Thank you from London
One of the standout entries in MetaFour Productions and Western Justice Center's "Create Peace Art Festival" in Pasadena on June 5 was the display of multi-media art from Kids Company in London. Their imaginative, peace-themed pieces all won Grand Prizes and MetaFour received this wonderful thank you card.
On June 5, 2011, MetaFour Productions launched the BEYOND WALLS Photo & Video Project at the Create Peace Art Festival in Pasadena, CA. MetaFour partnered with the Western Justice Center for the Create Peace Art Festival which showcased creative works for students grades 1-12 and encouraged students to join the online community for youth--BeyondWallsOnline.org.
The BEYOND WALLS Photo and Video Project captured personal thoughts and expression, photographs, and video testimonies responding to the prompt: What do we have to get BEYOND?
The first participants posted responses that included moving "Beyond prejudice," "Beyond judgement," "Beyond convention," even "Beyond cool!" We've posted these for viewing on the BEYOND WALLS Photo and Video Project Facebook page.
Now it's your turn. Participate in the worldwide BEYOND WALLS Photo and Video Project!
What do we have to get BEYOND?
Let the world know.
Take your picture! Video your thoughts! Post your response to the BEYOND WALLS Photo and Video Project Facebook page.
Spread the word to your networks.
Start to change the world.
Start to move....BEYOND WALLS!
The Western Justice Center and MetaFour Productions are calling for student entries for the Create Peace Art Festival 2011 on June 5, 2011. The submission deadline has been extended to Tuesday, May 31, 2011.
The Create Peace Art Festival 2011 features visual art contributions from youth that reflect the theme: Create Peace. Last year we received about 60 contributions and were honored that the Mayor of Pasadena served as the emcee for the event.
MetaFour Productions is set to conduct sessions at schools or after-school programs where we will guide students in how to create peace-themed art. We are also looking for peace-related submissions produced by students independent of the MetaFour classes. We'll pick up and return any pieces that you would like to enter. The first 20 teachers who submit a minimum of five entries will receive an Art for Peace Toolkit consisting of art materials and art lessons that are related to conflict resolution. The Create Peace Art Festival will be held at the Western Justice Center, 55 S. Grand Ave, Pasadena 91105 on Sunday, June 5, 2011 from 2:00 - 5:00. Please plan to join us for this meaningful celebration of youth exploring the creation of peace through art.

The large-scale environment of the European 2012 high-impact cold wave: prolonged upstream and downstream atmospheric blocking
Demirtas, Meral
Année de publication
In January/February 2012, eastern Europe experienced persistent cold temperatures and snowstorms. The occurrence of a cold wave is not unusual in this region, but this period was remarkable for its duration and intensity. It was associated with (i) an eastern Atlantic ridge with a northeastward extension that intensified the northwest-southeast-tilted trough to create favourable conditions for cold-air outbreaks and snowstorms; (ii) a Siberian high which helped to make the cold wave stationary. The juxtaposition of these flow patterns promoted the occurrence of persistent cold temperatures and snow. Results from this analysis indicate that the atmospheric blocking was likely to be responsible for establishing and maintaining the cold conditions.

Obituary of Kenneth Poole
POOLE: Kenneth J.
It is with sadness and regret that the family of Kenneth John (Junior) Poole advise of his passing on September 11, 2022, at the age of 93.
The eldest son of Kenneth and Margaret (Diamond) Poole, Ken was born in Hamilton and raised in Muskoka, on the Lake of Bays. He is predeceased by all of his siblings; Jean (Bob) Whittington, Gren (Jean) Poole, Pat (Bob) Hockin and infant brother, Dennis; and by dear in-laws Gord (Zoli) and Janet Biskey.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Elizabeth (Betty) Poole, and children Kathy, Dennis (Andrea), Ken (Heather) and Margaret Ann (Frank) Ramsay. Beloved Grandpa of Lauren and Alexandra (Darren); Andrew, Hillary and Aiden; great-Grandsons Everett and Henry, and sister-in-law Jean. Loved by many nieces and nephews and their families.
During the war years the Poole family moved to Chatham where Ken attended CVS and joined the Air Cadets, preparing to join the RCAF when fortunately the War ended. However during the War he had the unenviable (after school) job as the telegram distributor for Canadian Pacific, delivering notices from the War Department to Chatham families about casualties overseas.
He joined Ontario Hydro as a lineman after high school and worked as a lineman and line trainer for 42 years, retiring in 1989.
He was an avid outdoorsman, who loved boating, fishing, camping and canoe tripping in Algonquin Park. He instilled the Muskoka legacy in his family where many summers were spent in the Huntsville area and Algonquin, and for many years Ken and Betty enjoyed the summers camping in Rondeau Park as well, eventually acquiring a cottage and loving the Park life even more. Of course sailing, canoeing and camping were part of the lives of all of the kids, and eventually the grandkids, and he loved his "up north" fishing trips with his brother, Gren.
Ken shared his love of the outdoors with many young men in Chatham-Kent through his 40-plus years with Scouts Canada, being a Cub and Scout Leader. As a leading member of the "Camp Committee" he contributed significantly to the building of Camp Cataraqui near Clearville; Troop 22 was known as the "work camp" group, and spent at least one weekend a month at the camp not only learning scouting and camping skills, but also learning how to do construction, wiring, forestry and a myriad of other things, including cleaning, cooking and life skills. He was a long-time volunteer with the Sertoma Highland Games, once appointed as Grand Chieftain of the Games in recognition of his contribution.
After retiring Ken went on to get his private pilot's licence and loved flying over Chatham-Kent whenever he could. He maintained his pilgrimage to Muskoka and Algonquin and enjoyed biking around Rondeau Park, well into his 80's. His positive attitude and mischievous smile endeared him to many.
The Family will celebrate Ken's life with friends during a visitation to be held on September 19th from 10:00-11:30 am, at McKinlay Funeral Home, 457 St. Clair St., Chatham, followed by a service and celebration of life at 11:30 am, with a private internment later in Maple Leaf Cemetery in Chatham.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Chatham-Kent Hospice would be appreciated by the family.
A special thank you is extended as well to the staff of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Eden Villa, and Fairfield Park, for their compassion and care for Ken over these past couple of years.
Online condolences may be left at www.mckinlayfuneralhome.com

'One of the hardest things you will ever have to do, my dear, is to grieve the loss of a person who is still alive.'
- Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle
I thought you were dead.
This the first thought that crosses my mind when I catch sight of you crossing the street with your head bowed from an invisible weight of a gilded crown and a rubbery smile that stretches all the way from here to India. You're supposed to be dead, aren't you?
I almost didn't see you at first. It's too dark out, and it's easy for me to trap myself in the four corners of my mind as my thoughts scrape the clouds above, but you're still the blinding spotlight that the wide-eyed audience always follows.
An invisible thread that traces back and forth between you and me, demanding my undivided attention while the rest of the world fades away.
I want to cut it.
I can't bring myself to speak though. All of the heartfelt speeches and angry rants I practiced by myself in the shower seem small and insignificant now that I'm seeing you in the flesh under the light of the moon, and there's just not enough room in these crowded streets for uncomfortable silence.
Instead, we pass by each other like two ships in the night that have lost their way, and reality proceeds as usual. You disappear around the corner of the street, as quick as a shooting star across the night sky. I head towards one of the few parts of myself that you haven't bore witness to: home.
You never saw me in the crowd of people that day, but it's okay. I wouldn't have wanted you to see me anyways, not when I'd be caught like a deer in the headlights. Not with you, looking like someone who was born to break hearts. I'd seen a glimpse of your face, and it doesn't quite fit you right anymore, like there's a ghost wearing your face and your skin and clothes.
A new kind of Halloween: me, invisible. You, a ghost re-learning how to be human, like the plot to all of those cheesy movies we'd always watch together during the tail-end days of October. Except, I hate the taste of M&M's now, and I've learned the difference between being scared of the dark and what's in it.
In the dark, there was you and me, until it was just me.
In the dark, there was a car and a key and the feeling of never looking back.
In the dark, you are dead to me.
Now that I think about it, growing up, I'd always believed that your house was haunted. Your basement, to be more specific. You'd always tell me I was wrong, with sweeping gestures and your trademark eye-roll: attics are supposed to be haunted, stupid. Not basements.
Your attic was empty, though, and I was certain that your basement was haunted instead because it was littered with never-been-used suitcases and your parent's old high school yearbooks and beer bottles. I knew, because your brother was never home and there was a ghost wearing your mother's face, too. That must have been where you got it from.
Our lives seemed to be marked with the footsteps of fleeting phantoms, and I guess that's why I wasn't too surprised to see you standing there as if you'd never left. Like it's only natural that you've come back to reclaim the tattoos and scars of this town.
Like it'll never be dark again.
When I eventually ease into bed later that night in my apartment, I'm still thinking about you, and I hate everything about it. I hate the way you and your shadows can still reach me here, even under the comfort of my sheets, even when I'm surrounded by the familiar yellow walls I painted myself.
This is a place without you, a place I made on my own, with weeds in the sidewalk below and air conditioning that never works. This is the one place you aren't supposed to haunt, and I want to keep it that way.
My phone is blowing up with texts from concerned friends, asking me if I know that you're back in town, but I can't bring myself to reply. Of course they know. Of course I know. Do you know, though? Do you know you're here, in this town we grew up and not just another pit-stop on your endless adventure with pools of champagne and a tank full of gas?
I don't think you ever knew, even before you left.
I suppose I'm making your departure to be a lot bigger than it actually was. It was just the strike of a match, after all. Not a cannon boom, or a fiery explosion. You left during the quiet hours of the night, not in the roaring daylight, where I could have forced you to meet my eyes.
It's my own fault, for wanting to hold onto you in that way, but it was only a matter of time before someone cut your wings. Before you were forced to return to the town that made you.
It still hurts, all the same.
You are supposed to be dead, I tell myself firmly one last time before I fall asleep and the darkness of my bedroom becomes a second skin.
I wish I could say that was the last time I saw you, but it wasn't.
We cross paths again at the gas station that's only one block away from my apartment, and I'm hiding behind the Mountain Dew display in my track pants and flip-flops, a jug of Arnold Palmer that I've been craving all day on the floor beside me. It's the middle of the night, and we're both here, looking like different versions of the same nightmare I've been replaying over and over in my head ever since I last saw you.
You're supposed to be dead, but you're here in the gas station I've come to think of as my own. You're here in the same space as me, even though I've spent the last three days stalking the streets of this town warding you off with a pair of kitchen scissors, ready to cut the thread that holds us together.
You're here, despite all of this, and you're buying expensive cigarettes and cheap food with that stretched out smile of yours and too-easy going movements and nice clothes that weren't bought at the Goodwill across the street like mine were.
I'm hiding like a scared, little kid, and the cashier's giving me a strange look that almost makes up for the fact you still haven't seen me yet. The look he gives me balloons up inside of me, until I'm certain it'll rise and pop, but this Halloween in July seems to be lasting forever, and so I continue to remain unseen by you.
It's a scene straight out of one of those sitcoms with the bare bones plot you used to turn your nose up at, but with the clandestine view of you I've been given, all I can think of is how different you look from the version of you I'd created in my head before you left.
The boy I used to know hated the taste of snow peas and kept a jar of shiny pennies under his bed. The boy I used to know carried dreams of hotel swimming pools in his eyes and knew the words to every Belle and Sebastian song in existence but still couldn't sing for shit. A boy who went from best friend to boyfriend to no friend at all.
Your eyes are empty now. Cold as Neptune, and twice as far away from me. Maybe you've always been like this, I realize, now that I can see you without looking through my warped lenses of childhood and nostalgia. A ghost, always waiting to burst beneath the layers of lies you wedged between us.
We'll make it work.
I'll never leave.
I love you.
The boy I used to know and love went along with my dreams of a simpler life, here in this town. With weeds and yellow walls. A version of yourself you killed off that night when you drove away like a shot in the dark. When your visions of the future became different from mine.
There is a ghost before me now, with plastic hands and a plastic smile, and that's how our story seems to go, bare bones plot and all.
You never did learn how to properly put these old bones down to rest, did you?
You are not the boy that I used to know and love, and I've become the girl you used to know but never did love, who hides behind twisted allegories and shadows cast by sagging cardboard boxes, a girl who's armed with nothing but her teeth and a pair of scissors crossed over her heart.
It goes like this and this, a boy and a girl in the dark, a story I wish you never decided to tell, a story with an ending that lingers like a dying star.
You are supposed to be dead, I remind myself one more time long after you've left the gas station, after I make an exit of my own, leaving thoughts of Arnold Palmer and snow peas behind. The boy I used to know is dead.
This time, you can see me. I'm the invisible girl no more.
I hate the way you say my name, like it's an inside joke and I'm supposed to laugh along with you. A trap in disguise. I only offer you a slight nod in return, and it's all I can give you without falling apart. My respects for the dead.
We're at a gathering for a friend we both share, and it's late at night. Usually when there's a break-up like ours, friends are forced to pick a side and run with it, but they've seem to have drawn a fine line between the two of us, especially because we were friends for so long before we started dating. They all cross over into this uncharted territory with ease, begging for me to forgive you and for you to settle down.
I don't see either of those things happening, if I'm being honest, but our friends carry these high hopes like torches, and I don't want to lose them, either.
It's been two days since that night at the gas station, and now there's nowhere for me to hide. Up close, I can see that your eyes aren't as empty as I had thought them to be. There's a scorpion hidden inside each of them, lying in wait with their venom ready.
The night makes you bold and powerful and it's reminiscent of when you left for greener pastures and shimmering lights without a single trace of the love and dreams I had thought we had shared.
The night makes me want to bury myself.
I try to fold in on myself, to vanish within the creases of my dress, to hide my farmer's tan I got from wearing shirts that hide my elbows all summer long, but it's over as soon as it has begun. You say my name and it's a flick of a light switch, a poltergeist calling out to me, and soon you're gone again, walking away as if you own the place, a lit cigarette already hanging from your lips.
You leave me again, but this time I'm certain you're not headed for golden skies. This time, I imagine you're headed for desolation and smoke, towards a fire that'll burn you and your withered hornet nest of a heart up from the inside.
I go home not too long after, and when I fall asleep in my bed, I dream of Antarctica.
There's another party, a week later, and you're there again, too, but this time I don't mind as much because we're outside and it's the middle of the day when things aren't as scary as they would be at night. When you aren't as scary, and all of your bravado has vanished.
Suddenly, everything looks different to me during the day, and I hold this new understanding close to me like a shield against you.
There's a lightness I carry with me, and you're trying to catch my attention and draw me back to you like a moth with your shiny stories from your travels away from me and this town, trying to weasel your way out of an apology or anything remotely close to a white flag rippling through the breeze. You think you still have me wrapped around your finger with your pretty words and silver-laced lies, but I don't hear a single thing you say.
You're not as brave as you usually are when the sun has set. It's a startling change from the indifference you've given me before, but it still doesn't do anything to change your burnt off fingertips or the scars on my back.
I've never been like that, the kind of person that needs to fill up their life in the way you've had. Our story may be a labyrinth of mistakes and heartbreak, but my own story is simple. I don't need the large house with an ocean view. You won't find the contents of my life spilling out onto a sprawling front lawn with rose bushes or other signs of new money.
Instead, I have my broken AC. I have my yellow walls. I have my weeds. I have my home.
You seem to have forgotten that part about me, and I almost want to remind you, especially because you chose that that house with an ocean view over me, but I don't because it truly does not matter. Dead or alive, it does not matter.
I've spent all of this time marking your grave and cursing your name, hiding in my denial. I put your name at the top of my list and crossed it out in black, but I don't even owe you any of that. You're alive, so very much alive, and you're making rash mistakes and leaving tire marks on every road you've ever driven down, but I'd rather be haunted by the memory of you, not your ghost. I'd rather put you behind me this time around.
A dying star. A wavering dream. That's the story I'll tell when I think of you.
The party reminds me that these are supposed to be our roaring twenties, but I think we've been living through them differently. I've grown accustomed to long walks by myself and to screaming underwater in the bathtub with the light fixture above pulling me up like a tractor beam. Yours have been more Gatsby, more fireworks fizzling out of your lungs and into the sky, more "boats against the current."
If you could, you'd change the ending until our story is nothing more than the hollow feeling that fills one up when they wake up in dead of the night, until I'd become as empty as you, but just like it was too late for Daisy and Gatsby and Nick, it's too late for us. And now that I'm seeing you in the light of day, I think I'm okay with that.
(You should learn how to be okay with that).
The next time I see you, the world goes quiet.
I'm standing in front of my apartment, ready to go on my usual morning walk, and you're walking by with all of the nighttime shadows still clinging to you like tar. The sun hasn't risen yet, but it's only a breath away.
You're still trying to hold onto your bravery, to maintain that stability you never had as a child, so you don't see me at first until I call out to you.
"You're dead to me, you know that?"
I don't really mean it, not anymore, but I can't think of anything else to say, not after all the hell you've given me. It sounds like a good final line to yell out when facing the abyss that makes up the rest of my life, just like they do in the movies.
The silence that follows hangs in the silent, dead air between us, and you turn around to face me in surprise. That familiar Cheshire cat smile of yours that I've come to hate reappears, and it's the last thing I see of you before you walk away as you shake your head, leaving me once more without a second thought because you still haven't learned any better.
In the end, you're no better than the ghosts that used to haunt your basement. You're no better than than the ghosts of wealth come and gone.
You think you know the ending to this story, but you don't.
This time, we're not in the dark. This time, it's not the strike of a match but instead it's the gentle kiss of the sun rising over us.
This is the story I want to tell. A boy with a hornet's nest for a heart. A dying star. An invisible girl. Endless ghosts. A quiet journey that ends with a new beginning. It's not profound or awe-inspiring. There are no green lights or mysterious billboards with double-edged meanings, no story about the dying American dream.
The story is simple, and you can always find it in the weeds outside of my apartment.
Overhead, the sky becomes stained gold and pink as the sun begins its ascent, and so I take my scissors and I cut the string that ties you to me, and I let it go.
(I step out into the morning light, and I let go).

Incrediblefiction Fey Evolution Merchant novel – Chapter 211 – Mist scarecrow comfortable to you-p2
Novel–Fey Evolution Merchant–Fey Evolution Merchant
The Pony Rider Boys in the Alkali
Chapter 211 – Mist creature acceptable
[Dual Venomous Fangs]: As soon as the venomous fangs mouthful whatever target, the 2nd set of fangs will rapidly take out of the uppr jaw. The fangs' venom has a paralyzing outcome.
[Mamba Mist]: Shoots out a great deal of venomous mist that could increase its stealth. Concurrently, the target who comes into exposure to the venomous mist are experiencing numerous illusions.
That master-cla.s.s experienced who got summoned this Platinum fey carefully displayed it and mentioned, "This snake fey is usually a Platinum X/Epic Mist-Obscured Mamba. position character qi trained professionals can contract it directly."
Lin Yuan nodded. Despite the fact that a Platinum dragon beast's blood stream was rare, it slightly circulated in the marketplace, so one could acquire it if an individual was honest concerning this.
As Lin Yuan viewed Liu Jie's involved gaze, he shook his head and addressed, "I'm high-quality. Was there nearly anything remarkable in the public auction just now?"
"Lin Yuan, why you haven't shifted ever since the auctions started? Performed something occur?"
Most snake feys used venoms to attack, and mambas had been one probably the most venomous snakes.
Lin Yuan talked to Morbius in the Religious spatial region and went via the gains he experienced received throughout the last few months. Right then, he observed somebody faucet on his shoulder joint and immediately went back to his senses. He observed Liu Jie checking out him worriedly.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan got watched several Radiance Hundred Sequence members' Celestial Stairway duels from your video local library during this period. Even though he still could not clearly try to remember all of their feys, he understood the general toughness of the from Sequence #90 to #100.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If someone nature qi crystal was made each and every seven days, that meant that if he desired to progress the Fantasy Dog breed Chimey or Jasmine Lily into Gold, he would require around 72 days or weeks.
The Brilliance Federation was going to hold the S Tournament soon from January before the conclusion of March, and also the Brilliance Hundred Pattern compet.i.tion lasted from March to Apr. For that reason, each day from January to Apr was basically a party for any Brilliance Federation's citizens. These four many weeks have been also known as the Competition Months.
Most snake feys relied on venoms to infiltration, and mambas were definitely one essentially the most venomous snakes.
[Fatal Entanglement]: The mist-transformed body can rapidly strangle the goal. When you are performing so, the scales in the mid-section will be increased, and snake venom can be introduced from this.
"Lin Yuan, how come you haven't transported considering that the public auction started? Does one thing take place?"
However, although the venomousness during the poison-form feys' physiques was constantly growing alongside their grades, these folks were essentially weakened in other facets in comparison with feys the exact same standard.
Lin Yuan got observed several Brilliance Hundred Sequence members' Celestial Stairway duels through the video clip library during this time. Even though he still could not clearly remember almost all their feys, he understood the actual power of people from Series #90 to #100.
Just after receiving Morbius's respond, Lin Yuan started to be more determined to partic.i.p.ate inside the Radiance Hundred Series compet.i.tion. He was not short of vigor ores and simply had to buy them from Zhou Jiaxin's Star Web store.
Exceptional Ability:
That queen-cla.s.s skilled who possessed summoned this Platinum fey carefully exhibited it and mentioned, "This snake fey can be a Platinum By/Epic Mist-Concealed Mamba. position mindset qi specialists can deal it instantly."
"Lin Yuan, how come you haven't moved considering that the sell commenced? Have some thing take place?"
At that moment, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie suddenly listened to many people's cries of amaze. A member of the emperor-cla.s.s pro five-member squad was retaining a Platinum fey storage containers package. He summoned the fey inside of the fey storage carton that has a shake of his hand. A great deal of exclaims were for this reason suddenly summoned Platinum snake fey.
"Lin Yuan, why you haven't transferred because the auction begun? Does a little something transpire?"
After having Morbius's respond, Lin Yuan turned out to be much more determined to partic.i.p.ate during the Brilliance Hundred Series compet.i.tion. He was not short of vitality ores and just needed to buy them from Zhou Jiaxin's Celebrity Online store.
The Brilliance Federation was going to contain the S Tournament soon from January up until the stop of March, and the Radiance Hundred Series compet.i.tion survived from March to April. Consequently, everyday from January to April was basically a party for the Radiance Federation's citizens. These four many weeks were definitely generally known as the Tournament Period.
Lin Yuan experienced seen many Radiance Hundred Series members' Celestial Stairway duels out of the video clip collection during this time. Even though he still could not clearly bear in mind all their feys, he believed the entire durability of the people from Series #90 to #100.
On the other hand, even when an rank character qi specialized could afford this Mist-Obscured Mamba, they could not opt to agreement it. This became mainly because they can use the resources to cultivate a bit more acceptable heart originating from a decrease standard.
[Focused Venom]: Energize the venom gland's possibilities to ensure that it can generate venom with tripled venomousness.
If put together with Mamba Disintegration, on condition that this Mist-Concealed Mamba could nibble the marked and bust from the armor, it could possibly even poison a fey by using a quality more than itself to death.
That california king-cla.s.s professional who acquired summoned this Platinum fey carefully presented it and stated, "This snake fey is often a Platinum X/Legendary Mist-Tucked away Mamba. rank heart qi industry experts can plan it immediately."
Most snake feys used venoms to attack, and mambas were definitely one one of the most venomous snakes.
The Radiance Federation was going to retain the S Competition soon from January prior to the conclusion of Mar, and the Radiance Hundred Series compet.i.tion lasted from Mar to April. As a result, every day from January to Apr was basically an event for that Brilliance Federation's inhabitants. These four weeks had been generally known as the Competition Time of year.
"Lin Yuan, how come you haven't migrated for the reason that public auction started? Did anything come about?"
Lin Yuan nodded. Though a Platinum dragon beast's blood stream was scarce, it slightly circulated in the market, so one could gather it if one was sincere about it.

Oh, Grace, What a silly dog. She has been dragging her feet, wearing down the top edges of her front nails. Over many miles of lazy walking, she managed to wear a couple of nails down to the quick. It was not serious yet, but because of the mileage we have to cover, we simply couldn't make her continue to walk on them until they had a chance to grow back. Even the dog boots we have weren't a viable solution for the circumstance. Left with no other option, we simply had to suck it up and let her ride in the cart like royalty. She was really pleased with herself.
Kait and I had to pull a lot of weight out of the cart to make room for the 60-lb. baby dog. We both ended up carrying backpacks and taking turns pushing Grace's chariot down the road. Thankfully, her shining personality and wry wit made it all worthwhile.
After leaving Yellow Springs we made about 20 miles, pulling into Dayton just before sunset. Many people had warned us about walking through West Dayton, but nobody mentioned the East side – and East Dayton was most unpleasant. Block after block, we walked past abandoned, overgrown houses, empty storefronts, and sketchy alleys – all exuding a generally hostile vibe.
We moved quickly, racing the fading daylight across Dayton's cracked and oppressive landscape. Thanks again to couchsurfing.org, we had an awesome spot to stay northwest of the city's center. We spent the evening hanging out with Jared and his band of merry housemates in a community-style home. Over wine, spirits, and homemade venison chili, Jared and I shared stories of our mutual homeland of Kentucky. It was a shame that Kait and I were so tired and couldn't stay up talking and drinking all night. The mattress on the floor sucked us in early, and we took off early the next morning. At least we know that there is a safe haven waiting for us if we ever return to Dayton.
We packed and walked onward to the Dayton VA Medical Center to visit with some veterans. Dayton's VA is one of the oldest in the country and the grounds are beautiful. The quiet and understated beauty (and tragedy) of a military cemetery stands as a reminder to live while you're alive, and be thankful to those who made it possible. I took no photograph, but I remember back in D.C. the night that Kait and I walked back to Virginia, and quite unexpectedly found ourselves walking next to Arlington National Cemetery in the dark – an endless sea of simple white headstones, neatly arranged in their strange and peaceful geometry – ghosts of white marble, standing guard in the night. Such a quiet place. But I'm traveling again…
When we arrived at the VA volunteer office, volunteer coordinators Kay and Mark told us that the VA's director, Glenn Costie, wanted to meet us in person. He thanked us for our service and wished us well on the walk, and after a photo-op we got down to the real work. Mark took us up to the 9th floor, which he said was essentially hospice care. It seemed as though every room we visited overlooked the white stone fields that stretched across the property. With Mark's guidance, we made our way from room to room, meeting some amazing people and letting the dogs do their work.
Mark gave us a little historical tour of the Med Center and bought us lunch in the cafeteria before more visits. When we were wrapped up for the afternoon, Kay asked us where we would be going next. She wasn't at all excited that we would be walking out through West Dayton so late in the day, and insisted there was nowhere suitable to camp between there and New Lebanon (our next mail pickup). With a magic phone call, she arranged for us to stay at the hospitality house on-site to wait out some icky weather. She even told us to stop into the cafeteria for breakfast before we left! The Dayton VA truly went above and beyond to make sure we knew how much they appreciated our work. They run an amazing facility, and it was our pleasure to visit them.
Finally free of Dayton's city streets, we wandered our way out into the country once again. There was a strange sort of rural sprawl leading West from the city limits…not quite the suburban-strip-mall-sprawl, but not exactly farm country, either. In New Lebanon, we picked up mail from my mommy as well as packages from OJ and Amber containing vital pieces of equipment that we had left at their houses. Thanks, friends! You rock.
Passing through New Lebanon, Kait saw a sign for the Dixie Diner. We stopped in and snagged some cheap and delicious walking fuel. The staff was curious, and after we told them what we were up to they brightened up. Apparently, we had looked a little…concerning when we first walked up. Maybe it was my crazy hair. Regardless, they were sweet as pie and even comped our meal. Too nice, too nice. Go to the Dixie Diner, get the TootBurger with coleslaw and fries – it's what the regulars eat. Later, we made it to West Alexandria, and the local EMS squad found us a friendly house to camp behind for the night.
The next day, we set out to cover the final leg of Ohio before crossing into Indiana. I was looking for a place to get a quick breakfast in Eaton, and I found a spot called "Dale's Recreation." Intrigued by the name, I called to see if they served breakfast. "All day" was the correct answer, so we went and found it. The old man behind the counter greeted us and had our drink orders before we even sat down.
"Are you Dale?" I asked, knowing the answer was yes. Dale was a real charmer. He prepared our food to order, while singing to himself the whole time. He told me that he had been working there for 20-something years, and when the owner wanted out he bought the place. He has been there now for over 50 years. He asked us where we were heading, and smiled wide when we said San Francisco. "I've been to 'Frisco a few times," he said. "It's a real nice place."
We eat the All-American Breakfast a lot – eggs, meat, homefries, and toast – a killer way to fuel a day of walking. I have to say that without a doubt, Dale cooked the best damn All-American Breakfast that we have had thus far. Maybe it was the singing that made it taste so good, or the 50 years of practice that let him wield his spatula with such finesse. Whatever it was, it was good. When it came time to pay and leave, Dale refused my money. Instead of a check, he gave me a piece of paper with his phone number on it and told me to call him when we got to San Francisco.
Our last day in Ohio was beautiful and sunny, not too hot, with easy traffic. We crossed into Indiana at Richmond, and entered a sprawling mess of fast food and big box stores on the city's edge. My sister and her fiancee Matt took some time to drive up from Cincinnati and meet us for dinner. This was the closest we will come to Cincy or Louisville, and it was good to spend a dash of time with my family. Gone in a flash, she left us to find a place to stay. I tried to get in touch with the mayor about camping in a park, but it was getting late and we ended up checking into a cheap motel for the night. The mayor called me back (I missed it) and gave us permission, but by the time I got the message it was too late. We got up the next morning, determined to make 44 miles to Muncie in the next two days. Kait has family there and after a pampered night in a motel (and a stale continental breakfast of cookies and coffee) we pushed hard to make the miles.
Coming out of Richmond, we picked up the Cardinal Greenway – another reclaimed railroad line, and our favorite kind of trail. The smooth pavement made for fast walking and easy cart-pushing, and the miles melted away. They spared no expense on this trail, and it has regular rest stops and benches along the way.
We ran into a trail maintenance-type guy named Phil, who called the trail coordinator and got us permission to sleep near a bridge that night. After 22 miles we camped under an overpass on horribly gravelly ground – but with permission, so it wasn't too bad. The next morning, we got up and moved fast to make the final 22 miles to the safe haven of family in Muncie, crossing our 800-mile mark early in the morning. We arrived to a houseful of cousins and children, just in time to celebrate a couple of birthdays – that makes three birthday parties and three birthday cakes that we have gotten to help devour on this trip.
This morning, we stopped into the Elmcroft Assisted Living Community to spread a little Mother's Day love. Since we couldn't be with our own mothers (oh, those pesky limitations of time and space) we figured we could visit some other mothers instead. They were happy to have us.
Now, we are going to take a week or so off of the trail. Kait's grandmother is very near to passing away, and her large and tight-knit family is starting to convene up in Buffalo to celebrate her life. Betty Whistler is an amazing woman who raised 13 children (!!!), is Grandmother to 47, and Great-grandmother to over 50 children. She has served as the matriarch of one of the most remarkable families I have had the pleasure of marrying into (well, the ONLY family I've married into – but who's counting?) They have a special way of keeping closely connected, despite the size and scope of their family. When we found out that Betty was starting to wind down – now at 90 years of age and getting tired, but still sharp as a tack – we were offered a ride to Buffalo with Kait's Aunt Ellen and Uncle Mike. It is no accident, no coincidence that we happen to be right here, in their home, and with room in their car for us and the dogs when the time has come. The Whistler clan is coming together in love and unity, and it is only right that we take some time to be with family.
The trail will be here when we return.

Bill removes red tape to help aquaculture industry thrive
Madison– the Wisconsin State Assembly passed a bill Tuesday afternoon authored by Representative Mary (Czaja) Felzkowski (R-Irma) that would accomplish many necessary reforms for the aquaculture industry.
Aquaculture is a $21 million dollar industry in Wisconsin and supports almost 500 jobs. Unfortunately, the industry has declined in recent years due to burdensome and inconsistent regulation. This bill would accomplish the following:
- Allow access to appropriate genetic strains of fish and fish eggs that will strengthen a successful public-private partnership between private fish farms and state fish hatcheries.
- Allow for proper maintenance, repair, and construction of fish farm facilities by making the following changes that will cut down on the number of burdensome permits currently required for even simple repairs:
- Allow maintenance and repair of artificial waterbodies used for aquaculture near navigable waterways.
- Define and allows normal aquacultural activities in artificial wetlands created for aquacultural activities.
- Add maintenance of aquacultural roads to the exemption for farm, forest, and mining roads Requires DNR add aquaculture to the agricultural wetland filling general permit for projects affecting up to 10,000 square feet of wetland.
- Limit DNR review of practicable alternatives for wetland projects onsite or adjacent to an existing aquacultural facility.
- Address burdensome issues with water use reporting and wastewater permitting.
"While the aquaculture industry is thriving nationwide, strangling regulations and overly burdensome permitting in Wisconsin are keeping our fish farms from realizing their true potential," said Rep. Felzkowski. "We worked with Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, Wetlands Association, and the DNR to come up with a strong proposal that we believe strikes the appropriate balance between supporting the industry and protecting our environment."
This bill would also help to alleviate a supply issue. Wisconsin currently has a substantial deficit in the amount of fish and seafood that is provided from local fisheries compared to what is consumed. Moreover, 86% of US seafood consumption is imported, leading to a seafood trade deficit of $10 billion nationwide. This bill will help our state's aquaculture industry grow to more greatly meet demand for seafood across our state and country.
"Without private aquaculture, Wisconsin would quite literally not be able to meet the demands of tourists, sport fishermen, or commercial fishing operators," Felzkowski said. "This bill will fix some of these issues so our aquaculture industry has the ability to more greatly benefit our state's economy."
The Wisconsin Assembly approved this measure and it now goes to the Senate for approval.

Hebrew 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Having a deep, personal relationship with God is the most fulfilling thing in the world. While that statement may sound a bit inflated, I am confident that it is wholly true. Yet, for many of us it remains difficult to experience. In these recent days there have been many hindrances and entanglements to try and throw us off course. How do we grow a great relationship with someone that you cannot see, touch, hear or feel? The answer to that is simple, but challenging. You can see, touch, hear and feel God – by faith. Faith is that secret ingredient that enables your relationship with God to grow deeply and beautifully. And, He has given us the perfect support for our faith, His Word!
Think of it this way. God desires to have true, free relationship with all His children, yet if He manifests himself in even just 1 percent of His greatness and power, we would have no choice but to fall on our faces and worship Him. So, to enable true freedom of choice, He created the truth of faith and gave us His Word as it's foundation. God's Word is that bridge of life that enables us to take that beautiful walk into His presence and grow in a relationship with the creator of the world. Through God's Word we can fix our gaze on Jesus. We can take all the pictures painted of Christ in the Scripture and imagine, conceptualize, who Jesus was and is. Then suddenly, His Spirit comes to any soul who invites Him. He breathes His life into us and we know, we experience, the love and truth of Christ. We are never the same.
I want to encourage you today to fix the gaze of your soul on Jesus. Go to His Word, pray, read, meditate on the truths of who God is. This is a clear path to come to know, build an ever-deepening relationship with our God. Fix your eyes on Jesus and never be the same.

Ken and Andrew speak with Prof. Marcie Smith of John Jay College, author of a pair of articles published by Nonsite about nonviolence guru Gene Sharp. Over the past 45 years, Sharp's philosophy of "revolutionary nonviolence" has become a hegemonic ideology within the various protest movements. But as Dr. Smith shows in her scholarship, Sharp was also a significant Cold War ideologue whose philosophy is more synoptic with neoliberalism than traditional radical Left praxis, be it Marxism, Leninism, or anarchism. Sharpian nonviolence has dominated the methods and strategies of protest, discouraging radicals to engage in taking state power, precisely at the moment when reactionary forces have waged a successful campaign to take control of government so to demolish the welfare state created during the New Deal to Great Society governing coalitions.

LLLT is a modern non-surgical hair loss treatment that uses laser light to stimulate cell growth and supercharge hair follicles. It helps to combat hair loss and improve the volume and appearance of hair. The therapy is painless and has no known side effects. LLLT has been approved by the FDA as a hair loss treatment for both men and women. It is mainly used to treat androgenetic alopecia or what's often referred to as male or female pattern-baldness. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women, and a hereditary condition which causes hair follicles to shrink and become dormant, eventually stopping hair growth all together. .
LLLT can also be used to treat other forms of alopecia and hair loss that stems from causes such as chemotherapy or severe hair loss that may occur in women after pregnancy or menopause. It is also frequently used to complement other hair loss treatments such as PRP therapy and can be particularly effective in conjunction with hair transplant procedures. Results with LLLT have also shown to be even more beneficial than medications over the short-term

Interorganizational Cooperation in Peace Operations: A Network Approach
Document Type
Peer-Reviewed Article
Publication Date
This study proposes a network approach to interorganizational cooperation in peace operations. It suggests that in addition to key organisational characteristics that are already established in the literature, such as organisational type, the nature of relationships among intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) drives the formation and evolution of inter-IGO networks in peace operations. To evaluate my hypotheses, I use the temporal exponential random graph model (TERGM). The empirical analysis provides evidence that the formation of interorganizational networks among IGOs in peace operations is largely driven by relational effects, e.g. network effects.

Trenton, NJ (AP) – New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy won re-election by a narrow margin on Wednesday in a victory that saved Democrats from losing their second gubernatorial seat.
He is the first Democratic governor of a state to win a second consecutive term in 44 years, defeating former Republican Assemblyman Jack Chiattarelli.
Chiattarelli has campaigned in a formidable New Jersey, with spending nearly on par with the governor's and outstripping the GOP four years ago. But Murphy's advantages, including an additional 1 million registered Democrats, proved too great for a Republican.
The win gives Democrats a silver lining after Glenn Youngkin, GOP businessman, defeated Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial race, exacerbating fears that President Joe Biden's falling approval rating is hurting the party. This year's election marks the first major test of voter sentiment since Biden took office, and marked a potentially painful year for Democrats who are trying to maintain a slim majority in Congress.

The proximity of the race surprised experts who watched public opinion polls that showed Murphy to be a confident leader and counted on the advantage of registering his party with more than a million voters.
"If you asked anyone in the state a few months ago, I think anyone could have predicted that Murphy would have a double-digit landslide," said Ashley Koning, director of the Eagleton Opinion Center at Rutgers University.
Murphy's victory also ended a more than three-decade party trend opposing the president's victory in New Jersey's interannual governor's race. Voters have marched for Chiatarelli with a much higher score this year than his GOP predecessor in 2017.
The 64-year-old governor said he was well aware of political trends, describing them as the "driving force" of his re-election, which prompted him to run as if he were 10 points behind.
Murphy has built his campaign around the progressive advances he signed into law – such as phasing in the $ 15 an hour minimum wage and paid sick leave along with taxes on the rich – and recruited his Democratic allies, such as Progressive, to the campaign. US Senator Bernie Sanders. for him.
Thanks to a Democratic-led legislature, Murphy has fulfilled most of the promises he made on his first try four years ago when he fought for Republican Chris Christie's seat. Paid sick leave, taxpayer-funded community college and some preschools, tougher gun laws, expanded voting access, recreational marijuana, additional government aid to schools, and a fully funded government pension are all promised and fulfilled in the first semester. The proposal to finance the projects by the state bank remained unfulfilled.
It became clear Wednesday morning that the election results boded badly for Democrats as Republicans seized the Virginia governor's seat.
LIVE RESULTS: Virginia Governor Race
"The headwinds faced by Democrats, such as the drop in President Joe Biden's approval rating and the Democratic congressional struggle to advance their agenda, didn't have much of an impact on the election analysis of some experts," said Ben Dworkin, director of the Rowan Institute for Public Policy and Citizenship. university. … He ranked himself among them.
A Ciattarelli spokesman said Wednesday the campaign focused on counting and said a possible recount lawsuit was on the table. Murphy also called Wednesday morning to count each vote.
Over the past four years, the State Democratic Party has expanded its registration advantage by 1 million more than the Republicans, and has also gained all but one of the 12 seats in the State House of Representatives, although it lost one when the MP defected to the Republican Party instead of the Democratic Party. … push to impeach Trump.
Chiattarelli is a former State Assembly member who served until 2018. He is the founder of a medical publishing company called Galen Publishing and also served as a local and county official in Somerset.
He crossed the line between upholding the moderate positions he held in the Legislature – such as supporting Roe versus Wade – and reaching out to Republicans who supported Trump, especially on cultural issues that have garnered national attention.

Each educational system poses both benefits and challenges. It is worth considering all substantial nuances before taking the decision about implementing a certain approach. Experts from Pro-Papers have analyzed features of a small class and their effect on professors' effectiveness.
Advantages of small classes
Individualized approach
Educators usually have no time to communicate with each learner in a one-on-one format in 30+ classes. It may seem too young people that a teacher does not care for their academic success, just wants to perform one's duties and leave a class. As there is no opportunity to receive answers to questions emerging during a lecture, listeners cannot fill in knowledge gaps. Active interaction with a professor inspires them, simplifies memorizing information and forming valuable skills.
Better control
It is difficult to work effectively in chaos. Teacher's task is to track discipline in a class, ensure that everyone performs assignments, reads textbooks and takes notes, calm down talkative students and attract their attention to studying, which is easier if there are fewer persons in a learning group. Small classes are much more silent. That is why professors do not have to make additional efforts to avoid a mess.
Some kids are shy to participate in the topic discussing. More active learners do not overshadow them in 10-student classes. Also, it is easier for an educator to notice that some young people feel bored and motivate them.
Correcting mistakes
It is easy to overlook some mistakes if a teacher has to check 30 essays. One is likely to read them superficially, without deep analysis necessary for determining bad trends, understanding where problems may arise, changing teaching approach to avoid poor results in the future. This is not due to a lack of professionalism. Educators are live people getting tired during a working day. Checking a large pile of homework in the evening seems to torture for them. Therefore, it is easier to work on errors in small classes.
Cohesive class culture
A learning group may turn into a kind of family if interpersonal relationships are strong enough. Children usually have no opportunity to interact closely with peers in a 30+ class. That is why they create cliques and communicate only with a few like-minded persons. In smaller classes, students learn to find a common language with different people. This skill will come in handy at a workplace where employees work with colleagues chosen by a boss.
Better teacher-student relationships
Tracking students'strengths and weaknesses, learning behaviour peculiarities, character traits, professors may find the best way to present course materials to each child. In addition, strong interpersonal relationships may be built. A teacher may notice that a learner is upset, ask about reasons for one's bad mood and provide psychological support. If there are some conflicts in a class, an educator may act as a peace-bringer maintaining a favourable emotional climate in a class. One ceases to be just an instructor but turns into a friend and a role model.
Working faster
In a small class, students do not have to wait until their 30 peers answer teacher's questions near a blackboard, read their essays aloud or clarify some nuances that were not understood during a lecture. Young people usually get bored when a professor explains material they already know or interacts one-on-one with other learners.
With the individualized approach, work is done faster, which stimulates students' enthusiasm. They can cover more material, explore a topic more profoundly, perform more additional tasks and form stronger skills. If some time remains at the end of a lesson, it may be spent on pleasant, entertaining activities, communication strengthening class cohesion.

Disadvantages of small classes
Before creating small learning groups, administration of educational institutions should take into account the following challenges:
- It may be difficult for kids to always stay focused and involved, participate in all discussions and team tasks. Some time may be needed to comprehend information received and make conclusions. There is no opportunity to "hide" in a small group. It may be both an advantage and a factor increasing learners' anxiety. Professors should be aware of kids' sensitiveness, shy persons with special care, differently from children eager to dominate.
- Some professors are accustomed to teacher-centred educational approach. It may be challenging for them to apply learner-centred strategies, meet the requirements of a small class.
- Educators should prepare enough additional tasks and entertainment activities for the end of the lesson when free time may remain.
- Communication in a small group may be boring for sociable children.
- As kids learn from each other while working in a team, they will have fewer opportunities to find out about unique peers' experience.
Due to the need to hire more teachers, educational institutions may shrink educators' wages, which will undermine the prestige of the profession.
