Small School, Big Heart. Students and staff at Cascia Hall Preparatory School have raised more than $600 to keep a brother and sister -- who are not associated with the school -- from being evicted from their apartment.
Rachel Hurtado, a sophomore at Cascia, organized the effort. "Rachel's the one who put this together," said Roger Carter, the school's headmaster.
According to the Rev. John Sotak, the chaplain at Cascia Hall, Hurtado became aware of this brother and sister due to her involvement in the St. Zita Catholic Worker community, which is dedicated to helping the poor. "They knew of this brother and sister whose parents died during January. ... They did not have money to pay for their rent."
Carter said Cascia holds a missions collection every Wednesday. "Usually our mission collection goes to our missions in Peru," Sotak added.
However, on Feb. 6 the school decided to donate the money raised to keep the brother and sister in their home. They raised $627 dollar, according to Sotak.
Both Carter and Sotak praised Hurtado for making the school aware of the situation and organizing the action. Sotak noted that much of the school's service "has become student-driven, which is wonderful."
Sotak said he doesn't anticipate collections like this becoming commonplace, but he noted, "As needs arise, we will certainly do what we can to help."
Platt Fires up the Grill. The Culinary Institute at Platt College, 3801 S. Sheridan Rd., begins its 2013 Culinary Artistry Series on Feb. 23 with a class teaching parents and children how to make pizza.
The Culinary Artistry Series is a set of one-off classes, each focusing on a single topic.
While not all classes are appropriate for children -- April's class is all about wine! -- Platt College said in a release that they all offer individual time with chefs.
Classes are offered about once a month. They last two or three hours and cover topics such as sauces, plating, grilling, and preparing holiday meals.
Each class costs $50. A schedule and more information are available by calling Chef Jeff Howard at 918-828-0980.
Check It Out. Downtown library patrons can expect the library to be closed for renovations beginning sometime in the spring, with a temporary site expected to open at West 11th Street and South Denver Avenue.
But any inconvenience will hopefully pay off with new features at the Central Library. The public is invited to hear a presentation from architects on plans for a re-imagining of the building.
"A garden, new fixed-seating auditorium and group study rooms are just some of the highlights," according to an announcement about the public showcase.
Architects with Meyer, Scherer, & Rockcastle will showcase their plans Feb. 19 at 6pm at the Central Library.
Of the Neighborhood, By the Neighborhood. A quadruple homicide in January put a harsh spotlight on the neighborhood near East 61st Street and South Peoria Avenue.
But the attention of a new quality-of-life task force studying how to improve the neighborhood may be a first step in making things better.
The Tulsa City Council on Feb. 7 unanimously approved creating such a task force to be chaired by Councilor Jeannie Cue.
She said it's important to reach out to those who live in the area to participate.
"Whatever project we do in that area, we have to have citizens' involvement," Cue told the council. Some talk has been about creating a community center for the neighborhood, with Cue noting that she's been trying to find a source of funding for such a project.
Along with addressing concerns about safety, Cue also noted a lack of medical professionals to serve the community, which includes a large concentration of apartment buildings for low-income tenants.
Tips Appreciated. Public safety intelligence involves not just getting sources to open up about crime.
It also involves keep track of information and sharing it with the right people.
Councilor G.T. Bynum listed recommendations of the Public Safety Intelligence Working Group at a Feb. 7 council committee meeting.
On the list was purchasing a new records management system for the Tulsa Police Department.
"We're still utilizing a system that city engineers built in 1976," Bynum told the committee. "And because of that there's difficulty. One, it's outdated, two, you can't enter proactive information into it. There's not ability to share data ... with other law enforcement agencies."
The issue came up in the first meeting of the working group, which Bynum said was convened to "really look at how we can develop more anonymous tips coming into our tip line, and, two, how can we better process the tips that do come in."
The Crime Prevention Network, a local nonprofit, operates the Crime Stoppers tip line for Tulsa. Bynum said the group has been doing so without city funding, something the working group recommended should change.
"The City of Tulsa should enter into a new contract with the Crime Prevention Network," Bynum said. He didn't specify an amount as part of the group's recommendation, but said that the city "should guarantee some minimal level of funding."
Another recommendation from the group involved the city's Management Review Office doing an analysis on the costs and benefits of having Crime Stoppers call takers based in Tulsa. Currently, calls are answered in Texas to save money.
The group also recommended that police officers all be given business cards with information about the tip line to be handed out at crime scenes.
Another recommendation involved looking at creating some sort of local witness protection program.
"The DA, he's really just starting the early stages of looking at this," Bynum said.
Bynum said he will bring the recommendations to the Feb. 14 council meeting in hopes the council will pass a resolution in support of the group's findings.
Anonymous tips may be submitted to 918-596-COPS, or by text to 274637. The text message should begin with "TPD918." More information on submitting anonymous tips is available at okcpn.org/plan/crime-stoppers.
Certified to Give. Two women active in Tulsa's nonprofit community have been officially "Certified in Volunteer Administration."
Stephanie Huston, director of volunteer services with the Oklahoma Blood Institute, and Jenny McElyea, volunteer coordinator with the Tulsa-area command of The Salvation Army, earned the distinction from the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration.
The certification required completion of a portfolio reviewed by a panel of professionals, as well as a two-hour exam related to resource management.
Huston and McElyea will receive pins recognizing their accomplishment during the Feb. 14 meeting of Volunteer Tulsa's Community Volunteer Council.
According to Brenda Michael-Haggard, Volunteer Tulsa's executive director, only 15 professionals in Oklahoma have so far earned this distinction.

TALLAHASSEE -- The budget shutdown that wounded the Republican brand last week also inflicted pain on the GOP in Florida: The party lost a seat held for decades by Republicans, and Gov. Rick Scott was hit with a hurdle to his reelection strategy.
The governor has spent the last six months distancing himself from his February decision to embrace taking $51 billion from the federal government to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and the disastrous enrollment rollout appeared to help Republicans keep the issue from returning in the next legislative session.
That might have been easy if Republican Bill Gunter had won last Tuesday's House District 36 race. Instead, the Pasco County seat was won by Amanda Murphy, a Democrat and political newcomer with impeccable timing.
The governor stayed away from the race, as polls showed his popularity in the district was painfully low. But, while special elections are rarely bellwethers in Florida, the results suggest that among a significant slice of the electorate — especially independents — support for the Affordable Care Act can be a winning message. That's a troubling sign for Scott, who remains strongly opposed to Obamacare, though he supports taking the federal money.
"What it means in 2014 is the issue of Obamacare is going to be front and center during the legislative session. It's on everybody's minds," said Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-Land O'Lakes, the head of the House committee on healthcare reform and architect of that chamber's hard-line opposition to Medicaid expansion.
Gunter, 43, a Presbyterian minister, was the hand-picked candidate of House Republican leaders and came out forcefully against taking federal money to expand Medicaid. He drew more Republican voters than Murphy drew Democrats, but independents, and moderates who crossed party lines, gave her the victory margin.
Murphy was outspent three to one, yet won on the force of an endorsement from former Rep. Mike Fasano, the populist Republican whom she replaces in the swing district. He praised her message of moderation on healthcare reform and education and called Murphy the "independent voice" that would protect "the little gal and little guy."
It was the kind of bipartisan cooperation that disgusted voters weren't hearing from Washington. Murphy won by just over 300 votes. She also did something Democrats in Florida had not done before — defeat a candidate who turned out more Republicans than Democrats.
Corcoran, who is slated to become House speaker in 2016, is conducting a "forensic audit" and a post-election poll to analyze the District 36 results. He said he expects they will show that while Fasano's endorsement helped Murphy with independent voters, Gunter won voters over age 60 across the board.
For Democrats, the lesson learned last week went beyond healthcare and offered clues for the governor's race.
Murphy, 43, a financial advisor, reached independents and moderate Republicans by talking about healthcare and the governor's policies on property insurance and education, said Christian Ulvert, the Democrat's political director. "We learned how to use a governor who is unpopular and who is on the wrong side of policies for a lot of families and used it to open up a conversation with independents."

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Mordecai Richler (RIHK-lur) was a major Canadian novelist who treated contemporary mores with a mixture of amusement and censure. One of two sons of Moses Isaac Richler and Lily (Rosenberg) Richler, he grew up in the area around St. Urbain's Street, a milieu he frequently re-created in his novels and especially in his collection of stories, The Street. After loafing through Baron Byng High School (depicted as Fletcher's Field in his fiction), he attended Sir George Williams College but withdrew in 1951. He spent most of the next twenty years abroad, at first living squalidly in Paris and then settling in London. Visits to Spain produced a fascination with that country that is manifested in several of his books. He was married twice, the first marriage ending in divorce and the second, in 1960, lasting until his death and producing five children.
His first novel, The Acrobats, is set in Valencia in April, 1951. This melodramatic novel, in places blatantly reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway's novels about Spain, incorporates several motifs that recur in Richler's work: alienated Jews, a sinister German, and a protagonist who feels trapped between the older generation, with its traditional values, and younger, iconoclastic rebels. Surprised at its success, Richler subsequently expressed a dislike for the book, though he continued to...

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
Mordecai Richler was born on January 27, 1931, in the Jewish ghetto of east Montreal. His parents Moses and Lily made sure their son received a solid Jewish education first at United Talmud Torah and then at Baron Byng High School in Montreal. He attended Sir George Williams University from 1949 to 1951 but left school to work as a writer in London, England, and later worked briefly as a news editor for the Canadian Broadcasting Company. For almost twenty years he resided in London, publishing much of his work there. In 1972, Richler returned to Montreal, where he settled with his wife and children. For ten years Richler was a member of the editorial board of the Book-of-the-Month Club. After his return to Canada, he published works whose spiritual center was still Montreal, though their scope is broader. Otherwise, his writing was devoted to essays, articles, and reviews; many of these—funny, biting, and wearily resigned—were collected in his book Broadsides (1990). Richler died in Montreal on July 3, 2001

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Mordecai Richler was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1931, in the heart of the Jewish ghetto. His father was a junk dealer and his mother was a housewife (in later years, she wrote a book about her life). Her father was a rabbi whose influence ensured an Orthodox household. By turning away from Orthodoxy at a young age, however, Richler ran into trouble at home, which perhaps accounts for some of his perceptive but acerbic reflections on family life. Further compounding his problems as a youth, his parents divorced when he was thirteen years old. As a response to the breakdown at home, Richler joined a Zionist labor group called Habonim and dreamed of settling in Palestine. Only later did he go to Israel as a journalist.
In his adolescent years, Richler attended Baron Byng High School, a predominantly Jewish school even though it was part of the Protestant school system. In his stories and novels it is transformed into Fletcher's Field High School and peopled with characters known to Richler in his youth. After high school, Richler attended Sir George Williams University in Montreal (now Concordia University) because his high school grades were not good enough to gain him admittance to McGill University. Although he later returned to Sir George as writer-in-residence, the academic life did not appeal to him. He once remarked that "academe, like girls, whiskey, and literature, promised better than it paid." Rejecting a life of scholarship, Richler...

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Mordecai Richler was born in a Jewish section of Montreal. His education at Jewish parochial schools reinforced his Jewish identity, and the French language that he spoke identified him as French Canadian. Richler would embrace neither identity comfortably.
He began writing seriously when he was fourteen. At about the same time, he rejected the family expectation that he become a rabbi and ceased his religious training. After high school, Richler attended Sir George Williams University in Montreal for two years, then grew restive and left for Paris in 1951 to join such other aspiring writers as Mavis Gallant and Terry Southern. The separation from his beginnings helped to sharpen the perspective on his heritage. He knew that escape from the past is impossible and even undesirable. After two years, an invitation to become writer-in-residence at his alma mater attracted him back to Montreal.
The Acrobats introduced concerns that would recur in much of Richler's later fiction: the place of Jews in contemporary society, the need for values, and the exercise of personal responsibility. Deciding that he would make his living solely by writing, Richler moved to England, where his next six novels were published. Most of these novels revealed their author as a severe, often shocking critic of the Jewish ghetto (Son of a Smaller...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Mordecai Richler (RIHCH-lur) was born on January 27, 1931, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the son of Moses Isaac and Lily Rosenberg Richler. His Polish grandfather, whose name, Reichler, was misspelled by an immigration officer, came to Canada in 1904 to escape the pogroms of Eastern Europe accompanying the Russo-Japanese War and settled with other Jewish immigrants in the east end of Montreal. Richler's grandfather was a peddler, and his father operated a junkyard.
Richler grew up in a narrow, self-contained Jewish society that feared both French-and English-Canadians. He attended Jewish parochial school, studying the Talmud and modern Hebrew, and was expected to become a Hasidic rabbi like his maternal grandfather. Through his English-language instructors, he learned of the world beyond the Jewish ghetto and rejected orthodox religion.
His parents, who had long had an unhappy marriage, were divorced in 1944. In response to the disruption in his family life, Richler joined Habonim, a Zionist labor group, and dreamed of settling in Palestine. Many of Richler's protagonists are also the products of broken homes. The autobiographical basis of much of Richler's fiction becomes clear in the details of Montreal Jewish ghetto life provided in the autobiography of his mother, writing as Leah Rosenberg, The Errand Runner: Reflections of a...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Mordecai Richler's novels are satirical attacks upon the sins of his times, but his approach to his fiction denies his readers any sense of moral superiority, rubbing their noses in the excesses of the twentieth century. Richler is an unusual novelist because he is moralistic without being didactic or sentimental. He has no pretensions to having any answers to life's dilemmas, content merely to pose the questions. Richler's fiction is as notable for its compassion as much as its anger. Making rogues such as Duddy Kravitz and Harry Stein sympathetic is typical of his greatest talent: his skill at vivid characterization.

The media representatives were welcomed to the Muller Martini stand by CEO Bruno Müller and corporate management member Felix Stirnimann. With an allusion to all the walking done by visitors at the drupa site, Bruno Müller introduced Muller Martini's slogan of drupa 2012: "Fitness". "Today's market environment in the graphic arts industry represents a great challenge for all market players," Bruno Müller said at the press conference. "Those wanting to be and stay successful need to be fit. They need to stay on top of their game and regularly adapt their performance to changes on the market."
Media representatives showed great interest in the international press conference at the Muller Martini stand, where CEO Bruno Müller introduced Muller Martini's slogan of drupa 2012: "Fitness".
Click here for more impressions from the press conference and the second day at drupa.
By "fitness", Muller Martini means the ability to adapt flexibly to market needs, to recognize market opportunities quickly and to make the most of them. According to Bruno Müller, that is very much in the spirit of Charles Darwin's "survival of the fittest", according to which those species survive that adapt successfully to the environment, rather than those that defy everything and eliminate other species. "The structural transformation of the media industry is putting pressure on the graphic arts industry to change," he noted.
"Take Even Better Advantage of Future Opportunities"In the graphic arts industry, being fit today also means being digital ready. "Digital printing provides a multitude of opportunities to optimize production and to meet the needs of readers or advertising customers even more fully," the CEO said. "Yet offset technology is also far from having exhausted its potential in terms of cost-effectiveness and quality. That is why, as the manufacturer of print finishing machines, we would like to assist our customers in taking even greater advantage of opportunities in both offset and digital printing in the future."
Next Felix Stirnimann informed the trade journalists about the machines shown at the drupa stand and in what areas of print finishing Muller Martini is helping to make its customers fit for the future. "At our stand visitors will find a number of new machines and several systems that are used in traditional offset printing and have been further developed to make them digital ready."
The trade journalists showed great interest in the SigmaLine, which consistently makes the most of the advantages of digital printing.He outlined the advantages of the four machines unveiled for the first time at drupa 2012: the Alegro (perfect binder), the FlexLiner (newspaper inserting system), the FlexPack (stack formation system), and the Ventura MC Compact (book sewing machine), which can be operated by a single person. According to Felix Stirnimann, a prime example of how Muller Martini further develops its established systems to be digital ready is the Diamant MC Hybrid bookline, the ideal solution for photo books and on-demand production. "Motion Control technology ensures top quality from the very first book, which is vital for one-off production."
Live Demo at the SigmaLineAndy Fetherman, product manager of Muller Martini USA, then accompanied the media representatives to the SigmaLine and presented the fully integrated, total industrial solution for digital book production in more detail. The SigmaLine, which was launched at drupa 2004, has been continuously developed since, always keeping pace with the innovations of digital printing press manufacturers. The first SigmaLine has resulted in a fully integrated complete solution that manages ultra-short runs flexibly and cost-effectively. The journalists saw firsthand how graphic arts companies can make themselves fit for the challenges of today and tomorrow with a combination of the SigmaLine and the Pantera Digital perfect binder. "The SigmaLine makes consistent use of the advantages of digital printing and links digital printing and print finishing to a unique complete system," Andy Fetherman said. That enables fully automated production in a single work process, from the PDF to the completed book."

In a capital murder case, I want to question the jurors during voir dire about my client's four prior robbery convictions. I am doing so because I wish to let the jury know everything, strip the jury down, so I can get a true sense of who will oppose death and who will oppose life. My client is not testifying, so normally his prior robbery convictions would not be admissible. Can I do so?

Peru Tours
- Machu Picchu
- Sacred Valley
- Lake Titicaca
- Colca Canyon
- Nazca Lines
- Amazon Rainforest
Cradle to the vast Incan Empire, the largest in pre-Colombian America, Peru's power and gold attracted the Spanish conquistadores who used it to fund their own vast empire in the Americas. As a result colonial gems like magnificent Cuzco were built on Incan foundations, making for a fascinating hybrid culture. Peru is peppered with Incan sites, but none so famous as the lost city of Machu Picchu, whose breathtaking image seems to grace every brochure and travel book. Peru has been blessed with natural gifts as well: a huge chunk of Amazon rainforest falls within its bounds, and visitors can hike through jungle, trek in the Andes, and surf the northern beaches all in the same week. Cap it off with Lake Titicaca, one of the highest lakes in the world, and you've only just begun to scratch the surface.
To view interactive route maps, wildlife guides and photographs of these life changing trips, please visit our Peru Trekking & Inca Trail Page.

Good idea, this board could use it!king_oxymoron wrote:Hello and welcome to the 2009 Edition of the popular UKMIX feature 'Reasons to Like'. This has been done twice before by me, in 2004 and 2005 - so I think it's high time we started saying nice things about each other again!
The first time this ever happened, people were wary about whether we COULD keep negativity out of the topic, and it was due to the maturity of our members that we managed to have a really nice thread where people could appreciate others saying the things that made them smile about other members.
I'd like this year to be much the same. If you don't have anything nice to say about the person in question, please just remain silent, everyone will respect you much more!
So the only rules to tell you of are that every couple of days I will post the name of one of the UKMIX members, and you have to say what it is that you like about that person. It could not be simpler!
This time around rather than picking at random, I'm going to start with the member with the most posts and work my way down through the list, doing every person who is still a regular here!
So, what are your reasons to like our very own TIGER?

As a moderator, he is very fair and not biased. There's not much you could say negative about him.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Now that the U.S. Justice Department's criminal probe of BP PLC is resolved, the company faces billions of dollars more in civil penalties for its role in the 2010 massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Tuesday, a federal judge agreed to let the London-based oil giant plead guilty to manslaughter charges for 11 rig workers' deaths and pay a record $4 billion in penalties.
Next up in the case is a civil trial designed to identify what caused a BP well to blow out in April 2010, triggering an explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig and spilling more than 200 million gallons of oil, much of it into the Gulf.
The trial also is intended to assign percentages of blame to BP and its partners.

In-depth BiographyPunk revivalist quartet Billy Talent used to be known as Pezz back in their Streetsville, Ontario, high-school days. But by 1999, the quartet -- vocalist Ben Kowalewicz, guitarist Ian D'Sa, bassist Jon Gallant, and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk -- had adopted a new moniker and were making their way in Toronto with the self-released Watoosh! LP under their belt. The Try Honesty EP followed in 2001; it led to strong local buzz, exposure supporting larger touring acts, and an eventual demo deal with EMI. The band entered the studio in early 2003 with producer Gavin Brown and emerged with its eponymous debut in July, which was slated for a September release on Atlantic. Billy Talent got the word out during that summer with a slot on Lollapalooza and a series of dates with the Buzzcocks. Before they knew it, the band had not only garnered an impressive following, but also a slew of Juno (Best New Group, Group of the Year and Album of the Year) and MuchMusic (Best Video, Best Rock Video) Awards to their name. Billy Talent hit the studio in February 2005 to begin work on their sophomore offering. Submitting to fan requests, the group re-released Pezz's Watoosh! that September before the highly anticipated and explosive II appeared in June 2006. A handful of festivals and U.K. dates were played prior to spending the rest of the summer on the Warped Tour, and in 2007, they preserved a live performance at Düsseldorf, Germany, on CD and DVD with 666 Live. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

RE: Gilbert Gordon Alexander memorial
Meredith, I was glad to do it. As I live very close to Decatur Cemetery, please let me know if I can help you with anything on my end. Also, the staff in the cemetery office here are very helpful and forthcoming with information.

Gilbert Gordon Alexander memorial
I was fulfilling a photo request from another contributor of several of your Alexander ancestors when I came across his grave and found that he had not been documented. I wanted to transfer his memorial to you as I saw the extensive work you've done documenting your family genealogy.

Nathaniel Harris
Hi Meredith, thanks for your comments about Nathaniel. I am indeed a descendant, too. :)
I'll write a proper bio for him soon. I've been putting it off this past year with the hope that it won't be long before we have more information about his ancestry from DNA. I have a bunch of DNA matches to people who descend from Nathaniel through his daughter Abigail but it all still needs refining (especially separating the Harris bits from the Brooks bits, which are all very small at that distance).
If you've done an autosomal DNA test somewhere, look for my Mom at GEDmatch - she's M343009. The more data the better! -S

Thomas Harris
We are connected by Thomas Harris's marriage to Martha Moffett. Her parents are my 5th great grandparents. My question is do you have any information on Mary Elizabeth Harris the wife of John Moffett Simpson? She was born in 1815 in South Carolina and died Nov. 4, 1884 in Wallerville, Union County, Mississippi. John and Mary are my 3rd great grandparents and I have been unable to find who her parents were. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

RE: Abrams in Bonaventure Cem., Savannah, GA
Hi Meredith,
I am not related to half of the people I have put into Find A Grave, although my sister and I have been working on our Family Tree for over 30 years now. I love a challenge though, every now and then. One thing you might do, is Call Bonaventure Office, 912 651-6843, where the cemetery records are kept. They should be able to pull the card, where the burial lot was purchased and can normally tell you by whom it was purchased. It is possible, since the Abrams lived in Glynn County, Ga, that she purchased the lot the day after he died, for him to be buried in Savannah. Therefore, the lot would be in her name. They are very helpful and do not mind looking up information for you. Give them a call, they are open M - F from 8 - 5 with paid staff and volunteers. They are also open on Saturday, but run solely by volunteers. Not sure what their Saturday office hours are. The City of Savannah owns the cemetery so the information is public record.
I'm sorry I do not live in Savannah or I would check it out for you. I was born in Savannah and raised in Pooler, GA, which is about 13 miles west of Savannah, in case you are not familiar with the area. I love that old cemetery. It is beautiful. However, for the last 22 years I have lived in Orange Park, FL, 2 1/2 hrs. away, so it is not so convenient for me to go and do research as often as I would like.
Looks like you have gathered quite a bit of info.
Good luck with your hunting! In the meantime, I will keep an eye out and if I come across anything else, I will definitely forward it to you.

RE: Mrs. J. B. Abrams/Irene Putzel Abrams #101347106
Hi Meredith,
The information below was what I found in the Bonaventure Cemetery Keeper's book.
I didn't know if you were related to the Abrams, but I came across the burial info in the Bonaventure Cemetery book and wanted to share. I was adding another memorial to Find A Grave and as I was double checking myself, came across your entry. I don't know why, but I just checked to see if there was a name for Mrs. J. B. Abrams. Of course, there was not, but I at least found the death date and thought that may be of some help to you to determine which of the "3" she was.
Good luck with your hunting, hope it helped.

For those who can make it, don't miss the auction on Wednesday (14 Dec), at The Plymouth Auction Rooms.
There is a good selection of Lenkiewicz originals. Apart from many drawings, there are a few watercolours and some early oils. Some highlights:
51 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on canvas 'Self Portrait with Eliza in Red' signed 35cm x29cm. £4,000 - £6,000.
I think this is in fact a gouache, but a great one, from the 1970's. The "Self Portrait" is apparently a tiny reflection of the painter in the glass behind Eliza.
89 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) watercolour 'Portrait of Brenda' circa 1970, signed , 37cm x 33cm Provenance Brenda was a Patient of a local psychiatrist living in Plymouth. £300 - £500
The estimate could make this the best bargain in the auction!
99 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) water colour study 'Esther' signed and titled 40cm x 26cm £1,000 - £1,200
47 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on canvas, Untitled, Self Portrait with Mirror' signed top right corner and also to verso, unframed 60cm x 82cm Provenance, acquired directly from the artist. £2,000 - £3,000
Robert looks so pleased, wonder what he was thinking of?
48 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on canvas 'Old Snowy' 70cm x 55cm signed twice to verso and inscribed 'Study, Old Snowy, Project 15, Death' Provenance, acquired directly from the artist £8,000 - £10,000
No comments necessary. Outstanding.
50 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on canvas 'Bianca Ciambriello' signed and titled to verso 62cm x 62cm £10,000 - £12,000
69 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on board 'Landscape, Trees by the Lake' 48cm x 40cm, signed and inscribed to verso 'Landscape, Project 19, Study Trees by the Lake, 9 - 9.45pm July, EX2', housed in a deep black frame £7,000 - £9,000
One of the magical landscape paintings.
73 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on board 'Painter with Yana' 48cm x 40cm signed and inscribed to verso 'Painter with Yana, St Antony Theme' £3,500 - £4,000.
85 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on canvas 'The Painter with Jenny Gibson' signed twice to verso, titled and also inscribed 'Double Series '88, 65cm x 60cm, unframed £7,000 - £9,000
93 ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) oil on board 'Mouse, Blue Coat' 51cm x 61cm, Mouse was Lenkiewicz' s first wife whom he met in 1961 at St. Martins School of Art. Provenance, purchased Bearne's Studio Sale 12th April 2008, Lot 193, later restored. £2,500 - £3,000
Those of us who saw this at the Exeter auction remember how sad it was seeing the board broken horisontally. The restoration appears to have been successful in mending the break. There has also been some fairly heavy restoration of the damaged paint, especially in the lower part.
Good luck!

Professional sports teams in general seem to leave much to be desired when it comes to digital marketing.
They all seem to have overly complicated looking websites with giant splash pages, big background images and loads of advertising.
Many teams also seem to follow no best practices when it comes to email marketing, with hard to find sign-up forms, no segmentation and terrible designs.
There is one sports team which continually scores highly in my books, though: Manchester City Football Club. Here's what I like.

There are many factors that influence whether or not people bother to open your marketing emails or not.
Email frequency, brand affinity and time of day are all influential, as is the subject line that marketers opt for.
The precise wording will vary depending on the brand identity and the product offer, but the basic aim is to grab the reader's attention and make them interested enough to clickthrough and find out more.
To help get to the bottom of what makes up the best subject line, I've rounded up a few case studies and infographics that try to shed some light on the topic.

Signing up to receive a retailer's email newsletters always seems like a good idea at the time, but it's almost inevitable that at some point the relationship will sour and you'll be forced to search for the unsubscribe button.
And although marketers would obviously rather do everything in their power to prevent people from opting out of their email list, it's in their best interest to make it a simple process otherwise it can harm the brand's image and make it appear spammy.
To find out whether this is true in reality, I tried to opt-out of email newsletters from several fashion retailers.
This post follows on from posts examining the initial sign up process and how retailers handle welcome emails...

Just over one in five (22%) commercial emails sent globally on the first half of 2013 never made it to the subscriber's inbox, according to a new report from Return Path.
This means that billions of messages sent with the intended recipient's permission were either bumped into the spam folder or, more commonly, didn't reach the inbox at all.
Furthermore, the global inbox placement rate actually declined slightly versus the first half of 2012, dropping 4% year-on-year.
Obviously on the plus side the good news is that 78% of marketing messages do reach their intended recipient.
Deliverability is one of the topics covered in our Email Marketing Census 2013. According to the responding companies (58%) clean and up-to-date lists have the biggest impact on improving deliverability, and this has increased by 4% since 2012.

Email is a consistently effective method of driving sales, so having a large database of customer addresses is a powerful tool for ecommerce businesses.
In fact our Email Census 2013 found that more than half of responding companies achieve 10% of their sales directly from email marketing.
All ecommerce businesses have a sign up form somewhere on their homepage, though the precise method of subscribing varies between each site.
To find out the most effective way of collecting customer information, I signed up to email newsletters from 16 major online fashion retailers.

With the explosion of mobile devices in recent years, your email campaign could be opened at any time and in a much wider variety of locations and situations than a few years ago, when practically all emails were checked on a desktop computer.

Many retailers are currently slashing prices to try and shift their remaining summer stock before they get the winter threads in, and as a result my inbox is overflowing with tempting deals.
Reiss has been one of the most persistent brands and its email offers of 50% off are by no means unwelcome.

In a recent study, easyJet emerged as the third best email marketer of the UK's top retailers while Ryanair finished among the lowest scorers of the benchmark.
easyJet has had a more interesting 'marketing journey' than most, it's fair to say. The brand has come a long way since it first burst onto primetime television in 1999 as part of fly-on-the-wall documentary, Airline.

Just in time for election season (which, as a multiyear event now, is far longer than a season), a few advocacy groups are putting forth their views about what U.S. manufacturing needs. One of the most concise reports comes from the Georgia Tech and Council on Competitiveness, which released its report last week. Boiled down, the report says U.S. manufacturing needs improved infrastructure, simpler taxation and regulations, more skilled talent, and a focused industrial policy.
Many of those policies hit home for the nation's larger manufacturers, and they're indirectly important for the contract metal fabricators and other smaller companies that supply those OEMs. But skilled labor hits home for everybody.

A man's mental health issues are linked to similar problems in his offspring.
A study of more than 31,000 Norwegian children finds 3% of their fathers had high levels of psychological distress while the babies were still in utero.
There was a strong link between an expectant fathers' stress levels and emotional and behavioral problems when the kids reached age 3.
The study authors suggest identifying potential mental health problems during pregnancy can give doctors a chance to treat children as soon as possible.

Seven Days Says:
Northern Stage produces Oscar Wilde's comedy about a man's double life within the constraints of Victorian society.
Assumed Identities
Imaginary friends are common among children. If fictional personae manifest in adulthood, however, the stakes are different. The main characters in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest assume varying degrees of alter egos, which are realized within the play's comedic content and witty banter — much of which coyly satirizes the social conventions of London's Victorian era. Carol Dunne directs Northern Stage's production of Wilde's most famous work, with Brough Hansen as Jack in the country and Ernest in the city. When the protagonist's double life becomes too difficult to maintain, a complex series of events proves that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

At least 15 people belonging to the musical group Kombo Kolombia went missing after giving a private Thursday night performance at a bar in Hidalgo municipality north of Monterrey. All of the band's musicians are Mexicans.
A source with the Nuevo Leon State Investigation Agency said late Friday that relatives of the missing musicians had filed a report with authorities. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted by the news media.
Family members of the missing say they lost telephone contact with their loved ones early Friday. When they went to the bar to investigate, all they found were the band members' vehicles.
