Q and A with Actor Kristin Lehman: Dealing with a Dairy-Free Diet

Bonnie Siegler - August 20, 2013
Actress Denise Richards looks as radiant today at age 42 as she did when she played beautiful Christmas Jones in the 1999 James Bond film, The World Is Not Enough. Since then, her personal life has made more headlines than her professional one—marriage and divorce to actor Charlie Sheen, raising their two daughters (Sam and Lola), adopting a third (Eloise) and now being supportive of Sheen's twin sons from his marriage to actress Brooke Mueller. Sheen's well-publicized antics and Richards generously stepping in on behalf of his young children have kept her in the tabloids.
Eva LaRue Q&A: The Secrets to Her Allergy-Sensitive Diet
Eva LaRue's eight-year run playing crime scene investigator Natalia Boa Vista on CSI: Miami recently ended when the TV show was cancelled. Now the former All My Children soap star is spending more time with her daughter, Kaya, and her husband of three years, Joe Cappuccio. Living Without spoke with the actress several years ago about her soy sensitivity, discovered after her daughter, then 7 years old, developed severe skin rashes from eating soy. Here, LaRue brings us up to date on her special dietary needs.

The cardigan by VERO MODA shows itself in a beautiful, purist way. The fashionable length encounters an open cut with tie belt and small stand-up collar. The soft knit quality is comfortable and trendy at the same time. Whether as a jacket in fall or cardigan in winter - this model is a must-have of the season.


Start with GHC head and LLVM 3.4 in your `$PATH`.
LLVM 3.1 also works (and probably other versions).
Leave the GHC head build in-place, soft link `$GHC/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2` to `$GHC/inplace/bin/ghc` and then put the whole `$GHC/inplace/bin` directory in your `$PATH`. This way you also get `ghc-pkg` and other tools in your `$PATH`.
Update your cabal database so you don't inadvertently install old library versions.
Clone the DDC head repo.
Install external dependencies for DDC.
The DDC `make show-pkgs` target lists what external Hackage packages DDC needs.
We need to use `--enable-shared` to build shared libraries that will work with the Repa plugin.
Now build the DDC packages and register them with Cabal.
Note that just using `make` here will build DDC locally, but we won't get Cabal packages registered with the GHC development build. We need these when building the Repa plugin.
Clone the Repa head repo.
Doing this should also install the `QuickCheck` and `bmp` packages as dependencies. After this step you should have the following cabal libraries installed, on top of the ones that come with the GHC development build.
The ':dump' flag tells the plugin to drop the intermediate code at several points along the compilation pipeline. You should get a stack of `dump.*` files in the current directory.
Run the version using flow fusion.
Run the version using stream fusion.
Although the repa-plugin is invoked via GHC, the actual flow fusion transforms are done on the DDC Core language. There are tests for the low-level transforms in the DDC repo.
Go back to the root of the DDC build.
Build DDC locally and run all the regression tests.
We can also run individual tests manually.

Download Mozilla Firefox for Android and PC for free
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source browser that was launched in the year 2004. It is unpretentious and popular, with an impressive front-end user interface and built-in features. It is a popular developer browser and has an active community of members. Firefox is available for download on a range of devices, including desktop, mobile, tablets, and even Amazon Firestick TV.
What are the main features of Mozilla Firefox?
• Features seamless tabbed browsing, spell checking, growing search, live bookmarks, download manager, private browsing, and geolocation. Tabbed browsing makes it normal and urgent to work on contrasting windows of the same age. The built-in spell check tool is amazing for writing and editing content. Sequential research provides suggestions and returns questions related to our research.
• Bookmark helps us arrange your favorite websites in a bigger way, and Firefox does it right. Firefox offers the advantage of Smart Bookmarks, which allows users to visit the websites that are used most frequently on the toolbar. The geographical location of the search allows the results to appear in a variation on your geographic location, which supports the increase of related search initiatives. The file storage manager controls and arranges your downloads via the browser and displays them. Despite the included add-ons, add-ons created by 3-party developers can also be added to Firefox.
• Firefox includes a Smart Location Bar, which not only checks the website by URL but also searches for page bookmarks. Tracks the relevant keyword, not the website URL.
What is compatible with Mozilla Firefox?
Starting with Windows, Firefox is now compatible with almost any device and operating system. Available across Windows, iOS, and Linus, to run on desktop hardware, laptop computers, portable portable devices, tablets, and up to that point on Amazon Firestick and other clever TVs. Firefox add-ons that use HTML or JavaScript APIs can be installed in the browser. Firefox works on all basic web standards, HTML, XML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, MathML, SVG, XSLT and XPath. However, Firefox does not support ActiveX, due to Outlook vulnerabilities. It's still possible to use it with third-party add-ons, but it doesn't work with all versions of Firefox.
What are the features of Mozilla Firefox browser?
Firefox allows high-speed access to the World Wide Web, serious front-end proximity and customizable settings. Back in 2004, when Firefox was introduced to the world, most windows users only exposed to Explorer, which was slow and cumbersome. Firefox changed the way we browse the net and it's still one of the most popular browsers for Windows users. Also, Firefox includes built-in and pre-installed reassurance features that keep members from ambitious breaches. Completes the ban on spyware and pop-ups, and there is protection in the malware and virus forum. Firefox uses "incognito browsing" as a convenience protocol modified by Google. Firefox takes serious care of securing the feature, and its sleep protocols and add-ons give the ultimate guard against preference violations.
Modest front side, not noticeably complicated, allows easy navigation. The choice of add-ons and plugins makes for a fun browsing experience. Passwords and browser index synchronization add-ons maintain easy browsing. Simplified forward preserves the speed and ease of rendering of the browser file which makes the launch of the browser instant.
What are the downsides of Modzilla Firefox?
While Firefox works best on a Windows PC, there are a lot of compatibility issues with other operating systems and devices. Not all websites are compatible with Firefox, and there are a limited number of writing tools and CMS for websites that face compatibility issues as well. On the mobile phone, too, Firefox is not the biggest choice for users, as it is not pre-loaded or by default on most mobile phones.
Firefox users also encounter problems performing various functions. As an example of this, memorizing the file and switching to brown in different tabs from time to time cause a browser to hang. File care also does not resume automatically and playback is required manually. Firefox also consumes very heavy site and memory, which makes the overall performance of the operating system slower time after time.
What are the alternatives to Mozilla Firefox?
Soft Choices for Firefox are Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Thunderbird, or good deep Internet Explorer. Google Chrome counts as a preferred browser on Firefox due to the fact that most of the content consumption has moved from the desktop to the portable mobile device, and on Android portable phones, the Google Chrome browser is preinstalled. Also, Chrome allows syncing across devices and accounts and is fully integrated with Google apps. Firefox gets stuck here because mobile users prefer to use the preset Chrome or Safari.
Unlike Google Chrome, which is fully integrated with the Google search engine, Firefox is not a search engine except that it is purely a browser, and Google is the default browser. Previously, the default engine was Yahoo, but this moment it has switched to Google.
The popularity of Google Chrome maintains that most websites are browser-friendly and designed to work best on Chrome, and a restricted number of websites are not compatible with Firefox. Aside from the fact that Firefox includes a better user front than Safari, the default designs for the Safari browser on portable devices ensure that it is used in a sequential manner more than Firefox does.
Internet Explorer, pre-installed in Windows, also remains the default browser, but it's clear how slow and heavy the browser is. Bing search engine doesn't help, either. Firefox dominated the browser market from Internet Explorer early in the first written agreement of the 21st century, so it's safe to say that Firefox is an any-day favorite over Internet Explorer.
View the Mozilla Firefox file with a direct link
Firefox is a lean web browser, with a good user front side and plugins that enhance your browsing endeavor. It is a front-end facilitator that ensures the browser is lightweight and has instant startup time. However, Firefox is not a preferred browser for mobile phones, and with a system that is largely central to updating content and websites, it has fallen behind Google Chrome, which has dominated a larger share of the place to buy and sell. With integration and compatibility issues, Firefox is soon becoming the least preferred option for users. It's not Internet Explorer but it's also not Google Chrome.

Peatlands Strategy: UFU warns against funding bog rewetting plans from direct payments budget
Rachel Martin
Sep 8, 2021, 9:14am
The Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) has aired its concerns over the economic effects of rewetting peatland in Northern Ireland as outlined in the draft Peatlands Strategy. The union submitted its response to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) Northern Ireland Peatland Strategy 2021-2040 consultation.
Peatlands Strategy
The Northern Ireland Peatlands Strategy 2021-2040 drafted by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs is currently under consultation. The strategy will also encourage government bodies and agencies to stop using peat by the end of 2022.
It will also seek to ban the use, import and sale of peat compost in Northern Ireland by 2025, and conduct a review on the potential for a ban on peat extraction on all publicly owned land by 2022. UFU deputy president William Irvine said: "The Peatland Strategy that will be in place to 2040 is extremely important as peatlands are some of the most valued ecosystems on the planet and they have their own distinctive landscapes. "We strongly believe that any new strategy relating to peatlands in NI, needs to be given great consideration, must be measurable and all proposals realistic.
Peatland areas play a hugely important role in the cycle of food production and the environment – they go hand in hand and have done so for thousands of years. DAERA must not dismiss this when they create a new policy.
"In relation to peatland restoration, there has been no costings detailed to the type of work DAERA believes needs to be carried out or where the money would come from. "The UFU has made it very clear in its response that the funding must not come from the current Common Agriculture Policy budget.
Funding must be found from elsewhere if the government believes this is such an important public good – farmers and landowners cannot be the sacrificial lamb.
"Reading through the consultation, it's very apparent that a lack of consideration was given from a horticulture perspective which is very worrying. The timeframe for many of the proposed changes seem unrealistic – DAERA needs to work much more closely with the sector. "Another major issue is future legislation on turbary rights and peat extraction. Should DAERA feel that this needs to be put in place, no engagement or analysis on the impact of it has been carried out and it would remove the individual's right to protect their own land as they see fit.
To move forward with the peatland strategy and ensure that appropriate measures are implemented, DAERA need to form a stakeholder group.
"It must involve farmers and landowners who are going to be at the core of any future restoration plans and DAERA need to seriously take their views into account. "To date, this hasn't been the case and the expertise of our members has been overlooked," said Irvine.

Q: Is there a better way to fetch multiple objects in PHP? Since a few weeks I use prepared statements in PHP with the fetch_object(className:: class). I really like this way because of the autocomplete in my controllers and in my view(Twig), but some times I need an inner join (One to many).
Now I do it like below. Luckily I have only a few results in the projects where I use this so the number of queries is low. But on a large result, this will create a lot of queries. To improve performance I store the $returnResult in apcu / Redis in the controller or save it in a JSON file when I can't use the other cache method.
My question is: can I do this on a better way to reduce the number of queries but still use the fetch_object(className:: class)
Thanks in advance for the help.

There are some excellent regional genealogy conferences in the United States. Genealogists gathered in Ohio last week, and many are in New England this week, but in August we will be in Washington state. Registration opens TODAY for the Northwest Genealogy Conference held August 13-15, 2015 in Arlington, Washington. I am excited to be a part of this three day conference!
I hope you will consider joining us at the Northwest Genealogy Conference.


According to Awabakal lore, a long time ago, the two upright rock-forms at Swansea Heads were once women.
The two women were turned to stone after getting into trouble from an Awabakal warrior. The reason for them being in trouble is not clearly told.
The women became protectors of the nearby burial sites of their ancestors.
The Awabakal people feared that sea monsters would move down Swansea Channel and into Lake Macquarie, so the two women kept watch for any coming danger. When they saw strange ships or creatures coming from the sea, the women would return to human form and warn the people of any dangers.

ITU and Tokyo 2020 announce triathlon, mixed relay and Para-triathlon courses
Tokyo 2020 courses for the individual triathlon, mixed relay and Para-triathlon have been announced by the International Triathlon Union (ITU) and the Organising Committee.
The races will start and finish in Odaiba Marine Park in Tokyo Bay, an urban resort with white sandy beaches overlooked by Tokyo's high-rise waterfront buildings.
This has been used as the venue for Japan's National Triathlon Championships for more than 20 years.
Triathlon swimming legs will take place in Odaiba Bay.
The bike riding and running courses will wind their way in and around the park, and will incorporate a number of technical features.
The course for individual events will also pass through the West Promenade district of Odaiba, featuring waterfalls and greenery.
Triathletes will complete the 1.5 kilometre swim leg in two laps of Odaiba Marine Park, with the 40km bike section split into eight laps and the 10km run comprising four laps of 2.5km.
The mixed relay - added to the Olympic programme for the first time - involves teams of two men and two women completing a short-course triathlon.
Each team member completes a 300 metre swim, a 7.4km bike ride and a 2km run before handing off to a team-mate to take over.
The Para-triathlon will consist of a 750m swim, a 20km bike ride and a 5km run.
The men's Olympic triathlon will take place on July 27, with the women's event being staged on the following day.
The mixed relay will be staged on August 1 - which has been dubbed as "Super Saturday" as it features 23 sports including a number of medal events.

Marisol Casado, President of the ITU and an International Olympic Committee member, said: "I am extremely proud of the courses that will stage the Tokyo 2020 Olympic individual triathlon races, the mixed relay and the Para-triathlon races.
"We have been working hard with Tokyo 2020 to develop courses that will be exciting for the athletes and spectators alike.
"The location is perfect and it is incredibly exciting to be right in the heart of Tokyo at the Odaiba Bay.
"It is a great opportunity to showcase this amazing city to the whole world as the best triathletes and Para-triathletes on the planet compete among Tokyo's iconic landmarks.
"For ITU, it is key to provide courses that allow the best possible conditions for the athletes, the best viewing scenarios for spectators on site as well as watching on television, and that consider the sustainability and legacy after the Games, so we work closely with Tokyo 2020 to provide the best environment for the athletes, both now and in the near future.
"As it is always the case, we are extremely satisfied with the stages we have designed on which our athletes can shine in the summer of 2020, and we will work with Tokyo 2020 to improve those conditions further, where necessary and possible.
"Tokyo 2020 will be unforgettable for triathlon with our new event added to the calendar.
"As the thrill and excitement of the mixed relay adds to that of the individual races, we are sure that, on these great circuits, we will all be able enjoy our best Olympic and Paralympic Games to date."
Japanese triathlete Hirokatsu Tayama, who has competed at every Olympic Games since Athens 2004, added: "When I imagine the cheering crowds at Odaiba Marine Park and along public roads in the city centre, I really envy the athletes who'll be competing and feeling that excitement.
"I am sure that the course will be a showcase for the Tokyo 2020 Games, with panoramic views of tourist attractions such as Tokyo Tower, the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Skytree.
"I am confident that good water quality at Odaiba can be assured, leaving a positive legacy for the future, and that the Tokyo 2020 Games will be a sustainable Games, one where athletes will be able to compete in absolute safety."

John Harvard is a sculpture in bronze by Daniel Chester French in Harvard Yard, Cambridge, Massachusetts honoring clergyman John Harvard (1607–1638), whose deathbed
bequest to the

recently undertaken by the Massachusetts Bay Colony was so gratefully received that it was consequently ordered

There being nothing to indicate what John Harvard had looked like, French used a Harvard student collaterally descended from an early Harvard president as inspiration.

The statue's inscriptionis the subject of an arch polemic
traditionally recited for visitors,
questioning whether John Harvard justly merits the honorific founder.
According to a Harvard official, the founding of the college was not the act of one but the work of many, and
John Harvard is therefore considered not the founder, but rather afounder, of the school, though the timeliness and generosity of his contribution have made him the most honored of these.

Tourists often rub the toe of John Harvards left shoe for luck.

Composition

The New York Times described the statue at its unveiling:

John Harvard's gift to the school was £780 andperhaps more importantlyhis 400-volume scholar's library:

That he had died of tuberculosis, at about age thirty,
was one of the few things known about John Harvard at the time of the statue's composition; as dedication orator George Edward Ellis put it:

Historian Laurel Ulrich suggests that John Harvards general composition may have been inspired by Hendrik Goltzius' engraving of Clio, and that  the figure's collar, buttons, tassel, and mustache may have been taken from a portrait of Plymouth Colony Governor Edward Winslow.

History

On June 27, 1883,
at the Commencement Day dinner of Harvard alumni a letter was read
from "a generous benefactor, General Samuel James Bridge, an adopted alumnus of the college":

Bridge specified an "ideal" statue because there was then (as now)
nothing to indicate what John Harvard had looked like;
thus when French began work in September he used Harvard student Sherman Hoar as inspiration for the figure's face.
"In looking about for a type of the early comers to our shores," he wrote, "I chose a lineal descendant of them for my model in the general structure of the face. He has more of what I want than anybody I know."
(Through his father Ebenezer Rockwood Hoarchairman of Harvard's Board of OverseersSherman Hoar was descended from a brother of Harvard's fourth president Leonard Hoar,
as well as from Roger Sherman, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.)

The commission weighed heavily on French even as the figure neared completion. "I am sometimes scared by the importance of this work. It is a subject that one might not have in a lifetime," wrote the sculptorwho thirty years later would create the statue of Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial"and a failure would be inexcusable. As a general thing, my model looks pretty well to me, but there are dark days."

French's final model was ready the following May and realized in bronze by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company over the next several months.
The cost was reportedly more than $20,000 (equivalent to $ in ).

The statue was installed"looking wistfully into the western sky", said Harvard president
Charles W. Eliotat
the western end of Memorial Hall on the triangular city block then known as the Delta
.
At its October 15, 1884 unveiling Ellis gave
"a singularly felicitous address, telling the story of the life of John Harvard, who passes so mysteriously across the page of our early history."

In 1920 French wrote
to Harvard president Abbott Lawrence Lowell desiring that the statue be relocated; in 1924
it was moved from Memorial Hall (then the college dining halla
Harvard Lampoon drawing showed John Harvard dismounting his plinth, chair in tow, and holding his nose because he "couldn't stand the smell of 'Mem' any longer")
to its current location on the west side of Harvard Yard's University Hall, facing Harvard Hall, Massachusetts Hall, and the Johnston Gate.
Later that year the Lampoon imagined the frustrations of the metallic, immobile John Harvard surrounded by Harvard undergraduates

though twelve years later David McCord portrayed the founder as satisfied in his stationarity:

A photograph of the statue appeared on the cover of the May 5, 1941 issue of Life magazine.

Sometime in the 1990s tour guides began encouraging visitors to emulate a "student tradition"nonexistentof rubbing the toe of John Harvards left shoe for luck, so that while the statue as a whole is darkly weathered the toe now "gleams almost throbbingly bright, as though from an excruciating inflammation of the bronze."
It is, however, traditional for seniors, as they process to graduation exercises on Commencement Day (), to remove their caps as they pass.

The statue is depicted on the United States Postal Service's 1986 John Harvard stamp (part of its Great Americans series).

Seals and inscriptions

The monument's six-foot
granite plinth is by Boston architect Charles Howard Walker.
On its southern side (the side to the viewer's right), in bronze, is the seal of John Harvard's alma mater, the University of Cambridge's Emmanuel College; on the northern side is what Ellis called "that most felicitously chosen of all like devices, the three open books and the veritas of Harvard. The pupil of the one institution was the founder of the other, transferring learning from its foreign home to this once wilderness scene."
On the rear are the words
.

The face of the plinth is inscribed (in letters originally gilt)
words "hardly read before some smartass guide breezily informs the unsuspecting visitor that this is, after all, the 'Statue of the Three Lies (as Douglas Shand-Tucci put it)
because (as is ritually related to freshmen and

the statue is not a likeness of ;

:*it was the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colonynot John Harvardwhich first voted , preempting any claim for John Harvard as ; and

the Court's vote came in 1636, not in the inscription's the latter being merely the year of John Harvard's bequest to the school.

However (Shand-Tucci continues) "the idea of the three lies is at best a fourth, and by far the greater falsehood,"
as detailed in a 1934 letter to the Harvard Crimson from the secretary of the Harvard Corporation and director of the school's then-upcoming Tercentenary Celebration:
{{quote|

The facts as to John Harvard's relation to the founding of the College are not at all in dispute nor can it be said that the statue in front of University Hall does any violence to them.

No likeness of John Harvard having been preserved, the statue
[is an "ideal" representation].

If the founding of a university must be dated to a split second of time, then the founding of Harvard should perhaps be fixed by the fall of the president's gavel in announcing the passage of the vote of October 28, 1636
.
But if the founding is to be regarded as a process rather than as a single event

[then John Harvard, by virtue of his bequest "at the very threshold of the College's existence and going further than any other contribution made up to that time to ensure its permanence"] is clearly entitled to be considered a founder. The General Court...

acknowledged the fact by bestowing his name on the College.

These are all familiar facts and it is well that they should be understood by the sons of Harvard. They are entirely compatible with the inscription on John Harvard's statue. There is no myth to be destroyed. }}

Pranks

The statue became the target of pranks soon after its unveiling.

1884 tarring

In 1884 The Harvard Crimson reported that,
"Some ingenious persons covered the John Harvard statue last night with a coat of tar. The same persons presumably, marked a large '87 on the wall at the entrance of the chapel,"
and in 1886 the Crimson mentions a further incident: "A graduate contributor to the Advocate suggests that the editors of the college papers ferret out the authors of the small disturbances, such as the painting of the John Harvard statue."

1890 painting

Following a May 31, 1890 Harvard athletic victory, front-page headlines in the Boston Morning Globe declared:
"Vandalism at Harvard; statue of John Harvard and college buildings daubed with red paint by drunken students; seniors and faculty indignant... Riotous Mob Ruled the Campus."

The next day the Globe further reported that a Harvard student observing graffiti-removal efforts "declared that no Harvard man ever daubed the impious phrase, 'To  with Yale.' He was of the opinion that a Harvard man would at least soften the profanity by varnishing it with Latin or Greek... Two detectives who were requested to ferret out the perpetrators paid little heed to the discussion on swear words, but kept their eyes on several impressions that had been made on the paint when it was fresh. One thought they were made by a dog's paws, and as several students kept dogs the suspicion was magnified to the importance of a clue. A student, however, told the detectives that according to his view the impressions were made by barefoot boys walking on tip-toe."

Out-of-state newspapers reporting the outrage, and to a greater or lesser degree following the subsequent investigation, included (among many others):
 The World (New York, New York; June2, p.2): "A Jocular Outrage Harvard Students Exceed Decency in Celebrating."
 Evening Gazette (Sterling, Illinois; June2, p.4): "Harvard Students on an Outrageous Tear. Slathers of Red Paint Used. The Fine Statue of the College Founder Ruined by the Crazy Scapegraces."
 Fort Wayne Sentinel (Fort Wayne, Indiana; June2, p.5): "The faculty will expel the criminals and  them if found."
 The Philadelphia Record: "Painted Harvard Red Disgraceful Antics of Rum-Crazed Students. Cambridge is Horrified. The Faculty Bent on Vengeance... Last night the whole college celebrated a wild ... There were suppers, bonfires, fish-horns and a general pandemonium; but, save the insane acts of two of the students, who, overcome with enthusiasm, deliberately threw their dress coats into the bonfire while dancing around the blaze, no great overt act was then commit It was during the small hours that the vandals were  [John Harvards] face, hands, books, and shoes were bright crimson, and his clothes striped like a zebra."

Despite a mass meeting of outraged Harvard men (who insisted the culprits must be outsideers or, failing that, freshmen), the hiring of detectives, and an apparently facetious report that Harvard President Charles W. Eliot was unavailable for comment because he had "gone out in the woods to cut switches" (all Globe, June3), on June22 an anonymous contributor (Globe, p.20) intimated that while "the faculty claim that they have not found out any of the men who did the 'fine art' work... I saw the ringleader on class day showing two very pretty girls around the 'yard'."

Other incidents

In March 1934 Harvard athletes were suspected in the disappearance of Yale's "ugly bulldog mascot", Handsome Dan.
The dog was recovered a few days later, though not before the Harvard Lampoon had photographed him licking John Harvards boots,
which had been smeared with hamburger.
("Dog licks man", a Crimson headline read.)

"Some years ago some students painted [the statue] crimson and our cops caught them red-handed", Deputy Chief of the Harvard University Police Jack W. Morse told The Harvard Crimson in 1984, adding "I've been waiting a long time to use that."
(Crimson is Harvard's school color.)

As the statue's hundredth anniversary approached, Harvard Lampoon president Conan O'Brien predicted that "we'll probably stuff it with cottage cheese, maybe also with some chives."
"I think it's creative but I wish students would direct their creative energies elsewhere," a Harvard maintenance official said in 2002.

"Idealization" dispute

The challenge of creating an idealized representation of John Harvard was discussed by Ellis at the October 1883 meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society:

But Society president Robert Charles Winthrop harshly disapproved:

A year later, in his oration before the unveiling of what he called "a simulacrum... a conception of what Harvard might have been in body and lineament, from what we know that he was in mind and in soul", Ellis answered Winthrop's criticism:

Should there ever appear, however,

Wanjau is undoubtedly one of Kenya's most revered and influential sculptors. Born in Nyeri on the family farm, he left school to join a carvers' cooperative in Mombasa and later in Nairobi. When independence came he started producing curios for the tourist market. On meeting Elimo Njau of Paa Ya Paa (Arts Centre), he began to explore new styles and techniques away from the tourist market he had been catering for and developed a highly personal style that conveyed powerful emotion in the everyday figures and animals he carved. Wanjau exhibited widely in East Africa and internationally including in Sweden, Britain, Canada, the U.S. and Italy.
His influence on the second generation of sculptors, which includes both his sons, Jackson and Anthony, has been profound. His work and career is emblematic of a time when artists were breaking away from the mass production of co-operatives and finding thier individual voices.

Bob Maron, Watch Dealer to the Stars
By Eric Spitznagel on May 24, 2012
When Bob Maron walks onto the set of Anger Management, Charlie Sheen's new sitcom for the FX (NWSA) network, he exudes the confidence of a Hollywood agent or manager. Sheen spots him from across the room and walks over and gives him a bear hug.
Despite Maron's swagger, he's just the guy who sells Sheen wristwatches. "He has incredible taste," says Sheen, who's made Maron a co-executive producer on his show. "He's the most astute player in the game. He truly is, in my opinion, the market maker."
Maron specializes in brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe, and makes a convincing case for spending more on a watch than on a house.
"You can drive a Ferrari, but you can't drive it into a board meeting,"
he likes to say.
"You can put a beautiful Warhol on your wall, but you can't take it to dinner with your friends."
And he has countless stories that prove that spending a fortune on a watch is the best investment you'll ever make.
"A client I worked with, one of the first hires at Dell (DELL), he bought 22 vintage Paul Newman Daytonas from me 10 years ago," Maron says. "I thought he was nuts. I remember the highest price I ever charged him for an individual watch was $16,000. A few years ago I ended up buying his collection back. I bought 20 of his watches for a million and a half bucks. He got the last laugh." (No, Maron did. He only bought the watches, he says, because he knew he could sell them for $2 million. "And I did.")
Maron, 52, has been buying and selling watches since 1982, and the market for watch collecting, he says, has never been stronger. Christie's, the New York auction house, reported watch sales of $116.3 million last year, a 28 percent increase from 2010. Global Industry Analysts, a San Jose publisher of market research, predicts the worldwide market for watches could reach $46.6 billion by 2017.
Fine watches have survived their redundancy in the age of mobile phones because telling time is beside the point. "Even the most complicated timepieces have a handmade quality to them," says Evan Zimmermann, chief executive officer of Geneva-based watch auction house Antiquorum. "They're not disposable, plastic things that will be replaced tomorrow with something smaller and faster." In a culture that constantly looks forward, he says, watches offer a connection to a centuries-old art form.

Maron, who runs his own vintage watch boutique, Robert Maron Inc., in Thousand Oaks, Calif., has certainly benefited from the increased interest in collectible watches. Most of his customers, he says, buy in bulk. The serious collectors will buy anywhere from 40 to 200 watches. As for what that translates to in actual earnings, Maron won't get into specifics. "We sell million-dollar watches," he says. "You don't have to do a lot of math to realize we're doing tens of millions of dollars of business." He says profits are up 20 percent so far in 2012.
Maron seems to enjoy cultivating an air of mystery in everything he does. He declines to name most clients. "I deal with some of the most well-known icons in the business world," says Maron at his office. "I'm constantly on the phone with somebody from Goldman Sachs (GS) or …." He pauses, whispering to his associates, Paul King, chief financial officer, and Rob Spayne, sales and marketing manager. "Let's just say when a guy sells his business for a couple hundred million bucks, his money usually finds its way to me."
While Maron's corporate clientele prefers discretion, he has a high-profile customer pool of celebrities, including musician John Mayer and actors Orlando Bloom and Jennifer Aniston. "Maron is the only watch dealer that I ever allowed to bring watches into the locker room," says Mike Dunleavy, former head coach and general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers. "He knows exactly what you want and how to get it," says Richie Sambora, lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. "I recently contacted him requesting a very rare Rolex made in 1962 as a present for one of my band mates. Within days it was delivered to my hotel room in New York. He's the rock star of watch dealers."
Sheen has been buying from Maron for almost a decade, through good times and bad. The engraved Patek Philippe Calatrava that Sheen used to propose to real estate investor Brooke Mueller in 2007? That came from Maron. And when Sheen tore apart his room at New York's Plaza Hotel in 2010 looking for his cherished $165,000 Patek Philippe Ref. 5970, the watch he accused adult film performer Capri Anderson of stealing, it was Maron who helped him find a replacement. Maron also sold him the original and was out with Sheen the night before it disappeared.
"He partied a little harder than me," Maron says. "Dinner turned into drinks turned into 4 in the morning. But I skipped out on dinner the next night. Charlie's blamed me for his 5970 disappearing. He said, 'If you'd been with me, you wouldn't have let me go up to the room with the watch on my wrist.' Which is true, by the way."
Born and raised in Chicago, Maron never saw watches as his career. As a student at Harvard and then UCLA School of Law during the late 1980s and early '90s, he paid for his tuition by buying and selling vintage timepieces. It was a low-stakes hobby he did mostly for fun. In 1999 he attended a Christie's auction in New York and made an impulsive bid on an IWC Il Destriero Scafusia. "The price was up to $100,000," he remembers. "And somehow I raised my paddle. I bought the watch for $107,000. And I had no money." But he did have a line of credit with Christie's, and he managed to sell the watch for a profit to Silicon Valley real estate developer Robert Eves. "I just started telling him how magnificent the watch was," Maron says. "I basically didn't stop talking till he said 'yes.' " With that sale, he graduated into the big leagues.
There's very little Maron won't do to beat a competitor. He's flown to Las Vegas on his wedding anniversary, his wife in tow, to wine and dine an Italian race car driver who wasn't quite ready to part with his Patek 130, a model that sold at a Christie's auction in 2008 for $213,833. ("I ended up getting the watch," he says.) He's driven out to a hippie commune in Joshua Tree National Park to inspect a rare Patek before a Christie's inspector could show up. ("I was part of a drum circle," he says. "I left with the watch.") He's hired a helicopter pilot to take him on a high-speed commute from Thousand Oaks to Palm Springs to buy a vintage Patek World Time from a difficult seller. "The guy told me, 'I want a cashier's check for $50,000 by 5 p.m. or I'm considering other offers, and I'm not flexible on this,' " Maron remembers. "It was 3:30 in the afternoon, and he was 140 miles away." Maron made it to the seller with minutes to spare.
For all his success, Maron still has a Great White Whale of timepieces: the Patek Philippe Ref. 3449. Only three were made, and two are publicly accounted for. One was sold in 2004 for $1.4 million at an Antiquorum auction and the other in November 2011 at a Christie's auction, fetching €1.2 million (approximately $1.5 million). As for the third, Maron is either still searching for it or already has it; he won't say. "People have insisted that I've found the third," he says, without elaborating on who these people might be. "I'm not going to confirm or deny it." He laughs. "The world will find out if I own it if I offer it for sale," he says with a grin. "Let's leave it at that."

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – Demonstrations and protests continue across the country and on Sunday in Hampton Roads, many of the protests focused on faith.
Many state, local, and faith-based leaders came together to hold peaceful protests with God at the center. They were there to praise and spread a message.
Young and old from nearly 100 different churches gathered at Norfolk City Hall for the peaceful march, praying for peace and unity.
One of the religious leaders who helped organize the event said the number of people that showed up changes how he felt two weeks ago.
"It makes me hopeful. Two weeks ago if you would have put that mic in my face, I would have been in tears. Pessimistic, hopeless, numb angry, and confused — today, I'm filled with hope," said Pastor David McBride from New Life Church.
It was not just religious leaders, Norfolk Police Chief Boone and his officers marched with the crowd today.
Political leaders like Congresswoman Elaine Luria and Congressman Bobby Scott also made an appearance.
"I think we are all mourning the murder of George Floyd, but I think we also need to look at how we can learn from this and find ways to make our community better. To make it safer, and make life for everyone here more equal and more just," said Luria.
They both also promised that change was coming at the legislative level this week.
"Tomorrow, legislation will be introduced that will prohibit chokeholds. Many communities have prohibited, but apparently is still going — strangling people to death. It will set federal and national standards for policing," said Scott.
Across the water in Portsmouth a smaller but similar rally held the same message.
Chief Angela Greene along with Mayor John Rowe, Councilman Shannon Glover, Councilwoman Elizabeth Psimas, Councilman Nathan Clark and several faith leaders across the City of Portsmouth gathered together at the LOVE sculpture on Crawford Parkway.
Leadership, alongside citizens, joined in an effort to unify the community and pray for comfort for a nation that is hurting after the tragic death of George Floyd.

Navy edges American 87-86 in OT, first game for Eagles
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Cam Davis had a career-high 34 points to out-duel Stacy Beckton Jr. and carry Navy to an 87-86 overtime win over American on Saturday, t he first game for the Eagles this season while the Midshipmen have won seven straight.
Beckton Jr. scored 30 points, also a career high, for American, which was opening the season.
Of the teams that elected to play this year, Patriot League members American and Loyola (Maryland) are the last to see action. Loyola tipped off at Lafayette six hours after the Eagles started.
Despite his big game and going 10 of 14 from the foul line, Davis kept the game interesting. Davis made two free throws with 11 seconds left in regulation to pull the Midshipmen within 73-72 and then two seconds later the Eagles missed the front end of a 1-and-1.
Davis was fouled going to the basket with a second to play and he made the tying free throw but missed the game-winner.
After making six straight free throws in overtime, four in the last 30 seconds, and Johnny O'Neil hit a long 3-pointer for American at 3.5 seconds, Davis missed a pair on purpose with 2.7 seconds left. American, without a timeout, couldn't get off a final shot.
John Carter Jr. had 14 points, six in overtime and six rebounds for Navy (8-1, 5-0 Patriot League). Daniel Deaver added 10 points. Navy was 29 of 40 from the foul line and shot 40% from the field.
Jamir Harris had 20 points for the Eagles. Johnny O'Neil added 14 points, eight rebounds and six blocks. Josh Alexander had seven rebounds. Beckton was 10-of-13 shooting, 5 of 6 from 3-point range. Harris and O'Neil were both 4 of 8 behind the arc as American was 14 of 28 from distance.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two suspects, one seen grinning in surveillance photos, stole a woman's credit card last month and spent thousands of dollars using it, police say.
The victim's wallet was stolen out of her purse while she was eating at Sullivan's Steakhouse on E. 86th Street in April 2018.
"My purse was hanging on the back of my chair," said the victim, who wishes not to be identified. "I was there the whole time, but when I got home I reached in for my wallet and realized my wallet was gone."
Police believe a man and a woman stole the wallet, then used debit and credit cards at Target and Best Buy stores in Indianapolis and Westfield.
The purchases at both stores totaled more than $17,000.
"It just feels kinda creepy that they were watching me and noticed I wan't paying attention. Kind of preying on people who aren't paying attention," said the victim.
In the surveillance photos seen below, the male suspect can be seen laughing and grinning as he entered the stores before using the woman's cards to make very large purchases.
"These could be the people that stole the card," said Detective Tim Conley. "These could be the people that passed the card. we know that these are the people that passed the card at the Target and the Best Buy for roughly $17,000 dollars."
If you have any information on the suspects, call Crime Stoppers at 317-262-8477 or 800-222-8477.

Bowerbirds
Bowerbirds top 20 songs
Bowerbirds biography
The best songs of North Carolina's Bowerbirds have always seemed eternal. Coruscated by Beth Tacular's bird song and Phil Moore's environmentalist empathy, "In Our Talons" (off Bowerbirds' Hymns for a Dark Horse) was, at its core, a quest for solidarity in a world of closing shadows. Upper Air's "Northern Lights" painted a pained portrait of love shrouded in doubt as perfectly as Cash, Dylan or Cohen ever have. These felt like more than songs; they felt like treasures. But those recordings were made on the quick and the cheap, with nylon-stringed guitars, fiddle lines and drum patterns that became comfortable. You could imagine these songs as old stateside standards, because, really, that's how they sounded—campfire anthems sung by a couple clinging to very deep love. The Clearing is the third album by the Bowerbirds, and as is often the case for bands that have found steady success, they had more time and better resources to make it. This is a bigger record, with bolder sounds, a broader scope, and more complicated songs. "Tuck the Darkness In" for example, surges in its final two minutes with a wall of electric guitars and drums, while other tracks feature restless vibraphones, pianos and drums. Thing is, these songs don't cede to the increased production demands. The guitars and strings, codas and bridges simply make these thoughts more urgent, more vital and more necessary, but not one bit less permanent. The Clearing is more than a third record for the Bowerbirds. Between 2009's Upper Air and this one, Beth nearly died after a mysterious illness that put her in the hospital. They rescued and adopted a dog that ran beneath their tour van's tires. Beth and Phil even ended their long relationship but began it again after realizing that, despite their own shortcomings, they didn't want to be with anyone else. Mostly, though, they returned to their cabin in the woods of North Carolina to nest—to make soup and walk dogs, to make art and write songs, to realize that this was their life and find contentment in it. For the Bowerbirds, The Clearing represents the perfect realization of a fresh, timely outlook. Here, there's acceptance with ambition, patience with aspirations, understanding with intelligence. On The Clearing, Phil and Beth sing of the best and most important moments of their life and, in turn, create new ones. Bowerbirds' The Clearing is available on Dead Oceans starting March 6, 2012—and, subsequently, forever. See them live all over North America this spring.


Now that the weather's really starting to turn, it's the perfect time to pull on one of the season's best all-around fabrics: moleskin. What is moleskin? It's not made from the skin of moles. It's actually a thick cotton fabric that's been brushed and sanded, creating a slightly fuzzy pile on one side. Think corduroy without the wales. Soft yet durable, it stands up well against the elements, from blustery and wet fall days to the most bitter of winter nights. Which may explain why the majority of manufacturers of moleskin are British mills—and why you can spot the fabric in a whole range of goods this season. From Supreme's naval button-down and Billy Reid's jeans to J. Peterman's unstructured blazer, the sueded texture adds a relaxed, casual air to whatever you pair with them. Herewith, a few of our favorites.

The Jugtown Century
Home » The Jugtown Century
Turning fire and clay into works of art
By Ray Owen
Nestled in the northwest corner of Moore County in the early 1900s, Jacques and Juliana Busbee's Jugtown Pottery elevated folk pottery into a broader appreciation of art and cultural heritage. A pair of Raleigh artists initially viewed as "foreigners," the Busbees traveled the back roads of Moore and Randolph counties like old-time politicians, introducing themselves and their goals while learning about pottery from those who made it. They collected traditional wares and studied folkways, lived among the country folks and wove themselves into the culture with dignity and personal warmth. The Busbees cared deeply about the plight of the potters, their long history and struggles.
Utilizing local materials and old-time turning and firing techniques, their own pottery provided a kind of visual nourishment that proved as timeless as its classical inspiration, and became the foundation for traditional pottery of the 20th century in North Carolina. The great gift of the Busbees' revival was their aesthetically pleasing ware, a fusion of traditional and Oriental ceramic forms created under the watchful eye of Jacques Busbee. They found not only a new direction for the North Carolina pottery trade, propelling their community into the future, but also a means of sustaining a way of life for the Owen/Owens family of potters. And the couple grew to be the leading advocates for the trade.
The Busbees accomplished this transformation by cultivating a wider audience for folk pottery and, in turn, the Seagrove area came to embrace the Busbees as their own. This symbiosis proved not only important for marketing pots but for defining the identity of the potters themselves, helping to foster the survival of a craft that in most other areas had passed into the ages.
The arrival of the Busbees marks the turning point for a region that was looking to reinvent itself at the end of the era of the salt-glazed jug. While the locals saw pottery as another cash crop, Jacques and Juliana thought of it as something to be celebrated for its beauty. Their outsider's perspective offered a broader view for the symbols of handmade pots and rural society, and over time the district's residents began to see themselves through this lens. The old pug mill with the mule, and the treadle wheel and groundhog kiln, came to have new meaning and a source of community pride.
This vision of a new pottery that could breathe life into handmade craft would have been nothing without the willing hands of the potters. The craftsmen were ripe for engagement and served as the co-creators of Jacques and Juliana's artistic undertaking. It should be noted that gifted craftsmen open to innovation were viewed as exceptional, or "different," not unlike the early perception of the Busbees, whose pieces were at first described as "play" or "toy" ware. This view of the innovative potters' exceptionalism likely resulted from their involvement with the newcomers in southern Moore County who where influencing their style and taste.
In the early years of the 20th century, Southern Pines and Pinehurst provided a market for pottery from the northern end of the county. The potters streamed into the settlements on schooner wagons with loads of utilitarian ware, only to find worldly resort dwellers more interested in urns, jars and teapots. The townsfolk began showing the tradesmen drawings and examples of the pieces they were willing to buy, compliant craftsmen began turning out new shapes, and sightseers began visiting their shops.
A new way for the potters was also provided by arts enthusiast Neva Burgess, who at the start of the 1900s began promoting regional arts and crafts at Lift-the-Latch Tearoom in the southern Moore County town of Pinebluff. This early sales outlet for traditional pottery offered lectures and exhibitions, set in a self-consciously rustic log cabin reminiscent of Jugtown. For several years prior to the Busbees' arrival, potters were invited to give public demonstrations and to exhibit at the Sandhills Fair in Pinehurst, paving the way for their venture.
Jugtown represents a convergence of people who joined together with a common creative goal to make something successful happen. Beyond nourishing the pottery tradition, the key to understanding the Busbees' vision is its connection through the generations. Sustained by teaching and sharing, such a lineage is a fragile thing, lost forever if the chain is broken. With a heritage so rich, perhaps all those who have followed in the Busbees' footsteps have felt that nurturing the tradition was tied to a sense of being part of something greater than themselves, and that those before them kept the tradition alive under much harder circumstances.
Since 1983, Jugtown has been owned and operated by potters Vernon and Pam Owens, and their family. Vernon began turning pots at Jugtown in 1960, and his grandfather, J.H. Owen, was the first potter to successfully partner with the Busbees. Through the years, the pottery complex has remained basically unchanged, and the Owenses have carefully restored and preserved the facility. Most remarkably, in a time when almost all traditional pottery buildings have disappeared, Vernon still turns pots in the original turning room, completely unchanged from when it was built, with a dirt floor and bare log walls.
Like the Busbees before them, the Owenses produce a hybrid of traditional and classic forms, ever careful in their transformation from old to new traditions. Older pots from the region remain an inspiration, just as Jacques and Juliana had envisioned. Decorative motifs reflect the natural world and agrarian setting, with incised sine waves, farm animals, and birds being common themes. The vessels carry evidence of the fire and earth from which they were made — some slick like clay, others rough and volcanic, and others with slight finger grooves from the hands of their creator.
In some regards, the cares and concerns of today are not so different from the early 20th century — machines continue to replace people, as social upheaval and change persist — but Jugtown holds the same allure as when it was founded. In a 1991 interview conducted with Vernon Owens, reflecting on life at Jugtown, he said, "The more automated and the more things are done by a computer, the more important it is that this place, and any other place like this, stay the same. What you're doing, you're going back to a time when time didn't matter that much, and that's one of the things that draws people to a place like this."
With its picturesque setting, Jugtown is the best-preserved pottery in the eastern Piedmont and one of the most significant traditional potteries in America. The complex consists of 12 rustic log cabins that blend seamlessly into the surrounding farmscape. The property embodies the Busbees' belief in the civilizing influence of rural society, a throwback to a place closed off from the outside world where they had everything to do for themselves. The effect is one of being deep-rooted and unchanged over time, reflective of the values of thrift, modesty, plain-style tastes and homespun ways.
When you pass through the gates you encounter a cultural landscape, with a visceral, almost instinctive alignment with the past. There are those who have said it is haunted, that sometimes in the quiet of the old Busbee house you can hear the muffled sound of music drifting through the air. Stories of this apparition pre-date the current owners, with reports of the phenomena spanning decades. Whether or not one believes such accounts, the telling and retelling of these stories gives them a certain degree of life and meaning.
Jugtown is, and always has been, a shared experience. The Busbees' vision permeates the site, and its distinctive and cherished aspects are as real to its residents and their patrons as its physical characteristics. It is a feeling that surrounds them and is held within, connecting with the invisible fabric of life. PS

When the West Was Really Wild


In recognition of the Academic Committee's proposal that hours at the Robert L. Carothers Library be extended for finals week and the two weeks prior, Karim B. Boughida, the Dean of University Libraries, came to address the concerns of the Student Senate during public forum. Boughida said that this proposal, while being legitimate, was not made well in advance of the requested time, and that opening the library for the specific hours of 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. needs a lot of time and resources, and thus the outcome has not yet been determined.
The library will maintain the 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. hours from Tuesday, Dec. 13 to Friday, Dec. 23.
Boughida said that the process for extending hours is a long one, as they have to complete extensive staff hires, which also ties in with union concerns. Also, the high cost of extending library hours needs to be justified by student use, which he believes is not there yet.
Lastly, Boughida addressed other concerns about the library, specifically with more outlets in study rooms, stations for filtered water, more chairs and tables, more computers in the 24 Hour Room, and a vending machine for office supplies. He said these ideas were all within the realm of possibility.
SOARC introduced two bills which would recognize Rhody Archery and the URI Theme Park Engineering and Design Club as student-funded organizations.
To finish the meeting, Senate filled two vacant positions through a vote. Freshman Yasmin Hussein was confirmed as an Off-Campus Representative and current senator Shannon McIsaac was confirmed as the College of Nursing Liaison.

I can offer a fully fitted kitchen from start to finish. This includes removal of the current kitchen, re-plastering the walls and laying the floors, wall and floor tiling and painting and decorating.
Using my 15 years experience in the trade I can give advise about the wide range of products available on the market as well as using my network of trade accounts I can find you the cheapest prices which is sometimes 15-20% less than places like B&Q and IKEA.
I generally use Howdens or Magnet for the kitchens I supply and fit as they are high quality kitchens which are cheaper to buy than some other budget kitchens from other suppliers, but if you have a kitchen in mind from another supplier then I would be more than happy to advise what you would need and what would work well in your new kitchen.
As well as fully fitted kitchens I can supply and fit just worktops and new cupboard doors as in a lot of cases just changing the doors and worktops can make your kitchen look completely different for a quarter of the price.
I work closely with other trades so I can manage the project from start to finish and make sure the plumbing, plastering, electrics and gas work has been completed by fully qualified tradesmen, on time and within budget.

The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child
One of the worst feelings a child can have is being discouraged in school. The sense of hopelessness that pervades can become almost insurmountable. This is the emotional experience for the child called the "Shut-Down Learner." The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child, describes a common, but poorly understood constellation of characteristics.
Referred to in the text as "Lego kids" or "high spatial children," such kids thrive with hands-on tasks that "load" on visual and spatial abilities. They excel in so many areas and have many academic strengths, yet when it comes to the core skills necessary for success in school, they are often quite lacking.
This leads to the "Shut-Down Learner," a child who is discouraged and disconnected relative to school. As a result, parents do not know what to do. They become tense, frustrated, and frantic, feelings which lead to an equally tense and frustrated student. Many of these children have a specific learning disability, such as dyslexia.
The Shut-Down Learner offers hope and solutions for parents dealing with frustrated students. Written in a friendly style that is easily understood by parents without jargon or technical language, the book allows parents to understand their child's characteristics, and offers specific approaches, academic interventions, and strategies for students who shut down. The intention of this book is to support parents as they begin to break the downward spiral. Illustrations are included to help convey the issues facing the shut-down learner. The text has been honed after review by parents of shut-down learners, and professionals in the field.
Shut-down learners can become very successful adults, if they are able somehow to get through school relatively unscathed. Typical Shut-Down Learner fields include architects, engineers, computer programmers, dentists, interior decorators, entrepreneurs and businessman, to name a few. There are many other fields that tend to attract shut-down learners, just as there are many adults with learning disabilities in the workplace.
To order an autographed paper back copy or copies of The Shut-Down Learner directly from Dr. Selznick for $14.95 + shipping & handling, please use the "buy now" link below.
The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child, is also available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
What others are saying:
It was with much joy that I read your book entitled "The Shut-Down Learner" recently. There are so many books out there that tell kids and their parents what's wrong with them. Finally, a book that speaks to their strengths. As an advocate for the "non-labeling" approach to kids with learning differences, I was impressed with your ability to discuss the various types of reading, writing and spelling weaknesses while emphasizing the spatial giftedness that these children possess.
The use of the vignettes was especially clever and certainly holds the reader's interest, even those whose minds might wander easily. The spatial resources in the back were especially helpful and parents and professionals with interest in this topic can certainly make use of them. I will be recommending this book to the parents and students that I see in my practice as a must read.

"I have just received the Shut-Down Learner authored by Richard Selznick, Ph.D. Dr. Selznick's many years of working with children and parents is the foundation of his new book The Shut-Down Learner. Immediately apparent is his keen eye that Dr. Selznick has for professional observation and his extraordinary empathy for the children and parents that are fortunate enough to cross his path. Without resorting to professional jargon, Dr. Selznick has created a resource for parents and teachers that promotes insight and understanding, relieves guilt, and provides strategies for intervention."

Emerson has been a member of the Board of Directors of the International Dyslexia Association for 12 years and is currently the President.
"In reading Dr. Selznick's book, I thought for a minute he was writing my biography! I was one of those "shut down learners" who was called lazy almost every day. I was a child who believed I was just not very bright, and I believed that for the first 30 years of my life. And like the rest of us, I was filled with shame and self-loathing. If this book was available to my teachers and my parents back then, how much suffering could have been avoided. If your child is doing poorly in school, imagine how much suffering can still be avoided.
This book is clear, informative and without jargon. But more important, in today's world of 'diagnose it and medicate it,' Dr. Selznick humanizes very real children with very real problems."

Queenstown Lakes District is a significant tourist destination and home to approximately 30,000 residents. There has been significant growth in our community and in the number of visitors to our district, which includes an increase in the number of freedom campers. Freedom camping numbers have increased dramatically in the past two years specifically at the Shotover Delta and Lake Hayes Reserves. This has resulted in excessive overcrowding, restricted public access and enjoyment of the reserves and public health issues resulting from human waste. Queenstown Lakes District Council (Council) has received many complaints from the public about freedom camping particularly in these two locations.
The current bylaw permits freedom camping at Lake Hayes and on the Shotover Delta. For Lakes Hayes, the current Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Reserve Management Plan 2013 (Lake Hayes RMP), permits a limited form of freedom camping. Freedom camping at Shotover Delta, which does not have a Reserve Management Plan (RMP) is permitted for two nights under the current bylaw (however it is subject to a prohibition under the Reserves Act 1977, which is not enforced).
In February 2018, Council resolved to install lockable gates to restrict vehicle access to the Lake Hayes and Shotover Delta reserves as a 'temporary' measure to address the issues associated with freedom camping. This was a short term solution to address the urgent issues at these two locations, while the Council developed a long term Responsible Camping Strategy that will consider all forms of camping across the district e.g. freedom camping, paid camping.
Submissions will be heard by a subcommittee of Councillors (to be confirmed) from 20 – 24 September 2018, followed by Council considering the outcome of the consultation process and making an appropriate decision on 25 October 2018.
