Rain Clouds over Wushan (Wushan Yunyu 巫山云雨, also known as In Expectation) was a key film in the Chinese avant-garde movement of the 1990s. This paper contends that the film's use of symbolism, naturalism, and super-realism to indicate the omnipotence of desire in contemporary China, which actually works through the seduction of the logic of commodity exchange at the historical moment of early market economy in post-socialist China. A postmodern film with a modernist and realist facade, Rain Clouds demonstrates that postmodern culture in China is premised upon a post-socialist political-economic regime and its sensory machine.

This weekend my mom used a roll of old wall paper that she bought or a dollar at the thrift store to re-line her pantry shelves.
She did this while her house was full of family and kids and while making dinner and cleaning. We teased her mercilessly about it because that is how my family rolls. 😉
She said something very true: "decorating my house is how I'm creative."
How true! I paint and sew. My mom decorates. My house looks like a tornado hit it with a craft supply store. Hers looks like the pages of a magazine. And both are the signs of us living our creativity.
I didn't do that much creative for years. I was busy getting graduate degrees (and writing papers became my only creative outlet) and working on my career. Once I had kids I suddenly had this URGE to sew and cook. Later this turned into painting and drawing. Now I can't imagine life without creating.
It relieves stress and is like meditation. The popularity of "adult" coloring books testifies to our need for creation.
How do you feed the need to be creative?

Hello everybody! We pray that this Christmas weekend was recharging for everyone; emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As we look forward to the start of the new year we hope that you all continue to battle with us in prayer. This past year brought a lot of disunity and fear into our culture, and we hope that this church and our homes can help bring the peace, hope, and love of Christ within our "greater B-town" area.
Praise God for His Work
- We have officially registered with the IRS and have opened a bank account. We are getting close on having a place to give/tithe online at CrossCurrent.Church.
- This week we are going to look at a couple of school locations. We are also looking into another possible location that would also be a great option.
Prayer Needs
- Pray for our area; "Greater B-town." This encompasses Burlington, the surrounding Alamance County area, and anyone who might find their way into our town via interstate. With the new year comes new struggles and pain and we want to pray that we can serve as a beacon in the darkness.
- Continue to pray for Harvest Baptist Church. We want to show our love for them through our prayers.
- Ed Moschler has been making great progress with his eye. Continue to pray that he make a speedy recovery.
- Support prayers for our missionaries: Cassidy Hursey (NY), David & Kristi Mize (MI), Jesse Hursey (NC), and Lance Brown (National).
CC.C Pillar: (Romans 5:12-21) At CC.C we believe through Adam all have been doomed to sin. Through our humanity we have what we refer to as a "sin-nature." Because of this, we are all destined for physical and spiritual death. However, being "born again" allows us to have a new nature in Christ, one that brings salvation.
- Give us a praise from this past Christmas holiday! Let us know of anythings special that happened.
- Continue to inform us of any locations you might find or already know of (lobby, auditorium, space for children care, easy access/parking, cheap, etc.). Though we are progressing towards a school option, we want to continue exploring any options we might have.
- Continue to email us with your prayer requests, both private (only seen by leadership) and public (which can be included in future newsletters).
- Contact us with any people you think would want to join this church, even if they are just interested in getting our newsletter. ALSO, there is now a way to sign up for the newsletter directly from our website www.CrossCurrent.Church. The website is still under construction but there should be a box to sign up to the newsletter. If there is any difficulty you can contact us through email at email@example.com.
Contact Info
For any feedback and prayer requests, please respond to firstname.lastname@example.com
When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
As usual, we have included a devotional in the original email. These serve to further strengthen the body in their knowledge of God, His Word, and His church. We ask that you take the time to prayerfully read and meditate on this short message as we continue to walk together in unity of Spirit.
If you missed a devotional, you can access recent devotionals at the links below.

H ello food lovers, I hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend, and what a scorcher it was.
I finally got to top up my tan, which actually doesn't need much topping up as I was born with a God-given tan! Lucky me! The smell of barbecue food was in the air once more. It was good to have a few days off and relax, but when I say relax, I mean it in the loosest possible terms. I ended up helping my friend Jon with his last minute barbecue for 30 people - and that was after spending three days, prepping, cooking, styling my food for a photo shoot, ready for my new spice range. So, I only had one day to come up with recipe ideas, shop and make all the salads, all before I could doll myself up, throw on some lippy and enjoy myself. Which I really did, once the food was served, I ended up taking over the karaoke machine and belting out I'm Every Woman by Whitney Houston. Sorry, I am digressing, let's get back to the food.
I know barbecues are usually all about the meat but I think having a good salad completes the meal. I wanted to make a selection of salads to complement the meats, but I didn't want to make a bog standard green salad with a bit of limp lettuce...oh no! I wanted to make some salads with personality and something that would tantalise people's taste buds. Yes, naturally, I made my spicy chick pea chaat, well I am Parveen The Spice Queen, but I also made a potato salad with chives and my deliciously light crunchy coleslaw. Many of the guests at the barbecue know that I cook for a living, so the pressure was on. I decided to make a platter of pasta salad with fresh basil and cherry tomatoes. The unique thing about this salad is that you have to cook the dressing for a few minutes but it really adds to the flavour. Trust me! Give it a go.
300g Fussili Pasta
15 cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
1/4 red pepper (diced into 1cm cubes)
3 cloves of sliced garlic
2 tbsp of olive oil
Handful of fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper
1. Boil the pasta in salted water for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked.
2. While the pasta is boiling, in a large pan, heat up the oil and add the sliced garlic, tomatoes and red pepper. Cook for 2 mins on a low heat.
3. Drain the pasta and add into the dressing.
4. Turn the heat off, add salt and pepper and basil leaves.
5. Mix together and enjoy warm, sprinkled with cheese, or at room temperature as it is.
If you have a any question, email me via on firstname.lastname@example.com
For a little extra flavour sprinkle with a few chilli flakes, looks pretty too! If you are like me and like a curry, try it topped in Daal or Chicken Jalfrezi

translate, we were able to exchange our information.
This is what I received from Pepi.
It looks like just a plain envelope, but, look at the cute little box inside.
What is inside the box, you ask?
A ton of Christmas goodies!
A sweet little box, a wall hanging, a counted cross stitch pillow, and a tiny little card from Pepi. :)
But, what is in the little box?
A tiny perfume bottle and a single long stemmed red rose.
Thank you so much, Pepi! I love all of my swap items, it was a pleasure to have you as a partner! :)

- All three expansions in Exodus 20 (Samaritan Pentateuch) are complex and not all elements are specifically Samaritan.
- The Gerizim verses of Deuteronomy 27 (the elements of the above mentioned expansions) are to be found in each of three fragments (4Q158.6; 4Q175 and 4QExa col. 29) from Qumran as well. The first textual expansion of the Samaritan Pentateuch in Exodus 20:17 (MT) consists of the following verses: Exodus 13-11a; Deuteronomy 27:2b—3a; Deuteronomy 27:4—7; and Deuteronomy 11:30.52 The second one in Exodus 20:19 (MT) comprises the verses Deuteronomy 5:24—27. The third expansion in Exodus 20-22a (MT) is made of Deuteronomy 5:28b—29; Deuteronomy 18:18—22 and Deuteronomy 5:30—31. This last one with the same order of verses can be found in three different fragments from Qumran too ... The two fragments of the non biblical scrolls 4Q158.6 and 4Q175 do contain it as well as the fragment of the biblical scroll 4QExa (= 4Qpaleoexm) col 29.

The Variant Samaritan Exodus 20 Used by the Two Powers Heretics is Also Reflected in the Jewish Community at Qumran
It is of great importance therefore that in Exodus 20 (Samaritan Pentateuch) we find three textual expansions ...

I have not been on here a lot lately, i.e. in the last 2 weeks. I have been working my butt off with my new business. The fact of the matter is that spending doing philosophy is a leisure activity. It IS the MOST integral leisure activity for the well being of our existence; however, it is still leisure, a luxury. The ancient Greeks birthed philosophy out of slavery of course. The first philosophers were rich men who could afford to not work in the fields while their slaves did all the work. Not all of them I suppose, although I must admit I do not know a great deal about the life of Heraclitus, Pythagorus, or Anaximander. Does anyone though?
Anyway, the point is that there is somewhat of a dichotomy between work (and ultimately pursuit of survival) and philosophy. If one is busy in the fields all day (lol I know no one really does that these days ...) then he or she has little time and likely energy to contemplate the deep questions of life. Yes that is a generalization, and philosophy does not even have question in a prescribed way. Philosophy is the love/pursuit/friendship of wisdom afterall.
Anyway, I plan to post here with somewhat more diligence over the next few weeks (at least)! LOL.
We'll see how it goes.

Burton Dance & Social Club...
Spotlight on
For almost 50 years Fife Electronic Organ Society has been holding organ and keyboard concerts in Fife. For more than 20 years these have been held in Glenwood High School. So when a change in venue was decided it was a very important step for the Society.
Their new season of concerts will be held in St. Columbas Church, Glenrothes KY6 1BN. This new location is looked upon as an exciting opportunity for the Society to move forward and to improve and increase it's abilities to provide organ and keyboard music to the people of Fife and visitors to the region.
St. Columbas is situated in the town centre, is well represented by local and out of town buses and has excellent parking facilities for members and visitors attending the concerts. The acoustics of the church have proven to be of a high quality for the holding of a musical event.
To promote the introduction of St Columbas as their new "home", a special opening concert was held two days ago (August 7th). International player and Yamaha demonstrator, Richard Bower, performed this concert on his Yamaha Tyros 4 organ setup. All proceeds from the concert, a stunning £831, went go to St Columbas Church funds.
The clubs next concert is on Wednesday 18th September, with guest artiste Pete Shaw at the keyboards.
Annual Membership is £10. - Concert Admissions – Members £4, Visitors £6 and Juniors free.
All concerts start at 7.00 pm. Doors open 6.35 pm.

Here are some competions entries.The first one was to design the cover for the new Good Shoes album.
The only criteria was that the Good Shoes logo had to be used somewhere on the cover. My entry was
one of the four chosen and was made into the cover.
The image of the D&AD pencil was a different competion for the student annual.
The brief was to pick a
word that represents me and then interpret that word photographically. I chose the word crafty and made

Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced the selection of 275 educators to join the New York State Master Teacher program. Wayne Central School District is home to three of them: Melissa Edwards, high school math; Daniel Liseno, middle school science; and Jeffrey Ugine, high school science.
These educators will join the network of Master Teachers created in 2013, bringing the total number to 980.
"Education is the cornerstone to success, and it is the brilliant, dedicated teachers in New York who make a difference in countless lives and inspire the leaders of tomorrow," Cuomo said. "Congratulations to the 275 newest members of the Master Teacher program, who will join the ranks of the top educators in the state as they work to further their skills and their impact on students in every corner of this great state."
"Teachers dedicate their lives to educating our youth, and inspiring them to succeed inside and outside the classroom," Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul said. "I congratulate the 275 teachers who will join the New York State Master Teacher program for their invaluable leadership and skills in STEM education. The Master Teacher program continues to expand, recognizing their growth and commitment to educating students in the STEM fields of the future."
The 275 Master Teachers are dedicated professionals who teach science, technology, computer science, robotics, coding, engineering and math courses across grades K-12, including Advanced Placement, honors, Regents and International Baccalaureate levels.
The selected Master Teachers have taught an average of 15 years. Over 76 percent have been in the classroom for 10 or more years, and 22 percent have taught for more than 20 years. The 275 Master Teachers represent 160 school districts.
All Master Teachers are active beyond their classrooms, serving as curriculum department leaders or on district- and state-level committees. They are sponsors of Science Olympiad competitions, school gardens, Robotics teams, coding clubs and community service organizations, as well as coaches and PTA members. The Master Teachers hold leadership roles in state STEM professional associations, and many received awards and public recognition for their teaching from their peers and communities.
Throughout their four-year participation in the program, Master Teachers receive a $15,000 annual stipend, engage in peer mentoring and intensive content-oriented professional development opportunities throughout the academic year, work with pre-service and early career teachers to foster a supportive environment for the next generation of STEM teachers, attend required regional cohort meetings, and participate in and lead several professional development sessions each year.

Sara's designs are amazing. Sara did a variety of wedding related designs for us including invitations, programs, and seating display. We could not be happier with the results. We got many compliments on each item. It was tempting to go with the less expensive, more generic options like Minted, but we are glad we went with Sara. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and her work was top notch!

We had a very complex invite with a lot of information for two events since we had a destination wedding and home reception. So that was twice the logistical data . Sara made our invites beautiful and easy to read . We had several compliments on how beautifully done they were !
Mary Ellen · Married on 05/31/2014
Sara Theisen was able to customize my wedding invitations, save the dates, thank you notes and programs in a very special way. I had a vision for everything to reflect the beautifully unique features of my wedding dress and she made that vision come to life. Many of my family members and guests commented that they were the most beautiful wedding invitations they'd ever seen.
Chris · Married on 05/24/2014
Sara provided Save-The-Dates and invitations for our wedding Memorial Day weekend of 2014. She was incredibly helpful and very professional in everything she did. With neither of us being much the creative type, we pretty much just gave her a general idea of what we liked/wanted and she pretty much built everything for us around that. She was always very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, and spent a lot of time talking with us and helping to draw out more ideas for the invitations that we might not have thought to reveal on our own. And lastly, my wife and I are both procrastinators, and while we weren't always quick to get back to her or do the things she asked us to do, Sara never got angry or frustrated with us and was professional all the way through.
I would recommend Sara to ANYONE needing invites, announcements, save-the-dates, etc.
Emily · Married on 09/07/2013
Sara Theisen Design was an amazing vendor that I would recommend to anyone. Sara creatively took my ideas and turned them into beautiful pieces that I couldn't wait to share with my family and friends. She was great to work with, had excellent turn around time and made the invitation production process seamless for my wedding planning.
Adam and Allison · Married on 06/15/2013
Sara designed our programs, menus, place cards, and welcome bag cards. We found the quality to be excellent and she worked very hard to get everything prepared in time. She was very helpful and knowledgable as well as adaptive during the designing process. Overall a great experience! Would highly recommend Sara Theisen Design.
Terri · Married on 04/13/2013
Sara was absolutely awesome! She worked with me from start to finish on our wedding invitations and programs. We were able to come up with the perfect color scheme and style to fit our personalities. She made great suggestions and tweaked things to make them perfect. She was also always available by email and we even met in person to work on the final design. I gave her a challenge with our programs and even on a very short deadline she was able to complete them exactly how we wanted. I would have Sara create and design any invitations I needed to do in the future. Highly highly recommend her!!!
Angela · Married on 01/28/2012

Sara was flexible and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She let me know what was happening at every step, which was nice. I was very pleased with the end results! Plus, it was very nice to get to know her!
User3572215 · 2+ years ago
I like Sara's responsiveness and willingness to work on tight deadlines. I only wish I had insisted on seeing what kinds of paper were available before the invitations went to print... We did not like the paper that was chosen - it was too thin and hence did not feel classy enough for a wedding invitation. Still, I would recommend Sara if you are very clear about what you want - she is a very pleasant person to work with.

WASHINGTON — Advances in technology have never made finding deals this holiday season so easy — or so creepy.
WASHINGTON — Advances in technology have never made finding deals this holiday season so easy — or so creepy.
Marketers and mobile app developers have developed creative new ways to help shoppers find what they want for less. But these inventive techniques also allow for more aggressive tracking of consumer behavior, whether buyers are on their work computer, a mobile device or standing in the grocery aisle. It also now includes the ability to connect that data together with other personal information like income, ZIP code and when a person's car insurance expires.
The goal is to monitor consumers online and off to determine exactly what kind of buyer they might be and how much they're willing to pay. Retailers say these techniques help customize shopping experiences and can lead to good deals for shoppers.
Consumer advocates say aggressive tracking and profiling also opens the door to price discrimination, where companies might charge someone more online or deny them entirely based on their home price or how often they visit a site.
"You can't have Christmas any more without big data and marketers," said Jeff Chester, executive director at the Center for Digital Democracy. "You know that song where Santa knows when you've been sleeping? He knows when you're awake? Believe me, that's where he's getting his information from."
Retailers push shoppers to sign up for loyalty cards, register purchased items for warranty programs and note ZIP codes to feed their mailing lists.
Online stores and advertising services employ browser "cookies," the tiny bits of software code that can track a person's movements across the Internet, to analyze shoppers and present them with relevant pop-up ads.
Marketers also are perfecting location-tracking technology.
A major push encourages shoppers to agree to be tracked in exchange for deals. Retailers like Target now push their own mobile apps, which entice shoppers with coupons or ads as they move throughout a store, and offer in-store Wi-Fi, which is another way to track a consumer's online movements.
Major holiday retailers including Macy's, Best Buy and JCPenney, have partnered with the Shopkick mobile app. If shoppers turn on the app while in their store, they can be rewarded with discounts or song downloads for trying on clothes or scanning barcodes.
Another app, Snapette, lets women keen on fashion see what accessories or shoes are creating a buzz in their particular neighborhood, while stores get a chance to entice nearby shoppers with ads or coupons.
Not all technology tracking is voluntary.
Stores have been experimenting with heat sensors and monitoring cellphone signals. One product called "Shopperception" uses motion-detection technology to pick up a customer's movement, including whether they picked up a product only to return it to the shelf.
But how that information is used is unclear. The Federal Trade Commission has been investigating the "data broker" industry, which sells information on individuals by pooling online habits with other information like court records, property taxes, even income.
The Government Accountability Office concluded in November that existing laws have fallen behind the pace of technological advancements, which enables companies to aggregate large amounts of data without a person's knowledge or ability to correct errors.

Fostering and adoption services praised
Fostering and adoption services in Orkney have been praised for the support they give to foster and adoptive families and children in the county.
The services, both run by Orkney Health and Care's children and families service, were graded 'Very Good' by the Care Inspectorate, across all areas inspected.
The two short-notice announced inspections took place in October last year.
Inspectors spoke with foster and adoptive families and looked after children, and attended meetings and training.
They were told across both services that families feel well supported by the staff and management.
Inspectors looking at the fostering service found: "It was evident that good outcomes we identified for children and young people were linked to the high level of support provided to foster carers."
They also found the aspirations of children to maintain and build positive relationships with their family and friends were well supported by their foster families.
Suggestions for improvement included ensuring annual reviews are chaired by someone independent.
Inspectors looking at the adoption service observed very good attachments between adoptive parents and their children, and found evidence of very good collaborative working between staff, foster carers and adoptive families which in one case resulted in siblings being successfully re-united during the adoption process.
Areas for improvement identified in the report include a support forum to make best possible use of the professional expertise of staff and experiences adoptive families. This has now been implemented by the service.
Chairwoman of Orkney Health and Care, Councillor Rachael King, said: "Orkney's fostering and adoption service provides a safety net for our young people in crisis. These reports reflect the dedication of the existing foster and adoption families in our community, and the professionalism of our staff supporting them — but most importantly, the effective ongoing collaboration of everyone involved to ensure that the evolving needs of those young people remain supported throughout their journey into adult life.
"I would urge anyone who has thought about adoption and fostering in particular to read these reports and see for themselves the support and help available to Orkney families who make space in their lives to help care for a young person in need."
The full reports are available at www.careinspectorate.com.

A Muslim Terrorist - Thriller Story
The sun was about to set, and the western sky had turned blood red. Sirens, shrieks, and suspense clouded the atmosphere. Even with my eyes closed, as I was being held in the stretcher to put in the ambulance, I knew all the faces were set upon me; I could feel the greatness of veneration with which the media persons and other policemen were looking at me.
The rumbling of the van was nothing as compared to the pandemonium going in my head.
"Patil! Take a jeep too and escort him safely to the hospital!" I heard my superior's commanding voice.
"That won't be needed," I tried to object, but my meek protest went unheard in the chaos of the situation.
The ambulance doors closed shut and began to move, as few doctors inside started to fumble with my upper left arm that had been shot.
I knew that in no time, more and more media people will start pouring in. Some were already trying to flash their cameras incessantly on the van, in which I laid, while others were broadcasting live feed as newer facts were coming into light.
But, despite the fact that in a couple of hours I was going to be the star of the nation, the only fact that mattered to me was that I had killed a man. I had become a murderer and a sinner.
An hour ago - Dharavi slums
"Stop!" I yelled for the tenth time, but as expected it was of no use and I continued chasing the man.
I realized for the first time how intricate the slums of Dharavi were. But, it was not the time to marvel at the labyrinth. I had been running since 20 minutes. My legs were tiring.
Half an hour ago, thanks to the relentless efforts of my trusted men, I had got a tip about the whereabouts of this man, who had been eluding Mumbai Crime Branch since a year. Immediately with a team of seven, I had rushed to the spot.
But, the sinuous lanes of the slums had proved treacherous to us, and the man had had a head-start in running away. Only I could keep up with the ensuing chase, owing to my IPS training.
But, the maze was getting excruciatingly puzzling. Left, right, right, left, right, left, we kept on moving and in no time, I lost the track of where we were going. My only focus was on apprehending that man, who kept on jumping, turning, and pushing anyone and anything out of the way.
Ah, there he was! Dead end, at last! I rushed forward with a spurge and he started to violently throw whatever things he could get hold of, as he saw me approaching with a gun in my hand.
"Finally, a cornered cat!" I smirked with triumph.
"You have no idea whom you're dealing with!" He grunted, panting heavily.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you Aslam Sheikh, a filthy fugitive who killed hundreds of people last year?" I regarded him unsympathetically.
"Oh! And you are some bold cop with a pretty loud tongue, aren't you?"
I kept my unflinching stare fixed upon him.
"What are you looking at, huh?"
"A son of a bitch, who's going to spend rest of his life in jail!"
"Look, officer, can't we sort things ourselves, huh?"
"I don't deal with spineless creatures, who kill for no reason!"
"No reason? We only kill sinners and those sinners died because they didn't surrender their will to Him."
"You are the one who kill, yet the ones who die are sinners?"
"Anyone who refuses to believe us or Him is a sinner, because we are doing God's work!"
"And for that, you terrorize people?"
"No stimulant is as good as fear. One day, the world will kneel before Him and we will make sure of it!
"Hmm... but, who are you to make sure of it? Which God gave you the right to kill?"
"It's ordained, you foolish person! What will a foul-mouthed and blasphemous person like you understand about God and the religion based upon His will?
"I do understand that the only essence of any religion, if any, is to have compassion for all and have a non-violent attitude. And anyone who kills is a sinner. So, now, I'm going to call for back up and turn you in!"
As I dialed for more forces to nab him up, everything happened in a jiffy: he took out a gun from in back pocket and pointed it at me.
"If you had been a Muslim, you would have understood!" He hissed.
I believe ignorant atheism is better than misguided theism
. Now, keep that gun on the ground, and place your hands above your head, or else - NOOOOO!"
Two gunshots reverberated at the same time in that narrow lane. I screamed in agony. A bullet had soared past just above my heart and blood had started oozing out. But, my aim had been more unfortunate; Aslam lay on the ground. Unlike his bullet, mine had gone for a head shot. I had killed. I had become a sinner.
An Hour Later - Minister's office
"Sir ji, did you see the news?" my secretary asked, as he stepped into my ministerial office.
"If I have to watch the news by myself, why have I kept you, Shinde?" I replied, with my head immersed in writing the reply to a show-cause notice I had received last week from the party's high command.
I still couldn't figure out why was there any need for such notice! A week ago, during the Hindu Mahasabha rally, I had said something very obvious.
"Muslims are terrorists!"
"Listen, the party can't afford to fall into any controversy at this point!" The high command had retorted back on the phone.
"But, even the public was cheering at the rally, sir!" I tried to explain.
"Look, the media has made an issue of it, and this is a very crucial juncture for the party, with elections coming next month."
"But, sir..."
"You better give a decent reason why the party mustn't take any action against you. Also, if you want a ticket this time, then better apologize publicly!" Yelling so, he had hung the phone down.
It was not that I hated Muslims; I just found them to be odious. A Muslim will always patronize with his fellow Muslims, even if they kill. A Muslim can never love this country or do any good for it.
"Oh sir ji! But, you can't miss this! Let me turn on the TV," my secretary urged eagerly.
"This better be good, Shinde!"
I always thought that all the news reporters are nincompoop, because for them every other petty things was a breaking news.
A lady was blabbering, "In an eventful evening today, the highly notorious criminal Aslam Sheikh, most wanted terrorist for the Mumbai bomb blasts last year, was allegedly encountered on the outskirts of the Dharavi slums. The police investigation is currently going on and..."
The world had gone silent for me.
Aslam Sheikh encountered? God! That's so amazing! A terrorist dead. Another Muslim dead. My statement had just been substantiated. Party high command will now understand. No need for apologies. This event will definitely be polarizing. My reelection is sorted. Hahaha.
The news continued, "... our sources have reported the officer who chased the terrorist is allegedly shot, and on way to the hospital..."
Brave person, I remarked. Mumbai police have always been brave. This man should definitely be rewarded. Let me recommend this officer's name for the Presidential felicitation. Oh wait, what's his name again?
I gulped. Guilt overwhelmed my aversion. Maybe to deliberately break my prejudice, the breaking news had flashed his name: Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sarfaraaz

Los Angeles
Los Angeles is on fire again. Through my thin apartment walls, I heard my neighbors scream and swear at each other. A dear friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with MS. Another had surgery this week and still another had surgery last week. I'm working more than I want to be, making half the pay that I should be making. I don't feel that my work is appreciated, let alone understood. I've argued with friends over whether marriage is an oppressive institution, whether the health care debate is largely about white American racism. I've argued with my students. I've argued with my mother.
I'm frustrated by my writing, by poetry's never ending subjective state. I'm frustrated by my hair. I miss my father, my childhood dog. I miss the weeping willow tree outside our home in Michigan, and the way lake water lapped at its roots. I'm tired of bad poetry readings and this country's bizarre fear of socialism. I'm tired of people who don't believe in our impending environmental catastrophe. I'm angry that every year, gun-toting Americans buy 30 bullets for every person (even children) who lives here. I guess so they can kill each one of us 30 times.
There are always good things, of course. Yesterday, I ate eggplant caviar and carrot cake. I ran nine miles, the longest I've run since I changed my stride to forefoot striking. I bought 12 glow sticks at Target for one dollar and turned off all the lights in my apartment to watch them glow. Today, I may read Proust. I may eat seaweed salad. I may sit quietly and breathe. There are always good things, of course. But right now, I'm tired of the fight.
At the end of "Song of Myself," Walt Whitman writes, "I stop some where waiting for you." On days like this when the blues creep into everything I do, I remember that line and it makes me believe everything will be fine after all. Even if the state burns to the ground, even if we never change our health care system, even if I never again get another poetry journal acceptance, even if. . . . There is Old Walt Whitman with his bushy white beard, maybe sitting under a tree, maybe with some apples in his hands to share.

What We Think: Bravo to graduates
*Bravo to Dina Laskowski of Jamestown, who received the North Dakota State Literacy Award at the North Dakota Reading Association Spring Conference last month in Bismarck. Laskowski retired recently from the University of Jamestown, where she was associate professor of teacher education.
*Bravo that SkyWest Airlines was again awarded the Essential Air Service contract to serve Jamestown Regional Airport. The airport has had record boardings consistently in the last year, and that's good for Jamestown.
*Bravo to the University of Jamestown baseball team, which set a new NAIA single-season record in fielding percentage this season at .980. It tops the previous best mark of .976 set by Bellevue University (Neb.) in 2016. And bravo that the team also made it to the championship game of the NAIA opening round Oklahoma City Bracket, where it fell to Oklahoma City University 4-0 to finish the season at 45-11.
*Buffalo chip that winterkills at 13 North Dakota lakes were severe enough to affect the quality of fishing at them. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department said it investigated the winterkills and will restock where needed. Severe winterkills in this area occurred in Logan and Kidder counties.
*Bravo to students who are graduating from high schools and institutions of higher learning. Congratulations on your achievements and best wishes on your next endeavor.

Obama calls Republican plan to sue him "political stunt"
President Obama calls Republican plans to bring a lawsuit against him over his signature health care law a ''political stunt.'' Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: President Barack Obama used his weekly address on Saturday (July 12) to urge Congress to join him in helping working and middle class Americans. He spoke about a college junior named Elizabeth Cooper whom he met on his trips to Colorado and Texas last week. "She said she feels not significant enough to be addressed, not poor enough for people to be worried about and not rich enough to be cared about," Obama said. "I ran for President to fight for Americans just like Elizabeth," said Obama. Obama went on to blame Republicans in Congress for blocking his ideas to strengthen the middle class, such as lifting the minimum wage and student loan reform. "The Republican plan right now is not to do some of this work with me, instead, it's to sue me," Obama said. "It's a political stunt that's going to waste months of America's time. And by the way, they're going to pay for it using your hard-earned tax dollars," he said. House Republicans said on Thursday (July 10) they intend to make President Obama's changes to his signature health insurance law the focus of a forthcoming lawsuit, accusing him of overstepping his legal authorities. Republican lawmakers, who have been trying unsuccessfully to repeal the 2010 law for years, regularly decry the Obama administration's decision to delay Obamacare coverage mandates and grant various waivers as illegal without congressional approval. The moves comes less than four months before congressional elections in which Republicans are trying to expand their House majority and wrest control of the Senate from Obama's fellow Democrats. "I have a better idea," Obama said in his address. "Do something, Congress, do anything to help working Americans."

Will you need planning permission ? Generally no, as the building is classed as a 'Portable Building', however it is your responsibility to check with your local planning office. Notable exceptions to the above are listed buildings and conservation areas. It may be that you need to position the building a certain distance from the house, or boundaries, but each area is different, so we're afraid we cannot offer accurate information. Other general guidelines are that it must not take up more than ½ your garden, it must be behind the building line, it should be 1 metre away from the boundary (although most buildings tend to be nearer than this), it should be less than 4 metres high (if it is an apex building) and should be 50 ft away from the nearest road. Check your phone book for your local council and ask to speak to a 'planning officer' to get the exact advice.
Guidelines from 1st Octber 2008 - Under the regulations from 1st October 2008, the following are considered to be permitted development, and don't require planning permission, provided they adhere to the following:-
Another thing to keep in mind, is your neighbours reaction - always keep them informed of what's happening, and be prepared to alter the plans you had for locating the building if they object - it's better in the long run, believe me!
If you are in any doubt, you can get guidance on the government planning web site you best contact would be your local planning officer, or visit our other help pages for further assistance.
Your Responsibilities
With all building work, the owner of the property (or land) in question is ultimately responsible for complying with the relevant planning rules and building regulations (regardless of the need to apply for planning permission and/or building regulations approval or not).
This is a commonly asked question and you will find that most garden sheds, workshops, summerhouses and log cabins are exempt from most planning limits provided the building is more than 2m away from the boundary or less than 2.5m overall height. You will find this will cover most situations but it's YOUR responsiblity to check for your own location. You can do by calling your local council and asking to speak to the planning officer. This will ensure you won't have any issues afterward. For more detailed advice about the question - Do I Need Planning Permission For A Garden Shed - Garden Workshop ? - please visit the government web site about planning permission here.

Joe O'Loughlin's children have known loss, most recently that of their mother Julianne. Living with this legacy of grief, Joe and his daughters are taking each day as it comes which also involves facing the harsh reality of Joe's advancing Parkinsons Disease. Joe's work as a clinical psychologist has exposed him to all the horrors and trickery of man (this is novel #9 in the series) and the knowledge that he won't be around for his two girls forever is never far from his mind.
There has always been the comfort of extended family; Joe's sisters are loving aunts for the girls plus Joe's mother is a proud grandmother. Joe however has never been certain where it is that he lays in his father's affections. A brilliant but remote academic, William has always maintained rigid barriers between family and professional demands. Joe's mother remains the staunch defendant of family values, demanding respect for her husband even when his harsh personality inevitably alienates everyone from family to colleagues. It is perhaps more for his mother than for William himself that Joe races to the hospital when news reaches him that his father has been attacked. The woman sitting by William's bedside is not known to Joe however, and she has quite the tale to tell.
THE OTHER WIFE is the latest bittersweet entry in an excellent series that progressively takes a little bit more of your heart with each encounter. And these are crime novels, so that is truly a testament to the author's mastery of characterization. Creating characters that we are fully invested in will always trump the impact of a complex and clever plot. THE OTHER WIFE is a shining example of both achievements.
THE OTHER WIFE serves well as a standalone but if you've been on the bandwagon with the rest of us crime readers, you have likely read at least one of the priors in the Joe O'Loughlin series. Oh yes, reading this series is totally a personal concern now – we have a genuine need to see how Joe is faring with each series entry. This latest work does not have the frenetic pace of some of the others but your heart will still pound in concern for Joe, and you will definitely want to cheer him on as Joe battles to keep it all together in such difficult circumstances. Joe is a little edgier in this outing, and you do get a sense of that ticking time clock with his health.
In a time where novelists from all genres seem to be turning inwards and examining the complex nature of family relationships (as opposed to globally looking outwards, with that not being the most positive thing perhaps to be doing with your time right now), THE OTHER WIFE reinforces that the biggest mysteries are always present, whether ignored or simply as yet undiscovered, in every family.
