Lock Haven Express (Newspaper) - February 19, 1890, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania oeitm EIGHTH YEAll-NO 2i)0. LOCK HAVEST, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUAKY 19, 1890. PBICE-TWO CENTS. EVENING EXPRESS KI.VSLOK BKOTHEKS---PtlBMSHBKS HESPL.T OF TUB c1t1t EUSOTIOIf, Joseph Grafius, the best Treasurer that Lock Haven ever bad, Was defeated jester-(lay fur a third term by his Democratic com politer, Geo. P. Shaffer. Mr, Grafius made a gitUaut fight and although defeated goes doiro with colors flying. It wasopposition iu bis own party that largely biongbtabout hia defeat and what satisfaction there is for the Republicans who engaged in Buob work is not apparent to the average mind, E/erybody concedes' that Mr. Grafius bas served tho people well as City Treasurer and had be been elected there is no doubt he would have continued to do so. We hoped and believed that be would be elected, but as the majority has decided otherwise we accept this decission with the bjst grace possible. The Republican majority iu this city is too small for the party to engage in faotional fights at the polls and it was through Republican votes that the Democrats gained their victory. The successful candidate for City Trea* urer, Mr. George P. Shaffer, is a gentleman well liked by ail who know him, and be conducted his personal canvass in an honorable and gentlemanly manner. If he makes as good a Treasurer as the gentleman whom he is to succeed, the people will not regret their choice. The Republican tickets in the First and Second wards also suffered from seratchlng and as a result the candidates for Council and School Director in the First ward were defeated, and the Councilman and one School Director in the Seoond were snowed under S. Z. Martin, the Republican candidate for the long term in the School Board from this ward, narrowly escaped defeat, his majority being only three. Tfce strong effort to beat Alderman Parsons, the Republican candidate, for re-eleotion in this ward came near being successful, as be is elected by only one majorty. In the Third and Fourth wards the Republican candidates for Council were successful and Captain Michaels is re-elected in the latter ward for School Director. There will bo no change in City Council, the political complexion of the new Couo- j cil beiU� the same as the present oue, viz:. Seven Democrats and five Republicans. The Democrats gain two School Directors and the new Board will be a tie, six Re publicans and six Democrats. The present Aldermen iu the Second, Third and Fourth wards are re-elected, the Republi. cans having two and the Democrats one. RESULT IN THE STATE. Senator Keybuni Will Succeed the Late Judge Kelley. BEPTJBLIO ASS WIN TS PHILADELPHIA CURRENT COMMENT. "United we stand, divided we fall." Tnis is the "I told you so" man's busy day. Utah is putting on her wedding garments. Nature has wisely arranged matters so that a man can neither pat his own back nor kick himself. The English Government proposes to make seven hours the legal day for clerks in the departments. A jiUiiBEit of Pennsylvania towns, we observe have taken steps to celebrate the coming birthday or the Father of his Country with appropriate ceremonies. It is recognized as a general principle in morals and manners, says the Philadelphia Press, that the man who sends an ia-fernal machine is an infernal scoundrel, This would seem to take in the Mississippi man who recently sent such a maohine to Senator Iogalls, and yet this cannot be, for Mississippi turns out poly high-toned, chivalrous gentlemen, as all the world knows through the South's own declara tiou. West VntmxrA la described by tourists as something of an earth ly paradise. The climate is genial, the soil is fertile, the air is healthful, the scenery is beautiful- as Bishop Rebel's hymn sums it op; "Every prospect pleases and only man is vile." But intending settlers who read of the frequent White Cap outrages in that State, conclude that the indigenous man is too vile for them, and so they go farther to find their homes, and West Virginia remains a wilderness. A pioneer corps of missionaries is badly needed in that State. The O'gfiea xMvorce Soft. London, Feb. 18.-In the probate divorce and admiralty division of the High Court of Justice to-day Justice Butt refused to grant the application made in behalf of Captain O'Sbea for tho writ of attachment against the manager* of the Star and tho London edition of the New York Herald for publishing certain comments relative to the action for diroroe brought by Captain O'Shea against his wife in which Mr. Parnell is named as corespondent. In the case of the Freeman's Journal, of which paper similar application was made, tho court imposed a fine of �100 besides compelling him to pay the costs of tho action. Everhart's grove, West Chester, is full of blackbirds. j Tb� Whole City Ticket does Through By tho Ceual Sweeping Majority-What the Returns From tb* Various Cities and Towns of tbe htate Show-The RepabU-cana Helntatn Their Standlog. Psiladeu'hia, Feb. 18-A local elee tiou for Receiver of Taxes, City Solicitor, Councilmen and twenty-one police magistrates was held to-day. At the same time a separate election for the unexpired term of the late Judge Kelley, was held in the Fourth Congresaional district. On account of the length of tbe ticket and the amount ol cutting indulged in by the adherents of the rival magistrate candidates, only the most meagre returns have been received up to midnight. Tbe indications are, however, that John E. Reyburn, Republican, will be Judge Kelley'e successor in Congress by a slightly reduced majority. Captain John Taylor, Republican, was elected Receiver of Taxes, and Charles T. Warwick, Republican, was re-elected City Solicitor by about tbe nsnal majorities. merkitt fob, mayor of ukad1no.

Keller, Republican, was elected Mayor of this city to day by a majority of 735, over the present incumbent, James S. ForeB-roan, Democrat. This is a severe rebuke to Mayor Foresman, who nrade a hitler fight for re election. His defeat, iu mainly attributed to the scandal iu connection with the disbursement of tbe Hood relief funds. Dan Riley, the labor candidate, falls far below expectations, while the Prohibition rote is insignificant. Staugbton George, tbe Democrat City A tM'EEK LAW SUIT. the Ex Alt Alined Cue or nods* tout of H�,70O. SirequEHANKA, Pa., Feb. 18.-Susque. banna oounty is greatly excited over a very queer law suit. Philander Brown and his wife, of Lathi op township, were last week arrested and brought before 'Esquire CourtrighC, in Moutroae, charged by Paul Hill, of Latbrop, with fleecing him out of $3,700. Hill says that Brown and bis wife claimed to be Spiritualists; that they represented to him that Jesus Christ was in need of a large sum of mosey and that be (Hi))) must (apply it. Brown also claimed that he bad received letters asking formouey and signed "Jesus ChrtBt," and that ho had also received letters purporting to have come from a deceased relative stating that be was very much in need of money and clothes. After one of tbe most exciting trials ever held in this country Brown and his wife were held to bail, iu default of which they were sent to jail. Brown now brings suit against Hill and A. EI. McCollum, his attorney, for damages amounting to $100,000, and also against Constable Orlando Watrous and 'Esquire Courtright for 410,000 each for false imprisonment. Mr. McCollutn is a brother of J ustice McCollum, of tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. What the final result of this strange case will be it Is hard at this time to predict. ELECTION IN THE CITY. A Factional Fight Elects a Democratic City Treasurer. BESULT IN THE VAEI0US WARDS, PUNGKST POT POUM. To-Klghl's Attraction. Jules Verne's imaginary trip, "Around the World in Eighty Day's," has been brought prominently before the public by reason of the recent achievements of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth liisland, and of oourse the dramatization of the strange story is full of interest. It is a spectaoular production, and wilt be presented at the Opera Honse this evening. Tbe tourists go through so many countries, all of which are picturesque, that there is opportunity to make a good display in the way of scenery, which is taken advantage of in all the six acts. Tableaux are shown of the Suez canal, an Eastern buugalo and pagoda, a funeral pyre designed for a pretty widow, a hotel at Calcutta, a station on the Union Pacific railway in a snow storm, the Rocky Mountains, a train of snow-covered cars, csbiu and deck of a steamship, a startling explosion on the ship, when tbe boilers burst and tbe ship goes down (tbe most effective Iu tbe piece), a hotel in Liverpool, club rooms and others, which furnish a great variety for tbe setting of the incidents of the journey. The company is a good one, oompriBiug a full ballet corps and many specialty artists. The trip across tbe American continent is a startling bit of realism, and the play throughout is full of exciting and laughable incidents. The Snwtvlle Property Attached.

UB SWOIttt AT li.UNBOH'S. EMBEZZLEB8 SHUT OUT OF CANADA The New Arrangement CUasitles Under Kx-traditable Offenses, Manslaughter, Counterfeiting, Kmbezalement, Fraud, Perjury, and Various Other Minor Charges. Washington, Feb. 18.-The Senate baa ratified the British extradition treaty, with a few important amendments. Tbe treaty makes the following crimes extraditable in addition to those specified in tbe treaty of 1842. 1. Manslaughter 2. Counterfeiting or altering money or putting the same la circulation. 3. Embezzlement, laroenoy, obtaining money or goods under false pretenses or receiving the same knowing them to have been rongfully obtained. 4. Fraud by bailee, banker, agent, factor, trustee, director, or officer of any company made criminal by the laws of both countries. C. Perjury or subordination of perjury. - 6 Rape, abduction, ohild stealing, kidnapping. 7. Burglary. 8. Piracy by the law of nation*. 9. Mutiny at sea, wrongfully sinking or destroying a vessel or attempting to do so, assaults on the high seas; 10. Crimea and offenses against the laws of both countries; for the suppression of slavery and slave trading. Extradition is not to be had for politioal offences, nor shall any person sarrendeied by either party be tried for any offense than the one for which he was extradited. Tbat it shall not apply to any crimes committed before its ratification. During the discussion of tbe measure which lasted abont two hours, several efforts were made to amend it in important particulars, but these were not successful The principal points of attack were the sections including manslaughter and obtaining goods or money under false pretenses. Tbe amendments that were made are said to be of an unimportant character, and it is expected that they will be accepted by the British representative, without serious objections. Tbe discussion lasted two hours and two changes of importance were adopted by the Senate. Tbe word "voluntary" was inserted before manslaughter, thus limit ing the degree of that crime whieh is made extraditable. The paragraph ielating to the crime of obtaining money or goods under false pretenses was substantially modified, if not stricken oat. With these changes the treaty is said to have met the approval of tbe Democratic Senators, and the vote in its favor is understood to have been practically unanimous. Yesterday In Congress.

The fight was fierce throughout. Griffon was badly punished; hia lips and nose were out and swollen, and bis body covered with blood. He fought a game battle, however, although Mahan forced the fighting nearly all tbe time. Griffen then made a savage attack in almost every round and made it uncomfortable for the San Francisco man. Griffen was knocked down half a dozen times in the last three rounds, bat struggled gamely to his feet until a terrific blow in tne jaw finally seat him to the floor. His head struck the boards beavily and he was picked up insensible. � �� � -> Leather Factories to Close.

Pesth, Feb. 18.-Count Julius An-drassy, the well known Hungarian statesman, who has been 111 for some time � Volosea, near Fiume, died^today, aged sixty-seven. ;!.-.; l' A Cari itm Story About 2>rceidontial�:lc<-'tiun Nhiht lu the White House. This story is from tho St. Louis Qlobe-Demoerat: "The Illinois Democrats propose to nominate John M. Palmer for United States Senator, and make a personal campaign, it is said. That is provocation for the narrative of au incident at the White House on Election night 1888. Mr. Cleveland and his Cabinet were gathered in tbe library, reading the returns as they were taken by au operator in tbe next room, Sir. Cleveland has never been accused of rainbow chasing. He is levelheaded when it comes to election-returns. He demonstrated tbat quality on this particular occasion. Enough had been received to show about what the city of New York and Kings county would do, "The President got up from his chair and began to walk the floor in a deliberate manner. Some figures came from the interior of New York State. One was from Roscoe Conkliog's old home, where, in 1884, there had been defection from Blaine sufficient to elect Cleveland. Tbe President took this return and compared it with tbe figures of four years before. He saw tbat Harrison had recovered the lost Republican vote in tbe interior of tbe State. He made a rapid calculation and said: " 'Gentlemen, we have lost.' Then he resumed hia paeing. Nobody spoke for a few moments. At length Postmaster-General Dickinson broke the silence. He said: " 'Mr. President, I am inclined to wait for further figures ; I don't by any means give up yet. We have beard nothing from Michigan, so far. Our prospects there are very bright, I can assure you, from personal information.' 'The President had halted as Mr. Dickinson began to speak. He listened until his Postmaster-General had finished, and without a word, he resumed his tramp across the room. In a few minutes a telegram from Detroit was banded in. It announced that Michigan bad gone Republican 'by the usual majority.' 'The oppressive silence which ensued was broken by Secretary of Agriculture Norman J. Coleman, of Misaourri, who, with cheerful optimism, argued: ' 'Wait till we bear from Illinois, Mr. President. I know something of the situation there. Tbe honest yeomanry are thoroughly aroused upon this issue of Tariff reform. General John M. Palmer bas made a gallant fight. I shall not give up bope until we have heard from Illinois.' "The President had stopped as Secretary Colman began to talk. He heard him through and simply said as he resumed his march: "Oh,-!"' The County Fair. This is an affecting and vivid story of domestic joy and sorrow, of home life and rural scenes. It iB founded on the popular play of the same name, in which Neil Burgess, who is also the author of tbe story, has achieved the dramatis success of the season. The story is a faithful reproduction of the drama in the form of an extremely captivating romance, with tbe same unique characters, tbe same graphio scenes,.: hut with the narrative more artistically ronnd-ed, and completed than was possible in the brief limits of a dramatic representation. This touching story effectively demonstrates that it is possible to produce a novel which is at once wholesome and interesting in every part, without the introduction of an impure thought or suggestion.

How Will I Be Remembered? A Mom for all Seasons
We often mark the milestones of our homeschooling journey in terms of our children--their growth, their academic achievements, and their accomplishment of various goals. Yet, our loving Father completes a work in us during this time, too, that does not always get as much attention or affirmation. Belinda will inspire us in the art of incorporating self as a learning tool in our schools, recognizing who we are as "the oldest student at the table," and being cognizant of how God can use our life experience to teach our children far more than they will gain from any book. WE are the best living book they will ever read. What's in your classic, and are you willing to pass it on?


text: medicine Welcome To The Poison Garden: Medicine's Medieval Roots By Joanne Silberner • Apr 27, 2017 From the front door of the glass-walled gift shop at the Alnwick Garden in the far northeast of England, the scene looks innocent enough. A sapphire green English lawn slopes gently downward, toward traditional, ornamental gardens of rose and bamboo. Across the small valley, water cascades down a terraced fountain. But a hundred or so plantings kept behind bars in this castle's garden are more menacing — and have much to tell visitors about poison and the evolutionary roots of medicine.

Doctors revived Chris' heart, but struggled to stabilize his temperature and blood pressure. At some point, a doctor or nurse mentioned to LePage that his son had agreed to be an organ donor. "There was no urgency or, 'Hey, you need to do this.' I could see genuine concern and sadness." LePage says, his voice quavering. Integrative Medicine: Who Makes The Rules?

At least Packers win the ratings battle
It's conventional wisdom that football trumps everything on television, and the ratings for last night's Monday Night Football game prove the point.
The local telecast of the ESPN game on WISN-TV (Channel 12) dwarfed the competition - earning a 39.5, lets call it a 40 - average household rating between 7:30 and 10:45 pm.
The ratings peaked at a 41.6 at 10:15 p.m. and stayed in the 40s until the game reached its sad, controversial conclusion. WISN-TV's newscast following the game, which included coverage of press conferences by Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, earned a 19.4 rating.
Competition on other networks did fairly well considering the competition.
A two-hour episode of NBC's "The Voice," on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) earned a 5.7 rating. "Revolution," which followed, earned a 5 rating. CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (Channel 58) aired a lineup of season premieres: "How I Met Your Mother" earned earned a 6 rating; "Partners," 3.6, "2 Broke Girls," 5.6, "Mike and Molly," 4.8; and "Hawaii 5-0," 3.3. "Bones" on Fox affiliate WITI-TV (Channel 6) earned a 6.7 and "The Mob Doctor" a 2.9.
Nationally, meanwhile, the game earned an impressive 11.5 rating on ESPN, and postgame coverage was the most-watched "Sports Center" ever, with a 5 rating.

This article references the following segment of the Rachel Maddow Show, from December 2, 2008:
On The Rachel Maddow Show tonight, Richard Engel reported that India's escalation of rhetoric towards Pakistan, combined with the Mumbai attacks, might result in Pakistan moving their troops away from the Afghanistan border over to the India border. There is historical precedent - Pakistan did exactly this the last time Mumbai was attacked in 2001, when India blamed Pakistan for those attacks. This would leave our supply lines for the troops in Afghanistan vulnerable to attack. So the follow-up question that I would like someone to look into is - is that part of the point of the Mumbai attacks? To increase tensions between Pakistan and India so that Pakistan moves their troops? Could there be coordination between the terrorist group in Kashmir and the Taliban and/or al Queda?
I sent the above questions to the Rachel Maddow Show earlier this evening. My question to readers is, what do you think? Am I off my rocker, so to speak? Or am I justified in being paranoid?

Nursing Program
Department of Nursing Philosophy
The philosophy of the Department of Nursing is consistent with the philosophy and objectives of Mt. San Antonio College, which is to meet the educational goals and aspirations of the communities it serves with special sensitivity to serving those who are under-represented. The faculty of the Department of Nursing, as well as the College, actively supports equal opportunity, academic freedom, open access, and high academic standards.
The philosophic approach to the curriculum of the Department of Nursing is the Neuman Systems Model, which utilizes General Systems Theory. The model is based upon Neuman's view that the nurse, client, or both in the holistic system are continually reacting to internal and external environmental stressor influences. The major concern for nursing is in keeping the client system stable through accuracy both in assessing the effects and possible effects of environmental stressors and in assisting client adjustments required for an optimal wellness level. Nursing actions are initiated to best retain, attain, and maintain optimal client health or wellness, using three preventions as interventions to keep the system stable. In keeping the system stable, the nurse creates a linkage among the client, the environment, health and nursing.
Consistent with faculty belief and basic to these concepts, the individual is a bio-psycho-social and spiritual being; an open system in constant interaction with the environment which attempts to maintain a state of equilibrium by adjusting to the environment or adjusting the environment to the individual. Through a process of interaction and adjustment, the individual maintains varying degrees of harmony and balance between the internal and external environment. Each individual maintains an internal set of resistance factors, which attempt to stabilize and return to the normal line of defense should a stressor become evident.
The nursing faculty believes that the purpose of nursing is to assist individuals or families to achieve and maintain a state of equilibrium and a maximum level of wellness utilizing the nursing process as a problem-solving approach. The nursing profession is a health-oriented discipline which must be guided by the needs of the society it serves.
The educational process used in the nursing curriculum prepares adults to be responsible for personal attainment of objectives at mastery level through the use of pedagogical methods, which address a variety of learning styles. Faculty believes that given appropriate time, instruction, feedback, and practice, mastery will be achieved.
The graduates of Mt. San Antonio College's Associate Degree Nursing Program are competent nurse generalists who have a sound knowledge of the nursing process and related sciences. They have been exposed to technology and informatics and actively operate computers in the classroom to conduct information searches and research via the Internet. In the clinical setting, computers are used for data input, reports and documentation. Graduates possess the clinical skills required to function as registered nurses. As members of health care teams, Mt. SAC graduates are prepared to work with others and take responsibility for their own actions.

I am a mistress of spices.
I can work the others too, mineral, earth, metal and sand and stone. The gems with their cold, clear light, the liquids that burn their hues into your eyes 'till you see nothing else.
I learned them all on the island,
but the spices are my love.
The words are from the novel The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Divakaruni, acclaimed author and professor in the acclaimed Creative Writing Program. Housed in the department of English, the nationally-ranked Creative Writing Program brings blossoming poets and novelists together with scholars and accomplished writers who share their practical and professional experiences about the industry and craft.
"A lot of my writing deals with diversity, particularly in the Indian immigrant community. And my hope certainly is that readers, when they come across these stories, begin to see, oh, these people are really very like us. We share a common and deep humanity. And this is what I tell my students, as well, that literature writing can bring about togetherness in a world that really needs it," Divakaruni said. She is the author of more than 15 books, including Shadowlands and The Palace of Illusions.
Directed by Professor James Kastely, the Creative Writing Program faculty include many greats of the literary world including poet Tony Hoagland (Donkey Gospels, What Narcissism Means to Me), author Nick Flynn (Another Bullsh*t Night in S*ck City, The Ticking is the Bomb) and graphic novelist Mat Johnson (Incognegro, Dark Rain). Past faculty include Donald Barthelme, Edward Hirsch, Ruben Martinez, Kimiko Hahn and Claudia Rankine.
"Our students have a great advantage because they have decided early on that this is what they want to focus on. This is their path. This is the bliss they're going to follow," she said. "They are much more organized about it and just being in a writing program allows them to learn everything in a more organized manner—independent study or master workshop. They'll get a lot of help along the way. A lot of what I had to learn on my own."
Students learn about themselves as writers as they work with each other through workshops and seminars.
"I think real success is when they come back years later and say, 'you know what, these years over here, they really made a difference to me. They made me into the kind of writer I am happy to be today.'"
Creative Writing Program is part of what's happening at the University of Houston. I'm Marisa Ramirez.

Sleepy Time Jary Bear by ~ShadowedPorcelain A lovely little friend to keep you company while you rest. ( Suggested by AshleyxBrooke and Featured by UnicornReality )
when u sell a kit, pattern and instructions on making the toy does it tell you how to do everything? ive never done needle felting or used joints, if, for example, i wanted all that for a toy like this would i get in a kit all of the mediums you mentioned in the list above/? e.g what is upcycled polyfil and if that was included i'd be told where to use it and how right?
Yes it tells you how to do everything and what extra materials you will need to get. I would of course recommend starting with a kit without needle felting (Jary doesn't require needle felting) if you are uncomfortable with just diving right into it.

CBS' latest revamp of its morning-news show hasn't yielded much ratings growth: Preliminary ratings for the first two days reveal the show is up slightly or flat vs. recent weeks, but down from last January, when its predecessor introduced the last crop of newcomers. (So are rivals).
"We are very well aware that CBS has not been No. 1 since Captain Kangaroo," says co-host Gayle King of CBS This Morning, which replaced The Early Show on Monday. "I believe you keep trying until you get it right."
Though initially promoted as a harder-news alternative to bigger rivals, NBC's Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America -- producers promised to avoid fashion and cooking segments, and there's no weatherman -- the first few shows have not been shy on softer features.
"We're not trying to reinvent the wheel," says news anchor Erica Hill, the show's only holdover. "We have the chance to have a conversation, to let it go a little bit longer, and it's more involved." (She rises at 2:45 a.m.; King's alarm goes off at 4:12, but she says she snoozes for three more minutes.)
Is there an adjustment for night-owl Charlie Rose, who's keeping his nightly PBS talk show and sleeps in until 5-ish? "The pacing is different from a long-form interview," he says. "I don't know of a guest that's worthy of an hour," he says. Though he might make an exception for Nelson Mandela.

In You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, Alain Resnais and Company Face the Past and Their Art
Alain Resnais's You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet seems to make its high-concept setup clear the very moment it begins. After its cartoonish credits sweep through a thick bank of CG fog, we're greeted by a catalog of the director's regulars seen in cross-fades as they're invited to a deceased friend's will-reading ceremony — an event which brings together a veritable who's who of classic French cinema for an evening of mourning and performance. Rounding up the usual suspects for a bit of dinner theater at a mansion tucked away in the Alpes-Maritimes mountains might seem to fit too snugly in the purview of an old man's cinema, but Resnais, now 91, still has the puckish sensibility of an artist a quarter his age. The title isn't meant to be taken as ironic: This is the work of a director very much capable of surprise.
The reunion and commemoration of these familiar faces — among them Michel Piccoli, Lambert Wilson, Anne Consigny, Pierre Arditi, Mathieu Amalric, Anne Duperey, and Sabine Azema, all (ostensibly) playing themselves — represents only one of the many layers in the deceptively simple You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, perhaps the richest of Resnais's recent efforts. The group's dearly departed mutual friend, a fictional playwright named Antoine d'Anthac (Denis Podalydes), has posthumously gathered everyone in a lounge-like screening room at his home in Peillon, where a Kubrickian caretaker presents a video welcome from the deceased and a recording of a young theater company rehearsing a new production of his adaptation of Eurydice.
The choice has a special significance for the members of this group, who have not been invited arbitrarily. Each of the party attendees, we learn, has performed in this play for d'Anthac over the years, several of them as the same character several decades on (he has even invited two sets of leads). As the show unfolds before them, their faces rapt, these legends of the French cinema find themselves plunged through a shared personal history and back into the world of the play, as if their youth were restored through the power of performance.
You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet
You Ain't Seen Nothin' YetStarring Mathieu Amalric, Pierre Arditi, Sabine Azema , Hippolyte Girardot, Anne Consigny, Michel Piccoli, and Lambert Wilson. Directed by Alain Resnais. Written by Laurent Herbiet and Alex Reval. 115 minutes. Not rated. Opens Friday, August 2, at Bill Cosford Cinema.
Suddenly it seems as though the line dividing one fiction from another — the elder actors playing themselves watching a play on one side, the younger actors recorded performing Eurydice safely on the other — has ruptured, and in through the tear rushes torrents of half-remembered dialogue from one realm of performance to the next. This heady confluence of realities and fictions, in which d'Anthac's assembled mourners begin to mount their own impromptu Eurydice, creates echoes and reflections through the cinema and through French history that enrich both the film and its source text. Like Matías Piñeiro's superb Viola and the Taviani brothers' flawed but compelling Caesar Must Die, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet revitalizes the project of theatrical adaptation by making the act of line-reading and performance itself the subject of the film.

Erin from Single-ish here! I just flew down to Brazil for Fashion Rio, the fashion week in Rio de Janeiro, and I thought I'd crash STF in order to share with you some sexy looks I saw on my trip. (Meanwhile, to check out some __hot__male models, click here.) The city of Rio has a really sexy vibe. So what* is* it about it that's so...*sizzling (other than the 100-degree temperatures)? Here are five tips I picked up for dressing like a carioca *(sexy person) from Rio!:
1. Wear bright, eye-catching colors. Everyone on the planet will notice you. (Also, love the tan!)
__2. Elongate your legs with super tall stilettos.__In heels, your stride will look longer. Also, your gams will get extra mileage if you wear shoes that show the tops of your feet (check out the hot numbers seen at the Espaco Fashion show).
__3. Wear a belt.__Even if you're sporting a big trench coat—as seen at Mara Mac—belt it! Men like a nipped-in waist. If you wear a big silhouette, they can't tell if you have a figure or not (and for some reason, this is one time they don't like to use their imagination).
5. Look thinner instantly in a color block dress with a different color on the sides. One of the greatest tricks ever—seen at Acquastudio, Filhas de Gaia, and Mara Mac—is to create the illusion that you're slimmer than you are. Some cycling shirts have this pattern, but now we're seeing it on the runway—and hopefully more in stores soon.
What do you think of these Rio designers? Which style trick is your favorite? How 'bout those outfits--which of them would you wear?

Hope your friend gets the help she needs. Prayers for her everose
Prayers for your friend, Di. I only have 3/4 yard of the the black with the white swirls, but if you can't find it, I can share it with you and use the other b/w. It came from JoAnn's quite recently - I have been collecting b/w fabrics for a sampler. I don't think I'll be in Traverse City until the third so if you can't find it by then, I'll get some for you or cut mine, whatever. Great minds think alike. I cut out a burgundy/green Spicy Spiral today, too. I need to set up a third machine - one for FMQ the bazaar quilt, one for the Spicy Spiral and one for the mystery. I guess the SS and the mystery can share.
I'll be late to the cutting directions. There's a good quilt show in McBain Saturday. I won some FQs for a door prize last year.
I'll bring a crockpot of hot chocolate made with good chocolate. We need it here - cold and damp again.
COLD? Damp? um are you on a different train or still packing your bags? we hit 80 yesterday and will again today. Not slowing down for another four or five days. then maybe fall or maybe snow. they say snow.. we will see I suppose I would have to pack my tank tops and please save me some of that hot chocolate. It would be lovely then! I think the fabrics are all so very different. I am excited to see all the works in progress to see how one pattern can become so many different things. I am going to check out that pattern site.. I need two quilt patterns for future wedding quilts (bucket list) and two baby quilt patterns also busy beaver this next year. oh and the red/white quilt I want for me and the Christmas one and .. I guess I had better book myself now before my calendar fills up with projects (MINE). check back tomorrow to see what other jewels are posted. I could shop all your fabric choices and be very happy.
Attachment 370931Okay, here it is. The new brights in my life. Now I am really anxious to start. Planning on taking my lap top with me to MI so that I can keep up with QB threads. So interesting to see what everyone is doing.
Haven't talked to my friend. But in contact with someone who has more knowledge about the case. Do have a phone number, but am going to wait a couple days, because she is VERY ANGRY right now. Limited phone use will help her (hopefully) work on getting well. She will not be able to leave hospital, but when her "dander" is up, she may refuse help. I fear for her life and fear what will happen to her kids (her mother is taking care of them, which is another whole story). Thanks for the prayers!!!
jaba - glad it is going easier the second time around
everything - looks good
Everose - wonderful colors, A-E are great choices. When we get to clue 4 on Nov 3 you may want to pick an E with a bit more contrast to your AB colors. But love your brights.
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we start to cut and sew insted of rummaging through fabric!
Everose, I love your C fabric. Who makes that? I've never seen it before.
I am getting my fabric together and will post a pic for any suggestions for changes, just as soon as DH has time to shoot them. On board with homemade chocolate chip cookies, fruit & milk.

Home builders expect soft landing
Page Tools
Graphic: Nathaneal Scott
Australia's housing sector is expected to hold its trajectory for a soft landing as fears of another interest rate hike fade and the economy continues to cool.
Australia's peak housing body in its national June quarter outlook today forecast a 12 per cent fall in the number of housing starts for 2004/05.
A further fall of four per cent to 145,600 over the next financial year is also expected.
Housing Industry Association senior economist Harley Dale said slower times were ahead but the doom and gloom predictions for the industry were wide of the mark.
"Housing activity is easing, the house price cycle has peaked and the housing industry is in for a slower couple of years," Mr Dale said.
"A slowdown is not the same as a savage correction, however, and it is extremely difficult to find a trigger which would take us from the first current case to the second."
He said the Reserve Bank of Australia's March interest rate rise and subsequent reporting of weak growth had unsettled the industry in the quarter.
However, housing was now in a stabilising pattern.
"The labour market has remained strong while at the same time overall economic developments have moved us further away from another interest rate increase and consumer confidence has mounted a reasonable recovery," Mr Dale said.
He said while the economy was slowing, the cooling would be relatively measured.
"We hold with our view for a moderate down cycle for the housing industry," he said.
"From 2006/07 we would expect to see some sustained life coming back into the industry.
"Starts are forecast to increase by five per cent over the two years to 2007/08, taking them to a level of over 162,000."
He said renovation activity had peaked and was forecast to ease back by six per cent from 2004/05 before bottoming out at a reasonable figure of $20.7 billion in 2006/07.
"Overall, there is little prospect of capital growth in housing for some years ahead," Mr Dale said.
"In the absence of an external shock, which is hard to gauge, or a significant rise in interest rates, which we just can't see happening, there is simply no catalyst out there for a substantial pullback in house prices over the next couple of years."

A rule of thumb quoted on page 143 of a UN document (below) is to round
the standard error to two significant digits and then report that many
digits in the main estimate. The Oxford Journals have this guideline:
"Numbers in the articles and tables should be reported with no more
precision than they merit. Careful thought, not computer packages or the
need to align tables, should govern how many significant digits are
reported. Remember that significant digits are not the same thing as the
total number of digits reported. Do not report more significant digits
than the standard errors suggest."
Thus you are justified in reporting that the median is $37,200 with
standard error $1,700. You would round the CIs in the same way.

Bethenny Ever After - Season 3 Episodes
Bethenny Ever After - Season 3
The sale of SkinnyGirl cocktails introduces some added luxuries into Bethenny Frankel's life: an incredible new apartment, trips to exotic locales, and a larger staff are all part of the perks. But that doesn't mean Frankel's sitting idle; the quick-witted New Yorker is still living life in the fast lane, juggling her many roles as wife, mother, and mogul in Bethenny Ever After.
"Mo' Money, Mo' Problems"
Bethenny shows no sign of slowing down. The new season kicks off with a party for the first new cocktail since the sale of Skinnygirl– friends old and new are in attendance, even TODAY show host, Hoda Kotb along with her boyfriend Jay. Bethenny takes life in the public eye in stride but Jason struggles with the constant attention. Parties and press interviews are only a fraction of the new parent's hectic schedule - managing their second year of marriage, caring for their daughter Bryn and purchasing a new apartment are just some of the challenges ahead.
"Alias Benjamin Frankelin"
Bethenny decides to have a good old fashioned girl's weekend in her favorite stomping ground – Montauk. With Bryn, Dawa and Cookie by her side, Bethenny turns off the world and takes a drive out to the beach. She lavishes her closest girlfriends with a summer weekend getaway and in turn they put pressure on her to have a second baby. The weekend is full of fun, sun, clambakes and a revelation that Bethenny after the success, she has trouble trusting anyone other than her oldest and closest friends.
"The Damaged One"
Bethenny decides to work on her matchmaking skills, her targets - Julie's sister Jonie and her partner in Skinnygirl Daily Nutrition, Matt. The two hit it off, but the next day, Bethenny and Jason end up fighting about Bethenny's "inappropriate" line of questioning. Back in the city, it's time to get the apartment renovation underway and Jason reminds their stellar design team that he would like to be considered as they put the pieces together. In Bethenny's weekly session with therapist, Dr. Amador he proposes a couple's workshop on his boat for Bethenny and Jason to work on their issues.
"Shrink Resistant"
Marital tensions plague Bethenny and Jason just as their new apartment's design team also clash. The couple's marital discord culminates with an explosive argument right before their therapy boating trip. Meanwhile, friction mounts with assistant Julie.
Jason joins Bethenny for their therapy boating trip, but rough waters are ahead when Jason gets seasick and the onboard global-positioning system breaks down, rendering them lost at sea.
"Maternal Instincts"
Life is back to normal and Bethenny and Jason are going full steam ahead on the apartment remodel. Closet space is of the utmost importance to Bethenny so she meets with a closet designer. In order for Bethenny to get her dream closet Jason will have to sacrifice and give up his "man cave." Bethenny isn't comfortable asking Jason to give this up but the remodel crew seems to think it will be the best overall decision. The debate is settled while on a walk through with the entire renovation team and put it up to a vote with the closet coming out on top. Things are never calm for long in Bethenny's world, as news of her mother selling a story about her to a gossip magazine really gets her riled up. Later on Bethenny meets with Dr. Amador and breaks down admitting that hearing about her mother summons up painful memories.
"All Da Boats"
Bethenny is getting quite a lot of attention these days, but not all attention is good attention. One "scandal" after the next, Bethenny is making headlines. Bethenny realizes she never had this kind of trouble until she made her money, and maybe mo' money mo' problems is right! Life must go on so Dwayne, Bethenny's driver takes shopping with one of her interior designers for the new apartment. But, even shopping is not a good enough distraction as Bethenny can't stop thinking about everything that is going on in the press, she is not a "no comment" kind of girl. After much consideration, Bethenny decides to go on the TODAY show to clear her name in an interview with Matt Lauer. Bethenny also decides to fly to L.A. to be a guest on ELLEN and ending her week on a high.
"Who Coordinates the Chaos"
Bethenny takes a serious hit when her assistant, Julie, delivers big news. Bethenny is full of mixed emotions and it causes her to reflect on her extended family and how valuable they are to her. . .and what better way to celebrate her staff than to do a photo shoot of them all modeling the Skinnygirl Shapewear line. Despite her recent success, Bethenny has trouble letting go of her bargain hunting ways. A furniture shopping trip for her new apartment sends her into a tailspin when she realizes that every time her Upper East Side interior decorator opens her mouth, thousands of Bethenny's hard earned dollar's fall out.
"My Bad Self"
Bethenny gets busy building her brand empire and in typical Bethenny fashion has found a way to mix business with pleasure. With her staff in tow, the team heads to Jim Beam to discuss some exciting ideas that are brewing with Skinnygirl Cocktails. Things do not slow down for a moment as Bethenny learns the hard way that home renovations are no joke and begins to feel overwhelmed.
"Paradise Found"
Bethenny and Jason arrive at the one and only Pamilla resort in Los Cabos for their extended and much needed vacation. It's been a tough road up until now but with Bryn and Veronica in tow, they are hoping to relax. But paradise loses a little bit of its glimmer once Bethenny and Jason start talking about past wounds. Fortunately, the rollercoaster ride of their relationship bounces back with a good dose of humor on both their parts. Finally, it's time for Bethenny's birthday, a day that goes much better for her than in previous years.
"Paradise Lost"
A long vacation is just what the doctor ordered for Bethenny and Jason, but the ups and downs that come with it are not. On the second leg of their trip, Jason decides that he has waited long enough to break some news about their new apartment and where they may have to live before they can move in. Willing to put themselves out there again, literally, Jason and Bethenny find themselves on yet another boat ride from hell. Bethenny and Jason can't seem to escape from their own personal issues and a lengthy discussion about work, life, and love forces Jason to face his deepest fears.
"Grab Your Balloons"
Jason and Bethenny are back in NYC and very much back to the business at hand -- getting their apartment renovated and making sure they have a place to sleep. With Julie leaving, Bethenny wants Jason to come onboard, but every time she tries to push him to make a final decision, there always seems to be a reason not to. With the stress building day-by-day, Bethenny indulges in a little NYC R&R -- a night out with Jake and a yoga class with Nick that has her worried more than ever about his health.
Bethenny decides it's time to give Jason an early Christmas present, but the gift backfires when Jason decides he may not be ready for all that it holds. When Bethenny brings up her obstacles with Jason to Dr. Amador for the first time, she understands it's time to take a step back and listen. Soon after, Bethenny leaves for the launch of the Skinnygirl Cranberry Cosmo in Aspen.
Bethenny must once again face her past when she has dinner with Louis, one of her deceased father's dearest friends. Things heat up at dinner when she has to defend her truth about her childhood and make Louis understand she will not rewrite history.
"Fair Thee Well Heeled"
Christmas is in the air and the Skinnygirl gang gathers for a holiday party. Julie's departure from the team approaches, pushing Bethenny over the edge at a Glamour photo shoot. Just as Bethenny and Jason finally move into their new apartment after a hectic renovation, another big life change sends them packing once again.

There is still a long way to go for the aspiring singers competing on The Voice, but Brandon Chase already feels like hes a winner.
The Arlington resident performed well enough during his blind audition last week that two celebrity coaches, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green, turned their chairs to stake claims for their teams.
Given that Chase sees himself as a country artist through and through, he chose to become a member of Team Blake.
But even if I didnt get a chair turned, he says, I would have still come out feeling like I accomplished something great. Getting up on that stage and performing in front of the four coaches and the audience, and being shown on national television, I couldnt have gone wrong.
Next, at 7 p.m. Monday on NBC, the Battle Rounds begin. Of the 48 artists competing, eight are from Texas.
Aside from Chase, only one other is from the Dallas-Fort Worth area: Nic Hawk of Dallas. Hes on Adam Levines team.
Chase, born and raised in Arlington, says hes still dazed by everything that has happened so far.
For starters, he barely remembers actually performing on The Voice.
Nerves were just going crazy inside my stomach, he says. I started the song and the next thing I knew, the song was over. I really was kind of on autopilot.
He describes seeing himself on TV last week (in which he sang a soaring version of Hunter Hayes Wanted) as being a surreal experience.
It was pre-taped, so I had been waiting for quite a while to see it, Chase says. It was almost like experiencing it for the first time. I was so overwhelmed in that moment, I couldnt take everything in.
Second chance
For the past few years, Chase has been performing in pretty much any venue that would have him, from coffee shops to the Dallas House of Blues.
But he had never tried out for any of TVs many singing talent shows, never had any interest in doing so, in fact, until someone from The Voice invited him to a private audition in January.
The Voice is the only show I would even consider going on, he says, because I like the concept and because I like how its based around the artists and encouraging them and supporting their careers and helping unknown artists become known.
Chase has a super-positive approach to just about everything he takes on and for good reason.
Shortly after he was born, he suffered massive internal bleeding and respiratory failure. His parents were told to expect the worst. Yet Chase pulled through, eventually breathing on his own and suffering no lasting ill effects from the ordeal.
As a result, he says, every good moment he experiences now, large or small, is icing on the cake.
I feel like I was given a second chance, Chase says. Its a blessing to breathe each and every breath. I could easily not be here, but I am. I feel like God had a plan for me: Those complications in the beginning, I feel like they were put there so I can uplift peoples spirits when I share my story with them.
Chasing Idol
The more flamboyant Hawk, meanwhile, has been trying to get on a TV talent show for years.
He believes The Voice was right for him because, as the title suggests, the show is about judging an artist first and foremost by his singing. He aced the blind audition round with a rapid-fire rendition of Blu Cantrells Hit em Up Style (Oops!).
Ive tried out for American Idol five times, and they obviously hated me, Hawk says. But that show is a lot different from this. With this show, I honestly feel like it was my door, because Im the kind of person youd look at and you dont really expect the kind of voice to come out of me that does.
I came on The Voice wanting to execute the song in exactly my style and I felt like this show really gave me the opportunity to do that.
As for Chase, although he feels like a winner already, hes not going to go easy the rest of the way.
Im going to soak up everything I can from Blake, he says. Hes such a huge country star, one of the best in the business. He has so much to teach me, and I have so much to learn. Hopefully, I can take all of it and apply it to my career and be as successful, if not even more successful, than he is now.

Barring a trade, 18 teams will pick before the Kings make their first selection in the NHL Entry Draft today at Staples Center. For general manager Dean Lombardi, that's a good thing.
"It's nice to not be in the front row," he said. "Our scouts might not be able to find the table because we were always in the front row. I feel good that we've moved back a little. It's a sign of progress."
A greater sign of progress, though, will be if Lombardi trades the pick. For years the assumption was the Kings needed to rebuild their organization through the draft. Having accomplished that, it might be worth more to swing the pick for an established NHL player - such as New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk - rather than use it on someone who will not play in Los Angeles for another three or four years.
An impact player is more likely to arrive via trade than free agency.
Coveted forwards Patrick Marleau and Tomas Plekanec re-signed with the San Jose Sharks and Montreal Canadiens, respectively, this week. Beyond that, there are few high-impact forwards - the team's greatest position of need - due to become free agents July 1.
Except for Kovalchuk. Rumors linked him to the Kings throughout last season before the Atlanta Thrashers traded him to the New Jersey Devils. The Kings could try to acquire his rights from New Jersey before he hits free agency.
According to capgeek.com, the Kings will have $17.5 million of cap space with 16 players under contract next season. After having the 26th-ranked payroll in the NHL last season, "chances are we're going to push the cap," Lombardi said.
"We've gone through this pain to build from within," he added. "We're well along toward meeting that goal. Now we are in a position to add to that pieces that fit within what's being created.
"If the right players are there, we will be aggressive."
Which isn't to say this draft, the first-ever in Los Angeles, will be less important to the Kings than those in recent years.
Lombardi has enviable depth at goaltender and on defense, having concentrated the team's draft efforts on those positions during his four-year tenure. There also are some promising centers in the system, namely Andrei Loktionov, Brayden Schenn and Trevor Lewis.
The Kings most likely will keep the 19th overall pick - one of nine they own in the draft - if they can identify a high-potential winger. It's the one area Lombardi feels is most lacking in the system.
"Speed, skill, high-end potential on the wings - probably that type of player," he said. "The only type of player we have like that is (Oscar) Moller. Kyle Clifford is a wrecking crew, but if you're talking about a weakness that high-end guy isn't there."
The Kings have had one - they drafted Alexander Frolov 20th overall in 2000. Frolov becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1, and Lombardi hasn't ruled out re-signing the Moscow native who posted some of the lowest numbers of his career last season (19 goals, 32 assists in 81 games).
However, the general manager may not be able to compete with the Russia-based Kontinental Hockey League for Frolov's services.
"We want to leave our options open," Lombardi said. "The Russian thing is a viable option, considering how much money they're paying. Five million dollars here, after taxes, is $2.7 million. In Russia, $6 million is $6 million."
The draft begins at 4 p.m. and will be televised on Versus and the NHL Network. It continues with rounds 2-7 on Saturday.

Road to Appomattox

Juni 1994
BeschreibungOriginally published forty years ago, Bell Irvin Wiley's The Road to Appomattox marked one of the first efforts by a Civil War scholar to identify the internal causes of the South's defeat. Today this elegant little book remains one of the most penetrating, thought-provoking works on the subject. In the book's three chapters, Wiley treats three broad reasons for the failure of the Confederacy: weak political leadership, low morale among the populace, and four "internal influences" in the South. Those four shortcomings stemmed from traits apparently endemic to southerners in general, Wiley explains, and they included disharmony among and between political and military leaders; the government's failure to provide adequate public information systems; rigidity in outlook and course of action; and poor judgment, especially of the North's strength, the South's own strength, and Europe's dependence on cotton. Recent years have witnessed a number of significant studies dealing with Confederate defeat, particularly with the failings of Davis as war leader and with the complex issue of the South's dedication to the cause. Wiley was one of the first historians to raise these issues and discuss then trenchantly. Those familiar with The Road to Appomattox will cheer the reissue of this resonant work; first-time readers will see why.

More than ever, consumers in the US and Canada are reading online customer reviews to determine whether a local business is a good one, according to results from the latest annual BrightLocal survey examining consumer attitudes to reviews for local businesses. This year, 88% of respondents claimed to regularly (39%) or occasionally (49%) read online reviews to determine the quality of a local business, up from 85% last year and 71% in 2011. More than 7 in 10 also said that positive reviews make them trust a business more.
Meanwhile, asked if they trust online customer reviews as much as personal recommendations, respondents answered as follows:
With the most common answer being that they do trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations if there are multiple customer reviews to read, it's interesting to note that two-thirds of respondents need to read up to 6 reviews before they feel that they can trust the business.
Also of note: 92% of respondents will use a local business if it has a 4-star rating; 72% if it has a 3-star rating; but just 27% if it has a 2-star rating.
Turning to business types, the survey of 2,104 consumers (90% in the US; 10% in Canada) reveals that:
In terms of reputation, the study indicates that the most important of 7 identified traits when selecting a local business to use is reliability (27%), with expertise (21%) and professionalism (18%) next-most important.
Finally, some 61% have recommended a local business to people they know via word-of-mouth, with Facebook (38%) the next-most popular recommendation method.

Will D.C.'s Streetcar Open Before 2014? There's a "65/35" Chance
D.C. officials say they're hopeful the city's new streetcar system will be up and running by the end of the year.
"We will have the cars on the track. We have to go through the certification by (the) Federal Transit Administration and state oversight," says District Department of Transportation director Terry Bellamy. "Once they tell us we can go live, we will go live."
Asked what the odds are that the streetcars will go live before 2014, Bellamy replied "65/35."
Put another way, that's about a two-in-three chance.
The first stretch of track will be a two-mile line along H Street and Benning Road in northeast.
The city received the cars earlier this year and is now testing them.
Streetcars used to be a common sight in D.C., but they haven't operated on city streets in over 50 years. Check out this (possibly 1950's-era) video of one D.C. streetcar line from last century.

In his most suspenseful and riveting novel yet, Dean Koontz explores the effects of quantum physics on human relationships in From the Corner of His Eye. If the idea of this complex scientific bent scares you, think again. Although the underlying science and its potential implications are mind-boggling, Koontz flavors it with enough humanity to assure it goes down easily. And the end result will profoundly change the way most readers view their lives, one another, and the world in general.
Bartholomew "Barty" Lampion is born on a day marked by tragedy. Both of his parents will die, though thanks to some quick medical help, his mother, Agnes, will return to the living. Little Barty proves himself to be an amazing child almost from the first day -- a prodigy who, by the age of three, is reading at an eighth-grade level. Then tragedy strikes again when a rare type of cancer forces the removal of both of Barty's eyes, leaving him totally blind. Yet despite this setback, Barty continues to amaze everyone with his boundless love of life, his steely determination, and more than a few astonishing perceptions.
Angel White is born on the same day as Barty, and the circumstances are just as tragic. Not only was Angel conceived during a violent rape, Angel's mother, Seraphim, a 15-year-old African American and the daughter of a Baptist minister, dies during the birth. But something amazing happens first, something that will affect the lives of both the doctor delivering the child and Seraphim's older sister, Celestina, who raises Angel. This child, too, proves to be exceptional.
It will be three years before these two remarkable children meet, though their lives are mysteriously intertwined from the moment of their births. Each possesses a unique and rare ability that changes the way they, and those around them, see the world. But a vicious killer wants them both dead, and their eventual confrontation will have a mind-shattering outcome, the effect of which will eventually be felt throughout the universe.
Koontz deftly blends science with religion in this largely character-driven tale, imbuing the work with a number of spiritual and biblical overtones. In the hands of a writer less skilled, this could be a recipe for disaster. But in the highly capable hands of Koontz, it becomes a compelling tale of human nature and the ripple effect our actions and decisions have on the world around us.
