Those that know me would say that I am not one to push my religious belief onto anyone. I have a thing where I will tell people about what I believe in and if you are not interested that is the end of the conversation for me. We are all entitled to the right to believe whatever we want.I just think you should believe in something. I have gone to a Baptist church all of my life. But I am also open to other religions. I do spend a lot of time reading up on them and seeing how they work. We all need to have a little faith in something. We need to believe that it is something bigger out there than man. I will admit that I have questioned my faith but at the end of it all I still believed that it is a God out there. I have friends and even some family members that say they don't believe because God didn't answer a specific prayer. Well I don't think it works that way. Sometimes we only pray to God when we need something. You also have to do some work when you pray. Sometimes when my faith is feeling a little shaky I think about the people in my life. Some of them have endless faith in God. Nothing stops them from giving thanks.One of my aunts has cancer. Some days she feels good and other days not so much but every Sunday that she is able she goes to church. She says that I believe in my heart that I am going to be ok cause I have prayed and put it in God's hands. Some people would have gave up but she didn't. In the bible it says all you need is the faith the size of a mustard seed. When you think the actual size of a mustard seed,God is not asking a lot out of you. That means that you should not be afraid to gave him praise. You should be about to give the God you serve praise any where you are. If someone or something can not except your belief in God than that was not the situation for you. Once I was listening to Rev.Jamal Bryant and he said you should not be afraid to dance for your God.If you have to walk it out for him than you do so.If you have to whop it out for Jesus than you whop it out to the best of your ability. As long you put your best self forward to him than you are going to be ok. Now I realize that some people may not feel the way I feel but I say believe in something. I made the decision to believe in God a long time ago. I am not perfect in my faith but everyday is a learning experience for me. I know that he sees I am trying to live a life that would please him. Do you have faith?
Peace and Love!

How and when do infants distinguish between animate and inanimate entities? How does the recognition of agency relate to the recognition of animacy, or even the recognition of biological motion? These abilities form the foundation of developing social cognition--indeed, the foundation of almost everything we study in this lab! For this reason, we have many ongoing projects on this topic. Some of our recent work includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- By 4 months of age, infants seem to have certain expectations about inanimate objects. For example, they are sensitive to violations of the constraints of object physics such as cohesion (objects move as bounded wholes), solidity, and continuity (objects move on connected paths). However, we know much less about whether infants properly extend these physical principles to animate objects. If they do, it would imply an understanding of the duality of animates: objects engaging in self-initiated, often goal-directed action, yet fundamentally material objects. We explore this topic by asking whether infants reason differently about humans and inanimate objects in terms of object physics.
- The movements of animate agents offer an abundance of information to the adult human observer; we can extract information regarding species classification, gender, attractiveness, and emotion from animate motion. Intriguingly, we do so even when the motion is depicted in simple point-light displays conveying the movement of the major joints of the body in the absence of key morphological features (e.g., faces, skin, hair). Even infants as young as 2-days-old differentiate between biological and random motion point-light displays and preferentially attend to biological motion. This seemingly innate ability to recognize and preferentially attend to the motion of biological entities, even when presented in its most rudimentary form, is hypothesized to underlie developing social cognition. Little is known, however, about how (or whether) human infants interpret the actual motion within point-light displays of biological motion. As a first step, we have been examining 6-month-old infants' ability to detect the directionality of a human point-light walker. Specifically, we tested whether young infants differentiate between leftward and rightward walking of a human point-light figure, even when the figure is not actually horizontally translating (i.e., the walker appears to be on a treadmill).

To the Brink and Back
It was 2008. My usual, one-day yearly physical turned into three days. I remember thinking, "This is the best physical anyone could ever have. I hope my Mayo Clinic doctor of 15 years isn't retiring!". Shockingly, I found myself heading to surgery within 72 hours after being diagnosed with lung cancer. I was required to attend Nicotine rehab even though I never smoked and stayed active. My life insurance policy was cancelled without my consent and I was told, "You should be dead!"
Fact: 20% of lung cancer deaths are non-smokers, often due to radon exposure, secondhand smoke, air pollution or asbestos.
My lung cancer treatment was VATS robotic surgery, performed by a thoracic surgeon at Mayo Clinic. A 3cm tumor and my upper left lung lobe were removed. My follow-up care included CT scans. I didn't mind having my height and weight checked before each scan. It helped me keep within the recommended height and weight standards, and I certainly didn't mind giving blood for an ongoing Lung Cancer survivor research study.
Watch Linda's story below, as shared at TEDx BigSky 2017.
WARNING: lung surgery is not a cakewalk for the patient, loved ones or even the amazing team members who care for you — Lung cancer is tough on everyone! And if having to have my husband tell me to breathe, breathe, breathe just hours after surgery isn't enough to test your resilience physically, mentally and spiritually…Hearing the words, "Today we will begin Nicotine rehab" seemed like this nightmare would never end. I did not understand as I slowly whispered, "But, I never smoked?"
My Mayo Clinic medical care was outstanding, but I felt compelled to push my cancer wounded body, mind, and spirit harder through recovery and hospital physical therapy so I could get out of this unsettling place "pursed lip" breathing. The only compassion and acceptance I felt were from my loved ones and the doctors and nurses who KNEW I never smoked!
Fact: In the 21st century, Lung Cancer will have claimed 1 BILLION lives.
This feeling of rejection seemingly seemed all too familiar to this courageous medical team as well. It felt like 'forever' before I heard my oncology doctor and team say, "We got it all, you are cancer free!" I thought 5 years 85% survival meant…live that long and you're a survivor! I did not accept or realize there was only a 16% chance of surviving lung cancer.
My concern was how to manage my excruciating thoracic pain, streaming from deep nerve bundles that were once attached to my now missing upper left lung lobe. It was Impossible to take a deep breath. I had no idea how long I could live with such shallow breathing patterns. Previous cancer ridden choking cough seemed easier! How could I learn how to breathe again, walk, sleep, sit stand without pain? Bend over and tie my shoes, again? When I called my surgical team the only seemingly sad reply was, "I know it hurts, just give it time".
Ring, ring, ring. A "Paced Breathing Research Study" invitation call came from a Mayo Clinic oncology nurse and earth angel. She would call with weekly questions and support. I was provided an app with a soothing voice that slowly guided my total body relaxation and breathing with such guidance, understanding, compassion, acceptance, love, and forgiveness that gave me mental, spiritual and physical permission to be released from lung cancer, this brutal disease, and its scars. (Check out the new MyBreath App)
Fact: 1 in 14 people will develop lung cancer in their lifetime.
In just three weeks I could speak clearly enough to say to the oncology nurse, "This is much more than paced breathing isn't it?" Furthermore, I had someone who understood the depth of unfairness that comes with lung cancer and Never Smoker. We could talk openly, allowing the total healing to begin. I listened to the audio for two to four hours a sitting…morning, noon, evening, night, and middle of the night! I began to sleep sitting up in my bed. I could B R E A T H E, I was totally healing.
With my loving husband, tying my country ski shoes on my feet, slowly walking me to our truck, loading our x-country skis and poles and driving us to the ski trails where just three days before surgery, we had skied 17k uphill from 6300 feet to 8500 feet altitude in just a few hours. Now I would barely move 200 feet as I struggled to follow my husband while I listened to the soothing man's voice guide my every breath. I had to stop and slowly slide my body back to the truck. This venture took two hours, but every day we would return to 'try' x-country skiing again. The only rest was returned doctor's appointments. My husband believed our return flights from Montana to Minnesota were a holiday.
The "Paced Breathing Research Study" gave my mind permission to heal through the eyes of a Lung Cancer patient, while forgiving my body for allowing this to happen. This form of meditation is not for just anyone, it is directed to the spirit that has been so broken there is nowhere to go but "lives" and "transformation" from the brink of death by guiding my every breath to healing the total person.
In 2008, STRESS MANAGEMENT and RESILIENCY TRAINING (SMART) Program was being developed by Dr. Amit Sood at Mayo Clinic and my life was being transformed.
I breathe, walk, run, and live with the total transformation in my body, mind and soul with gratefulness every moment and every day to my new life.
Team W
Wortman Lung Cancer Foundation 501 (c) (3) Board Members
+ Linda Wortman — Founder, Chairman, & President
Linda has always been an example of her favorite saying: "If you can imagine it you can achieve it; If you can dream it you can become it."
Now Linda, a Never Smoker, has survived lung cancer and with just half a lung has run a 5K race in all 50 states since 2012. To prove you can have 'Quality Of Life' after proper diagnosis and treatment of cancer, her new goal is to run a 10K race in every Continent and the 5 Canadian Provinces while creating awareness about Lung Cancer the #1 Cancer Killer that silently killed more that 220,000 victims in 2013, including 40% Never and Non Smokers in 2013… shockingly, those numbers are growing everyday striking Never smokers 20 years of age.
Together, Jerry and Linda hope to promote Lung Cancer Awareness with a National Healthy Lungs Research Project to raise awareness of Lung Cancer which is the leading cause of deaths in men and women; accounting for more deaths than that of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. Running Lungs Races is becoming a means to educate communities and remove the stigma that lung cancer is a smokers disease, provide a fun and rewarding platform for raising funds to support lung cancer and pulmonary research. All proceeds are donated to lung cancer research and specific researchers. In 2014 Linda and her husband, Jerry Co-Founded the Wortman Lung Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non profit to raise desperately needed research funds for Lung Cancer Research and specific researchers who have discovered life saving targeted therapies.
Prior to her 35 year Airline Career as a Flight Attendant, Purser, Government Affairs Chair; Safety, Health and Security Team Leader; and In Flight Instructor; Linda attended the University of Minnesota while working in the fashion industry. Linda has enjoyed being involved in community work, having worked in all aspects of the school system while living in Minnesota including Public Speakers Bureau, Girl Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Boys & Girls Club of America, Ronald McDonald House, Easter Seals Society Spokes Person and Mrs Minnesota USA. She also enjoyed being a Patient Advocate on Capitol Hill in Washing DC for American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute.
Linda knows the value of family and has always treasured her husband Jerry, and their children and grand children. Together they always enjoy quality time with family, outdoor activities in the Rocky Mountains, racing vintage vehicles and traveling. Linda plans on returning to the world as a Motivational Speaker to inspire lung cancer patients, survivors and their families by giving them permission to speak openly about lung cancer with hope, determination, commitment too unite and save lives and promoting lung cancer research and funding for researchers. Lung cancer can affect anybody, at any age, anywhere in the world, smoker or non-smoker.
+ Jerry Wortman — Founder & Treasurer
Jerry received his Bachelor of Science Degree from Drake University in Business Administration. Captain Wortman served in the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command where he flew on the Boeing B-52's. Captain Wortman began his commercial flying career in 1967 as a Northwest Airline pilot and instructor on Boeing 727's, 707's & 747's; Mc Donald-Douglas DC-10 aircraft. After his formal retirement from aviation in 1999 he worked as a Test Pilot flying Boeing 747's and McDonald Douglas DC-10's until 2007.
Jerry has always loved going fast! In 2007 he developed a passion of building Vintage Flathead race engines during the winter for his 35 Ford and participating in Vintage Car Drag Racing events across the USA during summers. He recently built a Flathead engine for his 35 Ford and aspires to set a 150 mph race record on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats.
Wortman Lung Cancer Foundation has given Jerry another race goal. As a Lung Cancer Survivor Advocate, Jerry quickly learned the importance of early lung cancer diagnosis after his wife Linda, a Never Smoker and the picture of health, was shockingly diagnosed with Lung Cancer on 1-11-2008. Jerry is grateful to Mayo Clinic Doctors and dedicated medical teams, who listened, diagnosed, and completed Linda's upper left lobe/3cm tumor surgery, within 72 hours of her diagnosis, that saved her life along with Mayo Clinic's "Paced Breathing Research" and follow up Transform Programs.
On Mother's Day 2014, Coach Jerry and Linda completed a two year goal of running a 5K race in every state, proving that survival rates of lung cancer and Quality Of Life can be dramatically affected, if lung cancer is caught at the early stage. Unfortunately, few people realize that Lung Cancer kills more men and women than 7 cancers combined every year. More shockingly, 60% of those diagnosed are Never smokers-like the Wortman family; or are past smokers.
Jerry is a Lung Cancer Patient Advocate because he very well understands the issues that diagnosis imposes on lives. By working on the Wortman Lung Cancer Foundation as a Board Member, we hope to raise funding for Mayo Clinic Lung Cancer Research and Programs that will address the issues of Quality Of Life for Lung Cancer Survivors and also give back to the dedicated medical teams, that care for critically ill patients through educational offered by Mayo Clinic through programs like Transform and SMART.
I want to see more lives saved, so they too can experience the same quality of life, my wife Linda, our family and I have experienced because of early lung cancer diagnosis. By sponsoring 2K, 5K, 10K and Virtual "Running Lungs" Races through the Wortman Lung Cancer Foundation we feel we can reach our goal 'Race+Research=Results' by donating 100% of proceeds to Mayo Clinic.
+ Julie Yost — Vice President

She is very excited to be able to give back to patients and raise awareness of lung cancer while doing something she loves. Stephanie is honored to be involved in the Wortman Lung Cancer Foundation and looks forward to helping raise awareness about lung cancer.
+ Francesca Ripple — Co-Secretary
Office of Patient Experience, Mayo Clinic Francesca Ripple is a Patient Experience Coordinator in the Mayo Clinic Office of Patient Experience. Prior to this, she was the Communication Manager for the Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation (CFI) and helped manage the Transform Symposium — Mayo Clinic's annual conference focused on the experience and delivery of health and health care. She began her career at Mayo Clinic as a Designer in 1999, and has held various roles in design, marketing and communications throughout her 15 years at Mayo Clinic. She began in Public Affairs in 2007 and supported the Center for Innovation since 2009.
While the communicator for the Center for Innovation she has helped create a new kind of conference — a community of passionate people focused on health care delivery transformations. This conference is supported with an online digital community over 1,000 members strong, and with over 30% of attendees remaining connected and returning to the conference year after year. In 2010 Francesca was also a core-team member for a project idea that would enhance patient connectivity and the experience of navigating the Rochester campus and community. That project eventually became the Mayo Clinic Patient App, and has now been downloaded over 150,000 times connecting patients to Mayo Clinic's expertise every day.
Passionate about "experiences" her entire life — she began creating them as a visual and sculptural artist as a student and artist in her 20's — this passion towards experiences has continued to be woven throughout her personal and professional life.
Patient experience in particular has become a personal interest because of her work at the Center for Innovation — where the discovery of the many unmet gaps in a patient's journey made her more aware of patient experience and the current health care landscape — combined with her personal journey caring for her aging parents from a distance and developing a new understanding and empathy for caregivers and the support of health for the aging.
Francesca earned her BFA from The Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington, D.C. and her Masters in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix, AZ. In April 2013 she became a certified Experience Economist through Strategic Horizons, a program created by James Gilmore and Joe Pine, authors of the Experience Economy and Authenticity.
+ Stephen Cassivi, M.D. — Board Advisor
Stephen D. Cassivi, M.D., is a thoracic surgeon (chest surgeon) with both clinical and research activities. His clinical interests and experience span the breadth of thoracic surgery with a specific expertise in minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
+ Ping Yang, M.D., Ph.D — Board Advisor
The research of Dr. Yang encompasses causes, risk factors, natural history, clinical course, treatment outcomes and quality of life. Her team's research goals are to reduce cancer occurrence, diagnose cancer at a treatable stage, and design the best treatment plan for optimal quantity and quality of life.
She initiated and has been leading the Epidemiology and Genetics of Lung Cancer Research Program at Mayo Clinic, which is designed to identify genomic, environmental and other host factors (such as chronic lung diseases) that are involved in disease risk and development, progression, and prognosis, as well as health-related quality of life.
Significance to patient care: Dr. Yang's team is now putting a greater emphasis on outcomes research, particularly patient-reported outcomes. The objective is to bridge the gap in the transition from a patient to a survivor by understanding deficits, defining needs and developing care models in lung cancer patients who completed cancer treatments. The ultimate result is to accelerate the recovery process from a patient to a survivor — and from a survivor to a healthy member of society.
Related to population health: Dr. Yang's research utilizes the framework of the Rochester Epidemiology Project continues to monitor trends in lung cancer morbidity and mortality in defined populations, provide new leads as to causes, estimate the attributable risks with known causes, identify at-risk subpopulations, and evaluate the effectiveness of screening and early detection efforts.
+ Dev Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D. — Board Advisor
Debabrata (Dev) Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D., has a broad background in tumor microenvironment with training and expertise in angiogenesis, cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Dr. Mukhopadhyay and his team are using pancreatic and renal cancer disease models to examine how tumors develop and particularly how they induce the angiogenic response that is essential for their survival.
Vascular permeability factor (VPF), also known as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been implicated in the new vessel development found in most tumors. Although the mechanism of these complex processes remains unclear, Dr. Mukhopadhyay and his team are investigating the importance of VPF-VEGF as well as its signaling pathways to elucidate the mechanisms by which VPF-VEGF function in a variety of tumor models.
Moreover, Dr. Mukhopadhyay and his team are stuying the role of other angiogenic-related factors in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, such as vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC), vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGFD) and phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class F protein (PIGF).
Additional research interests include stellate cell biology, new drug delivery systems and nanotechnology, and incorporating the use gold nanoparticles and other bioconjugates as messengers to deliver reagents capable of manipulating the angiogenic response in vivo.

+ Chris Draft TeamDraft.org — Board Member
Chris Draft is the Founder, President, and CEO of the Chris Draft Family Foundation (CDFF), a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering families to live healthy lifestyles. He is a nationally recognized community leader and health advocate who serves as an NFL Ambassador, National Ambassador for the Parent Teacher Association, and a national spokesperson on many health-related issues, including the care and treatment of asthma, from which he suffers, and lung cancer, the disease that claimed the life of his wife, Keasha.
In 1998, Draft graduated from Stanford University where he earned a degree in economics while becoming a four-year letter winner in football and a two-year member of the Cardinal baseball team. After college, He went on to a twelve-year career in the NFL, playing linebacker for the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, and Washington Redskins.
In 2006, Draft established the CDFF, which focuses on several primary initiatives with overarching themes that stress the importance of education, healthy lifestyles, character development, personal responsibility, self-discipline, and physical fitness. The CDFF's newest initiative, Team Draft was created by Chris and Keasha during Keasha's year-long struggle with Stage IV Lung Cancer.
As a former Charlotte Hornets Honeybee dancer and member of Clemson University's Rally Cat dance squad, Keasha was an energetic vibrant young woman who had never smoked when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer in December 2010. At the time, her only "symptom" was a slight shortness of breath a few days earlier. Despite the diagnosis and knowing the long odds they faced, Keasha and Chris decided to fight back. On November 27, 2011, standing side-by-side, they launched Team Draft at their wedding. One month later, Keasha lost her courageous fight and died at the age of 38.
Team Draft is dedicated to raising lung cancer awareness and increasing badly needed research funding by shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a "smoker's disease." The fact is anybody can get lung cancer. Yet, despite the fact that between 20,000 and 30,000 people who have never smoked—including Keasha—are diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States each year, the smoking stigma negatively impacts lung cancer research funding, which pales in comparison to funding for other major cancers and diseases. Team Draft is out to change all that by using the unique platform available to Draft as a former NFL player and nationally recognized community leader and health advocate to lead a national campaign to change the face of lung cancer—a campaign that has, to date, taken Team Draft to more than 50 of the top cancer treatment and research centers in North America.
This year, Team Draft partnered with lung-cancer survivor Jackie Archer to help the State of Georgia become the first state in the nation to issue a lung cancer-specific license plate. Draft was part of the ceremonies with Georgia Governor Nathan Deal when he signed HB 732 into law, authorizing the plates and has personally installed the first several plates. In September, Draft participated as a runner and a keynote speaker in the Team LIVESTRONG Challenge Series in Philadelphia, and was recently named a LIVESTRONG Global Envoy in recognition of Team Draft's work.
A leader both on and off the field, Draft has received a number of awards and honors for his tireless work in the community. He was recently honored by SCLC/W.O.M.E.N. Inc. at its 33rd Annual Drum Major For Justice Awards in recognition of the Foundation's health awareness efforts. Additionally, Draft was selected as the Man Of The Year by both the St. Louis Rams and the Carolina Panthers, and received the NFL Alumni Spirit, Ed Block Courage, and Rankin Smith Awards. He was also a two-time finalist for the prestigious Byron "Whizzer" White Award. In addition to his numerous accolades, Draft is also a published author. His 2010 children's book, Do You Want to Play Catch?, stresses the importance of family and physical activity.

ClampTite Wire
American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a standardized wire gauge system used since 1857 predominantly in the United States and Canada for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.
Increasing gauge numbers give decreasing wire diameters, which is similar to many other non-metric gauging systems. This gauge system originated in the number of drawing operations used to produce a given gauge of wire. Very fine wire (for example, 30 gauge) required more passes through the drawing dies than did 0 gauge wire.
How can the various ClampTite wire sizes be used?
|.032 wire
|for small hoses (clamps) smaller than 1/2" dia., for very small attachments (mechanical), and small projects.
|.041 wire
|for hoses (clamps) smaller than 1 1/2" dia.; for small attachments (mechanical); for non-structual projects.
|.051 wire
|for hoses (clamps) larger than 1 1/2" dia.; for wire wound or stiff hoses; for structual attachments (mechanical).
|.062 wire
|for hoses (clamps) for very large hoses (clamps) like 3-6" dia.; pvc or large irrigation pipe; larger structual projects (mechanical) like posts/uprights for load bearing.
|.090 wire
|for large structual projects/repairs (mechanical) and load bearing projects.
|General use
|the ClampTite tool is designed to work with any solid core wire, not stranded or loose wire.
What are some wire type advantages?
|Stainless Steel Grade 304 Wire
|very corrosion resistant, has good strength, is annealed for ease of use, and is available in all our standard sizes as well as in a 1 lb can. It is the same stainless steel grade on most boat rails and external fittings
|Stainless Steel Grade 316L Wire
|very corrosion resistant (more so than 304), has slightly less strength, is annealed but is more stiff and slightly more difficult to use then the 304. It is available from us in sizes .041" dia. small rolls and large rolls.
|400 Series Wire (Monel Equivalent)
|extremely corrosion resistant (for under water or similar uses), has much less strength, is flexible and easy to use, is dull grey in color. It is available from us in sizes .041"dia and small rolls.

I had an aft cabin on the mariner and I loved it. I did have 3 of us in the cabin. I would love to book the same cabin for next year but there would only be 2 of us. do they allow you to book a specific cabin for only 2 people when it holds 3? Any input will be appreciated.

Last week, our signature education program Mozart Masters completed for the 2015-2016 school year. It was an amazing two weeks here at the pavilion for the rehearsals and concerts – but even more so, an amazing five months of mentorship and learning for the students (and the Strings staff, too! We can always learn new things). Here's what happened:
3 amazing music teachers in the Yampa Valley Schools: Jim Knapp, Mary Ann Fairlie, John Bolton
8 pizzas for hungry music students from Moffat County High School
8 songs performed by students with their mentors
7 songs were learned without sheet music!
10 professional musician mentors: Trout Steak Revival: Bevin Foley, Steve Foltz, Casey Houlihan, Will Koster, Travis McNamara;The Railsplitters: Christine King, Dusty Rider, Peter Sharpe, Lauren Stovall, Leslie Ziegler
19 workshops and rehearsals run by mentor musicians
25 videos sent by musicians to classrooms over five months
233 student musicians performed on the Strings stage
282 student musicians participated in workshops
400 students attended a field trip to watch their peers at the pavilion
741 Community Members watched the free concerts with student performances and countless school administrators supported this program!
It was an incredible five months of intense mentorship, learning bluegrass techniques and styles, and professional artistry in the classroom. Thank you, Trout Steak Revival and The Railsplitters, and a huge thank you to our supporters in the community! Stay tuned for next year.
By Katie Carroll
director of artistic administration and education
Can you remember the first time you fell in love with music? For me, it was the song "The Loco-Motion" when I was five years old. I just thought swinging my hips to music was an amazing discovery! Then I started piano lessons, and realized I could make my younger brother and sister dance around while I played. My musical taste has since evolved, and I'm lucky enough now to work at Strings Music Festival and plan our in-school music education programs (sorry, Grand Funk Railroad is not on the list).
Strings' began working in the schools in earnest in 2007 by creating Strings School Days. After 8 years of working with over a dozen schools in three counties and more than 24,000 students …. we decided to go even bigger. After talking to teachers, parents, and school administrators, Strings School Days has expanded into the following three distinct, focused, music education programs.
Mozart Masters: Strings hires professional musicians to work with middle and high school students in Steamboat and Craig. This revamped program doubles the time students spend with professionals from previous years. Musicians mentor students in 6 workshops, correspond over social media, and ultimately play in a concert together at the pavilion during the course of one school year. This year, Trout Steak Revival and The Railsplitters will be mentoring our teen musicians. Mark your calendars for 3/17 and 3/23 to see these bluegrass bands perform with Routt and Moffat county students in the pavilion.
Tchaikovskys in Training: This brand-new concert series is for our youngest elementary school students before they choose an instrument. Students in grades K-5 will be invited to the pavilion at least once during the school year to see a 45-minute performance. Before they come, teachers and parents can help them prepare with "Musical Notes," Strings' debut educational pre-show concert guide.
Piazzolla Pioneers: If a school can't come to the pavilion, we will come to the school. Moving forward, Strings will plan to visit schools in south and north Routt regularly throughout the school year. A couple of weeks ago, we brought Todo Mundo to Hayden and SOROCO for our first official Piazzolla concerts, and those guys blew the roof off of those places. There's nothing like seeing kindergarten students get so excited by reggae that they start a dance party!
The entire Strings teams feels that it's imperative we invest in music education in the schools, and as a non-profit, that means we must do it efficiently. Our Production Director works to book bands for evening concerts that also have vested interests in participating in Strings music education programs. Our Development Director finds grants and generous individual donors who believe in music education, and then we can afford to compensate those artists to stay longer and work with our students. I hope these opportunities encourage students to approach music the same way we all love our winter sports – with passion! It doesn't matter if someone's Olympic-bound or a regular Trailbuster on the weekends, as long as she's happy. Not everyone will be the next Miles Davis or Bruce Springsteen, but we can still all love to sing along (especially to the Loco-Motion).

Steamboat Springs may be best known as Ski Town USA, but there's more for youth to do than just Winter Sports Club. Music programs are gaining momentum in the schools and recently there have been more opportunities for students to get involved.
Music Opportunities in Northwest Colorado
On Monday, the Steamboat Springs High School choir performed at the Northwestern Vocal Large Group Festival at Moffat County High School. A total of seven high school choirs participated in the event from three counties in Northwest Colorado. The competition had two components: a performance of three prepared pieces and a sight reading portion, where the group had only five minutes to learn a new piece, without the help of the director. The choirs were judged on a five-point scale, with 1 being "superior" and 5 being "unprepared." Steamboat rose to the top of the competition with an overall score of 2 being "excellent." They also received a rating of 1 for the sight reading portion.
Next month, the wind and string players of Steamboat Springs and surrounding towns will have a chance to perform during the Strings School Days program. Professional violinist, composer and educator Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) will return for the final week of the program to perform with the groups during field trips for the schools and evening concerts for the community. There will be more than 10 workshops, field trips and concerts, and all of them are free and open to the public. If you're interested in attending any of these performances, you can view the entire schedule here.
Benefits for Children in Music Programs
Children who play music benefit intellectually, socially and emotionally, according to the National Association of Music Merchants. Studies show that students who take music lessons have higher intelligence quotients and Critical Links: Learning in the Arts and Student Academic and Social Development finds that arts participation motivates students to stay in school. Playing music also assists students with forming bonds with peers and adults. In a study called Adolescents' Expressed Meanings of Music In and Out of School students "described their music teachers as encouraging, motivating and acting as both role models and friends that can be trusted for listening and giving advice." Students also connect better with schools that include music and show greater camaraderie, fewer fights and less racism, according to Arts With the Brain In Mind, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
Music can be even more beneficial for students at rural schools, such as those in Northwest Colorado. Third Space: Why Learning Matters found that "arts programs helped schools in economically disadvantaged communities develop students' critical-thinking and problem solving skills." Children stand to gain many benefits from participating in music programs. More opportunities for our students to get involved in music both in and outside of school, mean that they have a better chance of taking away some of these important skills.
This week Daniel Bernard Roumain visited eight different music classes in Steamboat Springs and Craig. Each class played a little bit of a piece they've been working on for him. The Steamboat Springs High School Jazz Band played "Cissy Strut" by The Meters. In the middle of this jazz standard, there is a jam session where a few different instruments get to take improv solos. Daniel grooved with the band on his violin, mixing his unique style with the jazz genre. One stringed instrument soloing with brass and horns in the background was a combination I had never heard before, online casino but Daniel made his violin sound almost like a guitar. In honor of the High School Jazz Band and the Strings School Days program, I chose Cissy Strut for the song of the week.
"Education is not a passive act, it's an aggressive act." –Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)
The last time Daniel was here, he encouraged everyone in the community to take an active role in learning, regardless of what age you may be. He interacted with 13 schools from three counties and over 2,000 teachers, parents, students and community members. We couldn't wait for him to return and now the waiting is over.
Daniel is back this week to make music with a more intimate group. Over the next three days, he will visit the Steamboat Springs High School Jazz and Concert Bands, the Steamboat Springs Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Bands, the Emerald Mountain School Lower and Middle School Orchestras and the Heritage Christian School Combined Choirs. Each of these groups has chosen to play one of Daniel's pieces from a work called Hip Hop Studies and Etudes.
Hip Hop Studies and Etudes
All of the famous composers, Bach, Chopin, Schumann, Mozart, wrote studies and etudes. In music, there are 24 different keys. The composer writes 24 etudes, one in each major and minor key, as a learning tool for the students. Completing the entire set gives the student experience with each key, so when they encounter it in a new piece, they are already familiar with it. Most music students, including myself, learn quickly that etudes are a lot of work, difficult to play correctly and most of the time, not very fun.
As a composer, Daniel set out to write a brand new series of etudes in a completely different genre – hip hop. Just like the famous composers, there are 24 pieces in his Hip Hop Studies and Etudes. If you've ever heard a classical etude, these hip hop etudes follow the same pattern. First a theme is introduced, then elaborated on, then varied and finally reintroduced. Although challenging and still requiring dedication and practice to perform, Daniel's music certainly doesn't sound like those of the famous classical composers.
In May, each music group will perform one piece from Hip Hop Studies and Etudes at a free community concert at the Strings Music Pavilion. But for the moment, Daniel is crafting the young musicians. In the workshops this week he is creating a space where music can be played loudly, alone, in small groups, together but not with each other, all to lead to a confident performance. If you would like to attend any of these workshops, please contact email@example.com.

|Strings School Days Field Trip 2011
This week, the youth music education outreach program Strings School Days returns to Northwest Colorado. Leading this two-year cycle is violinist, educator, and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR). During his time here, he will meet students from 11 schools at classroom visits and field trips.
Roumain will also work closely with music students, leading interactive sessions where students will experience music and instruments in new ways. Some of his musical experiments include manipulating tempos, walking while playing, and decomposing scores. Above all, Roumain strives to show students that they can be composers simply by making a few small changes. He empowers the students to take control of their music.
All Strings School Days events are free and open to the public. Check out the schedule below for details on when you can see DBR.

My favorite memory of Strings is…
|Alpin Hong – 2009
"Alpin Hong's infectious love of music and Steamboat and Strings and his gracious manners as he visited with us."
"Alpin Hong is a bright ray of sunshine wherever he appears!"
"Coming here when I was very young and being chosen to play on the stage with Alpin Hong. I love Steamboat."
Alpin Hong was the Strings School Days featured musician in 2008 and 2009. Strings School Days returns next week May 7-11, 2012.

"From rock clubs to symphony halls, the composer, musician, and performer Daniel Bernard Roumain seems unstoppable." -New York Sun
|Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)
Before Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) was a nationally known violinist performing with Lady Gaga and Philip Glass, he started out as most of us do. Just trying to figure out who we are. While many musicians conform to set genre lines and follow the rules for their specific instrument, Roumain did the opposite. "What I set out to do was make the violin more reflective of who I am, and what I'm into," Roumain told NPR.
Thurs, 5/10 – 1:00-1:45pm: Strawberry Park and Soda Creek Elementary Schools
Fri, 5/11 – 10:00-10:45am: Steamboat Springs Middle and High Schools
|Simon Boyar and Jim Knapp during Rehearsal
During the first week of May, Strings Music Festival brought marimba player Simon Boyar to Steamboat Springs to perform with eight local school groups. Over the course of the week, Simon rehearsed with each group at the schools and at the Strings Pavilion, where students took field trips to watch their peers perform. The program concluded with two nights of performances, just about filling the house with friends, family members, teachers and other supporters of young musicians.

I was invited to perform at the Dark Mofo Winter Feast (Hobart) in 2016 & 2017. This was an incredible opportunity over 6 nights to explore challenging and exciting repertoire quite different from my usual performances. The harp was amplified on both occasions and I loved the chance to share my music with such a large audience.

There are currently more than 5,000 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, including 22 women, 230 children and 11 democratically elected members of Parliament and 200 Palestinians detained under "Administrative Detention" policy. They are subjected to physical and mental torture, solitary confinement, medical testing, and many serious abuses. They are deliberately denied medical treatment for chronic illnesses, family visits, and access to legal support.
Thousands of Palestinian political prisoners and detainees were subjected to "Administrative Detention" policy, where prisoners detained without charge or trial in flagrant violation to international laws and conventions that state prisoners should have a fair trial.
Israeli occupation forces regularly use the administrative detention as punitive policy, although international law restricts the use of administrative detention. Administrative detention policy breaches the Israeli law itself as it violates the conditions set to renew Palestinian administrative detainees' arrest.
These conditions pushed more than 200 prisoners on 24th April 2014 to start an open-ended hunger strike to end administrative detention policy.
We, the undersigned, call on the European Parliament and United Nations Human rights Council to pressure Israel to comply with international and humanitarian law and stop the use of "Administrative Detention" policy, such policy clearly breaches the international and humanitarian law, ethical principle and human values.
We condemn the cruel and in humane treatment including psychological and physical punishment and humiliation, and deprivation of healthcare. This is in contravention of international law and must stop immediately.

Homeland security chief Janet Napolitano leaving for academia
Janet Napolitano, who has served as US President Barack Obama's secretary of homeland security since the beginning of the administration, is stepping down to become president of the University of California system.
Napolitano, a former governor of Arizona, has overseen the administration's handling of homegrown terrorism, natural disasters and immigration, one of the most expansive portfolios of anyone in the cabinet.
She had her eye on becoming the next attorney general, but, with this move, is taking herself out of the Washington political arena.
"The opportunity to work with the dedicated men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who serve on the front lines of our nation's efforts to protect our communities and families from harm, has been the highlight of my professional career," Napolitano said. "We have worked together to minimise threats of all kinds to the American public."
Napolitano, 55, expressed particular satisfaction in improving safety of travellers, adjusting the immigration system to make it "more fair and focused" while still protecting the borders, working with states to improve disaster response and partnering with private companies to bolster cybersecurity. She plans to stay until September.
Obama praised "her outstanding work" and her friendship.
"Janet's portfolio has included some of the toughest challenges facing our country," he said. "She's worked around the clock to respond to natural disasters, from the Joplin tornado to Hurricane Sandy, helping Americans recover and rebuild."
She helped "make our immigration system fairer," he added, and "the American people are safer and more secure thanks to Janet's leadership."
She does not have an extensive background in education, but the California university system saw her extensive management experience running a state and one of the largest federal government bureaucracies as assets.
Her departure creates an opening that could be hard for Obama to fill.
The secretary of homeland security presides over a sprawling department with nearly two dozen agencies as varied as the Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration, Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency.

int settimeofday(tp, tzp) struct timeval *tzp; struct timezone *tzp;
The system's notion of the current Greenwich time is obtained with the gettimeofday() call, and set with the settimeofday() call. The current time is expressed in elapsed seconds and microseconds since 00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970 (zero hour). The resolution of the system clock is hardware dependent; the time may be updated continuously, or in clock ticks.
long tv_sec; /* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */ long tv_usec; /* and microseconds */
tp points to a timeval structure, which includes the following members:
If tp is a NULL pointer, the current time information is not returned or set.
tzp is an obsolete pointer formerly used to get and set timezone information. tzp is now ignored. Timezone information is now handled using the TZ environment variable; see TIMEZONE(4).
Only the privileged user may set the time of day.
A -1 return value indicates an error occurred; in this case an error code is stored in the global variable errno.
The following error codes may be set in errno:
cc(1B), adjtime(2), ctime(3C), gettimeofday(3C), TIMEZONE(4)
Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications written on BSD platforms. Use of these interfaces with any of the system libraries or in multi-thread applications is unsupported.
tzp is ignored in SunOS 5.X releases.
tv_usec is always 0.

Toyota executive Julie Hamp was arrested in Japan for smuggling oxycodone this week. How can this be, you may ask? An upstanding American arrested for smuggling drugs into another country? Well, Japan is super hardcore when it comes to controlled substances. They don't just dole out high octane pharmaceuticals for restless legs like we do here in Freedomland.
And American patriots understand that if you need to mail some pills that you're prescribed, that's not smuggling. It's not like it's meth or whatever poor people use now days. But try telling that to the Japanese who for some reason think that Adderall and Oxycodone should be regulated like heroin and cocaine. Silly Japanese.
So maybe it was an innocent mistake. Maybe. But we know that Mrs. Hamp, an American exec of a Japanese company, should know how strict the Japanese are having worked there for many years. Suspicious, yes. Proof of something nefarious? No. Then we read this story. That Toyota-owned Lexus has invented a hoverboard. Now things are starting to get interesting.
And what's this? The US government is working on a hoverbike? Let's just put all these facts side by side. An executive of a company that makes hoverboards is busted smuggling Oxy into Japan through the mail at the same time America is also planning to use hover technology? It couldn't be clearer. In 2016, the US military will start smuggling Adderall into Japan on hoverboards. You read it here first folks.

Andrew Johnson : Managing Director
Recognising the need for a superior level of strategic guidance and governance, he brought on two independent and highly experienced directors who are helping him fulfil his commitment to becoming the leading IT support company in the Waikato.
Andrew's business background has included two appointments as acting CEO. The first appointment involved a five-year divestment programme covering multiple businesses, including overseeing operations of 6500ha of land for a USA-based family. The second appointment consisted of a merger and integration role for several newly acquired businesses owned by a US multi-national, where he still maintains an on-going advisory role.
Andrew regularly consults on IT strategy and requirements at board level for some of Waikato's best known businesses.
In 2008, 2010 and 2011, Andrew attended courses at the Harvard Business School. Andrew is married to Sarah Morton-Johnson, and they have two young children, Isobel (b. March 2008) and Alexander (b. December 2009).
Between November 2009 and August 2010 Andrew was appointed to the board of Greenlea Group Limited as an Alternate Director giving him further insight into strategy development and governance. Andrew was provisionally accredited to the Institute of Directors of New Zealand in July 2010. He is on the advisory board for The Westervelt Company, a trustee of St Paul's Collegiate School and on the local branch committee of the Institute of Directors. Andrew is on the board of Lightwire Limited, Great Oaks Holding Company Limited, Great Oaks Forest Limited and Asset Management Partners Limited.
Andrew recently graduated with a Bachelor of Electronic Commerce from the University of Waikato.

Neighbours stars Sachin Joab and Menik Gooneratne have revealed the extent of their characters' upcoming problems.
Ajay and Priya Kapoor's relationship starts to unravel as Ramsay Street's newest residents argue over buying a new house.
Their issues begin when Ajay buys number 24 without consulting Priya.
Gooneratne, who plays Priya, told the Channel 5 website: "Priya is the one that keeps it together, and when Ajay makes decisions without her involvement, she doesn't like it. I think it's been brewing for a while.
"They are both high achievers for all the right reasons, but they have unintentionally put their careers first."
Meanwhile, Joab commented: "They work too hard! I think they are so busy with life and Ajay wants to do everything for his family's future that they're actually forgetting about living in the moment.
"Everything Ajay does is for his family, but he is forgetting about what's important and that is being with them."

Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed that its third model line, commonly referred to as an "every-day" model, will soon be introduced.
The four-door Estoque concept that was displayed at the 2008 Paris Auto Show had been deemed too difficult to build but now, Lamborghini is working on getting it ready quickly for the assembly line.
The decision to approve production for this model came after the carmaker, together with Audi and Volkswagen, realized that a small lineup of two-seat hypercars won't take Sant'Agata far. It also wouldn't be of much help to the VW Group's plan to deliver 15 million units annually by 2018.
This model would be very new and will be made more usable than thought necessary. But if the plan to produce the Estoque won't proceed, that could only be because Lamborghini is working on a taller, super-SUV for the lineup. This model is expected to have even more stunning looks than the previous desert-traveling LM metal models.
Sources from Bologna said that Lamborghini will be heavily examining and testing both body configurations this summer. It's expected that the carmaker will make the final decision by October on which would be the third Lambo, which is slated to start selling as a 2015 model.
But what insiders are consistent in stating is that the third one will be markedly different than one that came before.
Sources also say that the carmaker plans to unveil this model at an auto show in 2013, which is when it will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ferruccio Lamborghini's anti-Ferrari scheme.

Jeep chose a strange venue to launch its updated Compass soft-roader last weekend. Portsea Polo, a posh event at the tip of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, draws a rich mix of celebrities, the well-heeled and the odd polo enthusiast.
Polo is usually Range Rover Vogue territory, while Jeeps are usually pitched at the middle classes. And this new Compass is even cheaper than the vehicle that came before it.
Now priced from $26,500 (plus on-road and dealer costs), the Compass range is almost $3500 cheaper than its bug-eyed predecessor, which was axed from the Australian line-up in 2010.
The lower entry price comes with the arrival of a less powerful two-wheel-drive model, which was not available for test at the vehicle's launch. It is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 115kW of power and 190Nm of torque and is available with either a five-speed manual gearbox or continuously variable transmission.
We sampled the Limited flagship (from $34,000), which is exclusively powered by a 2.4-litre unit that also powers the Patriot, the Compass's mechanical twin, and the old Compass. Adding just 10kW and 30Nm, it delivers marginally better on-paper performance and is solely mated with a CVT.
Jeep has yet to announce whether it will reintroduce turbo-diesel power to the line-up.
The Compass's new face looks like a shrunken, "mini-me" version of the company's Grand Cherokee flagship, although the rest of the exterior appears mostly unchanged from its predecessor.
Jeep says it is addressing its reputation for harsh, plasticky cabins with an updated interior that features higher-quality materials. But with minimal soft-touch surfaces, it still doesn't hold a candle to the bank-vault solidity of Volkswagen's Tiguan or even its Korean-built rivals such as Hyundai's ix35 or Kia's Sportage.
The Compass's driving position mightn't suit all body types. The height-adjustable driver's seat perches too high at its lowest position, while it misses out on steering-wheel reach adjustment and a footrest for added comfort during day trips. It also lacks on automatic headlights and wipers.
The biggest omission, however, is that buyers still need to spend up to $800 for potentially life-saving front-side airbags that come standard on many rivals including the popular Subaru Forester. The option pack costs $550 for the Limited and $800 for the entry-level Sport variant, which also includes heated front seats and a tyre-pressure monitoring system.
Standard safety equipment otherwise includes dual front and curtain airbags, and stability control with an anti-roll system.
On the road, the Limited model's 2.4-litre engine provides adequate performance but the CVT forces it to rev in the noisy zone during overtaking manoeuvres, penetrating the cabin and adding to the cacophony of tyre and wind noise. It also begs the question as to how the smaller engine fares.
Fuel economy was average during our drive around Mornington Peninsula's winding roads and a clear freeway run back to Melbourne. Our vehicle used 10.5 litres per 100 kilometres versus an official 8.6L/100km combined cycle.
The steep tourist road's corrugated switchbacks quickly highlight the Compass's ride and handling flaws, and our test car also revealed a rattly steering column over corrugations and some sharp kickback through the steering wheel over mid-corner bumps - neither of which inspires confidence. The driver is otherwise left yearning for feel and feedback through the slippery, leather-trimmed wheel.
The ride also feels jittery over winding, unsealed dirt tracks. The Compass quickly loses grip through flowing, steeply cambered corners and busily slides about in two-wheel-drive mode, forcing the dash's orange stability control warning light to flicker.
Things improve, though, when 4WD is called into action by the small lever beside the handbrake, but it's still nowhere near as surefooted as its rivals.
Design wise, Jeep has successfully created a mini Grand Cherokee in the Compass and taken some of the flagship model's improvements to interior quality.
But given that the Grand Cherokee was awarded Best 4WD at last year's Drive Car of the Year awards, it's a shame the same generational leap hasn't been carried over to the Compass.
As for the polo, it seem the only commonality between the Compass and the horse-riding field sport is its vibrant colour palette. Horses for courses, they say.

Remind supervisors to avoid the temptation of making oral promises that they may not be able to keep, even if that means losing an employee who has another job offer. In New Jersey, if such promises don't materialize, you hand the angry employee grounds for a "detrimental reliance" lawsuit.
Say, for example, an employee who hasn't received a raise because your labor budget is tight tells you she has another job offer. You counter with a promise of more money or advanced training. The employee stays, but the perks never materialize. Employees can sue and win if they can show that they relied on your promise to their detriment, i.e., by turning down job offers.
If you want employees to reject other job offers, put any agreement you reach in writing and follow through. Then have them acknowledge that they have received the additional incentive and understand that they remain at-will employees.
Recent case: Gale Good worked for Linvatec Corp. as a sales rep. Unlike many other reps, she sold just one line of the company's products. To sell the full line required up to two years' advanced training.
When the company restructured, it offered most of the full-line sales reps distributorships or jobs with them. A manager told Good the company would train her in the full line, so she could work for a distributorship. But the training never materialized, and Linvatec eliminated her position.
Good sued, alleging detrimental reliance.
She lost because she hadn't shown she relied on the promised training. She didn't turn down a job, give up a job search or otherwise do anything that suggested she relied on the promise to her detriment. (Good v. Linvatec Corporation, No. 05-1930, DC NJ, 2006)
Final tip: As an extra layer of security, include a disclaimer in your employee manual stating that oral promises aren't binding on the organization and employees shouldn't rely on them.

Thonis Philips Leeuwenhoek
Primary tabs
Other name:
Thoenis, Tonis
Burial date:
June 30, 1643
When he married the first time, in 1594, Thonis Philips lived on Oude Delft over de Halve Maan, according to Burg's geneology. Which house is that? His grandson Lambrecht Huijch (1624-1701) owned D0508 now Oude Delft 97, but that was decades later. There was a Halve Maan brewery, owned by Hugo Jacobs Bruijn van der Dussen, but it wasn't on Oude Delft.
His wife Geerdtgen Huygen bore four children, two of whom died in infancy, and two sons, Philips and Huijch, Antony's father and uncle. Since Geerdtgen died in 1600, Thonis must have been born around 1570.
Thonis and his two sons moved to the east side of Oosteinde near the Leeuwenpoortje (little Lion's Gate) for marriages two, three, and four (and three children who died in infancy, one with each wife). In 1601, Thonis became a registered member of the Dutch Reformed Church the same year that he married second wife Neeltgen Cornelis.
Thonis owned B0546 now Verwersdijk 97 A and bequeathed it to granddaughter Geertruijt (Huijch's daughter). He owned A0985 - A0991, now on Dr. Schaepmanstraat, until Huijch got it April 1643. He owned E0073 now Oosteinde 56, where AvL grew up.
After April 1643, he lived with his son Huijch on Brabanste Turfmarkt.
Thonis outlived his son Philips (Antony's father), so his son Huijch was his only living child, getting the block of seven properties just outside the city gate, over the southeast corner of the singel on what is now Dr. Schaepmanstraat.
When he died in 1643, Thonis left a total of 4,000 guilders to be invested and shared by Hugo (Philips's brother) and Philips's children (Antony and his four surviving sisters) when they came of age (usually 25) or married. Antony presumably received one-third of half of this money when he married in 1654, by which time he had only two survivng sisters. He may have used that to buy his house on the Hippolytusbuurt.
Thonis paid the verpondingen 1632 Cromhoutspoort (29 stuivers), noortsij van de poort van de Vest naet water (36 stuivers), idem (2 gulden), aen straet (5 gulden), Oosteinde O.. (5 gulden)haardstedegeld 1638 Oosteinde O.. (2 gulden).

Since 2003, the charity Refugee Women of Bristol, has been addressing the needs of female refugees in the city. Set up by a group women who were themselves refugees, at its heart the organisation is well-versed in the direct concerns of vulnerable women in Bristol.
Now, 13 years since it was founded, the charity is the only Bristol organisation focussed on the needs of refugee women and is run by, and assists, women of many faiths and ethicities from the city's refugee and asylum seeker communities.
The charity provides a range of important services including English lessons, the provision of bus passes, health and well-being activities, a crèche, a lunch club – free of charge for asylum seekers, translation support, advice and advocacy and information workshops.
The charity conducts most of its activities at its drop-in centre, open every term-time Tuesday at the Malcom X Centre in St Pauls, Bristol.
Around 300 refugee and asylum seeking women are helped by the charity every year. It's ultimate aim is to raise the educational and economic status of refugee and asylum seeking women in Bristol. Through support, training and empowerment, the organisation hope to see these women gain employment and support themselves, reducing isolation and improving confidence.
Do more
Between 1-2pm on 8 November 2016 the organisation will be holding an open day at the Malcom X Centre. The aim of the event is to recruit new volunteers to help with the group ongoing community work. Find out more: www.refugeewomenofbristol.org.uk/
