Bill Evans, Riley Baugus, Ryan Cavanaugh: "June Apple/Salt Creek"
Peghead Nation banjo instructor Bill Evans plays two bluegrass classics backstage during the California Banjo Extravaganza with guests Riley Baugus and Ryan Cavanaugh.
by Dan Gabel
January 08, 2016
The fourth annual California Banjo Extravaganza featured Peghead Nation banjo instructor Bill Evans, Ryan Cavanaugh, and Riley Baugus headlining four concerts and hosting a Banjo Mini-Camp last fall. In this video, Riley, Bill, and Ryan play the bluegrass classics "June Apple" and "Salt Creek" backstage at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse before their last Extravaganza gig.
Bill Evans teaches Beginning Banjo and Bluegrass Banjo on Peghead Nation, and is the author of the popular Bluegrass Banjo for Dummies and Banjo for Dummies books. He has recorded and performed widely, both as a solo artist and with folks like Fletcher Bright, David Grisman, David Bromberg, Dan Crary, Peter Rowan, J.D. Crowe, Tony Trischka, and many others. Bill started the California Banjo Extravaganza to celebrate the artistry of the five-string banjo and the many approaches to playing the instrument.
Ryan Cavanaugh is a North Carolina musician who honed his jazz chops for over a decade as a member of saxophonist's Bill Evans' band Soulgrass. He's won every major banjo contest in the world, including MerleFest and Rocky Grass, and he is now focusing on his own compositions, which he performs in both acoustic and jazz fusion contexts. He is leading the pack among young instrumentalists pushing the progressive boundaries of the five-string banjo.
Riley Baugus was inspired to start playing banjo at the age of ten by the traditional Appalachian music that he heard in the Blue Ridge mountains. After learning his craft from old-time greats like Tommy Jarrell, Dix Freeman, and Robert Sykes, Riley has played with old-time string bands like the Red Hots and the Old Hollow Stringband, and has recorded on his own for Rounder and Sugar Hill records. He sings on the soundtrack to the Academy Award-winning film Cold Mountain and performs on the Grammy Award-winning Raising Sand by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant.

Click on the video to see a sample from the Qatari deck of Arabic vs. Arabic Anki flashcards.
Use Anki's SRS (spaced repetition system) to study any of the 15 varieties of Arabic from the book Arabic vs. Arabic: A Dialect Sampler, while improving your listening and reading skills and overall fluency. Anki is a free desktop software program that intelligently schedules items to be reviewed at the most efficient time possible.
IT'S EASY! If you don't already have Anki, visit the Anki website and download the free desktop program. Once Anki is installed, simply click on your purchased file. It will automatically import into Anki. Open Anki and you will see the deck ready for study.
Each deck has 300+ flashcards. There is one flashcard for each of the words or phrases. The deck includes reverse-cards, bringing the actual total number of cards to more than 600. These reverse-cards show the English translation first, forcing you to see how well you can recall the Arabic.
The default setting on Anki is to introduce 20 new cards per day. If you want to change the daily new-card limit, you can do so by going into settings → options (next to the deck's name). You can also choose whether to study the cards in order or in random order. If you prefer to focus on specific cards, search and add a custom tag. You can then create a "custom study deck". Open the main deck and then click on "custom study" (at the bottom) → study by card state or tag → choose tags. When you've finished studying your custom study deck, you can delete it. The cards will remain in the main deck and Anki will remember that you have studied them and bring them up for review later.
Press r to repeat a card's audio. You can record your voice (shft+V) and replay it (v) to compare your pronunciation. For any other questions regarding the use of the Anki program, please refer to the documentation on the Anki site.

By NNA Staff on August 09, 2012 in Hotline Tips What is the best way to ensure that a loose certificate won't be fraudulently removed and attached to another document? Because there is no absolute protection against fraudulent removal, it's always preferable to fill out Notary certificate language that is preprinted or typed right on a document rather than to staple a separate or "loose" certificate to it. However, there are precautions Notary can take to make removal of a loose certificate more difficult. 1) Emboss the certificate and document together and label "Attached documents bears embossment" on the certificate 2) Write a brief description of the document on the certificate, perhaps in the margin, so it is easily identifiable Notaries should consult state laws regarding loose certificates before using them. Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors Confronted with a tricky notarization? Unsure how to proceed?

7 February 2020
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) has welcomed the first meeting of the Judicial Council which is made up of all 168 sitting Irish judges.
We particularly welcome the intention to draft sentencing guidelines to ensure clarity and consistency around sentencing. These guidelines, however, should be underpinned by clear sentencing principles. Mandatory sentencing does not meet human rights standards as it cannot take into account the particulars of a case. It is time we as a country moved away from this system.
The Judicial Council will also create guidelines for awards in personal injuries cases and a judicial code of conduct as well as the introduction of mechanisms for dealing with complaints.
ICCL has campaigned for the creation of a Judicial Council since 2007.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties is Ireland's leading independent human rights campaigning organisation. We monitor, educate and campaign to secure human rights for everyone in Ireland.

Earlier this month, Rita Ora gathered the girl squad of Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX to put out an early candidate for Song of the Summer. The resulting electro-pop tune, "Girls," took listeners on a sonic journey about girls sexually experimenting with, well, other girls — and it received a noticeable amount of criticism after being released, so much so that Rita Ora issued a statement of apology to the LGBTQ community. Charli XCX has now responded to the backlash the song received, although she's not exactly offering words of regret. "I could totally relate to the conversation that was being had. Of course, the intention of the song was never to hurt anybody," she explained, noting how she read the critical posts Hayley Kiyoko and Kehlani wrote. "None of the artists on this song would ever want to upset or hurt anyone."
Charli XCX also noted how a personal experience between Ora and a woman fueled the song's inspiration, an experience of which many outlets are trying to crack. "I know from when Rita invited me to be a part of the song, this song was about a specific experience that she had with a woman," she said. "I know that Rita's had extremely meaningful relationships with both men and women. She really does have every right to tell her story because she's not doing it from an exploitative viewpoint. She's been with women and had relationships with women. She's had relationships with men, too. I don't understand why her story is less valid than anybody else's." She added:
I've known Rita for a very long time in this particular journey and in this particular story in her life. I would never want to take anyone's space in pop music, but Rita is somebody I've known for a very long time who has had queer experiences and [I felt] that perhaps this is a safe space for me to be on this record. I apologize to any people I've offended by that.
In addition to Charli XCX and Ora, Cardi B has also apologized for her involvement in the song, saying she "wasn't aware" that the lyrics could be offensive to the LGBTQ community.
As for Rexha, she offered this nugget of wisdom when asked if she regretted her "Girls" participation: "My sexual life is nobody's business. But we're singing a song about kissing girls and that remains true to who I am. It's the life that I live and it's honest to me."

love the top!
Meet Cassie Taylor, a singer, songwriter, and bassist player visiting in Memphis, TN. During last month's Trolley Night on South Main, my friends and I passed Cassie and her friends; I was immediately drawn to her style, so I asked Darius (always with his camera, lol) to snap a quick pic.
Her look was eclectic, but most importantly, it seemed authentic. You can tell when someone is going for a "look", and when it comes effortlessly. In my eyes, hers was the latter.
Here's her city style.
What are you wearing?
Earrings, Sweater, and Bag are vintage | Vest: Buffalo Exchange | Hot Pants: Forever 21 | Boots: Miss Me (Amazon.com) | Earrings: World Market | Watch: Michael Kors
Where do you like to shop?
I was always weary of online shopping, but I bought a pair of boots on Amazon 6 months ago and I was thrilled! I love the vast selection of clothing and shoes that they have. If you're looking for something specific, like say "yellow leather fringe boots" (which I bought on the site), they are most likely to have it…with FREE shipping. J
Sache Clothing
"Comfort" in the fashion industry is like a four letter word. Whenever hear that word, I think of grandmas in muumuus and orthopedic loafers. But, Sache is doing an amazing job at brining fashion to comfort. I spend a lot of time traveling, so need fashion forward comfort. I am currently a Memphis international rep wearing their "Rock and Roll" tank.
What could be better than rescuing a piece of clothing from the landfill AND doing good at the same time?! I love hunting for vintage, one-of-a-kind pieces like the mod white sweater I'm wearing (in the pic). Whether it's a Missoni dress or a vintage handbag for my collection, I always feel like I am getting a great deal, and benefiting a great cause.
What does style mean to you? There are no rules, as far as style goes. If you believe it's cool, others will follow suite, that's how trends are made, Confidence n what you're wearing is key. Trust me, I have days where I put on an outfit and leave house and immediately regret what I'm wearing. I will change 4/5 times throughout the day before I 'm satisfied with my choice. Other days, I'll find an out that I feel is really strong and I'll be guilty of avoid going to the same places so that I can wear it two days in a row.
Wear what you want, and if you get any shit for it, just strut on by the haters and smile – because they didn't have the confidence to rock what you got on!
Visit http://www.cassietaylorband.com/ to learn more about her.
What's your city style? email email@example.com. You could be featured!

Marvel's Goose: The Rising Cat Icon
As you may have witnessed, this adorable kitty is not only cute and fluffy, but definitely a badass! First picked up by Fury in the former base where Carol Danvers used to work as a fighter jet pilot, Goose the cat is definitely an unforgettable character in the movie. While this movie indeed portrays girl power, Goose the cat doesn't fail to show off its powers in the movie as well!
Don't be fooled by its adorableness, Goose is actually a powerful alien specie called a Flerken – an entity with a pocket dimension inside their own bodies. Flerkens are also capable of effortlessly knocking enemies over with the tentacles in their mouth as well as effortlessly swallow the Tesseract and perhaps even some of the enemies as well. Like most kitties, the Flerken can also retract their claws and seriously injure people!
But in the comics, there's a different appearance for the Goose in the movie. Goose was originally called Chewie in the comics, the name Goose was actually from the iconic movie Top Gun. It served as an inspiration for the creators since this movie is about jet fighters and awesome fight scenes!
In the comics, Chewie was Carol's house cat that she adopted – only to discover that it was special when Rocket the racoon open fire on it making them hate each other. Chewie later on saved her species by laying hundreds of eggs later on! While they might appear clueless, Flerkens are actually as smart as humans in most decisions. Fury suffered the consequence as he was clawed in the face by the movie's Flerken!
In the set of Captain Marvel, they have to hire three different cats to do various things in the movie. One is a great actor that is versatile, the other is a sweet tabby that does all the cuddles and petting scenes, and one is fiesty that does all the attack scenes – including Nick's unfortunate encounter with Goose. Thanks to the talents of these adorable felines, they don't have to do much CGI to make some of the scenes!
While you don't have your own Goose, you can adopt your own adorable feline. They are nice to cuddle with, cute, and awesome! They will be your partner in crime and your best friend through thick and thin. They might love to jump on high places and scratch your furniture, they know when you're sad and will comfort you until you get better. Get yourself an earth Goose and watch the upcoming film with them!

SAN FRANCISCO: Indians catcher Yan Gomes and his wife, Jenna, are expecting their first child � a baby girl � any moment. All the waiting has left Gomes a bag of nerves for the last week, especially when his cellphone rings with a call from Jenna back in Cleveland.
�I�m about past the nervous part and on to the come-on-already phase,� Gomes half-joked before Saturday�s game. �I even went out yesterday and bought the baby a couple dresses here in the city. I can�t even pronounce the name of the [boutique] I went to, but that�s probably why the clothes cost so much.�
Gomes also asked his teammates who have babies what in the world he�s supposed to pack in his hospital overnight bag, noting his wife�s bag is already packed and next to the door.
�I mean, I�m a guy,� Gomes said, �so what am I supposed to bring? But the big thing the guys told me was to pack snacks. Snacks and comfortable clothes in case we�re there for a while.�
When Gomes does finally get the call, the Indians will place him briefly on the paternity list. However, without another catcher besides third baseman/catcher Carlos Santana on the team�s 40-man roster, a move will be necessary to add depth behind the plate until Gomes returns.
HOLDING PATTERN � During the Giants� broadcast of Saturday�s game, an infographic was shown onscreen indicating Indians pitchers have the worst �shutdown inning� percentage in the major leagues at 54 percent, compared to a league average of 72 percent. The term shutdown means that after the Indians score in their half of an inning, their pitcher holds the opposition scoreless in its half.
� Stephanie Storm

Lakeside Home
Project Story
This client acquired the residential property that had a 70's vintage rambler modular home with the intention of doing extensive upgrades and remodeling. After doing some initial estimating of whole house renovations and feasibility of repairs to the cracked foundation – he concluded that he might be better off starting over. With the goal being that he may not ever move again – Durability, Energy Efficiency, Comfort and Style all played into what his "dream home" might be like. After doing some checking around – he wisely chose Wagner Zaun Architecture to design a new energy efficient home. Rachel of Wagner Zaun in turn referred J&R Sundberg as a good fit as the Contractor for the client, who put a lot of value into details and workmanship.
On this beautifully landscaped double-lot in town, the client ended up with a single-story 3 bedroom home with finished basement featuring a tuck-under garage on an ICF foundation. For energy efficiency – he chose 12" dbl-stud exterior walls (R-40+), 20" attic insulation (R-72) & triple glazed – fiberglass frame windows. Other significant features are a nicely fitting Front Cedar Porch accessed by a poured concrete stair & walkway and a large cedar deck in the back.
Due to careful analysis, design, workmanship and testing – this house achieved the <1 Air Change/hour (50Pa pressure – blower door test) – meeting the stringent target goal set for air tightness. With the superior window glazing and other great R-values – he now enjoys heating bills less than 1/3 of other comparable size code built house in Duluth.
My project was a complete residential rebuild designed by Wagner Zaun Architecture. As the design phase was nearing completion, I was introduced to J&R Sundberg Construction through Wagner Zaun as a one of their preferred contractors. They were a perfect match for my project. They demonstrated a strong knowledge of high efficiency home construction, understood my goals, listened to my comments and concerns throughout the construction process, and performed beyond my expectations.
The construction project was very well run. J&R Sundberg's crews were productive, continuously onsite, finished the project ahead of the anticipated schedule and the craftsmanship was excellent. From a fiscal perspective, the project tracking was remarkable. I was consulted for all change orders, was able to approve all cost increases in advance, and the construction loan draw process was seamless.
While there are many characteristics that support my recommendation of J&R Sundberg, for me, it can best be summarized in a simple statement: "I lived in a house for many years, now I have a home."
Mr. Darby

Difference Between European Union and Council of Europe
The European Union and the Council of Europe are the two different bodies established with the purpose of having a common goal, that of a united and prosperous Europe. Both of these European organizations come with their own sets of responsibilities and goals. There are specific secondary bodies and institutions working under these. They provide many suggestions to develop a better economy, to enhance democratic principles and supremacy of human rights and values.
The European Union:
The European Union is the political and economic amalgamation of twenty-seven European states. The European Union (EU) has a set of laws and rules that are followed and supported by all member states, be it on any economic system or policy. There are two types of organizations working under the European Union who come to be independent candidates and under intergovernmental control. The Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the European Parliament and European Council are all prominent EU institutions. The EU population is about five hundred million people, scattered in all member states. In specific areas, there a some laws in which carrying the passport is not compulsory and free movement of services, people and goods is permitted and common legislative standards are maintained.
Council of Europe:
The Council of Europe is another European integrated agency, which has forty-seven EU member states. The Council of Europe lays a lot of importance on democratic development and the development of human rights. Its main bodies are the European Court of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. This organization also lays emphasis on cultural cooperation and sharing of legal standards. It is also concerned with awareness of human rights in all its member States, which have a population of more than 800 million.
The European Union and the Council of Europe are two independent European organizations aimed at the progress and development of Europe. Both of these have their own laws and method of working. Each applies their rules in their own ways and within their scope of function.

COVID-19 has been the Big Disrupter, derailing travel, stock markets and health care infrastructures. Even sporting events and concerts have been impacted.
Education is hardly immune.
However, that sector — particularly when it comes to higher education — has one big advantage. Students no longer have to physically go to the classroom thanks to today's technology.
They can go online.
And a number of law schools — both here and in China — are turning to a U.S. law school that's long been a leader in online learning, Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minn. It started the nation's first hybrid online J.D. program, for instance, and continues to innovate.
"The basic idea is we're sharing expertise we've built in the last 5 years about best practices, technological tools, assessments, course design, etc. with schools without much or any experience delivering online instruction who now suddenly are having to teach remotely," said Doug Belden, the school's assistant director of maketing.
Schools are switching to online to help thwart the spread of the virus. Those affected may not show symptoms initially and unknowingly pass it along.
New York Law School, for one, closed its school after a student came in contact with a New Rochelle attorney who had the virus. The student under went self-quarantine, and the school took pro-active actions, such as cleaning and disinfecting the campus.
Mitchell Hamline has already given advice to Peking University School of Transnational Law in Shenzen, China, which had reached out to the school earlier.
Amanda Soderlind, senior instructional designer at Mitchell Hamline, along with Blended Learning Director Kelly von Ruden and professor Leanne Fuith '10, conducted a remote training session via Zoom for faculty and administrators of the Chinese school.
The Chinese school requested the training when restrictions due to coronavirus forced their students to remain at home. The virus started in China and spread dramatically fast.
Soderlind, Von Ruden, and Fuith presented information and fielded questions about everything from the capabilities and uses of various technical tools to the pedagogical aspects of teaching online versus in person.
School of Transnational Law Dean Phil McConnaughay said the presentation "will prove instrumental in our efforts to transition next week to an entirely online program of instruction, likely to last at least several weeks because of COVID-19."
"I think that what we are seeing in China is unprecedented — millions of students at all levels, from primary school students to PhD students, will study or are studying online nationwide," said Christian Pangilinan, assistant dean of academic affairs at the School of Transnational Law. "Because the adoption of remote learning is occurring so rapidly, the opportunity to learn from Mitchell Hamline's expertise in blended and online learning was invaluable to helping us maintain the quality of our education."

Rowing doubles, rowing singles, meet para-rowers van der Meer and Koning
At the 2017 World Rowing Championships, Annike van der Meer and Corné de Koning stood on top of the podium. After less than one year of rowing together, the duo managed to clinch the gold medal, having already set the World Best Time at the world cup a few months earlier.
World Rowing caught up with Van der Meer and Koning to discuss their world of rowing.
The duo came to the sport of rowing in two very different ways. Van der Meer started out as an able-bodied ski racer. An accident damaged her leg and led to her disability. But van der Meer was determined. She eventually returned to the mountain as a para ski racer until a second accident damaged her good leg.
"My doctor told me that he wouldn't fix me anymore if I skied again and I thought this is a very good doctor, I shouldn't lose him. So, I stopped ski racing," van der Meer says. This eventually led her to find rowing, which she began in 2015. Just over a year later, she was paired with Koning.
Koning, who was born with one leg shorter than the other, had played wheelchair handball for years. But his athletic goals were aimed at the Paralympics and the hope of wheelchair handball becoming a Paralympic sport was slim. As a team-building activity, his team tried rowing. Koning fell in love.
"I had to do some little tests on the erg and some rowing on the water and I was like, wow, I really like this. My former coach at that moment was pretty impressed by the scores I could pull on the erg," Koning says. That put Koning on the path to a rowing career that would eventually lead to the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio, with then partner Esther van der Loos.
Following van der Loos' retirement, Koning and van der Meer were matched up and the two went on to become World Champions. They had to adapt to differences in height, arm span and strength, but according to Koning, there is no standard formula, it is just about learning to row together to make the boat go as fast as possible.
Van der Meer and Koning are also racing this year in the new para-rowing categories, the PR2 single sculls. They have been an important voice in pushing for the creation of these categories.
"By allowing the single you can develop more athletes and then more athletes can eventually go into the double. For us, the single is an extra challenge. It is good to take on new challenges because you have to keep working. It's one thing to go to the top, but it's a whole other thing to stay on top," says van der Meer.
In the end, though, both of them love racing as a team. "The racing in the double provides good mental support to know that there is somebody else in the boat kind of dying with you. That really helps you at the point you have in every race when you think, 'what am I doing here?' Then it's just good to know that there is somebody behind you with the same thought," says Koning.
The double won gold at the International Para-rowing Regatta in Gavirate, Italy followed by gold at the first World Rowing Cup of the season. They are entered at the second World Rowing Cup in both the double sculls and the single sculls.

At Wayfair, we are redefining the way our customers can shop for furniture & home goods, using cutting edge technologies and experiences. We are looking for self-starters with an entrepreneurial spirit, intellectual curiosity, and passion for driving digital solutions & services.
Who We Are
We are the team responsible for revolutionizing the imagery and experiences available to consumers. For ecommerce, images sell products, however the traditional method of creating images in a photo studio is time consuming and expensive. Wayfair is partnering with Google, Facebook, and other technology leaders to disrupt the retail space and shift the industry towards CGI & AR/VR, creating imagery and experiences for furniture and home goods at a grand scale for a fraction of the cost.
The team is in need of highly driven and motivated individuals; it is important that applicants are comfortable with constant change and rigorous prioritization of work. Applicants for the BD/AM role must be ready to work independently, develop strong long-lasting relationships with key stakeholders, optimize our sales processes, and drive big results.
Experience with both customer acquisition (i.e. closing) and customer success (i.e. supporting) of new accounts in a B2B service industry is strongly preferred. Strong, clear communication skills and relationship management experience are a must. Prior experience with 3D, CGI, or AR/VR is not required or preferred, but an interest in the intersection of technology and commerce is.
What You'll Do
- Identify key suppliers/target accounts and work cross-functionally and across levels to warm up and convert these leads into our fast-paced, fast-growing, tech-driven program. (No cold calling experience required.)
- Track and communicate client funnel generation to senior leadership and cross-functionally
- Creating project and program-level reports to summarize progress for stakeholders
- Build and maintain strong relationship with internal and external stakeholders to align on strategic growth initiatives with clients, 3D Operations, and Wayfair
- Attend 4-6 trade shows a year to close new accounts, pitch new targets, and strengthen existing supplier relationships. (Locations include Las Vegas, High Point NC, Dallas, and Chicago.)
- Desire to be a manager of people as the team is growing and there are opportunities for strong performers to have a management role
What You'll Need
- 4+ years experience or 2+ years post-MBA experience; 1+ years of people management experience is a plus
- Thrives in a high growth, entrepreneurial, and ambiguous environment; high degree of comfort with constant change
- Excellent organization, attention to detail, and time management skills in complex environments
- Deep-seated drive to deliver results and an infectious sense of accountability; evidence of "scrappy startup execution" and a "get it done" attitude when time is tight and stakes are high
- Proven experience and passion for working across functions and with C-level leaders, synthesizing multiple points of view and owning a coherent action plan, all while negotiating and influencing others
- Advanced Excel/Google Sheet skills needed; SQL and Tableau experience is a plus but not required
- Effective oral and written communication skills with the ability to tailor communication style based on the audience
- Positive attitude, sense of humor, and ability to laugh at us and yourself are pluses
You'd be a great fit if you're any combination of the following:
- You're a top performer at a top-tier tech/SaaS or furniture/home/retail company.
- You believe in failing fast, learning, testing and iterating.
- You're ambitious and routinely bite off more than you can chew.
- You're flexible, humble, and confident and are a stellar cross-functional partner across product and creative teams.
- No 3D experience necessary, but an interest in and experience with cutting edge technology is a plus.

2/13/18, Maine First Media Staff Report,
The Lewiston School Committee voted Monday to create a subcommittee to explore the idea of officially endorsing a piece of state legislation "recruiting, educating and retaining" a cheap, foreign workforce in Maine.
A Maine First Media contributor was in attendance and reported the committee members appeared, "blindsided by the measure." Our contributor suggested committee members seemed unprepared for the discussion. Which could explain the move to create a subcommittee to further investigate the possibility of officially supporting LD 1492.
There was some debate about abstaining from endorsing the bill altogether before ultimately deciding on the creation of a subcommittee.
The Lewiston school district is struggling, sitting near the bottom of the state rankings.
In fact, Lewiston School District ranks 168th out of 172 in the state. SchoolDigger.com awards the district zero stars.
Making it curious why the school committee is focusing on RINO Sen. Roger Katz' controversial bill proposing to spend millions of your tax dollars on adult education and job-search assistance for immigrants and refugees, a new Foreign Welcome Center and the creation of a cabinet position of "Office of New Mainers."
Stay with Maine First Media will for details on the meeting, including video.

It's a conversation starter to which I found myself in part agreeing, but . . .The beauty of Morris' work is how she takes the reader along in a dialogue. Her style is chatty, loose and engaging. And there's humour:
But it is its limitations that makes this book valuable and rare. It reveals so much about how to soldier on in your 90s. Old age is not for sissies and Morris is a trouper, keeping faith with the writing life. It is remarkable to be writing a book at 91, yet what grips is not so much her thoughts about the world (towards which she turns and turns away) but her sense of the rhythms of domestic life...If there is some retreading of turf, this fits the book's diurnal structure: the same things come round again. The nature of patriotism. Welshness. The troubling state of the world. And she ends by describing (not for the first time) the consolations of a bowl of mussels and a good glass of white wine by the sea. Cheers, Jan!
Morris aficionados will not find much new material here since some stories are reheated from earlier work. By her own admission, her writing degenerates into "rambling" and "talking nonsense", but then few nonagenarians have written 50 books to such an acclaimed standard.
Her cheerfulness and passion are still to the fore and, for her, the "ultimate virtue of kindness" remains a leitmotif, but the energy and inventiveness that characterises Morris's writing capturing the genius loci is missing. There is an absence of any insight into the present world turmoil or of a light being shone on turbulent times.
it is a thing of wonder: a diary of daily musings with zero pretension. It is light yet profound, ecstatic yet melancholy, ethereal yet droll. Which writer could breezily contain so many contradictions, like Tiresias with jokes? ...Old age has been kind to her. It sounds a pain to live through, but stylistically it's great. She is more nimble and friendly on the page than ever, a little afflicted by exclamation marks, yes, but with a heightened perspective.

It has been an anticipated date, the launch of the all-new Nissan Navara. The 2016 International Pick-Up of the Year, and it arrived last week on the fairest Cape, and on the dunes of the West Coast. Nissan is a company that specialises in pick-ups, its in their DNA, and historically they have made them well. Always counted in the top three bakkies in SA, the Navara has lost a lot of traction on the local market by being absent for so long.
Toyota Hilux & Ford Ranger rule the roost now and there a number of other contenders right behind, such as Isuzu and Triton. However, the Navara has always been a proper bakkie, not a pretender, it hasn't been known as Rugged for nothing. So it certainly looks the part, tough enough, without having to be tougherrer, as some competitors are aspiring to. It has been a workhorse in the past, but to fit in with its able competition, it has to bring more to the table now. It has to essentially drive almost like a car, and be as comfortable as well.
Thanks to its award winning coil spring five link rear suspension, this goes a long way to being the case with the Navara.
How it looks?
But we start with how it looks, based on its next generation V-motion chrome grille which flows into the creased bonnet and is resolved on the tailgate, which features a stamped V-motif. In side profile the Navara looks sporty with the new creases & folds, which are above the huge door fenders. With a 20mm lower roof and a blacked out B-pillar, side steps & rear privacy glass it paints a pretty picture. But the butch nature of the Navara is enhanced by 16 inch alloys on its low grade and 18inch on the High grade model.
Comments from colleagues about the rear of the Navara is that it looks very much like the older model, probably due to the Navara smile crease in the tailgate. With a capacity of 1061 L it has the biggest loadbox to date. Load carrying capacity has also been upgraded significantly. The new Navara can carry up to 1 002kg, depending on specification level, and thanks to its powerful new engine it can tow a braked trailer of up to 3 500kg.
The ground clearance of 229 mm seems to be a little short of what is needed, however going over steep dunes in the West Coast area did not lead to it hanging up on the dune faces. And the departure angles (27.9 degrees was also good enough that we did not take a front bumper off), when exiting a steep dune face.
Comfort in the Cabin?
I liked the bigger doors that allow easy access to the Navara. And the seats are comfortable as well. The brand-new cockpit design centres on the touch-screen infotainment and navigation system that is standard equipment across the range. Electrically operated rear window is cool. It has automatic dimming rear view mirror, auto LED headlights & 7 airbags for safety.
Does it have the Power?
Coming in three double cab models, with Mid or High specification and six-speed manual or seven-speed auto transmission. The Navara has the 140kw Twin-Turbo 2.3L diesel engine powering it. I found this engine to be responsive and had plenty of grunt- 450nm torque. However I much preferred the auto variant as the changes were smooth and in sync. The manual transmission seemed unsure and it also seemed to make the Navara a bit wallowy on the road.
Fuel consumption in a combined cycle has been claimed at 6.5 litres per 100km, allowing for a range of over 1 000km on a full 80 litre fuel tank. The award-winning coil, five link rear suspension, in the auto variant really works well, and the Navara felt smooth and easy to handle, even on a gravel road at speeds where it should have been tail happy. This was the case with the manual version though, and my choice would be a definite auto.
The 4×4 section of our route was enjoyable, and the conversion from 2H to 4H or 4L is done at the turn of a button, up to 100km/h which is very convenient. There were no awkward moments of getting stuck, and diff lock was not engaged. As long as you keep momentum you are golden. In four-wheel drive mode, either High or Low, the new Navara will engage its new Active Brake Limited Slip Differential system (ABLS). This electronic system actively manages power delivery and wheel braking between the front and rear axles and between the left and right of the vehicle, depending on traction and speed.
The High-spec models also add Hill-start Assist (HSA) and Hill Descent Control (HDC) as standard features, and they, too, are connected to the ABLS-system when present.
The Navara comes with a full rrange of optional accessories and these can be tailored as your pocket allows.
The Navara will fit back into the bakkie fray with aplomb, and it should be on drivers list to purchase. I have always enjoyed Nissan pick-ups, and for me it was not a disappointment, however, there is a lot of competition out there and it depends on how much marketing Nissan do to keep it top of mind for buyers.
Nissan Assured warranty includes a mechanical warranty for 6 years or 150 000km and a comprehensive 3-year / 90 000km service plan.

Had a great response from last week's column with regards to our Auction and a very successful sale it was too.
Things that sold well ranged from Hippodrome programmes, maps, and the most random of items like paperweights and tram accident books.
So on the 'Random' subject, this week I have included photos of some items that have already been earmarked for our next sale on Tuesday 31 July.
The first picture is a school photo from the late 1920s/early 1930s and on the back it says 'Varndean?'.
I think they were originally based at York Place in Brighton… but the photo was taken in a large garden or play area
I think they were originally based at York Place in Brighton… but the photo was taken in a large garden or play area on the corner of Pevensey Road and Fairlight Place. In the second photo I have tried to enlarge the road sign in the corner, which is attached to Fairlight School in Fairlight Place (anyone with any more info, I would love to hear from you).
The next picture is a part-used pack of tickets for the West Pier Concert Hall in the early to mid 1960s for the 'Olde Tyme' Musical, with a table seat costing 6/6 (32 and a half pence in new money). Bargain!
The last item shown is a scale model of the old Hove Railway Signal Box. Don't ask how, what or where as I don't know but I think you will all agree – how very random!
If you think you have any random items on Brighton and Hove for the next Auction or the shop email me email@example.com

Bryceland On A Charge, On The Podium And On The Way To US With World Cup Title In Reach11th AUG 2014
Santa Cruz Syndicate rider Josh Bryceland continued his time in the limelight with another podium at UCI Downhill World Cup #5 in Mont- Sainte-Anne (CAN) on Saturday, August 2nd.
Now 24, the former Junior World Champion has finally found the consistent form we've all known he's capable of. His 2nd place in Canada comes off the back of a National Champs win in Innerleithen (GBR) and World Cup win in Leogang (AUT).
Bryceland's run of 4:11:807 aboard the new Syndicate V10 race bike propels him to 2nd in the overall World Cup standings, with 757 points.
"I had a cracking top section, then got a bit fatigued, and made a couple of mistakes," snorted Josh from the finish line. "But to still come in and finish 2nd on a new bike feels amazing."
Greg Minnaar, the current back-to-back World Champion, suffered a series of tough crashes during the race day practice, but dug deep to score a 7th place run, and hold on to 6th in the overall.
"I had a big crash in practice. I was hurting a bit in finals so I tried to ride smooth and I'm happy to come in 7th," admitted Minnaar.
Steve Peat also battled injuries and had the added pain of missing luggage, but still finished 21st with a 4:20:429, improving his overall rank to 16th.
"I really struggled in practice with arm pump, but it was great to work with the guys from Fox to get my new bike dialed and it felt amazing in my final run," explained the big Yorkshireman. "I managed to stay strong to the finish line. I'm happy."
The riders are now prepping for the final two World Cup races of the season in Windham (USA) and Méribel (FRA) on 7-9 and 21-23 August respectively.

The controversial question had been posed: Should we continue to sell and use plastic water bottles? Grade 6 students gathered in Lindsay Silbereisen's Science classroom in early January and began to present evidence and analysis to support either side of the argument during their first Socratic seminar. The Seminar examined controversial environmental topics and utilized elements students had practiced in their History and English classes. The preparation with their CEA - claim, evidence, analysis, is related to their English book club reflections and respective job roles and the inner/outer circle is similar to a style used in a recent History class debate.
According to readwritethink.org, "The Socratic seminar is a formal discussion, based on a text, in which the leader asks open-ended questions. Within the context of the discussion, students listen closely to the comments of others, thinking critically for themselves, and articulate their own thoughts and their responses to the thoughts of others."
On Wednesday, January 8, the inner circle consisted of Lance DiBenedetto, Kayla Barta, Elizabeth Abbott, Hayden Sutherland and Eric Seagran. Their partners, Kendi Mwenda, Gillian Lehneis, Sophia Santomaro, Nikolas Nikeas, and Benji Hugon completed the outer circle. The evidence presented ranged from scientific facts on water usage to thoughtfully articulated opinions on a world existing with/without plastic. The inner circle participants shared their claim and evidence and were graded based on their listening and speaking/participating skills and the outer circle was responsible for taking notes on their partner using the Cornell system, a format for condensing and organizing class notes.
Pros and cons from the seminar included:
Pro 1: Banning bottled water would reduce waste and protect the environment.
Con 1: Banning bottled water removes a healthy choice and leads to increased consumption of unhealthy sugary drinks.
Pro 2: Banning bottled water would protect local water supplies.
Con 2: Banning bottled water restricts consumers' access to a product they want, and negatively affects small businesses.
Pro 3: Banning bottled water would save money, and public water fountains are convenient and plentiful.
Con 3: Bottled water is a practical emergency water supply.
The class provides students with opportunities to present their research and engage in real-life debates with respect and collaboration. Lance provided research that showed 93% of Americans think that bottled water should be available and 30% won't have another source to go to if it is eliminated. Also, he added, that according to World Bank in 2017, the cost of clean water is 150 billion/year. That can buy a lot of plastic bottled water. "I enjoy discussing wide-spread issues in today's society, along with hearing the ideas and opinions of my fellow students. The seminar was a fun and interactive experience," comments Lance.
Kayla enjoyed the seminar because students were not limited to what they could and couldn't say. "I learned that both sides of the argument had very good reasons to support their side. This type of lesson helped me to better understand the issues not only because we got to hear multiple points of view, but also everyone had something slightly different to add. Also we weren't just given the information. We had to conduct research and work to find the information to support each side, which was definitely more challenging."

|Topkapi Palace
|Hagia Sophia
|Blue Mosque
Sultanahmet is famous for its meatballs. That and the magnificient Hagia Sophia church, Topkapi Palace commanding the Bosphorus and the amazingly beautiful Blue Mosque. And the Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, Archeology Museum, Great Palace Mosaic Museum and the carpet salesmen though their numbers are decreasing. It is extremely multinational, beautiful with its gardens and open spaces, easy with its cafes, relaxing under the shade of the trees decorating its side streets. And then busy again with bus loads of tourists. Sultanahmet is both part of Istanbul and the whole world.
In the 1960s not many tourists came. And those who visited the city were the hippies mostly from Europe and the US, They stayed in cheap dirty hotel rooms, were fed free by caring restaurant owners and they smoked. That was like 1960's everywhere in the West, Sultanahmet was the place of the West at those times. Istanbul residents avoided Sultanahmet.
In 1963 James Bond (Sean Connery) came to Istanbul with the now classic With Love From Russia. It was that same year after starting "nouveau roman" movement in France, Alain Robbe Grillet came to Istanbul to shoot his beautiful "L'Immortelle". What a wonderful experience to see Istanbul in old movies as so much has changed since then.
And there was a Sultanahmet prison where most famous socialist political prisoners and some of the greatest figures of not only of Turkish literature but also the world literature like Nazim Hikmet were held. Nowadays that prison is converted to a luxury international hotel.
Times have sure changed but Sultanahmet is as beautiful as always. You can stay here to immerse yourself in history or to avoid tourists you can stay elsewhere in Istanbul and visit during day time. It depends absolutely how tourist intolerant you are but Sultanahmet surely is one of the best places to stay in Istanbul.

Rosie O'Donnell may be coming back to day time television…she may be coming back to The View! You know Sherri Shepherd & Jenny McCarthy are leaving and Barbra Walters already left earlier in the season…so Whoopi Goldberg is the only one left. I hope they bring back Rosie O'Donnell! She was hilarious. We may just find out today if she will be returning or not…
According to TMZ, Beyonce's Dad, Matthew Knowles has been sued by another woman claiming that he got her pregnant back in 2010.He was a busy man around that time because that is the same year Tina Knowles filed for a divorce because he was cheating. Well now this 30 year old woman wants a DNA test, a declaration of paternity and child support. I hope he has gotten some new clients after Beyonce because he is going to need the money
Yesterday, there was a rumor that Donald Sterling was on the run because he's not ready to face what's to come next in his trial; however his attorney said that Donald is right down the street and ready to go to court when he gets an order from the judge to go to the building. Shelly Sterling's lawyer started the rumor of course….kinda petty but he is supposed to be going back to court today around 5:30 so hopefully we'll find out what's going on with the sell of the Clippers. Oh yeah, & his doctor announced that it looks like he may have Alzehiermers disease after all.
Have you guys seen the memes on social media that showed cartoon characters and Kermit asking if "that was fireworks or gun shots?" Well while we find those posts funny, people living in Chicago really had to ask that question! As of yesterday, there were 82 different shootings and 14 deaths this past holiday weekend. Crazy right? Chicago's police superintendent blames the weak gun laws…we have to do better America. Rest in Peace to those victims.
So what do you all think, Is Lebron James going back to the Cavaliers or what? I hope that we find out soon what where he he's going to end up.
Have you all been keeping up the "90s: The last Great Decade?" on the National Geographic Channel? Well tonight is the last night of the 3day documentary. It comes on at 9:00pm Eastern Time.
