Anatomy of a Coin: How to Identify Coins On Sight – Gainesville News

You have probably heard of the "heads" and "tails" sides of a coin. But there is so much more to take note of on any legal tender coin!

Let's break down each element of a coin's design with the handy infographic below.

If you would like to print out the infographic above for educational uses, please visit the Gainesville Coins infographics page.

The heads side of the coin is technically called the obverse. This simply means it is the front of the coin.

Fittingly, the obverse is typically where you will find an actual head or face. This is usually the portrait of a national leader or a symbolic representation of the country.

Sometimes, the obverse will not feature a person at all. In these cases, you can normally tell which side is supposed to be the front by the presence of the date.

Keep in mind that there is no concrete rule about which side must be considered the obverse. It is a matter of convention.

The tails side or back side of the coin is referred to as the reverse. It usually features the name of the country that issued that coin.

Again, there is no uniform rule for which side of the coin is heads or tails. You might even find a person's face on the reverse of a coin on some occasions.

Any image or writing on a coin can be called a device. It's simply another way of describing a feature of a coin's design.

Certain devices are required by law to appear on all United States legal tender coins:

The edge of the coin may have its own design.

The simplest edge design is a plain edge. It is smooth and featureless.

Probably the most common edge design is a reeded edge. This is also called a serrated edge or milled edge. Reeded edges look like a series of vertical lines along the edge of the coin. The reeding was also used to make it obvious if small amounts of metal had been filed away from the coin.

A lettered edge features inscriptions along the edge of the design.

Similarly, a decorative edge will show other symbols or decorations, such as stars.

There are two different ways that an image can be imparted onto a coin's surface: relief or incuse.

The much more common method is called relief. In sculpture, you may see this technique called bas-relief. With relief, an image is created by the features of the coin being raised above the field. You can check this yourself by closely examining a coin from its edge.

On the other hand, incuse designs are basically the opposite process. The design is created by engraving down into the surface of the coin, so the design features are all below the field. In the art world, incuse is often called intaglio.

The Indian Head design by artist Bela Lyon Pratt is among the only incuse coin designs you will ever find. It appeared on $5 and $2.50 gold coins in the U.S. from 1908 to 1929.

Some coinsespecially those made for collectorswill exhibit special finishes. These finishes help to highlight or enhance the beauty of the coin's design.

The standard finish for today's coins is Brilliant Uncirculated, abbreviated as "BU". This is the normal, shiny finish that many of us have come to expect on coins. Brilliant Uncirculated finishes impart an attractive cartwheel luster to the coin.

A proof finish is very popular for collectible coins. Proof coins feature specially polished fields that have a mirror-like appearance. The relief devices stand out against this mirrored background due to being "frosted."

2004-W Proof American Silver Eagle. When photographed, proof coins typically appear to have a black background.

In addition to proof and BU, mints around the world have developed other eye-appealing finishes for certain special edition coins. These include colorized coins, reverse proof coins, and other forms of enhanced uncirculated finishes (sometimes called burnished, sandblasted, or satin proofs).

There is a clear reason why this information is important to know. You will find it far easier to identify a coin when you understand its anatomy! Identifying your coins is the first step toward determining the coins' value, as well.

CRUISE TO THE EDGE 2022: Anatomy of a Floating Festival – Sonic Perspectives

When the inaugural Cruise to the Edge was announced in 2013, featuring Yes and about a dozen other bands, it may have caused some derision amongst Prog fans. So, its come to this? many were likely thinking, Whats next? A final stand in Vegas? Those misguided initial assumptions have long been vanquished over the subsequent half-decade of follow-up Cruises, replaced by zealous support from fans and competition from bands to receive an invitation. Rather than turning into a graveyard of ancient dinosaur acts, a bevy of younger bands (and their fans) annually inject new energy aboard, even as they play alongside the veterans of the genre. Indeed, the old guard is often re-energized to step it up a notch as well, epitomized by the always-animated Adrian Belew literally performing his Crimson song Dinosaur with his Power Trio of younger musicians.

After 2020s April Cruise to the Edge (CTTE) was scrapped for obvious reasons, its been a long time coming for the followup from 2019s triumphant CTTE to take place. Now boasting over 3 dozen bands (quite a leap from its relatively modest beginnings) and its largest ship yet on Royal Caribbeans Mariner of the Seas, CTTE was finally ready to return even though for the first time ever the Cruises namesake band Yes were not aboard. Marillions Steve Hogarth joked, Looks like well be headliningIts just sort of bizarre, really. Its Yes cruise! Its like not wanting to be a member of any club that would have you as a member. However, the success of CTTE22 proves that the phenomenon now transcends any one band and there seems to be plenty of runwayerocean, for future Cruises regardless of whether Yes is onboard or not.

So, what IS a Cruise to the Edge, anyway? How does all of this work and how is it different from other festivals? For the neophyte, heres a quick overview to get your sea-faring legs acclimated. Lets start with the obvious: youre aboard a ship with 3,000+ other prog fans and 3 dozen+ bands with no escape. Right away you can decide if that scenario is heaven or hell for you, given your proclivities. Assuming its the former (otherwise, why read this article?), lets emphasize the situation: you are going to be living and breathing Prog for the entire week. You finally are meeting other people who know who the hell Moon Safari is, the entire family tree history of Yes, the latest phenomenon drummer who is performing in such-and-such band, and can tell you why Klone from France is the next band you must discover and, after seeing them, you agree. That could happen at any Prog festival too but the immediacy of being together on a ship for a week means everything is heightened ten-fold. Literally. You are bumping into your favorite bands in the dining rooms, the hallways, the elevators, the bars. You are meeting new Prog friends in all of these circumstances, too. Its one big Prog celebration for over 5 days and, really, once you experience the relentless overwhelm and joy of Prog nirvana aboard, youll be hooked.

Logistically there is no way to see 36 bands in one week but youd be surprised how many different sets you can take in. Nearly every band aboard plays two sets during the week, usually about an hour long though around a dozen of the more notable names and headliners play from 75 90 minutes. Their two sets might be identical but often many of the bands will change the set-list a good deal, especially if theyre already on tour or are rehearsed to play 2-hour concerts. At first the 1 hour time-frame might seem paltry given the excesses of Prog but in this context it actually works. It also reflects the best approach to take: instead of coming primarily to see a few choice bands, enjoy sampling from the generous buffet offered CTTE is an indulgent smorgasbord of overflowing Prog prowess. Carpe Diem! (and, yes, Mike Portnoy is always aboard to promote the Carpe Diem ethos)

There are usually 4 venues on the ship: in this case the indoor Royal Theater is the most deluxe, boasting a brilliant sound system and over 1,000 seats, an ideal way to watch a proper concert. The cavernous Studio B is the next biggest indoor venue with plenty of stadium seating, an excellent place for a show though ironically this usually is an indoor skating rink, so the opportunity to host a Rick Wakeman caper (and cape) was sorely missed. The Starlight Lounge is a smaller venue for some of the lesser-known names on the marquee (but dont be fooled these often can be some of the best shows on board). Finally, the outdoor Pool Stage is more of a Prog party scene, standing room only in front of the stage, perfect for those beautiful sail-away shows and some of the harder head-banging moments.

Concerts are usually happening concurrently so passengers can come and go to shows as they please and often hard choices must be made about which band to see and which to missuntil their next set. For your favorite bands you may want to make sure to see both of their sets, whereas you may just dip in for 15 minutes of a new discovery before heading on to other delights. Even finding time to stop for a proper meal in one of the many dining establishments can be tricky; for many passengers, the music takes precedence and they make due with quick stops at the buffet restaurant. Music gets started each day around 11am and usually doesnt end until after 1am, so there is little down time when a choice doesnt have to be made.

In addition to the featured concerts there are even more side events continually going on: Q&A sessions with the bands, official group photo opportunities (though many artists will pause for a selfie when you catch them in a hallway), Eddie Trunks live radio show with featured guests, a riotous Karaoke bar, and a remarkable Late Night Live series hosted by Rob Rutz (founded by Bill & Devora Goldman who host a more elaborate Prog On The Ranch beforehand) where passengers sign up in advance to perform Prog classics together on stage, sometimes with featured Artists joining them, often to spectacular results. There usually are a couple of up-charge intimate events, too, like a wine tasting & story-telling session or a Painting-with-Artists session. This year Casey McPherson also generated several events onboard to support his To Cure A Rose foundation which raised over $40,000. Oh yes, and since we are actually on a cruise, there are a couple of ports of call to be made so that you can get off the boat and go frolic on the beach, take an exotic snorkeling or zip-lining or kayak excursion, or just have a fancy cocktail while rubbing elbows with more of your Prog heroes.

Whew. Getting the picture yet? Its Prog Paradise. So, what of the bands themselves on CTTE22? This year there were several bands that took the ship by storm (so to speak) during their Royal Theater shows, being on the tongue of many-a-passenger as one of their top 3 shows of the Cruise: John Youngs band Lifesigns held a last-night send off in the Theater which literally hit new heights as the band aired their latest album Altitude in full and received one standing ovation after another. Dave Bainbridges soaring epic guitar solo for Last One Home is what guitar heroes are made of, while Jon Poole shatters the stereotype of sullen bass players. The love was palpable. The night before Riverside held court for one of the weeks most heralded sets with a stunning retrospective of their 20 years together, though it must be mentioned that their earlier Pool Stage show also reached legendary status for withstanding the fierce winds that challenged audience and band alike. Martin Barres band kept a rapt audience awake until 2am with a full reading of the Aqualung album (classics like Cross-Eyed Mary were played flute-less and with more edge) and many more classics from this 50-year veteran of the live concert scene, while Haken continued charting their ascension to the top of the prog metal scene with a killer Theater show, focusing on their latest album, the presciently-titled Virus.

The official headliners garnered plenty of acclaim as well, all performing primarily in the Theater. Marillion is obviously well-schooled in the art of festivals and here they ably made CTTE their home with spectacular sets which were some of the longest on the Cruise. Featuring their excellent new album An Hour Before Its Dark, which many fans claim is one of their best, their show was a delight from start to finish. Their first set had some technical issues resulting in a few start/stops which frustrated front-man Hogarth but ultimately resulted in a powerhouse finale of Neverland to channel his emotions. Super-group Transatlantic wrapped up their April tour of new album The Absolute Universe with a complete reading of the extended version during one set (including video projections from Christian Rios) and a back-catalog set on the other night. Although Roine Stolts voice was under the weather during the Cruise, his guitar playing was fluid as ever and Ted Leonard delivered many of Stolts vocal lines in a unique cameo role. Along with Pete Trewavas and the ubiquitous Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy, the well-oiled machine of Transatlantic blew the roof off. Alan Parsons Live Project was also featured as a headliner, delivering an extremely polished (perhaps too squeaky clean) set of the hits that so many of the audience had grown up with, while legendary guitar player Al Di Meola appeared in a surprisingly stripped-down set of acoustic music accompanied only by a percussionist. Legendary.

More than any Cruise to the Edge prior, the range of artists was wildly diverse. This was likely due to the fact that sister-cruise On The Blue did not sail this year, so the promoters combined some of both acts onto the same ship to draw a bigger crowd. The result was a flip-flop from the relatively mellow crooning of Justin Hayward and Al Stewart offering acoustic renditions of their timeless classics to packed crowds in Studio B on one day, to Pain of Salvation detonating a devastating performance in the same venue the next night. For the open minded listener, both extremes were fantastically rewarding. And for those who do enjoy some head-banging with their Prog, the Pain of Salvation set was quickly hailed as one of the most riveting of the whole week. French newcomers Klone also struck a chord on the Pool Stage with satisfying head banging, winning over many new fans.

Part of the charm of CTTE is experiencing bands and combinations that have never been on stage before and in some cases, may never again. There were several debuts onboard, one of the most notable being Randy McStine and Marco Minnemann who had released two albums during the pandemic but yet to ever play live in concert. As if their mind-boggling skills werent enough, they added bassist extraordinaire Mohini Dey and the acclaimed Nick DVirgilio into the live lineup for a virtuosic powerhouse Deys incredible Konnakol singing and bass playing interlude and duet with Minnemann blew away the room. It was a triumphant pair of shows for the quartet but especially for McStine, whose compositions and performance shined brightly, and who on the final day of the Cruise was announced as part of Porcupine Trees upcoming live touring band. Minnemann, meanwhile, couldnt sit still (as usual) and teamed up with The Zappa Band for a pair of remarkable shows without having had a proper rehearsal with them. Unbelievable.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Agudo formed a new all-star band to perform his original music for a brilliant set, Jakko Jakszyk (King Crimson) played his first solo gig in 37 years with top-tier support musicians mostly from the Zappa Band highlighting his excellent recent solo album, and Lorelei & Durga McBroom performed their first featured gigs together including inspired original music and songs from their history singing with Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones. Durga even brought the house down with an incendiary reading of Cult of Personality. Pattern-Seeking Animals played some of their first live concerts ever, finally airing music from the three albums they had recorded over the past three years. It was worth the wait, as a 5-piece version of the band ripped through the complex but extremely engaging material, Leonard/Meros/Keegan/Atlas/Ino sounding even better than the albums thanks to a skilled mix by Rich Mouser.

Even well-known bands like to try out something a little different onboard. Haken relished returning to the stage after 3 years with a mostly-covers set for their Pool Stage gig, hitting some 80s highlight moments from Queen, Yes and Toto before going where few bands dare to tread: Spinal Taps Big Bottom and Stonehenge complete with a dancing Jimmy Keegan around a miniature monolith. Where the hell else are you going to witness that? District 97 took a pause from their own hard-hitting material to bring out guest Mike Portnoy and do a take on Alanis Morissettes You Oughta Know. And the brilliant Moon Safari delighted audiences as they always do with their incredible vocal harmonies and musicianship, even though they faced the challenge of not having their official lead singer aboard. They succeeded spectacularly.

Theres serious music aboard, too. Musos, including many of the featured Artists, gravitated toward Simons Phillips sets with his mind-blowing band Protocol. Reportedly Phillips own drum kit was too large to fit on the Star Lounge stage, so his second set had to be moved to the much larger Studio B. Jazz fusion fans could also take in guitarist Alex Machaceks band and then add a little more rock to the equation with Jane Getters impressive debut on the ship. Alan Hewitt & One Nation melded a bit of fusion into their uplifting rock performances, while Stu Hamm laid down the bass grooves with his trio for a wonderfully diverse set. More experimental music came from keyboardist Adam Holzman during a solo spot which combined electronics with jazz piano and a guest visit from Randy McStine for a spacious Here Comes the Flood.

Nektars impressive longevity keeps infusing new energy into their sets, generating enthusiasm from adoring crowds and even picking up new fans along the way after 50 years of existence. Even Claudio Simonetti held court with Goblin for some good ole horror Prog much to the joy of the Star Lounge audience. Also coming back from the dead, Saga performed a very lively set, shattering the expectations set by their farewell shows years earlier on CTTE18. And while Roine Stolts voice couldnt quite be revived, The Flower Kings overflowed Studio Bs capacity early on with Hasse Froberg taking on most of the vocal duties during a set which largely focused on the bands earliest albums to the crowds delight.

As far as the classic bands go, Wishbone Ashs and Cruise-favorite Dave Kerzner continued to assemble some of Progs finest into his band, including Billy Sherwood on bass and the mighty Joe Deninzon on violin, for sets which largely focused on his upcoming album The Travelerbut also included surprises like a song from Kevin Gilbert, sung by drummer and fellow Gilbert band-mate Nick DVirgilio. Fernando Perdomo usually closes Kerzners sets with a nearly Townsend-esque treatment of his guitar; this year the guitar was literally launched into the audience during the finale. But it came back for Perdomos own sets with his Out to Sea Band, featuring music from his four instrumental albums of that name, along with a piece by featured guitarist Dave Bainbridge.

Guitarist Dave Cureton played fiery debut sets of his own, en lieu of his full band IO Earth being unable to make it at the last minute. And Marbin brought their shredding instrumental music to the stage and their troubadour gypsy jazz towelleverywhere on the ship throughout the week. Literally. This author was sitting in the Promenade with friends outside a restaurant when Marbins Dani & Danny pulled out their instruments and started serenading us, soon joined spontaneously by Nick DVirgilio who utilized silverware on the table as his percussion. Thats what happens on Cruise to the Edge.

Believe it or not, this epically long overview doesnt even cover everything featured aboard, not to mention the one-off spontaneous jams that pop up around the ship, whether at Brook Hansens piano bar lounge or a special guest cameo at Late Night Live like McStine/DVirgilio/Meros covering Robin Trower songs. But we should mention the pre-Cruise Party Concert which happens on land the night before boarding the ship. This year it featured the incredible Alan Hewitt & One Nation band, the dueling pianos of Will Doughty & Tyson Leslie and a crowning set from the newly formed Progject featuring Ryo Okumoto, Jonathan Mover, Michael Sadler, Matt Dorsey and Mike Keneally. What a way to start the week!

There are many brilliant Prog music festivals around the world. But theres a certain magic that happens in an outrageously over-the-top venue like a cruise ship. It may not be to everybodys taste but for the 3,000+ Prog fans aboard the Mariner of the Seas, Cruise to the Edge was a Prog Party like no other. Keep your eyes peeled for what CTTE23 has in store.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Jesse Williams Says the Finale Will Assure Fans Japril Still ‘Exist out There’ – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Greys Anatomy actors come and go. In season 18, fans were thrilled to see Kate Walsh as Addison Montgomery again. The season will end with the return of Jesse Williams, and Sarah Drew as Jackson Avery and April Kepner. This is what Williams said about the upcoming episode.

Williams left the medical show after 12 seasons last year. Hes now in a Broadway play called Take Me Out. But the actor is coming back for just one episode.

Deadline reported Williams and Drew would be in the finale, which airs on May 26. The couple left together to be in Boston to run a foundation. They most likely have kept in touch with people at Grey-Sloan, but fans have been hearing less of them.

Jacksons mother, Catherine (Debbie Allen), is still at the hospital. Shes been focused on saving the residency program, which is currently on probation. Ill Cover You also revealed that her cancer has progressed.

The characters appearance is almost here. Williams talked with Extra TV about the upcoming episode and what itll mean to fans.

Fans can expect a little look behind the curtain at whats been happening off-screen since we left since I left, he said. Were very much I can tell, particularly Jackson and April very alive in their hearts, but this, you know, it helps assure them that they still exist out there, the actor later said. And we have them to thank for that. Fans of Greys are absolutely incredible and active and creative and fun. And we dont have jobs or this level of character development without them.

He then answered if a Japril spinoff is in the works. I dont know, he said. I dont know, maybe.

The actors and show have been teasing the return. Drew tweeted a video of her asking, Hey, guys, hows it going? Williams then joins her and hugs her.

Oh, its a video, he said. Hey, thanks for coming to New York for the play. Drew laughs at this comment. She tweeted, Hes so mad I havent seen #takemeout yet. @iJesseWilliams.

It looks like the actors are still good friends. Drew has played other roles since she left Greys Anatomy. She played Cindy Turner in Cruel Summer, Sarah Brown in Amber Brown, and will be in a movie called Say it in German.

Anatomy of a successful K99 application – National Institute on Aging

Jamie LAHVIC, Program Officer (Training),Office of Strategic Extramural Programs (OSEP).

Since its NIH launch in 2006, the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award has facilitated the transition of postdocs into independent investigator positions by providing the opportunity for two phases of funding, across and up to five years. Still, its not easy to write a successful K99 application, and these complex, multi-part submissions often reach 100 pages in length.

Many applicants benefit from reading previously successful applications and receiving advice from K99 awardees in their professional networks. To make this type of resource accessible to all prospective K99 applicants, NIA worked with one of our awardees to publish their highly scored application.

Applicants for the upcoming June 15 and future K99 deadlines can explore our recently revamped NIA K99/R00 website, including sample applications from Dr. Ryo Sanabria, now an assistant professor at the University of Southern California. Dr. Sanabria generously provided not only their successful 2020 K99 resubmission, but also their initial 2019 submission, along with reviewer summary statements for each application. With this pairing, applicants can see how Dr. Sanabria successfully adjusted their application and addressed reviewer comments for resubmission.

Note, though, that any sample application is a snapshot in time: Always read the FOA and follow the most updated instructions. As you explore this application, remember that this is a single example of a successful K99, and that every application will be unique. Its important to tailor your research plan, including your career development plan, to your own specific needs. NIA receives quality K99 applications written in a variety of styles, and we hope to publish additional sample applications in the future. You can also explore additional K award sample applications from NIAID.

In addition, as you prepare your K99, keep in mind these general tips:

Finally, remember that the K99 is only one award type, and it is not right for everyone. For example, for postdocs who are closer to independence and dont need the additional postdoctoral training funded by the K99, other career development awards may be a better fit.

If you are planning to apply ahead of the June 15 deadline, we hope this anatomy of a successful K99 application is helpful, and we wish you good luck in your efforts! Our NIA Training and Career Development team is happy to answer your questions about the K99 or other career development awards at NIATraining@mail.nih.gov.

Consent is questioned in ‘Anatomy of a Scandal’ – The Ticker

Netflixs original series Anatomy of a Scandal hit television screens across the United States on April 15. The suspenseful series explores one of societys most controversial issues: sexual consent.

The series takes place in London and follows the lives of a small Oxford alumni group who land some of the highest positions in government. The privileged individuals each have a story to tell as the show portrays uncanny depths into the minds of the fictional characters created by Sarah Vaughan, who wrote the novel the show is based on.

Kate Woodcroft, played by actress Michelle Dockery, is an intrepid lawyer taking on a high-profile case involving James Whitehouse, played by actor Rupert Friend. The court case involves severe allegations of rape brought to light by Jamess former mistress, Olivia Lytton, played by actress Naomi Scott.

James is aware of his sexual scandal hitting the newspaper and warns his wife Sophie, played by actress Sienna Miller, of the misfortune that soon wrecks their family. She keeps her cool and carries on with her day until the familys publicist arrives at their house late evening, informing the couple of the damage a scandal could do to her husbands social and political image.

The series graphically demonstrates the horrors of sexual assault and how wealth can free criminals from being held accountable for their wrongdoings.

The elite group of main characters in the show portray various depths of trauma and what it does to a person. Scandals, divorce and infidelity are only a glimpse of what the British series denotes.

Anatomy of a Scandal uses metaphorical scenes to symbolize human emotions when faced with unpredictable conflict. The shows creators, David Kelly and Melissa James Gibson use distinctive approaches to capture the audiences attention with the power of exaggeration.

The actresses in the series do a spectacular job fulfilling the roles of women in London who must prove themselves to society in respectable ways as their reputations are put to the test.

The suspense and mystery that unfolds episode after episode makes Anatomy of a Scandal a binge-worthy series.

To the extent that the series draws us in, much of the credit goes to the actors particularly Dockery and Miller, who manage to find something raw and human among the shows most ridiculous excesses as two women pushed to emotional extremes by the pressures of the case, The Hollywood Reporter wrote.

The series obtained a 44% audience score along with a score of 61% on the Tomatometer, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite its mediocre ratings, Anatomy of a Scandal is underrated, as the show illustrates grim depictions of men in power and women who suffer the consequences of their inaction.

Excellent timing, Netflix. #AnatomyOfAScandal is an excellent portrayal of the twisted morals and mindset of the privileged. Hard to watch at times but bloody brilliant, a Twitter user wrote.

The series is a unique psychological thriller that looks at sexual assault through a womans eyes. Full of raw emotion, Anatomy of a Scandal is the show to watch. However, the six fast- paced episodes of the British series are intense and may trigger some.

Jane Macdougall: The Bookless Club and the anatomy of composting – Vancouver Sun

If youre like me, you can fill up one of those stainless steel compost buckets in just one family meal prep.

Its a little bit of backyard magic.

A little bit of alchemy and thrift.

And its one of the most responsible things you can do.

Im talking about compost.

Turning what soil transformed into plants back into soil so it can transform into plants again.

A perfect example of how things ought to work.A perfectly closed loop.

Older homes seemed to always have a compost pit for lawn clippings and leaf debris.

When I was a kid, poking those pits to reveal skeins of baby worms was fascinating. Turning the compost pile was just one of those things adults did, like putting up Christmas lights or cleaning gutters. In my childish estimation, composting was a necessary part of adulthood, perhaps not as thrilling as burning stuff in an incinerator can, but entertaining in its own right.

Retired microbiologist Dr. Peter Stovell, The Compost King of Kerrisdale, lived down the block from me. His front yard was eaten up with gigantic compost piles of food scraps collected from UBC Food Services, each pile swathed in black plastic. He could be seen routinely plunging augers and pitchforks into each pile to determine I dont know what. Giant thermometers registered the temperatures of each pyramid. Dr. Stovell was discovered one midnight hosing down the piles, alarmed by the elevated temperatures the decomposing material had generated. We imagined him hollering, Run! Shes gonna blow! as his decomposing banana peels and apple cores created their own China Syndrome.

I bought myself a fancy composter that, in order to speed up the decomposition process, spins in its own cradle. A dark and distinguished apparatus, it is tucked into one discreet corner of the garden. Ive given it several years of sincere effort, but I simply cannot get it to spin once its even one-third full. Its like trying to get a Saint Bernard into a car.

To that end, I had defaulted to the City of Vancouver green bin composting program. Being a girl with tartan blood, this wasnt entirely satisfactory. All that nutrient-rich material being outsourced when my own garden could have benefited? Alas!

Years ago, I did a TV series on environmental tips. One of the tips was to run food scraps through a blender to make a liquid fertilizer. I take that back do not do that. I learned the hard way that if you pour liquefied caesar salad around your geraniums, rats will dig up those geraniums looking for the croutons they suspect were part of the deal.

So, how to reconcile my Scottish self with my composting genes? Id heard about Pela, a B.C. company that was revolutionizing composting. I contacted them and they sent one of their devices to test. Its called the Lomi and it is to composting what the washing machine was to the washboard. What my not-so tumbling composter takes a year to do, the Lomi claims to do overnight: kitchen waste into topsoil within 20 hours. As a woman who has forsaken miracle skin creams for lard, I was skeptical.

If youre like me, you can fill up one of those stainless steel compost buckets in just one family meal prep. If the Lomi did what it said it could do, it might be the end to the endless discussion of who was going to dump the bucket. I set the Lomi up on my kitchen counter and loaded it with the detritus of meal preparations. Its a handsome apparatus and looks like what a bread machine would look like were it designed by Steve Jobs. I set the program for warp-speed composting the Lomi setting as opposed to the two lesser settings and waited to be astonished.

The next morning I took off the lid and discovered that my bucket full of food scraps had been transformed. Where there had been potato peels, orange rinds, egg shells, and something indistinguishable discovered from the back of the fridge, there was now a fine, dry soil. The mass of the kitchen scraps was reduced to two odourless cups of nutrient-rich topsoil. If youd like to see what this looks like, check out the photos on my website.

So, it appears there will be fewer pitchforks in the future of composting, but topsoil within 20 hours is a magical transformation worth waking up to. And now hallelujah! no one has to lug the compost bucket to the alley.

Was/is motherhood everything you expected? Did you have to tailor your parenting style to suit the expectations of others? Is it harder to be a mom today than it used to be?

I often think of my grandmother and the roles she managed so well. She didnt have the options that I did, but I think she could have been a CEO if she had wanted. She had all of the qualities required to excel in that role, but instead, she excelled in running a home, raising her children and contributing to her community. I run all day and feel like Im never in the right place. Everything but my work gets short-changed, but only because I could lose that job if I didnt exceed expectations. I often wonder if being spread this thin was the goal we women were after.

Today, parents who have pre-school children (up to four years old), usually have their children in full-time daycare. That is, they drop them off at 7 a.m., pick them up at 5:30 p.m., leaving two hours to get them dinner, bathed and to bed by 7:30. Compare this to parents (usually it was mothers) who do the childcare work without even a coffee break, or any kudos, benefits, holiday pay, job security, etc. Whose job is harder? Hats off and respect to any parent who does this most difficult job. They deserve much more recognition.

If truth be told, I couldnt do half of the stuff my wife does. She has managed a wider portfolio of concerns and responsibilities than I ever did. I watch my daughters juggling all of their adult responsibilities, but I dont comment. Their generation seems to think that kids will raise themselves and society will be just fine with the result. I wonder .

My husband and I were pushed into an unexpected situation in 1963 when our first child was born. She needed major surgery at two days old. She left for VGH while we waited with surreal anticipation. She had flaming red hair (also unexpected), which had to be shaved before the operation. Thankfully, the operation was successful and we were able to bring her home on Mothers Day.

I stayed on the mother track for 20 years and thankfully was able to stay home with our three children. Now, many mothers must work, juggling finding and keeping daycare as well as all of the other responsibilities of motherhood. I feel for their load and admire how many seem to keep themselves and their families balanced and stable.

Motherhood is the hardest, most thankless, self-sacrificing, draining, and wonderful job in the world. I would not trade it for the position of the CEO of the worlds richest company hands down. In the end, shaping those young lives on a day-to-day basis, as mundane as many would consider that, brings the richest rewards.
