Just as Israel's Independence Day and the Palestinian Nakba Day (in remembrance of deportation and dispossession) have a bloody symbiosis, Australia Day or Invasion Day, on the 26th January, is celebrated or mourned according to the victors or the vanquished.
Both Israeli and British colonists took the 'terra nullius' doctrine – empty land' approach to justify their brutal occupations and wholesale land theft of Palestine and Australia. Israel boasts it made the desert bloom though for centuries Palestine traded in olives, oil, quinces, pinenuts, figs, carob, cotton, dates, indigo, artichokes, citrus fruit, almonds, mint sumach and much more. In Australia the Aborigines maintained their food supply with a sophisticated management of the land with fire.
The island, named Australia by British invaders and colonists, was home to almost a million peoples of, at least, 200 nations that traced their ancestry back 60 millennia along spiritual songlines of the land to the Dreaming – to Creation.
The imperial genocidal wars and massacres (guns vs spears) such as those at Hawksbury, Nepean Richmond Hill, Risdon Cove, Appin, Bathurst, Port Phillip, Swan River (Battle of Pinjarra), Gravesend, Vinegar Hill, Myall Creek, Kinroy, Rufus R, Long lagoon, Dawson River, Kalkadoon, Cape Grim, The Black war, McKinley River, West Kimberely resisted by Aboriginal warriors like Pemulwuy, Winradyne, Multuggerah, Yagan, Jandamarra as well as starvation and western diseases decimated the dispossessed Aboriginal population to about 70,000 by 1920.
By then violent genocide was replaced by the more covert cultural genocide, or the genocide of indigeneity, through the government policy of assimilation intended to eradicate indigenous identity by cruelly and systematically destroying connections to family, the tribe and ancestral lands.
Australia's First Peoples were marginalised onto reservations and missions, restricted entry into white towns, exploited as unpaid slave labour, their indigenous languages and sacred rituals forbidden, and mixed blood children (The Stolen Generations) were forcibly kidnapped from their parents for resocialisation – ie to be made 'white'.
Assimilation is where Australia, USA and Canada differ with Israel. The assimilation of Palestinians for Israel is an anathema. The Zionist goal is a pure Jewish state, rid of all Palestinians from the river to the sea. The whole of historic Palestine, home to the Chosen People is a goal pursued with, ironically, an ideological fervour akin to Hitler's Herrenrasse and Germanisation aspirations. Ergo, Israel perpetrates a slow motion brutal genocide and a relentless push of Palestinians over the exile cliff.
Sound familiar? Israel's apartheid policies similarly impact on Palestinians. Israel has passed racist laws that impose severe movement restrictions dividing families, preventing family reunification and obstructing the marriage of couples who come from different zones. At least a third of Gazans have relatives in Israel and the West Bank. The personal pain of such enforced separations which deny Palestinians the shared and cherished moments we enjoy freely is immeasurable…grandparents have never seen their grandchildren who may live 5 kilometres away… adult children are denied the right to be with a dying parent…births…weddings…funerals ..are overshadowed by painful absences.
The Native Title Act, 1993, finally acknowledged that some Indigenous Australians 'have rights and interests to their land that come from their traditional laws and customs.' But, as mining boomed on resource rich indigenous lands, corporate colonialism reared its greedy head undermining this landmark act with the Northern Territory Intervention.
It was initiated by the Howard government in 2007 and maintained by successive governments including that of Kevin Rudd who made the historic apology to the Stolen Generations even though indigenous communities were suffering the humiliation of quarantined welfare payments and struggled to survive in third world conditions.
As the Prawer Plan was debated in the Israeli Knesset, the sound of the Australian government salivating with envy must have been deafening while imagining the power to evict, from their ancestral lands, 40,000 pesky Bedouins hindering Israel's land expansion or the power to simply bulldoze Palestinian villages to build settlements for Zionist colonists.
Not a good look coming from the FM of a nation privileged to have a seat on the UN Security Council, when even the gardener at Parliament House has heard of the Geneva Conventions.
Like its mate, the rogue state of Israel, Australia doesn't give a toss for honouring its obligations under international law.
It tossed aside its obligations to the Refugee Conventions with its inhumane offshore asylum seeker policy, forcing asylum seeker boats back to Indonesia, refusal to compensate people who have been held for prolonged periods in mandatory detention, 'breached its international anti-race discrimination obligations by continuing for almost three years it's intervention policies with indigenous communities of the Northern Territory.' the high instance of Aboriginal deaths in custody, the breaching of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in the matter of Guantanamo inmate, David Hicks, the unresolved allegations that Australian intelligence officers were complicit in the torture of Mamdouh Habib when he was held in Pakistan Egypt and Guantanamo Bay, the Queensland bikie laws that fail to meet international fair trial standards.
Then there is the present case in the International Court of Justice against Australia spying on Timor Leste during the oil and gas treaty negotiations in an alleged attempt to rip off the poorest nation in Asia.
Colonial terrorism, disguised as civilised democracy, is not only perpetrated by the hollow men and women in authority. They are the monsters for whom you and I vote and without us they are powerless.Until our moral conscience, intelligence and compassion determines how we vote, we too are their accomplices.

Series: The Doris Diaries, Book 1
Publisher: IndieVisible Ink
Length: Memoir
ASIN: B009315E2Q
It is July of 1925 when fifteen-year-old Doris Bailey decides to keep a diary -- a place where she can openly confide her dreams, hopes, and ambitions. Doris is flirtatious, untamed, and romantic. These true diaries of a Roaring Twenties teen will charm you and open the world of 1920s Portland, Oregon, from a young girl's view.
It is July of 1925 when, on a whim, fifteen-year-old Doris Bailey decides to keep a diary-a place where she can openly confide her dreams, hopes, and ambitions. Doris is flirtatious, untamed, and romantic, imagining herself in and out of love with each passing day. In this first volume of Th e Doris Diaries, her great-niece, Julia Park Tracey, shares Doris's journals capturing a year in the life of a precocious teenager in the rapidly changing world of the mid-1920s. Doris chats on the telephone and dances to records on the Victrola. Not only does she flirt, kiss, and ride in cars with boys, but she also sneaks out, cuts school, and chops off her hair. While Doris constantly pushes the boundaries of acceptable behavior for a young girl, she retells juicy gossip from St. Helen's Hall, a military academy dance, and an Oregon dude ranch-sharing an unforgettable glimpse into a treasure trove of authentic American life in the Northwest. I've Got Some Lovin' to Do, with commentary, footnotes, and photographs, presents an entertaining portrayal of an American girl brimming with curiosity, a zest for life, and a hunger to experience love for the first time.
"As fresh and crisp as they were when Doris wrote them, these delicious diaries provide a colorful portrait of the Jazz Age through the eyes of a teenager. I couldn't help but think of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Doris would have fit right in with Gatsby himself."
— Jonah Raskin, book critic, San Francisco Chronicle, author
"History is about stories and this book has plenty of them. The Doris Diaries is part history, part personal journey of a young woman finding herself in the mid-1920s. The book captures everyday-living in Portland with a personal perspective that's both fascinating and illuminating."
–John Chilson, historian, Lost Oregon (lostoregon.com)

"Tonality" — What Is It Made Of?
Each sculpture was made from mesh wire to provide the structural foundation for a Mobius strip. Afterward, strips of rice paper were carefully applied with rice glue (papier-mâché). The wire allows the Mobius strip to retain its shape, and the papier-mâché reinforces its stability. Seals were stamped on small pieces of paper and applied to of the surface of the strip. The seals' meanings revolve around how we communicate and relate to one another as human beings. While the wire keeps the sculpture's form, it also offers the appearance of a grid system, which not only adds visual complexity but also refers to practicing papers for young leaners of Japanese and Chinese characters. There is no better way to explain the installation than to see it in person. None of the pictures included will provide a true understanding of what's being observed.
Nishiki moved to Dallas about six months ago to take a position as a painting professor at Southern Methodist University, where she focuses on her research and painting. She admits: "I experience and participate in highly intellectual discourse regarding art and other fields of study daily. I am fortunate to be in this environment, and I am excited for it to continue to be part of my daily activities." This summer, Sugawara-Beda is planning a research trip to Nara, Japan to study Sumi-ink, including how it's made and the culture around the workshops and their users.
Execute Project is excited to have Nishiki's work on display. She is a crucial addition to the Dallas art scene, and we are delighted to see her sculpture and painting process. Nishiki's work can be viewed in the gallery until May 1st, 2019. Her work is also available on Artsy, a platform for artists and galleries.
Execute Project is an active voice in the contemporary art world!
Execute Project, established in 2019 with a physical space located in Dallas, Texas, is a contemporary art gallery and facility space for Execute Magazine. The gallery will feature four exhibitions a year, as well as pop-up exhibits in various locations. Execute Project focuses on emerging and middle-career artists with ambitious plans to showcase their work at art fairs and events. Execute Project co-exists with Execute Magazine, which was established to promote young and established artists.

Criteria for Producing #4: Investor Interest
As I select my first commercial project, I have created a check list of four vital criteria:
(1) Commercial Appeal
(2) Operating Costs
(3) Artistic Merit
(4) Investor Interest
Each day this week, I will cover one topic and, using well known examples, explain how my thought process would work in evaluating a property.
Investor Interest:
Not every show is for every investor. A good producer is able to match his projects with the interests of his investors. Investors, just like producers, have different tastes and favorite genres, playwrights, composers, directors, and styles. Investors also have different motivations for backing shows. While some may believe in the message of the play, others may be excited about joining the star backstage or at an opening night party. Some invest for bragging rights during cocktail conversations while others use it as an opportunity to support their arts.
A good producer will ask his investors what kind of plays and musicals they like and try to better understand their motivations. While a producer is more than welcome to present every project to investors, it shows great courtesy and preparedness to only bring those projects forward that match the investors' interests.
Example: HAIR
Folklore says that Diane Paulus' fantastic revival of Hair was having a hard time capitalizing during the period between its summer run in the Park and its Broadway opening. The musical ultimately made it to Broadway when producers tapped into a very generous of segmentation of former hippies who felt guilty about abandoning their "Flower Child" ways for cold corporate cash. Funding this project was a means for this now wealthy demographic to reconnect with their lost youth and ideologies.
Criteria for Producing #3: Artistic Merit
Artistic Merit:
It is so important to produce and/or invest in works that you love and can be proud of. To produce is to balance the business with the creative. Well-known producer David Stone (Next to Normal, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Wicked) said, "Every time I thought I knew how to create a hit, I failed. But every time I produced out of love, I had a hit."
When evaluating a work for its artistic merit, I often look at a few specific areas:
1. Material and Creators: Good composers/lyricists/playwrights more often than not write good plays and musicals. The best theater starts with great texts. Some of my favorites include: Christopher Durang, George and Ira Gershwin, John Guare, Kaufman and Hart, Tracy Letts, Eugene O'Neill, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, William Saroyan, Tennessee Williams, etc.
2. Directors and Creative Teams: Good material will be elevated by a strong director and his or her creative team. Whether a traditional revival or new, innovative premiere, the best creative teams interpret works in intelligent, exciting, and insightful ways. How a story is told is as important as what story is being told. Some of the best working in the theater today include: Nicholas Hytner, Kathleen Marshall, Diane Paulus, Bartlett Sher, Susan Stroman, Daniel Sullivan, Michael Wilson, etc.
3. Actors: As the famous saying goes "90% of directing is in casting and the remaining 10% is fixing your casting mistakes."
When all three of these elements come together, you have a show to be proud of and one that both critics and audiences will hopefully want to see.
Criteria for Producing #2: Operating Costs
Each day this week, I will cover one topic and, using a well known example, explain how my thought process would work in evaluating a property.
Operating Costs:
When a producer tells you that a play has a $3 million capitalization or a musical has a $10 million capitalization, what he or she is essentially telling you is that this is the amount of money it will cost a show to get to opening night. This includes what it costs to build sets and costumes, rehearse the actors and musicians, rent facilities during rehearsals and previews, etc. This figure does not include what it costs to run the show after opening. That being said, operating cost is the amount of money it takes to run the show from week to week following the opening of the show. And obviously, these costs have a direct impact on the profit margins of the show.
Not a day went by in business school where we weren't asked to calculate profit margins. The lower the weekly operating costs, the higher the profit margins, and the faster a show can recoup. A good producer must pay very close attention to weekly running costs when evaluating what shows to invest in.
Example: Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark
Everyone has heard of Spider-Man. Most of the news covers its $75+ million price tag, technical problems, and injured actors. This huge price-tag aside, the real kicker is its operating costs. The New York Times reported the show costs $1.2 million a week to run. Last week, the show took in $1,295,190. It's going to take a hell of a long time to recoup $75 million on $95,000 of profit a week.
While Spider-Man is seeing a fairly long run, it hasn't seen a profitable one.
A good businessman looks to optimize profit. On Broadway, like in every other business, the key is keeping operating costs as low as possible.
Criteria for Producing
Commercial Appeal:
Let's face it, Broadway is a business and as producers, we take on fiduciary responsibly to mount shows that will recoup and turn a profit for investors. While it's nearly impossible to be all things to all people, you need to make sure your market is large enough to fill the houses for eight shows a week.
When evaluating material, I always ask myself who is the target audience and does this target audience match who is going to the theater. Two important stats to remember are that 60% of audiences and 80% of ticket buyers are female. While Brian's Song, might make a great tear-jerker of a musical, it may not appeal the most to your conventional audiences. With my luck, I've probably just offended two very idealistic undergraduates writing Brian's Song: The Musical…and it's only my first real blog entry.
Like in any business, you need to understand who will be most interested in your product. And only after you have come to this conclusion, will you be able to create a strategic plan to market your show appropriately and effectively to this demographic. And only after you have filled your houses with the "low hanging fruit" should you begin to expand your show's appeal to outlying demographics.
Example: Mamma Mia!
Stats to consider:
ABBA's sales (both record and concert)
ABBA's brand awareness level
Distribution of gender for ABBA fans
Average age of an ABBA fan
Socioeconomic background of an ABBA fan
Since its premiere, the Winter Garden (soon to be home to Rocky: The Musical; surely appealing to a slightly different audience), has been full of middle-aged women dancing in the aisles with their girlfriends, daughters, and their good-natured husbands. With a light, romantic comedy plot and a slew of ABBA hits, Mamma Mia! certainly did a great job appealing to its targeted audience.
A New Venture
About one year ago, I graduated with my MBA (specializations in Marketing Informatics and Brand & Product Management) from Boston College's Carroll School of Management. While a grad student studying the current creative and financial trends on Broadway, I couldn't help but think that producing a Broadway show is in many ways the perfect capstone for a MBA Program. After all, each element of business school (accounting, finance, operations, marketing, etc.) comes into play when producing a show. With an unbridled love of the theater, undergraduate degrees in theater and psychology, a graduate degree in business, and professional experience in fundraising, I hope to combine all these proficiencies in a successful run as a producer for the commercial theater.
Over the past couple of years, I have taken several seminars and workshops with the Commercial Theater Institute where I have learned best practices from those at the top of their game. I have also been very grateful for the encouragement, guidance, and partnerships I have received from some very well-established co- and lead producers in the industry, all of whom have been more than willing to give this up-and-coming producer his start.
With this proper preparation, it is now time to debut Final Bow Productions, a commercial theater production company.
This blog will be used to share updates on Final Bow Productions and its upcoming projects as well as to discuss some of the trends in the industry. For those interested in producing or investing, I hope you will enjoy following me on this journey. Please feel free to contact us at Final Bow Productions at anytime!


The cardinal features of three gunas or modes of sattva or goodness, rajas or passion and tamas or nescience are now being delineated by Lord Krishna. The main quality of sattva is its ability to confer blessedness. The main proponent of rajas is that it impels vigourous activity and the dominant factor in tamas is that it obscures intelligence giving a perverted view of reality which results in the tendency to perform unnatural activities. The three gunas are the natural effects of prakriti or the material substratum pervading physical existence and constitute the qualities of all matter which manifests into physical bodies both gross and subtle. How they each give rise to consequences so radically different and conflicting with each other is answered in the next verse.

Osborne Peasgood
The ashes of Osborne Peasgood and his wife are buried in the west cloister of Westminster Abbey. He was Sub-Organist of the Abbey and when Sir Ernest Bullock, Organist, left in 1941 Osborne (or Ossie as he was affectionately known) acted as the Abbey Organist until the newly appointed organist, William McKie, returned from war service in 1946. The inscription on the grave reads:
Osborne Harold Peasgood C.V.O. D.Mus, Sub-Organist 1924-1941 and 1946-1962, Acting Organist 1941-1946. Died 25 January 1962 aged 59 years. Also Dora his wife died 1968
He was a son of Robert and Laura Peasgood and was born on 5th March 1902 in London. He was educated at Kilburn grammar school and the Royal College of Music (where he was later a professor). In 1936 he became Doctor of Music and did some teaching at Reading university.
During his time at the Abbey he played the organ at the 1937 and 1953 coronations and at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) in 1947. During the war he was an Air Raid Warden described as 6 feet 1 inch in height, blue eyes, dark brown hair.
His wife was Dora Livesey. Their daughter Anna Gillian was baptised in the Abbey in 1939 and married Douglas Ramsey there in 1968. At his death one of the Abbey clergy recalled that he was loved by everyone, was also an engineer, a fisherman, a good tennis and golf player, with a deafening laugh. A wafer box for use at services in the Lady Chapel was given in his memory by George and Mary Woodward.

The narrative is predictable. As people protest police violence that terrorizes their communities, elected officials, the media, and even celebrities hijack the story once matters escalate. Protests become riots, riots beget looting, and it's all the fault of the victims, the community outraged at the continuous killing of their own. Little attention is paid by the media to the actual purveyors of the violence that terrorize black communities—the police—and more questions are asked about why windows are broken than about why Freddie Gray died.
While observing protests that resulted in the wake of Freddie Gray's death in Baltimore via social media, I noticed mainstream news outlets remained aloof to the events until the first police windshield was broken by a protester. By Monday, reports came in about violence from protesters, police injured by thrown bricks, fires, and looting.
Little attention is paid by the media to the actual purveyors of the violence that terrorize black communities.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake decried the actions of "gangs of thugs whose only intent was to bring violence and destruction to the city." President Obama repeated the sentiment in his statement on Tuesday. But unlike Mayor Rawlings-Blake, Obama addressed the unfortunate representation of the protests, acknowledging that, despite the overall peaceful nature of the protests, "one burning building will be looped on television over and over and over again."
Baltimore Police acted quickly to criminalize protesters and to control the narrative Monday morning. In a statement released to the media and on Twitter, BPD claimed they received "credible information that members of various gangs including the Black Guerrilla Family, Bloods, and Crips have entered into a partnership to 'take out' law enforcement officers." The release of that information criminalized groups of black people and couldn't have been further from the truth.
The very same Crips, Bloods, and BGF members appeared on the news Monday evening, after attending a meeting with church leaders to address the unrest in their neighborhood. During the segment, the group of men spoke about the ways in which the protests have been covered in national media. They had not, in fact, called a truce to "take out" the police. They were simply out to prevent further violence from tearing apart their community and to seek justice for Freddie Gray, despite the earlier narrative:
There was so much stuff that was going on on Saturday that got portrayed in the wrong direction or in the wrong light, that, for some reason—who knows, right?—why they won't paint this picture in a positive way. Like when a group of thirty Bloods walks up on a group of thirty Crips, everybody salutes and shakes hands and hugs, and starts to take pictures. But then the pictures that they take, they say, 'Oh no. Now they're uniting to kill cops.'
This interview provided a contrary narrative exposing a discrepancy in how the BPD and news outlets have portrayed the protests. Instead of looking at the work the community is doing to strengthen itself, they quickly focus on criminalizing protesters, illustrating an idea of a black rage that deserves such aggressive treatment from law enforcement. Irrespective of how peaceful protesters were, whether they were affiliated with a gang or not—and 99 percent are not—any expression of justified anger would be met with an intense response from police.
That has been, perhaps, the biggest problem in how Baltimore has been presented over the past few days. Very little attention was paid to the peaceful protests that started after Gray's death on the 19th, and today Baltimore is overrun with journalists looking to cover another Ferguson, where police fire tear gas canisters and pepper spray at protesters, while buildings are burning. Then, after yet another community has no answers for another innocent death, critics have the gall to ask, "Is this the message you want to send to the country?"
If the message is, "Enough is enough," then yes.
(Sorry, this embed was not found.)
Any violence from Baltimore's protesters is built up from frustration, to put it lightly, that a legacy of slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, housing and employment discrimination, mass incarceration, and police brutality has sparked. Baltimore Police aren't exactly known for being a civil bunch, either, which is why it baffles me why more attention isn't paid to the circumstances that led to Freddie Gray's death in the first place. Last fall, the Baltimore Sun reported that the police department has paid about $5.7 million in brutality settlements since 2011. This, in and of itself, is enough reason for the entire community in Baltimore to be outraged.
After yet another community has no answers for another innocent death, critics have the gall to ask, "Is this the message you want to send to the country?"
Although, if nobody is listening, what can you do to get them to hear?
In that regard, looting and destruction of property are acts of resistance that do not invalidate an entire struggle. While many people sympathetic to the cause—who believe that black lives do matter—may separate themselves from looting and property damage, the tactic has its place in civil disobedience. As the Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates tweeted, "[Rioting] is an expression of anger. Some humans riot because their school lost the big game. Others because the State can't stop killing them."
Yet only the latter of those riots are painted as a portrait of criminality. The former is more often treated as a moment when boys will be boys; no tear gas, no riot gear, no tanks or snipers. We witness this double standard repeatedly. This weekend, reporters placed more value on the property damaged (the replaceable) than the lives lost (the irreplaceable).
But more questions have been asked of the protesters this week than have been asked of the police. As law enforcement officers continue to kill unarmed black men and women across the country—almost "once a week," President Obama acknowledged Tuesday—it's the protesters who are continually begged to maintain peace and order. Coates continues in The Atlantic:
The people now calling for nonviolence are not prepared to answer these questions [surrounding Freddie Gray's death]. Many of them are charged with enforcing the very policies that led to Gray's death, and yet they can offer no rational justification for Gray's death and so they appeal for calm. But there was no official appeal for calm when Gray was being arrested.
Despite this, it's a huge misconception to claim that Baltimore's protesters are the provocateurs. After all, it was the city that shut down transportation, the police who met protesters and innocent bystanders with riot gear ready for a fight, racist Orioles fans yelling hate speech at protesters, the mayor calling out "thugs," and the news media's unquenchable thirst to see a burning building, to find another reason to invalidate black pain and suffering and take the BPD's messages at face value.
Despite tweets by BPD and negative coverage by the media, this is what Baltimore looked like on Monday:

As it goes, the general harmony and unity of the Baltimore protesters isn't what matters in the dominant narrative. What matters is the depiction of the black community as a threat to private property and the lives of police officers. For every tweet by Baltimore Police intended to control the narrative of the chaotic criminality of the black community, protesters stood strong demanding justice, not just for Freddie Gray, but for their right to live as Americans, as humans.

Minnesota 'Teacher of the Year' Kneels During College Football Championship's Anthem


Do you ever get a little overwhelmed in the produce aisle or grocery store in general? I do. Lately I find myself wondering what is ok to buy and eat. We participate in a CSA during the summer. All of the fruits and vegetables we receive from June through October are grown locally. Now there is barely anything local available.
Our market has a small section of organic produce but the prices are extremely high. When you go to a place like Whole Foods, you may assume everything you are buying is organic but that's not actually the case. There are definitely more organic options available but they are at a premium cost as well.
The Environmental Working Group publishes a shopper's guide to pesticides in produce every year. There are two quick reference lists; The Dirty Dozen and The Clean 15 which are helpful in terms of determining where it is best to invest your dollars. Please check out their website for more detailed information on the results.
The only vegetables not on the dirty dozen list that I always buy organic are carrots. They are readily available almost everywhere and pretty decently priced. I had an abundance of organic baby carrots and some apples in the house I needed to use so I decided to make this soup. When I started cooking the soup, I assumed I would stir in some coconut milk at the end. However, after tasting it, I felt the flavors were spot on and the texture was great. I didn't want to drown out the spices with the coconut. I love the balance between the savory carrots, the sweet apples, the spicy thai chili peppers and the smokiness of the cumin. You can really taste all of them in every bite!
Heat oil in a large dutch oven or soup pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, celery and garlic and cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 5-6 minutes. Lower heat, if needed, to avoid browning. Add sambal oelek and cumin and toss until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add carrots and apples, season with kosher salt and black pepper and cook, tossing frequently, for about 2-3 minutes more until beginning to sweat. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Partially cover and reduce heat to simmering. Continue simmering for about 45-55 minutes, or until carrots and apples are tender. Add up to 2 cups of water, if needed to cover as the liquid reduces while cooking.
Allow to cool slightly before transferring into a blended in two batches and pureeing until smooth. Taste and season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper (you may need to be a little aggressive to get the full flavors of the soup since the vegetable stock is unsalted). Serve soup drizzled with additional sambal oelek and garnished with celery leaves, if desired.


ABRAM BOGART. Autograph Letter Signed, to a "friend," South Carolina, October 10, 1863, 4 pp. 8vo.
Organized in August and September 1862, the 144th New York Volunteer Infantry regiment traveled by railroad to Washington, D.C., where it joined in the defense of Washington until April 1863, when it was ordered to Suffolk, Virginia, near Norfolk. There, General Longstreet besieged the regiment for two weeks. The regiment participated in the pursuit of Lee's army after the Battle of Gettysburg, before being ordered to Folly Island, South Carolina. The regiment remained there and on Morris Island from August 1863 to February 1864, and participated in the sieges of Fort Wagner and Fort Gregg. Confederates abandoned Fort Wagner on September 6, and Union forces captured Fort Gregg later that same month. With the capture of these forts on Morris Island, the Union forces bombarded Fort Sumter for 13 months from August 1863 to September 1864, reducing the location of the start of the war to a pile of rubble.
Contaminated drinking water led to outbreaks of chronic diarrhea and typhoid fever that disabled many and killed dozens of soldiers in the 144th New York.
Abram Bogart (1825-1899) was born in Catskill, New York. By 1860, he was a farmer in Sidney, Delaware County, New York, with $600 in real property. He enlisted as a private in Company I of the 144th New York Volunteer Infantry in August 1862 for three years. A month later, he transferred to Company K in the same regiment. He mustered out with his company on June 25, 1865, at Hilton Head, South Carolina. After the war, he returned to Sidney and continued farming. By 1870, he owned $2,500 in real property. He began receiving an invalid pension in 1886, and still lived in Sidney in 1892.
Joseph E. Olmstead (1841-1863) enlisted in August 1862 and was mustered in as a private in Company K of the 144th New York in September 1862. Promoted to corporal in October 1862, he died October 10, 1863, at Folly Island, South Carolina.
N.B.: The Gilder-Lehrman Collection has 31 letters by Bogart from both before and after this one.

Bastil Govin is currently assigned as an Engineering Officer aboard Starbase 118.
Carriage: Relaxed, but with good posture necessary for singing.
Taste in Clothing (when off duty): He tends to prefer clothing that is relaxed and allow him to work without feeling restricted.
Voice: Lyric Tenor, although due to the specifics of Kerelian biology he has a significantly greater range than a human with a similar voice.
Tattoos: As with most Kerelian's Bastil has a number of tattoos on his body. Most reference special moments of his life.
An abstract representation of the design schematic of a basic warp core is tattooed on his right upper back.
Various other symbolic tattoos are scattered about his arms legs and chest.
Bastil in generally easy going with others but holds himself to a high standard. He enjoys getting his hands dirty and isn't averse to manual labor when it is called for. He loves machinery, especially when it needs fixing. He has a tendency to become hyper focused on projects he finds interesting.
Bastil was born on a farm on the Western coast of Actya on Kerelia. An only child, he enjoyed the work and time for focus on the daily tasks. He took to maintaining the farms equipment at an early age and his parents nurtured that talent and interest throughout his childhood. He was allowed to develop a fondness for forging to maintain the farms equipment. During a trip to the Afina during a school trip, his desire to be an engineer when he was an adult was cemented, and seeing SF Marines in the city put the idea of joining Starfleet, to get access to as much machinery as possible, in his head.
He joined Starfleet as soon as he got done with his schooling, entering the academy at the age of 18.
As with most Kerelians, Bastil has a keen ear for music and enjoys singing. He put some effort in training his voice as a child and young adult, but knew it would never be a profession. He looks for opportunities to sing where and when he can, and his exposure to cultures outside of Kerelian has opened up new worlds of music to him. He has a habit of humming when he is working, and in deference to those who find it annoying modulate his pitch above the auditory ranges of those he's working with. If he is with people who don't mind the additional entertainment, or if he is alone, he will often sing while he works, a habit he developed on the family farm.
Bastil also enjoys tinkering with various pieces of equipment, trying to improve them in some way. He almost always has various tools on him, even off duty, in case the opportunity to use them comes up.

The story of the year and people BC.
historical chronology, as it is known, is divided into two periods.Initially, there was a time, which contemporaries called the stage BC.It ends with the onset of the first year.At this time, we began our era, that until today lasts.And although today, calling the year, people do not say "n. E." Nevertheless, it is implied.
first calendar
process of human evolution has created a need to streamline the date and time.Ancient farmers had to be as accurate as possible to know what time it is better to sow the seeds breeder nomads - when to move to other areas, in time to ensure their cattle feed.
So began to appear very first calendars.And they were based observations of celestial bodies and nature.In different nations there were differing time calendars.For example, the Romans led his chronology of the founding of Rome - 753 BC, while the Egyptians - the first time the board of each of the dynasties of pharaohs.Own calendars created many religions.For example, in Islam, a new era begins with the year of the birth of Prophet Muhammad.
the Julian and Gregorian calendars
in 45 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar established his calendar.It began the year with the first of January and lasted for twelve months.This calendar was named Julian.
one that we use today, was introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory the Twelfth.He was able to eliminate some of the significant inaccuracies that have accumulated since the first Ecumenical Council.At the time they were ten days.The difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars increases by about a day for each century, and today is thirteen days.
chronology in history always plays a big role.After all, it is important to, in what period of time occurred a significant event in the life of mankind, whether it is the creation of the first tools, or the beginning of the Hundred Years War.They say that history without dates similar to the math without numbers.
religious form chronology
Since the beginning of our era is calculated from the year is considered the birth date of Jesus, the religious variant is often used appropriate entry from the birth of Christ before him.Until now, there is absolutely accurate historical data about when the planet did life.And only based on religious and historical artifacts, scientists can draw conclusions about when something happened or about other events.This BC listed in chronological reverse order.
Year Zero
Mention section between the time before and after Christmas due to the calculation in the astronomical records made according to the number of integers on the coordinate axes.Year Zero is not accepted to use any religious or secular notations.But it is very common in the astronomical records and in the ISO 8601 - the international standard issued by an organization such as the International Organization for Standardization.It describes the format of dates and times, as well as recommendations for their application in an international context.
term "BC" received its distribution in the chronology after using it Venerable Bede - Benedictine monk.He wrote about it in one of his treatises.And since 731, the calculation of the time was divided into two periods: before Christ and after.Gradually, almost all countries in Western Europe began to move on this calendar.The most recent of these was Portugal.It happened Aug. 22, 1422.Before the first in January 1700 Russia used the chronological calculus Constantinople era.For a starting point it was adopted the Christian era of "creation of the world."By and large, the basis of many eras was laid relationship between the "days of creation of the world" and the entire duration of its existence.But Constantinople was created using Constance, and chronology of it was carried out from September 5509 BC.However, since the Emperor was not "consistent Christian," his name, and at the same time they created countdown mentioned reluctantly.
prehistoric and historic epochs
history - a prehistoric and historic times.The first one starts with the appearance of the first man, and ends when the script appeared.The era of prehistoric is divided into several time periods.The basis of their classification are the archaeological finds.These materials, of which BC people make tools, the period when they used them, formed the basis of recreating not only the timing but also the names of the stages of prehistory.
same historical era consists of antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as modern and contemporary times.In different countries, they attacked at different times, so scientists are unable to determine their exact time frame.
Home AD
is well known that a new era in the beginning not to calculate a continuous readout of years, for example, from the first year and to suppose this.Its chronology began much later, with the date of the Nativity.It is believed that it first calculated the Roman monk named Dionysius Small in the sixth century, that is, more than five hundred years after the events dated.To get the result, Dionysius counted first date of the Resurrection of Christ, based on the Church's tradition that the Son of God was crucified on the thirty-first year of life.
date of his resurrection, according to the Roman monk - this March 25 5539 the year of reckoning "from Adam" and the year of the birth of Christ, therefore, was the 5508 th in the Byzantine era.It must be said that the calculation of Dionysius up to the fifteenth century, raised doubts in the West.In itself, the Byzantine Empire and they did not recognize the canonical.
History BC
From the seventh to the third millennium BC, the planet was neolithic era - the period of transition appropriating forms of economy, namely hunting and gathering, the generating - agriculture and animal husbandry.At that time there were weaving, grinding stone tools and pottery.
end of the fourth - beginning of the first millennium BC: the planet reigns Bronze Age.Gets Distribution metal and bronze weapons, there are nomadic pastoralists.Bronze Age gave way to the Iron.At that time, Egypt was ruled by the first and second dynasties, unite the country into a centralized state.
In 2850-2450 years BC.e.It started the economic recovery of the Sumerian civilization.From 2800 till 1100 th rises Aegean, or the culture of ancient Greece.Almost at the same time in the Indus valley civilization of India was born, there was the highest flowering of the kingdom of Troy.
about 1190 BC.e.powerful Hittite empire collapsed.After nearly four decades Elamite king conquered Babylon and came heyday of his power.
In 1126-1105 years BC.e.came the reign of the emperor Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.In the 331-meters in the Caucasus formed the first state.In the year 327 BC.e.held Indian company Alexander.During this period, there was a lot of events, including the slave revolt in Sicily, the Allied war Mithridatic War, campaign of Mark Antony to the Parthians, the reign of Emperor Augustus.
And finally, between the eighth and fourth years BC Christ was born.
Different peoples concept of chronology was always unequal.Each state has decided this problem on their own, while being guided by both religious and political reasons.And only in the nineteenth century all Christian states established a common reference point that is used to this day under the name of "our era".Calendar of the ancient Maya, the Byzantine era, the Hebrew calendar, the Chinese - they all had their date of creation.
For example, the Japanese calendar began in 660 BC and is updated after each death of the emperor.Buddhist era will soon enter into the year 2484 and calendar Hindi - in 2080.Aztecs update your calendar again in 1454, after the death and rebirth of the sun.Therefore, if their civilization is not lost, for them today would be just 546 years of a new era ...
Ancient map of the world
BC travelers were also interested in the world and its routes were drawings.They transferred them to bark, sand or papyrus.The first map of the world appeared in many millennia BC.That cave paintings have become some of the first images.While scouting the earth people, they were especially interested in ancient maps of bygone eras.Some of them represent our planet as a huge island lapped by the ocean, others can already see the outlines of the continents.
Babel map
very first map created by BC, was a small clay tablet found in Mesopotamia.It dates from the end of the eighth - the beginning of the seventh centuries before our era, and is the only extant from the Babylonians.The land is surrounded by seas on it, called "salt water".For water - triangles, indicating clearly the mountains faraway lands.
This map shows the state of Urartu (modern Armenia), Assyria (Iraq), Elam (Iran) and Babylon itself, which takes place in the middle of the Euphrates.
Map Eratosthenes
Even the ancient Greeks were the earth sphere and very elegantly argued it.Pythagoras, for example, said that everything is in harmony in nature, and the most perfect form of it - the ball, which exists in the form of our planet.The first map, compiled based on the image of the Earth belongs to Eratosthenes.He lived in the third century BC in Cyrene.It is believed that the scientist who led the Library of Alexandria, and came up with a term such as "geography".It was the first time he has BC raschertil world into parallels and meridians, and called them "who go along" or "midday" lines.World Eratosthenes was one island, which is bordering the North Atlantic Ocean on the top and bottom.It is divided into Europe, and Ariana Arabia, India and Scythia.To the south was Taprobane - current Ceylon.
This Eratosthenes seemed to live in another hemisphere, "antipodes", which it is impossible to reach.After all, people then, including the ancient Greeks thought that at the equator so hot that the sea was boiling, and all burned alive.Conversely, at the poles very cold, and there is not no one survives.
Ptolemy map
For several centuries, generally considered another map of the world.It was compiled by the ancient Greek scholar Claudius Ptolemy.Founded almost a hundred and fifty years before our era, it was part of vosmitomnika "Guide to Geography".
Ptolemy Asia have occupied the space from the North Pole to the equator, displacing the Pacific, while Africa blends in terra incognita, occupying the entire South Pole.To the north of Scythia was the mythical Hyperborea, and about America or Australia did not say anything.It is thanks to this map Columbus began to reach India by sailing west at the same time.And even after the discovery of America for some time continued to use a map from Ptolemy.

A Long Bunch of Babble
We went camping last night at a campground we really liked. We were right by a river and it wasn't too crowded. It was also right by some train tracks, however, and some people may consider this a serious drawback. There was one point, sometime after midnight, that 2 trains went by at the same time, crossing paths right next to our campsites. They had to blow their whistles, of course, and it was crazy loud, so I just laid there hoping and praying that they wouldn't wake Harrison. Miraculously he didn't wake up, so I didn't have to chase the trains down and give them what-for. Anyway, this rather meaningless little train experience made me think of other train experiences in my life, and so I decided to share one with you. You're Welcome.
In the town where I grew up was a place called Red Bridge. It was a place where two sets of train tracks crossed each other, one above the other, forming a bridge. It never seemed all that red to me, but hey, I didn't name it. We used to hang out there a lot. Yeah. It's a little town. Sometimes we just went to talk, sometimes we would bring gear and repel off the bridge, sometimes we would bring ice cream and eat it in the dark. If our timing was good and we were very lucky, a train would come by on the lower tracks. This is what made the spot so fun. We liked to climb down into the beams of the bridge to watch the train speed past us.
One time in particular sticks out. We heard a train coming in the distance. Me and Ryan VanAusdal climbed down into the beams. We hurried to get to the beam right at the edge of the track so we would be as close to the train as possible. The train was coming fast so we had to hurry. And we got there just in time. Me, clinging to one beam, and Ryan clinging to a beam some 5 feet behind me. And then the train arrived and blew its whistle. The blast of wind that hit from the speed of that train, combined with the force of air I am sure was produced solely by the sound of the whistle was almost enough to send me flying. It was all I could do to hold tight to that beam while the train sped past.
And in that instant I was sure that Ryan was gone. I knew that if I turned around I would see him flying through the air, or in a heap on the ground some 30 feet away. Of course I couldn't turn - the wind was still too strong and I was clinging to that beam for dear life. Not to mention the adrenaline and excitement of that much noise, power and speed. If I had wanted to I could have reach out my hand and touched it (the train, I mean. Not the power and speed. Well, maybe I would have been touching the power and speed as well, but there is no point in waxing poetic because whatever it was I was touching, it would have taken my hand off). The moments passed with me being torn between exhilaration, and grief for my poor, fallen friend.
When the train was finally gone and I was able to climb off my beam, I saw that Ryan was still there. Of course he was still there. What is funny to me now is that I thought that a guy 3 years my senior with a man-sized upper body strength would be blown away when I was able to hang on, but that is what I thought. I'm kind of dumb like that. It makes me smile every time I think about it.

I have just one question, where is this cool campground?
elesa July 8, 2008 at 1:05 PM
Spanish Fork Canyon. Right across from the turn off to Diamond Fork. Not many trees yet, but nice nonetheless.

I know where Diamond Fork is! Did you know we are moving back to Utah in Oct. We don't know where we are going to work or live yet. But we are SO excited to be back HOME :). And camping really is fun, for some reason making dinner out side over a fire is much more fun then making dinner at home ;)

I think memories like that would make an otherwise uncrowded campground my favorite, too!

I've been out to Red Bridge with you. Being as I'm from a small town quite close to yours with nothing much to do. All I remember was a dead cow. We also got there just after the train. But it was still cool.

This kind of things I and my boyfie had been arguing for such a long time. When it's time to call him, I can not just sit and talk to him, I had to do something else. So, I figured out the best time to call him is when I'm in the car, hopeless, doing nothing, and full attention to him.
Multitasker has always find it difficult to concentrate on one task. But it's not always a weakness I supposed, I can apply mascara while I'm driving, and maybe I could write that on my resume. No, kidding. I spend my time make important calls and checking my email mostly in the car. And also online shopping, of course!
Speaking of online shopping, I always excited to receive Esther Lin's newest collection, especially this PURE collection, see it here.
Wrapped in Sheer Dress from Esther Lin's PURE 2015 collection, I did't feel like I was going to wear it unmixed. Paired it with old puffed shoulder military jacket which never been worn since I bought it was perfect to contrast the feminine and masculine. And my all time favourite pumps, Sam Edelman Desiree and Celine shades.

Mapping the predicted and potential impacts of metal mining and its mitigation measures in Arctic and boreal regions using environmental and social impact assessments: a systematic map protocol
A protocol for a research effort to generate a list of all possible direct and indirect effects of metal mining in the Arctic and boreal regions in Canada, Alaska (US), Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Macura, B., Haddaway, N. R., Lesser, P. and Nilsson, A. E. (2019). Mapping the predicted and potential impacts of metal mining and its mitigation measures in Arctic and boreal regions using environmental and social impact assessments: a systematic map protocol. Environmental Evidence, 8(1). 21. https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13750-019-0166-2
The authors will:
conduct searches for environmental and social impact assessments in Swedish and English, and until theoretical saturation is reached (i.e. no new action-impact pathways are identified)
perform searches of specialist websites (e.g. public repositories of environmental and social impact assessments) and Google Scholar
we will also contact relevant stakeholders (that have been identified in the wider 3MK project https://osf.io/cvh3u/) and make a call for additional information
conduct eligibility screening from titles and full text
extract metadata from eligible studies including type of mining activity, location of mine, type of impacts, and planned mitigation measures.
The findings will be presented narratively, in a searchable relational database and in an evidence altas (a cartographic map). The authors will produce a framework of different mining impacts and related mitigation measures from practitioners' knowledge reflected in EIAs and SIAs. This framework will further form the basis of a multiple knowledge base on mining impacts and mitigation measures generated from different knowledges including scientific, Indigenous, and practitioners' knowledge.

How many times have ever thought to yourself, "Wow, what a great idea!" Then what happened? Nothing. You took no initiative and no action. Like you, most of us find it easy to come up with some great ideas, but later discover that it is very difficult to put them into action. As a result, no tangible, attainable, valuable or successful reality is born. But now is the time! Opportunities are waiting!


The ThromboLUX System can revolutionize the care hematology-oncology patients receive. Platelet transfusions are supportive treatment. Depending on the platelet activation status platelet transfusions can have far-reaching implications for the recipient. Currently, the platelet activation status is assumed – but not known – based on product age and visual inspection. With ThromboLUX the activation status of platelet transfusions can be determined. When using ThromboLUX, hospitals have seen an average reduction in prophylactic platelet utilization by 19.5%. This reduction is connected to fewer patients needing massive prophylactic platelet transfusion support.
This breakthrough is achieved by identifying the variability in platelet activation of the platelet inventory. Using Dynamic Light Scattering, ThromboLUX determines the microparticle content of a platelet sample as a proven indicator of platelet activation. Platelet samples are characterized as Activated or Non-Activated based on high or low microparticle content. Transfusing exclusively Non-Activated platelets to hematology-oncology patients reduces complexity and improves the chance of success.
ThromboLUX is a routine screening tool for platelet activation. The five-minute walk-away test requires only 100 μL of sample. The sample is taken from the platelet bag tubing using sterile technique. Preparing the test takes only two minutes of technician time — allowing blood banks to easily test each platelet bag as it is received from a supplier.
The ThromboLUX System uses two accessory kits. The ThromboLUX Test Kit contains all of the items needed to prepare a sample for testing with ThromboLUX. The ThromboLUX Control Kit contains the standard and sampling vial required for a once-daily system test.


Arguably, Zambians have not always made the best political decisions, but the last election was testimony that the people command the way forward and will not blindly allow government to regress national progress. If government does not serve the people, the people will get a new government. Good governance in action is in Kalingalinga. No longer is it the neighborhood (where I went to school as a child) from where we would hear gunshots at night. Flimsy housing structures are replaced with brick houses, street kids are going to school thanks to free education offered from primary school to basic school (grades 1 – 9), sanitation has improved and it is a bedrock for micro, small and medium enterprises.
I recognise the fact that we all need to make a living, but you working for a vulture fund makes me question where you get the authority to apportion blame? Though we might not have domestic legal resources to go up against your New York or London lawyers, we will fight to the end, be assured. There are resources like the Africa Legal Support Facility (affiliated with the African Development Bank) that provide legal assistance to African countries to fight vulture funds. In case you did not learn this in Zambia, here is for a lesson, "Wanya!". It will not be like the Donegal case. This time Zambia will win the case, plus costs.


Have you ever felt like you were not doing enough to fit the 'picture perfect' mummy image that is portrayed on social media? Well you are not alone, parents across the world agree and a new project is looking to change this.
With seven in ten parents globally wishing there were more honest representations of parenting in culture and on social media, today WaterWipes, the world's purest baby wipes, launches the #ThisIsParenthood project in partnership with 86 real parents, plus influencers and like-minded organisations from across the world. The project aims to counter a culture of perfect parenting, by documenting the realities through a uniquely honest lens and start a more open and honest conversation around parenthood that inspires self-belief in Mums and Dads across the world.
A new global study conducted by WaterWipes looked into the realities of parenting. In the UAE the brand surveyed 1,000 parents with children aged 3 and under and the statistics were alarming. The research showed that over half of parents feel like they are failing during their first year of parenthood.
There is a lack of honesty around parenting – with parents themselves struggling to be honest about their journey through fear of judgment. The study also revealed that parents wish there was more honesty in the representation of parenthood in culture and amongst parents themselves, with the equivalent of 67.6 million parents globally feeling as though they cannot relate to the parenting images they see on social media, as stated in a UN report.
Despite having a network around them, parents often feel alone & unable to share their struggles. Whilst two thirds of mums and dads in the UAE felt most supported by their partner during their first year of parenthood, interestingly, a third felt as though their partner didn't really understand them once their baby was born. On top of this, half of parents in the UAE feel as though they have to put on a brave face in front of their support network (family, friends) rather than be honest with their struggles.
"The global research speaks for itself – parents are feeling disempowered by the portrayal of picture-perfect parenting and are crying out for more honesty. As a company that stands for honesty – in our products, our advertising and everything we do – we want to change this. We hope that mums and dads across the world will feel inspired to join us in this project and share their #ThisIsParenthood journey, so that together we can change the conversation for the better," says Cathy Kidd, VP Marketing at WaterWipes.
#ThisIsParenthood is a message to all parents, one intended to get parents to believe in themselves by celebrating the imperfectly perfect. It hopes to change the game by breaking the perfect parenting stereotypes that exist, affecting meaningful change and speaking to parents in a uniquely eye-to-eye way. Through this, WaterWipes hope to empower mums & dads with self-belief and tackle the root of the insecurities commonly felt in the first year of parenthood.
