Here at The Girl's Guide, we get tons of questions from law school applicants about how to best frame their application story. Rather than making stuff up that may or may not be right, we're bringing in the big guns!
Please welcome Eileen Conner, founder of Pen and Chisel, who has agreed to serve as our resident expert on law school application writing. Eileen is here to help with any law school application questions you might have — including personal statements, diversity statements, addenda, and any other items you need to submit.

Q: I think I'm done with my personal statement! What should I watch out for while I'm polishing it up?
Congratulations! A final draft is a real achievement. Now it's up to you to find and fix any lingering grammar, usage, or spelling issues. By proofreading thoughtfully and well, you can solidify your essay and make a positive impression on the admissions committee.
Most proofreading problems will be straightforward and easy to solve. However, you may find that some present more complex challenges.
With that in mind, let's take a look at a few more subjective grammatical issues.
In some situations, multiple accepted usages, spellings, or grammatical structures may be available. In this circumstance, you can generally choose the usage you like best — as long as you make a thoughtful decision and stick with it. If you've used a particular structure once, continue to use it consistently throughout your entire essay.
For instance, consider the use of commas in a list. The Oxford or serial comma — a comma placed after the second-to-last item in a list of three or more items, immediately before the conjunction linking to the last item — has fallen in and out of favor at various times.
Either of these usages is acceptable in contemporary written English. This means you can choose whether you want to use the Oxford comma or simply leave it out. However, mixing and matching the two usages throughout your essay can make your proofreading look sloppy and careless. It's far better to choose one usage or the other and use it in every list. This will make you look conscientious and highlight your attention to detail.
Of course, sometimes you'll come across usages that have not achieved full grammatical acceptance. Since English — and all languages — change gradually as people speak them, there are always going to be different bits and pieces phasing in and out of style.
Faced with a grammatically questionable situation, which usage should you choose?
On the whole, it's safer to err on the side of conservatism, since law is a conservative field and academic opinion tends to change slowly.
Older, more established grammatical structures will generally be considered correct. Consult a reference such as Strunk and White or the Chicago Manual of Style to double-check whether a given usage is accepted.
In the examples above, this would mean choosing "all right" over "alright," replacing "their" with an appropriately gendered pronoun or rephrasing the sentence to work around the issue, and avoiding the use of conjunctions at the beginning of a sentence.
However, in circumstances like these, the final choice really rests on your personal judgement. Just make sure that you've identified potential problem areas and made a considered decision instead of just letting the chips fall where they may.
By making a real effort to be careful and thoughtful with your final proofreading, you can produce a highly polished personal statement that will make an excellent impression on the admissions committee.

Old East proper encompasses the area bound by Adelaide Street on the west and the CN and CP rail yards to the North, South and East. For real estate purposes the area south of Dundas, including the Western Fairgrounds ends up being a part of the Ealing neighbourhood and this zone ends up embracing area called Carling heights and for our purposes will be bound by Adelaide on the west, Highbury Avenue on the east, Oxford on the north and Dundas on the south. This area is notable as one of city's oldest neighbourhoods. The area has been hit hard by the suburbanization of London. On the upside, there are a growing number of people who see great value in the area and recognize the historical value of many of the homes as well as the charm of many streets, for the Queen Anne and Cottage Style homes and they have been willing to invest in renovating and improving the homes in the area. It is home to Banting Museum.
London East, unlike London North was not part of the Crown Reserve at the Forks of the Thames. It grew out of a swamp known as Priest's Swamp, due to the close proximity of a priest's house situated on its eastern boundary.
The original boundaries of the 1810 survey of London East were set at the Thames River to the south, Oxford Street to the north, Adelaide Street on the west, and Highbury Avenue on the east.
At the time, the largest land owner in the area was the Church of England (Diocese of Huron); and this land covered the area south of Dundas to Trafalgar, and east from Adelaide to Rectory. In 1857, this land was put up for sale, and by the 1880s all the land was sold.
The history of London East begins in 1851 when Murray Anderson purchased a lot on the northeast corner of Adelaide andDundas. Anderson's home was the first brick house in London East and the only brick house east of Burwell Street. Andersonalso gained fame as the first mayor of the newly incorporated City of London. Anderson was a dealer of tin ware, and he constructed a large iron foundry on the southwest corner of Adelaide and Dundas, now the site of London Police Headquarters.
Anderson's foundry, the Globe, gave rise to the London East community and initiated the area's industrial history. The employees of the Globe, wanting to be close to work, built their homes close to the workplace. They bought inexpensive, small lots from land speculators.
The London East of today is vastly different from the London East of yesterday, and the people of today will find little to indicate that it was once a busy industrial suburb.
As important as the Globe foundry was, it was the oil industry which drove the rise in the prominence of London East. The first oil wells in North America were located in Lambton County in 1857. The refineries were located in Woodstock in Oxford County, but they were so far away, so in 1863 William Spencer and his partner, Herman Waterman, moved their entire operation to London East. The earliest refinery was built on the east side of Adelaide, south of the Great Western tracks and Bathurst Street, on the present site of the City Works Department.
Business rapidly expanded and other refineries joined Spencer and Waterman. Among the more prominent were Duffield Bros. (Forest City Refinery), Stedwell & Co., L.C. Leonard, Burns & Co., and Bailey, Duffield and Co. The first use of the crude petroleum was lamp oil because little capital was required for the industry. Technological advances soon resulted in the smaller producers being pushed out, and in 1876 six of the larger companies formed the London Oil Refining Company. Each company continued to operate independently but all profits were pooled.
The largest competitor to the London Oil Refining Company was Silver Star Works, built in 1870 by Englehart, Guggenheim & Co. The significance of American involvement in the oil industry is represented by the presence of Jacob L. Englehart, an Ohio native, and Isaac Guggenheim, a member of the famous entrepreneurial family from New York City.
Eventually the oil refiners realized that in union lay strength, and largely due to William Spencer and Frederick A. Fitzgerald, "the rival groups combined forces on April 30, 1880, to carry on trade and business 'under the name and firm of Imperial Oil Company'…". The old Silver Star Refinery on Bathurst Street, became Imperial Oil's sole London East refinery.
The stability and prosperity of Imperial Oil was grievously halted on July 11, 1883, when lightning stuck the Imperial Oil refinery and the entire premises were destroyed by fire. Leery of further fires and inadequate fire protection the company rebuilt in Petrolia.
The presence of the oil industry and supporting secondary industries established industry as the economic mainstay of the community and attracted a considerable population of factory workers. From 1856 until 1864, the population had grown to 500 people. By the time the community amalgamated with London proper, the population had risen to 2,000.
Months of internal wrangling led up to the amalgamation of London East, due to anti-amalgamationists fearing extra taxes and loss of London East's uniqueness. The amalgamation committee finally came to terms, and the amalgamation of London East and London was formally effected on August 20, 1885. With amalgamation, London East received water from the Springbank Waterworks, police and fire protection, street improvements, and the rebuilding of the G.T.R. Car Shops, which had been destroyed by fire on September 21, 1884.
During the amalgamation, London banned all oil refineries because of heavy pollutants, and encouraged cleaner industries such as breweries and financial institutions. Until recent years, businesses stretched along Dundas Street, but a recognizable business district grew up on the corner of Adelaide and Dundas, known as Lilley's Corners. Charles Lilley's block of businesses appeared as early as 1864, and other businesses soon followed, including the Anderson Block, erected on the north side of Dundas by Murray Anderson.
During 1970s and 80s London's boundaries had considerably enlarged and, like other cities, it developed a suburban ring accompanied by several large shopping malls. These crippled the Old East commercial district on Dundas between Adelaide and Rectory (Centretown, as it was then called) and the area has never recovered. Most of the area's storefronts have been sadly neglected in the past few decades, and many are in desperate need of repair.
The neighbourhood is hopeful that a city-funded facade improvement program will help bring these lovely storefronts back from the brink.
Sir Frederick G. Banting Square, adjacent to the Banting House National Historic Site, is highlighted by two features: a statue of Frederick Banting and the Flame of Hope.
The life-size statue of this famous Canadian, was commissioned by the London & District Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association in 1988. The statue depicts him at the approximate age of 30, shortly after the discovery of insulin, and is the focal point of Sir Frederick G. Banting Square.
On July 7, 1989, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother kindled the Flame of Hope before 4,000 spectators. This symbol of hope burns for all those with diabetes that a cure will soon be found. It is also recognized as a tribute to Dr. Banting's unrelenting pursuit of insulin; to the lives already lost to the disease; and to the continuing perseverance of those who live with diabetes today. While the Flame of Hope is a symbol of hope, it is also a reminder that insulin is only a control for diabetes, not a cure. Only when that cure is at last found, will the Flame of Hope be extinguished.
Even though several buildings that made up the former Canadian Forces base have already been demolished, a small military presence in the form of Reserve and Cadet units will remain on a portion of the site, including "A" Block or Wolseley Hall, which houses the RCR Regimental Museum and Headquarters as it has been designated as a national historic site.
Canadian Forces Base London (or Wolseley Barracks as it was more popularly known) was situated on land that had a long military connection. It was originally part of the John Carling farm. Carling, son of the famous brewer and one of Sir John A. Macdonald's cabinet ministers, gave the Militia permission to use his farm for summer training camps beginning in the mid-1860s.
In 1885 the Dominion government was seeking a new site for infantry school. Conservative supporters of Carling, especially Josiah Blackburn's Free Press, suggested Carling's farm as a logical choice for a permanent military base. However, the Liberal newspaper, The Advertiser, cried foul. Complicating matters was the fact the City was looking for a new site for the Western Fair Grounds (then just to the north of Victoria park), and Carling's farm seemed to be the logical choice. It took a municipal referendum to settle the issue. The Western Fair Grounds went to its present location at Queen's park along Dundas, and the military bought part of the farm from Carling.
Wolseley Barracks, named for British Field Marshall Garnet Wolseley, has seen many changes over the past century. Tens of thousands of men and women were trained here during the First and Second World Wars in huge "tent cities." Period photos of the base can be seen in the RCR Museum collection. If you want to catch a glimpse of London's military past, take the time to drive through the base the next time that you are in the Carling Heights neighbourhood.
When it opened March 9, 1929, the Palace Theatre was hailed as "one of the finest and most complete establishments of its kind not only in London and Western Ontario but in the whole of Canada". Besides boasting the latest in heating systems and projection equipment, the interior decorative elements were equally impressive. Similar to but not as opulent as another theatre of the same vintage, the Pantages in Toronto, the auditorium reflected neo-Classic detailing associated with the English Baroque period.
The original proscenium (intact behind the new stage) is framed with a plain plaster molding and frieze decorated with rosettes, urns and acanthus leaves. On either side of this are semi-circular arched faux porticos with a "seating box" hidden behind a plaster lattice screen. The walls of the auditorium are capped with a prominent cornice with egg and dart and acanthus moldings. At intervals, there are Doric fluted pilasters with ram's head capitals.
The ceiling is patterned with another decorative molding featuring rosettes and wheat sheaves, framed in egg and dart. Six diamond shaped lozenges formed by the moldings framed tiered filigree metal and opaque glass chandeliers. The colour scheme was gold and brown. In the lobby, a drinking fountain as well as a storage room for baby carriages and bicycles were considered novel innovations. And in the upper ladies lounge, a glass panel was provided so that mothers with restless children did not have to miss the show!
In 1990 the building was purchased by the London Community Players and underwent extensive renovations. The old cinema was reconditioned, with the addition of a stage and an orchestra pit (the latter partially funded by London Musical Theatre).
In 1991 the City of London designated the front entrance and lobby of the Palace Theatre as a Heritage Property amid hopes that the new theatre with all its bustle and creativity might signal a rebirth of the "village" just east of Adelaide. The theatre reverts to its original name The Palace, and London Community Players reopens the theatre with a production of Allan Stratton's play "Bingo." The new theatre features 357 seats in 15 rows in fully air-conditioned building with accessibility for the handicapped.
The Community Players sets for itself the mandate to provide community theatre in London; to provide a training ground for drama and theatre personnel; to develop and promote the application of drama and theatre in education; and to assist other dramatic and cultural groups in the community and area and to co-operate actively with other theatres and with regional, provincial, and national theatre groups.
East Lions Park, Culver Park and Mildred Barrons Park, Bonaventure Park, a portion of Kiwanis Park, Admiral Park, Nelson Park, and Forest View Community Park.
Elementary Schools include East Carling P.S., Blessed Sacrament Catholic Elementary, and Académie de la Tamise French First Language.

The Visibility and Invisibility of Kurdish Women in Iran
Iraq, Not In My Name
"Let's Talk About Sex, Baby"
The Case for Kurdistan
Hawar Shawki
The West must support Kurdish independence to right the wrongs of the past and create stability in the Middle East
Historically speaking, post-colonial states suffer from the need to create a legitimate and accepted socio-political sphere for its populace in an effort to re-address the problems caused by imposed borders and a relatively new outline of state formation.Straddling the borders where Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria converge in the Middle East, the Kurds constitute the largest number of people in the world without their own independent sovereign state. Long a suppressed minority, the wars against Saddam Hussein in 1991 and 2003 resulted in the creation of a semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in a federal Republic of Iraq. The KRG has inspired the Kurds elsewhere to seek cultural, social, and even political autonomy, if not independence. Kurdish history has seen many nationalist movements, but a fully independent sovereign state has yet to come to fruition and be recognised by the United Nations and other nation-states.
The Kurds have occupied the same mountainous region for thousands of years. The fact that a Kurdish state does not exist is basically an accident of modern history, made almost t 100 years ago. An independent sovereign state would right the 1922 wrong in which a British and French diplomat synthetically carved out modern states from the defeated Ottoman Empire. In the Kurds' case, the lack of statehood appears not quite logical. Independence or autonomy for the Kurds, which had been on the agenda in 1921, somehow disappeared from the agenda in 1922, so there was to be no Kurdistan: it was a non-decision of 1922, that was, in effect, a decision.
In past few years, Kurdistan has rapidly become a symbol of hope in terms of economic prosperity, equality, security and safety. Many believe that an independent Kurdistan is now more feasible than ever. The United Kingdom and the United States should take hold of this historic occasion to support a new and strong ally in the Middle East. Recent events inside Iraq and Syria have strengthened the moral and strategic arguments for an independent, sovereign Kurdistan.
As Iraq heads toward an uncertain future, a newly independent Kurdistan would quickly become one of the best British and American allies in the Middle East. The country would be what Jordan is to the West, a strong official partner in the region, but also a popular partner; similar to what the U.S. has with the Israel. In fact, Kurdistan already has public support from Israel as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was of the only leaders so far call foe independence. The U.K. and U.S. would be wise to grasp this extraordinary prospect and provide its diplomatic muscle to the Kurdish cause. On the other hand, there are also moral arguments to be made from this situation. From cultural repression to the chemical weapons campaign in the 1980s, the Kurds have suffered for decades as unwanted outsiders at the hands of the Baghdad elite.
At present, the Kurds have a military known as the Peshmerga (those who face death) with a civilian commander-in-chief and modern state institutions. In the last 10 years, Kurdistan has attracted billions of dollars in foreign investment with Oil & Gas leading the economic boom, and is pretty much the only place in Iraq where Westerners and others from Iraq actually feel secure.
Its army has women fighting in the front line. Women are not seen as second class citizens and are part of the workforce both in public and private sector. The KRG has outlawed Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and forced and underage marriages. It is the closest you will get to a Western Europe state in the region in terms of socially liberally and progressive policies. Unfortunately, corruption, nepotism and freedom of the press have a long way to catch up in terms of Western standards, but relatively speaking, Kurdistan is progressing further than its neighbours in the region.
Given the circumstances in Iraq today, most sane and rational people know this 100 year experiment is over. The U.S. and U.K. failed miserably in the 2003 invasion Iraq. However, for reasons no one can explain, both governments' policy is to keep Iraq unified and no allow the Kurds to break away. This policy will bite them back hard in the future. The Kurds might have support the 2003 invasion and along with some Shias, but the reality is the Kurds never really wanted to be part of Iraq in the first place. In fact, if anything, Kurdistan became an example of what all of Iraq should have looked like after the initial invasion as the America's neo-conservatives prophesised. Instead, the Americans ignored the peaceful and prospers Kurdistan region and gave its full attention and tax payers' dollars to Baghdad. The U.S. gave Iraq $17 billion in military aid and the majority of that went into the hands of the Islamic State or ISIS.
President Barzani of the Kurdistan Region recently announced that parliament will put together a referendum. Without doubt, it will probably be 99% in favour of independence. It is in the best interest of the region and the West to support an independent Kurdistan to at least give the people of Kurdistan what they're owed and right the wrongs of history.

2007 was the second year for Cycle Tokyo!, and we are glad to report that we had continued biking inquiries and requests for guides all throughout the year.
We're on the top now on Google English, looking up "cycling" and "Tokyo" !
Though we haven't changed alot this year, we've kept the information fresh.
We added one detailed ride course with route maps, and we added a page explaining the general distances between areas within central Tokyo.
Email inquiries (cycle-tokyo"at"cycling.jp -change "at" with @) continue to come, and we welcome them. They range from requests for guided rides, bike shop information, advice on riding the Tokyo streets, to route information.
We setup the forum this year, so please don't hesitate to post any comments or questions you may have about biking in Tokyo.
We did have to decline more than few requests because our schedules did not meet, and we are very sorry about that. We plan to do something about this.
The second year for Cycle Tokyo! was a solid one, with lots of access to the site from all over the world, and constant contacts from many cyclists. Though we can never be too satisfied, we think we responded to a majority of people's requests, and answered their questions.
Thanks to our staffs for the cooperation and effort.
For 2008, we plan to keep solid, and at the same time consider expanding our resources a little bit to handle the many requests we get for guided tours. Let's see how it goes. We'll continue to be the one-stop reference for Tokyo cycling !
As always, feedback and comments about this site and our activity is welcome.
This page contains a single entry from the blog posted on December 25, 2007 10:26 PM.

Chapter 113 - The Signal Was Bad, What Did You Say?
Qin Feng began to doubt that this was the Lin Bei Bei he knew. He hadn't seen her for a week, but this change was too large.
He didn't know about Yu Wen Xiang's brutality toward Lin Bei Bei or her lonely sleepless nights when she thought about him. He didn't know about a lot of things regarding her, so that's why he felt that she seemed to have changed.
Qin Feng suddenly became angry. He scared Lin Bei Bei and she sat to the side and hung her head. He didn't know what she was thinking.
Qin Feng didn't rush to respond. He still had the quest of making Lin Bei Bei his girlfriend, and even if he disregarded this quest, he still cared about Lin Bei Bei.
Who wouldn't like this pure, strong, independent, and beautiful woman?
''Let's talk about this another day.'' Qin Feng said after a lot of hesitation.
Though only the Hao family elder was left as a general without an army, this was the most dangerous time of the war between the Qin and Hao families. After all, the Hao Elder had nothing to lose, so he would definitely do anything to take his revenge on the Qin Family.
Qin Feng didn't want to endanger the people close to him during this tenuous time. A large part of why he went to work at Royal Group was due to this. He was afraid that if he interacted with Lin Bei Bei, Zhao Ling Xian, or Yun Xiao too frequently, they would be in danger. After all, the Hao Elder would use them as leverage against him.
Pure and sparkling tears rolled down Lin Bei Bei's face. She had nothing more to say. She treated Qin Feng's words as a rejection, and her heart was struck with an unnamed ache.
Originally, she wanted to mention the Yu Wen Xiang situation. Now, she felt that there was no need for that. Qin Feng didn't even like her, so why would she cling onto him? She was not that kind of woman.
''Qin Feng, you head back. I need to sleep.'' Lin Bei Bei suddenly stood and didn't look at Qin Feng.
Half a month earlier, in the same room, Lin Bei Bei was rejected by Qin Feng once. At that time, her heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. Today, half a month later, she was rejected again, but the one that left was Qin Feng instead.
Though the time was short, it felt like a lifetime. But, the pain of heartbreak was as distinct as ever.
Qin Feng stood. He could tell that Lin Bei Bei was down, but for her safety he didn't explain himself. Once he completely resolved the Hao Family issue, he would come back personally and provide Lin Bei Bei a satisfactory explanation.
''Wait!'' Lin Bei Bei called out just as Qin Feng approached the door.
Lin Bei Bei presented him with a white shirt with a little black bowtie.
As a girl of her age, the love she pursued was pure and simple. It was not about brand name purses and especially not about race cars and mansions. That day on the sports field, he was as bright as the sun. She thought that if Qin Feng wore a white shirt with a black bowtie, he would be just as handsome and bright like the sun.
After leaving the Royal Clubhouse, Qin Feng rushed back to the Qin Manor on his 28'' bike. At this time, his cell phone rang.
Qin Feng pulled out his phone. It was an unfamiliar number.
''Haha, is this Young Master Qin?'' A familiar laughter passed through the phone. But, even after thinking for a while, Qin Feng couldn't think of who it was.
''Are you trying to figure out who I am? Haha, I'll tell you who I am. I'm proud of who I am and I stand by my actions, I'm smart and handsome, my ability and status defy natural order, my name is spread far and wide in the Capital, and I'm renowned in China as Young Master Wei of the Four Young Masters of the Capital, Wei Xiao Lei.'' Wei Xiao Lei said all this with his head high and chest puffed.
Ever since Wei Xiao Lei lost the car race and his limited edition Maserati GranTurismo to Qin Feng, he hated Qin Feng. After sending some people to do some research, he then discovered that Qin Feng had some background, and he was Acropolis' richest young master.
But what then? Wei Xiao Lei was also a rich young master. He was one of the four young masters of the Capital. As China's economic hub, the Capital was much larger than Acropolis.
Not only was he unafraid of Qin Feng's background, he even looked right for him. He wanted to teach Qin Feng a good lesson.
''Since Young Master Wei looks down on Acropolis and me as well, then don't call me. The global phone card I opened is really expensive.'' Qin Feng was too lazy to care about people like Wei Xiao Lei. He was about to hang up when he heard an urgent shout.
Qin Feng's brows immediately furrowed. For other issues, he could let them go, but women and close friends were his sore spots. Wei Xiao Lei touched his sore spot, and to Qin Feng, this was not a wise move.

POSTPONED: Pokey LaFarge w/ guest
June 17, 2021, 8:00 pm Tractor, 5213 Ballard Avenue NW, Seattle, WA
The man singing these songs isnt exactly the same man who wrote them, says Pokey LaFarge of ?Rock Bottom Rhapsody?, his eighth and latest studio release. This album is about the story of who I used to be.In early 2018, LaFarge searching for the sort of artistic freedom and inspiration he wasnt finding in the Midwest relocated from his longtime home base of St. Louis, Missouri, to Los Angeles, California. New songs came quickly to LaFarge in his new environment, but new temptations soon found him, as well. Though he declines to get into specifics, LaFarge admits that he experienced a significant fall from grace during the last months of 2018. Things sort of started to unravel in my mind, he recalls. I was letting evil spirits and demons rule me, and I came into certain agreements with them, and it took me down. I was giving too much power to the darkness, and I got in too deep, and I made some bad decisions. The reality of the situation is that I hit the closest to rock bottom that I ever had, and Ive definitely had some hardships in my life.While songs like Fuck Me Up, End of My Rope, Fallen Angel and Aint Comin Home were all written before LaFarges life went into a downward spiral, their lyrics definitely speak of a soul in crisis even though their author himself wasnt fully aware of it at the time. Its a case of me writing the story and writing the song, and then unfortunately living it, he reflects. The last three, four years have just been the hardest that I can remember. Id played the Ryman, I was selling theaters and clubs out all over the world, I got to travel the world, I was making a living, I got to buy a house; I could have whatever food and booze I wanted at any time, women but I was unhappiest Id ever been, because I dont think I really believed that I deserved my success, even though I worked so hard to get everything I had. And I was going towards the darkness. I was longing for death more than I was longing for life not necessarily literally longing for actual death, but destruction definitely ensued; self-sabotage and self-destruction definitely happened.

Main Street USA Windows
Herb Leibacher· May 24, 2012
And the credit to developing that magic goes to the employees, or cast members, of The Disney Company. One very special way that Disney works to honor its cast members is with giving them their own Main Street USA windows on the second floor of the Magic Kingdom.
Here are some of the signs you will see painted on the windows and the meaning behind them:
"If you can dream it – we can do it!"
This is a window located above one of the first stops on the street. It honors Roy O Disney, who was Walt's brother. In the early days of the construction of Disney World, shortly after Walt's unexpected death, there were questions about whether the project to build the Magic Kingdom should go on. Roy made sure that the job got done, even though he was well into his 70s – and he could have spent his time, energy, and sizable fortune on his grandkids or on leisure pursuits. When asked why Roy dedicated himself to the project, he once explained that he didn't want to have to answer to his brother when he next met him why the job didn't get done!
"Contractor Established 1895."
This window pays tribute to Walt's father Elias. Elias started many businesses, most of which failed. He was born in Canada to Irish-born immigrants. He married his wife, and Walt's mother, Flora in 1888 in Kismet, Florida (a city which no longer exists) – just a short distance from the land that Walt would eventually purchase to build Walt Disney World. While Elias wasn't necessarily considered a success in business, his entrepreneurial spirit had a definite impact on Walt and Roy.
A friend in deeds in a friend indeed." This play on words (normally 'a friend in need in a friend indeed") references the process by which Disney put together many shell companies in order to assemble the huge tract of land in Central Florida without driving up prices. The process started in 1959 when the Disney Company started to look for land for an east coast theme park. Walt flew over the land that would eventually become Disney World in 1963 and immediately like the site – he could see how major freeways intersected from high above. In 1964 the company preceded quietly acquiring land, but eventually locals started to notice all the real estate transactions and speculated on the land owner. After asking some pointed questions of Walt and observing his stunned reaction, reporter Emily Bavar ran a story in the October 25, 1965 Sentinel Star (which later become The Orlando Sentinel) with the following headline: We Say: "Mystery" Industry Is Disney.
"General Joe's Building Permits."
This window honors Major General Joe Potter who was responsible for constructing the infrastructure of the Magic Kingdom. General Potter graduated from United States Military Academy at West Point and MIT. He planned logistics for the Army during World War II and played a key role in the building of the Panama Canal. All this helped the General for the huge job of building Disney World, a job that actually included creating a new lake – Bay Lake. General Potter was seen by many as the primary communicator between Disney and the Central Florida community during the original construction process. General Potter died in 1988.
Reading the windows is like taking a trour through a museum of Disney World history.
This window honors chief decorator Emile Kuri, the Mexican-born American Oscar and Academy Award winning designer who put together settings for television, movies, and Disney theme parks. She won the Academy Awards for Best Art Direction for Disney's 1954 classic movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
"Plaza School Of Music."
This window honors Buddy Baker, Bob Jackman, and George Burns. The three created music as diverse as the theme song for the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Winnie the Pooh, and area music that sets the mood around the parks. Buddy specifically was the musical director for Epcot and composed music for both Future World pavilions, including the Universe of Energy, and World Showcase, including the American Adventure.
"Seven Summits Expeditions."
This window honors Frank Wells, the president of the Disney Company from 1984 to 1994 – a period of corporate renewal under his leadership and that of Michael Eisner that saw revenues leap from $1.5 billion to $8.5 billion a year. Wells loved to climb mountains. He set a goal to climb the tallest mountain on each of the earth's seven continents in a single year. He came close – he had to turn back from near the peak of Mount Everest. He died in a tragic helicopter accident. Disney also honored Wells by naming the a building at the Disney Studios after him.
"No Two Exactly Alike."
This window honors Ub Iwerks. Considered to be one of Walt's oldest friends, Ub went into business with Walt in Kansas City in 1919 and formed the unsuccessful The Iwerks-Disney Studio. After the company closed Walt moved to California, and the rest is history. Ub animated the very first Mickey Mouse short film called "Plane Crazy". He left Disney to make his own films but eventually returned to work with Walt. He went on to develop camera lenses that were used in the development of attractions at Walt Disney World including The Hall Of Presidents. Ube won two Academy Awards for his work.
An Ultimate Disney Honor – A Window On Main Street USA
The men and women who create the magic of Disney often work behind the scenes and are not seen by the general public. One of the highest honors Disney can give to a cast member is a window on Main Street USA. Some say it is the ultimate honor, along with being named a Disney Legend. The windows on Main Street publically recognize the people behind the magic in the theme park that is experienced by, on average, more than 15 million people a year.

Strike Art
Contemporary Art and the Post-Occupy Condition
by Yates McKee
304 pages / July 2017 / 9781784786816
February 2016 / 9781784781897
304 pages / February 2016 / 9781784781880
The collision of activism and contemporary art, from the Seattle protests to Occupy and beyond
What is the relation of art to the practice of radical politics today? Strike Art explores this question through the historical lens of Occupy, an event that had artists at its core. Precarious, indebted, and radicalized, artists redirected their creativity from servicing the artworld into an expanded field of organizing in order to construct of a new—if internally fraught—political imaginary set off against the common enemy of the 1%. In the process, they called the bluff of a contemporary art system torn between ideals of radical critique, on the one hand, and an increasing proximity to Wall Street on the other—oftentimes directly targeting major art institutions themselves as sites of action.
Tracking the work of groups including MTL, Not an Alternative, the Illuminator, the Rolling Jubilee, and G.U.L.F, Strike Art shows how Occupy ushered in a new era of artistically-oriented direct action that continues to ramify far beyond the initial act of occupation itself into ongoing struggles surrounding labor, debt, and climate justice, concluding with a consideration of the overlaps between such work and the aesthetic practices of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Art after Occupy, McKee suggests, contains great potentials of imagination and action for a renewed left project that are still only beginning to ripen, at once shaking up and taking flight from the art system as we know it.
"This irrepressibly vibrant page-turner is the first art historical reading of Occupy Wall Street, and a canny account of politically engaged art before, during and after the events of 2011. I'm tempted to call it the sequel to Artificial Hells, but this would do a disservice to its enthusiastic approach to activism. No left melancholia here—just a powerful commitment to the liberatory horizon of both progressive art and politics."
– Claire Bishop, author of Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship
"A lucid and sure-footed guide to today's renaissance of art radicalism. A participant as well as a critic, McKee knows exactly what he is talking about, and the result is red hot."
– Andrew Ross, author of Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal
"McKee's elegant and illuminating book investigates the intersection of activism and contemporary art in a way that transforms our understanding of both."
– Michael Hardt, coauthor of Empire
"Why in this era of neoliberalism and its diktat—Commodify Everything!—has art increasingly become a critique of commodification? Is this anomaly an expression of the peak of cynicism—with artists making money by criticizing it—or is this the prefiguration of a new connection between art and anti-capitalist revolution? If these questions concern you, then Yates Mckee's Strike Art is a book you need to read."
– George Caffentzis, author of In Letters of Blood and Fire
"In this lively and engaging book, Yates McKee turns the old concept of the Art Strike on its head. Strike Art asks its readers to move outside the art system and get ready for the artist as organizer. A must-read for activists, visual or otherwise, everywhere."
– Nicholas Mirzoeff, author of How to See the World
"In this inspirational and engaging analysis, McKee positions art as more than mere protest graphics, rebellious puppetry, or subversive chanting: the energies of social, economic, and political transformation go right to the heart of Occupy's world-changing creativity. Art in the post-Occupy condition—one that addresses climate justice activism as much as Black Lives Matter, Strike Debt as much as post-capitalist commoning practices—surpasses the containment of art institutions, daring to reinvent the very terms of life today."
– T.J. Demos, author of The Migrant Image: The Art and Politics of Documentary During Global Crisis
"A profound and insightful book that asks us, using descriptions, history and theory, if there can ever be art without movement, or movement without art."
– Marina Sitrin and Dario Azzellini, authors of They Can't Represent Us!: Reinventing Democracy from Greece to Occupy
"Strike Art is, above all, a book of cultural documentation, one that relives the events and "ethical spectacle" of a radical political moment that seems to be giving way, in the usual manner, to a pursuit of electoral success rather than wholesale reform. The art that McKee discusses is often transient by design, produced by collectives or anonymous bodies, and distributed freely or slyly entered into the circulation systems of the culture at large."
– Harper's
"McKee is at his best in creatively reading the symbols of Occupy Wall Street."
– National
"Strike Art is written by someone who was directly involved in the day-to-day organizing work of [Occupy Wall Street], and who continues to participate in the movement's afterlife. McKee's book is therefore replete with granular information about the ambitious, and sometimes ambiguous, revolt of the 99%, details that other commentators can only address in a second-hand manner. In this sense he aligns his writing with Walter Benjamin's well-known directive that authors become producers with a 'tendentious' tilt towards working class struggles."
– E-flux
"Because he is both committed to what he recounts but also nuanced in his criticisms, McKee's book is one of the most coherent presentations of the new kinds of activist art that we have seen emerge since the development of social media and by and large after the emergence of the alterglobalization Left in the late 1990s."

Pros: Funny at times, serious at others with characters to carry us through both
Cons: A bit over the top at times, especially if Eric is involved
Funny, serious
Meld well this season. Still, at
Times over the top
"When Did I Ever Have a Bad Idea?"
Welcome to college. That's right, after five years of watching the gang travel from sixth grade to twelfth grade (don't ask), the main characters on Boy Meets World are prepared to go to college in season 6. This was the first full season I watched, and I remembered it being a bit over the top. What surprised me was just how serious the show was at the same time.
If you are new to the show, it follows the misadventures and misunderstandings of new college freshman Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and his friends and family. That includes his longtime girlfriend Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel), his best friend Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong), and Shawn's girlfriend and Topanga's friend Angela Moore (Tina McGee). There's also Cory's brother Eric (Will Friedle), who is rooming with Shawn's long lost half-brother Jack (Matthew Lawrence). We also get next-door neighbor and teacher from sixth grade on up Mr. Feeny (William Daniels). Rounding out the cast are Cory's parents Alan and Amy (William Russ and Betsy Randle) and younger sister Morgan (Lindsay Ridgeway).
Of course, before we can get to college, we must deal with the season five cliffhanger. The show picks up right where it left off as Topang has just proposed to Cory at their high school graduation. The reactions to that are decidedly mixed, and the end result almost leaves us with a wedding. Meanwhile, Mr. Feeny has retired and moved to Wyoming only to find himself drawn home, where he winds up teaching at the college where all the students are now attending. He's also crushing hard on the school's dean (William Daniels' real life wife Bonnie Bartlett in a recurring guest star role).
While Cory and Topanga are now engaged, they move into the dorms down the hall from each other. Naturally, this means that Cory is rooming with Shawn and Topanga is rooming with Angela. Things get a little awkward early on when Shawn and Angela break up, but the gang soon learns how to still hang out as friends. Meanwhile, Eric and Jack get a beautiful new roommate, Rachel (Maitland Ward), who sends the best friends into competition mode trying to win their new roommate as a girlfriend.
Over the course of the season, Cory almost ruins his college career before it even begins, the gang learns that honesty can have its drawbacks, Eric turns Rachel into a star a la The Truman Show (this was 1998 and 1999 after all), a new professor (played by Ben's brother Fred Savage) crosses the line with Topanga (in a PG rates way that fits the show), a new Matthews is born, and someone gets married.
As I said earlier, I remembered this season as being a bit over the top, and there is definitely plenty of that here. Most of it comes from Eric, who has descended to a level of goofy that would only work on a sitcom. Granted, he was never smart, but he seems to get dumber with each season. Not that Cory is far behind. He can overreact with the best of them, too, but he is still a great main character. The constant sub-plots involving Rachel, Eric, and Jack and the guys trying to impress their new roommate are a bit repetitive as well.
About half way through this season, the show takes a turn toward the serious and hits us with one episode after another. It all starts when Shawn and Jack's father comes to visit and has a heart attack, which sends Shawn into a tailspin. Then, when Amy Matthews goes into labor early, the baby boy is extremely sick and has to stay in infant ICU. In a storyline that actually shows some maturity in Eric, he become a big brother for a boy in an orphanage and then must make a decision when a family on the other side of the country wants to adopt him. It's one thing after another, and I found myself tearing up as I watched many of these episodes.
Yes, the show still has laughs, but these storylines definitely make things more serious. But here's the thing, I always wanted to go beyond the two episodes I was planning to watch every night. It was hard to stop because I had to see what would happen next with the characters. And I'd seen these episodes when they first aired, so I had very, very fuzzy memories of some of these storylines, too. Somehow, the more serious tone works.
Actually, I think it works because we like the characters. When these episodes first aired, I had only started watching in season 5. I still felt the pull to know what was happening to them. Now that I've watched the series from the beginning, I'm finding that my connection to the characters is even stronger, so I feel the pull more.
Obviously, that means the acting is sharp. The cast knows their characters, and they hit these scenes dead on. Whether we are supposed to be laughing or feeling, it is truly great.
I've got to mention the writers, too, who find that perfect balance between laughs and serious moments while fully bringing the viewers along for the ride.
Like the last few seasons, this is a bare bones season set. We get all 22 episodes on three discs in their native full frame and stereo sound. Nothing in the way of extras is offered.
If you are new to the show, this might be a different season to hook you on Cory and the rest. But if you have been enjoying Boy Meets World, you'll definitely want to continue their adventures in season 6.

Bombay HC refuses to interfere in order of Assistant Labour Commissioner
The Bombay High Court recently refused to interfere with the order of the Assistant Labour Commissioner which rejected the application filed by the Lal Zenda Coal Mines Mazdoor Union seeking reference of the industrial dispute to an Industrial Tribunal.
The petitioner No.1 (Brij Bihari Singh) had once knocked at the doors of the High Court by filing a petition seeking a direction to the respondents to correct his father's name from Ram Bacchan to Bacchan and also to correct his date of birth from 28/11/1954 to 01/08/1963 in-service record.
The Petition was dismissed by the High Court on 18/06/2014. It was observed that the High Court was not in a position to adjudicate upon the issue regarding the correct date of birth of the petitioner and the correct name of his father.
On behalf of petitioner No.1 (Brij Bihari Singh), on July 2, 2018 secretary of Lal Zenda Coal Mines Mazdoor Union (petitioner No.2), for the first time, filed an application before the Assistant Labour Commissioner seeking reference of the industrial dispute to an Industrial Tribunal. This application, termed as representation/complaint dated 2nd July 2018, by the impugned order passed by the Assistant Labour Commissioner, Chandrapur was rejected.
Assistant Labour Commissioner found that the Union was not authorized to raise the issue, with the petitioner No.1 having retired from service on November 30, 2014 was no more a workman and that the employer/employee relationship had ceased to exist and thus the representation/application for reference under section 10(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, was rejected.
Assistant Labour Commissioner also found that there was great delay in filing the application which dissuaded him from entertaining the application.
In the High Court, Counsel for the petitioners submitted that the reasons stated in the order are not tenable at law as there is no bar in law for raising an industrial dispute and all that is required is that industrial dispute must exist. He also submitted that even after retirement, the employee/employer relationship continues to exist for the limited purpose of determination of the actual date of superannuation of an employee. There is no limitation prescribed for filing of an application under section 10(1) of the Industrial Labour Act and therefore it cannot be said that the application was moved belatedly, Counsel for the petitioners added.
The Division Bench of Justice Sunil B. Shukre and Justice Anil L. Pansare cited that Judgment in Sharad Kumar Vs, Govt. Of NCT of Delhi and ors (supra), in which the Supreme Court has held that while considering such application, the appropriate government is conferred with limited jurisdiction, and it is not the job of the appropriate government to examine the dispute on merits and all that it has to consider is as to whether or not there exists any industrial dispute and if it finds that the dispute does exist, there is no option for the appropriate government other than referring it to the appropriate authority as contemplated under Section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act.

Following the above law, the Court found that the Assistant Labour Commissioner ought to have made an effort to ascertain as to whether or not any industrial dispute existed instead of ascertaining as to who had raised the dispute and then recording a finding that the Union had no authority to raise the dispute. "So, on this count the learned Assistant Labour Commissioner has gone wrong."
The Division Bench further cited the case of Philips Employees Union, Mumbai Vs. P. T. Jagtap and ors.(supra), where the Coordinate Bench of the High Court has found on facts of the case that even after the retirement, the employer/employee relationship continues to exist for the limited purpose of determining the enforceability of the terms of the VRS application, which was accepted by the employer.
Here, what is at dispute is an issue regarding the correct date of birth and correct name of the father of the petitioner No.1 and this issue having a bearing upon the date of superannuation of the petitioner No.1 would be an issue, which in our considered opinion, would be covered by the concept of obtaining of employee/employer relationship. If the contentions of the petitioner No.1 in this regard are accepted by the Court, it would have the effect of extending the date of superannuation of the petitioner No.1 and thus extending the tenure of the employer/ employee relationship. Learned Assistant Labour Commissioner has, therefore, erred in holding that no employer-employee relationship existed.

"The matter, however, does not end here. There is an important issue of inordinate delay involved in this case, and on this count, we are of the considered opinion that no fault could be found in the order of the Asstt. Labour Commissioner. It is not in dispute that the petitioner No.1 has stood retired on attaining age of superannuation on 30.11.2014 and it was after almost about more than three and half years i.e. on 02.07.2018 that for the first time, an Industrial dispute was sought to be raised by moving an application under Section 10(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act."
If the delay of about more than three and half years which has occurred here is overlooked and dispute is revived , the Bench opined that it would have the effect of stirring up industrial unrest rather than maintaining the industrial peace which is now prevailing and which has come about by settlement of dust due to long passage of time.
"In view of above, we find that here is a case where, such industrial dispute as requires its resolution in the interest of maintenance of industrial peace has ceased to exist now by virtue of inordinate delay occurred in moving of an application under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act by the Petitioner No.1. Therefore, on this sole ground we find that no interference with the impugned order can be made,"
– the order reads.

My friends down in Mexico cannot believe what they are watching. In other words, they've always known that Mexico is complicit in sending its own north of the border, i.e. U.S.$ 33 billion in remittances is all you need to know about this.
Or as a friend said: "Dolares que ayudan mucho"-- dollars that help a lot!
My point is that every levelheaded Mexican has always known that their country has grown dependent on those "dolares".
to their Aztec heritage of cruelty, despotism and failure.
immigrants is perfectly normal behavior for this trash.

A Host Who's Seen it All
By Angela Barbuti
December 2, 2014 6:11 pm ET
The owner of Gabriel's welcomes us into his dining room
Gabriel's opened on the Upper West Side in 1991, when the neighborhood was a much different place.
As a New York City restaurant owner for over two decades, Gabriel Aiello has seen everything from an unruly customer being taken away in handcuffs to a chef hurling a spoon at a waiter.
He has also seen everyone. His namesake restaurant, Gabriel's, on West 60th between Broadway and Columbus, welcomes guests from Oprah to Mark Cuban to Martin Scorsese. Mitt Romney decided to run for President over lunch at Gabriel's, and last year, Mayor Bloomberg visited with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
The 125-seat Italian eatery has been a neighborhood mainstay since it opened in December of 1991. It's Aiello's pleasant personality and care for his customers that keep everyone coming back. Over a plate of fusilli with chicken in a vodka tomato sauce, he dished on star-studded events in the restaurant's private party room, a typical work day, and his favorite lamb chops.
What is your background in the industry?
My first restaurant job was as a banquet waiter at Fiesta in Lodi, New Jersey. They really taught you how to be a good waiter and stressed service even though it was a cheesy place, a wedding facility. They kept your tips and you just got paid by the hour. I worked there for about five months and then got a job at Café Look See in Fort Lee, New Jersey as a waiter. And three days later, the owner asked me to be the maître d' and manager, and I had never done that before. I had gone to school for restaurant management, so I took it very seriously. I studied the menu and figured out how to buy. After three or four years of that, I left and opened up a 230-seat Mexican restaurant called Arriba in Union City, New Jersey. A year from the day I opened, I had to give the keys back to the landlord because it tanked. I had on my business card, "Only tell your best friends." No one told anybody. [Laughs]
So you didn't give up after that?
I did give up. I left and lived in Spain for a few months. When I came back to the United States, I ran into a friend of mine, Leo, who was from Italy and worked at Look See. He was opening up an Italian restaurant in Tribeca called Arqua, and asked me to run it. It became an instant success. Literally two weeks after it opened, it was booming. I worked there for about four years as a maître d' and manager. I worked six double shifts, and only had Sundays off. He wouldn't give me another day off. I quit and spent about two years looking for locations, found this one broker, and this was the first thing he showed me.
Was Gabriel's an instant success?
The country was in a bit of a recession back then in '91. During the first two weeks we were open, we were getting our sea legs and then Bryan Miller came in from the New York Times. We were making our own smoked cheeses and he did a Diner's Journal saying, "The goat cheese had more smoke than a coal locomotive." That was kind of a knife to the heart. Then we had a good review in the New York Observer and New York magazine. Gourmet magazine did a nice piece on us in early 1992. And then the New York Times came back and Bryan Miller loved it. He gave us a glowing two-star review and we were off to the races.
What's a typical day like for you?
Usually I get here between eight and nine a.m. Before I unlock the door, I look on the sidewalk because there are some homeless issues here. I come in the door and grind the coffee. I also check the restrooms just to make sure everything's there. Then I usually do my Board of Health inspection. I check all the refrigerators' temperatures. I look behind doors. I make sure everyone has on hats and gloves. Even though we have an A and we've had one, you never know, they could walk in at any point, and you want to be ready. Then I usually get hit with someone not showing up or something not working. Then the rest of my day is dealing with private parties and reservations. I do all the parties here. We have a side room that can hold up to 36 people and have had over 6,000 events here. Everything from Oprah's philanthropy board meeting to my son's fifth birthday party.
What are your favorite dishes on the menu?
I love the burrata with basil oil and Vidalia onion jam with roasted peppers or tomatoes, depending on the season. The spicy mussel soup is fantastic here. The arugula salad with shavings of parmesan cheese is also one of my favorites. All of the pasta we make here, so they're all fantastic. My favorites right now would probably be the fettuccini with homemade veal sauce with tomato and peppers and the tagliatelle Bolognese. The lasagna changes on a daily basis. Our tuna is one of my favorites and the lamb chops marinated in grape seed oil and mint, wood-grilled and topped with an organic honey truffle oil with spicy scalloped potatoes and broccolini. And we make our own ice cream and sorbet.
I read that story about how a customer didn't want to pay and you had to lock him inside and call the police.
Well we had to get the police here. It was a $3300.00 check. We have a food and beverage minimum for the room and he thought it was all you could eat and drink for that much. So they went over the minimum by $1000.00 because they were eating and drinking and taking stuff home. It wasn't so much that he didn't want to pay, but his daughter had told him that was the policy. He didn't want to wait for the police so we locked him in and the police came and made him pay.
You have many celebrities eating here. Why do you think they choose your restaurant?
I think it's because this is owner operated and they know, for the most part, that no one is going to bother them. The location's also pretty convenient. Soon after we opened, they threw the 50th birthday for Martin Scorsese here and I think that was really the start of that industry knowing us and liking us. We get a big kick out of Sting or Oprah. Oprah is very nice. We get all the news guys too. Everyone's nice.
How have you seen the neighborhood change?
What a growth spurt. I mean, when I opened here, it was the Wild West. It was us and Café Luxembourg. It was a dark street, the Coliseum, where the Time Warner Center is now, was shut down. The Coliseum didn't really light up until 2004, so we were here 13 years before that happened. The only time they'd light it up would be on St. Patty's Day for the Shamrock Society. They'd invite all the cops for corned beef and cabbage and beer. And then they would all come in here. Otherwise, we had zero benefit from the Coliseum.
Tell us a funny restaurant story.
We had a situation where we had a very elegant woman at the bar asking for items that we offer at the bar to be wrapped to go. She was eating at the bar, but she wanted more olives and more butter, then asked for bread to be wrapped. She walked out and didn't pay, so my maître d' brought her back in, and we called the police. The police came and she said she paid and we proved that she didn't. And the police officer said, "Please. And you need to leave a tip as well." And then she stood on the ledge of the bar and with a fork, started banging the overhead glass lights and yelling to a full restaurant, "The salmon sucks. The salmon sucks." And she didn't even have salmon. Everyone started applauding; it was very uncomfortable. And then the police put handcuffs on her and took her away.

Q: Proof of Comparability Theorem for well-ordered sets using transfinite recursion I am reading through Halmos's "Naive Set Theory". In Section 18, Halmos uses transfite recursion to prove the Comparability Thereom for well-ordered sets:

The assertion is that if $\langle X, \leqslant_X \rangle$ and $\langle Y, \leqslant_Y \rangle$ are well ordered sets, then either $X$ and $Y$ are similar, or one of them is similar to an initial segment of the other.

We assume that $X$ and $Y$ are non-empty well ordered sets such that neither is similar to an initial segment of the other; we proceed to prove that under these circumstances $X$ must be similar to $Y$. Suppose that $a \in X$ and that $t$ is a sequence of type $a$ in $Y$; in other words $t$ is a function from $s(a)$ into $Y$. Let $f(t)$ be the least of the proper upper bounds of the range of $t$ in $Y$, if there are any; in the contrary case, let $f(t)$ be the least element of $Y$. In the terminology of the transfinite recursion theorem, the function $f$ thereby determined is a sequence function of type $X$ in $Y$. Let $U$ be the function that the transfinite recursion theorem associates with this situation. An easy argument (by transfinite induction) shows that, for each $a \in X$, the function $U$ maps the initial segment determined by $a$ in $X$ one-to-one onto the initial segment determined by $U(a)$ in $Y$. This implies $U$ is a similarity, and the proof is complete.

I think I understand the proof up until this step:

An easy argument (by transfinite induction) shows that, for each $a
  \in X$, the function $U$ maps the initial segment determined by $a$ in $X$ one-to-
one onto the initial segment determined by $U(a)$ in $Y$.
This implies $U$ is a similarity, and the proof is complete.

I can't seem to get my head around this "easy transfinite induction". I think I get what I am meant to do. Let $S$ be the set such that $a \in S$ if and only if there exists a bijection between $s(a)$ and $s(U(a))$. We need to prove that if $s(b) \subseteq S$, then $b \in S$. This would imply that $S = X$ by the transfinite induction principle. I assume I need to construct a bijection from $s(b)$ to $s(U(b))$ using the bijections for each $a < b$, but I am unsure of how to proceed with this.
Note that Halmos has not introduced the concept of ordinal numbers at this point in the book, only well-ordered sets. As a result, I'd appreciate any help which avoids the use of "ordinal terminology". There has been a question on the site that has asked about this before but I couldn't really make sense of the answers and comments.
EDIT: At the suggestion of the comments I decided to work through the following example:
$$
X = a > b > c > d \\
Y = e > f > g > h
$$
Then starting at $a$ we have
$$
U(a) = e \\
U(b) = f \\
U(c) = g \\
U(d) = h \\
$$
I kind of understand how the proof works in these kind of instances as each element has an immediate predecessor. In this case, we can use the following argument. Any $x \in X$ has an immediate predecessor, say $x^{\prime}$ (apart from base case that is easy). So we must have $s(x) - \{x^{\prime}\} = s(x^{\prime})$. We construct an isomorphism by taking the isomorphism we know exists from $s(x^{\prime})$ to $s(U(x^{\prime}))$ and simply add the pair $(x^{\prime}, U(x^{\prime}))$.
However, I don't really understand what to do when an element of $X$ does not have an immediate predecessor. For example consider the set of positive integers $X$, where every odd is greater than every even. Then consider the set $Y$ of positive integers where every even is greater than every odd. In both sets order the odds with respect to each other as normal, and the evens with respect to each other as normal. So we have
$$
X = 2 < 4 < 6 < \dots < 1000< 1002 < \dots < 1 < 3 < \dots \\
Y = 1 < 3 < 5 < \dots < 1001 < 1003 < \dots < 2 < 4 < \dots
$$
How does transfinite recursion deal with the case where $b = 1$ as $1$ has no immediate predecessor?
EDIT:
I think I understand the proof now. Either:
i) $b$ has an immediate predecessor $c$ in $s(b)$. In which case, all $a \in s(b) - \{c\}$ are mapped one-to-one into $U|_{s(c)}$ and thus $U|_{s(b)}$. By definition of $U$, $U(c) < U(b)$ and $U(c) > U(a)$ for all $a \in  s(b) - \{c\}$, thus $U(c) \in s(U(b)$ and $U(c) \neq U(a)$ for all $a \in s(c)$. Hence $U|_{s(b)}$ is an injection into $s(U(b))$. Assume for the sake of contradiction that $U|_{s(b)}$ is not onto. Then there exists some $y$ such that $U(c) < y < U(b)$. However, then $U(b)$ would not be the least upper bound of $U|_{s(b)}$, thus we have a contradiction and no such $y$ can exist. So $U|_{s(b)}$ must map onto $s(U(b))$. Hence $U|_{s(b)}$ is a surjection and an injection and thus a bijection onto $s(U(b))$ as desired.
ii) $b$ has no immediate predecessor in $s(b)$. Then for every $a \in s(b)$ there exists another $c \in s(b)$ such that $a \in s(c)$. Observe that we can write $U|_{s(b)}$ as $\bigcup_{a \in s(b)}U|_{s(a)}$, and hence $U|_{s(b)}$ is an injection. Next we prove that $s(U(b))$ is in the range of $U|_{s(b)}$. For the sake of contradiction assume there is $y \in s(U(b))$ such that $y$ is not in the range of $U|_{s(b)}$. Then there are three cases that can occur:

*

*$y$ is the least element in $s(U(b))$. Let $x$ be the least element in $X$. By definition of $U$ we must have $U(x) = y$. Hence $y$ is in the range of $U|_{s(b)}$ for all $b \neq x$. Since $U|_{s(x)} = \{\}$, this implies case (1) cant occur.

*There are elements $a$ and $c$ in the range of $U|_{s(b)}$ such that $a < y < c$. However this would imply $y$ is not in the range of $U|_{s(c)}$, a contradiction. Thus case (2) can't occur.

*$a < y$ for  all $a \in s(U(b))$. In this case $U(b)$ is not the least upper bound of $U|_{s(b)}$, a contradiction by the definition of $U$. Thus case (3) can't occur.
So in all cases, we have a contradiction and thus $s(U(b))$ must lie in the range of $U|_{s(b)}$. Lastly we observe that the range of $U|_{s(b)}$ lies in $s(U(b))$. If it didn't then $U(b)$ would not be an upper bound for $U|_{s(b)}$. Thus we conclude that $U|_{s(b)}$ is a surjection onto $s(U(b))$. Thus as $U|_{(s(b)}$ is surjective and injective, it is bijection onto $s(U(b))$ as desired.
Thus for both cases $(i)$ and $(ii)$ the result holds and we are done.
EDIT: This is answer to a question in the comments below posed by jsmith:

How does the definition of U imply that U(c) < U(b)

By definition $U(a) = f(U^{a})$ so either:
$\text{range}(U^{a}) < U(a)$ or $f(U^{a})$ is the least element of $Y$. In the first case, the result follows trivially. We can show that the second case causes a contradiction. More specifically, if the second case occurs then the range of $U^{a}$ has no upper bound and must contain a maximal element of $Y$. As a result, $Y$ must be similar to an initial segment of $X$, which we assumed was not the case. I will leave the details for you to work out but I hope that answers your question!

A: Let $(X_1,\le_1), (X_2,\le_2)$ be any well-orderings. If they are similar then call an order-isomorphism $f:X_1\to X_2$ a similarity.
(1).Lemma. The only similarity  from a well-ordering from itself to itself is the identity function.
(2).Lemma. There is at most one similarity  $f:X_1\to X_2$.
(3). Lemma. No well-ordering is  similar to an initial segment of itself.
For $i\in\{1,2\}$ and $a\in X_i$ let pred$_i(a)=\{b: b<_i a\}.$ ("Pred" for "predecessors").
For $x\in X_1$ let $x\in X_1^*$ iff pred$_1(x)$ is similar to an initial segment of $X_2.$ For $x\in X_2$ let $x\in X_2^*$ iff pred$_2(x)$ is similar to an initial segment of $X_1$. The sets $X_1^*,X_2^*$ exist by the Axiom Schema of Comprehension.
If y$<_2y'$ then pred$_2(y)$ is an initial segment of pred$_2(y')$ so by (3), no pred$_1(x)$ can be similar to both pred$_2(y)$ and pred$_2(y').$ So for each $x\in X_1^*$ there is a unique $U(x)\in X_2$ such that pred$_1(x)$ is similar to pred$_2(U(x))$. And by (2), if $x\in X_1^*$ there is a unique similarity $f_x:$pred$_1(x)\to $ pred$_2(U(x)).$
Analogously, if $y\in X_2^*$ then there is a unique $V(y)\in X_1$ such that pred$_2(y)$ is similar to pred$_1(V(y)),$ and there is a unique similarity $g_y:\text{pred}_2(y)\to \text{ pred}_1(V(y)).$
The Axiom Schema of Replacement implies existence of the functions $U=\{(x,U(x)):x\in X_1^*\}$ and $V=\{(y,V(y)):y\in X_2^*\}.$
We can show by elementary considerations, without Recursion, that exactly one of the following holds:
(i)... $X_1^*=X_1$  and $X_2^*=X_2$ and $U:X_1\to X_2$ is a similarity.
(ii)...$X_1^*$ is an initial segment of $X_1$ and $X_2^*=X_2$ and $V:X_2\to X_1^*$ is a similarity.
(iii). $X_2^*$ is an initial segment of $X_2$ and $X_1^*=X_1$ and $U:X_1\to X_2^*$ is a similarity.
