In 2015, my caller ID showed this. There was also an email.

Working with future Olympians, plus current and past medalists and coaches, that October was sublime.

Chemistry

Compounds responsible for yellow and orange-red hues in leaves, are overwhelmed by green chlorophyll during the summer. 

As chlorophyll production ceases, yellow and orange flavonoids and carotenoids are visible. 

Deeper reds, purples, and magentas are caused by anthocyanin, not present throughout the year. Its production is triggered only during autumn.

StoneLion Puppet Theatre

From side stage, I watched the faces of dozens of young children enthralled with a Halloween-inspired performance by StoneLion Puppet Theatre.

The attention span of this audience would be calculated at approximately 10 minutes, so it was remarkable they were captivated for the entire show.

Amanda Knox Returns to Italian Court

#WomenYouShouldKnow 

Amanda Knox is in the courtroom again in Italy, however this time it's good.

Between 2007 and 2015, Amanda spent four years in prison, and eight years on trial for a murder she did not commit.

In 2015, in an unprecedented decision, the Court of Cassation acquitted her of murder. The court cited stunning errors in the prosecution's case and culpable omissions. However, they upheld the conviction for slander.

In 2019, the European Court of Human Rights vindicated her, and ruled her rights to an attorney and interpreter were violated during her interrogation.

Now, sixteen years later, in Italy, Amanda has the opportunity to seek full acquittal from the wrongful accusation of slander.
