QPR look at trialists in U23 game

QPR are giving a trial to Liverpool youngster Kris Owens and continue to look at Tottenham’s Charlie Owens.

West London Sport report that left-back Owens, 18, has linked up with Rangers and played for their development side against Watford on Friday.

So too did MK Dons youngster Peter Kioso – another full-back on trial with the R’s – and Spurs midfielder Owens, who has been training with the west London club for several weeks.

QPR won 3-0 at Vicarage Road, where Aramide Oteh, Josh Bowler and Ebere Eze scored for the visitors.

Rangers have looked at young players from a number of Premier League clubs this year with a view to possibly signing them in the summer.

In the short term, they face a derby at Brentford today knowing that they are still not mathematically safe from relegation following five consecutive defeats.

“I want to get back to winning ways because this is a horrible feeling,” manager Ian Holloway told the club’s website.

“It’s been a very frustrating period. When we went into the international break after beating Rotherham I felt we were in a very good place.

“But have I seen the same people do the same things they were doing before that break? I expected those people to maintain that level of performance. That hasn’t happened.”

Millwall duo help England Veterans win fifth World Seniors title

Former Millwall players Barry Hayles and Wesley Reid helped England Veterans pick up their fifth World Seniors title, beating Scotland 4-0 in the final at Hua Hin Stadium, Thailand, on Saturday.

The win marks the side’s third consecutive victory in the Thai-based tournament.

England and Scotland had already met in the opening game of the tournament, with the former running out 2-1 winners.

England took the lead on 27 minutes when central defender Mark Saunders, headed home from a corner.

Saunders finished the game as captain after Peter Beagrie pulled up midway through the first half with a suspected knee injury.

England were not able to add to their lead until the second half, when Jason Price scored after 12 minutes, following good work down the right by Steve Jones and Lee Elam.

The game was wrapped up in a two-minute spell midway through the second half, when England scored a quick-fire double to take the game away from the Scots.

Lee Elam netted England’s third, in a move he started with Nicky Southall, finishing after a deft flick by Steve Jones had split the Scottish defence. Within seconds of the restart Jones had a goal for himself, picking up on a high ball over the Scottish defence and converting the one-on-one against Derek Barnes in the Scottish goal.

Former Millwall midfielder Reid started for England in the final, where he would have been joined by former Millwall striker Hayles – England’s joint top-scorer with three in the competition – if he had not picked up an injury in the semi-final against Iran.

Initially conceived by the Senior Football Association of Thailand to promote the country and its tourism in the wake of the tsunami, the competition has become an annual event, held in a different province of Thailand each year.

What If You Don’t Know What You Really Want?

Darkness shades the sky

Steps in quiet solitude

She views the Kingdom

How terrible it is to finally feel the true strength of your personal power, and have absolutely no idea what you want to do with it!

It is not a new feeling for me to not really know what I want to do. I always had a nagging feeling that there was something I am “supposed” to do, but I just never knew what it was. I never feared that I couldn’t learn something, in fact, if I feared anything it was that I would STOP learning.

I went to college as an older adult and earned a master’s degree and my Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech Language Pathology. Not many thought I could do it. My ex-husband told me I was crazy to put all my eggs in one basket (I applied to only one school.)

I was accepted, graduated summa cum laude, and divorced that man. 🙂

I didn’t work in the field long, before I was struck with acute symptoms of Lyme Disease and Babesiosis (a malaria-type tick born disease) and had to retire. I just recently let my certification be retired also, as I have no plans to go back in the field.

Many people think I was crazy to spend all that time and money on that degree…and then not use it. In the beginning I couldn’t use it, but now, I choose not to. The way I see it the defining point is not whether I used it, but that I earned it in the first place.

And that brings me to my current dilemma; I feel a yearning to become involved in something, and I don’t know what it is.

I thought that I wanted to write books. But being that I have about 7 books in various stages of completion (and ideas for 20 or so more) and I can’t quite finish even one of them, I am left to wonder if I REALLY want to write books.

I look back on my life and realize that some of my choices are questionable to others who sit in judgment. But the bottom line is THIS IS MY LIFE and I have lived it to the best of my ability at every stage, during every challenge, and I don’t really care if other people don’t agree with my choices. What may not make sense to others, makes perfect sense to me and I OWN MY CHOICES!

At a time when I feel so powerful; where I truly feel like I can do anything I want to do, I sit here and wonder: What do I really want to do?

And then a feeling of peace washes over me because I know whatever it is that I decide, I will make choices that are best for me…even if others do not understand them. And who knows…I just may finish one of those books!

Lorrie ❤

    1. Day to day living is great!! I, too, am immersed in it, Brad! 🙂 And sometimes it helps to forget the big picture and be in each moment. I just have this nagging feeling that I am missing something important that I should do.
      Who knows…maybe I will finish writing my books and other artistic projects. I just don’t feel like I want to be that involved with marketing and promoting. What good are books that no one reads? Maybe I will feel differently…
      Hope that on a day to day basis you are living in a really good space! ❤

  1. I’m with you, Lorrie. We always get tripped up in that marketing stuff. I don’t have a solution, but I have a coach I am working with for all the things. I’ll be graduating this year (by the end of it, but walking sooner—hopefully), and I’m proud of myself that I chose something this time (unlike my undergraduate degree in Anthropology) that can be useful all the time, no matter what, for friends and family (and I will get paid). I also love that it’s just the beginning, and I have so many irons in the fire, I’ll get there. I just have to breathe. Lorrie- I spent a lot of money on my first book – maybe a couple hundred dollars. I got a check for $47 this past year. 2019. Sure I spend far more than I received, but it was the book I needed to write that brought my daughter into my life. Also, I could finally “realize” my role as an author who published in 2017. I definitely want to put out another poetry book. At the time, I thought I’d just only publish that one book, ever. Now I am promoting my brother-and-law’s book. He’s already got an article in Forbes. Who knows what you will do with all your power: the power of the sun, and the power of the lion. Taking any ONE ☝ step is of utmost importance. Love you, Ka

      Thanks for sharing your journey. I don’t know why I won’t finish my books. But I get what you said…and I’m pretty sure I will finish at least one this year…not with the hopes that it become a bestseller…but with the faith that it is a book that needed to be born of me.
      You know I started blogging because I went to a writer’s conference and the only real thing I learned was that you had to have a PLATFORM!! I started the blog and various other social media because of it…kicking and screaming! And I was so pleasantly surprised that I found a virtual home that is full of wonderful like- minded people who are loving and supportive.
      I started a new treatment and so far I FEEL SO GOOD!! I feel strong and capable. And I feel that silent voice that there is something on the horizon for me!
      I am so happy to share this journey with you…and I am proud of you!! All my best to you and yours…always!!

      1. I love you, Lorrie! It delights me to know you feel this way. That, in itself, is enough, to be your inspiration to share that new found “FEEL GOOD” maybe even a new book 📖 could be written… just pick one step and see where you are guided🙌🏻! Curious about your language and speech pathology degree and where you might still be of service there… you are a beautiful heart and I know you have made many, many contributions to others so far. 🤲

        I am a Leo ♌ too! So…. let’s roar together! We got this 💪

        1. I love you, too, Ka! I think I’ve known for a while that it is just something I have to do. But verbalizing it here and really thinking about it, I just need to finish one…and I bet the rest will come easy 😉 I think my thoughts confuse the Universe…I worry about what I should probably do to try to sell books…which keeps me from actually finishing them! So if I change my thinking to I just need to finish my books and not worry about what comes after…I will finish my books😉
          Thanks for thinking good thoughts about my degree…in my short time practicing I learned so much…and yes…I hope…helped many. The time I’ve been out has seen many changes and I am just not passionate about re-entering the field. I don’t regret one thing about it. I did well in a venture that was hard…it just wasn’t my life’s work.
          Of course you are a Leo 😁😁😁♌💜💜💜

  2. Whenever I feel this way Lorrie. I practice more stillness in nature and I always am led to the next step. It takes loads of focus and discipline to complete a book and so find the book you feel passionate about and want to share with the world! Anything is possible when we decide its possible ha!

  3. It’s challenging when you have so many interests and ideas, but something will rise to the surface. Like Ka, I put a lot of money into my book (more than a few hundred) and did the marketing in the beginning, but selling does not come naturally. Still, that book needed to be written. I’m still working on other books, but I’m not going to invest as much money into them, just time and love. Maybe you will choose one of the books you’ve started that is dear to your heart and move forward with it. But even if you choose not to, your “platform” shines light and love into the Universe. Nothing is wasted. Everything has meaning. Peace and love to you, Lorrie.

    1. “So many interests and ideas”…yes, JoAnna, that is certainly a part of the problem (maybe problem is not the correct word…your word “challenge” is better 😉)
      Thank you for helping me switch the focus to MY reason for wanting to write the books in the first place! Of course we would all love for our books to be read and to make a bit of a living off them wouldn’t be bad. I just wonder if the fact that we don’t treat it like a business, leaves them destined to be “projects” that are necessary for us to express but that never become a vessel that many others can ‘drink’ from. Through the years I have watched people like you and Ka put your heart and soul (and money…let’s face it…it is not cheap) into your work. And even though we all have a wonderfully supportive “tribe” here and on various social media, it doesn’t translate into sales. It is a lot of work for one person to be the creative…the business person…the sales and marketing…the accountant…and so on and so on.
      Obviously, there is a lot of conflict here for me, and I know that where there is conflict there is not clear focus and manifesting is hard under those circumstances. Whenever I get like this I usually go back to the reason I need to do this in the first place which is I need to do this 😉
      Much live and many sweet blessings to you, my friend. And yes…everything matters 💜

      1. I think one reason I don’t treat my writing and art as a full time business is that I worked very hard in my career for many years. I’m still writing and doing art, but there are other things to enjoy, too. I’m very thankful to have options. Thankful for you, too, Lorrie. ❤

        1. And I take the lesson there in your words. I also worked hard from a young age…I think it becomes a habit! I am working on finding the balance…in all things really. I love Val’s “Middle Ground”…and as I spent many years with that pendulum swinging full force, I am learning to slow it down and dawdle in that nice space of slow movement.
          Go find miracles today!!

  4. I sit here stunned, Lorrie, because your life MIRRORS mine almost exactly. I too have a license that I worked very hard for but I no longer work nor will I in the field I went to college for. I have yet to let mine go however. I too graduated with honors. I too struggle with health problems. I too have a “feeling” there is more to my life then what I presently have. But what? That I don’t know. All I do know how important my camera is to me and thus I walk in FAITH that someday all the confusion will lift. I honestly cannot believe how your life has been so like mine. Wow!!

    1. We must be twins separated at conception…hehe. I know, Amy! There have been so many times that we do this with each other it is almost uncanny! It is like we live almost the same life in different areas of the country…I wonder how many others of us there are???? It is mind boggling the similarities.
      Ok…so here is what I do know…and know for certain… We both have a message to tell. And I know you believe like I do that this message is from Divine Source. So we need to keep our hearts open and really listen. As for the day to day I think we both keep doing the things we love to do the things we are passionate about…and we continue to share love and light. And if the “big” thing enters our consciousness we will be READY!!!!
      Thank you dear friend. I love so much when we connect…but we are always connected! ❤ ❤

      1. As you say, dear friend, I love when we do connect like this. I forgot to add …. I too am divorced presently on husband 2.
        At a place in my life that I’m no longer getting frazzled about “Well, what about the MORE?” It goes like this. WHEN it happens it happens. Meanwhile, I chop wood and carry water and do all that matters to me as much as I can.
        My “dreams” involve travel. But what with the violence and the Super Bugs and the fact I have so many allergies I cannot eat anything other then the diet I brilliantly created …. just with that, how do I eat when traveling? Yeah, little things like that. (smile) And yes NOW we both have a message to deliver which we do. I just follow my heart as I know you do as well.
        I could go on all night long. LOL Just know you do know someone whose life is so much like yours and both of us, YES, are ready for when the BIG arrives. I’ll leave you with a thought. Perhaps this BIG is actually manifesting now, only in small doses at a time and we don’t even realize it? I’ve often thought about that one. I don’t know about you, but sometimes things happen straight out of the blue that leave me saying oh WOW and just knowing that I just was given another step towards the BIG. (smile)
        Sending you BIG HUGS and so so much LOVE, Lorrie. (((HUGS))) xo

        1. Of course there are more similarities 😊😊 I understand your travel restrictions. I used to want to travel the world…on a small level I still do. But we have such a beautiful country, I am content to keep the travels here. Your food requirements absolutely make it a challenge. One time I drove cross country and you wouldn’t believe what I was able to cook in a hotel room! A couple of hot plates added to the hotel microwave and voila!
          I am moving into my contentment about BEING and DOING what I am, and knowing that everything is unfolding exactly as it is supposed to. I agree, the BIG is occurring…we just have to watch…and listen with our soul.
          So much love to you soul sister. 💜💜

            I took another step today in walking to my dreams. I am going to be writing about it soon. I was given a bread crumb last week and I picked it up and followed the other bread crumbs to what happened today. Exciting stuff!!! Much LOVE to you, Soul Sister!! xoxoxo

  5. Great post! Quiet the mind and stay focused on the here and now. Listen to that little voice in your head and follow the “lead”. Just reading your post I gathered you have a penchant for writing. Follow that road and see where it leads…..as always one step at a time (I’m always trying to 2nd guess where that will take me, but I mess up the journey and true purpose of the journey tying to control and figure everything out).Just some thoughts! My best to you…have a great week!

    1. Ah! Thanks, Kirt! Seems we both like to try to get involved…be in control! Ha! When I can be quiet I hear so much and those are the times that are so satisfying. I know…and have the strongest faith that I am where I am meant to be…and that I am led…always…by the voice of my soul which is connected to God. And maybe…when I have those feelings it just means that I need to connect more 😉 Thanks, Kirt. I hope you have a great week!

  6. I could have written this post myself and signed my name to it and it would have been 100% accurate in every word, perception, feeling and more. You/this mirrored me my sweet Lorrie. Countless books started that I can’t sink my teeth into, a powerful knowing that there’s something I should be, need to be, am supposed to be doing, yet no idea what it is. I have a few visions and innate feelings of what I believe one of them are, but in the current moment and the few before those it’s not possible. A move is in order, of that I’m deeply certain and have been for quite a long while and the pull of it gets stronger each day. But as with the “what am I supposed to do,” the same questions arises, where am I supposed to move. Of course remaining in FL is at the top of my list, though I do so miss mountains and change of seasons, which we do actually have here in Central FL (change of seasons), but not mountains. I’ve considered heading back toward the Palm Beach County area, Delray area, further North from me – it still hasn’t come to me. It would be lovely if this mystery ended in me finding out that you’re my neighbor! Oh the fun, adventures, growing and energy we’d share and embrace onto others. In the moment we’re in, so much uncertainty – though imagination, dreams, desires and knowings never cease. Still, I read this with my mouth open all the way through thinking OMG she’s me. Connection from the start – connection for eternity. Abundant blessings Lorrie.

    1. That feeling still haunts me, though I have been so busy doing what I need to do I have not thought much about what I want to do…or what I am supposed to do. Things sit in the periphery of my mind and surround my heart and I can almost touch it…and then it dissipates into the ether and I am left with the feeling that I MUST REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS!!! It is the same with dreams that have plagued me at times…it is urgent that I must do something…sometimes it is a drug that I forgot to take…a drug that would heal me completely and I wake and it is right there where I can reach out my hand to touch it…and it dissolves…and I am left knowing that my salvation is once again just beyond my reach.
      I am sorry…and happy that you feel this way too…because I believe that we will both one day be aligned with the energy and all will be revealed.
      As for now, you just have to go with it!
      And as far as moving…I just moved. And let me tell you that it is a stressful thing even if it is a wonderful move (which mine is.) The one thing I realized is HOW MUCH STUFF I HAVE!!!! It truly felt like it was never going to end.
      I hope you will find the answers in your heart and that you will know exactly what it is you want to do. Just know that we are neighbors…no matter how far apart we may reside we are always in each other’s heart! ❤

Professor Christopher Dick is the new associate chair for museum collections, responsible for managing all aspects of the University of Michigan Herbarium. He steps in for Professor Paul Berry, who served as director/associate chair for museum collections from 2006 – 2015. Dick is associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, associate curator, U-M Herbarium, and director of the E.S. George Reserve.

The following is Dick’s director’s update as posted on the Herbarium website:

It is an honor to accept my new role as director of the UM Herbarium. With its 150-year history and over 1.7 million specimens of plants and fungi, UMH is a research jewel. I take the reins from the capable hands of Paul Berry, who, as director from 2006-2015, forged a smoothly running operation.

Visitors will be impressed by the changes to the UMH facility on Varsity Drive. Over the past few years, the college has spent about $50 million to transform the building from warehouse into a modern research facility. We will soon be joined at Varsity Drive by our sister museums of Anthropological Archeology, Paleontology and Zoology. These units last shared a roof over 70 years ago, when the Herbarium was located in the Ruthven building.

The unification of these biodiversity and cultural museums will facilitate cross-disciplinary interactions, with the potential for new academic directions and improved stewardship of our invaluable collections. The enlarged facilities will also provide new spaces for specimen-based classroom activities.

Our scientific staff continues to grow the collection in the service of biodiversity discovery.  Paul Berry has recently returned from Madagascar where he collected new tree species in the genus Croton. Mike Wynne continues his systematic work on algae, as does Chris Anderson on the tropical tree and liana family Malpighiaceae, and Rich Rabeler on the Caryophyllaceae.  Tim James’ research on amphibian-killing chytrid fungi took him to Brazil, and I recently traveled to Amazon forests in Peru for biogeographic research. Despite these global efforts, there remains much to be learned in Michigan. In fact, Tony Reznicek, who works on sedges worldwide, recently described a new species from our backyard, in Washtenaw County.

The Herbarium remains committed to public education about Michigan botany. Our Michigan Flora website, with authoritative information on the taxonomy, range and habitat occurrence of nearly 3,000 Michigan plant species, was accessed over 700,000 times during the month of August 2015. Amateur botanists have contributed 11,000 of the photographs on the website, and since 2011 they have added more than 11,000 specimens to our collection, mainly documenting range expansions and rare species.

The Herbarium has made leaps and bounds in the area of specimen digitization (i.e.,  publishing images and specimen data online). Our first digitization efforts, funded by the Mellon Foundation in 2011, focused on our 23,000 type specimens (“types” are the specimens designated to represent species when they are first described). The National Science Foundation supports our digitization efforts with seven current awards (see list below), and we have thus far digitized ca. 475,000 specimens. These specimen data contribute to the “ecosystem” of biodiversity knowledge that feeds into systematics and macroecology as well as conservation, education and public outreach.

As we look ahead to a new year, we hope that you will learn from and support the work of the University of Michigan Herbarium.

Quick Update on Noble Intentions Season Three

I missed what would have been the deadline for Episode 11. There’s a reason for that, though. I decided to break format and release this Season Compilation as a single book only. I polled some readers and the overwhelming response was that they preferred this format.

It worked better for me, as well. From a management standpoint, I’d have to do six times the amount of work with formatting, covers, and so forth to release the five individual episodes plus the season compilation.

The other deciding factor was that the point I wanted to end Episode 11 at came after nearly 150 pages. That would have been a tough precedent to set for a thriller in this day and age. In addition to that, this one flows much more like a traditional novel than the episodic formula of the previous editions of Noble Intentions. So, while the book will still be broken up into five equal episodic parts, you’ll get it all at once.

The first three drafts of Season Three are complete and the manuscript is with my editor. She’s fairly quick and already has 75% of it back to me. I’ll should be working on edits this coming week and maybe the following depending on how well I did my job. After that I have a review process I follow using a tablet with a digitizer screen and a digital pen.  A few more changes will be made at that point, then it’s off for proofreading.

My goal is May 23rd. Lots to do and little time to do it in!

It’s Finally Happened

I’m approximately two-thirds through Noble Intentions Season Three. Most of what is written has already been revised and sent off to editing. So all in all, things have been moving along well and my pace is picking up. It usually happens that way. As I near the end, my fingers have trouble keeping up with the story taking place in my brain.

I finished up the outline a few days ago and felt good knowing that I had the story locked up, for the most part. I’ve known all along the general direction it was heading, but some of the “guts” of the story have been missing. So visualizing those remaining pieces is a big help to my typing speed. There usually end up being a few changes… a scene doesn’t go the way you expect it to, a character does something a bit different than planned. Those are easy to account for.

So two days ago I was feeling good.

Then two things happened.

First, I reviewed my outline and realized that there was something pretty major to the story missing. Now, I know that occasionally I spin up a thread and leave it hanging. In some cases, this is intentional and I have plans to get to it in a later release. Occasionally it is accidental and someone in passing catches more interest than I expected.

But this, well, you would have been upset if I left this one. This character needs resolution.

So I go back to the outline and end up with another seven or eight scenes. Not bad. A could days of writing for me. A little extra reading for you.

The second thing….

She appeared.

She took me by surprise at first. I never expected to see her. She had yet to show up and I figured that maybe my books weren’t good enough for her to take part in.

You see, there is a woman that appears in several of the books I’ve read. She’s never the same character, and she acts her roles according to the wishes of the author and reader, not her own demands. Most notably, she’s appeared as Rachel Walling, the FBI special agent in several of Michael Connolly’s novels. I’ve seen her elsewhere, too.

Never in one of my books, though.

Until yesterday.

She came out of nowhere. There wasn’t a note for this character to appear. When I first visualized this part of the scene, it was going to be a male agent who was to harass Jack for being at a crime scene. But the voice that called out for Jack turned out to be female. And when Jack turned around, it was her.

The hair, the eyes, the smile… all her.

I found myself faced with a dilemma. At first, I decided to ignore the sighting and continue with the scene as planned. But dammit, she started to charm me with her witty responses and that smile she flashed. And I swear she blocked my pinky finger from reaching for the delete key.

So this mystery woman who has appeared to me in several books I’ve read has finally managed to seduce her way into Noble Intentions Season Three. I mean, I couldn’t possibly have turned her away. But I’m not quite sure what she’s doing here.

Isn’t Jack’s life complicated enough?

Noble Update September 20th Plus a Special Preview of Noble Beginnings

I haven’t published a Noble Intentions Episode in almost 4 weeks. It’s making me antsy!

The good news is that I’ve completed the manuscript for Noble Beginnings: A Jack Noble Novel. This is a stand alone novel that takes place in March of 2002.

I start work on Noble Intentions: Episode 6 this coming Monday and expect to have it published well before November 1st. Episode 6 kicks off Season Two. 5 episodes are planned and you can expect them to be published every two weeks. I’m very excited about Season Two and have plenty of twists and turns planned for the characters.

After Season Two is complete I’ll write the second stand alone Jack Noble novel. More details to come on that too.

Now for the part you most likely came to this page for. Chapter 1 of Noble Beginnings. Enjoy!

** NOTE that I may have to take this excerpt down once the novel is published on Amazon **

Chapter 1

I leaned back against the sandstone front wall of a house on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq. Muffled voices slipped through the cracked door. The night air felt cool against my sweat covered forehead. The air smelled like raw sewage. Orange tinted smoke from a distant fire rose high into the sky. Wisps of smoke streaked across the full moon ahead of the mass of artificial cloud cover. The thick smoke threatened to block the moonlight I used to keep watch over the sleepy street while the CIA special operations team did their job inside the house. The smart team leaders kept me involved. The dumb ones left me outside to guard the entrance.

I’d had this gig for the past eight years. For most of that time, the only thing that changed were the names and faces. The job stayed the same. Then the attacks happened. Within forty-eight hours everything changed. Most teams were deployed to Afghanistan. Bear and I were sent to Iraq. We spent the last six months raiding houses like this one inside and on the outskirts of Baghdad. For the most part, we were kept outside the house.

The only connection we had with the Marine Corps were the other ten Marines over here with us. And we only saw them a couple times a week. I had no idea where our the rest of our Marine brethren were. Didn’t care. They didn’t consider us Marines any more than we considered them brethren.

“Jack?” Bear said.

Riley “Bear” Logan had been my partner and best friend since our last day of recruit training. A recruit training experience cut four weeks short.

“Yeah,” I said.

“I’m tired of this.”

I turned my head. Kept my M16 pointing forward. Bear stared out into the distance. The faint orange glow of the fire cloud reflected off his sweat covered brow.

“They just keep us posted outside,” he said. “They ain’t never treated us like this.”

I shrugged. He was right. But there was nothing we could do about it. Bear and I were on loan to the CIA and had to do whatever we were told. Before the attacks we were part of the team. But the guys we normally worked with stayed behind in the U.S. and Europe. The teams over here weren’t used to having two Marines with them and they weren’t very receptive to the idea.

“What do you suggest we do?” I said. “Quit?”

Bear shook his head and straightened his six foot six body. He shifted his M16 in his hands and walked toward the end of the house. Beyond his large frame I spotted a group of men. Figured that was why Bear went on high alert.

There were six of them huddled together. They spoke in whispers and appeared to look in our direction. Another three men walked toward the group. From this distance they didn’t appear to be armed, but they had the cover of night on their side. Best to assume they were prepared to wreck havoc on our position.

“What do you make of that?” I asked.

Bear looked back at me with narrowed eyes and a clenched jaw.

Trouble indeed. Trouble lingered everywhere in this damn city. No one trusted us. Every time I turned a corner I worried someone would be standing there waiting to take me out. The only person I could trust in Iraq was Bear. The CIA spec ops teams we’d been attached to looked down on us. They all seemed to be waiting for the right moment to drop us. Hell, for all I knew, they were inside that house negotiating our arrest.

Bear cleared his throat. Pointed toward the group. The nine men fanned out and approached our position. The sound of their voices rose from a murmur to light chatter. I made out distinct sounds. Despite being in Iraq for the past six months, I had a weak grasp on the language, so none of what they said made any sense to me.

“What are they saying?” I asked.

Bear held up his hand, fingers outstretched. He cocked his head like he was looking up at the moon. His body crouched into a defensive position. The barrel of the M16 rose to waist level. He reached out with his left hand to support the heavy barrel. I did the same. We both preferred the M16A3 because of its fully automatic firing capabilities in addition to single shot and semi-automatic options. The A3 was a much better option for security teams than the Marine standard issue A4. We could drop the entire group of men in under five seconds if we chose to do so.

“Talk to me, Bear,” I said.

He took three slow steps back, blocking my view of part of the street. He yelled something in Arabic.

The group stopped their advance. One man stepped forward. His tall, gangly body stood out from the short stocky men in the group. He lifted his arms, a handgun clutched in his right hand. I tensed and tapped my finger against the M16’s trigger. The harsh sounds of words spoken in Arabic filled the air. They echoed through the street. Then silence penetrated.

Bear turned to look at me. Smiled. Looked back at the men. He shouted in Arabic again and lifted his M16 to his shoulder.

The tall Iraqi raised his arms once again. He had put his gun away. He turned his back to us, said something to the group of men and started walking away. The mob held their positions for a moment. The tall man pushed through the men. He spoke to them in an authoritative tone, his voice rising to a yell. They turned and followed him. A few looked back at us over their shoulders.

I exhaled loudly. Cool, calm and collected when others would panic. Now, I felt my hands trembling slightly. A deep breath reset me to normal. Typical reaction.

“Christ, Bear. What the hell was that about?”

He chuckled. “I think they’re on our side, Jack.”

“What makes you think that?” I used my sleeve to wipe a layer of cold sweat from my brow.

His smile widened.

“They didn’t shoot.”

“What did you say to them… ah, forget it. You’re a crazy SOB. You know that, right?”

He shrugged. Pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Lit two. Handed me one.

I leaned back against the cold concrete wall again. Took a deep drag.

“You think this is what Keller had in mind when he shipped us off to the CIA?”

I had kept in touch with General Keller since he took us out of recruit training and placed us into the CIA sponsored program. This was not what he had in mind.

“Beats what we’d be doing otherwise.”

I threw my head back and nodded over my shoulder toward the door. “You sure about that?”

Bear shrugged. His big head shook slightly. He wiped his face, then looked at me.

“I’m not sure of much anymore, Jack. This is what I know. They ship us somewhere. We do our job. Pretty simple.”

I nodded. It was pretty simple. Eight years now and we knew the routine. We do our job. Only here, our job had been castrated down to nothing but a security detail while they did the work that would get the glory. Hopefully they’d get it soon and ship us back to the U.S.

I said nothing. We stood in silence, smoking our cigarettes. I stared at the orange glow of the smoke cloud that covered half the sky.

“Noble. Logan.”

The voice ripped through the air like a mortar arcing over our heads. The door whipped open. Bealle stood in the doorway.

“We need you two inside.”

I turned to face Eddie Bealle, fourth man on the totem pole of the four man CIA spec ops team. I took a deep drag on my cigarette. Exhaled. Dropped the smoke on the ground and stubbed it out with the heel of my boot.

“We’re ready to go, Bealle.”

* * *

We followed Bealle through the narrow doorway and down an even narrower hallway. The smell of burned bread filled the house. I looked over my shoulder and saw Bear shuffling sideways behind me. His broad shoulders too wide to fit square between the thin plaster walls. We turned a corner to another stretch of hall that opened up to a dimly lit room.

“What’s the deal here, Bealle?” I asked.

Bealle said nothing. Kept walking. His rank on the team was too low to justify acting like a prick. I had wanted the opportunity to beat it out of him for weeks now. He stepped through the opening, walked across the room and rejoined his team.

I followed, stopped and stepped to the right. Bear stepped to the left.

Scott Martinez looked over and nodded. He said something in Arabic to the Iraqi man sitting on the floor. The man’s arms and legs were bound with the thick plastic ties we carried. Martinez rose from his crouching position and walked toward me. He ran a hand through his sweat soaked short brown hair and wiped blood spatter off his cheek. He stopped a few feet in front of me. Like most spec op guys he was a good four inches shorter than me and a head shorter than Bear. There were exceptions. My eyes drifted across the room and locked on Aaron Kiser. He stood six foot two and could look me directly in the eye.

I scanned the room. My eyes inched along the yellow stained walls and ceiling. Paintings and family photos hung crooked in obvious spots. The furniture had been pushed to the far end of the room. The captive family huddled together at the other end. The man stared blankly at the floor between his bound feet. His wife sat behind him. Her black hair frizzed and disheveled. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Her hands rested in her lap, bound at the wrists. Two small children, one boy and one girl, hid behind her. They scared faces peeked over her shoulder. Their eyes were dark with fear and darted between the men holding their family captive.

I hated this part of the job. If we had something on the man, fine. He likely did something to bring us here. But why keep the family held up like this? Seemed to be the MO over here. And I had no choice but to go with it.

“Your job here,” Martinez said, as if he had read my mind, “is to provide support. No different than any other day. I give an order, you follow. Understand?”

I shifted my eyes to his and said nothing.

Bear coughed and crossed his arms across his chest.

Martinez dropped his head and shook it. A grin formed on his lips, but his eyes narrowed. We’d butted heads more than once and I figured he had become as sick of me as I was of him.

“I’m so tired of you two Jarheads.”

I looked over at Bear and mouthed the phrase “Jarheads” at him. He laughed.

The bound man on the floor looked up. His glassed over eyes made contact with mine. I felt my smile fade and my lips thinned. The man’s eyes burned with hatred and desperation. He took a deep breath, looked back down at the floor.

“Follow, Noble,” Martinez said. He turned and held up his hand while gesturing for me to follow him. He walked across the room and stopped in front of the Iraqi man. Kicked him in the stomach.

The man fell forward into Martinez’s legs. His face contorted into a pained expression while he struggled to fill his lungs with air.

“Get this sonovabitch off of me,” Martinez said.

Kiser stepped forward, grabbed the Iraqi by the back of his head and dragged him to the middle of the room.

Martinez moved to the middle and crouched down. He looked the Iraqi man in the eyes.

“I want you to see this. See what your failure to give us any information has led to.”

Martinez stood and walked over to the man’s wife. He reached under her arm and yanked her to her feet. She gasped and her children cried out as their tiny hands slipped off her sweat covered body. Bealle and Richard Gallo led the woman by her elbows to the wall across from me. Martinez followed. He stood in front of the woman, leaned in and whispered in her ear.

Her eyes scanned the room and met mine. A tear rolled down her thin face. Her mouth opened slightly. Her lips quivered. She bit her bottom lip and then mouthed the word “please” to me. Martinez brought a hand to her cheek and she started crying.

Martinez moved to his right and looked over his shoulder at the man on the floor.

“Isn’t your wife worth it?” His face lit up as he said it. Eyes wide. The corners of his mouth turned upwards. His breathing picked up. The spec ops leader appeared to find the exchange exhilarating.

The Iraqi man said nothing. He held his head high and his shoulders back. He stood defiant on his knees.

Martinez brushed the woman’s hair back behind her ears. Leaned again. Whispered. She let out a loud sob and then took a deep breath to compose herself. She looked toward her children and said something in Arabic. Then she turned to Martinez and spit in his face.

He stepped back. Wiped his face. Struck her with the back of his hand. Her head jerked back and hit the wall with a thud. Her body slumped against the wall. He reached out with one hand and grabbed her by the neck. With his other hand he pulled his pistol from its holster. He pressed the black gun barrel against the side of her head. His hand slid up from her neck and squeezed her cheeks in. The pressure of his hands against the sides of her face jarred her mouth open. He jammed the barrel of the gun in her mouth.

“Is this what you want, bitch?” He paused a moment. “Huh? Want your kids to see your brains blown all over this wall?”

I felt rage build. This was wrong in every sense of the word. I took a step forward. Bear’s large hand came down on my shoulder and held me back.

“Get the kids out of the room, Martinez,” I said.

Martinez straightened up and cocked his head. His arms dropped to his side and he turned to face me. He stared at me for a few seconds and lifted a finger in my direction. The woman slid down the wall and crawled on the floor to her kids.

“Noble,” he said. “I told you that you follow my orders. Not the other way around. You got it?”

“Let,” I took a step forward, “the kids,” another step, “leave the room.” I kept moving forward until we met. Chest to chest. Eyes to chin.

I heard weapons drawn around the room. The floor creaked behind me, a sign that Bear was moving into position.

“Gallo,” Martinez said.

“Yeah?” Gallo said, stepping out of the shadowy corner he had occupied.

“Move the man to the corner then the woman,” Martinez said.

Gallo did as instructed. The family huddled together in the far corner of the room.

“Now stay here, Gallo” Martinez said. “Rest of you, outside. Now.”

I felt the barrel of a gun in my back. Didn’t turn to see who it was.

“You two leave your weapons behind,” Martinez said.

We moved back through the narrow hall to the slightly wider doorway. Bear stepped outside first. Me second. Kiser came out behind me with Bealle and finally Martinez in tow.

The moon now hovered directly above the street, beyond the cover of the orange smoke. I scanned the street and spotted a group of men hanging out a few blocks away. Were they the same men from earlier? Perhaps a new group of men not as friendly as the last. Their chatter stopped and they turned to face us. A few stepped forward. Were they planning to attack? That wouldn’t be a bad thing. Might give us and the CIA spec ops something in common to fight instead of each other.

“You guys keep an eye on him,” Martinez said.

I swung my head around and saw Kiser and Bealle aim their guns on Bear. Like us, they carried Beretta M9 9mm pistols. Weapon of choice, it seemed. I followed Martinez’s movements as he paced a five foot area in the middle of the street.

“Noble,” Martinez said. “Step on out here.”

I looked at Bear. He nodded, winked. I crossed the packed dirt yard and stepped into the street.

Martinez lunged at me the moment my foot hit the pavement.

I ducked his blow and followed up by pushing his back. His momentum sent him into the side of the house. He reached out with his arms and came to a grinding halt. He turned, rolled his head. His neck and shoulders cracked and popped.

Kiser and Bealle kept their weapons pointed at Bear, but their eyes were fixed on Martinez.

I made the next move and engaged Martinez. We danced in a tight spiral, trading blows of fist and foot. Every connection sent a cloudburst of sweat and blood into the air. The two of us struck and countered with the precision of two highly trained prize fighters. We were equals now.

Martinez threw a flurry of punches. One landed on the side of my head. The blow knocked me to the ground. I knew his next move would be to kick me in the midsection. I quickly rolled and got to my hands and feet.

Martinez backed up.

I looked to the side. Saw black combat boots less than four feet away. I didn’t have to look up to know the boots didn’t belong to Bear. He wore brown boots.

Martinez started toward me. I had to time my attack just right. If I struck too soon Martinez would be out of my reach. Too late and he’d be upon me before I would have a chance to react.

I took a deep breath. Time slowed down. Martinez’s boots hit the packed dirt. Heel then toe. Left then right. Ten feet way. Eight feet away. Six feet away.

I launched into the air to the right and twisted my body. Kiser didn’t have time to react other than to turn slightly toward me. His outstretched right arm moved too slow. My body continued to twist to the right and I whipped my left arm around. My hand wrapped into a fist and struck Kiser’s windpipe hard and fast. He let out a loud gasp. Dropped his gun. His hands went to his neck as he stumbled backward and fell to the ground. He tried to suck air into his lungs, but his crushed throat wouldn’t allow it. His lungs shriveled. His face turned red then blue and scrunched up into a contorted look of agony.

Martinez closed the gap between the two of us. Dumb bastard. He should have pulled his weapon. Again I ducked and slipped to the side, letting his momentum carry him a good ten feet away.

I cast a quick glance toward Bear who held Bealle’s limp body against the building with his left hand while his right delivered punch after furious punch.

With Bealle and Kiser out of commission, I turned to deal with Martinez, who had just scraped himself off the ground and was approaching. I still couldn’t figure out why he didn’t pull his gun on me. End it quickly. He stepped over Kiser’s limp body.  Stopped a few feet away from me.

I heard a body hit the ground behind me. Bear stood next to me.

Martinez lunged toward me. I moved to the side and brought a fist down across the bridge of his nose. He went to the ground. Bear picked him up, drove two hard blows to Martinez’s face and tossed him next to Bealle.

We reentered the house, guns drawn. Confronted Gallo. He gave up without a fight.

“You people should leave,” I said to the family. “Tonight. Now.”

Bear removed the thick plastic ties that bound their arms together.

The family huddled together. Each parent scooped up a kid.

“Follow us out and then go.” I grabbed my M16 from its resting spot on the wall. Led the family down the narrow hall. Stuck my head outside. Deserted. Even the group of men down the street had bailed. Flashing lights reflected off surrounding buildings and colored the sky. Sirens filled the air.

“Bear,” I called down the hall. “We need to get out of here.”

European Award
National Awards

Why apply?

“We participated in this Industrial Excellence Award to benchmark us with other industries with a frame of professional best practices.

The IEA competition offers an international recognized and standardized reference with worldwide top Business School professors in the jury and professional media support. It gives us valuable feedback on our strengths and weaknesses.

Excellence in management is our mindset and contributes to generate high customer satisfaction by improving our processes and developing our people. Along this competition through questionnaires, visits and conferences you identify new ideas for improvements and challenges without spending too much time and money. There are quick benefits creating stimulation for our team. On top of that, winning the award you generate new motivation and pride for your people and value add to your company. Then challenges are never ending.”

 Jean Cazaubieilh, Continental, Foix, France
(IEA Champion 2012)

“We have an excellent relationship with IESE, one of the business schools that organize the event, and we were invited to participate through one of our managers who was attending a management development program. We filled out the questionnaire and then we were selected as a finalist, but the visit to the factory was crucial to show the shop floor and our business model.

It really helped us to reflect on the main aspects of the business, our background and what has made our factory and our business unique. Winning the award of the best factory in Europe has been a great achievement that has brought a lot of attention to our factory from our company and also from the industry in Europe. More important, it has brought a lot of positive energy and great recognition to the people that work in the factory.

Manufacturing is becoming a tough business in Europe, many experts continue talking about manufacturing going East and China becoming the factory of the world. I do believe that industry is the primary source of development, and Europe cannot survive just offering services. Getting to know the best factories of Europe is the perfect way to share and learn the best practices that make these businesses unique and competitive.”

Expert opinion
Clay for the Centuries
Comalcalco, city of the great potters

The bricks that form many of the buildings of Comalcalco, and a large number of the pieces displayed in the museum, were handmade using molds. More than 1,500 years ago men and women shaped clay to make pots, casseroles, plates, cups and spoons to cook or serve their food. Numerous ceramic pieces were created thanks to the quality of the material, added to the experience of the potters, and these were traded along the Gulf of Mexico coast with distant places in the Yucatan peninsula.

Clay was also used to make necklaces, rings and pendants, as well as the small malacates (grinders) necessary to crush the cotton fiber into a fine thread to be able to weave clothes. The plasticity of the material made it possible to model cylinders of different sizes which fitted together to form pipes used to convey water to certain parts of the city.

The people of Comalcalco exploited the versatility of local clay in the way they made objects associated with their beliefs and rituals. Enormous funerary urns were made to protect and lay out the bodies of distinguished members of the society. The receptacles required advanced knowledge of the plastic qualities of clay to make containers larger than three feet high and three feet wide without collapsing during firing, as well as the experience to know the amount of fuel and the time needed for firing the pieces without using ovens.

Also noteworthy is the production of scale figures of men, women and animals, with many representations of governors, ball players or scenes from textile making or food preparation. There were also pieces which served as rattles (usually female figures), or wind instruments (in male forms). The figurines can allow us to explore aspects of social roles, clothing and aspects of local identity. They are a means of understanding some of the sounds which accompanied the everyday life and rituals of the people.

Clay is a material which has enabled people to make countless things, from the finest to the most crude objects; the only disadvantage is its fragility. As visitors explore the exhibition we invite you to think about all the work the ancient craftspeople put into making each piece, so that when you take a tour of the archeological site, you will understand why access is restricted to certain areas, which are not only very ancient, but much more delicate than stone constructions.

Would you like to join our team? When you come to visit us, help us by explaining to other people the importance of the heritage preserved by the museum, or you can tell people the reasons why we should stick to the path when we walk around the ancient city of Comalcalco.

Corrupted display due to using incorrect driver

Using the SSD1306 driver on a display that has a SH1106 controller can result in the display showing a small section of the expected output with the rest of the display consisting of semi-random pixels (uninitialized memory).

Display corruption due to using driver for wrong controller

Display corruption due to using driver for incorrect controller when running the example

This is due to differences in required initialization sequences and how memory is mapped in the two controllers.

The included examples default to the SSD1306 driver. To use the SH1106 driver instead, include the –display sh1106 command line switch. To use the SSH1106 driver in code, use the luma.oled.device.sh1106 serial interface class.

Alice in Wonderland Dodo Coin Purse

$15.00 CAD

This listing is for one coin purse that measures approximately 4.75" x 3".

The metal zipper is antique brass.
The interior is lined with a 100% cotton fabric that will complement the exterior.

Scott Morrison to address media after rate slash

SCOTT Morrison will address media this afternoon after the Reserve Bank slashed the official cash rate to a fresh historic low of 0.25 per cent in a last-ditch effort to soften the economic blow of the coronavirus pandemic.

The RBA was not scheduled to meet until the first Tuesday of April, but announced the emergency gathering earlier this week in response to the growing crisis.

It has previously signalled it would not cut rates below the 0.25 per cent threshold, and that even if it did, such a move would not be effective.

It is the first time a rate cut has been announced outside a regular meeting since 1997, and is a glaring sign of just how severe the situation is becoming.

Governor Philip Lowe also announced other measures - including quantitative easing - which are designed to make sure credit remains available to individuals and businesses.

"The coronavirus is first and foremost a public health issue, but it is also having a very major impact on the economy and the financial system. As the virus has spread, countries have restricted the movement of people across borders and have implemented social distancing measures, including restricting movements within countries and within cities. The result has been major disruptions to economic activity across the world. This is likely to remain the case for some time yet as efforts continue to contain the virus," he said in a statement this afternoon.

"Financial market volatility has been very high. Equity prices have experienced large declines. Government bond yields have declined to historic lows. However, the functioning of major government bond markets has been impaired, which has disrupted other markets given their important role as a financial benchmark. Funding markets are open to only the highest quality borrowers.

"The primary response to the virus is to manage the health of the population, but other arms of policy, including monetary and fiscal policy, play an important role in reducing the economic and financial disruption resulting from the virus."

He said the virus would be contained "at some point" and the Australian economy "would recover" but in the meantime, the RBA's job was to "support jobs, incomes and businesses, so that when the health crisis recedes, the country is well placed to recover strongly".

In a statement on Monday announcing today's extraordinary meeting, Mr Lowe said Australia's financial system was "resilient" and "well placed to deal with the effects of the coronavirus" - but that trading liquidity "has deteriorated in some markets".

He revealed the RBA was ready to purchase Australian government bonds and embark on quantitative easing - effectively encouraging consumer spending by printing more money and pumping it into the economy.

"The Bank will also be conducting one-month and three-month repo operations in its daily market operations until further notice to provide liquidity to Australian financial markets," he said earlier this week.

"In addition the Bank will conduct longer term repo operations of six-months maturity or longer at least weekly, as long as market conditions warrant.

"The Reserve Bank and the Australian Office of Financial Management (AOFM) are in close liaison in monitoring market conditions and supporting continued functioning of the market."

Canstar's finance expert Steve Mickenbecker said the RBA had "lots of firepower" up its sleeve in 2008 during the GFC, when the cash rate was 7.25 per cent.

But he said the central bank's decision was fitting.

"There is little point in the RBA saving what's left of the cash rate for a rainy day when today is a cyclone," he said.

"What better way for the RBA to spend its last 0.25 per cent than in convincing the markets that they are all on the same team.

"The major banks are likely to feel the obligation to cut again, especially if they too are convinced that this is the last of the cuts and that the announced RBA support measures will be sustained."

KPMG chief economist Dr Brendan Rynne said the bank had been preparing the market for "unconventional monetary policy" for some time.

"The RBA has provided guidance that its program of unconventional monetary policy will be focused exclusively on government bonds. KPMG believes that this is a prudent approach but given the fast-changing impacts of the COVID-19 virus on the economy, particularly in relation to progressively closing down parts of the economy, this focus on government bonds may change," he said.

"KPMG believes there is little downside to the RBA engaging in large-scale bond purchases at this point in time. In so far as they can increase liquidity in the system and reduce interest rates at the longer end of the curve it may help cushion the blow of the COVID-19 shock on the economy.

"We anticipate that the fiscal stimulus measures that the Government has already implemented and those that will come in the coming weeks and months will provide the RBA with the depth required in the bond market to make an impact through this mechanism."

Meanwhile, research from comparison site Mozo has revealed that although interest rates have tumbled to historic lows, only a quarter of people have refinanced their home loan and 67 per cent of people still finance their property through a bricks and mortar bank.

"This is not great news, as bricks and mortar banks usually charge significantly higher interest rates than their competitors leaving the majority of Australian mortgage holders paying too much interest each month at a time they can least afford it," director Kirsty Lamont said.

Mozo found on average the big four banks' interest rates were 1.28 per cent higher than the best rate in the market.

Michael Jackson in the Leaving Neverland trailer.
Michael Jackson in the Leaving Neverland trailer.

Disturbing look at life inside Neverland

THE newly-released trailer for Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland paints an unnerving picture of life at the reclusive pop icon's former ranch.

The controversial film focuses on the allegations against Jackson by two men, Brisbane-born Wade Robson and James Safechuck.

Both men allege that, having befriended them when they were children, Jackson then secretly sexually abused them.

"Everybody wanted to meet Michael or be with Michael," says one of the subjects in the film's trailer, as they recall their first impressions of Jackson's sprawling theme park-like ranch in remote California, dubbed Neverland.

"We drive in, and forget about all your problems, you were in Neverland. It was a fantasy," says one.

"The days were full of magical childhood adventure experiences: Playing tag, watching movies, eating junk food - anything you could ever want as a child."

Jackson "came across as a loving, caring, kind soul" - and in video footage shown in the trailer, can be seen delivering a birthday greeting direct to accuser Wade Robson in which he tells the young boy "I love you".

The accusers explain the fear they say they lived with about the alleged abuse: "He told me if they ever found out what we were doing, he and I would go to jail for the rest of our lives," says one.

The Michael Jackson estate has sent a letter to the UK's Channel 4 warning that the documentary, which is set to air there in early March, violates the network's programming guidelines. The letter written by estate lawyer Howard Weitzman and released Monday to The Associated Press states that Leaving Neverland, set to air in early March, makes no attempt at getting a response to the accusers from Jackson's estate, family, friends or others who have defended his reputation as required by the channel's standards for factual programming and basic journalistic ethics.

The film's director Dan Reed has addressed the criticism from the estate previously, saying in a statement that he intentionally focused on just Robson and Safechuck.

"Anyone who sees the film will know it is solely about hearing the stories of two specific individuals and their families in their own words, and that is a focus we are very proud of," Reed said.

The three-page document from the estate echoes a longer letter it sent to HBO on Friday calling the allegations from Wade Robson and James Safechuck "disgraceful" and urging investigation of the men's backgrounds. A copy of the HBO letter was included with the Channel 4 letter, and applies just as much to the U.K. station, the letter states.

The two channels co-produced the documentary account of how the two men's lives intersected with Jackson's when they were kids at the height of his fame, and how the trauma of what they say happened in their youth started to emerge in their adult life.

It premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival, where Robson and Safechuck got a standing ovation afterwards.

Both had previously told authorities Jackson did not molest them, with Robson testifying as much in Jackson's 2005 trial, in which he was acquitted of molesting another boy. Jackson died in 2009.

Youngstown State University Faculty Now on Strike

  • Youngstown State University

As Youngstown State University begins its fall break, the faculty union is now on strike. Two negotiating sessions last week and a meeting Sunday failed to generate sufficient progress on a new three-year contract, in the union's view, and so members who voted overwhelmingly Saturday to go forward with the strike will begin their virtual and in-person pickets.

Chief among the disputes between faculty and administration are annual pay increases in the new contract. A university "fact-finder" recently produced a report which recommended that faculty receive six percent salary increases over three years. In the university's proposal, however, faculty would receive no increases in year one, a one percent increase in year two and a two percent increase in year three.

University officials have called on faculty members to cancel the strike and to recognize the institution's financial instability in light of the coronavirus. University VP of Finance and Business Operations Neal McNally penned a rebuttal to union claims about the budget. Far from having a surplus, he said that enrollment is down more than four percent this semester and that YSU was projected to lose $3.7 million in operating revenue this year.

But the administration has made only modest movement in negotiations with the union, and 86 percent of the 336 faculty union members voted to strike Saturday, according to Mahoning Matters

The parties will meet Monday afternoon to try once again to iron out an agreement. Students are off Monday and Tuesday, but if the strike continues to Wednesday and beyond, the university says it will make plans to continue classes. They have even put out a call for temporary substitutes.

For poems or lyrics, put a

 between stanzas. At the end, type

If you're inserting a medium-length quotation, one stanza from a song, etc., into a longer writeup, put the

Thanks to N-Wing for correcting my HTML.
One thing to point out which kinda annoys me about generic HTML in general:  and  are formatting tags, whereas  and  are functional tags. Here is an example of the difference between formatting and functional:

Brave New World was a really good book.
The first emphasis is done with , whereas the second is done with . Now, you probably didn't see the difference - but that's because you were looking.

See, italics and bold mean nothing to blind people. Speaking web browsers can theoretically put vocal emphasis on stuff which needs to be emphasized. But if you use only the formatting (or only the functional) tags, then the semantic meaning is lost. Consider the two possibilities of how semantics must be decoded if you only use the formatting form:

*BRAVE NEW WORLD* was a *REALLY* good book.
Brave New World was a really good book.
The first is where the browser needs to assume that all italics are a vocal stress. The second is where the browser needs to assume that all italics are formatting. Either way, nobody wins.

Why nobody? Well, see, it used to be the case that HTML was a markup language, not a desktop publishing language. The whole idea was that the browsers could be setup to interpret tags as was appropriate for the reader (depending on how they've set things up or whatever). Unfortunately, Netscape being half-assed and treating them as the same led to people not knowing the difference, and so now people think that EM and STRONG are just deprecated, verbose versions of I and B.

Wow, a somewhat-contextual MaggieRant(tm) for once.
