1.Official correspondence sent as ordinary mail did not need to be franked; it had "Free Frank" privilege. Bur if the mail was Registered, then the registration fee had to be paid at the post office counter and postage stamps applied. The post office could be financially compensated by central government for carrying Free Frank mail, based on volume of mail and so on.
2. Free Frank privilege extended only to Inland mail. Foreign mail, ordinary or registered, had to be paid for and franked with stamps to cover the cost of the foreign part of the journey.
3. Free frank privilege was claimed by means of a Seal applied on the reverse of the item of mail and by means of a Registry number written at bottom left on the front of an item. Seals could be paper seals, wax seals or could be applied with a handstamp. The Registry book ensured accountability and was an anti-fraud measure.I don't think I have ever seen a Free Frank item charged Postage Due for improper use of the system.
The paper seals have from time to time been popular with collectors and occasionally they have been passed off as official stamps. Early Zemstvo catalogues listed the pretty seals of Ananiev Zemstvo as Official Stamps and Agathon Faberge had a fine mint collection of them.
The Free Frank cover shown below has a Registry number on the front, "No. 403" - for some reason these numbers are always prefaced by Roman "No" rather than a Cyrillic equivalent. On the back there is a paper seal, fairly typical in being unreadable except for the key word "PAKETOV" which is always present on seals.
The interesting thing about this 1902 cover is where it is going. It starts off in MISHKIN YAROSL[AVL] with a 27 May strike on the front and a 28 May strike on the back.It transits in Odessa on 2 June and arrives at ROPIT AFON on 9 June.
Now Mount Athos was Ottoman Turkish territory but Free Frank privilege has worked all the way there, presumably because the cover has been handled throughout by Russian mail services. This was not always the case: ships from Odessa would drop off mail to Mont Athos in Constantinople and the ROPIT CONSTANTINOPLE office would pass them to the Ottoman post office for overland delivery. In this case, I guess that a ship dropped off mail at Mont Athos itself but I would need to do more research to insist that was the case.

A Passionate Engagement is both a love story and a story of political activism. In this remarkable memoir, Ken Harvey (award-winning author of If You Were With Me Everything Would Be All Right) reveals his own experience of coming out as a gay man, of meeting and falling in love with the man who would become his husband, and of growing into a social and political activist. Much of the story is filled with the kind of sensitive writing that Harvey demonstrated in his earlier work, but this book also shows a different side as he moves from the fictional to non-fictional, as he puts himself bluntly in the middle of the conflict. As the book progresses, the reader moves with Harvey from outside observer to inside participant of the political struggle for same-sex marriage. His shift is significant, and a reader can't help but be moved along with him. This is a timely and important book, one that puts a truly human face onto this important social movement.

5 reviews for A Passionate Engagement: A Memoir
Adelo Brito, EDGE San Francisco – October 30, 2018
In A Passionate Engagement, Ken Harvey, short story writer and winner of the Violet Quill Award, tells his story of coming out as a gay man, making a life with his future husband, and becoming a political activist. Harvey's memoir shows how his personal life developed along with the State of Massachusetts victory against the same-sex marriage ban. It was interesting to learn all the steps in Massachusetts historic battle for equality…. This is a very timely story about a truly important social movement. Reading about Harvey going from observer to a fighting advocate for same-sex marriage offers hope to the reader – the hope that other states will follow Massachusetts in allowing the right for every individual to marry the person he or she loves. This book is a pretty quick read and one that will stay with the reader for a while.
Joan Wickersham, author of The Suicide Index: Putting My Father's Death in Order – October 30, 2018
There's no question more important than whether or not you get to marry the person you love. Ken Harvey shows what happens when personal lives intersect with a great political struggle, and he does it with enormous insight. This is a subtle, sensitive, and very moving book.
Barbara Fisher, Boston GLOBE – October 30, 2018
It took Ken Harvey a long time to admit to himself, his friends, his family, and the larger world that he was gay. But once he took the first steps, he followed through with purposeful strides. Growing up in the 1960s in a controlling Catholic family in Lynn, Harvey was intimidated and ignored by his parents and teased and bullied by his classmates. Hiding and denying were his strategies for getting by. When he finally came out, he fell happily into a long and loving relationship with Bruce, a man who had previously been married and fathered two daughters. At the same time that Bruce and Ken were making a life together, the laws of Massachusetts were moving toward allowing them to marry. Despite the usual premarital doubts and dithering, Ken and Bruce planned a wedding and were legally pronounced spouses for life. Most moving are the personal parts of the memoir coming out to his colleagues and students at the private school where he taught and their warm and accepting responses, having Bruce by his side as his legal spouse when he is taken to the hospital. Less moving but still powerful are the public parts of the memoir Ken s political activism, his participation in marches, rallies, and the continuing national fight for gay marriage
GoodReads.com – October 30, 2018
A Passionate Engagement is about going through the political battle in Massachusetts over the right to marry. The book also is a look at a gay childhood in the sixties and seventies, a closeted then openly gay life as a teacher working in the classroom, Ken's marriage to his spouse of many years, and how that marriage has changed them and the two children they helped raise. Given everything that is going on today the continuing same-sex marriage battle, the heartbreaking rate of teen suicide, the frightening resurgence of the radical right we want this book to be read not just by gay folks, but by anyone who's concerned with these issues. Then we hope they'll pass the book on to people who need their eyes opened. This is his true wish for the book. To change a few hearts and minds.
10 Praise quotes – April 13, 2019
"A Passionate Engagement is both love story and activist journal, intimate personal narrative and social commentary chronicle. Harvey delivers a moving but never mawkish account of an important human drive and how it intersects with politics, public perception, and personal struggle."
–Lisa Romeo, Foreword Reviews
"A Passionate Engagement is as timely as it is moving…The vital importance of the availability of marriage to everyone shines through in this important story of true love and political activism."
–Jim Plechota, Bay Area Reporter
–Joan Wickersham, author of The Suicide Index: Putting My Father's Death in Order
"… you can't do better than A Passionate Engagement—and you might buy extras for friends and family of all sociopolitical and sexual persuasions."
–David Pratt, Lambda Literary
"Ken Harvey has written a memoir that is a fine book on so many levels. The utter simplicity of retelling his childhood is as tender a story as any in the literature…echoes of Salinger and Joyce haunt the pages."
–Grady Harp, amazon top ten reviewer
"A Passionate Engagement is a fine addition to any Gay studies or memoir collection."
"Violet Quill Award-winner Ken Harvey's memoir A Passionate Engagement recounts his humorous coming out in Massachusetts during the battle against the same-sex marriage ban. Harvey… proves an excellent eyewitness to the defiance of those who changed him from a reluctant activist to a proud soldier of love and war. It's the perfect holiday read to gear up for a new year full of tumbles in the sheets and in the streets.
"As Harvey looks at his own political life, we see the political life of so many and we are lucky to have this so clearly presented to us in such beautiful language. The fact that it is so personal makes it all the more real and important. It pulled me in on the first page and has had a profound effect on me and it looks like it will be heading toward my ten best of 2010."
–Amos Lassen, Amos Lassen Reviews
"This is a very timely story about a truly important social movement. Reading about Harvey going from observer to a fighting advocate for same-sex marriage offers hope to the reader – the hope that other states will follow Massachusetts in allowing the right for every individual to marry the person he or she loves."
— Adela M. Brito, Edge Media Network
"If your giftee loves to read memoirs that empower, then wrap up "A Passionate Engagement" by Ken Harvey. In this slim book, Harvey talks about coming out, meeting his husband and becoming an activist. Politics play an important part in this book, so it might be a good choice for anyone who's politics-minded, too."

"Today, we'll learn how to make Chickpeas Dip - Hummus," said Isha.
"It might not look like commercially sold dips, but it will taste every bit as good."
"It is quite simple to make, since it is just a cold Middle Eastern puree made by blending chickpeas, sesame seeds, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt."
"Chickpeas have been eaten for centuries in the Middle East, and are a good source of protein and dietary fiber. They are reputed to be high in iron and vitamin C and also have significant amounts of folate and vitamin B6."
"Hummus is actually an Arabic word itself, meaning 'chickpeas'. It has now become world-famous, because of its use as a dip or spread, eaten on bread, or with nibbles and snacks."
"I washed chickpeas under running fresh water yesterday," she continued giving him cooking tips, "until the water was clear. Then I soaked them overnight in brine, in a covered pot. Some cultures soak them using baking soda along with salt too."
"If not soaked overnight, they take longer to cook. Or else, you can cook them in a Pressure Cooker. I find cooking in Pressure Cookers makes them mushy."
"This afternoon, I cooked them in their overnight soaking solution. When they were cooked, I drained them and allowed them to cool. I kept the stock for later use. Now, they are ready to be made into puree. So, let's get started."
As instructed, Hosh put the chickpeas and other ingredients into a blender (or mini wizz).
"How do you know when it's done, Ma," asked Hosh. "And how long will it keep?"
"It is important to cook the chickpeas until they are tender," replied Isha. "But you can blend them until their texture is to your preference. I like to blend the puree until it is smooth, but some cultures like it coarse."
They garnished it with mint and served it fresh with celery sticks, carrot sticks, baby carrots, potato crisps, crackers and corn chips that night for starters.
Light music was playing in the background. Josh turned off the lights and the family dined in candle-light as they chatted. There was contentment, that only companionship, ambience, music and good food can produce together in a home.

Jonesboro Police Chief: It's Easy to Shoot Yourself While in Handcuffs
Chavis Carter was executed in a police car
The Jonesboro, Arkansas police continue to deny any wrong-doing in the shooting death of Chavis Carter and now their police chief is supporting them.
Police Chief Michael Yates in an interview with CNN, was asked about the ability to shoot oneself while handcuffed, he responded,
"For the average person that's never been in handcuffs, that's never been around inmates and people in custody would react exactly the same way that you just did, about how can that be possible. Well the fact of it is, it's very possible and it's quite easy."
Police say that 21-year-old Chavis Carter, killed himself while handcuffed in the back of a squad car on July 28th.
Yates seemed to have changed his tune in this interview because when reports first surfaced of Carter's suicide, Yates said it seemed "very unusual."
Local police say his suicide is supported by dashboard cameras and witnesses who say the police were outside of the car at the time of the shooting.
However, Carter's mother hired a lawyer and believes that her son did not kill himself. The FBI is also doing an investigation on the incident.

These Are The Women Who Are Rebranding Periods
Story from Dedicated Feature
Meet The Women Working On The Front Lines To Destigmatize Your Period
Eliza Dumais
To commemorate the arrival of my first-ever period, I sobbed unabashedly in my piano teacher's bathroom. "Congratulations!" my mother yelled into the phone, in between my heaving inhales, "You're a woman!" I didn't want to be a woman, though. I was still thoroughly enjoying being a girl.
Beyond the looming prospect of monthly discomfort, at the time, I felt something I can only identify now as shame. I had anxiety dreams about tampons the size of large mammals. I didn't tell my friends. I didn't ask questions.
All the well-intentioned teeny-bopper period-care manuals I had access to seemed to avoid the word "period" altogether. Instead it was "time of the month" or "flow" or, most egregiously, "the rag." The girls in my classes had dexterous, unassuming ways of sliding tampons from their bags into their jacket sleeves or the waistbands of their jeans. We were all in on a collective secret.
While I can't say with certainty how present-day middle-school girls go about wielding their tampons, the scope of the conversation has shifted as a whole since my own first cycle. We're becoming more transparent — more public about the nature of our periods. We're celebrating and bemoaning our bodies out in the open. And we owe that freedom, in part, to women fighting on the front lines to destigmatize menstruation. Call them "menstrual activists."
Along with working to remove period stigma, these women are taking on another major issue: period poverty. A recent study suggests that in 2018, one in four women struggled to purchase menstrual hygiene products due to insufficient income. Worldwide, menstruation is among the leading causes of school absenteeism in girls. And still, we have yet to combat period poverty with the urgency we might otherwise apply to a medical crisis.
For a better look at how we can all commit to updating menstrual vernacular and closing the period poverty gap, we sat down with three wildly inspiring female activists. Ahead, read how they're changing the conversation around period health. They might just be the folks who convince you, from here on out, to brandish your tampons with pride while you march to the office bathroom.
Nadya Okamoto
When Nadya Okamoto turned 16, her family was displaced. No longer able to pay for their home, they moved in with family friends in Old Portland, Oregon. En route to school each morning, Nadya changed buses at a thoroughfare lined with nearly 10 different homeless shelters, all situated within a radius of just a few blocks.

"I overheard a lot each time I passed through, but I remember hearing homeless women talk about using things like toilet paper, socks, brown paper bags, and cotton balls in place of tampons when they had their periods," she explains. "At the time, I'd been thinking so much about privilege as a spectrum. I did all this research about the tampon tax and girls missing school because of their periods, and I got so worked up."
In an effort to capitalize on that fervor, Nadya founded PERIOD — a global, youth-run NGO devoted to reducing period stigma and period poverty. On a policy level, the organization works to slash taxes on menstrual hygiene products, while on the ground, it aims to set up PERIOD chapters across the country where locals operate drives to collect supplies that will later be stocked in school bathrooms and other public spaces. Right now, there are over 350 registered chapters across the country.
In the organization's early stages, the nuances of running a nonprofit were foreign territory for Nadya, even for all her clarity on its mission. "We were Googling things like what is an NGO and what's a 499. It was super challenging and confusing," she says.
Five years later, beyond the impressive quantity of functional chapters, the organization now operates with its own full-time staff. Nadya has released her first book, Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement, and after one unsuccessful — though valiant — attempt at running for office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she's prepared to put all of her energy into expanding the limits of her organization's reach.
"Think about how you can break the stigma. Start conversations and collect products where they're needed," she says. "Each of us as individuals has a responsibility to break the stigma in our own communities. I wish I could tell everyone just how easy it is — to start conversations, be more open, be more confident."
Joanne Goldblum
In 2004, Joanne Goldblum started a diaper bank in her living room. By 2011, she was running the National Diaper Bank Network — an organization centered around providing clean diapers to impoverished parents and children. Now, it operates as the largest diaper bank network in the country.
As Joanne continued to work with families in need of diapers, she found that the majority of the women she met also lacked access to things like tampons, soap, and toothpaste. "These things are necessities, not luxuries," she declares. There are no state or federal subsidies for most of these products, and they're often treated, from an institutional end, as extraneous. So, Joanne set out to do something about that.
"I became a little bit obsessed with finding a way to meet people's basic needs," she explains. "I remember joking that I would start a tampon bank one day, but I didn't think anyone would fund me." That was 15 years ago — long before the Alliance for Period Supplies came to be, with Joanne as its founder and CEO, and U by Kotex as its founding sponsor.
"A big focus of the program is allying with local programs and helping them distribute period products in their communities," Joanne says. "U by Kotex has donated 17 million period products to date with the help of retail partners and consumer support." In its second year, the APS and U by Kotex continue to raise awareness about the prevalence of period poverty — while inspiring individuals to take action within their own communities.
Beyond collecting and distributing supplies, the APS — like Okamoto's PERIOD — is also working to combat taxes on menstrual hygiene products from a policy level. "The sales tax is a regressive tax," says Joanne. "But working on the policy level gets me really excited. It makes me feel like we're really going to make change — starting at the institutional level means we can make permanent change."
And naturally, tied in with all of the above, comes the battle to destigmatize menstruation — the push to overturn the scorn that accompanies a woman's period. Joanne says that one of the most empowering parts of her work in the feminine care field is the specific variety of satisfaction that comes from merely broadening the conversation — from speaking candidly with as much frequency as possible on the topic of menstruation in the hopes that it will encourage others to do the same.
"We're never going to get period supplies to everyone," she says. "We have to understand that. But we can say that that's okay, because we're helping as many people as we can — and more importantly, because we're changing the conversation. We're talking about [our periods] at the places where we work. With our friends. That's activism."
Kiran Gandhi
You might recognize Kiran Gandhi's name. Perhaps it's for her illustrious career as Madame Gandhi — a touring drummer, performing with big-name artists across the country. Or maybe you've heard her solo tracks. It's also possible that you spotted her in headlines across the globe when she chose to run the London marathon in 2015 while "free bleeding" — traversing all 26 miles on foot while on her period, sans menstrual hygiene products.

Following the race, Kiran was inundated with criticism. She was declared "unladylike" and "vulgar" — even "disgusting." But equal in number were the headlines exalting her as an icon of female liberation. "I made the decision to free bleed because it was most comfortable for my body," she says. "Sure, I went into it with this punk-rock mentality, but really, I just didn't think anyone had the right to police my body."
After the marathon, inspired by the onslaught of responses to her run, she began to look for more information about menstrual health and period stigma as a whole. "I reached out to a lot of folks who I knew had been involved in the menstrual health and activism space," she says. "I leaned on them to educate me about the cause. I became an expert by proxy."
As a musician, Kiran began to use her stage as a platform to spread awareness and reduce stigma relating to the subject of menstrual care. "My activism and my musical career really come together," she explains. "I only started producing and performing my own music after the London marathon thing went viral. People started asking me to speak, so I would come and talk, then I would perform my own music as well. Until then I'd only been drumming for other people."
Once she began to speak out in public forums about the importance of eradicating period stigma, she found herself entrenched in a vocabulary that excited her. Soon after, lyrics born of the same sentiment came naturally — and thus, a solo career was born.
Her next album will be released this coming October, and within it, you'll find a line that speaks almost directly to the nature of her menstrual activism: "With my own voice I'll say it when fate gets in the way/no matter what phase of my moon I'm on that day."
While Kiran travels the globe, performing and speaking out on matters of gender equality and menstrual pride, she still feels somewhat reluctant — even intimidated — by the prospect of addressing a crowd. "For a while, it was so hard to get on stage and say words like 'pussy' or 'free bleeding' or even 'period' in front of so many people," she says. "In high school, even at an all-girls school, we would maybe tell each other if someone had a stain, but we weren't talking about our periods."
Still, apprehension aside, Kiran takes pride in doing that very thing in front of expansive throngs of spectators. She's championing that reluctance to speak frankly about period health, and she's wielding it as a form of activism.
"Two years ago I performed at this big music festival in Denmark. It was packed, I crowd-surfed, I played music, and I spoke openly about menstrual issues and female empowerment," she says. "After the show, one woman came up to me at the merch stand and said, 'I've been holding off on running for Danish parliament, but after hearing you speak, this is going to be my year.'
"She reached out to me about four months ago. Turns out she got elected."

The A136PT Position Transmitter is used to detect and measure linear position and displacement, primarily of slide gates with a high degree of accuracy any repeatability. The A136PT can be mounted in any position with the cable attached to the gate and the housing mounted to a fixed surface.
An internal spring maintains constant tension on the cable for retracting it onto the pulley. The shaft is coupled to a three (3) turn potentiometer and thru a 3:1 gear drive, to two easily set screwdriver adjustable cam operated SPDT limit switches. These limit switches can be set to control the travel of the gate or for indicating the set limit has been reached.
The A136PT provides a voltage, usually 0 to 5 volts DC proportional to the linear extension of the cable for display purposes and/or input to a controller such as the A153C, A158GC, programmable controller and/or process computers. The unit has provisions for different terminal connections to provide outputs of 0 to 5 volts DC or 5 to 0 volts DC for extensions or retractions of the cable to suite your situation.
The potentiometer resistance value is 5000 ohms with a linearity of .25%. Two limit switches are rated at 5 amp, 250 VAC. The housing is explosion proof and dust tight for Class I, Group C and D; Class II, Groups E, F, and G; NEMA 7 and 9.

VAALA Commemorates 40 Years After Vietnam War
Kristine Hoange | Posted on May 4, 2015
For the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese American Arts & Letters Association (VAALA) held an event yesterday at the VAALA Cultural Center called "To Remember," which aimed to invoke Vietnamese-American history of the war through memorials, photographic images, and poetry. The event consisted of a poetry reading and lectures addressing the silences that continue to occupy Vietnamese-American homes regarding the past.
"I feel a lot of emotions as I stand here," said speaker Yen Le Espirtu, professor and former Chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, San Diego. "I've given a lot of talks, but this is the first time in front of a large Vietnamese community."
Professor Espirtu shared a chapter of her latest book, Body Counts: The Vietnam War and Militarized Refuge(es), where she argued that Vietnamese-Americans have been using Internet memorials–that is, websites about South Vietnamese war experiences created by first-generation Vietnamese-Americans–to write their histories into the American landscape. Internet memorials, Professor Espirtu argued, are attempts to counter the erasure of South Vietnamese history in remembrance of the war.
Professor Espirtu added that preserving Vietnamese memories of the war is also a matter of refugees opening up to the second generation. "The first generation goes to coffee shops and talks about their history to each other," she said. "But they don't talk about it their children."
In the poetry portion of the event, Cara Le–a community organizer, teacher, writer, and Asian-American studies grad student–addressed the silences in her home by reading from her collection of poems that revolved around her mother's personal life called "the Labor of Longing."
"Why are you asking me about the past–who wants to know?" Le read from her poem "April 1975, Part III" as her mother. "I've created a cabinet of curiosities…embellishing my mother's story to make it proper for display," Le reflected afterward. "I shouldn't have to fill all the silences with words. What I need is quiet and a time to be still. I need a photograph to hold."
The last speaker of the night was Nguyen-Vo Thu-Huong, associate professor of Asian languages and culture and Asian American studies at UCLA. Professor Nguyen-Vo argued that historical photographs of the Vietnam War are fraught with contestation. As an example, she put up "Saigon Execution," the famous photograph by Eddie Adams of a South Vietnamese officer about to execute a Viet Cong, on the projection screen. "The image is re-cropped and relit several times to leave out more and more of the context until the killing takes place in a tight composition," Professor Nguyen-Vo said.
The Vietnamese community will have to continually work hard to preserve their stories, but at least for now, works like Cara Le's "April 1975, Part I" will contribute to the narrative:
There was no time to cry, no window to look out of. The helicopter engine fired and the force of the blade caused the air to reverberate, louder than all their heartbeats combined.

The Quintessential Gentleman
fashion - music - martinis - movies - television - cigars - colognes - books - magazines - art - accessories - cars - restaurants - and lots more - all the essential ingredients for the quintessential gentleman
Elaine Kaufman 1929-2010
Manhattan has lost one of it's most colorful institutions. When Gino's Restaurant closed on Lexington Avenue and I saw that Sprinkles Cupcakes was moving in, I shed a tear. But, when I heard the news that Elaine Kaufman had died my heart broke.
For most of my childhood, Elaine's was a mythical place on the far reaches of the upper east side. My father was a successful restaurateur, so there wasn't much reason to visit another saloon. Besides, there were stories of intense competition and resentment that I chose to steer clear of. My father's illustrious career in the business eventually ended badly, he and my mother were no longer together, and I had left town to pursue my own career in points west.
In the blink of an eye, Elaine took my father in and gave him a seat at her table where he stayed for more than a decade. Although I had moved away, when I'd return home, my first few steps off the plane always lead me to Elaine's. In those ten plus years, I made up for the lifetime where Elaine's had only been a Woody Allen location or the lyrics to a Billy Joel song.
I spent nights along the right wall that were rich in great stories from fabled authors, journalists and film makers. I had dates in the back room listening to Donald Fagen, Dr. John, and others. This was a New York nightspot that was so thick with history and notoriety that one could never truly appreciate the multitude of moments that happened between 8pm and closing.
A few years before my father passed away, he and Elaine had another falling out. A misunderstanding that never rectified itself. He was never as happy as he was when he held court at Elaine's and no one ever made him feel as special as Elaine Kaufman did.
Tonight, I hope there is a table for them both up there with George Plimpton, with Norman Mailer, with Frank Sinatra, and all the other regulars who made Manhattan swing and made Elaine's New York's quintessential night spot.

'Hearing someone speaking another language always seemed slightly magical'
I'm delighted to say that responses are still coming in to the emails I sent out to colleagues and students last week asking about how and why they started learning languages… and how and why they've kept going with them. Emeline Morin is a Lecturer with us at Stirling, originally from France but now working in Scotland:
'Like Mathilde, I started learning bits and bobs of English from songs. For instance, aged 5 or so, I vividly remember my mum telling me what "I will always love you" means from Whitney Houston's song.
I only properly started to learn English in high school, aged 11, and I was very excited to start. I come from a very rural part of France and never really travelled as a child, so to me, hearing someone speak a foreign language, no matter which one, always seemed slightly magical.
I've always been a big reader, and when I think about it, my love for books definitely impacted my wish to learn languages. When I was 12, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out in English in July and would not be published in French until the end of November. I was so frustrated, I spent hours on forums searching for the (usually fairly rough) translations people wrote chapter by chapter. That's when I became very dedicated to learning English because I decided that I just had to read the books in original from then on.
In high school, I also picked up Latin (which included a trip to Italy!) and Spanish. By the end of high school, I loved languages so much, I decided to do a degree in English and Spanish and I also picked up a bit of Mandarin, Russian, and German. (For some reason, German is the one language I have tried and just do not seem to be able to retain AT ALL).
This year marks the tenth anniversary of my move to Scotland. Being able to live abroad and to settle down here, to make friends and family has been incredible. Not only do I still feel that I am learning every day, I have also learnt a lot about my own language and culture while teaching it and confronting it to an outsider's point of view.
Learning a language is not always easy, and is sometimes frustrating, but I don't know of many things as rewarding either.'
Many thanks to Emeline for finding the time to send us this post – we're hoping to find ways of following up on the references to songs and books and language learning over forthcoming blog posts!

Why Study Languages? What our students say…
As promised, then, as well as having gathered responses to questions about language learning (which ones, why, why not, why keep going with them…) from colleagues, we've also been delighted to receive (and to continue to receive!) a number of responses from our students. We'll post a couple of these separately but, without further ado, here are some of the initial thoughts and experiences from students across different years and different programmes:
For David, who is in the first year of a BA Hons in French with us, French started at the age of 13 at secondary school but, in his words, he was 'a bad student and count only count to 10 by the time [he] left.' He then restarted learning French at the age of 50 and is now, as I say, in his first year with us. The motivation for taking up French again came from David having had to stop work and he says that 'French is not an easy subject but a great challenge due to its difficulty, beauty and culture.' He also did Beginners' Spanish in an access course last year but didn't continue with it because he found that it was too difficult to be learning two languages at the same time.
Catriona is also a mature student, studying French with us who explains: 'I started learning French in 1st year at high school, aged 11. I think that was in 1968! I remember being delighted when I realised I could understand the French bit of the Beatles' song 'Michelle'!' In her 3rd year, she took up German as well and did two years of Latin in 1st and 2nd year. Her mum had also enjoyed French and German at high school (both to Higher) so she wonders whether that influenced her though she points out 'it didn't have the same effect on my brother so maybe that's not the cause!' She liked French and found it fairly easy ('probably because I liked it') and the same applied to German. She would also have liked to have done Russian or Spanish but neither was available. Having done Higher French and German, Catriona then pursued a career in nursing but has done various continuing education courses in both languages over the years. She's doing French now because 'I still like learning it and don't want to forget what I know. I like the country and the culture and like being able to speak to the people in their own language and read things I see when on holiday etc. I suppose I've got a bit of a fascination with foreign languages and learning them.'
Chelsea is a final year student whose dissertation happens to be looking at language learning, anxiety and motivation in secondary schools so she has been particularly interested in the news coverage. She started learning French aged 10 (in P6) and initially, very honestly, continued learning it because she had to study a language up until S4. Chelsea's decision to study Higher French was largely based on getting good grades and she says: 'I didn't actually start to enjoy French until I was studying it at Higher.' She went on to take it at Uni because she enjoyed learning it and was good at it but also because she wanted to improve her spoken French. She also took Beginners' Spanish in first year but had to stop because it didn't fit any more into the structures of her degree.
Chloe is in the first year of her degree in Primary Education with a Specialism in Modern Languages, having started learning French in P7 when she was about 10. Her initial motivation for continuing with it came partly from needing a qualification in French to get into her University course as she wanted to do languages teaching and enjoys learning languages. She travelled to Romania and had to learn the basics of Romanian to get by there but found that she would get it confused with her French so stopped it after that particular trip.
Like Chloe, Lauren is also in the first year of a degree with Education but, in her case, our Professional Education (Secondary) programme with French and Spanish. The first language she learned that wasn't her own was French and she started learning it at 4 years old. At that age, her grandparents got her involved with a French class outside of school but she stopped aged 8 after her teacher fell ill. She started another one around a year later and her teacher was a franchisee of La Jolie Ronde. Lauren says she kept up with her languages due to the influence of her grandparents: 'my 84-year-old grandpa often texts me in French and we have conversations in French at dinner times whenever I visit.' Lauren decided to study languages at University as 'it's the one passion I've had since I was little that hasn't changed and has been ever present in my life.'
As is the case for those of us teaching French at Stirling, those studying it with us come from a range of backgrounds, having taken up languages for all kinds of reasons. We'll keep adding any responses that come in from other students over the days ahead and we'd like to thank all those who've already been in touch!

Bill Van Siclen
If you've ever seen the famous Saul Steinberg map of America — the one showing a gigantic Manhattan and lots of empty space everywhere else — you know how the world looks to many artists, curators and collectors. For them, New York isn't just the center of the art world. It's the center of everything.
But what if you could, in effect, peel away some of the Big Apple's influence?
In that case, the artistic landscape might look at lot like it does in "What Nerve! Alternative Figures in American Art, from 1960 to the Present," a new RISD Museum exhibit featuring the work of artists who live and work outside the art-world mainstream (and, yes, that means you New York!). Featuring more than 140 artworks, including pieces by the contemporary art ensembles the Hairy Who (Chicago), Funk (San Francisco) and Destroy All Monsters (Detroit), the show officially opens Friday. But art lovers can get a sneak peak tonight — Thursday — as part of the museum's monthly "Design the Night" celebration. As usual, the event includes talks, tours and other activities and takes place from 5 to 9 p.m.
As an added bonus, "What Nerve" includes a section devoted to Forcefield, a four-man performance art group that got its start at Providence's famed Fort Thunder in the mid-1990s. Though the group has since disbanded, its distinctive mix of do-it-yourself artworks, neon-colored bodysuits and low-tech sound and video loops still packs a visual and emotional punch.

Q: PAPR (Peak to average power ratio) of OFDM signals Will the PAPR of an OFDM signal using QPSK modulation on its subcarriers be different than the PAPR of an OFDM signal using QAM256 on its subcarriers? assuming the same number of subcarriers

A:
Will the PAPR of an OFDM signal using QPSK modulation on its subcarriers be different than the PAPR of an OFDM signal using QAM256 on its subcarriers?

No, not in general, which an easy sum notification using the QAM and PSK symbols in amplitude&phase notation would have yielded.
Of course, you still have the central limit theorem, but that's exactly that: a theorem about what happens in the limit, and you haven't defined the number of subcarriers.

Most of us have heard a rumor about them. They're legendary. Who, you may ask? Those spiritual discipline "legends." I met one once. At McDonald's, a man told me he has read the Bible every year for 40 something years. Maybe you have met one too. More often than not its one of those "I know a guy who knows a girl" encounters. "This lady has memorized the entire Bible." "I know a guy who has memorized the entire new testament in Greek!" Years ago I met a man who wouldn't leave his prayer closet until he got his answers from God. He didn't eat or sleep. He just prayed. Then, he told me about it.
I once heard a story about a woman who did a horrible thing. One of those things that marks you for life. She now wrestles with the truth of the gospel and doesn't know if God could forgive her. Recently, she made a profession of faith, but she is still haunted by her terrible sin. She trusts in Jesus but she feels too guilty to open her Bible and she is confused when the pastor uses big theological words.
The man is one type of person, the woman, another. Both live long lives. One grows in popularity because of his Islamic-like discipline. He received the accolades of man and the type of peace that only a good performance can bring. The other lived a hard life and never really found the peace that the gospel offers. She stumbled forward. She was never fully accepted in community group cause she perpetually didn't understand things.
One was an unlikely saint.

Home » Divorce & Separation » Annulment / Nullity » Can I Get Alimony If My Marriage Is Annulled?
Some states allow you to receive temporary alimony while the case is pending in court, however, you cannot receive alimony after the annulment has been granted by the court.
This is because an annulment declares your marriage to be "void" and erases it as if it never existed under the law. Spousal support cannot be awarded if no valid marriage existed.
If you believe you will need spousal support, you may prefer to file for divorce or legal separation, rather than an annulment, as alimony may be awarded in these cases.

Dan's seen just about everything there is to see as an LPC. His vast experience and down-to-earth demeanor makes him a strong choice as a counselor.
Dan is a Licensed Professional Counselor as recognized by the Texas Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. He holds a Master of Education, Counseling degree from the University of Houston. He is a certified Prepare\Enrich marriage facilitator, has pursued additional education in Sexual Addiction Therapy, and has spent time training for Stepfamily Th erapy with several of the leading researchers in the nation.

Passion For Marriages
Dan is known for his work with couples, whether in first marriages or re-married in step-families, and recognizes the complex issues these relationships may present. Working often with these dynamics, Dan has the ability to communicate difficult concepts in easy to understand precepts and principles. This works well with marriages in crisis providing clear insight, appropriate options, and a vision that encourages forward momentum.
Step-Family Expertise
His training, study, and life experience has enabled Dan to become an expert in step-family dynamics. The divorce statistics for second marriages, especially complex families where both bring biological children to the new marriage, have over 70% failure rate.

Prior to licensure, Dan worked 16 years in ministry where he had the opportunity to counsel and coach couples, individuals, adolescents, families and groups. He encountered people with a variety of hurts and needs including, spiritual issues and direction, substance abuse, sexual addiction, depression, anxiety, grief management, and relationship centered issues. He received his professional license in 2008. Dan has spent nearly 20 years working directly with people of all ages, and in all stages of life, providing insight, guidance, and hope.
