Chromium's "trivial" subdomains: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=881410
This seems awfully shortsighted.
@fribbledom @ibagail Even regardless of security its just a really fuarking dumb thing to do, AND its been implemented poorly and inconsistently.
If I have layer01.www.www.m.layer02.www.p7.co.nz that will get shortened to layer01.layer02.p7.co.nz
@tA @fribbledom yeah i read the thread and that shit looks UH OH
@tA @fribbledom
Why does the presence or absence of the www make a difference? Are there websites not on the web?
The same domain name with and without "www." can technically point to two different internet addresses. It's not often the case, but when it's the case this becomes confusing and potentially misleading from a security perspective.
@fribbledom @ibagail @tA That's as far as I understood before you began explaining. Why is this allowed?
@DialMforMara @fribbledom @ibagail Because google are annoying and large enough that they can do what they like I guess :/
@tA @fribbledom @ibagail ...google isn't in charge of the Internet? I'd've thought it was someone with broader interests like the W3C
@DialMforMara @tA @fribbledom @ibagail google's decision that https preferred and to flag http as 'insecure' on chrome is a big part of why so many sites have switched to https
Like regardless of if you think they were right about that decision or not, the fact is that through chrome and google search google controls traffic to enough of the web that it's hard to stand up to them. They've done it before & they can do it again
@DialMforMara @fribbledom @ibagail @tA Same reason that anke.tumblr.com and mara.tumblr.com are allowed to be different: They have different subdomains. One is 'www', one is '' (empty string)
@Anke @fribbledom @ibagail @tA So the problem is that www does not have the privileged status that everyone thinks it does.
I have a feeling it would be easier to change that fact than to change public awareness. How do we go about it?
@DialMforMara @Anke @fribbledom @ibagail We can't really
@DialMforMara hmm, i never thought about it like that, but I guess you're right- there is a public misconception about the meaning of subdomains!
In Google's opinion, the www. subdomain is "optional" or "implied", which is why this whole thing is happening, apparently.
@ibagail it's the vermiform appendix of the internet
it even looks vermiform: www
@DialMforMara @ibagail @fribbledom
so technically, the www. in front of a website is just a subdomain, like how layer13.p7.co.nz is, and www.website.com and website.com can be two completely different websites, even run by different people in some cases
@tA @ibagail @fribbledom yeah, I got that far on my own, but why is that allowed and/or not prevented?
Are you talking about the technical possibility to point these to two different addresses, or what the Chrome devs are doing?
@fribbledom @tA @ibagail I want to know why it's possible for those two addresses to point to different places. You'd think there'd be some technical reason why they wouldn't, or that the W3C would attempt to put their foot down
@DialMforMara @fribbledom @ibagail Its no different to how docs.google.com and drive.google.com can be different websites, its just that public perception of what www. means isn't exactly correct, and now google are changing chrome in a way that perpetrates that false perception even more
Well, as the domain owner / DNS operator you can configure your DNS to respond in anyway you please. "www" is just a subdomain like every other.
The better question is: why did we ever start to prefix websites with a subdomain "www", when the service is already differentiated by the TCP port.
Legacy reasons I guess, the web was always an afterthought (and hence running on a separate server with its own IP) and not the primary goal of the Internet.
@fribbledom @tA @ibagail so were there enumerated alternatives to www that named different domain spaces, or as it anything goes and this one just caught on?
@DialMforMara @fribbledom @ibagail Anything goes. having www. is just a trend from the earlier world wide web, so people have kept it because of the perception that a website needs it
Anything goes, and with the commercialization of the web it became the de-facto standard.
Something prefixed with a "www." was immediately recognizable as a website address to everyone, and they could get rid of the "ugly" http:// in their ads.
@fribbledom @tA @ibagail speaking of http://, are there other transfer protocols still in use on the internet, and do they ever show up in urls?
More than you would think. You don't usually see them, since they are mostly implied by the program you use, but here are a few examples:
ftp:// irc:// gopher:// smtp:// imap:// ...
There are literally thousands of established protocols, which are all based on TCP or UDP, but the average user will only ever hear about http and maybe ftp.
@fribbledom @DialMforMara @tA @ibagail And under most systems with app marketplaces now, you've got bespoke app-specific protocols flying around for data transmission, like the Win 10 UWP Twitter app registering twitter:// URLs for opening stuff directly in their app.
@fribbledom @tA @ibagail I've heard of ftp, and xkcd makes gopher jokes occasionally. Can I assume irc:// is what IRC runs on?
@DialMforMara @fribbledom @ibagail Things like that are just shorthand for "Open this URL in whatever app you have listed under 'irc'", rather than a protocol they run off
@dax @fribbledom @ibagail @DialMforMara Yes, but only ever for my completely legal Linux ISO downloads and nothing else
@tA @dax @fribbledom @ibagail I've been scared of torrenting ever since I applied for a government job in college
How did that work out for you?
@DialMforMara @dax @fribbledom @ibagail ALWAYS WATCHING
@tA @dax @fribbledom @ibagail come to think of it, a lot of my decisions over the last six to eight years have been shaped by forlorn hopes of employability.
I'm gonna dye my hair at some point, but I want to know I won't need to look "respectable" for an interview
@DialMforMara @dax @fribbledom @ibagail I wear jandals every single day to work if that helps
@tA @dax @fribbledom @ibagail jandal = ...jean sandal?
@DialMforMara @tA @dax @ibagail
I see where you're coming from. Personally, I've decided that I would not want to work for an employer who hires people based on their looks. It's a filter that works both ways.
@DialMforMara are you asking why both versions (with www. and without) are "allowed" to map to different locations? if so, i like barely know this from a class i'm in right now, but basically people came up with all this stuff when the concept of networks, much less the internet, were known only to a few! so they didn't necessarily know that so many domains would use the www. subdomain
@ibagail what other subdomains were there originally supposed to be at the same level as www?
@ibagail and are URLs that don't use www outside the World Wide Web?
@DialMforMara i don't really know about "originally" (or your other question- I'VE BEEN IN NETWORKING CLASS FOR 3 WEEKS SORRY AAA. but my professor casually said he used to own the domain for purdue.edu (my school)- he just had it first! eventually the school people came to his office and negotiated with him

Growing Coco plums
- Written by: Norman
- Category: Planting Fruit Trees
- Published: November 17, 2017
One of nature's wonders
Coco plums are one of nature's wonders, this plant can be grown and maintained either as a hedge which is formal or informal letting it take off and grow or even as a tree.
Coco plums is a native of Florida, the Caribbean of which I am a part of and also Latin America. Coco plums are very delicious and have a sweet taste.
The international airport where I am employed grows these plums throughout its landscape and gardens which I oversee. When the season comes to harvest many of the airport's staff can be seen walking about in the parking lots and garden areas picking and feasting upon these plums.
Coco plums hardiness
What makes this plant so amazing is the many purposes they serve. Beside being growing for its fruits and use as a hedge, coco plums can be found along beaches and coastal areas for its ability to withstand the salt sprays and high winds.
Some species of coco plums has red tips on the leaves which can be a show stopper if plants are properly maintained. The fruits of coco plums are either light yellow-whiteish or dark purple.
Growing coco plums
1. Choose a location that gets 6-8 hours of sunlight.
2. Use organic or good a garden soil. A soil ph of 6.6-6.4 is ideal.
3. The planting hole should be large enough so the root ball can slide in easily, in other words, the planting hole should be two times the width of the root ball.
4. Though coco plums are considered to be drought tolerant it is good to keep soil somewhat moist not waterlogged or extremely wet.
5. The use of an organic fertilizer can work wonders.
Transplanting coco plum
From my experience of transplanting coco plums, these plants in some instants can have a hard time bouncing back once transplanted. Care should be taken during transplanting procedures.
Make sure that most of the roots remain attached to your plant, dig hole wide enough so roots sit comfortably and use an organic soil or good a garden soil.
Remove about a third of the top growth so your plant can establish faster and keep the soil somewhat moist, don't allow the soil to dry out completely and in no time, your plant will be established.
Coco plums pest
The main pest problem that I have come across is whiteflies that can also cause the onset of sooty mold. Treating with insecticidal soap sprays or and organic insecticide has proven to be beneficial.
Coca plum jelly
Coca plum jelly makes a good treat, here is how it is done. In a medium-size pot add 1 1/2 cup of coco plums, add 1 pound of brown sugar then fill the pot with water till water covers coco plums next turn on the stove.
Bring coco plums to a boil and turn down the heat, after 2 1/2 to 3 hours remove from heat and add some cinnamon. The end result is this mixture should form a light brown jelly.
The final Word
Coco plums are great to have as apart of your garden feature so install some of these plants and reap the benefits they have to offer as they serve you in so many ways.

Sweet Nothings
Nothing gets nutritionists more aroused than artificial sweeteners. The internet is full of websites spewing a toxic mix of hatred and misinformation, run by all manner of strange people; but very few of them scientists, and very few of them able to make any sense of the data they have. I don't really want to start another flame war but if aspartame…

From a report: While that may not make every underpowered laptop VR ready, it certainly makes staying macOS-only more palatable for some power users. Another notable addition is Business Chat in Messages for users in the US. Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and others have tweaked their services to enable customer service linkups and now Apple has its version available on the desktop. With it, you can interact with business representatives or even make purchases. Other tweaks include waiting for the user to select login fields before autofilling password information in Safari, a smoke cloud wallpaper that had previously been restricted to the iMac Pro and a Safari shortcut for jumping to the rightmost tab by pressing Command-9.

Rav Yisroel Hager, eldest son of the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Bnei Brak, delivered a fiery shmuess in honor the beginning of the spring/summer zeman to bochurim at the Vizhnitzer Yeshiva in Brachfeld.
Rav Hager delivered divrei chizuk and hisorerus and discussed ways for the bochurim to strengthen themselves in ruchniyus.
Rav Hager sharply attacked the Israeli chareidi daily newspapers, specifically telling the boys "not to read 'Hamevaser,' 'Hamodia,' etc."
He also said that bochurim should not possess cell phones which can do great spiritual damage to them, and he added that there is an absolute issur to go to Miron on Lag Ba'omer [because of what goes on there -ed.].
He related that everything he was saying was in the name of his father, the Rebbe.
Following his drasha, the hundreds of bochurim greeted him personally and also wished him mazle tov on his 65th birthday, which fell on Monday.

Soundgarden Flesh Out Summer Tour Plans, Announce More Canadian Dates
Published May 05, 2011A couple of weeks back, grunge gods Soundgarden announced a measly total of four summer tour dates, including a stop at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on July 2. Considering the sunny season is prime time for gigging, it would seem a shame for the reunited rockers to skimp out on a fuller schedule. Clearly, the band agree; they have just announced a pile of added shows.
The trip still kicks off in Toronto, but the band will hang out in Canada for at least a couple more days throughout the month, with appearances in London, Ottawa and Vancouver spicing up their schedule. Also, there are several more U.S. stops.
As if catching Chris Cornell and co. wailing on "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Black Hole Sun" wasn't enough, the group will be bringing some top-notch opners on the road with them as well. Depending on which city you're in, you can catch opening sets from either Coheed and Cambria, the Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age, country-grunge icons the Meat Puppets or prog-metal outfit Mastodon. You can check out the details below.
Thanks to 107.7 The End for the tip.
UPDATE: Soundgarden have added another Canadian date in Calgary on July 27 with the Meat Puppets to open.

Recipe | One Tray Fish Dish
This simple and delicious recipe is courtesy of Jana from The MacPherson Diaires.
In this wintery one-pan dish I have roasted the vegetables and added the fish on top near the end. It's such a great, simple way to cook fish and is light on dishes. You can prep the veg in the morning before going to work and then just pop them in to cook when you get home. Add the fish, and serve 5 mins later straight from the baking dish. Easy!
A few tips for this recipe:
- Use any in-season vegetables that you enjoy
- Cut the vegetables so that they cook at a similar speed. Here the red onion are smaller than the cauliflower for instance.
- If you aren't sure of cooking times you can keep each variety slightly separate in the dish, then you can take some out while cooking if one vegetable is ready sooner than another. But I encourage you to give it a whirl all mixed up, you can do it .
- Don't overcrowd the dish. Leave a little space around the vegetables so that they roast and don't steam.
- 1 Head of Garlic
- 1 Red Onion
- ½ Head of Cauliflower
- 8 Brussel Sprouts
- 4 Capsicum / Sweet Peppers
- 500 grams Fish Fillets (not too thick; Gurnard, Tarakihi, Sole or Perch)
- Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 Lemon
- 6 Tbsp Whole Egg Mayonnaise
- Fresh Herbs (I used Rosemary & Oregano)
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius
- Cut the onion into wedges
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and then each floret in half
- Cut the brussel sprouts in half
- Core the capsicum and remove seeds and slice into wedges
- Cut the garlic and lemon in half horizontally
- Place all your vegetables on a baking dish and season and drizzle with olive oil. Put the lemon and garlic on the tray cut side down. Top with fresh herbs.
- Roast your vegetables until 95% done
- Take out your lemon and squeeze the juice and mix it with your mayo
- Take the tray of veg out of the oven, switch the oven to grill and pump up the heat to 220 degrees
- Season your fish and lay the fillets over the vegetables in one layer
- Drizzle sparingly with olive oil
- Place back under the grill, and cook until the fish is done! Approx. 3-5 mins will be enough
- Take out of the oven, squeeze with fresh lemon juice & serve with the lemon mayo!

The brief was to leverage Pepsi's sponsorship of the ICC CWC 2015, leading with the Pepsi Max brand, and give both consumers and Frucor customers engaging brand experiences leading up to and during the tournament.
To build hype in the months ahead of the event, we developed a media partnership with NZME's Alternative Commentary Collective that saw a series of humorous videos created and shared across NZME and Pepsi digital and social properties during the international series that preceded the tournament. Consumers got to make suggestions for an additional video with the best idea being produced by the ACC and the winner getting to attend the semi-final at Eden Park. The videos were also utilised on the big screens at ICC CWC 2015 matches.
During the tournament itself our activity revolved around the Pepsi Max Pavilion, an exclusive grandstand installed at Eden Park for all matches at the venue. We hosted Frucor customers, on-pack promotion winners and a range of other VIPs and influencers. Activities in the Pavilion ranged from cricket trivia quizzes to performances by comedians in the innings breaks.

Slices of life: Universal parenting truths 2.0
I've written about universal parenting truths before (2015), but there are so many of them, it warrants a second column (and perhaps even a third). There are simply some things we all experience as parents (and often don't talk about because they are embarrassing or uncomfortable or maybe we are just too busy to chat).
Here are 10:
Number one:
It will always be a frenzy getting out the door. Especially when you have to be somewhere at a certain time and even more especially if you are going to a school concert or church or visiting your in-laws. This will be the exact time that one child can't find his left shoe while another can't find her right. You also will inexplicably not be able to locate your phone or car keys or both. Accept the chaos and realize being late is not the end of the world.
The box is often more interesting than the toy inside it, especially if you are two years old. Go with it. Run with it. He or she will play with the expensive toy eventually, and probably break it quicker than the box. For now, sing praises to the simplicity of the magical and mysterious cardboard box, as have parents generations before you.
Their firsts are sometimes your lasts (or at least it feels that way). The first day of kindergarten. First prom. First steps. Them taking the car on their own for the first time. The first sleepover. The first letter of acceptance from college. As proud as you are, a little bit of you dies with each first because it is gradually rendering your job inessential – or so it seems. Don't fret. You will never be inessential, even when they are 30.
Anxiety is the norm and it never gets better. Oh boy, is this true. Look above to the taking the car for the first time or walking up the big steps of the kindergarten bus. You worry like you've never known worry ever, ever in the past and it doesn't let up. It continues, I believe, into perpetuity, and that's a good thing. Confounding, I know.
You're never ready for them to grow up. You might think you are ready. You might be ready to be ready – to be an empty nester with winters spent somewhere warm – but the thought of them being grow up and independent from you still stings. You will miss the days of boo boos and tears and your toddler sons thinking they are going to marry their mama. You'll even miss the sleep deprivation – well, maybe not, but you might.
On the flip side, even though you aren't ready for them to grow up, you'll realize that being friends with your adult child is better than you ever could have imagined. True, I promise.
If they are three and want to poop naked while sitting backwards on the toilet you should avoid a power struggle and let them poop naked as backwards as that might seem. As long as they do it on the toilet you are the winner.
Teenage boys can eat a lot. There's not much more to say on this topic, but if you have a bundle of hamburger in the freezer saved for Thursday night's dinner, don't be surprised if your 18-year-old son finds it and makes the world's biggest quesadilla in the history of the world. He needs the protein. You can always order pizza.
If you give one of them a $20 dollar bill to get two or three items from the dollar menu, don't expect change. The change has simply ceased to exist. It dissipated somewhere between the drive-through and your driveway. It's one of the yet-to-be explained axioms of parenthood: the mystery of money and the dollar menu. Trust me.
It all goes much, much too fast. At breakneck speed. Survivors and in-laws tell you this but hardly anyone listens. Try to listen. It goes much, much too fast. It really does. And like a short paragraph, I'll leave it at that.
Last words? Love them and then love them again. They will grow up – even though this teething thing is making the late nights very, very extremely and confoundingly long. It will end all too soon. So don't stress about the universal parenting truths. Instead, take comfort in knowing you aren't the only one.
Far from it.

I'm passionate about building a strongly connected and mindful fellow network through deep listening and understanding to empower and cultivate the potential of people that I connect with.
I have a genuine desire in developing a mindful living and working community in which every member lives in an understanding, harmonious and loving environment and helps each other to be their true selves, to develop their best potential and to contribute to the reaching of common goals.
Known as a 'chief' in the organizations I have worked with since 2011, I have risen within the ranks to reach a managerial level at a young age in corporate in Vietnam, such as TMG and Openasia Group. I have achieved this by inspiring and rallying my co-workers to use their potential to their fullest extent to build high-performing teams. I realize that high-performing team cannot be formed without building true understanding, compassion and trust among the members and that the well-being of the team is equally important to its achievement of meeting targets.
Leadership is not about being the 'boss', it is about supporting and nurturing the well-being of, the talents in and the positive energies among all members to go together in long run and to reach the common goals as a team. It is this philosophy that drives the interaction that I have with people daily. Whether they are my work colleagues, gym buddies, friends and family members, I aim to inspire them to be the best they can.
After the 18 months in Paris of work pause, of sharp focus on expanding upon my knowledge on business strategy and vision at IÉSEG School of Management, and above all of looking deeply into myself, I have decided to take the next stride in my career trajectory by re-joining the Vietnamese market and by indulging my passion in my hometown.
Since "writing enables you to figure out what you are really thinking and really feeling" (*), I would like to use my blog posts to mark and share impressions, musings and learnings that I have encountered thus far on my journey for myself and also with the hope of sharing and igniting readers. Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts with me.

LE MEME: 3 lies
Take this one and run with it: can you think of 3 lies you've told? BLOG IT but share it in comments here first!
1. When I was 16 we lived in a college town and the state drinking age was 18. When asked by a liquor store owner if I was 18, I said 'sure I am!' as I bought a load of wine and spirits for my friends....my word was good and off I went to share the joy.
2. Years ago 2 missionaries of some type were on the door step. I wanted them to go away, so I lied and said 'we're Jewish!'. You could see they were all excited at the prospect of a REALLY BIG CONVERSION like that, and they did not readily go away.
3. When we moved from New Hampshire, we told everyone we were moving to Florida because of the drug dealers on our street who we were always calling the police on: we didn't want anybody to know where we were going, not our honest neighbors or even our realtor.

Lies, lies, lies...hmmm...
I despise lying. It's the one thing that drives me crazy! However, I have done it.
1. Lied about how far along I was on a project at work.
2. Lied to my parents about where I was (thousand years ago, but nothing BAD).
3. "Yes, that was fabulous."
Oh, and TAG - you're it!

Only 3? Honey, I have that many before breakfast most mornings.

The "we're Jewish" thing has always worked for me.. and it's not even a lie. I see them go right past my house when they're working the street. You must have more ambitious missionaries in the U.S. ;)
- October 17, 2008 at 10:02 AM
- Gary's third pottery blog said...
I admire the courage of any missionary. These were the folks with the WatchTower. I wouldn't be able to walk down the street knocking on doors of strangers for ANY reason! But I suppose you would feel God is on your shoulder and walking with you. But I generally feel people should be honest, even then, and NOW I would say politely and firmly NO THANKS. Speaking of those drug dealers on our old street, two young Mormon women came knocking one day and I WARNED THEM about that house. I told them to go to another street.

I guess I've just told the normal lies like how old I was in order to get in a pub when I was 17. Lying about why I wasn't coming in to work and of course the basic 'who I was with and where I was going'...lie.
*Celeste - you never let us down! lol

I kinda look back at Kate at 17 in the pub and me at 16 in the liquor store (and fraternity parties and at the Villager bar....)----things were DIFFERENT THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And a NY driver's license, which nobody asked to see until I was way past 21, was a little slip of PAPER with your name, DOB height and weight--no photo or anything.
Nowadays? I have UP TO one drink a day. I am old.

1) Seeing as how I looked younger than I was, this would never have worked for me.
2) I've found that just saying "We're active in our church and happy there. Thanks, but goodbye" and closing the door works pretty well. That part is true. Or, we just hide and don't answer the door. (Is it bad that I've taught my kids that one by example, too?)
3) Very Important Lie. And very nice of you to warn the missionaries.

Missionaries once asked me if I'd heard the word of God and I said yes, and He said Guiding Light is on in ten minutes. I've since switched to General Hospital.
I lied to my mother once, big time, and still feel bad about it.

So let me get this straight:
You've lied to get booze, lied to servants of God, and lied to save yourselves from drug lords?
Cool. Add these three to the list of reasons I like you.

Jeez, I've lied a lot. To get away from people, to get liquor, to keep from hurting feelings, and so on.
We had Jehovah's Witnesses at our door once. I spoke with them for a few minutes, let them give me a couple magazines, and told them to have a nice day. Then when my atheist roommate came home we went through the magazines and picked it apart. Not what they had in mind but at least we talked about it.

I lied a lot as a teenager to get away with stuff... but I can't remember anything specific. I'm not much of a liar myself... unless it's to prevent hurting someone's feelings. :)

Ok, I am a very good liar. We had a game we played at a women's retreat. Kind of a 'what's my line' thing. Three of us up there, one had won an Oscar, and we all had to claim it and say why. I won..everyone voted for me. NO one voted for the real winner.
So three lies,
1. Once told a teacher I had a terminal illness.
2. Found a quarter when I was a kid, and lied that I had not seen it when the poor slob who dropped it asked around for it. (back then, you could buy a LOT of penny candy with a quarter!)
3. I lie on my driver's license every time I renew it.

#1, I never tried the liquor store, but did go to the bars.
#2, I just tell them "I have my own religion" and shut the door.
#3, Good for you! I have never had to do that, thank deityofchoice!
I am not big on telling lies, I try to be honest in most if not all situations. Boils down to if you don't want the truth, don't ask my opinion.

I must confess that when I was in first grade in a Catholic girl's school, I somehow managed to stand inside my locker after school and close the door on myself. Did you know, those things don't open from inside? Nope, they don't. Panic and much screaming and beating ensued and a nun came to my rescue and rather than confess to my own idiocy I named the one girl in the class I couldn't stand. I confessed to my mother after she'd let the school principal have a large slice of her mind about allowing such people into their school, blah, blah, and THEN! she had to turn around go back inside and admit that it was all a huge ugly story her darling cheeild had made up and eat a large plateful of crow. I've never forgotten how rotten I felt, either. It is not good to tell a lie. So there! G. Washington was right! Do NOT tell lies.

Dyslexia in the Classroom
The purpose of this paper will be to identify potential solution strategies in the literature and research that focus on dyslexia and the problems students have who are diagnosed with it. Teaching methods and their effectiveness in assisting students with dyslexia related to academic achievement will be the focus. Dyslexia is a common road block in today's classroom providing both teachers and students with frustration in the education setting.
The community that is the primary focus for this research is a small elementary in the town of Ocala, with a focus on their third-fifth graders. The reason this topic is being researched is due to the fact that children with dyslexia are not receiving the personalized education and attention they need in order to succeed.
In order to be able to teach a child with dyslexia, a teacher must know and understand what exactly dyslexia is. The word dyslexia is made up of two parts: dys meaning not or difficult, and lexia meaning words, reading or language. (Hudson et al, 2007) So literally dyslexia means difficulty with words. According to Hudson, "Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities."
Now that there it is an understanding of what dyslexia is, it is now important for a teacher to implement strategies that will better aide students with dyslexia. There are hundreds of teaching strategies out there for students with dyslexia however; this paper will focus on four strategies to implement in the classroom. These four strategies are printing material on colored paper, more time in a group learning setting, reference the material with pop culture and more one-on-one time with the student.
The above listed strategies will be implemented and tested for effectiveness during a six week time frame. Each week a new objective and...

Hi all,
I am currently doing a column design assignment and is required to calculate the column height. From literature, it states that packing height = HETP * Number of theoretical stages. However, I would also like to know if there is a general rule of thumb to approximate the height for liquid and vapor flow at the top and bottom of the packing respectively to obtain the total column height.
Thank you and looking forward to responses
Best regards,

One-on-one, locked up in man, defensive back drills, the two NFL progenies go at it every day during Heritage Hall (Okla.) football practice.
The respective sons of Barry Sanders and Derrick Shepard insist on covering each other and also race during 300-yard shuttle sprints.
"They're always step for step and they're battling," says Heritage Hall coach Andy Bogert. "That's what so great about them. They push each other hard every day."
Despite the intense competition between them, or maybe because of it, the two big men on campus -- 17-year-old Barry James Sanders and 18-year-old Sterling Shepard -- are buddies.
They hang out constantly. The defensive backs jokingly bicker about who should make the defensive calls. Shepard makes fun of Sanders' wardrobe. They play video games, attend Thunder games and recently went to a Maroon 5 concert.
"We're like always with each other," Shepard said. "We're definitely tight off the field."
They have more in common than talent.
At a private school with just 370 high school students, both of these senior football stars are sons of former NFL players. The elder Sanders was a Lions Hall of Fame running back, and Shepard's dad was a wide receiver for the Redskins, Saints and Cowboys.
"It is a crazy thing," Bogert says. "It's pretty amazing."
Because of his legendary father, Sanders has been under the spotlight since junior high. To avoid a potential problem, Bogert gathered his varsity players during Sanders' freshman season, emphasizing the attention was not Sanders' fault. He delivered a speech, which helped quell any possible jealousy from the other players.
"Guys, this is Barry Sanders' son," Bogert told the team. "No matter what happens, he's gonna get press. You guys have got to get used to that. It's no insult to you."
Though still a bit behind Sanders in national publicity, the Oklahoma-bound Shepard has emerged as Sanders' equal on the field. The Oklahoman even ran a column debating which Heritage Hall star was the best player in the state.
That answer may be in the eye of the beholder, but who wins those daily DB drills?
"He's much quicker than I am," Sanders says. "He's a better receiver than I am (a) corner. So he gets me on most of the one-on-ones when I'm trying to guard him."
Laughing upon hearing Sanders' response, Shepard said: "I think he's being generous."
They are both more generous than they realize.
Shepard's life took a tragic turn at a young age.
Six-year-old Sterling and his two sisters were celebrating their cousin's 18th birthday at their grandmother's house when Oklahoma assistant coach, Jackie Shipp, a close family friend, called.
He told the family Derrick Shepard had died.
"It's like your life just being turned upside down in seconds," says Cheri Shepard, Sterling's mother and Derrick's wife.
Derrick Shepard was just 35 when he suffered a heart attack. The University of Wyoming wide receivers coach, who had an enlarged heart, passed away after a game of racquetball.
Of the three siblings under 10, Sterling took the news the hardest. At the funeral, Cheri held him as he wailed like a "wounded animal."
At first Cheri said just getting her children to school was a challenge. But they would adopt Derrick's positive spirit.
"I could either go and hide and put the covers over my head and cry about it or just kind of stick it out," she says. "I would just tell the kids, 'Your dad didn't want us to be sad. He wants us just to enjoy life and be happy. So that's what we're going to do.'"
Sterling honors his father every game day.
He wears No. 3, Derrick's jersey number when he starred for Oklahoma during 1984 and 1985. Sterling also writes "RIP" and "DSHEP" on his taped-up wrists before each game. After he scores a touchdown, he kneels down and points to the sky.
"I constantly think of him," Sterling says. "He's definitely in my thoughts as I'm playing."
Cheri said Derrick used to make his son, then just a toddler, watch football teams practice and study the players' form. Because of his father's coaching and football knowledge, Sterling believes he would be an even better player if his father were around to provide further instruction.
"I know nothing about football," Cheri says. "So he can't really get any feedback from me."
Barry Sanders does not guide his son in football either, even though he knows how to succeed at the game's highest level.
"The only thing he really talks to me about is being the best man I can be," says Barry J. Sanders, "and what it takes to be successful off the field."
The Detroit legend has focused on being a father instead of a coach to his son. He viewed Sanders hanging out with good peers and continuing to avoid negative influences as a far more important goal.
"I can't think of anything I've given him advice on as far as (playing) ball," Sanders says. "There's going to be a lot of advice he's going to need, and probably the thing that he'll need the least help with will be football ... The football part of it -- even though it's not easy -- is a heck of a lot easier than a lot of this other stuff that us parents have to guide our kids on."
Arriving at game time and sitting on the smaller, side bleachers, Sanders attends more than half of Heritage Hall's football games. Wearing a hat, he remains inconspicuous, and fans mostly leave him alone, which is what the notoriously reticent Hall of Famer prefers.
Sanders owns a car dealership in Oklahoma but resides in Bloomfield, Mich. with his wife, Lauren, and his three other sons. Barry J. Sanders lives with his mother, Aletha House, in the Oklahoma City area.
Cheri, a human resources manager at Chesapeake Energy, has become the integral figure in Sterling's life.
"My mom has been like a dad and a mom," Sterling says. "There's nothing more I could ask than to have a mom like that."
Shepard truly emerged from Sanders' shadow last season.
As a freshman he was just 5-7, 140 pounds. A concussion slowed his sophomore campaign.
But last year, Sanders suffered a season-ending foot injury in week six, and Shepard filled the void.
"He stepped up big time," Bogert says.
Bogert employed him in a versatile, Wildcat quarterback role. To prevent offenses from keying on Shepard, Bogert moved him around in a similar fashion to the way he used Patriots wideout Wes Welker at Heritage Hall. Bogert was the offensive coordinator during Welker's playing days.
While playing myriad positions -- quarterback, wide receiver, running back -- Shepard lined up behind center, in the slot, in the backfield and in motion.
"He's a very versatile athlete," Bogert says. "He literally played every offensive position we had."
And the results were staggering. Shepard scored 34 touchdowns. He had 1,015 receiving yards and 571 rushing yards. On defense, Shepard added 103 tackles and eight interceptions.
During the 3A state title game, Kingfisher led Heritage Hall, 14-0, at halftime, and Bogert approached Shepard.
"Settle down," Bogert told his player. "We're going to put this game in your hands."
Shepard responded with four second-half touchdowns, and Heritage Hall won, 28-21.
The 5-11, 185-pounder has started 2011 in the same scintillating fashion, returning the opening kickoff for a 94-yard touchdown.
On offense this year, Bogert still uses him in Wildcat formations about five times a game, but Shepard mostly plays wide receiver.
"You throw it up to him, and it's almost a guaranteed catch," Sanders says. "Any time he gets the ball, he's a threat to score."
Shepard and Sanders complement each other. The 5-10, 185-pound Sanders spearheads the running game, while Shepard does the same for the passing game. Sanders has 346 total yards and nine touchdowns, and Shepard has 547 and seven.
On the defensive side, Sanders is the shutdown cornerback while Shepard roams at free safety. But if they face a pass-heavy offense, they both play corner.
At Oklahoma, Shepard likely will play slot receiver. He has a 40-inch vertical leap and 4.4, 40 speed. Scouts will be watching.
"If he stays healthy," Bogert says, "I firmly believe he'll play on Sundays."
The defending 3A state champions are more than just Shepard and Sanders.
The Chargers, 5-0, have 18 seniors, and six players likely will go on to play Division-I football, including 6-3, 240 lb. tight end/defensive tackle Quintaz Struble and 6-1, 280 offensive/defensive lineman Markus Wakefield.
"It's the most talent we've had," Bogert says.
After this season Shepard and Sanders will go their separate ways.
Shepard will attend Oklahoma, where he has deep ties. His father and two uncles, Woodie and Darrell Shepard, also played there. Derrick was a graduate assistant at Oklahoma before he joined Mark Stoops on the Wyoming staff, and Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops helped Shepard land that Wyoming job.
"He was a big part of my life," Sterling says of his dad, "and I wish he had stuck around to see what I'm doing now."
Sanders says he will announce his decision at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and is considering UCLA, Stanford, Florida State, Alabama and Oklahoma State.
As a result of the latter option, the trash talk between Sanders and Shepard escalates before the latest chapter of the OU-OSU Bedlam Series.
"They give each other crap all the time," Bogert says.
But they also give each other support -- not the kind that replaces an every day father figure, but definitely the kind that continues what a father started.
Shepard will attend his dad's school. Sanders has not yet decided if he will follow in his father's footsteps at OSU.
But whether Sanders is on his rival's sideline or a different field altogether next season, Shepard will miss him.
"That's my boy," Shepard says. "Not being with him every day is going to be kind of tough."
Tune in to RivalsHighTV this weekend and all season long!

In search of the real Punjab
Catch the National Award-winner Anhey Ghorehey Da Daan (English: Alms for a Blind Horse), which has been earning worldwide acclaim across prestigious film festivals, and explores one day in the life of a poor Punjabi family. Kanika Sharma chats with Gurvinder Singh, the debutant director
What led you to choose Gurdial Singh's eponymous novel as your first feature?
I had read it many years ago as a student at Pune's Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). I didn't know much about Punjab back then, but I found the novel challenging my own and popular notions about the region and its people -- that there was more to it than robust music and prosperous fields. There was a huge underprivileged class that lived in a kind of time warp. The story unfolded in a single day, from dawn to midnight. The movement of time, light, characters, events and spaces in the novel made it a seductive choice for adaptation.
Tell us about your background and if the film helped in understanding the dynamics of the plot of the novel.
I grew up in Delhi and after graduating from FTII, spent many years documenting folklore and oral ballads in Punjab. That opened up the cultural practices and social hierarchy, as also the linguistic nuances. Having interacted with people, especially those from the subaltern classes, helped in understanding the characters and situations from the novel. I found real-life equivalents of those among people and spaces. For example, Mal Singh, who plays the role of father in the film, is himself a farm labourer who has worked earlier for many years at the thermal power plant in Bhatinda, which you'll see recurring as a motif in the film.
Most of the Punjabi films being made today are crude comedies or about the dominant land-owning class, the Jatts. Most producers and directors come from the same caste. I don't understand this obsession. What about the other castes -- the Khatris, the Ramgharias, and the so-called lower castes who are mostly artisans or labourers, or what about the Hindus of Punjab, or the few Muslims who stayed back after Partition? The entire discourse, both political and cultural, now revolves around the Jatts.
Tell us about your next project that is slated to go on floors, this January?
The next film is set in the mid-80s in Punjab, during the peak of militancy. It is based on my friend, the Punjabi writer Waryam Singh Sandhu's short stories. It's about common people caught in this conflict, between the militant insurgents and an insensitive armed force. It's about the things that you took for granted in a libertarian world, which become issues of life and death in a macabre world of diktats and jingoistic political aspirations.
Silence and space are becoming obvious choices for Indie filmmakers. Do you feel this is inspired by world cinema?
We have become used to an Indian notion of popular culture where there is no space for silence and where everything is loud. Silence has to be rooted in our lives and spaces and in artistic traditions for it to be truthful. The paintings of Amrita Sher-Gil are full of that quality, as are the frescoes of Ajanta or the sculptures of Khajuraho or Mahabalipuram, as are the miniature paintings especially from the hills, as are our musical forms like Dhrupad.

CEP discussion paper
Benford's Law, Families of Distributions and a Test Basis
John Morrow
August 2014
Paper No' CEPDP1291:
Full Paper
Benford's Law is used to test for data irregularities. While novel, there are two weaknesses in the current methodology. First, test values used in practice are too conservative and the test values of this paper are more powerful and hold for fairly small samples. Second, testing requires Benford's Law to hold, which it often does not. I present a simple method to transform distributions to satisfy the Law with arbitrary precision and induce scale invariance, freeing tests from the choice of units. I additionally derive a rate of convergence to Benford's Law. Finally, the results are applied to common distributions.

NWA organization raises funds for metastatic cancer research
40/29 News met with scientists at the University of Kansas Medical Center to find out how donation-driven grants are supporting new Stage IV cancer research.
Tap or click here to buy Runway IV event tickets
Dr. Danny Welch, PhD, was one of the first to receive a research grant from Metavivor, a national organization supporting medical studies around the U.S.
Dr. Welch's team discovered a protein, called Kiss1, which could potentially work inside the body to stop the spread of breast cancer cells to other parts of the body, such as the bones, liver or brain.
"If you leave Bentonville and you fly over to Paris you are still a person from Bentonville. You aren't a French person. A breast cancer cell is still breast cancer cell, it's just in a different place," Welch said.
Dr. Welch's lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center are expanding upon his initial findings to better understand how KISS1 works, as a metastasis suppressor, to prevent the colonization of metastatic tumor cells in other organs.
With the original funding from Metavivor, Welch was able to use his findings to apply for and secure a much larger federal grant from the National Institute of Health in order to continue his research at the University of Kansas Cancer Center.
"We don't have a cure for metastasis, but we (the field) are discovering things that help women live longer and have a decent quality of life. That's the goal," Welch said.
NWA Metsquerade, a local chapter that raises money for Metavivor was founded by Lisa Quinn and Kelli Parker three years ago. They will host their 3rd Annual Metsquerade Gala where 100% of the proceeds will go to support breast cancer research.
"The money is going to the brightest and best minds out there that are researching metastasis. There are some amazing things coming down the pipeline," Parker told 40/29 News.
Parker and Quinn, along with Dr. Welch, spoke to 40/29 News about their hope for new treatments that could make MBC a controllable chronic illness instead of a terminal one.
"We want that chance to be around - to see our kids grow up. Just because we have this diagnosis, it doesn't mean our life is over. We're trying to live as much as we can every single day," Lisa Quinn said when discussing their work with NWA Mets.

One Linlithgow is a whole-town Improvement District, which the businesses of Linlithgow voted to establish in October 2019 (further details here).
It is a not-for-profit company, administered by a board of volunteer directors (actually, at the time of writing this one week after the successful ballot… it's a steering group, which will very soon become the board of directors!). Those volunteers are the owners of independent businesses, as well as local branches of national chains, and local Elected Members. In an advisory capacity, local community groups have also joined forces with the business community to create a loud and unified voice for Linlithgow. Once the new board of directors is fully constituted, a comprehensive list of its membership will be shown on this site, as well as Companies House. Administrative assistance is provided by management staff: Eddie Linton-Smith and Sally McIntosh-Anderson, while communications and press support is provided by John Smith and Hephzibah Kilbride.
One Linlithgow exists to support businesses the length and breadth of the town – not just the areas that used to be the Town Centre and Mill Road BID areas. Each one of those businesses (besides a few considered either too small or not sufficiently benefitted by One Linlithgow activity) pays an annual fee to One Linlithgow, in exchange for projects and services, as well as trying to draw in as much external financial support as possible.
The full One Linlithgow business plan can be viewed or downloaded here.

"For years I had tried to measure up to the rest of the Beechers." -- Isabella Beecher Hooker
A historian once wrote that the kindest thing he could say about Isabella Beecher Hooker was "she must have been a little mad."
In a family letter, Harriet once called Isabella a "monomaniac." Because of Isabella's tendency to talk to the dead, her sons-in-law periodically banned her from seeing her grandchildren. Comparing herself to Harriet, Isabella herself wrote, "Seeing the evidences of genius all around me here -- my own littleness fairly stared me in the face."
Isabella's perception of her own littleness in the panoply of the fabulous Beecher family never left her, although she blazed trails and challenged public sensibilities with a vengeance. By combining some qualities from her domineering older sister, Catharine, and the whip-smart Harriet, Isabella established herself as a mover in the American suffragist movement and in American spiritualism -- and labored under public scrutiny unheard of by her famous siblings.
She published brochures, articles and letters to the editor. She traveled west on a speaking tour. She advocated birth control and co-authored legislation that gave property rights to women in Connecticut. She took a public stand against a brother she thought was a philanderer, the same brother who earlier had been called "The Conscience of America" by President Abraham Lincoln.
Mostly, though, she left history confounded with what to do with her.
"She was eccentric -- but in a good way," said Allyn Van Deusen, a doctoral candidate at Binghamton University in New York, where she is writing a dissertation on Isabella and her husband, John Hooker. "She was out there, and she wasn't afraid."
From the beginning, Isabella went her own way.
Lyman Beecher, son of a blacksmith, was married three times and sired 13 children, four from his second wife, Harriet Porter. The second Mrs. Beecher, whose uncles were governors, bishops and congressmen, was aloof to her stepchildren.
Harriet Porter's only daughter was Isabella Holmes Beecher, born in 1822 in Litchfield. Harriet died of consumption in 1835, and Isabella, a pretty 13-year-old whom the family feared was becoming a clotheshorse, moved to Hartford to live with her half-sister, Mary Perkins, and to attend her older sister Catharine's school, the Hartford Female Seminary. There, Isabella practiced her handwriting and once in a composition allowed that vanity "was the worst vice."
Of her education, Isabella wrote: "At 15 my dear good father (instigated of course by his new wife) came to me & suggested that I should begin to teach school now & support myself. I, who had never been to school in earnest for two years together in my whole life. At sixteen & a half, just when my brothers began their mental education, mine was finished -- except as life's discipline was added with years. Till twenty-three, their father, poor minister as he was, could send them to College & Seminary all six -- cost what it might, but never a daughter cost him a hundred dollars a year, after she was sixteen."
At 17, Isabella met John Hooker, a law clerk in her brother-in-law's office and a descendant of Hartford's founder. When he proposed, Isabella wrote to him: "I acknowledge great cause or thankfulness that you dear sir are one to whom I can in all love render the required obedience without being constantly reminded that such is the will of God & the expectation of man -- I don't know how it can be otherwise than galling to a sensible woman."
After two years of vacillating, she married John Hooker in 1841 and moved to Farmington until the family settled into a large, new Hartford home on a section of land purchased by John and his brother-in-law, Francis Gillette.
At their Forest Street home, the Hookers hosted freewheeling salons in which neighbors and friends gathered for discussions that lasted for days. Gillette was decidedly anti-feminist, and his arguments with Isabella extended to long public letters in The Courant. In 1868, Mark Twain came to Hartford to arrange for the publication of "Innocents Abroad." He stayed with the Hookers, fell in love with the neighborhood, known as Nook Farm, and in 1871 started buying land for his own brick mansion nearby.
The Hooker house was less formal than the neighbors' and crowded with bric-a-brac Isabella brought home from her travels. Because of those trips -- and the family's year-round entertaining -- the Hookers frequently faced financial disaster.
The Hooker marriage bent under the strain, but it remained, more than most marriages of the time, a partnership, Van Deusen said.
"She read John's law books to him because his eyesight was so bad," Van Deusen said. "Isabella is always full of surprises, and John Hooker is a funny, patient guy. He adores his wife. He adores his children."
That adoration did not prevent conflicts. In 1878, Isabella wrote to John, "My husband's lack of confidence in me is a steady drawback to my happiness. You have trespassed on my individuality just as sister Catharine on her friends." To which John wrote, "I have given up more than you." He once admitted lying to a family member, but explained that fibbing was "almost necessary in your defense."
Isabella's world shrank with each child. In 1842, she gave birth to a boy who died within the year. In the next 13 years, Isabella gave birth to three more children, Alice, Mary and Ned. The rivalry of Alice and Mary caused her much pain. In a February 1847 letter to John, she wrote: "The cares of housekeeping and children will make any effort at mental improvement difficult if not impossible. I can never cease to regret the very early age at which I was compelled to leave off study -- it was my intention to be a school girl till I was twenty at least."
In her diary, she wrote: "I should enjoy reading [a scientific book] through, but it requires close attention and this is almost impossible for me to give with Mary at my elbow and with my brain half asleep from want of fresh air and company and exercise."
Even before Harriet Beecher Stowe, Isabella and John published articles and spoke in favor of abolition. In a letter to Catharine dated 1838, Isabella wrote: "You must become an abolitionist or you will be left in the background."
But abolition work wasn't enough. In 1868, the 46-year-old mother of three often referred to her "half-forsaken nest." Daughter Mary had wed two years earlier; over her mother's objections, Alice would marry John Calvin Day the next summer. That left only affable son Ned. Isabella needed an outlet for her prodigious Beecher energy.
At one New Year's Eve gathering at the Hookers' home, Isabella alternately entertained the Clemenses -- Samuel and Olivia -- and other neighbors, and three different mediums, whom she moved to upstairs bedrooms. The evening ended after one of the mediums, a female of small build, ran down the stairs and beat on John Hooker as she channeled the energy of an Indian warrior, she explained later.
It was not necessarily an out-of-the-ordinary night on Forest Street. Unlike her father's Christian Calvinism, spiritualism made no threats or demands and had no clergy. Isabella wrote that she could sink into trances and speak or write as another person, and she embraced that ability.
Her son, who would become a doctor, indulged his mother's trances. Her daughters -- and, more particularly, her daughters' husbands -- were less forgiving. At different times, they refused to let Isabella have contact with her grandchildren. Still, Isabella would not abandon spiritualism, which she first saw practiced by her older sisters Mary, who'd been her surrogate mother, and Harriet, whom she revered.
In an 1890 letter to her daughter Alice, Isabella described a speech she'd given to Washington suffragists. She relied, she said, on the oratorical skills of her minister brother, Henry Ward Beecher,who had been dead for three years. "He has entreated me many times to give myself up to his control," Isabella wrote, "but I have not been quite ready to trust him to speak for a woman's soul."
After one argument with John, Isabella wrote to apologize, and said her harsh words actually came from Catharine, who had died earlier that year.
Not all suffragists were spiritualists, but spiritualism embraced universal equality and was a popular religion among early feminists. In the 1860s, steeped in the egalitarian teachings of spiritualism and the legal writings of Sir William Blackstone, Isabella began reading John Stuart Mill. In 1868, she anonymously wrote for Putnam's Magazine "A Mother's Letters to a Daughter on Woman Suffrage."
The next year, she organized a convention of the National Woman Suffrage Association in Hartford, from which sprang the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. Anxious that suffrage take hold in stuffy Hartford, Isabella was explicit in her instructions on dress and manner to the main speaker, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was not accustomed to such guidance. Later, Stanton told suffragist Susan B. Anthony that the members of the association seemed to like "the most inoffensive speech I could produce."
Sitting in the audience for Stanton's speech were elderly Glastonbury sisters Abby Hadassahand Julia Evelina Smith. After the meeting, they refused to pay taxes until they were allowed to vote. Like Isabella, the sisters had been involved in the abolition movement from girlhood, and their father, a minister who'd become a lawyer, had heightened their interest in human rights. For the next seven years, seven of the Smiths' eight cattle were confiscated by town officials, and every year the women bought them back at public auction.
In 1870, Isabella, with husband John, wrote a property tax bill that for the first time recognized the right of Connecticut women to hold property. When the bill became law in 1877, the Smiths' cattle were safe. Anthony called Isabella "the soundest constitutional lawyer in the country."
But Isabella's sisters disagreed, and portions of their circular family letters were devoted to trying to convince Isabella she was wrong. Wrote Catharine: "This woman movement is one which is uniting by co-operating influences all the antagonisms that are warring on the family state." Harriet supported women's rights, but she wrote with nostalgia of Puritan women and large families.
Isabella's notoriety would increase tenfold through her friendship with Victoria Woodhull, a medium-turned-broker-turned-editor. The flamboyant Woodhull called for voting rights and free love and angered as many people as she enthralled.
While sisters Catharine and Harriet Beecher exchanged barbed shots with Woodhull in newspaper and magazine articles, Isabella's support was unflagging. In a letter to Anthony, Isabella wrote: "I could make pages of commendations of her brain, her heart, her manners." In response, Harriet wrote in a letter to one of her children that Isabella was a "monomaniac."
In November 1872, Woodhull published an account of Henry Ward Beecher's alleged adultery with Elizabeth Tilton, a married member of his Brooklyn Heights Plymouth Church. Woodhull was angry that the married Beecher concealed what she thought was his support of free love.
The scandal reached a crescendo in the summer of 1874. Henry Beecher's case went to a civil trial, but a jury could not agree on a verdict, while a council of ministers exonerated Beecher.
The Beecher clan split over Woodhull's action. Harriet was particularly outspoken in her condemnation of Woodhull, called "Mrs. Satan" by some newspapers. Beecher brother Thomas remained silent; Isabella sided with Woodhull.
Isabella's stance was an egregious breech of family loyalty. Rumors flew that Isabella was crazy, that she'd been romantically involved with a senator in Washington, that she entertained an "unnatural affection" for Woodhull. She was ostracized by Harriet, and alienated from her daughter, Mary, who felt her mother's support of Woodhull created difficulties for John Hooker.
John and Isabella fled to Europe. There, Isabella began experiencing visions she insisted were sent by her long-dead mother. Through the ensuing years, Harriet Porter Beecher would give her daughter advice on everything from speeches to proper clothes.
It was three years before Nook Farm -- where Olivia Clemens stood at the head of the pack shunning Isabella -- regained its status as a salon. But after she returned, Isabella never regained the momentum she'd enjoyed previously with the women's movement. She wrote and spoke, but her audiences were noticeably smaller.
By the Hookers' golden wedding anniversary in 1891 in Hartford, the couple was hailed as "Queen Isabella and Apostle John." Susan B. Anthony attended the party, as did many of Hartford's elite. When John Hooker's "Some Reminiscences of a Long Life" was published in 1899, he dedicated it to his wife, "whose enlightened and inspiring companionship for over half a century has made my life well worth living."
By now, Isabella kept contact with the spirit world more than the temporal one. John said they had corresponded with as many as 450 spirits -- including friends, family, Napoleon, Joan of Arc and Beethoven.
After John died in 1901, Isabella insisted that he contacted her, as did their daughter, Mary, who had died of tuberculosis at age 39. Isabella devoted herself to the spirit conversations, but even then she was, she wrote, "waiting for time to track old Connecticut into line" with the vote for women. Every year until she died, Isabella cajoled the legislature to consider a suffrage bill in Connecticut.
But like so many of her contemporaries, she would not live to see the vote. She died at home of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 86 in the wee hours of Jan. 18, 1907. Mark Twain was an honorary pallbearer at her funeral; a chorus sang a hymn written by sister Harriet, and the eulogy was delivered not by a Congregational minister, but by a Unitarian one.
In her obituary, The Courant devoted more ink to the family than to Isabella, the last of the Beecher siblings. Of the Beechers, the paper said: "It was a family with ideas and convictions. They followed no band but their own."
Of Isabella, the newspaper got in one last dig about her life's work in spiritualism, and then wrote: "We like better now to recall the earlier Nook Farm years -- the open door, the simple but fine hospitality, the strong, luminous face, the delightful talk, the occasional absent-mindedness that so suddenly became keen attention, and the unfailing kindliness."
She was buried in Hartford's Cedar Hill Cemetery. Her mottled legacy most likely would have made her furious -- a complex woman, Van Deusen said, who is easier to dismiss than embrace.
Harriet Beecher Stowe published the first installment of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" 150 years ago. But Harriet was just one of the famous Beecher women. Her older sister, Catharine, and her younger half-sister, Isabella, also helped change the course of American life. This summer, The Courant explores the lives of these women -- how did they manage to command an international audience for their modern ideas on education, abolition, art, religion, homemaking, child-rearing, women's suffrage and more? Today's story is the third, and last, in the series on the Beecher women.
Today: Isabella, The Suffragist.

Fran's bespoke treble clef inspired engagement ring
Fran's partner Luke proposed with our beautiful 'proposal in a box', which included sketches of the engagement ring that Luke wanted to create for Fran. Luke was keen for the ring to be inspired by a treble clef, because of Fran's love of music. They then both came into the studio to bring all the ideas that they had together to design their ring. They chose the warm tones of 9ct white gold which worked beautifully with the central 4mm brilliant cut lilac sapphire in an end only setting. To compliment the central stone, we set a 2mm brilliant cut HSI diamond within curl detailing. The ring was highly polished to complete the design.Enquire about this ring

How to join
To become a member of SAXONS Orienteering Club you must also be a member of the South East Orienteering Association and British Orienteering – the national governing body for the sport.
Annual membership runs from January to December.
You can join as a Senior member (aged 21 or older on 31 December of the membership year) or a Junior member (aged 20 or younger on 31 December of the membership year).
How much does membership cost?
The cost is dependent on which membership type you are interested in; Senior, Junior or Family. The following table shows the cost for 2019 . A family can be either two adults or one/two adults with numerous junior members (up to 5 in the same household).
- Senior – any member aged 21 or older on 31 December of the membership year
- Junior – any member aged 20 or younger on 31 December of the membership year
The membership fee consists of 3 parts; The club, South East Orienteering Association and the sports governing body, British Orienteering.
|British Orienteering
* For family membership, Saxons subsidises the club part of the membership and so does not depend on the number of individuals within the family unit. However, the total cost for SEOA and BO parts depends on the total number of individuals included in the family. e.g. if there are 3 juniors the cost will be £18, to be added to the £18 Saxons part. If there is only 1 adult in the family group the SEOA and BO part will be £14; if there are 2 adults this will be £28. This total for juniors and seniors is to be added to the £18 Saxons part.
Potential Group leaders (e.g.school/scout group) please contact the Saxons Membership Secretary for details. Group members are members of Saxons only, not SEOA or BO.
Benefits of membership:
New members will receive vouchers for:
- a free Kent Orienteering League run at a Saxons organised event
- a free Kent Night Cup run at a Saxons organised event
- 10% off first purchase of Saxons Kit
- a free whistle!
At all our events there are experienced orienteers who are happy to advise on any aspect of orienteering. However, from 2019 we are offering new members the chance to join the Saxons Buddy Scheme. This will be an informal arrangement where newcomers can, if they wish, be matched with a more experienced orienteer to enable them to ask questions about upcoming events, which courses to try, what kit is needed and where to buy it from, and importantly someone to discuss how an event has gone. Analysing what worked well, what didn't, and what things you can try next time is an important part of how you can improve and get more enjoyment out of Orienteering. You can use your Buddy as little or as much as you want, and can ask to join the Buddy scheme at any time during your first year of membership.
