Rustic Beefsteak Tomato Tart
I just made this for a luncheon last week and it was a real hit. Little time consuming but I made it the day before so only had to pop into oven.
Rustic Beefsteak Tomato Tart From Finecooking.com Ruth Lively
This freeform tomato tart makes a great appetizer, lunch, or light supper. Use the best-tasting, locally grown paste tomatoes you can lay hands on.Serves eight to ten.
For the crust:
9 oz. (2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/2 oz.)
1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme
1/4 tsp. table salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground cayenne
5-1/2 oz. (11 Tbs.) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 to 6 Tbs. ice water
For the filling:
1-1/2 lb. ripe paste-type tomatoes (low moisture)
Kosher salt
1-1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 3 oz.)
4 Tbs. roughly chopped pitted oil-cured black olives or Kalamata olives
12 large basil leaves, thinly sliced
2 tsp. capers, drained and patted dry, roughly chopped if large
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Prepare the crust and tomatoes:
Combine the flour, cheese, thyme, table salt, pepper, and cayenne in a food processor and pulse to blend thoroughly. Add the butter and pulse until the pieces are about the size of rice grains. Add the ice water through the feed tube, 1 Tbs. at a time, while pulsing in short bursts until the dough starts to come together. It may still look crumbly, but if you press it with your fingers, it should become compact. Dont add more water than is necessary to get the dough to cling together. Turn it out onto a clean work surface and, using your hands, press and gather the dough into a rough ball. Put the ball on a sheet of waxed paper, gently shape it into a flat disk, and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 45 min.
Meanwhile, core (but dont peel) the tomatoes and slice them 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, stack them in a colander set over a bowl, and let drain for at least 45 min. and up to 1 hour. About every 15 min., turn the slices gently and tilt the colander to let the juices drain freely.
Assemble and bake:
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425ºF. Cut a piece of parchment to fit a rimmed baking sheet (preferably a heavy-duty one) and put the baking sheet in the freezer to chill. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it warm until pliable, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the parchment lightly with flour. Roll the dough on the parchment into a 14-inch round thats 1/8 inch thick. Its fine if the dough extends a little beyond the parchment. Transfer the parchment and dough to the chilled baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 min.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 min. to keep it from cracking. When filling the dough, work steadily without delays. Sprinkle two-thirds of the cheese over the center of the dough round, leaving a 2-inch-wide band around the edges. Scatter half the olives and half the basil over the cheese and arrange the tomato slices on top so they overlap slightly, making a solid layer. Sprinkle on the remaining basil and olives, the capers, and the rest of the cheese. Season with pepper and drizzle the olive oil over the filling. Fold the edges of the pastry over the edge of the filling, pleating it as you go so it forms a neatly fitting round edge. Bake until the dough is lightly browned, turning the pan halfway through baking, about 40 min. total. Carefully transfer the tart from the parchment to a rack and let it rest for at least 30 min. before cutting and serving.
Leftovers keep well at room temperature for a day or two. Reheat for 10 to 15 min. at 350ºF

The annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is historically focused on basic – or laboratory research.
Research has consistently shown a link between obesity and increased breast cancer risk. In a recently published study presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, BCRF investigator Dr.
Staying active is essential to lowering one's risk of developing breast cancer. In fact, obesity has been identified as a major risk factor for not only breast cancer, but for many cancers.
Move to Cure is a new opportunity for leaders in the fitness community to use their platform to raise critical funds for cancer research while educating women about breast health.
Our modern, busy lifestyles can often cause us to let our health fall to the wayside. Eating right, exercising regularly and watching our weight end up becoming less of a priority, and we put ourselves at risk of obesity and the health consequences that come with it.
In honor of National Healthy Eating Day, Dr. Clifford Hudis clarifies the link between obesity and breast cancer while sharing BCRF research focused on addressing this public health concern.
Every October, our 200+ grantees from all over the world come together to take part in a conversation about the current landscape of breast cancer research during our annual Symposium and Awards Luncheon.

Regional Plan Association testimony before the New York City Planning Commission on December 16, 2015, in support of the Zoning for Quality and Affordability and Mandatory Inclusionary Housing zoning text amendments
Christopher Jones, vice president for research & Pierina Ana Sanchez, associate planner for New York
Good morning, my name is Christopher Jones and I am Vice President for Research at Regional Plan Association, which aims to improve the New York metropolitan region's economic health, environmental sustainability and quality of life through research, planning and advocacy.
Both zoning text amendments under consideration are critical to the goal of expanding New York City's supply of affordable housing while improving quality of life in neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs. The Zoning for Quality and Affordability and Mandatory Inclusionary Housing proposals strive to strike a balance between these two imperatives. However, the input from residents, community boards, civic organizations and elected officials throughout the review process has highlighted a number of ways in which these actions could be improved and that the commission should address prior to approving the amendments.
The reasons for these zoning changes are sound and compelling. We can't address the city's large and growing need for affordable housing without revising outdated zoning guidelines or insuring that new construction includes housing for a wide range of incomes.
We also have a growing city that needs to find ways to welcome new residents — the children of existing residents, a rapidly expanding senior population, immigrants who renew the city's vitality, and young adults who are increasingly drawn to dynamic cities like New York. For the New York metropolitan region as a whole including the counties surrounding the five boroughs, we could see demand for nearly four million additional people who want to live here by 2040. Because New York City will get a significant portion of this growth, housing pressures for families and individuals at different income levels will only continue to increase if we don't increase housing production to meet demand. These proposals could also help the city by providing a template for equitable development in areas throughout the region, helping relieve housing pressures in the city while reviving stagnating suburban economies.
But building enough housing is only the start. Creating mixed-income neighborhoods with a high quality of life will require a range of actions, from preserving existing affordable housing and preventing harassment and displacement of existing residents to providing the necessary transit, schools, parks and other infrastructure. In fact, as these zoning changes are implemented, it will be essential to simultaneously implement the neighborhood and infrastructure improvements needed to improve quality of life for both existing and new residents.
The two amendments are important parts of this larger set of actions, and with further changes could be even stronger.
Zoning for Quality and Affordability (ZQA) includes incremental, practical changes to outdated code that would help the city create new affordable housing and mixed-use development through more flexible design, modest height increases in limited situations, and lower parking requirements in areas well-served by transit. Among its most positive features are policies that will make it easier to provide more affordable housing and affordable senior housing and care facilities, encourage more vibrant streets and quality retail space, and reduce parking requirements in areas with low car ownership levels. The amendments would not prevent developers from putting in additional parking if the market demands it, but would lessen restrictions that overestimate need and substantially raise the cost of development.
While the changes included in ZQA are modest, the provision as a whole is complex. The comments from community board and public officials indicate a legitimate need for City Planning to more fully explain how the changes would affect individual communities, and particularly how ZQA will work in tandem with Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning, proposed neighborhood rezonings and related city initiatives. Among the changes that have been recommended, two warrant particular consideration:
- The text should make clear that the additional bulk allowed for senior housing would be made permanently affordable. This is consistent with the intent of the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing proposal and a basic tenet of the administration's housing policies.
- The lower parking requirements could be refined with a further analysis of origin-destination patterns and actual transit use. It may be possible to go even further in some communities, while others may be found to be inadequately served.
Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) presents an ambitious approach to private market participation in the supply of permanent affordable housing. If adopted, MIH would be the most rigorous inclusionary housing requirement in any major U.S. city. The challenge is how to shape a program that works in vastly different market contexts and that supports the larger policy goal of creating mixed-income neighborhoods. It's important to recognize that MIH is only one tool to address the city's affordable housing needs, and can only work where there is a private market to support new development. The text could be improved to address the needs of the more than 40% of New York households earn less than 60% of the region's average median income:
- The City should clarify how it proposes to combine MIH requirements with existing affordable housing incentives such as 421a and LIHTC to achieve deeper levels of affordability.
- Additional options should be added to the three MIH options in the amendment to permit deeper levels of affordability and address a wider range of market conditions. This will also help achieve an equitable city with a wide variety of mixed-income, livable neighborhoods, including currently middle- and upper-income neighborhoods.
- The amendments should do more to encourage onsite rather than offsite affordable housing. While offsite housing may in many cases be more economical to build, it comes at a cost. It is less likely to be close to transit, good schools and economic opportunities, and often is less well-maintained than units that are physically part of the market rate developments.
We urge the Planning Commission to amend and approve both zoning text amendments, which are vital to the city's larger goal of providing livable, affordable neighborhoods for its growing population.

Thanks to pop media culture, many of us are aware that Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has undergone a few turbulent years with interventions for her reform. During her most recent community service in Brooklyn, Lindsay was carrying a copy of the Holy Quran translation by Ahmadi Muslim Scholar Maulawi Sher Ali.
The photo went viral and there was conjecture as to whether or not Lindsay, who was raised Catholic, is converting to Islam. While much speculation was given on the matter, the answer is no. Ms. Lohan defines herself as spiritual and in the past has tried many different concepts of different religions. She currently has embarked on an "emotional detox from alcohol and dating" and perhaps the Quran is helping her with this process.
While the Quran is the central holy book of Islam, its scripture is not limited to Muslims alone. Based on the recognition Lindsay received from holding the Quran further understanding is needed as to why a non-Muslim would consider the Quran for spiritual guidance.
Lindsay Lohan finds peace in reading Quran… If she is reverting to Islam…. May Allah guide her Ameen pic.twitter.com/FPIrYNy33D
— Anum Chaudhary (@DocAnum) May 15, 2015
The Quran incorporates the religious teachings before its revelation and expands further upon them. By studying the Quran one could assume that perhaps Lindsay realizes its universal application. The Quran was revealed over 23 years to the Prophet Muhammad and is revered by Muslims as the direct word of God. This Holy Book, similar to others before it, is meant to help guide humanity in their spiritual and moral development. The teachings are also meant to establish social order and contains more "do's than don't's" in its 114 chapters.
The first chapter, titled Al Fatiha, is the most recited chapter in the world memorized by the vast majority of Muslims. One would assume that the Prophet Muhammad would be the most mentioned name in the Quran, but in fact this distinction is given to the Prophet Moses who is mentioned 150 times. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad is mentioned only four times while Jesus is mentioned 28 times and his mother Mary 31 times. The Quran is a source of knowledge and provides prayers that can be recited for its readers.
Lindsay recently posted two prayers from the Quran regarding knowledge on her Instagram account stating "O My Lord increase me in my knowledge" and "O Allah I ask you of knowledge that is of benefit." She has cited these verses correctly and while no alterations in the Quran's original Arabic scripture have transpired in its 1500 years of existence, translations at times can be misinterpreted.
Fortunately Lindsay holds a reputable translation of the Quran that has been praised to be very scholarly work by the Maulawi Sher Ali. This particular Quranic translation allows the reader to easily absorb the peaceful teachings and wisdom within its verses thanks to reformist teachings of the Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founder of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Billions of Muslims follow the peaceful interpretation of the Quran, which is one that portrays peace and submission to the will of God and this may be what is attractive to non-Muslims like Lindsay. And while simply reading the Quran does not make anyone a Muslim, studying the most memorized book in the world could be just what Lindsay needs to help her transition to a balanced sense of spirituality.

In her third trimester, Aimee Garrison finally became convinced the soreness and tension across her shoulder blades and into her back had to be more than just part of being pregnant.
"I had been running and lifting weights all the way up to 26 weeks," the marathoner from Kalamazoo says, "so I slowed down, but it didn't get better. Soon I was having trouble sleeping and keeping up with my toddler."
Eventually, an MRI revealed Aimee was one of the less than 2,000 adults each year who find out they have a spinal cord ependymoma. A tumor the size of a baby carrot had been slowly growing in Aimee's spinal cord, pushing her spinal cord against her vertebrae.
"One challenging decision was whether to operate while Aimee was still pregnant or whether to wait for the delivery of the baby," says U-M neurosurgeon Daniel Orringer, M.D. "Operating while pregnant would put the fetus at risk of stress, exposure to toxic medications and possibly risk of death."

Binoculars for Sports Fans
The first factor you need to consider when choosing binoculars for sporting events is the size of your binoculars. Bleachers do not provide enough space to set up a tripod, which means you'll frequently be holding up your binoculars throughout the game. Using compact, light weight binoculars like Nikon's Eagleveiw will reduce wrist, neck, and shoulder fatigue so you can focus on the excitement of the completed pass at the far end of the field.
Long range or high magnification binoculars often cause jumping images when moved, making them difficult to use during sporting events. While they provide excellent clarity, the field of view they offer is narrower and these specialized binoculars can be difficult to focus. Binoculars with a magnification of 6 - 8 are strong enough to let you see the action at the end of the arena with a field of view
that allows you to see most of the width of the playing field.
Because sports fans often spend several hours in rain and snow, waterproof binoculars are a must and the seal that keeps water out also protects against dust in windy conditions. Investing in fog proof lenses will reduce muddled acuity, allowing you to view sporting events during inclement weather. The Bushnell H20 Porro Prism binocular combines both waterproof and fogproof features ideal for sports and outdoor enthusiasts.
Sports fans are notoriously active, often standing to boo the ref, cheer the star player, react dramatically to bad calls, or trample over other fans to grab a hot dog or nachos. All this movement can result in binoculars being knocked over, dropped, or otherwise damaged. Purchasing a shock resistant binocular like the Steiner's Safari Professional, designed for increased durability and life span, will protect your optics in a crowded arena full of enthusiastic and rambunctious fans.
Additionally, investing in small, portable binocular accessories like EyeShields block glare, dust and other weather distractions, increasing clarity so you don't miss that once-in-a-lifetime touchdown. Call the play for a better view and order

SYNOPSIS: When U.S. troops were pulled out of Southeast Asia in early 1975,
Vietnamese communist troops began capturing one city after another, with
Hue, Da Nang and Ban Me Thuot in March, Xuan Loc in April, and finally on
April 30, Saigon. In Cambodia, communist Khmer Rouge had captured the
capital city of Phnom Penh on April 17. The last Americans were evacuated
from Saigon during "Option IV", with U.S. Ambassador Martin departing on
April 29. The war, according to President Ford, "was finished."
2Lt. Richard Van de Geer, assigned to the 21st Special Ops Squadron at NKP,
had participated in the evacuation of Saigon, where helicopter pilots were
required to fly from the decks of the 7th Fleet carriers stationed some 500
miles offshore, fly over armed enemy-held territory, collect American and
allied personnel and return to the carriers via the same hazardous route,
heavily loaded with passengers. Van de Geer wrote to a friend, "We pulled
out close to 2,000 people. We couldn't pull out any more because it was
beyond human endurance to go any more..."
At 11:21 a.m. on May 12, the U.S. merchant ship MAYAGUEZ was seized by the
Khmer Rouge in the Gulf of Siam about 60 miles from the Cambodian coastline
and eight miles from Poulo Wai island. The ship, owned by Sea-Land
Corporation, was en route to Sattahip, Thailand from Hong Kong, carrying a
non-arms cargo for military bases in Thailand.
Capt. Charles T. Miller, a veteran of more than 40 years at sea, was on the
bridge. He had steered the ship within the boundaries of international
waters, but the Cambodians had recently claimed territorial waters 90 miles
from the coast of Cambodia. The thirty-nine seamen aboard were taken
President Ford ordered the aircraft carrier USS CORAL SEA, the guided
missile destroyer USS HENRY B. WILSON and the USS HOLT to the area of
seizure. By night, a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft located the MAYAGUEZ at
anchor off Poulo WaI island. Plans were made to rescue the crew. A
battalion landing team of 1,100 Marines was ordered flown from bases in
Okinawa and the Philippines to assemblE at Utapao, Thailand in preparation
for the assault.
The first casualties of the effort to free the MAYAGUEZ are recorded on May
13 when a helicopter carrying Air Force security team personnel crashed en
route to Utapao, killing all 23 aboard.
Early in the morning of May 13, the Mayaguez was ordered to head for Koh
Tang island. Its crew was loaded aboard a Thai fishing boat and taken first
to Koh Tang, then to the mainland city of Kompong Song, then to Rong San Lem
island. U.S. intelligence had observed a cove with considerable activity on
the island of Koh Tang, a small five-mile long island about 35 miles off the
coast of Cambodia southwest of the city of Sihanoukville (Kampong Saom), and
believed that some of the crew might be held there. They also knew of the
Thai fishing boat, and had observed what appeared to be caucasians aboard
it, but it could not be determined if some or all of the crew was aboard.
The USS HOLT was ordered to seize and secure the MAYAGUEZ, still anchored
off Koh Tang. Marines were to land on the island and rescue any of the crew.
Navy jets from the USS CORAL SEA were to make four strikes on military
installments on the Cambodian mainland.
On May 15, the first wave of 179 Marines headed for the island aboard eight
Air Force "Jolly Green Giant" helicopters. Three Air Force helicopters
unloaded Marines from the 1st Battalion, 4th Marines onto the landing pad of
the USS HOLT and then headed back to Utapao to pick up the second wave of
Marines. Planes dropped tear gas on the MAYAGUEZ, and the USS HOLT pulled up
along side the vessel and the Marines stormed aboard. The MAYAGUEZ was
Simultaneously, the Marines of the 2/9 were making their landings on two
other areas of the island. The eastern landing zone was on the cove side
where the Cambodian compound was located. The western landing zone was a
narrow spit of beach about 500 feet behind the compound on the other side of
the island. The Marines hoped to surround the compound.
As the first troops began to unload on both beaches, the Cambodians opened
fire. On the western beach, one helicopter was hit and flew off crippled, to
ditch in the ocean about 1 mile away. The pilot had just disembarked his
passengers, and he was rescued at sea.
Meanwhile, the eastern landing zone had become a disaster. The first two
helicopters landing were met by enemy fire. Ground commander, (now) Col.
Randall W. Austin had been told to expect between 20 and 40 Khmer Rouge
soldiers on the island. Instead, between 150 and 200 were encountered.
First, Lt. John Shramm's helicopter tore apart and crashed into the surf
after the rotor system was hit. All aboard made a dash for the tree line on
the beach.
One CH53A helicopter was flown by U.S. Air Force Major Howard Corson and
2Lt. Richard Van de Geer and carrying 23 U.S. Marines and 2 U.S. Navy
corpsmen, all from the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines. As the helicopter
approached the island, it was caught in a cross fire and hit by a rocket.
The severely damaged helicopter crashed into the sea just off the coast of
the island and exploded. To avoid enemy fire, survivors were forced to swim
out to sea for rescue. Twelve aboard, including Maj. Corson, were rescued.
Those missing from the helicopter were 2Lt. Richard Van de Geer, PFC Daniel
A. Benedett, PFC Lynn Blessing, PFC Walter Boyd, Lcpl. Gregory S.
Copenhaver, Lcpl. Andres Garcia, PFC James J. Jacques, PFC James R. Maxwell,
PFC Richard W. Rivenburgh, PFC Antonio R. Sandoval, PFC Kelton R. Turner,
all U.S. Marines. Also missing were HM1 Bernard Gause, Jr. and HM Ronald J.
Manning, the two corpsmen.
Other helicopters were more successful in landing their passengers. One
CH53A, however was not. SSgt. Elwood E. Rumbaugh's aircraft was near the
coastline when it was shot down. Rumbaugh is the only missing man from the
aircraft. The passengers were safely extracted. (It is not known whether the
passengers went down with the aircraft or whether they were rescued from the
By midmorning, when the Cambodians on the mainland began receiving reports
of the assault, they ordered the crew of the MAYAGUEZ on a Thai boat, and
then left. The MAYAGUEZ crew was recovered by the USS WILSON before the
second wave of Marines was deployed, but the second wave was ordered to
attack anyway.
Late in the afternoon, the assault force had consolidated its position on
the western landing zone and the eastern landing zone was evacuated at 6:00
p.m. By the end of the 14-hour operation, most of the Marines were extracted
from the island safely, with 50 wounded. Lcpl. Ashton Loney had been killed
by enemy fire, but his body could not be recovered.
Protecting the perimeter during the final evacuation was the machine gun
squad of PFC Gary L. Hall, Lcpl. Joseph N. Hargrove and Pvt. Danny G.
Marshall. They had run out of ammunition and were ordered to evacuate on the
last helicopter. It was their last contact. Maj. McNemar and Maj. James H.
Davis made a final sweep of the beach before boarding the helicopter and
were unable to locate them. They were declared Missing in Action.
The eighteen men missing from the MAYAGUEZ incident are listed among the
missing from the Vietnam war. Although authorities believe that there are
perhaps hundreds of American prisoners still alive in Southeast Asia from
the war, most are pessimistic about the fates of those captured by the Khmer
In 1988, the communist government of Kampuchea (Cambodia) announced that it
wished to return the remains of several dozen Americans to the United
States. (In fact, the number was higher than the official number of
Americans missing in Cambodia.) Because the U.S. does not officially
recognize the Cambodian government, it has refused to respond directly to
the Cambodians regarding the remains. Cambodia, wishing a direct
acknowledgment from the U.S. Government, still holds the remains.
National Alliance of Families
02/26/00 Newsletter
Inadvertently Left Behind - Within the next several months, the Defense
Department will announce the remains identification of servicemen lost on
May 15th 1975, at the Kho Tang Island, Cambodia. Eighteen airman, sailors
and marines were lost during an attempt to free the U.S. merchant vessel
Mayaguez. A detailed article by Lisa Hoffman of Scirpps Howard News Service
, published in the Washington Times, on February 23rd 2000 details incident
and the evidence that three men were inadvertently left behind... alive.
"...absent is a final accounting of the fate of three Marines who
inadvertently were left behind on the island when the rest evacuated. They
are believed to have been captured and executed days later."
"The tragic story of the Kho Tang battle began with the seizure of the
Mayaguez off the southern coast of Cambodia, 12 days after the fall of
South Vietnam's capital, Saigon. President Ford ordered U.S. forces to
rescue the 39 crew members."
"By the time the Marines launched their assault, the Cambodians had released
the Mayaguez sailors on the Cambodian mainland. An intelligence failure
left the Marines unaware that their services no longer were needed."
"More than 230 Marines stormed ashore on Kho Tang, expecting an easy job of
overcoming a small enemy encampment numbering no more than 20. Instead,
they were met by a well-armed force of 150. A furious battle lasted three
hours. Among the losses was the CH-53A helicopter, on which 13 GIs died. In
all, 18 U.S. troops were killed.
"The Marines drew back and waited 15 hours to be evacuated from the island,
in what became one of the most dramatic rescues of the war. A three-man
machine gun team, which included Covington, Ky., native Gary Hall, was
dispatched to protect the troops' flank during the withdrawal. But in the
fog of battle, the team was mistakenly overlooked. It wasn't until the next
day that their absence was realized. By then, it was too late to go back."
"Although their fate is not entirely certain, it is believed the trio
survived for several days before being captured and killed. One reportedly
was shot to death after being caught stealing food from the Khmer Rouge camp
. The other two apparently were bludgeoned to death."
"It wasn't until 1992 that military investigators with the Pentagon's Joint
Task Force-Full Accounting operation, which is in charge of accounting for
U.S. MIAs, were able to explore either the island or the helicopter wreckage
just offshore."
"By 1995, the team - which faced obstacles ranging from unexploded ordnance,
poisonous snakes, fierce storms and tropical diseases - had come up with an
elaborate method of essentially salvaging the CH-53A chopper so it could be
searched for remains. They built a dam around the helicopter and pumped out
the water and sand.
"Despite a quarter century of squalls, tides and scavengers, the
investigators managed to recover 161 human bone fragments and a few
personal effects - all that was left of the GIs, according to Tom Holland,
scientific director for the Army's identification lab.
"Later, scientists determined that the bones came from 13 different men. It
took another three years to "harvest" enough DNA from the bones and then
match it with DNA samples taken from maternal relatives to definitively
identify nine of them."
"That left four men unidentified. The remains of three of them were too
small to obtain a DNA sample."
Three Marines were left behind on Koh Tang. They are Joseph Hargrove, Gary
Hall and Danny Marshall. In the almost 25 years, since that battle, we
wonder if anyone has ever explained to the Hargrove, Hall and Marshall
families how these men were "inadvertently left behind." Or, why it was "to
late" to go back for them. Imagine what these men thought as they waited
for rescue and their thoughts when they finally realized no one was coming
for them.
One Families Thoughts - The following was sent to us, by Sandy Hargrove.
She is the sister-in-law of Joseph Hargrove, "inadvertently left behind" on
Kho Tang Island.
"Joseph Hargrove was lost on May 15th 1975 his 24th birthday. I know the
whole Hargrove family just knows that Joseph was sacrificed. We were never
told the truth."
"Joseph's older brother Lane was killed on April 21,1968. When Lane was
going over he was asked if he wanted to go to Canada by one of his older
brothers who had already done his time in the Army. Lane said no he wanted
to go to Nam."
"In those days we honestly believed that the government cared about us as
people. They wouldn't send someone to a foreign country and have him risk
his life for no reason... or would they. What we know now and what we knew
then. With all that we have gone through I think we would have all gone to
Canada with him."
"So Lane was blown up stepping on a land mine and his little brother Joseph
just got left behind. So will someone tell me how this country is a better
place because it is missing Joseph and Lane Hargrove. Joseph is a human
being not a number. How dare anyone to think they can just forget about
them. If it wasn't for Ralph writing that article in Popular Science over a
year ago I would still get the standard reply I usually get when I mention
the Mayaguez. "The What?"
"Well Joseph never came home because of that What. How easily people forget
. But now there is a movement out there to hold the government accountable.
I love my country don't get me wrong but the people who run it haven't done
a very good job as far as Viet Nam. If anything I hope the guys deaths will
prevent this from happening again."
"There are other little Hargroves growing up now Thank you God. Maybe they
all will have a chance to grow up and have families not just some of them.
The families that Lane or Joseph never had, leave a big empty spot at the
family reunions." Sandy Hargrove

Bits 'N' Pieces May 20, 2000
MIA Marines Identified From Mayaguez Incident - From the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense - News Release May 18, 2000 - "Six
Marines missing in action from the Vietnam War have been accounted for
and their remains are being returned to their families for burial in the
United States ."
"They are identified as Lance Cpl. Gregory S. Copenhaver, Port Deposit,
Md.; Lance Cpl. Andres Garcia, Carlsbad, N.M.; Pfc. Walter Boyd,
Norfolk, Va.; and Pfc. Kelton R. Turner, Los Angeles, Calif. The names
of two Marines are being withheld at the request of their families."
"...Between 1991-99, U.S. and Cambodian investigators conducted seven
joint investigations, led by the Joint Task Force-Full Accounting.
Additionally, on three occasions Cambodian authorities unilaterally
turned over remains believed to be those of American servicemen. In
October and November 1995, U.S. and Cambodian specialists conducted an
underwater recovery of the helicopter crash site where they located
numerous remains, personal effects and aircraft debris associated with
the loss. The USS Brunswick, a Navy salvage vessel, enabled the
specialists to conduct their excavation off shore. In addition to the
support provided by the Cambodian government, the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam also interviewed two Vietnamese informants in Ho Chi Minh City
who turned over remains that were later positively identified...."
"...Analysis of the remains and other evidence was made by the U.S. Army
Central Identification Laboratory Hawaii, which also conducted all the
remains recovery operations. The CILHI made extensive use of
mitochondrial DNA as one of the forensic identification tools to
establish the identity of these men...."
Mayaguez Documentary - We hope you all saw the excellent documentary on
the Mayaguez incident aired by the Discovery Channel. Titled "Seized at
Sea" this documentary provided detailed information on the actual battle
as well as the behind the scenes political decision making that led to
the ill-fated rescue.
An interview with one of the Cambodian soldiers provided information on
three Marines left behind alive. According to the Cambodia the three
emerged from the jungle three days after the battle, seeking food and
The fate of the three, Joseph Hargrove, Danny Marshall and Gary Hall
remain unknown.
Another Question - viewers of "Seized at Sea" were left with is -- Just what
does the "I" in "CIA" stand for. Based on the information provided by the
CIA for this operation the "I" sure didn't stand for "Intelligence."
Mayaguez Correction - In the last edition of "Bits" we referred to the
Mayaguez as USS Mayaguez. The correct designation is S.S. Mayaguez. The
difference, USS denotes a United States Naval Ship. The S.S. denotes a
commercial freighter. The Mayaguez was a civilian ship. Thanks to Dewey
Martin, U.S. Merchant Marines (Ret) for bringing this to our attention.

The newly established Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency has dispatched a
remains recovery team to the
Cambodian island of Koh Tang, where three Marines were left behindfollowing the final battle of the Vietnam War.
The excavation site is believed to hold the remains of Lance Cpl. Joseph
Hargrove, Pfc. Gary Hall or Pvt. Danny

The three-man gun team was left behind in the confusion of a troop

Subject: Lost Fire Team
My name is Cary Turner and I am cousin to Joseph Hargrove who was one of the three marines left
on Koh Tang during the "Mayaguez Incident." For over 41 years there has been a cover up involving
the Lost Fire Team.
After a ten year battle investigating this incident trying to get answers for the many questions that
my family has had and never getting any co-operation from our own government I had to resort to
seeking those answers from foreign sources.
Over the course of those years I was blessed enough to develop a "network" of good hearted people
willing to help in this endeavor.
We eventually gathered the story piece by piece until we finally obtained the truth of what really
happened to those three brave marines.
The truth is, the three marines were ordered to provide cover fire for the other marines being extracted
from the island. After carrying out those orders they pulled back into the landing zone and there waited
for pick up as promised.
Henry Kissinger denied the request for any rescue aircraft nor Navy Seal Team to extract those three
marines from the island. They were abandoned by orders from the White House.
Finally, after 41 years I am extremely happy to announce that soon to be published by Newsweek in
their January 20th issue will be the story of what really happened to those marines on the night of
May 15, 1975. Everything in the article is documented and can be proven.
We have spent 10 years doing the ground work to expose this cover up. Now I am asking all Vietnam
Veteran's and any other veteran's to join us in the fight to bring those three marines home as well as
recognizing their courage and dedication in holding true to the marine tradition (Semper Fi).
After the article is published I am asking for all veteran's to contact their Congressmen and US Senators
demanding an investigation.
We have witnesses that the DPAA has Joseph's remains and we also have reason to believe they have the
remains of Gary Hall and Danny Marshall as well. They refuse to send them home for the sole purpose of
protecting Henry Kissinger. In a matter of speaking Joseph is being held as a political prisoner until
Kissinger dies.
Want you please join us in our fight and give these three brave men their due. Which is, an honorable
burial and a higher accommodation.
Please forward this to all your VVA Chapters and all veteran's groups as well as your friends.
For Joseph!
Cary Turner

Bring Joseph Hargrove Home - MIA Vietnam
2018 - - Another May is here again. This May 15 will mark the
43rd anniversary of Koh Tang and no answers.
Who would have ever thought the government would go without answers to the families of these three brave men? ...
Shortly after midnight on May 15, 1975, three Marines made up an M-60 machine gun team that was part of a Marine force making a helicopter-borne assault on enemy holdings on Koh Tang Island, Cambodia. They participated in combat operations throughout the day and were not known to be injured or wounded at any point. On the evening of May 15 orders were given to pull back to the beach of the island for extraction and to set up a new defensive position. The three Marines left their initial defensive position and started back to the beach; however, only one was sighted on the beach, and when the extraction was finished that night, all three Marines were missing. Enemy activity in the area prevented a return to the beach in order to search for them, and they remain unaccounted-for.
Corporal Joseph Nelson Hargrove entered the U.S. Marine Corps from North Carolina and served in Company E, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment. He was a member of this M-60 machine gun team, and went missing during the operation. Attempts to locate him or his remains following his disappearance have been unsuccessful. Today, Corporal Hargrove is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Based on all information available, DPAA assessed the individual's case to be in the analytical category of Active Pursuit.
If you are a family member of this serviceman, DPAA can provide you with additional information and analysis of your case. Please contact your casualty office representative.

Richard Fernandez: A Question of PersonalityPosted: February 23, 2015 Filed under: Politics, Think Tank, White House | Tags: Anti-Americanism, Babysitting, Barack Obama, Ben Carson, Benjamin Netanyahu, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Israel, Prime Minister of Israel, Republican Party (United States), Rudy Giuliani, The New York Times Leave a comment
A charismatic leader derives authority from himself; from an astounding life story, from attributes possessed by no other man.
Richard Fernandez writes: One of the minor casualties of the Obama administration has been the reputation of genuine "community organizers". Before going any further, might the reader please try this test. Please name one other "community organizer" besides Barack Obama.
"The Obama phenomenon is founded so completely on his legend that to attack the legend is to undermine the very foundations of the tower on which he stands."
Most people will not be able to name a single one and for good reason. The overarching ethos of a "community organizer", especially one trained in the Alinsky method, is to plant ideas in people's minds, let them run with it and fade away. But as the New York Times recalled, the young Obama did not want to toil in obscurity and finish up like all those community organizers whose names you can't remember — the kind who live out their old age with a cupful of money and barrel full of war stories. He wanted fame; position, to be on center stage.
[Read the full text of Richard Fernandez's essay here, at Belmont Club]
Mr. Obama had risen to executive director of the Developing Communities group, but the demanding hours, small victories and low pay took a toll on him, and he decided to leave.
"'We are not making large-scale change, and I want to be involved in doing that,' " Mr. Kellman said Mr. Obama had told him. … Mr. Obama had mused to friends in Chicago about one day working for unions or becoming a preacher, a journalist or even a fiction writer. While there, he wrote short stories based on people he had encountered. "The stories were beautifully crafted and evocative," said Mr. Kruglik.
But Mr. Obama decided on law school instead. Shortly before Mr. Obama left for Harvard, about 60 people attended a farewell reception for him at Altgeld Gardens. He told associates that he intended to return to Chicago once he earned his law degree to pursue a career "in public life."
This was the moment of clear departure from the community organizing road. But let us pause for a moment and fix in our mind the existence of these beautiful, evocative short stories which Kellman describes for we will return to it later. The purpose of this digression into Obama's "community organizing" past is to identify the leadership model he chose which was the complete the opposite of the anonymous behind the scenes community organizer. Obama's chosen model for greatness was to become a charismatic leader.
"Obama's vulnerability is America's vulnerability…American credibility — and that of its cultural elite — now rests on a single point of failure: the narrative life history of the least vetted person in recent presidential politics. No republic, especially one as great as the United States, should ever be based on the such a fragile thing as the biography of a single man."
A charismatic leader derives authority from himself; from an astounding life story, from attributes possessed by no other man. The approach has become common and we know the sort; the Native American who became a law professor and then Senator; the single mother who wanted to be a governor. The life-story is now standard, but Obama was clearly special. From the very beginning of his career Obama argued that his unique biography — his bi-racial parentage, foreign upbringing, his literary skills etc — made him a special person. By virtue of these gifts he could heal racial divisions; reach out to the Muslim world; bridge the gap between rich and poor and serve as a link between the generations.
"What Giuliani had done was undermine Obama's legitimacy. Because so much of Obama's "power" comes from his special-ness that to question his patriotism is to strike at the basis for his governance. It was, as in a monarchy, tantamount to rebellion."
By contrast most American presidents derived their greatness from the position, many simply political hacks who we remember today simply because they occupied the Oval Office. Obama marks the first time in recent memory when the office is deemed uplifted by the man and not the other way round.
Charismatic leadership has its advantages, which is why it occurs repeatedly in history. It permits the charismatic person to "be bigger than the job" and do great things. Men with this attribute, like Alexander, Caesar or Napoleon seem to rise above the rules and constraints that bind mere human beings. It's natural that Obama would prefer to be a 'special' president rather than an ordinary one.
"Disrespect America, even attack it if you want, and you will not receive a tenth such voltage as did Netanyahu. The torrent of hostility poured upon Netanyahu was so out of proportion to any conceivable offense, that he probably felt obliged to persist in coming, reasoning that he must be on to something."
Yet as someone said to a student who aspired to drop out of college "like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs", you have to first be sure you can walk that walk before casting your academic career to the winds. Because charismatic leadership has some drawbacks. The most obvious being that since power flows from the person himself then when Rudy Giuliani publicly questioned Obama's patriotism he was attacking the wellsprings of the administration.
When Giuliani told an audience "I do not believe – and I know this is a horrible thing to say – but I do not believe that the President loves America," he was inadvertently doing more than criticizing a president; he was in a manner of speaking, committing treason. The unprecedented firestorm of opprobrium that greeted Giuliani suggested that he had somehow hit a switch. It was like pushing an ordinary button in the wall and watching the skyscrapers out the window suddenly crumble in dust down into the ground.
What Giuliani had done was undermine Obama's legitimacy. Because so much of Obama's "power" comes from his special-ness that to question his patriotism is to strike at the basis for his governance. It was, as in a monarchy, tantamount to rebellion. The reason that similar remarks by Obama about George Bush's patriotism evoked simple shrugs was because Bush was just an ordinary president, the latest in a line of politicians to occupy the office since George Washington.
But Obama is different. One cannot understand, for example, the vituperation vented by Dana Milbank at Scott Walker, calling him out for "cowardice", arguing for his "disqualification" (yes those are the words) for the simple act of refusing to publicly repudiate Giuliani's words about the president, unless one grasps this essential fact. Obama is different. The Obama phenomenon is founded so completely on his legend that to attack the legend is to undermine the very foundations of the tower on which he stands.
But this is not the first time the Obama myth has been directly impugned…(read more)

Opt-in Email Best Practices
by Morgan Stewart on Apr 30, 2:00 AM
The idea of sending an opt-in (or "re-opt-in") campaign to subscribers to verify email permission is not new, but interest in these campaigns is increasing. Over time, a portion of your email list will become unengaged -- which has several negative effects. Unengaged subscribers result in lower response rates and wasted marketing dollars. Re-opt-in campaigns are useful for cleaning old or unengaged subscribers off your list by confirming which subscribers want to continue receiving marketing emails. This results in a healthier list and increased return on investment.

One Million Opt-Ins?

Dear E-mail Diva: We recently used an email marketing company that said they would send out over a million emails to opted-in customers for $160. We used Google Analytics to track the emails and found out this company was a complete fraud.

Why The Open Rate Must Die

Sender-Line Branding Tactics In Retail Emails
by Chad White on Apr 17, 2:00 AM
Recent studies show that a majority of email users look at the sender name and address when deciding whether or not to open an email. If they recognize your sender line and think well of you, they'll likely open. If they don't recognize you, they'll likely delete you on the spot -- or worse, mark you as spam.

Who Hijacked My Email Program?

One of the most challenging aspects of managing an email program is the delicate balancing act required to satisfy multiple constituents with different (and often conflicting) priorities. The challenge is intensified when stakeholders take a more hands-on approach, claiming to be "helping" your program when in fact they are more interested in using your program to serve their needs.

Engaging Content Vs. Hard Sell

Dear Email Diva: I've been trying to persuade management (and Marketing!) to try out new content that is relevant and engaging to the reader rather than a perpetual hard sell on our services.

I kept hearing people talk about this book saying that Krauss wrote the same book as Jonathan Safran Foer (her husband), but she wrote it better. It's somewhat true, being a multilinear story steeped in the Holocaust and its lost histories and secrets, driven by clever, young people who go through great lengths to reveal them. But in Krauss's book, there is also the quirky, old man Leopold Gursky who escaped Nazi-occupied Poland for a lonely life in New York City, where he fears he is disappearing. He is certainly the heart of this book.
I try to make a point of being seen. Sometimes when I'm out, I'll buy a juice even though I'm not thirsty. If the store is crowded I'll even go so far as dropping my change all over the floor, the nickels and dimes skidding in every direction … All I want is not to die on a day when I went unseen.
There are so many threads spinning the story together that at first it feels disconcerting starting each one and getting used to all the players involved, especially since the trick of it is not knowing how they are all connected initially. In the end, it's impressive how Krauss manages to show key aspects of the story without ever describing them in words.
The film version will be directed by Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Y tu mamá también).

Cecelia Catherine Bednarczyk Hetzel
Cecelia Catherine Bednarczyk Hetzel, 86, beloved widow of Jack Hetzel, died peacefully Monday morning at Glastonbury Health Care Center. She had been a resident of Portland for the last 60 years.
Born in New Britain on Dec. 26, 1919, she was the daughter of the late Konstanty and Wladislawa Sliwicka Bednarczyk. She had moved to Portland following her marriage to Jack and was a longtime parishioner of the Church of Saint Mary. Over the years, she was an active participant in many of the activities of the parish, including the St. Mary's Altar Society and the St. Mary's Guild.
Ceil's life was defined by her great love for her family and her Church. For many years, she attended daily Mass and she had a great devotion to the Blessed Mother. She said the Rosary every day. She was a loving and devoted wife and mother, and she will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Ceil is survived by her son, Jack and his wife Lauretta Scionti Hetzel of Portland; her daughter, Leslie O'Connor and her husband Dr. Charles O'Connor of Glastonbury; her son, David Hetzel and his wife Constance of Darien; her daughter, Annie Meyers and her significant other Don Merrimarahajara of Portland. She also leaves five beloved grandchildren, Stephanie Hetzel Snell, Taylor J. Hetzel, Travis Meyers, Meaghan Meyers and Haley Meyers; and two sweet great-grandchildren, Patrick and Melanie Snell. Ceil is also survived by her brother, Stanley Bednarczyk and his wife Loretta of New Britain, and by her sister-in-law, Margaret Blodgett and her husband William of East Hampton. She also leaves behind many dear nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Ceil was predeceased by her beloved husband, Jack Hetzel; by her brothers, Edward and Peter Bednarczyk; by her older sisters, Ann Hoffman and Genevieve "Jean" Mlynick; and by her dear twin sister Mary "Pat" Borowski. She also leaves behind her "second family," the staff of the Glastonbury Health Care Center who cared for her so compassionately.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial on Thursday at 10 a.m. in the Church of Saint Mary, 51 Freestone Ave., Portland. Interment will follow in St. Mary's Cemetery. Friends may call at the Portland Memorial Funeral Home, 231 Main St., Portland, on Wednesday from 5 to
8 p.m. Those who wish may participate in a Rosary said in memory of Ceil at the conclusion of the calling hours. For those who wish to make a contribution in lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial donations be sent to the St. Mary Stained Glass Window Fund, 51 Freestone Ave., Portland, CT 06480, or to the Immaculata Retreat House, P.O. Box 55, 289 Windham Road, Willimantic, CT 06226-0055. www.portlandmemorialfh.com.

A WARWICKSHIRE family law specialist has expanded its team with the appointment of lawyer Tania Martin.
Tania will work from her home office in Kenilworth, serving clients across Warwickshire and Solihull, for Woolley & Co which has pioneered home working and the use of technology to best serve clients.
Tania, who has a particular specialism in financial issues surrounding all areas of family law, said: "Many clients are comfortable with using e-mail and buying services online these days - perhaps a lot more comfortable than having to make visits to an imposing town centre office to see a lawyer."

THE MINACK (P Nicholls)
ON the advice of Ruby Walsh, Nicholls sent The Minack (left) to Huntingdon on Thursday as opposed to waiting for the Cheltenham Festival and that decision was handsomely rewarded by an exemplary round of hurdling. More will be heard from him.
LUSH LIFE (N Henderson)
IT was anticipated that this hurdler would have to play second fiddle to odds-on shot Menorah at Ascot last Saturday but the manner in which the gelding breezed past his rival on the run-in suggests a profitable spring is around the corner.
MUKTASB (D Shaw)
FOLLOWING horses that have been unlucky in running is often a route to the poor but this fellow really should have won at Lingfield on Tuesday; after missing the break, he continually found his hopes of progress blocked on the rail. Compensation surely awaits.
BOTHY (B Ellison)
A TRIP to the Cheltenham Festival beckons for this promising juvenile after his impressive success at Taunton on Tuesday; showed a great attitude to plough through the mud but soft conditions are not imperative and he looks a likely type for the Fred Winter Hurdle.

MINSK, 16 April (BelTA) – Belarusians were saddened to learn the news about the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly Mikhail Myasnikovich said as he met with a French parliamentary delegation in Minsk on 16 April, BelTA has learned.
Mikhail Myasnikovich stressed that Belarusians are sincerely sorry about the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the main attractions of France, the symbol of Paris. "Belarusians, and many other people across the world, took this news close to heart," he said.
Charles Guene, Deputy Chairman of the Finance Commission of the French Senate, chairman of the France-Belarus friendship group, thanked Mikhail Myasnikovich for the support noting that "his words really strike a chord". The people of France are shocked over the Notre Dame fire, Charles Guene said.
As it has been reported, a fire occurred at the upper levels of the building on 15 April, at about 18.50 local time. According to some sources, the blaze could be potentially linked to ongoing renovations. The fire destroyed the upper part of the spire, the bell and a large part of the roof.
For centuries Notre Dame Cathedral has been the most iconic landmark of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is situated in the eastern part of Ile de la Cite, at the site of the first Christian church in the French capital and is on the list of world monuments. In 2013, the cathedral celebrated its 850th anniversary. Every year it attracts about 14 million visitors.

Protein Rich Food for Muscle Building
How to Get More Protein
As we age, there is a tendency to lose muscle and gain fat. Most people regard this as a natural part of the aging process. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Part of the problem is that as we get older, we become more time poor. So we eat more fast food or supermarket pre-packaged food, which means more sugar, more preservative and less protein. We spend a lot more time sitting down and far less getting any sort of exercise. It's insidious, and before long we feel we are at the point of no return.
But it's not so. Each of these issues can be tackled. Sometimes, the only way to do that is to pick one thing and tackle it first.
This article will focus on getting more protein.
Protein is an essential muscle-building nutrient. It builds, maintains and repairs all your muscles. And once you start exercising again, it allows your muscles to grow back bigger and stronger between each workout. This article will help you maximize your protein intake by listing 10 of the top protein-rich foods for building up your muscles. Here is my list of the top 10 protein-rich foods available.

My name is Jennifer, I'm 22 years old and I'm the current Swiss intern at Gladstone's Library. But how did somebody from Switzerland get to work here? Long story…
One year ago Britta Biedermann came to my school to talk about the Leonardo da Vinci Mobility Project. Britta is the Project Manager and the project's main mission is 'Mobility for Young Swiss Librarians in European Libraries and Archives, Learning Across Boundaries'. But what does that mean?
It means that if you're a Swiss Librarian or Archivist who will graduate in the next year, you have the opportunity to apply to receive a three / four month scholarship in either the Oxford Bodleian Libraries, the House of Commons in London or Gladstone's Library in Hawarden. I took the chance and wrote an application. One month later I got an email from Britta saying that I had been successful and had the opportunity to work at Gladstone's Library. Now we had to wait for the response from the scholarship to confirm my place. In the meantime, I studied for my final exams. A few weeks before they began, Britta told me that the scholarship had accepted me and Gladstone's Library and I'd soon be on my way to Wales.
But before I could go to Gladstone's Library I still had five months ahead of me. At that point I had a work contract with a community archive where I was working while I studied. In Switzerland you study for two days a week and on the other three days you have to work in a Library or Archive, so you can apply the things you have learnt to a practical working place. In between graduating and going to Gladstone's Library I had a lot to do. The money I got in advance from the scholarship was just enough to pay for the room, food and flight. But of course I wanted to see something of Wales and England and to travel around or go to the pub with the other interns. So I got another job during the Christmas sales and trade fares.
After what felt like hundreds of emails I finally got the chance to meet Louisa (Yates, Director of Collections and Research) and Peter (Francis, Warden) in a Skype interview. I was so nervous I couldn't speak a word. But they were looking forward to welcoming me in 2017. Normally the interns from that scholarship would start working in the same year that they applied, but because of my work contract I started my internship at Gladstone's Library on 3rd January 2017.
On that 3rd January I flew early in the morning from Genf to Liverpool. Unfortunately I found out at the airport that the railway line between Liverpool Lime Street and Chester was closed for maintenance. After one bus, one train, a replacement bus, another train and a taxi (I had definitely had enough of public transport by the end) I arrived, with my 66 pound suitcases, at Gladstone's Library. And I was so happy when Siân (Morgan, Archives Assistant and Receptionist) and Ruth (Jones, Intern) gave me a warm welcome.
Siân explained to me where I could find things that I might need in the building and Ruth showed me my bedroom. I arrived around 3pm and stayed in my room until dinner, I was so exhausted. At dinner I met Ceri (Thompson, Intern) and Rebecca (Lovell, Intern). They were so friendly and gave me more information about the next working day and the other colleagues.
My first impressions of Gladstone's Library and Hawarden where mixed. I loved the historical building, the fact that it's both a Prime Ministerial library and a residential one, as well as all of the history and knowledge it contains. I wasn't so happy about the slip-book system, the library's lending system. I understand how important it is to know which books are used and in which areas, so the Library can buy more books on these subjects, but it brings a lot of work for us, the interns, which we wouldn't have to do if we had an electronic lending system! But an electronic system costs money, a lot of money actually – it would cost over £22,000 to include the books and items which Gladstone's Library currently owns, and this cost would increase with every new item acquired. Anybody like to help us out by making a donation??
Another thing I find difficult is the public transport, but that's probably because the public transport in Switzerland is so flawless and I just have to get used to it. What I really appreciate about British people is their good manners and their openness. It made it easier to settle in.
So how is it working at Gladstone's Library? It's really varied. I think that comes from having a small library and archive team. On my first working day I was introduced to Gary (Butler, Library Assistant) he gave me a tour around the library, the collection and showed me what the team is working on at the moment. Then I started to work. I processed, re-shelfed, catalogued, labelled books, processed journals, learned the classmark system, helped with requests, led inductions and Glimpses. I was really terrified before my first Glimpse. I'm not the type of person who presents something without practicing it over and over and over, but I had to and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I actually like doing Glimpses now. Probably not a Glimpse with 15 people, but with five or seven that's OK.
Another thing I was daunted about was Marketing. I never liked social media, but then I met Amy (Sumner, Marketing Manager). She is so good at Marketing and makes it look so easy. I'm a lot better at Marketing now compared with when I arrived, particularly in terms of social media. When I arrived at the Library, I only had a Facebook profile and I started with Instagram the day I arrived in Wales, to allow other people to be a part of my adventure. But I hadn't got a clue what I was doing and I actually had to google what hashtags are for and where I should put them. Now I'm fine with it. I do Twitter and Facebook posts on Wednesday, daily Instagram posts and from time to time I also use my private account.
Next to work I have a lot of spare time. I have every Saturday and Sunday off, which isn't usual for a Gladstone's Library Intern. I've been to Manchester and Liverpool and spent time in both visiting museums and libraries - as a library intern you have to do that!
In two weeks I will fly back home to Switzerland and even though I am going home to my friends and family, I still feel sad about it. When I applied for the scholarship I thought 'Three months is a really long time, it's a quarter of a year'. Now I have to say it's not long at all. Wales is a beautiful country and Gladstone's Library a unique place. I'm happy that I had the chance to work here and meet the lovely staff. I will miss them when I'm not here anymore.
But I'm not the last Swiss intern at Gladstone's Library. Peter and Louisa appreciate the work with Britta and the Swiss scholarship. They have already chosen the next Swiss intern and I have my fingers crossed that the scholarship agrees with their decision. We will found out in June…

The Indy is about to go on summer hiatus and when it returns to newsstands in September we will no longer be its Managing Editors. Over the past five months we editors have tried hard to give you a left-leaning newspaper with imagination. The paper has run pieces about homophobia in local pro-wrestling, about downtown surveillance, about rape culture, and about access to translation services in activist organizing. We've run poems about loss and essays about struggle, defiance, and hope. We've also just done some weird stuff. We haven't covered everything: we regret not writing about Roberto Quinilla and others' lawsuit against Gourmet Heaven for the latter's violation of labor law. We'll say it now: we wish them luck. Most of the pieces in this issue were written before the demonstrations in Baltimore started and we don't know what will be happening there by the time this appears in print. One of the drawbacks of running a weekly is that it can't effectively cover situations that are dynamic and changing day-by-day. To the protestors in Baltimore, wherever you may be come Friday: we wish you luck and safety.
But what we hope to claim we have done over the past five months, if anything, is give you a paper that takes broad views of its subjects, that steps back from the often myopic coverage of the local dailies to question basic assumptions, to go over foundational questions one more time. The Indy summarizes, synthesizes, and hopefully fills some small
gaps left over in the spaces between hundreds of items
of coverage on individual protests, committee hearings, victories and defeats that take place on a diurnal register. In the fall a new team of Managing Editors will join you and redefine the paper for themselves, but in the meantime it will be up to you to keep pushing, keep fighting, and keep taking a long view. We wish you luck. –RS, SH & ZS
