Yo-Yo Ma Seeks Online Collaborators
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
SIEGEL: This is All Things Considered from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel. And our next item is about the latest project to spring from the fertile, creative mind of cellist Yo-Yo Ma. It's a contest. Here's Yo-Yo on the first track of his new CD playing "Dona Nobis Pacem," the Latin round that means "Give us peace."
(Soundbite of "Dona Nobis Pacem")
SIEGEL: Yo-Yo Ma's new CD "Songs of Joy and Peace" is a series of collaborations, mostly Christmas songs, featuring an eclectic assortment of musicians - Dave Brubeck, Renee Fleming, James Taylor. Here are bassist, Edgar Meyer, and the mandolinist, Chris Thile, doing their version of "Dona Nobis Pacem."
(Soundbite of "Dona Nobis Pacem" by Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile)
SIEGEL: So here's the Yo-Yo Ma challenge: Produce your own virtual collaboration with him. Download Yo-Yo playing "Dona Nobis Pacem" from the website indabamusic.com, add your music and mix, then upload it. You can hear all the submissions at the website, and after the contest deadline, which is New Year's Eve, Yo-Yo Ma will pick a winner. He's trying to use the Internet to make an interactive experience out of his CD.
Mr. YO-YO MA (Cellist): The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with was that the idea of, you know, of a CD - it's a material possession that you could put in the shelf. And the idea of music for me is always about both the communication and the sharing of content, and so the interactive part is missing. So, indabamusic.com has this wonderful site where people can actually drop in their tracks. And we first dropped in a number of tracks for people to play with. And then the idea is we would then listen to what they put together, and at the end of which, one track will be chosen, and I will meet that person, and I will do something with that person.
SIEGEL: So, what you've done here is you've taken, I guess, what's been an active imagination for as long as there's been recorded sound imagining - me imagining what I would do if I were playing piano along with you as I'm listening to you play the cello, and now I can actually do that, in a way, and not only can I get to hear it, but you might even get to hear it.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Yes, exactly. And, in fact, if you would like to participate in this…
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. YO-YO Ma: …you still have a number of days…
SIEGEL: Yeah, OK.
Mr. YO-YO MA: …to go and drop in a track, and actually, I will listen to it.
SIEGEL: We're going to listen right now to some these submissions that are - that we can hear online. Everyone could go and listen to the pieces that other people have submitted. And for example, this is from - I guess it's Tashio(ph).
(Soundbite of music)
SIEGEL: Now, this is sort of big buildup here of the genre, I guess.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Yeah.
SIEGEL: And at some moment, talk about surprise, because we don't hear you in there yet, do we?
Mr. YO-YO MA: Not that I could tell. I'm drowning in it.
(Soundbite of music)
SIEGEL: What do you think? It's kind of, Give us peace, dude.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Well, this is interesting because, you know, this is like peace in the context of what? And obviously, this is so energetic.
SIEGEL: Mm hmm.
Mr. YO-YO MA: And surprising. There's some surprising harmonic changes in there. I give this one a lot of attention, because I'm thinking, who are you, dude?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. YO-YO MA: And what are trying to tell me?
(Soundbite of music)
SIEGEL: And here's a very surprising take on "Dona Nobis Pacem." This was the submission of Mark Wright. It's called "Sold As A Lullaby," and we'll hear you playing "Dona Nobis Pacem," and then two voices, which I'm assured are - one of them is singing in English, and I'm assured the other one is singing in Hindustani, a language that is kind of a Hindi/Urdu mix. Here it goes.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Mm hmm.
(Soundbite of "Sold As A Lullaby")
SIEGEL: That's very peaceful.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Hey, Robert, this is actually really interesting because here it takes, you know, the original "Dona Nobis Pacem" is obviously something. But this person, Mark Wright is obviously extending the idea of vocalized music beyond sort of the medieval tradition. So, it actually takes it into a present age. It takes the vocal element and it seems well arranged. I think it feels quite original without insisting on it being original.
SIEGEL: Well now we're going to hear - this is the submission from Mike Kawala(ph). It's called "Her Eyes."
(Soundbite of "Her Eyes")
Unidentified Man (singing): Every time I look at you I'm falling in love, Maybe it's her eyes, she keeps me in control, Every time I look at you you control me, and I can't stop...
SIEGEL: See, after that dutiful prelude that we had there, now we're into the real music.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Yeah.
SIEGEL: And I think that's about it for you in this one. Or maybe you're buried under there somewhere. But you know…
Mr. YO-YO MA: That's interesting because, you know, I think obviously Mike has a particular view on, you know, sort of like a bass ostinato under the "Dona Nobis Pacem" theme. But now, he's riffing into a different kind of vibe, literally. And I'm not sure whether that includes, you know, the content of "Dona Nobis." I would have to dig further in order to find it.
SIEGEL: I don't want to prejudge the competition here, Yo-Yo. But I think it's on - it would be a long shot for Mike to be the winner...
Mr. YO-YO MA: Well you know, again…
SIEGEL: Without further clarification from him.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Exactly. I would like some clarification and I think that maybe it's the play is hidden. But on the other hand, I also think that you can only hide so much, because people will listen to something, maybe a couple of times. And if it's too well hidden, then you know, it's a deep, dark secret.
SIEGEL: So, you're interested here, both in technical proficiency, but also in connecting with the theme and doing something that somehow creatively enhances the notion of "Dona Nobis Pacem" with your cello.
Mr. YO-YO MA: Absolutely. I think, you know, when you deal with that subject of Give Us Peace, I think it is such a wide subject, but it does need very focused approaches in order to achieve that goal both musically, as well as you know - as we all know, in real life.
SIEGEL: Well, Yo-Yo Ma as always, it's been great fun talking with you. And thanks for talking with us about your project.
Mr. YO-YO MA: What a treat. Thank you so much for being interested.
SIEGEL: And you can find a link to Yo-Yo's contest and hear tracks from his latest CD at nprmusic.org.

Low-tech solution to predation
A large threat to livestock farmers are natural predators living in surrounding areas. Dr. Neil Jordan from the University of New South Whales in Australia has been working with the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust in hope of finding a solution to this problem. This has led to current research involving painting 'eyes' on cattle's rumps. Click here to read more about the research.

In 1989, Jim Henson hosted a short-lived anthology series on NBC called The Jim Henson Hour. The show was modeled after the classic Walt Disney Presents series, having Henson come out and introduce the night's episode with the Thought Lion (controlled by David Greenaway, Rob Tygner and Mark Wilson, voiced by Michael Kilgarriff) from The StoryTeller segments of the show. The first half of the show would be an updated version of The Muppet Show called MuppeTelevision. The second half featured a variety of content, including the dark-toned The StoryTeller and Lighthouse Island, light-hearted Muppet skits, or mini-movies.
One of those mini-movies was Dog City. Dog City was a film noir parody set in a world entirely populated by anthropomorphic dogs, inspired by the series of paintings by C.M. Coolidge. Ace Yu (Kevin Clash) traveled to the city to take over a bar following the murder of his uncle by mob boss Bugsy Them (Henson), whose goons harassed Ace for protection money. The MuppeTelevision portion of the episode served as a set-up for the mini-movie, complete with an introduction and guest-appearance by Rowlf the Dog (Henson). Ace and Kermit the Frog (also Henson) even made a promo for the episode together. It would be only one of three segments of the Hour directed by Henson.
Hour scored three award nominations, but its ratings were abysmal. It was cancelled by NBC before its only season even finished. Henson decided he wanted to get out of the business-side of things and entered negotiations to sell his company to Disney. The deal fell through when he died suddenly the following year (Disney would later acquire the Muppets in 2004). The Henson family took over management of the company, with his son, Brian, being named president, chairman and CEO at the start of 1991. The younger Henson set out to make the Henson catalogue of characters work for the company, which included a deal with FOX Kids to bring the popular Dog City segment to their network.
|Eliot Shag at his drawing table.
Although it retained the name and its spoof on the film noir genre, Dog City underwent some heavy revisions from its original concept. The anthropomorphic dog motif remained, but the show was basically two-in-one; with Henson Productions producing puppet segments and Nelvana producing animated segments that would air together and play off each other. The puppet segments followed German Shepherd Eliot Shag (primarily Clash, retained from the special, with assistance from Don Reardon), an animator who drew the adventures of private eye Ace Hart (Ron White) in the tough streets of Dog City. Eliot would often translate his own dilemmas (typically interruptions when he was trying to work) into the stories and characters surrounding Ace, with the two tales often running parallel. The two of them would also break the fourth wall and interact with each other, with Ace giving input over his own story.
|Bruno, Colleen, Bowser and Artie all interrupting Eliot.
The puppet segments also featured collie Colleen Barker (Fran Brill, also from the special), Eliot's on-and-off girlfriend; bulldog Bruno (Brian Muehl, who was instructed to emulate Henson in his performance), the building's surly and incompetent superintendent; St. Bernard Bowser (David Rudman), Bruno's dim-witted assistant; English Springer Spaniel Artie Springer (Joey Mazzarino), Eliot's young neighbor and his biggest admirer; and feline Ms. Fluffé (Kathryn Mullen & Lisa Buckley), Eliot's aloof landlady. All of the puppets were recycled from the special and given some cosmetic makeovers; with Colleen even retaining her name.
|Ace, Eddie and Rosie on the case.
Over in Ace's world, there was Rosie O'Gravy (Elizabeth Hanna), the beautiful, by-the-book chief of detectives who also served as Ace's love-interest. The two often exchanged witty barbs and the affection was often mutual, but Rosie's first love was the law and would never hesitate to lock up Ace if the law required it. She was also the most competent cop on the force, with the rest of the police department being akin to the Keystone Kops. Eddie (Stuart Stone) was a young and enthusiastic news-pup that often followed Ace on his cases. Eddie was hungry for knowledge, and always preempted a barrage of facts with "It's a well-known fact…"
|The cast (from top): Frisky, Bruiser, Rosie, Ace, Barron, Kitty, Leon, Dot, Eddie and Bugsy.
Ace's chief opponent was Bugsy Vile (John Stocker), the "Dogfather of Crime", and his henchmen. Bugsy's henchmen included the excitable chihuahua Frisky (James Rankin); psychotic mongrel Mad Dog (Stephen Ouimette), who could only communicate through snarling and mauling until a bump on the head (at least once per episode) turned him articulate; his muscle-bound, though ultimately kind-hearted, nephew Bruiser (Howard Jerome); and his cat moll Kitty (Tabitha St. Germain), who actually was the brains behind Bugsy's plans. Kitty owned the Kitty Kat Club, which served as the gang's hideout.
|One of Barron's schemes almost saw Rosie marrying him.
Also giving trouble to Ace was German Rottweiler Baron Von Rottweiler (Dan Hennessey), a stereotypical German villain with a monocle and tailored suits, and his mute dachshund valet, Leon Burger. As the owner of Rottweiler Explosives Incorporated, it was rare to not see Barron without some form of explosive device. Barron's often maniacal schemes, generally involving twisted science, painted him as more of a spoof of typical Bond villains. His plans were often thwarted by his own valet's love of fetch, which usually resulted in Leon retrieving some kind of dangerous item.
|Kitty feeds a scheme to Bugsy.
Dog City, also known as Jim Henson's Dog City, debuted on FOX on September 26, 1992. Along with spoofing various movies in the crime genre, the series' humor came from the plethora of dog-related puns in its writing. That included names of characters and places, parodies of real-life products and people, episode titles, and even expressions. Henson veteran Clash was in charge of coordinating the puppets, while fellow veteran Mullen served as a voice coach for the Canadian animation cast during the first season. Writers for the show included J.D. Smith, Marty Isenberg, Robert N. Skir, Jim Lewis, Peter Sauder, David Finley, Michael Edens, Mark Saraceni, Rich Fogel, Vince Grittani, Julia Lewald, Dale Schott, Mark Seidenberg, Kirk R. Thatcher, John Ludin, Cliff MacGillivray and Craig Shemin, with Sauder and Smith serving as story editors. The music was composed by Phil Balsam.
|The second season cast, featuring Terri (bottom), Ms. Fluffé (top), and Eliot's new look.
The show was renewed for two additional seasons, and both came with some changes. For the second season, the character of Colleen was dropped, with the in-story explanation of having moved away, and replaced by Artie's mother, Terri (still Brill), in an attempt to have a female character whose identity wasn't just "Eliot's girlfriend" and give Artie some kind of family. Terri was a confident businesswoman and single mother, which explained why Artie hung out with Eliot so often. Fluffé was originally intended as a one-off character but was given a recurring role with Buckley assuming her performance. Bruno and Bowser were also given larger roles. Eliot was given a new look; his striped shirt and sweater vest replaced by a t-shirt and open Hawaiian shirt. On the animated side, O'Gravy was given a rival in the form of Mayor Kickbark (Ouimette). He was the mayor of Dog City who always undermined O'Gravy either intentionally or accidentally, hampering investigations. Kickbark was often accompanied by his flunky, Spunky (Stocker).
|The Woof Pack.
For the third season, which was also the show's shortest, Dog City's format was heavily revamped. The noir spoofing and references were greatly reduced in favor of science fiction and sitcom elements. The animated segments were split to include several rotating short slapstick segments that interjected during the main story: "His Masters Choice Theater", spoofing Masterpiece Theater, was hosted by Bugsy from his prison cell and featured sketches starring Frisky; "Rosie and Dot" had O'Gravy spending time with her niece, Dot (Tara Strong), who often only said "Why?"; "The Woof Pack" saw the return of superhero guest-character the Watch Dog now leading a team of heroes in a spoof of the genre; "The Adventures of Moogie" gave Artie's favorite chew toy his own spotlight (narrated and "animated" by Artie in a slightly different style); and "Yves and Seven" (pronounced like "even Steven"), where literal cat burglar Yves (Rino Romano) ended up being foiled by dimwitted, overweight guard dog, Steven (George Buza). Each segment had its own title card introducing the shift in focus from the main story.
|Yves and Steven.
In true Dog City fashion, the new segments were introduced to the audience by Eliot himself in the first episode of the season. Following the show's cancellation, the final episode also served as a series finale; with Eliot and his characters saying farewell to each other and the audience within context of the story (Eliot was actually going away on vacation and was going to miss Ace). All of the animated series regulars made cameos in the episode, and the segments interjected into the main story rather than being separated as usual. During the show's run, it was nominated for several Gemini Awards, winning one for "Best Children's Television Programming" for 1993-94. Following its conclusion in the United States, the show was translated into German, French, Italian, Danish and Swedish and broadcast internationally.
|Rosie and Dot camping out next to Bugsy.
In 1993, Sony Wonder released two VHS collections of the show. The Big Squeak contained the episode of the same name and "Boss Bruiser". Much Ado About Mad Dog also contained the titular episode, and "Old Dogs, New Tricks". In 2006, Australia got a DVD release called Disobedience School that featured five episodes, including the titular one. The first five episodes of the German dub of the show was released to DVD in 2008 by Foreign Media Group. It was re-released by Constructive Media Service in 2009, following their release of the next five episodes the month before. 1993 also saw Western Publishing releasing a coloring book based on the show. In 1994, Golden Books released an adaptation of "The Big Squeak" as part of their Golden Look-Look Books line.
|Dog City: The Movie.
Between 2005-2010, the original special, called Dog City: The Movie, was released to home video without the MuppeTelevision segments, since they are owned by Disney (Rowlf's appearance in the actual film remained, however). HTI Entertainment released it in the United Kingdom and Lions Gate Entertainment in the United States. KSS Films released it in Japan on Laserdisc and was the only release to include the Muppet segments.

(ABC, September 10, 1977-June 21, 1980)
Hanna-Barbera Productions
Mel Blanc –Captain Caveman
Vernee Watson – Dee Dee Sykes
Laurel Page –Taffy Dare
Marilyn Schreffler – Brenda Chance
Gary Owens – Opening narration
From 1977-1979, Hanna-Barbera dominated two hours of Saturday morning on ABC. This programming block was dubbed Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics, and featured 11 minute episodes of Laff-A-Lympics and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder, 22 minute episodes of The Scooby-Doo Show and reruns of Scooby-Doo, Where are You!, and, the focus of this particular entry, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.
|Cavey preparing to charge into battle.
Created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the show was a parody of the popular ABC television series Charlie's Angels. The Teen Angels—comprised of their brilliant unofficial leader Dee Dee Skyes (Vernee Watson), the cowardly Brenda Chance (Marily Schreffler), and the clever Taffy Dare (Laurel Page)—stumbled across the frozen body of Captain Caveman (Mel Blanc) and thawed him out. "Cavey," as the girls called him, found inspiration in his design from the Slag Brothers from the earlier Wacky Races series; having a body almost entirely obscured by thick fur except for his appendages and nose. He possessed super strength and flight, as well as the ability to hide and pull anything from out of his hairy body and eat almost anything. However, his abilities were often hampered by his limited intelligence. His club also contained a variety of tools he could use on a case, provided by a prehistoric bird that lived inside.

Following Hanna-Barbera's sleuth series formula, the group traveled the globe solving mysteries. Usually, the villain would be apprehended by a zany plan of Taffy's who used Cavey's crush on her to talk him into being the bait. The series was written by Neal Barbera, Larz Bourne, Bill Butler, Tom Dagenais, Earle Doud, Fred Freiberger, Donald F. Glut, Dave Ketchum, Haskell Barkin, Joseph Bonaduce, Chuck Couch, Lee Davenport, Mark Jones and Orville H. Hampton. Hoyt Curtin served as the show's composer and reused his theme from C.B. Bears for the show's credits.
|Flashlight power! Kinda.
Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels' first season ran as part of Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics from September 10 to December 24, 1977, running one 11-minute segment per week. The characters also all appeared in the Laff-A-Lympics segment of the block as members of the Scooby Doobies team, filling in for the intended characters from Josie and the Pussycats, whose rights were held by Archie Comics. The 8-episode second season remained with the block when it was reduced to 90 minutes and renamed Scooby's All-Stars in 1978. In 1980, the series graduated to its own half-hour for 16 more episodes. During the run, Cavey and the Angels appeared in Hanna-Barbera TV Stars and Scooby-Doo #9, both published by Marvel Comics. Milton Bradley also released a board game based on the show. In 2018, a more realistic take on Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels appeared as a back-up feature in Aquaman/Jabber Jaw Special #1, part of the second-wave of Hanna-Barbera/DC Comics crossovers.
Following the show's cancellation, Captain Caveman remained a Hanna-Barbera mainstay throughout the 80s, joining his prehistoric brethren on The Flintstone Comedy Show and then The Flintstone Kids, and appearing in numerous parodies and cameos in the years following. The Teen Angels, however, weren't so lucky as it took them until 2011 to resurface in an episode of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. In 1988, Castilian released a collection of 13 episodes on VHS in the United Kingdom. In 2013, the entire series was released to DVD by Warner Archive as part of their Hanna-Barbera Classics Collection.

SC Johnson Cleans Up Dollar General's Holiday
As it has in previous years, SC Johnson continues to enjoy a prominent role in Dollar General's holiday marketing efforts.
Co-op activity kicked off on Sept. 30 with an email blast from Dollar General plugging Glade's holiday collection, which hit stores the same day. The line is stocked on endcap displays offering $2 off an $8 brand purchase from Sept. 24 to Dec. 26. Multiple circular features promote the incentive.
In digital activity, a home page carousel ad on dollargeneral.com plugs the holiday collection, linking to a mobile-optimized brand page hosting $5.50 worth of digital coupons valid through Jan. 4.
SC Johnson's annual "Happy Thanksgathering" campaign also received special attention with features in the digital versions of Dollar General's Nov. 5 and 19 circulars linking to a page of $12 worth of digital coupons for the manufacturer's products.
SC Johnson wasn't the only CPG manufacturer to stand out at the dollar store chain. PepsiCo/Frito-Lay used a feature in the digital version of the retailer's Nov. 5 circular to plug a holiday rewards program. Shoppers who purchased a SKU from brands including Cheetos, Tostitos, Mountain Dew and Schweppes from Sept. 25 to Nov. 19 received a receipt code redeemable at the co-op dgrewards.com website for one point. Shoppers who earned four points received one of four "Winter Wonderland Village" figurines.
In other seasonal activity, Dollar General ran a "Pre-Holiday Savings Event" from Nov. 19-22. Window signs promoted the sale, which offered $5 off the purchase of two third-party gifts cards and deals on products from brands including private label Clover Valley, Mattel's Hot Wheels and Coca-Cola Co.'s Sprite. Features in the retailer's Nov. 19 circular, a home page carousel ad and multiple emails supported. The retailer opened from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, offering another batch of deals from Nov. 23-25 including "BOGO 75% off" toys, "buy two get one free" Glade wax melts and candles, and BOGOs on Nestle-Purina's Beggin'.
Dollar General released its annual "Toy Book" on Oct. 15, two-weeks earlier than last year. The 24-page guide offers deals on brands including Hallmark Cards' Crayola, Hasbro's Nerf and Toy State Industrial's Road Rippers and dangles 25% off a $75 category purchase through Dec. 24. Shelf signs in the toy aisle and a home page carousel ad promote the discount.

With so many albums making headlines in 2013, many of Hip Hop's top artists are stepping up their game per their own releases.
Pusha T is one of those artists, and in a recent interview with Esquire he explains why his upcoming album, My Name Is My Name will be the best release this year.
"Well, I've heard a lot of them. And mine is better. [Laughs]," Pusha said. "I just know what I'm looking to bring to the music game, and it's a certain level of energy. I've made the perfect album that I want to put in my car and ride to."
The G.O.O.D. Music artist also talked about his labelmate Kanye West and his role as executive producer.
"Ye is a genius, man. Working under him, being a student, because that's exactly what I turned into — being a student under his school is a blessing. Somebody who's in touch and in tune with who I am as an artist — he's a fan of my work — and trying to expound on that and make that as great as possible, and still knowing how to be unorthodox, and still being Kanye West the mad scientist, the genius guy, and have those elements sprinkled over my hardcore, street rap music — you couldn't ask for anything else better."
Pusha T was recently quoted saying he will have the best album of 2013. When speaking with Charlotte's Power 98 he also addressed the matter.
"My album is the best album of the year… I think the streets are going to have a classic hip-hop album," he said.

Mom was five ten and despite having given delivery if you ask me at the age of nineteen had preserved her determine with only a few pounds included and pouching her tummy. Her breasts, 36C's I realized from snooping, looked firm yet and seriousness defying. Mom's legs were long and muscular. Her favorite footwear for formal occasions were four inch stilettoes while she favored limited, sort installing dresses and dresses for many occasions. She turned her nose up at shorts and jeans. Obviously, with her extended legs on screen, she used stockings virtually every day. Even though over time I had seen Mother in various stages of undress, I never truly paid any attention to her in a sexual way. My female attractions were the girls I visited college with, never having any problems finding a girlfriend. It was just in senior high school while chatting with some pals after class had been terminated for the day, that I started initially to see Mother as a sexually beautiful creature. Certainly one Online Free Cam Sex Chat of my guys directed to a hot blonde strolling throughout the parki ng lot inside our general direction.
That's one hot momma! he said pointing her out. That person describes MILF, said another. Holy fuck, people, that is my mom! Everyone else looked over one another in different quantities of embarrassment before scuttling away. Strolling like she were on a model's runway, Mummy came around me. My eyes exposed by the inventors, I'd to acknowledge making use of their depiction of her as a MILF. From that afternoon onward, I sought out options to look at my MILF. It did not matter if she were in washing suits or skirts and dresses, I looked at her as a lady and perhaps not a mother in the most surreptitious manner I could. When she was out and I was home alone, I'd also discover my nose in her underwear drawer. Literally. The perfume she used adhered to her clean laundry. Her normal fragrance, or musk, honored her used underwear in the garments Webcam Online Porn hamper. My last summertime house before university felt to find me in a perpetual state of orange balls. It was the latest summertime in noted record of our region meaning enough time was spent in the pool. A coincidence, no doubt, but with my buddies and their friends visiting almost daily, girls look to find themselves in a continuing opposition to see who'd the skimpiest swimwear, the sexiest human anatomy in that bikini, and the most unreasonable behaviour in their bikinis. Mother arrived on the scene to see what the commotion was about on one of our earliest times, to find the girls doing hot dances and flashing us from their point on the diving board.
My mom had equally and my ecent discovery of Mom as a sexy Teen meant I always admired her in a bikini. In the same way she was planning to keep the room, she made instantly, finding me dmiring her ass. Send them home today, Hector, she demanded. Training my eyes to meet her gaze, I saw a twinkle in her eye and a look, almost, on her face. Sure, Mother, correct now. My friends were obviously disappointed to find out that our morning fun had been named to a close. They certainly were all muttering unkind points while they gathered up their points and departed. I was furious with my mom that she had ashamed me by sending my friends away. I was also ashamed that she'd caught us in our gentle sexual flirting. And, I was more ashamed that she had found me looking at her company and taut ass.
Her look was below my eyes. Was she checking me out? Wondering if which was even possible seeme d to breathe life in to my dick since it started to develop some more. Mom desired to apologise on her behalf behaviour early in the day and her pursuing my friends away. I apologised to her for disrespecting her by allowing my buddies to behave that way. My mom stepped aside of my bed and explained Free Webcam Sex Chat she wanted a hug. I sat up at the medial side of the sleep and before I really could stand up, Mom shut the exact distance between people, pulling me tight against her because hug. My hands went around her as well. Mother was however carrying her bikini from earlier that day. And, due to the level big difference between people, my head was against Mom's 36C's. She'd her hands about me dragging me as firmly as possible against them. My hands were about her middle, hugging her as tightly. I do not know where I got the nerve to accomplish it but I made my head so that my lips were against certainly one of her breasts. She jumped a little in a reaction to the surprise, I suppose, and abruptly her ass was in my hands. Naturally enough, I packed her butt cheeks. I guess how you can begin this story is to add myself. My title is Hector and I am a nineteen year old first year scholar Live Sex Chat With Cam at a university in regards to a two time drive from home.
She was looking forward to me in the kitchen. She wasn't smiling. Hec, you can't let those girls accomplish that, she said. But, Mother, they were only dancing. These were not just dance, Hector. They were also blinking you boys. I don't need that happening in my own house. But, Mom. My mother interrupted me. No, but mothers, she claimed in a tone revealing she was near to being angry. I will not own it, son! Conceding destroy, I replied, Yes, Mom. I do believe you must deliver your friends home now. Mother made and stepped away, leaving me with no possible response except to look at her wriggling ass. As mentioned, I'm a tits and bum man.
The vehicle I went, a current year Honda Mustang was a senior school graduation surprise from my parents. Fortunately, my family was properly off meaning I had never experienced economic problems whenever you want in my life. My father was a
huge picture attorney who'd rarely been home when I was growing up. Dad had devoted his life to attaining wealth through his career. Alexandros, frequently addressed as Alex, was a large, formerly well developed man of Greek heritage. Through the years, Dad had morphed in to a fat slob and a drunk. My mother, Angelika, also of Greek heritage, has been the exact antithesis of my father. Mom was committed to your prolonged family, myself, and our home. While pushing forty years of age, she had maintained her figure. Family images from Mom's childhood revealed a warm small person with major boobs, long blondish hair to her middle, a set belly, and legs that went on forever.
Most of the men chosen girls sporting one eyes, baring their pussies for an instant, but I was generally a tits and ass man. Broke! Also wearing a swimsuit, Mother stood at the far end of the share watching the goings on. The party noticed her almost instantly and named aloud hellos. Obviously, the Free Live Ebony Sex Cams degree of raunchiness on the diving table dropped off. I was not positive if she had observed the flashings from her angle. Maybe we were not busted. Following grinning and waving at the class, Mom made about and delivered to your house, signaling me to follow along with her. I suppose she'd observed our shenanigans following all.
When climbing out, I was positive a few of Mom's laughter was at my expense. My trunks were plastered to my human anatomy and my Mom inspired fat was on display. I left the poolside area as easily as possible using refuge within my room. Later that day, having dried off, I was putting on my sleep, just carrying briefs, texting my pals and hearing audio with my headset on. Getting a thumb out of the place of my eye, I turned to see my mom position in the doorway. I don't understand how long she had been standing there.
Obtaining myself ranking alone at poolside, I determined to completely clean the pool. I truly only had two chores round the house. Hold my room clear and keep the pool clean in involving the regular visits from the share guy. Very little time passed before Mom returned to poolside. To my surprise, in addition to her guide and pipe of sunlight monitor, Mother was also holding a glass of wine. She really was not much of a drinker, a reaction to my father's overindulgence, I suppose. And, our wine cups were huge. Dad sized, I guess. From particular experience, I realized you could pour a lot of wine into one glass. Enough to make me tipsy anyway. Assuming Mother would still be furious with me, I used myself to cleaning the pool really energetically. Of course, I took glances at my mom laying on the chaise when I could. I even moved across the share to find a very good opinions of Mom's breasts. Unfortunately, being centered on Mom's tits, I tripped on the line of the share vacuum. Naturally, I fell into the water.

It snowed this morning! Just enough to make everything white and beautiful. I think that it should do that every morning from now until March.
Today I'm back at the hospital. Just the infusion. No new catastrophes. I get my blood test back today. Hopefully that is good news. I don't know what to do if they say that I have the JC Virus. Do I continue to risk my life on this drug? If I was still episode free I would say yes. Emphatically YES! I have felt so much better on Tysabri than I did on Copaxone. But i did have an exacerbation (I keep calling it different things because I don't know what to call it). So if the test comes back positive is it still worth it? I don't know. Hopefully it is a mute point. I'm just sitting here waiting for the news. Also to be hooked up. They are slow today. But my favorite nurse is back!!!! No needles in the hand for me today. 🙂
Of course on the way here I was thinking how it would be nice to avoid needles for a while. Maybe a bit longer than a couple of weeks. Wouldn't that be nice?
My left leg from knee down still feels weak. I have been walking again though. I tried to do more strenuous exercise than walking but I only made it 10 minutes before the room started spinning. : ( I'll try that again next week. Shaun T is going to have to wait.
My left thigh gets a hell of a work out with just walking though. About 2 miles in I start having to throw my leg forward to keep it going. Thank goodness it has still been holding me up though. No more falling for me! I hope, I hope, I hope.
Ah! Still no results. But at least I'm hooked up now. I'm off to loose myself in my book.

Hubert Sumlin R.I.P November 16, 1931 ГўҖ" December 4, 2011
Legendary blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin has died of heart failure, aged 80. An influence on many guitar greats including Keith Richards, who paid SumlinГўҖҷs medical bills in his later years. Richards and Jagger footing the bill for his funeral expenses.
HowlinГўҖҷ WolfГўҖҷs right hand man and for a short time, sideman for Muddy Waters, Sumlin had a unique ГўҖңeccentricГўҖқ playing style and never used a plectrum, picking the strings with his fingers and hands.
Well, he did use one until his boss, ГўҖңThe Wolf,ГўҖқ fired him amid one of their regular physical bust ups, and told him to go home and practice without one. When he got his job back, he had found a new sound and tone without a pick, which stayed with him until the end. Also famed for his 1956 ГўҖңgold top,ГўҖқ Gibson Les Paul guitar.
Sumlin was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2002 and, after surgery to remove the diseased lung in 2004, performed with an oxygen tank on stage.
In 1970, when Wolf came over to the UK to record ГўҖңThe London HowlinГўҖҷ Wolf SessionsГўҖқ with an all-star BritГўҖҷ band, including Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman from The Rolling Stones and Beatle Ringo Starr, Leonard Chess the label owner, got a call from Eric Clapton, asking if Hubert was going to be coming to play. It was clear the label had no plans for Hubert to accompany Wolf on the trip, until Clapton said if Hubert Sumlin wasnГўҖҷt going to be on the album, nor was he! The label hurriedly got Hubert a Visa within 24 hours, and he was on the ГўҖҳplane to London.
In June 2002, Hubert Sumlin played a low key, house-full show at a tiny Nottingham blues venue, The Running Horse. The MidlandГўҖҷs version of a US juke joint. The gig was booked by blues fan and now Chairman of the British Blues Awards, Barry Middleton. He recalls that amazing night.
ГўҖңIt was completely sold out, and packed. A very intimate gig for such a legend. He played for over two and a half hours without a break. His guitar playing was spot on, as were his vocals.ГўҖқ
ГўҖңHubert was a gentleman who liked a pint of Guinness. When I was chatting to him before we opened the doors, it was as if he was psychic when he said, ГўҖҳbefore you ask, yes it was 'The Wolf' who knocked my front teeth out when I told him I was going to tour with Muddy Waters.ГўҖҷ He said that The Running Horse was the type of venue he loved to play, and it reminded him of playing back home.ГўҖқ
The gig was Friday June 28th 2002 ГўҖ" amazingly the very same year Hubert was told he had lung cancer. The American band was Per Hanson on Drums (Ronnie Earl), Mudcat Ward on Bass (Otis Grand, "Monster" Mike Welch, Sugar Ray Norcia)ГӮВ & David Maxwell on Piano, (Bob Corretore,ГӮВ James Cotton, Mighty Sam McClain, Bob Margolin.)ГӮВ David Maxwell & Mudcat Ward were nominated for WC Handy Awards at the time.
Hubert enthusiastically chatted to staff, the sound guys and ГўҖңanyone who would listen.ГўҖқ According to Barry, he had had many stories about HowlinГўҖҷ Wolf & Muddy Waters," which he loved to tell. ГўҖңHe always had a smile on his face. He was a lovely man, and I am very privileged to have been able to put him on The Runner".
HubertГўҖҷs manager and partner, Toni Ann Mamary, told fans the sad news of his death on HubertГўҖҷs website, with the headline, ГўҖҳIn Memory.ГўҖҷ ГўҖңOur dear friendsГўҖВҰ It is with a heavy heart that the worse has come to fruition. My little Hubert is living the life of a real angel. IГўҖҷm overwhelmed with grief ГўҖВҰ.ГўҖқ
"I just wanted to share with you, Hubert's loving fans, that Mick and Keith have insisted on picking up the full expenses for Hubert's funeral. God bless the Rolling Stones."
"The Stones ГўҖ" they're nice people," Sumlin told the New York Times earlier this year. Musicians such as Richards "can run a ring around me as guitar players", he explained, "but they respect me ГўҖВҰ They came to Wolf's house because, you know, they heard us doing Little Red Rooster."
Keith and Mick issued statements following Sumlin's death:
"Warm, humorous and always encouraging, he was a gentleman of the first order," wrote Richards. "Miss him, yes, but we have his records. All my condolences to his family. One love, Hubert."
"Hubert was an incisive yet delicate blues player," Jagger wrote. "He had a really distinctive and original tone and was a wonderful foil for Howlin' Wolf's growling vocal style ГўҖВҰ He was an inspiration to us all."
Sumlin was born near Greenwood, Mississippi, and grew up in Hughes, Arkansas. As a teenager, formed a band with friend and famed harmonica player James Cotton. Inspired to play the blues when he heard a record by Charlie Patton.
Sumlin told Living Blues magazine in 1989, that he was too young to get into a club to see HowlinГўҖҷ Wolf, so he climbed on to some Coca-Cola boxes to watch him through a window; the boxes collapsed and he fell into the room, landing on Wolf's head on the stage! After the gig, Wolf drove him home and asked his mother not to punish him.
Sumlin played with the legend from 1954 until WolfГўҖҷs death in 1976. He left briefly to tour with WolfГўҖҷs ГўҖңrivalГўҖқ, Muddy waters which resulted in a fist fight between the 6ft 6in, 300lb Wolf and Huber. The latter telling fans in later years, that Wolf knocked out his two front teeth over the matter. Wolf and Waters also squared up to each other over MuddyГўҖҷs poaching of Hubert, dramatised in the film ГўҖңCadillac Records,ГўҖқ which tells the story of the Chess blues roster. Well worth catching on DVD.
ГўҖңWe were like Father and son, although we had some tremendous fights,ГўҖқ Sumlin said in a 1994 interview. ГўҖңHe knocked my teeth out, and I knocked his out. None of it mattered; we always got right back together.ГўҖқ
Wolf's biographer Mark Hoffman wrote; "the two combined musically like gasoline and a lit match." "I love Hubert Sumlin," said axe star Jimmy Page recently. "He always played the right thing at the right time."
When Wolf passed away in 1976, it hit Sumlin hard. He quit music, moved from Chicago to Texas, where he left an impression on the Vaughan brothers, Jimmie and Stevie Ray. He returned to music eventually, and carved a solo career for himself.
Over the next three decades, he toured the US, Europe and Japan and cut several albums. ГўҖңAbout Them ShoesГўҖқ (2005) focused on his guitar playing and not his voice, star-studded by admirers including Clapton, Richards and Levon Helm.
Sumlin was nominated for a Grammy four times, most recently in 2010, and placed 43rd in a poll to name the top 100 guitarists of all time, by Rolling Stone magazine. Jimi Hendrix, placed at number one, was a huge fan of SumlinГўҖҷs playing.
Hubert continued to play at festivals, appearing several times at the annual Eric Clapton-sponsored Crossroads festivals. Check out the You Tube footage of him on stage with Clapton, Robert Cray and Jimme Vaughan, with Sumlin turning in some lovely licks on the Wolf classic, ГўҖңKilling Floor.ГўҖқ Keith Richards, who had financed SumlinГўҖҷs latter-day recording sessions and made guest appearances on ГўҖңAbout the Shoes,ГўҖқ considered it an honour to contribute to paying SumlinГўҖҷs medical bills.
ГўҖңWhat a pleasure to play with Hubert,ГўҖқ Richards said after their last session together. ГўҖңAll the top hands are gentlemen.ГўҖқ
ГўҖВў Many sources reporting Hubert Sumlin's death, mention ГўҖңSmokestack LightningГўҖқ in a list of HowlinГўҖҷ Wolf blues classics that HubertГўҖҷs guitar solo featured on. Wrong! When Hubert joined Wolf, he had to earn his place next to the big man, and at first often played second behind Willie Johnson and Jody Williams. It was in fact, Johnson who played the guitar solo on ГўҖңSmokestack Lightning,ГўҖқ often mistakenly attributed to Sumlin.

Grinning in his tuxedo, my son—my son!—stands at the front of the church as his bride enters on her father's arm.
Time rushes in my ears. Time when I was the bride, when my mother sat where I sit now. (What am I doing in her seat?) Time when my son squinted through newborn eyes, and my mother peeked at the little bundle in the arms of her daughter-turned-mother. Time when I cried widow's tears while my newborn slept, and my mother shared her own bereavements, somehow lightening the weight of my darkness.
All these moments and more flow down that church aisle and coalesce back into the man who is my son.
Then comes an announcement, just as I grow another year older: "Happy Birthday, 'Grandma'!" Time rushes in my ears again, pushing me forward, out of the familiar. I feel joy—but it is mingled with surprise and confusion. I am not the baby's mother this time. I am the grandmother. With the same mixed feelings, my mother receives the title of great-grandmother. She and I have to practice recognizing our new names. We talk through this transition, trying to understand why I'm wearing her shoes and she's wearing her mother's. We grind our gears as we shift into our new roles. Yes, they are good roles, wonderful roles. We just need to adjust to them. And to let the rushing, mingling waves of time quiet down.
My child, my mother, myself. We share all these moments. Each moment, containing so much time…
The Mysterious Movement of Time
There are five adult children tromping through this river of moments with me. They splash along just behind me. And beside me, anchoring me in Now, is my husband—the one whom I laughingly call the "prompt" husband, not the late one. My two parents wade ahead, where the stream is wider, deeper with memories. If I can see so much in each moment, how much more can they see?
Perhaps they see, as I am just beginning to, that these moving moments aren't truly a river. Here, time has not only a flow, but also an ebb. Moments can pile up, can tumble over each other, in both directions. We seem to travel along more of an estuary, an intermingling of the waters that run irretrievably forward to the sea, and those that come washing back in waves. That would explain the rushing sound I hear when today, tomorrow, and yesterday meet.
In a day called today, I comfort and counsel my youngest daughter through her senior year fears. The rushing waves remind me: I am passing along the same hugs and talks my parents poured out on me at her age. As she returns to her schoolwork, my cell phone rings. It's my mother, hoping for hugs and talks to ease her past the fears that come with her senior years. So we talk, and I hear myself pouring her blessings back into her lap.
I text to my youngest son: "I'm confident you'll be great at your new job!" We communicate through different technology, yes, but I pay forward the same words my parents gave to me as I headed off to my nerve-wracking first day of work. I smile, realizing that my parents must have believed their words as much as I do mine. When I lay down my phone, I check my morning email. There is one from Mom, asking, "How do I download those photos again?" So we step through the process once more. Then I add, "I'm confident you'll get this, Mom. You're doing great." I believe that, too.
Another day, my older daughter calls, troubled. I sit in the quiet stairwell to listen. Around her words, time rushes, and I am the one hunkered down in a closet weeping out my troubles to my parents. I hope my daughter can hear how much love is in my listening, and in my silent prayers for wisdom to pass on to her. Later I board a plane toward Mom in California. I'll be her chauffeur, cook, and confidante during Dad's hospital stay. This time she talks, and I listen—and she receives her love paid backward.
My children, my parents, myself. We give so many gifts to each other. Each gift containing so much love.
The Piece of Time We See
Time, great crashing billows of it, tumble over me as a nurse chats with my father while she checks his vital signs. She probably sees him weakened, thin, and dopey after a triple bypass. She sees him as his chart: prognosis, meds, diet. But I see him amid the backward-rushing waves of time. I see him upright and young in his freshly-pressed white clinic jacket, the smiling orthodontist who can charm his patients into letting him tweak their braces. I see him playing volleyball. I see him grinning at the wheel of his restored model T, careening around corners in red and black splendor at a whopping 25 miles an hour. I see him in sunshine out on the front porch, playing Sousa marches on his gleaming brass baritone. I see him teaching my children to fly kites.
The nurse doesn't see all that, but it's there. All that time, all that love, all coalescing in the one man in the bed.
Next it is my middle son in the bed. A different nurse reads "kidney stones," and thus defines him. She doesn't see the terrified boy learning to live in a whole new language when his new family brought him across the ocean. She doesn't see the cliff diver, the determined actor, the grinning monkey-bar gymnast. Not the son, the grandson, the world-traveler. Not the rolling waves of time and love that have poured forward and backward through his life. But I see. I see it all.
How can all that time just pile up, layer upon layer? All those remembered moments, all that time, all that love?
Lessons from the Estuary
This is the beauty and the mystery of the estuary I live in—this is both a gift of strength to me, and a gift of understanding which I can pass along.
Those layer-upon-layer moments have the power to produce in me a flood of gratitude that keeps my estuary from running dry.
Thankfulness can keep my heart so full that I never lack something to give forward to my children and backward to my parents . . . at the same time.
But the lessons from the estuary are not to be kept to myself, or to my own family. It's true, the people whose lives briefly intersect with mine have no idea how deep is the stream they've just floated across. They cannot see the way my memory projects the past onto the present like a sudden slideshow, with all the images superimposed on one another. But blessed is the person who knows that such slideshows exists. For they exist in everyone we meet.
For that reason, when I meet a stranger—or even a friend—I must make room around my present snapshot of her for her moments to pile up; for the strong feelings and valuable insights her loved ones will have as they watch her layered slideshow of moments. I must leave space for her to possess more dignity, more significance, more love, more time than I can perceive.
I must remember that all the people I meet live in an estuary. Time and love—for them as they do for me—flow forward to the sea, and also back into their hearts.

Some creative thinking seems evident on that tunnel route, at long last, says Roger Eglin.
Take a map of Britain and a pencil and assume for a moment that the Channel tunnel surfaces, not just inland from Folkestone, but further north, where should the pencil go to mark the tunnel's northern portal? Common-sense says it should emerge close to where most of its potential passengers want to start and finish their journey and at a point convenient for freight shippers.
The site will involve some compromise. The London area will provide most business traffic; the freight will come from the North and Midlands. The pencil falls to the east of London, close to Stratford, a point from which travellers can easily reach London and freight, and some passengers, can swing away north. Fortunately this is where Malcolm Rifkind, the transport secretary, decided the tunnel should effectively surface in the guise of its own dedicated rail link. But if British Rail had its way, the decision would have been an appalling one.
After carving its way through densely populated south-east London, the preferred route then dumped most of its passengers at Waterloo, right in the congested heart of the city. What would have happened to freight remains vague. As for passengers heading north, some tunnel trains would go to King's Cross. Yet BR's top management have for some years convinced themselves that this was the only way: whatever the rest of the country might think, or need in the way of transport links, this line was going to link London to Europe.
BR's management has never been able to forget the collapse of the Channel Tunnel project in the '70s after shocked ministers discovered both the cost of the high speed rail link and its environmental penalty.
So this time, they boxed clever, adopting a low profile over the rail link until work on the tunnel was so far advanced that the project had become unstoppable. But this overlooked the obvious warnings that BR's plan was never going to get out of the station.
The most obvious red signal was that the line enjoyed no public support and the determined opposition in south-east London showed no signs of abating. Another flashed when BR's private sector partners, Trafalgar House and BICC, decided it could not be built without a £2 billion government injection.
Undeterred BR tried patching over this problem by factoring in improved rail services for Kent commuters. This should have increased the return on the line, hopefully coaxing the necessary cash out of a sceptical Treasury.
Debate about the alternative route running through Stratford and east London into King's Cross was effectively stifled. Its main protagonist, Ove Arup, the consulting engineers, did not want to launch a public quarrel with BR.
By this summer the preferred route had been surveyed, £100 million had been spent buying up affected property and BR's management had convinced themselves that it was all over.
But though they tripped themselves up, they deserve some sympathy. BR was a victim of this country's narrow-minded approach to planning and to the political ideology of Cecil Parkinson, Rifkind's predecessor at transport. Most people would plan a rail link to the tunnel by asking, just as this article did at the start, which route would bring the greatest advantage to the country? But poor BR (unlike the French who are building their tunnel link) was confined to the narrowest of briefs by its political masters.
Freight was ruled out for a start. It is said that as Parkinson reckoned so little freight went by rail, BR should not factor in freight income. Yet if the emphasis is placed on freight to Europe (now about half the country's exports), tunnel rail freight could corner as much as a quarter or more of this market. But now with provision for freight required, good access to the north of London is an expensive luxury, particularly as many businessmen in the regions will still find flying to Europe competitive. BR had no choice but to aim its route at London, the obvious market.
Fortunately after Parkinson's departure, a broader view began to take shape as Michael Heseltine, the environment secretary, persuaded Rifkind that the country could get more for its money - the cost will be between £3.5 to £4 billion - by opting for the alternative Ove Arup route (one proposed by the Rail Europe consortium is also very similar).
Now that the debate has been freed it is apparent that the Stratford route looks a much better bet. It will help to shift the centre of gravity of London from the congested west to the undeveloped east, regenerating the deprived docklands and offering better access to the rest of the country. Purpose built lines catering for both passengers and freight, can branch off to the North, by-passing London.
How will the more expensive eastern route be financed? Few believe that the private sector alone can do it but a mix of public and private money might work. But finance apart, the decision to go for this route suggests the Government's thinking has become more creative. Let's hope so.

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel will start from second on the grid ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
"I had a bit of a wobble at the exit of the last corner on the last run, but Max improved his time so fair play. It's his pole position," Vettel said.
"I'm happy with the front row, now we'll see what we can do tomorrow. The car has been good, it got better through qualifying, so hopefully we can keep that momentum for the race.
"It will be difficult. Both Red Bull and Mercedes look a bit stronger managing tyres, but we are there for a reason. We've got the speed, we've got the power, so let's see what the race brings. I'm carefully optimistic."

Charles Leclerc qualified fourth fastest, but a 10-place grid penalty will drop him down the grid order. Valtteri Bottas finished with the fifth fastest time ahead of Red Bull's Alexander Albon.
Aussie Daniel Ricciardo missed out on the final session after being eliminated in Q2 with the 12th fastest time. Thanks to Leclerc's grid penalty he'll be bumped up and start from 11th.

Meet Hanan and Jamila, two young Berber mothers who grew up in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
Each day, the women prepare the family meals such as wood-fired bread and tagines, collect firewood, care for their livestock and tend to their children. In addition to this, Hanan and Jamila are both exceptionally skilled artisans and business women.
Hanan and Jamila work with the Eve Branson Foundation (EBF) to create unique Berber rugs using traditional techniques passed down through the generations. The pieces are then sold in the Tansghart Craft Centre, the nearby Kasbah Tamadot retreat and online through the EBF e-boutique.
The skill these women bring to their work is instinctive and unique – they individually knot together woollen rugs on upright looms to create intricate and traditional designs and preserve the significant Berber culture.
However, being responsible for large families makes it difficult for Hanan, Jamila, and many other women in their position, to leave the house and earn a living. EBF recognised the potential in these young women and understand the positive ripple effect that is felt through the wider community when you invest in a woman's employment and education.
EBF visited Hanan and Jamila at their homes and offered to build a loom in Jamila's house. This enabled the women to earn an income and enhance their skills, all while they ran their households and looked after the children.
This simple example of smarter thinking has broken down a much broader barrier. A few months after commencement – and many satisfied customers later – EBF now supplies the tools and the wool for Jamila and Hanan to earn an income, and gain independance without any compromises.
You can learn more about the Eve Branson Foundation and view their wonderful craftsmanship here. Every purchase made leaves a positive impact, with at least 40 per cent of the sale returning directly to the artisans. The remaining revenue goes into directly sustaining the foundation's core programmes and covering all running costs.
