Infrastructure development and upgrading was top of the list in the mayor's state of the city, during which he also looked at Joburg's progress.
THE City will invest more than R100-billion in infrastructure development and upgrading in the next 10 years.
Executive mayor Parks Tau says significant progress has been made in the past (Photo: Enoch Lehung, City of Johannesburg)Executive Mayor Parks Tau made this announcement in his maiden state of the city address, tabled in Braamfontein on Thursday, 22 March. Tau was giving an account of the progress made in the City in the past year and charting the way forward.
He said significant strides had been made in revitalising the inner city, attracting new investment, bolstering safety and reducing crime, and in tackling urban grime and decay. Property investors had shown "a healthy appetite for buildings in central Johannesburg".
The mayor said more people than ever before had access to basic services, including water and sanitation, electricity and waste removal. Over 30 000 households in informal settlements had access to basic water in the form of communal standpipes and over 30 000 households had access to basic sanitation.
About 98 percent of Joburg residents now had access to water and about 91 percent had sanitation. Most households had access to electricity and the indigent continued to get free basic services, including 10 kilolitres of water and 100 kilo watts per hour of electricity per month, as well as the related rebate on sanitation and rates.
Health careHealth: A top priority for the CityOn health, the mayor said the City was committed to fighting HIV and Aids and increasing awareness of the disease. It administers about 50 clinics where people can get antiretroviral treatment, testing and counselling.
He said a large proportion of the City's population still "lived in material income deprivation". "The extremely high levels of income inequality are indeed a cause for concern. Our partnership with provincial and national government departments, civil society and business will continue as we scale up our poverty alleviation programmes."
The redevelopment of Soweto was probably the "microcosm of the work undertaken". He announced that the state-of-the-art Soweto Theatre would be opened in "a few weeks. Soweto is the place to be – it has status."
However, he cautioned against resting on laurels. "As we celebrate the progress we have made, we should not become complacent. Our progress should instead inspire us to lift the bar and become even more diligent and focused in addressing the complex challenges that face us."
City's billing roadmap aims to improve customer interaction with the CityHe said billing and customer services remained one of the City's top priorities as it tried to regain the trust and confidence of its residents. The billing roadmap was designed to improve the quality of customers' interaction with the City.
Customer servicesJoburg had also made steady progress in improving customer interface, strengthening revenue collection and restoring confidence in the integrity of its billing system.
He said the council had approved "a high level institutional design to give effect to Joburg 2040". Since its adoption, a City manager and new senior management had been appointed to enhance the City's financial health and sustainability, administrative processes and accountability as well as the delivery of services.
The City would implement waste separation at source projects across the municipality. "We are convinced that if we mobilise communities to sort waste at a household level, this will go a long way in waste reduction and the creation of a clean city."
Tau said the municipality had a score of flagship projects that would be spearheaded in the next financial year.

Hi Dana, the discussion on the forum about social commentary in crime fiction has gotten quite a lot of responses. This has inspired us at Noir Nation to add a new section to the first issue of Noir Nation wherein writers opine on the following question: Must crime noir have a moral point? The word limit is 300 to 500 words. Include short bio, and photo. There is a $25 honoraria, payable on publication. Best five get published in Issue No. 1. Send to email@example.com
-- Eddie Vega, Noir Nation editor in chief
Hi Dana, Fabulous to connect with you. Wish you well with your blog and writing ventures. Thanks again for your expertise on writing synopses :))

Heart and Soul: Life Changer
This past Saturday night, I was privileged to crank out a few tunes on the stage of the Shell Theatre in the Dow centre for the Life-changer concert. It was great to be able to "artistically vent". I don't get to do that as often as I used to!
I would like to thank everyone who came out to have a listen, and those who came to be a support and join in the linking of arms to help bring youth depression, self-harm, and family violence to an end here in the Fort, as well as to offer support to the Shiloh Youth Ranch who puts on summer camps to bring healing and hope for kids at risk. We live in such a great community, but as good as it is, there are hidden problems that need to be exposed and healed.
It was an honour to have some of our distinguished leaders out, such as our Mayor, Gale Katchur and her husband Wayne, as well as our MLA, Jacquie Fenske, as we all heard the life-changing story of Musician Heather Williams.
What an honour it was to share the stage with such an incredible person, and to be able to present this pressing need to our community! Many of our young people suffer immensely from the effects of family breakups, and family violence.
Heather was one of those individuals. For her to tell her story, impacted many of whom were there, and will hopefully open the door to healing and restoration for those who have the same story.
I would also like to thank the counselling groups that were represented, and everyone that helped promote the event, especially Over Easy, Please for allowing me to write about this stuff, and providing the advertising space! The crowd wasn't huge, but was significant… as these are the ones who will help us change the atmosphere for those who are struggling.
I was deeply impacted with the thought that there is a lot of hope here, and so impressed that various organizations such as Families First, Dream Catchers, Corner Stone Counselling, and others would even consider coming out to show support and offer their services along side of our group here at Life Church and the Shiloh Youth Ranch. I heard it said before, that it takes a whole community to raise a child. It takes a whole community to heal one as well.
I hope and pray, desperately, that if you know of any family or individual who is a victim of family violence, depression, or involved in self harm, that you would have the courage to hold out your hand and help lead them to a place of safety and recovery… It'll take the whole community to solve this issue!
I'm not suggesting that everyone needs to stop what they're doing and "take up arms" with us in this movement, but that you will simply be aware that this is going on, and when you see it happening, be bold enough to either get involved, or let someone know who is able to help… it could save a life!
If you are victim, or are struggling in some way… there's several groups of people who are holding out their hand… do what you can to help us find you, and we'll do what we can to pull you out and begin the journey of healing and restoration… there's hope here… please take advantage of it!

The basic goal of the reforms of the local self-government and the public administration on Kosmet is to make these institutions closer to the citizens, as citizens expect to fulfill their needs through institutions and to decisively influence decisions of importance for their community.
These are just some characteristics pointed by Carlo Civiletti, ambassador and chief of the mission of the Council of Europe for the decentralization in Kosovo and Metohija.
POLITIKA: Last year, the media announced that the mission of the Council of Europe would compile a document on the decentralization of Kosovo and Metohija. There were also recommendations on the reforms of the local self-government?
CIVILETTI: Basically, the implementation of the decentralization and the suggested reforms of the local self-government address same or similar problems. In any case, we decided that the name of the project would be reforms of the local self-government, because this is a broader topic and is more suited to what needs to be done on Kosovo.
Yes we did. I can confidently say that we tried to find solutions that would be acceptable for all citizens, that is members of all ethnic communities.
Does the document provide means for protection of human rights of minority communities?
Protection of human rights is a broader issue, which needs to be regulated by several documents. Reforms of the local self-government offer all citizens a possibility to fulfill their rights; this also goes for the members of minority communities.
Will reforms of the local self-government stimulate the return of the displaced in Kosovo and Metohija?
Globally, yes. Returnees will know what they are coming to, and in what way and through which institutions they can fulfill their human rights and solve certain problems. Also, the returnees can immediately take part in the democratic process and decision making at the local level. This should motivate them. But there are also other problems connected with the return process. We should not forget that problems of the economy and safety need to be regulated through other documents as well, and need to be discussed on levels higher then the local government level.
Are reforms in the local self-government related to the future status of Kosovo and Metohija?
No. These reforms are needed in Kosovo regardless of its future status. I am obligated to point that reforms are proposed in the manner that would enable this region to achieve European standards. This supports the "standards before status" approach of the international community.
First of all, there are very few municipalities, given the size of the population. In large municipalities, with many inhabitants, it is practically impossible to have contact with the citizens and attend to their needs. A typical example of this situation is the Pristina municipality with half a million citizens. It is very important that citizens have contact with units of local self-government.
What would be the basic unit of local self-government on Kosovo and Metohija?
Let me use the local term, a local commune or a sub-municipality. It is safe to say that a sub-municipality would be a local municipality, and the already existing municipalities would become regional municipalities. It is recommended that Kosovo have 180 sub-municipalities. This would mean that on average one sub-municipality would have 5,000 citizens. In rural areas, some sub-municipalities could have 1,000 to 2,500 inhabitants. On the other hand some sub-municipalities in the cities would have 15 to 20 thousand inhabitants.
Which institutions would exist within a sub-municipality?
A local Council and a president of the council. Of course, a sub-municipality would have its own offices.
Which places would have the status of cities?
Those would be Pristina, Kosovska Mitrovica, Pec, Gnjilane, Urosevac, Prizren, and Djakovica. It is planned that Pristina have 12 sub-municipalities, while the rest of them will have two or three. When will the reforms start?
Everything started on Tuesday, when the document was handed over to UNMIK. It will be developed step by step because there is a lot to be done.
What will be the hardest part?
The Council of Europe mission predicts that the hardest part will be to determine the sub-municipality borders. Then we shall have to regulate the management of public [state] property. I can say that at this moment we have not covered that area with appropriate legislation.
Will there be sub-municipalities in which the Serbs would be a majority?
Yes. But it is also recommended that some of the existing municipalities such as Novo Brdo, become sub-municipalities. This is because Novo Brdo has only four thousand inhabitants, and according to our project one unit should have five thousand inhabitants.
What is the crucial moment for the reform?
That would be the elections for the local self-government, which are planed for 2006. In those elections people would choose representatives for local sub-municipalities, municipalities, and cities.
How much would the reform cost?
It is predicted that in the next four years 7.3 million Euros will be spent for the improvement of functioning of local self-government and public administration. It is presumed that the expenses for the functioning of the new local self-government and public administration will increase by 10 to 15 percent in comparison with the current expenses. But I have to add that the efficiency will increase, the incomes will increase and that the new administrative units will have at their disposal bigger founds for solving problems at the local level.

But cinema is a subtly pervasive leitmotif throughout the work, beginning with the all-illuminating California sunshine that first drew the industry West, and which rakes through This Side of Paradise like a searchlight in a gala premiere or helicopter pursuit. Which isn't to say that the expressionist conventions of noir are neglected — L.A. was the first American city with electric streetlights and neon signs, and the dark night of the locust is explored in grainy detail.
Lighting effects are only the most obvious indicator of the profound impact motion pictures have had on our visual-comprehension skills. While they may not have originated in the medium, a slew of complex visual strategies — implied out-of-frame action, split-screen simultaneity, the nonlinear juxtaposition of montage, etc. — were programmed into our perceptual software by the movies.
Sekula's installation — a sequence of discontinuous documentary images beginning with the surprisingly elegant symbolism of the pigeon-spike studded Hollywood Greyhound bus sign and ending with a diptych depicting the now-demolished Ambassador Hotel (with pit stops for Chuck E. Cheese and decomposed-possum retrieval) — is patently cinematic, unfolding in the Huntington's hyper-real landscape like an interventionist documentary, gently but efficiently inverting the categories of the real and imaginary.
It's a telling reversal that points up the disorienting virtuality of much of the other work. A 126-year-old view of Commercial Street inevitably reads like the set of a Western. And while the exhibit is deliberately arranged nonchronologically, you can sense the gradual and fundamental shift in the human subjects' understanding of their identity as a sort of latent screen image, just waiting for that close-up.
While this may not be so good for our species' psychological makeup, it makes for some damn fine art. And even the most didactic and documentary photos have clearly been chosen and installed with a strong formalist eye. It's remarkable enough that the curators have managed to assemble such a satisfying selection of individual works, but even more surprising is the success of their grand conceit.
Even the peculiar-but-functional forests of industrial-display struts designed by Daly Genik echo freeway infrastructure, and the fact that you have to haul your ass halfway across (billboard-studded) creation to see the whole show is annoyingly appropriate. But it is the curators' porous approach to the categorical arrangement of this enormous spectrum of overlapping semiotic nuggets that will seem most eerily familiar to anyone who has ever tried to make sense out of Los Angeles. Or the contemporary visual continuum. Like Rauschenberg.
While the New York School painters were essentially extrapolating a refined hermetic language from 19th-century European roots — discriminating between and dismissing entire fields of visual information — Rauschenberg was groping for a position of total inclusiveness. In short, Rauschenberg — not Pollock and the other Abstract Expressionists — was the first truly American painter, and his vision was inextricably connected with a way of looking at the world that emerged from Hollywood. On the spot where he wandered in to check out the cactus garden and wound up realizing "you could be an artist," Rauschenberg's synergistic, synesthetic, anarchistic worldview has come home to roost.

Release Date: Jun 17, 2013
Define how people, organizations and systems provide and use services to achieve results, with the use of Service Oriented Architecture Modeling Language (SoaML). Different kinds of diagram are provided to define and describe services from multiple angles, and with different approaches.
VPository makes it easy for anyone to design software collaboratively. You don't have to download any server software, pay for hosting, or manage a web server. VPository has done everything for you. Now, VPository offers a free subscription plan that allows you to try it out before going into production use. 1 GB free storage is allowed.
Compare the current software design with previous revisions. Learn from the past and make appropriate changes to the latest design. The side-by-side comparison function makes it so easy to figure out the changes.
Compare your model with previous revisions. Easily tell the differences of a model element by checking a list of updated properties say, a change in name, an update in documentation, etc.
Through comparing with a previous revision, you know the changes, and through the change retrieval function, you can instantly roll back to a previous known good state of design.
Port can be attached to elements like component and object. In the latest version, you can show the multiplicity value of port on diagram, through enabling the corresponding presentation option.
Add sample data to your database design. Generate a full HTML/PDF/Word report for your design, with a list of sample data presented.
As a kind of vector graphic type, SVG enables the viewing of image content with unrestricted zoom level, without any blur or distortion. HTML report generation supports using SVG as the type of diagram images.
Add sample data to your database design. Publish your project with a list of sample data included.
The report template language has been improved to support filtering elements by tagged values and reference.
Shape nodes in Diagram Navigator can now be sorted in customized order. Simply select the shape node(s) and press the move up/down button to perform a custom sorting.
Sub-diagram nodes in Model Navigator can now be sorted in customized order. Simply select the diagram node(s) and press the move up/down button to perform a custom sorting.
Raise discussions around multiple shapes in your design. Simply make a multiple shape selection in PostMania and post your message. Both the web client and VP-UML are supported.
You may want to re-position the name of UI components like button, label and checkbox in a screen mockup. You can achieve it by updating the horizontal/vertical alignment properties in the UI specification window of the UI components.
The instant generator template engine has been enhanced to allow the retrieval of constraint information from elements like classes, attributes, operations, etc.
A keyword can appear in different forms in different parts of project. For example, the word 'model', 'models', 'modell' may all refer to the same thing. The 'other form' property provides you a way to define the alternate forms of a glossary terms. Meanwhile, VP-UML can underline in documentation keywords that are chosen as both primary and other forms.
A role in event-driven process chain diagram (EPC Diagram) represents a unit, organization or a party that performs a function in a process, while a system is the provider of functions in process. VP-UML allows you to model with role and system in EPC diagram.
The derived property specifies whether the association or its end(s) is derived from other model elements such as other associations or constraints. You can set an association or association end derived.
A subset means that the association end to which this constraint is applied is a specialization of association end that is part of the association being specialized. You can model subsetted association ends in the latest version of VP-UML.
Allows specifying the class that owns an association end.
When you expand and drill down a sub-process, edit the sub-diagram and go back to the parent diagram, you won't see the sub-process expanded. From now on, sub-process will remain collapsed. You can expand it manually.
Refactoring now supports multiple directions - pushing project data to referenced diagram and pulling project data from referenced diagram.
The Open-API now supports adding diagram category as well as the button group and buttons in it. Besides, you can now define default tagged values for custom elements created by a plug-in, as well as to present the tagged values in the body of these custom shapes.
Maximize your software design in Mac with the full screen function.

August 18, 2012 in Wildlife Village by nickthegreek
And so, with another week over we edge ever closer to the final stages of Osprey season, and that dreaded condition suffered only by Osprey watchers, EMPTY NEST SYNDROME!!
Extensive research has shown that ENS is wholly incurable, with the only known relief from it being the viewing of Ospreys either live, or more frequently, via the variously located webcams around the country. Sufferers exhibit easily recognisable symptoms such as restlessness, anxiety, staring vacantly into space, or worse, at the empty nest itself, as if willing something onto their computer screen!! Long suffering spouses and partners are by now, well used to their enquries regarding meals being met with stock replies such as "Gerrit yerself, you know where the oven is!!" or "Your tea's burnt, the chippy's on fire!!" As ever, in just a few short weeks we'll all be suffering from those symptoms, and storing our memories for recall during the winter months ahead! Several females have, as we know, already begun their migratory journeys – Lady we know, should be well on her way, as should Nora, and they've been followed by EJ, and Rutland's Site B female, and I'm sure, by many others from around the country. And so it's left now to the various males to continue keeping a watchful eye on their fast developing offspring. A number of the youngsters have been making their first attempts at fishing for themselves, with varying degrees of success! Good signs I feel, that their instincts are functioning well. Some won't taste success until they're actually en route to their wintering grounds, and others will be more fortunate – as we now know, our own BLUE44 is already one of those that has actually landed his first catch, on wednesday of this week!! Not, by all accounts, the biggest fish he'll ever catch, but at this stage, just the fact that he's been successful is the most important factor, and he can be justifiably happy with his efforts for now!! I won't dwell on the sadness that this time of the year elicits in us, as it's not quite over yet. Rather, I feel we have some great memories to draw upon from around all our favoured nests. Those memories certainly contain the traditional blend of excitement, frustration, disbelief, laughter, tears, and just plain "AWWWWWW" moments, as we witness the daily goings on in an Osprey family's life. Instead of us "suffering" from ENS, perhaps we should view it as the end of a chapter in a much loved book, with the next chapter straight ahead of us?? Ok, who am I trying to kid??!! See you all in THE SUNSHINE HOME FOR THE BEWILDERED!!!! Images by kind permission, and © copyright Dyfi Osprey Project. Many thanks as always.____________________________________

Unreasonable request
Register Today!- by pedspnp Mar 8, '12I had a 2 year old come in today severely constipated, I asked the nurse to please show the. Mom how to give a enema since mom was uncomfortable doing it. The response I received was I'm not doing that you do it. Since it was just me and her and a screaming kid and mom, I showed the mom, and now wondering why have a nurse.the nurse stated I have done it on old people not babies ( it was a 2 year old ) I offered to have her come in with me and she still refused . Done venting
- Mar 8, '12 by zenmanWas it an order? Did she have the training? If not will she train in essential procedures? If not, she's not needed.
- Mar 8, '12 by pedspnpYes it was a order, does she know how to do it yes but only comfortable doing it on adults I offered to show her , she hmm declined
- Mar 9, '12 by danceluver@pedspnp: I wanted to send you a message but your inbox is full. Let me know when i can send it to you
- Mar 9, '12 by mammac5Is this staff person a licensed nurse or a medical assistant? When I was a medical assistant (back in the day) I had not been trained to administer enemas and might have refused to do that with a small child, more out of concern for safety than anything else.
If the staff person is a licensed nurse, he or she should be expected to be qualified and willing to perform any services ordered as long as they are within the scope of practice AND the person has been appropriately trained. If you were willing to demonstrate for her and she refused, that's a problem. It is a great thing for any licensed person to speak up and admit that he or she needs some brush up on certain procedures that may have not been performed since nursing school...but then that person should be willing to learn.
I'm sure I've said this before, but you seem to work in a horrible environment completely lacking in support from office management, staff, and other providers. From previous posts it seems that the staff have run amock, there is general disrespect for you as a provider, and evidence-based practice is laughed at. Not a good situation.kids likes this. - Mar 9, '12 by TinabeanrnI think you still need a nurse bc there is a reason you asked her to do the enema....so you could go do other things. And for her to say "no you do it" was just disrespectful and rude to me. Can you write her up or anything? I can understand being uncomfortable, but you watch one, do one and teach one. And if she is gonna be like that, she doesn't need to be working in that clinic where you see kids. I love kids so much, and those lil ones will need a nurse that is more caring and compassionate then that. Just saying
- Mar 9, '12 by pedspnpI have addressed the office manager a few times and the staff about the staffs attitude. The office manager has done nothing, today I emailed administration with list of concerns, regarding the issues and how nothing has been done. Immediate response from Vice CEO " they were not aware of these issues and there is no tolerance for this type of behavior" next I hear from the office manager wanting to know how this could be remedied , my response to her was " I have brought this to your attention repeatedly with no resolving of the concerns or issues or any attempt, I will be having a face to face meeting next week with administration regarding your failure to address the problem regarding staff etc etc and they will be talking with you after the meeting. With thy said I told her I was busy and hung up.

After reading many Georgia newspapers of the era (1860-1865) I was somewhat surprised to discover that the editors of said papers called the conflict a civil war. If the people who actually lived through it called it a civil war, who am I to argue with them. |

I'm quite content to leave it as the US Civil War -- never mind that it it quite difficult to justify calling it a civil war. I'll even leave it at the War Between the States. Call it whatever you want. I'll stick with USCW or WBTs. ole |

How about "the First Civil War?" Should be a real conversation starter, and might make you a "person of interest" to certain government agencies. |

"Wow. Some threads never die." Whaddaya complaining about, Pvt.Clewell - you started this thread, perhaps you should be pleased that your thread-child is showing signs of imortality. Anyway, 1 more post and it will tie the latest NASCAR thread in # of posts; it presently surpasses in # of views. Hey, if you can beat out a NASCAR post in interest, you're doing something right! "How about "the First Civil War?" Should be a real conversation starter, and might make you a "person of interest" to certain government agencies."

As I grew up it was generally called the "War Between the States". Only in school was it called the Civil War. I have friends and customers that refuse to call it the Civil War. In most meetings with the SCV they refuse to call it the Civil War. I think most comes from the failed doctrine of the "Lost Cause". That being said we recently had a number of meetings here in SC concerning the upcoming sesquicentennial and at each meeting the State organizer said we will refer to it as the Civil War as that is the common name for the war and Federal money is tied to the name the Civil War, not any other name. If we were to use another name possible Federal funding could be in jeopardy. In addition today we now have a much greater understanding and empathy for the black story during the war. So the name Civil War is relatively neutral and when one speaks of the war everyone know what we are speaking about. It's funny how we get so hung up on names even when the debate within, about the name, is detrimental to the historical study. |

Very much liked your post, 39th. After this thread took off, I changed from using "TWBTS" to "CW" on this and every other board I post to. It seemed that having a concencus name was the right thing to do and took a bit of bias out of the posts. (And they think that I am unreconstructable! ) I still like to raise a little H*** in my personal discussions here in the great white north; cain't wait to employ Bama's "War to Prevent Southern Independence". But, anyway, good post! Thanks. JR Last edited on Wed Dec 5th, 2007 03:24 am by JoanieReb |

When I grew up, it was the "Civil War." There was no WBTS no War of Northern Agression, no War of the Rebellion. We are talking about the same war, aren't we? Name it whatever you'd like; it doesn't change a thing. There was a war. It was a vicious war. And somewhere close to 620,000 boys and men died before it was ended. Why? Scuzzi! I thought I heard an excuse or two. If a meadow vole f*rts, does a tree fall down? |

Ole- 620,000 killed in our war is a huge number, but the total number of humans killed in wars in the 19th Century was small compared to the 170 million killed in the 20th Century. Are we humans more: "enlightened" in the 21st century? Apparently, we are not. And you ask: "Why?" My answer is: "Because thats the way it has always been." There are just a lot more humans around than there has ever been before. We do things on a larger scale these days. My apologies to all who might be offended by my Machiavellian "bias." |

Still flu-ridden, Ole, And thus having a hard time responding to things as well as I'd like to. I have been trying to find a very brief essay, circa 2000, entitled, "How Can I Celebrate Our Dead" by a South Carolinian Woman whom refused to lay wreaths on her Southern CW ancestors' graves. It was about 4 paragraphs long, and one whole paragraph negatively referenced The South's insistance on using names other than " The Civil War". After reading it, I consciously chose to always say TWBTS, it hurt me that bad. Yes, you grew up in The North, where it was ALWAYS The Civil War in your lifetime. It was a concession to me to start using CW here and on the other threads.... Last edited on Wed Dec 5th, 2007 06:42 am by JoanieReb |

The proper name for the vehicle is the automobile. The common name is car. Car is generic and everyone knows what you are talking about. Don't have a clue what car stands for or how it came into being. Ole, I grew up in the South. My mother was non-political and a real kind gentle woman. However in our house you didn't mention Sherman's name or sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic! It was referred to as the War Between the States. Not as a political or revisionist name but as a casual title. I don't think a "formal" title was ever bestowed, so what ever one is comfortable with will do but everyone knows what the Civil War means. Funny even some CW re-enactors I know refer to themselves as Civil War re-enactors but refuse to call it the Civil War. Go figure. |

How about "American Revolution 2.0"? (Only kidding). I grew up hearing on the term"civil war" for the conflict, so it has become habit for me to use that term. However, I feel that "The War Between The States" is a bit more "accurate". |

What Is an Esthetician?
By Lizz Shepherd
Many spas and salons advertise a staff esthetician, but some customers aren't really sure what that means. Are they like cosmeticians, helping you to pick out your best colors, or are they just spa workers who have been given a fancy job title? The answer is neither.
An esthetician is a skin care therapist. Though many of these jobs aren't technically in the medical profession, they do receive hundreds of hours of training in their profession and must be state-licensed. Every state has a set number of training hours required, and that number can be as high as 600 hours.
What Do They Do?
There are a few types, and each performs in a different setting and with a different purpose. While many of the ones we see work in spas and salons, there are also paramedical estheticians that work alongside doctors. They help to prepare the skin for surgery and help doctors and patients take care of it afterward. They may teach patients how to care for their post-operative skin or show them how to conceal their scars or redness.
In salons and spas, they perform many of the spa treatments that make the skin look better. You know the ones: waxing, facials, body wraps, etc. There are also plenty of trendy skin therapies that come and go, such as mud baths, paraffin treatments, and hair removal sugaring.
Many of them will teach you how to care for your particular skin type and may even create a daily skin regimen for you to follow. They can't take the place of a dermatologist, however. If you need a skin medication, such as antibiotics for acne or a prescription scream for rosacea, they won't be able to provide a prescription. Many of them can refer you to a dermatologist, however, and they may have some specialty products that can help with your skin problem.

Hunting HS gems and jucos in Georgia
By Dave Telep
Editor's note: This is the latest entry in
Dave Telep's July Road Trip blog
. Throughout the month, Dave will check in each day he's on the road while covering some of the
biggest basketball recruiting events
in the country. He'll let you know where he is, offer some highlights of the day and give a quick look at what's next.
ATLANTA -- The only goal I had on Saturday was to end my pursuit of 2015 point guard
Jawun Evans
(Simpsonville, S.C./Legacy Charter). We live in bordering states, yet for whatever reason our paths hadn't crossed yet. Saturday afternoon, they finally did as I skipped over to the Elite 32 in Atlanta after a couple days at the
Best of the South
in Suwanee, Ga.
Elsewhere on Saturday, we often talk about players getting out of their comfort zone. Well, I stepped out of mine for a few hours and dipped my toes into the junior college pool at an event back in Suwanee. It was kind of like jumping into a lake in the middle of winter in Wisconsin.
Here are some nuggets from Saturday's action across Georgia.
Evans will rocket up the charts
Jawun Evans is on his way to establishing himself as one of the best point guards in the 2015 class.
Evans is on a short list of top point guards in the 2015 class. He's that good, and he'll be in contention for highest honors as this position plays out over the next two years.
The kid is also smart. How do I know? He tries to emulate Chris Paul, this blog's pick for the top point guard on the planet. Evans sports No. 3, wears the CP signature sneaks, and it doesn't take long to see he's swiped a few pages from the CP bag of tricks.
Evans is a speed guy who is one of high school basketball's best touch passers. His passes are accurate and arrive at the precise moment. He has a gift for sharing and seeing plays. You know a guy is a good passer when his bounce passes pop off the floor in the anticipated spot.
In the game I watched on Saturday, Team Breakdown tried to rough him up. He didn't bite and kept his head the entire time. It was a textbook non-reaction reaction. He took his medicine and went to the line for his free throws.
Evans isn't without flaws. He can become a better finisher, and by that I mean stronger to the rim. He's more of an acrobatic closer than he is a hammer. He also turned it over a few times too many in the game I watched. But at the end of the day, Evans plays well in traffic, has a true point guard presence and is undoubtedly one of the best I've seen at his position in his class.
Clemson, South Carolina, SMU and DePaul have offered. He grew up in South Carolina more Tiger than Gamecock, for what that's worth. Kentucky is his dream school.
Davis' story gives you more reason to bet on him
I don't know much about 2014 center Raasean Davis (Dallas, Ga./Paulding County), but the process of learning more began on the car ride following his game Saturday at the Elite 32.
Davis is known by recruiting guys like Justin Young who cover basketball in Georgia, but he's far from a name that's on the national radar of college basketball coaches. Most of his offers are a direct result of last week's Peach State performance. He's a newbie and that makes following him all the more fun.
The 6-foot-7 � interior player was very impressive against the Birmingham Ice. For starters, Davis plays bigger than his size. He can run, has a nice touch and is a mobile big man. After spending more than half this month evaluating bigs, it's my opinion that Davis is better than many who have outsized reputations and are receiving lower-tier high-major scholarship offers. Granted, I've seen him only once, but that's why you double back and do the homework.
Here's where the profile begins to unfold. He's a Chicago native who moved to Louisiana before settling in a small Georgia town. He didn't play varsity until his sophomore year, and last season he averaged 17 points and 16 rebounds per game. Now, the competition wasn't high, but 16 rebounds is more an indicator of willingness and activity, which are just as important. Sixteen is a big rebounding number, and he had 17 points and eight rebounds in the game I saw on Saturday morning.
"I just started playing for exposure," said Davis, a 3.2 GPA student. "Last year I played with an under-the-radar AAU team."
This time around he's on the Smyrna Stars, a program notorious for churning out under-the-radar talents, including former Georgia Tech standout Lewis Clinch. The Stars aren't shoe-funded but their skipper, Gary Graham, mines diamonds -- that's his reputation.
Kent State, Jacksonville, UNC-Asheville and Southeast Missouri State all offered after the Peach State last week. They'll be quite nervous this week, and their attempt to sign Davis is what's good and bad about being a mid-major. Credit them for being on him early and then quietly attending his games in the hopes that the wrong mix of schools wouldn't be watching with them. They know that all it takes is one high-major program to bite and they're in trouble. Davis seems likely to receive those nibbles as they hold on for dear life during the third and final July open recruiting period later this week.
Cofer is a different player than in the spring
Tennessee recruit Phil Cofer is playing with a high motor and toughness.
Tennessee head coach Cuonzo Martin sat and watched Vols recruit
Phil Cofer
(Atlanta/Whitewater) with Team Georgia on Saturday at the Elite 32. The 2014 power forward looked decidedly different with this team than he did with the Georgia Stars on the Nike EYBL circuit in the spring.
"I have a new mindset, and a lot of that is Coach Martin," Cofer said. "He's telling me to go hard no matter what."
With the Stars, Cofer sported a big afro and a quiet motor. With Team Georgia, it's a closer-cropped cut and a major-league motor, one of the best I've seen this summer. New environment, new player.
This 6-7 power forward is Donnell Harvey-ish. Same size, same long arms and same wide shoulders, minus Harvey's extraterrestrial athleticism. Cofer tries to dunk everything and seemingly challenges for every rebound. He exudes toughness.
The toughness comes from his father, Mike Cofer, a former Detroit Lions star who played football at Tennessee. Mike is presently fighting for his life with a kidney disease. His son carries that burden daily, knowing that time spent with his father is precious. "You can't think about," Phil Cofer said. "It's crazy what he's went through."
We watch and evaluate these kids. Sometimes we know the backstory, sometimes we don't. This is a strong young man. He didn't pick Tennessee just for the basketball. One day, Martin may serve a role for him greater than merely a coach. He'll have big shoes to fill.
Durham has all the markers
The last time Team Breakdown had two talents with this much anticipation, the squad rolled out a pair of guards named Brandon Knight and Kenny Boynton.
Dewan Huell
(Miami/Norland), a 6-9 big man and member of the 2016 class, is the No. 2 big on the Breakdown 16s. The top dog is ESPN 25 center
Juwan Durham
(Tampa, Fla./Tampa Prep), an elite 6-10 prospect. Tampa Prep's last big-time big man was Casey Sanders, a high school All-American who attended Duke. Durham will be better.
As a freshman, Durham averaged 14.2 points per game. He also noted that he blocked a ton of shots and was quite proud of his nine swats per game. South Florida's Stan Heath watched him on Saturday at the Elite 32, and Miami's Jim Larranaga saw his afternoon contest. Before too long, the crowds will get larger.
Getting out of the comfort zone
The last time I evaluated junior college players, Reggie Evans was playing for Coffeyville JC in 1999. Evans is now entering his 12th NBA season, so it's been a while. Upon entering Brad Winton's All-American Juco Showcase on Saturday, I realized I'd left my roadmap for juco basketball back in Kansas 14 years ago. If you want to know about jucos, you ask Winton or seasoned college guys like "Juco" Joe Dooley or Steve Forbes. I don't know if I was there two hours, but I do know you're either in that world or out of it. And I felt like the boy in the bubble.
Juco events are laced with players from the past -- guys you once covered in high school who fell into academic problems or rough times off the court. On Saturday, I saw
Sam Cassell Jr.
Kadeem Allen
Rasham Suarez
Chris Bryant
, Jeffrey Newberry and
Cinmeon Bowers
Bowers is regarded as the best talent in juco ball, or at least that's what I'm told. He treated this event like Charles Barkley would have treated a rec league game in his prime. He dunked, stared, dunked some more, and it appeared to me other guys were intimidated by his presence. He's a menacing player who carries a reputation for being equal parts freight train and loose cannon. The guy is an animal on the floor. He went real, real hard.
If you asked most college coaches, they'd tell you they would rather have a highly touted high school player than a junior college kid like Bowers who brings some baggage. However, Bowers will remain on their boards as a late possibility should things not break their way with the high school recruits.
Sitting courtside were Louisville's Rick Pitino, Florida State's Leonard Hamilton, Alabama's Anthony Grant and Memphis' Josh Pastner. For what it's worth, once Bowers was done they left, a clear indication they were there for a singular reason.
Up next:
The second session of July's three open evaluation periods is over. Georgia was good to me over the past few days. The final act of my month will play out in Orlando and then Las Vegas beginning later this week. Look for daily blogs starting again on Thursday and running through next Monday. In the interim, check back Wednesday for my top 10 lessons learned from the second live period.

all times, must confess to this guilt : its object being to give a supposed spirit to
the sentiment and expression.
tares of her consort, and Art and Nature (Truth being another
name for Nature), being united, form the excellence of the
dramatic invention, which mere opinions cannot injure.
" I heard
The sweetest and most ravishing contention
That Art and Nature ever were at strife in."
Vide Ford's Lover's Melancholy, i, so. 1,
V. 48. Thenot's speech—" This is the cabin," &c. and
editor's note, p. 49, p. I conceive that the whole of this
speech is addressed to the moon, whom he personifies as the
sister of Apollo, though calling her a " blessed star ;" nor,
indeed, could the language in which she is represented as
infusing into the breasts of mortals a soul more valuable
than the gift of reason itself (that separates man from the
lower creatures), be applicable to a mere woman — the shep-
herdess Clorin.
p. 77. ■ This spring of thine,
Let it of nothing taste but earth
And salt conceived in its birth.
The editor says, "I have restored these lines, though I must
confess I do not understand them." — Marini, addressing
the river god, prays that nothing injurious or unwholesome
may infect the purity of his waters — no poisonous animals,
as the newt (eft) and toad ; no veins of nitre or brim-
stone spoyle their taste ; but that they may have only the
natural flavour of the earth from which they rise, and what
he calls the salts that are native to them ; by which the
nuu'iates and sulphates, which are found in some propor-
tions in all waters, are intended, and which go under the
general name of salts, forming by their relative quantities,
hard or soft water. These make component parts of all
waters ; but not so brimstone or nitre, and mineral sub-
stances, which ^x^ foreign to them, and destroy their purity

P. 106. Like thunder 'gainst the bay.

the bay-tree is emphatically the laurel, and it is in the hay

the poets is supposed to exist — Laurus nobilis, the laurel
of the ancients. The plant that we now in England call the
laurel, is a prunus or cerasus — the Lauro cerastis, or cherry-
laurel ; it was unknown to the ancients, and was only
introduced into Europe in 1576, and indeed it is 7iot men-
tioned in Gerard's Herbal so late as 1597, so that it has
not been known much above 250 years. The hai/^ and
laurel seem used for the same tree in Ford's The Suns
Darling, act ii, sc. 1, p. 353, ed. Weber.
P. 117. To cherish him whose many pains and sweat
Hath given increase, and added to the downs,
Sort all your shepherds from the lazy clowns
That feed their heifers on the budded broom, &c.
A distinction is here made between the shepherd-farmer,
who has stubbed up the thorns, furze, shrubby wood, &c,
on the wild lands, recovered them from the waste, and con-
verted them into good pasture for the flocks ; and the "lazy
clown," who is contented to lie down in idleness, merely
accompanying his heifers and cattle to feed and wander at
will among the broom and heath, in their natural, uncul-
tivated, and much less productive state. This is a picture
that preserves its truth to the present day.
P. 120. " Rack." A sea fog, which in cold evenings
in spring, succeeding hot days, and accompanied with an
east wind, rolls over to the land, reaching some miles inland,
is provincially called " a roke." — Suff. Gloss. MS,

Editor's Note — " The process of sweating patients afflicted

plays, &c. with a variety of jocular allusions." A view of

The late severe vrinter (1855) has probably destroyed half of those that were in

growth, were killed,
liiiii in his affliction, is to be seen as a frontispiece to Ran-
dolpli's Coruelianum Dolium, 1638, 12nio. In my copy, in
an antique hand, is written —
Young man, take warning by my fate,
To lead a chaste and virtuous life ;
All wanton peats' allurements hate,
And cleave unto thy wedded wife ;
To Cicely, Susan, or to Kate.
So may you 'scape the bitter ills
Of Esculapius' searching pills,"
P. 314. I say you palter : the must three times together.
I wear as sharp steel as another man,
And my fox bites as deep : musted, my dear brother,
Put to the case again.
The editor says — " Musted may perhaps be right, but I
have felt strongly inclined to alter it to 7mst, as the early
possessor of the first 4to. has done." I consider it to be a
corruption of "must de," the d reversed would form d.
See the preceding dialogue — "This nwst he granted."
" Still the must — give me the must^' &c. This change of
the letter is very common, and is just now before me —
"Use elephants and hwhed horses" for barc?ed. Vide
Ford's Perkin Warbeck, act iv, sc. 4.
P. 362. Wore their own faces (though they wore gay clothes),
Without surveying.
I think that the text may be right. "Wore their own
faces," without looking at them in the glass, though they
still wore gay clothes ; an allowable gratification, which
painting the face with false colour was not.
P. 366. "Who kneel."
I can see no necessity for believing, with the modern
editors, that a line has dropt out, seeing the sense is perfect.
P. 379. Leuc. Pare thee well,
Mine own good Bacha, I will make all haste.
BacJia. Just as you are a dozen, I esteem you —
No more.
Mason would read " donor," whose " tameness is shocking"
to Mr. Weber. I would read " doter" (dotard), as used by
Shakespeare {v. Index), and explained by the dictionaries —
a man fondly and weakly in love, as Leucippus was,
" 1 may be cozened, but sure, if I can,
I'll have no doting, but a doing man."
F. Hayman's Quodlibets, p. 29.
P. 407. Oh ! good gods !
What qualities thus pass by us, without reverence.
The word " qualities" is a guess of Sympson's, as " virtues"
is of Seward, and " faculties" of the editor : the original
word being " frailties." Though not believing that " quali-
ties" is the poet's own word, I think the editor has chosen
for the best. " Faculties" does not seem to agree so well
with the phrase "pass by us." If "frailties" is to be
retained, it can only be, by supposing the speech unfinished,
and abruptly stopped by Leon,
P. 407. Bacha. Done with ! Oh, good gods ! &c.
The editor says — "Altered by the editors of 1778 and Weber
to 'Done with himf but previously the 4to. ed. 1635, had
given ' Done with him P " which indeed is the true reading.
P. 393, Your whore you shall never
I would make this a broken speech. In the next line read —
A little left to keep me warm and honest,
omitting the first "me" after "left," which is quite unne-
cessary: "me" occurs five times in five lines, and in this
place belongs not to the poet, but to the printer.
P. 490. 'Tis to murder
The fame of living men, which great ones do
Their studies strangle, SfC.
See the long note and the various interpretations of the
commentators. I would read, " Their studies strang/z;?y,"
by which their reputation and fame are injured or destroyed.
P. 493. " Eaglet [ ]." The editor judiciously fills
up this extraordinary blank with the word " talons," but is
in doubt as to the cause of the omission, which certainly is
not clear, as the sense could not demand a word either im-
proper or obscure. I think it might be by a blunder of the
compositor, who, having wrongly joined the t to " eagle," to
make "eaglet," had only a mutilated word, "alons," which
he declined inserting. " Eagle talons " is the reading I
should adopt.
" When I was about thy years, Hall, I was an
Eagle s talon in the waist." — Vide Henry IF, act ii, sc. 4.
The contrast which Nicodemus makes between his own
power and the insignificance of Cornelius, is diminished
unnecessarily by the diminutive, ear/let (a young eagle).
But perhaps the poet's word was " unces " (claws), which
the printer, not understanding, omitted, thinking it could not
be right. It is a word however authorised by Hey wood.
What if the word was written talents, as not unusually it
was, and the printer did not understand it? See Mr. Dyce's
Marlowe's Tamhmiaine, act ii, sc. 7, p. 51, " with greedy
talents;" and his reference to Love's Labour Lost, act iv,
sc. 2, " If a talent be a claw."
P. 119. March off amain, within an inch o^furcug.
Turn ine o' the toe, like a weathercock.
Other editions, as second 4to and folio, read "tircug;"
Theobald, " firelock ;" Weber, " firecock ;" " but the right
reading," says the editor, "remains yet to be ascertained ;"
— which may be, in my opinion," fire-pluff" In the pre-
ceding line, should not " then " be " there," i. e. in your
understandings ?
P. 139. Let Mims * be angry at their St. Bel-sicagye7- .
The conjectures and authorities cited in the note leave this
singular expression still unexplained. " Belswagger " I
believe to be the same as " Belly-swagger," and that to be
identical with " swag-bellied," as in Othello, act. ii, sc. 3 —
"Your swag-beUied Hollander;" or in Brown's Vulvar Errors
(given by Dr. Richardson), "his swaggy and prominent
belly." The addition of Saint in this passage, and the
mention of church-buckets and engines in the one quoted
from Dryden, would lead us to suppose, that it w^as an
allusion to a braggart or bully connected with the church,
whether as parson or beadle, or in some other place of

authority ; and both passages seem to mfer that it was a
woman s riot. " The suds and dish-water " of this passage,
and "the wife," calhng out in Dryden's Sjjanish Friar, act v.:
" You are a charitable Behwagger. My wife cried out, 'Fire ! fire !' and
you brought out your church-hnckets" &c.
P. 177. — Eun you into questions,
Who huilt the Thames ?
If the reading of this passage be right, I should conceive
that it alluded to the banks of the Thames being (unlike
some other rivers flowing through cities, as the Seine at Paris,
and the Tiber, which have open quays) closely covered with
buildings to the water's edge, as it appears to have been
from very early times.
" Here to the Thames-ward, all along the strand
The stately houses of the nobles stand." — Buhartas, iii, 2.
P. 318. A scornful ^o;«.
The editor, I think correctly, says, " This cannot be the right
reading." — I believe it to be a mere printer's corruption of
" a scornful ?d;ow^-an."* See in a speech, a little previous,
p. 317, ''Fran. You play a scornful woman T again, "Learn
you to play a ivoman not so scornfidly ;" again, " Thou
art too good to be a v:omcm long — Do not find fault with
this, for fear I prove too scornful.'' On the unusual word
gom, as signifying a man, see the editor's note.f
VOL. r.
p. 140. Had it been
To any of a higher strain than you, sir.
The well-known, well-approved, and lov'd Miranda, &c.
I had not thought on't.
I do not feel sure that "higher strain" is not the true
reading, taken in the sense authorised by the dictionaries,
of an arrogant, haughty temperament ; but when Sympson
speaks of the " even temper and disposition of Miranda,"
he forgets his language to Mountferrat,
Tlion liest, thou liest, Mountferrat, thou best basely, &c.

and Mountferrat's speech to him,
I have forgiven and forgot your rashness, &c.
''High " is given by lexicographers in the sense of "proud,
violent, and arrogant" — one of " high heart."
P. 186. A dog stav'd.
A strange and awkward expression. I should be inclined
to read —
Thou art a dog — I will make thee swear — a starvd, mangy, cur dog,
omitting the repetition of " dog " a second time.
Thus I had written ; — but the remembrance of a passage
in 1 Samuel xvii, 43, has made me retain the original text —
"Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves?"
P. 248. "Like two sailing cedars."
This expression occurs again in Lovers Progress, act i, sc. 1,
but I do not know in what other place or author ; and I
am in doubt whether it means (1); — that the overspreading
boughs and expanded umbrage of the cedar resemble the
sails of ships ; (2) — or whether it is used in the sense in
which the ancient poets used i\\Q''piniis'\^ being the material
of which ships were built in the countries of the East, and in
Judaea in old times, as among the Romans, they were con-
structed of fir and pine :" thus, " cava pinus" and '' pontica
pinusy were used for the ship. "Like to the cedar in the
loftie sea," is a line in the old play, Johi a Kent and John
a Cumber, p. 16 ; but it throws little light on the passage,
and perhaps should be read, " Like to the loftie cedar in
the sea."
P. 270. Max. I danger!
I willing to do anything ! I die !
The old editions have "dig ;" "die" was introduced in 1778,
in which reading I quite agree, with the slight change —
I 'm willing to do any thing ; ay, die !
To " dig" does not at all suit the disordered and tem-
pestuous state of Maximus, nor the furious and deep
revenge he meditated. See his previous speech, p. 269,
"Truly spoken!" &c.
P. 400. Perhaps (for the editor thinks the defective
metre should be suppUed,) we should read
I am o^rjoyd, my lord ; indeed I know not
What to reply,
which would not disturb the established text by introducing
so — *' I am so overjoyed," nor require oerjoijd to be altered
to oi'crjoyd.
P. 404. Last line, read —
If I speak
Too much, though I confess it, I speak well.
The metre is thus improved, and "confess" is more gene-
rally used actively. The old reading — " though I confess
I speak well."
P. 415. These stick like comets, blaze eternally,
read " strike like comets." " These blazing starres dread-
full to be scene. "^ — " There no planets strike." — Hamlet,
act i, sc. 1 .
P. 431, What! Monsieur Onos ! the very /;w«/^ of travelling ! —
See Woman Pleased, vol. vii, p. 70 : —

But I shall ^;?««^ you anon, sir."
A learned friend has conjectured " pumpion," from vol. ix,

" Oh ! here 's another purapion, let him loose,"
he means Cacofogo.
P. 449. Your honour 's no whit less, your chastity
No whit impaired, for fair Merione
Is more a virgin yet than all her sex.
Here Agenor's speech should end; and the succeeding
very pathetic exclamation belongs to Merione — "Alas ! 'tis
done ! " The word, too, in which it is expressed, is the
one appropriate to the deed alluded to, as —
" I would have told you in what case I was.
But you must needs be doing."
Ford's 'Tis Pity, ^r. i, 18, ed. Weber.
P. 134. Beaten about the ears with bawling sheepskins,
Cut to the soul /or summer; here an arm lost, &e.
Weber's note is a piece of sheer absurdity. Tlieobald *
reads " Cut to the soul for honor!' My reading is
Cut to the soul for summer-s/wr^.

And all this sport for cheese and chines of dog's flesh.
P. 166. Get thee to school again and talk oj turnips.
Seward, always ready at a random conjecture, proposes
"turn-spits" most unadvisedly. Schoolboys talk of turnips,
as used at games of play. Anne Page says : —
"I had rather be set quick in the earth and bowled to death with turnips."
Vide Merry TVives of Windsor, act iii, s. 4.
A passage from a writer of the present day will illustrate
and confirm the text : —
"After a nephew has children of his own, lives at a distance, and finds
occasion to talk much of oxen and turnips, he ceases to be an object of any
very profound interest." — De (^vii^cy's Autobloff. Sketches, vol. ii, p. 314.
But it may be asked why turmps are mentioned rather
than any other vegetable ? because they were rare at that
time, and lately introduced, in the same manner ^^ potatoes
are alluded to in Shakespeare. A well-informed writer, in
a late work called Table Traits, tells us that " Turnips are
so comparatively new to some parts of England, that theii'
introduction into the northern counties is hardly a century
old." Amherst, of Merchant Tailors', the well-knoMai
satirical writer, declared he was expelled the university,
" because he loved foreign turnips and Presbyterian
bishops." Lord Townshend is well known as having been
* Speaking of Theobald as a critic, Dr. Johnson (in Othello) says, "Theobald
trifles, as is usual." Maloue's accusation against him, that " Mr. Theobald seems
to think that any word may be substituted for another, if thereby sense may be
obtained;" this is hardly just towards one who has done much service to the
dramatic pages : he had better left him to the playful malice of Pope. See the note
on Henry V, p. 41.1, ed. var. We have known when Mr. Malonc has substituted
one word for another, tvifhovt obtaining the sense.
influential in introducing them, to the great improvement
of cultivation in Norfolk : hence Pope's line —
" All Townsheiid's turnips."
Lindsay, Bishop of Kildare, used to say, ''If\ know
anything, it is the management of turnips!'
I may add that the long note on jjofatoes, in the 15th
volume of the Variorum Shakspeare, signed Collins («'. e.
G. Steevens), needs some slight correction. . . . Whenever
this plant is mentioned by Shakespeare, the Convolvulus
hatafes, or sweet potato, is to be understood, not the Solanum
tuberosum, or the one now in common use. The former was
a favourite dish, and in high repute in France, some years
previous to the introduction of the other. Tradescant *
mentioned its becoming rotten in his garden at Lambeth as
soon as winter approached, which identifies the more tender
plant. Perhaps the best account of it is in Loudon's
JEnci/clo]). of Plants, p. 624. The sweet potato is now occa-
sionally imported to England as a curiosity, and may be seen
in the shops of the superior fruiterers and salesmen.
rOL. vii.
P. 248. Whose liard heart never
Slew those rewarders — (second folio).
Seward conjectured,
Whose hard heart never slew
Those ill rewarded.
But there is nothing in this conjecture to compensate its
deviation from the printed text. I am inclined to read — ■
Whose hard heart never slew
Those his ngarders.
Not only are the letters y and w often changed in the
printing, but " regarders " is a word used in subjects
connected with love, as the present -. —
"For it sit every man to have
BegarJe to love, and to his might." — GoWER, C. A.
* I am grateful to certain inhabitants of Lambeth, for having lately renewed
with much taste and care the decayed monument of this early and illustrious

Retoard and regard are so often and so closely joined in
these and other passages, that they may easily be confused
by such printers as were used in these dramatic pieces,
and where there was probably no reader or corrector of the

Bud \\\ your sight unto your son.
See a long and not satisfactory note of the commentators
on the word " bud." The editor more judiciously prints
his conjecture and, not doubting the other word to be a
corruption, in which I agree, believing the b produced by
the preceding word " holdli/ " to have been in the printer's
heedless and hasty eye, which caught up its initial letter.
P. 444. Capt. Up, soldiers, up ! and deal like men.
Citiz. More water,
More water, all is consumed else.
Capt. All is gone

That must preserve and pay your labour bravely.

The editor writes : — " Mason says no amendment is ne-
cessary. . . . Weber gave another arrangement. I have
tried a third, but none is satisfactory. The passage seems
to be corrupted." This corruption, in my judgment,
extends only to a single letter. The captain is urging the
lower kind of citizens to exert themselves to extinguish the
fire. " All," he says, " will be consumed and gone, unless

proof sheets," says Mr. G. Steevens in a note on Othello, " a couple of the most
aecurate compositors in general had substituted palace and less and catch, instead
of tragedy, more, and ensnare." — Vol. xix, p. 402.
you give immediate assistance, and with all other, our
wealth (not ''your'"), which is to preserve you and pay
your labour liberally, will be destroyed." — See the Go-
vernor's speech, a little before, where he uses the same
incitement to them to work.
Good worthy citizens,
Follow me all, and all your powers give to me !
/ will reward you all.
Freedom and wealth to Mm that helps. Follow, oh follow !
Fling wine or any thing. Vll see it reconpeused, &c.
They are now urged in the strongest manner, by being
told that this wealth, which is held out as furnishing their
reward, is also in equal danger of being destroyed.
So read : —
Capt. All is gone. —
"Unless you undertake it straight. Our wealth too,
That must preserve and pay your labour bravely ; —
Up, up, away !"
P. 501. Read—
She 'f? have laid hands on her own life.
I do not see that anything is lost, as the editors of 1778
assert. Both the folios read " have ;" the editor adopts
Mason's correction, " had."
P. 123. Altho' it be a tveiyhty ceremony.
Although, as is said in the note (for the old editions read
•^^ witty"), that wit and wisdom were, in the language of those
days, synonymous terms, so that any number of examples
might be quoted (Reed, in his note, saying too cautiously,
" other examples might be produced "), yet it cannot with
any propriety be introduced into this place ; and the editor
accordingly has printed as I conceive the poet wrote : the
two words, from their similarity in somid and in spelling,
being easily confounded. In Marlowe's Tamhurlaine, act ii,
sc. 4, '' Tcmh. Are you the loitty King of Persia?" for
P, 257. Slth tliat thou art dishonest, false of faith.
The first folio, " sigh," and so the modern editions; l>ut with
great disregard to the poetical sense, which is deeply
injured, and overlooking the cause of the typographical
ciTor.— " Sith," for since, " sithe " for sigh, and then
" sigh." Though I do not see " sithe" for sigh in Richard-
son's Dictionari/, it is a legitimate word, and invariably used
in the Eastern Counties dialect, where " sigh " is seldom
heard. See J. Hawes's Temple of Glas, iiii : —
"Then young folkes cryed and often sythed.'"
See the Knave in Grain, p. 22 : —
" Like another rousing sigJdh,
Would w^ell split me, gay and blithe."
the old ed. 1640 wrongly has siffh.
