Where would such an idea, say as that of God, come from, if not from direct experience? ... No: as to God, open your eyes—and your heart; which is also a perceptive organ—and you see him. But you may ask, Don't you admit there are any delusions? Yes: I may think a thing is black, and on close examination it may turn out to be bottle-green. But I cannot think a thing is black if there is no such thing as black. Neither can I think that a certain action is self-sacrificing, if no such thing as self-sacrifice exists, although it may be very rare. It is the nominalists, and the nominalists alone, who indulge in such skepticism, which the scientific method utterly condemns.
Charles Sanders Peirce, in Collected Papers, Vol. VI.
(p. 125) Granting this, the ontological argument says that, with reference to God, "at least possible" is indistinguishable from "possible and actual" (though, as we shall see, "possible" here means simply "not impossible" and has no positive content different from actuality). Let us now present the reasons for the contention that "at least possible" and "actual" are indistinguishable in the case of the divine.
(p. 126) Nothing else is required. The opposition, on the contrary, sets up a general principle which, but for God and the desire to avoid asserting his existence (as following from his possibility), would be without merit.
(p. 127) as unproduced, a reality always existing or never existing or even capable of existing, either in essence uncaused or a mere nonentity.
(p. 129) alternatives, is that he is really the content of "existence," the generic factor of the universe. To conceive God is not to conceive what might exist, but what "existence" itself must be—if the idea of God is not meaningless. Either God is nothing at all, or all else that exists exists in and through him, and therefore contingently, and he himself exists (in his essence, though not in his accidents) solely in and through himself, that is, necessarily. The cosmological argument showed that only "God" makes clearly conceivable the flexibility of the generic features of existence by which alternative details of existence can, as alternatives, be real. Alternativeness is one way of looking at creativeness, and the essential or cosmic creativeness is the divine, and nothing else.
(p. 130) Again, contingent existence (the equal compatibility with existence or its negative) is implied by such predicates as those describing a man. His weaknesses imply that it is not true that he is the master of existence, able to exist through his own resources. The strength of God implies the opposite relation to existence. "Self-existence" is a predicate which necessarily and uniquely belongs to God, for it is part of the predicate divinity. It is part of the nature of ordinary causes that they are themselves effects of causes which antedate them. It is part of the nature of supreme causality1 that it is coextensive in time with all causal action. (Not that God's action is in no sense affected by causes, for the law of action and reaction may apply to God; but simply that God, as an individual, cannot have originated out of pre-existent individuals. His existence is uncaused, whether or not all his properties are. Or, otherwise expressed, his essential properties, being one with his existence, have no ground in other individuals; but he may be subject, in spite of the Thomists, to accidents whose explanation is in part to be sought in the accidents occurring in other individuals.) To be God is essentially to be the supreme productive force itself, unproduced and unproducible (except in its accidents) by any force whatsoever. Hence either God is actual, or there is nothing which could be meant by his possible existence. Thus that God's essence should imply his existential status (as contingent or necessary) is not an exception to the rule, but an example of it, since the rule is that contingency or non-contingency of existence follows from the kind of thing in question.
(p. 131) Description of contingent things gives always a class quality, unless in the description is included some reference to the space-time world which itself is identified as "this" world, not by description. But "perfection," as we shall see presently, is the one description which defines no class, not even a "one-membered" one, but either nothing or else an individual. If, then, it is true, as it seems to be, that mere possibility is always a matter of class, then the perfect being, which is no class, is either impossible or actual—there being no fourth status.
(p. 132) (for the only individuality that could be involved is already involved), or else belonging to the one real perfect individual.
(p. 133) That which would exist, if at all, necessarily, cannot be non-existent and yet possible, for this would mean having existence as a contingent alternative, and a contingent alternative cannot be necessary. To object to this is to object to the idea of God, and not merely to the affirmation, "There is a being corresponding to the idea."
(p. 134) Aristotelian objections to disembodied universals9 can be sustained only if there be a universal embodiment, a "concrete" universal so far as present actuality is concerned, though a universal which is also (contrary to Hegelianism) abstract so far as the future and potentiality are involved.
(p. 135) To say God cannot be a mere potency and to say two and two cannot make five differ in the degree of clearness of the ideas involved, but not in the a priori, or (relatively) self-evident, character of the reasoning.

Charles Chaplin: My Autobiography.
"The crucial artist of the twentieth century" (The New Yorker) First Edition Charlie Chaplin's Autobiography; Signed by Him
Charles Chaplin: My Autobiography.
CHAPLIN, Charles.
Item Number: 92368
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1964.
First edition of "the best autobiography ever written by an actor. An astonishing work" (Chicago Tribune). Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Signed by the author on the dedication page, "Best wishes Charles Chaplin Oct 1968." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Scarce signed.
Chaplin's heartfelt and hilarious autobiography tells the story of his childhood, the challenge of identifying and perfecting his talent, his subsequent film career and worldwide celebrity. In this, one of the very first celebrity memoirs, Chaplin displays all the charms, peculiarities and deeply-held beliefs that made him such an endearing and lasting character. Take this unforgettable journey with the man George Bernard Shaw called "the only genius to come out of the movie industry" as he moves from his impoverished South London childhood to the heights of Hollywood wealth and fame; from the McCarthy-era investigations to his founding of United Artists to his "reverse migration" back to Europe, My Autobiography is a reading experience not to be missed.

In last season's market there were many teams interested in selling and very few buyers, so the value of the players right now is surprisingly low in the trade market.
But in this case, it seems that the sellers will be the winners and one of them would be the Tampa Bay Rays, who could eventually send Chris Archer to a new team. According to information from Ken Rosenthal of MLB.com, the Tampa team would be forced by the interest in the pitcher to trade him.
Today @baseballpro I wrote a thing about Chris Archer, who hasn't been himself, but might be ready to turn it around (once he gets off the DL, that is) ($) https://t.co/dej0ywWffA— Mark Barry (@hoodieandtie) 13 de junio de 2018
Despite this, the team would not be so happy to trade Archer because of the affordability of their contract. Archer has a contract of 7.5 million dollars for 2019 and two options for 8.5 million dollars in 2020 and 2021.
Probably the Rays do not get what was handled by him in past seasons as his level has been declining and injuries have hit this campaign. Archer has a 4.24 ERA in 13 starts this season.

(Please note: the names and locations of all parties have been changed to protect the confidentiality of the proceedings.)
Since the attack, Ms. Rich tried to return to work approximately one week post-incident and has tried to work intermittently since the incident, but has been unable to return to her full duties over the past 12 months because of her back and leg pain. She continues to receive significant medical care. Dr. Shortley stated the following about her past and future employment:
"Ms. Rich was working long hours prior to the dog attack March 17, 2006… Because of the persistence of her pain and neurologic loss in spite of reducing her workload it is probable that Ms. Rich will not be able to return to the work schedule he enjoyed before the dog attack. Therefore it is probable that he will not be able to work the number of hours and will have wage loss that will be ongoing into the future."
Dr. Shortley's report is referenced herein.
On average, Ms. Rich earned $6,437.40 per month before the attack at her home office law practice. After the dog attack she earned $5,450.27. Therefore, she had a $987.13 loss per month. Financial records are referenced herein.
By March 30, 2006, Ms. Rich earned $26,640.34 ($8,880.11 average per month) from her local office practice before the attack, and by May 2006 her year-to-date income was only $35,910.34. She only earned $9,270.00 in April and May, or $4,635.00 per month after the attack. Therefore, she has earned approximately $4,245.11, less per month from this portion of her practice. Those financial records are referenced herein.
Therefore, Ms. Rich has the following wage loss.
Sacramento Law Practice ($987.13 x 12 months) $ 11,845.56
National Legal Services ($4,635 x 12 months) $ 55,620.00
Total Past Wage Loss $ 67,465.56
As indicated, Ms. Rich is 55 years of age. It is conservatively estimated she will work another 10 years. As demonstrated above, her wage loss is $67,465.56 per year. Dr. Shortley states this wage loss will be "ongoing." Her future wage loss claim therefore is, $674,655.60. (See Part 7 of 7.)

Fires in wildland-urban interfaces (WUI) are associated with severe negative consequences, such as large community evacuation, property losses social disruption, short- and long-term damage to infrastructure, injuries, and evacuee and responder fatalities. Wildland fires represent an important safety issue in many regions of the world. The future expansion and increased complexity of wildland urban interfaces (WUI) pose severe challenges to community safety from an evacuation perspective.
WUI incidents require a multi-domain approach to assess their impact and the effectiveness of any mitigation efforts implemented. A simulation framework that can establish evacuation performance ahead of time (before responses are implemented), would complement current planning and educational approaches and broaden the scope of the evidence available in a cost-effective way. Such a framework might be used to predict how an evacuation develops based on current and possible future fire conditions, given different affected populations and evacuation decisions and the access/availability of different resources (e.g., road access, public transport, traffic congestion, etc.). To achieve this, the simulation framework would need to represent the core components driving the incident; e.g., a predictive model of residential response, fire development and traffic flow.
A specification for such an integrated platform architecture was developed during a 2017 FPRF research project. The WUI-NITY project aims at developing an integrated software platform for the simulation of wildland-urban interface (WUI) evacuation scenarios that can be used both before an incident for planning and during an incident to inform decisions. The primary application of this platform is the ability to generate dynamic vulnerability maps from coupled fire, pedestrian and traffic sub-models. The webinar will discuss the outcomes from this effort. The final project report will be available on the FPRF website.

Pop of Pink
Dress: DVF (similar here) // Bag: She + Lo c/0 // Shoes: Zara // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Earrings: Bauble Bar
One of my favorite trends for spring is the monochrome outfit. Monochrome dressing is as easy as it is fashionable, and chances are you already have everything you need in your closet. To keep it interesting, experiment with layers, textures, and shapes until you get it just right. I love the look of all-white monochrome and will definitely be sporting it all summer long, but today I went with pink to match my amazing new She + Lo crossbody bag. No matter what I'm wearing I love that this bag brings a pop of color to my ensemble!
I mentioned this last week but I'd really love to meet you all and talk all things fashion and handbags, so if you live in the Hawaii area, be sure to stop by the She + Lo event on June 6th from 2 – 4 p.m. at Nordstrom Ala Moana Center. The designers Sheila Nazarian and Laura Darrah will be there too and it should be a really fun event.

There have been longer sieges, there have been ones involving bigger armies and worse slaughter, but none have been so dramatic and consequential as the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
The siege didn't last very long- just 53 days- and the armies numbered perhaps 50,000 Turks and 7,000 defenders. But it while it lasted, the whole world held its breath. And when it was over, the world had changed forever.
Why was it so important? Partly it was symbolic. The Roman Empire had stood for 1500 years, its capital first in Rome, then Constantinople. For half that time, the city had been the front line against Islam, enduring two terrible sieges in the 7th and 8th centuries that had turned back the Mohammedan tide.
Constantinople was, quite simply, the greatest and most fabled city in the world with walls impregnable to assault. But by 1450, once mighty Rome was reduced to a single city with a population reduced from half a million to 50,000, its palaces and churches crumbling and much of the land within its walls given over to field and orchard. Worse, cannon had been invented and they were getting bigger every year. Constantinople could no longer depend on its walls for protection.
Then there was the ambition of kings. The Koran had called for the fall of Constantinople and the new, unpopular 19 year-old Sultan, Mehmed II, badly needed a victory to secure his throne. Meanwhile, the Roman Empire had produced one of its greatest emperors in its hour of need: Constantine XI, a man determined to win or die.
The siege was presaged by three actions by Mehmed that broadcast his ambition. First, he built a castle on the Bosporos, nicknamed 'Throat-cutter', that sealed off Constantinople from supplies from the north. Next, he built a navy (helped by the Venetians who'd never let religion get in the way of profit). Finally, he commissioned two of the biggest cannon ever cast from the Hungarian gunsmith Orban, who'd first offered his services to Constantine but been sent away due to lack of funds. When the castle, ships and cannon were ready, Mehmed marched on Constantinople, pitching his tent outside its walls on April 2nd. 1453.
Constantine, meanwhile, had spent the winter buying in food from what was left of the empire and calling on the Christian powers for help. One man in particular answered the call: Giovanni Giustriniani Longo, a Genoese knight from the island of Chios, who raised an army of 600 mercenaries at his own expense. He was appointed commander of the city's defence.
The siege itself was dramatic. The Turks made several determined assaults on the walls while its huge cannon blew great holes in them. But the attacks were beaten back every time and the walls repaired nightly by the women and children of the city, even the monks helping. The Turks dug tunnels to undermine the walls, but these were intercepted and destroyed. When the city was getting short of food, three Genoese round ships fought off the Turkish fleet to creep behind the safety of the chain strung across the mouth of the Golden Horn.
With his army despairing, Mehmed realised he needed to do something daring. So he built a road from the Sea of Marmara to the Golden Horn, then carried his galleys over it to face much the weaker sea walls. From then on, Constantinople was properly surrounded. Its fate was sealed.
The end came on the night of 29th May when the Turks made an all-out assault on the city walls. They broke through and, in the vicious close-quarter fighting, Giustiniani Longo was mortally wounded. Seeing this, the defenders broke and ran. The last Emperor of Rome died on the walls, fighting to the last in his white armour.
The sack of Constantinople went on for two days and the slaughter was very great. At last Mehmed brought it to a halt and made the city the new capital of the Ottoman Empire.
It's difficult to overstate the effect on Christian Europe. This was seen as the great battle between good and evil (Constantinople perhaps providing the inspiration for Tolkein's Minas Tirith, the Turks changed to Orcs), and it did seem that evil had triumphed. Not much stood between Islam and world domination.
In fact, of course, it was the start of the modern age. The fall of Constantinople closed much of the land trade routes to the east, so Europe started to look for new, sea-borne routes and new markets. The great age of Portuguese and Spanish discovery started in the second half of the 15th century and led directly to the age of European supremacy.
So we have much to thank the Romans for beyond aqueducts and films about gladiators. Perhaps its greatest glory came at its end.

East Durham College Far From Home!
Thu, 16/05/2019 - 09:14
Creative Industries students from East Durham College are off for a spell-binding trip to London this week, as they head out on a special trip supported by the NECOP fund to give the learners participating an increased awareness and understanding of the higher education opportunities available to them.
The North East Collaborative Outreach Programme (NECOP) is a consortia of all of the universities and colleges in the North East region. The colleges and universities are working together to support young people in the North East think about their futures and how higher education can help them reach their goals.
On the 15th of May the students will be performing their music live in the capital at the Luna Lounge with their fellow music students from Epping Forest College. The following day the learners will be visiting the Museum of London to see the "Beasts of London Exhibition". The Exhibition has been created by learners from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After visiting the multimedia exhibition learners will then visit Guildhall School to meet the students who created to the exhibition to discuss the work and what it is like to study in London. The trip will be concluded with a trip to the Warner Brothers Studio on the 16th of May to see the Harry Potter Tour before heading home to the North East.
Student Jack Jacomb said "I am really excited to see the exhibitions and chat with the students from Epping Forest College and Guildhall School about their experiences. It really helps me to make sense and decide what to do next rather than just looking at a load of prospectuses".
Chris English, Director of Curriculum, also added "Our Creative Industries Department is exceptional. The students and staff all work incredibly hard through the academic year, often behind the scenes when everyone else has gone home, so it is wonderful that they are able to have access to such a quality learning experience. The trip is evidence of the huge range of employment opportunities available in the sector and it is really important that our learners can see the potential routes available to them".

Senate rejects House changes to Houston pension bill
Senator saysHouse-approvedamendmentsare too costly
AUSTIN - The Texas Senate on Wednesday refused to concur with House-passed amendments to a reform bill designed to resolve financial problems for Houston's pension system.
Sen. Joan Huffman, a Houston Republican who is the author of the legislation, said the House changes would be too costly and would derail a tentative agreement brokered by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
Huffman, saying the passage of the bill "is absolutely essential to the city's future," said one of the House amendments alone would add an additional $26.7 million to the cost of the reforms, an unaffordable amount.
Huffman was appointed chair for Senate negotiators assigned to negotiate a final version of the bill, joined by Sens. Jane Nelson, Charles Schwertner, Kelly Hancock and Carlos Uresti.
House conferees have yet to be named.
Once the final version of the bill is negotiated by the House and Senate conferees, it will go back to both legislative chambers for final approval.
Earlier in the day, Huffman said she planned to strip the House amendments from the bill. The House author and likely House conferee, Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Canton, said "that sounds like a good plan," when asked what he might do if a conference committee was formed.

Several key leaders of the Cree Nation, including Grand Chief Abel Bosum, came together Saturday to deliver a powerful public message of acceptance to two-spirited members of their communities.
"We all know that people of different sexual and gender identities have always been part of our story," Bosum told attendees at the Cree-organized conference.
"I believe our inclusiveness and our diversity … includes all our Eenouch/Eeyouch, whether they call themselves straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, or two-spirited."
The Two-Spirited Community Support Conference was held in Montreal on February 16 and 17.
"Two-spirited" is used by some Indigenous people to describe someone who has both a masculine and a feminine spirit.
Bosum's message had never before been uttered publicly by a James Bay Cree grand chief, according to conference organizer Mathias (Maloose) Jolly, adding it's a message young Cree who might be questioning their sexuality desperately need to hear.
"When I was a child I never heard any of my leaders say, 'It's OK you are two-spirited,'" said Jolly, 39, who now lives in Montreal.
"This is very important because hearing your own leader accept you is something we want to hear. Never in my life did I ever believe they would even acknowledge my invitation [to the conference]. It's a big deal for everybody in Eeyou Istchee."
High suicide rates
A 2012 report by the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) into suicide prevention said that suicide rates among Indigenous two-spirited people in Canada aren't known, but are higher than among heterosexual Indigenous people.
Suicide rates for First Nations people are at least twice as high as the general Canadian population. The NAHO report also pointed out that two-spirited people were respected leaders in their communities prior to contact with Europeans and colonization.
Bella M. Petawabano, chairperson of the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay (CBHSSJB), was another prominent Cree leader who spoke at the weekend convention.
"We all know that homophobia, biphobia and transphobia is still strong in most of our communities," Petawabano said. "This needs to change."
Petawabano was recognized by conference organizers as an ally to LGBTQ and two-spirited people in Cree communities.
Petawabano shared the story of how her household in Mistissini was a safe place for people to go, and how her daughters would bring home two-spirited friends who were struggling.
"There were a few times in the summer when someone [would bring] in a friend saying, 'We found him or her at the river, wanting to drown themselves.' That's how it was," said Petawabano.
Petawabano hopes to create youth clinics across the Cree territory as safe spaces for the two-spirited community. She also pledged to create a discrimination and bullying-free work environment at the health board.
"[Cree communities] still have a long way to go, but I believe we are moving in the right direction," she said.
Speak out and stand up
Kathleen Wootton, chairperson of the Cree School Board, attended all the weekend workshops, and said she'll take back what she learned to build better support systems for two-spirited people in Eeyou Istchee's schools.
"In our schools and in our education system I hope we can be more open-minded in terms of providing the emotional support our youth need," Wootton said.
All three leaders expressed a desire for two-spirited people to feel accepted and needed by their nation, and to fully manifest their talents to help build the Cree Nation.
Jolly, the conference organizer, said it's important for his people to publicly speak out and stand up.
"In the past we used to do [this conference] in a discreet fashion, to avoid bullying from the public," said Jolly. "For the first time we did it openly, we publicized it."
Jolly would like to see the gathering grow into a regional meeting to include other First Nations.

09 Jan Join Us On A Journey For The Best Coffee Cup Around. Direct Trade 1 Fair Trade 0.
There is the classic coffee trade focused on the lowest price and leaving producers underprivileged, then there is Fair Trade that already provides them with a certain security, and finally Direct Trade that promotes single producers to well-deserved business partners and along with the term "Third wave of coffee" focuses on high-quality coffee, also called Specialty coffee.
Since we started experimenting with Specialty coffee, there has always been a revelation of some sorts, lingering to feed our curiosity. Coffee cupping event hosted by Kaschk was a greasy experience in that measure. This time it was The Collaborative Coffee Source presenting a variety of tastes from their coffee repertoire, directly purchased from the producers.
The venue itself deserves a brief introduction. Kaschk is a craft beer-o-rama and a coffee joint with nordic roots, neatly upping the hip-meter on the otherwise uninteresting east part of heavily car polluted Torstrasse in Berlin. Apart from their menu of wine-strong beer, during the day, Kaschk serves free-refill filter coffee to the ever present digital entrepreneurs and take-away. One of Kaschk's main interior dominants, a sturdy wooden table, was on an August afternoon occupied by coffee samples presented by Alex from The Collaborative Coffee Source (CCS).
CCS is a great match for Highvisioned, because they push the limits of Fair Trade to another level. CCS cooperates with each producer directly, treating them as rightful business partners. On the other side, Fair Trade (here meaning the trade mark) obliges producers to be a part of cooperatives, thus creating borders and shifting benefits from them as individuals. For a comparison, Duane Sorenson, the founder of the Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Portland, in 2007 directly traded a coffee lot from Marcio Benjamín Peralta Paguaga's farm in Nicaragua, earning the farm $47.06 per pound. Fair Trade's minimum price is $1.40 per pound.
Could you briefly introduce yourself? What are you currently passionate about?
All my life I've had many opportunities to travel. Flavor being one of my biggest passions in life, I've enjoyed being able to taste what the world has to offer. The complexity and variety of flavors, all the interesting combinations possible, along with a flavor's ability to mutate into something completely different over time. Coffee is never just coffee; just as wine is never just wine. There are passionate and skilled people involved in the making of both and when a craftsperson makes something, it will always have a unique character.
What is the role of CCS and what is the company's vision?
In my career as a coffee professional, I have the most experience being a barista. Being behind the bar, it ́s always been interesting to see people's perception of coffee. Whether it's people that don't care, or people that appreciate the work put into brewing a coffee. Once I started to work with importing green coffee, I began to see that my barista experience only scratched the surface of what specialty coffee really is. In understanding this, I can say that Collaborative Coffee Source (CCS) has many roles.
The first is changing people's understanding of coffee, in other words, to get everyone to understand that coffee not only comes from a farm and its farmer, but that all coffees have to be handled by a large number of people before it can possibly end up in a cup.
Secondly, CCS is about facilitating the best relationships possible amongst farmers, exporters, warehouses and roasters. One of our main visions has always been to help create long-term relationships that truly supports sustainable specialty coffee projects through finding the best producers out there.

What are the problems on the current coffee market and how is CCS trying to make a change? Do you see an increasing number of coffee roasters and producers adopting Direct Trade principles?
We see an increasing number of roasters wanting to do "direct trade". But with this kind of purchasing, there comes a lot of responsibility and work that most people aren't aware of. The first reality is that along with having to travel long distances to find the best coffee, one must invest in getting to know the people behind the coffee. Can they deliver reliably great coffee? Even if one does find a great producer, it almost doesn't matter unless a good relationship is also in place with an exporter that can handle the coffee with care so that it departs origin in pristine condition. As well, are the producer and exporter willing to cooperate with a single roaster? In most cases a small roaster cannot purchase the volume required for direct export to make logistic and economic sense.
Once these key relationships are established at origin, the buyer's task is to screen/cup through (sometimes) several hundreds of coffees to find the right one(s) over the course of several cupping sessions. And then after all of this, one needs to follow up on all the paperwork, booking of various transporting (trucks, container, etc.) and finally, once at port, the buyer has to be able to handle customs and transportation. Throughout these very general steps, anything can happen. What roasters end up realizing is that direct trade is costly and not always sustainable. With today's focus on global warming, it just does not make sense to send a container with just one or two microlots. This is why companies like ours are necessary to the specialty coffee trade: we can establish viable relationships while finding exceptional coffees and can then handle all the work that is necessary in moving coffees to the point where a roaster can stick their hands into those fresh green coffee beans. Hopefully we are also minimizing environmental impact and financial risk for everyone involved, in the meantime.
One final point about the role of an importer in relation to quality: In some direct trade cases, roasters receive coffee that degrades rapidly. This roaster then loses the point of buying specialty coffee.
Do you see that there is still something there to improve in the way coffee is traded? What do you imagine the next evolution step towards more sustainability, transparency and fairness would be like?
In my opinion, specialty coffee has come far with the last decade, but we are only just starting to see the possibilities of how quality can be controlled. Whether it is considering the process of handpicking of ripe cherries, pulping using color sorting machines, the endless ways one can dry and store parchment, or the roasting process and optimization of each and every brew, specialty coffee has come a long way. As well, we can see an increasing number of farmers recognizing the benefits of producing specialty coffee. And this is a very recent phenomenon on the producing side of specialty coffee.

How do you approach coffee producers; what is the usual trigger to persuade them to start cooperating with you?
From experience, we know that we must often (though not always) rely on the exporter to recommend the next producer we might partner with, whether it's a farm or a washing station. Exporters know best. For example, Benjamin Paz of San Vicente in Santa Barbara, Honduras is a great example of an exporter who understands what it takes for a producer to make specialty coffee and as a result, he has introduced us to the best producers in Honduras.
What is the CCS's biggest success story and the biggest failure?
We have a lot of success stories to share. In addition to being amongst the first to discover Santa Barbara as a micro-region producing excellent coffee, we were also fortunate to be amongst the first to discover and promote Panama geisha. We also have a strong relation to Heleanna of Moplaco in Ethiopia and Long Miles Coffee in Burundi. Coffee producing origins are complex in general, but this is especially true in East Africa. We believe these two partners represent amongst the very best of what each origin has to offer, but being one of the first to discover under appreciated producers and coffees can (and usually does) come with some risks. During our first year of purchasing Burundi coffee we learned about the challenges related to the potato defect syndrome. This was and continues to be a major problem for Burundi coffee, and in our first year of importing from there, we had to figure out how to deal with the defect. We also had to learn how to teach roasters how to manage it. Fortunately for everyone, technology is beginning to impact Burundi coffee production and with the very best of producers, defects have begun to be sorted out much more effectively and vigilantly.
CCS is dedicated to being a transparent company for everyone throughout the coffee chain. When visiting producing partners, we always try to understand the farmer's vision and way of doing business. In the end, however, flavor and quality are everything to us. With this always being a focus, we have managed to cultivate a good reputation in the specialty coffee industry amongst farmers and roasters who want to work with us.

Camera Work
Camera Work is an American journal dedicated to art and photography published by Alfred Stieglitz in New York between 1903 and 1917. Fifty regular quarterly issues and three special numbers were printed in editions of 1,000 copies and distributed to varying numbers of subscribers. Even though Camera Work has become an icon of photographic history, it has never been properly investigated with advanced methodological and technological approaches. This is certainly due to photographic historians' verdict of pictorialism—the style propagated in the pages of Camera Work as epitomizing art photography—as an outmoded "ism."
The research project Camera Work – Inside/Out: Past, Present and Future of an International Medium of Art and Photography at the Institute of Art History of the University of Zurich aims to identify and develop innovative tools of the digital humanities in order to thoroughly investigate Camera Work in an international context and on a global scale. A group of researchers is building expertise in advanced digitalization and its research use in cooperation with the University Library of Heidelberg. The aim is to develop technically and structurally sophisticated tools for further in-depth research on the topic of Camera Work and to work out concepts for a related virtual laboratory as a dynamic work environment for future research and virtual exhibitions.
Currently, the research group is quantifying and structuring all volumes of Camera Work in a dynamic database to create a comprehensive and detailed visualization of the journal's texts and images. The complete content including images, texts, and advertisements is being catalogued in a systematic effort to analyze the international structure of Camera Work—namely, the networks of persons, pictures, and materials that were involved in the international transfer of knowledge, and the history of exhibitions and collections connected with Camera Work. All essays, reviews, poems, and other forms of text in the journal, will be searchable as individual bibliographic entries within an international library system for the very first time. Furthermore, every effort is undertaken in order to carefully represent the look of the photogravures, mainly printed on Japanese tissue and mounted on textured papers, and to register the current condition of the original object.
The long-term goal of this project is to create a basis for investigating the international importance and function of Camera Work in the field of theory and history of photography of the 20th and 21st century. Central issues will include questions concerning the types of paper, layout, and printing techniques used and the journal's position in the context of a globally active art and photography scene.
To discuss these and other questions, the research group at Zurich initiated the Camera Work Colloquium (CWC) in 2016 to present lectures, workshops, panel discussions, book presentations and more on the topic of the journal. The CWC participates in the international debate around theoretical approaches concerning art, photography and, more importantly, the overlapping of diverse media, subjects and theories of art in a global context. All events are open to the public unless stated otherwise.

Just two years after the Texas GOP passed a resolution in support of a national guest-worker program, Republican activists are hoping to scrap the plank at this week's state party convention.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that several delegates have complained that the provision amounts to "amnesty" and doesn't send the message that "illegal immigration is illegal and shouldn't be tolerated."
While Texas Republicans have pledged to focus on outreach to immigrant communities, their gubernatorial nominee, Attorney General Greg Abbott, has pushed anti-immigrant policies and once described South Texas as a "Third World country."
The GOP nominee for lieutenant governor, state Sen. Dan Patrick, has railed against the "illegal invasion," linking undocumented immigrants to rape, murder and terrorism. He also accused immigrants of "bringing Third World diseases with them."
"They threaten your family. They threaten your life. They threaten your business. They threaten our state," he said.
One prominent Latino Republican activist blasted Patrick and dubbed him "the Pete Wilson of Texas," adding: "I don't know of one Hispanic Republican who isn't appalled by Dan Patrick."
Among those advocating for the return to more hardline language is the Texas Eagle Forum, the group led by former state GOP chairwoman Cathie Adams. Its proposed resolution on "amnesty" explicitly opposes reform efforts:
WHEREAS, The United States takes in more legal immigrants than any nation in the world;
WHEREAS, according to recent estimates, 11-20 million people are in the U.S. illegally; and WHEREAS, illegal employment and illegal immigration have a negative effect on American workers actively seeking jobs, and taxpayers who are saddled with paying illegals' healthcare, education and welfare benefits;
WHEREAS, President Obama and many Congressional leaders are calling for amnesty for the 11-20 million illegal immigrants, thereby negating millions of immigrants who have been patiently waiting to be admitted legally to the United States.
THEREFORE BE IT IS RESOLVED that we reject any and all calls for blanket or incremental amnesty and encourage the enforcement of existing state and federal laws regarding border security, national security, immigration and employment.
Adams is especially worried that immigration reform will bring about the End Times:

Update: COVID-19 pandemic
Learning to learn from an exceptional situation. In the past few weeks, the Covid-19 pandemic has changed our world. As most of the activities of 'normal' life everywhere are disrupted, so the Daylighting Rivers project is as well. At the same time, this situation gives us the opportunity to take note of a new reality and to enhance our environmental awareness. Therefore, although it is not mandatory, we invite participants in the competition to include a reflection on the implications of the pandemic – and the consequent changes in human activity – for the environmental systems they are studying.
Secondary schools from Erasmus+ Programme eligible countries (NB: Programme and Partner countries only) are invited to apply for the scientific competition "Schools in action for DAYLIGHTING RIVERS!"
"Daylighting Rivers" acknowledges that due to accelerated urban development, many rivers have been diverted or covered, in favour of urban infrastructures and new housing developments. This has increased the risks of flooding, led to the loss of biodiversity along the streams, increased water pollution and impaired other types of community services connected to the flowing water. The process by which culverted or covered rivers are uncovered and re-exposed to the environment is known as 'daylighting'.
In our educational context, "daylighting" also means discovering our rivers – knowing where they flow from and to, their characteristics, the threats they face, and the services and benefits they provide. At the same time, 'daylighting' refers to raising awareness – in terms of youth consciousness, and inspiring global action for sustainability among those who will determine our collective future.
"Daylighting Rivers" is launching the European Competition for the best "Daylighting Rivers Design Project" presented in the form of a "Daylighting Rivers Location-Based Game". The competition is addressed to classes of secondary schools (students of age 11-19) and focused on challenging issues related to urban rivers – with a special emphasis (although not exclusively) on those rivers which have been covered over and may be candidates for "daylighting".
Who can participate in the Daylighting Rivers competition?
The competition is open to teams of secondary school students and teachers or other adults who would act as referents for the group. Participation is free of charge.
The adult (teacher or other supervisor) will be in charge of registering the group and submitting the competition entry.
Complete the Registration form by October 30th, 2020 with the with the team representative's contact details (see https://forms.gle/p9vnUuLq2r4txq8z7).
Once registered, your team will be requested to submit the competition materials by the 20th of November 2020 using the submission form.
(if you are not able to access the forms, you can contact and send the materials by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com).
Personal common data (name, surname and e-mail) will be used only by the person responsible of the competition, to communicate with the registered participant.
The official language of the competition and the final event is English, therefore the material must be submitted in English.
A.Design project outline (investigate issues of a river in or near your town/city) – prepared by the group of students
Instructions (Use 1000-1500 words of text and map, with photos and/or other illustration media):
- Name a river (or stream) in or near your town/city, which you would like to base your project on. Show the river and its surrounding area in a map (you may use Google Maps or any other mapping medium/software you prefer.
- Describe the problem you would like to address, connected with the river and affecting your town/city e.g. the river is covered resulting in serious environmental problems, or the river is due to be covered or caged, or the river is flooding and various proposal are considered in relation to changing its route or deepening the riverbed or any other problem is about to bring an intervention in the natural shape of the river.
- Describe the positive and negative consequences of the changes that are foreseen or planned along the river. Visit Daylighting Rivers website daylightingrivers.com and search independently for relevant bibliography to learn more about this. You may ask your teacher/supervisor for guidance.
- Put together a proposal about how you can address the problem, what you need to do, where this needs to be done along the river. Give as much detail as possible and indicate you proposals on the map.
- Explain why your proposal will be beneficial for your town/city, its environment and its people.
- Name the main "actors" in your proposal, e.g. experts on the river environment, the local mayor and City Council, the people of the town, the school, the environmental association of the town, bird lovers, fishermen, town planners etc.
B. A Location-based game (LBG) created by the group of students
Construct a location based game (LBG) to show what the options are in implementing your proposal and what is the role of the various "actors" in it. Consult the Guidelines of the Competition about LBGs and seek the help of your ICT teacher or an ICT expert. The Location Based Game should include details about how to play it (make sure that that the game is public and the game function "to be played anywhere" is enabled).
You may Use the Helpdesk for clarifications throughout the process of constructing the game.
C.A summary report describing the learning process – to be prepared by the referent adult, teacher or supervisor
We recommend that you use the learning materials developed by the Daylighting Rivers project. (Click on your language to access an example of learning unit: Italian, Greek, or Spanish). You may choose two units, according to the theme selected by the students and provide the information necessary to students through these. However, you may develop your own course of study, using the Inquiry-based Learning methodology. In your report, please indicate whether you used any of the Daylighting Rivers Learning Units or you developed your own learning material based on IBL. In your report you are invited to include information on:
- Engagement of the students by the teacher/supervisor (method of communication, geographical context and issues covered)
- Hypothesis, questions raised
- Investigation/practical activities carried out (e.g. field work, laboratory experiment, use of specific tools)
- Conclusions and achieved awareness
- Dissemination of the results (e.g. at science fairs, public events) and involvement of local institutions, if any.
Have a look on the website, the learning experiences and materials that have been developed and tested by the pilot classes during the 2018-19 school year. However, other Inquiry Based Learning experiences are also welcome (IBL – see the learning methodology of Daylighting Rivers for reference).
The teacher's/supervisor's report should also include an evaluation of the learning outcomes of the learning process leading to the creation of the Daylighting Rivers game. You are requested to deliver a questionnaire to students at the end of the process (the questionnaire is to be found in the link https://www.daylightingrivers.com/evaluation/) and include the findings of the questionnaires in your report, together with your answers to a questionnaire addressed to teachers (see link https://www.daylightingrivers.com/evaluation/).

WHAT is NEW! – Effects of the pandemic shutdown on rivers
In recent weeks we have been observing an uncharacteristic 'invasion' of urban spaces by a variety of flora and fauna – and looking at nature, we are learning that exceptional events may have unexpected and possibly long-lasting effects.
Within the framework of the competition, we invite participants to include a reflection on what they have observed or perceived during the time of the pandemic, in relation to the topic of the competition.
This is not a compulsory activity; participants are free to decide whether or not to include this reflection in the products of the competition, or to create an additional product. The format for this is flexible, and may include text, photos, slide presentations, drawings, etc. These additional products will not be evaluated by the jury, but they will be organized in a collection of products that will be published and promoted.
The competition products will be evaluated by a jury of experts, who will select three finalist teams – and representatives of these winning teams will travel* to Florence, Italy to be officially recognized at the Final Conference of the project (December 1-2, 2020).
The jury will consist of members external to the project, who will assess the competition entries using an objective method with criteria and weighted scores. The results of the evaluation will be announced approximately on the 30th of November 2020. See below the criteria for the evaluation of each category of product.
* Travel expenses for two or three representatives of the winner finalist teams will be paid by the Daylighting Rivers project, although the project organizers reserve the right to decide how many individuals per team will be funded depending on the price of travel and accommodation.
Pre-registration deadline: October 30th, 2020
Final submission of materials: November 20th, 2020
Announcement of the finalist teams: November 30th, 2020
Final award in Florence: December 1-2, 2020

What are the criteria for judging the winners of the Daylighting Rivers European scientific Competition?
A score is provided for each criteria used to assess any product. Criteria, score and weight are indicated in the following tables.
Point/score: The number of points include the weighting of the model (original assessment of point range x weighting = points. Example: clarity – Point (7) x weighting factor 1,5 = 10,5 points).

Ohhhhh yes!!! I love it!!!!!
When we first received the Look Book for Banana Republic's current collection, I was ecstatic to get the new product in-store. Although it wasn't a huge departure from seasons past, Marissa Webb's influence as the new Creative Director was most def on display (her new stuff will be in for Spring). All of the classic pieces are still there, but they've been injected with a little modernity. More texture, slimmer silhouettes, and an aesthetic that's a little more street style makes it covetable: you can easily weave items from the collection into your current wardrobe so that you can stay true to your style, but update it a bit.
I got to play dress-up with my co-worker Nikki and style 3 different looks featuring some of our favorite pieces from the new collection (note: a few items are sold out ONLINE, so I linked to similar pieces in those instances. Check with your local BR bc they may still have items in stock):
LOOK ONE: Elevated Denim
Floral Scroll Blouse + Coated Twill Skinny Ankle Pant
I love patterned silk blouses. They go with just about everything, and they're a quick way to add some interest to your outfit without going too outside the box. The Coated Twill Pants are similar to denim, but the coating gives them a little more structure, making them a piece that will transition easily during the week for work (just top with a blazer) to weekend cocktails.
To get more wear out of the pieces, wear the blouse w/a suit, and pair the pants w/a slouchy sweater like this + riding boots once it starts to cool.
LOOK TWO: Sneaky Brights + Mixed Textures
Faux leather shell + Silk Popover Blouse + Patterned Sloan Pant
If you're afraid to mix prints, another way to get a similar effect is by mixing textures. This cream faux leather shell is a strong piece on its own bc of the textured detail, but when fitted over a silky blouse (instead of the de rigueur crisp button down) and paired w/a small houndstooth print + lean cardie, the look is less classic prep and more new school chic. A large quilted tote seals the deal!
To get more wear out of the pieces, wear the long and lean cardigan with boyfriend jeans + Superga® , and keep the texture party going by wearing the popover blouse under a leather moto jacket with leggings + booties.
LOOK THREE: Quintessential LBD
Roland Mouret Lace-Sleeve Dress
Life comes at you fast, so it's a must that every woman have a LBD (little black dress) in her arsenal. Dinner parties, work meetings, funerals, you name it, there WILL come a time that you will need a LBD, so one in a fitted silhouette with lace detail keeps you from blending in with the crowd.
To get more wear out of the pieces: a no-brainer is to mix up your baubles, but a styling tip I learned a few summers ago is to top slim fitting dresses with a tee or pullover sweater + a thin belt to the give the illusion of wearing 2 pieces instead of 1. No one will ever be the wiser!
To see #thenewBR and all that the collection has to offer (seriously, there are tons), visit www.bananarepublic.com. All Shoes + Accessories are from Banana Republic as well.

The Mind
Education And The Training Of The Nervous System
Fortunately, many of the best opportunities for sensory and motor
training do not depend on schools or courses of study. The world is full
of stimuli to our senses and to our social natures; and our common lives
are made up of the responses we make to these stimuli,--the movements,
acts and deeds by which we fit ourselves into our world of environment.
Undoubtedly the most rapid and vital progress we make in our development
r /> is accomplished in the years before we have reached the age to go to
school. Yet it is the business of education to see that we do not lack
any essential opportunity, to make sure that necessary lines of stimuli
or of motor training have not been omitted from our development.
EDUCATION TO SUPPLY OPPORTUNITIES FOR STIMULUS AND RESPONSE.--The great
problem of education is, on the physical side, it would seem, then, to
provide for ourselves and those we seek to educate as rich an
environment of sensory and social stimuli as possible; one whose
impressions will be full of suggestions to response in motor activity
and the higher thought processes; and then to give opportunity for
thought and for expression in acts and deeds in the largest possible
number of lines. And added to this must be frequent and clear sensory
and motor recall, a living over again of the sights and sounds and odors
and the motor activities we have once experienced. There must also be
the opportunity for the forming of worthy plans and ideals. For in this
way the brain centers which were concerned in the original sensation or
thought or movement are again brought into exercise, and their
development continued. Through recall and imagination we are able not
only greatly to multiply the effects of the immediate sensory and motor
stimuli which come to us, but also to improve our power of thinking by
getting a fund of material upon which the mind can draw.
ORDER OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.--Nature has set the order in
which the powers of the nervous system shall develop. And we must follow
this order if we would obtain the best results. Stated in technical
terms, the order is from fundamental to accessory. This is to say that
the nerve centers controlling the larger and more general movements of
the body ripen first, and those governing the finer motor adjustments
later. For example, the larger body muscles of the child which are
concerned with sitting up come under control earlier than those
connected with walking. The arm muscles develop control earlier than the
finger muscles, and the head and neck muscles earlier than the eye
muscles. So also the more general and less highly specialized powers of
the mind ripen sooner than the more highly specialized. Perception and
observation precede powers of critical judgment and association. Memory
and imagination ripen earlier than reasoning and the logical ability.
This all means that our educational system must be planned to follow the
order of nature. Children of the primary grades should not be required
to write with fine pencils or pens which demand delicate finger
adjustments, since the brain centers for these finer cooerdinations are
not yet developed. Young children should not be set at work
necessitating difficult eye control, such as stitching through
perforated cardboard, reading fine print and the like, as their eyes
are not yet ready for such tasks. The more difficult analytical problems
of arithmetic and relations of grammar should not be required of pupils
at a time when the association areas of the brain are not yet ready for
this type of thinking. For such methods violate the law of nature, and
the child is sure to suffer the penalty.

CBRE Global Investors, represented by international real estate adviser Savills, has sold Yorkshire Bank's headquarters in Leeds to a private Spanish investor for £16m.
The five-floor city centre property offers 76,344 sq. ft. (7,092 sq. m) of office space and has been let in its entirety to the bank since it was built in 1980. The annual rental income is £1.19 million, with around nine years unexpired on the current lease.
The office space is based at Twenty Merrion Way and is close to the First Direct Arena and Merrion House, which is being redeveloped as a 170,000 sq. ft. (15,793 sq. m) headquarters for Leeds City Council.
Simon Lister, investment director at Savills, said, "This asset combines a secure income with excellent development prospects and an integral position in a booming area of Leeds city centre. We received significant interest from both overseas and domestic investors, and are very pleased with the strong sale price achieved."

Taryn's Wreckreation Guide: Visit The Haunted Woods!
I absolutely LOVE the feeling of being scared! Scary movies, haunted houses, paranormal activity... I love it all. And as an EXTREMELY jumpy person, I get scared at least 3 times a day, on average. Most of the time, I'm just sitting in my office, when all of a sudden someone comes to ask me a question and BAM - I'm jumping out of my chair and shrieking. Yeah, that's really all it takes. Now, imagine how someone like me reacts to walking through the Haunted Woods at Maris Farms and running into this guy...
The tour lasts about 35 minutes, and TRUST ME - you'll be tense at every turn, start to finish! From creepy barns and cornstalks to a full cast of characters that will make you scream and run, this is truly a real-life interpretation of the scary movies you've been exposed to. It's like The Ring meets It, then has a baby with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre before having an affair with 28 Days Later. Did you follow that? And can you handle it?!
If you haven't been yet this season, there's still time to get in a good scare! And make sure to grab discounted admission through RockPerks.com. They have showings this weekend and next weekend, so check the schedule and plan your trip to Buckley! Thank you Maris Farms for another incredible season of haunting!
Happy Adventuring,
Taryn Daly
