This Group is an integral part of the Sierra Club and the Chapter and is not a separate legal entity.
|Purpose. The purpose of this Group is to foster within its territorial limits the purposes of the Club. The group is authorized to undertake activities that are consistent with the purposes of the Club and are not prohibited by the Chapter or by the Board by a general rule applicable alike to all chapters. The Group shall act on questions of public policy only in pursuance of Chapter and Board policies or in a manner consistent with them.

|8.1, 8.3.
|Members.Group members shall be those Club members of record who reside within the Group boundaries, except that upon written application to the principal office of the Club, a member may join any chapter and any group within that chapter. No member shall belong to more than one chapter and group. Only Group members may vote or hold Group office. Only Sierra Club members in good standing may act on behalf of the Group.
|Powers of Members. By voting in annual or special elections, members shall elect and may recall members of the Group Executive Committee (ExCom) and may determine Group policy. Through petition, members may require the ExCom to call membership meetings.
|Membership Meetings. Upon petition by 20% of the members, the ExCom shall call a membership meeting with at least 14 days written notice to the members stating time and place to consider subjects specified in the petition. No binding action may be taken at a membership meeting, but resolutions addressed to any Club entity may be adopted. The quorum for a membership meeting shall be 5% the Group members.
|Election Petitions. The members may petition for a special election by obtaining signatures from 1% or more Group members. Petitions shall state separately each issue to be decided. If the issue is the recall of ExCom members, candidates who shall take office if the recall is successful may be nominated in the same petition.
|Executive Committee (ExCom).
|Number. Subject to the powers
of the members as provided by these Bylaws, the management of the affairs
and activities of the Group shall be in the hands of an ExCom of 7 members
elected by the Group membership for terms of two years.
In any election, up to 4 members may be elected for full terms, as long as the size of the ExCom does not increase as a result and no fewer than 3 terms will expire in any future year. When filling vacancies in unexpired terms by election, longer terms shall be awarded to candidates with more votes. The candidates who win the higher numbers of votes shall receive any available full terms and the others shall receive the unexpired remainders of the vacated terms. Members elected shall take office at the first meeting following the counting of the ballots.
If not otherwise members of the ExCom, the Secretary and Treasurer shall serve as non-voting members.
|Powers. Only the ExCom or those specifically authorized by it or its designees shall act in the name of the Group. The ExCom shall have the authority to make rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of these Bylaws. If any appeal arises concerning any act or decision of the ExCom, the Chapter ExCom shall have the power to determine the procedures to be followed. Group actions must be consistent with Club purposes and the policies and directives of the Chapter ExCom and the Board or its designees.
|The ExCom may call meetings of the Group membership at large
with 14 days written notice to the membership stating time, place, and
subjects to be considered. Notices shall be published in a Group or Chapter
newsletter or other publication provided to all members.

The ExCom may fill vacancies in its elected membership.
|Responsibilities. The ExCom shall assure that the activities and services provided for the benefit of the members by the Group and its sections and other entities comply and are consistent with these Bylaws and any Group Standing Rules, policies and directives of the Chapter or the Board or its designees, the Bylaws and Standing Rules of the Club, and applicable law. Such activities may include but are not limited to financial management, membership services, production of publications, and conservation, outings and political programs. Authority may be delegated to carry out such activities, but the ExCom shall retain overall responsibility and control.
|Vacancies. The ExCom shall have the power to fill a vacancy in any elected or appointed office. A vacancy in an elected position shall be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term by vote of the remaining ExCom members.
|Officers. The ExCom shall
elect from its members the following officers, who shall also be Group
officers: a Chair, a Vice-Chair, and at its option, a Secretary and a Treasurer.
The ExCom may appoint from outside its membership any other Group officers
it considers necessary, including the Secretary and Treasurer. All such
officers shall be Group members.
At the discretion of the ExCom, offices may be combined, provided there are at least two distinct officers. Assistants to these officers may be designated from among Group members.
Notice of the officers and appointees of the Group shall be provided to Chapter headquarters annually upon selection, or as required by the Board or its designees.
|Representatives. The
ExCom shall elect from among its members a voting Group Representative
and Alternate to the Chapter ExCom.
The ExCom may instruct representatives and alternates before each Chapter ExCom meeting. Representatives or alternates shall report to the ExCom after each such meeting.
|Committees. The ExCom may establish and dissolve standing and special committees for such objectives as it may set. Subject to ExCom approval, the Group Chair shall appoint committee members from among Group members. The Group Chair, or another ExCom member designated by the Chair, may be designated as a voting member of each committee, except the Nominating and Election committees. Standing committees shall be appointed annually. Except for the Nominating and Election committees, the ExCom may add, remove, or replace members of any committee at any time. The ExCom may fill vacancies on the Nominating and Election Committees.
|Open Meetings. All meetings of the ExCom and its committees shall be open to attendance by any Club member, but the ExCom or its committees may convene in private session for the consideration of any sensitive matter, provided that any vote or final action is taken in open session.
|Quorum. A quorum for ExCom meetings shall be a simple majority of its voting members. An ExCom member shall be considered present at a meeting if able to participate fully and simultaneously by means approved by the ExCom.
|ExCom Meetings. The ExCom shall hold regularly scheduled meetings at least 10 times per year at times and places communicated in advance to all Group members.
|Emergency Meetings. A quorum of the ExCom may act in an emergency only when the Chair determines that quick action is necessary and there is insufficient time to arrange a Special Meeting, or if prior authorization to so deal with a specified issue has been given in a meeting, provided in either case that a determined and documented effort has been made to contact all ExCom members. Any such action must be reported promptly to all ExCom members and reported and placed in the minutes of its next meeting.
|Absences. Any ExCom member who misses three regularly scheduled meetings over any continuous twelve-month period without being excused for good cause by the Chair shall be automatically removed from the ExCom. The ExCom may reinstate the member by majority vote.
|Nominations and Elections.

This election and any special elections shall be conducted by secret written ballot mailed to all Group members of record at least four weeks before the closing date of the election, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to ensure facility of voting and tabulation, and secrecy of ballot.

|The ExCom shall specify the calendar dates and deadlines
for appointing the Nominating Committee (NomCom), production of eligible
voter lists, receipt of names for consideration by the NomCom, receipt
of ballot issue petitions, the NomCom report of names of nominees, receipt
of candidate petitions, appointment of the Election Committee, printing

the ballots, receipt of returned ballots, and the date, time and place
for counting ballots.
The ExCom shall provide written notice of this schedule and of the opportunity to nominate candidates by petition to all Group members.
|Nominating Committee. A Nominating Committee (NomCom) of at least three Group members, at least one not an ExCom member, none of whom may be a candidate, shall be appointed annually by the ExCom not later than four months before the designated closing date of the election. Sufficient opportunity shall be given for Group members to submit names for consideration by the NomCom. The NomCom shall attempt to nominate at least two more candidates than the number of ExCom members to be elected, and shall report the nominees' names to the ExCom at least two weeks before the deadline for submission of nomination petitions and five weeks before the scheduled mailing of the ballots. Nominees shall be Group members who give their consent. If the NomCom chooses not to nominate a willing candidate, the NomCom shall promptly inform that candidate of the opportunity to seek nomination by petition.
|Petition Candidates.The name of any Group member proposed in writing by at least 1% Group members prior to the deadline for submission of petitions, and who gives consent, shall also be included on the ballot. The nomination petitions shall be retained until the ballots are destroyed.
|Election Committee. An Election Committee of at least three Group members, at least one not an ExCom member, shall be appointed annually by the ExCom prior to the scheduled date of mailing of ballots. Alternatively, the Group ExCom may designate the Chapter Election Committee as Election Committee for the Group. No candidates may serve on the Election Committee. The Election Committee shall cause the ballots to be prepared and mailed, and shall count the returned ballots. Challenges of the conduct of candidates or their campaigns shall be referred to the Election Committee. Decisions of the Election Committee may be appealed to the ExCom.
|Mailing Ballots. Ballots shall be mailed to all Group members of record according to the voter list obtained prior to the election.
|Return of Ballots. Ballots shall be returned to the Election Committee as directed in the ballot instructions. Return of a minimum number of valid ballots shall not be required for the validity of an annual or special election.
|Counting Ballots.
The Election Committee shall count the ballots on the closing date of the
election, or as soon as practical after the closing date of the election.
The candidates or their authorized representatives shall be permitted to
be present. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall
be elected. Any tie shall be resolved immediately, first by a recount,
then if necessary by lot at the ballot counting.
The Election Committee shall immediately notify the candidates, the ExCom members, and other interested parties, and shall report the results to the ExCom at its next meeting. The ballots and nomination petitions shall be retained until their destruction is directed by the ExCom.
|Functions and Services.
|Functions. The Group shall provide functions and services required by the Board, its designees, the Chapter ExCom, or the Group members. The ExCom shall define from time to time the methods and procedures by which these functions and services shall be delivered.
|Publications. The ExCom shall arrange for Group publications to be distributed regularly by print or electronic means to all Group members, giving notice and reporting proceedings of the ExCom, Group meetings, elections and other news, including announcements of social events and outings. This requirement may be satisfied by use of a chapter publication.
|Conservation Program. The Group Conservation Program shall further the conservation objectives and priorities of the Club within Group boundaries, assist in international, national and regional Club actions, and provide for the development and execution of specific conservation strategies and action programs authorized by the ExCom.
|The ExCom shall appoint a Conservation Chair who shall provide a point of contact for the public and other Club leaders, and assist the ExCom in conservation planning, budget decisions, resolving conflicts, training, and implementation of the Conservation Program. Groups may adopt language requiring, in addition to the Conservation Chair, a Conservation Committee to manage the Group's Conservation Program. (See note to 5.1 above.) If a Committee is so required, the bylaw should note that the ExCom shall appoint the committee chair and members. It may include that the conservation chairs or designees of other entities designated by the ExCom shall be members ex-officio.
|The program shall be coordinated with other Club entities. Group leaders shall not make a statement or take a position publicly that is contrary to a policy or position established by the Chapter ExCom, Board of Directors, the duly authorized chapter, group, committee or other Club entity, or the Club membership through referendum, nor shall Club leaders or staff members mention their Sierra Club affiliation if they, in their own names, make a statement or take a position contrary to established policy.
|Conservation actions may not include civil disobedience. No chapter, group, nor other Club entity shall encourage, request or direct any person to violate the law.
|The Conservation Program shall provide an opportunity for sections, other group entities, and individual members to become involved in conservation activities. The program shall also provide for recruiting and training activists to develop the necessary skills and judgment, for publication and discussion of conservation issues, and for networking and alert systems, such as phone trees and electronic mail.
|Membership Program. The ExCom shall provide for a membership program that keeps a copy of the roster of current members, assists in efforts to recruit and retain members, and is responsible for recruiting and welcoming members and encouraging them to participate in Club and Group activities.
|Outings and Activities. The Group ExCom shall manage any outings and activities programs in cooperation with any group subentities that conduct such outings and activities. Such management shall include but is not limited to the establishment of codes of conduct appropriate to each type of activity, provisions for approval and publication of notices, training and certification of leaders, screening of participants, compliance with insurance restrictions and other Club policies, handling of reservations and fees, restricting group size and environmental impact, and investigation of incidents and complaints. All outings and activities shall be sanctioned in advance.
|Political Action. The Group's political program shall include evaluating political issues and positions, planning and conducting the endorsement and support of candidates for public office, and developing and leading the efforts necessary for those processes. This program may include federal, state and local government races as well as ballot initiatives, and shall be conducted in compliance with applicable law and the Club's electoral compliance guidelines.
|Group Sections.
|Sections. With ExCom approval, Group members interested in special activities consistent with Club purposes, or other appropriate subsets of Group members, may form sections, subject to approval of section operating procedures. Because section membership is optional, sections may assess dues and also charge for activities, as permitted by the Group ExCom.
|Reports. Each section shall submit periodic accounts of its activities to the Group ExCom.
|Suspension and
Dissolution. By 2/3 vote the Group ExCom members present at a regular
or special meeting may suspend or dissolve a section, if, in the judgment
of the ExCom, such action is in the best interest of the Club. Such action
shall not affect the standing of the individual members as members of the
Club or Group. Suspension or dissolution shall only take place after written
specification of the grounds for the proposed action are furnished to the
members of the section affected and to the Chapter ExCom or its designees.
At the same ExCom meeting, Group members shall have an opportunity to comment
on the proposed action.
Upon dissolution, all remaining assets of the dissolved section shall revert to the Group.
As an alternative to dissolution, the Group ExCom may require new elections to be held for section office.
|Receiving & Expending Funds. The Group may receive funds from Club entities and may receive contributions directly. The Group may not assess or collect dues from its members. Expenditures shall be consistent with all rules, policies and directives of the Board and its designees.
|Fundraising and Fees for Outings and Activities. Consistent with rules, policies and directives of the Chapter ExCom and the Board or its designees, the Group may conduct fundraising and other activities, including outings, that require members and others to pay a fee to participate. Such fees may include both direct and indirect costs and provide for operating reserves. Fundraising events shall be clearly announced and indicate the general intended use of the proceeds.
|Authority Over Deposited Funds. The ExCom shall have authority over all funds deposited in accounts in the name of the Group and its entities. Every bank, savings, or investment account must have on the signature list for that account at least two signatures, including the signature of a Group ExCom officer, generally the Treasurer or Chair.
|Requirement to Deposit. Unless otherwise specified by the ExCom or the Board or its designees, all monies received by Group entities shall be deposited promptly in an account bearing the name of the entity, the Group, and of the Sierra Club.
|Delegation of Authority. The ExCom may delegate financial authority to Group entities. The Group shall retain responsibility and control. Group entities must provide satisfactory accounting at least quarterly to the Group Treasurer, including all reports required to satisfy Club requirements and applicable laws.
|Prohibitions. The Group and its entities may not borrow money, own real estate, or contribute from its general funds to political campaigns, candidates or their parties.
|Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Group shall coincide with that of the Club.
|Books and Reports. The Group Treasurer shall keep proper books of account, and shall report balances, revenues, and expenses of the Group and its entities to the ExCom at least quarterly, and to the Chapter Treasurer or designee at the end of the fiscal year. The Group Treasurer shall either file, or provide the Club Treasurer with timely information and funds required to file, all reports and returns required to satisfy Club requirements and applicable laws.
|Review. As soon as practicable after the close of the fiscal year, the ExCom shall cause a review to be made of the books, including those of all Group entities. The results of the review shall be submitted to the ExCom for their approval.
|Construction and Amendment.
|Interpretation of Bylaws. All questions as to the construction or meaning of these Bylaws are first to be referred to the Group ExCom for decision. Appeals from such decisions may be taken to the appropriate level, as established by rules of the Chapter ExCom and the Board of Directors. The decision of the highest of these entities that chooses to act shall be final. All procedures not prescribed by the Bylaws and Standing Rules of the Club, these Bylaws, or the Standing Rules of the Group, shall be governed by the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order, newly revised.
|Amendment. These Bylaws are
fundamental and shall not be added to, amended or repealed except by a
two-thirds vote of the Group ExCom and a two-thirds vote of all mail ballots
cast in an Annual or Special Election. After proposed bylaw changes have
been approved by the Group ExCom, and before they are submitted to a vote
of Group members, they shall be submitted to the Chapter ExCom or its designees
and the Board or its designees for review and approval.
If an amendment expands the size of the ExCom, but the annual election was held for fewer members, the ExCom may appoint members or hold a special election to fill the new positions. If the amendment reduces the size of the ExCom, the elected members receiving the most votes shall serve.
Approval by vote of the members is not required for amendments needed to keep these Bylaws consistent with changes in the Club Bylaws, directives of the Board or its designees, or to correct inconsequential errors or omissions. Such amendments shall require only a majority vote of the ExCom.
A current copy of these Bylaws shall be filed with the Secretary of the Chapter and at the principal office of the Sierra Club.
|Signatures and Effective Date. These bylaws and any amended versions shall be signed and dated by officers acting on behalf of the ExCom and by the national entity designated to approve bylaws. These bylaws as amended shall take effect on February 1, 2001, or when the signed copy is filed at the principal office of the Sierra Club, whichever is later. A copy of the signature page shall be returned to the Group, and shall be attached to all reproduced copies.

Special notes for users of PVI antiseptic: If you used PVI, then you will have noticed that the Skin-Prep application pretty much wiped it off. This harmless, because Skin-Prep is another fairly decent antiseptic solution itself; your hands are clean; and the PVI has already killed any "really bad" stuff in the vicinity of the puncture site. (Yeah, something could theoretically be wiped from the wider Skin-Prep area into the puncture site without being killed... but this is already better than 99.9% of insertion procedures being used by Dexcom users. If you want more safety, just wipe PVI over the entire adhesive pad area -- or maybe install an Operating Theater in your House?)

This class will be a two-hour session to help entrepreneurs and business owners understand how to use Facebook for business. The goal is for students to leave knowing how to build a community for their business using Facebook.
This class will include many case studies and in-depth Q&A. I'll talk about Facebook pages. I'll explain the difference between Facebook profiles, Facebook pages and Facebook groups. I'll also touch how Facebook is used with other social web sites like location check-in sites, review sites and deal sites. Also, it's just been announced: Facebook pages will get the timeline at the end of March! Oh, fun!
I'll have a lesson plan and handouts for the class. You really don't need to bring a laptop or tablet. However, as a co-working space, Hub does have wifi.
The format of the course will be a combination of lecture and discussion. I'll explain some basics along with the case studies. Questions are encouraged because if you have that question probably a few other people are wondering the same thing.
You'll leave being more confident in your abilities to promote your business and build an enthusiatic community on Facebook.
This course will touch on the basics, but it's assumed that you don't need Social Media 101.
I'm a freelance social media consultant. I started off as a blogger when I lived abroad in Seoul, South Korea and realized that to get people to my blog, I had to master the social web. That got me a newspaper column with a press pass and led to many freelance writing assignments. It also led to me joining a few team blogs.
When I moved back to the States in 2009, I realized there was a market for people with my skills. That's how I became a freelancer. I've also taught computer courses to seniors in NYC.

In the first meeting of the teams since the split between the NESCAC and the ECAC East after the 2010-11 season, Wesleyan overcame a 2-1 deficit with three goals in the final seven minutes of the contest to come away with a 4-2 win over visiting New England College Sat., Jan. 4. NEC entered the game ranked 18th nationally in the latest USCHO.com Division III poll and fell to 8-4 on the season. NEC leads the series with Wesleyan, 14-6-1, and came into the game 10-1-2 in the last 13 encounters between the squads.
After falling behind, 2-1, at 13:23 of the third period, the Cardinals trailed for only 33 seconds as Jay Matthews '16 (#12, photo insert upper left) slapped a shot from the right circle past the Pilgrim netminder at 13:56 for his third of the season. It took just 32 more seconds for the Cardinals to claim their first lead of the game as Keith Buehler '14 took a pass on the left and deked past two Pilgrim defenders to plant a low shot inside the right post at 14:28 for a 3-2 lead. It was the fourth seasonal goal for Buehler. When NEC pulled its goalie with 1:15 to go with a faceoff in the Wesleyan zone, the Cardinals won the draw and moved quickly up ice with Tommy Hartnett '14 firing a shot into the empty net from the NEC blue line at 18:56 for the 4-2 final. Hartnett is second in goals for Wesleyan with eight this year. Leading the Cardinals is Elliott Vorel '17 (#9, main photo), who scored the Cardinals' first goal at 7:18 of the second period on the power play, extending his point-scoring streak to all nine games this year with his 11th of the campaign. He added an assist on Wesleyan's tying goal, giving him 21 points this year. Matthews also had a goal and an assist.
NEC netted the only goal of the first period while Wesleyan had the lone tally of the second stanza as the teams entered the final period deadlocked at 1-1.
Dawson Sprigings '17, who entered the game 8:04 into the first period when Wesleyan starter Nolan Daley '16 left with a leg injury, had 27 saves with just one goal against.
Wesleyan was right back in action Sun, Jan. 5, hosting SUNY Canton. Wesleyan got on the board just 1:14 into the game when Buehler, standing in the slot, was hit by a shot from teammate Tommy Hartnett '14, then turned to control the puck and whisk a wrist shot past the Kangaroo keeper for his fifth of the season. It took Wesleyan more than 20 minutes to add to its lead as Derek Collins '14 took a pass from Vorel up the left side, carried into the Canton zone and centered a pass to Connor Ryan '15 for a redirect into the net at 2:43 of the second stanza. It was Ryan's third goal of the year. With his assist, Vorel, currently second in the country in scoring with 22 points in 10 games (a 2.20 point-per-game average), extended his point-scoring streak to all 10 games this season. Exactly five minutes later, Matthews netted the first of his two goals in the contest, which upped his season total to five, as a central point shot by Casey Fratkin '14 was blocked, but the puck found Matthews in the left circle for a scoring drive, making it a 3-0 lead.
Canton got on the board with the first of its two power-play markers as a misplay between a Wesleyan defender and Sprigings left the puck for a Kangaroo to flip over Sprigings at the 1:39 mark of the third stanza. Matthews then blasted a slapper from the left circle at 5:12 to up Wesleyan's margin back to three goals. Just 18 seconds later, a centering pass into a maze of players in front of the Cardinal net resulted in a poke in for Canton. At 10:59, Canton cut the gap to a single goal on the power play with a strong rush and a centering pass to the middle for a one-timer that resulted in a 4-3 count.
Canton tried to pull its goalie with 1:35 on the clock by was whistled down for a sub infraction, forcing a center-ice faceoff and the return of the netminder to the pipes. He did get off for an extra skater with :45 left but Wesleyan prevented any sustained attack by the Kangaroos before time expired, making it a 4-3 Wesleyan win. Wesleyan is now 2-0 vs. Canton, having won the initial meeting in Middletown a year ago, 9-2.
Wesleyan had a 44-23 edge in total shots as Sprigings made 20 saves.
With his four points during the weekend on three goals and an assist, Matthews was honored by the NESCAC as its Player of the Week.
Wesleyan will carry a four-game win streak and a six-game (5-0-1) unbeaten string into its next contest, a Little Three/NESCAC matchup at Williams Fri., Jan. 10. The game will be webcast. After that, the Cardinals swing over to Middlebury Sat., Jan. 11 to take on the Panthers. That game, as well, will be webcast.

Pope Francis has begged for forgiveness in his first meeting with Catholics sexually abused by members of the clergy and gone further than any of his predecessors by vowing to hold bishops accountable for their handling of paedophile priests.
Abuse victims and their advocates have long demanded that higher-ups be made to answer for the decades-long cover-ups of rape and molestation of youngsters in a scandal that has rocked the church and dismayed its worldwide flock of 1.2 billion.
The pope celebrated a private Mass with six victims - two each from Ireland, Britain and Germany - at his Vatican residence on Monday, and spent the rest of the morning listening to their accounts, one-on-one.
"Before God and his people, I express my sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you. And I humbly ask forgiveness," Francis said, according to the Associated Press news agency.
"I beg your forgiveness, too, for the sins of omission on the part of church leaders who did not respond adequately to reports of abuse made by family members, as well as by abuse victims themselves," the pope said.
"This led to even greater suffering on the part of those who were abused, and it endangered other minors who were at risk."
But, when speaking of accountability, he made no mention of what countless victims and their families around the globe have waited years to hear: whether bishops and other prelates who shuffled child-molesting priests from parish to parish or didn't inform police and prosecutors would be fired or demoted.
"All bishops must carry out their pastoral ministry with utmost care in order to help foster the protection of minors, and they will be held accountable," Francis said, delivering his homily in his native Spanish.
The survivors were allowed to bring a relative or friend and an interpreter.
One of the six victims, Marie Kane, 43, who was abused by a priest for three years while a teenager in Ireland, said she asked Francis to remove an Irish cardinal, Sean Brady, from his post because of how he handled abuse allegations.
Kane told the Irish Times newspaper that she told Francis a "cover-up is still happening, and you have the power to make these changes."
She quoted him as replying, "It was difficult to make these changes."
When Brady turns 75 next month, he will be required to offer his resignation to the pontiff, who can accept or ask him to stay on.
Many faithful, especially in the US, were outraged when Boston Archbishop Bernard Law, accused of shielding abusive priests during his tenure, was given a prestigious post at a Rome basilica in 2004 by Pope John Paul II instead of being demoted.

SELBY today is a Yorkshire working town with a stunning abbey at its heart. It also has a fascinating history – King Henry I, who was the fourth son of William the Conqueror and who went on to become one of the most effective kings of early Norman England, was born here for a start, in 1069.
According to local historian Paul Chrystal, in his new book Selby & Goole Through Time, it is the abbey which tends to define Selby physically and spiritually. But it is the River Ouse and its bridges which have been pivotal in the commercial development of the town, leading to it becoming a busy port and shipbuilding centre. The vessel which was to become Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior was built in Selby, Paul notes.
His book tells the story of Selby through a rich selection of photographs, both old and new. There are, as you'd expect, plenty of images of the abbey – which, Paul notes, has had an eventful history in itself, surviving the Dissolution of the Monasteries, a collapsing tower, and two destructive fires.
The abbey rises in the background of two photographs of Gowthorpe – one taken in 1903, the other more than half a century later in 1960, by which time the street is already dominated by round-shouldered cars. The abbey is there again in a photograph of the busy Market Place.
In 1906, the abbey was badly damaged by fire.
"The fire started in the Lathom Chapel, where a new organ was being installed," Paul writes.
"Fire units from Selby, Leeds and York (arriving by train) were unable to prevent the destruction of the roof and much of the interior. The Selby firemen were hampered by the fact that the water supply, which was switched off overnight, had to be reconnected. All to no avail, as the abbey was well alight, the tower included, from which the bells clanged to the ground."
One extraordinary photograph in Paul's book shows those bells, at least one of them clearly damaged by the fire and the fall.
Other photographs in the book illustrate Selby's importance as a commercial, shipping and market town. One shows the toll bridge itself; another, the steam tug Lancelot heading towards the bridge.
The tug was built for the York Corporation in 1905 for £3,175, Paul notes. And as for tolls: these "were permitted after the Selby Bridge Act was passed in 1791: coaches paid 3s; cows 1d (paid by the cow herds) and pedestrians 2d."
There is a photograph of Brownies at Selby's Market Cross, taken on St George's Day, 1961 – we wonder if any readers recognise themselves here?
But perhaps one of the most poignant photographs in the book dates from August, 1914.
It shows troops recruited in and around Selby marching through the Market Place before heading for the front. How many of the young men pictured here survived the war, we wonder?
• Selby & Goole Through Time by Paul Chrystal is published by Amberley, priced £14.99

At the 12th Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, four companies were honored as recipients of the 2012 EBAA Safety of Flight Awards, given their outstanding safety records. The awards were presented in conjunction with the 2012 European Business Aviation Safety Workshop, which has become a traditional component of EBACE. In his remarks during the reception, European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) President Brian Humphries said, "the awards recognize the careful and conscientious attention to safety maintenance and operation that is part of a culture embodied at the companies' flight departments."
This year, three companies received the Platinum Safety of Flight Award for achieving at least 50 years or 100,000 hours of safe flying: DC Aviation GmbH; TAG Aviation; and PrivatAir SA.
In addition, one company, VistaJet, received the Silver Safety of Flight Award for achieving at least 30 years or 60,000 hours without an accident. Humphries explained the significance of the annual safety honors: "We know that safety is a matter to focus on day after day, year after year. That's why, several years ago, we decided that part of this day must include recognition of companies that have made safety a continuing mission, and have the accident-free records to show for it."
"Companies like the ones we've recognized – and all the others who took part in this year's Safety Workshop – have not been content to rest on their laurels," added National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) President and CEO Ed Bolen. "Instead, they've taken advantage of the resources offered by EBAA, NBAA and others. And they've made the safety of flight a part of their organizational culture."

Molly came with her lovely parents (whose wedding I photographed a couple of years ago), a big bunch of balloons and of course a tutu, for her second set of baby portraits. Molly is already on the move but was very obliging and sat still with the balloons for a little while. Once she'd got the measure of what was up she was off, showing off her crawling skills for the camera.

BABY/FAMILY LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY YORKSHIRE | BATH TIMEFriday, April 6th, 2012
Having my own baby has made me realise that I don't just want gorgeous styled images of her, I want photographs of everyday things. Lunch. Baths. Naps (occasionally). Playtime. Real memories of my baby girl who is growing up all too fast.
Enough yukky stuff. Here's bathtime.
Want something similar? Give me a call! x
BABY AND CHILD/EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER YORKSHIRE | ISABELLA'S FIRST BIRTHDAYMonday, April 2nd, 2012
I had planned the party for quite a while – I'd been scouring Pinterest just a teeny bit too much, as usual. I seem to have a knack for over exaggerating my talents and thinking I can do it all, in a short amount of time. My sisters and I turned into baking obsessed maniacs the week before, or at least I did, and they put up with it. Isabella got to lick the spoon and wear her new apron.
I wanted spring colours, with bunnies, chicks and ducklings, combined with the more grown up idea of afternoon tea. Let's face it, this was really a party for me. She didn't know it was all for her. I'm hoping she'll look back on the photos and know how special she is to me, my little Isabelladorable.
My little sweetpea is one!
Fondant fancies made more babyish:
Bunny biscuits!
Easter chick wreath, a Pinterest special. It was pretty easy to make. Just take a polystyrene wreath, double sided tape and a million (ok 130) chicks and stick together.
I found this donkey and cart on Party Pieces and had to have it
Macaroons. Batch one were a disaster, batch two, thanks to my sister Rosie (annoyingly she takes the credit) looked GOOD! This recipe from BraveTart (ace name) was the one that worked.
Biiiig yellow balloons
With Daddy
Birthday cake cake pops. Another Pinterest inspired idea.
Easter egg tree :-)
Duckling and chick shape jam sandwiches. My frugal and eco friendly Mum popped the leftover bits of sandwich (after the shapes had been cut out with cookie cutters) in the freezer. An easy snack for Isabella when I'm in a hurry!
With some of her Auntie Rhiannon, Rosie and Laura and Uncle Dom
The kids each had a cake pop with a candle to blow out while Isabella (me) blew out hers
Her first birthday cake! Baked in a sweetcorn tin as my Grandma used to do for us. The ruffles are really easy to ice on with buttercream (there is a tutorial on YouTube)
Don't grab the flame!
There was more time to play with presents the next day
BABY PHOTOGRAPHER YORKSHIRE | ISABELLA GROWING UPThursday, March 22nd, 2012
I keep saying it but it's true. It's hard to believe how much a baby grows in it's first year. They go from a tiny squishy helpless bundle to a laughing, mobile, fully interactive mini me in twelve short months.
Here's how much my baby has grown.
I do lots of 'watch them grow' portrait for babies, which includes three sessions in the babies first year. Usually these are taken when the baby is a couple of weeks old, again around six months, and then around the big milestone – their first birthday. The three sessions are £150 in total, and then you choose which products you'd like. Please get in touch using the button below if you'd like to have a chat about turning your little one into a budding model.
BABY AND CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER YORKSHIRE | FRANCIS IS ONE!Monday, February 27th, 2012
I took the last of Francis' "Watch Them Grow" portraits last Autumn – I still find it incredible how much a baby changes in it's first year. When babies are about one they are a pleasure to photograph, their little characters are clear to see and they are cheeky and funny. Francis was no exception, he's grown into a very sweet, inquisitive little man!

BABY PHOTOGRAPHER YORK | SAMFriday, January 6th, 2012
Time flies by so fast, it's hard to believe that I first photographed Sam as a three month old baby a year ago. He's now walking and into everything, keeping his Mum and Grandma on their toes! His Mum brought him over for his third and final portrait from his 'Watch Them Grow' series on a lovely November day, and he enjoyed exploring my garden. He was a prefect little model – and the first portrait I've had in my own garden since moving back home from Newby Hall. I'll be doing more of these, so I think plenty of gardening is on the agenda for this year. Best get hubby out there with the lawnmower!
Sam grew rather a lot last year:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. All of my family are descending on Friday so it will be chaotic, busy and lovely, just how it should be! I'm looking forward to Isabella's first Christmas, my little Santa baby looks gorgeous in her Christmas dressing gown!
BABY PHOTOGRAPHER YORKSHIRE | FRANCISTuesday, June 29th, 2010
Now that I have a little studio at Newby Hall, I am photographing more and more cute babies. Francis was a little star, he's a very happy little chap and was quite prepared to be photographed! This is the first of his 'Watch Them Grow' sessions – in this scheme babies are photographed when they are a month or two old, then again at about 7 months when they can sit up, and lastly when they are around a year old. It's great for me getting to know the babies and seeing how much they change, and Mum and Dad get a lasting reminder of their babies first year.

Step-By-Step Math Review helps relieve math anxiety for University of Phoenix students
Have you ever studied rigorously for a math exam, only to go totally blank once the test begins? Does the very notion of taking a math class or even picking up a math textbook fill you with dread? If so, then you understand math anxiety firsthand.
"Math anxiety is very real," says Clifton Luke, PhD, a former math instructor and the vice president of learning products for University of Phoenix. "Many of our students haven't had a math class in decades, and that can compound math anxiety."
In Fall 2011, the University launched the Step-By-Step Math Review, an online pre-algebra skills refresher to prepare students for required math courses.
"The United States currently has an overall math education deficit, and it affects students at all levels and across all institutions," says Luke. "So, we wanted to develop a program that helps all of our students brush up on their pre-algebra math skills, and addresses areas where they might need some extra help."
The more confident you are in your math skills, the better you are at math.
Accordingly, all University of Phoenix students in undergraduate degree programs must pass MTH 208 and MTH 209, so developing the necessary math skills to succeed in these courses is essential.
"We want all of our students to master the math material and skills required to pass these courses," says Luke.
The Step-By-Step Math Review covers 14 key pre-algebra concepts, which are prerequisite skills for required University math courses. It includes interactive modules that automatically adapt the content and problems to the skill level of the individual student, providing very specific feedback and hints to students as they're working through each problem.

NYFW Prep event with Modellounge + Charles David!
A few weeks ago, before all of the fabulous Spring/Summer 2012 collections debuted at New York Fashion Week, Modellounge teamed up with Charles David for a model prep event presented by Nimble by Balance Bar. Top models were offered the opportunity to get helpful tips so they could rock it on the runways of NYFW 2011. Fashion designer Prabal Gurung and Teen Vogue's Laura Bonomo were on site to help the NYFW beauties, while runway coach Mac Folkes ran a catwalk class using all different Charles David shoes at wonderful, towering heights (to make the beautiful models even taller!). It was a fantastic event, and we're so happy we were able to help and participate. Congrats to all of the models who walked the runways in NYC! Stay tuned for more pictures and view the video of the event here.

I took it apart and found the reason it was not holding was the spring under the ball that hold the ratcheting mechanism in place was broken. Also, the ball had a flat spot worn on it that could also cause it to slip. I am sorry I did not think of taking pictures when I started this project, so I will just use the same pictures of me putting it back together to show the procedure for taking it apart. Please note it was much dirtier when I started. I cleaned the ratchet and inside parts with an ultrasonic cleaner(carb cleaner would have worked almost as well though).
Step 1: Start the teardown
Use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the retaining clips and slowly pull the back of the ratchet apart. Be careful not to loose the ball. You will find a spring in the hole located in the handle of the ratchet.
What you see in the picture is a ball from a ball bearing that happened to be the same size. As to replacing the spring I just got lucky and found one in my spring drawer. Hopefully yours is not worn out or you can find one the same size.
Step 2: Finnish the teardown
Step 3: Clean and Lubricate
really I have a few that need parts that I can not make easily like broken teeth, any ideas as to how to find the part numbers to order the parts.
mostly the newer stuff has more sharp edges and stuff like that ( wrenches ratchets)
i actually took my 1" wrench and used a De-burring knife to it to clean up a few reasonably sharp edges on the box and open end
does it do anything at all?
That's the whole reason I keep parts from other projects. I know I'll need them again sometime in the future. It might be tomorrow, it might be 10 years from now, but they'll be used eventually. Problem is I have boxes and bins of flotsam and jetsam from decades of deconstruction and salvage.
Thanks for this instructable. Now I can check off item number 647845 off my "O.C.D. - Figure out how this item works" list. I no longer have to crack open a working ratchet to see how it works (which I've always wanted to do, but have never gotten around to).

The recent essay concerning abortion by Stefan Molyneux has touched on something in today's culture that I have been thinking about. Mr. Molyneux correctly describes abortion as a "solution" to social problems. That is, he recognizes that the government and much or our society sees the tragedy of abortion as a solution. In fact, solutions like abortion have become pervasive to what are essentially people problems.
There is a simple solution to people problems. Kill the person. From the first stirrings of life to the lingering end this simple solution is becoming the preferred norm. Of course abortion is a simple solution to the problem of an unwanted child. Even if many do not recognize the fetus as a person, it cannot be argued that killing something is the partial solution to problems such as overpopulation and crime. I wonder if Earth First environmentalists have fantasies of a simple solution for reducing the parasitic population of humans. Much has been written about the sad case of Terry Schiavo. All I wish to state is the obvious, that there was a problem for Mr. Schiavo that has now been solved by the simple solution of her death. And regarding a simple solution to the civil unrest after Katrina I give you Governor Kathleen Blanco with my favorite quote of 2005, her description of the Louisiana National Guard.
They have M-16s, and they're locked and loaded . . . These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so, and I expect they will.
In a former, perhaps more brutal age, Caesar could deal with his people problems in Gaul in a straightforward way.
By this battle the war with the Veneti and the whole of the sea coast was finished; for both all the youth, and all, too, of more advanced age, in whom there was any discretion or rank, had assembled in that battle; and they had collected in that one place whatever naval forces they had anywhere; and when these were lost, the survivors had no place to retreat to, nor means of defending their towns. They accordingly surrendered themselves and all their possessions to Caesar, on whom Caesar thought that punishment should be inflicted the more severely, in order that for the future the rights of ambassadors might be more carefully respected by barbarians; having, therefore, put to death all their senate, he sold the rest for slaves.
Today one might question who the barbarians were. And today the neoconservatives dream that President Bush could deal with the Iraqi insurgency in a similar fashion. But as I think about it, in many ways Bush's Caesarian section of democracy in the Middle East is very much in the spirit of that esteemed statesman who did so much to turn his ancient republic into an empire.
It is argued that we have brutal adversaries so we must employ brutal means. Certainly there are Islamic fanatics that understand simple solutions such as the late, great Ayatollah Khomeini, who was quoted in The West and the Rest by Roger Scruton.
If one allows the infidels to continue playing their role of corrupters on Earth, their eventual moral punishment will be all the stronger. Thus, if we kill the infidels in order to put a stop to their [corrupting] activities, we have indeed done them a service. For their eventual punishment will be less. To allow the infidels to stay alive means to let them do more corrupting. [To kill them] is a surgical operation commanded by Allah the Creator. . . . Those who follow the Koran are aware that we have to apply the laws of qissas [retribution] and that we have to kill. . . . War is a blessing for the world and for every nation. It is Allah himself who commands men to wage war and kill.
The logic is compelling. Our response to fanaticism and terrorism, to the uncertainty of picking out the terrorists in airports, is the simple solution of training air marshals to have a shoot to kill mentality and a hair trigger. It should be understood but isn't that the license to kill has not been granted to James Bond 007, but to the bureaucratic equivalent of your postman. Thus we have nervous passengers gunned down by our protectors. Furthermore, we send bombs and cruise missiles at our enemies, based on slam-dunk intelligence, no matter the innocence, gender, or age of the bystanders. And of course there are the continuous wars that cause so much death and destruction,
Many readers will certainly recognize the theme of this essay is what John Paul II called the culture of death. He has written in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae the following description of the moral and social case against state sponsored death.
This is what is happening also at the level of politics and government: the original and inalienable right to life is questioned or denied on the basis of a parliamentary vote or the will of one part of the people — even if it is the majority. This is the sinister result of a relativism which reigns unopposed: the "right" ceases to be such, because it is no longer firmly founded on the inviolable dignity of the person, but is made subject to the will of the stronger part. In this way democracy, contradicting its own principles, effectively moves towards a form of totalitarianism. The State is no longer the "common home" where all can live together on the basis of principles of fundamental equality, but is transformed into a tyrant State, which arrogates to itself the right to dispose of the life of the weakest and most defenseless members, from the unborn child to the elderly, in the name of a public interest which is really nothing but the interest of one part. The appearance of the strictest respect for legality is maintained, at least when the laws permitting abortion and euthanasia are the result of a ballot in accordance with what are generally seen as the rules of democracy. Really, what we have here is only the tragic caricature of legality; the democratic ideal, which is only truly such when it acknowledges and safeguards the dignity of every human person, is betrayed in its very foundations: "How is it still possible to speak of the dignity of every human person when the killing of the weakest and most innocent is permitted? In the name of what justice is the most unjust of discriminations practiced: some individuals are held to be deserving of defense and others are denied that dignity?" When this happens, the process leading to the breakdown of a genuinely human coexistence and the disintegration of the State itself has already begun.
To claim the right to abortion, infanticide and euthanasia, and to recognize that right in law, means to attribute to human freedom a perverse and evil significance: that of an absolute power over others and against others. This is the death of true freedom. . .
The point of this essay is to warn readers to be wary of the simple solution that kills the problem.

Peer mentoring is an important aspect of college life at Founders. At the moment we are involved in a re-working of the peer mentoring program and are extremely excited about the new possibilities that this will provide for both upper year and first year students. The program offers an in-depth form of interaction that seeks to accomplish a series of important goals.
First, it seeks to acclimatize students to a complicated and often confusing university environment. Peer mentoring offers young students a voice of experience that they can draw upon.
Second, peer mentors can offer first year students an insight into the habits and skills of successful students. They will ge t inspiration and insight into: how to write an essay, how to prepare effective notes, how to study for tests, and how to successfully navigate one's degree.Third, students will be offered an intimate connection to which they can turn. Often first year students are overwhelmed by the expanse of York University and need to be reminded that there are other students willing to speak to them in a direct and open manner.
Peer mentors offer young students an invaluable access to their experience and wisdom. As a result, they can help turn York from an alienating and distant educational environment into an engaging setting that students feel at home in.
Fourth, peer mentoring offers upper year students with a unique university experience. They gain the experience of being able to offer one-on-one counseling. This will no doubt help to increase and finely hone their interpersonal skills.
Peer mentors will be provided with a certificate of completion at the end of the year and this will give them a useful work-related and demonstrable skill that will be of interest to future employers as well as post-graduate programs. Lastly, peer mentoring will offer both the mentor and the mentee an opportunity to participate in the exciting social, cultural, and intellectual life of Founders College. By doing so, we feel that students will have their university experience greatly enriched and deepened. Founders College is the home to many events, conferences and social gatherings that will expand the mind and strengthen the soul of all participants.
Peer mentoring will be organized in a simple and effective manner. Upper year students who have expressed an interest in the program will be assigned to a maximum of three students. These students will be affiliated with programs that match up to the skills of the mentor. Next peer mentors will be given a space in the college to meet with their assigned students.
The staff of the college will be actively involved in coordinating these sessions and will help in any way possible to facilitate effective spaces and times in which these meetings may occur. Certain times of the year will be busier than other times but the staff and the academic advisor will try to balance the time schedule of both students with the facilities available to the college.
We will also be holding some events to allow mentors and mentees to interact in a social environment. Hopefully, by doing so, we will be able to create a collegial and open environment that is pedagogically dynamic.

We want to make Founders College a place that enhances your university experience and we would appreciate any help.
Our Peer Mentors
Here is what some of our Peer Mentors have to say about their experiences participating in the program:
"Being a peer mentor was a fantastic experience that allowed me to meet other students, become more involved in school and further develop my interpersonal skills. I loved having the opportunity to help new students adjust to university life and achieve success by lending them academic and social advice from my personal experiences. Anyone looking to share and receive tips for school success, get more involved in Founder's College, or just meet a new group of friends should definitely join the peer mentorship program!" - Aleeza Freedman, Health and Society
"I was very glad to have the opportunity to share some tips and advice about navigating student and academic life here at York. I wish I had a mentor when I was first starting out since I know that university can be pretty intimidating. I was glad that I could make the experience a little less scary for future students." - Patricia Stavropoulos, Fourth year, Women's Studies and Political Science
"I have been a peer mentor for Founders College for two years now and I have loved the experience of it. By providing the mentees with some tips and advice about how to adjust to the university life at York, I was able to use my experience to help others going through things that I had once gone through." - Sarvenaz Assadpour, B.A. in French Studies and Psychology

{ 'British desserts' month }
Posted by Julia Tuomainen under Baking
[15] Comments
As a child, I was always appreciative of what my parent's provided for me. Even though I grew up in a modest household, and there were always plenty of families around with (seemingly) more, I truly did feel grateful for what I had.
I knew of the challenges my parents faced as children themselves. Growing up in war-torn London during WWII. I remember the stories. About the night bombings. Carrying gas masks to school. The daily air raid sirens and shelters. The food rationing. Waking up and discovering half of the houses in your street were missing … replaced by rubble.
In comparison, I lived in nirvana. I felt lucky.
My childhood was full listening to these stories, and of the connections to London and, of course, to England. Food was one of those connections. Whenever we did have dessert, or 'afters', it was invariably British. I did not necessarily realise that for the longest time. It was all I knew. It was just what my mother made.
Right now, I feel blessed. I am happy, healthy, have a loving husband and my own family on the way. I think back on my own childhood, and of what childhood memories I will help shape, for baby Mélanger. Food will certainly be the focus of a number of those memories.
What an absolute honour and privilege it will be to be part of that influence.
The food of my childhood is firmly rooted in English origins. This month, I am excited to create a few traditional British desserts, but in my own little way. Last month, Finnish desserts. This month, British desserts. The discovery continues to find even more desserts that will certainly be popular in the Mélanger soon-to-be-expanded home.

Yay, that is awesome! I'm looking forward to your next posts.
Ooh yum, can't wait for some jolly ol' afters!
Julia, what a beautiful story! Look forward to the British month I firmly believe that the Victorian British had things down perfect on the sweet side! I hope to see some old era creations…
Hi Julia,
What a amazing story. I'm completely fascinated!!
I can't wait to check the next mouth recipes and, because I leave in the UK at the moment, I'll be even more interested!
another beautifully written post. and a privilege for us, your loyal readers, to enjoy your words and recipes and photos, and all that you share. your monthly themes are just brilliant. i am extremely excited for british desserts, as i am not very familiar with too many, but of what i have discovered — i am definitely a fan !! eton mess, banoffee pie, bakewell tart, steamed puddings… and of course my favorite of all – sticky toffee pudding ! mmm dates and caramel, what's not to love ?!
Congratulations on your expanding family. It is the most exciting, magical time.
I'm very excited about your week of British desserts. There are many English expats here in Luxembourg so I'm learning quite a bit about English culture and cuisine. In fact most of my closest friends here are English. We love to discuss food and the differences between American and British desserts and ingredients. I now know all about puddings, custard, treacle, golden syrup, refrigerator cakes, Mr. Whippys and digestives. I'm on my way to being a proper English lady
I will be passing your posts on to my English friends as well as enjoying them myself. Just bought my first can of golden syrup. Maybe I'll have a reason to use it
Hope you're feeling well. "See" you this week!
Hi Julia
Can't wait to see what British Desserts month brings – for me they are one of the most comforting desserts ever. Great for this winter weather.
congratulations on baby m, who will no doubt grow up enjoying delicious treats from around the world!
Baby Melanger is going to be the most popular kid in school with your cooking at his or her disposal!
Lovely post, looking forward to the month to come
Lovely written post.
I am really looking forward to see all your British puddings.
See you soon ?
I am so excited about this that I've clicked back here for days with nothing to see. Please, hurry! I can't wait for the British goodies to appear.
Have you read the Baking for Britain blog? It's not active anymore, but was a fantastic resource for traditional, regional British desserts.
Trifle. Trifle. Trifle!
Amazing recipe. I love all the ingredients and it looks so yummy!
