*This review contains strong language. Mother has already threatened me with the soap and water!
I love supporting strong, inspirational and creative women. To sound incredibly educated here, Beyoncé once said "We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We need to step up as women and take the lead"….if only there was a theatre company who thought like Queen B….*cue dreamy music*
"We want to push the boundaries of how women are perceived on stage and screen, to provide a platform to give women a strong presence in the arts…"
What a coincidence! I stumbled across The Well Behaved Women on Twitter and adored the opportunity to watch their all female cast for the very first time. Their first play, Dog Play Dead, had already been tried and tested in the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival circuit (check out my fellow theatre blogger Musical Musings review) and won the Hiive competition for Emerging Theatre Company. The very talented Anna Thomas-Jones also wrote and starred in Dog Play Dead so I had to play fetch!
Dog Play Dead was like arriving late to your friend's sleepover and witnessing the sorry sight of your four drunk friends (Katie, Mica, Sam and Rachel) crack open the bottles of champers and Prosecco without you. The Well Behaved Women…well weren't very well behaved!
"Throwing a great party in an amazing house, what could possibly go wrong? Except you're supposed to be house-sitting. For a mafia boss. And now his beloved dog is missing. And there's a pool of blood on the floor. And to make the hangover even worse, your boss' daughter then arrives… Surely not a situation that well-behaved women would find themselves in? A gripping black comedy full of unexpected twists and unexpected laughs, presented to you by a new and daring all-female company"
The Well Behaved Women, 2016
Walking into the booms of Icona Pop's I love it…I got this feeling on the winter day when men were gone. I crashed my butt into the seat. I watched, I let Dog Play Dead run. The cast threw your "fucks" around the stage and dogged it down the stairs. I crashed my butt into the seat. I don't care…I love it.
Spotting blood in the kitchen and the disappearance of the Dalmatian, Dog Play Dead intends to play the game of Scrabble, not Cluedo. Jumping to the hasty conclusion that the dog is dead, the bitching commences. Katie (Gemma Wilson) scrambles from her dog sitting duty and buries her head in a bowlful of guilt…and Cheerios. The dognapping conversation between Mica (Sophie MacKenzie) and Sam (Colette Eaton) comes back to bite them on the bum tit. The mafia boss' daughter, PB, constantly teases the foursome with the possibility of making spotty gloves – Cruella de Vil would certainly approve! Rachel (Ailis Duff) takes the final doggy biscuit as she concludes the murder investigation with a peace offering.
Throughout the show, my swear jar was filling up with fucking imaginary fuck money. Now you could say "You're from the 70s, Emma" and "I am 90s bitch" – points to Mica's double bun hairstyle – but the fucking amount of times the F word was used was a little unnecessary. The swearing helped to create the intended state of panic and added a splash of comical value, but the fuck, shit and wallop started to bark up the wrong tree. The muzzle was certainly on standby.
Cranking up the Psycho thriller, PB creates this hot and cold stage presence, showering the actresses into absolute panic. Her emotionless face rarely cracks and commands fear into the room. Sniffing for vulnerability, PB is the play's bloodhound and digs for the friends' trembling bones. Her monotoned interaction with Katie triumphs the play's comedy aspirations as PB constantly corrects Katie's word choices and sentence structures. The friends are forced to lick their wounds and become the underdogs in order to survive this unexpected hostage scenario.
Dog Play Dead was a light comical treat and earned a few howls of laughter from the audience. The Well Behaved Women are certainly doggy paddling in the right direction and throwing five bones for all female casts. The play could be seen as a woman's best friend, but it's the company who get my blogging tail wagging.

Ursini signs to play at Dean College
Recommended Video:
On Thursday afternoon, Marcello Ursini's scholastic baseball career came to an end when Shelton High dropped a heart-breaking 2-0 decision to Trumbull High in a Class LL second-round matchup.
Early Friday morning, Ursini set the course for the next step in his baseball odyssey, as he signed his National Letter of Intent to play baseball at Dean College in Franklin, Mass. this fall.
"It's something I've dreamt of doing since I was a little kid," said Ursini, the Gaels' standout senior center fielder. "I knew growing up, after the Little League World Series, there was a chance I wanted to keep it going."
Ursini, along with fellow Shelton High tri-captain Tyler Tice among others, powered Shelton National's run to the Little League World Series back in 2008.
From there, Ursini continued to have success on the diamond. A three-year starter for coach Scott Gura at Shelton High, Ursini broke the school's single-season hit record with 42 base hits in 2012.
He also helped the Gaels win the Southern Connecticut Conference championship over Amity in 2010 and the Class LL state title against South Windsor last spring.
"He was a big part of that," Gura said. "He went on to have an incredible senior season, hitting .408, with a lot of pressure on him to follow up his record-breaking year last year. He's a special five-tool player."
Last Wednesday, Ursini showed just how valuable he was to the Gaels in their first-round matchup with Manchester High.
With Shelton trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Ursini tied the game at 2 by slamming an RBI double to left field. He then scored the go-ahead run on C.J. Rizzo's sacrifice fly, propelling Shelton to its second-round showdown with Trumbull.
"He was a great leader and captain for us," Gura said. "He's going to be missed. There is a huge hole in center field now."
Said Ursini: "Our three leaders this year, Tyler, Ryan (Testani) and I, we've been through everything together."
To get to where he is now, Ursini also decided to give up playing football as a junior.
"I can say football was just an activity for me," he said. "I liked playing it, but I knew my love for baseball was going to be stronger. I just figured I should stop playing so I didn't get hurt."
It proved to be the right choice, as Ursini was named to the New Haven Register All-Area team in 2012, as well to the CT Post's All-State second team. He was also All-SCC Housatonic Division in 2012 and 2013 and All-Valley in 2012.
"It's been great," Ursini said. "I came out, worked hard and earned my spot."
Ursini will be joining a Division II NJCAA Dean squad that went 20-16 this past season. His presence in the heart of the Shelton order and marshaling center field will certainly be missed by the Gaels.
"He's a polite and respectful kid," Gura said. "We want more of these kids like that (Ursini) in the program."

Spencer, Iowa — Details are sketchy at this time, but two Spencer residents have been charged with incest.
The Spencer Police report that they arrested 35-year-old Jarrold Marble and 18-year-old Elizabeth Welch on Sunday (1/6) in connection with the case.
Spencer Police officials could say that the investigation continues and that the Department of Human Services is involved, but that was all they could say.
Officials report that more information may become available after the investigation is complete, which may take a week or two.

3 Hour Workshops
Everyday AI
What do listening to music, taking a flight, and getting stopped by the police all have in common? You might not realize it, but these actions could all involve artificial intelligence (AI) at work. This workshop explores all the ways in which AI impacts our lives while unpacking the mysteries of what AI is and does. With our new found knowledge, together we will attempt to design an AI system that can be used to solve a neighborhood based problem while practicing equity. Participants will walk away with the ability to identify AI in action, a creative framework for designing AI systems, and a People's Guide to AI booklet to continue learning.
1 Hour Workshops
Pattern Finder
Deep learning! Machine learning! Patterns! OH MY! In this workshop we will unpack the concepts and functions of machine learning with in AI. We will look at prediction technologies that utilize machine learning to predict what you want and explore
Speculative Fiction
A People's Guide to AI (Artificial Intelligence) is an educational and speculative approach to understanding AI and its growing impact on society. The booklet and accompanying workshops explore the forms AI takes today and the role AI-based technologies can play in fostering equitable futures. The project resists narratives of dystopian futures by using popular education, design and storytelling to lay the groundwork for creative imaginings. As part of Proximity at the Main Library, participants will get a crash course in the basics of what makes up AI then create a collaborative speculative story that depicts a future of technology that is equitable and inspiring. Learners will walk away with a greater understanding of AI in our everyday lives, the agency they have in shaping the future of technology and a copy of A people's' guide to AI booklet to continue learning.
Algorithms and Social Spaces
Algorithms are increasingly being deployed across society. In many situations, their usage is relatively straightforward. But when they are used to help make decisions that can impact people's lives and choices, things can become far more complicated. This lecture/ hands on workshop will offer a crash course in the ethics of algorithms. We will uncover how algorithms in social spaces such as predictive policing can exclude and prioritize certain people, creating social injustices. Then together we explore what algorithm accountability can look like in practice.

While the long-lasting qualities of a gel polish manicure are alluring, you likely already have a mountainous collection of traditional lacquers in your stash in all colors and brands. To maximize the potential of the products you already have, celebrity manicurist and fan of Duri Cosmetics Carla Kay shares how to paint an at-home manicure that lasts and shines like gel – but with polish!
1. Kay suggests trying a "waterless manicure," since placing hands in a bowl of water prior to painting expands the nail bed causing the polish to take longer to dry. Start out with using Duri's Cuticle Remover and brush over the nail before pushing back the cuticle. Next, use a warm washcloth to wipe the remover off toward the back of the hand. Kay suggests skipping the cuticle cutting unless there's a visible part sticking out that needs to be trimmed. After pushing back the cuticle, the nail should be clean of skin.
2. Apply Herbatheraphy, Duri's blend of all natural herb extracts and sprig of Thyme. Herbatherapy helps make nails grow healthy and strong. Use a soft micro buffer to gently work the oil into the nail beds for a soft smooth finish.
3. For filing, you can use a 180 grit soft file to work on corner-to-center and then the opposite. You want to make sure you are not over filing the nail and avoid using a sawing motion. Use the nail shape as a guide to shaping your nails. For example, an oval shape is best if you have slender nail beds. You can always slightly taper the nails inward for a more slendering effect.
4. Once cuticles are pushed back and the nails are filed and buffed, wash hands with warm soap and water and dry completely. For weak or damaged by gels or acrylics, apply Duri's Rejuvacote 2 to help strengthen and rebuild the nails back to good health. This is also very important because is also works as a base for making the manicure last longer. Then, apply one coat of polish and allow to dry for 1-2 minutes before applying the second coat and again, waiting 1-2 minutes to dry.
5. Finish off with Duri's Non-Yellowing Top Coat. This will help the polish dry quickly and seal it for a chip-free manicure or pedicure that has been known to last up to 12 days or more. For quick in-between maintenance, you can apply Duri's French Herbs Cuticle Oil to hydrate nails and make them look fresh.
*For the best results, do not apply hand lotion until after the nail polish is completely dry. This avoids over saturating the nail bed from having any residue that causes polish chipping.
Carla Kay is a celebrity manicurist living in Los Angeles whose clients include Jennifer Lawrence, Gwen Stefani and Shakira. Her cutting-edge creativity and expertise have made her a visionary in the world of manicuring and pedicuring, keeping her clients coming back for more dazzling digits.

For more than 12 months, Becky and Sarah have been reaching out with the gospel to women in prostitution in Leicester, and below is a personal account of the ministry of Saffires.
It's a bright Wednesday afternoon and I'm walking down a busy street with a friend, carrying a box of delicious homemade cupcakes tied up with a pretty blue ribbon. But we're not visiting a new mum or dropping off cakes with someone who's sick.
No, these cakes are gifts for women who aren't usually on the church's radar. We're on our way to visit a massage parlour.
God's restoring love
Saffires was launched in 2015 with the aim of sharing God's restoring love with women in our local sex industry. We visit massage parlours every other week, taking homemade cake and spending as much time as we're given chatting to the women and building relationships with them.
We offer prayer and the opportunity to meet with us individually for coffee. Our vision is twofold: to see the women exit prostitution and make positive life choices; and to see them come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and become part of our churches. While we don't go on every visit intending to convert people – after all that's God's job and not ours – we do welcome questions about our faith and it's surprising how many questions the women have.
One woman asked us recently whether we'd always been Christians and what we believed, yet ten months ago, she would barely speak to us when we visited. Now she misses us when we're not able to go. Others ask questions about faith and want to talk about things that concern them.
Answered prayer
It's amazing to see how God has answered our prayers over the last year. Whenever we start visiting a new place, we ask God where he wants us to go. We want him to send us to the places where he's already at work, stirring up new life in the women. Every door we've knocked on is a door he's told us to knock on and we are rarely refused entry.
We've been able to pray with five women and ask God to help them with difficult things they are facing. Who would ever imagine that a massage parlour would be a place of prayer?! One woman has even started talking about wanting to read her Bible again and some women talk about praying themselves.
As we've built relationships, the women are sharing more personal, detailed prayer requests. This shows us that they trust us more, that they believe we will pray for them and, perhaps, that they hope God will answer our prayers. We believe he will answer their prayers too.
At Easter, we gave the women seasonal gifts with a tag attached that said: 'Jesus died to give you a new full life now, and a hope for the future' and a couple of weeks later we received an email from one venue to thank us for those messages and for all that we do.
The challenges
Sometimes I feel like we don't do very much. It often feels like all we do is chat and that we're not really making a difference in the women's lives. But several months ago we did ask whether there was anything we could do particularly to support them.
'Nothing' was the response, 'you're already really kind and generous'. Initially I felt quite frustrated: didn't they want us to help with access to education courses, or to support job applications? But then I realised, we give them something that very few people probably ever give them – time to be themselves, to talk about what they want to talk about, and to be listened to. It seems like nothing to me, but I've learned that that's actually a vastly important thing that shouldn't be underestimated.
By listening and giving our time, we are communicating to them that they are worth listening to, that they are worth our time, that they are precious – both to us and to God.
Of course, the one who has really made all of this possible, and who has sustained us, is Jesus. And it's because of him that Saffires exists. It's because of the way we have seen him interact with women, the poor and the vulnerable through the pages of the Bible, that we understand how precious each individual is to him.
In Luke 7 we have a clear example of Jesus taking time to recognise and communicate the value of a woman who was rejected, ignored and shunned by the rest of society. To even allow her to touch him was a scandalous, shameful thing. That's how strong his love is for her, that he would allow himself to be shamed in order to raise her up and give her hope.
We believe that Jesus' love is just as strong for the women in the sex industry. As his followers, we want to take the good news about his love to them.

A travel cost analysis of nonconsumptive wildlife-associated recreation in the United StatesAuthor(s): William T. Zawacki; Allan Marsinko; J. Michael Bowker

DescriptionIncreased emphasis on sustainable resource management in forestry has effectuated a demand for various nontimber values. Nonconsumptive wildlife recreation is an important nontimber service produced on forest and rangeland. Travel cost models and data from the 1991 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation are used to estimate the demand and value for nonconsumptive wildlife-associated recreation in the United States. Resulting welfare measures are shown to be sensitive to assumptions about the cost of travel time, pecuniary costs, and functional form. Consumer surplus estimates range from 18.7 to 327.5 dollars per trip, while aggregate estimates of consumer surplus resulting from access to nonconsumptive wildlife recreation range from 5.8 to 66.4 billion dollars annually. Availability of information about nonparticipants allows comparison of truncated and untruncated demand models. Contrary to previous findings, consumer surplus estimates from truncated models are smaller than for untruncated counterparts. Trip demand is found to be adversely affected by per capita decreases in forest and rangeland. Models include interaction variables to avoid forcing hunting or fishing as potential substitutes for the large number of people who do not hunt or fish. Hunting and nonconsumptive wildlife recreation are complementary activities, while the results for fishing are mixed.

New Studies Confirm Supplements Enhance HealthBy Dr. Allen S. Josephs - 07/10/2008
I get so tired of responding to vitamin naysayers. The latest one is Dr. Eric Rimm, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard. He reportedly told ABC television that dietary supplements will not provide the nutritional boost a poor diet requires. He does correctly state that a change in diet and lifestyle will improve health, although adds that "fundamentally unhealthy people seeking dietary remedial actions through supplementation are wasting their time". He also adds, "Indeed, dietary supplements used in this way may provide little more than expensive urine."
Obviously, optimizing your diet and exercise plans is a great way to improve your health. Even so, I take issue with Dr. Rimm uniformly slamming nutritional supplementation. Dr. Michael Holick who wrote a wonderful review article1 on vitamin D deficiency last year in The New England Journal of Medicine, noted that 40% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. It is clear that the nutritional value of our food has diminished over the last few decades.
The top researches studying vitamin D have indicated that the optimal level required is several times the current RDA/DV of only 400 IU per day. In fact, the optimal levels appear to be in the 2,000 – 4,000 IU range. There is no reasonable way diet alone can provide anywhere close to this level. If Dr. Rimm would have said the typical multi-vitamin with only 400 IU per day is a waste of time, I would have respected that. But to inaccurately say that generally all vitamins are a waste of money is absurd.
There have been many impressive studies in the medical literature supporting the benefits of supplementation. For instance, in 1996, there was a double blinded randomized study2 published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) involving over 1,300 patients that compared 200 mcg per day of selenium in the form of selenomethionine versus placebo. The study reported that the selenium group had a 37% reduction in all cancers, with a 50% decrease in mortality. Again, the typical diet does not provide this level of selenium nor does the typical multi-vitamin.
Another example relates to Parkinson's disease. The Archives of Neurology published a study3 several years ago indicating Parkinson's patients supplemented with 1,200 mg per day of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) had a 50% reduction in the progression of their disease. There are no drugs available proven to provide this benefit, nor could you ever have this amount of CoQ10 in your diet. Dr. Rimm is providing wrong and misleading advice that will continue to bankrupt America with out of control health care costs related to cancer, heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and many other diseases which may benefit, or experience reduced risk, from proper dietary supplementation.
Moving on, there have been several new studies, either published or presented, highlighting the benefits of supplementation. One such study4, presented last week at the International Association for Dental Research Meeting in Toronto, Canada, involved 206 women during their second trimester of pregnancy (which is around the time that primary teeth begin to develop and calcify in the fetus). Researchers measured vitamin D blood levels at the time of enrolment and followed the women until their infants were about one year old. Of the 206 women, only 21 (about 10%) were found to have adequate vitamin D levels. The average woman had vitamin D levels that were only about half of what would be considered adequate.
The teeth of 135 infants that were subsequently born were evaluated by this dental team. Amazingly, about 22% had noticeable enamel defects and about one third already had early childhood tooth decay. It was found that those women with lower vitamin D levels had children who were much more likely to develop the early tooth decay. The lead author of the study, Dr. Schroth, did indicate that the study group was urban aboriginal and that the results may not be completely applicable to the public at large.
In another study5 published in the July 2008 edition of the prestigious journal, Pediatrics, a group of pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive four different types of probiotics or inactive placebo four weeks prior to delivery. The infants also received the same friendly bacterial mix along what is known as pre-biotics (nutrients that help friendly bacteria to grow) or placebo daily for six months. The researchers then followed the infants for two years. It was found that of the infants given placebo, 28% of them required antibiotics in the first six months of their lives, compared to 23% given probiotics. Likewise, the infants who were given the probiotics had about 12 % reduction in respiratory infections in the first two years of their lives compared to the placebo group.
Finally, the journal Nutrition Research also published an interesting study6 in its July 2008 issue. Researchers from the University of Toronto noted that patients with elevated blood sugar could have some memory impairment after ingesting heavy meals. They felt that this may in some way be related to oxidative damage.
In the study, 16 men and women with elevated blood sugar, aged 50 years or older, were asked to eat three different meals at three separate weekly sessions: the first one was a high fat meal consisting of a Danish, cheddar cheese and yogurt with whipped cream; the second meal consisted of only water; and the third meal included the first high fat meal, but this time it was supplemented with 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 800 IU of vitamin E.
Afterwards, it was noted that people performed poorly on verbal recall and working memory for up to 105 minutes after eating the high fat meal. However, when they took the vitamins along with the meal, they did just as well on the testing as those individuals who just drank water. Dr. Greenwood, the lead author of the study, indicated, "The cognitive effects observed in the study were subtle but large enough to impair performance. It kind of makes the 50-year old brain more like the 75-years old brain."

We spent our Christmas and New Year break in Cubulco. AMG closed their central office for two weeks and the kids had a two and a half week break from school. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life which is bad most of the year, but gets terrible around Christmas time. It was nice to go to rural and "quiet" Cubulco. We really enjoyed our time there although it was very busy. Nico was busy most days from early morning until late in the evening meeting with people, preaching and teaching, and making decisions regarding the work. There were several unexpected hurdles along the way which forced him to make some substantial changes. One of the things you have to learn on the mission field is to be flexible and go with the flow as each day things can change. Thankfully almost everything was figured out before we had to leave and go back to the city so that the kids could attend classes.
One of the highlights of our trip was the work we were able to do with the church. Nico spent a lot of time with the "jovenes" (young people) of the church teaching them Sunday school and meeting with them at night. We watched several Christian documentaries and movies which inspired the young people. Many of the young people have expressed the desire to profess their faith publicly and have been attending the classes offered by the church. However, some of them due to a number of reasons were unsure as to what to do. Nico was able to meet with them over Christmas and answer some of their questions and counsel them in what it means to join the church. In a church like Cubulco which is full of first generation Christians, many of the young people do not have good Christian role models. Often first generation Christians have a lot of baggage that they can not get rid of which cause them to react to situations often in a cultural/traditional way instead of the Biblical way. Often the church leaders say one thing in a sermon or in class and do the opposite. Often the problems in the church are either caused by the leaders or get bigger because they leaders do not deal with them in the proper way. For this reason it is common to see the second generation either leave the church because they view many of the first generation Christians as hypocrites, or they go to another church were people appear more "mature" spiritually. Nico spent a lot of time talking about this with the young people trying to help them understand their parents and why they do not always provide the best godly example. Nico also told them that they need to be aware of the limitations their parents and leaders have and to look for ways in which they can support the church by being more involved and taking ownership. If they want the church to grow the young people need to step up to the plate.
The young people responded to the challenge and just before we left we witnessed 6 young people publicly profess their faith in front of the whole church. This profession of faith was not just stating that they agree with the doctrines taught in the church, but each also expressed in their own words their desire to follow Jesus with their whole heart. We also witnessed the baptism of a mother and her teenage daughter, and the baptism of 3 children. We were very encouraged to see the fruit of many years of labor not only by us, but also by other missionaries who have worked here. If these young people stand fast the future of the church looks bright. Please pray for them that God will bind them to His heart and hold them fast.
|Pastor Xicara
During our time in Cubulco we also were privileged to minister with a pastor and his wife who have expressed interest in working in Cubulco. Obviously there are many details to be worked out like salary, housing, etc. Also whatever pastor that comes down needs to be examined and needs to go through a trial period. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is to find someone willing to work for a salary that the church can sustain. We have had pastors interested in coming, but they are expecting a salary that the local church might never be able to pay. Some of these pastors think that their salary will come from North America, but this is not the case, at least not in the long term. Initially the mission will help support the pastor, but the idea is that each year they reduce funding while the church increases its funding. For this reason it is important to pay a salary that the church can fully sustain in 5-10 years and to involve the church in the salary negotiations. Please pray for the church and these proceedings.

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
I woke to Katie Curic and Matt Laurer's breaking news of another set of "possible" bombings in London. I remember the last time I heard breaking news from this duo…
I was teaching a first period general music class at Kettering Middle School. I had a birthday chain hanging in my classroom, given to me by one of my students. I tore off 9/11 and commented that I had two weeks until my birthday. We were watching a video which I had forgotten to rewind from another class the day before. As the tape rewound, Katie and Matt were busy chatting away and I told the class, "Let's spend some time with Katie and Matt. If we're lucky Al Roker will be on." About that time, Katie said she had breaking news – a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Within seconds she had live coverage. I figured it was a small plane – but the damage looked pretty severe.
I stepped through the connecting class room door to Ann Snyder's room as she was finishing her attendance check, and told her to turn on the television. We checked out the scene and then stood chatting in the doorway, keeping an eye on our darlings. "How could a plane not miss that tower?" We had not discussed the probability of this when suddenly, the classes both yelled out – a second plane had crashed into the other tower. Ann and I both looked at one another without saying a word. Finally, Ann said what I was fearing – "We're being attacked."
I called the front office who was unaware of this. Immediately, Mrs. Gray, the principal was in my classroom. She waited before issuing a call to all the classroom teachers to let them determine whether or not to watch this. I decided my television was not going silent. Each class of students and I watched the day's events unfold – Washington evacuated, the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania. We watched the towers glide down towards the earth with that hideous cloud of smoke and debris covering that area of the city.
Within an hour, parents from the air force base were retrieving their children from school. Normally, there is nothing but drama and hysterical speculation during a crises – and even more so from middle school students. That day, even my most verbal and toughest students were stunned into silence. They did not comment. They watched the television. Some would ask questions, but for the most part, they remained silent.
One day, back in 1986, I had my students in the library of Northside High School to work on a general music assignment. The audio-video lady was in her room and I watched the preparations for the Challenger's lift off. I asked her if she minded me bringing the class in to watch and she agreed. As a child, I can remember sitting on my great-grandfather's lap watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. When my great-grandfather was my age, Wilbur & Orville Wright had flown for the first time. Armstrong was my hero then and I had no idea that our paths would cross 30 years later. I pointed out to the students Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher to go into space, as she waved and smiled as she walked to her mission. I can remember seeing the camera zoom in on her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Corrigan, and how thrilled and proud they looked. Having not seen a shuttle take off, I did not notice anything out of the ordinary. What I did notice was the expression on the Corrigans' faces as someone stepped up to say something to them. Then, there was an announcement that there had been a malfunction and the Corrigans were immediately escorted through the crowd, unnoticed by those who stood staring up at the trail of smoke. In 1996, I got to meet Mrs. Corrigan at the Indianapolis Children's Museum and she signed two of her books I had purchased for former teachers. Inside each one she wrote – "Thanking you for touching Darin's life. Keep reaching for the stars."
How different the scene was from the Challenger to the Twin Towers. As the second tower fell, I remembered how I loved sitting up inside the observation mall that had a 360 degree view. How magnificent that view was and to think that it was no more.
Later that afternoon of 9/11, while teaching a private lesson, there was a boom louder than anything I had ever heard. The walls of my townhouse shook, books shifted on cases, pictures moved, and my heart stopped. There had been rumors at school that Wright -Patterson Air Force Base was also a target and that was the first thing that came to mind. The student, parent and I immediately went outside, joined by other families from the townhouse community. The sky was so beautiful – a painful reminder of the sky about 700 miles away to the east. Later we learned the "boom" was a sonic boom! A sound I had only heard described by my grandparents.
That night, I drove to Brody and Sue McDonald's for dinner. The gas station prices had shot up and the lines were streaking around the corners from every direction. Panic had set in. Kroger Supermarket lines were jammed and overflowing and I finally ran to a small convenience store down the street. I sat with Brody and Sue McDonald after dinner to watch President Bush address the nation. His words were disappointing and uneventful. How different were his bland words from those spoken by President Reagan in 1986 – they were comforting, commanding and poetic.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd planned to speak to you tonight to report on the state of the Union, but the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans. Today is a day for mourning and remembering. Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. This is truly a national loss.
Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But we've never lost an astronaut in flight; we've never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps we've forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle. But they, the Challenger Seven, were aware of the dangers, overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe. We mourn their loss as a nation together.
[To] the families of the seven: we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "Give me a challenge, and I'll meet it with joy." They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us. We've grown used to wonders in this century. It's hard to dazzle us. But for 25 years the United States space program has been doing just that. We've grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we've only just begun. We're still pioneers. They, the members of the Challenger crew, were pioneers.
And I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle's takeoff. I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them.
I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute. We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: ""Your dedication and professionalism have moved an impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it. "
There' s a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and an historian later said, ""He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it." Well today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete.
The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."

How much was BW's budget cut by last year because of the cock ups at DEFRA? Seven or eight million pounds, from memory? Cut from the funding of a directly government-run organisation. I read in the Guardian this morning that the government has found two BILLION - yes, not seven or eight million, but two million* million - £2,000,000,000,000 to bale out Metronet, who have cocked up running the tube under the Public Private Partnership forced through by Gordon Brown, when he was Chancellor, against the wishes of both the Mayor of London and the then Chief Executive of Transport for London.
The idea of BW being privatised, when it was floated (or flown as one might a kite) last year was met with horror - not least chez nb Warrior. But this just goes to show, if you want the government to dole out the cash, it pays to have the private sector on board. Canals can dry up, tunnels collapse, and fees rise for the sake of relative peanuts, but no private company can ever be allowed to lose money, despite one of the selling points of PPP supposedly being that they are taking the risk, this also being offered as the justification for the enormous returns they can garner on the rare occasions when they don't cock it all up. Why should they bother trying not to when they know that the taxpayer will have to fork out in the end anyway. How much of the twenty five billion sunk into Northern Rock will the government or the taxpayer ever see again?
And people worry about benefit scroungers and asylum seekers.
*If the Guardian has unexpectedly and inexplicably adopted the US interpretation of a billion, you can knock three noughts off that. Still leaves a hell of a lot though.

Laugh Out Loud: 40 Women Humorists Celebrate Then and Now…Before We Forget, a nostalgic, humorous look at life through the ages, is now available as an ebook.
Published by Allia Zobel Nolan in association with the University of Dayton's Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop, the book was launched at the spring workshop, with half of the essayists in attendance for a book signing. The Kindle version is just $3.99, about the cost of a cappuccino. The popular paperback sells for $14.95, and is available on Amazon and in the University of Dayton's Bookstore. Part of the proceeds benefits the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop endowment fund, which keeps the workshop affordable for writers.
The book has received strong, early reviews and praise from nationally known writers and humorists.
"In the spirit of Erma Bombeck, one of the greatest humorists of all times, this collection celebrates the voice of women who are smart, strong and funny," write Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella, New York Times' bestselling authors of I See Life Through Rosé-Colored Glasses, in the opening pages of the book. "From yoga poses to funeral arrangements to dating mishaps, these stories will not only entertain but also remind us that life is too short not to laugh."
Kathy Kinney and Cindy Ratzlaff, authors of Queen of Your Own Life: The Grown Up Woman's Guide to Claiming Happiness and Getting the Life You Deserve, call the humor anthology "an irreverent, non-soppy, laugh-until-you-gag reminder that the only way to survive and thrive in life is to hang on to your sense of humor."
From the beach to bookstores to bars, readers have posted photos of where they're reading Laugh Out Loud. One was spotted at a "Leprechaun Crossing" outside Dublin; another at the Motor City Comic Con in Michigan. The oldest reader: 93. The youngest: a toddler.
Three contributors — Bonnie Jean Feldkamp, Sandra Lingo and Denise Theiry — will participate in a book signing at 1 p.m. on Sept. 15 at the Kenton County Public Library in Covington, Kentucky. Other book signings have taken place in Michigan and Connecticut, and the book was sold at the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' annual convention this summer in Cincinnati.

The Conjuring 3 could shoot in 2019, premiere in 2020
In an interview with Cinema Blend, producer Peter Safran revealed that they are planning to begin production next year for upcoming third installment of Warner Bros. Pictures' The Conjuring. He also added that they are hoping to release The Conjuring 3 in 2020.
RELATED: Conjuring 3 Brings Back James Wan & Screenwriter David Leslie Johnson
"It's actually coming along great. David Leslie Johnson is working on the screenplay, and I feel pretty confident they will have that one up and running next year." Safran said
Last year, it was confirmed that The Conjuring 3 is in the process of development at Warner Bros. Pictures with The Conjuring 2 screenwriter David Leslie Johnson returning to write the third film. Conjuring Universe creator James Wan (Aquaman) and Peter Safran are producing the film.
RELATED: The Nun Opens to Conjuring Franchise Record with $131 Million Worldwide
Details for the plot are still being kept under wraps but Safran had previously stated years ago that The Conjuring 3 would break the pattern of "another supernatural possession in a house with a family in peril." It is also not yet certain if Wan will also return to direct.
Recently, it has also been reported that the untitled Annabelle 3 will begin its filming this fall. The latest installment to the Conjuring Cinematic Universe is director Corin Hardy's The Nun starring Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story) and Demian Bichir, which is now playing in theaters.

Identifying and approaching a shoplifting suspect is a delicate matter that can lead to dire consequences if mishandled ("Sheng Siong rolls out new way to tackle shoplifting"; Thursday).
Many major supermarkets have thought of this initiative of approaching suspicious shop thieves before they strike, on the pretext of offering them assistance.
But the idea was abandoned as it could have far-reaching effects, such as additional manpower needs and customer inconvenience, and worse, mistaking a genuine customer for a suspect.
Some customers may feel offended if they are approached by a store employee wearing a vest that bears the Shopwatch logo.
They are cognisant of the store's measure to deter shoplifting, and being singled out for this "special offer of help" can imply that the employee suspects them of being potential shoplifters.
Some customers may feel offended if they are approached by a store employee wearing a vest that bears the Shopwatch logo.
It would be embarrassing for a customer to be in this kind of situation where all eyes are on him.
Any misstep in executing this Shopwatch initiative could result in loss of customer loyalty and sales rather than better service.
Retailers should, thus, study this initiative in perspective before implementing it.
