Three Feathers
THERE was once on a time a King who
had three sons, of whom two were clever and wise, but the third did not
speak much, and was simple, and was called the Simpleton. When the King
had become old and weak, and was thinking of his end, he did not know
which of his sons should inherit the kingdom after him. Then he said to
them, "Go forth, and he who brings me the most beautiful carpet shall
be King after my death." And that there should be no dispute amongst
them, he took them outside his castle, blew three feathers in the air,
and said, "You shall go as they fly." One feather flew to the
east, the other to the west, but the third flew straight up and did not
fly far, but soon fell to the ground. And now one brother went to the
right, and the other to the left, and they mocked Simpleton, who was forced
to stay where the third feather had fallen. He sat down and was sad, then
all at once he saw that there was a trap-door close by the feather. He
raised it up, found some steps, and went down them, and then he came to
another door, knocked at it, and heard somebody inside calling ,
"Little green maiden small,
The door opened, and he saw a great, fat
toad sitting, and round about her a crowd of little toads. The fat toad
asked what he wanted? He answered, "I should like to have the prettiest
and finest carpet in the world." Then she called a young one and
"Little green maiden small,
The young toad brought the box, and the fat
toad opened it, and gave Simpleton a carpet out of it, so beautiful and
so fine, that on the earth above, none could have been woven like it.
Then he thanked her, and ascended again. The two others had, however,
looked on their youngest brother as so stupid that they believed he would
find and bring nothing at all. "Why should we give ourselves a great
deal of trouble to search?" said they, and got some coarse handkerchiefs
from the first shepherds' wives whom they met, and carried them home to
the King. At the same time Simpleton also came back, and brought his beautiful
carpet, and when the King saw it he was astonished, and said, "If
justice be done, the kingdom belongs to the youngest." But the two
others let their father have no peace, and said that it was impossible
that Simpleton, who in everything lacked understanding, should be King,
and entreated him to make a new agreement with them. Then the father said,
"He who brings me the most beautiful ring shall inherit the kingdom,"
and led the three brothers out, and blew into the air three feathers,
which they were to follow. Those of the two eldest again went east and
west, and Simpleton's feather flew straight up, and fell down near the
door into the earth. Then he went down again to the fat toad, and told
her that he wanted the most beautiful ring. She at once ordered her great
box to be brought, and gave him a ring out of it, which sparkled with
jewels, and was so beautiful that no goldsmith on earth would have been
able to make it. The two eldest laughed at Simpleton for going to seek
a golden ring. They gave themselves no trouble, but knocked the nails
out of an old carriage-ring, and took it to the King; but when Simpleton
produced his golden ring, his father again said, "The kingdom belongs
to him." The two eldest did not cease from tormenting the King until
he made a third condition, and declared that the one who brought the most
beautiful woman home, should have the kingdom. He again blew the three
feathers into the air, and they flew as before.
Then Simpleton without more ado went down
to the fat toad, and said, "I am to take home the most beautiful
woman!" "Oh," answered the toad, "the most beautiful
woman! She is not at hand at the moment, but still thou shalt have her."
She gave him a yellow turnip which had been hollowed out, to which six
mice were harnessed. Then Simpleton said quite mournfully, "What
am I to do with that?" The toad answered, "Just put one of my
little toads into it." Then he seized one at random out of the circle,
and put her into the yellow coach, but hardly was she seated inside it
than she turned into a wonderfully beautiful maiden, and the turnip into
a coach, and the six mice into horses. So he kissed her, and drove off
quickly with the horses, and took her to the King. His brothers came afterwards;
they had given themselves no trouble at all to seek beautiful girls, but
had brought with them the first peasant women they chanced to meet. When
the King saw them he said, "After my death the kingdom belongs to
my youngest son." But the two eldest deafened the King's ears afresh
with their clamour, "We cannot consent to Simpleton's being King,"
and demanded that the one whose wife could leap through a ring which hung
in the centre of the hall should have the preference. They thought, "The
peasant women can do that easily; they are strong enough, but the delicate
maiden will jump herself to death." The aged King agreed likewise
to this. Then the two peasant women jumped, and jumped through the ring,
but were so stout that they fell, and their coarse arms and legs broke
in two. And then the pretty maiden whom Simpleton had brought with him,
sprang, and sprang through as lightly as a deer, and all opposition had
to cease. So he received the crown, and has ruled wisely for a length
of time.
Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm. Household Tales. Margaret Hunt, translator. London: George Bell, 1884, 1892. 2 volumes.
From Zwehrn; but we have frequently heard the story in Hesse, and there are usually variations in the three tasks which are set. Thus the finest linen yarn is demanded, which is given to Dummling (Simpleton) by a spinning-maiden in a subterranean cavern; the most beautiful carpet, which she also weaves for him; and, finally, the most beautiful woman. Dummling has to take a frog and leap into the water with it, on which it changes into the most beautiful girl. Or else a toad is given him, which he has to place on the bench by him as his wife. From thence it springs on to the table, then on the plate, and then, to the horror of all who are dining with him, into the dish. It will only sit quietly when on the salad. Then Dummling has to take hold of it, and lay it in a bed, and then cut it straight through its heart with a sharp sword; something cracks, and a beautiful maiden is lying there, who far surpasses the brides of the brothers in beauty. Afterwards the father gives each of his three sons an apple, and the one who throws it the farthest is to inherit the kingdom. The youngest son's apple flies the farthest, but as he is quite too stupid, the father will not let him have the power, and demands twenty score yards of linen in a nutshell. The eldest travels to Holland, the second to Schleswig, where fine linen was said to be, the third and stupid one goes into the forest, where a nutshell falls from a tree, and in it is the linen. Afterwards the father asks for a dog small enough to jump through his wedding-ring, and then for three hanks of yarn which will go through the eye of a needle, all of which Dummling brings. Or else it is that the one shall inherit the kingdom who brings back with him the most delightful perfume. The stupid one comes to a house where a cat is sitting outside the door, which asks "Why art thou so sad?" "Alas, thou canst not help me!" 'Come, let me hear! Tell me what thou art in need of?" The cat procures the best scent for him. The opening of the story is manifold-the father drives stupid Hans away, because he is too stupid for anything. He goes to the sea-shore, sits down, and weeps. Then comes the toad, who is an enchanted maiden; at her bidding he leaps with her into the water, struggles with her, and wins himself the kingdom, whilst she thus regains her beautiful human form. The Snake maiden in the Deutsche Sagen (i. 13) should be compared with this. The story is to be found, pp. 271-286, in the Brunswick Collection. In Büsching's, p. 268, Von der Padde. In Zingerle, p. 348. In D'Aulnoy, La Chatte Blanche, No. 19. It is also told in Swedish, in Cavallius, p. 300 (see further on). In Norwegian, in Asbjörnsen, p. 160. In Polish, Lewestam, p. 101. In Albanian, in Hahn, 2. 166, 167. In Servian, in Wuk, No. 11.
For blowing feathers, which are to be followed, the Altd. Wälder, 1. 91, should be seen. Aventin, in the Bavarian Chronicle, p. 98b, says, "There is a common proverb, which is generally used by such as wish, or are obliged, to till strange lands. 'I will blow a feather, and where it flies, I will follow.'" Indeed, at this very day, people in Hesse say, "Which way will that man blow his feather? Whither will he go?" Compare also Völundurs Lied, where one brother goes east, the second south, and the third stays at home. A similar custom was observed by the discontented Norwegians who left their fatherland under Harald Harfager, and emigrated to Iceland. It frequently happened that on approaching the island the captain threw overboard a piece of a chair which usually stood in the place of honour in the house. This fragment was adorned with a carving of the head of Thor or some other god, and the leader chose the place where it drifted to shore as the central point of the tract of land of which he was about to possess himself. But in the Persian Firdusi something of the same kind can be traced (Görres, i. 136). Sal went to descry the position of the enemy. He shot one arrow straight up towards heaven; he fixed spears in three places; and he shot three arrows across the stream, to serve as signs to the army where to assemble and make the attack.

So after we went to a movie, Snakes On A Plane. Snakes was surprisingly better than I thought, in a cute, B-movie kind of way. Not excellent. But it was okay. There were some funny parts and some very gory parts. I liked when the huge Anaconda tried to swallow the snotty english dude (English people are generally given bad roles in American movies) and when the bodyguard piloted the plane to safety with his PS2 knowledge.
Then, Jenn decided to stay over, and bring Ulysses with her. We got home, watched a movie (Before Night Falls) which was about a Cuban writer who was jailed and stuff, and exiled cause he was gay. Johnny Depp appeared to be in this movie, but really didn't have a huge part as the transvestite/weird lieutenant dude. In the end of the movie he gets exiled to New York, and after living there he dies of AIDS. It was a depressing movie. After that I read about 20 pages of Ulysses, which brings me to 550. Jenn read Ulysses too.
Jenn=Left w/ long hair Hilary=Right w/short hair
Then this morning, we heard Sounds Like Canada. I'd like to thank the dude who wrote in, grateful of my Jefferson Airplane selection. Not everyone listens to only Frank and Nancy Sinatra from 1967. I was also astonished at being called a "14year old wonder girl". Thanks Jian, my mum's laughing at me now. I hope everyone liked my message (and Jenn's also), and I meant no offense to those over 39, because you guys are as fresh as daisies. "Old man" just has a nice ring to it.

Because He Loves Us and Wants Us to Be Happy, Sir Ian McKellen Will Play Sherlock Holmes
By Vivian Kane | Industry | September 3, 2014 |
By Vivian Kane | Industry | September 3, 2014 |
If you love the character of Sherlock Holmes but Benedict Cumberbatch (or Robert Downey Jr) is just too young and sexy for you to handle, good news! We have an older, but still sexy, Sherlock coming our way. Ian McKellen will play the title role in a new movie called Mr. Holmes, based on the Mitch Cullin novel A Slight Trick of the Mind. The whole team behind this is impressive enough to get our hopes way up. It will be directed by Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters), and adapted by the playwright Jeffrey Hatcher (Stage Beauty).
The story finds Holmes back from Japan, where he has witnessed the devastation of the atomic bomb. Living in a remote seaside farmhouse, he spends his last days tending bees with only his housekeeper (Linney) and her young son for company. Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits an unsolved case that forced him into retirement. He also searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love.
That description could have stopped after "tending bees" and I would still watch this movie 100 times. Throw in Laura Linney and McKellen bonding with a presumably adorable child, and it's like cinematic Christmas. Now the only question is who will play Watson to McKellen's Holmes?
Just kidding. There's only one option.

The Japanese video-game giant Nintendo has had a rough decade. Ten years ago, the company was riding high on the commercial and cultural success of the Wii, its physical-controller console, and the DS, its popular handheld. Nintendo's stature—and its stock price—climbed to record highs by 2007. But flailing Wii remotes around in the den proved to be a short-lived trend more than a lasting lifestyle. The 2012 high-definition follow-up, Wii U, disappointed critics and consumers, and the company's value had dropped by 80 percent by late that year.
Things haven't gotten much better since. Nintendo's part-interest in The Pokémon Company gave it some lift after this summer's Pokémon Go phenomenon, but by Halloween the game had already shed 60 percent of its users. As winter approached, the stock was trading at 2000 prices, and the company was again considered a third wheel to Microsoft and Sony in the video-game sector.
This month, two new Nintendo products offer insights into the state of the company, its work, and its legacy. One looks back, the other forward. Both anxiously.

Does the thought of buying furniture excite or excited? If you think you're overwhelmed, you need to get an education on the process. The article will help you learn all your furniture questions.
When buying a sofa, consider longevity first, then worry about comfort. Cushions are best supported by a system of springs. Hand-tied springs are ideal, but the serpentine ones work too if they're in good shape. You may be able to feel the springs through the fabric in order to test them. Good quality springs should be firm and are also close together.
Look into the options at thrift shops. Perhaps it has been a long time since you have visited a thrift store, or at least not in a long time. You are able to find some excellent pieces of furniture in them. You might find small pieces most of the time, but sometimes they have larger pieces like couches that will work for your needs.
You should test the pieces of furniture that you want to buy. You may be tempted to buy a sofa online, but unless you have tested the same one in person, you might be disappointed when it arrives. You may discover that the cushions' firmness or the way the material feels. It is better to only buy the things you are sure you love it.
Furniture pieces that is neutral in color should be your priority choice. Neutral pieces are easier to change and art. You will have more choices when you use neutral furniture and they tend to match decor better. There are a wealth of neutral furnishings in the marketplace that will work perfectly with your decor.
Pick out a material that's durable and will stand the test of time. You need to get the most out of your investment. Furniture can be expensive and you have to select things that are made to last. Metal or hardwood will usually last for a long time.
Read the furniture's warranty prior to making a furniture purchase.You don't want to be stuck with a defect or something that you thought were covered under warranty.
Don't be in a hurry to buy all your furniture at one time unless you must. You may want to buy just one piece and add more pieces as your budget allows.
Test out any used furniture before you are considering. You need to know that the furniture will hold up and that there isn't any damage that's hidden. Flipping something over can reveal maker's marks that will give you a better idea of its value.
Make sure the bed or couch you are thinking of buying furniture that is made to relax on. You spend a lot of time in bed and on your couch, so they should not only be pretty but very comfortable.
Figure out when it's the best to purchase particular furniture.Just as stores have white sales periodically for linens, various industry events can determine the best times to buy furnishings as well. Find out what those times are so you can get the best deal.
You may be missing out a few furniture store deals. These special deals tend to be placed in newspapers or junk mail.
These items can be very difficult to incorporate into your home at a later time.
Always inspect the drawers on a piece of furniture. You should easily be able to tell if the piece was well made. The door should slide in and should be even when you open or close it. The furniture will last longer if the pieces fit together properly. Cheap furniture will not worth it in the long run.
Is someone that you know moving in the move? Ask if they plan to leave any of their furniture behind. You can get cheap or even free furniture this way.
Examine the workmanship on all pieces to make sure it is crafted properly. Are the buttons on it sewn on securely? Is the trim lined up perfectly? If you notice that this isn't the case, then look at something else since this piece is probably not of good quality.
Take measurements of your room prior to bringing any furniture. Once the item is at your house, you are stuck with it if it does not fit. Measure first to save yourself the area prior to buying anything so it's not a hassle.
Check all the drawers before buying it. Be certain to pull the drawers out and then shut them again. Open up the cabinets and then close them. Be sure that sticks. Make sure the drawers can remain open without looking like they will fall. It's crucial that your furniture functions properly.
Keep your lifestyle in mind when buying furnishings.You might find a beautiful white sofa, but with kids and pets, this couch can quickly be ruined.
Take the home's style into consideration when furniture shopping. Modern structures call for modern furnishings; whereas, while rustic style furniture will be out of place in a modern styled condo.You may end up regretting your furniture selections if they don't complement the look of your home.
Does the thought of furniture shopping still intimidate you? Hopefully, the information in this article has helped you to realize that furniture shopping does not have to be scary and can actually be a lot of fun. Use all the above ideas whenever you need a new piece of furniture.

Allergy Insight is dedicated to topical issues concerning allergy — in particular food allergy — as well as coeliac disease / gluten-related disorders, food intolerance, restricted diets, 'free from' food, veganism / vegetarianism, gut disorders such as IBS, and other food hypersensitivities.
To navigate, use the drop-down menu above or see below for recent articles.
It's December, it's (almost) Christmas, it's … panettone season! But finding either vegan, or gluten-free, or even nut-free panettoni is not always easy. This year, happily, there are several options in each category. Here they are.
Those who have allergies to multiple ingredients, such as preservatives, fragrances and food allergens, often look for 'allergy free' or ultra hypoallergenic beauty products. But what to choose if you have many sensitivities? Here's a round-up of recommendations.
Gluten-free shampoo? Does anyone really need it? Possibly — yes. But perhaps not for the reasons you may imagine. In this post, I look at Herbal Essences' advertising of their GF shampoo, and address what's wrong with it and with their product labelling.
Those with salicylate intolerance or following the Guaifinesin protocol for fibromyalgia often struggle to find salicylate free skincare products. Here's a round-up of those available.
Goody Good Stuff sweets make a gluten-free claim, but also warn that their products 'may contain traces of wheat'. Is this a problem for those with coeliac disease? As it turns out — no. Here's why.
PPD allergy has been a huge problem for some women who want to dye their hair permanently, and the risks to those not yet sensitised could be considerable. Could the new so-called 'allergy friendly' ME+ molecule be a solution? This post investigates.
Some with coeliac are angry at vegans for daring to suggest that their circumstances are comparable. One may be a disease, and another an ethical ideology, but there are similarities between the two, not least in the eternal problem of finding safe food … Click here for more.
There was a lot of anger recently when Starbucks announced it was introducing oat milk into its branches. Vegans already have dairy-free options, cried some coeliacs, concerned about cross-contamination. Were they right to complain? Read more.
If you're susceptible to excess FODMAPs in your diet and have IBS, can digestive enzymes help? Some might be able to, but the evidence for others is modest. Here are some which may be able to ease symptoms.
Do you always conduct a hair dye allergy test when you're about to colour your hair – even when it's a product you've safely used before? You should, but is the great variation in guidance and instruction causing apathy among women? Read more here.
Gluten free oats should still be highlighted as an allergen on all ingredients labels, but huge brands such as Genius Foods, Nairn's and Nature's Path have yet to fall in line. Click here for more about this ongoing problem.
Are oats really good for eczema? The answer is probably yes – but caution is advised in the very young, and where there is broken skin, as this could potentially increase the risk of allergy. Read on …
Many with coeliac are confused by the occasional presence of 'wheat' or 'barley' on their gluten-free food and drink labels, but there is likely to be an innocent explanation, and it's all to do with the 14 declarable allergens in the EU. Read more here.
Introducing the new release of The Beginner's Guide to Histamine Intolerance, by Dr Janice Joneja – one of the world's foremost experts on this curious, little-known food intolerance. Might you be effected by excess histamine in the diet. If so, how can you find out – and what can you do about it? This book explores what you need to know. Review here.
PPD is a potentially dangerous allergen, found in many hair dyes, which can cause extremely serious reactions. This article looks at the problem, and lists some PPD-free hair colour recommendations for you to try.

An inspiring visit to Ms. Ramsey Bryant's Classroom
October 10, 2017
By Julie Leeth
More like a summer Ozarks day with temperatures pushing 85 degrees, I arrived at John Thomas School of Discovery, a STEM school, located in Nixa, Missouri, early this October. Upon my arrival, I was greeted and escorted by Matthew Price, a most personable and talkative sixth grader, we arrived at Hannah Ramsey Bryant's classroom.
Ms. Ramsey Bryant was a member of the Ozarks Teacher Corps in 2014-15. She participated in a year-long internship through Missouri State University and Nixa as a part of her student teaching experience. Hannah is now in her second year of teaching at John Thomas School of Discovery in Nixa.
During my visit, I experienced a "typical day" with Hannah's engaged students. First, they lined up to go to the greenhouse to make observations on soil tests as well as to check on raised garden plots filled with a variety of veggies. Levi and Matthew explained to me that they had hit a rough spot with their soil experiment when the water source didn't reach their plants. Undaunted by the set back, they explained their soil concoction to me. They're confident that they have a winning mix of fish fertilizer, perlite plant nutrient, limestone and topsoil. Their next attempt at lettuce should prove productive!
At the raised gardens, one plot of radishes is flourishing. The duo of Sidney and Kelsey tell me they are pleased with the plants, but indicate that they need to do some serious weeding and thinning in order to give the radishes the best shot possible. Meanwhile, Gavin, Dex and Audrey are tending to end of the season tomatoes that they have determined have passed their prime! Time to pull the plug on this bed!
How did these students end up in such a wonderful "classroom"? Hannah received two grants during the process of building the greenhouse through the Rural Schools Partnership conservation program. One of the grants helped to winterize and establish drainage for the growing projects.
Back in the classroom, a discussion ensued about a vacant lot across the street that the school district has purchased. These sixth graders have been given the opportunity to devise a plan to develop the area for some type of community park or gathering spot. They tossed around a playground, butterfly park and an equestrian center! These young planners and scientists are engaged in the beginning of an analysis of the project, producing lists of wants and needs to start the conversation.
My entire visit to Ms. Ramsey Bryant's class took place in the course of about 45 minutes. Hannah's class was knee deep in place-based learning and fully engaged in problem-solving, collaboration, observation, inquiry and even disagreement -- and all of it was taking place in an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust, civility and empowerment.
I walked out of the school feeling renewed and invigorated knowing that the future is in the hands of competent teachers and bright young people who are learning and using skills that most adults may have forgotten. There are lessons to be learned.

I do not need to to tell you in the Season of Eastertide that Resurrection is not just for a moment, it is the essence of who we are as the people of Jesus Christ. As you pray in this time I would lift up these prayer concerns to you....
1) Our world and nation...In a time of pain and anguish, many search for hope. I pray that the salvation of Jesus Christ can be shared in more powerful way than ever before.
2) For those pastors and churches in transition....I know itinerancy is part of our makeup as United Methodists but it is never an easy thing.
3) Today begins ... the serious matter of how accountability, justice and grace are defined in our whole denomination.
4) For the Special Session of General Conference that is being called for February 2019 in St. Louis....I ask a special prayer that while many people lift up their voices, we would all take time to listen for God to speak.
5) As we gather . . . While it is a new venue, it is a time when we redefine collegiality and rediscover a common call. I pray that you also come to celebrate those from York District who was ordained, commissioned, and sent blessed as Local Pastors and CLM's.
I hope you will join me in prayer....Charlie

Same crew as in the crew from two years ago?
If we're taking the recent WB crew then the following doesn't hold true which is basically what I was saying.
Whitebeard Pirates are not your average Emperor crew, otherwise Oda wouldn't have emphasized on their rivalry with the Roger Pirates and their continous battles against them. They are a Pirate King level crew, that has weakened(death of the 2nd division commander, Whitebeard got old) and became regular Emperor level crew.
I know but thats what started this discussion the idea that Vista can fodderize cracker the counter being its silly because they are both yonkou top 3s.
Or in other words the problem is not that its completely unresonable that one yonkou crew can be significantly stronger then another. Its a yonkou top 3 getting shit stomped by another yonkou top 3.
Most people are fine with a theortical. One yonkou crew gets beat high diff by another yonkou crew.

But that wasn't apart of what I was arguing at all. I'm pretty sure I even made specific reference and broke down several times what I meant. In addition, some that I was arguing with would disagree completely that one Yonkou crew can be stronger than another and that the differences between the four are marginal at best.
So the original discussion was never anything I was arguing for which is why I pinpointed a specific part of the argument to discuss and we still had people lump me in with amorphous amalgamations of arguments from who knows how many people and people who think the aforementioned about Yonkou strengths.
Luffy should not be able to put up a fight. He's been getting no diff'd - kick aside - so at most low diff. But Oda will be Oda.
yet ye all doubted
トキオ Love.$ex.Dreams (≧◡≦) ♡ l Feels Like Summer l
Time to downgrade Marco
Instead of timeskipping, Oda does this which I prefer even if its asspullish
Extreme unless it's revealed he had more moves he could have pulled out.
Bit weird his final move didn't involve Awakening and/or his Spear, but an enlarged spiky arm he already failed to do very much damage with?
This was indisputably the most high intensity and down to the wire fight weve seen in OP
Unlike virtually all of luffys other bouts where he has had a decisive edge over his opponent in either the speed or power department, katakuri had his measure in everything (except durability) for the entirety of the fight, so he can definitely be considered the toughest opponents hes faced.
The highest possible extent of extreme diff.
Not everyone dies because they want to die.
Most of them die against their will

More About Spring Concert with Susquehanna Chorale thru 5/12
This concert celebrates the roots - spiritual, relational, musical - that give us wings; the experiences that provide the stability we need to dream, take risks, to soar!
The program opens with songs celebrating our faith and musical roots. Among them are Faure's Cantique de Jean Racine, American spirituals, and the perfect melding of the concept of "roots and wings" with Rhonda Sandberg's modern arrangement of Bach's Come, Sweet Death.
The modern lullaby Jenny Rebecca, Bob Chilcott's setting of Christina Rosetti's poem "Remember Me," and Eriks Esenvald's stunning setting of Sara Teasdale's "Only in Sleep" all speak movingly of the experience of looking back at our earliest or most important passages.
Songs from early America conclude the program, among them old American folk songs and Shawn Kirchner's arrangement of the 19th-century hymn Angel Band, which movingly combines the threads of faith, relational, and musical roots.
The Susquehanna Chorale, founded in 1981 by Artistic Director Linda Tedford, has emerged as one of the outstanding choral ensembles in the United States. The 36-voice chamber choir is recognized by critics and audiences alike for its commitment to excellence and for its artistic interpretation of choral works of many styles and historical periods. Reflecting its dedication to the music of our time, the group has performed the East Coast premieres of many outstanding works, and it has commissioned several new works for its concert series. Past seasons have included performances at the Washington National Cathedral, conventions of the American Choral Directors Association, the PA House of Representatives at the State Capitol, and most recently at Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York. The Chorale has also toured Great Britain, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. In addition to performing regularly with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra, the Susquehanna Chorale is the Ensemble in Residence at Messiah College in Grantham, PA. The Susquehanna Chorale is honored to be the recipient of Chorus America's highest national award: The Margaret Hillis Achievement Award for Choral Excellence. The group's cds have received national recognition, with two – Wondrous Love and American Treasures – receiving consideration for a Grammy nomination.
The Chorale is funded, in part, by the Cultural Enrichment Fund, the capital region's united arts fund, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Tickets are available through the Chorale's web site or by calling the Messiah College box office. Also, discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.

Wow! I am loving tour! This week has been amazing.
Tuesday night in Kansas...Wednesday night in Missouri...Thursday night in Arkansas and last night in Texas...whew! Today, our Furnace team hangs in San Antonio. I have been calling this the "Circle Oklahoma Tour" because we finish tomorrow night in Amarillo and make a clockwise circle around Oklahoma. Which bums me out because I grew up there!
Anyway, we have had fervent nights of worship and prayer in each church. I've been so amazed at how people press in and pray. Jared Anderson is a trooper. He leads worship each night. Each night has been really well attended too. It's been awesome. Young people are so eager to experience God and see miracles in their lives. The flow and prayer points each night have been a little different but the spiritual hunger remains constant.
God is so good.

12/10/2018 "The Black Economy 50 Years After The March On Washington"
Theology Thursdays: In This House On This Morning by Playthell Benjamin
Although I am not a religious man I am often compelled to defend the church, especially the black church. In this I am much like my intellectual hero Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois. Returning to America after a stint working on a Doctor of Economics degree at the Kaiser Wilhelm University in Germany then considered the leading university in the world - where by his own estimate he was educated within an inch of my life Dubois was a skeptic about the claims for divine providence. And like Du Bois, who referred to the African Methodist Episcopal Church the first church founded by Africas descendents in the new world as one of the most magnificent institutions ever organized by men, I too am in awe of the sheer splendor of the African American Church. As Zora Neale Hurston said, it is a place that houses a religion for people who love magnificence and cant get too much of it! That the church has been the rock upon which black folks stood when all else failed is an eternal truth that none can deny. On this question every head must bow in acknowledgement and every tongue must confess it. The service was magnificent from the outset as we stood and sang that moving anthem penned by the Brothers Johnson James Weldon and J. Rosamond Lift Every Voice and Sing! The sanctuary of the Nazarene church is a model of elegance amid simplicity. Because it is a protestant church that adheres to the commandment against graven images there is none of the elaborate statuary that adorns the sanctuaries of Catholic churches. But the beautiful stained glass windows extend up to the ceiling as if offering an artful prayer to heaven. The entire sanctuary is a marvel of design, with beautiful varnished wood ceilings and elaborately painted walls across the sanctuary facing the colorful windows. It looks like a place worthy of the body of Christ. For 132 years black New Yorkers have gathered together to seek Gods blessing in this hallowed space. On this occasion some luminaries of the black world turned out to celebrate the men of this church, and among those singled out for special recognition by Pastor Conrad Tillard was the venerable Harlem minister Rev. William James whom he called a mentor, and the award winning Spanish language broadcaster Malin Falu, host of the nationally and internationally televised show Dialogues Coast to Coast on the Hispanic Information Television Network. Over the course of our sojourn in America the Nazarene Congregational Church provided a podium from which some of the greatest figures in the black world have alerted the community to the dangers we faced along the way, while the congregation was fortified with song and prayer. For many years during the golden age of this venerable institution Dr. E.E. Proctor was Pastor to the flock. I first encountered Dr. Proctor in Dusk of Dawn, the first autobiography of Dr. Dubois, who singled him out as one of the most impressive of his classmates at Fisk and praised his good works as a man of the cloth later in life. And in selecting the dynamic young preacher Rev. Conrad Tillard, the contemporary congregation at Nazarene has demonstrated that they intend to march on in this great tradition of committed leadership. In 1931 the King of Swaziland spoke to this congregation and told of the protracted struggle for black liberation in Southern Africa. But in this House on this morning the annual mens day ceremony the worlds greatest trumpeter and Pulitzer Prize winning composer had come to anoint us with wisdom and understanding, relating the history of Afro-American sacred music with learned speech and marvelous music. It is altogether fitting and proper that Wynton should come to this black church and make music, since it was from these houses of worship that the grand tradition of Afro-American music was born. The number of great musicians who got their start in the black church are far too numerous to even attempt a listing here, but suffice it to say that among their number can be found leading musical artists of every genre. They range from the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, to the greatest of all modern percussionists Max Roach, to the path breaking saxophonist Jackie McLean, to the greatest living classical singers: Jessye Norman, Grace Bumbry, Leontyne Price, Kathleen Battle, et al. The illustrious array of musicians alone would justify the mission of the black church, but when it comes to the great leaders of the race whose good works have enriched the nation at large the black church provides an embarrassment of riches! It was a day when the church recognizes the good work of the men in the congregation. It was an impressive ceremony in dark proud men that grabbed your attention and tugged at the heart strings of all who were lucky enough to witness it. Praise poems came forth from the children and the wives, as well as from brothers acknowledging the good works of one another. It was the kind of ceremony that filled our hearts with joy; it was enough to drive a godless heathen to tears. And when they sang one of Paul Robesons favorite spirituals created by our enslaved ancestors, those Black and Unknown Bards of whom the poet James Weldon Johnson sang I wept. And when the Reverend Tillard, standing in the high pulpit decked out in the princely robes of his sacred office, offered up a passionate prayer of searing power and eloquence to the melodious sounds of the Grand piano, many in the audience felt the spirit and were moved deep in their souls. By the time Rev. Tillard completed his prayer an amazing demonstration of the sacred and the social gospels melded into one a little child no more that 10 years old took out his saxophone and began to play the refrain from the hymn the congregation was singing: We fall down but we get up. As I listened to the mellow tone of that childs saxophone, I couldnt think of a single place that young black people could have gone to better renew their spirits and lift them up to higher ground. And when this was followed by a rousing rendition of Amazing Grace by a magnificent tenor who wore a woolen cap and scarf to protect his delicate vocal instrument from the ravages of the cold, the congregation was rejuvenated through song and the joy of the moment, and all rose to their feet in salutation. When Reverend Tillard said let the church say Amen! the praises to Hosanna in the highest resounded through out the sanctuary and rolled out in the streets. In that marvelous display of sacred ritual and business acumen that so distinguishes the best black churches they passed the collection plate to the triumphant sound of the Hymn Glory Hallelujah we are going to see the king, now fortified by Wyntons drummer who joined in with the masterful church pianist, no doubt moved by his own upbringing in the church, and the child to my left began to play the melody on his sax again. And the dollars flowed into the plate; all having been elevated in spirit by virtue of their giving. Sitting directly to my left was the world renowned concert pianist Professor Felipe Hall sang every hymn with the skill and feeling of one who is an authority on black sacred music. The mens choir led the congregation in a rendition of When the Saints Go Marching In it touched Wynton deep in his New Orleans soul and he joined in on trumpet while sitting on the podium waiting to be introduced. My spirit danced as I took it all in. In a marvelous mix of poetry and philosophy the Reverend Tillard showered us with the word. Although many in New York still remember him as the fiery minister of Mosque #7 of the Nation of Islam in Harlem - that hallowed space where Brother Malcolm X once chastised this nation for its sins against black people. But none who saw him in the pulpit at Nazarene, which has a legacy of 132 years of struggle, can any longer doubt that this man was called to this ministry. And we may all be the better for it. His introduction of Wynton was a model of the art of the panegyric, the praise song, and not a word of overstatement. Because Wynton Marsalis is a man of uncommon attributes. A world class artist and man, none among us in America is more worthy of praise. And none has worn his accolades more humbly. It is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the tallest trees in our forest, and there is none that I have seen more worthy of praise. Wynton is the realest cat that I know. Following a rousing gospel performance by the mens choir Wynton took center stage. As eloquent with his voice as with his horn he began to tell the tale of our history through music. As he spoke about our African past his drummer began to play and African inspired rhythm in 6/8 time with the cow bell carrying the beat. It is the same rhythm one hears in the sacred music of black people Christian and Pagan everywhere we are in the world. You can hear it in the Santeria of Cuba, the Haitian voodoo, and the Brazilian Macumba and the Pentecostal church. And it still accompanies the praise songs to the gods of our fathers deep in the rain forests of West Africa as I write. He spoke of the meaning of the spirituals and he sang to us for emphasis. He spoke of ring shouts and pattin Juba, and told us where syncopation came from. I thought of the great composer R. Nathaniel Dett, who wrote his composition Juba Dance as an evocation of the soul of African American culture. And the premiere authority on slave culture in America, Dr. Sterling Stuckey, chose the Ring Shout as the central trope of early neo-African culture created by Afro-Americans. Wynton also spoke of the unspeakable horror of slavery, and the shameless sin of the minstrel show that found in the crimes of the plantation a source of humor. One has only to contrasts this understanding of the origins of the Sambo figure to Whoopi Goldbergs defense of her use of this symbol of Afro-American oppression as a vehicle to entertain her Jewish boy friend and his cronies. And Wynton spoke poignantly of the promise and the pain of Afro-American music that informs the blues the root of all great secular American music. Wynton went on to show how the ebullient rhythms of ragtime represent a song portrait of the triumph of the Afro-American spirit over one of the foulest systems of human oppression ever devised by man. He told us of the glories of improvisation when jazz was born in New Orleans, then he took up his horn and wailed while his drummer, Ollie Jackson, laid down a funky butt New Orleans beat. In spite of a century of misguided church condemnation, none in this church crowd will ever call jazz the devils music again! Wynton preached on, telling us how Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith and Mahalia Jackson were all baptized in the blues. He conjured up old Buddy Bolden who invented Jazz and that piano playing Creole sweet Mack man Jelly Roll Morton, and he sang the praises of that sober genius James P. Johnson. He conjured up Eubie Blake, Pops Armstrong and Professor Thomas Dorsey, who invented the model gospel song and placed it in the mouth of Mahalia Jackson a powerful contribution to western sacred music whose artistic achievement is powerfully elucidated in Ralph Ellisons seminal essay As the Spirit Moves Mahalia. Wynton preached on to a full and responsive house and flat out told us he wasnt gonna stop til he got to Trane: John the Prophet. If Pops and Ellington were the original Jazz incarnation, John Coltrane was the New Testament. Thus it would be a sacrilege to quit before we got to the original Soul Trane! He talked about the healing powers of swing and gave the drummers some. He hipped us to how the drummers swung so hard they set the whole world to dancing. In fact the white folks began to name entire eras of their history by our music: Ragtime, The Jazz Age, The Swing Era. And he made us to know how great artists and lovers of art, the whole world over want to be like us! Although their art was praised around the world, he pointed out, these descendents of African slaves were disrespected, oppressed and sometimes murdered for kicks at home by an insecure white society that wondered if our songs would render their pretensions to cultural superiority obsolete. Finally Wynton told us about the blues and abstract truths of that genius from the American heartland who was nicknamed after a chicken: Charlie Yardbird Parker, an artist who changed the world of music as profoundly as Albert Einstein changed the world of theoretical physics. Like Einstein, Bird changed the way his most gifted colleagues viewed the relationship between time and space forevermore! Then he took up his horn and showed us how Bird did it by performing Cherokee at blinding speed on his trumpet. The spell bound congregation went wild! And thus we came finally to the gospels of John the Prophet, a magic man, a sonic healer, whom Wynton points out brought the love of God through his music. Then he told us that in John Coltranes music we hear the cries of the great black struggle of the Sixties rendered in song. The same thing that Trane once told me himself. It was truly a love supreme, Wynton told us in conclusion. The audience rose as one in salutation. After the applause died down Wynton was honored with a proclamation from the Brooklyn borough President Marty Markowitz, an avid fan of black music, and the congregation of Nazarene presented him with a custom made felt hat that complemented his high style. My lord what a morning! If there is a God somewhere in the great expanse and eternal mystery of the universe, he dwelled in this house on this morning.Playthell Benjamin is a journalist, novelist and former columnist at The New York Daily News.

Richard Attenborough selling family home as he battles health issues
The 89-year-old actor/director is wheelchair-bound after a 2008 fall, and it was revealed earlier this year (12) that his wife Sheila Sim is suffering from senile dementia.
Now the couple has put its sprawling home in the capital's Richmond Green up for sale because both stars require full-time care.
The actor's brother Sir David Attenborough tells the Daily Telegraph, "He and his wife both loved the house, but they now need full-time care. It simply isn't practical to keep the house on any more."

A new standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Twist Me and The Krinar Chronicles
Emily Ross never expected to survive her deadly fall in the Costa Rican jungle, and she certainly never thought she'd wake up in a strangely futuristic dwelling, held captive by the most beautiful man she'd ever seen. A man who seems to be more than human…
Zaron is on Earth to facilitate the Krinar invasion—and to forget the terrible tragedy that ripped apart his life. Yet when he finds the broken body of a human girl, everything changes. For the first time in years, he feels something more than rage and grief, and Emily is the reason for that. Letting her go would compromise his mission, but keeping her could destroy him all over again.
NOTE: This is a full-length, standalone romance that takes place approximately five years before The Krinar Chronicles trilogy (aka Mia & Korum's story). You do not have to have read that trilogy to enjoy this book.

I bought the DP tail-slider towers a few weeks ago, but i hadn't been bothered to put them on, i already had the front bumper and spur gear cover, so i thought now would be that time to add them. The add extra thick alloy adds some stiffness and a bit of weight too, which is always good.
Double up on the front, i actually had the tail-slider upper arms to fit but they were the wrong size ... i bought the 20mm when i need the 15mm ... which were specific to the kazama between the towers.
hidden behind the gyro is more tail-slider engraved goodness.
A finally the rear.

"Wide-Spanning" Hinged Fire Door
On the right hand side can be viewed a video of the factory test prior to installation of this special fire door on site. This was the culmination of a Research and Development project for our contract at the new Aberdeen Sports Facility. The design challenge was to come up with a 1hr fire-rated latchless swing door, that would close automatically when signalled and would provide a maximum clearance in a sports facility corridor of up to a width of 4.2m.
Latchless Floor Spring Door
Minimising the deflection of the panel over such a large width was a major challenge but had to be overcome to successfully seal against the building structure, providing an effective barrier for smoke and fire. Due to site space restrictions the Clark Door engineering team developed an unequal leaf design with floor spring closing, magnetic hold with fire alarm release. You will see in our video on this page one of several doors supplied to this design in a works test to prove the design prior to installation on site. The site video is available to see on the Aberdeen Sports Facility Case Study.

Milwaukee Chimney Rebuilding Services from Chimney Masons
Professional Chimney Repairs Stop Fireplace Leaks and Odors
Chimney rebuilding services should never be performed without expert masons. Why? Chimneys start inside your home and end on the outside. A failed DIY repair can leave the interior of your house exposed to the elements.
If you have a leaky, smelly, or damaged chimney in need of repair it's time to contact the Milwaukee chimney repair experts at Wisconsin Chimney Technicians. With over 30 years of chimney repair experience, our expert chimney masons are the perfect choice for restoring your chimney to better-than-new quality.
Fixing Minor Chimney Cracks & Mortar Damage
Most chimneys are constructed with brick and mortar, both of which are porous materials capable of absorbing moisture. Some chimney flues are made of metal or steel, materials highly susceptible to rust. Simply put, the cold and wet Wisconsin winters can do significant damage to chimneys both inside and out, especially when we experience sudden shifts between warm and cold weather.
If your chimney only has a few small problem areas, cracks or damaged mortar then call the Waukesha chimney repair experts at Wisconsin Chimney Technicians. These minor defects and damaged areas can spread, creating more serious issues over time.
Our repair and rebuilding services include:
- Flue cap replacement
- Joint repair
- Relining
- Flue resurfacing
- Tuckpointing
- And water leak repair
Wisconsin's Chimney Repair Experts
Whether your Milwaukee chimney has a few minor problems or requires total replacement, you can trust the professional Milwaukee chimney repair experts at Wisconsin Chimney Technicians. Chimney rebuilding has never been done anywhere else in Wisconsin with such affordable and high-quality precision.
Schedule all your Milwaukee chimney services online today or call us at (262) 443-5933 to inquire about our Wisconsin chimney repair services offered in Racine, Milwaukee, Walworth, Kenosha, Ozaukee, Washington, Jefferson or Waukesha Counties.

I Live My Life in Widening Circles
by Rainer Maria Rilke
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I will give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?

Amazon Elastic MapReduce
Amazon is introducing a beta of Amazon Elastic MapReduce. What it boils down to is cheap, on-demand Hadoop.
This seems like a great way to experiment with MapReduce and see if you like it. But for serious use, I don't know why you wouldn't prefer MapReduce more closely integrated into a DBMS.

Publications on Reintroduction in Oceania
In this section is listed publications related to reintroduction or other conservation translocations in the Oceania region. It includes general articles discussing Oceania examples, as well as case studies on particular translocations. It includes any research targetted at improving translocation strategies, but not necessarily any research that uses a translocated population. It does not include cases involving rehabilitation or relocation of common species. Publications that report translocations, but not in enough detail to be useful to another practitioner have been excluded, as have ppublications on planned translocations unless they addressed issues of widespread interest. Also excluded are some publications that seemed to be superceded by more recent publications. Unpublished reports or in-house publications and note currently reported here, but these could be included if information is given on how to obtain them. If you know of other publications or reports that should be included on the list, please contact Doug Armstrong.

I just want to let you know that the FX examples won't work when OCX components are not installed on the host computer. (ie: COMDLG32.OCX)
Any chance of tweaking the reverse algorithm so that it can work with bass 1.5 too?PS: How big is your "TO DO" list? Can you fit in a Compressor....?Hope I'm not making too many demands...

Rehearsing a Play
Doug's Story
Mark explained to Lugubria, "It says here that we should throw the rope over something directly overhead and fix to something solid, do you think the chairleg?"
She answered, "I don't care, hurry up, the lecture starts in twenty minutes."
A Little Bar of Soap's Story
Jennifer stood on the chair, waiting for Ms. Meyers to hand her the flyer for posting. "Why does Ms. Meyers have such a mannish haircut?" wondered Jennifer.
Ms. Meyers nearly lost her balance handing the flyer up to Jenn. "Why, Jenn dresses like a little punk boy!" thought Ms. Meyers to herself.
Jennifer and Ms. Meyers were busily preparing the 5-6 year olds Sunday School room for tomorrow's class. They'd been planning this class for months. It's on women in the Bible. They will start with Eve and go all the way through Mary Magdalene. One hour will not be enough time.
Perhaps later they'll pray about it.
Mushroom's Story
Joshua (as George) and Jesamin (as Emily) were rattling through their lines, three days before dress rehearsal of the community theatre's production of Our Town, and Josh tried his best for sincerity as he crooned, "I guess new people aren't any better than old ones" and began the pledge of love to Emily. Jesamin had to break character as though it were a moral imperative, and said over Josh's head to the director, "Ya know, this would be so much more authentic and a little safer if the custodian would let us use the building's ladders! These elementary school chairs are going to give way under our weight and then they'll be sorry!"
Dog Face Girl's Story
Both Jennifer and Ms. Meyers felt a gust of the Holy Wind and the Spirit overtook them, causing them to fall upon each other as they rolled and flailed limbs in gesticulations of praise until they were intertwined and tied together yet they continued to roll and shout the name of God. Then all grew quiet and eerily calm as they stared into one another's eyes and slowly and passionately kissed.And that's why Jenn dressed like a little punk boy!
Monster Spank's Story
As the leader of the free world, she was given the privilege of standing in any chair she wished. today, she chose this particular four-legged implement because it went well with her parliamentary hairstyle. Meanwhile, the one-legged man was explaining why oatmeal should be given higher subsidies even if the French whined.
My Story
"You're still not getting it!" the director hurled at his rehearsing players.
"What did we do wrong this time?" the boy pondered.
"Are we to play it in mime?" the girl wondered.
The director sighed. "I'll repeat it again if you're lost: This is Theater of the Absurd. You must avoid meaning at every cost."
"You gave us Shakespeare to read," said she, "and told us to use the soliloquy."
"We have no budget for modern scripts, and these may be used without royalty. I ask only that you state the reverse of what you read, so that we might add absurdity. Begin again, please, at the scene where Hamlet confronts Juliet."
Hamlet: Anarchy or decadence? Answer thou this question.
Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo, there art thou!
Hamlet: 'Tis better to have pleasure by slings and cuffs, than watch the Wheel of Fortune.
Juliet: Deny thy father came thus to me? Oh what was his name? I dared not refuse him. But it was not love, I swear it.
Hamlet: I'll take his wooden arms and trouble him to spring in the sea to his unopposed end.
Juliet: I have some capsules I long to take. 'Tis said one forgets one's own name.
Hamlet: To sleep, to sleep with thee evermore, by sleep mean I that pleasure of a thousand throbbings of the flesh. Ah, thy natural hair!
Juliet: Take thou thyself, through masturbation. Wilt thou masturbate?
Hamlet: 'Tis a consummation devoutly to avoid.
Juliet: With thy hand afoot, no arm nor face of mine thou need. Or belong to a man, a name of thy choosing.
Hamlet: To sleep with thee, perchance was but a dream: may that thou would rub me.
Juliet: To thee 'tis all the same. Take my friend Rose. She smells as sweet as I.
"No! No! No!" the director lamented loudly, throwing his arms in the air.
"What's wrong now?" the boy and girl asked as one.
"It's good," the director told them, catching his falling arms, "but it's making too much sense. Let's go instead with a new concept. Girl, you be Othello, and boy, you play Little Richard. Stagehand! Bring out the piano and the horse."
"This is absurd!! Of concepts completely unheard!!" the boy and girl responded in verse.
"Act!" barked the director, "Art must not be deterred!"
Tan Lucy Pez's Continuation
But John entered and said, "To teach thee, I am naked first; why then what needst thou have more covering than a man?"
Willian followed him in and said, "Love to faults is always blind...."
The director sighed with joy.

FIFA refused to deny or confirm whether they were investigating Chelsea's transfer of Bertrand Traore.
The Blues could be set to receive a similar ban to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, for breaking rules on signing young players from outside their jurisdiction.
The Catalan club has recently completed their ban, whilst the two from the Spanish capital are about to begin theirs from the end of the month.
Makes you wonder what the club scouts do when a ban is in place, they could visit the Tiki Island slot fansite in their spare time, it is not like their days will be full up scouting players they cannot sign for over a year.
FIFA were asked whether they were looking into the signing of Burkina Faso international Traore, with him having featured in friendly matches for the West-London club before his official signing in January 2014.
The organisation refused to comment on which transfers they were or were not looking into, which leads to the point, can Chelsea really afford to not sign players?
The Blues have been thoroughly disappointing so far this season, although a recent upturn in form has seen them remain unbeaten since Guus Hiddink's return mid-way through December.
The Dutchman is only there on a temporary basis currently, but could be offered the long-term role if he continues to impress this term.
The club are yet to sign any players this window, despite their failings in the past months, but with a potential ban possibly over their heads, maybe they should be more active at the moment.
Alexandre Pato has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, having returned to fitness and form back in Brazil, although Hiddink said there was no truth in the speculation only a couple of weeks ago.
The caretaker boss could be excluded from the negotiations, or simply holding his cards close to his chest as Arsene Wenger does, but they do say there is no smoke without fire.
Another striker linked with a surprise move to Chelsea is Robin Van Persie, who is currently plying his trade in Turkey.
The former Arsenal and Manchester United striker has a huge 145 Premier League goals to his name, but surely at 32, and knowing he will be behind Diego Costa in the pecking order, this report must be false.
Where should Chelsea be strengthening? Can they really afford to go without signings for the next two windows?

What do we want?
We want Pakistan to progress.
Our Vision is to bridge the gender gap within STEM domains in Pakistan.
Women Engineers Pakistan is leading a strict mission to encourage female participation in science, technology, engineering & mathematics (S.T.E.M.) leading to better integration within business and education in Pakistan and beyond.
What is it that we do?
Through our campus ambassador and mentorship programs, we work extremely hard to:
And Why is this important?
Lack of engineering talent is a major concern, not just in Pakistan but around the world. Now, more than ever, it's imperative for the engineering industry to increase its talent pool by attracting more women. In Pakistan, women make up over half of the population. Ideally, this would equate to women representing at least half of the country's engineers, designers, technologists, scientists and inventors.
Unfortunately, women currently make up less than 10% of Pakistan's S.T.E.M. professionals*.
We have made it our mission to increase this percentage, giving women more equal representation in engineering in Pakistan and worldwide.
Join us today. Your voice gives us strength.

On National Coming Out Day, FFL launches Louisiana LGBTQ Fund
Seeded with a $50,000 matching grant from Funders for LGBTQ Issues' Out in the South program, FFL will raise an additional $250,000 for the fund by the end of 2018.
New Orleans, LA – In honor of National Coming Out Day — held annually on October 11 — Foundation for Louisiana (FFL) is excited to officially launch its new Louisiana LGBTQ Fund. These funds will be used to support community organizations across the state to assist lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer residents.
Seeded with a $50,000 matching grant from Funders for LGBTQ Issues' Out in the South program, FFL will raise an additional $250,000 for the fund by the end of 2018.
While this represents the official launch of the fund, FFL began its work in this sphere a few years ago. In October 2016, it held an inaugural LGBTQ Statewide Summit (pictured) to bring together activists, organizers and community organizations across Louisiana to begin to develop a common agenda and to learn what was needed within the state to build a progressive movement to support LGBTQ issues.
Attendees at the summit, which was sponsored by a planning grant from Funders for LGBTQ Issues' Out in The South initiative, identified several key areas of work including:
· Healthcare
· Education
· Criminalization
· Housing/Homelessness
· Community/Coalition Building
· Right-Wing Attacks
· Mental Health
· Violence
· Economic Opportunities
"We have a strong commitment at the foundation to work with all marginalized groups in this state. We know that LGBTQ Louisianans — many of whom are people of color — face compounded discrimination when it comes to accessing housing, healthcare, employment and other basic needs. They are also criminalized at higher rates, and subjected to high rates of violence as evidenced by the deaths of three trans women of color in Louisiana earlier this year. We want to support efforts to shift this," Flozell Daniels Jr., President and CEO of FFL, said. "There are LGBTQ people in all sectors, so in addition to raising money for this fund, I am proud that FFL employs LGBTQ staff across our program areas and that we partner with many amazing groups in this state working to interrupt homophobia and transphobia."
The Louisiana LGBTQ Fund will strengthen the capacity of local community organizations making a positive impact on the lives of LGBTQ Louisianans.
To donate to the fund, please visit the LGBTQ section of our Donate page.
This year marks the 29th anniversary of National Coming Out Day, an initiative of the Human Rights Campaign. It is a day to celebrate coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or as an ally. The Human Rights Campaign says the day is "a reminder that one of our most basic tools is the power of coming out. One out of every two Americans has someone close to them who is gay or lesbian. For transgender people, that number is only one in 10."
Daniels adds, "We want to build this fund across every sector. We're looking for individuals, businesses, corporations and foundations to contribute to it recognizing that we are all connected. It is important, especially in the Deep South, for us to show leadership on this issue and to help change hearts and minds."
About Funders for LGBTQ Issues
Funders for LGBTQ Issues works to increase the scale and impact of philanthropic resources aimed at enhancing the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities, promoting equity, and advancing racial, economic and gender justice.

Many voters will be surprised to learn this, but there is an election campaign going on for one of Maryland's seats in the U.S. Senate.
Faithful TV watchers noticed ads for Sen. Barbara Mikulski popping up recently, but for many of them this was the first clue she was running for re-election in November. Alert newspaper readers saw some articles in the past couple of months about the problems of Alan Keyes, her Republican opponent. But stories or film clips of them campaigning? Not many.
This lack of traditional electioneering is unfortunate for several reasons. Maryland is blessed this year with two unusually articulate advocates from both ends of the domestic political spectrum.

If you're wondering what might have looked like had it been produced by MGM, we submit for your approval Keeper of the Flame. War correspondent Spencer Tracy is assigned to write the life story of a recently deceased super-patriot. One would suppose that the much-beloved decedent's life would be an open book, yet his widow Katharine Hepburn refuses to release any details concerning her late husband. Tracy gains Hepburn's confidence, and she agrees to help him with his article. Several curious incidents lead Tracy to believe that Hepburn was in some way responsible for her husband's death. While this is not entirely the case, Tracy stumbles upon a truth that has been carefully hidden from the public by the dead man's "damage control" people. Adapted by Donald Ogden Stewart from a novel by I. A. R. Wylie, Keeper of the Flame is perhaps the most dour of the Tracy/Hepburn vehicles; those expecting the usual battle-of-the-sexes repartee between the two stars would be better off with Donald Ogden Stewart or Donald Ogden Stewart ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

pubOne.info present you this new edition. It was February off the Banks, and so thick was the weather that, on the upper decks, one could have driven a sleigh. Inside the smoking-room Austin Ford, as securely sheltered from the blizzard as though he had been sitting in front of a wood fire at his club, ordered hot gin for himself and the ship's doctor. The ship's doctor had gone below on another ",hurry call", from the widow. At the first luncheon on board the widow had sat on the right of Doctor Sparrow, with Austin Ford facing her. But since then, except to the doctor, she had been invisible. So, at frequent intervals, the ill health of the widow had deprived Ford of the society of the doctor. That it deprived him, also, of the society of the widow did not concern him. HER life had not been spent upon ocean liners, she could not remember when state-rooms were named after the States of the Union. She could not tell him of shipwrecks and salvage, of smugglers and of the modern pirates who found their victims in the smoking-room.
