General Meeting – September 2019
Thu, Sep 12 , 2019
6:45 pm - 8:30 pm
Fairview Community Center
1910 W. County Road B,
Roseville, MN 55113
"Common Tern Habitat Restoration" with Martha Minchak
The Common Tern, it turns out, is not so common in Minnesota. These sea birds nest in only two places in the Lake Superior watershed—and one of these places is in danger.
Interstate Island Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is approximately 6 acres in size and located in the Duluth Harbor (St Louis River Estuary). The island was created from material that was dredged from the shipping channel in the 1930s. Due to current historically high water levels in the estuary, the island is experiencing unprecedented flooding and the entire tern colony is now threatened.
September's speaker Martha Minchak, an assistant wildlife manager in this area of the state, will discuss her work in restoring the island's valuable nesting habitat for colonial nesting birds including the Common Tern, which is currently a threatened species in Minnesota.
Restoration work on the island will restore the island's elevation and footprint to something more closely resembling its original condition. Come and learn about the restoration project, and how the tern colony is being managed to allow maximum success for these birds, as well as other nesting and migratory species.
Martha Minchak has a Bachelor of Science degree in wildlife management from the University of MN – Twin Cities. She has worked for the MN DNR for over 30 years and currently works as an
assistant area wildlife manager for the Cloquet area, stationed in Duluth.
Arrive at 6:45 for social time or 7:00 for the program; held at Fairview Community Center, 1910 Cty Rd B, Roseville. Free and open to the public.

About PQDT Open Search
As English progressively becomes the global language, many native English speakers move to foreign countries to work as English teachers. However a review of the literature reveals that there is little research on their actual performance compared to the non-native local English teachers. This comparative case study examines pedagogic practices of native English speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaking teachers (NNESTs), and the impact of their teaching on English language learning as perceived by secondary students in Korea. The participants for this study were NESTs and NNESTs along with focal students who were each taught simultaneously by two teachers, a NEST and a NNEST. Six students and four teachers (one NEST and one NNEST and three students) participated at two separate middle schools in Korea. The primary data consisted of interviews with the teachers, classroom observations, audio and video-taped classes of the teachers, as well as interviews with the students reflecting how both the NESTs and NNESTs have impacted their English language skills. The major findings of this study were that due to the teacher-centered nature of the NEST's classes, the pressure to succeed on exams and the size of the class, the students were not able to develop critical English skills such as extended responses and general conversational skills. The students did note however, that their understanding of Western culture, as well as their listening skills, greatly improved in the NEST's class. One NNEST predominantly practiced the grammar-translation method geared to enhance students' test performances, while the other NNEST effectively used code-switching, L1 and L2, allowing students to participate in communicative activities. The study in the NNEST classes showed that in one NNEST class students were able to understand fully English grammar points and reading material which were essential to exam preparation. In the other class, while the exam preparation wasn't as intense, the teacher focused more on helping the students to think and to achieve a greater speaking ability. The results of this study suggests that local contextual factors which affect NESTs' and NNESTs' pedagogical practices must be more closely examined before enforcing the English-only rule. The study also indicates that there is a basic need to fundamentally correct the mismatch between test and pedagogy practice in English education in secondary Korean schools and to provide systematic support for the teachers.

A V-1 Buzz Bomb, that is. In this photo from my old copy of Air War Against Hitler's Germany, we see a Hawker Tempest in in hot pursuit of the rocket-propelled terror weapon. The caption in the book does not reveal the outcome of the aerial chase.
Somewhere in the TSG archives, we're sure we have a photo of a V-1 (and
probably a Tempest) from a museum someplace. But as usual, we're too
lazy tonight to dig it up. Maybe later.

In Brighton, vegan and vegetarian food is everywhere. With delicious eateries on every corner, the city has proven that eating a plant based diet, doesn't have to be tasteless. So as barbecues are such a summer staple for us Brightonians, why not try out some of these yummy veggie-friendly BBQ recipes? Even if you do eat meat, these might surprise you! Or at least give you an alternative for when your herbivorous friends come over…
1. Turmeric & Coconut Paneer (V)
This recipe may not be the quickest of the bunch, but it's little effort for something as delicious as it looks. If you skip on making the homemade naan it's actually pretty simple and will leave you with an exciting meat alternative to barbecue til your heart's content.
2. Homemade Sausages (V+)
If you fancy trying your hand at making some vegan food from scratch, why not try out this yummy vegan sausage recipe? Sure Linda McCartney and Quorn make great alternatives, but how impressed will your mates be knowing you whipped them up from nothing! PS, if you're struggling to form the sausage shape, you can always use the mixture to make burger patties instead.
3. Memphis Style Dry Rub Tofu (V)
When it comes to cooking vegetarian, it's all about the seasoning. This recipe proves that tofu can take on a whole new meaning just by using a flavoursome dry rub. The recipe suggest either putting the cooked tofu in a sandwich or cooking on cocktail sticks for an (almost) authentic rib-look – yum!
4. Green Burgers (V)
This basic burger recipe will be an easy crowd pleaser and can even be frozen for convenience! A great way to pack protein into your meal, guests are sure to love this healthy alternative to a classic beef burger!
5. Pepper & Feta Parcels
Crumbly feta, grilled veg and sweet peppers is a perfect combination for a healthy barbecue dish. This simple recipe is classic and colourful and will certainly impress friends and family with little effort involved.
6. Grilled Portobello Steaks With Aioli & Courgette Fries (V)
This list of veggie-friendly BBQ foods wouldn't be complete without a portobello mushroom on it now, would it? But this recipe offers a nice spin on the usual mushroom burger and offers two delicious sides to serve up with it! Accompanied by a sundried tomato aioli and baked courgette fries, the mushroom is instantly elevated to gourmet barbecue food.
7. Halloumi, Tomato & Aubergine Skewers (V)
Another simple yet rewarding recipe, these tasty skewers are pretty quick to whip up and require only a few ingredients! Simply season well, grill and serve on fresh crusty bread for a yummy (and guilt-free) BBQ snack!
8. Cheesy Corn On The Cob With Spicy Mayo & Lime (V)
Not the most impressive or ground breaking recipe, but a good BBQ staple nonetheless, these veggie corn on the cobs with a twist are a great simple side to serve. Offering a spin on a popular Mexican street food dish, the lime and spicy mayo will blow classic corn on the cob out of the water.
9. Grilled Courgette (V+)
Another simple BBQ staple is grilled courgette. They're as easy as can be to make and are a good way to pad out any meal. Why not include these in a veggie barbecue-style tapas? Follow the recipe here for perfectly seasoned, crisp and comforting courgette!
10. Buffalo-Blue Curly Cheese Fry & Black Bean Burgers (V)
Just because you're vegetarian, doesn't mean you always want to be healthy. This recipe is perfect for those who are after an indulgent BBQ burger with a gourmet twist. Not the speediest of recipes, but who would expect that for such an intricate burger? Make these when you're looking to impress!
Although most of these recipes are vegetarian you can switch out ingredients for dairy-free cheese, mayo etc to suit your needs!

Home Improvement Does Not Have To Be Hard
Home improvement choices are somewhat personal in nature. If you will be living in your home for a long time, then you can make decisions about what you like the best. If you are selling within a relatively short period of time, then there are a lot of factors to take into account. This article will give you ideas on how you can make good decisions when it comes to your home-improvement projects.
For an energy efficient upgrade, replace your hot water heater with a tank-less model. The new tank-less heaters only heat the water as it is needed as opposed to keeping 50 gallons or more heated at all times. This change will help your utility bills and the environment.
If a price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you get estimates from multiple contractors before making a choice on a company. It's tempting to go with the company that comes in thousands of dollars lower than their competitor, but often you'll end up paying for shoddy work that could have been prevented by going with the more reasonably priced company.
Displaying buttons on a spice rack can be a great way to give your home a cottage style feel, as well as, making a focal point in your living room. Buy some small old fashioned apothecary jars and fill them with buttons assorted by color. Arrange them in a pleasing manner on your spice rack and you have yourself, a great focal point.
Even a beginner can and should tackle the repair of a leaky faucet. The simple act of repairing faucets can reduce leaks, keeping water from being wasted. The savings from this project will quickly add up on your monthly water bill.
Dollar for dollar, an additional bathroom can really boost the value of your home. In practical terms, having another bathroom is very useful, especially if it is on a different floor than an existing bathroom. Having two will reduce fighting over bathroom privileges and create a happier household.
You should look into making minor house repairs prior to putting your house on the market. This includes things like fixing a cracked tile, a hole in a wall, or a squeaky door. Issues like these may make the potential buyer worry that you have not taken care of the house properly and may make the buyer wonder what worse things are being covered up.
Refurbishing an unfinished basement floor can bring the space together while increasing the functionality of the basement. Family members and friends will want to go down there more than they did before and one can create a new area to entertain guests. Putting down a wood, carpet, or synthetic floor will really improve ones basement.
Maintaining a level head and a drive for perfection during home remodeling can be a bit hard. There is a lot going on, and you have to be able to "roll with the punches" so to speak. The ideas in this article have shown you how you can have a beautiful home without breaking the banks and showcase your own personal style while not killing your resale value.

Unit 1 and 2
These are two of the four foreshore units of the south facing foreshore at Dungeness – made up of the MoD Lydd ranges frontage and RSPB and EDF Energy landownerships.
Unit 1 lies from Jury's Gap Lookout though to The Wicks. A meeting and site visit to discuss the Denge Beach (Lydd Ranges) Beach Management Plan (BMP) with EA and the Area Ops Team.
The frontage at Jury's Gap is showing increasing coastal squeeze as the coast retreats to meet the Green Wall structure that runs along the coast here within the MoD Lydd Ranges training ground.
Until a sustainable coastal flood management scheme is initiated here at Jury's Gap through the FoCES strategy this unit will remain in its present condition of Unfavourable.
Unit 2 lies on the frontage – a dynamic frontage of the Lydd Ranges from The Wicks to the Galloways Lookout location (the Galloways Lookout was removed in 2015 due to persistent erosion and undermining from coastal action). This unit is displaying roll back and fan formation, particularly in the area of Southbrooks.
The Denge BMP identifies low and vulnerable spots on the Lydd Ranges frontage and each winter (Christmas and New Year shut down on the firing Ranges) re-profiling works are carried out by the EA to push shingle from the foreshore (never the back, landward face of the storm crest) to raise the height at these specific spots. The BMP was set up in 2007 to reduce the adverse effects on the Dungeness SAC Annex I habitats due to reprofiling or pushing up with bulldozers – this originally, was carried out along the full frontage. That was from Jury's Gap in the west through to the Denge Marsh Road/Gully. Over the period of the first BMP 2007-2016 this reprofiling activity was greatly reduced. (see unit 3)
Recently though in the last two years the reprofiling has been seen to increase again in Units 1 and 2 due to coastal squeeze issues. This needs to be carefully monitored and discussed with EA at each annual review of the Denge BMP.

"Kindness is the language where the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
Mark Twain
To me, this quote means that kindness is a universal language which can be understood by every person through actions and words. It doesn't matter if you are deaf, blind, or speak a language from another country. Kindness can be expressed and demonstrated to every individual. Actions speak louder than words!
Micah Mason, Executive VP Ambassador for Bridges
In 2005, God moved the leadership of the school to open the doors a bit wider to invite more students to enroll at Valley so they too could benefit from this unique school experience. Beginning in August of 2006, Valley Christian High School began offering special education classes and accommodations for students with learning disabilities and other "diffabilities." This program is called V.I.N.E. – Valley's Individual Needs Enhancement Program. Students are taught with content and methods that enhance (strengthen, improve) their individual needs so they can be successful in their classes, which in turn will them to grow to their full God-given potential.
VCHS' Bridges Club was founded in order to help connect students who might otherwise be hesitant to reach out to other students. Although Bridges helps connect V.I.N.E. students to non-V.I.N.E. students, it is truly a club for everyone at Valley Christian High School.

Get a free bike check
Are your tyres pumped, brakes up to scratch, and chain and crank under control?
With the weather warming it is time to hit the cycle ways. In Hastings the iWay team has partnered with four bike shops across Hastings to provide free ABC bike checks to help make sure everyone cycles safely.
The ABC stands for Air in tyres, Brakes working, and Chain and crank operating as they should be. Any repairs identified by the checks will need to be paid for by the bike owner. Getting a free check also puts the cycle owner into a draw for prizes, including vouchers and bike accessories.
The stores involved are Avanti and The Hub in Hastings, and Cycle Nation and Revolution Bikes in Havelock North. The checks can be done during the shops regular opening hours from this Saturday (September 16) to October 31.
Hastings District Council acting mayor and keen cyclist Sandra Hazlehurst said cycling has many benefits.
"We are very proud of our iWay development over the past seven years. Getting our community on their bikes has so many positive benefits. While cycling improves our health and wellbeing, by leaving the car at home we are also improving our environment by reducing our carbon footprint, saving money and at the same time enjoying our beautiful district.
"Hastings has some of the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand, we have beautiful cycle ways and iWays and our district is mostly flat; all perfect reasons to get on our bikes this summer."
The iWay programme started in Hastings in 2010 after Hastings District Council submitted a proposal to the New Zealand Transport Agency to become one of two model cycling communities in New Zealand. The proposal was accepted and Council received $4 million to start building urban cycle ways and promote cycling. A second round of funding in 2012, $11 million, allowed the network to be extended and further cycling promotions to be run. In 2015 Napier took up the iWay programme and it is now overseen by a regional governance group.
Including iWay paths and Hawke's Bay Regional Council's and Rotary cycle trails, there are more than 220 kilometres of easily accessible cycle ways across Hastings and Napier.

From John Adams to James Warren, 25 October 1775
To James Warren
Octr: 25th: 1775
Dear Sir
Upon the Receipt of the Intelligence of Dr. [Church's] Letter, Dr. Morgan was chosen in his Room. This Letter is intended to be sent by him, and therefore probably will not go in ten days.1
John Morgan, a Native of this City, is a Doctor of Physick, a Fellow of the Royal Society at London; Correspondent of the Royal Academy of Surgery at Paris; Member of the Arcadian Belles Lettres Society at Rome; Licentiate of the Royal Colledges of Physicians in London and in Edinburgh; and Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Colledge of Philadelphia.
This Gentleman Served an Apprenticeship of six or seven years under Dr. John Redman, an eminent Physician in this City,2 during which Time he had an opportunity of Seeing the Practice of all the eminent Physicians in this City, as he attended at the Hospital, and for one year made up the Prescriptions of all. After this he devoted himself four years to a military Life, and went into the Service as a Physician and Surgeon to the Troops raised by this Colony; after this he went abroad, and Spent five years in Europe, under the most celebrated Masters in every Branch of Medicine, and visiting the principal Cities and Seats of Science in Great Britain, Holland, France and Italy.
This Gentleman in 1765, delivered a Discourse upon the Institution of Medical Schools in America, at a Commencement, which was published with a Preface, containing an Apology for attempting to introduce the regular Mode of practising Physic in Phyladelphia.3
Every Winter, Since he has read Lectures to the Students at the Colledge as a Professor &c.
He and our Revd. Chaplain Mr. Duche, who is now promoted to be Rector of the three United Episcopal Churches in this City, married two sisters. Mr. Stillman of Boston, the Antipoedobaptist Minister married Dr. Morgans sister.
The Doctors moral Character is very good. Thus much sir I thought myself well employed in Writing to you, who have a Curiosity after Characters. I wish I could give a Loose to my Pencil and draw Characters for your Inspection, by the Dozen. But Letters dont always go safe.
Dr. Morgan Sir, deserves particular Honour and Respect, where-ever he goes.

On offer is a very fascinating, significant diary/notebook of a young woman, Joyce Deluca, who worked at National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the forerunner to today's NASA. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Among other advancements, NACA research and development produced the NACA duct, a type of air intake used in modern automotive applications, the NACA cowling, and several series of NACA airfoils which are still used in aircraft manufacturing. During World War II, NACA was described as "The Force Behind Our Air Supremacy" due to its key role in producing working superchargers for high altitude bombers, and for producing the cutting-edge wing profiles for the North American P-51 Mustang. NACA was also key in developing the area rule that is used on all modern supersonic aircraft, and conducted the key compressibility research that enabled the Bell X-1 to break the sound barrier. Our diarist, Joyce DeLuca worked directly with several key personnel at NACA to include(at one time), General George Marshall, the only general in the history of the United States to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Joyce was a favorite among the draftsmen in the engineering department, however, their boss, Mr. Lorentz told her to 'keep away from this department'. "Mr. Lorentz comes out to meet me in the hall when I bring anything up there and that is to keep me from going in to see the draftsmen. Mr. Sturgis made up a card & came down to my office with it & asked me to put it on my door. It read 'Office Of Amorilization.' Frances & I joked about it & we laugh to the boys about it. I met Mr. Kohan & Mr. Keifer out to lunch & they were joking with me. I said I couldn't come up to see them and they said they were on a "Sympathy Strike" until I went up & spoke to them. Since that time I have paid more attention to Mr. Lorentz & the old man likes it. I knew he would. He wants to be recognized as the only one 'up there' worth talking to. He is a nice person, rather gruff & sticks to his work pretty closely, but he is alright." Whatever those designers and draftsmen were working on 'up there' in the engineering department was not to be seen by Joyce DeLuca or others without definite clearance permission. The diary is undated but can be situated in 1942 as there are several day and date references that place it in that year. [Tuesday, Mar 10, Monday Mar 23]. About half the pages are blank. Many entries are made in the first half of the year and take the form of notes that span several pages. It is a chatty, breezy recounting of the interactions of a small group of people working in this government agency. There are 2 photocopies of pictures, one showing her entire family. She opens with descriptions of some co-workers: "Mrs Kuhns is a rather elderly lady who has grey hair and rather expressionless blue eyes. .... She is alternately kind and very sarcastic She does very nice things ... yet the next minute she can do something very nasty. .... Miss Bertha Kuhns lives at the All Suites Hotel for Women and comes into very little contact with men and dislikes them more or less", "Miss Kuhn and Mrs. Lamburn have been carrying on a feud for years. ... She and Ms. Kuhns are always keeping tabs on each other and checking up on each others faults and always have derogatory remarks for each other" [ Jan 5], " ....My patience is wearing thin but I'll try to be nice up to the very end and then I'm clearing out". [Mar 11]. Observing about the boys in the drafting department, she noted: "... I have paid more attention to Mr Larents and the old bird likes it" [Jan 29] There are no references to outside events, even though this is written just after Pearl Harbor. What emerges is a picture of a rather charming young woman working at the very outset of America's entry into WW2. Joyce writes mostly about her work at NACA, the importance of what she is working on, her co-workers, her boss Mr. J. Vanier, and she wanes philosophical about their personalities, how work and morale could be improved, "will there ever be such a thing as a happy and satisfied government employee," etc. She works long hours and has a very personal and relaxed relationship with Mr. Vanier, who she finds to be an absolutely kind man with a terrific sense of humor. He is always calling her into his office for one thing or another. They do translating and look through the dictionary at work together. She helps him with his Italian translation as Joyce comes from a huge Italian family in the Boston area of Massachusetts; her parents being directly from Italy. At one point, on Feb. 27, when she went into Mr. Vanier's office he told her to "stick around, we are going to open a new glue pot." He was doing anacrostics of some kind. Joyce Writes "The job on hand is difficult but I am not afraid to work. Mr. Vanier has an Italian translation today & when I asked him how he was doing he said something funny to me. He is sitting there today with his big cigar and smoking away." DeLuca holds Mr. Vanier in high esteem and on one page of her diary there is a drop of melted red wax with what appears to be a piece of hair and he has signed "J. Vanier." She often mentions Room 912, and Mr. Vanier refers to one of the offices as "the crying room" and room 911 as the room for proofreading. On March 12, DeLuca is so fed up with 2 bickering women who are actually in charge of all the girls, that she puts in for a transfer to "The Federal Housing Department" and she is turned down. "March 15, Today I went into Mr. Vanier's room for clandestine coffee (coffee, sugar, etc. were rationed) & he gave me one of his many heart-to-heart talks & brought home the fact to me, all too vividly, that this War will take everyone that means any thing to me. Anthony, Sonny, Rusty (her brothers). There was cold in my heart when I thought of it. He gave me a few pointers on how to get Sonny & Anthony commissions in the Army. I realized my words would mean nothing to them, because like all Americans they are all confident." "March 16, MacArthur put in charge in Australia. March 17, This morning I went into Mr. Vanier's office, as is the custom, we discussed the draft bill that was passed for the women, and he quipped me into shape with this. "You women never stop to think" & he pointed out the various pitfalls & etc. of the situation. Later that night I went with the girls at the Neptune room celebrating Louise's birthday. April 2, They are rushing me again. I was rushed today with a British Report. April 4, I pretend to be a happy little government worker, if there is such a thing & just plug away at my typewriter & just take as little time for relaxation periods because this work is very strenuous & rather difficult to the mind. April 27, Well I don't know if it is a compliment or not but I'm being chosen to do all the Tables for a T.N. despite the fact that Miss K. gets approximately $27,000 a year & I only get $1670. I suppose it is the privilege of the higher ups to see that the lower ones get all the work. The injustice of labor ratings & work scheduling is appalling, but I suppose in time that will also be governed by a government who has nothing else to re-organize. April 28, Tonight the President submitted his 7-point plan for this war, and it was met with rather a grim nervousness that brought home the fact that we are at war. I can't believe how my world is changed." "May 2, Mr. Vanier is encouraging me to take a refresher course to meet the demand for help in answer to the increasing demand for stenographers. Every job offered now is considered a "war time appointment" & is given only for the duration of six months. No more probational appointments & no absolute appointments are given out. Today I was on the air! Through Mrs. Colwell. I was interviewed for a Federal Journal. May 15, Received a Kimball Report and was told to leave my T.N. and to get on the Kimball Report immediately. April 2, I was rushed again today with a British Report. on July 16, 1941, Joyce writes "While quite peeved one day I wrote this help-wanted ad up and gave it to the girls to read. This is what they expect of us on the job. The work we are doing now. This is the ad I made up - Marvelous Opportunity For - An English Professor with thorough knowledge of Aerodynamics, Aeronautical Engineering and all branches of Aeronautical study that can read and write approximately 8 languages and who is a speedy and accurate stencil cutter, for position with the NACA at the grand salary of $1440.00 to start." This is how she and the other girls/women that worked in this department felt was expected of them. Those she worked with included Frances A. McCarthy, Louise V. Lawhorn, Lucille Bunn, (lunch at the Cafe Rector on Conn Ave.), Miss Kuhnn, Helen Birchard, Mr. Helms, Miss Kess (has been a NACA employee since 1915), Mr. Helms, Miss Muller, Harry Prebish, Frank Curley, Miss LaRue, Miss Johnston, Lucy, Ellen, Jeanne Cleary, etc. Please note that even though the cover says "Five Year Diary" Joyce only used this to write in from January through July of 1942.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF, JOYCE DELUCA, HISTORY OF, 1940S, 20TH CENTURY, JOYCE DE LUCA; NASA; NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS, NACA, AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH; WOMEN'S STUDIES, NACA PERSONNEL, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, WOMEN IN NACA, NASA, ROCKETRY, SPACE EXPLORATION, MISSILE TECHNOLOGY, SELF DEFENSE, AMERICANA, HANDWRITTEN, MANUSCRIPT, DOCUMENT, LETTER, AUTOGRAPH, WRITER, HAND WRITTEN, DOCUMENTS, SIGNED, LETTERS, MANUSCRIPTS, DIARY, DIARIES, JOURNALS, PERSONAL HISTORY, SOCIAL HISTORY, HISTORICAL, HOLOGRAPH, WRITERS, AUTOGRAPHS, PERSONAL, MEMOIR, MEMORIAL, ANTIQUITÉ, CONTRAT, VÉLIN, DOCUMENT, MANUSCRIT, PAPIER ANTIKE, BRIEF, PERGAMENT, DOKUMENT, MANUSKRIPT, PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO, ATTO, VELINA, DOCUMENTO, MANOSCRITTO, CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD, HECHO, VITELA, DOCUMENTO, MANUSCRITO, PAPEL

Veterans from many eras of service were honored recently with a free spaghetti dinner at Elks Lodge No. 1143 in Fort Morgan.
Veterans attending the dinner were honored for their service by receiving an introduction and a small gift as appreciation from the Elks.
Rolland Young was honored as the oldest veteran. Known affectionately as "Swede," he was presented with a United States flag.
"I came out of the war without a scratch," he said.
Swede's service was from 1942-46 in the Atlantic with the U.S. Navy in World War II. He recalls being transferred to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific and ending up in Japan. Swede is also one of the oldest Elks, with 54 years as a member.
There were about 80 veterans and their families honored during the dinner, according to DOES member Alice Hilzer.
Exalted Ruler Tim Boggess began the program by thanking the veterans committee for organizing the dinner. Colors were posted by VFW Post 2551.
One of the speakers veterans heard was Bonnie Rohn, who serves as state commander for Disabled American Veterans. She has served in a number of capacities in support of veterans. Her presentation included a history of the armed forces and explaining free professional services available to veterans and their families through Veterans Administration and other government agencies. She asked veterans to contact her for information.
Additionally, the DOES performed a flag ceremony and detailed the significance of the American flag. They contributed financially to the Elks Lodge Veterans Fund.
Among the activities of Elks is the donation of time and funds to support VA and veterans programs in Morgan County. Members visit local nursing facilities to offer VA guidance or to just spend time with veterans.
"The underside of the veterans services indicate that the homeless, those in need of mental health services or family counseling, is also a part of what we do," Larry Worth said. "Suicide among veterans is 50 percent higher than the general population."
In Brush, there is a monthly event on the 22nd day of the month to bring attention to the cause of veterans suicide.
Additionally, Elks provide care packages with hygiene items and blankets and work with Rising Up to help serve veterans. Another program the lodge participates with addresses the relationship between animals and veterans. Not only do they help veterans learn to trust and care through animals, they can help with arrangements to take care of their pets while they are being treated.
The Elks Lodge also donates thousands of dollars to local programs in the community through the 12-14 scholarships they present annually.
"Most people don't realize what we do. We have programs to provide kids glasses and clothing through the Elks Lodge national foundation," Boggess said.
They will host the Elks Hoop Shoot in December. Not only do kids compete locally, but winners have the opportunity to compete in district and state competition.
If you are interested in more information about the Fort Morgan Elks Lodge, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the Elks at 430 State St. in Fort Morgan.

A key business climate survey published on Monday by the Munich-based Ifo Insitute has shown that business confidence in Germany has fallen for the third consecutive time.
The Ifo Business Climate Index fell 102.0 points in November from 102.9 points in October, suggesting German's economy is cooling down and that sentiment among German businesses has weakened in line with slower economic activity.
The institute's President, Clemens Fuest, reiterated this point. In a phone call on North American news channel CNBC's 'Street Signs', Fuest said that "there are clear signs that the long upturn is ending, the Germany economy is cooling down".
Citing new emissions standards for Germany's auto sector as a significant factor in the slow-down, Fuest also suggested that there is evidence of this on a wider structural sense across all sectors in the country's economy.
"It is broader," he said, "and this reflects that the world economy is cooling down. There are some risk factors such as the situation in Italy and Brexit."
The uncertainty surrounding Italy's contentious budget plan and the progress of the Mrs May's Brexit deal will no doubt have implications for German companies, who are expected to sit tight on investment until these uncertainties are clarified.

Spinia Casino Review
Spinia is a perfect option for the players who just started their experience of Internet gambling. This online casino is very young, yet, it is being constantly innovated and is making its offer of games and bonuses more attractive. You certainly won't get bored at this casino.
If you decide to register at the Spinia casino, your first deposit will be doubled up to €100 and you will receive 25 spins completely free of charge on top of that. Such a bonus for the start will help you to enter the world of the casino entertainment!
Short introduction
In our search for the best online casinos, let's look at one of the newest betting venues available on the Internet. The one we are going to examine today is operating on the Spinia website and, as far as we can guess, it shares a cheerful name of Spinia with its website.
Spinia is an Internet casino that was created in the end of the November of 2018. No question, this gambling website is quite young in comparison to the majority of other online casinos. You will see from this review that despite its rather short existence, Spinia has already gathered umpteen of casino devotees who won't switch to any other gambling website even to those with the longest history.
Why is the Spinia casino operated by N1 Interactive Ltd and based in Birkirkara, Malta has become so popular? What will we found on Spinia website? You will learn all the necessary information about this fantastic place for gambling by reading the current review!
The website and interface of Spinia
Since one of the most crucial qualities of a good online casino is a convenient and transparent website, we would like to start our adventure with a quick trip through the web page of Spinia.
At the very top of the page one will find a logo of Spinia designed in bright colours including green, yellow, violet, blue and red. The very name of this casino as well as its original logo show us a direct association with slot video games that are certainly about making spins. Hence, we hope to find an abundance of video slots as well as some enticing bonus offers dedicated to this particular type of a money game.
Under the logo one can see buttons for signing up and signing in. There are also shortcuts to the pages of Lobby, Promotions, Tournaments, Vip and Payments below. Right to this list, you will find several changing snapshots showing us colourful images of some of the games available on the website as well as the information about some of the bonuses.
There is a line of shortcuts to particular game cathegories under the images. In addition to it, you will find a searching engine allowing you to find your favourite game in a twinkling of an eye. Then comes a block of the icons of the most popular games according to the clients of Spinia and buttons leading to bonus programmes and slot competitions.
Finally, at the bottom of the webpage one can see all possible payment methods, the legal information on the casino and an ever changing line presenting the winnings of the clients playing at Spinia at the moment. This is where you can find a precise physical address of the company owning Spinia that is 27, Triq Torri Wejter, Birkirkara, Malta. Moreover, you will find that the Spinia casino is licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority. The licence's number is MGA/B2C/394/2017 and it was issued on 27/10/2017.
Last but not least, there are vidgets for quick access to a live chat and a list of languages.
This is the way the website of Spinia is organised and we need it acknowledge a number of positive features of its design.
First of all, the website has its own sophisticated style that comprises both aesthetic appearance and the convenience of use. The white and light blue colours of the fond combined with blue and pink colours of the major buttons do not make your eyes tired while you are looking at the website and, at the same time, they emphasise the most crucial parts of the page. You can find anything you need without difficulties even if you are visiting spinia.com for the first time.
Thus, we can claim that Spinia keeps the right balance between presenting its advertising material and providing its clients with essentials on its official website.
Bonuses and promotions at Spinia
Now, when we are positive about the fact that Spinia has a comfortable and user-friendly website, it's time to check its bonus offers.
Right as we thought, the bonuses of Spinia are offering a lot of bounties to the video slot enthusiasts. It doesn't mean that clients with other game preferences won't be pleased with their bonuses, though. Thus, we have the following reward programmes on spinia.com.
The casino's offer of a welcome bonus doubling your first deposit up to €/$100 is good news. Even better news is the fact that you will get extra twenty five spins for the game of Hotline or, in case of unavailability, the spins could be used for playing The Golden Owl of Athena.
When you are finished with your first money reward, it's time to receive the next one. Make your second deposit on the Spinia's website and it will be increased by 50% with a maximum sum equal to €/$150. Again, the casino promises to give you twenty five free spins, although this time they can be used for playing the Turn Your Fortune slot or, in case of unavailability, the slot called Ogre Empire.
Although Spinia doesn't provide its new clients with a no deposit welcome bonus, it still has an utterly fantastic offer. For instance, there is a reload bonus available every Sunday. This reward programme allows the players to relish an additional sum of money up to €/$250 (your deposit is increased by 50%) and a nice pack of twenty five free spins that you can use for playing an amazing slot called Cazino Zeppelin (or Ogre Empire if the first slot is unavailable).
There are also two peculiar bonus programmes that can't be found so easily at other online casinos. The first one is known as Daily slot races. Undoubtedly, this programme is dedicated to real video slot fans. As you can find on the website of Spinia, you have a unique opportunity to participate in seven races held every week in which your gaming results are compared to the results of other participants. The best players are rewarded with extra points and prizes apart from the money gained by playing a slot itself.
Finally, providing Spinia manages to catch your fancy and you start playing on this website regularly, you will get all chances of becoming a VIP client who is praised with extra attention receiving many more bounties than other players do. Being a VIP client allows you to exchange special points given for playing games into real money, extend your limit of withdrawal and receive special rewards such as voyages and trips to the destinations of your dreams.
Mobile version of Spinia
At the moment of composing this review, we haven't found a separate mobile application dedicated to the Spinia casino. Still, the entire design of its website is mobile-friendly that means you can easily use it on your portable devices.
Anyway, such a successful gambling venue will certainly make its best to provide its clients with an appropriate mobile software in the near future.
Methods of payment at Spinia
There is gazillion of options Spinia's clients can choose from for making their deposits and paying out their prizes. They include the most popular options such as e-wallets, credit and debit cards as well as bank transfers. Some of the methods you can use for making your deposit are iDebit, instaDebit, EcoPayz, Paysafe Card, MasterCard, Neteller, Skrill, Trustly, Visa and Sofortuberwaisung. The same options are available for withdrawing your winnings.
Certainly, experienced players know that not only the variety of payment methods available in a casino is important, but also the withdrawal time. As usually, the fastest withdrawing is possible in case of using e-wallets that takes two hours at maximum. Using credit or debit cards makes you wait from one day up to five days, whereas the fastest bank transfers will be made in three days, although this time might be elongated up to five days as well.
There is a withdrawal limit at Spinia, however, the maximum sum you can withdraw during a day is great as it is 4000 EUR.
The choice of games and the best games at Spinia
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, any experienced gambler knows there is no best game suitable for everyone. Since everyone has its own preferences, we try to check the games available in online casinos under diverse categories that helps us to learn more interesting features of them.
Firstly, if you have a grasp of knowledge on the topic of modern casino game developers, you would be interested in learning that Spinia offers the games created by Pragmatic Play, Authentic Gaming, Microgaming, NetEnt, Booming Games, Habanero, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, Thunderkick, Endorphina, Yggdrasil Gaming. So, as far as you can see, the library of games available on Spinia website includes the products designed by the top studios and their variety is impressive.
Secondly, if we look at the most popular games among the Spinia's clients, we will see a range of video slots and some of card games. For example, the players at Spinia are keen on playing Live Blackjack, Wolf Gold, Fruit Wrap, The Golden Owe of Athena, Immortal Romance, Show Me the Mummy, Book of Aztec, Thunderstruck, Turn Your Fortune, Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, Boom Shakalaka and Mega Moolah most of all. As far as you can see, many of the Spinia's clients are crazy about playing video slots. If you enjoy this type of a game as well, you will be certainly pleased to learn there were 1183 video slot machines available on the website at the moment the current review was written!
Still, it doesn't mean you must be in the same games as other online gamblers. For the time being, you can choose from a great number of video slots with sophisticated graphics and interesting plots. There is also a numerous choice of roulette games including Auto Roulette, American Roulette, Deutsches Roulette, Roulette First Person, Live Immersive Roulette and other types of this popular game. Those, who are crazy about card games, will have an opportunity to relish a game of Live Blackjack B, Blackjack classic 30, Baccarat Controlled, Caribbean Poker, Casino Hold'em Poker and many others. The choice of video games and live games at Spinia is will easily satisfy any demanding gambling pro.
Jackpots at Spinia
Undoubtedly, people play casino games hoping to win huge sums of money. Therefore, a proper examination of a gambling website includes checking the information on the winnings available at this place.
Providing you are an experienced gambler, you definitely know that the prevailing type of a casino game offering a jackpot to the players is a video slot machine. At the moment, Spinia has got ninety slots with jackpots and the amounts of these jackpots are constantly changing. We would like to mention some of the current jackpots just in order to allow you to imagine how much money it is possible to win on spinia.com.
The games with the greatest jackpots overcoming two million dollars include Mega Moolah and Mega Moolah ISIS. Some slots will give you winnings equal to several hundreds of thousands of dollars, for example, Faerie Spells. There is also a long list of games with somewhat smaller jackpots such as Good Girl Bad Girl, Witches' Charm, Versailles Gold, The Great Egypt, The Secrets of London, Shining Crown, The Secrets of Alchemy and many others.
Unlike many other online casinos, Spinia also has other types of video games with jackpots. For instance, you can play Virtual Roulette and win several thousands of dollars or even more depending on the current state of a jackpot.
Customer support at Spinia
As expected, we now come to the point of scrutinising the customer support provided by Spinia.
First of all, we should point out that Spinia has already translated its website into multiple languages despite its short existence on the Internet. Some of the languages currently available on the website are English, German, Polish, Russian, Norwegian, Dutch and Finnish.
Second of all, we are pleased to find detailed information on all the basic parts of playing casino games on the website. Thus, there are articles on game rules, terms and conditions, privacy policy, registration procedure and support. You will also find a special button for making complaints in case you need it.
As we have already mentioned it in the chapter on the website interface, there is a button leading to the live chat. You can contact the customer support via this chat or a contact form. These options are available twenty four days a week. At the moment phone support is unavailable.
Opinions on Spinia and our conclusion
Assuming you look through the gambling forums, you will certainly find that Spinia has especially high marks. Usually, it rate is over nine in ten points that is an unbelievably high score for such a young gambling venue. And, if you are interested in our judgement, it is exactly the same.
Spinia gives an impression of a gambling website that benefits from its short existence rather than suffer from it. When you are surfing from its website, it quickly becomes clear that the developers have taken into consideration all the mistakes made by other online casinos and have made their best in order to avoid their repetition.
The approach the designers applied to the creation of Spinia is flexible and still systematic. The entire website is minimalistic with a view to making its use more convenient and yet, it is also stylish and functional. A good illustration of it is a great search engine that allows you to apply various filters for getting the most adequate results. Not only can you choose a type of game, video or live version, the possibility to win jackpot, but you can also choose from the games developed by particular studios.
Apart from an abundance of games, Spinia also has fantastic bonus offers, a VIP programme and regular tournaments that enriches the gambling experience of any player. This combined with professional customer support, modern payment methods, safety and security takes the entire gambling process to the highest level.
Finally, the casino staff say Spinia is the best slot casino. Although we believe there are no limits for perfection, Spinia is definitely one of the greatest places to play games with real money!

Upon receiving my extensions they looked great! Shipping took extra days even though I paid extra for the faster shipping so keep that in mind.

Many people are raised BADLY - with no respect for law or life. We see this most graphically in parts of Palestine where and when jihadistic parents dress their children up as sucide bombers and extol to them the "loveliness" of committing genocide.
Poverty does NOT cause children grow up badly and to behave in this way - nor does ethnicity; bad parenting does. Some of the finest parents in the history of the world were poor. Or ARE poor! Some of the worst are rich. Poor people can - and DO - raise WONDERFUL children who grow up to be good people (regardless of whether they become rich or poor themselves). And poor persecuted people can also raise wonderful kids. So racism is NO EXCUSE.
The breakdown of LAW AND ORDER in New Orleans is widespread BUT PERPETRATED by RELATIVELY FEW PEOPLE -- by THUGS and CRIMINALS - these are people who were thugs and criminals BEFORE the flood, and they are merely using the flood as an excuse to do what they ALWAYS want to do and often do when tthere is no flood and they think no one is looking!
Primarliy the lawlessness is the fault of the lawbreakers. As I have written and linked to in other posts: lawbreakers have been tolerated for way way WAY TOO LONG in New Orleans. This must stop. Adult lawbreakers must be dealt with harshly and imprisoned. Parents and schools must be made accountable for raising good LAW-ABIDING citizens.
After the clean up, and BEFORE reconstruction, we must plan a "NEW NEW ORLEANS" with better housing, better plumbing, better schools, and better jobs. Whole sections of the city will be bulldozed and perhaps the stae and the city and ther feds should declare vast tracks PUBLIC - by eminent domain - and then redeveloped with factories and schools and churches and everything that makes a city's physical plant attractive to investment, businesses, and the middleclass. I belive that New New Orleans might very well become a shining city on a hill - or levee, (HEH! - you should please PARDON the bad joke!).
With a new urban physical plant - properly zoned and financed by a combination of private and public sources - and with a new public committment to pro-social values and a new INTOLERANCE for lawlessness I am ABSOLUTELY SURE that NEW New Orleans will be mo' better than ever!
Besides the perp's themselves, the LOCAL AUTHORITIES BEAR THE MOST RESPONSIBILTY for allowing the conditions which permitted the lawlessness to be so rampant. The local government was inept and utterly incompetent. They should have been better prepared and had a plan to get poor people out of the city and to prevent looting in the otherwise vacated city. They did neither.
FOR INSTANCE, (as had been noted elsewhere), the locals could have AND THEREFORE SHOULD HAVE commandeered ALL CITY BUSES to forcibly evacuate EVERYONE BEFORE THE HURRICANE. They had the buses. They did nothing. The buses are now flooded, and useless because hey weren't even moved to higher ground for use AFTER a flood! This is UTTER INCOMPETENCE by LOCAL GOVERNMENT - (and somewhat by the state and the feds for NOT CATCHING IT BEFOREHAND).
The slowness of relief is another matter. Water and food should have been air-dropped at all central gathering locations (such as the Dome and the Convention Center) within the first 48 hours. It wasn't. For this the FEMA chief should be FIRED. But the slowness of relief is NO EXCUSE FOR LAWLESSNESS.
NOW: I think that the president ought to appoint Colin Powell and Tommy Franks and Rudy Giuliani (and a staff) nto lead a 3-man "Katrina Reconstruction Presidential Oversight Commission" to advise and assist the 3 effected governors (and all the effected mayors) and to make sure that they DO THE RIGHT THINGS with federal assistance.

Creating a Social University for PhysiciansPosted by Judith Rich in [ARCHIVE] JiveWorld16 on Mar 14, 2016 9:53:00 PM
Currently enjoying my time at this year's JiveWorld, I've had the pleasure of attending the Jive Healthcare Summit, a special content track dedicated to the healthcare industry. The day's sessions welcomed top thought leaders from the healthcare world including from organizations such as MD Anderson, Healthsparq, Spectrum Health, Trinity Health among others. They all had unique stories to tell about how Jive helped them implement communities that not only improved the lives of their employees but also helped benefit their patients. Now that's powerful!
After lunch, I sat it on Trinity Health's workshop, presented by Amy Castillo, Senior Learning Consultant who walked us through how they implemented a physician resident community across a network of 28 teaching hospitals. All using Jive of course, Amy explained that their community called gmeUniversity is exactly what their staff of physician leaders and residents needed to learn and grow.
Amy broke down the entire process of setting up their community:
Why Build a New Way of Learning?
Explaining that the modern learner is extremely overwhelmed, Amy highlighted a powerful quote that stuck with me - "1% of a typical workweek is all that employees have to focus on training and development." --Bersin by Deloitte. Put that through a medical resident's filter and I bet that percentage goes down a lot more, which is why Trinity turned to a modern community that's interactive, intuitive and inherently social. They chose Jive!
Key Features:
Trinity knew that in order for their community to be effective and widely adopted, it needed the following elements:
- Live learning - virtual training sessions directly available on the community for training events
- Just-in-time - a library of educational content including articles, videos, lectures, TED Talks and videos
- Collaboration - shared learning across the system with just-in-time learning support and a best practice exchange
- Tracking & reporting - a system for tracking learning activities such as discussions, journal clubs & didactic sessions
Benefits of gmeUniversity:
By implementing the above, gmeUniversity has become the place physicians and medical residents turn to for learning and support. gmeUniversity provides:
- A common one-stop platform for residency programs
- Virtual collaboration between program directors, faculty and residents
- Just-in-time learning across all communications devices (especially mobile)
- Sharing of pertinent learning materials
- Expert knowledge of hard-to-reach talent such as part time, remote or highly specialized faculty
- Easy to use, self-service interface to create online courses and materials
Lessons Learned:
With any new endeavor worth its salt, there's always things to take away to make them better for next time.
- Engagement is the #1 skill to learn for gmeUniversity faculty members
- Everyone is unique and takes a different path (and timing) to learn
- Show people the possibilities and they will come
- Create templates and tools to make implementation faster
With the first day of JiveWorld behind us, I'm invigorated by all I've learned so far and what is yet to come over the next few days. If you're at the event, please stop by at the Social Command Center on Level 1 and say hello. Also don't forget tomorrow's awesome line-up of speakers including our big Keynote at 8:30 a.m. in the Pinyon Ballroom. There's a special surprise in store that you won't want to miss!

Bright green colors reflected off the Straits of Mackinac – the waterway that flows under Michigan's Mackinac Bridge, connecting Lake Michigan and Lake Huron – as the Northern lights paid a welcome visit to the area over the weekend.
Dustin Dilworth, of Gaylord, Michigan, located about an hour south of the Mackinac Bridge, was one of many who traveled to Mackinaw City to witness the stunning phenomenon Sunday night.
He shared a 43-second timelapse of the event on his photography Facebook page Monday morning. The post went viral with more than 5,700 shares and 133,000 video views as of Tuesday afternoon.
"How beautiful! I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights!" one Facebook fan exclaimed.
"Beautiful! Saw these in the late 1950's while sleeping on our boat in Lake St. Clair," another commented.
"Where I first saw them 38 years ago. Spectacular!" one woman added.
Northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, are created when space particles hit Earth's atmopshere.
"These electrons originate in the magnetosphere, the region of space controlled by Earth's magnetic field. As they rain into the atmosphere, the electrons impart energy to oxygen and nitrogen molecules, making them excited. When the molecules return to their normal state, they release photons, small bursts of energy in the form of light," NASA states on its website.
Many people travel to Michigan in hopes of spotting the spectacular display. There are several spots to catch the show, thanks to the state's low light pollution, state tourism website Pure Michigan says.
"Northern Michigan sits in a great location latitude-wise, as the auroral oval dips further south on nights of stronger auroral activity," Pure Michigan explains in a blog post. "The Upper Peninsula is blessed with hundreds of miles of shoreline along the south shore of Lake Superior, which provides some of the best northern lights viewing in the lower 48 due to the very dark night skies."
The site lists Headlands International Dark Sky Park, Eagle River, Eagle Harbor, Copper Harbor, among other locations around the state, as optimal viewing areas.
Locals hinted at other great viewing spots by tagging their locations in social media posts.

What is your cDNA clone guarantee?
cDNA guarantee: Plate-row-column coordinates, accessions, DNA sequences, and annotations originate from the supplier and have not been independently verified by us. We will be responsible for replacing or crediting clones that clearly do not correspond to the associated clone ID, even though such errors almost always originate from the supplier organization (usually the IMAGE consortium). However, we will not be responsible for errors or changes in clone accessions, sequences, and annotations. The Unigene cluster ID for an EST is a particularly volatile (and untrustworthy) identifier and we will not replace a clone merely because this has been changed by the NCBI.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Paul La Farge's Luminous Airplanes is itself a luminous book, an exquisitely polished small world of characters and emotions that captures a generation's coming of age through the perspective of one young man. La Farge's first-person narrator is a literary seeing eye whose name we never learn, but he belongs to the generation sometimes called Gen X, and his growing up occurs side-by-side with vertiginous changes in American culture. As a kid, the narrator learns to program in BASIC on one of the first home computers; as a young man, he finds a way to make his living in the world as a "content manager" - a line of work that seems strangely absurd and empty of content (even though the pay is good until the Silicon Valley bubble pops).
This technological evolution, along with the narrator's other struggles with family and romantic identity, read as true-to-life and symbolic in the same breath. The narrator drives from San Francisco to upstate New York to clean out his grandparents' home, and the revisiting of old childhood spaces blends with memory in a telescoping narrative that feels like a good simulacrum of the way a person constructs identity. It's a confusing and messy situation, and the past and the present are never free of each other. The young man shows up in his grandparents' small town in his ironic city clothes, a "burgundy leather jacket and thrift-store shirt with the monkey Curious George depicted performing various activities against a yellow background." Is this the attire of the hip and retro, or of the sad and lost?
La Farge has done a masterful job creating a world that is at once emotionally real and self-consciously literary on every page. The prose is sharp and beautiful, and the characters are so engaging they may lull the reader into thinking of Luminous Airplanes as a conventional novel. It isn't. At one point the narrator finds he doesn't want to read a book he's been toting around for months. "Reading a novel, especially a contemporary novel, with its small stock of characters and situations, felt like being stuffed into a sleeping bag head-first: it was warm and dark and there wasn't a lot of room to move around." But La Farge gives his readers plenty of space. The novel is as delicately constructed as a lyric poem - every detail is carefully connected by the finest of threads. The story is at once a good yarn and a record of a moment in history that hasn't yet been thoroughly explored. I found the subject matter especially intense and revealing, as the narrator and I (and La Farge himself) are exactly the same age. Yet even as I was immersed in the story (as a story) I could hear the murmurs of literary conversations going on everywhere in the text. The novel is funny and loving and imaginative, and at every turn there is evidence of a keen and generous intelligence at work behind the scenes. This is a book that demands to be read again.
In this spirit, Paul La Farge achieves the masterstroke that allows the book to take off into the next chapter of American literary history; it turns out that the end of Luminous Airplanes is not the end after all. The novel continues in installments online (at www.luminousairplanes.com) along with evolving commentary from the narrator/writer and a special apparatus for browsing.
It's tempting to be skeptical about a novel's jump into hypertext - or as La Farge calls it, "immersive text." I'm as Luddite a reader as they come (Wouldn't it be nice to have more books hand printed by letterpress?), but Luminous Airplanes readies the reader for takeoff - the jump to the web fits with the themes and questions presented in the book. What role does technology have to play in our literary future? If anyone can engage this question in a way that is intelligent and experimental, rather than gimmicky, it's Paul La Farge. I expect to learn a great deal from him about how to find meaning in our new world of technology-based literature, as books come out from between their hardcovers. But what is between the covers of this book is satisfying enough - I hope that years from now when my grandchildren are in college trying to understand the zeitgeist of the end of the twentieth century, Luminous Airplanes is on the syllabus.

When Baltimore's new mayor, Catherine Pugh, took office this year she promised some changes. Much of her agenda has been essentially buried by the record setting murder rate they've been battling, but she's still gamely attempted to get some of her other priorities put in place. One of them clearly struck a sour note with the voters, however, and that was a plan to cancel the city's annual Martin Luther King Day parade and replace it with a "Day of Service" in honor of the slain civil rights leader.
Once that decision was announced the blowback was immediate. It grew in volume until Pugh finally had to back down this week and carry on with the traditional parade. (Baltimore Sun)
After fielding complaints from community members, Mayor Catherine Pugh said Tuesday she was reversing a plan to replace next month's Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade with a day of service.
"We heard from people. We'll do the parade and the day of service," she said. "People want to do both."
Pugh had previously said she was planning to cancel the long-running parade to replace it with a day of service, which she felt better honored King's legacy.
But the announcement was quickly criticized by some who saw the mayor taking away a beloved tradition. Nearly 1,400 people signed an online petition Tuesday asking for the parade to be restored.
Pugh seemed to be walking a tightrope between the practical and the politics here. Parades can be expensive affairs with very little return on investment in material terms. They're also increasingly being looked at as possible targets in terror attacks. Considering that the parade was held to honor a man who dedicated his life to public service, a "Day of Service" for everyone to give back to the community certainly sounds like a noble cause.
Also, there are few cities in the United States that could benefit from a huge outpouring of community service and participation more than Baltimore right about now. Public events designed to get people out in public areas and push gang activity back into the shadows have been attempted recently, some producing admirable effects. More of that sort of grassroots work wouldn't be amiss, and MLK Day seems a fitting time to do it.
Unfortunately, the political optics of this were awful. The city's African-American residents were already reportedly feeling left out of City Hall's priorities when Pugh scaled back the size and cost of the city's African-American festival, AFRAM, earlier this year. Cancelling the MLK parade was simply seen as a slap in the face to the black community. (For the record, Pugh herself is African-American.)
The compromise is that they're going to wind up doing the day of service, but also hold the parade. Unfortunately, that may reduce both events in size and participation, but sometimes that's apparently just the political cost of doing business. Best of luck to the mayor in getting her Day of Service off the ground. It sounds like a very positive step in the right direction.

Mark Anthony were the best of friends in many ways. For one thing…
MARK: Anthony's best friend
ANTHONY: Mark's best friend
Mark Anthony were the best of friends. Literally. No one was better at being friends than them. They made sure of it, because they were very competitive. Actually, only Mark was competitive. Anthony wasn't. But they thought that was good, because they balanced each other out.
One day, Anthony was writing a short story for his class Unicorns & Disasters, but he was having trouble thinking of something to write about, except maybe Noah's Ark. But that is used up, he thought.
Mark sensed that Anthony was struggling, so he walked over. This took a while, as Mark had been at the the local Farmers Market, and it was four miles away from Anthony's house. He arrived out of breath—but thankfully still with purpose—for Anthony hadn't thought of a single inspired idea the entire time.
"Anthony old pal, how can I help?"
"Well," said Anthony, "You can help me by helping me."
"Okay," said Mark, "What are you writing about?"
"I don't know," said Anthony, "That's the issue."
"Hear me out…" said Mark, "What if…it was NOT an issue?"
"Good plan," said Anthony, and set to work straight away. He wrote about how Unicorns are almost certain to be a cause of Disaster because of those silly pokey-things sticking out of their heads.
If you see a Unicorn, Anthony concluded, do not run straight towards it.
