Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect the joints, heart, nervous system, brain, skin, lungs and kidneys. It is a chronic condition. If you have lupus, you experience periods when the condition is active, known as flares, separated by periods of remission when you feel normal.
Lupus occurs when our immune system mistakenly begins to react against elements of the body's own cells as foreign material. Immune cells manufacture antibody molecules that cause damage and inflammation to the targeted tissues and organs.
The causes of lupus are not completely understood. Autoimmune diseases in general still present a challenge to medical science and lupus is no exception. Genetic as well as environmental factors can contribute to the development of lupus in an individual.
Lupus can be difficult to diagnose. The symptoms of lupus are common to other conditions and symptoms often vary between individuals. There is no single definitive test for lupus. As a result, lupus can sometimes take a long time to be diagnosed correctly.
Because it can be difficult to recognize and diagnose, it is also hard to know exactly how common lupus is. Recent estimates are that about five million people worldwide have the disease.
There is currently no cure for lupus. However, the advances that have been made in understanding lupus have transformed it from an often fatal condition to a manageable one. Correct treatment combined with lifestyle adaptations can now allow most people with lupus to lead normal lives.
A partial or complete reversal of the course of illness, such as cancer or a chronic disease. Remission can be spontaneous or the result of therapy.
Memory loss, confusion, headaches, seizures or dizziness.
Some people will experience only one or a few signs, confined to one part of the body (such as the skin). Others will experience signs in multiple parts of the body.
Lupus erythematosus appears as a 'butterfly rash' on the face.
The causes of lupus are not well understood. It is clear that genetics plays a large part. For instance, an identical twin of a person with lupus has a one-in-four chance of developing the condition. There is no single gene that causes lupus. Several different genes (more than 40 at last count) affect a person's susceptibility to lupus, as well as determining which part of the body is affected.
It is equally clear that lupus is not just a genetic disease. Lupus appears to be a combination of a genetic disposition triggered by environmental conditions.
It should be noted, however, that lupus can sometimes appear even without any particular exposure to any of these triggers.
While lupus can appear in people of all ages and kinds, some people are at greater risk than others.
Lupus is more common among adults than children.
Women are nine times more likely than men to develop lupus, particularly women of child-bearing age (15-44 years old).
Lupus is more common in certain ethnic groups than in others. People of European descent appear to be less likely to develop lupus, while people of African-American, Native American, Hispanic and Asian background are at an increased risk. These populations are also more likely to experience more severe symptoms of the disease. Lupus is thought to be more common in certain countries than in others. However, this might be the result of differences in diagnosis and reporting, rather than the true incidence of the condition.
People who have close family members with lupus are more likely to develop lupus themselves.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most well-known form of lupus and the one most people mean when they say 'lupus'. The condition can affect any part of the body. The course of disease can range from mild to life-threatening. About 15% of the people who have SLE first develop symptoms in their teens.  SLE will most often affect the kidneys, joints, skin, heart, lungs, blood vessels, liver and the nervous system.
If you have SLE, you experience periods when the condition is active, known as flares, separated by periods of remission when you feel normal. Treatment of SLE focuses on controlling its symptoms by the use of immunosuppressive medication - drugs that suppress the immune system's activity - and other types of drugs that help alleviate the symptoms.
A mild form of lupus, discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is an inflammation of the skin. It typically appears as round, raised red marks on the skin, particularly on exposed areas of the skin such as the face, ears and scalp. These can thicken and turn crusty with time and create permanent scars. DLE can also cause hair loss and bald patches. DLE can last anywhere from days to years. It may disappear, then recur at a later time. The condition can be successfully treated with medication and by avoiding exposure to sunlight.
This form of lupus can be a side effect of certain medications, including drugs for thyroid and heart conditions, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, oral contraceptives, anti-seizure medication, antibiotics and antifungals. The symptoms are like those of SLE - mostly joint and muscle pain and arthritis. Symptoms can start at any time, from a month to 10 years after starting to take the medication, but normally stop when the drug is no longer taken.
This form of lupus is characterized by skin lesions on sun-exposed areas of the body (neck, upper back, shoulders, chest, arms and hands), but rarely on the face and scalp. After they heal, the lesions do not leave scars on the skin, but the skin's color may remain altered. Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus can occur together with other types of lupus and rarely develops into serious SLE. Treatment normally involves medication and avoiding exposure to the sun.
This is a rare condition that occurs in infants. The affected babies can be born to mothers with SLE or Sjögren's syndrome (another autoimmune disease, see 'Complications' below), but also to healthy mothers. It is important to note here that most babies born to mothers with SLE will be healthy.
A medication that kills fungi or inhibits their growth.
A large gland located in the lower front part of the neck that produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, especially during childhood.

Lupus diagnosis can be challenging. The symptoms can be so varied and appear at such irregular time frames, with long periods of apparent wellness in between, that even suspecting lupus can often take a long time.
A doctor will typically make an initial lupus diagnosis on the basis of a patient's history and a physical examination. Laboratory tests will help confirm the diagnosis and rule out similar conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis). After lupus has been diagnosed, tests can be performed regularly to help monitor its progression.
Echocardiography to check for heart problems.
A blood test to detect antinuclear antibodies, which are antibodies that target molecules within the body’s cells.
A blood test that measures the rate of red blood cell sedimentation at the bottom of a test tube, which is an indicator of the level of inflammation in the body.
A localized abnormality in a bodily tissue, usually caused by injury or disease.
Lupus is normally treated with several types of medication. The two main goals of lupus treatment are to reduce inflammation and to prevent the immune system from further damaging the body. Different people can have different responses to the various treatments; a process of trial-and-error is sometimes necessary before the best treatment course is found.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) help reduce inflammation and the symptoms associated with it, such as swelling and muscle aches.
These drugs, originally used to treat malaria, were found to benefit people with lupus. They help modulate the body's immune response, though it is not clear how they work. Antimalarial drugs, particularly hydroxychloroquine, can help alleviate SLE symptoms, as well as prevent SLE flares from occurring.
Corticosteroids are a class of drugs that mimic the body's natural anti-inflammatory hormone, cortisol. They often exhibit quite powerful and fast-acting effects - and side effects, particularly if used long-term. For this reason, they are used only in severe cases of SLE, or to help control flares in the short-term. Doctors try to find the lowest effective dosage and combine corticosteroids with other forms of medication for better effect.
Immunosuppressants are a class of drugs that kill off immune cells or actively inhibit their creation, thus reducing the potency of immune reactions. Like corticosteroids, these are powerful drugs that can also have serious side effects and are used mainly for treatment of severe SLE.
In recent years, a number of new immunosuppressive drugs have been proposed and trialed for treating severe SLE that does not respond to other forms of therapy. Rituximab and belimumab are two that have been approved for use in some countries.
Stem cells are being trialed as transplant therapy for severe and persistent cases of lupus that do not respond to current treatments. This advanced type of therapy is still very much in its first stages and involves considerable expertise and expense.
The transfer of an organ or tissue from one body to another, or from one part of the body to another, for therapeutic purposes.
Kidney disease, or lupus nephritis, is a chronic inflammation of the kidneys. It is a common, serious and potentially fatal complication of SLE, developing in up to 70% of SLE cases.  Both men and women can be affected, with men being more likely to suffer more severe complications. Lupus nephritis is caused by the body's immune system targeting cells in the kidneys, resulting in chronic inflammation. Symptoms, in addition to the ones for SLE mentioned above, include foamy urine, increased blood pressure and swelling in the arms, legs, feet and hands. If treatment is not successful, kidney problems will appear and may lead to kidney failure and the need for dialysis or, in some cases, a kidney transplant.
Blood tests for analyzing kidney functions.
Lupus increases the risk of heart disease. Heart and circulation problems are responsible for a large share of deaths from the disease. Heart disease in lupus can take on many forms - it can cause inflammation of the blood vessels (veins and arteries), which may lead to atherosclerosis (a stiffening of the blood vessel walls). In addition, lupus can affect the heart itself, its valves and the membrane surrounding it (the pericardium). There may be other yet unknown factors responsible for the link between lupus and heart disease.
About half of SLE patients experience respiratory problems of one type or another, stemming from inflammation of the lungs, the airways, or the tissues surrounding them. The blood vessels leading to and from the lungs can also become inflamed, affecting lung function. People with SLE can experience chest and breathing pain, shortness of breath and a dry cough. If the diaphragm muscle has been damaged by SLE inflammation, it can lead to pain when breathing in.
SLE itself changes the immune system and may reduce its ability to fight infection.
People with SLE are not generally at a greater risk of developing cancer. However, there are some types of cancer, particularly leukemia and lymphoma, which are more common in people with SLE than in the general population. Conversely, some types of cancer are less common in people with SLE than in the general population. The immunosuppressive medication that is used to treat SLE has not been found to increase the risk of cancer.
When the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is affected by lupus, this can lead to a variety of symptoms including headache, dizziness, depression and changes in behavior.
People with lupus often complain of difficulties in thinking clearly and processing information, particularly during a lupus flare. Confusion, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and memory loss are commonly reported. This is sometimes referred to collectively as cognitive dysfunction, or colloquially as 'lupus brain fog'. The causes of this syndrome are not quite clear, but appear to be linked to the action of antibodies on brain cells and to changes in blood flow to the brain. These spells come and go, with each individual spell typically lasting only a few minutes. This condition does not get worse over time. It is managed mainly using behavioral therapy.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for sensation and movement of the body. When lupus disrupts the action of the nerve cells that constitute the PNS, the affected person may experience many symptoms, depending on which nerves are affected. Vision problems, eyelid drooping, ringing in the ears and dizziness are common complaints.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for regulating the actions of the body's automatic systems that we do not consciously control (the digestive system, heart, bladder, etc). When lupus disrupts the action of the ANS, it may cause a wide range of symptoms, including (among many others) difficulties in digestion, numbness, nausea and vomiting.
A common syndrome that is caused by a decrease of blood flow to certain areas in the body, Raynaud's phenomenon is caused by an overreaction of the capillaries in the extremities of the body - typically the fingers and toes - to cold temperature. The cold makes these tiny blood vessels contract, preventing blood reaching the body part. The fingers or toes then lose their natural color and appear white, turning to bluish and finally red.
This is a reaction of the immune system against the glands of our body that produce saliva and tears. The immune attack of the glands reduces their ability to operate and produce tears and saliva, which causes a chronic dryness of the mouth and the eyes. People who have Sjögren's syndrome often complain of difficulties in swallowing and a dry cough and are more likely to develop mouth infections and dental problems. Eye dryness can cause itching, blurry or distorted vision and increased sensitivity to light.
Also known as Hughes syndrome, this occurs when the immune system manufactures antibodies against proteins in the blood. As a result, blood clots form in the bloodstream. These can cause a large and varied number of problems throughout the body. Hughes syndrome is perhaps most notable for causing a large number of miscarriages and fetal deaths, as the mother's thickened blood cannot pass to the fetus through the placenta. It can normally be treated with blood-thinning medication, such as aspirin.
Common side effects of NSAID treatment for lupus include mainly the risk of stomach inflammation and ulcers. Other side effects include kidney problems, headache, confusion and dizziness.
The common side effects of antimalarial medication for people with lupus mostly include digestive problems and some skin complaints.
A mechanical blood-filtering treatment that mimics the function of your kidneys, which normally work as your body’s natural filtration system to remove the body's waste products from the blood.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used to manage arthritis-related pain and inflammation and other musculoskeletal disorders. NSAIDs include aspirin and ibuprofen.
All cells of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord.
A cancer of the blood-forming cells that commonly leads to an overproduction of abnormal white blood cells.
A condition marked by sudden constriction of the small arteries, often to the fingers and toes, in response to cold temperature or stress. This causes a characteristic change in the skin color, and feelings of cold and/or numbness in the affected areas.
Capable of suppressing the immune system.

I’m going to wrap up my series of discussions of the Mariana character from Measure for Measure with a look at what I find the most fascinating question of all: What is her history with Duke Vincentio and Friar Lodowick (who are, remember, the same guy, our ever-lovin’ fruke)?
When the fruke explains to Isabella how she may save her brother, he outlines to her the history of Mariana: she had been engaged to Angelo, her brother Frederick had died at sea while bringing her dowry home, she was then abandoned by Angelo–who also then also intimated her to be unchaste–and she has been living ever since in isolation in a “moated grange” (III.i.262), where her love has grown “unruly” (III.i.241). That’s quite a bit of history for the duke to know, especially when you consider he’s only been masquerading as the friar for a few days, during which he learns of her past.
A few days? you ask. You betcha, I reply.
Remember that when we first see Claudio, Mistress Overdone claims that he will be executed “within these three days” (I.ii.67); it is during this scene that Claudio asks Lucio to beg Isabella to intervene. In the next scene, the duke asks Friar Thomas for the clothing to pass him off “like a true friar” (I.iii.48). If this is a flashback, it would be the first and only one I’ve seen in all of Shakespeare.
In Mariana’s first speech, she says of the fruke, “Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice // Hath often stilled my brawling discontent” (IV.i.8-9).
How often could it have been in the last day or so? There can be only one answer: he has been there before. But as she knows him only as a friar–addressing him as such (IV.i.53)–and not the duke, then those previous visits must have also been under the guise of a friar. Then why does the duke need to ask Friar Thomas for the habit of a friar? That would then depend on the real reason for the duke’s public masquerade (known to Friar Thomas)–as opposed to his private masquerade (during which he ministered to Mariana). And that reason? “To behold (Angelo’s) sway” (I.iii.43), and to understand “if power change purpose, what our seemers be” (I.iii.54). This final masquerade has one purpose alone: to watch and hold accountable the “precise” (I.iii.50) Angelo.
How much time elapses between the duke handing power to Angelo in Act One, Scene One, and the proclamations that take place in the second scene? Months? Weeks? Days? The answer to this question is not trivial; it ties into how long the duke’s private masquerade has in effect. If it’s months, then maybe he’s been ministering to Mariana this whole time, enough time for him to still her discontent “often” enough to learn her history. If it’s mere days, however, then there wouldn’t be enough time for this knowledge-transfer to take place, which would mean that the duke’s been privately masquerading as a friar since before he handed the governance of the city to Angelo.
And if THAT‘s the case, then the duke knew about Mariana when he made Angelo his deputy, which makes all of this a trap. Has the fruke been waiting for Angelo to do something, anything, like what he’s done to Isabella, just so the fruke can put his Mariana plan into play? Was his stated purpose of leaving Vienna to the rule of Angelo so that his deputy could begin enforcement of the “strict statutes and most biting laws” (I.iii.19) a sham as well?
Is Vincentio a heroic figure, saving Mariana from a future of madness (as depicted in the Tennyson poem) in the “moated grange”?
Is he a playwright putting his characters into place?
Is he a malevolent god-figure?
Or is he the “old fantastical duke of dark corners” (IV.iii.156-7) Lucio supposedly slanders him as?
The answer lies in the enigma that is Mariana.

Chasing a modest 195, Nepal were staring down the barrel at one stage having lost nine wickets for 144 -- but KC Karan and Sandeep Lamichhane batted sensibly to ensure Nepal secured a historic entry into the upcoming Cricket World Cup qualifiers.
Nepal secured a historic entry into the upcoming Cricket World Cup qualifiers with a sensational last-ball one-wicket win over Canada in the ICC World Cricket League Division Two on Wednesday.
Chasing a modest 195, built around Srimantha Wijeratne’s unbeaten 103, Nepal were staring down the barrel at one stage having lost nine wickets for 144.
However, the last-wicket pair of Karan KC (42) and Sandeep Lamichhane (5) added 51 off the final 47 balls to pull off a victory.
Nepal needed eight runs off the last over and Canada medium-pacer Cecil Parvez delivered four dot balls, before Karan smacked a six off the fifth ball.
Parvez then bowled a wide, equalling the scores. With one needed from the final ball, Karan managed a single to seal a memorable win.
Earlier, Wijeratne’s maiden List A hundred helped Canada post a modest 194 for eight as Nepal spinners Basant Regmi (3/34) and Lamichhane (2/40) kept the opposition batsmen under a tight leash.
The win was Nepal’s second last-wicket heist of the tournament, and took them to four wins in five matches on the points table.
The World Cup Qualifiers will be held in Zimbabwe.

Philanthropist David Rubenstein is donating $18 million to refurbish the Lincoln Memorial, the National Park Service announced Monday. The money will go toward a new roof, cleaning of marble surfaces, and a new elevator to improve accessibility at the memorial, which accommodates seven million visitors per year. Rubenstein already has contributed millions to spruce up the Washington Monument and other icons. "Lincoln deserves to have his memorial in tip-top shape," Rubenstein said.
Certain numerology has a strong connection with occultism. Various numbers from time-to-time appear in news articles, and one has to wonder if there isn't some occult significance behind this story.
This blog is not meant to be an exhaustive source, but rather to point out the frequency certain numbers do appear in the news.
Variations of the number 11, will include 22, 33, 44 and so on.
Numbers that add up to 11: 47, 56, 74, 92, etc.
Also look for numbers where the news item appears to be "stretching" or "reaching" for a certain number: 1.1 million rather than saying "over a million", or nearly 33 thousand, instead of more than 30 thousand.
Below is a pdf of various articles explaining the significance of numerology in occultism. It is not meant to be an exhaustive, authoritative source, but rather a simple primer of the subject.

Sultan Minerals Announces Disposition of the Jersey Emerald Property, B.C.
Vancouver, BC - November 11, 2013: Sultan Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: SUL; "Sultan" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement with Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRL; "Margaux") for the disposition of 100% of the Jersey-Emerald Tungsten--Zinc Property ("the Property"), located in southeastern B.C. With the sale of the Property Sultan intends to switch its strategic focus to the exploration and development of its gold projects.
incurring not less than the aggregate sum of $2,000,000 in expenditures on the Property on or before the third anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement.
Margaux will use its best efforts to incur expenditures of $6,000,000 on the Property on or prior to the third anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement.
Sultan will retain a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") on the Property. For a period of 60 days following the earlier of (a) the commencement of commercial production on the Property or (b) the completion of a feasibility study on the Property, Margaux may purchase 50% of the NSR (being a 0.75% net smelter returns royalty) from Sultan for a payment to Sultan of $5.0 million.
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Margaux will assume all existing royalties on the Property.
The Jersey Emerald Property is located in southeastern British Columbia, 10 kilometres southeast of the community of Salmo. The Property consists of mineral claims and crown grants covering approximately 15,000 hectares in the Nelson Mining Division. The Property includes British Columbia's second largest historic lead zinc mine as well as Canada's second largest historic tungsten mine which have been inactive since 1973. The property has a significant remnant resource for tungsten (please see News Release January 21, 2009) and for lead zinc (please see News Release March 1, 2010). In addition, the Property is prospective for additional deposits of tungsten, zinc, lead, gold and silver.
The transaction will benefit Sultan by providing funding for the company with no share dilution and will allow the Company to focus its exploration efforts entirely on its gold properties. Through the retained NSR royalty, Sultan shareholders will still benefit from the development of the Jersey-Emerald Property by Margaux.
The transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange and shareholder approval. The Company has scheduled a special general meeting of its shareholders for December 16, 2013.

Getting its ducks in a row while it still had a quorum, FERC handed down a slew of orders Friday while setting the terms for how the agency will conduct important business after the departure of Commissioner Norman Bay.
With Bay's surprise plans to exit Friday, leaving the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with only two out of five sitting Commissioners, the agency had several high profile natural gas pipeline projects with completed environmental reviews on its desk, ready for a potential order. This prompted backers of those projects to lobby the Commission for a decision by Friday to avoid the uncertainty of waiting on new appointments.
In an order handed down late Thursday, FERC finally gave its blessing to Energy Transfer's Rover Pipeline Project, a decision that had been a long time coming after the Commission issued a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the 3.25 Bcf/d pipeline last summer.
Then, just as the business world prepared to head home for the weekend, FERC handed down an order for Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co.’s Atlantic Sunrise expansion, creating another reason for constrained Appalachian Basin producers to celebrate.
FERC also issued last-minute orders approving Dominion Carolina's Transco to Charleston Project, along with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC's Orion Project.
Other natural gas projects were still hoping for an order as the close of business approached Friday, though the late arrival of the Atlantic Sunrise decision raised the possibility that FERC would be burning the midnight oil to push more business through.
National Fuel Gas Co.'s (NFG) Northern Access Expansion was among those waiting for FERC action Friday. Analysts at ClearView Energy had considered Northern Access far enough along in its review to be ripe for an order before Bay's resignation took effect.
In a 4Q2016 conference call Friday, NFG management seemed puzzled that Rover had received a certificate order while Northern Access had not to that point, saying their project was ahead in the FERC queue.
"I wish we knew, given the fact that once you've filed, you can't have direct or individual conversations with FERC staff," CEO Ronald Tanski said. "We don't have a real good handle on their thought process."
Last month NFG delayed the start-up for the Northern Access project based on the prolonged FERC review process.
The Nexus Gas Transmission LLC pipeline also appeared like it might get left behind Friday. ClearView said an order on the project would have meant a time crunch for the Commission. Nexus received its FEIS in late November.
Those projects not saved by last-minute, after-hours action from FERC Friday will face the prospect of waiting for new Commission appointments before getting their Natural Gas Act certificates. As of right now, there's no definitive timeframe for when FERC will return to full strength, though industry lobbyists have urged the Trump Administration to act quickly.
Meanwhile, preparing for life with two Commissioners, FERC issued an order Friday delegating certain authority to its staff while it lacks a quorum.
FERC staff will be authorized to act on rate filings; grant extensions of time and waiver requests; and approve uncontested settlements. The delegation order does not grant staff the authority to issue orders approving certificate applications for natural gas projects.

I haven’t chosen to include everything I’ve ever read on these topics, just the most recent and relevant books.
by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert is the most recent book I’ve read, and the most important, on relationships. I think that the skills covered are vital for anyone engaging in any type of intimate relationship, be it monogamous or polyamorous. I’m a bit biased regarding this one, as I was a Kickstarter supporter before the book was even released—but I think it has more than lived up to its promise.
Radical Honesty by Brad Blanton is a vital read for anyone interested in developing and maintaining the deepest possible level of intimacy in relationship.
by Tristan Taormino is a great book on open relationships. I found it to be much better than I had expected. The appendices, in particular, are full of valuable information.
by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá is one of the best books I’ve read on the anthropology of relationships.

In English or in French, Gertrude Stein’s native and adopted languages, the word to describe her was the same: formidable. She possessed one of the most creative and influential minds of the 20th century, such that her brilliance mystified and confounded many, including, at times, herself. “It will take her years to understand the things she’s said tonight,” Alice Toklas, never known for cattiness, remarked after one soirée.
Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, in 1874, Gertrude Stein was raised in Oakland, California. She attended Radcliffe College and Johns Hopkins University before moving to Paris in 1903. Her father’s success as a businessman—among other interests, he was a director of San Francisco’s Market Street Railway—gave her the financial independence to make France her home, which she did for the rest of her life. She returned to the United States only once. It was with Toklas in October 1934 for a six-month visit and lecture tour.
Stein and Toklas, a native San Franciscan born in 1877, met in Paris through a mutual friend in the fall of 1907. By the following summer, they were deeply in love, and their lives then entwined in every conceivable way until Stein’s death in 1946. Stein often said that the stability of their home life, fashioned by Toklas, who took on all domestic responsibilities, enabled her to make her far-reaching contributions to the literary arts. They became the most famous openly lesbian couple in the world, and their 38-year relationship was a role model of what was possible for generations of women who love women.
Thoroughly involved with the avant-garde in Paris, Stein became a patron of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and other major artists when they were still unknown. Her intent was to do for language what they did for visual arts, and she brought cubism to writing, deconstructing everyday images and ideas first by separating words from their usual meanings, and then rearranging the traditional elements, forms, and patterns of expression.
Stein simply was one of the most revolutionary experimenters with language of the last 100 years, challenging literary tradition at every turn. Why must stories, she asked, have beginnings, middles, and ends? Why must plays have acts of equal length? Why can autobiography be written only by the person whose life is being told? Why must key words not be repeated in a sentence or a paragraph? Why must they be used only in their usual ways?
Even when she used traditional forms, she broke their rules. Written in 1911, but not published until 1922, “Miss Furr and Miss Skeene” tells a story with a beginning, middle, and end, although it reads unlike any story before it. In barely 2100 words, Stein creates two vivid personalities, describes their world in detail, and unfolds the discovery of their love for one another, while at the same time portraying one of the first lesbian couples in English literature as “regular” and completely normal.
She does this with plain, direct language, using simple words over and over to invent a different way to express thought. The word “gay” appears 136 times, becoming one of the first instances in print where the word “gay” describes a homosexual relationship. Juxtaposing it with other words, she creates its modern meaning and a new understanding of the love of two women for each other.
Stein insisted her work was completely realistic. She once explained, “I used to take objects on a table…and create a word relationship between the word and the things seen.” It was therefore a challenging process to answer her simple, underlying question: How does language actually construct the world we know? Those who found the writings of Edgar Guest demanding did not care for Stein’s, which included novels, plays, poetry, libretti, detective stories, film scripts, magazine articles, and even theoretical text.
A third traditional literary form Stein reinvented was autobiography. Writing the life story of her wife from her point of view and in her voice, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas created another new genre. One of her most accessible works, it became a best seller when it was published in 1933; it is still in print. Only Wars I Have Seen (1945), her memoir of the Second World War, was more widely read during her lifetime, even becoming a selection of the Book-of-the-Month-Club.
Seen as an important thinker almost from the beginning of her long and influential career, Stein continues to be under-read in the fragmented, deconstructed, cubist civilization that she recognized existed years before it did. Whether read or simply read about, however, she remains one of the most original and influential minds of the last 100 years, a formidable figure who helped to shape the spirit and expression of our world of now.

Seagate beats analysts' expectations in its fiscal second quarter but gross margins declined to 29.2% from 30.1% a year earlier.
Seagate Technology PLC (STX - Get Report) fell 0.9% to close at $45.14 % in Tuesday's trading after the company beat on earnings and revenue but said it sees a more difficult geopolitical environment ahead.
The data storage multinational reported fiscal second-quarter net income of $384 million, or $1.34 per share, compared with $159 million, or 55 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.41. Analysts were looking for earnings of $1.27 a share.
Second-quarter revenue fell 6.5% from the year-ago quarter to $2.72 billion. Analysts were expecting revenue of $2.71 billion according FactSet. Gross margins declined to 29.2% in the current quarter from 30.1% in the same period the prior year.
Seagate CEO Dave Mosley said in a statement that geopolitical conditions for operations have gotten more difficult.
"In the December quarter, we executed well against a more challenging demand environment and delivered solid financial results reflecting strong operational efficiency," said Mosley. "While there are market and geopolitical uncertainties impacting the storage industry, our belief in the long-term growth of data creation and storage demand remains unchanged."
The current consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming quarter is $1.04 a share on revenue $2.43 billion, and earnings of $5.07 a share on revenue of $10.77 billion for fiscal 2019, according to Zacks Investment Research.
Over the last year, Seagate Technology beat EPS consensus estimates four times. Since the start of 2019, Seagate shares rose more than 17% vs. the S&P 500's gain of 8%.

Hurricane damage to the V.I.’s aging correctional facilities has hastened their ongoing deterioration and put them in “the worst shape they’ve ever been in,” Bureau of Corrections Director Rick Mullgrav told senators Tuesday.
Corrections was one of five entities testifying Tuesday at a budget hearing held by the Committee on Finance. The governor’s recommended FY 2019 budget for Corrections is approximately $35 million, a decrease of $971,000, or 2.7 percent, from the previous year. Mullgrav said Tuesday many problems in the territory’s corrections system will remain until facilities are completely overhauled or rebuilt.
The Golden Grove Adult Correctional Facility on St. Croix and the Alexander A. Farrelly Criminal Justice Complex on St. Thomas need daily repairs that are sometimes outside the scope of what BOC staff can accomplish, he said. Problems mentioned by Mullgrav include chronically leaking roofs and ceilings that are crumbling so badly that metal and wood chips fall into inmates’ food.
The Alva A. Swan Correctional Annex on St. Thomas is completely out of commission since 2017’s hurricanes, its 78 prisoners absorbed by the other facilities before the storms.
Mullgrav urged senators to consider the long-term savings he said would come from building completely new prisons in each district, even if the funding can only be found to replace one at a time.
“Be reminded until then, we will continue to be plagued by an aged facility that results in more manpower and higher maintenance costs,” Mullgrav said.
Cost estimates provided by BOC testimony put the cost of replacing both districts’ facilities at up to $150 million, between $30 and $50 million on St. Thomas and between $70 and $100 million on St. Croix. Assessments that will determine how much Corrections will get for hurricane repairs through FEMA have not yet been completed. So far, the bureau has received less than half a million dollars.
Deteriorating facilities are not the only challenges faced by Corrections. The bureau consistently struggles to fill its staff and sometimes has to go looking outside its budget appropriations to fund maintenance and improvements required by the two federal consent decrees it has been under for decades.
Most recently, appeals to the Public Finance Authority have helped with the installation of a cooling system at Golden Grove; the establishment of new training and office space at Roebuck Industrial Park, which was heavily damaged in the hurricanes; and the acquisition of funding for an emergency generator and perimeter fencing on St. Croix and a security surveillance system on St. Thomas.
BOC has 278 funded positions in its budget, of which 206 are filled. Of the 71 vacancies, 51 are for correctional officers. Mullgrav said numerous issues prevent the bureau from operating at a full staff of corrections officers.
“Corrections officer is not as attractive as other law enforcement positions,” he said. He added that a planned increase in the position’s starting salary, to around $40,000 per year, may help attract more candidates who are qualified and will stay with the bureau rather than leaving for higher paying law enforcement jobs.
When Sen. Novelle Francis Jr. asked what morale is like at BOC, Mullgrav said it is pretty low.
The prisoner population in the V.I. has decreased in recent years due to inmates being moved to mainland facilities. This has been done to both cut the bureau’s costs and clear out the facilities to improve conditions, as mandated by the consent decrees. There are 184 prisoners in BOC’s facilities, Mullgrav said, 28 inmates and 56 detainees on St. Thomas, and 40 inmates and 88 detainees on St. Croix.
The cost to house a prisoner in the territory as of 2017 was approximately $240 per day. Cost to house prisoners on the mainland was $85 per day. If the prisoner needs access to mental health services, the costs can double.
The difference in cost between the territory and the mainland is due not just to the higher cost of living in the V.I. said Mullgrav, but also outdated and poorly designed facilities that need extra manpower and maintenance to run.
Although the BOC has made progress in recent years towards complying with its consent decrees, there are many things the bureau does not have the resources to provide, such as access to comprehensive mental health services.
When Sen. Jean Forde asked about the status of rehabilitation services and resources such as classes, training, and libraries, at the V.I.’s corrections facilities, Mullgrav said resources, and even physical space, remain a problem.
No votes were taken at Tuesday’s information gathering session. Present were Sens. Francis, Forde, Kurt Vialet, Marvin Blyden, Brian Smith and Neville James.
