The number of babies born prematurely is soaring and has worrying implications for society, doctors warn. Premature births have increased by more than a fifth in the past decade and are posing a growing burden on families and health services. But doctors do not know what is causing the boom.
The earlier a baby is born before full term - 40 weeks - the more likely he or she is to have physical, behavioural or educational difficulties.
A study in the British Medical Journal shows a 22 per cent increase in premature births - before 37 weeks of gestation - from 1995 to 2004. Among low-risk European women aged 20 to 40 the increase was 51 per cent.
The study was done in Denmark but British specialists said that the populations of the two countries were similar and the same pattern was likely in the UK.
In the BMJ, Andrew Shennan, professor of obstetrics, and Susan Bewley, a consultant obstetrician, at King's College London School of Medicine, say of the increase in premature births: "This is alarming and also implies that clinicians have failed to have any impact on reducing rates."
More than 45,000 babies are born prematurely - before 37 weeks - each year in the UK. They require intensive medical and nursing care to ensure their under-developed organs and body systems do not suffer damage in the first weeks and months of life.
Although severe physical and mental disability is rare, it is more common in those born at fewer than 28 weeks. Even beyond 32 weeks, when babies are likely to survive without brain damage, educational and behavioural problems are still common.
One in four children born between 32 and 35 weeks, less than two months early, requires help in school from classroom assistants.
The burden on the health and other public services is also heavy. Those born at fewer than 28 weeks spend 85 times as long in hospital during their first five years of life. One in four of those born at fewer than 25 weeks suffers severe long-term problems.
Professor Shennan said yesterday: "We do know that there are changes in the population in relation to obesity and other factors. We need to find out what the causes of the increase [in premature births] are because this could be quite devastating for society. We know there are long-term effects."
Obesity and older age of the mother increase the likelihood of pre-eclampsia, a condition in which blood pressure becomes dangerously raised which may necessitate early induction of birth.
But Professor Shennan said that most premature births occurred spontaneously and the causes were poorly understood.
"It is probably related to early maturation of a physiological process involving endocrine alterations, inflammation and uterine stretch with consequent uterine contractions and cervical shortening," the authors write.
A US survey published this week found that women who had less than a six-month gap between pregnancies had a 40 per cent increased risk of delivering prematurely.
Women who left too long a gap, more than five years, were also at increased risk. The survey of 67 previous studies covering 11 million pregnancies was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Charlotte Davies, director of communications at Tommy's, the baby charity, said: "This country has the highest rate of premature births in Europe.
"Until now the medical profession has been unable to recommend women with a time for the body to repair itself. Now that there is a guideline, we could see a marked drop in the number of premature births and low-weight babies. It is important women are made aware of the risks."Reuse content

WaPOR: database dissemination portal and APIs
The FAO portal to monitor Water Productivity through Open access of Remotely sensed derived data (WaPOR) monitors and reports on agriculture water productivity over Africa and the Near East.
It provides open access to the water productivity database and its thousands of underlying map layers, it allows for direct data queries, time series analyses, area statistics and data download of key variables associated to water and land productivity assessments.
Maize price trends were mixed in February in the region. Tanzania and the DRC saw significant month-on-month (m-o-m) price increase of their main staple. Zambia and especially Tanzania registered the highest increase in the number of markets in ALPS Crisis.
Key messages
Since early 2015, the Southern Africa and Indian Ocean region has faced widespread food shortages owing to the worst drought in 35 years which was exacerbated by the El Niño weather phenomenon. Two consecutive failed rainy seasons have left 13.8 million people in need of emergency food assistance.
Until 28 February 2017, there were 13,439 cumulative arrivals to Italy, compared to 9,101 arrivals recorded in the same month in 2016 (a 48% increase). Greece has seen a 98% lower number of arrivals in February 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016, 2,611 and 125,494 respectively.
According to available data, there have been 17,479 new arrivals to Greece, Italy and Bulgaria, as countries of first arrival to Europe since the beginning of 2017 till 28 of February 2017.
Maize prices continued to increase in January in most countries in the region. The upward pressure is likely to be due to the peak of the lean season. Overall, maize prices will remain above their average price trend at least until the next harvest. Malawi and Mozambique have the highest number of Maize markets in ALPS Crisis at 71 percent and 100 percent respectively.
• Many countries across the African continent face recurrent complex emergencies, frequent food insecurity, cyclical drought, and sudden-onset disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and storms. In FY 2016, as in previous years, USAID/OFDA not only responded to urgent needs resulting from disasters, but also supported DRR programs that built resilience and improved emergency preparedness, mitigation, and response capacity at local, national, and regional levels.
Key Facts
This analysis suggests that:
The average annual direct losses from earthquakes, floods and tropical cyclones are $5.7 million.
The 100-year return period loss from all perils is over $48 million, or nearly 8% of Comoros's 2014 GDP.
The 250-year return period loss from all period loss from all perils could be $150 million, or 24% of Comoros's 2014 GDP.
Regional Overview
Fall Armyworm
An outbreak of fall armyworm, a new pest in the region, has been reported in Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and Swaziland. Regionally, around 330,000 ha of staple crops (especially maize) have been affected. The remaining SADC mainland countries remain at high risk.
The southern half of conti-nental SADC region has re-ceived normal to above-normal rainfall in the current rainfall season.
The northern and eastern parts of contiguous SADC are still under normal to below-normal rainfall conditions.
Above-normal rainfall was experienced over Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, south Zambia, Zimbabwe, northern South Africa, central and southern Mozambique and Swaziland.
Maize prices continued to increase in December in most countries in the region. The upward pressure is likely due to the peak of the lean season. Overall, maize prices are very likely to remain above their average price trend at least until the next harvest. The two countries in the region with the maximum monitored maize market in ALPS Crisis were Malawi and (89% of its markets) and Mozambique (100% of its markets).
Until 31 January 2017, there were 4,480 cumulative arrivals to Italy, compared to 5,273 arrivals recorded in the same month in 2016 (a 15% decrease). Greece has seen a 97% lower number of arrivals in January 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016, 1,387 and 67,954 respectively.
According to available data, there have been 11,233 new arrivals to Greece, Italy and Bulgaria, as countries of first arrival to Europe since the beginning of 2017 till 8 of February 2017.

Eight countries recognised for efforts to reduce malaria incidence and deaths
ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA (30 January 2017) – At a time of historic progress toward a malaria-free Africa, the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) honoured eight African countries that have shown commitment and innovation in the fight against the disease.
Today at the 28th African Union Summit, the 2017 ALMA Awards for Excellence were awarded to:

South Africa ranks highest in the first Hunger and Nutrition Commitment Index– Africa (HANCI-Africa) launched today. Produced by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) with African Union's New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD).
NGAZIDJA, Comoros – When Jiminie Moussa was 16, she began dating a man who was old enough to be her father. Her family in Ngazidja, the largest island in the Comoros, tolerated the relationship because her boyfriend supported her studies – but that all changed when she became pregnant.
In her conservative community, there is great stigma attached to being an unmarried teenage mother.
The total number of arrivals to Europe by the end of December 2016 has been recorded as 387,739. This is in stark contrast to the 1, 046,599 arrivals recorded in 2015. The decrease in numbers of arrivals can be observed across many of the countries which saw the highest numbers of arrivals in 2015. In Greece 2016 brought 176,906 arrivals compared to the 857,363 recorded in 2015, a 79% decrease, while Italy saw a slight (16%) rise in numbers of arri-vals, from 155,842 in 2015 to 181,436 in 2016.

Africa, the world's poorest continent, faces many security challenges. But its leaders are not slow to intervene in crises when they can, as Yahya Jammeh in the Gambia is now discovering.
Read more on IRIN.
'Market estimates for South Africa's 2016/17 total maize production vary between 11.7 million tons and 13.0 million tons, which is well above the previous season's output of 7.5 million tons. If this materializes, South Africa would return to be a net exporter of maize as domestic annual consumption is just 10.5 million tons'– Agbiz, www.agbiz.co.za.) '
Since late November, the southern African summer monsoon has continued to be dominated by a dipole pattern: with suppressed rainfall in the northeastern parts of the region and Island of Madagascar, and enhanced rainfall in the southern parts of contiguous SADC.
Some significant above-normal rainfalls conditions were observed last past 30 days, across portions of northwestern DRC, west and south of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and south Mozambique.

There is nothing that can beat the advantage and the absolutely euphoric feeling of reading an original text. After all, if I we talk about 'From Heaven Lake: Travels through Sinkiang and Tibet' by Vikram Seth, I get closer to what the writer really had in his mind if I read the original text and not just a thin anorexic book claiming to be its critical study. However, there are multitudes of students thronging our colleges and universities who are probably more interested in every other activity than sitting long enough to read books.
When I was a student of literature some decades ago, I asked a few friends who I spotted reading help-books, 'Why read this? Why not read the original text?'
'No time to read any original text, buddy,' said the friend, 'This book anyway hand-holds me into the heart of the most relevant and expected questions and does all the slog work.'
'Ah!' I said and turned my back to such a concept. Why must I head towards a path that teaches me not to slog, I reasoned then… and I must admit that I did the right thing. I have nothing against those students who wish to drop the original texts and spend their student years lapping up these critical notes… but they need to realise that what they are losing is the ability to interact with a text and will probably never develop the art as well as the craft of analysing critically. After all, they have supped on ready-made critiques and learned to like dependence.
To those who may respond to my words by saying that the critical studies have their own importance in assisting a student understand how to formulate examination-oriented answers, I can only say that I have one such book right in front of me. The volume that I have with me is a thin 88 pages of hurriedly edited text on Vikram Seth's book mentioned earlier. The author is Dr Rabi Kumar Jha who is heading the department of English Literature in SMD College in Sevasagar, Assam. Let me add here that the printing and binding aren't anything to speak about and the publisher (Prakash Book Depot from Bareilly) has given minimal focus on the formatting as well as the quality of paper used.
Let me not diversify and just remain focused on the review of this book claiming to be a critical study of Vikram Seth's travelogue. The content for the initial chapters on Vikram Seth, travel literature, and on the social and political impact of the Gang of Four in China has nothing that is not already there for reference on the websites. The writer of this critical study tells us without reservations that the content has picked up its facts from a website on Vikram Seth as well as the one on Chinese Communist Party. Come on, I think students are bright enough and have the tech know-how to reach out for the tomes of information that online portals and sites store these days. Is it possible to know everything about travel literature by through a small article of barely a thousand words that this book has? Must a student's understanding of socio-political impact of the Gang of Four in communist China depend on reading just three pages? One perspective is that such texts are the easy way out and are actually doing a great job of culling information from multiple sources and presenting them all together for the benefit of the students.
This may be true and these villainous help-books need to be given the credit for bringing together information bits that exist sometimes on undiscovered pages kept in remote nooks of unknown libraries… but every student who falls for such traps must also know that he would then have no chance of being known as a scholar who deserves an applause. So if you're happy with just moving on with your degree, go ahead and pass your exams by reading through such critical studies. You WILL need to read original texts if your ambitions are anywhere above such a mundane existence… you WILL need to learn how to analyse texts… and you WILL need to browse through multiple books to be able to analyse with precision.
Let me give you an example from this critical study by R K Jha. Jha quotes from Vikram Seth's book:
"I walk slowly, groping along the slippery clay walls, bumping my head against the low roof. The light dies. I am guided solely by my hands and submerged feet, both suddenly numb with cold. There is a slight bend in the karez; I realise I had better feel the walls to make sure that there are no branches in the channel."
Now all that Mr Jha does is to add that 'the karez are maintained by commune members. The author Seth was tempted by this karez and he himself experienced the beauty of it'. Jha helpfully points out that 'there are more than two thousand kilometres of karez in the deserts of Xinjiang. A karez is usually less than ten kilometres long, but the bigger karezs are as long as forty kilometres.'
As I read the text written by Vikram Seth, I am actually tempted to buy the book and read it. The flow is unbeatable and I am sure the other facts that Jha has helpfully added to seem helpful, will be there somewhere. Well, even if they are not there, I am suitably intrigued to hop on to the internet and search for more details on karez etc. This is one advantage of studying literature in computer intensive times. Such book, I guess, were popular a few decades ago as students in tier 2 and smaller towns did not have adequate access to information… and the internet did not exist. But times have changed… and I am sure these 'critical studies' or help-books are poised to dive into the dustbin of eternity where they rightfully belong.

Ramandu's Daughter Given a Name – Lilliandil
Posted June 1, 2010 12:39 pm by fantasia_kitty
We were contacted by someone within the production who shared a few tidbits of information with us regarding the character of Ramandu's Daughter.
First, the lovely actress who was the stand-in for the character of Ramandu's Daughter is Stefania Duncan; 21 year old model and actress from Queensland Australia. Her profile can be seen on StarNow.com here.
Second, the character has been given a name for this movie: Lilliandil. Tirian can confirm this name from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader footage he saw a few months ago. He also mentioned that Douglas Gresham was the one who created this name. Very pretty!

wow. i knew this was probably going to happen but i'm still kinda in shock. it's a pretty name. and i guess it would have been weird for them just to call her "lady" or "ramandu's daughter" for the whole movie, especially if she's going to be in it for longer than the book. but still, as a book purist, this is kinda hard to swallow…
Weapon Master says: June 1st, 2010 on 9:21 PM
This reminds me of the way the White Witch's dwarf was given a name in the first film (Ginarrbrik, no doubt derived from Nikabrik). It would be cool if they kept her nameless, but somehow I don't think that would work cienmatically.
Warrior 4 Jesus says: June 1st, 2010 on 11:08 PM
It would work, you just have to be very careful about the way you do it. Case in point: on LOST, the TV series, there's a main character with no name in the final season. You never do find out his name but it works.
coracle says: June 2nd, 2010 on 2:42 AM
It's great that Doug Gresham gave her a name that reflects her son's name (well, his name will reflect hers).
Lilliandil – Rilian!
I am guessing the "dil" ending is either a diminutive ending or a feminine name ending from some language I don't know!
Alambil and Tarvis says: June 3rd, 2010 on 12:36 PM
I hadn't noticed that connection between Rilian's name, but OMG you are so right! Okay, I officially LOVE this name now. :p
And the "dil" I'm pretty sure comes from Tolkien's Elvish in LOTR. The name reminded me of "Elendil" when I saw it.
Aslan's Meadow says: June 5th, 2010 on 6:27 AM

Narnialover says: June 5th, 2010 on 10:43 AM
Ramanda? too close to Ramandu & sounds sort of like a soup… that's just my opinion though.

Narnialover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 2:45 PM
OMG i SO agree with you!!! it's SUCH a beautiful name!!!!
that's exactly what i think about when i hear that too. Did the book say anything about her mom being a star also?
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:11 PM
The books say nothing about her mother. ;P
Alambil and Tarvis says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:38 PM
I thought her mom was human. From what I remember, it seemed to be implied that she was only part-star :p
Hope in the Lord says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:33 AM
It might have to grow on me before I say anything. But it sounds pretty. Oh why can't they release the trailer I'm dying here. 🙁
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 2nd, 2010 on 4:50 PM
If you have hope in the Lord as your screenname implies, I should think that you would "die" for a trailer. Sure, I'm excited too, but if you don't really mean to use such strong descriptions for your anticipation, then use something milder. As C.S. Lewis himself said, "Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." 🙂
Narnialover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 2:52 PM
Golly, it's just an expression!! Sorry. i still agree with you for the most part but i don't think it's that big of a deal…
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 4th, 2010 on 6:34 PM
I did not mean to offend or come across as harsh. An expression perhaps, but perhaps something a little more… "correct"? would be better.
Bookwyrm says: June 4th, 2010 on 10:58 PM
Correct according to whom?
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:43 PM
Don't worry. It's only a movie. Just patience. 🙂
Besides, don't get TOO excited. Because if you do, and if the moive isn't ALL that great, it will really disappoint you. Like it did to me on Prince Caspian. Just some advice. 🙂
Narnialover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 2:57 PM
Yeah, i agree. i think there was way to much war and not enough calmer enjoyable scenes from the book. And i think Ben Barnes was too old to play the part of Caspian, i mean, he's supposed to be like, a little older than Edmund and Ben is 26!!!
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:49 PM
I totally DISAGREE! Ben Barnes is amazingly hot, talented and awesome! The way they made him look made him seem 18ish, just the right age to ascend the throne. Since VDT is three years after that he would be 22. An age when most young men would be married off in the earth-related time.
Starlily says: June 4th, 2010 on 11:14 AM
My main problem with the PC movie was that it skipped or sped through a lot of the book scenes (I always loved the part when the children first get into Narnia, and everything feels so mysterious and adventurous, and I feel that the movie didn't portray it right. I also missed all the parts where Caspian is growing up, and the moonlit walk of faith behind Aslan) and put in a bunch of scenes that were just unnecessary not nearly as good. And I didn't like how they changed the characters. I liked some parts of the movie, but I'm afraid it did disappoint me. It could have been so much better if they'd done a few things differently.
Okay, didn't mean to make another complaint about PC. I just hope the Dawn Treader at least lives up to most of my expectations, and those of other Narnia fans as well. 🙂
narnian resident says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:57 AM
yay! she has a name! i never liked how she was just called "the star's daughter". besides since she becomes caspian's wife its just rediculous to not give her a name.
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:40 PM
Yup. Exactly what I thought.
LN says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:20 AM
Apparently CS Lewis didn't think it was all that ridiculous to not give her a name.
Narnialover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 2:59 PM
haha very funny… sort of
Sokol_iz_Narnii says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:06 AM
Stefania Duncan?
25.08.2009 NarniaWeb reported that the role of Ramandu's will perform Laura Brent:
Why another actress?
Lucy says: June 2nd, 2010 on 8:17 AM
Dude, it's not another actress, it's still Laura brent. The other girl is her stunt double!
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 12:10 PM
Oooohh, that's why she looks so different. DUH! 😛
Bookwyrm says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:46 PM
Not stunt double, stand in. There is a difference.
Mirima Rosetrader says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:34 AM
I always thought she deserved a name besides Ramandu's Daughter. I really like Lilliandil. I'm so glad she has a name. 🙂 Oh coracle that is neat that her name is similar to Rillian, thanks for pointing that out. :)Thank you Mr. Gresham for giving her a name! I'm dying to see the trailer now! Long live Aslan and sail on VDT!
Narnialover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:03 PM
this is kinda random but how do you get a picture on your comment thing? …just watch it be easy and i'll look stupid… that happens a lot.
The Batman says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:37 PM
You can get a picture at gravatar.com 🙂 I'm so glad Mr. Gresham gave "Lilliandil" a name!
Aunt Letty says: June 2nd, 2010 on 7:00 AM
That actress is quite pretty, and of course, she's the stand-in, not the character actress, but…I hope Laura Brent has a more, well, [ethereal] appearance. I really couldn't tell from that artist's rendering on the poster board we saw earlier. Ramandu's daughter needs to be beautiful, but not in the conventional, prom-queen manner. She should be someone who knows how to comport herself as a lady, something that is getting harder and harder to find in the entertainment business these days. It really can't be faked very well.
marianne says: June 2nd, 2010 on 7:35 AM
Based on the few pictures I've seen of Laura, she seems very ethereal. In my opinion she has very classically beautiful face, like an ancient Greek sculpture's, and certain air of nobility about her.
Starlily says: June 2nd, 2010 on 12:59 PM
I completely agree. RD (I'm not quite used to saying Lilliandil yet) should be noble, dignified, kind-looking, and a beautiful person who shines from without and within. I just hope they're able to pull it off in the movie.
Narnialover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:05 PM
yeah, i hope so too…
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:46 PM
Yes, she needs to be beautiful like an Elf. . .
marianne says: June 2nd, 2010 on 7:43 AM
I don't think the names sounds particularly Tolkienish. First of all, the ll in the middle makes it look different. And secondly, it's a little too "cute" for an Elvish name. They're usually more Celtic or Latin. IMHO. 😉
Aunt Letty says: June 4th, 2010 on 12:17 PM
Actually, if you took a close look at the Finnish language, you'd find it strangely familiar. Tolkien used it for some of his elvish.
Lillyput90 says: June 4th, 2010 on 11:58 PM
You are right, the Finnish language was the influence for the Quenya or high elvish whereas Welsh was the influence for the Sindarin or sylvan elvish (Yes I'm wearing my geek hat right now…..). In the movies most of the spoken elvish is Sindarin, taking the Welsh influence of course. There are some beautiful moments where Quenya is used though:)
Aunt Letty says: June 7th, 2010 on 7:48 AM
Heh, heh. You're braver about trotting out your geek hat than I am, I guess. I wasn't going to go into detail. But, yes, the sailient point is; Latin had very little to do with Tolkien's elvish languages. And, it's no coincidence that some of Lewis' and Tolkien's naming etymology is similar.
Aunt Letty says: June 7th, 2010 on 7:50 AM
darn. misspelled "salient".
just jill says: June 2nd, 2010 on 8:12 AM
lilliandil is a great name!it never really made sense to me why she didn't have a name. now if only we could see a trailer i thought one was supposed to come out in may. please get a trailer out
Jeditrojan says: June 2nd, 2010 on 8:28 AM
This is a little off course, but since Ralian's mother was Lilliandil (cool name:-), that means that he is half star, right? Dose that mean he is the rightful king of Narnia? BTW like the name.
Polly Plummer says: June 2nd, 2010 on 3:06 PM
I think he's alright Frank and Helen's sons and daughters married non – humans as well and they were true Kings and Queens
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:06 PM
Yeah, Rilian's covered.
Jeditrojan says: June 3rd, 2010 on 11:01 AM
Thanks! That helps 😉
Casue says: June 7th, 2010 on 7:20 AM
Rilian is Caspian's son, so he would be next in line for the throne.
ibart9 says: June 2nd, 2010 on 10:57 AM
im not into the name (sorry douggie)
what do they mean by stand in?
Aslan's Meadow says: June 2nd, 2010 on 11:39 AM
So how "EXACTALLY" do you pronounce it?
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 12:09 PM
Lillian – (like "Rilian") dil.
Aslan's Meadow says: June 3rd, 2010 on 7:46 AM
dil as in dill pickle?
They could have though up a more beautiful name.
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:08 PM
stand-ins… well "stand-in" the place of the real actor and depict the same character. Some stand-ins are stunt doubles (eg: the guy who rode the horse off the closing drawbridge in PC was /not/ William Moseley but still depicted Peter), others are there for back shots. Stand-ins are especially helpful for kid actors who are restricted in regards to the amount of time they can work in a day.
chirpingbird says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:19 PM
That's funny, Will actually DID do that stunt. (It has been mentioned in lots of interviews with him on PC.)
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 4th, 2010 on 6:37 PM
William did not do the drawbridge stunt. "Insurance wouldn't cover it" and "his stunt double was quite happy: drinking tea everyday except for the drawbridge". William did every other stunt (such as with the duel with Miraz or at the end of the Night Raid when he runs with his horse, kicks a Telmarine down, then jumps on), but not that one.
HighQueenofNarnia says: June 5th, 2010 on 5:10 PM
chirpingbird, Will did not do that stunt. What you're thinking of is the many assertions, by Will and others, that he did all of his own stunts. Well, that's mostly true, but there is an interview floating around Youtube in which Will himself states that he did all his own stunts except the one shot of the drawbridge- that was someone else.
There's the link.
Anywho, I can see your confusion!
And, please excuse me for being ignorant, but how old is Laura?
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 12:08 PM
I love it! But, my sister and I are SO used to pretending that her name was Esther, it's going to take quite awhile to get used to her new name. 🙂
Starlily says: June 2nd, 2010 on 12:57 PM
Awwww. 🙂 Well, you can still call her that when you read the book.
Narnia_Believer and Lord of the Rings Lover says: June 2nd, 2010 on 1:59 PM
Not really, I mean if that is her name than that is her name, you can't change it. however, esther is a pretty name…
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:12 PM
Well, C.S. Lewis didn't /actually/ give her a name, so it hardly matters what you call her (I am a believer that whatever the author says (or doesn't say) overrules all other opinions (even though I do like some changes/additions to movies (Narnia especially) such as the White Witch wearing an ice crown instead of a gold one)! If I was ever thinking to myself (I never called her this out loud), I'd /occasionally/ refer to her as "Starla" (only for personal reference purposes).
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:35 PM
Thanks guys! Esther meant "Star" so it was a perfect name for her.
Starla. . .that is a VERY pretty name too Ariel of Narnia! 🙂
Narnian_Believer and Lord of the rings lover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 5:35 PM
Your right, I was a little mean when I said you couldn't call her what you wanted. You can actually call her whatever you want. Sorry! =(
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 4th, 2010 on 6:40 PM
Thanks, Haggith Tarkheena! And I do take into consideration the meanings of names, so I do agree with you that "Esther" works just as well! 😀
Pippin/Merry/Gimli/all hobbits and dwarf lover says: June 2nd, 2010 on 1:30 PM
Well what do you know, this one is actualy prett, I saw the first VDT and boy is that lady ugly. 🙂 but so was everyone else so I guess that dosn't count. 🙂
Haggith Tarkheena (trying to think of a new name) says: June 2nd, 2010 on 6:53 PM
Yeah. . .I know. It REALLY isn't a Christain thing to say, but, I do agree that she wasn't very PRETTY.
Bookwyrm says: June 3rd, 2010 on 11:32 PM
You think Gabrielle Anwar is ugly? Wow…
Starlily says: June 4th, 2010 on 11:21 AM
I think she was a nice-looking girl…just maybe not Star material. Ramandu's daughter (ahem…Lilliandil) is supposed to be the definition of true beauty, not just a reasonably pretty girl with blond hair.
But no offence to the actress. I certainly wouldn't call her ugly.
Griffle says: June 2nd, 2010 on 1:50 PM
If this is a name chosen by Gresham, then fine, if not; No comment!
Narnia_Believer and Lord of the Rings Lover says: June 2nd, 2010 on 1:57 PM
Wow………..that is a really cool name. I wonder what her real name is?

Atarah says: June 2nd, 2010 on 4:24 PM
Very pretty name. And she needed one, too. Heh, the actress looks like a good friend of mine.
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 2nd, 2010 on 4:31 PM
Almost have mixed feelings about the name. I mean, it's plenty nice and now I don't have to drive myself batty every time I type "Ramandu's Daughter", but it almost sounds… I don't know… Middle-Earth-ish?
Haggith Tarkheena says: June 2nd, 2010 on 5:38 PM
Yeah, I agree. It does almost sound Middle-earthish. Very pretty! It sounds elven!
Quenya says: June 2nd, 2010 on 9:18 PM
Check out my explanation below!
Ariel_of_Narnia says: June 4th, 2010 on 6:45 PM
Wow, Quenya, I've read LotR (and The Silmarillion and the appendices) but I never really researched all that kind of stuff. Whether or not your thought is correct, it's a nice explanation anyway! I must say that I like it!
Peepicheep says: June 2nd, 2010 on 7:50 PM
What a beautiful name and what a lovely actress!! thank you so much for posting and finding this Narnia-Web!!
I can't wait until it comes out.
Quenya says: June 2nd, 2010 on 9:15 PM
I spent a bit of time looking at the word itself, because the "-dil" ending of the name is reminiscent of Earendil, one of the heroes of the Middle-Earth realm. Tolkein (as I'm sure most of us know) spent a painstaking amount of time creating the languages of his creatures- the one most important to this topic is that of Elves. Additionally, C.S. Lewis and Tolkein were collaborators on their projects, and so a name that nods to JRRT would be quite appropriate.
Now to start with the most telling portion of the name, we will extrapolate other ideas of where this may originate from there. The suffix "-dil" appears in two of the Elven languages created by Tolkein, Quenyan and Sindarin. In Sindarin, -dil means "devotion," or, "devoted to." This would suggest that the remainder of her name would say that she is devoted to some cause or ideal. In Quenyan, the suffix means "love," or "to love." This would suggest a similar idea as before.
If that were the only portion of the name derived from something Elven, then Lillian (latin for the flower, lily) would represent the star shape (or her beauty and purity) of the plant mentioned before. This would be the most logical course to pursue, but let me blow your mind a little bit.
Although no cognate of lillian exists in Sindarin, the Quenya has a word- lirinen- which is similar enough to lillian to raise an eyebrow. The word's meaning too, "song" is interestingly appropriate due to the fact that she and Ramandu both sing at down to raise the sun. This would make her name "lover of song," or more literally "song lover."
Now there may be other alternate explanations that match more closely to the choice of this name, or maybe theres no explanation and I'm just totally off base. I like this idea, however. Let me know what you think.
Narnian_Believer and Lord of the rings lover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 5:21 AM
I think you are right. Great observation! But I wonder who exactly came up with the name Lilliandil?
Aliea says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:51 AM
Dougless Greshem (Is that spelled right?), C.S. lewis's… step-son? i think that's right… anyway, he picked the name.
Narnian_Believer and Lord of the rings lover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 5:26 PM
No, it is Douglas Gresham. But you did good in trying. =)
The Batman says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:40 PM
Wow, that is so fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing what you found out about her name!
Eleniel says: June 4th, 2010 on 8:36 AM
Love the name!!
Just to correct your grammar a bit Quenya – the word 'lírinen' is actually the instrumental case of the noun 'lírë,' meaning 'song.' Adding the ending '-nen' makes it 'because of song.'
Since you know the word I assume you are familiar with the 'Namárië' poem – there is another instance of the instrumental case there in the word 'súrinen' – because of the wind. 😉
The closest two words to 'Lillian' in Quenya that I am aware of are the verbs 'lala' (to laugh) and 'lelya' (to go), neither of which is terribly similar.
I agree with all said about the ending '-dil;' good work. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the name.
I would hardly think Mr. Gresham would be that deep into Quenya grammar anyway. 😛 The name is very suitable as far as I'm concerned; it has a real sort of Narnian ring. ^)
Starlily says: June 4th, 2010 on 11:26 AM
Wow, even if Elvish is an imaginary language, Tolkien sure put some work into it. And you guys know all about it! If ever any Middle Earth elves show up, you'll be able to chat with them like old pals! 😉
Starlily says: June 4th, 2010 on 11:29 AM
But I'm still not convinced that Gresham was trying to make up a grammatically correct Elvish name. This is Narnia after all, not not Middle Earth. If anything I would think he'd try to avoid any connection with elves. But still you never know.
Narnian1993 says: June 2nd, 2010 on 9:27 PM
I think it's a beautiful name! even more special since Douglas G. picked it out. 🙂 I think it fits her caracter very well. King Caspian and Queen Lilliandil 😉
narniafan#1 says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:25 AM
The name is pretty and it was very appropriate for Mr. Gresham to come up with it. I'm just a bit worried that this part of the movie is being played up more than it should. After all, Ramandu's daughter won't be in any other films and wasn't in any other books. And to be honest, the effect is ruined after Susan and Caspian's relationship in PC.
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:05 PM
I hope that they have Lucy or Edmund shout "Two-Timer" when they realize that Caspian <3 Lilliandil. I think that the love stuff between caspian and Susan made the PC movie awesome!
Bookwyrm says: June 4th, 2010 on 11:01 PM
I think Lucy and Edmund are a little more mature than that.
Aslan's Meadow says: June 5th, 2010 on 6:29 AM
That would be awsome! They should make a blooper with it.
That would be halarious.
QueenLucy12 says: June 5th, 2010 on 5:00 PM
Omgsh that would be sooo funny for a blooper! lol!!!
HighQueenofNarnia says: June 5th, 2010 on 5:26 PM
Well, judging from your screen name, Casue, you probably would like that little dialogue. But, as all know here, Edmund isn't pleased with his sister and Lucy is slightly confused by Susan's sudden romance with someone they hardly even know. So, they probably wouldn't do it. And they're also old enough to know not to embarrass themselves like that. 😉
Sometimes I wonder if Disney was intentionally trying to ruin VotDT by putting Suspian in the movie! I mean, Caspian, even in Prince Caspian, belongs to RD,L (my abbreviation for Ramandu's Daughter, Lilliandil). So, why ruin a perfectly good romance??? I mean, out of the two explicit canon romances in the entire CoN, they picked the first one they could get their hands on to tear to pieces! (By "explicit canon" I mean those that ended in marriage- I'm not referring to other couples that some think have subtle relationships- including, but not limited to, Eustace and Jill, Tirian and Jill, Tirian and Lucy, Peter and Jill, Edmund and Jill, Polly and Digory, etc.) Now, I know there are those of you who say that Suspian was before RD,L, so apparently it's all right, but if these filmmakers know ahead of time that Caspian's going to eventually marry someone else, why do it in the first place? It doesn't make sense to me to put in a romance between these two characters when it's just going to blow up in your face later because a) the two characters never see each other again and b) one of the characters marries someone else.
Casue says: June 7th, 2010 on 7:47 AM
Okay i need 2 reply to all
BOOKWYRM-Yes Edmund and Lucy might be too mature for that but i can see Edmund being really sarcastic and saying that to get on Caspian's nerves.
ASLANS MEADOW & QUEENLUCY12-Awesome blooper reel material!
HIGHQUEENOFNARNIA-What really struck me as odd was when Susan stopped beliieving in Narnia in the Last Battle. What made her forget? in one of my fanfics i made it so that Caspian was the reason because she didn't want to remember him because it brought too much pain. This could make Edmund and Lucy very very mad with Caspian. I think Dusney and walden media (in this movie it is just Walden and 20 Fox) did the Casue romance to show a coming of age. when someone you love (whether it be romantic or family) it is very hard to let go. Caspian will never see Su again, so she is practically dead to him. if he got over that it would show great responsibility and pscological(i cnt spell) strength.
AslanJudah says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:40 AM
Wish I was the stand in for Caspian. 😉
Narnian_Believer and Lord of the rings lover says: June 3rd, 2010 on 5:33 PM
What do you mean?
AslanJudah says: June 4th, 2010 on 2:39 PM
Because perhaps the stand in for Caspian would be spending time with the stand in for Lilliandil. 😉

Xenithar says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:42 AM
I wonder if the name has any meaning. It is kinda pretty, sounds a bit LotRish, but that doesn't matter, I suppose ^^
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:09 PM
My question: how did you get LotRish out of Lilliandil? Just Sayin'. *You glare at me* What? It is a very good Question.
Quenya says: June 3rd, 2010 on 4:33 PM
Note my explanation above.
sam says: June 3rd, 2010 on 12:22 PM
Lilliandil. sounds enough narnian.
ive never heard of that actress, but shes pretty
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:07 PM
I agree and i hope that she plays her role to our verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry high expectations 🙂
Alambil and Tarvis says: June 3rd, 2010 on 9:37 PM
Well, the actress shown here isn't the one who plays Lilliandil. She's just the stand-in. The actual actress playing the character is Laura Brent.
sam says: June 3rd, 2010 on 12:23 PM
but really, i hope it will stick to the book a lot more than Prince Caspian
TumnusTheBrave says: June 4th, 2010 on 7:53 AM
yea i think so too. The LWW stayed true to the book but Prince Caspian was a little disappointing, Especially when ur expecting something great in the theaters. that just sucks. anyways i really hope they stay true to the book
Alambil and Tarvis says: June 3rd, 2010 on 12:34 PM
I was hoping that they wouldn't give her a name, just to keep that extra aura of mystery to her character, but I actually like the choice; the name sounds like the name of a star, and it has the right aura of mystery that the character does. And it's even better since Doug Gresham picked it out 🙂 It definitely sounds like an echo of Tolkien, but as someone else mentioned, he and Lewis were friends and colleagues, so that's not really a problem. And it's not some ridiculous name that people would come up with for Mary-Sues in fanfics.
I like it. By the time the movie comes out, it will have grown on my so much I'll probably be in love with it. 😀
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 3:02 PM
Beautiful name, but in my fanfic i called her Stella!
Ya kno the thing with the dude yelling "Stella!" in the rain? That was my inspiration

It's fitting for Ramandu's daughter. Bravo, Mr. Gresham.
violetfirekrazed says: June 3rd, 2010 on 4:34 PM
Hhmmmmm, I'm not to keen on it. It somewhat reminds me of Lilith…. I'm not sure why that name has negative connotations in my mind, but it does >.< I think it has something to do with Narnia fandom *chuckles* ya know you're a fan when you constantly get cannon and fandom mixed up 😛
Casue says: June 3rd, 2010 on 6:43 PM
Me too! LIke yesturday i could have sworn i saw a centaur!
Narnian_Believer and Lord of the rings lover says: June 4th, 2010 on 6:02 AM
Really? When I was riding bike, my brother and I thought we saw a Griffon! I am not making jokes either.
Casue says: June 4th, 2010 on 10:19 AM
Me niether but i could have sworn that horse had a human face….maybe someone was just riding it. IDK but it is funner to think that there might be some magic in this world afterall.
Aslan's Meadow says: June 4th, 2010 on 12:08 PM
I saw a white stag out my window, and it wasn't just an alibino buck…becuase it did have a small stripe of light brown on it's back. I was all excited and called up another Narnian fan!!
Narnian_Believer and Lord of the rings lover says: June 4th, 2010 on 6:41 PM
Yeah, that would be cool considering how corrupt this world is already.
HighQueenofNarnia says: June 4th, 2010 on 4:29 PM
VFK, the reason that you have a negative connotation with Lilith is because the WW is descended from Lilith, who "was Adam's first wife".
Casue says: June 5th, 2010 on 8:51 AM
OMG i just remembered that. Also Lilliandil blonde like the witch
TumnusTheBrave says: June 4th, 2010 on 7:49 AM
i think instead of Lilliandil they should have made it just Lillian
Casue says: June 4th, 2010 on 10:20 AM
Lillian is too not Middle Ages to be in Narnia. if it was Lily, then yes cuz that is a flower that was found in the Middle Ages as well as in the present
Casue says: June 4th, 2010 on 10:22 AM
To all my fello Narnia addicts I LOST THE GAME.
HighQueenofNarnia says: June 4th, 2010 on 4:27 PM
The "dil" seems tacked on, but it's a pretty name, nonetheless. I actually wished for RD to remain nameless, as I'm half purist, but I'll have to cope, obviously. I do like the name, and I don't think it's too LotRish, either.
Abren says: June 4th, 2010 on 9:22 PM
Ok….so I can agree she needed more than "Ramandu's daughter" but doesn't any other hardcore Narnia fan like me think that it sounds a bit too much like Lilith? (for anyone that doesn't know, Lilith is the supposedly Adam's other wife who was a jinn, aka: evil ancestor of Jadis the White Witch)???????
And it sounds a bit too "Lord of the Rings".
Also, itsn't…um…."Lilliandil" supposed to be indescribably beautiful?…I mean, this chick is pretty but not a traffic stopper or anything. She looks very "hot girl walking down the street" more than "exotic star-descended beauty" Didn't the book say that "And when they looked at her they thought they had never before known what beauty meant"?
well I guess its all opinions…..
Matthias of Redwall says: June 4th, 2010 on 9:46 PM
ok….that's awesome..Ramandu's daughter
has a name and we know who's playing her…
now….WHO ON EARTH IS PLAYING RAMANDU????
Lillyput90 says: June 5th, 2010 on 12:10 AM
Hey, I just had a thought! The Silver Sea might have had some influence on her name, as the other consideration for the sea was Lily Lake.
Queen Lucy the Valiant says: June 5th, 2010 on 4:42 AM
u might b right lol B)
Neverland Child says: June 5th, 2010 on 9:09 AM
Cool!! Now I can stop calling her Ramandu's Daughter and start calling her Lilliandil!
Jill Pole says: June 5th, 2010 on 11:01 AM
I think that is a great name for Ramndus Daughter. I hope the actress can play her real well. I think Johnny Depp would make the perfect Puddleglum! He is tall and thin and very used to having pale skin and strange hair and he also does different voices very well. Is it just me or can anyone else this him as making a great Puddleglum?
Matthias of Redwall says: June 6th, 2010 on 10:59 PM
wow, I never thought of that…
that's a great idea!!
he totally would make a great Puddleglum!
Jill Pole says: June 5th, 2010 on 11:02 AM
RuralNarniaFan says: June 5th, 2010 on 4:43 PM
Heh, not really what I'd call a star-ish name – but then I don't know what is. xD
I just hope they pronounce it "Lill-ee-AHN-dil" or "Lill-ee-AHN-deel".
HighQueenofNarnia says: June 5th, 2010 on 5:38 PM
I bet that here on NW, there will soon be a member whose username is Lilliandil. 🙂
Probably the same for Narniafans, Aslan's Country, Lion's Call, etc. 🙂
Just a guess!
Katana says: June 5th, 2010 on 9:04 PM
Lilliandil is a good name for Ramandu's daughter its so pretty but also ethreal and mysterious.
loverforben says: June 6th, 2010 on 5:31 PM
Oh, my gosh! She is so beautiful! They have picked a great girl and a great name for Ramondue's daughter!

The US enters World War 1; Selective service act passed
The English-bred colt "Omar Khayyam" became the first foreign-bred horse to win the Kentucky Derby in 1917.
Metro United Way began in 1917 as the Louisville Federation of Social Agencies, the first of its kind below the Mason-Dixon Line, formed as a volunteer-driven federation to coordinate solicitations for and support of human service agencies.
The first meeting of the Federation's board of presidents was on October 25, 1917. Arthur Allen was elected as the chairman, and W. G. Mun was elected as secretary. Charles W. Allen served as the first campaign chair.
During the first campaign, which was a door-to-door canvas for donations, volunteers raised $108,000 from 5,450 contributors. These funds were distributed to 25 Charter agencies. In 1919, the Federation changed its name to the Welfare League.
THE 1920's
Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote is passed.
Wall Street markets crashes in 1928.
In 1923, the Welfare League incorporated and changed its name to the Louisville Community Chest. The campaign that year raised $634,999. In 1928, Mary Stotsenburg became the first paid Executive Director, serving in that role until 1953.
THE 1930's
During January and February 1937, a month of heavy rain throughout the Ohio River Valley prompted the "great Flood of '37", submerging about 70% of Louisville and forcing the evacuation of 175,000.
After the end of prohibition, eight whiskey distilleries opened on 7th Street Road and Louisville attempted to annex them to increase its tax base; they eventually formed a ½ sq. mile city named Shively in 1938.
In 1937, there was a heavy demand for volunteers to help the thousands of people left homeless by the flood of the Ohio River. This led to the development of the Central Volunteer Placement Bureau in 1938, with Mary "Rip" McClure serving as its first president; now known as Metro United Way's Volunteer Connection, it places thousands of volunteers at more than 100 non profit agencies throughout the community each year.
THE 1940's
Federal Food Stamp program is started
Japanese attack Pearl Harbor in 1941
Frank Sinatra signed a contract with Columbia Records, recording nine songs with seven charting on best selling list in 1943.
In 1943, a sea change in fundraising came to Community Chests across the country with the introduction of payroll deduction; this technology allowed employees to donate a portion of each paycheck to the campaign, increasing their ability to make a larger donation. The development of employee group solicitation and payroll deduction were two important aspects of effective cooperation between management and organized labor on behalf of local United Ways.
"Two days pay in '43" was the slogan for the first payroll deduction campaign.
THE 1950's
Chevrolet makes millionth auto in US
The Korean War begins in 1950
Dwight Eisenhower has a heart attack in 1955
Rufus S. Stout, personnel supervisor at National Carbide Corporation, was the first African-American to serve on the Community Chest's Board of Directors. In 1953, Luther Goheen became Executive Director, a position he held until 1964.
THE 1960's
Cuban missile crisis occurs in 1962
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963; Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968
The Chest became an integral partner with the local AFL-CIO in the union counseling training program in 1965, which familiarizes counselors with human services available in the community so that they can best assist their members in need.
THE 1970's
The Kentucky Civil Liberties Union, Legal Aid Society, and NAACP filed suit in federal court to desegregate the Louisville and Jefferson County school systems in 1971 and 1972.
In 1972, the organization changed its name to Metro United Way to reflect the expansion to serve other counties in Kentucky and Indiana. It merged with United Way of New Albany and Floyd County that same year, and added Shelby County in 1974.
THE 1980's
The Falls of the Ohio was granted status as a Federal conservation area in 1981.
In 1981, Metro United Way sold its historic building on Market Street to Farm Credit Bank and purchased its current home at 334 East Broadway from local philanthropist Jane Morton Norton. This historic building, built in 1917, was formerly known as "House Beautiful", the Baptist Women's Missionary Union. Its immediate past owner was WAVE TV, who had covered the stain glassed Gothic windows in front and earned a critic's description as "the toaster cover look".
The organization grew to include Oldham and Hardin counties in Kentucky in 1986, and Harrison County, Indiana, in 1987.
THE 1990's
Thunder Over Louisville officially began in its current location along the Ohio River in 1991 with fireworks, and an annual air show was added in 1992.
In 1991, with Campaign Chair Irving W. Bailey, II at the helm, Metro United Way broke the $20 million mark and Justice William E. McAnulty became the first African-American chair of the Board of Directors. To acknowledge the importance of the contribution of volunteers to Metro United Way throughout its history, the organization established the Continuous Service Leadership Award for Alberta Wood Allen, the daughter-in-law of one of the organization's founders, Charles W. Allen. She became a symbol for volunteer leadership with her 60 years of service and her red plaid suit.
1992 marked Metro United Way's 75th anniversary as well as a crisis involving misuse of funds by the President of United Way of America, the national training and service center for local United Ways. The negative national publicity hurt most local United Ways' campaigns but Metro United Way succeeded in maintaining the same level of contributions as the prior year.
In 1993, United Way of Clark County formally merged with Metro United Way, and Metro United Way held its first Day of Caring, engaging groups of volunteers from local companies in projects to benefit Metro United Way partner agencies.
2000 - 2010
DVD players replace VHS; first iPhone launches
Barack Obama is the first African American to be elected President of the US in 2008
In 2001, Joseph P. Tolan becomes President of Metro United Way and Robert Holmes is named Metro United Way's first African-American Campaign Chair. A major giving initiative for women launched - including a $1 million challenge grant match from Ina Brown Bond - as well as a leadership giving initiative for African-Americans. The fundraising campaign kicked off the morning of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The next day, Metro United Way announced a joint cooperative local effort to assist people affected locally as well as to collect and send donations to national relief funds. Bullitt County joined Metro United Way in 2002. In 2006, Metro United Way's 2-1-1 information and referral service was established, and Thelma Ferguson became the first female African-American Board President.
Curiosity Rover lands safely on Mars in 2012 for a planned 2 year mission, which has been extended indefinitely and remain actively reporting from Mars today.
In 2011, the entrepreneurial early education initiative "Bridges to Tomorrow" - funded with a Gheens Foundation grant - comes to a close and the learnings transition to the formation of Metro United Way's Excellence Academy early learning program, a partnership with Community Coordinated Child Care and the Lift a Life Foundation.
In 2012, a devastating tornado rips through Southern Indiana, leaving many homes destroyed and individuals and families displaced; Metro United Way forms March2Recovery, a disaster recovery team, with partner organizations to lead volunteer coordination efforts. The Mayor's Give A Day Week of Service begins a new volunteer connection partnership with Metro United Way as the backbone organizer for community acts of compassion.
In 2014, Metro United Way launches BLOCS, a partnership with JCPS, Metro Government and the Alliance For Youth to improve a network of quality out-of-school time programs and access to them by community youth. In 2015, the Ready for K Alliance forms with Metro United Way's leadership to unite community early education partners by the aspiration that all children enter kindergarten ready to learn. Metro United Way also launches LINC (Lead. Impact. Network. Change.) to engage adults 30 and under in meaningful volunteer activities; our Black Male Achievement Initiative begins, awarding grants from an innovation fund to grassroots organizations that positively influence young black males.
2-1-1 launches a new call center partnership with the Center for Women and Families in 2016, and Theresa Reno-Weber begins as President & CEO of Metro United Way in our 100th year, 2017.

Niebla laminaria
World Botanical Associates Web Page
Prepared by Richard W. Spjut
April 2003, Oct 2005, Sep 2012
Niebla and Vermilacinia (Ramalinaceae) from California and Baja

Punta Banda, BCN
Niebla laminaria is a Pacific Coast lichen that occurs mostly in California and sporadically southwards in Baja California to the Northern Vizcaíno Desert region. It is recognized by the lichen substance of divaricatic acid (with triterpenes), by the thallus divided into relatively few basal branches (<10) with a dark green rippled and transversely cracked cortex, and by various branch marginal features that include fimbriate, nodular or lobe-like branchlets. This is in contrast to N. eburnea that is distinguished by the yellowish green smooth cortex, and N. homalea identified by the entire branch margins. In Baja California N. laminaria is distinguished from divaricatic-acid species such as N. juncosa and N. undulata by the relatively few rigid branches as related to a thicker cortex and solid medulla.
Thalli of Niebla laminaria show a more complex morphological pattern of identifiable features compared to other related species; however, the various morphs also cannot be confidently assigned to other species. For example, they may resemble N. juncosa, but the cortex is dull and transversely cracked, or they may look like N. undulata but the cortex is too thick and the medulla is too solid, or they may resemble N. eburnea, but lack any definitive shape in development, or they may resemble N. caespitosa, which differs by having broader and more flattened branches with a thinner cortex. The specimen from Pt. Loma is also similar to variants of N. cornea (sekikaic acid) from southern California mainland and Channel Islands. However, the type specimen from Punta Banda, and another specimen from San Nicolas Island, are remarkably similar.

British Heritage Magazine (US)
Another map illustration, this time for British Heritage (US) magazine, for a story about Lizzie from Pride & Prejudice, and her travels through the midlands up to the Peak District. It was nice to draw some familiar landmarks - Warwick Castle was always a classic school trip destination. This map was to run pretty small, just 10cm wide in the page, so I simplified the drawings, focussing on line work & avoiding unnecessary textures & details.
The Wall Street Journal - Off Duty
I don't often show many of these smaller editorial projects, but perhaps they make good blog stories! I was commissioned by The Wall Street Journal to produce another map for their Off Duty section, this time of Provence, showing it's native wine regions. I added a twist of rosé to the colour palette and pared down the labelling. It was refreshing to work on such a simple map which wasn't dominated by landmarks.

Yum! I want to make this!!!!! I love any and all Greek food!
It's All Greek to Me
It was in ancient Greece that the first cookbook was recorded into history. With such a rich culinary history dating back thousands of years, the Greeks have had plenty of opportunity to perfect those amazing dishes. One of the main things that makes Greek food into such great party food, is the many meze or "small plates". They'll make perfect sides for your end of summer BBQ. Here are some great Mediterranean ideas for your next grill fest.
Mini Burgers with Mint and Tzatziki sauce.
2 lb ground beef
1 small onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp mint chopped
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce mixed with 2 tbsp honey for basting
16 mini French dinner rolls.
Tzatziki sauce (recipe follows)
16 slices of roasted red pepper(grill w the other side veggies)
Mix first 8 ingredients together in a large bowl. Shape into patties the size of an ice cream scoop. Should make about 16 mini burgers. Place on a hot grill. Brush with honey mixture on both sides as you grill to your desired done-ness. To assemble: slice open French rolls. Place a slice of roasted pepper (you can grill veggies at the same time as the meat) place the burger, a dollop of tzatziki sauce, and top with the other bun.
Grilled Vegetables
2 zucchini
2 yellow squash
6 small Roma tomatoes
2 red peppers cut into 16 pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
Corse salt
Slice zucchini and squash into quarters and then in half. Slice each red pepper into 8 pieces for a total of 16. Leave tomatoes whole. Place on a baking sheet, toss with oil, salt and pepper. Place veggies directly on the grill, turning occasionally. They cook in about 10 to 15 min.
Tzatziki is a classic Greek yogurt dip that is super delish. Garlicky flavor blended with cucumbers and thick Greek style yogurt, its great as a dip on its own served with veggies, chips, crackers, or bread. Here its makes a great topping for the Mediterranean burgers.
16 oz of Greek style yogurt (the thicker, the better)
1 large English cucumber quartered (if u have only regular you'll need to remove the seeds and peel)
3 cloves garlic
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Some paper towels or cheese cloth for draining the cucumber.
Chop garlic and cucumber in food processor. Since cucumbers contain a lot of water it is important to place them in towels or cheesecloth so you can squeeze as much of the extra water out of them as possible. Do this over the sink. Once you have made them as dry as you can, remove them from the towels and place them in a bowl. Add yogurt, and garlic salt and mix together. Remember to always test for seasoning you may need more. Top with paprika.
Greek Potato Salad
1 1/2 lbs potatoes
6 eggs
1 small red onion diced
1 piece celery diced
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp dill
Boil potatoes and eggs. Potatoes are ready when you can easily insert a fork in them. Eggs should boil 12 min. Drain both and run under cold water in order to cool. Once they have cooled, shell eggs and dice along with the potatoes into a large bowl. Add all ingredients and stir to combine. Test for seasoning. Top with a dusting of paprika.
Hummus with kalamata olives
1 can garbanzo beans drained
3 heaping tbsp of Tahini
Juice from one lemon
3 cloves garlic
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Pitted kalamata olives
Pita bread or crackers to dip
Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Check for seasoning and add more garlic salt it needed. Top with kalamata olives. Serve with pita bread or crackers.

Well the cat's out of the Chanel bag. After month's of speculation that ex French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld was cooking up a magazine of her own and sly little hints her and there she sat down with WWD and spilled all the glorious details. Simply titled CR, the fashion mag will be be released biannually with the first issue hitting your manicured hands in September. The first images from inside CR Fashion Book were revealed as well which are absolutely incredible.
"The name's not a big surprise, but oh well," she explained to WWD. She also released mock-ups of the cover as well as some editorials. Carine described CR as a "celebration of fashion and creativity" from a mix of well-known talents and promising upstarts — and that applies to the photographers, writers, models and stylists. "I'm in the middle of searching for new talents, and it's so exciting and energizing," she said.
Fashion Media Group LLC, the New York-based company behind Visionaire, V and VMan, will publish CR Fashion Book, the magazine's full registered name.
"Carine Roitfeld is one of the most talented editors in our industry. She deserves an editorial platform with which to express herself, and I'm happy to provide one," said Fashion Media founder Stephen Gan. "I hope it will enlighten. I hope it will build bridges not walls. The fashion magazine industry has gotten too political."
Fashion Media is projecting more than 100 pages of advertising in the first 288-page issue, which will carry a cover price of $9.95. Some 50,000 copies will be printed, with roughly half the distribution in Europe, and the balance in Asia and the U.S. Reflecting the title's trendy and freelance spirit, offices will be based at The Standard hotel in New York's East Village. The lucky model on the debut cover is Kati Nescher who was shot by Sebastian Faena. One of our favorite photos from inside the magazine is of Patti Smith wearing a fantastic gown and veil that was captured in dramatic back/white by Bruce Weber.
As for any Anna Wintour harnessed roadblocks against the rumored rival there seem to be none when it comes to designers and advertising. Apparently Roitfeld attended meetings with potential advertisers for the first time in her career — including Gucci, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Cartier and Louis Vuitton — and said she found them "very receptive and eager to participate."
She quoted an Apple Computers slogan from the Nineties — "think different" — as her modus operandi.The magazine itself will be not quite traditional. Very Carine, very French, very not Condé Nast (Vogue's parent company). Roitfeld noted however that she would not be able to work with certain photographers who have contractual ties to other magazines, Mario Testino being one example.
Unusual features of CR extend to advertising: It will only carry spreads, echoing the book-like mission of editorial, with no front-of-book section and only longer-format articles. "I hope people will want to keep it —trendy and timeless at the same time," she said.
CR Fashion Book will also have an online component, which Roitfeld described as "the perfect platform" for front-of-book content across fashion, art and culture. She said the site would be updated frequently, and teasers for upcoming issues will be posted.
Each issue will be constructed around a theme, such as music, or "obsession," which is the case for the mock-up shown to advertisers. Across fashion and beauty spreads, models resembling characters out of William Klein's 1966 French film "Who are you, Polly Magoo?" are depicted gazing at themselves obsessively in mirrors.
Although CR is an English publication, Roitfeld said she intends to publish certain articles in the native language of their author, with translations to be found at the back. For example, if filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar were to pen something for her, it would be in Spanish.
Known for producing provocative and sometimes sexually charged imagery, Roitfeld said she intends to continue styling shoots, and to "find new ways to be irreverent" after some 30 years in the business. "Not necessarily safer, but different," she vowed.
When asked if starting her own magazine and adopting such a non-traditional format compared to her years working at Vogue was some sort of middle-finger laced revenge she diplomatically denies any such notion. "Vogue is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there," she said. "You can't put yourself into competition with a magazine like Vogue; you have to create something new, something different. The page has been turned, it's time to find something new, something fresh — for me and for the readers."

A prologue to the main film finds the young Wyatt boys on the trail with their parents while they were driving their cattle herd to market. The young Duke is thrown clear from the wagon and thought killed and the brother is taken by outlaw leader Jack Curtis.
When the boy grows up to be John Wayne, he's got himself a mission. In a premise similar to the Lone Ranger, Wayne with official territorial permission organizes his own group of law enforcers called the Vigilantes. So they know each other in a fight with large outlaw bands, Wayne has them dress in black, but ride white horses. The get up isn't for style and Wayne instead of one lone Indian sidekick has forty or so men who have sustained similar family losses.
Of course as things go he does eventually meet up with his grown up brother and the gang that kidnapped him. For what happens you have to watch Westward Ho.
Hardly the best or the worst of Wayne's Poverty Row oaters. In fact Westward Ho has some nice production values because it is shot on location and not on the studio back lot. Unusual for a B western of the Thirties.
Not of course to be missed by the many fans of the legendary Duke.

(The wreath hanging on my parents' front door.)
On Sunday we are having a little birthday party for Miss Jubals, and even though everyone coming is family and has already seen our house, today I decided to get with the program when it comes to decorating our walls.
I tripped down to the basement to find boxes of framed photos and art that hadn't been opened since they were packed away 18-months ago. There's no good reason why I hadn't opened them before except that I just didn't feel like it. But now? Well, I decided now was as good a time as any to go through it.
Inside the boxes were nearly all the things we had used to decorate our room and Jules' room. Though I hadn't forgotten about any of them, it was a lovely reunion to see some treasured items and photos that had once sat on shelves and hung from the walls of our former house. Now they have a new spot, a new place to hang, a new light to catch. Our rooms feel a little more complete.
Tomorrow a trip to Target, IKEA, and Costco will hopefully help me put the finishing touches on our place.
This process of turning my grandparents' former house into our house has been an interesting one. I am very content with where we are living now, even though it is certainly much different from where I thought we'd be about this time of year. I remember quite distinctly saying at Jules' birthday party last year, "Next year, we'll be having her party in our new house."
I was partly right. We are having her party at our new house...it's just not the one we were going to build.
The disappointment of not building has faded away. I didn't think it would, but it has. Mostly I'm relieved that we didn't go ahead with building, optimistically assuming that Jason would get a job after leaving his other one. What a disaster that would have been! But going through our stuff today made me a little nostalgic for where we lived. That red vase, the wooden kaleidescope, my favorite candle--I remember where they used to sit. I can picture vividly in my mind how the pictures hung in our bedroom, how the curtains hung in Sydney's room. It was a good house.
Where we live now is good too, just different. It has a different feel (owing, no doubt, to the fact that part of the living space was once a mobile home), but what a blessing that my grandparents' home was available for us to move into, allowing us to live on the Family Farm. If we couldn't have lived here, then life would be much different...and we'd probably be back in Oregon.
Yet, here we are, putting pictures up on the walls, unpacking all the decorations that make a place feel less like a space and more like a home.
We're here, for awhile anyway. Who knows when we'll build. I've been okay with that for quite some time, but it was just today that I really stopped to think about it, moving things around in my mind to see how I feel.
Turns out, I'm feeling okay. And I'm happy that we've found our home for the next few years.

Minxy is also establishing herself as a fledgling record producer. Her newest production - 'Power' remix came out on DJ Debbie D's American record label last year and she has couple more releases coming out soon. At the last six editions of Glastonbury festival, Da' Minx cemented her party credentials, with prime time sets at the legendary Mutoid Waste Company's "The Unfair Ground", voted the best field of Glastonbury 2012 by the Telegraph, as well as Glade, The Common and other stages. Playing sets after Rudimental, Elite Force and Mr Carl Cox himself! Throughout the summer of 2016 she had continued to drop her signature of phat bass at festivals all around the UK and throughout Europe, such as the Secret Garden Party, Beats for Love, Boomtown Fair, Blissfileds as well headlining one of the stages at Portuguese Freekuency festival. In 2014 she popped her Burning Man cherry and even brought the spirit back, playing at the Burn's London Decompression Party. Unlike her role model - Minnie the Minx - Minxy is highly animated behind the decks, and plays tunes that refuse to let you sit still. Originally from the Czech Republic with Russian blood, Mini Da Minx honed her craft DJ-ing in Cape Town. Early signs of a latent talent however were evident when she set up a school radio station – playing the likes of The Prodigy and at the tender age of 15 she became an active member of the Czech Pirate station "RADIO FREEDOM". After a move to Cape Town in 2002 she was pushing Breaks and Underground tunes onto the South African music scene where she worked with African Dope Records hosting numerous events, including Chix in da' Mix. Making an impact with her versatility and original style she began playing prime time sets alongside such industry heavyweights as Freq Nasty, Dj Vadim and Pascal at some of South Africa's biggest festivals – Oppi Koppi, The Cape Town and OBS Festivals. Still involved in radio, but now running her own show, Breaking Point, but this time world wide on Mutha FM. At this time a busy dj-ing schedule included tours of Europe, playing Paris, Edinburgh, Germany and Czech and this led to a move to the British Capital. Since her move to London almost 10 years ago Mini Da' Minx has became a regular player on the UK scene. 2008 saw her begin something of a residency at the Mutoid Waste Company's events, playing at their Mutate Britain exhibitions and including peak-time sets at every Glastonbury Unfair Ground and its previous incarnation Trash City. If you look really hard you can even see her riding on the back of a mechanical Mutoid dinosaur in the Paralympics Closing Ceremony 2012!! In June 2016 she held a full dancefloor for 3.5 hours Mutoid event PUNX: 40th anniversary of punk rock and rave culture at a London square. In her prolific portfolio you can find gigs such as prestigious International Breakbeat Awards, the legendary TCR BBQ, radio shows at Rough Tempo Radio, carnivalesque London night Rumpus, opening and closing seasons in Chamonix, and at Krafty Kuts' popular night in London. Minxy continue her forays into production working alongside producers such as Vlad (TCR) and Wreckage (Wall of Sound). Watch this spaces for two new releases coming out soon.
