"To the Least of My People"
Now that Adam's legs worked,
he wanted to use them all the time.
He trotted around the castle,
then when Victor and Igor
went to the village for shopping,
Adam scampered through the square.
Halfway through July,
Victor looked around to find
that Adam was nowhere in sight.
"Igor, is Adam with you?" Victor asked.
"No, I thought he was with you,"
Igor replied, turning to scan the square.
"He was a minute ago, but now he's not,"
Victor said. He drummed his fingers
against his thigh. "We need to find him."
"All right, let's split up," Igor said.
"I'll stay here in case Adam comes back.
You go sweep the square for him."
So Victor strode swiftly around the square,
looking everywhere for the toddler.
There was no sign of Adam,
and he hadn't returned to Igor either.
Victor made another loop, this time
asking everyone if they had seen Adam.
Plenty of people had seen him earlier,
but nobody knew where he was now.
Everyone in the village knew them,
though, so other adults and older children
paused in their work to help search.
"Children wander," Dorottya warned Victor.
"Now that Adam can walk properly,
you've got to keep a sharp eye on him
to keep the boy out of trouble."
Soon Victor found himself
paired with Kálmán the priest,
looking in all the nooks and crannies
where a curious child might go.
Victor, who could stay perfectly calm
whilst someone's blood spurted into the air,
was starting to panic over his son's absence.
Furthermore Kálmán's murmured prayers
were beginning to get on Victor's nerves.
"Angels are not going to come down
from heaven and help us find Adam!"
the doctor finally snapped.
"Would you shut up and look for him?"
"I can pray and search at the same time,"
Kálmán said serenely. "Have faith;
someone will find Adam soon."
"I don't really -- I'm not --" Victor jittered.
"I mean, we go to church, but I don't --"
"... find much comfort in it?" Kálmán guessed
when Victor trailed off without finishing.
Victor gave a ragged nod. He couldn't help
remembering the endless arguments throughout
his childhood, about the inflexible truth of his flesh,
in which the parish priest had invariably sided
with Victor's parents over the truth of his heart.
His breath hitched, chest tightening
as he tried to find the right words.
Kálmán steered Victor to a nearby bench.
"Sit down for a moment and collect yourself,"
the priest advised. "You can't search
if you're too busy gasping for air."
Victor struggled to get his breath back.
His hands were shaking, so he
pressed them between his knees.
All he could think about was Adam
and not knowing where his son was.
"Give yourself a minute to rest," Kálmán said,
his hand a reassuring weight on Victor's shoulder.
"When you can focus again, we will go back
to searching for Adam. We will find him."
The familiar touch helped Victor center himself.
In fact, Kálmán was a lot more useful
than the other priests whom Victor had met.
"I hope so," Victor whispered.
He wished desperately that he could
take the kind of comfort in prayer
that other people seemed to find.
It was something he did
because it was expected,
not because it actually worked.
Kálmán patted his shoulder.
"It sounds to me as if the Church
may have let you down, my son,"
he said. "Is there anything I could do
to help you with that, now or later?"
Victor stifled a sob.
Why did God MAKE me like this?!
It wasn't the sort of thing he dared to say,
even to the kindly priest who was
bearing Victor's panic with such patience.
"Doubt it," Victor said. "I haven't ...
had very good experiences
with the Church and her priests."
The confession hurt.
It wasn't as if he hadn't tried.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Kálmán said.
"You know, it doesn't have to be
in the confessional proper, if
you just need someone to talk with."
"I'm not much for confessions,"
Victor said. Only when he was
truly desperate, like now,
things came spilling out that
he was liable to regret later.
"I don't think God cares much
for people like me."
"Now that is just not true,"
Kálmán said at once,
letting his arm slide down
from Victor's shoulder
to pull him into a real hug.
"God loves you very much."
"I can't imagine why."
"Victor, I've known you for
two years now," Kálmán said.
"You do far better at what
Jesus told us all to do than
most people who make a show
out of going to church."
Victor took a deep breath,
trying to clear his spinning head.
"I don't understand," he admitted.
"The righteous folk often wonder why
Jesus brings them into His fold," Kálmán said.
"For I was hungry, and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink.
I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
I was sick, and you took care of Me."
"But I've never met Jesus,"
protested Victor.
Kálmán chuckled, and patted him again.
"Do you know, that is exactly what
the righteous say in the Bible:
Lord, when did we see You hungry,
and feed You, or thirsty, and
give You something to drink?"
This story, so warmly told,
was sinking into Victor's bones
a lot better than anything
he'd ever heard in church.
"And what ... what did He say?"
Victor asked hesitantly.
"The Lord said to them,
Whatsoever you did
to the least of My people,
that you did also unto Me."
Kálmán said with a smile.
"So you see, Victor, you have
no reason to worry about
your place in God's heart.
He knows the truth about who
does His work in this world."
Victor had never thought of himself
as very godly, never imagined
that he might be the sort of person
with whom God could be pleased.
He thought about the work he did
for the people of the village.
It had not occurred to him that
taking care of sick people
might be service worthy of heaven.
The sermons he had heard at home
were all about avoiding sin,
although to be fair, Kálmán's
were rather different from those.
Victor simply hadn't paid
much attention, out of habit.
"Maybe I should start listening to
your sermons more closely," Victor said.
"Maybe you should," Kálmán said,
and then gave Victor a firm nudge.
"You seem more settled now.
Come, let us go find Adam."
"Do you think --" Victor said, because
the doubt was eating away at him,
"do you really think we will?"
"Of course we will," Kálmán assured him,
"because we won't stop looking until we do.
Prayer is no proof against sad or scary
things happening, just a reminder that
God is there to comfort us when we need Him."
Kálmán steered Victor back onto
the path they had established
for searching the village.
They asked the other searchers they passed,
and everyone exchanged news; it wasn't
rare for someone's child to go astray
and need people to find them.
"Thank you for sticking with me,"
Victor said, looking sidelong at Kálmán.
"I'm happy to help," the priest replied,
and then, "Look there! In the common meadow,
up on the back of that big brown plowhorse."
Victor looked, and sure enough, there was
a little clot of color on the horse's back,
just the same shade as Adam's shirt.
Victor loped down to the common meadow
where people could graze their horses
while they shopped in the village,
and there he found Adam perched
high on the back of the plowhorse.
How in the world had Adam
gotten up there in the first place?
Victor snatched his son off the horse
and scolded him for disappearing,
but was so glad to see Adam again
that he hadn't the heart to do it for long.
"See now, disaster averted," Kálmán said
as he ruffled Adam's silky hair.
Victor grinned with relief. "Yes, indeed,"
he said. "We'll see you in church on Sunday."
Igor came up then, alerted by the other searchers,
and tucked Adam firmly onto his own hip.
"What was that all about?" he wondered,
knowing that Victor was amiable enough
with Kálmán but not so fond of the church.
"Just counting my blessings," Victor said.
"Kálmán helped me keep my head together
while we were looking for Adam."
"Well, what did you expect?" Igor said.
"He's a good shepherd."
* * *
The title of this poem, and Kálmán's paraphrase within it, come from "The Sheep and the Goats" of Matthew 25: 35-40, also discussed here.
"Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me."
"'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' "
Around 25 months, toddlers often experience a surge of energy that sends them scampering and scrambling everywhere. It is a very common age for them to get lost. For Adam, he has just gotten his legs working, so of course he wants to try them out! The fact that it nearly gives his poor fathers a heart attack is just an unfortunate side effect.
It's normal, if nerve-wracking, for children to get lost. Know some ways to prevent it, or at least reduce the chances. There are tips for parents and for kids about getting lost. Parents should understand what steps to take in finding a lost child. The most important thing for everyone to learn is this: don't be ashamed of losing someone or getting lost. It's frustrating and embarrassing but it happens to everyone. Yelling at someone over it is really counterproductive. Me, I've always had a tendency to slip between universes. When I was young, I had little control over it and it was a damn nuisance; even now, my main way of not getting lost is hanging onto people I'm with, and even that doesn't always work. Seriously, some folks can NOT help getting separated from the group, you just have to learn to cope with it. If that's you too, or someone you know, you're not alone.
Panic attacks are now often thought of as part of a disorder, but really, most people have them occasionally in situations that are scary. (The disorder is when someone has them frequently and/or for no practical reason, enough to impair ordinary living.) Getting separated tends to be scary. Know how to help someone through a panic attack or cope with one of your own. Kálmán knows how to deal with this stuff because when you are a priest, you're the person people turn to when they are freaking out over something. You learn to cope, and to help them cope.
Religion can be helpful or harmful. Some people find no comfort in God when they are disdraught. For Victor, he grew up with a bad priest. Kálmán is a good priest, and does things very differently, which can be downright confusing if you are not used to it. The thing is, Kálmán isn't concerned about Victor's faith, but about helping Victor. There are ways to do that which are not dependent upon religion but upon friendship, compassion, and practicality. If you take good care of people, they're a lot more willing and able to follow you than if you just order them around.
"Why did God make me like this?" is a common cry from transgender or homosexual people, especially those mistreated by their family and/or clergy for who they are. Victor's crappy past makes him extremely anxious about this; he's not ready to talk about it yet, but he really really needs to because the pressure of holding it in is hurting him a lot.

There are currently about one million older adults residing in senior living communities across the United States, and it's predicted that number will double by 2030. As this trend continues, The Legacy Senior Communities wants to educate people about the health benefits senior living communities can offer.
Keep in mind that there are different types of senior living communities, such as standalone independent and assisted living residences, memory care communities, active adult complexes and more, and these different offerings may or may not have some of the benefits we're going to discuss. For our purposes today, we're mainly going to focus on the benefits of an independent living or assisted living community. However, many of these benefits will also apply to certain memory care and skilled nursing settings.
Here are 10 ways a senior living community can promote better health:
- Help with daily activities
It's estimated that more than one in ten people 75 years or older requires assistance with the activities of daily living, such as grooming and personal hygiene, dressing, toileting, etc. Thanks to the daily assistance of staff members, senior living communities reduce the burden and worry of family members while providing the resident with ongoing support.
- Care that is tailored to your individual needs
Many senior living communities offer different levels of care to meet the varying needs of residents. This is especially true of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) like The Legacy Willow Bend and The Legacy Midtown Park, which offer all levels of care on one campus.
While you may enter a community in independent living, you have the ability to easily move to a higher level of care (such as assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing) if the need arises, meaning you can always access the appropriate level of care.
- Better food, better nutrition
Poor nutrition is a far-reaching issue for senior adults, and it's a serious one. There are often several contributing factors to poor nutrition in older adults, and The Mayo Clinic highlights depression, difficulty cooking, and a poor understanding of the changing nutritional needs of the older population as the three main reasons why older adults' nutritional needs are frequently not met.
Poor nutrition can lead to a weakened immune system, which can open the door to a host of other problems. Improper nutrition is also associated with issues such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
The Legacy Senior Communities offers nutritious meals prepared by a professional staff, served in a variety of charming dining venues. We can also accommodate special dietary concerns, such as a need for low-sodium or diabetes-friendly diets.
- A feeling of community
Most people understand that personal connections with family and friends are major contributing factors to quality of life. These connections are critical for preventing depression, isolation, feelings of uselessness, etc. Being a part of a larger community, especially one with people who are close to the same age and ability levels, provides residents with plenty of opportunities to foster new friendships, while still remaining close to existing friends and family.
- Safe transportation
Although many older adults can drive safely, many find they need help with transportation for things such as doctors' appointments, shopping excursions, and other errands. Assistance with transportation allows residents to take care of their business while providing family members with peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are getting around safely.
- Staying active means staying healthy
At The Legacy Senior Communities, we provide our residents with a wide variety of activities, such as art classes, exercise programs, scheduled social gatherings and more. We believe everyone can find something they love, and by participating, they are also maintaining relationships, making new friends, and experiencing new things – all of which are critical for seniors and provide a higher quality of living.
- No maintenance, fewer worries
Maintaining a house, apartment or condominium can be difficult for older adults, especially if they need assistance with daily tasks. Home and lawn maintenance can contribute to stress and depression, and they greatly increase the risks of falls or other injuries. At The Legacy Senior Communities, all of our residences are maintenance free. Many communities (including ours) also offer attractive services, such as laundry and linen service, as well as housekeeping.
- Freedom of choice
For most older adults, the number one reported fear they have is a loss of independence. At The Legacy Senior Communities, we always make sure our residents know they are in charge of their lives regardless of the level of care they require. Residents choose when they want to get up for the day, when and what they want to eat, and what they want to do for the day.
- Technology for healthcare, entertainment and more
Technology is quickly becoming a major part of senior living, and it's being utilized in ways you might not expect. What you might anticipate is the technology surrounding things like electronic medical records, medication management, patient monitoring and other medical needs has vastly improved over the last few decades, and it has. These improvements translate into better efficiencies for the communities and better, more responsive medical care for residents.
What people don't always expect are the amazing things new technology brings to senior living, such as using online video conferencing platforms like Skype to communicate with distant family and friends, or seniors in memory care using virtual reality headsets to go on virtual vacations and spark memories that may have been forgotten for years. Technology also makes a difference with small touches, such as interactive video games like Wii Bowling that help seniors stay active and engaged and ride-share apps on smartphones that allow them to find transportation at their convenience.
- Peace of mind for all involved
The decision to make the move to senior living can be a tough one. Families often must balance challenging priorities, including the need to remain independent, help with daily tasks, socialization, budgeting and financial issues, and more. That's why at The Legacy Senior Communities, we have staff on hand to work through these issues with prospective residents and their families.
Senior care through The Legacy Senior Communities
At The Legacy Willow Bend (our Life Care Retirement community in Plano, Texas) and The Legacy Midtown Park (our Rental Retirement community coming in 2020) our experienced, compassionate staff is committed to providing our residents with the best care possible. We also offer residents a wide variety of dining options, activities (planned and unplanned), social events, access to technology and much more to ensure that they are living fulfilling lives.
If you would like to learn more about The Legacy Senior Communities, or if you have any questions about senior living options in general, you can call our senior living experts at (972) 468-6160 or contact us online and learn more today.

text: Human race is a nomad by nature, just like other animals they used to have their food from nature in form of fruits, roots and hunting. It served their need of clothes by providing animal leather and leaves. Same way the shelter was also provided by nature in form of caves and trees. Living organisms desire to survive. T Construction techniques were also simultaneously developed depending on materials used; this all together gave rise to Vernacular Architecture. Vernacular architecture originated through the need of mankind by making use of the natural resources around him to provide him shelter and comfort which is responsive to the environment, a protection from the environment. It is a pure reaction to an individual person's or society's surviving needs, and has allowed man to construct even before any formal education of construction. Vernacular buildings are a fundamental characteristic of human civilizations that are sustained and transmitted by practices from one generation to others. The natural desire to have connection to one's surroundings is reflected in this peculiar architectural feature, a spatial language or form that is followed throughout the generations. Vernacular architecture adheres to basic green architectural principles of energy efficiency by utilizing materials and resources near the site. These structures capitalize on the native knowledge of how buildings can be effectively designed by taking advantage of local materials and resources. The effectiveness of climate responsive architecture is proved in course of time by less cost o A poorly designed structure which doesn't consider environmental or vernacular factors can ultimately cost the occupant in addition to the environment more in resources than a properly designed building. By applying vernacular strategies to modern design, a structure can ideally achieve net zero energy use, and be a self-sufficient building. Vernacular buildings are human constructs that result from the interrelations between ecological, economic, material, political and social factors. Etymologically, for anything to be considered vernacular, it has always been assumed that it must be native or unique to a speci?c place, produced without the need for imported components and processes, and possibly built by the individuals who occupy it. In the twenty-?rst century, as culture and tradition are becoming less place-rooted and more information-based, these particular attributes of the vernacular have to be recalibrated to re?ect these changes (Nezar Alsayyad). Such simple traditions have long been regarded as backward, and have been replaced by half-digested, largely inappropriate architectural values. Pre-industrial way of construction was sustainable, survived for many years following vernacular traditions but we can't say the same for the post industrial era which was a period of chaos and population explosion, housing for masses had to be catered. New materials were produced in excess and exported throughout the world by means of new transportation and communication techniques. One vital difference between pre- industrial people and us is that they worked in harmony and respect with nature instead we got lost in this networking era, detaching our self from nature. The way human settlements are structured in modernity has been greatly contrasted with nature; current architecture focuses on the occupying more of people than connection with surrounding environment. In this process context of architecture has been forgotten and use of foreign materials, techniques started. People see steel, concrete and glass as architecture of high quality, it is essential to consider the embodied energy lost in the transportation of these goods to the construction site. Whereas lot of vernacular methods including adobe, thatch or bamboo are often associated with underdevelopment. Ironically, these local methods are far more sustainable and contextually aware than much contemporary architecture seen today. On top of this to make these structures livable, more energy is used. In today's situation where fossil fuels are on the verge of end and world facing devastating climate change living traditional vernacular values are making our chances of survival thin. What types of buildings will be most resilient in the face of such challenges' if this is a question, many people's response is that traditional vernacular prototypes are best adapted to the different climates they occupy and therefore are better suited to provide sustainable prototypes for a future with cheap energy, far more so than energy expensive high-tech building types."Vernacular architecture can be said to be 'the architectural language of the people' with its ethnic, regional and local 'dialects,'" writes Paul Oliver, author of 'The Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of The World'. The world getting smaller day by day with new technological achievements, with advancement in medical science human lifespan is also increasing putting pressure on natural resources to serve the new life. A major challenge faced by global community is to house the billions of people that inhabit the world, now and in the future, in culturally and environmentally sustainable ways. Current estimates predict an increase of the world's population to approximately 9 billion people in 2050, all of whom will need to be housed. We may not be able cater this need through vernacular architecture but principles of vernacular can define guidelines for design, but irony is vernacular architecture continues to be associated with the past, underdevelopment and poverty, and there seems to be little interest among planners, architects and politicians in the achievements, experience and skills of the vernacular buildings or the environmentally and culturally appropriate qualities of the buildings they produce. If anything is to be taken from vernacular architecture, it provides a vital connection between humans and the environment. It re-establishes us in our part of the world and forces us to think in terms of pure survival – architecture before the architect. These structures present a climate-responsive approach to dwelling and are natural and resource conscious solutions to a regional housing need. The benefits of through what the Architectural Review recently described as "a global pandemic of generic buildings." Instead of following foreign language of development and loose identity and nature , its time to open our eyes and give vernacular a chance to make future healthy and livable for next generations.

A pianist I would like to explore ...
Okay, so I broke down and bought a few more recordings that looked interesting to me:
Yeah, I just couldn't resist: 30 bucks for 10 discs.
The spirit of Sibelius still lives!!!!!
No, unfortunately I don't believe anyone who post on this thread are 'cured'...
Very much like "cease fire" is "reloading time", no one is cured, indeed. I buy less now, much much less. But an occasional purchase is, if nothing else, a sign that the passion is still alive and well.
I wasn't aware that brains were involved (speaking of myself of course)?
Don't look at me. I've lost my mind 20 years ago. Perhaps even sooner than that.
Having nothing to lose is a wonderful thing

Accused Christchurch shooter changes plea to guilty- media reports
|National Post 25 Mar 2020 at 19:49
WELLINGTON — The Australian man accused of the attacks on two New Zealand mosques last year entered a surprise guilty plea in a Christchurch court on Thursday to 51 charges of murder, local media reported.
Top Stories
Brenton Tarrant, who appeared by video link in a special High Court hearing, also admitted to 40 charges of attempted murder and one terrorism charge, broadcaster TVNZ reported.
Tarrant, 29, a suspected white supremacist, had previously pleaded not guilty to all charges and had been due to face a trial scheduled to start in June.
The court will now sentence him on all 92 charges, but did not provide a date for that sentencing. Tarrant was remanded in custody until another court appearance on May 1, TVNZ reported.
Due to a nationwide lockdown in place for the coronavirus outbreak, Thursday's court hearing took place with minimal staff, lawyers and media present.
Calls and emails to the court by Reuters were not immediately returned.
The court placed a one-hour embargo on reporting the news in order to inform family members and victims about what had taken place before it was made public.
Tarrant has been in plice custody since the March 15 attack, where he used semi-automatic weapons to target Muslims attending Friday prayers in Christchurch, marking New Zealand's worst peace time mass shooting.
(Reporting by Praveen Menon; Editing by Sandra Maler and Jane Wardell)
Our most powerful weapon is that we know what it is and we can learn from people who have already suffered through it
Looking back at how politicians reacted, how the public felt and what was normal just a week ago makes the change even more abrupt
We may dodge a big bullet here. ... But we may well end up in a situation where we have to make some very tough ethical decisions

The Queerest Dialogues And Moments on TV Shows
We have seen the development of many LGBTQ+ characters on our favourite TV shows. Stories that revolve around the issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community now receive the attention they deserve. Off recent, TV series has delivered some good quality content. And this is a revisit to the best queer moments.
Stanford Blatch might be one of the oldest and yet identifiable gay characters who almost accurately depicted. Carrie's close friend from Sex and the city. Sex and city opened up a lot of questions related to sex, gender, and identity. The show also broke stereotypes about looks, desires, and expressions of romance.
Moving on, we stood witness to Will & Grace, Six Feet Under, and Glee. Characters slowly begin to diversify into LGBTQ+. Although, in most shows, it was prominently gay men who stood to be the LGBTQ+ representative.
Without further ado, let's get down to it.
Here's a gem from Glee.
Kurt Hummel had his fair share of quirks. But if we were to get down to it, he knew exactly what it means to be gay. Orthodox family, bullies classmates, and a few jerks as partners, Hummel gave us all the right feels along with heightened relatability.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine!
Nine-Nine! Brooklyn Nine-Nine has delivered non-stop entertainment starting from season one. With the entry of Captain Holt, gay men were presented in a brand new light. Captain Holt has so much going on that does not revolve sheerly around his sexual orientation. And yet, the features that do generate from being gay are honestly pretty amazing. Also, check out his gay romance goals.
Elena, One Day At a Time
If this scene did not make you weep, are you even human? Elena's interaction with her father is coming out of the closet in its truest form. Coming to terms with her father being unaccepting of her or figuring out who to dance with for her quinceanera, Elena's character as a gay teen is spot on!
Kevin, the Gay Best Friend
At least in the first season, Kevin and Betty are the perfect friends. Kevin, being his best gay self admires Archie from Betty's window. And his reactions are so freaking organic. Kevin and Betty share the cutest of relationships. Kevin is not presented as overtly gay and Betty does not treat her gay best friend any different from the rest. Which is what makes their relationship so awesome. Also, look at Archie, who wouldn't drool over him?
Suggested Reading: 5 Best LGBT Characters In Your Favorite TV Shows
Robin coming out
Stranger Things season 3 introduced us to the nonchalant smart cookie, Robin. Robin and Steve share a quick will they, won't they relationship until they both sit down after a puking session. When they both begin to discuss their time in school and land on Tammy Thompson. Robin eventually spills her secret and Steve realises that she doesn't like him but was jealous of him. How many queer love stories end like this?
Have you watched Atypical yet? If not, go watch it right now! This show on Netflix is millennial, real, and has no moments that will make you weep. And yet they touch upon every aspect of love, friendship, and family that will get you hooked to the show. Casey and Izzie present the line of bicurious relationship and sheds light on romance outside of monogamy. It is the sides to queer that we rarely get to witness.
Sex Education
Sex Education is such a great series! Confusion, chaos, adolescence, sex, it's got it all! Sex education gave us Eric, a fun, creative black gay teen who was best friends with the protagonist. Even though the protagonist, Otis Milburn played a major part, Eric's transformation steals the attention of the viewer. His self-acceptance and identification are heartwarming and provides such joy especially after his family accepts him.
Cable Girls
Cable Girls is set in the 1920s and has powerful tones of feminism. A huge part of feminism is also lesbianism. It even goes onto cover the medical, political, and social situation of lesbians back in the day. Carlota and Sara are the gay power couple who will give you some serious couple goals. The ideas of Butch and femme are accurately represented as well. They are a strong voice of reason and use their love as a power move against patriarchy. Simply, mindblowing.
Thanks to the diversity in representation, the world has slowly become better aware of the LGBTQ+ community. We have characters we can identify with and stories that we can learn from. But most of all, we know that the LGBTQ+ is being heard in their truest authenticity. What's your favorite queer moment? Let us know!

Student, Pianist, Cellist, Athlete, Philanthropist.
I am a Grade 12 IB diploma student at Mulgrave School in West Vancouver. I take Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at the higher level, and History, Spanish and English Literature at a standard level. I am passionate about learning new things both in and outside of my classes. I am keen on the field of neuroscience and enjoy engaging in discourse about philosophy, history and literature with my peers. I spent a portion of the last two summers at the Pediatric Surgical Research Laboratories of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where I learned and observed research having to do with cancer and reproductive biology. I have been learning Mandarin since primary school, Spanish since the beginning of high school, and speak, read and write French and English fluently.
To complement my academics, I play piano and cello competitively, taking part in chamber music and various orchestras over the years, and winning multiple awards locally and internationally. I currently sit as one of the principal cellists of the Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra and released my first CD "A First Chapter" (on piano). I keep healthy by being a member of Mulgrave School's varsity cross-country and track & field teams, ensuring to keep running and training in the off season. Throughout the winter, I ski and skate recreationally.
Throughout the summers of 2018 and 2019, I spent time as an intern in an ovarian cancer research lab at MGH. I worked with a sub-group known as the "MIS group", a team collectively investigating MIS' (Mullerian Inhibiting Substance) ability to preserve female fertility during intense chemotherapeutic treatments. During my first summer at the lab, I learned more about the biological methods used in specific genomic testing, while in my second summer there, I focused on data science methods, using R and Seurat for R, which allow the genomic data to be interpreted. I am honored to have been invited to go back during the summer after I graduate from high school.

The potato (solanum tuberosum) is recognised as an important foodstuff worldwide and is seen as a key component in the worldwide fight against hunger and malnutrition and the creation of food security. Potatoes are packed with vitamin B3, B5, B6, C and fibre. They are ranked after rice, wheat and maize as the world's fourth largest food crop. (Some sources like the International Potato Centre – see next heading – rank potatoes third, after rice and wheat).
In addition to being eaten as a vegetable by humans, potatoes can be used as feed for livestock. The domestic processing sector uses potatoes for three processed products i.e. crisps, frozen and fresh French fries. Potato starch is used in the food industry as a thickener and binder of soups and sauces, and elsewhere as an adhesive and for the manufacturing of papers and boards. It holds potential as a base for biodegradable packaging too. Potatoes can also be used to brew alcoholic beverages like vodka.
Potatoes can also be used, of course, as seed tubers for growing the next season's crop.

- Around 600 producers in 16 production regions ensuring a permanent supply of fresh potatoes.
- Approximately 50 000 hectares are planted under potatoes producing an average of 2 million tons of potatoes.
- The bulk of potatoes are grown in Limpopo, the Western Free State, the Sandveld (Western Cape), and the Eastern Free State.
- Except for the Eastern Free State, most potato production (85%) happens under irrigation.
- In terms of hectares the Eastern Free State is the largest production area with some 9 989 hectares.
- The most potatoes are produced in Limpopo because it is primarily produced under irrigation.
- Potato production is particularly labour intensive.
The potato crop is distributed as follows:
- Formal market (Fruit & Veg City, Pick 'n Pay etc) – over a third of the crop.
- Informal market (informal traders who buy 10kg pockets and repackage them for sale in smaller quantities) – this accounts for just over a quarter of the crop.
- Processing (McCain Foods, Simba, etc) – just under a fifth of the crop.
- Seed for the next season's crop.
- Export – South Africa is not a major exporter of potatoes. Exports go mainly to neighbouring countries.

Well you're right, they are easier to build that way, and it was a consideration when I built it. I looked hard and long at what was being accomplished with kingpin inclination. My conclusion was; it's not necessary. So I built the first kart without it, and guess what, it worked, really really well. At the 1975 Quincy Nationals, I qualified 3rd in 2 classes, and that was against 3 of the best drivers in karting. Lynn haddock, Rick Gifford and Ernie Fisher. Lynn haddock had fast time in Reed open with Rick Gifford 2nd. Rick had fast time in Mac 101 with Ernie Fisher 2nd. The 1975 Nationals was my first Nationals.Al,
I believe what SoCo Tire is pointing out is that chassis, tires, weight, wheels, spindles, and axles have all changed pretty dramatically over the last couple of decades.
If your experience with a "kart that worked really well" was on Goodyear Bluestreaks or Carlisle tires, on a kart that was 36" wide and weighed 115 lbs.... well, things have dramatically changed. I suppose a valid question would be: did you ever try to change the front end on the kart you built to incorporate any kingpin inclination? To be perfectly honest, back a long time ago, I think one of the reasons we didn't see KPI was because the chassis and the spindles were easier to build without it.

If you go to Zoe's beach pics, at the end, you'll see a husky.
Male, neutered. His name is Sky. Beautiful dog who, for some reason, "loves" ??? Zoe.
Whenever he's at the beach, he will immediately go to her, no matter how many other dogs are around. He'll swim next to her (which is okay) try to climb on her back while she's swimming so that she actually goes under water (which is not okay).
When she is on the sandy area, he'll try to initiate play, but Zoe isn't interested. He continually does his play bow, and eventually will try to climb on Zoe (i.e. hump) and Zoe does the "air snap" to warn him off. Sky doesn't pay attention to her warning.
I'm afraid this will escalate into a fight one day.
Today, I finally told Sky's owner (he was about 50 feet away! :) ...well, actually I yelled (LOL) "Zoe does not like Sky's behavior; please come and leash him (Zoe was leashed at this time). He tries to recall Sky but Sky doesn't want anything to do w/master; he wants Zoe. Owner doesn't come to get Sky or try to leash him.
So I go between Sky & Zoe to break them up, thinking what would happen if Sky decides to bite me. I nudged Sky with my knee to get him off of Zoe and took Zoe into the water. Sky finally runs to owner.
Zoe had a poop : she was probably stressed. oh lah.
You'd do the same as I did, yes? Oh, please say yes. LOL
Linda and Zoë, the Umlaut

Each time this happens, I would leash Sky with Zoe's leash, march him back to the owner and ask him to keep him away from Zoe.
I think what you did was fine. However I think the owner needs to learn to control his dog if he's going to take him out in public like that. I feel bad for poor Zoe being harassed by Sky. By the way Sky is a beautiful boy, but his owner needs to take some control.
When I have a problem with a dog, this is what I do too...only I usually don't use a leash, I just lead them by their collar. Returning someone's dog to them usually gets the point across.Originally Posted by kaytris
Poor Zoe.
This happens sometimes with boys and Emma too. They tend to fall in love with her right away. That feeling is NEVER mutual, as long as there is humping involved.
I would have done the same. The owner should keep his dog under control. He can't let him run at the beach if he humps other dogs like that and not listen to his owner.

Sweet Emma, 16th of February 1996~26th of November 2010
Always in my heart and soul. Together forever, my love....

You did the right thing. As Zoe's mom it's your responsibility to protect her from anything that may harm her, including unwanted advances from suitors.
Hm. I kind of like the idea of taking control of the other dog and marching him/her back to the owner.
Sky and Zoe have known each other for quite a while, haven't they?
Seamus and Flynn
Some dogs really don't like their collars being handled - if you don't know the dog, for safety's sake, use a leash.Originally Posted by JacksAndLabs
I think you did the right thing.
Blackie and Ranger ...............................Reggie: 1996-2010 "Fly Reggie Fly"
yes they have, and it's always the same scenario. But only today did I see Zoe to the air snap.Originally Posted by Paddysmom
Good idea about the leash thing! I like that. The owner will know that Sky's behavior, and the owner's noncompliance, is not tolerable. Thanks.

Here at Roosevelt Veterinary Center, we believe in the importance of preventing diseases before they happen and allowing your pet to enjoy a happy and healthy life. Following the American Animal Hospital Association's guidelines for vaccination of dogs and cats, we offer several vaccines which are important for all pets and several that may be important for your pet depending on his or her lifestyle.
Vaccines help prepare the body's immune system to fight the invasion of disease-causing organisms. Vaccines contain antigens which look like the disease-causing organism to the immune system but don't actually cause the disease. When the vaccine is introduced to the body, the immune system is mildly stimulated. If a pet is ever exposed to the real disease, the immune system is now prepared to recognize and fight it off entirely or reduce the severity of the illness.
Rabies Vaccination CATS & DOGS (required by NY & CT state law)
Rabies is a dangerous and deadly viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in infected animals. Rabies vaccination is extremely important and life-saving and is required by New York and CT state laws for all dogs, cats, and ferrets. The first rabies vaccination should be administered no sooner than 3 months of age and no later than four months of age. Your pet will then receive a rabies vaccination booster the following year and then every three years thereafter.
Humans or animals can contract rabies if they are bitten by an infected animal. Infected saliva from the bite can enter the bloodstream, leading to infection and, in many cases, death. For humans, rabies is nearly always fatal if vaccination is not administered prior to the onset of severe symptoms.
The state local health department laws are extremely strict regarding the vaccination and veterinary care of pets who may be exposed to rabies. If an unvaccinated pet who may have been exposed to rabies has bitten a human, the health department may require that pet to be humanely euthanized and sent for rabies testing. If an unvaccinated pet may have been exposed to rabies but has not bitten a human, that pet must be quarantined for six months.
Even if an unvaccinated pet has never been exposed to rabies, if that pet bites a person, the pet must be quarantined for 10 days and monitored. If the pet becomes sick and exhibits signs of rabies during this period, the pet must be euthanized and submitted for rabies testing. Sadly, our veterinarian has seen far too many cases where an unvaccinated family pet scuffled with an oddly acting raccoon in the backyard, and the owner who tried to break up the scuffle was bitten. In these sad cases, the family pet had to be euthanized for rabies testing. Our pet hospital strongly recommends that all pet owners comply with state law and vaccinate their pets to avoid the untimely death of their pet or harming the health of another human. You can learn more about state requirements and pet vaccinations at veterinary hospitals by visiting www.health.state.ny.us/diseases.
K9 ONLY Vaccines:
4-in-1 DHPP Vaccine
Our veterinarians recommend this vaccine, which protects against canine distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, and parainfluenza, for all dogs. Because these diseases are extremely contagious and can easily be fatal, all dogs are at risk. Even indoor dogs can contract parvovirus if the virus is brought home on an unsuspecting owner's shoes or clothes. Puppies should be vaccinated every 3-4 weeks starting at 6 weeks of age. Vaccination of adult dogs can be decreased to every 1-3 years.
Leptospirosis Vaccine
"Lepto" is a bacterial infection of the liver and kidneys. Not only can lepto be fatal to dogs, but it can also be transmitted from dogs to human family members. Dogs contract lepto from exposure to contaminated outdoor water sources so any dog with access to lakes, creeks, or even puddles should be vaccinated. After an initial series, this vaccine should be repeated annually.
Lyme Vaccine
Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks and is very common in New York and Connecticut. Symptoms in dogs include limping, fever, and loss of appetite. Rarely, Lyme disease can cause life-threatening kidney failure. We recommend the vaccine for dogs who are known to get ticks or spend time in the woods or grass. After an initial series, this vaccine should be repeated annually.
Bordetella bronchiseptica ("kennel cough")
Kennel cough is a contagious upper respiratory infection (a.k.a. "cold") of dogs. If your dog stays at the kennel or goes to the groomer, the dog park, or anywhere else with lots of dogs, then he or she should be vaccinated. Depending on the level of your dog's risk, the vaccine can be repeated every 6-12 months.
Canine Influenza (H3N8)
The canine "flu" causes severe upper and lower respiratory disease which is fatal in 1-5% of dogs. Outbreaks are not common but have been reported in kennels in the Dutchess/Putnam/Fairfield county areas. Some kennels have started requiring this vaccine. After an initial series, this vaccine should be repeated annually.
Feline ONLY Vaccines:
3-in-1 FVRCP Vaccine
This vaccine protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpesvirus-1), calicivirus, and panleukopenia. These diseases are highly contagious and can be fatal, especially for kittens. Although it is often referred to as "feline distemper," panleukopenia of cats is actually very similar to parvovirus in dogs. The vaccine is about 60% effective for calicivirus, 50% effective for herpesvirus, and nearly 100% effective for panleukopenia, the most fatal of the three diseases. Kittens should be vaccinated every 3-4 weeks starting at 6 weeks of age and ending when they reach 16 weeks of age. Vaccination of adult cats can be decreased to every 1-3 years.
Feline Leukemia Vaccine
Feline leukemia is spread through direct contact between cats. For those cats who become infected, it is generally 1-3 years before they develop signs of illness in the form of fatal cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma. This disease affects approximately 3% of cats in the northeastern US. Any cat who goes outside without direct supervision should be vaccinated. Cats should be tested for feline leukemia before vaccinating. After an initial series, this vaccine should be repeated annually.

Kingwood upsets No. 6 Atascocita in overtime on senior night
Walker Blaine rushed over to the Kingwood student section after the Mustangs' win over Atascocita Friday night.
Kingwood had just upset the No. 6 Eagles 45-38 in overtime in a District 22-6A game at the Mustangs gym.
Blaine shouted "let's go" to the student section and raised his arms for the crowd to get loud.
It was the perfect way to end his last game at Kingwood High School on senior night.
"It's my first time beating Atascocita," said the forward Walker. "It is bittersweet too at the same time with my last game here at Kingwood. It was just a great environment. All of our fans came out and supported us. It was a big win."
Kingwood (21,10,11-4) coach Monte Cole, who was on David Martinez's staff at Atascocita, got his first win against Atascocita (30-5, 14-2). This season Cole swept Humble and split with Atascocita. It's the first time he has defeated both schools since he arrived at Kingwood three years ago.
"Anytime you can get a win against a team like that you're going to take it," Cole said. "They're extremely good. They probably didn't hit some shots that they normally make. We were able to hit some shots in the first half to get a little separation before they closed the gap. That's one of the top programs in the state and to get a win against them is huge for our program and our kids."
The Mustangs led by as many as 14 points in the game and had an 18-8 lead at halftime.
Then, the defense turned up for Atascocita, which brought the offense to run smoothly.
Dylan Dawson scored all of his 13 points in the second half for the Eagles.
Junior post Landen King had back-to-back buckets in the paint and then Tom Hart went 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to tie the game at 33 in the fourth quarter.
Atascocita had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation with a 3-pointer but it was no good as the game went into overtime.
The Eagles took their first lead of the game in overtime after Cameron Morrison knocked down a free throw. That would be the only lead Atascocita had in the game.
Blaine, who played through foul trouble for most of the game, hit a layup and was fouled and sent to the free-throw line to finish the three-point play the old fashioned way.
He played the second half with four fouls but kept his composure on the court.
"I had to play solid defense and not get any cheap fouls," Blaine said. "On offense I couldn't attack really. They're really good at taking charges so I had to stay on my feet and think before I did something."
Atascocita was playing in its last game of the season. The Eagles were playing for a share of the district title with Summer Creek.
With the Atascocita loss, a Summer Creek win against Dobie next Tuesday will clinch the district title for the Bulldogs for the second straight season.
Atascocita coach David Martinez realizes that the real season starts in the playoffs.
"We didn't come to play," Martinez said. "This is completely my fault. I didn't have these guys ready to play and credit to Kingwood and Monte for having his guys ready to play."
Despite the loss, Martinez and the Eagles are looking forward to the playoffs and looking for another magical postseason run.
"We have been playing pretty good actually," Martinez said. "This was a tough one. It ain't the end of the world. We will get back and see who we have to play in the playoffs and try to make a run at it."
The win brings confidence to the Mustangs, who are in the playoffs for the first time since the 2016-2017 season and for the first time under Cole.
"I'm really happy for them," said junior Billy Gould on getting the seniors a win over their rival. "For them to have their last home game be a win over Atascocita is huge. This game is going to give us a lot of confidence going into the playoffs. We know that we're going to face teams like this in the playoffs and a win like this will help us for sure. We're looking forward to making a run in the playoffs."
