Rated NA 90: Keys in The Bowl with Jessica Merizan

Jessica Merizan stops by to talk about community management at BioWare, Crabcat Industries, Try This At Home on Nerdist, and… tomahawks?! We also discuss the latest from the Marvel movie circuit and the announcement that JJ Abrams is directing Star Wars VII. Finally, you talk community events with us in our NAQOTW. So throw your keys in the bowl, sit back, and relax.

Rated NA 90

Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nerd Appropriate and the Rated NA podcast. I like good and bad sci-fi films and tv, pho, and the retrofuture. I am primarily an Xbox gamer, but also do some PC and Wii U gaming as well. By day, I am a research scientist, mostly in topics related to human-computer interaction and user experience. Before all this, fellow NA co-founder Matt and I played music together in various bands. I also used to make "comedy" videos for my high school morning news program before there was a place to post them online. Favorite Star Wars character? Admiral Ackbar. Best Bond era? Timothy Dalton (Craig a close second). Game of all time? Maybe System Shock 2. Thanks for being a part of this labor of nerdy love with us.

    Now I’m disappointed this cast wasn’t titled ‘man sex camp’.

    1. Scott

      I think an entire blog post could have been dedicated to alternate titles for this episode. Thanks, as always, for listening! Maybe we’ll see you at Pax East?

      1. Fluidfyre

        Sadly not :/ , but we hope to make it to Prime?

Ad Orientem - How’s It Going?

Two weeks ago, I received the following message from a priest friend who runs two parishes: “Today was the last Sunday with versus populum Novus Ordo Masses at our parishes ... . From next week on, all Masses shall be celebrated ad orientem.” Another friend, a laymen, wrote at the same time to say “(Our) parish ... will have all the Masses ad orientem during Advent. This has been announced in the bulletin for a month, accompanied with educational explanations, and I know Father X has already received some push-back in his efforts.” The priest has since written to say “I’d like to thank you for your prayers for this weekend. I’d say I almost witnessed a ‘moral miracle’ at (one of his parishes). We had all the Novus Ordo masses celebrated ad orientem, and not a single parishioner criticized or complained about it, something that I certainly never expected. Some people were even happy at this.” Thus far, I haven’t heard from the layman about how things went at his parish.

Anyway, it seems like a good idea to see how things are going with Cardinal Sarah’s call to return to what should, of course, be the norm for Catholic worship, turning to the Lord when addressing the Lord. So I’d like to ask our readers, clerical and lay, to report in the combox of this post their experiences from those places where ad orientem worship has been instituted, even if only ad experimentum. We will be happy to publish photos, which you can submit to our usual photopost address: (We can safely assume that Fr X is not the only priest receiving push-back on this, so if you have any reason to think that your local priest may be put in difficulties, please ask him before commenting or sending in pictures.)

What Goes in the Pot

What goes in the pot?

Like all great cuisines, the food of New Orleans is borne of mixing cultures, geography and necessity. France is the most recognizable parent culture, but West Africa, Native American tribes, Spain, Germany, Vietnam and other contenders have all left their mark. The French, for example, used bread as a staple starch, but bread was difficult to make in swampy Louisiana. Rice, on the other hand, was grown by Native Americans in abundance, and was a common ingredient in Spanish cuisine. So rice replaced bread as a starch, a substitution motivated by ethnic dialogue and the imperative faced poor people across the world: how do we turn the local flora and fauna into something tasty? Luckily, Louisiana has lots of local flora and fauna. The swamp yields fish and shellfish, boar and fowl, and rice, sassafras and okra.

We have to give the French (and later, Spanish) credit for one major contribution to Louisiana food culture, and that is an appreciation of food, the quality of being a bon vivant. While the rest of America saw food as fuel, rather than an experience to be savored, New Orleans was already taking long lunches. Yes, it made us a little less efficient, but also a lot more fun. as slow food/localvore movements become popular in the rest of the USA, New Orleanians shake their heads with a smirk – people here have been obsessing over where their boudin, crawfish and oysters come from long before such questions became popular in New York or San Francisco.

image description

The Holy Trinity

Onions, bell peppers and celery: the base ingredients of both Cajun and Creole cuisine. Which are different things.

Louisiana Creole cuisine

is a style of cooking originating in Louisiana which blends French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Native American, and African influences as well as general Southern cuisine. It is similar to Cajun cuisine in ingredients (such as the holy trinity), but the important distinction is that Cajun cuisine arose from the more rustic, provincial French cooking adapted by the Acadians to Louisiana ingredients, whereas the cooking of the Louisiana Creoles tended more toward classical European styles adapted to local foodstuffs. Broadly speaking, the French influence in Cajun cuisine is descended from various French Provincial cuisines of the peasantry, while Creole cuisine evolved in the homes of well-to-do aristocrats, or those who imitated their lifestyle. Although the Creole cuisine is closely identified with New Orleans culture today, much of it evolved in the country plantation estates so beloved of the pre-Civil War Creoles.

Also known as mudbugs, the legend is that after the Acadians fled Nova Scotia, loyal lobsters swam with them to Louisiana, and along the way they lost so much weight they became crawfish. Thee little shellfish are actually native to the region and have long been a favorite treat at the Louisiana table. Usually served at boils (or in Yat, ‘berls’) after being cooked in pots with salt, pepper, cayenne, Zatarain’s, corn, potatoes and sausages, but is also served within pies, gumbo, etouffee and other presentations. You can get crawfish any time of year, but traditional crawfish season is spring. To eat, pinch the head, yak out the tail and eat the tail meat. Hard core folks suck the juices out of the head.

Blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus – ‘beautiful, savory swimmer’) are another Louisiana favorite. They’re often boiled in a similar fashion to crawfish, or served within gumbo. There’s no surer sign of gumbo quality then the sight of half a crab sticking out of your Styrofoam container. In spring, crabs molt their shells and become soft shell crabs, which are often served fried on a paper plate or within a po’boy.

White and brown shrimp are both harvested in Louisiana and are an enormous component of local cuisine, appearing in gumbo, etouffe, po’boys, pies and innumerable other dishes. Louisiana provides over 50 percent of the shrimp harvest of the lower 48 states.

Louisiana is the leading producer of oysters in the USA. Eating oysters is a bit of an art in New Orleans, and any number of local restaurants are dedicated to the sublime experience of slurping them down raw. They also come fried, broiled, smoked or roasted, and frequently appear as some sort of side, adding richness and complexity to an already decadent cuisine.

Pitt Law Professors Available to Comment on U.S. Supreme Court Cases To Be Argued Next Week Involving Securities Fraud, Class Certification, Criminal Conspiracies, and Double Jeopardy

Contact:  412-624-4147

PITTSBURGH—The following University of Pittsburgh School of Law faculty members are available to comment on several cases scheduled for argument next week before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Comcast v. Behrend

Jasmine B. Gonzales Rose, assistant professor of law and former lead law clerk for the Honorable Damon J. Keith, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, specializes in the intersection of procedural law and civil rights. She is available to comment on Comcast v. Behrend, a Third Circuit antitrust action involving questions of class certification, evidence, and class-wide damages.

Gonzales Rose is particularly interested in the interaction of language rights, substantive and theoretical notions of citizenship, federalism, and principles of democracy in political and legal processes, especially in the jury system. Among her publications is “The Exclusion of Non-English Speaking Jurors: Remedying a Century of Denial of the Sixth Amendment in the Federal Courts of Puerto Rico,” which was published in the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review in 2011 and which explores the constitutional implications of the Jury Selection and Service Act’s English language juror prerequisite as applied in the federal courts in Puerto Rico.

Amgen Inc. v. Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds

Douglas M. Branson, the W. Edward Sell Professor of Business Law, is available to comment on Amgen Inc. v. Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, a case whose decision will affect the standards for class certification of securities fraud claims.

Branson specializes in corporate law and securities regulation. A prolific writer, he has authored or coauthored numerous articles and books, among them The Last Male Bastion: Gender and the CEO Suite in America’s Public Companies (Routledge Press, 2010), Understanding Corporate Law, 3rd edition (Matthew Bender, 2009), Cases and Materials on Business Organizations (Lexis Nexis, 2009), and No Seat at the Table: How Corporate Governance and Law Keep Women Out of the Boardroom (New York University Press, 2007).

Branson’s reputation as one of the country's most productive and thoughtful business law scholars has earned him an especially influential role in framing the American Law Institute's recommendations for corporate governance.

Smith v. United States and Evans v. Michigan

David Harris, professor of law and associate dean for research, is available to comment on Smith v. United States and Evans v. Michigan. Smith involves narcotics and RICO conspiracy convictions and the burden of persuasion on the defense of withdrawal from a conspiracy. Evans concerns a double jeopardy clause issue that arose after a trial judge granted a midtrial-directed verdict of acquittal that was based on an error of law.

A Pitt School of Law Distinguished Faculty Scholar, Harris studies, writes about, and teaches police behavior and regulation, law enforcement, and national security issues and the law. He is a leading national authority on racial profiling. His 2002 book, Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling Cannot Work (The New Press) and his scholarly articles about traffic stops and stops and frisks have influenced the national debate on profiling and related topics. His 2005 book, Good Cops: The Case for Preventive Policing, uses case studies from around the country to demonstrate that citizens need not trade liberty for safety. In his latest book, Failed Evidence: Why Law Enforcement Resists Science (NYU Press, 2012), Harris examines why many police and prosecutorial agencies oppose replacing questionable investigative methods with science-based, empirically proven techniques.

2004 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Wangari Muta Maathai Is Pitt Alumna: She Earned the Master of Science Degree in Biology at the University of Pittsburgh in 1965

Second year in a row that Pitt graduate has won a Nobel Prize
Contact:  412-624-4147

PITTSBURGH—The 2004 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Muta Maathai, is a 1965 Master of Science graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. She earned her M.S. degree in biology in Pitt's Faculty of Arts and Sciences; she went on to earn a Ph.D. degree at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, in 1971.

This is the second year in a row that a Pitt graduate has won a Nobel Prize. Last year, Pitt alumnus Paul C. Lauterbur, who earned his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Pitt in 1962, received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.

"Any university makes many of its most important contributions through the work of its graduates," commented University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg upon learning of Maathai's honor. "Therefore, everyone at Pitt is thrilled that Dr. Wangari Maathai has been selected for this very well-deserved recognition. Increasingly, it is being recognized that environmental sustainability is one key factor in preserving the peace. Dr. Maathai's efforts through the Green Belt Movement not only have highlighted that challenge, but have done something about it, by tackling the critical problem of deforestation in Africa.

"When Dr. Paul Lauterbur, also a University of Pittsburgh graduate, won the Nobel Prize in Medicine last year, I feared that we never would be able to maintain our pace on that front. However, the announcement that Dr. Maathai has been selected to receive the Nobel Peace Prize shows that, even in terms of the highest levels of international recognition, we do have the capacity to sustain our momentum," Nordenberg added.

Award-Winning Story Of Punk Pioneer Ian Dury From Tribeca Film And New Video SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL, Out On Dvd January 25

“Andy Serkis uncoils a performance of spit, grit and wit…” –Los Angeles Times

“You can’t take your eyes off of him.” –Vanity Fair

NEW YORK, DECEMBER 2, 2010 – Named after one of Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ most enduring songs, sex&drugs&rock&roll is a rip-snorting portrait of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. Dury, the mercurial British punk rock pioneer, is indelibly portrayed by Andy Serkis. The performance garnered a BAFTA nomination for Serkis, who is known for his motion-capture collaborations with Peter Jackson in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and the upcoming The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.

From Dury’s troubled childhood and a debilitating battle with polio to the effects of fame on relationships and fatherhood, experience the highs and lows of a life lived sneeringly, unapologetically out loud. Serkis is surrounded by what The New York Times calls a “formidably gifted supporting cast,” including Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean, 28 Days Later), Ray Winstone (The Departed, Sexy Beast), Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore) and Toby Jones (Infamous, The Mist). The story is inventively depicted by director Mat Whitecross, who previously co-directed the award-winning docu-drama, The Road to Guantanamo, with Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People).

The New York Daily News raves, “Whitecross and Serkis gleefully adopt their subject’s punk-rock ethos, injecting mischievous energy into every scene.” Vanity Fair says, “Serkis captures the qualities that made Dury a great frontman — his working-class swagger, his delight in word play, the vulnerability behind his often brutish veneer, and the magnetic charisma that in every era separates those who belong on stage from those who don’t. You can’t take your eyes off of him.”

The single disc is filled with revealing bonus features, including an audio commentary and interview with Whitecross, Serkis and the rest of the team behind the film, plus deleted scenes and My Tribeca Story, a featurette about Whitecross presented by American Express.

sex&drugs&rock&roll is one of a selection of Tribeca Film titles being distributed by New Video in 2010 and 2011. Tribeca Film is a distribution platform acquiring and releasing films year-round and is supported by Founding Partner American Express. The films range from award-winning dramas and revealing documentaries to uproarious comedies and stunning animated features, many of which premiered at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival prior to theatrical runs in New York and Los Angeles. The films from the Tribeca Film slate were also available on video on demand in 40 million U.S. homes simultaneously with their Festival screenings through relationships with leading telecom, cable and satellite providers.

New Video plans to release one to two titles per month leading up to the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.

Another beautiful April day in New York

Forsythia hanging down along the 96th Street transverse. 3:30 PM.
The night before last when I was over at the Pierre attending the Versailles-Giverny dinner, down at Cipriani 42nd Street, City Harvest was holding its 14th Annual Practical Magic Ball and raised almost $1.25 million for the cause, which is: feeding hungry New Yorkers.

City Harvest is in the business of collecting food from restaurants, events, markets that is left over at the end of the day and re-distributing it throughout the city to feed those who need it. There are lot of us who need it in New York. And a lot of us are children and elderly people.
Arthur Backal, Heather Mnuchin, Susan Rosenbach, Sheri Gellman, Linda Petrone, and Pamela Kaufmann
So City Harvest buys these trucks, hires people to do the job of collecting and redistributing. This is a demanding and expensive order. Food and hunger is not a sexy charity, although from the looks of things it is about to become so.

The men and mostly women who have volunteered over the years to raise the money and keep the machine running really had to work to get the fund-raising job done. A few years ago, they also acquired some new blood, up-coming women (and some men) who’ve used their connections and resources to increase the fund-raising. They have been very successful.
The scene at Cipriani 42nd Street.
At Tuesday night’s Practical Magic Ball: Rob Morrison of WNBC’s Today in New York will was Master of Ceremonies. There was a cocktail reception and a silent auction followed by dinner and live auction. This year’s Co-Chairs were Sheri Gellman, Pamela Kaufmann, Heather Mnuchin, Linda Petrone, Susan Rosenbach and Jeffrey Weiss. The Dinner Chairs were Arthur Backal and Timothy White, and the Journal Chair was Nick Mautone.

Special guests included Emmy Rossum, Melissa George, Katie Lee Joel, Michael Imperioli, Christine Quinn, Jeff Zucker, along with many prominent New Yorkers including Heather and Steven Mnuchin, Malaak Compton-Rock, Susan and Gary Rosenbach, Tracy Nieporent, Emilia Saint-Amand and Fred Krimendahl, Chefs Eric Ripert, Tom Colicchio, Donatella Arpaia, Terrance Brennan and Michael Psilakas.

Down at the Pierre there was the Turn of Our Century Ball at which more than 500 turned out to honor Jeffrey Peek, Chairman and CEO of CIT with the Ann Vanderbilt Award for Achievement in recognition of his personal contribution to Partnership with Children over the years.This year CIT celebrates its 100th anniversary. The company was founded by Henry Ittleson, husband of one of the founders of Big Sisters, Blanche Ittleson.

The Award given to Mr. Peek was named after the founder and first president of Big Sisters, Inc. which was founded in 1908 and is now known as Partnership with Children. The Partnership is a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the emotional, social and cognitive skills of at-risk public school children in order to help them succeed in school, in society and in their lives.

Enter Jeff Peek
They raised a million dollars last night. Jeff Peek and his wife Liz are very active in New York philanthropies including the School of American Ballet. A socially active couple as well (and Liz Peek also writes a business column for the New York Sun) they “chose” the organizations they support because of the work they do with assisting young people in developing their own lives.

The evening’s Chairs were Beatrice Broadwater, Thong Nguyen and Liz Peek. The Founders Committee includes Anthony Ittleson and Wendy Vanderbilt.

After cocktails, I got a ride with Sylvester and Gillian Miniter over to the Mandarin Oriental in the Time Warner Towers where the Friends of New Yorkers For Children were holding their annual Fools Fete, celebrating New Years in April. New Yorkers For Children was started twelve years ago by Nicholas Scoppetta, the New York City Fire Commissioner. NYFC was created to assist children in foster care in facing the matter of growing up and being independent. They carry out their objective in a number of ways including helping with private funds including college scholarships, tutoring programs, mentoring, networking opportunities and school supplies such as computers.

Commissioner Scoppetta was a child in foster care and he knows the path these children face.

The Fools Fete is one of the younger social galas in New York. It is a very dressy affair and there’s an electricity in the air during the cocktail hour; people are glad to be there and looking forward to the evening which is mainly a dinner dance with the beautiful Sky Nellor DJ-ing.

More about last night’s two galas, and lots more pictures of them will be on Monday’s NYSD.

Meanwhile, this week’s Telegraph of London included an obituary of a man named Sidney Dowse who died recently at age 89. I’d never heard of Mr. Dowse before but I was intrigued when I learned that he had been one of the British officers imprisoned by the Nazis who made The Great Escape, the novel made into one of the greatest  suspense thriller films of the 1960s. One thing the film did not provide (at least not memorably) was the fascinating background of some of the characters on whom the story was based. One of them, you will learn if you didn’t know, was Sidney Dowse, the subject of this obituary. Mr. Dowse lived to the fullest, had a most interesting life, and, as it turned out, a rather charmed one in many ways.

Sydney Dowse, who died on Thursday aged 89, was one of the principal constructors of the tunnel used in the Great Escape; he was among those who got away, and was at large for 14 days before being recaptured and sent to the "death camp" at Sachsenhausen, where he dug another tunnel to gain a few more days of freedom.

Dowse had been in captivity for just over a year when he arrived in May 1942 at Hermann Goering's "escape-proof" camp, Stalag Luft III, at Sagan. He made two unsuccessful attempts before further efforts by the prisoners were put on to a more formal footing by the formation of an escape committee under the chairmanship of Roger Bushell, known as "Big X".

The committee decided to attempt a mass break-out through three tunnels - known as Tom, Dick and Harry - dug from the north compound to the nearby woods. Dowse had dug tunnels at his previous camps and was soon recruited to work on Harry. The trapdoor to the tunnel in Block 104 was beneath one of the stoves that were in the corner of every room. A 25ft shaft was dug into the sandy soil beneath the block before the tunnel headed for the camp perimeter.

Sydney Dowse.
Although Dowse spent most of his time underground, he also befriended a German corporal who worked in the censor's office at the camp headquarters. Through this contact he obtained numerous authentic documents, which were passed to the escape committee for copying, and much valuable military intelligence. He even managed to persuade the corporal to provide him with a tailored suit, which he subsequently wore for his escape.

By mid-March 1944 the 336ft-long Harry (the only surviving tunnel) was complete. On the night of March 24 the tunnellers broke surface, but they were a few yards short of the covering woods. This caused delays; and Dowse, who was the 21st man to exit, and his Polish friend "Danny" Krol, were unable to catch their intended train. Their plan was to head for Poland, where they hoped to link up with the Polish resistance. The ever-resourceful Dowse had obtained a three-week supply of genuine food vouchers from the German corporal, so the two men decided to set off on foot and follow the main railway line eastwards.

Having walked for 14 days, they were close to the Polish border when a member of the Hitler Youth spotted them. They were arrested, the last to be recaptured. While Dowse was taken to Berlin for interrogation, Krol was handed over to the Gestapo and was the last of the 50 prisoners executed on the orders of Adolf Hitler. (Dowse was descended from a distinguished German family and always assumed that this had saved him from the Gestapo.)

Sydney Hastings Dowse was born on November 21 1918 at Hammersmith and was educated at Hurstpierpont College. In July 1937 he joined the recently formed RAF Volunteer Reserve, learning to fly at weekends. At the outbreak of war he was called up for regular service and completed his pilot training.

Dowse initially flew Coastal Command Ansons on anti-submarine and convoy escort operations with No 608 Squadron. At the end of 1940 he volunteered to join the expanding reconnaissance force and, after converting to the Spitfire, joined No 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit (PRU).

The high-flying Spitfires spent much of their time monitoring the movements of Germany's capital ships, and Dowse, who flew many such sorties, was mentioned in dispatches. On September 20 1941 he set off on the familiar route to the Brest Peninsula to photograph the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, but his aircraft was shot down over the French coast and he was forced to bale out; he was suffering from a leg wound and was soon captured.

In December Dowse escaped from the hospital where he was being treated, but three days later he was caught by a guard as he crossed the German-Dutch border and sent to Stalag IXC, at Bad Sulza. By mingling in a working party, Dowse soon managed to get away again. He travelled by train towards Belgium, then continued on foot towards the German-Belgian frontier, where, suffering from extreme exhaustion, he was recaptured. After hospital treatment he was imprisoned at Oflag VIB, where he helped to build four tunnels, through one of which six officers escaped in April 1942. A month later Dowse was transferred to Sagan.

Jimmy James.
After his interrogation in Berlin following the Great Escape, Dowse was sent to the "death camp" at Sachsenhausen, where he found three others who had been spared, among them his friend Jimmy James. Within days of their arrival the men were discussing how to get out.

Undeterred by the threat of execution if they escaped, the four, together with another prisoner, started a tunnel. Dowse and James were the two diggers using spoons and a kitchen knife. It was a massive undertaking, yet they dug a tunnel 110ft long.

On the night of September 23 the five men broke out, an event which astonished the Germans who launched a widespread search and placed a high price on their heads. Dowse travelled with "Wings" Day, and a few days later they were captured on the outskirts of Berlin. On their return to Sachsenhausen they were chained to the floor of a death cell and cruelly interrogated. They did not expect to survive.

In the event, after five months of solitary confinement, they were released back into the main camp, where they witnessed daily executions.

From February 1945 they were moved to other concentration camps with a group of prominent prisoners to be held as possible hostages. They were moved to Dachau and then to the Tyrol, where they were liberated by Allied forces in May 1945. On May 13 Dowse and his comrades were flown back to Blackbushe and a period of convalescence. In due course it was announced that Dowse had been awarded an MC for his conduct whilst a prisoner. He was released from the RAF as a flight lieutenant in January 1946.

Sydney Dowse with Raymond Van Wymeersch
Dowse served as an equerry at Buckingham Palace and had a long and successful career as a civil servant. For a number of years in the 1950s, at the time of the communist insurgency, he served in Malaya as assistant secretary to the Penang Settlement. In 1966 Dowse and his colleagues sought compensation for those who had suffered in concentration camps. The Foreign Office claimed that the RAF men were "held under conditions which could not be equated to those of concentration camps proper". Airey Neave MP, who had escaped from Colditz, led the protests. After an acrimonious debate in Parliament a lengthy inquiry was held, and two years later the Ombudsman found in favour of 12 British servicemen who had been imprisoned in Sachsenhausen, including the RAF men.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary in March 1994 of the escape from Stalag Luft III, Dowse organised, and financed, a memorial service at the RAF church at St Clement Danes followed by a champagne reception at the RAF Club. Seventeen of the survivors were amongst those who attended and, 10 years later, some of them were reunited at the Imperial War Museum, where Dowse met the actor John Leyton, who played him in the film The Great Escape. Leyton commented: "It was an honour and a privilege. What you did was absolutely extraordinary."

Despite the loss of so many men, Dowse always believed the Great Escape was worth it. In later years he observed: "We caused havoc to the Germans. We tied up thousands … looking for us."

Dowse had an irrepressible enthusiasm and easy-going bonhomie. In Sagan he gained the nickname "Laughing Boy", but this disguised a tough and determined resolve. His friend Jimmy James remarked: "His spirit was undimmed; even in Sachsenhausen he was as ebullient as ever."

In retirement Dowse divided his time between his elegant homes in Chelsea and Monte Carlo. Well known at the Savoy Hotel in London, he never needed to book for dinner, always being shown to one of the best tables.

Throughout his life Dowse was passionate about rugby. Both before and after the war he turned out for Harlequins (whose tie remained his favoured neckwear), and at Stalag Luft III, during breaks from his tunnelling duties, he played in the camp's 1st XV. He continued to enjoy the fine things in life - including his Rolls-Royce and fast sports car - into old age, and once remarked: "Once one escapes from [Sachsenhausen], life holds no difficulties."

It is thought that Sydney Dowse married three times, but at the time of his death he was single.

The World famous Austrian Architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser spent the last 20 years of his life living in the north of New Zealand in a small town called Kawakawa in the Bay of Islands.

He is however not as well known in his adopted New Zealand as in his native Austria mainly because most of his architectural work is located in Europe.

A noted exception however is located in Kawakawa where the public toilets are a Hundertwasser design and they attract a continual stream of locals and tourists to pause and admire the uniqueness of Hundertwasser's architecture.

Many countries have now issued postage stamps using Hundertwasser artwork including of course Austria which has had several issues. For details of these Austrian Hundertwasser stamps and all other Hundertwasser stamps click here.

The Babadook

Great Australian Movies

The Babadook - Monday 15 October 2018

6.30pm only
Directed by Jennifer Kent
93 mins  M

Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her 'out of control' 6 year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel's dreams are plagued by a monster he believes is coming to kill them both. When a disturbing storybook called 'The Babadook' turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes more unpredictable and violent. Amelia, genuinely frightened by her son's behaviour, is forced to medicate him. But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.

Winning 53 International Film awards, The Babadook tied with The Water Diviner for best Australian film at the ACCTA 2014 and won the Best Direction and Screenplay awards.

“This simple yet shiver-inducing tale, the auspicious feature debut of Australian writer/director Jennifer Kent, makes for one of the better horror movies of recent times..” – Peter Howell,Toronto Star

“What I really liked about this film was the cohesiveness of the ideas in it and, I don't know, I just thought it was so finely pitched and intriguing from go to whoa..” – Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies

board involvement

  One of the biggest fears shared by charitable board members is the fear of asking for money. For most charities, raising funds through board members is a duty and, quite frankly, an obligation.

Regulations for Bouvetøya Nature Reserve

Bouvetøya (Bouvet Island) and its territorial waters were protected in 1971, making it the world’s most remote nature reserve. All activity on the island is strictly regulated.

The 1971 Regulation (Regulations relating to Bouvetøya Nature Reserve) states that the landscape is protected from all forms of physical disturbance such as road building, installation of buildings and constructions of any kind, or other activities that entail disturbance on the terrain or of the natural environment. However, installations required for management activities are allowed. Animal life, including birds’ nests and eggs, is protected throughout the year and it is forbidden to take dogs ashore. The plant life is to be protected from all damaging disturbance with exception of that caused by ordinary traffic. Off-road vehicles and the landing of aircrafts are prohibited without spesific permission.

Permission to land or stay on Bouvetøya is basically not required. However, in practice, helicopter is usually required to access Bouvetøya. The steep cliffs make landing by boat very difficult. There are few places where it is possible to go ashore, and the ocean swell will generally make it hazardous to land from a boat. The safest way of landing people and cargo is therefore by helicopter from a vessel. Since landing of helicopters on Bouvetøya is prohibited, a special permit from the Norwegian Polar Institute is required if use of helicopter nevertheless is deemed necessary for activity on the island.

Special regulations regarding the conduct of activities have also been introduced in the Nyrøysa area, where the CCAMLR monitoring takes place. Direct human disturbance must be avoided in this area to ensure the best possible monitoring results.

The spesific regulations relating to activity in the Nyrøysa area states that from 1 November to 15 March it is only allowed to visit the Nyrøysa area in connection with environmental monitoring approved by the Norwegian Polar Institute. There are also special regulations regarding aircraft from 1 November to 1 May. The Norwegian Polar Institute can grant exemption from the stipulations laid down in the Regulation for research that cannot be performed elsewhere and does not come into conflict with the environmental monitoring. Visits to the Nyrøyse area for other purposes are not permitted in the period covered by the traffic ban.

The Norwegian Polar Institute can provide more details about the regulations and how to apply for exemption from them.

Apart from the field station in the Nyrøysa area, there is no infrastructure on the island, nor is there any local rescue service. All who wish to travel to Bouvetøya must therefore be self-sufficient with logistics and have the necessary state of preparedness to ensure their own safety. Bouvetøya is generally hidden in fog, so one must expect waiting before a helicopter can land there. Few places on the island are suitable for any form of activity and camping, and staying on the island will always be somewhat hazardous. The mountainsides are unstable and there is a considerable risk of landslides. The ice cap, which covers most of the island, has not been surveyed for crevasses.

Twenty-three young opera singers who have won regional auditions around the United States arrived at the Met this week to compete in the next phase of the country’s leading vocal competition: the semi-final round of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. They were chosen from nearly 1,500 singers who participated in auditions held in 42 districts and 13 regions across the US and Canada. The closed semi-final competition, held on the Met stage before a panel of judges, will determine the select group of finalists who will advance to the final round of the competition. Just as at the Districts and Regionals, singers have prepared five arias of which one will be chosen by them, and one will be chosen by the judges. Following the semi-finals, those contestants who advance will have a week of preparation with Met musical and dramatic coaches to prepare for the Grand Finals Concert next week.
The semi-finalists arrive at the Met on Friday, March 4 to rehearse with the company’s music staff in preparation for the semi-finals competition on Sunday, March 6. The winners of this event will go on to sing in the Grand Finals Concert on Sunday, March 13 hosted by past National Council Auditions winner Deborah Voigt. Each finalist will perform two arias with conductor Antony Walker and the Met Orchestra. Bass-baritone Eric Owens, a past National Council Auditions winner and National Advisor for the Metropolitan Opera National Council, will be the guest artist and perform during the judges’ deliberations once the auditions part of the program is over.
At the end of the concert, winners will be announced, each of whom will receive an individual cash prize of $15,000 and career-making exposure.

Semi-Finalists: 8 sopranos, 2 mezzo-sopranos, 1 tenor, 1 countertenor, 7 baritones, 2 bass-baritones  and 2 basses

Flamenco Festival

Each song was orally transmitted from generation to generation, no music written and performed individually by each performer or performer. Eventually, the singer would be accompanied by the sound of a guitar, the movements of a dancer, or both. The theme of the songs has been expanded to include topics such as love, death, and the celebration, even politics and humor, the development of the different flamenco styles that exist today. The musical influences of Arabic, Jewish and even Andalusian culture local gradually became a part of the sound. What began as a thick voice, continuous, with the sound of the guitar, the movements of a dancer of accompaniment, and later, the applause of the audience, which accentuates the rhythm of the music. In fact, flamenco is an experience that shouldn’t be missed, and if your itinerary includes a trip to Seville, is very likely, a range of options that may occur to the magic and the thrill of the experience. A visit to the Museum of Flamenco Dance (dance Flamenco Museum) is a good place to start learning about the history of dance. Open 9 am 7 pm, visitors have the opportunity to browse a collection of audio-visual screens, permanent exhibitions, and teaching studios, spread over the three floors of this multi-million dollar project which opened in 2006.

They have season performances in the evenings during the summer, or also to participate in classes and workshops that throughout the year. Those interested in a dinner and a drink with flamenco performance are directed to Los Gallos flamenco show in the plaza de Santa Cruz, for 20 euros, with drink included. Or Flamenco Tablao El Arenal, near the plaza de toros in a restored building from the 17TH century. Shows with or without dinner 30 euros are offered. There are plenty of bars offering nights of flamenco, sometimes even for free. It’s a great way to experience flamenco without having to pay more than what you drink. You can choose to attend to a show with music or dance only.

There are plenty of bars in the old town of the city, such as El Tamboril or Carboneria in Santa Cruz. Every two years, the biennial of Flamenco Festival is celebrated in Seville, which attracts artists from throughout Spain and tourists from around the world. The spectacle of the day, is set for the year 2008, usually around September. Those who have the good fortune to witness a performance live, impromptu, late at night in a bar smoked on the outskirts of the city, is likely that encountering a moving experience, as close to traditional flamenco that can get. The idea that flamenco is nothing beyond a theatrical performance of eye-catching colors and dance could not be further from the truth. The Flemish of truth is not heard, but experienced by the public. Some say that flamenco can not see, but it has to feel. An experience of communication between artists performers and the audience. It is a conversation to through the music. Before traveling to Sevilla, remember to reserve one of the apartments for rent Sevilla can be booked online! Seville holiday apartments have everything you need!

Pupil Premium Meeting

Mrs Handley (Vice Chair/Parent Governor) and myself met with members of the Senior Leadership Team to discuss Pupil Premium. This is additional funding for all publicly funded schools in England, to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gap between them and their peers. Details of how this funding is spent can be found elsewhere on the website. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the main aspects and issues surrounding Oakham’s funding:

What evidence is there that the spending is effective and has narrowed the gap? How is the funding spent on higher attaining eligible pupils? Where has the funding had its biggest impact? Where has it not had an impact? How does the spending compare to previous years? In addition we wanted to explore the reasoning and thinking behind the use of the funding.

The information gained at the meeting has been passed to all Governor colleagues for discussion. However, there were two noticeable key points that emerged from the meeting that are worth noting here. The first is that the fact that the data shows that our eligible pupils have been outperforming non-disadvantaged pupils nationally. The second point is majority of PP spending is used on extra staffing; the direct effect of this being the impact that the extra staff enable PP learners make very good progress- the key factor in justifying how the funding is used. My thanks to the SLT for their valuable time and input.

Street Level Health Project Helps New Immigrants Get on Their Feet

The health center enables some of Oakland’s most vulnerable populations access to health care and employment resources.

The Bay Area boasts plenty of nonprofits and organizations dedicated to helping vulnerable groups receive health care. But one of the biggest hurdles that keeps people from connecting with those kinds of invaluable resources is access — the physical, economic, or structural barriers that prevent people from receiving the help they need.

So when Kathy Ahoy, at the time a public health nurse for Alameda County, wanted to help Oakland’s underinsured, uninsured, and recently arrived immigrants, she took to the streets to meet people where they were. She co-founded Street Level Health Project in 2002 and with a team began reaching out to day laborers and other low-wage workers with health care services and other resources. The group eventually became a formal nonprofit and expanded its offerings to help job seekers. The organization serves around 800 people in the clinic annually and last year provided 600 job placements.

Health care remains a central part of the group’s mission. Twice a week, the organization provides free health care screenings to low- and no-income clients. The approach to health care is comprehensive, focusing not just on immediate health needs, but also on nutrition and mental health services as well as connections to other health care providers in the community.

The mental health care the health center provides is vital, said Gabriela Galicia, Street Level Health Project’s executive director. “We know our communities are migrating from other countries and the trauma that they have faced in their own countries, in the process of migrating, and even just here in the United States make it hard for sometimes people to move on with their lives and really build a life for themselves,” she said.

Appointments are designed to be as comprehensive as possible. Many workers can’t afford to take time off work to go to several follow-up appointments, so Street Level tries to include as much as it can in the appointments. Its services provide an easy entry into the often-confusing health care system in the clients’ new country, a process simplified by having staff members on hand who speak the new immigrant’s language. Over the years, many of the new immigrants the group works with have been from Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras. But recently there’s been a rise in the number of Mam immigrants, an indigenous Mayan people from Guatemala. The Mam immigrants don’t speak Spanish, so Street Level has responded to this new need by hiring Mam interpreters.

Part of Street Level’s holistic approach means helping people in all areas of their lives, so it also offers connections to services like immigration lawyers and free, healthy groceries. One of the goals is to lift low-wage workers out of poverty through education, and Street Level works closely with Oakland’s day labor community, many of whom are new immigrants who don’t know their rights when it comes to working in the United States. Every Tuesday, for two hours, Street Level hosts workshops for workers, teaching them that anyone who works in the United States — regardless of legal status — has the same workplace rights to breaks, minimum wage, and safe working conditions. Not all day laborers know this, leading to some predatory behavior from unscrupulous bosses. Sometimes a boss will tell workers he’ll pay them for a day’s work tomorrow, only to disappear, or a job site might not have necessary safety equipment. Other times, a boss may drive workers to another city for work where the minimum wage is higher but fail to pay the worker’s the higher wage. In their workshops, Street Level talks about the history of worker-led movements, encouraging workers to share their experiences. “We try and spotlight this community a lot, because we know that often they live in the shadows,” Galicia said. “Often people walk in feeling every day that there’s not an awareness of what these workers are facing on a day-to-day basis.”

Street Level also runs the Oakland Workers’ Collective, which makes it easier for workers to find jobs through a job-matching website. The way it works is that a potential employer provides information about what kind of job he or she needs to be done and is matched with a worker with the appropriate skills. Street Level ensures that the wages are fair.

The work is personal for Edgar Salazar, the organization’s day labor employment advocate. “I’ve been undocumented myself — my parents brought me here at the age of 3 or 4 years old — [but] I have DACA now, so I think I’ve seen both sides of the story,” he said. Salazar described working in unsafe and illegal conditions but believed that he had no other options.

“I felt like if I got fired from this job, I wasn’t going to be able to pay my rent or my school or anything. I was always scared of leaving a job, and I think that’s one of the things that’s really important to me, just for community to know their rights, that if they are getting paid an unfair wage, that they have the right to say it,” he said.

Five years ago, he said, he didn’t know any of this. But now, he said, “I feel like this is the way of me contributing to a change that’s really important.”

Bump Watch :: 39 Weeks

 photo 022c1ecf-0f24-484c-a07c-3b9e8a2ff291_zpsb09b320d.jpg

How far along: 39 weeks

Size of Baby: 20 in & 7.25 lb

Fruit/vegetable comparison: Small Watermelon

Total weight gain: 28 lbs (almost 29 lbs)

Sleep:  Not too bad other then getting up to use the restroom several times a night and having to continue to turn over to relieve my sore hips.  I'm honestly not complaining now that the heartburn & indigestion are almost none existent!

Movement:  Love feeling her move.  As she is running out of room her little kicks and punching can be a bit more painful, but I know I'm going to miss this feeling once she is out.

Unglamorous body changes: My stomach is starting to feel pretty stretched.  There are times when I feel like it can't stretch any farther and my belly can be quite sensitive.  Still no stretch marks though!  Fingers crossed it stays that way.  Ha!

What I miss: I remember the days when I could get pretty comfortable pretty easily but these days it takes a little more time to get there.  Then I'm only comfortable for a short time before I have to switch positions.

Milestones: She's probably able to flex her limbs now.  Her brain is still rapidly developing -- she's getting smarter by the week!  Her nails may extend past his fingertips.  (the

Labor Signs:  I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks lately.  There were even a couple of times this week that I thought I could be going into labor.  Friday night the contractions were so strong that is was contorting my belly and you could even see the shape of Maggie!!  It lasted for a few hours but then started to lessen.  I've definitely been having contractions everyday but they are inconsistent.  I saw the doctor today and she said I was still 1 cm dialated but maybe a little more then that.  I was also 50% effaced, and she still thinks I will go into labor after my due date.  :(

Best moment this week: The nursery is finally finished and I took pictures of it this weekend.  I plan to post them this Thursday!!  I also got to have lunch with my friends Brittney (who was in town from Houston) & her sister Chelsea on Friday.  I also met with a photographer on Wednesday to discuss newborn pictures.  She was a little pricey so I'm still looking.  Finally, Ryan and I had probably our last date night on Saturday night.  It was a pretty great week (other then Maggie didn't come).

Looking forward to: Maggie's due date being here and obviously being that much closer to the day she actually decides to make her appearance.  I'm also looking forward to 3 months off from work to spend with my little girl.

Since I think little Maggie is going to miss St. Patrick's Day I wanted to post what will most likely be her first holiday outfit.  How cute is this bunny onesie and leg warmers???  I also got a black bow to go along with this.
This outfit is from here.  (Picture is from the etsy shop.)

  1. That little miss is gonna be one stylin' girl! What a cute Easter outfit! You look beautiful and yay for no stretch marks! :) Did you see Em had her baby last night? Your up next mama!

  2. Any day now! That outfit is too cute!

  3. Oh my look beautiful!! So so excited for you to experience the most incredible day of your whole life!! Could be any day now!! Can't wait to hear details!! Hope that I'm hugging you sooner rather than later. We're moving to Houston in about 4 weeks! I will be praying for you these next few days and waiting anxiously to hear that you're on the way to the hospital!!

  4. Ugh- my hips ache all night long too! I cannot believe your post says 39 weeks!! It's almost time! : )

  5. You look so pretty! And I love that easter outfit :) I can't wait to see Maggie rock it :D

  6. I can't wait to see the nurseru pictures!

  7. I can't wait for these "Bump Watch" posts to turn into a "She's Here!" post :) So excited for you!

  8. So excited to see pictures of her!

I'd love to hear from you!
