Teechie's Story: Part III
Teechie and Shyrle
Well, dear reader, this will be the final installation in my three-part tribute to my great-great aunt, Teresa. We've seen Teechie through her childhood, met her "mentally defective" siblings, and watched her career grow, as she turned down the high salaries and coached her students to be the best "little" baseball players in Kern County.
I do remember, as a child, knowing that Teechie traveled quite a bit - often with her best friend Shyrle. So I think I'll conclude this homage with her own account of some of her travels:
My first long trip was a cruise to Alaska in 1934. We drove our Model T Ford up to Vancouver, and stored it there and then took the boat. Three friends went - me, another teacher and a girl who worked in the bank. We could only go as far as Skagway; it wasn't opened up any further. We had an awfully good time. We had dogsled rides. A druggist invited us to his home, the conductor of the train invited us home - all sorts of good things like that. They were hungry to see people up there. [Sketchy!]
My next big trip was to Mexico. Shyrle Summers and I paid Mrs. Erickson's way, and she guided us. We stayed a month in Mexico City, boarding with a family she knew. The food was especially good and we didn't have to worry about getting sick. We used trains and taxis to get around.
Shyrle and I went to China in 1936, the year the war broke out there. We got into Peiping and to the Great Wall, and all the places people haven't been able to go to until the last few years. I think that was the most thrilling trip I ever took. We went on our own; we didn't have a conducted tour. We stayed with a missionary in Peiping. The trip cost me $600 for three months. It took us a very long time to get there and back. We cam back on a Japanese boat. We didn't have to have so many things to travel back then. We just took a couple of outfits.
Once we took a trip through all the different parks - Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and all the rest. Nora and I took a trip to Canada one summer in a new Ford. We stopped at every gas station between here and Manteca. We were leaking oil and had to get a new fan belt at every station. Our cousin, John Fritz, worked in the Ford garage there; he took our car and fixed it up. Then we had a real nice time. The country was beautiful. We went to Victoria and Vancouver.
Later we went to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper with Chuck after Mary died. I'd like to take that trip again.
I've been to Europe four times, different parts. I've been down the Mississippi River on the Delta Queen, and I've taken several trips across the country.
Well, now she's just bragging.
Even though I only knew her when I was young, Teechie played a big part in my childhood - every summer my Mom's whole side of the family would get together to celebrate her birthday. (Never anyone else's birthdays. Just Teechie's.) It was always a pool party, and people would tell stories. So I have fond memories of Teechie, and just wanted to use a little blog space on her. Thank you for your attention.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Such as it is.


The Asfodeli property has 10 hectares of land, completely fenced and surrounded by a green wood eucalyptus and Mediterranean scrub. Only two houses stand on the green of this splendid property. The names are “Asfodeli” and “Suestellas”.
The houses offer all the necessary services for a comfortable stay. The Suestellas house has the characteristic of having the stone walls that fit it nicely into the countryside. In the construction of the Asfodeli house it was decided to follow the architecture of the old Sardinian houses, among all of them noting that the roof is built inside with reeds. These two beautiful houses, typical of the Sardinian countryside, come together in perfect harmony in the nature that surrounds them. The houses are about 200 meters away from each other to ensure sufficient privacy for customers. Among the various services, wi-fi internet connection, washing machine, dishwasher, satellite TV, barbecue and the necessary for the kitchen. The houses offer a large veranda where guests can dine and spend the coolest hours of the day. All around so much space to explore and take long walks. A walk through the Asfodeli property is a journey through all the wonders of Sardinia. The enchanting scents of vegetation, alive and intense in spring and pastel colored in summer, mingle with the salty air of the nearby sea, creating, especially at sunset, an atmosphere of relaxation. At certain times of the year, customers can collect the plant products that are grown on the property. The area offers wonderful places for hiking or biking roads with little traffic. In 10 minutes the beautiful south coast, where the crystal clear sea awaits you for great swims. Beautiful white sand beaches surround the south coast. The temperature is mild throughout the year. Here you can enjoy the warmth of the sun even in December.

The South America concert has been a part of JYJ World Tour Concert that began last April Bangkok, Thailand. The tour included stops in Taipei, Vancouver, Newark, Los Angeles, Barcelona and Berlin; total of 15 different cities and performed for 210,000 audiences.
C-Jes Entertainment announced on March 13 that the concert in Peru drew up to 6,000 fans. Fans had been camping outside over a week to await the boy’s arrival and the show. The dreams of the fans were met and yet fans have been reported to have been asking for more.
During the concert that lasted for 2 hours fans cheered and sang along JYJ’s hits like ‘Ayyy Girl,’ ‘Mission,’ ‘Be The One,’ and more. There was reportedly 10 fans that fainted due to exhaustion.
The South America portion of the concert was held in Chile and Peru has been making headlines all over the local media as well as other parts in the world.
After successfully concluding the performance in Chile with 3,000 fans on March 9, the trio flew over to Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima where over 3,000 fans have been waiting for JYJ’s arrival.
Surprisingly this large unprecedented number of fans waiting at the airport wasn’t the first sign of the excitement and craze over JYJ. The first whim was back in January when the concert tickets of both Chile and Peru broke records sale. Due to the overwhelming demand of fans the Peru concert added an additional 1,000 tickets that were sold out immediately.
With the completion of their successful World Tour concert, fans are awaiting expectantly already of their next tour.
C-JeS Entertainment CEO shared, “JYJ will focus on their album and individual activities for now. The group will release a second English album, in the second half of the year.”
The K-pop wave seems to be writing new history and breaking records wherever it lands.

was a success!
High School students from Israel, Palestine and the rest of the world come together for three exciting days of conference in the campus of EMIS - Hakfar Hayarok, Israel
Borders are all around us, whether they are internal or external, mental or physical, they shape our common reality. We aim for the conference to be a personal and a group journey which would challenge us to question the roles and influence of borders on different spheres of our life and would set us towards crossing borders.
What is the Journey of Crossing borders about?
Personal borders & identity
Borders & society
BORDERS & CONFLICT
BORDERS & ACTION
How will we cross borders?
The conference was divided into four main blocks, addressing different spheres in which we encounter borders. It is designed as a gradual journey, developing from the personal to the social and national, to allow a genuine exploration of the notion of borders and their influence on us as individuals and as a society.
Borders and personal identity
Each and every one of us has their own unique self-identity. Personal identity is perhaps the initial and most obscure border we face on a daily basis. As such, it is the first step of our 'crossing borders' journey.
Our self-identity is shaped by many factors, personal experience, culture and gender to name a few. Through exploration of our self-identity, its components and the borders within it, we hope to question the notion of personal identity as a creator of borders and the notion of borders as a creator of personal identity.
Questions: How do we shape our identity? Are we born with an identity? Can we change our identity? Do we need borders to create and safeguard our identity? Do we create our own borders in order to limit us and how do we cross them? Is identity itself a border?
Borders and society
After grasping a better understanding of the borders within us, we aim at exploring the, borders between us which are not physically or nationally defined. This would allow us to expand the circle to examine human interaction in the public sphere, be it on the personal or the social level.
We will be looking into current issues and concepts such as inclusion and exclusion, media representation and bias, identity politics and others. We hope to acquire a better understanding of the role and influence of borders on our social interactions, the factors that shape them, the ways we can cross them and the reasons for which we should (or should not) cross them.
Questions: Which borders influence humans interaction with one another? What is the influence of factors such as economy, media, language, gender and education in creating or crossing these borders? Do media create or eliminate borders? How should we deal with Immigration - integration, assimilation and separation? What is shared economy and its connection to borders? Does cross borders education exist?
Borders and conflicts
The third step of our journey, and the most political of all, examines the notion of borders and crossing borders on the national and international level. We aim at exploring the national borders and the nature of border conflicts, namely those between two or more areas that share a border and those between two or more groups whom claim ownership over land ungoverned by a distinguishable border. We will investigate on-going border conflicts, past conflicts and the concept of international intervention to better understand the role of borders and crossing borders on the global and local political sphere.
Questions and issues: Do borders inherently create conflicts? Are borders important to maintain peace and sustainability? Examples of current and past conflicts, the influence of borders on them, and the ways borders were created or eliminated as a result of them, International intervention and national sovereignty, the influence of geo-political border conflicts on the environment, should and can we live in a world without borders?
Borders and Action
In this part, we would attempt to take the knowledge and experience we gained throughout our journey in order to address practical issues in our home communities, the action we, as youth, can take in order to solve them and the obstacles or borders we should cross in order to take the necessary action.
We will split into discussion-action groups of common interest. In these groups we will analyze the different issues the participants will raise, understand their roots and influences, the obstacles we face when addressing these issues and the gaps we have in knowledge, experience and skills in order to properly address them. We will then create a plan of possible action items to follow throughout the year in order to take practical action to solve or improve issues which were raised.
Examples of interest groups: Environmental sustainability, conflict education, civic engagement, media, youth employment and more.

Among all of the recent debate and discussion of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, a key reform has greatly evaded the spotlight: “Opportunity Zones.” Opportunity Zones are areas that are traditionally left out from key investments and support. These inner cities and underdeveloped areas throughout the United States paradoxically need investment the most while receiving the least of it. According to the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, a Boston-based economic development non-profit, 42% of working Americans are inner-city residents, and the majority of inner-city businesses see their locations as a competitive advantage.
Nonetheless, these pockets of American society receive some of the lowest levels of investments from VC/PEs and other institutions. In response, John Lettieri and Steve Glickman, co-founders of the DC-based Economic Innovation Group, were able to galvanize support for their proposed solution to this problem in the most recent tax act. According to Impact Alpha, another leading impact investing publication, the Governors of each state had to choose “no more than one-quarter of their low-income neighborhoods for investments that will let investors defer and reduce capital gains taxes.” This was done by the end of March, so the new initiative is now ready to go into full swing.
Will it have a tangible impact on America’s economically stagnant areas? Will it bring more support and leverage to minority-owned businesses and reduce economic inequalities nationwide? These are some extensive goals, and only time can tell us the real, substantive impact of these Opportunity Zones.

A nice hiking trip into the mountains. First day’s hiking into Mt. Marcy was too misty, humid and windy to leave any nice pics. The second day was totally sunny and icy, but Mt. Algonquin did not fail us!
Thanks to Ben Athiwaratkun for the recipe.

It has the most amazing collection of tropical plants you may not have ever seen or heard of.
Nong Nooch is just inland from Pattaya. This is a large place (over 500 acres) that started out as a fruit tree orchard. Slowly it was converted to a tropical botanical garden, as the owners fell in love with the other tropical gardens they had seen around the world.
It is now the largest plant collection in all of Asia and is run by Kampon Tansacha, the son of the woman for who the garden was named. It is not only a massive plant collection but boasts some
In 1954 Mr. Pisit and Mrs. Nongnooch Tansacha bought 1,500 rais (approximately 600 acres) of rolling hills and valleys at kilometer marker 163 on Sukhumvit road in Chonburi province. The newly purchased land was anticipated to become a fruit plantation filled with mangoes, oranges, coconuts as well as many other local fruits. But as fate may have it, Mrs. Nongnooch during her trip abroad, was inspired by the beauty of the world – renowned gardens and decided to turn the fruit orchard into a tropical botanical conservation, the garden was later turned into a tourist attraction fully equipped with Thai style houses, cottages, villas, seminar halls, banquet halls, swimming pool, restaurants as well as other facilities constructed for tourist’s convenience.
Opened to the public in 1980, the garden was named “Suan Nong Nooch” in honor of Mrs. Nongnooch, as the word “Suan” means garden. In addition to continuing on her life’s work of the garden, Mrs. Nongnooch spends her time between Bangkok and the orchard in Chiang-rai as well as Nongnooch camping resort in Prachinburi province, which made its debut in 2001. In order to maintain the gardens, management was than handed over to her son, Mr. Kampon Tansacha.
Presently, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden & Resort is well know to those who want to take in an impressive Thai Cultural shoe and find the biggest and most beautiful botanical garden in Southeast Asia.

LAND BACK. It's heavy and full of hope. Indigenous peoples are land-based people. Our relationships to our homelands and waterways stretch back to the beginning of time. We are the land and the land is us. It's time to wake up to the fact that real reconciliation is about the land. Until the land is repatriated it's all just trinkets and trade beads. 50% of the profits of this hoodie will go directly to land and water defenders - people on the ground doing the hard work.

Research projects are undertaken everywhere; from the university laboratory to some of the coldest places on earth.
Research into the environment takes place all over the globe. Having the ability to perform immediate analysis in remote locations can make or break a research project.
Robust IC systems have allowed researchers to continue their analysis in some spectacular locations, from the Southern Ocean to the edge of the Arctic Circle and anywhere in between. Follow a trip to one of these locations here.
At the Polish Polar Station, surface and precipitation waters are analyzed by ion chromatography
The Polish Polar Station lies at the Hornsund fjord on Spitzbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Among other things, investigations into the long-distance transport of air pollutants into the Arctic are conducted here. To accomplish this, the researchers at the Polar Station link ion chromatography measurements in precipitates to meteorological data. IC product manager Marcin Wiklak from Poland reports on his visit to Spitzbergen.

CHORIPAN WITH BRZ FOOD
Have you tried Choripan before? Choripan is a type of sandwich with chorizo popular in South America and is one of my favourite things!
The name comes from the combination of the names of its ingredients: a grilled sausage and a crusty bread. But every region has its own recipe too.

THE AWOSTING CLUBA private wilderness Reserve dedicated to preserving the natural and scenic resources of the Shawangunk Ridge while continuing its half century commitment to its conservation and education based community.
For over half a century, the Awosting Club has partnered with countless educational and environmental outdoor leadership organizations, along with members and friends alike, on its' private wilderness Reserve. Come as a school, club or organization to immerse your students and members in nature based learning experiences, or come as a trial member to stay, hike and be transformed by nature.

Education / partnerships
Educating younger generations with nature as the lead teacher is at the heart of the Awosting Club. It has been shown that children that spend time in nature become better stewards of the environment and happier, healthier human beings. Furthermore, in a world inundated with technological distractions, a connection and exposure to nature increases attention spans, fuels imaginations and inspires all the senses.

John Atwater Bradley
Club founder, land steward and waterfall chaser
In the mid 1950's John Atwater Bradley, then a graduate student, attended a conference in Cragsmoor, the site of a celebrated art colony not far from what is now the Awosting Reserve and The Awosting Club. The next morning at dawn, he went out for an exploratory hike and did not return until long after dark. Bradley hiked through evergreen and hardwood forests, along bubbling streams, roaring waterfalls and shimmering mountain lakes. He discovered an incredible wilderness like none he'd ever seen, populated by whitetail deer, black bear, fox, racoons, bobcat and coyote as well as a natural aviary of hawks, peregrine falcons, owls, eagles and pileated woodpeckers. That day he fell in love with the Shawangunk Ridge.
A year later he leased Ridgetop Retreat at Awosting Lake, (which still exists on the far side of the Lake) then owned by Minnewaska Hotel Company, and during the ensuing years he carefully acquired the surrounding land, naming it The Awosting Reserve. He served as its steward and custodian, limiting its use to his family, friends, Boy and Girl Scouts, Outward Bound and outdoor conservation groups while dedicating it to environmental education, children's programs and family recreation. He co-founded the Shawangunk Ridge Biodiversity Partnership and has always been working towards creating a conservation based community on the land: a community of families who understand and support the importance of preserving the unique natural and scenic resources of the Shawangunk Ridge.
Bradley and his family still live on the property, and after 50 years of sharing the property with educational organizations, schools, artists, writers, explorers, camps, family and friends, are excited to invite others to fall in love with the Shawangunk Ridge as John Bradley had over 70 years ago. Bradley's daughter, Camilla, and her husband and family are keeping the Awosting traditions alive by encouraging others to experience nature:her lessons, examples, and raw beauty while emphasizing the responsibility we have as human beings that share this earth, to tread lightly, act respectfully and teach our children through nature the importance of preserving and conserving our natural resources. The camp atmosphere at The Awosting Club is fertile ground for this mission, promoting outdoor adventures: from sleeping to eating to playing to communing with nature in all her glory.


Grado – Il sole bacia i bellibrand identity, competition
The Grado town logo was developed for a contest looking for the new touristic identity of Grado.
Grado is a town located in the northern part of Italy that is surrounded by the sea.
The identity focuses on the idea of the sun: Grado — Il sole bacia i belli (italian expression for “The sun shines on the righteous”).
The project was awarded with an Honorable Mention.


We arrived Monday in Reno and turned in our plane ticket stubs for a free ski pass at Squaw Valley in Tahoe, California.
Also learned the hard way that our East Coast skis are pretty good on everything except fresh snow. We went off into the deep stuff two times only to both end up waist deep and in a full sweat trying to get out. That's a good way to tear an acl! Would need to rent skis to try that again.
10am on top of the Siberia Bowl.
Skied in perfect conditions all morning, until a storm came in and blew us off the high peaks. But, with some practice and learning to trust the edges of the skis, we were still able to have a great afternoon. Tahoe is just unbelievable!
For us, it's been15 years in the making. Incredible!

Have you met Fania?
Check out my Q&A with @apresjosephine
Extract “Having spent a significant amount of time in the United States, is there a difference between blackness in Paris and blackness in, say, Brooklyn?
Blackness in Paris is definitely more African or Caribbean as a result of the direct proximity to the Continent and the Caribbean. At the same time, blackness in Brooklyn is more political, self-aware and organized. Also, I am haitian so Brooklyn is kind of a freeing place for Haitians. In Paris, I don’t have a lot of Haitians. ”

Dentists in New York have one of the highest vacancy rates of any profession, and that’s not the fault of a shortage of new ones, says Dr. William W. Sullivan, a professor of public health and public policy at New York University.
Sullivan and his colleagues have conducted an analysis of the dental care available in Manhattan over the last two decades and concluded that there are three primary reasons why the dentists have so few new residents: the lack of qualified dentists, the low supply of dentists and the lack or difficulty of getting dental insurance.
“In the last 30 years, we’ve seen dental inflation and there’s been an increasing demand for dentists in the city,” Sullivan says.
The supply of dental care is still not high enough to meet the growing demand for a dentist, so a dentist who can’t get the job is going to be out of business.
New York is not alone in this.
About 1.4 million Americans, or 1 in 4 adults, live with a chronic dental condition that requires extensive care, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
“There are fewer and fewer people who are able to maintain a quality of care for themselves and their families,” Sullivan adds.
In addition to dental issues, health care is a major factor in keeping people from becoming permanent residents of New York.
About 50% of residents who move to New York from a state with lower dental insurance have to pay more in dental insurance premiums, according the New York State Association of Dental Plans.
“The more you have dental coverage, the more expensive you have to be to have a dentist in your home,” Sullivan explains.
“It’s not that the cost of living is too high, it’s just that you have a lot of options in your health care and dentistry, which is a disadvantage to people who have less access to care.”
In addition, many people who move out of their homes for dental reasons, like for work or retirement, don’t have the dental insurance that comes with New York’s high cost of health care.
For this reason, dental insurance has become a key reason why people leave New York, Sullivan says, and it’s a factor that will continue to weigh on the state’s finances.

“If you’re moving out of a state where the rate of dental insurance is not high, and you’re just looking for a lower cost option, and they’ve got dental plans available, then it makes sense to get dental insurance,” he says.
“Because there’s a very limited amount of options for dental care in New Zealand.”
In New Zealand, the rate is higher than in New England, but it’s not as high as it is in New Mexico or California, where dental care costs about $1,000 more per year than in the U.S. “But if you’re looking for the lowest cost option for dental coverage in New Hampshire or Vermont, that’s the biggest barrier for people,” Sullivan notes.
“We know that New York has some of the lowest rates in the country, but the rates are not as low as the rates in some of those other states.”
The New Jersey State Assembly is scheduled to vote on legislation that would increase dental insurance coverage in the state and would allow the state to negotiate prices for dental services with insurers.
The bill would also require the state Department of Health to develop a plan to provide affordable dental care.
But as Sullivan and other experts have pointed out, the state could not afford to provide dental insurance to everyone, and so it will continue negotiating with insurers to provide coverage for low-income New Yorkers.
That could mean an increase in costs for some New Yorkers, but would also lead to lower rates for other New Yorkers as well, as insurance companies would be forced to cover more of the costs for lower-income people, as they would be able to cover them more easily.
Sullivan says that New Jersey’s dental care system is a model for other states that are looking to expand their dental insurance programs.
“I think that it’s really important for New Jersey to be on the forefront of what other states are doing, and to really build on what we have already done here,” he explains.
But it may not be the best solution for everyone.
“New York has the highest dental insurance rates in North America,” Sullivan acknowledges.
“And in the case of people who live in rural areas, the costs are more expensive because they don’t live near a dental clinic.”
For the next few years, Sullivan will be visiting New York and other states looking to provide additional dental coverage for the people who moved out.
“That’s going to make the state healthier and the economy better,” he predicts.
“To do that, we’re going to have to look at a whole host of different options.”

We have had a really nice and sunny summer this year in London. Which is why, in my opinion, I react so badly to the rainy days. Despite my biggest efforts, I am not able to go on holiday this year (sad face), but thanks to the weather it felt a little bit like I was away. I don’t have the powers to control the weather (yet!) so when clouds cover up the sky I make myself cosy in bed with candles lit up and I fly away to the most beautiful destinations I have already visited.
Today, it’s Corfu. This not-too-little-not-too-big Greek island became a safe haven for Odysseus on his eventful way home and it became my remedy for all the sorrows. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it from the plane – and felt more infatuated with every day spent there. Corfu is said to be the greenest Greek island. And it certainly is. With everything blooming around us I could not feel anything less but relaxed.
We chose to stay on the East Coast in a little town called Messonghi. It turned out to be a very good choice. The town was filled with more mature travellers and not with young party-goers, so there were no clubs or parties nearby. Such a peaceful area. What is more, it only took us about 30-40 minutes to get to the capital of the island to where we travelled multiple times.
Walking around the capital feels like something out of this world. With its Venetian streets filled with little shops, you can always find something for yourself. Even though I was window-shopping most of the time, I did find amazing places where I just had to buy something! I am not a big fan of doing anything but sitting by the sea when on holiday, but I am so happy I made an exception with Corfu. Once I walked into the town and got lost in the labyrinth of quirky streets, all I wanted to do was to come back every day. I even did some sightseeing and enjoyed it (gasp).
Very often locals would advise us to rent a car and use it to go around the island. It did sound like a fabulous idea, but I don’t feel super confident behind a wheel in normal conditions and, believe me, Greek streets and drivers are something else. I felt a lot safer on a bus, even though I did have moments when I thought we were going to crash. Public transport in Corfu is really cheap and will not break the bank. It also makes it so much easier to admire the views!
I am absolutely in love with Greek food, it is one of the best cuisines in the world in my opinion. Bursting with flavour every bite sends chills down my spine. Of course, you can find other cuisines in Corfu (there’s even a McDonald’s if that’s what you’re after) but why come to Greece if you don’t visit at least one taverna? No one can run a restaurant like Greeks – I always feel so welcome from the moment I walk through the door. Sometimes they even give you extra food for free, just because you exist! And I’m always up for free food.
I am a sucker for carbs. Greeks did not disappoint me with their choice in pastries, bread and desserts – I had absolutely everything there was on offer. I even stole some food from the children’s corner in the hotel restaurant (their chicken nuggets looked like animals!). Spinach pie, baklava, pita bread, doughnuts… I was in my carb heaven. I also consumed buckets of Greek salad. If I didn’t like anything about Greece, I would want to go back purely because of their food. Fortunately, I love everything about it.
Corfu may be just a little island but it definitely is far away from boring. I will always cherish the memories I made there and will come back to them whenever the weather gets a bit dull.
Who knows where I end up next?
