At the time the Grimké sisters set off on their speaking four of New England in 1837, many sectors of the New England churches had already been long-standing supporters of colonization societies, and at first the sisters received a warm welcome. Indeed, what better appeal could there be than the living witness of two women from a prominent Southern family who had personally observed the horrors of slavery and who now denounced the institution as sinful? They were tangible demonstrations that the tactical campaign launched by the abolition societies was a good one. If Southern women could have a change of heart and mind on the issue, then surely Northerners could be easily won to the same persuasion. But the Grimké sisters went beyond denouncing slavery as sinful; they spoke against race prejudice as an indirect support of slavery, insisting that such prejudice had to be fought in the North as well as the South. Angelina argued that the female slaves

“are our countrywomen; they are our sisters; and to us as women, they have a right to look for sympathy with their sorrows and effort and prayer for their rescue.”

To denounce slavery as sinful was one thing; to call on Northern Protestants to rid themselves of race prejudice was a rather strong idea to many New Englanders. Before the year was out, the Congregationalist ministers were refusing to read notices of abolitionist meetings from the pulpit.

During their Boston stay the sisters were clearly influenced and encouraged by Garrison to strengthen the positions they had espoused at the beginning of their tour. They quietly emphasized the point in their lectures that if women were to become effective in the abolition movement, they had to free themselves from the social restraints that had kept them numb and silent and learn to speak and act as fully responsible moral beings. Many people, clergymen in particular, were very skeptical of, if not openly hostile to, this view of women in the abolition movement. Garrison seems to have taken the discord as an opportunity to denounce the clergy and to identify himself as a strong supporter of woman's rights. It is difficult to be sure of the distribution of views within the abolition movement concerning the stress on woman's rights by antislavery agents, for G. H. Barnes (1957), one of the chief historians of this movement, is so clearly critical of Garrison that one must look cautiously beyond his textual account to the evidence itself, and that is ambiguous. The correspondence between Weld and Angelina Grimké makes it is clear that Weld was eager to open the leadership of the movement to women, since they could reach other women more effectively than men could. Angelina seemed to become increasingly convinced that there was a need to mobilize the reservoir of antislavery sentiment and potential for action among women in more general terms. Since the sisters were speaking many times a week as they toured New England, they were in the throes of an intensive process of politicization themselves, and much of the assurance with which they now wrote and defended their ideas was probably rooted in this experience. But Weld advised caution without departing from his principled support for women. Other officers of the society used a much sharper tone in their letters to the women. Whittier asked how they could forget "the great and dreadful wrongs of the slave in a selfish crusade against some paltry grievance . . . some trifling oppression, political or social, of their own" (Barnes 1957: 157).

Despite the warnings from abolition society officials, Sarah continued her work on a series of letters on the equality of the sexes and on her response to the angry pastoral letter that denounced "the mistaken conduct of those who encourage females to bear an obtrusive and ostentatious part in measures of reform" (Barnes 1957:156).

Storm On Lake Asquam By John Greenleaf Whittier

A cloud, like that the old-time Hebrew saw On Carmel prophesying rain, began To lift itself o'er wooded Cardigan, Growing and blackening. Suddenly, a flaw Of chill wind menaced; then a strong blast beat Down the long valley's murmuring pines, and woke The noon-dream of the sleeping lake, and broke Its smooth steel mirror at the mountains' feet. Thunderous and vast, a fire-veined darkness swept Over the rough pine-bearded Asquam range; A wraith of tempest, wonderful and strange, From peak to peak the cloudy giant stepped. One moment, as if challenging the storm, Chocorua's tall, defiant sentinel Looked from his watch-tower; then the shadow fell, And the wild rain-drift blotted out his form. And over all the still unhidden sun, Weaving its light through slant-blown veils of rain, Smiled on the trouble, as hope smiles on pain; And, when the tumult and the strife were done, With one foot on the lake and one on land, Framing within his crescent's tinted streak A far-off picture of the Melvin peak, Spent broken clouds the rainbow's angel spanned.

1882.

Anthony Razo - An Interview

How old were you when you started playing music?

AR: Nine or ten. My dad played, so music was always in the house, and I’d wanted to play pretty much as far back as I can remember. So I started playing when I was really young. I’m grateful for that. I think you get a different kind of foundation when you start at an early age like that. Like the instrument becomes engrained in your brain in a different way or something. And I think it’s easier to learn when you’re young. It’s like with languages.

And did you take lessons, or?

AR: For a little bit. I went for a year or so to this guy in Uptown Whittier and learned some basic theory. But I was mostly self-taught.

Can you tell me what that process was like for you, teaching yourself?

AR: I mean, the best way to learn guitar is by learning songs. So I’d come home from school and practice, and read tabs from bands that I liked. And if the song was difficult, I’d just work at it until I could play it. Sometimes I’d use YouTube. But it was really just a matter of learning other people’s songs and practicing.

Yeah. I wonder how people learned music before the Internet.

AR: [Laughs.] I’m sure it was a lot harder.

Who were some of those early bands that got you really excited about music?

AR: Modest Mouse and Brand New were huge for me. And I still love those bands. Earlier it was proggy stuff, like Coheed and Fall of Troy. A little later it was mathier stuff like Terra Melos and A Lot Like Birds. But Modest Mouse and Brand New were the bands that really changed my perception of what music could do, what music could be.

I feel like you gained such a solid foundation as a guitar player, learning songs by bands like Coheed or Terra Melos.

AR: They write some pretty crazy parts, for sure. And even if I’m not sweeping or tapping or anything in the songs that I work on now, I think that that foundation was still really important for me as a player. Learning those songs helped me to become skilled enough to do pretty much whatever I want on the fretboard. I’m sure writing’s a little bit like that too. Like, you need to be able to do a lot of different things, even if you’re not going to be showing off those skills all the time. Does that make sense?

When was it that you started writing your own songs and playing with other people?

AR: Sixth grade. My best friend played guitar, too, and we were both in school band, so we found some other people to play with and took it from there. At first it was all covers, then we started writing our own stuff.

Do you think that was useful for you at all, playing in school band?

AR: You know, I don’t know. I’m sure it was in ways.

And that project with your friend from school, that’s what would turn into WTL?

AR: Yeah. We had a different name before that, but I’m not gonna say it.

[Laughs.] Fair enough. And the way I understand it is that playing in WTL, you recorded your first two full-length albums and had your first real recording experiences.

AR: That’s right. We were in high school, and I knew this guy Robert Cheek had recorded Terra Melos, so I really wanted to work with him. So we saved our money and started a Gofundme and made it happen.

A pretty seminal experience for you, yeah? Robert’s become your mentor, basically.

AR: I love Robert. Yeah, that’s definitely when I got into the idea of engineering. I kind of shadowed Robert all week, just paying attention to what he was doing. He had also worked with bands like Deftones and Band of Horses, so I knew he knew what he was doing, and I wanted to learn. And even though I was just a high school kid then, we were able to develop a pretty strong friendship.

Can you tell me more about that relationship and how Robert’s kind of helped you along your way as a recording engineer?

AR: Sure. So we met when I was pretty young, like I said. And he’s always been super helpful just, like, answering questions I might have about gear, or offering advice on how to get certain sounds. Most of what I know I’ve learned from Robert. He’s also helped me to get work. Like, he’s asked me to work with him on a lot of projects, and I’ve met a lot of different people through him. He’s been super generous, too, just like giving advice on how to navigate this field. And it’s all been honest advice. He’s never sugarcoated anything.

It’s so helpful and, like, validating to have a mentor like that.

AR: For sure.

When did you start recording on your own, then?

AR: Pretty shortly after recording with Robert as a teenager, I asked my grandma for a loan so I could buy a bunch of recording gear and build a studio.

What is it that you love so much about engineering? Versus, say, playing.

AR: It’s just so fun being in the studio. I love tweaking with gear and sounds until things sound the way you want them to. I love experimenting and getting surprised. And I like helping people’s visions come to life. Like, everyone’s having a good time when they’re recording songs. Or not everyone, some people get really manic and stressed, but for the most part the atmosphere is positive and exciting, even when the days are crazy long. And, you know, playing can be really exhausting. Touring can suck. I think I’ve always had more fun putting songs together than I have had playing in a band. So engineering just kind of lets me nerd out and enjoy all the things I enjoy most about music – gear, experimentation, community. It’s just a lot of fun.

I get that.

AR: Yeah.

Do you have a favorite record? I’ll say current and all-time.

AR: Man, favorites can be so tricky. I’m currently still pretty caught up on A Crow Looked at Me by Mount Eerie. It’s just such a heartbreaking album. Not to self-plug, but I’m also really stoked on how the last SJP record came out. I think it’s his best and most ambitious record yet, and I’m not only saying that because I got to work on it. I’m really excited for people to hear it.

When’s that out?

AR: We’re thinking late December!

I’m excited to hear it. And what about your all-time fav?

AR: I was avoiding the question! [Laughs.] I’m gonna go artists, and I’ll give you three: Death Cab, Motion City, and The Microphones.

You mentioned the Andres record that’s coming out soon, and I know you’ve been touring with him quite a lot. What’s that experience been like?

AR: It’s been great! We’re close friends, so that helps. But yeah, it’s a lot of fun. The turnouts are pretty consistently good, and I like everyone who he’s been hiring for the project, so I’m really happy to be a part of things. And as much as I can hate touring sometimes, it’s also a blast. I love traveling. I love playing. And I know I’m not gonna want to do this forever, so I’m just kind of soaking it all up.

You produced the new Andres record? Pretty much exclusively?

AR: Yeah, he and I produced it.

So you had a pretty heavy hand in the construction of the new songs? That probably makes it all feel a little more fun and rewarding.

AR: Yeah, for sure. He trusts me a lot, it’s awesome. I pitched a really expensive studio in Chicago, and he was just like, “Sure!” I pitched some really out there, avant-garde ideas, and he was just like, “Sure.” So it’s been cool working with him and knowing he trusts me to just kind of do my thing. And yeah, it makes the songs a lot more fun to play live, knowing I was able to help with writing them.

Have you been writing songs at all? Outside of working on the Andres record? And do you have any engineering projects in the pipeline?

AR: I have like eight or nine SL songs that I need to get recorded. I just don’t know when I’ll have the time or energy. I’ve been touring a lot, and when I’m not touring, I’m working, and we’re gonna be moving again soon…you know how it goes. But I’d like to get them recorded sometime next year, and I really hope that I’m able to. And then as far as engineering stuff goes, I have a few things in the pipeline, for sure. I’m recording our friend Fran’s debut LP for her project Therapy really soon, so I’m super stoked about that.

So much of the freelance engineering thing seems to be about networking. You seem pretty good at it.

AR: [Laughs.] Thanks. And yeah, I think you’re right. You just need to get to know people, make connections, make friends, show people you know what you’re doing, and, if you can, that you’re a good hang. I meet a lot of people when I’m touring with Andres, so that helps. I met a lot of people through No Better. So these connections kind of just accumulate.

You work out of several different studios, too.

AR: I do. I mean, lately I’ve had kind of a home base at Anjuna in Portland. You’ve recorded there. But yeah, there are like three or four studios that I work out of pretty consistently.

Is that a hard pitch? Getting people to agree to not only pay you to engineer and produce the record but also to rent these studio spaces that will allow the record to sound as good as it possibly can?

AR: It definitely can be. But I think that people who get it get it. It’s expensive to make a record. It’s really expensive to make a good-sounding record. And you get what you pay for. But I think people know that I’m a forward guy and that I’m just trying to make good art. Obviously I don’t want to break the bank, but if we’re going to work on a record together I want to make sure we have the time and space to make it the best record that it can be. And I used to think that it was like, a myth that the location mattered, but it really does.

Would you ever want to open a space like that? I mean a space of your own.

AR: If I won the lottery, yeah. [Laughs.] But no, of course. I hope I can, someday. Probably not a beachfront studio like Stinson. But having a comfortable place to work out of consistently? A place where the band could hang out and sleep? Yeah. I’d love to have that kind of studio space.

We’ll end there. Thanks so much for chatting, Ant. It was fun.

Roof Gloves Guide

Roof Gloves Guide

Working on a rooftop demands precision, safety, and a firm grip on the task at hand. When it comes to roofing, choosing the right gear can be the difference between a smooth, secure job and a potential disaster. Nitrile coated roof gloves have emerged as a reliable choice for roofing professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the world of nitrile coated roof gloves, exploring their benefits and offering insights on how to make the best purchase.

The Power of Nitrile Coating

Nitrile coated roof gloves have gained popularity for several compelling reasons, making them the preferred choice for those in the roofing industry:

1. Exceptional Grip

The nitrile coating on these gloves offers an outstanding grip on roofing materials, even in wet or slippery conditions. This ensures that you can work confidently at heights without worrying about accidental slips.

 

2. Durability

Nitrile is a robust synthetic rubber that resists wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for work gloves. Nitrile coated gloves are known for their longevity and can withstand the rigors of roofing tasks.

3. Protection

Roofing often involves handling sharp or abrasive materials. Nitrile coated gloves act as a protective barrier for your hands, safeguarding them against cuts, punctures, and abrasions.

 

4. Resistance to Chemicals and Oils

Nitrile is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and oils, making these gloves suitable for various roofing materials and situations. Whether you're working with asphalt shingles or chemicals used in roofing applications, nitrile coated gloves can keep your hands safe.

 

5. Comfort and Dexterity

Despite their durability and protective qualities, nitrile coated roof gloves are designed to offer comfort and dexterity. They allow you to maintain a strong grip while still having the flexibility to handle tools and materials with ease.

 

How to Choose the Right Nitrile Coated Roof Gloves

Selecting the perfect pair of nitrile coated roof gloves involves considering several key factors:

1. Material

Pay attention to the materials used in the gloves, both for the base glove and the nitrile coating. High-quality nitrile coated gloves often have a comfortable fabric base with a well-bonded nitrile layer.

 

2. Grip Pattern

Check for a grip pattern designed specifically for roofing work. Nitrile coated gloves may feature textured surfaces or specially designed patterns to enhance traction.

 

3. Size and Fit

Choose a size that fits your hands comfortably. Gloves that are too tight can be uncomfortable and restrict movement, while loose gloves can hinder your dexterity and grip.

4. Weather Resistance

Consider the climate and weather conditions you'll be working in. If you anticipate wet or rainy conditions, look for nitrile coated gloves with waterproof features to maintain a secure grip.

 

5. Thickness

The thickness of the nitrile coating can vary. Thicker coatings offer better protection but may sacrifice some dexterity. Choose the thickness that aligns with your specific roofing tasks.

 

6. Cuff Length

Some nitrile coated gloves come with extended cuffs that provide additional wrist protection. Depending on your roofing work, you may prefer gloves with longer cuffs for added safety.

 

Nitrile coated roof gloves are a game-changer in the world of roofing safety and performance. Their exceptional grip, durability, and protective features make them the go-to choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike. When it comes to roofing, investing in the right gear, including high-quality nitrile coated gloves, ensures not only your safety but also the success of your projects. So, gear up with confidence, secure your grip, and conquer the rooftops with the reliability of nitrile coated roof gloves by your side.

 

Employee Safety

Employee safety should be a top priority in any company.

Now, let us have a brief look at all these types of coating.

Nitrile Foam Coated Gloves

Industrial environments of today carry many activities that have risks. Governments and businesses in many countries define guidelines that benefit the safety of their workers. Many industrial applications promote the use of nitrile foam grip gloves for industry workers as a means of safety.

For Those with Allergy Concerns

Nitrile foam grip gloves are a type of glove made from nylone and coated with synthetic rubber. Nitrile is a polymer compound with a production process similar to that of making rubber. Unlike rubber however, nitrile is a 100% synthetic substance and typically does not create any type of allergic reaction on the human body and as a result, is accepted and used in many businesses. Nitrile is the synthetic form of latex and is commonly chosen for its strength.

Nitrile Latex vs Rubber

Just like natural rubber, Nitrile latex does not contain latex proteins. Nitrile rubber provides excellent resistance to tears and punctures and is almost 3 times stronger than natural rubber. Nitrile stands up well to oil, and makes it is a good choice for handling small wet/oily parts.

Features of Nitrile Foam Gloves

The main feature of knit nylon gloves coated with nitrile is their good grip and dexterity. Nitrile coated palm and fingers provide protection from abrasion, excellent grip, are extremely thin and durable, are breathable, comfortable, cut resistant, have great dexterity, tactility, and sensitivity.

There are various types of Nitrile coated glove dips available, some of them which include Nitrile palm coated grip gloves, foam Nitrile coated gloves, and fully coated Nitrile gloves.

All-Weather Grip Gloves

Many businesses use nitrile work grip gloves for their workers and most of these companies, especially in cold weather areas of the world. Nitrile foam gloves can keep worker’s hands warm in cold weather conditions and allow them to move their hands freely and easily even in cold conditions as well as protect their hands from harmful substances, cuts, and abrasion.

Works Well with Wet Conditions and Oil

Nitrile foam gloves withstand oils and have tactility even when wet. Nitrile coatings protect hands by preventing oil from penetrating through the gloves. Some applications include working with small or oily parts, as nitrile coating provides a secure grip.

Durable and Long Lasting

Nitrile foam gloves do not easily break down, delaminate or blister-like other coating materials in the presence of oils and in general. This makes nitrile foam gloves a choice for jobs that require a high degree of sensitivity and dexterity, especially when grip is important such as assembly, construction, painting, working on automotive, handling small oily parts and components, gardening, machining, maintenance, warehouses, and trucking. Recreationally, they are also great for gardening, and various outdoor activities that require grip in wet conditions, like boating, fishing, hiking, and biking.

Other Information on Nitrile Foam Gloves

Nitrile foam gloves are perfect for general work because of their durability and robustness. The nitrile coating will prevent cuts, tears, and even abrasions. These grip gloves work well between -25 F and 350 F.

Nitrile foam gloves are durable, but they will not provide a robust grip in oily and wet conditions compared to micropore nitrile gloves.

Nitrile foam coating may not be ideal for liquids and adhesives because they may seep inside the gloves.

Latex Coated Gloves

Latex-coated gloves are soft and flexible. These soft gloves give a perfect grip and an anti-slip experience. Latex-coated gloves work well in all circumstances and temperatures, and they are a perfect choice for high temperatures too.

Latex gloves fall in the category of the most durable gloves, but you may experience low abrasion and oil resistance. Latex gloves can resist the use of alcohol and some categories of ketones, but they won’t work well for organic solvents and hydrocarbons.

Latex gloves are perfect to use in construction, masonry, and even landscaping.

Micropore Nitrile Gloves

Micropore nitrile gloves work best for oily grip. These gloves consist of different suction cups which absorb all the oil and liquid providing a firm grip.

This coating doesn’t work well with adhesives, but the outcome is highly abrasion-resistant.

Polyurethane Coated Gloves

Polyurethane-coated gloves come with the best stretch and flexibility. These gloves work well for delicate applications, and the coating offers flexibility.

Polyurethane-coated gloves are resistant to all kinds of liquids, including oil. It is also heat resistant, but these gloves are not recommended to use above 79 degrees celsius. These polyurethane gloves work perfectly well for aerospace, fine part handling, and even with assembly and inspection.

PVC Gloves

PVC gloves work the best with adhesives, and they are abrasion-resistant. The adhesives won’t stick on the gloves so that you can work without any hassle. These gloves are best when working with furniture, automotive assembly, and trim applications.

These PVC gloves are perfect to use within cold conditions, and these PVC gloves are flexible but not tactile with rubber products.

Neoprene Coating Gloves

Neoprene coating gloves are synthetic rubber that also comes with chemical stability and heat resistance. These gloves are suitable for chemical-resistant and fire-retardant installations.

Neoprene coating will provide a dry, oily, and wet grip, but it has low resistance towards abrasion.

Final Verdict!

Nitrile foam grip gloves are more versatile do not easily break down, delaminate or blister-like other coating materials in general. This makes nitrile foam gloves a choice for jobs that require a high degree of sensitivity and dexterity, especially when grip is important such as assembly, construction, painting, working on automotive, handling small oily parts and components, gardening, machining, maintenance, warehouses, and trucking.

Different types of daycare options for kids

Choosing the best daycare for your child is a crucial choice that must take your family's requirements and preferences into consideration. Daycare alternatives come in a variety of forms, each with special features and advantages. In this article, our Daycare Whittier, CA, team will help you explore five different types of daycare options for kids to help you make an informed choice.

Let's read it out:

In-Home Daycare

A single caregiver or a small group of caregivers often oversees in-home childcare in a residential environment. It provides kids with a more private and customized setting. Smaller child-to-caregiver ratios are common among in-home caregivers, enabling personalized attention and a cozy, homey atmosphere. When looking for a daycare that offers a loving and family-oriented environment for their child, parents can choose this kind of program.

Family Daycare

Family daycare, often referred to as group family daycare, is like in-home daycare except that it serves a larger number of kids. Usually, a caregiver with a family daycare provider license runs it. A homelike environment and social engagement with a small number of peers are both balanced in family childcare. For parents seeking a daycare alternative that combines the advantages of in-home and center-based care, it can be a terrific option.

Center-Based Daycare

Larger, more organized institutions that care for several kids in one place are known as center-based childcare centers. They frequently provide a broad variety of materials and activities, a well-trained staff, and a comprehensive curriculum. The educational focus of center-based childcare is well-known since it provides children with scheduled learning opportunities that can help them get ready for kindergarten and preschool. For parents looking for a thorough and well-structured early education program, this is a great option.

Preschool or Nursery School

Programs for preschool or nursery schools are specially made to get kids ready for official education. They place a strong emphasis on socialization, early education, and the acquisition of necessary skills. These programs might not offer full-day care and are frequently part-time. Parents who want their child to benefit from an early education program while simultaneously taking care of their childcare requirements might enroll their child in preschools or nurseries.

Montessori Daycare

The educational concept of Montessori, which promotes independence, self-discovery, and child-directed learning, is followed in Montessori childcare programs. Children may explore and learn at their own pace in an atmosphere that is both flexible and structured, thanks to these programs. For parents who believe in a comprehensive approach to education and who want to encourage their child's independence and creativity, a Montessori daycare can be a great option.

Conclusion As per our Daycare La Mirada CA team when selecting a daycare center for your child, it's important to take into account several aspects, including the child's age, developmental requirements, job schedule, and family values. Every kind of childcare option listed above has benefits and can be better suited for particular families and circumstances. The ultimate objective is to offer your kid a secure, caring, and stimulating environment in which they may develop, learn, and flourish. It's critical to visit possible daycare centers, pose questions, and evaluate the space to make sure it suits your family's tastes and your child's needs.

HARRIET STRONG

I selected Harriet Williams Russell Strong as the topic of the blog because she was an amazing person.  She has a strong connection with water conservation as she created a system for water storage and flood control. Also she is an important figure in the Whittier family.

She was born in Buffalo, New York, on July 23, 1844. In 1852, her father moved her family west to California. Once again, Harriet’s family moved in 1861 to Carson City, Nevada, where she met her future husband. She married Charles Lyman Strong at the age of nineteen, this pair bought 320 acres of land from Pio Pico, the last Mexican governor of California, in 1867. They built a house on the ranch, but after some time Charles became bored and tried to start a new mining business. Regrettably, he failed and made a huge debt that lend to his suicide in 1883. Even though all of this Harriet continued her life, raising her 4 daughters, and even accomplished a number of amazing things.

She became interested in ways to irrigate dry land,  while living in her property “Rancho del Fuerte”. In search of a stable crop,  Harriet came upon walnuts. Walnuts require constant moisture in order to thrive so she designed an irrigation system for her walnut grove. By 1887, her walnuts began to flourish and, at 25 miles long, became the largest in the county, earning her the moniker “Walnut Queen”. Also in this year she patented her invention of a system of dams and reservoirs for water storage and flood control. In 1917, she went before the Congress and presented a plant that she had designed to dam the Colorado River.

She made a lot of impact in agriculture. That much, that her irrigation and conservation inventions allowed walnuts to flourish in the semi.arid Southern California soil. In addition, Strong advocated for water conservation and women’s rights all of her life, Sadly, on a trip back to her ranch in September in 1936, Harriet Russell Strong was involved in a fatal car accident. In 1935, the Hoover Dam was completed using some of Strong’s ideas that she presented in the Congress years before. In 2001, Strong was elected to the National’s Women Hall of Fame.

There exist some connections between Strong’s inventions and nowadays water conservation. Her system “dams and reservoirs” makes some plants grow a lot and it makes it easier to plant onto semi-dry lands. And we use it for the growing of different plants only because we have more technology than before and that makes better opportunities to create things. Also the way that she stores water is a bit similar with the drip irrigation system, the differences are that she’s were located in ways that the water will go to the plants until needed and the current one is that this one goes to the roots with the help of a plastic tube.

In conclusion, Harriet Strong was an astounding woman that fought with all her might not only for water conservation but also for the rights for womens. She invented a system that helped a lot in her time and ours. The government used her ideas to improve agriculture. These days, humans created new ways for water conservation and storage but we still use in some parts of the world her system. And until the day she died she went with her beliefs.

“So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn

Which once he wore!

The glory from his gray hairs gone

Forevermore!

Revile him not, the Tempter hath

A snare for all;

And pitying tears, not scorn and wrath,

Befit his fall!

Oh, dumb be passion’s stormy rage,

When he who might

Have lighted up and led his age,

Falls back in night.

Scorn! would the angels laugh, to mark

A bright soul driven,

Fiend-goaded, down the endless dark,

From hope and heaven!

Let not the land once proud of him

Insult him now,

Nor brand with deeper shame his dim,

Dishonored brow.

But let its humbled sons, instead,

From sea to lake,

A long lament, as for the dead,

In sadness make.

Of all we loved and honored, naught

Save power remains;

A fallen angel’s pride of thought,

Still strong in chains.

All else is gone; from those great eyes

The soul has fled:

When faith is lost, when honor dies,

The man is dead!

Then, pay the reverence of old days

To his dead fame;

Walk backward, with averted gaze,

And hide the shame!”

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) “Ichabod” (1850, written in protest to Daniel Webster’s promoting the Fugitive Slave Law).

Ramon Antonio Vargas at The Guardian:

Progressive US voters must unite behind Joe Biden rather than consider any of his Democratic primary challengers because the threat of another Donald Trump presidency is too great, Bernie Sanders has said. “We’re taking on the … former president, who, in fact, does not believe in democracy – he is an authoritarian, and a very, very dangerous person,” the senator and Vermont independent, who caucuses with Democrats, said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “I think at this moment there has to be unification of progressive people in general in all of this country.” Sanders’ remarks came as Trump continued grappling with more than 90 criminal charges across four separate indictments filed against him for his efforts to forcibly nullify his defeat to Biden in the 2020 presidential race, his illicit retention of classified documents, and hush-money payments to porn actor Stormy Daniels. [...] The senator responded to that criticism on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, saying, “Where I disagree with my good friend Cornel West is – I think, in these really very difficult times, there is a real question whether democracy is going to remain in the United States of America. “You know, Donald Trump is not somebody who believes in democracy, whether women are going to be able to continue to control their own bodies, whether we have social justice in America, [whether] we end bigotry.” Sanders didn’t elaborate, but his remarks seemed to be an allusion to the Trump White House’s creation of the US supreme court supermajority, which last year struck down the federal abortion rights that the Roe v Wade decision had established decades earlier.

During his appearances on both CNN's State Of The Union and NBC's Meet The Press Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) has urged progressive Americans to unite behind Joe Biden to stop the fascist takeover of America that Donald Trump and co. represent on the GOP side.

Week 14 Blog Post!

This week, I want to focus on one speech in particular, mainly because it’s part of what I’m going to be focusing on in my group project as I’m covering Twain’s later writings and speeches, but also because the speech itself is very interesting to me as it’s one of the few times I’ve ever heard of Twain thinking his work didn’t land well. He’s had other work done in poor taste before, sure, but the key thing with those is that he either cut those down to be acceptable or didn’t release them at all, going so far as to get people he trusted to burn the manuscripts of said works after he died, as to not spoil his reputation. There’s also other stuff he’s done before that he doesn’t like, like his lecture circuits, however those are more that he doesn’t like doing them, as opposed to the audience, as usually they ate up his lectures. So to have a public speech that he not only wrote and preserved, but also performed and saw a poor reception from the audience is truly fascinating to me. The speech I’m referring to, of course, is the Whittier dinner speech, and I have a strong inkling as to where this distaste, both from Twain and the audience, comes from. The obvious place to start would be how Twain describes them in the speech- “Mr. Emerson was a seedy little bit of a chap, red-headed. Mr. Holmes was as fat as a balloon; he weighed as much as three hundred, and had double chins all the way down to his stomach. Mr. Longfellow was built like a prize-fighter. His head was cropped and bristly, like as if he had a wig made of hair-brushes” (Twain). This pokes very direct fun at all of their physical appearances, and not in a tongue-in-cheek way- even though beauty standards have changed since the 1800’s, that didn’t make it entirely acceptable to so blatantly call someone as “fat as a balloon”. He proceeds throughout the rest of the speech to describe them as, essentially, drunkards and card players, all the way up until the end, where he reveals the ultimate joke of the speech- “I said to the miner, ‘Why, my dear sir, these were not the gracious singers to whom we and the world pay loving reverence and homage; these were impostors’” (Twain). And it is here that I see the ultimate problem and why this speech seemed to have flopped, not just to Twain, but to his audience. Following up on the theme of my last blog posts, he’s too cynical, and not satirical! What exactly did he think was going to happen when he described the physical appearances of some of the greatest authors in negative contexts, and then proceeded to call them drunkards and imposters? There’s no subtle critique of their style of writing, or even blatantly critique like Cooper's work, where he purposefully goes overboard and makes up critiques to make fun of him, such as breaking the literary rules. Instead of critique or poking fun, Twain just blatantly insults them, and that’s what separates this speech from the rest, and why it was such a flop in Twain’s eyes.
