"Intel finally has a lot of details to share about its most powerful chip offering, the new Core i9 series that also happens to be the most powerful they have ever come up with.\n\nAs things stand at the moment, the Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition chip features 18 physical cores and 36 threads. That easily supersedes the Core i9-7900X that comes with 10 cores and 20 thread.\n\nThe Core i9-7980XE again will have a base clock speed of 2.6 GHz, which however isn’t anything to be too excited of. But then again, the chip is also designed to reach clock speeds of 4.2 GHz in Turbo mode or an even higher 4.4 GHz in single thread workload conditions.\n\nWhile the Core i9-7980XE will be the most powerful, others in the Core i9 family include Core i9-7920X, 7940X, and 7960X in increasing order of performance. Of these, the entry level Core i9-7920X will be hitting store shelves starting Aug 28 itself though the other won’t be a market reality before September 25.\n\nAlso, while the prices should be indicative of the capabilities of the Core i9 series chipsets, it, however, is significantly higher when compared to the AMD Threadripper 1950X. True, there are two cores less on the AMD offering but the price is lower by several counts."

"UPDATE 6/3 9:27 PST | Officials have confirmed three dead and one injured after the helicopter crash at Backwoods Music Festival last night. The sight seeing helicopter was carrying four people total. It’s not known whether the survivor was the pilot or an occupant.\n\nBreaking news out of Ozark, Arkansas, the final hours of the Backwoods Music Festival have been cancelled after a helicopter was reported missing just off site. The helicopter pilot and occupants have apparently been found with no injuries reported so far.\n\nWhether the helicopter crashed or went down, getting lost en route, remains unknown.\n\nHowever Backwoods Music Festival cancelling the final hours of the event and this tweet from G Jones appear to indicate it’s more serious than the sole reporting source might indicate.\n\nbackwoods festival- i’m really sorry to say my set has been cancelled due to the tragic helicopter crash. my heart goes out to everyone affected 🖤 love u all + hope to play for you soon\n\nStay tuned for more as this is a developing story.\n\nThe festival was headlined by REZZ and also featured Space Jesus, G Jones, Peekaboo and more.",

"On 23rd November 1963, a television series broadcast its first episode – the story of two teachers, who, worried about one of their students, follow her home and, rather than losing their jobs due to stalking a sixteen year old girl, end up being whisked away through time and space by a grumpy old man.",
null,
"Compare that first episode (it’s getting a repeat this Thursday if you’ve never seen it) with the most recent iteration of the show and so much has changed. But you would never doubt that it’s the same show – not just the fact that that old blue Police Box is still there, but the Doctor, despite wearing eleven different faces and sporting eleven different personalities, is still the same basic not-quite-human central character. And he’s as mesmeric as ever.\n\nUm, hang on, why am I banging on about Doctor Who on a mystery review blog? Let me explain…\n\nOne of the reasons for the fact that the show is still going strong – let’s gloss over the hiatus from 1987 to 2005, excluding 1996 – is that the format is so fluid, it can embrace any sort of story, including the odd mystery as well. I’m not talking about which person who looks like Antony Ainley in make-up is the Master pretending to be, or why the Daleks have to shout Exterminate! ten times before they shoot anyone (maybe their guns have a sonically-charged power source?) but proper whodunit-style mysteries.\n\nSo I’m going to take the opportunity to spend this week on the blog as a thank you to my favourite television show. It is no small exaggeration that those Target novelisations of the old television stories – a time before video recorders, let’s remember – was my doorway into reading. So it seems entirely appropriate that this is where my own small 50th anniversary tribute will live.\n\nSo, brace yourself for some reviews, both televisual, audio and even a book or two (if the book I’m thinking of is as much a mystery as I recall), with Robots, both shiny and hairy, Unicorns, the first of the Time Lords and Jeremy Clarkson’s soulmate. And if anyone can suggest other attempts at a mystery (and I’ll freely admit one of those, often considered a mystery, is a utterly rubbish one), do let me know.",

"After a Cincinnati Red's rookie picther started the season off strong, Topps announced that the first rookie redemption in Finest would be Johnny Ceuto.\n\nHowever, he has gone downhill since his first couple of starts making the selection look a little weaker now considering the great performances of rookies like Geovany Soto, Evan Longoria and Kosuke Fukudome.\n\nNevertheless, those stars have been ignored for the time being as another fantastic debut of a Reds player has prompted Topps to announce the second rookie redemption.\n\nJust one day after Jay Bruce made his Major League debut with three hits, two runs, two RBI, a double and a stolen base, Topps announced that he would be the second rookie redemption and that his card would be a certified autograph.\n\nThis just proves the risk that you take when selling or buying redemption cards. For the sellers of Redemption #2, they lost about $80, but the buyers have the world to gain if Bruce turns out to be the superstar he is expected to become.\n\nWith Finest, you are sure to get a star in the making for at least one season because these cards are released as rookies make an impact in the game.\n\nTopps hasn't released a Fukudome yet which makes me wonder if his card will be autographed as well. This will be my first ever baseball card prediction.\nPosted by Andrew Harner at 9:38 AM"

"Pius Okoligbo, 29, a commercial motorcyclist from Benue State, has been convicted for raping a 10-year-old girl (names withheld) in Mafoluku area of Oshodi, Lagos. The convict committed the crime in December 2016.\n\nBut he will spend only 26 years in jail because the judge who heard his case was lenient as the law provides for life jail for rape in Lagos State. forcing me for sex The state Criminal Code Law (2011) in Section 258 (1) states that “any man who has unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman or girl, without her consent, is guilty of the offence of rape and liable to imprisonment for life”.\n\nThe sentencing of Okoligbo by a Lagos State High Court, Moloney, last week Tuesday, was seen as a victory for females, especially the girl-child who is vulnerable to all forms of abuse. Mr Kingsley Mbachi, the father of the child, said justice had been done in the case.\n\nThe abuse “The abuse happened last year. I got to know that my child was abused and I reported to the Makinde Police Station but when I wasn't satisfied about their handling of the case at the police station, I went to Alausa where I met a man, Mr Iyapo, who saw me dejected and decided to help me. He showed me how to go about getting justice”, the father said as he narrated to Sunday Vanguard his travails in the course of seeking justice for his child.\n\nMbachi went on: “At the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, I was referred to MIRABEL for necessary medical treatment and, at the same time, to Mr Ebenezer, the Child Protection Network Co-ordinator at Oshodi Local Government Area. After interviewing me, Mr Ebenezer interrogated my daughter and we went to the police station (Makinde) but we couldn't produce the suspect because he fled when he noticed I was not resting on the case. “He was arrested after I found him where he was riding commercial motorcycle about one week later.\n\n“Pius is my neighbour's brother and comes to sleep in the house in the night. He was not staying in our house permanently. The mother (of the victim) and I were not around when he raped my daughter. My child, who will always run to me and cling to me to welcome me any time I returned home from work, was just withdrawn on the day she was raped. I was worried as a father and I and the mother interrogated her.\n\nWhat surprised me was she had been brain washed not to tell us anything. She asked us if she will not die if she told us the truth. We assured her that she was going to live and no one had the right to take her life. That was how we got to know that my 10-year-old loving daughter had been raped. And that was a week after the defilement had taken place. “MIRABEL didn't tell us the result of the test carried out on our daughter but they confirmed there was penetration. We continued to take her to MIRABEL for treatment at no cost.” On the psychological state of the child, Mtbachi said his daughter was okay. “We love our daughter and the first we did was to move from that environment and she is doing fine with her studies”, he said.\n\nOn the reaction of her daughter to the conviction of the rapist, the father said, “She is a little girl. I just told her what happened and, as she was always saying, she said the man is wicked and deserved to be punished. She was happy”. He added, “Despite his (convict) four lawyers, they were floored and government lawyer has promised they will fail 100% anywhere in the world if they try to appeal”.\n\nOn the reaction of neighbours to the conviction, he said, “I told you we have relocated but communication between us and Pius brother who was our neighbour is cut off because I really disturbed him. Nothing can bring us together for what his brother did to my daughter. It is just that we handled our daughter with care otherwise the rape would have affected her psychologically. “I look at molesters as killers in the society.\n\nFor such an act to be done to innocent children, they are inhuman and should not live among normal people”. 'Don't go to the police. They will kill case' Advising children, he said, “Whenever such heinous act happens, children should open up to their parents because parents are their best friends. And parents should get up immediately and act just like I did. If they do not know where to run to, they should ask questions but they should not go to the police because they will kill the case. The only way is to report to the office in charge of child protection.\n\n“To the people who helped me to get justice, especially Mr Iyapo, Mr Ebenezer, MIRABEL, the state Ministry of Justice, I thank God for using them. If government continues to work like this, molesters will soon be wiped out. Nobody charged me money throughout the period. Government took over everything and got justice for my daughter”.\n\n'How justice was served' Mr Ebenezer M. Omejalile, Co-ordinator, Child Protection Network (CPN) in Isolo and Oshodi LGAs, Lagos State and Head, R and Referrals for CPN in the state, narrates how justice was done for the 10-year-old victim. “The case was refered to my office because the incident happened at Mafoluku area which is within my jurisdiction”, Omejalile said. “I interrogated the girl and she opened up on how the accused, Mr Pius Okadigbo, a commercial motorcycle rider who did not live permanently in the compound but always coming in the night to sleep in his brother's place, defiled her.\n\nShe said he was always sending her an errand. She said the abuser on that particular day in December raped her when she went to give him something to sign for her. According to her, he dragged her inside and threatened her with knife if she dared to shout while telling her that she must not tell anybody what happened when he eventually raped her. She said the abuser attempted to rape her the second time few days after when he dragged her under the staircase but when he heard footsteps of neighbours approaching, he let her go.\n\n“According to the father, the girl was moody and withdrawn and stopped rushing to welcome him from office as she usually did. So, the mummy and the father were worried and had to interrogate her lovingly before she opened up to tell them what happened. The father then went to report at Makinde Police Station but nothing was done. This forced him to go to the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Welfare where he was referred to me. We went back to Makinde Police Station and I told them that the case was government case and had to be treated like that because they had to incident the case and give out form to take to hospital for confirmation if the girl was raped or not. “At this time, the abuser had eloped; it was the father who apprehended him and called the police for his arrest. He was charged to family court immediately but for one reason or the other, the case was transferred to Court 1 Agege and from there the abuser was remanded. “That was when the show of power and money started. We were receiving calls.\n\nI received a call from an ACP in Abuja and a state commissioner and the family members were coming along with the police to beg with loads of money to settle out of court. I was surprised the guy has influential people like that and he rides Okada and had the guts to molest a child. “Well, I was always telling them that the case was a bad case as there was no way he was going to get out of it, especially in Lagos State. He was remanded. “You know in cases of abuse, exploitation, child defilement, child abuse, there is nothing like withdrawal. If you do so, you are liable. We were always telling them it was government case and the result had not been shown to anybody from MIRABEL which was not unusual.\n\nIt had to be sent directly to the presiding judge who will interpret it. After about four months of the suspect's detention and he had come out after meeting the stringent bail conditions, there was a sitting where the Department of Public Prosecution, Lagos State Ministry of Justice advised that he should go for trial especially when a law had been enacted in Lagos State that any rape case attracts life sentence.\n\nHe is even lucky that the he is not given life imprisonment. So the Department of Public Prosecution advised that the man should go for trial and the DPP and magistrates were always there to represent the child at the High Court because the child had to be in school. His (suspect) lawyers were resilient but justice prevailed. “We at the Child Protection Network are very happy and, for the first time, I am fulfilled because justice has been served. The DPP has done well despite the lawyers the abuser hired”."

"Our new favorite dating tip is something called “sperm competition”. A new study from Oakland University published in the Journal of Comparative Psychology found that couples tend to have more sex when the woman is surrounded by male friends and coworkers, aka “sperm competition.” The Frisky reports that since sperm has to fight to fertilize an egg, men replicate this competitive behavior in the dating world. The study followed 393 heterosexual couples whose female partners had varying degrees of relationships with male friends. The men reported on how many male friends and co-workers their partner seemed to have, how attractive these other men likely found their partner, and how many times they had sex in the past week. The more attractive they believed their partner to be, the more sex each couple had. Hot, jealousy-fueled sex."

"Speaker Carl Heastie declared that the Assembly Democratic Conference will look for “revenue raisers” rather than cuts in spending—specifically emphasizing the importance of healthcare (Medicaid spending is the primary driver of the current deficit). Heastie was also careful to point out that the Assembly Democrats are not looking at tax hikes . . . so what could some of those sources be?\n\nWhile Heastie has made his Conference’s position on cuts to social services clear, there are some other areas that members may consider:\n\nWhat about going straight to the source? Well, that will be difficult. $4 billion of the $6.1 billion shortfall comes from Medicaid spending. The Division of Budget has been reviewing Medicaid with a fine tooth comb and cuts—or at least proposed cuts—are very likely across the State. Heastie’s comments repeatedly pointed to the importance of healthcare, and the Democratic Conference is likely to stand firm against any cuts that hurt social services of any sort. Buckle up.\n\nWhile the fiscal situation in New York worsens, so does the situation in Washington, DC. Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Thursday that the House of Representatives would begin drafting Articles of Impeachment for President Trump. Democrat in the House are pushing ahead with a rapid timetable that could set the stage for a vote before Christmas. That doesn’t leave much time for a budget agreement before the current stopgap spending measure runs out on December 20th. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) (pictured, left) warned on Tuesday that budget negotiators need to reach an “understanding” on fiscal 2020 spending bills within days to avoid a shutdown (or another short term continuing resolution). While last week it looked like decision makers reached an agreement last week on the big picture—total numbers for each of the subcommittee allocations—and it was reported Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Speaker Pelosi would be working toward a deal, it appears the devil could be in the details. Stay tuned.\n\nThe exodus of Senate Republicans continues. And the race is on to replace the latest one to announce plans to walk away.\n\nState Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer, an Amherst Republican, said Friday he will not seek re-election to the Senate 61st, a sprawling district that runs from the suburbs of Buffalo into Rochester.\n\nRanzenhofer joins a steady string of Senate Republicans – ousted from their majority status in the 2018 elections – to either leave or announce they will not seek re-election next year.\n\nSen. Betty Little, 79, of Queensbury, has represented the 45th Senate District, which is the geographically largest in the state and includes all or parts of Warren, Washington, Hamilton, Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties. After 17 years in the seat, she made announcements Thursday in Glens Falls and Plattsburgh that she won’t seek re-election for a tenth two-year term in 2020.\n\nA British Test for the Populist Revolution\n\nA country that likes to consider itself the most stable of democracies, a model of government typified by steady, pragmatic, get-things-done-with-no-drama progress, has descended in a few years into southern European-style political chaos.\n\nNext Thursday, the British go to the polls in a nationwide vote for the fourth time in less than five years. The result could produce the U.K.’s fourth prime minister in a little over three years.\n\nDefenders of President Trump often describe the impeachment inquiry as a “circus.” But after the partisan theatrics expected during Wednesday’s first hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, they might need a stronger word.\n\nWhen Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) gavels the room to order at 10 a.m., some of Capitol Hill’s most aggressive and colorful characters — Republicans and Democrats — will be seated on the dais, ready to inject new friction and hostility into the second phase of the inquiry.\n\nDid an Ethics Commission Leak Private Information to Cuomo?\n\nThe text messages arrived on a snowy January afternoon, a few hours after New York’s state ethics commission privately debated whether to investigate a disgraced former aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. They were from a high-ranking government lawyer, sent to one of the commission members. Was the meeting over? the lawyer asked. He had a question. The conversation that followed is now at the heart of a brewing ethics controversy in Albany, involving an alleged leak, cover-up and pressure on supposedly independent investigative bodies.\n\nA Friend to Everyone\n\nAs ‘Sesame Street’ turns 50 and accepts the Kennedy Center Honors, its lessons in niceness are still as easy as 1-2-3\n\nHow To Run for Congress\n\nYou’re watching the news, you’re talking to people, you’re annoyed at Congress. No, you’re furious at Congress, and you know you could do so much better in that job. Almost anyone can do it. But here are some pro tips, if you actually want to win.\n\nThe Myths of the “Genius” Behind Trump’s Reelection Campaign\n\nBrad Parscale has said he’s taking a relative pittance to run the president’s reelection operation. But as with much of what Parscale has claimed about his work and life, that’s not the full story. This is."

"For most patent attorneys working in life sciences, the BIO International Convention is a regular if not essential event in our calendars. IP professionals from all over the globe make the pilgrimage to the ‘mecca’ of life science events to meet with fellow colleagues and clients, as well as to hear about new technologies and attend education sessions on various topics including IP and commercialization. Of course, the conference is much broader than IP, but for the non-US IP professionals, BIO is a great opportunity to discuss all-important changes in US patent law and practice with our US colleagues.\n\nPatent Eligibility in the USA\n\nA significant point of discussion at BIO, as it has been over the last few years, was the assessment of patent eligibility of inventions directed to diagnostic methods in the US as examined under section 101 of title 35 of the United States Code (‘35 USC § 101’). Following several key US Court cases, companies developing medical diagnostics are facing what seems to be growing uncertainty on return on investment. The fact is that protecting medical diagnostics in the US is proving difficult, or at best the patents obtained have claims of narrow scope that may not be commercially valuable.\n\nThe frustration of the legal profession (both US and foreign) as to the ‘evolution of bad law’ by the US Supreme Court, and the USPTO’s inconsistent examination of patent eligibility for diagnostic method patents, was palpable. The resounding commentary from our US colleagues was that the only way to fix the situation for diagnostics will be for the US legislature to amend section 101. A panel discussion on this ‘fix’ featured on the Bio Convention program with review of the American Bar Association [PDF 349KB], the American Intellectual Property Law Association [PDF 609KB] and the Intellectual Property Owner’s Association [PDF 474KB] draft proposals for amending section 101.\n\nWhile differing in approaches, the amendments proposed by these organisations would seemingly simplify the analysis of patent eligibility, and do away with the convoluted analysis of eligibility currently applied by US Courts and the USPTO to claims directed to:\n\nUntil a ‘fix’ becomes reality, it was heartening to learn that our US and foreign colleagues have adopted similar approaches to prosecuting US patent applications with claims attracting ‘101’ objections. In short, where no clear path to allowance can be obtained by following the USPTO’s guidance on subject matter eligibility, filing a continuation and/or exploiting time delays by filing an appeal are approaches that can be taken (albeit at varying costs) to maintain pendency so as to continue prosecution until there is a change in law.\n\nTowards the end of July 2017, the USPTO issued further documents providing guidance on patent eligibility (i.e. interpreting and applying 35 USC § 101). These are:\n\nThe Report provides a useful summary of US law on subject matter eligibility, as well as views from the public (both supportive and critical) of the US Supreme Court’s decisions in this area. Pitched as an unbiased document, it is interesting to note in the conclusion that a majority of the public are calling for legislative change to address section 101 issues, even though the nature of amendments required for change are far from settled (as discussed above). From our recent discussions with US colleagues, providing certainty in the area of subject matter eligibility through legislative change seems quite low on the agenda of the current US government.\n\nChange in the short term is therefore unlikely.\n\nFollowing our trip to BIO, we were interested to determine whether we could begin to see the impact of 101 eligibility issues on grant rates for US patents. While some published statistics on this topic are available (e.g. revealing that the number of 101 rejections has increased by 200%-300% in some life science areas since the US Supreme Court’s 2010 Bilski decision [PDF 416KB]), we were particularly interested in grant rates for patents with claims specific to diagnostic methods.\n\nOur strategy for identifying such patents involved using a combination of patent classification codes (i.e. IPC codes used by the OECD [PDF 70KB] to broadly classify ‘biotechnology’ patents) and keywords (i.e. to identify specific words in patent claims such as ‘diagnose’, ‘detect’, ‘assess’ or ‘screen’ etc, or grammatical variations thereof, used in connection with the words ‘process’ or ‘method’). The results are shown below:",
null,
null,
null,
"First and foremost, this is about trends and it is important to acknowledge that this strategy relies on some assumptions. Further, applications filed from 2010 are still in prosecution (i.e. have not yet granted), and the delay in release of published data means that data for at least the last three years is incomplete. Additionally, in terms of timeline, it is important to consider that the US Court decisions post Bilski that have specifically impacted diagnostics (particularly Mayo in 2012, Myriad in 2013 and Sequenom in 2015), and the issuance of the USPTOs guidance for the examination subject matter eligibility since 2014, are all relatively recent.\n\nFigures 1 and 2 suggest patent filings and grants are declining over time, while Figure 3 shows that the percentage of granted patents over filed applications has trended upwards to about 2011. Given the assertions that US Court decisions and USPTO examination practice post 2012 have been destabilising to the diagnostics industry, we might expect a dramatic shift in grant rates for diagnostic method patents. We will continue to monitor the data using this strategy to confirm whether this shift occurs.\n\nOne advantage of analysing data in this way is that we are able to identify patent holders who are achieving grant in the US under the current regime. Analysing the prosecution histories of granted patents can be a useful tool to ascertain strategies for addressing patent eligibility issues beyond the guidance provided by the USPTO. That is, it is possible to identify granted patents owned by other parties having diagnostic claims that have been prosecuted before the USPTO. Top patentees are identified in Figure 4 below based on the above filing/grant data.",
null,
"Patentees in the medical diagnostics space will continue to face uncertainty until there is a legislative ‘fix’ to the analysis of patent eligibility in the US. Prosecution of US patents has and will become more costly and time consuming, and while post-filing strategies to maintain pendency are useful, adopting additional pre-filing strategies in anticipation of road blocks faced during prosecution seems inevitable in order to gain commercial certainty in the US. One such pre-filing strategy is to supplement guidance provided by the USPTO on the examination of subject matter eligibility under 35 USC § 101 with intelligence in connection with strategic attorney advice."

"It was sheer madness that a 19 year old young man was slashed to death in broad daylight on Saturday.\n\nA friend who lives a stone throw away from Downtown East shopping mall says that she was very disturbed by the teen's murder, which happened so near her home. She says, \"this goes to show how selfish Singaporeans are. I am sure there were more than 10 people in that overly crowded place. They could have together prevented, helped or done something. All just stood around watching a youth being hacked to death!\"\n\nFrom the some of the photos published in the mainstream media, it seems that many people continued eating at the Sakura restaurant even when the youth collapsed from his fatal wounds.\n\nSo how? Do you really blame the people of Singapore for not doing more in a situation like this?\n\nI say, \"don't blame the people but...BLAME THE GAHMEN LAH!\"\n\nThe people in Downtown East were probably waiting for the gahmen to come and put an end to the sheer madness they were witnessing. But sadly, the gahmen people only came after the poor guy died. The diners in Sakura restaurant must have probably thought that the gahmen people will come before something bad really happens. But no lah, by the time they came, the 19-year-old had already died.\n\nThis is what happens when you govern a first world country with third world mindsets. The people who are governed will also adopt a third world mindset, which typically thinks like this, \"i eat, i live, i shit - goal achieved - purpose of birth met. Others die, not my problem\".\n\nBut do we blame the people for adopting this mindset? No lah! How can! This is survival 101. If you don't adopt a third world mindset, how to survive in a country which is governed like the third world?\n\nSo I say, \"don't blame the poor shoppers at Downtown East. Don't blame the diners at Sakura. If you must blame somebody...BLAME THE GAHMEN LAH!\"\n\nMy deepest condolences to the family and friends of Darren Ng.\nBloggers\n\nteo soh lung said…\nBlame the gahmen is correct. But I don't agree that we have third world mentality. If you mean poor countries by third world, I think they have the best community spirit in the world and they would not allow a murder in eastend.\nNovember 15, 2010 at 9:37 PM"

"Metal plating is an electrochemical process used in countless manufacturing applications, from jewellery and household cutlery to electronic components and vehicle trim pieces. It involves the bonding of a thin metal coating over a base material in order to alter or enhance the surface finish.\n\nWhy did Toyota feel the need to re-invent a process that has been successfully used for hundreds of years?\n\nIn the conventional plating process, the base material is immersed in an electrolyte solution. When an electric current is passed through this liquid, the metal ions dispersed within the solution are attracted to the substrate and bond themselves to it, creating a thin metal coating. This is repeated a number of times in large baths of electrolyte, before moving on to the washing process, which also requires multiple large baths.",
null,
"The plating process is slow, labour-intensive and creates a significant volume of waste solution. These traits did not sit comfortably within the extensive Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 initiative, particularly with regard to the challenges associated with point four – minimising and optimising water usage.\n\nHaving ceased in-house electroplating a decade ago, Toyota has relied on independent manufacturers to supply plated products. But in order to improve the overall efficiency of its supply chain, over the past three years, Toyota has independently developed a new plating technology that significantly reduces the environmental impact of the process.\n\nThe specific technology has required the filing of 59 separate patents. We have officially described it as “a world-first stamping-type plating technology that uses a polymer membrane (solid electrolyte membrane), through which metal ions can pass”. The new process allows metal plating to be applied like a stamp and only to the area that is required.",
null,
"We believe the new plating process is now similar to screen printing, where ink is forced through a tensioned membrane to transfer a precise pattern. Just as the screen printing process only uses a small quantity of ink to achieve the desired print, so Toyota’s new metal plating process only requires a small volume of electrolyte to successfully plate components. In fact, waste solution is now reduced to one thirtieth of the previous volume, CO2 emissions are reduced to about one third, and the plating process is faster than ever before. In terms of size, the new machine is also relatively tiny, with a footprint that can be as little as one metre square.\n\nCurrently, the design of the machine head limits component plating to flat objects up to ten centimetres square. However, Toyota aims to develop the technology so that plating can be applied to objects up to A4 size and across three dimensions. Once the technology has matured and been fully verified by independent companies, Toyota aims for the machines to become part of the production process from 2023 onwards."

"spiked’s groundbreaking project is closing. But the fight goes on!",
null,
"In the fight against campus censorship in the UK, spiked’s Free Speech University Rankings has been a game-changer.\n\nBefore we launched the FSUR in 2015, as the UK’s first-ever annual analysis of campus censorship, many people in politics and the media were blissfully unaware of what was happening to free speech on campus, and the students fighting against censorship were badly in need of some backup.\n\nToday, the issue is barely out of the headlines, politicians have launched inquiries, made speeches and issued guidance to try to tackle the problem, and students have scored real, lasting victories against campus bans. We at spiked are proud of the role that we, and the FSUR, have played in this.\n\nAnd it is with that pride, and some regret, that we announce we are closing the FSUR to focus our freedom-fighting efforts on other projects.\n\nWe have achieved a lot over the past four years, with little more than a devoted team of volunteers and the support of the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, who backed us from day one. We have made national and international headlines (see our clippings at the bottom of the page); we have presented our evidence to parliament (see below); we have raised the ire of all the right people within universities and students’ unions.\n\nBut most importantly, we have done our bit to help students fight censorship on their campuses – to challenge the illiberal policies that stifle intellectual inquiry and hold students in contempt.\n\nWhile the government has moved to meddle in universities’ affairs, to try to force them to uphold free speech, we have always argued that the fight for free speech must be fought from the bottom up. And that is precisely what we have seen begin to happen in recent years.\n\nStudents have set up free-speech societies, launched free-speech magazines, and won referendums to overturn long-running campus bans. (Getting to meet so many of these students, at panels across the country as well as at our national conference in 2016, has been a real highlight of these past few years.)\n\nThere is, today, an opposition to censorship on campus that felt absent just a few years ago. Campaigners, students and academics have forced the issue, and universities and students’ unions have been forced to respond — even if their reflex is to downplay the depth of the problem.\n\nWe’re proud of the part we played in helping that opposition to develop, and look forward to seeing it finish what has been started. The Free Speech University Rankings may be over, but the fight for free speech goes on.",

"CBS is working on a Supergirl tv series and they’ve cast the lead role. The idea of an actress from Glee starring in a super hero show honestly doesn’t thrill me but I’ll try to keep an open mind. Though super hero tv shows are popular, they usually don’t hold my interest long anyway. Am I alone in this?\n\nGeek Mom shared where to find the geekiest teas. I’m supremely intrigued by Adagio Teas selection of fandom inspired teas created by their customers. I might have to look into this further around the holidays unless someone wants to buy me some now. ::hint hint::\n\nHave you seen the previews for the new show Backstrom (or even watched it?) Apparently some people at Entertainment Weekly are equally skeptical about Backstrom and they’re equally tired of the toxic anti heroes that have permeated our culture for a long time now. Don’t get me wrong – I’m a big fan of snarky sarcastic jerks (Iron Man, Sherlock, Craig Ferguson) when it feels fresh and right and is written to perfection but it’s become so common now that I’m almost over it.\n\nthe only football news i could get excited about:",

"A new year – a new lockdown!\n\nSome new data to ponder.\n\nJanuarys figures were down – no surprise there but how bad are they and how is the year starting to look?",
null,
"I have previously said, and am pretty sure everyone would agree, 2020 was a crazy year. We now need to have quick look at events from the worst of conditions in order to plan for what happens next.\n\nWhile lockdown #1 effected the various regions differently, Golf lost nearly a 1/3rd of a year to COVID, and, while general retail lost even more, it really has been a bumpy ride for golf retailers. We hit a low in May, with retail sales, year to date, down 54% in value. However, a resurgence in the popularity of Golf, due to its COVID compliance, saw golfers, new and old, loving the game and spending their money. At year end, the speciality golf channel recovered to be only 10% down on the previous year. All things considered, this was an amazing result.\n\nThe graph below plots the changes in value versus the previous years. As you can see, whatever happens in the first few months, the market tends to trend back to plus or minus 10% – even with a pandemic! This should provide some comfort for retailers that the market doesn’t move around too much. In many instances, it’s likely that internal factors can have a bigger impact on the business, than the market overall.\n\nFirst thing to note is that there was a shift in consumer spending. Generally, the Clubs category did well but Clothing did not. This might provide an illustration on how internal factors have had an impact on spending.\n\nRetailers, as well as customers, were nervous about the rules – especially clothing. “Can I pick it up?” “Can I touch it?” “Will I get Covid?” All questions that customers asked but probably didn’t get answers for and, as a result, consumers opted to leave clothing on the rack.\n\nOff-course apparel numbers were up, bolstered by online sales. Consumers felt more comfortable ordering clothing to try at home. With the right preparations and messages to customers, Apparel, and other categories, can still sell well. So, while external factors created a negative situation, retailers who adapted worked around it.\n\nThe other factor that seems to have really hit clothing sales is STOCK. At the end of May, at the start of the golf boom, inventory levels were 15-20% down. By the end of July, stock levels were 20-30% down. Stock wasn’t being replenished and orders were cancelled.\n\nAugust and September are 2 of the biggest months for clothing but as orders had less stock, sales took a hit.\n\nAs mentioned, Clubs did well and Irons and Wedges were up for the year, which was an amazing result. Customers obviously felt more comfortable buying these products. Custom fit sales didn’t produce the same stocking issues, although there were delays in getting items to customers. As a result, sales were good.\n\nTrolleys were another example of stocking issues: Sales were down 13% in units by the end of the year but could have been very different, if not for lack of stock. Orders were cancelled early on and then deliveries from China couldn’t keep up with later demand. It was an understandable position but one created internally. Looking at the numbers, Trolley stocks were down 55% in July and, as a result, August sales were down 20% in units on the previous year – the only hardware category to see a drop.\n\nThe only real surprise to me last year was consumables. Rounds were up for the year but the sales of balls and gloves in the specialty channel didn’t reflect this. I think some of the sales went out of channel: with golfers adding a dozen balls to their Amazon basket, along with their batteries, books and anything else they were getting shipped.\n\nI also have a hunch that the mix of golfers this year had an effect on consumable sales. Did all the regular, and especially older club members, play as much golf this year? Did some stay at home and isolate? While rounds were up, how much of the increase was from new or returning golfers that may have different purchasing habits, and who were less connected with the pro shop, or specialty high street store?\n\nIt’s been a poor start so far, with a new set of lockdowns. As I write, Scotland is still open for 2-balls but Wales hasn’t allowed golf for a couple of months. There must now be pent-up demand.\n\nGolf doesn’t look like it will return in England until the end of February, or possibly later in March. However, while this looks bad for trade, in reality, I wonder how much golf would have been played over this period, with very wet weather and now half the country covered in snow? Even without COVID, it would have been a rough start to the year. The only upside is that there is some government support for closed retailers and clubs. Furlough is offered for staff and grants are available for some clubs and retailers that pay rates. Covering these costs in these down times could actually help improve the financial situation for many. If we had all been closed for snow – there would have been none of these payments.\n\nAs with many things, a proper plan can deliver the best results. Last year’s initial panic meant manay retailers and brands lost sales. While the reasons were understandable, those in the trade that positioned themselves and planned accordingly, ended up with a stronger year.\n\nLooking ahead, assuming we are shut for January and February, there is still plenty of opportunity ahead. Some retail has been happening over this shut period but the market will be down considerably.\n\nGenerally, January and February are small months which, typically, only account for 8 or 9% of turnover BUT, more importantly, only 6 to 8% of margin.\n\nUsually, these quiet months are times for clearance, planning and a store refresh and high stock levels are not necessary at this time of year. So, there is still plenty of time to gain more margin this year.\n\nOnce we are out of lockdown I expect the year to be a bit more like 2019 than 2020. We know January and February will be small. Hopefully there will be some pent up demand as the weather improves and golf returns to peoples thoughts. So March through May will be the key period and important to get everyone back in the swing. With the vaccine roll out forging ahead I hope that there will be no need for lockdown during the summer. People will be encouraged to go outside and stay healthy. Travel may still be a problem so there may be some restriction on international holidays. Hopefully more people stay in the UK and play more golf. If we combine these factors and manage to retain many of the new and returned golfers things could be very buoyant in the coming months.\n\nNow for some modelling!\n\nLooking at the numbers, we can do a little modelling based on 2019 to try and work out where we might get to in 2021. We will lose the majority of January and February but at some point we will be released – lets assume that’s some time in March. Based on last year lets assume March and April are flat. Pent up demand should drive more sales in the following season. If we get somewhere between 2019 and 2020 bounce we can look at gains in May and June of 15%, July and August of 10%, September and October of 5%. Assuming November is flat and December see a little uptick golf retailer would end up 11% on 2020, and about flat with 2019.If we can achieve that, then I think it would have to be considered a good recovery, especially having lost the first 2 months to lockdown. However, if Golf is released early, momentum picks up and we see some of the higher play in the summer like last year, there is every chance of a strong bounce back and more considerable growth for the year. Remember in the second half of 2020 sales values were up on average over 20% for the 5 months not in lockdown.\n\nI very much want anyone reading this to understand that, even in the harshest of conditions, the golf market appears to be very resilient. Golf spend is relatively consistent, year on year, with normal years being + or – 5%. Even in a pandemic it was only -10% down overall.\n\nHowever, what does change is what people spend their money on and where they spend it. Retailers that have done well last year may continue to do so if they can maintain their customer base. Retailers that have lost some customers need to re-engage with their target market and add value and service to win them back. Golf retailers will need to start selling balls and gloves, instead of just taking orders for them as there are now other retailers offering service and golf balls!\n\nMake sure you take stock!\n\nOne key thought to leave you with. If you don’t have stock, you can’t sell it! Sales last year were definitely down for many stores as they didn’t have the stock in place to support the demand. It was clear that cancelled orders rippled through the system and brands weren’t able to get stock into the country. When they did it went to retailers that had maintained their orders. Make sure that you make a plan for this year and that you do have stock ready for when play starts again. Suppliers may be more cautious so stock won’t be hanging around in warehouses if you decide you want it. The other thing to consider is that if you do cancel too much , when you want it, you will be at the back of the queue to get it. Retailers that have worked with suppliers and planned their stocking will be the ones that get the goods first and make the sales."

"The US military says it has killed an Islamic State ‘planner’ in retaliation for Thursday’s deadly suicide bombing in Kabul airport.\n\nSpokesman for US Central Command, Captain Bill Urban, said the military had conducted a drone strike against an IS member in Afghanistan’s Nangahar Province, which borders Pakistan.\n\nHe said, “The US military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner.\n\n“Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties.”\n\nThe US has not named the ‘planner’ it killed.\n\nIt is not clear if the fighter was involved in the devastating blast at the airport, which the Islamic State’s Afghanistan branch, ISIS-K, claimed responsibility for.\n\nThe blast killed as many as 170 Afghans and 13 American service members.\n\nThis is a swift action based on President Joe Biden’s promise to retaliate the deadly suicide bombing carried out by the Taliban at Kabul airport on Thursday.\n\nAssociated Press reports that the strike came amid what the White House called indications that IS planned to strike again as the US-led evacuation from Kabul airport moved into its final days. Biden has set Tuesday as his deadline for completing the exit.\n\nBiden authorised the drone strike and it was ordered by Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin, a defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet publicly announced.\n\nThe airstrike was launched from beyond Afghanistan less than 48 hours after the devastating Kabul attack that killed 13 Americans and scores of Afghans with just days left in a final U.S. withdrawal after 20 years of war. U.S. Central Command provided few details; it said it believed its strike killed no civilians.\n\nThe speed with which the US military retaliated reflected its close monitoring of IS and years of experience in targeting extremists in remote parts of the world.\n\nBut it also shows the limits of U.S. power to eliminate extremist threats, which some believe will have more freedom of movement in Afghanistan now that the Taliban is in power.\n\nCentral Command said the drone strike was conducted in Nangarhar province against an IS member believed to be involved in planning attacks against the United States in Kabul. The strike killed one individual, spokesman Navy Capt. William Urban said.\n\nThe airstrike came after Biden declared Thursday that perpetrators of the attack would not be able to hide. “We will hunt you down and make you pay,” he said. Pentagon leaders told reporters on Friday that they were prepared for whatever retaliatory action the president ordered.\n\n“We have options there right now,” said Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.\n\nThe President was warned Friday to expect another lethal attack in the closing days of a frantic US-led evacuation.\n\n“They advised the President and Vice President that another terror attack in Kabul is likely, but that they are taking maximum force protection measures at the Kabul airport,” Psaki said, echoing what the Pentagon has been saying since the bombing Thursday at Kabul airport.\n\nLate Friday, the State Department again urged Americans to stay away from airport gates, including “the New Ministry of Interior gate.”\n\nFew new details about the airport attack emerged a day later, but the Pentagon corrected its initial report that there had been suicide bombings at two locations. It said there was just one — at or near the Abbey Gate — followed by gunfire. The initial report of a second bombing at the nearby Baron Hotel proved to be false, said Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff; he attributed the mistake to initial confusion.\n\nBased on a preliminary assessment, US officials believe the suicide vest used in the attack, which killed at least 169 Afghans in addition to the 13 Americans, carried about 25 pounds of explosives and was loaded with shrapnel, a US official said Friday.\n\nA suicide bomb typically carries five to 10 pounds of explosives, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss preliminary assessments of the bombing.\n\nBiden still faces the problem over the longer term of containing an array of potential extremist threats based in Afghanistan, which will be harder with fewer U.S. intelligence assets and no military presence in the nation.\n\nEmily Harding, a former CIA analyst and deputy staff director for the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she doubted Biden’s assurances that the United States will be able to monitor and strike terror threats from beyond Afghanistan’s borders.\n\nThe Pentagon also insists this so-called “over the horizon” capability, which includes surveillance and strike aircraft based in the Persian Gulf area, will be effective.\n\nIn an Oval Office appearance Friday, Biden again expressed his condolences to victims of the attack.\n\nThe return home of US military members’ remains in coming days will provide painful and poignant reminders not just of the devastation at the Kabul airport but also of the costly way the war is ending.\n\nMore than 2,400 US service members died in the war and tens of thousands were injured over the past two decades.\n\nThe Marine Corps said 11 of the 13 Americans killed were Marines. One was a navy sailor and one an army soldier. Their names have not been released pending notification of their families, a sometimes-lengthy process that Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said involves “difficult conversations.”"

"When my older brother, asked me to write a guest blog I was at first excited and then terribly daunted. I should preface this post with the fact that I am not a scientist, so the following is purely based on the observations of an amateur!\n\nI have been diving since 2005 and have a passion for all things ocean. I also love to travel. After spending the past 6 years behind a desk, I decided to temporarily abandon my Sydney life to spend some time indulging in some underwater delights and a slower pace of life.\n\nSo, I’ve recently returned to Australia after months of diving and travelling, including three months living in a remote fishing village, Andavadoake, on the south west coast of Madagascar. I was volunteering with a UK based marine conservation organization, Blue Ventures, who have been working in the area for over 10 years.",

"I have wanted to visit Madagascar for many years after seeing an image of the Allée des Baobab in a travel magazine as a teenager. And who doesn’t want to see lemurs in the wild?! However, it was with naivety that I embarked upon this adventure knowing very little about the country and its people, not to mention the extensive reef system – one of the largest in the world! All I knew was that I would be diving everyday (win), and would learn some science to help monitor the local reefs (win)… AND I would be there during whale season (WIN).",
null,
"What I quickly learned was that Madagascar is not a country filled with primordial rainforest and troops of lemur bouncing around, but a country of varying climate and terrains. I drove through endless rice paddies and farmland reminiscent of my travels in South East Asia; vast rocky scapes that hold minerals and precious gems; the desert spiny forests full of the famous octopus tree; and finally, the turquoise, sparkling ocean. It was surprising and sad at times, knowing that much of this land, in fact, used to be primordial rainforest, but that’s perhaps, a discussion for another time.",

We were a little disheveled yet full of excitement from our first experiences in Madagascar, which involved descending from the central plateau by hazard lights as our headlights didn’t work; a crazy Chinese hotel where we struggled to find our rooms in the labyrinth of corridors; lemur, chameleon and scorpion sightings; a flat tyre; hiking desert canyons; swimming in freezing pools in small oasis’; our first taste of Malagasy rum and dancing; incredibly rough ‘paved’ and unpaved roads; and more lemurs!",

"Citigroup is standing by its Jan. 14 deadline by which it expects employees to be fully vaccinated or receive an approved exemption, the firm’s head of human resources said in a statement, which came as the Supreme Court overturned the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test requirement for large businesses.\n\nSara Wechter, Head of Human Resources at Citi, said in a statement that, one day ahead of the Friday deadline, the company has achieved a 99 percent rate of compliance with its COVID-19 vaccination policy.\n\n“This level of compliance helps us create a safer workplace, protect your families and our communities, and ensure continuity of our business operations,” Wechter said.\n\nCiti’s policy, announced several months ago, requires U.S.-based staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, or obtain a state-permitted exemption or an accommodation on medical or religious grounds.\n\n“Going into the last day, we expect the number of employees who have not complied will decrease even further,” Wechter added.\n\nWechter’s announcement came on the heels of a ruling by the Supreme Court on Thursday blocking the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine-or-test mandate for private businesses employing 100 or more staffers. The ruling means that the mandate is blocked while the case goes back for consideration by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.\n\nThe Biden administration has argued that nothing in federal law prevents private businesses from imposing their own vaccine requirements, though companies opting to do so could run into state-level mandate bans, which some GOP-led states have imposed.\n\nThe National Retail Federation, the biggest retail trade organization in the United States and one of the groups that challenged the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test mandate, called the court’s decision “a significant victory for employers.” Other groups that opposed the mandate, like the American Trucking Associations and the National Federation of Independent Business also hailed the court’s decision.\n\nPresident Joe Biden expressed his disappointment with the Supreme Court ruling in a statement, saying the decision does not stop him from pushing businesses to impose mandates.\n\n“The Court has ruled that my administration cannot use the authority granted to it by Congress to require this measure, but that does not stop me from using my voice as President to advocate for employers to do the right thing to protect Americans’ health and economy,” Biden said.\n\n“I call on business leaders to immediately join those who have already stepped up–including one third of Fortune 100 companies—and institute vaccination requirements to protect their workers, customers, and communities,” Biden added.\n\nEmployers have been split on what to do with their unvaccinated workers, with a November survey by insurance broker and consulting firm Willis Towers Watson finding that, among 543 U.S. companies surveyed, fewer than one in five required vaccination. Two-thirds of the firms polled said they had no plans to require shots unless the courts upheld the Biden administration’s mandate."

"The Olmecs, who existed sometime around 1400 BC and where centered around Veracruz, are considered Mexico’s oldest civilization. Olmec artists and architects are famous for their ability to carve statues from the extremely hard basalt stones of the region, out of which they would sculpt enormous profiles of the heads of their rulers. These heads, currently featured at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, weigh between 7 and 10 tons each!\n\nAlso featured in the exhibit are “small-scale jadeite objects that embody the symbolism of sacred and secular authority among the Olmec.” The exhibit will run in Los Angeles until Jan. 9th and is the first time these massive stone heads have been displayed in the US. From LA, the exhibition will travel north to San Francisco where it will run from Feb. 19th to May 8th.\n\nOne Response to “Olmec Exhibits in California”"

"A team of researchers from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center has been testing methods of decontamination of personal protective equipment used by medical personnel. This initiative is one of the projects being pursued by the West Texas 3D COVID-19 Relief Consortium.",
null,
"Medical personnel at the University Medical Center wear the 3-D printed face shields produced by collaborators within the West Texas 3D COVID-19 Relief Consortium. The Consortium consists of members from both the TTU and TTUHSC campuses in addition to the local community and other other universities.\n\n“This whole situation has just heightened the importance of collaborations between our two campuses,” Joseph Heppert, vice president for research & innovation at Tech, said. “And it’s really brought the opportunity to start working together in a whole variety of areas right to the forefront.”\n\nPersonnel from multiple departments on both campuses, in addition to colleagues from Odessa College, University of Texas in Permian Basin, the Lubbock community and more are partnering to develop innovative methods of producing personal protective equipment and address other shortages.\n\n“I mean literally we had our first meeting two Sundays ago, and we’ve already got probably over 100 people involved between Lubbock and Permian Basin,” Williams said. “And we’re growing every minute, and we just get new ideas.”\n\nWilliams himself initially became involved when he personally started to think about what could be done to provide healthcare workers with PPE that seemed to be missing, he said. As Williams had previously worked with Al Sacco Jr., dean of the Tech College of Engineering, he reached out.\n\nFrom there, a group of collaborators began to form and the first project that came up was making face shields to be worn over PPE, prolonging the life of PPE such as N95 masks that are in short supply, Williams said. John Carrell, an assistant professor of engineering in the Tech Honors College, was heavily involved in this project from its beginning stages.\n\n“We have groups of volunteers who assemble them, put on these elastic bands,” Williams said. “We got donations from companies like Under Armor already who offered to provide some of those elastic headbands that will keep (the face shields) on people’s heads.”\n\nMaterials for the elastic bands and headbands were provided by the Tech School of Theatre & Dance and Tech Athletics, respectively, according to the Consortium website.\n\nAlready 400 face shields have been printed and as of April 2, 177 face shields have been delivered to UMC, Covenant and healthcare facilities in Monahans, Pecos and more, according to the Consortium website. Still, Williams said they are looking to find ways to increase the rate of production as need is high.\n\n“Just to give you an idea of the need, we’ve actually been trying to estimate, you know, how many of these do we actually need. We’ve made 400,” he said. “I got reached out to from Covenant hospital and they asked could we could provide them with a 1000 face shields.”\n\nIn addition to the effort to produce face shields, another project Williams said he believes will have a significant impact are the efforts to produce aerosol chambers, also called aerosol hoods. According to the Consortium website, Carrell is also leading this project.\n\nThe aerosol hoods are essentially large, square plexiglass boxes that have two holes with plastic covers for healthcare workers’ arms, Williams said. The box is built to be placed on the patient’s head, providing protection for the physician or nurse administering care.\n\nThe current goal is to produce 100 aerosol hoods, he said. Prototypes have been tested at the UMC, and they are pretty much ready for production. Once the plexiglass arrives on Monday, the hoods can be produced and distributed to hospitals.\n\n“We think this is going to be an incredibly, highly effective protection for our physicians, and I can tell that the ones who we’ve shown it to are desperate to get their hands on those items,” Williams said.\n\nBesides working to supplement supplies of PPE, there are also efforts to address the national shortage of ventilators, which can be necessary to treat COVID-19 patients. This issue is particularly significant for the rural regions around Lubbock, Williams said, as these hospitals may only have a couple of ventilators, or even just one.\n\nAa result, a group of engineers including Roy Mullins, an engineer with the Tech Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Joeseph Dannemiller, an Instructor within the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering, are working to produce emergency ventilators based on a model from MIT. Prototypes should be read to test by the end of this week, William said.\n\nEssentially, they are producing smaller, simpler ventilator models that use ambu bags, he said. Ambu bags are rubber bags that when manually squeezed, push air into the lungs of patients.\n\nOther ongoing research initiatives include re-sterilization of PPE, developing methods to use ventilators to support more than one patient, and even efforts to find treatments, Williams said.\n\n“There’s a lot of work going on on what’s called convalescent serum,” he said. “So this is the antibodies that are in the blood of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 but have the potential to be used therapeutically in other people who are suffering from the disease.”\n\nIn addition to the various initiatives from the West Texas COVID-19 Relief Consortium, another strong collaboration that has emerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic is at the Tech BSL-3 lab in the Reese Center.\n\nThe staff at the lab were primarily focused on research prior to COVID-19 but are now doing clinical testing, Heppert said. They have gone from testing 8 samples a day to over 50 samples a day, and the expectation is that will continue to increase over the coming weeks.\n\n“We have a very strong collaboration now, in terms of training and qualifying individuals from both campuses to help with testing,” Heppert said.\n\nAdditionally, a team that included Tech Information Technology services and Wade Redman, TTUHSC associate dean for educational technology, was able to set up a information system for the labaratory in less than week, when usually it can take up to four to six months, Rice-Spearman said. With all of the counties being served, the lab needed to be able to process specimens efficiently and get that information back out to facilities.\n\n“(We) developed this strong partnership between TTU and TTUHSC that allowed us to bring that laboratory quickly up to capacity for testing,” Rice-Spearman said.\n\nEven beyond the pandemic, Heppert said he would love to see these collaborations sustained to help expand Tech’s research and impact on the national level.\n\nThe partnerships being formed now have the potential to lead to great things, Williams said. He himself has come to know many more people because of the work being done and many contacts and connections have been made between both campuses and other institutions as well. When the Tech community comes out of this, it will do so with much stronger relationships, he said.\n\n“This is obviously a terrible situation, but you know, when you put smart people together to solve problems, they suddenly realize they’d like to keep working together,” Williams said."

"Smurched from Google Image Search. Copyright unsure, but it’s bound to be Lego.\n\nIt’s a marvel of architecture and engineering that opened in 2017, resplendent with vast swathes of bright colour, interactive experiences and activities up the wazoo, and state-of-the-art everything designed to give tourists a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and provide the company with a futuristic HQ to make it competitive long into the 21st Century. Somewhere within its depths it houses over 25 million Lego bricks, and most of them are there to be played with. It is, quite honestly, an utterly fantastic place. (I’m serious: check it out here. It’s very, very cool.)\n\nIn 2014, while the house was still a secret-squirrel project and the final details had yet to be, well, finalised, Lego released a set through its high-end Architecture line for the purposes of keeping the fans interested. Which, to be honest, is about as necessary as releasing a snapshot of your sperm when your wife is pregnant: Dude, we know what’s coming, we can see the progress, we’re already eager for the end result. Let’s just get together when the happy day arrives.\n\nBut, it worked. The Architecture line is a thing of great beauty, and its sets are highly prized. The Lego House was a genuinely exciting news item, and anticipation was high. Okay, nobody knew what the colour scheme was going to be, or the dimensions, and the general shape of the rumoured-to-be-fucking-massive final complex had only been hinted at. Anticipation was high. We all lined up to get a set.\n\nThis is what we got.",

"It’s a pile of bricks.\n\nTo call this a disappointment is to undersell it. To call it an extortionately-priced pile of square white shit would be getting closer to the mark.\n\nLet’s accept that many of the finer details were unknown. Let’s understand that the set designers may not have had the hugest brief with which to work. But then, you’re Lego. Use your fucking imagination. Project the future. You have entire lines dedicated to views of the future we know aren’t going to come true. We’re pretty comfortable with the idea that spaceships will not be open-air affairs in blue and yellow that you steer with a single steering wheel. Maybe, you know, give us a vision. Give us a sense of the place. Work to a theme, even.\n\nIt comes with a minifig. I couldn’t be bothered finding it.\n\nYou know what colour a turd turns when you leave it in the sun for too long? Go on. Have a guess."

"There are women that attract men without even trying—it comes naturally to them. Have you ever wondered why that is so? These women are strong and they radiate self-confidence which makes men go wild for them. Self-confidence is something special that subconsciously turns men on. There is nothing sexier than a beautiful and independent woman who radiates self-respect—the fact she values herself is what is making her beautiful. Here are some things that confident and strong women do differently than other women to attract men and most importantly, to keep them hooked:\n\n1. They are not control-freaks\n\nThey will never try to control you because they know they are confident and that they can handle any situation given to them. They know they’ve got a lot to offer and that it’s up to you to choose whether you’re going to take it or leave it. These types of women will let you live your life the way you like it—they will let you be the person who you really are. If it happens that you part ways due to certain life philosophies, they won’t try to change you or control you. They will simply let you go for the sakes of both of you.\n\n2. They know what they want (exclusivity)\n\nThese women won’t sleep with you right away—not even after, let’s say, three dates. These women will demand the two of you be exclusive in order to even think about having sex with you—once again, self-respect is what turns ‘The Right’ men on. Some men find that period of time too long, so they give up on those ladies, but when a right man comes along, he will be interested in the whole package—he will wait as long as it takes to unwrap it.\n\n3. They expect to be treated with respect\n\nIf it was any other way, they would have turned around without looking back and they would have left. So, what’s their secret weapon? It’s their attitudes. If you have a strong and indestructible attitude, no one can tear you down. If you demand to be treated with respect not through words—but with your attitude—you’re going to get respect. Men won’t ever cancel dates and reschedule dinners with these women unless something really important is going on and they have no other choice.\n\nThis is similar to the self-respect point I’ve given earlier. With that strong and independent attitude, they are sending the vibes they don’t really NEED men. They can manage fine without them as well. If you’re going to attract good and quality men, this is a trait you must possess because these men get turned on by your independence and your ‘f**k it, I don’t need you’ attitude—it’s simply hot. Women who don’t need men really don’t have anything to worry about. They know that if things don’t work out for the best, they are going to be fine.\n\nThey don’t like to brag because they truly like themselves, and they don’t have the need to brag about their accomplishments. And guess what?—Men like down-to-earth, modest women who are successful but don’t shove it in your face. The irony behind that is that the less you try to sell yourself, the more confident you come across. And that attitude of yours is going to make men fall for you.",

"OTTAWA—Refugee advocates say Canada could be in legal hot water if the United States deports asylum seekers turned away from Canada as part of a broader deal with the U.S. to close the border to all but non-essential traffic.\n\nOn Monday, the U.S. announced a 30-day agreement with both Canada and Mexico that includes immediately returning any migrants without legal status to the countries from which they arrived, or to their countries of origin if that isn’t possible, rather than holding them at U.S. facilities.\n\nPrime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week anyone crossing between the two countries on foot to claim asylum will be turned away as part of the temporary border deal aimed at combating COVID-19.\n\nThis has raised questions about whether refugees turned back by Canada would be returned to their country of origin.\n\nAlex Neve, secretary general at Amnesty International Canada, says the federal government should be concerned about the legal culpability such a move could place upon Canada.\n\nCanada’s international obligations regarding refugees include a commitment to “non-refoulement,” which means not sending refugees back to countries where they could face torture or persecution.\n\nIf a refugee turned away by Canada is later deported to a country where they are harmed, Canada could be considered complicit in this outcome and therefore legally liable, Neve said.\n\n“The other end of non-refoulement for a refugee is the possibility of death, torture, rape, arbitrary imprisonment. We cannot close our eyes to that, not only morally, but legally,” he said in an interview on Saturday.\n\n“It is entirely possible that if someone was subject to refoulement having been impacted by this border accord that we negotiated, that we would be legally liable. We would be complicit in what happened to them.”\n\nDeputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Friday she is holding “urgent” discussions with U.S. officials over the issue, adding she wants assurances that refugees returned by Canada to the U.S. will not face refoulement.\n\n“It is important for us to abide by our international commitments when it comes to refugees and we are very alive to concerns around refoulement.”\n\nRefugee advocates were harshly critical of the move by Canada to temporarily turn away asylum seekers in the midst of a pandemic when it was announced last week.\n\nNow that Canada knows refugees could face the prospect of being returned to their countries of origin — countries they have fled seeking humanitarian aid — Canada should walk away from this deal with the U.S., Neve said.\n\n“This is why we should never have entered into this accord in the first place, it is just simply too fraught and the likelihood that concerns like this will continue to come up is almost inescapable.”\n\nJanet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, says her members were “extremely skeptical” from the outset that this new deal would ensure refugee rights are protected.\n\nThat skepticism has proven to be well-founded, Dench said.\n\n“It seems like the Liberals have been hiding behind this fig leaf that they had some assurances from the U.S. government that, from the beginning, seemed extremely flimsy. And it’s now been exposed this fig leaf doesn’t really exist,” she said.\n\n“They are trying to pretend they care about the rights of refugees, but if they cared about refugees, they certainly wouldn’t have acted in this way.”\n\nShe agreed that Canada could face legal trouble if an asylum seeker turned away by Canada is deported by the United States.\n\nSince 2017, more than 56,000 people have crossed into Canada from the U.S. on foot using informal openings in the border, the best known being one in Quebec called Roxham Road.\n\nThey do this to get around the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S., which forbids people from applying for asylum at regular land border crossings, on the grounds that people need to ask for refugee status where they arrive first and that both countries are safe.\n\nThe majority of these “irregular” migrants came to Canada from countries like Haiti and Nigeria and were in America legally. Many had temporary travel visas while others had temporary protected status in the U.S.\n\nU.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Matthew Dyman said Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, only repatriates people who are illegally present in the U.S.\n\n“If people are in the U.S. illegally, ICE would co-ordinate to fly them to their home countries,” he said in an email.\n\nEven before these more recent developments, advocates were arguing major changes to U.S. immigration policy — including detentions and deportations of asylum seekers — have effectively rendered the U.S. unsafe for refugees and the Safe Third Country Agreement should be changed.\n\n“Now we have just one more indication in which U.S. policy so frequently throws refugees under the bus,” Neve said.\n\n“This indication that the U.S. is simply going to deport them as quickly as possible is a further indictment of the U.S. record living up to refugee protection obligations and one more reason why the Safe Third Country Agreement in its entirety needs to be scrapped.”"

"In the first quarter of the year, Warren Buffett and his company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) bought close to 9 million shares — a roughly 2.9% stake — in the large digital bank Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY), which specializes in auto lending. With inventory still being challenged and used car prices soaring, Ally has flourished, generating strong financial results since the pandemic started.\n\nBut given its cheap valuation, the market clearly isn’t buying the sustainability of Ally’s earnings. Buffett and the market are clearly at odds here. Who will be right?\n\nA strong auto market has led to strong results\n\nWhen the pandemic initially hit in 2020 and broad swaths of the economy closed for months at a time, the roads really cleared as people stayed home. Due to this lack of demand to travel, many automakers slowed their production. But as the economy normalized and people began hitting the roads again, the industry ran into supply chain issues — particularly around semiconductor chips — that have persisted and kept inventory low. This has led to elevated car prices across the board, particularly among used vehicles, which have increased roughly 60% compared to 2019.\n\nThis dynamic has been good for Ally’s auto business. At the end of the second quarter, Ally had more than $82 billion of retail auto loans, up $9.5 billion since the second quarter of 2019 and $6.4 billion year over year. Meanwhile, the average portfolio yield on these retail loans is 6.85%, up 10 basis points (0.10%) from the year’s first quarter. This helped Ally deliver a 23.2% core return on tangible common equity in the second quarter.\n\nAnd the strength has apparently continued into the third quarter, according to Ally’s CFO, Jenn LaClair, who said pricing has continued to increase. Origination yields on retail auto loans in Q2 came in at 7.82%, up 75 basis points from the first quarter. LaClair said the bank is now originating retail auto loans at 8% while maintaining its underwriting criteria.\n\nLaClair said the company still believes there are a good 4 million to 5 million customers not participating in the auto market because of the inventory shortage. She added that application flow has remained solid and the company isn’t seeing much price sensitivity, particularly among more affluent customers.\n\nWe do see really strong application flow in the higher-income earners, which we have defined as kind of over $50,000. And our average in terms of income of our customers that we are originating with is over $100,000. So in that segment, with the supply constraints and with our model, we really don’t see this slowing down.\n\nDespite great results and strong near-term demand, investors and analysts are dreading the time when conditions normalize to pre-pandemic levels, which could lead to credit issues, especially considering how large some of the loans are due to higher auto prices.\n\nDuring the second quarter, Ally saw its 30-plus-day delinquency rate jump from 2.02% to 2.52%. This rate is still below pre-COVID-19 levels and the result of typical seasonality in Q2. But despite management’s assurance that current credit trends align with expectations, investors are nervous nonetheless. Management clearly knows the industry and does expect used car prices to come down. In their assumptions, Ally is modeling for a 30% reduction in used car prices from the end of 2021 to 2023.\n\nDue to the Federal Reserve’s sharp increase in interest rates in recent months, another issue analysts are worried about is funding costs. Over the years, Ally has actually done a great job of improving its core deposit base. In 2018, just 64% of its funding base was composed of deposits. At the end of the second quarter of this year, that number had jumped to 85%. But with a total yield of 1.16% on its total funding base, Ally’s funding is still far less sticky and more expensive than many other large banks, which will inevitably lead to higher deposit costs in the near future, given the Fed’s aggressive hikes.\n\nWhy Buffett is making this bet\n\nConsidering Berkshire’s stake amounts to only 0.1% of its large portfolio, I think Buffett does understand that there are risks involved with this bank. But this is likely a bet the Oracle of Omaha and Berkshire view as favorable in terms of the risk-reward proposition, considering Ally’s cheap valuation. The stock trades at five times forward earnings and about 90% of its tangible book value, or net worth.\n\nAlly’s management team has acknowledged the challenges, modeled a significant decline in used car prices, and still thinks they can generate a sustainable 16% to 18% or higher return on tangible common equity in the medium term. If they achieve this through more difficult economic conditions, the stock will certainly trade higher.\n\nFurthermore, Ally has a strong track record of repurchasing a lot of stock and, at its current share price, has an annual dividend yield of 3.4%, two other things Buffett and Berkshire love."

"In the end the Persian center broke before the Greeks center (which was close to breaking). Persian archery was definitely below par in the battle which weighed in heavily towards a slight Greek victory.\n\nMarathon was the first battle we fought with the new rules when we returned to regular Triumph! gaming a few weeks ago, since it looked quite easy wrt army compositions (and terrain in particular). Our refights were standard 48-pts games, with Athens usually just bringing 16 units of hoplitai (HF) in the historical setup, or substituting 1-2 of them with toxotai (Sk) and/or peltastes (LF) for variety in the following attempts. We gave the Achaemenids two JavCav units, two units of Ionian hoplites (HF) and an almost even mix of Sparabara (Pav) and Levies (Hd). No terrain whatsoever, and no camps (Athenians didn't have one, while Persian ships apparently only came into play when the battle was over).\n\nOne thing we struggled with in the first attempts, when we were trying to recreate the historical setup, was the thinned Athenian centre. We deployed the outermost Hoplitai in two ranks, but there seems to be no \"deep formation\" battle card available in this period (and after all, wings were just standard 8-deep, so perhaps that would not be the right tool for this). One possibility we considered is to have an ad-hoc scenario battle card (\"thinned ranks\" or something like that) giving a flat -1 in close combat for -1 pts per unit.\n\nIn the end, with no terrain and an almost monotype Athenian army, we found Marathon to be a bit too 'flat' to have an high replay value... So we switched to Plataea \"what-ifs\" scenarios with plenty of terrain, allied commands, etc... We're having a lot more fun with this one, I must confess.\n\nDo you have any specific advice (OOBs and the like) for this one?\n\nMany thanks in advance!\nTop\n\nMarkus,\nThanks for the comments. Yes it is really a straight forward line up shoot and fight. Flanks were secured mostly.\n\nThis is the OOB I am playing with and discussing back and forth with DK. It is easier to represent the thin line in GT (zoomed in more). However the flanks was not so much the \"deep formation\" as we try to represent later with the Theban innovation as it was no reserve in the center.\n\nI am playing around with this OOB still and there really is no Cav at the battle so in terms of the fight you have a force that must rely on shooting up the enemy formation before contact vs. a force which must close and hope to do so in good order. in our battle the center of the Athenian line nearly broke, the only thing that saved it was the terrible Persian shooting.\n\nI am planning to use these troops to do Platea as well (got to paint some Spartans) which I agree looks much more interesting in terms of maneuver.\n\n\nPersians\n• 1x JavCav for the center command General (in reserve)\n• 25x Pavisiers -- all three commands\n• 1x Battle Card: Hold The Line. Center command Pavisiers only (and maybe only a couple of stands of them -- the Immortals)\nFlank Commands (2 identical, each 42 pts):\n• 4x Horde\n• 1x Light Foot\n• 7x Pavisiers (including General)\n• 1x Heavy Foot\nAnd Center Command (60 pts):\n• 2x Bow (more or less in the center of the line)\n• 10x Pavisiers (2 or 3 stands marked as Immortals)\n• 1x Heavy Foot\n• 1x Skirmishers (reserve to plug gaps)\n• 1x JavCav (in the rear) General\n• 2x Battle Card: Hold the Line. Pavisier Immortals only.\nSpecial Rules: Center Command stands cost +1 pip to move backwards except Immortals and JavCav.\n--------\nAthens and Plataea:\n• 2x Rabble (Javelinmen with no shield), 1 on each flank\n• 2x Light Foot (Thracians), 1 on each flank\n• 2x Skirmisher (center command reserve)\n• 42x Heavy Foot\nOrganized as follows:\nFlank Commands (2 identical ones, 50 pts each):\n• 1x Rabble (jav with no shield)\n• 1x Light Foot (Thracian peltasts)\n• 15x Heavy Foot\nCenter Command (45 pts):\n• 2x Skirmisher\n• 12x Heavy Foot\nCenter command deployed in a long thin line with the skirmishers behind to fill gaps, and maybe 2 reserve stands of Heavy Foot not in the front line. Flank commands with their heavy foot double-ranked in the open (no combat benefit for it, but shortening their line a bit).\nPersian camp is one or more beached ships behind their center. Greek camp is the mountain pass behind the center of their line.\nTop\n\nSince the battle account mentions that the Hoplites rushed into the Persians (which the Persians did not really anticipate). I have a suggestion for the scenario that you have the special rule that the Athenians, can March move to within 2 MU of the Persians, thus providing the Athenian's the rush in that they performed. Just a thought.\nTop\n\nI have considered trying to recreate that, however I am also trying to create a balanced and fun convention game.\n\nThe main weapon of the Persians is the archery fire which is important for breaking up the line and pushing units out of charge range by forcing them to fall back, not just destroying units out right.\n\nIf I added a special increased speed rule you for the hoplites, I think it would require some play balance in that I would have to reduce the number of Hoplites to balance the battle. This might actually be more representative of the battle, but it would take some thought.\n\nIn reality what I would be doing is effectively increasing the point value of the heavy foot.\n\nWe have another play test planned so will look at that after that second play test.\nTop\n\nFrom what I can tell according to the historical account, the Persian setup is too wide. It needs to be deeper and about 2/3rds the width they currently shown in the pics. The Greek Flank Commands should be narrower (thus deeper) and somewhat further away from the Center command allowing them the positioning to possible perform the enveloping tactic they used. For the Persians, I would suggest they are deployed in 2-3 lines for each command with spacing between each line forcing command points to used to reorient the formations from the rear to counter the Greek move up. Again, just my 2 cents worth.\nTop\nPost Reply\n9 posts • Page 1 of 1"

"All eyes in the business community will be on Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg and his state and territory counterparts this Friday.\n\nHow much longer are they prepared to let the energy crisis hold household budgets to ransom and bludgeon Australian businesses?\n\nThe COAG Energy Council needs to decide: will they take action to lower energy costs or not?\n\nAnd it really is up to them, because they are the ones at the steering wheel.\n\nYears of uncertainty, a result of a mish-mash of ideologically driven policies by different governments in different parts of the country, have helped drive down generation capacity and drive up electricity costs.\n\nYet uncertainty isn’t the only, or even the main factor, driving prices higher.\n\nThe ACCC has highlighted the significant role network costs have played – and the network operators are largely regulated monopolies.\n\nSimilarly, both the Grattan Institute and Victorian Government have in highlighted the important role that retail costs have played.\n\nThe reality is that there are problems at all levels – generation capacity, networks and retail markets.\n\nIf governments across the country are sincere in wanting lower energy costs, and they should be if we don’t want to force business to shrink, close or relocate overseas, then all these issues need to be addressed as part of an integrated national energy policy.\n\nOur members, who represent businesses of all sizes in every sector and in every state and territory, are telling me that we are running out of time.\n\nThe ACCC estimates that network costs themselves accounted around half of the increase in electricity prices in 2015-16.\n\nState and territory governments bear a lot of the blame.\n\nThe reliability and safety standards that they require create higher compliance costs for network operators, who then pass these costs on.\n\nSafety and reliability are very important, but several reviews have found that these standards have, in some cases, been needlessly high, and led to overinvestment and higher electricity prices for consumers.\n\nThe energy ministers need to think carefully as they flesh out the detail of the National Energy Guarantee (NEG).\n\nThey can’t allow reliability standards to be baked into the NEG that will push costs higher, within a framework where the network operators are guaranteed a rate of return on their assets.\n\nThat’s a risk we face, whether it’s further overinvestment in poles and wires or dispatchable generation capacity.\n\nTo avoid an energy sector Groundhog Day, COAG should introduce, alongside the NEG, policies that tackle other factors pushing energy costs higher.\n\nCOAG should explore ways to reduce the high level of market concentration in the wholesale and retail markets.\n\nWe need to reduce the high level of market concentration in the wholesale market.\n\nThe big three generators supply about 70% of retail customers across the NEM. The electricity market would benefit from more competition, something that might, in-turn, help deal with over-capitalisation in network infrastructure.\n\nAsset write-downs should be on the table for the electricity market.\n\nThe problem of excessive network costs, in a heavily regulated market, could be solved in part this way.\n\nThe ACCC has called for a similar policy with the National Broadband Network (NBN).\n\nIf other policies don’t deliver significant short-term cost reductions, then this option could be exercised.\n\nIt’s high time that state and territory governments changed the Stop sign to Go on the gas resources they hold.\n\nIt makes no sense to lock up the landscape when increased gas supply could help drive costs to consumers down.\n\nAs well as welcoming business to explore and develop gas, with project specific environmental approvals, other restrictions that impede the development and supply of gas resources should be reviewed and where possible removed.\n\nThat includes giving serious thought about how best to encourage landowners to facilitate access for exploration and development to the resources owned by the community (the Crown) underneath their land.\n\nThe NEG could well be a very important part of the solution, but energy ministers meeting this week must look beyond the NEG, because the NEG by itself won’t be enough to reduce energy costs for business and households in the short-term.\n\nWe encourage Josh Frydenberg to work with his state and territory colleagues to deliver an outcome beyond the lowest common denominator this Friday.\n\nWe hope these ideas will help."

"SuperEpic: The Entertainment War Review | Embark on a Retro Revolution\n\nIt's time to make some bacon",
null,
"Have you ever wondered what would happen if we all lived in the darkest timeline where we’re unknowingly ruled by an evil corporation through our mobile devices? In this world, by just simply serving us some cheap, low-effort games, the megacorporation is given power as they spy our every move, and siphon our hard-earned money through microtransactions. Sounds like a grim (yet interesting) world right? Well that’s exactly what this game on the Switch is set in.\n\nDeveloped by Undercoders, SuperEpic: The Entertainment War sees the the world submerged in such a fate as RegnantCorp., a game company brainwashes the masses with their mobile games, pretty much rules the world, sucking people’s cash through microtransactions while classic games are blacklisted and considered to be a crime.\n\nBut all hope is not lost as our heroes TanTan the Raccoon (that reminds me of the raccoon from South Park) and his trusty duck faced llama steed Ola embark on their journey to end the evil corporation and free the people in a retro, Metroidvania-style adventure.\n\nPlease Sir, May I have some more Pixels?",
null,
"As a homage to classic games, SuperEpic: The Entertainment War is presented in the colorful, pixel art style, meaning fans of retro titles will definitely dig this kind of style. While not the first modern game to use this kind of art-style (as games like Katana Zero and Blasphemous are currently available in the eShop), pixel art games just feels so right to play in the Nintendo Switch handheld mode; though maybe that’s just the nostalgia fan in me talking.",
null,
"While I do appreciate some of the colorful pixels on my screen, my only complaint is that I just can’t help but get tears in my eyes whenever I look at the Map and the flashing letters in the title screen. I don’t really think its a huge problem, but I would prefer a less shocking color, especially as you will look at the map often in these game. Other than that, I found that the characters and the backgrounds are well drawn and fit the game’s world and overall aesthetic.\n\nThe Vampire is in another castle",
null,
"Much like in any other Metroidvania games, the gameplay in SuperEpic is straightforward. You must navigate through the maze like office of RegnantCorp., jumping from platform to platform while going through obstacles and enemies along the way. You can equip Tantan with unconventional weapons that you can purchase along the way such as a stop sign, a guitar, and even a Plunger. Each weapon gives certain advantages like extra range, power, or speed, depending on what you currently have equipped.\n\nNot only can you bludgeon an unsuspecting victim with a golf club, you can also purchase a Rage Attack with gems to do various combos and deal even more damage (if you can hit it). You can perform these attacks by inputting various button combinations. This can help you stun lock a single enemy or clear crowded rooms with an AOE attack.While there are a number of Rage Attacks, I found myself sticking mostly to the Double Strike which works similarly to Alucard’s Sword skill.\n\nControls overall are really good, but I did find myself wanting to have quicker access to the map. If I’m not imagining things, I remembered that Tantan mentioned that the shortcut key for the Map is the D-pad; unfortunately it just won’t work. So if they could patch this it would be super.",
null,
"Moving on, if we’re gonna talk about the enemies in the game, they are really easy to deal with as most of them will just run straight at you. But there are some that are just simply irritating, especially the flying enemies. They are not exactly tough, but they just get in my nerves every time I jump.\n\nAside from fairly simple mobs, I found the game’s bosses underwhelming. After they deliver their humorous and satirical line prior to combat, they just fall easily don’t put up much of challenge. Although they do provide a few laughs, especially when they are a reference to other characters like a Pig who wears an eyepatch who also rides a Metal Gear or a Pig Zombie whose attack resembles that of K9999 from KOF. My favorite though is no doubt the Vampire Pig complete with a melodramatic line from Symphony of the Night.",
null,
"Combat aside, navigation through the RegnantCorp. is easy. Of course, this is a Metroidvania after all, so a lot of backtracking is needed to get that 100% map completion. What’s interesting about venturing inside this evil corporation is how to acquire codes for some lock combinations. If you find one of these, you can definitely see QR codes pasted on the wall, and if you scan it with your phone, you would be redirected to one of RegnantCorp’s games. If you manage to finish the game, you will acquire the code in the end. This is a clever way to integrate the puzzle portion of the game.",
null,
"Perhaps the best thing that I actually enjoyed about this game is its commentary about the state of mobile gaming. Not only did they mention it throughout the game’s narrative, the theme is also reflected in the gameplay; specifically in how you power up Tantan.\n\nIn this game, Tantan doesn’t gain any level himself, instead you have to buy every equipment to upgrade his stats, including Rage Attacks by collecting Gems–an obvious nod to in-game currencies that most games have nowadays (looking at you Gacha games).",
null,
"For the replay value of the game, much like in other Metroidvania games, getting that sweet 100% map completion in one go is already satisfying. Depending on your actions, the outcome of the ending will also change; so if you are interested to see the different outcome of Tantan and Ola’s raid, you’ll definitely enjoy another run after your first. Other than the multiple endings though, there is really not much reason to play the game again.\n\nIf you do want a more hardcore experience though, at one point you will get a gaming cartridge that contains a different mode where you will play a Roguelike alternative of the RegnantCorp. Sure, you will face the same enemies as in the normal mode, but in this mode, you’ll have to tread lightly because if you die, you’ll start over. Making it even tougher is that your power ups and upgrades won’t be carried on from the main game.\n\nI have to admit, I actually enjoyed playing this game more than I expected it to, especially given that it might seem like just another retro game. Despite its shortcomings like the lack of difficulty of the bosses and some iffy visuals, SuperEpic: The Entertainment War is still a fun game overall thanks to the fun Metroidvania exploration, as well as the interesting setting. If you’re a Metroidvania fan with a Switch, SuperEpic is definitely worth a look.\n\nPrevious articleBandai Namco to showcase Gundam MaxiBoost On, Scarlet Nexus, and more at ‘BNE Fun Live’\nNext articleDownload all your favorite apps and more on the P40 Pro+ with Huawei’s Petal Search Widget\n\nSuperEpic: The Entertainment War Review | Embark on a Retro RevolutionDespite not really living up to its \"super epic\" name, SuperEpic: The Entertainment War does provide an interesting premise with oddly wonderful humor. The game also has satisfying controls and a well-designed map which make the game fun in spite of fairly easy combat. Overall, this is a good Metroidvania game for genre fans."

"I’ve already published a few photos from my sessions at the national swim arena Eriksdalsbadet in Stockholm, where Marcus trains together with his triathlon club, but I’ve never shown you the ones that were taken under the surface. So here we go, let’s jump in, get wet and see how it looks like when you kick some water.\n\nWhen swimming it doesn’t matter how strong you are or how big muscles you have, it’s all about the technique. Marcus might have fine tuned muscles but that’s not why he can crawl faster than you. He might not live in the water as much as an elite swimmer, but he has still spent so many hours in it that I would classify him as a fish. It’s time consuming and to be honest, you don’t gain that much in time compared to someone that is slightly slower, but when doing competitions on the Ironman distances you can’t afford to loose any minutes.\n\nI have spent several hours in swimming pools too, but I’ve never actually been thinking of how you look like when lying there throwing your arms and legs in a desperate attempt to get to the other edge faster than the one behind you. So it was with a huge interested eye that I dipped my camera in the water to have a look on how the life as a triathlete is, under the surface. I found it hard to capture the actual motion, but I still think that the power is quite obvious in some of the shots. Enjoy!",

"Marcus Hultgren’s goal for the triathlon season of 2009 was to be among the fastest top ten Swedish males on the Ironman distance at Kalmar Triathlon 2009. A tough mission that would force him to cross the finish line after an estimated 9 hours. I’ve been following Marcus for the last months so this was not only his big weekend, but also mine, since this embarked the peak of my photo project.\n\nFirst of all: Marcus ended up on 14th place (among Swedish triathletes in the same age group) with a finish time of 9.30:24. I could’ve forced you to read the entire text before telling you the result, but now I’ve spoiled it all so let’s just get along and focus on the interesting part.\n\nI know many of you readers, including myself, have no idea what an Ironman means and especially not Marcus’ goal. So let’s put it all into perspective: no more than about 20 Swedish males have ever done an Ironman under 9 hours (according to ironmanstatistik.se). So if you already thought that swimming 3.8 km, cycling 180 km and running 42.2 km was hard enough you now understand that doing this on 9 hours is bad-ass tough.\n\nYou might think that 14th place is a huge loss when your goal was to be among the first ten. Well, if you just read the numbers it’s hard to argue against; 14 instead of 10 is a miscalculation with 40 %. And the time this year was only 2 minutes better than last year (finish time 2008: 9.32:46). Marcus had about 200 more training hours before this years Kalmar Triathlon, compared to last year, and a more dedicated schedule overall – how come the results were not any better?",
null,
"The answer is both simple and complex, but to summarize it all in one word it would be: human. Yes it’s just as simple as that. You train forever and ever and put all your energy and focus on one single race and when the day comes and you stand there facing your biggest challenge it’s all up to your mind and body and nothing else. You can’t do anything else than just push yourself as hard as you can (and a bit longer, harder, faster) and hope it’s enough. If you have a really good day you’ll crack all your expectations and if you have a plain good day you’ll run in on a time that would fill most triathletes envy. The line between these days is very thin and the side you land on is most often up to your own mind. Motivation is a key factor to success on elite level and even though Marcus wasn’t fighting for the podium he still needs a mind as hard as his muscles.\n\nOf course I got disappointed when I during the race realized that I wasn’t able to reach my goal. I really gave 100 % the whole time and I was simply not able to push it any harder. It feels strange when you know you have it in you but it’s impossible to bring it out. The only thing I can feel pleased with is that I gave it all.\n\nTraining is of course the most important thing, no doubt, but I guess that is something everyone understands. Was there maybe something in Marcus’ training that could have been better planned?\n\nI had this mad ’boost week’ exactly one month before Kalmar Triathlon and I don’t say that it wasn’t smart to push my body for 40 hours during that week, but if I’m doing it again next year I’m scheduling it one week earlier. The ”rest period” between the boost week and the actual race should also have included some quality training with higher speed.\n\nBut let’s get back to the actual race which took place on August 1st 2009. The preparations for this specific day had been going on for weeks and even months and as the sun started to rise over Kalmar it all went very smoothly and quickly. Breakfast, pumping the tires with a correct amount of air and then grabbing the already packed IKEA plastic bag in one arm and the bike in the other. It wasn’t much talking the first hour, but I guess that was a combination of time (we got up at 4.30 am) and a lot of things spinning around in everyones mind. In one way the race had already begun, even though it was two hours until the hoot would mark the start.",
null,
"The social part of Marcus woke when we got the transition area. Talking to all friends and competitors at the same time as he prepared his spot seemed like something he had done his entire life. The clock quickly ticked down to race start and I guess I was more concerned about the time on the watch then Marcus, he seemed utterly cool and calm. And why would he be nervous? This was just another competition and it was just to go on routine. Myself, I had thousands of things to think about: where to stand during the transitions, where not to stand, did I have all my memory cards for the camera with me, did I remember to empty them, which lens to use when, how to spot Marcus in the water when they all wear the same head caps? I could go on forever, but I guess you understand my situation. Even though I had followed Marcus on several triathlon races during the past weeks I still felt a bit uneasy about the whole situation. There were simply not any room for failure.\n\nAs a whole I was very pleased with the day. The swim start happened so fast I almost missed it, but the low placed sun was perfect for some epic photos of the triathletes as they swam out into the open water. Transition 1 (from swim to bike) was over in a blink and I really had to use my legs to keep up with Marcus as he ran towards his transition spot. Each leg of the cycle course was 60 km, which mean the athletes rode it three times making it perfect with at least two photo opportunities. And if T1 was over in a blink T2 was even faster, which made it hard to get any good photos of Marcus as he parked his bike and put on his running shoes. The marathon course was also divided in three parts and it was a ”pleasure” to see them all get more tired for every lap. Yes of course I wanted them all to be tired, that is what makes a good photo.\n\nSo what happens now Marcus? Is the season over for this year? An Ironman next year too? What about a trip to Kona, Hawaii?\n\nI’ve now had a month of recovery but the training for season 2010 actually just started. Being a triathlete means more than just one single race for me, it’s a lifestyle. Doing an Ironman is not as important as everything else around it, but yes I would definitely not say no to a slot for the ’real’ Ironman on Hawaii. My plan right now is to have a middle season next year where the main focus is to have fun and then during 2011 go to Frankfurt to compete for a Hawaii slot the same autumn.\n\nMarcus’ performance was really outstanding and it was a true pleasure to be a part of his journey from the start at 7 a.m. until the last steps over the finish line 9.30 hours later. With all photos in front of me it’s hard to pick out just a few so I hope all of you will enjoy this bombastic slideshow.\n\nBut do not think that this project is over only because Marcus season of 2009 is. I still have a few photos to show you and I’m in full planning of an exhibition in the near future. Stay tuned for some more sweaty and powerful photos.\n\nThis is an ironman\n\nKalmar Triathlon 2009 is over. It was a tough race; windy and hot. Many great athletes ran right into the unmerciful wall. Marcus crossed the finish as number 14 in his age group.\n\nMy camera managed to fire around 3 000 rounds and I guess I wont have to tell you that a few hours will be spent just to go through them all. Instead of letting you wait I give you two teasers. The rest of the photos, together with a summary of the race, will be posted hopefully sooner than later.\n\nBelow you can see a happy ironman crossing the finish line. ”I felt quite clear in my head, but as soon as I crossed that line my mind told me to find a place to lie down”, Marcus told me afterwards. After about three minutes he was up on his feet again with a smile on his face.",

"It’s a lot further to Team Waste Summer Camp now than it used to be (it’s held up a hill, outside Carmarthen in West Wales), so we set off at 9.15 on Thursday morning, and arrived at about 5 p.m, having stopped for lunch near Llangollen, and for fuel and a chocolate frenzy at Newtown. Oh, and sweeteners, 270 odd of the 300 of which Geoff kindly hurled across the kitchen floor on Thursday night 🙂\n\nIt was, as always, a supremely enjoyable few days, but … odd, somehow. No Rick’n’Jacqi, no Rox’n’Dave, no Benjamins, no Sleeps. And it felt as though we were all getting old, which we are, of course. I didn’t even do much cooking – just a big chorizo and chickpea collation for Saturday lunch. We brought home a bottle and a half of the two bottles of whisk(e)y we took, whereas normally we’d be out for emergency supplies of Bushmills on Saturday morning, and also the litre of dark rum – no Dark and Stormies this year, for some reason.\n\nIt was also bloody cold at night – my sleeping bag has been judged and found wanting, and I shall be donating it to some unfortunate charity and buying a new one before we go camping again!\n\nAfter promising ourselves we would do it for the past thirteen years, we actually went out and about a bit – on Saturday morning we took ourselves down to Llansteffan, hiked up and around the castle, then a couple of miles along the very gloopy beach, encountering a second hand book sale (oops) en route, and on Sunday we took a good hike along Pendine Sands, which is just gorgeous. The latter was prompted by a rip in the outer skin of the tent, and thus an emergency run to a tenting shop for repairer stuff.\n\nWe managed to get away about 9.30 on Monday morning – much earlier than I’d have liked , time wise, as loads of people hadn’t surfaced to be said goodbye to, but … We planned to stop again at Llangollen and look at the aquaduct (what did the Romans, etc), but so were seemingly hundreds of other people, so we’ve promised ourselves an overnighter there later in the year – it looks a charming place. Got home just after five, to find that Samantha and John had accustomed the Tribe to a style which they are going to want sustained – seriously, guys, a HUGE THANK YOU, for cat sitting above and beyond any feasible expectation.\n\nToday we’re spodding – photos on Flickr, a trip to Sainsburys as we had run out of everything, much laundering, cat fussing, etc.\n\nAnd of course, massive thanks to Caere Campbell for yet another cracking party – should we do it again, do you think? 🙂"

"Gatekeepers News reports that the approval is part of an omnibus plan to reposition the state-owned television station for national and international competitiveness.\n\nThe development was made known on Wednesday via the official social media handles of the Lagos State Ministry of Information and Strategy.\n\nAccording to the post, work on the infrastructure upgrade has begun in earnest following the approval of Sanwo-Olu and his expressed determination to make the State-owned television station a broadcast medium of national and international reckoning and one that can effectively promote the administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda within and outside the shores of Nigeria.\n\nChecks at the station show the place is now a beehive of activities by construction workers acting on the directive of the State Governor to deliver a phased revamping plan for the 41-year-old television station.\n\nThe plan entails the modernization of the entire complex as a foundation for the complete turnaround of the station which has been running with obsolete equipment for some years.\n\nSanwo-Olu is reported to have put together an ambitious plan to completely turn around the television station and make it compete with some of the best privately owned station in the country. The ongoing infrastructure revamp is said to be the first phase of the turn around programme.\n\nGatekeepers News reports that Lagos Television was established in October 1980 by the administration of the first civilian Governor of the State, late Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande.\n\nLTV was the first in Nigeria to operate on two frequencies or bands, that is VHF and UHF but now on UHF Channel 35. LTV 8 is the first state-owned television station on cable satellite DStv Channel 256 and Startimes Channel 104.",

"Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act\n\nIsaac Newton once said, \"If I see farther it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.\" As someone who has witnessed the evolution of race relations in this country, I can proudly say that as a member of Congress that's what I'm doing.",
null,
"It is because of the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson, John Lewis, Ella Baker, Rosa Parks, Prathia Baker, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy and countless others that I have had the opportunities I've had to grow from a young man in Washington, D.C., to a U.S. congressman representing the Fourth District of Georgia.\n\nThe passage of the Civil Rights Act was a turning point in our history because it made it illegal to discriminate on people based on \"race, color, religion, or national origin\" in public establishments. It also prohibited employment discrimination and discrimination in federally funded programs. These protections aided in the desegregation of public schools and helped to create a black middle and upper class.\n\nThe Civil Rights Act granted us social equality under the law. But even to this day, the struggle for equality is not over. We still live in fear that our African American sons will be killed by police. Fear of black men is so ingrained in our nation's psyche that we even see it in how some members -- not all, but some -- of law enforcement, the people we are supposed to trust to protect us from danger and harm, use excessive force against our children. Traveling down to Ferguson, Missouri, and seeing images of protestors after the murder of Michael Brown made it clear the struggle is not over.\n\nPeople think that because we have a black president race is no longer an issue. That people are no longer suppressed and that all is well with the world. This creates a type of complacency, a type of message that extra efforts don't need to be made to level the playing field and I've had enough.\n\nThere are three ways, we as a community can create more opportunity -- voting at the polls, educating ourselves and our children, and simply supporting one another.\n\nI will continue to do everything I can to get these pieces of legislation passed. But it will be for nothing if people don't go out to the polls. Not only is it important to vote for the president every four years, but it is just as important -- if not more -- to vote in midterm elections and primaries. If Democrats don't show up to the polls to vote, someone else will, and that's how we get Koch brothers-funded conservative tea partiers into office.\n\nThe next thing we can do is educate ourselves and our children. Education isn't something that simply stops when we graduate from school. It is a never-ending process and as our economy changes from more industrial to technological, it is crucial for us to be open to learning new processes either on the job or in school.\n\nAnd for our youth, STEM education is crucial. We must educate our children in science, technology, engineering and math to get ahead. Our children need to grow up to be in boardrooms and with the population becoming majority-minority in the next 10 years, it will be more important than ever to have people of color playing a role.\n\nFinally, and most importantly, we must support each other in our endeavors. The \"crab in the barrel syndrome\" is real and it must stop. In the African American community we have a tendency to want to bring each other down.\n\nAre we in the same place we were in 1964 in terms of race relations, absolutely not. But do we still have a long road ahead of us? A long road to equality? Yes. I hope readers will do everything you can to make it to the polls, educate yourselves and your children, and support your neighbors."

"Here is another K&L exclusive Calvados (after the Hubert) and another from the Domfrontais (after the Lemorton Reserve). This is another whose age is not stated, only alluded to. Sku, from whom I got this sample, notes in his review that “while there is no age listed, K&L tells us it is five years old”. Florin pointed out in the comments that the label states the “Réserve” category which is used for three year old Calvados and wondered why they wouldn’t have used the higher category if it were indeed five years old (“VSOP” or “Vieille Réserve”). Sku noted that he “spoke to K&L and they assured me that it is 5 years old, distilled 2011. Apparently, they used existing, available labels rather than create a new one to get it done more quickly.” I found this explanation from K&L a little unconvincing and said so there but I’ll repeat myself here (I’m good at repeating myself and believe in sticking with my strengths).\n\nFirst, note that K&L say that this was bottled specifically at cask strength for them:\n\n“Would you be open to bottling these at cask strength?” we asked him, wondering if our cocktail-mixing customers might be interested in something a bit more robust. “Bien sur!” he replied.\n\nFrom Sku’s picture it appears that the abv is on the label. This would imply that the label was in fact specifically made for this release. If that’s true then why wouldn’t they be able to note the age/category on the label as well? Or if they had lots of these labels with the exact abv but without the age statement lying around it would appear that the cask strength bottling was not done specially for K&L. If so, then why should we believe the other story either?\n\nIt is, of course, entirely possible that this Calvados is indeed five years old and from 2011 and that it’s only K&L’s stories that are unnecessarily specious. It is also the case that K&L’s approach to sales makes it hard to take them at face value. In the meantime, I am going to believe the label and not the story that benefits the seller: this is at least three years old and might be a bit older.\n\nAnyway, let’s get to the Calvados itself!\n\nDomaine Pacory, Calvados (54%; Domfrontais; K&L exclusive; from a sample from a friend)\n\nNose: Bright tart-sweet fruit at first—apple and pear (big surprise). Joined soon by a richer sweetness: think apple tart with vanilla and lemon zest and a buttery crust. It does have a faintly spirity edge too though.\n\nPalate: Very tart, acidic arrival, almost setting my teeth on edge, but thankfully the spirity note doesn’t follow through here. Nice oily texture. On the second sip there’s more obvious wood than I’ve tasted in any Calvados so far (reminder: I have tasted very few) but it’s not obtrusive and works well with the tart fruit, introducing some spicy, peppery counterpoint. With a lot of time and air it develops a slightly chalky sharpness.\n\nFinish: Medium-long. Gets sweeter again as it fades out and the last impression is again of sticky tart-sweet fruit.\n\nComments: This doesn’t have the richness of the Lemorton on the palate but I really enjoyed the progression from the nose to the palate and then back on the finish to the notes that were first on the nose. I think it might be sold out now, but if K&L brings in another, similar iteration at the same price, I’d say it’s much better than the Hubert if you’re looking for a reasonably-priced Calvados; and at $15 less than the Lemorton, and at a higher strength, it’s an even better value proposition—though I did slightly prefer the richer Lemorton.\n\nRe that chalky note on the palate: this is something that doesn’t appeal to me much in whisky, but I don’t know what its status is in Calvados. Yet more research is called for on all fronts. As with the Lemorton, and despite the higher strength, I thought this wasn’t served well by letting it sit for a long time."

He also knows the governments and agencies in charge of keeping citizens safe know it too – the scientist has been widely sharing his nonprofit’s water sampling results for the last two years – and he knows a long-sought $1 million dredging project now underway won’t solve the creek’s pollution problem."

"A political election is coming up in the US this November. They are a challenge for me because my friends come from a wide variety of perspectives. I sometimes find myself siding with one side and sometimes with the other, but never consistently with either side. The reason for this is that “I Love Gridlock.” I suppose it depends on how one defines it. One definition comes your friend and mine, Wikipedia. It says,\n\nIn politics, gridlock or deadlock or political stalemate refers to a situation when there is difficulty passing laws that satisfy the needs of the people. … Gridlock can occur when two legislative houses, or the executive branch and the legislature are controlled by different political parties, or otherwise cannot agree.\n\nAs an American myself, my friends almost universally hate gridlock. This is strange since it seems pretty evident that the US Constitution was designed to encourage gridlock, as opposed to the classic parliamentary system.\nSo why would I like gridlock? I like it in government and in ministry for several reasons.\n1. It slows things down. I have been part of groups… in fact I have led groups… where decisions were made fast or even “on the fly.” I often loved that. However, over time I realized that issues that were struggled over were often resolved better than ones that were thoughtlessly approved, or “railroaded” through.\n2. It encourages negotiation. When there is one or more people with all of the power, there is little discussion. Things just happen. I have been in church or religious organizations that were led by one visionary person who made all of the decisions. I have never seen that work out well. No one is right all of the time. Most are not right half of the time. Proverbs 11:14 says, “Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.” However, when the advisers are more than simply “idea guys” but have a vote in the process, they are likely to have better thought-out decisions, and the leadership can’t simply ignore such advice and act on personal whims.\n3. It allows all parties to feel empowered, or at least jointly disempowered. Solomon may have been the “wisest man” (in terms of governance at least), and made some really awesome decisions for the short-term prosperity of Israel. However, he also made some decisions that were KEY to civil war and moral breakdown of his country. It is interesting that one of the things he did was to crush gridlock by establishing a structure for governance that undermined tribal leadership. It is hardly surprising that when Solomon’s untrained son took over, the tribal leadership that had their interests steamrolled in the past, flexed their political muscles and split the nation.\n4. It lessens groups from acting on their baser instincts. In some countries, when one political party or political leader gains ascendancy, they quickly seek to consolidate power by outlawing or at least hobbling all dissent. Even where this is not done legally, laws are commonly passed that give more power to the majority and stick it to the minority— or benefit their primary (financial) supporters.\n5. It shares power. People in government and in ministry commonly don’t handle power well. Although it has almost become a cliche, John Dalberg-Acton’s words are still true: “Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Diffusion of power is better than its localization.\nSo does that mean that I actually like the phenomenon where lawmaking slows to almost a standstill because of power struggle and rivalries? Somewhat. Laws and plans should be slow… and probably should be developed slower than anyone is particularly comfortable with. However, my main reason for supporting gridlock is that it shares power, and provides impetus for negotiation, compromise, and consensus-building. If those involved cannot “play nicely together in the same sandbox” and work together for the common good of the organization or nation, they simply need to be replaced. That seems like that should be obvious. We don’t vote for ideologues or demagogues but with people moral vision and the humility to understand that they must work together with others, even people they disagree with.\nHoping you will have the opportunity to experience gridlock in your own ministry or organization (whether you like it or not).\nI will end this post with a wonderful quote on power and leadership from Monty Python. Enjoy.\n\nWe would like to apologise for the way in which politicians are represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed political time-servers who are concerned more with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous little self seeking vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some people might find offensive. We are sorry if this impression has come across."

"With the Carolina Panthers trading for Sam Darnold, Teddy Bridgewater is likely on his way out of Carolina after one season. Bridgewater is being allowed to be in the trade process and help find a team both him and the Panthers can find a fit with. While multiple teams are interested in the former first round pick, the Chicago Bears should be one of the top contenders.\n\n\nThe Bears offseason has been full of quarterback rumors ultimately ending with the signing of Andy Dalton to a one-year deal. Rumors of trades for Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson have fallen flat and left the fan base starved for a new quarterback. Even with confirmation that Dalton is “QB1” with the Bears, the team and general manager Ryan Pace shouldn’t be complacent with trying to find an upgrade.\n\n\nBridgewater would be a good fit with the Bears to extend the team’s playoff window by another year. There was mutual interest in signing Bridgewater in 2020 before he ultimately signed with the Panthers, leading to the Bears trading for Nick Foles.\n\n\nIn a turn of fate, any deal for Bridgewater would likely include Foles to offset Bridgewater’s almost $24 million cap hit in 2021. In addition to Foles the Bears would likely have to give up a similar draft haul the Panthers gave up for Sam Darnold. Bridgewater’s price could be higher, but his contract has an opt out after the 2022 season that makes his contract a one-year deal.\n\n\nIf all the Bears must give up for Bridgewater is a second-round pick and a few late round selections, they should be jumping at the chance to make the deal. The biggest problem for the Bears is the stability of the organization.\n\n\nNot only are the Bears a poorly run NFL team, most of their best starters like Allen Robinson, Akeim Hicks, and James Daniels are unrestricted free agents after 2021. The 2020 season inspired little confidence in Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy who are also likely in their final season in Chicago. Unless Bridgewater wants to join a group of soon to be free agents for a potential playoff run, Chicago is the place to go.\n\n\nOutside of their one-year opportunity, the Bears aren’t as stable as teams like the Denver Broncos or New England Patriots are with their roster and front office. Both of those teams could also offer more lucrative draft selections this year with the Broncos picking ninth overall and the Patriots at 15th overall.\n\n\nThe Bears won’t be out of the sweepstakes until Bridgewater is out of Carolina, but they will likely have to give up the most to get him. This offseason has been anything but torture for Bears fans, but the front office could salvage a competitive 2021 by trading for Bridgewater. Even with odds not looking good for a big move, an NFC North reunion isn’t out of the question."

"Putting feminine back in home design\n\nPutting feminine back in home design",

"Brian Patrick used all classic elements when designing this master bathroom for a female client. The floor tile and clawfoot tub are classic and gender neutral; however, the space was made feminine with easily changeable elements such as the crystal chandelier and lavender wall color.(Photo: Associated Press)\n\nA year ago, menswear-inspired decorating was wildly popular. Interior designers hung sharply tailored draperies alongside furniture covered in pinstripes. Sophisticated shades of gray were everywhere, as was navy blue.\n\nBut \"since the pendulum always swings, we're starting to see fresh feminine spaces,\" says interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, \"regardless of who lives in them.\"\n\nThe trend that designers are calling the new feminine isn't a return to an excess of florals, shabby-chic lace and other clichés of feminine decor from a decade ago. Instead, feminine style has evolved into \"an aesthetic that's classic with a soft, eclectic spin,\" says Flynn, founder of Flynnside Out Productions.\n\nPretty is back, but designers are using traditional florals on furniture with edgy, sleek lines to create modern mashups. Even the color pink has enjoyed a makeover: Pantone's color of the year for 2015 is a sexy, dark pink called marsala.\n\n\"There was a period in design when 'pretty' or 'feminine' were considered bad words,\" says New York-based designer Young Huh. \"It was considered lightweight and not serious. Ideal rooms were masculine, a bit somber, devoid of pattern and softness. Recently, there is a return to appreciating traditional design and also pretty rooms.\"\n\nBelieve it or not, Huh says, \"there is a new generation discovering chintz and florals.\"\n\nSo how do you pull off this new look to give rooms a beautiful, feminine touch?\n\nAnne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham, the designers behind the design firm Tilton Fenwick, suggest layering a feminine room with an eclectic mix of furniture and patterns.\n\n\"We love traditional-style upholstery details (a gathered skirted chair, for example), but aren't afraid to pair it with a clean and modern side table,\" they said in an e-mail.\n\nHuh also emphasizes contrast: \"When I think of feminine elements, I turn toward traditional design, such as the curvilinear shapes of Louis VI pieces, floral or other nature-inspired textiles and wallpapers, trims and passementerie, and traditional curtain and furniture making,\" she says. \"But to make the style fresh and modern, make sure the room contains contrasting elements that are edgy, clean and contemporary. … Having modern bookcases, simple molding and contemporary architectural lighting make the feminine embellishments look new and fresh within that context.\"\n\nSHAKE UP THE COLORS\n\nPink is possible, but it doesn't have to be your starting point.\n\n\"I've been designing and decorating homes for eight years, and not once has a female client asked for a pink room,\" says Flynn. \"There are so many colors to choose from that add a soft, feminine spin. … You can never go wrong with white on white, but if that's too impractical, mint green and red, lavender and white, and turquoise mixed with just about anything are excellent modern-day feminine options.\"\n\nIf your heart is set on pink, he says, \"pair it with navy blue. Dark blue and muted pink strike a gender-neutral balance and also create a super preppy vibe.\"\n\nThe Tilton Fenwick designers suggest uncommon color pairings. \"Color combinations like olive green and turquoise, for example, feel unique and fresh rather than stuffy and dated,\" they say. \"It allows you to use traditional patterns in fabrics and textiles without feeling dowdy.\"\n\nOne of Huh's favorite tricks for giving a feminine room edge is to add black (or another masculine color). \"Paint some molding black, the legs of a chair, add black trim to traditional chintz pillows and all of a sudden you've made that nice girl look sexy,\" she says.\n\nAlthough an overload of floral patterns will look dated, don't avoid flowers completely if you love them.\n\n\"Florals are a great starting point for a feminine feel,\" but pair them with a more modern and clean palette, say the designers at Tilton Fenwick. They also suggest mixing in \"more modern or unexpected furniture pieces, art and accessories — a modern photograph for example — that adds a layer of interest.\"\n\nIf a client wants some shabby chic, Flynn gives it an eclectic twist.\n\n\"Instead of the classic shabby chic look of white lace, weathered ivory finishes and lots of silver,\" he says. \"I like to simply stick with weathered wooden finishes in high energy colors, then mix hand-woven or blocked prints in. This results in a well-traveled look packed with organic textures and shapes.\"\n\nTake it a step further and you've got what Flynn calls \"rustic elegance\" — \"the clever juxtaposition of weathered finishes and farmhouse elements mixed with clean, tailored lines.\"\n\n\"I just completed a dining room which my female client wanted to feel very folk-art-inspired. To pull it off, we covered the walls and windows with a soft shade of gray, added tailored drapery and then brought in almost all worn, weathered pieces. While there are definitely moments of femininity, the space is just as appealing to men as it is to women.\""

"Over the weekend of May 21, the Marathon Mermaids brought their talents to Philadelphia to compete against some of the best teams in the Flag Football Life (FFL) statewide tournament, the Beast of the East.\n\nLed by Rudy Fernandez and Sean Sayer, the nine-girl team of first through fifth graders came together shortly after City of Marathon’s Rec League season.\n\n“I used to live in Miami and ran a flag football program for 17 years. We came here and I had no intention of becoming a coach… but I saw the potential between the two teams. … Sean and I were having lunch one day and we were like, ‘Why don’t we combine the teams and try and maybe do something special?’”\n\nThe mermaids faced a tough challenge in their inaugural competitions. Out of 196 teams in the tournament, their first two games were against the nation’s first- and second-place teams in the 10-U division. Despite opening with two losses, the unranked team from a tiny island proved they belonged in their first taste of tournament competition by falling just a point behind the top-ranked team.\n\nWhen the Mermaids found themselves in the Silver Bracket after a split among their division’s teams, they refused to lose again, ran through the bracket en route to a championship and defeated the fourth-placed Staten Island Giants with a 7–0 shutout win included.\n\n“It was their first action and they kind of got thrown into the fire,” Fernandez said. “I called the tournament director and said, ‘Give us the toughest teams possible. I want to see where we are, I don’t care if we’re from a small island.’ To be the best you have to beat the best.”\n\nAlthough any team can register for Beast of the East, the team’s group victory earned them an invite to the FFL National Championship in January 2023 in Tampa. According to a text sent to Fernandez by the tournament director, the Mermaids should crack the top 10 when the national rankings are released next week.\n\n“The most important thing for us was to teach the game properly,” said Fernandez. “And that really happened. The girls played really well and they played very hard and focused from start to finish.”\n\n“We took our friendship and all of our tenacious hard work and stitched it together into a strong, confident, feisty and determined feeling in our minds that helped us win,” said fourth-grade quarterback Sutton Sayer. “Our team has proven that children can dream big from a small island.”\n\n“It was incredible,” said Landry Sayer, the youngest – but intrepid – member of the team. “I can’t wait until next year and will miss being with my team.”\n\nFernandez’s son, Ryan, had similar success at the tournament. The Marathon Middle School student, who competed with his old Miami team, took home a Gold Bracket championship in the boys’ 11 U division.\n\nThe Marathon Mermaids would like to thank their sponsor, Marathon’s eponymous charter company, as well as Mike Puto, who used funds from the Katharine S. Gradick Girls Athletic Trust to sponsor the team’s transportation to Philadelphia."

"From Easy Rider (1969) to Dazed and Confused (1993) to Ted (2012), the stoner subgenre has maintained consistent popularity and cultural relevance since its debut. In the 1970’s, when Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong broke taboos by normalizing and glorifying the use of cannabis on-screen, this particular subject matter became a choice motif in comedy film.\n\nWhile the majority of modern stoner comedies could accurately be described as dumb, and only worth-watching if heavily under the influence, there does exist a handful of these films from the current era which are smart and funny enough to transcend the typical downfalls and stereotypes associated with the sub-genre.\n\nIn the 21st century, as pot use becomes more accepted with every passing day, there remains a place for quality stoner flicks. After all, one of the most popular activities to do after blazing up is to watch movies. And what’s more entertaining than watching other people blaze up while you do too?\n\nHere are ten films which epitomize the canon of contemporary stoner comedy. Not all of these may appeal to viewers who aren’t users themselves, but for those who appreciate this breed of humor, the following titles are easy to enjoy whether you’re a hardened smoker or a sober cinephile who knows how to appreciate some “highly” amusing raunch and antics.",

"This whole list could be made up of Seth Rogen movies, but to keep things diverse I limited it to three that I thought best represented his brand and the influence it has had on this genre.\n\nThis is the End – one of the most successful cinematic in-jokes of all time, is a comedy from the group of actors who have gifted us the likes of Superbad, Knocked Up and Pineapple Express. This troupe make it no secret that they LOVE getting high, and while This is the End doesn’t solely focus on the herb itself, there are enough references to it which make this more than clear.\n\nA hilarious raunch-com in which Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill and Jay Baruchel (among many, many others) play themselves, the story revolves around the apocalypse as this group of friends become trapped in Franco’s mansion while civilizational crumbles around them.\n\nA parody of horror and disaster films, as well as celebrity culture and lifestyle, the flick features non-stop laughs, showcasing writing team Rogen and Evan Goldberg in top form crafting some of their most gleefully offensive material ever. A perfect film to watch after a good sesh; pretty much everything you would desire from the Rogen modus operandi.",

"A love letter to sights and sounds the 1990’s, Jonathan Levine’s dramedy The Wackness tells a bittersweet tale of love and drug dealing in the summertime. While the film went under the radar of much of the movie-going populace, it’s a rare stoner movie that values character development, subtly and story over drug-induced antics and general mindlessness.\n\nLevine would go on to explore the genre further, putting his talents to work with Seth Rogen vehicles such as The Night Before, which fall more in line with expected conventions, but The Wackness remains an underrated movie which is particularly worthwhile for its 90’s nostalgia and focus on the hip hop culture of the era.\n\nIn 2015, the film Dope recaptured many of Levine’s film’s highlights, but since it places far less focus on the grass itself, I consider The Wackness more worthy of a spot as one of the current century’s most notable stoner titles. Levine’s film is not perfect however, and if you’re expecting an upbeat comedy, look elsewhere.\n\nThe story is fairly slow-moving and certain plot elements are given too much screentime, but if you’re seeking a deceptively human stoner flick which exists outside the norms of its genre, look no further.",

"Pioneers of the mumblecore movement, the brothers Duplass tried their hands at a slacker comedy in 2011 with Jeff, Who Lives at Home. Jason Segel is cast as a lazy slob who enjoys staying at home and getting high instead of facing any of life’s responsibilities, but is deeply unsatisfied with his existence as a result. His brother, played by Ed Helms, has the opposite approach: trying to make it as a responsible adult, but in the process, failing to find any actual enjoyment in his mind-numbing routine.\n\nWith a deteriorating marriage and loss of life purpose, he is equally unhappy at his core. The juxtaposition of these two lifestyles leads to hilarious conflict between the brothers, as they both look down on one another, and it results in a seriously touching story of family and parable about getting through life’s hardships.\n\nWhile not exactly a celebration of the stoner lifestyle, the film still plays well to said audience by including some of the genre’s tropes and a “highly” amusing main character who many will find quite relatable. Luckily, I don’t believe the film intentionally takes an anti-weed stance, instead poking fun at the lifestyle and accurately pointing out some of the problems which it can lead to.\n\nSome may take offense at the film’s depiction of this lifestyle, but at its heart Jeff, Who Lives at Home is a smart and grounded dramedy which optimistically offers hope for those who feel unfulfilled – whether due to forgetting to indulge in life’s pleasures, or indulging in them a tad too often.",

"One of the more underrated and badass stoner comedies of recent years, American Ultra stands out from the crowd for several notable reasons. For one, its positive portrayal of cannabis-smokers as real people earns it points from the target audience, who are tired of seeing themselves depicted on-screen as dumb stereotypes.\n\nAnother “high” point of this flick is its wonderful chemistry between stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart (who previously co-starred in Adventureland, and then again recently in Café Society).\n\nEisenberg and Stewart play a stoner couple who start off as humble small town denizens and end up having to defend one another as they’re thrown into an action packed throw-down involving secret government plots and initiatives. It’s all quite silly, and the technicalities of the story are less than realistic, but possibly the film’s number one strength is that it actually does take itself seriously – most notably in the final act, where the action is R-rated, bloody, and the stakes actually feel high.\n\nThe main characters’ relationship is tested as they go through hell for each other, in what results in a surprisingly touching conclusion. Directed by Nima Nourizadeh, who worked in the music-video business before turning to feature films, American Ultra also showcases stylistic panache with almost every shot featuring colorful framing and clever camerawork. Alas, the film was not a hit at the box-office, and remains criminally underappreciated.",

"Admittedly, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back is far from Kevin Smith’s finest effort, nor is it even the best film to feature the iconic stoner duo. However, it is on this list to represent Smith’s “View Askewniverse” as a whole, as its contribution to the stoner canon is undeniable.\n\nWhile only two of the Jay and Silent Bob-featuring films have come out in the twenty-first century (the other being the underrated Clerks II), to not include them would be criminal. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back is strictly fans-only, and while the decision to give these comic-relief characters their own feature may not have culminated in the “highest” quality work in Smith’s oeuvre, it still manages to be a hilarious romp that is rooted in the traditions of the genre.\n\nBottom line is, if you love the escapades of this drug-dealing duo in Clerks, Mallrats or Dogma, and you’re on-board with Smith’s sense of humor, chances are you’ll have fun with this flick as well. Also, if you enjoy toking up to Smith’s View Askew films, his more recent work will likely also suit your fancy – Tusk in particular."

"When it comes to being a snob, there are all types. You’ve got your BBQ Snobs, your Car Snobs, and of course, your Clothes Snobs. Then there are the biggest snobs of all, the City Snobs — as in, I’m better than you because I live in (insert snooty city here).\n\nNow, if you’re reading this from South Carolina, you might think that there’s no way you could be a snob. With your Southern sensibilities, you bask in humble pie.\n\nAnd while you certainly may be less snooty than the rest of the country, there are always pockets of snobbery in every state and South Carolina is no exception.\n\nSo without further ado, here are the 10 snobbiest places in The Palmetto State, starting with our winner, Charleston:\n\nI bet this list surprised no one from Charleston, they are just sitting there nodding their heads in high nosed aloofness.\n\nHow We Determined The Snobbiest Places In South Carolina\n\nNext, we ranked each place in each category from one to 93, where the lower the score, the snobbier the place. Finally, we averaged each place’s rankings where the place with the lowest score was crowned ‘The Snobbiest Place In South Carolina’.\n\nNow before we start really making fun—or rather, taking a closer look at our top 10 cities, let’s just be clear: this list may be completely scientifically proven and absolutely irrefutable (hah), but, really, it’s all in good fun. These aren’t bad places to live in South Carolina, so don’t get that idea.\n\nIf you’d like to see more than these top 10, feel free to head down to the bottom of the post for a look at the full list. Otherwise time to put on your monocle as we examine the snobbiest places in South Carolina.",

"Charleston is old school snob — the original and biggest snob of South Carolina.\n\nIt’s the oldest place in South Carolina and will be happy to tell you its long, long history. Just check out the the 11,500+ word Wikipedia page. That’s at least 40 pages of Charleston people being snotty about how great Charleston is.\n\nIn addition to crazy long Wikipedia entries, it also has the fifth highest home prices in South Carolina, the eighth most college education citizens, and the fifth most galleries per capita. For example, you can check out the bastion of snobbiness that is ‘The Spoleto Festival’ — internationally recognized as America’s premier performing arts festival.\n\nHilton Head ranks as the second snobbiest place in South Carolina. And it’s so snobby it actually has a moat around itself to keep the common folk out.\n\nIn fact, you need to pass the snobby tourist test in order to gain entrance.\n\nBringing the conversation back to the data, Hilton Head ranks as having the highest home prices in the Palmetto State. And, if you need something snobby to do, check out one of the galleries; it ranks as having the eighth most per capita in South Carolina.",

"Bluffton is the slightly less snobby little brother of Hilton Head. A mere twelve minutes away, its snobbiness is only dwarfed by snob mecca next to it.\n\nThe ‘Lowcountry Town’ has been taking its snobby seriousness for generations. In one of the most brazen displays of snobbiness, Bluffton gave birth to the seccession movement which caused South Carolina to be the first state to leave the Union.\n\nSo everyway you turn there are modern day shrines of snobbishness.\n\nThe ‘planned city’ ranks as having the highest median income of any place in South Carolina, so now we all know that ‘planned’ really means ‘exculsive rich enclave of snottiness’.\n\nIt wants you to know that while it is not a city, it is, in fact a ‘large suburban town’. And like a snobby suburb, it has the second most expensive homes in the state and the third highest percentage of college educated citizens.\n\nHowever, a lack of snobby things to do prevented the large suburb from appearing on higher on this list. Pleasantly.\n\nNot to be confused with the every-day-man’s Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach ranks as the sixth snobbiest place in the Palmetto State.\n\nUnlike Mount Pleasant, North Myrtle Beach is a mecca for snobby things to do. It’s the only place that ranks in the top ten for private schools, theaters, and galleries per capita.\n\nSo while the price of admission to the town isn’t high, it tries to keep up snob-ppearances as much as possible.\n\nThe seventh snobbiest place in South Carolina goes to Greenville.\n\nArmed with a Main Street that has somehow won awards, the town has the seventh most galleries per capita and the eighth most theaters per capita of any place in the Palmetto State.\n\nIt also ranks as having the tenth most college educated adults per capita. So the people shopping on the award winning street probably know they’re smarter than you.",
null,
"Fortifing itself in the top ten snobbiest places in South Carolina is Fort Mill.\n\nThe township is home to the, I kid you not, DCI World Champion Carolina Drum and Bugle Corps, which sounds like what snobs must go to watch on Sundays while the rest of the country watches football.\n\nBut when the town isn’t listening to bugles, it’s studying at a private school (of which is has the third most per capita) or flaunting the sixth highest median income in the state.",
null,
"The county seat of Kershaw county should think of applying for the title of the County Snob — Camden is the ninth snobbiest place in South Carolina.\n\nThe city has the seventh most theaters per capita and third most galleries per capita of any place in South Carolina, which it needs to maintain the ‘long history and many years of wealthy winter visitors and deep-pocket northern owners’ coming into town.\n\nIn other words, it’s a town for snowbird snobs.\n\nThat self proclaimed great seafood has caused the home prices to rank as ninth highest place in the Palmetto State. And the ninth most theaters per capita means you can enjoy the seafood in snobby style.\n\nA definite inlet for snobs."

"Stereo projection of moving light fields was installed in a way to create an illusion of their real presence in the room behind the locked door. The work was similar with the interactive installation The Resident, commissioned for the new media art exhibition Orbis Fictus in Prague in 1995. Technology: SGI Indigo 2, 256 MB RAM, LC projector, stereo glasses, animation created with Alias Power Animator V.7 software.\n\nPetr Svarovský (born 1962 in Mladá Boleslav, Czechoslovakia) is a new media artist and designer lives and works in Oslo, Norway. He is interested in the interrelation between art, technology and cognitive studies (consciousness). Svarovsky participated in Plasy on three symposia (works: Cradle 95, Sirens, Platforms - 1998). Svárovský started his artistic career in the mid 90’s when he co-founded ‘Silver,’ a collaborative platform for new media art production (with a.o. Milan Guštar and Pavel Rejholec). Since then he has worked within the field of interactive sound installations, advanced virtual reality, investigated the possibilities of Internet as an art medium and how to utilized mobile phones for art. In 2012 he founded is Oslo, where he lives since 2003 the company Carrot Pop, legendary mostly for controversial apps. He stopped to call his production art and developed a number of apps, driving their users into an unusual physical experience.

"The Culver City Council Meeting of August 8, 2016 began on a festive note, with a packed council chamber applauding a presentation of certificates to the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) Culver City Girls U19 Team — Winners of the AYSO National Games Tournament. This amazing team of young women had a record of zero losses, and zero goals scored against! They defeated several other states all-star teams. And their coaches were proud to note, every single one of the senior graduates is going on to college. Another reason to be proud of Culver City and our amazing CCUSD. Congratulations to all the young woman on the U19 team!\n\nNext the council delivered a proclamation congratulating the Culver City Police for the very successful, positive, neighborhood-building exercise of Culver City Night Out. Lt. Sam Agailby accepted on behalf of the CCPD, gave a brief presentation about the event, and promised more in the future.\n\nCouncilmember Meghan Sahli-Wells then made brief announcements regarding: The Council Sustainability Subcommittee which meets on Wed. at 3pm. Public is invited. For those of us whose musical taste runs to r&b and soul, Meghan encouraged us to attend this Thurs. night’s concert at city hall, where Missy Anderson will be performing. Finally, our local theatrical heroes The Actors’ Gang will continue their delightful tradition of Shakespeare in the (Media) Park, at 11am. This year, the unbelievably topical “Romeo & Juliet: Pokemon Go” every Saturday and Sunday in August. Don’t miss this — it’s always been a delight, in my experience.\n\nMarcus Tiggs, Chair of the Board for Fiesta La Ballona invited everyone to attend this year’s Fiesta, with the amazing music, as usual, curated by Ronnie Jayne. The dates are Aug. 26-28, and cool t-shirts are available for $15. The committee meets the first Wed. of every month, and everything you might want to know about the Fiesta is on their website, www.fiestalaballona.org/\n\nThe meeting then skipped a number of minute orders and ordinances to get to the issue that had the most attention from members of the audience — a proposal from Ballona Creek Renaissance to Ban Single-Use Polystyrene Take-Out Food Containers.\n\nThere were 28 speaker cards submitted by people who wanted to address the Council and the audience on this issue. Presentations began with the Staff report, delivered by Joe Susca who offered that despite best efforts, the City of Los Angeles’ polystyrene recycling program is NOT working, because there is no market for the stuff, especially if it is soiled with food waste (specifically oils). The City of Los Angeles will NOT accept any agreement with the City of Culver City regarding this issue.\n\nThe clerk then began to call the individuals who had submitted cards to speak before the council; there were four representatives of the plastics and/or restaurant industry who were opposed to a complete ban; four speakers who were generally in favor of a ban, but wanted further study, and/or an exception for utensils because they said no dependable tableware is available right now; or wanted to be better assured that there is a realistic recycling plan that the city can pursue. The other 23 speakers mostly identified themselves with Ballona Creek Renaissance (BCR), the Culver City Community Coalition, and/or one of the environmental defense organizations represented at the meeting (Surfrider, Sierra Club, 5Gyres).\n\nThe first speaker was Mehaul O’Leary (former mayor and councilperson, who is also a restaurant owner) He offered his belief that the ordinance is a “no-brainer” and should be passed — with the one known issue/concern — utensils. Santa Monica’s ordinance doesn’t include them, so maybe we shouldn’t either but reserve the right to include them later down the line when there’s a workable alternative.\n\nGrace Lee, a Surfrider member, said that she would be happy to work to inspect the restaurants and cross check with Santa Monica.\n\nShea Cunningham, CCUSD Sustainability Strategist, noted hat all agree that the ban would be in the best interests of Culver City and the greater Los Angeles area.\n\nErick Perez, a student going from Culver High to Cal Berkeley next year. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Ballona Creek Renaissance. expressed his concerns about polystyrene and the future.\n\nDavid Haake, a proud 27 year resident of Culver City, a Professor of Medicine at UCLA, and Chair of the West Los Angeles Group of the Sierra Club spoke at length.\n\n“The Sierra Club asks you to protect the health and safety of Culver City residents by acting favorably on the sustainable packaging measure before you this evening.\nStyrofoam or expanded polystyrene has been used for packaging hot foods. Unfortunately, when exposed to heat, polystyrene leaches a carcinogen (styrene) into food and beverages. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has determined that styrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on studies in humans and experimental animals and supporting data on mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Styrene is also a known endocrine disruptor.” Oa personal note, he added\n“I’m particularly sensitive to the issue of carcinogens, given that I’ve lost two wives to cancer, both of whom lived here in Culver City.”\nHaake stated that ‘because of these human health impacts, many fast food chains, including MacDonalds, Taco Bell, Subway, and many others have already eliminated Styrofoam. This is notable because the fast food industry is extremely cost sensitive.\nTherefore, a ban Styrofoam would not impose economic hardship on Culver City’s food services industry. Many Culver City restaurants stand ready to assist their colleagues in making the right decision and no longer serving their customers with food in Styrofoam containers.”\n\nJessica Borek spoke on behalf of the California Grocers Assn. She said the association has concerns about the ban as they are about “80% small members,” who worry the ban will damage them economically. They ask to be consulted during the process of developing the ban.\n\nAnh Nguyen of the California Restaurant Assn. said they too, have concerns about the ban. They strive to be eco-friendly. But they ask that the ban be developed collaboratively. When asked directly by Councilmember Cooper, “We’ve heard estimates that it will cost a restaurant between $3,000 and $5,000 to comply with this ban. Is that accurate?” Ms. Nguyen replied “I think that’s a good average.”\n\nDr. Marcus Erikssen, 5Gyres, Director of Research and Co-Founder. Dr. Erikssen has spent a decade studying the problem of plastics in our oceans and waterways, and his years of research have led him to the conclusion that only by BANNING polystyrene entirely can we rid the planet of this increasingly serious problem.\n\nPeter Bennett, a photographer and local businessman. Mr Bennet presented a locally produced video called “River of Trash,” composed of photos of the Los Angeles River. He supports the ban.\n\nJim Lamm, President Emeritus of Ballona Creek Renaissance, the creator of the agenda item, also spoke. After several decades dedicated to cleaning up the mess in Southern California, Mr. Lamm believes the ban is due.\n\nSamantha Martinez represented the Plastics Manufacturer’s Assn. She says the association members are looking to develop so-called “end of life solutions.” She supports “diverting” the materials in question, but NOT banning them.\n\nAmy Rosenstein, current President of BCR, claims Santa Monica is “almost completely weaned off “styrenes” and she claims that the change in attitude is generational. She submitted a survey to the City on the afternoon of the 8th. 7 out 11 restaurants she surveyed were completely getting rid of styrenes. Santa Monica provides incentives, such as free ads on buses.\n\nJoe Galliani of the South Bay 350 Climate Action Group stated that “Manhattan Beach has banned all polystyrenes, and NO one is crying over the restaurant business in Manhattan Beach.”\n\nKelly Kent, member of the Culver City Board of Education said that “The School Board has a ban in front of it, and it will be coming back.” She and the Chair Steve Levin both definitely support the ban.\n\nAfter the public had been heard, discussion reverted to the Council.\n\nGoran Eriksson objected; more in house processing was needed. He noted that there was a meeting of staff with foes to polystyrene but no industry reps were present, and that it had bee presented to staff as though it was a “full” sustainability conference, with all viewpoints represented.\n\nMeghan Sahli-Wells noted , “There was outreach.” It was the on the agenda of the regularly scheduled sustainability subcommittee.\n\nEriksson continued his comments; “We need to get a real recycling system in place. Because styrofoam is everywhere in the food chain — plastic-wrapped ground beef? There needs to be a place for it to go. I am not in favor of ban. Paper coated in plastic is worse, because it’s not recyclable at all. Greenhouse gases are generated by alternatives. Petroleum is cheap, and as long as it’s cheap, this isn’t going away. Does it matter to the restaurants? LA County says it’s $3000-5000 a year per restaurant to replace. It should go back to Sustainability Committee for more stakeholder input from OTHER stakeholders”\n\nClarification from Susca noted that “At this time we cannot recycle — we can only ban.”\n\nMayor Jim Clarke saw two issues; keep styrene out of creek, keep it out of landfills. Saying that he had “walked on both sides of creek, to see if there’s a problem. Trash not there, in a mile I saw very little plastic. ” He saw more at the school – perhpas the so the anti-litter program at the school needs some work), and saw at Overland/Sepulveda but trash bin was full. Clarke felt that the problem is not from Culver City.\n\nThe Vote is 4-1 in FAVOR of sending the bill back to the Sustainability Committee (Sahli-Wells, Eriksson, Cooper and Clarke voting “AYE.” A NAY vote was cast by Thomas Small.) The committee is to instruct and aid staff in crafting a potential ordinance that will deal with a ban of styrene.\n\nThe Council then turned its attention to Agenda # A-7, – (1) Discussion of Mayor Clarke’s Proposed Policy Regarding Responding to Inquiries to the City Council from the Public; and (2) Direction to the City Manager as Deemed Appropriate.\n\nThis matter was also referred to committee, but this time to the City Council Policy Committee (which seems sensible) for improvement. While such a policy would seriously cripple the potential for “backroom deals” to be made between councilmembers and “interested parties,” it could also, according to CouncilMember Sahli-Wells, constrict a member’s ability to “respond to constituents.” The matter will be re-agendized when staff and the committee have had time to craft a worthwhile policy. Passed unanimously."

"A trip to Iceland is our newest idea to spend an unforgettable motorcycle summer. The expedition is constructed in a similar way to our Spanish Motofiesta. We will fill our base near Reykjavik with a fleet of Yamaha XT660R motorcycles. These are very versatile, durable and reliable motorcycles that perform perfectly in the mixed Icelandic conditions. Motorcycles will also be available for rent between tours. We planned two types of the trips – longer, 10 days around the island and shorter, 6 days on the Western Fjords. For organized groups we will be able to prepare the trip according to the reported requirements. A 10-day trip will be conducted around the island, giving you the opportunity to taste almost every region of Iceland. The total length of the route will be 2000km. About 85% will be on good quality asphalt, while 15% will be gravel roads. The longest gravel section will be along the F35 road through the so-called Interior – the inner part of Iceland. We will then drive around 170km on dirt with one overnight stay on the way. It will be a special night, because we will spend it in tents on one of the best campgrounds in Iceland. Camping has all the necessary amenities. Tents and camping equipment will be transported separately, so you do not have to carry it with you. Daily sections during tour will not exceed 250km. An approximate map of the route is located below. During the 6-day trip, we will guide you north of Reykjavik, exploring the Western Fjords. Profile of the route is similar to the longer version – majority of asphalt and a small percentage of gravel roads. The total length of the route is approximately 1400 km. Daily sections do not exceed 250 km.\n\nThe journey will start after landing in Keflavik, a town located on the picturesque, but very severe Reykjanes Peninsula, near the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík. The first day will be devoted to airport transfer, short acclimatization. We will also repack the luggage and get familiar with bikes. We will prepare for the journey starting the next day.\n\nLeaving Reykjavik we will head towards the Snaefellsness Peninsula with the National Park with the same name. There is the famous Snæfellsjokull glacier from the Julius Verne’s books. On the peninsula you can find literally everything that a tourist in Iceland is looking for. There are a lot of unique rock formations, lava fields, beaches where you can find seals, majestic glacier, volcano, caves and geothermal springs. The journey will start with crossing the undersea tunnel, which is located at Hvalfjordur – the Whale Fiord. On the way, we will visit the small town of Borgarnes, to which we can reach one of the longest bridges in Iceland leading through the next fjord – Borgarfjordur. Our route will lead us along the peninsula with magnificent views of mountain ranges and interesting rock formations. We will stop at the spectacular basalt cliff – Gerðuberg. Going further west, we will visit the village of Buðir and Arnarstapi, in which there are many interesting lava formations. In one of these places we will stop for a coffee in a restaurant overlooking the sea. Another place for a short stop will be the Londrangar cliffs, which are unique rock formations. The next stop will be the black beach Djupalonssandur, which is one of the most beautiful black beaches in Iceland. Then we go to the other side of the glacier and reach the small town of Ólafsvik, where we will stay for the night.\n\nWe will leave picturesque Ólafsvik and go east of the peninsula, riding around the glacier. Along the way, we will pass many interesting vantage points where we will be able to see the Western Fjords. We will stop at the famous Kirkjufell mountain – it is 463 m high and is one of the most photographed mountain in Iceland. We will continue through the fjords that will lead us to the picturesque Berserkjahraun lava field. In its vicinity there is a famous farm with a museum, which is dedicated to a quite exotic delicacy in Iceland – a shark. You can try their specialty called – hákarl, prepared from fermented polar shark meat. The next stop will be in the largest peninsula in Stykkishólmur, where we will stop for lunch and coffee. We enter the cliff with a lighthouse, from which there is a view of the Breiðafjörður fjord and small islets. Leaving the city we will stop at the mountain of wishes, Saint Helga – Helgafell. This mountain was considered a sacred place and there was the first temple of Thor. The journey will take you along a picturesque path deep into the fjord. Depending on the weather, we can get to the hotel near Vesturland by gravel or asphalt road.\n\nWe will set off in the morning heading for the Icelandic Western Fjords. It will be a day full of great views and impressions. We will drive along winding roads along the fjords, having the sea on one side and the mountain on the other. We will stop at Flókalundur, which has its name from the famous Wiking Hrafna – Flóki. He was the first known Viking who came to Iceland and tried to live here. It reached the shore just at Flókalundur, where there is also a small hot spring with geothermal water, where you can relax with a view of the sea. On this day we will reach Breiðavík, where we will stay overnight. From here we will have only a few minutes to the westernmost point in Iceland and in Europe, to Latrabjarg.\n\nWe will start the day by driving on gravel roads and visiting the Latrabjarg cliffs, which are the westernmost point in Europe. These famous cliffs are a place for observation of sea birds, including puffins. With good visibility from the cliff you can spot the shores of Greenland. We will also stop at beautiful, this time golden beaches and the aviation museum. Then we will stop in many places with great views and rest in a hot spring. Another element of the trip will be the waterfall Dynjandi, which is 100 meters high what makes it the fourth largest waterfall in Iceland. From the waterfall, we will move further to the northern part of the fjords to the village of Þingeyri, where we will spend the night.\n\nLeaving the small town of Þingeyri we will head for the largest city in the Western Fjords – to Ísafjörður. Approximately 2,600 people live there. After visiting the town, we will continue our journey winding along the fjords. We will stop at several points for photography and we will reach Hólmavik, a city that is associated with magic and have a themed museum.\n\nToday we will spend our day on asphalt and gravel roads. We will follow the Icelandic routes leading from the Western Fjords to the capital of Iceland. On the way to Reykjavik, we will stop at tourist attractions and get to the top of the Grabrok crater. We will also see the picturesque Glanni waterfall. We will go further towards Reykjavik and drive past Deildartunguhver, the largest geothermal source in Europe. We will take a scenic route along the Borgarfjordur fjord and return to base in the evening.\n\nA transfer to the airport for a return flight is scheduled for this day.",

"The 2021 edition of the Iron Bowl was one for the history books. The Auburn Tigers jumped out to a 10-0 lead before Alabama did what Alabama does and came back to tie the game with 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter.\n\nThe Jordan-Hare Stadium crowd was speechless, but the Tigers still had a chance to knock off their most-hated rival in overtime. Punches were traded until Alabama quarterback Bryce Young found John Metchie III for the game-winning two-point conversion in the fourth overtime. The Tide escaped with a 24-22 win and kept their College Football Playoff hopes alive.\n\nAlabama head coach Nick Saban was understandably exhausted after the game. That all change once he saw his wife.\n\nRELATED: Nick Saban’s Wife is the Secret to Alabama’s Dynasty\n\nThe Alabama football team was pumped as they migrated to the locker room after the thrilling win. Wide receiver Slade Bolden looked ready to play another full game.\n\nSaban was still processing the game in the middle of the conundrum. I imagine he was thinking about the upcoming film session and how this win will impact recruiting. Whatever was on his mind, he looked spent.\n\nThroughout the video, Miss Terry was going absolutely nuts. As her husband turned the corner, they locked eyes and he cracked a smile. The First Couple of Alabama embraced for a celebratory hug and Miss Terry made sure he was the star of the show. Saban was smiling from ear to ear as he also hugged his daughter Kristen, who filmed the video and shared it on her Instagram account.\n\nSaban has a reputation for being hard-nosed and doing nothing but eating and breathing football. Moments like these, as well as a sense of humor he displayed when talking about Miss Terry’s ex-boyfriend, show the Crimson Tide head coach has a lot more to him.\n\nMORE: Nick Saban Lost His Cool, And Miss Terry Made Him Run"

"Today on Morning Focus Eimear Murphy of Obair joined us on the line to discuss a Community Forum which took place in Newmarket on Fergus yesterday evening.\n\nNext on the show, we were joined on air by the deputy of Housing of Peter McVerry Trust, Francis Doherty following on from the announcement that the national housing and homeless charity has begun to deliver social housing in County Clare for the first time. The charity is working in partnership with Clare County Council to meet the housing needs of people impacted by homelessness in the county.\n\nNext Michael Harty, Clare Independent TD, joined Gavin on the line as the Housing Minister faces a motion of no-confidence in the Dáil this evening. The Social Democrats moved the motion saying Eoghan Murphy has failed to get to grips with the housing crisis. Fianna Fáil will abstain during tonight’s vote. However, the government will need the support of several independents in order to win.\n\nMargaret O’Brien of the Ennis Chamber joined us in studio as the Ennis Chamber has joined forces with Shannon Group to launch #BuyLocalFlyLocal. Over the three weekends leading up to Christmas customers of the certain businesses who spend €30 (min) can enter a draw to win short breaks for 2 (return flights plus €600 cash for accommodation) to Vienna, Paris and Barcelona, the three exciting new routes departing from Shannon Airport in 2020.\n\nNext on Morning Focus we were joined in the studio by Declan McEvoy from Quin, as he is set to undertake an epic journey to one of the most dangerous, under-documented natural, cultural & historical landmarks in the world – Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia.

The book tells the story of the history of County Clare as it has been shaped by Stone Age pioneers, Bronze Age Wizards, Celts of Iron and mystery, Norman English invaders and furious wars that were fought by the O’Brien’s of Thomond.\n\nFollowing that Gavin spoke to Fr Donagh O’Meara ahead of a talk which is taking place in Miltown Malbay Community Hall on Wednesday the 4th of December at 7:30pm. The Críocha Callan Cluster comprises the parishes of Kilmurry Ibrickane, Miltown Malbay, Kilmaley and Inagh Kilnamona. The next few years are going to bring a huge change in the cluster. The meeting is being held in an effort to begin to reflect and think about the future.

"The buzz about this New York fashion week was that there wasn’t any. With Calvin Klein sitting out the season and Rodarte the latest brand to jump ship – the designers escaped the New York winter to show in sunny Los Angeles last week – this was set to be the fashion week nobody was talking about.\n\nBut the absence of marquee names has freed up the spotlight for new talent and innovative ideas. One of the hottest tickets on Friday was the first show by the little-known Tokyo-based costume designer Tomo Koizumi, to whom Marc Jacobs lent his Manhattan boutique as a venue. Invitations were issued at the last moment for the standing-only show.\n\nMeanwhile, the hackneyed fashion week tradition of filling the front row with celebrity guests is being given a fresh spin at Rag & Bone’s event in Brooklyn, where an artificial intelligence system is to be the VIP attendee. And at Kate Spade, the Northern Irish designer Nicola Glass is bringing sunshine back to the brand that was rocked last year by the death of its eponymous founder.\n\nNoticing how the proliferation of mobile phones has drained the atmosphere from catwalk shows, Marcus Wainwright, the British co-founder of Rag & Bone, was spurred on to stage a different kind of fashion week event. “A couple of years ago I was watching one of our shows from behind a curtain, and most of the audience were watching the show through the phones they were holding up in front of them, rather than truly watching what is in fact a live performance. I found that a bit sad. We stopped doing traditional shows after that.”\n\nRag & Bone’s event, A Last Supper, aims to incorporate technology into fashion week in a way that makes shows more interesting, rather than less. “Fashion week is still perfectly valid,” says Wainwright. “It still does what it was designed to do, which is operate as a marketplace for clothes. It is a congregation of the impactful people in fashion that you need to reach to run a business. We need to be here and to get across our point of view as a brand.”\n\nA Last Supper will feature a dinner party with an artificial intelligence machine physically present at the table. The dress code for the dinner, naturally, is new-season Rag & Bone. The concept is “a nod to the way in which humans might co-exist with artificial intelligence, in the future – and to how technology is changing the way we interact with fashion,” according to Wainwright.\n\nThe machine will talk and learn through the night, using code written for the occasion, before making an after-dinner speech. “It might be really weird, but I think it will be fun,” says Wainwright. “I’m not sure how deep the message is, but it should be a memorable night.”\n\nRelated: Tom Ford’s classic glamour is now served with side of modesty\n\nThe death of Spade last June prompted a groundswell of warm feeling towards a brand with which many American women feel a connection, which has put it back in the limelight.\n\n“It’s still her name above the door,” says Glass, who took over as creative director of Kate Spade a little over a year ago, during a preview the day before her show. “This is a brand both by and about a spirited woman. I was and still am inspired by what she represented to me, and her legacy will continue to live on in the work that we do, but my job now is to make the brand feel fresh for now.”\n\nGlass is refreshing the brand by adding more nuance to the bright colours it is known for, and remodelling its jokey mood into one with a more subtle kind of wit. A “jellybean lineup” of delicious shades is a key part of the Kate Spade aesthetic, but unexpected shades such as golden raisin yellow, cherrywood, peppermint and evergreen, which Glass calls “our black”, are adding sophistication.\n\nHigh-waisted flared pants are a key silhouette this season. “I love wearing them. They are really flattering, actually. I’m going to wear a pair to the show,” says Glass. “This is a brand with a sense of realness. It’s for a woman who loves fashion but has a really busy life.”\n\nSome of the outfits on the catwalk will be styled with two bags, she says, “because that’s the reality of how the modern woman carries her stuff around, isn’t it?”"

"NHK reported online on Tuesday evening that Defense Minister Kono met with Lt. Gen. Hooper, Director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, who is in charge of the foreign military sales (FMS) program, in which Japan directly procures defense equipment from the U.S. government. Kono reportedly asked for U.S. cooperation in improving the FMS system, saying: “We have been making efforts to resolve the issue of delays in the delivery of and payment for military equipment. In order to speed up procurement, we need to improve the system.” In response, Lt. Gen. Hooper reportedly said: “We want to demonstrate that FMS provides Japan with the world’s finest equipment in the most efficient and fastest way. We will hold thorough discussions with Japan on the concerns expressed by Minister Kono.”"

"Story: No one can harm you without your permission\n\nBy inspirelife:Attitude Is Everything on 11th Jan 2021 • ( Leave a comment )\nAdvertisements\n\nOn his first day in office, when President Abraham Lincoln came to deliver his first speech, one man stood up. He was a rich ruler. He said, “Mr. Lincoln, you must not forget that your father used to make shoes for my family.” The whole Senate laughed; they thought they had made a fool of Lincoln.\n\nBut some people are made in a completely different way. Lincoln looked the man straight in the eye and said, “Sir, I know my father used to make shoes for your family, and there will be many others here, because you make shoes the way someone else can.\n\nHe was the creator. His shoes were not just shoes; he poured out his soul to them. I want to ask you, do you have a complaint? Because I can make my own shoes. If you have a complaint I can make you some shoes. But as far as I know, no one ever complained about my dad’s shoes. He was a genius, a great creator and I am proud of my father “.\n\nThe whole Senate was struck dumb. They could not understand what kind of man Abraham Lincoln was. He was so proud because his father did his job so well that not a single complaint was heard.\n\nRemember: “No one can harm you without your permission. Nothing that happens to us hurts us. Our response hurts us.”"

"The City Planning Commission approved on Thursday the controversial NoHo West mega-project slated for the Laurel Grove section of North Hollywood, but did not appropriately address nearby residents’ concerns about overwhelming traffic caused by the oversized development. Once again, citizens were largely ignored by city officials.\n\n“They didn’t listen to us on the issues most important to us,” said Laurel Grove Neighborhood Association president Diann Corral after the meeting, referring to the planning commission. “And they didn’t take into consideration that it would be the biggest residential development in the Valley.”\n\nAt the City Planning Commission meeting at Van Nuys City Hall, North Hollywood residents consistently testified that NoHo West would create serious traffic impacts — in fact, even several enthusiastic backers of the mega-project talked about the desperate need to provide substantive traffic mitigations for the community.\n\nTara Miller, a nearby resident and another backer of the mega-project, later added. “I’m truly in favor of this project…But there are serious traffic issues that are being swept under by the EIR.”",
null,
"Yet when it was time for city officials to speak about traffic impacts, they appeared more concerned about how mitigations would effect NoHo West rather than the surrounding community. Councilman Paul Krekorian, who made an unusual appearance before the planning commission, offered nothing substantive during his testimony.\n\n“This is a conversation [on traffic] I will have at City Hall and with the developer,” Krekorian told the commissioners.\n\nYet Krekorian has already been meeting with the developers, Merlone Geier Partners and Goldstein Planting Investments, for months, and no serious mitigations have come out of those numerous closed-door talks.\n\n“It’s like the developers pulled out the big guns,” she said.\n\nLongtime residents were also displeased that the developers want to construct a tall, dense apartment complex that will loom over a community filled with single-family homes — and will further add to traffic congestion. The planning commissioners appeared unconcerned.\n\n“We felt there was a disconnect there,” said Corral. “They didn’t do anything additional. They just approved about everything that was submitted.”\n\nIn the meantime, Merlone Geier Partners and Goldstein Planting Investments stand to make $25.2 million annually from the 642 luxury rental apartments on the site — and millions more from office and retail space.\n\nWith such millions on the line, it may explain why Krekorian made the peculiar move to show up at a planning commission meeting to express his full support for the developers and NoHo West — commission president David Ambroz said he had never seen a City Council member in three years.\n\nNoHo West now keeps moving through the development process, heading for the City Council’s Planning and Land-Use Management Committee. Will residents finally get what they need? Or will L.A.’s broken and rigged planning and land-use system ignore them again?"

"Our family has been providing superior Plant City appliance repair to homeowners for more than 30 years.\n\nThe City limits comprise 28.43 square miles, and include 38,297 residents as of the latest population estimate. The City has adopted the theme of “Embracing the Future, While Preserving the Past” as it captures the residents desire to adapt and plan for expected growth, while protecting the enduring assets and hometown charm of Plant City.\n\nPlant City is a diverse and vibrant “hometown” community. People work together to solve problems and ensure a better future for their children. Local businesses grow and prosper through innovation and hard work. Local government makes prudent investments in infrastructure and services. The safety and wellbeing of our citizens is a priority.\n\nIn 2009, the Plant City Commissioners voted 4-1 to essentially ban all new murals in the Historic District of Plant City. Current murals being painted are not affected by this ban, but no new murals can be painted unless the owner of the building can prove there was an already existing mural on the wall before 1994. The ban was set in motion by a complaint that a recent mural by Blake Emory- a rendition of Norman Rockwell’s “April Fools” – contained a sex organ in the painting. Even though the creators of the mural insisted it was not intentional, and immediately altered the section of the mural, City Commissioners hastily cast the vote adding that they may revisit this ban in the future.",

"‘Assume sexual harassment is happening in schools’: Ofsted advises teachers to be more vigilant and says schools will fail inspections if they cannot show that they are tackling the issue\n\nSchools must ‘assume’ they have a sexual harassment problem and will fail inspections if they cannot show that they are tackling it, Ofsted has said.\n\nThe watchdog has launched a historic crackdown on sex abuse in schools after hundreds were accused of presiding over a ‘rape culture’ by the Everyone’s Invited website.\n\nIn rules published yesterday, inspectors will demand to see how head teachers are preventing peer-on-peer abuse – both at school and online.",
null,
"By 8am on inspection day, they must provide records and analysis of sexual harassment or sexual violence, as well as sexist bullying.\n\nOfsted said yesterday: ‘Inspectors will expect schools and college leaders to assume that sexual harassment, online abuse and sexual violence are happening in and around their school, even when there are no specific reports, and to have put in place a whole school approach to address them.’\n\nThe rules, published in the official handbook for inspectors, will be in place from September.\n\nIt is likely to lead to some otherwise good schools failing their inspections if they are slow to respond.\n\nIt follows a major review which saw inspectors visit the schools which were ‘named and shamed’ as turning a blind eye to abuse.\n\nIt found sexual harassment has become ‘normalised’ for children across the country.\n\nJulie McCulloch, of head teachers’ union ASCL, said the updated guidance is ‘welcomed’ and schools will be ‘totally committed to working with Ofsted to tackle these abhorrent practices head on’.\n\nSean Harford, Ofsted national education director said: ‘The findings from our recent review have revealed just how commonplace sexual harassment has become in schools and colleges.\n\n‘So, even when there are no specific reports, schools and colleges must assume that it is taking place and plan to address it accordingly.",
null,
"‘We will expect schools and colleges to have created a culture where sexual abuse and harassment is not acceptable and never tolerated.\n\n‘And where pupils are supported to report any concerns about harmful sexual behaviour and can feel confident they will be taken seriously.’\n\nThe new rules say inspectors will also be instructed to judge ‘how schools handle allegations and incidents of sexual abuse between children.’\n\nThey must ‘understand and address the barriers that could prevent a child from reporting an incident’.\n\nAnd they will assess schools’ ‘preventative measures’, including behaviour policies, pastoral support and the relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) curriculum.\n\nInspectors will not investigate individual allegations of harmful sexual behaviour, but will ensure that they are reported to the appropriate authority, if this has not already happened.\n\nOfsted added: ‘Where schools and colleges do have not adequate processes in place, it is likely that safeguarding will be considered ineffective.\n\n‘This can impact on the “leadership and management” judgement and the overall grade is likely to be “inadequate”.’"

"Thirty-four people are presumed dead after a fire engulfed a 75-foot diving ship called the Conception off the coast of Southern California on Sept. 2, the Associated Press reported. Thirty-three tourists and one crew member were below deck at around 3 a.m. in the sleeping quarters when the incident occurred, and their egress via an emergency hatch was apparently blocked by flames. The remaining five people on the boat — the captain and four crew members — jumped ship, took a dinghy away from the blaze, and were rescued by a private fishing boat. It is not known if they attempted to rescue the victims.\n\nSanta Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown reported that there were no survivors apart from the five staff members. As of Sept. 3, the bodies of 20 victims were recovered. The sheriff said the boat needed to be stabilized for divers to search for additional remains. Although investigators have yet to determine the cause of the fire, they reported no evidence of an explosion, USA Today reported. The vessel’s engine room had a fire suppression system, but it is unclear whether it played a role in the accident.\n\nThe touring outfit, Truth Aquatics, has been subject to numerous lawsuits, many of which it settled out of court. The company could not be reached for comment. Family members of the victims in this tragedy could very well take legal action if Truth Aquatics is found to have been negligent. If you or a loved one has been a victim of an accident at sea, you may be entitled to compensation if another party is at fault.

"It’s not quite the moment we’ve all been waiting for – the Summit League tournament always takes care of that – but if you’re looking for a helping of regular-season intrigue, Saturday’s South Dakota-South Dakota State women’s basketball game should do just fine.\n\nThe Coyotes and Jackrabbits are in-state rivals and they share the lead in the conference with three games to play. USD is 21-5 and 12-1 and SDSU is 22-4 and 12-1. USD took the first game between the two teams this year, winning at Frost Arena for the first time since 1990, but the Jacks have not lost since then and are riding an eight-game win streak. With USD on an 11-game win streak, that’s 19 consecutive wins over Summit League teams that will be represented on Saturday afternoon.\n\nAnd it is also most likely the last women’s college basketball game for the Coyotes at the DakotaDome. It certainly is the last one for the Jackrabbits.\n\n“Our last game in the Dome,” SDSU coach Aaron Johnston said this week, “which is fine with us.”",
null,
"“We’re going to try to do the same thing as last year with the Summit League tournament hopefully being a different kettle of fish this season,” said USD senior Nicole Seekamp, who is averaging 16.3 points and 6.3 assists a game. “We have three games left and we’re going to treat this next one just like the others. We’re going to work on the things we didn’t do so well the last time we played them.”\n\nBoth schools had a list on that count. USD turned the ball over 15 times and SDSU gave it away 19 times in USD’s 63-58 win. The Coyotes struggled through a 10-point second quarter and SDSU was outscored 38-26 in the second half on their home court.\n\n“We weren’t very aggressive,” said SDSU freshman Madison Guebert, who is averaging 9.3 points a game. “We didn’t handle the ball very well, we played too passive and we played not to make mistakes.”",
null,
"Lessons learned in that contest have been positives for both teams judging from what they’ve done collectively since then. USD is coming off an 86-50 win over Western Illinois and the Jackrabbits did about the same to Denver, defeating the Pioneers 80-52.\n\nSince the USD game, the Jackrabbits have been threatened only once, pulling out a double-overtime win over IUPUI at Frost. In their last seven Summit games, they’ve won by an average of 21.4 points.\n\nUSD, meanwhile, has won its last six games all by an average of 26 points.\n\nBest offense vs. best defense, with the flipside being that SDSU also boasts several gifted scorers and the Coyotes have played much better defense than they did earlier in the season.\n\n“We have to be better offensively -- we turned it over 18 times in that game,” Johnston said. “Their pressure got to us, we weren’t ourselves offensively and that was a credit to their defense.”\n\nMacy Miller leads SDSU in scoring at 15.7 points a game. Kerri Young is averaging 11 points. Of note for the Jackrabbits would be the 52 blocks Clarissa Ober has this season. She had eight against USD in the last game.\n\n“They have so many threats – they can attack you from inside and outside,” Seekamp said. “Clarissa Ober is a great shot blocker – it makes it hard to be aggressive and not be hesitant against them. But the main thing is that they’re threats from all over. Defensively they’re very smart. I think it’s going to be a gritty game from both teams.”\n\nFrost win worth the wait for Coyotes\n\nThe last one certainly qualified in that regard.\n\nSorting out the game’s actual importance, given the presence of the upcoming Summit League tournament and its automatic NCAA bid, is a little difficult to quantify if you’re looking at the next three weeks. If you’re looking only at Saturday, however, it’s not that complicated.\n\n“I think the biggest thing for Saturday is to try to keep emotions in check,” USD coach Amy Williams said. “We have to approach it with the mentality it’s just the next game on our schedule. That’s what makes it important. It’s a fun game to be a part of. We expect it to be a great atmosphere. We’d love to have make all of our alumni proud who are going to be back celebrating the last game at the Dome… We can’t make it bigger than it is – have fun and do what we’ve done to get it to this point.”\n\nJohnston sees it about the same.\n\n\"We try to embrace that stuff,\" the SDSU coach said. \"I don't know if we downplay it, but we don't hype it up, either. We try to approach it like any important game late in February -- they're all so critical so I feel like the best way is to be honest about the importance of it and see how we respond.\""

"MANILA, Philippines–None of the experts who inspected Makati City Hall Building II with a Senate panel on Monday categorically said the edifice was overpriced.\n\n“The experts did not say the building was overpriced, which is the issue being investigated by the Senate,” said Makati City government spokesman Lito Anzures on Tuesday.\n\nAnzures was present during the inspection conducted by the Senate blue ribbon committee chaired by Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III, with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV as the only other member who came.\n\nThe experts tapped by the committee, however, said the building was not world-class, having walls of gypsum board and rolled linoleum floors.\n\nBut Anzures countered that these “pop-up experts” were not the ones who would determine if there was an overprice or criminal liability, only the courts [would do that].\n\n“Random and piecemeal assessments made by engineers, architects and quantity surveyors tapped by the Senate are not conclusive and, therefore, cannot be used to validate alleged overprice. It is only the courts that can determine overprice and criminal liability on the basis of evidence presented and the testimonies of all parties involved,” Anzures said.\n\nHe was confident the plunder charges against Makati Mayor Junjun Binay and his father, Vice President Jejomar Binay, would be dismissed since the city government “fully complied” with the Procurement Act in the construction of the building.\n\nCiting the reviews conducted by the Commission on Audit (COA), Anzures noted the contract amounts in the project phases were all “reasonable.”\n\n“The COA consistently found the contract amounts and costs to be reasonable and within allowable limits of variance pursuant to COA Resolution No. 91-52,” Anzures said.\n\nThe Makati building is the subject of the plunder complaint filed against the Binays by former city officials Renato Bondal and Nicolas Enciso IV for alleged overprice after the construction ended up costing P2.3 billion.\n\nMayor Binay explained the cost by saying the 11-story city hall extension was “world-class” and a “green building.”\n\nAnzures said the data from the National Statistics Office the complainants used to come up with the purported lower cost and market appraisals “cannot categorically prove” overprice in the building construction.\n\n“The Davis Langdon and Seah Handbook cannot categorically prove the building is overpriced, nor can the ocular inspection of the building,” he said.\n\nSen. Alan Peter Cayetano referred to the handbook when questioning witnesses about the building in an earlier committee hearing."

"Bam and the dirt is gone\n\nThis shit cracks me up! Not because each time I hear it somebody has thought they are saying it for the first time, but because of the amount of times I hear it. It comes in many forms too. The most common is out hitting the piss and getting introduced to someone, they hear the name Bam and then “BAM? Bam and the dirt is gone! Bahahaha……” usually followed by the sound of the Indian guy on the new Instant Kiwi ads saying “it’s pretty funny aye”. The second most common one is receiving pxts from people all hours of the day. Someone will be walking down the isles of their local super and see the fantastic cleaner sitting on the shelves, their brain flashes with something hilarious to do and next thing you know I am receiving a picture of a bottle of cleaning product. At least I can’t get in trouble for dirty pics!",

"Back in intermediate and college I had always wanted a nickname. It even got to the point at one stage I tried to think of one for myself. I didn’t really think of anything that good apart from Viper and needless to say that never stuck. I completely gave up on the idea and the urge to have one never really came back.\n\nMany years later I met a new bunch of people who quickly turned into friends. I met them through a thing called the internet. It wasn’t some dodgy dating site as back then I spent my evenings in chat rooms and MSN trying to woo the ladies, no this was a motorsport forum which I had joined and not even thinking about it, used my license plate as my username. The username BAM666 was mine and as I started meeting this crazy bunch of car/alcohol enthusiasts I started being called Bam. As time went on it happened more and more often to the point where I was being introduced to my friends parents now as Bam. That is when I clicked….. I finally had a nickname!\n\nIt wasn’t long before my uniform had my new nickname as the name tag, business cards had it and when calling suppliers etc for work I was using the name. That is actually the hardest thing I have found with using it. I have a nightmare of a time speaking over the phone and giving my name. People very rarely hear what I am saying and automatically hear Sam, Dan, Stan, Ben, Ian or even Ean. Everything besides what I am telling them. I think I may have made things even worse now that I have called my new fabrication business Bam’s. I will be hoping that once I get suppliers saying the name of the company correctly the name for me will be pretty easy.\n\nWhile frustrating at times, I still love having a pretty unique nickname.",

"What to do about those pesky Ruskies, eh? You can’t live with ’em and you can’t live without ’em. Aside from their large presence on the international political, economic, and military scene, they basically won World War II. No, seriously, they did.\n\nNot to diminish in any way the heroism of other Allied troops who died on foreign soil at Normandy, in the Ardennes, and in the Pacific, but US troops invaded Europe in the final year of a six-year war. And, according to Wikipedia, the United States suffered 419,400 casualties while the Soviet Union suffered 27,000,000. That’s four hundred some thousand compared to twenty-seven million. And it was the Russians who liberated most of the death camps on the way to fighting the final battle of the war—in Berlin.\n\nPutin’s shenanigans notwithstanding, I fear that in the era of the Cold War many of us came to overlook the trauma of WWII on Russia, and by doing so, we lost sight of some historical facts relevant to our own age. I will not speak of the Czars—though I’d sooo love to, or of the reason for the “hard fist” modern Russia uses on the rest of the world. Alas, there is no room for those subjects on this tiny blog.\n\nSo I will speak merely as a feminist and a lesbian, and draw your attention to what women accomplished in the “Great Patriotic War,” Russia’s name for WWII.\n\nAfter two previous books about the war, one from inside the Third Reich and the other from the Résistance, I paid tribute to Russian women in The Witch of Stalingrad (which now exists in a Russian version as well). The title refers to the female pilots, called “night witches” by the Germans. They were one of three all-female air regiments (harassment bombers, daytime dive bombers, fighter pilots) deployed during the war.\n\nThe female pilots were the most glamorous, but in fact, during the course of the war, women became active in every military branch, not only behind the lines in communications and hospitals, but also in combat, as medics, machine gunners, tank drivers, artillery and anti-aircraft gunners, snipers, and partisans.\n\nWhile The Witch of Stalingrad honors women in the air war, The Sniper’s Kiss focuses on women on the ground. Literally. Lying flat out on the dirt, or mud, or snow. Between 1943 and 1945, sniper schools graduated more than 1,000 female snipers, and the “kisses” from their rifles killed more than 18,000 fascists (the Russians didn’t use the term Nazi).\n\nWere any of them lesbians? It’s a meaningless question, of course. Any woman growing up in a heterosexual society—not the least in a society at war—knows that affection runs along a spectrum from comradeship, through friendships of varying intensities, to (given opportunity) sexual intimacy. So, yes, I am certain some were and I felt justified writing about them.\n\nAnd by the by, thousands have asked the precise same question regarding Eleanor Roosevelt, the First Lady at that time, and her companion Lorena Hickok. Modern historians, no longer afraid of the gay now view them as lovers. Romantic speculation aside, Roosevelt was sufficiently interested in women snipers to invite the best of them, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, to visit the White House for purposes of promoting America’s entry into the war. That sounds pretty lesbian to me.\n\nAlas, the course of true love never did run smooth, and our American heroine Mia takes a real beating before she enjoys the sniper’s kiss—the good kind, that is—in the middle of Moscow. War and peace, hot battle and cold calculation, loyalty and love—bathed in deep soul-searching out of the pages of Dostoyevsky’s Brothers Karamazov. I wonder if anyone will notice."

"With the presidential election less than a month away, many American citizens are anxious to vote and have their opinion about the country’s future heard. Some citizens under the age of 18 wish they could participate, as well, but the election rules prohibit that.\n\nSome of these minors understand the rules, but don’t like the idea that they’re part of the country but not its decisions. Students at San Benito High School are particularly upset about this issue and wish they could do something to fix it.\n\n“It’s very frustrating [that I can’t vote] especially since I’m 17 and I can’t legally voice my opinion,” said junior Dominic Garcia. “Being 17, you’re so close yet so far and having my opinion of our country’s future overlooked makes me feel invisible.”\n\nWithout the ability to show that the younger generations of this country care about what will happen to it after the next president is elected, minors indeed feel like they aren’t a part of the process. “There are items on ballots that affect everyone in the country and minors are a part of the country as much as anyone,” notes Derek Barnes, a government teacher at SBHS.\n\nSome students argue that the voting age should be lowered, possibly to 16. Some say that 16 is when minors start learning about the importance of taking responsibility and initiative to interview for jobs or start driving. The age 16 is normally when students are juniors in high school and since the end of high school is near, they wish they could demonstrate that developing maturity by casting a ballot.\n\nThere are some disadvantages, however, to letting minors vote.\n\n“Some minors will take it [the election] as a joke or not take it as seriously as they should,” said freshman Ella Shara Pascua. Still, she said the advantages of younger opinions being expressed far outnumber any of the disadvantages. “Honestly, if minors were allowed to vote, it would be better because minors are more open-minded and have a different mindset than adults,” argues Pascua. She also noted that she and some of her friends know they have valid arguments about what the candidates are discussing and she is frustrated that she can’t legally share them in the voting booth.\n\nPascua and Garcia agreed that not enough adults take enough advantage of their voting privileges, which frustrates these teens even more.\n\n“I feel like most people [adults] don’t vote and don’t participate in their privilege of deciding our country’s future leader and I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to take part in that process,” Pascua said.\n\nBarnes added that not enough adults take part in the election process and says “we need more to do exactly that.” He said that if voters had a better sense that the candidates represented them individually, there may be a higher participation rate.\n\nWhile the issue of the voting age has troubled minors for many elections, many understand why 18 is the voting age threshold because it’s when “people are becoming independent and moving on to the next chapter in their lives,” Garcia stated. Although many older members of the minor age group feel this way, the argument of lowering the age is still “on the table” and many minors hope that one day they will have the ability to vote earlier than just 18 so they don’t have to miss out on elections such as the one on Nov. 8, 2016.\n\nI am a San Benito High School freshman with a strong passion for news and writing in general."

"Major League Baseball declared its first COVID-19 postponement of the season on Wednesday, as the Cleveland Guardians reported multiple positive tests for the coronavirus within their organization.",

"MLB postponed Wednesday’s game between the Guardians and White Sox after Terry Francona and others in the Cleveland coaching staff tested positive for COVID-19. (Image: Frank Franklin II/AP)\n\nThe league chose to postpone the game to allow for additional testing and contact tracing.\n\nThe Guardians announced earlier on Wednesday that manager Terry Francona tested positive for COVID-19 and would be out indefinitely.\n\nFrancona is 63 years old and has dealt with a variety of health issues over the past two seasons. He stepped away from the team in late July 2021 due to those concerns, and managed only 14 games in 2020 while suffering with a gastrointestinal issue.\n\nESPN reported that the outbreak mainly impacted Cleveland coaches and the team’s traveling party, citing sources. That same report claimed that some in the traveling party were symptomatic. A team spokesperson confirmed that Guardians bench coach DeMarlo Hale also tested positive for COVID-19.\n\nWhile COVID-19 cases have risen in some parts of the country, Major League Baseball has largely avoided any disruptions this season. That’s a stark change from the situation the league faced over the past two seasons.\n\nThe Guardians and the White Sox will make up the missed game on July 23 as part of a split doubleheader.\n\nWhile the current outbreak hasn’t impacted Cleveland’s roster, it has dealt with players missing time due to COVID-19 this year, as have many teams. Anthony Castro, Yu Chang, Owen Miller, and Cal Quantrill all landed on the COVID-19 injury list this season.\n\nBoth the Guardians and White Sox have put up mediocre results so far this season. For Cleveland, its 15-15 start hasn’t been a concern, as it started the season as a +950 longshot to win the AL Central, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.\n\nThe story in Chicago is far different. The White Sox came into the year as the -195 favorite to win the division, but struggled out of the gate. While Chicago has rebounded to win eight of its last 10, the team still sits at just 15-14, 2.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins.\n\nDraftKings still sees the White Sox as the favorite in the AL Central, though the race has tightened. Chicago is now a -120 favorite over the Twins (+160), with the Guardians the third choice at +750."

"Southwest airlines staying ahead in the pricing game questions\n\nPut in a side track, where the snow was still four feet deep and soon got the machine in good working order. That allowed established carriers which were weighed down by decades of embedded costs to revamp their expenses across the board—employee head count, aircraft leases, to the wine offered in first class.\n\nWe also created an internal company mentor program because I want the women in my office to get access to these speakers, hear their stories, and be inspired to take that next step. With a lurch, we ascend through the north end of the Arch. When we finally received an email response from American Airlines, the total response time was approximately 1 hour.\n\nAll lines lead to the Loop except the Yellow Line, which is a shuttle between the suburb of Skokie and the northern border of Chicago. Also, Southwest promotes celebration. See individual district articles for major bus routes through different parts of the city.\n\nNavy captain, Rosen is a vice president and general counsel for CNA. Louis is known for a handful of tourism landmarks and commercial brands but remains a mystery city to many would-be visitors. Adhering to strict environmental standards can also push money to where the regulatory burden is the lowest, he added.\n\nA jury cannot determine what the words of a statute mean. Buses run on nearly every major street throughout the entire city, and in many cases, every four blocks apart. Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Andy Mack said in an interview that final gas sales agreements would likely be signed nearly in concurrence with a final investment decision on the overall Alaska LNG Project.\n\nI soon crawled out and found the Engineer and Fireman both bleeding, the Locomotives smashed up, steam flying all around, the cars off the track, several men badly hurt and everything in confusion. Perhaps the most renegade change it needs is for its \"family\" to undertake a mindset change.\n\nAn elevator takes me to the roof deck. With six handy men it would do the work of fifty carpenters. Eating Plan Your Meals — Figure out where you will be and eat before you actually go out. Forrer filed the lawsuit on the belief that such sale would violate the Alaska Constitution, which has tight sideboards on what the state can incur debt for and how it must be done.\n\nAs its merger integration with AirTran comes to a close, Southwest continues to exploit its domestic strength by forging a presence in key US markets while laying the groundwork to bolster its international offerings in with service from a new international terminal at its sixth largest base measured by seats deployed, Houston Hobby.\n\nRosen said there have been talks about adding inspections in a vessels last port of call before embarking on an Arctic voyage, but such heightened scrutiny is not yet mandated. Pebble Limited Partnership spokesman Mike Heatwole said simply via email that the company will continue to work closely with the Corps to help the complete the draft EIS in a timely manner.\n\nThe leanness leads to the cross-functional communication. Shopping Duty Free — Many airports have duty free shops that you can take advantage of. If you do find a spot, check street signs to make sure that a no residential permit is required to park, and b parking is not disallowed during certain hours for street cleaning, rush hour or something along those lines.\n\nYour trip might not be as romantic as The Holiday movie with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law but if you are of the adventure type, this could be exciting and refreshing. SWA has drawn a lot of attention over the past couple of decades as a thriving company in the midst of an otherwise sluggish and seldom profitable industry.\n\nInstead, 45, people who signed the Ballot Measure 1 petition got a little upset about it. United States of America top 10 domestic cities by arrivals: One stroller and one safety seat per child will usually be excluded from the baggage allowance.\n\nIt is cheap basicallyefficient at timesand safe for the most part. The deal also comes with grocery shopping lists, which saves them so much time.\n\nThe combined organization would have nearly 43, employees and transport more than million passengers annually. Now Southwest is wrestling with tense labor negotiations similar to those that have long plagued its rivals.\n\nPardue insisted in her letter that GMT-2 will push wildlife resources such as caribou and wolverines away from the community, forcing hunters to travel farther to reach them and putting the villages food security at risk.\n\nAdditionally, the Transport Workers Union Local that represents SWA ground workers claims half of their members have not have a raise since Taxis can be hailed from the street throughout the entire city, and are most plentiful in the downtown and North Side areas.\n\nSouthwest has made a consistent practice of instigating special ticket price campaigns to encourage ticket sales on flights that otherwise would have had plentiful unoccupied seats. It is a fun experience, usually.\n\nWeebly makes it surprisingly easy to create a high-quality website, blog or online store. Over 40 million people use Weebly to bring their unique ideas to life. Waiting to book airlines tickets is a gamble you may not want to risk.\n\nSep 24, · - SWA pricing and departure cities will open up Hawaii to more people than ever before. (Both a positive and a negative) - Some passengers are aggressive in trying to hold the open seat for more space and can be rude when group C is looking for a place to sit.",

Prices are now 45.5% above their 2006 peak.\n\n\"The slowing acceleration in home prices suggests that buyer fatigue is setting in, particularly among higher-priced homes where the acceleration in price growth from the previous month has been larger compared to low tier homes,\" said CoreLogic deputy chief economist Selma Hepp.\n\n\"Price gains were once again broadly distributed, as all 20 cities rose, although in most cases at a slower rate than had been the case a month ago,\" said Craig Lazzara, managing director and global head of index investment strategy at S&P Dow Jones Indices.\n\nJust eight of the cities in the 20-city index reported stronger month-over-month price growth in August than in July. Prices rose by a double-digit pace across all regions, but were strongest in the Southwest (+24.1%).\n\nSeparately, new home sales rose for a fifth straight month in September, surging 14% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 800,000, according to a report released by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

"The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone1961",
null,
"Karen Stone (Vivien Leigh) is a middle aged former actress who moves to Rome after the death of her wealthy husband. The lonely widow is fawned over by a series of men seeking a short cut to the good life. Contessa (Lotte Lenya) is the pandering madame who sets Mrs. Stone up with Paolo (Warren Beatty). Karen falls in love with her handsome young \"escort\", who breaks her heart when he is given another assignment by Contessa. She is shamed and humiliated by the pretentiously prophetic gigolo, whose prediction comes true when the lonely woman swallows all her pride by again opening her bedroom door to him. Taken from the Tennessee Williams novel, The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone, this film marks Vivien Leigh's return after a six year hiatus.\n\nHenry McCarty\nas Kennedy\nView All\n\nCritic Reviews for The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone\n\nNot all the women who sleep with men young enough to be their sons die foi their sins, but most of them live to wish they had.\n\nThe disappointing pic is right in Vivian Leigh's wheel-house, as she inhabits her aging and fading beauty character to the fullest and gives a superb performance.\n\nAs the aging actress, Vivien Leigh is good but Warren Beatty is miscast as the gigolo in this weak screen adaptation of Tennessee William's novella.\n\nThe tagline says that they called it love and it was for sale, to which the appropriate response is that one hopes they kept the receipt.\n\nThe prose is so purple and the tone so overripe that ... what wants to be mature, sensual romance-novel boilerplate becomes instead a plodding exercise in intriguingly cast camp.\n\nAudience Reviews for The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone\n\nVery nearly a comedy in the same vein as Reefer Madness, this cautionary tale told to keep older women from even considering younger men is exaggerated to the point of rue. Warren Bratty interestingly plays an Italian so vain I bet he thinks this song is about him. Pass it by unless you could use some sad in your life\n\nA very real side of Roman life is shown in this film ~ love for sale. In the train station or on the beaches of Ostia, the ragazzi barter with male or female for cash. Young men parade themselves in hopes of bedding old, wealthy, foreign woman. Vivien Leigh is haunting in Williams' treatise on withering beauty, aging and diminishing chances for love. While Beatty's looks fit the part of a gigolo, he is unbelievable as an Italian, an unfortunate miscast. Leigh's abandonment brings the film to a chilling conclusion."

"Last week we got an invite to attend the launch event for the brand new and purpose built facility for Liverpool’s own Airborn Academy. Head over to their site to find out more about this awesome team and their set up.\n\nI thought this would be a great event and also an opportunity to try out the Hypersync ability of the Pocketwizard triggers with my Elinchrom Ranger lights. I dropped Martin an email to ask if they would be ok with me bringing the kit along and allow me to grab some shots of the displays that were going on as part of the evening. He was more than happy for that to happen. The day before, I spent a while sorting out the Flex TT1 and the PowerST 4 using the Pocketwizard utility and making sure all the settings were correct for Hypersync to work.\n\nI have to admit to being a little skeptical that I would be able to just select these options and it would then be plug and play. I had a quick read around some photography blogs and tried assured my self it would be fine and I wouldn’t be left looking daft!\n\nI managed to set up the light in a safe (ish) place so it wouldn’t get knocked over by the guests or any of the display teams. I then tried a couple of test shots, and, against what I thought, the set up really did just work! I needn’t have worried, the Pocketwizard system takes care of everything and removes all the guess work and worry out of using Hypersync, you really can just “set it and forget it” and get on with shooting. Surely, the ideal scenario?!. …I selected my aperture and was able to shoot at shutter speeds of between 1/1250 and 1/2000 of a second…AMAZING!\n\nIt worked flawlessly…I was using the A channel of the pack with the S head and standard reflector (the longer duration of the flash with the S head gives better results when using Hypersync). Here are a few images and a video of my favorite images from the session. I’m fairly happy with the results and am hoping to use the set up again soon with the Airborn team in the near future.\n\nThanks to Martin for allowing me to bring the kit to do the shoot and to Ryan for his patience repeating some of his moves, and to all the guys at Airborn…it was great working with you again and I’m looking forward to getting together soon for another shoot!",

"The most exciting and creative music being made today crosses stylistic boundaries and blends diverse traditions to create engaging new sounds. Charged Particles features three of the country's virtuosos doing just that in the acoustic and electric jazz arena. Murray Low is a keyboard wizard with dazzling Latin-jazz technique and imaginative improvisational skills. Aaron Germain is an inventive and sophisticated acoustic and electric bassist. Along with fiery drummer Jon Krosnick, these players are making some of the most electrifying jazz in the country today.\n\nThe trio's funky Latin jazz repertoire, blending in elements of classical music, mixes complex orchestration with freewheeling improvisation. The band brings a similar approach to playing their own arrangements of jazz standards, each played with a new twist.\n\nAll of the trio's music has a distinctly acoustic sensibility, despite the members playing both acoustic and electric acoustic instruments. The group's hallmark is sensitivity and spontaneity among the players, making each performance a spontaneous group exploration. The band's energy level is always high, even when they are cooking at a volume no louder than a whisper, or floating through the melody of a romantic ballad. Watching the group, it’s obvious that they have fun playing together and admire each other’s musical instincts",

"Murray Low, Aaron Germain, and Jon Krosnick at the Rochester International Jazz Festival 2019 (photo by Marcie Ver Ploeg)\nCharged Particles made its public debut on National Public Radio Affiliate WDET's live performance program, \"Detroit Jazz Alive\", originating in Detroit, Michigan. The group's one-hour live performance drew wide attention and opened the door to performances at festivals and clubs around the world. In addition to its own headline performances, the band has opened for national recording artists such as Al DiMeola, Stanley Jordan, Yanni, and the group has had such international mega-star drummers as Peter Erskine and Dennis Chambers and percussionist Doc Gibbs sit in with them.\n\nIn 1994, Charged Particles released its first compact disk, on Schoolkids Records. The CD received airplay on over 200 jazz radio stations nation-wide and was praised by national jazz critics in such outlets as Jazziz Magazine, Jazz Times Magazine, Jazz and Blues Report, Pulse! Magazine, and many more. A performance by the group was included on the compilation CD, The Columbus Collection, featuring outstanding jazz artists from Columbus, Ohio, and released in 1996. The group’s second CD, “Sparks”, was released in late 2002 on BOPO Records, received airplay on nearly 100 radio stations within two weeks of its release, and has gained attention from critics in many American publications and in magazines as far away as England, Denmark, and Japan. “Sparks” was named one of the eight “must-hear” jazz releases of 2002 by The Other Paper, and the opening track from “Sparks” was included on the “Jazziz on Disc” sampler CD mailed to 85,000 subscribers of Jazziz Magazine in March, 2003.\n\nIn 2001, Charged Particles added a fourth member to its performing ensemble: master percussionist Ron Hope. Ron brings a sparkle to the band's performances and has added strong elements of African and Latin musical roots to the group's performance repertoire. Ron consistently delights audiences with his charismatic on-stage personality and propulsive drumming.\n\nWhen Caleb Hutslar moved to Sweden, Jim Maneri sat in the keyboard chair for a period, and then a new generation of Charged Particles was born, featuring the world-renowned Kim Pensyl on keyboards and the amazing Andy Woodson on bass. Twice named one of Billboard's Top-20 Contemporary Jazz Artists of the Year, Kim is a prolific composer and an amazing performer. Andy is also a great composer and band-leader who brings energy to the electric bass reminiscent of Jaco Pastorius. With this personnel, the band performed around Ohio and toured the country as well, including performances in North Carolina, Michigan, and Chicago.\n\nIn 2011, the third generation of Charged Particles was born in California. The west coast trio began with Murray Low firing up the keyboards and Jason Muscat on electric bass. When Jason joined the touring band \"Tainted Love\", Aaron Germain took over blazing on the acoustic and electric basses. Playing new original compositions, as well as the long-time original repertoire of the band and compositions by their favorite contemporary composers, Murray, Aaron, and Jon are busy gigging.\n\nHighlights for the band in recent years have been a performance on the main stage of Yoshi's San Francisco jazz club accompanying French Vietnamese guitarist Nguyen Le playing his compositions, an appearance accompanying vocalist Kevyn Lettau singing her compositions at Cafe Cordiale in Los Angeles, and performances in the Los Angeles area with keyboardist David Garfield.\n\nThe band has been collaborating regularly with powerhouse vocalist Rocío Guitard.\n\nAn exciting innovation for the group has been its collaboration with powerhouse reed player Paul McCandless (of the famed super-group Oregon) playing his own compositions. The group has been appearing as headliners at the famed jazz clubs Birdland (in New York City), Blues Alley (in Washington, DC), Yoshi's (in San Francisco), and Nighttown (in Cleveland), as well as at the San Luis Obispo Jazz Festival, the Stanford Jazz Festival, the Erie Blues and Jazz Festival, and other venues around California and the east coast.\n\nAnother exciting project is a celebration of the music of tenor saxophone great Michael Brecker, featuring Bay Area tenor saxophonist Tod Dickow. The group has been bringing alive Brecker's music and spirit. Their CD of the music gained acclaim in numerous jazz publications world-wide, including lengthy feature articles in Jazziz magazine and Jazz Times magazine, plus airplay on numerous radio stations in the U.S. and abroad. The trio has been touring with Dickow around the U.S. and in the U.K., and a recent sold-out show featured Brecker's brother, acclaimed trumpeter Randy Brecker, at the famed jazz club Birdland in New York City.",

"The Los Angeles Lakers sacked head coach Frank Vogel on Monday, saying a change of leadership was needed after the club’s shock failure to reach the playoffs.\n\nLakers general manager Rob Pelinka confirmed Vogel’s dismissal in a statement, a day after the club’s miserable campaign drew to a close.\n\n“This is an incredibly difficult decision to make, but one we feel is necessary at this point,” Pelinka said.\n\nSpeculation over Vogel’s future intensified after the Lakers’ final regular season game on Sunday, with ESPN reporting that the coach – who led the franchise to a 17th NBA championship in 2020 – would be fired.\n\nTalking to reporters later Monday, Pelinka said the Lakers’ season had been “disappointing at every level.”\n\n“When you have disappointment you need to take ownership of that and make adjustments to be better,” Pelinka said.\n\n“Today’s not going to be a day of finger-pointing or unwinding all the specific reasons, we just felt organizationally, that it was time for a new voice.”\n\nThe sacking came as Lakers players addressed the media in end-of-season interviews.\n\nLakers superstar LeBron James said before the dismissal was confirmed he had “nothing but respect” for Vogel.\n\n“I respect Frank as a coach, as a man,” James said earlier Monday.\n\n“The partnership that we’ve had over the past few years has been nothing but just candid, great conversations.\n\n“He’s a guy who gives everything to the game. Prepared us every single night with his coaching staff.\n\n“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I’ve got nothing but respect for him.”\n\nVogel bristled when asked about his reported dismissal immediately after the Lakers’ 146-141 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.\n\n“I haven’t been told shit and I’m going to enjoy tonight’s game, celebrate what these young guys did in terms of scratching and clawing and getting back in this game and getting a W, and we’ll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow,” Vogel told reporters. The Lakers finished the 2021-2022 campaign in 11th place in the Western Conference, missing out on the postseason with a dismal record of 33 wins and 49 losses."

"SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (2015)\n\nCompletely generic and predictable horror/comedy finds three nerdy boy scouts (Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller and Joey Morgan) teaming up with a stripper (Sarah Dumont) as they search for one’s sister (Halston Sage) during a zombie outbreak (does one town merit an apocalypse?).\n\nThere is literally nothing new or even remotely clever in this routine zombie comedy directed by Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones‘ Christopher B. Landon, who, for some reason, needed three co-writers to crank out a by-the-numbers flick with little or no inventiveness or originality. We get exactly what we’d expect…a lot of gore, even more vulgar toilet humor and the typical ‘nerd wins hot chick by battling evil’ scenario that has been done to death since the 80s. It’s not that the flick is ever really boring or badly made, it’s just that it is completely void of anything that might set it apart or deviate from the same formula, be it zombie comedy or ‘nerd becomes hero’ flick, that has become commonplace by now. Landon did a good job with Marked Ones and gave us a few scares and a second wind with a well worn franchise and formula. So, why he couldn’t do the same here is disappointing. The cast all have fun with the material, at least and feisty Sarah Dumont is notable as eye-candy and ass kicker. Also stars Krampus‘ David Koechner as a Dolly Parton obsessed scout leader.",

"Sequel finds Deputy So and So (James Ransone) now having left the force and tracking various murder cases, linked to Bughuul, across the country. His search leads him to a secluded church and farmhouse where a mother, Courtney (Shannyn Sossamon) and her twin sons (Dartanian and Robert Daniel Sloan) are hiding out from an abusive spouse. Of course, this is a former crime site and Bughuul and his child minions have their sights set on one of the boys.\n\nThis awful sequel makes the big mistake of having the worst character from the first film be the lead here. Of course he’s called Deputy So and So, because Deputy Dewey was already taken. This weak flick is surprisingly written by original flick scribes, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, though this time directed by Irish director Ciaran Foy. The original had it’s moments, but was a bit overrated, but this sequel is just boring, sluggishly paced and gives us nothing new or interesting about the thinly written, generic boogieman Bughuul. Most of the screen time is taken up by his creepy spirit children trying to coax one or the other of the boys to join them in murder and Deputy So and So being just as annoying as last time. It’s a snooze-fest with zero tension, suspense or legitimate scares. A complete waste of time and surely a disappointment for fans of the first flick."

Tickets for Star’s fund-raiser, which is co-hosted by Newark Mayor Cory Booker, cost $10,000 each or $15,000 per couple and include a photo reception and dinner.\n\nStar has also teamed up with co-host Alicia Keys on the event and arranged a performance by Mariah Carey.\n\nThe president and First Lady Michelle Obama are expected to attend both fund-raisers.

"God’s chosen people, the Israelites, were not happy. Freed from serving the Egyptians and making their way to the Promised Land, ten of the twelve spies sent to scout out the land which the Lord had promised them had returned with a negative report. According to the narrative, these spies said, “The land through which we went, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight” (Numbers 13:32-33, AMP). Caleb, on the other hand, had told them, “Let us go up at once and take possession of it; for we will certainly conquer it” (v. 30), but they were having none of it. The report of the majority carried and the people believed them. They had again forgotten what God had promised.\n\nThe narrative continues, “Then all the congregation [of Israel] raised their voices and cried out, and the people wept that night. All the Israelites murmured [in discontent] against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, ‘Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or that we had died in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us to this land [of Canaan], to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?’ So they said one to another, ‘Let us appoint a [new] leader and return to Egypt'” (Numbers 14:1-4). The Lord did not hesitate to address this murmuring. He spoke to Moses and Aaron saying, “‘How long shall I put up with this evil congregation who murmur [in discontent] against Me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites, which they are making against Me. Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just what you have spoken in My hearing I will most certainly do to you; your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, even all who were numbered of you, your entire number from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me'” (vv. 26-29). Read the rest of the chapter for a front-row seat to the full conversation.\n\nWhy did the Lord act so swiftly and decisively against them for saying what was on their collective minds? It was what they said and how they said it. This was not an honest complaint, the expression of grief, pain, or discontent, but rather a formal accusation or charge against the Lord who viewed this as disrespectful (v. 23). In other words, while the Lord invites honest complaints, He does not invite, allow, or tolerate disrespect. If there was an eleventh commandment, it would have probably been “Thou shalt not murmur.” The Lord hates it.\n\nHow can we know or differentiate between the two? Dave Shives (pp. 90-91) tells us five crucial ways: 1) Murmurers complain about what God has done, all the while failing to recognize that God is at work about which they murmur (Ex. 16:2); 2) murmurers talk to others about God instead of talking to God while a godly complaint is reported to Him (Ex. 16:8); 3) murmurers are captivated by the “hopelessness” of their pit experience, while biblical complainers know that God is able to deliver (Ex. 17:1-3); 4) murmurers lash out at whatever or whomever is convenient to blame, while biblical complainers know that they are angry with God (Ex. 17:4); and 5) those who murmur can only envision the worst, while those who complain to God remember His promises and remind Him of His obligations (Ex. 14:10-12). May God grant us the grace and wisdom to know the difference."

"Natalie Maines and her Dixie Chicks bandmates, encountered a gigantic controversy in 2003 after Maines made comments about then-President Bush and the Iraq war while touring overseas. Shortly after, the group went their separate ways and, with the exception of a few private performances, they have not performed together at large scale venues since.\n\nThe Chicks, who were one of the best-selling U.S. female groups of all time, recently went on a six-date European tour this spring. They also have a new set of dates scheduled for 2016, including shows in Amsterdam, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. Their comeback comes close to a decade after the release of their most recent, all-original album, 2006′s Taking the Long Way.\n\nTour info for the European shows is available on the Dixie Chicks’ website.\n\nCountry music fans are very loyal and we may forgive but we’ll never forget…are we ALL ready to make nice? Can’t we just go back to the way things used to be? Truth be told, if the Dixie Chicks decide to do a U.S. Tour, we would most likely be in attendance."

"Thanks in part to Cycling UK, there’s a new 30-mile off-road circular route on Salisbury Plain. Sophie Gordon rode it with colleagues.\n\nBlustery wind blew hard over the wide open landscape of Salisbury Plain. Fortunately we were riding a circular route. After a while it was at our backs as we breezed along rutted gravel tracks, skirting (mostly!) around the deep puddles. We were testing a new 30-mile loop around the perimeter of the Ministry of Defence’s Imber Range. Until now, this was only for walkers. Over several years, Cycling UK and the British Horse Society have worked with the MoD to develop a rideable route. The Imber Perimeter Path allows uninterrupted access around this beautiful landscape, while keeping users safe from military training – including live firing and tactical movement by large vehicles. As the MoD’s James Nevitt told us: “Keep to the path for your safety”. Surfaces vary from tarmac and gravel tracks to grassy (muddy!) byways. It’s hard work in winter, but in summer it’ll be a great gravel bike route full of fascinating archaeological landmarks, with views stretching for miles.\n\nBattlesbury Hill and Scratchbury Hill are both crowned by Iron Age hill forts. Luckily, the route goes around rather than over these steep-sided lumps.\n\nThis replica village was built during the Cold War for military training, and has an eerie ghost town feel as you ride past.\n\nThere aren’t many refreshment stops close to the route, but the Rose and Crown in Tilshead is very nice (despite its lack of crisps).\n\nImber Range is used for military training, including live firing and large vehicle manoeuvres. But if you stick to the marked perimeter path, you’ll be fine.\n\nA lovely viewpoint on a sunny day. From the top of the hill, you can’t see the 55-metre horse on the slopes very well, but you can explore the Iron Age hill fort of Bratton Camp.\n\nAs you head back into Warminster you’ll pass a dramatic steep slope down to the marvellously-named ‘Kidnapper’s Hole’ – there’s definitely a story behind that!",

"Silence at the International Monetary Fund",
null,
"The 2018 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group unsurprisingly did not produce any major policy breakthrough. Nor did participants and observers emerge with a better understanding of how the tension between current global economic growth and future risk is likely to play out in the absence of better policy.\n\nOne might be forgiven for thinking that ministers were responding by rote. While the appropriate lines were delivered, there was a sense of disquiet underlying the debates. As first deputy managing director of the IMF David Lipton observed, global growth is currently running above potential which means it will slow down in a couple of years. The IMF also warned that downside risks were increasing which could accelerate a slowdown. The Fund called for members to take advantage of the blue skies to undertake structural changes now. However, it seemed no one was ready to outwardly speak about the risks that the United States imposes on the global economy.\n\nThe lack of productive discussion around trade protectionism and debt — two topics that surely keep the IMF awake at night — exemplified this.\n\nThe United States’ recent actions — like tariffs on steel and aluminium, or proposed trade sanctions on China — are those of a bully and threaten relations around the globe. At the spring meetings, it seemed that no one was prepared to seriously challenge the American representatives, who had gone so far as suggest that flagging the trade issue could provoke the ‘old man down the street in the White House,’ so to speak. And so, the communiqué satisfied itself by “recognizing the need for further dialogue and actions.”\n\nWhile the United States is not alone in its focus on trade issues, none share the White House’s tactics which only serve to alienate and pose a risk of igniting a global trade war. Canada has attempted to help alleviate these stressors in the past by facilitating discussions in the Group of Twenty (G20) to try and bring about agreement. Stanley Fischer, an exceptionally admired economist and former vice-chair of the US Federal Reserve, noted that China’s maturity amid the current trade dispute is encouraging. Nick Lardy, a respected expert on China’s role in the global economy, noted that the current narrative of China’s intellectual property theft were highly exaggerated.\n\nStill, silence reigned when it came time for official debates on trade protectionism.\n\nDiscussion on debt followed suit. As monetary policy normalizes and interest rates rise, some countries, particularly in Africa, will become debt-distressed from having taken on too much debt at abnormally low interest rates. As for Canada, we continue to benefit from a relatively low debt level — arguably a legacy of former Prime Minister Paul Martin’s time. However, by ourselves, we will not escape the buildup of government and corporate debt globally, which now exceeds the level reached just before the 2009 financial crisis by 12 percent. China and the Unites States account for a large portion of the buildup and it’s expected only to increase. As Sheila Bair, former head of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, stated at a conference last week, China has begun to rein in its credit growth and she only wished the United States was making as much progress.\n\nThe projected growth in US debt resulting from the recently-passed tax reform will rise to levels last seen during the second world war. Its impact on growth at a time of low unemployment will lead to a worsening of the United States’ trade balance and thereby exacerbate protectionist calls. This will also leave the United States with little room for response when the next recession arrives — and it most surely will.\n\nCanadian trade and interest rates will be negatively affected too, as in 2009. And yet, despite the risks and lack of action, participants failed to pressure the United States or call for policy changes.\n\nTechnology and trust were other themes in vogue. Subjects including fintech (financial technology), cryptocurrencies, impact of digitalization, robotics and artificial intelligence on jobs and growth all raised more questions than answers.\n\nTrust — or rather the lack of trust — directed at institutions of governance, including multilateral institutions like the IMF, was identified as an issue that must be tackled. But garnering trust requires transparency and an open dialogue, not bullying tactics designed to forestall debate.\n\nPerhaps the most disquieting aspect of the meetings was the success of the United States representatives in harrying others into silence on trade and other issues. The divide-and-conquer tactics appears to be winning, but it certainly won’t help in regaining trust. The United States has stepped away from its role as the longstanding leader of the global multilateral rules-based system — but no other country can replace it today.\n\nCanada, a middle-sized economy, can’t fill those shoes. But given its leadership in helping transition the multilateral system from G7 to G20 leadership, it now needs to help lead the world to a position of shared leadership.",

"Palm Springs and Idyllwild Geography Named After an Evil Shaman\n\nIn Palm Springs, hikers can explore Tahquitz Canyon on a two mile loop trail that leads to a waterfall. In Idyllwild, rock climbers can challenge themselves on Tahquitz Rock, which is also called Lily Rock.\n\nThe names of both geographical features are explained in the legend of Tahquitz, the evil shaman who once lived with the Cahuilla. The Cahuilla are bands of Native Americans who have lived in the inland areas of Southern California for 3,000 years.\n\nThe Legend of Evil Tahquitz\n\nMukat was one of the twin creators of the world and of the Cahuilla people. He gave Tahquitz magical powers and made him the first shaman. At first, Tahquitz helped his people and taught them how to gather food and predict the weather. He could suck illness out of individuals and blow the evil away.\n\nBut, for reasons no one knows, evil crawled into Taquitz’s heart like a scorpion. He went up into the Moreno hills and practiced wicked magic until he became powerful enough to fly. Eventually, Tahquitz returned to his people in Palm Springs, but he hid his vile thoughts from them.\n\nAs shaman, he would still visit the sick and kneel over them to heal them. But, instead of sucking out the evil, Tahquitz would suck out a little bit of the essence of the person. The people began to notice that, for the first time, illnesses did not heal but, instead spread throughout the tribe. Hunters found animals lying dead and looking like dried husks.\n\nThe people knew that a dark force had descended upon the tribe. One day, the Creator Mukat made bows and arrows. The people saw the arrows on the ground, their sharp points glistening in the sun. They refused to touch them.\n\n“Don’t be afraid,” laughed Tahquitz. “Arrows can’t harm you. Look!” Tahquitz held an arrow in two hands and plunged it into his stomach. He pulled it out and there was no wound. “Watch this!” He picked up another arrow and stuck it through his head. He laughed and danced to show he felt no pain.\n\nExcited, the people picked up the bows and arrows and began to shoot them at each other. They thought it was a game. The dust rose as they ran and played. But, when the arrows were gone and the dust settled, many men lay on the ground. The others tried to wake them up, but they couldn’t.\n\n“You tricked us, Tahquitz!” The people chased him up into the canyon and banished him from the tribe forever.\n\nTahquitz fled to the waterfall and then flew up into the San Jacinto mountains. He made his cave inside Tahquitz Rock, above Idyllwild.\n\nThe reason the rock looks white is that Tahquitz turned the walls of his cave into transparent stone. Even today, he sits in his cave, ruminating on his banishment. He can see through the walls and he watches humans in the world below.\n\nTahquitz is always hungry. He feeds on the souls of the living. At times, he enters the hearts of sleeping people and spreads his poisonous thoughts. He causes car wrecks and plane crashes. Tahquitz delights in anything that brings harm to the people.\n\nWhen he is angry, Tahquitz causes earthquakes, droughts, wildfires and flash floods. You can hear him in the thunder and see his eyes flashing in the lightning of a desert storm. Sometimes, in a rage, he hurls rocks down the mountainside. That is why you still see fresh landslides of giant boulders in the canyons and on the hillsides.\n\nTahquitz Abducts a Maiden to be his Wife\n\nIn the early days of his banishment, Tahquitz would come down into the canyon and watch the Cahuilla people from a hidden spot.\n\nOne morning, at dawn, while the moon was still reflecting in the water, Tahquitz saw a beautiful maiden plunge into the green tree pool to take a bath.\n\nTahquitz’s heart filled with lust and longing. He had to have her as his wife! Tahquiz leaped out of the bushes and captured her before she had time to call out.\n\nHe flew back to his cave in Tahquitz Rock. The girl cried and begged him to release her, but he refused.\n\n“You will be my wife here in this cave. You will sit beside me and together we will feast upon the souls of the living. Power and magic will make you happy,” Tahquiz said.\n\nBut the girl loathed her husband. She tried to starve herself, but he forced her to eat his horrid fare. She wept night and day. Her hair grew thin, her skin grew pale, and her body grew rawboned.\n\nHe kept her prisoner for two years. But one day, for reasons no one knows, Tahquitz looked at his wife and the lust in his heart changed to pity.\n\n“I will take you back to your people. But, you must promise that, for three years, you will not tell a soul about what happened to you or your life with me.”\n\n“Oh, yes! I promise not to tell anyone,” said the girl. Tahquitz stared at her with his evil eye and she knew he would kill her if she broke her promise.\n\nTahquitz picked her up, flew down the mountain and returned her to the green tree pool in Tahquitz Canyon where he had first abducted her.\n\nThe girl returned to her family. At first, everyone was happy to see her because they had given up hope of ever finding her. But, when they asked her where she had been she refused to answer. Day after day, they pestered her.\n\n“I can not say,” was always her reply.\n\nEvery moment of every day, the village elders, her parents, her friends all demanded to know where she had been and what she had been doing. She could feel their love turning into suspicion. Her secret isolated her from her people.\n\nFinally, she could take it no longer. Although she knew Tahquitz would kill her, she told the people to assemble in the large house and she would tell them the truth.\n\nShe stood before her people and told of her abduction at dawn and how Tahquitz had taken her to his cave. Tears fell from her eyes and dripped off her chin as she told them how she begged for her release. Her people made murmurs of sympathy.\n\n“And, even though I tried to resist, he forced me to be his wife.” She heard a gasp from the people and angry growls from the men. “And, then, then…he forced me to eat the souls of the living with him.” She looked up and saw horror on the face of every man, woman and child.\n\nPeople drew back to avoid touching her as she walked out of the large house and to her own lonely bed. As she lay down, she welcomed death. Anything would be better than the revulsion of her people. Tahquitz killed her that night in her sleep.\n\nThe Cahuilla people warned each other not to hike in the canyon alone or at night. They feared the spirit of Tahquitz and his evil ways. However, hippies, hikers and the homeless have long been attracted to the waterfall and stream.\n\nTahquitz Canyon was officially closed in 1969 after some teenagers spray painted and vandalized the canyon. However, you could still sneak inside it. When I first moved to the desert in 1990, I went for a hike alone in the canyon. I didn’t know anything about the Tahquitz legend at the time. But the canyon felt evil and scary. Homeless people lived in the bushes. As a 22 year old woman, I knew the danger I was in and left.\n\nI returned later that year with my husband. Together, we hiked up the canyon to the falls. I felt eyes upon us the entire time. I wasn’t comfortable and could still sense danger in the air.\n\nDespite this, the stream was flowing and plants were in springtime bloom. The falls rushed down the granite wall and filled a pool at the bottom. My husband and I saw a yellow and black garter snake swimming in the pool. I had never seen a snake swim before. Only his head stuck out of the water like an elephant’s trunk!\n\nIn 2001, the Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians built a visitor center and improved the trails. They have rangers patrol and the canyon is closed at sunset. There is a $15.00 fee for hiking Tahquitz Canyon. My husband and I returned to the canyon in November this year.\n\nAlthough the waterfall was dry, the hike was delightful. Sycamore trees displayed fall colors and the oak trees had acorns. Hummingbirds sipped from red Chuparosa flowers. Due to the fee, the trail wasn’t overrun with hikers and the canyon felt peaceful. I am happy to say that any sense of Tahquitz’s menacing presence was gone.\n\nThe visitor center has a good collection of books on the Cahuilla and California Native Americans. My retelling of the Tahquitz legend was based on the film shown in the center and the book titled The Cahuilla Indians by Harry C. James. I also used Stories and Legends of the Palm Springs Indians by Francisco Patencio and Margaret Boynton and the L.A. Times."

"XXIO is a primo, high-end golf club brand in Japan (also part of the Cleveland/Srixon group) that’s making a serious push in the US market with a whole crop of new gear.\n\nThe XXIO Prime line includes woods and irons and is aimed at players looking for lightweight performance, increased clubhead speed and distance, and a bit of a draw bias to straighten out the old banana ball.\n\nThe XXIO Prime driver ($849) is available in 10.5° and 11.5° lofts and features a super lightweight (36g), 46″ shaft designed to maximize speed for players with moderate-rate swings. A larger sweetspot comes from a cup face design with a bigger, thin area in the clubface as well as a wider footprint from heel to toe. Extra ballspeed and a bit more forgiveness come from a sole channel that increases face flex on strikes away from the center of the clubface.\n\nIn addition to all the impressive technology is the placement of a 4g stainless steel weight in the heel portion of the sole, making it easier to square the clubface through impact and promoting a draw bias for lower spinning right-to-left shots.\n\nXXIO Prime fairway woods ($579/each) and hybrids ($379/each) are also available, both packed with their share of design features that promote faster ballspeed and distance. Like the driver the fairway woods (15°, 18°, 21°) are built with a cup face design for faster ballspeed at impact and a lightweight shaft (38g) for quicker swings. A shallow-back design leads to a lower, deeper CG for improved launch angles and higher MOI while a 2.5g stainless steel weight in the sole promotes a draw bias.",

"Update: I’ve just released version 1.01, which fixes a handful of bugs (and also makes the game a bit less problematic regarding sex work.) You can get the new version from the game’s itch.io page!\n\nThere is one bug I can’t fix: some people have reported playing for a while, quitting, and when they go to start it up again, it just crashes. This is normally caused by a corrupted settings file. The good news is, you can delete it and the game will make a new, clean one: the file is called “settings.gd” and is found (on windows) in “C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\LocalLow\\James Patton\\Masques and Murder_”. The bad news is that the game forgets which endings you’ve completed, but that’s not a huge price to pay.\n\nMusings: Back in 2014 I had just written about the closure of freeindiegam.es and was thinking about short but creative projects. “I should do a project like that,” I thought. “Something interesting and fun but with a short production cycle. I bet I could finish it in a month or two!”\n\n18 months later, here we are. Oh how I suck at scheduling.\n\nBut on the plus side, I really like how it turned out! And other people seem to like it too. So it’s all lovely. Except for the brutal murder-theme, I suppose, which is not really particularly lovely."

"My name is Ardhira Putra; I’m an Indonesian Illustrator and animator based in Singapore. My work is inspired by the nostalgic pop aesthetic of the ’80s and ’90s; it’s a joyful memory from the past when I was a kid.\n\nFor the past few years, I have created illustration and animation for the global music scene. From Mataharibisu (Indonesia), Macross 82-99 (Mexico), Nice guys record (France), and recently I created a visual graphic for merchandise, LP design and also animation looping for Englewood’s track Crystal Dolphin (United States). The song was already famous, having been used on millions of TikToks over the last year, but the official video takes it to a new level.\n\nMost of my inspiration comes from the past. I was born in 1988. At that time, my parents listened to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” album a lot in the morning. Actually, it’s a funk and disco genre, so the foundation to love city pop was already established by my parents. In Indonesia, in the ’80s and ’90s, Japanese cartoons were on TV shows everywhere. My childhood was filled with pop references from those years. When I was in high school, I liked to watch MTV music channels on the television. I’m in love with all the MTV idents; that was the first time I knew about motion graphics.\n\nI graduated from Multimedia University Malaysia in 2012 in Film and Animation. Back then, I worked in an animation company and did motion graphic freelance. From 2012-2017 I worked in a media company creating motion graphics for brands and short film animation. There was a time that I thought working in the Indonesian creative industry was a bit repetitive in terms of art style. Working in the creative industry, you need to follow the client requirements, and you use a similar graphic trend for that era. In 2016 it was all about flat design and gradient colour. The industry became saturated with these designs.\n\nAs a result of this, I tried to collect ideas, read some materials from the past, played vintage video games and watched the 80s-90s anime. Back then, I didn’t follow gaming’s evolution. There was Sony PS 3 and 4, but I realised I preferred digging into materials from the past. It was then that I accepted that I love the retro era.\n\nI then incorporated all the materials into my work. It started with the music video for an independent rock band in Jakarta named Barefood. The band also has a 90’s vibe. I created an animation for part of the music video, around 30 seconds. After the video was released on YouTube, I put my work on Instagram. People liked it, and other artists and agencies started to connect with me. I was invited to present my work at an exhibition called Giffest in Singapore. The appreciation makes me more confident in exploring more of this retro pop Asian culture.",

"My style is like stepping back in time with a combination of ’80s and ’90s graphic design and poppy colour palettes, with nostalgic references to boomboxes and cassette tapes. I have loads of inspirations, and most of them come from vintage and Asian pop ads. I can be inspired by a poster, an album cover, a billboard, a TV commercial, my favourite Japanese cartoon as a child, and vintage video games like Sega Saturn or Nintendo 64. I used to create a simple comic or a simple board game and show it to my friends. That was an exciting and joyful moment from the past that I want to share with others through my art now, and I’m glad some people also relate to my work because they also lived in that era. Some people have said that my work somehow felt nostalgic but also had a sense of future.\n\nI only draw or animate the visuals that really matters to me. My artwork is like a time travel machine to me, and it is good for my mental health and it always has been pleasant doing it. For me creating art is really about personal experience and honesty. I always have a mindset that creating art has to be a delightful hobby, you must always love to do it. Every act that is based on love is always an enjoyable one and it is a bonus if the viewers and collaborators also enjoy what you are doing.",

"NICEGUYS LOVE YOU VOLUME 2 Visualizer for a Niceguys compilation music NIceguys is a music label from france.\n\nI never expect anything from the audience that view my work. But lately, there’s appreciation from audiences who lived in a different era from me. Of course there are some audience from the vintage era who are familiar with objects in my illustration or animation, like retro cars or colour vibes, but lately the younger generation want to hear my journey. These make me think that nostalgia can be shared with everyone.\n\nFrom my experience, some techniques are essential in my work. When I was in college, I learned that observation was crucial because it helps you immerse in the subject to deliver the right feeling for your work. I always sketch, draw, write what I find interesting in my journal, from movies that I watched, podcasts I have listened to, or just draw ordinary objects in daily life. The other thing I do is always to practice 3D software’s and learn illustration techniques. I currently use adobe illustrator and also cinema 4d. I have learned shortcuts and methods that help create my style and keep pace with demand.",

Every act based on love is always an enjoyable act, and it’s a bonus if the other people also enjoy what you are doing.\n\nI am glad that I am honest with myself and really like what I am doing right now. If you believe in something, try to be passionate about that and try to make your ideas come true. I worked in the creative industry for about 5 years; after that, I started creating personal work that I believe in. It took me 5 years of practice and exploring to become confident, and I’m happy with my decision.",

"Jordana has dropped the new single “To the Ground” as the latest preview from her upcoming album, Face the Wall.\n\nThe admirably uplifting tune is described in a statement by the 21-year old indie-pop singer-songwriter as “about being alone and starting from square one, not knowing how and where to start, a venture into adulthood. With the path to growing up, it’s wanting to not ask for any help on any growth to feel accomplished and self-brought-up, emotionally and physically. The only help being asked for in this song is to be stripped completely and figuratively thrown to the ground to get back up.”\n\nThough she leads into the chorus by singing, “It’s not that I need your help or anything/ But if you’d like to start me off that would be pretty cool,” Jordana keeps much of the responsibility to heal herself internal, asking more for a nudge in the right direction rather than an intervening push from external forces. The accompanying video, directed by Thomas Lange, represents the song’s rebirth-from-within as the singer, draped in a black dress and long-dried mascara runs, has an extended crack-up in the desert chasing her own pristine, white-gowned vision before finally falling off her axis and rising up anew. Watch the full visual below.\n\nFace the Wall will be out on May 20th via Grand Jury. It follows Summer’s Over, last year’s collaborative project with TV Girl, and her previous full-length Something to Say to You in 2020. Pre-orders are ongoing.\n\nJordana will tour the new album through the summer and fall in a series of headlining shows, supporting slots for the likes of Remi Wolf, Wallows, and Harry Teardrop, and an appearance at Firefly Festival in Delaware. Grab your seats via Ticketmaster.",

"Shelly’s pride is one of the most famously studied groups of lions in the Serengeti, probably the most photographed by professionals and tourists alike, and without doubt the most tame.\n\nThere are 19 in the pride and when we saw them a grand male and female were (literally) hanging out on a thick, low horizontal sausage tree branch together, their majesty rather compromised by various appendages and supple parts of their engorged bellies dripping from the branch like pancakes on a grill.\n\nMost of the fat ladies were on their sides clumped together under the shade of another sausage tree not far away. One collared female woke momentarily and dained to lift her head, An inhaling low groan of surprise that usually meets an acrobat on his way from one swinging bar to another arose from us assembled masses.\n\nAppropriately flattered, she got up by push-upping her shoulders leaving her belly spread among her giant rear feet. She yawned once then rose her hinds to amble with difficulty to a muddy puddle nearby. She lapped up quite a lot of water as surprise turned to conversational delight by the dozens of tourists. Cameras clicked like conveyor belts as she sashayed another 5 feet (towards the tourists!) to a bush of shade where she flopped onto her side, eyes closed before her head (which was the only part of her anatomy that was somewhat empty) slapped onto the ground.\n\nI was expecting applause.\n\nThis Lion Thanksgiving wasn’t made of grilled rabbit. It would take a full grown buffalo or multiple zebra at the least to inflate the bellies of these big beasts to the extent they were. At a feast like this lion can increase their body weight by a third.\n\nBut they weren’t hyperventilating, so it had been at least a full day since the kill. There were no vultures soaring or jackals prancing or hyaena drooling, so the mayhem was over.\n\nBut then as we left them I saw soaring out of the sky one lone white-backed vulture.\n\nCompletely unlike vultures – which never tame or habituate – the giant bird skidded to the ground literally to within 5 or 6 feet of a vehicle two vehicles in front of ours.\n\nSkid is also unlike a vulture landing which is always one of the most beautiful aerodynamic feats in the wild kingdom. Different species land in slightly different ways. The giant lappet-faced, the largest, seems to float its 6-foot wing span onto the ground like a helicopter. The smaller hooded sneak into the fray like little drones with quick precision.\n\nThe more common Ruppels and white-backs like the one we were watching tend to make the most ostentatious appearance, spreading their wings wide (5 feet or so) before splaying their feathers to look grander just before touchdown, carefully lowering their mendacious-looking curved neck below their feet, which are hooked out like giant wicked witches’ clamps ready to snatch up anything in their way, before finally settling onto the ground.\n\nAt which point they strut about like anxious heavy-weighters in the ring before the blood begins to flow.\n\nNot this lady. While her soar was pretty if unusually curved, she nearly slammed to the ground. Once she uprighted herself her head drooped until the long curved bill touched the ground. It stayed like that as if she were drinking. But there was no water there.\n\nWhen we moved closer, she still didn’t move.\n\nThe other two cars ahead didn’t seem interested so moved right past her. I stopped our car just beside her. We saw a huge piece of carrion sinew stretched out of her neck onto the ground and several times she tried to swallow but couldn’t.\n\nAt first I thought she was choking, but as I watched her for just a few more minutes it was clear her infirmities weren’t accidental. Her “strut” practically tipped her to her side; she had trouble walking at all.\n\nLife is not a serious of rapidly clicked digital images. The stories of life require patience and curiosity, an amalgam anathema to the Nikon D60. Reluctantly I had to forego my observations as my clients had filled their memory cards with enough vulture. But as we pulled away I began to understand someting plausible:\n\nThe old lady vulture had been sitting in a tree somewhere, and she knew she just wasn’t able to compete in the maelstrom of a dozen sometimes two of vultures dispersing the last of a kill. All her relatives were long gone with full gullets and probably lost feathers if not torn faces in the horrible fights that happen on the carrion.\n\nShe knew she couldn’t handle that. So she waited.\n\nWhat she hadn’t anticipated were the dozens of tourists cars that would continuously line up to see the creators of the event, and who were now taking three long days to sleep it off.\n\nSo finally driven by near starvation in one desperate last act she glided down to the place she’d been watching for more than a day terrified at how close to the cars it was. She landed on some bits left about.\n\nShe tried, but she couldn’t get them down her gullet.\n\nToo weak to fly away from those awful smelly machines, she started to walk to a nearby bush.\n\nShe was a magnificent old lady. Her feathers were unsoiled with the grime of blood and dirt exploded in the normal battles for carrion. Her faded brown feathers were dappled with the white of old age. She was pretty. Her heart was still trying to flutter with the fear of what she had done, but it was too old, so the hungry old dame ambled away as us old people do especially when embarrased with having been noticed.\n\nThe last glimpse I had was too distant. The lines of cars were moving steadily past her, uninterested, throwing balloons of dust onto her beautiful wings."

"A coin is a small, durable disk with a hole in the center. In ancient times, people valued their kingdoms in bulk and in coins. Whales’ teeth were once used as money, but they did not have any real value. The first form of coin currency was made from whale’s teeth. It was a kind of IOU and was a useful way to exchange goods and services between different parties. In the early modern period, the United States and other countries started issuing their own coins, and this was the start of the introduction of the dollar and the euro. The last banknotes in denominations of 50, 100, and 500 were issued in 1945.",
null,
"A shortage of coins led to a change in the way businesses operate. For example, Wawa recently stopped accepting coins and instead asked customers to pay with their cards or exact change. The Cherry Hill branch of a Canadian banking chain also banned the use of coins and offered a service that lets customers deposit change from cashed checks. The bank also has programs that donate the change to charities. These programs are meant to help the local economy and the environment.\n\nCoins were primarily used for payment by the Amerindians and were used as a currency in Europe. Amerindians also used Wampum, which was a form of coinage. Amerindians used Wampum as currency. Paper money is also considered currency. It is the most common form of money in the world. These are all forms of the currency. There are many advantages and disadvantages to using coins.\n\nA coin’s intrinsic value is determined by its value and its design. The original purpose of a coin is to store money. The first coin was minted in the United States in 18th century. Since then, it has been circulating in various countries. In fact, some countries use coins as a means of communication. This type of currency was first introduced in the 17th century. Aside from the ancient Egyptians, other early civilizations used them as a means of trade.\n\nIn general, coins are issued in a country’s currency. The government is the central authority of a country, and the Mint issues the coins for the various countries. The Federal Reserve’s National Cash Product Office controls coin production. It is the source of legal tender coins in the United States. The Mint is also responsible for distributing these currencies. Aside from their role in the world’s financial system, they issue these currencies for circulation."

"Health Canada has issued a recall for some Crock-Pot Multi Cookers because the lids can suddenly detach and cause severe burns.\n\nThe recall was announced on November 24 and applies to Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers that were sold between April 2018 and November 2020.\n\nThe affected products can pressurize when the lid is not properly locked, causing the lid to detach while the product is in use, according to the recall. Health Canada says this poses “burn risks to consumers from hot food and liquids.”",
null,
"According to the recall, 28,336 items were sold in Canada.\n\nAs of November 17, Sunbeam – Crock-Pot’s parent company – had received two reports of the lids detaching and causing burn injuries in Canada.\n\nIn the United States, however, they had received 119 reports, resulting in 99 burn injuries that range from first-degree to third-degree burns.\n\nThe affected Crock-Pot Multi-Cookers have model numbers SCCPPC600-V1 and SCCPPC600-V1-033 and were manufactured between March 20 and September 18, 2018.\n\nHealth Canada is advising anyone with one of the recalled products to contact Sunbeam for a free replacement lid."

"Swaayatt Robots, an autonomous driving research startup, raises $3 million in seed funding from US-based investors at a valuation of well over $65 million, which was their acquisition offer earlier this year, said the company. Founded in 2015 by Sanjeev Sharma and based out of Bhopal, Swayatt Robots is a trailblazer striving to make self-driving cars a reality in India and across the world.\n\nSwaayatt Robots is one of the few companies in India, which is working on developing state-of-the-art algorithms for autonomous vehicles. Unlike most self-driving car companies in the world that optimize their machine learning models for structured environments, Swaayatt Robots is focused on equipping vehicles with solutions that can allow vehicles to navigate in strenuous conditions.\n\nOver the years, Swaayatt Robots’ exemplary work has led to various performance breakthroughs in perception and planning, including (but not limited to) multi-agent stochastic traffic negotiation, tight space negotiation, object detection, semantic segmentation, and delimiters detection for self-driving cars. In the perception department, the company has previously showcased algorithms that enable autonomous vehicles to perceive their environments using only off-the-shelf cameras. Some of these techniques by Swaayatt Robots can outperform other existing algorithms by over 10 times, in computational efficiency.\n\nSuch advancements are highly essential for autonomous vehicles to work on Indian roads as it brings unique challenges — tight navigation, absence of delimiters, and narrow paths — from the rest of the world. A self-driving technology that might work in the US does not necessitate the same performance in India.\n\nThis is where Swaayatt Robotos is innovating and mitigating several challenges in real-world scenarios, especially on Indian roads. For instance, the company is researching in Deep Reinforcement Learning to learn, what the company’s founder calls, an “off-shift policy” algorithm for allowing two vehicles coming from the opposite directions to cross on a narrow road — a situation that is highly common in India, which requires vehicles to either go off the road or abort or yield for the other vehicle to cross.\n\nSwaayatt Robots continually innovates into a wide range of techniques, including inverse reinforcement learning, to accomplish Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy with vehicles. According to Sanjeev, around 70 percent of our research is focused on motion planning and decision-making under uncertainty. Around 25 percent of the work happens in developing real-time perception algorithms, and a fraction of the effort is centered around autonomous driving without LiDARs or RADARs. The other 5 percent of the research work is on enabling autonomous vehicles to work efficiently without high-fidelity maps, and in developing novel/new mathematical models for mapping the environments.\n\nHonda to use Artificial Intelligence technology for making roads safer"

"I picked this one up on a birthday book buying spree because I absolutely love escape rooms and I’ve been on a huge middle-grade horror and thriller kick lately. I love the cover, it’s very eye-catching and beautiful. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a huge fan of this book, but it hasn’t dented my love for the genre and I do want to try more from Christopher Edge.\n\nWhen twelve-year-old Ami arrives at The Escape, she thinks it’s just a game – the ultimate escape room with puzzles and challenges to beat before time runs out. Meeting her teammates, Adjoa, Ibrahim, Oscar and Min, Ami learns from the Host that they have been chosen to save the world and they must work together to find the Answer. But as he locks them inside the first room, they quickly realise this is no ordinary game.\n\nFrom a cavernous library of dust to an ancient Mayan tomb, a deserted shopping mall stalked by extinct animals to the command module of a spaceship heading to Mars, the perils of The Escape seem endless. Can Ami and her friends find the Answer before it’s too late?\n\nThis… was a weird one. I read it all in one sitting today, and ended up writing a review because I needed to process my thoughts. Because what the f did I just read. This was actually sitting at a solid 3 or 4 stars the whole way through, but the ending dropped it for me significantly.\n\nI’m a little uncertain on the expected reading age for this book. It has a very large font and the characters and writing seems to be a middle-grade book, but this was very scary for a children’s book. I’m talking characters straight up dying. Hardcore. It felt more YA in those moments. I liked the writing itself, it was an easy read and I found the puzzles and mysteries very engaging. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next and I liked the character cast. I did find Oscar kind of annoying – he had a character archetype and absolutely stuck to it – but overall they were a sweet group that had varied and interesting strengths.\n\nHowever. However. The ending. I… what? Our main character we’ve been following is an AI, and the whole escape room was aimed by her ‘father’ so she could fix climate change. Which, doesn’t make any sense in the context of the escape room puzzles, and also it went from being scary and interesting to kind of preachy. The ending was very vague and I ended up going from scared to flat out confused by the entire concept. Ultimately it wasn’t a bad book but the ending let me down quite a lot, leaving me disappointed and mostly just confused. Still, the writing was intriguing enough that I would pick up other books by this author to see if they were more interesting to me."

"The tiaras will be out in full force tonight at the annual diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace, with the Duchess of Cambridge sporting her much-beloved Lover's Knot headpiece.\n\nWe got a first look at Kate's ensemble as she traveled to the white tie event by car this evening. While photographers could only capture part of her outfit through the window, she was obviously wearing the tiara, and paired it with a navy velvet gown by Alexander McQueen, sparkly drop earrings, a matching necklace, and a chic up-do.",

"Kate in the car on her way to Buckingham Palace.\nSplash News\n\nIn addition to her statement jewelry, Kate is also wearing a blue sash this evening, which symbolizes her role as a member of the Royal Victorian Order.\n\nTonight marks only the second time she's worn the sash publicly since receiving the honor back in April on her eighth wedding anniversary.\n\nAt the time Kate was awarded the Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, a statement was released from royal communications announcing the news. It reads:\n\nKate also appears to be wearing her soft yellow Royal Family Order, a separate honor, which made its debut in October of 2018.\n\nHopefully additional photos from inside of the reception will be shared later on, as they were last year. We'll continue to update this post with details about Kate's gown if that is the case."

"Flak and reactions have been in no short supply for the embattled Chairman of Yakurr Local Government Area, Cross River State, Ofem Ebri Obeten, after the Legislature in his council, passed a vote of no confidence on him, one week ago and followed it up with an impeachment notice made public yesterday, October 11, 2023.\n\nRecent CR Central senatorial aspirant and development expert, Thomas Ofem, drew first blood when he wrote on social media that, “I actually expected this guy to do better. But he is the worst chairman Yakurr has ever produced. I don’t really blame him. He never planned to be a Chairman, so he had no agenda. I don’t think he is aware of his power as Chairman. He betrayed the trust of fellow grassrooters who thought he could change their fortunes.” He did not shy away from placing much of the blame for the chairman’s failure on John Inyang, the CRS Commissioner for Lands, widely known as the one who foisted the chairman on the people…”I blame John Inyang who installed him using his powers as “Yakurr Political Leader”. I hope John is happy now?”\n\n“I agree that the chairman is not to blame… the blame lies in the greed of some self styled leaders who knew very well that he is not competent, neither does he have the capacity to occupy the office of Chairman of Yakurr LGA, but they went ahead to impose him on Yakurr people. Yakurr … presented its worst foot forward to lead Yakurr…This is the worst administration ever experienced in Yakurr”, Ikpi Eyong, State Legal Adviser of the PDP wrote.\n\nEno Ofem Ekapong, an APC stalwart, shares the sentiments above and adds that, “I follow only the truth, this guy Ofem is sitting on the chair and someone is the chairman and I have spoken to him several times that what is happening will set doom for you but he thinks the powers of the legislators can be controlled by the so called leader, he is a shameless opportunist.”\n\n“Thomas Ofem, I am really happy that you called out John Inyang. We need to keep speaking up because their actions and inactions and also their failures rob us all of our glory as a people. We can’t continue to amplify failure! Yakurr deserves better”, Omini-Etimita Raymond, wrote.\n\n“First of all, what are his antecedents? Our people need to learn. You don’t just jump into supporting a candidate merely because a political god-father wants him. Let’s begin to change the narrative and root for people with leadership ability”, Felix Ikona insists.\n\nSources in Government House, Calabar, who have elected to remain anonymous, told www.calitown.com in confidence that state governor, Ben Ayade, is particularly not impressed by how the Yakurr counci boss and six other chairmen in the state have functioned and may use them as sacrificial lambs unless a last minute change of mind takes place. Ayade is said to be particularly irked that, “this man does not know that you cannot spend government money outside approved estimates. What he has done all this while looks like he is running council like it is his table market; he will not be shielded from the probable outcomes of his actions.”\n\nMeanwhile, the die may be cast next week Tuesday when his last window of opportunity and engagement with the Legislature takes place."

"Of course, that was before Evolution Gaming showed us a whole new world with their game show titles! Up until now, everyone thought your releases had to be based on existing casino games. But as it turns out, punters enjoy lucky wheels and game shows just as much!\n\nAll of this inspired Playtech to prepare an innovation of their own for us. Today, we’re taking a look at what just might be the next big thing. Say hello to Live Slots!\n\nHow Does it Work?\n\nWe know what you’re thinking. Aren’t slots a primarily solitary affair? How can multiple people control the spin button? The answer is simple; they can’t. Back in the day, Autoplay was a convenience feature that eventually became baseline. Now, it’s the only way to play live slots. If you prefer fast-paced slots action, this may not be your cup of tea.\n\nPlaytech has selected its super popular Buffalo Blitz as the experiment for this live dealer/slot hybrid. And, credit where it’s due, it works! The lack of player control can be quite annoying, we admit. But you trade that in for advantages in other areas.\n\nIf you follow any slot streamers, you’ll notice this game has a similar layout. There’s a chat window off to the side, but the camera is fixated on the large reels, and the dealer standing next to them. The dealer is purely there to keep the crowd excited and to talk with them. You can request the dealer presses the large red button for a manual spin. This doesn’t have any real effect, beyond possibly acting as a good luck charm.\n\nIs the Game Worth it?\n\nFrom our research, it doesn’t seem like the software provider made any changes between the single-player slot and its live variant. It’s still played on the same 6×4 board with 4096 ways to win. The RTP is also identical, sitting at 95.96%.\n\nAdmittedly, slots aren’t our favourite game. We’re live casino enthusiasts. These kinds of releases are something we play from time to time. Either due to a promotion, or when we want to relax with something colourful and engaging!\n\nBut we have a hard time denying Live Buffalo Blitz isn’t worth your time! If you played the original, you’ll know what to expect. And if this is your first time coming across it, you’re almost guaranteed to have a blast playing it! Even more with the dealer’s excitement driving you forward through the free spins round!\n\nThe Future of Live Slots\n\nIs there a future for this genre? If this Playtech release is any indicator, we think so. But unlike Evolution Gaming’s experimental titles, it’s not a sure thing. It doesn’t target a new niche of players. Instead, it tries to appeal to existing slot punters. Hoping the new experience it offers is worth the sacrifice of the convenience they’re used to.\n\nYou can’t deny the advantages it brings. We can’t think of a game that isn’t enhanced when it’s played with other people. Here, every win and big free spins round is shared by other players who are also wagering money. That means you can expect a lot of excited reactions in chat!\n\nThe dealer can also be a huge boost to your experience. A good dealer offers engaging commentary, and can often keep a conversation going with chat.\n\nIt’s not all sunshine and rainbows, though. As we said, you do sacrifice some convenience when you convert a regular slot into a live dealer game. You can no longer control the speed of each spin. You also can’t bet just one or two spins. You must make wagers in intervals of ten. It can get quite pricy, which is why we wouldn’t recommend Live Buffalo Blitz to new punters.",

"A Provincial Liberal spin-doctor, trying to justify the amounts of money spent (wasted) by the Government, wrote, “We’ve increased Guaranteed Income Supplement payments for seniors. We’ve started building more roads, bridges and transit to create jobs, and help you get to work on time at the end of a long day.” Would that be in a cart placed firmly in front of the horse, or is it as we go to our second job, to be able to pay the taxes to replace what they’ve frittered away?\n\nThe above ranks right up there with the sign in the Notre Dame football locker-room that says, “Success is getting up one more time than you’ve been knocked down.” Go ahead, try that. You haven’t been knocked down, so you only have to get up once…. This success thing is harder than it looks – especially in university mathematics.\n\nThe term for ‘It’s been wrong so often and for so long, that now it’s right, is ‘hypercorrect incorrectness.’ All those who haven’t nodded off, can now pray to have Archon’s OCD cured.\n\n“The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off.” And now I know why I’m so low-key. I am very comfortable in my own skin.\n\nDid I miss a language lesson somewhere??? When the Hell did ‘chick’ become ‘chic’? I collect the occasional misusage, to poke fun at. This has become endemic. I see it everywhere! Me and this chic went to a bar. Chic [sheek] means fashionable, stylish, elegant and/or attractive.\n\nGRAMMAR:\nIt’s the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you’re shit.\n\nWhile recently celebrating Columbus Day, certain Americans discovered that Canadians were celebrating our Thanksgiving, earlier than the US, because of our shorter growing season. Considerable confusion arose. “Well, do you celebrate Christmas and Easter at the same time we do?”\n\nI discovered another regionalism, but balked at the quote some Canuck used to explain it. “A washroom is just a polite way of saying bathroom.” No, it’s not! As my Grade 5 teacher explained to “that kid”, a room which contains a toilet/urinal, and a sink, is a washroom. If instead, it contains a tub, or shower stall, it then becomes a bathroom.\n\n‘Restroom’ is an already chi-chi way to describe a place where you can sit down, rest, and take a load off – your feet. ‘Powder room’ has nothing to do with explosions or demolition. It’s one of the above, full of euphemism, not powder. As a comedienne explained, “Women don’t fart, and we don’t sweat. If we didn’t bitch, we’d explode.” 😆"

"The BJP in Rajasthan will move a motion of no confidence in the state assembly against the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government, leader of opposition Gulab Chand Kataria said on Thursday.\n\nThe decision was taken in a BJP legislature party meeting held here on Thursday.\n\nAfter the meeting, Kataria told reporters that the motion of no confidence will be moved in the assembly session which is beginning from Friday.\n\nThe opposition party's decision comes days after an \"amicable resolution\" of the nearly month-long political cisis in Rajasthan.\n\nMeanwhile, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has called a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party at his residence on Thursday at 5 pm, a day before the state assembly session is scheduled to begin.\n\nParty sources said the meeting would be attended by former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot and other dissident MLAs.\n\nALSO READ: ‘Sometimes We Have To Be Tolerant’: Ashok Gehlot To MLAs As Sachin Pilot Returns\n\nThe Congress also revoked the suspension of Bhanwarlal Sharma and Vishvendra Singh, two MLAs who had rebelled against the Gehlot government.\n\nThey were suspended from the party's primary membership last month over their alleged involvement in a \"conspiracy\" to topple the Congress government in the state.\n\nCongress leader Sachin Pilot had openly rebelled against chief minister Gehlot last month along with 18 other party MLAs. He was then sacked as deputy chief minister and the party’s Rajasthan chief.\n\nThe Congress on Monday had said the crisis in Rajasthan was a \"closed chapter\" and all legislators supporting its government will work towards strengthening the state government and fighting COVID-19 and economic calamities."

"Two LaFayette High School teachers spoke on behalf of the LaFayette Teachers against Displacement (L-TAD) as a call to action during the LaFayette City Council meeting on Monday night. They announced a protest being held on Jan. 16 at 1 p.m. and called on the community and each council member to join them.\n\n“We, L-TAD, publicly denounce the board’s decision to place the new consolidated school in Valley … We want the families, alumni, friends and allies of the LaFayette community to know that we stand with you, and this is far from over. There is still hope, but we can only win if we stand together as a community,” said LHS teacher Tytianna Smith during the meeting.\n\nLaFayette teachers Smith and LaWendy Willis spearheaded the coalition after a meeting on Dec. 15 during which Superintendent Casey Chambley told the LHS faculty and staff that LHS school will be closed in May 2023 for the renovation of the new STEAM Academy.\n\nHe also said that LaFayette students would first be driven to Inspire Academy and then load onto a second bus to be taken to the new consolidated school.\n\nAccording to Willis, this meeting was on the day after the public hearing in Opelika on the consolidated school with US District of Middle Alabama Judge Keith Watkins.\n\nA group of eight teachers joined to advocate for a new consolidated school in an equitable location in LaFayette. The group’s mission statement is that it opposes the displacement of children in impoverished and rural communities and racially disadvantaged communities of LaFayette.\n\n“We’re not going to let that happen — not without a fight,” Smith said to the council.\n\nWillis said that L-TAD is concerned with the “12-hour shift, five days per week” that students will have with the added transportation time, the safety of elementary school children and the shutdown of multiple LaFayette schools.\n\nCouncil members Terry Mangram, Michael Ellis and Toney Thomas announced that they would join the protest. All the present council members, and the mayor declared their support for the coalition’s mission and stance.\n\nMayor Kenneth Vines said during the meeting that he would continue to fight for the consolidated school to be in LaFayette. He also joined the council members in announcing that he would be marching with L-TAD on Jan. 16.\n\n“I’ve been in the fight since day one, and I’ll continue to fight until there’s no breath in my body left to fight … I will definitely see you all on January 16th,” Vines said.\n\nOn Jan. 17, the L-TAD will continue the protest in Montgomery.\n\n“We are one, and this affects us all,” Smith said during the meeting. “We are one community, we are one family, and we are one LaFayette.”\n\nLast week, the L-TAD started a petition in support of their cause that has already gained 193 signatures."
