We'll be posting once a day during the meeting, so be sure the visit the site often to catch all the news!
Plenary Session: George Ellery Hale Prize, The Solar Magnetic Field: From Complexity to Simplicity (and Back) (by Benny Tsang)
The morning plenary session started with the George Ellery Hale Prize presentation of our speaker Manfred Schüssler (Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research) for his "outstanding contributions over an extended period of time to the field of solar astronomy". Eugene Parker, who first discovered the magnetism and polarity of sunspots and who we named NASA's new Sun-touching spacecraft after, was the first scientist to have received this honor. Today Schüssler led us on a journey to disentangle the Sun's complex magnetic field with simple models — can this really be done?

To get a sense of the level of complexity in the magnetic structures of the Sun, let's first take a look at some images. On the seemingly simple and boring surface, we see tiny features around sunspots (middle panel) and granules (hot, rising pockets of gas; right panel). In addition, all these are highly turbulent and dynamical, so we are faced with the challenge of explaining a hierarchy of time-varying complexities on a wide range of scales.
Numerical simulations have tried to reproduce the observed features by including physics at different scales — from the near-surface layer, to the deeper layer where the magnetic field is believed to be created, to the whole convection zone. Although simulations are not perfect in reproducing all features, Schüssler stressed that they offer an otherwise unavailable 3D view of the Sun, which allows new questions to be asked. Among all, the small-scale dynamo model shows the most promising prospects for explaining most of the observed small-scale structures. This dynamo process is so fundamental that it is believed to prevail even when the first generation of stars were born.
The Sun can be quite predictable in its own way. The highly regular, 11-year cycle of sunspot activity and the 22-year field direction reversal are two examples. Such regularities can be understood by the Babcock and Leighton (BL) model pretty well, which describes the activities as driven by the twisting of magnetic field lines in the Sun by its rotation. That said, the full picture of Solar magnetism is still far from being complete. As an example, Schüssler noted that the emergence of magnetic field deeper in the Sun (flux emergence) assumed in the BL model seems to be extremely complex in and of itself. Future scientists, I think we could really use some help here.
Press Conference: Bending & Blending (by Benny Tsang)
The last press conference of this AAS meeting featured two speakers and had a rather enigmatic title: Bending and Blending. To summarize in one sentence, it was about the bending of light by a white dwarf, and the blending of a suite of versatile tools for better data visualization.

— Science Press Pkg (@scipak) June 7, 2017
Kailash Sahu (Space Telescope Science Institute) led the discussion of a truly exceptional microlensing event. One of the crucial tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity is the bending of light around massive objects. Unlike typical gravitational lensing by clusters of galaxies, microlensing events are caused by objects with stellar or planetary masses. Sahu's team observed a foreground white dwarf (Stein 2051 B) deflecting light of a background star. By analysing the images formed by this "white dwarf lens", they estimated its mass to be 0.675 times the mass of the Sun (with ~7% error). Until this discovery, all mass estimates of white dwarfs have relied on binary systems. Sahu's discovery opened up a new way to measure white dwarfs' masses, which could empower many new discoveries in astronomy. [Full press release]
Aside: If you wish to do your personal gravitational lensing observation, there's a chance during the upcoming total Solar eclipse event on Aug 21. We can all be part of it!

Next, Brian Kent (National Radio Astronomy Observatory) illustrated the multi-purpose, well-documented, scientific data visualization tool he built, known as Blender. Data from multi-wavelength observations and advanced supercomputer simulations have been growing in both size and complexity. Not only is visualization required to help communicate new discoveries to the general public, but scientists themselves rely heavily on efficient visualization tools to make discoveries in the first place. Recently Kent has even combined Blender with Google Spatial Media to "put data in the hands of the audience" — data visualization on users' mobile devices. We can start making our own scientific art pieces now by following the tutorials and reading the new Blender book! [Full press release]
Plenary Session: CANDELS: A Cosmic Quest for Distant Galaxies Offering Live Views of Galaxy Evolution (by Benny Tsang)
Inventor of photometric redshift measurement David Koo (University of California, Santa Cruz) told the story of the cosmic quest to understand galaxy formation. Having recently retired to "finally do research full-time", Koo started by clarifying a common question about the CANDELS program — the name 'CANDELS' is indeed an intentional misspelling to avoid generic results on search engines. CANDELS is a Hubble Space Telescope legacy survey with an unprecedented amount of data, providing both wide and deep coverage of galaxies. The entire image database consists of 250,000 galaxies from redshift of 1.5 to 8.

Why do we want to get yet more data on distant galaxies? It is obvious from a quick glance at the Hubble Deep Field that cosmic environments vary a lot — we see galaxies of different shapes and colors! Moreover, galaxies cannot be neatly divided into discrete types; they interact with each other and evolve. A large amount of data is therefore needed to cover a representative volume of the Universe in order for a galaxy evolution study to make sense.
With complementary coverage by Herschel and Spitzer (infrared), Chandra (X-ray), and GALEX (ultraviolet), we earn the bread and butter for galaxy evolution, e.g. stellar mass, size, star formation rate, and morphology. In particular, the addition of the X-ray band provides important hints about galaxies' central supermassive black holes. An important component of the CANDELS program is the inclusion of theorists working with N-body and hydrodynamical simulations. By reproducing observed galaxies from first principles, simulations allow us to track them back in time (like rewinding a movie) to see the processes of their evolution.
Koo attributed the success of the CANDELS collaboration to their strong "family values."
Throughout the talk Koo filled the entire hall with his warmth, and he didn't hesitate to give thanks to his team. Besides the principal investigators Sandra Faber (who has won the Bruce Gold Medal, the "cosmology Nobel prize") and Henry Ferguson, he also thanked astronaut Andrew Feustel for installing the camera that made CANDELS possible! With the prospects of new telescopes such as JWST, ALMA, SKA, and those of decades to come, Koo echoed Casey on Day 1, envisioning that detailed mapping of gas and dust is the future of astronomical observations.

Home Lifestyle Food & Beverage Innovation Summit: CBD on the rise
Food & Beverage Innovation Summit: CBD on the rise
Contrary to popular belief — and some false marketing claims — the federal Farm Bill of 2018 did not legalize cannabidiol, or CBD, nationwide.
"We've seen a lot of strategic alliances and partnerships between companies looking to prepare themselves to be part of this market, but we've also seen a lot of misinformation out there," Danielle DeFillipis, trademark attorney at Norris McLaughlin Law, said.
While the companies may be ready, many consumers still are not, said Linda Gilbert, CEO of EcoFocus Worldwide and a recognized expert on consumer marketing for wellness products.
"Consumers are very curious and interested in CBD for a variety of different reasons, including viewing it as an alternative to over-the-counter and prescription medications, as a sleep aid, for pain relief and reducing inflammation," she said. "But, when we ask them very specific questions, they generally cannot give us the correct answers. For example, many people still think hemp can get them high like marijuana or that CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the same thing.
"There is a lot of confusion."
It's why the use of CBD in food products was a panel discussion at the ROI-NJ's inaugural Food & Beverage Innovation Summit, held last Wednesday at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany.
Andrew Linden, cannabis leader at Norris McLaughlin Law, explained that hemp, as per lawmakers, is any substance derived from the Cannabis sativa L plant with less than 0.3% THC, which produces a psychoactive effect.
"The federal Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, or the Farm Bill, removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, meaning that possessing hemp or its extracts would not be a criminal act," he said. "However, the Farm Bill did not take away any power of authority from the Food & Drug Administration, which currently does not allow the use of CBD in any food or beverage products."
Though New Jersey's statute currently allows the use of CBD in food and beverages, Linden said, it is specified only to the fullest extent permitted by federal law — of which there are no regulations.
"So, we are constantly going in circles — and the FDA has issued warning letters to businesses in New Jersey already," he added.
For those consumers who already have tried CBD-infused edibles, Gilbert said potency, quality of ingredients and flavor preferences are of the utmost importance.
"And, while most edibles include gummies and chocolate right now, including those infused with THC, many consumers also want to see infused pizza, ice cream and cookies," she added. "Consumers want to be able to use this product throughout the day and night."
Consumers also believe that a chocolate manufacturer, for example, would make a better infused chocolate bar than a cannabis company would.
"Consumers overwhelmingly feel safer purchasing a cannabis-infused chocolate bar from a well-known chocolate brand," Gilbert said. "And, when we start to infuse products, whether it's calcium in orange juice or CBD in a cookie, it can be a reason for consumers to choose your brand or category over another."
Linden said CBD already is out there and growing rapidly.
"We need regulation as soon as possible to both tamper misconceptions as well as make the market more organized and safer," he said.

The Alameda County (Calif.) Registrar of Voters was inundated with phone calls from concerned community members on Monday after about 230,000 residents received letters that inaccurately listed their political party.
The letters were supposed to be sent to voters who did not list a political party when they registered, informing them they could vote for candidates from either the Democratic Party or the American Independent Party. Those parties allow unaffiliated voters to participate in their primaries.
However, due to human error, the letters were inadvertently sent to a different, much larger voter database, said Guy Ashley, the spokesperson for the registrar. Many residents were then left wondering if they would be able to vote in California's presidential primary in February.
The registrar's office uses a third-party contractor, based in Washington, to print, compile and send mail to voters.
"Somebody sent the wrong list to the third-party printer," he said.
However, while Ashley said he did not know which database had been incorrectly used, many of the complaints and questions had come from registered Democrats.
Berkeley City Councilmember Kriss Worthington said he was surprised when he received one of the letters because he has been a registered Democrat since 1972 and had recently filed his papers as a Democratic candidate for a seat in the state legislature.
He said he had also received a number of calls from concerned constituents, who felt they may have been victims of attempted voter-fraud.
Because the letters' postage was listed as being paid by a nonprofit organization, Worthington said many people felt a political organization may have been attempting to disenfranchise voters.
The nonprofit company was the independent contractor, Ashley said.
Ashley said correcting the mistake was the top priority for his office.
"This week we are going to send a follow-up letter," he said. "We are going to deal with the follow-up first and then deal with the people who should have gotten the letter."
Ashley said the one bright spot was that the registrar's office had plenty of time to inform the public of their mistake.
"The one saving grace is that we sent these letters off early enough for folks to know (by February) their correct registration," he said.

DaiNa - Domestic abuse is Never acceptable
Product code: ISBN: 978-1-905541-51-5

A4 Wiro paperback, 96 pages
Like 0 Tweet 0 Pin it 0
There is abundant material for working with perpetrators and with children who have experienced domestic abuse. But resources for work with women who have suffered abuse are scarce. This manual provides practical assistance for anyone working with women to successfully facilitate a group-work programme to:
support women who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse
help them to break cycles of abuse and move on from damaging relationships
Written in language that is accessible to as many women as possible, it can be used by less experienced workers, including those without academic training, as well as by those who have undertaken this type of work before. They will still find it to be helpful.
It also provides sufficient background information on domestic abuse....it explains that there is still a long way to go in understanding and addressing its complexities; that workers may come across behaviour that they would dislike and not tolerate in their own relationships, but that this may not necessarily be abusive; that children can be deeply emotionally affected by witnessing domestic abuse.
It's principal focus reflects the author' very extensive experience. It sets our how domestic abuse impacts on women. It enables facilitators of all levels of experience to be sensitive and effective when working with women....women who have experience of some or all of the wide spectrum of abusive behaviour.
The manual will help you to help women to learn that domestic abuse is not just about physical violence; that it involves the absence of some or all of what is normally considered necessary in healthy relationships. Part of the aim for women involved in the group-work that this manual helps facilitate is to understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships; and develop an understanding of the kind of relationship they want and deserve.
Anyone undertaking work of this kind should make sure that they too have help and support to protect and value themselves, in what can be very demanding situations. But this manual can help you set up a comprehensive, sensitive and very rewarding programme that:
deals with the impact of domestic abuse and challenges readers to begin to understand how it feels to be a victim
provides practical advice and exercises for use in running a group programme
includes photocopiable hand out sheets for use in these exercises. Anyone who registers their purchase with RHP can obtain the photocopieable exercises in PDF format at no extra charge

For busy modern families, a laundry has to be practical… but who says it can't be pretty as well?
Take, for example, this recent laundry project for a new build home in Holland Park. Small on space but big on storage solutions and fabulously functional for this family of five.
Crisp, clean and cleverly chic, with gloss white cabinetry, snow coloured stone benchtops and a gorgeous grey patterned tile splashback adding personality and style. The elegant stainless steel curved flat profile handles, straightneck mixer tap and generous top mounted sink sparkle in this light-filled space. While the contrasting dark ceramic floor tiles are the perfect durable choice for the zone, continuing into the nearby powder room for a seamless visual transition.
Boasting 10 large cupboards, including pull out storage and a laundry chute opening from the upstairs stairwell (a genius resolve for getting dirty clothing and linens downstairs quickly!) this seemingly simple laundry design is ideal for the home's floorplan. The closed front storage keeps everything from colour sorted laundry to cleaning products organised and concealed. If you can believe it, this actually makes the tedious task of doing laundry become quite satisfying since good design makes everything run more efficiently.
With the custom cabinetry all designated to run along the rear wall, there is plenty of space left in the laundry to comfortably extend an ironing board and even hang clothes on a rail as you go. A large sliding glass door to the exterior clothes line provides easy direct access – ideal for those days when the laundry basket is extra heavy.
One of the advantages of designing laundries, as opposed to other more shared entertaining spaces in your home, is that you can continue elements of the main cabinetry, such as the kitchen, but scale the design back to suit the function of the space. For example where you use an extra thick stone benchtop or feature cabinetry finishes/profiles, a standard 20mm stone thickness and single colour cabinetry or flat profile door can reference the overall design concept but reduce the cost significantly. Leaving you more left over to invest in quality high performance appliances or maybe even put towards that dream custom robe fit out.
When it comes to planning the perfect laundry design for your family and how you need this significant space to function on a daily basis, it's important to discuss your ideas with an experienced cabinetry designer. Having someone who listens and knows the right questions to ask, can not only improve your overall laundry design and project outcome, but will have suggestions for saving you money or enabling you to balance your project budget in such a way that you invest in important areas while saving in others. It's sometimes difficult to imagine, but for every great storage or space saving idea you may have discovered on Pinterest or the pages of your favourite magazines, there can be an evolution of that concept, or an entirely different approach you hadn't considered that could better enhance your individual space and your user experience longterm.
So wash away memories of dark cramped spaces and sky high piles of unruly dirty washing – Jack is here to help. Please send us your online enquiry now via the contacts page or call the office on (07) 3277 9797 to arrange your laundry design consultation.

Immunology of Fungal Infections (GRS)
Understanding the Host-Fungal Dialogue: Implications for Therapy and Management
Chairs Rebecca A. Drummond and Marc Swidergall

Office Phone: 409-765-7721 ext. 271
The incidence of fungal infections is rising and is a serious threat to public health, yet this problem is relatively under-appreciated by the press, the public and funding agencies. Some fungal infections are highly lethal and disproportionately affect vulnerable patients such as neonates and transplant and cancer patients. The requirement for immune-based therapies and novel antifungal drugs to counteract these worrying trends is therefore greater than ever. Recent advances in the fungal immunology field have led to an increasing awareness of the impact of commensal fungi on the mucosal immune system, as well as the intricate fungal evasion mechanisms that promote disease. Yet, there remains a wealth of questions as to how fungi invade host tissues and how the immune system responds to this invasion.
In this Seminar, the upcoming next generation of fungal immunologists from around the world will be brought together to present cutting-edge ideas and novel insights that helps us to understand the mechanisms underlying fungal-host interactions, the molecular pathways that promote protection against fungal infections, and how this information might be exploited in the clinic. The program will promote discussion on these topics and will conclude with a final training session on communicating research to journal editors, the public and grant committees.
This meeting is an ideal opportunity for early-career researchers in the fungal immunology field wishing to present their new research, expand their network of contacts, and receive informal career advice from senior faculty and rising stars within the field, who will be present as Discussion Leaders.
This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Immunology of Fungal Infections" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.

A revolutionary boat-inspired hospital buoyed by family values.
We created the 'Children's Ark' — a sustainable community built around user needs, the concept of the family and Brighton's nautical spirit.
Clinical studies helped us plan departments: the top decks house parents' accommodation, a staff lounge and children's play decks open to sea and sun, while inpatients are above clinical support with outpatients below.
Furniture and windows are child-scaled and all bedrooms have sea views. Meanwhile balconies provide relaxation areas on every floor and the central atrium binds all levels, delivering natural light and acting as a social hub.
A wonderful iconic, innovative, functional building encompassing all the requirements of a world-class children's and young people's hospital.
The four storey building, home to the UK's first pioneering Rare Diseases Centre for Children, comprises a combined inpatient and outpatient cancer centre and three new operating theatres.

In many religious circles, prosperity is a bad word. But the Bible itself says: "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." (3 John 1:2) So what does it mean to be prosperous? In this message, Pastor Creflo Dollar reveals the secret to grace-based prosperity in all areas of your life.
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.
Creflo Dollar - Creflo Dollar, Atlanta mega-church pastor and former Word of Faith televangelist, embraced the grace message in 2012. He is now a leading figure in the movement to present the Gospel of Grace to the African-American church.


We stayed at a place called Cocoloba run by Club Valtur at the same time Hurricane Lenny showed up. That was quite an experience. While there was some damage to the hotel, I can't seem to locate it on the Anguilla hotel directory. It was situated on Barnes Bay and was next to Malliouhana.
Nori's Reply: Cocoloba was one of our favorite Anguilla hotels! Though we never stayed there, it always peaked our curiosity. It was one of the "original" Anguilla resorts in more of a traditional style, tucked up on one of the most beautiful pieces of real estate in Anguilla.
You are so fortunate to have had the chance to stay there! Do you have any photos of the Anguilla resort?
By the time we started visiting Anguilla in 2002 Cocoloba was never fully open. Each time we passed by it was deserted, pool green, doors shut.
They tore it down around 2005. It was replaced by the luxurious Viceroy Anguilla. It extends East and West from the point between Meads Bay and Barnes Bay. I uploaded a picture of the resort during construction so you can get an idea of its style and size.
Viceroy is spectacular, but it's too bad Cocoloba didn't make it. It seemed to be the kind of spot you just fall in love with.
We were married in 1992 on the pristine property of the then Cocoloba Beach Resort, located on the beautiful Island of Anguilla. Although it was my wedding, I am proud to say that it was one of the best weddings I had ever attended. Cocoloba Resort and its staff went the extra mile to make sure it was a success, and it really was.
An arrangement of tropical flowers (our wedding colors) along with a bottle of chilled wine and an assortment of cheese and crackers awaited us in our cottage overlooking the starlit beach below. We couldn't resist the invitation by the soft tumbling waves to venture out with our bucket of goodies, sip our wine and reminisce about how organized everything was. Cocoloba's staff was simply awesome. We truly did not have to worry about anything. We woke up next morning on the beach around 3:00 AM to a slight drizzle - the only thing Cocoloba could not prevent.
One year later, we were back at Cocoloba for our one year Anniversary, and once again Cocoloba had pulled out all the stops - they prepared a table for two on their famous look out point and lavished us with a scrumptious three course meal as only they could do.
Where are you Cocoloba? Oh how we miss you!
We had a wonderful time there. There were these cottages overlooking the bluff as well as a motel unit in the back. I don't know where our pics. are after a recent move. It was just beautiful. Hurricane Lenny at the time even flooded the Valley. I'm sorry to hear it is gone. I just found this website and already love it!
We are a couple in early 30s with 2 small children living in Toronto. We are considering an Anguilla vacation (first time ever) just for the two of us.
We have traveled extensively (Australia, NZ, Asia, Africa, Europe, South America) but I am not sure how we missed this beautiful jewel.
We have visited the Caribbean a couple of times (Jamaica (twice), Bahamas and Turks & Caicos).
October 2010 is the plan to experience Anguilla.
We are wondering if you could please give us any tips on Anguilla hotels for 2 people for 5-6 nights. We are looking for something romantic, mid-range or upper mid-range, close to or on the beach and walking distance to the restaurants. We are huge beach lovers and would most likely rent a car (or bikes or scooters) to see as many beaches as we can.
We would love to hear your thoughts and tips. We are getting very excited to start planning our next vacation in beautiful Anguilla!
Nori's Reply: Zuzana and Adam, thank you so much for your kind words. Wow! You really have traveled quite extensively... I would love to see the things you have seen! You will have a wonderful vacation in Anguilla, I'm sure. For real travelers like yourself I would highly recommend renting a car and checking out every corner of this beautiful island!
If you want to be on the beach, Ku Hotel right on Shoal Bay is lovely and not very expensive.
If you are looking for something more upscale, pricier and more exclusive, I would highly recommend Malliouhana. Malliouhana is truly the epitome of classic Caribbean luxury! The resort's history is remarkable.
You can always explore the option of renting your own Anguilla villa as well. Not all Anguilla villas are extremely expensive. There are many affordable options available.
You might consider Carimar Beach Club on Mead's Bay just next to Malliouhana. Perfect for couples or family.....1 or 2 BR with brand new kitchens. The beach is gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. Casual, laid back, and very well priced.
Can you give me an email or phone number to contact Carol at C-Breeze hotel? I would love to go down and stay there. It will be my first time to that island.
Nori's Reply: Unfortunately, Carol has rented C-Breeze Inn for the long term. My best advice would be to contact Jackie Pascher. She will be able to set you up with something perfect!
Did you see my write up on Anguilla apartments? Try Klasher Apartments in North Hill. They are inexpensive, clean and very accommodating. Click here to read the write up on Anguilla apartments!
What is another good inexpensive hotel to stay at?
What is the status of the Viceroy? They are taking bookings on July 3rd, which is the day I arrive. Should I risk staying here with a half complete resort or is it nice and ready to enjoy?
If you had to choose between Carimar, Frangipani, or Ku.... which would be the best option?
Also, of the three, which has the best beach?
Finally, which is most accessible to restaurants on foot?
Nori's Reply: All of those hotels are fantastic choices! We loved our stay at the Anguilla hotel, Ku. It is inexpensive, right on the best beach in the Caribbean!, the units are clean and comfortable. The beach is lined with many little beach bars and great spots for lunch and a couple for dinner.
Frangipani and Carimar are both on Meads Bay, one of our favorite Anguilla beaches. Frangipani is slightly more expensive than Carimar, but that is reflected in the quality of room (I have not stayed there personally, but heard great things). Meads Bay has a couple of nicer, more refined restaurants for lunch and many for dinner. Either way, I would recommend using the Anguilla car rental service. There is still so much to see on this tiny island!
Comments for Best Anguilla Hotel Option?
Car rentals are very cheap....with a sub-compact costing about $25/day. It is absolutely essential to exploring the island. We will put 200 miles on our rental in 7 days exploring every nook and cranny we can.
My wife and I seem to gravitate towards Sandy ground and Shoal Bay East for the majority of our stays in Anguilla. These are two beaches that are "centrally" located on the island and have everything we love from good food and drink literally on the beach. Ku Hotel is definitely the best bang for the buck in my opinion, offering great amenities and activities all within walking distance of your hotel room. You have Gwen's Reggae Reef, Malakh Day Spa, Kuyah beach bar and restaurant, Uncle Ernies, Meaderimann beach restaurant, Smoothies water sports, snorkeling, boat charter and scuba trips, and a few other great things to do...all within beach strolling distance, and Shoal bay is close enough to everything else.
I concur with Nori's comment about a car rental.
Don't let the proximity to restaurants be the deciding factor to hotel selection. There are SO many great restaurants on the island and there is SO much more to see than just one of the 30+ beaches that a rental car is indispensable and worth every dime.
We used our car daily just to get breakfast from Le Bon Pain. Early morning is a great time to explore. A coffee and almond croissant on a secluded beach all to yourself just can't be beat!
We Want to Come to Anguilla!!!
I've been receiving your e-zine for at least 4 years now and we are coming close to making plans to come to Anguilla. We are in our late 50's, but very young at heart. We are looking for a place on a beach with calm water with beautiful blue color. We love to sit out on the beach and do nothing, except eat and hit the smaller local beach bars. Since our budget is limited from the expense of flying from Upstate New York, we could spend up to $200 a night. I know this is putting a lot on you, and don't blame you if you don't respond, but you are the only person I would trust to steer us in the right direction. This is a special trip for us and hope you can help.
Thank you for all the years of reading your adventures and giving me such a wonderful feel for the island. I look forward to receiving them and feel like I know you and your family.
Nori's Reply: I love hearing that readers have been following me for such a long time! :-) I am so glad to hear that you are planning your trip to Anguilla!
Hm... rates depend on when you come to the island. Right now there are many deals on Anguilla with tourism slowing. For sand, swim, drinking and eating the top spot I recommend is Ku Hotel. The accommodations are elegant and affordable! Plus, located on one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. You can't go wrong!
Have a wonderful vacation, I would love to hear about it when you get back!
Comments for We Want to Come to Anguilla!!!
Like Nori said, the Ku is is Shoal Bay East (said to be the best beach in the world). After Easter all the resorts drop their prices. I think the Arawak is around $200/night after Easter, probably the Ku too. The Ku has at least 4 restaurants and bars within walking distance of your hotel room. The Arawak has some real hospitality and a great cafe/restaurant attached. You'll have to walk to a beach from it, and there's less of a selection of beach bars immediately nearby.
Let me first compliment your talent and hard work at this great site. I've been following its development since 2004!
My husband and I are thinking about the winter escape.
Last winter we spent on Canary Islands and were not impressed at all. Imagine, we are "digital nomads" with no Internet!!??? Yes, Internet is a great luxury on Canaries. So, we are not going back as you may guess.
1. If we rent an Anguilla apartment for let's say 2 months would we get any discount or $150 is the best we can get in high season? We are flexible here but still the visit would be in the high season.
2. Do these Anguilla apartments have an Internet connection?
That is pretty much all we need to know.
I just sent an email to your Dad's friend Malcolm Hope-Ross regarding offshore company, so we have one more reason to come to your beloved island.
BTW it always amazes me how much you love Anguilla. Only passionate love for this "paradise" can build site like this.
PS, BTW, we are in Montreal at the moment :-) We are staying here for two months, but I guess you and your family do not miss it at all. Jazz festival has just started and as you know, Montreal is beautiful in summer time!
Nori's Reply: Zorana, thank you so much for your kind words!
1. Two months seems short for a long-term Anguilla rental. Generally if you rent an Anguilla apartment for 6 months - 1 year you have more negotiating power. But who knows what is possible in this market? I recommend you shop around and see what is available... Try contacting some of our favorite Anguilla apartments: Klasher Apartments, Cheddie's Long-Term Anguilla Rentals or Jackie Pascher (our favorite Anguilla real estate agent) for more information on availabilities.
Just note that there are vacant Anguilla apartments, and I'm sure, good deals to be made!
Best of luck with your work! I do hope you make it to Anguilla and our paths cross!
I love your website - thanks for keeping me updated (and keeping me daydreaming at work).
I was thinking about visiting Anguilla again in Feb and wanted to stay at the Madeariman, but I can't find any recent info for it. Is it still open?
Nori's Reply: Mary, thank you so much for your nice words. I am so happy that my website has been so useful in planning your Anguilla vacation. Sadly, Madeariman Beach Club is no longer open as an Anguilla hotel, but it's still a nice spot to grab a fish sandwich!
If you are looking for Anguilla's best value hotel, I strongly recommend Carimar Beach Club right on Meads Bay. You won't find better value than that offered by Carimar Beach Club!
I would like information about the cheap Anguilla accommodations, C-Breeze Inn.
Nori's Reply: Unfortunately, C-Breeze Inn is no longer available, now under a long term lease. If you are seeking low cost Anguilla accommodations, and if you are interested in being right on the beach, you will not find anything of greater value than Carimar Beach Club. The Anguilla accommodations are tasteful, clean, and the best part? Right on Meads Bay, and for a great price too!
Click here for more information on Carimar Beach Club.
James Place Apartments is located on the East End of the Island in Mount Fortune. 8 1 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, New Fully Furnished, Air Conditioned 8 unit building with laundry on site,quiet and clean, close to the most beautiful beaches. Walking distance to Junks Hole beach or Island Harbor.
I have heard of "Holiday Cottages" from this blog and I want to thank you for sharing it with us.
If you are an artist, Miss Jimmy's Artist Retreat is a quirky, fun place for work and play at a great rate on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. It has an artist studio for your use.
Viceroy Anguilla or Cap Juluca Resort?
I love your blog and have found it very informative. I was hoping you could help me decide between these two resorts. I was married at Cap Juluca and got engaged there many years ago.
We want to come back for our anniversary but Viceroy is less expensive and seems to be nicer in terms of email responses in terms of accommodating us.
Not sure if Cap Juluca is still a good place to stay, and having only been there in 2001 and 2002 I am at a loss.
I like luxury and good service. I am hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction since I am really torn and don't know which resort to choose.
We are going this October for two weeks. Reviews online seem to favor Viceroy.
Nori's Reply: Choosing between Viceroy Anguilla and Cap Juluca... What a choice... Where to start? They are both five-star Anguilla resorts, all the way!
Viceroy opened in December 2009, and is very modern and widely considered the super-luxury resort on the island. It has been attracting many celebrities, including Sandra Bullock and Michael Jordan, and has been the site of many Anguilla Victoria Secret photoshoots.
This Anguilla resort really gets it right in terms of scenery, cuisine (some of the best restaurants on the island, don't miss Viceroy Anguilla's Sunset Lounge) and modern style.
This resort is not the traditional Anguilla you may know. Many say that it feels more like a hotel in California, or maybe Miami. The rooms are stylish and hip.
The resort is set in between two beaches, on a rocky promontory. The views are sensational! You will not have direct beach access. You will have to walk down to the beach, and you have Meads Bay or Barnes Bay to choose from. Both sensational.
The only negative I can think of were the issues of "bad service" in the resort's early days. They now have a tremendous staff who work tirelessly. Service is certainly up to par.
Cap Juluca has renovated their main lobby and restaurants, and has a beautiful bar overlooking the beach. It is picturesque in the evening. Through the renovations they have maintained their Mediterranean feel and design.
They have also been renovating their rooms, but have not completed them. I have heard complaints of the rooms being a tad "weathered."
I have not heard many rave reviews for the resort's restaurants, and have not tried them.
The biggest advantage of staying at Cap Juluca is the sandy beachfront, which is literally right at your room's edge.
All in all, if you are looking for an all around five-star experience at the most reasonable cost, Viceroy might be your best bet. If a more traditional Anguilla experience right on the beach is more appealing, perhaps Cap Juluca is for you!
Comments for Viceroy Anguilla or Cap Juluca Resort?
Maurice, I very much appreciate your comments about the wind on the beach at The Viceroy vs Cap Juluca. I had read just the opposite but your comments sound as if you really do know based on your personal experience. Thus clear beach edge to CJ. Given all the recent financial issues, legal wrangling, etc, do you have a 2014 update on CJ room conditions, food, service, management and the like currently at Cap Juluca? Anyone else have a comment?
The stay in Anguilla (or any Caribbean resort) is all about the "experience". Viceroy is on the windy side of the island. The beaches are not pleasant to lay on or even play on. The waves are rougher, the shoreline is not that pretty.
Cap Juluca, on the other hand, has one of the most picturesque beaches in the world. And since the beachfront and ocean experience is a big part of what you are traveling to the Caribbean for, shouldn't that weigh heavily?
The food at Cap Juluca is absolutely fantastic. As a matter of fact, their Executive Sous Chef from PIMMS took the Silver medal at the Taste of the Caribbean culinary competition in Miami in June 2011. I challenge you to find better food on Anguilla.
The rooms were recently renovated, but have always had that wonderful, Mediterranean feel. There is nothing like doors that open up to white sand and ocean like theirs do.
All in all, I would gladly argue that Cap Juluca is by far the better overall experience, if not simply for the beach and food alone. But with everything else they offer, a truly superior exerience.

TAPPING INTO YOUR ANXIETY
Anxiety is so personal, isn't it? I have come to understand that over the last couple if years in particular. What I feel is what I feel and how I deal with it is personal, too. Make no mistake about it, I am not carrying it around like a thorn in my side or being pessimistic about it. I am just saying that when it is in my space – it is a force to be reckoned with.
Recently, someone told me about the children's book There Is no Such Thing As a Dragon. In short, a little boy discovers and befriends a small dragon living in his home but his mother refuses to believe that the dragon exists. So the dragon gets bigger and bigger and only when she faces the fact that the dragon is real does it shrink to normal size. The little boy makes the point that the dragon just wants to be noticed.
Ah ha! Such is anxiety.
This is one of the tips in my latest vlog, Tapping Into Your Anxiety–Acknowledge it. And after doing this, you can gain control to manage it. Sounds like a plan to me. Check out Tapping Into Your Anxiety on my You Tube channel and please do give us a like and subscribe.
Take care of you inside out.

Dealing With Grief Podcast Released
Grief is hard-hitting no matter when it comes. When my mother passed nearly five years ago after a long illness, I remember feeling the weight of grief and wondering if life would ever be good again. Still I pressed on in a world that had its problems, but never quite felt the real threat of my own health or existence. Admittedly, I thought about it, quite a natural part of grief, but under the uncertain cloud of Covid-19, the Covid era, it feels like I am staring my own mortality in the face all too often, making the weight of grief seem unbearable at times.
Sadly, those of us who have lost relatives during this perilous time, directly related to the virus or not, are grieving in a crowded space–one that continues to escalate daily. At the end of July, there were over 690,000 deaths linked to the pandemic and two months later, the pandemic has claimed over a million lives worldwide, which is more than a 50% increase.
That's heavy stuff for anyone, let alone someone who is grieving. Thus, it made perfect sense to catch up with grief specialist Kristi Hugstad, also known as grief girl, to tape a podcast to unpack this heavy sorrow and examine how to navigate the space in real time, if you will. Many people, amongst them teenage girls, will be experiencing up close and personal loss for the first time, while trying to cope with the pandemic simultaneously.
Dealing With Grief is loaded with encouraging advice, while examining the importance of accepting grief as a journey, considering its various layers and understanding its meandering nature. Listen on iTunes or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

UIO Back to School Mini Series Launches
A September child, I have always felt grounded in the Autumn. Always waiting for a breath a fresh air, a new beginning. This one has been no different in that sense, me reflecting on the past and preparing for the future–my New Year of sorts. But this year, I, along with everybody else, am facing perhaps one the most challenging Septembers of all times.
The Covid 19 global pandemic has presented challenges for all of us to one degree or another. It rather feels like the storm has ripped through our lives and left a lot of rebuilding to do whether personally or professionally.
To this end. I am excited to announce UIO's first podcast in our Back to School Mini Series. Staying Safe At School During the Covid Era features five panellist who engage in thought provoking conversation about the return to school in both the US and the UK.
Whether returning physically or virtually, educationalist and students alike are putting safety first to ensure that they can learn in an uncertain space. Panellists Carmen Li and Sue Atkins both point out the importance of having our basic needs met first.

Season Review: Women's Soccer enjoys fruitful and memorable 2019 season
By Bud Denega
ADA — It certainly isn't easy, and that's why not many teams have accomplished it. The 2019 Ohio Northern women's soccer team won both the Ohio Athletic Conference regular-season title and tournament crown with an unblemished record, a feat only accomplished six other times in conference history.
"It's so hard," ONU head coach Mark Batman said. "… It proves you can win. It proves you can win on the road. It proves you can play through bad weather and get results. It proves you can play through multiple players being injured and get results. When the conference tournament rolls around, you're trying to beat teams you've already beaten, and that's always a true test of teams' preparation."
That conference dominance — an 11-0-0 record — included a road 2-1 win at then-No. 17 Otterbein and another 2-1 victory over the Cardinals in the OAC Tournament Championship match. The Polar Bears' regular-season slate saw them take on multiple nationally-ranked foes, and Northern's navigation of its tough schedule earned it a couple home matches during the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
ONU downed Grove City (Pa.) 2-0 in the opening round before edging Scranton (Pa.) in penalty kicks to punch its ticket to the school's second-ever Sweet 16. The Polar Bears' run came to close in the third round, as they fell to Carnegie Mellon (Pa.) 3-0 in a match played at Wheaton College (Ill.).
Northern finished with an 18-3-3 overall mark and ranked No. 19 in the country. That included a 14-game win streak and a 15-game unbeaten streak, which ties a school record.
ONU was stacked with many special players and several of them were recognized for an outstanding 2019 performance. Junior Jenna Fuller (Countryside, Ill./Lyons Township) was named a first-team All-American and Scholar All-American by the United Soccer Coaches. She also reeled in first-team All Great Lakes Region accolades and OAC Forward of the Year honors among others.
"Her development has never been scoring goals," Batman said. "Jenna's development this year has been maturation and being big in big moments. She was huge in big games. … It has been rewarding to watch her development, and I'm excited to see what happens with her."
Frankly put, Fuller had the most outstanding offensive performance in Batman's 16 years at the helm. Her 20 goals in 2019 were tied for the third most in a single season in school history and the most since 1997. The 20 goals were also tied for the most by any junior at ONU. Fuller's 48 career goals ranks her fourth all-time in school history, and her 113 points are sixth all-time.
Senior Haley Moses (Mason) made third-team All-America — and second-team Scholar All-America — after logging three goals and three assists from her midfield position. She was also named first-team All-Great Lakes Region. Moses finished with 20 career assists and that tied her for ninth all-time in program history.
Senior goaltender Meagan Grierson (Dayton/Miamisburg) made OAC history. She became the first player ever to win the OAC Goaltender of the Year award four straight years.
"She's unbelievable," Batman said. "She's a tough one to lose, for sure. I'm really proud of her, and really proud of what she's done. Her and I have a love-hate relationship, and it's just special."
Grierson logged a career-best 70 saves this season. That gave her 210 for her career, which ranks sixth in school history.
Grierson — who was also a Great Lakes Region first-team selection — boasted a conference-best 12 shut outs, and that gave her 44 for her career, and that's tops in program history.
Junior Sydney Leshnak (Cincinnati/Mount Notre Dame) garnered OAC Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second consecutive season, while also being named first-team All-Great Lakes Region. She netted three goals and had four assists.
Senior Rose Nienaber (Cincinnati/Oak Hills) also reeled in first-team All-OAC and first-team All-Great Lakes Region recognition. She recorded nine goals — second best on the team — and eight assists, which gave her 21 for her career and that's tied for seventh in school history.
Junior Megan Breier (Plainfield, Ill./North) and sophomore Carissa Beckham (Mason/Mount Notre Dame) earned second-team All-OAC recognition, while freshman Jerzy Zito (Maumee/Anthony Wayne) garnered honorable mention All-OAC.
With many of the aforementioned players returning next season, Batman — who was named OAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career — can't help but be excited for what the future holds.
"It's exciting. The program is in a good place," Batman said. "I feel as though the girls that are graduating helped put us back to where I felt where we were slowing getting to in 2012-13."

Leadership Unscripted: Addressing the World's Biggest Problems, From Individual to Global Scale
School News / Leadership
By Jen A. Miller
Issues like global poverty and hunger, racial injustice, human trafficking and the opioid crisis are wreaking havoc across large stretches of the world, and may seem insurmountable. How should one consider approaching worldwide problems?
At a recent Leadership Unscripted Speaker Series talk hosted by the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, Baroness Philippa Stroud, CEO of the Legatum Institute and a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom, spoke with UVA Professor Lucy Bassett about confronting social challenges, from the individual level up through world-wide efforts to make real global change.
Both Stroud and Bassett have worked on the ground level on these issues, Stroud in Hong Kong and Macau with substance abuse disorder communities, and Bassett in Guatemala while with the Peace Corps.
They feel it informs their work today. Stroud said that's especially true in Parliament where, as a member of the House of Lords, she reviews legislation already passed by the House of Commons. "When I look at legislation, in a way I've got all their faces in my mind," said Stroud.
Bassett agreed. "I often think of the kids I used to make tortillas with, and herd the sheep, and think through what this would mean to them."
However, making sure those voices are heard isn't as easy as having every single potential policy maker visit another community. While taking tours of affected areas or even staying overnight with families that need help can give those policy makers a view into those lives, it doesn't embed them in that world. Bassett said it also raises concerns of "inappropriate voyeuristic tourism."
One potential model that's worked is sending members of parliament on a weeklong stay in another community, said Stroud. In exchange, a member of the affected community then comes to Parliament for a week "to see some of the challenges of policy making and the legislative process," she said. Enjoining a panel to work on a problem long term can also help, because "longer term exposure builds the meaning," Bassett added.
They also spoke of the challenge of fighting poverty, starting with how exactly poverty is defined. Setting a poverty line at 60 percent of the country's median household income (as the UK has previously done) means that the amount of people living in poverty changes with the economy. If the economy booming, more people will technically live in poverty because the median income goes up. If the economy crashes, fewer people will be below the line because the line itself goes down.
In 2016, Stroud founded the Social Metric Commission to create a new UK poverty measure to replace the 60 percent mark. They looked at how much a household needs in terms of income to survive but also lived experience factors like length of time they were in poverty, education, skills, mental health and debt.
She found that, by talking to leaders on the left and right of the political divide, they all agreed on some of the same things. "It can't be beyond the wit of man to actually bring that together and create something we can rally around," she said.
When thinking internationally about pursuing social change, Bassett brought up the importance of not telling other countries what they need to do, especially when doing so would be a perpetuation of colonialization.
"They're going to set their own pathway. They're going to chart their own direction and create their own national plan and take charge of their future," Stroud said. "Even when they're the recipient of aid, they don't let the aid dictate what they're going to do."
They spoke about another pressing global issue: how climate change will continue to turn more people into climate refugees.
During World War II, one of Stroud's family members evacuated to Canada and "may well be alive today because Canada took him in," she said. "That story is replicated thousands of times throughout the UK, how our own people have sought safety and security and then come back. That is the story across Western Europe and yet [people] seem to have forgotten that this can help to us too."
Stroud anticipates that, overall, the private sector will play a role in addressing these global issues because that's where innovation lives. "If you allow the private sector to really thrive and flourish, then they will address the challenges of climate change, and all those challenges you just laid out," she said, and called on the Darden community to recognize their potential role in these changes "The Darden alumni listening to this will be the people who will solve some of our biggest challenges."

If you're dealing with a health condition or recovering from surgery that requires durable medical equipment (DME), you may find yourself wondering where to get started. The good news is, your health insurance typically covers applicable DME, like a wheelchair, walker, breast pump or oxygen. But, getting a DME and making sure it's covered according to your Wellmark benefits requires a little more than just showing up at the store and making the purchase.
That's why it's important to follow these 4 steps.
This is essential to applying your health insurance benefits to DME. Talk to your doctor about what you might need, based on your condition. If you're pregnant and need a breast pump, for example, talk about getting the prescription a few weeks ahead of your due date, so you have it in-hand at the hospital on delivery day.
Customer Service can make sure your benefits apply to the DME you need, verify what brands are covered, and help you understand your cost share. Whether it's a copay, coinsurance, or deductible amount, we'll help you understand the portion of the cost you'll be responsible for.
You can also log in or register for myWellmark® to learn more about your benefits.
It's simple to find a DME provider near you with myWellmark. By logging in, you can be sure you're searching for DME providers in your plan's network. Using an in-network provider is the simplest way to avoid unexpected costs and make sure you get the most from your benefits.
At this point, you can work with your provider to determine how much that copay, coinsurance or deductible actually amounts to, and if the equipment will be purchased or provided on a rental basis. All of these details are specific to your benefits, so work with your provider and Wellmark Customer Service to make the most of your DME benefits.


It's easy to shut down.
Finance minster Arun Jaitley, in his budget speech today (Feb. 01), stated that the government will do everything to discontinue the use of bitcoin and other virtual currencies in India. He reiterated that India does not recognise them as legal tender and will instead encourage blockchain technology in payment systems.
Prediction 2: Instability does not a currency make.
3. It fluctuates wildly. That's great for speculators but terrible for commerce…in a world built for dollars. If Macy's accepted Bitcoin, your 1Bc jacket might deduct either $80 or $150 from your account. Jersey housewives are less volatile.
8. Benefits to merchants are marginal. Bitcoin evangelists argue that Bitcoin is cheaper to accept and process than credit cards. Not really. To compete, Bitcoin would need to have chargebacks, customer service, transaction processing, system development/maintenance, and rewards. Factor in all those costs plus a small profit and the economics start to look almost exactly like those of credit cards.
Chainalysis notes that the "vast majority" of transactions it analysed showed bitcoin being received from exchanges and rarely sent to merchant services to pay for goods or services.
"Speculation remains the primary use case for these digital assets; merchant or institutional adoption does not appear to be a primary driver of price," says Preston Byrne, an English structured finance lawyer and cryptocurrency observer.
The number of retailers accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment is declining, and its biggest corporate boosters like IBM, NASDAQ, Fidelity, Swift, and Walmart have gone long on press but short on actual rollout. Even the most prominent blockchain company, Ripple, doesn't use blockchain in its product. You read that right: the company Ripple decided the best way to move money across international borders was to not use Ripples.
Over the past year or two, as block size limits have been reached, Bitcoin has evolved to become better-suited to being an asset than being a means of exchange.
Because of this, we've seen the desire from our customers to accept Bitcoin decrease. And of the businesses that are accepting Bitcoin on Stripe, we've seen their revenues from Bitcoin decline substantially. Empirically, there are fewer and fewer use cases for which accepting or paying with Bitcoin makes sense.
"In the past few months we've seen an increase in the volatility in the value of Bitcoin and a significant increase in the fees to process transactions on the Bitcoin network," Valve said in a post on Steam.
Prediction 3: It's like calculus.
7. It's more complex than Linux. Don't know what Linux is or how it works? Exactly. Bitcoins violate so many of the basic rules of payments innovation, I'll shamelessly point you to my last article on that subject.
"Bitcoin hasn't really made it mainstream. What we decided to do with Stellar is create this common language," she said.
She added that the trouble with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is that they're challenging to understand and can even be hard to acquire, as they must be "mined" or bought from specialty exchanges, which creates a lot of friction. Stellar, she says, is creating a universal network.
Although I don't think the US government can stop cryptocurrency, I do think it could create the winner–let's call it "USDC" for US Digital Currency–and fix some challenges that governments currently face with cryptocurrency.
I think the first superpower government to do something like this will have an enviable position in the future of the world, and some power over a worldwide currency.
Stablecoins have raised over $350 million.
We now have 45 projects fighting for the exact same prize.
Whether it be Saga, SwissRealCoin, Havven, or a dozen other candidates, cryptocurrencies that are backed by real assets to help reduce volatility are becoming increasingly popular.
Another opportunity is to go where you're wanted…Countries with runaway inflation, weak currencies, or those dependent on dollars might want something more stable.
Ledger audit trails are a dream come true for tech-savvy authoritarian states, like China (Apr 2018).

POINTE COUPEE - False River is lower today as the first-ever, man-induced drawdown begins on the oxbow lake.
It's part of a plan to rehabilitate the area. State and local leaders are lowering the water so contractors can pump out waste and unwanted sediment. It should result in much better fishing in what was once a favorite spot for anglers.
"The ecosystem is really going to be amazing in about two or three years with what we're trying to do today," said Jim Major who is the owner of local boat launch, Jim's Place.
Residents will also have the chance to make repairs and clean-up property that would normally be underwater.
"Cleaning up the areas, pulling debris out the lake," Major said. "Everybody is really pumped up about their repairs that they can do."
"With the water out of there, it's a lot easier to get to your piers and access your bracing underneath," said Kyle Olinde of Pointe Coupee Police Jury District 5. "You don't have to physically work in the water."
People living in Pointe Coupee say this downdraw should have happened years ago and blame politics for keeping the lake unhealthy for so long.
"Wildlife and Fisheries warned Pointe Coupee about the consequences of putting so much silt in the river," said local resident, Keith Robilard. "And exactly what they predicted happened. Maybe this will be the first step to listen to what they say."
Boaters are urged to take caution on the lake until it returns to its normal depth in March of next year.

I'm shocked to learn that Canadian feminist icon Doris Anderson passed away on the 2nd at St. Michael's hospital in Toronto. She was an influential editor for Chatelaine magazine from 1957 to 77.
I met & talked with her only once at her house at Mollie Gillen's 90th birthday party in 1998.
Mollie often told me that because Doris asked her to write an article on LMM, Mollie started to read LMM's books and that eventually Mollie located the now famous bunch of letters written by LMM to Mr Macmillan in Scotland.
So, Mollie's article on LMM appeared in such a popular magazine and received high praise from the readers. Based on the short article, Mollie developed a biography of LMM, The Wheel of Things which was published in 1975.
I saw Doris at the LMM conference in 94 and learned that Doris was a friend of Adrian Clarkson (former Governor General) who is a fan of LMM and made a brilliant speech at the conference. The speech is published in Gammel and Epperly's L.M. Montgomery and Canadian Culture (1999).
If Doris didn't pay attention to LMM in the 70s, Mollie would not have thought about writing the biography, let alone reading LMM's books. I learned a life of LMM through "The wheel of things".
To me, as an enthusiast of LMM, I would like to thank Doris Anderson sincerely.
