Here is my latest addition of some chariot runners and slingers using army painter.No fancy shields with these guys.Here you can see army painter as is without any fancy work to hide behind.
I'm not completely happy as I'm still learning to use army painter and I haven't quite got the mix right just yet,but it's coming along.I'm using a brush to put it on and perhaps I need to let it sit for a few seconds before wiping away the excess.
The nice thing is these guys painted up quick even with adding a quick highlight and that in itself is a motivating factor.
I like the fact that army painter is allowing me to get some armies painted up so I can concentrate on others with more detailed painting methods without feeling like I'm not getting anything done.:-)
Next up for the Trojan army will probably be some Sea Peoples.They have some fun color patterns that I'm looking forward to.

Pearl Jam Music Used for Updated Version of 'Hamlet'
The classic William Shakespeare story of 'Hamlet' received a grunge-style update over the weekend. The production crew at New York City's HERE have added the music of Pearl Jam to their 'Hamlet' remake entitled 'A King Of Infinite Space.'
According to Paste, 'A King Of Infinite Space' reimagines the 'Hamlet' epic as a tale in the Lower East Side in the '90s. The 80-minute production utilizes Pearl Jam's back catalog to flesh out the story.
"Hamlet returns from college to find his uncle Claude married to his mother and plotting to turn the Elsinore, a historic Lower East Side building, into high priced modern condos in what will soon be known as the East Village," explains the official play synopsis. "During a wild drug trip with his friend Horacio, he sees the ghost of his father, and vows revenge for his murder at the hands of Claude."
In other Pearl Jam news, frontman Eddie Vedder took time to visit the Ramones Museum in Berlin a couple of weeks ago while the band was in town for a show. Vedder shared stories and his thoughts about the pioneering punk band, and even left a handwritten note addressed to the late Johnny Ramone.

Analysing the construction of South African youth in historical-related images and texts around the time of 16 June 2011
Siobhan Glanvill
School of Education University of the Witwatersrand firstname.lastname@example.com
This paper aims to investigate how young people in post-apartheid South Africa are being constructed in negative ways in the fight of how we commemorate and teach the Anti-apartheid struggle. Is it possible to teach the stories of the past without burdening this generation with guilt and paralysing the youth in terms of their own struggles? It specifically focus on how the media are currently reconstructing the struggle icons as superhuman, and in so doing, implying that the youth can never live up to the achievements of these heroes. I am interested in how history, as it is taught in our schools can play a role in restoring agency and a healthy respect for the past.

By idolizing those whom we honour, we do a disservice to them and to ourselves...
We fail to recognize that we could go and do likewise. (Charles V Willie)1
Since 1994, June 16 has been a public holiday known as Youth Day. This day, like Women's Day (9 August), has become distanced from its original meaning in that both these days are seen by many as celebrating the present with many South Africans not really knowing much about the events that made these days significant. In the post-1994 spirit of reconciliation, public holidays with political connections were reconstructed to try and create a new South African identity that all could relate to and that the days were about moving forward as one nation, not just about bitter memories from a divided past.
Young South Africans had played a significant role in helping to bring about democracy especially in the traumatic events of the June 16 Soweto Uprising.2 Thabo Leshilo describes how his life was profoundly affected by the day:3
June 16 1976 marked the turning point in my young life I would not be exaggerating to say the day marked the beginning of the end of my childhood ignorance of the world I was among the children who had come to know too much too soon, as the Black Consciousness exponent Muntu Myeza was later to say... I was shocked to read that the dead boy (Hector) was about my age. It could easily have been me, I thought. I was only five months shy of my thirteenth birthday.
History records that many young people left school and took up the cause of Liberation before Education. Karis and Gerhart's research showed that, "In late 1977 it was estimated that almost a quarter of a million pupils were boycotting schools nationwide..."4 It is understandable that after the achievement of democracy in 1994 it was hoped that young people could be truly "young" again and focus on the business of getting through school and enjoy activities that one normally associates with their age group. Politics should become once more the domain of adults.
Bray and Moses explain how the desire for a sense of "normalcy" after the elections in 1994 meant that, generations and gender were called upon to resume their "so-called proper places".5 It was seen as time for young people to move away from politics and protest and take advantage of the opportunities a democratic South Africa would bring them.
The involvement of young people in the anti-apartheid struggle had resulted in two dominant perceptions about the youth: one as 'hero' and the other as 'villain'.
Bray and Moses describe an incident in 2007 when learners at a secondary school in Cape Town protested against a decision made by their deputy principal.6
Dominant adult discourse suggested that the learners had behaved inappropriately, and that children's participation would be legitimate only in alignment with adult agendas. Refusing to go to school is seen as failing to live up to the tenets of responsible citizenship within South Africa's new democracy. Thus to be viewed in the (adult) public domain as protesting 'heroes' no longer appears possible for the current generation of children. Yet the grievances around schooling, unemployment and basic service delivery remain.
Afua Twum-Danso describes how youth are manipulated throughout Africa to participate in politics in times of violent conflict but appear to be marginalized when the nation is at peace. He writes that:7
South African children and young people were a key to the ending of apartheid, but they are now invisible in the so-called 'peace', where their marginalization has arguably contributed to their political apathy.
The research done by Bray and Moses in the Rhini (Grahamstown) study in 2008 has revealed some important insights into young people's reasons for not wanting to get involved in politics post-1994. A matric student explains how disillusioned he is with the way that his uncle has been treated after all that he did to fight for freedom:8
My uncle was a local freedom fighter, and he was also a local hero. He was fighting for the rights of the poor people. But now that we have acquired freedom and democracy he does not benefit from anything, and nobody cares about him, even the people that he used to fight with... So I would rather focus on my education, and secure the place in the next generation.
The Mail and Guardian interviewed young South Africans around Youth Day 2011 and it appeared that many of them felt as if their opinions did not matter and that their voices are not heard.
For example, Thandi Mokaba commented:9
There's so much potential to use in this country if I could take over... So many people have energy and good ideas and we don't use them. Not just us young people in high school, but those of all ages. I think government's problem is they don't listen... They should listen to us, since one day we'll be in places of power.
Perhaps the subject of History could be a space for these young people to learn about inspirational leaders from our past who chose to stand up for what they believed in. The important task in front of us as history teachers is to let our young people see that these individuals were human beings and not some kind of rare super heroes that don't really exist in real life.
Constructions of Youth June 16 2011
Thirty five years after the original events of 16 June 1976 our media was full of criticism of a generation of young people who see Youth Day as one of entitlement and literally as a day for youth to celebrate with wild parties and lots of drinking. The dominant perception is not of youth as "heroes" but rather as "villains".
The cartoonist Dov Fedler, depicts this in a cartoon he drew re-creating the iconic image of Hector Pieterson to make a shocking statement about the Youth of 2011. The young boy being carried is drawn clutching empty beer bottles and the caption asks: "Is he dead? No just dead drunk.. ."10
A moving letter written by a young person called Thabiso Kgabung sums up this perception:11
Youth Day is just another date on the calendar to be enjoyed as a holiday. Most of us indulge in alcohol, sexual intercourse and substance abuse... Perhaps the shift has moved to the celebration and not the acknowledgement of the events of June 16, but funnily enough, we are quick to appear in the media regarding high failure rates, drug intake and sexual activities behind school gates. I can only wonder how the youth define priorities.
When speaking to my students about this perception I was amazed at how many had taken the opportunity to take this cartoon image which had also been circulated as a photograph and set up their Facebook pages to challenge the stereotypes.12
What is important to note is that Njabulo found an original close-up of Sam Nzima's iconic photograph and then juxtaposed the two photographs to confront his friends with the two representations and asked the difficult question: "Is this commemoration?"
After this conversation with Njabulo Mkhize and other students, I decided to in explore some of the issues in this paper to try and understand why there were so many negative perceptions about the youth of 2011 not living up to the youth of 1976.13
People like Jonathan Jansen and Mamphela Ramphele14 are possible role models for the older generation in terms of understanding and valuing our young people.
Jansen writes:15
Whenever I witness the idealism of young people, I remember why I became a teacher. It is not simply what we might offer young people in the form of knowledge and skills; it is what they teach us in return about humanity, healing and hope... Our future lies with this post-apartheid generation of younger people. Our first duty is not to embitter them with our memories. Our second task is not to dampen their idealism. We should rather encourage uncommon valour in the next generation of South African leaders.
I wonder if we have spent so much energy trying to not "embitter" the youth with our memories that we now leave them without a sense of where they come from and that it is more than possible that South Africa has many more Nelson Mandelas, Albertina Sisulus, Helen Josephs, Beyers Naudes.16 In our attempts to respect the heroes of the struggle have we turned them into supermen and women and somehow implied that there could only be one struggle?
Mamphela Ramphele wrote in 2002:17
What is remarkable is that these young people have not yet given up on adults. Adults have failed them at many levels in recent history. During the apartheid era parents could not protect their own children against police harassment and the ravages of poverty. In the post-apartheid society poor parents still seem marginal to decision making affecting bread- and- butter issues in society.
It seems as if in 2011 we as the "parents" continue to let them down and perhaps they are giving up on expecting adults to provide a better world for them.
In my last year of teaching in a Johannesburg high school, I was fortunate enough to teach a granddaughter of Chief Albert Luthuli. She became our Head Girl and certainly would have made her grandfather proud. One day after a lesson on June 16 1976, she came up to me and said: "I wish I lived back then, they had so much to fight for..."
This shocked me into realizing that perhaps I had idealised the Youth of 1976 and that she and others could not see that every generation has its own struggles. I needed to realize that my own experiences at Wits University in the 1980s would affect how I felt about people like Mandela and Helen Joseph as they were heroes to us.
Reconstructions of Struggle Icons as Supermen and Superwomen: The Mandela Effect
This image at first glance is delightful but if you read the caption and think a little more about the message it needs to be challenged:
First the caption "Giant Shoes to Fill" implies that this could be an impossible task for this little girl, Subomi Andekola. One almost feels sorry for her as we realize the enormity of this task. Subomi Andekola is also constructed by the caption underneath the photograph that suggests that she is a "young loyalist"; it is assumed that she is already an ANC supporter celebrating Freedom Day in Sandton Square. What choices will she have to make up her own mind and to find the strength to fight her own causes?
The legacies of Albertina Sisulu and Kader Asmal: How do young South Africans compare?
Just before June 16 2011, the nation lost one of the country's most beloved women, Albertina Sisulu18. Zapiro's cartoon in the Sunday Times on June 5th 2011 treated her passing with great dignity and respect.
She is reconstructed as a "Great Tree" looking kindly down at two little children. Not to take anything away from MaSisulu's legacy but again the idea of a "Great Tree" implies that women like her are very rare and not possible for this generation who can only admire what she achieved and try to look after the little trees in the background that represent the "millions who benefited from the seeds of her struggle".19
A similar response was noted with the death of Kader Asmal on June 22 2011. The editorial of The Times20 stated that:
Asmal's moral compass helped steer us to freedom. South Africa yesterday lost one of its great citizens. Kader Asmal, a leading light of the anti-apartheid struggle, has died. Asmal, who served under two successive presidents as cabinet minister, deserves to be honoured as a true South African whose dedication to the country's liberation struggle will forever be beyond dispute...
The reconstruction of Kader Asmal as our nation's "moral compass" is also depicted in Zapiro's cartoon published in the Mail&Guardian on the 23rd June 2011.
Here again children are drawn in a position which suggests that they have choices to make about which direction they want to follow. Do they choose Asmal's way which is about "Ethics; Humanism; Accountability; Non-racialism and Constitutionality" or do they go with "tenderpreneurship; Cadre deployment; racial populism; Corruption and the Secrecy Bill?"
Zapiro suggests that if they ignore Asmal's moral leadership they will be heading in the direction of a furtive Julius Malema (controversial leader of the ANC Youth League suspended and expelled from the ANC in 2012) depicted hiding in the dark forest. 21
Perhaps all these aforementioned heroes of the Struggle for Freedom deserve accolades, but what concerns me is the way that the youth are told again and again that they are nothing compared to these individuals and the best they can hope for is to follow in their footsteps.22
When adjudicating the Chief Albert Luthuli Oral History competition in the Thembisa district (East Rand), I was saddened to hear this sentiment being expressed by young people themselves. One of the topics was the "unsung heroes of the struggle" and many of them spoke about how special these people were and that their generation was basically wasting all that they had sacriiced.23 Many expressed the opinion that the only option that this generation had was to try and emulate these great men and women in some way.
Not just a South African issue
An attitude of veneration towards great leaders of the past is not unique to South Africa. The American historian James W Loewen writes:
This chapter is about heroification, a degenerative process (much like calcification) that makes people over into heroes. Through this process our educational media turn flesh-and-blood individuals into pious, perfect creatures without conflicts, pain, credibility or human interest.
Loewen explores the representations of Helen Keller and Woodrow Wilson in American History textbooks and he concludes that the way that they have been represented is problematic:24
For when textbook authors leave out the warts, the problems, the unfortunate character traits, and the mistaken ideas, they reduce heroes from dramatic men and women to melodramatic stick figures. Their inner struggles disappear and they become goody-goody, not merely good.
Loewen explains that if young Americans could know the whole story they might find inspiration in the life of Helen Keller rather than seeing her as a caricature of a human being. He believes that: "Denying students the humanness of Keller, Wilson and others keeps students in intellectual immaturity. Our children end up without realistic role models to inspire them".25
Mandela is always saying that the struggle for freedom was not just about him26 and yet in the junior years (Grades 4-9) we teach as if the road to democracy was walked by him alone. It is understandable and important that we do know about this wonderful man but we do not do justice to the story by just focusing on Mandela or by building him up to be more than human.
Kenosi Mosalakae seems to agree with James Loewen as he wrote in a letter to the Sunday Times that Mamphela Ramphele's claim that "Mandela belongs to us all"is more myth than reality because:27
It is the belief in this myth that continues to stagnate the people's intellectual development... Mandela is judged not on what he says or did but on what people imagine he is or has done...We would be in a better position in terms of "national" unity if Mandela had unequivocally acknowledged the Robert Sobukwes, Steve Bikos and Tsietsi Mashininis of this world for what they did and sacrificed for the emancipation of the people rather than ignore them for not being in the ANC. Oneness of a people in a country is only possible when there is mutual respect for each other.
We would do better as a nation to encourage our young people to question and challenge the leadership rather than accept the status quo. Too many of them feel obligated to the ANC without realizing that there are options. They need to know that Hector Pieterson, as tragic as his story was, was not the only hero on June 16 1976.28
When discussing this with my Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) group they expressed concern for the way that the death of Hector Pieterson has been "commodified". The iconic photograph has come to represent the day and that this has led to the stories of other individuals like Tsietsi Mashinini29 literally disappearing from the picture. This really does no justice to Hector Pieterson or the many other youth involved in the day and perhaps has resulted in the 2011 photograph that caused such uproar. (The one that Njabulo has challenged on his Facebook page.)
When I spoke to my son (22 years old) about the photograph he saw something different to me. I was horrified by what I perceived to be a lack of respect and understanding of the original event. He interpreted the image as a powerful statement from an apparently angry youth. Also that not much appears to have actually changed if comparing the backgrounds (township buildings or lack of buildings in both photographs) which may be expressions of a lack of opportunities.
Another perspective given to me by a history student30 is that perhaps the photograph means that "the youth are okay", that they now can appreciate the day rather than fighting the political battles of the late 70s and 80s. This seems to it with the idea of a return to some kind of 'normality' post-1994, where young people have space and time to be young.
Loewen observed that the "heroification" of Helen Keller actually turned her into the subject of many inappropriate jokes:31
In so doing, school children are not poking cruel fun at a disabled person; they are deflating a pretentious symbol that is too good to be real.
Have we in South Africa done the same to our iconic images and heroes?
Baby Tywa, an activist involved in the events of 1976, believes that the youth of today would benefit from the kind of mentorship that her generation received from their leaders.32
My reflections on the day are anchored on the people who built our characters, made us who we are today, leaders who ensured that we imbued the virtues and discipline that underpinned the underground leadership of those days... Drawing from their teachings, we tirelessly sustained our hope, had our rough edges trimmed and contained our eagerness to topple the government of the day.
What is refreshing about Tywa's article is that she acknowledges that it is time for her generation to take on the same mentoring roles with today's youth rather than just complaining about their lack of respect for the sacrifices of the older generation.33
Is it not time for this generation to stop watching from the sidelines with trepidation? Should they not emulate the Comrade Joe Qgabis of yesteryear; or should we resign ourselves, throw our hands in the air and act as if history teaches us nothing?
If one reads and listens to comments about the youth made by the generation that represents their parents, it is frightening how few actually feel accountable for the world these young people have inherited. These very same individuals are quick to compare young people with the icons of the struggle but conveniently ignore their own role as mentors. There is plenty of advice about what young people should be grateful for but not enough about how they too can be heroes of their own struggles.
It is worth noting the words of Michelle Obama (wife of US President Barack Obama):34
Now, I know as your generation looks back on that struggle and on the many liberation movements of the past century, you may think that all of the great moral struggles have already been won. As you hear the stories of lions like Madiba and Sisulu and Luthuli, you may think you can never measure up to such greatness. But while today's challenges might not always inspire the lofty rhetoric or the high drama of struggles past, the injustices at hand are no less glaring, the human suffering no less acute. So make no mistake about it: there are still so many causes worth sacrificing for. There is still so much history yet to be made. You can be the generation.
What role can the history classroom play in enabling and empowering young people to meet the challenges of participating in a democracy?
In many ways this is about how History teachers view their subject and relates to how they feel about handling emotive and controversial topics. Kitson and McCully's research into history teaching in Northern Ireland defines teachers as being "avoiders, containers and risk-takers."35 These broad categories are useful in that they outline how teacher's perceptions of the subject of history affect decisions about discussions on topics that could be emotive and controversial.
The "avoider" will not see that history lessons could be about current and future issues relevant to the students' lives. They see their task as being focused on good exam results and being able to write solid essays. The lessons are always teacher-centered with no room for listening to young voices.
The "container" could allow some discussion about current issues but it would be limited and very much controlled by the teacher.
The "risk-taker" is someone who believes that teaching history is about changing the world. Their lessons are always about linking the past to what is happening today. To this teacher, their most important achievement is to help young people find their own voice and to challenge and question everything.
These categories are presented as a continuum and realistically most history teachers would probably see themselves as moving between the categories as the complexities of meeting external exam requirements do not always allow for debating every issue. It is just useful to see how history teachers in other parts of the world do grapple with similar issues.
Curriculum and Policy Statements (CAPS)
The latest Curriculum and Policy Documents suggest that the Social Sciences (Grades 4-9) should "provide opportunities for learners to look at their own worlds with fresh, critical eyes." It implicitly states that the study of History is supposed to support citizenship within a democracy by:36
Explaining and encouraging the values of the South African Constitution;
Encouraging civic responsibility and responsible leadership, including raising current social and environmental concerns;
Promoting human rights and peace by challenging prejudices involving race, class, gender, ethnicity and xenophobia; and
Preparing young people for local, regional, national, continental and global responsibility.
The table of skills37 suggests that already in Grade 4 learners should be critically analysing and evaluating a variety of information about the past. They should be encouraged to debate and to challenge sources that only present one perspective. They are already starting to understand that "history is a process of historical enquiry" and that "there are many ways of looking at the same thing in the past." This same table is used again for the Grades 10-12 (FET Phase) but more complexity is introduced. For example the word 'sources' is only used from Grade 7 onwards as Grades 4-6 are told about 'how we find information about the past.' The big difference is in the concepts that Grade 10s to 12s are expected to work with.
From these few extracts it is possible that History is expected to be the place that young people engage with the past and challenge pre-conceived ideas, which suggests that they should apply these same skills to make sense of their own worlds and definitely should challenge media stereotypes about themselves.
This same document seems to entrench some of my concerns about too much emphasis on iconic leaders such as Nelson Mandela. The Grade 9 topic entitled, "Turning Points in South African History 1960, 1976 and 1990," states that three key turning points were selected to "allow the learners to appreciate the significance of these events in more depth."38 What is interesting to me is that the brief contextual notes or guidelines in the document only mention Nelson Mandela by name and yet they focus on the formation of the PAC and events that led to the 1976 Soweto Uprising. The third event is entitled, "1990: Release of Nelson Mandela and the unbanning of liberation movements." It seems a pity that they did not specifically mention Robert Sobukwe or Steve Biko39 in the other significant turning points.
We as History educators need to be vigilant and ensure that our learners gain access to a more inclusive past and a deeper understanding of the context of the day-so we see the complexities and ambiguities that help learners to understand that our issues are not that different.
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Grades 1012 (FET) is guided by the overall key question of "How do we understand our world today?"40 Unfortunately the new curriculum does not have the same emphasis on key questions that the outcomes based curriculum had, they have been simplified and generalised. This might however provide an opportunity for the learners to come up with their own key questions.
The enquiry approach
The idea of learners thinking up questions and moving away from looking for answers to predetermined questions relates to a pedagogy used very successfully by the Philosophy for Children approach first outlined by Matthew Lipman.41 This pedagogy is challenging for educators who like to know exactly what direction their lesson will be moving in but it really does allow learners opportunities to listen to each other and to look for questions rather than answers.
Educators in the U.S., Britain and Australia are achieving great success with this methodology as they find that the learners are engaged in the lesson right from the start as the educator provides an initial stimulus which could be a concept like 'war' or a photograph or an extract from a source. The class is given 'thinking time' and each learner is encouraged to write down a question. The learners then choose one question through a democratic process where each learner presents their question and then the class votes. This one question is often an amalgamation of two or three questions that through negotiation are seen as fitting together.
The class then begins the discussion around the chosen question and very clear rules are established about respecting each other and listening. The educator plays a very important role as facilitator but is also part of the community of enquiry and is seen to be learning from the learners as well as making sure that all are comfortable with the way the discussion is going.
Learners are encouraged to respectfully disagree with each other's statements if they think that their reasons are not good enough. There is an emphasis on not just making statements but on always looking for 'good' reasons, which of course is exactly the kind of approach history requires. These communities of enquiry often end with more questions than answers but this can be very valuable as a way of introducing a new topic or concept in history as the learners will be challenging and thinking critically as they explore the evidence in the textbooks and elsewhere.
The journal for history teachers produced by the Historical Association in Britain advocates that key issues in history classrooms should be approached through an enquiry process. For example, "Why have interpretations of the Battle of Rorke's Drift changed over time?"42 This activity introduces learners to a variety of source material; from maps and paintings to the film Zulu. Learners are encouraged to think about the way that the events of the battle have been constructed and reconstructed from 1879 to the 21st Century. The authors comment that, "We encouraged students to emphasise the reasons why the interpretation changed over time."43 This approach is definitely encouraging independent and critical analysis.
What can we do in the history classroom?
Ultimately it is desirable that by the time a student reaches Grade 12 they should have a clear understanding of how history is constructed by historians and they should be able to think critically and evaluate a variety of sources and select evidence to create their own interpretations of the past. In contrast to the way my generation experienced History at school (rote learning from one Afrikaner Nationalist textbook) this should mean that this generation is better equipped to lead our democracy but we need to provide the spaces and opportunities this kind of teaching requires.
We, as History teachers, need to ensure that we provide a variety of sources and that we don't just rely on one "approved" textbook. Most importantly we need to allow discussion and debate so that our young people become used to hearing different voices and opinions and don't see this as a problem but rather as a sign of a healthy democracy that they can and should contribute to. In the light of possible censorship laws (the Protection of Information Bill) being introduced in our country it is so important that we encourage our learners to think and question everything that they read, hear or see.
The history classroom provides many opportunities for using the past to make sense of the present but we as history teachers need to take heed of the words of the American historian James Loewen and not "reduce our heroes from dramatic men and women to melodramatic stick figures."44 We need to encourage our learners to see how human these individuals were and yet they were capable of achieving the most extraordinary things. We hopefully wish to inspire our young people to believe that they too have the same capacity to change their worlds.

16 Nelson Mandela became the first President of a democratic South Africa in 1994 after fighting for freedom and enduring imprisonment for 27 years as a leader of the ANC. Albertina Sisulu was married to struggle leader Walter Sisulu but became a leader in her own capacity as co-president of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in 1983. She passed away on 2 June 2011. Helen Joseph was a white woman who publically supported the ANC she marched to Pretoria in 1956 and was imprisoned and on death row in the late 70s.

Field Guide: Ethnic Markets
We explore five of the city's best ethnic-food markets, and find homemade salsa, fragrant curries and budget-friendly bentos.
(page 1 of 2)
Nijiya Market
Nijiya, which has nearly a dozen Mainland locations, opened its first Hawaii store in Moiliili. The squeaky clean, well-organized grocery offers its own brand of products—some 100 items, including organic rice, nori and coffee—in addition to organic produce grown at its Southern California farm and baked goods made at the company's bakery. The bentos and sushi are great for nights when you don't feel like cooking, while the budget-friendly selection of meats and fish is ideal for when you do feel like whipping up dinner. 1009 University Ave., 979-8977.
Asian Grocery
Local restaurant chefs and home cooks rely on this small, but well-stocked, shop for foodstuffs from Vietnam, Laos, the Philippines, China, India and Malaysia. "Our business is wholesale and retail," says general manager Ravy Winter. "We supply to the majority of ethnic restaurants in Honolulu—Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino and fusion, including Indigo and Roy's." In addition to such staples as teas, spices, fish and tamarind pastes, curry powders, noodles, jasmine and basmati rice and chili sauces, shoppers will find fresh produce and herbs, including kaffir lime leaves, mint and lemongrass. 1319 S. Beretania St., 593-8440.
Mercado de la Raza
Martha Sanchez moved to Hawaii from Cuernavaca, Mexico, 30 years ago, and in 1994 opened Mercado de la Raza, a Latin American market that sells dry and canned goods (including Goya products), sauces, drinks, sweets and spices. "We sell the largest selection of dried chiles in the Pacific," says Sanchez, pointing to a back wall lined with fragrant bins of dried ancho, guajillo and cascabel chiles. In addition to running the place, Sanchez also makes the mercado's homemade tamales (available on the second and last Saturdays of every month), flan and salsa. Sanchez's salsa, which she makes on Thursday nights, has become such a hot commodity that it's often sold out by Saturday. 1315 S. Beretania St., 593-2226.

In FTM2010, we were giving the Source Template feature. I have blogged about that feature and how I use it, have provided some examples that other users have given me to show them how to use the Template feature and my struggle / leaning how to use this feature with the 1940 US Federal Census.
What I haven't shared are the Results of that effort. Not an oversight, but more of I haven't cleaned it all up yet. The new feature in FTM2014 has me restarted. Another user was having a problem with Sources so we did a Google+ Hangout, with the screen sharing capability. I happened, by accident, to share a Family Group Sheet, and showed what the EndNotes looked like when you use the Template. That was the first time, in FTM2014, that I have actually looked at the New Feature in FTM2014, and the way the EndNotes are handled.
In my previous posts on the features, this wasn't really hi-lighted as a change, but when I did the screen share, I saw it. So, I thought I would share it here.
This is a Family Group Sheet from FTM2010 BEFORE the Template Feature.
The hi-lited numbers should be superscript but are not. The EndNotes are sequentially numbered. Of note, is that Marshall Strode does NOT have any Citations. I thought that weird. So, I pulled up his Family Group Sheet (still in FTM2010) .
Two things to note, and it's difficult to see, is that there is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 listed to the right of his Name. The non-superscript numbers are a little clearer on the other fact entries.
The Sources section of the Family Group Sheet is here. This is for the the top Family Group Sheet. The format is wrong, and the Source list has no "white space" / blank space between the EndNotes.
For the 2nd FGS, for Marshall Strode we see.
Much the same but there are two census records and the reference (1) to the book are repeated on the next page of the report.
Now, to FTM2014. Same Family but showing the results of the free form source to the Template feature.
During the clean up, I found some information that I hadn't entered, from those existing records, and rather than seeing 1, 2, 3, 4, we see 1-4 and it is in superscript.
Each of the yellow hi-lited entries are 1, 3-4, and 3, 15, and 2, 5-13, etc.
AND you will notice that the Father now has EndNote numbers.
In this case, Marshall Strode is referred to in the first 10 EndNotes (1-10)
The EndNotes now look like:
Theee are blank spaces between the EndNotes and they are in the Evidence Explained! format.
This example, for me at least, is WHY I spent so much time moving to the Source Template. That is the End Result. I didn't share these before, but am now, thisis the way that FTM2014 formats the EndNotes.

Strategic Plan
On Friday, April 27, 2012, the Board assembled for a plenary session which focused on the Strategic Plan. President Carl J. Strikwerda addressed the changes that had been made to the Plan since the Board last saw it in early February. President Strikwerda wanted to ensure that the Board had a thorough understanding of the Strategic Plan, the accompanying Action Plan, the role of the Strategic Planning Committee, and details of anticipated work to be completed over the summer months in preparation for the Plan's launch in August. At its Business Meeting on Saturday morning, the Board unanimously approved the Plan.

Hello all, my name is Pete Dunk, I live in Kent and I'm a new poster here although I've been using abc for some years. I'm working on an old manuscript (Village Music Project) and I need to reproduce the old fashioned 'play 4 times' symbol which uses a dot in each of the spaces of the stave instead of the usual two generated by |:
Can this be done in abc? Thanks in anticipation!

Author: Heidi Heilig.
Pages: 464.
Published: February 16th 2016 by Greenwillow Books.
Sort: Part 1 of The girl from everywhere.
Source: I received a copy from the publisher on Edelweiss.
Sixteen-year-old Nix Song is a time-traveller. She, her father and their crew of time refugees travel the world aboard The Temptation, a glorious pirate ship stuffed with treasures both typical and mythical. Old maps allow Nix and her father to navigate not just to distant lands, but distant times - although a map will only take you somewhere once. And Nix's father is only interested in one time, and one place: Honolulu 1868. A time before Nix was born, and her mother was alive. Something that puts Nix's existence rather dangerously in question... Nix has grown used to her father's obsession, but only because she's convinced it can't work. But then a map falls into her father's lap that changes everything. And when Nix refuses to help, her father threatens to maroon Kashmir, her only friend (and perhaps, only love) in a time where Nix will never be able to find him. And if Nix has learned one thing, it's that losing the person you love is a torment that no one can withstand. Nix must work out what she wants, who she is, and where she really belongs before time runs out on her forever.
This book got a lot of buzz around the time I read it and I must say that it is worth the hype. I thought it was a really clever, well-written story with interesting characters. This was one of the books I read during the 24 hours read-a-thon with my book club and it was not hard to read it in one sitting.
Nix sails together with her father on their ship, The Temptation, to any place in any time with the help of maps. I loved this concept, although I wish there were more explanations around the maps. They must be new (no one must have used them to travel before) and I still don't really understand why. If some of them are so rare, why not copy them before use? Anyway, they are looking for a very special map: one where Nix's mother is still alive. This is a difficult matter for Nix, because her mother died in childbirth, and Nix has no idea what would happen if she travels to that time. It could erase her entirely, but the complex relationship with her father makes her motivated to help him with his quest.
And boy, did I love their dynamic. It is clear that her father is a troubled man who can think of only one thing: finding the love of his life and getting her back. It is also obvious he loves Nix in his own way and it was great to have a book where a father/daughter relationship is the center where everything evolves around. His passionate search for this map makes sure that the plot takes us all to different places in the world in different time periods.
Another thing I really appreciated was the diversity in this book. The crew showcases many different people from other cultures and sexuality. Take Kash, a Persian thief who is Nix's best friend. I am someone who does not need much romance in a book and I loved how Heidi handled this. Nix and Kash first start out as really good friends and not too much happens, but that is what made me ship them so hard. Plus, sass and banter!
I think this book was a great start of a series and I very much look forward to the sequel.
"Sometimes a person has to let go of something to take hold of something else."

The mistery quality, is definately a favorite of mine.
Gueishas hold a spell onto just that.
As a matter of fact, this is just one of the reasons I treasure their almost lost culture.
Therefore, they (the Gueishas) deserve a category here in this blog simply to wonder, every now and then.

"CFR globalist Newt Gingrich is the ideal candidate for the ruling elite. He has served the elite faithfully and helped it trade away our national sovereignty. He worked with Bill Clinton to foist NAFTA on the American people and move millions of jobs into the China slave labor system of totalitarian globalism."
Kurt Nimmo
The establishment has left the flubber Rick Perry in the dust and may do likewise to Mitt Romney as the 2012 election season gears up. It looks like they are putting their money behind the former Speaker of the House and seasoned globalist, Newt Gingrich.
On Sunday, Gingrich received the endorsement of the influential editorial board of the New Hampshire Union Leader. "We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing," said an editorial penned by publisher Joseph W. McQuaid.
"A lot of candidates say they're going to improve Washington. Newt Gingrich has actually done that, and in this race he offers the best shot of doing it again," he added.
The Union Leader endorsement is considered influential because New Hampshire is an early primary state. "The failure to win the board's endorsement may be a setback for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign which has struggled to win support from Tea party-affiliated voters and the right-wing of the GOP base," reports The Hill.
Despite the endorsement for Gingrich, however, Romney still leads in the first primary state. According to a Suffolk University/7News poll conducted last week, Romney has the support of 41 percent of likely GOP voters. Gingrich came in second with 14 percent and tied with Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
A Bloomberg poll held on November 10 placed Ron Paul second at 17 percent, while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich came in at 11 percent. All the other candidates were below 10 percent.
The Union Leader endorsement is designed to push Gingrich above Paul in the polls. The establishment is vexed by Ron Paul's stubborn popularity despite its best efforts to ignore him and minimize his participation during its highly stage-managed debates.
CFR globalist Newt Gingrich is the ideal candidate for the ruling elite. He has served the elite faithfully and helped it trade away our national sovereignty. He worked with Bill Clinton to foist NAFTA on the American people and move millions of jobs into the China slave labor system of totalitarian globalism.
During his stint in the House, Gingrich also supported GATT and the WTO, two big cornerstones of the one-world government agenda. "Gingrich's Benedict Arnold act helped to hand over the power to regulate foreign commerce, a power reserved in the Constitution to Congress alone, to an internationally controlled body, making America's economic interests entirely at the mercy of the WTO," explains Rebecca Terrell, writing for Campaign for Liberty.
Now that he is masquerading as a "conservative" in order to fool Americans next November, Gingrich has backed away from the climate change mantra he so unenthusiastically supported before he was groomed once again for GOP nominee.
In the video below, Newt shills for climate legislation with Democrat Nancy Pelosi. Last week he told Fox News' Sean Hannity that the ad "is probably the dumbest thing I've done in recent years."
In 2007, however, Mr. Speaker was talking out the other side. At that time, Gingrich praised Democrat John Kerry's book about environmentalism and said global warming is real. He offered what amounted to an unexpected apology for his party's inaction on curtailing greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Boston Globe.
Gingrich, of course, is fully behind the plan to implement carbon taxes under the ruse of climate change, but will turn in an Oscar performance in order to trick the voting public. If elected, he will turn on a dime, pull an Obama, and go back on his disavowal of the climate change agenda.
Gingrich likes to parade as a constitutionalist. In fact, he is a sworn enemy of the Constitution. His Contract With America was one of the most unconstitutional pieces of legislation to ever come down the congressional pike. It proposed amending the Constitution with a "balanced budget amendment," a completely unnecessary proposal if Congress would only act on constitutional programs.
Gingrich's Contract also allocated a ton of money to unconstitutional "federal crime-fighting measures, despite the Constitution's prohibition on federal involvement in police matters outside of piracy and treason. Countries that do not have such strict constitutional safeguards on federal police end up with Gestapos, KGBs, and Departments of Homeland Security," notes Terrell.
Newt has also expressed his contempt for the concept of a Fourth Amendment when he told Fox's Bill O'Reilly that Americans should be subjected to drug testing. He cited the advanced police state of Singapore as an example of the sort of drug policy the United States should have.
Finally, in order to understand just how dedicated Gingrich is to destroying the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, consider that he described himself as a "conservative futurist" who enthusiastically recommended as Speaker of the House his colleagues read Alvin Toffler's 1980 book The Third Wave.
In the book, Toffler wrote a letter to America's "founding parents," in which he said: "The system of government you fashioned, including the very principles on which you based it, is increasingly obsolete, and hence increasingly, if inadvertently, oppressive and dangerous to our welfare. It must be radically changed and a new system of government invented – a democracy for the 21st century." According to Toffler, our constitutional system is one that "served us so well for so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and be replaced."

The products subject to recall bear the establishment number "EST. 18951" inside the USDA Mark of Inspection and a date on the packages prior to Aug. 11, 2015, in the format of "mm dd yy."
The problem was discovered by an FSIS in-plant inspector during a label review. The firm believed the releasing agent was a processing aid that did not need to be declared on the label.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. "Ask Karen" live chat services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Chicago, IL
The Art Institute of Chicago was founded as the Chicago Academy of Design in 1866, whose purpose was to provide a challenging education in the studio arts and exhibition opportunities for its students. The School incorporated as the Chicago Academy of Fine Art in 1879, and changed its name to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1882. The Museum and School moved into a building designed and built for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Today the School is known as the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).
Since 1976, SAIC has occupied its own cutting-edge facilities adjoining the Museum and its new Modern Wing overlooking Grant Park and Lake Michigan with additional buildings throughout an urban campus at the heart of the Chicago Loop. Throughout the history of the School, alumni have played central roles in important art movements. It was SAIC that provided the impetus for two significant schools of American painting—the Regionalists of the 1930s, and the Imagists of the 1960s. Some of the most notable names in the arts received their early training at SAIC, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Claes Oldenburg, H.C. Westermann, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Ivan Albright, Ed Paschke, Roger Brown, Halston, LeRoy Neiman, Elizabeth Murray, Cynthia Rowley, David Sedaris, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Sarah Vowell.
SAIC today
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the largest accredited independent schools of art and design in the country. Providing degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels, SAIC has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top graduate art programs in the nation, as well as by Columbia University's National Arts Journalism survey as the most influential art school in the United States. SAIC offers a broad and dynamic spectrum of study including art and technology; arts administration; art history, theory, and criticism; art education and art therapy; fashion design; filmmaking; historic preservation and interior architecture; painting and drawing; performance; photography; printmaking; sculpture; sound; time arts (time-based media); video; visual communication; and writing. A comprehensive program in liberal arts emphasizes the critical role that humanities, mathematics, and sciences play in artists' development. The SAIC also serves as a national resource for issues related to the position and importance of the arts in society.

The number of homicides on record in New York City has dropped significantly during the first half of the year — to 154 from 202 in the same period last year — surprising even police officials who have long been accustomed to trumpeting declining crime rates in the city.
In the first 178 days of 2013, the city averaged less than a murder a day, the first time the police can recall that happening for any sustained period. The latest numbers were recorded through Thursday.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly attributed much of the drop to a new antigang strategy meant to suppress retaliatory violence among neighborhood gangs. Police officials also credited their efforts at identifying and monitoring abusive husbands whose behavior seemed poised to turn lethal.
The recent decrease in violence is all the more striking because last year the department recorded the fewest homicides since it began a reliable method of compiling crime statistics half a century ago. The police recorded 419 murders in 2012.
"By far, it was the lowest, and guess what?" Commissioner Kelly said Friday morning before going on to announce that the number of murders this year was running about 25 percent below even that record year.
"In my business, in our business, this is miraculous. These are lives that are being saved."
The relationship between the drop in murders and the department's controversial policy of stopping, questioning and sometimes frisking people on the street was hard to immediately divine.
On the one hand, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Mr. Kelly have cited the declining murder rate as a vindication of their policing strategies, which rely heavily on the stop-and-frisk tactic.
On the other, stop-and-frisks have dropped off considerably in the last 15 months, suggesting that the drop in murders might have been a result of other factors.
In the first three months of 2012, police records indicate, there were 203,500 stops. But in the first three months of this year, the police recorded fewer than 100,000 stops.
Over the last two decades, the decline in murders in New York has been greater than in other parts of the country. (In the early 1990s, when Mr. Kelly spent a little more than a year as police commissioner, the first of his two stints in the job, the city was coping with about 2,000 murders annually.)
Mr. Kelly has long discounted much of the criticism of stop-and-frisk as coming from a small number of advocacy groups that he says are disconnected from the communities in the Bronx, north Brooklyn and parts of Queens, where his policing strategies have been focused.
But even as the police make further inroads in suppressing violence in East New York, Brooklyn, and South Jamaica, Queens, neighborhoods with an outsize share of violence, there is a sense of frustration among police officials that their results have not quelled such criticism.
Referring to the drop in crime, Mr. Kelly said on Thursday, "Some people apparently are not satisfied with that."
His remarks came hours after the City Council passed two pieces of legislation, one that would put in place an inspector general to investigate the Police Department and another that would expand New Yorkers' ability to sue over racial profiling by officers.
Noting how the latest reduction of violence coincided with a diminishing number of street stops, some civil rights lawyers have grown more vocal in questioning not only the legality but also the effectiveness of stop-and-frisk tactics.
But police commanders point to what they say is the long half-life of the deterrent effect of stop-and-frisk, saying that criminals may decide to leave their guns at home because they have been stopped in the past, even if the odds of a stop have decreased in recent months. And the police say the decrease in violence has most likely led to a corresponding decrease in suspicious behavior, which results in fewer stops.
"Stop-and-frisk, believe me, that is one aspect of what we do, we have a whole complex array of tactics and strategies that we use," Mr. Kelly said on Friday as he cited his year-old antigang initiative.
The program relies heavily on tracking the online activities of neighborhood gangs, in effect, trying to prevent shootings before they happen.
Mr. Kelly said that the initiative had led to a 52 percent decline in shootings in the 75th Precinct, which covers East New York.

Geralt of Rivia, completely wasted and about to gamble everything he has on a game of Gwent.
So I´ve been at this for a while, trying, failing and stripping a mini maybe 10 times before I set my mind to what I want to do. And along the way I find alot of awsome painters and artists whom show some awsome skills.
So inspiration is there alot of.
Anyway. Recently I got asked to do some Tutorials, and I´m honored that someone ask for it by me, when I see myself as a medium-skilled painter.
So a shou-out to "ageofsquidmar" on instagram for a bunch of good tutorials
After some experimenting with photography I am now able to create better pictures of my sculpts.
My latest sculpt a dwarven scribe and redo of the swordwoman. Both made from polymer clay, green stuff and wire.
Dwarf is about 30 mm high from the wood base, the swordwoman 39mm from feet to head.

Another S.T.A.L.K.E.R. esque project. I'll be uploading more of those later. By the way, is this the appropriate place to post pictures for people to see? I'm not very good at navigating this particular website to be honest.

The Freshness
Sorry, P-Diddy, it ain't always about the benjamin$. In fact, sometimes it's just about quality of life, staying where you're adored and remaining humble. Gee, what a novel idea.
How many other 28 year-old pitching stars would waive their first two years of free agency eligibility during the prime of their lives? How many other stars would take less money than they know they'll be offered down the road in order to stay in the city, with the team, that they love? That's exactly what Adam Wainwright did in signing his new four-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday. The current cornerstone of the Cardinals pitching staff and phenom stopper during the Redbirds' 2006 World Series Championship run is proof that ballplayers who are humble and realize just how lucky they are to be playing baseball for a living really do exist.
"I get to do it in St. Louis, where the fans are the greatest in the
game, and I love the city and my wife loves the city, and that's what's
most important to us," he said. "We're going to be there for,
hopefully, a long, long time, and a long time after this contract. My
wife is very, very excited about this deal, and I look forward to
raising our daughter there. It's just a great situation for both
parties, I think."
Now don't get me wrong. I am not one to say that ballplayers should be making less money. Not at all. I think they do deserve what they're worth in regards to the overall revenues of the game and I think baseball is much better off with free agency. But it's just nice to know that some players are satisfied with 2 million a year as opposed to 22 million.
And believe me, Adam is getting paid. He won't be making a salt miner's salary, that's for sure. But if he just held out for two more years it's almost guaranteed that he'd be getting big bank offers for his services, probably from teams like the Evil Empire.
Waino likes the Cardinals organization. He likes St. Louis. His wife likes St. Louis, too. He actually consulted his wife! Wow! What a guy! I won't go as far as my sister has and declare that he is the most attractive man in baseball, but I will give him mad props (*cliche warning) for being a breath of fresh air.
Speaking of mad props, I want to take a second and commend some of the superior blogging going on at MLB by everyday joes like myself. These fellas continue to draw me in with their superior reporting/pontificating/lampooning: Cardinals Kingdom, by Brady, is a must for Redbirds fans, especially those interested in minor league developments. Paul at Prince of New York repeatedly impresses with his unique insight and well-researched ideas that tackle all angles of the game (buy his book here). And Matt at Diamondhacks is witty, funny, edgy, brave and downright hilarious with his atypical style of genius. I read these every day. You should too.
And please don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursor Molecules
Ambion® Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursor Molecules are small, chemically modified double-stranded RNA molecules designed to mimic endogenous mature miRNAs. These ready-to-use miRNA mimics, which are similar to, but not identical to siRNAs, can be introduced into cells using transfection or electroporation parameters similar to those used for siRNAs. They enable detailed study of miRNA biological effects via gain-of-function experiments. Positive and negative control Pre-miR miRNA Precursors or the Pre-miR™ Precursor Starter Kit can be used to optimize transfection of Pre-miR miRNA Precursors.
Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecules have been carefully designed and modified to ensure that the correct strand, representing the desired mature miRNA, is taken up into the RNA-induced silencing-like complex responsible for miRNA activity. In contrast to miRNA expression vectors, these synthetic molecules can be used in dose response studies due to their introduction directly into the cell by transfection or electroporation. Thanks to their small size, they are easier to transfect than vectors, and can be delivered using conditions identical to those used for siRNAs.
Use of Pre-miR miRNA Precursors enable miRNA functional analysis by up-regulation of miRNA activity. Specific experimental designs include: miRNA target site identification and validation, screening for miRNAs that regulate the expression of a gene, and screening for miRNAs that affect a cellular process.
miRNA-related cellular functions identified through use of Pre-miR miRNA Precursors can be further investigated using Anti-miR™ miRNA Inhibitors, which enable loss-of-function experiments through reduction of miRNA activity.
NOTE: Pre-miR miRNA Precursors are not hairpin constructs and should not be confused with pre-miRNAs.
Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursor Negative Controls
Pre-miR Negative Controls are random sequence Pre-miR molecules that have been extensively tested in human cell lines and tissues and validated to not produce identifiable effects on known miRNA function. Cy™3 and FAM™ dye-labeled Pre-miR Negative Controls are also available for monitoring transfection efficiency in transfection experiments using Pre-miR miRNA Precursors. The fluorescent label enables direct observation of the cellular uptake, distribution, and localization of the control. These dye-labeled controls are labeled at their 5' end and have the same oligonucleotide sequence as unlabeled Negative Control #1.
Pre-miR™ hsa-miR-1 miRNA Precursor (Positive Control)
Pre-miR hsa-miR-1 miRNA Precursor is offered for use as a positive control in experiments utilizing Pre-miR miRNA Precursors. This precursor was chosen as a positive control because, upon delivery into cells, it effectively down regulates the expression of twinfilin-1, also known as PTK9, at the mRNA level. Effective delivery and activity of the Pre-miR hsa-miR-1 miRNA Precursor can be detected by real-time PCR using a TaqMan® Gene Expression Assay to PTK9 (Assay ID: Hs00702289_s1 [human], Mm01598980_g1 [mouse]).
Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursor Libraries
The Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Library - Human consists of 1090 miRNA mimics corresponding to 1,240 human mature miRNAs cataloged in version 15 of the miRBase Sequence Database. This collection of miRNA mimics enables rapid study of miRNA function and can be used to simplify identification of miRNAs that interact with a particular target transcript. Each Pre-miR miRNA Precursor is in a quantity of 0.25 nmol, dried in individual wells of a 96 well plate. This amount is sufficient for 250 transfections when used at 10 nM in 96 well plates. miRNA Precusor libraries plated as 1.0 nmol, dried in individual wells of a 96 well plate are also available.

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anal canal that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. They're very common in the last months of pregnancy when the uterus pushes on rectal veins, and many women also get them during childbirth.
Hemorrhoids are uncomfortable, but they usually resolve on their own. Until then, try these tips for relief:
- Drink more water and eat high-fiber foods.
- Don't sit for too long. Lie on your side several times a day.
- Clean the area with moist toilet paper, witch hazel pads, or Tucks pads.
- Apply ice packs to relieve discomfort.
- Take a warm (but not hot) bath for 20 minutes, several times a day.
- Use Preparation H, Anusol, or 1% hydrocortisone cream to relieve pain.

PROVIDENCE - Senior Sean McGonagill scored 13 of his team high 18 points in the second half to rally Brown to a 72-61 win over Central Connecticut at the Pizzitola Sports Center Saturday afternoon, to improve its record to 5-2 overall. Central Connecticut fell to 1-5 for the season.
Trailing 31-27 at the half, Brown's offense finally got on track, outscoring the Blue Devils, 28-12, to open the half and take a 12 point lead, 53-43, on a layup by junior forward Dockery Walker with 11:18 remaining in the game.
Central Connecticut pulled to within five points, trailing 63-56, on a floating layup by Kyle Vinales with 7:16 left in regulation.
Brown quickly answered to take control with a 6-0 run on two points by freshman forward Leland King and four points by Walker to lead by 11 points with 5:15 remaining, 67-56.
"We did a great job on their post players in the second half, keeping them off the boards after getting out-rebounded (21-19) in the first half," said Brown head coach Mike Martin. "Overall, we played a solid second half both offensively and defensively." Brown ended up out-rebounding the Blue Devils by a 44-31 margin.
McGonagill, the Ivy League's leading scorer, connected on 6-of-13 field goals, including 4-of 8 from behind the three-point arc. With 18 points, he moved into 12th place on Brown's all-time scoring list with 1,249 career points, moving past Brown legends Phil Brown (1972-75) and Peter Moss (1977-80), who each scored 1,241 career points.
The Bears' frontcourt made the difference in the game with three big men scoring in double figures. Junior forward Rafael Maia registered a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, connecting on 5-of-6 field goals and 3-of-4 free throws, while Walker scored all of his 10 points in the second half.
King also chipped in with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field. Sophomore forward Cedric Kuakumensah didn't score for the Bears, but pulled down 10 rebounds and blocked three shots.
Freshman forward Steven Spieth proved to be a defensive stopper for the Bears, holding Central Connecticut's high-scoring Vinales to just 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting. Spieth finished with eight points and five rebounds.
"Steven was recruited as an impact player and he's given us a defensive identity," said Martin. "We've matched him up against our opponents' top scorer in our last two games and he's done a great job."
The Blue Devils were led by Faronte Drakeford, who scored a game high 22 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the field. Brandon Peel just missed a double-double for Central with nine points and a game high 12 rebounds.
Brown held a 25-20 lead following a lay-up by freshman Steven Spieth with 5:04 left in the opening half. The Blue Devils went on an 11-0 run to grab a 31-25 lead over the Bears, highlighted by four points by Faronte Drakeford in the spurt.
Spieth's layup with 1:32 left in the half cut Central Connecticut's lead to 31-27 at intermission.
Brown heads down to the Nation's Capital on Saturday, December 7, facing American University in Washington, DC in an afternoon matchup, starting at 2:00 pm.
