
Music alumna sang her way to Miss Saigon in New York, and became the first Chinese who lands the title role.
When a 13-year-old Fiona Hui wanted to pave her way into the music industry, she signed up for each and every singing contest that she had watched on television. 'I had a passion for singing from a very young age, and thought the only way to get myself into the business was to become a Canto-pop singer.'
If she had won the competitions and shot to local stardom, she might have never plunged into the world of American musicals and garnered international acclaim as the first Chinese who starred in the lead role of Kim in Miss Saigon.
Fourteen years ago when Fiona was studying voice in the Department of Music of CUHK, Miss Saigon came to Hong Kong. The music student was among the audience and mesmerized by the epic story of love and sacrifice set towards the end of the Vietnam War. 'I said to myself that I wish I could play the show's heroine. At that point I found my new calling.'
One year later, the fresh graduate got on a plane and moved halfway around the world to chase her dream in New York University. But the reality of the situation began to hit her the first day of school.
The newcomer told the voice faculty that she intended to shift to musicals, but her strong accent raised a few eyebrows. The Hong Kong native was deemed incapable of handling English musicals, and was advised to stay with classical voice.
For a less fanatical dreamer, that would probably be the end of it. But instead of giving up, Fiona resolved to eliminate the undesirable accent so as to speak and sing like native English speakers.
'I sang with a wine bottle cork between my teeth, and read aloud from newspapers to exercise my facial muscles. I practised hard and one day when I removed the cork, I found my articulation improved and English pronunciation much clearer.'
She kept going to audition for musicals on and off campus. 'I don't mind being part of the ensemble and singing in the chorus. I took offers regardless of the wage.'
That attitude served her right through the postgraduate years when she 'never had more than 100 dollars in my bank account'. In 2005 when Fiona secured her master's degree, Miss Saigon was on national US tour. She jumped at the chance, went to audition, and secured an ensemble role in her dream play.
2006 was an eventful year to the persistent dreamer. The Ridge Chorale in New York was casting new faces for a new production of Miss Saigon. Fiona tried out for the title role, and won it. 'The interview works out well for me. Since I had been one of the ensembles in a Massachusetts production for a few months, I was familiar with all the staging, songs, and lines. The director also thought my look and voice were suitable for playing Kim the Vietnamese girl.
'I was over the moon to see my dream finally come true, but also felt a lot of pressure. I can sing all right, but have to spend many more hours than my fellow actors and actresses to practise my lines and drop the accent.'
In the same year, Disneyland Hong Kong went to New York to look for performers and vocalists for the musical productions at the new theme park. The panel were pleasantly amazed when Fiona showed up as a seasoned musical singer who spoke Cantonese only too well.
She accepted the munificent compensation package, and returned to Hong Kong to assume the roles of principal vocalist and MC in the show Golden Mickeys produced by Hong Kong Disney Theatre.
After sharing the Disney stage with artists from around the globe for one and a half years, Fiona boarded the flight back to the US. This time, she was cast to portray Kim again in Minnesota.
Paul Hustoles, director of the Minnesotan revival of Miss Saigon, commented on the Asian gem in an interview in 2008: 'We had been rehearsing a couple of weeks. Fiona came in and within two nights, she was up and running and performing beautiful work for us. She is an inspiration not only because of her voice but because of her acting.'
Afterwards, she began to put down her roots back in the Big Apple. Today, she runs her own music studio in New York to coach the new generations of dream chasers.
Fiona, who returned to town to perform for a gala concert by Lee Woo Sing College last month, insists there's no way she would be pursuing her dream without the love and support from her alma mater. She credits the Department of Music with giving her the most solid foundation which is 'up to any international standard', and the Alumni Association of Greater New York with walking her through the most trying years in a foreign country.
She understands the challenges of treading a musical path, but she has encouraging words for the young: 'Success is never coincidental. Behind every accomplished artist are decades of hard work and perseverance. As long as you keep working and working at it, you can make your dream come true, at least certain parts of it.'
