Pros and Cons of Being a Military Brat
Gauri Huddar
Aug 22, 2020
Military brats!!! Their life is as diverse as it can get, with their mobile living. But, is it always all peachy? Let's view both sides of this lifestyle in this Story.
Are you a military brat? Or do you have a friend who is one? A military brat, as opposed to what the name suggests, is actually a common term of endearment that is used to describe kids who are born to parents who serve in the armed forces. Either one or both the parents, are employed in one of the branches of the military. These kids seem to have all the things that one would need at their age, when you look at their life from the outside.
The adventure of traveling to new places, meeting new people, getting acquainted with new cultures, new languages, material comforts, etc... But as always, there are two sides to this coin. There are also many disadvantages of living the kind of life these kids do. Let us see the pros and the cons of being a 'military brat'.
Pros of Being a Military Brat
Foremost in the list of pros, is the immense exposure that these kids are subjected to. Traveling to new places, getting to know and absorb new cultures, traditions, cuisines, ways of life, etc., adds to their perspective, broadens their thinking, and shapes their personalities. And actually experiencing these things, as opposed to reading about them, can add a whole lot of depth to the knowledge.
Next is the social aspect. These kids get to meet so many interesting people of different states and nationalities, and make new friends, which gives them a social circle spread out over many countries.
Interacting with people from different countries, is like getting first hand information about that country, and is much better than getting to know what is happening in that country through newspapers and television.
Social networking sites these days have made getting in touch with someone so incredibly easy, that distances seem not to pose any problems or restrictions when making and keeping in touch with friends all over the world.
Frequent traveling, meeting new people, getting accustomed to new things all the time, also toughens these kids emotionally.
They have to learn to adapt to new places, cultures and people quickly, which helps them to be more accepting of continuous change and develop their ability to adapt according to their location, companions, etc.
They are usually quick to form friendships as compared to other kids. Many of us hate having our routines disturbed, so can you imagine the strength these kids have, to be so accepting of change that it is second nature to them?
Another aspect in favor of military brats, is that they learn to take care of themselves at an early age. Since their parents are in the military, it is difficult for them to be there for their kids to blow over every scraped knee, and to hug every fear away.
So these kids learn to take care of themselves, learn to handle small tasks, hurts and look out for themselves. They will not be the ones to cling to their parents when being dropped off at a new school, but the ones who will hop out and probably make a friend before they have reached their classroom.
So these kids learn to take care of themselves, learn to handle small tasks, hurts and look out for themselves. They will not be the ones to cling to their parents when being dropped off at a new school, but the ones who will hop out and probably make a friend before they have reached their classroom.
The maturity of these kids at a really young age is also amazing. Hearing about war stories first hand, having to face the fear that your dad may not come home, looking out for siblings at home and in school, makes them grow up in a way that is just remarkable.
You don't have to teach them every little thing about coping with little setbacks and counting their blessings. They usually learn manners, respect, patriotism, independence, obedience without having to be taught these things at school. They have it down pat.
And of course, there are the perks of being a military kid. The lunches, theater shows, special treatment when you wield your ID, admission to visit places that may not be open for civilians, can't be held back in school (although, this could turn out to be a con), and the list goes on. Most military brats will agree that they have been pampered. And who will complain against being pampered and spoiled? Not me, if I were one, that's for sure.
Cons of Being a Military Brat
Probably the hardest question that a military brat has to answer is, "Where are you from?" The continuous moving can leave the young kids confused and could cause an identity crises in some of them. Moving frequently can be tough on the kids if they are introverts, and make friends slowly.
Just as they begin to settle down and start building friendships in one place, they have to shift to some other place and start the process all over again, and then all over again after a few more years and so it goes on. There is hardly any place they can call home, either every place is home, or no place feels like home.
If the kids are settling into important years in school, and the entire family cannot move to the new location, then at such times they have to put up with the separation which can be a few years long. It's not at all easy living away from someone you love, be it mother, father, siblings or friends. Specially if the kids are close to the family member that is living away, they are bound to be depressed for a little while at least, till they get used to the person's absence.
Being in some place for a small amount of time is not enough to form deep friendships and relations and once you move away, it becomes difficult to keep in touch with your friends emotionally.
Sure you have Facebook and Twitter, so you know what your friends are up to in their lives, but what you get from these things is just a sliver of the cake, and often, they end up feeling emotionally isolated.
Some prefer to keep their friendships superficial because they think they cannot put up with the loss of another friend when it is time for them to move away.
So in conclusion, it is a good life if you ask any military brat, and more often than not they will tell you that they wouldn't exchange their life for anything! It may get tough at times and at times it's horrible, and you just want to pull through. But in the end, it leaves you stronger and with many happy memories and cherished experiences that wouldn't have been possible if you weren't an army brat.

Nature always gives us signals as seasons change. When summer starts to shift toward fall, leaves will begin to turn beautiful colors. Another sure sign that fall is right around the corner is the arrival of colorful and beautiful fall mums in garden centers.
Now is the time to plan and decide where to use these plants effectively around your home and landscape. A newer trend for growers is to mix colors in containers, so be ready for even more decisions!
Watch this video for information on how to get your mums to last through the winter:

Just Let Go and SwearI didn't expect to write about this, but some things just get under my skin.
Today I saw someone on Twitter chide a celebrity for a single swear. It was a retweet, which they could have set up to be blocked after the assault on their delicate sensibilities. Instead they unfollowed and had to mention the offender before they they did, I guess thinking to warn her followers of the person who was no longer worthy of her. This of course invited comments from the celebrity's less sensitive followers. Though it's her choice and not acceptable to harass her, most of what I saw was disbelief that someone could be so decisively unforgiving, no second chances. I don't get it either and never will. Of course, I understand when there is excessive, unnecessary swearing. But some seem to lump everyone who lets the expletives fly once in a while into the unpleasant, abrasive, immature complainer category, and pretend that they are above everyone because they don't use certain words. Seriously, Google those adjectives and see what they think of you. I'm not going to link to or even mention the site, because I don't want that morally superior bull in here. Sorry, I grew up with swearing. I have brothers who don't go a day without saying something cringe-inducing or laugh-out-loud hilarious, which usually uses naughty language, but they know how to act in public and treat people right.
Life is not just puppies and rainbows, and language reflects that. Swears are a form of expression when nothing else will do (granted, it's the first form for some). Imagine being in a firefight and you were on your last bullet. Would you keep it clean and say "Nuts. We're not getting out of this alive. Oh, shootskididdles"? No! That's not remotely what would come out of the "purest" person's mouth. If you fall down the stairs or fall off your bike, you will not be hollering, "TIDDLYWINKS!!!" How unrealistic would movies and television and books and music be if none of those things ever had a swear to emphasize how dire a situation was or to add comedy? Just about everything I love, the unfollower would hate. I can see one day a beloved musician unexpectedly cussing in a song, and she can't ever listen to her favorite songs again knowing what horrible person created them. I am writing right now about The Wolverine, which had some unexpected swears. They made me grin, not swiftly exit the theater in revulsion, demanding my money be refunded for such an insult to my ears.
Would this person stop seeing family because they used a dirty word? I can't imagine the droves of people in her everyday life that she's pissed off or made feel like shit for her puritanical view. Quite sad. I hope none of this is true, that she just doesn't want to see it in her Twitter feed, that this grown woman doesn't subsist on an entertainment diet of Sesame Street, Green Eggs and Ham, and Veggie Tales, and that she loves her family the way they are.
One cannot always find the right word. Get off your high horse. Sometimes you just have to give in and say "Fuck!"

Black Friday. When Americans are not just encouraged but expected to go out and shop till they drop. Or till they trample their fellow Americans in pursuit of a cheaper flat screen TV.
"Black Friday. Because only in America, people trample others for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have."
"Black Friday combines every great American pastime into one: camping, shopping, standing in line, rioting and fist fighting."
"Stop buying shit you don't need."
The new says 45 million people will shop on Black Friday. I love to shop, too, but not in regular retail stores. Where's the challenge in seeing everything all brand new and perfect? I prefer thrift stores, consignment shops and flea markets, where finding something I love — or fit into — isn't a given but a happy coincidence. Or a fuckin' miracle, depending on the place.
So today, I decided to spotlight two friends who create the feeling of home and hearth — where there is no home or hearth — through the food they serve. I'm admitted non-cook. Almost an anti-cook. If I can't heat it up in the microwave in three minutes or pour it out of a bag and toss some salad dressing on it, I ain't makin' it. But these women not only cook for themselves, their friends and family; they cook for complete strangers! Now that, in my book, is a real talent! Love expressed through food is a whole different ballgame.
Roseann Rostoker and I have been friends since she was a regular at Click + Drag. When Mother closed and I started promoting at True, "Madame Cole" was my partner in Gomorrah. We had four different teams who each took one Wednesday a month; Madame and I were a team. I've experienced some of the wildest nights of my life with this woman. And you know that is saying a whole lot! Seriously. Stuff I can't even write about. I'll let your imagination wander with that one! Anyway, as Roseann she would invite me to her home and one Thanksgiving I stuffed myself with so much amazing Italian food she'd prepared I thought I'd never eat again. Now "Roe" lives in New Orleans, where she runs a restaurant called Red Gravy. (Please read her little bio in the About section. If it doesn't make you want to fly down there and dine with her, you're a heartless fool!) Five years ago, she moved to a new city, started a new business and has become an active, valuable member of a whole new community. I'm not surprised. If you find yourself in the Big Easy, stop by and say hi!
Sylvia Sanchez feeds the motley Playa Restoration crew, the 150-or-so dusty, wind-battered folks who stay on till the bitter end of Burning Man, picking up the event's final tiny remains. As she said in an interview with Ignite, "Very simply, I love to cook for my friends and family, and yes, after three months of living and working together, these people are part of your chosen family. Feeding people well and then having them tell you that they eat better out there than they do at home is the highest compliment a chef can get. Of course, I couldn't do this without the amazing crew I have. I tip my hat at them for everything they do to help me make this happen." I can attest that she makes me feel like family! Every year I weep with gratitude when we start eating back in the Saloon and Sylvia makes sure we have real coffee. Reeeeealllll cooofffeeeeeeee. Sylkia has served up delicious food in Austin, TX and is currently plating amazing grilled cheese in San Francisco.

Edmund Burke once said, "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." This is why a trip to Auschwitz is most important as you travel through your European holiday. This was the largest camps where streamlined killing took place on a daily basis. Almost 1.1 million people lost their life here which makes this death camp a symbol for the evilness of man and the results that can occur when power is placed in the wrong hands.
Take Respect with You to Auschwitz
As you tour the grounds you should remember that you are visiting a grave site so your behaviour should be respectful and dignified at all times. Some men and women did survive the atrocities of Auschwitz and still others are direct descendants of those who were murdered. Be sure to follow these guidelines as you tour the property.
- Do not make any jokes about any group or person.
- Don't deface the site in any form or fashion.
- Be discreet when you use your camera; there is likely to be someone nearby with a personal connection to the tragedy that took place here.
- Don't chew gum or litter with any papers or trash over the property.
You should treat this site with dignity, solemnity, and honour that it deserves as you tour the area.
What You Should See
Auschwitz I is the first building and it contains military barracks where you'll find old photos, materials, and memorabilia that show the cruelties and harshness of this camp. Next you'll go to the main building where there's a museum and a theatre that shows a fifteen minute film; this movie is too graphic for children and should not be shown to them. Even though you may be disturbed by watching the movie, it should be seen as you begin your tour of the camp. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the second part of the camp and is about 3km away. You'll be able to see the old railroad tracks, the buildings where prisoners were first brought into camp, and the ruins of some gas chambers where people lost their lives. There are nearby ponds where thousands of ashes of people were dumped without any regard for ceremony or religious beliefs. Plan to spend a few hours touring Auschwitz so that you can see everything there is to see here.
Take a Tour
One of the most informative ways to view Auschwitz is to take a guided tour that you can arrange at the museum when you first enter. There are tour guides who speak your language and who are able to share information that will make your tour more meaningful. You'll want to take comfortable walking shoes since you can only tour the facility on foot. It's also a good idea that if you want a more in-depth tour you return after your guided one so that you can experience the full emotional value of this tragic event in our history.
If you're visiting other locations in Poland make plans to take a day trip out to see Auschwitz. The Auschwitz Tours from Krakow for example will offer you an historic slant to your trip and will also help you to see how man can rise against man quite quickly in the whole scheme of things.
To fully understand your future you must be knowledgeable about your past and by taking a trip to Auschwitz you can become fully informed about what once happened to over one million men, women, and children.

Cooper's Quest: Working together for children of emergency service providers living with disabilities or medical conditions, by offering support and services to enhance quality of life.
Our goal in Cooper's Quest (a 501(c)(3)) is to bring together a community to raise funds to help Cooper and other terminally ill children of fire fighters, police, ems and other human services, living with genetic diseases in their battle for the best quality of life possible. We can only hope that a larger community can come together to participate in his ongoing legacy.
The strength of Cooper and his family is remarkable. Their desire to give Cooper all that is remotely possible in what is projected to be a short life motivates us to help them celebrate his life, promote his legacy, and continue to hope for a miracle.
Cooper Reid Wilson rocked peacefully away to a better place where he didn't have to fight GM1 on July 8th, 2009. We are saddened by this news, yet thankful for the time that Cooper had with us to teach us to live inside of each moment. To take our breath away as often as possible.
You will be missed Cooper. The Quest will continue on in your honor, it is your legacy.
Forever and always.

Some people seem to be born to be leaders. However, even if you have some features necessary to be a leader, people don't simply become great leaders overnight. They must be developed through ongoing learning and training opportunities. If you want to invest in your company's future through leadership training, here are a few key things to keep in mind.
Help them understand the difference between leading and managing.
If a leadership candidate seems more excited about being "the boss" who's in charge of others, they're probably not the best person for the job. Leadership is different from management. Leaders need to be interested in growing the skills of others, not just in delegating tasks or managing processes. Effective leadership coaching should include a focus on self-awareness and emotional intelligence, empathy, managing change, and the importance of mentoring others to be strong leaders.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, when I was a young account executive in a large ad agency, I was dispatched to DD's headquarters in Delhi with a clear brief: Convince them to accept our client's ad for their new show, or don't come back. (Well, in not so many words.) Those were days when there was only one big 'DiDi' (now there's Mamata as well), leaving no choice for harried advertisers. I must tell you I did manage to get the commercial on air, but after a lot of blood, sweat, tears (and other lovely things) happened. I had to plead with the safari suit clad babus to kindly accept my revenues! Of course, I was cursing about this monopolistic situation all the way back to Bombay. And wondering why must there be just one Hindi channel in India. And it took just one year after that incident for this to change. With the launch of India's first private Hindi channel.
It is in this context that I read mxmindia's spread on the eve of Zee TV completing 20 years. To me, it isn't about what Zee has managed or not managed to achieve in two decades, which has been a mixed bag, really. There are some things they did right and many others they did wrong. The channel has since been upstaged by more enterprising broadcasters, though TVRs for GECs is a game of Yoyo… today down, tomorrow up. So it would be incorrect to say Zee has been beaten. One good show or a big movie can get them buzzing again.
To me, it is the game-changer role played by Zee that is of immense significance. They took the risk, they experimented, they broke DD's monopoly, and they changed the desi skies forever. They were the pioneers, the trend setters, and their success led to other broadcasters getting interested in this game. However much Zee's fortunes have fluctuated over the years, no one can take this away from them. History will record Zee as the channel that started the real television revolution in India.
And yup, they also made sure unfortunate account executives didn't need to beg for their commercials to get air time. My DD story would sound incredible to young professionals today, because they are spoilt for choice. In fact, there are too many channels now, and it is their sales personnel who have to do the toiling to get the prized ad. And it's Zee that started it all.
PS: It is this sort of deadly international praise that has injected some energy into an otherwise comatose PM. Too little, too late. MMS is destined to go down in history as a tragedy king. Actress Meena Kumari finally has a soul mate.

publicdata.com is a great site for this kind of information. You will have to pay for a year subscription for the service. Can't remember the cost but it is not much. Now that you are going to be single, it is important to check out potential partners. Verify if they have a criminal past and also if they are telling you the truth about their marriage history. I have even helped my girlfriends out from making big mistakes. It is best to be informed.

Resentment continues in Jakarta after Indonesia's top military official was denied entry to the United States last weekend. Senior American officials have apologized but Indonesia demands a full explanation. We have more from Neal Conan in today's Pacific News Minute.
Last Saturday, as General Gatot Nurmantyo and his wife prepared to board a flight to Washington, he was informed that he had been barred from entry to the United States and would not be allowed to board the plane. General Gatot had both a valid visa and an invitation from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford. The U.S. embassy in Jakarta quickly apologized for what it described as a security screening glitch and arranged a new flight, but the General declined.
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis apologized to his Indonesian counterpart on the sidelines of an ASEAN meeting in the Philippines and Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said she had accepted official apologies from the U.S. Ambassador and his deputy but awaited a detailed explanation to - quote "find out what really happened." No clear answers have been forthcoming.
Shortly after the incident became public, anti-American signs appeared in Jakarta calling for the expulsion of the U.S. Ambassador and an editorial in the Jakarta Post denounced what it described as a diplomatic scandal.
General Gatot is known as a fervent nationalist who's expressed suspicions that both Australia and the United States covet Indonesia's natural resources. He's scheduled to retire next year and expected to run for President or Vice President in 2019.

Water-soaked lesions between the veins of leaves are a telltale symptom of this bacterial disease, which infects cucumbers, summer squash, and melons. Symptoms often first appear on the underside of leaves. As infected areas in the leaf die, the tissue becomes brittle and those leaf parts fall away, giving afflicted leaves a ragged appearance. Angular leaf spot lesions may exude a milky fluid that dries on leaf surfaces. In severe outbreaks, lesions may also develop on stems and fruit.
The bacterium overwinters in the soil on seeds and plant residues, and is spread by rain splash and wind. Angular leaf spot is especially prevalent in warm, humid climates.

Besides the 50th anniversary special feature-length film/episode 3-D thing, "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" immediately caught my attention when scanning episode titles before Series 7.5 premiered. Fans have been teased with the endlessness of the TARDIS since the beginning of Who, and though several rooms have been revealed in the past, "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" was an episode that promised to focus exclusively on the interior of the ship that has been a pillar of the show since 1963. Every fan of Doctor Who has their own preconceptions of what rooms the TARDIS holds – myself included – so naturally there was bound to be some disappointment involved. How could a television episode live up to that title? But before we get there, let's start at the beginning.
The Doctor begins the episode by commenting on the hostility between Clara and the TARDIS. This has been a recurring theme throughout the second half of Series 7, and one that will no doubt be connected to the fact that Clara keeps popping up in different times as different versions of herself. The TARDIS seems to react aggressively towards anything with an unnatural timeline, and Ms. Oswald would appear to fit the bill. In previous series, the Doctor's companion and the TARDIS have had little to no interaction. The fact that this is suddenly reversed is a compelling development. The Doctor is insistent that the two get along, and shuts the TARDIS down to "Basic Mode" so that Clara can fly it.
What piqued my curiosity about this scene was that Clara seemed able to pilot the TARDIS relatively well in the previous episode, "Hide." No, it was not River Song-level flying, but it was impressive nonetheless. So the fact that she suddenly needs training wheels is somewhat confusing. But I digress.
The crew of a passing scavenger spaceship notice the TARDIS on their radar and reel it in with a magnetic tractor beam, hoping for loot. This seems to cause the TARDIS to go haywire. Amidst the mechanical havoc around her, Clara notices an egg-shaped metal object rolling across the floor and bends to pick it up – then drops it almost immediately as if burned. The console room shakes and then goes dark.
"Please tell me there's a button you can press to fix this!"
"Oh, yes, a big friendly button!"

Having seen a gazillion beautiful Instagram photos of lavender fields over the past year, I was super excited yesterday when I finally made it to one myself!
Whizzing out to Kent with my friend Cath on a slightly gloomy Wednesday afternoon, we manoeuvred the car past tractors and other vehicles on a tiny country lane, before pulling into the carpark at Castle Farm and booking into the final lavender fields tour of the day.
The tour costs £6 and lasts around 1.5 hours. In that time you're taken on a walk around the farm, to see where the lavender is manufactured into oils and other things, and following a talk you're let loose in a lavender field to take photos.
To be honest, I have never been the best listener when it comes to learning! I'm one of those daydreaming types, so I'm definitely not here to fill you in on all the lavender facts I learnt. I was too busy gazing out at the lavender fields wondering where was the best spot for photos. #instagramproblems
As it happens, we kinda messed up. The tour guide let everyone into the fields after his talk, and we thought we could return later on to snap some pictures without tourists showing up in the background. It turns out that was not the case, and by that stage we literally had two minutes to take a few shots. So we took just a few, but on the bright side, I'll be much more prepared next year when I plan to return!
There are a few different lavender fields outside of London, if you jump on Google you'll find them! They will be harvested within the next couple of weeks, so if you're planning a trip, make it snappy, and jump around in the fields with your camera as soon as you get the chance.

The chief executive of US Airways Group warned the U.S. airline industry is heading into a downturn as it grapples with record high oil prices and a weakening economy.
"Our industry is in a mess, if you haven't noticed," said chief executive Doug Parker, speaking at the No. 5 airline's headquarters near Phoenix. "We're about to head into what looks like another downturn."
The grim assessment summed up Wall Street sentiment. The Amex airline index fell more than 3.5 percent, and US Airways shares dropped about 5 percent.
The prospect that a wave of mergers would help stabilize the volatile industry, which emerged from a five-year slump in 2006, dimmed earlier this week.
Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Richard Anderson sent a memo to employees on Tuesday cooling expectations that a deal with Northwest Airlines was around the corner.
Delta and Northwest have been reported as being close to a deal, but the talks have snagged as pilots as the two carriers have been unable to agree on a plan to integrate seniority lists.
US Airways was formed in 2005 by the merger of bankrupt US Airways and America West Airlines. Parker, who led a failed effort last year to acquire Delta, remains a strong proponent of industry consolidation.
But he said mergers need to eliminate excess capacity, which causes airlines to lose money on many tickets.
"Capacity has to be rationalized,'' said Parker. "Not doing that in an industry that has too much capacity is a concern.''
US Airways boasts that its merger has been a success.
Still, it has yet to fully integrate the unionized labor groups at the two airlines, and unions demonstrated outside the airline's headquarters Thursday, alongside a 30-foot rat meant to symbolize US Airways' management.
But Parker was unfazed. He said management needs to be tough in order to carry out a merger.
"You've got to make some hard decisions, and you've got to get on with it,'' said Parker.

The South Carolina Roots of African American Thought
A Reader
Edited by Rhondda Robinson Thomas and Susanna Ashton
Writings by prominent and influential black South Carolinians who sparked change in a nation
South Carolina has always loomed larger in the national imagination, particularly in terms of political and social policy, than its size and population might justify. The audacity and the often astonishing character of thinkers and political figures who have hailed from this region might suggest that climate affects personality. Edward Rutledge challenged the condemnation of the slave trade in the initial draft of the Declaration of Independence; John C. Calhoun penned the audacious philosophy of state nullification; Citadel cadets fired shots at Fort Sumter; and Senator Strom Thurmond defended racial segregation with the longest filibuster in Senate history. South Carolina has always used its passion to influence national debate.
Rhondda Robinson Thomas and Susanna Ashton seek in this collection to remedy the singularly narrow way in which South Carolina's intellectual character has been defined in the popular imagination. Thomas and Ashton document an equally important tradition that parallels that of white radical thought. Through this anthology they reveal a tradition of national prominence and influence of black intellectuals, educators, journalists, and policy analysts from South Carolina. These native and adopted citizens mined their experiences to shape their thinking about the state and the nation. Francis Grimké, Daniel Payne, Mary McLeod Bethune, Kelly Miller, Septima Clark, Benjamin Mays, Marian Wright Edelman, and Jesse Jackson have changed this nation for the better with their questions, challenges, and persistence—all in the proudest South Carolinian tradition.
In The South Carolina Roots of African American Thought, each of the nineteen authors is introduced with a supplementary scholarly essay to illustrate the cultural and historical import of their works and to demonstrate how they draw on and distinguish themselves from one another. These connections exhibit a coherent legacy of engagement, brought on and nurtured by South Carolina traditions.
Rhondda Robinson Thomas, an assistant professor of English at Clemson University, is the author of Exodus: A Cultural History of Afro-Atlantic Identity, 1774–1903 and the editor of Jane Edna Hunter's autobiography, A Nickel and a Prayer.
Susanna Ashton is a professor of English at Clemson University and the author of Collaborators in Literary America, coeditor of These "Colored" United States: African American Essays of the 1920s, and editor of I Belong to South Carolina: South Carolina Slave Narratives, a Choice magazine Outstanding Academic Title for 2010.
"I enthusiastically recommend this creatively assembled and much-needed anthology. Ranging from the antebellum period to our present moment, the collection makes a strong case that South Carolina helped to inspire distinctive traditions of African American writing. Thomas and Ashton do an expert job of annotating and framing the fascinating selections in their volume."—Robert S. Levine, Distinguished University Professor of English, University of Maryland
"An intellectually rich, politically instructive, and often spiritually inspiring volume, The South Carolina Roots of African American Thought interweaves strands of cultural, political, and socioeconomic thought into an anthology of unusual historical breadth and depth. Specialists and general readers alike will be grateful for this volume."—William L. Andrews, E. Maynard Adams Professor, Department of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill
"Thomas and Ashton offer an extensive examination of the profound questions of race, personal identity, and public policy in America. These selected texts by renowned African American scholars, writers, activists, and public intellectuals of the past and present, marshal an impressive knowledge, and their analyses are wide ranging and deep. These key interpretive and explanatory essays present an extraordinary contribution to historical understanding and add fresh perspectives to the study of slavery and abolition, segregation, the civil rights movement, education policy, and current issues today."—Orville Vernon Burton, professor of history, Clemson University, and author of In My Father's House Are Many Mansions: Family and Community in Edgefield, South Carolina and The Age of Lincoln
"This superb collection captures both the range and the richness of the African American intellectual tradition. Defying neat categorization, it serves as a signal reminder that all of South Carolina's most iconic thinkers and writers have long engaged each other across chasms of race, gender, and class. Indeed, the presence of these contesting voices further illuminates the Palmetto State's importance in key national debates over freedom, equality, and full citizenship."— Katherine Mellen Charron, associate professor, Department of History, North Carolina State University, author of Freedom's Teacher: The Life of Septima Clark
"The South Carolina Roots of African American Thought is a fresh, informative addition to the story of African Americans in the south, most especially South Carolina. The book adds not only to our knowledge about southern history, but also to the field of American history. It gives the reader the historical and cultural context of African American lives and should be an essential resource for the classroom teacher who uses primary source materials."—Frances Jones-Sneed, professor of history, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts
"The South Carolina Roots of African American Thought includes a varied selection of letters, autobiographical excerpts and speeches, an engrossing introduction and thorough and lively scholarly pieces that accompany each of the selections. Compelling and accessible, this book highlights the extraordinary contributions and critiques made my some of the most well-known Black thinkers of the last 150 years."—P. Gabrielle Foreman, Ned B. Allen Professor of English and Professor of Black Studies, University of Delaware

Sport can sometimes be the best teacher. Lessons are learned that can be greatly beneficial in life that sometimes help aid even the most difficult of situations for athletes. However, for Great Britain's Ben Dijkstra, that lesson is a little bit simpler, yet has proven to be just as life-changing:
"I learned to never put my sunglasses on my head in the last 10 metres of a race ever again or have any confusion in the transition zone."
In 2014, Dijkstra was awarded the gold medal at the Youth Olympic Games hosted in Nanjing, China. A gold medal that was earned even after a 23-second deficit out of the swim, a bike rack confusion in the second transition, an almost penalty and a closer-than-ever photo finish. And while the victory came with the added bonus of drama and excitement, the experience was one that the 17-year old would relive over and over again.
A native of Loughborough, England, Dijkstra grew up with a strong running background. Drawn to long distance and cross country racing, he saw success at an early age, winning multiple competitions starting at just eight years old. And as if he was foreshadowing the important role that sunglasses would mean to him just eight years later in Nanjing, Dijkstra used to race with his lucky sunglasses, which he believed was the reason he was undefeated in his first three races.
A few years later, Dijkstra decided he wanted to try a new challenge. Frequently he would go mountain biking around nearby trails with his father, so it dawned on him that he should attempt a new sport that would combine the two – triathlon.
"I used to cycle with my dad on some trails near home, so I thought if I could just get through the swim then I thought I would be able to enjoy myself on the bike and the run. So I did my first triathlon, it was a local one. The whole atmosphere from that one race, I was just hooked straight away. I absolutely loved it, I did three triathlons that year," said Dijkstra.
Since he was an experienced runner, Dijkstra was lucky to already have a phenomenal running coach, the same coach that introduced him to competing when he was just in primary school. It was his swim that needed the most work. When starting out in the sport, he would swim a 300-metre distance in just over six minutes. But now he has improved to swimming over 500 metres in the same time, a massive jump and personal accomplishment for the Brit. Ben accredits his improvement to help from coaches and focusing on his technique in the water.
And while Dijkstra wishes he could train harder to shave more time off of his swim, he is still just a 17-year old currently in year 12 of secondary school working on his AS levels and attempting to still be a normal teenager that enjoys a social life. The balancing act of schooling and training keeps him busy, so on most days when he gets some time off, relaxing with friends or getting some much needed sleep is where you will find Dijkstra. Otherwise before and after school is when the training occurs. Luckily for Dikjstra, however, living in Loughborough has the perks of being surrounded by triathlon talent that makes the training that much easier.
"I swim with the squad here and I ride with them just when I have a bit more time and am able to accommodate my school work. Triathlon is quite big here where I am based. It is really great to be able to have some of the top athletes such as Sophie Coldwell and Matt Sharp to train with because you push yourself and are able to maximize your training, so I am really blessed to be able to live in such a privileged position."
All of the hard work and long training hours all paid off in 2014, when Dijkstra's career took a breakthrough turn. He was able to compete in his first international competition, race his first sprint distance course and represent his country of Great Britain for the first time. He was also competed at the summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing.
Commenting on his experience in China he said, "It was incredible. When I was there I absolutely loved every single second of it, I can't stress that more. Now that I have had a little bit of time after Nanjing I have learned to really appreciate how important the experience of a Major Games is. It was just a once in a lifetime opportunity."
"I also made some really good friends that I am still friends with today. These relationships are also really important because as we all move up we are all very similar in age so we are all going to move up at the same time so we will be able to race against each other."
Winning the gold medal was also a huge reason why Nanjing will always be so memorable for Dijkstra. His performance during the race will forever be just as memorable for those who witnessed it. Competing as the youngest man on the start list, from start to finish the race was nothing short of unpredictable. Coming off the swim, he had nearly a half-minute deficit. While he was able to push hard on the bike, a series of mishaps almost cost him his title.
"On the video it showed me doing a 360 degree-turn so I guess you could say I was perfecting my pirouette," Dijkstra said of his spout of confusion in the second transition that caused some crucial time to pass by.
Then during the run his Dad shouted at him that he had a penalty because his bike had fallen over in the transition area. Fortunately for Dijkstra the penalty was eventually dismissed. Leaving it to the run, the young Brit mustered all his speed to pull even with Daniel Hoy (NZL). The two went stride for stride until the last metres. Dijkstra thought he pushed enough gas at the end to create a gap big enough that allowed him to lift up a bit, pull his sunglasses off and start to celebrate. It wasn't until Hoy came through that judges realized that the two were so neck and neck that the winner would need to be decided by a photo finish.
Ultimately, Dijkstra was a fraction closer and was awarded the Youth Olympic crown.
After recalling the sprint at the end of the race he said, "It was probably the most pain I have ever been in because I wanted that medal so badly. But the win really hit me when I got back to accommodation, I just sat down and could not stop smiling for about an hour, I was absolutely buzzing!"
The Nanjing win was then just the beginning for Dijkstra. Along with his individual medal, he also won the gold as a part of the winning team in the Mixed Relay in Nanjing and then went on to take the bronze at the ETU European Championships in Geneva for men's juniors this year.
And he doesn't plan to stop there. With a full race schedule planned for 2016, Dijkstra wants to keep the motivation he gained from Nanjing to continue advancing in his career.
"I want to have a long professional career, right on top of that I would say Olympics and World Champs are my goals. Short term for this year at least I hope to medal again, hopefully the gold, in European Champs and then move on to Cozumel and see if I can medal there, I know I am only a second year Junior but let's see what can happen there. If I am in good shape, then anything can happen there."
No matter what is in store for the young British talent, the memories of a Major Games will always stay with him. Whether it is teaching him how to not celebrate too early or just to always cherish opportunities that the sport offers.
"I would do the whole experience over again. I still have the bike that I raced with in Nanjing, I hung it up in my room."

The bunker-like space on the ground floor of a condo building on Tennyson Street wasn't very lucky for former tenants. Tastes Wine Bar lasted five years in the spot, but fizzled along with then-owner Daniel Kuhlman's short-lived Wild Catch on East 17th Avenue, while the art bar that took its place barely registered on the neighborhood's radar. Now new owners with a modernized concept have moved into the space, quietly opening Berkeley Untapped on July 11 with a carefully chosen list of craft beers, small-batch whiskeys and wines by the bottle or glass.
See also: Review: El Chingon's chiles rellenos have a soft landing on Tennyson Street
Owners Rachael and Jay Bombalicki say the turnaround was quick; they took possession and had the place up and running in two weeks. Jay Bombalicki credits the fast opening to a turnkey lease and a ton of hard work from friends and family, including wooden tasting boards made by Rachael's step-dad. Since the building's HOA prohibits a fully vented kitchen in the retail space, the Bombalickis concentrated instead on updating the bar and seating area, adding a multi-tap beer-dispensing set-up with an industrial look that they found on Etsy, a new wooden bar top salvaged from an antique truck bed, and a few other reclaimed wood flourishes.
This is the pair's first foray into the food and beverage industry, but Jay seems comfortable behind the bar, talking knowledgeably about the beers and whiskeys on the menu. They moved here three years ago from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with plans to continue their careers -- his as a firefighter and hers as a physical therapist. But an arm injury and ensuing infection almost cost Jay his life -- and definitely derailed his career plans. He still works part-time as a paramedic, but once he recovered from multiple surgeries to remove the infection and repair the damage to his joint, he turned his attention to opening a bar.
Rachael still works during the day and is involved in fundraising efforts for charitable organizations (her focus during her post-graduate studies). This spills over into one of the bar's themes: a percentage of each purchase goes toward one of three charitable organizations. When you buy a drink, you receive a token that you can drop in a box labeled with an organization's name. Brochures are also available in case you're not familiar with a specific charity's goals. The Bombalickis love the neighborhood and its history; the bar's logo even features an image of one of the trolleys that were once part of Berkeley's charm. And they're thrilled to add their bar's low-key but warm and friendly presence to the growing scene along Tennyson, an area that Rachael says was once known at "the town north of Denver." Since the bar has no real kitchen space (small meat and cheese plates are currently being offered), she says they're inviting guests to bring in food from local restaurants to help build community spirit.
Jay and his bartender are keeping the beer taps rotating, looking for new and interesting beers from Colorado and across the U.S. One tap, though, will always be reserved for one of their favorites: Black Shirt Brewing. They have also been working with Small Batch Liquors up the street to showcase regional whiskeys at the liquor store and at Berkeley Untapped.

Musa itinerans, known also as Yunnan banana, is a close relative to both banana progenitors with wide distribution across subtropical China. It is native to south-east Asia and can be found in moist ravines to mountainous areas. In China, it is usually found in secondary tropical rainforests. It grows fast and can produce long rhizome with sucker emerging more than 2 meters from the mother plant, explaining its name origin.
Interestingly, It was shown as one of the most Foc-TR4 resistant and cold tolerant species in the Musa genus, providing valuable resource for the disease resistance and hardiness improvement in banan... [more]
The selected accession, named 'Banksii' belongs to the subspecies of Musa acuminata spp. banksii native to south-east Asia in Papua New Guinea. Banksii-derived cultivars played a major role in the development of several important diploid and triploid cultivar groups that are now widely dispersed.

The selected accession, named Calcutta 4 belongs to the subspecies of Musa acuminata burmannica native to south-east Asia. According to MusaPedia, the accession would have been grown at the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA) field collection in the West Indies from a sample of seeds received in 1931 from the Calcutta botanical garden. According to Ernest E. Cheesman, who was working at the ICTA at the time, the material originally came from Burma (today's Myanmar)
Calcutta 4 has been used extensively in breeding because of its resistance to black leaf streak. It is also resistant to sigatoka leaf spot, several races... [more]
Musa schizocarpa 'Schizocarpa' (doi:10.18730/9KW4W) (2n=22) is a wild species of banana native from New Guinea Island. The genetic signature of the species has been found in some banana cultivars

Horror/Thriller Movie Review
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Starring Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Tippi Hedren, Melanie Daniels, Veronica Cartwright
Review by Steven Painter
A wealthy San Francisco playgirl pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people there in increasing numbers and with increasing viciousness.
In 1960 Alfred Hitchcock revolutionized the way movies were watched with Psycho. Three years later he would pioneer special effects techniques that were ahead of their time in The Birds (1963). Although the special effects look dated now, at the time they sent chills down audiences.
Daphne Du Maurier wrote a short story about a ton of birds attacking and eliminating human kind. Seems pretty unbelievable right?…

Photography: Juliette Carton
You know the feels. Killer band tee. But how to wear it out?
Black Sabbath man, as if it's the final ever tour. To be fair though, I get it. Those dudes are old now! We saw them last Summer at Download Fest and honestly it was jokes from start to finish. Ozzy's on stage banter ranges from 'bloody pissin' down aint it' to 'err you alright out there yeah' and the songs sound just like they did on the record – unfiltered, raw, and full of riffs. We had fun, despite the fact we were getting rained on, and it was amazing to see them live in my lifetime.
I digress, but I saw this vintage looking Sabbath long sleeve on ASOS, pretty sure that Lily, Helen and I all bought it without knowing on the exact same day, and I loved it. My only problem was, I felt it looked a bit too un-shapely on my body, and I went about styling it up to make it more style friendly.
So i've layered a different texture dress underneath.
I think an easy way to make an oversized band tee – especially one that's long sleeved – look good pretty effortlessly is to layer it up with different textures. It was absolutely freezing when Juliette and I shot these photos, i'm pretty sure you can see it in my face. When it's -2 degrees out like it was here, you want as many layers as you can get. So underneath my Sabbath top is a long sleeve Missguided black dress, with a lace hem. Lace is a great way to make something that looks a little boyish, look more feminine. Don't get me wrong, i'll wear this top with my jeans or to slouch in, but if you're heading out or just want to wear it differently, mixing in a bit of lace will give it that pop of texture that works a charm.
Back at it with ASOS Reclaimed Vintage again.
Yup I can't resist the stuff. Told you! I do have bad news for you though, the Sabbath long sleeve i'm wearing in this post has gone from ASOS Reclaimed Vintage now, but they always have similar stuff so it's worth keeping an eye on anyway. Also you can get awesome band tees from loads of merch stores, I often try and shop at the actual bands webstore so hopefully most of the profit does go to them! I know that BMTH and also Don Broco both have awesome long sleeve tops just like this one on their merch stores at the moment too if they're your kinda bag!
I also think another easy way to dress up an outfit is in the shoes.
I got these amazing little bad boys from Pretty Little Thing, but they're also sold out in this colour way. There's so many dupes kicking around though that it wouldn't be hard to find some similar. I found some from Missguided which I linked in the little widget above, and they look like a good dupe! These ones are so comfy though, and even though I was scared of the bright oxblood red colour at first, I love them now. I think they look so fun when paired with darker colours for a little pop of tone. They're something a little out of my comfort zone, but i'm really glad I tried them! I'm obsessed. I can also confirm, I got them fully wet and they were totally fine after they dried out!
Hopefully the last of the cold snap has passed now.
A couple of weeks ago when we shot these it was honestly brutal outside. It's horrible when you're going out and you know you want to look nice but you don't also want to freeze to death as well. I think this outfit layering combo is a pretty good shout for evenings when it's freezing, but personally i'd wear it to a gig or to a party anyway! I did originally want to wear it with fishnet tights as that was another texture that would really bring this outfit to life, same as the lace I mentioned earlier, but I just could not bear it in the cold! Primark extra cosy tights it was instead i'm afraid! But picture it with fishnets and I bet it looked cool!
I really think there are so many great and fun ways to style up a band tee that aren't just the normal way. Definitely don't be afraid to layer it over or under other dresses, or tucked in skirts too. I have another little dress tip for short sleeve band tees, so when the weather gets a bit warmer i'll share that with you too!
Let me know what you think of this outfit and if you would wear it too! I love these photos that Juliette took for me, we shot them at that little football ground opposite Shoreditch High Street station. Something totally different to offset the outfit! I'd love to know your thoughts so do leave me a comment down below.

Lovely to have something where you know the ingredients are wholesome. I would say edible, but I'm not sre that my planned addition of lavender oil in place of vanilla extract would qualify.ReplyDelete

I'd love to try this, thanks for sharing!
I will have to try this! Would this soak into your skin and wouldn't you get a sugar buzz? LOL! I could always us a sugar buzz.ReplyDelete

Nope, never tried, although I do mix the ends of lotions together.ReplyDelete
That looks like something even I could do! Thanks for the instructions!ReplyDelete
I haven't really made scrubs or lotions, but I have made salves (so pretty close). This looks like a fun project, though.ReplyDelete
i really want this...thanks 4 instructionsReplyDelete
I think I tried to make one out of oatmeal, sugar and lavender before - all I remember of it is it went into a thick porridgey mess :/ReplyDelete
I've never made my own scrub or lotion or anything like that before, but I really should! Love your packaging, btw :)ReplyDelete
I've never tried to make a body scrub before. I will now. Thanks for sharing. Sounds good.ReplyDelete

Scrumptious! Be sure I am not going to give this away as a gift when I make it!ReplyDelete
I use a sugar scrub for my hands and love it!!! Helps soothe the winter hands!ReplyDelete
That is SUPER simple! I actually used to just use sugar and scrub my body with it because someone who sugared (like waxing) my eyebrows once told me it helps prevent ingrown hairs (which it does for me). This would probably be a lot nicer than having a bag of shower in my bathroom though haha.ReplyDelete
Would make a great gift...ReplyDelete
Scrubbing gets rid of excess dead skinReplyDelete
Will try this one! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
I love natural body scrubs, and vanilla is my favorite scent! :)ReplyDelete
