"In early 1942 the world was at war. The Allies were losing ground, in part because they couldn’t transmit messages without them being intercepted by the enemy. Japanese cryptographers were cracking Allied codes at an incredible pace, leaving the Allied forces at a severe disadvantage.\n\nRealizing this, a solution was proposed to the United States military that was unique to Indian Country. Native Americans languages were obscure, complex, and often unwritten, which made them ideal for creating and transmitting unique codes. Orders written in English were translated into unique words created using Native languages as a base and then translated them back to English on the other side. Pioneered by Cherokee and Choctaw Indians during World War I, Code Talkers were made famous by the more than 400 Navajo servicemen recruited during World War II to help level the playing field against the Japanese and Germans.\n\nThe Navajo Code Talkers were made up of Navajo tribal members from Arizona and New Mexico, many who had never traveled outside of their own reservation. The Code Talkers were deployed into the Pacific Theater and took part in every United States Marine mission from 1942-1945, helping the Allies regain control of the Pacific.\n\nJust three years after the first Navajo Code talkers began their mission, six battered American soldiers hoisted a flag over the island of Iwo Jima, signifying American victory and freedom. Nearby was a little known photographer named Joe Rosenthal who captured the image, the result of which immortalized the scene and the men forever. One of those men was a 22-year-old Marine from Sacaton, Arizona named Ira Hayes.\n\nHayes was a member of what was then called the Gila River Pima Indian Tribe and served in the Marines for three years, taking part in several battles throughout the Pacific. Hayes’ service earned him both Navy and Marine Medals of Commendation for acts of heroism, as well as the Combat Action Ribbon for performance under enemy fire. After the battle of Iwo Jima, Hayes became a national celebrity and, although he was never comfortable with his newfound fame, his pride in his service was unmatched.\n\nHayes and the Navajo Code Talkers may be the most recognizable, but Native Americans have served in the US military for nearly 150 years. Starting in 1866, dozens of Native Americans served as United States Army Scouts. Though these scouts were controversial, they were vital in providing knowledge and insight about the mysterious American West. Throughout their three decades of service, 16 Scouts won the US Medal of Honor for acts of valor exceeding the call of duty.\n\nThis Memorial Day, Native Americans throughout the US celebrate a strong tradition of service and contributions as well as a commitment to the land that is their home. Their service has led to countless acts of heroism and thousands of lives saved. Twenty-seven Native Americans have received the Medal of Honor, which is one small example of the bravery and resolve of this proud people. During this Memorial Day season, we remember their sacrifice and commitment to honor, service, and the freedoms that we all enjoy today."

"Happy Easter to one and all! How has your holiday traditions changed this year? We had scheduled a family vacation on Kauai from April 3 through April 13. I’m sure you can guess what happened to those plans. Today we are hunkered down in our individual homes and making the best of the situation.\n\nSince I’m not able to share any photos from the Kauai trip that didn’t happen I’ll share the results of a photo walk I took downtown a few days ago.\n\nI started at the Pleasanton Library. This was a Thursday afternoon when middle schoolers would normally be sitting on the grass or on the planters after school and waiting for their parents to pick them up. All was quiet this day.\n\nThe City of Pleasanton, California, incorporated on June 18, 1894. Although the town was named after Union Army Major General Alfred Pleasonton, a typo is responsible for the current spelling. The 24.2 square mile city was once a stop along the transcontinental railroad. It is home to the Alameda County Fair since 1912, and the Pleasanton Fairground Racetrack built in 1858 is believed to be the oldest 1-mile horse racing track in the United States. I wrote about the fairgrounds in my post 154th Scottish Highland Gathering and Games 2019\n\nWe’ve been missing our year-round farmers market that sets up every Saturday on this block. It would be difficult to practice the 6-foot distance along this street with the vendor’s booths lining the street.\n\nPeet’s coffee would normally be bustling with customers sipping their coffees outside at the umbrella-shaded tables. This store is closed while others remain open. Most of the restaurants, however, are offering pick and delivery orders.\n\nPeople who have or still do live in the area include: Phoebe Hearst, mother of William Randolph Hearst; John Madden, football coach and sportscaster; Scott Adams, cartoonist, creator of Dilbert; and Ryan Roxie, singer/songwriter and guitarist for Alice Cooper, Casablanca, and Slash’s Snakepit.\n\nIt’s difficult to find parking on most afternoons in this bustling downtown area. With the stores closed, drivers have the pick of spots.",
null,
"Although some of the buildings on Main Street have been torn down to make room for newer construction, there are still plenty that have historical significance. The Pleasanton Gas Station was built in 1933 in the Mission Revival style. The arch on the building behind the station was the entrance to a garage.\n\nThe Spanish Colonial building constructed in 1914 was once home for city hall, a public library, and the police station. The Museum on Main moved in after an extensive historical renovation in 1984.",

"We moved here twenty-five years ago. Although the town has grown a lot since then and traffic is much worse, we have not yet found any other place we would rather live. We’ve found plenty of places we like to visit for extended stays, but not to live year-round."

"Josh Reaume’s Suspension a Reminder That Ignorance Has No Bounds\n\nA report from Kickin’ the Tires stated the reason behind Reaume’s suspension was none other than a Toaster Strudel decorated in icing in the shape of a swastika. A photo of which Reaume posted via Snapchat, he confirmed in an interview with TobyChristie.com.\n\nI’m a professional writer and insist on writing anything on this site professionally. But in a moment like this, there is a level of ignorance that is nearly impossible to ignore – and dare I add stupidity.\n\nI am not here to call Reaume an anti-Semite or allege he holds any prejudice against Jewish people – or anyone impacted by the Holocaust, for that matter. I have never personally met Reaume, so I cannot and will not comment on his personal character.\n\nBut I am Jewish myself, so when an action like this crosses paths with the sport that I love and cover, it certainly takes me aback.\n\nIt should also be noted that it doesn’t take one being Jewish to acknowledge that, hey, maybe we shouldn’t be decorating our Toaster Strudels in swastika icing for that fresh Nazi flavor and subsequently taking a picture of it to then share on the internet, even in what you expect to be a small capacity.\n\nReaume detailed the moment he decided to ice his strudel – yes, I am quite aware how ridiculous this sounds – to TobyChristie.com.\n\n“What happened was, I made a Toaster Strudel, I put icing on it. I put icing on it arbitrarily,” Reaume recalled. “I can – now, that this has become such a significant thing in my life, everything is crystal clear now in what I was thinking. I was mindlessly putting icing on a Toaster Strudel, thinking about how I was going to arrange to get my daughter to day care in the morning, because that’s my responsibility and I was flying out to Phoenix the next day.\n\n“When I was done, I took a picture, I wrote, ‘Snack time,’ and posted it to my Snapchat, which I had no idea it was even more than my immediate friend group. [The account is] private, it’s not even under my name, to my knowledge. Now, shame on me for maybe not fully understanding Snapchat, and I don’t care to get on social media in the immediate future, but somebody obviously screenshotted it or did something with it and pushed it to NASCAR. I don’t know what the image looks like.”\n\nThat Reaume was mentally sidetracked while putting the icing on his Toaster Strudel is reasonable. In fact, that’s probably the exact time one can take to themselves to zone out for a minute. But to then perhaps subconsciously wind up drawing a swastika, then see nothing wrong with that picture is baffling to me.\n\nReaume is already suspended indefinitely by NASCAR and will require sensitivity training as a result of the anti-Semitic breakfast snack. He should come out of this situation far more educated on the subject and, more importantly, more aware of how serious Nazi propaganda was and is and how it spreads so easily.\n\nTo his credit, he acknowledged he meant no harm. But in doing so, he also revealed there is more for him to learn.\n\n“From the absolute deepest part of my heart, I extend my condolences for how their families suffered,” Reaume told TobyChristie.com. “And I apologize how anything that has come out has offended them or stirred up memories or brought pain into their lives. I sympathize with them in any way that I can. I have my own family. I have uncles and grandfathers that fought in World War II, and I thought what transpired during that time in the world is absolutely terrible.\n\n“My view on that will never change, nothing will ever change that. There’s some things you don’t joke about, and that’s one of them. When you have genocide of almost an entire people like that, a million-plus people, that’s just not something that you say, ‘Oh it’s been long enough, let’s joke about it.’”\n\nAs Christie clarified, 11 million people were killed in the Holocaust, including roughly six million Jews, which, yes, is technically a million-plus.\n\nReaume has apologized and since deleted his social media accounts. I believe he will be back in the Truck Series without issue in 2021 and will likely do the work to be cleared before February’s season opener.\n\nBut to be this naïve and careless with a symbol that represents pure evil and hatred and use it as a mindless joke is reckless at best and frankly plain dumb.\n\nI look forward to Reaume learning through this, but let this be a reminder to all that actions have consequences. I’m glad Reaume is facing his.\n\nZach has been part of the Frontstretch team since 2019 and has been covering NASCAR since 2013. Pocono Raceway is his home track and he's been attending races there since 2002. A fan since he was three years old, Zach is living out a dream covering racing, including past coverage of ARCA and IndyCar.\n@@zachstur\nPrevious Chase Purdy to Compete Full Time for GMS Racing in 2021\nNext Turner Motorsport Claims Alan Jay Automotive Network 120 Victory; KohR Motorsports Claims Title",

"I received a copy of 806 from Bookishfirst in exchange for a fair and honest review.\n\nIt’s been a while since I read a coming of age story, and 806 seemed really different and unique, so I wanted to give it a try. It’s the story of three siblings (well, half-siblings if you want to get technical) heading out on a quest together to find their father. It sounded nice and light and cheerful, something I could desperately use right now (between reading one too many thrillers and the constant winter weather fluctuations, something happy sounds perfect right about now).\n\nOur three main characters, KT (real name Katie, but insists on it being pronounced Kay-tee), Jesse, and Gabe. KT is pretty much a walking teenage girl stereotype; she’s in a rock band, dyes her hair, is a vegetarian, and a total brat. She’s also the main perspective for this story. The three children have nothing in common, except for the fact that they all have the same father. They all have the same sperm donor, number 806, as their father. Together they’re hoping to find him.\n\nI wish I could say I ended up enjoying this book, especially because I really wanted a change in what I was reading, and this seemed like such a perfect choice. Unfortunately I didn’t, and it was actually a struggle to finish this one.\n\nI will say that while I was annoyed with the book at parts (more on that later), I did really enjoy the lighter tone for the writing style. The problem is it really shouldn’t have been as light and fluffy as it was. It was jarring to have these kids trying to figure out who they are by hunting for their father – something that’s incredibly difficult to deal with, and yet the tone is pretty jovial. So while it was a bit odd, it did carry me through a good chunk of the book that way, so I guess I appreciate it.\n\nPart of the problem was I really didn’t like KT. While she may be a teenager that does not excuse the way she treats everyone around her. She stomps all over her mother, saying nasty things that she knows will hurt her, all to get her way. She hated her step siblings on sight, because they weren’t ‘cool enough’ for her. And to make matters worse, she’s a pushy vegetarian that makes all others look bad. A toxic combination, to say the least.\n\nI also have some real concerns about some of the subject matter in this book. All throughout the novel KT is being…well to be frank she’s being stalked. There’s a guy that has a massive crush on her, and even though she’s been more than clear about her lack of interest in him, he continues to pursue her and ask her out. He even goes so far as to hitchhike across the country to follow her. I can’t say this firmly enough: this is not healthy. Everyone reacts like it’s no big deal, and actually judge KT for telling him no. Again, this is not okay. In the end (spoiler warning) KT even ends up with the stalker. Let me say it again, this is not healthy or okay. I feel like the book went out of its way to normalize what is so very clearly an unhealthy and dangerous relationship.\n\nMy other concern has to do with the trouble of finding the children’s father. The whole thing is told in a fantastical sort of way, with unrealistic twists and turns throughout. It’s not being at all sensitive to the fact that there are real people in the world who have “do not contact” sperm donors for parents, and it doesn’t magically work out for them like it does here. This is also where the jovial tone really doesn’t help the plot. How am I to believe that any of these kids are actually struggling about who they are, when none of them actually seem to care? (Discounting the occasional temper tantrum here and there).\n\nOn the whole this book was a huge flop for me. Maybe if I hadn’t gone into it hoping to love it…but no I still think I would have hated KT and the really unhealthy subtext to this story. It’s such a shame too, because if this actually had been a happy story to match the writing style I might have loved it.\n\nI am an avid animal lover, photographer, graphic designer, and much more. I love to create art, and am willing to try any artistic technique at least once. I am particularly fond of artworks involving a lot of emotion and color. The purpose of my blog is for me to be open and honest with myself and the world about my attempts to grow as an artist. My other major passion is reading. My TBR pile is larger than I'll ever be able to read, and yet I can't resist adding to it on a nearly daily basis. I love to read science fiction & fantasy, graphic novels, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I have a couple of blogs, as you can see. One is primarily my photography, while the other are my book reviews. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!\nView all posts by Liz (AKA Cat) →\nThis entry was posted in ARC, Uncategorized, Young Adult and tagged ARC Review, Book, Book Review, Books, Literary, Literature, Review.

"Review of Plowin’ Thru, Church Basement Ladies ala 1975",
null,
"Quote of the Day: I need funny character women. Curt Wollan on his search for actors to fill the roles of Mavis, Vivian, Karin, and Beverly (Signe in the first installment) of The Church Basement Ladies. Also, a funny guy who can take hits from women as Pastor Gunderson. From an interview with co-author of The Church Basement Ladies series, Greta Grosch. One of the things I love most about these shows is the empowerment of women, women in comedy, and hearing them tell their story – through the creative works of Greta Grosch and the Music & Lyrics by Dennis Curley, as well as the fine direction by Curt Wollan.",

"Cast of Plowin’ Thru, 9th installment of The Church Basement Ladies, playing at the Ames Center in Burnsville, MN thru 2/15/23. Photo: Erica Zaffarano.\n\nThe ninth installment of this uber-popular series is currently on stage at the Ames Center in Burnsville, MN. I was able to connect with Greta Grosch this week to chat about creating these stories about the funny ladies in the basement. Greta Grosch and Janet Paone (who plays Vivian, the Widow Snustad) had been working together when Curt Wollan hired them to play Mavis and Vivian. They also cast Dorian Chalmers (Karin, Mrs. Elroy Engelson) and Tara Borman as her daughter Beverly. Tim Drake came on board as Pastor Gunderson, and the rest is history. In the current production, the original cast is back, including Gregory Eiden as Pastor. Greta said that they didn’t really know each other, or sing together before the first rehearsal back in 2005, but they connected with melodies, harmonies and a winning chemistry that has continued for 17 years! The original production, The Church Basement Ladies, ran for two and a half years, and is based on the book Growing Up Lutheran by Janet Letnes Martin and the late Suzann Nelson.",

"Mavis is in the freezer again! Greta Grosch as Mavis in Plowin’ Thru. Photo: Erica Zaffarano\n\nWhile performing in the original Church Basement Ladies, Greta started to get ideas for more shows. “I saw five more shows,” she said. She worked with Curt Wollan, first writing for the Medora Musical, then creating more installments of the Church Basement Ladies. Plowin’ Thru is #9, and I’ll have to say I love it as much as the first one. It feels so real. Having grown up in a rural Lutheran Church area, I can say that with confidence. Karin is feeling like she can do more – more than make sandwiches, more than raise kids and grandkids, more than disinfect the kitchen after a lutefisk feed. She’s feeling called to lay ministry, a service called Stephen’s Ministry, a real service offered to people who want to serve their congregation who are not ordained as pastors. In other words, she would do home visits and serve communion (gasp! Vivian isn’t so sure she likes that change!). It’s 1975, and we witness some very real restrictions for women of that time. Karin is denied access to her bank accounts after her husband Elroy dies because her name isn’t on any of the accounts. She can’t have her own credit card, and her son-in-law has to come in to sign papers. They bring this out in the show stopping song that closes Act I, “It’s a Man’s World.” (I’d go back just to hear that song again!)\n\nAs the franchise of the Church Basement Ladies has evolved, so have he characters these women portray. Greta said that when she writes each show, she thinks about what we already know about these women, then fills in the gaps. They all have a history, she thinks that through, then works it into the show. They all have relationships that need to be explored. And, of course, they all have their talents and quirks. In this installment, Mavis doesn’t hold back. She calls out Vivian on her stubborn attitudes. They visit community members to try to figure out why people aren’t going to church anymore. The actors play all these extra characters, as well, by changing something, like wearing an apron like overalls, or donning kitchen wear as caps. It’s hilarious and poignant. I want to go on and on about their antics, but don’t want to give too much away. You need to go see it for yourself.",

"Dorian Chalmers as Karin, Greta Grosch as Mavis, Tara Borman as Beverly and Janet Paone as Vivian in Plowin’ Thru at the Ames Center. Photo: Erica Zaffarano\n\nMany people in the audience (and they come in busloads) are long-time fans of these ladies and their stories. Quite a few have probably seen every show that they’ve produced. However, you could go to this one and understand fully who these characters are and their relationship to each other. I have not seen every episode, with regret. It would be fun if they started from the beginning and did them all consecutively for those of us who missed a few along the way, and for the super fans who will come again and again.",

"Janet Paone as Vivian and Greta Grosch as Mavis in Plowin’ Thru, on stage at the Ames Center. Photo: Erica Zaffarano\n\nAnd, now, for the big announcement: The Church Basement Ladies are coming to the big screen. Yep, you heard it here first on Play off the Page (or, at least I did when I chatted with Greta). In fact, Greta was working on the screen play when we connected this week. She’s been talking to people in LA, scouting locations for shooting the film, and getting the original cast on board. I’m so excited!!! The show has toured nationally, and now everyone will get a chance to laugh and cry with these wonderful women all over the world, as many times as you like!!\n\nThe Church Basement Ladies have a special place in my heart, not just because they are delightful characters who remind me of where I grew up, but also because I was in a local production of The Church Basement Ladies here in the Brainerd lakes area. It is by far the best time I’ve ever had being in a show. I’m endeared to my cast mates. In fact, Barb, who played our Mavis, accompanied me to Plowin’ Thru, and we both loved it. I did not get to see Greta on stage during this performance, however. Her understudy Melinda Kordich played Mavis, and she did a wonderful job, bringing out the laughs and physical comedy that we know and love from Mavis. Gregory Eiden played Pastor Gunderson and others.\n\nThe ninth installment of the Church Basement Ladies, Plowin’ Thru, is playing at the Ames Center in Burnsville, MN through February 15, 2023. If you’d like to know more, please read the press release below. Go to Ames Center for tickets and showtimes.\n\nJournaling Prompt: What are some quirky stories from where you grew up?",

"Cast of Plowin’ Thru, 9th installment of The Church Basement Ladies, playing at the Ames Center in Burnsville, MN thru 2/15/23. Photo: Erica Zaffarano.\n\nPlowin’ Thru offers audiences a return to 1975, as the rural Ladies negotiate cultural shifts in America. “We’ve been with these characters for so long,” says scriptwriter Greta Grosch. “We stay interested because they don’t stay the same. Growth is pressed on them by outside forces and, although they may push back at first, they eventually evolve. In this show, while they are glad to have Pastor Gunderson back from the big city, they aren’t ready to embrace his new ideas, or his new toupee! Mavis, Vivian and Karin have moved on and, in Plowin’ Thru, the Pastor is the one struggling with that.”\n\nThe show is produced by Curt Wollan, Troupe America, Inc., and features all new music and lyrics by Dennis Curley, part of the team since Church Basement Ladies #2. The script for Plowin’ Thru is by Greta Grosch, who also stars as Mrs. Mavis Gilmerson. Other stars of Plowin’ Thru include original cast members Tim Drake, Janet Paone, Dorian Chalmers, and Tara Borman, who joined the cast when she was only 19 years old. Borman took a few years off from the franchise to travel the world as a cruise ship performer, but is happy to be returning to the show. “I really have grown up in this kitchen,” says Borman, “so it will be great to come home again.”\n\n“Writing this ninth show in the series was a very different process because we lost Suzann Nelson, one of the ‘Lutheran Ladies,’ in 2021,” says Greta Grosch. “Suzann and Janet Letnes Martin originally created the characters of The Church Basement Ladies, and have been the inspiration for every show. I had been in constant contact with them as I began writing this one back in 2020. After Suzann died, I scoured every email and note I’d received from her so I could keep her unique voice alive. I know everyone who appreciated her perspective, her humor, and her love of ‘historical accuracy’ will see it shine through in this show.”\n\nTicket pricing runs from $34 to $42 for individuals, $28 to $36 for groups of 10 or more. Tickets are available online at ticketmaster.com or at the Ames Center Box Office.\n\nThe Church Basement Ladies shows are a franchise series of musical comedies, set from 1959-1979, focusing on the adventures of three women who serve their rural community and support each other from the basement of a rural Minnesota Lutheran Church. The original show was launched in September 2005, and was so successful that it continued on a two-and-a-half year run. Over the last seventeen years, more than three million theatergoers, locally and in touring and regional shows across the United States and Canada, have enjoyed Church Basement Ladies productions — that’s almost 50 million in gross ticket sales. Church Basement Ladies is a production of Troupe America Inc.",

"For my second book review here at Two Beard Gaming, I have been fortunate enough to explore another of my life-long interests, Hip-hop. At TBG, I am not alone in my love of all things Grandmaster Flash, 2Pac and Marshall Mathers, and it seems that the author of our next book would be as welcome here as I am!\n\nWritten by Roy Christopher, and published by Repeater Books, ‘Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future’ resembles all that is great about literature as an art-form. Whilst the subject matter may not appeal to all, what it explores and how it is articulated is something that many can both appreciate and learn from.\n\nWith an emphasis on tracing the story of how Hip-hop invented the twenty-first century, Roy Christopher considers how ‘the hallmarks of Hip-hop: allusion, self-reference, new technologies, sampling, cutting and splicing’, all define the culture of the new millennium.",
null,
"Whilst Hip-hop has always been a keen interest of mine, I have rarely looked beyond its artistry within the medium of music itself to understand its influence on the wider world. Due mainly, in part, to the incessant noise that those with a lack of understanding used to make about my listening habits, I spent large parts of my youth explaining just how intelligent hip-hop music is and why everyone should be listening to it. If only I had ‘Dead Precedents’ to reference at the tender age of 15 – I would have been much better equipped to deal with such nonsense!\n\nAimed at showcasing the role of Hip-hop in the creation of the world we now live in, Roy Christopher looks to share his thoughts and findings objectively and with supporting evidence. It is clear that Hip-hop and cyberpunk, another recurring topic throughout, are subjects that Christopher is passionate about, and yet he still somehow manages to approach said themes with grace and poise.\n\nChristopher has an extensive background in music, media and culture, with a career in literature stretching over 30 years. This 144-page book is indicative of his efforts to educate others on all things Hip-hop, and sets the bar high for research and reference. My time with ‘Dead Precedents’ was almost double what my Kindle eReader suggested it would be, as I found myself listening to tune after tune that Christopher had name dropped throughout. As someone who considers himself to be an avid fan of Hip-hop ‘old’ and ‘new’, I still found new music to add to my ever-growing playlists!",
null,
"Brimming with cultural references, interview quotes and industry insights, ‘Dead Precedents’ is an insightful look into the early days of Hip-hop and how it is still as relevant now as it was back then. Although it can occasionally assume too much about the reader’s background knowledge, it does well to inform and delight in equal measure.\n\nThe book is aptly named, and provides as clear an indication as one could hope for as to what the content will entail. In the same way that Hip-hop divides opinion, ‘Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future’ will divide readers too. For some, Roy Christopher will do no wrong here. For others, they may never take a second glance at the book on the shelf. For the open-minded among us, be them Hip-hop advocates or not, there is a lot to learn from the book. If nothing else, you can make a mean playlist from the songs referenced – something I am sure Roy Christopher would take as much pleasure in knowing as he would in the book itself being enjoyed."

"When I initially started this blog about 4 years ago, one of the first posts I ever did was upping a bunch of extremely rare songs and freestyles I had recorded off the radio in the 90’s. I was looking through my I-tunes the other day and happened upon them once again. I thought “Hmm, I should bring these back out cause, logically, my readership is completely different now than it was 4 years ago.”\nSo, as a gift to all you meticulous rap nerds who love underground rap from the early/mid 90’s, here you go.\nTo be clear, these are all things I personally recorded live off the radio from shows like Stretch and bobitto, Nighttrain and Martin Moore on WNYU. I Used to stay up way past my bedtime and go to school like a zombie just so I could have the newest shit to listen to in my walkman the next day.\nI’m not gonna do a track listing (it’s 27 tracks) but included in this folder of music are Rare freestyles from the artifacts, Jay-z, Cage, Redman, MAster Ace, ODB and many many more. Also, there are demo’s and unreleased songs. The demo’s are mostly obscure groups that never came out but there are a few that will surprise you. Including a super rare Kool Keith song and a Jay-Z song not many people probably know ever existed. Like I said, this is deep crate nerd shit but, if you’re like me, this will be your shit.\nIf you’re an audiophile who can’t deal with anything below a certain bit rate, skip this. This isn’t for you. This is all stuff recorded on cassettes off the radio. The quality varies but, at it’s best, it’s never amazing.\nSo, I hope you all enjoy this stuff. This is definitely the music of my youth and stuff like this is what inspired me to get into rap music in the first place.\nOLD NYC RADIO GOODIES!\nhttps://www.sendspace.com/file/n319hi"

"In December 2005 I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I was a Marine being deployed for seven months to Iraq, given leave to come home before going to the desert. It’s an 18-hour flight from Okinawa to the U.S. I had to catch a different flight in Houston, Texas to Miami, my destination.\n\nThere was a delay in Houston, so with a couple spare hours, I decided to grab something to eat. After eating, I stopped at the USO (United Service Organization) to see if there were any Service members heading my direction. I hoped to find someone to chat with during the flight, especially if they were a Marine, or had been in combat.\n\nAfter about an hour at the USO I headed toward my gate. When I got there I sat down in the waiting area, and decided to call my dad about picking me up in Miami.\n\nThen I realized my cell phone was missing.\n\nI looked everywhere, including the bathroom, restaurant and the USO. Having no luck, I used the payphone. I called my dad and asked him to cancel my account because I’d lost my phone. We share an account because he and my family want to be able to talk to me anytime.\n\nMy dad asked that I not worry, we’d just get a new phone once I got home. After our conversation, I made my way on board the aircraft with disappointment — I’d lost all my friends’ phone numbers, which wouldn’t be easy to get back.\n\nThe flight was about to close its doors so I walked to the rear of the aircraft to get seated. Two gentlemen were already seated in the same aisle, so I stowed my belongings and sat down.",
null,
"Not even a minute later a flight attendant walked up and asked if my name was Angel. I looked at her, and asked Why? She asked if I’d lost my phone and was the phone she held mine?\n\nI looked at her, looked at the phone and just couldn’t believe it. I mean, I am in Houston International Airport that houses many different airlines, serving tens of thousands of customers daily. When you lose something like a phone at a place like that, it’s bound to be gone forever.\n\nShe said a gentleman picked up my phone and saw a Marine logo on it, then scrolled down to my dad’s number. He called my dad, got my name and flight number, then took time off of his busy travel schedule and proceeded to the gate. He gave my phone to the flight attendant to return to me.\n\nThat phone was my only way of getting hold of everyone I care about, to be able to see them before leaving to combat, which at the time I thought was the last time.\n\nThat stranger did me a huge favor that day in Texas, and I am very thankful, even to this day."

"Making a biopic is a notoriously impossible gig. How can you pack an entire life, or even its highlights, into a ninety-minute to two-hour timeframe? How can you balance creativity with historical accuracy to produce a complex and innovative work of art without undermining the subject’s story? How should you elevate a biographical film beyond a mere rehash to “cinema?” These are all challenges director Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou) confronts in Harriet—and it shows. Faced with the monumental task of depicting one of the most revered figures in American history, Lemmons has created what is both a mediocre film and genuinely loving memorial to antislavery icon Harriet Tubman.\n\nThe film begins before Harriet is, well, Harriet. In 1849, she is still Araminta “Minty” Ross (the spectacular Cynthia Erivo of Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale), a young slave to the Brodess family. Thanks to the prophetic visions she’s been experiencing since a childhood brain injury, Minty realizes she’s about to be sold and separated from her husband John Tubman (Zackary Momoh) and the rest of her family. Determined to be free—dead or alive—Minty escapes her owners, much to the chagrin of Gideon (Joe Alwyn), the Brodess son closest in age to Minty. The two grew up together, and Gideon appears to be in love with her—or whatever the racist, murderous, tyrannical version of “being in love” is.",
null,
"I can’t find any information on whether Tubman’s real-life owner had these sorts of feelings toward her, so I’m curious as to why the filmmakers made this choice. Especially with heartthrob-of-the-week Alwyn playing Gideon, it initially felt a bit soapy and borderline disrespectful, like the director was studio-compelled to shove romantic melodrama into an already remarkable story. While Minty never reciprocates Gideon’s feelings and ultimately treats him with complete disdain, I thought I saw a few, ever-so-subtle conflicted glances on her part near the beginning of the film. However, I think Harriet probably means to show how deeply poisonous racism can be, causing Gideon to suppress his desires and express them through a violent need for ownership and control. That need only grows once Minty flees the farm and Gideon rallies up a search party that, unbeknownst to him, will last for years.\n\nWith Gideon on her trail and God as her guide—she thinks of her trances as conversations with the creator himself—Minty finally makes it to Philadelphia. There, she meets William Still (Leslie Odom Jr.) of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society and Underground Railroad and is taken under the refined wing of Marie Buchanon (Janelle Monáe). Here, Minty selects her “freedom name”: first name Harriet, after her mother, last name Tubman, after her husband. As Harriet begins trekking back and forth between the north and south, rescuing more and more slaves, she adopts another name, one stamped across every wanted poster in Maryland: Moses.\n\nIn following the protagonist’s slave-smuggling exploits, Harriet begins zipping around the East Coast in such a disorienting fashion that it feels like Philadelphia and Dorchester County are separated by as little as a hop over a picket fence. While Harriet’s first couple trips between the two towns are shown in grueling detail, the film soon pulls a Game of Thrones Season 7 and throws real-time travel out the window. Perhaps this goes to show how Harriet’s growing experience and confidence allow her to pooh-pooh the journey she once found so perilous, but it also leaves you scratching your head on where she is, how she got there, and how much time has passed.\n\nJust as the diegetic passage of time was unclear, I could never figure out how far I was into this film. While its meandering structure is true to life, and I understand the dangers of forcing a person’s life into pre-packaged story beats, Harriet sometimes feels less like a story and more like a sequence of events. Its two hour run time trudges rather than builds, concluding with a satisfying image, but an image nonetheless, rather than a culmination.",
null,
"Within this wandering narrative, however, the film raises some interesting points. Seldom have I seen internal conflicts within the black community depicted in slavery-era films. Harriet highlights the differences between African Americans who were born free and those who fought tooth and nail for their freedom. It may seem strange, considering the jump in genre and time period, but this brought to mind two recent examinations of the relationship between the haves and the have-nots among black protagonists: Jordan Peele’s Us and Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. While some aspects of Harriet feel dated, this detail feels very much of the time.\n\nThe film’s treatment of surviving as a slave—not just physically, but emotionally—is another one of its more insightful qualities. When Harriet returns to Dorchester County to retrieve her husband, he says he’s since remarried and has a kid on the way. Harriet is heartbroken and enraged. However, she then gets some perspective from her sister, who also remarried and tells Harriet she cannot judge them for moving on in order to stay sane. Not only does Harriet refuse to gloss over important realities in the slave experience—that one doesn’t have the privilege of waiting for loved ones and instead must constantly adapt and readapt to life—but it posits emotional endurance as equally important to physical strength.\n\nOf course, I would be remiss not to mention Marie’s response to Harriet’s heartbreak over John’s remarriage. “Harriet, you are so far beyond any man I have ever met,” Marie says while leaning over the bathtub and brushing Harriet’s hair with maternal care. “What’s a man to a woman touched by God?” In moments like these, Harriet gleams because its cast does. Erivo’s Harriet feels like a real person—both vulnerable and fiery at once, instead of some man’s imagining of a one-dimensional “tough” lady—and her relationship with Marie, while underdeveloped thanks to the film’s mad dash through history, is beautiful. Also notable is Henry Hunter Hall as Walter, a tracker Gideon hires to catch Harriet and the other escaped slaves. Hall is able to project an entire character arc in a single facial expression.",
null,
"With such a great cast carrying a flawed script, Harriet makes it even more difficult for me to critique it. I just wish the film didn’t so often feel like a very expensive, exceptionally well-cast History Channel reenactment. I wish it didn’t feel like something from the early aughts. The trumpet-stuffed score by Terence Blanchard (whom I usually adore in his Spike Lee collaborations) and treacly writing kept making me think of 2000’s Remember the Titans, which first felt annoying and irrational on my part. But it turns out Lemmons co-wrote the script for Harriet with Gregory Allan Howard, who is also credited for writing—you guessed it—Remember the Titans.\n\nAs much as I wish these things, I keep thinking about an escape montage set to Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman” that I genuinely consider to be a stroke of genius. More importantly, my heart did flutter watching Harriet come into her own as a leader, demanding that no one underestimate her ever again. That aspect of the movie clearly succeeds.\n\nHarriet is an imperfect film, but a worthy one, and I have to admire such an immense undertaking by Kasi Lemmons. While most of the film treads familiar ground, its protagonist does not; Harriet Tubman is a pioneer worth celebrating in theaters, and that’s reason enough to go see the movie."

"I generally conduct most of my work as community-based participatory research, or CBPR. This philosophical perspective asserts that partnering with local communities to co-lead data collection and research efforts yields findings that are immediately actionable and applicable.\n\nAs a member of the board Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking (LCHT), I serve as a co-Principle Investigator (co-PI) for The Colorado Project, which is a CBPR research program released every five years to work toward eliminating human exploitation. As we’ve been sharing our Colorado Project 2.0 findings across the state, community members and partners ask why collecting data and conducting original research is central to our mission.\n\nWhen I consider this question, I tend to use language about moving the needle in ending trafficking. How would LCHT ever know if all our efforts are making a difference? What if the work LCHT and community partners are doing just changes how traffickers respond and new vulnerabilities arise in the place of those we address? These are important questions addressed through these data collection methods. But bear with me and let me give an additional illustration about why measurement and evaluation are so essential to the anti-trafficking movement.\n\nSome of you might think this process is already happening, and there is a significant increase in the Colorado judicial system taking servitude cases since 2014. However, there is not evidence in any one of these steps to suggest that this series of steps is the reason for that increase in case fillings. An alternative explanation is simply that the legislation changed in 2014, which provided a clearer threshold for prosecution.\n\nYou might also argue that step 4 does not happen in reality; many survivors report that they have no interest in prosecution as part of their healing process. Or step 5 is still lagging in certain areas across the state. Or you might suggest that raising awareness will not necessarily mean that community members will report trafficking if they see it (step 2).\n\nSome scholars in the criminal justice field would argue that deterrence by locking up offenders does not have an impact on the prevalence of many forms of crime (step 6). Without effectively collecting data points at each possible step in this chain, we have no idea if this is a promising method for intervention. For all of those reasons, we (LCHT and I) argue that collecting high quality, publicly available data is essential to the movement to end trafficking.\n\nDuring the data collection process for Colorado Project 2.0, one finding that came out of the focus group methodology was that partnerships to combat trafficking are not collecting data on their joint efforts. I hypothesize that individual organizations are also likely not collecting data or not sharing it with partners when they do. One initial opportunity to begin collecting and sharing data is for partnerships to develop a handful of metrics that they believe would be meaningful to their community in ending trafficking.\n\nAt a convening in September 2020, partnership leaders gathered virtually to begin the conversation of sharing promising practices and collecting data jointly. LCHT was able to both convene and support statewide leaders during challenging times but also advance efforts to coordinate practices in the anti-trafficking movement. An example of research driving action.\n\nBy coordinating partnership efforts, we can make significant headway in understanding if the steps outlined above are a technique toward ending trafficking. If that process is indeed how communities reduce trafficking, then LCHT is able to share the success of raising awareness and prosecuting traffickers; however, if partnership data sharing efforts appear to suggest an alternative mechanism to trafficking reduction, then there is still more work ahead in understanding how to reduce vulnerabilities to trafficking. I argue that conducting research through a CBPR methodology will lead to more effective and efficient strategies and tools for healthier, safer communities."

"After years of buildup, 5G is finally here. Its networks are being built up around the U.S. and the world, 5G-capable smartphones are beginning to roll out, and the rise of the technology has even birthed a bizarre (and debunked) conspiracy theory that 5G is responsible for the spread of coronavirus.\n\nWith 5G Internet much faster than its predecessors, some have asked whether it will ever replace Wi-Fi or other forms of in-home broadband technology.\n\nThis question has been raised from time to time, and most experts say the answer is either no, or not yet.\n\n\"While it’s certainly possible that 5G can replace WiFi, there’s a good chance that it won’t,\" equipment supplier ActionTec wrote in a blog post last year. \"5G has too many limitations — like capacity and coverage issues. Plus, 5G and WiFi are better as complements rather that competition.\"\n\nAT&T's business site posted a similar sentiment, in regard to the future of financial services.\n\n\"This question [of whether 5G will replace Wi-Fi] has resurfaced with the emergence of 5G and Wi-Fi 6. Many industry experts believe that Wi-Fi will coexist with and can even be a key part of many 5G use cases.\" AT&T offers an e-book exploring that question.\n\n\"Don’t expect much to change at home,\" the site said. \"Rumours of home broadband’s demise in the face of 5G have also been wildly exaggerated, even if surveys suggest to go entirely wireless is what consumers would like. In fact, the radio frequency at which 5G operates, using higher millimetre waves, means it has trouble with long distances and penetrating walls.”\n\nAn analysis last December by Ars Technica stated that 5G \"can match the speed and latency of fiber-optic broadband, with downloads of 1 gigabit per second and ping times under 10 milliseconds.\" However, there are hurdles to that technology replacing broadband, as 5G lacks the speed and spectrum availability of broadband.\n\n5G and Wi-Fi services, meanwhile, are sometimes sold by the same companies. Verizon, in 2018, began offering 5G Home Internet, and it's now available in a handful of markets, including Chicago, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Indianapolis. A wider deployment is expected in the second half of this year.\n\nMeanwhile, Wi-Fi isn't going away. Wi-Fi 6 has begun rolling out as well, and the FCC recently approved the spectrum for its successor technology, Wi-Fi 6E."

"Wine Stories\nSparkling wine is a big-ticket item on Spanish consumers’ shopping lists during the holidays. Our long holiday season - from December 8 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception) until January 6 (Epiphany), means bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles. However, the highlight of bubbly consumption is on New Year’s Eve.\n\nSparkling wine is a big-ticket item on Spanish consumers’ shopping lists during the holidays. End-of-the-year sales account for about 40% of the total. This figure is disappointing for producers, who would like to see a more equal monthly consumption throughout the year but in Spain, still wine and beer is the norm until the holidays.\n\nCava is the category leader\n\nHere, the undisputed category is from the Cava appellation, a traditional method sparkler with the second fermentation in the bottle. They are joined by maverick producers who have pulled out of the Cava designation and a large amount of Champagne. All of the important Champagne producers and some smaller ones have distributors in Spain, many of them Rioja wineries.\n\nOur long holiday season – from December 8 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception) until January 6 (Epiphany), means bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles.\n\nWhile the rest of the world goes back to work on January 2, Spain continues to party throughout the first week in January. It’s no wonder that the last three weeks of the month are called ‘la cuesta de enero’ (the January hill’)!\n\nThe highlight of bubbly consumption is on New Year’s Eve. Here we have a wonderful tradition. Just before midnight, everyone turns on the TV to watch the ringing in of the New Year. A gold ball slowly drops from a tower on a building in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid as the clock strikes twelve and when it finally reaches the bottom…Happy New Year!!! People put on funny hats, blow into noisemakers, throw confetti, open bottles, and glasses are refilled.\n\nHow Spain is different\n\nWait a minute! Don’t they do the same thing in every country? Yes, but in Spain there’s a twist. Everyone at the dinner table has a bowl of twelve grapes in front of them. Each time the clock strikes midnight, you have to eat a grape. The idea is to finish the last grape as the clock strikes for the twelfth time. This is supposed to guarantee good luck throughout the year.\n\nAs a part of our personal family celebration, the first thing we do after midnight is to write on a piece of paper the things we want to forget about the previous year. On another sheet, we write the things that we want to do better throughout the new year.\n\nMy wife and I have enjoyed a special tradition every New Year’s Eve ever since we married. Each of us drops our wedding ring in a glass of bubbly and we drink it together. Cheers to another year of a happy marriage!",

"The end-of-the-year-holidays will be especially important for the Denomination of Origin Rioja. Sparkling Rioja (Espumoso de Rioja), a new category authorized since 2019, has shown increased distribution both in Spain and abroad.\n\nRioja has opted for rigorous requirements to distance itself from the down-market approach taken by other sparklers in Spain. With Espumoso de Rioja, the second fermentation in bottle must be for at least 15 months for crianza, 24 months for reserva and 36 months for Gran Añada. The only categories allowed are Brut Nature, Extra Brut and Brut.\n\nIt is an approach meant to create a high-quality image, a good reason for us to toast with Espumoso de Rioja!\n\n← PREV: A taste of South Australia for New Year's Eve NEXT: A toast to the new year with the wines of the Douro, Porto and Vinho Verde →\nWine Stories"

"SWAT, Nov 2: Militants on Friday released 48 militiamen they had captured a day earlier, after parading them before a media corps in Charbagh.\n\nAmid tense calm in the Swat valley for most part of the day, security personnel vacated the important police stations of Matta and Khwazakhela where they had remained under siege for many days. The police station of Charbagh had been vacated a few days ago.\n\nBefore releasing the security personnel, the militants gave them Rs500 each for the transport cost.\n\n“We have to take all possible steps to suppress the activities of the militants,” said provincial police officer Mohammad Sharif Virk.\n\nHe told Dawn by phone that he had heard about the police stations having been and had been trying to ascertain the exact situation.\n\nMaulana Fazlullah, spearheading the movement against the government, made his first public appearance since the clashes broke out in the area. He led funeral prayers of his two fighters in Shakrdara.\n\nWitnesses said he vowed to continue what he called the struggle for enforcement of Sharia in the region and not to lay down arms at any cost. He declared that his people who had been killed were martyrs.\n\nIt is learnt that top leaders of the militants have put forward three main demands to a local jirga comprising former MPAs Hussain Ahmad Kanju and Mohammad Amin and other elders.\n\nThe demands are: enforcement of Sharia in the Malakand region, withdrawal of troops from Swat, and withdrawal of cases against Maulana Fazlullah and his supporters. The jirga members said they would discuss the demands with the government.\n\nThe militants also claimed to have released nine paramilitary soldiers on Thursday night after their female family members had approached them. The soldiers, they said, had surrendered in Khwazakheal after they had been surrounded on a hill earlier in the day.\n\nTalking to visiting journalists in Charbagh on the Mingora-Kalam road, about 7km from Mingora, militants’ spokesman Sirajuddin disputed the government’s claim that the security forces had killed over 60 militants and said they had picked bodies of their five men on Friday.\n\nHe said two foreigners captured on Thursday would be produced before the media after their identity had been confirmed.\n\nSome of the released militiamen said they had been treated well by the militants and they would not return to their force.\n\n“We had no option but to surrender because we were running short of food and there was no reinforcement in sight,” said Rizwan, a militiaman hailing from Tank.\n\nAnother militiaman said some of their colleagues had escaped before they were captured by the militants.\n\nWhen the journalists went to a compound where the militiamen were produced, the militants were jubilant over what they described as their victory and distributed sweets.\n\nThey were openly patrolling Matta, Charbagh and Khwazakhela areas and checking vehicles and people passing by.\n\nSecurity personnel quietly left the Khwazakhela police station, about 27km from Mingora, on Thursday night after waiting for days for reinforcement. Personnel in Matta vacated the police station on Friday. Witnesses said the security men left the station one by one in plain clothes, leaving behind their weapons, an armoured personnel carrier and other vehicles.\n\n“We have taken away seven vehicles loaded with arms and ammunition left by the militiamen when they were captured,” said Liaqat Khan, who led the militants at Khwazakhela. He said the weapons included machine-guns and G-3 guns.\n\nAgencies add: A delegation of clerics and local politicians met Maulana Fazlullah on Friday to try to end the standoff.\n\n“Fazlullah has said he is ready to hold talks with the government,” Mohammad Amin, a local tribal politician, told Reuters.\n\nHe said Fazlullah had set three conditions for the talks – withdrawal of security forces from Swat, enforcement of Sharia and withdrawal of cases against his followers."

"Security executives have a lot on their plate. They’re grappling with a new breed of cyber-attacks, financially-motivated cyber assailants, and a bevy of new, connected devices (both corporate and employee) that bring unintended security risks to their organization.\n\nBut it’s not all doom and gloom. C-level executives are relying on new technologies and best practices to fight fire with fire. They’re turning to former enemies for help, getting more bang for the buck, and relying on automation to safeguard their organization’s most critical information assets.",
null,
"To garner the best practices of security leaders, Radware conducted a survey of more than 200 C-level security executives from the U.S. and United Kingdom. The Security and the C-Suite: Threats and Opportunities Report unearthed a series of top recommendations that organizations should heed carefully.\n\nIn open-ended responses, one executive mentioned future plans to increase screening on the traffic entering and leaving the organization’s network. Such screening represents a significant gap for many organizations— and it’s becoming increasingly important to address it. Radware has witnessed an increase in SSL/encryption, making inbound attacks more challenging to detect. Meanwhile, outbound traffic, especially when it’s encrypted, is often not inspected.\n\nPractice #2: When it comes to security, know what you’re spending and why.\n\nThe Executive Report revealed an interesting paradox. A majority of respondents (82%) indicated that cybersecurity is a CEO- or board-level issue. Yet in both the U.S. and the U.K., more than half of executives did not know how much money or time their company has spent on security—from fighting cyber-attacks to implementing safeguards against hackers. Cyber security is simply too important, and poses too much risk, for that lack of executive awareness.\n\nRecommendation: An organization’s board and C-suite should assign ownership to ensure transparency on current threats, protection strategy and where/how resources are being used.\n\nWith ransom attacks on the rise, the report uncovered another paradox. Eighty-four percent said if they were approached by cyber thieves, they wouldn’t pay the ransom. Yet among those who were actually attacked, 54% said they did pay. Giving in to cyber thieves can be risky, as paying ransom may not stop the attack and, in fact, might increase the odds of additional incidents.\n\nRecommendation: Flip the economic equation—investing resources into network, endpoint and application security rather than “donating” money to criminals.\n\nThe results indicate an increased willingness to use hackers, and with good reason. Hackers bring unique experience and insight as companies work to keep pace with changes to the threat landscape and with the latest tactics, techniques and procedures.\n\nAs the threat landscape becomes increasingly automated, protections need to be too. Forty percent of respondents indicated that have had automation in place for two or more years. That finding contradicts input from the Security Industry Survey, in which respondents said their organization’s security is 80% manual. What this suggests is that executives may underestimate the extent to which certain security protections are still manual. That may include manual signature development for new attacks, as well as policy generation and vulnerability scanning/patching on applications.\n\nRecommendation: True automation comes from enabling technology to initiate protections—not feeding data into a Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) system so that a human can make a decision. Explore multi-vector coverage through coordination of security components.\n\nOne Radware customer exemplifies information security innovation. It delivers reliable performance for the company’s technology backbone, with a DDoS protection strategy that incorporates proactive instead of reactive technology and uses behavioral analysis to minimize impact on legitimate users.\n\nThis online retailer’s security team also uses a forward-thinking approach for evaluating return on security investments. In most companies, ROI calculations have focused on how much revenue would be lost per hour of downtime, how long it would take to reestablish a site after an attack and the likelihood of an attack taking the site down. More sophisticated analysis might also include cost to the brand—particularly if a company relies on its online presence for revenue.\n\nThis Radware customer took a more innovative approach. The security team began to consider how their ability to block bad traffic at the perimeter would positively affect the entire downstream environment. By building strong controls at every level of the infrastructure, the security team provided tools for the company’s infrastructure and operations teams to process only legitimate traffic.\n\nThis resulted in a new, often overlooked, formula to measure the financial impacts of DDoS attacks. For DDoS attacks that will not affect the availability of online services, are those malicious attacks worth processing through the entire infrastructure? Aside from downtime, what are the downsides of having this traffic at any time in the infrastructure? Because of the velocity, volume and frequency of DDoS attacks, many data centers are processing massive quantities of malicious data. Processing that “illegitimate” traffic alongside online customers’ legitimate traffic has significant operational and financial impact.\n\nOnce the security team started to calculate the cost of bad traffic that was now blocked at the perimeter and removed from downstream processing, they could quantify the return—and easily justify—the company’s investments in security."

"The Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) will redevelop its historic Monte Carlo Casino in 2020 in an effort to boost its appeal to a wider audience. The announcement was made at the Ordinary General Meeting last week, against a backdrop of further financial improvements for Monaco’s largest employer.\n\n“This is a redeployment of games across the rooms,” said Pascal Camia, SBM’s Director of Gaming, at the end of the shareholders’ meeting held on Friday 20th September in the Conference Centre of One Monte Carlo.\n\nIn late 2016, the SBM entrusted Mr Camia with the high-end repositioning of this historic sector, which accounts for 41% of the group’s turnover.\n\n“We will create a terrace for fun players and make (the machines) more accessible,” he said, referring to customers who are not common players and are perhaps deterred by the 19th century decor of the imposing Europe hall, with its elaborate woodwork and gilding.\n\nThese works, preceded by a complete refurbishment of the lighting, will go hand in hand with the planned closure of one of the Principality’s three casinos, the Sun in the Fairmont hotel, in 2022.\n\nInvesting in more targeted slot machines and the continuation of specialist dinners and events at the Casino are also planned.\n\nSince 1st July 2019, growth in the hotel and rental activities has continued, with the complete reopening of the Hôtel de Paris and an increase in rental income from the new One Monte-Carlo real estate complex."

"“They played really well,” he said. “They finished second in their pool with a 3-1 record.”\n\nThe second draw matched them up against Sexsmith whom they beat handily 8-5.\n\n“The second game against Sexsmith they were down 4-1 after the break and then came back to win 8-5,” Wiselka recounted. “They scored two in the fifth and then basically stole every end after that.”\n\nThe third draw was a by so the team got some rest before heading back to the rink the next morning for their 9 a.m. matchup against Lethbridge Collegiate Institute (LCI) in the fourth draw where they lost 7-5.\n\nA 5-4 win over Cremona put the team into the semifinals the next day.\n\n“Their final game was against Cremona and both teams were tied 2-1 so the winner of that game was in the playoffs,” Wiselka said. “They were two down coming home and they got the deuce to tie it and then won it in the extra end.”\n\nSt. Paul Regional wound up beating EPC 8-2 to play for the gold medal where they lost to Henry Wise Wood High School. EPC lost to LCI again in the bronze medal game to finish fourth.\n\nThe EPC team was the youngest team at the tournament with all the other teams having at least one Grade 12 student. Only Christensen is in Grade 11 with the rest of the foursome in Grade 10.\n\n“All the teams that were in the finals were all Grade 12s or had Grade 12 students on it,” Wiselka explained. “So, for them to be fourth in the province at this age is quite an accomplishment.”\n\nThe younger Wiselka said the team wasn’t expecting to make it to the final round but was happy to do so.\n\n“All weekend we had one bad game where we didn't all show up but we were all making our shots all week,” Josh said.\n\nLooking forward to next season Josh hopes they can win provincials.\n\n“We'll be curling as a men's team next year,\" he added."

"How To Fit Into Baseball Hat Of Any Size?\n\nHow to Break in a Fitted Baseball Hat?\n\nBe it a kid’s baseball hat or an adult’s, you can fit your unique head in it with the following simple steps:\n\nCan Baseball Hats be Customised if they are too small to fit the head?\n\nNow that we’ve covered what to do when a baseball hat is too big, let’s understand the techniques of customising a baseball hat when it is too small.\n\nHere’s what you can do:\n\nWhen the cap is too small, you can carefully make two cuts in the sweatband near the back of the hat. As a result, you’ll feel that the hat has become quite loose. However, be careful while making the cuts, otherwise, you’ll cut the hat itself.\n\nIf the above-mentioned technique doesn’t work, you can make a custom baseball hat by stretching it until you hear a ‘pop’.\n\nHere’s how you can do that:\n\nUnder normal circumstances, a hat cannot be too small for the head, if you want the above-mentioned techniques to work. If it’s an entire size too small, then these tips won’t work. You’ll have to stretch it but don’t think that’s going to work either.\n\nHow to transform a flat-billed hat into a curved bill?\n\nWhen it comes to a baseball hat, the size and its fit are not the only important things. The way the bill is styled is extremely important as well. Contrary to common perception, flat-billed hats look goofy because it makes the crown of your head look bigger and sort of disrupts the entire sporty look.\n\nIn fact, styling a flat-billed baseball cap makes you look younger. Now, you might think that if it helps in looking one younger, why shouldn’t one go for it, right? Well, you’re not wrong, but it makes you look too young. For instance, if you’re in your early adulthood, wearing a flat-billed baseball cap can make you look like a boy who just entered puberty. Assuming that you won’t like it, changing the flat bill to a curve bill is important.\n\nHoping that you’re convinced by now as to why one should change the flat bills to curved, below are some of the effective steps to change the way you’ve been wearing your black baseball hat:\n\nWrap the bill of a baseball cap around a softball or even a soup can, followed by securing it in place with a rubber band. Allow it to remain this way for the night.. Eventually, you’ll see a slight curve in the bill.\n\nShaping the curve of the bill is the simplest way to change its shape. The process is equivalent to shaping clay. However, doing it and getting the desirable curve with your hands will take a few days.\n\nNo matter how simple and easy this method sounds, there are a few risks that you need to be aware of before you begin. The most frequent hazard that happens when you change the shape of the bill with your hands is that instead of giving a gentle curve, you create a sharp bend.\n\nCurving the bill and then folding it back into the hat will help you get the bend. However, make sure that you leave it overnight like that to get the desired shape.\n\nBe that as it may, many have observed that the bill doesn’t stay curved for a long period and even if you let it stay overnight, you don’t get much of the bend. Therefore, you need to try other options first and if nothing else works, this might be your last resort.\n\nThese are some of the effective ways to modify the bill of your baseball hat. No matter whichever method you try, make sure that you rock in it!"

"Might it be that the way for us to thrive and flourish in these disruptive and complex times, is to go back to the wisdom of our ancient ways of communicating!\n\n“Mo everything you talk about is just common sense!” said the Chief Information Officer of a financial institution. It was about three hours into a two day retreat with the executive team. They were in the middle of a major merger and feeling the stress of the disruption. Immediately the Human Resources Vice President commented: “If only people used common sense in this merger, we wouldn’t have to face so many crisis every day – it is driving me crazy.”\n\nAs I listened to the group natter back and forward about the lack of common sense they were observing across the organization, I had an insight that I shared with the group.\n\n“What if the term ‘common sense’ came from the days when we lived in villages and when we had a community problem – we moved the sheep off the common and invited ALL villagers to come together and talk until we had made ‘sense’ of the situation and co-created a vision and actions to resolve the issue.”",

"Gathering on the common with all who have an interest.\n\nWhen we left the common – we had a shared view and understanding of our collective response. We had created for our community – ‘common sense’ for the specific situation we faced.”\n\nPeople are relational beings and as such our conversations help us to make meaning of a situation – we socially construct our reality by the words we use and the metaphors we create.\n\nIn our interconnected, complex lives we are constantly being brought together to quickly resolve issues by creating innovative solutions. Often people don’t take the time to create ‘common sense’, a common understanding, we forget that we are coming from different villages. In these villages we have different definitions for words – we speak a different language. We need to slow down, be mindful, get to know each other’s perspectives. Be open to exploring and apprecitaing how we each view the world. Share the meaning of our words and phrases – co-create new meaning to our words and ideas before we attempt to create solutions.\n\nIn the spring of 2015, I was invited to participate at an Aboriginal circle facilitation training led by an elder. It was a great honour to be invited to be part of this learning event. During the session I felt that I was with my ‘tribe’ – the principles and assumptions of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) were present in all that we were learning. I left the session with an insight that while the teachings had been about First Nations traditions, much of it felt natural. I found myself reflecting upon the question: “Could it be that we are all part of a some indigenous group?” My Irish/Scottish background connects me to the Celts (my background is Celtic) and that perhaps in this disruptive time I might learn to tap into my indigenous wisdom.\n\nA recent example of the power of tapping into our indigenous wisdom is the story of how the leaders of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference reached consensus for their final agreement. About two days before the end of the conference they had over 900 contentious issues to resolve. A breakthrough in their communications came about when the Conference President and French Foreign Minister Lauren Fabius introduced the South African process called ‘indaba’. The term means meeting or gathering of leaders which is made open to the larger group even if the decision making power is in the hands of the leaders. Minister Fabius called the session “Indaba of Solutions”.\n\nIn the process participants were asked to avoid giving general statements, and to share stories that got to the heart of their main concerns. Complex issues were addressed, people felt respected and heard and consensus was reached.\n\nThe indaba method is solution driven: (1) everyone must speak personally; (2) they state their ‘red’ lines; (3) provides a common grounds solution. An explanation of the indaba method.\n\nShe is a learning partner, facilitator and speaker. Maureen is a founding partner of Innovation Works - www.innovationworks.ca.

"England vs Pakistan 2016 will mark the return of Mohammad Aamer in England after five years.\n\nEngland are set to host Pakistan for 4 Tests, 5 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and one-off Twenty20 International (T20I), starting July 14. The Tests will be played at London s Lord s, Manchester, Birmingham and London s Kennington Oval. Meanwhile, the ODIs will be played at Dublin s The Village Malahide, Southampton s The Rose Bowl, Lord s, Headingly and Cardiff s Sophia Gardens. The one-off T20I will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester. The series will mark the return of Mohammad Aamer in England. He was banned for five years after he was found guilty of spot fixing during the Lord s Test in 2010. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: England vs Pakistan, 1st Test at Lord s\n\nA lot of current and former cricketers have commented on Aamer s return and most of them have spoken against Pakistan Cricket Board s decision to give Aamer a second chance. Former English cricketer, Graeme Swann was among the ones who criticised him. Mohammad Aamer will walk out on the green and glorious turf at Lord s on Thursday and it will make me feel sick. This is a man who crushed the morality of the game. And yet he is being allowed back to play at the Home of Cricket.\n\nAamer should have been banned for life for his part in the corruption scandal of 2010. He is an incredibly talented bowler he took 6-84 in that infamous Lord s Test six years ago but that does not excuse what he did. No matter how good you are, if you sell your soul for 30 pieces of silver, you have to pay the consequences. And I don t think he has, he said.\n\nVirat Kohli calls for \"one religion\"",

"Just weeks before much of the world was forced into mandatory lockdown due to fears about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), the journal Eurosurveillance published a bogus study announcing the arrival of the infamous PCR test, which was declared to be the world's first diagnostic tool for identifying the \"coof.\" Without question, the PCR test was immediately endorsed by World Health Organization (WHO) head Tedros Adhanom – the first non-medical leader of the United Nations arm, by the way – who pushed it as a reactive solution to the plandemic problem. Since that time, however, we have learned that PCR testing is fake science and completely fraudulent. Study authors Dr. Christian Drosten from the European Union's Center for Disease Prevention and Control, along with several colleagues from the Berlin Virology Institute at Charité Hospital and a small Berlin biotechnology company known as TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH, say they were somehow able to come up with an effective diagnostic test for COVID-19 just a few days after the novel virus was first identified in Wuhan, China. And much of the world believed them, including political leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, both of whom plunged their nations into a horror show of stay-at-home orders, mask mandates, and nonstop fearmongering. President Donald Trump also declared a national emergency, though he has never pushed testing or mask-wearing. Even so, many state and local politicians embraced the narrative that PCR testing was necessary to identify \"cases\" of COVID-19, using this as justification to also impose mandatory lockdowns, mask restrictions, business closures, and other severe economic disruptors that have devastated our nation's viability. Roughly 10 months after this PCR testing study was published, 23 highly respected international virologists, microbiologists, and other scientists came out against it, calling on Eurosurveillance to immediately retract it. These experts also published their own peer-reviewed analysis of the study that completely deconstructs its false claims. The review accused Drosten and his cohorts of \"fatal\" scientific incompetence, and their PCR test as fundamentally flawed. It also points out the fact that the original study was never peer-reviewed before being published in Eurosurveillance, peer review being the \"gold standard\" of credible science. The Corman-Drosten paper, as it is now being called, was submitted to the journal on Jan. 21, accepted for publication on Jan. 22, and published online on Jan. 23. Even before the paper was published, the WHO at its Jan. 17 gathering in Geneva officially recommended PCR testing as a surefire way to identify COVID-19. This would suggest that the paper itself was a mere formality, and that world leaders already knew what was coming down the pipeline as part of their plandemic agenda for the world. \"The published RT-qPCR protocol for detection and diagnostics of 2019-nCoV and the manuscript suffer from numerous technical and scientific errors, including insufficient primer design, a problematic and insufficient RT-qPCR protocol, and the absence of an accurate test validation,\" the team of expert critics warns about the PCR testing study. \"Neither the presented test nor the manuscript itself fulfils the requirements for an acceptable scientific publication. Further, serious conflicts of interest of the authors are not mentioned.\"\n\nOn Jan. 21 when the Corman-Drosten study was submitted to Eurosurveillance for publication, there had only been six deaths attributed to COVID-19 worldwide, all of them in Wuhan. And yet somehow, the paper's authors were already claiming that public health laboratories were facing \"a challenge.\" Keep in mind that at the time, there was no substantial evidence to suggest that the outbreak was more widespread than Wuhan. The political establishment went along with the ruse, writing the script in real time as it was happening because they appear to have known in advance that the plandemic would eventually go global. Many of them attended or at least knew about Bill Gates' \"Event 201\" pandemic exercise, which was held about a year before the first known cases of COVID-19 were reported by the mainstream media. We now know that certain \"public health\" officials actually benefitted financially from the phony PCR testing scheme, collecting a paycheck for each test sold. Drosten, who is considered to be Germany's version of Anthony Fauci, is one such political head who makes money every time a PCR test is sold, even when the results turn out to be a false positive – which is almost every single time. All in all, the Borger report challenging the bogus Corman-Drosten study identifies \"ten fatal problems\" with it, one of the most glaring being the fact that the intentionally erroneous primer and probe sequences used in PCR tests allow them to pull up \"several different alternative primer sequences which do not relate to SARS-CoV-2.\" This is \"not suitable as a Standard Operational Protocol,\" Borger and his team allege, adding that these \"unspecified positions should have been designed unequivocally.\" \"RT-PCR is not recommended for primary diagnostics of infection,\" they conclude. \"This is why the RT-PCR Test used in clinical routine for detection of COVID-19 is not indicated for COVID-19 diagnosis on a regulatory basis,\" they add. Even more damning is the fact that the PCR test has no proper standard for identifying a positive or negative result. It does not even define the parameters for what would constitute a positive or negative result, which means the PCR test is basically a play-pretend diagnostic tool producing fake results in order to advance a nefarious, \"Global Reset\" agenda.

"Winners of the International Uranium Film Festival in Times of Covid-19 in Berlin, October 15 to 18, 2020\n\nVALLEY OF THE GODS (Dolina Bogów) by director Lech Majewski from Poland and the documentary BALENTES - THE BRAVE ONES (I CORAGGIOSI) by Australian-Italian director Lisa Camillo are the winners of the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) in Berlin 2020.\nHonorable Mentions received the German documentary About the Meaning of Everything (VOM SINN DES GANZEN - DAS NETZWERK DES PHYSIKERS HANS-PETER DÜRR) directed by Claus Biegert, documentary THE SOVIET GARDEN (Grădina Sovietică) directed by Dragoș Turea from Moldova and the animation documentary DAY OF THE WESTERN SUNRISE directed by Keith Reimink.\nDue to the very positive reactions from the audience, the Uranium Film Festival subsequently awarded two more \"Honorable Mentions\" to the films THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS by Álvaro Orús and A RADIANT COUNTRY / EIN STRAHLENDES LAND by Marvin Oppong.\n„Safety first“ was the rule during the International Uranium Film Festival Berlin in the CineStar-Cinema of the prestigious Kulturbrauerei that ended Sunday 18th with the award ceremony. Social distancing and Anti-Covid-Masks were mandatory during this in the world unique film festival about the Atomic Age. During four intensive days 14 „atomic“ movies and documentaries from Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Moldavia, Poland and USA were screened. “It was really good. Despite the peculiar circumstances because of Covid-19 safety, the IUFF Berlin 2020 was definitely one of our most successful festivals,” says Berlin-based Uranium Film Festival producer Jutta Wunderlich.\nJutta Wunderlich: \"The audience liked most: BALENTES - THE BRAVE ONES, THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS and A RADIANT COUNTRY / EIN STRAHLENDES LAND which was followed by long and lively discussions. The screenings of BALENTES - THE BRAVE ONES and THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS were full and oversold.\"",

"The Uranium Film Festival jury gave the Best Feature Movie Award to the drama movie VALLEY OF THE GODS (Dolina Bogów), written and directed by Lech Majewski, starring Josh Hartnett, John Malkovich, Bérénice Marlohe, John Rhys-Davies, Jaime Ray Newman and Laura Ecas.\nJury Statement\n„The International Uranium Film Festival had always deep respect for indigenous peoples and especially for the Navajo Nation“, said German actor and producer Timo Jacobs in the name of the festival’s jury. „For that the Uranium Film Festival has already taken place twice in Window Rock, the capital of the Navajo.“\nTimo Jacobs: „Since the 1940s, the Navajo, who call themselves Diné, have suffered from uranium mining and its radioactive legacy. More than 500 abandoned uranium mines and unsecured tailings contaminate soil, air and water of the Navajo Nations with radioactive and toxic elements. Any film that deals with this tragedy, which is largely ignored by the public, deserves the attention of the Uranium Film Festival. This is especially true for the feature movie Valley of the Gods. Lech Majewski shot his film with the greatest respect for the Navajo Nation and tried to convey the topic from their point of view. Even more: Director Lech Majewski managed to win over well-known film stars such as John Malkovich and Josh Hartnett for his film, which makes it all the more valuable. Valley of the Gods can therefore bring the question of uranium mining and its disastrous consequences for the Navajo to Hollywood. This brings the topic closer to a world that has so far been almost impossible to reach through documentary films. For this reason alone, Lech Majewski deserves an award from the Uranium Film Festival.“\n„Personally, I allow myself the opportunity to grab my head and thank you very much for this film. To be able to present you this award is worth more to me than to present Stephen Spielberg with an Oscar. Your magical realism is a gift for every movie lover. Keep motivated and communicate with us through art.“",

"The Uranium Film Festival jury gave the Best Feature Documentary Award to the Australian-Italian documentary BALENTES - THE BRAVE ONES (I CORAGGIOSI), directed by Lisa Camillo.\nJury Statement\n„The film deals with a central, highly topical question of the international peace and environmental movement: environmental destruction through war and other military activities. This is done using the example of Sardinia, where this can be seen particularly clearly,“ justified Prof. Manfred Mohr for the Uranium Film Festival.\nManfred Mohr: „The documentation impressively contrasts the wonderful landscape of the island with the terrible devastation on the military training areas and in their surroundings. One of the problems behind this, but not the only one, is the use of uranium or DU weapons. For years ICBUW is campaigning for a global ban of these weapons.\"\n„The film impresses with its high level of professionalism, coupled with a great personal and political commitment in favour of the people affected and the tortured nature. BALENTES - THE BRAVE ONES does not stop at the description of the problem and the condition, but broadly and convincingly illustrates the revolt of the Sardinian population against it. A masterpiece worthy of an Uranium Film Festival Award in every aspect.“",

"Sharon Bolton is an author whose books I always enjoy, even though I don’t read a lot of contemporary crime fiction these days. I had expected her next book to be the promised sequel to 2018’s The Craftsman, but I was quite happy to find that The Split was a standalone thriller as her earlier standalones such as Sacrifice, Awakening and Little Black Lies have been some of my favourites.\n\nThe Split takes us to South Georgia, a remote and inhospitable island in the southern Atlantic Ocean where twenty-eight-year-old Felicity Lloyd is working as a glaciologist for the British Antarctic Survey. It’s fascinating work and Felicity knows she has been given a wonderful opportunity, but she also has another reason for accepting the job – a chance to put as much distance as possible between herself and Freddie, a man from her past of whom she is still afraid. However, it seems that even here, on the other side of the world, she has been unable to escape. Freddie is coming for her, on the last tourist boat of the summer, and has sent her a letter that fills her with fear:\n\nMy dearest Felicity,\nFinally, I’ve found you. South Georgia? Wow! Know, my darling, that there is nowhere you can go that I won’t follow –\n\nWho exactly is Freddie and what does he want with Felicity? We find out later in the book, but first we have to go back nine months in time to Cambridge where a series of murders has been committed. Felicity’s connection, if any, with these murders is unclear; all we do know is that she is still haunted by some previous traumatic experiences and has been attending sessions with a therapist. Eventually everything will be revealed, but before we get to that point there are plenty of the twists and turns that are to be expected from a Sharon Bolton novel.\n\nWhen I first started to read this book it was the South Georgia setting that initially appealed to me, but although we are given some beautiful descriptions of the landscape and the cold, harsh environment, I found I wasn’t being drawn into the story as much as I would have liked. The details of whaling operations and Felicity’s research into glaciers didn’t really interest me – and being thrown straight into the middle of the story with no idea of who anybody was or what was happening didn’t help, even though I understood the reasons for that structure. It wasn’t until the action switched to Cambridge and the backgrounds of Felicity and the other characters began to be explored that I was able to settle into the novel and enjoy it.\n\nI can’t really tell you much about the Cambridge section of the book as it would be too difficult to avoid spoilers, but it quickly becomes clear that we can’t rely on everything Felicity tells us because she has been left so badly scarred by her past experiences. Joe, her therapist, who is one of the other main characters whose perspective we see, has suffered his own recent traumas and it’s obvious that there is also more going on in his life than we are aware of at first. The truth about these two characters – and others, including Bamber, a wild and angry young woman who is very protective of Felicity, and Sean, a mysterious figure who stalks the streets of Cambridge at night – unfolds slowly, with everything coming together when we return to South Georgia in the dramatic final third of the novel. However, I found most of the twists quite easy to guess, which is unusual for a Sharon Bolton book and a bit disappointing.\n\nThis hasn’t become one of my favourites, then, but I did enjoy it after a slow start. I must find time to read Blood Harvest, the only one of her previous books I still haven’t read!\n\nThanks to Trapeze for providing a copy of this book for review via NetGalley.\n\n14 thoughts on “The Split by Sharon Bolton”"

"Industry 4.0 refers to a new phase in the Industrial Revolution that focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data. Industry 4.0, also sometimes referred to as IIoT(industrial internet of thing) or smart manufacturing, marries physical production and operations with smart digital technology, machine learning, and big data to create a more holistic and better connected ecosystem for companies that focus on manufacturing and supply chain management. Industry 4.0 isn’t just about investing in new technology and tools to improve manufacturing efficiency—it’s about revolutionizing the way your entire business operates and grows.",

"In the early part of the 20th century, the world entered a second industrial revolution with the introduction of steel and use of electricity in factories. The introduction of electricity enabled manufacturers to increase efficiency and helped make factory machinery more mobile. It was during this phase that mass production concepts like the assembly line were introduced as a way to boost productivity.\n\nThe Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0\n\nIn the past few decades, a fourth industrial revolution has emerged, known as Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 takes the emphasis on digital technology from recent decades to a whole new level with the help of interconnectivity through the Internet of Things (IoT), access to real-time data, and the introduction of cyber-physical systems. Industry 4.0 offers a more comprehensive, interlinked, and holistic approach to manufacturing. It connects physical with digital, and allows for better collaboration and access across departments, partners, vendors, product, and people. Industry 4.0 empowers business owners to better control and understand every aspect of their operation, and allows them to leverage instant data to boost productivity, improve processes, and drive growth.\n\nAdvanced digital technology is already used in manufacturing, but with Industry 4.0, it will transform production. It will lead to greater efficiencies and change traditional production relationships among suppliers, producers, and customers—as well as between human and machine."

"A few years ago, I was introduced to a highly motivating, fast-paced academic version of the games Spoons. After playing a few rounds and having a lot of fun, I knew this was something I wanted to incorporate as much as possible into my classroom.\n\nThe academic version of Spoons is a great way to motivate your students to review almost any concept! (If you are not familiar with the regular card game, click here to read about it)\n\nMy own students request to continue playing it a recess, and they literally cheer when I put Spoons games in their math centers for the week.

"Differences Between the Traditional Version of Spoons and My Version\n\nIf you are familiar with the traditional Spoons game, there are some differences that I made to keep the game educational and realistic as far as prepping and playing.\n\nThe main difference between this game of spoons in the “fun” game of spoons is that the last person to grab the spoon is not eliminated. They have to tell the person with the match to “Prove it.”\n\nAnother difference is there are only 16 cards, enough for each player to have four cards. There is no draw or discard pile. The students keep passing the same cards for the round.\n\nThe final main difference is that the matches are not perfect matches in the sense that each card shows exactly the same word, number, or phrase. Here is example of a four card “match” from my Main Idea Spoons game.",
null,
"As you can see they are not matches in the sense that every card says the same word or phrase. Instead they are matched because the three supporting details support the main idea. This takes the rigor up a notch and really makes the students think when they are deciding which cards to keep or switch. It also ups the rigor when it comes time for them to prove their matches.\n\nMaking Your Own Spoons Games\n\nThese are pretty simple to make your own once you choose a skill or concept that can be reviewed with four matches. To be honest, choosing a skill that works for this type of game is the difficult part. Not all skills will have four “easy to come up with” matches and sometimes you have to be creative.\n\nOnce you have chosen your skill, you will need 16 index cards or pieces of card stock. Write your four sets of four matches on the cards. Create a quick answer key and you are done. Here is an example of what a hand-created match for a Parts of Speech Spoons game could look like.",
null,
"For this game, the students could be matching basic parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs). The cards shown would be a complete match for noun: the card labeled noun, the card defining nouns, and two sentences with nouns underlined.\n\nDon’t want to make your own Spoons games? Keep reading until the end of this post because I have two free Spoons games for you to try with your students and links to where you can purchase some more, if you want!\n\nTeaching the Spoons Game to Your Students\n\nOne of the best parts of using this game in the classroom is that you teach the game one time, and then your students can play it over and over with new educational concepts. All they need to know is that they are looking for or matching in the new game and they are good to go. For an extra challenge for some groups, sometimes I don’t always tell them what they are looking for as far as matches. This makes the game similar to an open sort and really makes the students think about how the cards relate.\n\nTo initially teach and introduce the game, I do like to use a very simple version that only has the students matching numbers. This allows the students to get comfortable with how the game works, passing the cards, proving their matches, assigning letters, etc. This also allows me to explicitly model my expectations for playing. We play the simple version for a couple of quick rounds and then I introduce the first academic spoons to finish out the rounds.\n\n**Click here to grab the Simple Game for Introducing Spoons for FREE!**\n\nWant to try out the academic version of Spoons with your students?

"Presentation on theme: \"Currents are produced by forces acting upon the water. Surface ocean currents are formed by winds that cause the water to move in the direction that the.\"— Presentation transcript:\n\n3 Ocean currents carry warm water from the equators along the surface of the ocean to the poles, where it cools and sinks. Uneven heating of the earth causes the water at the equator to be warmer than the poles. The coolers water from the poles sinks, and moves down to the equator.\n\n5 The water then returns along the bottom of the ocean to the equator, where it is heated again. This process creates a great \"conveyor belt\" that runs through the Earth's oceans, carrying water from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific and back over the course of 1,000 years.\n\n6 Where water rises from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, it brings nutrients from the ocean floor back up to where they can be reused. This is called upwelling and provides nutrients for much of the life in the ocean.\n\n8 The movement of ocean currents can have a cooling effect or a warming effect on the regions near those currents. For example, the California current helps the west coast of the United States stay cooler during the summer. The Gulf Stream, however, carries warm water to the North Atlantic, resulting in warmer winters in the British Isles.\n\n10 Oceans can have a major effect on climate in another way also. Water absorbs solar energy without changing temperature much. This means that ocean temperature remains within a small range throughout the year, even when the amount of solar energy received is changing. This explains why the climate in coastal areas changes less with the seasons than areas that are far away from the coast.\n\n11 The climate of a particular area is a description of long-term weather patterns, including average temperature and precipitation amounts.\n\n12 Factors Influencing Climate The climate of an area is defined based on the weather patterns of the area. For example, saying that today was warm and sunny is describing the weather. Saying that conditions in summer are normally warm and sunny is describing the climate. The climate of a region is influenced by many factors including: The amount of energy received from the Sun—Regions that receive more direct sunlight tend to be warmer. Patterns in the movement of air masses (fronts)—Air masses carry moisture and can change the weather conditions. Elevation—Locations at higher elevations tend to be cooler because the atmosphere at higher elevations is less dense and it holds less heat. Proximity to mountains—Mountains can block rain from reaching some areas. Proximity to water and the water cycle—Areas near water tend to receive more precipitation and have more moderate temperatures year round.\n\nDownload ppt \"Currents are produced by forces acting upon the water.

"The last time we heard from Margaret in Munich, she had updated her InterNations profile in order to better connect with other members. But before she starts looking for new contacts, she decides to explores the Local Community first. Two features in particular attract her attention — the Munich Expat Forum and the upcoming events, which are both linked from the startpage she sees immediately after logging in.",
null,
"When she clicks the “More Forum Posts” link on the Munich Community page, she finds the local forum overview for the categories “Town Talk”, “Expat Q&A”, “Jobs”, “Housing” and “Marketplace”. This brings back memories from her earlier days as an expat woman on the Internet in the late 1990s, before the advent of social networking, when she used to post mainly on virtual bulletin boards for strangers living in Tokyo or Berlin.",
null,
"Here, too, InterNations members are getting organized according to their different nationalities (perhaps Margaret might drop by at the Canadian Club once in a while since she spent an important part of her childhood in Toronto…); they are looking for support with typical expatriate issues such as certified translations of official documents (ah, the joys of paperwork, Margaret thinks), researching the job market in Bavaria, hunting flats or even furnished rooms for short-term rent and selling their used IKEA furniture for a bargain when they have to leave town in a hurry to go on their next assignment. So far, so familiar.\n\nMargaret does not leave a comment yet, but subscribes to a thread where an expat from Poland is looking for a language exchange partner — the e-mail notifications for every new reply will remind her that since she might come back to this woman’s offer later.\n\nBut it’s the Event Section with its announcement of an upcoming InterNations Summer Party in about three weeks that really catches her interest. A beach bash in the middle of a German city that’s almost 1000 kilometres from the nearest seacost? An international night out with free welcome drinks and dancing at one of the coolest venues in town? Now that’s definitely different from the other expat websites she remembers. Margaret is now intrigued … but more about that in the next installment of our series."

"However, that is more or less where the similarities between this cigar and the regular production version stop. The Gran Reserva is arguably Habanos S.A.’s flagship release, released only in odd years. Each cigar selected comes from one of Habanos S.A.’s largest brands, previously known as global brands, and uses tobacco from a specific crop, in this case, the 2015 crop year.",
null,
"That tobacco is selected specifically for this release and then aged for at least five years. Like other Gran Reserva releases, it is then packaged in high-gloss boxes of 15 cigars and limited to 5,000 boxes.\n\nThe cigars wear the typical Partagás Serie E band and then a secondary band that is shared by all other Gran Reserva cigars.",

"I know, it’s been MONTHS since I posted anything here. That’s because most of the acting stuff I’ve been doing is covered under non-disclosure agreements, so I can’t talk about it, and because school has been pretty hectic.\n\nI’ve been writing a lot of music, and I’m enjoying the music production club at school. I’ve been on several really good auditions, and gotten some good callbacks and gigs, but I can’t talk about those.\n\nChristmas was different this year. My sister had open heart surgery at the end of November, so I spend a lot of December helping my grandparents with my 4-year-old nephew. He’s got more energy than I do for sure!\n\nHere are some photos of the last few months. I’ll try to do better about updating the blog, but no promises.",

"Enes Kanter is the most interesting story of the NBA playoffs",
null,
"Whether they’d like to admit it or not, the reality for a lot of NBA fans and media is that the 2019 playoffs have not been as interesting without LeBron James involved.\n\nThe man widely recognized as the face of the league — if not still its best player at age 34 — is sitting out the postseason for the first time since 2005, thanks to his Los Angeles Lakers finishing the regular season with a losing record.\n\nLeBron’s absence and the lack of daily polarizing arguments he generates has created openings for other players and teams to capture the public’s attention. Those who are stepping up and into the spotlight include Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, and of course the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors led by Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.\n\nA teammate of Lillard’s who is making headlines off the court more than on the court is Blazers center Enes Kanter, a practicing Muslim of Turkish nationality who has helped Portland reach the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors.\n\nKanter made himself a pariah in Turkey a couple of years ago when he began publicly criticizing the Muslim-majority country’s government.\n\nTurkey has since revoked Kanter’s passport, some of his family members have disowned him, and Kanter has not traveled outside of the U.S. for fear of his safety and freedom. Turkish prosecutors have made it clear that Kanter would face criminal charges if he were extradited.\n\nThe strife with Turkey has resurfaced in many U.S. media outlets in these playoffs. First, when it was reported that Turkish television stations have refused to air Portland games because of Kanter.\n\nThen more recently, when it came to light that if the Blazers advance to the NBA Finals and have to play the Raptors, Kanter might have some trouble crossing the Canadian border to play in Toronto due to his passport issues.\n\n“All these NBA fans, they want to watch the Western Conference Finals, but they can’t all because of me. It’s funny and crazy,” Kanter told the Washington Post. “(The Turkish government) is afraid of an NBA player.\n\n“I’m not a politician. It’s not my job, but everyone is so scared of (President) Erdogan that I have to step up and speak out for freedom and human rights. It shows it’s a dictatorship in Turkey.”\n\nMeanwhile, in the midst of the uncertainty about his playing status moving forward, Kanter is observing the fast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.\n\nMuslim athletes, including NBA players, have over the years taken different approaches to Ramadan if it falls during the season. Some observe the fast, some don’t. Each athlete’s decision is theirs to make and not ours to criticize; most people can’t truly comprehend what a high-level athlete would be putting their body through to abstain from food or water during daylight hours at a time when they are training or in competition.\n\nTwo of Kanter’s teammates with the Blazers, power forward Al-Farouq Aminu and center Jusuf Nurkic, are also Muslim. Neither has been public on whether or not they are observing the fast this month.\n\nFasting for Ramadan also means Kanter is not taking medication for an existing shoulder injury, so he’s playing through the pain.\n\nEven with the physical and mental strain of his current situation, Kanter is producing on the court.\n\nHe is averaging 12.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game during the playoffs, shooting 51.1 percent from the field as the Blazers’ starting center. He helped Portland get past the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round, who have massive 7-foot, 265-pound Steven Adams at center. In the second round, Kanter helped the Blazers defeat the Denver Nuggets, whose center is 7-foot, 250-pound All-Star Nikola Jokic.\n\nIf Portland can come back from the 0-2 series deficit they are currently in against the Warriors, the franchise will make its first NBA Finals since 1992, and Kanter will play in the NBA Finals for the first time in his career."

"As the son, grandson and nephew of a physician, I developed very different career interests. After earning my Bachelors Degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, my first professional year landed me in our nation’s capital doing communications work. From there came my return to Chicago television, followed by a news producing job in Lexington, Kentucky, another go-around in the Windy City, and an unforgettable production stint in New York City.\n\nFor several years my work centered around news content production for Los Angeles TV stations, including KTLA, KABC, and for the longest period, KNBC. This allowed me the flexibility to pursue a few other interests, including landscape architecture, home remodeling and motorcycling. My career then turned toward public relations, at which time I started my own business, RRS Communications. In 2015, having worked for various real estate clients in a marketing capacity, I obtained my California DRE license. Around the same time I also became a managing editor of website content.\n\nOn the personal front, I’m an avid road cyclist with numerous cycling races and events under my belt. Cycling is by far my greatest hobby and pastime. I continue to maintain my overall performance in the saddle, especially since my motorcycle is no longer.\n\nI always say life is like an ongoing TV series, driven by fresh and developing story lines that inevitably move us forward. Whether or not I’m the one steering the plot, it’s always exciting to find out what happens next."

"According to a recent study by FIFS and KPMG, India has more than 100 million fantasy cricketers. However, experts and analysts believe that the value will jump to about 400 million in the next decade. In addition, fantastic baseball seems to be very interesting, unpredictable and exciting, since users cannot predict the results of 162-game seasons. In addition, the games heat up as we approach the final of the season every October.\n\nAccording to studies by the Fantasy Sports Federation of India (FIFS), India has approximately 100 million fantasy sports players. According to a recent study by the Fantasy Sports Federation of India (FIFS) in collaboration with KPMG, there are currently around 100 million fantasy cricketers in India, but analysts believe that the market could grow to more than 400 million in the next decade. Conclusion Fantasy sports offers fans the opportunity to manage multiple real-world teams and players around the world. More than just establishing a lineup several times a week, these sports also have a much longer season than soccer.\n\nNBC Sports Predictor started the season with just over 18,000 participants, but the last race of the season had more than 111,000 participants. Most sports fans think of curling, the sport in which players use a broom to slide a rock over a layer of ice, once every four years during the Winter Olympics, if you think about it at all. Both sites offer the four main sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) along with soccer, college basketball and college football. However, Japan remains at the forefront in terms of embarrassing technology in the fantasy sports sector.\n\nFantasy Football is the most popular game, which is to be expected, since soccer is the biggest sport in the region and the most popular worldwide. The best known of these sports are not rare or strange to us, and if you are a sports fan, you should know some or all of them. American Football (USA). (USA), American football dominates the United States and is even considered the most popular sport in North America.\n\nThe fantasy sports industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, as smartphones have become omnipresent and new apps have made participating easier than ever. Soccer is the world's favorite sport, and the Premier League is the most famous soccer league on the planet, so it's no surprise that the league's official fantasy games have become so popular, as fans create their own leagues with friends, family and co-workers and also have their teams ranked against all other users in the world. Even though these sports are included in the “big four” sports, they are still one level below football. But there are plenty of other sports like this that attract a small number of fantasy players: UFC, cricket, golf, fishing, even surfing and darts.\n\nNext postWhat fantasy sports can you play?",

"Four-year-old Prahlad, who fell in a borewell in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh, eventually lost the battle for life on Sunday, despite a relentless rescue operation that lasted 90 hours.\n\nChief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan mourned his death and announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the bereaved family.\n\nPrahlad fell in borewell on Wednesday morning while playing near a farm in Setpura in Niwari district. He was trapped at a depth of about 60 feet.\n\nThough Prahlad was finally brought out around 3 am and rushed to Niwari Hospital but he was declared brought dead by doctors.\n\nThe Chief Minister expressed grief over Prahlad`s death: “Prahlad could not be saved even after a rescue operation of 90 hours. The team of SDRF, NDRF and other experts worked hard day and night but finally at 3 am, the son`s dead body was taken out. In this hour of grief, I and the whole state stand with Prahlad`s family and pray for the peace of the soul of the innocent son.”\n\nHe said that a new borewell will also be installed at their farmland.\n\nAfter Harikishan’s son Prahlad fell into the 200-feet borewell, the rescue teams dug up a 60-foot deep bore parallel to the borewell and then built a horizontal tunnel to access the boy, but he could not be saved."

"Everyone is barking. Cathy is bringing a new little Shiatsu in her arms. Gosh, look at Mitzi,(half German Shepherd) Hope,(half hound),Tas( Tasmanian Devil, ) and Chip(Schnauzer)…the sniffing begins. The above mentioned dogs are not boarders, they live in the main house with Cathy and Bob Nicksy.\n\nNow they are all playing tug-of -war. Poochi (half Poodle & Chiwawa), also called Princess, is content to just watch.\n\nPoochi serenely sits on a cushion. The early morning light filters through the of plants in the Nicksy living room\n\nBuddy (the new border) seems to be just watching too. “No, he’s waiting …waiting for what??” thinks Poochi.\n\nThe front door is open a fraction. Buddy is heading over to that door.\n\nThis little guy is heading down AMOST HOME’S driveway at the speed of a bullet.( Lone Ranger Tune ta dat ta da..blasts out.). Buddy hangs a left onto the gravel road, turning his head to check if his pursuer is gaining on him.\n\n“This little(blank blank).. is 10 pounds of pure fury!!” Cathy says to herself as she stops to catch her breath. Panting & bending over, she holds her knees. Then there is this thundering sound on the gravel behind her. Mitzi and Chip have taken on the chase, surpassing her without so much as a glance. The Calvary Charges past, purposefully; no match for men on a mission! “Here we come to save the day…”\n\nThey reach Buddy and herd him back onto the property, literally pushing him up against the barn. Cathy arrives shortly after, praising her rescue dogs.\n\nShe gratefully scoops up this wet bundle of exhaustion, and they all head home together.\n\nHe had a confused look on his face..like ” What just happened??”\n\nJust to note: that the photos were initially taken in the dog house, before Buddy arrived. The fun that we were having is called Clean-Up Fun with the most slobbering Newfoundlander dog interrupting the process of tidying-up. Nine year old Abby, a friend & helper obviously sees the humor in her job. The St. Bernard border is planted in the DOG HOUSE foyer.\n\nALMOST HOME BOARDING for Dogs is the most accommodating friendly milieux; dogs of every breed follow suit and respect their Alpha Male…Cathy Nicksy. (with an occasional exception..like little Buddy)."

"The Battle Is On!",
null,
"Yesterday we said that Jesus gave us a key difference between Himself and the devil: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10) Satan will use others to deceive you, but we must remember who our battle is really with: the devil. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph. 6:12)\n\nWe don’t struggle with people, but we are deceived into thinking that is where our battles are–in the flesh. When Paul was in Ephesus there was a riot (Acts 19:21-41). Demetrius and his associates instigated the riot against Paul. But it was actually the spiritual powers that opposed the gospel that were using Demetrius and the others to come against Paul. Tony Evans says in Victory in Spiritual Warfare,\n\n“When Adam and Eve were in the garden, Satan came to them in the form of a snake (Gen. 3). The reason Satan took on the form of a snake is because he and his demons operate best when there is a physical presence through which to work. Remember this principle: While spiritual warfare is being waged in heavenly places, our enemy is very skilled at locating available vehicles in the physical realm through which to influence, manipulate, and deceive. Satan even comes to you in a form that you would not suspect. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 11:14, “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” This adds another dimension to the problems we face and fight in the spiritual realm because our problems do not exist only in the invisible spiritual realm; they also exist in the often unsuspecting vehicle Satan uses to get to you in the physical realm, which includes you—your mind, will, emotions, and body.\n\nNo matter what you or I come up with, Satan is going to try to come up with something better. The only way to live in the victory that has been secured for us in spiritual warfare is to study Satan’s game film, learn his strategies and weaknesses, and stand firm in God’s strength and according to God’s prescribed plays in the heavenly realm. We cannot outwit or outsmart the father of lies and master of deception. To try to do so on our own would be foolish. But we have a Champion who has already studied every move on the game board. He knows what we need to do to finish this game well. It’s time to put God’s strategies for victory in spiritual warfare into practice and make the devil and his demons the ones who sweat and cry instead.”\n\nSo how do we enter into this spiritual battle and operate from the victory Christ purchased for us? We need to understand what God has provided for us through His armor and His Word. We must also understand that our enemy is a formidable one, and the only way we can resist him is from our position and our covering in Christ. And we need to understand that even when it feels like all is going well, we are already in the battle. If you are a believer, Satan has already engaged you in spiritual battle, even if you don’t recognize it. Kay Arthur said: “And finally, although we are seated above the enemy, we are in an ever present warfare. Some skirmishes are worse than others; the war’s not over. So we need to stand firm in the Lord, put on the whole armor of God so we can resist the devil.”\n\nThere’s no question that we must be ready for Satan to attack at any time and from any angle. We won’t get a warning, so we must put on our armor daily. “Satan will not wait for the Christian to get his act together and dress for battle; he will start his attack when you are most vulnerable”–Women’s Evangelical Commentary. Tomorrow we will look at the armor the Lord provides for our use in His strength and might. “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Cor. 10:3-5)"

"Hydraulink Campbelltown’s Jeff McCoskery has taken mobile advertising one step beyond – by buying an entire bus and fitting it out as a combined workshop and billboard.\n\nSurrounded by a variety of potential clients for his hydraulic hose and fitting service, McCoskery – already renowned for his attitude to outstanding service and getting the message out there – set up the bus to better spread the word locally.\n\n“We have a huge number of potential clients out here,” McCoskery says.\n\n“But they have to know who you are and where you are.”\n\nMcCoskery drew on a childhood inspiration – a vividly painted double-decker bus that used to roam the Western suburbs promoting motorcycles – to take his idea to the next level.\n\n“We bought an ex-State transport Mercedes bus and I worked nearly every Saturday for months transforming it into a fully equipped mobile service centre, mobile billboard and mobile customer reception centre combined,” he says.\n\n“We have done the job totally ourselves using the standards of engineering we promise customers in handling their machinery.”\n\nThe distinctive Hydraulink “Best Under Pressure” bus backs up its promise with a full workshop and spares facility within, and also includes a fridge, barbeque and a hospitality area for when the pressure’s off.\n\n“We were going to get a brightly decorated container on site at our Narellan headquarters to complement our workshop base there and to supply the utes we use to get onto sites that demand them for access, but this was a better idea,” McCoskery says.\n\n“Now we’re unleashing a super-size surprise on unsuspecting audiences around the district. Everyone who has seen it so far says they can’t believe it – they’ve never seen anything like it.”\n\n“Guys like Jeff are hugely motivated to get out and anticipate what the customer needs; quick responses, minimising downtime, reliable service, meeting tight deadlines and delivering global standards of safety and standards compliance across the network. They have a great story to tell, and what a way to tell it.”\n\nThe Hydraulink team will celebrate the launch of the bus with a sausage sizzle for mechanics.\n\n“These guys working at the coalface are integral to our teamwork with customers who want to optimise reliability, safety and uptime to industry-best levels,” he says.\n\n“By taking the bus to them rather than expecting them to come to us, we can get down to the nitty-gritty of their needs in a relaxed but professional way. We can show them, on the spot, the type of quality work we do.”"

"Did you ever wonder why Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan took such root among the Republican base? Did it symbolize a return to an age when wages were higher and jobs more secure? Or was it coded racial language designed to signal a rollback to a time when people of color (and women) knew their place? In the soul-searching and recrimination among Democrats after Hillary Clinton’s defeat, both theories have their champions.\n\nBut a closer look at conservative rhetoric in recent years reveals that “Make America Great Again” was not Trump’s invention. It evolved from a phrase that became central to the Republican establishment during the Obama years: “American exceptionalism.” People often equate the expression with the notion that God made America “a city upon a hill,” in the words of the Puritan colonist John Winthrop. However, as University of California-Berkeley sociology professor Jerome Karabel noted in a 2011 article, this usage only came into vogue after Barack Obama became president. Previously it was mainly used by academics to mean that America is an exception compared with other Western democracies, for better or worse, as illustrated by its top-notch universities or its bare-bones gun control.\n\nPrior to 2008, “American exceptionalism” appeared in news articles a handful of times a year, but after Obama was elected the references skyrocketed, largely because of a drumbeat from Republicans. Once the tea party wave made John Boehner speaker of the House in 2010, for example, he summarized the growing consensus among Republicans: Obama had turned his back on the Founding Fathers to the point where he “refused to talk about American exceptionalism.” (In fact, in 2009 the president had stated, “I believe in American exceptionalism.”) The phrase’s popularity in GOP talking points—often in attacks on Obama’s “socialist” policies—paralleled the spread of conspiracy theories about his citizenship and supposed jihadi sympathies.\n\nDefending “American exceptionalism” was a theme of Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign; he blasted Obama for supposedly thinking that “America’s just another nation” destined to become “a European-style entitlement society.” Romney’s campaign co-chair John Sununu added that Obama should “learn how to be an American.” (He later apologized.)\n\nThe 2016 Republican presidential candidates and their surrogates sang the same tune. When Fox News pundit Sean Hannity asked Jeb Bush for his thoughts on exceptionalism, Bush replied, “I do believe in American exceptionalism,” unlike Obama, who “is disrespecting our history and the extraordinary nature of our country.” Rudy Giuliani was more explicit. “I do not believe that the president loves America,” he asserted, suggesting Obama did not think “we’re the most exceptional country in the world.” During a speech a month later in Selma, Alabama, the president pointed out that the ongoing fight for civil rights is a cornerstone of what makes America exceptional.\n\nIn his book Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, Trump, too, framed his agenda as a defense of “American exceptionalism.” “Maybe my biggest beef with Obama is his view that there’s nothing special or exceptional about America—that we’re no different than any other country.” Trump later adopted a catchier slogan, “Make America Great Again,” but it retained the nativist overtones and racial dog whistles of the first. Paired with Trump’s open conspiracy-mongering about Obama’s forged birth certificate and supposed Muslim faith, it amplified and dramatized the Republican establishment’s slyer assertions about Obama’s un-American values.\n\nTrump would eventually abandon dog whistles in favor of blunter race-baiting. What remains to be seen is whether he and the Republican establishment will continue flashing the “exceptionalism” signal in the post-Obama years—to paint new opponents as un-American—or whether that language was uniquely deployed to delegitimize the nation’s first black president. At the very least, it provided fertile ground for Trumpism."

"A group of anonymous bloggers known as “OLAASM” plans to publish the names and emails of Berkeley students who intended to join the College Republicans after Wednesday night’s riots.\n\nIn fact, in an email sent to the students in question by OLAASM, the anonymous “anti-fascist” group alerts prospective CR members that “it is in the public interest to know who supports this kind of thing,” with the unidentified messenger noting that he “fully plan[s] to publish the list of your names as attendees at the aforementioned campus event.”\n\n“People who signed up on the sheet were contacted with these ominous and threatening emails.”\n\n“You [are] all receiving this email because you provided your names and emails to the Berkeley CRs at the Milo Yiannopoulos event this week at UC, Berkeley and that sign-up list was leaked,” the email, obtained by Campus Reform, continues. “I’m currently writing a story about the event, the signup sheet, the College Republicans’ lack of security protocols, and your attendance at this questionable event promoting the hateful bigot, Yiannopoulos.”\n\nThe email goes on to solicit responses from the prospective CR members to a series of questions, the last of which asks whether they expect to face any “negative repercussions” for their participation in the conservative club.\n\n“Are you worried that your attendance at this event—and the College Republicans’ lack of discretion/security with their email list—might have negative repercussions for you? For your athletic career? For your friendships? For your careers?” the anonymous blogger queries ominously.",
null,
"While OLAASM contests that the allegedly “leaked” sign-up sheet was due to a lack of “discretion” on behalf of the CRs, one member of the group explained to Campus Reform that it was actually snatched by an “antifa affiliate” in broad daylight.\n\n“An antifa affiliate grabbed our sign-up sheet while tabling. We chased him down and were able to recover it, but he took a photo of it and biked away quickly,” Berkeley CR member Naweed Tahmas told Campus Reform, noting that “people who signed up on the sheet were contacted with these ominous and threatening emails.”\n\n“The harassment and targeting has continued even after the Milo event. People who are not even members of the Berkeley College Republicans, and want to just hear a different viewpoint, are still being targeted by these left-wing radical groups,” Tahmas told Campus Reform.\n\nNotably, OLAASM, which apparently stands for “Occupy Los Angeles Anti-Social Media,” refuses to disclose its identity, explaining on its website that it “eschew[s] authorship, believing it provokes ego and craving.",
null,
"“We promote anonymity, collective decision-making, community and truth,” a description for the group planning to dox Berkley’s CR chapter suggests. “We have modeled this blog, tumblr, and twitter feed on the Black Bloc tactic—erasing identity and promoting solidarity—as a symbol against the corruption inherent within our movement, representing that of the wider world.”\n\nCampus Reform reached out to OLAASM for comment, asking if it would be willing to disclose its identity as it is choosing to do with that of the CR members, but did not receive a response in time for publication."

"How to Conduct a Force Field Analysis (Free Tool & Template)\n\nBut organizational change is inevitable and necessary for business – and having a plan to quickly make and implement business decisions is critical to organizational success.\n\nTo drive successful adoption of new initiatives or processes, change agents use popular change management exercises such as a force field analysis to identify roadblocks and pillars of support – and overall shorten the time from business ideation, decision, and implementation.\n\nWhat is Force Field Analysis?\n\nThe force field analysis is a widely used change management and business-diagnostic tool to help organizations gain perspective on the forces at play when you’re trying to make a large business change or decision. This approach was conceived by German-American psychologist Kurt Lewin, the creator of Lewin’s 3-Stage Model of Change, and who is also credited as the founder of modern psychology.\n\nLewin’s Force-Field Theory states that two sets of forces — called the driving and restraining forces — are always in opposition in an organization. When they’re in equilibrium, you maintain the status quo.\n\nTo drive change, you must strengthen the driving forces, weaken restraining forces, or do both simultaneously.\n\nSimilar to Newton’s first law of motion, a body remains in a state of inertia unless acted upon by an external force. The same is true for organizations. Orchestrating business change requires external forces, and conducting a force field analysis enables that process.",
null,
"When Should You Use Force Field Analysis?\n\nWhile the force field analysis is used to diagnose a problem, you can use it to:\n\nHow to Conduct a Force Field Analysis\n\nUsing this change management tool allows you to visually map the forces for, and against, a change proposal in the workplace or help decide on a difficult business decision.\n\nHere are a few examples of what a force field analysis chart will look like:",
null,
"1. Define the objective of your change project\n\nPerhaps you’re trying to implement new software, going through a merger, or have a change in leadership. The first step to effective change management in all cases is defining the expected outcomes.\n\nWhat do you hope will happen if the organization goes through the proposed change? Write that down in the middle of your force field analysis template.",
null,
"2. Identify and list all driving forces for the change\n\nDriving forces are the factors that will support the expected outcomes you desire. In Lewin’s model, these are considered a positive influence and can be internal or external.\n\nWhile external driving forces could include:\n\nThink about as many driving forces as you can that would help you affect change and list them down on the left side of your template.\n\nYou can turn to your internal team or consult change agents specializing in organizational change management.\n\nUse some of these questions to help you arrive at the answers:\n\nWrite as many forces you can think of down on the right side of your force field analysis chart.\n\nAt the end of this step, your force field analysis should look something like this:",
null,
"4. Assign each force an impact score\n\nEach force has a varying degree of influence on the expected outcome. To accommodate this, score each individual restaining and driving force a score from one(weakest) to five(strongest) to showcase which forces have the most impact.\n\nYou may also rate forces on a scale of 1-10, and choose to leave out forces that are too weak.\n\nUsing Whatfix’s force field template, write down each force and the score next to it, and add it all up.\n\nBelow is an example of what this will look like:",
null,
"Effective organizational change comes down to making your driving forces stronger, and eliminating or weakening the restraining forces pushing against a change.\n\nBased on your evaluation, you can identify which forces may be weakened and which you can strengthen.\n\nFor instance, in the example above, you could:\n\nThese solutions help swing the balance in your favor and make change implementations and transitions smooth.\n\nIf your proposed solutions cannot help you meet your goals, you may have to rethink your strategy.\n\nBut if your approach is viable, formalize your solutions in the form of a change management plan.\n\nYour plan should include:\n\nChange management models are frameworks with specific guidelines that help you plan and implement the change project. Learning these models can help you adopt best practices, so your organizational change is successful.\n\nYou can use one, two, or a combination of these proven change management models that have been tested by other businesses and developed by experts.\n\nWhile the specifics may differ, all these change management models have one thing in common; they’re employee-centric.\n\nCentering your plans around your employees can have a substantial positive impact on the success of your change project. Consider their reaction and feedback to make them a part of the process. Give them a sense of ownership rather than treating them as bystanders.\n\nNote: There is no best change management model because each business has unique needs. By taking the time to understand them all, you can determine which makes sense for you or take elements of each to create your own plan.\n\n✓ Thank you, the template will be sent to your email\n\nNetflix is a prime example of successful organizational change that used Lewin’s change management model to do so.\n\nFounded in 1997, Netflix sold DVDs and rentals by mail with a pay-per-rental model. In 1999, they launched a subscription service that allowed customers to rent unlimited DVDs for a fixed monthly price without late fees.\n\nThe pay-per-rental was transformed into a pay-for-use model.\n\nBut by 2007, interest in DVDs began to falter. 2 years of declining sales later, the market for DVDs had shrunk by 4.5% in 2007. Although Netflix’s sales were growing, Netflix’s CEO, Reed Hastings, knew they had to future-proof the business.\n\nThat was the second significant change. They went all-in on video streaming rather than focusing on improving the quality of physical delivery and managing the logistics.\n\nBut the problem was the technology to support this plan didn’t quite exist, so Netflix took a risk and launched its streaming service called “Watch Now.”\n\nNo one else was investing the kind of time, energy, and capital into building a comparable product, so by the time everyone caught on, Netflix had become the best streaming service.\n\nSo while there was no customer demand (driving force), a lack of tech advancement (restraining force), Netflix bet big on streaming, and it paid off.\n\nCut to now, and Netflix has rolled out several changes to satisfy its users:\n\nYou can see how the above changes help to reinforce the positive force field influencers and reduce the negative impact of those pushing against the company’s change.\n\nIn reality, all the steps of change models cannot be implemented nor put in practice as stipulated by the theories as you’ll soon see.\n\nChange agents may skip some steps, so it is pretty difficult to isolate all the different models, but here’s a sample of all the change models at play when Netflix changed its pricing tiers.\n\nChange management has been around for decades. But even the best, well-intentioned change projects fail. In fact, the data for change project failure rate has stood at 70% for a long time.\n\nBut according to consulting firm BCG, we’ve gotten worse at it. “75% of transformation efforts don’t deliver the hoped-for results.”\n\nOf all the reasons that your change project could go wrong, don’t allow user adoption to be one of them. One of the most crucial aspects of change management, getting employees to accept and commit to these changes, can only come when you invest in training and perhaps re-training.\n\nBut employee learning cannot be siloed. Expecting them to go through major changes while accomplishing what’s already on their plate is a recipe for disaster.\n\nDigital adoption platforms such as Whatfix can help you fix that. With Whatfix, you can get the support you need to help your implementation succeed. Employees receive support in the form of in-app content and access to training resources, helpful tips, product tours, interactive tours without ever having to leave the platform.\n\nThe help employees receive is context-aware and personalized with the ability to be delivered in a format that they’re most receptive to—video, PDF, or task lists. So adoption can occur at their pace, and your change project is more likely to succeed.\n\n1. What are alternatives to the force field analysis?\n\nYou can use a range of decision making tools to either complement or replace the force field analysis such as the cost/benefit matrix, scenario analysis, SWOT, or Pareto analysis.\n\n2. What are the advantages of the force field analysis?\n\nSome of the advantages of using the Force Field Analysis are:\n\n3. What are the limitations of the force field analysis?\n\nLike with any theory, force field analysis has a few disadvantages:",

"Budding cineastes slowly developing their love for cinema in the Internet Age have likely become aware of Zardoz's existence through the infamous image of Sean Connery dressed as a viking by way of a Prince music video while grasping a rather modern looking pistol and smiling right into the camera. It's an image that invokes thoughts of, \"Oh man, I need to see this...but, maybe later.\"\n\nBefore it went out of print, home video distributor Twilight Time resurrected this strange title for another lease on life. The definition of a cult film, Twilight Time ran through its typical allocation of 3,000 units quicker than many of its other titles, and after having seen Zardoz for myself, I can understand why: it's so goddamned weird that it's clearly the kind of title that only appeals to a very few, and those to whom it does appeal, it appears pretty hard.",
null,
"Frankly, I'm at a loss as to how I might adequately provide even the loosest iteration of Zardoz's plot, so I'm not going to try. Twilight Time's own synopsis:\n\nWriter-director John Boorman’s fabulously bizarre Zardoz (1974) is a visually stunning science fiction/fantasy fable starring Sean Connery as the spanner in the works of a dreamily languid future society. A primitive Adam, Connery’s Zed charges like a bull through the china shop of a civilization from which all signs of lusty humanity have been drained.\n\nAdded to that: by film's end, Connery will end up in a wedding dress before he turns into a skeleton, all while holding hands with...another skeleton.\n\nZardoz is an entirely maddening, confusing, frustrating, highly amusing experience that cannot be easily summarized into mere words. To try would be to harvest from the film its identity, its uniqueness, and its complete lunacy. Zardoz is artistic expression unrestrained, anchored by the presence of former James Bond Sean Connery, whose involvement wrongly assures the most mainstream of audiences that he's made a film that appeals to everyone who enjoys going down to the cinemas on a Sunday afternoon looking for a brief slice of harmless escapism. Zardoz's \"story\" is baffling. Zardoz's \"message\" is baffling. That Zardoz was produced and distributed by a major motion picture studio is utterly baffling. But it's here: now, and for all time. It's recently turned forty-five years old, and its legend remains firmly intact. It's wonderfully and weirdly captivating, and deserves to be seen once. Though it may demand more than one viewing to fully appreciate how utterly mad it is, the jury will be forever out on who would ever do such a thing.",
null,
"A good friend of mine put it best: \"Sean Connery turned down both The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings because he 'didn't get' them, but he said yes to Zardoz.\"\n\nYou figure that one out.\n\nZardoz is less of a film and more of an experience. Like that fever dream you once had following your all-night puke-a-thon the last time you got that really nasty stomach bug from the half-KFC/half-Taco Bell, Zardoz probably makes sense somewhere in the outer-reaches of artistic creation, but here on Earth, it's frankly one of the most absurd and deeply abstract 105 minutes of your lifetime. What on the surface may look like a silly B-movie accidentally starring Sean Connery is actually an art-house experiment straddling the line between erotic thriller and science-fiction extravaganza purposely starring Sean Connery. Those interested by such a breakdown may possibly use Jonathan Glazer's 2013 film Under the Skin, another unorthodox film about cross-universe alien races driven by a deconstruction of sexuality, as a guide to determine what kind of experience Zardoz may provide. One thing is for sure: you've never seen anything like it.",

"BEIJING - Four men in northwest China have been sentenced to prison for the grisly crime of digging up the corpses of 10 women and selling them for \"ghost marriages.\"\n\nThe grotesque \"brides\" were sold for a total of 240,000 RMB, or $38,000, according to court reports. The grave robbers were sentenced to prison terms ranging from two years and four months to two years and eight months in prison.\n\nThe bodies were sought by families of men who died as bachelors. The buyers were arranging \"ghost marriages,\" a traditional custom in which parents find \"spouses\" for their unmarried, deceased children so that they can have a family in the afterlife.\n\nThe cadavers were stolen from their graves in Ya'an province beginning in the winter of 2011, according to reports. They were dug up in the middle of the night and hid in the thieves' homes where the corpses were cleaned up. Forged medical records were created in hopes of making it appear the corpses were only recently deceased and coming from reliable sources, allowing them to charge premium prices.\n\nGhost marriages are a 3,000 year-old custom that is especially common in rural parts of north China where young men often die in coal mining accidents. When a young man dies a bachelor, family members may consider it unnatural, and fear that the deceased's spirit may be restless.",

"Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche is a meditation master and teacher residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the author of Our Pristine Mind: A Practical Guide to Unconditional Happiness, and is known for his accessible, passionate, and joyful approach to personal transformation. Rinpoche teaches regularly in the Bay Area, and travels throughout the world speaking to a broad range of audiences about how to improve their lives through meditation.\n\nOrgyen Chowang Rinpoche is a meditation master in the Nyingma lineage of the Buddhist tradition. He received his education and training for ten years starting at the age of fourteen at Larung Gar in Serta, eastern Tibet, with his teacher, the great Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche, who is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest Dzogchen masters of the twentieth century.\n\nOrgyen Chowang Rinpoche grew up in a remote village in Eastern Tibet. From an early age, he was interested in meditation and spirituality and recalls the excitement he felt visiting his first teacher, Khenpo Depa, on a daily basis while he was building a Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava statue in his hometown. At a young age, Rinpoche began reading Tibetan with his father and his first teaching came early on from Khenpo Depa, who taught him the Namcho Ngondro, foundational teachings for meditation and spirituality, for one month. It was during this time that Rinpoche really began to become inspired to study in depth, practice meditation, and begin the journey to enlightenment.\n\nIn 1983, Rinpoche and his father went on pilgrimage to meet the great Dzogchen master Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. They travelled for an entire day by horseback to see this highly respected teacher and this trip proved to be a pivotal experience in Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche’s life. In the two weeks that Orgyen Chowang was visiting Larung Gar, the meditation retreat center of Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche, he had the opportunity to spend time with many special meditation masters. Rinpoche saw people receiving teachings, studying together, and practicing meditation together. It was unlike any experience he had before. Until that moment, Rinpoche didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life, but after that visit, he felt inspired and it suddenly became perfectly clear.\n\nAs a result of this decision, Orgyen Chowang had the unique and precious opportunity to live at Larung Gar and continuously receive training and teachings from Khenpo Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche on practically a daily basis from 1983 to 1992. These ten years were a very profound and transformative period in Orgyen Chowang’s life. As a student at Larung Gar, Orgyen Chowang was able to immerse himself in the study and practice of the core texts and principles found at the heart of the Mahayana, Vajrayana and Dzogchen teachings. Over this ten-year period he received teachings, meditation instructions, and spiritual training. In particular, he developed a special appreciation of and connection with the teachings of Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava.",
null,
"Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche personally taught the most precious and profound teachings of the Buddhist tradition regularly during this rare period of time. For example, on a yearly basis particular emphasis was placed on the teachings on The Six Bardos; The Secret Essence Tantra, The Longchen Nyingthik tradition as well as instructions pointing out the nature of awareness from the traditions of Guru Rinpoche, Vimalamitra, Longchenpa, and Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche’s own treasure teachings.\n\nOrgyen Chowang Rinpoche’s training and education is authentic and unique in that he received in-depth and comprehensive teachings and advice from an enlightened Buddhist master on profound texts multiple times and over many years.\n\nOne of the highlights of his training occurred in 1987 when Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche travelled with 10,000 Tibetans to WuTaiShan (Manjushri Mountain) in eastern China on a three-month pilgrimage with Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche where he visited Buddhist sacred locations and received very precious teachings and transmissions on Longchenpa’s Seven Treasures as well as on Khenpo Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche’s own Manjushri Dzogchen treasure teachings. This trip had a very special impact on Orgyen Chowang’s life because it was the first time his eyes were opened to the possibility of traveling outside his childhood home in eastern Tibet. The special circumstances of this experience inspired him to develop strong inspiration to eventually leave his homeland in order to teach and share the teachings of Guru Rinpoche with people from all cultures, ethnicities, and parts of the world. It was during this time that it became clear that his life’s mission would be to share these transformative teachings with people all over the world.\n\nIn 1990, Orgyen Chowang completed the studies, practice, and meditation training required for the khenpo degree, the highest degree of Buddhist study and practice. Out of a class of over one thousand, he was among the first group of only fifty-five highly accomplished students upon whom Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche bestowed the degree. The graduates of this and subsequent classes from Larung Gar now teach throughout the world preserving this enlightened lineage.\n\nIn 1992 Orgyen Chowang arrived in Kathmandu Nepal where he taught at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery for three years as a resident teacher to lamas, monks, and western students. During this period of time, he had the opportunity to receive Dzogchen teachings in the Chokling Tersar tradition from Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. In 1995 he had the great fortune to meet and receive teachings from Thinley Norbu Rinpoche. He developed a very special and deep connection with Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, and during this time he received empowerments, transmissions and teachings of the Dudjom Tersar Lineage from this great master. Soon thereafter Thinley Norbu Rinpoche personally invited him to come to the United States to live and teach. In 1996 at Thinley Norbu Rinpoche’s suggestion, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche hosted Orgyen Chowang at Pema Osel Ling in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, where he taught in the Vajrayana Foundation College of Buddhist Studies. Three years later, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he currently resides.\n\nFrom 1996 to 2004, in addition to traveling to many parts of the United States teaching, Rinpoche dedicated time to teaching two groups of students four times a year in the California Napa Valley.\n\nBetween 2004 and 2009, Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche shifted his focus to his own practice and to developing his own meditation experience. He internalized the studies that he received many years before at Larung Gar and contemplated each teaching to gain a more experiential connection with what he had learned. He began working on the practice that would become the foundation for his first book, Our Pristine Mind: A Practical Guide to Unconditional Happiness (Shambhala, 2016).\n\nWith his meditation practice established and his English improving, from 2009 to 2010 Rinpoche began exploring more parts of the Bay Area and teaching in other locations around the US such as Hawaii, the East Coast, the Pacific Northwest, and several locations throughout Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.\n\nOrgyen Chowang Rinpoche teaches from his own experience, and doesn’t rely solely on intellectual descriptions. He teaches very passionately about meditation and spirituality and makes even the most complex topics seem simple and accessible. Both new and experienced students easily understand Rinpoche’s teachings. Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche’s students treasure him for the happiness and clarity his teachings bring to every area of their lives."

"Hi folks! I’m filling in for Karen this week and it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these reviews so go easy on me. But you know what they say about riding bicycles… you never forget how to ride one and you never forget how to write a good review when you have an outstanding episode like this one. This week NCIS: Los Angeles gave us an exciting storyline penned by Samantha Chasse in her first solo effort for the show. It successfully melded the newbies with the core pairs of Sam-Callen and Deeks-Kensi while offering some sweet Densi emotion and some kick butt action directed by Eric A. Pot.\n\nI have written many a review of this show in my day, and I have learned to leave the plot way behind as I searched to pull out those bright nuggets of character interaction and development into the forefront. It’s always what kept me coming back week after week. You didn’t think it was all those explosions, did you? Yet this episode was different despite the exciting fireworks at the end because there were many shinning gems to be found throughout the story. Lets look at some of those highlights…..\n\nAlthough I have yet to warm up to Fatima and Rountree I have to admit their characters may be growing on me despite the fact that I feel most of the time they are superfluous and not needed. Even Callen’s not too sure about the new recruits, “The kid’s got this right??” But this time was different. The young agents actually felt like one of the team and not isolated from the whole. Actually the entire team seemed to be back on track again and working together like the NCIS gang of old. Welcome back guys, we missed you!\n\nIt was fun to listen to Deeks’ impersonation of Doc Holiday and Kensi’s lament about changing the Netflix password. But Kensi is troubled and still at odds over the ‘magic of matrimony’ especially while her demons are still churning inside her head. Poor Deeks (Lord, how many times have I written that phrase?) is trying desperately to bring her out of her funk to no avail. The guy tries soooo hard. Sometimes you have to wonder why Kensi can’t see how much Deeks is suffering alongside her as they wait to find out if she can conceive a child. This is killing Deeks because he wants so much for her to be happy in her pursuit of becoming a mother. They are going through this together, but it seems Kensi can only see her own pain. I get it, never having kids, I can only imagine how heartbreaking it is to yearn for a child that may never come. So, I’ll give Kensi a break and show some compassion. But I just wish she didn’t need to feel her only option is to take it out on Deeks. Yes, another angsty night at the Deeks’ household.\n\nBack at Ops, Nell is having her own problems trying to take the mess that was Hetty’s former office and redesigning it into an organized space she can use. She may not be picking out paint but it is a ritual that she needs to perform desperately. She has real doubts about filling Hetty’s shoes and like Kensi, those same demons of doubt keep swirling around in her head as she clears the disorganization from Hetty’s office. Can she measure up to the job? Despite being a pint-sized ninja, Nell has the right to be dubious and skeptical. She’s young and inexperienced and Hetty is a legendary icon who is most certainly an enigma, and maybe impossible to live up to. But even Hetty had to start somewhere and eventually Nell has the potential to be a great OSP manager, if her insecurities don’t tear her up first. This week she showed some real nerves of steel. She just needs to believe in herself. But will she stay long enough to find out or let her insecurities override the potential within?\n\nWhy is it that every store Kensi and Deeks investigate has some sort of employee from hell? In this case, Danny is ready to gleefully throw his manager under the bus and provide the intel they are seeking to lead them to a viable suspect in the case. The best parts of these scenes are the faces Eric Christian Olsen pulls to express doubt, suspicion, or surprise at some the employee’s theories. It’s worth it just to watch Deeks try not to make fun of these airheads. Making us smile is what Eric does best especially when he’s trying not to make us laugh.\n\nAs the team tracks down who created the deep fake, the action in the apartment complex is exciting to watch as Deeks is filmed in slow motion as he dodges bullets in the hallway. Nice touch. Pot does a great job of creating the tension throughout the scene. It was so creepy hearing the digitally created voices of the team answering Nell’s questions in a zombie like fashion which added an additional terrifying aspect to the scene. The comms have been compromised and Nell is faced with whether or not she gives the terrorists what they want or risks the lives of her team. This is where the metal hits the road, and Nell finally shows us she has what it takes to lead this team. It was satisfying to watch her grow stronger and more confident.\n\nDigital immortality. The premise of this episode has far reaching implications for the world and the burgeoning of want-to-be dictators. If this technology is currently in place or being developed, the world just became a scarier place. As I listened to Callen interrogate this terrorist his words were unsettling. The battle for ideologies has reached a whole new level. The next Bin Laden will never be silenced. Not a lovely thought at all, Callen.\n\nWhat if we’re never pregnant? Kensi decides to acknowledge the elephant in the room and address the question that needs to be asked. Always jumping to the worst case scenario, Kensi decides to berate Deeks for not seeing the big picture. But one of the reasons we truly love Deeks is his joie de vivre, always choosing optimism over pessimism. (Unless it comes to himself but then that’s for another show and review.) This show has the ability to douse us with a large dose of reality, yet Deeks is always trying to bring things into perspective by teaching his partner that life is a series of paths to be taken and they need not be all dark roads to be traveled down. I laughed when Nell tells Deeks, you can’t fake that level of annoyance. He may be annoying but he’s usually right. In the end Kensi realizes love is all that matter and she truly loves Deeks. Once she gets done berating herself for not being perfect, she gives into the possibility of optimism, forgives herself and picks up the paint brush.\n\nThe episode came to a rousing and final conclusion with a big boom! The action and choreography was so well done, and harkens back to episodes which have become legendary with fans. Pot and company did a great job. Seems like we’re still grappling with Katya and the aftermath of the Russian debacle so this whole arc of the series is still in play as well.\n\nWe only have a few more episodes left this season and it will be interesting to find out where the showrunners will take us next. What did you think of this week’s episode? Leave your comments down below. Don’t forget to return later in the week for Deek’s Surf Log and Kensi’s Journal as I’m sure they will have much more to say about this week’s case."

"Extinction Rebellion protesters, who blockaded the printing presses preventing the delivery of three and a half million newspapers, have been given conditional discharges or fined as little as £150 each, after a judge declared no damage was caused.\n\nThe environmental activists were accused of attempting to stifle press freedom when they used vehicles and bamboo structures to block the roads outside the printing works at Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, last September.\n\nThe plant, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News UK, is where The Sun and The Times are printed along with other titles including the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, the Daily Mail and the London Evening Standard.\n\nAbout 50 activists parked two vans in front of the gates and erected bamboo structures which some then climbed on to and refused to move.\n\nThe disruption meant newspapers, including The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, could not be distributed properly that weekend. News UK estimated the financial cost of the chaos at around £1 million.\n\nProsecutors asked the judge to order £5,000 in payments against the six defendants as way of compensation.\n\nHowever, District Judge Sally Fudge rejected the application, insisting the protest had been peaceful, adding that she was not aware of any damage that had been caused.\n\nThe sentences were criticised as being too lenient and failing to provide any sort of deterrent to those who wanted to target the free press in the future.\n\nSt Albans’s Magistrates' Court heard how the activists had trained for the protest with some using rock climbing equipment to attach themselves to the bamboo structures.",

"When police arrived on the scene, the group refused a request by the officers to move out of the road.\n\nDuring the trial, the group claimed they wanted to disrupt the distribution of the newspapers to highlight what they argued was the media’s failure to report the seriousness of the climate crisis.\n\nShe said the protesters had been able to exercise their right to protest, but it had been at the expense of the rights of others.\n\nShe explained that one hundred workers, including printers and engineers as well as some cleaners, had found themselves trapped inside the plant and unable to get in their cars and drive home when their shift ended at 5am.\n\nShe handed down a 12-month conditional discharge to Sally Davidson, 33, of Streatham, London; Liam Norton, 36, of Scarborough; and James Ozden, 25, of London, and ordered them to pay prosecution costs of £150 with a victim surcharge of £22.\n\nCritics warned that such lenient sentences would send the wrong message.",

If the only penalty for trying to censor the free press is a conditional discharge or a fine of £150, what’s to stop other protest groups targeting newspapers?\n\n“I would defend to the death Extinction Rebellion’s right to set out its case in the public square, but that right doesn’t extend to using unlawful means to silence its opponents, or people they perceive to be its opponents.\n\n“Free speech doesn’t just mean being allowed to say your piece, it means allowing others to say theirs as well, even if you passionately disagree with it.”\n\nStuart Reddish, the national president of the Federation of Independent Retailers, said the “selfish actions” of the group had meant they were \"unable to get newspapers into the hands of elderly and vulnerable customers\".\n\n“We are bitterly disappointed that the protesters have been punished with little more than slaps on the wrists when our members' sales were decimated,” he added.\n\nFollowing the incident, Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, promised to do more to tackle unlawful protests.\n\nThe Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill currently going through Parliament would give police forces in England and Wales more power to impose conditions on non-violent protests.\n\nTwo of the defendants were not present to hear the verdicts: Ms Bujak had been unable to attend. Mr Norton had been excluded from the proceedings at the start of the trial on Monday of last week when he had glued his hand to a table in the courtroom."

"Some of the plants seized from the premises at Apex Trading Estate in Lower Eccleshill, Darwen\n\nTHREE men have pleaded guilty to producing cannabis following the discovery of an estimated £4million drugs farm in Darwen.\n\nJacek Pieczur, 24, Aurel Gjuzi, 24 and Sulejman Lloni, 31, all of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to the offence when they appeared in the dock at Preston Crown Court.\n\nGjuzi and Sulejman, who are Albanian nationals, and Pieczur, who is Polish, entered their pleas with the assistance of interpreters.\n\nThe charges came after police raided industrial premises on the Apex Trading Estate in Lower Eccleshill on October 8.\n\nAn estimated 8,000 to 10,000 plants, which would have an estimated street value of between around £3.2million and £4million, were recovered.\n\nLarge amounts of electrical equipment and sleeping bags were also found within the unit.\n\nHeaters, lamps and temperature gauges seized have been donated to Blackpool Zoo to help with the care of exotic animals and insects.\n\nThey are now in use in various reptile enclosures and aquariums across the zoo and will help to promote natural behaviours in the animals and encourage plant growth.\n\nSpeaking at the time of the raid, a police spokesman said: “This is believed to be the biggest ever cannabis farm found in Lancashire.\n\n“We will continue to target those taking part in this illegal activity and will act on information passed to us to disrupt and ultimately prevent those involved in the drugs trade from operating on our streets.\n\n“Cannabis can have lasting physical and mental health effects on users as well as having a negative effect on our communities and fuelling other crime and we are determined to tackle that.”\n\nProsecuting, Hanifa Patel asked Judge Robert Altham for an adjournment so the Crown Prosecution Service could consider the defendants’ basis of pleas, the police could finish examining mobile phone evidence and come up with a final valuation for the cannabis plants.\n\nShe said: “We are not in a position to say whether we accept the basis of pleas today. Your honour may have seen my note which identifies the fact the phone evidence is yet to be analysed. It’s taking longer than expected because of the language the messages are sent in.”\n\nDefending Lloni, Jane Dagnall said: “He accepts he was involved in cleaning up some harvested cannabis plants.”\n\nThe defendants were remanded in custody until December 2.\n\nKike Setien: Barcelona didn't play a great match. Espanyol played well in defense\nAndujar Oliver on deletions: Fati went too far in the foot, and the foul on the Peak was even more dangerous, perhaps\nAtalanta extended the winning streak to 11 matches, beating Sampdoria-2:0\nMilner played his 536th game in the Premier League and was ranked in the top 5 of the League in games played\nBarca midfielder Fati is removed in the Derby with Espanyol. He spent 5 minutes on the field\nSuarez scored 195 goals for Barcelona and finished third in the club's top scorer list\nDaniele de Rossi: People call Messi cowardly, but they are afraid to ask their wives for a remote control from the TV\nSource https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/18035865.three-plead-guilty-4million-darwen-cannabis-farm/?ref=rss"

"There are at least two artists known as Case. 1) an R&B performer from New York 2) a British Punk/Ska/Oi! band formed originally in the early 1980's, recently re-formed (Summer 2011). http://www.aintgonnadance.info/case/ 1) Case Woodard was born in New York City and was signed to Def Soul records. He first started working in the R&B industry as a backup singer, working with big name R&B artists like Usher.\n\n1) an R&B performer from New York\n\n1) Case Woodard was born in New York City and was signed to Def Soul records. He first started working in the R&B industry as a backup singer, working with big name R&B artists like Usher.\n\nIn 1996, Case released his self-titled debut album. The album featured \"Touch Me Tease Me\" with rapper Foxy Brown and R&B singer Mary J. Blige, the hit single from \"The Nutty Professor\". The single went gold, reaching #4 on the R&B charts and #14 on the Hot 100.\n\nCase's second album, Personal Conversation, was released in 1999 and went gold. The album featured the hit single \"Happily Ever After\" which reached #3 on the R&B charts and #15 on the Hot 100. The album's other single, \"Think Of You\" failed to do well on the charts, managing to only reach #50 on the R&B charts.\n\nOpen Letter, Case's most well-known album was released in 2001. The album went gold, likely a result of the single \"Missing You.\" \"Missing You\" is Case's only #1 single to date as it topped the R&B charts and reached #4 on the Hot 100.\n\nAfter the success of ?Open Letter?, Case moved to Atlanta to be closer to his children, and has over the last several years proven to be a real survivor. To say his seven years ?away? from music have been interesting would be an understatement. In 2002 his true determination to survive was witnessed when Case accidentally shot himself in the throat. The bullet that went in through his throat and came out of the back of his neck was miraculously less than a centimeter away from paralyzing and killing him. To the shock of everyone around, Case was out of the hospital in four hours with just bandages around his neck.\n\nWith no damage done to his vocal chords Case continued to work on completing his fourth album, but due to professional differences Case asked to be released from Def Jam Records in 2004. He has since worked through the challenges of a changing music industry and partnered with manager Blue Williams to create and independent record label, Indigo Blue. Case is now poised to release his much anticipated album, The Rose Experience in Fall 2008.\n\nThe Rose Experience, which stays true to Case's signature sound --soul music with a twist of new jack and hip-hop--will not disappoint fans. Always drawing from his musical influencers like Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, Elton John and Earth Wind and Fire, new songs such as ?Lovely? and ?I Can't? will take the listener on a journey into love and relationships from Case's perspective.\n\nDon't expect to just get great music from Case, this multi-talented artist has been working out his acting chops as well. Fans can look forward to seeing Case on the big screen in the near future.\n\nBe prepared to get reacquainted and fall in love with Case all over again."

"How a Weekend Digital Detox Helped Me Bond With My Dogs\n\nI never thought I’d be a person who needed a digital detox. But cut to me, explaining to friends how I was going to turn off my phone and laptop for an entire weekend—beginning Friday evening and continuing through Sunday night—so I could spend more time with my pets. Their responses were pretty much all the same: “Really?” and “Do you think you can do it?” and even a resounding “HA!”\n\nIt was safe to say that even though I didn’t think I was on my phone that much, the people who know me best seemed to see me as somewhat of a technology addict.\n\nBut I’m not alone. A July 2019 Pew Research Center study found that approximately 80 percent of U.S. adults go online at least daily. What’s more, 48 percent of those ages 18-29 are online “almost constantly.” In my age group, 30-49, it’s 36 percent. As everything in our lives has shifted online—how we receive the news, connect with family and friends, and watch TV shows—it’s not surprising that the amount of time we spend on the internet is so high and continues to rise.\n\n“When people become obsessed with their phones and social media, they are not present in their lives with people and even their pets,” she says. “Everything aside from a digital outlet becomes secondary in terms of importance.”\n\nWhich brings me back to what inspired my own tech-free weekend: my two dogs.\n\nI work from home, so I thought being around them every day was enough. But as I thought about it more, I realized the answer was no. When was the last time I had taken our dogs—Lily, a 4-year-old Basenji mix, and Gus, a 9-year-old English Springer Spaniel—on a long walk along their favorite trail? Or played their favorite game, chase-the-laser-pointer? The quantity time was there, but it wasn’t really quality time. My digital detox could certainly help them be happier—and possibly me, as well.\n\nBefore disconnecting from technology, I set some ground rules:\n\nNext, I bought a film camera, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S, to document the weekend, since I couldn’t rely on my phone to take digital photos.\n\nAs soon as Friday afternoon came, I closed my laptop, put down my phone, swore off social media and Netflix, and embarked on my weekend without technology.",
null,
"4:00 p.m.\nInspired to get outside and away from any and all screens, my fiancé, Todd, and I decided to kick off my digital detox weekend by skipping our usual Friday afternoon happy hour and instead take Lily and Gus on a walk around our old neighborhood, where we moved from two years ago and many of our friends still live. It was a chilly afternoon, so we put on their sweaters—Lily, especially, looked cute in her Frisco Moose Fair Isle Dog Sweater. They loved walking around the courtyards where they used to play as puppies. I instinctively reached for my phone to take a video, but stopped myself. I realized had it not been for the digital detox, I probably would have spent most of the walk updating my Instagram story.\n7:00 p.m.\nWe spent the rest of the evening cooking, relaxing and genuinely enjoying each other’s company sans technology.\n9:00 p.m.\nAfter a long week, it was an early-to-bed kind of night for the whole gang. But this bedtime routine was a bit different. Instead of spending the last few minutes scrolling through Facebook, I shifted my attention to the dogs, making sure to give them extra belly rubs",
null,
"10:00 a.m.\nAfter getting home from a workout class, I showered and made myself a cup of coffee. Because I swore off technology for the weekend, I finally had time to read a book I had purchased a few months prior but that had taken a backseat to Netflix shows. I settled in on the big, comfy chair in our living room. It’s our dogs’ favorite chair, so it didn’t take long for them to join me. I spent the next hour reading, while Lily stared out the window (her favorite spot for squirrel- and people-watching), and Gus napped. Eventually, Lily fell asleep, too, snuggled up against Gus. It was such a sweet moment that never would have happened if it weren’t for my digital detox. Other than today, I rarely sit in that chair because it’s difficult to see the TV.\n2:00 p.m.\nOur friend, Kimberly, had heard about my digital detox weekend and thought it was the perfect opportunity for a phone-free puppy play date. With the dogs decked out in their winter sweaters, we hopped in the car for a surprise visit to see their best friends, Bo and Chase.\n2:15 p.m.\nThe first thing we did once we arrived—after the excited hellos and tail wags, of course—was celebrate with treats. (This crew is a big fan of Old Mother Hubbard Classic Original Assortment Oven Baked Dog Biscuits.) Everyone did a great job of sitting pretty for the camera and practicing commands like “shake” and “down.”\n2:45 p.m.\nAfter Todd and I caught up with our friends for a few minutes, we took the dogs outside to check if there were any squirrels to bark at. There weren’t, but Lily loved sniffing around the patio and getting some more head rubs while enjoying the fresh air. The rest of the afternoon was all about making sure Lily, Gus, Bo and Chase enjoyed their play date—and fighting the urge to document every second of it on social media.\n3:15 p.m.\nWhen we got home, we gave the dogs a chance to unwind and nap while we ran errands. Even when we weren’t with the dogs, I felt so much more present in the moment because I wasn’t glued to my phone.\n9:00 p.m.\nAfter a walk around the neighborhood and dinner, Lily and Gus were so exhausted that they beat us to bed. Once we joined them, we each grabbed a book and read some more until everyone fell asleep. I even felt like I slept better that night, which isn’t surprising considering that studies show staring at your phone right before bed affects your sleep.",

"12:30 p.m.\nMy brother was in town after driving cross-country from Los Angeles with his 7-year-old Boxer-Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, Albus, so we all met up at our parents’ house. Because I had sworn off my laptop for the weekend, the canine cousins got my full attention. Once everyone got settled, it was playtime! Lily has never been very nice about sharing her favorite toys, but she eventually made an exception for Albus. They are cousins, after all!\n3:00 p.m.\nAfter an afternoon of playing and a few walks, the dogs sprawled out to take a nap. In fact, it was such a tiring day that they spent the next few hours lounging around on various couches, chairs, ottomans and beds, as we humans enjoyed some family time.\n10:00 p.m.\nAs I crawled into bed that night, I reflected on the weekend. It had been much easier to disconnect than I had expected. I felt more relaxed during the digital detox than I had in awhile and I know that was because I didn’t feel obligated to be constantly checking in on my texts, social media or email. I decided that, come the next morning, I’d try harder to do “mini detoxes” throughout the week.\n\nWhat I Learned from My Digital Detox\n\nThe digital detox only lasted 56 hours, but for those 56 hours I think our two dogs got more of my attention (and Todd’s, since he was the official photographer for most of the weekend) than they had in the last two weeks combined.\n\nIt’s been a few weeks since the detox weekend, but there’s no doubt I’m still reaping the benefits of disconnecting from technology for those few days. I realized that it’s just as easy to put down my phone as it is to pick it up and mindlessly scroll through Instagram.\n\n“Living in a technology-driven world, we have to learn how to disengage from technology,” Solomon says. She recommends putting your phone on airplane mode for an hour or keeping it in a separate room from you.\n\n“I also encourage my patients to not be on their phones when they are out with friends, and explain the importance of actually focusing and communicating with the people in front of them,” she says. “It is very difficult to disconnect, but it’s so important.”\n\nOur digital detox weekend wasn’t anything flashy or fancy, but the pups seemed to enjoy the quality time, the surprise outings, long walks, visiting friends and generally getting to do things we wouldn’t have done if I had been glued to my phone, laptop or Netflix for hours each day.\n\nIn fact, I’ve now gotten so good at keeping my phone out of reach that I keep forgetting where I put it. And the dogs are loving it."

The Trans-Siberian Railway is often associated with the main transcontinental Russian line that connects hundreds of large and small cities of the European and Asian parts of Russia. At 9259 km cover, it spans a record of seven time zones and takes 8 days to complete the journey. This is only third longest single line service in the world after Moscow - Pyongyang line which runs for 10267 km and Kiev - Vladivostok line which runs for 11085 km. Trans - Siberian railway reaches 3 countries Mongolia, China and North Korea. There are mainly 3 rail routes. First, The Trans - Siberian Proper goes from Moscow to the Pacific terminus of Vladivostok. Second, The Trans - Mongolian goes from Moscow to Beijing, China via Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Third route, The Trans - Manchurian travels through Siberia and Manchuria to Beijing. This longest uninterrupted train route in the world travels through different terrains. From forest to mountain, from dessert to steppe, it covers all, thrilling the travellers on the coaches.\n\nThe three termini of the Trans-Siberian are Moscow, Beijing and Vladivostok. Most travellers will need visas for all three countries except if you are going to Vladivostok or Sakhalin by Trans Siberian route without visiting any other countries apart Russia. The Russian train system is different from European systems. Order your tickets as soon as possible especially from July to September and around New Year. The train tickets are bought for fixed dates and all the stops must be planned in advance. There are multiple ways of buying tickets for the trip on Trans - Siberian lines. Purchase tickets from travel agency in your own country or from a travel agency in the country where from you will start your journey. You can also turn up yourself and buy tickets and buying online tickets is also an option for every traveller. Plan your journey as per the schedule of trains on Trans- Siberian lines as some trains run daily while some run on even dates or odd dates. Some other trains run only twice a week.",

"Colombo [Sri Lanka], November 23 (ANI): Indo-Sri Lankan cultural relations will get a re-boost with the \"spiritual tourism\" efforts as a part of the Ramayana heritage tourism.\n\nThe cultural tourism initiative got a major boost under the Narendra Modi government as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed to promote Ramayana in 2016, said an article in Colombo Gazette.\n\nEarlier both India and Sri Lanka had agreed in 2008 to work on enhancing shared cultural and religious values based on Ramayana heritage.\n\nIn October 2021, new measures to boost bilateral travel between Sri Lanka and India came under review at the third meeting of the Joint Working Group (JWG) dedicated to tourism.\n\nJeewana Fernando, who is in charge of the Ramayana Trail at the Sri Lankan Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA), said that they are gearing up to promote the Ramayana Trail post-pandemic and have already earmarked promoting many of the 52 sites that are located in the country.\n\n\"The SLTDA annually allocates around Rs 20 million for promoting the Ramayana Trail in Sri Lanka and they have coordinated with many Hindu religious missions in India to bring devotees to Sri Lanka on the Ramayana heritage,\" he said.\n\n\"The SLTDA has identified and promoted only 32 sites that are located in the fabulous natural beauty of the county and is hoping to promote the rest of the attractions in the coming years,\" he added.\n\nThe JWG follows the mandate of the Indo-Sri Lankan inter-governmental bilateral MoU signed in January 2004 which has developed bilateral tourism and has drawn a large number of Indian visitors to Sri Lanka in recent times.\n\nThe \"Ramayana Trail in Sri Lanka\" and the spiritual tourism had cricketers Arjuna Ranatunga and Arvinda Desilva as brand ambassadors.\n\nDespite being a Buddhist country, Sri Lankan audience is fascinated by the Ramayana movies and television episodes aired from India which helps them to be culturally connected.\n\nSri Lanka understands the importance of the cultural connection between New Delhi and Colombo through the Ramayana epic along with the other being the Mahabharat.\n\nThe fillip to the initiate has assumed more significance post-pandemic with the Sri Lanka government has earmarked the initiative to promote the Ramayana Trail as a part of its expanding tourism industry.\n\nThe Sri Lankan Tourism Development Authority along with the Indian government has been the brain behind \"Spiritual Tourism\".\n\nAccording to SLTDA, at least 250,000 Indian tourists annually visit one of the 52 sites of the Ramayana Trail in Sri Lanka which will increase following the easing of the restriction once the pandemic is over, Colombo Gazette article said.\n\nThe top Ramayana Trails is the Sita Amman Temple in Nuwara Eliya, and Indian tourists never fail to visit.\n\nDespite facing competition from China, Indian tourists are the top visitors. Factually, there were around 426, 000 Indian tourist arrivals to Sri Lanka, whereas Chinese tourists accounted for only 267, 000.\n\nWhile the Indian government is promoting Sri Lankan Buddhists to visit the Buddhist trails in India, it's an opportunity for both countries to promote each other to strengthen the economies when the global economy has plummeted due to COVID-19.\n\nSri Lanka has more attractions for all religions, and the Ramayana Trail tops them all.

"Members of the volunteer force British Divers Marine Life Rescue spent Christmas Eve on an East Yorkshire beach in rough weather – but were unable to provide a happy ending to the mass stranding of 10 sperm whales.\n\nTwo large whales had initially been reported in trouble in the early morning in shallow water between Tunstall and Withernsea, with unknown numbers further offshore.\n\nThe Coastguard informed BDMLR, which sent a team of its Marine Mammal Medics with rescue equipment to join its officers at the scene, but with rough seas and bad weather there was little that could be done other than to observe the unusual incident. The last of the pod of juvenile male whales had died by late afternoon.\n\nNormally sperm whales, the largest of the toothed whales, would be foraging as deep as 2km for squid off the west coast of the UK, said BDMLR. There were few feeding opportunities for them in the shallow North Sea where they stranded, and in their malnourished condition it was thought they would not have survived for long even if they could have been refloated.\n\nMost of the BDMLR’s work is carried out with seals, dolphins and porpoises. The size and weight of sperm whales, with those stranded measuring almost 20m in length and weighing up to 80 tonnes, makes them very difficult to lift, move or even euthanise.\n\nLocal authorities and beach-owners would have to arrange disposal of the whales if their bodies were not washed back out to sea, said BDMLR.\n\nDespite the logistical difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic, during 2020 the organisation’s volunteers responded to 1788 call-outs. The vast majority of these involved seals, along with 94 for dolphins and porpoises and 36 for whales.\n\nBDMLR was formed by scuba divers in East Anglia in 1988 – find out more about its work here."

"North Dakota on July 8 sued President Joe Biden’s administration over its cancellation of a planned auction of oil and gas leases.\n\nUnder the Mineral Leasing Act, lease sales must be held at least once a quarter in each state where eligible lands are available. But the lease sale scheduled for March was canceled and a regularly scheduled sale pegged for June was not held.\n\nNorth Dakota officials said in the lawsuit, filed in federal court, that the illegal cancellations appeared to be in response to a Biden executive order that directed the secretary of the Interior to “pause new oil and natural gas leases” provided doing so was consistent with the law.\n\nThe impact of the actions was compounded because the blocked development of federal lands has led to a delay in developing state and private interests, the suit added.\n\n“I have taken this action to protect North Dakota’s economy, the jobs of our hard-working citizens, and North Dakota’s rights to control its own natural resources,” said North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, a Republican, in a statement announcing the filing.\n\nThe cost of the cancellations is already over $80 million, a number that could enter the billions unless the administration’s actions are stopped, Stenehjem asserted.\n\nThe Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management, two of the named defendants, declined to comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.\n\nAdministration officials have also canceled or postponed lease sales in other states after Biden’s order was issued. Biden has said he wants to push the country to adopt alternative forms of energy at a faster pace.\n\nBiden in his order claimed that climate change has “become a climate crisis” and necessitates urgent action to combat it.\n\n“There is little time left to avoid setting the world on a dangerous, potentially catastrophic, climate trajectory. Responding to the climate crisis will require both significant short-term global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and net-zero global emissions by mid-century or before,” he wrote.\n\nMore recently, Biden said he wants to end tax breaks for oil companies, even as gas prices remain above $3 a gallon in most of the United States.\n\nA federal judge in Louisiana last month blocked the suspension of the sales, ruling in favor of 13 states led by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican.\n\nThe Biden administration failed to adequately explain why it was canceling sales, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump nominee, said in his ruling.\n\n“The omission of any rational explanation in canceling the lease sales, and in enacting the Pause, results in this Court ruling that Plaintiff States also have a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of this claim,” he wrote."

"Town of Widows, a documentary on the fight for recognition of occupational diseases suffered by workers exposed to Peterborough’s General Electric plant’s “lethal legacy”, will be broadcast this coming Thursday (August 8) at 9 p.m. on CBC Docs POV. Co-produced by Natasha Luckhardt and the CBC, the 45-minute program follows widows and former workers over the course of three years. Seeking justice from a workers’ compensation system they say is stacked against them, the documentary “sees unassuming citizens transformed into activists.”",

"While a cluster of cancer diagnoses among former GE workers was first noted in the 1990s, many have had their claims denied by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB). While the Board points to 80% of over 2,400 GE Peterborough claims allowed since 1993, occupational health researcher Bob DeMatteo notes just 27% of cancer-related claims were accepted. Co-author of the May 2017 report documenting the complex mix of 3,000 toxic chemicals – a ‘toxic soup’ – used in GE plants between 1945 and 2000, his study challenged findings of GE’s 2002 mortality study and added to scientific evidence linking cancers to asbestos and other chemical exposure in the workplace.\n\nIn September of 2017 the WSIB announced a review of past rejected GE Peterborough claims that would use updated scientific research. On August 3, 2018 the Board concluded its reconsideration of 233 claims, approving 71, a number advocates say is far too low and calls out for a public inquiry. As Town of Widows shows, workers and their survivors will continue to fight for justice.\n\nHow else to watch the documentary: CBC Docs POV are rebroadcast the following Sunday at 6 p.m. on CBC Newsworld; available anytime on CBC Docs Youtube channel\nor CBC Gem.\nFollow on twitter @townofwidows, Facebook https://www.facebook.com/townofwidows\n\n* A second occupational disease claim review, that of more than 300 claims from former workers in Kitchener’s rubber industry, is still ongoing although a July 16 Waterloo Region Record article reports the hope sparked by the review is dissolving into frustration. For many claimants or survivors, decisions upholding the original denial appear to support occupational disease experts arguments that “so-called ‘lifestyle’ factors such as smoking are too often used to dismiss illness claims.” For updates on the review and assistance filing a claim, see OHCOW and USW/SOAR’s Ontario Rubber Workers Project.\n\nMigrant workers with COVID-19 must not be allowed to work, health experts say — as infected worker count surpasses 1,000 | The Star https://www.thestar.com/business/2020/07/07/health-experts-urge-concerted-government-action-to-tackle-migrant-worker-outbreaks.html\n\nStay connected – get our blog updates"

"A YEAR WITHOUT RENT: DAY FOUR OF \"FAT KID RULES THE WORLD\"\n\nIn the world of micro budget indie film, the term “G&E Department” is a bit misleading. The only time you can make a distinction between G & E is when the two people in the department have names like Gary and Ethan. The Grips work Electric and vice versa. Hell, a lot of people (myself included) will just say “Grips” as a catch-all for everyone in G&E. It’s easier that way, especially when there’s only 3 people total in the whole department and one of them is probably in the camera department anyway (or sound).\n\nToday I’m with Electric, which is not only separate from Grip, but even has a separate channel on the walkie, under the tutelage of Kevin Cook. Kevin, like so many of the people I meet these days, ended up here via a circuitous route. Initially an actor, he got on his first film set and was fascinated by the crew–all the wires and cables and lights and everything that makes a film run–and decided that he wanted to learn how to do that. And so, he started learning everything he could. One foot in behind the camera. One in front of it. He’ll be on shoots where on Monday he’ll be a day player and on Tuesday he’ll be stringing cables.\n\nI don’t know if that says more about the state of independent film or the state of the economy. Probably a little bit of both.",
null,
"Much like Dan the other day, Kevin shows me the ropes, taking me through each thing as we do it–stuff like the proper and most efficient way to set up a Kino bank so that it’s a versatile as possible when actually in use. At every opportunity, we take time to keep things organized, simple things like separating the stingers into piles of 25 feet verses 50 feet, keeping the gels from erupting all over the hallway, stuff like that. It’s simple stuff, the sort of thing that isn’t all that much fun in and of itself, but it’s easy to see the mentality behind it.",
null,
"A successful production relies on a lot of things, but the key problem is trying to get X number of pages done in a certain day. It’s a simple concept, but every minute that the camera isn’t running, whether it’s because the actors have wandered off or a P.A. is busy flirting or the crew is trying to set up lights, is a minute that goes against that goal. The extra 30 seconds it takes to find a long enough stinger doesn’t seem like a lot, but all that adds up. It’s why crews are reluctant to break down a light unless they have to and why having a clear idea of what the day is going to entail gives a production a better chance to make the day. There’s always downtime. Your crew can either spend that downtime drinking coffee or they can spend it getting ready for the next thing you need. A good crew member like Dan or Kevin will do both. Having those gels organized doesn’t seem like a lot until you can’t find that f*****g gel when you need it.",
null,
"In a perfect world, you’d never have to wait for the crew to turn around the lighting for the next scene because it’d already be done. That’s not an option in a location as small as this one, there just isn’t the room to maneuver, but that makes Kevin’s prep work all the more important.",
null,
"It kind of reminds me of when I used to work kitchen prep at a diner. It was one thing to prep the food when the cooks asked for it. That was the bare minimum of the job. What really made you good was knowing what the cooks needed before they did, kind of like Radar in M*A*S*H.",
null,
"When we can get in the room cleanly, Kevin works in tandem with grip Mike Astle to reconfigure whatever can be reconfigured as the reality of what we’re doing (and have done) changes. That involves a lot of knowing where we can store a light nearby, what lines of power we have available to us, and how to best maximize them.\n\nIf done properly, it’s one of those things the director will never notice.\n\nAnd I think we’re doing ok. As the scenes move from the bedroom to the living room, everything moves with it. We re-wire lights and move stuff in and out of the location as possible. It’s a long, hectic day in the beehive of the set. I barely have time to take any photos."

"Since 1997 American Expedition Vehicles has been producing aftermarket parts and accessories for serious off-road driving. And since last year Chevy has been making a go anywhere version of the Colorado known as the ZR2. So the marriage was a no-brainer. The result: the 2019 Bison – a Colorado ZR2 with even more capability afforded by the integration of several key AEV components. For maximum protection while driving over rocky, jagged terrain, Bison features five skid plates covering the engine oil pan, fuel tank, transfer case and front and rear locking differentials. Designed by AEV, these skid plates are constructed of hot-stamped Boron steel.",

"Its funny how nostalgia seems to pique my interest every lazy summer….but the icing on the cake could be an easy interesting read too!\n\nThis coffee-table book is a few months old. Yet I decided to talk about it right now for it encapsulates congruently the spirit of travel in early 20th century, when staying in touch with family and friends through the written word took eons in comparison to the present. Those rail and road journeys have been documented with the help of postcards, key travel notes and stories from 1890 till 1947, the height of British Empire.\n\nAs mentioned, the author duo had started collecting visual history relics of India since mid-1990s with antiquarian maps and prints. On relocating to Central Europe in 2003, they found deltiologists and philatelists, in plenty. During one such quests for old Indian prints in vintage bookshops and weekend hobby club gatherings they chanced upon a treasure trove of early Indian photographs with ‘Gruss aus Indien’ (Greetings from India) printed on them. These expensive prints were imported from Germany, Austria, Italy for the Europeans who’d post them back home as memoirs of their exotic travels to the Indian subcontinent.\n\nThe hardcover’s preface touches on the ‘History of Paper’, while also shedding some light on early cartography, our first topographic visual references. In the introduction the ‘History of Postcards’ is highlighted, namely its ‘Golden Era’ (1890-1918). It elaborates the impact of the pictureless ‘Correspondence Cards’, when introduced by Dr. Emanuel Hermann, world over. Like the internet, this medium too was a rage until the end of World War I in 1918. But in India, the very same people opted for ‘Picture Postcard’. Their visuals were poetically captured by British East India Company’s landscape artists and photographers.",

"“These picture postcards have opened doors to an alternative history of India. By 15th – 16th centuries, with Germany mass producing paper prints, the ‘Route to India’ maps, the picture of an Indian elephant and a one-horned rhinoceros emerged as some of the most popular early visual prints in Europe.\n\n…..In the 18th & 19th centuries the company artists sketched and painted India’s scenic beauty. Their works’ popularity pushed the emergence of new picture printing techniques towards mass production with the innovation of lithography.\n\nBut the invention of camera, photographers replaced the landscape artists. The picture postcard started recording everything from 1910 onwards, not just the picturesque. They took up ethnographic studies of local population, capturing their everyday life, their religion and mythology, famous personalities, cataloging Indian antiquities. These photographers traveled with British Army, photographing the wars, the cantonment life with its club and sports facilities. They reported news, were involved in land surveys and photographed the development of the railway network and other new technology or infrastructure and urban planning efforts undertaken in the large cities. Postcards featured the newly built town halls, high courts, universities, clubs, boulevards and gardens. Images of old modes of transport were one of the favorite subjects on entire picture postcards in India.\n\nThe colonial perspective comes out most clearly in the ethnographic subjects of the picture postcards which documented, at times mockingly, the “types of native people” of india and their “jobs or occupations”. Today these postcards are an important reminder of India’s past not mere nostalgia of a time gone by.”\n\nBeing a detailed travelogue, the book maps towns and large states of India and Pakistan in six different chapters as they were in the yesteryears; leaving to your imagination of ‘What would it be like to travel across India 100 years ago?’\n\nFrom Sangeeta and Ratnesh’s priceless collection of 4500 postcards, 550 can be viewed in the book. But, despite the innumerable historical monuments and picturesque countrysides, I missed the characteristic Indian ethnic groups, portraits of the wealthy (Parsis and Gujratis of Bombay and Marwaris of Calcutta) on personalized ones and popular advertisements portraying the socio-cultural environment of those times.\n\nYet a history and photography enthusiast would enjoy the end too. It is a well-researched list of 90 odd postcard, photography and publishing studios – summarizing the early printers and publishers.\n\nAnd since I read the book with my grandmother, who was barely 18 and just married in Lahore when the independence riots broke out; I realized the authors primarily in sepia and black & white managed to evoke a time warp through a novel print medium. Having sunk my teeth this far, I’m now looking forward to reading – Paper Jewels by Omar Khan a Pakistani -Austrian, on the same subject.\n\nBuy it on Amazon"

"The Philippine Veterans Affairs Office submitted the design of the stamps to promote, preserve, and memorialize the principles, ideas, and deeds of war veterans.\n\nThe stamps also aim to enhance patriotism and love of country, especially among the youth, according to a news release.\n\nThe layout of the stamps was further improved by PHLPost in-house graphic artist Ryman Dominic Albuladora.\n\n“It is our hope that we continue to ignite our sense of nationalism and cultivate unity in the country as we face the challenges of the future” Postmaster General Norman Fulgencio said.\n\nFilipino and American forces defended Bataan from the invasion of the Imperial Japanese Army starting on Jan. 7, 1942 until they surrendered on April 9 (Fall of Bataan) and eventually led to the Bataan Death March.\n\nNational shrines have been erected to memorialize the bravery of the Filipino and American forces, like the Dambana ng Kagitingan or the Shrine of Valor at Mt.

"For a phrase that gets thrown round constantly, “enterprise casual” is without doubt one of the hardest-to-outline sartorial selections out there. If in case you have a tattoo, attempt your best to cowl it up. That doesn’t mean to put on long sleeved shirts each single day to cover up a tiny image on your forearm. So, a jeans and high is what I largely wear these days. Should you’re carrying informal items similar to a T-shirt and trainers, they should be pristine and never worn, stained or something you slob around in at residence.\n\nWhereas when you’re carrying a bomber, T-shirt and trainers – tailor-made trousers can forestall you looking too informal. So long as your clothing is tasteful and falls throughout the bounds of professionalism, enterprise casual attire is skilled, attractive, and versatile.\n\nFor everyone: Avoid denims till you’re certain when they are acceptable…which can vary from Fridays-only to never. When you’re getting dressed for work, take into accout that the garments you might put on to the beach, to yoga class, or to run errands aren’t usually acceptable within the business informal workplace.\n\nAs long as you could have the essential pieces of clothing, it is easy to decorate them up a bit or tone them down based mostly on where you’re employed or your kind of business. If there may be one thing drastically totally different between a pupil job and a grad job, it’s the costume code.\n\nKeep away from tight or saggy clothing; business informal is traditional reasonably than trendy. There are many ways so as to add informal chic to your business apparel, but always err on the “enterprise” facet of casual. Nevertheless, 4 in 10 workers (41 percent) also admitted that they’re at the very least generally unsure about whether a chunk of clothes is office-acceptable."

"CA: Berkeleyside -“Move to decriminalize LSD in Berkeley under discussion”\n\nA project to decriminalize natural psychedelics that lingered for three years in the Berkeley City Council will come back to life in a few weeks. But unlike other jurisdictions that have taken steps to chip away at the national and state ban on psychedelics, Berkeley is about to consider an even broader proposal: one that could make it the first in the U.S. to decriminalize LSD.\n\nOf the 15 U.S. cities that have softened restrictions on psychedelics, none has included this synthetic hallucinogen. Berkeley Community Health Commissioners Joseph Holcomb Adams and Karma Smart explained that the logic for decriminalizing LSD is that it meets the technical definition of psychedelics. And in their view, said Smart, “nobody deserves to go to jail for having a psychedelic experience.”\n\nBerkeley’s resolution was initially drafted by the Oakland-based nonprofit Decriminalize Nature in 2019, and proposed decriminalizing only natural psychedelics, such as psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, and mescaline cacti. The resolution spent two years in the hands of the city’s Community Health Commission (CHC), one of 22 civil commissions advising the City Council. Over the last year, Adams and Smart, the two commissioners appointed to study it, entirely rewrote it. If approved by the City Council, the personal consumption of psychedelics will cease to be criminalized in Berkeley; sharing, giving, or distributing psychedelics will, however, continue to be crimes.\n\nBecause of these changes, Decriminalize Nature now opposes the project and expects that, if the project reaches the City Council, the original version will be discussed. This will be known on Tuesday when the CHC decides on whether or not to refer the resolution to the City Council for a final vote.\n\nMove to decriminalize LSD in Berkeley under discussion",

"The meaning of life is going to the park to feed the ducks, with the intention of only throwing fish food at the animals you like. A rare opportunity in an indifferent world to exercise swift and simple justice. A shitty ugly goose expelling undignified turds in the pond without remorse then trampling the ducks and the turtles to snatch away the food you meant for them? You’re on your own. The albino duck who is always floating around alone and seems really chill and has never been violent towards the other ducks and you’re plagued by the thought that maybe the other birds don’t want to be friends with him/her because he/she looks different and you know animals have some concept of difference because of evolution but you don’t know if it extends to a seemingly superficial difference like duck albinism and you keep forgetting to Google it? That duck gets all the food. I cannot throw an empty can into the recycling bin but when it comes to throwing fish pellets at deserving sea birds I become Nolan Ryan.\n\nSo justice is being dispensed. I can pause life and death as I pump quarters into the fish food machine and tell God himself to fuck off as I attempt to tell these ducks in the language we all speak that I see their actions and their worth and however life may have tipped the scales out of their favor I will correct it. I can correct it.\n\nAnd then a huge vulture-like black bird swoops down from above. Heft in combination with precision always awakens some sort of core fear, like seeing an footage of an F-22. There is also something uniquely terrifying about a creature that clearly possesses grace but elects not to use it, ending a swift and silent flight with what can only be described as a plonk five feet in front of you. Honey badger don’t give a fuck.\n\nSo in awe and terror you begin frantically hurling all your fish food at this bird, just flinging handfuls at its head in homage. The bird just stares straight ahead, fish nuggets bouncing off its body. Stupidly you think, “oh my God, it doesn’t know it’s food! Eat the fish bird! Come on birdy!” And then you realize: This bird has feasted on the flesh of the living. It has no time for pellets, it hasn’t had the instinct bred out of it. I’m tossing a couple quarters worth of methadone at this feathery sea raptor and it’s been shooting heroin in its eyeballs. So I watch as it stands silently, stoically, like it was guarding the tomb of the unarmed soldier, until it dove under the water and started swimming. It was like watching someone drive a Ferrari into a lake and instead of sinking it Go Go Gadgets into an amphibious vehicle. The bird popped back out with a whole wriggling fish in it’s jaws and presented it to the horrified people of the boardwalk, then he leaned back and sucked that fucker down like it was oyster and flew away eclipsing the setting sun."

"How One Teacher is Working Her Magic to Help Struggling Students Reclaim Their Education, Part 1 of 2\n\nThings are moving fast these days in this magical universe. It’s been raining pink glitter ever since I published my first blog post. I’ve been moving quickly from dream to idea to plan to action. Recently, I turned my attention to at-risk students on my roster.\n\nA problem that has always perplexed me (and many of my colleagues) is when students fall through the cracks year after year. The names change, but the basic M.O. is the same: lacks foundational skills, a rap sheet of petty trouble, attends school just long enough to be suspended again, generally disengaged … but bright. That’s what continually stumps me; they are always so incredibly intelligent!\n\nMy heart breaks for them. Each year, I wonder what happened that led them to squander their education so carelessly. How is it that these students struggle year after year, and we haven’t figured out what they need to become successful? Why are these kids being forced to conform to a system that isn’t working for them? Doesn’t their repeated failure indicate that it’s time to take a different approach?\n\nLike any great educator, I spend a lot of time refining my craft. I review the needs of my students and adjust my approach to maximize learning. Responding to the needs of a variety of learners every day keeps one on one’s toes. Lesson by lesson, I’m upping my game for a new savvy set of scholars.\n\nI know all the arguments about how much home life and society contribute to a student’s academic success. I get it. Bottom line is, I have to figure out how to address these shortcomings that exist outside of school because they present themselves in my classroom. I’m over the blame game; I’m in teacher mode! However, solving this problem is easier said than done …\n\nLham (pictured above) came to me well after the school year started. He had transferred from another school in the area. He was charming, respectful, and brandishing transfer grades that make those who hold education dear cringe. From day one, I knew he was a student who was struggling to thrive in this system. I’m pretty certain he’s a genius, yet he landed in my literacy intervention class.\n\nHe would come to class extremely tardy or, more likely, would skip class altogether. He was underprepared; besides lacking a pencil, he was perpetually catching up from being gone. I could see the frustration on his face. He was paying the price for his poor choices. Fair is fair, right?\n\nWait. I am the teacher who makes magic. I support kids; I don’t crush them. Most importantly, he is 14 years old. Before he met me, when he was even younger, other people tried to teach him the same lessons about choices and consequences. They failed. If the adults haven’t learned to approach the problem differently, how can I expect Lham, who has decades less life experience and maturity than I, to learn through the same ineffective disciplines used in the past? We were all missing the mark.\n\nImportantly, I had forgotten part of my teaching philosophy: discipline should decrease the likelihood of the behavior reoccurring while empowering the person to make better decisions in the future. Blindly issuing stock consequences simply as a reaction to an offense is punishment. Since when did teachers become punitive, soul-crushing educational wardens?",
null,
"I was punishing Lham and others like him for trying, in their own way, to improve. They tried to take their medicine and found it too painful. Rather than help them find ways to face the challenge, I kept offering and allowing more doses to stack up in front of them, untouched. That doesn’t sound very compassionate at all when viewed through a different metaphor. How was I really helping Lham, his learning buddy, Matthias (pictured together here), and others like them?\n\nHe was not about to become the poster boy for at-risk kids lost in the system. Not on my watch.\n\nI did a drag net of my roster. I made a list of students like Lham. I clicked on their record in our database to check grades in other classes and e-mailed teachers about any possible behavioral concerns.\n\nIt was just as I suspected.\n\nThese students were often suspended or just plain absent. They weren’t prepared for class. They lacked skills. They were good kids, but no one knew how to light that spark. I also noted they weren’t connected to anything positive in our school—not a club, sport, teacher mentor, good student friend, or activity. They came to school and felt the burn of being lost in a lesson. Teachers and students met them with frustration for a variety of reasons. No doubt, school was a very hard place for these students to be. Yet at some point, they kept coming back. I am big on starting with whatever positive I can grasp—that’s where the magic starts—and making more from there.\n\nI decided I was going to make these students their own support system by way of intentional connections. I put Lham’s name and every kid on my roster like him on a list. It was time for them to rise up and behave like the ladies and gentlemen they are.\n\nI spoke with Lham’s other teachers. They knew the same thing: Lham was sharp, but he was floundering. I started to seek Lham out. I said “hi” to him in the hallway. I fussed over him when he came to class. I provided pencils. I told him I understood how confused he was because he’d been gone. I let him know I wanted him to keep trying.\n\nOne day after Lham arrived 30 or so minutes late to class (a typical occurrence, usually sans a good explanation), I had a serious long talk with him in the hallway. In no uncertain terms I told him how much I personally care about him and his education. I told him about the potential I and others see in him. I pointedly listed off the many ways he is failing to make good decisions. Then, I told him that I was pulling out all the stops to shore him up until he could support himself because he was too important to this world to let slip.\n\nI told him I had been thinking a lot about him, and the incredible gift of a mind he was wasting.\n\n“Do you love your parents?” I asked Lham. He looked confused. I repeated the question.\n\n“Of course!” he responded, dazed.\n\n“Do you want to be in a position to help them if they needed you?” I questioned. He nodded his head as if it were a no-brainer.\n\nUnnerved and irritated by the genius that stood before me wasting, I asked, “Are you seriously ready to do better? I mean, like, make changes. And think about this carefully before you answer, because I don’t tolerate liars.”\n\nHe slowly but earnestly said yes. I extended my hand and shook his. I told him that he was going to turn this around. It wouldn’t be easy, but he could do it. I would help him.\n\n“You will slip, but you must always remember to get up, accept responsibility, and continue to move forward. Do you understand?” I asked Lham with a smile. The serious air was changing to one of hope.\n\nHe paused before responding, then looked up at me as the epiphany registered on his face and said, “You do!”\n\nThe very next period, I passed Lham at the tardy station getting a late ticket into class. I read him the riot act and let him know that I was extremely disappointed. He had to do better. In fact, to be in my group and get on the right track, he’d need to do a heck of a lot better, and that was the last tardy.\n\nI received a report from Lham’s teacher that period indicating that he looked a little shaken and solemn. I was neither surprised nor apologetic; Lham had to do better.\n\nHis education, the foundation for the big life he will lead, depended on his ability to honor his commitments to himself and others.\n\nThe next day, first thing in the",

"morning, I saw him at school—on time. I lit up when I saw him, and he flashed a brilliant smile back. I told him I expected him to make it on time to his first class and to my second period on time. He gave me the thumbs up. That day, for the first time since he first arrived at our school, he made it to all of his classes on time.\n\nLham was able to salvage his grades in many of his classes through communication and the cooperative effort of his teachers. He is looking forward to joining the basketball team on a probationary basis. Last week, I had the privilege of introducing to Lham and my other students the driving force behind LANGUAGE! Live, the literacy intervention our school is using. Meeting Dr. Louisa Moats and having her observe my class was not unlike meeting one of your favorite rock stars and being asked to sing their No. 1 hit tune for them in your PJs. I can't even begin to describe the incredible magic shared between us (pictured here).\n\nBecause of Lham, my school now has two groups to better support at-risk students. Learn more about them next week in Part 2 of this blog. Thanks for helping make magic happen for every student who needs it!\n\nTo watch videos of the success stories Antavia's school is having with the blended literacy intervention LANGUAGE!

"Cody Rhodes had nothing but nice things to say as he acknowledged AEW in an interview, appearance on the WWE’s The Bump today.\n\n“I really don’t know how else to put it other than it was just it really was time. I loved what I had been doing. I am so proud of it. I know people aren’t living under a rock. I have come from another company that I loved everything about, everything, but I needed to move forward,” he said explaining they he left AEW behind and returned to the WWE.\n\nCody even referenced AEW commentator Tony Schiavone in discussing his entrance at WrestleMania over the weekend.\n\n“I was in a bit of what I would call a trance. My friend Tony Schiavone, he actually mentioned this to me, he said he said I looked like I was in a trance until I got about midway down and realized what was happening and where I was. It really was the case because this wasn’t part of the plan. That’s beautiful way life is but it was it was such a big heavy moment for me,” he said.\n\nCody also explained how special the moment was for him and his wife Brandi as the show rolled footage of Cody embracing her before stepping through the curtain on Saturday night.\n\n“We felt we did everything right in leaving AEW and coming here. We set our house up there and again we are so proud of it but for the past 40-something days we’ve been quiet and everyone’s had these theories and talk. I just wanted this to be a positive moment, no strings attached to that positive moment and we got to experience that together. I know whatever her next big step is I want to be there for her like she was there for me because I couldn’t have done it without her. She is very much my Cinderella story,” he said of her.\n\nCody was genuinely shocked at the reaction he received from the WrestleMania crowd. He thought fans would be divided with some welcoming him back and others not.\n\n“I am also an outsider. I broke the throne, I helped create an alternative promotion. I caused an incredible amount of disturbance in this world and it wasn’t a negative return. It was positive!” he said.\n\nAs far as the current WWE talent, Rhodes had this to say about Roman Reigns.\n\n“He is an intimidating presence. There’s a match out there, right? That is likely the match that exists out there but before the match you’ve got to cross paths in some capacity and we haven’t yet. I look forward to that because consistent? Did it. I have pulled the wagon and I am still pulling the wagon. I do, to a degree, know what that feels like, to a degree. I look forward to that interaction,” he said with a smile."

"All those who care, watch/listen to this 8 minute message from Dr. Emily Landon, a medical professional on infectious diseases from Illinois. (https://youtu.be/JIA41ZBbCfk). She delivered a simple message as a mother and daughter too. It has gained huge traction and gone viral, as it deserves to. She spoke with passion and her powerful exposition seems to have touched the hearts and more importantly, the minds of her brothers and sisters, across America and the world. She spoke at the invitation of the Illinois State Governor, in the United States, to explain the ‘why’ for the shutdown of the State.\n\nRemember, it is America, the land of the free. Statue of Liberty welcomes one and all, as it is a nation of immigrants. Liberty of the individual shines above all other rights, and that right is never to be trifled with. And the Liberals who always cacophonously remind us of it, saying that societal rights had to yield to the individual’s, as the ordinary American was at the very core of Constitutional values. That is why New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was extremely vary and hesitant to embrace it, until Florida Governor brazened it first. Illinois has followed and other States are due to join.\n\nThe US administration has been most reluctant to talk of ‘total shutdown’, like Italy, France, Germany, France and Spain have been constrained to go for. Boris Johnson in the UK is finding it difficult, as even closure of Pubs and Restaurants were protested against. (It is claimed that this never happened even during the Hitler virus. Why now?). Boris has urged children to refrain from visiting their mothers on Mothers’ Day as a ‘gift’ to them, by not being a possible carrier of the dangerous Corona Virus. In Australia, the Bondi Beach was full of revelers, which compelled the Australian Health Minister to take note and ban it from access.\n\nThe African continent is just starting to feel the impact, and health professionals warn that the spread could be devastatingly fast, in the face of the density of the populace. We need to juxtapose the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the wake of these developments, the world over. Media, be it print, electronic, social is overwhelmed with Covid-19 news, including the inevitable #fakenews. News anchors, after adverting to the coronavirus linked news then say “now to news not related to coronavirus”, which is confined to the last few minutes of any hourly bulletin, over news outlets. 90% plus news is occupied by Covid-19. It is that big.\n\nThe news is not only health related. The obvious, natural and logical impact is on the economies of the world. Donald J Trump had not stopped proclaiming to the world and his own Base, in particular that “Our economy is booming. The tax cuts I promised and delivered has had cascading impacts by putting more in the hands of the investors, and that means that employment rate is now at its lowest historically. The Dow Jones Index has never had it to good and that is what I promised, when I chose to Make America Great Again”. That is until, Covid-19 hit America hard, out of the blue. Now, the threatened impact on the economy is a negative 20% and unemployment rate has already trebled.\n\nInitially, Donald J Trump, with his typical bravado, repeated ad nauseam that “Coronavirus was a hoax. It is perpetrated as a huge influence by the Do Nothing Democrats’ conspiracy”. And his megaphone Fox Television owned by the Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, went to town echoing Trump’s fake lines. They assumed that America was insulated. It was a virus that hit Wuhan and China from the wet meat market selling Bats and Pangolins as delicacies and their own homeland needed nothing to fear at all.\n\nAnd then as Italy was hit hard, Spain followed, France and Germany took notice and even the Scandinavian nations were not left out, and Trump’s follower Boris Johnson, so to say, was also forced to act, the Trump pivot has been on. A Covid19 Task Force with the Vice President Pence was formed and the medical community and scientists who had been shouting from the roof tops, were at long last heard.\n\nAnd now the ‘total shutdown’ across 50 States in the US has become a reality. The Florida Governor admonished his citizens for ‘freaking out to the beaches. Grow up, he said. No one is immune. Even if you do not care for your own well being, have a heart and care for others. Your own parents, grandmas and grandpas. Stop this nonsense and get home quick and stay there until we say it’s ok to get out. Let us do our work to flatten the curve before the Covid19 becomes the Spanish flu or the Black Death or the Bubonic Plague, in impact. Let us not mess with nature.”\n\nThat is the strong and stern message that Dr. Emily Landon sugar coated to communicate to the hearts and minds of every one. Has the message got home” Are the citizens listening? We will know in a while as the virus is spreading its tentacles, all over the place. Trump’s taunt of China at christening it the Chinese virus, may have resonance over his base it certainly has no sway over the virus. The virus knows no nationality or any other borders. It has no religious, caste, creed, sex differences to catch. The economic bite on USA is biting Trump’s booming American economy, as the US Congress is debating a trillion dollar bail out package, including depositing $1200 dollars to the individual families.\n\nThe economic impact this time round is nothing like the 1930 depression or the 2008 sub prime financial crisis. It is far bigger with a humongous drag on the economies, impacting every household, particularly those on the margins, lower middle class and those below the poverty line. Economic theories are going for a toss as the US Fed has reduced the bank rate to Zero- yes Zero. The question now is would they go lower? It is that serious a crisis the world is facing. The British Chancellor Rishi Sunak (son in law of Mr. N R Narayanamurthy) has announced a dole to every family and he has promised more.\n\nWe have a different economy and mindset. We are trained and tutored to save. Unlike the westerners all of us, do not look for the pay packet next week for our very survival. Not all of us. We have stored for the rainy day and it is here. That is a huge comfort and subsidy for Modi administration to tuck into, to take care of the needy and poor ignoring the rest above the poverty line. The Middle class matters and surely now, for this very reason. Let it be told loud and big.\n\nIt is in such a scenario that Narendra Modi came out with his Janatha Curfew. He is a consummate politician. He knows he has the ears of the majority of ordinary Indian population. But, he has to get over the Media and the opposition noise, which has made it their mission to oppose anything Modi 2.0 comes up with. But, Covid-19 is too serious to ignore. Modi went public on air, to seek the co operation of his Priya Bharatiya to practice Janatha Curfew voluntarily. It was no Bandh. No forced shutdown. In Italy and Spain, the Police and Army are enforcing the lockdown. Not in India.\n\nIn Netherlands and Denmark, the Police are imposing fines on citizens who are defying such shutdowns. In India, Narendra Modi knew it would not sell to impose from above. Immediate response would have been to defy and dissent, as it was ‘their democratic right to do so’. Instead, he has appealed to the moral conscience of We The people, which has a cultural connect of being in the DNA, no matter the denial from the naysayers. The result is the Janata Curfew on 22nd March, 2020, on Sunday, which the world networks are talking about as a ‘successful and effective shutdown worthy of emulation elsewhere’. We obliged Modi to heed his call. We may need to continue to, as long as this threat lasts. Would We? But he needs to respond with an economic package to particularly take care of the poor and the vulnerable. Would he?\n\n(Narasimhan Vijayaraghavan-author is practising advocate in the Madras High Court)"

"Two persons have been confirmed killed during an early morning attack on the residence of Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State, his spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, has said.\n\n“The situation now is very bad. Two Yoruba sons have been killed in the house of Chief Sunday Igboho. The two dead bodies have been taken away by the military. We do not know of the location where they were taken to,” the aide said in a Facebook Live.\n\nKoiki, who said the house was attacked around 1am on Thursday, also alleged the identities of the attackers to be soldiers.\n\n“I can confirm that those who came are definitely Nigerian soldiers. There are more than 100 soldiers that came,” Koiki said.\n\nHe added, “The situation is very active as more security operatives in about seven Nigerian Army patrol vans have arrived.”\n\nHowever, the spokesman said, “He (Sunday Igboho) is currently safe.”\n\nIt was gathered that cars and walls of the house were riddled with bullets during the invasion.\n\nSome of the occupants of the house were said to have been whisked away by the invaders who were claimed to have dresses in military camouflage.\n\nThe Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Adewale Osifeso, when contacted, said he also heard about the invasion but he would find out to know what happened.\n\nThe reported attack is coming hours to a planned rally for the secession of ‘Yoruba Nation’ in Lagos State. Igboho has been going across the South-West geopolitical zone to crusade his secessionist campaign, citing injustice meted out to the people of the region as well as worsening insecurity as reasons for his agitation.\n\nThursday attack is one of the many reported attacks on Igboho and his Ibadan residence since January 2021 when he issued a seven-day ultimatum to killer herders in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State.\n\nOn January 26, 2021, some faceless hoodlums reportedly attacked the Soka residence of Igboho also in Ibadan and gutted the house.\n\nRecall that Ygist earlier reported that pandemonium broke out on February 26, 2021 along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when Igboho and his supporters were on their way to meet with 93-year-old Afenifere chieftain, Ayo Adebanjo.\n\nIn a viral video, a shirtless Igboho was seen with his men daring security operatives and throwing expletives at the operatives identified as men of the Department of State Services but the attempt failed and the DSS subsequently denied the attempted arrest.\n\nPresidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, had also said the then Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, ordered the arrest of the rights activist but many Nigerians had condemned such move, insisting that the security agencies should instead summon popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who has been seen hobnobbing with bandits in the forests of Zamfara and Niger States of late."

"One of the most intense live performances I've ever seen was of Sixteen Horsepower in Nighttown in Rotterdam. The devil seems to be permanently on the tail of David Eugene Edwards. Sixteen Horsepower soon after disbanded, to my surprise and Edwards came back under the name Wovenhand. Some more experimental albums followed and I sort of gave up. Last year a friend showed me a dvd recorded in The Netherlands of Wovenhand and recognised all that impressed me so much in 2001 or 02. And now there is Refractury obdurate. I don't even know what the title means. Google translate doesn't help here. I don't care. I'm sucked into this album.\n\nRefractury obdurate is louder than I remember the band. More direct, with lead electric guitars that point the way. What remained is David Eugene Edwards singing through his mouthharp microphone making him sound like a voice from an ancient past. A voice of biblical proportions. Which in a way it is. Biblical references are all over the place. The struggle between earthly pleasures and saintly living is a permanent one in the world of David Eugene Edwards.\n\nWovenhand musically balances on a thin chord between folk, gospel, rock and country. The basic ingredients that distilled rock and roll. It is the rock side that is allowed into the mix more than ever. Despite the fact that electric noise is let in here more than ever, it does not change the tenseness of Wovenhand's music. 'The refrectory' holds this all, including some brilliant sounding chord changes. If anything, I'd say that David Eugene Edwards has listened to some Britpop recently. The way the guitars are played with the joyous solo lines, are unmistakeable. 'Good shepherd' has all that and still there's this tenseness and invoking of the Lord. 'My good shepherd' is sung again and again. I won't go so far that this is a hitsingle, too loud and noisy, but Edwards has never come so close. There is a pop rock element to 'Good shepherd' that is new to him. An extremely earthly element. And it does the music good.\n\nAll this means that the more country and folk side of Wovenhand is pushed backwards. No banjos or bandoneons here. Mostly loud guitars and some organs. The songs are the same though. It is not hard to imagine the traditional instruments in the songs. They're just left out this time round. David Eugene Edwards rocks out and does so in a grand way. Majestic and without subtlety but never denying his sort of music.\n\nRefrectory obdurate is an album to play loud. An album to immerse oneself in. An album to let oneself go into. If you manage to do just that it becomes something very special. Thanks to or despite all the Lord invocations, depending on how you looks at those things. I'm surprised how hard David Eugene Edwards can rock, but on the other hand I'm not. It's just a different guise of his music. It's just as easy to imagine an electric guitar or five to Sixteen Horsepower's songs. The relentless pace of some songs, that is a real surprise. Refracturate obdurate is an impressive, thick wall of an album. There's no way around it. Either you go over or turn back. Refracturate obdurate is the real thing."

"Translator Salim Yusufji has done a commendable job with Alipura, in deftly recreating a vanished way of life and character portrayals — but the tragic absurdity of their situation is lost in translation",
null,
"Set in Bundelkhand, Chaturvedi’s novel Baramasi sparkles with a wit intrinsic to the language and culture it is located in. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)\n\nGyan Chaturvedi is a Hindi writer of dazzling brilliance. His novels are often riotously funny. But they also open up windows to underlying existential tragedies. His first novel, Narak Yatra, was set in the corrupt world of Indian medical colleges, where the exercise of petty power is the raison d’etre of education, more than the healing of the body or enriching of the mind. The novel is like a dark Raag Darbari (Shrilal Shukla’s 1968 novel) of Indian education. There is a particular genre of Hindi literature that is hard to describe. It is not quite satire because it does not mean to mock. But it is not quite idle humour either. It is a form that is acutely realist in its descriptions. But it is laced with comic effect, not because it is making fun of reality, or because it makes light of human suffering. It is comic because characters use language that embraces a kind of absurdity. This is their way of holding onto meaning in a world that otherwise does not make sense.\n\nAlipura, a translation of Chaturvedi’s classic Baramasi (1999), is the story of an impoverished family in Bundelkhand. It begins with the daughter of the family Binno waiting for an appropriate groom to accept her. But the canvas then shifts also to the lives of her four brothers: an older brother who cannot seem to bear the world, another who is waiting to pass an exam that forever eludes him; a third one, who seems to be both too clever by half and heading nowhere and a younger one whose studiousness might just allow him to escape into the middle class. But this is also the world of the sacrificing mother, some colourful relatives, and the town of Alipura as a whole.",
null,
"In all his novels, Chaturvedi is a master of deft characterisation. But he also opens up a window to a whole social milieu. In this case, it is the town of Alipura, at the margins of history, where the passage of time is vicariously marked by Dilip Kumar being replaced by Dharmendra and then Dharmendra being replaced by Amitabh Bachchan on calendars.\n\nIn the translation, the title has been changed to Alipura, suggesting the novel is about a place, with all its texture and thicket of social relationships. This is a place where the ability to wield a lathi is a badge of honour and being a dacoit is an open social role, not a crime. Alipura is precise and evocative in its physical descriptions. It conjures up a whole world by placing telling details in all the right places. It is worth reading just for its recreation of a vanished world. But it is also deft in its portrayal of characters. For all their volubility, each of the siblings has a strange inwardness. Like the town as a whole, they are stuck in the gap between dreams and reality. In some ways, the novel is far more than just about a place. It is more about a condition than a location. This is, perhaps, something that changing the title of the book to Alipura might not quite capture. It is about the passage of time, where time changes, but little else does other than the slipping away of dreams. It is, above all, about lives that are marked by disappointment; the sense of not being\nable to measure up to the norms of success or feeling wanted.",
null,
"Alipura pulls off the interesting feat of suspending the reader between two contradictory dispositions. On the one hand, the social world the characters inhabit appear utterly meaningful to them; yet, there is a tragic absurdity to their situation that does not make sense. This split in the self is captured and managed through the medium of language. It is through language that drips with contemptuous wit that they can achieve a measure of freedom. Just the freedom to say as a character says at one point, “Chhodo raja, kaun saala harami nahin hain”, is an act of clarity that compensates for the sense of helplessness.\n\nBut this poses a problem for translators. So much of the force of Chaturvedi’s novels depends upon the cadence of the language, reading them aloud in Hindi produces an effect that is almost impossible to reproduce in English. Salim Yusufji has done a commendable job. But I must confess that Alipura is the kind of novel that runs up against the limits of translation very quickly. Take a small example. In the book, there is a hilarious moment. Chhuttan and Bibbo are two characters. The Hindi sentence goes, “Chhuttan tatha Bibbo ke beech gobar aa gaya aur sab gudgobar ho gaya.” Part of the effect comes from the play on “gobar” and “gudgobar”. But how do you translate this? Yusufji translates it as “the two piles of excreta should have intervened so forcefully and turned Chhuttan’s chances to shit.” It’s not exactly wrong, but it cannot capture the delicacy, alliterative power or existential irony of the Hindi novel. It is a cliché that all translations are incomplete or imperfect. But it is, perhaps, even truer of novels where the central character is language itself in all its rambunctious glory.\n\nAlipura is worth reading in English for the access it gives to a vanished world and the lives of its characters. But, somehow, the emotional resonance of this sad and comic world feels a little more laboured in Englishthan in Hindi."

"“At least 1 dead and 5 wounded in shooting at California church.”\n\nSuch headlines have dominated the news in 2022, with at least 213 mass shootings already on the books less than five months into the year.\n\nWith each comes complicated questions for journalists: How much should they focus on the perpetrator versus the victims? How, if at all, should they reference the hate-filled tomes that inspired the crime? How can they cover the story without harming loved ones or inspiring copycats?",
null,
"In the wake of the Uvalde, Texas, shooting, taking the lives of 19 school children and two adults in an elementary school, Skewes discusses what trends her research has revealed and what advice she has for journalists.\n\nWhen and how did you get interested in studying this?\n\nI got started on it because of the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. There was a lot of coverage of the shooter, James Holmes, who had dyed his hair orange. Family members were saying, “Don’t talk about the shooter,” and some Denver news stations were trying to honor that.\n\nIn my heart, I wanted to respect that. But then I thought, there's a lot about his story that I want to know: What were the red flags? Why didn’t people, like his therapist, report what they saw? We do need to talk about them to some degree so we can better recognize warning signs and intervene the next time. I wanted to study that tension point.\n\nWhat has changed in the way media outlets cover mass shootings?\n\nThe first one we're looking at is the 1966 “tower shooting” at the University of Texas at Austin—the point when these started ticking up. Back then, there was much more focus on the shooter, and coverage of the victims was limited to name, age and condition in the hospital. That was before the HIPAA privacy laws, so hospitals were still allowed to release that information to the press.\n\nPost-Columbine, we've seen a shift to a greater emphasis on the victims’ stories. And since Ethan Crumbley’s parents were charged with involuntary manslaughter after he fatally shot four classmates at Oxford High School in Detroit, Michigan [in November 2021], more attention is now being paid to the parents.\n\nSome argue that covering the shooter inspires copycats, the contagion effect. Does it?\n\nOne 2015 study says that statistically speaking, when a mass shooting occurs, it increases the probability of another mass shooting by 0.3 new incidents for two weeks after the initial shooting. However, the idea is challenged by other research on the topic, so the answer isn’t clear.\n\nTo me, in the era of social media, it seems almost naïve to attribute this to traditional media outlets. We can clamp down and say to The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and Buffalo News: Let’s not talk about these people. But other perpetrators are often getting their inspiration from social media sites anyway. For instance, Payton Gendron, the Buffalo shooter, is believed to have been radicalized on [the online anonymous bulletin board] 4chan.\n\nHow else has social media changed the way these things are reported?\n\nIt has challenged mainstream media in two ways. In cases like the King Soopers shooting, there was a guy with a cellphone recording and saying, “I’m a journalist.” Well, he's not a journalist, in the sense of being trained and understanding law and ethics and storytelling. He’s just a guy pointing a cell phone at stuff with no decorum or respect for others. That hurts journalism.\n\nThe other place where it gets challenging is that the information is out there anyway, and news organizations are trying to find their balance between noting what's out there and giving the shooter a voice.\n\nHow are they straddling that line?\n\nA lot of news organizations have landed on mentioning writings or videos but not linking to them. I think that’s appropriate. For members of the public who might really want to see them, they can be found. However, typically it’s not as easy as a simple Google search since a lot of social media outlets will remove writings or videos as soon as they are aware of the shooting. So finding them takes a little more work. That’s how it should be.\n\nNPR refuses to use the term manifesto to refer to Gendron’s 180-page document glorifying the white nationalist ‘great replacement.’ What do you think?\n\nThey make a good point. Words do have meaning, and calling the writings of a mass shooter a manifesto could signal that it has more depth or gravitas than calling it a screed, for example. Likewise, perhaps we should stop calling the “great replacement” a theory. It gives it too much credence.\n\nWhat else can journalists do to cover these events sensitively?\n\nMedia organizations need to be careful about when and how they talk about shooters. If you go back to 1966, the Texas tower shooting, for instance, there were lots of stories about how Charles Whitman had been a Boy Scout troop leader and a pianist and things like that. Honestly, I don't really care about what a good guy this person supposedly was early on. Media organizations don’t need to do anything to humanize someone who has just done something so horrendous. What I want to know is: How did they get the weapons? What were the signs somebody around them could or should have caught?\n\nAlso, timing is critical for naming the victims. You don't want the media to be the way someone finds out that their son, daughter or close friend was killed.\n\nDoes the media have a role to play in preventing mass shootings?\n\nThere is a tendency for media outlets to report that something happens and move on to the next headline. What I would love to see is more big national projects looking at this in terms of policy issues. That’s in part what I am doing with my project. Whether it’s gun laws or mental health or better reporting mechanisms or holding parents accountable, let's put it on the table and create a forum for discussing it.\n\nThe media needs to keep a spotlight on this, beyond just, “Here’s another tragic event,” just as politicians need to do more than say, “Our thoughts and prayers are with you.” We can do more.\n\nSeventy-eight years ago on Jan. 27, the Auschwitz concentration camp closed after liberation by the Soviet army. Professor Janet Jacobs, who researches genocide, trauma and collective memory, discusses the ways in which the experiences and trauma of Holocaust survivors are passed down through generations.

In fact, the sheer thought of this raises my ire, as I can only imagine dents in my drywall, and we all know that back hallway is the bane of my drywall finishing, painting, trim-painting existence, so no, no one will be encouraged to throw anything down the hall.\n\n“Toss me that litter!” the commercial mom says, so Sassy said it too.\n“Right, and when you break the window by tossing it, I’ll just laugh and shake my head, because I’m so happy we’re havin all the fun. Cause that happens.”\n\nI think Sassy and I are destined to commit many more commercial parodies.",

"MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Saturday, September 13, that at least 6 volcanic earthquakes were recorded at Taal Volcano in the last 24 hours.\n\nPhivolcs maintains in its latest bulletin that Alert Level 1 is still in effect as a hazardous eruption is not immenent.\n\nThe public is advised against staying near the main crater which is still strictly off-limits due to possible sudden stream explosions and high concentrations of toxic gases.\n\nPhivolcs also said that permanent settlement in the area is strongly not recommended as the entire Volcano Island is a Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ).\n\nMeanwhile, Mayon Volcano remains on Alert Level 2 as magma has likely intruded at depth, and current conditions could lead to a larger eruption.\n\nOne volcanic earthquake and two rock fall events were also recorded in the last 24 hours at the famed volcano known for its perfect cone.\n\nResidents are strongly advised to be vigilant and to stay out of the 6 kilometer-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) as sudden explosions, rock falls, and landslides may occur.\n\nPhivolcs is closely monitoring the situation of the two volcanos and said it would immediately disseminate to the public any development. – Rappler.com"

"SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood has written to the leaders of Stormont parties urging them to back emergency legislation that would empower Ministers to allocate hundreds of millions in unspent resource to address the cost of living crisis.\n\nThe Stormont cash cannot be spent as a result of the collapse of the Executive but the SDLP sponsored legislation aims to amend the law to give a group of Ministers acting together the power to implement a new energy costs scheme to help struggling households.\n\nColum Eastwood has also written to the British and Irish Governments outlining the route to implement the new legislation, which requires the nomination of a Stormont Speaker.\n\nSaid the Foyle MP: “Every month families across our communities are dealt another blow by energy companies announcing a new raft of price hikes and tariff increases that are squeezing people beyond their means.\n\n“We have passed breaking point for many households where parents have accepted that they will have to turn off the radiators to make sure they can put food on the table.\n\n“It is a damning indictment of our politics that while people sit cold, hungry and afraid of what the next set of price hikes will mean for their family, that Stormont is sitting on hundreds of millions in unspent resource that could help people.\n\n“I have already said that the SDLP will form a constructive opposition to the next Stormont administration.\n\n“We will not stand on the sidelines as things go wrong. We will step up and step in to address the huge challenges families here are facing.\n\n“That’s why I have written to the leaders of Stormont’s parties asking them to back our emergency legislation to give Ministers the power to get support to people who need it right now.\n\n“That will mean supporting the nomination of a Speaker at Stormont to get this legislation on the floor of the Assembly.\n\n“Uncomfortable as I accept that will be for the DUP Leader, it’s time to make a choice.\n\n“Jeffrey Donaldson can choose to continue with the politics of protest and boycott, focussed on challenges over which we have no direct control, but we must all be clear that the price of that protest is cold homes, hungry children and parents at their wits end.\n\n“It is a price we would never consent to.\n\n“SDLP MLAs will meet with Stormont’s Bill Clerks this week to advance our proposal to get money into the pockets of families that desperately need it.\n\n“This is a challenge that is breaking people in our communities but the solution is very simple, it just needs political will.”"

It has the thrill of cosino slot or blackjack21, while retaining the skills of Hold'em. It's friendly to both begginer and master Texas players\n- 💰More Chips: 6 people use short deck games, which greatly accelerates the rhythm of the game and improves the excitement of the game.

"Image by raver_mikey via Creative Commons\n\nAlongside economic warnings and forecasts, a suggested increase in hate crime has been the social issue dominating headlines in the fallout from the vote to leave the EU in June. In the fortnight following the vote, the British Transport Police recorded 119 allegations of racist abuse and attacks on trains and at stations, which represented a 57% increase on the number of incidents recorded in the previous two weeks, and an 87% increase on the same period in 2015. Overall, according to figures released by the National Police Chiefs Council, more than 6,000 hate crimes were reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the month from 16 June. This is equivalent to more than 200 per day, and 20% more than the same period last year. In response, the new Home Secretary Amber Rudd has announced a review by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) of how police forces in England and Wales respond to incidences of hate crime.\n\nThe decision to ‘Brexit’ has undoubtedly highlighted divisions in the country that some fear may never be healed. While it obviously cannot be said that only those with the inclination to commit a hate crime voted to leave, there are those who argue that the result has only served to ‘legitimise’ the views of those that do hold xenophobic views.\n\nBritish politicians have been criticised by a UN committee on racial discrimination for their role in fuelling hate crime during and after the referendum campaign. The committee said that it was “deeply concerned” about the “divisive, anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric” employed by some parties, with the media also coming in for criticism of its negative portrayal of minorities, immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. While it’s easy to think of examples of this type of rhetoric from Leave campaigners (e.g. Nigel Farage’s ‘breaking point’ poster that was reported to police for inciting racial hatred), it’s important to consider that prominent Remain figures – including David Cameron, who once described migrants trying to reach Britain as a “swarm” – may also be partially to blame for the situation. The new government’s failure to guarantee the future of EU nationals currently resident in the UK is creating further unease.\n\nOf course, Brexit is not wholly responsible for the increase in hate crimes recorded. Nor are migrants the only group to be victims of crime, although racial hatred accounts for 82% of hate crime recorded by police. This is followed by religiously motivated crime, homophobic incidents, transgender hate crime, and disability hate crime. While misogyny is not currently included in the official definition of hate crime, Nottinghamshire Police recently announced that they would begin to record such acts, including wolf whistling, as hate crimes. The police say this is due to the “unacceptable” experiences of women on a daily basis, and has the aim of helping more victims to have the courage to report incidents. The force also recently treated an attack against a teenager who identifies as a goth as a hate crime, following Greater Manchester Police’s decision to treat these attacks as such in 2013.\n\nUnderreporting of hate crime makes it extremely difficult to gain a picture of the true extent of the problem in the UK. The UK government’s recently published plan for tackling hate crime notes the discrepancy between the numbers of crimes reported to the police and those recorded by the independent Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), which means that hate crimes are significantly underreported. The CSEW estimates that there were 222,000 hate crimes on average each year from 2012/13 to 2014/15, which represents a decrease of 56,000 since the previous period covered by the survey. At the same time, the number of hate crimes recorded by the police increased from 44,471 in 2013/14 to 52,528 in 2014/15, which the government attributes to better practice from the police and victims becoming more confident in coming forward. Nevertheless, the CSEW indicates that victims of hate crime are less satisfied by the response they receive from criminal justice agencies when compared with other forms of crime. Additionally, incidences of online hate crime are not covered by either sets of figures meaning that due to the dominance of social media, neither are likely to be truly indicative of what’s really going on.\n\nMoving on from Brexit\n\nIn recognition of the need to record online hate crime, the Metropolitan Police announced earlier this month that it has received funding from the Mayor of London and the Home Office to set up a specialist team dedicated to identifying online abuse and supporting victims. The two-year pilot has been set up following claims by community groups that the present police response to a problem they view as being of increasing concern has thus far has been inconsistent.\n\nEncouraging responses to hate crime at the community level can in fact be seen across the country. Post Brexit, EU nationals have seen demonstrations of support in the form of safety pins and messages of solidarity both on and offline. It can only be hoped that those criticised for exacerbating tensions within and between communities will start to follow these examples as we continue on in deeply uncertain times."

"This park is in the heart of the SOMA neighborhood. It has a small playground with recent improvements. It also has a sand pit and some unique climbing structures. There are plenty of paths and picnic tables to enjoy and appreciate your surroundings. This park is well-kept and has a ton of beautiful trees and bushes that surround the park.\n\nDogs are welcome too! There is plenty of space for your pup to run around and play fetch!\n\nAfter a nice afternoon at South Park, head over to one of the cafes or restaurants around the perimeter!\n\nSouth Park is owned by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department.",

"The Park is in the middle of a block bordered by 3rd, 4th, Bryant and Brannan, and there are roads (Jack London Alley and South Park Avenue) that lead into the park from each of those streets.\n\n=============================\nSouth Park History\nEstablished: 1852\nIn 1852, a prolific and eccentric Englishman, George Gordon, began buying up lots between Bryant and Brannan and Second and Third Streets, an area described as 'the only level spot free from sand in the city's limits.' The pamphlet that Gordon, a sugar and iron magnate, published in 1854, described his plans. The Prospectus of South Park proposed to 'lay out ornamental grounds and building lots on the plan of the London Squares, Ovals or Crescents, or of St. John's Park or Union Square in New York City, and equally elegant.'\n\nConstruction of the two-story homes began swiftly, accompanied by the development of the oval garden in the center of South Park. It rapidly became an elite address in its early years, until the infamous 'Second Street Cut' in 1869 connected Second Street to the waterfront and made the area accessible to the working poor. With the influx of new neighbors, the park gradually lost its popularity and cachet with the city's wealthy residents.\n\nIn 1897, the city acquired the site and established it as a public park. In its first 45 years, South Park had been locked, and only those local residents who held keys had entrance. By 1906, the locks had come off and it was a working class community, with run-down but comfortable homes surrounding the well-used park. The earthquake and fire in that historic year virtually destroyed the neighborhood.\n\nToday South Park is a revitalized and highly desirable urban neighborhood with giant dot- com companies moving in next door to its architects, designers, shops and restaurants. A $50,000 grant from the Park Renaissance Campaign has financed the Friends of South Park's long sought and much needed improvement plan which included new lighting fixtures around the pathway, a new water fountain, and replacement of picnic tables, benches and trash receptacles --all highly important for the 500 people who flock into the park from surrounding businesses to eat lunch, every day. On Earth Day a volunteer corps from Rec and Park's School Stewardship and Volunteer Department came in and installed two hummingbird gardens, created a new native plant garden, and refurbished the existing one.\n\nPhoto: San Francisco History Center,\nSan Francisco Public Library.\nUpgrading the Park's two run-down playgrounds generates controversy. 'They flunked Rec and Park's guidelines,' says Friends' Louise Bird, explaining that the equipment is antiquated and rusting and that the playground lacked disability access and a fence. She adds that in the park's small residential community there are not many children, and the surrounding businesses have little interest the playgrounds, now used principally by a nearby day care center. And, she notes smilingly, 'sometimes in the evening, by men in coats and ties, who jump into a swing on their way to dinner on the circle.' Friends have secured funding for a standard chain link fence, and they plan to raise money for the additional cost of making it a black, wrought iron one that would harmonize with the new fixtures and furniture. 'Funding and philanthropy' are the answer to the playground problem, Bird believes, and an overall plan is just a drawing board away.\n\nSouth Park Revisited History\nEstablished: 1852\nIn 1852, an aristocratic Englishman, entrepreneur George Gordon, began buying up lots between Bryant and Brannan and Second and Third Streets, on what he described as the only level spot free of sand in the city. There, at the base of fashionable Rincon Hill, he designed and built South Park, San Francisco's first planned community. Modeled on the squares, ovals and crescents in London and New York City, it featured 68 elegant residences of uniform architecture circling a 550 ft. grassy oval park that was ringed by a locked ornamental railing. Only the homeowners had keys. A Dutch windmill in the middle of the park pumped water for residents who paid a monthly fee for maintenance of the property. Streets and sidewalks were the first in the city to be paved, and on sunny days, the park was crowded with white-uniformed maids watching over children at play.\nHome to many of the city's civic leaders, intellectuals, legislators and captains of industry, the area flourished as a wealthy enclave until 1869 when Second Street was built, cutting through the center of Rincon Hill to the waterfront and making the area accessible to the working poor. The wealthy migrated to Nob Hill and working class families moved in to enjoy the park and its sunny weather.\nIn 1897, the city acquired the site, established it as a public park and removed the locks on its gate. In 1906 the earthquake and fire removed the neighborhood.\n\nAfter the fire, South Park was rebuilt into a motley collection of warehouses, machine shops, sleazy hotels and honky-tonks. An influx of immigrants--Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Mexicans, and African-Americans- was joined in the ' 30s by longshoremen. To warm themselves while waiting for calls from the Union Hall, they built a bonfire in the middle of the park. Noxiously, it burned for the next 40 years, furthering the park's decline into a dangerous slum abandoned by city planners. It was fed with construction refuse, neighborhood garbage and junk and the park became a gathering place for drug addicts and the mentally ill. The city provided them with wood so that they wouldn't demolish historic buildings for fuel.\n\nIn the late ' 70s, when the low-rent site began attracting a few intrepid artists and other professionals, South Park began a turnaround. The architects, designers and photographers who moved into live/work spaces formed a South Park Improvement Association, and worked to evolve a European-style neighborhood. By the end of the ' 80s, it had become a mixed-use residential and commercial district with restaurants, businesses and retail shops (including several famous discount outlets for women's wear) on the ground floor, and apartments above. Fast forward to the 'irrational exuberance' of the dot- com explosion. In the mid- ' 90s South Park became 'the cultural hub of San Francisco's trendy interactive media district.' (New York Times). Rents zoomed skyward, new restaurants sprang up, as did their prices, artists and small businesses were edged out.\n\nThe boom came to an end in 2000, and the park's retail and restaurant businesses hit hard times. By 2003, however, the neighborhood seems to be edging back. NPC is holding its second annual gala at the park on October 9th, hoping to attract visitors who may not have visited this unique neighborhood park. 'Vacancy' signs are decreasing and new people are moving in --architects and industrial designers, joining those who, like architect Toby Levy, stayed through boom and bust. In fact, Levy who has lived and worked at South Park since 1984, is expanding her studio and office.\n\nA grant from Rec and Park's Renaissance campaign funded new picnic tables, benches and lighting fixtures that were installed three years ago. Further improvements under Rec and Park's Capital Plan are on its ' 03-' 04 calendar, and at the district park planning meeting this month (September, ed.), the community will discuss priorities and options. Friends of South Park's Louise Bird, a longtime resident, hopes that new residents in the neighboring apartments and high-rise buildings will attend the NPC gala and as the slogan says, 'Rediscover South Park on Thursday October 9th'. 'We want this to be a park for everybody in the community. It's not just for those of us living on the circle,' she declares."

"Having vanished from the international scene three years ago, in the UK the British SuperStock 1000 Championship is experiencing a second youth. Although indicated as a support category for BSB, every so often the Pirelli National SuperStock Championship has a very high level of riders, confirming the excellent state of health of the championship. While in 2020 the number of 30 participants has been largely exceeded, this season will even reach a total of 50 (!!) - 49 to be exact, representing six different manufacturers, totally mind-boggling and somewhat astounding numbers. In addition to the intriguing generational confrontation between British motorcycling talents, the main innovation of 2021 regards the opening up of the doors to 1100cc four-cylinder engines, but with some restrictions.\n\nChanges to the regulations\n\nFour-cylinder 1100cc bikes will now be allowed, albeit they will have to adopt a 'standard' MoTec control unit and without any electronic aids, along the same lines as the top class. In addition, they will be weighed down by four kilograms, with a minimum weight of 178 kg (compared to the 174 kg of 1000cc 4-cylinder bikes) and further limitations in terms of engine rpm. A thoughtful decision aimed at equating performance on the track, and avoiding their possible dominance.\n\nIn this sense, we will finally see the permanent debut of the RSV4 1100cc through the Incompetion/Aprilia Team (long linked to the Noale brand), which will field the former BSB rider Fraser Rogers (recently involved in the Moto2 World Championship on the NTS as a replacement for Barry Baltus) and Ben Luxton, reigning British SuperStock 600 champion. Added to whom are the 'privateers' Ben Broadway (Broadway Racing) and James East (Apto Aprilia).\n\nRouse hunting for an encore\n\nWith the number #1 plate on the fairing of his Ninja ZX-10R, after switching in the winter from Crowe Performance BMW to GR Motosport, Chrissy Rouse will try to defend the title he won last year. Tom Neave is also one of the favourites, confirmed under the banner of Honda Racing UK, 2020 runner-up and eager for revenge after a disappointing finale at Brands Hatch. Watch out for surprises, starting with Lewis Rollo (Royal Air Force Kawasaki and third in 2020), as well as the consolidated pairing of Billy McConnell-Rich Energy OMG Racing who will have the M1000RR, without forgetting Tim Neave (Buildbase Suzuki).\n\nWelcome returns of riders and teams\n\nIn search of new stimuli due to various events, four class riders will find themselves lining up (again ..) in Stock 1000. After a negative period in BSB with SYNETIQ BMW by TAS, due to an injury in the pre-season, Taylor Mackenzie (Bathams BMW Motorrad) returns to the same place where he won the title in 2016 and to the outfit where he raced in 2018, this time aiming to get the best out of the latest model from the Bavarian manufacturer. The same goes for Alex Olsen, who dropped out of BSB and who has physically recovered well following the terrible accident at Silverstone last September, in Faye Ho's newly created FHO Racing BMW team.\n\nFollowing a split from Morello Racing, Keith Farmer managed to find a lifeline in Platform Hire Racing. After acquiring the team of Steve Buckenham, the 2012 and 2018 champion of the category now aims to savour the taste of victory. Having concluded his relationship with DB Race Team prematurely, Luke Mossey will aim for the top in Bournemouth Kawasaki, something already done in part in the 2015-18 British Superbike four-year period before a disastrous crash at Thruxton. Akashi's benchmark team in BSB from 2017 to 2019, as well as 2018 champion thanks to Leon Haslam, last year it abandoned the circus to focus on Road Races. By virtue of the cancellation of most of the races, boss Pete Extance has changed his mind.\n\nThe conditions for an exciting season are all in place, not just in terms of the title. Suffice to say that, at the same time, the large majority of the aforementioned riders will be fighting for a place in 2022 British Superbike. The word now goes to the track, and the first tests on the Silverstone 'National' layout are scheduled for 28 April."

"The BBC’s new adaptation of A Christmas Carol continued in the UK tonight.\n\nThe all-star cast includes Australian actor Guy Pearce (Mary Queen of Scots) as Ebenezer Scrooge, Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings) as the Ghost of Christmas Past, and Stephen Graham (Line of Duty) as Jacob Marley.\n\nHere’s a plot recap for the second episode, which aired at 9pm on Monday 23rd December 2019 on BBC One:\n\nAt the Cratchits, Mary cannot sleep. Bob asks to discuss where the money for Tim’s operation came from after Christmas.\n\nAt Scrooge’s house, the shutters blow open. Scrooge brandishes his poker at the offending snow. He hears the tinkle of a bell behind them. On opening, he finds a small white mouse, which he recognises as Erasmus, his childhood pet. Scrooge is surprised, mistrusting and delighted, but hardening his heart against the spirits, throws the mouse out of the window. Scrooge congratulates himself on the success of rationality, but it is not yet midnight.\n\nAs midnight strikes, he hears singing coming up the stairs. Scrooge reacts with horror at the man’s voice – his father, Franklin Scrooge. The father he buried many years ago. He struggles to lock the door, but his father bursts through anyway.\n\nFranklin talks to Scrooge about how he was bankrupted this afternoon. Scrooge prays for him to go away, while Franklin bitterly talks about how all of humanity are beasts, only looking out for themselves. He turns on Scrooge, and on Erasmus. Scrooge explains how the mouse was a gift, but Scrooge relives Franklin grabbing the mouse and cutting off its head.\n\nThe figure of Franklin transforms into that of the Spirit. Scrooge refuses to beg the Spirit for forgiveness, which triggers the Spirit’s curiosity. The Spirit picks up a nearby hat and spins it. Light comes from the hat, and the walls are filled with Magic Lantern projections of children laughing and singing and dancing. The figures seem to be in the room, suddenly Scrooge is hit by a snowball and finds himself in the middle of a snowy field surrounded by these children playing.\n\nScrooge hides out of the way behind a train of carriages. He decides the sherry he drank earlier had been spiked with laudanum. Scrooge realises he recognises some of these boys from school. A figure nearby confirms this as fact; Scrooge realises that the figure is Ali Baba, Scrooge’s only childhood friend.\n\nAli Baba leads a reluctant Scrooge across the common to Black Bridge Boarding School on camels. Scrooge is faced with his former, abusive headmaster. He tries to attack him but cannot. Inside the dormitory they find young Scrooge reading, dreaming of Ali Baba, overshadowed by the domineering headmaster.\n\nOutside the school, young Lottie & Scrooge’s carriage rides off. Scrooge looks after them. Ali Baba transforms back into the Spirit. Scrooge tries to rationalise how he is now as a cause of what happened to him, a reason, an excuse. The Spirit says they must dig deeper into Scrooge’s soul and with that he transforms into a Miner and he and Scrooge sink into the ground.\n\nScrooge and the Miner are in the Scrooge & Marley Trechloddfa Coal Mine. Men, women, children and ponies are mining in the dark hot pit. Scrooge reaches out to one of the ponies. The Spirit/Miner explains how Scrooge & Marley had cut down the mine’s excessive use of timber to support the roof. They witness the mine collapsing, the flood of coal dust, the fleeing injured and the panic of those trapped there. Another part of the mine collapses, and it goes dark.\n\nThe Spirit lights a match and is transformed into a Businessman. He hauls Scrooge after him, into a working cotton mill, where we witness the start of Scrooge and Marley’s global profiteering. Scrooge and Marley are completing a business exchange for ownership of the mill.\n\nThe Spirit/Businessman is delighted about the pure profit that they are witnessing and takes Scrooge back into what was the mill space but is now filled with looms printing money.\n\nThe Businessman and Scrooge talk about the profits that Scrooge was making, but when Scrooge mentions his life, the Spirit/Businessman takes him aside. They enter a travelling show tent where he transforms back into the Spirit and shows Scrooge visions of the life he would have had with his former love Elizabeth if he had been able to commit to her instead of constantly seeking profit.\n\nThe Spirit leads Scrooge into another memory – when Scrooge committed an evil that was not even for profit. We see Mary Cratchit giving birth, and a concerned Bob outside. We move to Christmas Eve 7 years ago, Scrooge is in his office.\n\nMary arrives, she explains that her son is ill, and they need money for his operation. Scrooge is her last hope. Scrooge agrees to give her the money, on the proviso that she come to his house the next day and do everything that Scrooge asks of her.\n\nWhen does new ‘A Christmas Carol’ mini-series premiere in the US?\n\n‘A Christmas Carol’ recap: What happened in Episode 1?\n\nNew period dramas on Netflix in the UK: What’s added in December 2020?\n\nNew period dramas on Netflix in the US: What’s added in December 2020?\n\nNew period dramas on Amazon Prime Video in the US: What’s added in November 2020?"

"Lingaa is a film that revolves around the construction of a dam, and how one man fights for it.Wikipedia\n\nLike all his films, ‘Lingaa’ is basically three hours of Rajini Saar doing his thing. And it is three hours of full-on `masti’ and ‘mazaa': no half-measures for the man who just has to walk across the screen in slo-mo to send his fans into paroxysms.\n\nLingaa can get tiresome, especially with the too-long fight scenes, but remains constantly watchable because of the miraculously light way in which Rajinikanth continues to wear his megastardom around him...\n\nIf only the editing of 'Lingaa' had been crisper, over 30 minutes of the film could have been tightened. But the movie belongs entirely to Rajinikanth, no one else.\n\nAlthough, Lingaa arguably is one the better films of Rajinikanth in a long time, the actor remains a slave to his trademark mannerisms - which do not allow him to sink into the character.\n\nGiven all the action packed sequences accorded to the actor known for his kicks and punches, one can't complain much for this piece of masala entertainment, at the least Lingaa will go well with the ardent fans of Rajinikanth.\n\n...works only because of the charisma and enigmatic screen presence of the Superstar.\n\nThe film does test your patience at times, but Rajini papers over those moments with his trademark charm, witty dialogues, and not a bit of help from his gang of thieves.\n\nWhatever the reviews and critics say, no Rajini fan is going to miss this film for sure. For the rest, I would say, it is still a pleasant time-pass entertainment.\n\nThe entire film is low on whistle-worthy moments. Given that this is a Rajini film, we expect punch (and punch dialogues) in the scenes but strangely, the film lacks energy.\n\nWatch it if you are a Rajini fan. Even as a masala commercial, Lingaa entertains.\n\nThe audiences may or may not but Rajnikanth surely deserves better. But meanwhile, if you are his fan, Lingaa is a wet dream.\n\n‘Lingaa’ gives Rajinikanth a ticket to entertain his fans and he doesn't let them down.\n\nLingaa is not a good film. Rajni films rarely are. But like so many of them, Lingaa is entirely aware of how silly it is and rejoices in this. That's what makes them so much fun to watch. I for one am planning to watch the film again just for the subtitles. To quote the film, \"Hey Lingaa, let's jinga-ling.\"\n\nDespite these flaws, Lingaa is a must watch. Don’t watch Lingaa because you want a logical film or a screenplay that is award-worthy. Go watch it because you are a Rajinikanth fan and because you love Tamil films. In fact, go watch it even if you are not a Rajini fan or like Tamil cinema. You’ll come out smiling and feeling good. That’s the power of Superstar Rajini.\n\n'Lingaa' is made for the fans and definitely it would entertain Rajininakth fans, for others watch it with low expectations.\n\nLinga is a treat for die hard Rajini fans. However, the film has a very predictable story and we suggest you keep your expectations low. Nevertheless for those who aren’t a fan of the superstar, you would certainly become one, after watching him sparkle in this film."

"Fellow blogger and all around cool guy 4DK (of Die Danger Die Die Kill) pointed out to me this morning that the Roxie Theater in San Francisco is doing a Pre-Code marathon for the next week, including showing some real rarities and a talk by Lyle Talbot’s daughter. Why does no one tell me about these things?! It’s called Hollywood Before the Code: Deeper, Darker, Nastier!! and it looks like it’ll be a blast.\n\nHere’s the film list, in case you needed recommendations or wanted to know what I’m seeing. I live about an hour outside the city (and dear god I hate trying to find parking in San Francisco), so I’m not sure how many of these I’ll actually be able to make, but some are extremely tempting.\n\nFive Star Final (1931) @ 8:00 – I actually just watched this a week or two ago, and have a review of it coming up on Friday. Since you can’t see it yet, this is a fun flick with Edward G. Robinson as a newspaper editor who lets the seedier elements of his profession get away with destroying an innocent girl’s life. It’s a nice angry little film, though I can’t say it’s essential big screen viewing especially since it’s a bit on the long side at ninety minutes. It was also nominated for Best Picture, for what it’s worth.\n\nDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932) @ 3:00 and 8:00 – Now this I’m excited about. I haven’t written a review of it for the site, but it’s easily one of my favorite films of all time. Mamoullian has a blast using the camera to implicate the audience in much of the story, and Frederic March was rarely better. I’m going to try my damnedest to make this one.",

"“Raise your hand if you want me to cut off your hand! … wow, there are a lot of you.”\n\nShanghai Express (1933) @ 3:30 and 7:30 – There are a lot of people who go gaga for the Marlene Dietrich/Josef Von Sternberg Pre-Code films, which include this and The Blue Angel and The Scarlett Empress. Personally, Shanghai is probably the best of the three and is very luscious. I probably won’t make it, but this is a great pick.\n\nWaterloo Bridge (1930) @ 1:45, 5:30 and 9:30 – Of course, the reason I’ll probably skip Shanghai is because I have no interest in the other half of its double feature, Waterloo Bridge. My review from a few months back is here.\n\nTorch Singer (1933) @ 8:00 – Claudette Colbert stars in this one about a mother whose scandalous life as a singer means having to give up her daughter, from what I remember. It’s in the Universal Pre-Code set and I’m going to probably hit that for a review in April. I have work stuff in the evening, so I probably won’t make this. However…\n\nSafe in Hell (1933) @ 6:20 and 9:00 – In what is very much a “Are you kidding me?!” moment, this was definitely in my top ten movies I thought I’d never ever see on the big screen. It’s an absolute favorite, gorgeous and dark in all the right ways. I wish there was an earlier show, but if you’re going to see anything at this Pre-Code fest, I’d go with this. Here’s my glowing review.\n\nVirtue (1932) @ 6:30 and 9:40 – Well, this is the first one they’re showing that I’ve never even heard of, let alone seen. It’s a Carole Lombard movie about a prostitute who falls in love with a cab driver. Since it doesn’t have a DVD release, this may be worth catching.\n\nLady Killer (1933) @ 8:00 – Another one I haven’t heard of, with James Cagney as an usher turned crook turned movie star and Mae Clarke supporting him. Can you imagine? It looks like this is on Warner Archive Instant, so I’ll probably just catch it there, though for anyone closer by, it’s hard to say no to Cagney on the big screen.",

"Night World (1932) @ 6:30 and 9:40 – Now this is worth going out of your way for. Another one not released on DVD, this rarity is the Universal Studios equivalent of Grand Hotel. Boris Karloff, Lew Ayres, Clarence Muse, and Mae Clarke all star, with a really swell musical number by Busby Berkeley popping up in the mix as well. My review; see it!\n\nThe last day has a double feature of Lyle Talbot movies (both unseen by me) and a presentation by his daughter, Margaret, about the man. If you’ve seen Fog Over Frisco (with Bette Davis) or Heat Lightning, you’ll have one up on me. I think I’ll already be dead from all my trips into the city, but for fans of Talbot it’s probably too good to pass up.\n\nHere’s the Roxie’s page on the event, and here’s the theater’s location while we’re at it. I unfortunately have a lot of homework for school coming up the next two weeks, but if I make it to any of these, hopefully I’ll see you there!\n\nI haven’t heard of ‘Black Moon,’ but that poster would be enough to get me into the theater. Has anyone ever talked about the lost art of movie posters?\n\n‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’ stars Bela Lugosi, which should get anyone up and running to see it (it’s also on DVD, in a Bela Lugosi collection). It’s creepy and grim, especially a scene where Bela tortures a prostitute (played by a debuting Arlene Francis). And it’s also short, barely an hour long – all in all, worth catching.\n\nThere are some good sites for movie poster discussion, though most of it is contemporary. There are some fantastic Pre-Code posters; that might make a good post when I have some down time again.\n\nI’m looking forward to Murders; hopefully I can get someone to go with me to see it!\n\nI heard about the Film Forum retrospective, but I’ll admit I had no idea it was still going on; if I’d had a little more foresight, I’d have written a post about it too. So many drool worthy films, I wish I could camp out in New York and see ’em all.\n\nVIRTUE, among other virtues, showcases Mayo Methot in the second female lead. She rocks the screen. I loved what you said about her performance in THE MIND READER.\n\nSweet! I re-checked and I think it’s on DVD somewhere. That just bumped it up in my queue considerably. Thanks for the info!",

"Researchers have found that a type of protein could hold the secret to suppressing the growth of breast cancer tumours.",

"Researchers at the University of Birmingham have found that a type of protein could hold the secret to suppressing the growth of breast cancer tumours.\n\nThe research examined the role Proline-Rich Homeodomain protein (PRH) can play in the progression of breast cancer tumours and could, in turn, help to better determine the prognosis for patients with the disease.\n\nDr Padma Sheela Jayaraman, of the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, said: “PRH is a protein that controls and regulates when genes are switched on or off. However, prior to our research, the role of this protein in breast cancer has been poorly understood.\n\n“Public databases show that, in a large number of breast cancer patients with a poor prognosis, the activity of the PRH gene had decreased.\n\n“However, it was not known whether the amount of PRH protein was also lower in these patients as protein levels had not been recorded.”\n\nThe researchers used a special staining process on breast cancer tissue removed during biopsy to observe the levels and location of PRH proteins in breast cancer cells. They found that in a small study there were changes in PRH proteins in tumour cells compared to normal cells that were consistent with the decreased activity of the PRH gene in the public database.\n\nDr Jayaraman added: “In the laboratory, we found that when PRH protein levels are reduced in a breast tumour the cells are more able to divide, speeding up the progression of the tumour.\n\n“Moreover, we identified some of the genes which are regulated by PRH and specifically contribute to the increased cell division.”\n\nThe researchers also carried out tests in a tumour model of mammary cancers, increasing PRH levels to observe the effect.\n\n“We made the significant finding that high levels of PRH actually blocked the formation of the tumours, therefore our data suggests that PRH can block tumour formation in some breast cancers,” added Dr Jayaraman.\n\n“We propose that monitoring PRH protein levels or activity in patients with breast cancer could be particularly important for assessing their prognosis.\n\n“In addition, since PRH is known to be important in multiple cell types, this work has important implications for other types of cancer.\n\n“We are now working to investigate the importance of PRH in prostate cancer and in cancer of the bile duct, a type of liver cancer.”"

"After spending two days catching up with the International Space Station, an automated Russian cargo freighter rendezvoused and docked with the outpost to supply the Expedition 53 crew with food and supplies.\n\nProgress MS-07 docked with the Pirs module on the Russian Orbital Segment of the space station. Contact came at 7:04 a.m. EDT (11:04 GMT) Oct. 16, 2017. Once hatches between the two spacecraft are open, the crew will begin to transfer the pressurized cargo into the outpost.\n\nOnce the cargo is transferred out, the crew will begin the process of loading the spacecraft with trash and unneeded equipment. The vehicle will remain attached to the outpost for more than six months before being undocked and commanded to enter Earth’s atmosphere for a destructive reentry.\n\nWhile the spacecraft arrived at the outpost within 34 orbits after launching from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, this cargo run was originally supposed to try out a new 2-orbit rendezvous profile to arrive only 3.5 hours after liftoff. However, the first launch attempt of the Soyuz 2.1a carrier rocket, which occurred on Oct. 12, 2107, was scrubbed within the last minute of the countdown due to an undisclosed issue. Additionally, the alignment of the space station on the Oct. 14, 2017, launch was not favorable for a fast-rendezvous technique.\n\nThe Russian space agency’s next potential attempt for this 3.5-hour rendezvous profile will come in February 2018 when its next cargo spacecraft, Progress MS-08, launches from Kazakhstan."

"“I think the word ‘plus-sized’ is so divisive to women,” Graham said.\n\nThis article originally appeared on People.com.\n\nAshley Graham is once again speaking out against the term ‘plus-sized.’\n\nThe model, who made history in 2015 as the first curvy woman in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, says the phrase unnecessarily forces people into categories.\n\nShe goes on to explain the false stereotypes associated with the label.\n\n“‘You don’t eat well. You don’t work out. You couldn’t care less about your body. You’re insecure. You have no confidence.’ And that is none of this,” Graham says, referring to herself.\n\nGraham argued the same point in a TEDxBerkleeValencia talk she gave in 2015.\n\n“The fashion industry may persist to label me as ‘plus-size,’ but I like to think of it as ‘my size,’” she said. “Curvy models are becoming more and more vocal about the isolating nature of the term ‘plus-size.’ We are calling ourselves what we want to be called — women, with shapes that are our own.”\n\nTwo years later, she says the stereotype is losing its power as fashion and media companies embrace a wider range of body types. She points to her second appearance in the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2016 — when she was one of three cover stars — as proof.\n\n“Sports Illustrated decided to have curvy women not only in their magazine but on the cover of their magazine,” Graham tells CBS Sunday Morning. “Now that means size diversity is here, and it’s real, and it’s not a trend.”\n\nBut while modeling made her a household name, Graham doesn’t recommend the career path when others ask her for advice.\n\nKylie Jenner Just Chopped Off All Her Hair (Again!)",

"Bad Boy Chiller crew may have started out as a bit of a joke online but on Friday they provided some serious party vibes as Leeds Festival got under way.\n\nBradford’s notorious bassline collective got a sea of bucket hats bouncing with their infectious energy and hilarious stage presence.\n\nThe rap-dance collective brought their dads/friends onstage for a rave, while downing booze in between spitting bars.\n\nBut they were enjoying themselves for so long organisers pulled the plug.\n\nHaving overrun, the fun-loving outfit had their microphones, decks and music silenced, drawing boos from revellers as they stormed off to make room for a “No Leeds on a Dead Planet” public service video about environmental concerns around the event.\n\nIn recent years, the rap trio, comprised of Gareth “GK” Kelly, Kane Welsh and Sam “Clive” Robinson have have been not so quietly working their way up the bill at their home county festival, rapping over old school dance beats.\n\nThey’ve gone from starting in the BBC Music Introducing tent to one of the main stages, where they looked very at home, leading the crowd in a chorus of “oggy oggy oggy”s.\n\nDressed in their crispest white shirts and big red ties, the local rappers – who recently starred in their own ITV2 docu-series – raced through verses from their recent mixtape and debut album, including 450 and BMW, as well new track When It Rains, It Pours (thankfully it didn’t, as the clouds covered the Yorkshire sun for the first time on Friday).\n\nThey raced through beer, cider and vodka at an (alarmingly) equally rapid rate, as a family friend known affectionately as Kitchen Steve twirled a cane in a head-masterly fashion and Kelly’s dad Hopper, wearing a Burberry outfit, threw out some serious shapes and hip shakes.\n\nOne Twitter user commented: “Omg! Bad Boy Chiller Crew. What is this?! It’s like [Welsh act] Goldie Lookin Chain on speed. There is even a ‘Bez'”.\n\nRobinson even appeared to have had an influence on, or at least reflect, some of the festival-goers’ fashion senses, with mullets adorning the heads of young men at Branham Park, for possibly the first time in decades.\n\nRap music from around the UK regions, not just the capital, has become more prominent on the bill here in recent years. “It’s tongue-in-cheek funny and unashamedly Yorkshire,” wrote the BBC’s Will Chalk about Bad Boy Chiller Crew – who recently launched a fans for foodbanks initiative – in an interview two years ago, when they were just starting their journey to where they are now.\n\nEarlier on Friday, emo rocker Willow Smith, daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith brought the first big singalong of the day as the crowds began to arrive in the searing heat, with one of the songs of last year, her viral hit Meet Me at the Spot.\n\nShe followed it up with a new one of her own, Hover Like a Goddess. “Every woman is a goddess,” she beamed, drawing loud cheers.\n\nBastille did an early set on Friday evening, having just released an extended version of their latest album Give Me the Future.\n\nThey told the BBC that performing at the double header Reading and Leeds Festivals 10 years ago in a smaller tent – and hearing one of their softer songs sung back to them with gusto – was the first time they thought they were really on to something as a band.\n\n“We had to stop because I was it was so blown away, it just was just so overwhelming,” said singer and songwriter Dan Smith.\n\n“That was kind of amazing moment, as particularly as back 10 years ago, Reading and Leeds was much more like rock and heavy music. So as a as a weird little cinematic indie band, and being the massive cynic that I am, I was like, ‘what’s the crowd gonna make of us?’\n\n“So to have that first experience all those years ago was pretty surreal.”\n\nThe Leeds leg of the Bank Holiday weekender was officially opened on Thursday evening by up-and-coming Sunderland indie rocker Tom A Smith, who recently supported Sir Elton John. Afterwards he told the BBC it was “without doubt the best [gig] I’ve ever done”.\n\n“We had mosh pits and people singing my songs back,” said Smith. “It was absolutely insane, what an experience.”\n\nReading and Leeds Festivals take place across two sites and will feature headline performances at each from artists including The 1975, Dave, Arctic Monkeys and Megan Thee Stallion.",

"Jamida, a woman who’s glorifying God with her life\n\nThe Face of Revenge\n\nJamida had a bright future—she was young, beautiful and looked forward to a promising nursing career. The 18-year-old Ugandan was also engaged to be married, but her Islamic parents adamantly refused to let her marry a man who was not a Muslim. Jamida broke the sad news to her fiancé.\n\nThe man did not take the disappointment well. His anger soon kindled a deranged desire for revenge. If he couldn’t have her, then no one would! Knowing the route she walked regularly from nursing class, the jilted lover arranged for someone to secretly approach her and splash strong acid into her face. The vicious attack put Jamida in the hospital to recover from severe burns to her face and scalp—and deal with the emotional scars. How could he have done this?\n\nThat’s what I asked myself as I sat listening to Jamida’s story. How can a person do such a monstrous act against someone they said they loved?\n\nJamida continued, telling me how hopeless she felt—How could I face another tomorrow with my face like this? A look in the mirror was like reliving the attack all over again. That began to change when she joined an acid survivor support group led by Victoria Namusisi, a very dear Heaven’s Family partner. Victoria is an awesome woman of God, and she poured the love of Jesus into Jamida. Gradually, a scarred but beautiful smile began reemerging on her face, and she gave her heart to the Lord.\n\nThrough the love of Victoria and the support group, Jamida no longer feels embarrassed at her appearance, and has even married. Now 30, Jamida is the mother of 5. She also runs a second-hand clothing shop out of her home to earn extra income.\n\nIn addition to her entrepreneurial skills, Jamida volunteers her time comforting other victims of acid attacks, many times during their initial recovery time in the hospital. She’s also become an advocate and spokesperson for other survivors.\n\nI’m so encouraged to learn from this dear woman how she meets her challenges head-on! She has even helped me deal with the disability that has kept me out of the cockpit as an airline pilot. I have often quoted John 9:2-3—”Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life”—a scripture that continues to encourage me in my own disability, as minor as it compared to Jamida’s.",

"Within the framework of the 48th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which begins tomorrow 14 September and continues until 8 October, 50 human rights organizations around the world launched an urgent appeal to UN member states demanding a decisive resolution be adopted during the session to form an independent fact-finding mission or an investigation mechanism, and treat that as a priority.\n\nThe urgent appeal submitted to the United Nations on 9 September considers the formation of this independent mechanism to be a critical component of the broad, necessary and urgent international response to address the escalating human rights and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. It would ensure that member states follow developments on the ground, allowing them to respond to the crisis, help protect the rights and lives of the people of Afghanistan, prevent further crimes, and support activists and human rights defenders, especially women human rights defenders, who continue their work at great risk. The appeal also stressed that this mechanism would be a critical step in addressing the accountability gap that enables grave violations.\n\nWe, the undersigned organisations, write to urge UN Member States to ensure the adoption of a robust resolution to establish a Fact-Finding Mission or similar independent investigative mechanism on Afghanistan as a matter of priority at the upcoming 48th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC).\n\nWe express our profound regret at the failure of the recent HRC special session on Afghanistan to deliver a credible response to the escalating human rights crisis gripping the country. The adopted resolution falls far short of the consistent calls of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Special Procedures and civil society organisations, and does not live up to the mandate of the HRC to effectively address situations of violations of human rights, including gross and systematic violations.\n\nA Fact-Finding Mission, or similar independent investigative mechanism, with a gender-responsive and multi-year mandate and resources to monitor and regularly report on, and to collect evidence of, human rights violations and abuses committed across the country by all parties is a critical component of the broader international response urgently needed to address the escalating human rights and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Such a mechanism is crucial to ensure UN member states are fully informed of the situation on the ground as they take important decisions on how to respond to the crisis, how to help protect the rights and lives of the people of Afghanistan, and how to prevent further crimes. It is crucial to support the brave activists and human rights defenders, particularly women human rights defenders, who have continued their work at significant personal risk and have requested support and solidarity from the international community. It is also crucial as a means of taking one small step to addressing the accountability gap that fuels grave violations and abuses across the country, and to complement and support international and national work on accountability for crimes under international law.\n\nThe urgent need for such a mechanism could not have been made clearer throughout the negotiations, and at the opening of the special session. The AIHRC, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Procedures, the Ambassador of Afghanistan to the United Nations in Geneva, and a broad constellation of national, regional and international civil society organisations, have all made this call clearly and consistently. The High Commissioner for Human Rights stressed that while her Office was ready and willing to update the HRC regularly on the situation, it was critical for the HRC to take “bold and vigorous action, commensurate with the gravity of this crisis, by establishing a dedicated mechanism to closely monitor the evolving human rights situation in Afghanistan, including – in particular – the Taliban’s implementation of its promises, with a focus on prevention.” To ignore these consistent appeals, and sit idly by and wait for further crimes to occur to take meaningful action, is an abdication of responsibility by the HRC. The people of Afghanistan are entitled to much better than this.\n\nAt the special session, UN Special Procedures recalled that the last 18 months “have been the deadliest civilian casualties recorded in Afghanistan in late history” and also reminded the Council of the fifth report of the UN Secretary General on Children and Armed Conflict in Afghanistan (S/2021/662 16 July 2021) documenting “that child casualties for the first half of 2021 constituted the highest number of children killed and maimed for this period ever recorded by the UN in Afghanistan, a situation compounded in the last few weeks.”\n\nAt this crucial moment for the people of Afghanistan, we are convinced that an independent investigative mechanism is the only credible means to address the human rights crisis in the country, advance accountability and deter further abuses. Although some states proposed the creation of a Special Rapporteur as a compromise during the special session, this would not be an adequate or appropriate response to a crisis of this magnitude for a number of reasons, including the lack of resources, limited capacity and correspondingly narrower scope of such a mandate. We note that the special session resolution itself “stresses the need for transparent and prompt investigation into reports of all violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law, committed by all parties to the conflict, and to hold those responsible to account.” Clearly, the only credible way to give effect to this commitment is to create such a “transparent and prompt investigation.”\n\nWe urge all UN Member States, to take urgent action to correct the HRC’s course, by ensuring a robust independent investigative mechanism is put in place when it meets for its 48th regular session in September. As noted by the Chairperson of the AIHRC in her opening address to the HRC, “Afghan activists on the ground, my colleagues on the ground, who face direct threats to their lives and the lives of their families, demand better, while they have everything to lose by putting this ask forward […] Many I speak to in Afghanistan already fear that they may not have a tomorrow. In our worst moment, we call on you to do better.”"

"Many Starbucks employees took a stand this holiday season and said “no” to “Red Cup Day,” going on strike to voice their grievances on November 17th.\n\nBaristas often attempt to call off because Red Cup Day can turn Starbucks into an overwhelming and stressful working environment. As a result, many locations requested better staffing. Over 100 locations went on strike in hopes to have a proper conversation with the company to renegotiate contracts and to protest Starbucks failure to bargain with unionized locations.\n\n“Red Cup Day is notoriously difficult on baristas and notoriously profitable for Starbucks: striking on a day that affects both us and customers more so than an average day is a great way to connect with the community about why unions in the workplace are needed, and how they can help their local unions succeed while keeping businesses running,” Emily Schule, a Starbucks barista in Massachusetts, told The Guardian.\n\nAccording to Starbucks Union leaders, Starbucks has already begun retaliating against these strikes by making last-minute rescheduling requests that make it hard for workers to participate in the strike.\n\nStarbucks denies this and states that they have been offering many locations the opportunity to begin bargaining sessions, stating that the problem is that the Union wants to broadcast their negotiations. The National Labor Law Act, however, states against recording negotiation sessions. The union explains that they want to be able to use Zoom calls so multiple people can be present at the session, something they are allowed to do within the National Labor Law Act.\n\nIn attempts to win over customers and garner their support, unions have offered their own version of the Starbucks red cup. Instead of the Starbucks logo, it’s designed with the union’s logo titled “Starbucks Workers United.”\n\nThe Starbucks company has reportedly been issued 39 complaints by the National Labor Relations Board “encompassing more than 900 unfair labor practice charges,” says The Guardian. As a response to ensure workers rights, about 260 Starbucks locations have unionized in just over a year. December 9th marks the one-year anniversary of the first unionized location in Buffalo, NY.\n\nTo learn more and support the Starbucks Workers United cause, visit their website: https://sbworkersunited.org/#Partners-Becoming-Partners"

"A simple arrangement of objects can have profound significance, as I endeavored to suggest in the previous post. What then of the structure of the picture itself? From a particular angle we are faced with all kinds of mysterious accidental spaces. These interstices are the famous “negative spaces” of art school. Strange appellation, for these are some of the most riveting, jewel-like moments in a work of art — equally they represent the most “signature” elements of an artist’s style, for they are unconscious and very direct expressions of thought. The artist’s act of looking is spread out over time. No one is aware of directing this kind of thought. It isn’t directed. It’s just one’s mind noticing first this and afterwards that.\n\nAnd of course the little spaces between things must be rendered if the objects are going to materialize as a picture. But after that, there is no rule. One could use one large mass of paint to represent a patch of cloth lying between two potatoes. Or one could use three brushstrokes. Or one could use fifteen. Or a hundred. Or even a thousand very tiny, intimate brushstrokes.\n\nThe spaces between things, as well as the pictorial spaces that are things, are the fabric of the image. They are meaning ordered into shapes, lines, tones, colors. They have as much reality as the notes in music. They are utterly abstract. And into them, all meaning is poured."

"In his paper, Young has eloquently put forward a novel account of how and why the phenomenon of thought-insertion (TI) seen in patients with schizophrenia does not contradict the immunity principle (i.e., first-person access to one's own thoughts and psychological states is 'immunity to error through misidentification'). He argues that, in TI, the problem lies not in misidentification but in mispredication: the individual with TI does not ascribe the right predicate to the wrong subject, but has misdetected the predicate in the first place. The author points out that an inconsistently formulated immunity principle could risk confusing the two types of errors. The author defines the immunity principle as:\n\nAny agent who thinks a thought* (the asterisk indicates thoughts obtained by privileged access) of the form 'I am F' cannot be right on the basis of the perspective grounding this thought that something is F but wrong about whether 'I amF.'\n\nGiven this definition, it would indeed be the case that, if one claims they have thoughts that are not theirs, it is the predicate and not the initiator of the thoughts that is susceptible to error. Note that the author stresses 'any formulation of the immunity principle be limited to present-tense self-referential judgments [my emphasis]' (p. 151) ascribing a predicate to the essential indexical 'I', and any over-simplification would only create the illusion that TI breaches the immunity principle.\n\nHowever, perhaps another possibility for this confusion is the inconsistency in defining TI itself. The author of the current paper makes a specific point that, in TI, the patients do not only claim the thoughts are not generated by themselves, but actually belong to another agent. This, of course, would seem implausible (whether considered from the immunity principle or not) if not utterly false even to a lay person; and it is this apparent falseness that defines TI, at least in this instance, as a delusion. Indeed, throughout his paper Young has consistently referred to TI as 'delusions of thought-insertion' and implies that the delusion is primary in nature ('patients seem to require no external evidence, investigation or complex inference in order to arrive at them [the delusions],' p. 156). This conforms with the psychiatric definition of TI as a 'false belief that the subject receives inserted, alien thoughts' (Mullins & Spence, 2003).\n\nArguments about whether all delusions are beliefs aside, this definition could be divided into two components: the false belief and the inserted alien thoughts. Just by this medical definition alone, it is clear that the belief part has been dissociated from the actual inserted thoughts. So, if TI is indeed a delusion, to which of these two components does the delusion apply? It would seem obvious that the [End Page 165] false belief about the inserted thoughts is the delusion. Some may argue that how could thoughts be inserted from the external (and also belong to someone else) in the first place? 'Privileged access' allows one to have direct, taken-for-granted knowledge (a kind of knowledge that does not require external evidence) of one's own thoughts, which are obtained through introspection. Yet, thoughts derived from both introspection and the mere act of thinking are separated from the individual's subjectivity in TI. This separation (some call it the 'separability thesis'; see Gibbs, 2000), I argue, is the experience of having seemingly external thoughts. The individual who has such an experience does not deny the fact that they are the one who has had external thoughts inserted into their mind; the individual simply denies the thoughts themselves are their own. Indeed, this would fit nicely with the author's account about mispredication. However, does this always constitute a delusion?\n\nI have recently proposed (Humpston & Broome, 2015) that the experience of having external thoughts—whose externality is only accessible through the first-person perspective (which is again a paradox)—alone is insufficient for a delusional elaboration to form, and it is the act of ascribing another agent to these thoughts that drives the individual to a delusional endpoint of the phenomenon. I do not...",

"Dolly Parton is a legend in her own right. And her original version, released in 1974, was no slouch—it topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart twice.\n\nBut we’re talking about one of the most epic vocal performances in the history of sound. Houston’s version was recorded for the 1992 film The Bodyguard, and went on to hold the record for the best-selling single by a woman in music history. And unofficially, that key change is one of the most reliably goosebump-inducing music moments to ever exist."

"Activism: alternatives to the Serengeti road\n\nPosted By jlhance on Apr 6, 2011 in Environment, Wildlife",

"Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) in Tanzania. Photo by: Rhett A. Butler.\n\nThe NGO Serengeti Watch has released a petition urging the Tanzanian government to cancel plans to build a road through the northern portion of Serengeti National Park, which scientists say will hugely impact the world’s largest migration of wildlife, and instead take up offers from the German government and the World Bank to fund an alternative route. According to Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete the road across the Serengeti is necessary to alleviate poverty in the region. However, the German government has offered to build communities local roads to provide greater access while safeguarding the Serengeti ecosystem.\n\nAccording to the organization: “The government of Tanzania has approved a major commercial route across the Serengeti National Park, in the direct path of the greatest land migration on earth. Such a highway would destroy the integrity of a priceless World Heritage that has been protected by the people of Tanzania since the birth of their country. The Tanzanian government has a responsibility to work for development and welfare of its people. But in doing so, it does not need to sacrifice its most precious natural area, its income from tourism, or its heritage of conservation.”\n\nFor more information on the proposed road in the Serengeti:\n\n(03/16/2011) Government plans to build a road through Serengeti National Park came up against more opposition this week as the Tanzanian Association of Tour Operators (Tato) came out against the project, reports The Citizen. Tato, described as powerful local lobby group by the Tanzanian media, stated that the road would hurt tourism and urged the government to select a proposed alternative route that would by-pass the park. Tato’s opposition may signal a shift to more local criticism of the road as opposition against the project has come mostly from international environmentalists, scientists, and governments.\n\n(02/23/2011) On March 19th the conservation organization, Serengeti Watch, is planning the world’s first International Serengeti Day to celebrate one of the world’s most treasured wildlife ecosystems. But the day also has another goal: bring attention to a Tanzanian government plan to build a road that would essentially cut the ecosystem, threatening the world’s largest mammal migration. “The proposed road will be a major commercial route that cuts across a narrow stretch of the Park near the border with Kenya. It goes through a wilderness zone critical to the annual migration of 1.3 million wildebeest and 0.7 million zebras, antelope, and other wildlife. This will involve extracting a strip of land from the Park itself, resulting in both the fragmentation of the ecosystem and the removal of the Serengeti National Park from the list of UN World Heritage Sites,” said David Blanton, co-founder of Serengeti Watch, in an interview with mongabay.com.\n\n(02/10/2011) Tanzania’s President, Jakaya Kikwete, today gave promises that his proposed road project, which will bisect the Serengeti plains, would not hurt one of the world’s most famed parks and one of its last great land migrations. “The Serengeti is a jewel of our nation as well as for the international community. […] We will do nothing to hurt the Serengeti and we would like the international community to know this,” Kikwete said in a statement reported by the AFP. However, a government environment impact study, leaked to the conservation organization Serengeti Watch, paints a very different picture of how the road will damage the Serengeti. The report includes warnings that the road will ‘limit’ the migration of the plains’ 1.5 million wildebeest and 500,000 other herbivores including zebra."

"Nageshwar Rao As CBI Chief: Let’s Look At Those Opposing His Appointment The Loudest",
null,
"After the recent tussle between the top two officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), M Nageshwar Rao was appointed as the interim director of India’s premier investigative agency. As soon as he took over, media professionals, politicians, and activists started heaping allegations against him. Strangely, some from the same set of people had also come up with numerous accusations against Alok Verma and Rajesh Asthana, the two officers who have been sent on leave. It has become their mission to oppose any appointment as long as the Narendra Modi government is behind it. Here, I attempt to highlight the disgraceful behaviour of these activists.\n\nThe news of Rao’s appointment invited a sharp reaction from NDTV. The news channel had even questioned Rao on his wife’s assets abroad. The question was about their so-called discovery of the fact that Rao’s wife, Sandhya, owned property worth more than Rs 4 crore in Florida, the United States of America (US). It was said to have been purchased in 2015. A report in the NDTV claimed that Rao had provided false declarations about his assets and asked if people occupying high posts could get away with such a falsehood.\n\nThere is an unwritten rule in the mainstream media. If someone has to be painted black, either accuse him of being corrupt or call him a womaniser. When such an accusation is made, not just the public, but even the media fraternity laps up the news with glee. The media only needs to ask some questions, even if they are absurd. In matters receiving media attention, the accused, especially if he or she is a celebrity, is held guilty without trial. NDTV, too, has banked on this strategy in this case.\n\nI did some investigation into the properties held in Florida. It is true that a person named Sandhya owns a property there. But that lady is 62 years old. Which means that the holder of the property is five years older than Rao and 11 years older than his wife, Sandhya. The names of her husband and relatives in the property document do not match. The documents do not mention any Nageshwar Rao.\n\nForget the property; imagine the plight of the happily married Rao being told by the media that his wife has a different husband in the US. Is there any other news that can fetch more television ratings?\n\nThe crux of the matter is this: There are two ongoing CBI investigations against NDTV. The media company’s founders, Prannoy Roy and his wife Radhika Roy, are also facing investigations by the agency. There have also been raids at their residence. The track record of Rao as a police officer suggests that investigations that come under his radar reach a quick conclusion, with the corrupt receiving ‘fair’ treatment.\n\nNow, let’s move on to the reasons behind the attacks on Rao. If we start investigating the matter, the trail ends in Karnataka. Before his suspicious death, deputy superintendent of police M K Ganapati had named minister K J George and others. That matter was being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Department. After a public outcry, the matter was handed over to the CBI. Due to jurisdiction rules, the investigation came under the aegis of the Chennai wing of the CBI—Rao was posted there at that time. He became the supervising officer for the Ganapati suicide case. The case saw newer twists every other day.\n\nA “Karnataka Congress politician-cum-timber smuggler from Coorg” managed to get Rao transferred from Chennai to Delhi with the help of certain Congress politicians and senior police officers from Puducherry. How can the same cabal now tolerate Rao occupying the highest position of power within the CBI? Wouldn’t the travails of the timber smuggler come out in the open? The Congress party cannot imagine those hands that support many members of legislative assembly during elections in handcuffs.\n\nOne has to get to the source of black money if corruption has to be traced. If the history of those opposing Rao is looked into, the real motives will come out in the open. Because it turns out that either they are facing some CBI probe, or they have had anti-national motives.\n\nThere is an entire team that has been formed to attack Rao. As soon as the war between the top two officers of CBI surfaced, numerous anonymous Twitter accounts started tweeting against Rao, whom they suspected would be appointed as the chief. A Twitter user named “PrabhuAdvitiya” was created right after the Ganapati case was handed over to the CBI, around September 2017. Since then, this account has been tweeting mostly against Nageshwar Rao. This account is followed by a journalist called Savukku Shankar, who was with the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Department before opening a news channel called Savukku. He had even been accused of releasing sensitive documents to the media. After his release from jail, he claimed to be a Right to Information activist.\n\nThese days, he claims to be a journalist. The courts had ordered his channel to be shut after it was discovered that he was using a photo of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Velupillai Prabhakaran as a logo. The cases related to him that were with the CBI never made much progress. When Rao was with the Chennai division of the CBI, these cases picked up pace. Shankar then started writing against Rao.\n\nRao will also naturally supervise the investigations into the AugustaWestland case and the matter of bringing back Vijay Mallya. Naturally, he has become a headache for the Congress.\n\nWho, then, is Rao really? How capable is he?\n\nRao is originally from Warangal in Telangana. He did his post-graduation from Osmania University and subsequently undertook research at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. All this was before he became an Indian Police Service officer in 1986. He used the technique of fingerprint recognition for the first time in 1996 when he was posted as the Superintendent of Police in Odisha while solving a rape case. When he was with the Fire Department in 2013 and 2014, Odisha was ravaged by a cyclone. Due to the outstanding service rendered by him in handling that crisis, he received the Chief Minister’s Medal, Special Duty Medal, Odisha Governor’s Medal, and also the President’s Award.\n\nWhen Rao was posted as the Inspector General of Police of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) back in 2008, he launched the Lalghar Operation against Naxals. Rao had become a nightmare for separatists when he was the Deputy Inspector General of the CRPF in Manipur. Rao was also responsible for the creation of the second battalion of the CRPF Cobra force in Sambhalpur.\n\nThere is more to say about this distinguished officer. Because Rao is not one to be content with wearing his uniform, sitting quietly, and taking salutes from his juniors. He has always been the one who has received salutations from the people he has served."

"The Coalition of Civil Societies, Osun State and National Associational of Nigerian Students (NANS), have given the Federal Government of Nigeria five days ultimatum to reverse the petrol pump price and electricity tariff.\n\nThe protesters in Osogbo, the state capital of Osun on Friday, demanded the government to reverse the pump price to its original N130 and also reverse other anti-human taxes and tariffs increase.\n\nRecall that the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, had earlier announced an increment in the pump price of petrol to N151.56 per litre.\n\nThe chairman of Osun Civil Societies Coalition, OCSC, Comrade Waheed Lawal, who led the protest, lamented that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari has failed Nigerians over unfulfilled promised he made during the electioneering process.\n\nAccording to him, “Nigeria belongs to all and the masses voted for President Muhammadu Buhari because of the promises he made during his campaign, but Buhari has failed Nigerians.”\n\nThey, however, give the President Buhari five days ultimatum to reverse electricity tariff and petrol pump price or see a riot of the masses."
