Valtteri Bottas (3rd, 1:12.223): "This weekend has been a bit tricky for us. We started well in FP1 before getting a bit lost with the set-up in FP2. Then it was difficult to get a lap together in Qualifying as well. It takes two to three laps to build the temperature up and find the right balance and feel for the car. It was very close today but Ferrari seems to have the upper hand here - they were very strong this afternoon. Of course it would be nice to start on the front row but anything is possible from P3 on the grid. It's difficult to overtake here but it's definitely a race of opportunity. Tomorrow is Monaco, where anything can happen."

Lewis Hamilton (14th, 1:14.106): "I really struggled with the car today and I just don't think the opportunity was quite there for me. It was a little bit unfortunate with the yellow flag, but it doesn't really matter now if I could have gone faster. I think that lap may have just got me into the top 10 but I would have struggled to make it into the top five with the pace that I had. Valtteri didn't have any struggles today so I'm a bit confused and I can't pinpoint the problem at the moment. I'm feeling pretty deflated right now but I'll try again tomorrow. It's great that Valtteri extracted a good lap. We just need to identify why I wasn't able to be up there too. Onwards and upwards."

James Allison, Technical Director: "That was an excellent lap from Valtteri who wrung every last drop of performance out of the car this afternoon and gave us a fighting chance in the race with a P3 grid position. Clearly we have a significant job of work on our hands to understand why the car was so difficult to drive for Lewis - and to figure out what we can do with the limited adjustments we can make, and the slightly greater freedom in race strategy, to recover as good a result as possible tomorrow."

Toto Wolff: "Two very different qualifying results today for Lewis and Valtteri. With Lewis, you could see even from the TV pictures that he was struggling with the car and nearly lost it a couple of times in qualifying. We don't know at the moment what went wrong: we took a false turn with the set-up on Thursday and, since then, although we tried to retrace our steps, we never got it back on track for him. Of course he was unfortunate with the yellow flag for Vandoorne in Q2, as he was on course to make it through the session, but the car never felt good for him after FP1 and that made it tough to put together the laps. Tomorrow's race will clearly be a case of damage limitation for him and trying to maximise his points score; but he will fight to the last lap. For Valtteri, it was quite a different outcome. The result he achieved didn't look possible for much of the session but he really pulled out a fantastic lap on the final run in Q3 - and came just a few thousandths shy of a place on the front row. Ferrari are clearly in the driving seat for tomorrow but we will be in the hunt, too."

Red Bull-Tag Heuer

Max Verstappen (4th, 1:12.496): "I think in Q3 my fast lap was optimal. I was struggling a little bit with front grip so I couldn't get the tyres to work how I wanted but in the end we were not too far off. It is always nice to be closer but I think the lap I did was pretty much on the limit. The Ferraris have looked good all weekend and Bottas managed to sneak in between us which was a bit of a shame. With a clean start and a good strategy we can be in the mix. Monaco is unique and it is hard to predict how the race will play out, there could be a safety car or stoppage at any time so we have to wait see. I will keep an eye on how the tyres behave and pit when we think it is the right opportunity. That is something you have to feel during the race. Being close to the top three means a podium is within reach, but tomorrow I am going to concentrate on my race and try to finish, I want to break the 'curse' I have around here!"

Daniel Ricciardo (5th, 1:12.998): "It was a frustrating one for me today, as I think we could have done better. In Q3 we did one lap and we needed to push hard on the out lap to really get the tyres ready and warm, the ultrasofts are not that soft here and need to be worked hard. We came out and had cars in front of us and it seemed like I had a gap behind me, I don't know why we didn't wait for that gap so that I could push in the out lap. So I started the lap with the tyres not where I wanted them and obviously around here that's a big thing, as is getting it right in Qualifying. However, we will see what happens tomorrow."

Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "It was certainly an exciting Qualifying. To end up fourth and fifth only three tenths off pole position here in Monaco demonstrates more progress for us. Max has looked competitive all weekend so far and put in everything he could today. With Daniel we opted to do a one lap run with him at the end. Perhaps a build push would have been better, but it was very, very marginal to which was the preferred strategy, but hopefully we are in a position to capitalise on those grid positions in tomorrow's grand prix."

Kimi Raikkonen (1st, 1:12.178):

Sebastian Vettel (2nd, 1:12.221):

Maurizio Arrivabene, Team Principal:

Force India-Mercedes

Sergio Perez (7th, 1:13.329): "I'm very happy with our result today. I think we got the maximum we could from the session. Every lap in qualifying is crucial here and you need to be on the pace from your first lap to get a good result. We made the right calls to avoid the traffic and we found the rhythm straight away, which is why I only had to complete one run in Q1. I am very proud of what we achieved as a team but it's a shame Esteban couldn't be in Q3 with me. Everything can happen in Monaco so I am not going to make any predictions for tomorrow. The race will be long and you cannot have any lapse in concentration - any mistake here means you can get a puncture or crash out of the race, so we need to focus on the job and try to bring home another good result."

Esteban Ocon (16th, 1:14.101): "I'm feeling disappointed because we had a quick car today and the pace to make Q3 - just as Sergio did. But that's what happens when you crash before qualifying. The team did a great job to repair my car and both sides of the garage helped get me out in time for Q1 - it shows our great team spirit and I have to say a big thank you to everybody. However, after an accident the car never feels quite the same and you lose the feeling you had. I had to adjust quickly and I couldn't find the pace we showed in practice. Considering the circumstances, P16 was the maximum. Going into the race I still believe we can fight for points. Anything can happen here and it's a long race."

Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: "Grid position is always vital in Monaco and seeing Sergio up in P7 means we are well placed to score points tomorrow. The team worked hard yesterday to improve the car and the changes ahead of final practice certainly paid off. It was a tough day for Esteban with the crash in final practice, but the crew did a fantastic job to get the car repaired and out in time for qualifying. It was always going to be difficult for Esteban to jump back in the car and be totally comfortable so we didn't maximise our potential today. It's a long race tomorrow and both drivers love this track so we will be aiming to get both cars home in the points once again."

Felipe Massa (15th, 1:20.529): "It was a very tough qualifying, like it usually is in Monaco. It's definitely not a great feeling to have qualified 15th and it's a shame that we're struggling here with a different car and different rules. It's disappointing that we're starting near the back, but anything can happen here in Monaco. So I hope we can have a good race and maybe have a little bit of luck tomorrow."

Lance Stroll (18th, 1:14.893): "We had a hydraulic leak at the end of Q1 so I had to stop early. Despite that, I am really enjoying driving this weekend. It is challenging, but it is great to be driving here as Monaco is very special. It is just a shame what happened with the car, as I missed out on the fast lap and I think I could have made it to Q2. Our car is not the strongest here and it is not our type of circuit, but hopefully tomorrow will be a good day."

Paddy Lowe, Chief Technical Officer: "The car is not where it should be at this type of circuit and that's something that we'll have to develop for the future. On top of that, we have to apologise to Lance who had a hydraulic leak during Q1 putting him out of the running. Felipe was lined up for two runs in Q2 but, he made a mistake on his first run and his second run was cut short by the yellow flag of Stoffel, so we didn't put a time on the board for Q2. For tomorrow, we'll do our best from where we are. Of course, the Monaco Grand Prix is always full of excitement and incidents so Felipe and Lance will need to make the best of that to try and get some points for the team. Finally, congratulations to Kimi Raikkonen for a fantastic pole position today."

Jenson Button (9th, 1:13.613): "It was a lot of fun out there. Practice was fine, but in qualifying you reach a point where you really need to fine-tune the car's performance, and that's still a bit of a learning curve for me. This year's tyres are completely different to last year's in terms of how they work; how they fade away; how they last. It's been tricky trying to find those last few per cent. But I'm happy - in my one and only race this year I qualify ninth... and start 20th! I never expected to have this opportunity, so this is a great memory for me: driving around Monaco in these monsters, such great machines. I'm very lucky. I'll take that ninth position home with me at the end of the weekend - I should be chuffed to bits with that."

Stoffel Vandoorne (10th, No Time): "This is a positive day. It's my first time in Q3 - but I really should have been out on track for that last session. Sadly, I didn't make it! We came here expecting to be more competitive, and we definitely showed that we've made a step this weekend. For every session, we've been able to run inside the top 10, and I felt very calm and confident in the cockpit. It's a shame my qualifying session ended with a little crash - but that's what sometimes happens when you're pushing hard on the limit around this place. I think it's really starting to come together for me with the team; tomorrow, I just want to get out there and have some fun."

Eric Boullier, Racing Director: "We have to take away the positives from today's qualifying session: we performed extremely well, delivering to our expectations; we got both cars into Q3 for the first time this season; and, if all things had been equal, we'd be looking at a chance to score some strong points with both cars tomorrow. In fact, I still wouldn't rule out that possibility. Due to grid penalties, we may be starting from 12th (Stoff) and 20th (Jenson), but we know that anything can happen around these streets. More assuringly, we know that our car is both quick and extremely driveable - the latter quality being one that will really reward the drivers around 78 laps of this tight and tortuous circuit tomorrow. So, all is most certainly not lost. We'll be pushing in the race, we'll take a few risks, fight hard and see whether the Monte-Carlo casino brings us some good fortune tomorrow."

Yusuke Hasegawa, Honda: "Qualifying was a positive step forward for us today with both cars going through into Q3. Having said that, it is of course disappointing that we have penalties for the race start tomorrow so both drivers drop down the grid. Stoffel drove exceptionally well today, with good pace to reach Q3 for the first time in his Formula 1 career. Unfortunately, he hit the barriers at the end of Q2, but we know that can sometimes happen around such a tight track when you're pushing hard. The team will work hard tonight to fix the car, and starting the race from P12, we're hopeful that he'll be able to fight for some points. Jenson's pace has been encouraging all weekend, and he kept his motivation high during qualifying despite having a 15-grid place penalty for power unit element changes. It must have been hard for him to qualify in such a condition especially here in Monaco, but he showed his professionalism today. Although there's not much time until the race, we still have a lot to do this evening. We'll continue our efforts analysing the data collected in order to improve further for tomorrow."

Scuderia Toro Rosso-Renault

Carlos Sainz (6th, 1:13.162): "Wow. Just WOW! I feel so good, what a lap! This is definitely the most enjoyable lap in qualifying of the whole season - the one where you're on the limit the most, the one that gives you the biggest adrenaline rush, the highest heart beat... And to qualify P6 at such a track is just an amazing result! It's something that we absolutely deserve after a very complete weekend, building it up until this afternoon's qualifying. I must say that in Q1 I was a bit surprised with the pace of the midfield, as they all suddenly caught us up and we therefore had to start putting in fast laps from the very start - something I don't like to do here in Monaco, I prefer to build it up little by little. Then in Q3, I was able to put the best lap of the weekend together and I'm a very happy man! I can still feel the adrenaline! Regarding tomorrow, I'm confident we can have a good race - we are fast in both long and short runs so we just need to make sure we get everything right at the start, lead the midfield and try and attack when possible! I will enjoy a good dinner tonight!"

Daniil Kvyat (11th, 1:13.516): "I was unlucky with the crash that happened during the final moments of Q2, how frustrating! We've looked very promising all weekend, so it was a shame to miss out on Q3. I think we could've got through if the session hadn't been yellow-flagged. However, realising that I will start tomorrow's race from P9 because other drivers have been penalised makes the chances of finishing in the points even higher. I know it's a different circuit, but in Barcelona I started last and finished in the top ten, so we're not in such a bad situation here! There's no point being upset, we just need to keep our heads down and work hard tonight to prepare the race well. Tomorrow we will try to go forward and hopefully fight for good points - anything can happen here in Monaco!"

James Key, Technical Director: "So far, we've been quite happy with the weekend. In this morning's FP3 we continued a little bit with the trend of what we saw on Thursday with setup and car balance, as well as investigating a few alternatives. We ended up in a situation where it was really all about fine-tuning, as there was nothing fundamental to fix. We knew the track conditions were going to make the balance of the car a little bit more difficult in the afternoon, so that was something to try and predict. Regarding this afternoon's qualifying, I have to say we have mixed feelings - our heart goes out to Daniil a little bit; he's been flying all weekend and he thoroughly deserved a Q3 place, but he had pretty much everything thrown against him during a very intense and difficult qualifying with the traffic and the requirements of the tyres with multiple laps. He got called to the scales, got blocked a couple of times in Sector 3, which lost him otherwise good lap times and then he caught the yellow flag at the end of the session on his final run... Therefore, he wasn't able to get his lap time in and it's a real shame - he missed out on a definite Q3 position. We will now try our best to make it up to him in tomorrow's race as best we can. On the flip side, Carlos is exactly where we needed to be - he executed Q3 very well and made a good call on the approach with each run. P6 was just about as far as we could get today I think, even though we're not that far behind the car in P5. He put a good lap together at the end and controlled it extremely well - a great job from him in difficult conditions. Now it is heads down in preparation for tomorrow's race."

Romain Grosjean (8th, 1:13.349): "It was a pretty good qualifying session. The car was quite unpredictable, but that was the tires. They went from working to not working, front and rear. The car was changing every lap. I was struggling with that as I like to have a car balance I understand, but eventually in Q1 I managed to get a decent enough lap in and pulled through. In Q2, I had a really good lap, the tires worked, then in Q3 not quite so good with the rear tires. Anyway, we're here in the top-10 and that's what we wanted. It's a great place to start the race."

Kevin Magnussen (13th, 1:13.959): "I just didn't get a free lap there in Q2. I had traffic on my out lap, first lap, second lap then my fourth lap. So I didn't really get any laps, and that's not the way to move forward, but traffic's the thing around here - very typical Monaco. To have just one lap in Q1 and Q2 free from traffic is very unlucky. It's annoying and frustrating as I was very happy with the car. We had the pace to do well. We could've been in Q3. Again, looking at other people who had misfortune as well, it could've been a good result, but that's how it is. Hopefully, we can make it up in the race."

Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "A good day today. Starting Monte Carlo in eighth and 11th, everything is possible. The whole weekend for us coming up into qualifying was good. Everybody's done a fantastic job, not only the drivers but also the mechanics and engineers. We were well prepared for qualifying. The only unfortunate thing was Kevin found a lot of traffic out there. He could never do his best, which would've been Q3 for him as well. Hey, that's Monaco. We know it's difficult, so some you win and some you lose. Tomorrow we're out there trying to get them both in the top-10."

Nico Hulkenberg (12th, 1:13.628): "I think that was the best we could have got from the car today. We've been struggling all weekend long with a lack of lack grip and balance which reflected on Thursday's times. We managed to improve the car and I'm really happy with my laps. Tomorrow's likely to be a tough day in the office. You have to stay sharp and on your toes as Monaco can always hold some surprises and you always have to be ready to pick them up in case there are some so we are prepared as normal and try and have a good race."

Jolyon Palmer (17th, 1:14.696): "I felt quite happy with the car today; even though we haven't looked too competitive, I've always been nip and tuck with Nico through the weekend. I'm disappointed with my qualifying position, but I don't think that's a true reflection of what we can do. I just kissed the wall on my first set of tyres, which gave me a puncture on the rear left. It was all to do on my final lap, but that time wasn't good enough for Q2. The cars are pretty wide and the track is pretty narrow so it's going to be a challenge tomorrow. Anything can happen in Monaco, so let's see what we can do."

Alan Permane, Sporting Director: "We've definitely made a positive gain... We weren't too happy with our ultimate qualifying pace relative to the opposition, however relative to Thursday's running we've definitely made a positive gain. We've engineered a very good recovery in terms of set-up to mean we're far better placed for tomorrow's race than we would have been otherwise. Nico starts in the top ten thanks to penalties for two cars which qualified ahead of him, so a finish solidly in the points is certainly the target. All the standard Monaco cliches apply: it's going to be difficult to overtake, tyre degradation will be low so one stop will be the norm and there's a strong chance of a number of safety cars. Our job is to keep out of trouble and see the chequered flag. A good start, some positions during the race and a sensible race could see a decent result."

Pascal Wehrlein (19th, 1:15.159): "The weekend continues to be difficult here on the street track in Monaco. Since Thursday we have tried to increase the grip level in order to improve our performance. We have changed a lot on the set-up side of the car, but we have not found the right one yet. Starting the race from P19 in Monaco is not ideal, but I will of course do my best."

Marcus Ericsson (20th, 1:15.276): "It has been tough since the practice sessions on Thursday. I have been struggling to get the confidence in the car. We have tried many different set-up directions, but it doesn't seem to work for us here. In qualifying I was pushing to the maximum, so on my last lap I went a bit too close to the wall in turn 10. I touched the barriers with my left rear, which was enough to damage the rim. The puncture forced me to stop the car. Tomorrow we will do our best to fight back."

three pairs of lovers with space

From the first and second chapters of Same-Sex Affairs: Constructing and Controlling Homosexuality in the Pacific Northwest by Peter Boag (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003).

Early-twentieth-century studies and anecdotal evidence confirm that homosexual activities were common in and around logging districts on the North Pacific coast. A 1914 investigation of a northern California camp determined that “sex perversion within the entire group is as developed and recognized as the well known similar practices in prisons and reformatories.” Various regional sources attest that, as in the case of Ted Gladden, same-sex relationships in logging and milling areas often paired an adult with a youth or even a boy (figure 2). For example, Ernest Seavy, a thirty-three-year-old lumber mill worker originally from Wisconsin but working in Whatcom County, Washington, landed in prison in 1911 on charges of sodomizing an eleven-year-old boy. According to legal documents, this was only one of a series of such affairs that Seavy had engaged in. Similarly, in 1919 in the forested district east of Portland, the forty-three-year-old logger Charles Brown hired teenage boys to help him clear land and then “after a few days would insist that they have sodomist relations with him.” In mining camps and in bustling seaports as well, the typical scenario was an adult having sex with a youth. In 1916, witnesses “caught in the act” a forty-one-year-old Oregon miner with a fourteen-year-old youth. In Victoria in 1907, a forty-five-year-old Scottish seaman faced charges of gross indecency with a thirteen-year-old whom records described as “incorrigible”; the boy previously had affairs with several other men in the port.

My Best Friend by John George Brown

Observers were in no more agreement about the sexualities that one could find on the road than about the number of peripatetic laborers involved in same-sex acts. Josiah Flynt and Nels Anderson, the two most prominent and prolific turn-of-the-century investigators of transient men, maintained that the migrants who had relations with each other could be divided into three categories. One consisted of transients who temporarily substituted males for females simply because the latter were scarce, although Flynt believed that few such individuals existed. In another grouping, Flynt included “sexual inverts.” Anderson proposed a third category, “congenital” homosexuals. Moreover, Flynt and Anderson were not always precise about whom they would include in or exclude from these groups. This uncertainly in part reflected the tremendous changes that notions about sexuality were undergoing when Anderson and Flynt were making their judgments. It also arose because the men Flynt and Anderson studied in fact harbored an assortment of desires.

At the beginning of the jocker-punk relationship, the younger male was commonly in the middle of adolescence. The adult male, if we take at face value contemporary reports, preferred sexual relations with teenage boys to those with men. Observers of the time believed that men who might under other social circumstances be attracted to females found that boys became desirable because they lacked certain masculine characteristics of older males. Apparently the “maleness” of the adult and the “femaleness” of the boy played such a critical role in some of these relationships that the former called the latter by feminine names or endearments. Nels Anderson asserted that jockers might sometimes dub their boys “Mabel,” “Dollie,” “Susan,” “sweetie,” or “the old lady,” and even apply the prefix “Miss” to their names. Donald Roy discovered one inhabitant of Seattle’s 1930s Hooverville who referred to a youthful sex partner as his “wife.”

In studying working-class statutory rape “victims” and “criminals” in 1910s California, Mary Odem has found that about three-quarters of the teenage girls in these sexual encounters described themselves as willing partners. Many actually encouraged their unions with older men. And like youths in relationships with men, teenage working-class girls entered into these sexual relationships for a wide variety of reasons, including economic rewards, romance, love, and sexual pleasure. Like Odem’s female subjects, youths benefited from their relationships with jockers. Boys received much needed advice and information about life on the road. They also gained warmth and compassion—something particularly needed, as a broken home was the leading cause of boys’ transience. Additionally, observers remarked that jockers guarded their punks jealously. Traveling alone, without a jocker’s protection, could be far more dangerous for a boy. For example, while in company with eight hoboes on a slowly moving train, Flynt witnessed a young lad scramble into the freight car, where he was then “tripped up and ‘seduced’ each of the tramps.”

Although some of these examples bespeak child molestation and an unwillingness on the part of boys to engage in some sexual relations with men, many youths sought out men for sexual pleasure. Flynt reported that some of the punks he encountered in the 1890s told him that “they get as much pleasure out of the affair as the jocker does....[L]ittle fellows under ten...describe it as a delightful tickling sensation in the parts involved....Those who have passed the age of puberty seem to be satisfied pretty much the same way that the men are.” Alfred Kinsey’s research for roughly the same period corroborates Flynt’s observations. The sexologist found that homosexual play was an essential part of boy culture and that the children of the lower levels of American society were the least restrained, usually becoming involved in such activities at an early age.

Flynt even encountered punks whom he described as “willfully tempt[ing] their jockers to intercourse.” The motive of some was undoubtedly their own sexual satisfaction; of others, more basic needs of daily survival; and of yet others, a complex blend of the two. In the transient-labor world, compliant boys could make money and receive food, clothing, and shelter. Donald Roy, a university student at the time he surveyed Seattle’s Hooverville, was offered “chickens, pork chops, oranges” as well as money, a job, and “a happy home life” if he would submit to the passions of the men who propositioned him. Nels Anderson noted that boys often became sexually active in their relationships on the road and “even commercialize[d] themselves.” Such was the case of a boy who, on the outskirts of the western railroad town of Ogden, Utah, in 1921, promised transient men that “he would ‘do business’ with anyone in the crowd for fifty cents.” The young entrepreneur furthermore claimed this as “his method of ‘getting by,’” rendering other work unnecessary. Many boys on the road probably found that having sex with men enabled them to make the best of an unfortunate situation. For example, legal documents describe how while riding on a boxcar through Kennewick, Washington, in 1911, Charles Smith “was practically caught in the act” of committing sodomy on a sixteen-year-old youth “with the consent of the boy, for the price of a meal.”

Historical evidence and past studies of sexual practices demonstrate that the jocker-punk relationship was not necessarily one-sided. The adolescent boy could and often did have his own emotional and sexual as well as economic reasons for forming relationships with men. Such evidence also supports Nels Anderson’s theory that in the jocker-punk relationship, force might not have been “so extensively employed as sometimes believed.”

Street Urchin by John George Brown

A variety of factors beyond the sexual affected the adult-adolescent male relationships so prevalent in the transient world of the Northwest. The youthfulness of the punk proved imperative for certain domestic and economic aspects of the partnership to operate smoothly. The emotional rewards of the teacher-apprentice relationship or even basic warmth and compassion could also be gained by both jocker and punk. Such relationships provided safety and protection as well, giving boys themselves significant reasons unrelated to sex to submit to or even initiate these alliances. While the jocker might expect the boy to play a specific sexual role, the punk’s background and sexual desires also seem to have shaped the sexuality of the adult. Such considerations help distinguish the punk from the urban fairy. The punk thus adds a significant dimension to our understanding of past working-class sexualities. ...

The same-sex sexual dangers that amusement parks and movie theaters posed to local youth confounded local officials in the Northwest. In the early 1910s Portland’s Juvenile Court Judge William Gatens despaired over a ten-year-old “truant” who met a man at a theater, accompanied him to his room for money, and subsequently engaged in sex with him on nine or ten occasions before authorities found out. In another case, a man approached a fifteen-year-old in front of a movie house, “talked to him awhile, took him to a theater, and later to his room.” And in still another incident, “men” picked up two boys “at an amusement park . . . and later accompanied them to moving picture shows, the city park, and other places. The men gave them money. Things [i]nconceivably vile followed.” In Seattle, the social worker Lilburn Merrill condemned five youths who regularly had sex with men and “voluntarily frequented low-grade amusement resorts and the water front to solicit men with whom they consorted for financial consideration.”

Intent on issues of morality, early-twentieth-century Portland authorities and reformers regularly patrolled the working-class North End. As a result of this surveillance we know that male-male sexual activities commonly occurred there. Because authorities and reformers concentrated on the “imperiled” youth in the North End, documents pertaining to adult-juvenile male relations are the most abundant. Boys who had sex with men were common in other North American cities at the time. Typically, they maintained their relationships in working-class neighborhoods. Yet it should be stressed that in the cities of the Pacific Northwest, a preponderance of intergenerational same-sex relationships had links to the sexual culture of migratory workers. It is impossible to say just how many boys in Northwest urban centers who had sex with men were also transients themselves. Some seem to have had no direct links to life on the road, born and sometimes living with their families in the city where they were sexually active. For example, sixteen-year-old Dan Davis was one of the youths who hung about the Monte Carlo. Police arrested him at his mother’s home, located on Portland’s lower-middle-class eastside. In Seattle, Lilburn Merrill found that “Case H,” a nine-year-old boy, “was involved with vagrant men,” but resided with his mother in the city. [...]

Working-class adult-juvenile sexual contacts in “vice” districts of the Northwest had important links to the jocker-punk relationship. They were especially influenced by the transmutation of this relationship when it entered the city. Once in the urban setting, economic considerations typically led jockers to end their partnerships with boys. “Whereas, out of town the pair can travel as companions aiding each other,” Nels Anderson noted, “in the city they can get along better alone. It is difficult for partners to remain together long in the city, especially if one has money and the other none....Living in a metropolis is a problem the tramp can solve better alone.” Indeed, migratory laborers found economic opportunities particularly limited in Northwest urban areas. Unlike the industrial cities of the East and Midwest, Portland had few year-round jobs in manufacturing; its economy relied principally on commerce, which in itself fluctuated with the seasons. Thus when casual laborers looked to Portland, and even Seattle and Vancouver, as seasonal havens, they hoped that with their last paycheck in hand, these city’s inexpensive lodgings, meals, and amusements would sustain them until the work season started up again in the spring. They likely found it difficult in this atmosphere to maintain their on-the-road relationships, and had less desire to do so. In these circumstances, according to Anderson, the punks became “promiscuous in their relations and many of them even commercialize themselves” when in the city. Indeed, the punk, now on his own, had good reason to turn to sex work for survival. Still, not all jocker-punk alliances foundered in the city. Even Nels Anderson reported that in the urban setting transient men and youths sometimes sustained longer relationships. An example from Portland supports this claim. In April 1917, authorities arrested the Italian immigrant and transient worker Tony Lagallo at the St. Helens Hotel on Second Street. They charged him with attempting to commit sodomy on Albert Ambrose, an eleven-year-old boy. Reportedly the two had maintained a relationship in the city for “nearly a year.” ...

To be sure, not all boys in cities who willingly had sex with transient men did so for financial gain. Others sought men out for all the emotional and sexual reasons that pertained when they were on the road, as set forth in the previous chapter. But urban legal records tend to concentrate on the more mundane considerations of the adult-juvenile male sex exchange. For example, in Spokane in early 1912, a twelve-year-old newsboy became sexually involved with a forty-six-year-old Norwegian-born laborer in exchange for a trip to the theater and a meal at a restaurant.

That many boys received admission to the show, or a meal at a restaurant, or even clothing in return for sex with their patrons suggests a certain parallel to the “charity girls” or female “chippies” of the early twentieth-century American city who, in the words of the historian Kathy Peiss, traded “sexual favors of varying degrees for male attention, gifts, and a good time.”

Greek Liquid Gold logo

Greek Liquid Gold: Authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil provides information and news about Greek extra virgin olive oil, its quality, health benefits, producers, bottlers, and exporters, the places where it is made, and other facets of the Greek olive oil world.

Greek Liquid Gold was created by Dr. Lisa Radinovsky. She manages its writing, editing, photography, and correspondence, as well as providing advertising and English-language editing services to Greek olive oil companies that request them.

Radinovsky earned her BA in English at Princeton University and her PhD in English at Duke University in the USA, also taking classes in the sciences, design, and photography. Beginning to write about (and photograph) the Greek olive oil world for Olive Oil Times starting in March 2015, she was dismayed by the lack of up to date online English-language news on the subject. Determined to educate herself in order to provide that news, she learned a great deal from Greek olive oil producers, consumers, exporters, judges, and other olive oil industry members, as well as written sources in Greek and English.

A former English and composition professor accustomed to sharing her knowledge, Radinovsky set up the Greek Liquid Gold Facebook page in February 2016 to convey more of that information to a wider audience. An experienced writer, editor, and photographer who has also written for Greece Is, Lancaster Online, Seabourn Cruise Magazine, and various academic publications as well as editing the English on Exploring Greece, she is now prepared to provide readers with more olive oil news and information. (For a more personal account of how a former English professor from Pennsylvania started a new life in Crete dedicated to Greece’s liquid gold, see An American’s Love Affair with Greek Olive Oil on Greece Is.)

A plaque with a stylized olive tree and text about the award for the Greek Liquid Gold website

Greek Liquid Gold was developed by TWIN NET Information Systems Ltd in Athens, who will also provide ongoing technical support and hosting. TWIN NET is the creator of Exploring Greece, an ambitious online work in progress that provides vast amounts of detailed information and photos for tourists visiting selected parts of Greece.

The Association of Cretan Olive Municipalities (Σύνδεσμος Ελαιοκομικών Δήμων Κρήτης, ΣΕΔΗΚ) awarded the Greek Liquid Gold website a Green Minoan Olive Tree award for its contribution to the promotion of the culture of the olive and the health value of Cretan olive oil. (Of course, Greek Liquid Gold also shares news and information about bottled and branded extra virgin olive oil from all over Greece, as well as agrotourism and food tourism destinations throughout the country, and seeks to expand coverage in all regions.)

Olive trees, sea, and sky in eastern Crete

The Greek Liquid Gold: Authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil website has been sharing news, information, stories, recipes, and photos from the Greek olive oil world for two years. Created by an American living in Crete, the only wide-ranging, independent English-language site about Greek olive oil spotlights the high quality and health benefits of this liquid gold.

Olive trees in a valley, the sea, island of Monemvasia

The world’s first independent English-language website about Greek olive oil celebrated its birthday in August 2017. It features the stories of a Greek ship captain turned olive farmer, an Italian computer programmer producing olive oil in Greece, an ancient Greek teacher selling olive oil with edible gold flakes, and many other Greeks in the olive oil world.

A New Website Focused on Greek Liquid Gold

Welcome to Greek Liquid Gold: Authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil! This independent, unofficially non-profit website is designed to provide more up-to-date information about Greek extra virgin olive oil than English speakers have ever found on one site. Here, you will learn why many Greeks borrow a phrase from the epic poet Homer, “liquid gold,” to describe the precious juice of the olive fruit.

What I learned in Atlantic Canada Last Week.

We brought a team (myself, Robert Piaskowski – STAK’s Government Program Director, and  Precor’s Todd Allison) to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to support the Grand Opening and launch of Everything Fitness as the preferred commercial fitness resource for Atlantic Canada.

We learned some pretty valuable lessons in 3 days, I thought you may enjoy 15 of them.

1.  There are not many places as beautiful as Atlantic Canada on clear, sunny days.

2.  The people of Atlantic Canada are as hospitable as you will ever find ( I knew that before last week, but it is always amazing to experience it).

3.  Fitness offerings in Atlantic Canada are going through a time of change, like in all other regions of Canada (and the world for that matter).

4.  Doug Wigg can really belt out a tune.

5.  Allison Athletic (Todd’s first company) started in Dartmouth in the early 80’s , and his two children were born there.

6.  Getting family and friends involved in a business event can work – thanks to Doug Wigg and his team of supporters.   The team Doug has assembled is spectacular and focused on providing a positive experience for the people they serve.

7.  I had never had lobster like we experienced at  Fans  Restaurant. If you are ever in Dartmouth, try the Lobster – North Chinese style- absolutely to die for!  http://www.fansrestaurant.com)

8.  There is a transit strike in Halifax region. Not that we were taking the bus, but the picket line was across the street from the hotel we stayed at.

9.  Fitness leaders  are ready for solutions and strategies to help better serve those in need of fitness services.

10.  To truly serve the fitness community, a company must have a local presence to get people’s attention.

11.  Robert Piaskowski can pack more into a carry on than any other person I have ever seen.

12.  There is no quota on laughter in Nova Scotia!

13.  Authenticity is not just a term from the latest business journal. Seeing the way Doug and his team treat people is the very definition of the word.

14.  Kel’s Deli makes a great sandwich!

15.  The region of Halifax/Dartmouth feels like home!

Thanks To Doug, Steve,  Sherri, Ron and the entire Everything Fitness team.

A 3 day event that was exceptional!

In the next few days I will share some of the top fitness business observations we shared with the group.

**All answers not based on experience, but based on what I have read here and what vets have told me**

1. I think you are recallling correctly: 3 doses, 10 days apart.

2. "Top ups" make sense, but I think (think, not know) it depends on the response of the individual pig to the treatment.

3. Not sure but think the answer would be yes. Check with your vet.

Just a little up date on my girlie. Rosie had her first injection last Monday and is so far doing fine. We haven't had her near the other girls yet to "test" her but she's still the same happy fuzz butt she always is in her bachelorette pad.

We had to wait quite a while for the vets to get the meds in stock, and Rosie squealed like a pig when she got the injection :/ I felt terrible. Amazingly as always she refrained from pooping on the vet and held her pee in right until she got home and back in her pen.

She gets her next injection on Thursday next week. Thanks again for all the advice so far :)

" ... Rosie squealed like a pig when she got the injection ..."

It's a horrible sound, isn't it? :-(

Guinea pig skin is tough stuff. Think about trying to inject something into a football. The vets have to stick them really hard, but once stuck, they're generally fine.

Cats (and humans) have softer skin and are easier to stick, but it hurts longer afterward. (Or so I'm told.)

Post   » Fri Oct 12, 2007 7:41 am

Thank you Talishan, that made me feel a lot better that it might not hurt so much after :) She did seem to forgive us pretty quick.

Rosie got her second injection last night, and it went a lot better I think. As soon as it was done and she was back in the box she was so happy, she knew that was everything and she was going home!

We're going to try introductions this week and see if she will go back in the big pen so we can monitor her behaviour better. Living by herself it is hard to see how much the injections have helped but she definitely seems a lot happier these days.

That's so cool. I'd love it if she could be back with her buddies.

Hi there! Have been preoccupied with kitchen upheavals, and haven't been online much atall - but have been wondering how Rosie is gettig on. Things are sounding positive! I am really glad too that you are going with the injections (incidently, Mary didn't even seem to notice her second injection). I will be watching closely to see how she gets on (and have everything crossed for successful reintroductions!)

What're the doses your vet is giving? I know checking with Thistle, that the recommended dosings are two, 10 days apart, and then a third 40 days later. That's where I made a big mistake with Mary in the summer - I thought it was 40 days, then 10 - so went off on holiday! (she is still doing fine though despite her twittish owner).

All the best,

You are not twittish!! :-) But glad to hear Rosie (and Mary) are doing well.

User avatar

Post   » Fri Oct 12, 2007 7:47 pm

Her second injection was 10 days after the first and we're going to keep an eye on her the coming week to see if there is any sign of improvement. If we feel she needs another dose then we'll take her back - I wasn't aware the third was supposed to be 40 days later though.

I'll get the bloke to phone the TC vet and double check what he said we were to do - thanks for the heads up on how long to wait! If that vet tells us to go for the third injection then we'll tell the local vets to give us it at the correct time. Having all these vets can get a bit confusing!

Has Mary had all her injections successfully now? I was glad to read she was doing so well.

And you're definitely not twittish... especially if you post more pics of your girlies I can coo over ;)

Following on from above, Rosie improved dramatically with her two injections and was able to rejoin the herd and be as happy as ever.

The last couple of weeks Rosie started rumbling again and immediately we made an appointment to see the same vet that Thistle Cavies use again. In the meantime Rosie had a bath that stopped her rumbling but we still knew we had to check her out.

The vet could hardly feel her right ovary but her left ovary is again enlarged - I think the vet said there was a pea to bean sized bump on her ovary though my boyfriend is sure he said the ovary felt pea to bean sized... either way the plan of action is the same and we decided not to put her through the stress of coming back for an ultrasound as the vet was so thorough with the physical examination (the ultrasound machine was at another practise at the time).

Tomorrow the bloke will phone our local vets and schedule another two hormone injections. Does anyone think it would be wise to get three done this time? I'd appreciate any insight on that.

We plan to stick with hormones anyway if this problem does reoccur - for those who treat their pigs with hormones, how often do you find you have to do so? I'm perfectly happy to do it as often as needed as long as Rosie is a happy piggie.

No advice on using this drug, just hoping that it works for her.

" ... how often do you find you have to do so?"

I think it varies greatly, by pig. But I have no direct experience, so hopefully those that do will confirm or deny.

Thank you, it would certainly be good to know.

I forgot to mention as well that on top of everything else Rosie has decided to model a greasy butt this season - argh! Well I was planning on buying some coconut oil anyway for myself and in the meantime I have some vitamin E oil. Fantastic to have it on my pig with everything else wrong and the one who screams in the bath, sigh.

Post   » Tue Feb 05, 2008 7:54 am

Rosie's gummy butt was a lot worse than I anticipated but the vitamin E oil got it all out. I feel bad I didn't notice how much there was before, it looked like only a small amount on her coat but when I got in there it just went deeper and deeper and bigger and bigger :/

She had her first hormone injection yesterday. She bent the first needle - must be a super pig :)

The vet visit really tired her out but she seems fine again now, still demanding her pettings if you so much as look in the piggie room.

Post   » Sat Mar 15, 2008 12:00 pm

Rosie had her second round of injections back in February but when she went into her next heat it just didn't stop and she is rumbling about again. I'm going to bathe her today and see if that helps (and clean her gummy butt again) but otherwise I'm guessing more injections? I wonder if doing three injections in a course instead of two would be beneficial?

On top of all that Rosie also now has a lump on her bum. It's between her bits and her grease gland but over to the left side if you are facing her rear end. It's about the size of, I think a large pea. It's quite spherical and hard, just under the skin, nothing on the skin is out of the ordinary, no sores or hair out of place, and when I fiddle with it she's not concerned at all.

Brie is back on Monday for her second hormone injection so I'll take Rosie along for an exam and a biopsy. I trust the local vets to do that at least as it isn't such a species specific problem.

Any ideas on what it is most likely to be?

I just can't catch a break right now with my girls :/

Edit: also does anyone know of any GL users that have experience with hormone injections? I'd like to drop them a line and see if they have any pigs that get injections regularly.

Given the location it's likely to be a cyst. If so, you should have your vet lance and squeeze it. Generally they just go away with that treatment, but they can return.

Keep on with the ivermectin treatments.

Sorry, it's hCG injections. Okay, I'll say to the vet we think it's a cyst - I'll ask for the vet that was so good with Gracie's eye I think.

Thanks Mum!

Trick, a heads-up from Wendi on the third HCG injection. This should be given 21 days after the second one, not 40 days.

Why should you do something if you can only do a little?

So many of the problems we face seem insurmountable. People become convinced that the choices they make and the actions that they can take as individuals won’t have any meaningful impact. I don’t believe that that is true for any of the world’s problems that we face and I can prove that is not true for shelter animals or homeless youth.

Let’s assume that you have your own family, a job, a home to take care of and feel that you do not have any extra time to volunteer in an animal shelter or take responsibility for the guidance of a homeless young person. With the limited time you have, is there still something you can give that would make an impact? You bet there is and here are some ideas to get you thinking.

For the animals, how about you try one of these

1.  Foster kittens. Kittens are short-term fosters, are easy to adopt out and most need a home for just a few weeks until they’re big enough to be spayed or neutered. You can work with a shelter or rescue that will take you take them from you and place them for adoption in a retail location and your job is done. Fosters directly and immediately save lives.

2.  If bringing kittens into your home is too much, how about doing a linen drive among your family and friends or at your workplace? You will directly impact the quality of life of an animal waiting in a shelter who would otherwise be sleeping on a tile floor or newspaper in a cage. It only takes one trip to drop them off and you’re done.

3.  You can be an advocate. Speak up to your friends who are considering going to a breeder or buying an animal on the Internet.  Tell them that they are unknowingly supporting keeping the parents of those puppies in cages with no access to the outdoors, no human contact and often without necessary vet care. Be nice, be firm, do your research and offer them options.

For at risk youth,

1. Can you become a remote mentor? Partner with a young person who needs guidance. Check in with each other by phone or email once or twice a week. You can help keep them on track and let them know that someone cares about what happens to them.

2. What about an evening of service with a few friends? Service is easier in pairs or groups. Do you know how to do anything that one of your parents taught you that you could pass on to a young person? A craft? How to cook a great dish for a crowd? Young people living in a shelter would love to spend an evening having a caring adult pass along some family wisdom. You pick the night. Everybody can give one evening.

3. Have a drive to collect professional clothing so that young people have something appropriate to wear for interviews. Strive for a variety of sizes with everything in good condition – something you would wear yourself. More than once, we have witnessed our young volunteers wearing shoes that are too big and pants that cover their feet because the shelter did not have a sufficient selection of interview appropriate clothes for them.

Do not let yourself sink into the belief that what you do does not make a difference. Remind yourself that, if everyone did just one thing, the world would be a happier and more comfortable place for everyone.

The Parallels Between Homeless Youth and Homeless Animals

Our original rationale for pairing homeless teenagers with shelter animals was our founder’s observation that many young people living on the streets and under bridges had pets with them. Witnessing the strength of that bond, there was obvious potential to reach these young people through their love of animals and, at the same time, help chronically understaffed animal shelters through bringing in these young people as volunteers.

But the bond goes beyond young people’s love of animals.  There is a kinship between the two groups that we continue to learn about every day. In doing our work over the past five years, we have grown to see many parallels between the life experiences of the young people and the homeless animals we serve; similarities in how they arrived at their current situation in life and in how that makes them feel.  The same collection of reasons that lead to youth homelessness also send millions of animals to shelters each year.  For example, some of the young people end up homeless having fled an abusive home, choosing the uncertainty of the streets over the known danger of home. Others arrive at the shelter after a lifetime of more “benign” neglect or after the adults responsible for their care have disappeared from their lives to jail, drugs, another family or the unknown. In other cases, their families didn’t abuse them but were just ill equipped to provide them with the support, financial and personal, that they needed.

In the case of animals, the reasons for homelessness run a similar spectrum. Many of their guardians reluctantly gave them up, having no choice because of an inability to obtain pet friendly housing (or housing at all) or inability to afford their care, particularly veterinary care which is beyond the means of a significant percentage of people.   In other cases, the animals were seized from cruel owners who abused them, fought them or worse. Others were actively neglected through their guardians’ failure to provide adequate food, shelter or medical care.  Indeed, most of the animals in shelters end up there through the kind of passive neglect that leaves so many kids out on their own before they are ready. The adults that were responsible for both the kids and the animals were not sufficiently committed to their care to stick it out when things got tough,

Because of our work connecting these two groups., we are privileged on a regular basis to see that “I am not alone” light bulb go off in a young person’s eyes when looking into the eyes of a homeless animal. Even if before that moment, they may have felt that they had little value and nothing to offer, they clearly don’t feel that way about the dog they are playing with and they often make the connection that their lives also have value and that they too can bring another living being happiness and companionship. And, that, my friends, is the essence of Hand2Paw.

A 2 for 1 Program Close to Hand2Paw’s Heart

For those of you who appreciate Hand2Paw’s mission of putting two problems together to create a solution for both, you may enjoy reading about this new program with similar goals. San Francisco has come up with a unique two for one solution to address both panhandling on the streets and increasing numbers of animals being turned into its shelters as a result of the recession.  With government backing,  WOOF, Wonderful Opportunities for Occupants and Fidos, will pair residents in supportive housing who agree not to panhandle with adolescent puppies from shelters who are in need of more socialization in order to be permanently adopted.  The program also provides participants with weekly payments for fostering the puppies along with training in both animal care and job skills.

“We think it will be absolutely magic to give these individuals and these dogs a second chance together,” says Mayor Ed Lee’s point person on homelessness.  We at Hand2Paw could not agree more!

An interdisciplinary resource for information, authorized developments, commentary, and scholarship about Title IX, the federal statute prohibiting discrimination on the idea of sex in federally funded schools. Many mother and father have given up any hope that their child can succeed with regards to public education. Title IX of the 1972 federal Education Amendments prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex in educational establishments that obtained federal assist.

For these of us who’ve been around these fights awhile, this quantity of assist for public education has been extremely encouraging. This weblog isn’t partisan; we don’t endorse candidates or let you know the right way to vote. I have given numerous interviews on special ed legislation, and I have been quoted in education publications.

Students can start their careers working as a Licensed Professionals Secretary (CPS), Certified Administrative Professional (CAP), and far more. The position of the Division of Education absolutely needs to be guaranteeing that the US Structure isn’t being breached in schools that receive federal funding.

As a reaction to Secretary Duncan’s overreach with No Little one Left Behind waivers, the Every Scholar Succeeds Act severely restricted the powers of the Secretary. It assists the president in executing his education policies for the nation and in implementing laws enacted by Congress.

Mr Richard Gill AO has been appointed the inaugural occupant of the Chair in Music Education at the Conservatorium Excessive School in Sydney. Being Secretary of Education is an amazing job that requires lots of experience and expertise. American education is a class system, public, non-public and elite boarding colleges.
