IT'S A CHAPTER IN AMERICAN HISTORY MOST OF US ARE not aware of, a period at the beginning of World War II when 600,000 Italian American immigrants were deemed enemy aliens. Many were relocated and even sent to internment camps, simply because of where they were born -- including a fair number here in Humboldt County.
"They called it `the secret story' -- `una storia segreta,'" said Marino Sichi, an Arcata resident who was among those sent to an internment camp. "The Italians considered it a secret. They were ashamed that this had happened to them. They don't like to talk about it."
[California Internment Camp, photo courtesy prisonersamongus.com]
Sichi was among those interviewed for Prisoners Among Us, a feature length documentary by director Michael Angelo DiLauro exploring the experience of Italian immigrants from their arrival at the end of the 19th century until the 1940s, using archival footage and interviews with those who lived through it.
In a call from his home in Pennsylvania, DiLauro noted that his interest in the Italian-American experience during the war stemmed from a conversation with one of his aunts. She told of visiting an Italian cousin at Camp Perry in Ohio, which served as one of 23 American POW camps housing 50,000 Italian soldiers captured overseas. As he looked back at that history, he learned about Italian-Americans who were held during the war as enemy aliens.
"In order to tell this complex story, of the enemy alien experience and the POWs, and I might add, the Italian Americans who fought in Italy during World War II, I started with [our] immigration and assimilation," he said.
"The Italian mass migration didn't really begin until after the turn of the century. Because it came so late, their opportunity for assimilation was small, so by the time 1941 rolled around, they were still living in Italian enclaves and most still spoke the Italian language. Many hadn't bothered to become [American] citizens."
As a result, after war was declared, 600,000 Italians living in the United States were deemed "enemy aliens" and around 10,000 ended up in internment camps. "There were not as many as there were Japanese [interned], but it was no less tragic. And nobody knows about it," said DiLauro.
In research for the film DiLauro drew on the work of Stephen Fox, a Humboldt State University history professor who wrote a book on the subject: The Unknown Internment: An Oral History of the Relocation of Italian Americans During World War II.
Among those interviewed for the book and the film was Sichi, age 84, who came to Humboldt County from Bagani di Lucca, Italy in 1922 when he was 2 years old. When World War II broke out, Marino was 21 and the Sichi family was living in Arcata's Sunset district.
Under wartime regulations, "We had to be inside the house at 8 o'clock at night and couldn't leave until 6 in the morning," he recalled. "We couldn't travel more than a few miles from home. We couldn't cross to the west side of G Street in Arcata or Fourth Street in Eureka" since that was Highway 101 at the time. "I guess they thought we might blow up the place," Sichi added with a chuckle. "That stupid General De Witt thought we shouldn't be there," he continued, referring to Lieutenant General John L. De Witt, commander of the Fourth Army and Western Defense Command in San Francisco.
When President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, thousands of non-naturalized Italians, Germans and Japanese, were deemed potential enemy aliens, and De Witt, fearful of "fifth column" spies, ordered all that were 14 years of age and older be removed from areas near the West Coast.
Since the Sichi family's chicken ranch was on the west side of the highway, the side towards the presumably vulnerable coastline, the family was forced to move.
While the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans continued through the war years, the laws regarding activities of the Italian population were short-lived, lasting less than a year.
"There was always a large Italian population in Humboldt County, and a lot of Italians in the United States," Sichi noted. "Finally Roosevelt came to his senses and realized that, if he had to guard every Italian in the U.S., it would take the whole Army to do it. They let us go home on Columbus Day [1942]."
But before that happened Sichi was sent to an internment camp. His crime? Curfew violation. "I was out courting at night and my wife-to-be's next door neighbor took offense. Here was a dirty little wop, out after 8 at night. He called the FBI. I woke up in the county jail. A week later they shipped me to a concentration camp, a prison camp in Sharp Park, in Pacifica," he said. "It was a general internment camp where they put everybody that the immigration service had picked up, while they were deciding what to do with us."
While his anger is mostly focused on "that son-of-a-bitch De Witt," Sichi admits some lingering bitterness. "I had done nothing. You know, I left Italy when I was 2. I knew nothing about Mussolini or anything like that."
In November 2000, President Clinton signed a formal apology for injustices suffered by Italian Americans who were relocated, arrested or held in internment camps.
DiLauro felt it was time to tell "the secret story," in part because of things he sees happening today. "You can draw a parallel. I try not to make it heavy-handed, but the film alludes to the question: Are we tolerant of people that are new to this country? Are we tolerant of people with a different look and ethnic background? Time and again we prove that we are not."
Michael DiLauro will speak at a local screening of Prisoners Among Us at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 27, at the Eureka High School Auditorium, 1915 J St. Admission is $3.50. For more information, call 826-5161. For more on the film, go to www.prisonersamongus.com.

"The Laugh Floor" started off with a little bit of a problem on Oct. 11. The sound system wouldn't work, but the students of the Western Activities Council quickly figured that problem out and got the skits on their way.
In the event each organization was given a Disney movie to base their skit on and a challenge to complete while on stage. The Phi Delta Theta fraternity started off with "Toy Story," and their challenge was to have someone say "There's a snake in my boot" while hopping on one leg.
Next was Alpha Sigma Alpha with "Alice in Wonderland," where their challenge was that one person had to salute every person that spoke to them. The Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority followed them with "Pocahontas."
Student-Athlete Advisory Council did an interesting rendition of the "Lion King," in which they had to have someone say "over" after every time he or she spoke. Alpha Gamma Delta had the "Little Mermaid," and their challenge was to sing Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" during their skit.
Phi Sigma Kappa was second to last in the lineup and their skit was based on "Pirates of the Caribbean." To end the skits, Vaselakos Hall performed a few different versions of "Cinderella" for everyone.
Although the skits were entertaining they were far from the main event. Comedian Donnell Rawlings rode out from backstage on a golf cart. Once he hit the stage, the audience instantly filled the gym with laughter.
With Rawlings' new favorite punch line being "Take it to the face," he had students, like freshman Logan Smith, and visitors laughing the entire show.
"I came to see some of my friends perform in the skits, but I am glad I stayed for the comedian because he had me laughing so hard I almost fell out of my seat throughout the show," Smith said.
Although over 600 people attended, not everybody was able to make it, however. While he heard the event was fun, freshman Cooper Roberts didn't make it to the stands.
"I couldn't make it to the laugh floor because I had other plans," Roberts said. "I wish the school would have advertised it more, and I definitely would have left my schedule open. I heard it was a great show."
For some standards, Rawlings' comedy is a little crude and vulgar but he made it a point to show that it was all just a joke for the audience to enjoy. The show came with an adult supervision advisory but from the sounds of the crowd none of them minded his humor.
Rawlings performed for over an hour and left stage saying his most famous line "I'm rich b****" After the show he had a short meet and greet with members of the WAC staff who put on the show for everyone.
When Donnell was asked, after the show, how he realized he wanted to be a comedian he said, "I started out going to a comedy club with my friends as a heckler. Finally the owner of the club challenged me to get onstage and try. After the first time I went on stage I knew that's what I wanted to do."
He also said, "I got my funny side from my family. No matter what tough situation we were going through in our lives we could make each other laugh and get through it. Always enjoying the moments that we had."

Participants of fifth Salzburg Global LGBT Forum discuss rule of law and share life stories on truth and transformation Monica Leonardo and Mark Agrast taking part in a discussion on building a home with the rule of law
The second day of the fifth Salzburg Global LGBT Forum began with law and order as participants discussed how to build a home in the countries they live.
On Monday morning, participants met to take part in a panel discussion titled, "Building Home on the Rule of Law." The discussion featured Mark Agrast, executive director of the American Society of International Law, and Monica Leonardo, a consultant for United Nations agencies and international NGOs.
Nana King, project manager of Deutsche Welle Akademie in Ghana, moderated the discussion. She started the conversation by asking the panelists to describe their initial thoughts on the subject.
Agrast asked participants to envision the rule of law as an ecosystem. He said, "A healthy rule of law is necessary for human rights to flourish." He suggested a thick and thin version of the rule of law existed.
The thin version of the rule of law is the minimum requirement that government officials and citizens are bound by the law and are expected to act by it. The thick version requires governments to be subject to the law and respect human rights and LGBT* rights. It also requires people to know what the laws are, in addition to a justice system which is unbiased, just and effective.
Leonardo informed participants about a gender identity law in Argentina, Bolivia, and Mexico which has enabled people to have the right for their gender identity to be recognized. Changing a document has become a simple administrative procedure. This law has also provided an important step forward concerning dignity. Following this panel discussion, Leonardo said: "There's also the possibility for that rule of law to really become the tool that enables LGBT* people to feel at home."
Truth and Transformation
After conversations on the rule of law, participants attended a panel discussion titled "Life Stories: Truth and Transformation." During this event, a multigenerational panel shared intimate details of their personal journeys and experiences of identifying as LGBT*. "We were born into a world that was not prepared for us. Tell me about the world you were born into," said moderator Marc Pachter, Director Emeritus of the National Portrait Gallery, quoting Salzburg Global LGBT Forum Founder and Chair Klaus Mueller.
The first panelist spoke candidly of her early rebellion against societal pressures facing women in her country but noted that she never questioned her attraction to the same sex. "I didn't question it," she said. "I thought it was interesting." However, the panelist spoke about her refusal to label herself saying, "For me, my sexual identity, I do not call myself a lesbian. I find that flattens my identity, as someone who doesn't want to be labeled."
The second speaker shared a much different journey of sexual identity, noting he did not discover his bisexuality until his late twenties, and, at times struggled to accept his attraction to men. Thanks to his public life, he said he decided to come out at 50, driven, in part, by the desire to help young people struggling with their own identities. He said, "My vision of the world is a place of love, not a place of hate. If each of us gets to the point where we really know who we are, and we accept who we are, if we love ourselves we are not going to hate anyone else."
The youngest panelist shared experiences from his childhood, capturing the evolution of his parent's acceptance of his identity. "My mom eventually asked me, 'Do you want to be a boy or a girl?' I said a boy," he recalled. "If someone asks me when I discovered I was different, I say, 'I never thought I was different. I'm a normal boy.'" His family has grown to embrace his partners, including them in holiday celebrations. "That's how I knew I was accepted," he said.
Speaking after the discussion, Pachter said, "We realize that there are no fixed categories; there are processes and influences, and that even though we gather together under one broad umbrella, the diversity of who is in the room, much less who is talking, is so vast that we are just beginning to learn about ourselves."
Visibility and belonging
After lunch, participants took part in a Knowledge Cafe on Visibility and Belonging. Participants were able to move between six tables and discuss different topics. These themes included: Creating LGBT visibility through surveys and data; Trans people visiting doctors; Schools of Tolerance (Ally-making and ally training); Safe spaces for LGBT students at schools and universities; Creating LGBT visibility in sport; and Discrimination of HIV & LGBT communities in Sri Lanka.
This activity was followed by an open forum, where participants were invited to express themselves or their work through song, texts, programs, and clips.
The session continues.
*LGBT: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. We are using this term as it is currently widely used in human rights conversations on sexual orientation and gender identity in many parts of the world, but we would not wish it to be read as exclusive of other cultural concepts, contemporary or historical, to express sexuality and gender, intersex and gender-nonconforming identities.
The fifth session of the Salzburg Global LGBT Forum - Home: Safety, Wellness, and Belonging is taking place at Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg. It is being held in partnership with the German Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women & Youth. It is being supported by the Government of Canada. The Forum is a network of expertise through which conversations are facilitated to advance equal rights for LGBT people across the world. You can follow the event on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitter using the hashtag #SGSlgbt. For more information, please visit salzburgglobal.org/go/578.

Medical errors include, but are not limited to, the misdiagnosis and/or mismanagement of an ailment that a patient is afflicted with. As discussed previously on our blog, medical malpractice has been found to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. But did you also know that in a recent survey of more than 6,000 physicians, 96% felt diagnostic errors were preventable?
Medical errors can result in extreme, lifelong preventable injuries in affected patients. Medical malpractice suits can help to reduce the risk of medical error, as the threat of medical malpractice suits motivate hospitals to continually develop plans to improve patient care guidelines.
The information below calls out the basics of medical error, stats about repeat offenders and how to protect yourself through awareness.

Happy Halloween!
So far today, I've dressed Pinterest-y (leggings, boots, lots of layers), went to a flag football game, did some birthday shopping for the Fox, and made an adult beverage for a trick-or-treating after party tonight.
I don't know how these will taste since the jello hasn't set yet, but what I'm trying to make is Apple Cider Fireball Jello Shots. The ingredients:
And the final result (well, not so final since I have yet to taste them).
They smell delicious – like mulled spice cider. Hopefully no one gags or dies when they try them tonight – LOL.
In knitting news, my cowl is coming along nicely. I haven't had much time to work on it, but I'm almost through one skein of yarn. It's actually larger than the picture suggests (I think it looks washcloth-sized here). I knit with size 13 circular needles and chunky yarn so what you're seeing is only half of the piece.
Tomorrow, I tackle the birthday cake of all birthday cakes. I'm even skipping yoga (GASP) to work on it. But you only turn 12 once, and I'm determined to make up for the lame cakes of the last three years. I used to make all kinds of crazy desserts and cakes for the boys. Hopefully, my Pinterest project kicks me back into a love of baking again.
Until tomorrow, kittens. Have a safe and fun Halloween!
xoxo ~dawn

A few months back I often cried myself to sleep, lashed out at loved ones, and simply was irritable and angsty, perhaps that was because of stress (from all the Netflix I've been watching of course) or because I felt chained to the norm. So of course, I messaged my BESTEST friend, HI ARIANA! and she sent me a poem that not only nixed my feeling of isolation and overall sadness but also inspired me to go beyond what I already was, or thought I was.
I was sifting through my notes searching for any previous ideas I had to blog about but instead my blessed soul rediscovered her poem. It resonated pretty deeply with me then, but more so now, so thought I'd share. You are welcome. This one's for the teenager who feels locked and isolated.
maraschino cherry baby smears red lipstick on
the faces of the girls she doesn't love.
she colors outside the lipliner and lets the scarlet sin bleed out.
lips red that stopsign you to slow and listen, to
stare and wait.
artificial blood stains her teeth and she bares them to her unlovers.
maraschino cherry baby with a penchant for blood taken from the source.
blood swells to the surface of their skin when she rips them open with her smile
maraschino cherry baby's eyes flash red
flash flood temper, heed the warnings or
bow and bend to her
they bow and regard her as tragedy, crying
sticky sweet syrup.
don't they know it's for their pleasure? to
appeal to their tastes? to ensnare them?
don't they know she will twist and knot their chains with her tongue?
We love Ariana Garcia.

Discussions about innovation are often made difficult because people are unclear about the exact meanings of some key terms. In particular there is confusion about the difference between creativity, innovation and invention. Let us start with some definitions:
- Invention is the creation of something that has never been made before and is recognised as the product of some unique insight.
- Innovation is the implementation of something new.
- Creativity is the capability or act of conceiving something original or unusual
If you have participated in a brainstorming meeting and dream up dozens of new ideas then you have displayed creativity but with out follow up in terms on delivery then there is no innovation until something gets implemented. Somebody has to take a risk and deliver something for a creative idea to be turned into an innovation. An invention might be a product or device or method that has never existed before. So every invention is an innovation. But every innovation is not an invention. When your company first published its website that was a major innovation for the company even though many other websites already existed, or AppIe Ipad -> Ipad2.
Most tend to think of an innovation in terms of a a new product but this can also be with a new process, method, business model, partnership, route to market or marketing method, Innovation covers a wide latitude of areas to consider. Indeed every aspect of your business operation is a candidate for innovation. Peter Drucker said, 'Every organisation must prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.' So do not restrict your vision of innovation to products. Some of the most powerful innovations you can make are in business methods and customer services. If we look at companies like Dell, eBay and Amazon we see that their great innovations were with their business models rather than in new products. We ourselves help organisations to understand their business model and to think differently about these.
Inovations can be incremental or radical. Every improvement that you make in products or services is an incremental innovation, a step by step layer approach building on the success (or failures) of the previous. Most businesses and most managers are good at incremental innovation. They see problems in the current set-up and they fix them. Radical innovations involve finding an entirely new way to do things. As such they are often risky and difficult to implement. Most larger organisation's are poor at radical innovation, they are risk adverse, they prepare to deal with the current status quo and what is currently their cash cow revenue generating product or service. If you had been making records then you could have introduced incremental innovations in your design and marketing. However if this was your strategy then a radical innovation, CD's, would eventually kill you. The CD manufacturer could similarly introduce various incremental improvements. Once again a radical innovation, music downloads over the internet, would make your offering obsolete, as we see with various retail chains like HMV & Jessops (Camera & Photography). Both have recently ceased trading and or are in court protection / administration. So we need to constantly look for incremental innovations and radical innovations. We need to develop creativity and turn it quickly into innovation.

Owning investment properties is risky, especially without the help of Farmers Branch property management professionals. There are a lot of things involved when you own your own rental properties and act as your own property managers in Farmers Branch. The risky part is for the landlords who aren't very familiar with the local rental real estate market as it opens up the possibility for losing money…significant money. Therefore, save yourself some time, money and stress by hiring the Farmers Branch property management professionals at Specialized Property Management.
Farmers Branch property management offers inexperienced investors the solutions they need to ensure their properties make money. While you may have the time available to provide your own property management in Farmers Branch, you most likely don't have all of the necessary knowledge required…which can be detrimental to your investment business.

Marketing and advertising is just one of the areas professional Farmers Branch property managers can help you with.

Ever been backstage for a fashion show? It's for neither the weak nor the slow. Split-second decision-making skills, a sense of humor, and the ability to work standing up and smiling for grossly long periods of time are prerequisites for anyone who wants to survive back there. Restless nights? Comes with the territory. Sweet delirium? Occupational hazard.
So how does the whole show come together so smoothly? Magic? Hell no. It's the handlers, y'all.
Charleston Fashion Week wouldn't happen without the people who do it all behind the scenes, from meticulously selecting models to auditioning hair and makeup artists. Handlers are the magicians who are at it for months, long before tents are ever raised or the fashions are even decided. They're there to ensure the models are ready to roll.
Take Emma Maybury, a College of Charleston senior and the CFW hair and makeup team backstage coordinator. She's worked with the show for four years running, the last two directly under the leadership of Ashley Brook Perryman, the hair and makeup creative director. Maybury's responsible for getting more than 100 models through hair and makeup on time, every night.
"Ashley has a schedule that she formulates each year for timing the hair and makeup, and it's my job to make sure that we stay on time and have models completed," Maybury says. "I think what most people don't realize is that this job is far more administrative than glamorous or fashion-related. You must know how to create spreadsheets, communicate, and work well under pressure."
Perryman also has Lauren Boyce by her side as the assistant to the hair and makeup director. Boyce is joining CFW for the third year in a row. A stylist at Madewell on King Street, Boyce works closely with everyone from the CFW hair and makeup stylists to the designers to make sure the designers' visions are realized on the catwalk.
"Everybody really steps in to educate each other and really makes each other feel confident about the look that they're doing. So in trainings, we really work hard to build their confidence in their skills so if someone's having cold feet doing a really graphic avant-garde look and someone is better at demonstrating that, they step in to help," she says. "Everyone learns from each other."
During the show, Boyce is backstage with Maybury double-checking that the models' looks are fully developed before they're unleashed onto the runway. When there's a quick change, her role is crucial.
"A quick change is when say a model in the first show is also in the third show, and so she has to be into a new wardrobe and look in 10 minutes," Boyce says. "There are definitely times when there's back-to-back walks, and we have a model for two minutes and we make it happen."
Model coordinator Joe Quinn helps with the quick changes, too. He makes sure those models are immediately undressed, taken to hair and makeup, and redressed in time before the next show begins. A five-year CFW veteran, Quinn's role actually begins in September when he auditions 700 models. Those are narrowed down to the 200 from which the designers will choose their weapons.
"On top of coordinating rehearsals and casting, we work with designers on their selection process," Quinn says. "We have an online model book, so they can log in and see the models, measurements, and pictures, and they put together their selections. Then we go through that and make sure there are no overlaps per night and all that good stuff — so there's about a thousand moving parts just for models. Two hundred models walking in 49 runway shows over the course of four nights, plus a bridal show, so yes, a lot of moving parts."
Originally, Quinn was hired as a two-day intern, but a couple of days was enough to get him hooked on the CFW chaos, and that internship lasted a year and a half before he was named the model coordinator. This year's show is particularly special — it will be his last, since the CofC senior plans to leave Charleston come May graduation. But he's got plenty of backstage moments to take with him.
"One year, one of the designers — a heel broke or something or the model's shoe was too big — so the model was nervous about walking down the runway and that turned into one of my assistants running up to me and saying, 'I need a tampon,'" Quinn says. "This was a guy also, so I'm like, 'Why do you need tampons?' and apparently the designer wanted to put tampons in the shoe. When you think you've heard the most random thing backstage, there's always something more random and more quotable that happens."
A sense of humor comes in handy when the tiredness sets in. "Two years ago we were using so much fake hair and weave, and it was super windy that day, and the doors to the tent wouldn't stay closed," Boyce says, "so we had this massive pile of weave that round itself up in a ball so it was the joke of the week — our tumbleweave. It was literally rolling through the tent past all the models, and we were chasing fake hair everywhere."
For these handlers, it's the moments that leave them smiling that they'll remember. The lack of sleep, stress, and physical demands all disappear when they can watch their hard work unfold right in front of them.
"The most gratifying part of each night is seeing the models all lined up, completely dressed, and in their hair and makeup," Maybury says. "Seeing the designers stare at their models just moments before their show starts has actually made me teary-eyed before, because you can just completely see every aspect of their vision — hair, makeup, models, music, everything — that they explained during creative meetings all come together into a beautiful piece of art."

So today, I'm indulging in another favorite...are we sensing a theme here? A Princess for Christmas follows all the fabulous tropes of our other royal installments - girl who doesn't understand the way royals work, big castle, a ball with a moment where she stops traffic (although in this one, I don't think it's because she … Continue reading #15 A Princess For Christmas
Month: December 2017
#14 A Royal Christmas
Today's installment is a variation on the undercover royal/Christmas bride theme that we experienced during My Christmas Prince. But since this one premiered last year, we'll give the edge to the one with an actual star in it - ta da! Jane Seymour appears as the snobby queen, dueling wits with Lacey Chabert over Prince Leo, played … Continue reading #14 A Royal Christmas
#13 A Royal Christmas Ball
Words cannot express how excited I am to get into this one. From the Ion Channel, as you can see it stars Sharknado star and one of the worst actresses I've ever seen, Tara Reid, and the guy who was on General Hospital back when I watched that show. He hasn't aged that well. We start with B-roll … Continue reading #13 A Royal Christmas Ball
#12 My Christmas Prince
So today, while I wait for the laundry to finish and my kids to get out of school, I'm taking a trip to Lifetime - specifically, their offering this year of My Christmas Prince, not to be confused with A Christmas Prince, and all the other royal movies that are still on my DVR (don't judge). Now, … Continue reading #12 My Christmas Prince
And now for something completely different…

#11 Christmas Inheritance
Netflix is stepping up their game this year!

But we'll see, won't we? Christmas Inheritance stars Eliza … Continue reading #11 Christmas Inheritance
#10 – Miss Christmas
Amazingly enough, these Christmas movies don't just jump out of screenwriters' heads fully formed. Sometimes they are based on books, like today's installment, Miss Christmas, starring some blonde girl and Marc Blucas, forever stamped in my brain as Riley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have not read this novella, so I cannot vouch for how close … Continue reading #10 – Miss Christmas

Approach to "The Biz"
posted by: Mark Duvall on 06/29/2008 @ 10:52 pm
I've been thinking about the ways of the world that is entertainment, probably a bit too much. It's lead me to a few
generalizations…Sometimes its better to know where you're going before you start going there.
In a phrase - to entertain. More specifically to create something (musical in this case) that people want to listen to, identify with
and more importantly purchase. The key to every project is starting with a foundation rooted in thoughtful investigation and research, articulating that which distinguishes a band, artist or concept from the rest. Everyone has something unique to present to the world. Take the time to find out what that is and figure out the best way to
get where you want to go.
Find your inspiration in things that are real to you and do your best to explain it to others. Entertainment is about the interaction with human beings. Explore ways to appeal to others through your artful expression. Sometimes it's less about an artist's or story's history, and instead about a strong desire to bring that which has a unique sound, an interesting twist on a genre or a texture that can make the expression more human. Be able to connect in everything that you do.
Or a least have a picture of what that audience is supposed to look like. The choices you make early on will stick with you for a long time. It's human nature to identify and categorize EVERYTHING, including art, music, and the people standing in line at the bank. You all have to be put in a little box in order to make sense out of everything in the world that gets thrown in front of your eyes. Remember that the song that you just finished writing is not just for you, it's for the world to connect with and identify with [even if the world does that by categorizing and sorting]. Look behind you in order to figure out where you are going.
Careers in the entertainment business are based on your ability to connect with others in a way that is unique and comfortable to you and your audience. If you try to be something you are not [i.e. think too far outside the box] then people will experience a disconnect. That's never a good thing. Your "fans" are looking for something CONSISTENT that they can identify with and share with all of their friends too. Make it easy for them to share something cool with their friends and
you've got something twice as powerful as the basic connection you were trying for in the first place.

Donut Days by Lara Zielin
Krispy Dream donuts is opening a new store in Emma's hometown and she plans to camp out for two days before the opening. Emma needs to get a great story for the local newspaper in order to win a scholarship for the college of her choice. Although her parents have a college fund for her they will only let her use it to attend a Christian college. To add to Emma's stress, her best friend isn't talking to her anymore and her other good friend, Jake, has been absent since he told her he loves her a few months before. Emma's parents are both ministers at their church but they are fighting a battle with the church board to allow Emma's mom to continue to preach. A rich church member had a prophecy that it is against God's will for women to be ministers. Although Emma wants to help her family she feels that she is being left out of the loop by her parents. Now she has to find a story worthy of a scholarship, make up with her good friends, and prove that the "prophecy" was motivated by something other than the will of God.

Stitches by David Small
Illustrator David Small tells about his childhood in graphic novel form. His father was a doctor who performed unnecessary medical tests including many x-rays. When David found a "growth" on his neck at age 10 his parents ignored it for four years because they didn't want to spend the money on a surgery to remove it. When he finally had the surgery the doctors discovered the growth was cancer and David woke up to find that half of his vocal cords were gone leaving him mute. What's more, his parents didn't tell him he'd had cancer until he found it out for himself. This book is a dark memoir of Small's life and his ability to recover from a horrible upbringing.

The Full Spectrum
People under 23 were asked to write their own stories of being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered and send them into a website. The best of these writings were selected and published in this book. The work in this book includes poetry, prose and even a few pictures to capture what it is like to not be straight in a heterosexual world. Some stories are funny while others are heartbreaking.

They began to riot, sweeping through town and beating blacks and rich people. This book tells the story of Claire who is half Irish, half black and finds herself torn between the two sides.

Many small businesses are having a hard time staying open. Businesses today must not only be tough, but also lean. They need to learn to survive with less resources and compete with other businesses that are out for the same customers. However, customers, on the other hand, expect more from businesses. They should be able to provide them the best goods and services at the right price point. So, as a small business, how do you keep with with such demands? Well, one advantage you have today is technology. Technology has always allowed the small players to be competitive and one technology all business should consider is cloud computing.
Cloud computing service for small business makes a lot of sense. For one thing, it takes very little capital and the "pay-as-you-go" models helps free up resources for other important projects. However, is this right for your business? Well, let's take a look at the key considerations business owners should think about before moving to the cloud.
Company Size
Many cloud computing providers are pushing to get into the small and medium sized businesses because these are the types of organizations that can benefit the most from this technology. With cloud computing, even a two-person operation could gain access to technologies that traditionally were only available to large-scale enterprises. Now, the larger the company, then it would be more cost-effective for them to simply have their own networks and systems. However, even large companies can find ways to integrate cloud computing. For example, for companies that have sales people on the road for most of the year, cloud computing could be integrated into their routine to help them speed up the sales cycle.
Integration Costs
Cloud computing providers are always touting how the cloud can save hundreds or thousands of dollars. While that's true when you look at it on a monthly or yearly basis, there are still other costs involved with moving to the cloud, specifically, migration costs. Before you sign over the dotted line, make sure that you ask specifically how much integration is going to cost you, assuming you are moving from a non-cloud system to a cloud system or if you are switching providers. This might make the entire process more expensive, not to mention, if you have to shut down for a time, then this might cost more in terms of opportunity costs.
The last thing you need to consider is support for the cloud computing system. At one point or another, you will find yourself asking some technical questions. You need to consider how urgent it is that you immediately get service, should something go wrong. You should not only ask a cloud computing provider about their up-time guarantees, but also how they answer service calls. Are they available 24/7 and if you call them, will you immediately get a person on the other line? Or will you have to wait during certain hours of the day or week to get help?
These are just some key considerations if you are thinking about moving to cloud-based IT services. There may be other things you need to evaluate, depending on the type of business you have.

Illinois toddler injured by razor blades glued to playground equipment
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
An Illinois playground was bobby-trapped with straight-edged razors glued to equipment frequented by children, WQAD.com reported.
The sharp razors were discovered by parents at Millennium Park in East Moline, near the state's western border with Iowa. The parents say their 2-year-old son was cut by one of the blades on the monkey bars.
"He said, 'Ouch,'" Sally Jenks, the boy's mom, told the station. "He started bleeding and we looked and they [the razors] were everywhere."
Police in the area are collecting the razor blades and other evidence, the report said.
Jenks reportedly said razors were glued to the park's monkey bars, fire pole and the bottom of the slide.
The boy's father told the station that the blades were facing up, so when someone grabbed the bars, a person could hit their wrist or hands.
"It's pretty sick. Psychotic. Luckily, it wasn't deeper. He wasn't old enough to put his weight on the monkey bars," Jason Kenney, the boy's dad, reportedly said. "What if he didn't cut his hand and he slit his wrist?"

Many academic groups are split by the use of social media at conferences. With this blog I would like to alleviate some of the stress for those who are in between the argument as well as for those who are opposed.
I have already blogged about the benefits of social media, so I won't do that here, instead I will show (1) how social media at conferences, using Twitter as an example, can be used effectively.
I will also discuss (2) how social media at conferences can be used 'badly' – causing upset. And, I will outline some ways (3) how conference organisers could prepare their social media before after and at the conference.
To Tweet or Not to Tweet – YES Tweet.
I had a blog outlined with the above title a while ago, but Jacqueline Gill published her blog piece first, Tweeting at conferences in November 2014. Jon Tennant gives a run-down of the issues involved in Tweeting at conferences in his guest blog for the EGU – click here.
We have to remember to be polite. As well as keeping your tweets polite, one must be mindful of people's research. Taking pictures without their direct consent has been going on for a while, for example, people I've spoken to at conferences generally agree that they would take a picture of a presenters slides even before the days of smartphones. These pictures were for personal use and not be published. Taking pictures is easier than making notes with pen and paper. Therefore, it is not polite to take photos of data slides and publish them on social media without the presenters permission.
Your Twitter profile is in the public domain and whilst it is a good reference for your conference notes – it is a public notebook
Remember why you are Tweeting. Are you Tweeting to network, reach out to your research field peers and advertising the event?
I Tweet to reach out to people in my field and I make it quite obvious I want people to use social media to get in contact.
In another way I have taken pictures of other presenters slides to 1) Show people who've missed the conference what is going on, 2) What is about to start so people in concurrent session can follow – and see what they're missing 3) Network and promote. (This Tweet just shows the opening slide: Title of talk; Authors; Institution).
Slides are also a great way to advertise services to others in the field certain services useful to that research community.
Before you Tweet think about: What is public, what is private, and what is sensitive data?
I don't want people to take pictures or Tweet my presentation slides.
Picture this scenario: The researcher has great fresh new data, the conference is next week and the best way to meet researchers to talk about methods and how to interpret the data, and hopefully collaborate. But the researcher is against the clock (as usual) and can only present the raw sensitive data so Tweeting the presentation data is not appropriate.
At the beginning of the talk the presenter says, "Please don't Tweet any part of this presentation".
An avid social media user walks in late to the session because the last concurrent session ran-over. They didn't want to miss this session and Tweet it without realising they shouldn't.
People get upset.
We can all think of ways to avoid this scenario and even the words policy-making have been uttered. Click here for another great blogger.
Feel in control of your presentation:
There are easy counter-measures we can make, without resorting to official policy-making so we can all be made to feel more in control of our presentation.
- Assume everyone is going to Tweet your presentation – every part of it. (You'd be so lucky if your presentation were that interesting!)
- Say at the beginning of your presentation that you have data/results which are sensitive
- "Please, No Social Media" Say this, but indicate specifically, which of your slides you do not want Tweeted. Put a symbol up. That way people can see you don't want your stuff putting on the web
We are in a world of social media. We are in an age where we connect online. Future generations of researchers are going to have to learn now how to conduct themselves at conferences with our help.
Conference Organisers – do your bit.
There is a lot of advice for conference organisers on how to include social media at conferences, and whilst some of it is quite 'involved' and high-tech, with 'Twitterfall' screens and inviting professional social media bunnies to hop around but there are some simpler measures:
- Get your hashtag out as early as possible. Delegates and wanna-be delegates will want to talk about the conference as early as possible on lots of different social media platforms.
- Make sure your hashtag is short and simple and can carry on to the next meeting. the 'Eighth Conference of Awesome Researchers 2015' #CAR2015, #8CAR
- Do a quick search to see if your hashtag isn't already taken by another event.
- Also, some conferences over-lap, so if you are all Victorian Historians academics, why not every meeting that year have the same hashtag, #VHC2015 – you'd be on in different weeks and using the same hashtag 'cross-pollinating'. It's normal to have more than one hashtag; one for meeting #VHC2015 another for subject #VictorianHistory (usage at the conference depends on what you're Tweeting about)
- Talk about social media. You can't ignore it in the hope it'll go away. Ask the accepted speakers and poster makers when they present at the meeting to indicate clearly if there is sensitive material they do not want featured on social media. This includes poster presentations.
- Banning social media from conferences is not the answer. People have worked hard and not everyone has sensitive research or even want to Tweet about research, it should be OK to Tweet about the trip to the Darwin museum or fossil hunting.
- Organise a workshop on social media for researchers to discuss what it means to them.
- Put it on your agenda. Ask someone who uses social media to come along to the AGM and discuss the society's view on using social media at conferences but also for outreach and advertising.
If conference organisers did their bit to support delegates and address the problems and pitfalls, everyone would be the wiser. Overall it's all our responsibility to be polite and think about what we do at the conferences. Put Social Media On The Agenda.

Big Bad Wolves
Some good friends of ours are making a film called Big Bad Wolves.
It is about a group of girls who turn into a vigilante gang because of a sexual assault on one of them.
So it is a serious topic, but it also a fun film about young people growing up in NYC.
The team is starting with a short film that kicks off the story and will use that short film to introduce the four young women who are at the heart of this story and to build support and audience for the larger feature they plan to make over the next year or two.
When our friends approached us about helping them make this short film, we both said "Do A Kickstarter!" and so that is what they did.
Here's the Kickstarter "trailer" for it:
If you would like to join us in supporting this film, you can back it on Kickstarter.

Team vs time machine
Having just started writing my chapter on building your team around you, I was sat at my desk trying to find a good analogy to use and an image of a time machine popped into my head. Wowser! What a revelation!
As a micro business owner wouldn't it be wonderful if you owned a time machine? You could work for a client all day and then go back and do it all over again for another client, then again, and again, until your productivity and earning potential reached your wildest dreams? You would be exhausted of course, and nothing much else would be happening in your life, but your bank balance would look extremely healthy.
Or, you could build a team around you that would effectively do the same thing with a lot less effort from you. In a way your team is your time machine. Taking the time and making the effort to effectively recruit new team members will reap the same rewards.
Sounds good doesn't it? Your very own time machine without all of the travelling backwards and forwards in time stuff. You would be a Thousandaire in no time at all!
Assuming you don't want to time travel that is?

The finest place to purchase filth low cost vehicles just isn't through the labeled ads, not through the Internet, not via a personal seller, and not by way of a used automobile dealership. People who're shopping for discount-priced new automobiles are most likely ready for these kinds of constraints, but the sheer Spartan qualities of most low value cars could be a deterrent. The turbocharged 1.four-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine wasn't buzzing a livid, droning tone, as it had greater than sufficient oomph to easily maintain an illegal cruising pace. Independent Used-Car Dealers – Independent used automobile tons are a possible source of reasonably priced low cost cars. There has by no means been a time in historical past that may match the joy of automobiles during the fifties.
The rear seats are distinctive, capable of be configured in a lot of methods to permit for cargo storage of all styles and sizes. It's one of the slowest vehicles on this group, and the Prius C is not much enjoyable on a superb street. Price for 2015 mannequin; pricing unavailble for 2016 model, seen above, which will likely be on sale this summer. Smaller vehicles merely have less room for the forms of amenities that jack up sticker costs.
Or oyu know, as an alternative of buying dreadful little equipment automobiles that depreciate like loopy, you could possibly study to work on older cars and buy one thing you actually enjoy. Ford will add 850 hourly jobs to the payroll at their Dearborn truck plant to help construct the new F-a hundred and fifty, which fits on sale soon and, frankly, Ford doesn't want to screw up. Toyota started building the first Celica in 1970, however the automobiles that may attraction to the younger potential purchaser are models of the sixth (1993-1999) and seventh (1999-2006) generations.
Another cheap used automobiles source worth mentioning are Estate and Bankruptcy Auctions. But sure, given their issues, I assume you're right to make these cars an Honorable Mention. Torque peaks at 103 foot-pounds at four,000 rpm, and engine sounds might get a bit raucous when the car was onerous pressed to speed up up mountain roads. When these are 2 of the primary 3 cars which can be speculated to make you look rich, it is time to skip the rest of the article!
For 2016 Corolla options the Entune Audio system which features a 6.1 in. touch-screen display, AM/FM CD participant, six speakers, auxiliary audio jack, a USB 2.zero port with iPod connectivity and control, superior voice recognition, arms-free cellphone capability, phone e-book access, music streaming by way of Bluetooth and Siri Eyes Free. They value about the identical as a used mercedes, which 99{95d53d652456015e5acb8fa755f429ac727d3a76b00acfc0b95018e361ea0991} of college college students would quite purchase instead of these cars. Any of the vehicles on this list would not maintain their occupants secure in the event of a extreme head on crash with a larger vehicle.

Every day children are injured in childcare. A daycare owner has an obligation to protect the children in daycare. For children, injuries have replaced infectious diseases as the leading health problem. Falls are the most common injury, but there are others: burns, bites, cuts, scrapes and bruises. Kids under the age of 5 at day care centers are more likely to be hospitalized due to falls.
Outside of a child's limited and developing cognitive and physical skills, low supervision contributes to child injuries. Some involve a level of negligence because the accident was preventable.
How can injuries be prevented in daycare?
- Ask how medications are managed. Learn what type of labeling system is used to prevent medications being switched or doses being altered.
- Learn about the daycare's accident report forms. There should be a policy and procedure for individual injuries.
- Background checks! Not all states require background checks or specific training for child care workers. Child care centers may be open and fully operational, but that is not a true measure of adherence to or compliance with safety requirements.
- The ratio of caregivers to children. Lower ratios mean more supervision and less risk for injury. Close supervision contributes directly to reduced events of injury. Keeping the child in view is still a necessary component in the child day care setting.
- Licenses. Make sure the facility has met all legal requirements.
- Education. Learn about the background of each child care provider and whether the staff is required to attend annual continuing education courses.
- Food allergies. Inspect the kitchen or snack prep area to see how foods are organized. Ask how they accommodate children with peanut, gluten, dairy and other food allergies.
- Immunizations. Learn about the filing system the daycare system uses to keep track of which children are due for physical exams and immunizations.
- First aid. Most childcare providers are trained in Basic First Aid. Learn about the qualifications of the staff, where the first aid kit is stored and what the daycare center's plan is in case of an injury or other emergency.
- Visit on the busiest day. Find out when the daycare is at maximum capacity and stop in to see how the staff handles the children.

People's United Bank has donated one 3 D printer to each of three Manchester schools for the purpose of enhancing STEAM education. Webster, Parkside and McLaughlin will use the printers for projects that integrate science, technology, engineering, arts and math into everyday learning. The donation is valued at ten thousand dollars.
To showcase the printer, Parkside is hosting an innovation and design contest. Students were invited to submit ideas for a new or improved product that could be created with the new MakerBot Replicator+. Entries so far range from a medical alert bracelet, to a cup holder extender, to a car with peddles. The contest ends on April 17th.
Students will share what they've learned with bank President Dianne Mercier and others during a showcase of their work tomorrow at one thirty as part of an official thank you to People's for its generous donation. In a statement issued by the district, Superintendent Dr. Bolgen Vargas said the district welcomes every opportunity to partner with the business community, saying the district very much appreciated the donation. Said Vargas, quote
"We can do so much more by working together."
Speaking of Vargas, he had something of a rough ride at last night's meeting of the Special Committee on Redistricting as his redistricting plan came under fire. The primary point of contention was the continued division of fifth graders from Beech Street School as they head to the sixth grade. Former Beech Street Principal Ellie Murphy said it wasn't fair to divide the kids between McLaughlin and Southside as they entered middle school and then pull them back to Central as they go to high school, away from their friends who would mostly head to Memorial. She also said that a late bus enabling kids to participate in extracurricular activities wasn't a sufficient answer to the distance between the Beech Street community and McLaughlin, in particular. She said families that lack transportation would remain unable to access the school for evening or other events. She backed a proposal by at-Large Committee Member Rich Girard which sends all of Beech Street's fifth graders to Hillside for middle school.
A young lady from Lake Ave., whose name I did could make out, opposed sending Beech Street kids to Hillside saying they were safer riding a bus to McLaughlin than potentially walking to Hillside.
Parents weighed in, too. Patrice Benard, whose child goes to Green Acres and would not be affected by any redistricting, said she came to the meeting to protest Ward Ten Committee Member John Avard's condemnation of Vargas for modifying his recommendations after listening to parents. Benard said parental input should always be considered in matters that will affect the kids.
Katherine Sweet, whose children go to Bakersville, thanked Vargas for keeping the school's alignment with Southside and Memorial.
Hallsville parent Dan Juneau complained that Bakersville got what it wanted only because it had more parents protesting on its behalf and Hallsville was being ignored because it didn't have as many complainers.
South End parent Michele Wood hammered the committee toward the end of the meeting, when the public was again asked for its input, saying it didn't seem like anybody wanted to actually do a redistricting, citing the committee's reticence to make a decision about the way forward. She seemed to support Vargas' plan saying that following the discussion from the crowd was really very difficult.
"How did we get from redistricting to discussing maybe closing a middle school? She asked.
Good question. That idea was broached by Avard, who said he was intrigued by a suggestion made to him by Ward Eight Committee Member Erika Connors to close McLaughlin as a middle school and turn it into a pre-school. Vargas vigorously opposed the idea, saying the district really needed to come up with a plan to address its programmatic needs. He also said it would be extremely difficult for the board to do what it and parents throughout the district have been clamoring for and that is restore foreign languages, reduce class sizes and add health classes to the middle schools.
In the end, the committee kind of punted, sending Vargas' proposed feeder pattern, the alternative proposed by Girard and a new one proposed in the motion by redistricting committee Chair Leslie Want that would send all of Beech Street's kids to McLaughlin, to the special meeting of the Board of School Committee on April 19th.
Avard, who had to leave before the vote due to a family obligation, said he would vote no on everything, believing the timing wasn't right to make any changes and that more data, such as from the pending facilities study, was necessary.
News from our own backyard continues after this.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That seems to be the lesson in Merrimack, where voters finally gave approval to a more than three million dollar bond to would renovate the existing public works garage alongside construction of a new facility that town officials have repeatedly asked voters to support. The bond passed on a vote of 1, 1 3 3 to 4 6 2, narrowly surpassing the three fifth's threshold required to issue the bond. Yesterday's election also saw town councilors Bill Boyd and Finlay Rothhaus reelected. Former Merrimack Police Captain Peter Albert topped the ticket for Town Council in his first bid for office. None of the candidates were opposed. Naomi Schoenfeld and Cinda Guagliumi were elected to the school board in uncontested races as well.
The Goffstown Public Works Department announced it has lifted the posted road weight limits in town, with the exception of Worthley Hill Road, where the limits will remain in force until further notice.
It's a good thing they've lifted those limits, too, as the Goffstown Police Department is expecting tons of unwanted, unused and expired prescription drugs to come through its doors on Saturday, April 29th , 2017 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., as a result of their participation in the thirteenth Drug Take Back Day. Residents may drop off expired, unused, or unwanted controlled substances. All you have to do is bring your expired, unused or unwanted prescriptions to Goffstown Police H Q Mast Rd. They will do the rest. Note: NO needles or liquids can be accepted. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
As this is a national thing, we expect other departments will be making similar announcement soon.
Reminder, there's a drug drop box available to the public twenty four seven in the lobby of the Manchester Police Department.
That's NEWS from our own backyard! Girard at Large hour ___ is next.
