A brunette on my right
A blonde or two to hold the candles
Now that seems just about right, eh, Louis?"
A common Establishing Character Moment. A man walks into a room, arms intertwined with those of two conventionally attractive ladies, displaying them as trophies to show what a badass stud he is. Conversely, the ladies may get on his arms mid-scene just to imply that everything's goin' pimpin'. Very commonly, the women won't have names (or, if the trope is Played for Laughs, the guy simply can't remember their names and refers to them with a wide range of incorrect names), nor will they say anything: they're just there to act as props for the male character. If they do get to speak, it'll probably only be to imply that theyre going to have sex with the man later. It is he who decides what theyre going to do and where they're going to go, while the ladies just follow around and agree with everything the stud says. After all, men are defined by their actions and women by their passiveness. "A lady on each leg" is a variant of this trope that takes place when the man is sitting down, with the women at his feet. Or perhaps even one sitting on each knee.
The man in question is almost always a Hunk (handsome and manly), and at the same time a Casanova. He likely engages in sexual activities out of the blue, making him a Pornomancer, and very often the ladies follow him around because he's well endowed in the penis department. If he's accompanied by more than two women, then it would be a case of Sexy Man, Instant Harem. In promotional posters and artwork, the ladies are commonly found clinging to his feet. If the story is set in high school or college, then he'll probably be the Big Man on Campus.
Not to be confused with Lover Tug-of-War, where two women are physically fighting over a man. On the contrary, the ladies of A Lady on Each Arm are passive to the point where they accept the fact that the man has other women for him as well.
Due to gender double standards, this trope almost always applies to men, given that women are usually shamed for having multiple sexual partners (or even just one). On a further note, this trope almost exclusively applies to straight men, given that queer people that enjoy and fully explore their sexuality are usually villainized in media. Straight men, on the other hand, get to be badasses for having an active sex life and being in control of their surroundings. The man in question will also probably be white, since men of color with multiple partners very often come off as perverts in media.
The Japanese call this trope also "a flower in each hand" (両手に花, "ryoute ni hana").

- Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
- In one of the earlier seasons, Xander enlists Buffy and Willow to fake this with him. He's trying to make Cordelia jealous. They play along.
- Later, the recurring Buffy character Andrew turns up on Angel with a woman on each arm. Since he'd been heavily implied to be gay in the past, some fans found this annoying. There have been two different explanations given for this change: Joss has blamed it on last-minute changes to the episode, saying it was supposed to be Dawn with a gender-swapped version of this trope, and the other story was that it was originally supposed to be a larger group of men and women meeting Andrew, meant to give a general impression of beauty to contrast with Andrew's earlier characterization as a social outcast, that was shrunk to just two women due to a misreading of the script.

- Jessica Jones (2015): Subverted, when the title character first meets Kilgrave, the Season One Big Bad. The two women are with him not because Evil Is Sexy but because of his Compelling Voice. He immediately dismisses them having laid eyes on Jessica, and things quickly go From Bad to Worse.

- Art of Fighting: This became Mr. Big's standard pre-fight animation, from King of Fighters '96 onward, which is the reason gamers believe that one of his syndicate's operations is prostitution.
- Jansen Friedh of Lost Odyssey. After being assigned to a mission with Kaim and Seth, he decides to show up late, drunk, and surrounded by three different women. It. Is. Hilarious.
- Rob Python, the Boxing Casanova of Buriki One as seen in this official artwork◊.
- Granblue Fantasy seems to parody this with Yngwie, whose first two portraits have him in armour and a combat pose...but his third one has him in tourist-like attire and a harem on each arm. He's also mentioned in an event to have had thousands of sexual partners. Unusually for this trope, he has darker skin than most characters.

The two girls giggle, thinking Flash to be cute and funny.
- Daria: In a Rare Female Example, Quinn often goes to dances and parties with multiple dates.
- Another female example comes from Rainbow Dash in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode 'Sonic Rainboom', where Dash caps off an already awesome day by flying off into the sunset with a stallion on each foreleg and declaring that "I've got plans!"
- At an earlier episode of American Dragon: Jake Long, Jake needed a date and Fu took him to Magus Bazaar to look for one. Guess what Jake had in mind when Fu introduced him to Sara and Kara.
- Riot from Jem often does this with his bandmates Minx and Rapture (such as in the first music video to "Take It Or Leave It"). Unusually, their relationship is completely platonic. Word of God is that there is no attraction between the three.

'Tis the season to find a random patch of rhubarb growing in your next door neighbor's backyard. Don't be shy; ask him if he plans to use it. If the answer is no, chop it down and make something that tastes precisely like the beginning of summer. I tend towards simpler preparations of rhubarb: the ones that let its tangy, uniquely rhubarbian flavor shine through. The stewed compote I made is scented with vanilla, orange zest, and a touch of cinnamon with just enough maple syrup to take off the pucker-inducing edge. You may like more sweetener, in which case, add it!
I like this compote best swirled into full fat, plain yogurt. The tanginess of both ingredients play well together, and the creaminess of the yogurt tempers the hint of bitterness in the 'barb while playing up the sweeter notes of maple and spice. This morning I dolloped both on top of a steaming stack of coconut flour pancakes and declared a breakfast miracle worthy of sharing. I didn't want to be too greedy with the free rhubarb, so I only took about 6 stalks. This recipe could easily be doubled or tripled to accommodate a larger rhubarb haul.
Maple Vanilla Rhubarb Compote
makes about 2 small jelly jars full
2 cups rhubarb stalks, rinsed and chopped into 1/4 inch pieces 3 tablespoons maple syrup zest and juice from 1 medium orange 1 teaspoon vanilla extract dash of cinnamon dash of salt Method:
Combine all ingredients in a heavy bottomed skilled or saucepan. Heat mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb begins to break down and become soft, about ten minutes. Taste compote and add more sweetener if desired.
Allow to cool slightly and pour into jars. Keep refrigerated for up to three weeks. Enjoy over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream or straight from the jar. Lip-smacking summer goodness.

A simple solution for slow over rates in test cricket – play more!
With glorious test cricket back after a glut of ODIs and T20 games, there is an ongoing debate around the slow over rates in test cricket and how the issue should be addressed. However, as a spectator I feel short changed.
Yes, let's insist on teams bowling their minimum overs number of overs in a day. And since there is the option to extend play by up to 30 minutes extra at the end of each day, why not just make a normal day of test cricket last 30 minutes longer? It's not as if everyone shuts shop and goes home after 6 hours of play anymore. With the exception of games in the sub-continent and in the Caribbean where spinners play a huge role, most games call for the extra time available.. so let's just use it!

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced, in coordination with the State Department, the implementation of visa sanctions on Myanmar and Laos due to "lack of cooperation" in accepting their citizens who have been ordered removed from the United States, reports UNB.
As of July 9, the US Embassy in Yangon has discontinued the issuance of all B1 and B2 nonimmigrant visas for current officials at the Director General level and above from the Myanmar's Ministries of Labor, Immigration, and Population (MOLIP) and Home Affairs (MOHA), and their immediate family members, with limited exceptions.
The Department of State may change the covered visa applicants or visa categories at any time, said a statement.
Visa suspensions may include any categories of visa or visa applicants, as determined by the Department Pursuant to her authority under Section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M Nielsen notified Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the governments of Myanmar and Laos have denied or unreasonably delayed accepting their nationals ordered removed from the United States.
As a result, Secretary Pompeo has ordered consular officers in Myanmar and Laos to implement visa restrictions on certain categories of visa applicants. Without an appropriate response from Myanmar and Laos, the scope of these sanctions may be expanded to a wider population.
The suspension will remain in place until the Secretary Nielsen notifies Secretary Pompeo that cooperation on removals has improved to an acceptable level.
The decision to sanction a recalcitrant country is not taken lightly.
The DHS makes significant efforts, in collaboration with the State Department, to encourage countries to accept the prompt, lawful return of their nationals who are subject to removal from the United States.
Those efforts include diplomatic communications at the highest level of government.
As a general matter, recalcitrant countries who refuse to issue travel documents render meaningless the United States' entire removal process as enacted by Congress in the INA, and such countries also fail to meet their international treaty obligations to take back their nationals who have been ordered removed.
Further, based on the Supreme Court's decision in Zadvydas v. Davis, with narrow exceptions, aliens with final orders of removal, including aliens determined to pose a threat to the community or considered a flight risk, may not be detained beyond a presumptively reasonable period of six months if there is no "significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future."
When recalcitrant countries like Myanmar and Laos delay or refuse to issue travel documents to their nationals or refuse to accept their nationals within this time period, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may be required to release dangerous criminals into communities across the United States.
Ultimately, without a travel document issued by an alien's home country to confirm identity and nationality, ICE cannot complete the removal process of most aliens, with very limited exceptions.
Myanmar and Laos have not established repeatable processes for issuing travel documents to their nationals ordered removed from the United States. For this reason, ICE has been required to release Myanmar and Lao nationals into the United States.

The Providence Police Honor Guard, originally called the Color Guard, was founded in 1946. This unit was organized to represent the Providence Police Department and was comprised of a group of World War II veterans. The purpose of this unit was and still is to represent the Police Department veterans at various functions and parades.
In the late 1980s, Captain John Glancy, after a trip to Washington D.C., was inspired by other departments who had adopted a more formal dress code. When Captain Glancy returned from Washington D.C., he changed the uniform to what is presently worn by our officers today. The uniform currently worn is a dress blue blouse, boots, breeches, and two types of ceremonial lanyards. One lanyard is used for parades and ceremonies, while the second lanyard is used for funerals and memorials. The twelve member Color Guard, with its new look, also changed its title from the Color Guard to the Honor Guard.
Originally, the unit's main function was to march in parades. This would change on Thursday, February 3, 1994, the day Sergeant Steven Shaw was killed in the Line of Duty. The Honor Guard went from doing mostly ceremonial events to now laying a brother officer to rest.
Today, the nine-officer unit represents this historical capital city at parades around the state and country. At the Aquidneck Island National Police Parade, the Providence Police Department Honor Guard won first place among Honor Guards represented.
The Honor Guard also participates in somber occasions, such as funerals and memorials, to celebrations such as promotional ceremonies, swearing-in ceremonies, and community events. The Honor Guard recently traveled to Washington D.C. upon the invitation by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial for Sergeant Maxwell Robert Dorley's name inclusion to the memorial in Washington D.C. His name was formally dedicated on May 13, 2013, at the 25th Annual Candlelight Vigil during National Police Week. The Honor Guard participated in VIP/ Surviving Family Escorts, Honor Cord around Reflecting Pool, Wreath Vigil, and State flag bearer during Standing Watch for the Fallen Ceremony, Ceremonial Stage Backdrop during the Candlelight Vigil, and Memorial Services at the U.S. Capitol.
The Providence Police Department Honor Guard proudly represents this department to present day under the command of Lieutenant Luis San Lucas.

Accelerated Yield Technology (AYT™) System
A matrix of breeding technologies
The AYT™ system is a key part of a comprehensive plan to accelerate yield gain and broaden resistance to key diseases and insects by novel trait integration through our proprietary gene mapping, molecular breeding technologies and field testing protocols.
Pioneer has led the way in developing proprietary marker-assisted selection processes, most notably to protect soybean yield from harmful pests such as soybean cyst nematode, Phytophthora root rot, brown stem rot, sudden death syndrome and frogeye leaf spot.
In addition to employing molecular breeding technologies to protect yield, AYT marker technologies are now being used to boost the genetic yield potential of Y Series soybeans as well.
Using markers to select for yield
The AYT process starts with Pioneer researchers mining and analyzing their vast germplasm database to identify native genes associated with high yields.
Using molecular markers and patented molecular breeding techniques, plant scientists are able to track and select native genes associated with increased yields … and stack these genes in elite Pioneer varietal lines.
These breakthroughs, using non-transgenic biotechnologies, allow Pioneer researchers to quickly and efficiently "design" varieties carrying these yield-enhancing genes.
|Blue markers with upper case letters symbolize genes associated with higher yields. Pioneer plant scientists, using proprietary AYT molecular breeding processes, combine the two parents to produce a progeny line that contains all six yield genes.

Dr. Wong's Book:
Heroes Need Not Apply
How to build a patient accountable culture without putting more on your plate
Everyone in healthcare knows that the lack of accountability negatively impacts care, and when accountability improves throughout your organization, care improves. What healthcare leaders don't know, is how to improve accountability and why it so critically links to improving patient care.
Heroes Need Not Apply not only eliminates the accountability dilemma, it provides the tools and approach healthcare leaders, physicians and nurses need to most impact patient care. And it does it without adding more initiatives or any extra work to their already full plates.
Based on true experiences during his twenty years of consulting with healthcare executives, Dr. Wong's Angels of Seattle hospital welcomes readers into a patient accountable culture in action. We'll witness his real as life characters step into the roles needed to define and attain accountability, and give patients what they need the most.

|Silent as a stone, while letting your voice heal
I once had it so bad, and it hurt to make any attempt to talk, that I communicated with notes instead. My family got used to it, and I came up with some shorthand, because it takes a lot longer to write than speak. During this period it struck me how much I didn't need to say, and that I generally talk WAY more than I need to. In time, with the imposed silence, I came to terms with the quiet and calm of slowing down, and my voice did eventually come back. (along with my loquaciousness...)
Last week my blog subject was "Back to School". The link I'd like to share with you today, below, is all about keeping your voice strong and healthy throughout the school year. Whatever your venue for talking is, I invite you to join me in trying each of the 5 tips given. Your vocal muscles will thank you!

Benefits of cashless transactions through network garages.
My Bajaj bike insurance has already expired. Is vehicle inspection mandatory?
Yes it is mandatory- Fix up an appointment for the inspection of your Bajaj bike. Do note; this can invite a nominal fee. If the insurance company chooses to offer you the coverage, you can make the payment and get the policy in hand. However, if you are lucky enough, inspection may not be mandatory.
How does NCB work in case I buy a second-hand bike? Will I get No-Claim Bonus?
As a new owner it's your obligation to get the existing two-wheeler insurance transferred in your name within the specified period from the date of transfer of RC. If you fail to do so and if you require raising a claim, the same will not be honored. For a favorable claim, the title on the RC of the two-wheeler and the insurance documents has to match. Also, please understand that the current owner can carry forward his existing No Claim Bonus (NCB) with him. He can use it to seek the premium discount if he purchases a new bike in future. Likewise, as a new owner, you will have to earn this bonus with each claim-free year. You can win a maximum of 50% discount on your own-damage premium with NCB.
Is an online policy valid?
Yes-an online policy is very much valid. You can also renew your Bajaj bike insurance policy with a debit/credit biked or even through net banking. Although, for expired policies you will have to contact us for an offline renewal process.
Should I opt for a single year insurance plan or a long-term insurance plan?
You should opt for a long-term or multi-year two-wheeler insurance plan for your Bajaj bike to enjoy pure convenience and be completely stress-free. You can save on premiums, eliminates the hassles of yearly renewals, skip the paperwork and avoid the gap in coverage since you are insured for an extended period.
Will I get reminder for policy renewals if I buy from Coverfox.com?
Yes, you will receive reminders via SMS and email on renewals if you have bought the policy from Coverfox.com.
How is third-party insurance different from comprehensive two wheeler insurance?
The third party bike insurance only covers your legal liability for any loss and damages to third party because of your bike. It will not cover you or your bike for any damages suffered. Whereas, a comprehensive bike insurance will cover your bike from instances of theft, fire and vandalism. It also protects from natural disasters such as cyclone, floods, earthquakes, or from civil disturbances such as riots, which damages your bike. A list of what perils are covered will be provided in the policy document. Make sure you go through the list to understand the protection being offered. Along with this, it also covers any legal liability arising due to the damages caused to any third party triggered by your bike.

Human Rights Watch Press release
The Central African Republic reached an important milestone in February with the conclusion of largely peaceful presidential elections. While the results of legislative elections are still pending, these too were conducted in a mostly peaceful environment, giving Central Africans a new degree of confidence about their country's future.
The new government's primary task to protect civilians and end sectarian violence is immense. The situation in the capital, Bangui, remains extremely fragile and serious human rights violations continue there as well as in other locations across the country. The largely Muslim Seleka rebels and the predominately Christian anti-balaka fighters continue to attack each other and civilians, often in reprisal attacks. Earlier this month sectarian violence led to the deaths of at least 11 civilians near Bambari.
Nearly 900,000 people remain displaced, either as refugees in neighboring countries or in camps and host communities in the country. Scores continue to die in remote forest locations with little or no access to humanitarian aid. The challenges created by the violence are compounded for persons with disabilities who face added risk in fleeing to safety or in accessing basic services such as toilets, food, and medical care in displacement camps.
Displacement camps, protected under international law, have been targeted in tit-for-tat revenge killings. In December at least eight people were killed at Ngakobo camp, Ouaka province, when it was attacked by Seleka fighters from the Union for Peace in the Central African Republic (UPC).
Sexual violence against women and girls continues to be a significant component of the violence. Human Rights Watch documented 29 cases of sexual violence that occurred during violence in Bangui between September 26 and December 17. Eleven of these cases occurred in and around the M'Poko displacement camp. The survivors from M'Poko said the anti-balaka had raped them as punishment for allegedly buying and selling to Muslims. Many survivors had not accessed essential health or psychosocial services.
Impunity continues to be a principle driver of the violence. To date, no one has been held to account for serious human rights crimes. Last June the interim president signed the law establishing a Special Criminal Court, comprised of both national and international judges and prosecutors, which will investigate and prosecute grave human rights violations committed in the country since 2003. But the court is not yet a reality. The Independent Expert on CAR recently said "the Central African people must be able to see that these promises were not in vain." We agree and would ask the Independent Expert for her evaluation of progress and difficulties encountered in the setting-up of the Special Criminal Court, and what steps the international community can take to support this new institution.

As the World Turns hit the airwaves over fifty years ago. In the time since, the show has had its share of TV firsts … and it's about to have another. For the first time ever on a daytime drama, we're about to get a bona fide teen gay male couple. For some time now, we've watched as Luke Snyder (played deftly by Van Hansis) came out to his friends and family. For a genre not known for its subtlety, his coming out journey has been surprisingly realistic and poignant. Luke wasn't the first gay male character on the show, but he has been the first to come from a central family and receive a significant story arc of his own.
A few weeks ago, the show added Jake Silbermann as Noah Mayer, an intern at the TV station at which Luke and his friend Maddie are working for the summer. Luke has been fighting his growing attraction to the seemingly straight Noah, especially as Noah started a romance with Maddie. But last week the boys did some sparking of their own when they ended up shirtless and in one another's arms. Tomorrow, they exchange their first kiss: What does that mean for the show and for them?
We spoke with Jake Silbermann to find out.
AfterElton.com: As the World Turns is one of TV's oldest daytime dramas. You're making history as the first gay male teen couple on the show and, in fact, on daytime TV. How does that feel?
Jake Silbermann: I'm really proud to be a part of that kind of storyline, that kind of history. It is kind of a milestone for daytime television. As an actor, you hope you can play a role with meaning, but I never even hoped it would have this kind of significance, so I'm thrilled.
AE: Do you feel a sense of responsibility about the role?
JS: Just as much as I do with any role — just to play it honestly and truthfully to that character's description — but I mean, yes, of course.
AE: So often when a show adds a gay character, that's the only gay character on the show. But ATWT already has Luke, played by Van Hansis. Did Van take you under his wing and tell you what to expect?
JS: Both Van and Alex [Alexandra Chando who plays Maddie Coleman], who I work with a lot, they've been at this longer than I have. Generally, you learn from the people around you, and yeah, absolutely, I've learned a whole lot from both of them.
AE: I assume you knew you were auditioning for a gay role? How did you feel about the prospect of playing a gay character?
JS: I was excited. It sounded like a really different role for daytime, which it is. I was really excited about that.
AE: We recently did an interview with Paul James who plays Calvin on ABC Family's new college drama Greek.
JS: Paul James and I went to Syracuse College together.
AE: That's awesome. He told us a story about his manager telling him everyone plays gay and it's no big deal while Greek's creator Sean Smith told us there are still plenty of actors — straight and gay — who won't play gay. Do you know actors still afraid of gay roles? What are your thoughts about that since having taken the role of Noah?
JS: That really wasn't too much my experience. I know all types of people, and you always get different reactions when you tell people that you're playing a role like this. Some people are just totally supportive, and yes, some people I've encountered are like, "Really? How do you feel about that? Are you okay with that?" And I explain to them I'm an actor who's really happy to be playing this character.
AE: Did you read with Van to see what your chemistry was like with him?
JS: Yeah, we did. Van was present at one of our final auditions. We read together, and it was very natural.
AE: Gay fans have worried that the relationship between Luke and Noah would be treated differently than the relationship between the show's straight characters. Was there a lot of discussion about that on set?
JS: Definitely not. No one ever said to me we're going to treat this differently than a straight relationship. Nobody ever came to me. I knew the story we're trying to tell, and it has to be told the same as it would be with anybody. I mean, maybe it's a little more careful just in the sense that it is the first gay [teen male] couple on daytime television.
Lisa Lugassy (Senior Publicist for As the World Turns): If I can just interject for a second, I've listened to our head writer answer this question many times, and she's said on more than one occasion that she really feels they're telling this story the same way they'd tell any other love story, and the complaints that it's taking too long is the same complaint they hear with all other love stories as well. It's just the nature of daytime television.
JS: That sounds about right.
AE: Soaps are obviously known for their steaminess and the episode from last week where you and Van are shirtless and end up in each others arms fits the bill as steamy. Can fans expect to see more of that between the two of you?
JS: You'll just have to tune in and find out. [laughs]
AE: Actors often say romantic scenes are awkward to play. How do you and Van approach them?
JS: I think they're only awkward if you lose touch with where the character is coming from or who he is. Those scenes are important. Those moments are what romances are built off of. I personally don't find them awkward whether they're between me and Van or me and Alex. As long as it's coming from a real place, it's not awkward.
AE: Luke and Noah finally kiss tomorrow. Does Noah realize he is actually gay then or is he still trying to figure things out?
JS: Noah is definitely still trying to figure things out, and in some ways, the kiss brings up a whole new set of questions for him.
AE: Noah is very different from Luke who knew he was gay for a long time whereas Noah seems to be just figuring it out. Do you know anyone who went through something similar? Did you talk with someone gay for advice on how to play the role or what Noah might be feeling or thinking?
JS: No, I didn't seek out any advice because I don't think it's really any different for a straight person or a gay person who is feeling these things. I think everybody understands the idea of being confused by the feelings that they're feeling.
AE: How do you think Noah's dad is going to react when he learns the truth?
JS: I think we can expect a very negative reaction from Noah's dad.
AE: Can you give us a hint about what's next for the two of them?
JS: The story is really about to just pick up. After the kiss, it's really just beginning for them. I think there's a lot of great stuff on the horizon. I don't want to hint too much because part of the fun is not knowing.
AE: Conflict is drama, as they say, and that's especially true on a soap opera where anything can happen. What would you like to see happen between Luke and Noah?
JS: Hmm. Drama is the best thing for a show, but I'd really like to see the characters move along with their relationship. I'd like to see them experience the same things a lot of the other relationships on the show have experienced.
AE: The scene when Luke came out to you was well written and you guys did a great job of acting in it. Have you ever had a friend come out to you?
JS: No, actually I haven't. Not to me. Not the way it happened between Luke and Noah. I have had friends who have, over the course of growing up, come out.
AE: Today's youth seems much more open minded about gay relationships. How do you think the older audiences will respond to the storyline?
JS: I don't know. It's definitely different for everybody, but I know I've already been contacted by people who wish this storyline was around when they were younger. We're dealing with a lot of things that they've experienced in their lives.
AE: Folks would like to now more about you. How old are you and where are you from?
JS: I'm 24. I'm from the New York area, the East Coast.
AE: Did you always want to act?
JS: When I was younger, actually, I wanted to draw for comic books.
AE: Do you still pursue that?
JS: No, not really. I let that go a while ago. I doodle, but that's about it.
AE: Single? Dating?
JS: I'm single.
AE: Any other projects in the works?
JS: Not at the moment. Right now I'm just concentrating on this storyline.
AE: Thanks so much for talking to us, Jake. We're looking forward to seeing where this story goes.
JS: I really appreciate that. I just hope you all are enjoying it and I'm doing the character justice.

Ann Slegman: Muse of the Year
by Charles Ferruzza
You could say that giving Ann Slegman Isenberg the 2015 "Muse of the Year Award" is the equivalent of giving the popular writer, editor, political activist and philanthropist a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Writers Place. She was, after all, there at the very beginning.
Ann Slegman, as she's known in the writing community, was one of the founding members of The Writers Place in 1992, when Gloria Vando Hickok and the late Bill Hickok organized Kansas City's first arts organization focused exclusively on the literary arts, part of the Midwest Center for the Literary Arts, along with Helicon Nine.
Helicon Nine was Gloria's earlier venture, a journal of women's arts and letters, where Slegman became a proofreader and editor. "Gloria became my champion and a true mentor for me," Slegman says.
The other founding members, in addition to the Hickoks, included Phil Miller, Patricia Cleary Miller, Elaine Lally, Bob Stewart and Sharon Eiker. The plan was to create a physical location where Kansas City writers could gather for readings, lectures and a quiet place to write.
"Bill Hickok found this building," recalls Slegman. "Its last incarnation had been a church and, although it had once been a beautiful old mansion, going in we found it was in horrible shape, filled with shag carpeting and ugly paneling. It was beautifully transformed, but at the time I remember thinking, 'What have we gotten into?' But when you have a vision, you move forward."
Writing is part of Slegman's DNA: Her late mother, Betty Harvey Slegman, had been a broadcast reporter with United Press International (she covered the dropping of the atomic bomb) before moving to Kansas City to marry Bob Slegman, the president of the Stern-Slegman-Prins Company, which manufactured the Betty Rose line of suits and coats. Also, Ann's cousin Stephen Harvey was associate curator of film at the Museum of Modern Art and writer of several definitive books on cinema before his untimely death in 1993.
Slegman, the youngest of three, can't remember a time she didn't want to be a writer. "I first thought of it when I was really young, second grade I think. I'm sure it had something to do with my Mom's influence," she says. "I started writing poetry in high school -- you know, really bad poetry. But I was so lucky to have had an early workshop with Dan Jaffe. He taught us what was clichéd and what got to the very essence of things." Today, Ann Slegman is the author of two books: a novel, Return to Sender, and a book of poetry, Conversations.
A graduate of the Sunset Hill School, Slegman attended the University of Colorado, majoring in English and Creative Writing before receiving a master's degree in creative writing at Brown University. Ann later worked as an editor at the former (and venerable) McCall's magazine, which was renamed Rosie magazine after comedian Rosie O'Donnell and ceased publication in 2002. Slegman moved back to Kansas City in 1983 and married Tom Isenberg in 1985. They are the parents of two children, Katie and David. "My proudest achievements," she says.
"I'm very proud of my affiliation with The Writers Place," says Slegman, who served as both vice-president and president of the board of directors. She was integral in launching the Youth Poetry Symposium and outreach to local schools.
I don't think there is a board member, volunteer, or frequent patron of The Writers Place who hasn't met or experienced the wisdom, humor, diplomacy and generosity of Ann Slegman Isenberg. She has been the beating heart of the organization for many years.

While I enjoyed the grandeur of Albert Finney's sole outing as Poirot much more the second time around, I wondered how Peter Ustinov would fare. Until this project, I'd only seen one of his films – Death on the Nile – so in the next couple of weeks, I'll visit all six. Let's begin with the first two:

Film Review: "The Mirror Crack'd" (1980)Posted by therebelprince under Marple | Tags: agatha christie, angela lansbury, crime fiction, edward fox, elizabeth taylor, geraldine chaplin, kim novak, miss marple, rock hudson |
1 Comment
The Mirror Crack'd is a solid, unsurprising Christie adaptation, when all is said and done. Angela Lansbury's sole turn as Miss Marple adapts perhaps the most Hollywood friendly Marple story, with its focus on performance, and a more cross-Atlantic cast than usual. (The old-timiness of Sleeping Murder or Nemesis were never going to attract Warner Bros.)
To be honest, aside from a few melodramatic touches in the denouement, there's nothing to be said against this film. On the other hand, aside from two gripping scenes mentioned below, there's very little here that attempts to stand out from the crowd.

In this comic book-style game, players will visit regions facing energy crises, review each situation and fire up the "Energy Expert 5,000" to keep Energy Land running. The game offers a whole new experience for My American Farm users, as they adjust a virtual energy meter to designate energy sources for a region in need. After playing the game, learners will understand the importance of having a balanced energy plan and discover energy as an important sector in the agriculture industry.
Accompanying the game is a new eComic, "Lights Out," which invites learners to join Benjamin P. Farmington as he travels in time with his great-grandfather to learn how energy has changed. The new game and resources can be found at www.myamericanfarm.org/games/power_up.
This game and related resources were developed through a special partnership with Tri State Generation and Transmission Association. The game release kicks off a three-year partnership between Tri State and the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture. State Farm Bureau leaders will have the opportunity to nominate state representatives to attend an energy-focused agricultural literacy symposium in Denver to be held in late Spring 2014.
My American Farm is an educational game platform launched in 2011 to engage pre-K through fifth-grade learners in the discovery of relevant agricultural issues. Today the free site offers 18 agriculturally themed games and more than 100 free educator resources such as lesson plans, activity sheets and comics. One additional game will be released later this year.
The My American Farm educational resource is a special project of the Foundation. The site and resources are made possible through the generous support of title sponsor, DuPont Pioneer. To take advantage of free My American Farm resources, games and activities, visit www.myamericanfarm.org.

Help for Repaying Home Buyer Tax Credit
When the first-time home buyer tax credit was enacted in 2008, in the aftermath of the housing crisis, it was structured as a no-interest loan and taxpayers who used it had to pay it back over time (in annual installments through your tax return). In 2009, the credit was amended to eliminate the pay-back requirement.
To help 2008 and other borrowers who have to pay back the proceeds of that credit, the IRS today released a "tool" to help make that process easier, the First-Time Homebuyer Credit Lookup Tool.
In essence, the tool simplifies the gathering of information you need to include the proper pay-back amount in your federal tax filing:
- Balance of your first-time homebuyer credit
- Amount paid back to date
- Total amount of the credit received
- Annual installment repayment amount
Prior to release of this tool, taxpayers had to gather this information themselves for reporting on IRS Form 5405. Now it's available through the IRS by punching in your Social Security number, date of birth, and some other identifying information.
Who else besides 2008 credit users need to pay back their benefit? The IRS says those who used the credit in 2009 or 2010 and then sold their home within three years of purchase. (Under the program, you have to own your primary residence for three years after you take the credit to avoid the pay-back rule.)
You can get more on the rules and the new look-up tool from the IRS.

Once you have been in an academic post for a few years and are heading towards mid-career, you will have the opportunity to supervise research students. This is one of the most rewarding aspects of academic life, working one to one with a fellow enthusiast and guiding them towards a significant intellectual achievement.
PhD students:
Most academics advertise their willingness to supervise PhD students on their websites. As your name becomes known, other academics will recommend you as a supervisor by word of mouth.
There are three main routes for acquiring a PhD student:
- Advertise a funded PhD research studentship. This will be on a project that is very close to your own work. You will have usually mapped out the research focus in advance of receiving applicants.
- An applicant comes up with his/her own project and approaches you to be their supervisor.
- If you have a taught MA programme at your university, some students will be keen to progress and develop a project begun at MA level. If you are the best person to supervise a PhD and you think that this the right choice for the student then this is an obvious way to acquire PhD students.
Masters research students:
Some universities offer MA by research and MPhil degrees as a stepping stone between undergraduate, taught masters and PhD level. These degrees are for one or two years and will result in a shorter piece of work than a PhD, but will nevertheless involve a similar role for the supervisor.
Being a supervisor: important issues
- Paperwork: one of the most onerous tasks is the amount of paperwork that you have to complete. Each institution's procedures will be different but many require regular reports of the student's progress and status.
- Establish a positive relationship from the start. Each research student will come to the degree with different expectations. In terms of frequency of meeting some will want to meet with you very regularly, while others want to be left alone. Some students like to keep in contact via email, or telephone, whereas others rely on face to face meetings. As for the amount of guidance you provide, some students will want you to lead their project, telling them what to do at every stage, whereas others will require a sounding board for them to explore ideas.
- Also important is type of supervisor you are. This will depend on your personality type and level of experience. Do you see yourself as an advisor, a collaborator, a leader? Do you see your role as to impart wisdom, or will you help the student to find the answers for themselves? The role of research supervisor can be an awkward one; you are no longer teacher and pupil, but this is a different relationship from that with colleagues or friends. Think about your own research supervisor and how you related to him or her. Did that relationship work and if not, how can you do things better?

Swiss Bunkers: Photographs by Leo Fabrizio
Who knew that Switzerland was home to so many bomb shelters and bunkers? Swiss photographer Leo Fabrizio spent 5 years documenting a selection of both the obvious bunkers and the bizarrely camouflaged bunkers in Switzerland. Some of these places are the perfect locale to act out your Lord of The Rings fantasies...
These photos make me wonder how many bunkers I missed on my trip through Switzerland last summer! It's amazing how some of them become part of the landscape.
Fabrizio's photographs are available as a book: BUNKERS Switzerland 1999-2004.

In the late 1970s, Randy and I and our two sons spent three years stationed on Okinawa, Japan with the Air Force. On our first 4thof July overseas, we gathered with other families of the 15thTactical Reconnaissance Squadron to celebrate the freedoms I had often taken for granted.
If I closed my eyes, I could almost imagine being back home and not on an island the size of New Jersey. I savored the familiar aroma of barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs. Picnic tables laden with steaming corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, and even juicy watermelon, an expensive delicacy in the Far East, waited for the lineup of hungry guests.
Living in another culture had offered a multitude of new opportunities. I enrolled in Japanese courses, our sons played with Okinawan children with hardly a language barrier, and we sampled tempura-coated vegetables managing chopsticks instead of forks.
I would never trade our experiences, but we missed the United States. Silly things like TV commercials that were absent from the Armed Forces station, but showed up with taped programs like Star Trek and Dallas. The usually annoying advertising now gave us glimpses of ordinary life back home. A way of life you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
Even a trip to the movie theater on the military base got me choked up with nostalgia. They always played our National Anthem to preface the featured film, against a backdrop of Americana scenes. Dorothy was right. There really wasn't any place quite like home–Kansas or otherwise.
Years later, I still remember the rush of emotion I felt when our plane nosed through wispy clouds and the stately Golden Gate Bridge came into view. After three years, we had finally come home to the land of the free and the home of the brave. I would never take my country for granted again.

Meadows, grazed or mowed, are criss-crossed with ditches and dotted with peat bogs; these have been created in the wetland that stretches out to the sea, to the east and to the west. The marshlands are inhabited by characteristic flora and fauna; the landscapes here have two faces, changing with the seasons.
La Maison du Parc
The best way to understand this particular environment is to visit "la Maison du Parc". Here, nearly 500 m² of themed areas enable you to go on a fun sensorial tour of the wetland (exhibition, film about the seasons, panoramic view-point, boutique, lounge...).
Outside, look-outs have been built on the edge of a lake, in a sensitive natural area of about a hundred hectares. From there, on your own or with a nature guide, you can observe birds in their natural environment.
In winter,
on the horizon, sky and water merge: flooded marshes are said to be "white", and almost seem to turn the Cotentin peninsula into an island.
In the spring,
rivers return to their beds. In the vast prairies, fish give way to cows, horses and birds.

text: The Prairie Crocuses are popping up all over grassy southern slopes around Calgary parks. The Prairie Crocus, or Anemone patens, is not a true Crocus but is instead a part of the Buttercup family. Pasque Flower, which refers to its blooming period around the time of Passover, or Wind Flower which refers to the Greek origin of its genus name, Anemone, are both alternative names. The flowers bloom close to the ground before the growth of the leaves so they can be tough to find initially. Once you see one however, you'll start seeing them all over! Keep an eye out for them and watch where you step while walking on sunny slopes; they're a beautiful and sure sign that spring is just about here!

10 Reasons We Love a Wingback Chair
When I imagine curling up in a cozy reading nook, or in a lounge chair perfectly situated by a fireplace, I always think of it happening in a big old wingback chair. It feels like few pieces of furniture have stood the test of time as well as wingbacks. Originally introduced in 17th century England, little has changed in terms of appearance. The high back was designed to protect from drafts, while the characteristic protruding winged sides were ideal for enjoying the warmth of a fire.
Although the main features have remained the same, wingback chairs are now available in all sorts of styles, from traditional to sleeker, more modern interpretations. The best thing about wingback chairs is their versatility — despite their original purpose, they can be used in so many creative ways. Whether placed in a corner, in front of a desk or in the hallway, wingback chairs always signal a welcoming and laid-back feel. The wingback is the true host of lounge chairs — classic and stately, and always the perfect accommodation for anyone looking for some comfort and coziness. —Sofia

Sexual orientation and gender identity have been hot topics on college campuses in recent weeks, especially with the intense debate over House Bill 2 in North Carolina. This so-called "bathroom bill" became law late last month, repealing local ordinances in Charlotte and elsewhere aimed at expanding protections for the LGBTQ community.
According to Inside Higher Ed, the law now requires public colleges to segregate restrooms by biological birth gender, forcing transgender students and faculty members to use facilities that don't reflect their identities.
Campus Pride, a national nonprofit that advocates on behalf of LGBTQ students, argued that HB2 threatens student safety and could jeopardize billions in federal financial aid to North Carolina colleges and universities if it is found to violate Title IX, the longstanding federal law protecting students against discrimination based on sex.
"This law only exacerbates the issue causing harm to vulnerable LGBTQ young people and will result in legal challenges due to unfair conditions for transgender students," the group said in a statement.
Core to this story are the issues of inclusion and safety of LGBTQ students. Despite the fact that private institutions are not directly affected by the North Carolina law, many have been quick to oppose it and to remind the public of their inclusive policies.
Duke University, the first private institution to denounce the law, not long ago found itself at the center of another debate related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
At Duke and other campuses around the country, people are asking questions about what information should be captured about a student's sexual orientation and gender identity during the admissions process. Some fear asking such questions on college applications could influence admissions decisions, while others are concerned that not asking sends a message that a university won't acknowledge LGBTQ students and provide appropriate services for them on campus. Proponents of including a question on the admissions form argue that if a university doesn't know the number of LGBTQ students it serves, it can't serve them adequately.
We recently spoke to Campus Pride executive director Shane Windmeyer and other student advocates for the second episode of our new podcast Upgraded by Hobsons.
Check out the interview below, and share your thoughts on this story by tweeting #UpgradedbyHobsons.
