Strangled Charity

I have a decidedly dumb dilemma. Books. Too many of them. Well, more accurately I have too many uncorrected proofs. Nearly 70 different titles. In the beginning…we’re talking 2006..I was asked to join LibraryThing’s Early Review program. Here’s how it works: ever month LT posts a list of new books to be published and you request one to be reviewed before publication. I have been honored to “win” nearly 70 early publications and I have reviewed them all. Well, let me clarify. I have faithfully reviewed every title I have received. I’m still waiting for two…

In the beginning it was a pride thing. I was so thrilled to be asked to join this program that I saved every single book I was asked to review. I wanted to keep an entire collection of “librarythings” to mark the accomplishment. But now they are taking over! Ironically, the two favorites I wanted to keep I loaned away and never saw again (The Translator and Losing Clementine). But, back to the books I can’t keep. I argue with myself and moi about what to do all the time.

Here’s how it goes:
Me: We donate them to a charity?
Myself: It’s uncorrected proof. No one wants to read an unfinished product.
Me: We could donate them to a library?
Moi: You wrote tags, notes and stuff all through them. You underlined and dog eared pages. (Shame on you, librarian!)
Me: We could give them to friends?
Myself: And how would you decide who gets what? Think of that Orgasmic Pregnancy one! Who would get that?
Me: We could offer them up free to anyone interested near and far? FaceBook? They would just pay my shipping costs?
Myself: And what if people don’t send you $$ to mail them? You are trying to renovate your kitchen, remember?
Me: We could throw them out?
Moi: You would hate yourself and chase after the recycling truck to bring them back.
Me: We could just keep them?
Myself: Out of the question. You don’t hold onto books unless you love them. You are running out of room with things you don’t love.
Me: I do hate clutter.
Moi: See?

So. What to do? Maybe when the weather gets warmer I’ll set up an alfresco book store with a big ole “Free” sign and see what happens. It could be a study in sociology. Do people like uncorrected proofs? Would they mind my in-page musings? Do people like free no matter what? And who will take that Orgasmic Pregnancy book?

Yes You Can!

Drake, Jane and Ann Love. Yes You Can!: Your Guide to Becoming an Activist. Ontario: Tundra Books, 2010.

Right away I have to say I wouldn’t have classified this as “juvenile” literature. The language might be a little simplistic, definitely geared toward young adults, but the message is something we should all sit up and take notice of no matter what our age: if the world around you makes you sick do something. It’s the age-old promise, “you CAN make a difference!” But first you have to DO something.

Yes You Can is a how-to manual of sorts. Each chapter covers a different step to becoming an activist including an example of someone taking that particular step. The histories of organizations such as Amnesty International and Save the Children illustrate what can happen if the right steps are taken successfully. For every chapter there is a section on the historical time line of that step in action. There is also a section on the accomplishments as well as the challenges called, “Milestones and Setbacks” which put everything into perspective. Almost like a textbook there is a checklist to test what the reader has (or hasn’t learned). My favorite piece of advice was “know your cause inside and out.” The ability to see both sides of any argument can go a long way in the effort to sway opinion or make a change.

My only sticking point? This classification of juvenile literature. Why juvenile? It really should be “for all ages” because the vocabulary used in Yes You Can! is not consistent. There is talk of “family” and “classmates” in one chapter and “colleagues” in another. I don’t know any child who would refer to his or her peer as a colleague.

Broken Beautiful

I was invited to a Girls’ Night In last Friday. It sounded amazing. Pedicures, manicures, massage, pampering, girly time. Despite the temptation of all those pedicures and manicures I concentrated on another cure. By 5:30pm I was hitting the streets training for Just ‘Cause. I don’t think I can call walking “training” without a little smile on my face, but after five miles my hips told me differently. They gently reminded me I may not be able to finish twenty let alone times three. Doesn’t matter. I’m here for the cure. I’m broken but I’m still beautiful.

The Sunday sunshine saw me out again. This time I had kisa drop me off at the public library. I’d walk home from there. 5.5 miles if I did it right. I’m noticing my new neighborhood. My new town is beautiful but in a very broken way. Bottles dropped by alcoholics who have had more than their share. Gamblers casting off their loser scratch cards by the hundreds. Flattened things. Unrecognizable things. Dirty things. Things that make my eyes slide away. My favorite moment: a young cat peers out from under a sodden, mangled box with worry in his eyes. I smile with conspiracy. Have no fear. I won’t give you away. Stay stone still and no one will take you away to anywhere. We will walk on by. Promise.

I have decided there are more important things than worrying about what everyone else is doing. I watch people become sulky and sullen when they don’t get what they want and I’ve decided it’s none of their business anyway. Instead, I will pour my energy into something more worthwhile. Petty you is not pretty to me. Everyone will be in for a shock. Maybe I’ll get that pedicure after all. In pink. Then I can say I am living it right. Broken, but beyond beautiful.

Cancer Come Get Me

Carver, Raymond. “What the Doctor Said.” All of Us, New York: Vintage Contemporaries, 2000.

“What the Doctor Said” is about a patient receiving word from his (?) doctor that he has cancer, a cancer so lethal the doctor “stopped counting” the tumors on one lung. You can’t pray but it won’t make a difference. It’s heart breaking and stark. The message is beyond clear. You. Are. Going. To. Die. No bones about it. No hope. No cure. No way out. Imagine that. You are D-E-A-D.

This poem is perfect timing for me. I have mentioned before I have signed up for a cancer walk. 60 miles in three days. The attitude is yeah-yeah another charity. I’ve even gotten an eye roll. I hear the words: So what? Big freakin’ deal. I shouldn’t take it personally, but it still amazes me. No one has asked how they can help. No one has asked ‘how can we donate to the cause?’ They can’t wrap their brains around the fact that this walk could save a life. This walk, this dollar donated might make a difference. It’s amazing. It’s as if the world has become cynical enough to say “you won’t make a difference so I won’t throw my money away.”

What happens when you get a life threatening illness? What happens when you are told you will die? How does it make you feel to have someone say it won’t help you? The attitude is “so why don’t you go ahead and die? It will be painful but just die because I can’t make a difference. I won’t make a difference.”

Drives me nuts.

For a Reason

It’s like a mantra. Things happen for a reason. Things happen for a reason. Things happen for a reason. I know this to be true. We didn’t succeed with the first few houses because they were not ours to have. Something bigger and better lay at the end of Ivy. The timing was all wrong in November. February couldn’t be more perfect. Things happen for a reason.

When my friend decided not to walk the twenty miles for Project Bread. I was not surprised, yet disappointed all the same. It took me a day to think things through. Would I walk without? Would I want to? It took me a week to bail myself out. Things happen for a reason. In reality, walking for hunger is a good cause for someone else. I am wedded to the crusade against cancer and domestic abuse. Been there, done that. Keep doing this. I decided to walk away from the Project Bread walk and find my Just Cause. 60 miles in three days. For breast cancer. This I can do. This I don’t mind doing on my own. I walk for Nor. I walk for me. This is the walk I am meant to walk.

When my friend of 35 years had a heart attack I had mixed emotions. A long history of ups and downs, goods and bads clouded my real emotion – fear. You don’t want people your own age to die. It’s not your time so it shouldn’t be theirs. Butbutbut, things happen for a reason. For the past three months I have wallowed in self indulgences. Since Thanksgiving I have been giving into temptations of every persuasion. Fat and lazy, I have become. When someone told me I looked beautiful I knew it was a lie. A sweet lie, but a lie none the less. I’m heavy. My heart failing friend woke selfish me, myself & moi up. Things happen for a reason. As soon as this house thing happens I am running back to healthy. I swear.

When a good, good friend brought up a painful memory it was hard to face it. Hard to take ownership of it and say yes, I really did do that. It’s unimaginable now, but yes, I really, really did that. Blame game. Pointing you out for no reason other than to strike out. Things happen for a reason. I’m glad you brought up the past and that awful time. I’m still struggling with what happened and more importantly, why butbutbut I’m done burying that past. I can dig it up and say I take responsibility for being so awful to you. I take all the blame for the blame game. It wasn’t you. Never was you. Sorry I said it was you. I’m seeing things better now that I’m so removed.

Just ‘Cause

I think I found my next charity event. In memory of Noreen.

January Was…

January started off and ended with a head cold (damn you, kisa), a really nice dinner party, a re-commitment to the houses HOUSE (glutton for punishment that I am), a re-commitment to charities with a big one – training for a 20 mile walk for Project Bread, a huge re-commitment to friendships and huge changes at the library. For books it was:

  • Death Comes to the Archbishop by Willa Cather in honor of New Mexico becoming a state in January.
  • Red Death by Walter Mosely in honor of Walter’s birthday being in January
  • Biggest Elvis by P.F. Kluge in honor of both Elvis and P.F. celebrating their birthdays in January.
  • Devices and Desires by P.D. James ~ in honor of mystery month.
  • The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer by Carol Hill
  • Edith Wharton: a Biography by R.W.B. Lewis ~ in honor of Edith’s birthday on January 24th.
  • The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman ~ in honor of Barbara’s birthday.

For fun:

  • The Letters by Luanne Rice and Joseph Monninger ~ a story that partially takes place on Monhegan. How could I resist? This is the blog that was plagarized by some dumb-azz.
  • 30 pages of Nutritional Wisdom ~ a Christmas gift from my sister.

So I didn’t get a LibraryThing Early Review book in January. That’s not a big deal. I have certainly gotten my fair share over the course of the program so I’m not complaining. I do have to admit, I feel a little guilty. For the first time ever, I am really late publishing the review for the last ER book. Maybe that had something to do with it…who knows?

ps~ I did get one for February, or so I am told! 🙂

Accidental Walk Two

I didn’t mean to walk today. Wow. That sounded weird. Weird and incredibly. What I meant to say was I wasn’t supposed to put in a training walk for Project Bread today. I have a partner for this endeavor and I would prefer to put in the walks with her. But, here’s the deal. I have had a sore throat to the point of pain for almost a week. Someone with a lot of medical credentials at the end of her name asked me if I thought not being able to swallow for a week was normal. Okay, she had a point. I had been living on a “hot” diet for a week – anything cold killed my throat. I wanted nothing more than another week in bed.

Instead I found myself on the treadmill. Trying to read and walk at the same time. I wanted to walk two miles just to say I did. Laundry spinning behind me. Snow falling outside. Kisa on his way home. Me, trying to read The Biggest Elvis, book bouncing up and down. Just to say I did. I ended up walking to a program called “Rolling Hills.” Alternating speed, alternating incline. It was funny, trying to balance the book while all this was going on. In the end it was 35 minutes, 1.6 miles…and no sore throat. Whle I didn’t make two miles I’m psyched. I think I could get used to this walking thing.

Project Hunger Walk One

Project Hunger Walk One – No Laughing Matter.

Gone are the days I can hitch a ride without feeling selfstupid. I hate inconveniencing anyone. I hate relying on anyone. Carpooling with kisa is completely different. We both end up in the same place each night. When it’s all said and done he’s always going my way anyway.
This night was different. She needed me to get her to the gym and I needed her to drive me there. Worked out perfectly that we could work out together. Truth be told, I’m more out of practice than out of shape when it comes to being in a gym. Signing in, finding an empty locker, scanning the cardio equipment for something not in use and a little less than out of order and never mind finding two together.
She got the treadmill in front of me and I ignored the people to the right and left. Or tried to. What is it about treadmills so close together? Like bald tires on black ice my eyes kept sliding over to the chick chugging along beside me. She wasn’t running…yet. But, she was cruising. To avoid further jealousies I busied myself with starting my workout. At first glance I couldn’t figure out my machine. It’s like reading a book in French for hours and then trying to read German. Everything looks nothing short of hieroglyphics. My treadmill at home is completely different than the machine I was now trying to decipher. Sensing complete ridiculousness I pressed “quick on” and started moving.
Speaking of silly, it felt completely stupid not to run. It took everything I had not to crank up the speed to at least a casual jog, an offhand trot. Walking seemed…well…slow. So slow! Out of boredom I pretended I was walking in my grandparents’ day. Ten miles. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways. Then, slowly, I started to feel shinsplints. My ankles started to ache. I wasn’t making fun of not running anymore. This was actually going to take some work. Suddenly this walking thing was no laughing matter.

So, seriously: 2.2 miles/35 minutes. So it begins.

And So It Begins…Again

Every once in a while an opportunity comes along that seems almost too perfect to pass up. They are the moments that grab you by all the attention you have; so much so that you can’t look away.

I was on Face trying to save face. Normally, as my sister can tell you, I fly under the radar on FB. If she catches me “on” she considers it just that…catching me. Then she chats. Most of the time I don’t mind. It’s early morning and no one will notice. But, as a rule I don’t spend more than a minute looking at my own face. I say a few things to other faces and I’m outta there. But, back to the other night. I allowed myself to be “caught” by four different people (none of them being my sister, go figure)…for almost two hours.
When I was finally let go I came away committed. And with that commitment came the profound understanding that not only was I back on the TrainingForSomethingBig bandwagon, but that I was actually happy about it. And what’s more – I was looking forward to every little thing about it.

So, here’s the deal. We are walking for Project Bread. 20 miles. May 3, 2009. You read that right. Walking. 20 miles. I have kisa on the brain when I think about running anything more than five. I see his stern face and his No.Remember.Your.Knee look. It’s a look of concern. It’s a look of caring. But, it’s also an I’ll Kick Your Azz look. He was the one who had to put up with me directly after The Fall.

Duly noted. So we walk.

Lending and Learning

This weekend was a chance to help. Myself. Saturday was all about carving a pumpkin to make me happy. Sunday was walking 5 miles for Baystate’s Rays of Hope Breast Cancer Charity Walk then having good girl time (as opposed to bad?)…

I am making a vow to walk the Rays of Hope every year. I may not walk as part of a team again (too much pressure to want to stay together), but I will definitely make this an annual thing. I will never, ever call attention to myself for the hurts I have faced but I am proud of the healing just the same. This walk was just what I needed. Maybe a certain someone will want to join me next year (what do you say, Smiley?)… So, anyway, this is a picture of me waiting for the rest of the team to arrive. I sat on my car and watched the others roll in. I won’t admit to how ridiculously early I really was, but it gave me a chance to watch walkers unite, hug, cry. Out came the pink ribbons, the pink balloons, the pink hats, the pink face paint (yes, yours truly smudged hers within moments of application), pink pink pink. Everywhere. I own so much black I actually had to go out and buy the pink shirt in the pic!

This was a day of coming together for the cause. Coming together period. I didn’t think of anything me, myself or moi. I wore no name except for that of my Team. I was not one person but an army of ones walking. I think that’s what knocked me silly on this Sunday. Running, you run for yourself. You lose the crowd. Everyone spreads out and becomes their own warrior. Walking binds you to the footsteps in front of you. Makes you move as a group. We were pretty in pink, proud in pink, perfect in pink.

S~ Thanks for hanging out later. While we didn’t talk about this walk all that much, it was nice to have that gabby, girly time. After the day I just had, it was perfect.

Sarah’s Challenge

See Sarah Smile!

See Sarah Smile!

This is my friend Sarah. We started off as coworkers. Even though she has moved onto bigger and better things we have remained friends. She has a huge smile and an even bigger heart. Here’s the proof: she walking a full freakin’ marathon for charity – yup 26.2 miles in one day. Here’s her story:

You are a charity walking machine, but this is your biggest yet! What made you sign on?

 Last year I walked the half marathon and I loved it. Even though i was sore for a few days afterwards. I asked my dad to participate with me this year and he really wanted us to walk the whole marathon. I knew I couldn’t get a better walking partner than my dad (who has RUN many marathons) so i agreed to walk the full 26.2 miles!

How are you training for it, besides one foot in front of the other?

My ideas for training started with a book, and a set schedule but I struggled to get into it. Yesterday I walked 6.2 miles, and i am feeling it. my plan is to walk at least twice during the week for 3 miles or more, and then do my long walks on the weekend. my long walks will be 10, 13, 18 and 21 miles. In September I will start to shorten the mileage to get ready for the event.

When and where does this HUGE walk take place?

This is the part that hooked me both last year and this year. The walk is the Boston Marathon route. I have watched my dad run this marathon so its an honor to be able to experience this with him. Especially since neither of us our in running condition to do the real marathon. This is the next best thing.

This is something I asked our friend Rebecca: most athletes I know have a ritual or lucky talisman – something that inspires them before the event. What’s yours?

The things that inspire me most at these events are the volunteers and the photos that remind of us we are participating. The marathon has a mile marker with a photo of a child who is battling cancer. Those kids are fighting for their life, all i have to do is keep walking.

Here’s another question I asked Rebecca: Are you walking in anyones honor or memory, and if so, what is his/her story?

i am not walking for one particular person but for the general cause. I am amazed at the courage of anyone that goes thru cancer. To be honest, I am scared of someone I love or myself having to go thru something like that. I admire the strength of those who have cancer, their loved ones, and the people in the medical field who try to beat the odds and get them through it.

I’m not trying to guilt anyone but if walking a marathon and asking for your help in donating can help the fight against cancer then it is the least I can do. It is what I’d hope someone would do for me or someone I loved.

Speaking of donations, how much $$ do you have to raise?
my dad and i need to raise $250 each.

How can people donate?
my website is

my dad’s site is

if you can donate that would be awesome. no amount is too small.

To learn more about you or the walk where can people go?

if you do not want to donate online, email me and we’ll figure something else out

my email is

And when is that walk again??

September 21st

Bill, My First (not)

CancerI sent in my registration today. It’s in the mail which means there is no turning back now…unless I want to commit a federal offense. I’m committed alright! Committed to the run. Bill, your challenge will be my first even though it’s your third. No. That’s not entirely true. I’ve run one other 5K in my life. Just as I’ve only run one other race besides that. So, come to think of it, your third annual challenge is technically my third race ever. Go figure.
March 15th. Mark my calendar in red. I signed up. I paid to play.
Here’s the deal: Look Park – twice. 8am. Bill’s Challenge III is sponsored by Cancer Connection. Bill was CC’s first client. He was so involved in Cancer Connection that after his death the 5K challenge was created in his honor. Somehow I missed the 2006 & 2007 challenges but thanks to my father-in-law, hello challenge 2008, here I come.

Here’s my deal. I am not running for personal time. I could care less about beating anyone else (least of all myself). I run to fight cancer, honor someone special, raise awareness for issues like domestic abuse, bring places like Darfur into focus…I could go on. I run to help. Always have, always will. If I’m not moving my feet for something good, it’s not worth doing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, show me the cause and I’ll find the fight.

Carpenter’s Boat Shop

Sometimes I think I walk through parts of my life with my eyes closed. I really didn’t consider all that the Carpenter’s Boat Shop does until the loss of Ruth. I guess it’s fair to say I take for granted that which has been in my life forever. Forever and a day. A constant presence is never questioned. Such is the case with the Carpenter’s Boat Shop in Pemaquid, Maine. I’ve known “the Boat Shop” every minute of my existence whether I was aware of it or not. Skiffs on the beach came from there. People from the island went there. An exchange as subtle as clouds in the sky. Taken as truth and never thought more about.

Imagine a life on the rocks, for whatever reason. Hopes dashed. Dreams in ruins. Desperate for a break. Hungry for a fresh start. Not knowing where to turn. The Carpenter’s Boat shop is that safe haven. No. Harbor. They use the metaphor of a harbor on their website. That’s a better way to describe what they do. The Boat Shop is a place where someone can go for guidance, security and redemption on many, many levels. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually. Especially the spiritual. In the process of healing, they teach a trade: woodworking. Boats, furniture. Repair on all levels.

Take Another Piece

The second charity of the year to contact me was my very own Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I say “my very own” because I ran a half marathon for them last May. I know this organization all too well. To be more precise, I ran, walked, limped, hobbled and probably most importantly, raised funds for them. Some of you might remember the journal I kept. I documented all 60+ runs that brought me to the final moments of the end: 13.1 miles. See, LLs takes ordinary plain janes like myself (and joes) and turns them into athletes, however temporary. The Society doesn’t just ask for a handout, they ask you to give everything you’ve got – blood, sweat and tears – and thensome. In return, they turn one of your greatest challenges into your greatest adventure. They take your energy (or lack thereof) and add to it more pride and accomplishment than you’ve ever seen. With the help of trainers, coaches and 24 hour support they train you to not only to raise the funds, but to finish the endurance challenge of your choice. You start the challenge worrying about how to ask people for money and you end it with the understanding that there are extremely kind and generous people in the world. You start the journey thinking you can’t run a single mile and end it knowing you can run 13.1 or even 26.2 miles.  In short you go from being a doubter to a believer in the one thing that matters – yourself. They may ask you to raise a ridiculous amount, they may ask you to run a ridiculous amount, they may ask you to give a ridiculous amount, but they give you back something far more precious – a huge sense of accomplishment. Believe me, I kick my own ass all the time, but I was never more proud of myself than on 5/13/06.

So, here the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society contacted me again…wanting another piece of me. They are relentless! And why shouldn’t they be? Cancer is just as relentless. The day after my race I lamented that cancer just doesn’t quit.

I didn’t sign up for another challenge. I wrote a check instead. Actually, what I should say is, “I didn’t sign up for another challenge…yet.” See you in the gym.

The ThetaHealing® Technique is fabulous for getting to the origin of our issues because Practitioners are taught an incredible technique called digging.

Nex Generation

We designed this logo and brand for Nex Generation located in Camas. Nex Generation wanted a brand new look for their organization. Not only did they need a logo, but they needed a brand to best display themselves in the community.

Obviously, the logo needed to reflect their mission statement and beliefs as an organization. Nex Generation was thrilled with the outcome and hired us to design and print their business cards immediately after the logo and brand were complete.

Inositol, Signal Transduction, and a Single Girl – Book Excerpt of the Week (narrated by Jay R. Smith)

One of my favorite ways to study biochemistry is to make up metaphors to help me turn complicated invisible reactions into memorable, tangible stories. My favorite metaphor of all time is one I created for inositol. Inositol already holds a soft spot in my heart because it used to be a vitamin, like how Pluto used to be a planet.

Inositol is not an extremely common energy drink ingredient, but it’s in at least one of the “Big 3” (the top 3 selling brands). It’s unlikely the small amount of inositol exerts a strong effect after consuming an energy drink. But if Pluto is worth knowing, then so is inositol.

Our bodies make inositol (hence the removal of “Vitamin” status), so inositol is affecting you on a daily basis even if you don’t drink energy drinks.

Let me tell you a story about what this little fellow is doing.

What Does Inositol Do?

(Audio)Book Excerpt of the Week: Narrated by Jay R. Smith Audio Publishing

We can think of cell membranes like the doors, walls, and windows of a house. Some molecules can get into a house quite easily, while others are like vampires and have to be invited in….or something like that. Some molecules set off a reaction by coming to the threshold of the house, and these reactions are called “membrane mediated events”. With signal transduction, a guest coming to the door creates not one reaction, but a whole series of reactions involving multiple signals and second messengers.

Inositol’s role in treating anxiety, depression, and insomnia all stem from how inositol participates in the chain of reactions and signaling that occurs with signal transduction.

Stay tuned for next week’s book excerpt as we continue our page-by-page exploration through the Energy Drink Guide (now on Audible!!!).

Two Jellyfish Genomes Are as Different as Humans and Sea Urchins

Khalturin, K, C Shinzato, M Khalturina, et al. 2019. Medusozoan genomes inform the evolution of the jellyfish body plan. Nature Ecology and Evolution 3 (May, 2019):811-822.

Summary. Jellyfish and sea anemones are both classified in the phylum Cnidaria, but have different life histories. Jellyfish have a larval stage (planula) that attaches to the seafloor and later develops into the familiar swimming medusa form. Sea anemones and corals (Class Anthozoa) also attach to the seafloor, but never change into a medusa. To better understand the genetic basis for the differences between polyp and medusa stages, scientists sequenced the genomes of two types of jellyfish, Aurelia (a typical jellyfish, Class Scyphozoa) and Morbakka (a venomous box jellyfish, Class Cubozoa). They found that the two jellyfish are radically different from each other genetically, equivalent to the differences between humans and sea urchins. Further, sea anemones are as different from the two jellyfish as they are from humans. Aurelia had 400 genes not identifiable in anemones, with many of the genes active only in the medusa stage. Aurelia and Morbakka each have more than 1,000 genes specific to their jellyfish stages, but only 97 of them are the same. Polyp-specific genes were also dissimilar in comparisons of the jellyfish with the anemones. In contrast to the large genetic differences among the species studied, all the cnidarian groups have similar genes for nematocysts (stinging capsules).

Two disparate jellyfish. Left, Aurelia aurita, the moon jellyfish. Photo Rob Upchurch, CCbySA3.0. Right, Morbakka virulenta, the fire jellyfish. Photo: Khalturin et al, open source, CCbySA.

Comment. This study corroborates other studies that show the importance of taxonomic-specific genes (“orphan genes”) in producing different body plans. Since structural difference among organisms are due to differences in development, it seems probable that different body plans are largely the result of taxonomically restricted genes. It is doubtful indeed that Darwinian evolutionary processes are capable of generating coordinated sets of taxonomically restricted genes that would explain disparity of body plans. Even when most genes are similar, the timing and sequence in which they are expressed is controlled in crucial ways by taxonomically restricted genes, producing distinctively different morphologies.

The American Clock & The Archbishop’s Ceiling

Two Plays

by Arthur Miller

These two plays, first produced in the United States in the 1970s, have recently been revived here and abroad to great critical and popular acclaim.

  • Imprint Grove Paperback
  • Page Count 224
  • Publication Date December 01, 1988
  • ISBN-13 978-0-8021-3127-0
  • Dimensions 5.5" x 8.25"
  • US List Price $8.95

About The Book

The Archbishop’s Ceiling is set in an unnamed Eastern European country, in the former palace of the archbishop. The four main characters–all writers, one an American–play out a complex artistic, political, and sexual drama with a constant eye to the ceiling, which may or may not be bugged. But it hardly matters whether the bug is there or not. As a permanent possibility, it infects every detail of their lives, from the most trivial offhand remark to the most urgent decisions about love and work.

In The American Clock, Arthur Miller distills his lifetime of engagement with the American theater and the American ethos to paint a sweeping canvas of “one of the vaster social calamities in history–the Great Depression of the thirties.” In a vivid sequence of interlocking tableaux, he evokes the texture of life in America’s cities and on its farms, on Wall Street and on the bread line, indelibly capturing both the bafflement and despair of people deprived overnight of their livelihood and dreams, as well as their resilience and stubborn optimism. “There can be no doubt about it . . . Arthur Miller is back in touch with his best subject, the failure of the American Dream, and back on top of his talent,” said The New York Times of The American Clock, and Clive Barnes praised it for “the same kind of writing that made Death of a Salesman a masterpiece.”

Hi. I am wife to Chuck, mother to the two P’s, and a lot more. I love reading, games of any kind, music, and lots of other things. I have lots of hobbies (if you ask Chuck, too many hobbies). I am very competitive, but try hard to keep it under control. I believe in honesty and try to always be that way. This is amazingly hard to write. There are a ton of things that make up who I am. Some are good, some are not – but they are all me. Most of the time I like/love myself but like anyone I have self doubt and a bit too much guilt.

I try to pull inspiration for things from anywhere that seems good. I value honesty and I’d like to think that I am open enough to learn about things outside my direct experience. Trying to live with the understanding that we’re specks on Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot means that I want to help create an environment where our children are more aware of the person on the other side of the world than the political enemy on the other side of the world. Another inspiration comes from the Rush lyric from “Territories”

Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Than the pride that divides
When a colorful rag is unfurled

I will admit that I hate writing things like this because I feel it makes me appear pretentious and self important. In the end, my job is to sit here and try not to screw up too bad.

I am the oldest of the Ps at 13 years old. I am always full of energy and love learning about everything. My favorite things right now are reading, video games, dragons, DnD and insects. I love bright colors and the more mismatched the better. I also love to find out how things work. I have my own youtube channel and discord servers. I am very excited to have started to admin for a new game and hope to help create more video games in the future.

I am little p at 10 years old. I have tons of things I love to do some of my favorite things right now are reading, movies, singing, video games, cooking and painting. I love to create things and being a helper. I also love taking pictures and videos and am hoping to make movies in the future. I love harry potter, how to train your dragon and all the Disney princesses.

I am Amber’s mom. I am very creative and help to come up with lots of  ideas.  I show up to almost all the international days and am a big help with all the cooking and prep. I also join the P’s for dinner every Wednesday, which has been nicknamed veg night at their house. I love being a grandma and Amber says I am very good at it.

The Professor

I am the oldest at 14 years old. I am a little grumpy but very loving and caring. My favorite thing to do is sleep on keyboards and tell the humans what to do.

I am the middle cat at 7 years old. I am very fluffy and loving. I do not like to let the humans work and demand all the attention and petting.  I favorite hobby is chasing and yelling at my sister.

I am the youngest and newest addition I am less then a year old and just a crazy as my name. I still have the kitten crazies and love to play. I spend most of the day with Big P and little p. I also love to chase my sister and brother.

COVID-19: role of co-infections, and drug repurposing for treament

Lead Research Organisation: Queen's University of Belfast
Department Name: Medicine Dentistry and Biomedical Sci

Clinical studies have reported co-infections in at least 20% of Covid-19 patients. This figure is likely underestimated because ICU mechanical ventilation results in up to 75% of patients developing nosocomial pneumonia. Moreover, pathological analysis of post-mortem biopsies of lung from patients who died of severe COVID-19 revealed histopathologic findings consistent with superimposed bacterial pneumonia in some patients. Alarmingly, this occurs in a scenario of a limited arsenal of antibiotics to target these infections.Nothing is known on the effect of co-infections in SARS-CoV-2-induced pathophysiology. It is also unknown whether SARS-CoV-2 infection may affect the pathophysiology of nosocomial infections. Addressing this knowledge gap is critical if we are to develop therapeutics; otherwise, treatments may tip the balance from one infection to the other. This happens in a scenario of a limited arsenal of antibiotics to target nosocomial infections. We will investigate the interface between SARS-CoV-2 and bacterial infections (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus) by exploiting relevant translational research models: well-differentiated primary human airway epithelial cell cultures (WD-PAECs), excellent surrogates of human airway epithelium in vivo, and PBMCs, reflecting the complexity of the human immune system. Single-cell RNA seq and multiplexed single-cell mass cytometry (CyTOF) will reveal cell-type specific immune pathways associated with the infections. These responses might be suitable for therapeutic manipulation. Cytopathogenesis, viral and bacterial replication in co-infection, and cytokines/chemokines will be additional read-outs. The effect of SARS-CoV-2 and bacteria on each other's virulence will be analysed by determining the transcriptome of exposed bacteria, and investigating viral and bacterial infection parameters upon infection of WD-PAECs and PMBCs. We will screen a panel of FDA-approved drugs affecting host-pathogen interactions to identify drugs against SARS-CoV-2 in the co-infection interface. These drugs shall be considered as new therapeutics entering clinical trials.

10 25 50
Description We have already demonstrated that infectionm of PB
Exploitation Route Our findings should result in considering bacterial co-infections in Covid19 patients hospitalized, but also in those with mild disease as they may become more susceptible to other bacterial infections. Therapeutics against Covid19 should considered the impact on bacterial infections. Our work should lead to identify drugs useful against SARS-CoV-2 in the context of bacterial co-infections.
Sectors Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology

Title Method to assess SARS-CoV-2 and bacterial co-infections
Description We have developed a method to assess virus and bacteria co-infections challenging a translational relevant human model , PBMCs. The method allows to ass viral and bacterial outcomes, cell activation by mass optometry, and cell transcriptomics (single cell RNA seq, and bulk RNA seq).
Type Of Material Technology assay or reagent
Year Produced 2020
Provided To Others? Yes
Impact This method has allowed us to decipher for the first time the effect of SARS-CoV-2 and immune cells resulting in an impairment to clear bacterila infections. This method can be applied to other viral infections.
Title Methos to assess the interaction between pathogens and immune cells in vivo using mass cytometry
Description We have developed a novel method to detect the interaction between Klebsiella pneumoniaer and immune cells in vivo and ex vivo by exploiting mass cytometry. This method allows the simultaneous detection of bacteria, and immune cells characterized with more than 30 markers.
Type Of Material Technology assay or reagent
Year Produced 2021
Provided To Others? Yes
Impact This method has allowed to detect interactions between K. pneumoniae and cells never reported before. These findings will allow to investigate how Klebsiella manipulate immune cells, and to better understand how the immune system senses this infection.

Privatnost usmjerena web preglednik za korištenje s Orbot, na temelju Tor Browse

Orfox is built from the same source code as Tor Browser (which is built upon Firefox), but with a few minor modifications to the privacy enhancing features to make them compatible with Firefox for Android and the Android operating system.

Orfox REQUIRES Orbot app for Android to connect to the Tor network.

In as many ways as possible, we adhere to the design goals of Tor Browser (https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/), by supporting as much of their actual code as possible, and extending their work into the additional Android components of Firefox for Android.

** Also, includes NoScript and HTTPSEverywhere add-ons built in!

The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

Learn more at: https://guardianproject.info/apps/orfox

Orweb is our current default browser for Orbot/Tor mobile users (https://guardianproject.info/apps/orweb) that has been downloaded over 2 million times. It is VERY VERY SIMPLE, as it only has one tab, no bookmark capability, and an extremely minimal user experience.

Orweb is built upon the bundled WebView (Webkit) browser component inside of the Android operating system. This has proven to be problematic because we cannot control the version of that component, and cannot upgrade it directly when bugs are found. In addition, Google has made it very difficult to effectively control the network proxy settings of all aspects of this component, making it difficult to guarantee that traffic will not leak on all devices and OS versions.

Orweb also only provides a very limited amount of capability of Tor Browser, primarily related to reducing browser fingerprinting, minimizing disk writes, and cookie and history management. It trys to mimic some of the settings of Tor Browser, but doesn’t actually use any of the actual code written for Tor Browser security hardening.

Matthew 13:54-58

All work is noble. It enables each person to reach out to others in a way that benefits all. We are extensions of the Lord Jesus, continuing his work here on earth. Our work is a ministry. We need to remind ourselves over and over that we will meet the Lord in our work. Unless the lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.

Haven’t you ever just wanted to go to a winery that had more than just wine and people? Sure, there are plenty of pretty wine destinations across the globe (the rolling vine-studded hills of Tuscany are fine, if that’s your thing), but Napa’s sprawling Trinchero estate takes Instagrammability to new heights for the oenophile scene worldwide.

The historic family-owned brand officially opened the doors to this new space after an epic redesign by Erin Martin; we’re talking 22,000 square feet of pure, unadulterated Instagram nooks with potable delicacies around every corner, so we’re not NOT saying that you should plan a visit for that reason alone. In the meantime while you figure out a way to get yourself there ASAP, here’s a little digital tour of the universe’s most aesthetically pleasing winery.

Acting Dean of College of Professional Studies Announced

Melissa Feuer, the college’s associate dean for student and academic affairs, will begin her new role on Sept. 1.

Melissa Feuer
Melissa Feuer will be CPS acting dean starting Sept. 1.
August 06, 2020

George Washington University Provost M. Brian Blake announced Monday that Melissa Feuer, the College of Professional Studies associate dean for student and academic affairs, will be the college’s acting dean.

“Melissa has spent more than a decade teaching students and improving student services in CPS and therefore has played a considerable role in its growth and success,” Dr. Blake said. “She is an excellent choice to lead the College, and I look forward to the added benefit of her knowledge and partnership as she becomes a member of the senior leadership team.”

Ms. Feuer, who will begin her new role on Sept. 1, has served in a number of roles at CPS.

“I have been lucky to experience GW as an administrator, an instructor and a parent,” Ms. Feuer said. “I have greatly enjoyed all three roles, and I think they give me a perspective from a number of viewpoints that will be valuable in this new position.”

Ms. Feuer joined the university in 2007 as an adjunct professor and one of the first instructors in the new CPS online paralegal studies program, launched the same year. Since then, she has taught in the paralegal and homeland security programs. In 2010, Ms. Feuer became director of career services for CPS, and two years later she assumed responsibility for all student services. She was named CPS assistant dean of students in 2015.

While in her current role, Ms. Feuer created a student success coaching model at CPS that provides high levels of interaction and personal attention for the school’s professional, non-traditional students. She also recently graduated as a fellow of the first cohort of the GW Academic Leadership Academy.

Prior to joining GW, Ms. Feuer worked with mid-career attorneys at a private outplacement firm in the D.C. area, where she specialized in resume and cover letter critique and interview preparation. A former practicing attorney, she was also senior in-house counsel at a public real estate and management company and a real estate and commercial lending associate at a large corporate law firm based in Boston.

She earned her bachelor’s degree from Brandeis University and her law degree from the New York University School of Law.

Ms. Feuer said she looks forward to continuing to grow CPS’s existing programs and exploring opportunities to bring new programs to the college.

“CPS students are emerging leaders in their fields who are dedicated, professional, intellectually curious and a pleasure to work with,” Ms. Feuer said. “Hearing the many success stories of our graduates and welcoming a new group of students every semester is a true joy. I am excited to work with our new and continuing students in the fall.”

In July, Christopher Deering announced that, after more than two years of service, he would conclude his appointments as dean of CPS and dean of the Virginia Science and Technology Campus. In these capacities, he accomplished several significant achievements including gaining national accreditation from the Planning Advisory Board for the Sustainable Urban Planning program and improving technological and academic infrastructure in the GW education centers and at VSTC. He will return to the faculty following a sabbatical this upcoming school year.

In addition, Dr. Blake said he wanted to thank the Resource Allocation Committee, led by deans, faculty and staff, for recommending this position as an essential hire.

Five Lessons in Leadership from a Career Ambassador

Kristie Kenney, a former diplomat who attained the U.S. Foreign Service’s highest rank, spoke at the Elliott School of International Affairs.

October 16, 2017

By Ruth Steinhardt

Kristie Kenney served as United States ambassador to Ecuador, the Phillippines and Thailand, and was the first female ambassador to the latter two. In Thailand, where she served from 2011 to 2014, she handled U.S.-Thai relations during crises including the historic floods of 2011 and the 2014 military coup. And she attained the rank of career ambassador, which is the Foreign Service’s highest.

But “you don’t need a title to be a leader,” Ms. Kenney told an audience Wednesday at the George Washington University. “And having a title doesn’t make you a leader.”

Speaking at a lunch and discussion on leadership held by the Elliott School of International Affairs, Ms. Kenney said the lessons of her career apply beyond the diplomatic service.

“Being a leader is making an impact, making a difference, having your voice heard, and you can do that and should want to do that at every part of your life,” Ms. Kenney said. “It’s about making yourself in charge of as much of your life as you can.”

Ms. Kenney offered five broad qualities she said she considers essential to a good leader.

  1. Be competent. “You can’t lead without knowledge,” Ms. Kenney said—knowledge of the organization inside which you need to operate as well as the issues on which you’re working.
  2. Be confident. Ms. Kenney urged her audience to “convey professionalism and confidence” in the way they dress, speak and comport themselves. It took her some time to learn this lesson herself, Ms. Kenney said: Early in her career, as a consular officer at the U.S. embassy in Jamaica, she was mistaken for a summer intern.
  3. Be creative. “In today’s complicated world, we need to come up with new ideas, new solutions.” Ms. Kenney said. Not all of those ideas may be successful, but taking ownership of failed initiatives is also part of a good leader’s experiential portfolio, she said.
  4. Be a good communicator. That includes not just clear speaking and writing, Ms. Kenney said, but also listening. “When you communicate, you’re taking in as well as putting out [information],” she said. And listening includes both the people in a conversation and to the context in which they are trying to connect, Ms. Kenney said. For ambassadors, that means understanding the culture of the region in which they’re working.
  5. Be compassionate. “You need to care about the people around you, above you and below you, the partners you work with, the issues you work on, and there’s really no substitute for that,” Ms. Kenney said. “It will be clear very quickly if you have a leader who doesn’t, who’s interested only in themselves.”

    That doesn’t mean every good leader is “wildly emotive,” Ms. Kenney said. “But you need to have the genuine sense, as you move up in leadership positions, that you care about the people who work for you.”
