All designed objects, whether conceived by an architect,artist, graphic designer, industrial designer, or landscape architect, tell a story.
Their stories can sometimes be discerned easily, and at other times need to be discovered through thoughtful consideration. The story can be as simple as a metaphor or as complex as a novel.
Just as the adage goes, you can't judge the object (book) by its exterior (cover). The richness of the object is in its content.
Architects are natural storytellers – it's a process that is inherently built into our creative process and when used properly, it's one of the very best tools in our tool bag.
Every story or narrative is a series of events tied together into a plot. The key is to display your concept in the most appropriate visual form for the project in question
The Archcember challenge is about telling your story through illustrations (sketches/doodles/paintings or computer generated illustrations and graphics) related to architecture.
• We will give you 1 word every two days and you have to tell us a story through your illustration and an article of 200 words which justifies your concept.
• Not necessarily, but if the illustrations respond to the theme of the contest i.e. Architecture, it would be much more meaningful.
• Your Sketches can narrate stories through functional or explanatory , social, investigative and sarcastic approaches or comic strips
We know you are an amazing story-teller and all the stories are good in their own way. But we will have to choose the best to announce winners and here are few criteria's that the jury has framed:
• How well the word has been understood by the participant?
• Originality and creativity – Is the work fundamentally different from existing ideas, sketches or stories
• Interactivity and engagement – Is the story interactive enough to engage the jury and grab their attention
• 60% marks will be given to the illustration and 40% will be awarded for the story considering the points above.
4 Dec'17 – Start of Competition |29 Dec'17 – End of Competition.
Important dates of every week - 4, 6, 8 | 11, 13, 15 | 18, 20, 22 | 25, 27, 29 Dec'17.
Submissions of entries before 6 PM and Day Winners will be announced at 11PM on every next day respectively. Ex : On 5 Dec before 6 PM, the participants will have to submit their illustrations and at 11 PM, the winners of 4 Dec will be announced and so on.
Week Winners and 3 words for a week will be announced at 11 PM on dates – 10, 17, 24 and 31Dec'17.
15 Jan'18 – Final Result announcements and dispatching of gifts/goodies and Certificates.

I'm going to breathe a big sigh of relief when the kids go back to school next week.
There's no question I've always been happy to see an end to summer childcare juggles—Who is going to what camp this week? Who needs a lunch? What time is pick-up? Do you have your bathing suit/personal flotation device/ball glove/sunscreen?—even if it means that summer itself must come to an end.
Now that I work from home, I feel the disruption even more keenly, especially since my productivity is so directly linked to my income. Don't get me wrong—I'm grateful that I don't have to apologize to anyone if I need to duck out at 3:30 to get a kid at camp (and that we have the means for camp in the first place). And while I welcomed the warm days of summer and enjoyed the holiday time we had together at the beginning of the season, the truth is that the vast majority of summer is spent doing an awkward dance between the kids and work.
But even before becoming a parent—and long after my own school days—I've always relished the fresh start that a new school year brings. There's something delicious about the beginning of September and the promise it holds. I love it all, from the smell of freshly-sharpened pencils to the feel of cable knit the first day that it's cool enough for a sweater. Like the blank pages of a calendar before everyone's practices and lessons are scribbled in, that first week anything feels possible.
Here's the thing, though. It's possible to get so caught up in getting the school year off to a good start that we can drive ourselves absolutely mad. That's because there's no end to the things we could be doing in an attempt to execute the perfect beginning to the year (and some mom will always be better at labelling shit than you). Yes, it would have been a smart to get the kids to bed earlier every night for the last two weeks. Great idea to have the kids' clothes perfectly sorted (I wish), their hair cut (forget about it) and every pencil sharpened (nope). Ideally, their homework desk would be cleared of the summer's worth of found rocks and sticks that accumulated there over the last 10 weeks and magazine folders set up to corral permission forms and library books.
All of that stuff is a great idea. But all of that stuff takes time, and maybe you spent your summer, well, enjoying summer (likely while working, coordinating camps, keeping kids entertained, etc. etc. *collapse*). Good thing no one ever died of an unlabelled pencil case.
So if you haven't managed to get all of that done by Labour Day, rest easy. Because none of it is even remotely related to whether or not your family is going to have a good school year.
I'll tell you what is.
The one thing you really need to do to set your family up for success this fall is to be smart about how much you take on. While that new calendar on the wall is essential, no system, no app, no family command centre, is going to make life work if you're over-programmed. Not if it takes herculean effort to get your kids to all the enriching activities you've signed them up for in a well-meaning but misguided attempt to give them a leg up in life.
It is not easy to strike the right balance. (I kind of cringe as I type the word "balance" because it seems to suggest that it's even possible to find the perfect equilibrium.) There are so many really great—even essential—activities to put the kids in. Just making sure your kids get, say, the swimming lessons they need to stay alive and any crucial tutoring can easily fill up the week. And that's before you even factor in their favourite pursuits—hockey, dance, piano, karate. But I promise you that you won't come anywhere near the mythic city of BalanceTown if you're in the van every night around dinnertime.
Nothing will make you feel more frantic and crappy than feeding your kids pogos in the car en route to [FILL IN THE BLANK] practice. So sit down as a family and have a meeting about what can realistically be achieved in terms of extra-curriculars this fall. And put your own indoor soccer, yoga, running clinic or watercolour painting class on the calendar, please. You need it to stay healthy and sane. And they need to see you modelling a lifestyle that isn't all about catering to them.
When you're having your meeting, get into the details. What time precisely does that activity start? How many games and practices will there be? If a little niggly voice tells you "Hey, it might be hard to get through traffic in time to get MacKenzie to the thing by 6:15," FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LISTEN. Because if even a bit of your subconscious is picking up on this now, you can bet your conscious conscious is going to get the message in the form of palm sweats and white knuckles on the day in question.
It is SO easy to get caught up in an out-of-control extra-curricular schedule, especially when it comes to competitive sports. All it takes is someone to suggest that your kid is good enough to try out for rep/select and, naturally, wanting your child to have the positive experience of being good at something, you can just get carried along to a place where your family's schedule is no longer your own. I'm not sure there's any worse example of this than with hockey. I have known families that couldn't plan Christmas vacation until they got Junior's hockey schedule. Please don't take away my passport for saying so but that is CRAY-CRAY. We are the bosses of our family's schedules. It's important to be committed to a team once you've made the decision to be a part of it, but think carefully when you're weighing the matter.
To me nothing short of a fiery passion held by your child (not you) is reason enough to commit to elite-level sports or activities that will gobble up all of your family's time together. Time you can spend preparing and sharing healthy homemade food, catching up on the day, completing homework, going for a walk around the block or playing a board game. That's the stuff that my family needs time for in order to feel happy. I bet yours has a similar list.
How much is on your calendar this school year? How do you keep weeknights from spinning out of control? I'd really love to hear from you in the comments. And if you're interested in seeing more posts like this, pretty please take a second and enter your email to subscribe here! Thanks so much!

It is the first of a series of two courses (24.951 is taught during the Fall and 24.952 is taught in the Spring). This course deals mostly with phrase structure, argument structure and its syntactic expression, including "A-movement". Though other issues (e.g. wh-movement, antecedent-contained deletion, extraposition) may be mentioned during the semester, the course will not systematically investigate these topics in class until 24.952.
The goal of the course is to understand why certain problems have been treated in certain ways. Thus, on many occasions a variety of approaches will be discussed, and the (recent) historical development of these approaches are emphasized.

Raveewan Space
|Bangkok, Thailand
|9,990 Sq.m.
We envision Raveevan Space as a luxurious apartment that uniquely fuses Oriental living with extensive art scape in a tropical metropolitan.
A revival of Oriental sensation is a potential to bring back our cultural identity and portray in a contemporary manner. A fresh solution it offers how we live harmoniously in local context – which has largely been isolated by the present urban limitations – will reshape the notion of living experience here.
A sense of Oriental living has been characterized in our design. By observing traditional East Asian architecture, our design implemented their core philosophy of living in experiential space by bridging dwellers to live closely with nature. An exposure to natural light, wind breeze, landscape and visual pleasing is an art of appreciation that we aim to introduce here in scale of both in-unit living and facility areas. In addition, we envisage a transitional spaces that inter-connect and form an extensive network of public facilities, circulation and communal spaces. This is where spaces are carefully crafted to house specific art pieces, echoing their presence that is accessible by everyone. Oriental living experience has been defined through quality and quantity of diverse events contained in place.
The fusion of Oriental and arts softens the ambience, prompt the dwellers'spiritual sentiment into a serene state. It is a moment that allows dwellers to expand their mind to absorb richness of arts, appreciate their stories and craftsmanships in harmony with nature. It is a place to learn, respect and value surroundings that compliments the dweller's daily sensational comfort.

Gold winner for news and research, investor education, online help (Corporate Insight 2015)
- Costs and More: TD Ameritrade offers $0.00 commissions on online exchange listed US stock, ETFs, and options trades, regardless of account balance or how many shares you buy.
- Learning Curve: It's easy. New users might be slightly off put by the vast amount of functions and tools available in its platform, but after a few test drives, it's easy to figure out. TD Ameritrade makes regular updates and overhauls on its platform, adding more and more features and user-friendly functions each year.
- The Platforms: TD Ameritrade uses Thinkorswim, one of the best trading technologies in the industry – it was voted #1 trading platform by Barron's. The details are plentiful which may be an initial turn off to new users, and it isn't customizable, which may be a turn off to advanced users. Beyond this, it's a stellar technology that has everything any type of trader would need.
- Stock Trading Tools: The platform comes loaded with Command Center 2.0, Market Motion Detector, Pattern Matcher, QuoteScope, and Strategy Desk – all tools that will help streamline the trading process and make things easier, especially for new customers unfamiliar with online stock trading.
- Education Center: TD Ameritrade created its Education Center in 2014, and it has been expanding ever since. It's free, and most of it can be accessed even if you don't have a TD Ameritrade account. New users can browse topics from portfolio management to retirement planning. There's all the info anybody would ever need on stocks, bonds, ETFs, Options, Futures, and taxes, all in easy-to-access blogs, publications, courses, videos, and webcasts.
TD Ameritrade's Claim
Old users stay with TD Ameritrade and new users regularly sign up with this online broker not only because of its reputable name, but because of its broad investment options, user-friendly technology, impeccable research and education libraries, and $0 minimum deposit and commission trades.
Is it True?
Yes. TD Ameritrade has a wide array of offerings, robust technology, and solid 24/7 customer service.
Don't let the $0 minimum deposit feature be the sole reason for signing up with any online stock broker. You're going to have to deposit something, so usually beginner to intermediate investors will deposit between $500-2,500 anyway to make any sort of substantial trade.
It's difficult to find any real downsides with TD Ameritrade. The entire platform would give both new investors and seasoned traders a great, all-around experience. Users have free access to a high volume of investor education and research, real-time market reports and data, and its flagship platform, Thinkorswim, is considered the best in the industry. The only negative aspect I could really find with the dashboard platform is that it is not customizable like some of the platforms offered by other online stock traders. Upon closer inspection, I found no customizable options for their mobile apps either, which might be annoying to more seasoned investors who want to customize items in the dashboard or on their smart phones. However, I do find this an extremely small price to pay for the overwhelmingly positive experience, tools, and service TD Ameritrade offers.
TD Ameritrade acquired Thinkorswim back in 2009 when Thinkorswim was a small, unknown, standalone broker that had developed a very robust and impressive trading platform geared for advanced users. TD Ameritrade ultimately paid $606 million to acquire that technology. It has since given the company a competitive edge in the industry; this platform is arguably the reason TD Ameritrade attracts every level of investor.
Thinkorswim is run as a desktop application and has dozens of charts that stream real-time market data, 300+ customizable technical studies (the highest of all the online stock brokers), and is embedded with CNBC TV, heat-mapping, stock scanners, back testing, and a virtual trading platform – a beloved feature for new users who can experience what it's like to trade without losing a penny. Thinkorswim is very well known in the industry and it is considered one of the best technologies traders can get their hands on today – it's super easy to use and every feature and tool it has is available with nothing more than a click.
The Competition
- E*TRADE: $0 trade fee; $0 minimum deposit. E*Trade is largely recognized by its humorous television commercials and it markets to a large audience and therefore maintains a valuable customer-oriented presence.
- Merrill Edge: Owned by Bank of America since 2010, Merrill Edge is affordable and would be beneficial for those who already have various BoA accounts.
- Ally Invest: Ally Invest has gone through several evolutions since its formation in 2005. It has now emerged as a formidable competitor with affordable rates that are attractive to new investors.
Customers are turning to TD Ameritrade because it offers everything all of the other major online stock brokerages offer, as well all the things each one tends to be lacking on. This could be anything from its investor education, user-friendly platform, or 24/7 customer service. Where each major online stock broker lacks, TD Ameritrade seems to pick up the slack.
What Others Are Saying
- TD Ameritrade settled with customers in 2011 after a 2007 hack that compromised most of its customers' names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, and trading activity.
- CNN reported that in 2009, TD Ameritrade settled a lawsuit alleging it had marketed auction rate securities as short-term investments and included a $456 million payment and the buyback of the securities, compensating investors for losses.
- PR Newswire announced on September 8th that a new technology, Financial Media Exchange (FMeX), will be joining TD Ameritrade.
- On September 1, 2016, The Street reported on a TD Ameritrade study that asked Millennials about their favorite stocks (spoiler: they were risky).
The Bottom Line
TD Ameritrade customers stay with the company and new users gravitate toward TD Ameritrade each year because it has a reputable name, strong trading platform that's incredibly easy to use, an impressive knowledge and research base, and 24/7 customer service.

Alaska Airlines Flight Attendant Mary Kesselring joins Captain Mike Swanigan to tell our audience about her 34-year career with the Airline.
Mary grew up in an Airline family. Her dad was a Veteran Captain and Check Airman for United Airlines. He Mom was a former "Stewardess" (that is what they were called at the time) for United.
When she was in College, the realization came that she was about to reach the age where she would lose the travel benefits from her Dad's employment at United Airlines. Mary decided to solve that problem by entering the airline career field and began applying for Flight Attendant positions at United Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
Alaska hired her, and the rest was history.
This interview is a wide-ranging discussion about Mary's journey and the rewards and difficulties of being in the Flight Attendant field.

It's 10:28 am on Saturday, April 11. The windows are open. The thermometer says 77 °, yet it feels like the AC is running. The sweet smell of jasmine is wafting in on a gentle west breeze. As I sit here with my first cup of coffee (slept in until 9:45) I think about my quality of life and can't help but conclude that life is good.
I grew up in trailers. We were usually broke, and I started working at 12 years old to buy my own clothes, much of my own food and any luxuries I wanted, such as record albums and video game tokens. I always swore that I would escape the stigma of poverty and rise above the "pay as you go" lifestyle in which I was raised. I did this to some degree. I moved to Florida to live with my mother and stepfather when I was 15. They were working hard, had two cars and were buying a house. They also had these magical pieces of plastic in their wallets that bought them things even when they had no cash. Wow, this was the life I wanted to live!
I graduated from high school and started working my way through college. My father and stepmother were hardworking, but they were not wealthy. I found a good-looking man who was in the Air Force, we moved in together, started a business and we decided to buy a house. In order to get a VA loan we had to be married. Chugging right on down the rails of the American Dream Express we shrugged our shoulders and said "What the heck".
Young and cocky I watched the stock market and fancied myself knowledgeable about economics and human nature. Phrases like "A home is the best investment you can make." and "The market is cyclical and based on speculation." were prone to pepper my conversations. In truth I really knew nothing about what makes the world go round. Little did I know that my world was about to shift poles.
Within a matter of weeks my business had fizzled, my husband came out of the closet and I could no longer pay my mortgage. Luckily we had worked out an owner finance lease purchase option, so I didn't have to default on a bank loan. In shock because of my radical transition I began engaging in risky behavior and ended up letting a sociopath move in with me. We tried to pay the $500.00 mortgage for a short while and I soon realized that I couldn't do this and support him (which is what it amounted to). I let the house go and moved to a cheaper place. I started delivering pizzas and waiting tables. College was now out of the picture for me, I was busting my ass just to cover my car payment and credit card bills. Due to a mis-communication with the bank my car was repossessed. Fortunately my restaurant job was two blocks away and I could easily walk to work. I picked up another table waiting job half a mile down the road and saved up to buy a bike. Since my father was a cosigner on my auto loan, he rescued the car from the bank and used it for his daily driver.
I spent a good many years partying too much and not taking life seriously. All the while my friends were getting degrees and/or starting families. I paid off thousands of dollars in credit card debt only to get new cards to start the cycle again. I lost count of the jobs I've held at somewhere around 30. Most of the time I had two at once and most of them I left out of boredom or frustration, but always on good terms.
Eight years ago I met AJ. We celebrated 5 years of marriage in February. We hopped on his father's wagon and moved to East central Florida to restart his construction business. Finally, a career where I could make as much money as I liked without having to go to college. AJ and I worked together and his father was ready to sponsor him for his own contractor's license. We stayed in a small RV while we scoped out the area for a house. I was back in a trailer park, although trailer parks in that area are quite different than the ones where I grew up. The majority of units were RVs and the park was full of transitory residents and part-time snowbirds.
I spoke to my mother and stepfather who had now bought a trailer in their park out in Colorado. Now an "expert" in the booming real-estate and construction market I told them that property values were skyrocketing and that they should buy a house. "I like living in a trailer." replied my stepfather. This statement confounded me. Why would anyone like living in a trailer? He elaborated "No mortgage, no property tax, no home owner's insurance. If a tornado hits you just get another trailer and start over. I don't owe anybody anything."
My stepfather, for all of his laid-back tendencies is a hard working, level-headed guy and probably about as sane as anyone you will meet. When the hurricanes hit our area, right after we got the building business started, I learned an important lesson: A person's home and their sanity are closely tied; and when they lose one, they often lose the other.
Suddenly, we saw the value in inexpensive, portable housing. For the next few years we moved around rebuilding storm damaged houses. We dealt with a number of people who appeared to have lost their marbles when their houses were damaged. Because a number of contractors engaged in criminal behavior we were suddenly the bad guys, despite the fact that all we did was help them get their insurance settlements and rebuild their homes to the highest of standards. We had to deal with people who threatened to sue us because they didn't like the color of carpet they selected or because we discovered pre-existing conditions not covered by their insurance policy. Being treated like a crook really took its toll on my psyche and I soon began to wonder if the money made in construction was worth the stress. This dilemma quickly became a non-issue as the building bubble burst with a deafening "Pop!".
We had lived off of savings and credit cards when we first moved down here. The money we made in construction afforded us to finance a large, used Travel Supreme fifth-wheel, a Dodge 35oo dually to pull it, an old Volvo sedan, a small Boston Whaler boat and a couple of kayaks. AJ is adamant about getting bills paid and we had the credit cards down to a manageable level. When our last rebuild customer turned out to be insane (partially due to toxic mold exposure) we spent a year trying to get her to co-operate and let us finish her house. She held our last payment and we had to initiate legal action to get a few thousand dollars. In the meantime we ended up living off of our credit cards again while we started up another business.
We saw the writing on the wall and got out of our truck payment. We actually sold the truck for a profit and paid cash for a smaller, less expensive truck. This was a lucky break, because within a few months the roadsides were lined with trucks and humvees that the contractors had bought and could no longer afford. We sold the kayaks and kept the boat and car, since they were paid for. We have found a new, recession-resistant career and are again making a decent income.
My paradigm has shifted gradually over the past few years. Although I have never had an interest in the trappings of wealth I had always imagined that there was an "Arrival Point" at which one becomes safe and comfortable with no more financial worries. This was my ultimate goal and I bought into the lie that it is a fact of life for any smart person who works hard and makes the right decisions. In a short span we have all watched the mythical ball of yarn unravel. And at the center of that ball is reality. Through my journey of understanding and acceptance I have been called such things as a "Conspiracy Theorist" and a "Survivalist", as though these are derogatory titles. I find it interesting to watch those, who so carelessly threw these terms around, slowly come into the realization that reality is much different than they once believed.
Your home is not necessarily your greatest investment. The government does not have your best interest in mind. There is no such thing as "guaranteed retirement". The list goes on.
The Jasmine. Our bedroom window is visible in the background.
I wish I could say that I have come to my reality through wise practices and good judgment. Unfortunately, that was not the case. When all of my friends hopped into the economic hamster wheel and started running I found the latch to the cage and wandered around the house. I don't especially recommend this. There is a big mean cat out there! But now I have returned to the cage with an understanding of what the greater environment holds while many of my peers are exhausted and still running towards that invisible goal. The difference is that that living the way we do can be frightening to so many people. They can't imagine life without having things and giving things to their children. Many of them are dependent upon their high paying jobs while the "Layoff Monster" lurks just beyond the doors of their heavily mortgaged homes.
How can I live in a trailer? Well, it's not even a trailer really, it's a fifth-wheel; and it's designed for economical comfort and utilizes every inch of space for storage and function. It is energy efficient and uses a fraction of the water wasted in most homes. It is also portable and when a hurricane looms we can pull out within an hour or two and carry ourselves and our meager belongings to safety.
No, we don't own it outright. We are on a 15 year payment plan, but our payments are less than the taxes and insurance on an average home. Our entire income is less than most of my friends pay for their mortgage! Now that housing prices are adjusting they all realize that they are losing equity in their homes. "Equity" there's another big lie for you. File that one right next to "Job Security".
Over the past few years I have slowly come to realize that we can safely assume nothing about our world. We cannot trust the leaders we believe we have "put in place". We cannot depend upon our homes, jobs or even our food to be there when we need them.
When a survival situation arrives all that anyone really needs is their health, survival skills and a community of like-minded people. Houses, cars and all the other trappings of "success" suddenly become a non-issue, if not a liability.
Speaking of community. As I was writing this post a neighbor deposited this gift in our yard. He picks up free paints and chemicals from the dump transfer station and brought us things we might use for our upcoming projects.
Wealth is nothing but an illusion. It falls into the lap of some, and they die never knowing how fortunate they were. For too many people it is a carrot that remains just out of reach. For the remainder it is something they work hard to acquire, so that they may retire to a trailer park in Florida where they can sleep until mid-morning, awaken to drink fresh ground coffee and enjoy the sweet scent of jasmine blowing through the open windows on a cool April breeze.
This is the illusion I choose until extreme survival mode sets in.

Still have those pesky love handles and bulges in the wrong spot even with diet and exercise? Melt those stubborn fat deposits away with CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ. Dr. Thomas Leach, medical director at the Princeton Center for Plastic Surgery, is a board-certified recipient of top-doctor awards year after year with numerous presentations to his credit, as well as hospital affiliation with the Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Dr. Leach brings more than 26 years of experience to his practice of plastic surgery and has been providing CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ to patients in the tri-state area for more than six years.
The CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ procedure requires no time off, no anesthesia, no needles, and no hospital stay as it targets and freezes fat cells, so they can be flushed out of your body. Developed by Harvard University scientists, tried and tested in Europe, FDA-approved, and used worldwide by more than six million patients, CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is noninvasive with patients walking out after the procedure to immediately resume their normal activities. Patients have been known to work remotely while the procedure is being done. Each procedure results in an average 20 percent reduction in fat in the treated area.
The science behind this revolutionary procedure is surprisingly simple: fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other cells. CoolSculpting safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target fat cells under the skin. The fat cells are frozen into crystals and then die. The body naturally eliminates the dead cells, leaving you trimmed and sculpted. Each treatment area requires about 35 minutes and multiple areas can be contoured on the same day.
Uniquely qualified to dispel doubts and answer all the questions a patient may have about CoolSculpting, Dr. Leach brings to his practice a perspective not always shared with other doctors — he has actually experienced the procedure. When approved by the FDA to provide this procedure, Dr. Leach was the first patient to be treated at Princeton Center for Plastic Surgery. He had no side effects and completed his normal workout routine that evening.
Dr. Leach's practice at the Princeton Center for Plastic Surgery includes treatment and surgery for multiple facial, skin, and body procedures including facelifts, blepharoplasty, fillers, chemical peels, Botox injections and scar revisions. Body contouring is done with the Smart Lipo Laser and typically can be done in the office. Breast procedures include enlargement, lifts, reductions, and reconstruction. Cancer patients are comforted to know Dr. Leach specializes in skin cancer reconstruction, as well as revision of oncological scars and deformities.
Patients can also take advantage of the Center's Medispa, where Dr. Leach and his team of professionals provide the latest in anti-aging skin care programs.
CoolSculpting may be the answer for your pesky fat deposits. Contact the Princeton Center for Plastic Surgery today for a private evaluation.

A man who has dedicated nearly 30 years to building and living off of his 500-acre farm is facing having his entire way of life shut down by the state government.
Eustace Conway, 51, who has been called 'The Last Great American Man' for his rustic way of living, could lose his camp in the Appalachian Mountains, his home for the past three decades.
The Watauga County Planning Department in North Carolina has found several health and sanitary violations in his encampment and has threatened to condemn the buildings.
Conway, who was given the title of the 'last great American man' by 'Eat, Pray, Love' author Elizabeth Gilbert in her 2002 biography, is fighting the department over their violations.
According to the Wall Street Journal, several officials showed up to his Turtle Island Preserve home and found that his outhouses, kitchens, and even the wood he's used to build several structures across the properties aren't up to snuff.
Now the planning department is demanding that Conway either tear down his structures or rebuild them in-line with public housing codes.
The naturalist is outraged.
'The whole foundation of the American experience is based on the experience of small farms,' he told WSOC TV. 'This is a small farm.'

Seventy-seven percent of counties across the country are currently suffering from severe shortages of behavioral health professionals. By 2025, the expected demand for treatment will create a shortage of over 15,000 workers.
The lack of experts in therapeutic professions is hurting those who desperately need the support. A recent Harvard University study found just 17 percent of phone calls placed to get an appointment with a mental health counselor were successful. Combine that bit of information with the other reports revealing more than one million Americans with opioid use disorders aren't even receiving treatment today…it's pretty clear we have a problem on our hands.
With opioid and alcohol abuse on the rise, our nation is dangerously imbalanced. As treatment waiting lists continue to grow, so do the number of deaths from overdose. This deadly disproportion exemplifies why we're in serious need of addiction treatment specialists.
New Possibilities for New Professionals
The University of Findlay (Findlay, OH) is doing its part to help fill this demand. As of this fall, the school will offer a new "substance use disorders" minor. Students will learn about many types of addictions. Once complete, the minor will allow them to apply for a counseling license.
The coursework will prepare professionals to assist those struggling with various types of dependencies, including:
- Food
- Sex
- Gambling
- Drugs and alcohol
This program approaches addiction from a disease perspective. It's designed to support a recovery-oriented systems of care model for addiction treatment.
"It's a new approach that they're taking in the area of recovery, meaning they are providing different levels of support for people that are in recovery," said Robin Walters-Powell, chair of social work and gerontology at the University of Findlay.
Laying the Groundwork
The executive director of the Hancock County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services approached the University's social work department about three years ago regarding this model. The University decided the best way to develop this treatment in the community was to offer coursework in the area of addictions.
To prepare professionals to support those in need, the minor includes four core classes:
- Alcohol and Other Drugs: The Fundamentals
- Approaches to Addiction Treatment
- Theory and Practice of Individual and Group Counseling
- Professional Ethics and Evaluation
In addition to offering the minor to UF students, the University is opening its classrooms to the community as a workshop. Non-students will receive a certificate upon completion of the program. Those obtaining this certificate or completing the minor will qualify to apply for a chemical dependency counselor assistant license. This licensure indicates has "a specialized area and knowledge and understanding of addictions."
This specialized knowledge will equip more professionals to fill the unmet need for treatment in our society. Graduates of one program won't completely meet the need, but it's a start.

The Most Popular Classical Albums of 2012
On "Two Lutes," the lutenists Ronn McFarlane and William Simms resurrect nearly 30 English Renaissance duets. © 2012 WQXR (New York)
The 'Eccho or Allmane' for two lutes by Marchant and Pilkington is a fine introduction to the lute-duet genre. The echo effect gives the listener a chance to attune the ears to each instrument. Danyel's 'Passamezzo' is a composition of great gravity and poetry. Kaleidoscopic arpeggiation and sly chromatic asides capture the ear in this piece. In the lovely, flowing triplets at the end, the composer's lyrical side shines through. McFarlane and Simms have an easy, amiable rapport. They play as equal partners, and it is a pleasure to hear. © 2012 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide online
Ronn McFarlane and William Simms have gone well beyond formal compositions by Elizabethan composers—the anonymous Robin is to the Greenwood Gone is performed with a dedication and passion which Dowland and his contemporaries would have felt honoured by.
This reviewer tried to make notes while listening to the duets. He was persistently but very happily prevented by the sheer pleasure of their content. © 2012 The WholeNote Read complete review
McFarlane is back in this new recording with Williams Simms, who was the theorbo and Baroque guitar player in the Vivaldi recording.
This recording is a treasure not to be missed, and of particular local interest…these exquisite performances by McFarlane and Simms bring the lute to life, illustrating clearly that it's not just for continuo, but a beautiful and unique voice in a collegial, convivial setting…revel in these delicious sounds; nothing at all like Robinson's "Catt in a gutter." © 2012 WETA Read complete review
On "Two Lutes," the lutenists Ronn McFarlane and William Simms recapture nearly 30 of these duets, most of which are seldom performed today.
"It feels like a conversation, with each lutenist posing musical questions and answers throughout," McFarlane explains of the music in the album's liner notes. At times the chordal accompaniment is very simple and repetitive, and a skilled player would want to vary his or her part to make it more satisfying. In this recording, the improvising skills of Simms come to the fore.
…Simms and McFarlane approach the recording with an air of warmth and accessibility. © 2012 WQXR (New York) Read complete review
Two Lutes delves into the 16th century and a bit into the early 17th, primarily featuring lute duets by John Johnson (1540-1594), John Danyel (1564-after 1625), John Dowland (1563-1626) and Thomas Robinson (c. 1560-1610). There are also a few works by other composers and a number of anonymous ones, some of the latter being quite well-known—Greensleeves and La Rossignol, to mention two. McFarlane and Simms balance their instruments with care and bring out the melodic and contrapuntal lines of all 27 short works on this Sono Luminus CD with skill and some very adept finger work. None of the pieces especially stands out on its own—not even Dowland's—but taken as a whole, they provide an involving and intricate listening experience using instruments and musical forms too pleasing to the ear to have fallen into total obscurity since the Renaissance (when the lute was the most popular of all instruments). © 2012 Infodad.com Read complete review

text: The Constable and I are having 20 people over for a Seder this weekend in our not very big one bedroom apartment. He's not thrilled about a bunch of our drunk guests running around the apartment complex looking for the afikomen (and I think we're both worried about people falling into the pool) and I'm pretty sure the afikomen would be found in 30 seconds in our apartment/people may not even be able to move around enough to look for it. So I was thinking we might be able to turn our patio into a little escape room where the afikomen is "hidden", but you have to find clues and solve puzzles to find it, not just look for the afikomen itself. Has anybody made their own escape room before? How hard is it? Any suggestions for puzzles/clues?

The summer is officially over if you couldn't tell. And only way we know how to deal with the bleakness is to book ourselves a trip. But with all our holiday allowance used in the summer and our funds taking a beating too, we're going to have to settle for a city break. But that doesn't mean we don't have options! So whether you want to relax before the Christmas rush or even want to get into the festive mood, here's what we think are the best winter weekends city breaks in Europe…
Bruges, Belgium
If you've only got enough holiday left to take a Friday and you want to get in the mood for Christmas, look no further than Bruges. The medieval city is basically a fairytale if Ralph Fiennes is to be believed and when the temperatures drop this Belgian masterpiece really does come into its own. The musk of fresh waffles fills the airs, horse-drawn carriages fill the cobbled streets, and crafted Belgian brews fill your belly.
During winter, Bruges has one of the largest Christmas markets on the continent, with wooden chalets surrounding a glittering ice rink next to the 83m-high belfry. It's also much easier to get to than many realise; you can catch the Eurostar from St Pancras International and with a quick change a Brussels, you can reach the city in just 3 and ½ hours. Small, beautiful and easy to get to, Bruges really is the ideal European winter city break.
Copenhagen, Denmark
The Nordics are naturally one of the best places to visit in winter. And when it comes to culture – art, design, fashion and food – no other city in Scandinavia comes close to competing with Copenhagen. Only 2 hours away on a plane, the Danish capital has it all with bars, galleries, restaurants, museums, shops and sites dotted around the city.
But at Christmas, the city transform itself. Tivoli Gardens in the heart of Copenhagen is a must for anyone visiting over the Christmas period. Essentially a giant theme park with 43 restaurants and a plethora of market stalls, over Christmas you can see over half a festive million lights, hear the Tivoli Youth Guard plays Christmas tunes and visit Santa Claus in his cozy bazaar. Perfect for all the family.
Dublin, Ireland
The weather doesn't really matter when it comes to Dublin. Famed for its cobbled streets and abundance of traditional pubs, whether it blazing summer sunshine or bitterly cold wintertime, this social hotspot is begging to be explored with an array of things to do. Temple Bar is where the city's livelier escapees are performed and you really should head to the Guinness Storehouse for a tour – even if you're not into the black stuff.
But it's not all booze and singalongs. For the more cultured Joes of you, the beautiful grounds of Trinity College are well worth a stroll – especially at Christmas – while the Old Library and its Book of Kells is as popular as ever with tourists. If you do go around Christmas time, one of Dublin's biggest markets is the popular 12 Days of Christmas Market at Dublin's Docklands, with over 80 stalls selling everything from wooden toys to warming mulled wine.
Cologne, Germany
Germany will always be perfect for a European city break. But around Christmas time, we make Cologne its standout. The West-German city hosts numerous markets throughout the run-up to Christmas with the most famous being held just outside Cologne Cathedral. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and is the largest yuletide market in the country with over 160 festive stalls.
If you've got little ones, Cologne has plenty else to offer too. The Alter Markt has a Santa's grotto, a puppet theatre and stands filled to the brim with toys. The Rudolfplatz is also well worth a visit with young and old transported to the world of the brothers Grimm. Cologne is only 4 and ½ hours away from London by train too, so it couldn't be more perfect for a 3/4-day break.
Edinburgh, Scotland
If you really are looking to watch the pennies before Christmas then you don't even need to cross an ocean to unwind this winter, with a romantic weekend away in Edinburgh difficult to beat. Not only does the city have plenty to do and see – with the strolls around the Castle and the Old Town absolute musts – Edinburgh also comes into its own when the temperatures fall and snow dusts the hilly streets.
At Christmas, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the capital from the top of the Big Wheel, skate on the St Andrew Square oval ice rink, or sample some festive delights from one of Edinburgh's numerous Christmas markets. It's also the perfect break if you've got kids thanks to Santa Land which can annually be found in Princes Street Gardens.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is undoubtedly one of the biggest bargains in Europe with flights in abundance and always relatively cheap. The Dutch city has the ambience of a European metropolis but does away with many of the big city annoyances – primarily, size. Amsterdam isn't the biggest city in the world which means you can walk or cycle, as the locals do, pretty much anywhere.
But its lack of square miles doesn't mean it's dull. Anything but. The canals and buildings mean it's great to look at it – especially when the snow settles – while its galleries and cafes make it perfect for culture vultures. But as we're sure you're aware, Amsterdam is just as superb for a rebellious weekend away with your mates before the mad Christmas rush. A city break must.
Bergen, Norway
Another Scandi location on our list, Bergen is one of the best kept secrets in Europe. Found at the start of the stunning Norwegian fjords and enclosed by breath-taking mountain views, you'd struggle to find many more picturesque cities on the continent than Bergen. Packing a rich musical and maritime history, as well as a thriving student social scene, the city has plenty of things to do, with museums, shops, restaurants and pubs throughout the city centre and well into the University in the south.
The picture-perfect old town of Bryggen, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is impossible to miss and is a great place to meander. While true Bergen's nickname as 'The City of the Seven Mountains', spectacular hilltop views of the city are available in every direction if you don't mind a short trek uphill. Bergen is also the ideal base if you want to check out the stunning Norwegian Fjords. For more info on Bergen, check out our City Guide!

Sunita Rajwar had earlier shared a long statement on Facebook, writing that her relationship and subsequent break-up with Nawazuddin Siddiqui wasn't how he portrayed in his book. Her doodles (on his wall) were something like that." Sunita Rajwar rejected this idea as well, saying that she never drew anything on his wall, then how could he paint the artwork all white again. She also pointed out various apparent loopholes in his narration. See Sunita Rajwar's long statement on Facebook too:
Also, while the Babumoshai Bandookbaaz actor claimed that even though he and Rajwar were both National School of Drama graduates, they never met on campus, she said that it is true that they didn't have any kind of relation in NSD but to say that they never met there was a little odd. In the memoir, Nawazuddin Siddiqui had written how after his break-up from Sunita Rajwar, he had decided that he would never be as emotional again in any relationship. See Nawazuddin Siddiqui's latest post here:
"I took a bucket of fresh white paint and began to replace her artwork on my walls with the blank canvas that they were before," writes Nawazuddin Siddiqui and even justifies that maybe Rajwar wanted to "date someone successful, not a struggling, desperate actor who was out of work." He also claims in the book that "today, Sunita tells everybody that she was once together with me in a very serious relationship."
Rebutting his claims, Sunita Rajwar wrote that Nawazuddin Siddiqui had always been a sympathy seeker, and that's why he claimed that she called their relationship off due to his financial status. For all the latest Entertainment News, download Indian Express App
© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd As a result, Siddiqui withdrew the memoir two days ago and apologised for hurting people's sentiments. He wrote that he was so affected by the end of their "deep, passionate love" that he "plunged into deep, deep depression" and was even thinking of committing suicide. A few days ago, she shared a long statement on Facebook, writing that her relationship and subsequent break-up with Siddiqui wasn't how he portrayed in his book. An excerpt from the book reads, "You remember those old-fashioned hearts with the names of lovers in it, sometimes with an arrow across it, sometimes without? In the post, she asked him how did he forget that she was more of a struggler at the time than him. Two of his former partners – actors Niharika Singh and Sunita Rajwar – publicly slammed the actor for writing, what they call "lies" about them and their respective relationships with the actor.

As indianexpress.com reached out to Sunita Rajwar for her comment on Siddiqui's latest move, she replied, "Thanks for your support. It's way too early to comment… As of now, I feel the damage has been done and now it is irreversible…"
Rajwar was Siddiqui's first girlfriend. While Nawazuddin had his own house to put up in, she had to move into a friend's apartment, Rajwar wrote.

Author(s): Julia Sweeney
Julia Sweeney was nearing forty, and quite famous, when she got on a flight to China to turn her life upside down. She had a flourishing career as a comedienne and performer, ample friends and admirers, but what she didn't have was a child and, after a string of non-committal boyfriends, she decided to adopt alone. Mulan was one-and-a-half years old when she met her new mother, and every bit as feisty as the Disney character (whom she was emphatically not named for). If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother is the story of this unexpected mother-daughter pair who eventually became - to Julia's astonishment and in a hilariously unconventional way - a mother-daughter-father trio. From being mistaken for her daughter's grandmother to her tragically short-lived belief that knitting a man a sweater will make him commit to you, Julia's memoir is at once hilarious, poignant, provocative and wise. It is a story of adoption, Hollywood, dogs, death, marriage, Santa Claus, race and religion, the birds, the bees (and the frogs...) and everything else along the way.
A memoir of motherhood and marriage that will make you laugh and cry - and then laugh again
This is the sort of book that made me want to be the person who wrote it. Pithy, painful and very, very funny Emma Thompson What a gift! If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother is an intimate and hilarious book that will leave you resenting your mother less, hugging your children tighter and glowing with gratitude that Julia Sweeney has put it all into words Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette Reading If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother gave me the delightful sensation of being Julia Sweeney's best friend. I curled up in bed with this book and we shared secrets, swapped parenting fiascos and boyfriend dramas, complained about our mothers, laughed a lot, cried a little, and just generally had an awesome time. Write another book soon, Ms. Sweeney! Legions of your friends are waiting! Ayelet Waldman, author of Red Hook Road and Bad Mother What a delicious treat! Julia Sweeney is one of the truest, warmest, wittiest voices in the world today, and we're so lucky that she spent her precious alone-time (while her husband and daughter were away) writing a book that invites everyone into her heart and home Cindy Chupack, writer/executive producer of HBO's Sex and the City and author of The Between Boyfriends Book Any new creative offering from Julia Sweeney is a cause for celebration. She is a spectacular combination of insightful, hilarious and honest. So, yay! A new book from Julia Sweeney! Drinks are on me! Merrill Markoe, author of Cool, Calm, and Contentious
Julia Sweeney was a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1990-1994. She has also written and performed in several successful, critically acclaimed one-woman shows, including God Said Ha!, which played on Broadway and was made into a film, and Letting Go of God, which was performed Off-Broadway and made into a film. She lives outside of Chicago, Illinois. If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother is her first book. @juliasweeney http://juliasweeney.blogspot.com
