Christian and Fanny Reesor Family

Altona Mennonite Church, Markham Township, Ontario

The surname of Reesor is an old Mennonite name found in Markham Township, Ontario. It first appears in the area in the early 1800s. Family history relates that Christian Reesor was a son of Peter Risser and Elizabeth Hershey. A Mennonite minister, Peter fled with his family to Bavaria, in the hope of finding a safer place to live. Religious persecution continued and so they moved on to Switzerland in the hope of finding a happier place to live.

Here they learned of William Penn who was offering land in America to families who would go there to settle. In the New World, they could have the freedom to follow their religion. Christian and Elizabeth came from Berne, Switzerland to Pennsylvania, in 1739. Within a number of years, Peter’s four brothers also sailed for America.

The Reesor Family Begins Life in the New World

Arriving to the new world with Peter and Elizabeth, were their children, two-year-old Esther and infant son, John. Elizabeth’s parents, Christian and Esther Hershey came with the young couple as well. Peter was able to obtain a grant of land of 271 acres in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He soon had a clearing sufficient enough to build a house and a mill. It was not long before he began to prosper as both a farmer and a miller.

On 26 August 1747, eight years after they arrived, a son, Christian, was born at the family homestead in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was the second son in what became a family of ten children. His sisters would be Esther, Catherine, Elizabeth, Barbara and Magdalene. His brothers would include: John, Peter, Abraham and Jacob.

Married Life

As a young man, Christian married Fanny Reiff. In time they had a family of six children: Elizabeth, born 1774; Peter born 1775; Barbara, born 1777; John born 1784; Abraham, born 1790 and Christian born 1794.

In the years after the American Revolution, Christian and Fanny found that living as British subjects in the United States, was difficult. They belonged to a religion that did not permit its’ members to “take up arms”. Thus, Peter had not fought in the War of Independence. His peaceful ways did not make a difference. In time the stress of not feeling welcome in their home community led to Christian’s decision to move to Upper Canada.

It was in October of the year 1804, that Fanny and Christian left their home in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. They traveled  by Conestoga wagon the 500 miles to reach Upper Canada. Here they settled in Markham Township, in what was called the Home District. Their homestead was on Lot 14 Concession 10. (Today the area is part of York County, Ontario). The following year, Christian affirmed his Oath of Allegiance to the Crown of England and the family settled into pioneer life. Their new home was in Markham Township, nearby the future community of Locust Hill.

Family Struggles

Christian cleared his land and built a home. However, barely two years after the family settled on their homestead, disaster befell them. On 26 March 1806, while supervising the clearing of a wooded section of land, a tree fell upon Christian. He died almost immediately. His body was buried in the Reesor Cemetery, a small area on his own property that was set aside for a burial ground. His wife, Fanny (Reiff) Reesor died 10 October 1818. She too was buried in the pioneer Reesor Cemetery.

A New Generation

Elizabeth Reesor, daughter of Christian and Fanny, married Abraham Stouffer. He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 8 January 1780. Elizabeth and Abraham traveled with Christian and Fanny Reesor to Upper Canada in the year 1804. Abraham and Elizabeth lived in the area were the town of Stouffville, eventually grew into existence. Elizabeth died at their home on 7 April 1835. Abraham died 27 October 1851, at Stouffville.

It was Peter Reesor, eldest son of Christian and Fanny, who had first been sent to Upper Canada for the purpose of locating and choosing land upon which the family could settle. He returned to Pennsylvania to tell everyone about the good farmland available in the British colony to the north. The entire family decided to move to Upper Canada. They came as one large group.

Around 1800, Peter had married Esther Eby. They also came with his parents on the move to Upper Canada. In 1804, when they traveled here, Peter and Esther already had two small daughters and and infant son. Peter chose to make their home at Cedar Grove, on Lot 4 Concession 9 in Markham Township.

A Visit Back Home

In the summer of 1826, Esther returned to Pennsylvania for a visit with members of her family. Her eldest son, Christian, now a young man of twenty-two years, went along. On 27 September 1826, Esther and Christian died at Lewiston, New York. They had fallen victim to typhoid fever while on their return trip home. The remains of wife and son were brought home to Markham Township, there to be interred in Cedar Grove Cemetery.

Peter Reesor later married again, his second wife being Elizabeth Ramer. She was a daughter of Abraham and Magdalena (Grove) Ramer. Peter Reesor died 16 November 1854. His remains rest in Cedar Grove Cemetery. Elizabeth survived him.

John and Annie

John Reiff Reesor, second oldest son of Christian and Fanny, married Annie Grove. She was born 1784, in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. John was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in September 1784. They had a family of fifteen children, of which fourteen, reached adulthood.

Abraham, the eldest child, was born in 1811. Fanny, born 1813, became the wife of Daniel Hoover. Christian, born 1814, married Susan Burkholder. Elizabeth, born 1816, married John S. Hoover. Barbara, born 1818, married Martin Nighswander. John, born 1819, married Catherine Brown. Ann, born 1821, married John Raymer. Jacob, born 1823, married Elizabeth Nighswander. Peter, born 1826, married Susanna Nighswander. Esther, born 1828, married Samuel Hoover. Mary, born 1829, married Manasseh Fretz. Samuel, born 1831, married Elizabeth Honsberger. Magdalena, born 1834, married Michael Fretz. Benjamin, born 1837, married Sarah Cook.  Jesse, born 1840, married Elizabeth Lehman.  By 1851, only Magdalena, Samuel, Benjamin and Jesse were still living at home.

Annie (Grove) Reesor died in 1869. Her husband, John Reiff Reesor, outlived her by a few years, his death occurring 30 December 1874 in Markham Township.

Abraham and Anna

Abraham was the third son of Christian and Fanny (Reiff) Reesor. Abraham was born
28 June 1790 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He married the widow, Anna Miller, nee Detweiler. Abraham chose Lot 8 Concession 7 in Markham Township. This property was south of the village of Markham, which at the time was called Reesorville. They raised a family of six children as well as Anna’s two daughters from her first marriage. Abraham died 31 August 1831 in Markham Township, York County, Ontario.  Anna (Detweiler) Reesor died 10 November 1854.

Christian Married Twice

Christian was the youngest son of Christian Sr. and Fanny Reesor. He married twice, his first wife being Elizabeth Cornell. She was born in 1801 and died 12 May 1832. His second wife was Melissa Cornell, born in 1845 who died 17 February 1899. With Elizabeth, Christian had a family of four sons and two daughters. By his second wife, Melissa, he had three sons and two daughters.

Christian lived in Markham Township until his death in April 1877. Melissa continued to reside at their home until her death in February 1899.

A Long Presence in the County

Throughout the entire 1800s and on into the 1900s, the Reesor family name has long been  represented within York County, Ontario. In 1930, the family erected a memorial cairn to their Reesor ancestors. The stone memorial was put up with permission give by the Ontario government.

Datapulse Model 101 manual

MSP430 Delay-loop Morse code encoder

posted 2011-05-30 at 04:06:

I have put up a delay-loop based Morse code encoder using the ASCII-to-Morse encoding presented a few weeks ago. It takes a C string as input, and blinks the contents of that string on an LED in Morse code on your ez430 or Launchpad demo board.

Like many other examples on this site, while the example uses the MSP430 platform, the code can be ported to other architectures with minimal changes, and the concepts discussed in the example are general in nature.

MSP430 Morse Code encoding and a new Tip

posted 2011-04-24 at 21:42:

A new MSP430 page which isn't very MSP430-specific is up, detailing an encoding for mapping ASCII to Morse Code. This example isn't very useful by itself, but I'll be using it in some upcoming examples for a Morse Code LED beacon which will ultimately (I hope) turn into a flexible and powerful QRP beacon firmware.

In addition, a new tip has gone up on the MSP430 Tips & Tricks page, containing just enough information to get you started figuring out why your firmware image uses more RAM or FLASH than you think it should.

MSP430 Interrupt-driven Timer Example

posted 2011-04-09 at 00:41:

I just uploaded the first of many (hopefully!) embedded programming tutorials, a HOWTO for using a timer and interrupts to achieve low-power timings on an MSP430. This example uses either the internal low-power low-frequency oscillator or an external watch crystal to flash an LED one second on, one second off.

While this tutorial uses the MSP430 platform and the code examples are specific to the MSP430, the idea is powerful and has broad application. Modern microcontrollers are capable of significant power savings if the programmer can let them sleep when they're not doing useful work. You will notice a theme of interrupt-driven operation and no-op main loops in the examples on this site.

Race Discrimination

“Though the colored man is no longer subject to be bought and sold, he is still surrounded by an adverse sentiment which fetters all his movements. In his downward course he meets with no resistance, but his course upward is resented and resisted at every step of his progress. If he comes in ignorance, rags, and wretchedness, he conforms to the popular belief of his character, and in that character he is welcome. But if he shall come as a gentleman, a scholar, and a statesman, he is hailed as a contradiction to the national faith concerning his race, and his coming is resented as impudence. In the one case he may provoke contempt and derision, but in the other he is an affront to pride and provokes malice. Let him do what he will, there is at present, therefore, no escape for him. The color line meets him everywhere, and in a measure shuts him out from all respectable and profitable trades and callings.”

—-Frederick Douglass

It’s obvious to say that workplace discrimination happens when an employer mistreats an employee or job applicant because of that person’s race.  However, most employees go for a long time being mistreated simply because they don’t want to believe Supervisor Who Can Fire Me is a racist.  (particularly in a society that uses offensive language like “pulling the race card” to discourage good people from standing up for fair treatment)  But if you are feeling like you are being treated badly, and nothing really explains why it is happening, the idea that you are being discriminated against starts to become more of a reality.  The wrongdoer can be a boss, supervisor, manager, human resources representative, or coworker. You don’t have to think that the person who has mistreated you is the most evil person who has ever walked the earth; even people who present themselves as being fair-minded can make bad decisions.  It’s when those bad decisions have impacted on you that the decision maker, either Evil Incarnate Manager or Just Kinda Backwards Boss, need to answer for the damage they have caused.

So what is workplace discrimination?  Here are some examples of race discrimination by employers that we have seen with our clients or that have been reported in court cases:

  • Employers stating or suggesting preferred candidates in a job advertisement
  • Excluding potential employees during recruitment
  • Denying certain employees compensation or benefits
  • Paying equally-qualified employees in the same position different wages
  • Discriminating when assigning leave or retirement options
  • Denying the use of company facilities
  • Discriminating when issuing promotions or lay-offs
  • Allowing or creating a hostile work environment based on race, making the workplace a difficult or offensive environment that interferes with an employee’s ability to work
  • Terminating or demoting based on race, which particularly happens when new management or supervisors are brought in
  • Issuing unfair discipline based on race, faultfinding, nitpicking
  • Treating employees of one race differently and unequally
  • Providing insufficient training to employees based on race
  • Holding employees of a particular race to a higher standard
  • Giving an impossible work load or goals to employees of a particular race
  • Giving less desirable assignments to employees of a particular race
  • Giving less hours on the schedule to members of a particular race
  • Racial slurs, offensive jokes and comments
  • Displaying racially offensive imagery, websites, songs, items
  • Bullying behavior, or the office freezing you out of meetings and assignments, refusing to provide normal assistance or interaction

This is of course not a comprehensive list of the ways in which discrimination rears its ugly head at work, but it is a list that you may be more familiar with than you would like.  If you are experiencing any, or many, of the above discriminatory actions, or some other form of mistreatment, please understand that it is in the vested interests of the wrongdoers to make you feel guilty for or hesitate to pursue potential legal claims.  Contact an employment attorney to discuss what’s been happening to you, we’ve heard it all, we know how this works, and we want to help.

Communication is disconnected. It seems that texts and Facebook messages have replaced phone calls and face-to-face conversations. While this is fine for casual talk and handy for discreet sexts, shifting major relationship discussions to taking place via texts depersonalizes them. The first time I ever broke up with someone, I did it in person, and gave him a hug afterwards.

Saving a Buck: Tax mistakes

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

When it comes to your taxes, just one seemingly small mistake can cost you a lot of money, in the form of a larger tax bill, less of a refund or, in some cases, an audit. Here’s a countdown of the top four mistakes CPAs say people make on their taxes.

When it comes to taxes there’s a lot of room for error.

Number four on our list, not being aware of some the changes.

Christy Sughru, a CPA with Peters and Chandler, says, “This year’s tax form is different than last year’s tax form.”

For example, this year the Making Work Pay and Home Buyer tax credits are no longer in play.

Sughru says, “Unless you are aware of those changes, it’s easy for you to miss some possible deductions or credits they qualify for.”

Which brings us to mistake number three, choosing an under qualified tax preparer.

Sughru says, “You might want to find out their credentials and their training.”

While CPAs like Christy are the most highly trained, there are other tax preparers who aren’t accountants.
She says just be careful which one you choose.

Sughru says, “You don’t want to choose a preparer who’s going to base their fee on your refund or what they can save you.”

Number two is all about the numbers; Social Security Numbers, your income, charitable contributions, even your account numbers for direct depositing your refund, they can make your head spin, but getting them right is essential.

Sughru says, “Make sure and double, triple check name spelling and Social Security numbers.”
Just one wrong digit can cost you big, potentially changing the outcome of your tax bill or refund, or causing delays in the process.

The biggest mistake people make is not reviewing and signing off on the work.

Sughru says, “Even the most experienced CPA will prepare a return and take the time to review it.”

A careful eye is key to getting this tax season behind you.

Newlyweds and those who have added a child to their family are the most susceptible to those small mistakes.

When adding an extra person to your return there is room for error.

Sughru says be sure to look over everything a couple of times before sending it off to the IRS.

    By GingoBean
    I own a business and was told by the AT&T rep that their vehicle tracking was available to be seen on a smartphone. So we purchased 10 units. However you can’t open it within the app which makes it basically useless because our managers are always on the road. It’s only accessible from a computer. You can open the webpage on the smartphone, but it’s not useable at all.

    We were told it would work offline in the field and it doesn’t trying to add pictures to it kicks us completely out the app and the app won’t let us back in the app until we get service again.

Knitting yourself into an injury!

PSA from the girl who can’t knit/crochet or sew (it hurts to cut fabric) for the next 4 to 6 weeks. I learned a hard lesson and need to share it with all of you. 😔

I am someone who would, without realizing it, knit for hours at a time. It wouldn’t be until my digits or wrists got tired, would I realize how long I had been knitting. Then, I noticed my thumb started to get stiff in the morning (when I woke up), then sore and hard to straighten out right away (I would need to stretch it)… now it hurts to bend. Two weeks ago I stopped knitting to see if that would help, but it didn’t. I went to the doctor and I have tendonitis and it will take 4 to 6 weeks to heal fully. I’m frustrated because I can’t knit, crochet or sew and I have to be patient. Not being able to at least knit is making me antsy!

Many times I read how important resting and stretching was, but I didn’t heed this information thinking I would be fine. Don’t be like me! Take lots of breaks and stretch your hands before, during and after knitting/crochet. It will save you from injuring your digits or wrists. Here are the stretches and strengthening excises I’ve been doing. https://www.healthline.com/health/de-quervains-tenosynovitis-exercises?fbclid=IwAR0Bf34cj0-MF4o52hHbHHShFBv9_99NIfvu6sCJm7v2T3tr1pUN2VF6f-o#thumb-lifts

On the positive side, I’m hoping it is healed up in time for the next KAL/SAL and for my winter cardigan knitting plans. Unfortunately, I can’t even sew ATM because even cutting out fabric is hurting my thumb. I’ve missed out on the Beach PJ SAL and possibly the Betty dress SAL. 😔
Do yourself a favour and take care of your hands!

Drum roll, please!

To create a  garment from The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel!

From Walter R. McCall

McCall, Walter R. (Fort Valley State College)
May 6, 1955
Fort Valley, Ga.
Martin Luther King, Jr. - Family

McCall describes his plan to build a soda shop at Fort Valley State College and says that he may ask King for a loan. King’s response is not documented.

Dear Mike,

At last, I have an opportunity to sit down and write a letter! Boy! I have been a busy fellow: Work! Work! everywhere I turn, but things have slowed down a bit now. In spite of things being in a whirl, I have no reason to complain, I guess.

Hope things are going your way. I wanted to drop in on you on last Sunday past, but I discovered that I was too far off the Montgomery route from Talladega, therefore I had to take the shortest route back. Had an exceedingly good time there, as ever. By the way, I recommended you to Dr. J. R. Pross, Dean of Philosophy and Psychology and Head of Chaplaincy at Talladega. You may hear from him relative to speaking there. He is a very fine fellow. He and his wife holds the Ph.D. degree in philosophy from the University of Chicago. I hope that you both get to know each other.

By the way, I have gone a long way on the plans for constructing the College Soda Shop here: Have bought six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) worth of equipment, and will pick it up on Saturday. It is bought on a good bargain. Fellow is going out of business in downtown Atlanta, and has a whole completely furnished-elaborately furnished drug stroe, and he is giving me everything we need to equip our place. So, I have already bought a 50 gal tank, soda fountain 12 ft. long, bar bar, mirror; steamer with 8 holes; meat ei slicer (electric), cash register (electric), coke dispenser, 12 lights (neon), 150 pots, pans, knives, forks, plates, etc., 3 show cases, a whole side of enclosed shelves—a whlae of a lot of stuff—much more than I can name off hand. At any rate, I have bought every piece of equipment and fixture the business needs from him. He is the brother of a local druggist of this city, with whom I am very familar. Every iota is completed for building, so as soon as we go to Atlanta and pick the stuff up and get the measurements on the drain pipes on the fountain and steamer etc. the building will be underway. Hope to complete it by the last of July, but if at all possible by the last of June. It will be a dream, though a somewhat small place—only 35' x 50'. All plans are completed to stock it up as soon as it is completed. I will be a happy fellow when this is completed, as I am putting a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and dollars in it. Though we are getting out very cheaply.

Look out, I may call upon you for a small loan of two or three hundred bucks in June until Christmas of this year—really. Of course, I will pay you interest on it. Mike there is a dire need for this kind of business here, and I am absolutely sure that it will go in a big way here as we have the clientele and have the best possible location in town—just behind the Academic buld bildi building with only a street dividing it from the college campus! I am trying like Hell to build as I am young so by the time I am a bit older these investments will pay off. I plan to go back to school next year, or the year after. I hope to study for two or three straight years before stopping. Let me mention another factor or so about this business as I think it’s important: three of us are in it: a Maddox who was in Morehouse along with us for a while, but left to study photography in Connecticut, and has a studio here; he owns the land and is giving us a 15 yrs. lease on it free from rent for the first five years. Good! I have bought more than an acre of land which is being used now as a basis of foodstuff for the business free from rent for the first five yrs. As Maddox is giving us an option on the renewal of the lease after 15 yrs., I also am giving the owners an option on the land I own after the first 5 yrs. for renewal of release. The other fellow is a young buck in our age category (27 yrs.), as Maddox and I are the same age. This fellow’s wife holds the Ph.D. degree and works on here at the college, as professor of sec. education! Each has a good reputation in the town, and is sober in all conduct and thinking. We have the business so organized that no one can infringe upon the rights of the other. It is legally constructed. We all will be a batch of proud JACK ASSES when this thing is finished.

By the way, Norma is in school down here, and is in my class! Why don’t you and Coretta spend a week or so here with me in the Summer? Will look for you.

Remember, Doctor, I may wish to borrow that sum from you in June. I am struggling! Don’t worry, I will be able to loan you a few thousand in a few years! Watch me.

Best wishes, OLE TIMER, and a bigh hello to Coretta, and my good acquaintances there.

A Pal,

MLKP, MBU, Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers, 1954-1968, Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, Boston University, Boston, Mass.

Worst way of writing a book, no clarity at all. Probably written by an author whose knowledge is limited to generic books.

Tenki no Ko [Review]

Looking back at the successful (and not successful) elements from his past work, Makoto Shinkai rises to new heights with Tenki no Ko. While similar to Kimi no Na Wa, Tenki no Ko takes a different approach to story telling and surpasses all expectations

text: Today is the BIG day we will find out who will be the next President Of The United States. You may have already made your vote or selecting your vote last-minute regardless tonight we will know if Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be our next President. Just recently The Hacker Morning Show was given a English Bulldog as their new mascot. The mascot will bring smiles to many peoples faces as we will take her to senior citizen homes and children's homes. As we wait for the big announcement tonight on our next President we decided to put the English Bulldog to the test and see who she decides who will be our next President Of The United States. We setup a track where at the end of the track was a picture of Hillary and Trump next to each-other with a pile of dog food in front of their faces. It's up to the English Bulldog to see who's pile of dog food she eats. Will it be Trump or Hillary. Check out the video for yourself to see who her Presidential pick was. My favorite part were peoples Facebook comments!

PROMO: Students of Barrenmoor Ridge

The Students of Barrenmoor RidgeJackson Marsh has a new MM YA romance out, book two in his Barranmoor Ridge series: “The Students of Barrenmoor Ridge.”

Book two in ‘The Barrenmoor Series’ of MM romance stories with a mountain rescue theme.

Liam has set himself a goal. To come out to his best friend, Casper, before his 18th birthday while hiking at Fellborough in the Yorkshire Dales.

Things don’t go according to plan, and when a violent storm hits, the camping trip takes a potentially fatal turn. Local mountaineers, John Hamilton and his husband Gary are called to help, but it soon becomes apparent that the rescue is more than physical. Liam and Casper both have secrets that when known, have the potential break or mend their hearts.

A mix of YA, romance and adventure, ‘The Students of Barrenmoor Ridge’ brings back popular characters from the first Barrenmoor book in a familiar setting with love, mountaineering and the dangers of both.

‘The Mentor of Barrenmoor Ridge’ is the first book in the Barrenmoor Series of MM romances with a mountain rescue theme. ‘The Students’ takes place two years later, and it is better, but not vital, to read the stories in order.

From the series reviews:

“No usual tried tropes here. Great story, natural dialogue, well-developed characters, and unpredictable plot.”

“I loved reading the entire “mentor” series. Such great escapism. I Love the Pacing of the story, the twist and turns, the suspense, conflict, romance. The whole series is wonderful to read.”

The Students of Barrenmoor RidgeJohn was unable to sleep that night. The raging wind didn’t bother him even though the roof tiles rattled, and he knew the old yew tree would be creaking as it bent towards the lean-to. He was used to it and so was the cottage. It was well built.

Gary was curled up behind him, spooned in with one arm across John’s chest. The bedroom was warm, Gary’s presence warmer, and the pillows were soft. There was no reason sleep shouldn’t come, they were safe from the battering, cocooned in the perfect shelter of each other’s arms, and yet…

The scream of the wind as it charged them from the summit of Lhotse, the vibrations of the ground when an avalanche fell, the hiss of snow stinging the tent, and the mountain’s roar, all sounds he heard through the inconsequential force six doing its best to rattle the house. The bitter bite of memory gnawed at his mind for sure, but the main reason his thoughts leapt from the anesthetising approach of sleep to the worst conditions in the world had nothing to do with the past.

There were people out there now, at Everest, yes, but also on the fells. The team were over at Northpeak and they’d picked a fine night for training, but closer to home, there were hikers and climbers huddled beneath inadequate canvas hoping their pegging was sound and wishing the night would end. Daylight might bring security, but it didn’t guarantee good weather, and it was still hours away. A lot could happen. The storm had worsened to a frightening zenith before the thunder abated slightly, but still he couldn’t sleep. The lessening conditions meant the eye of the storm was overhead, and there would be more, possibly worse, to follow.

He pictured the fell from above, seeing through the agitated clouds to the swamped ground a mile below. Lit by lightning bursts, he imagined it as waves frozen in mid-roll with Fellborough peak a crest and the lower terrain its ripples. Peppered around it were insignificant dots of inappropriate colour, the shop-bought, budget tents of the unwary trembling against the elements.

He had pictured the scene on many nights as he lay listening to the conditions and wating for the MRT radio to spark into life, or for his pager to double-beep the call sign, but tonight he was seeing it more clearly, as if it was unfolding on a widescreen television in high definition. Unaffected by the storm, he floated above it, watching over its potential victims, safe at his altitude and apart. The         unhinged tempest beneath blasted from one insane thought to another, swiping at anything in its path, but John was safe, hovering on a warm updraft that dulled him towards the soft paws of sleep.

Until he fell.

Security gone. No handholds, no rope, only the empty space between him and the life-taking certainty of rock.

Gasping, he opened his eyes as his body jerked. The clock glowed one-forty-seven, and Gary had rolled away leaving him exposed and vulnerable. The pager was silent, and John was safe in his bed, but a few miles away, people might be battling for their lives, and all he could do was wait.

The rain no longer stung when it swiped Liam’s face, his flesh was too numb to register the pain. The torch beam was nothing more than a thread through barely penetrable blackness, but it showed him the ground a few steps at a time.

That was all he needed to do, take it slowly using common sense and exercising caution. The tent had been facing west, and he found the way down from the ledge between two large boulders with no trouble. Straight on to the south, he met the path. Over to his left, the lightning was now on the horizon, and the wind was swooping down from the fell on his right. If the storm didn’t change direction, it would keep him on course, and the path, now more like a stream, was marked here and there by cairns. With the wind to one side and the dying lightning to the other, he only needed to keep going downhill until he met the riverbed. If it was flooded, he’d wade straight through to if he had to.

It was his fault that Casper was in trouble. Whatever had made him go out unprotected in the storm, and whatever had happened next didn’t matter. There was nothing that could be done to change that, all that mattered now was finding someone who could save him. Repercussions of a bad decision would come, and Liam would deserve them – unprepared, inexperienced, thinking he knew what he was doing… Why hadn’t he just taken Casper down to the beach at home to tell him? Why drag him halfway up the country and make him climb a hill to ruin their friendship? He could have done that weeks ago had he not been such a ridiculous romantic. There was nothing romantic about destroying their friendship and leaving his best friend shivering to death on…

He yelled at himself to stop. Beating himself up wouldn’t do any good. He had to concentrate on his footing, and pretend he knew what he was doing. Casper needed him to be strong, to be wise, to take only a course of action that would lead to rescue, everything else had to wait.

Not knowing how far he had descended, he stopped and took out his phone. Sheltering it as best he could against his chest, he switched it on only to find no signal and the battery bar now glowing red. The phone back in his pocket, the torch aimed at the path, his head down, he continued.

The rain was easing off, that was a blessing, but the gale roared in his ears, low and booming one moment, high-pitched the next. As uncoordinated as his frozen feet, as wild as the anger he turned in on himself, it would not leave him alone. It taunted and jabbed as it bullied, and in the cacophony, he imagined laughter, spiteful and insulting, but deserved.

Another sound grew closer on a rumbling vibration beneath his feet, and a few paces further, he came to the edge of the riverbed.

Except now there was no bed, only river as thousands of gallons of water teamed from the blackness on his right to vanish back into the night on his left. The torch lit foam spewing around rocks in untamed channels that bubbled wildly and fast across his path. There was no way to judge the depth, and no way of knowing if the rocks that stood above the surface were stable, but equally, there was no time to think about it. Squinting through dripping eyelashes and aiming his light, it was impossible to see how wide it was either, but he knew for certain that there was no way to go up and around. Downhill, it could flow east for miles and take him off his path. The only way was through, and he knew he might not survive.

PROMO: Back Issues Cover Reveal

Back Issues, by Dani Hermit & Nevi StarDani Hermit & Nevi Star have a new dark MM sci fi-paranormal romance out, book one of Burn Outs: “Back Issues.”

From the Best-selling Authors of the Parliament of Twilight series comes a new erotic world of Heroes and Villains!

53 year old Matt Evans never thought he would be drawn back into the world of the Chosen and their staged battles of Good versus Evil. But with the return of his long dormant super powers on the heels of a devastating attack on the Chosen, Matt is forced to come face to face with the lover he left behind.

When Professor Colton Stephens sees Matt again, all of the pain of their past is brought to the surface. Thirty years of secrets and heartbreak must be overcome so that they can work together against the plotting of a Hero who turned into a terrorist.

When that terrorist uses Colton’s powers and proclivities against him, will his bond with Matt be strong enough to keep him out of the grip of Evil, or will Colton fall into the clutches of the first truly evil being in the known history of the Chosen?

Back Issues, by Dani Hermit & Nevi Star“The reason that we have to put the current events in perspective, other than to avoid mass panic, is clear.”

The gray and white streaked hair of the lecturing professor bounced with a youth he no longer possessed as he paced the college coliseum’s floor. Four hundred students made up his Relevant History class and at least half, if not more, were there not for his knowledge but because of his own history. Still they were here. Now more than ever, in this new world without Heroes, they needed to have a new understanding of ethics.

“If you consider the Phoenicians…”

A hand went up. “Mythos? I mean, Professor Stephens.”

Twenty seven years after his last battle, after he’d burned out his power and said a sad farewell to the name and life he loved, somehow he still had fan-boys. Still, he was good-natured about it. Colton “Mythos” Stephens wasn’t a Hero anymore but he knew he was still an example for the next generation. He’d be eighty and they still would be cheering for him. He attempted to placate his admirer.

“First, we learn. Then maybe in the last ten minutes of class we can-”

“Tell us about the battle where you defeated The Hammer and ended his reign of terror.” The student begged with excitement.

Of course. They always wanted to hear about the very last thing he wanted to talk about. The former Hero did his best not to think about the Hammer. Privately, the Hammer had been his closest friend but publicly, they were bitter rivals. Most importantly, he was the man who Colton had found a peace with within the chaos of learning the demands of the powers the Disk had bestowed on him. Though the memory that came back the most often of Matt “The Hammer” Evans was the day he walked out of Colton’s life, disappearing into anonymity as if they had meant nothing to each other.

“The class is called Relevant History. Please keep your questions about the unit we are currently-” Colton forgot what he was going to say as his eyes fell on the last man he ever thought he’d see again.

Standing in the back of the lecture hall, barely more than a profile with the light behind him, looking for all the world like a specter summoned from the depths of Colton’s psyche, was Matt. Even after twenty-nine years, seven months, and two days, Colton would know him anywhere.

“Class dismissed,” was all he could think to say as he bolted from the lecture stage, not sure whether he wanted to run to Matt or find some dark hole to hide out in.

Colton made it about ten feet out the side door before he heard Matt’s voice behind him. “Still got some run in you, dontcha Pony?” Matt used the nickname he’d given to the much smaller boy Colton had been back in their early days as rivals. “Did I scare you?”

“How dare you?” Colton stood rigid, trying not to shiver at the sound of Matt’s voice and to keep his resolve to send him away. “Don’t say another word, you… You don’t get to call me that anymore. And you not only don’t sca-scare me, you have no effect on me at all.” He kept his eyes front as if staring holes in the far wall would somehow make the storm inside his heart calm.

“Great, that’ll make things easier,” Matt’s sarcasm was an almost physical assault on the back of Colton’s head. “I don’t have time to rehash the past right now, Pony. Is there somewhere private we can go?”

Colton spun around and instantly regretted it. Now it was real. He quickly looked anywhere but Matt’s piercing eyes. “Nothing about this is going to be easy.” He was about to start another kind of lecture.

Then he saw it. Beyond the fire he knew so well, there was fear in Matt’s eyes and damn himself, Colton was going to care. “Fine. I’ll give you ten minutes. We can go to my office. It’s really private. They put it under the library for me.”

Matt nodded and waited for Colton to lead the way. When they just stood there, looking at each other, he spoke up. “Yeah, I’m getting old.” He self-consciously ran a hand through his dark blond hair, longer now then he used to wear it, and streaked with silvery lines. “Happens to the best of us. Can we get out of the hallway before one of your fan boys recognize me?” Matt inclined his head towards the group of students who were gathering at the end of the hall, curious about the man their famous professor was talking to.

“Down the hall. Take a left. Then a right. Take the door outside. Go in the library, the one with the big gilded doors and walk into the third study room. It will look locked but go in. I’ll be there after I double back around. Try not to get bored without me.”

Colton had tilted his head up and taken a couple steps forward so he could whisper in Matt’s ear. His voice was breaking as he fought back a sultry tone, one he reserved for much more delicious words than directions to his office. Whatever Matt needed to say, he needed to say it quickly. And then Colton needed to get Matt as far away as possible because Colton finished his words with the first syllable of the intimate nickname he used to use for Matt and almost choked on it.

Colton pulled several feet back, pretending to be considering the snack machine. Maybe Matt hadn’t noticed. “Go. Now.”

Author Bio

The writing duo behind the Parliament of Twilight books (and several briefly notorious YuGiOh fanfics), Dani Hermit and Nevi Star have been romantically involved for over 20 years, though they have been telling stories together for even longer. A mutual love of slash fan-fiction and high fantasy novels lead to a love for each other that hasn’t faded through the years. Together they created the various incarnations of the characters who would one day emerge as the cast for the Parliament of Twilight.

Dani also does cover design both for the Hermit & Star books as well as a side-hustle to pay for coffee. She’s also been known to crochet odd little creatures, read Tarot, and play a wicked good game of Cards Against Humanity.

Art school survivor Nevi does half of the cover design work for their novels, as well as kawaii anime style art of her own, when not drowning in an ocean of baking shows and home shopping binges.

When not fully emerged in the imaginary worlds they’ve created, Dani and Nevi spend their time absorbing books, anime, and reality TV. They live in a lovely little community in suburban Indiana with their pirate crew and a few cats.

My Houses

ESO Housing

ESO houses, that is. I still don’t have even a single house out here in the real world. At least I can pretend in the game…

I have a ton of ESO houses. Got ’em over the last year with a combination of crowns (aka real money) and in-game gold. There was one day I remember quite gleefully, when I had a huge quantity of gold for some reason, and I ran around buying at least half a dozen houses… 🙂 That was fun! But now I’m trying to furnish them all, so I’m totally broke in game, just like real life.

List of my current houses, in alphabetical order. Pics are taken from the entrance, except for one. I’m afraid there are an awful lot of images with my bear’s butt in them. He kept jumping in front of the camera.

That last one was the first house I bought. My original intention was to only use the free inn room, which was the Golden Gryphon Garret for me, because I started playiong in Summerset. I bought the place furnished, because I figured I wouldn’t have much interest in ESO housing. It’s not like Skyrim, after all. You can’t do half as much.

But… it didn’t work out like that. I eventually wanted the Grand Psijic Villa so bad I broke down and bought it, then the Hall of the Lunar Champion came free with Elsweyr, and now look what happened. Houses, houses, everywhere houses!

Fantasy Experiment

Right as I was going to bed, I remembered oh yeah, I was going to post more art here. So here you go. I’m attempting to really learn how to do the art thing, and make things that look like what I want them to look like, instead of giving up and saying good enough. I got kind of close with this one. I wanted something dreamy and fantasy-y, if that makes sense.

text: TY - INPR A1 - Freeden, Willi A1 - Mayer, Carsten T1 - Multiscale Solution for the Molodensky Problem on Regular Telluroidal Surfaces N2 - Based on the well-known results of classical potential theory, viz. the limit and jump relations for layer integrals, a numerically viable and e±cient multiscale method of approximating the disturbing potential from gravity anomalies is established on regular surfaces, i.e., on telluroids of ellipsoidal or even more structured geometric shape.

Folding the Manifold: Philosophy as the Practice of Perception

I’m heading down to the Esalen Institute next week to give this talk . . .

The philosopher Pierre Hadot famously advocated for an image of philosophy as a way of life. For Hadot, philosophical insight emerges in the context of spiritual exercises he collected under the term askēsis. Examples of askēsis include contemplative prayer, meditation, fasting, examinations of conscience, dialectics, discursive reasoning, physical training, aesthetics, and visionary experience. It was Hadot’s emphasis on spiritual exercise that led him to affirm Henri Bergson’s definition of philosophy as a transformation of perception. But in what does this transformation consist? More specifically, what is the relation between askēsis and perception? Using resources from phenomenology and transcendental philosophy, I will show that askēsis acts upon what phenomenologists call the intentional structure of perception, and that what is shaped through such practice is the manifold of sensibility described in transcendental philosophy. What emerges from this discussion is a view of perception as itself a type of practice, where attention is an act of shaping the arrangement of consciousness. Philosophy, then, is the art of folding the manifold.

  1. I’m thinking that transformation occurs more through the practices that Hadot advocates for, but Kant gives us this whole descriptive language that lets us understand how it all hangs together—it allows for something like a general language of practices of transformation. Though now that I think about it, once the CPR really clicked for me, it was a pretty transformative encounter, too.

  2. congrats…and Illich talks about precisely this askesis (or conviviality)….or virtue (a word which he says is difficult to pronounce today…
    There are good comments in ‘The rivers north of the future’ – the Gratuity chapter and partic ‘The gospel and the gaze’ chapter….
    Custodia oculorum…..the guarding of the eye.

  3. This sounds great, Adam! I’m so sorry I’m going to miss the Esalen retreat this year. I hope you record the talk (please, please).

  4. No doubt that Bergson is deeply under-appreciated in terms of the importance of his ideas. I am currently reading Deleuze’s ‘Bergsonism’ and it has really been a deeply enlightening experience. And the idea of engagement in asketic practices as a means of attaining a state of equilibrium, of equanimity, and a means of achieving practical wisdom, insight and understanding in the face of challenge and division, in the general context of a panentheistic theological framework is an incredibly important and profound insight. From the perspective of cognitive neuroscience and Iain McGilchrist’s ‘Divided Brain Hypothesis’, it offers the opportunity to achieve a sense of balance between the basic complementary operative modes of the left and right hemispheres. Given that we have been driven so far into the divisionary mode of the left hemisphere in the West since Descartes effectively unleashed its power by privileging language over experience, and given that the global existential catastrophic situation that we now face as a species has been the end result, the need to re-equilibrate is greater now than ever. It is fascinating that one has the capability of transforming perception through practices that heighten interoception and appreciation, so that exteroception can be re-oriented from the contemporary default to the ipseity and egological focus of the left hemisphere and shifted toward the alterity and otherness-focused (but mute!) mode of the right hemisphere, a re-equilibration of ration and relation, of logic and love–that can be conceptualized in terms of the ‘Spock-Kirk’ dialectic, for those of us who get their philosophical kicks, insights and inspiration from watching the original Star Trek series.

    There is a deep connection here also to the process evolutionary metaphysics of CS Peirce (to whom Whitehead referred as the ‘American Aristotle’ in a letter to Charles Hartshorne) and the critical concept of mediation, of Thirdness, and, in the context of Peirce’s Synechism, to the construct of ‘Evolutionary Love’ that truly makes the world go round.

    And speaking of the ‘folding of the manifold’, there is an important distinction to be made between a ‘smooth’ continuous analogue manifold, and a ‘striated’ discontinuous or ‘interpolated’ digital manifold. The former being the basis for ‘possibility’, and the latter being the basis for ‘actuality’. Which begs the question, ‘what is real?’–that which shapes and forms actuality, or actuality itself. The contention is that the experiential perspective of the right hemisphere sees potentiality as real, while the linguistic perspective of the left hemisphere sees actuality as real.

  5. This also relates, I think, to Gebser’s concept of the ‘aperspectival’ (ie. that which transcends and is thus freed from the limitations of the perspectival) and the emergence of the integral structure of consciousness. But that is a whole other discussion.

Celebrating Manchester City’s Win – LEGO Style

Manchester City in LEGO

After winning the 2014 Premier League Championships, the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Manchester has given the Manchester City football club a fitting tribute by building a LEGO version of their home pitch, Etihad Stadium, and their open-top celebration bus.  While building of the LEGO version of the team’s celebration is a certainly a high note for Manchester City, the team has also had to cope with a £49 million fine and a variety of penalties for violating UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations.

Watch: Teleman Reveal Visuals For New Song "Repeater"

London indie rock band Teleman have revealed the video for their newest song "Repeater".

The song, produced by Oli Bayston (Boxed In), is taken from their upcoming new EP 'Fünf', set to be released on November 17. Pre-order your copy here.

"Repeater came together really quickly, we just set up and bashed it out", the band said. "Oli has an uncanny ability to make things sound kind of unhinged and mental while also making sure it’s all locked in and hitting hard. This came out sounding exactly as we wanted it to; wild and upbeat but kind of wrong.”

The video was animated/directed by Louis Grosperrin. Watch it below.

The objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for sumatriptan, which frequently shows an atypical absorption profile with multiple peaks. Sumatriptan, a selective agonist for the vascular serotonin (5-HT1) receptor that causes vasoconstriction of the cerebral arteries, is used for the acute treatment of migraine attack with or without aura. Despite its relatively high between-subject variability, few reports have addressed PK modeling of sumatriptan. Plasma data obtained after a single 50-mg oral dose of sumatriptan in 26 healthy Korean male subjects were used. Blood samples were collected 0 (predose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 h after dosing. Plasma sumatriptan concentrations were analyzed using UPLC/MS/MS. Population PK analysis was performed using plasma concentration data for sumatriptan with NONMEM (ver. 7.2). A total of 364 concentrations of sumatriptan were captured by a one-compartment model with first-order elimination, and a combined transit compartment model and first-order absorption with lag time was successful in describing the PK with multiple peaks in the absorption phase of sumatriptan. The creatinine clearance as a covariate significantly (P < 0.01) influenced the absorption fraction (f ). The final model was validated through a visual predictive check and bootstrapping with no serious model misspecification.

PURPOSE: To examine seasonal variations in urinary symptoms in Korean men with lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Records were obtained from a consecutive database of LUTS/BPH patients from March 2010 to February 2014. A total of 1,185 patients were suitable for analysis. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), uroflowmetric parameters, prostate volume-related parameters, and serum prostate-specific antigen levels were evaluated. RESULTS: Based on the month during which they were examined, patients were categorized into cold, hot, or intermediate season groups. The IPSS score was significantly different between the cold and the hot season groups (17.3+/-6.9 vs. 16.1+/-7.4, respectively; p=0.020). Storage symptom scores were significantly aggravated in the cold (6.8+/-3.3; p=0.030) and intermediate groups (6.9+/-3.5; p=0.032) compared with the hot season group (6.3+/-3.4), with this observation primarily driven by the individual scores for frequency and urgency. Quality of life (QOL) scores were worse in the cold compared with the hot season group (4.0+/-1.1 vs. 3.8+/-1.1, respectively; p=0.012). There were also significant differences between the cold and hot season groups in voided volume (278.7+/-148.5 vs. 255.9+/-145.1, respectively; p=0.034) and postvoid residual volume (26.4+/-37.6 vs. 32.2+/-41.0, respectively; p=0.039). CONCLUSIONS: Different urinary symptoms and uroflowmetric parameters were associated with changes in seasons. QOL and IPSS parameters might be worse in cold weather seasons compared with hot weather seasons.

Tech startup Galvanize sells Phoenix and 7 other campuses for $165M

(Galvanize Photo)

PHOENIX – Tech startup Galvanize, which entered the Phoenix market three years ago, has been sold to an online education company for $165 million, the buyer announced Monday.

Virginia-based K12 Inc., planned to pay cash for Galvanize’s eight campuses. The downtown Phoenix site opened at Fifth and Grant streets and is the third-largest of the facilities.

Galvanize, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, specializes in coding bootcamps, other tech-driven training and coworking spaces.

“This acquisition expands our vision for career education to go beyond high school by developing talent and capabilities for learners of all ages and backgrounds,” Nate Davis, K12’s CEO and board chairman said in a statement.

The education company was established 20 years ago. Its career academies help more than 13,000 students with traditional schooling and technical education. The deal will give K12 access to adult learners, data science and software engineering.

Earlier this month, Galvanize revealed it was partnering with the U.S. Air Force on accelerated tech skills training.

Education/tech outlet EdSurge reported Davis said in an earnings call after the announcement, “For the first six months, we’re going to let them spend money to get these revenue opportunities going.” That could mean opening more offices.

The company’s annual 2019 fiscal year report showed over $1 billion in revenues.

“The K12 team believes in Galvanize’s mission to teach industry-relevant skills and lifelong learning techniques,” Galvznize CEO Harsh Patel said in a press release.

“I’m looking forward to continuing our work to make people’s lives better and to make education more accessible and more affordable,” he said.

Country stars released tons of new music videos for fans to jam out to this week, including -- appropriately enough, for International Women's Day -- a broad selection of videos by bada-- female country artists. Read on to check 'em out!

Chris Janson, “Good Vibes”:

Chris Janson's “Good Vibes” music video brings sunshine and positivity--something we all need. The video, directed by Michael Monaco of FlyHi Films, features Janson, his wife Kelly and their kids. “Most of it is new footage with us at home and out in the country riding around,” Janson tells Billboard. There's some older footage of the family mixed in as well as several random acts of kindness and happiness--and it's not "actors or stock footage" in the video, says Janson . They include a soldier coming home to his family, policemen playing basketball with kids, an older couple walking hand-in-hand and other heartwarming moments. -- CV

Devin Dawson, “Dark Horse”:

Devin Dawson's "Dark Horse" music video was directed by Justin Clough and filmed in black and white. He calls it "one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had as a creator" (Facebook). Dawson appears as a criminal in an interrogation room and an artist in a recording studio--and for a reason: "Both places people confess their stories. I loved the grit and honesty to the story & how it related to the song, & my own confession of my truth," he says. -- CV

Runaway June, "Buy My Own Drinks":

Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne of country trio Runaway June have released the video for "Buy My Own Drinks,” and it's a whole lot of fun. The video includes flashbacks to their younger years, when they were each dreaming big: One being a musician, one a dog groomer and one a painter. It's juxtaposed with the now-grown women doing exactly those things and living out their dreams. “The ‘Little Junes’ were the perfect way to capture that carefree feeling of returning to your inner child and getting a little wild,” says Cooke in a press release.”In doing that we can find true liberation.” -- CV

Thompson Square, “Masterpiece”:

Shawna and Keifer Thompson of country duo Thompson Square give fans a look at personal childhood memories, their wedding day and current life with their three-year-old, Cooper, for their "Masterpiece" music video. New footage of the couple singing was filmed in Keifer's hometown of Miami, Okla., and interspersed with the various older footage--some of it shot on eight-millimeter film. Kiefer sorted through film reels from 1973 to 1985 to help create this video, which was directed by Evan Kaufmann.

"There's nothing cooler to me than that old eight-millimeter look," Shawna tells Taste of Country. "We wanted to tell a story of a generational kind of thing with 'Masterpiece,'" Keifer adds. "About how Cooper is our masterpiece, and how I and my sister were my parents' masterpiece and so on, and we thought it would be a really cool way to do it, by incorporating some of that eight-millimeter footage and shooting it in my hometown." -- CV

Lucie Silvas, "Black Jeans":

The music video for Lucie Silvas' mid-tempo love song,"Black Jeans," opens up in a black and white world. Silvas gets out of bed and makes her way to the kitchen for a wake-up shot of whiskey, curlers and all, where the world becomes colorized. Silvas wanders around the house, moving from kitchen to bathroom for a bath, and finally back to the bedroom, where she gets dressed, all the while singing about what makes her feel alive: Namely, how a certain someone sees her once she dons her black jeans. "It's just a girl at home, obviously, in hair rollers and a vintage-style nightgown, a bit of a throwback," Silvas tells Billboard. "I appear in a blond wig, trying out a bunch of different personas, and it comes back to that very simple thing in the end, just being myself and being casual." -- LS

Ingrid Andress, "Lady Like":

Ingrid Andress kicks the girl power up a notch in the music video for "Lady Like," where all the shades of pink, posture exercises and domestic activities don't make Andress as "lady-like" as her rule-bending, etiquette-violating style does. Backed by ballet dancers in pink pant suits, the artist is unapologetically feminine in her own wild way... she's a lady like that. -- LS

Jade Bird, "I Get No Joy":

Jade Bird is creating a mini-movie in the music video for her song, "I Get No Joy." The video adopts a gritty retro feel, set in on a muddy demolition track where the singer careens around in a battered vintage Trans Am, plowing through props and rocking her battle wounds with indifference. With each take of the scene, she gets a little more bloodied, only to be cleaned up by the makeup crew and sent back for another round. On the final take, she spins out and takes off on her own cross country adventure, leaving the joyless set behind her. -- LS

Della Mae, "Bourbon Hound":

Della Mae has said their mission is to showcase female musical talent and "to improve opportunities for women and girls through advocacy, mentorship, programming, and performance," and the video for "Bourbon Hound" seems to accomplish that, as a houseful of talented girls gather for a good old fashioned drink and jam session, featuring some of the finest female string musicians in the industry today. -- LS

Bringing Poetry to Transit TV

When one thinks of TransitTV, those ubiquitous television boxes on Metro buses, there’s many things that jump to mind.  Poetry is probably not one of them. However, thanks to a new project by Freewaves’ Out the Window series, a little bit of poetry is coming to a bus near you.

When triggered by a GPS, TransitTV will be briefly taken over by a short poem by long-time Metro rider Marisela Norte.  Along the routes she regularly rides, five intersections were chosen to host Norte’s poems.  Here’s how it works, a GPS system in the traffic signals triggers remotes inside of the televisions.  For 1,000 feet, 500 before and after the signal, whatever Transit TV was broadcasting is replaced by this:

At Wilshire and Fairfax, image provided by Freewaves to KCET

“We wanted to expose people to something different,” explains Anne Bray with Freewaves.  In the past, Freewaves had sponsored video contests for students and local artists with winning videos shown on all Transit TV’s at the same time.  But, “We were drawn to using the GPS technology.  Any bus rider that rides past certain intersections will see the poems.”

The poems will be triggered as buses enter five specific intersections:  Whittier/Atlantic and Whittier/Indiana in East Los Angeles, 5th/Broadway in Downtown, Wilshire/Western in Koreatown and Wilshire/Fairfax in Mid-Wilshire. Norte wrote her poems with these intersections in mind as they relate to her daily commute and the people and places she observes along the way.  The poems began running on Tuesday and will continue through the end of the month.

“I’ve chosen public transportation and my own two feet as my preferred means of navigating the city. Every day I make it a point to venture out with my camera and a small notebook and just take in this landscape that is Los Angeles,” Norte says, explaining her project. “It can be a short tour around the neighborhood, a visit to the Shoe Repair man or a six mile walk. I take a personal object along with me to leave at a bus bench or atop a newspaper vending machine and try and imagine who may have come across it; might this be something they were looking for or had lost? Will they carry it home? Will it remain there for me to find again? Questions posed, and there begins the writing.  I have received many, many beautiful gifts on the sidewalks of the city; this is my thank you.”

Have you noticed these poems on your commute?  If so, let us know what you thought and what reaction, if any, they brought out from your fellow riders.  For more on Norte and the GPS Poems, visit KCET.
