As we wobble out of both the Mercury & Mars retrogrades respectively…and after three life-changing eclipses to boot…it's relatively safe to say that we are now moving into a pretty extensive turn-around period.
After nearly three months of patiently observing and nurturing the Mother of our (core/inner child) wounding…specifically where those wounds meet our physicality…and while fully present to the extraordinary cosmic & celestial midwife mechanism assisting us all to birth New Life, we now move into a necessary adjustment period. We are only just beginning to reorient our life force as the flow of energy shifts from the internal to external world and this is bringing relative shifts to our consciousness that we need to be fully present to at this time.
We've spent several weeks without solid footing and so its no accident that we begin our new journey with the support of the earthy Virgo sun which will help us to graciously find our feet again. This will be quite a boon as we exit the corridor of a lifetime…quite literally in that we are walking out of our old skins, releasing ourselves from the final degrees of suffering, and simultaneously stepping into our new/True skins.
Those pioneering the New World consciousness have spent the last six years (from 2012 onward) in utter dedication to expunging every expired aspect of the lower self from the matrix of human survival and now, in the final quarter of 2018 we prepare to transition to a new evolutionary spiral born of the Sacred Trinity.
For those who did the (inner) work to clear the way forward it is time to bring our physicality beyond duality, to draw from the limitless supply of life force available and needed to brave new lives from the blueprint of our pre-created plan. This now becomes possible thru what's known as triangulation…or the trinitization of Creation.
Up until now/this moment/this year, our wholehearted focus was on bringing ourselves into divine feminine-masculine balance…now/this moment/next year the focus turns to developing the Trinity principal…living the divine inner child (out loud), Creating as LOVE.
Our new journey involves constructing a real life in complete harmony with, and extension of our True Selves. Not to be confused with the karmic life we (also) created to play out our reclamation journey, this (second) life is the result of synthesis…the balance point of our male-female/internal-external/human-divine energies born of the consecration of the Mystical Marriage that kicked off back in March/April.
If you can't remember back that far…and who can…the Mystical Marriage (of the lower & higher self) initiates the immaculate conception and gives rise to the divine Mother (principal) in each of us so that we can gestate, birth and nourish the Holy Child within.
This trinitization process has been playing-out/building-up/gestating all year long…was turbo charged thru the great eclipse trinity, and now…those who have consummated their inner union are preparing to give birth to the sacred third entity, the rememberment of GOD embodied.
This is our ULTIMATE mission here on earth, to model the triangulation principal…to BE the Trinity. To embody the carefree child (Son) of GOD who creates thru the inner spark of life (force) and to deliver those creations to the world guided by the unionization of our inner Holy Parents.
We are setting the stage for THE life we came to Create, and as with every cycle of new/true creation, that begins with a feeling. ⇊

Anxiety in Children's Epilepsy Tied to Differences in Brain Structure
Children with both epilepsy and anxiety have volumetric brain changes similar to those found in nonepileptic patients with anxiety, according to new research presented at the 30th International Epilepsy Congress (IEC).
"Frequently, anxiety in epilepsy is viewed as a result of the unpredictability of seizures and is not treated," said Jana Jones, PhD, assistant professor in neuropsychology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison.
"But the results of this study suggest that there is a presence of an abnormal underlying neural biology that may be affecting some subcortical and cortical regions implicated in anxiety."
"The clinical implication of this finding is that evidenced-based treatments for anxiety disorders should be utilized in children with epilepsy and anxiety, particularly if the neurobiology is similar in individuals with anxiety regardless of seizure status."
The research involved 88 children with epilepsy (24 with anxiety and 64 without) and 50 control participants without epilepsy or anxiety who were first-degree cousins of the epilepsy patients.
The median age of participants was between 12 and 13 years old.
Age at seizure onset for those with anxiety was about 12 years old, and for participants without anxiety, about 11 years old.
"Children with epilepsy were assessed within 12 months of their diagnosis, had normal neurological exams and normal clinical MRI," said Jones.
For the study, all participants and their parents took part in a semi-structured psychiatric interview (Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia).
In terms of types of anxiety disorders that were identified, "the most frequent diagnosis was specific phobia, and then second was separation anxiety, followed by social phobia and generalized anxiety disorder," she said. "Many of the children had more than one anxiety disorder, or a depressive disorder was also present."
Participants were also given T1 MRI brain scans.
"We focused on amygdala volumes and the prefrontal cortex thicknesses related to hypotheses from the general literature that we know about anxiety disorders and their involvement in these brain regions," said Jones.
"These brain regions have not really been examined in kids with new or recent-onset epilepsy who also have a current anxiety disorder."
The findings revealed that children who have an anxiety disorder plus epilepsy have much larger left amygdala volumes compared with children who have only epilepsy and also control individuals.
"In children with epilepsy plus anxiety, both the left and right amygdala volumes were greater — but only significantly so in the left amygdala," she noted.
Furthermore, those with both epilepsy and anxiety showed a pattern of cortical thinning in frontal lobe regions known to be associated with emotion and anxiety, she said.
She said that these findings point to the importance of diagnosing and treating anxiety in children with epilepsy.
"We know that untreated anxiety in childhood increases the likelihood of depression and other [co-occurring] psychiatric conditions in adulthood, so it is important to treat these conditions early," she said, adding that her group recently conducted a pilot study using cognitive-behavioral therapy to which children responded "quite well."

I've been thinking and talking a lot lately about right vs. wrong — the tendency for us to cling to a simplistic solution that there is a "right" side (mine) and a "wrong" side (yours). And what do we do when faced with those who disagree with our version of "right?"
A year ago, I saw a young man wearing a T-shirt that said, "You're with me or against me." I instantly thought, "This man is part of the problem in our country." Well, before the 2016 election, I was confident that "his" viewpoint was comfortably being relegated to the sidelines, and the open-minded "us" were leading the way to a society that embraces multiple perspectives.
Which is why the election results hurt so much, in the center of my chest, leading to sobs, hugs with friends and a deep grieving process that kept me in the house most of that month. "We" were wrong. There is so much more hatred and bigotry than we can easily overtake.
With a wider perspective, I began to see that many of the people in my community have been trying not to say out loud the same sentiment that was on that man's T-shirt. "Those who voted against us are against us, period." It's hard to be open-minded when you also wish half the country lived on their own island.
What if being "right" Is wrong?
I watched a TED Talk with Kathryn Schulz, "On Being Wrong." She pointed out that by the age of 9 we've learned in school that there is a "them" with red ink on quizzes and the way to succeed is to never make mistakes. We also grow up believing that what we see reflects reality. If someone disagrees, we assume they are ignorant and that if we share information they will see the light and join the team. When that doesn't happen, we assume they are idiots. And when we discover that people who disagree with us can also be smart, we decide they are deliberately distorting the truth for their own purposes — and thus are evil.
Eventually, I got out of the house again and away from the computer headlines. I met with three young friends who care about what is happening in this country — and also are trying to sort out how to find a long-term relationship, create a family and start a business. Slogan: What is my future in this world?
I went to a conversation circle of long-time protestors — some going back to the Vietnam War and women's reproductive rights — as well as those who are reticent to be public, afraid nonviolence might give way or worried about arrest because of young children at home or job security. One man had family deeply impacted by McCarthyism. Slogan: Will I be safe defending my values?
I went to the bar mitzvah for a friend of my son's — a young man who had the composure and the dedication to stand up in front of a full synagogue and sing and read alone in Hebrew, supported by grandparents and great-uncles and family friends and cousins. It reminded me of the "laying on of hands" ritual honoring transition at my Humanist Unitarian Universalist congregation, when we physically link in entirety with a hand on the shoulder of the one next to us. Slogan: I need community.
The rabbi at Shir Tikvah had a powerful statement in response to a question from the young man about the "truth" of sacred text:
"The stories are not about fact but about trust. Believing in human promise and dignity, even with the challenge of injustice, intolerance, indifference. A leap of faith, over and over again. What would life look like if everyone had the ability to trust that every human has the spark of 'God' in them?"
Slogan: I believe in a sacred truth.
I went to a discussion at the University of Minnesota with a large group interested in leading meaningful, difficult conversations. A take-away was that deep listening involves three aspects of language at the same time: hearing someone's facts, seeing their emotions and recognizing their values. Some of us are more comfortable listening to the facts of a conversation while ignoring other messages also being conveyed. Slogan: How can I connect with you?
These are the conversations I am paying attention to as I digest what we can do, as the interconnected community we are, to begin to tear down the "us" vs. "them" wall we are so good at building.
My resolution in this New Year: Person by person, learn what slogans those of us in conflict can equally wear on our T-shirts with pride. Because "Make America Great (At Last)" will require all of us, whether we like it or not.

There's no shortage of content at Laracasts. Check back most work-days for new lessons on your favorite web technologies and techniques.
Laravel Telescope is an elegant debug assistant for Laravel. It provides insight on things like requests, exceptions, database queries, and so much more. In this short mini-series, I'll tell you everything you need to know.
This series is exclusively focused on the art of refactoring code. Make a small change, run the tests, and then make another small change. Each episode provides a variety of long-form examples and pitfalls using real life code. Please note that this series is not chronological. Each episode is unique and may be viewed in any order.
In this series, I'll show you how to build a single-database, multi-tenant application in Laravel. Together, we'll construct our application in such a way as to ensure that data from one tenant never leaks into the results for another tenant.
Socialite provides you with a simple and convenient way to authenticate with OAuth providers like Facebook, Twitter, and GitHub. In this mini-series, I'll show you exactly how to use it in your own projects.
In this workshop, we'll focus exclusively on the open-closed principle (the O in SOLID). Using real-life code, line by line, we'll refactor a confusing class into something far more manageable and extendable. Once finished, we'll have gained the luxury of introducing new functionality, not by modifying existing code, but by instead writing a new class.
Livewire has quickly become one of the most popular package for building Laravel applications. It allows you to create dynamic components within PHP, which often results in allowing you to skip the JavaScript layer entirely. In this series, we'll go over the basics of Livewire and why/when you might reach for it. We'll then build and test several practical Livewire components.
Laravel 8 is here! This release includes brand new application scaffolding, class-based model factories, migration squashing, time traveling, and so much more. Join me as, one topic per episode, we review everything you need to know!
One of the best ways to improve your CSS is by rebuilding existing UIs. You'll notice common patterns that occur and the best way to handle them. In this first entry, we'll focus on the GitHub UI.View the source code for this episode on GitHub.
A static site is often the ideal choice for certain types of projects. Common use cases might be portfolios, blogs, or documentation sites. They are easy to host, simple to implement, and incredibly fast. In this series, we'll take a look at a handful of the most popular static site generators.
Cypress is a fantastic end-to-end testing framework. In this series, we'll learn, not just the ins and outs of Cypress, but also how it can be leveraged within a Laravel application to allow for everything from logging in, to seeding a database, to swapping environments.
Vue 3 is nearly upon us! If you'd like to get a head start, join me as we review everything you need to know. We'll discuss the new composition API, portals, Vite, and so much more!
While it's fun to see a car designed entirely with CSS from a single div, the day-to-day reality for a typical CSS designer is far less glamorous. Often, you'll lose hours upon hours due to some confusing CSS quirk that seemingly makes no sense. In this series, we'll dig our heals into the dirt and, together, decipher a variety of CSS oddities.
Alpine.js is a relatively new JavaScript framework for defining behavior directly in your markup. While similar to frameworks like Angular and Vue, you may find that Alpine is a bit more light-weight and portable. In this series, one step at a time, I'll get you up and running as quickly as possible.
As part of the Laravel 7 release, we gained access to supercharged Blade components. What's exciting about this is the fact that it can fundamentally change how you go about constructing the view layer of your applications. In this series, one component per episode, I'll show you a wide range of practical examples that you can freely use in your own projects.
In this series, we'll build a video game app that pulls data from the IGDB API and displays game information such as popular titles, coming soon, videos, and screenshots. We'll explore a variety of front-end features with Laravel and other technologies, including the HTTP client, Tailwind CSS, Livewire and Alpine.js.
In this series, we'll build a command line application to track the availability of in-demand products across any number of retailers. Perhaps you want to be notified the moment a Nintendo Switch becomes available for purchase? Let's do it!
If you already know what you're looking for, Laracasts is divided into various topics ranging from frameworks to packages to tools.

Hometown Heroes: Family Adversity Spawns Actions to Raise Awareness of Childhood Cancer< < Back to
Charlie Dina, the son of Angela and Michael, had a stomach ache that didn't get better. Instead, it got worse – much worse. Soon, Charlie was diagnosed with Stage 4, High Risk, Neuroblastoma Cancer and the life of Charlie, his family and friends turned upside down.
After a long battle, Charlie has now been in remission for two years but his family and friends have not forgotten the terrible turmoil childhood cancer causes others. They proceeded to establish the Go Gold Fund, a non-profit group, dedicated to raising awareness of childhood cancer and raising research dollars.
To do that, the Go Gold Fund partners with various athletic organizations to help focus a spotlight on this cause. This week, the fund has partnered with Ohio University football and other organizations on campus to promote "Going Gold" for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Angela, Michael, and their helpmate and friend Michelle Payne Schoonover have traveled to Athens and talked with Dr. Lynn Harter as part of the Hometown Hero series on WOUB Public Media.
In a very moving and honest way, they tell of their journey through Charlie's cancer and his treatment and the help and support given to them by their faith, their family and their friends.
They discuss the inception and creation of the Go Gold Fund and their strategies for increasing awareness and research money. Currently, only four percent of cancer research dollars are spent on fighting childhood cancer yet over 250,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.
Some 91,000 children die each year from cancer and cancer related illnesses.
If you would like more information, you can go to gogold.org or visit them on Facebook at Go Gold Fund.

April was a busy month. Chances are you aren't slowing down anytime soon. How about a massage to release that tension in your shoulders & keep you going through the warm summer? You know you could use it.
Lox welcomes Shelagh Leutwiler LMT to the Lox team offering both Therapeutic & Relaxation massage.
After studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Shelagh Leutwiler moved to Knoxville in 2005 to complete her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, at The University of Tennessee. Upon graduation in 2007, she explored her love of plants and her community by working as an Americorps Member at Beardsley Community Farm from 2008-09. During that time Shelagh also worked as a caregiver for children, which inspired her to incorporate more play, creativity, and patience into her everyday life.
In 2015, Shelagh and her friend Rachel Milford, co-founded The Cattywampus Puppet Council, which creates entertaining performances about regional biota and culture, and teaches children how to make puppets and tell stories with them. In the spring of 2017 Cattywampus Puppet Council will host Knoxville's first ever community based puppet parade, thanks in part to a Burning Man Foundation Global Arts Grant.
Before Shelagh became a massage therapist, she spent 2 years at Pellissippi State in the pre-nursing program and was accepted to several nursing programs. She soon realized that nursing would not provide enough hands on time with patients. Through her job as an office assistant for chiropractor, Dr. Natalie Kurylo, Shelagh gained a deeper appreciation for holistic health care and was inspired to become a massage therapist. Shelagh graduated from the Tennessee School of Therapeutic Massage in February 2016. She is a member of the American Massage Therapists Association.

A domestic violence victim who was found stabbed to death in her home was let down by police who failed to respond urgently on the day of her murder, a report has found.
Jeanette Goodwin, 47, was found by police with multiple stab wounds at her home in Southend, Essex, on 24 July last year. Martin Bunch was later arrested and convicted of her murder.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said that although Essex police had taken her previous reports of attacks seriously, it failed to "provide an essential emergency response to a high-risk victim".
The IPCC report said Bunch had been convicted of battery against Goodwin a month before her death. He was given a conditional discharge but within days was arrested again for harassment and a separate allegation of actual bodily harm.
Magistrates released him on bail despite police pleas to have him remanded in custody, the report said. Police then arrested him a further three times for breaching his bail conditions.
The IPCC investigation found that Essex police took Goodwin's reports of domestic violence seriously and offered her support. Officers had "strongly urged" that Bunch be remanded in custody "on the basis it was the only way to effectively protect Mrs Goodwin".
A statement added: "However, on the day of her murder they did not provide an essential emergency response to a high-risk victim. This was due to a breakdown of communication, a lack of resources and a failure to appropriately prioritise the case.
"Vital intelligence checks were not made, which would have alerted the decision-makers to the danger Mrs Goodwin was in, and her repeated expressions of fear were not recorded by the call-taker."
The family of Goodwin, a mother of three, issued a statement welcoming the findings and calling for reform in the way courts deal with victims of domestic violence.
They said: "Our main concerns are the justice system rather than police failings. Although justice has rightfully been served upon what we can only describe as an animal, this does not overshadow the obvious flaws within the justice system which greatly failed Jeanette and her chance of a peaceful and fulfilling life."
They were particularly concerned about Bunch removing an electronic tag in breach of his bail conditions. The statement said: "This criminal system has to change and the appropriate measures must be taken to ensure that these tags cannot be removed and that criminals for stalking or domestic violence repeatedly breaching bail must be given a mandatory prison sentence before this horrific crime is committed to another loving mother.
"Unfortunately we will never know whether this would have had an impact on saving Jeanette's life, but we would hope that it will help other victims."
During a 999 call, Goodwin said five times that she was scared and that Bunch was outside her home, the report said. An appointment was made for an officer to visit her later in the day, but the fact that she was scared was not recorded and checks were not made on previous complaints.
There were too few officers on duty on an "operationally busy day" and domestic abuse policies "lacked clarity", the IPCC said.
The IPCC commissioner Rachel Cerfontyne said: "The inadequate Essex police response on the day of the murder contrasted with the concerted effort made by the force to protect Jeanette Goodwin in the preceding months. The system in place then was badly flawed, not utilising intelligence checks to inform decision-making when prioritising incidents.
"There was a failure to recognise, in the light of the known history of this case, that Mr Bunch's presence close to her home, in breach of his bail conditions, required immediate and urgent action to try and arrest him. He had clearly become obsessed with her; his persistent stalking and harassment were strong indicators of how dangerous he was."
Deputy chief constable Derek Benson offered his condolences to the family and friends of Goodwin on behalf of Essex police. He said the report "rightly identifies" failings but also highlighted positive steps taken to protect her.
Since Goodwin's murder, the force had taken steps to improve on areas where shortcomings were found, he said. This included reviewing domestic abuse policies and setting up a domestic abuse intelligence team. The force receives reports of 85 domestic abuse incidents a day, amounting to about 2,500 a month.
During the trial, Chelmsford crown court heard that Goodwin had had an affair with Bunch lasting about eight years before she ended the relationship.
Bunch, a labourer, killed Goodwin in a "brutal and determined attack" in front of her husband. He was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum term of 27 years after being found guilty of murder.

Continuing our "4 Quick…" Series, here's a short article about why attention to detail and focus are essential during the editing process for each and every ebook you produce. Read more…
4 Quick Reasons Why Editing Your eBook Is Essential
Professionalism. Always aim for the highest standard possible that you can achieve. We understand that sometimes it is hard to keep plugging away at editing, following the hard work getting your idea down in writing to begin with. Follow a simple editing framework like this: Obsessive Self Editing = part of being a writer. Make this part of your writing process and the results will always be the best they can be. The work doesn't end with the story; that's what separates the professionals from everyone else.
Your readers don't want to read an ebook that is rife with frustrating little errors. They won't come back for more if you lose them on their first adventure into your writing. In the world of ebooks, building a platform, a readership and people that come back for your latest release is even more important than it is in print publishing (partly because you don't have a publisher's Marketing machine behind you). Every reader should count and receive a great experience from your ebook.
Competition. It's a competitive world out there; give your ebook the best chance of being read by ensuring that you've eliminated typos, grammatical errors and absolutely all spelling mistakes. There will, undoubtedly, be ebooks out there where the writer hasn't rigourously edited – these let down the effort of the writer; do not allow your ebook to be one of them.
Enhancing the Story. Editing helps you to identify weaknesses and build out parts of your ebook you may have missed; it is a fantastic opportunity to fix them. Rushing out your work to tick the box of 'complete' doesn't show your writing off to its full potential. Often, during the editing process, you'll find parts of your story that need more work – this is okay; be pleased that you found them before your reader did.

The nutrition company Garden of Life manufactured the natural belly fat buster Fucothin. It uses the substance extracted from algae and seaweed which is believed to have powerful thermogenic effects to the body. Fucothin is the only all-natural weight loss product that has undergone several scientific studies and it's been around for years already. But does it give the weight loss strength that you want? Let's see!
The Contents of Fucothin
Fucothin's name was derived from the main ingredient of the weight loss product, Fucoxanthin which was extracted from brown and green seaweeds. It is a combination of natural ingredients that include gelatin, purified water, and pomegranate seeds. However, compared to the actual seaweed, the Fucoxanthin levels in Fucothin are higher by 250 to 500%.
- Brown seaweed is a natural ingredient that is believed to help in the prevention of cancer and heart disease.
- Fucoxanthin is both a carotenoid substance and a powerful antioxidant that protects the cells from free radicals.
- Pomegranate seed oil is a strong antioxidant that has the ability to produce a natural thermogenic response that can burn fat in the body.
Fucothin Pros and Cons
As said earlier, Fucothin is an all-natural diet formula that lacks any stimulants. It can increase the metabolic processes of the body in a healthy and natural way thus, breaking down belly fat. Fucothin is the only natural weight loss pill that was subjected to clinical trials and studies. However, it is not a vegan-friendly formula because it contains gelatin. It does not control the appetite and needs regular exercise and a balanced diet to produce weight loss. There are reported side effects on the prolonged use of Fucothin such as chest pain, abdominal cramping, and fever. Allergic reactions were also noted due to the brown seaweed and Fucoxanthin ingredients of the product. So if you have allergies to seaweed, this not the right weight loss formula for you.
It is not exactly known how the Fucothin ingredients work on the body but it does produce notable effects when combined with healthy diet and regular exercise. Fucothin melts stubborn fat in the belly. It is an all-natural diet formula but the result varies on various users. Taking it regularly can yield notable results. However, it is not at par with pharmacy strength formulation when it comes to weight loss.
Phen375: Over the Counter Pharmacy Strength Weight Loss Formula
If it's a proven fat burner that you want then, Phen375 is what you should check out. It is a safe and good weight loss formula that you can easily purchase over the counter. The formulation is pharmacy-grade but does not require doctor's prescription.
It contains synthesized ingredients that were purified to be at their most effective form at FDA accredited labs. Their purity and concentration are unrivaled by natural ingredients like those found in Fucothin. It has the same weight loss potency of the controlled-substance Phentermine yet there are no side effects. Taking Phen375 is an inexpensive product that can give you remarkable weight loss results that are safe, healthy, and backed by scientific studies. If you want to fit on that new sexy dress that you have, start takingPhen375 today!

Writers tend to lead a solitary existence (insert crying face).
No secret to anyone who claims to be a writer, but to the ever hopeful and aspiring young scribe, this may come as a harsh truth. Yes, you may need to be with people less if you aspire to be a published author. But, if you're willing to sacrifice a few social hours for writing hours, you'll embrace a new understanding of what it takes to be a written warrior. As ridiculous or enlightening as that may sound.
But, what about your social life? How do friends – people you'd hopefully define as "joy-bringers" – how do they fit into your life? Us lonely writers need to seek out friends every now and again, but what about anyone else looking for common ground and a good conversation? Well, we live in an age of identifiable "top 5's" and "10 reasons to know when…," but truth is, friendship is literally born out of joy; not fleeting happiness. Here's some reasons why – from a writer's perspective, of course:
Friends will build your spirits, not your walls
Hanging around your friends should give you energy, not take it away. Introvert, extrovert – neither distinction really matters. Friends have a unique effect on your psyche and your overall health. And the resulting effect should be a renewed spirit, not a desire to lock yourself away.
Shared experience breeds life
Writers need experience if they are to write about experience. And friends can provide you with this crucial element if you let them. Granted, not all experience can be good, but every experience can be beneficial to a person's growth in the long run. How does someone deal with heartbreak? By leaning on the shoulder of the one they call "friend" – that's a start. Or how does someone know what it means to win something together? By winning with someone at your side – that's how. Despite the circumstances, all experiences can eventually lead to a better outcome. And having a friend by your side is a good way to go about it.
Emotional Intelligence – What's that?
In the same way you get energy or gain experience, you can also become the recipient of an increased emotional intelligence. What does that even mean? Well, consider how your friends intrigue you. They bring old news and new news with them. It's not that every moment has to be exciting; however, there's definitely something about them that's as comfortable as it is challenging. And having a 'ying' to your 'yang' is a powerful force when walking life's journey.
Isolation is not life
I'm not someone who does well with solitary confinement – ironic, considering my line of work. If I'm faced with long periods of alone time, I talk out loud. Just to hear a voice, I'll talk out loud. Not because I want someone to answer back, but just because I like to know I'm not just trapped inside my head. One of the biggest traps we face today is fighting isolation. For as much as social media has connected us, it's also distanced our perception of what "life" and community really look like. And no, it's not about having over 1,000 Facebook friends – it's having at least one or two people you knowingly can call on to give updates on regular life "status." You know, real life status. And that's the opposite of isolation.
It's also something called joy.

About Mitchell Chang
Mitchell Chang loved life. He loved pirates and dinosaurs. He loved his friends. Most of all, he loved his family. Mitchell had a natural ease about him that was welcoming to all he met. He was beautiful, enthusiastic, and an exuberant-spirited boy. Tragically, when he was three years old, Mitchell drowned at Love To Swim School. One of three locations owned by Mary Reilly Magee.
Before this tragedy, Mitchell was best described as a determined little boy. This is fitting since his Chinese name, Pei-Heng means "to be persistent." He was persistent in all his endeavors including sharing, laughing, helping others, and pursuing his dreams of being a pirate.
Early on in Mitchell's life, it became apparent that when Mitchell felt something, he felt it deeply. These feelings led to first day of school tears and attempts to "protect" his brother, Evan, from their babysitter. They also led Mitchell to joyfully sing "This Little Light of Mine" and squeal with excitement when chased down the long hallway in his home.
These deep feelings contributed to Mitchell's compassion and servant's heart. It was his servant's heart that endeared Mitchell to all who knew him. He helped other students get ready to go home by putting their water bottles and folders in their backpacks. He brought other students classroom supplies needed to complete projects. He picked up his friends when they fell. Mitchell's good story is a story of love, happiness, and service to others.
Despite his death, Mitchell's good story continues on in his brother and parent's devotion and through The Mitchell Chang Foundation (TMCF). His fun-loving spirit will push forward, through the building of local playgrounds that will benefit the children of San Antonio. TMCF also wishes to overwhelm the world with LOVE by encouraging children to do small, continual acts of kindness to others. A little bit of kindness can change EVERYTHING!!!!!

The Gillard government's highly-anticipated National Cultural Policy has been put off to a later date due to a tightening of the purse strings in the lead up to the budget, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The policy is the first document of its kind to be published for nearly two decades and aims to provide a coherent set of strategies for arts and culture spending, which currently sits at $740 million annually.
According to the Herald, Arts Minister Simon Crean had hoped to release the policy at the same time as the federal budget, but the government's commitment to return the budget to surplus – with no spare change for an arts policy – means these plans have been sunk.
A discussion paper on the National Cultural Policy was released in August, which collated contributions from a variety of cultural organisations from across Australia to determine needs and pressures of the arts community.
The National Cultural Policy is still hoped to be released this year, and will provide strategic scaffolding for Australian Government support for arts, culture and creativity for the next decade.
Mr Crean has also commissioned a review into the Australia Council to determine its relevance as well as the Mitchell Review into private sector support for the arts.
The National Cultural Policy has four key "goals": to reflect the diversity of contemporary Australia, and protect Indigenous culture; to encourage the use of emerging technologies; to strengthen the role of the arts in telling Australian stories; and to strengthen the capacity of the arts to contribute to our economy and society.
Unfortunately, when economic times are tight, the arts are the first on the chopping block and this instance is no different.
There has been no cultural policy since 1994, when Prime Minister Paul Keating released "Creative Nation". More information about Federal Arts funding will be released with the entire budget on Tuesday.

Last week, the 2nd annual Credit Union Big Data Analytics Conference took place in Minneapolis. There were 100 attendees which represented a 250% increase over attendance at last year's conference. For those who attended, it was an opportunity to network with their industry peers who recognize the disruptive threat and opportunity created by Big Data and Analytics. A couple of attendees commented on how they felt that they had finally found their "tribe" as they networked with others who understand that their world is changing and credit unions need to quickly make the transformation to becoming Analytic Competitors.
Day 1 got the Conference off to a Fast Start
Paul Ablack, CEO, OnApproach, kicked off the conference with a message about the threat of disruption that the industry is facing. A threat very similar to the disruption that the taxi industry in struggling with as a result of Uber's entry into the market within the last 5 years. Paul stated that "Big Data & Analytics is a reality that will change the retail banking industry and that this is the top strategic priority for credit union executives." He went on to say that, "credit unions serve 102 million members and that 80 million of those members are served by credit unions that do not have the money, expertise or time needed to develop an analytics culture. This can only be achieved through the collaboration provided by a CUSO." Paul talked about an analytics platform, analogous to a smart phone strategy, where OnApproach can provide each credit union with their own software solution to integrate all of their data while also allowing them to share resources like predictive analytics and applications with other credit unions because of the standardization afforded by the platform.
The breakout sessions offered some solid information for credit unions. Rich Jones and Brewster Knowlton's presentation "Making Your Data Actionable!" drew upon their extensive experience in helping credit unions prepare both strategically and tactically for Big Data and Analytics initiatives. One of the key areas they highlighted was the importance of data quality. They noted that the mantra "garbage in, garbage out" was especially applicable in this area and that lack of attention to data quality could be very costly.
In the Technology track, Yuriy Dermidko and Kat Grigg of DataStax presented "Emerging Big Data Technologies". One of the highlights of their talk was the about the advantages of NoSQL. They noted that NoSQL refers to innovative data management engines that can be effective when traditional relational databases cannot scale for very large databases. Some of these advantages mentioned were a flexible data model, horizontal scalability, and distributed architectures.
The final presentation of the day featured Paul Fiore, Founder and CEO of CUWallet. Paul presented an overview of various mobile payment (a.k.a – mobile wallet) systems such as Apple Pay. He noted that while a credit union may have already adopted Apple Pay, it should not be the only component in a mobile wallet strategy. Paul pointed out factors to consider were fee impact on the credit union, brand defense, protecting member data, and the fact not all members have iPhones. Overall, he said the goal of a mobile wallet was not merely to replace the card swipe. Most importantly, credit unions need to focus on the new revenue streams that will be available as members change the way they shop.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Louise Erdrich once described her fiction as "a crazy quilt." As in her previous books, her thirteenth novel, The Plague of Doves, stitches together several of her recent short stories, most of them previously published in The New Yorker. The remarkable thing is how seamlessly the final product fits together. This is not merely an anthology of thematically related short stories, in the tradition of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, but a rich tapestry of intertwined relationships over successive generations as complex as anything set in William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County.
Much of the pleasure for the reader, in addition to keeping track of the intersecting family trees and following the narrative as it whipstitches back and forth in time between different characters' points of view, lies in discerning how much of the novel is the product of evolutionary accident and how much is the result of intelligent design. Did Erdrich simply snip and sew the book together from whatever quilt squares she had closest at hand or did she write her short stories with some notion of the eventual novel in mind?
Either way, Plague of Doves is a masterful performance by a veteran novelist at the height of her powers. The novel opens in 1911 with the brutal murders of a farm family near Pluto, N.D., a white town that encroaches on an Ojibwe Indian reservation. A baby left bawling in her crib survives. Four Indians who discover the bodies and care for the infant are hanged for the murders by a white lynch mob straight out of The Ox-Bow Incident. The mob spares one of the Indians, a boy named Mooshum who will live to recount the tale to his granddaughter decades later. Meanwhile, descendants of the lynchers and their victims intermarry and interact in surprising and often ironic ways, as people from small towns often do, despite the racial violence that links their pasts. As one character puts it, "Nothing that happens, nothing is not connected here by blood."
The overarching narrative is recounted by Mooshum's half-Indian granddaughter, Evelina Harp, a teenager in the 1970s who falls in love first with the great nephew of one of the lynching victims and then with a nun who joined the sisterhood perhaps to atone for her great-grandfather's role in the vigilantism. Another descendant of one of the lynched men helps a lyncher's grandson kidnap his own wife for ransom to cover up the pregnancy of the married man's teen girlfriend. The husband's accomplice later reforms to become the charismatic leader of an evangelical sect that draws congregants from both sides of the social divide created by the unsolved murders. Subplots often stray too far from the main narrative, Erdrich drops heavy hints of the killer's true identity too early, and the motive for the murders remains obscure. But viewed in all its patchwork complexity, Erdrich's novel succeeds as regional literature of national importance. (Harper Collins Publishers, 336 pages, $25.95)

Yes, to pass your PMP exam you need to cram chapter 10, is it, on Project Communications Management. So does it stop there, is it theory in a book that is used to pass an exam, or do you apply PMBOK chapter 10 back at the office?
Most of what you do as a project manager is communicate and plan, but do you plan to communicate? Do you sit yourself down when you're assigned to a new project, and consider the impact on and the influence of the users, their bosses and any other relevant participants that may be affected by and affecting the change that you are trying to bring about?
Do you fundamentally understand that you are busy bringing about a change in people's lives, their work lives, their departments, their business operations, where they spend a good chunk of time each day, and where they probably have some or other vested interest in the status quo, which you and your project team are busy directly or indirectly challenging? Do you see that their knee-jerk resistance is quite normal and understandable, and do you contemplate how you may get them to stop resisting and to start driving the change forward, which usually requires quite a mind-set adjustment for most mortals when it comes to change.
Do you take it a step further and plot their names, and roles, and attitudes on what we may call a people radar or a stakeholder map and then analyse their level of understanding of what the project is delivering, their information needs, and assess how their individual commitment to change affects your overall project success. And then how you plan to go about sharing information and conversations with this project community to give them the reasons and the means to change and succeed, so that you and your project team can succeed. Well, have you?
PMBOK chapter 10 is about people people people, it's about communicate communicate communicate. Don't leave it on the shelf after the exam, apply it back at the office.

Only Kim Kardashian West could turn Camelot into Kamelot.
For the cover of the September 2017 issue of Interview magazine, the star posed with her daughter North West in a very Jackie Kennedy Onassis–inspired photoshoot that was captioned with, "America's New First Lady." (So does this mean Kanye West's presidential run could become a reality?)
And never one to not be extra, Kardashian West goes for the full Jackie O in the photos, wearing white elbow-length gloves and a big bouffant hairdo that feel straight out of the Cold War. As the magazine notes, the 36-year-old is purposely channeling the former first lady because she's "another mother whose every move captivated the American imagination."
In the accompanying interview, which is a conversation between Kardashian West and writer and activist Janet Mock, the beauty mogul talked about how "conscious" she is of raising mixed-race children with husband Kanye West. "Kanye always has his family around and people who look like my daughter—that's important to me. She's obsessed with her curly hair, and if she finds someone who has the same hair, she runs to them and is like, 'You have curly hair like me?' And we get to talk about it. We also talk about it with my niece Penelope, because she and North look really different, but they're best friends and they're together all the time." She added, "We want to raise our kids to be really aware. I think that's all you can do. The more you talk about things and keep them out in the open, the more they won't be taboo. Kids are already so open. They say anything. So if you educate them, they feel like they have this knowledge and then they feel empowered."
Naturally, the presidential photoshoot has already sparked a variety of reactions on Twitter, with many users sharing their disdain over the magazine's decision to compare Kim K and Jackie O. "Jackie O turning over in her damn grave right now," one person tweeted at Kardashian West. However, others have only praise for the pictures' glamorous look and creative styling. "Nothing but respect for MY First Lady," a Twitter user wrote, while another mused, "It's strange for me to say that I wish this were real. Kanye running the country would make me feel a lot safer."
The issue also features a series of short interviews with North, conducted by fellow famous kids like Kaia Gerber, Millie Bobby Brown, and North's cousin-slash-bestie Penelope Disick, in which the 4-year-old reveals such hard-hitting truths as her favorite kind of pizza ("Just cheese! Cheese, cheese—everywhere cheese."), her favorite Disney princess (Jasmine), and what she would do at a baking party with Penelope ("We can make rainbow princess cake!"). She also answers several questions from the writings of Andy Warhol, sharing that she can do her own nails "very well," her favorite color is rainbow and her purse is full of toys and "sometimes I put some makeup in there when I go to church."

If you've been down to Stamford Bridge in recent years, you may well have heard the familiar chants of "we know what we are…"
They were out in full force on Saturday as Chelsea took on Burnley. Despite the Blues losing in front of the Stamford Bridge faithful, they still sang loud and proud.
And why not? Chelsea are the champions, and one negative result isn't going to change that. Eden Hazard and Pedro reminded the world what we are ahead of kick-off, carrying out OUR trophy onto the field.

10. Harry Potter 6's $22.2m midnight
Almost all aspects of Harry Potter 6 - the $77.8m opening weekend, its dailies after, the 2.85 overall multiplier - make it indistinguishable from its predecessor the Order of the Phoenix. Almost all, except for one number: the opening midnight figure from 3,003 theaters. It broke The Dark Knight's record by $4m (23%) and basically single-handedly accounted for the difference in total over the Order of the Phoenix. It also makes the rest of its run feel rather anticlimactic, including the Wednesday number itself ($58m) even though it bested any of the previous HP films by 31%.
9. District 9's $37.4m opening
August looked uninteresting on paper, but it turned out to be way exciting than July, even without a $170m+ grosser. District 9 is one of the key contributors. It kicked off its buzz at Comic-Con and never looked back. The $37.4m was the second best August opening for a R-rated film (although it didn't hold the title for long, as we'll see later) and already enough to cover its budget of $30m. It also one-upped Cloverfield, the film it tried to follow the success of, in the legs department with some terrific holds so far and could reach $100m by Labor Day.
8. Inglourious Basterds' $38.1m opening
One $35m+ opening for a R-rated film in August is rare enough, but two? And back-to-back? The reason I ranked Inglourious Basterds higher is that its expectation was lower, even though it had a named director and a star lead. The average prediction for District 9 was around $30m, while the average for IB was $26m. There were concerns about its 2.5 hour length and the poor performance of Grindhouse, which Tarantino co-directed, but it turned out to be his biggest opener by 51%. The internal multiplier is also encouraging, in particular the small Sunday drop of 19%. A $100m+ total looks set as well. Brad Pitt has been a star for 15 years, but for the most part of the 90s, his box office draw was heavily skewed to the international side. Not any longer. Inglourious Basterd will be his 7th $100m grosser domestically in the last 8 years.
Will come back later with No. 4-7.

An accident in Texas has raised a lot of questions about whether we have another racial issue on our hands. A couple of weeks ago two black teenagers were riding in their go carts around their homes when a Jeep struck the young men. The woman is caucasian and the young men are black. When asked about the incident, this is what happened according to one of the teen's father Jules Moor:
"She left from the northbound lane, crossed over into the southbound lane, jumped the curb and hit my son head on in his go-cart."
"I don't think, I know for a fact that she intentionally did it,"
The woman has NOT been arrested and instead the Sherrif's department is waiting for a Grand Jury investigation. When asked whether race was involved, Mr. Moor denied it:
"Race is not an issue, what is an issue is right and wrong," said the victim's father Jules Moor.
The woman who was driving in her neighborhood on March 13th when, as she puts it, noticed two teens driving "erractically" in their go carts released this statement:
"As a mother of two children, I was concerned for the safety of these kids because they were driving their vehicle erratically and at high speeds through the neighborhood and also came dangerously close to a lake. When I saw them driving erratically for the second or third time that evening, I pulled my vehicle over and stopped"
What do you think happened? Was this a racially charged crime?

JDK SE and Eclipse not working
I installed JDK SE 7 on my Windows 8, in order to work with Eclipse, which I installed afterwards.
However, due to some issues I was having, I un-installed both programs. Now, I re-installed both programs, but everytime I try to open Eclipse, I get the following message:
Error: could not open `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'
I open the Java folder and under I can't find the amd64 folder in the jre6 subfolder.
Can anyone help me fix this problem?

Hi, I'm Chantal and I blog at Scattered Seashells. I'm wife to an Army pilot and mom to a busy toddler girl. We currently live in Southern Alabama, but soon we'll be on our way to our next adventure in South Korea! My blog is about parenting, motherhood, toddlerhood, and our life. Come and say hi!
You've said it before, haven't you? I'm a bad mom! Admit it, it's okay, we've all been there. You might even mutter it every day for various reasons. I'm a bad mom!
Are you really? Who's even keeping score? I know this motherhood game can be a big contest sometimes, the so-called "Mommy Wars," and we're battling with each other about who is doing the right thing, different parenting styles, and all that. But can you see how damaging it is to constantly tell yourself you're a bad mom?
I was reading Bringing Up Bebe, and she mentions a contrast between American and French mothers on this exact topic. It's the American thing to do when a bunch of women get together - complain. It builds a sense of camaraderie, I suppose. Maybe we're looking for sympathy, for someone to pat our backs and tell us that we're doing a fine job. Here's your pat on the back.
You are not a bad mom.
You're not a bad mom because you didn't feed your kid an organic, mostly-vegetable, meal for dinner. So what if it's chicken nuggets and pickles? At least they're eating something. And hey, who cares if you have dinner while watching a movie? Not me.
You're not a bad mom because you didn't buy that cool toy, or you did buy that cool toy, or you let your kid chew on sticks on occasion. Because I do.
You're not a bad mom because you watched TV all day. Sometimes, you just have to. Or that you can't make homemade paint, or your kid won't color despite your best efforts, or they aren't wearing pants for the third day in a row. Whatever!
You're not a bad mom for the myriad of reasons why you ever mutter the words, ever type them out to a friend on Facebook, or ever say them to your spouse through an uncomfortable laugh. Your kid might have cried all day or just told you they hate you, but you are not a bad mom. Believe me, you aren't.
As for me, I'm working to take those words out of my vocabulary, because I am a good mom. I am Penny's mom and she is happy, healthy, and spirited. Is there more I should ask for?

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
One day this summer, Ron Sebring sat down at his desk — only to find "something ... seriously wrong with my computer," he said. "After installing some Microsoft updates, as instructed, I had turned it off and then back on. When it came on, I had lost all my settings and some of the icons on the screen. ... All my documents were gone." So were Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. As a clergyman — he's been Northbrae Community Church's (941 The Alameda, Berkeley) pastor since 2000 — Sebring knew he must face this debacle philosophically.
"I went through the mental process of letting go," he explained in the sermon he gave later that week. "When we have a loss, life still goes on. We find a way to move around it, and move on, lest it become a weight we carry with us." He then explained that his computer crisis had resolved itself after he realized that he'd logged in improperly.
But the crisis was a crash course in equanimity: "We can discover calmness in a storm. ... It is a matter of stillness, silence, receptive emptiness" that can aid anyone, he explained in that sermon, "whether they look with devotion to the Buddha mind, whether they hang on every word of the Lord Krishna, or whether, like Peter, they take their eyes away from life's winds and waves and look again to the incarnate God within."
Finding resonance in faiths besides his own comes naturally to Sebring, who has maintained a lifelong interest in world religions, especially their esoteric practices. His Wednesday, January 6 lecture at Northbrae on comparative spirituality will include the Kabbala, Buddhism's eightfold path, the eight limbs of yoga, and the classical Christian path of purgation-illumination-union: "They all begin with morality," Sebring says. "They all have a perspective on enlightened truth: Sophia, Dharma, Logos. They all reach for a unitive experience."
He especially relishes retelling some of the stories — Zen parables, Sufi tales, and Taoist allegories — by which precepts are purveyed.
One theme that intrigues him is what Buddhism variously calls the three jewels, three treasures, and three places of refuge: "There is the Buddha, the 'torchbearer' who incarnates Truth. There is the Truth itself — Dharma — which becomes the teaching. There is the Sangha, or community of enlightened people." This three-part dynamic "seems to be the necessary pattern in so many world religions — whether guru, saint, priest, torchbearer, ashram, mosque, synagogue, or church," Sebring says.
"The recent poll from the Pew Forum for Religion and Public Life and other resources suggest that Americans are more and more mixing and matching religions. This hunger is expressed among people today as being more interested in 'spirituality' than organized 'religion.'" Given that trend, says Sebring, "I feel the time has come for religious folks to dialogue with each other." 7:30 p.m., free. Northbrae.org

From Open Babel
In any large software project, some parts of the code are revised and kept up-to-date more than others.
Conversely, some parts of the code begin to fall behind -- the code may be poorly tested, poorly documented, and not always up to best practices.
With that in mind, here are some very important tasks of software archeology -- diving in to older parts of code and bringing them up to date. Whenever editing a file, please keep these in mind and consider these simple tasks:
Documentation and Code Readability
- Add clear documentation for every public function.
- Add clear comments on the internal operation of functions -- so anyone can read through the code quickly.
- If you're not sure what a function does, e-mail the openbabel-devel list and it can be worked out.
- Mark functions which should be publicly visible and functions which are only useful internally. Many methods are not particularly useful except inside the library itself.
- Improve code indentation -- different contributions have often had different indentation styles. Simply making the code indentation consistent across an entire file makes the code easier to read.
- The current accepted scheme for Open Babel is a default indent of two spaces, and use of spaces instead of tabs.
- For tips on changing your editor to use this indentation style, please e-mail the openbabel-devel list.
- Delete code which is commented out. The SVN version control system maintains history, so if we need it later, we can go back and get that code. Dead code like this simply makes it harder to read the important code!
Code Maintenance
- Minimize #if/#endif conditional compilation. Some is required for portability, but these should be minimized where possible. If there seems to be some magic #define which accesses parts of the file, it's probably dead code. As above, dead code makes it harder to maintain and read everything else.
- Removing calls to
perroretc. These should use the global error reporting code.
- Minimize warnings from compilers (e.g., GCC flags
-Wextra -Wall). Sometimes these are innocuous, but it's usually better to fix the problems before they become bugs.
- Use static code analysis tools to find potential bugs in the code and remove them.
Patches and contributions towards any of these tasks will be greatly appreciated.

David Porter appears on the podcast for the second time and catches up with Jason. David was on the podcast many years ago to talk about a metric he had creatively come up with that Jason dubbed the 'free lunch'. David considers himself a very conservative investor and didn't even get into debt until Jason recommended him to. He has been incredibly happy with the progress so far and shares some fantastic insight with Jason's audience today on the Solomon Success show.
Key Takeaways:
4:52 – David purchased his first out-of-state home in 2009 with Jason's team.
9:30 – David has an extensive shipping and fiance background and shares his story.
16:15 – Both Jason and David are in the agreement that owning property is safer than owning stock.
21:10 – Not taking advantage of the ability to borrow money for investment purposes is like stuffing money under a mattress.
24:20 – David says there has been an increase in retail shipments this year than ever before.
28:10 – Jason wonders whether China's economy will be able to over take the United State's economy.
33:10 – The thing that makes the US unique compared to Grease or Italy is that we can print as much money as want.
41:00 – Jason talks about a kick starter campaign for glowing trees and how cool it is to be alive.
48:45 – David shares some tips as to what houses he looks for to invest.
55:15 – David shares more specific numbers on his house appreciation over the years.

text: My bad in (2) that should have been 781 and it's LC's way to indicate the geographic form used for a 181 when a heading may be geographically subdivided. The point is, when you are trying to do authority matching/mapping you have to match against the 181's in LCSH *and* the 781's in NAF. This is an oddity of the LC authority file that people may not be aware of, hence why I pointed it out. As I indicated, in my mapping projects I have taken LCSH and added new 181 records based on the 781's found in NAF. This allows the matching process to work reasonably well without dragging in the entire NAF for searching and matching. However, this still doesn't give the complete the picture since in LCSH the *construction rules* allow you to use things in the name authority file as subjects, ugh. Effectively, LCSH isn't useful by itself when trying to match/decompose 6XX in bibliographic records. You really need access to NAF as well. Things get worst when talking about the Children's headings… since you can pull from both LCSH and NAF, ugh-ugh. While LC would like us to think of the authority file as three separate authorities, LCSH, LCSHac, NAF, in reality the dependencies require you to ignore the thesaurus boundaries and just treat the entire authority file as one thesauri. We struggled with this in the terminology services project, especially when the references in one thesaurus cross over into the other thesauri. Andy. From: Ya'aqov Ziso [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 13:47 To: Code for Libraries; Houghton,Andrew Cc: Hickey,Thom; LeVan,Ralph Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] LCSH and Linked Data Andrew, as always, most helpful news, kindest thanks! more [YZ] below: 1. No disagreement, except that some 151 appears in the name file and some appear in the subject file: n82068148 008/11=a 008/14=a 151 _ _ $a England sh2010015057 008/11=a 008/14=b 151 _ _ $a Tabasco Mountains (Mexico) [YZ] would it be possible then to use both files as sources and create one file for geographical names for our purpose(s)? 2. Yes, see n50000359 151 _ _ $a Sonora (Mexico : State) 751 _ _ $z Mexico $z Sonora (State) [YZ] Both stand for a distinct cataloging usage. Jonathan's suggestion to consult LC may answer the question of which field/when to use for geographical names 3. Oops, my apologies to my VIAF colleagues, I believe that geographic names are in the works… [YZ] inshAllah! 4. That is probably correct. England may appear as both a 110 *and* a 151 because the 110 signifies the concept for the country entity while the 151 signifies the concept for the geographic place. A subtle distinction... [YZ] Exactly. This distinction called for creating both a 110 AND a 151. But we are talking about 151. The case where there is both a 110 and a 151 does NOT apply to geographic names, only to some. [YZ] VIAF would be helpful to provide a way to limit geographical names ONLY to 151 names and their cross references.
