Last week I got bitten by a bee, on my bottom lip. I felt the bee start to fly in my mouth (I'm sure that's not where he/she meant to go) and I spit it out pretty quickly, but not before I got a mild sting. No big swelling, no allergic reaction but it did hurt for a few days. On Day 3, if I looked REALLY hard, I could see a teeny whitish blister. Kinda. Certainly no one else could see it, including YA.
Then on Monday, while hammering a nail in the bathroom, I missed the nail and whacked by left index finger something good. I swore so loudly that I had to go apologize to the neighbors. It really hurt. No bruise, no blood under the fingernail. Nothing except for the lingering soreness.
Now I don't know about you but I think if you get hurt enough that it still hurts after a day or so, you should get a little bruise or a blister or something. It doesn't have to be some egregious wound, just a little badge of honor for your pain.
Have you ever received a trophy (or badge or prize)?

25 thoughts on "Tales of Woe"
Rise and pin on your ribbons, Baboons,
Come to think of it, I have received many awards, ribbons, and plaques. What I realized, recently, as I sorted through my stuff as part of the "Digitize Family History Project" —my COVID activity—is that I have received many such things, especially in High School and college. At the time, they never meant a lot to me, because nothing ever could override my mother's disappointment in having such a child as me. Her need for perfection and approval, whatever that might be, was a burden that colored all else.
I found in my stuff, many news clippings of activities, band medals and awards, letters notifying me of being on the Deans' List (at Iowa State that was no small thing) and scholarships. I found my ACT scores in which I got the highest science and math grades in my class, and caused the counselor to accuse me of cheating. I did not.
At this point in life, my most honorable badge is my cancer scars. I recovered only by medical intervention and grace. I cooperated with treatment, but after that it was up to my body to respond and recover as it would.
All I can say is Thank You Body. You honored me by living.
The Dean's List at Iowa State is no small think, Jacque (says one who never got close…)
Won some meaningless golf tournaments, a grade-school spelling bee, a raffle here and there, a few very minor book contest awards (mostly just semifinalist or finalist, only one "full" award. Those are also meaningless in the grand scheme of boosting sales or notoriety.
The only two "awards" that mean anything to me are: ONE, the thank you letter sent to me by the brightest, most talent-laden student I ever taught who thanked me for inspiring him to reach beyond his small hometown and believe he could succeed at any college–which he did. Carnegie Mellon University. TWO, being told many times by my first Little Brother that I helped him open up his mind, see the world with a thoughtful, critical eye, think for himself, and get his act together so that now he's got a stable situation with a good, steady job, a steady girlfriend, two daughters, a nice house that they are renting, and the fact that he's looking to the future, making plans, taking responsibility, and overall being a responsible, caring adult father and man.
Oh yes, almost forgot, I won the "marriage lottery" when my wife of 42 years said "yes." Didn't get a piece of hardware for that win, just the marriage certificate. 😉
The very best honors of all Chris. Congratulations!
Thanks, Jacque.
I was given awards twice, both of which were tainted.
I once got a certificate of commendation for my efforts to help the International Wolf Center. The award was ironic. The staff of the center had preferred ways of doing things, many of which I regretted. I struggled for five or six years to bring about reforms. The staff continued exactly as before, ignoring my unwelcome suggestions. I suspect the certificate of commendation was a ploy to encourage me to shut up and go away. I have no hard feelings now, but I don't treasure the award!
I once won a writing contest. My reward was a dream fishing trip to the Florida Keys. It was a fascinating trip. I figured out that the fellow who headed a public relations office for a fishing tackle company put the contest together for his own benefit. He arranged for the prize to be the kind of trip he dreamed of taking, and then he did take it as the coordinator of the event. We had a good time.
That reminds me of a writer I knew early in my time in advertising. He managed to convince the client that he had to go to Sherwood Forest to produce an ad for Robin Hood flour.
There are people who can work any system for their own benefit.
K-Two says:
During my el-hi years I won a spelling bee (no prize), a raffle, and several band/choir awards. Within the past 10 years I won two awards that were more substantial. One was the Mike Andrews Award for volunteerism from Field Community School. The other was Volunteer of the Year award from Minneapolis Public School. I have nice plaques to prove it. My volunteerism was piano accompanist for the music programs at Field, and now more recently at Sanford. I was at rehearsals nearly every day (and usually for several hours as I had several groups to accompany) but also was the de facto music librarian, helped run sectionals, helped set up and tear down set ups for performances, made copies of music (shhhh….don't tell anyone – the copies were only used at rehearsals and were recycled), and myriad other small tasks. Now with Covid affecting school learning, and singing being one of the best ways to transmit the virus, I don't know what will happen this year. Guess I'll have a lot of time on my hands.
Love it–those piano players who accompany choirs are so valuable. Thanks for what you do.
I feel for you, K-two, without that musical outlet if that's how it is this fall.
An appreciation plaque from Habitat For Humanity.
In high school, I received every sports pin, six in total, awarded by a national board. I have no idea what became of them, I suspect mom tossed them when I left home. I do remember being quite proud of them, though not enough to actually wear or display them in any way. There were miscellaneous medals for swimming and diving competitions as well, but nothing that meant anything to me.
In college, I was an honors student and on the Deans' List most every quarter; that meant something because it assured the continuation of the scholarship I was on, but I never kept any of the letters notifying me of the achievement.
I won a couple of trophies in tennis, and one as part of a bowling team! The ugliest damn trophy ever, and that's saying something. Also, from my time at KPMG, I once won the traveling pig trophy that was awarded each week to the one who had lost the least weight during that week. The trophy was meant to shame you into doing better the following week, but didn't seem to work very well. It came with a rather witty, but nasty, memo that was circulated to all participants in the tax season weight challenge, ridiculing the poorest loser. Some participants would weigh in in shorts and bare feet to avoid being awarded the pig trophy. Need I tell you that this weight loss challenge was run by a bunch of overweight white guys?
I once took home a plaque as the winner of a speech contest through Toastmasters. I had no idea what to do with the plaque, so pried off the brass plate with my name on it, and recycled the plaque.
But my favorite award has to be the certificate and relatively substantial cash prize I won once when I came out on top of the annual college basketball pool at the law office. That was particularly sweet because I didn't know a fool thing about basketball, the colleges, or their teams, whereas all of the other participants in the pool considered themselves experts. For me, it was pure luck, and I took a lot of flack because of it. I recycled the certificate and spent the money.
I'm curious, vs, why you chose the header photo to today's post?
Bruised fruit
I honestly can't recall getting a trophy or award beyond a pink ribbon for 3rd or 4th place in a grade school track day. I've gotten certificates for completing things like Y-Teens Leadership Camp, a T'ai Chi course.
I guess my trophies have been getting to a level in some things where I'm asked/allowed to teach (folk dance) or to help lead a group (song circle). And son Joel told us, once he was an adult and had moved out, that he thought the way we brought him up was really good… that felt like being awarded a prize.
Good afternoon-
Way back in my first year of doing theater I won the 'Best Director' award because I'd be in the booth trying to get the actors into their light. "Come on, come on… a little more…" "Step right one more step!" "Back up, back up…"
Obviously it was a dubious award but given with affection and made from all sorts of bits of left over stuff and all spray painted gold. It's still downstairs in fact. One benefit to having never moved.
a few years ago I was up for a more serious award called an 'Artee' (for the mayor who started them, Ardel Brede.) but didn't win that one.
Got 'Best actor' award in 4H But really, I was the only male senior actor so they had to give it to somebody.
In regard to the header photo and VS'd bruises – I have a number of "personal" badges but the best one is the scar from my hip fracture/pin placement from September, 2016. Actually it is three separate incisions, each about an inch and a half long. Those same incisions were used to remove the hardware a year and a half later. I'm glad to report that except for not being able to sit crossed leg for very long, there are no ill effects from that long recovery. Acupuncture helped the healing and range of motion a ton and I still receive "maintenance" treatments.
I once won a modest chili cook-off, which isn't all that remarkable but half the contestants were home economists whose jobs were developing recipes.
I'd love that recipe if you'd care to share. Always on the look-out for good chili recipes.
The thing is, the chili was judged by popular vote. None of the home economists placed in the competition and I think it was because, being professionals, they were more rigid about what constituted chili. I don't remember exactly how I made it but I know it had chunks of steak and probably a little unsweetened cocoa in it. The home ecs were caught up in whether true chili has beans or not.
I won Grand Champion for a cactus terrarium garden at the Rock County Fair when I was in Grade 8. I got to go to the State Fair with it. My, was that fun! We got to stay in the 4-H building with its three level bunk beds and wander around the Fair Grounds at all hours.
Oh yeah. Been there done that, got kitchen duty the first morning.
I never had kitchen duty!
The nonprofit that does tax returns awarded me a couple of awards – the first was Rookie of the Year (my first year, naturally), and later Reviewer of the Year. Also I have a medal from the one race I participated in with my dragon boat team.
There were also a few of times I won the Oscars pool and the trivia contest in various groups.
What I would really like is a state fair ribbon in something like creative activities, but of course you have to actually get moving and make something….which I have yet to do.

Motivation /
Why We Love the Underdog
By	admin	/	October 21, 2010
By: Dave Tomlinson
Category: Motivation
In the Australian culture that I live in there is a great affinity and love for the underdog. When otherwise impartial, we passionately support the team or individual that is less favoured to win. It's an important part of who we are and an intrinsic part of our lifestyle. So it's little wonder then, that the movie The Castle became so loved in this country.
The Castle tells the story of the Kerrigans, a working class family in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. They live directly adjacent to the airport and although it's a modest house constantly in the flight path, it is literally their castle. When the airport wants to expand their home becomes the subject of a compulsory acquisition order. Led by husband and father Daryl Kerrigan, the family decide to fight to keep their home. The case goes to the High Court and it becomes a 'Daryl versus Goliath' battle.
The Kerrigans win the affection of everyone because although they are naïve and uneducated, they stand up for what they believe in. They are up against smug and clever lawyers and judges but fight to keep what is theirs. The film pokes fun at the average working class Australian but at the same time it portrays them as heroes. They were the underdog fighting with courage and eventually prevailing.
In a recent poll, Australians were asked to vote which movie character they feel best represents the nation. The winner was Darryl Kerrigan because he captures the spirit of the 'Aussie battler' that we can all identify with. His down to earth attitude, love for his family and memorable quotes means that his character continues to strike a chord with people. So much so that he was voted ahead of the iconic Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee in the survey.
For a movie that was filmed in 11 days on a budget of approximately $19,000, it made a huge impact. The 'Aussie battler' has become a firm part of our identity; we love the small guy. As authors Michael Page & Robert Inapen wrote: "The true Aussie battler and his wife thrust doggedly onwards: starting again, failing again; implacably thrusting towards success. For success, even if it is only the success of knowing that one has tried to the utmost and never surrendered, is the target of every battler."
So, why is there such appeal, especially for Australians, in supporting the underdog? Researchers have found that those who are seen as disadvantaged or without equal opportunity arouse people's sense of fairness and justice. These are very important principles the most people love to see being upheld. People also generally believe that underdogs put more effort into what they do, often just to achieve the same as the top-dogs.
Support for the underdog runs very deep into Australian history and folklore. From the fabled last stand of Ned Kelly through to the soldiers in the World War I battle of Gallipoli, we have always seen them as courageous and heroic. It matters not that Kelly was an outlaw or that Gallipoli was a military failure. We remember and celebrate that these men were fighting against all odds. In our hearts, the spirit of their deeds will live on forever.
Many Australians define success by attitude rather than ability or outcome. This may be a legacy of the early convicts who didn't have any hope of winning, but developed an attitude that they hadn't lost until the very end. Some have speculated that our support for the underdog originates from the harsh environment we live in. Through the years, farmers have been punished by droughts, bushfires and flooding. At times they appear to have little hope against the power of nature but no matter what, they always give their best.
Another curious thing about the Australian culture is that our love for the underdog extends beyond our own nationality, race and social class. This is especially true in the sporting arena where we are happy to admire and applaud a fighting performance from an underdog, whoever that team or individual is. When the all conquering Australian cricket team was dominating world cricket, the batsman from other nations who stood up bravely and punished our bowlers, did so to great admiration. In the 2003 World Cup, there was huge crowd support for teams who had little or no hope of winning.
An unforgettable moment of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games came when Eric 'The Eel' Moussambani from Equatorial Guinea competed in the 100m freestyle heat. His time was more than twice that the competitors but he set a new personal best and national record. Most of the people watching in the stands were better swimmers than Eric but they wildly cheered his every stroke as if he was about to win a gold medal. He became famous around the world and left Australia as a folk hero.
At the end of the day, there is nothing uniquely Australian about supporting the underdog. We've seen it played out in numerous Hollywood movies and it's the reason why the Die Hard trilogy was so hugely popular. The difference between Hollywood and real-life Australia is that support for the underdog isn't conditional on victory. Providing they have given their all and not surrendered, they are still considered a success. Again, I'm sure this is true in many other cultures around the world.
So, what influence does celebrating the underdog have for our daily lives? In a nutshell, it encourages the underdogs to believe in themselves and have an attempt at something. Most people in society can be regarded as underdogs so this mentality has a very motivating effect on everyone. In the sporting arena, Australians always believe they have a chance of winning and strive for victory. This has resulted in them becoming one of the best sporting nations on earth but the same attitude can also be seen in politics, business and the entertainment industry.
When it comes to creating wealth, we find ourselves pitted against established businesses and large corporations. We are all underdogs in this respect. But the evolution of the internet has opened the way for the little guy to create something for himself. Technology has levelled the playing field when it comes to creating wealth. It offers the opportunity to overcome the odds, gain a great lifestyle and the admiration of everyone around you. It's a competitive environment but as we've seen, it's one that the underdog thrives in.
If you accept the challenge in the true spirit of the underdog, you are a winner before you've even started. There are numerous examples throughout history of the underdog prevailing. Some of the greatest military battles were won against all odds and many of sports most glorious moments have seen the less favoured team or individual win. It is the essence of life itself and proof that the race isn't always to the swiftest, the battle to the strongest nor riches to men of understanding.
Embrace exciting opportunities that you find and believe in yourself. If I can complete the biblical reference from above, it reads that favour isn't always to men of skill because time and chance happens to all. Let this be your inspiration to create something special and live life just as God himself intended.

Q: FFMPEG filter_complex wih speedup and subtitles and scaling Hi I am trying to convert a file to a specific framerate and remove any jittering, jumping of the screen. I also try to boost the volume and add a subtitle overlay. I get an error with the curent line than it is not allowed to use complex_filter in combination with vf and af. as an extra I also would like to add text in the left corner (this i did not try yet) and would want the screen to be sized to full hd (changed scale to 1920:1080 but no succes).
ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -r 25 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.959*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=1.0427[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" -vf subtitles=sub.srt,scale=1920:1080 -af volume=2 -strict -2 -preset veryfast movie_new.mp4

Got it!
New:
ffmpeg -i inside.mp4 -r 25 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.959*PTS[i];[i]scale=1920:1080[j];[j]subtitles=inside.srt[k];[0:a]atempo=1.0427[p];[p]volume=2[q]" -map "[k]" -map "[q]" -strict -2 -preset veryfast inside_new.mp4

But now there is a new issue. Subs out of sync :P is there a easy fix for this or do i first need to encode without subs then resync then encode with subs?
found this link by the way Subtitle Resync Tool
moviespeed is changed by 0.959. is there a calculation i can do to adjust the subtitles by x miliseconds?
EDIT: Got the subtitles fixed with subtitle workshop. Was just a small setting to change which directly shifted all the text :)

A: You can try below command as ffmpeg restricts using -vf and -af options to use with -filter_complex:
    ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -i sub.srt -r 25 -filter_complex \
           "[0:v]setpts=0.959*PTS[i];[i]scale=1920:1080[j];[j][1:s]overlay[k];\
            [0:a]atempo=1.0427[p];[p]volume=2[q]" -map "[k]" -map "[q]" \
            -strict -2 -preset veryfast movie_new.mp4

*

*[0:v] refers to first input i.e, movie.mp4

*[1:s] refers to second input i.e., subtitles input file (sub.srt)

Filters need to be concatenated in the desired fashion, not necessarily as above. Actually -vf and -af serve the same purpose as -filter_complex, but in simplest manner. That's why ffmpeg resticts using -filter_complex in combination with -vf and/or -af

The Battle of Algiers - Criterion Collection
Criterion // Unrated // October 12, 2004
Review by David Walker | posted October 11, 2004 | E-mail the Author
Nearly four decades ago, Italian filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers was considered one of the most provocative, politically incendiary movies of its time.The Black Panther Party used it as a training film, the French government banned it, and lovers of cinema revered it as a masterpiece. Last year, in 2003, the Pentagon hosted a special screening of the film, in hopes it would shed valuable light on how to deal with rebel forces in Iraq. Now The Battle of Algiers is back in a beautifully packaged addition to the Criterion Collection, where it can be studied, appreciated and, no doubt, argued about.
Chronicling the 1954-1962 revolution that would eventually lead to the end of French colonial rule in Algeria, The Battle of Algiers is a bleak, uncompromising portrait of terrorist warfare and a war on terror.The film starts with French soldiers interrogating a captured Algerian prisoner. The man's will has been broken, and his weary, tear-streaked face alludes to the torture he has endured. The French soldiers, led by the charismatic Col. Mathieu (Jean Martin), assure their prisoner he has done the right thing. But the emotionally dead gaze in the man's eyes says something to the contrary. As Mathieu leads his men on a raid to find rebel leader Ali La Pointe (Brahim Haggiag), the magnitude of the betrayal that occurred moments before the camera entered the interrogation room becomes painfully clear.
Hiding behind a false wall in Algiers' Muslim Casbah, Ali and his three companions in the Algerian National Liberation Front, or FLN, await their fate. As Mathieu and his men rampage through the apartment concealing them, Ali and his fellow rebels—which include a woman and a young boy—pray for an escape that will never come. As the moment of their impending capture—or death—comes ever closer, Ali reflects on the course of his life leading up to this point.
A communist who fought against the fascists during World War II and a student of Italian neo-realism, Pontecorvo brought both an artistic aesthetic and a political ideology to The Battle of Algiers. Shot in stark black-and-white, Pontecorvo's film bears an uncanny resemblance to a documentary. During its initial release in 1965, the film's distributor added a disclaimer: "Not one foot of newsreel or documentary film has been used."
Such a statement might seem merely a hyperbolic marketing stunt, until you see the gritty reality Pontecorvo portrays. From the frenzied panic that follows a series of terrorist bombings to the throngs of Muslim dissidents who take to the streets to oppose French rule, much of The Battle of Algiers appears composed of actual riot footage captured just as the shit was hitting the fan. Pontecorvo made a film of historical propaganda by working closely with the newly liberated Algerian government, as well as Saadi Yacef, the former leader of the FLN, who basically plays himself in the movie. But his roots in neorealism kept the director from crafting a film that paints its characters in absolutes. Instead, Pontecorvo and co-writer Franco Solinas create a world of moral ambiguity, in which the heroes are terrorists who resort to killing innocent civilians to advance their cause, and the villains are French soldiers who also resort to killing innocents to achieve their goals. No one is entirely good or bad, both sides are right and wrong. And while the film and the filmmaker clearly take the side of the FLN, Pontecorvo is careful to give the The Battle of Algiers enough sense of balance that it endure more like a historical document, and less like biased propaganda.
With the current situation in Iraq, and the Pentagon's screening of The Battle of Algiers, much has been made of the film's relevance to current events. Perhaps the most significant theme in that discussion is why the French refused to support military action in Iraq. What they learned during the Algerian conflict, and what is so brilliantly conveyed in this film, is that winning battles is not the same as winning a war.
To that end, The Battle of Algiers does not serve either as a great training film for political revolutionaries or as a helpful tool for understanding how to combat terrorists. Instead, it is a brilliant piece of cinema that offers a cautionary tale about the high cost of violence as a means to an end.
The Battle of Algiers is presented 1.85:1 widescreen and is enhanced for 16:9 televisions. The picture transfer is amazing, capturing the gritty beauty of cinematographer Marcello Gatti's camera work.
The original score for The Battle of Algiers was composed by Ennio Morricone, and even though the audio on the disc is presented Doldy Digital Mono, it sounds fantastic. Morricone's score is nothing short of brilliant.
Okay, this is a part of the Criterion Collection, which means one thing – a ton of bonus features. In the case of The Battle of Algiers, there's two extra discs of bonus material, and a 56-page book. Honestly, the first disc that simply features the beautiful transfer of the film, a production gallery and trailers would be enough to make me happy. The second disc, Pontecorvo and the Film," is the better of the two bonus discs. Gillo Pontecorvo: The Dictatorship of Truth is an informative 37-minute documentary from 1992 that explores the life and career of the filmmaker, and serves as a great introduction to the man, his work and his politics. Five Directors features interview clips with Spike Lee, Mira Nair, Julian Schnabel, Steven Soderbergh, and Oliver Stone as they discuss the impact and importance of The Battle of Algiers. The disc's other documentary is a 51-minute "making of" featurette that gives a ton of background on The Battle of Algiers, and includes new interviews with much of the cast and crew, including Pontecorvo, Morricone, and Yacef.
By the time you get to the third disc, "The Film and History," chances are you'll be pretty burned out. The third disc features four documentaries, focusing more on the history of the Algerian conflict and terrorism. The 1992 documentaryGillo Pontecorvo's Return to Algiers is the one that most closely relates to the film, and is also the one most likely to appeal to fans of The Battle of Algiers. The other documentaries, while being informative and interesting, verge on being overkill, and don't beg for immediate viewing.

I don't want us to look back and say this was all for nothing. We carried each other through our first years away from our family, and nothing was telling us these feelings would fade. Could anyone blame us for getting married after five years together? It seemed right.
We can listen to "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" and feel sad for what is no longer there – but it was there. We have those memories, we can know that there is someone out there who really got us better than anyone else, and knowing that means knowing there are other people out there, too. There is love in us. We shouldn't be ashamed because we got so close that we imagined devoting our entire lives to each other. That closeness is such a beautiful thing, even if it didn't last as long as we had hoped.
I guess the concept of marriage is tainted for us now. How will either of us learn to trust again? No, how can I ever trust myself to know what I really want? I was so sure of this, but I was the one to ask for the end. I don't want to hurt anyone else – I'm damaged goods.
But, no, I'm capable of more. I can rebuild myself, and you can, too. We don't know how to move forward, but we are moving forward. Every new day we reconstruct ourselves further. We can choose to be ashamed of that label, of being 'divorced,' but it's a sign that we once allowed ourselves to love someone fully. There's nothing wrong with having been young and in love – this can be such a lonely world, and you gave me freedom from that feeling for so long.
Even as we soon part ways, you going off to either claim your PhD or moving back in with your family for a bit, me staying behind in this same college town, a part of you will remain within me for life. I assure you, there's no replacing what we had together – but new towers will dot our skylines.

Home / Debt / Chicago Is Going Bankrupt
Chicago Is Going Bankrupt
Written by Gary North on May 16, 2015
Rahm Emanuel was re-elected Mayor of Chicago. Lucky Rahm! He will get to oversee the official bankruptcy of the city.
He will go down as the mayor who took the third largest city in the United States into financial Armageddon. The man who said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," will get to test his theory.
The bondholders will not agree with him. But bondholders are the least of his worries. They do not vote in Chicago. They merely trust in Chicago.
Blind faith.
The city keeps getting its credit ranking lowered by ratings agencies. With each decline in its debt rating, the city's interest rate climbs for new bond issues. With each tick up of the interest rate, the market value of existing Chicago bonds ticks down.
There is an old definition of bankruptcy. Ernest Hemmingway put it in the mouth of one of his characters in The Sun Also Rises A character had gone bankrupt. A friend asked him how this happened. The answer is classic: "Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly."
Chicago is in the "gradually" stage. This will not last much longer.
As City Hall races to avoid a financial collapse, the first indications are coming of how big the hit to Chicago taxpayers will be, and the figure indeed is eye-popping.
According to Chicago's Bill Brandt, a municipal finance expert who was involved in the recent Detroit bankruptcy, the market probably will allow Chicago to refinance up to $2.2 billion in variable rate debt, short-term loans and swaps that now are subject to demand for immediate repayment, thanks to the decision by Moody's Investors Service earlier in the week to drop Chicago debt to junk level. "My sense is that this is a situation where serious people will be sobered by the consequences of pre-emptory action," said Brandt, who is president of Chicago-based DSI and served two stints as chairman of the Illinois Finance Authority.
But there will be a price, Brandt said. The cost "could be as much as a couple of hundred basis points" more than Chicago normally would have to pay.
So, if the city proceeds with plans to begin refinancing up to $900 million in variable-rate debt next week, trading relatively low-cost callable debt for higher priced long-term bonds, the extra cost could be as much as $18 million a year, by Brandt's calculations.
And that's just to refinance the $900 million. To close out its positions on hundreds of millions of dollars of interest-rate swap deals originally entered into by former Mayor Richard M. Daley, the city will have to come up with more than $200 million. City officials say agreements are in hand to close out about half of those deals, with the remainder expected to close around June 8.
By comparison, $18 million a year is almost what is spent annually to operate the entire City Council and its 50 aldermen.
There is no sign of reversal. That which is statistically inevitable is unfolding before our eyes.
Yet bondholders do not believe these numbers. "There is still hope." There is no mad dash to sell.
Hope springs eternal.
Fools and their money may not be soon parted, but they are eventually parted: gradually, then suddenly.

If you're experiencing any of these things, it may be time to change the way you train.
Sadly, achieving bigger muscles and a fitter physique isn't as simple as randomly selecting a handful of exercises and squeezing out a rep or two with utter disregard for strategy or form. That means unless you have mutant genetics, sparking continuous muscle growth or fat loss requires strict attention to detail in terms of your training and recovery. Neglecting to do so will leave you frustrated from lack of progress, and quite possibly, on the shelf with an injury.
To help you avoid those drawbacks, we spoke with CrossFit coach Patrick Solano, CSCS. Here are six signs you need to take a look at your training style and make some key adjustments.
If you're experiencing pain of course you're not lifting correctly, right? Not necessarily. Muscle soreness (which we'll cover later) differs from joint pain. The latter of which can compromise your body's ability to perform properly while escalating your risk of injury. That said, some people train with bad form and manage to avoid injury. There might be no immediate negative effects present, but there are consequences down the line.
When you fail to make gains to achieve your fitness goals, it's referred to as a plateau. If you're not carefully monitoring how you train and recover, plateaus can become a common nuisance and a maddening source of irritation.
Along with the changing the exercises you choose to target a certain muscle or muscle group, you also need to switch variables like the intensity, set and rep schemes, and weight used.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)—known colloquially as: Ouch, I'm sore today from a tough lift—is common and typically occurs 24 to 48 hours after you put muscle under more stress than they're used to handling.
Remember what we said about DOMS? Well, being sore to the point where you need a stretcher to cart you from point A to point B isn't good either. While microscopic tears in the muscle tissue can translate into gains when proper recovery methods are utilized, overdoing it can be a determent to your fitness goals.
If you're getting stronger but also seeing your gut expand, two things are most likely occurring: "Your physical activity isn't matching your caloric intake, and you're not performing enough multi-joint movements to burn enough calories," he says.


What exactly is a CO-OP. A co-op refers to a co-operative sort of ownership whereby a creating is owned by a corporation (the co-op). The possible buyer of a co-op apartment is obtaining in to the corporation and for that explanation turning out to be a shareholder in that corporation. The co-op in turn leases the personal apartment back again to your personal. Like a end result, the ownership and funding of a co-op is much a lot more difficult than it might be for just about any other type of housing. The common co-op transaction entails a purchaser, seller, co-op board as well as the management firm.
What's a SHARE loan. Whenever a homeowner buys both a condo or single family members members residence, a loan is usually provided to guide the individual obtain the house. That loan is referred to as a house loan. When acquiring a co-op, the loan construction seems the same and is frequently called a mortgage loan but, the fact is, the mortgage is ordinarily a share mortgage. For that motive that the buyer is obtaining shares with the corporation, these are borrowing the money to obtain these shares. The mortgage is secured from the shares is hence termed a share loan.
HOW lengthy does the process take to get Co-op Funding. The process is decided by one) Our processing in the mortgage loan software; two) The pace where the buyer can meet with all the co-op board and three) The completion and recording on the recognition agreement. The normal method for acquiring a letter of dedication is comparable to that of a condo or single family members home. Alternatively, only instantly correct right after the letter of commitment is issued, can the board interview get place. Closings might every so often be delayed, relying on how ordinarily the co-op board meets. We operate with nearly each single borrower to establish once the board application is because of for his or her person transaction.

Marketing polityczny – jedna z form komunikacji politycznej, w której następuje oferowanie, tworzenie i wymiana wartości między uczestnikami rynku politycznego. Sprowadza się ona do wykorzystania zespołu technik społecznych, teorii oraz metod zaczerpniętych z marketingu klasycznego, w celu stworzenia odpowiedniego obrazu kandydata, wypromowania jego osoby, wyróżnienia go spośród jego rywali oraz uzyskania jak największego poparcia przy jak najmniejszym zużyciu środków.

Definicja
Marketingiem politycznym nazywamy zespół technik, które wykorzystuje się do stworzenia odpowiedniego obrazu kandydata wśród jego elektoratu, wypromowania jego osoby, wyróżnienia go spośród rywali i uzyskania określonej liczby głosów przy jak najmniejszym zużyciu środków (lub przy poniesieniu określonych środków uzyskać maksymalną liczbę głosów).

Marketing polityczny zajmuje się również badaniem procesów wymiany między podmiotami politycznymi a ich środowiskiem, jak i podmiotów politycznych pomiędzy nimi samymi.

Działania marketingowe powinny być prowadzone nie tylko podczas wyborów, gdy następuje ich szczególna intensyfikacja, ale przez cały czas, a politycy są wkomponowywani w obraz partii politycznej, w której działają. W marketingu politycznym stosuje się nowoczesne metody promocji, zarządzania wizerunkiem oraz wzbogacania własnej marki.

Główne elementy
 strategie wyborcze (ang. elections strategy),
 wizerunek telewizyjny kandydatów/partii (ang. TV image),
 polityczny public relations (ang. political PR),
 miejsce w sondażach (ang. polls).

Historia marketingu politycznego
Pojęcie marketingu zdefiniowano po raz pierwszy w 1941 roku, a zastosowany został w praktyce w 1952 roku w wyborach prezydenckich w USA. W 1959 roku został po raz pierwszy wykorzystany w Europie, podczas wyborów parlamentarnych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Od lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX w. jest powszechnie stosowany w krajach Europy Wschodniej, a także w Rosji, zarówno w wyborach prezydenckich, jak i wyborach parlamentarnych i lokalnych.

Wraz z rozwojem technik marketingu politycznego zaczęły powstawać specjalności zawodowe z nimi związane:
 specjaliści do spraw komunikowania masowego,
 analitycy rynku politycznego,
 specjaliści od badań opinii publicznej,
 specjaliści w dziedzinie public relations,
 technicy reklamy,
 specjaliści w zakresie kupowania czasu antenowego i przestrzeni reklamowej (z ang. media buyers),
 trenerzy w zakresie umiejętności mówienia i publicznych wystąpień (ang. coach speaker).

Partie polityczne coraz częściej korzystają z usług agencji specjalizujących się w marketingu politycznym.

Strategie
W marketingu politycznym wyróżnia się następujące rodzaje strategii:
 Ze względu na działania na rynku politycznym:
 defensywną – działania skupiają się na utrzymaniu elektoratu,
 ofensywną – dominują przedsięwzięcia mające zdobyć głosy nowych wyborców.
 Ze względu na przedmiot:
 strategię sprzedaży programu politycznego – polega ona przede wszystkim na opracowaniu i opublikowaniu programu partii. Następnie przygotowywane jest główne hasło programowe, umieszczane na plakatach i ulotkach reklamowych,
 strategię sprzedaży polityka – w tej strategii główny nacisk kładzie się na wygląd oraz odbiór psychologiczny polityka. Kształtowany jest jego pozytywny wizerunek, którego istotnym elementem jest odpowiednio przedstawiony życiorys kandydata. Uwydatnia się pozytywne oraz ukrywa niewygodne fakty z życia polityka. W tym celu stosuje się niedomówienia oraz odpowiednią selekcję informacji,
 strategię sprzedaży partii politycznej – polega ona na nadaniu partii odpowiedniej nazwy, loga i skrótu (ważne jest aby był łatwy do skandowania m.in. na wiecach), zapewnieniu ciągłej obecności w środkach masowego przekazu, odpowiedni dobór lidera partii oraz odpowiedniej jej prezentacji. Ważnym elementem tej strategii jest odpowiednio prowadzona kampania wyborcza.
 Ze względu na zakres działań:
 skoncentrowana – dotyczy jednego segmentu rynku politycznego,
 zróżnicowana – skupia się na kilku rynkach i segmentach,
 niezróżnicowana – dotyczy kilku segmentów w obrębie jednego rynku.
 Ze względu na charakter działań:
 pozytywna,
 negatywna.
 Ze względu na działania względem rynku:
 penetracji – skupienie się na zgłębieniu obecnego rynku,
 rozwoju rynku – zdobycie nowego rynku i poszerzenie go.
 Ze względu na ofertę:
 wzrostu – skupienie się na wzbogaceniu oferty,
 nowych przedsięwzięć – propozycja nowych, ryzykownych ofert politycznych.
 Ze względu na podmiot:
 utwardzania – wzmocnienie postaw wyborczych własnego elektoratu,
 poszerzania – mające na celu zdobycie nowych głosów, głównie osób niezdecydowanych (strategia często opiera się na emocjach),
 odwracania – zniechęcanie elektoratu kontrkandydata do oddawania na niego głosów (często staje się strategią negatywną),
 neutralizowania – zniechęcanie zwolenników kontrkandydata do udziału w wyborach.

Narzędzia reklamy
 Audiowizualne i audytywne:
 udział w programach telewizyjnych lub radiowych (publicystycznych, informacyjnych, talk-show),
 spoty reklamowe (płatne, bezpłatne),
 reklamy w radiu,
 piosenka wyborcza,
 automat dzwoniący.
 Wizualne:
 prasa,
 ulotki, broszury,
 plakaty,
 billboardy,
 listy do wyborców,
 reklamy ruchome.
 Bezpośredni kontakt z wyborcami:
 door-to-door (marketing bezpośredni),
 debata, wiece,
 telemarketing.
 Internet:
 strony WWW,
 reklama na stronach WWW,
 blogi polityczne, polityków,
 mailing,
 profile w portalach społecznościowych.

Wybory prezydenckie w USA a reklama w mediach społecznościowych
W 2017 roku podczas wyborów prezydenckich w USA na portalu społecznościowym Facebook pojawiały się reklamy polityczne. Po wyborach okazało się, że część z nich nie była uruchamiana przez żaden z komitetów wyborczych. Wybuchała afera. O prowadzenie reklamy politycznej kierowanej do amerykańskich wyborców zostali oskarżeni Rosjanie.

Facebook zaczął przykładać o wiele większą wagę do wiarygodności podmiotów, które prowadzą reklamy na portalu. Dla partii politycznych na całym świecie obowiązkowa stała się weryfikacja. Dodatkowo użytkownicy dostali opcję sprawdzenia kto jest autorem konkretnej reklamy.

Marketing polityczny w Polsce
Po raz pierwszy techniki marketingu politycznego zostały zastosowane w Polsce w pierwszej kampanii wyborczej odbywającej się w demokratycznej Polsce – w czerwcu 1989 roku.
Do prowadzenia kampanii politycznej w 1989 roku "Solidarność" zaangażowała specjalistę od marketingu politycznego, Francuza Jacques Séguéla. Każdy z kandydatów Solidarności miał zdjęcie z Lechem Wałęsą – znany przywódca opozycji miał być ich przepustką do parlamentu. Natomiast podczas wyborów prezydenckich w 1995 roku Jacques Seguel kreował wizerunek polityczny Aleksandra Kwaśniewskiego.

Lillian Marie Disney ( Bounds; February 15, 1899December 16, 1997) was an American ink artist at the Disney Studios and the wife of Walt Disney from 1925 until his death in 1966. Born in Spalding, Idaho, Disney graduated from high school in Lapwai before moving to Lewiston to attend college. She left Idaho in 1923 to move to southern California, where she would meet future husband Walt while working as a secretary at Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Lillian and Walt married on July 13, 1925, and had two daughters, Diane Marie Disney (1933–2013), their only biological child, and Sharon Mae Disney (1936–1993), who was adopted. Lillian and Walt had ten grandchildren, including seven by Diane and three by Sharon. During a train ride in 1928, Walt revealed to his wife a new animated character, whom he called "Mortimer Mouse". Lillian suggested that he rename his character "Mickey Mouse", a name which has since become synonymous with the Disney brand.

Walt Disney died from lung cancer on December 15, 1966, after which Lillian remarried John L. Truyens (a Southern California real estate developer) from 1969 until his death in 1981. On December 15, 1997, Lillian Disney suffered a stroke and died the following morning in Los Angeles at age 98.

Early years
Born Lillian Marie Bounds in Spalding, Idaho, she grew up in nearby Lapwai on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, where her father Willard worked as a blacksmith and federal marshal. She was the youngest of ten children, and the family struggled financially; her father died when she was seventeen. After graduation from Lapwai High School, Bounds and her mother moved down to Lewiston; she attended a year of business college then moved to southern California in 1923 to live with her sister  She was working at the Disney Studio in "ink and paint" as a secretary when she met Walt.

Marriage to Walt Disney
Lillian Bounds and Walt Disney married on July 13, 1925, in Idaho at her brother's home. The wedding was officiated by the rector of Lewiston's Episcopal Church of the Nativity. Walt Disney's parents did not attend. As Bounds's father was deceased, her uncle, who was chief of the Lewiston Fire Department, gave the bride away. She wore a dress that she had made herself. The couple had two daughters, Diane Marie Disney  and Sharon Mae Disney  the latter of whom was adopted. Disney had ten grandchildren: seven by Diane and her husband (Ron W. Miller), and three by Sharon and her two husbands, Robert Brown and William Lund.

Recognition

Her film career includes work as an ink artist on the film Plane Crazy.  Disney is credited with having named her husband's most famous character, Mickey Mouse, during a train trip from New York to California in 1928. Walt showed a drawing of the cartoon mouse to his wife and told her that he was going to name it "Mortimer Mouse".  Lillian replied that the name sounded "too depressing" and she was very proud to have suggested the name "Mickey Mouse" instead of Mortimer.

At the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, Walt Disney named his 1:8-scale live steam locomotive the "Lilly Belle" in his wife's honor. Additionally, Walt named one of the Disneyland Railroad cars the "Lilly Belle" in her honor, and the Walt Disney World Railroad has a locomotive named "Lilly Belle", where each locomotive is named for someone who greatly contributed to the Walt Disney Company. Walt Disney Imagineering created "The Empress Lilly", a paddle steamer replica, at Walt Disney World in Disney Springs and Disney christened it on May 1, 1977.  Disney was inducted into the Disney Legends in 2003.

Later years and death
Walt Disney died of lung cancer on December 15, 1966, aged 65, and Lillian was married to John L. Truyens from May 1969 until his death on February 24, 1981, aged 73.

In 1987, she pledged a $50 million gift towards the construction of a new concert hall in Los Angeles. After several delays, the Walt Disney Concert Hall opened in 2003, six years after her death. She also helped fund the founding of The California Institute of the Arts.

In the 1990s, reflecting on her 41-year marriage to Walt Disney, she said, "We shared a wonderful, exciting life, and we loved every minute of it. He was a wonderful husband to me, and wonderful and joyful father and grandfather."

Disney suffered a stroke on December 15, 1997, which was exactly 31 years after the death of her first husband, Walt. She died the following morning at her home in West Los Angeles at the age of 98. She was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Wood is produced by designating trees to be chopped down. Any dwarf with the wood cutting labor enabled and access to a battle axe will cut down the trees, which will turn one tree into one log, the raw form of wood.
"Timber" is the name of the ninth month of the dwarven calendar, covering late Fall.
Trees start their lives as saplings. Saplings cannot be cut down until they mature into full-grown trees, which can take several years. Saplings will randomly appear in appropriate outdoors soil to provide a slow (but steady) supply of wood. If you have discovered a cave pool or cave river, certain (muddy/muddied) areas underground will spawn tower-cap mushrooms, which can also be harvested for wood. You can also muddy soil similar to preparing it for farming and leave it unattended for a chance at growth. Fully-grown trees will impede units' movement, so be sure to clear them out of active corridors.
Besides cutting down trees and tower-caps, wood (and some wooden goods, such as barrels) is often available from the elven, dwarven and human caravans. Wood can also be purchased before embarking. Wood is quite inexpensive, costing only 3☼ per log, and you may wish to bring a large number of logs when embarking in order to jump-start your wood industry. The wagon you start the game with can also be dismantled for three tower-cap logs.
Without wood, you cannot generate or transfer power.
These can be very effective defenses when traps fail.
If you want obsidian short swords, they require one obsidian stone and one wood each (these swords likely consist of a thin wooden "paddle" with sharp flakes of obsidian forming sharp edges, like the Aztec macuahuitl).
If you have access to obsidian, these can be a great source of quick weaponry early in the game, before any steel works are up to speed. Even on a tree-lite map, each weapon takes less wood to produce than a steel weapon (unless you are using magma to fuel your smelters and forges and have access to bituminous coal and lignite).
It is simpler to make items from wood.
For instance, it only takes one log to produce a bin, barrel, bucket, or cage; but if you forge them instead then they'll take three metal bars.
Wood can be burnt to produce charcoal and ash, which are important ingredients in other tasks such as smelting ore, forging metal items, glass making, fertilizer for crops, and other uses.
All metalworks (smelters, forges) and glassworks are either coal-fueled or magma-fueled. If you are planning on having any sort of serious metal or glass production, then you're going to need a lot of wood, or magma (and charcoal or coal for steel).
Everything other than beds, axles, windmills, water wheels, obsidian shortswords, siege engine parts, and ballista bolts can be made without the use of wood.
If you have magma then you don't need wood for fuel. If you have coal, you don't need (as much) wood to produce charcoal for steel. If you have both, you don't need wood to produce metal or steel products.
You can supplement your wood supply to a small degree via trading.
If you're lucky enough to play in an area with an underground pool or underground river then you can grow your own wood supply underground with tower-caps.
Every different type of log (chestnut, ash, maple, tower-cap, etc.) is functionally identical except for their weight. The weight of a 'unit' of each type of wood is half their density; the densities for each individual type of wood is listed under the appropriate tree. Wood has a default [SOLID_DENSITY] of 500, making it about three times lighter than most stone and fifteen times lighter than iron. Feather tree wood is extremely light, with a density of 100, and glumprong wood is the heaviest, with a density of 1200. However, since average wood is relatively light to begin with, with the possible exception of wood hauling, this makes (almost?) no practical difference in the daily routine of a fortress or your dwarves.
Do I really need wood?
Where can I get wood?
Where can I get even more wood?
Is it possible to grow trees underground?
How long do tower-caps take to grow?
Do dead trees spawn new trees?
How much protection does wood armor provide?

Group of Five conference races heading down to the wire
Eddie Timanus
As the campaign heads down the stretch, the contenders for conference championships can now see the finish line. Some still have some horses in front of them, of course, but most know what they need to do with not many games remaining.
We'll get to the power leagues tomorrow. For now, here's how the group-of-five FBS conference races shape up.
American — Navy is a game clear of both Houston and Tulsa in the West Division and would take a head-to-head tiebreaker against either. So all the Midshipmen have to do is beat either East Carolina or SMU, and they'll have a chance to play for their first ever conference title after the program's long history of independence. They'd like to win both, of course, to secure hosting privileges for the championship game.
Temple is in the driver's seat in the East. The Owls are tied with South Florida but own a head-to-head win against the Bulls. They finish against Tulane and East Carolina, who have only one league win between them.
Field expands in Football Four Playoff Projection
Conference USA — Louisiana Tech has matters wrapped up in the West. The Bulldogs will also lock up home-field advantage for the championship game if they win their regular-season finale on Nov. 25 against Southern Miss.
In the East, Western Kentucky is in command with one game to go. The Hilltoppers will secure a trip to the title game and a rematch with La. Tech if they get past Marshall on Nov. 26. But should WKU stumble, they'll leave the door open for Old Dominion. The Monarchs lost to WKU, so they must win their last two against Florida Atlantic and Florida International and get help from the Thundering Herd.
Heisman Survey: History on front-runner Lamar Jackson's side
Mid-American — Believe it or not, the first team with a chance to secure a division title in the MAC is not unbeaten Western Michigan. The Ohio Bobcats have a chance to lock up the East with a victory Tuesday night at Central Michigan. They'll get another shot next Tuesday at home against Akron if they come up short, but one more win will do it since they have a head-to-head win against second-place Miami (Ohio). The RedHawks, however, still have a lot to accomplish in their final game next Tuesday against Ball State. If they can win it, they become bowl eligible despite starting the season 0-6.
As for Western Michigan, the Broncos host Buffalo Saturday with the ESPN College GameDay crew coming to Kalamazoo. But they could still be chased down by Toledo in the MAC West. The Rockets play at WMU a week from Friday but must first get by Ball State Wednesday night to set up a showdown for the division.
Ohio State rises after wild weekend in NCAA 1-128 Re-Rank
Mountain West — San Diego State has clinched the MWC West and can secure home field in the title game if they can win their last two. The first of those is the toughest at Wyoming this Saturday, then the Aztecs finish at home against Colorado State.
The Mountain Division is a bit more complicated with Boise State, Wyoming and New Mexico knotted at 5-1 with two games to go. Wyoming, thanks to its earlier triumph against Boise, can win the division on its own. But it will be anything but easy; the Cowboys must go to UNM after hosting San Diego State. Should Wyoming falter in either of those contests, Boise State would gain the inside track thanks to its earlier win against the Lobos. The Broncos host UNLV before finishing at Air Force. New Mexico will get a crack at Wyoming, but the Lobos need a win at Colorado State this weekend then must hope for a Boise stumble.
BEST OF WEEK 11 IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Sun Belt — The SBC does not stage a championship game, so many of its members have three games remaining. But the last two teams without a league loss square off this weekend when Troy hosts Arkansas State. The Trojans got by Appalachian State 28-24 to hand the Mountaineers their first SBC loss this past Saturday, and a win against Arkansas State would put them in firm control of the league. The RedWolves don't play Appalachian, but they still have a couple of road games left even if they get past Troy.

Culture & Cuisine of France
February 26, 2018 @ 12:00 pm PST
« Orange County Literary Lunch Adventure
Thailand Adventure by the Book »
In Partnership with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at San Diego State University
Adventures by the Book™ is honored to partner with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at San Diego State University for a Culture & Cuisine of France Edventure at Le Parfait Paris. Join us for an authentic French meal with Mary Duncan, author and creator of the Paris Writers Press.
While enjoying this delicious meal, contemplate Parisian culture with a woman who splits her time between sunny Southern California and Paris. In her memoir, Henry Miller is Under My Bed: People and Places On the Way to Paris, Mary chronicles the many influences in her life that led her to France. Paris has always sung a siren song to artist, literary minds, and those looking for more in life. Before they hosted Mary Duncan, the cafes on the streets of France's capitol city have held legends from Dalí and Cassat to Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
On this immersive cultural Adventure, meet the famous, brilliant and dangerous people who influenced Mary's life as she made her way to the City of Light: from Henry Miller to Hugh Hefner; Francis Crick to Max Lerner; Simone de Beauvoir to Kafka's Last Mistress; Irish Republican Army Members to Iranian and Nicaraguan soldiers. In her evocative memoir, this granddaughter of a bootlegger tells the story of how she went out and got a life.
Event includes food, drink, tax & gratuity, book discussion, Q&A, book signing, and the opportunity to meet the author up close and personal in an intimate and authentic setting.
Mary Duncan, a native San Diegan, grew up in National City, where Henry Miller said he found his identity. In searching for her identity, she has traveled to numerous countries and prefers to be where there is action, diversity and controversy. Her research specialty as a professor at San Diego State University was the "troubles" in Belfast, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republican Army. She focused on the conflict's impact on children and the internal organization of the I.R.A. and its cell groups. In addition she has researched children and play patterns in Mexican squatter villages, Arab Tourism in London and international terrorism.
In 1982, she moved to La Jolla, a seaside community in San Diego. She met people who introduced her to the worlds of Henry Miller, Simone de Beauvoir, Colette and other writers. And it is in these worlds that she found relief from the stress and uncertainty that emanated from her Belfast research. Paris and La Jolla entered her life almost simultaneously. In Paris she created a circle of friends and started building a foundation for a life in the City of Light. After her marriage to Yuri Loskutov, a Russian, she lived in Moscow several months of the year and founded Shakespeare and Company Bookstore Moscow. Since 2000, she has mainly lived in Paris. In 2005, she purchased an archive consisting of audio tapes, photographs and correspondence related to the life of Henry Miller. Some of these materials are described in her memoir, "Henry Miller is Under My Bed: People and Place on the Way to Paris." (2011). She is a member of the Advisory Committee for the Henry Miller Memorial Library in BIg Sur, California and is is a patron of the Shakespeare and Company Literary Festival. In 2008, she founded the Paris Writers Group and the Paris Writer's Press. In between her writing and travels, she continues to live in Paris.

All Kester knew was that the woman who just had been buried, Margaret "Peggy" Livingstone, was a longtime Department of Mental Health employee, McGlothin said.
In his opening statement, Kester, who is representing himself, acknowledged he had a longstanding grievance against the Department of Mental Health.
"They made up malicious lies against me," Kester told the jury. One of those lies, he said, was that he had sexually abused his late daughter.
After the victims were struck in broad daylight at Greenlawn Memorial Park, the vehicle that Kester was driving came to a halt amid overturned tombstones. Police arrived on the scene and took Kester, who was still in the Cadillac, into custody. There are no other suspects.
In pretrial proceedings, Kester was deemed mentally competent to stand trial and to represent himself. He has two veteran "stand-by" lawyers, Columbia attorneys John Delgado and Bill Nettles, sitting behind him to help him if he has a question. Delgado and Nettles, a former U.S. attorney, were going to represent Kester, but he told them last week he wanted to be his own lawyer.
Prosecutors have said Kester learned about Livingston's funeral by seeing her obituary in the newspaper.
Prosecutors said they could call as many as 30 witnesses or more during the trial, including more than 15 people who were at the cemetery when the attack happened.
In addition to multiple eyewitnesses, prosecutors said they have have analyzed the "black box" in the Cadillac, a device that records the vehicle's speed, braking, and other pre-crash and crash data, and plan to present their findings to the jury.
Kester is expected to present to the jury the story of his travails with the Department of Mental Health.
Besides McGlothin, assistant solicitor Vance Eaton is trying the case. Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman is presiding.
