Working Mother Media
For Carol Evans, President, Working Mother Media, diversification has been a consistent strategy inherent in building a growing franchise around a single title.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and it seems that in our industry's case, necessity has prompted many magazine publishers—faced with declining ad revenues and other financial hardships, or simply greater competition in the marketplace—to be increasingly inventive in their approaches to publishing and the partnerships they are mustering up.
Elle.com and Working Mother magazine announce major partnerships.
"Magazine publishing, more than many other fields, has long been a great career for women …," says Patricia B. Fox, senior vice president, operations, and general manager, Healthy Living Group at Active Interest Media. Fox, along with the other women Publishing Executive selected for its first-annual "Top Women in Magazine Publishing" feature, exemplify the greatness that women have achieved in this industry.
Another year-end report on the mergers and acquisitions market of consumer magazines showed a sharp downward spike in both the number and value of deals in this segment in 2008.
Since founding Working Mother Media (WMM) in 2001, CEO Carol Evans has helped to grow Working Mother magazine into a multimedia enterprise. Fueled by the success of its ground-breaking "100 Best Companies" feature, which Evans launched in 1986, the company now includes a research arm, a growing events/conference business and a member organization dedicated to diversity and cultural change in corporate America. WMM's largest event, the 2007 Best Companies for Multicultural Women National Conference, was held earlier this week in New York City and drew over 700 professional women to discuss issues of gender and race in the workforce. Evans took a break from

The New York-based startup company, launched in 2001, recently inked Hearst Magazines, Education World and Future US, in addition to The Associated Press and Washington Post Express.

PCA Awarded a 2019 National Association for Gifted Children Honor by NAGC's Professional Learning Network
PCA is piloting a gifted education program under the direction of the school's academic director, Kim Stephenson. This new initiative is designed to reach and challenge students who need more from the classroom to expand differentiated learning to students. Under Kim's direction, this program was recently awarded the 2019 Professional Development Network Award by the National Association for Gifted Children's Professional Learning Network.
Kim, a gifted advocate, has been instrumental in bringing differentiation and creative problem-solving strategies to PCA since moving out of the classroom as a teacher and into a critical administrative role. Since 2016, she's worked to educate stakeholders, and faculty members on how to identify traits, aptitudes, and behaviors of gifted students. She teaches three levels of gifted education classes for students in lower and upper elementary as well as middle school levels during the school day.
In addition to accepting the award at the annual National Association for Gifted Children's Conference in New Mexico later this year, Kim will present to teachers from across the country in partnership with the University of Alabama on Supporting Pre-Service Gifted Teachers and Gifted Students in Quality Summer Programs, to Alabama gifted teachers on Sparking Creativity with Design Thinking at the state conference, and will be featured in an upcoming National Association for Gifted Children's publication on how she was able to plan and implement professional development of PCA's piloted gifted program.
Kim Stephenson is a state-certified gifted and special education teacher in grades K-12, but currently leads PCA's academic initiatives in the areas of curriculum, educational initiatives, alignment of accreditation standards, and faculty professional development. She earned a bachelor's degree in Biology, a master's degree in Elementary Education, an Ed.S in Elementary Education, a master's level special education certification in gifted education from the University of Alabama, and is currently finalizing Ph.D. studies in the area of giftedness/creativity. She also teaches gifted students across the nation via online courses through Duke University and currently serves in the state advocacy role of Vice-President of the Alabama Association for Gifted Children Board.
In addition to a gifted education program, PCA also offers a resource program so that students of all abilities can learn in an environment best suited for individual skills and abilities. PCA's Resource Center provides academic support to students outside of the regular classroom during the school day to reduce the time students spend tutoring outside of school hours.

27 years outdoors haven't been easy on WR963 and she shows her age in several areas. Although there have been several repaints, there are areas of corrosion on the lower wing skins, inner landing gear door valences and in the bomb bay floor. These will be addressed to keep them from getting worse, but a deeper check will be needed at some point in the near future - which will mean a complete paint strip.
Other airframe projects currently being carried out include the replacement of damaged or defective engine cowling panels, work to restore the bomb doors to full length, and continuing efforts battling against seized fasteners to get each and every access panel on the aircraft opened up.
Each of the Rolls Royce Griffon 58 engines puts out 2,450hp from its 37 litre capacity, with two 13 foot diameter DeHavilland contra rotating propellers soaking it all up. They took quite a bit of fettling to keep them sweet, with three engined landings a common occurence towards the end of service.
The engines fitted to WR963 are not those that will be used for flying, but they are sutable for ground use (unless completely rebuilt) and this is the same for the propellers. New items are in store awaiting the time they will be needed for flight.
Ongoing projects with the engines include replacement of the booster coil units which have been prone to failing recently, the cleaning of all the oil filters, chasing a false crankcase pressure warning, and the tracking down of some minor oil leaks on No 1 engine.
As you would expect, there are quite complex hydraulic and pneumatic systems on the Shackleton, both being revised several times during service to try and improve things, and delete unneccessay equipment. WR963 was no exception and both systems continue to be a weak spot.
The hydraulics run off pumps driven from the accessory gearboxes of No 3 and No 4 engine but there is no system pressure gauge! Unless you have a know problem or a visible leak, the only 'test' of sorts is to try the windscreen wipers - believe it or not!
The pneumatics are spilt into two sides, with compressors driven off each of the inboard engines. Each side feeds into two storage bottles in the nose, which then feed each system as required - with brakes taking the lions share.
Ongoing projects with systems has been the complete overhaul of both hydraulic pumps and all electro hydraulic selectors, with functional tests being carried out soon. Next up will be the pnuematics as two brand new compressors have been purchased and the pipework and valves will be leak tested and renewed as required.
The radio equipment carried by Shackleton could easily cover several pages... in fact to make a point better, it covers several books within the manuals that make up the Air Publications to service and maintain Shackletons. Starting out with the T1154 and R1155 sets as found in Lancaster and Halifax, it was continually upgraded and several of the last aircraft in service in 1991 were just starting to get the PTR 1751 V/UHF equipment.
WR963 didn't receive those, being stuck with the earlier and outdated PTR 175, as well as a couple of Collins 618T sets. Add to this some 'borrowing' of items to contunue WL790's flying career, and a couple of bits that helped a poorly Dakota; it was an easy to reach conclusion that a new radio set was going to be needed in the Shackleton if ever we would want to talk to the world outside again.
A complete working PTR 1751 set was obatained, and another built up from parts into a test rig. With a little help from some old friends that used to work on VP293 "Zebedee" at Farnborough, the radio was installed.
Work in this area is now concentrating on repairing a damaged intercom amplifier, and chasing a false ground on one of the 'Push to Talk' circuits which is triggering a permanent transmit mode. There is a slight irony, in that for 25 years WR963 could listen but not talk, yet now she won't shut up...

By David Joel Miller, MS, Licensed Therapist & Licensed Counselor.
Not everyone learns things the same way.
Therapy is often conducted as if everyone learned in one way and only one way. In traditional therapy, we copy Freud, the client talks and the therapist listens. Eventually, the client says something and then hearing their own voice they have this insight moment and suddenly they know what is wrong and what to do.
If only it was that simple. Sometimes just talking does not help everyone.
Several other methods of counseling have been developed to help those who learn or communicate best in another way. Unfortunately, those other styles of therapy do not always get the respect they deserve.
The three learning styles and therapy.
Some people are good at learning by listening to verbal directions. Verbal learns can reach decisions from listening to themselves talk things out. Some people learn best by seeing things, they are visual learners. Some people need to be guided through the motions to learn. We call that kinesthetic learning. Some people learn best by a combination of methods.
While talk therapy may work well for verbal learners it is not always equally helpful if you have a different learning style.
Some people can't find the words.
What if you can't find the words to describe how you feel? There are a variety of reasons why someone would not be able to communicate about their experiences or feelings in words.
Young children may have been the victims of abuse or neglect; they may have grief or loss that is troubling them. What they do not have is the words to talk about those problems. That does not imply that a nonverbal person is not troubled by their problems.
People with a disorder on the autism spectrum may not be adept at verbal communication. Those who dissociate or are disconnected from their feelings have the same issue.
One method of working on those issues is to employ art therapy. Art therapy does not mean the therapist and the client sit around and color or draw pictures. There is a reason for the art and it is therapeutic. The child who could not explain something bad that has happened to them can often draw a picture of that experience or of the feeling that event created. Once the picture has been drawn they can begin to describe the things they pictured. Amazing insights can develop as a result of using visual methods to supplement the client's vocabulary.
Sometimes you can express yourself best by moving.
kinesthetic learners need to move and feel the situation. One technique that I have used in a group setting is to have a client who is unable to describe how they feel about their family create a "family sculpture." They make up a list of family members which we display on a whiteboard. Then other clients are asked to play the roles of those family members and positioned around the room. The client tells each "family member" where to stand.
The group then asks the client why each person is standing where they are. Clients discover that they always felt that one person was closer to them than another or that two family members stay apart from the rest and excluded them. This becomes a topic to talk about and sometimes exercises to do at home to improve relationships with those family members they saw as distant from them.
Other clients may find dance therapy or physical activity to be helpful in learning to understand and regulate their behavior.
Why other therapies?
The intent here is not just to engage in fun activities with clients as therapeutic as that can be, but to help the client to grasp their thinking, feeling and behavioral issues in a way that fits their essential learning style.
To apply these alternative therapeutic modalities the clinical counselor needs to be trained in assessment and diagnosis of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.

Two books that I find especially helpful in working with young children or less verbal adults are:

The Healing Power of Play: Working with Abused Children by Eliana Gill

Planning consent has recently been granted for the largest luxury new home to be built in Brighton since the Regency era.
Spanning in excess of 10,500 square feet, this delightful residence offers everything one would expect from a landmark building, which has been designed with grandeur to match that of similar development types in salubrious areas such as St Georges Hill and Virginia Waters in Surrey, and Sandbanks in Dorset.
This prestigious family home, named 'Top Of The Hill' directly overlooks the exclusive East Brighton Golf Course to the rear, whilst to the front, south facing views of Brighton Marina and the English Channel can be enjoyed.
The architecture is unique but it was taken from marine architecture as well as the Art Deco movement.
Located in the most sought after Crescent in Brighton, famous for its unrivalled views across the city, 'Top Of The Hill' is a luxury ambassadorial family residence where no stone has been left unturned in the complete design process.
Indeed, the crowning glory of this stunning luxury new home is the penthouse suite which in addition to having its own lounge/study, also features 'his and hers' walk-in wardrobes as well as two en-suite bathrooms.
A glass atrium ceiling to the penthouse offers enjoyment of the night sky, whilst the discerning residents will also reap the rewards of multi-dimensional and far reaching views across the golf course; and areas of outstanding beauty along with West Sussex countryside to the rear. To the south and the west, the Marina, the English Channel and views across this vibrant city can be experienced.
'Top Of The Hill' is entered via grand processional steps, which lead to the residence's two and a half storey marbled and glazed atrium.
The generously proportioned entrance hall provides direct views through the building towards the first of three gardens to the rear; as well as the leisure complex with its pool, gym, Jacuzzi, tropicarium and steam room.
The central courtyard garden which links all of the ground floor living spaces creates perfect entertaining room, whilst the other two gardens feature manicured lawn areas, with an orchard and kitchen garden.
A remarkable master suite is situated on the first floor along with additional family bedrooms, and a self-contained guest annex to the lower floor complete with its own entrance and views directly onto the garden.
All floors are linked via a central lift and a contemporary staircase to the rear of the building, whilst the cinema room is to be found on the lower level, with games room complete with its own south facing private terrace.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Believe it or not, Rihanna isn't far removed from being just like you or me — especially when it comes to fanning out during a Jay-Z concert.
On Thursday night (Dec. 21), the bad gal was spotted out and about in Los Angeles to attend the last tour stop for Hov's critically-acclaimed album 4:44. While the likes of Beyoncé, DJ Clark Kent, Big Sean, Lebron James and more have supported the tour so far, Rih's experience at the concert is by far the most memorable.
Over the course of the night, RiRi shared a few highlights from the show via Snapchat. But, perhaps the most relatable moment involves the ANTI singer flawlessly rapping the opening verse of The Black Album staple "Public Service Announcement while fittingly donning an all-black ensemble (of course).
Not to mention, her Snapchat skills are A1, which only proves just how much the Bajan beauty is like the rest of us.
Take a look the LOL-worthy moment below.

Goodbye Colonialism, Farewell Feudalism: Letters from a District Officer, Barotseland 1959-1962, by Callum Christie
I greatly enjoyed reading your book, and have been stimulated by it, not just because of my personal connections – with you and also with Zambia – but because it has been so well conceived as a book. Your persona, as writer – of letters home in your early twenties and, now, of a commentary for the 2016 reader – is personal and yet unobtrusive. Your ego never gets in the way of the account of what you did and what you saw and what you thought. That's a remarkable achievement. Your maturity and sanity as a young man in his early twenties is truly amazing.
I also like the structure: the way you have presented your letters, the unfolding narrative of the raw recruit to accomplished young administrator as the place [Senanga / Barotseland] experiences profound change and political upheaval, fulfilling the title of the book. The commentary and the footnotes are economical and to the point. They endorse the historical thrust of the book, so it is less of a memoir of yourself and more objective of the time and place in which you found yourself.
Reading the book, I found myself, as your reader, in complete agreement with your assessment of the whites, their racism and their determination to keep control. I think you have nuanced very well – in your youthful letters – the white neurotic racism of both younger and older Rhodesians. It was exactly thus.
I was particularly engrossed in the account of your work in Kasama, Mongu and Senanga in 1961 and 1962, when the Independence struggle intensified and you became involved in an extraordinarily interesting way. Your honesty in maintaining public order, as was your bounden duty, with soldiers and colleagues whose behaviour appalled you, captures very well the moral quagmire of the UNIP independence struggle, and the uncertainties of village Africans in the face of – for them – an obscurely changing political order. I also marvelled at the physical strain of it all: the night marches, dawn raids on villages – the dangers of the actual terrain – and having to prosecute actions and a defence you were not in agreement with.
Indeed I was staggered, earlier in the book, at your long treks, from village to village, in Senanga, the long hours of work in the bush coupled with the problems of the climate. For me, as the 2016 reader of your lighthearted and optimistic letters to your parents and [your girlfriend], I personally experienced the hard reality of what you actually endured, only because I know [about] the heat and dust and flies and mosquitos, lack of potable water, etc., etc.
Your account of hunting and shooting gives a much better insight for the reader today of that bush world of the British colonial administration. I enjoyed particularly the account of your nighttime crocodile hunt [p.190 et seq.].
Thank you, Callum, for such a stimulating read.
Book Review from Andrew Gordon, former executive, Anglo American Corporation, Lusaka, Melbourne and London.
"Goodbye Colonialism, Farewell Feudalism:Letters from a District Officer, Barotseland 1959-62"
By Callum Christie
This is a remarkable and attractive book. Posted from university to Barotseland (the far west of modern Zambia), Callum Christie recorded, in letters to his parents and friends, a vivid description of the life of a district officer in the final days of colonial administration. The letters are book-ended with a clear explanation of the political and social context of 1959-62, which was far from simple, and of subsequent resulting events. The book is illustrated with colour photographs of remarkable quality, based as they are on the technology of another age.
Colonial memoir is a far from unoccupied field, but this book is distinctive for three reasons.
First, these are good letters and one can see why they were treasured by the recipients. And for us, they have the immediacy, truth and freshness that you do not find in the memoir penned in retirement. The reader is effectively 'in the picture' and shares the adventure and the experience.
Second, the viewpoint. Mr Christie left for Northern Rhodesia well briefed with the latest academic and government thinking on the future of colonial Africa and the new relationships that would have to be built, yet his work was to be among colleagues for many of whom these ideas were seen as a betrayal. The author's moral and political position remains clear, but he succeeds in handling the awkward situation with insight and skill.
Third, the location. Barotseland, originally 'acquired' by Cecil Rhodes with promise of protection by the 'Great White Queen', was now a well-administered, peaceful province in an area surrounded by trouble: a sleepy and corrupt Portugal awaiting its hour to the west, a Congo about to go up in flames to the north, rising political consciousness and dissatisfaction in the Copperbelt to the east and embarrassingly assertive white supremacy to the south. Barotseland remained a traditional feudal society, no doubt beyond its time and no doubt at some cost to the British taxpayer, but peaceful, though uncomfortable with the new political movements of Northern Rhodesia. The precarious situation of the traditional rulers and their subjects is well brought out in the letters.
The book makes no political point beyond the opinions expressed by the young official in his letters at the time. Yet it does summon up thoughts as to how we collectively remember the past. Modern teaching on the colonial period is dominated by the collisions, the unfortunate incidents and latterly the agonies of post-war change. We forget that all over the Empire and over many years there were conscientious administrators, well-trained and fair-minded, maintaining peace, the rule of law and civic virtue among people who were generally acquiescent, as is evident from the tiny number of staff required. Mr Christie's book places us in that relatively ordered world.
The system had its shortcomings, of course, but one does feel, reading this book, that the underlying values transmitted by colonial staff (grown from our nation's character and its philosophers) were generally good for the world and that the record compares not unfavourably with that of other European powers of the period. It is a theme which could perhaps , at this distance, be given a more balanced exposure, perhaps in a series of African stories on television, for which this book would be one of many available sources.
Callum Christie has given us an authentic picture of a niche of old Africa confronting change, if not with reluctance, certainly with mixed feelings. In his book we hear the quiet voices formerly shouted down by the rhetoric of liberation. Many will be grateful to him for that.
Review by Pamela Shurmer-Smith in The Overseas Pensioner; Social Anthropologist, author of "Remnants of Empire: Memory and and Northern Rhodesia's White Diaspora".
By Callum Christie
I am an avid collector of memoirs written by people of all backgrounds who lived in Northern Rhodesia as it made the transition into independent Zambia, but know to read them with caution, recognising that (by definition) they rely on memory, that distorting lens though which the present surveys the past.
Contemporary personal writing in the form of diaries and letters is a close cousin of the memoir; it retains all the same subjectivity, with a single "I"at the core, but has a different flavour. Whereas a conventional colonial memoir is the story of a young hero written by an elderly person, contemporary writing comes from the standpoint of a young person in a present that is now past; the concerns of the time come through more immediately, the anxieties and frailties are more likely to be represented. Memoirists inevitably believe that there is something interesting and exceptional about their lives (why would they bother to write if this were not the case?) but contemporary writing, particularly in the form of letters, is more often prompted by closer and more personal imperatives. A District Officer in his twenties may well write a weekly letter to his parents in Britain out of duty, knowing that they are worried about him, miss him and have no real idea what he is going through, but he may also write to them as the only people he can trust with his loneliness and frailty. It is no wonder that parents preserve these letters or that they come to light when the young men grown old inherit forgotten remnants, reappraise their significance and offer them up to a wider public. Such letters communicate the lived experience of Empire with undiminished freshness and immediacy – Callum Christie's new book is a valuable addition to this genre.
Most of the candidates selected for Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service in the late 1950s were a new breed and did not inevitably fit the stereotype of the colonial officer who insisted on dressing for dinner, even when it was taken alone outside his tent. They were, rather, men who had been let in on the "secret" that the days of Empire were numbered and their task was to try to ensure that the great transition was brought about satisfactorily. The emphasis was on "development", even though what this might consist of was often left rather vague. A degree in economics came to be seen as more valuable than one in classics as an indicator of the right material and the service was no longer the exclusive preserve of men with a public school background. Callum Christie was one of these new men, arriving aged 23 in (then) Northern Rhodesia in 1959 with an Economics degree from the University of Aberdeen. He wrote regularly to his parents and two friends. Fortunately, these were all people who were interested in his work as his letters are full of the minutiae of life in Barotseland and the unfolding political situation as Federation becomes increasingly unworkable and Zambia edges towards Independence.
Christie is acutely aware of the tensions within Central African society, describing the ingrained racism of many whites raised in Africa, including the Rhodesian born District Commissioner who would not shake hands with Africans out of deep revulsion, the old pioneer who railed against Africans but took six local wives and was revered as a benevolent father. He writes about the unthinking racism that made many Europeans comment unfavourably about his inviting African people into his home, about the survey conducted at the Mongu Club to decide the circumstances under which Africans might be admitted (and the decision that there were none). Like most members of the Provincial Administration, Christie saw Federation as a retrogressive move and he sympathised with Zambian opposition to it, charting the movement towards Independence but also the blindness of both European settler and Barotse royalty to its inevitability. His comments are often wonderfully perceptive and irreverent about both establishments, recognising that Barotse feudalism had no more chance of survival in the modern world than British imperialism. Whilst others believed that traditional Barotse royal accommodation to British rule would provide a bulwark against African nationalism, Christie understood the aspirations of the emerging class of young educated African men who rejected the inherent conservatism of the Barotse ruling class and were drawn towards UNIP, but he also recognised that Barotse nationalism was (and is) a potent force within Zambian nationalism.
Where this book differs from many others based on contemporary writing is that he intersperses explanatory passages, filling in background and expanding things that were not covered in detail in the letters themselves. This means that when hindsight lends a new interpretation to events it is clear that this is the view from the present. This device highlights the shifts in language, attitudes and assumptions that have occurred over the past fifty-odd years and forms a sort of dialogue between the past and the present, the young man and the old one. The very last paragraph recounts the Zambian attempt to defuse Barotse nationalism by renaming Barotseland the Western Province. Drawing on his own nationality he says, "As a Scot, I could have told President Kaunda and his Government that this would have a contrary effect. Try telling the Scots that from now on Scotland is to be renamed the Northern Province of Great Britain." (p.302)
In the Introduction to the book Christie recounts his impressions of Barotseland when he revisited in 2012. Unlike those who return to find fault and to discover what has declined, he is delighted at the improvements – new schools, better roads, more bridges, a decent bus service, mobile phones. Now nearly 80, he is clearly still someone who is on the side of progress rather than tradition. Considerable responsibility was given to very young men in the PA and it is easy to forget that Callum Christie was just 23 to 26 when he wrote the letters that form the basis of this book, covering his first tour from 1959 to 1962.

Turn array functions into VBA code to be able to handle larger database later on
Budget $10-30 USD
I have a dataset with a "Sheet1" that is a summary tab that pulls information from the previous two tabs for a given State you pick from a drop down.
I need to transform the array functions that pull information from the "Network" tab and spread out across rows (since there are numerous network entries per state) into VBA code because when I run the spreadsheet with more entries I get an error message saying "excel has run out of resources." To prevent this I want to have the VBA code instead of the array functions.

I'm writing to ask for Sebastien's and everyone's advice/suggestions on places to look for the ellusive Auto-Up for the GL690/GM670 (I know from RFF where I'm a member, that Sebastien's made some striking portraits using his) and the perhaps only slightly less hard to find 180mm lens for the GL690.
I realize I should keep watching e-bay and keh.com (and reading Walter's info has helped) but I thought I'd check to see if anyone here has any tips.
Thanks in advance for your help and all the best to everyone,

The Judgement Seat of Christ
The Father has appointed Christ to be judge of all the world, the living and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1). What does this teach us about the righteousness and justice of God? How should it affect our evangelism? Though the salvation of believers is secure, will they also be judged? Are there levels of reward in heaven and levels of judgment in hell? What impact should this have on our attitude to godly living?

Deliberate mistake: When Cristal and Zach's limo pulls up in front of the Club Cheetah, the Stardust is prominently displayed in the background at a close distance to the club. In reality, the Cheetah is a popular and well-known strip club in Las Vegas. People such as myself who have actually been there know that when looking at the Cheetah from the angle seen in the film, there would be no possible way the Stardust could be in the background (in actuality, the I-15 highway would be in the background, not the strip).

Liz Hurley and Dame Joan Collins took a break from filming their series The Royals to shoot a fun Instagram video.
The clip – which was uploaded to Hurley's Instagram page with the caption "Actress talk" – shows the British stars walking off set in bathrobes, with full make up.
"You were wonderful darling," gushed Dame Joan, 84.
But Hurley, 52, insisted: "No, you were wonderful darling."
The pair continued to insist the other had performed better that day. With Dame Joan saying: "No, no, you were better darling."
"No, you were much better than me!" said Hurley.
Hurley plays Queen Helena Henstridge in the television series, while Dame Joan stars as her mother the Grand Duchess Alexandra of Oxford.

The Jackson 5 First National Tour was the group's first tour of America. After having made 1969 appearances with Diana Ross & The Supremes at The Forum, and Yvonne Fair in Gary, Indiana, the tour began in Philadelphia with their first official full-lengthMotown concert. One concert was shared with Jerry Butler and Rare Earth in San Francisco (Tina Turner had been scheduled to appear).
In an interview, Michael told Soul Magazine about the tour, "In San Francisco and Los Angeles, it looked like the walls were falling the way hundreds of them, the girls, came at the stage all together; but we have to practice getting away too, so we're ready to drop everything and run. Jermaine dropped his guitar and took off at the Forum concert. We can always get a new guitar for him, but he'd be kinda hard to replace. It's too bad really, 'cause we can't finish the show the way we rehearsed. We always have to run off stage, and we can't thank the audience and stuff, you know the way we'd really like too, we just have to run away."
The tour was announced in April 1970 by Berry Gordy Jr. and Joe Jackson. During the group's May 10, 1970 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Ed Sullivan announced the group would begin a summer tour of one-nighters at New York's Madison Square Garden on July 7. However, outside of the two June concerts in California, they would not appear there or at any venue until October.
They toured with only four band instruments, Ronnie Rancifer on the organ/keyboard, Johnny Jackson on drums, Tito on lead guitar, and Jermaine on bass.
Song repertoire
- Stand!
- I Want You Back
- Feelin' Alright (cover of the Three Dog Night version)
- Who's Lovin' You
- I'll Be There
- Mama's Pearl
- Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
- Yesterday
- Can You Remember?
- There Was a Time
- It's Your Thing
- I Found That Girl
- Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
- Walk On (an instrumental rendition of Isaac Hayes' "Walk On By")
- The Love You Save
These songs are found in the 1970 tour booklet as The Jackson 5's repertoire ("Songs that's expected to be performed in their performance") for the tour. The set list included songs from the albums Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5, ABC (album) and Third Album. They sang some songs that were not recorded in the studio, such as Hum A Song (From Your Heart), or ones that the group recorded but did not release, like Feelin' Alright.
Although these are the usual songs performed in their set, they often performed different songs. For example, at the concert in Jacksonville, they performed Darling Dear and I Want to Take You Higher. The first 5 songs were always the same, as listed above, and they always ended with Walk On and The Love You Save, except in their first 3 concerts in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

2010 began with a massive earthquake in Haiti, a strong hint that a time of internal energies pushing outwards was at hand. Here at the Karma Economics Desk we have been working on this premise all year long, and with a month to go, we are seeing an increase in the manifestations of this flow all around, at the individual and collective levels.
Although the energy itself is neutral, its manifestations will be perceived as "good" or "bad" depending on the frequency of the karma they are associated to. The Flow is the same for all; what varies is the frequency at which it manifests, which is determined by the vibrational state -aka karma- of the observer. As we've pointed out before in past KE Desk posts, internal energies can be dark, unspeakable secrets or life-long dreams waiting to be born. Simply put, the Universal Flow provides the energy, and we provide the karma which gives it form.
Of all the recent events involving internal energies pushing out, the case of Wikileaks is one of the most twisted. Wikileaks, in case you've been vegetative for the past few months, is a "rogue" internet outfit that supposedly leaks information sent to it by whistleblowers in the military. I say supposedly because the whole Wikileaks thing is so patently absurd as to beggar belief. A rogue website run by a guy who gets interviewed on CNN has the US Government against the wall. Yep, that's right. He even looks like a villain from a James Bond movie. No, really. The US can't close down a website that is threatening national security, or have the guy silenced with extreme prejudice. And if you believe that, Uncle Sam would also like you to purchase the Brooklyn Bridge. Such a deal!
So, having established that Wikileaks is just another psy-ops mind fuck cooked up by the usual reptiles who think everyone else is a moron, let us examine it from the karma investment pov, which is where the real value lies. What stands out is just how well the whole setup fits in the context the larger energetic flux: the pushing out of internal military and governmental "secrets" to the open public eye resonates strongly with the Flow right now, as confirmed by the global reach and implications of the Wikileaks affaire.
While in the short term this may appear to work to the advantage of the parties behind the operation, when the karma factor is added in there is a definite risk of the situation spiraling out of control and backfiring in unexpected ways. Resonating with the Flow amplifies karma and, assuming that the karma behind Wikileaks is not of the good kind, this amplification does not bode well for them. Shadowy is the way of the mind-fuckers; one day they're on top of the world, the next they're suiciding themselves with multiple gunshots. Go figure.
Here at the KE Desk we recommend harmonized high-frequency karma investments as the best hedge against bad collective karma. The pyschopaths in power desperately need us to keep trading in bad karma, just like they need us to keep trading in their funny money. When a critical mass of individuals choose to rid their karma portfolios of toxic assets and come together as a collective, the game changes. This process is well underway and gathering speed as we reach the Event Horizon, like water spiraling down a drainhole. Meanwhile, the background noise level is rising to new pitches to keep fear and anger as the primary karmic currency among the slaves. Smart karma is now betting big on focused thoughts, words and actions that do not propagate slave memes (ie follow MSM guidelines), with emphasis on gratitude (yes, you do have much to be grateful for), integrity and transparency.
Investment tip: As always, be creative. Karma investments can be about surprising yourself with new ways of handling situations and obtaining unexpectedly positive results. Break old knee-jerk reactions, be more open and flexible. Big clunky armors are for battle; leave it at home some day and realize you are not more vulnerable, but faster, lighter and more powerful.
To end, some recent cases of emerging energies that illustrate another facet of the current flow: the discovery of hidden artifacts of value and significance. This has been an obvious trend all year, just to cite the most recent we have a "staggering trove" of 271 undocumented, never-before-seen works Picasso paintings emerging from a trunk in the garage of a French electrician, and a possible 4000 year-old capstone with a star map carved on it is discovered in Wales.
But the most spectacular artifact emergence to date has to be the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids, where excavations are unearthing what may be the largest pyramids in the world, not just one but a constellation of five, with all the geometry (four-sided pyramid, triangular faces), flat top, substructure (tunnels, corridors), underground passageways and chambers, orientation, astronomical and mathematical concepts and other associated structures. The implications of this discovery are so deep that the scientific community are rooted in denial even as the ongoing work at the site lays it bare for the world to see. They say it cannot be there, and yet there it is. Ain't karma swell?

Mom and Dad went to PetCo, yesterday, to get meal wormies for the Bluebirds. Those bird puppies sure are hungry...they are eating 1,000 meal wormies in about a week. Dad figures that the babies should fly around May 27th. We haven't seen them yet, but the mommy and daddy are hanging around the house almost all the time and they are feeding them so much that we are afraid the babies will be too fat to leave the nest. Oh, yeah...all they got US was some doggie toothpaste. It tastes good, but we would rather have treats or stuffies!
This last picture is Queen Pockets. She was our mom and dad's very first Airedale and she went to the bridge 6 years ago on May 8. Tomorrow would have been her 11th barkday. Every year, on her barkday, Mom used to take her to the pet store and let her pick out her own present. Mom says she had her lips on every toy in the place! I never got to meet her, but Penny got to spend almost two years with her and she learned all of Pockie's Aire-head tricks. She still uses a lot of them on ME!

How do I amend or change the information on a birth certificate (such as name corrections)?
The procedures and requirements depend upon the specific information to be changed and whether any previous changes have been made. Specific instructions can only be provided after a review of the birth/death record.
If you have requested a birth/death certificate in the past 12 months, you may return to the office that issues certificates and notify us as to the specific change you would like to make. If you have not requested a birth/death certificate in the past 12 months, this would be the first step you need to take. Again, you should indicate the correction you wish to make. Staff will review the certificate on file and advise you.
How can I check on the status of a birth certificate request?
If you have not received any response to your request within 30 days of submission, you may call 803-898-3630 or e-mail us (email@example.com) for an update.
How can I get a delayed birth record established?
A delayed birth record can be established if 3 different documents verifying the birth facts claimed are submitted. The documents required are based on the age of the person whose birth certificate is being requested at the time of the application.
For a person more than ten years of age, the documents must have been established at least ten years prior to the date of application. For a person ten years or younger, the documents must be dated at least one year prior to the date of the application or within the first year of life. All documents must show the place and the date the document was filed. Xeroxed copies of documents ARE NOT acceptable. Only original or certified copies will be accepted. One of the three documents must show the full name of the mother prior to any marriages and the full name of the father/parent. Examples of records that usually verify this information are:
- Parent's marriage license
- Social Security Numident record
One of the 3 documents must show the correct age or the full date of birth and the place of birth. Examples of record that usually verify this information are:
- School records
- Birth certificates of children born to the person whose record is being established.
- Voters' registration records
- Marriage record of person whose birth record is being established
- Social Security Numident record
One of the 3 documents must verify the full correct date of birth (month, day and year). Examples of documents that usually verify this information are:
Driver's Record
Insurance policies
School records
Medical records
Military records
Social Security Numident record
Evidence Requirements for Establishing or Verifying Birth Facts
To be acceptable, documents that are submitted:
- Have been on file at least the required length of time
- MUST verify the facts claimed
- MUST be the original or a certified copy of the original from the record custodian
- Documents submitted MUST NOT:
- Contain inconsistent information
- Contain incorrect information
- Contain alterations/discrepancies (unauthorized changes, strikeouts, whiteout, etc.)
- Show a place of birth other than South Carolina
IMPORTANT* Delayed certificates may not be acceptable for all purposes. Persons desiring to establish a delayed certificate should contact the agency requesting the birth certificate and ask if a delayed certificate will be acceptable for the purposes they are requesting.
How can I correct the date of birth on a birth certificate?
If the difference is less than 30 days, original or certified documentary evidence from the hospital of birth or two supporting documents for correction is required. At least one of the documents must have been created within 90 calendar days of the date of live birth. If the difference is over 30 days, additional original documentary evidence filed within the first 7 years of life is required. A date of birth cannot be corrected to a date that is beyond the file date listed on the birth certificate nor can it be corrected to a date that is in conflict with a sibling.
Examples of documentary evidence include a certified 10 year driving record and certified school records. Staff will provide specific instructions after a review of the birth record and the requested correction.
The first step is to request a certified copy of your birth certificate and provide a note as to the date of birth you would like to have on your certificate. Staff will review the birth record and advise you specifically on whether the correction can be made as corrected and what evidence would be required. Once the evidence is reviewed and accepted an affidavit of correction is prepared that must be signed by the registrant in the presence of a notary. You may submit this request by mail or in person at a regional vital records office or the DHEC State Vital Records Office in Columbia. Mail requests generally take up to 4 weeks for an initial response. The processing time for the correction will depend upon how soon the required evidence is provided and the returning of the affidavit. Please include a phone number.
The fee is $27 to complete the process and includes a certified copy of the birth certificate.

Austerity cuts, extra costs force rates rise says council chief
Council Laois businesses must shoulder cost of govt cuts and rising population
Falling income combined with sustained Government budget cuts caused by austerity has forced county councillors to take more from local employers.
The 3 percent increase in rates, projected to bring in an extra €370,000, was recommended by the council's chief executive John Mulholland, who said it was needed to balance the books next year.
"Unless Laois County Council can identify a new stream of funding or increase revenue from an existing income stream it will not be possible to present a balanced Revenue Budget for 2017," he had warned prior to the councillors vote last Monday November 14.
Next year Laois will spend €59.3 million, up 4 percent from this year. It compares with €73 million in 2008.
During the same period more than 100 staff were cut from Laois County Council.
The chief executive pointed out the Laois takes less in property taxes and rates than any other county.
Mr Mulholland listed increased insurance costs, extra public lighting, unfinished housing estates, more regulation requirements and the low property tax rates as extra pressures.
Next January, the rate will rise from €64.63 to €66.57 . (The total to be paid is calculated by multiplying the rateable valuation of the property by the annual rate on valuation as adopted by the council at its annual budget meeting)
The county has over 1,700 businesses, but only the biggest will pay the full extra cost.
Councillors also voted to boost the rates incentive scheme, giving a 4 percent discount to small businesses who pay up their commercial rates by the end of 2017.
It is also widened to businesses owing up to €8,500, previously set at €5,000.
However unpaid rates from previous years must still be paid.
Cllr John Moran, FG, proposed the approval of the council's 2017 budget of almost €60m, with the rates increase, and a boosted incentive scheme.
"A lot of work has been put into writing the 2017 budget. The benefits outweigh the 3 percent, I feel the benefit is to the public," he said, seconded by Cllr Paschal McEvoy, FF.
"It's really needed to continue carrying out public servies to Laois," he said.
Cllr Brendan Phelan (Ind) proposed the increase be deferred a year.
"We have to take into consideration the implications of Brexit and the US, we are sending out all the wrong messages. If 15 percent of vacant premises were occupied, we wouldn't need the increase," he said, seconded by Cllr Caroline Dwane SF.
The population grew by 4,200 here since 2011, the equivalent of another town the size of Mountmellick, Mr Mulholland said.
Laois has grown by 17,700 people since 2006, reaching 84,732 by the 2016 Census.

I've only been in Torino, Italy for a day and a half, and already, I'm putting it on my "FIND ME AN INTERNSHIP HERE" list. (Other candidates: Madrid, Spain; anywhere in Germany; possibly London, England)
Here's the thing about Torino: the people here are incredibly helpful. The taxi drivers, the wait staff, the customer service agents– they have all put up with my terrible Italian and general neediness.
TPK and I made it to the center of the city today. My allergies acted up something fierce, but that led us to go to a farmacia, and that led us to bump into a couple of pilgrims. They were in town to see the Holy Shroud of Turin, which has been on display since early April and ending tomorrow. It hasn't been on public display in quite awhile, and this is the last time it will be until the Pope says to put it back out. What luck! We did end up standing in line for a really long time (read: several hours), but it was gorgeous outside, and the Italians had the foresight to put out not only water stations, but gelato and panini stations.
The Shroud experience was something else. I have seen quite a few cathedrals on this trip through Europe, but I hadn't seen any relics. Well, anything that required an elaborate winding que-up. I was happy with the way the city accommodated the crowds, and I was also pleased with the requirements for silence as we neared the Shroud. Once we were finally inside the church, we were ushered into a tiered viewing area, where we were given several minutes of silent contemplation.
Although I consider myself a C&E Catholic (Christmas & Easter), I still felt very blessed to have the opportunity to see the Shroud. It was a nice, peaceful moment in this trip I've been on. And whether you think the relic is a fake or not, it does make one think about that Christian baseline belief of Christ's suffering.
After the Shroud viewing, we decided it was time to get gelato. There was a shop just off the plaza we were in, and it was all I had hoped real Italian gelato would be. I got chocolate and panna, just so I could test my tastebuds on flavors they should remember from Seattle and Bellingham. Well, no disrespect, but the Torino gelato blew my old memories of chocolate and panna out of the water. Delicious, and well-worth the extra calories.
There is a pizzeria down the road from the hotel I'm at, and they have already made The Pirate King and I feel like regulars. We went there last night, and apparently, they told us to come again tonight when TPK was out buying water at the market. We did, in fact, go to Ristorante Noe, and after our meal, our waitress, another waiter, several cooks, and a few of their friends chatted with us. They wanted to know who we were, where we were from, why we were in Torino, where we were going, and all that jazz. We even bantered about how France is not on any of our "Favorite Country" lists. There was a lot of laughter, and I could definitely see the similarities between northern Italy's overall vibe and the family atmosphere in my household. My ancestors are, after all, from a city about an hour from Torino.
My overall experience in Torino, though limited, has been positive. I would love to come back and spend an extended amount of time in the city, just like I was able to in Madrid. Besides, I have to make it to Monastero di Lanzo sometime soon; who's in on this leg of my future adventures?
