Barcelona is a beautiful tourist destination, with plenty of cannabis activities for any weed lovers. If you're traveling through Europe, Barcelona's cannabis clubs are a must-see and must-smoke destination.
Sarah Haze
If you're going to Barcelona as a tourist, you may be curious about Spain's weed laws and cannabis culture. When people think about weed in Europe, Spain often isn't the first place to come to mind. Amsterdam has been the undisputed cannabis capital of Europe since the 1970s. However, in recent years, Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia and Spain's second-largest city, has been a strong contender for the top cannabis tourism spot.

The future of Barcelona's cannabis clubs
While Amsterdam has coffee shops that are open to the public, Barcelona has a more lowkey cannabis scene. In Spain, marijuana is decriminalized for personal use, but illegal for commercial purposes. So how can these cannabis social clubs exist?
Barcelona's cannabis clubs exist through a few legal protections. Under the Spanish constitution, people have both the "right to personal and family privacy" and the "right of association." These laws, which essentially allow residents to do what they like on private property, gave legal leeway for the first cannabis clubs to open in Spain in the early 1990s.
Most cannabis clubs in Barcelona are not easily identifiable from the outside. Some have frosted glass doors marked with a logo, but others are unmarked doors with a simple doorbell outside. The best part of Barcelona's cannabis clubs is waiting on the inside.
Like traditional trendy cocktail bars, many of these clubs offer free water and snacks. They usually serve a selection of soft drinks and a variety of alcohol, including beer, cocktails, and a sparkling Spanish wine called cava.
The main point of cannabis clubs though is, of course, the cannabis. Most good spots will have a selection of bongs and dab rigs for members to use. Other entertainment in these clubs may consist of live music, dancing, and DJs. Certain clubs even offer unique events and experiences, like members' dinners, yoga classes, and free haircuts.
How are you supposed to buy weed at these clubs when selling marijuana is illegal in Spain? To get around this law, these social clubs function as collectives. This means that members in a Barcelona cannabis club don't actually "buy" cannabis; they "collect" their share of the club's crop. The club is then supposed to grow as much marijuana as they need for their members.
Unfortunately, this doesn't mean that members don't have pay for their weed— they do. When members first sign up for a club, they pay a membership fee, which is usually around $20 annually. When you visit the club, you charge up your membership account at the front desk. The money added to your account is spent on any cannabis you plan on "collecting" to use.
Barcelona's 200+ cannabis clubs are members-only. Becoming a member can be a tricky process. Some strict clubs only allow applicants who can prove their residency in Spain. Typically, to join a club in Barcelona, you must be invited by an existing member. This may be easy for locals, but most tourists are unlikely to be friends with a member who can invite them.
So how can a tourist become a member? Some clubs are more exclusive than others, but tourists can still get memberships through street promotors or online. A handful of clubs are happy to accept walk-ins, although most clubs are more firm on the rules.
One common way to come across a cannabis club membership is through a street promoter. It's impossible to walk along Barcelona's most iconic street, La Rambla, without bumping into club promoters whispering "coffee shop" to anyone who looks like a potential smoker.
While street promoters are common, they're best to be avoided. The clubs being promoted are often overpriced and 100% illegal. It's not unusual to hear about unsuspecting tourists being robbed by thieves posing as club promoters.
If you're looking to smoke weed in Barcelona, the best way to join a cannabis club is online. Simply look up which clubs are near you, and visit their website. After getting in touch with someone one the site, you'll be offered an appointment to show up to a specific club. Show up on time, bring your passport, pay the signup fee, and you'll be smoking in no time.
When Spanish authorities first started recognizing the legitimacy of Barcelona's cannabis clubs, they began imposing further regulations. Authorities were mainly concerned that the social clubs keep cannabis out of the hands of non-members. Additionally, they decided that cannabis clubs are required to be non-profit. This means that all proceeds are supposed to go back into running the club rather than into the owners' pockets.
Another law stipulates that cannabis clubs must grow all of their marijuana on site. However, given the size of Barcelona commercial spaces, this is often impossible. Grow locations are commonly kept top secret, since clubs are forced to break the law to supply their members.
Barcelona police have a special task force assigned with visiting and inspecting the practices of the city's cannabis social clubs. This includes inspecting the association's bookkeeping, checking that all members have IDs and proof of membership, and making sure the space is up to code.
Barcelona has an exciting cannabis scene even outside of the hundreds of cannabis clubs. The city is also home to Europe's biggest cannabis convention, Spannabis. Every year, the biggest names in the worldwide marijuana industry meet in the Catalan capital to discuss cannabis developments. The event features music, an industry expo, plenty of opportunities for networking, freebies and, of course, a lot of smoking. This festive is a great opportunity to buy or sell the latest goods and rub shoulders with important members of the cannabis community.
Spannabis is a must-see festival for weed lovers and smokers. Every year, thousands of stoners make the pilgrimage across Europe to attend the event. Tons of tourists travel from the UK and Germany, and some dedicated smokers may come from even further.
For the Spanish cannabis community, Spannabis is truly the main event of the year. Spring and early summer, however, are dotted with other fun cannabis festivals. These events include several industry cups to determine the best Spanish cannabis in a variety of categories. These tournaments are usually held inside one of Barcelona's cannabis social clubs.
In 2017, the Catalan government passed the Law of Associations of Cannabis Consumers, which aimed to properly legalize and regulate the clubs' activities, including growing and transporting. Catalonia, the Spanish state of which Barcelona is the capital, has a reputation for making sensible laws. They saw that the clubs were going to be profitable and aimed to regulate the clubs like any other business. Unfortunately, the Spanish national government didn't agree with these laws, and they were overturned by the constitutional court.
The state government, known as the Generalitat, is often at odds with the central government in Madrid. In 2017, they tried to hold a vote to form an independent nation, which resulted in a violent crackdown by national police. This divide of values is part of what allows cannabis clubs to thrive in Barcelona, while they are often raided and shut down in other parts of Spain.
Despite the existence of hundreds of clubs in Barcelona, Spain does not have a nationally regulated medical or recreational cannabis system. Spain seems unlikely to pass such a law ahead of other European countries who are rapidly working toward legalization. However, the precedent set by Barcelona's clubs over the past decades will continue to allow the clubs to thrive unhindered. If Spain wants to stay ahead of the curve on cannabis, the national government would do well to follow Catalonia's lead.

The Mirror and the Light
by Hilary Mantel
"His voice is as close as can be to the voice that's in my head as I write" —Hilary Mantel
The print book of The Mirror and the Light has got rave reviews, but award-winning actor Ben Miles does an amazing job narrating the audiobook. As Hilary Mantel has pointed out, the British actor (who also starred in the Crown) has already played Thomas Cromwell for the Royal Shakespeare Company, in London's West End and on Broadway: "Ben understands the main character from the inside. His insights from the rehearsal room helped shape the story. He is familiar with how all the characters grow, from first page to last."

The Remains of The Day
by Kazuo Ishiguro
If you've never read The Remains of the Day, the audiobook version is highly recommended. British actor and director Dominic West gives a pitch-perfect performance as the narrator of Ishiguro's hauntingly beautiful, Booker Prize-winning novel; his Mr Stevens, an ageing butler looking back upon his life in service with mounting regret, a carefully-constructed shell of English restraint, within which tempests rage.
Narrator: Dominic West
Length: 7 hours and 5 minutes
The Long Take

The Long Take is the winner of the 2019 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018, this powerful and extraordinary novel follows a D-Day veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, as he goes in search of freedom and repair in post-war America.

by Vladimir Nabokov
We highly recommend the audiobook of Lolita. Jeremy Irons gave a brilliant performance as Humbert Humbert in the 1997 film of Nabokov's most controversial work. Here, he reprises the role by narrating the whole novel. Irons' mellifluous voice amplifies the beauty of Nabokov's writing, while his reading renders the all-at-once sinister, deluded, and preposterous qualities of the character. A must.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
It turns out that the brilliant British actor, Stephen Fry, is a Sherlock Holmes books fan, which means that The Complete Sherlock Holmes is also available as an audiobook. Listening to Fry's introduction and then Conan Doyle's stories is a wonderful experience. Our favourite story remains the incredibly scary and mysterious The Hound of the Baskervilles but apparently, according to Washington Post book critic Michael Dirda, it's important to start with The Study in Scarlet.
Narrator: Stephen Fry
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby is F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, set during a hedonistic zenith before the Great Depression.
"Gatsby is a book that is, in some ways, ambivalent about glamour and wealth. It entices us with the glamour of the parties and the wonderful material aspects of Gatsby's life – but it shows that his falling for the false promises of materialism destroys him"—from out interview with Sarah Churchwell on the best books on The Great Gatsby
We also highly recommend the audiobook, in which BAFTA-winning actor Jake Gyllenhaal becomes Nick Carraway, our guide through the glittering yet destructive pull of materialism in pre-Depression New York. He portrays all the ambivalences of Fitzgerald's narrator, thrown into this world of decadence and obsession, while breathing new life into this endlessly re-readable novel.

J. W. Strevell, for plaintiff in error. [164 U.S. 240, 241] Asst. Atty. Gen. Dickinson, for the United States.
The plaintiff in error was indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for the crime of murder, alleged to have been committed on the Crow Indian reservation. He moved to arrest the judgment on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction to try an offense committed on the Crow reservation by other than an Indian, as such crime was exclusively cognizable by the proper court of the state of Montana. The refusal to arrest the judgment on account of this asserted want of jurisdiction is one of the errors pressed upon our attention, and our opinion on the subject will render it unnecessary to consider the other assignments.
The indictment does not state, nor does the record affirmatively show, that the accused and the deceased were negroes, but that fact is conceded both by counsel for the prisoner and the government; and upon such concession the case, as to jurisdiction, was determined below, and is here presented for consideration. Irrespective, however, of the admission of counsel as to the race to which the accused and the deceased belonged, the question of jurisdiction arises on the record, since, if, as matter of law, the reservation was not within the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, as the indictment fails to charge that the crime was committed by an Indian, it necessarily follows that, if the court had jurisdiction only to punish such a crime, the want of jurisdiction appears upon the face of the record. It is clear that if the accused was an Indian, the court below had jurisdiction under the act of March 3, 1885, which, among other things, authorizes the punishment of any Indian committing the offense of murder within the boundaries of any state of the United States, and within the limits of any Indian reservation, according to the laws and before the tribunals of the United States. U. S. v. Kagama, 118 U.S. 375 , 6 Sup. Ct. 1109. The assertion of jurisdiction in the courts of the United States over the crime of mur- [164 U.S. 240, 242] der perpetrated by one not an Indian against one not an Indian is based on the fact that the offense was committed on an Indian reservation. The contention as to want of jurisdiction rests upon the proposition that, the Indian reservation being within the state, the courts of the state had alone cognizance of crimes therein done by other than Indians. To determine these conflicting contentions requires a brief examination of the legislation organizing the territory of Montana, and which provided for the admission of that state into the Union.
The territory of Montana was organized in 1864. 13 Stat. 85. Subsequently, in 1868, the Crow Indian reservation was created (15 Stat. 649), the land of which it was composed being wholly situated within the geographical boundaries of the territory of Montana. The treaty creating this reservation contained no stipulation restricting the power of the United States to include the land embraced within the reservation in any state or territory then existing, or which might thereafter be created. The law to enable Montana and other states to be admitted into the Union was passed in 1889. 25 Stat. 676. This act embraced the usual provisions for a convention to frame a constitution, for the adoption of an ordinance directed to contain certain specified agreements, and provided that, upon the compliance with the ordained requirements, and the proclamation of the president so announcing, the state should be admitted on an equal footing with the original states. The question then is, has the state of Montana jurisdiction over offenses committed within its geographical boundaries by persons not Indians, or against Indians, or did the enabling act deprive the courts of the state of such jurisdiction of all offenses committed on the Crow Indian reservation, thereby divesting the state, protanto, of equal authority any jurisdiction over its citizens usually enjoyed by the other states of the Union?
The words in the foregoing provisions upon which the argument is based are the following: 'And said Indian lands shall remain under the absolute jurisdiction and control of the congress of the United States.' This language has been considered in several cases in the courts of the United States with somewhat contradictory results. U. S. v. Ewing, 47 Fed. 809; U. S. v. Partello, 48 Fed. 670; Truscott v. Cattle Co., 19 C. C. A. 374, 73 Fed. 61.
As equality of statehood is the rule, the words relied on here to create an exception cannot be construed as doing so, if, by any reasonable meaning, they can be otherwise treated. [164 U.S. 240, 245] The mere reservation of jurisdiction and control by the United States of 'Indian lands' does not of necessity signify a retention of jurisdiction in the United States to punish all offenses committed on such lands by others than Indians or against Indians.
It is agrued that as the first portion of the section in which the language relied on is found disclaims all right and title of the state to 'the unappropriated public lands lying within the boundaries thereof and of all lands lying within said limits, owned or held by an Indian or Indian tribes, and until the title thereof shall be extinguished by the United States, the same shall be and remain subject to the disposition of the United States,' therefore the subsequent words, 'and said lands shall remain under the absolute jurisdiction and control of the United States,' are rendered purely tautological and meaningless, unless they signify something more than the reservation of authority of the United States over the lands themselves and the title thereto. This argument overlooks, not only the particular action of congress as to the Crow reservation, but also the state of the general law of the United States, as to Indian reservations, at the time of the admission of Montana into the Union.
On April 11, 1882 (22 State. 42), congress confirmed an agreement submitted by the Crow Indians for the sale of a portion of their reservation, and for the servey and division in severalty of the agricultural lands remaining in the reservation as thus reduced. The act, however, provided that the title to be acquired by the allottees was not to be subject to alienation, lease, or incumbrance, either by voluntary conveyance of the grantee or his heirs, or by the judgment, order, or decree of any court, but should remain inalienable, and be not subject to taxation, for the period of 25 years, and until such time thereafter as the president might see fit to remove the restriction.
The policy thus applied to the Crow reservation subsequently became the general method adopted by congress to deal with Indian reservations. In February, 1887, by a general law, congress provided 'for the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians on the various reservations, and to extend the protec- [164 U.S. 240, 246] tion of the laws of the United States and the territories over the Indians, and for other purposes.' 24 Stat. 388. The act in question contemplated the gradual extinction of Indian reservations and Indian titles by the allotment of such lands to the Indians in severalty. It provided in section 6 'that upon the completion of said allotments and the patenting of said lands to said allottees, each and every member of the respective bands or tribes of Indians to whom allotments have been made shall have the benefit of and be subject to the laws, both civil and criminal, of the state or territory in which they may reside.' But the act at the same time put limitations and restrictions upon the power of the Indians to sell, incumber, or deal with the lands thus to be allotted. Moreover, by section 4 of the act of 1887, Indians not residing on a reservation, or for whose tribe no reservation had been provided, were empowered to enter a designated quantity of unappropriated public land, and to have patents therefor; the right, however, of such Indian to sell or incumber being regulated by provisions like those controlling allotments in severalty of lands comprised within a reservation. From these enactments it clearly follows that at the time of the admission of Montana into the Union, and the use in the enabling act of the restrictive words here relied upon, there was a condition of things provided for by the statute law of the United States, and contemplated to arise, where the reservation of jurisdiction and control over the Indian lands would become essential to prevent any implication of the power of the state to frustrate the limitations imposed by the laws of the United States upon the title of lands once in an Indian reservation, but which had become extinct by allotment in severalty, and in which contingency the Indians themselves would have passed under the authority and control of the state.
It is also equally clear that the reservation of jurisdiction and control over the Indian lands was relevant to, and is explicable by, the provisions of section 4 of the act of 1887, which allowed nonreservation Indians to enter on, and take patents for, a certain designated quantity of public land. In- [164 U.S. 240, 247] deed, if the meaning of the words which reserved jurisdiction and control over Indian lands contended for by the defendant in error were true, then the state of Montana would not only be deprived of authority to punish offenses committed by her own citizens upon Indian reservations, but would also have like want of authority for all offenses committed by her own citizens upon such portion of the public domain, within her borders, as may have been appropriated and patented to an Indian under the terms of the act of 1887. The conclusion to which the contention leads is an efficient demonstration of its fallacy. It follows that a proper appreciation of the legislation as to Indians existing at the time of the passage of the enabling act by which the state of Montana was admitted into the Union adequately explains the use of the words relied upon, and demonstrates that, in reserving to the United States jurisdiction and control over Indian lands, it was not intended to deprive that state of power to punish for crimes committed on a reservation or Indian lands by other than Indians or against Indians, and that a consideration of the whole subject fully answers the argument that the language used in the enabling act becomes meaningless unless it be construed as depriving the state of authority to it belonging in virtue of its existence as an equal member of the Union. Of course, the construction of the enabling act here given is confined exclusively to the issue before us, and therefore involves in no way any of the questions fully reserved in U. S. v. McBratney, and which are also intended to be fully reserved here.
Our conclusion is that the circuit court of the United States for the District of Montana had no jurisdiction of the indictment, but, 'according to the practice heretofore adopted in like cases, should deliver up the prisoner to the authorities of the state of Montana to be dealt with according to law.' U. S. v. McBratney, supra, and authorities there cited.
The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for proceedings in conformity to this opinion.

Prep sports won't start until winter
Written by Los Altos Town Crier Report
The California Interscholastic Federation, which governs the state's high school sports, announced Monday morning that the fall athletic season won't begin until December or January because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Football, girls volleyball, water polo, cross-country and field hockey will move to the winter season, according to a CIF press release, while girls tennis and girls golf will be delayed until the spring.
All of the winter sports and a few spring sports are also impacted by the changes. The CIF is moving basketball, soccer and wrestling – traditionally winter sports – to the spring. Boys volleyball and gymnastics will compete in the winter instead of the spring.
State playoffs will end no later than April 17 for the sports playing in the winter and June 26 for those competing in the spring, the release stated.
Each section in the CIF will determine the start and end dates for each sport and the section playoff schedules, the release noted.
The Central Coast Section, which oversees high school athletics in the Town Crier's coverage area, was expected to reveal its revamped 2020-21 calendar after the Town Crier's press deadline. The Town Crier will report on this in next week's issue.

I know this is a tricky one because since CDs have come onto the scene album covers aren't quite the same as they were in the days of vinyl but..................
The artwork is still good and people must have favourites.
For the record I love Roger Dean's artwork especially "Tales from Topographic Oceans". I use it as my wallpaper and have a print of it up in my living room. Love to look at it from time to time.
The most interesting idea though, for me, was Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick". That newspaper idea was brilliant and was a good read too. Did anyone join the dots to see what Fluffy the duck was looking at? Naughty boys!!!!!!!
Any other faves out there?

There are so many so great, that's hard to choose, here my favourites:
1.- A Trick of the Tail (Only old LP format): Each drawing represents one song from the album, seem as engravings from late 1800's. But there's something special for those who have the LP, the inner sleeve has the same drawings, but in a diferent mood. In the cover everything is magic and happy, the squonk is free, the children are playing, the old witch looks at the mirror and appears as a young lady, but in the inner (paper) sleeve, the magic is gone, the Squonk is captured by the hunter, the children are sad, also the witch looks at the mirror and sees her ugly reflex instead of the girl. Very poetic, even if the music is not my favourite.
2.- Yessongs: A great collection of great paintings by Roger Dean.
3.- Long Distance Voyager (Moody Blues): Somehow similar to ATOTT, also you can find some references to the songs in the art. The blue collor gives an old aspect.
4.- Point of Know Return (Vynil version): The inner sleeve is great also, like an old captain's log.
5.- Illusins on a Double Dimple (Triumvirat): Great picture of the mouse inside the light bulb, simple but effective.
Rick and Roll
Pleasure Signals. Both guys standing on pictures of two naked women using semaphore (sp?). And a killer record to boot!
The Seventh Son of A Seventh Son (Iron Maiden) record has all of the previous "Eddies" in ice. Very cool idea. Sort of like the Trick Of The Tail idea (a good choice).
No votes for "Smell The Glove"?
Here are my picks:
1. Dark Side of the Moon - Come on, what's more iconic than the classic prism on the original LP cover. It's been redone 4 time since the original, but that one version still stands as a classic, instantle recognizable work of pop-art.
2. Brain Salad Surgery - Yet another iconic piece by one screwed up weirdo. H.R. Geiger was asked to airbrush out the penis that stuck up below the woman's chin (geiger's wife). Both this and Tarkus are ELP's signature sleeves of the 70s. Unfortunately, the original sleeve (which swung open in panels) hasn't been completely resurrected, but at least the cd version has a motion device that lets you into a bit of the original.
3. In The Court Of The Crimson King - What other album cover screams (literally) to be picked up and listens to? The artist thatpainted it, Barry Godber, died before he was able to pain another Crimson album cover.
Bob Lentil
<-- Rush's Grace Under Pressure is one of my favorites.
I'm partial to Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti as well. It's fun looking in all the little windows.
Do you mean Smell the Glove before or after it was censored?
Didn't even think about before and after - I was just commenting on the totally black album cover.
Now that there are a few posts, it is interesting how the album cover used to be a big deal before CD's. There were so many good ones.
About three years ago, after I won an important case (and had some cash), I bought a set of original Roger Dean engravings very cheap (about 200 bucks on E-Bay).
This year I tried to buy some more, but the guy has gone crazy, above US$ 1,000.00 for each one. Those are not even paintings, with only one press you can do thousands of engravings.
But sure are beutiful.
Abbey Road (the Beatles) - no printed words needed on this cover
Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
Union (Yes)
Keys to Ascencion (Yes)
Infinity (Journey)
Five Miles Out (Mike Oldfield)
Mare Vitalis (the Appleseed Cast)
Full House: Live at the Tsubu (Wes Montogery)
Faith Hope Love (King's X)
King's X (King's X)
Out of the Silent Planet (King's X)
At the moment "The Strawbs" track 'Autumn' is playing.
I'd forgotten what a lovely picture is on that album cover.
Hero and Heroine is also a really good album as well as a great cover.
BoogieBoy
.... Crash Landing (Jimi Hendrix)
It's even better than 'Down To Margate' (Chaz & Dave)

Mentone Girls' Grammar School [CASE STUDY]
Congratulations to our valued client, Mentone Girls' Grammar School and Roslyn Holloway, who recently won the Excellence Award under the Capital Campaign or Major Gifts Program or Bequests category. This well-deserved award recognised the quality of Mentone Girls' $1 million capital campaign.
AskRIGHT Senior Consultant Jeff Buchanan provided counsel throughout the campaign.
Roslyn Holloway, Advancement Manager
In June 2018, Mentone Girls' Grammar School (MGGS) achieved its biggest ever Capital Campaign result, passing its $1M target for the build of a Wellbeing Precinct, comprising a new aquatic centre and outdoor playing fields.
This was a historic achievement for our school community. Records showed that the only previous significant campaign occurred in the early 1990s, raising funds for an Arts Centre. Until recent years, philanthropy had been sporadic.
This achievement is the product of sufficient investment, good fundraising practice and a great deal of hard work over several years.
I have now lived through the important experience of how a girls' school can invest properly in fundraising and key people can apply themselves to good practice and the disciplined execution of a campaign plan.
The leadership from our Principal and the involvement of our Council and Foundation directors, other staff and key volunteers have all been crucial in achieving this wonderful outcome. A few years ago, our Principal, Mrs Fran Reddan invested in her own learning and understanding of philanthropy with visits to institutions in the UK. She was able to talk with key people about any aspect of their programs and discuss these with other fundraisers and leaders who were also on the journey to improving their programs. This gave some perspective about campaigns and the possibilities for our context.
I commenced at Mentone in my role as Advancement Manager in 2015. I worked closely with our Principal, Foundation directors and a growing number of key donors to firstly explore the potential interest in key projects that we had planned for Mentone. This work steadily built better relationships and identified a broad range of donor interests that we could consider. At the same time, I began a process of improving our annual appeal, bequest program and other elements of our fundraising program. We were delighted to discover that we had a family that had the capacity and willingness to donate and we used this to build a campaign plan around their gift commitment.
This gave us a great start to secure other significant gifts and position our 2017 campaign launch as a highly motivational statement to our school community. Our Principal was able to announce a target of $1 million but also declare that close to $700,000 had been donated or pledged in other support, leaving our community with various ways to rally and raise the remaining $300,000.
To be clear, that is the short version! We certainly had our fair share of challenges along the way as we educated our community about philanthropy and worked with our campaign plan.
I often hear comments in the debate about fundraising around girls' schools not raising as much as boys' schools'. I still wonder whether gender plays a role in the success of fundraising. Historically, I believe it has been easier for boys' schools to fundraise. However, my experience with this campaign has proven it really is possible to fundraise really successfully in a girls' school. Success is a product of the investment, effort and best practice pursued by key people at the school. Our success can be traced back to a number of key elements that began with our Principal's leadership and the increasing determination of a growing number of key people to develop and execute the right plan for our school.
To summarise I think that our success has had the following key ingredients:
Principal's leadership and learning about fundraising.
Training of staff and volunteers – staff and volunteers attended group training. I participated in training provided by EducatePlus and our School and Foundation commissioned additional training, strategic advice and coaching. Online learning (eg. webinars) was useful here.
Leadership – our Principal, Foundation Chairman and others were determined to approach the task in a systematic way.
An honest appraisal of our situation – we took the time to understand our current readiness and then identified and implemented the actions steps required to move forward
Exploration of possibilities – we did not assume what donors were interested in, but rather we went and spoke directly to them, identifying our best opportunities in the process
Investment – our Principal and others sought advice and put good resources into the fundraising program and campaign
Executed that plan with discipline and persistence – we stuck to our plan, even in the challenging moments
At Mentone Girls' Grammar School, we have learnt so much from this project and our community now has had a very comprehensive and positive experience of a record-breaking campaign. I look forward to our future because we now have a good base on which we can build and more donor interests that we can explore.
The School was delighted to win the Award for Excellence in the Capital Campaign, Major Gifts and Bequests category at the International EducatePlus Conference in September 2018.

I think frustrated, maybe even angry is a good way to describe my mindset when it comes to reading. Of the last 11 books I've read, I've only been able to get into one, The Red Knight. I'm waiting for that one book that will offer me a character and story that I can't put down. Because of this frustration and search for something to love, I'm not going to keep reading a book that hasn't grabbed me a quarter of the way into it. Therefore, I don't have any reviews of books I've completed, but I will supply the two I stopped reading this week and my reasons for it. Now, keep in mind that my desire to find a character that I can't stop reading has lessoned my patience for tolerating a book, even if it has a good story. I'm dying for a good character driven book and until I find it, nothing is safe. Due to my finicky mood and because I didn't finish these, I'm not writing a review on Goodreads or Amazon. There might be something amazing in the later parts of these books and I don't think it's right that I judge so quickly and blast the book for it. Below is just merely my thoughts and reasons why I didn't continue. As for what's next? Well, I've got to go through my to-read list and see what strikes my interests. Hopefully I can find a book to pull me out of my slump.
I have a poor eye for editing. My mother will read a book and rant on about the number of errors she finds. I'll read it and if I'm lucky, I'll find one of the million she discovered. That being said, this book was stocked full of errors that actually made me lose focus. I had to reread sentences due to horribly poor comma usage, structure, and context. There might have been a good story in there, possibly a character I would've come to like. I just didn't have the patience to trudge through the errors. If ever this book was edited and republished, I might give it a go again.
This came down to purely my lack of interest. I didn't get far, but early on I didn't care and my frustration had already peaked beyond rational that I just couldn't get into this book. As with the last ones I read, I felt so distant from the character and I knew by the direction the book was heading that nothing would change for me. Keep in mind, this book has 20 ratings averaging 4.55 stars, so it's resonating with quite a few readers.
I wouldn't take my opinion to heart when deciding if you want to read these two books. Sadly, I'm just a reader who has ran out of patience. There could be a few prospects that get trampled in my search for the immediately fulfilling, for that character that hooks me with his/her first words.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri officials announced today that members of the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation, a long-time benefactor of the Mizzou New Music Initiative at the School of Music, are giving $2.5 million to help continue the program over the next three years. The funds will help support graduate student assistantships, provide two full-tuition scholarships annually, send student composers to the Missouri International Composers festival and also help support faculty and staff within the program. In addition, MU will match the $300,000 portion designated for undergraduate student scholarships, for a grand total of $600,000.
This event marks a decade since the creation of the Mizzou New Music Initiative, which aims to support aspiring student composers who wish to pursue a career as a professional musician. Since its inception, the New Music Initiative has paved the way for student composers to succeed.
The Mizzou New Music Initiative is housed within the School of Music in the College of Arts and Science. The School of Music aims to prepare students to make meaningful contributions to the world as performers, composers, teachers and scholars.
The Sinquefield Charitable Foundation has supported several School of Music initiatives over the years, including the Sinquefield Composition Prize, an annual competition for students where the winner is given the chance to write an original work for performance by the University Philharmonic. Opportunities like these have attracted strong student composers to the university.

It is a curious paradox that even the most materialist of us tend to value what might be called the useless above the useful. Useless not in the sense of being without purpose, but without utility, or not much of it. […] Usefulness is inversely proportional to status. The more useless an object is, the more highly valued it will be. High-status utility is confined to such baroque elaborations of conspicuously redundant utility capacity as the wristwatch supposedly designed for use by divers […] or the grossly overspecified SUV.
This description is shamingly acute. My favourite handbag is a wee pretty one that only holds a key and a lipstick, and has to be constantly clutched by the tiny handle. My best watch doesn't have any numbers on its miniature face. I have a terrible addiction to copies of McSweeney's which spread out in unwieldy directions, spill mini-mags everywhere, and are actually pretty hard to read. Luckily, Sudjic is just as susceptible to the wiles of objects, and tells a reassuring story of his seduction by a MacBook near the start of The Language Of Things. Playfulness and ingenuity in objects aren't universally bad – my handbag, my watch and my McSweeney's are all witty and lovely things. But it's curious that I'm not equally impressed by sturdy and capacious bags, watches with digits or the basic marvel of the paperback.
Design – the polish that convinces you to buy one thing rather than another, the copyright-protected detail that identifies a desirable brand – is critical to consumer culture. But good design – the "brilliant synthesis of structure and mechanism" which Sudjic identifies in the anglepoise lamp and the French wine bottle – is less so. A well-designed product will last, will replace similar products, and exempt the purchaser from being a consumer for the life of the object.
And it's the useless that gets treasured. The examples of design which make it into the Museum Of Modern Art in New York are divorced from the context of their function: "whether consciously or not", says Sudjic, "[MOMA] is doing its best to suggest that design is just as useless as art, and therefore almost as valuable." In the end, Sudjic argues that the artistic aspirations of designers is changing the ideology of design, and will "fuel what may be a short lived explosion of flamboyant new work." It's clear that he doesn't think this will be especially good for design or for consumers.
nice to meet you and I'm enjoy to read your articles…….. especially for the suitcase, uuuhhh so sweet……..

How I got started in pottery.
When I was a kid I lived in Chicago. One of our family traditions was to go downtown to the "Loop" before Christmas to look at the Christmas decorations. At that time Marshall Field's was one of the biggest and fanciest department stores in town. They also had a huge toy department. As a young boy this was a very important stop for me on these excursions. The toy department was on the fourth floor of the store and we would take the escalator up to the fourth floor. One year when I was only about 7 or 8 years old there happened to be a potter from the Haeger Pottery doing demonstrations right where you changed escalators between floors. I was mesmerized. My mother had a hard time getting me to leave the demonstration and had to bring me back one more time to watch him after our visit to the toy department. I forgot about this until I went to college.
When I signed up for pottery as an elective in college it was with the intent to kill a humanities requirement, and because it looked like fun. I didn't remember my trip to Marshall Field's as a young boy until my mother reminded me of it. I had no idea at that time that I was taking the first steps upon a road that would become a lifetimes journey. That was in 1972.
I still look forward to getting into the studio today to play with the clay. I guess some kids just won't grow up.

Poll – Majority of White, Black, and Hispanic Americans: U.S. Needs Stricter Immigration Enforcement
John Binder
4 Jul 2018 New York City, NY
The majority of white, black, and Hispanic Americans agree that the United States needs stricter enforcement of its immigration laws, a new poll finds.
In the latest Harvard/Harris Poll, 77 percent of white voters, 53 percent of black voters, and 51 percent of Hispanic voters said they believe the U.S. needs to crack down on immigration laws.
Overall, 70 percent of Americans said the U.S. needs stricter immigration enforcement, not looser enforcement as Democrats and the Republican establishment has pushed for.
In recent weeks, Democrats in the House and Senate, along with progressive liberals like Cynthia Nixon in New York and most recently insurgent Democrat candidate for Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been demanding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency — tasked with deporting illegal aliens — be abolished and all immigration enforcement be ended. House Democrats are now crafting legislation that would officially abolish ICE.
Abolishing ICE, as Breitbart News reported, would have allowed more than 1.6 million illegal aliens to have gone free throughout the U.S. in the last five years. Nearly 60 percent of Democrat voters say they do not want ICE abolished, while about 3-in-4 swing voters say the same.
"Nearly 60 percent of Democrats said they do not want ICE to be disbanded. Abolishing the deportation agency would have allowed more than 1.6 million illegal aliens to have gone free throughout the U.S. in the last five years." https://t.co/SIqQRrbIw3

Last month, every Senate Democrat signed onto the "Keep Families Together Act" which would have ended all immigration and border enforcement across the U.S., as Breitbart News reported.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), at the time, called the Senate Democrats' plan "the Child Trafficking Encouragement Act," saying it would lead to children being "abducted & sold to drug cartels & slave-traders as a free ticket into U.S."
Likewise, thirteen Republican Senators also demanded that President Trump end all border and immigration enforcement until Congress passed legislation that would ban illegal alien adults arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border from being separated from the children they crossed into the country with.
Breitbart News compiled a list of those Republican Senators.
Americans overwhelmingly support ending illegal immigration and reducing legal immigration levels, at which more than 1.5 million immigrants are admitted to the U.S. every year. The majority of swing voters say they oppose importing more foreign workers to compete against Americans for jobs.
Meanwhile, nearly two out of three Americans say they support reducing legal immigration, and more Americans support zero immigration to the U.S. than current legal immigration levels. More than four in nine in black Americans in swing districts across the country say immigration has made life "worse" in America.

A new summer inspired collection is now available in limited quantities!
Sketchbook drawings are where I work my ideas out and expand on concepts.
The summer of 2018, after working heavily in large format acrylics and really exploring my style, I came up with these graphic wild flower paintings in watercolor and ink. I adore each one, and feel so much emotion behind them all. I will be branching out to other mediums in my next collection.
Amanda lives in Northern Illinois with her family making art. She draws from her graphic design background, and loves the feel of paint hitting the paper and canvas. Contact her with any commission inquiries.


Jesus is on a mission.
He is on a grand adventure to redeem and restore human lives to the kingdom of his Father. This is nothing new. Ever since he broke out of the tomb on Easter Sunday, Jesus has been on the loose, pursuing his redemptive mission, messing with people, ripening people, preparing people to be drawn back to the Father he loves. It's what he does.
And he's on the move in your neighborhood, too.
Obviously the "neighborhoods" where we live qualify, and so do the "neighborhoods" of our workplaces and schools. We are regularly within reach of the same people. But there are many other "neighborhoods" in which we regularly find ourselves. For instance, some of us have access to recreation leagues, yoga classes or craft beer clubs. Some of us are band parents, soccer moms or routinely wait with other dads as our daughters finish up dance classes. Some of us volunteer with community revitalization groups or social service agencies. Some of us are Chamber members or Rotary Club members. Some of us are at country clubs, community centers or the Y. All of these are examples of "neighborhoods" in which we may find ourselves. Take a moment to list the "neighborhoods" to which you have access.
Now, here's some important news: Jesus is on the loose in all of them.
So wherever you go, whether to the ends of the earth or just to work, if there are people there, you can be sure Jesus is up to something redemptively. His purpose is to redeem. His goal is full restoration. This is what Jesus does. He doesn't get distracted. He doesn't veer off course. His timing is always precise because his redemptive mission is always what he's up to. Different people. Different timing. Different stories and pathways. Sure. But this is what he is up to all the time.
There is, of course, much mystery in how Jesus works out his plan in each person's life. Some people are resisting, some are ignoring, some are oblivious, and some are almost ready. But Jesus is in the redemptive process of uniquely preparing each of them to receive what the Father would freely give them: forgiveness of sins and a new life with him forever.
And he invites us to join him.
This is an important change in mindset for most U.S. church members: Jesus is inviting me to join him on his mission. He does not give me a mission to do FOR him. Jesus is on a mission and he invites me to come WITH him.
The first time I realized Jesus was inviting me to come WITH him and not go FOR him was a great relief. If I go FOR Jesus, I am doing the work and seeing the results of what I can accomplish. When I go WITH Jesus, he is doing the work and I am seeing the results of what Jesus can accomplish. One is hard the other is fun. One is exhausting the other is energizing. One causes me to worry ("Did I do everything correctly?") the other causes me to be at peace ("Let's see what Jesus does next."). One tempts me to force things with people the other invites me to keep loving people.
So, for years, when I thought of myself as being in mission, I had it in my head that Jesus was sending me off FOR him … on my own … to do the best I could … which I knew would not be very good at all. I was afraid people would reject me or I wouldn't know what to say or, worse, I would say something and botch the whole deal for Jesus. What a burden! Can you relate? But I had it precisely backwards. Jesus wasn't sending me out to do his work FOR him, he was inviting me to come WITH him and join the work he was already doing.
What a relief! You see, only Jesus can do Jesus-work. So let him. Someone once told me, "I can't. Jesus can. Think I'll let him." Our job isn't to try and do Jesus' work FOR him. Our job is to watch for, recognize and then respond to the work Jesus is already doing in the lives of people around us and JOIN him.
This is our new missional mindset.
Over the next few weeks, we'll find out how.

Your client is charged with violating section 1192(3) of the NY Vehicle and Traffic Law. known in some places as a:DWI refusal" or a "common Law DWI"; albeit there is no chemical test, and the evidence will boil down to police observations to prove intoxication.
Assume for purposes of this article that our client has a prior (usually the case in refusals) so there is no offer. Lets assume further that our judge seems unsympathetic to our client's cause and the likelihood of an 1192(1) judgement after a bench trial are slim. So, onward we march to a jury trial of the matter.
"Physical and mental abilities... ." are the buzzwords you will be incorporating into your cross of the arresting officer.
Let's assume the usual direct testimony from the arresting officer, wherein he gives all the standard indicia of intoxication: swerving, bloodshot eyes, alcohol on the breath, unsteady on his feet, failed all the FSTs miserably.
You: Sir you observed Johnny drive past you, Yes?
You: You pulled out after him, True?
You: You activated your overheads, Correct?
You: and Johnny pulled over, Yes?
You: So at that point he had the mental ability to recognize you were stopping him,Correct Sir?
You: And the physical ability to pull the vehicle over, Yes?
You: You approached Johnny's vehicle?
You: And requested him to produce license and registration, Correct?
You: So he had the mental ability to understand that request, Correct Sir?
You: And he had the physical ability to find produce and hand you those documents, Isn't that true as well??
What just happened? 'And it was going so well!' you think to yourself. Now what do I do?
Don't despair. What just happened is that our arresting officer just deviated from our script and is heading down the dark and lonely road of embellishing his observations of intoxication.
It is a dark and lonely road because you always follow the cardinal rule of cross; 'never ask a question you don't know the answer to'. In reality, that rule should be 'never ask a question you don't know what the answer to should be'.
You: So your testimony NOW is that it took 'a long time' for him to find his documents?
You: And that he 'kept dropping his license'?
Cop: Yes Sir, he did.
You: Sir, you have training in how to complete the necessary documents pursuant to a DWI arrest correct?
You: In fact you were trained at the police academy on how complete the necessary documents Yes?
You: Did they train you to be accurate?
You Did they train you to be complete?
You: Did they train you to be honest?
You: I'm handing you whats been marked State Exhibit A for ID purposes do you recognize it Sir?
Cop: It is the arrest report I prepared for this case.
You: And you completed that over a year and a half ago Yes?
You: Contemporaneously with the events of the night in question correct?
You: And at the time you prepared it you were trying to be accurate?
You: You were trying to be complete?
You: And You were trying to be honest?
You: So that's a Yes?
You: Can you please tell the jury where in that arrest report it says that Johnny took a long time to produce his license and registration?
Cop: It doesn't say it anywhere.
You: I see. And would you please indicate where in the arrest report it states he kept dropping his license.
Cop: It does not say that either.
You can repeat this process again with his field notes, the misdemeanor information itself or his grand jury testimony (if the case is a felony) to really pound your point home.
In addition, point out through your cross exam the physical ability to operate at a safe speed, safely park the car, exit the car, stand in the roadway, walk without assistance, and walk while handcuffed behind his back. Of course you will incorporate each physical task into your cross as the facts of the case allow.
Point out through you cross exam the mental ability to follow instructions, comply with orders, give pedigree info, dial a phone, and carry on a conversation. Again look at the facts and take what they give you.
The law is whether Johnny had the physical and mental capabilities to safely operate the motor vehicle on the night in question. And then reiterate all of the evidence to support that he did.
If you follow these techniques of incorporating the key buzzwords of the PJI into your case through cross of the arresting officer, and using negative impeachment to battle embellishment, you should be returning NOT GUILTY verdicts on a regular basis with these types of cases.

Q: how to set custom cursors in CreateJs? how can i show custom cursors in createjs ? I have multiple images/bitmaps rendered on the canvas. I want the cursor to change to a specific image whenever I click on a particular bitmap. ie on clicking image no.1 the cursor will change to an image of a paint brush on clicking image 2 the cursor will change to a bomb and so on.

A: You will have to hide the native cursor, you can do so with:
// this property delegates to the css-style, so it might not work in all (older) browsers
stage.cursor = 'none';

But be aware that some (older) browsers may not allow you to hide the cursor.
After hiding the cursor you then have to create some Bitmap or Shape and place it on the stage and always update its' position to the mouse-position.
You can get the Mouse-Position via: http://www.createjs.com/Docs/EaselJS/classes/Stage.html#property_mouseX
myCursor.x = stage.mouseX;
myCursor.y = stage.mouseY;
// ...and don't forget to update the stage

Hint: Some browsers may allow you directly set an image as the cursor by defining an url in CSS, however this is not very widely supported, but you might try it and see if it suits your needs, if you are interested you can take a look here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor/url

Here Are Unforgettable Words of Advice That Rappers Took From Their Fathers
Kemet High
Parenthood is the most underpaid job in the world. From the second a baby is born, a minimum 18-year contract with the likelihood of renewal is applied to our guardians. No matter how much money we give back to them or how many vacations we take them on, nothing can fully show how appreciative we are for the people who raised us, whether it's through a blood or soul connection.
As we all grow older, we're in a constant state of reflection, looking back at the vital experiences and words of wisdom that shaped who we are today. In rap, mothers of course get their rightful nod for their unwavering support. But as do fathers, often coming in the form of quick, life-changing advice that rappers constantly bring up on their songs.
On Drake's "4PM in Calabasas," he looks back at the time his dad, Dennis Graham, told him to sing and rap, suggesting that the 6 God could be successful doing both. Juice Wrld's "Robbery" recalls the moment where Juice's father, who passed away last year, told him to protect his insecurities when it comes to women. On "Crack Baby," Ice Cube appreciates the go-getter mentality instilled by his begetter. And Denzel Curry raps about how his pop stressed treating women with respect and trusting wisely, mentioned on the chorus of "Ricky."
There's a janitor ring of keys that everyone's genitor has dropped off over the years. So to celebrate Father's Day (June 21), XXL spotlights some unforgettable advice that rappers took from their old men. Trust and believe, it's always appreciated.
