PAssages – April 1968 – John Albrecht reunites with sister after 39 years

This photo of John Albrecht was taken by P.G. Downes or his book Sleeping Island, The Story of One Man’s Travels in the Great Barren Lands of the Canadian North (Coward-McCann Inc., New York 1943) – John Albrecht was Downe’s guide, and the book describes him in detail

by Joan Champ

Imagine losing touch with your siblings due to war, and never seeing them again for decades. You never know what happened to them – as far as you know, they are dead. There’s no way to find out, especially when you live the isolated life of a trapper in northern Saskatchewan.

This is what happened to John Albrecht, a man I wrote about in an earlier, two-part column (September 21 and 28, 2017 – “A Reporter’s Encounter with Nan Dorland, Prospector”). Circumstances of two world wars separated John from his family for decades, yet the family ties remained strong – strong enough to miraculously bring them back together after almost 40 years of unimaginable challenges. This reunion was brought about in the mid-1960s thanks to the efforts of a Prince Albert resident, S. E. (Bob) Lee, and the German embassy in Toronto.

Bob Lee brought this incredible story to the attention of the Prince Albert Daily Herald back in 1968. An account of John Albrecht’s reunion with his sister, Mrs. Anna Gumboldt (or Gumpoldt), was published on April 16, along with a photograph of the two siblings, Anna’s daughter Margarete, and Bob Lee. The newspaper devoted almost a full page to the stories of the brother’s and sister’s lives. Both siblings experienced adventure and adversity, yet their experiences could not have been more different.

According to Dr. Klaus Lehnert-Thiel’s account of John’s life, published in The Northerner at the time of John’s death in 1991, the Albrecht children led a rather idyllic life on the shore of the Baltic Sea where their father ran the lighthouse. “There, … John spent his youth in an unspoiled environment of unmatched beauty,” Lehnert-Thiel writes. “Fishing, hunting, trapping, skating and sailing were activities which the young John Albrecht enjoyed from a very young age.” The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 changed everything.

At the beginning of the war, the Imperial Russian army invaded Albrecht’s homeland of East Prussia. Sixteen-year-old John volunteered for the German army. For the next two years he served as a machine gunner until he was captured by the British in 1917. He spent three years in a British prisoner-of-war camp. After his release in 1920, he returned to his home country, now annexed by Lithuania. Continuing struggles in the Baltic region led John to emigrate to Canada in 1929. He waved goodbye to his sisters and brother on the pier at Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), not sure he would ever see them again.

Albrecht arrived in Saskatchewan during the Great Depression. After two years of working on farms, Albrecht headed north to Wollaston Lake where he trapped for the next seven years. Albrecht moved to Stony Rapids in 1939 and trapped from a base on the Saskatchewan-Northwest Territories boundary. In 1948, together with his partner, Albrecht found the Nisto Uranium Mine on the north shore of Black Lake. The following year he “struck it rich” again when he married US radio star, Nan Dorland. Nan died in 1950 a few days after giving birth to their son.

John’s sister Anna escaped death several times during the Second World War. She and her four daughters endured 13 years in a Russian forced labor camp. Anna told the Herald reporter that her children suffered the most. Starvation was always with them. Her daughter Margarete was hit in the head by a Russian rifle butt, leaving her with a permanent scar. Her daughter Sigrid lost some of her toes to frostbite. With the children of other families in the camp dying one after another, Anna refused to give up. “I’d steal, beg and do almost anything to get something for the children to eat,” she recalled. “If I had been caught, it would probably have been Siberia.” Anna returned home from the fields one evening to discover that her mother and two of her daughters, 4-year-old Margarete and 5-year-old Bridget had been taken away on a forced march to Poland. That night, Anna and her two remaining daughters slipped away from the camp and began what became a six-month search. When she found them, her mother had died and neither of her daughters could walk. Carrying the young girls on their backs, Anna and her older daughters travelled back to the family home in Lithuania. By the time they got home, two of the girls required stomach surgery due to the horrors they had endured.

Fast forward to 1968, when Anna Gumboldt, along with her daughter Margarete, reunited with her brother, John Albrecht in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. “It’s a miracle we ever found John,” Anna said to the Herald reporter. “We all thought he had died in the wilderness of northern Saskatchewan where we got our last letters from him.”  “Yes, you thought I was dead,” John replied, “and I thought you were all dead in the war. Now we find that almost the whole family is still living.” Margarete eventually moved to Canada to live with her uncle, first in LaRonge, then in Langley, BC, where Albrecht died in 1991 at age 93.

War divides and separates families and tests familial bonds. But the ties of a family transcend war and through trying times remain intact no matter the challenges endured.

National Audio Archives Survive Radio Pakistan Fire Scare

On October 28, 2007 there was a news of fire at the Radio Pakistan building in Karachi. The fire completely burnt 14 studios and the switchboard.

According to estimates the monetary loss runs in millions. The building itself is almost 100 years old but the Radio Station had moved to this building in 1950. Luckily the precious national radio archives of Pakistan of more than 60 years remained safe at the first floor. For some time there was also concern about a few historic items being lost to the fire. First there was a chair and table set used by the first Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan to address the nation. Second and third were the pianos that were used to compose the tune of Pakistan’s national anthem.
Today’s news update in Jang tells us that the chair used by Liaquat Ali Khan got damaged by fire but is repairable. Both pianos are safe. One was out of the building at the time of fire as it was sent out for repairs last week. The other piano remained un-damaged in the fire. I guess, we have been lucky that the fire spared our national collectibles, especially the radio archives. May be it is high time that pianos and furniture of historic value should be shifted to a museum or better fire safety measures be taken at the Radio Pakistan building. On another note, this may be of interest to our readers that despite raging fires, broadcast from Radio Pakistan Karachi remained off air for 30 seconds only.

  2. Dr Ghulam Nabi Kazi says:

    Razi has a good point. Some years ago I went there to record an interview and felt that I was back in 1950. The authorities should invest more in such heritage protected buildings and make them museums and tourist resorts. Who listens to radio anyway. If you are in a car maybe you will listen to FM101. Nevertheless the archives are truly precious and remnant of an era that will never come back.

  3. Syed Fareed Ali says:

    Good idea to remove the historical items to a museum where they can be preserved and also people can see them. This should be done immediately

Dr. Joel Wallach, BS, DVM, ND on Diabetes, Cancer, Arthritis, Obesity, Alzheimer, & more!

Posted on

I have had an association with Dr. Wallach’s work since 1978, have used his concepts in my programs since then and have been working with his formula’s at Youngevity for over 5 years.  I am an expert at facilitating his work into optimal health programs either using Youngevity products or in generic forms that I have researched and know work.

Joel D. Wallach, B.S., D.V.M., N.D.

Dr. Wallach has been involved in biomedical research and clinical medicine for 30 years. He received his B.S. Degree from the University of Missouri with a major in animal husbandry (nutrition) and field crops; a D.V.M. (veterinarian) from the University of Missouri; a three year post doctoral fellowship from the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, Washington University; and a N.D. from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Wallach’s research has resulted in the publication of more than 70 peer review reference articles in the field of nutrition and pharmaceutical research; eight multi-author textbooks and authorship of a text/reference book on the subject of comparative medicine (W.B. Saunders Publishing Co., 1983)

Dr Wallach’s research in comparative medicine is based on more than 13,700 cases from the University of Missouri, Iowa State University, the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, Washington University; the St. Louis Zoological Gardens; the Chicago Zoological Gardens; the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia; the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Oregon and Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Hei Long Jiang, Peoples Republic of China. He was a member of NIH site visit team for four years and was a member of the 1968 NSF ad hoc committee that authored the 1968 Animal Welfare Act (humane housing and care of laboratory and captive exotic species); and Consulting Professor of Medicine, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Hei Long Jiang, Peoples Republic of China.

Dr. Wallach is an associate editor of Quantum Medicine, The Journal of the Association of Eclectic Physicians, and was the recipient of the 1988 Wooster Beach Gold Medal Award for a significant breakthrough in the basic understanding of the cause and pathophysiology of Cystic Fibrosis by the Association of Eclectic Physicians. He has won recognition world wide for his important work on the trace mineral selenium and its relationship to the congenital genesis of Cystic Fibrosis.

Dr. Wallach is the author of two, alternative health, self-help books. In the first, entitled, “Let’s Play Doctor,” he reviews over 400 diseases and describes his own naturopathic strategies for dealing with each. In his second, “Rare Earths: Forbidden Cures” he sounds the alarm concerning the lack of minerals in our range and crop soils and demonstrates the relationship between impoverished soils, mineral deficiencies in our diet and degenerative disease. Dr. Wallach is also the author of the now classic, “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie” audio tape. On the tape he advocates for a common sense, low tech, nutritionally based approach to health and longevity. The tape has enormous appeal. As of this writing (2000), over 45 million are in circulation. In addition, Dr. Wallach hosts his own nationally syndicated radio show, frequently appears as a guest on radio and TV talk shows across the country and keeps to a busy schedule of health seminars and lectures.

Nutrigenomics is the science that shows how foods and nutrients control our genes and how they express either optimal health or weakened health as we age.  This is a major breakthrough and it puts us in control of our genes. We are no longer victims of our parents genetic patterns, with no power to alter our state of health as we grow older.

The county has been leading the state in adult vaccinations for months, officials said.

COURTESY PHOTO: WASHINGTON COUNTY - A man receives a COVID-19 vaccine dose at a Washington County-supported community vaccination clinic at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Tigard., Hillsboro Tribune - News Vaccine providers have a plan to close gaps in vaccination rates among racial and ethnic groups, officials say. As vaccine demand drops, Washington County providers shift gears

Washington County this week just reached the 80% threshold for getting shots in arms for its adult residents, according to data from the Oregon Health Authority.

Washington County is not only the first county in Oregon to reach the 80% mark, it has also led the charge with the Beaver State's highest vaccination rates for the past four months, said county spokesperson Mary Sawyers.

Hood River County is just behind in second place, with a 79.6% vaccination rate as of Thursday, Sept. 9. Multnomah County is in third place, with its vaccination rate at 79%.

These figures refer to folks who have received at least one vaccine dose and does not represent those who are fully vaccinated.

COURTESY PHOTO: WASHINGTON COUNTY - Washington County's mobile vaccine team set up at the Forest Grove Farmers Market., Hillsboro Tribune - News People who don't access traditional communication channels still don't have basic information about the vaccine, officials say. WashCo launches mobile vaccine team as COVID-19 cases surge

Sawyers attributes Washington County's high vaccination rates in part to the county's focus on vaccinating harder-to-reach communities, including migrant farmworkers and unsheltered people.

Early on in the pandemic, Washington County officials realized that more than half of COVID-19 cases were being detected among Hispanic or Latino residents, even though just 17% of county residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

By the end of 2020, the first COVID-19 vaccines had been authorized for mass deployment and shipped to Oregon. After that, Washington County officials sketched out a plan to vaccinate a broad cross-section of Washington County's population — the second-largest of any county in Oregon, behind neighboring Multnomah County.

As public health authorities identified "vaccination gaps" emerging between demographic groups this year, the county teamed up with employers and community organizations to try to close them.

"From the beginning of the pandemic, we have focused on vaccinating communities of color and other groups that may have barriers to getting vaccinated," Sawyers said. "This included at our stationary clinics and now at our mobile clinics that take the vaccine to where people work, shop and live."

Sawyers said the county's partnership with the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center — which has locations in Beaverton, Cornelius and Hillsboro, as well as in neighboring Yamhill County — also helped get thousands of shots in arms through vaccination events.

Washington County is ahead of most other counties in vaccination rates for most racial and ethnic minorities, according to OHA data. But even with the county's efforts to close those vaccination gaps, there is still quite a bit of work ahead, Sawyers acknowledged. Vaccination rates hover at 56.6% for Black residents and 58.2% for Latino residents in Washington County, well below the countywide rate of 80%.

Still, those figures surpass the statewide vaccination rates for these populations, with 54.4% of Black Oregonians and 52.2% of Latino Oregonians over 18 having received at least one COVID-19 dose, according to the OHA.

The 80% vaccination threshold is considered by many public health experts to be the minimum requirement to reach herd immunity. But in August, the Infectious Diseases Society of America bumped the threshold for herd immunity to well over 80%, potentially approaching 90%, due to the delta variant.

Experts say the delta strain, which was first detected in India late last year and has spread around the world, is much more contagious and can even be transmitted by people who are vaccinated and asymptomatic.

Although no vaccine offers perfect protection, the three COVID-19 vaccines being used in the United States have been found to be highly effective at preventing serious symptoms and complications of COVID-19, even against the delta variant of the coronavirus.

Washington County's mobile vaccine team continues to travel to neighborhoods throughout the county to meet people where they live. Since their launch last year, the clinics have given out more than 1300 vaccinations.

Zapparoni (Mascarpone Macaroni with Roasted Grape Tomatoes)

Zapitalism to me is one of the best computer games out there yet I doubt anyone I know has even heard of it before let alone played it. That’s probably because Zap is a business simulation game created way back in 1997, but I guess that’s just one of the perks of having an older brother! Our brother is 9 years older than us, but that age gap never gets in the way of all our silly shenanigans (sure makes us feel like the world’s luckiest little sisters!). Growing up with a caring big brother (aka built-in baby sitter) meant midnight gaming sessions and lots of fun times spent as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. Our brother introduced us to just about every electronic game we like and the epitome is Zapitalism.

Zapitalism combines beautifully rendered graphic images in a game of business strategy. You will be able to make deals with the eccentric inhabitants of Zapinalia, invest in stocks & bonds, corner the market and construct megastores. You can also venture out to explore the Archipelago of Mermadan in search of treasure and mysterious relics. The first player to build a retail empire and outwit the competition wins. -Lavamind

6192-6-zapitalism-deluxe6192-11-zapitalism-deluxeHowever given its 20th century roots and ancient Windows XP configuration, we hadn’t been able to play the game since we got rid of our old computer many years ago. This past weekend our brother and sister-in-law came over for the baby shower, but this visit our brother came equipped with what is now our designated “zaptop” (turns out our sister-in-law still kept her Windows XP college laptop)! For the first time in forever, there was nothing in our way and so it was a midnight gaming session of Zapitalism that inspired this dish.

Zapparoni is one of the products you can fill your store with. And unlike bar lickers, cake thrashers, sea froth, and belly bras, it’s usually a “great deal,” up there with wolly bats, gallegoms, weezers, and yaffle cushions. This 5-ingredient macaroni pasta bake is so simple, yet tastes so complex. The roasted grape tomatoes and fresh basil provide bold flavor, while the creamy mascarpone and crispy parmigiano-reggiano exude rich undertones. The perfect blend of indulgent cheeses and tangy tomatos, this zesty macaroni is definitely worthy of being called Zapparoni.

Makes 6 servings2014-08-20 11.41.41

  • 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 2 oz parmigiano reggiano, grated
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, chiffonaded
  • Salt and pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place halved tomatoes on a baking sheet and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, until plumped and juicy.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the macaroni al dente according to the instructions on its box. Drain the pasta, but make sure to reserve a little bit of the hot water (about 2 tbsp).
  3. Return drained pasta to the pot and stir in the mascarpone cheese over low heat until melted. Stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved water, half of the parmigiano reggiano, basil, and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour mixture into a casserole dish and top with the remaining parmigiano reggiano. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2016 closes with more than 50,000 visitors

DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR is the largest floor covering trade show in the Asia Pacific region

This year’s DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR trade fair, which ran from 22 to 24 March, attracted some 1,303 companies from 39 nations, 50,389 visitors (+9%) from over 110 nations at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC).

“These figures once again confirm the leading position DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR enjoys in the Asia-Pacific region. They are also a clear indication of the confidence that the big flooring industry players have in the show as the best platform at which to do business in the region,” said Martin Folkerts, director of Global Fairs at Deutsche Messe as one of the show’s organisers. “The feedback we received from our exhibitors this year was resoundingly positive, with many emphasising the high quality of the visitors and buyers who attended the show. DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR has consistently grown both in terms of size and quality, and we are committed to ensuring this development continues.”

Business matching

This year marked the first time that a North American distributor delegation, consisting 12 of the USA’s most prominent industry representatives, visited DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR. The delegation was co-organised by the Floor Covering Institute LLC, Floor Covering Weekly and The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD). The delegation also took the opportunity to visit a number of the local manufacturing plants of exhibiting Chinese companies.

Events such as the World Flooring Forum shed light on the latest trends and developments in China’s wood flooring market. In addition, the China International WPC Development Forum 2016 provided domestic and international leaders in wood-plastic composites production, raw material supply, engineering, construction and research with a quality platform for wide-ranging dialogue on investment opportunities and industry trends and innovations.

Environmental focus

This year, environmental protection and innovation once gain ranked among the keynote themes of the show – as reflected in programs such as the GreenStep Asia Awards and the InnovAction showcase.

The 4th GreenStep Asia Awards, which were staged in cooperation with Floor Covering Weekly, gave flooring exhibitors a chance to showcase their contribution to sustainable development at all levels. The competition is open to all manufacturers worldwide who have manufacturing facilities in Asia. First prize in the “Green Pinnacle” category went to Weihai Shanhua Carpet Group, while Zhejiang Xingyue Carpet Industry took top honors in the “Green Product” category, and Zhejiang Kingdom Plastics came out on top in the “Green Process” category.

Each year, many companies use the InnovAction innovation platform to showcase their latest products and product developments to the global market. This year, a total of 30 companies were awarded for their innovative products, although only three made it to the very top of the list to take out the “Best of the Best” award: Wuxi Fuxing Carpet in the carpet category, Hangzhou Dasso Technology in the parquet flooring category, and Zhejiang Hailide New Material in the resilient floor coverings category.

Design showcase

This year’s fair featured two design showcases: Cadex and Materia

Cadex is an architecture and design showcase that was co-staged with DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR for the very first time this year. Comprising more than 10 special events, conferences and workshops, it attracted over 50 innovative materials suppliers and some of the biggest architects, interior designers and property developers in the industry.

The Materia showcase was first held in 1998, and its purpose is to foster closer links between architects and producers of new materials. This year’s event, which spanned three days, once again showcased the latest material innovations from around the world for more beautiful, sustainable and high-quality environments.

The next DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will be held from 21 to 23 March 2017.

Shocking words of Prince Harry: the scathing words of those close to Queen Elizabeth II

Prince Harry’s latest statements do not pass within the British royal family … Invited in the Armchair Expert podcast, Prince William’s brother criticized the education his father had given him. If Prince Charles, questioned by a BBC journalist, did not wish to respond to his comments, palace insiders criticized the behavior of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Sources have said that “nothing ever seems to be their fault” after the Duke of Sussex said he wanted to “break the cycle of pain and suffering” of his upbringing with his own children.

During this interview, Prince Harry claimed that his father, Prince Charles, “suffered” as a result of the education given to him by Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and therefore treated him as he did. had been treated. Palace insiders are frustrated that Meghan Markle’s husband continues to speak publicly about his personal relationships with family members. For the Daily Mail, a source criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex saying the latest interview with Archie’s father wouldn’t help reunite the family: “They seem to be making careers talking about their past. is not useful. “

An interview given too soon after Prince Philip’s funeral

Royal biographer Angela Levin, meanwhile, accused Prince Harry of being “incredibly rude” and said the interview was “ruthlessly cruel” to the Queen, who is in mourning over her husband’s death on the 9th. last April. On the set of Good Morning Britain, she said: “He just seems to be going after his family in the most obnoxious and disloyal way. There is some kind of nonsense in there too, or potential nonsense. , because he says Meghan told him to ask for help, but when I interviewed him at length in 2017, I asked him: ‘Are you leaving because Meghan suggested it, she convinced you ‘, he said:’ Absolutely not, she had nothing to do with that, it was William ‘. ” Finally, she added: “There is a lack of understanding of the position of others – poor Prince Charles, who as we saw when the funeral took place was absolutely devastated, and the Queen at 95 years old. bravely went to open Parliament, but you could tell she wasn’t the same queen anymore. She was desperately upset, she adores Harry. It’s indescribable, ruthlessly cruel. “

shapeDTW: shape Dynamic Time Warping

6 Jun 2016  ·  Jiaping Zhao, Laurent Itti ·

Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is an algorithm to align temporal sequences with possible local non-linear distortions, and has been widely applied to audio, video and graphics data alignments. DTW is essentially a point-to-point matching method under some boundary and temporal consistency constraints... Although DTW obtains a global optimal solution, it does not necessarily achieve locally sensible matchings. Concretely, two temporal points with entirely dissimilar local structures may be matched by DTW. To address this problem, we propose an improved alignment algorithm, named shape Dynamic Time Warping (shapeDTW), which enhances DTW by taking point-wise local structural information into consideration. shapeDTW is inherently a DTW algorithm, but additionally attempts to pair locally similar structures and to avoid matching points with distinct neighborhood structures. We apply shapeDTW to align audio signal pairs having ground-truth alignments, as well as artificially simulated pairs of aligned sequences, and obtain quantitatively much lower alignment errors than DTW and its two variants. When shapeDTW is used as a distance measure in a nearest neighbor classifier (NN-shapeDTW) to classify time series, it beats DTW on 64 out of 84 UCR time series datasets, with significantly improved classification accuracies. By using a properly designed local structure descriptor, shapeDTW improves accuracies by more than 10% on 18 datasets. To the best of our knowledge, shapeDTW is the first distance measure under the nearest neighbor classifier scheme to significantly outperform DTW, which had been widely recognized as the best distance measure to date.

What if my child sees something inappropriate online? A guide for parents and kids

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Most parents are aware of the potential dangers to kids online—but the fact is, it’s a digital age and most kids need online access for everything from school to socialization.

We can use “safe search” browsers and parental controls, but what if our kids still encounter something disturbing or inappropriate online? April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, so it’s a good time to educate ourselves—and our kids—about what to do if they see abuse, harassment, or violence on their device.

Here’s how to make sure your child will come to you right away if they see something bad online—and exactly what to do and say.

Explain what to look out for.

One of parents’ biggest worries is that our kids will see something problematic online—and not tell us. So to make sure you stay in the loop, first teach your child what they should look out for—but in an age appropriate way.

As adults, we know that kids might see pictures of child sexual abuse (sometimes called CSAM or child pornography), violent acts, signs of abuse, hate speech, or harassment and bullying. Depending on your kid’s age though, that might sound scary or confusing. Kids might also think that only whatever specific examples we use “count” as inappropriate—so it can help to be a little more general.

Here are kid-friendly things to say:

“The internet is full of fun and interesting things. But not everything there is as safe as it should be. When you’re online, you might see something that’s inappropriate or upsetting.”

“If you find something that makes you feel icky, scares you, or that you think kids probably shouldn’t see, it’s important for you to tell me or another adult you trust right away.”

Next, you’ll want to make sure your kid knows why something that makes them uncomfortable might show up on their screen. Here’s what to say…

“Sometimes bad stuff shows up because the computer misunderstood what you were trying to search for, or a link took you someplace you didn’t mean to go. Sometimes people get curious about something, and before they know it they end up seeing yucky stuff.”

“Other times, a person you know or a stranger might send you something online, ask for a photo, or talk in ways that make you uncomfortable.”

Of course you can “age up” the exact wording for older kids. The idea is to make sure kids know that inappropriate stuff is out there, and they should tell you about it. But how can you be sure they will?

Reassure them.

Make sure your child’s comfortable coming to you when they need to by emphasizing that they’re not to blame and won’t get in trouble:

“No matter how it happens, seeing inappropriate words, videos, or pictures online is not your fault.”

“I’ll NEVER be mad at you for finding something upsetting online. You won’t be in trouble, and I won’t take your device away. I just want you to tell me, so we can handle it together.”

What to do if your child sees something inappropriate:

  • Ask about it. Find out why it made them uncomfortable to determine what support they need.
  • Take action. “Let’s see if we can report this video/post/article so other kids don’t have to see it.” Never reshare problematic content. Even if you’re sharing it in a parenting group with a message like, “I can’t believe this, it’s terrible!” it only serves to boost that content in the online algorithms, which ensure even more people see it.
  • Comfort them. “I’m always here for you, and I’m sorry this was so upsetting. Do you want a hug?”
  • Find an alternative. If it makes your child feel safer, block the problematic site so they won’t run into it again. If the content came from a person, block and report them, too. Then help your child get back on track to find what they were looking for in the first place.

Next steps

  • Be aware of the apps, sites, and platforms your child uses. Bad stuff can show up almost anywhere, but some sites (especially those that allow kids to chat with strangers) are riskier than others.
  • Finally, if you or your child find suspected online enticement, abuse, or sexual exploitation of a child, obscene material sent to a child, a misleading domain name or misleading words or images on the internet that lead to such content—file a report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) online at, or call 1-800-843-5678.

Check out the $6-million yacht that Tom Brady is going to buy

Tom Brady is getting a bigger boat. It seems he can’t get enough of the Tampa bay. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback appeared on a livestream for Wajer Yachts to talk about his purchase of the Wajer 77.

Brady already owns a Wajer 55s, which he bought upon arriving to Tampa. Brady brought the boat to the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl parade. Yup, Brady infamously tossed the Lombardi Trophy from his boat to another. It’s that boat.

Well, the Wajer 55s is worth roughly $2 million. And the Wajer 77, which Brady has preordered, is worth $6 million.

Here’s a look at that boat.

Not a bad ride.

Almost halfway

Two years…really?  Is that an eternity, or does it seem like no time at all?  It seems like…it seems like I’ve been on a merry-go-round that not only hasn’t slowed down in almost two years but occasionally cranks up to “dizzying,” and it feels like we all could use a rest.

Let’s see how smart I was two years ago (“Eyes Open, moving ahead” Nov. 11, 2016): I said, we owe it to the new president to give him a chance to perform in office, to get up to speed and be the best he can be and live up to the responsibilities of the office, blah blah blah…something like that.  I still think that was the only right attitude to take at the time; so, where are we now?

Well, the only real “important legislation” I can think of that this president has passed was the ill-considered December 2017 tax cut, and last month it was reported that it has contributed to the fact that today we have a $779 billion federal budget deficit, exactly the thing Republicans used to cry about—when Democrats were in power. (Now, not so much?  Nope; now, not at all.  E.J. Dionne likens today’s GOP “tax policy” to an artful scam pulled by some high-end grifters.)  Anything more recent?

BFD Trump (big freakin’ dealmaker), who campaigned on stopping the bleeding in the American car industry and promised to save the steel industry, has pretty much watched dumbfounded as there’s been no resurrection in steel and, this week, General Motors announced plans for plant closings and more than 14,000 layoffs to prepare for the future in sight of a present in which Trump tariffs have raised its costs.  (Yours and mine, too.)  And when he talked to the Wall Street Journal, long-time friend to Republican presidents, Trump demonstrated he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

(That extends beyond economics: he displayed the breadth of his ignorance warped view of the world when he talked to the Washington Post on several topics, including his pals in Russia and Saudi Arabia and his own Fed chairman.)

Thirteen federal government agencies released the latest report on the on-going investigation into climate change, in which they find many previously-predicted negative results of the climate changes that have already resulted from human activity are coming true and warn of “a profound threat to Americans’ well being.”  But Trump says he doesn’t believe the report, so, that’s that—nothing to worry about here, everybody, go about your business.

(Not so fast, conservatives: S.E. Cupp writes that it’s “both willfully ignorant and negligent not to acknowledge that there is in fact a scientific consensus that the Earth is warming and man is responsible for much of it” and suggests we get about doing something.)

Of course, there’s endless amusement in watching Trump twist helplessly in the wind waiting for another shoe to drop in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, which has been moving along pretty briskly, thank you very much.  It just secured a second guilty plea from Trump’s former personal and business attorney, Michael Cohen, who now admits he lied to Congress about the ongoing effort of the Trump Organization to arrange a deal for a Trump Tower in Moscow, an effort (he now concedes) that was still active even during the latter stages of the 2016 presidential campaign—a time during which the candidate himself repeatedly denied he had any business dealings with the Russian government or Russian businessmen, because, you know, people would have frowned at that.

(The Mueller investigation is not a witch hunt, unless you count as witches all the people on the list of “Trump people who have admitted criminal activity.”  Also, I read an interesting piece in Wired that argues the Mueller investigation could be close to an end, and has been leaving its conclusions strewn along the way in various court filings that no hack political appointee acting attorney general can ever hide from us even if he succeeds in firing Mueller himself.)

Wow.  And all of that…all of that is just some of what has happened in the past week.  Doesn’t even touch on the constant and inveterate lying from Trump and his press secretary and other subordinates and acolytes.  Gotta tell you, I know that what he says matters since he’s the president of the USA and all, but I don’t understand why anyone ever believes anything that comes out of his mouth.  He says what he wants to be true, or needs to be true, at the time he’s saying it; there’s seems to be no positive correlation between any statement made and discernible factual truth, nor any need even for niggling and inconvenient consistency between what he said today and anything he said before.  Ever.

I look forward to a beginning of some checks and balances of the Executive branch from the House of Representatives in the new year, and I will say that I hope the Republicans who serve in the current Congress are ashamed of the way they have blown off their constitutional responsibility and rolled over for this guy.  I have no doubt that Trump is deserving of being removed from office, but I don’t know that in the current circumstance that an impeachment effort would be worthwhile, what with Republicans still controlling the Senate and the alternate-facts-Fox-universe unlikely to see the light.  But Democrats could take a lesson from history:

The president of the United States was both a racist and a very difficult man to get along with.

He routinely called blacks inferior. He bluntly stated that no matter how much progress they made, they must remain so. He openly called critics disloyal, even treasonous. He liberally threw insults like candy during public speeches. He rudely ignored answers he didn’t like. He regularly put other people into positions they didn’t want to be in, then blamed them when things went sour. His own bodyguard later called him “destined to conflict,” a man who “found it impossible to conciliate or temporize.”

But the nation’s politicians simply had to interact with Andrew Johnson, for he had become the legitimate, constitutionally ordained chief executive upon Abraham Lincoln’s death by assassination.

Their path for managing this choleric man reveals that a president need not be kicked out of office to be removed from holding a firm grip on the reins of power. It also shows that people around the president, from Congress to the Cabinet, have many more tools at their disposal than, say, writing an anonymous New York Times op-ed to stop a leader they consider reckless or dangerous.

Read how they did it in this terrific piece by David Priess in Politico.  And get ready for the second half.

Diagnosing Baby Donald

Franklin Roosevelt took office during the Great Depression eager to try out potential remedies for the economic crisis, so he set an arbitrary mark of the first 100 days in office as a goal for measuring progress.  Ever since, journalists looking for a ready-made story have used the excuse of a new president’s first 100 days to issue a report card on his or her progress in enacting campaign promises into law.  This week President Bannon and his team started off downplaying the significance of the silly benchmark, calling it “an artificial barrier” and a “ridiculous standard” that’s “not very meaningful.”  And then spent the rest of the week in “a flurry of action on health care, taxes and the border wall to show just how much he has done in the first 100 days—amplified by a White House program of first-100-days briefings, first-100-days receptions, a first-100-days website and a first-100-days rally.”

“As with so much else, [Donald] Trump is a study in inconsistency,” said Robert Dallek, the presidential historian. “One minute he says his 100 days have been the best of any president, and the next minute he decries the idea of measuring a president by the 100 days.”

What do others say?  While some think this president has done some good things, I haven’t found anyone outside of the White House who would completely agree with the administration’s estimate of its own effectiveness.

The president stated flatly to an audience in Kenosha that “No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days;” PolitiFact responds: “Trump has had some achievements in office, but at the very least, they are much less numerous and far-reaching than those of Roosevelt, the standard against whom all presidents are measured. In more recent years, other presidents, including Obama, have accomplished more in their first 100 days than Trump has, historians say. We rate the claim False.” is willing to give the new president credit for his success—at making money for himself, his family, and his businesses while “serving” the American people.

“Trump isn’t failing. He and his family appear to be making money hand over fist. It’s a spectacle the likes of which we’ve never seen in the United States, and while it may end in disaster for the Trumps someday, for now it shows no real sign of failure,” reports Vox, reminding the reader that Trump is still able to personally access profits from his businesses and that his actions as president are actually leading to government expenditures that go straight into his own pocket; for example:

Like many previous presidents, he golfs. And like all presidents who golf, when he hits the green, he is accompanied by Secret Service agents. The agents use golf carts to get around the courses. And to get their hands on the golf carts, they need to rent them from the golf courses at which the president plays. All of this is fundamentally normal — except for the fact that Trump golfs at courses he owns. So when the Secret Service spends $35,000 on Mar-a-Lago golf cart rentals, it’s not just a normal security expense — Trump is personally profiting from his own protection.

Grading a president on how many of his policies have been enacted into law puts his 100-days rating at the mercy of the Congress which must pass those bills.  Although his ability to work with the legislative branch, rather than to try to dictate to it, is a valuable guide to a president’s effectiveness, maybe that isn’t the most straightforward way to tell if he’s doing a good job.

And let’s not indulge the argument here that all of the things Trump said that he wanted to do are bad things; William Saletan argues in Slate that the better way to judge is to consider if he’s done what he said he would do:

You can be sick of low wages and lost jobs, disgusted with the Clintons, angry about Obamacare, and wary of open borders without being a monster. My argument to you isn’t that Trump is bad because he addresses these concerns. My argument is that he addresses them badly. If you want better jobs, better health care, better border security, a stronger America, less corruption, and less debt, Trump is taking you in the wrong direction. And he’ll keep making things worse until you stop him.

Saletan finds that in Trump’s first 100 days  he has failed in his promises to fight for the working man, to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better, to strengthen our borders, to reduce the national debt (he’s increased it!), to drain the swamp, or to honor the military.

What we’ve learned in Trump’s first 100 days, in short, is that he’s bad at the job. Maybe last fall you decided to give him a chance. Or maybe you felt you had to choose between two bad candidates, and you could only stop one of them. So you voted against Hillary, and you got this instead.

You don’t have to stand for it. Call your senators and your member of Congress. Demand better health care and a fairer tax system. Go to their town halls. Tell them to oppose Trump when he doesn’t do what’s right for the country. If they don’t listen to you, organize and vote them out next year. Trump’s first 100 days have been bad. We don’t need another four years like them.

(Even Trump is surprised at how he’s done so far: “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”)

There’s little reason for us to believe things are going to get better, or normal-er, more like what we’ve been used to with every previous president, all on their own.  Not when you consider that the erratic, impulsive, self-promoting behavior we’ve all been witness to is at such a degree that a group of mental health professionals has felt the need to ignore a portion of the American Psychiatric Association’s code of ethics to issue a warning about the president’s mental health and to offer suggestions for how we all deal with the fallout.

Let us stipulate that it is not known for a fact that Trump has any kind of psychiatric diagnosis. Let us also stipulate that, to many observers, the most powerful man in the world displays many of the definitional traits of one disorder in particular: Narcissistic Personality Disorder, characterized by behavior that is impulsive, dramatic and erratic. According to the Mayo Clinic, people with NPD “come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious,” require “constant admiration” and belittle people they “perceive as inferior.” This grandiose, bullying shell hides profound insecurity, so “anything that may be perceived as criticism” can provoke “rage or contempt.”

Baby Donald is a child of privilege who’s always been able to buy whatever he wanted, whether a new toy or a new person in his orbit (or a new wife) or a way out of trouble.  He’s been surrounded by yes-men-and-women who rely on him for their livelihoods, so he has precious little experience of having to deal with a differing opinion.  When he opens his mouth his instinct is to educate the listener about his own extraordinary self, and to state as incontrovertible that which he wishes in that moment to be true, without regard for whether the statement is consistent with previous ones or with any known facts.

In reality, it’s not just Congress or world leaders or White House staffers who are in Trump’s orbit and at the whim of his personality traits. We all are. [New Jersey therapist and author] Wendy Behary says that when dealing with such a person, the best defense is to read deeply about psychopathology. Ultimately, she says, understanding the dynamics of personality disorders will help make what seems unpredictable predictable. The more people know, the less they will wonder, “How could he do that?” and come to understand, “How could he not?”

Why we should care about income inequality

I don’t want to get into the argument of the 1% versus the 99% because I think the issue, unaddressed, will hurt 100% of us. The issue is income inequality in the United States, and the good news is I’m not asking anyone to trust my economic arguments. I’m a dope, after all—a journalism major from a state university in the South who never focused on economic theory much beyond the law of supply and demand. But I know what makes sense, and Timothy Noah’s series in Slate does.

The 10-part series on income inequality published in September 2010 has helped me understand the issues, and understand why they matter. It’s not a question of the vast majority of Americans being jealous of the terrific success of others, or of them trying to take away anything the rich have earned. In a current discussion of this subject on Slate, Noah says “Let me start by conceding a point that conservatives often make: Yes, a certain amount of income inequality is necessary in a capitalist system. You have to let the market reward effort and skill. But a system in which inequality of incomes constantly increases over time is worrisome.”

That’s what’s happening in America today: the inequality of incomes is constantly increasing (the series drills down deep into the numbers to prove that it’s more dramatic now than ever), and Noah argues that “creates alienation.”

Income earners at the median have not shared in America’s prosperity. They’ve actually seen their incomes go down (after inflation) during the past decade, and over the past three decades their increases seem pitiful compared both with people earning top incomes (and here I mean not just the top 1 percent but the top 10 and even 20 percent) and with people at the median during the postwar era. For a long time economists said: Wait until productivity rebounds. Then working families will get their share. But when productivity rebounded like crazy in the aughts, working families saw no reward.

What this means is that if you’re at the median you have no positive reason to care how the economy does. Your only motivation is fear—if the economy does really badly you may lose your job. But there’s no upside.

I think this situation has a lot to do with why there’s so much suspicion of institutions that knit the country together—Congress, the media, etc. Logically the suspicion should be directed at the rich, but nobody knows what Lloyd Blankfein looks like. Everybody knows what Barack Obama and John Boehner look like. So people rage against Washington, and government, and you get both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. These groups are quite different in their political orientation, but both groups express contempt for democratic processes.

Read the series: Noah digs through the numbers that show the historical trends of income inequality, and explores the theories for what’s responsible for today’s situation–and he doesn’t just end up blaming Congress or presidents, or Republicans or Democrats, or Wall Street or the educational system, or trade policy or labor unions or immigrants.

Income distribution in the United States is more unequal than in Guyana, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and roughly on par with Uruguay, Argentina, and Ecuador. Income inequality is actually declining in Latin America even as it continues to increase in the United States. Economically speaking, the richest nation on earth is starting to resemble a banana republic.

Noah’s current book “The Great Divergence” grew out of the research done for the 2010 Slate series, which you can read here for free.

This article details how to comply with Facebook’s contest rules within the United States and Canada.  It is not a substitute for, nor intended to be, legal advice.  If you have questions, consult with a legal professional or use a managed Facebook contest platform.

Facebook contests and sweepstakes can be a great way to attract attention and promote your page.  They can also create legal problems if you don’t follow the rules and regulations.  Not only does Facebook have its own set of rules, but so does the government.

In fact, there can be different regulations depending on the type of promotion you want to run.  Contests are promotions where a winner is based on merit, such as answering a question correctly or voting.  Sweepstakes winners are determined by random drawing or luck.

Facebook Rules

Facebook promotions must include the following items:

  1. Official Rules for your contest
  2. Terms of the offer and eligibility requirements, such as age limits or residency limitations
  3. An announcement that Facebook is not sponsoring, endorsing, administrating, or associated with the promotion
  4. A complete release of Facebook for any liability regarding the contest by each participant

You can read Facebook’s guidelines here to conduct contests, or to set up a Facebook contest app or Facebook competition app.

Promotions can be included on pages or within apps on Facebook.  You may not use your personal timeline or friend connections to run the promotion.  For example, Facebook forbids contests that ask you to share on your timeline to enter, or share on your friend’s timeline to get additional entries.  The social media platform also bans tagging friends in posts to gain entry.

Make sure you check state or province laws on contests as well.  Rules and regulations are different in different places depending on jurisdiction.

Facebook will not help with your contest.  By conducting a promotion on Facebook, you are doing so at your own risk.

Legal Requirements & Online Contest Laws

Such promotions are regulated by a variety of governmental agencies.  If you think it’s not that big of a deal, check out some of the penalties levied against companiesthat didn’t follow the laws on sweepstakes apps, giveaway apps, or social media contests.

Steven Bennett, a partner at the Jones Day law firm has put together a great primer on sweepstakes and contest laws in the U.S. The Ontario Bar Associations has a similar guide for rules and regulations in Canada.  You’ll still want to check with your state, local, and federal agencies for compliance:

United States

There’s a Better Way to Handle Promotions

If this sounds confusing or complex, it can be.  One way to avoid the hassles is to use a third-party platform or marketing pro that can streamline the process and make sure you’re following all the rules and regulations.

Structure Retrofits

PAXCON® is able to improve the blast resistance of lightweight modular structures. For the blast test below, PAXCON® PX-3350 polymer was applied to both the outside and inside of a 10-foot by 20-foot construction trailer. 500 pounds of ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) explosive was used to generate 12 psi pressures on the trailer. As can be seen below, the trailer walls underwent large deflections and the PAXCON® polymer protective coating had some tears in the membrane, but virtually no wall fragments entered the occupied space.

These types of structures, characterized by timber stud walls, exterior aluminium siding and interior veneer-plywood panelling, are widely used during extended deployments, such as our forward installations in Southwest Asia.

It seems many marketers aren’t using the right methods and techniques to engage audiences and consumers. It may seem as if this is something marketers would be able to do easily, but with the changing attitudes of consumers, it can become difficult to keep track of the latest tricks and trends to keep them engaged with your brand…

Consumers are also becoming less trusting, and the way they want to consume information is changing too. Brands need to be more creative than ever, both in terms of how they reach customers and the content they reach them with.

If brands want to reach outside the walled gardens of their usual customers, extra efforts need to be made.

In a recent webinar, Outbrain provided a case study with Elvie, the femtech brand, showing the award-winning campaign which meant Elvie optimised its campaigns and tapped into an audience of over a billion potential customers, generating sales on a set CPA with a keen eye on ROI.

Outbrain ran watchers through exactly how you target incremental audiences on all the platforms potential customers frequent whilst simultaneously gaining new customers.

The webinar is now available for free download – it will provide you with real-world examples and insights into how to go about implementing successful methods and campaigns for your brand.

Daily Rites

A/N: Will edit this as required.

This is where my rites will be collected. I’m still in the process of gathering together which rites I will put up here, but I’ll make a firm list of them once I’ve decided. I’ll be putting my own daily rites up, my ritual purifications, a weekly rite for Ra, and an empty ‘fill in the blanks’ Kemetic ritual outline that could be used to structure a rite if you’re stuck. And whatever else I can find/come up with.

Also, I do tend to include Sobek quite a lot in my rites, and some of the hymns I’ve written for Him and Heru-sa-Aset reference this UPG of mine. I have found only one or two ancient hymns to Sobek that have been translated, which is why I usually just write my own. And why they tend to reference my own UPG and experiences. As such, I write about only the face Sobek shows me, and do not presume He shows this same face to everyone else, because I’m pretty sure He doesn’t.

I don’t really intend for this to be a proper Kemetic 101 type of thing, though. I don’t have the capacity for that, and anyway Shine has covered the basics in getting started as a Kemetic better than I possibly could. I just want to share my rites for the time being, and at some point, I might cobble them all into a book of some sort when I have the time and inclination. But for now, I just want to get these things up. The rest will follow.

A Caveat: Some of my rites are particularly tailored to my own particular practice, and may not resonate with everyone. Also, all the rites here are by no means, a) authentic historical rites, b) The Only One Right Way To Do Things, and c) set in stone. They are modern adaptations, and are only one way to do things. I totally encourage you to take these rites and play around with them. Tailor them to your own path and the Gods you are closest to.

List of Available Rites

Kemetic Rites:

Daily Rites:

1) Simple Kemetic Daily Devotions – designed for beginners, those who like it simple, for when you’re travelling, and for anyone looking for a simple, short, informal, daily rite. Can be customised according to needs.

2) The Morning Temple Rite – A more formal style of daily devotional rite

3) The Evening Temple Rite – A more formal style of daily devotional rite

4) A Daily Rite For The Morning Star (Heru-sa-Aset) – a short, semi-formal devotional rite to Heru-sa-Aset as the morning star.

5) A Daily Rite For The Evening Star (Sobek) – a short, semi-formal devotional rite to Sobek as the evening star.

Weekly Rites:

1) A Weekly Rite In Praise of Ra – does what it says on the tin. A proper ritual using my generic solitary Kemetic ritual structure.

2) The Weekly Temple Rite – a more formal weekly temple-style rite for the Shedety gods.

General Rites:

1) All-Purpose Generic Solitary Kemetic Rite – a basic template for a long Kemetic style rite, best suited for weekly or monthly rites, or for festival rites. Can be customised to suit your needs. Sbould take between 45mins to an hour, depending on how you customise it.

2) All-Purpose Generic Shortform Solitary Kemetic Rite – a shorter form of the above generic Kemetic rite for solitary practitioners, designed for simple, short rites of about 20 minutes, depending on how you customise it.

3) A Kemetic High Day Rite – uses a loose ADF-druidry style of ritual framework, but in a purely Kemetic context.

Miscellaneous Rites:

1) Sobek Execration Rite – a Kemetic execration rite invoking Sobek the Rager, to get rid of that which is no longer needed.

2) The Lamentations of Set and Nit for the Transgender Dead – written for the Trans Rite of Elevation in 2015.

Coming soon: monthly household rites, a ritual for ma’at, and maybe some other bits and pieces.

Graeco-Kemetic Rites:

1) Graeco-Kemetic Morning Rite – a daily devotional rite invoking Hestia, Kheper-Ra-Temu, Sobek&Heru-sa-Aset, and Aset-Nut, intended to be done in the morning. I use this every day, along with the accompanying Evening Rite below.

2) Graeco-Kemetic Evening Rite – a daily devotional rite invoking Hestia, Kheper-Ra-Temu, Sobek&Heru-sa-Aset, and Aset-Nut, intended to be done in the evening. I use this every day, usually in the late evening, together with the morning rite.

3) Graeco-Roman-Kemetic Household Rites – a short household and personal god devotional set for morning and evening. Includes Hekate, Bast, Ianus, and Wesir-Ra, Sobek, and Aset.

Coming soon: Descriptions of the gestures that go with the two devotionals, a page on the silent version of the devotionals, and whatever else I can think of.

One comment on “Daily Rites

  1. […] can either pull a pre-existing daily rite (1 2 3 4) or you could create your own. When creating your own rites, be considerate of limitations of space […]

Spankings - give and get
username sex age sexual seeking
RobBham Male 59 Gay Play partner - switch
I am interested in giving and/or getting REAL spankings. When giving, I respect all limits but looking to give or get REAL spankings with or without roleplay. REAL spankings do hurt and leave the bottom, red, hot, stinging and sore. The recipient may be squirming, kicking, yelling and begging - and perhaps crying REAL tears. Prefer to spank guys who are my age or younger [must be 18 or older] and get spanked by guys who are 50 or younger [this is a preference not a requirement]. Also prefer guys who are reasonably height/weight proportionate [a few extra pounds is okay]. If you are interested, please tell me about yourself including your age, stats and your spanking interests. If you are in the area or planning to travel to the area, let's talk. I also like to travel - so it might be possible to arrange a meeting.
