"Last week at AC 2nd, our department blog, I posted a four-part photo essay about our January travel course on the history of World War I. For those who may not want to see quite that many photos but are interested in our trip…\n\nMy attempt to sum up our twenty-one days in only eleven photos:",
null,
"Our course began with a walking tour of central London, focused on the theme of war remembrance. There are no names inscribed on Britain’s chief war memorial, the Cenotaph. Thinking of this while young members of the Army Cadet Force gathered nearby made me consider how this “empty tomb” has room for the dead of the past, unknown but “glorious,” and the dead to come, not yet known.",
null,
"Even if focused on studying a brief period in the modern age, any traveler to Europe will soon feel like an archeologist, peeling back layers of time. As we realized on a day trip to Bath, where the Roman ruins stand in the shadow of a late medieval cathedral. (And our afternoon ended at a Jane Austen tea house.)",
null,
"I’m only one of the professors on this trip. Here Sir Elton John and David Bowie (who declined a knighthood) listen in as my friend and colleague Sam Mulberry teaches “The Waste Land” by T. S. Eliot (a mere O.M.) in the tiny kitchen of our small London hostel. (“I had not thought death had undone so many…”)",
null,
"There are so many commemorative sites from the former Western Front to choose from… (See my rarely-updated but hopefully interesting war commemoration photoblog.) But the one that was most often mentioned by our students in their final papers was the Canadian memorial at St. Julien, outside Ypres. It captures a “Brooding Soldier,” lost in contemplation after having buried one of his comrades.",
null,
"New since our 2013 trip was the enormous Ring of Remembrance built near the French military cemetery of Notre Dame de Lorette and dedicated last Remembrance Day. Costing eight million euros, its 500 sheets name almost 580,000 men who died in northern France during the war. “The ring is synonymous with unity and eternity,” explains architect Philippe Prost. “Unity, because the names form a sort of human chain, and eternity because the letters are joined without an end, in alphabetical order without any distinction of nationality, rank or religion.” There aren’t many Gehrzes in the world — but apparently one fell on the Western Front sometime between 1914-1918.",
null,
"I had worried that this trip would feel too much like the first one. But not only had new memorials like the one above sprung up since 2013, but I was better prepared to find some relatively obscure sites that I missed the first time. So not only did we visit the Armenian cathedral where refugees from the first genocide of the 20th century streamed after 1915, but we paused at this memorial by the Pont des Invalides: in honor of the priest who helped preserve Armenian culture in the middle of a human catastrophe that claimed perhaps as many as 1.5 million lives.",
null,
"However, what truly made this a different — and better — trip is that my wife was able to take three weeks off from work and join us!",
null,
"It’s not the most striking memorial we saw, but this plaque at the train station in Chartres (whose famous cathedral drew some of us for our day off in Paris) sums up one theme of the course: there’s WWI commemoration everywhere in Europe.",
null,
"But some commemoration was harder to find — and interpret — than others. “Munich seems bent on forgetting,” wrote one student in her final paper. Lowered into a sunken garden in front of the Bavarian state government, the city’s one significant WWI memorial is as easy to miss as it is hard to read. Is “they will rise again” a religious hope, or a political one?",
null,
"And by stark contrast to England, the WWI section at Munich’s largest bookseller was insignificant: just a couple of shelves, with almost as many English authors as German ones.",
null,
"Our course didn’t end with the Armistice of 1918 or the peace treaty of 1919… One reason for continuing on to Bavaria was that we could explore how the war set off fuses that exploded in National Socialism, World War II, and the Holocaust. I could show several images from our Nazi walking tour or our visit to Dachau, but I’ll close with the last exhibit in Nuremberg’s Nazi Documentation Center, ingeniously constructed out of the ruins of the Party Rally Grounds. Confessing the participation of Germany’s railroads in the Final Solution, its railbed is covered with the names of victims: one per 100 murdered. If they actually named everyone murdered in the Holocaust, the track would need to extend 4 km — all the way back into the center of Nuremberg.\n\nOne thought on “Our WWI Travel Course in Eleven Photos”"

"What’s My Take On This?\n\n1) Fabio: Fabio won the Immunity Challenge for the second time. This was a special victory for him for two reasons. He did not only saved himself from the boot but he also forced the four-person-alliance (Chase, Sash, Holly & Jane) to eat one of their own. However, it’s still hard to deny the truth. I want Fabio to win. He’s clearly a big favorite but his fate to win this season remains uncertain, especially if he will not win the last two challenges. Unless, of course, if he has the competitive edge like what JT did in Tocantins, everything will be in order.\n\n2) Chase: Chase was playing an ugly game since the merge. It was not strategic at all, it’s purely ugly. Chase even deserves to be called as this season’s “wishy-washy backstabber” and the situation got three-times worse by voting against Brenda, Benry and Jane. You might also want to consider him lucky to some extent. This ugly style of playing has helped him get into the Final Five without any vote cast against him since the premiere. Perhaps, the situation can go in two different ways. Chase either make the finals and be like Stephen & Mick (Season 18 & 19) or he makes to the finals, the jury will buy his excuses and win the title. What do you think?\n\n3) Holly: Holly’s boldest move in the game was getting rid of Brenda in Episode 10. From that moment on, she continued to move forward. Although there’s a little warning on the wall that Fabio, Dan and Jane could openly voted her out, Holly still secured a spot in the Final Five. Her alliance with Chase and Sash looks solid but these two guys can instantly break it. Should she make a good run in the finals, but that’s a difficult road to take, she can win.\n\n4) Sash: The one good thing about Sash is his ability to get the numbers on his side ASAP. He might have chose the wrong alliance by voting out Benry but it’s one big step closer to million dollars by getting rid of Jane. Sash is a good negotiator, he’s going in the right direction and should he be in the finals, expect him to put the jury under his spell. His only biggest downfall is – if he remains overconfident and does not try to win immunity.\n\n5) Dan: Based on the editing, Dan did not do anything strategic. He’s clearly the weakest in the group and no one has attempted to vote him out since the merge. Chase wanted to vote Dan out when Fabio won the immunity but Dan got 100% lucky once again the moment Fabio disagreed with the plan.\n\nEpisode Rating: Jane was the reason why this episode became a nutcracker. It’s a scene not to forget when she grabbed the bucket of water to put out the fire before the Tribal Council. 9 of 10 stars",

"“From the Grab Bag” is written by various members of the DivX team and highlights under-the-radar movies that are available in DivX format.\nFor a few weeks, friends across the country were living in what had been dubbed: “The Snowpocalypse”. I was seeing daily pictures on Facebook of icicles, blizzards and waist deep snow. Not surprisingly, this “Snowpocalypse” never came to sunny San Diego. Last weekend however, was a different story. It rained for almost an ENTIRE DAY. We even had tiny hail for a minute or two. There was confusion, anger and mass panic. San Diego residents took to Facebook to whine about report the bad weather. As for myself, I took it as an opportunity to stay in with my wife and watch a movie. (SHAMELESS/AWESOME PLUG AHEAD) The convenience of buying the movie online in DivX format meant I could stay inside and, more importantly, stay nice and dry.\nI was browsing the DivX video-on-demand catalog and came across the documentary “Freakonomics“. Several friends have raved about the book, but I had never personally taken the time to read it. The documentary described itself as follows:\n“This film examines human behavior with provocative and sometimes hilarious case studies, bringing together a dream team of filmmakers responsible for some of the most acclaimed and entertaining documentaries in recent years.”\nThe movie was intellectual candy. It was chocked full of statistics, data and insightful correlations. What was perhaps most interesting to me was the method in which the movie was put together. It was split in to four sections, and each had a different writer and director. For example, one segment titled “A Roshanda by Any Other Name” was directed by Morgan Spurlock (“Supersize Me”, “30 Days”), while another titled “Pure Corruption” was directed by Alex Gibney (“Casino Jack“). The other two directors included Heidi Ewing (“Jesus Camp“) and Eugene Jarecki (“Why We Fight“).\nWhile this format kept things interesting, it also created disconnects between segments (the entire movie was only an hour and a half). One minute you would be enjoying Spurlock’s faster paced editing and the next you would be listening to the slower more methodical storytelling of Alex Gibney.\nBottom line: I would recommend this documentary. Though the film was fragmented at times, the last few minutes brought it together with a very compelling message: You are always free to look at life differently than the masses. Just because something is widely accepted doesn’t mean it is correct. Oh, and it’s probably not ideal to name your daughter “Temptress”.\nPurchase “Freakonomics” on FilmFresh"

"The House of Representatives Wednesday passed legislation to form an independent 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and to make recommendations on preventing another domestic attack.\n\nDespite opposition from GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., the Jan. 6 commission bill garnered bipartisan support. The vote was 252 to 175.\n\nAmong the vocal GOP supporters was Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., who called out his colleagues who have tried to “whitewash and rewrite the shameful events” of Jan. 6 and argued a fact-based investigation is needed to heal the nation.\n\n“If we avoid confronting what happened here just a few short months ago, we can be sure that intimidation, coercion, and violence will become a defining feature of our politics for generations to come,” Meijer said in a floor speech backing the commission.\n\nTrump supporters try to break through a police barrier, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol in Washington. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)\n\nThe legislation now heads to the 50-50 split Senate, where it would need 60 votes to advance. But garnering the support of 10 Republicans may be a challenge after Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, announced Wednesday he’ll oppose the “slanted and unbalanced” independent commission. Former President Donald Trump opposes the legislation too.\n\nThe bipartisan agreement met one major Republican demand by including an equal number of members from each party, and it requires majority approval to issue subpoenas. But it did not meet another condition that McCarthy and some other Republicans wanted: to investigate other political violence, such as Antifa riots, in addition to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.\n\n“There has not been an investigation to stop the BLM/Antifa riots that have hurt innocent people,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in calling out unrest in Minneapolis, Portland and other cities.\n\nGreene said the commission will just be used as a political tool against Republicans.",
null,
"“The media is going to use this to smear Trump supporters and President Trump for the next few years and cover up the real damage that’s happening to the people of this country,” Greene argued.\n\nBut Katko said what started as a Democratic proposal turned into a “reasonable, nonpartisan bill” that will find out the facts. He urged his colleagues to “put down their swords for once, just for once” and support the “fair and necessary legislation.”",
null,
"On Jan. 6, a group of Trump supporters seeking to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory stormed the Capitol, destroyed property and forced lawmakers to take shelter. Some called for the hanging of then-Vice President Mike Pence and stalked the halls looking for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.\n\nAbout 140 police officers were injured in the riot and five people died, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who suffered a stroke after defending the Capitol.\n\nFederal law enforcement officials have made more than 400 arrests of individuals involved in the siege.\n\nRep. Fred Upton, who backed the commission, said had it not been for the brave police officers defending the Capitol that day, members of Congress could have lost their lives.\n\nIf not for the police, “who knows how many of our heads would have been swinging on those gallows that were constructed on the East Front of the Capitol?” Upton, R-Mich., said.\n\n“We need the answers, not political rhetoric,” Upton added. “That’s what this bipartisan commission can provide for all of us. For our country, let the truth shine in.”"

"\nHey gang, Valkor here. I don't watch as much television as I used to, but when I do I have my select shows that I enjoy. Oddly enough, I get a kick out of a show that I discovered completely by accident - I'm talkin about Storage Wars, currently airing on the A&E channel. I actually discovered the show while visiting Portland, Oregon last year; and as I was flipping through the channels, I found the show, skipped past it, found nothing else to watch, flipped back to the show and I was stuck there for the rest of the night as the show was airing one of its marathons. In short: I was hooked! It's addicting to watch the bantering, the fight to win the prize of a coveted unit, watching as the winners celebrate their valuable finds or wallow in defeat.",
null,
"To get an idea of what the show is about, here is an excerpt taken from the Wikipedia page - When rent is not paid on a storage locker for three months in California, the contents can be sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items. The show follows professional buyers who purchase the contents based only on a five-minute inspection of what they can see from the door when it is opened. The goal is to turn a profit on the merchandise.\n\nStorage Wars is currently in its 4th season and it has been expanded into three spin offs - Storage Wars: Texas, Storage Wars New York, and there's a new show in the works called Storage Wars: Canada. What does all of this have to do with PerfectView? I'll admit it, I don't simply watch the show because it's entertaining (and it is), but there's also a fair amount of eye candy about. And that, my friends, is what brings us here today. So let's check out a bevy of bodacious babes from the hit show Storage Wars, and Storage Wars: Texas shall we?\n\nNabila Haniss - Nabila is like a tiger baby, silent but deadly. She seems pretty reserved, but you can tell she has a lot of fight in her. She's not a show regular, but when she shows up you know it's on! Nabila is also famous for purchasing a Paris Hilton unit and while I'm not a fan… of Hilton, I'm kinda curious what was inside that unit... Regardless, Storage Wars needs more Nabila! More I say!\n\nBrandi Passante (The Young Gun) - I think Brandi is the cutest one on the show; she kinda looks like Jennifer Aniston, maybe less bubbly but I wouldn't throw her out for eating crackers in bed. Sure she has that innocent \"girl next door\" look about her, but I wouldn't wanna fuck with her any day of the week because I've seen her take it out on her husband Jarrod. And yet would I trade places with him knowing full well what I would be getting into what I'd be getting into? Yes... yes I would!\n\nMary Padian (The Junkster) - In the beginning of Storage Wars: Texas, Mary made a few cameo appearances, only used when bidder Moe would need to touch somethin up all artsy like. And believe me, she's got the skills and her works in turning trash into treasure is simply breathtaking. Yea, I like Mary, I love her raspy voice, I think she's adorable, she's especially cute when she ends words with \"-age\" (biddage!!) and I'm diggin the fact that she's become a regular on the show. She's definitely a keeper no matter how you slice it!",
null,
"Jenny Grumbles (The Dazzler) - Jenny kicked off season two Storage Wars: Texas and when I first laid eyes on her... I thought it was a joke - in my eyes, she's just too pretty, too perky to be involved with this type of work; not that most of the women in the series aren't lookers (hence this piece), but I just think she's just... so much eye-candy. Jenny has brains as well beauty and how she tackles furniture and redesigns it up for resale are quite a sight.",
null,
"Laura Dotson - If I were to pick a winner in the Storage Wars: PerfectView, and I'm not sayin I am, but if I were then we need not look any further because ding! ding! ding! We've got ourselves a winner with Auctioneer Laura Dotson; she is packed, stacked, and all that! Plus she's got an adorable laugh that's so pleasing to the ears. Dan Dotson... you're a lucky mofo. But don't ever let her go because if you do, I'll be there to score her on the rebound. Giggity! OK maybe not… but I a brotha can dream… (Sorry I couldn't find a good solo of Laura, but I love this shot nonetheless).",
null,
"Sorry there's no one here from Storage Wars: New York; I honestly haven't watched the show yet but I'll do my best to check it out. So until then, Storage Wars and Storage Wars: Texas are definitely worth checking out (check your local listings)."

"\"Taking Nobel is good but, the road and discoveries to there were better than that.\" Aziz Sancar Aziz Sancar's life, that began in Mardin, rural part of Turkey, and continued in İstanbul Medicine Faculty and later United States, to Nobel Chemistry Prize in 2015, is inspiring. His life story shows us what hardworking people can do when they are given good education and necessary chances. Three very important stories that especially interested me in his life were: - When Aziz Sancar came to the US in 1971 to John Hopkins University, only foreign language he could speak was French, that he had learnt in high school. He solved his language problem in one year, besides his heavy academic studies. To overcome that, he was working 7 days a week, 18 hours a day. On the other hand, related to this very challenging studies, he had no time for socialization. As a result in 1972, he returned to Turkey, to take depression therapy. After, one year when he got better, he retu\nYorum Gönder\nDevamı\nDiğer yayınlar"

"PHOENIX – Arizona’s dirt track racing scene has a legacy seven decades old. The first large race in the state was held in 1951, when Manzanita Park featured an event on a quarter-mile track. More than 3,900 fans watched Roe Mounts wheel his 1933 Ford coupe to victory.\n\nThis rich history is at the risk of making a dangerously long pit stop as dirt tracks that were once popular family gatherings as well as stepping stones to NASCAR success are struggling to survive.\n\n“You drive by 35th Avenue and Broadway and see a parking lot and not somewhere where you spent your childhood,” Hobby Stock driver Steve Bitting said about Manzanita closing in 2009. “Some of those people only went to that racetrack, so you lose friends some friends and family members.”\n\nAlthough it found its way to the Valley in the 1950s, the sport became popular three decades earlier when it became evident horse tracks could easily convert to auto racing. The surface is made of dirt or clay and often less than a mile long. Trucks to grade and smooth the track and water to create the right surface consistency are part of the prerace process.\n\nIn 1954, Manzanita Park added a half-mile track and opened the competition with a 25-hour marathon race. In 1965, the track changed its name to Manzanita Speedway.",
null,
"When Manzanita Speedway’s reputation blossomed, others saw a potential gold mine, building dirt tracks throughout the state. Once the tracks were finished, drivers across the country descended on the desert, hoping to prove they were the next dirt racing superstar.\n\nAs a kid, Bitting dreamed of becoming one of those drivers. He has been around the dirt track scene since he was a child and has seen some of the best NASCAR drivers live out their dreams.\n\n“It’s weird because I watched Zach Madrid and Ricky Thornton Jr. grow up,” Bitting said. “I was racing when they were just little kids running around and playing with Matchbox cars in the dirt, and now they are some of the best in the country.”\n\nWhen dirt track racing blew up in Arizona, the sport became more than a hobby. For some, it proved to be an affordable starting point for the journey to NASCAR.\n\n“A lot of young drivers get into this with less out-of-pocket cash, so they use it as a stepping stone,” Canyon Speedway promoter Dave Craft said. “Tony Stewart and many others have come from the dirt scene.”\n\nAlex Bowman is one of the few Arizona racers who started at local dirt tracks before jumping into NASCAR.\n\nYet, some local dirt track racers see the sport as more than a hobby for other reasons.\n\n“It really kept me out of trouble,” Sport Mod driver Bryan Miller said. “I never got into drugs or any of that and dirt racing had a lot to do with that. It also drives me to do better because out on the track it is just you.”",

"After a long day of work, drivers arrive at the dirt track to work on their cars and race. (Photo by Jack Johnson/Cronkite News)\n\nBesides keeping racers on the straight-and-narrow, dirt track racing helped to build and bond families. When Craft was 20, he moved from the Midwest to Arizona to follow his racing dreams. Although his wife, Penny, never saw racing as a child, everything changed when she watched Craft at the track when they were in high school.\n\nAt that moment, the sweethearts began to intertwine their lives around the track. These days, Craft and his wife run a few tracks in the Midwest, as well as Canyon Speedway in Peoria. Although Penny never raced, she runs the media relations and social platforms at Canyon Speedway while Craft manages the track.\n\n“It’s great to work with Penny but it’s a lot of stress,” Craft said. “She does a great job of handling all of my emotions.”\n\nFor other Arizona racers, their families were united on the dirt tracks in a variety of ways. After watching his uncle race on the East Coast, Bitting realized his lifestyle involved dirt tracks.\n\n“It’s the only thing my kids and I have known,” he said. “Once I got old enough, I began racing back East. My kids have been at the track ever since they were infants.”\n\nWhen Bitting leaves his daily job or the track, his racing life does not end. Instead, he puts in the extra work to perfect his craft.\n\n“Once you are done at the race track, that is where the fun is,” Bitting said. “Work starts at home with racing. You are working on that car for three-to-four hours at night after an eight-hour shift at work.”\n\nOn the other hand, Miller’s family has been on the dirt since it first made its way in the desert.\n\n“I have been around it since I was 2 years old because I’m a third-generation racer,” Miller said. “Once in a while, my grandpa and dad come to the race track.”\n\nThe track even helped Miller extend his family. Guy Norton, a local dirt track driver, was once Miller’s rival. After years of competition, Miller married Norton’s sister, bonding the two racers for life.\n\n“It’s a really cool experience having your family there, even if you are competing against them,” Miller said. “To see the expressions of your family when you win or your family member wins, it’s an adrenaline rush that is hard to get rid of. Racing to me is like a drug, it is hard to give it up.”\n\nAt Canyon Speedway, the Crafts look to lure families from throughout the state through innovative, inclusive ways.\n\n“We do the junior co-pilot program where kids get to take pictures with the drivers,” Craft said. “We also open our pits up after the races to the fans to come down and meet the drivers. It’s a fun family activity that is an alternative to some of the big leagues like the NFL and NBA where you can’t get close and personal with the athletes.”\n\nDirt track racing provided a childhood home, a unique lifestyle and a family member for several Arizona racers. However, dirt track racing in Arizona has taken huge hits throughout the state.",

"Until the 2000s, Manzanita Speedway was considered one of the top dirt tracks in the country. The track first boomed after World War II, when the automobile industry was at an all-time high. The track has hosted the 1992 Slick 50 Sprint Car World Series, NASCAR Winston West Series races and other national races.\n\nHowever, Manzanita Speedway shocked the dirt track community, closing after its final race on April 11, 2009. Located in a growing neighborhood in suburban southwest Phoenix, the track due to poor attendance and dust and noise complaints.\n\nWhen a restaurant or business shutters, it tends to affect the few who worked at that location. When Manzanita closed, many dirt track racers struggled to cope. For Miller, he felt like he lost more than a track that day.\n\nFor Bitting and others, Manzanita’s closure became an inconvenience,\n\n“It was scary for all of us because we are down to two or three tracks that can run and we have to travel a few hours to get to some of them,” Bitting said.\n\nShortly after closing, Manzanita Speedway was sold to Southwest Rigging and converted to a parking lot and equipment storage spot. When the track closed, Arizona dirt track racers began to flock to Arizona Speedway. For over a decade, racers settled at the new track, not expecting it to disappear. However, Arizona Speedway began its downfall nearly 12 years after Manzanita closed.\n\nSimilar to Manzanita, Arizona Speedway was doomed by dust and noise complaints, and saw its last race on April 4, 2021. When the track closed, the dirt track atmosphere struggled once again.\n\n“Arizona Speedway is one of the best-ran tracks I’ve been to, but it’s very sad to see it go because that track could have gone places if the county gave them time,” Bitting said.\n\nAfter losing some of the best dirt tracks in the desert, dirt track fanatics saw parts of their lives disappear.\n\n“You lose a little bit of your lifestyle because the younger generation are going to think everyone starts at the NASCAR or iRacing level,” he said. “It doesn’t start there, It usually starts at Go-Karts or dirt tracks. New drivers will now be recruited off their talent based on video games or some other venue.”",

"The surface of dirt tracks is made of dirt or clay, and the tracks are often less than a mile long. Trucks to grade and smooth the track and water to create the right surface consistency are part of the prerace process. (Photo courtesy of Canyon Speedway)\n\nWith few dirt tracks left in the desert, Arizona racers are hanging by a thread. Although their childhoods memories have faded, they are grateful for what the dirt tracks meant in their lives. On the positive side, the long-gone tracks helped Craft and his family learn how to become responsible individuals, he said.\n\n“The dirt tracks made me learn a lot through multiple industries,” Craft said. “It has not only allowed me to learn things about myself, but it has made my boys self-sufficient as they have grown up.”\n\nOn the other hand, dirt tracks kept Miller on the right side of life.\n\n“If I did not have dirt track racing to go to, I wouldn’t know what to do,” Miller said. “Dirt track racing helps keep people out of trouble. It keeps your mind moving forward to next week or next month, it leads to goals.”\n\nPromoters and racers must adapt to the future of racing. Since dirt tracks are falling off, the grassroots level looks for the next stepping stone for future racers.\n\n“It’s kind of natural evolution,” Craft said. “What we are seeing is people are supplementing it with other things. They supplement it with side-by-side riders, rock crawlers, or offroad, and four-wheel drive. They are putting their time into something that is fun to them and go blow off steam. I see people supplementing their time with those and water sports in the future.”\n\nAs tracks begin to close locally and nationally, hopes of dirt tracks surviving are dwindling. Craft said he is confident Canyon Speedway will remain open for the foreseeable future, but as the Valley continues to expand, he can see his track fall like the other major tracks in the desert.\n\n“I do not see it closing in the immediate future because of the logistics of where it is at,” Craft said. “If you are asking me the question in 10 to 20 years, maybe. There can be noise restrictions but I would like to think that it will stay open.”\n\nBitting believes the fall of Manzanita and Arizona Speedway was just the beginning of the end.\n\n“It’s all about money these days compared to just looking for talented drivers,” Bitting said. “Unless you bring money to the table, I don’t think anyone will make it to the top level anymore.”",

"UPDATE: This story was updated on March 16 after officials announced that all aboard the helicopter were killed.\n\nIt was not immediately clear on Friday which military branches the troops onboard were from. The names of the troops killed have not been released pending next of kin notification, according to the task force in charge of U.S. military operations in Iraq and Syria.\n\n“All personnel aboard were killed in the crash,” said Brig. Gen. Jonathan P. Braga, director of operations, Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve. “This tragedy reminds us of the risks our men and women face every day in service of our nations. We are thinking of the loved ones of these service members today.”\n\nThere were no indications that the helicopter was downed by enemy fire, the task force said in a Friday news release. A quick reaction force of Iraqi and coalition troops secured the crash site.\n\nA non-profit charity for the families of rescue airmen who are killed and wounded is standing by to provide help to the families of the fallen troops, said Carmina Aguirre, director of operations for That Others May Live Foundation, which offers scholarships to the children of fallen rescue airmen.\n\nThe crash happened a day after a Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet went down off Florida, killing two aviators. The Defense Department has not yet released the names of those killed."

"Cognitive psychology is a form of psychological study which focuses on mental processes. Within this, there are patterns of behaviour called cognitive biases. These biases negatively affect the way in which an individual acts, often leading to the creation of a more “socially acceptable” version of themselves.\n\nWhen running testing with users, these cognitive biases can affect the way testers act and respond to tasks, which can affect both the data produced and any research results. This isn’t good!\n\nTo combat this, I’ve put together a list of the five most common cognitive biases that affect user testing and some simple suggestions of how to overcome them:\n\nThe framing effect can be an easy mistake to make when conducting user testing, as it concerns the way we phrase questions. People do not like making decisions independently; subsequently, they take cues from the environment to make a judgement on how they should act and respond.",
null,
"Researchers should avoid introducing bias via the wording of their questions.\n\nTo demonstrate, we may ask a tester: “What are the positives of this product?”. Asking in this manner leads the individual to only discuss only the favourable aspects of the product. Additionally, this can also cause a knock-on effect, with the respondent more likely to only discuss things in a more positive light for the remainder of your interaction.\n\nA more appropriate question would be: “How do you feel about this product?”. The nature of this question enables the individual to be much more open with their feedback, and empowers an increased likelihood of yielding unbiased results.\n\nThis bias is a fault of the researcher. Naturally, humans are likely only to use information that supports their viewpoint.\n\nConfirmation bias can be introduced when we’re designing tests. Researchers may include leading questions (cough *framing effect* cough) in their procedure, or could even neglect to scrutinise information that goes against their hypothesis.\n\nTo avoid this, researchers must remember that their overarching aim is to learn from users. Whether results validate the researcher's initial point of view is irrelevant. Unbiased data does not lie, and researchers often find they learn more from what they hadn't thought about than what they had.\n\nTypically everyone wants to fit in with others, to make friends and create bonds with other people. However, this can cause issues in user testing, introducing the potential of research participants providing answers that are more acceptable to other testers. This prevents researchers from hearing the actual views of all taking part.\n\nBeing honest is being the hedgehog.\n\nSocial desirability bias is often prevalent in focus groups. If a question is asked which could lead to controversial opinions being aired, some participants may not wish to disclose their true feelings, and instead go with the general feeling of the group. Ultimately, this prevents the researcher from obtaining a true data set.\n\nTo overcome this, some choose only to conduct 1-to-1 interviews. However, focus groups can still be used provided that researchers reassure participants before commencing a session. They should also clearly state that there are no right or wrong answers, encouraging as many diverse opinions as possible.\n\nThis error relates to the tendency of individuals to focus on personal characteristics when something goes wrong. We have a habit of attributing blame to someone else's behaviour instead of analysing the whole situation and correctly assigning the problem.",
null,
"It's important to pay attention to how users are interacting with the product.\n\nIn testing, we see this when a user tells a researcher that they made a mistake while working through the research procedure. This may then be recorded as user mistake as opposed to an issue with the tech, as it is a common misconception that issues are human error as opposed to a design problem.\n\nTo compensate for this type of cognitive bias, researchers should be vigilant to what the user is doing and provide the participant with continued reassurance. The blame of human misuse is all too common, while reports of ill-fitting design remain low. Accordingly, it is essential that the user understands they're not doing anything wrong by pointing out any issues they are having, or flaws in the design.\n\nA final frequent cognitive bias is another that the researcher is guilty of. The clustering illusion works for the human desire to organise and group things. The bias occurs when researchers identify a pattern in the data, ignoring everything else that the data set shows.\n\nThis can be demonstrated in user research collection when the researcher assumes that, because 5 people have liked a feature, everyone will have liked it. In a sample of five this would be the case. However, from a sample of 30, the same conclusions cannot be drawn.\n\nTo avoid this bias, the researcher should ensure that they consider all evidence equally and think about the why. Are the results a factor of the sample size, demographics, questions, or any other variable? Researchers can also tackle this bias by working collaboratively when analysing data. When working as a pair, these simple groupings become less noticeable.\n\nUser Research might provide the platform for success, but the hard work doesn't stop on launch. Learn more about the product life cycle and monetisation."

"EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Tom Brady passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns and Victor Green returned an interception 90 yards for a score Sunday to lead the New England Patriots to a 44-7 whipping of the New York Jets.\n\nThe defensive schemes of New England Coach Bill Belichick shut down the Jets, who had 32 yards rushing and 189 passing. New York punter Matt Turk was New York's leading rusher, picking up 14 yards on a fake.\n\nNew York's Curtis Martin attempted to play with a sprained left ankle, but carried the ball just four times for five yards against his former team.\n\n\"Whether I touch the ball once, or 1,000 times, we should not have played the way we did today,\" said Martin, who had 833 rushing yards in his previous eight games against the Patriots. \"New England came in and showed why they're the champs today. But we're a whole lot better than we played today.\"\n\n\"I was disguising it. When I came down, I didn't even look to my side and I knew I had him,\" Jones said. \"I'm faster than him (Testaverde). I didn't know where it (the ball) was at first, then I saw it and just ran.\"\n\nGreen, who refused to take a paycut and was waived by the Jets in the offseason, exacted some revenge when he cut in front of running back Richie Anderson at the New England 10, picked off a pass by Testaverde and raced down the right sideline for his touchdown with 2:44 left in the third quarter, opening a 27-0 lead.\n\n\"If you disguise the coverage on any QB, he's gonna be confused,\" Green said. \"He (Anderson) ran an out. I had leverage on him and was able to make the play. I just did my part to help us win.\"\n\nDuring the week, Green expressed bitterness towards the Jets for his release, saying he was \"insulted\" by the team's request to take a substantial cut of more than $1 million. A Jet from 1993-2001, Green ranked third in club history with 24 interceptions.\n\nHis first with the Patriots may have been the sweetest of them all for Green, who raised his arms in the air at the New York 10 before reaching the end zone.\n\nFive of the last six meetings between the AFC East rivals were decided by seven points or less. But this was anything but competitive as the Patriots outgained the Jets, 432 yards to 200, and controlled the ball for more than 38 minutes.\n\nThe Pats also held the Jets to one first down in the first half and nine for the game. The Jets were one for 12 in third down conversions.\n\nBelichick, the former Jets defensive coordinator, spurned the Jets' coaching job when Bill Parcells retired after the 1999 season and took over in New England. He was 0-3 against the Jets before a 17-16 win here last December became the second of nine straight wins for the Patriots en route to a Super Bowl triumph.\n\nThe Pats have extended that streak to 11, picking up where they left off with Brady's precision passing and Belichick's confusing defensive packages.\n\nBrady completed 25 of 35 passes, connecting with tight end Cam Cleeland on a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter and rookie Deion Branch on a 49-yard scoring play in the fourth. Last Monday, the Super Bowl XXXVI MVP threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-14 win over Pittsburgh.\n\n\"As long as we win, no one cares who gets the credit,\" Brady said. \"Everytime we go out, we feel we've got to prove it. We earned respect last year, and if we didn't, I guess people are too stupid to realize it.\"\n\nTroy Brown caught nine passes for 94 yards -- all in the first half. He has 31 receptions in his last five games against New York.\n\nAdam Vinatieri, who kicked the game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired in Super Bowl XXXVI, converted all three of his field goal attempts for the second straight week.\n\nThe Jets scored their lone touchdown -- an 11-yard pass from Testaverde to tight end Anthony Becht -- with 51 seconds left in the third quarter.\n\nTestaverde was 15-of-23 for 150 yards before being replaced by Chad Pennington early in the fourth quarter. Pennington went three for 10 for 39 yards.",

"Four people were arrested as police were called to oversee the eviction of squatters from an historic city centre building.\n\nThose thrown out of the 19th Century building told the M.E.N. around 40 homeless people started living there in April - and that there were around 18 left at the time of the eviction.\n\nAn order was granted for repossession of the former cotton mill and printing press at Manchester County Court last month.\n\nA spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said four people were arrested during the eviction.\n\nOf those, two were detained for breach of the peace, one on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and one for a public order offence.\n\nAn area around the building, just off Whitworth Street near Oxford Road station, was taped off by police, with around a dozen officers on guard outside as those inside were removed, along with their possessions.\n\nA member of Manchester’s homelessness team also attended to talk to people about their housing needs and discuss their options.\n\nAndrew Wilson, the high court enforcement officer, said Hotspur House owner Elmloch Limited was granted a repossession order, but squatters did not leave by a specified date, May 31.\n\nHe said copies of the order were served on occupiers.\n\nMolly Fet, 18, said: “We have looked after the place and used it host charity events.\n\n“We’ve even had vegetables growing on the roof.\n\n“The first thing we knew about [the eviction] was when the door was being kicked in.\n\n“They’ve shown no respect and ridiculed us throughout, not letting us get our stuff.\n\n“We were here in protest at the disgusting lack of social housing and we’ll keep protesting until people sit up and take notice.”\n\nThe five-storey warehouse was previously a cotton mill in Manchester’s industrial heyday before being taken over by the printing company Percy Brothers with it being used as a print shop until 2011.\n\nTheir distinctive ‘Hostpur Press’ sign remains adorned on the front of the building.\n\nIn recent years it has been used as a space for artists and musicians.\n\nThe building’s future is uncertain, but significant development is planned nearby with a multi-million revamp of Oxford Road station."

"Russian pair skaters Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov have come back strong after missing last season due to Smirnov’s devastating knee injury, and have proven that it is too early to count them out.\n\nIn October 2013, Smirnov ruptured ligaments in his right knee on a fall in a local competition in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They withdrew from both Grand Prix events in hopes of recovering in enough time for the Olympic Games or the World Figure Skating Championships, however, it was not in the cards and the team ended up sitting out the entire season.\n\nNot many expected the veteran skaters to return after such a serious injury, yet they came back with a bang. Kavaguti, 33, and Smirnov, 30, won their first event in 18 months at Nebelhorn Trophy earlier this fall, and followed up with another win at Skate America while setting a new personal best of 140.00 points in the free skate. The Japanese-Russian duo went on to claim a silver medal at NHK Trophy and qualified for the Grand Prix Final.\n\n“Qualifying for the Final was a present for us,” said Kavaguti. “I didn’t even expect it. I was not thinking so far ahead. I just wanted to take it one competition at a time.”\n\nNerves struck the team in Barcelona, Spain, however, and Kavaguti missed the triple toe and throw triple loop in the short program. Even with a solid free skate that included their quad throw Salchow, the two-time World bronze medalists were not able to move up from sixth place.\n\n“The Final never was our favorite competition,” noted Smirnov.\n\nIndeed, in the six times they participated in the event, they only managed one podium finish—third place—in 2011.\n\nThe Final was meant to be a stepping stone towards Russian Nationals, however, in Sochi not everything went according to plan. Kavaguti and Smirnov sat in second following a clean short program to “Meditation” from the opera Thais by Jules Massenet, and were very pleased with their performance.\n\n“We didn’t save energy, but I was a bit holding back as I was slipping a little in the morning practice,” admitted Smirnov. “But I was very pleased with our skate and with Yuko.”\n\nThe 2010 European champions gave away their chance for victory (and a fourth National title) in their dramatic long program to Tchaikovski’s Manfred Symphony when they made mistakes in their solo jumps. She singled a toeloop and struggled with the double Axel, while he put his hand down on the triple toe.\n\nNevertheless, their quad throw Salchow was a beauty. Kavaguti and Smirnov dropped to third, behind Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, while Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov defended their title.\n\n“We skated very well, with power and strength,” said Smirnov. “We tried to add even more speed and give more emotions.”\n\nSmirnov was not happy with the mistakes and felt they could have easily fought for first place.\n\n“The error in the (triple toe-triple toe) jump sequence cost us many points,” he observed. “We go for the risk, but it doesn’t always work, but I am very pleased with the quad. Yuko did a great job and also skated with many emotions.”\n\nThe Russian Skating Federation named Kavaguti and Smirnov to the team for Europeans, and in Stockholm the skaters want to fight again. The quad throw is a powerful weapon, and the team from St. Petersburg has improved their consistency on it, as well as other elements.\n\nAdditionally, their programs, which were choreographed by Peter Tchernyshev, have been well-received. The short program was Kavaguti’s preference.\n\n“We actually had prepared this program for the Olympic season as a back-up,” she shared. “We did have Russian music with Japanese motifs in it, but I always preferred “Meditation.”\n\nWhile “Meditation” is soft and light, “Manfred” is a very powerful piece of music. Not all skaters can pull off such dramatic music, however, Kavaguti and Smirnov seem to thrive on it. They display strong emotions on the ice and have really grown as performers.\n\nThe 2010 European Champions feel that skating in shows in Korea last spring helped them to develop their presentation skills and that the break motivated them.\n\n“We were unable to compete for more than a year and we missed it,” Kavaguti pointed out. “I think that we could have shown similar emotions and skating last year if we weren’t forced to sit out. We skated our long program at the test skate in Sochi and everybody liked it, but then we’ve been working quietly and prepared for this season and the program even improved.”\n\nFollowing the shows in Korea, the team sat down with long-time coach Tamara Moskvina and decided to return to competing.\n\nThe 2010 Olympians want to do well at Europeans, not only to prove that they are still competitive, but also to secure a spot on the World team. While Olympic champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov might come back if he is fully recovered from his shoulder injury, Kavaguti and Smirnov are currently number three on the team."

"The Cement Industry in Latin America During the Pandemic\n\nIn Addition to Implementing Strict Safety Protocols, Cement Companies Also Made Donations That Benefited the Needy.",
null,
"In this difficult economic and social situation caused by COVID-19, in Latin America several companies in the cement sector were among the first to contribute voluntarily to strengthen the health system.\n\nIn addition to implementing strict safety protocols from day one to preserve the health of their workers, the cement companies also made donations that benefited the most needy population.\n\nIn accordance with the technical guidelines established by the government, CEMEX resumed operations on April 30 to support the development and economy of the country during the COVID-19 contingency. Fernando González Olivieri, CEO of CEMEX, stated: “I want to express CEMEX’s full support for the government of Mexico and Mexican society in these difficult times. We are aware of the challenge we face, but I am confident that together we will succeed.”\n\nCEMEX sales teams around the world are in constant contact with their clients remotely, taking advantage of the effectiveness of CEMEX Go, the company’s digital platform for ordering and invoicing.\n\nCEMEX provided machinery from its Aguascalientes plant as well as donated liquid to the government to disinfect public areas in 11 hospitals. The company’s machinery has a capacity of 6,000 liters, allowing an area of approximately 2,000 square meters to be cleaned.\n\nIn addition, CEMEX provided material so that women from 14 regions of the country produced 11,500 masks and 480 liters of antibacterial gel that have been distributed in cities such as Ensenada, Guadalajara, Mérida and Monterrey.\n\nArgos’ production was affected by the measures to cease operations in Colombia and some countries in the Caribbean and Central America that began in March.\n\nCurrently, in Colombia, mandatory isolation was lifted on April 13 for infrastructure and on April 27 for the construction of buildings, which made it possible to restart operations gradually.\n\nFor its part, in the Caribbean and Central America, shipments continue with total normality in Haiti, showing positive signs of recovery in Honduras since the market opened on April 16, with lesser impact on demand in Suriname and French Guiana, and with levels still below 40% of the usual volumes in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the Antilles. Panama is still not operating due to restrictions and signs of a reopening in mid-May.\n\nDuring this juncture, Argos also contributed to hospitals and communities in the countries where it operates, such as providing food security to the population near the areas of operation, benefiting more than 3,000 families in the communities, to the initiative related to the cleaning and disinfection of hospitals, market places and rallies – attending in total 47 days of disinfection.\n\nIn Colombia, to date, through the Grupo Argos Foundation, it has contributed $4.2 million in the health area to strengthen the capacity of the clinics.\n\nHowever, through the Loma Negra Foundation in the city of Olavarría, it joined the project “1000 masks for the municipal hospital,” which it contributed via 3D printing carried out by the municipality and the Olavarría Social Club. In Zapala, the Community Development Council promoted the project “Manufacture of 3D masks for health zone 2” with the aim of making 350 masks for health professionals in four municipalities (Las Lajas, Mariano Moreno, Aluminé, Bajada del Agrio).\n\nAnother initiative promoted by the company was to the network of local entrepreneurs, where it helped finance the supplies to make another 1,200 masks.\n\nThe company Votorantim Cimentos acted on two fronts: in the municipalities where the companies themselves are present, it helps to combat the coronavirus, and on the other hand, it provides financial support of $9 million to public authorities, health institutions and private entities of society, in the purchase of medical supplies such as test kits, respirators and other equipment.\n\nThe initiatives will have the technical and medical support of the “Beneficencia Portuguesa de São Paulo”, an organization historically supported by Votorantim.\n\nIn addition, the company created a fund with a million dollars to support the various requests that come through institutions, associations, NGOs, hospitals and other public and private entities.\n\nThe main objective is to provide assistance in donating sanitary equipment and materials such as masks, glasses, gloves, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), among others. Donations have already been made to Edealina, Pinheiro Machado, Rio Branco do Sul and among other areas where the company operates.\n\nRegarding the application of worker protection, Votorantim reinforced all measures aimed at the health of its employees, family members, service providers, partners, customers and communities where the company operates.\n\nObviously, all preventive actions were implemented, such as the cleaning of workplaces and charter buses, changes in the cafeteria routine, orientation to drivers, implementation of thermometers in all production units, prohibition of business trips, technical support telemedicine, psychological support, and telework application from home for all administrative areas.\n\nThe SOBOCE company, which is part of the Peruvian group Gloria, delivered food worth $150,000 to the national government to assist vulnerable sectors in four cities in the country. The donation was made in the Social Management Support Unit of the Presidency of the city of La Paz.\n\nThe products have also been distributed in the cities of Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and El Alto, to shelters for children and adolescents, shelters for people with limited resources, homes for the elderly, rehabilitation houses and shelters for people with disabilities, among others. Among the donated products are 25,000 cans of milk powder, 1,500 units of 2-kilo cheese, 43,000 bags of soy-based food, 60,000 units of 2 liters of water, 10,000 kilos of sugar and 10,000 liters of fruit juices.\n\nMauro Nogarin is Cement Americas’ Latin American contributor. From 1997 to 2001 he was a reporter for the Italian news agency ASCA from Germany to follow the economic events of ECOFIN. At the same time, he began a strong partnership with the Italian magazine Focus with issues related to European scientific research. Back in Italy after six years of residence in the city of Heidelberg, Germany, he worked from Italy for the weekly Stern and Bild Zeitung. Since 2005, he has lived in Bolivia and worked with the Italian geopolitics review Limes, the Italian gas and oil journal Staffetta Quotidiana, the Colombian oil magazine Petroleo Internacional, the German RE Sun and Energy, the U.S. magazine Renewable Energy World (Pennwell), the World Energy Project (Università di Bologna), Pan Americana Construction magazine and World Oil magazine.

"So we can start off with the “this is much ado about nothing” which of course begs the question, “why bother?”\n\nCuz a girl’s gotta write since it’s my passion, and there is always the miniscule hope, (for we all know that it springs eternal) that some poor bastard out there who was “damn the President for dissin’ Christians” will awaken from the fog of dissonance and the clear bell of enlightenment will ring forth: “I was once stupid and now I am not.”\n\nSuch is at least my justification for this essay.\n\nI just happened to be tuned in the other morning as the President gave the traditional speech at the National Prayer Meetin’ which is held annually in Washington where all the sinners come to pretend they are doin’ their very best to apply God’s law as they slip another check from Exxon-Mobile and JP Morgan, into their $3000 suits.\n\nThe President, as we all know, has pretty much given up on the idea that facts, and good logic will get him anywhere, and as of late has pursued a policy of “screw you, try to stop me” and a general “fuck you” to Congressional Republicans who are fresh off the latest round of “ain’t got no bootstraps with which to pay for healthcare? Well die, you dog, and make room for those who do.”\n\nAs every good American knows, there’s the guys in the black hats (bad) and the guys in the white hats (good) always near to the scene. America is built upon this scenario and we have all the cheesy old westerns to prove it. Let us introduce the latest and best entry into the black hats category. A group known as ISIS (not to be confused with an Egyptian god) or ISIL if you have a clue what Levant means.\n\nISIL is a slipshod group of thugs who claim a perverted understanding of Islam which they use to justify their attempts to take over the world. Since their threat is pretty much everywhere, that means just about everyone else gets to be the guys in the white hats, but Merika of course always has to lead, cuz we are the super, super white hats.\n\nAnyway, if you hadn’t noticed, we have a fair share of Arab Muslims (and Arabs in general) who live in the US, and boy I sure wouldn’t want to be them, since Americans are flighty people who tend to assess blame against whole swaths of people since it’s just easier. We learned that from the movies too, where it’s often best to “shoot first and ask questions later.” Anyway, even the dumbest of President (that would be you Dubya) have realized that it’s really not a good idea to let the great stupid mobs of American whiteness carry on in this manner, and so they are always at pains of ‘splainin’ to the stupid white people that NOT ALL ARABS ARE MUSLIMS AND MORE IMPORTANT NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE KILLERS. In fact the huge majority are not, but are just peace-loving, family-seeking individuals like you and me.\n\nNow Dubya can say nice things about Arab Muslims, and even hold hands with them, and nobody thinks a thing bad about it.\n\nHe can even share a short peck and not even be thought particularly gay. Just good old American manners.\n\nAnd he can say all kinds of nice things about Muslims to remind dumb American white people that it’s never a good idea to paint a brush too broad.\n\nerica treasures the relationship we have with our many Muslim friends, and we respect the vibrant faith of Islam which inspires countless individuals to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and morality. This year, may Eid also be a time in which we recognize the values of progress, pluralism, and acceptance that bind us together as a Nation and a global community. By working together to advance mutual understanding, we point the way to a brighter future for all.” Presidential Message Eid al-Fitr December 5, 2002\n\nHumanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. . .So this is not unique to one group or one religion. There is a tendency in us, a sinful tendency that can pervert and distort our faith. In today’s world, when hate groups have their own Twitter accounts and bigotry can fester in hidden places in cyberspace, it can be even harder to counteract such intolerance. But God compels us to try.\n\nthe hue and cry from the extreme right in this country rose like a phoenix, screaming that such utterly evil words had never been spoken in all of our democracy. Former Governor of Virginia, Jim Gillmore was “outraged” having never heard a more terrible thing from the lips of a President. Santorum and Limbaugh chimed in with their mortification of Christianity today being compared to the unspeakable ISIS killers. And on it went, the rallying cry being “this is not a moral equivalency!!”\n\nAnd it was not suggested as such either, if you read the text.\n\nIt was meant to remind everyone that while the killings by ISIS are horrific, we as humans have been doing horrific things to each other since the inception of so-called civilization, and a good deal of it has been veiled in perverted religious beliefs. People find it most convenient to put on the mask of religion to disguise their blatant lust for power and to express their hatred and fear. It has always been so. ISIS is no different in that respect than all the others. It is no more heinous, no more bloody certainly, and no more representative of the faith it espouses than any of the others were.\n\nA few examples should suffice.",

"African-Americans in this country were often burned at the stake during slavery and Jim Crow. If you don’t think it was done in the name of Christianity, then read the words of the Confederate Vice President Alexander Stevens:\n\n[T]he first government ever instituted upon the principles in strict conformity to nature, and the ordination of Providence, in furnishing the materials of human society … With us, all of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the negro. Subordination is his place. He, by nature, or by the curse against Canaan, is fitted for that condition which he occupies in our system. The architect, in the construction of buildings, lays the foundation with the proper material-the granite; then comes the brick or the marble. The substratum of our society is made of the material fitted by nature for it, and by experience we know that it is best, not only for the superior, but for the inferior race, that it should be so.\n\nIt is, indeed, in conformity with the ordinance of the Creator. It is not for us to inquire into the wisdom of His ordinances, or to question them. For His own purposes, He has made one race to differ from another, as He has made “one star to differ from another star in glory.” The great objects of humanity are best attained when there is conformity to His laws and decrees, in the formation of governments as well as in all things else. Our confederacy is founded upon principles in strict conformity with these laws.\n\nThe charred body of Jesse Washington pictured above was in 1905 in Waco. The deaths of countless other African-Americans during Jim Crow by lynching, by the KKK (which always has a “Christian” front), occured. George Wallace invoked the name of God dozens of times in his 1963 inaugural address where he also famously uttered the words, “Segregation now. . .segregation tomorrow. . .segregation forever.”\n\nThe extreme Right-Wingers will tell you that the Crusades were wars of defense. Yet the arguable owners of that land were Palestinians and Jews. Muslims lay claim based on Muhammad. Yet Christians have no real claim certainly any greater than Jews or Muslims. All claim the area as holy. Yet when the first Crusade ended, the city of Jerusalem was cleared of all non-Christians, and by cleared I mean murdered. Jews who barricaded themselves in their synagogues were burned to death and survivors sold into slavery. All told the Crusades occurred over about 200 years, ending in 1291 or so.\n\nWhen Saladin recaptured Jerusalem, only then were Jews allowed to return and live in relative freedom. This was in 1187, nearly a hundred years later.\n\nThey claim that the Inquisition was “political” as if that means something.\n\nIn fact the Inquisition was instituted by Pope Innocent III and set up by Pope Gregory IX. Confessors to heresy were burned alive. In 1242 the Talmud was condemned and burnings of Jews began in France in 1288. The Inquisition was begun in Spain for fear of “secret Jews” and the Conversos (those that had converted at pain of death in the first place and were suspected of retaining their true Judaic beliefs). In Seville alone more than 700 Jews were burned to death. By the time it ended in 1808, nearly 32,000 died by fire.\n\nAnd the Inquisition was not just in Spain and France. It spread to Portugal and then to New World colonies and throughout Asia as well.\n\nWe need not but mention the Troubles in Ireland in which religion was the division between sides. Or that of India/Pakistan again, where religion affiliation defined the sides.\n\nIt is not that religion perverts human souls, but that some small sick group humans use religion to perpetrate their own evils upon the world.\n\nPresident Obama, in the hopes of tamping down the ugly nativism that is so beginning to plague this nation with its ugly hate, attempted to remind us that we all have blood upon our hands. ISIS is but the latest in a long line of evil people doing evil things in the name of their perverted version of God.\n\n** Let me recommend Jeff Sharlet’s book The Family which documents the shady and weird folks behind the National Prayer Breakfast.\n\n**Also a great read is Karen Armstrong’s Fields of Blood which argues that religion has played a lesser role in most violence historically, however much it may have been the cover story. I’ve not read this but I’ve read others of hers and she is a uniquely qualified religious scholar who is highly respected for her scholarship. She was once a nun herself."

"Snickers and BBDO New York are still managing to find new twists on the brand’s seven-year-old “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” platform.\n\nThis time, the new elements include taking an unusual, two-stage messaging approach.\n\nNow, Snickers has launched a 60-second digital/online video (below) in which a brand spokesperson apologizes, saying, “When we ran this print ad to let you know about new Espresso Snickers, admittedly, we were hungry. And it wasn’t until after we tried this new flavor ourselves that we realized just how irritable we were. We’d like to let you know that we’re trying to make amends.”\n\nThe video cuts to a bank of customer service reps, with one trying to apologize to a woman outraged that her son’s feelings were hurt by the “jerk” print ad … on his birthday.\n\nThe print ad and video include shots of Snickers “hunger bars” —bars bearing words on the packaging that convey various symptoms of hunger. In this case, the messages include “Irritable?” for the espresso flavor; “Indecisive?” for Sweet & Salty; and “Wimpy?” for the Fiery variety."

"My name is Natalie and I am almost sixteen years old. I didn’t know what to do when two boys asked me out on the same day and I didn’t realise how little I knew about life at the time… but I made my decision and now I have to live with the consequences…\n\nThat, in a nutshell, is how Natalie, the protagonist of Carmen Capuano’s YA/crossover novel Split Decision, would introduce herself.\n\nNatalie knows she has some decisions to make. Should she date the boy next door or the other one, the one who looks as if he plans to set the world on fire? What she doesn’t know is that the wrong decision will send her life spiraling into the stuff of nightmares where she might not come out alive.\n\nLife takes a cruel twist of fate when Natalie, a completely average [almost] 16 year old is forced to make a split-second decision…a decision that will change her future and forever alter her perception of trust, love and the realities of life.\n\nSplit Decision could be thought of as ‘a modern take on Sliding Doors with a teenage edge’. It’s a novel of contrasts, of humour and dark despair, where difficult themes such as rape and drug abuse are written of in a style that is gritty but never gratuitous, coming via numerous plot twists to a surprise conclusion. It is written from the heart and tells a tale of what may be, in a world that is increasingly dangerous for all, but especially teenagers and fledgling adults.\n\nAuthor Carmen Capuano is a live wire, and the agency is very pleased to be presenting Split Decision to UK publishers. Just get in touch and ask to see sample chapters, a synopsis, etc.",

"Part of the ‘mission’ of South African indie publishing house P’kaboo is to be a springboard from which to launch authors to bigger things, to be the first step for an author in getting himself or herself noticed by mainstream publishers in the wider world, particularly in the UK and USA. With that in mind, this agency, as the UK representative of P’kaboo, would like to bring three books to your attention.\n\nEach one is available on request, for consideration by any commercial publisher in the UK, the USA, or worldwide. Just email this agency!\n\nAlthough the three books here may all be classified generally in the ‘fantasy’ genre, this is only one of the strings to P’kaboo’s bow. Their list includes a range from children’s books to music manuals.",

"Solar Wind I: The Mystery of the Solar Wind\nLyz Russo\nThis is the first of a series – the author has completed No.IV – and the most obvious place to start. Although this novel and its sequels may fit the ‘fantasy’ genre, this one may be thought of rather as a mystery novel in a futuristic setting.\n\nThe year is 2116. Captain Radomir Lascek sails his pirate ship, the Solar Wind, around the oceans, collecting outlaws and fugitives and dodging the authorities. But then he hires three young musicians in Dublin – the Donegal Troubles. Radomir Lascek, with all his wily schemes, is about to learn the real meaning of ‘trouble’.\n\nHere is what some readers and reviewers have had to say. Firstly in the Father’s Day issue of South Africa’s Your Family magazine:\n\nMystery of the Solar Wind… is a heart-warming and sometimes breath-stopping tale of murder, flight, and friendship. The Solar Wind’s crew is more than a motley one. They are a bickering, eccentric clan, full of shenanigans and loyal to the death… which might just be around the corner.\n\nSecrets, mysteries, lies, deceptions, intrigue and murder are just some of what you will encounter when you board the Solar Wind for your journey into the 22nd century. This will not be just any ordinary journey, it will keep you spellbound, alert, terrified, inquisitive and more, about the new world powers of the year 2116 and just what changes are in store for you. With a cast of characters so diversified, yet so alike, you will want to not only learn the reasons why each crewmember signed on to the Solar Wind, but go along with them on their dangerous journey to find freedom and safety in a world filled with fear.\n\nThe fast-moving and often surprising action leaves one quite breathless, rather like gypsy music played at a rousing pace. Yet one has time to get to know the characters, so that one can’t help but be drawn into their differing mind sets. Interesting how these diverse characters are tied into an intrinsically functioning unit, without the reader even noticing the natural ease with which the author does this. – The book raises some thought-provoking questions and leaves one looking forward to more from the pen of this intriguing author.\n\nThis book is a definite must-have for your library. A gripping tale from beginning to end, with characters so vividly described and with such varied and interesting personalities (one can’t help thinking of them as friends), you feel as though you know each of them personally. After reading this book all I can say is – Ahoy! Off to the next adventure!\n\nLeslie Hyla Winton Noble\nBeautiful and brilliant young Lady Regina-Valerie, only child of a wealthy lord, has everything. Everything, that is, except friendship and happiness. Her Siamese cat Tickle has a lot to say, but not much she can understand … until suddenly, she does. Then she is swept from her modern world into a wild adventure in the Warrior Magic Circle land where war is the main thing and ‘non-combat creatures’ like women are looked down upon. She and Tickle are kept very busy in a battle not only against evil forces and terrifying creatures, but also against the silly customs. To top it all, Regina has to fight with her own nature. After combating overwhelming obstacles with the help of a prince and princess, a wolfhound, a shy Scottish admirer, horses, and a martial eagle, she and Tickle are set the task of solving an impossible conundrum and tracking to his lair a malevolent creature powerful beyond imagining.\n\nFantasy lovers of all ages will be captivated by the excitement, humour and imagination in this epic tale of a quest with a difference.",

"The Everywhen Angels\nMarie Marshall\nIn these turbulent times with everything streaming towards its final demise, who can be a normal kid and simply go to school? Caught in the maelstrom of events in what may be the ‘Last Days’, the Angels are there when they are needed, preventing accidents, saving lives. They feel like heroes, invincible… until things start going wrong. Their story is told through the eyes of three youngsters from a comprehensive school on the outskirts of London. Angela is a poet, a rebel, and a questioner of how things seem. Charlie is a boy with great dreams, but who seems unaware of the troubles of his own mind. Ashe is young, strange, and very special. Join them as they uncover more questions than answers.\n\nScottish author and poet Marie Marshall wrote this novel for teenagers as a response to a challenge to set a fantasy in a school, and produce a novel as good as anything that a certain famous and wealthy compatriot of hers could write. Well, mission accomplished… and maybe even exceeded!\n\nHere are some reviews and comments. Firstly from Nikki Mason at BestChickLit.com:\n\nThree extraordinary kids. Three astounding stories. What will you believe?\n\nAngela is just an ordinary teenager until the day she falls through a fence at school into the alternative reality of the Guardian Angels, a group of twelve teens who are tasked with protecting people in the build up of the final war between good and evil. But no one will answer Angela’s question: why?\n\nCharlie knows he is special. Of course he’s a Guardian Angel. But he is also a Yellow – the GA’s rivals who try to prevent all their good work. But why is everyone suddenly ignoring him?\n\nAshe is diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and yet he can open doors between worlds and time. He understands what it really means to be a Guardian Angel but can he cope with the knowledge alone?\n\nMarie Marshall tackles big subjects in The Everywhen Angels from religion and science to war and politics. All this rages on in the foreground of the lives of three teenagers who are trying to find their place in their world and be comfortable in their own skin. Action packed, full of crazy tangents, incredible ideas and stunning description, the novel is completely different to anything I have read before. It can at times be confusing, but bear with the story – the mind-boggling themes and plot diversions will be explained and will feed the curious minds of young adults.\n\nWriting of this quality ought to win the Carnegie Medal or something.\n\nStraight up, no bull, the best book for this age-group that I have read in a long, long time.\n\nThe book is something special. The characterisation is convincing. The narrative is entertaining and gripping, but at the same time shows a wealth of knowledge and research and introduces challenging food for thought on abstract matters.\n\nThe Everywhen Angels by Marie Marshall is told through the eyes of three different teenagers in a school somewhere in England, as they take on the function of angels. They discover along with a small band of others that they have supernatural abilities which they are obliged to keep secret, however. How they put these abilities to use, for good or bad, that is the matter of the story. This book challenges its reader to face deep, existential questions; about life, the nature of the universe, the ‘ending times’ and what they mean (from several different perspectives); what is good and what is bad, or is there, and if so, by which right or logic do we interfere in what happens to others. The story left me feeling somewhat rattled and as though my cupboard of philosophies has received a good airing and spring-cleaning, and I now need to put things back and decide what to keep. It is an excellent book; one of those ‘clingy’ ones that stays with you for days after because you have to think about it.\n\nIt’s tough to capture the sheer suspense of this book in mere words.\n\nStop Press!\nDue out soon – Marie Marshall’s From My Cold, Undead Hand, a non-stop teen-vampire story, the first of a planned trilogy. More news as we get it…",

"Hovenweep National Monument consists of 318 hectares of federal lands divided across six non-contiguous units along the Utah-Colorado border in the western U.S., with one unit on the territory of the Navajo Nation. The monument’s name means “deserted valley” in the native Western and Southern Numic languages, indicative of its extremely remote, harsh character. It was established by presidential proclamation in 1923 to protect the ruins of Native American villages, built during the Pueblo II-III phases (A.D. 900-1350) of Southwest prehistory over a 20-mile range on both sides of the state line. The eponymous multi-story stone structures at the Square Tower unit are emblematic of the monument, and the alignment of Hovenweep Castle defines a solar calendar device used by the builders to reckon the passage of the seasons, important to subsistence farming in the harsh climate of the Colorado Plateau.\n\nHovenweep enjoys dark, natural night skies on account of its geographic isolation in a part of the U.S. that has a very low population density. Its Gold-tier – the darkest of the three tiers – skies afford both a respite from the busy, everyday life of populated areas, and a natural nighttime experience. The monument management has taken steps to ensure these qualities endure for many years to come.\n\nClick here to find ideal environmental conditions for viewing the night sky at Hovenweep National Monument (37.38355, -109.0725). Don’t forget to plan your trip during the new moon and astronomical twilight to enhance the viewing experience!"

"Patents are granted only to “natural persons” and will not be issued to AI-made creations.\n\nThe US Patent Office has published a new ruling saying that its patents will not be granted to inventions from an artificial intelligence system.\n\nThe ruling means that the power of AI will be limited and fears of “Westworld” may be assuaged.\n\nThe US Patent Office published the ruling as it denied two patents filed on behalf of an artificial intelligence system called DABUS. The office stated that it will grant patents only to “natural persons” and not to technology. The two patents that were denied were for a flashlight and a food container. They were filed by Stephen Thaler on behalf of DABUS. Thaler created DABUS and is an AI researcher.\n\nAccording to the patent filing, Thaler refers to DABUS as a “creativity machine.” As a result, he was seeking to be sure that he was giving full credit to the AI for the inventions. Within the filing, Thaler made the argument that “allowing a machine to be listed as an inventor would incentivize innovation using AI systems.”\n\nThe patent office turned down the filing on behalf of the artificial intelligence system and updated its rules.\n\nThe ruling states that only inventions made by a “natural person” can be submitted for a patent. This reflects prior patent law language. There is also precedence in existing federal court rulings. It cited a Federal Circuit court decision from 1994 in which an invention’s very nature was described.\n\n“Conception is the touchstone of inventorship, the completion of the mental part of invention. It is the formation in the mind of the inventor, of a definite and permanent idea of the complete and operative invention … [Conception] is a mental act …” said the ruling.\n\nThe US isn’t the only place where patents filings listing DABUS as the inventor have been denied.",
null,
"Europe and the United Kingdom’s patent registrations offices have also declined the filings for similar reasons. Moreover, the European Patent Office also brought up the issue that if AI was to be granted rights as an inventor, current regulations would not provide the capacity to enforce the inventor’s rights."

"I’m normally super perky on the early shift. It amuses me to piss off Debra, who sulks about needing caffeine and only turns it on once the doors open. I bounce in at 7.30am. Sometimes I sing. Kate did this dance once at the morning meeting – I’m alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic! It had hand movements and everything. I was cracking up in the background and Debra’s face was thunder. That’s one of the things that first attracted me to Kate when she joined – she could give as good as she got. She had a fun streak that was just a little bit chaotic evil.\n\nThis morning is more subdued. I pretend to be shocked when they tell us about the state of the stockroom and skulk off to survey the wreckage.\n\nBoy, we did make a mess, didn’t we? Kate isn’t on today, lucky cow. She’s probably still asleep. I haven’t heard from her since we went our separate ways after midnight. I wonder if things will change now. Too late to go back. There’s no unlicking the things I’ve licked.\n\nThe tension had been building for weeks. There’s only so many ways you can bend over sluttily and flirt outrageously and send sex-eyes at someone when you’ve got sticky preschoolers pawing at you and eight-year-olds sword fighting and mums demanding discounts. Eventually you have to get yourselves alone.\n\nSo last night we were both on lock-up duty and there was no way it wasn’t happening. But she was the one who started it.\n\n‘Let me paint your face,’ she said, with a hint of challenge in her voice, tucking the paintbrush between her teeth. Of course within five minutes, my bra was off. She opened three boxes to get enough blue for her design. And five minutes after that… Oh, the things that girl can do with a sponge.\n\nI start picking up boxes and stacking them. I swore to Kevin that everything was pristine when we left at 8pm. They think vandals broke in and stole what they could carry. Actually, we did have to throw away quite a bit. I mean, you can’t box it back up and sell it afterwards, can you?\n\nThey’ve opened the doors already and I can hear the first kids squealing in.\n\nEach thing I pick up is a flashback. I’m glad no-one’s here to see me smirk. Less than ten hours ago, I was tied to this shelving unit with a pair of slinkies. Now that’s creativity. I think I was the one that made that entire stack of Lego boxes fall down. But I’ll have it all squared up in less time than it takes to run the battery down on a vibrating pull-string turtle.\n\nI wonder when Kate and I are next scheduled to work together. Wednesday night? Good. The pick-and-mix has needed reorganising for a while.\n\nElanor studied literature and linguistics at university before training as a Speech and Language Therapist. She has worked in the NHS for six years, only recently turning to writing as a creative outlet. When not reading or writing, she enjoys hikes, cooking and other people’s dogs. Twitter: em_banks"

"Helena Pelletier’s past comes back to haunt her when her criminal father escapes from prison. She has kept her past history a secret from her husband. Now, everything comes out into the open when Michigan State Police officers come to the door of her family home.\n\nHelena realizes that the police will never find her father. He is an expert hunter and tracker of native Ojibwe descent. Though she has every reason to despise him for his treatment of her mother and herself, the little girl in her still holds some warped affection for the man who taught her everything he knows.",
null,
"With her own honed skills as hunter/tracker, and her expert knowledge of her home territory in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, she sets out to find her father and turn him in to the proper authorities. Leaving her husband and tiny daughters behind, she sets off in her truck with the company of her three-legged Plott Hound named Rambo.",

"There have been several books written lately that feature characters who were abducted, or born into abduction. “The Marsh King’s Daughter” stands apart from the others. It was skillfully written with a unique slant on the trope.",

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading of Helena’s early history and her convoluted affections for the man who fathered her. For the first twelve years of her life, Helena lived in primitive isolation without electricity or running water. Conflicted, deprived, abused, she well may have been, but she was also intelligent, skilled, and a true survivor. For the most part, I rooted for Helena throughout the novel. The only thing I disliked about her was her childhood distorted views of her mother – a woman who she seems to have no respect or affection for. With this dysfunctional family dynamic, I understood why she felt that way, but didn’t condone it. As she matured, her thinking about her mother evolved.\n\nWhile reading, I learned a little about the native Ojibwe legends, way of life, and the expert skills they developed for living off the land with none of the conveniences we have come to expect. It was fascinating.\n\nJacob Holbrook, Helena’s father was a cruel man. A narcissistic sociopath with no moral compass. He was also a man who was a talented artist and expertly skilled trapper, hunter, and woodsman who truly understood sustainability.\n\nInterspersed throughout the narrative were snippets from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Marsh King’s Daughter”.\n\nThis novel was a skillful blend of psychological thriller and action/adventure story. It spoke to the topics of nature vs. nurture, and dealt with a strong young woman whose life seemed filled to the brim with difficult, if not impossible choices to make.\n\nI look forward to reading more by this talented author.\n\nThis review was written voluntarily and my rating was in no way influenced by the fact that I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel from G.P. Putnam’s Sons via Edelweiss – Published June 13, 2017",

"Zhong Nanshan, despite his advanced age, was appointed to lead the National Health Commission's investigation into the new virus, which has rattled millions of Chinese who are travelling for the week-long Lunar New Year holiday, which starts on Saturday, and jolted global markets.\n\nHis announcement on Monday that the virus could spread between humans - local officials had previously said the possibility of such transmission was limited - ratcheted up worries about the outbreak. The same night, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for resolute action to curb the spread.\n\nZhong, who is also well-known for his muscle-bound physique - photos of him lifting weights are widely circulated online - became a household name in 2003, when China was accused of covering up a major outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).\n\nOn Tuesday, he told a press briefing in the southern city of Guangzhou, where he is based, that the government had been forthright about reporting cases and has been transparent in managing the outbreak.\n\nEarly on Thursday, officials in Wuhan, a metropolis of 11 million people, closed off transport links to prevent the spread of the virus - a move that sources said Zhong had advocated for.\n\nZhong and the National Health Commission could not immediately be reached for comment.\n\nDuring the new virus outbreak, Beijing has warned officials that they face public shame if they cover up any infections.\n\nThat marks a departure from 2003, when in an atmosphere of fear and suspicion, Zhong, a respiratory diseases specialist, gave media his candid, pessimistic assessment of the severity of the SARS crisis.\n\nIt's Getting REALLY Bad!

"Mark Hoyle, known as YouTube personality LadBaby, is a vlogger that uses his videos to teach even the most clueless of fathers simple dad techniques.\n\nWhen his wife asked him to buy an expensive baby-walker for their son, he decides there must be an alternative. So he sets out to make a video to help other dads who might be facing the same situation. The outcome wasn’t what he expected.\n\nLike many techniques, this video started out as a way to save money.",
null,
"At the start of the video, Mark’s wife had told him that they needed to buy their son a walker, which would cost about £60 ($80) according to her.\n\n“60 quid?” questioned Mark. He was not too thrilled about spending that much.\n\nIn the next part, Mark reiterates his disgust to his viewers, “I ain’t doing it … absolutely no chance.” He did want to get his infant son a walker, but he was determined to find a way that wouldn’t cost him that much money. While at work he came up with another idea.\n\nHe built a walker out of plastic piping.",
null,
"Much to the joy and surprise of his wife, he constructed a walker from the ground up.\n\nAt first she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What is that!?” she asks. “That’s not what I told you to get.”\n\nWhen she checks it out, she’s actually impressed with how well-crafted it is. There was a big pinwheel on one side, and a sort-of snack holder.\n\nWhen she asked what caused him to do this, he cuts her off saying, “money.”\n\nHe claimed that this invention of his only cost him £25, as opposed to the 60 that he was asked to use to buy one from a store. And his wife agreed that this was better for Phoenix—especially when she saw him using it.\n\nThe best part (besides the money saved for Mark), was that baby Phoenix looked like he enjoyed it.",

"Mark was just a dad that wanted his son to be able to learn to walk, but wanted to be cost-efficient at the same time. He called his new invention the Zim Zimmer.\n\nThe video amassed over 4 million views on Facebook, and eventually, Mark then tried to sell the Zim Zimmer through sites like eBay and Facebook. Bids went crazy for Mark’s invention, but the eBay auction eventually fell through.\n\nMark then came across someone who had needed his Zim Zimmer more than his son did.",

"The recipient was the family of Buzby Warrington, an infant with quadriplegic cerebral palsy.\n\nMark announced the transaction on Facebook, saying “Buzby’s an incredible little man and having heard about his story … it’s the perfect home for the Zim Zimmer to try to get this little legend walking!”\n\nOut of all the people to acquire the first ever Zim Zimmer, it sure looks like it’s being put in the right hands.\n\nNow, Buzby will be able to enjoy learning to walk with his new Zim Zimmer, all thanks to Mark, a great father who initially just wanted to save a few bucks.\n\nWatch the hilarious video below:"

"WINNIPEG – Accounts of those challenging the vote that saw Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson become leader of the Progressive Conservatives are expected to be questioned in court this week.\n\nShelly Glover, who lost last month to Stefanson by a small margin, has alleged there were irregularities when ballots were counted and wants a judge to order a new vote.\n\nGlover, her scrutineer and two other supporters have filed affidavits to support her claim.\n\nThe Progressive Conservative party has also filed documents saying the election was fair.\n\nA cross-examination of the affidavits is scheduled for today and Tuesday in Court of Queen’s Bench.\n\nGlover’s case is then scheduled to be argued before a judge on Dec. 10.\n\nGlover, a former member of Parliament, came up short with 49 per cent of the ballots in the Oct. 30 vote. When the results were announced, the ballots totalled 16,546, with Stefanson winning 51 per cent.\n\nGlover alleges her team was given a spread sheet in the morning with a smaller tally of total votes. One of the people acting as a vote scrutineer for Glover’s team, in an affidavit, says he saw unsecured ballot boxes being moved out of the room where votes were counted.\n\nProgressive Conservative Party president Tom Wiebe says in his affidavit the spreadsheet that was given to the campaign teams in the morning was not a final count.\n\nIn another affidavit, a partner at a chartered professional accounting firm that helped conduct the vote says ballot boxes were removed after the counting was complete. The ballots were then taken to a vehicle, guarded by a security firm, and taken back to a secure room in the accounting firm’s offices, the affidavit states.\n\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 29, 2021.\n\nAnyone can read Conversations, but to contribute, you should be registered Torstar account holder.

"As every fan familiar with Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman knows, the caped crusader has some deep-seated mental problems stemming from witnessing the death of his parents when he was just a child. In the Christopher Nolan film Batman Begins, actor Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne even admits, “…a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues.”\n\nBatman always seems to be at the forefront of discussions regarding the psychological instability of superheroes; and with the upcoming release of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Wayne’s mental health is once again coming under scrutiny.\n\nDr. Travis Langley is considered a “Superherologist” and an expert on superhero psychology; he is a professor of psychology at Henderson State University in Arkansas and author of the book, Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight, which focuses on many of the mental aspects of the Dark Knight and his alter-ego.\n\nIn part one of our two part series on superheroes and psychology, Dr. Langley graciously broke a way from his extremely busy schedule to give Nerdvana readers some insight into the Dark Knight’s psyche and explain what it is that makes super-beings so screwy.\n\nGiven the nature of what they do, it seems that most superheroes have some sort of psychological problem. What is it about Batman that makes people associate him with mental instability more than with any other hero?\n\nDr. Langley: He doesn’t have superpowers. Superman has fantastic powers and feels obligated to use them in fantastic ways. Superman wears a costume because he is a superhero. Batman, conversely, is a superhero because he wears a costume. If Superman flew off wearing a jumpsuit to save a crashing plane, he’d still be a superhero. If Batman wore a jumpsuit to fight mugger, he’d be a vigilante in a jumpsuit. Because he does not have that kind of power, we inherently contemplate the mental status of this guy who dresses like a bat.\n\nWith your knowledge of the various comic book universes, who would you consider the hero with the most psychological problems and why? Which villain do you think is most mentally unstable and why?\n\nDr. Langley: That depends on how obscure you want to go. No matter who I pick, a reader can reasonably argue that someone else is crazier. Marvel Comics’ Moon Knight has dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality), but they’re pretty stable identities. The Sentry is a lot more disturbed than Moon Knight and as powerful as Superman, which makes him more potentially dangerous. Deadpool is crazy in ways that defy real-world analysis, as is DC’s Ambush Bug, and neither one of them is consistently heroic or villainous. It’s hard to have a “most unstable” hero or villain because the ones who are the most out of touch with reality aren’t going to be capable enough to survive long.\n\nHave you ever thought of writing/creating a hero that is a psychologist who tries to deal with super villains on a medical/scientific level?\n\nDr. Langley: [Laughs] Yes. Something like that would have to cross my mind, wouldn’t it? Writing such a character would seem a bit self-indulgent. Inevitably, though, some other writer would fall on the cliché of making the therapist “go mad.” Jeph Loeb pulled that lame stunt when he made Doc Samson go insane and turn murderous. It’s a shame. That’s such a waste of a character. One of my favorite comic book stories ever involved Samson going through a series of therapeutic interviews with the members of X-Factor.\n\nIf Bruce Wayne did not have the financial means to do what he does as Batman, what do you think he would be doing in the ‘real world?’\n\nYour book talks about Batman’s relationships with ‘bad girls’ that he should be locking up. Besides the obvious physical attraction, what is it that draws them together?\n\nDr. Langley: Danger is exciting. Batman feels most alive when he’s in danger, so dangerous women make him feel more alive. I spend a whole chapter in my book speculating on this. Batman is the truest part of himself. He can’t always fulfill women who find his Bruce Wayne playboy act attractive. Why, then, do criminals like Talia al Ghul, Catwoman, and Nocturna appeal to him the most? Why doesn’t he develop long-term relationships with superheroines? There are many reasons, but I think the most important one is that superheroines are good people and, in his own opinion, he’s not.\n\nWhy do you think costumed heroes who have lost their parents (Batman, Spider-Man, Superman) are so popular in modern culture?\n\nDr. Langley: I discussed this with Stan Lee once because this question has fascinated me for some time. Stan’s characters were almost all orphans simply because he didn’t bother writing about their parents. Other writers, not Stan, eventually established that those heroes’ parents were all dead. Notable exceptions like Spider-Man and Daredevil were orphans because the loss of father figures played an important part in motivating them to use their powers to help others; plus Stan told me he wanted Peter Parker to have a “tough life.” Parents get in the way. If your Mom is fretting over you keeping your supersuit clean and you getting lunch before fighting Dr. Doom, that’s situation comedy, not a heroic epic.\n\nMany people cite heroes in comic books as being a positive influence on their lives. What are the healthy traits that Batman possesses, if any?\n\nDr. Langley: He has many: self-control, self-sacrifice, confidence, intelligence, analytical ability, altruism. If not for that great self-control to keep his anger in check, he’d have gotten himself killed long ago, after beating some others to death. Batman spends his life in service to others. He has sacrificed so much to try to keep other people from suffering losses like his own. At the end of the movie The Dark Knight, he sacrifices his own reputation to try to preserve the image of Gotham’s White Knight, Harvey Dent, because he thinks that’s illusion is what the people of Gotham City need. He may have underestimated his own ability to inspire hope, as we should see in The Dark Knight Rises.\n\nDr. Langley will be speaking at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con this Thursday, July 12 at the Comics Arts Conference Session #4: The Dark Knight Rises: Is Batman Broken?

"For many, November 27th will go down as the day their dreams of being a prince or princess were crushed. Prince Harry is officially engaged to the last person anyone would expect: an American divorcée. Now the last time a royal wanted to marry a divorcée, things did not exactly go as planned... that being said Meghan Markle is no Wallis Simpson. Meghan Markle is an American actress, humanitarian, and all around amazing human being. If we (because I know you wanted to marry him as much as I did), had to lose out to someone... at least it's to such a stunning and independent woman. I could gush on and on about the new Royal pair but instead here are just a few things you need to know about the Royal engagement.\n\nThey met on a blind date.\n\nHarry and Meghan didn't know much about one another when they met. If it hadn't been for a friend that set them up, they may have never gotten together.",

"Cyclopia pubescens is a very attractive, yet highly threatened species, endemic to the extreme east of the Fynbos Biome. Its club-like clusters of vibrant yellow spring flowers create an exceptional sight, which qualifies it as a contender in the ornamental plant stakes.",
null,
"Fig. 1. Cyclopia pubescens inflorescence, and a close-up of the flowers.\n\nAn erect, single-stemmed shrub growing up to 2 m high. Leaves are alternate, palmate, with 3 leaflets. Leaflets are long and very narrow, cylindrical, covered with short hairs on the upper surface, and with strongly rolled-under (revolute) margins. Flowers are yellow and slightly honey-scented. Flowering time is in spring (September). The fruit is a pod.\n\nUrban expansion, agriculture, as well as infestations of alien plants have transformed the habitat of Cyclopia pubescens to such an extent that it is currently assessed as Critically Endangered (CR) in the Red List of South African Plants. The remaining, severely fragmented, subpopulations continue to suffer ongoing loss of habitat to urban expansion, degradation of habitat quality because of invasive alien plants, and damage caused by vlei rats and regular mowing, all of which result in a continuing decline in the number of individuals.\n\nFurthermore, this highly threatened species is confined to a small geographic range, thus, managing its remaining populations is extremely important.",
null,
"Fig. 2. Cyclopia pubescens growing on the edge of the vlei at Van Stadens Nature Reserve.\n\nCyclopia pubescens is one of three honeybush species endemic to the Eastern Cape. This highly threatened species is restricted to the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole, where it grows in wetlands and along drainage lines in lowland fynbos.\n\nMost Fynbos species are exposed to regular fires and their life cycle, climatic, as well as habitat conditions have become adapted to the local fire conditions, including seasonality, intensity, frequency and extent of fire events (Beyers 2016). Although the role of fire for seed germination is still unclear for this species, since Cyclopia pubescens is a reseeding species, its germination requirements must be met for the population to persist, therefore, appropriate fire conditions are essential.\n\nReseeding species die during fire and rebuild their population exclusively through seeds (Kokotkiewicz & Luczkiewicz 2009), and too frequent fires can be detrimental to the perseverance of their population.\n\nThe climate of the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) is moderate, the temperature gradients are mild, with stable temperatures at the coast and more diurnal ranges in the mountains, so most of the GCFR has suitable growing conditions for many warm-temperate crop species. The eastern region, which is where Cyclopia pubescens is restricted to, has a less seasonal rainfall pattern.",
null,
"The name Cyclopia is derived from the Greek word cyclops, meaning ‘round-eyed’, which refers to the circular depression or sunken area at the base of the calyx around the flower stalk (Joubert et al. 2011). The species name pubescens, refers to its leaflets that are covered with short hairs on the upper surface.\n\nCyclopia is a genus of the Fabaceae and is endemic to the Fynbos Biome of South Africa. There are 24 known species of Cyclopia, 23 of which are surviving (Schutte 1997). Cyclopias are commonly called honeybush or heuningtee in Afrikaans because the tea made from the leaves and flowers of Cyclopia genistoides has the aroma of honey, and a sweet taste (Smith 1966). Several species of Cyclopia are used to make honeybush tea, and the name honeybush is now commonly used for all species of Cyclopia. Some might think that they earned this name from their honey-scented blooms. Cyclopia pubescens is commonly known as fluffy honeybush because of its soft and woolly textured leaves.\n\nCyclopia is endemic to the Fynbos Biome, species occur on the coastal plains and in mountainous regions of the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. Some of the species are widespread, while others only occur within small areas in limited numbers (Joubert et al. 2011).\n\nCyclopia pubescens is pollinated by carpenter bees, Xylocopa flavorufa. There are at least 20 000 species of bees and they are one of the largest groups of pollinators, Bee-pollinated flowers are generally blue or yellow but rarely red since it is believed that red appears black to bees (Miller et al. 2011).",
null,
"Ants are considered to be the agent of seed dispersal for this species, owing to the presence of an oily body, known as elaiosome, that serves to attract ants to the seeds, and they carry them away, thus dispersing them.\n\nFairly recent studies, however, have indicated that the rate of seed germination of Cyclopia pubescens is not that high under higher fire temperatures, but that it does require some fire for germination. Its habitat being marshy areas may be playing a role to regulate the intensity of the fire, to maintain the required heat for seed germination. Apart from stimulating the fire-dependent seed bank, fire is also important for reducing seed predators and sterilizing the soils from diseases and fungi (Pat Holmes, pers. comm.).\n\nFor population management of this species, it is imperative to consider these elements as of importance to ensure the future survival of Cyclopia pubescens.\n\nCyclopia species are used to produce honeybush tea, hence are generally well-known as honeybush or heuningtee in Afrikaans. Honeybush tea is one of the traditional South African herbal teas with a long history of regional use, yet, unlike rooibos, which is made from Aspalathus linearis, it remained a cottage industry until the mid-1990s. The first review on honeybush tea was written by Du Toit et al. in 1998 and summarised, amongst other things, information collected on its traditional use and processing during field trips to the Langkloof area in 1994 and 1995 (Joubert et al. 2011).\n\nSix of the 23 extant species of Cyclopia are used commercially to make honeybush tea, C. genistoides, C. intermedia and C. subternata are the main commercially used species. C. pubescens is not commercially used for tea production, but has ornamental potential, due to its attractiveness.\n\nCyclopias can be successfully propagated from seed or through cuttings. The vegetative propagation, or cuttings process, is slower and more expensive, as it requires advanced nursery infrastructure.\n\nHoneybush seeds have a very hard casing, which should be scarified to enable germination. Alternatively, seeds can be softened by treatment with sulphuric acid. The time required for mechanical scarification depends on the age and condition of the seed, while for sulphuric acid treatment only, the species has an influence. Apart from scarification, the seeds of some species, such as Cyclopia intermedia, also require a cold or chemical treatment for successful germination (Joubert et al. 2011).\n\nFor most cyclopias, the soils of their habitat are well-drained, sandy to sandy loamy, with a low pH, phosphorus content, and nematode count.\n\nAlthough , there is currently no detailed information on how to propagate Cyclopia pubescens, our colleagues from Kwelera NBG have had great success in growing it from seeds sown at the beginning of July, in a cocoa-peat medium and watered twice a week. Out of the 50 seeds sowed in the middle of winter, with no supplementary bottom heat, 3 seedlings have emerged, which shows that seeds germinate very easily with little effort.\n\nSeedlings are shade intolerant, being found in an exposed unsheltered area, and therefore require full sunlight to flourish.\n\nAcknowledgements: the author thanks Nomama Mei, Curator of Kwelera National Botanical Garden, for providing more specific information on how to propagate Cyclopia pubescens.",

"Highly surreal and bawdy Sketch Comedy / Britcom, starring Englishman Matt Berry (aka George the Volcano) and American Rich Fulcher. Each episode has one plot focusing on them as a pair of well-to-do hangmen at a gentleman's club, as well as various sketches of tangential relevance and canonicity. To add to the confusion, almost every character has the same name as their actor, so it's difficult to tell which Matt it is you're watching, but the show is funny enough that you don't care.\n\nThe show was highly reliant on Running Gags that, though hilarious, probably would have gotten old eventually were it not for British Brevity: the series only ran six episodes.\n\nAlso see Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, most of whose cast have appeared on this show at one time or another. Also also see The Mighty Boosh, the show on which Messrs. Fulcher and Berry met.\n\nTropes used in Snuff Box include:\nRetrieved from \"https://allthetropes.org/w/index.php?title=Snuff_Box&oldid=1436327\"\nCategories:"

"The suicide rates for Indigenous children in Australia continue to be amongst the highest in the world, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged between 15 and 24 are almost four times more likely to commit suicide than non-Indigenous people the same age, according to the ABS. Despite The Westerman Jilya Institute’s best efforts, it’s still failing to fund the depth and breadth of suicide prevention activities required and to ensure that Indigenous communities have access to the clinically and culturally competent services they need. That’s why each year, Jilya runs a fundraising event to raise money for the Dr Tracy Westerman Indigenous Psychology Scholarship Program.\n\nMark spoke with Dr Westerman on the Breakfast Show.\n\nThe Noongar Chamber of Commerce and Industry is growing from strength to strength.

"iTrip Vacations Ocean City is owned and operated by Herb Chisholm and Roger Berwanger. With a focus on local, boutique-level care, they strive to provide personal care to rental owners and guests.\n\nHerb Chisholm began his real estate career in 1982. He spent his first 10 years with Coldwell Banker, including managing the Severna Park office for three years. Herb then spent 20 years with RE/MAX, and during that time achieved the honor of being named to the RE/MAX Hall of Fame because of the volume of real estate sales achieved. In 2008, he decided to operate his real estate business under his own brokers license and left RE/MAX.\n\nDuring those years in real estate, Herb decided there was a need to help his owners during the downmarket by finding qualified tenants to rent their home until the market rebounded. It was at that time that Herb added residential property management to the services he offered his clients. Over the following 25 years, Herb managed between 50 and 80 homes each year, in addition to continuing to list and sell to buyers and sellers.\n\nHerb is a Maryland native, and he and his wife, Susan, have four children. He is an avid golfer, loves boating and traveling to the Caribbean Islands with his wife.\n\nRoger began in commercial banking. He rose rapidly to become a C-level executive in a NYSE-listed bank holding company. His expertise focused on profit center performance management, corporate planning and investment banking. While there, he was cited as a D&B member of Who's Who in Finance and Industry.\n\nRoger left banking in the late 80s to join SaraTech Finance, a division of the Center for Space and Advanced Technology. He performed as a Program Manager for three NASA-funded IT projects and helped pioneer satellite-based video technology to education and training.\n\nRoger was recruited in the mid-90s by the Bank Advisory Group. He performed as a Senior Financial Advisor and World Bank IT-project bid coach. He advised government Finance Ministries and Fortune 100 firms doing business in the UK, Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and India.\n\nIn the late 90s, Roger shifted his focus to small business ownership. He co-owned Grafik Industries Ltd. and Joan Carol Design Group. Later, he founded Accurate Media LLC in 2012. Accurate Media is a HubSpot partner, a member of the Content Marketing Blueprint Community and an Inbound Marketing Consultancy.\n\nRoger and his wife, Judy, acquired Senior Helpers of Annapolis in 2008. The couple operated the Alzheimer's/dementia care franchise until they sold the business in 2013 and relocated to live at the beach permanently.\n\nRoger is a former sailboat owner, a semi-pro photographer, plays golf poorly and an avid traveler. He and Judy have two sons. The couple spends their spare time at the beach, especially in the late afternoon when crowds are gone and the sun is setting.\n\nJudy Berwanger began her career as an elementary school teacher. She later became an educator and curriculum developer for technology education. Here, she serviced schools and trained teachers to implement technology curriculum in their schools.\n\nJudy later joined Roger as a co-owner at an international tradeshow dealership. She was responsible for business development and overseeing production of custom tradeshow products for government and corporate clients.\n\nMost recently, Judy served as a co-owner of an in-home healthcare business. She was responsible for business development, hiring and training caregivers, and guaranteeing customer satisfaction. She holds a B.S. in education and enjoys book club, cooking, travel and the beach."

"It’s “The Hangover” with younger dumbasses. The night before his big medical interview, Justin Chon’s buds take him out for one beer that turns into an all-night debauch. The buds, Skylar Astin and Miles Teller, get all the best lines, Chon suffers all the comic physical pain and humiliation, and local babe Sarah Wright (a Seneca grad) licks a great lollipop while wearing too many beads. These things are becoming formulaic, but that’s not to say they aren’t damn funny, damn sexy and … damn, we wish we were 21 again!\n\nYoung Jack (Nicholas Hoult) unwittingly releases a legendary race of CGI giants from their cloud kingdom in this goofy fun tale. Eleanor Tomlinson plays the requisite princess with a combination of charm, verve and really, really nice hooters, but it is Ewan McGregor’s cock-sure knight who has all the best lines (including a parody of his “Star Wars” standard, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this”). All in all a rollicking, kinda silly romp through a fairytale kingdom with little of the cloying Disneyesque trappings that seem to infect such things. A great couch-flick, family-night movie or high school first-dater; gangs of big dumb fun.\n\nWhen we first read the title, we thought, “Uh oh, the SyFy Channel is at it again,” but we were pleasantly surprised to find that this is a dramatic nature tale about the “real” life of Speckles (“Spotty” in the original Korean), a young dino who learns to hunt with his mother. But life is harsh, and too soon he finds himself alone and afraid; eventually he must confront One-Eye, the cunning and savage adversary who took away everything he loved. Something of a coming-of-age tale told with the latest in South Korean CGI tech. Aka “Tarbosaurus 3-D” or “Jeom-bak-i: Han-ban-do-eui Gong-ryong 3-D.”\n\nThis low-rent indie horror about a wildly dysfunctional family reminds us of Hammer Studios’ early manor-house psycho-thrillers. Scream queen Debbie Rochon appears as “The Governess” to a family who are incapable of leaving their home (we won’t spoil why). Their isolation devolves into a sick game that inevitably turns violent, and that’s when they discover just how screwed they really are. Not the best movie we ever saw, but a classic case of inventive filmmakers learning to do more with less money.\n\nA very entertaining drama based on the true story of a losing Ohio high school baseball team — winning only six of 23 games in their season — which magically turned itself around to win eight post-season games and the state championship. But this isn’t really a “sports” movie: The filmmakers wisely treat it as a coming-of-age tale, complete with first love, belief in yourself and others, and the simple, unexplainable mysteries that make life so wonderful. We liked it.\n\nThis Dustin Hoffman-directed arter with Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins and, especially, Maggie Smith in a tale of manners and elder intrigue within a retirement home for world-class musicians. It seems that the four were once a famed quartet that broke up when Dame Maggie’s star ascended alone, her ego destroying her marriage in the process. Now Maggie is coming to live at the home, and the quartet is to be reformed — except that the haughty diva completely refuses to sing. Can harmony ever be found once it is lost? Wonderful.\n\nRON ASHETON: TRIBUTE CONCERT WITH IGGY & THE STOOGES AND FRIENDS\n\nIf you don’t recognize the name, we’ll forgive you this one time. Ron, who died New Year’s Day 2009, was a guitarist and songwriter for proto-punk masters The Stooges since their inception in 1967. In 2012, he was awarded No. 60 in Rolling Stone’s list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Yet despite being a godfather of the seemingly self-absorbed punk movement, he was also a philanthropist who created an animal welfare foundation and helped launch the careers of scores of struggling musicians. All profits from this doc-concert, featuring Deniz Tek on guitar and the incomparable Henry Rollins, go to Ron’s charities.\n\nFans of “Coronation Street” are trembling with excitement over this exceptional BBC drama, never seen on these shores save bootleg VHS. A seemingly happy Liverpool family with five irrepressible boys begins to slowly implode when a vengeful woman from their past arrives — a woman who knows the family’s darkest secrets. Brilliantly written by the likes of Russell T. Davies (“Doctor Who,” “Queer as Folk”), with the cream of British acting talent, this is a powerhouse drama — with just a hint of the Christian supernatural — that revels in laying bare societal taboos, shocking crimes and loathsome characters hiding in plain sight. Trust us: You will love this.\n\nWe’ll ignore that nonsensical title (“last” and “sequel” seem mutually exclusive) and focus on the positives. After returning to New Orleans, amnesiac Ashley Bell struggles to remember the terrifying events of “Part 1,” which killed her entire family. But — surprise! — the evil isn’t done with her yet, leading to more painful scenes of contorted levitation and shopping with her buds.\n\nNo one expected this to go a second season — hell, no one expected it to air a first season! — but Elijah Wood and Jason Gann somehow made it back for another truly weird and wonderful look at a man and his dog. This season Wood (who sees the dog as a human-size guy-in-a-rug, played by Gann) gets both a real job and an actual girlfriend, but his life isn’t complete — or a complete train wreck — without Gann teaching him the underlying meaning of it all. Or something like that. Frankly, we’ve never been able to figure this out, but we can’t deny that it is courageously and subversively damn funny.\n\nCuba Gooding Jr. hides his Oscar at night, lest it see him making silly-fun low-rent actioners like this with Emmanuelle Vaugier (nice work if you can get it!). Long a widow, she is surprised when FBI-guy Gooding shows up at her door and says, “I’m sorry, but your husband is dead!” So they hop a plane to Australia, right into the arms of some baddies who are ready to kill to keep the whole thing quiet. Really, really bad, but wonderfully so.\n\nA solid dramatic wrinkle to the stale, formulaic modern vampire movie: Irina the bloodsucker is dying. After a century of life as a reluctant predator, her body has reached its end, and her living hell will soon be painfully over. Her only “friends” — her motel manager/protector and a weary prostitute — seem to be in an even more decrepit state, rotting away from the inside in their own ways. Not exactly the feel-good romp of the year, but a welcome new adult take on a trivialized genre.\n\nIt’s the next-to-last season for USA Channel’s top-rated show, a wickedly entertaining homebound-former-spy romp starring Jeffery Donovan as the smart one (Michael), blistering Gabrielle Anwar as the pouty hot one (Fiona), Sharon Gless as Michael’s mom, and Bruce Campbell as his usual goofy self. The previous season saw the producers turning the show much darker, with Jere Burns as an uber-baddie who screws up whatever it is that Michael and Fi have going on by framing her for murder, a plot line that keeps this season simmering as well. A simple show, well written and acted by some of the best in the biz; with neat spy tricks, bikini babes and at least one good explosion per show. What more could you possibly want?\n\nCOME OUT AND PLAY\n\nThis low-rent American/Mexican thriller (a remake of 1976’s “Who Can Kill a Child?”) treads a bit into “Children of the Corn” territory but remains original and frightening. A young, just-pregnant married couple take one last “just us two” vacation to a remote island. But where are all the adults? “Oh!,” the kids say, “they’re still hungover from the big festival.” Uh huh. Eventually the terrible truth is discovered, leading to a horrible choice. Good stuff.\n\nA riveting drama from Chile about a powerful politician: ruthless and dominating, a fabulously wealthy man feared and/or respected by all, including his wife and family; but he feels unfulfilled except when with his much young male lover. Lately, however, he has become ashamed of their secret. They decide to take a trip to get away from the world, but alone together they are forced to face their lives and decisions anew.\n\nThose in the know know that this is Season 3 of the popular Pokemon-like card game/collectible/TV juggernaut from 2001. And here it takes a decided turn, leaving the established digital universe of the first seasons to follow a new group of gamers who uncover a never-before-suspected evil. The show’s producers — who long said that it was meant for a pre-teen audience, not “children” — began to push the envelope on anger and aggression within the competition, coupled with intersecting plotlines of romantic love. While this move cost them in parent-approval, it cemented their leadership in the genre; most gamers we know hail this as the best season of any game-based animated show, hands down. Now available in an eight-disc, 51-episode official collector’s set. Enjoy.\n\nTHE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF THE LIVING CORPSE\n\nThis R-rated animated hit from the San Diego Comic Con is a minor miracle. When an angel falls from grace and the world is about to be given over to evil, one of the undead decides to help him keep the other rotters in their graves, which might just save everything he once held dear. Some neat 3-D effects and clever voice work, but the CGI characterization is the real star. We liked it.\n\nNow available on Blu-ray, this infamous reenactment of the deeds of Charles Manson and “family,” famously rendered in unflinching detail by savage underground director Jim Van Bebber. It is grisly. It is bloody. It revels in historically accurate gore, drugs, sex, torture and sadism. So why would you want to watch this? Because it strips away the fantasy elements that entice so many disturbed people into committing such acts. Consider it “Scared Straight” for the would-be sadist. As with all Severin Blu-rays, the print is pristine, the soundtrack crackles, and the bonus materials are bountiful and entertaining. Not for everyone, but a history-making film finally given the treatment it deserved.\n\nSteve (Josh Lawson) agrees to secretly marry Russian would-be immigrant Anna (Isabel Lucas) in exchange for a wad of cash. But when his cracked family learns of the impending wedding, they go into nuptial overdrive, turning the secret little ceremony into the biggest wedding of the year. And then there the little matter of Steve’s one true love (Kestie Morassi) … A wild little chick-flick from Australia.\n\nIt’s a shame that this only lasted one season (10 episodes) — there was a lot to like here. Brian Austin Green, Peter Cambor, Derek Miller and Harold Perrineau are longtime buds who have a party band. It plays weddings, bar mitzvahs, reunions — anything with women, booze and a paycheck. And each gig is crazier than the last. Just ask their girlfriends! A nice balance of bad judgment, real world and horndog nostalgia that reminds us of our own post-HS guitar-band gigs. You’ll dig it.\n\nComedy Central’s resident lazy, dimwitted, beer-besotted, drug-fueled telemarketers are back with more unpredictable lowbrow shenanigans. Clearly inspired by “The Office,” a trio of slackers (Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine, Anders Holm) do a hyper-animated update on Cheech and Chong, making life miserable for their employer. It may sound juvenile but rises above its boring sitcom roots by sheer unpredictability and just a hint of true inspiration in each episode. The two best outings this season include acting as detectives to spy on a friend’s cheating spouse, and a particularly funny look at religion."

"SEVEN in 10 parents admit to feeling like \"failures\" in the early stages of their baby’s life – due to constant judgement from others.\n\nMums and dads typically notice a negative comment about their parenting four times a day, meaning there are more than 43 million judgements felt daily across the nation.",
null,
"The research of 2,000 parents also found same-sex parents were the ‘most judged’ group, receiving remarks eight times a day, DOUBLE the average.\n\nThe top judgement behaviours range from negative comments behind a parent’s back (52 per cent), to stolen stares (41 per cent) and whispers (40 per cent).\n\nAnd when it comes to why parents are judged – the list can seem endless – with the top spots taken by what they buy for their children (68 per cent), followed closely by who parents are as a person (64 per cent).\n\nThe research was commissioned by C&G baby club, which has worked with Love Island star Camilla Thurlow for its #LoveDontJudge campaign, a movement which looks to stamp out judgement and encourage more support for parents.",
null,
"The celebrity mum said: “For any parent, being on the receiving end of judgement over the way you choose to raise your child is difficult.\n\n“I now know from my own personal experience, how negative comments over even something simple such as how often Nell wakes during the night can leave me feeling hurt and worried.\n\n“I believe that, no matter where you come from or who you love, parents need respect and support.\n\n“By teaming up with C&G baby club and bringing judgmental statements to life, I hope we can raise awareness about this issue and switch up potentially hurtful judgements for real support.”",
null,
"The study also found more than half of all parents (56 per cent) experience judgement in their lifetime, with strangers in public places (41 per cent) the most likely source of unfair scrutiny.\n\nGrandparents, the wider family (both 29 per cent) and even close friends (24 per cent) have also made judgement, showing they can come from close to home.\n\nBut more than half of parents believe the pandemic has increased the level of judgement they receive on a day-to-day basis.\n\nJust four per cent of those polled via OnePoll manage to shrug off the criticism, whereas over a third feel less confident and sad as a result of receiving negative criticism.\n\nTop 10 parental feelings as a result of judgement\n\nTom Hickton, head of brand at C&G baby club added: “At C&G baby club, we know there’s no perfect blueprint to being a parent, and everyone just wants to do the best for their baby in their own way.\n\n“It’s the love you put into your parenting journey that really matters, rather than the specifics of the route you take.\n\n“With the #LoveDontJudge movement and our fight against parental judgement entering its second year, we know we have made a lasting impact, but our survey results show there is still work to do.\n\n“The findings have made us more eager than ever to stamp out judgement before it starts and we know we have the perfect partner in Camilla Thurlow to spread the message that parents need support, not judgement.”\n\nIn other parenting news, we told you how a mum has been slammed for spending £800 on Christmas gifts for her little girl.\n\nAnd a third mum has been branded \"completely unreasonable\" for sharing very demanding list of duties for nanny."

"Yosemite in a Raindrop",

"I’ve been to Valley View in Yosemite about a million times. For those not familiar with Yosemite Valley, Valley View (sometimes called Gates of the Valley) is the classic view of El Capitan, Cathedral Rocks, and Bridalveil Fall, with the Merced River in the foreground, that represents Yosemite in countless calendars, postcards, and advertisements. Though all this attention is justified, after a million visits and counting (okay, so maybe I’m exaggerating just a little), you’d think it would be easy to take Valley View’s beauty for granted. But I don’t get tired of visiting here, not ever.",

"Like most spots in Yosemite, the scene at Valley View varies greatly with the season and weather. In spring, Bridalveil Fall explodes from beneath Cathedral Rocks, and the surrounding forest is dotted with blooming dogwood. In autumn, rocks dot the Merced River, and colorful leaves mingle with glassy reflections. And on still winter mornings, a low mist hugs Bridalveil Meadow just across the river, while churning clouds surrounding El Capitan after a storm are a sight to behold. Nevertheless, I’m often content to keep my camera in the bag and just privately appreciate Valley View’s majesty.\n\nBut I’m a photographer, and sometimes it’s hard to experience this beauty passively. On those visits when I’m moved to photograph Valley View, I challenge myself to find something that hasn’t been done a million times. The final morning of last week’s Yosemite Moonbow and Wildflowers photo workshop was gray and damp, with occasional sprinkles lingering from a heavier overnight rain. We’d been here earlier in the workshop (in different conditions), and I hadn’t planned to photograph this time, but spotting raindrops clinging to the branches of the shrubs that line the river, I recognized a unique opportunity.\n\nIf you know optics, you know that a convex shape bends outward (so water striking its surface would run off; water striking a concave surface would pool inside). Due to this curvature, photons passing through a convex lens are diverted toward the center, where they converge and cross to create an inverted image at the point of convergence (focal point).\n\nIn fact, the human eye is a convex lens, projecting its inverted image onto the back its sphere, an image your brain promptly reverses. And photographic lenses are a complex arrangement of convex lens elements that ultimately project onto your camera’s sensor an upside-down image that’s flipped for display by the camera’s firmware.\n\nCompared to these two examples, a dangling raindrop is elegant simplicity. Bound by surface tension, water molecules naturally form a spherical shape that is flattened or stretched slightly by gravity. Because water molecules form an electrostatic bond with foreign surfaces as well, they also adhere to things like leaves and branches, sometimes appearing to defy gravity. This small gift from nature turns a raindrop into a natural convex lens. Courtesy of this natural lens, those who peer closely into a water drop will see an inverted microcosm of the surrounding world, a view that changes with the viewing angle.\n\nThere’s potential beauty inside every water drop, but on this morning at Valley View I was in the fortuitous position to photograph raindrops holding one of the most beautiful scenes on Earth. I found a quintet of raindrops lining a branch that had nothing behind it but river. Tiptoeing close, I aligned myself and the raindrops with the Valley View scene and extended my tripod to branch level. I started with my Sony 90mm on my Sony a7RIII, adding extension tubes to get even closer. After working with this combination for a few minutes, I switched to my Sony 100-400 GM (still with extension tubes).\n\nThe image you see here is from the 100-400. Depth of field with such a close focus point is paper thin, so I stopped down to f/20 and bumped I my ISO to 3200 to ensure a shutter speed fast enough to minimize the risk of motion blur. To focus, I magnified the raindrop scene in my mirrorless viewfinder. Exposing to avoid blowing out the bright highlights in the (inverted) sky also darkened the river, creating the ideal background.\n\nThe Many Views of Valley View",

"Vice Governor of West Sumatera: Agriculture is the Backbone of Economy Nationally\n\nAgricom.id, SOLOK – Being proven and showed the increasing exports in the pandemic, many now do agricultural sectors. Vice Governor of West Sumatera did appreciate what the central government has been doing to mitigate and anticipate the threat of food crisis.\n\nHe thought that not only in the national level that agriculture has become the cantilever of economy.\n\n“27 percent of regional gross domestic product in this province were from agriculture. It was the biggest of all sector here. 55 percent of the workers are in agriculture, including the plantations,” he said in his speech in Expose Inovasi Buah Tropika in Balai Buah Tropika, District of Solok, West Sumatera, Friday (9/4).\n\n“It means, we are able to reduce the import product dependence. This is good. We should consume the local fruit and vegetables,” he said, as in the official statement to Agricom.id.\n\nHe also thought that the province is in agriculture – base (in source of living).\n\n“Our backbone is agriculture, not manufacture. The economic recovery should be faster,” he said.\n\nFor information, based on the Central Bureau of Statistic, gross domestic product in agriculture in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 2,59 percent (y o y). while the exports escalated in January-December 2020 about Rp 451,8 billion, increased 15,79% compared to the same period in 2019 which reached Rp 390,2 billion.\n\n“Along the road when we got here, there are beautiful sightseeing. The sun shines brightly, the land is good. These are main capitals. The ethos of Minang people and Bugis is not different at all. We are hard workers,” he said. That is why the potential of the nature is the gift from the Almighty that we should optimize.\n\n“Do not waste your time. Plant every centimeter. If you could, plant paddy three times in a year. Do not let the time go for a waste,” he said. (A2)",

"The sound of drilling and hammering fills the air sporadically, as a mass of metal rises from the ground and various installments start to take shape. The site is being transformed into Moscow’s official Fan Fest zone – one of the focal points in the Russian capital for this summer’s FIFA World Cup.\n\nI checked out the FIFA Fan Fest zone in #Moscow to see how it's shaping up ahead of #Russia2018. Watch the clip for more info 👇📽️▶️ pic.twitter.com/XKyI5yLKxo\n\nSince they were introduced in 2006 in Germany, the Fan Fest areas have – quite literally – been a roaring success, and have become an integral part of the World Cup experience.\n\nThousands of fans congregate to watch all the World Cup action live on the giant screens at the venues, as well as enjoy a host of other entertainment such as music and cultural events.\n\nThe areas are free for all fans to enter, and gather a kaleidoscopic mix of supporters, both local and foreign. For those without match tickets, they are often seen as the next best way to take in all the World Cup action in a colorful, vibrant setting.\n\nIn the past three World Cups, an estimated 30 million fans have visited the zones, and the organizers are hoping Russia 2018 will add significantly to those numbers.\n\nIn the Russian capital, organizers have selected the stunning backdrop of the Moscow State University – one of the most distinctive elements of the Russian capital’s skyline – as the setting for fans to congregate during the tournament.\n\nAlthough the choice has been met with protest by some at the university, who see it as bringing disruption to the institution’s everyday life, especially during exam season, others see the site as ideal.\n\nThe site stands on top of a hill overlooking the Moscow River, on the opposite bank of which is Luzhniki Stadium – where the World Cup opening game and final will be played, among a total of seven matches.\n\nThe Fan Fest area is also just a short journey to the center of the city, which can be reached via the ‘Universitet’ Metro station, a 15-minute walk away.\n\nMoscow's FIFA Fan Fest zone is not far from Luzhniki Stadium, which will be at the heart of much of the World Cup action this summer © Dmitry Golubovich © Global Look Press\n\nElsewhere in Russia, other iconic Fan Fest locations have been selected for supporters to revel in the World Cup action.\n\nIn Sochi, 10,000 people will be able to gather at the city’s historic seaport, while the venue in Nizhny Novgorod will welcome 15,000 fans to Minin and Pozharsky Square at the heart of the city.\n\nIn St. Petersburg, fans will have the backdrop of the stunning cupolas of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, and supporters in Volgograd will be able to congregate near the shores of the Volga to take in the World Cup buzz.\n\n🇷🇺 An iconic location in every host city 😍 Check out some of the #FIFAFanFest sites for Russia 2018! 🙌 How much are you looking forward to it? Just 18 days to go! 🏆😁 pic.twitter.com/iCr25RqMaN\n\n“The FIFA Fan Fest will be the perfect opportunity for each of our host cities to show the world their unique culture and friendly hospitality,” said 2018 FIFA World Cup Local Organizing Committee chief Alexey Sorokin.\n\n“These venues will serve as informal and joyful meeting points, from where I am sure fans will take some of their best memories from the amazing event we will host in 2018.”\n\nAs the work continues across Russia to construct the Fan Fest zones ahead of kick-off on June 14, organizers know they are also building the stage for fans to celebrate, commiserate, and share every emotion in between."

"It was a bitter, brisk winter night and the city was laden with some of the most legendary Dj’s in the world. As an unforgiving wind battered the streets, the feverish temperament of metropolitan dance floors bestowed the most genuine warmth.\n\nNestled into the corner of 56th and 11th, thousands bore witness as Big Gigantic proved live instrumentation is a defined art, poised to draw a crowd no matter the circumstance.\n\nThis said, three sold out stories of Terminal 5 forever nixed the argument that edm’s favorite saxophone and live drum duo might be overexposed in the American market. As one of the more frequent and accessible performances in the states, Jeremy Salken and Dominic Lalli never fail to keep the crowd guessing. The most nostalgic moment of the evening was when they played their ‘I Need A Dollar’ remix, a track I last heard them play at the 2nd Hangout Festival back in 2010 before they had ever headlined a show.\n\nThe grassroots success story from Colorado focuses on three elements to justify the value of every ticket sold: An unrelenting work ethic, continuously evolving visual production, and a full catalogue of song selection. They toggled between old and new tunes ranging from ‘Rise and Shine’ to an encore with ‘The Uprising’ – paired with visuals of cats, lasers, and burning buildings, effectively blowing the minds of everyone in attendance.\n\nYea, everyone loved the cats and lasers. Things couldn’t have ended any better.\n\nManic Focus is in the midst of that “it’s happening” stage. Six months ago he was producing beats with a dream. As of today, John McCarten has toured with and played a massive sold out NYE show in Chicago with both Big Gigantic and Griz. To top things off, he was recently added to the Electric Forest lineup.\n\nA generally quiet and collected individual in person, MF’s alter ego rises to the occasion on stage. I’ve witnessed few artists with as much energy and passion behind the decks. He was having the time of his life and anyone who took a second from grooving out for a glimpse could tell. Whether it was during ‘Who Makes The Music’ or his ‘Harlem Shake’ remix, we all caught wind of the timeless intangibles that John possesses.\n\nThe scene would not have been proper without the respectively unique vibes of both Kill Paris and Manic Focus. As Kill Paris finished his set, the tension for Big Gigantic immensely culminated when both openers took the stage together to close out with one final track. The chemistry was unreal and I can only hope it leads to some kind of collaboration in the near future. 🙂\n\nOn a night where New York was flooded with the largest names in international dance music, I was admittedly skeptical on the experience Terminal 5 would offer. The combination of high energy electrosoul/ baby-making/ gritty bass Americanized dance music stood tall against the European giants and New York left me headed back to Richmond genuinely inspired in the future of the sounds which once brought me into this scene.\n\nIf you haven’t had a chance to catch Big G on Tour this Winter there is still time. Check out the remaining dates here.\n\nSpecial thanks to Joe McCarten for putting me in the best seat in the house and coordinating my press credentials. Also to Ashley Moore, Megan Solga, and Manic Focus himself for playing an integral role in our experience.\n\nBassjackers Team Up with Dyro on 'Grid', Out Now via Spinnin' Records",

"After the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and the rise of the Islamic Republic, a series of promised changes were assured to the people of Iran. In addition to a theocratic regime free from western influences, the revolutionary government offered mass redistribution of wealth among all its citizens.\n\nDetermined to rebuild Iran’s legacy and global standing, Iran enjoyed an economic boom and rapid infrastructure development under the Pahlavi dynasty. Oil revenues propelled economic growth, and while elites and the private sector prospered, the revolution claimed to speak for rural people and the poor, championing conservative values. The fall of the Shah had an immediate negative impact on growth. The economy fell further and stagnated during the 1980s due to the Iran-Iraq War and the collapse of oil prices.\n\nThe new Islamic Republic of Iran’s redistribution policies were intended to create a new socio-economic structure and empower the poor and underprivileged. Unfortunately, the outcome resulted in inflation, income inequality, unemployment, and increasing poverty. Numerous other exogenous shocks and international sanctions also accelerated the spread of poverty. I spoke with people in Iran about how they see their economic fortunes under the perception of poverty on the rise.\n\nIn the late 1990s, Iran’s economy was stable but still struggling in the aftermath of the Iran-Iraq war. Sanctions were not yet in place, and wages complemented living expenses since the currency was stronger. Mohammad Khatami, the elected president, focused on reform of select government systems that could better equip the country and the people. For example, he strove to change the international community’s perceptions of Iran, so that it could rebuild relations and augment foreign direct investment.\n\nI was told that once Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected president, all of Khatami’s changes were cast aside. Eager to be seen as a champion of the poor, he made a series of poor policy decisions, including eliminating the Management and Planning Organization (Iran’s version of the Congressional Budget Office), which resulted in foreign countries retracting their investments. He assumed this would benefit the economy, yet it caused more damage than good.\n\nAhmadinejad also implemented a welfare system (Yaraneye Ma’ishati). Rather than establish a plan to rebalance wealth in society, it promised 45,000 Tomans per person every month (about $2 today) to everyone, despite their income. When funds started to run out, the aid shifted to only those who were in the most desperate need. Now only one-third of the country receives any kind of economic aid. For example, a couple receives an additional 100,000 Tomans, totaling 190,000 Tomans per household every month (around $8 today). An additional amount is disbursed depending on the number of dependents in the same household.\n\nDue to the increase in living expenses and commodity prices, especially food, real wages for Iranians no longer reach a middle-class standard, pushing people into de facto poverty.\n\nThe downfall of this system is since sanctions were emplaced, all citizens face higher prices for goods, including food. The increase in prices renders food stamps insufficient. The overall cost of living has also increased immensely, making it impossible for many to make ends meet. An average Iranian makes about $150-300 a month, while an average middle-class individual makes about $400-700 a month. Due to the increase in living expenses and commodity prices, especially food, real wages for Iranians no longer reach a middle-class standard, pushing people into de facto poverty.\n\nFor example, today, a person who makes $146 per month (3,500,000 Tomans) pays $83 for a one-bedroom apartment per month, not including utilities. Therefore, two-thirds of their income goes directly to rent. Since Trump’s Maximum Pressure policy was implemented, there has been an increase in people falling below the poverty line. For instance, it is common to see children washing cars, teenage girls getting into prostitution, parents selling their newborn children, and people selling bodily organs near doctors’ offices and hospitals.\n\nThe Yaraneye Ma’ishati program was already sliding to economic irrelevance. But with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic shutdown, in July of 2020, the government offered a 1 million Toman (about $42) stipend to the families that are recipients of the welfare system. The catch, however, was that the sum would be taken out of their future monthly allotments until the residual amount was paid back. In this case, it was never really a relief package to stabilize incomes at all – it was a loan.\n\nSince the beginning of 2021, the government has failed to initiate any additional relief packages and people are now “paying off” the loan with reduced welfare. Meanwhile, thousands of Iranians, including beneficiaries of the program, have lost jobs and incomes due to the pandemic. A deadly third wave swept through the country just this past April. In short, Iranians, especially the poorest, are squeezed between paying back their government “aid”, higher commodity prices, and lost livelihoods.\n\nThis truly illustrates the dissonance in welfare and economic policy in Iran. The neediest families are in a double bind: they have been hit especially hard by the pandemic and are unlikely to get additional relief until the resolution of the June elections when Iran elects a new president. Meanwhile, sanctions make life nearly unbearable for many, and even though rising prices and stagnant wages are pushing more Iranians into de facto poverty, the line required to receive Yaraneye Ma’ishati has not been redrawn; meaning economic relief is still out of reach for those pushed out of the middle class.\n\nUnder these circumstances, the divide between the government and the people is becoming wider. Among those I spoke to, it was stated multiple times that building a stable future and career is close to impossible, especially for young people. Colleges aim to collect money rather than assist students in building skills. In addition, young adults rarely seek higher education due to a mass decrease in available jobs, the majority of which are low-skilled and do not require a diploma. It is all too common to find a graduate with a Ph.D. working at a market or restaurant. It was perceived that the young adult population has lost motivation to better their skills since they fear a stable future is “non-existent”, and reiterated that young adults are just surviving and not living. In this environment of instability, young people are also delaying starting families, which could have long-term impacts on Iran’s demography and productivity.\n\nSanctions have resulted in exhaustion within the population. Most people want changes to finally ease their hardships in livelihoods, incomes, and prices. Under these difficult living conditions, government programs have not delivered the help people need. I heard constantly that relief programs simply do not work to achieve a stable functioning lifestyle. The Islamic Republic promised a redistributed wealth amongst all class citizens, yet that is not what the result has been. The economic relief has been inadequate and unsuccessful.\n\nTo truly benefit its citizens, the government must focus on growth and work with the international community to invest and provide jobs for youth.\n\nThe sentiment imparted by my interlocutors on the ground was simply this: Iran should merely focus on the people within it. But this does not mean more welfare. To truly benefit its citizens, the government must focus on growth and work with the international community to invest and provide jobs for youth. In fact, cultural and educational diplomacy can help establish stronger relations with foreign countries and ultimately help stabilize the economy and diversify the skills and expertise in Iran. This could be a great start, but in the end, if officials care truly about their people’s suffering, they will impose no limits on building trust with the international community and restoring Iran’s position on the global economic stage.\n\nAudio\nEconomics and Globalization\nSoftwood Lumber Part 1: Lumber Sure Does Cost a Lott",

"Wayne Rooney and his Derby County players are now on a three-game losing run following the late goal conceded at Cardiff City earlier this week. Wayne Rooney took his players to face Welsh team Cardiff City in an English Championship clash with the aim of stopping a run of two successive defeats. In the end, the Manchester United legend could not prevent his team from suffering a third successive defeats via a 1-0 loss at the hands of the Bluebirds.",

"For Wayne Rooney and his players, there’s still a lot of work to do if they want to survive relegation in the English Championship this season. The slim defeat at Cardiff City ensured that the Rams are still eight points adrift of safety having played a game more. Reading are in the last safe position with 29 points from 34 Championship games, while Derby County have 21 points from 35 Championship games.\n\nThe current run of three straight defeats started on the back of the 1-0 win over fellow relegation battlers Peterborough United. In the next game, Derby County lost 2-1 at home to London team Millwallbefore the 1-0 away defeat at Luton Town took the losing run to two games. David Hylton came off the bench to score the winning goal for Luton Townmidway into the second half.\n\nDerby County can try to stop the current poor form when they take on relegation rivals Barnsley at home. Wayne Rooney needs a win from the game if he’s to take his team away from the Championship relegation zone."

"When my husband really decides to do something, he has a singular focus that only a few people in life can understand. I don’t. I’m slow and steady and persistent. He’s “cut the drivel” and do it now. Can be quite intimidating and abrasive for those who don’t get it. But once you recognize it as a signature style, it’s actually kind of fun to observe! Anyhow, he decided to learn Spanish about ten years ago. That meant if you even looked like you spoke Spanish, he would strike up a conversation with you in Spanish. He had a few fails, especially on people with Latino background who didn’t speak Spanish. (So much for not profiling…) He should have been embarrassed, but the thing is, he didn’t care! He was learning Spanish and wanted to practice whenever he could! Oh, but his wife and kids blushed. I mean, at the Mexican restaurant, people would be looking around for their food, and there would be my husband holding up their server with his Gringo Spanish. Eventually, though, we quit being embarrassed, decided to follow along, and now make friends at every Mexican restaurant we frequent.\n\nI myself started learning Spanish about thirteen years ago during my fourth year of medical school. Fourth year medical school is the best year of your life, as all you do is “fun” rotations that you pick out. Plus, you get travel time to go to interview at residencies. That was the year I asked a Spanish-speaking bank teller if she knew anyone who could help me learn Spanish. I was encountering dozens of patients who only spoke Spanish, and I wanted to bridge that gap a little but didn’t know any Spanish speakers with time to help me learn. She put me in place with a pastor who was teaching his congregation English, and my foot was in the door. I still remember driving to sketchy neighborhoods at night and eating cactus and menudo (tripe; beef stomach).\n\nThat’s briefly our Spanish story. Both my husband and I decided that our homeschooled kids needed to learn a foreign language, and Spanish made the most sense. In general, we are very practical people. Being practical, we also know that the best time to learn a language is as a kid. We had moved around and it took a bit of time to find a tutor because, and this is my personal opinion, there is a general distrust between cultures and perceived social classes. But we found a native Spanish speaker to come to our home and spend time with our young children speaking only in Spanish. (She and every single one of our tutors have been amazing people. Each different. But each amazing.)\n\nMy oldest has been learning Spanish for about eight years now, and we finally just enrolled her in formal on-line lessons. Up to this point, everything has been done in our home by native speaking Spanish tutors who have had no training in teaching. They were just people who spoke Spanish as a primary language. I’d like to share our homeschooling Spanish experience for others to read who may be embarking on this second language trek.\n\nWe have four daughters, the oldest started learning Spanish at five years old. My second daughter was about 3. My third and fourth daughters will have been exposed to Spanish since they were born. I’m not a linguist. I’m not a teacher. I don’t even speak Spanish fluently, probably not even English either, compared to many of you! This is just my story and experience. I’ll run it in several pieces as it gets long.\n\nDo you need a tutor who is a native speaker?\n\nUntil a few months ago, all of our Spanish tutors have been native speakers. This was a Spanish tutoring deal breaker for me. They had to be native speakers. Why? Well, our ability to hear language sounds and make our mouth, tongue, and palate reproduce them is strongest in infancy and childhood. As we age, this ability goes away, and any new language sounds that we encounter will be spoken by us with the closest sounds available to us from our own language. The later we learn the language, the greater the guarantee we will speak with an accent.\n\nFor example, I’ll never really be able to roll my r’s to say a word like rio; I’ll just consciously soften my r sound and add on some softened, repetitive d‘s (or t’s, both similar English sounds), like we do when we quickly speak the word batter. As an aside illustrating story, my American aunt married a native German when she was 20. She moved to Germany with him and has lived there exclusively over 50 years. She tells me that Germans still tell her it sounds like she’s speaking with mashed potatoes in her mouth. Accents stick, and sadly, even when I am choosing my Spanish words correctly, some Spanish-speakers simply can’t understand me.\n\nSo I demanded a native speaker so my girls would not have a strong accent. Now that my oldest is 13, her Spanish is reported to me to be little accented by native speakers (maybe even “non-accented,” according to some). We have made the leap to transition her to on-line teaching, and the man is not a native speaker. This no longer bothers me because her “Spanish voice” is now ingrained, she continues to hear native speakers routinely, and now she needs to focus on grammar and progressing in her use of verb tenses.\n\nFor me, I believed in immersing my children as early as I could and as frequently as I could so they could get the SOUNDS EMBEDDED in the neural pathways of their brain and the CONNECTIONS WIRED to their mouths. Grammar and writing was not important to me early on. That is becoming important now that my oldest is maturing in her Spanish language, and so we have chosen an on-line tutor now who is not native that I know is strong in grammar skills.\n\nFor the fact, science-minded people, here’s an excerpt from a neuroscience book that you can read pieces of on-line:\n\nVery young human infants can perceive and discriminate between differences in all human speech sounds, and are not innately biased towards the phonemes characteristic of any particular language. However, this universal appreciation does not persist. For example, adult Japanese speakers cannot reliably distinguish between the /r/ and /l/ sounds in English, presumably because this phonemic distinction is not present in Japanese. Nonetheless, 4-month-old Japanese infants can make this discrimination as reliably as 4-month-olds raised in English-speaking households (as indicated by increased suckling frequency or head turning in the presence of a novel stimulus). By 6 months of age, however, infants show preferences for phonemes in their native language over those in foreign languages, and by the end of their first year no longer respond to phonetic elements peculiar to non-native languages. The ability to perceive these phonemic contrasts evidently persists for several more years, as evidenced by the fact that children can learn to speak a second language without accent and with fluent grammar until about age 7 or 8. After this age, however, performance gradually declines no matter what the extent of practice or exposure.\n\nThat’s it for today. I’ll follow with the rest of the Spanish posts in readable bits. Everyone, take care!"

"John le Carré is the pseudonym of David Cornwell, a British spy novel author. A favorite of mine in fact. Le Carré really was a spy, although I´m not sure where and when he worked, he did work for Britain´s secret service, which gives a reality notch to his novels. Many of his books became movies afterwards, such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (great), The Constant Gardner (sucks), A Most Wanted Man (cool but not enough), among some others.\n\nJohn le Carré´s novels are very different from the usual action filled spy story we are used to. The novels are slow-paced, with almost no action at all in their majority. Well, his new books are more action filled, but are also the worst ones, so please disregard them. All of them also have a heavy and intricate writing style. Some excerpts reminded me of classic American literature I used to read in school. I know it sounds boring and excruciating, but it´s just not. Quite the opposite actually, they are smart, politically infused, controversial and very intriguing to read.\n\nLe Carré is able to deliver a very original espionage story, mixed with a real background that´s based in history and current world events, especially those that happen during the Cold War. I say this because, let´s face it, James Bond is not real, his enemies are not real and the explosions are very not real. Le Carré´s novels usually revolve around someone´s death, interpolated with a political issue, being solved or investigated by a British spy with a complex and deep personality.",
null,
"And of all his spies with complex and deep personalities, my favorite is George Smiley. Smiley works for the British intelligence service at the top echelons and knows his way around. He is very quiet, and extremely smart. When I say Smiley´s smart, I mean he can see the world in front of him evolving like a chess game, and he is a master player that can untangle any stratagem with its due patience. He is patriotic, sharp, loyal, unsociable, and in my view, not athletic at all. Smiley is not the spy you´re used to seeing in the movies, but rather one you come to admire and respect once you get to know him. Like a good old scotch, he´s an acquired taste.\n\nOf course my favorite novels are the ones which I get to see Smiley working. I would most recommend the Karla trilogy, a series of three books on which Smiley is “playing chess” with his Russian archrival Karla during the Cold War."

"How Westminster is Anti-Business",
null,
"Here's a bunch of tourists who have rented bikes for the day.\n\nI bet they thought they'd have a relaxing ride around and see the sights.\n\nInstead, they are wobbling along, stuck in traffic with taxis, buses, HGVs, vans and cars. In short, the typical crap experience that Londoners know and avoid.\n\nThe streets of London should be an asset, enabling people to get around and enjoy the experience. Instead, they are a liability. Far too many people in taxis and private cars clogging up the roads and ruining the experience for everyone. And it's not just the main routes like the Strand (above); Westminster's stubborn insistence that motor vehicles dominate almost every single street in central London is costing the capital dear, by presenting visitors and residents alike with a grim and uninviting street scene that is hardly the welcome that businesses dependent on tourism want.\nat 4:59 AM 2 comments:\n\nThe BBC uncritically re-reports PWC's assessment that \"Shale oil production could boost the world economy by up to $2.7tn (£1.7tn) by 2035\".\n\nUnfortunately, sucking more oil and gas out of the ground and burning it has some well-documented negative consequences for the world economy, in the form of climate change.\n\nConsider that Hurricane Sandy is estimated to have resulted in $75bn worth of property damage. And that is without considering the human cost.\n\nIf we don't throttle back our fossil-fuel use, we can look forward to many more Sandys. That, by the way, is fact, unless you are of the philosophical position that facts don't actually exist. No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of the main conclusions of the IPCC on global warming. The relatives of the 285 people who lost their lives in Sandy would be able to sue someone if their deaths were a result of recklessness or negligence, but because the effects of burning fossil fuels are completely externalized, they can't. Our grandchildren won't be able to sue the shale oil industry or anyone else for the state in which they leave the planet.\n\nSandy was just one extreme weather event in one country in one year. In 2012, we can also count, among many others, droughts in the US, record temperatures leading to bush fires in Australia, a super-typhoon in Indonesia that killed over 1000 people and destroyed or damaged over 200,000 homes, and the wettest year in England on record. While we can't attribute every extreme weather event to climate change, a rising number of these events is exactly what the science predicts.\n\nThe serious danger is that shale oil, far from boosting the economy, will actually deal it a serious blow once the effects of an increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events attributable to climate change is factored in.\nat 1:27 AM No comments:\n\nBike North Birmingham is one of the schemes funded by the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF).\n\nYou may remember that one of the Coalition's first 'achievements' was to get rid of all the various different pots of money that local authorities had to compete for, and merge all the money for transport schemes that didn't involve promoting private car use into one fund.\n\nThis blog pointed out at the time the LSTF was announced its obvious flaws. You can dress pretty much any scheme up as 'sustainable', and most local authorities simply don't understand or care about cycling. Local councillors get elected on issues like parking and dogsh*t. Cycling doesn't even register on their radar, politically speaking, for the most part. So the idea that you could leave councils to choose how much money to spend on cycling could only have one outcome - less money spent on cycling. Couldn't it?\n\n\nWe've previously taken a look at the Slough LSTF scheme, and that pretty much proves the point. Virtually no spending on cycle infrastructure, and no new high-quality routes created. Instead, it included SCOOT traffic signals, which I described as follows:\n\n\"The only purpose of SCOOT is to push more motor traffic through junctions, so how that counts as 'sustainable' I don't know. We know from experience that if you increase capacity for motor vehicles, more motor vehicle journeys will result, as sure as night follows day.\"\n\nHowever, Slough was a mixed scheme, not a cycling scheme. So let's take a look at 'Bike North Birmingham'. The clue is in the name - it is entirely about cycling. But of course that doesn't mean bike use in the Brum is going to skyrocket - it all depends if they take on board the lessons that our Continental cousins have learned i.e. you need subjectively safe routes where cyclists are not expected to duel with significant volumes of high-speed traffic.\n\nYou can take a look at the plans here. The scheme consists of 9 routes, partly off road through parks, but partly on-road. They're colour coded, by someone who clearly like purple, because there are violet, purple and magenta routes alongside more prosaic shades.\n\nLet's look at the Violet Route, which is described as follows:\n• 5 kms long connecting Walmley Village to Chester Road\n• Link passes Wylde Green Rail Station\n• Local links to Bishop Walsh Catholic School and Walmley Village\n• Link will be both on and off-road, on road sections are to be advisory through residential streets\n• A Toucan crossing upgrade at the junction of Chester Road/Church Road\n\nNote the phrase I've italicised: on road sections are to be advisory through residential streets. Unless I miss my guess, that sounds like there won't be any segregation, and there's nothing to suggest that there will be any traffic reduction, mandatory lanes, moving of parking bays, traffic calming, filtered permeability, 20MPH limits, or anything at all to make the streets more cycle-friendly than they are today.\n\n\nAbove you can see two sections of the route near Wylde Green Station: Sycamore Road and Sunnybank Road. Looks pleasant enough, doesn't it? You'll notice the cars park on the pavement: that's usually because there's significant traffic moving at significant speed, and people get their cars scraped when speeding drivers try to get through narrow gaps. Between the two locations pictured above, there are two half-kilometre sections along Church Road and New Church Road, which are dead straight and have no traffic calming. Still liking it? Now, it could be that the drivers of North Birmingham are all considerate of cyclists, don't use roads like these as rat-runs, are never in a hurry, and don't use mobile phones. Somehow, I doubt that, not because I have a low opinion of the residents of the second city, but because there's no reason to expect they are any different to people anywhere else in the UK.\n\nNow, you need to ask yourself a question. If roads like this can be made into cycle routes as if by magic, without actually doing anything about the hazards, why do only a miserable 0.9% of Brummies get to work by bike currently? To get a figure that low in a major conurbation takes real dedication.\n\n\nBike North Birmingham is a well-intentioned attempt to get more people on bikes. It isn't a cash-grab like Slough's that dresses up a car-centric scheme as 'green' to get 'sustainable' funding. Yet it still doesn't appear to hit the mark. That is because local authorities simply aren't empowered to do cycling schemes that actually work. We need schemes like this to be built up to a standard. Routes need to be continuous with a minimum level of subjective safety, and that must mean some restrictions on car use are necessary if we're going to have on-road routes. But because councils today are free to do what they like, usually guided by engineers who, according to Mike Wilson from the Highway Agency \"haven't been trained to focus on cyclists and pedestrians\" , we end up with relatively expensive schemes (£6M in this case) that will produce very little, once the Bike-It officers have left and the publicity has been forgotten. Sure, a few people will start cycling, and a good few of these will experience a close pass or two and put their bike back in the shed for good. I doubt we'll see many 8-year olds cycling to school however, except on the pavements - if they can squeeze past the cars parked on them, that is.\n\nI would love to be proved wrong on this, I really would, and I invite anyone who knows this area well to call 'bullsh*t' on my analysis. But I've seen too many schemes that look a lot like this one all over the country, all based on good intentions, and not worth a hill o' beans.\nat 3:52 AM 1 comment:"

"With Africa’s premier continental competition upon us, Sami Faizullah has a look at 5 young players (aged 22 and below during the start of the tournament) that could make an impact.",
null,
"Often described as the hotbed of footballing talent, the AFCON represents an opportunity for the world to cast their views on the footballing talents of the vast African continent. Though plenty of the participants venture into Europe fairly early, many escape the popular views despite playing in some of the more established leagues. The African Cup of Nations provides a platform to see the beauty the continent has to present.\n\nThe following five young players stand-out among the 16 participating nations who could make an impact in Equatorial Guinea. Talent Radar will certainly be keeping a keen eye, and you should to!\n\nWho? The Ghanain has been impressing viewers in the Bundesliga with the leagues surprise package, FC Augsburg, showcasing professionalism and intelligence in his role at left-back. He was a part of our Talent Radar 100 Young Players to Watch in 2015.\n\nWhy? With a possible 3-5-2 formation expected to be displayed by Avram Grant’s Ghana, the onus is firmly on the full-backs to ensure the success of the approach. Baba will be deployed on the left side with the expected formation maximising the 20-year-old’s ability as he looks to constantly switch between attacking and defensive phases. His runs down the flank mirror that of a winger, with quality crossing to go with it, but his willingness to commit into tackles (sometimes over-commit), allow him to function as a vital cog in the system.\n\nExpectation (Team): The decision to appoint Avram Grant weeks before the tournament was met with understandable surprise. The Israeli hasn’t been in active coaching for nearly three years with his only national team job being back home some 9 years ago. With a difficult group and a mind-boggling coaching decision by the board, the Black Stars may well disappoint at the AFCON.\n\nWho? Part of Anderlecht’s youthful and successful side, Mbemba is one of the 6 Belgium based players in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s AFCON side, and arguably one of the best defenders in the whole tournament. He was a part of our Talent Radar 100 Young Players to Watch in 2015 (and the 2014 list as well).\n\nWhy? A solid body structure to boast with his contribution to the attacking side as well, Mbemba is the definition of a ‘beast of a defender’. While not the most tactically intelligent, he more than makes up for it with spectacular tackles and last ditch challenges. He can shackle a forward and dampen his game, but he may struggle slightly to smartly mark; again, not something that necessarily holds him back. But the biggest stand-out point of Mbemba is his ability going forward, while he’s a genuine threat in the air and with the use of his strength, he is remarkably composed on the ball, keeping up with the modern times of a ball-playing defender.\n\nExpectation (Team): Though DR Congo aren’t one of the stronger African footballing nations, the groups set are such which makes qualification to the next round a reachable target. With Group A (along with Group B) also lacking a solid favourite, DR Congo might just prove to be the surprise package of the AFCON.\n\nWho? Having come through from the Samuel Eto’o Football Academy in Cameroon, and continued his development at the famed La Masia academy in Barcelona, there are very few scenarios that could have been better for a players’ footballing education than the one experienced by Ondoa.\n\nWhy? The goalkeeping position has been a bit of a struggle for Cameroon, which ultimately led German coach Volker Finke to give then 18-year-old Fabrice Ondoa, an opportunity. The teenager didn’t disappoint after debuting against Ivory Coast in a 4-1 win at the qualifiers for this tournament. The Barcelona B man is now full of confidence, with his manager’s backing, as he leads the traditional powerhouses of African football as the first choice keeper. Having learnt from arguably the world’s best coaches and systems, the World is eagerly awaiting to see just what the academy has produced.\n\nExpectation (Team): A side struggling to regain the highs they’ve experienced in the past, with only a slight crawl being displayed in recent times back to that summit, expectations are high for the four time African champions despite a tricky group to navigate. Though progression from the group stage was usually a given, this time it might be a bit surprising but it would be the bare minimum expected.\n\nWho? Having opted to represent the country of his parents as opposed to that of his birth (France) a few months back, Bentaleb has seen his domestic and international career grow. With opportunities at Spurs aplenty, international recognition is at it’s peak having appeared at the World Cup as well.\n\nWhy? The 20-year-old represents an upcoming breed of the Algerian diaspora, setting the country apart from much of Africa. Given his roots, Nabil Bentaleb has developed within a European football upbringing, and this displays in his football. A more tactical intelligence often lost in young African midfielders is ever-present in the Spurs youngster. With his neat and tidy on the ball control further assisting his overall footballing ability. It’s this European intelligence that’ll help Bentaleb reach new highs at the African Cup of Nations, with the pressure something to be dealt with it.\n\nExpectation (Team): Facing some stiff challenge in a competitive group, Algeria won’t have it easy. But having been the most impressive African side and a rare opposition that actually looked capable of getting one over eventual champions Germany at the World Cup, anything less than a last four berth will be a bitter disappointment. With their only African triumph going back 25 years, we may well see a desire from the North African nation to emerge victorious.\n\nWho? Having been one of Ligue 1’s most prolific strikers in his last season in France, Aboubakar developed a solid reputation which attracted the interests of FC Porto. But the Cameroonian hasn’t lived up to similar expectation, his weaknesses exposed but a stronger belief in getting it right at Africa’s biggest stage.\n\nWhy? Even when Aboubakar was in form with Lorient in France, there were some who didn’t cave into his hype, with their opinion proving to hold true in hindsight. But the 22-year-old still has a large part of his career ahead of him, a chance to prove his doubters (particularly in Portugal) wrong and an opportunity once again to showcase the endearing combination of power, pace and strength. Aboubakar can best be described as a raw goal-scorer, and Finke’s Cameroon will need plenty of it if they are to meet their objectives.\n\nExpectation (Team): A side struggling to regain the highs they’ve experienced in the past, with only a slight crawl being displayed in recent times back to that summit, expectations are high for the four time African champions despite a tricky group to navigate. Though progression from the group stage was usually a given, this time it might be a bit surprising but it would be the bare minimum expected.",

"Although it was announced last September, the new Apple Watch was just released. The Apple Watch introduced us to gadget beams messages, simplified apps to our wrists and Facebook updates. Thus eliminating the constant need to take out the device in order to check notifications. There are numerous ways people can interact with their brand new Apple Watch. They can do that by receiving glanceable notifications, they can feel “taptic” feedback and more.\n\nThis intelligent watch contributes most of its features to the health. It is designed for everyday use. People can use the watch while running, cycling, and walking, you name it. Its sensors and nutrition apps will help you stay healthy and improve your health in many different fields. So what does set this smart watch apart from the rest? The Apple Watch takes things one step further and gives you the pleasure of using all the benefits from its custom heart rate monitor that can compete with the best world’s running technology.\n\nThe Apple Watch has two separate fitness applications installed. Each application is designed to track different elements. The first app is called the Activity app. The app provides users an overview of their entire day with three “rings”. Those “rings” represent burned calories, how often you took a break and what exercises you have completed.\n\nThe second App is used to display real-time statistics such as the traveled distance, burned calories, time spent exercising and your pace during the exercises. This app encourages people to set goals for themselves, and finally to beat those goals. Over time, the app will suggest some new fitness goals, and it will start behaving as a personal trainer, but in a digital form.\n\nAs it was long expected, the Apple Watch has integrated Siri. That means that people will be able to ask Siri to perform tasks and to act as a personal assistant, but only in a digital form. Siri can send messages, get directions or to look up information. Quite impressive. To activate Siri all you have to do is hold down the Digital Crown or to raise a wrist and use the command “Hey Siri”.\n\nDesign And Other Features\n\nThis intelligent watch has a built-in microphone and a speaker, which allows it to make and receive phone calls. It is water and dust resistant, but it should not be worn while swimming. It can resist water while washing hands, showering or sweating, but it is advisable not to emerge it under the water. The Watch has a custom designed S1 processor chip. That processor integrates a few subsystems into one single module. The watch houses an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a heart rate sensor. It is designed to be fashionable and functional at the same time. It can be found in two sizes /38 mm and 42 mm) with rounded, rectangular body. It has six different casing materials and bounds that go with it. It is organized into three collections, Watch Sports collection, stainless steel Watch collections, and the Gold Watch edition.\n\nThe device itself has only two buttons, the Digital Crown, which controls several options and the Friends button that is used to bring up contact list.\n\nThe Apple Watch is designed to be incredibly accurate. The watch adjusts the time based on the global time standard. The focus of the company on time has led the company to develop a variety of watch faces. You will be able to choose standard analog clock, digital, a Mickey Mouse watch, and even some galaxy themes, such as a solar system or moon phases.\n\nThe battery will last solid 18 hours, and the watch can easily switch to power reserve mode when the battery runs low. It can be charged up to 80% in an hour and a half and will need an additional hour to reach 100%.\n\nThe Apple Watch is without a doubt one of the best if not the best smart watch available on the market. It is directed towards health mostly, and the users will benefit from that feature the most. It has been announced a few months back, and finally released. It has a bright future in front of itself. The intelligent watch has set some pretty high standards, and the question is, what follows next? What will the competition have to offer that will blow our minds away? We’ll just have to wait and see.\n\nThe Next Phase of Tracking Health, Happiness and Fitness\n\nLet Your Muscles Do The Talking: Myo Armband Released",

"However, since the Chinese adopted these peas into their cuisine they have become more widely known as snow peas. Snow peas need soil that is rich in phosphorus and potassium. If your soil is somewhat acidic, add wood ashes or ground limestone. Otherwise, add a fertilizer high in phosphate and potash. Snow peas perform best in soil with plenty of organic matter, which makes the soil moisture-retentive. Select a site in full sun and rotate peas annually to avoid blights and root rot. All snow peas need some sort of trellising, even the dwarf varieties. Be sure to put your trellising system in place when you sow the seeds to avoid disturbing the tender roots later. Keep snow peas well watered during dry spells and cultivate lightly between the rows to remove weeds. Don’t cultivate too near the peas, however, because their roots are extremely vulnerable. As soon as the peas have finished bearing, turn them under rather than pulling them. This provides nitrogen to other crops."

"How To Deal When People Disappoint You\n\nPlay Higher Resolution\nPlay Lower Resolution\nFeeling depressed after people you love disappoint you, can happen. After hitting rock-bottom, Daniel, a student, wants to know how he can have a happy life.\nTranscript\n\nBrother Donald: When was the last time you felt truly happy? What were you involved in, who was with you if in fact somebody was with you? And how long did that feeling of elation last? Today, I’m talking to Daniel. He’s a young student and athlete who resides here in Toronto, Canada. And for as long as he can remember he’s never felt truly content or truly happy. In fact, he questions whether what he really experienced was happiness. All because of the disappointments that would follow immediately. These days, happiness is something that everyone strives to obtain, considering how complex life is.\n\nBrother Donald: Self-help is an $11 billion industry in North America alone. And among its popular topics is the pursuit of happiness.\n\nThe self-improvement market in the U.S. is worth an estimated $11 billion.\n\nBrother Donald: The very same pursuit that Daniel’s been concerned about for so many years of his young life. He’s here to talk about his search and the struggles that he encountered as he chased after happiness. So, join us in our conversation and let’s look for The Solution together.\n\nBrother Donald: Welcome to the program. Can you tell the viewers a little about yourself?\n\nDaniel: My name is Daniel Bardoo. I currently go to high school at Winston Churchill. I was born in Canada, but my mom is from Saint Vincent and my dad is from Trinidad.\n\nBrother Donald: From Saint Vincent, so your parents are from the Caribbean islands?\n\nDaniel: Not anymore. I finished my bible studies. I am now waiting for baptism.\n\nBrother Donald: Well congratulations. And God be willing in a few months now you’ll become a bonafide baptised member of the Church. So, what brings you to the program today?\n\nDaniel: I wanted to know; how do I find true happiness? What I mean by that is, I always experience happiness, like throughout my life. I’ve always experienced that. But its always been taken away or its been just ruined by something. And it’s never lasting.\n\nBrother Donald: When it comes to your mom and your dad, are they still together?\n\nBrother Donald: No. But your moms been there to look after you?\n\nDaniel: Oh yea, my mom has always been there.\n\nBrother Donald: You have siblings, you have brothers and sisters?\n\nDaniel: I have six siblings.\n\nDaniel: My older ones are by themselves right now. And then I live with the younger ones.\n\nBrother Donald: I see. And your mom is looking after you, taking care of you?\n\nBrother Donald: When it comes to your mom, how is she coping [with] being a single parent?\n\nDaniel: It’s tough for her. But she’s been doing it for so many years. But I still feel bad. Because she doesn’t have that helping hand that she needs to take care of all of us. I feel like I owe it to her because of all the sacrifices she made for me and my siblings growing up. She met this man and he was like a father-figure to me, because me growing up, I didn’t have that father-figure.\n\nBrother Donald: How old were you when he came into the life of your mother?\n\nDaniel: I want to say like thirteen, fourteen. And at first, I didn’t like him because before him there was another man. Who also disappointed me. He came into our lives and said that he would make things better, and then ended up leaving. But he proved me wrong for a while and he stayed. And I finally looked and saw him as my dad. And then he left.\n\nBrother Donald: You probably felt so down at that time in your life.\n\nBrother Donald: Because not only did he fail your expectations, but most especially the expectations of your mother.\n\nBrother Donald: So perhaps it’s not just you, it’s also your mother who may have gone through those feelings of being happy. But then sadly, replaced too soon when it comes to disappointment.\n\nDaniel: Well one of the more recent ones I met someone, and we connected right then and there. I really cared for that person, and she really cared for me. We would always be there for each other. And all of a sudden, you know she just disappears. When I needed her most.\n\nBrother Donald: Well nothing new when it comes to other people, even servants of God. Because we can read here in Job 3, and the verses are 24 to 26:\n\nFor sighing has become my daily food;\nmy groans pour out like water.\nWhat I feared has come upon me;\nwhat I dreaded has happened to me.\nI have no peace, no quietness;\nI have no rest, but only turmoil.”\n\nBrother Donald: Perhaps this is what you felt when what you believed was a solid a good relationship with your friend all of a sudden just disappear.\n\nDaniel: I was going through some tough times. I was going through some depression. I decided to, I guess isolate myself. Because I figured if I did that, I couldn’t be disappointed anymore. But that only made things worse. And then I became suicidal. I’ve thought [that] if I just ended it then, right then and there, that I wouldn’t experience that kind of disappointment ever again. I could just end the pain.\n\nBrother Donald: Perhaps out of a drastic thought, you thought of just ending it so that would be the end.\n\nBrother Donald: Well as you grow up even more Daniel, you’ll understand that people usually disappoint another person eventually. There is something about life that we need to understand, first and foremost. And what is it? We will read here in the Book of Job, the chapter is 8 and the verses are 13 to 15:\n\nSuch is the destiny of all who forget God;\nso perishes the hope of the godless.\nWhat they trust in is fragile;\nwhat they rely on is a spider’s web.\nThey lean on the web, but it gives way;\nthey cling to it, but it does not hold.\n\nBrother Donald: As we make our way through life all the more we should rely and trust in our Father in heaven, and not upon our fellow man. They may offer help unto us. They may be able to assist us for some time. But just like you experienced, the time may come they are unable to do so. And usually it is because they have to now face their own predicament. Their own situation, so they prioritize. And sometimes, sadly, it means to say that a relationship with another person it suffers. But with the Almighty God, He is always there.\n\nBrother Donald: And that is why we should place our hope and trust in Him. And most especially when it comes to His promises.\n\nDaniel: So, if I ever get disappointed again. Or if reach those low points that I have in the past, what can I do?\n\nBrother Donald: That’s a good question Daniel. Let’s allow the Bible to give us the solution to that situation. We can read the following from the book of Psalms. Let’s read chapter 42 and the verse is 5:\n\nWhy am I so sad?\nWhy am I so troubled?\nI will put my hope in God,\nand once again I will praise him,\nmy savior and my God.\n\nBrother Donald: Just like this servant who came to a point where he was downtrodden. He was disappointed, but then he reminded himself. I will put my hope in God and once again I will praise Him my Savior and my God. When it comes to praising God, that is usually done when it comes to worshiping Him. So, this is the reason why the worship service for the members of the Church of Christ is so important Daniel. It is where we gain that strength and also the solutions to our problems. And also, God has plans for us. And we can read that in Jeremiah 29, and the verses are 11 to 12:\n\nI alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.\n\nBrother Donald: We should place our hope and trust in God. So in order for us to know the plans that God has for us, what is an integral part of being a servant of his? Prayer.\n\nBrother Donald: That’s why God says you will call to me. You will come and pray to me. And I will answer you. May God hear and answer your prayers Daniel. Especially after going through so many disappointments and hardships in your young life.\n\nDaniel: Thank you for having me Brother Donald. I’m sure that what I’ve learned today will help me in the future.\n\nBrother Donald: And I am sure it will help because what we studied are the words of God written in the Bible. It is a pleasure having you on the program Daniel. God bless, we wish you the best for the future. Thanks for joining our conversation today on The Solution. I’m Brother Donald Pinnock and we hope to see you next time.",

"Justin Fuente on the season: ‘If we want to accomplish this, the onus is on us’",
null,
"BLACKSBURG, Va. — Coaches are creatures of habit, and Justin Fuente, who’s modeled his year-round schedules off his time as an assistant a decade ago at TCU, is no different. But COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into everyone’s plans, adding a level of caution and detail that people normally wouldn’t ever think about.\n\nSo the Hokies have done studies of past practices to see who’s in close contact with other players the most. Everyone wears a gaiter or face shield at practice, doing as much work outside so they don’t have to be masked up all the time. Tech’s changed the way it stretches or even lines up for drills or on the sidelines, with spacers placed between players to create separation. Some drills have been structured differently to minimize the risk of contact. Every way of doing things is under the microscope.\n\n“You usually know exactly what you are going to do, where you are going to be and how it’s all going to work,” Fuente told reporters on a Zoom call Friday, shortly before the Hokies took the field for their first workout of what’s officially August camp. “It’s been an added Rubik’s Cube.”\n\nThus is life in 2020, though, which is far from normal and might be for the foreseeable future. And, though Fuente and Virginia Tech feel like they’re taking the proper precautions, they realize it doesn’t guarantee anything going forward, certainly once the student population returns to Blacksburg, with inevitable intermingling with athletes.\n\n“It’s kind of an odd dynamic,” Fuente said. “We have talked at length that if we want to play we have to understand we can’t do things the way we have always done. That’s the bottom line. If we want to accomplish this, the onus is on us. We have some control over it, we don’t have total control over it, but we need to focus on what we can control and do the best we can.\n\nFuente’s comments come less than a week after Virginia Tech had a fairly prominent opt out in cornerback Caleb Farley, who raised concerns about some of the Hokies’ protocols, including that players had made a trip to Myrtle Beach and returned without being tested. Chief medical officer Dr. Mark Rogers said Wednesday that leaving town wouldn’t automatically require a test upon return, though those players would be closely monitored. Fuente said he was aware if players had made a Myrtle Beach trip.\n\n“We’ve been trying to educate them about how serious this is,” he said. “Caleb, I think, his decision was a personal decision, a personal feeling. I can’t really speak to what he was talking about. When I read it, that was the first I knew about what he was saying. We have kids from all over the country that were home. I couldn’t even take roll in our weight room the first couple weeks we were here, so I don’t know who was in the weight room and who was in Myrtle Beach either.”\n\nThe focus Friday was on moving forward with a safe and productive camp — equally challenging goals.\n\nThe safety side’s leaning heavily on the advice of medical experts and science. That included a closer look at the kind of contact time players had in an average two-hour practice, results that Fuente said shocked him. Close contact is of course unavoidable in the trenches, but it was minuscule for some positions like wide receivers and defensive backs. From that, Tech aims to adjust what it can control.\n\n“I think everybody thinks, me included, that football’s just played in a big pile,” Fuente said, “and it wasn’t like that.”\n\nThere’s also a social aspect of reconvening the group, trying to foster a team identity and feeling of togetherness, particularly for new arrivals, while making requests to keep a safe distance. (“It’s totally contradictory to everything we talk about,” Fuente said.) Early returns from the walk-throughs the team has been able to do in the last few weeks have been positive, though.\n\n“I would say that we should not underestimate the stress and anxiety that our young people are going through in this,” Fuente said. “I’m not talking about football. I’m just talking about in general. … I do sense a large feeling of uncertainty and anxiety. And what I haven’t seen is them carry that onto the field. Now we’ve just been through walk-throughs, so we haven’t really practiced, but I do feel that there is some excitement to do something else. You know? To take your mind off of some of the things that are very serious that we’re all dealing with.”\n\nFuente realizes he’ll have to be flexible. In fact, he called that paramount, noting that it’s possible the schedule could change, possibly even midweek with regards to an opponent in an extreme scenario. There’s an air of uncertainty around everything as camp begins.\n\n“I think we’re all filled with uncertainty in understanding what we’re dealing with and how to best protect our players,” Fuente said. “It’s something that we talk about on a daily, hourly basis. You see what’s gone off around the country, I mean, there are people that are managing to do it. And we’ve been given our parameters from the medical people and we’ve been given the go-ahead by the powers that be, the presidents of the ACC, to begin. We’re going to do it in the safest way humanly possible.”\n\nHere are some other notes from Fuente’s first press conference of August:\n\n1. Defensive end TyJuan Garbutt is not with the team right now due to a family matter.\n\nThe redshirt junior defensive end is at home right now tending to a “fairly serious deal in his family,” said Fuente, who made it clear that Garbutt’s absence is not related to COVID-19 or discipline.\n\nFuente said it’s unclear when Garbutt will play football this season. He remains on scholarship and will be a student this fall, however.\n\nA possible starter who has among the highest ceilings of the team’s pass-rushers, Garbutt battled a shoulder injury that kept him out of a few games early last year but still finished with 31 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss and a sack.\n\nThe offseason addition of Youngstown State transfer Justus Reed helps the Hokies’ situation. He’s likely on the first team along with Emmanuel Belmar. It’s unclear if this changes Tech’s plans further down the line for its freshmen ends, who would benefit from a redshirt.\n\n“My experience with (Reed) is he’s a mature adult,” Fuente said. “He’s excited to be a part of this football team. We’ve got some young guys playing that position that I think can learn from him and guys like Emmanuel Belmar. I think that’s got a chance to be a pretty neat mentoring relationship.”\n\n2. Cole Beck will run track full time, plus some other roster odds and ends.\n\nThe least surprising news Friday was that Beck, a running back from Blacksburg, will dedicate his time to running with the track team full time. Beck redshirted his first year and missed last year after breaking his collarbone in August. An All-ACC sprinter, he’s participated in two indoor track seasons and one outdoor, with this past spring’s outdoor season being canceled.\n\n“He’s got some very lofty goal in regards to his track career and that’s going to be his focus moving forward,” Fuente said.\n\n“You all know we’ve been through this before. You know how that goes,” Fuente said. “I hope that by next week we’ll know something. He’s been fantastic. Great student, great athlete. I think he’s got a chance to be a really, really productive player. Can do about anything.”\n\n3. The Hokies are No. 24 in the preseason coaches poll.\n\nVirginia Tech is one of four ACC teams in the poll, joining No. 1 Clemson, No. 10 Notre Dame and No. 19 North Carolina. The Hokies climbed up into the polls last year before dropping out after the Virginia loss.\n\nTech also now knows the dates of all its games, which were released Thursday morning. The schedule features an opener at home against NC State on Sept. 12, the clash for the Commonwealth Cup against Virginia in Lane Stadium the following week, Liberty as a nonconference opponent and a regular-season finale at home against Clemson on Dec. 5.\n\nHere's Virginia Tech's 2020 schedule, just released by the ACC. #Hokies-UVa will meet in Week 2, the first September matchup in the series since 1987.\n\nVT opens with NC State (welcome back Charley Wiles) and closes with Clemson, a heck of a way to cap off the regular season. pic.twitter.com/X2b0BV6Ymw\n\nFuente’s thoughts on the schedule?\n\n“I’m mostly just grateful to have one, to be honest with you,” he said.\n\n4. The quarterback competition will have to be condensed.\n\nThe Hokies didn’t have a spring, when they’ve traditionally opened things up at quarterback and allowed everyone to get reps. That’ll all be crammed into August now, with presumed front-runner Hendon Hooker competing with Braxton Burmeister and Quincy Patterson.\n\n“We have got guys with really unique dynamics skill sets. There are a lot of ways to play with that, I guess,” Fuente said. “We missed that opportunity. We will let those guys go compete and give them opportunities to get out there and show what they can do, but I don’t think we have a lot of monkeying around time. I think we need to get up and running and get rolling and get those guys reps and as the thing goes on we’ll have to move — I don’t want to say relatively quickly — but we will have to be judicious how we move forward week by week heading into the first game.”\n\nFuente has historically announced a starter in the middle or latter half of August, though with a Sept. 12 opener, there’s a little more time than previous seasons. He said since there’s an extra week of camp, that competition won’t be a sprint early, since there’ll be more off days in the next week to aid recovery and try to prevent drastic workload increases, which GPS data suggests leads to more injuries.\n\n“We’ll kind of approach it a little bit slower,” Fuente said, “but yeah, you’d like to have a clear definition of what you’re doing a couple weeks before you play.”\n\n5. Social distancing complicated talks about racial injustice in the country, but Tech still fostered that discussion.\n\nWhen Black Lives Matter protests and awareness began a crescendo in June after George Floyd’s death, Fuente spoke with the team about matters of racial injustice, though the setting wasn’t ideal.\n\n“As you all know, there’s something to sitting across from somebody and getting a feel for their body language, the tone of their voice, that’s kind of hard to ascertain on Zoom,” he said. “But we did our best, our dead-level best, through a litany of opportunities to hear them out.”\n\nThat included a meeting in which Fuente addressed the entire team, followed by breakdowns into smaller groups to provide easier opportunities for players to talk, done by position and the team’s leadership council.\n\n“To say that it’s a difficult subject matter would be an understatement,” Fuente said. “A lot of kids on our football team have had a lot of different experiences, and that should be a good thing. And different backgrounds and different views.\n\n“And supporting guys and gals with their views on things is what we should be about. Encouraging them to have educated takes. Encouraging them to use resources to understand problems, not just on a surface level but on a much deeper level is what we’ve tried to do. And let our guys know that we’re here for them. That we want to help them, that the world’s not a perfect place, but it’s up to us to work hard and treat people the right way and hopefully we can make some small positive impression on the world.”"

"The National Republican Senatorial Committee is out with yet another ad criticizing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Patrick Murphy for embellishing his résumé.\n\nThe ad cites a CBS4 Miami report from June as its source to say that Murphy \"never\" worked as a CPA or \"never\" was a small business owner.\n\nMurphy's explanation of what he did in those roles has evolved since last spring, after the media started vetting his résumé. But while he might have oversold his credentials, Politifact found: \"In both cases, the word 'never' is too extreme to characterize Murphy’s work experience.\"\n\nMurphy's campaign has repeatedly pushed back on Republicans' attacks over the Jupiter congressman's résumé, saying they've been \"discredited.\"\n\n\"All the NRSC has 'revealed' in this ad is repeated lies, which have been rated 'mostly false' by PolitiFact, a respected, independent fact-checker,\" Murphy spokeswoman Galia Slayen said in a statement. \"After Marco Rubio abandoned Florida to pursue his own political ambition, it's clear that Rubio and his special interest allies have nothing but lies to run on.\"\n\nBut the nuances of Murphy's résumé are not as black-and-white as either side likes to portray it. Learn more here from Politifact about the extent of Murphy's CPA and small business experience.\n\nMeanwhile, this week, Politifact also rated \"Mostly True\" a claim in an ad from Republican incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio, which said Murphy had embellished his academic credentials from the University of Miami."

"Living in Boulder, as I have for most of my life, can be strange. Nearly everyone here, young and old alike, is insanely fit. Everyone has set some outlandish running or climbing goal for themselves, something to keep the sense of adventure alive and to expand their skills and experience. I myself have set many, and even achieved some, and this has been a lot of fun and very satisfying. These days, now that I’m receiving mailings from the AARP, I don’t go in all that much for goals or “projects”, preferring just to enjoy time out in mountains and on the trails without any particular aim. But, once in a while something still resonates inside my soul, a spark of an idea will come and I feel compelled to follow. This is intensely personal – I don’t care about setting marks, only about doing things that ignite my flame of curiosity and enthusiasm. Such has been the Longs Peak Project (LPP).",
null,
"The LPP was envisioned by local legend Bill Briggs. It’s a simple idea: climb Longs Peak, Colorado’s northernmost (and best!) 14er, by a different route each month for a year. It’s also a remarkable idea: How many mountains even have 12 worthwhile, unique routes? Longs has dozens, but many or most of them are on the Diamond and those are hard rock climbing – not something I’m going to do. I’m an avid scrambler, but not much of a real rock climber – I quickly lose interest when the gear comes out. Briggs never quite completed the LPP, but Bill Wright did it in 2008, and then repeated it in 2015 with Charlie Nuttelman. The local Boulder newspaper had a nice write-up on Bill & Charlie’s 2015 LPP.\n\nThough I’m a Longs Peak enthusiast, I stumbled into the LPP sort of by accident. I had climbed Keplinger’s Coulior with Bill, Charlie and several of their friends in December, the final climb of their successful LPP. Then in early January my friend Tina Lewis wanted to attempt a rare winter Longs Peak Duathlon (cycling round-trip to the TH from Boulder). That sounded totally miserable to me, but I agreed to meet her at the TH and do the hiking part with her. When we got back to the TH at 8PM it was already so cold that I considered trying to talk her out of cycling back down the canyon, but I held my tongue and she did it! Now I had 2 tough winter months out of the way – heck, might as well just finish off the other 10 months!\n\nI know Longs Peak (14,259′) really well, and I’ve notched about 80 ascents. I just love this mountain, which is less than a 1 hour drive (or about 3 hours by bike) from my home. It’s big, dramatic, complex, austere. Knowledge and experience on the mountain is key for the LPP – you want to know when a route is going to be in good shape, and you want to go when conditions are good. This avoids epics, which I don’t enjoy. Being mostly retired really helps. Weather can be a serious issue – especially nearly incessant wind in the winter months (our first attempt in February was defeated by wind so intense you literally could not stand up), and frequent snow (leading to difficult and often dangerous conditions) in spring. You want study the weather and be ready to go when it’s good. Despite careful planning, we got blown out of the Boulderfield (at 12,500′) in February, crushed by wind again while trying to rappel off the Beaver (a 14,000+ subsidiary summit SE of Longs) in March, had sloppy, dangerous snow conditions on Broadway (a remarkable narrow ledge that crosses the dramatic East Face) during our first attempt at the Notch Couloir in May, and got rained out of an attempt at Mary’s Ledges in September (successfully climbed the following day). Both planning and flexibility (and determination) are key!\n\nLongs Peak is one of the most frequently climbed 14ers in the state, and certainly one of the most climbed summits in Rocky Mountain National Park. The vast majority of all ascents are made via the standard Keyhole Route, which itself isn’t easy – it’s 15 miles round trip, with 5000′ of elevation gain, and sustained Class 3 scrambling above 13,000′. Even this standard route is rarely climbed in winter. I actually didn’t ascend the Keyhole Route during my LPP, though I did all parts of it on other ascents, and descended that way a couple of times. As part of this project I did 3 routes that were new to me: Alexander’s Chimney (Aug), Mary’s Ledges (Sep) and Van Diver’s West Wall (Oct). The latter was particularly rewarding, as it turned out to be an excellent, easy scramble (5.2), and I was unable to find a single mention of it on the entire Internet! (There was just a cursory mention in Rossiter’s RMNP guidebook.) I did many “bonus” climbs – 20 successful summits in 12 months – scouting out routes and conditions, doing some big traverses, and just enjoying this remarkable alpine playground as much as I could. I even got in another “project” – a traverse of RMNP’s huge Wild Basin, a 29-mile day with 14,000′ of elevation gain linking up 15 high summits (including Longs). This one had never been done, but had been on my “to do” list for several years.",
null,
"Since I started in December 2015, the final climb of the Project was November 2016. I’d carefully saved the standard North Face (“Cables”, 5.4) route for November, figuring I could get up that in most conditions. I’d failed to consider that this time of year the North Face gets NO sun at all, so the snow stays cold and doesn’t consolidate very fast. On 11/3 Kendrick Callaway and I encountered somewhat tricky conditions, with crappy sugar snow on top of the slabs, with very little ice, which made for some insecure climbing. But we managed to wriggle our way up safely. Once on the summit we were able to thaw our frozen hands and feet in delightful sunshine and no wind. What a great finish to an amazing year on Longs!\n\nNews item: Justin Simoni has upped the ante on the the LPP, and is attempting each ascent completely self-powered from Boulder, using a bike to reach the various trailheads (the LPP “officially” requires a least one climb from each of the 3 main THs). So far Justin has completed ascents in August, September and October. (Editors Note: Justin abandoned his self-powered LPP in December, as biking up to the trailhead, sleeping in light bivy gear, summiting, then riding back, all in sub-zero temps was impractical).\n\nHere’s the list of my 20 ascents for December 2015 – November 2016. The ascents I’m counting as part of the LPP are asterisked. Links to Trip Reports are given where available.",

"Businesses, Anti-Racism Is About More Than Your Brands\n\nThe killing of George Floyd brought the world to a standstill with protests demanding change, and uncomfortable conversations about global systemic racism. But as the Black Lives Matter movement topped the news agenda, many large corporations appeared to respond with gestures intended to deflect criticism – rather than foster meaningful change.\n\nFamous brands have been questioned over whether anti-racism is genuinely at the forefront of their agenda, or if changes are being made to appear inclusive at a surface level. Online video streaming services took down various television shows which displayed racist humour and blackface. Among them were Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh and League of Gentleman, which all contained actors playing racial caricatures. The removal of these depictions seem an empty gesture considering it was never called for by protesters, nor considered a priority.\n\nIn June, the Quaker Oats company announced it would retire the use of the image of Aunt Jemima on its pancake products after acknowledging its “origins are based on a racial stereotype”. Criticisms of the strong black woman trope are nothing new. Changing this mascot should have been on the cards for a very long time. Meanwhile, the US reality TV show the Bachelor cast its first Black male lead after 25 seasons and 18 years on air, following years of criticism for lack of diversity. It’s a valid step towards a more diverse cast. But why did it take so long?\n\nOne by one, big businesses have released statements on their stance towards discrimination and racism. But measures such as deleting old footage and changing mascots do little to address the important and longstanding issues of racial inequality within workplaces. During this critical movement where Black people globally are campaigning against systemic racism and racial inequality – more must be done to tackle this deep-rooted issue.",
null,
"In 2019, the Bank of England’s chief economist found minority ethnic employees in the UK earn around 10% less than their white British counterparts. The most pronounced variations exist with employees of Bangladeshi origin earning 20% less. Meanwhile, those from a Black, African, Caribbean or Black British background earn 13% less. Businesses with more than 250 employees are legally required to report on gender pay gaps – but no such requirement exists for inequalities along lines of race and ethnicity. However, more than 130,000 people have signed a petition for the government to make ethnicity pay gap reporting mandatory too. In the absence of legal requirements, company bosses could take the initiative to begin examining race and ethnicity pay inequalities in their ranks.\n\nWith a more diverse workforce, better informed business choices could also help elevate the regressive brand activism we have recently witnessed. Solutions could include blind selection processes in recruitment to help eliminate unconscious bias. It should also involve better representation behind the camera, such as hiring Black writers and editors and committing to have more minority ethnic groups in senior positions.\n\nWhile the crowds of protesters may be dwindling in the UK; the work of addressing systemic racism within businesses – along with all sections of society – must continue.\n\nMeanwhile, the UK’s third Black Pound Day is set to take place on 5 September. It is described by its founders as a “solution-based approach to support the growth of the UK Black economy”, encouraging consumers to replace their usual purchases with products from Black-owned businesses. Firms serious about tackling systemic racism may consider looking at how they can use the tools at their disposal to support this initiative.\n\nThe past two months have also seen some businesses take steps in solidarity with Black Lives Matter which appear, to some extent, to put their money where their mouth is. Apple has pledged $100 million (£76.5 million) for a new Racial Equality and Justice Initiative, Google has committed to donating $12 million (£9.2 million) to support organisations working for criminal justice reform, while Nike promises to donate $40 million (£30.6 million) across the span of four years to a range of social justice organisations.\n\nBut it remains a drop in the ocean.\n\nWhile the crowds of protesters may be dwindling in the UK; the work of addressing systemic racism within businesses – along with all sections of society – must continue.",

"Urban freeways are often described in the language of carnage. Bisecting neighborhoods, disrupting street grids, harming disadvantaged populations, and barreling through valuable downtown real estate, they are variously referred to by detractors as scars, gashes, and wounds inflicted on the urban landscape.\n\nThe poultice of choice is made out of the same material as the scar itself: concrete. Cities are now envisioning caps that are, essentially, bridges that cover trenched freeways, typically for three or four blocks. Traffic would pass under them undisturbed while cities would gain acres of new space while restoring their street grids for the benefit of pedestrians and residents.\n\nCities in California have considered freeway cap projects for years, predating the recession of the late 2000s. Several projects performed initial studies, including several that received initial planning grants from the Southern California Association of Governments. But none has yet gotten past preliminary planning stages.\n\nNow, with the resurgent economy and dearth of urban land, cities are redoubling their efforts.\n\nSeveral projects are competing for the title of California’s first freeway cap.\n\nLos Angeles’s Park 101 would cover a section of the 101 Freeway on the north side of downtown, where the freeway separates Chinatown, Olvera Street, and Union Statin from the Civic Center and the rest of downtown. A few miles north, the Hollywood Central Park would cover a 38-acre diagonal slash of the 101 through a medium-density commercial and residential part of Hollywood. The City of Glendale has similar plans for the 134 Freeway on the north side of its downtown, branded Space 134.",

You’ll be unlocking the value of these parcels that heretofore have not been useful.”\n\nMore speculative projects include one in downtown Santa Monica, extending the McClure Tunnel and connecting the city’s retail district with its civic center; coastal Ventura, where Highway 101 separates the city from its beachfront; downtown Oakland; and two projects in San Diego.\n\nMany of these projects have received support in the form of planning grants, and some are championed by nonprofit groups set up by civic leaders.\n\n“We continue to fund them because now we see them as providing destinations, non-motorized connections, active transportation, park amenities, economic development, the whole range of benefits,” said Marco Anderson, program manger at SCAG and convener of the agency's ad hoc Freeway Cap Coalition.\n\nWhile caps could support all manner of buildings, most of these projects propose that parks and other types of public space would occupy the reclaimed real estate.\n\n“We’re a built-out city as many are,” said Glendale City Manager Scott Ochoa. “How do you create new property for open space?”\n\n“With property values rising...imagine trying to build this type of park by acquiring land in downtown,” said Estolano. “We have dedicated so much land to the automobile. We are finally seeing a generational shift in our thinking. We want to reclaim this space for people.”\n\nThat’s the case in Glendale and both Los Angeles projects. Ventura, though, takes a more pragmatic approach. Ventura Community Development Director Jeff Lambert said that the city doesn’t necessarily need more park space, at least not in that location, since it’s a few blocks from the beach. And the cap could enable the city to demolish an obsolete beachside parking structure and thereby create more recreational space. Lambert said that the cap could provide for a whole host of projects, including a parking lot, a conference center, and, ideally, a new train station created from the existing Union Pacific trestle.\n\n“We are in some ways creating new land….. if we can move that structure on to the freeway, we create a whole beachfront property for development,” said Lambert. “We have a beach, so we don’t necessarily need the open space. We need something more commercially oriented.\"\n\nIn many ways, boosters see freeway caps as true win-win situations, enhancing the public realm without distributing the essential transportation function of the freeways they cover. But several impediments lie in their way.\n\nFor the most part, engineering is the least of cities’ worries. Arguably less complex than the freeways they cover, caps present relatively straightforward engineering challenges. As massive as they are, they are essentially very wide bridges. They do not need supports because the trench walls already exist.\n\n“The technical component is not challenging at all,” said Estolano. “This is not an engineering masterpiece, as I understand it.”\n\nFreeway caps are, therefore, not necessarily as expensive as other meaty pieces of infrastructure might be. The 22-acre Park 101 is estimated to cost roughly $390 million, while Glendale officials estimate about half that for its 5.2-acre proposal . By far the largest proposed freeway cap, Hollywood Central Park is estimated to cost $1 billion. (By comparison, developable land in downtown Los Angeles has sold recently for well over $20 million per acre.)\n\n“It’s not a small sum of money, but building it and getting the money to build it are not one of my bigger concerns,” said Glendale Community Development Director Phil Lanzafame. He noted that the immediate neighborhood has recently seen over $1 billion in investment for two retail centers alone.\n\nIn return for these investments, Estolano noted that the development of Park 101 would enable the city to develop several parcels that are currently moribund because of their proximity to the freeway, thus defraying the cost. It would also free up real estate by eliminating several little-used on- and off-ramps. And the plan calls for improvements throughout the surrounding area. She also suggested that freeway caps present ideal opportunities for cities (or other lead agencies) to use Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts, a relatively new funding tool based on tax-increment financing. (See prior CP&DR coverage here and here.)\n\nEven with these funding opportunities, freeway caps are not going to build themselves, in part because they are not considered amnesties and not essential infrastructure.\n\n\"While the public sector is going to play the kind of key facilitating role...what’s really going to move the needle is a private sector foundation and champion….and to raise a lot of the seed money,” said Anderson.\n\nEven with funding, none of these caps will see the light of day without approval from the California Department of Transportation, which has jurisdiction over the freeways in question. When many of these projects were first conceived, Caltrans’ cooperation seemed unlikely. Caltrans officials hesitated to support freeway caps because they would essentially prevent widening of the freeway segments that they covered. There was also debate about ownership of air rights.\n\n“It’s not something that’s conceived of in the Caltrans manual,” said Estolano.\n\nRecently, though, the agency has taken on a supportive tone. Anderson said that new leadership at Caltrans and the adoption of Smart Mobility Framework has encouraged the agency to embrace sustainability more so than in the past. It even sponsored a study of a cap over a small portion of State Route 94 in San Diego.\n\n“It goes hand in hand in the last five years with the realization in LA County….those segments of freeway aren’t going to be widened anyway,” said Anderson. “Now there’s an understanding that Caltrans and SCAG and Metro are in a position to say, we know this segment is not going to be widened so we are comfortable going ahead.”\n\nThat’s not to say that Caltrans will rubber-stamp any of these projects.\n\n“Our biggest issue is convincing folks that the money question isn't the major question; it’s the collaboration among government agencies,” said Ochoa. But at least cities now see some hope.\n\nRegardless, none of these projects will proceed without public support and political will. Lambert said, for instance, that Ventura’s project has stalled in part because of the retirement of former City Council Member Carl Morehouse, who had been its leading proponent.\n\nBut boosters claim that the time may be right for many of these projects. The continuing renaissance of downtowns, like those in Los Angeles and Glendale, plus the dearth of park space make freeway caps essential and urgent, according to backers.\n\n“LA can’t wait,” said Estolano. “We need to create better health impacts for people. We need to address some of the environmental inequities that occurred in the last half-century.”\n\nMoreover, these mega-projects have, of late, become less fanciful and less daunting. Boston’s “Big Dig” — which included not just a cap but also an entirely new sunken highway — notoriously ran billions of dollars over budget in the early 2000s. But, in 2012, the 5-acre Klyde Warren Park opened atop a 1,200-foot stretch of the Woodall Rodgers Freeway in downtown Dallas. It cost $50 million, paid for with a combination of philanthropic, municipal, and federal funds.\n\n“It is possible,” said Anderson. “It's not kind of a fantasy idea.”\n\nAs idyllic as they sound, some critics see a dark side to freeway caps — and they’re not just referring to light-deprived tunnels.\n\nChris Sensenig, an urban designer with Van Meter Williams Pollack in the Bay Area, founded a group called Connect Oakland. It advocates not just for capping Oakland's 980 Freeway but rather for its removal entirely. Sensenig’s position is grounded in a fundamental opposition to urban freeways.\n\n\"Freeways were created to connect cities. They were never meant to go through cities. The way they were implemented in cities were, quite frankly, systematic racism.”\n\nSensenig said that the 980 in particular never should have been built in the first place, that it’s under-used. At the same time, it commits all the other sins that urban freeways are accused of. Sensenig envisions removing the freeway, reconfiguring the surrounding streets, and reclaiming land for development. Most ambitiously, Sensenig sees it as a possible BART station served by a proposed second Transbay Tube.\n\nThe prospect of removing the freeway and turning it into a multi-lane boulevard with opportunities for development is included, in rough form, in Oakland’s recently adopted downtown plan. (See prior CP&DR coverage.)\n\nAnd Sensenig rejects the win-win notion of a traditional freeway cap, which, he said, simply perpetuates cities' reliance on automobiles and automobiles’ offenses against cities. He believes that caps accommodate — literally covering up — something that cities should be demolishing with enthusiasm.\n\n“Fundamentally, caps are foolish endeavors. It doubles-down on the freeway,” said Sensenig. “You’re putting that much more investment in the freeway being there. It’s going to be there forever, once that second round of investment is made.”\n\nDespite objections such as these, support for freeway caps statewide may be reaching critical mass. And once one project gets approved, others may follow as the novelty wears off and regulations catch up with cities’ ambitions.\n\n“If Hollywood cracks the nut, we will follow along,” said Estolano. “I would hate to think that each project will have to through all the same battles on their own.”\n\n“It would be very interesting to see a piece of legislation that would map out a process that others could use,” said Estolano."

"On the 27th of May in the Year of our Most Gracious Lord Two-thousand and sixteen, I and my long-time girlfriend did the deed of legality and finally got married. We got hitched. We attached balls and chains to each other. We stopped living in the sin of fornication.\n\nNow, when I say “long-time girlfriend”, I’m not just whistling Dixie. Sixteen years long-time. A decade and a half plus change long-time. Practically a third of our lives long-time. That in itself is a major commitment.\n\nThe chain of events on how we finally put pen to paper should be expounded upon, as it serves for a laugh. (For those of our intimates, the story is very emblematic of who we are.)\n\nMy wife had been out of work for a year and a half. She finally found a position at a nursing/rehab facility. She had a week before she started, so I took off a few days to celebrate with her.\n\nOne of the things she loves to do is to go to the Camarillo outlet mall. Obviously, spending had been tight while we had only one income, so it was time to splurge a bit. As we were looking at the mall’s website, we both noticed that there was a Zale’s outlet store there. “Well, look at that,” she said. “Yes, indeed, look at that,” I replied.\n\nWhere do we hit first the following day? Yes, of course. Within an hour she had chosen a beautiful engagement ring.\n\nHowever, I never actually said the words “Will you marry me”. Didn’t get down on one knee, didn’t have mariachis backing me up, didn’t even play “In Your Eyes”. I mean, sure, we’d been together 16 years. Formalities had fled long ago. But still, I could have at least looked longingly into her eyes.\n\nHow did the world find out that we were affianced? I texted my friends and family with a picture of the ring on her finger, she posted a change in relationship status on Facebook. Oh, and of course, I tweeted. Modern love indeed.\n\nOf course, once one gets engaged, the immediate question is “When’s the big day?” It was almost as if people didn’t know who we were.\n\nI was the one who wanted a biggish wedding. My now wife is a very shy person, and the thought of getting up in front of a bunch of people—even people whom we love and love us back—gave her no shortage of tsouris. This is somewhat of a drawback when wanting a full public spectacle. So, we waited.\n\nEventually, this year, we started to get serious about setting a date. Since her sister and father live in Indiana, we had to plan things around when they could come out. I had given up on thoughts of a grand wedding, as, both of us being in our mid-40s, we realized (OK, she made me realize) that going into debt to merely formalize something which had been fact for almost two decades was a bit silly. After to-ing and fro-ing, we settled on a date for her family to come out, and we decided on a simple courtroom ceremony: me, her, my now-sister-and-father-in-law, my mother, and my best friend. The following day we had a huge dinner at the Cuban social club my aunt and uncle run, and boom, it was done. We should have both changed our names to Mr. and Mrs. No-frills.\n\nOne would think that having been together 16 years, nothing much would have changed by merely obtaining a piece of paper. But the vagaries of human love don’t work that way.\n\nI’m not going to say everything changes. But things do change.\n\nPar example: One day Teresa was sick to her stomach, to the point where I took her to the emergency room to get a shot for the nausea. Of course, I stayed with her the rest of that day. Once her stomach felt stronger, I took her out to a diner we hadn’t visited in years. Out of nowhere, I said “We’re in love again, aren’t we.” And she agreed.\n\nLittle things like that. Little realizations that we’re not what we once were, that we’ve become something different. At the start of our relationship we went out with my best friend, and she asserted “Oh, he doesn’t believe in bourgeois concepts like marriage”. And at the time, I didn’t. But I do now. Not because I’ve become conservative and am planning a vote for Donald Trump. But because as I’ve grown older I’ve come to appreciate the value in the rituals which have undergirded our human civilization. It’s why I thought gays should have the right to marry long before it became fashionable; the committed couple joining—ostensibly for life—is one of the cornerstones of our culture. Why should they be denied that which I eschewed for so long?\n\nNo, I am far from a conservative. Read here for evidence of that. But neither am I a radical. I don’t desire a sharp break with the past. Just as I consider myself an agnostic Catholic, informed by my religious upbringing (the subject of a future piece), so do I take solace in things which went before which still resonate with me. I look side-eyed at anyone who says “We need to smash up everything!” That person is either immature, or has nothing to lose, or won’t suffer much in the chaos. He is a person to be avoided.\n\nMy first quarter report is this: the young man who thought he’d be a swinging dick for all his life is now settled into comfortable middle-aged marriage. And that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s quite good. There’s a warm familiarity to it, a blessed comfort. And it is different, for we have made a public, legal commitment to each other. Of course, we can divorce. But that seems a much more drastic step than merely breaking up, as it would have been before the marriage. There’s an incentive to work things out in marriage which may not have quite obtained when we were merely living together. We feel, in fact, a little bit more adult. We now live in a slightly stranger country, but full of new wonders to discover.\n\n4 thoughts on “On Marriage: A Quarterly Report”"

"London Stadium owners London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) are reviewing tender submissions submitted to them before an August deadline to transform the North and South lower stands of the former Olympic Stadium.\n\nThe tender notice was published in June this year on the Delta ESourcing website which reveals E20 stadium LLP wanted to tender for a contract to build and move the new lower stands for seven years. It gives an estimated contract value of £11.5 million.\n\nExpressions of interest were invited back in January but a tender process begun in late June this year.\n\nCompanies wishing to tender for the contract had a deadline of midday on 26th August 2019 to submit their proposals with costings.\n\nIn February this year West Ham and LLDC jointly announced plans to bring the north and south stands closer to the pitch while squaring them off. The contract fully funded by the LLDC is expected to save them money in annual seat move costs."

"On August 21, 2017, the moon aligned between the earth and sun, casting a shadow that moved over the United States from Oregon to South Carolina, passing through Nebraska. Dubbed The Great American Eclipse, thousands of people flocked to the state to witness the once in a lifetime event.\n\nIn addition to the thousands of people wearing cardboard glasses and staring at the sun, we wanted to know if the eclipse would have an influence on the biota within the path of totality, specifically in central Nebraska.\n\nAside from the opportunity to see an astronomic rarity, this phenomenon provided a unique natural experiment to investigate the use of a combination of remote sensors, collectively referred to a multimodal technologies, to measure biological and environmental changes.\n\nPublished in the journal Ecological Indicators (check it out here: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1XU-4,XRNLZ25V), our research was a collaboration among the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Platte Basin Timelapse, Crane Trust, and Center for Global Soundscapes. We incorporated a multimodal suite of tools, including time-lapse cameras, sound recorders, and environmental sensors, to assess how a drastic and rapid reduction in light influenced various wildlife, plants, and atmospheric conditions.\n\nWe found that the total solar eclipse altered environmental conditions in several ways that triggered changes in the calling activity of insects and birds.\n\nWe used time-lapse cameras set at 30-second intervals to document changes in sun illumination. The light on the landscape was never completely dark but rather mimicked the illumination of sunrise or sunset. To see how the light changed across Nebraska, check out this video by Mariah Lundgren that highlights a few PBT camera locations, two of which were used in our study.\n\nWatch the eclipse darken the skies across Nebraska. (Mariah Lundgren).\n\nAfter analyzing the images and quantifying the proximate change in illumination, we calculated the light declined by 66% of the average daily mean. Temperature decreased an average of 12°F and humidity increased an average of 20%. The following visualization shows how light and temperature changed during the eclipse on wet meadow near the Platte River.\n\nSpectrograms, acoustic indices, and auditory surveys from sound recordings revealed numerous changes in the soundscape. Orthoptera, such as katydids and crickets, changed the amount, timing, and frequency of their calling. We identified changes in the call activity of late-season breeding birds, for example, sedge wrens increased singing during totality. We also observed a phenomenon known as an ‘eclipse wind’, where sounds associated with wind, such as rustling grasses or branches, decreased closer to totality.\n\nA spectrogram, or visual representation of sound, recorded from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm on August 21, 2017. In the spectrogram, note the decline in insect calling frequency near totality and reduced vertical streaking closer to totality from decreased wind. Of interest in the sound recordings, the first clip has higher frequency insect calls, the second clip of totality has increased sedge wren vocalizations, and the third recording shows how the wind increased again. (Emma Brinley Buckley)\n\nWe also hypothesized that the eclipse might influence bat behavior, nocturnal/crepuscular wildlife, or flowers that rely on light-cues. We deployed ultrasonic microphones and trailcams at a known night roost and foraging site to detect bat activity, as well as trail cameras on active wildlife corridors and specific plants such as moonflowers (Datura stramonium, which bloom at night), young sunflowers (Helianthus annuus, which orient towards the sun), and morning glories (Ipomoea purpurea, which bloom during the day). Despite our efforts, we did not observe any out of the ordinary changes from bats, plants, or on wildlife trails during the eclipse.\n\nThe use of passive multimodal technologies allowed us to collect many different types of information (i.e. visual, auditory, atmospheric) across multiple sites at a high temporal frequency. This meant we could acquire continuous data to help us better understand our fast-changing natural world, without having to be physically at a location and manually measuring change.\n\nMany of the sound recorders were in isolated locations far from populated areas, but when the moon completely eclipsed the sun and totality began, the cheers, howls, and celebratory yells of distant spectators were heard on every sound recording. I took in the event in solitary silence, one eye squinting through my eclipse monocle, the other half of the cardboard glasses duct taped to my camera lens, and my attention focused solely on the sky to witness the celestial spectacle.",

"Shelly Parker, a sixteen-year-old servant who works for the tyrannical Pastor Dobbins and his family, has had the gift of sight for as long as she can remember. She’s grown accustomed to coexisting with the spirits of the dead who roam Black Mountain, telling Shelly their stories and warning her of the dangers that surround her. When the ghost of Arleen Brown, a poor woman who died on the mountain during childbirth five years earlier, begins to pursue Pastor’s daughter Faith—hell-bent on revealing a terrible secret that she took to her grave—Shelly is the only person that can help her. The two young women soon find themselves tangled up in a web of secrets and lies that takes them from Black Mountain to the murky saltwater marshes of Georgia, uncovering long-hidden truths that put their own lives in danger…\n\nI was allowed to read this book ahead of its publication date thanks to NetGalley and the author/publication house.\n\nI started off a bit confused with the plot of this book. It took me a chapter or so get what was going. I know you may think that is generally the way it goes for ALL books, but the chapters switch between characters in different places in different time frames.\n\nFor the most part I really enjoyed the story. I love a book that deals with spirits of the dead hell bent on having the truth told, something that has haunted a mountain and those who are related to it in some way or anything for many years. The switching between the characters was a great way to get more detail about what is going on and to get some different perspectives on how they all felt about each others and the situations. I really enjoyed it when each of the different perspective/time frames joined up in pieces along the way to reveal what on earth was going on. For the most part the past was pretty easy to just know straight away, but there was always how it was going to end to work out.\n\nThere were a few things I didn’t like about the story though. One being that it moved really slowly. It did have enough stuff going on with the constant changes that it took me awhile that nothing really had happened yet. I was about 86% through, and from this point onward when something that was obviously moving the story onward to the climax I got a bit frustrated and tended to put it down a bit more. Another was the fact that though the characters have a few differences they all kinda seem the same by the end, mostly cause they are all scared and angry and there isnt much different between how they each react to these emotions. Also, the ending though had a bit of a climax, didnt really feel satisfying when you finally got there because of how long the build up took. It was also a bit of a too happy ending for a sad story.\n\nI still recommend it when it is published. I only received the first draft so things might have been changed, and if not its still a worthy read.",

"So today I was a bad Jazz and I spent the entire day researching and going to stores to look at eReaders because I loath reading books on my computer screen since it hurts my eyes (and I can never get comfy…) and haven’t read any more of either of the books I am currently reading. (There is still a few hours of me being awake where I can read, so can I be forgiven?).\n\nSo at first I was looking really closely at the Kindle Fire, but I quickly worked out that it thinks along the lines of ‘Stuff you Australia,’ and pretty much wont work unless you live within the US. I then spent the rest of the day researching, looking at youtube reviews and other such things on both Kobo and other Kindles. I disregarded all eReaders that dont come with a light because they were too old/small/ugly. Seriously though, don’t you think the old Kindles are ugly? I don’t like the look of the old phone style directional tool or the keyboard. I decided one with frontlighting would be best for me since the light wont be glaring up at me like backlight/my computer screen does, so it probably a good thing Kindle Fire doesn’t work here or I would have bought it without doing much more research and had serious issues with the light on my eyes.\n\nSo this selection left me with the Kobo Glo and the Kindle PaperWhite. The first thing that annoyed me about both was that they don’t have a headphone jack so don’t make noise. This was almost enough for me to give up my entire plan and just forget about everything until I had a realisation. Jazz, do your current much loved paperbacks sing to you? No… How do you listen to music while reading at the moment? With my iPod… Are you ever going to want the computer voice to read to you? Hell no! So why in the would you even need the headphone jack?!?! I tried going to look at the Kobo Glo in stores, but of course that is the one that was out of charge for all of them and I never got to test it. I couldn’t even think about testing the Kindle Paperwhite though, because Kindle still has a ‘Stuff you Australia’ mind frame and has only released like one instores. Luckily though, Amazon has started shipping to Australia. Many youtube/online reviews later I’m pretty sure I have settled for the Kindle Paperwhite. I like the idea of buying from Amazon better than using Bookworld’s ePUB format, and Amazon seems to have cheaper/wider range of books. Kindle is also greatly associated with NetGalley and that helped make up my mind. I hate the idea of getting less than 2gbs of memory and not having an option to make it bigger and this almost made me go with Kobo, but in the end I decided the lag that seemed to stand out and the less touch sensative screen was enough to annoy me. If the Kindle can fit over 1000 books on it surely its big enough for me, and if its not there is always cloud so why bother worry about it? I would like to point out here though that I am not technological savvy and thusly really don’t need something huge. I still use an old 8gb iPod nano and slide screen nokia that I only use as a phone. A phone used as a phone, what a shocker hey? Below are pictures of my phone and iPod if they were new, which they most certainly aren’t. They are much more dodgy than those pictures. Im avoiding upgrading to touch screen in both of them cause I currently hate them all and would rebuy ones like these anyday.",

"The only thing left to is decide on just the wifi Kindle or the 3G… Though I think the 3G would suit me more since my house wifi gets turned off all the time because apparently it disturbs people in the house who are gamers and makes their games lag, and when I visit family there is zero internet at all, but the price difference between the wifi at $139 and the 3G at $199 is huge and im having issues coming to terms with it since all it does it show me books… But its also very pretty and I kinda need it… I dunno what are your thoughts on it? Which should I go with, wifi or 3G? Or do you think im going with the completely wrong brand? I have to wait till I get some more money before I buy it anyway so let me know your thoughts so I can think them over.\n\nOn another note I got two more Netgalley books to review today today :3",

"This is a composite of several exposures on the Geminids taken throughout the night. Being close to winter, Fall River State Park is basically abandoned and I saw only one other vehicle in the campground. I parked near a boat ramp and, after taking some foreground images, targeted the rising eastern constellations to capture longer exposures of the background sky at f/5.6. At about 10pm I started taking shorter exposures at f/2.8 in order to capture transient events. Despite my preparations I can say this was not fun. I had several layers on to keep warm, but the steady breeze, freezing temperatures, and the lake effect meant I was left stuffing spare batteries into my gloves, sheltering in the car, and swapping camera batteries every 20-30 minutes since the cold conditions kept reducing their charge.\n\nPhotoshop Combination:\n- Masked in each transient to the background image\n- Levels, Saturation edits\n\nAnnotation image:\n- Addition of constellation lines in Photoshop since Pix was unable to solve\n- Blending in of Foreground images taken in dusk twilight + one single tracked image of the background for reference (moved slightly South/right but hey, its a comp)",

"Thomas Jefferson is one of the most complex figures in American history. Author of the Declaration of Independence, Governor of Virginia, Minster to France, Secretary of State, Vice President, and finally President Jefferson is synonymous with the founding of our nation. His reputation has always been one shrouded in controversy. Was he an ideologue who favored revolution or the pragmatist who engineered the purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803? During the last few years, his reputation has experienced a downturn in large part because of Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton which formed the basis for the Broadway production of the musical “Hamilton” which highlighted the rift between Jefferson and our first Secretary of the Treasury. As a result, Hamilton’s persona as perceived by the public has improved, and the sage of Monticello’s declined in the eyes of the public.\n\nAccording to Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie in their historical novel, AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson Randolph, Jefferson’s eldest daughter was responsible for a good part of what we know about her father as she was his constant companion at Monticello, Washington, or Paris in addition to assuming the role as his protector following the death of his spouse. Writing a work of fiction based on the life of such a devoted daughter whose primary goal was to protect her fathers’ reputation at a time when it was open season on any hint of scandal is quite an undertaking. To Dray and Kamoie’s credit they have done an efficient job telling the story of America’s founding and Jefferson’s presidential administration through the eyes of his daughter.\n\nRelying on over 18,000 letters written by Jefferson and numerous other sources the authors have constructed a historical novel that focuses on the relationship between Jefferson and his eldest daughter and the other figures, major and minor that dominated their lives. The vehicle the authors employ in telling their story must be taken with a grain of salt as Patsy Jefferson had an agenda of protecting all aspects of her father’s life and legacy and therefore the concept of objectivity was missing from her repertoire.\n\nAlmost immediately the reader finds Patsy defending her father against charges of cowardness when the British attacked near Monticello. None other than Patrick Henry called for an investigation of Jefferson and his role as Governor of Virginia as he ran off rather than confront the British during the American Revolution. To the author’s credit they do not shy away from controversial aspects of Jefferson’s life including his relationship with Sally Hemings and the birth of their son, his views concerning slavery and promising to free Sally and her brother James only after his death, his role during the French Revolution, his disagreements with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, among many other instances.",

"The authors convey the bond between father and daughter which was forged by the death of Martha Jefferson, Thomas’ wife, and Patsy’s mother. This relationship forms the backdrop for the entire novel as at first, she would protect him from committing suicide as his grief seemed to place him on the edge of madness. This relationship is not a healthy one as Patsy in large part became her father’s surrogate spouse and mother as she over protected him and had difficulty criticizing him. She would sacrifice her relationship with Jefferson’s secretary in Paris, William Short and return to Virginia to be with her father rather than marrying him. This behavior is due in large part to her promise to her dying mother to care for her father and the result is a rather uncomfortable relationship as they were constantly in each other’s company playing duets together, her anger at a possible liaison between her father and Maria Cosway, a married woman as she saw it as a betrayal of her mother’s memory, and her reaction to catching her father in the embrace of Sally Heming.\n\nThe novel is built upon dialogue developed from thousands of letters consulted, but is disappointing as insights into Jefferson’s behavior, belief system, and policies are not dealt with in a meaningful manner. The authors place little emphasis in these areas as the first 40% of the novel are taken up with Patsy’s relationship with William Short which focused on slavery, courtship, her father’s state of mind, and his needs and emotions.\n\nThe authors give Jefferson a great deal of credit for launching the French Revolution through his friendship with the Marquis de Lafayette and his authorship of the Charter of rights which later would morph into the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The key for both men was the marriage of pragmatism and principle to achieve their goals.\n\nThere are a number of memorable scenes portrayed in the novel. First, James Heming’s declaration of freedom from slavery while serving as Jefferson’s cook while in Paris and demanding freedom for his sister Sally before the Jefferson’s returned to Virginia. Second, Patsy’s humiliation and anger upon learning that Sally was pregnant with her father’s child. This continued with Patsy’s anger as she felt she gave up her relationship with William Short to care for her father and felt she was in competition with Sally Heming for her father’s attention – not a healthy situation. Third, scenes that convey Jefferson’s need to control and dominate others out of his fears of being abandoned as his wife did by dying, as did his daughter Lucy who also passed away, Patsy’s desire to take her vows and join a convent, James desire for freedom, the death of his son with Sally Heming, and Jefferson’s argument that Patsy should marry Thomas Randolph whose wealth would help pay off the debts that Jefferson had incurred in Paris and the needs for Monticello. The novel presents a man who stood in the way of his daughter’s marriage and reflects a selfishness and self-centeredness, traits that dominated his private and public life.\n\nThe author’s diligence can be excessive as they recount scandals, the lives of so many Virginia cousins, and disinheritances. At times, the prose is sappy and becomes tiresome as Patsy consistently recounts her emotions as they pertain to Short, her husband Thomas Randolph and her father.\n\nThe book is well researched but should not be relied upon as a historical tool to be relied upon as Patsy’s version of history as presented by the authors is biased and in too many cases too self-centered and mundane as Jefferson’s legacy and honor must be maintained no matter the cost. The book entertains a number of themes that dominate the storyline. First, the concept of honor and the expectations of how a Virginia gentleman should act. Second, Thomas Jefferson could do no wrong as a father, grandfather, president etc. Third, Patsy dominates the story controlling the flow of events and visitors to the White House and later to Monticello. Fourth, the highs and mostly lows of Patsy’s marriage to the demented Thomas Randolph and its effect on their children appear on each page. Fifth, the importance of Sally Hemings; concubine, mother of Jefferson’s children, and overseer of the aging sage of Monticello.* Lastly, the novel seems to shift from one disaster after another with little that can be categorized as domestic peace.\n\nOverall, the novel is interesting and interesting at times, but one should pursue further research before accepting many of the author’s themes.\n\n*see THE HEMINGSES OF MONTICELLO: AN AMERICAN FAMILY by Annette Gordon-Reed."

"Initially, I remember being dead against being enrolled as a pupil at West Buckland School. Such a daunting looking building. So big, so grey and a little bit scary. I must say however that I was only four and a half at the time and did not realise that I was looking at the Senior School and not the prep!\n\nSeptember arrived and it was time for me to leave and say goodbye to mum and dad. I was very nervous and it took a while to settle purely because I was missing my parents. I soon realised that either mum or dad would always be there to collect me at the end of the school day and finally I began to look forward each morning to meeting my new friends and the lessons were fun too.\n\nBefore I knew it it was time for me to leave the Prep and join the senior school something which I took for granted.\n\nI soon learned that this was not automatic and that I would need to take the dreaded entrance test.\n\nMr Moor satisfied my parents that he would be very surprised if I did not make.\n\nAlthough it sounded a foregone conclusion that I would soon be entering the senior school. My parents wanted to make sure and this is when I found out that they had organised a back up plan just incase I should not make the grade. Unknowns to me they had booked me to take senior entrance tests at three other schools. Blundells School , Edge Hill and Christ’s Hospital School where I would be required to board as it was situated in West Sussex.\n\nFortunately I gained honours in all entrance tests at each school. Also I later found out that I had earned a scholarship at West Buckland Senior School.\n\nWhat a dilemma! There were two schools that stood out amongst the others. One being the five hundred year old Christ’s Hospital School which had been founded by the Tudor King Edward the 6th. Who was the only son of King Henry the 8th. With their marching band and their Tudor uniforms it was different and special in every way you can imagine. I had little time to decide and to make my decision worse my mother wanted me to attend Christ’s Hospital School whereas my father wanted me to stay at West Buckland. I was torn between the two but finally decided to stay with West Buckland where I would still know all of my friends and I would be able to go home each night .\n\nHow glad I was that I had chosen West Buckland.\n\nIt was so different to the prep in every way. So much harder lessons but also many opportunities to involve myself in other things outside of lessons. Plenty of sport, small bore shooting plus the opportunity to take up playing the saxophone which allowed me to join the West Buckland Jazz Band and also the main West Buckland concert orchestra.\n\nAs one of my passions is singing I also became a member of the Choral Choir. The highlight of that was singing Verdi’s Requiem within Exeter Cathedral.\n\nAlthough a little nervous to begin with I decided to give drama a go and took part in three different shows laid on by the school “Bugsy Malone” ‘We will Rock You’ and ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ which took place at the Landmark Theatre in Ilfracombe. And finally as I was already a Warrant Officer of the Air Training Corps I joined the West Buckland Combined Cadet Force.\n\nI can honestly say that I was thriving at West Buckland doing things I could never imagine.\n\nI was honoured by becoming a prefect and in year 13 I was a Mentor to assist and help younger students with any worries or concerns they may have.\n\nNow back to learning, the very reason you attend school!\n\nIf you really want to get good grades you really have to put the work in and this includes homework. My parents had always impressed upon me that your grades in both your GCSEs and A Levels has a massive bearing on your future. I took their advice on board and received 5 A* and 5 As in my GCSEs I could have done better but was very pleased that the A stars included all the sciences plus maths and R.S.\n\nNow A levels were looming and as I had always been interested in Science I decided to take Chemistry, Biology, Physics and A2 Maths. I was aware of the levels required for admission to university to study Chemistry and I along with my parents were thrilled that I had achieved the level required.\n\nI had three offers of university placements and decided on Southampton because of it being a campus. Basically that means you have everything within the university grounds.\n\nI gained my BSc in Chemistry but my goal was my Masters. Fortunately I achieved Master of Chemistry Second Class Honours (Upper Division).\n\nAfter nineteen years of education it was now time to get that job I had always dreamed of.\n\nI contacted three different laboratories and was offered a position of Chemical Analyst at a thriving firm use two days after receiving my degree. I am now living in Berkshire very close to Windsor Castle.\n\nI often think back to my years spent at West Buckland School both Prep and Senior.\n\nThe friends I met, the many activities on offer and the teaching staff who gave me the knowledge to gain a place at university and eventually achieve the job I had always dreamed of."

"Cameroonian health and emergency personnel are working to stem a cholera outbreak that has killed at least a dozen people and sickened at least 100 others in the Bakassi Peninsula that shares a maritime boundary with Nigeria.\n\nIt is feared the outbreak will claim more lives in the coastal area, which lacks health infrastructure.\n\nEmergency medical workers, together with some civilians, are working to improve hygiene and sanitation by clearing dirt and debris from water beneath houses on the shores in the area. Among them is 31-year-old Cameroonian fisherman Lucas Emimo, who says he lost his younger sister to cholera. Emimo says he has joined the humanitarian workers because he fears many more people may die from the infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhea, leading to dehydration and even death if untreated.\n\n“We lack toilets, potable water,” Emimo said. “There is no hospital. People defecate beside the sea, under the houses, everywhere and so it makes the place not good to stay.”\n\nDr. Ebongo Zakius Nandji, the area’s top health official, says humanitarian workers were deployed when news broke that people were dying and some were being rushed to hospitals. He says there is no doubt cholera is to blame.\n\n“Upon the reception of a distress signal from our team in the Bakassi health district, we came down to [the city of] Idabato, myself and my entire emergency response team,” Nandji said. “The situation on the ground really sends a pointer to the fact that we are in an outbreak of cholera.”\n\nNandji said six people had been reported dead and hundreds of suspected cholera sufferers were still in villages around Idabato. Civilians said they had buried six others before the medical team’s arrival. The actual death toll could be higher, because many live in remote locations, complicating efforts to get accurate health data.\n\nNandji urged people to be vigilant and report any cholera symptoms.\n\nBut the government says only 20 percent of the population visits hospitals. Most of them prefer traditional African medicine. Some complain that the only government hospital in Idabato is understaffed and lacks medication.\n\nRoland Ewane, a top Cameroonian official in Idabato, says Nigerians living in the region prefer to return to their country for health care. However, making the journey reduces chances of survival for cholera patients.\n\n“We have a population of about 40,000,” Ewane said. “They are mostly Nigerians. We have been carrying out sensitization campaigns [educating the population] on the necessity of using or the importance of using government services. One of them is the hospital. They do not come to the hospital. It is a big cry [to use hospitals].”\n\nThe Bakassi Peninsula is by the sea, but potable water is hard to find. Few have toilets and the local hospital struggles to handle epidemics.\n\nNigeria ceded full control of the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon in 2013, in keeping with a 2002 International Court of Justice ruling. Some 300,000 Nigerians live on the peninsula — approximately 90 percent of its population. The territory is rich in hydrocarbons and fisheries, but lacks basic social services.\n\nMost health workers trained by Nigeria to serve in the area returned to their country when Cameroon did not continue paying their salaries. Some also fled attacks by separatists fighting for the independence of Cameroon’s English-speaking regions from the French-speaking majority. Cameroon has faced difficulties replacing departed medical staff."

"La Cimbali’s coffee specialist Rob Ward reflects on his recent and very first trip to New York and his experience of the coffee scene and the New York Coffee Festival.\n\n“For my first visit to New York I guess I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I did also have some preconceived ideas of what I might find.\n\nIn my mind I imagined a very rushed pace of life, people without patience just wanting a quick coffee and no time to wait for individual hand poured speciality beverages, unlike the west coast scene which I had experienced in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. To a certain extent this is still very evident. Whilst I’m not dismissing bulk brew coffee, as much of the equipment when brewed right and stored for the correct periods of time can be equally delicious, it just lacks some of the theatre and interaction that you get in the brew bar and espresso based brewing techniques, of a more craft/artisan style café. That all being said, it was great to see that some of the big guns from the west coast and local craft roasters as well that are changing things and shaking up some of the preconceived ideas of what speciality coffee should be.\n\nWalking into the New York Coffee Festival was a great experience as it was housed in the 69th Regiment Armoury building, which built in the early 1900’s is still used to house the headquarters of the New York Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment. The building provided a great open space for the festival. Compared to the London Coffee Festival, New York is only in its first year and infancy but still it had a great showing of New York’s artisan coffee scene including Toby’s Estate, Gregory’s Coffee and the familiar face from the UK – Workshop Coffee. Dough doughnuts were also at the festival and I took opportunity to visit one of their sites in Manhattan. Whilst there I was treated to a beautiful intelligentsia coffee with the more ‘bread like’ texture of dough. It is up there as one of my three favourite donut companies which includes Blue Star in Portland, and Voodoo Portland.\n\nThere was certainly a buzz around the venue at the New York Coffee Festival, with anticipation from the exhibitors about promoting this festival and engaging with trade. But also importantly, with the general public who consume and are ready for the coffee education on offer at events like the New York and London Coffee Festivals, giving all those involved a good engagement with the customer and really showing some of the best in artisan coffee. Cimbali US were there too and it was great to catch up with Louis and others from the team out there and drink some Ethiopian Sidamo brewed on the Faema E61, which also made a fine stance on the Espresso Martini Stand!\n\nOn the last day I caught up with Vic & Rob at Katz Deli (from when Harry met Sally ‘I want what she had’ fame) . They had been running the US Coffee masters at the festival along with the newly crowned champion Ben Morrows from St Ali in Australia. They were really pleased with the inaugural event and along with Ludovic and Michella from Allegra are looking forward to next years, as am I.”\n\nFor me now the focus will be all on HOST which is just a week away and then straight back to the UK and into Cup North!"

"THE KISHI Tales from Esowan, Book 1\n\nJ. Keith Jackson narrates an epic African fantasy featuring warriors, demons, and monks-in-training. Amana has come to the village of Bajok to learn from a reclusive master. He ends up staying when it becomes clear that there is a supernatural threat to the population. Jackson creates a vibrant cast of characters, including somewhat feckless Amana, brave warrior Nya, wiley elder Uzoma, and noble fighter Kojo. While the plot occasionally suffers from a lack of focus, Jackson is not deterred from bringing the dangerous and breathtaking world of Esowan to life, clearly reveling in the chance to do so.

They address a real problem … and make it worse.\n\nThe same thing happens in Hollywood. Perfectly good stories, intriguing ideas and talented actors are put together on a well-intentioned project … then a triple dose of liberalism turns the whole movie to dung.\n\nThe brilliant comedienne and Oscar-nominated actress Melissa McCarthy stars as a wild-child identity thief living high on the hog in Florida, when suddenly one of her victims – played by Jason Bateman – shows up to drag her back to Denver to pay for her crimes.\n\nHijinks naturally ensue on an everything-goes-wrong road trip that actually includes a redemptive storyline about caring for others and learning to do the right thing.\n\nBut then the liberal agenda starts.\n\nThe film begins by advancing the leftist, class-warfare narrative that successful business owners are heartless, greedy jerks who enjoy messing over their employees, especially the middle-class middle managers (the movie even makes a point of twice telling audiences exactly how much Bateman's character makes and portraying as fabulous wealth an offer he receives to make Obama's magic income number of $250,000).\n\nThat could be a minor matter, a forgivable point, because it's good comedic fodder.\n\nBut then, the movie decides to give us an extended scene about a wild and kinky ménage à trois moment, followed by an obnoxiously lusty one-night stand – all played for laughs, of course.\n\nOh, and speaking of morals …\n\nThe movie then beats audiences over the head with a scene in which the concept of \"traditional values\" are intentionally lampooned as racist, xenophobic, homophobic and practically Klan-like. That's when the movie just went too far.\n\nWhen is it a good idea to just insult and belittle your audience for holding \"traditional values\"? Oh, yes, when you're in lefty land.\n\nAs a film itself, \"Identity thief\" is occasionally funny, if a little lost in terms of what it's trying to do. McCarthy turns in a fantastic performance. The moral of the story is even sweet and touching.\n\nAll the good intentions are there.\n\nBut then the liberal agenda gets its hooks into it – and another funny movie, another good story, another great performance are all destroyed by a phenomenon all-too common in Hollywood, the ruinous effects of a liberal agenda."

"Blurb\nLena Diaz launches her thrilling new series featuring the undercover vigilantes of EXIT Inc. with a skilled operative putting his life—and his heart—on the line for a woman in trouble...\n\nWhen Sabrina Hightower awakens to the sound of an intruder, she figures he's there to rob her, murder her— or worse. She doesn't expect to be carried off by a muscle-bound stud with male-model good looks... or that he came to rescue her.\n\nMason Hunt became an enforcer with EXIT Inc. to eliminate the bad guys—terrorists, militia groups, all those who would do America harm. But his latest target is innocent. If EXIT could lie about sultry, strong-willed Sabrina, what darker truths might they be concealing?\n\nGoing rogue in the rugged North Carolina Mountains, Mason risks everything to keep Sabrina close, especially now that EXIT's lethal assassins are chasing them down. The heat is on... but it's nothing compared to the slow burn of seduction.\n\nShe wasn’t sure who was more surprised. Her, because he’d managed to break into her home, again, in spite of three bodyguards. Or him, because she was naked.\nOne thing was for sure, he wasn’t shy about enjoying the view. His dark gaze roamed leisurely over the upper swells of her breasts crushed against his chest, before he looked her in the eyes. The sudden pressure against her belly told her he wasn’t unaffected by her nakedness.\nHer face flamed and she tried to tell him to let her go, but her words came out muffled against his hand. His erection continued to harden against her belly, and since that’s where her hands were trapped between them, she was literally getting a handful of him.\nA flash of heat swept through her, making her lower belly clench and her toes curl against the floor. To her shame, her body was just as turned on as his, and the shiver that swept through her was just as telling as his erection.\nHis mouth curved in a knowing smile.\nDamn him.\nHe bent down toward her. Was he going to kiss her? She hoped so. Because this time a Kevlar vest wouldn’t save him from her bite.\nBut instead of kissing her, he pressed his lips close to her ear, his warm breath tickling the fine hairs on her neck.\n“We need to talk,” he whispered, his lips brushing against her skin, raising goose bumps. “I’m going to move my hand. If you scream and alert the guards downstairs, I may be forced to kill them in self-defense. Neither of us wants that. I just want to talk to you. That’s all. Do you understand?”\nHe waited, his body pressed against hers so tightly that she could feel his heartbeat against her breasts. She didn’t doubt what he’d said. If she screamed, he really would kill the men tasked with protecting her. She slowly nodded, letting him know she understood and that she wouldn’t make a sound.\n“Only whispers,” he said. “We’re going to have a calm, quiet conversation.”\nShe nodded again.\nHe moved back, just enough to pull his hand away from her mouth.\nShe licked her dry lips.\nHis erection pulsed against her hands.\nPart of her was so mortified that she wanted to crawl under the bed and hide. The other part, a part she didn’t even recognize, wanted to stroke that impressive erection through his jeans just to see how he’d react.\n“Please,” she whispered, refusing to meet his gaze, afraid he’d see the confused jumble of fear and desire roiling inside her. “Let me get dressed.”\nSurprisingly, he immediately stepped back.\nThe heat in his gaze reminded her that she was still standing there, completely naked. She ran into the bathroom for a towel.",

"Author Info\nOriginally from Kentucky, romantic suspense author Lena Diaz also lived in California and Louisiana before settling in Northeast Florida with her husband, two children, and a Shetland Sheepdog named Sparky. A Romance Writers of America Golden Heart® finalist, she's won the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense and has been a finalist for the National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award. She loves to watch action movies, garden, and hike in the beautiful Tennessee Smoky Mountains.\n\n\nSince the first book I read of Lena Diaz I was hooked. Her books have the humor that I love so much with characters that make me think of them, even after the book is done. Exit Strategy is book one of Exit Inc series. I will tell you right now there was a lot about this story that I liked, and some that I didn't. But as a whole it was a good book. So lets talk about the good and bad of Exit Strategy!\n\n\nI loved the characters, well at least the good guys. Haha! You won't be able to not feel for Sabrina. What she's gone through with her family will just break your heart. You'll have to read the book to know just what happened to her family. Yes, I'm mean sometimes. Let's talk about Mason. Oh Mason! You will not be able to not like him. He's such a good guy. Really cares about doing what's right. He's the perfect hero.\n\nAs you can tell I pretty much loved everything about this book. I do have a few things that I did. I didn't care for the fact that the bad guys got away with what they did. Of course I know they have to get away with it so that the series will continue, still doesn't make it easy. I wanted to hurt them myself.\n\nMy biggest issue with the book is that it's a new series but if you hadn't read at least Take the Key and Lock Her Up you might feel that you are missing something. The main story thread, the Exit group, starts in Take the Key and Lock Her Up. Now I know that this won't bother everyone. But I had to mention it for those that it will bother. There's only four books in the Deadly Games Series so I would just start with them. Believe me when I say that you'll like them and it will be worth it.\n\nTo conclude even with my few issues I really enjoyed the story and can't wait for No Exit which comes out January 26th, 2016. A long wait but now you really have time to read the other series."

"This September Touma will be making available a 3 figure vinyl set called Mephist Fiesta. Here is the story on these little guys as told to Previews Magazine:\n\nZugan, a worker in Hell, collects evil souls to fuel the fires of Hell. Together with Dead, his up-and-coming apprentice, as well as Becky, they are on a constant mission to battle the fires of Hell which are burning out of control. Zugan stands 7\" tall, while Dead and Becky are each 5\" tall. Taken together, they are ready to have a party in the depths and fires of the underworld!\n\nThe set carries a suggested retail price of $90 and will be available this September.\n\nThe odd thing about this is that these toys have not only been released once before, but are on clearance in the Play Imaginative online store. This could mean that if you missed out on buying them in your local stores once before, you might be getting a second shot at them."

"One of these items is a non-fighting (i.e. sharp or semi sharp) sword fitted with bone or antler fittings. After having this on my list for some time (the blade alone has been lurking forgotten in my shed for over 6 years) I finally got around to doing it over these last couple of weekends. While the entire sword is not based on a particular find, the various components are.\n\nThe pommel is a 5 lobed example that is very similar to a find from York made of whalebone. The cross-guard is again based on a find from York (originally in antler) and the blade is a fairly generic 10th century style, tapering along its length and with a shortened fuller. The grip itself is of ash bound in leather. While the above photo shows the overall sword, the fittings are over lit, so here are some close-ups to show better details.",

"I am aware that despite both of these find coming from the same city and both being of approximately the same date, it is highly unlikely that they were ever paired or even that two bone fittings would be used together (though not impossible). However, it is how they are displayed in the museum, and as they look nice as a pair I thought a little bit of artistic license wouldn’t matter.\n\nDespite the obviously fragile nature of dry bone, it seems to cause little issue these fittings, because despite being structurally similar to lamellar bone, antler is about 3 times as strong and much less brittle (hence making comb teeth and riveting it). Additionally, whalebone acts and works more like antler than the bones of land mammals. So both the cross-guard and pommel would be able to withstand blows in combat without shattering. They would certainly be chipped and would maybe give up after repeated blows to the same place (such as the cross-guard near the tang), but otherwise they would be suitable on a combat blade.\n\nDue to the lack of weight below the hand, the sword is not ideally balanced and does have a tendency to want to “hack”, making it quite difficult to control or pull without wrists like Thor. This does not make it an elegant weapon at all, it is ill-suited to quick movements and parries, but it is rather good at the neck or shoulder crushing downward swipe.\n\nSo now that that later period sword has been finished (except possibly some silver wire recessed into the pommel), that is one thing off my list. However, it did make me add something else – now that I have a later period sword, why not do an earlier style blade with horn fittings? 😀\n\nSomething I am occasionally asked about regarding small bone items is the provenance for tools such as leather stamps and creasers. The problem with these archaeologically is that when wooden handles decay, you will be left with a tiny sliver of bone that can be easily overlooked or misidentified as waste. This is compounded by the fact that you don’t find a “leather worker’s” grave with all the tools nicely bundled around them. In fact this only ever seems to happen with smiths of one kind or another. This means that you would be looking for discard, lost or broken tools in urban sites rather than in helpful collections in burials, which obviously means that the chance of finding something plummets.\n\nHowever, in a similar vein, we know that bone and antler stamps have been used for thousands of years to decorate pottery and stamps made from tines have been found on Anglo Saxon sites (and nothing stops these from being used on leather as well). So the idea of a small set of bone or antler tools for embossing or tooling leather is really not particularly far fetched.\n\nThe reason behind that little discussion is that I was recently asked to make an assortment of tools for a leather worker in my group. The aim was to assemble a small selection of tools that with time and skill could be used to create the majority of the known examples of tooled leather. Obviously modern style multi-part wheels, swivel tools etc were out and we were just looking at simple creasers and such.\n\nIn the end this is what I came up with, partially based on my own experience of leather working and partially based on what my groupie needed. There are an assortment of different wedge shaped blades, a R&D stamp, square and triangular stamps.",
null,
"Below is a close up view of the stamps. The ring-and-dot stamp has a metal pin as it was easier to make an even ring that way rather than trying to hand-cut out the circle and leave a central bone pin (it also makes it stronger).\n\nAnother close up, this time of the wedges/creasers.",
null,
"These are just a basic set and once I do some further research into the patterns I am sure that other tool shapes will be come apparent as being useful."

"This week has been a good week for books as the ones I read were very good and I seemed to be giving out 5 stars left, right and center. Anyone who reads my blog knows I don’t invest much time in the star system and I don’t award stars on my blog (you can see my star scores on Goodreads and Amazon though) just what I thought of the book.\n\nUntil You (Fall Away Series Book 1.5) by Penelope Douglas\n\nThis novel contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+.\n\nHave you ever been so angry that hitting things felt good? Or so numb that you actually felt high? The past few years have been like that for me. Traveling between fury and indifference with no stops in between.\n\nSome people hate me for it, while others are scared of me. But none of them can hurt me, because I don’t care about anything or anyone.\n\nI love her so much that I hate her. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn’t trust her or anyone else.\n\nSo I hurt her. I pushed her away.\n\nBut I still need her. The sight of her centers me, and I can pool all of my anger into her. Engaging her, challenging her, bullying her…they are my food, my air, and the last part of me that feels anything human.\n\nBut she left. She went to France for a year, and came back a different girl.\n\nNow, when I push, she pushes back.\n\nI think if you loved the first book you definitely need to read this one. It would be sacrilegious not to.",

"My name is Dr. Adeline Glen. Due to a genetic condition, I can’t feel pain. I never have. I never will.\n\nThe last thing Boston Detective D.D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in her ear… She is later told she managed to discharge her weapon three times. All she knows is that she is seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to return to work.\n\nMy sister is Shana Day, a notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen. Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more people while in prison than she did as a free woman.\n\nSix weeks later, a second woman is discovered murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same calling cards from the first: a bottle of champagne and a single red rose. The only person who may have seen the killer: Detective D.D. Warren, who still can’t lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything.\n\nOur father was Harry Day, an infamous serial killer who buried young women beneath the floor of our home. He has been dead for forty years. Except the Rose Killer knows things about my father he shouldn’t. My sister claims she can help catch him. I think just because I can’t feel pain, doesn’t mean my family can’t hurt me.\n\nD.D. may not be back on the job, but she is back on the hunt. Because the Rose Killer isn’t just targeting lone women; he is targeting D.D. And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down:\n\nI have been a long-term fan of Lisa Gardner from when I read her first book years ago. I have kept up with the books and I loved this one.\n\nI really wanted/needed to read a decent crime thriller and this one fitted the bill. The legacy of a serial killer father and a murderous sister is only part of what Adeline Glen has to deal with. She suffers from a rare genetic mutation which means she cannot feel pain. She is also a psychiatrist who specialises in dealing with physical pain.\n\nWhen a killer with a similar MO to her dead and hurried father emerges Adeline’s world is put in a spin. Detective DD Warren is on the case despite being off work with an injury and she’s ready to chase down those leads with or without Adeline’s co operation.",

"Suffer The Children by Craig DiLouie\n\nFrom an acclaimed horror writer, a chilling tale of blood-hungry children who rise from the dead in this innovative spin on apocalyptic vampire fiction.\n\nSuffer the Children presents a terrifying tale of apocalyptic fiction, as readers are introduced to Herod’s Syndrome, a devastating illness that suddenly and swiftly kills all young children across the globe. Soon, they return from the grave…and ask for blood. And with blood, they stop being dead. They continue to remain the children they once were…but only for a short time, as they need more blood to live. The average human body holds ten pints of blood, so the inevitable question for parents everywhere becomes: How far would you go to bring your child back?\n\nI have never read this author before but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this book.\n\nA chilling and harrowing dystopian thriller about an awful parasite that affects children only, leading to their sudden death and subsequent resurrection. This disease sweeps the planet resulting in the death of a generation of children. The remaining adults then find they can bring their children back for short periods of time by feeding them blood, but what length will they go to for their children? How will this struggle with the parasite end?\n\nAn insightful and frightening horror thriller, not for the faint hearted.",

"The remoter parts of the English Fens are forlorn, lost and damp even in the height of summer. At Iyot Lock, a large decaying house, two young cousins, Leonora and Edward are parked for the summer with their ageing spinster aunt and her cruel housekeeper. At first the unpleasantness and petty meannesses appear simply spiteful, calculated to destroy Edward’s equanimity. But when spoilt Leonora is not given the birthday present of a specific dolly that she wants, affairs inexorably take a much darker turn with terrifying, life destroying, consequences for everyone.\n\nI have loved reading Susan Hill’s other books and was happy to go back to a paperback just this once to read Dolly and I’m glad I did. Atmospheric and taut you know the story is going to get scary without too many words to spoil what’s coming in your imagination. This book is no exception, when his cousins rude and nasty behaviour results in some dire consequences, Edward isn’t spared the resulting payback.\n\nHaunting and hair-raising lay chilly, this is classically Susan Hill doing what she does best.\n\nWhen Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster–bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head–he knows things are bad. But they’re about to get far worse. Because he’s being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who inserted the implants? And why? And why is someone so desperate to kill him?\n\nAs Hall races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights–or bring about its total collapse.\n\nExtrapolated from actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind’s Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.\n\nA fast paced tech thriller which hits the ground running from page one and asks a very interesting question about mind reading and mind control of the internet. I loved the premise of this book and boy did it deliver! I didn’t want the book to end but couldn’t stop reading it.\n\nThe characters were well written, however I did find some of the dialogue stilted to include information to keep readers on track rather than authentic believable dialogue. This did not distract from this fast paced story of our protagonist on the run.\n\nDefinitely one to keep you hooked until the end and a must read for cyber geeks!",

"From Taylor Swift's seventh studio album, Lover, the music video of the same name features a setting known as the Lover House. The Lover House has played a pivotal role in the last few years due to the many theories it has sparked along with how it features many of Swift's prior albums. The lover house spans 9 rooms with each one representing one of her albums.\nThe albums present are:\nTaylor Swift (debut)",

"There are also two smaller rooms representing folklore and evermore.\nThe Lover music video alongside other media of the Lover House was studied carefully in order to translate the house into LEGO form in the best way possible. Most intricate details found in the Lover house can be found within the model. The model includes a light grey frame of the house which acts as a skeleton, and each room could be slid in and out to get a better and more easily accessible view of the contents within. Figures that would be included in this set would be Taylor Swift and her Lover, other figures could possibly be of them in different outfits which were featured throughout the music video.\nThe Lover House model would be a great display piece and a great play piece due to how scenes from the Lover music video could be recreated. Additionally, this model would make a great product due to Taylor Swift's current and increasing popularity, due to her just recently releasing her tenth studio album, Midnights. Many LEGO fans alongside Swifties would love to get a LEGO set that represents Taylor Swift along with her career."

"In rare bad news for Game of Thrones, the HBO giant suffered a slight decline in both Aus and NZ including dipping below 20m in demand expressions in Australia. On the flipside, however, this was still more than six times any other show and is the second highest score of the year, only falling behind last weeks mammoth total. With two episodes still left* of the shows final season, it is hard to see it losing top spot of the overall TV chart any time soon.\n\nOutside of Game of Thrones the biggest mover and shaker this week was Lucifer after airing its fourth season on Netflix it has shot straight to number one on the Digital Originals chart in Aus and number two in NZ, after not being in the top ten last week.\n\nThe series revolves around Lucifer Morningstar (Also known as the Devil, Satan etc.) played by Tom Ellis, who abandons Hell for Los Angeles where he runs his own nightclub and becomes a consultant to the LAPD. Although this moment of success almost didn’t happen after the show found itself on Fox’s cutting room floor after being cancelled before being saved by Netflix, due to an uproar from fans. Which is something it shares with TV Demand luminary Brooklyn Nine-Nine.\n\nJoining Lucifer as a new entry to the Overall TV charts (Aus) is The Big Bang Theory, which is gearing up for its season finale this week, which sees it charting in both countries after being seventh in NZ. The 12th and final season of the Chuck Lorre created show will finish in next weeks rating cycle so will be interesting to see how highly it rates on the Overall TV chart next week.",

"He was once a boy abandoned, left to make his own way in the world. She was a girl stifled by the demands of her family and constrained by the strict customs of Victorian society; a bird caged and without hope.Raised in two disparate worlds, with one fortune rising while the other tumbled, they might never have known each other.But when a disreputable old rogue dies unexpectedly and in … unexpectedly and in spectacular, explosive style, a chain of remarkable events is destined to draw these two strangers close— to the bemusement of one and the disgust of the other.\n\nThe last Will and Testament of Sir Mungo Lightfoot Mayferry McClumphy has gone astray, and a large number of claimants are fighting over a vast fortune.\n\nShe wants nothing to do with it, her grieving heart bereft of hope.\n\nHe is in the thick of it, a man of ruthless perseverance and— in her eyes— a dark, mercenary, unfeeling heart.\n\nDrawn together one Christmas, these two “Mortal Enemies” will have to find a way to put aside the strife and be civil. Whether or not they can survive the season remains to be seen.\n\nIf they also find hope and love along the way, it will surely be a Christmas miracle.\n\nAn excellent Victorian Christmas novella, featuring a determined, down-on-her-luck heroine, and a gruff lawyer hero who is more patient than she could have ever imagined. Super sweet and romantic, with Jayne Fresina’s trademark humor and charm. Not to be missed!\n\nThe author creates complex characters for a complex tale, but ties everything up neatly by the end of the story, along with a few surprises. Well written, you can’t help but to root for the hero and heroine to get together.\n\nI liked it–and then struggled a bit a few chapters later–but I’m so glad I stuck with the story, because it really unfolded into a wonderful, original historical romance with interesting characters, and a hero and heroine you root for. I’m looking forward to reading another book by the author!\n\nDash Deverell was abandoned by his mother immediately after she gave birth to him. You see, her husband is not Dash’s biological father, which was apparent from the baby’s looks. Soon, his father-in-name departed also, leaving Dash to be raised in a ramshackle fashion by his young widowed aunt, Emma. Dash never felt sorry for himself. He attended Cambridge, studied law, and became a successful attorney. His career path eventually led him to the case of the missing will of wealthy Sir Mungo Lightfoot Mayferry, who died thirty years ago, and whose family members have been fighting over his estate ever since then.\n\nDaisy Mayferry is now thirty years old, and is just about to start a new position as companion to Lady Audley. Her whole family is gone, with the exception of a surly nephew, who has been left in her care. Her father spent his whole life trying to prove that he was the rightful heir of Sir Mungo, and spent a fortune in legal fees, all for naught. Though the lawsuit continues, Daisy wants no part in it, as she saw firsthand the effect it had on her father. Daisy has more than one reason to hate Dash Deverell, the first being that he is on the opposing legal team, and time and time again quashed her father’s claims. Second, during Daisy’s one season, she had a suitor, Frederick, who was one of Dash’s close friends. Frederick’s father found Daisy unsuitable, and bullied Dash into using his influence to convince Frederick to give her up. These actions caused Daisy to declare years ago that Dash and she would from this day forward be “Mortal Enemies.”\n\nImagine Daisy’s shock when she arrives at her new position, only to find Dash Deverell in residence! It seems that Lady Audley is the eccentric aunt who raised Dash, and now lives in the dower house on the estate. Though they immediately butt heads, Daisy begins her life as companion to Lady Audley in her very strange household. Slowly, and little by little, Daisy begins to see another side to her mortal enemy. Dash is truly a kind and honorable man, one who doesn’t choose to flaunt the good things he’s done.\n\nI usually am not a fan of enemies-to-lovers as a trope, but The Snowdrop is so perfectly done, and is the epitome of the saying that things aren’t always what they seem. Without spoiling or revealing some of Dash’s actions over the years, I can only say that he is truly swoonworthy. His steadfastness and love are awe inspiring, and the man he became despite his sad birth is a testament to his character. I love this man, who appears aloof and self contained, but is a true romantic at heart. Daisy is stubborn, but strong. She has faced loss time and time again in her life, and somehow found the desire to persevere. Along with this beautiful and surprising romance, Aunt Emma is a pure delight, and there were some truly amusing moments. The Snowdrop earns a place on my keeper shelf, and I know it’s one that I’ll be reading again. The heart touching and unexpected love made this a joyful read, one I can wholeheartedly recommend to all lovers of romance. Jayne Fresina is an exceptional writer whose talents are truly underrated."

"“Our design philosophy focuses not on what we make, but how we make it”.\n\nThat’s the key takeaway from Satoru Tai, Nissan’s Global Executive Design Director, as he details how Japanese philosophies are an intrinsic part of Nissan’s DNA. It propels the idea that no matter where a Nissan vehicle is designed, produced or driven, it will always reflect and offer the rich Japanese way of catching things origins from Nissan’s home country. And after 80+ years, applying this philosophy globally has been a major pillar of Nissan’s success – as most recently showcased in the debut of the new all- electric Ariya coupé crossover.\n\nWhy is Japanese culture so interwoven?\n\nJapan has such a wealth of customs and valued traditions that they have naturally guided Nissan strongly from the outset. Yet European audiences may not be aware that Japan’s culture isn’t uniform throughout: each region has its own distinct differences.\n\nTake Kabuku for example, a term which roughly translates as “a bold, diverse expression that goes against common approach”. Satoru clarifies that “this is more Tokyo style. Nissan started from Yokohama in the Tokyo urban area. So Nissan’s history is deeply rooted in Kabuku.”\n\nFrom its local origins, the unconventional, daring and noble thinking synonymous with Kabuku is now something expressed worldwide through Nissan’s range. Soon, Kabuku‘s influences and value will be visible even more on the streets of Europe, via the all-new Ariya.\n\n“As an EV, it takes advantage of opportunities to repurpose and redesign. For example, the front grille has been reimagined as a ‘shield,’ taking on a new purpose of protecting technology while enabling higher levels of driver assistance”. Satoru adds that another key part of Kabuku is its customer impact: “[It’s all about] trying to create something new to please customers. So this key word should be applied for all of our lineup!”\n\nA combination of thinking\n\nHowever, it takes more than one philosophy to create a successful global vehicle. “Kabuku [ensures] uniqueness, but uniqueness is not enough. It has to be combined with Sei” clarifies Satoru. Defined as “the clever treatment of structures and details” – Sei encapsulates another deeply held Japanese custom: a love of craftsmanship that’s borne out of years and years of application, to arrive at the most beautiful results.\n\nSatoru explains that over hundreds of years, “Japanese craftsmen created very fine, accurate things. They repeated painting again, and again, and again, and they forged knives again and again” – demonstrating an endless pursuit of finesse and quality. “It’s not what you make finally, but how you make it” that counts, he clarifies.\n\nEven in the modern era, this unchanged spirit and attitude is evident in the meticulous design process of every new Nissan vehicle, all over the world. “Every day, even when you think you’re finished [with a car design], you have to work on it again,” explains Tai-San.\n\nThis idea will be all too familiar to the team at Nissan Design Europe based in London, who played a leading role in developing the Ariya’s concept. Here, the concept’s design went through endless refinements, each day becoming more sculpted and fine-tuned, until it received final sign-off by Nissan Global Design Center, in Japan. Satoru says it’s the ultimate expression of Sei: “Sei means you should improve every day. Then we can create a mastery – something truly special.“\n\nAuthenticity in an overseas setting\n\nAs Nissan has grown into a global company, you might think it would be difficult to ensure Japanese ideals are expressed authentically in foreign lands. But that depends on what authenticity means to you. Tai-San explains, “In Japanese history, we are not talking about always using specific designs or shapes or patterns. Instead, spirit is the important part. As long as you maintain the spirit, you can stay true to authenticity [anywhere].”\n\nMatthew Ewing, Vice President, Vehicle Engineering, Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE), describes how this spirit lives even among his teams on the other side of the world. “One of my favorite Japanese expressions is Utsuroi, meaning fluidity and asymmetry created by nature. This is reflected by our Design and Aerodynamics teams here in Europe as they fine tune a vehicle’s shape – making it as fuel efficient as possible, while retaining a strong, fluid sense of style. It then guides our engineering teams as they bring the emotions of Utsuroi to life during physical manufacturing, while ensuring components are delivered to the highest quality”.\n\nInspiration also doesn’t flow one way out of Yokohama. Teams continually learn from one another, sharing new ideas, and often cultural styles from Europe feed back to Japan.\n\nFor example, “European design is more sculpture and three dimensional” explains Satoru. “Whereas Japanese culture sees things more two dimensionally – as shown by our love of animation.” When both styles are combined in harmony, the result can be pretty spectacular. “The exterior of the Ariya is very three dimensional with its highly sculpted profile” Satoru notes. “But the interior feeling with a flat floor which is very two dimensional creates a, welcoming, comfort and open feeling.”\n\nThis demonstrates that while Nissan’s philosophical underpinnings originate in Japan, it’s their combination with outside ideas that leads to greater success. As Satoru highlighted at the beginning, it’s how these ideas are applied that are important, no matter where you are.\n\nThese philosophies can even be guiding principles in your own day-to-day life. “Personally, my character is a Kabuku character,” says Satoru. “I am always thinking, how can I be trying to create something different? Even when I see something really nice, I think, how could I do it differently?”"

"Jesus is both God and the “Son of God”\n\nWhat does it mean to say that Jesus is the “son of God”? If you are like most people I talk with, you will say it means, “Jesus is God.” This is where we run into a problem.",
null,
"Yes . . . Jesus is God manifested in the world.\n\nNo . . . the phrase “son of God” itself does not inherently imply deity.\n\nBefore explaining more of what I mean, I want to first explain why this conversation is even necessary. Then, I suggest a few passages that should tip up off to the fact that something is amiss. In the next post, I’ll dig directly into the biblical text.\n\nFour Reasons Why It Matters\n\nLet me state four reasons why I’m starting this new series on the “son of God.”\n\nFirst, there is no other way that to say it bluntly. In my experience, most evangelicals I meet don’t know what the phrase “son of God” means. I’m sure that sounds like a gross understatement. It’s not. You will understand why as the series progresses.\n\nSecond, there are practical consequences to this discussion. We are not talking about “mere theology.” Missionaries and pastors need to consider the implications of their ministry and preaching. I’ll elaborate more in a coming post.\n\nThird, the discussion is closely tied to one’s view of Scripture. If we think that “son of God” refers to Christ’s deity, then we may not have as high a view of Scripture as we might think. I’ll touch on this topic in a later post.\n\nFourth, the Bible makes a big deal of the fact that Jesus Christ is the “son of God.”\n\nJohn wrote his gospel “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31).\n\nIn 1 John 5:13, he similarly writes, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.”\n\nJohn 19:7 succinctly states the reason Jewish leaders sought to kill him, “The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.”\n\nIs Jesus the only “son of God”?\n\nThere are hints that we have previously run amiss. In his book Jesus the Son of God, even D. A. Carson states that “son of God” has a variety of meanings. (He has posted a free excerpt of his book here). Carson’s book seeks to defend Jesus’ divinity.\n\nIn the process, he notes that other people and beings are also called God’s son(s):\n\nJesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, says that peacemakers are “sons of God” (Matt 5:9).\n\nLikewise, Paul in Rom 8:14 states, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”\n\nAgain, my point is not at all to refute Christ’s divine nature. This is a critical doctrine for the church. For now, I simply want to raise the question: Does the phrase “son of God” imply “deity”?\n\nIt is very possible for someone to rightly teach that Jesus is God but wrongly neglect to preach Jesus as the “son of God” (biblically understood).\n\nI hope this series helps us avoid that problem.\n\nApril 7, 2014 A Gospel Video from HonorShame.com\nRecent Comments\n0 | Leave a Comment\nBrowse Our Archives\nget the latest from\nJackson Wu\nSign up for our newsletter\nPOPULAR AT PATHEOS Evangelical\n1",

"Can you please verify that Kingdom Tribute chance (w/Guild bonus) is working as intended?\n\n16 collects so far. Since there is no distinction between kingdoms (as I’m not looking at gold/glory), we can treat that as 16*27 = 432 individual trials. On those collects I totaled 91 kingdoms sending tribute.\n\nSo I’m pretty sure the real value is 21.2%. I’ll keep tracking for a few days to build a larger sample size though.\n\nWhat spurred this was one day receiving 10 Kingdoms in Tribute, and being surprised.\n\nI like your theory, although I wonder why they are so stingy with the Tribute bonus if it’s so relatively insignificant.\n\nMultiplicative makes more sense though. If you have a level 1 kingdom with 0 stars, it has a 1% chance. You wouldn’t expect that to jump to 7%.\n\nIn that sense yes (or “perhaps” at least ;)), but if it is really so it’s the only place in this game where percentages are calculated in such way. Everywhere else it simply adds up. So a bit more thorough explanation would be welcome…\n\nWe now have a ton of evidence across multiple threads (Kingdom Tribute - Is Guild Tribute Chance Bonus being accounted for? Bug?, plus my own data that I’ve been collecting but hadn’t published yet) that the bonus is multiplicative. I agree that it’s incredibly misleading. It’s also kind of pitiful compared to the yellow statue bonus.\n\nI am not sure one additional gem every three collections (and 3.2 tribute points in bonus tribute each time) is equal to 5.4 tribute points every time you collect. It does provide another way to compare how much the devs think a single gem is worth: 6.6 tribute points (165 gold, 27 souls, or 6.6 glory).\n\nMaybe I should amend my request to “Please label the bonus accurately.”\n\ncould this be a bug with intended to be a +6% but turned out calculated wrong on development side?\n\nIt is possible. We’d need to ask @Sirrian or @Nimhain or @Saltypatra for clarification though.\n\nMight be a separate issue, but are we sure tributes are calculating correctly? This seems to have changed dramatically in the past week or so.\n\nAnyone else having similar experiences?\n\nLooking normal to me. I started recording all my tributes when I saw this thread.\n\nAll 27 kingdoms at level 10 and at least 3-stars, in a guild with 5% tribute chance bonus.",
null,
"Compared with Rasper’s data, I appear to be on a lucky streak.\n\nToday has been abysmal, last 10 collects I have a total of 44 kingdoms.\n\nI have a feeling this isn’t working as expected as well, my tracking does not fit within the % range, also low 20% for this.\n\nRandom is random. I know I’m in an unlucky run atm (of the last 50 I have 5 that were just 1 kingdom, and another 5 that were just 2). I remember getting a few 13s and even a 17 so things can turn around.\n\nHere is my dataset\n\nCombining my data with @SirCookie\n\nJust a reminder that my guild’s statue is at 5%, not 6% like yours.\n\nBut yeah, I think we’re pretty confident now that it’s a multiplicative and not additive bonus.\n\nthe difference between my estimated 21.2% and your 21.0% should be minimal. Amusing however that you got 23 more kingdoms, in 4 less attempts, with a lower % chance\n\nClearly, the RNG deity is just making up for your 17 kingdom tribute, which is all the more lucky at 21.2% instead of 26%!\n\n(at least until the next kingdom comes out).\n\nyeah, that was a Once in a lifetime event. I’m going to track my tributes till I have 100, hoping the rng evens out, should bring the margin of error down to +/- 1.5%"

"“I just try to let the tunes lead the way” – Miles Kane on his latest album, ‘Change the Show’\n\nThe latest effort from Birkenhead-born indie rock giant Miles Kane, entitled Change the Show, marks his fourth solo album since releasing Colour of the Trap back in 2011. I spoke with Miles ahead of the release, as he reflected on his previous work and gave us some insight into the production of this fantastic new album.\n\nIn many ways, Change the Show can be viewed as a departure from the heavy indie sound Kane became known for on his most popular tracks (such as ‘Rearrange’ or ‘Come Closer’). The new album tends to have a much more mature sound. Commenting on this development in his trademark sound, Kane said “I try to just let the tunes lead the way with it. Demoing it up and recording it, I was still doing tunes that were a bit more heavy or a bit more glammy, but then the ones that were a bit more in this world just seemed to sort of resonate more with me. It became clear to make it all like this.”. Whilst the album is not a million miles away from his previous work, Change the Show definitely has a more suave, classy style to it, with influences of soul and Motown present throughout. The inclusion of horns on tracks such as ‘Don’t Let It Get You Down’ came as a welcome inclusion to the new LP, Miles commented, “It’s probably a bit less aggressive than the last one but it’s still upbeat and stuff. I think as a collective of tunes, the order of it and the way they go into each other it works really well.”. The record does very much feel like it is an album, as opposed to a collection of songs, it almost dictates that it should be listened to start to finish rather than dipping in and out. As Miles said, it flows very well from song to song and the journey through the album is a very pleasant one.\n\nChange the Show is the fourth solo studio album released by Kane, his first album Colour of the Trap was released back in 2011 on Columbia Records. Reflecting on his solo career, he said, “I’d like to think my writing process has changed a lot – but whether it’s this album or the last album, I feel like I have that same feeling as I did when I did my first album. Every album I make I feel like it’s my first one. This album compared to that one, I’d like to think it’s moved on a bit, it’s cohesive and it’s its own little world.”. Previous to his solo projects, Miles fronted the indie band The Rascals, who received critical praise in the NME and supported Arctic Monkeys during their 2007 tour, “When I was younger and I was in the Rascals and Flames, that’s how I learnt my craft”. Miles has seen some great success throughout his solo work, with two top ten albums in Don’t Forget Who You Are (2013) and Coup de Grace (2018) – with Change the Showlikely to add that list. In addition to his solo work, though, Kane has also witnessed success with other projects such as The Last Shadow Puppets; his duo project with Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys fame. Asked about what he likes about working on solo projects versus working with a band, Kane explained, “When we do the Puppets – that’s its own sort of thing, I love that – a duo – I like a partnership. Even the thing I’ve done with Corine [Corine Bailey Rae] on this record, there’s something about duos that I really like. Even if it’s just a song, that kind of battle between two people or the back and forth – that’s something I enjoy a lot. I mean I love writing tunes on my own and recording with people; I did this album with Dave and Oscar from Sunglasses For Jaws and they’re an amazing drummer and bass player so it’s almost like being in a band when you’re making it. It’s still that aesthetic, I guess, but just no nonsense really.”.\n\nIn addition to this new album, Miles also featured on ‘Dealer’, a recent single by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, “We did that tune a while ago, there was a few tunes done and I love that tune. I think it that was one of those tunes that felt so unique at the time.” said Miles of the track. Whilst he did say the pair have recorded more songs together, so far ‘Dealer’ has been the only one to see the light of day. The single has proved to be incredibly popular, with over 30 million streams on Spotify. On the reaction to their song, Kane said “Seeing the reaction it’s had, all the streams and all that, it’s blown my mind to be honest.”, he puts the popularity of the track down to its unique nature in comparison to the rest of Del Rey’s work, “It’s an intense tune and I think where she takes that song – no one’s ever heard her sing like that before. She really lets go and rips on it and I think that’s what makes it, it’s mind blowing.”.\n\nFor depressingly obvious reasons, Miles has been forced to postpone his UK tour to May, which will see him play 16 dates across the country. Speaking on how it feels to be back playing live shows after so long, the artist said, “I can’t wait, to be honest. We had a little taste of it at the end of the summer, we did a couple of little festivals and one little gig – so the carrot’s been dangled. I’d play anywhere right now.”. Known for his exciting and energetic live performances and armed with a brand-new album full of effortlessly cool tracks, the tour is certainly not one to be missed. Kane will be visiting the O2 Academy in Leeds on Sunday the 29thMay, tickets are available from the artists’ website."

"Today Michael J. Martinez joins us to talk about his new novel, The Venusian Gambit: Book Three of the Daedalus Series. Here is the publisher’s description:\n\nIn the year 2135, dangerous alien life forms freed in the destruction of Saturn’s moon Enceladus are making their way towards Earth. A task force spearheaded by Lt. Cmdr. Shaila Jain is scrambling to beat them there while simultaneously trying to save crewmember Stephane Durand, who was infected during the mission to Saturn and is now controlled by a form of life intent on reopening a transdimensional rift and destroying the human race. But Jain doesn’t realize that the possessed Stephane has bigger plans, beaming critical data to other conspirators suspiciously heading not for Earth, but for Venus…\n\nIn 1809—a Napoleonic era far different from our own—the French have occupied England with their Corps Eternélle, undead soldiers risen through the darkest Alchemy. Only the actions of Lord Admiral Thomas Weatherby and the Royal Navy have kept the French contained to Earth. But the machinations of old enemies point to a bold and daring gambit: an ancient weapon, presumed lost in the jungles of Venus.\n\nNow, Weatherby must choose whether to stay and fight to retake his homeland or pursue the French to the green planet. And Shaila must decide if it’s possible to save the man she loves, or if he must be sacrificed for the good of two dimensions. In the dark, alien jungles of Venus, humanity’s fate in both dimensions hangs in the balance—forcing past and present to once again join forces against an ancient terror.",

"All those clichés about being a parent are true – it’s a tough job, but it’s the most rewarding thing I can possibly do. To see my daughter grow up into a very caring, loving, cool individual is the best thing ever, and all I can do is work hard to ensure I don’t mess that up.\n\nThe funny thing is, the fiction I grew up on really didn’t really reflect a parent’s perspective when it came to relationships. There’s a lot of stuff out there from the kid’s point-of-view – especially when said kid is rebelling against his or her parents, or one or both parents get fridged, sadly – but not much from the parent.\n\nI have a lot of favorite bits in The Venusian Gambit, but there’s a father-daughter moment there that tops them all, because I think it reflects that mix of love, pride and worry that parents have when regarding their kids – especially when the kids do something brave or selfless.\n\nOn Venus, Lord Admiral Thomas Weatherby needs to convince the Venusian lizard-aliens (yep, just roll with it) to side with him against the French in 1809. However, he does not have the language skills to make the proper ritual introduction – one slip, and the Venusians will kill him where he stands.\n\nHis daughter, Elizabeth, has been encouraged from an early age to make the most of her mind, and is a self-taught expert in both the language and culture of alien species among the Known Worlds – including those of the Venusians. Naturally, she promptly volunteers to take her father’s place, even though the ritual requires personal blood-letting in addition to the proper verbiage.\n\nAs you might imagine, Weatherby immediately dismisses the notion of his daughter taking on such a dangerous task. Yet there’s nothing for it – she’s the best person for the job, and the most knowledgeable. It’s up to her to say the words, draw the blade across her hand and spill her blood to placate the Venusians – because not only is England itself at stake, but the entire multiverse as well.\n\nElizabeth understands the risks and the stakes, and she wants to do it. And Weatherby has no choice but to stand aside and allow her to make that terribly risky but incredibly important choice.\n\nMy daughter is only just turned 11, and naturally I’m working assiduously to ensure we can all avoid such life-and-death perils here in the suburbs. But I can see her grow up daily, making her own decisions to be kind, to be helpful, to pursue her interests as she sees fit. She’s even-tempered (as much as tweens can be), responsible and, I think, a genuinely good person. A father’s bias, perhaps, but I’m sticking to it.\n\nSo when Lord Weatherby watches Elizabeth make her way to the ritual circle, knife in hand, I may not be able to relate 100%, but I can certainly feel for him. There’s pride and terror and love, bound in a knot in his gut, and despite the stakes, his first instinct is to just take Elizabeth away from the danger – even if it means allowing Napoleon to win.\n\nAs a fellow father, I feel a bit bad for putting Weatherby through all that – as bad as I can feel regarding a fictional character of my own making, at any rate. But I also feel a lot of shared pride in Elizabeth’s intelligence and courage, in her ability to do the right thing despite the cost.\n\nWhile I certainly hope my kid is never in such a precarious spot, life is going to throw curve balls at her. And while I highly doubt she’ll have to make choices involving blood-letting alien introductory rituals, I can only hope that I’m giving her the right stuff, whatever that stuff is, to make good choices.\n\nSo that’s my favorite bit among bits in The Venusian Gambit. I think we all want our kids to be safe and happy, but that’s not always going to be the case. All I can do, like Weatherby, is to raise a kid who’s going to do the right thing when the time comes.\n\nMichael J. Martinez is the author of The Venusian Gambit, the final installment of the Daedalus trilogy, as well as other assorted bits of fiction. More importantly, he’s a husband and a dad. He can be found online at http://www.michaeljmartinez.net and on Twitter at @mikemartinez72.\n\n3 thoughts on “My Favorite Bit: Michael J. Martinez talks about THE VENUSIAN GAMBIT”"

"The infantry used by the Trade Federation had several major shortcomings that were carefully revisited by the battle droids’ designers. From that research came the Super Battle Droid, a bulkier, stronger, and more advanced version of the standard mechanical soldier. The Super Battle Droid requires no overriding command signal to operate, and thus has a limited degree of independence. They are fearless and tireless, and will run at full speed into combat, their cannons extended, firing until they have reduced their targets to smoldering ruins.\n\nThe Sixth Scale Super Battle Droid collectible figure is based on its appearance in the Geonosis™ arena battle. The Star Wars figure features a newly developed mechanical structure with stunning metallic paint applications, a wide range of articulations, and a sand-themed display stand!\n\nThis Battle Droid collectible is ready for action!

"The bears continue to dominate the markets following the aftermath of the Bitcoin Cash hard fork last month. The hard fork had a negative ripple effect on the rest of the cryptocurrency markets as prices nose-dived beyond initial support levels.\n\nOver the last 24 hours, most pairs turned red on price analysis charts, a phenomenon is seen throughout the week. Most altcoins took a heavy loss today, recording a double-digit percentage loss.",

"– Hillary Clinton: “If I’m President, We Will Attack Iran… We would be Able to Totally Obliterate Them.”:\n\nNote: This piece which is of extreme relevance to the US election campaign was originally published in July 2015.\n\nOn July 3, 2015, presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton addressed a hand-picked audience at a Dartmouth College campaign event. She lied calling Iran an “existential threat to Israel… I hope we are able to get a deal next week that puts a lid on (its) nuclear weapons program.”\n\nEven if we do get such a deal, we will still have major problems from Iran. They are the world’s chief sponsor of terrorism.\n\nThey use proxies like Hezbollah to sow discord and create insurgencies to destabilize governments. They are taking more and more control of a number of nations in the region and they pose an existential threat to Israel.\n\nWe…have to turn our attention to working with our partners to try to reign in and prevent this continuing Iranian aggressiveness.\n\nFact: US and Israeli intelligence both say Iran’s nuclear program has no military component. No evidence whatever suggests Tehran wants one. Plenty indicates otherwise.\n\nAs a 2008 presidential aspirant, she addressed AIPAC’s annual convention saying:\n\nThe United States stands with Israel now and forever. We have shared interests….shared ideals….common values. I have a bedrock commitment to Israel’s security.\n\n(O)ur two nations are fighting a shared threat” against Islamic extremism. I strongly support Israel’s right to self-defense (and) believe America should aid in that defense.\n\nI am committed to making sure that Israel maintains a military edge to meet increasing threats. I am deeply concerned about the growing threat in Gaza (and) Hamas’ campaign of terror.\n\nNo such campaign exists. The only threats Israel faces are ones it invents.\n\n“I support calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard what it is: a terrorist organization. It is imperative that we get both tough and smart about dealing with Iran before it is too late.”\n\nShe backs “massive retaliation” if Iran attacks Israel, saying at the time:\n\n“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”\n\nShe endorses using cluster bombs, toxic agents and nuclear weapons in US war theaters. She calls them deterrents that “keep the peace.” She was one of only six Democrat senators opposed to blocking deployment of untested missile defense systems – first-strike weapons entirely for offense.\n\nStephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at [email protected].\n\nHis new book as editor and contributor is titled “Flashpoint in Ukraine: US Drive for Hegemony Risks WW III.”\n\nVisit his blog site at sjlendman.blogspot.com.\n\n1 thought on “Hillary Clinton: “If I’m President, We Will Attack Iran … We Would Be Able To Totally Obliterate Them.””"

"Oni Press is an American independent comic book and graphic novel publisher based in Portland, Oregon.[1]\n\nIt was founded in 1997 by Bob Schreck and Joe Nozemack with the goal of publishing comics and graphic novels they would want to read. Unsatisfied with the material that was dominating the industry, they believed firmly that sequential art could be used to tell virtually any story. Schreck left the company in 1999, and Oni Press is currently owned by Nozemack, James Lucas Jones, and Charlie Chu.\n\nThe company name derives from oni, the Japanese word for the ogre demons popular in Japanese folklore.[3]",
null,
"Oni Press used the term \"real mainstream,\" coined by Stephen Holland of the UK comic shop Page 45,[4] to suggest that the subject matter it publishes is more in line with the popular genres of other media, such as thrillers, romances and realistic drama. For the most part, Oni Press avoids publishing superhero titles, unless interesting creators approach these concepts from an unusual angle. However, at one point, Rich Johnston of All The Rage reported that Oni Press and Marvel Comics were creating a publishing deal for Oni creators to work on Marvel superhero characters, but the deal fell apart.[5]\n\nOni Press had a film and television production unit, Closed on Mondays, headed by Eric Gitter and located in Los Angeles, California. However, in 2015, because of creative differences originating from the geographical distance between offices, Oni and Gitter parted ways, and Oni established a new film and production arm, Oni Entertainment.[7]\n\nOn May 8, 2019, Oni Press announced a merger with Lion Forge Comics into Polarity.[9]\n\nMain article: List of television series and films based on Oni Press publications"

"The latest group of members to join the FCC is, as always, an interesting bunch. The membership committee meets regularly to go through the applications and are always impressed by the diversity of the prospective members. As you would expect there’s a healthy mix of Correspondents and Journalists as well as Diplomats and Associates – and all have interesting tales to tell – so if you see a new face at the bar, please make them feel welcome. Below are profiles of just some of the latest ‘intake’.\n\nJean-Charles Viens: At 25 I established my first company in Hong Kong and for the past 20 years I have witnessed, first as an entrepreneur in import and export and now as an expert in wine communications, the unprecedented growth of the wine industry in Asia. I am deeply passionate about wine and other pleasures of the table and am always looking for quirky and unusual wines. I regularly travel to various wine regions around the world to learn the stories behind the labels. I am a Vinitaly Academy Italian Wine Ambassador and creator of a popular 30-part wine workshop series “How to Taste like a Pro”. When not talking about wine, I am writing about it. As Deputy Editor of Spirito di Vino Asia, a bi-monthly magazine I am dedicated to promoting a Culture & Quality “Wine-Style”. The magazine is widely distributed across Asia.\n\nErnest Chi: I graduated with a BA degree from the University of Winnipeg, Canada and began my career in journalism when I joined the Hong Kong Economic Journal in 1995 as a financial reporter. In 1999, I moved to Ming Pao, where I was promoted to finance news editor in 2003 before joining its general news desk in 2007.\n\nIn April 2011, I formed an investigative news team and soon after, we broke a story on the rigged purchase of Henderson Land’s luxurious residential 39 Conduit Road. Other investigations followed – notably one on voter rigging in 2011 and the following year two ‘illegal basement’ stories. The first led to the leading Chief Executive contender Henry Tang losing the 2012 election while the second report a few months later found an illegal structure in the Peak home of the newly-elected CE, CY Leung. I have often wondered whether the Chief Executive would be a different person if we had broken both stories at the same time.\n\nI left Ming Pao in 2013 and joined HK01 as Executive Chief Editor in charge of the News. The publication was launched with a mission to drive social change, restructure social values and drive media reform. And that’s what I’m trying to do.\n\nMichael Connelly: I have lived in Chicago, Beijing, and New York City before relocating to Hong Kong in May 2016 to assume the role of Editor in Chief at digital magazine Lifestyle Asia. My past experience includes colourful stints roaming the globe as online editor at Fodor’s Travel, reporting on the arts for New York magazine, and interning for the fiction editor of Playboy magazine. A speaker of Mandarin and Spanish, my passions include languages, cooking, 35mm photography, gardening and gin.\n\nBhavan Jaipragas: I’m the not-so-new Asia Correspondent for the South China Morning Post. I came on board last September, after spending a year at the LSE pursuing a postgraduate degree in politics and communication. I was previously a correspondent for Agence France-Presse in Singapore, my home country. At the Post, I work mainly with the newspaper’s This Week in Asia team and write about the politics, economy and foreign policy of the 10 ASEAN countries. I’m a wannabe polyglot and am ever endeavouring to polish my command of Tamil, my mother tongue, and Malay, my national language. I speak and understand (very) basic Mandarin.\n\nMalcolm Johnston: Originally from Northern Ireland, I arrived in Hong Kong in 1992 for a two-year contract and decided to stay. I am a Chartered Surveyor, specialising in major transport infrastructure projects, and have worked on projects in the UK, China, Hong Kong and the Middle East. I am head of quantity surveying with Arcadis Hong Kong / Macau. Married with two teenage daughters, I am a keen hill walker, whisky taster and novice beer brewer.\n\nSilver Kung, Ph.D: I consider myself a poetic traveller exploring life through space and time. I am a constant and enthusiastic student of world history and hope to travel to every corner of the world. I have an academic background encompassing engineering, finance and economics and have been working on cross-border and cross-fields projects for the past decade. I am an active environmentalist doing my best to preserve our planet to help make it a better place for our children. I was born in Taiwan but have lived in the US and Italy, I am currently based in Hong Kong and active in the Greater China region.\n\nMarian Liu: On a whim, I quit my job with American newspapers to take up my first overseas post with CNN in Hong Kong. As a Chinese American, I hope to bridge the gap between countries and cultures. I cover Asian entertainment with stories about K-pop, J-pop, Canto and Mando pop and Bollywood. I manage the sites and social media for CNNMoney International, Media, Tech, Travel and Entertainment. I will also be teaching multimedia journalism at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre at The University of Hong Kong. Previously, I covered entertainment as an editor, critic and writer for the Sun Sentinel, The Seattle Times, San Jose Mercury News and Source Magazine. I have an Executive MBA from the University of Washington and a Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Biology and Mass Communications from the University of California, Berkeley.\n\nCarlos Tejada: Nora and Carlos Tejada may have downed a few drinks at the FCC before. We are returning members after a smoggy five-year detour through Beijing, where our children learned Chinese and discovered that the line between pets and food can get blurry fast. We have also lived in Kansas, Dallas and New York. Nora, a freelance photographer, is from Towanda, Kansas. Carlos, the Asia business editor for The New York Times, is from southern Arizona. Like so many country people, we prefer life in the big city. We are both graduates of the University of Kansas.\n\nAlex Williams: Now 38, I have spent most of my adult life working in Asia – firstly in Beijing and Shanghai and now more recently living the dream in Wanchai. My early career penning bar and restaurants listings and selling advertising at That’s Beijing transitioned seamlessly into that of a commodities trader. I currently focus on trading large quantities of specialised sand around the world; life’s a beach! As a Brit with an American wife and a couple of ankle biters, we holiday in England and New England, or make the most of short breaks to Japan, Cambodia or Vietnam.\n\nThe one piece of the jig-saw that still needs to fall in place is setting up an AC/DC cover band here and thrashing out some foot-stomping tunes!"
