I'm in another show. I know this is not a shock to most of you. And, it shouldn't be a shock to know that I've been thinking about this connection between the show and where we are in the Torah cycle right now.
The show is "The Secret Garden" and the Torah cycle places us at Vayetzei, (Gen 28:10 – 32:3) when Jacob is tricked by his soon-to-be father in law Laban into marrying Leah, sister of the one he truly loves, Rachel. Eventually, Jacob does marry Rachel. They struggle with infertility, as so many of the Biblical couples do. Rachel dies in childbirth, having finally given birth to two sons – Joseph and Benjamin.
There is tremendous rivalry between the sisters, too. It gets to the point where Leah actually bribes her sister with mandrakes to let Jacob spend the night with her. This is a family with a lot of secrets and questions, burdened for years with pain and division. Why didn't Leah say anything when she was given to Jacob on their wedding night? Surely she knew she wasn't the first choice. Did Rachel feel superior to Leah as the "loved" wife, even though Leah had so many more children? Did they ever talk about it? Certainly, the children sensed the rifts, because they really took it out on Joseph (stay tuned..oh, well you know what happens if you've seen the movie.)
In "The Secret Garden", young Mary Lennox is suddenly orphaned by the cholera in India, and is shipped off to her lonely, sad Uncle Archibald in Yorkshire. Archie mourns his true love Lily, who died in childbirth. The child, Colin, was fragile at birth, but is kept in his room, secreted away, talked about by no one. Archie's brother Neville (who also loved Lily) has convinced everyone that the boy will die, or at the very least, be crippled like Archie. Neville has the whole household in on the secret, punishing his brother and young nephew with his bitterness, for his own unrequited love. It isn't until Mary comes to their home that she begins uncovering the secrets in so many places, bring light into the dark corners and hope into the places left neglected. Neville is undone, and Archie and Colin find each other again, with Mary to guide them back to their love for each other and Lily. Mary is healed in the process and the family begins anew.
There are so many elements in common between the two stories, which is, of course, what makes them good stories. Like Archie and Neville, Jacob and Esau are brothers torn apart by secrecy and deception. Both Rachel and Leah love the same man, as Archie and Neville both love Lily. Mothers die in childbirth. And families are rent apart and sewn back together.
If you read my blogs regularly, you know I believe two things: all of life can be related to musical theater, and all of life can be related to the Torah (not necessarily in that order. Ok maybe. Well, maybe not…very, very close.) The stories within speak to real human dilemmas, real human circumstances. There is hope for Jacob and Rachel and Leah, though it takes their families generations to work through it all. Mary and Archie and Colin go through it more quickly – the show is only two acts. Mary learns that when a thing is "wick", when it has a bit of life still hidden inside, and if you look for it, tend it, it will grow. Ultimately, the power of love and family can prevail, teach us how to live more kindly with each other, find the life and love hidden within, and be aware of the ripple effect, both good and ill, that our actions have.
If you're in the Chicago area,…come see the show! And even if you're not….read this week's parasha!

The Other Dog Who Emerged From The al-Baghdadi Raid Is A Puppy Named 'Bobe'
The downfall of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been largely credited to one Conan, the Belgian Malinois who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery in the military operation in Syria. But Conan wasn't the only dog who emerged from the tunnel after the mission.
While documenting Baghdadi's compound following the raid, Syrian photojournalist Fared Alhor found a puppy named "Bobe" who was orphaned in the battle, CNN reports.
"I turned around and, accidentally, I saw a puppy standing next to his mom," Alhor said. "He was howling and sounded sad."
Sketch. This week our friend @FARED_ALHOR rescued a sweet puppy whose mother was killed in an air strike. Fared couldn't abandon this frightened baby, and he risked his life to transport the pup from a war zone. We are privileged to know this fantastic h… https://t.co/B2Q87vhpTz pic.twitter.com/c4UuDqRBVx— Marc Nelson 🌊 (@Marcnelsonart) November 3, 2019
Bobe was hungry and suffering from neglect. Alhor played with him for a bit to cheer him up, but knew he needed more than that.
"I mean, after the bombing, he has no one left," Alhor said. "I asked if there is anyone who can take care of him." A man nearby asked if I wanted to take him. I told him, 'OK, I am going to come back, God willing.'"
#BOBE 😊❤🌹🐶😍— FARED_ALHOR (@FARED_ALHOR) November 2, 2019
Very happy and proud to watch my humanitarian work across the globe
😊 https://t.co/RPtIFnVFna
Alhor went home to find a carrier and some food for Bobe. He made the 40-mile round trip on his motorcycle, eventually returning to the dangerous territory to retrieve the dog. They both braved the cold rain on the last leg of the journey back to Alhpor's home.
"Despite the danger and despite the cold and despite the rain and despite everything," Alhor said.
The photojournalist tried homing Bobe with a friend whose dog had recently given birth to a litter of her own. It was not to be, however. Alhor couldn't bear to leave the puppy behind.
He brought Bobe home once more, this time for good.
"I started to play with him and pamper him and feed him. I went to the market and bought food for him," Alhor said.
Terör örgütü DEAŞ'ın elebaşı Bağdadi geçtiğimiz hafta düzenlenen operasyon ile etkisiz hale getirilmişti. Operasyon sonrası enkaz altında kalan yavru köpekler, olay yerine giden İdlibli foto muhabiri Fared Alhor sayesinde hayata tutundu.https://t.co/XadAE0VQ91 pic.twitter.com/xm9yyvk4dQ— TRT HABER (@trthaber) November 3, 2019
Mohammad Alaa al-Jaleel, also known as the "Aleppo Cat Man" at Ernesto's Sanctuary for Syrian Cats, gave Bobe a check up and vaccinations. Alhor is grateful for the support, as he wouldn't otherwise have the money to cover the expenses related to caring for a pet.
There's no question shote Bobe is better off, however.
Next on Alhor's agenda is finding more food and a new dog house for his furry friend.
"He will have a good life and we will settle down, me and him," Alhor said.

Duncan nets dubious first
Something happened at AT&T Center on Sunday that never occurred on the 1,310 occasions that Tim Duncan previously had suited up for the Spurs: The Spurs captain and certain future Hall of Famer failed to make a basket.
Duncan attempted eight shots in just under 28 minutes of the Spurs' 116-105 win over the Chicago Bulls and missed all eight. He made three-of-four free throws for a season-low three points, grabbed eight rebounds, handed out three assists and blocked one shot.
Duncan's teammates were incredulous.
"Holy (expletive)!" said Manu Ginobili, Duncan's teammate for 13 of Duncan's 18 seasons in silver and black. "Zero baskets? First time of his career?
"It's not something that ever happens and still we managed to score 116 so we really don't care who scores and who doesn't, but with his length and his timing he usually picks it up and grabs it and scores or has a quick duck-in or penetrate and pitch.
"So, yes, it is amazing, but I didn't even notice."
Backup point guard Cory Joseph demanded proof.
"Let me see a stat sheet," he said, shaking his head slowly after seeing the 0 for 8 field goal line.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich refused to comment on the rare event, challenging reporters to confront Duncan.
"Say, 'What the hell was that about?' " Popovich said.
Reporters never got the chance. Duncan wasn't available for comment.
Defensive disruption: The Spurs had a season-high 15 steals against the Bulls, indicative of some of the most disruptive defense of the season.
Kawhi Leonard and Ginobili had three steals apiece. Green, Tony Parker, and Marco Belinelli each had two.
"We're not disruptive," Popovich said. "Kawhi is. He always leads the way in that regard. Perhaps it was a good night."
The Spurs got four baskets directly off steals, which helped account for their season-high 32 points off turnovers and season-high 35 fast break points.
"Sometimes you can get a lot of steals because the other team was sloppy," Ginobili said. "But today I think we were aggressive. We brought a lot of energy and we were trying to make it happen."
Green cited both Leonard and Parker for leading the way with aggressive perimeter defense.
"It starts with Kawhi and (Tony)," Green said. "Tony has actually been pressuring the ball more and Kawhi has been setting the tone defensively, being active and getting deflections. We're all following suit."
Passing Admiral: Parker achieved a significant milestone of his own, playing in his 988th game in a Spurs uniform to move past Hall of Famer David Robinson for second on the franchise list of games played. Duncan is first on the list, now having played 1,311 games.

12th July 2018
Stole to bed on a rainy night black as black and rocked to sleep by the ocean's rhythm; awoke to a bright morning gushing into the cabin of a mysteriously still boat. Popping bleary eyes out the forehatch I find before me land basking in sun-soaked beauty as Blue Eye slices through planes of turquoise. There are few sweeter things for the sailor, particularly after a week spent on open waters found distinctly wanting in comfort and oversupplied of rain.
The Louisiades. A smattering of exotic islands reaching off the south-eastern tip of Papua New Guinea's mainland. Curious that it should carry the air of an English Dartmoor to it: pale green fields unfurl for miles across high and sloping hills, betraying their tropical nature only by the occasional palm tree and the emerald waters lapping at the foot of them. We motor Blue Eye toward Yuma Passage, the wondrously deep channel that snakes three miles through the reef to permit entry to these seldom visited lands. With shallow, shallow waters only a stones throw either side, we float above the winding gorge that nature has carved down to depths of 60-metres. It is probably the most astonishing channel we have ever seen.
Into Papuan waters and life abounds: flocks of low-flying birds patrol to and fro, schools of fish frenzy at the surface, and fleets of canoe-going fishermen watch with learned eyes, reading the signs. We track one down, and are amazed by his English. His name is Barrett. His clothes are filthy and his teeth mysteriously red (a trait, I recall, that once led the bold James Cook to hastily evacuate another island in the Pacific, Niue, fearing cannibalism); but after a thousand-miles of ocean he's a pretty sight to us. Pleasantries complete and it's on to business. A swap: some of our fishing line and hooks for a brace of the red snappers piled around his bare feet.
Later, anchored alongside a little island called Nimoa, wafts of baked coconut fish emanate from the oven as darkness descends on the sweetly still bay. A woman from the village rows by singing softly to her child in the canoe, filling the crepuscular air with a voice as ghostly as it is beautiful. We stop to listen, then we drink to another long passage under our belts with cheap, boxed-red wine we loaded up on in New Zealand, and feel kingly as we tuck into a rice and fish supper before falling into deep slumbers.
13th July 2018
The first sleep at anchor seldom disappoints. After nine hours of rest I step outside to greet the first light of day. A fresh one, with strong gusts sweeping down Nimoa's hill from the east; but palm trunks stand vivid orange against a hazy morning sun and surrounding greens glint their morning dew, to make it a handsome beginning.
Breakfast and then weigh anchor to head west. With only a week to spare here we want to make ground to some spots we've heard of further along the chain. The poorly charted waters won't help such endeavours. Until not so long ago, sailors were still using the first charts ever made of the Louisiades, way back from the nineteenth century, and as such we will only be able to sail by day. But even then the sun won't shed a lot of light on the mysterious currents that rip between the islands every which way. Not that we even have sun: the haze has firmly settled low over the Louisiades, and we set off into it.
The beauty of the archipelago, we realise, lies not only in what it has, but also in what it does not have: no power lines, no concrete buildings, no cell towers. Well, not many cell towers. We curse and spew as we see our first one at the end of a headland.
A mercifully uneventful journey brings us to Homo Bay, a wide concavity certain to bring another flat night of sleep. Peering ashore James remarks: "It's like looking back in time." He isn't wrong. Women walk back and forth along the beach with impossibly large baskets on their head; naked children run in between them whooping and shouting. In front of a beached wooden ship and a bamboo hut, men stand bare-chested and strong. They haul in piles of wriggling fish by some method traditional and genius, and it completely alludes us: since we entered Papua all we've hooked is a rock that the forgotten fishing line snagged on as we came to anchor at this time warp.
Homo Bay, needless to say, is stunning.
14th July 2018
The day emerges from behind the palm-topped hillside, and it requires conscious effort to remind oneself that amongst this innocent splendour lurk crocodiles and malaria. The blissful life the natives appear to lead is no doubt fraught with danger, but other than Barrett we haven't met any of them yet, so up again comes the anchor and Blue Eye's bow points westward to her first desired destination: Panasia.
The sun has finally managed to burn through the haze, illuminating sheer limestone cliffs that loom closer over the course of the day. Soon we are weaving through a menacing fringing reef, which is made all the more dangerous by the challenge of keeping eyes off the sumptuous scenes before us.
Once safely anchored, we simply ogle it: this might be one of the most stunning islands the world has shown us. Light grey cliff faces as intimidating as they are idyllic run down the length of the mile-long island, topped by verdurous forests that touch the sky, and bottomed by honeycomb beaches that melt into a turquoise shore line.
But we are saddened to find nobody home. The handful of huts nestled into the foot of the cliffs are empty, and our wait for natives continues.
15th July 2018
Makeshift sails carried two canoes down the length of Panasia's dominating cliffs this morning. People, at last. Three male figures grow bigger and soon they are sitting across from us in Blue Eye's cabin. Their clothes are tattered and they stare around in wide-eyed wonder. With no small degree of embarrassment, I realise that what I had thought of as minimalist levels of materialism dotted around our home – some clothes, a few books, galley equipment, so on – for them must be the equivalent of walking into a shopping centre. At the stern their wooden canoe is tied up alongside our PVC, engine-furnished dinghy: a picture of change right there.
Justin, Sam and Sam's son gleefully climbed aboard with glowing red smiles, promising we could "tell each other stories". Well, Sam did: he's the one full of them and it's not clear the other two can follow his quick and fluent English.
But what stories he told! Stories worth sailing a thousand miles for: of him condemned to his deathbed with malaria but for the grace of the Lord who saved him; of the men lost at sea after never returning from routine sails to neighbouring islands; of Justin's brother who lost an arm to a shark, but who is alright – don't worry – he can still play the ukulele and climb for coconuts. (I doubt I could do either of these things even with three arms.)
They are charming company, but there are awkward silences. Two cultures sat staring across a table of coffee and biscuits, at worlds they can only begin to imagine. Sam breaks the engulfing quiet: they have brought things from the village they would like to trade with us. We are only the fourth boat here this year, and as such are one of their very few means of attaining certain things.
Justin's mother has sent him with some beautiful shells, requesting clothes in return, for which we happily delve into our trading bag to oblige her with. Sam's wife sent some bananas, which we part with a bag of sugar and some biscuits for; and his daughter has sent some chicken eggs, for which we can bestow her with hairbands, notepads and pens.
Sam leaves an address with us to post a particular version of the Bible to; he is the pastor and will be able to read it easier in his sermons than the traditional text. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the address amounts to no more than: Sam, Panasia, Papua New Guinea. Simply, really.
It is a revealing request. That the English language and Christianity are in full swing amongst the most isolated and basic community we have ever come across speaks more of the influence the British Empire had than any book I've read, or map I've seen.
16th July 2018
Morning plans to set sail to Nivani Island are delayed by the arrival of another villager and his son. McKenzie and Cedric clamber aboard, and coffee, biscuits and story telling tumble out again. McKenzie also has some corkers, not least the explanation for how he earned the gruesome scar eternalised down his shin: he was sawing into a gas tank when it had exploded and broke his leg. Not a smart move by any culture's standards, he acknowledges now. Were it not for the cell tower than enabled the village to call the main island, the speedboat would never have arrived to take him to hospital, and things could have been a whole lot worse. We immediately forgive the cell towers.
The explanation for the scars on his hand are perhaps even more shocking: they were etched into him by the years of rubbing sticks together to make fire. They are always running out of lighters, he says. This blows us away, and we ply him with matches and lighters immediately.
With stories told and items traded, we bid McKenzie a fond farewell and leave the vistas of Panasia in our wake. An afternoon motoring through calm, hazy waters renders us positively baffled as to how anybody can find their way through these reefs with boats deprived of both GPS and engines. "Local knowledge passed down from our fathers and grandfathers" Sam had explained, somewhat mysteriously.
Come afternoon, our hi-tech chartplotter and rumbling motor deliver us to the anchorage tucked between Nivani Island and it's larger neighbour, Panapompom, which is the nicest name for any island I know of. Either we inadvertently anchor on the highway between the two islands – given the volume of canoe-going, red-teeth bearing, Hello Mister!-hollering natives streaming to and fro – or the highway had been relocated on account of our arrival.
As the sun goes down, Venus, Jupiter and a full moon emerge in a clear, cooling sky, and some men on the beach light a fire. It's easy to imagine them sat around the dancing flames with an abundance of stories to tell, fish to barbeque and coconuts to drink. There are no huts on Nivani for them to sleep in: only a bed of sand and a ceiling of stars. We really are off the beaten track now.
17th July 2018
As the sun raced over the horizon this morning, with that eagerness it has in the tropics, the Papuans were well into the swing of their day. As was the birdlife: an eagle could be found circling the green and golden mass of Nivani, and gleaming white parrots (adorned with amusing Jonny Bravo hair-do's) emitted a relentless commentary.
The wind was up: a morning for kiteboarding. Hoards of boys and men gather around us on the sandspit as the kite is prepared: it is a fascinating procedure for them. James launches it and takes to the water, racing back and forth to the cheers of enthralled locals.
Later, whilst I'm out butchering all attempts to follow James's lead on the board, he talks with a mousey little man called Martin, who agrees to show us how to make coconut milk in the afternoon. A few hours later we sit in the shade of a palm tree on the beach, watching Martin grate the flesh from a halved shell. A large crowd gathers to watch too, but only to glimpse the queer folk who do not know how to make coconut milk. For the Papuans this is bread and butter, in every sense. And by the time Martin's squeezing the milk through a strainer, there have been many whispers and giggles of "dim-dims", the local word for white man.
This is all in good spirit, and one of them – a young man called Michael – joins us as we circumnavigate Nivani on foot. His English is excellent: he is one of the lucky ones who stayed on at school into his late teens. But Michael has just been expelled for fighting, which is surprising because he is unmistakably sharp and curious (the type that teachers lose most of their hair over, no doubt). He is particularly curious about our own country.
"Tom and James. I have read that there is a tunnel under the sea between England and France, but I do not believe it." James puts him out of his misery and confirms it's true, he's been on it. Michael doesn't seem convinced. I don't blame him: if I lived amongst this beauteous simplicity, I'd think it absurd too. But nowadays most of the world would find it harder to believe that people can make fire with their hands, than there being underwater trains.
18th July 2018
The horizon is seldom without a sailing canoe upon it as men take to the ocean for tuna, and occasionally something else. As we arrive ashore for another day of kiteboarding, wafts of meat come over from the small shack on the beach. We go to investigate and find huge steaks cooking. "Shark," says Michael. "The men pulled it in accidentally this morning".
We set about the kite preparations again to the delight of the crowd, which has grown since yesterday. Apart from those who occasionally sleep by the shack, they all row or sail over from the villages of Panapompom each morning. To get away from it all perhaps, or to catch some fish. A group of men take to knee-deep water with a net spread out between them, and whilst splashing the sea they chant, hoping to lure some dinner into their trap.
The wind remains all day and as we're both having success with the kite, so do we. Breaks on the beach are filled with conversations with locals, and often they have the same thing to say: "Those lines must be so strong!" They're referring to the lines from the kite, to the man on the board. In a place where shark meat spits on the fire, a fascination for the practicality of things justifiably trumps the leisure they can be utilised for, and it dawns on me that they have always been more interested in watching the kite preparation, than the actual kiteboarding.
Mousey Martin comes by and I try to get my head around how he uses a rock, a palm leaf and a feather to catch fish. I fail. Whilst James takes time out, a gaggle of children gather around him and laugh at the silly dim-dim applying a strange white cream to his strange white face. Suncream is not a thing in this part of the world. And we solve the mystery of the red teeth: the betel nut. A seed they habitually chew – partly for the mild stimulant effect, partly for the flavour – and it stains their teeth over time. James spits it out immediately after biting into it: an acquired taste apparently.
19th July 2018
It's our last full day, and Michael has offered to take us crayfishing. Armed with his Hawaiian sling, he moors his father's dugout canoe on the reef and takes to the underworld, two dim-dims in his wake. We are no strangers to the water, but to keep up with the young Papuan (who spends more time scouring the sea's floor than breathing above it) is a challenge in itself. Michael is practically a fish, zipping between reefs and nipping in and out of nooks and crannies, searching for the illusive crayfish.
The hunt ends fruitlessly, but to see a local in action amongst the healthy coral is a better reward anyway. The memory of the chase will last longer than the pleasure of the catch, but I know such a perspective comes with privilege: for the dim-dim, time amongst a coral reef is for pleasure; for the Papuan, it is also a matter of survival.
With such morbid thoughts in mind we go in search of what makes Panapompom famous: the Japanese fighter plane that crashed into the sea in World War II. When at last the relic emerges through the murkiness, sitting just two metres below the water, we find it devoid of wings and with coral growing all over. It has been here over seventy years, after all. James's attempts to sit in the cockpit are initially headbutted away by a particularly territorial fish, but he soon shoos it off and fulfils his boyhood dream of being a pilot. Sort of.
A fond farewell to Michael this afternoon. We give him the most English book we could find on board to nourish his fascination with our country of birth: a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. Whether he'll make head or tail of it we'll never know, but he seemed very pleased nonetheless.
Venus, Jupiter, and the moon shine bright again tonight, as we reflect on what has been the most extraordinary and fulfilling destination of our circumnavigation so far.
Tomorrow we make reluctant way west to the mainland, painfully aware of the odds against finding anywhere else quite like the Louisiades again. This is also, of course, precisely what has conspired to make this week such a special one.

Musher wisdom has it that the third day of a long distance race is when competitors face The Wall: self-doubt, second-guessing strategies, reassessing expectations, adapting to the rhythm of the team and fellow competitors, sometimes all of the above.
Rookie or veteran, all mushers face The Wall, all mushers wear it in different ways, and all were on display as this year's field of competitors came through the Pelly Crossing checkpoint. From the steely and stone-faced to the forlorn and fatigued, here's how Day 3 went down.
Allen Moore led the breakaway pack into Stepping Stone around 2 a.m., joined by Hans Gatt and Brent Sass roughly an hour later. While all three stopped to rest and indulge in the famed hospitality and cuisine, a surging Michelle Phillips caught up and carried on to gain some trail around 5:30 a.m. Paige Drobny and Denis Tremblay employed a similar strategy.
Moore, Gatt and Sass resumed the lead by 11 a.m., staying close together until Scroggie Creek, when Sass continued up trail about 10 miles before stopping to rest. Phillips and Tremblay arrived at Scroggie a little before 7 p.m., where Phillips again opted to forge on, taking the lead in the process.
Paige Drobny's trail strategy bore fruit today as well, with the Alaskan veteran moving up four spots to third place.
Most of the remainder of the field is now either resting in Scroggie or are on their way, with Jimmy Lebling still on the move toward Stepping Stone and Remy Leduc and Lisbet Norris continuing their rest at Pelly Crossing.

Our customer was looking for a modern classic kitchen for her stunning period home in Belfast. The lady chose Langton, having been won over by the range's smart-styling, wide choice of colours and exceptional quality, which she felt would suit her beautiful home.
Ryan from Exorna followed the client's brief and produced this breath taking kitchen which is wonderfully glamorous yet remains a functioning and well organized family kitchen.
Clients words: "From our initial meeting with Ryan, subsequent visit to the showroom and to the installation of our new kitchen, we can't rate Exorna, and Ryan in particular, highly enough for the professionalism, advice and guidance through the whole process. We love our new kitchen and it has added real value as the hub of our family home."

Erik Pieters has vowed the Clarets will bounce back in Saturday's Premier League fixture against West Ham United at Turf Moor.
The left-back feels the crunch match against the Hammers will be a good opportunity to return to winning ways following three straight defeats.
And the Dutch defender is confident of a return to form against Manuel Pellegrini's side, who have only taken two points from their last five games.
Pieters said: "When you play West Ham at home, you have a chance at three points and I think this one just before the international break is an important one.
"It is a massive game and of course the gaffer will expect a response, so we have to be fully ready and make sure we can be on the right track again."
The Hammers arrive at Turf Moor are without a win in five league games, following a bright start to the season.
And Pieters warned the Londoners will make for tough opponents as they look to return to winning ways.
He added: "Sometimes one game is what it takes to change it around, but I don't think there is a good time or a bad time to play a team.
"Games come quick, so we have to be ready and we have to look at ourselves.
"We want to stop those three defeats in a row, make sure we don't make it four, and a good win will make that even better.

Rep. Maloney, Vice Chair Designate of the Joint Economic Committee, On CBO's Report Detailing the Economic Costs from Shutdown
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), Vice Chair Designate of the Joint Economic Committee, released the following statement following the release of the Congressional Budget Office's report on the costs of the Trump Shutdown.
"Today's report from the Congressional Budget Office makes clear that the Trump Shutdown caused permanent damage to our economy. It reduced economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2018 and first quarter of this year -- $3 billion of that lost economic activity will never be recovered.
"In addition, hundreds of thousands of federal workers had their lives turned upside down and millions of Americans couldn't access government services. All of this was unnecessary.
"I sincerely hope that the President has learned from his mistake. We cannot afford to squander economic growth and he must never again treat federal workers as a bargaining chip in a negotiation."

Ahead of his taking over from Jane Duncan as RIBA president on 1 September, the architect and housing specialist took questions from AJ readers
Lisa Raynes, Pride Road Architects
'At university, there is a 50/50 split between men and women on architecture courses, yet on the ARB register only 26 per cent are female and at the RIBA female membership counts for 17.5 per cent. There's an issue and an opportunity here. What can you do as president and how can I help you?'
Any talented individual should be able to have a successful career in architecture, regardless of their gender or any aspect of their identity. We know there are many reasons why women leave the profession. As practitioners, employees and employers we all need to play our part in mentoring and encouraging, and of course stamping out any discrimination if we see it.
We must encourage much more family friendly employment practices, setting standards and exemplars through Chartered Practice and other means. I am very much in favour of innovative forms of practice and Pride Road is a great example that enables parents to continue in practice.
Meredith Bowles, Mole Architects
'What is the RIBA going to do about the constant demand for unpaid competition work? The acquiescence of the profession to this expectation is de-valuing our work, leading to poor design through lack of consultation or briefing, and cutting into time available for the actual commissioned work. The RIBA Competitions office is complicit in this adverse step.'
All RIBA Competitions are run to clearly defined best practice guidelines with honoraria payments made clear at the outset. The RIBA Competitions Office provides a range of different types of competition for practices at different stages of their development. They offer architects and clients the opportunity to work together on schemes where they may otherwise not have done so.
I'm confident that the RIBA Competitions Office will continue to develop into the go-to option for competitive design procurement in terms of quality and commercial success. I intend to encourage that.
As to speculative work, that is commercial decision for individual practices. RIBA strongly discourages it unless there are clear commitments in place as an appropriate reward.
Simon Allford, AHMM
RIBA. 66 Portland Place, London
'I think we need a leaner RIBA, remodelled for the 21st century and focused on celebrating architecture through the education programme, the amazing drawing collection and the awards programme. Leave the rest to the profession – which is currently detached when it should be harnessed. You can then bring everything back to 66 Portland Place making it the best members club in London – one that is also open to the general public. What say you?'
We have a fabulous collection, gold standard awards schemes and a great learning programme – and I believe we should definitely be making the most of these brilliant assets, as well as making 66 Portland Place more accessible to all our members. I too am keen that the RIBA is lean and focuses its resources to make even greater impact.
And yes, let's work together to create a unique home we can share and enjoy. I hope my fundraising inauguration party will signal a flavour of things to come. I hope to see you there!
Ian Ritchie, Ian Ritchie Architects
'What is your strategy to move the RIBA into having an effective political role inside government?'
The RIBA should serve as an independent voice that can act for its membership. This means working with Government to help inform policy, as the RIBA does through various working groups and forums, but also means that we can be clear in standing up for the value of architects and quality in the built environment. Brexit has been a clear example of this, where we have seen a much greater understanding by Government of the importance of UK architects in the international context, as a result of RIBA's work. I plan to take my overarching theme of quality and performance in the built environment in a collaborative campaign to Parliament with a special focus on housing.
Richard Doone, Doone Silver Kerr
'Architects from other EU countries living and working in the UK contribute significantly to the success of our practices. Do the RIBA have a strategy in seeking to secure their permanent right to remain and work in the UK post-Brexit?'
Non-UK EU architects bring huge value to our profession. Many practices, and many architects, are concerned about the impact of potentially losing talented colleagues and friends. Jane Duncan and the RIBA have been vocal in calling for the rights of EU architects to be secured, not only publicly but also in meetings with various government ministers since the EU referendum. This is not just an issue for today, however. We need to ensure that we can continue to recruit from across the globe into the future – this is why the RIBA's post-Brexit report Global By Design calls for the Government to ensure mutual recognition of professional qualifications agreements with the EU, but also explore new agreements with other territories.
Elsie Owusu, Elsie Owusu Architects and first chair of the Society of Black Architects
'It would be good to hear about the "affirmative action" policy and how it will benefit groups currently disadvantaged in architecture – in particular BAME students with an attrition rate of 55 per cent between Part 1 and Part 2.'
Rogers pic
Our profession, including our places of study, must reflect the society we are here to serve. I look forward to developing our shared commitment to playing an active role in increasing diversity with a newly diversified Council at RIBA. This is not for me alone and I will support effective ideas, policies and strategies such as the Stephen Lawrence Trust campaign for a more diverse intake of new councillors. We should also focus on improving how we record and better understand the background of our members, and provide the support they need to thrive. I have travelled the country listening to people and hearing what they want me to deliver: one key point is the need for quicker, more affordable routes to qualification that would support talent from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Alex Ely, Mae Architects
'You have called on industry to agree new Design and Build protocols. Will you lead the charge by embargoing your own practice from bidding for work that it hasn't taken up to contract? I've been trying to put this on the agenda of the RIBA housing group for the last six years but it's been resisted. Too many practices exploit their contractor relations to usurp the original architects.'
It's time to challenge the shortcomings of poorly managed Design and Build procurement and I will continue the RIBA's work in this area.
I intend to work on shared protocols with clients as an alternative to current procurement approaches (currently its common for the Lead Designer not to be responsible for oversight of the design, specification of materials and products from inception to completion of the project and the absence of a role in site inspection).
Peter Barber, Peter Barber Architects
'In 2017 London is one of the richest cities the world has ever seen. Yet 170,000 of our fellow citizens are homeless as a direct consequence of the government's appalling housing policy. What has the RIBA done to call out the government on this scandal?'
Rising levels of homelessness are a serious concern. The leading cause of homelessness in recent years has become the loss of a tenancy in the private rented sector. This, in turn, is because of the worsening affordability of rented housing across the country, and because fewer families have the stability of social housing. The RIBA has been very clear that mixed and balanced communities, which provide homes for all our fellow citizens, require adequate social housing provision. We robustly promote the value of investing in social housing. Last year RIBA commissioned a report (Closer to Home) by the think tank IPPR, which argued that it should be for local leaders, such as the Mayors of Liverpool, Manchester or London to determine the level and type of housing provision required in their areas.
Homelessness will not be solved without a significant increase in housing supply in this country. RIBA has not been afraid to call out the Government on their failings in this area, and propose constructive solutions to the problem.
James Arkle, ArkleBoyce Architects
'As a regional practice there is still a perception that the RIBA can be London-centric. How might the RIBA empower and engage the regions and promote the profession?'
I have travelled the UK meeting RIBA members and non-members. You can view some of the feedback at FutuRIBA.co.uk. It is clear there is a real appetite for increased support in our regions and branches and that investment has my full support because increased resources at local level to champion the work of architects in their local markets is a great way to advance the cause of architecture.
Professor Peter Rees, the Bartlett
'Recent governments have neutered the planning system in favour of market forces. The result has been a boom in building investment properties rather than homes. Will the RIBA lobby for better land use control to achieve the development that communities need?'
Riba north entrance ®hufton crow crop
Source: Hufton + Crow
The RIBA champions the positive role the planning system can play in its policy work and lobbying. The Institute is concerned that Section 106 viability assessments are being used to undermine the uses of land required by communities and has been lobbying hard for transparency in viability assessments so that they can be put under proper scrutiny. This included working with the opposition in parliament to table an amendment to the Neighbourhood Planning Bill – I will be continuing to stress that point on behalf of the RIBA.
RIBA is concerned that public land is being poorly used. In the 'Housing Matters: 20 ways to tackle the housing crisis' we recommend that local authorities should be required to consider the social as well as financial benefits when they dispose of public land, and that local authorities should consider partnering arrangements where land and ownership is retained by the authority, possibly in the form of Community Land Trusts.
Jack Pringle, Perkins + Will and former RIBA president
'The CIC was set up to be the pan professional group for the construction industry to represent all professions and present joined up views to government. How do you intend to interface with it and use it?'
The CIC is a great way of engaging across industry on a range of issues, such as Brexit and the future of the construction sector. The RIBA is engaged with the CIC at all levels, and I am keen to ensure this continues as a productive forum. The RIBA also collaborates in a range of arenas, such as construction, the environmental sector and the creative industries in lobbying government for change. I am a great believer that collaboration amplifies the power of our messaging and increases influence. I do however believe that is most effective when delivered around a project-based focus.
The AJ will publish a full interview with Ben Derbyshire in the 7 September issue
Readers' comments (5)
It would appear the new President has a multitude of problems to solve, and is hoping a few earnest platitudes will satisfy an increasingly frustrated membership. Having been elected with less than 10% support of RIBA members, the mandate for this President rests with the 90% who want change. The change needs to begin in-house and at a practical level which can be delivered for the benefit of all members, small practice and large, London based or in the so called "regions". I believe Meredith Bowles' point is well made and achievable but the RIBA has to go much further than taking a stance to stop the commercial exploitation of Architects through poorly conceived and managed competitions. RIBA Client Services is no longer fit-for-purpose and needs a radical overhaul, in particular the advice given in the Directories it publishes, and the Web Searches if facilitates for prospective clients. I complained to RIBA that Client Services were encouraging clients to seek free pre-appointment services from architects and advocating Architects would work for free. RIBA failed to address the issue and I resigned my practice and personal memberships, and will not rejoin until something is done to address this critical issue. It is hardly surprising clients fail to value an architects work if RIBA is arguing architects will work for free. If an architect's services are not valued by clients, then it is unlikely Architecture will be valued either for the contribution it makes to the economy and to society. I challenge the new President to a public debate on the future of the RIBA and will ask the President to address the questions of the 90% who feel disenfranchised by current RIBA Governance.
Chris Roche Founder 11.04 Architects
XRIBA - Ex RIBA Council
Simon Alford
I knew your Dad !
As a regional member I dont think it is a good ides to make the RIBA a club of the select .
re. Chris R. comments
-I agree with almost everything you have said -especially Client Services.
Client Services should be pushing appropriate fee guidance, and also making sure that all print and broadcast media make sure the Architects of a shiny new project are named in articles.
I also hope the RIBA Competitions Dept can expand, especially to move away from these stage-managed stellar-invites only non competitions.
I also agree with your choice to resign, the RIBA has seemed desperate to be irrelevant for the past 40 years. We are barely involved in Grenfell Inquiry it appears.
I chose to stay inside RIBA in the vain hope of a messiah or at least a very naughty boy might come along and lead us back to somewhere loftier .....
My gripe with your comment is that the new President was not elected with less than 10%. 15.2% of RIBA Architects could be bothered voting, the rest have chosen to have no voice.
The RIBA could be changed massively for the good if that 85% demanded it.
Of those that could manage to stick a stamp on a form, he won the count.
So well done to Pres. Derbyshire and good luck to him. I'm sure it is a basically thankless task.
Is Simon Alford for real?
I believe the RIBA has become pretty much irrelevant to those of us day to day running practices- I really hope Ben can reconnect with the architectural heartland.
Grenfell and Brexit are wake up calls - time to push firmly forward, before we become even more marginalised.

I had never heard about Gur Ke Chawal till I got married, at my in-laws' place they all were very fond of this sweet delicacy……I learned this recipe from my Mom in law, she used to make these rice to pamper me while I was pregnant. I always remember her whenever I make Gur Ke Chawal, but she was a supper cook I will never be able to match her level of cooking. This recipe is totally dedicated to her…
Gur ke chawal or jaggery rice are basically originated from Pakistan, but very popular in Punjab also and even in Kashmir. Long grain Basmati rice cooked in jaggery syrup and flavored with cardamom, sauf and bay leaf make this rice super tasty.
Gur Ke Chawal
1 1/2 cup rice, Long Grain Basmati Rice
200 gms Jaggery / Gur
2 tbsp ghee
3 cups water
4 small cardamoms
4 cloves
15-20 raisins
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 tbsp roasted Cashew nuts and almonds
Step 1. Soak the jaggery in 1 cup water for 30-45 minutes.
Step 2. Pick, clean and wash the rice. Soak the rice for 15-20 minutes.
Step 3. In a casserole add the rice and 2 cups water and cook the rice till half
Step 4. Fluff the rice in the casserole itself.
Step 5. Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add cardamom, clove, bay leaf, raisins and
nuts stir and add dash of saffron desolved in 2 tbsp of milk. Add the jaggery
dissolved in water. Stir it gently with the half cooked rice.
Step 6. Stir this too gently with the rice mixture.
Step 7. Now close the cooker with the lid and pressure cook again for 1 whistle. wait for 2-3 min before you open lid.
Garnish the cooked jaggery rice with dry fruits of your choice

GOING ONLINE isn't the only big news to have come from Kiehl's as the brand launched last month its newest product meant to beef up its mask line — the Ginger and Hibiscus Firming Mask.
"We currently have a hydrating mask, one for radiance, and if you think about it, it's only right that we also try to complete the different benefits we can offer through masks," Joan Hwang, Kiehl's Philippines product manager, told BusinessWorld during a media preview in October at Okada Manila, Pasay City.
She described facial masks as the "new frontier" now that people are more knowledgeable about skincare and know how to use serums and moisturizers in their routines.
"It could also be because of Korean beauty trends — it became popular that's why Kiehl's has to come up with our solution," she said.
Korean beauty companies commonly promote a frequent masking routine — sometimes, even every day — to ensure healthy, glowing skin.
The Ginger and Hibiscus mask is also the brand's first sleeping mask and is priced at P3,350 for 100ml.
(Sleeping masks are masks used at the end of a nighttime routine and are only washed off upon waking up.)
The product, which is light mauve in color, has a balm-like texture and is said to "help smoothen and firm skin with hibiscus seed extract and sustainably sourced ginger leaf," according to the product description on the BeautyMNL site.
The product is also said to make the person wake up to skin that "feels and looks smoother."
The company said it can be used every day for five days, and you bet that's what this reporter did when she got a sample from the launch.
For almost a month, I used the mask religiously (you only need a small dollop to cover the entire face) and observed on the first few days that I did get minor breakouts around the chin area but chalked it up to my skin adjusting to a new product in a my extensive routine (I have a seven-step routine that involves two serums and two moisturizers because I have very dry skin).
And then I remembered Ms. Hwang recommended using the mask as a substitute for moisturizer and I cringed because I couldn't do without a moisturizer — but I removed one of my moisturizers and a serum from my routine and after another week, the breakouts calmed down and I could feel that my skin was a bit firmer and moisturized.
So I took it a notch higher and further simplified my routine to only Kiehl's products for an entire week — the Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Wash (P1,725 for 230ml), Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner (P2,425 for 250ml), Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado (P1,725 for 14g), Midnight Recovery Concentrate (P2,825 for 30ml), and, finally, the Ginger mask, in that order.
Was I going too far? Yes, but I like to call it commitment.
And I could say that the combination worked better for me when I used the mask with the brand's other products — my skin wasn't dry and there were no breakouts.
Do note that it is important to let all the products you put on your face time to sink in — a minute or two per product is okay — especially when using the mask after the Midnight Recovery Concentrate because in my experience, when put on too early, the mask doesn't apply well and flakes into little balls, which really isn't a good look.
The question now is, will I revamp my routine for this mask? No, but I will concede that I will probably do this on weekends to rejuvenate my often tired skin, because if we can't remove stress from our lives, at least our skin can give the world (and ourselves) the illusion that we are living our best lives. — Zsarlene B.

Name Droppin': RIDE Berzerker
"The Berzerker is the best of both worlds. The camber/hybrid profile let it rail like a nimble pipe and park board on hardpack and the broadened tip and tail help it float effortlessly through powder and chop. After years of fine tuning with RIDE we've finally narrowed the Berzerker down to a board I can feel confident on in any terrain."

Two Shields Investments plc (LON: TSI), the AIM quoted investment company with a strategy to build a high quality portfolio of investments in fast growing and scalable digital and technology enabled businesses, has today announced that it has today signed a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which certain shareholders of WeShop Limited have conditionally agreed to swap their shares in WeShop for the issue and allotment of new Ordinary Shares in TSI. The Share Swap is conditional upon inter alia the shareholders of TSI granting the requisite authorities to issue the Consideration Shares to complete the Share Swap. TSI shareholders will be asked to consider these resolutions at a General Meeting in the near future.
WeShop is an innovative, digital social network platform focused on the rapidly growing and highly valuable social e-commerce sector forecast to become a US$350 billion market over the mid-term. WeShop's digital platform enhances online shopping experiences by combining social media's assets of reviews, likes, and shares with an engaging retail e-commerce offering, specifically tailored to the individual user. Users benefit from gaining access to thousands of brands and millions of products on one platform plus a two-way sharing of ideas with friends to participate in a rewards system whilst brands and retailers benefit from increased sales and awareness. Retail partnerships with major brands and retailers including ASOS, Harrods, Nike, Tesco and Boots have already been established, and as a result WeShop has a firm foundation for future growth.
Subject to GM approval, the Transaction will be completed with settlement made effective through the issuance by TSI of 1,000,000,000 Consideration Shares, conditional upon Admission. On completion of the Transaction, TSI will increase its holding in WeShop from 1.71% to 6.7% of the issued share capital of WeShop. TSI will acquire 226,667 shares currently in issue from certain WeShop shareholders, taking TSI's holding to 301,918 shares. WeShop has conducted fundraising activities over the last 12 months at £5.98 per WeShop share, including most recently in April 2019, in which TSI acquired 16,722 shares for consideration of £100,000. On this basis, the current Transaction represents an implied issue price of circa 0.136p per Consideration Share.
As the Company announced on 15 March 2019, TSI notes that WeShop has made considerable progress since TSI first invested at £5.98 per WeShop share in July 2018. This progress includes:
· Increase WeShop retailer count from 3,000 to 9,000+
· Increase UK product count from circa 5m to 150m+
· Provide access to a global product feed of circa 1.6bn products in 12 countries
· Provide access to a global retailer count of over 20,000 merchants
· Strengthened management team
In addition, successful completion of the Transaction would result in TSI acquiring new shareholders, some of whom have considerable track records in investing in successful technology businesses. They include Matthew Hammond, the current CFO of Mail.ru, the largest internet business in Russia, and a current Director of WeShop. The new shareholders will be subject to lock-in agreements for 6 months and standard orderly market restrictions for a further 6 months thereafter, as from the date of Admission of the Consideration Shares.
Application will be made for the admission of the new 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, with Admission expected to take place following the GM.
In the year ended 30 June 2018, WeShop reported an unaudited loss of £6,520,229. The net asset value of WeShop at 30 June 2018 was £89,000.
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 3,361,596,558 Ordinary Shares, each with voting rights. The above figure of 3,361,596,558 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
James Sowerby, CEO of WeShop, commented:
"I am personally delighted that TSI is increasing its position as a strategic investor in WeShop. They have demonstrated since their first investment that they are a real partner to the business, working closely with us on our plans. It also represents a strong vote of confidence in us as a business and team, and we look forward to working closely with TSI on the exciting journey ahead.
"The market opportunity for social commerce continues to strengthen, and the overwhelmingly positive feedback we've had from our users validates our product and approach. We are gearing ourselves up for launch in Q3 this year, when we will start to realise the potential that social commerce represents. TSI's ongoing support will enable us to further invest in user acquisition, growth and the product to ensure we are delivering the best possible end to end user experience."
Chairman of Two Shields Investments plc, Andrew Lawley, said:
"The Board of TSI is delighted to have the opportunity to increase our holding in WeShop as it continues its development into a truly global social commerce company. Successful completion of this Transaction will follow WeShop's recent announcement in which it highlighted its product and proposition enhancements, its strengthened team, new branding and the agreements of key commercial deals.
The Transaction is a further example of the Board acting on its stated strategy of leveraging the technology based and highly scalable investments in the portfolio as it continues to seek opportunities to reduce exposure to legacy natural resources exploration assets. The Board is continuing to seek opportunities to realise value in these natural resources assets whilst shielding the Company from any ongoing liability in terms of further capital requirements.
"We look forward to updating the market on progress with the Transaction following the GM and are to hopefully welcoming new shareholders to TSI that believe in our revised strategy and returning value to all shareholders."

Four Epic Benefits of foam or Gel Cleaning You Should Know About
The demands on facility managers to achieve and maintain the highest possible standards of hygiene have increased considerably, with ever more stringent rules to adhere to. As this is for the health and safety of the workforce and customers, it's accepted as a vital component of modern management. However, it can be time-consuming and demanding of substantial amounts of man-hours. Using foam or gel to achieve a deep clean provides a number of advantages over other methods.
When the detergent you apply runs down and only serves to clean the floor, you must apply more to the higher areas, which adds up to a lot of wasted detergent. As foam and gel stay where they're put, this eliminates that wasteful element, saving you money as well as time.The use of foam and gel can improve your company's time management considerably, without compromising hygiene at all. In an efficiency-driven market, it's one advantage that's easy to grab.

Your scent. Your story. Individual expression through scent can create memorable personal connections for you to cherish forever.
Dimensions Fragrance is an offshoot of a major conglomerate, looking to tap into the fragrance market. After being a member of this sector for years, two entrepreneurs noticed that the market for home fragrances was missing a luxury brand. And so, Dimensions Fragrance was born! Living inside the luxury market – Dimensions began the tough task of building a customer based focused on giving each of their future customer's their own personal scent. Building the scent for each of these customers is where BlueSwitch came in…
challengeDimensions had been eyeing out the Shopify platform for years and decided to move forward with it for fulfilling their orders. The one challenge that came about was that they need a custom wizard in order to create these personalized scents. After searching through apps, nothing gave them that luxurious and custom feel they were hoping for. Using the structure of Shopify, BlueSwitch was contracted to create this custom wizard in order to convert people to subscribers of the Dimensions Fragrance. Another challenge was that Dimensions' warehouse required a completely custom EDI integration, so that they could pack each order up seamlessly with little manual labor.
the solution
Using Shopify's framework, the entire system was designed and built from the ground up. Through many design tweaks along the way based on heavy user testing, the personalization wizard evolved into an immersive interactive experience. It was then connected via Multify in a complex integration with Dimensions' warehouse. There, the warehouse was able to fulfill each box special for that customer, all with very little manual intervention. The BlueSwitch marketing team then became involved to drive traffic to this wizard and convert users to the new subscription based model, where Dimensions' refills the pack every 2 months. As time goes on the Dimensions website continues to grow along with their new customer base.

Manager Dean Saunders told Rovers Player that his side are ready for the visit of Crewe Alexandra, this evening, after last weekend's break from the league campaign for the FA Cup.
'We're ready for the game,' he said.
'You can see the players have been giving everything on the pitch. The effort and the determination that the players are showing at the moment shows me that they feel that they have got a chance of doing something good this year - they are fighting for it and if we do really well this year they have got a chance to move their career on as well.
'At the moment the team spirit is really good, they are all fighting for each other and we're getting results so we have got to keep doing what we have been doing.
'We started the season well and we've carried that on. I don't think we've had a rocky patch really but we're not going to win every game. The platform that we have got is solid, there's some good characters in the group and we're defending well; we've only let four goals in from open play all season.'
Dean spoke highly about tonight's opponents and the way that the club continue to nurture players through their academy into the first team and further.
'They're a good footballing team,' he said
'They play the way they have been doing for years; even when I was playing they played the same way and they develop players.
'They have sold Ashley Westwood to Aston Villa for £2m and Nick Powell to Manchester United for, reportedly, £4m in the summer so they've lost their two best players, but they have still got Max Clayton and Ajay Leitch-Smith who are their two strikers and are probably next ones on that list for them.
'They continue to develop players and bring them through the system, I have watched them play quite a lot because my son is there playing in their U18's side.
'They teach all the players to play properly so if we let them play we will be in for a tough evening.'
