When Olivia Shaw’s mother dies, the sophisticated food editor is astonished to learn she’s inherited a centuries-old English estate—and a title to go with it. Raw with grief and reeling from the knowledge that her reserved mother hid something so momentous, Olivia leaves San Francisco and crosses the pond to unravel the mystery of a lifetime.

One glance at the breathtaking Rosemere Priory and Olivia understands why the manor, magnificent even in disrepair, was the subject of her mother’s exquisite paintings. What she doesn’t understand is why her mother never mentioned it to her. As Olivia begins digging into her mother’s past, she discovers that the peeling wallpaper, debris-laden halls, and ceiling-high Elizabethan windows covered in lush green vines hide unimaginable secrets.

Although personal problems and her life back home beckon, Olivia finds herself falling for the charming English village and its residents. But before she can decide what Rosemere’s and her own future hold, Olivia must first untangle the secrets of her past.

Novavax’s Stock Rally Has Gone Far Enough, Analyst Says

Novavax emerged as an early contender in the race for a Covid-19 vaccine.

Andrew Caballero/AFP via Getty Images

Shares of the biotech Novavax spiked 31.6% on Tuesday after the company said it would receive $1.6 billion through the U.S. government’s Operation Warp Speed to test and manufacture its experimental Covid-19 vaccine. Now, one analyst says the stock has climbed far enough.

In a note out Wednesday, Ladenburg Thalman analyst Michael Higgins wrote that, after Tuesday’s rally, the stock was fairly priced.

“Rally bakes in upside,” Higgins wrote. Higgins downgraded Novavax (ticker: NVAX) to Neutral from Buy, but increased his price target to $105 from $50. Novavax shares closed Tuesday at $104.56.

Asked to respond, Novavax said it doesn’t comment on matters related to its stock price.

Novavax’s valuation has skyrocketed since January, as the biotech, which has no marketed products, emerged as an early contender in the race for a Covid-19 vaccine. The stock closed on Dec. 31 at $3.98. Of the five analysts tracked by FactSet who cover the stock, three rate it a Buy.

In his note, Higgins wrote that his $105 price target on the stock “reflects our continued confidence in the successful completion of development and global approval” of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine. He said he expects the company to price the vaccine at $10 a dose, and that patients likely would require two doses.

“It appears Novavax will be a major supplier in the U.S.” Higgins wrote. He attributed his downgrade to “the surge in valuation,” but said the fundamental value of the company had increased.

Shares of Novavax were down 2.1% Wednesday morning to $102.41. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 were up 0.7%.

Declaring a major

As part of their general education requirements toward a  Bachelor degree, all students are required to declare a major “plus one” by March 1 of their sophomore year. The Politics Department strongly encourages students to begin thinking about your plans no later than Fall semester of sophomore year, especially if you plan to study off campus as a junior. The Center for Global Education requires major declaration before a study can apply to study away from Bates, ant that deadline is often at least one month earlier than the March 1 deadline of a studen’s sophomore year.

If you are interested in declaring a Politics major, we recommend you first consult the major requirements in the College catalog. When you are ready to declare, do the following:

1.  Log in to Garnet Gateway and follow the menus to record your intention to major in Politics

2.  Download a copy of the Politics Department’s Major Declaration Form, where you are asked about your major concentration and the courses you have already taken in order to satisfy the requirements. If you are in the Classes of 2020, 2021, or 2022 please complete this Major Declaration Form. If you are in the Class of 2023 or later, please complete this Major Declaration Form. On this form, you may also list courses you will likely take in the future, but remember that not every course listed in the Politics course catalog is offered every year. So this plan will be tentative.

3.  Schedule a meeting with the chair of the Politics department, Senem Aslan by sending an email to When you meet with Professor Aslan, bring the Major Declaration Form and discuss any questions you have about the major. The chair will sign your Politics declaration form.

4.  At this meeting the chair will also assign you to an academic advisor with the major in consultation with you. While we try to give students their first choice, in order to balance workload across Politics faculty that may not alway be possible. Also, keep in mind that the assignment of academic  advisor at this meeting and the assignment of a thesis advisor late in a student’s junior year are entirely separate process. The one does not depend upon the other. Note that once you have an academic advisor in the major, this person replaces your FYS instructor as your academic advisor.

5.  After you meet with the chair, you take the Politics declaration form to your major advisor, who will sign it and confirm your declaration on Garnet Gateway. You can keep the Major Declaration Form as a worksheet to help guide your course selection at course registration periods throughout the year.

6.  After you have met with the chair and your new academic advisor in the major, be sure to return to Garnet Gateway and confirm your major selection. In other words, the process begins with you declaring an intent to major in Politics on Garnet Gateway, and then after meeting with the associate chair and your new academic advisor in the major, it ends with your confirmation of major declaration on Garnet Gateway.

While your major, minor and GEC declarations must each begin and end on Garnet Gateway, each department and program has its own procedure for assigning advisors. Please consult the appropriate department or program chair or concentration coordinator for further information about the rest of your “plus one” general education requirements.

10 Day Fully Escorted Battlefield Tour
From: 8 – 17 February 2019
Fully Inclusive at $3,890 share twin* per person (Land package only)
Single Supplements available at $900
Fully escorted by Australian Military Historian and battlefield guide: Rod Margetts

Please note: This is a small group tour with a guaranteed departure.

Australia’s military history interest is focussed currently on the Centenary of the First World War. It is fitting that the significant events of that period should receive such attention, however there is another theatre, more recent in our historical timeline and closer to home, that is often overlooked. It is the area of the Australian 8th Division’s campaign in defence of Singapore.

The campaign was short, fast-paced and vicious. While ships of the RAN and units of the RAAF were part of Australia’s commitment, the majority of the action took place on the ground, in the southern Malayan state of Johore and on Singapore island. It is probably the least known of Australia’s commitments, mainly remembered for the long and terrible period of imprisonment that followed the surrender, rather than for the efforts to halt the Japanese advance through southern Malaya.

Boronia Travel would like to offer you the opportunity to revisit and understand this neglected campaign, with an exclusive tour to the southern area of peninsula Malaysia and Singapore from 8 – 17 February 2019. The itinerary includes all the significant 8th Division actions on both the east and west coasts of the peninsula, including Mersing, Gemas, Muar, Bakri and Parit Sulong, as well as the final withdrawal down the Trunk Road and the defence on Singapore. In addition to an in-depth explanation of the various actions, there will be time to explore the historical trading port of Malacca, and free time for shopping in Singapore.

We will also attend the Official Commemoration Service at 0700 on 15th February 2019 to pay our respects to this short campaign that means so much in Australian history.

About Your Battlefield Guide

This tour is fully escorted by Australian Military Historian and battlefield guide, Rod Margetts. Rod will present information about the background and specific events which occurred, in an interesting and entertaining way. He will personally introduce himself to all tour members via email or telephone prior to departure, and invite you to advise of any subject of particular interest, such as relatives who had fought (and sometimes died) during the conflict. Rod will then research the matter to ensure, where possible, that the tour visits the particular site and that detailed information on the actions are provided.

This is a small group tour with a guaranteed departure, and may be taken in conjunction with the Thai-Burma Railway Tour.

Our tour members depend on us to provide a once in a lifetime battlefield experience combined with exceptional customer service. We do our best to meet and exceed their high standards, which is what you’d expect from Australia’s leading battlefield tour company. Here’s what our past passengers say about Rod Margetts – our very popular and knowledgeable battlefield guide:

The 75th Anniversary of the Fall of Singapore Tour was a wonderful experience. Thank you for the great information you provided. It is also fascinating to get some personal insights. We had a great group on the trip and Rod’s knowledge made it even more special. Best wishes.

Rod did an amazing job, and even though he wasn’t well for a few days, didn’t miss a beat. The Vietnamese guides were great, especially Chi who took us to a rooftop bar on the last day to try the most amazing Vietnamese coffee. Once again thanks to the team.”
Kay and John Woolnough

“I want to thank you for the exceptional tour I did with Rod Margetts and the other three tourists. We had the most wonderful tour because the guides, Rod and Sinan were so patient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we four felt that the tour was personal and tailored just for us.

Thank you John and your team for putting together such an outstanding tour. It will remain a highlight of my life and I’ll always be glad I went to the hallowed soil of Gallipoli to honour my two great uncles and all the soldiers, both Allies and Turks. With my very best wishes to you and again, my sincere thanks.”
Roslyn Burge

We cannot speak too highly of our guides. Rod and Sinan made sure that the tour was loaded with interest and information, and very enjoyable. Although we were such a small group yet we got the best presentation possible. The way Rod and Sinan worked together was amazing – you would swear it was fully scripted!!  There was no doubt that they enjoy working together, and mutually provided flexibility with the programme showing they had the specific interests of the 4 of us in the group. Didn’t matter whether it was Istanbul or the battlefields, they both covered the interesting and relevant parts so well. This included our visit to Shrapnel Valley Cemetery a second time to place flowers at my Uncle’s grave. Rod made sure the two “girls” in the group found the headstones etc which were of specific interest to them. We obviously could not take all the information in but what we did assimilate is food for further reading and understanding. By covering the main aspects fully they gave us a sound overview and the basis to look at other material, which we will do.
David Williamson and Andrew Williamson

I need to thank the 3 Tour guides Rod, Mark and Mark who gave everybody a great insight to the campaign, as soldiers we think we know our history but talking to many of the members and they all commented on how much they did not know, again well done. I also need to congratulate you on the 3 local guides who not only assisted in giving us an insight from the Turkish side but on their country, they were outstanding. Once again thank you very much.”
Graham Toll

Gallipoli 2015 – Anzac Day Centenary Tour
Rod, I knew you were a good instructor 35 years ago, but you have taken it to a new level. I had done a lot of reading leading up to the tour, but information overload, inability to relate it to ground and my faulty memory meant that I was having trouble putting it in context (to the extent that I recognised the relevance behind all your daily questions, but couldn’t remember any of the answers). Over a week you put all of that information and feeling for the ground into context in a measured, logical, informed and interesting way. I had wondered how those in the group who might not have been so committed to military history would remain engaged, so for me the proof of your approach was their enthusiasm throughout. The detail of your descriptions and ability to answer questions from left field with your broader understanding was simply outstanding. I re-read Sniffy’s book on the plane on the way home as a good summary of the first couple of days and it all makes sense now. (Actually, better to say I understand it now, as the whole affair certainly didn’t make sense). Thank you.
Garry Kelly

We had the trip of a lifetime, with the help of Rod Margetts, and Sinan (Our Turkish Guide) the Gallipoli trip was absolutely amazing, Rod explained everything in a way everyone in the group understood, my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity of laying a wreath for our Anzac at the Lone Pine Centenary Commemoration, which was televised and recorded by our family at home, a once in a lifetime opportunity. We also attended the Centenary “Smoking Ceremony” for our Indigenous Soldiers, also another once in a lifetime experience.  Rod’s guidance throughout out Gallipoli experience was absolutely fantastic, and Sinan gave us the cultural and the Turkish version of events. I don’t believe there was anything left out.

BBC Spotlight: Second 'IRA rape victim' speaks out

Media playback is unsupported on your device
Media captionMr McGahon told BBC Spotlight's Jennifer O'Leary that he was told that the alleged perpetrator had admitted abusing not just him, but others too

A second alleged sex abuse victim who claims he was raped by a member of the IRA has spoken out to criticise how republicans dealt with his case.

Paudie McGahon told BBC Spotlight he was subjected to an IRA "kangaroo court" after a Sinn Féin representative was told of the allegations.

He said the IRA offered to kill the alleged rapist but instead exiled him.

It follows similar allegations made to the programme by Belfast woman Maíria Cahill last year.

It is five months since Ms Cahill waived her right to anonymity as an alleged victim of sexual abuse to tell her story of how Sinn Féin and the IRA dealt with her claims that she had been raped by an alleged IRA man when she was 16.

Since then republicans have repeatedly questioned her version of events.

But now, BBC Spotlight has conducted an interview with another man who tells a remarkably similar story. This time, the case is alleged to have taken place in the Republic of Ireland.

'Remain silent'

Paudie McGahon is from County Louth, and grew up in a strongly republican household.

He said IRA members would use his family home often as a safe house.

He alleges that when he was 17, an IRA man, from a well-known republican family in Belfast, abused him and then threatened him to remain silent.

Recalling his experiences, Mr McGahon told the programme what happened when he tried to escape from his alleged rapist.

"He says 'listen to me, if you ever open your mouth about this to anybody you'll be found on the border roads'.

"Many's a person asks me 'why didn't you go to a doctor? Why didn't you go to this?'

"This isn't stuff that you walk into a doctor and say, 'your man raped me last night'," Mr McGahon said.

Image caption Paudie McGahon told his story to BBC Spotlight reporter Jennifer O'Leary

He told the programme he felt he could not report the matter to the Garda (Irish police).

"How can you report it to the guards, when you have been threatened keep your mouth shut? So I hid it all, I hid it all," he said.

'In custody'

Mr McGahon said that for years, he told no-one about what had happened.

But in 2002, he said he broke his silence on the alleged abuse, and a local Sinn Féin representative was informed.

Mr McGahon said he was then subjected to an IRA 'kangaroo court' in his family home.

In a second meeting that he said he had with the IRA, Mr McGahon claimed he was told that the alleged perpetrator had admitted abusing not just him, but others too and that he had been detained by republicans.

Mr McGahon told the programme that the IRA man said: "We have him in custody. We have other comrades standing over him at the minute.

"He is in custody and he is not going anywhere until we have dealt with him. But by the way, he has admitted to doing what he did, plus other people."

Mr McGahon also spoke to BBC Spotlight about the 'options' he says were outlined to him by the IRA.

"The first one was for them to deal with it - put a bullet in the back of his head," Mr McGahon said.

"It was said with such ease you knew that it wouldn't be a problem."

Mr McGahon said it was eventually agreed that the man would be expelled to England.

BBC Spotlight asked Sinn Féin whether the party leadership had been informed of this case, and if so, when.

The party did not answer that specific question but said that "at all times, those concerned acted in the best interests of the victims of alleged abuse, consistent with party guidelines".

'Live investigation'

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said that Sinn Féin's priority was to support victims of abuse whether that abuse was historical or contemporary and that the party would support victims in their efforts to get truth and justice.

"Sinn Féin has rigorous child protection guidelines. At all times the Sinn Féin representatives seek to support the victims of alleged abuse," Mr Adams said.

"We believe that all victims of abuse should be supported to access the justice system and social services and that the most appropriate bodies to deal with these allegations are the Gardaí [Irish police]and social services.

"I have previously acknowledged that the actions of republicans in the past in dealing with allegations of sexual abuse were inadequate and inappropriate."

Mr Adams said Paudie McGahon "clearly feels badly let down".

"Nothing that I may say will change this but it is a matter of deep regret to me," he said.

"I hope that justice is served and support delivered to Mr McGahon."

In BBC's Spotlight programme on Tuesday, Mr McGahon claimed senior republican Padraic Wilson, 55, was involved in the kangaroo court meetings he said he was subjected to.

In a statement issued through his solicitor on Tuesday, Mr Wilson said he does not know nor has he ever met Mr McGahon.

He said: "I have had no dealings whatsoever with the man he alleges raped him.

"As a victim of alleged abuse Mr McGahon has every right to have his allegations pursued through due process.

"But I refute entirely the allegations that he has made against me."

Mr Wilson said he he had previously offered to assist the garda investigation in an effort to "clear up this matter".

Meanwhile, Justice Minister David Ford has ruled out holding a cross-border review into allegations of sexual abuse by members of the IRA while individual agencies of the justice system in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland conduct their inquiries.

Life on (simulated) Mars

A team of six scientists has just emerged from a futuristic white dome on Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano - they'd been living there for a year in near-isolation. The whole thing was an experiment funded by the American space agency NASA, to see if it might be possible for humans to live on Mars in future.

The landscape on the volcano is unearthly, and almost nothing will grow on its slopes because of the altitude. Before their mission came to an end, Outlook asked the crew members - Sheyna E. Gifford, Cyprien Verseux, Andrzej Stewart, Tristan Bassingthwaighte and
Carmel Johnston - to look back on a year spent on their fictional Mars base - here are some of the messages they beamed back to us - recorded inside their space-age accommodation.

"memories take us back, dreams take us forward" - author unknown

The quote "memories take us back, dreams take us forward"  sums up the feeling of our pillow line! We hope that each time you look at one of our specific pillows, you will remember your favorite place or vacation or special event in your life.  They may also excite you as you look forward to a wedding, a special trip or a dream house by the shore!
     Over the years I've gone from retail management, to interior design, to starting my own custom sewing business when our daughters were young and I wanted to be home with them.  I have worked with very talented decorators and an upscale home furnishings company.
     I am really proud of what I have accomplished and love the people I worked with, but something has always been missing.  After much soul searching I realized that I needed the creative freedom to design my own products.  These pillow collections reflect my love of natural fiber textiles, old maps and vintage postcards.  My husband, who has a wealth of experience in sales and marketing is my business partner on this new venture.
     We hope that our new pillow collections remind you of all the things that you love!

We are happy to send swatches of our linen upon request.

Please visit our Etsy shop at www.bearlynstitches.etsy.com for wholesale inquires if you are a retail shop or designer. You can click on the orange "Request a Custom Order" button to initiate the conversation. I will be happy to set up a custom wholesale listing for you.

Game On! event has great turn out, great game play

Game On! event has great turn out, great game play

Published on: May 21, 2020

Screen shot from Game On!

Screen shot from Game On!

Becker College’s “Game On! Celebrities for Students” was a great success. The event featured former NBA All-Star and Olympic Gold Medalist Carlos Boozer, Semi Ojeleye of the Boston Celtics, and rapper Izo Enoma, who joined Becker College students for the online gaming competition, held live on the Becker College Twitch channel (@BeckerCollege).

“We had almost 1,000 views and the game play was top-notch.,” said Alan Ritacco, Ph.D., dean of the Becker College School of Design & Technology. “Our students did a fantastic job, especially Vinnie Carrabino and Dawson Golove. Dawson emceed the entire event, while Vinnie managed all of the backend and logistics with ease.”

Carrabino and Golove, who are both majoring in esports management, noted that they were happy to be asked by Dean Ritacco to participate.

“Obviously, this has been a hard semester, so I thought it was a great idea to end on a good note,” Carrabino said.

Both students also said they thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and were pleased with the results.

“Being an emcee for the event was awesome,” said Golove. “I had the responsibility of transitioning our broadcast’s topics, conversation flow and focus all while ensuring that the audience would be interested as to what is going on. I really enjoyed taking this job on and I am eagerly looking forward for the next opportunity!”

“I had a great time helping to put on the event,” Carrabino agreed. “I hope we can do more in the future.”

For Carrabino, managing the backend and logistics for Game On!  was very much a team effort.

“I had a lot of help from the others on the team—including Haley Jarosz, Thomas Murphy, and Reese Dikmak—in creating the scenes for the stream, setting up the game lobbies, communicating with the student and the celebrities, and troubleshooting issues,” said Carrabino. “It was a lot to do in a short amount of time and finals, but I’m proud of what we were able to do.”

The Game On! participants played Fortnite and Madden NFL 20. Madden NFL 20 is the latest iteration of the massively popular—130 million copies have been sold since 1988 —football simulation video game published by Electronic Arts. And, Fortnite—the free-to-play battle royale sensation from Epic Games—counts nearly 250 million players.

“Semi Ojeleye won two of the three Fortnite matches during the event,” Ritacco said. “Carlos Boozer defeated Vinnie Carrabino in a closely contended Madden 2K game, and Izo Enoma add emcee tenor to the event.”

“Even though I lost in Madden against Carlos Boozer, I felt we had a great conversation about esports, the Olympics, and what it like playing basketball at the pro level,” Carrabino said. “It was awesome having someone I admired as a fan, being a fan of what we are doing with esports at Becker College and beyond.”

“The highlight for me was being able to work with very awesome and motivated peoples from both the guest side and the Becker College side,” Golove said. “Working on these projects with these incredible people is great fun and an eye-opening experience towards developing myself as a better Esports Management student.”

Game On! Celebrities for Students aimed to entertain as well as raise money for the College in support of students impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. All money donated will go towards helping students adjust to remote learning amid these challenging times

“Young people are our future,” said Semi Ojeleye. “And, I welcome the opportunity to help the next generation coming up, especially during this moment in our nation’s history.”

Becker is committed to bringing the community together, finding more ways to connect through play during a time where people need to be physically distant.

“Video games and esports are enormously important to the college community,” said Ritacco. “We think that this event was a great way to show that, even though we are all apart in real life, we are all together online.”

“During these unprecedented times, we are all given the responsibility of being agile with adapting our livelihoods, hobbies, and anything else related to our daily processes,” Golove said. “I am proud to be able to continue interacting with the esports industry and appreciate the hard work everyone puts in.”

7 ASCs, surgeons introducing robotics in 2019

Angie Stewart - Print  |

A number of surgery centers and clinicians have introduced robotics in 2019.

Here are seven:

Flowood, Miss.-based Capital Ortho clinicians performed the center's first partial knee replacement using the Navio robotic system. The surgery center believes it is the first freestanding facility in Mississippi to use the Navio device for a partial knee replacement.

Surgeons with Colorado Springs (Colo.) Orthopaedic Group began using the Mako robotic arm for total knee replacement surgery. Three of the practice's 16 surgeons are trained to use the robot.

Mesquite, Texas-based NTTC Surgery Center began offering robotic total knee replacement in an effort to make surgery safer and more cost-effective.

Physicians at Alexandria, Minn.-based Heartland Orthopedic Specialists are now performing joint replacements using the Mako robotic arm. Six physicians at the practice are trained to use the technology.

A surgeon at Newberry, S.C.-based Palmetto Bone & Joint performed the state's first outpatient robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. Orthopedic surgeon James Loging, MD, completed the procedure using Smith & Nephew's Navio Surgical System.

Muskegon (Mich.) Surgery Center was the state's first ASC to use Medtronic's Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance platform for spine surgery. MSC was the second surgery center in the country to introduce the Mazor X Stealth Edition.

Fayetteville-based Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center became one of the world's first medical facilities to adopt a dental robot called Yomi, a $150,000 robot developed by Neocis. Only 24 other facilities in the world own Yomi.

BenQ Unveils the Ultimate Macbook Companion: The All New Simple yet Sophisticated VW30 VA LED Monitor

BenQ Unveils the Ultimate Macbook Companion: The All New Simple yet Sophisticated VW30 VA LED Monitor

VA Panel, Pure White Asymmetrical Design, Eco-friendly, Mac Compatible, Reading Mode, M-book Mode, HDMI

BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations and LED monitor expert, today announced the launch of the slim, pure white VW30 VA LED monitor – a new addition to its stylishly innovative VW Series lineup. Featuring VA panel technology, LED backlighting, Macbook compatibility and multiple input options, this high-tech work of art designed to make the perfect style statement for users seeking premium visual enjoyment, outstanding multimedia performance and versatility in an exquisite, eco-friendly package.

The Perfect Companion for the Simple and Sophisticated
No printing, no coating, just expressly beautiful – the BenQ VW30 embodies simple living with eco-friendly sophistication while keeping things interesting with its clean, curvy lines, unconventional asymmetric form and a uniquely designed docking accessory that serves as a holder for your mobile phone and cards. This pure-white simple look also makes the VW30 an ideal match for Macbook. However, the VW30 doesn’t just match your Macbook on the outside; it also makes a seamless match on the inside with the newly calibrated M-book Mode. Built via BenQ’s exclusive Senseye Human Vision technology, which incorporates six proprietary calibration techniques to achieve the best viewing quality in each of its pre-set viewing modes, this special mode enables the VW30 to faithfully preserve the color quality of a Maccbook display so that users can enjoy the view of their Macbook on a bigger screen.

Reading Mode for an Optimized Reading Experience
For a more comfortable reading experience, BenQ has adjusted the monitor’s resolution, color temperature, brightness and contrast ratio and sharpness to create the all new Reading Mode which simulates the look of printed paper to help reduce the eye discomfort typically caused by prolonged and focused use of eyes on computer monitors. Closely approximates the reading experience of printed books.

A VA LED + Full HD 1080p Visual Perfection
A VA LED creation, the VW30 also takes full advantage of what VA panel technology and LED backlighting have to offer:
• An ultra-high native contrast of 5000:1, which is five times of that of general panels, adds astonishing color depth and definition to darkened, complex images with the greatest subtlety and clarity. With a native contrast ratio this high, you can expect an infinite dynamic contrast ratio that far exceeds your expectations.
• A true 8-bit panel, which renders a total of 16.7M color shades to deliver smoother and more stable transitions from one color to the next.
• True blacks and minimized light leakage, which enables the VW30 to display precislely layered and contrasted details in even the darkest image.
• A 178˚/178˚ wide- angle viewing experience so sharper details, higher contrast and truly authentic colors can be viewed by everyone from left, right, above and below.
• LED backlighting, which enables lower power consumption than conventional CCFL monitors.
Together with Full HD 1080p resolution and ultra-fast 4ms response time, with the VW30, users can enjoy better visual clarity and viewing comfort for work and play every day while staying energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

Multiple Entertainment Connectivity for Added Convenience
Last but not least, the VW30 features different connectors to support your digital entertainment lifestyle. The latest HDMI high-speed multimedia interface connects you to a wide array of high-definition multimedia devices, including Blu-ray DVD players, PS3s, XBOXs and other gaming consoles. The D-sub and DVD-D connectors support both analog and digital signals, allowing you to pair the VW30 with your desktop computer and notebooks, as well as other inputs.

“We are very proud to announce the launch of the new VW30. This incredible monitor shows BenQ’s innovative practice and dedication to bring to market highly exquisite monitor designs that consumers seek to meet their digital lifestyle,” said Peter Chen, EVP and General Manager of BenQ Technology Product Center. “For users that appreciate a creative fusion of beauty, functionality and sustainability, the VW30 will certainly open them to a new level of enjoyment in life. It’s yet another triumph for us all.”

Stocked Up!

Stocked Up!
Photo-A-Day #1587

At every convention I come home with a ton of swag. Most of the time I get T-shirts. Back at Blog World Expo last year I came home with 16 new shirts. This time I brought back two. That is okay because I don’t usually have enough days a year to wear the T-Shirts. Or rather I never get to the t-shirts at the bottom of the pile because I wash a set and wear them over and over. I’m such a fashionplate, I know.

This conference I spent hours on end in the Blogger Lounge meeting people, giving away xshots and blogging. What I also did there was drink a bunch of Vemma and Verve Energy Drink. Vemma is a liquid formulas that makes it easy to get the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants you need to form a solid nutritional foundation. Verve and Verve Energy Shots contain the good things of Vemma but with some added caffeine to help you stay on top of your game.

I am considering being part of the Vemma Affiliate program and we shall see where that takes me. I’m really interested in seeing how things go with a month’s supply of Vemma (Vitamins, Essential Minerals, Mangosteen and Aloe) as well as two cases of Verve Energy shots. The one I had earlier today worked really well for me. I was so dead tired from my late night last night on the train that around 1:00 I began to nod off big time, at work. So I had one of the sugar free Verve Energy shots and I was good to go.

There are some interesting people involved in Vemma like BK Boreyko (Still kicking myself for not chatting more with BK, he’s a fascinating guy) , Gary Vaynerchuk (VaynerMedia is working on the Vemma web presence) and Missy Ward as well as Bonnie Schroader

One thing that I really like beyond the great taste and the energy boost is the fact that the company gives back.

Getting back into the swing of things after three days of an amazing conference has been tough. I was a zombie today because of the 1:00am arrival home and 5:30am wake up and go to work. That was of course until I had my Verve Shot but before that I was very very zombie-like.

I did snap out of things when I got a tweet from Chris Brogan (@ChrisBrogan) telling me that he’s now following me on Twitter. Once he tweeted that a floodgate of followers came after me. It was absolutely nuts. I could hardly keep up. Chris and I bantered back and forth twitter for a while until LuJean Smith (@LuJeanSmith) told us to get a room. It was pretty funny. I’m looking forward to catching up with Chris and I have to read his book Trust Agents before we do.

I did learn from this that sometimes you just have to ask. Also that there is such trust in a guy like Chris that his followers figured I was a good enough guy to watch. It was kind of overwhelming. Thanks Chris, we’ll have to do some karaoke at IZEAFest.

Speaking of IZEAFest the winners of the Ultimate IZEAFEst Prize Pack have been selected either by the Judges (for the Ultimate IZEAFest Grand Prize Pack) and randomly with Random.org for the two runner up prizes. I posted up the finalists for the Ultimate IZEAFest Grand Prize Pack and you can let me know who you would chose if you were a judge. But you will have to wait until Monday August 17th to see the winner announced on The MarketLeverage TV Network.

I’m also working on two very special things for people for IZEAFest. BenSpark.com is going to be showing up in some very interesting places.

We Were Both Too Tired To Sleep
Photo-A-Day #1586

My third and final day at Affiliate Summit East was full of blogging, keynotes and networking with some fantastic people. I started off early. I went to the Blogger’s Lounge an hour before it opened. I had written my post from yesterday late into the night on WordPad because I wasn’t going to pay for $18.95 Internet access in my room. The ability to write without distraction of twitter, e-mail and “Oh! Shiny!” is wonderful. I was able to pop on some headphones and just go at it and recall my whole day. I’m presently writing this post on the train bound back for Providence. I have a seat in the back (no one behind me thank God) and the car is nearly empty. Too bad the train was over an hour and a half late leaving. I have about 3 solid hours to write. So brace yourself this post is gonna be epic.

Having the Blogger’s Lounge to myself for the first hour of the morning was great. I was able to catch up on all the tweets I missed because I don’t have an iPhone and constant contact. Which isn’t great all the time but at a conference of this nature it is essential. I was able to post all my photos and write captions for them before posting up my actual post. I was also able to post up the infamous video of Ted Murphy (@TedMurphy), Me and Shawn Collins (@AffiliateTip) singing Milli Vanilli’s Girl You Know It’s True. Just wait, that thing will go crazy viral. I can’t wait to sing with Ted and Shawn again!

The photos were fun because last night I formatted all of them but wasn’t able to write out all the descriptions because it was so late. I hope that people are enjoying the photos that I’ve take with them using my Xshot, or their Xshot. I gave away 12 Xshots throughout the conference and there were many people who were very happy about that. Thank you so much to Michael from Xshot for sending me a case to give away.

I worked on the post and photos solidly until around 9:20am when I realized that I should eat something. I ran downstairs and got something to eat at breakfast and came back up to the Blogger’s Lounge to finish everything up and head off with Tim Jones (@Timothy_Jones) to the Peter Shankman (@Skydiver) Keynote.

Peter Shankman

Peter’s keynote was fantastic. He was funny endearing and brutally honest. He was also introduced by the ever-awesome Jim Kukral (@jimkukral).

Jim Kukral at Peter Shankman Keynote

I loved this keynote mostly because of the content but also because of Tim Jones. Sitting next to Tim Jones in a keynote is amazing. The guy is there on his MacBook, he’s writing notes about the keynote, tweeting, filming and writing most of his post about the keynote never missing a beat about what is being said. Tim put together a 3 minute ADOS (Attention Deficient,… Oh! Shiny!) video of the keynote that is great and since I cannot really remember specifics about the keynote I’m just going to link to some great tweets by Tim and his post: Peter Shankman Keynote Address at Affiliate Summit East 2009

Peter Shankman

During the keynote, towards the end Peter pulled out his Poken, he has a panda I have a Dragon. He explained how the Poken was going to be the next amazing breakthrough in making business and personal connections.I just received my Poken yesterday via FedEx from PokenGirl (PokenGirl). I was excited because I could finally Poken with someone else who got it. I mean, Tim certainly gets it so he counts but we already Pokened yesterday. Peter tossed a couple of Pokens to the crowd, Missy Ward and her son got some. After the keynote I went over with Tim to get some photos of us meeting Peter and exchanging “High 4’s”.

Peter Shankman and Tim Jones

Peter was selling the Pokens there for $20 and there were a bunch of people buying them.

Update: PokenGirl has offered a %15 off code for Affiliate Summit Attendees. Just use ase09 at checkout. Buy Your Poken Today. And if you would I’d love it if you bought it through my affiliate link there. I’ll be sure to High 4 you when next we meet.

@BenSpark and @Skydiver after Keynote with our Pokens

One person who wanted one was Stephanie Lichtenstein (@StephARC). She wasn’t carrying cash so I fronted her the money so she could get one. I don’t want to see someone cool going Pokenless. We had exchanged a few tweets recently and I figured, hey pay it forward. It wasn’t until people were starting to open and play with their Pokens that I realized that PokenGirl really hooked me up. She not only GAVE me a Dragon Poken for free but she got my Poken completely ready to roll. She pre-pokened my Dragon with her info and she also hooked me up with a lanyard. It was really nice of her to do that.

Stephanie and BajaLori (@BajaLori) posed for a few photos for me so I could get some great Poken action shots.

@BajaLori and @StephARC

I’ve posted them to Flickr and will put up my Poken review as soon as I have a moment to do some serious updating and upgrading to my Poken Profile. I will however help anyone who would like to have a custom Poken Card. Basically an image that is unique to your Poken Profile. This is sort of like a custom Twitter Background.

After the keynote I met Missy Ward’s Dad (@MissysDad) and we had a photo taken together by Missy’s sister.

BenSpark and @MissysDad

I also got to meet Jen Goode (@JGoode). We didn’t meet and talk much but I did get to High 4 her.I wanted to tell her that I love her episode of The Spew (Missy Ward’s Geekcast.fm show)

When the Keynote was over I went down and checked out of the hotel, came back up to the Blogger’s Lounge and there were all the IZEA Insiders who were at the conference. I finally got to meet Laurie (@Laurie_Pooh) and Corrin (@CorrinRenee). So we got a bunch of different Group Shots using our Xshots. Sometimes together and sometimes one at a time. Here is one of Heather Mary Smith, Blogger Lounge Mistress (@HeatherinBC, Connie Foggles (@ConnieFoggles), Me, Laurie, Corrin and Brett Bumeter (@BrettBum).

We also took one of all the IZEA Insiders Me, Heather, Laurie, Corrin and Brett.

I spent pretty much the entire rest of the day in the Blogger Lounge. There wasn’t really any session that I wanted to see and there was my Ultimate IZEAFest Prize Pack contest to work on. I got four great judges. Tim Jones, Famous Blogger Murray Newlands (@MurrayNewlands), Eric Schechter (@EricSchechter and my favorite Life Coach Kim Ann Curtin (@KimAnnCurtin). I know that I made a great choice in picking these judges. They watched each video read each blog post and determined the best choice for the Ultimate IZEAFest Prize Pack Grand Prize Winner. That person will be revealed on MarketLeverage TV on Monday August 17th along with the two runner up winners.

You’d think that being in the Blogger’s Lounge that you would go and miss everything that was going on but that is not the case. I met some wonderful people there and I gave away a bunch of Xshots to those people. I met Michael Pomposello of Content Written. We played a game of Wii Tennis for an Xshot. He smoked me and got his Xshot and we took a photo together.

BenSpark and Michael Pomposello

Michael is a really nice guy who has a great idea and company to help people who need content.

I also got a photo with BajaLori so that I could print her a special business card with my Pogo. She was all amazed at it and had some serious tech envy! That is okay Lori because you have a Poken now. BajaLori has the very special VIP Gorilla Poken. It is very cool.

@BajaLori and @BenSpark

I also got to Meet Connie’s daughter Peanut and her Husband. Peanut was a trip, she is so precocious but in a great way. She loves photos of Eva and cannot wait to meet her. She also liked the videos that Allison sent me of Eva watching Dada make a fool out of himself and dance with Ted Murphy and Shawn Collins. Connie is such a dear woman and her family very nice. I look forward to seeing her again at IZEAFest.

@ConnieFoggles and @BenSpark

The Blogger Lounge was Sponsored by Vemma. Vemma is a company that makes some delicious fruit juice that is full of amazing fruits and vitamins for you. They are starting an affiliate program and I’m going to get in on this. I drank their energy drink all weekend and at the end of the show they left a lot of product int he Blogger Lounge. Well I loaded up with it. I mean Loaded up. I took everything I could. Towards the end of the session. Bonnie Schroader (@BlogBonnieBlog) the Affiliate Manager for Vemma approached me and we chatted about the program. I liked that this a program that I can get behind. I have plenty of product to incorporate into my daily life for a while and give you a really good idea of the benefits to me and hopefully to you as well.

My Vemma Haul!

Yesterday when I met Gary Vaynerchuk (@GaryVee) I also met the head of Vemma, BK. Except at the time I did not know that. BK was pretty impressed with my Xshot as well as with my use of ZINK Paper in my Polaroid Pogo. And to think I could have gotten a photo with BK that night if I had only stopped and asked him who HE was. That is my big problem, I talk too much about me and not enough about other folks. I need to ask people more about what they want or what I can do for them. I have to learn from Affiliate Blogger/Famous Blogger and all around nice guy Murray Newlands. He always asks people, what can he do for them. Such a great question.

@BlogBonnieBlog and @BenSpark

I was also approached by a couple of guys from GTO Management. (Ted they have fantastic cards that are spelled right and everything and they do BOWLING Shirts, forget Hockey Jersey’s Bowling is more my sport anyway.) So Wade Tonkin (@Affile8Warrior) and Joel Garcia (@JoelGarcia) came over and gave me a great bowling shirt from BowlingShirt.com but I was talking to someone at the time and didn’t get photos with the guys, which I should have done.

Bowling Shirt from Wade Tonkin and Joel Garcia

At the time I was talking with a new blogger named Carrie Jaffe-Pickett. She had been talking with Heather and Connie for a while while I worked on photos and other items and then we got to talk. She had a bunch of questions but such a desire to learn and to put up with my complete ADOS was great because I was up down and talking with everyone who came by. I was trying to be everything for everyone and I apologize for not giving my full attention Carrie. I hope I was able to help you out with questions, you can always contact me if you have any further questions. Carrie is a Freelance Writer and she has a blog called CarrieWriterBlog.com

I gave Xshots to Courtenay Bird (@Courtenaybird) and also to Andre Natta (@Acnatta. I tried to give one to their friend but he already had one and was very abrupt with me about it. They must have been late. I have no idea who the guy was either. Oh well, Instead I gave one to Lewis Howes (@LewisHowes) and another to Sean Cohen (Scohen) of Aweber. Lewis was using the Xshot right away with his friend Alex Shalman (AlexShalman). I went over and got a great photo of the two of them using their flip with the Xshot.

Alex Shalman and Lewis Howes

I am looking forward to how that video comes out. Alex is going to hook me up with a great WP plug in too. I’m pretty excited.

Update: Alex hooked me up with the video that he and Lewis made witht he Xshot and the flip. Good Stuff.

Around 4:30 when all the bars were closing John Chow (@JohnChow) went and collected all the free drink tickets that he could find and he cleaned out a bar of all their beer. Then he and Kim Ann Curtin snagged a big rolling cooler full of ice so as to keep them all cold as they blogged. John Chow is one really dedicated blogger, vlogger and affiliate. He’s such a hard working guy, getting out there and producing content all the time. I shot this photo of him deep in concentration on the beer video.

John Chow, Hard at Work

A video of the beer that he just got. John is fast, super fast, that is why he is one of the best. When I left he said that we’d catch up again at Blog World Expo. I’m really seriously considering going. Does anyone have a spare pass?

I forgot to mention earlier that I had a really nice lunch with Murray Newlands and Connie. The menu was a Chinese Food one and there were Fortune Cookies. I love Fortune cookies and am going to bring back Fortunate Fridays. But today I took about six of them and cracked one open every 1/2 hour or so and tweeted the fortune. These were all so appropriate for the weekend and for what I learned about giving more to people and taking less. Listening and seeing what I can do for someone else. Chasing a dream and being grounded in reality. I have to thank once again Missy Ward (@MissyWard) and Shawn Collins @affiliatetip) for creating Affiliate Summit. More importantly I want to thank Missy for giving me a Platinum Pass to the event. She’d never met me before and I asked her what could I do to help, she just gave me the pass and I said I’d blog the event. I wasn’t as great a blogger in real time, like Tim Jones, but I think I did a pretty good time letting you know about what Affiliate Summit was all about. Missy is a class act and a simply amazing woman. I didn’t get a photo with her either. Man I am slipping. Well, there is always IZEAFest or future Affiliate Summits.

Beyond the Body Count

Field Notes as First Responder Witness Accounts

in Girlhood Studies
Restricted access

I position critical ethnographic researcher field notes as an opportunity to document the physical and ideological violence that white settler states and institutions on the school-prison nexus inflict on the lives of girls of color generally and Black girls specifically. By drawing on my own field notes, I argue that critical social science researchers have an ethical duty to move their inquiries beyond conventions of settler colonial empirical science when they are wanting to create knowledges that transcend traditions of body counts and classification systems of human lives. As first responders to the social emergencies in girls’ lives, researchers can make palpable spatialization of institutionalized forms of settler epistemologies to convey more girl-centered ways of speaking against quantifiable hierarchies of human life.
