"With Two and a Half Men booting him and more goddesses to care for, it was inevitable that Charlie Sheen would hit the road for his “Fastball: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option Show”. But like any good show before it, so much of the success will depend on the music the show utilizes. And since Mr. Sheen deserves nothing but the best, the man with tiger blood or whatever he’s spouting between bong hits has tapped Snoop Dogg and Filter’s Rob Patterson to collaborate with Sheen on a track for the show (via Billboard).\n\nAs he is want to do, Sheen took to Twitter to announce the trio’s project, writing “Warlock meets his makers-music makers that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within!” along with posting the photo above. No word yet if Sheen will preview the track before the tour, but stay tuned to CoS if it drops at any point. Since making the initial announcement regarding the tour, Sheen has also added a plethora of more dates, all of which you can see below."

"What is clear? The veteran legislator is less than pleased with the general direction of things and, specifically, how the campaign for chairman is playing out online and in the media.\n\n“I am embarrassed to be a part of the BCRO. The only people winning right now are Lou Stellato and the Democrats,” Schepisi, who joined the Assembly in 2012, opined to Save Jersey on Monday night. “The personal attacks on non-candidates are appalling and are further dividing anything we may have left. Whomever wins tomorrow night, I beg of him, be a leader, stop this garbage and give us hope for the future.”",

"The campaign hadn’t been exactly cordial up until this highly-controversial mailer hit but matters reached near-nuclear proportions after it did.\n\nThe men named in the Yudin camp’s attack mailer responded in a joint letter of their own, declaring how “[a]fter spending seven years as invited members of your kitchen cabinet, you can imagine how shocked we were to learn today what bad company we are….\n\nWe request that you immediately return the tens of thousands of dollars that you asked from us and that we have contributed and raised for you over seven of the last eight years.\n\nWe would hate for such tainted money to remain in the BCRO coffers.”\n\nIn published statements to the media as well as a late Monday night e-mail blast, Yudin responded to Toscano and company’s return volley by alleging that the schism occurred when the former advisers attempted to give him “orders.”\n\nMore than 1,000 BCRO members are expected to vote for Yudin or DiGaetano at party headquarters in downtown Hackensack on Tuesday evening."

"When Nicholas “The Axe Man” Walters made his professional debut in August 2008, in Panama, very few could see in the Jamaica born the new star that would take the the land of the reggae to the boxing world close-ups, because that night he managed to defeat the modest Panamanian fighter Esteban Ramos.\n\nLed by Jack Deschamps, Walters was put under the renowned Panamanian trainer Celso Chavez who polished him little by little, teaching him the Panamanian boxing style, to which he adapted at a very rapid pace. Always with his face up, Walters was stringing victories, most of them by the way of knockout, to win his first regional title when he beat the undefeated Carlos Manuel Reyes from Colombia by UD and also won the opportunity of entering the WBA ratings.\n\nThis victory increased his desire to grow that he managed with discipline and perseverance until he had the opportunity to participate in the 25th KO Drugs Boxing Festival, when he faced the rated Irving Berry and finished him in six rounds. At that time the fans saw Walters as a possible contender to the world Crown until October 2012 was designated mandatory challenger of the then world champion Celestino “Pelenchin” Caballero of Panama who decided to give up the Crown before giving an opportunity to the Jamaican.\n\nOn December 8, 2012, Walters received the golden opportunity; it would be in his native Jamaica during the XXVII KO drugs Festival to fight for the vacant World Championship before the Colombian puncher Daulis Prescott and to attempt to be the first Jamaican to win a world championship in his country. That night, “The Axe Man” didn’t disappoint his people and with intelligence was able to take the best part and hit his opponent until he had to succumb in the seventh round; Walters made history and at the same time, sent a message to the boxing connoisseurs demonstrating his caste.\n\nAfter the sweet victory and seeking the best options for his protégé, Jack Deschamps managed to sign with the powerful Northern Colossus Top Rank, who immediately tested him against Mexican Alberto Garza whom Walters dispatched by TKO in 4 rounds, pleasing that night attendees in Texas. Then he traveled to Macao, China to face former double world champion Vic Darchinyan, and, in that occasion, Walters promised to steal the show and so he did when he finished his opponent with a overwhelming knockout in the second defense of his championship.\n\nCuriously, Top Rank programmed him to fight in the same two program Nonito Donaire fought, a smart move because they showed in the same night the best of the division, creating a kind of rivalry between the two members of his stable, later they would announce the mega fight between Nonito Donaire vs Nicholas Walters to take place this Saturday, October 18 at Stub Hub Center in Carson, California, USA.\n\nUndoubtedly this will be the toughest test in the career of the reggae boy, is his door and the key to the big leagues of boxing and so Walters has prepared all machine to demonstrate that he is ready for big things “20 of the 24 have fallen before the limit, this is my time”, he is quick I am also fast and hit hard, I will seek the knockout and get what belongs to me, the top and be the new force of world boxing” said Walters.",

"A large number of Turkish millennials are expressing their thoughts that they find the term ‘Eşol Eşek’ offensive to Eşeks.\n\nThe term, made famous by comedian Kemal Sunal was a catchphrase that broke down barriers, established new connections and almost brought world peace.\n\nThe term eşek is an abbreviation of eşek oğlu eşek which translates to ‘son of a donkey’.\n\nHowever according to a focus group at the Saban university, 89% of the attendees found that the term was offensive to donkeys and should be removed from all films just like alcohol, swearing, smiling and American branding.\n\nThe topic sparked much debate with some of the participants asking:\n\n“Why does it have to be an eşek? What did the donkey ever do to be classed as an idiot?”.\n\nThe focus group found that calling someone ‘a son of a donkey’ shouldn’t be an insult and we should treat everyone with the same respect – donkeys and sons of them.",

What about daughters of eşeks?”.\n\nThis sparked an #eşeklıvesmatter hashtag, but nobody tweeted it due to the current twitter blocks in turkey.",

"A triple bill in the Depot cinema in Lewes – FREE TO ALL!\n\nPaine wrote three of the bestselling political essays of all time: Common Sense, Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason. His books changed the world and helped shape modern democracy. He lit the fuse for the American Revolution, was an active participant in the French Revolution and laid the foundation for political reform in Britain.\n\nMelvyn Bragg travels from Norfolk to Philadelphia, New York and Paris as he follows in the footsteps of one of the great champions of democracy and human rights – Thomas Paine. Along the way, he shows how the freedoms we all now enjoy grew out of 18th-century Enlightenment thinking and were given popular voice in the works of Thomas Paine.\n\nMelvyn visited Lewes and found out about Paine’s first writing ‘The Case of The Officers of Excise’ penned while Paine lived in Lewes 1768-1774. This features in this excellent documentary which was only screened twice on BBC 2 on prime time. Bragg managed to get the whole of Paine’s life into 60 minutes, and did it very well indeed!\n\nThe Case of The Officers of Excise: directed by Mick Hawksworth produced by Artemis Arts\nRuntime 20 mins\n\nMick Hawksworth was asked to produce a film about Paine in Lewes as a part of The Thomas Paine in Lewes festival. Mick is an accomplished director who has worked at the highest level for ITV and Channel 4 news. Previously Mick has directed and produced two documentaries for Lewes about Rodin and Caro, both screen nationwide.\n\nMany Lewes characters were recruited to act in the film, some seasoned actors for Lewes Theatre Club including Miles Jenner, Simon Hellyer and Roger Murray and others who showed their talents: Julian Bell, Adam Frost, Dave Hobson and Merlin Milner to name but a few.\n\nMick wrote the screenplay based on Thomas Paine in Lewes 1878-1774: A Prelude to American Independence by Colin Brent Deborah Gage and Paul Myles. It was shot in Lewes over one weekend and to date has had one screening in a Lewes cinema. This is a rare outing for this still relevant film.\n\nThomas Paine: The Case of The Officers of Excise by Paul Myles\nA short talk with Q&A\n\nAn introduction to the publication of Paul Myles’s latest book, showing the events that led to Paine being plucked out of obscurity to pen his first national document, here in Lewes.\n\nPaul will show the documents that lay hidden in the Treasury Boxes in the National Archives – the missing signatures. This tells a different story about Thomas Paine, about how he was trying to make things better in the United Kingdom with the help of some friends in very high places.\n\nA quote from Professor Richard Whatmore of the University of St Andrews (History and Intellectual History) about Paul’s book:\n\n“This original and scholarly work explains the rise of Thomas Paine, who was chosen by a Commissioner of Excise, George Lewis Scott, to write The Case of the Officers of Excise, a work which identified and condemned the deep corruption within the English excise service, and called for the organization of workers to improve their pay and conditions. The origins of Paine’s links with figures such as Benjamin Franklin, so important when Paine moved to North America, is thereby explained”\n\nThe book is due to published early next year, and this is a peek preview of the story that emerged from the finding of these documents.",

"Last week Ag in Motion, the relatively new farm show near Langham, Saskatchewan, ran for the fifth time in as many years. Having walked the show site every year from the very first one until now, I have to say that next year I’ll be demanding he boss provide me with some sort of on-site transportation. That first year wasn’t too bad getting around the grounds to do interviews and look at machines. The total show area was smaller. But now, the 100 acres filled with 552 exhibits is another story entirely. I wore out a lot of shoe leather getting around the site this year.\n\nIt’s been a show that has become progressively better every year; and having attended more than a few farm shows on three continents, in my opinion it ranks right up there with the good ones. (Full disclosure: Glacier FarmMedia, the company that owns Grainews and therefore employs me, owns AIM too.) But I’m not writing this to suck up to the big shots in the company. It honestly is a good event. And I think it has the largest number of actual field demonstrations of any show I’ve ever attended.",

"Seeing machines sitting in a paved parking lot is one thing. Seeing them churn up dirt in anger is quite another. And I have to say, I’ve drawn some conclusions about what I would and wouldn’t buy from watching some of the demos over the past half decade. So if you were in the market for one of the machines on trial, paying the $20 gate fee to get in and see them work could possibly have prevented a pretty costly error in purchasing.\n\nWhen I’m at shows or have just come back from them, one of the questions I am frequently asked is, did I see anything that caught my attention. My response after nearly every event I go to is yes. But it’s how many things did I see that would be the better question.

"Although the major bands, Deere and the like, typically use U.S. shows to publicly debut equipment (although they have made some notable exceptions to that in recent years) regional shows like AIM are where you can expect to see a lot of introductions from short-line manufacturers in a variety of implement types. And if you don’t travel extensively like I do to be at those major brand launches, shows like AIM still offer early looks at the new major-brand machines as they start to make the rounds to shows across North America.\n\nMost of the “interesting” things I see at shows eventually make it into the pages of Grainews. So if you missed the show, watch the that publication for some of the things we think were worthy of at least a second glance. I wish we could dump all of those articles out in one gigantic issue to get you the info quickly. Unfortunately, publishing schedules don’t allow for that. So keep an eye on your mailbox over the next few months for a taste of what was on display at the show this year.\n\nOf course, those won’t be the only machinery tidbits we offer. We’re constantly looking across the industry for things, in both new and used machinery, that catch our eye so we can bring those observations to you."

"END_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nHere’s a fun game from [A.J.]’s lab. It’s a simulated king cobra made from an Arduino, an ultrasonic sensor, and a servo. The aim of the game is to grab a ball in front of the device without being ‘bitten’ by the thumbtack attached to a drinking straw controlled by a servo. You know, just like a real king cobra.\n\nThere’s no schematic or build plans for this project, but it looks easy enough to cobble together. Despite its simplicity, this game looks hilariously fun, and could quite possibly provide more entertainment through using the machine rather than simply building it.\n\nNo text description of this game can do it justice, so check out the video below. It looks like a lot of fun, and if you already have the parts in a bin somewhere, it’ll make a great weekend build.\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nThe folks over at Kirkham Motorsports have turned out two things of beauty. The first is a sky’s-the-limit milled aluminum car. The second is a book about the making of the car that runs $4500 per copy. Why so much for a book? The binding is milled out of a 35 pound aluminum billet.\n\nThe project spans a 2 1/2 year build cycle and showcases the gamut of craftsmanship. The extremely detailed build log is available at their website in PDF form. Of particular interest to us is Chapter 10: Milling. The sheer volume of machined parts for this roadster is mind-boggling. There’s also plenty of CNC pipe bending involved with the body work in Chapter 18.\n\nFinish up your work this morning and spend the rest of the day with this fantasy creation. If you’ve got too much to do, why not shell out for the hard-copy version and devote your weekend to metal-working romance?"

"Down the road from Chicamocha lies San Gil, a small town of roughly 40,000 people. The town is growing due to the fact that it is the adventure sport tourism hotspot in Colombia. In addition to the paragliding that I did a few days ago, other popular activities include white water rafting, rock climbing, caving and hiking.\n\nRoss, Janus and I gave the rafting a try. Unfortunatley there hadn’t been a great amount of rain in some time. Consequently, the water was tame; although Janus still managed to fall out of the raft. Man overboard!",
null,
null,
"San Gil’s main square, Parque Del Libertad, reminded me of Xela in Guatemala. It illustrates the way of life here perfectly. The square is the social centre of the town. Live music and fruit stools galore. It is domimated by the 18th century church – Catedral Santa Cruz. Many townsfolk enjoy their afternoons reading the local newspaper on one of the many benches that have sufficient amounts of shade as tall trees act as neccessary sunscreens.",

"Whilst in San Gil, our hostel host invited us to go play a traditional Colombian game called Tejo. “Traditional” i find is sometimes an overused word, but considering the Colombians have been playing this game for 500 years, it’s safe to say that it is well and truly traditional in this case!",
null,
"Tejo is unusual compared to other “traditional” games that I’ve played in other countries. A simple breakdown is as follows; a stone (like a small discus) is thrown from a set distance between 16 to 18 meters, with the target being an area of clay slanted at 45 degrees that contains small triangles of gunpowder. Yes gunpowder. Fun! It doesn’t take a genuis to figure out that the top score involves exploding one of the explosive triangles (5 points). You also score points if you land your stone in the clay, and if you get a small detonation which doesn’t completely destroy the triangle (both 1 point). In teams or 1 vs 1, it’s first to 27 – so if you are awful, get ready for a long game. Simple enough right?",
null,
"With a couple of beers, the game is great fun. You’ll have a banger… It’s even more enjoyable when you’re somehow actually quite good at it! God knows how, but I managed to win a free cocktail as a result of top scoring! Definitely my travelling highlight to date…",

"Texas Ex Marielle Hall earned a spot on the U.S. team and a number of former and current Longhorns qualified for event finals Saturday at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon.\n\nHall led the 10,000 meters race until Molly Huddle and Emily Infeld caught her with four laps to go. Huddle won by over four seconds, crossing the finish in 31:41.62. Infeld took second and Hall placed third at 31:54.77.\n\n“It was a great day for the Horns getting another Olympic qualifier with Marielle Hall,” said Texas coach Mario Sategna.\n\nTexas grad Courtney Okolo won her heat in the 400-meter semifinals and was right behind Francena McCorory and Allyson Felix to take third place overall in the semis. Okolo ran the 400 in 50.36 seconds to qualify for the final. McCorory had the top time at 50.28 and Felix was second at 50.31. UT’s Ashley Spencer advanced to the final with a seventh place finish at 51.21.\n\nTexas sophomore Morolake Akinosun ran a personal-best time of 10.99 seconds in the 100-meters dash and advanced to the semifinals with a sixth place showing.\n\nFormer Texas and current Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marquise Goodwin nearly missed qualifying for the men’s long jump. He was as high as fifth place with his second jump of 25 feet 8 inches but slipped down to 11th place with three jumpers to go. One fouled, the other passed Goodwin’s mark and the final jumper came up short. Goodwin took the final qualifying spot at 12th place.\n\nUT’s Aldrich Bailey fell short of advancing to the final of the 400 meter after placing ninth in the semis. Bailey was sixth in his heat at 45.42 seconds.\n\nFormer Longhorn and 2012 silver medalist Trey Hardee dropped to 17th place after the first five events of the decathlon on Saturday. Hardee dislocated his ankle in January and pulled a hamstring while training for the trials. He struggled on the high jump and pulled up lame on the final 120 meters of the 400.\n\nHe is attempting to make his third Olympic team and is planning on competing in the final five events on Sunday.\n\n“This is my last Olympic Trials” Hardee said. “And I’m not gonna watch it from the stands.”"

"You know Katie Botelho-Bielatowicz as the co-owner of JKB Entertainment Group and Limelight Magazine, but you may not know that she also does amazing nail art.\n\nBotelho-Bielatowicz went to UMass Dartmouth to pursue a degree in marketing and recently went back to school at the Kay Harvey LaBaron Hairdressing Academy to get her nail technician license. She now has her license and has even pursued some possible careers within the field.\n\nBotelho-Bielatowicz spoke with me about what first sparked her passion for nail art.\n\n“I remember seeing a design that looked nearly impossible, so I decided to try it,” she said. “I was pleasantly surprised at how good it came out and from there on out I’ve been intrigued by trying different things!”\n\nBotelho-Bielatowicz has been painting nails for eight years now but she wasn’t always interested in this art form.\n\n“I used to get acrylics done and decided that I had enough with artificial nails,” Botelho-Bielatowicz said. “I started a job at a beauty supply store and bought my first salon brand polish. I was hooked from there. I now have my own little room that’s dedicated to my nail polish, so you can only imagine how many I own!”\n\n“My love for nail art simply stemmed from other people’s nail art,” Botelho-Bielatowicz said. “I wanted my nails to look like that so I decided to try it for myself. It’s my hobby and my way from stepping aside from reality for a while.”\n\nAlthough Botelho-Bielatowicz has been painting nails for a while, just over the past few years she began to challenge herself and work on more integrated designs.\n\n“I started faithfully painting my nails about eight years ago and probably a few years after that is when I added nail art to the mix,” Botelho-Bielatowicz said.\n\n“Because of my love for nails, I decided to get my nail technician license,” Botelho-Bielatowicz said. “There I was taught to do acrylics, although I never do them at home. Every so often I’ll do a gel manicure on myself, but I like to switch my colors so frequently that it’s not worth it for me.”\n\nBotelho-Bielatowicz decided to get her nail technician license just for fun, yet she has also learned a lot from practice and research.\n\nBotelho-Bielatowicz combined her self-taught skills with a variety of techniques she learned at the academy to practice this fine art. Check out her nail art Facebook page HERE which is appropriately called “Confessions of a Nailaholic.”\n\nSeen within the pictures on her page, Botelho-Bielatowicz explores many themes and techniques within her artwork. She talked about the tools she typically uses.\n\n“I mainly use a nail cleaning brush, dotting tools and a small paint brush from the craft store to draw intricate designs,” she said.\n\nIt’s obvious that Botelho-Bielatowicz enjoys exploring many different nail art themes but she definitely has her favorite.\n\n“My favorite time to do nail art is from October to December,” she said. “There are so many different designs with the holidays that there’s always something to do. I love festive nails!”\n\n“Halloween is my favorite time of the year so naturally I love everything about it,” she said. “There are just so many great designs you can do for Halloween and I love the reaction I get when people see my nails and they’re all horror themed. For the most part, most of my artwork is related to Halloween/Tim Burton films. It just makes me happy.”\n\nTo coincide with Limelight Magazine‘s 10th anniversary, here are 10 nail art designs done by Botelho-Bielatowicz that are perfect for the Halloween season.",

"A photo of a neighborhood cafe that I took in April, 1973 on St. Simons Island, off the Georgia coast:",
null,
"Hazel’s still stands, at 1166 Demere Rd on St. Simons Island, GA. If you google the street view, you’ll notice the paint is long gone and the car no longer lurks in the background.\n\nMy maternal grandparents retired from Manhattan to a rambling home on neighboring Sea Island in the early 1960’s. We spent Easter vacations there every year. When I was old enough to drive I would borrow the car and go exploring. The best finds were places like this, that exemplified the island’s rich history, or discovering a small treasure trove of old 45’s (Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie) in a little record store on the mainland. I explored a marshy pond off a back road and found alligators – a little too close for comfort – and a black bird called a Smooth-billed Ani, which was very rare in Georgia.\n\nSome things endure, some don’t.\n\nI’m white, and the privilege of my race and class afforded me many wonderful experiences in Georgia back then. Not so much the local African American population, most of whom were employed in service to whites, worked long hours and likely didn’t have the time and freedom to wander around anywhere they wanted, in search of interesting sights.\n\nThe ease of being Caucasian endures in this country, and the challenges of being African American can still be life-threatening.\n\nHazel’s cafe apparently endures too; unfortunately I lost the 45’s. The nameless cafe in the header photo is probably long gone, and alligators are probably scarce in the area, with all the developments and golf courses, but the Smooth billed Ani is still considered a vagrant in Georgia."

"by Lake Monsters’ Coach Randy Folker for the Valley Journal\n\nThe top swimmers in the state recently gathered at the Grizzly Pool in Missoula for the Montana Swimming State Championship.\n\nThe three-day event, held Feb. 19-21, is an invitational meet open to all the state’s teams, but only to swimmers who achieved qualifying times in the previous14 months.\n\nThe Lake Monsters’ Swim Team sent seven of their most dedicated, hard working and accomplished swimmers to compete in 42 individual events. Team leader Landon Shipley extended his impressive season-long ascendancy in the 15-16 age group with solid performances in each of his seven swims, which included top 16 placing in his butterfly and backstroke events.\n\nLandon’s training partner, 14-year-old Gabe Mergenthaler, demonstrated his range of athleticism by scoring in events ranging from the 500 freestyle to the 50 freestyle. Gabe was also a finalist in the 50-yard butterfly, finishing seventh in the state.\n\nElissa Crist, 14, qualified as a finalist, rounding out a consistent weekend of swimming with a fantastic personal best time and sixth place finish in her 50-yard butterfly. Younger sister Tiana Crist was runner-up in the Lake Monster MVP competition with six out of seven personal best times, which included two top 10 finishes and a seventh place finish in the arduous 400-yard individual medley.\n\nState championship veteran Hannah Simpson, a prolific and well-known 10-and-under competitor in Montana, placed and scored in six of seven of her events that included freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke races. The Lake Monsters’ youngest-ever state meet competitor was 7-year-old Amelia Stene, who qualified in the 25-yard freestyle. She was a heat winner, achieved a personal best time and placed 11th in her age group, but Amelia’s biggest smile would come a bit later in the meet.\n\nWith all the great swims by older and younger teammates, none were greater than 8-and-under swimmer Teague McElwee. Teague placed top three in the state in every one of his maximum allowable six events. He brought home two bronze, two silver and two gold medals for his ever-expanding awards cache, and he scored more points than any other 8-and-under in the state. Teague is also the first-ever State Champion for the Lake Monster Swim Team, and he recorded the notable achievement twice in just one day.\n\nWhile individual swimming achievements are laudable, it is even sweeter when a team can achieve notoriety for work accomplished together. In an effort to give back to the community, Missoula YMCA swimmer Jacob Butler initiated a food drive competition. Each swim team in the state had six weeks to bring in as much food as they could for their local food banks with the final calculation set for the first day of the Montana State Swimming Championships.\n\nThe Lake Monsters set a goal of 250 pounds and invited members of the Mission Valley Aquatics community to help them reach their goal. The final tally was 253 pounds, which was great news. Even better, the Magnificent Seven of the Lake Monster State Team were presented with the Food Drive Cup for collecting more food per swimmer than any team in the state. The Lake Monsters accounted for more than 20 percent of the total food collected versus teams from Missoula, Bozeman and Billings. On hand to accept the award, surrounded by her teammates, was Amelia Stene and her gigantic snaggle-toothed smile.\n\nIf you would like to see your Lake Monsters perform, the team will be hosting a second statewide competition March 5-6 at the Mission Valley Aquatic Center. The Montana B-C Junior Championships is open to swimmers across the state that have not yet achieved the qualifying time necessary for an invitation to the recent state championship. The team expects upwards of 250 swimmers to attend the two-day event, and volunteers and spectators are welcome.\n\nIf you are interested in becoming involved with the Lake Monsters Swim Team, or Mission Valley Aquatics, classes are available to all. The facility offers swim lessons for young and old, team training opportunities for children, adult swimmers, and “Silver Swimmers,” a senior group. Ask for information about upcoming triathlon and open water clinics, stroke clinics, regular classes in Aqua Zumba, Aqua Jogging, Aqua Fitness and warm water therapy."

"I’m not the biggest fan of fashion trends, in general, but when the trend of the moment happens to overlap with your innate preferences… well, you just gotta run with it, right? Which is how I feel about velvet right now.\n\nAnyway, I’m plugging along with my Christmas sewing like a good little elf, but intermittently, I’ve been indulging in quick little selfish projects, as you may have noticed. The most recent, to go with last week’s velvet stockings, is a little velvet slip.",
null,
"I used Butterick 6031 again. I’m trying to do a count in my head and I think I’ve made the slip or cami a total of six times. Well, seven now. I’ve made the briefs a couple of times, too, but I’m not as wild about them.\n\nI love the shape of the pattern, and I love that the separate bust piece with the dart builds in a little shape and support. It’s not much, but I don’t need much. It’s just nice.",
null,
"For this version, I went very pared down. I didn’t want to mix flimsy stretch lace with the heftier velvet. So I went with FOE for the top edge and straps, and I lengthened the skirt three inches. I’ll probably shave an inch or so off of that, though, it’s a little long now.",
null,
"I used my usual 5/8″ FOE (which finishes at about 1/4″) and I think I maybe should’ve gone with the 1″ that finishes at about 1/2″ for a heftier look, but it didn’t even occur to me. I use the 5/8″ for just about everything, and I’m making a pretty good dent in that giant 100-yard spool I got a few years ago.\n\nOh, and I cut everything with the nap running up—I didn’t even think of it until I had it on my body and realized that I can only pet myself running upward. Downward would feel more natural. What, don’t tell me you don’t pet yourself when you’re swathed in velvet!",
null,
"The whole thing took about half an hour, including cutting out. It helps that the pattern was in my quick-access drawer and that I used the same black thread that was already on the machines.",
null,
"Now obviously a velvet slip is not very effective as a slip per se, but it’s a pretty awesome nightie. Especially when it has matching velvet stockings. Presumably a robe would complete the set but I’m not much of a robe person… we’ll see. For now—back to the Christmas presents!\n\n6 responses to “In further velvet news”"

You only have to look at Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, who tops the Premier League’s scoring charts this season and is enjoying his best goals-per-game ratio.\n\nHowever, there are certain players over the years who may have called it quits for their country too soon. Let’s have a look at the top three individuals who could have done so much more for England.\n\nShearer first made his mark for England’s Under-21 side and his record of scoring 13 times in 11 games is yet to be beaten, proving just what a remarkable achievement that still is.\n\nAt the age of 22, the striker made his debut in the 2–0 win against France in February 1992, marking the occasion with a goal, and he was expected to enjoy a long and successful international career, breaking numerous records along the way.\n\nFollowing the disappointment of failing to qualify for the 1994 World Cup, Shearer top-scored at Euro 96 before bagging two goals at the 1998 World Cup, where the Three Lions were eliminated at the quarter-final stage.\n\nHowever, the Newcastle United legend made the surprise decision to call time on his international career after Euro 2000 and, despite calls for his reinstatement in 2002 and 2004, he finished with 30 goals from 63 appearances for his country.\n\nTo this day, it is thought Shearer could have led the line for England for at least two more tournament but nobody will know what could have happened. The striker ended his playing career in 2006, scoring his final goal in a victory over rivals Sunderland to reach 260 Premier League goals, a record that still stands.\n\nThe mercurial talent that is Scholes graced English football for nearly two decades, having played for Manchester United from 1993-2011 before then coming out of retirement for the Red Devils in the 2012/13 campaign.\n\nDuring his domestic career, the midfielder won 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League crown, among numerous other trophies, but he never managed to replicate that form for England.\n\nThe 45-year-old’s international highlights include scoring on his World Cup debut in 1998 and grabbing England’s first hat-trick for six years in 1999 against Poland.\n\nHis Three Lions career ended prematurely after Euro 2004 when England lost to Portugal on penalties. Scholes had been pushed out to the left wing in order to accommodate midfield duo Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, who were were part of the so-called ‘Golden Generation’.\n\nAt the age of 33, Milner is still one of the fittest players in the Premier League and he topped Liverpool’s bleep test during pre-season, highlighting the fantastic shape he keeps himself in.\n\nThe Leeds-born star is one of the most versatile players around, adept at playing left-back, right-back, on either wing and central midfield. No matter where you ask him to play, a 100 per cent effort will be given.\n\nMilner decided to call it a day with England in August 2016. Despite calls for him to come back for the 2018 World Cup, he kept his international boots hung up at home.\n\nEven now, the two-time Premier League winner could do a job for the Three Lions and is another who could have earned way more than the 61 caps he ended up with."

"The new Motorola Razr merges classic mobile design with cutting-edge technology, and one area where the Razr is firmly ahead of the curve is with eSIM technology. In fact, you can only buy Motorola’s flip smartphone in the eSIM-only variety. That means no physical SIM card slot, which has a whole host of implications.\n\nFor starters, the SIM tray’s absence limits your choice of carriers. Not even all the big US players support eSIM quite yet, and certainly not on a global scale. For example, you’re out of luck if you prefer Sprint in the US, or Vodafone if you’re in the UK. Smaller MVNOs are almost certainly a no-go, so cheap plans are unlikely to be an option in the near future.\n\nThere’s also the question of network locking. With the Motorola Razr, purchasing from Verizon locks the phone to the carrier for 90 days until you’ve paid the phone off, at which point you can then switch to T-Mobile or AT&T. Although keep in mind that the phone is missing bands 12 and 14 used by these carriers for rural coverage! In the UK, the phone will arrive as an EE exclusive, so we’ll have to see if it’s permanently or temporarily locked to EE as well.\n\nThe bottom line is, prepare for a much more limited range of options when picking eSIM-only over a phone that supports traditional SIMs too.\n\nSpeaking of switching networks, one of eSIM’s strengths is that this is usually a super simple process. Carriers often send scannable QR codes to quickly get you up and running. So no more fussing about with SIM trays and keys.\n\nUnfortunately, finding and comparing eSIM-compatible plans, especially ones that allow you to bring your own phone, isn’t easy. Carriers often only support certain devices as well, so that’s certainly worth checking out in advance. At the moment, getting started with eSIM can be a little more convoluted than just popping in a SIM card.\n\nNetworks with eSIM support are thin on the ground in a lot of countries.\n\nWorldwide support for eSIM technology is growing, but outside of Western Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, choices become much more limited. If Motorola envisions a worldwide launch for the Razr, we may eventually see a version with a physical SIM tray pop up in the future.\n\nThese bugbears undermine one of eSIM’s greatest strengths, which is the ease of switching networks and data plans. For instance, changing plans while traveling can help avoid expensive roaming charges. It’s also relatively quick to cancel a plan or change to a new SIM if your phone is lost or stolen. Although again, giving users more control over these processes would make them much better. eSIM has loads of potential, but it could be a bit more consumer-friendly.\n\nPaying to be on the cutting edge\n\nThe Motorola Razr leaps headfirst into the future of mobile, with a unique flexible display-driven design and sporting eSIM as the only networking option. Priced at $1,500, you’re certainly paying for the privilege, but you’ll have to suffer from some early adopter gripes as well.\n\nLaunching an eSIM-only phone targets a smaller market today, but will eventually be the norm.\n\nWhile eSIM isn’t a new mobile technology, no other smartphone has shipped without a traditional SIM tray as a backup. The Google Pixel 4 and Apple’s latest iPhones have so far stuck with dual SIM options. The eSIM + physical SIM setup retains the flexibility of the legacy standard. The Motorola Razr fully embraces the future of eSIM technology, but that has its share of drawbacks while the ecosystem matures.\n\nEventually, eSIM should make it easier for us all to switch networks and data plans across not just one but multiple devices. Worrying about roaming charges and keeping old numbers will eventually be a thing of the past. The Motorola Razr is leading the way, but just be prepared to pay a little more for the privilege.\n\nAdamya Sharma 10 months ago\nNews\nTagged:\neSIM, Motorola, Motorola Razr\nMotorolaMotorola RazreSIM\nComments\nRead comments\nYou Might Like\nMotorola team-up will bring over-the-air wireless power to smartphones\nby Jon Fingas12 hours ago\nThe best smartwatches you can buy (May 2021)\nby Jimmy WestenbergMay 3, 2021\nWhen should you expect to receive the Android 10 update?

"So how is Ben Affleck handling things following the announcement of his impending divorce from Jennifer Garner? Not very well, apparently. Luckily his best buddies, Matt Damon and agent Patrick Whitesell, are there to help. “Ben’s taking all the blame for the end of his marriage. He didn’t want her to leave, but he gave her no choice,” a source tells Radar Online. “He’s really in bad shape, and Matt and Pat are urging him to get past this as quickly as possible and stay focused on the work ahead of him. They have formed a tight circle of protection around Ben and are determined to keep him from a full-on breakdown.” Sounds intense, bros.\n\n“He’s naturally a workaholic anyway,” the source adds, “but he’s in a dark place now, and only time and his friends can help pull him through.” Of course, these are the very same best buds who supposedly drove a wedge between him and Garner when things were getting rocky, so maybe they just actually got what they wanted all along? Sneaky."

"A Frozen Food Restaurant Has Opened On The UWS",

"Our latest installment of Quick Bites brings us to the UWS for frozen food.\n\nTHE VIBE\nThree years ago a specialty food store named Babeth's Feast opened on the Upper East Side, and the food it specialized in was frozen. Like the kind of prepared meals you'd find in your grocery store's frozen food aisle but, presumably, made with more love and higher quality ingredients than whatever's in your average, say, Libbyland Safari Supper. Also, a lot more French.\n\nThe concept has apparently been well-received, so much so that a new Babeth's Feast recently landed across town on the Upper West Side, though here on Amsterdam Avenue there's a bit of a twist: in addition to selling a wide variety of packaged frozen food to go, at the new location you can also dine in, choosing from a short menu of heated-up dishes.\n\nNot that the general ambiance differs much from an actual supermarket aisle. Most of the small shop is taken up by banks of brightly-lit freezers, with a pair of short unadorned marble counters up front at which about a half dozen people can eat at a time. It's not exactly a warm environment, and you won't feel compelled to linger (there's also no booze available), but it's a comfortable enough spot for wolfing down a hot meal.\n\nTHE BITES\nIgnore the posted menu—it was incomplete and inaccurate both nights I went last week—and ask one of the many workers hovering around what they have simmering in those big Le Creuset pots by the register. You get a casserole-type entree and a side for about $11, served in a heavy-duty china bowl or plate. The portions are fairly substantial.\n\nIt's been many years since I've eaten a frozen meal, and the memories are pretty grim, so I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was here. I tried three combos, the best of which was the Beef Bourguignon (stunningly tender meat, vaguely smoky wine sauce) with a ladle-full of thick, slightly sweet Creamed Spinach on the side.\n\nThe Fish Curry also surpassed expectations, with fat fillets of flaky swai swimming in a lively, coconut-infused sea. This went down just fine poured all over a mound of hearty mashed potatoes. Veal Stew was the final entree on offer, and though I enjoyed eating the, again, extremely tender meat, something about the creamy sauce didn't sit well with it. The Farro side dish that came with was pleasantly nutty and chewy, however, and was studded with tart apples.\n\nBased on samples laid out in trays at the bar, I would suggest avoiding the Margherita Pizza, though the Chicken Potstickers weren't bad. The Cheesecake is not worth the calories.\n\nTHE VERDICT\nThe heated-up frozen food at Babeth's Feast makes for a counterintuitively homey meal, even in such sterile surroundings. Locals will probably want to just bring the stuff home to try it out, but my companion and I definitely liked the change of pace as a quick meal before a movie at the AMC a few blocks down.\n\n#babeth's feast\n#frozen food\n#quick bites\n#uws\n#original\nDo you know the scoop?

"SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- China has ended its one-child policy imposed on most of its citizens. Exceptions have been rare and sometimes subject to penalties. The change has to do with a shrinking work force.\n\nChina's one-child policy has been in effect for over three decades. Couples having one child often preferred a boy. Girls were put in orphanages and put up for adoption. Nearly nine out of every 10 Chinese children adopted by Americans in recent years have been girls -- nearly 64,000 in all.\n\nThe new two-child policy will be a major change. Lynne Silver is executive director emeritus of Adoption International, one of the two first agencies to arrange for Americans to adopt children from China.\n\n\"When they have the girl first, now they'll have the opportunity to have the son, and that doesn't seem to matter as much in the rural areas. In some of the main cities, girls are fine now,\" Silver said.\n\nExperts say China has an economic and demographic reason for ending its one-child policy. Its population would shrink over time, with two people dying for each child born. And that would mean a smaller work force.\n\nDr. Bruce Pickering is executive director of the Asia Society of Northern California.\n\n\"Without that additional pool of labor, the Chinese economy, it will be rough. It will be hard to take care of the older generation, and it will be harder to maintain the level of growth,\" said Bruce Pickering of the Asia Society of Northern California.\n\nThe old policy allowed parents to spoil their single child with visits to theme parks. But it also meant that a grown-up child would be alone in caring for grandparents and parents."

"Sinitta has revealed that Simon Cowell is fitter now than before he broke his back in a horror bike accident.\n\nThe Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor mogul fell off his electric bike in August last year.\n\nHowever, Sinitta has exclusively revealed to Entertainment Daily that Simon is not only fighting fit now, he’s doing better than he was before he broke his back.\n\nWhat did Sinitta say about Simon Cowell and his accident?\n\nSinitta confirmed Simon has recovered from his accident.\n\nShe said: “He’s fitter than he was before he broke his back.\n\n“He’s walking 10,000 steps a day and doing his physiotherapy and eating really healthily and he’s in great shape.”\n\nShe flew over to see him in Barbados at Christmas and said it was “really important” that she saw him in the flesh.\n\nSinitta admitted: “It is so worrying when someone close to you has an accident like that and worrying for Eric to witness the whole thing.\n\n“I really wanted to see him in person because I didn’t want him to keep it from me if he was worse than he was saying he was, but actually he was in really good shape, good spirits, healthy.”\n\nHowever, it doesn’t look as if Simon will be returning to our TV screens any time soon.\n\n“It’s crazy but it looks like for the first time in 20 years we’re going to have a Simon Cowell-free TV.\n\n“If you think back to Pop Idol all those years ago, he’s been on TV every year. Hopefully he’ll be back early next year or maybe one of the channels will buy America’s Got Talent.”\n\nOne thing Simon isn’t even telling his close buddy Sinitta about, though, is just what he spoke about during his three-hour walk with Piers Morgan after he quit Good Morning Britain.\n\n“I saw the pictures of him walking with Piers and I did speak to him just before he went back to America,” Sinitta confided.\n\n“I said: ‘Oh, are you getting Piers to do BGT?’ And he said: ‘You’ll see darling, we’ll talk about it.’ He was being a bit secretive.”\n\nSimon Cowell in a ‘difficult position’\n\nHowever, Sinitta also revealed that, in light of the Piers fallout after the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview, any TV collaboration between Piers and Simon “won’t be that cut and dried”.\n\nShe revealed: “I don’t know what’s going to happen now with the scandal with Harry, Meghan and Piers. The thing is Simon is also good friends with Prince Harry so I honestly don’t know.\n\n“I would imagine it would be quite tricky because he’s friends with both of them.\n\nIf they were going to do something he would be feeling really in quite a difficult position.\n\n“I think Simon is a more sympathetic and compassionate type of person and he’s also a very protective person. If they were going to do something he would be feeling really in quite a difficult position,” Sinitta said.\n\nShe added: “He wouldn’t condone Piers bullying Meghan or undermining her mental health issues and undermining if they’ve been treated with prejudice.\n\nSinitta added that, although they “haven’t discussed” it, going on the kind of man Simon is, “it wouldn’t be that cut and dried” when it came to taking sides.\n\n“It wouldn’t be: ‘Oh Simon’s with Piers,'” she said. “It wouldn’t be a cut-and-dried situation because of the issues and the people involved.”\n\nSinitta famously dated her now friend Simon Cowell and, post-lockdown, she said she’s on the lookout for love again.\n\nShe recently admitted she got booted off dating app Hinge after someone reported her as a catfish.\n\nHowever, although her account is back up and running she’s nervous about meeting someone in light of the tragic murder of Sarah Everard.\n\nSinitta said: “I’d like to meet someone the old-fashioned way or even with the people on an app to be able to meet them in a safe place. I’ve declined to go on walks, particularly after the Clapham tragedy.\n\n“I just don’t know if it’s sensible to be going for walks in parks with strangers.”\n\nSpeaking about the calibre of men on the app, Sinitta said she’s been chatting to a couple of nice ones.\n\n“There are some really nice guys on there but I get the vibe they like to move it on to meeting and chatting off the app, but it’s just so not me.\n\n“The Clapham thing scared me a lot, so I’m going back to them saying: ‘Lockdown’s lifting a bit now so it would be nice to meet some place with a lot of other people.'”\n\nShe added: “I’m not saying you look like a murderer, but you’ve got to be careful.”\n\n‘Not necessarily’ looking for marriage\n\n“I wouldn’t itch to get married, I’m not necessarily looking for that,” she admitted.\n\n“I’d like to just meet someone first and I kind of don’t want to lose faith that I can because I’ve been single for five years – the longest I’ve ever been single.\n\n“I was really enjoying it and my freedom and space and now I think I’m ready to come out of that.”\n\nAsked if she’s worried about men only wanting her for her fame, Sinitta admitted it’s not something she’s previously thought about when it comes to dating.\n\nHowever, she did admit that many business propositions turned out to be because they thought she’d get Simon Cowell involved.\n\n“You’ve got to have faith in humanity,” she said. “I would imagine only somebody really young would have the wrong intentions.”\n\n“You think someone’s really interested in working with you but really they’re hoping you’ll get Simon involved.”\n\nSinitta gets her COVID-19 vaccine\n\nAfter sharing a video of herself getting her COVID-19 vaccination to Instagram, Sinitta revealed she’s keen to use her platform for good.\n\nAs such, she’s been hosting live Q&As with leading doctors, with her followers asking questions that’ll hopefully give them a better understanding of how it works – and dispel fears and worries about having it.\n\n“Lockdown’s given me a chance to reflect on the things that matter,” Sinitta said.\n\n“It’s better than just showing endless pictures of myself – hi this is what I look like today, here’s me in another outfit.\n\n“I’m not judging anyone who does that but when you’re not dressing up you have nothing to show except here’s me with a grey hairline because I haven’t been to the hairdressers.”"

"I’ve got a confession to make:\n\nThroughout the last month I’ve done very little work for this blog.\n\nIt’s true, up until this week I’ve been in full on travel mode. I’d never intended for the trip to turn out that way. I was thinking 3-4 spots max, with one week in each location.\n\nThat’s plenty of time for me to get into a routine, and carve out some time during each day to get stuff done.\n\nI had a group of friends that were going to be traveling to some places that I’d always wanted to go (Saigon, Angkor Wat) and then culminating in my favorite city on Earth: Bangkok.",
null,
"So much for slow and steady.\n\nI decided to tag along for a variety of reasons, but mostly because the stars aligned, I’d get to cross off a few new spots on my list, it sounded like a ton of fun – which it was.\n\nBad news, is when you’re on the road every other day and have traveled specifically to see the sights, it doesn’t leave much time to, you know, be productive.\n\nLuckily, I was confident that if I took off for awhile and had limited access to wifi, I could still bring in enough income for the month to support the trip.\n\nHow did I do it? By focusing on three critical components while I was building my business to ensure that when an opportunity like this presented itself, I wouldn’t have to hesitate and could jump at the chance to go travel.\n\nBefore we get into the meat and potatoes of this post, I should make it clear that there are all kinds of ways to build a business that brings in “passive income”. I hate that term, but let’s call a spade a spade for this illustration. Many of the ways you can do it are extremely shady and aren’t things I do or advocate.\n\nNo, I’ll be sharing the three most critical aspects of my business where people are the most important component and the last thing I’d ever want to do is screw someone over.\n\nNow onto our three components.\n\nThere’s one thing I try and give total priority when I’m on the road. No it’s not a blog posting schedule (obviously), nor is it an increased emphasis on affiliate links or other ways of making money.\n\nIt’s relationship cultivation. I’ve hardly done any creative work over the last month. I have all kinds of projects that I essentially put on hold to go and actually live life a little bit – but I always did my best to respond to emails when people sent them to me.\n\nI usually get about 10-20 emails a day from new blog readers that are writing to tell me about their story, tell me how excited they are they found the site, or simply wanting to say hi.\n\nThat’s where I devote my time. I do my very best to respond to every email I receive that was sent by someone who actually put some thought into the message.\n\nWhy is this so important?\n\nBecause the only way I can make “passive income” is when people buy something. Why would anyone buy something from me if I can’t even respond to a simple email?\n\nLet’s take this a step further though and really hammer home the importance of this.\n\nIf you have a relationship with your customers, they also give you more leeway.\n\nWhen people inside Location Rebel know I’m on the road, and send an email asking a question they are much more willing to cut me some slack then if there was no previous relationship.\n\nFor me this takes SO much stress off my shoulders. I’m not saying it gives me a reason to get complacent, but it does give me the ability to enjoy my time away from my computer without having to stress about every little thing going wrong.\n\nThat being siad, it also doesn’t hurt that I have the most badass relationship manager ever in Liz to help manage the forums and other member inquiries.\n\nBottom line, if you cultivate your relationships not only will you continue to see money come in while you’re away from you computer, you’re existing customers will be even happier in the process.\n\nI was in the middle of nowhere – Yangshuo, China to be exact. My time was spent mountain biking, hiking, and basically doing anything but sitting in front of my computer.\n\nThen I received an email from my business partner with the subject: “WTF?”\n\nWhat had happened was the Google Penguin update went live, and one of my bigger sources of income had been cut down by 80% overnight. There were a couple hours of freakout, especially considering internet was difficult to come by there, but then I realized that this is exactly what I knew would happen at some point and that I’d prepared for.\n\nAt any given time I have no less than a dozen different income streams. Some very minor and others not so much, but if one of them gets cut off I know that I’m still in good shape.\n\nThis is what I call Job Security 2.0.\n\nIf I was on vacation from a day job and my boss sent me an email saying I was gone – then it would have been a much different story.\n\nOver time, without proper maintenance ALL passive income streams will dwindle or disappear altogether. It’s just the way it works. So if you want to build a sustainable business over the long term, and not some flash-in-the-pan-get-rich-quick scheme, then you’ll need to diversify and expand your income streams as quickly as it makes sense.\n\nSome ways to do this:\n\nThe more you diversify the greater your chance of earning a substantial passive income regardless of how much time and effort you’re putting into the business.\n\nDISCLAIMER: This is the big “but”. This all takes time to setup and won’t happen over night – so don’t expect it to. Start working on it now to prepare for the future. It’s taken me over three years to get where I’m at now, and I still have a long ways to go.\n\nI almost made #3 “Putting Effort in on the Front End”, which is totally true, but I think straight up giving a shit, encompasses and trumps that.\n\nSo many people just don’t care. They don’t care about value, people, building a real business…all they care about is themselves and making money by any means necessary.\n\nIt’s kind of ironic how really, truly caring about your business is what gives you the ability to forget about it for short periods of time while you travel or have other types of adventures.\n\nIf you really care about the people you’re trying to help, in the long term good things will happen – I promise. Why? Because that sets you apart from the vast majority of people who simply don’t care.\n\nSo think about this from square one. Are you starting your passive income business simply to make money? Or are you doing it because you really want to make a difference in the lives of others…and make some money in the process? There’s a big difference.\n\nThere’s nothing wrong with wanting to make money, selling products or services, or wanting to do it all while chilling on a beach. That doesn’t make you a bad person, and it’s a fantastic dream to have that millions of people share.\n\nBut you have to care. You have to want to do it in a way that benefits more than just you.\n\nSo think about that first.\n\nAsk yourself: “How can I create something that makes a difference in one person’s life?”\n\nThen worry about the money, because when done correctly, believe me, it will come."

"Improved graphics, additional storyline, new classes to play, new abilities; there is so much to look forward to in 2018 gaming.",
null,
"I am an avid gamer, and I like to keep track of upcoming games. There are so many to choose from, a lot seem to be the next chapter of already existing games, which aren't always interesting to me.\n\nWhat I look for in a game is awesome graphics, without major strain on my computer; an interesting story line; new types of characters, other than the usual classes most often seen; quests that contribute to gameplay and gear collection, be they cosmetic or stat adding; and the ability to play solo as well as group up.\n\nSo while I'm scouting new games I watch a lot of trailers, read a lot of announcements, check system requirements, and what platform the game will be available on. I prefer PC, and the ability to pause somewhere semi-safe to run and do something for my kids, or handle an assignment and then come back to where I left off without losing any lives, XP, or getting KS'd on a mob I'm camping or PK'd.\n\nI absolutely hate some of the methods PK'rs use, so I try to avoid games that offer PK without the option to be NPK. 2018 is supposed to be a huge year for new releases so I have been checking the trailers and con reviews to see what's coming.\n\nHere are my top 5 picks for games of 2018 that will blow your mind! Most of these are initially only available on PS4, but they eventually become available on other platforms.\n\nAvailable On: PS4 in pre-order\n\n\"Travel to the near-future metropolis of Detroit – a city rejuvenated by an exciting technological development: androids. Witness your brave new world turn to chaos as you take on the role of Kara, a female android trying to find her own place in a turbulent social landscape. Shape an ambitious branching narrative, making choices that will not only determine your own fate, but that of the entire city. Discover what it means to be human from the perspective of an outsider – see the world of man though the eyes of a machine.\" (Sony Interactive Entertainment)\n\nAvailable On: Xbox One\n\n\"Spark the fires of resistance against a fanatic cult\n\nStranded in hostile territory, find strength in the community around you to lead a resistance against a cult taking over Hope County, Montana. Ally with a Friend For Hire to take down the cult in a two-player co-op experience that extends across the full campaign.\n\nA world that evolves\n\nPlay your way against Joseph Seed and his fanatical followers in a dynamic open world that adapts and reacts to the choices you make. The Resistance Meter evolves the world in meaningful ways as you progress; every action you take moves your story forward. Command specialized Fangs For Hire, animals you can control to support any playstyle.\n\nCarve your own path\n\nThe freedom to go in any direction – you decide the when, the where, and the how. From the moment you enter Hope County you have the freedom to tackle the world in any order you choose. For the first time in Far Cry, you are the hero of the story – choose your own avatar and customize your character.\n\nTear up the countryside in iconic American vehicles you can make your own; from muscle cars to big rigs, from ATVs to tractors. Commandeer a plane to engage cult forces in an epic aerial dogfight or bombing run.\" (Ubisoft Entertainment)\n\nAvailable On: PS4 in Pre-Order\n\n\"His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive…And teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series—satisfying combat; breathtaking scale; and a powerful narrative—and fuses them anew. Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to fulfill a deeply personal quest.\" (Sony Interactive Entertainment)\n\nAvailable On: PS4 in pre-order\n\nacross the American frontier to help bring the rule of law. Experience intense\n\nJohn Marston struggles to bury his blood-stained past, one man at a time.\" Sony Interactive Entertainment\n\nThis game has had several speculated release dates, including 2018, which is why I included it here. So far it is hard to find concrete info about it.\n\n\"Details are limited at the moment but it’s safe to say that Witcher 4 will be one hell of a game! What do you think the next Witcher story will be like without Geralt? Do you think Ciri, Yennefer, and Triss will be back in Witcher 4?\" (Gamers Greed)\n\nWhat are your favorites of the upcoming new releases?"

"Disclosure: We were graciously hosted by the folks at Walt Disney World to give you the scoop on Mickey’s not-So-Scary Halloween Party! All opinions are my own! #NotSoScary\n\nMy daughter was around nine when she went to her first Mickey’s not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) and she enjoyed it plenty. But, I remember wondering if she would still love it when she got older.\n\nThe truth? She probably enjoys it more these days. There are so many super fun things to do when teens attend that, for me, it’s a no-brainer to continue to attend with my teen. Here are the must-dos when you do as well.\n\nOn a regular day in Magic Kingdom, guests over the age of 14 aren’t allowed to dress up in a costume. We are allowed to Disneybound, but it’s a toned down version of channeling our favorite Disney characters.\n\nBUT, during a MNSSHP, all guests may dress in costume, including teens and adults. Of course, Disney World has applied rules to Halloween Party costume guidelines, but there’s a wide range for possibilities.\n\nSome teens decide to wear Halloween t-shirts and shorts; others like to go all out. The choice is totally theirs.\n\n1. Hop on Rides and Attractions with Much Shorter Wait Times\n\nMickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties have attendance caps on them, so even the busiest of party nights offer shorter wait times for popular rides. Depending on your teen, and you family’s preference, he/she may want to hop on some rides while you are holding your family’s spot for the Boo to You! Halloween Parade.\n\nMy daughter is 17, so I feel confident with giving her some theme park freedom to walk around without parents by her side. Of course, you know your teen best, so you be the judge of appropriateness.\n\n2. Check Out the Enhanced Party Overlays on Rides and Attractions",
null,
"The past couple of Halloween Party seasons, Disney World has enhanced a few of the Magic Kingdom rides with fun overlays:\n\nBy my teen’s liking, Space Mountain was definitely the coolest in her eyes. We rode with her and music, combined with the lack of any light, was really cool.\n\n3. Trick-or-Treat with All the Candy\n\nDuring the Party, the trick-or-treat paths are really popular and there’s good reason: Disney definitely doesn’t splurge on passing out Halloween candy. This year, we hit only two during the party and, between the three of us, ended up with an entire bag of candy!\n\nIf your teen has a food allergy, don’t worry about them feeling left out: Disney World has made special provisions. When they enter, ask for a special trick-or-treat bag. At each treat stop, your teen will receive a token to turn in at the end of the night for allergy-friendly treats and goodies.",
null,
"A huge draw to MNSSHP is the fact that there are plenty of elusive Disney characters available for meet and greets – and that includes the Disney Villains. Along with Moana, Tarzan, and the Seven Dwarfs, this year’s M&Gs included Jafar, Jack & Sally Skellington, Lotso’, and Cruella de Vil. Jack and Sally are always super popular, but Lotso’ from Toy Story is as well.\n\nIf you have a teen that likes to be cool, taking him/her to a MNSSHP gives the chance to channel their inner child. They can trick-or-treat, watch the new fireworks show, Disney’s Not-So-Scary Spooktacular (we’ve seen it twice this season – so good!), and catch the Boo to You! Halloween Parade. It’s these events that really make the Party a one-of-a-kind event in Magic Kingdom, so make sure to find a good viewing area early."

"From Footpaths to Expressways and Beyond Volume Six\n\nJoin the author in reliving Sylvanias over 180 years of history from footpaths to expressways and beyond, in volume six of an eight-volume set. With over 30 years of research, she has included every subject imaginable that helped bring Sylvania to where they are today: with excellent schools, over-the-top parks and recreation, rich beautiful homes, commercial and industrial businesses, and a quaint historical downtown that looks like it was planned by Norman Rockwell himself. This book is a treasure trove of information for the thousands who have ancestors that once lived and helped Sylvania grow through these years. Located in Northwestern Ohio, Sylvania is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio, and for many years has been known as the fastest growing suburb in Lucas County. A once-rural farm community between both the city and township, they have grown from a combined 2,220 residents in 1910, to 48,487 in 2010. Over a short period of time, the land has transformed into beautiful subdivisions of grand houses so that now, their subdivision names are all that remain to remind them of their once-dense forests and sprawling farmlands. No longer can Sylvania be called the bedroom community of Toledo because over the last 50 years, they have done a lot more than sleep."

"Cacao grows on tropical trees and is native to Central and South America. It is the main ingredient in chocolate, but it is increasingly consumed for its nutritional value as well as its taste.\n\nCacao is high in magnesium, which supports the nervous system and reduces tiredness, stress and fatigue. It also has a high antioxidant content, which is known to help fight off the effects of ageing, by reducing oxidative-stress cell damage.\n\nCacao nibs are an easy way to incorporate more nutrients in your diet by using them as a baking ingredient, as a dessert topping or eaten as a snack.\nThe cacao used to make Green Origins Organic Cacao Nibs is grown in South America, its native region. The cacao trees are found on the lower story of the evergreen rainforest as they thrive in humid temperatures with fairly constant rainfall, these conditions encourage optimum organic growth.\n\nCacao beans grow in green pods, which are hand-picked from the tree and the flesh surrounding the beans is then allowed to ferment away. This enhances the bean’s unique flavour and reduces their bitterness. The beans are then broken into small pieces known as nibs. Cacao beans and nibs are very nearly the rawest form in which Cacao can be consumed.\n\nAs beans and nibs are minimally processed, an optimum amount of their nutritional value is retained.\n\nCacao is a source of calcium, copper and manganese, which support digestive and cardiovascular health. It is also high in magnesium, which supports the nervous system and reduces stress, tiredness and fatigue.\n\nCacao is known for its antioxidant content, and these properties are thought to help fight off the effects of ageing, by reducing oxidative-stress cell damage.\n\nIt is recommended that you take up to 2-3 tablespoons per day. Cacao nibs can be used as a baking ingredient, added to other foods or eaten as a snack.\n\nThis product should not be used as a substitute for a varied balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the suggested use. Store your Cacao Nibs in a cool, dry place."

"A 63-year-old Italian man, Michele Santelia has achieved a world record by typing copies of 81 books backwards, a technique that he calls ‘mirror writing’, as per a report by the Guinness World Records (GWR). For the purpose of this record, the books must be typed using ‘mirror writing’, such that the result is the mirror image of any given language’s normal writing.\n\nMichele’s latest book, Das Nibelungenlied Backwards, a medieval German heroic epic, was typed in 2022. Michele dedicated it to “the disabled people of the whole world; to all those who suffer daily in a bigoted and clumsy society.”\n\nAn overview of the news"

"Prime Minister Scott Morrison has denounced the idea that there should be a full independent investigation into the rape allegations against Attorney-General Christian Porter. Mr Morrison has expressed concern that an investigation would lead to the end of Mr Porter’s presumption of innocence by actually finding the answer.\n\n“There needs to be a presumption of innocence and we will lose that if we know whether he is innocent,” said the PM while trying to figure out if an International Women’s Day photo-op will make this all go away, “it is of paramount importance justice be served by not taking part in justice. It is how my government has always been run.”\n\n“It’s like I told Jenny this morning, you have to look at these things from a bro’s perspective first. When your bro is in trouble, you got to do anything you can to help your bro out. It is just how it is. I don’t want this issue to be hanging over him while him and I are hanging with every one of our journalist bros at the bar. I may not hold a hose, but I do know how to hold up my bros.”\n\n“I think everyone can agree that we would hate for this matter to get out of hand. Look we don’t know what happened that night, I still haven’t read the letter, but what we do know is that we don’t want to find out what happened. There is nothing suspicious about that.”"

"Fundraising can have tangible benefits for your career or business. And it can be really fun. That’s the main takeaway of Donate & Learn, a community-focused initiative led by Toronto-based entrepreneur Bassem Ghali, who launched the charitable workshops-cum-expos in 2012 just months after founding Green Lotus, an online marketing services consultancy.\n\nAs Ghali explains, he wanted to utilize his online expertise and network of marketing professionals to give something back. When he discussed possibilities with his friends Stephanie Abouatallah and Richard Marginson — then social media mangers at Canadian Tire and Via Rail — they brainstormed Donate & Learn.\n\nThe idea is simple. Small business owners, entrepreneurs, bloggers or anyone else hoping to gain a leg up in the online world through marketing and social media pay a tax-deductible $20 to rub shoulders with an array of industry experts, who deliver talks and participate in panels during an evening session. The experts volunteer their time, attendees get valuable tips for a small outlay of cash and 100 percent of profits benefit charity.\n\nGhali and his partners aren’t the only ones who think Donate & Learn is solid. In May 2013, the initiative gained the support of GoDaddy, a hugely successful domain registrar and web hosting company. “I mean, have you ever seen GoDaddy sponsor any event in Canada before?” Ghali enthuses. “To get that support inspired and encouraged us. And it just went from there.”\n\nDonate & Learn also got props from John Shehata, executive director of search and social for ABC News, who flew in from New York to be keynote speaker at the May 2013 workshop, along with Sally Chung, senior account manager at Google Canada.\n\n“When we talk to people about this event, we really focus on three major points,” Ghali tells Samaritanmag. “First and obviously, the fundraising portion of it. Second, the quality of the information.\n\n“I’ve attended lots of events in my life and heard lots of ridiculous discussions and sessions. So we always ask our speakers to focus on things like to-do lists that will empower people to go home and actually do something to impact their business. The third point we always talk about is the fun portion.\n\n“Fun moments at events are what people remember so we have the little piglet [Doug, the event mascot and star of a video advertisement]; we have a media wall; we have contests and prizes coming out of our ying-yang — we have more than 12 raffle prizes.”\n\nTo wit: attendees are eligible to enter the Donate & Learn Super Fan Contest on Facebook for a chance to win an Xbox or one of five lifetimes passes.",
null,
"Indeed, anyone who knows Ghali (disclosure: he and I worked together briefly at the Toronto Star’s New in Homes online portal) knows he has zero patience for anything that doesn’t capture his fast-tracking mind. Donate & Learn, with its top-flight speakers and packed agenda, offers heaps of information and value for money.\n\nAsked how he selects the recipient charities, Ghali explains: “We basically work with whoever believes in us and wants to support us and feels as excited about this as we do.\n\n“YWCA hosted the first event. We were introduced to Big Brothers Big Sisters because the events manager used to work at YWCA and it went from there. Because this is a community project and we want it to be run by the community, we are in the process of staging a Facebook contest where people can vote for their favorite charity.”\n\nGhali continues: “We signed a partnership with Ryerson University and they are providing us with a venue for free which is the biggest issue for any fundraising event. Plus we have a small army of students at Ryerson who actually run [event benefactor] Project Pathway through their Enactus worldwide co-curricular program, so they are helping with all sorts of logistical things.”\n\nGhali confirms that he draws no salary from the event and while he has considered expanding Donate & Learn into other cities, “It’s really tough. Unless we find a company that believes in us and sees the future of it and can help fund it, we would not be able to.\n\n“The idea is there, the passion if there, the team is there but budget is a major issue. And Green Lotus always pitches in with the media, the catering… we always end up paying anywhere between $2,000 to $5,000 per event just to get it up and running.”\n\nThat a social media marketing expert could successfully execute an event based on online strategy shouldn’t be a complete surprise. Still, Ghali demurs on the proficiency point, preferring instead to aim the spotlight back at the community.\n\n“The main question in making this fly was, ‘What’s the double benefit?’ If you ask someone to donate $20 for a great cause, most people would say yes. But if you want them to leave their homes and come to an event, you have to figure out what’s in it for them.\n\n“So with expert speakers from GoDaddy, Microsoft, Google, TekSavvy and the value of that information combined with the right noise we make on social media, I think all of these factors combine to make a successful fundraising event. But it would not happen without the support of the people.\n\n“No matter how smart or expert we are, we are operating on a tiny budget. We couldn’t do it without community support.”"

"The Yankees have signed right-hander Shelby Miller, as per a staff press launch. Miller has been invited to the Yankees’ huge league spring camp.\n\nNonetheless solely 31 years previous, Miller is finest identified for his time with the Cardinals and Braves, when he posted a 3.22 ERA over 575 1/3 innings from 2012-15. With a third-place end in NL Rookie Of The 12 months voting and an All-Star look in 2015, Miller appeared like one in every of baseball’s burgeoning younger pitching stars, however he merely was by no means the identical after being dealt to the Diamondbacks in a now-infamous trade for Arizona followers.\n\nMiller struggled in 2016 partially on account of a finger damage, after which pitched solely 38 extra innings throughout his D’Backs tenure on account of Tommy John surgical procedure. Since then, Miller has bounced round to 4 completely different groups making an attempt to revive his profession, most not too long ago pitching for the Cubs and Pirates in 2021. The righty had a mixed 9.24 ERA over 12 2/3 huge league innings final season, however a minimum of his Triple-A statistics (2.96 ERA, 37.75% strikeout price over 24 1/3 IP) supplied some trigger for optimism.\n\nWhereas Miller technically made 4 Triple-A begins final 12 months, they had been extra of the abbreviated selection, and he appears to be kind of a full-time reduction pitcher at this level in his profession. New York would be the newest staff to try to get Miller on monitor, and he would hardly be the primary ex-starter to discover a second act as a viable reliever. At the price of a minor league deal, there’s no danger for the Yankees in seeing what Miller has in camp, and maybe stashing him at Triple-A ought to he settle for the project. Given the comparatively brief time between now and Opening Day, it doesn’t appear to be Miller has a shot at breaking camp with the staff.",

"The Pagan tree and forest plants",
null,
"Trees, herbs, and plants are very important to Druids. They represent their sacred alphabet, they are used for healing, and many Druids name themselves after trees. Trees are the connection between the realms. Ireland was said to be divided into four lands, each occupied by a sacred tree with a fifth tree at the center.\n\nThe five most important trees are the oak, rowan, birch, apple, and yew:\n\nThe oak is connected with strength, protection, and stability. Some say that the very word Druid derives from duir, the old word for oak.\n\nThe rowan is useful for protection, youth, and prophecy.\n\nThe birch is symbolic of beginnings, renewal, regeneration, and cleansing. It is also associated with the bard.\n\nThe apple tree is the tree of life and is said to reside at the center of the otherworld.\n\nThe yew is associated with death and decay because it is very poisonous, but this unique evergreen tree also lives for thousands of years. It is related to the ovate and is frequently found near sacred wells.\n\nOther trees, such as the ash, willow, and hawthorn also frequently appear in mythology and legend.\n\nForemost among the herbs and plants most revered by Druids is mistletoe. Mistletoe is a parasite frequently found growing on oaks. It is said that mistletoe, which grows off trees rather than from roots in the earth, must never be allowed to touch the earth. It is sometimes called all-heal, but it is poisonous, so use it with caution. Verbena, or vervain, is gathered at Midsummer, whereas mistletoe is gathered at Midwinter. It is used as an offering to the gods. It is also considered a cure-all and is said to ward against evil spirits.",

"This herb has been used in medicine for centuries, although in the 20th century, particularly in Portugal it was hailed as a folk cancer remedy when the powdered leaves were taken with a raw, fresh egg yolk. Of course this has not been proven to work. Dioscorides described it and it was known to the old herbalists, who used it mainly for blood problems, as the stalks and leaves turn bright red in autumn, a sign to these old herbalists that it was good for the blood.\n\nThis plant is known by around a hundred names some of which refer to other plants more often, such as bloodwort (red dock), and red robin (not ragged robin) and cranesbill, which is native to the US and poisonous. However Stinking Bob is a name given to this herb which is unique to it, and refers to the smell given off by its bruised leaves. It is also called the Fox Geranium, some say because of its “foxy” smell after rain. It is native to hedgerows and woodland in Europe the British isles included, and to temperate Asia as it grows as far east as Japan and in the Himalayan regions.\n\nNo one really knows how it became Herb Robert, although there are several contenders for being its namesake, including Robert Duke of Normandy, who died in 1134, St Robert of Molesme, a French monk who died in 1110, and Robin Goodfellow or Puck, the mischievous elf who has a role in Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The Latin name Robertianum might be a corruption of ruber meaning red, rather than referring to any specific Robert, Robin or Rupert, names that seemed to have been linked to this plant.\n\nThe leaves of Herb Robert are the main part of the plant used for medicinal purposes and an infusion of these has been drunk and used as a wash for the skin, and for inflammation of the eyes. A poultice of the leaves has been used to relieve hardened breasts, to increase lactation in nursing mothers, to relieve irritated skin and the pain of rheumatism and reduce bruising, as well as being applied to herpes sores and ulcers. The infusion can also be used for the same external purposes."

"Our good friends at Jalopnik’s sister site Truck Yeah have posted a very cool story about a vintage Ford Bronco running in the 2018 NORRA Mexican 1000.\n\nThis video provides a glimpse into the grit and drive it takes to win the insane 1300+ mile off-road race from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, Mexico.\n\nFor anyone that has had the opportunity to experience Laguna Seca in person knows how challenging of a track it is to drive so it is no wonder this video is getting lots of traction online. Posted recently, by our friends over at Jalopnik, the video is from this past weekend’s BMW CCA Club Racing Oktoberfest event at the Northern California track. It was shot from behind the wheel of an E46 M3 race car driven by the talented driver and coach Anthony Magagnoli of DriveFasterNow.com.\n\nTurn up the volume and watch in awe as Anthony drives his M3 from last to first in just three laps, despite a failing ABS system and a very loud sound that later turned out to be the exhaust mid-pipe falling off the header. Bravo Anthony! Bravo!\n\nWe have to thank the gang over at Jalopnik for finding this one. Not sure whether to love or hate the guy so I will let you decide but it’s unique nonetheless. I never would have thought skeet shooting and Porsche 911 Targa would be in the same sentence but alas it is here.\n\nWith every passing day this VW scandal seems to be getting bigger so now seemed like a good time as any to take a closer look.",

"And Jalopnik has gone ahead and done us a solid with this article that explains how the whole mess started with VW attempting to cost cut. I’m no litigation expert but after reading this it appears that things may still get a lot worse before they get better. It truly is a big f’ing mess that will likely take a few years to sort out. I do feel sorry for the thousands of workers around the world and all the secondary industry folks who had nothing to do with this but will be severely affected. I sincerely hope VW puts its best men and women on the case and is able to come out of this a better company in the future.\n\nWe wanted to share a very unique story we came across on Jalopnik. A proud Dad to be from Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee came up with a totally cool way of sharing the news of his baby gender reveal. We always appreciate a guy who incorporates cars into important family milestones!\n\nAs an owner of an import performance tuning business, George (the Dad) of Custom Concept Motorsports came up with the idea to fit his wife Coir’s turbo Toyota Supra with coloured smoke tires and do one massive burnout for friends and family. Who knew they even made these things but apparently they do. He had the speciality tires shipped to his shop from his friends at East Coast Customs all the way in Brisbane, Australia. The colour would be blue if they were having a boy and red/pink if it was a girl. The results speak for themselves in the video below. George can do a serious burnout too!\n\nMany of you likely saw the video Pepsi Max created last year that went on to become a huge viral hit. We are talking about this one that showed a disguised Jeff Gordon (champion NASCAR driver) taking a local dealership salesman on the wildest ride of his life. That video was supposedly captured on a hidden camera but actually ended up being debunked as a fraudulent video by Travis Okulski, a writer for Gawker Media’s Jalopnik blog.\n\nA year has now passed since the first video and Pepsi MAX and Jeff Gordon apparently had something to prove so they have created a follow-up Jeff Gordon 2.0 video. By all accounts this new video is for real and destined to become another massive viral hit as it’s already at over 13 million views.\n\nAlthough Travis is getting some serious online coverage within the mainstream media it must be slightly humbling since the world can now watch him scream like a little girl in the video."

"Facebook Twitter LinkedIn\nPolice in southern Germany have prevented a planned Islamist attack, a German newspaper reported on Thursday, adding that a married couple had been arrested overnight after weapons and explosives were found in their home.\nPolice said they could not confirm Die Welt's report of the operation in the town of Oberursel, near Germany's financial capital Frankfurt. But a news conference was scheduled for 4.30 p.m.\nDie Welt only identified the couple by their first names and initial – Halil and Senay D. The paper's website said Halil had links to the Salafist scene in Frankfurt and the al Qaeda network. It did not identify the source for its report.\nPolice began surveillance after the couple bought large quantities of chemicals that could be used to make home-made bombs and started using false names, Die Welt said.\nPolice also found an assault rifle and ammunition at their home, the paper added. Officials at the interior ministry and the public prosecutors' office in the state of Hesse declined to comment on the report.\nSalafists advocate a puritanical form of Islam and Germany's BfV domestic intelligence agency says their numbers are rising, as is the number of potential recruits for Islamic State.\nThe BfV estimates that 450 people from Germany have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join radical jihadist forces.\nTags\nFrankfurt germany terrorist attack",

"\"It's depressing, it sucks\" - JJ Watt reacts to Houston Texans' 0-4 start to the season\n\n\"We have yet to put ourselves in a situation where we have a lead almost at any point, so that we put them in tough situations.\"\n\nA frustrated J.J. Watt admitted it's been a 'depressing' start to the season for the Houston Texans as they slipped to 0-4 with a 31-23 defeat at home to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.\n\nDalvin Cook ran all over Watt and the Texans defense with 130 rushing yards and two touchdowns off 27 carries, while Adam Thielen and rookie Justin Jefferson both put up 100-yard receiving games.\n\nWhat's more, a fourth straight defeat for Houston came against a Vikings side that had looked short of any inspiration on either side of the ball through the opening three weeks.\n\n\"All I can do is control what I can control,\" said Watt. \"I'm gonna come in, I'm gonna work hard. I'm gonna try and find a way. Do whatever possible this week to find a way to get a win.\n\n\"We have yet to put ourselves in a situation where we have a lead almost at any point, so that we put them in tough situations.\"\n\nThe Texans currently have the worst rushing defense in the NFL and sit fifth-worst in scoring defense on the back of their Week Four loss.\n\nDeshaun Watson finished 20 of 33 passing for 300 yards and two touchdowns, with Will Fuller making six catches for 103 yards and a score. Nonetheless, their Pro Bowl quarterback continues to miss the contested catch prowess of DeAndre Hopkins, whose ability to make game-changing plays Fuller, for all his deep threat exploits, is unable to replace.",

"Houston failed to turn any of their three trips to the red zone into touchdowns and were just three of 12 on third down conversions.\n\nThe Texans continue their season at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, with Romeo Crennel taking charge as interim head coach following the firing of Bill O'Brien on Monday."

"While the Covid-19 economic downturn is being felt in world dairy markets, other commodities have fared far worse. Moreover, there is reason to believe that a balanced market recovery lurks just over the horizon.\nThis is partly because even when Covid-19 struck, prices where far below recent historical norms. Global Dairy Trade's (GDT) index average peaked at US$3,434/tonne in late January –31% below its US$5,000+/tonne records set in 2013.\nCovid-19 counterbalanced falling Q1 New Zealand milk production, dragging the GDT index down to US$2,956/tonne by mid-April –more than 40% below its all-time peak. With both America and Europe in an economic free fall, Western consumers are poised to cut their dairy consumption. This may force US and EU producers to shift unsold domestic surpluses into world markets. That could cause serious deflation, especially in the second half of this year.\nOn the other hand, compared to 30%+ price drops for beef cattle and many other commodities, the GDT index only fell 13.5% from mid-January to mid-April. At ground level, Fonterra has targeted a 2019-20 farmgate milk solids price of NZ$7.30/kg (US$4.38/kg), giving trend giving New Zealand farms good H1 2020 returns. With Covid-19 clouding the economic outlook, it could fall under NZ$6.00/kg for the 2020-21 season. That's far below the NZ$8.30/kg record but should the rains fail in Australia or New Zealand fail, feed costs are significantly lower than when GDT's price record was set seven years ago.\nWhile short-term dairy prices have nowhere to go but down, world dairy demand is holding up well for the same reason it fell: China, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia. From just 2.6% of WMP, SMP, butter, cheese and fluid milk imports two decades ago, China bought 46.3% of world imports for these dairy goods in 2019. China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia now buy over 60% of these dairy commodities by volume –and this is very good news for dairy exporters.\n\nOur focus article on beef already detailed how well Chinese, Japanese and South Korean beef import volumes have held up despite the ongoing Covid-19 epidemic, especially when compared to US or European beef consumption.\nThe same holds for dairy consumption: Even in its April, coronavirus adjusted projections, the USDA forecasts that China's dairy goods consumption will continue rising. This will lead to higher 2020 Chinese import volumes of WMP(+8.6%), SMP(+2.9%), butter(+12.5%) and cheese(+13.0%). Despite falling 4.4%, Chinese fluid milk imports will enjoy their second-best year ever (860,000 tonnes), some 27.8% more milk than what China imported in 2018.\nFor South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia, even after factoring in coronavirus, the USDA expects their 2020 demand to rise anywhere from nominally positive to several percent for almost all the above dairy lines. This means the combined volume increase of imported dairy powders SMP(+4.9%) and WMP(+3.8%) outweighs the imported volume change for cheese (+3.9%), butter (-2.0%) and milk (-3.3%).\nWith world dairy powder import volumes and aggregate revenues exceeding those for fatty goods, the world dairy market outlook remains positive over the longer term, despite the prospect of further deflation this year. With dairy powders getting noticeably more market support than fluid milk or fatty goods, the price gap between the two should continue narrowing –just as it was doing so, before Q1's coronavirus demand shock.\nUnusually large post-2014 price disparities between product lines can be seen in the attached GDT graph. For most of the decade before 2014, prices for WMP, SMP, butter, cheese, and milk stayed close to the GDT index price average. Dairy powders usually traded above the GDT index average while fatty dairy goods sold below the average.\n\nThe reverse has been true since 2014 when China's appetite for fatty dairy goods started growing much faster than its need for dairy powders. This reflects long term demographic trends in both China and Southeast Asia. They favor rapid western fast food expansion and rising consumption of western dairy and bakery goods, all of which require fatty dairy commodities. Since 2014, butter and cheese have traded anywhere from 30% to 210% higher than SMP and WMP, whereas they once sold at up to 30% discounts to dairy powders.\n--Even so, in the year before Q1 2020's market downturn, dairy powders, butter, and cheese had finally started converging closer to the GDT average price –approaching the same market balanced state they were in prior to 2014. Thereafter, with China's appetite for imported butter and cheese growing faster than SMP and WMP consumption, the latter slumped in price far more than the former.\nWhen the dairy market crash ended, dairy powders slumped; fatty good and fluid milk rebounded to near their all-time highs while butter set a new price record. With the liberalized EU dumped its surplus SMP into Asian markets around this time, causing it to fall in price more than WMP.\nAll this also reflects China and The Far East's new role as a world dairy market driver. China's world market share of these five dairy commodities was 2.6% in 2001 and 3.7% by 2008 when melamine contamination was found in China's milk supply. At that time, China imported only nominal quantities of WMP and SMP, and almost no fatty dairy commodities or fluid milk.\nSix years later when 2014's dairy market crash occurred, China's share of these dairy commodity imports had jumped to 35.0%, with most of it accounted for by WMP and SMP. This year it accounts for 46% of these five world dairy imports but it now dominates or co-dominates higher value product lines.\nIt still dominates world WMP imports (57.8%) but now it also rules the market for fluid milk imports (63.4%). When the imports of its North and Southeast Asian neighbors are added in, China co-dominates many other dairy markets. With help from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, China co-dominates world imports of butter (48%, China 27.8%), cheese (48%, China 8.7%) and SMP (76.6%, China 23.8%).",
null,
"While imports of butter, cheese, and fluid milk grew aggressively since 2014, the growth was due to China, with North and Southeast Asia providing lessor shares –but demand in the rest of the world either was flat or fell. On the other hand, the years since 2017 have seen China's import volume for SMP surge to new highs while WMP demand is finally back at previous levels.\nThese Far Eastern dairy growth locomotives were far less economically impacted by the corona virus than western dairy exporting nations. They were the first to fall to coronavirus and the first to recover. By H2 2020, they will be in a position to need more dairy powders and fats –just as surpluses build up in western nations.\nThis will cushion the current ongoing fall in dairy prices, keeping exports of various dairy product lines growing or static in 2020. Going into 2021, with dairy powders once more leading import growth, we will see the beginnings of a new dairy market upturn: One where the price disparities between powders and fatty goods start to narrow considerably –and firmly dominated by rapidly growing East Asian consumption."

"During its E3 2021 showcase, Microsoft announced Pirates of the Caribbean for Sea of Thieves and Top Gun: Maverick content for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and it’s potentially a very big deal.\n\nSea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life has just been released yesterday, starring Jack Sparrow and his gang in a rather sizable expansion, propelling the game to top of the best-sellers list on Steam, where it still sits at the moment of this writing.\n\nThe Top Gun: Maverick expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator will come in November, following the release of the game on Xbox Series X|S (on July 27) by a few months and matching the debut of the film.\n\nOf course, the fact that both expansions are completely free for players of both games certainly adds to their value. Collaborations with popular IPs aren’t exactly an innovation, but they’re usually most widespread in mobile games, which use them often to achieve a steady stream of popularity spikes and grab the attention of potential new users.\n\nLooking at A Pirate’s Life, Microsoft seems to strongly believe in this kind of tactic for its own games-as-a-service. It’s a lot of fully-voiced bespoke content, which means that the budget for its creation must have been considerable.\n\nYet, it’s undeniable that it’s a match made of heaven for Sea of Thieves. The game shares Pirates of the Caribbeans’ comedic atmosphere, and the possible overlap between the two fanbases is obvious, as it allows fans to live out their dream of creating their own Jack Sparrow and Black Pearl.\n\nIt’s rather safe to assume that a sizable percentage of Pirates of the Caribbean fans will be charmed by the Sea of Thieves’ atmosphere, which is so similar to something they already enjoy, and may continue playing it in the future.\n\nThe Top Gun-themed expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a bit more mysterious in nature. We know that there will be a flyable F/A-18E Super Hornet, a carrier, and possibly another aircraft.\n\nGiven the nature of the simulator, I certainly wouldn’t expect weaponry and dogfights, but the addition of a military aircraft to the already rich lineup is certainly a big attractive, as much as being able to fly it low and fast through the sim’s many canyons.\n\nIt’s certainly not the first batch of content coming to the simulator at no additional cost. Microsoft has been expanding it with bi-monthly World Updates that have already embellished several regions and that’s going to continue in August and for the foreseeable future.\n\nThose are already quite attractive for the audience interested in those regions, but a tie-in with a beloved Hollywood franchise like Top Gun will likely attract a much broader crowd (military aircraft tend to have a wider appeal than civilian ones), and it’s perfectly timed with when the initial popularity surge for the Xbox launch is likely to start slowing down, bringing many right back into the fold on top of attracting plenty of new potential pilots.\n\nEnthusiast simmers who are likely to be already hooked and to be potentially less sensitive to the glitz of a Hollywood tie-in will still have something to look forward to: the addition of the F-18 will pave the way to a proper implementation of afterburners and supersonic flight, which at the moment Microsoft Flight Simulator lacks.\n\nUltimately, I see these collaborations as one of the best ways to do Hollywood tie-ins. We often see the launch bespoke games, but they normally become irrelevant shortly after launch and tend to be light on quality because they focus exclusively on taking advantage of the IP without really providing compelling gameplay experiences.\n\nIn this case, the tie-in content is provided within games that are already great on their own. There is also an obvious overlap between the fanbase of the games and that of the movies, which means that not only existing players are going to appreciate the content, but new ones that came for the tie-in expansion may likely stay for the original game as well.\n\nOf course, the good folks at Microsoft aren’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Both Sea of Thieves and Microsoft Flight Simulator are full-fledged games-as-a-service with extensive monetization schemes. This means that attracting many new users and retaining existing ones is going to likely deliver a very healthy increase in consumer spending within the related marketplaces. Many may even subscribe to Game Pass in order to gain access to the games inexpensively, which certainly doesn’t hurt.\n\nThis is certainly a potential slam dunk for Xbox. While the gaming audience has grown to the point that it may even eclipse Hollywood, movies remain an extremely strong entertainment medium.\n\nDrawing their fanbase to games where it makes sense (and the two tie-ins announced at E3 certainly do make sense) and where they’re welcomed by pre-existing quality that can encourage them to stay is likely a solid move, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more of this going forward."

"Hip hop’s most famous and most influential producer, DJ Khaled, releases his 11th project since coming on to the scene with Lil Wayne in 2005. ‘Grateful’, inspired by Khaled’s eight month old son, Asahd, features once again a plethora of hip hop artists from all different styles of the genre. Khaled (or his son Asahd, as he’s said since the album was in the works) mixes heavy beats and diverse samples and instrumentals to complement the artists who are featured on each song. Although it’s heralded at such a high esteem, the overall project is underwhelming considering the potential and promise it carried up until the official release.\n\nKhaled starts off Grateful with an intro featuring Sizzla, then, four in a row come the singles he released before the album officially dropped, featuring artists like Beyoncé, Jay Z, Drake, Rihanna, Bryson Tiller, Justin Bieber, Quavo of Migos, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne. The album then proceeds to possess a heavy dose of Travis Scott. He’s featured on four songs throughout the latter half of the project, On Everything, It’s Secured, Don’t Quit, and Down for Life. Scott’s haunting yet smooth singing vocals are heavily provided on each of his features, and are one of the stronger parts of the project. Travis Scott continues to build on a strong 2016 into 2017, and he’s only just entering into his prime.\n\nOne of the more controversial aspects of the album was Chance the Rapper’s song with Khaled, I Love You So Much. The song is supposed to be a tribute to both Chance’s daughter, Kensli, and Khaled’s son Asahd. It even has Chance rapping the alphabet among other things that Chance specifically added for his daughter. This song garnered a lot of negative reactions. The song itself didn’t sound terrible, but the subject matter lowers its overall result.\n\nA part of the album that stood out was the song Good Man, featuring Pusha T and Jadakiss. King Push delivered the best verse on the album over an eerie instrumental with soft vocals in the background. Although Pusha T is notorious for delivering great verses, since he’s been doing it for a very long time, Good Man is no exception.\n\nThe overall best song off the entire album was Major Bag Alert featuring Migos. The Atlanta trio continues to build on a strong resurgence following a disappointing 2015 and 2016, starting with their January release Culture, and continuing with many features from the group’s frontman, Quavo. Quavo drops the hook for Major Bag Alert, and the other two members, Offset and Takeoff, deliver fire verses. If there’s one song that fans who were disappointed with the project can enjoy, it’s Major Bag Alert.\n\nGrateful could’ve earned a perfect ten, but it felt like something was missing the entire time. Not enough to give it a bad rating, but enough to not label it as flawless. Hopefully Asahd does better producing the next album!"

"Rallye Rejviz is an International Professional Exercise and Competition for Emergency Medical Service Crews, founded in 1997.\n\nThe Rallye Rejviz was created in 1997 as a part of an EMS Conference celebrating the 20th anniversary of the EMS in Jesenik, the Czech Republic.\n\nBut why a Rally?",
null,
"At every EMS conference, there is an exhibition of medical equipment as well as ambulances. When Jan Marsalek, the manager of RCS Brno, visited one of these meetings, he asked: “Why are all these cars just sitting here? Why don’t they run around?!?” And thus the idea of the rally was born. Dr. Jiri Stana, the organizer of the Conference and director of Jesenik EMS then helped the idea to become a reality.\n\nWhy Rejviz?\nThe name given to this rally is that of a truly magical place Rejviz – in the Jesenik Mountains. It is where the original rally was run and to this day a large part of the rally has been running in and around Rejviz. There is no doubt that rescue work and EMS are physically and emotionally demanding, stressful and often exhausting. Sadly it is also often underpaid and unappreciated by society, which takes it for granted. As a result, many workers become frustrated and disillusioned and sometimes feel that their work is truly that of fools who devote themselves to the service of their fellows.",
null,
"Yet Dr. Michael Moles at the PECEMMS Congress in Opatija said it beautifully:\n“You Czechs have one of the best EMS systems, since you also have the best sponsors!” When we asked who these sponsors were, since the Czech EMS is a goverment directed organization, he replied: “You, he, she, … you are all those sponsors ..” He’s right! We, the rescuers and EMS workers, are the main sponsors and supporters of EMS and we are proud of it! Every dedicated rescuer invests into his occupation plenty of his own leisure time and energy.\n\nCould we not do anything for them? One possibility is to offer them a chance to meet together, interact and thus to recharge their batteries or receive a “transfusion” of energy. This is how the Rallye Rejviz Project came into its existence. The Czech rescuers now meet and cooperate in a different way. In the last several years we have noticed how eagerly this event anticipated is and how much the workers enjoy socializing and meeting together. They share information, learn from each other, and discover that they are not alone.\n\nDuring its existence, the Rallye Rejviz emerged in its present form the methodical work of professional standard crew of emergency medical services while meeting the social workers rescue services. The practical form of competition for this job is rehearsing the coordination of crews during simulated intervention (tasks are designed as a normal hit emergency services) and professional abilities of individual crew members – a doctor, a paramedic and a driver. A great benefit is the exchange of practical experience among emergency services personnel from throughout the Czech Republic and abroad.",
null,
"conceived as a car orienteering competition, complemented by specialized tasks with the theme of emergency medical services. The competition is assessed in a uniform scoring system, the winning crew is the one with the most points.\n\nDuring its existence Rallye Rejviz got high reputation, and took over the professional guarantee of Czech Society for Emergency and Disaster Medicine and Slovak Society of Disaster and Emergency Medicine and became part of professional training of medical emergency services."

"With the 2015 Mobile World Congress in full swing, it only makes sense that this week’s watches to watch for are of the “smart” variety.In the past, smartwatches haven’t been terribly concerned with looking very presentable. They’ve ranged from looking like they were designed by futurists from the 1950’s who also thought we’d all be wearing silver jumpsuits and living in talking houses by now, to “watches” that aren’t much more than glorified, smart-wristbands. LG used this year’s MWC for the official public unveiling of the LG Urbane and LG Urbane LTE. The latter is set to become the world’s first 4G smartwatch, allowing you to make calls, text and access the web without need for tethering.\n\nBoth of these watches were announced last month, but now that people have had an opportunity to see them up close and get hands on with them, the early verdict appears to match the initial promise from the promotional video below: these are smartwatches that actually look like watches. These aren’t catering to the “geek-chic” crowd, these are casting a net for a wider audience.\n\nThe casing for the LG Watch Urbane LTE is a bit larger than that of the LG Urbane, presumably so it can house all of that glorious untethered technology. Both versions of the Urbane have metal casing, removable leather straps, and come in either gold or silver. Purely from a style standpoint–and bearing in mind my general bias against square-faced timepieces–I would take the LG Watch Urbane over the upcoming Apple Watch ten times out of ten.\n\nBut another smart watch might have stepped in from almost nowhere to steal the show at MWC.\n\nThe Huawei Watch is Customizable and Sharp.\n\nIf Huawei is known to the general Western consumer at all, it might be best known for being spied on by the NSA.\n\nWith the Huawei Watch, the company may be putting itself on the map with what’s easily one of the best looking and most stylistically versatile smart watches in the game.\n\nSporting a much more classical design than practically any other smart watch you’ll see, the Huawei Watch has a 42mm case made of stainless steel that comes in color schemes of gold, silver, or black. Sapphire crystal covers the face. Speaking of the face, the Huawei Watch aims to release an insanely ambitious forty different AMOLED rendered “virtual” faces. Combined with the the color options and the two available straps (steel and leather) that’s almost too much potential customization. A watch that can look like 240 different watches doesn’t appear to be very focused on getting any particular design right. I think I’d rather they had focused on maybe two or three classical options for the dial and poured all of the efforts into making those few “virtual faces” as attractive and realistic as possible. But it’s unfair for me to criticize the thing for a mistake I’m only assuming it will make.\n\nFor now, the Huawei Watch’s ambition to be more than just a smart watch, but “a watch that you could wear with a tuxedo,” is far more worthy of applause than skepticism."

"Obesity has become an epidemic, especially in The United States. An average of 300,000 Americans die each year and nearly $177 billion is spent on illnesses related to obesity.\n\nObesity can affect your legs and back. It can raise your blood pressure and even cause diabetes.\n\nWe are becoming fat and lazy, but before we can conquer the problem, we have to start accepting responsibility for our own actions. What you are about to read may offend some people, but it needs to be said.\n\nMany people suffer from being overweight. It may result from a stocky build, slow metabolism, or some other physical reason, but it is a fact of life for many people. They will probably struggle with it their entire lives.\n\nBut obesity is different. A very miniscule percentage of obese people have medical reasons for their condition. The rest of them just cannot stop shoveling the food in long enough to see the consequences of their actions.\n\nHow many times have you been in a restaurant or at a party and watched an obviously obese person shoveling in the food and drinking a diet soda? Do they think the diet soda will make all that fat and calories go away? It doesn't work that way.\n\nPlease understand that the following suggestions are only the beginning of a very long and bumpy road to recovery. But even the longest journey begins with a single step.\n\nThis is the highest mountain system on earth, the name…\n\nSpending time in nature helps renew and rejuvenate our bodies,…",

"Freelance Journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has said that he will rather believe in promises made by a man during his ejaculation than believe in Akufo-Addo.\n\nAccording to him, he invested his trust in the Akufo-Addo brand during the 2016 electioneering campaign because he believed that the NPP was a better alternative to transform the fortunes of Ghana for the better.\n\nHowever, he now has a diverse opinion about the Akufo-Addo led administration ever since they took over the governance of the country.\n\nThe Journalist who made this known in a post on his Facebook page said the straw that broke the camel’s back and erased the little trust he had in the Akufo-Addo administration is the treated meted out to Dumelevo.\n\nHe said “Whenever Akufo-Addo was speaking in 2016, come and see me — gidigidi, quoting and posting his words with trust and hope. Now, I trust the promises a man makes to his wife when “his body is coming” more than the president’s words. His action against Daniel Yaw Domelevo eroded the vestige of trust I still had in him. Unfortunately, I don’t trust his main opponent’s promises too. But I’ll vote on December 7 if I have life”.\n\nThe New Patriotic Party today August 22,2020 at an event held in the Central Region launched its manifesto which to the party intends to consolidate the gains made so far since they took over power from the NDC.\n\nThe Manifesto according to the political party is its social contract with the people of Ghana and they will follow suit to ensure that Ghana is Transformed.\n\nWhenever Akufo-Addo was speaking in 2016, come and see me — gidigidi, quoting and posting his words with trust and hope….",

"This year marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. In commemoration, President Donald Trump pardoned Susan B. Anthony, who was arrested in 1872 for illegally voting. Curiously, the move prompted liberal outrage.\n\nNew York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul demanded that Trump rescind the pardon, the Susan B. Anthony Museum in Rochester, New York issued a statement announcing that it would be “rejecting” the pardon. “If one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome,” the statement said, describing Anthony as someone who was a “strong proponent” of the “elimination of all forms of discrimination.”\n\nUnfortunately for the docents at the museum, that’s not the narrative the left has been promoting for years about Anthony and other white suffragists. On the contrary, the New York Times recently described Anthony as “an increasingly divisive figure, adopted by anti-abortion forces and criticized for relating Black suffragists to the sidelines.”\n\nThe “criticism” the Times cites not surprisingly is coming from inside the Times building. The Times has waged a consistent campaign to chip away at the achievements of white suffragists by judging them by contemporary standards—a presentist assessment that renders the white suffragists irredeemably racist. A recent Times newsletter noted of the anniversary of the 19th amendment, “Those who fought for it were heroes, but not always moral paragons. The suffrage movement, like other social movements before and after, often reflected the racism, nativism and other prejudices that pervaded America as a whole.”\n\nTimes editorial board member Brent Staples was much less diplomatic when he began laying the groundwork for attacking white women’s rights leaders last year. “The suffragist heroes Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony seized control of the feminist narrative of the 19th century,” he wrote.\n\nStripped of her halo, Stanton, the campaign’s principal philosopher, is exposed as a classic liberal racist who embraced fairness in the abstract while publicly enunciating bigoted views of African-American men, whom she characterized as “Sambos” and incipient rapists in the period just after the war. The suffrage struggle itself took on a similar flavor, acquiescing to white supremacy — and selling out the interests of African-American women—when it became politically expedient to do so.\n\nHe went on to decry the “toxic legacy” of women’s suffrage and argues that “the betrayal of trust opened a rift between black and white feminists that persists to this day.”\n\nIf it persists to this day, it’s in large part because people like Staples have an interest in ensuring it does. He cites the work of historians like Faye Dudden, who argues that women like Stanton “dipped her pen into a tincture of white racism and sketched a reference to a nightmarish figure, the black rapist.” But this kind of presentism does little to place in context the complicated politics of the post-Civil War debate over universal suffrage.\n\nSusan B. Anthony’s goal was women’s suffrage, and anything that stood in her way—including granting the right to vote to black men before it was granted to women—she condemned. “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman,” Anthony said. She also invoked images of non-white men of all races as ignorant and unworthy of the vote. Such trafficking in stereotypes by today’s standards are clearly offensive and racist, but they were understood to be politically expedient by white suffragists at the time.\n\nFocusing only on suffragists’ failures to adhere to contemporary views perpetuates a misunderstanding of the slow, painstaking, and necessary work that historians do. History is always being revised—as documents are unearthed and studied by new generations of historians, they raise new questions and bring new perspectives to old ones.\n\nWhen done well, this form of revision expands our understanding of the past by enlarging it. Contra the complaints of opinion writers like Staples, historians have been doing this for years with regard to studying the contributions of black women who fought for the right to vote.\n\nBut just as the 1619 Project has as its goal erasing and replacing the story of our country’s founding with an ideological project, so, too, is this effort intended to weaken the impact of white suffragists by retroactively canceling them for their views during a time of present-day racial ferment.\n\nThis approach to studying the past is gaining power (the state of California recently passed a law mandating that every student in the California State University system must take an “ethnic studies” course to graduate). But to the extent that it views history as a racist conspiracy rather than a complicated tapestry, or as a game with winners and losers (and the losers are always figures that failed to live by contemporary standards of race, sex, or class), it contributes to confusion, not understanding.\n\nWhen this happens, history ceases to be an ongoing, ever-evolving effort to understand people’s motivations and beliefs and actions in the past and instead becomes a contemporary project focused on retribution and erasure. Simplistic videos like this one get more engagement than nuanced analyses by historians. Judgments are often meted out not by scholars but by ideologically motivated journalists or, as we have seen of late, the mob (both virtual and real). Rather than enriching and expanding the complicated story of the past, we get history as the story of good vs. evil, black vs. white.\n\nWe all lose when such Manichean approaches to history prevail because its advocates have nothing to say about figures that complicate the narrative by being. . . well, complicated human beings. Where, for example, does Sojourner Truth fit into the story of white suffragists as irredeemably racist? She was a former slave and abolitionist who, like Anthony and Stanton (whom she called friends), split with Frederick Douglass over the issue of black men gaining the right to vote before women.\n\nHistorians should push back against this effort to replace the study of the past with presentist, ideological agendas. Each new generation of historians should seek to enrich and expand our knowledge of the past; replacing this kind of enlivening study of history with ideological and political expediency doesn’t only undermine our understanding of that past, but threatens to leave us far less prepared for the future.",

"1.) From swimming with sharks to “Dancing with the Stars.” Diana Nyad, the lesbian world-record holding swimmer who last year became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida — a total of 110 miles — without a shark tank will star on the 18th season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Her partner on the dance floor of the wildly popular ABC series is pro Henry Byalikov who has danced on Australia’s “So You Think You Can Dance” and was featured as a dancer in “The Great Gatbsy.”\n\nNyad, 64, attempted to swim from Cuba to Florida four other times before becoming successful on her fifth attempt last year.\n\n2.) Mississippi fighting anti-gay “religious freedom” bill. An amended version of Mississippi’s “Religious Freedom Restoration Act,” or SB 2681, is heading to the House floor for a possible vote and LGBT activists are warning the bill would legalize discrimination.\n\n“Substantive portions of the bill remain unchanged and the bill could still open the door for legalized discrimination against LGBT Mississippians and visitors to the state. The bill now heads to a vote by the House, which has until March 14 to take the measure up,” states a press release from the Campaign for Southern Equality.\n\n“We have serious concerns about the ‘Religious Freedom Restoration Act – it’s clear that this extreme bill is about legalizing discrimination, not protecting religious freedoms,” said Rev. Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, executive director of CSE, in a statement. “Even in its amended form, SB 2681 is still bad for business and bad for Mississippi families. LGBT advocates, allies, business and faith leaders will continue to call on their legislators to vote against the bill.”\n\nGeorgia LGBT activists fought off the vote of two similar “religious freedom” bills in the past two weeks as well as numerous other states across the nation, including in Arizona where a bill was passed but then vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer after major corporations came out against the bill. Atlanta-based companies Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola also spoke out against the bills.\n\n3.) The Bluegrass State heading for bruising battle? After Kentucky’s Attorney General Jack Conway said he would not appeal the case in which a federal judge ruled the state must start recognizing same-sex marriages from other states and countries, the governor said he would hire outside attorneys to fight the battle.\n\nConway said at a news conference he wouldn’t defend the appeal because to do so would be “defending discrimination.” Gov. Steve Beshear issued a statement outside counsel would be hired to do the job.\n\n“Other Kentucky courts may reach different and conflicting decisions,” Beshear said in a statement on Tuesday. “Employers, health care providers, governmental agencies and others faced with changing rules need a clear and certain roadmap. Also, people may take action based on this decision only to be placed at a disadvantage should a higher court reverse the decision.”\n\n4.) “Homosexuals are not criminals.” Vatican Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana spoke out against Uganda’s draconian anti-gay law but urged countries to continue to provide international aid to the poor country.\n\nTurkson said Tuesday that “homosexuals are not criminals” at a church and human rights conference.\n\nThe Wold Bank has postponed a $90 million loan to Uganda after Uganda’s president signed the controversial bill into law. The law would imprison gay people\n\n5.) Rapper 50 Cent needs to make some change — fast. After suggesting on Instagram that Diddy, Rick Ross and Steve Stoute, a former record executive, were all gay together, the rapper backed down almost immediately.\n\n50 Cent posted a photo of Stoute and Diddy, both wearing pink shirts, embracing and also posted a photo of Diddy and Ross at an angle that makes it appear they are about to kiss. Underneath the pics, Fiddy wrote, “I ain’t saying nothing, but something ain’t right. Lmao.”"

"Only two new ones this week, both at the Van City Theatre. And even though one of them is a three-parter, I’ve got room to look back on a pretty good movie year and pick my favourites.\n\nTHE WINDING STREAM: with the subtitle: The Carters, The Cashes and the Course of Country Music, this is a history of a musical dynasty—and a pure delight. Even if you don’t know of The Carter Family, you probably know their songs: Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Keep on the Sunny Side, Worried Man, and many many others.",
null,
"The film tells their story from a “god-fearing” hamlet in Virginia in the 1920s to country music stardom on record, radio and concert stages, to divorce, split up, revivals, re-discovery, connection by marriage with Johnny Cash and continuation of their musical legacy by their descendants. It’s a compelling narrative. I only knew part of it; mostly from reading LP liner notes and CD booklets. Beth Harrington from Portland, Oregon spent 12 years researching it and compiling a fabulous collection of archival clips and their personal stories in interviews with children, grandchildren, aunts, nieces, relatives of all kinds (including “son-in-law” Cash in one of his last) and music historians and performers. Big stars show up in clips and there’s lots of music, old and new, including a moving rendition of the title song by Rosanne Cash. A few attempts to animate some old photos is a misjudgement and the on-going question – did A. P. Carter compose or just collect those songs? – is downplayed. But the acknowledgement of a most-important musical history is all there. (Vancity Theatre, Mon to Thurs. Beth Harrington will attend the first two days). 4 out of 5\n\nARABIAN NIGHTS: Economic austerity imposed by a tough European Union. We know all about Greece, Italy and Spain but not so much about Portugal. Miguel Gomes tries to correct that in this mammoth film trilogy, an emotional portrait of sorts of a country under stress. He tells scattered stories that he and a group of journalists spent a year collecting and delivers them with far more swoops of fantasy than documentary realism. Though the imagination on display is exhilarating, it can be a puzzle at times.\n\nGomes calls it an “explosion of stories” structured like Scheherazade’s tales in the original Arabian Nights. They’re all modern and yet she appears a couple of times, and the actor who plays her also shows up elsewhere in smaller roles. Themes carry over from film to film. Part 1 is the most explicit about finances, starting with shipyard layoffs and government officials arguing austerity details. Suddenly though they go riding camels, take a wizard’s impotency medicine and suffer a bizarre malady. It’s a bit too arty for my taste. Part 3 includes a long section on public housing residents and a bird-song contest with a brief interlude about a Chinese student swept up in massive street demonstrations. The stories are so loosely connected you can watch any or all parts in any order.",
null,
"Part 2 is my best candidate as a stand-alone, and Portugal’s submission to the Academy Awards (though it didn’t make the short list). The highlight is a court case in which a destitute tenant is tried for selling a landlord’s furniture. One by one, extenuating circumstances emerge and implicate government officials, a banker, career criminals, cattle rustlers (as described by a cow), a genie, and, in quite a stretch, a Chinese man who bought real estate to get a visa. Absurd humor mixes with exasperated anger. It’s the purest blend of magic realism and truth in these three delirious films. At the end notice the music: The Langley Schools Music Project version of a Klaatu song, once recorded by The Carpenters. (VanCity Theatre. Screening back to back, Fri, Sat and Sun or one a day Tues, Wed and Thurs) 3 out of 5"

"Despite my admiration for—nay, adoration of—color, I can be a little timid about being bold and colorful myself. Whether it stems from any inner quirk or flaw or simply is, I can’t begin to guess, but when I become aware of my fearful nature beginning to stifle other aspects of my personality I get a little irritated with my sheepish side and want to jump up on the table and do a dazzling tap-dance that ends with a spectacular back flip, splashing adrenaline into the hearts of all others present.\n\nI don’t know how to tap dance. That kind of throws a monkey wrench into Plan A, even if I did have the remotest idea of how to do a back flip of any kind other than the I-just-got-pushed-off-a-cliff kind, and since that one ends fairly inevitably in messy death, the whole of the plan quickly loses its appeal.\n\nBut I can make artworks, and colorful ones at that, so as an acceptable Plan B I am quite often glad to whip out the spicier colors and wilder strokes of a bold design to assuage my spirits and reassure myself that I’m not entirely straightjacketed by my timidity. It’s good and wholesome to kick my own self in the pants occasionally (as well as less gymnastic, no matter how it sounds, than back-flips and tap dancing) and remember that I may be mild-mannered in general but even the quietest soul can sometimes have a momentary outburst and not only survive it but kind of relish the shock that it gives those around me who have also forgotten the possibility of my doing any such thing.\n\n14 thoughts on “Put a Little Mustard on It”"

"It was another defeat for the Blades whose poor start to the season continued after they were beaten by Aston Villa on Monday evening. It is now 5 straight league defeats going back to the end of last season for Chris Wilder’s men. United gave a committed performance and kept a solid shape after losing John Egan to a red card on eleven minutes but lack of concentration on a set play again saw Konsa lose Stevens to score and United had no way back.\n\nUnited sprang a few surprises by dropping Ollie Norwood in place of Sander Berge and also starting with McGoldrick and Oliver Burke upfront with no place for McBurnie or Sharp. All three of those left out were on the bench. There was no place for any of the new wing-backs who had done well at Burnley with manager Wilder naming a more conservative defence with both Ampadu and Robinson named.\n\nVilla gave debuts to big-money signings Martinez, Watkins and Cash; with the latter two players who had been linked with the Blades in the summer but were boosted by skipper Jack Grealish committing his future to Villa for the foreseeable future after having signed a new contract.\n\nUnited played their first league game in the new pink away strip as they returned to the scene of the first game after lockdown had ended in June with the controversy over the goal that never was.\n\nVilla was on the attack early and Cash was all alone with Stevens nowhere near him and his deep cross was just too far for the stretching McGinn who had not been picked up either. On 3 minutes, another move was worked with Luiz’s dangerous cross headed just over his bar from Basham leading to a corner. Hourihane took it but Mings could not get enough on it. It was nearly 5 minutes in before United had any possession and McGoldrick won a free-kick but Lundstram did not beat the first man. A better cross from Lundstram nearly got McGoldrick in but Konsa got there first to clear. United made it to 6 minutes this week without conceding. Lundstram was then booked for a stupid challenge as he scythed down Grealish. He had not learnt his lesson from last week.\n\nDisaster struck United on 11 minutes when Egan hauled back Watkins and was sent off. VAR looked at the award but went with the original decision citing him as the last man which he was and Ramsdale was not going to get the ball. It was a distance from goal but as soon as he grabbed his man he was in trouble. It was similar to the one where Christensen was sent off for Chelsea yesterday so at least the decisions have been consistent. United had nearly 80 minutes to play with ten men and as had happened at Newcastle, Egan had left his teammates with a mountain to climb.\n\nUnited was struggling to get any kind of foothold in the game and more fouls from Baldock and Fleck saw Villa continue to threaten. They won a free-kick which O’Connell flicked just past his post. Villa was dominating the game and United now with a man disadvantage could not get going at all. Villa won another corner as Cash continued to cause problems down the right-hand side. The corner came in but the header by Luiz was straight at Ramsdale.\n\nVilla continued to probe and have all of the possession as United could not get any kind of momentum at all. Baldock did draw a foul on his man to at least relieve some of the pressure in terms of Villa dominating the ball; even though they had not had many chances.\n\nThe game entered the half-hour mark and Hourihane’s cross was cleared by O’Connell after Grealish had found an opening.\n\nVilla did start to struggle to find openings though and United kept a solid shape. Ampadu came on for McGoldrick as United went back to a 5 at the back and just left Burke upfront.\n\nUnited had offered little as an attacking force but a good move saw neat play and Burke ran across the box and played in a delightful through ball and Basham was in on goal and was clipped as he got there ahead of Targett. The referee Scott pointed to the spot and after the VAR checks; the decision was confirmed. Targett was booked and not sent off due to the double jeopardy rule so the decision in this instance was correct.\n\nWith no Norwood and Sharp, Lundstram took responsibility but his delivery was telegraphed and a great height for a keeper, Martinez sprang to his right to make the save. The disastrous start for the Blades had continued with the failure to convert this golden chance. There was no chance of it being retaken as the keeper had waited before making the save. Lundstram compounded his error with an appalling corner straight after.\n\nBasham was now playing in a more midfield role as United changed things again with a 4-4-1 formation as United tried to ensure they were nice and compact. Basham was close to Grealish when he picked up the ball.\n\nVilla moved it about on the left and it was knocked inside for Hourihane whose shot was blazed over when well placed. Grealish then won a corner in the next attack but United stood firm and was able to clear. United had defended well after the initial spell and was keeping a solid shape.\n\nThere was an extra four minutes of stoppage time to be played for the different stoppages. Villa continued to ask questions. A silly foul from Basham on McGinn led to a free-kick right on half time. Grealish whipped it in but as Ramsdale stayed at home the ball evaded everyone.\n\nThe second half began with Konsu limping after he seemingly got injured as he came out but he carried on. Villa began with the ball and moved it about wide to create space and try and draw United from side to side.\n\nBerge gave the ball away and Lundstram brought his man down leading to more possession for Villa for a period. Targett’s cross was held by Ramsdale though who took an inadvertent knock. Villa tried to find a chance through McGinn and Grealish but good work from Baldock saw United win the goal kick.\n\nAs the game approached the hour mark, Villa had struggled to fashion many chances but Watkins header was well over the bar. United had a bit of rest bite with Baldock in and then Berge had a chance but got the ball stuck under his foot when well-placed after running into the box. From the subsequent clearance, Villa broke up the other end and had another spell of play and continued to probe but United had held firm well so far. Basham conceded a corner before Davis came on for Hourihane.\n\nFor all the good work, poor defending undid United when the corner came across. Mings beat O’Connell to the ball who was blocked off again for the second week running and KONSA headed into the far corner of the goal with Ramsdale extremely slow to get down to the ball as it crept into the corner.\n\nOsborn came on for Fleck as United tried to find new legs and impetus. The goal meant United had to come out and they made a chance when McBurnie came on for Basham.\n\nGrealish had a shot wide after he ran into the last third. United tried to make headway with 20 minutes to play. United could not get much going and Grealish was pulling the strings and his ball led to Trezeguet clipping wide. United did not look like coming back into the game with 15 minutes to go despite the changes to personnel and the formation.\n\nWatkins came inside and curled an effort over the bar after nice, patient build-up. The side most likely to get another goal were Villa as for all United’s hard work and organisation had been for nothing due to the poor goal they gave away.\n\nA rare attack saw Burke do well and pull it back but it was cleared away from McBurnie and then Berge had a shot blocked. The next 10 minutes saw Villa have a lot of the ball and move it around but seemed content to just hold what they had. United could not make any headway and it kind of petered out with a lot of tired legs. United forced a late corner but Berge hooked well over. The additional three minutes of stoppage time saw little happen apart from Grealish’s shot being blocked by Lundstram and United’s shocking away form going back into last season continued despite a determined effort from the ten men."

"Google has just officially introduced its latest smartphones, and much to everyone’s expectations given the numerous rumors so far, the Nexus series has been phased out in favor of a new take on the concept of Android phones, called Pixel and Pixel XL. Unlike previous Nexus devices which were created in collaboration with other tech giants including Samsung, LG, and HTC, the Google Pixel smartphone has been designed by Google inside and out, and marks the company’s entry in the mobile segment with its own hardware. During the presentation, Google’s officials have discussed the various exciting features surrounding the Pixel, and interestingly enough the company was keen to emphasize on the smartphone’s premium camera capabilities.\n\nThe Google Pixel and Pixel XL are equipped with the same 12.3-megapixel camera, boasting a Sony IMX378 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, large 1.55-micron pixels to allow more light to hit the sensor, and Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) technology. On paper, the package sounds very promising, and indeed, Google claims that the camera is very capable in practice. In fact, Google has revealed that the Pixel’s camera has received the highest rating from DxOMark Mobile for a smartphone camera, ever. The sensor is rated at a score of 89 points and overtakes the HTC 10, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and the Sony Xperia X Performance, all of which have scored 88 points. DxOMark Mobile have given the Apple iPhone 7’s camera a score of 86 points which is the same as for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and lastly, Google’s second most powerful smartphone after the Pixel and Pixel XL – the Google Nexus 6P – scores 84 points in the camera department.\n\nThe camera fitted on the Google Pixel smartphones boasts zero shutter lag, always-on HDR functions for improved quality in a variety of lighting conditions, and through software wizardry the resulting images are sharper, less blurry, and deliver improved dynamic range. But what’s very interesting to note – and Google didn’t shy away from pointing this detail out either – is that the Pixel and Pixel XL don’t have a camera hump. This particular characteristic has made its way on numerous premium smartphones over the past few years for the sake of accommodating more powerful cameras, but impressively enough Google seems to have created a very capable sensor that requires no such shortcuts in terms of design. The Pixel and Pixel XL conceal their cameras very elegantly compared to its rivals, and hopefully, more smartphone makers will follow in Google’s footsteps.",

"GALLANTRY medals awarded to a brave soldier who served in both world wars are set to sell for thousands of pounds when they go under the hammer at Tamworth’s new auction house.\n\nThe Collectors Sale from 10am on Tuesday, October 26, will see stamps, ephemera, militaria, records, audio equipment, cameras, toys and model trains go under the hammer.\n\nAll are named to Pearson except the WW2 Defence and War medals which were unnamed as issued.\n\nCompany Sergeant Major Percy Pearson served with the Nottingham and Derby Regiment throughout World War One.\n\nThis regiment formed part of the 46th North Midland Division and saw much action in the conflict on the Somme battlefields and later in the First World War at Kemmel in Flanders, Belgium, and attacks on the infamous Hindenburg Line German defences.\n\nHe was awarded the Military Medal for ‘immediate award for his gallantry and devotion to duty’ at Kemmel during the second German offensive between April 12-17 1918.\n\nHe had previously been awarded a wound strip for actions on or around August 9 1917 and later in the war would be decorated with the Distinguished Conduct Medal for ‘marked gallantry and initiative’.\n\nThe citation said: “When his company attacked the Germans and reached their final objective near Montbrehain on October 3 1918, he noticed that their right flank was open.\n\n“He immediately organised a strongpoint, which during the ensuing counterattack inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.\n\n“When ammunition was running short he organised a party under heavy fire and got ammunition to the firing line.\n\n“It was owing to his fine actions that the company was eventually able to repel the attack.”\n\nPearson’s deeds were to be later recorded in a book, British Gallantry awards – The Sherwood Foresters 1854-1970.\n\nHe served in the Home Guard during the Second World War – and in 1953 was the only WW2 Home Guard officer to be asked to attend the Queen’s Coronation parade – and also had a role with the Army Cadet Force in Derby.\n\nAn associated ephemera collection includes letters and contemporary news cuttings on the award of Pearson’s medals.\n\n“This enlisted soldier from South Derbyshire represented his regiment with distinction throughout the First World War and beyond into WW2 and then later in the Cadet Force role,” said Nick Thompson, military specialist with Richard Winterton Auctioneers.\n\n“His military service and phenomenal bravery is extremely well documented but details of Pearson’s early life are still clouded by the mists of time, as is information about his latter years.\n\n“As such, there is still plenty of scope for further research to find out more about this exemplary soldier who devoted himself to his country.”\n\nConsignments of items to go straight under the hammer are welcomed from 9am-4pm Monday to Friday at the new auction house in Lower Gungate.\n\nThere will also be free valuations daily by appointment Monday to Friday, with various specialists on different days.\n\nTuesday, October 19 will be a chance and discuss medals and militaria with Mr Thompson and meet coins valuer Phil Bridge.\n\nAn associated ephemera archive with the group includes:"

"You really have to wonder if the accountants and marketing teams of the entertainment industrial complex have actually signed a deal with the devil, or if they’ve just realized how exceptionally profitable it is to use Illuminati and occult symbolism as a marketing device.\n\nReferences to the Illuminati in pop music go back to at least 1995, when Prodigy of Mobb Deep rapped about the dark ones in a remix of LL Cool J’s, I Shot Ya.\n\n“Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body. Secret Society trying to keep their eye on me. But I’ma stay incogni’ in places they can’t find me. Make my moves strategically.” – Prodigy\n\nAt this time, references to the Illuminati in pop culture were scant, but the influences of secret societies and the occult on American culture extend all the way back to the founding of this nation. Many of the symbols we see everywhere today are from antiquity, many having dual meanings.\n\nProdigy was talking about the true spirit of rebellion, which is, using knowledge to master the self.\n\nAs he put it in an interview, “Secrets are put into the craft of the teacher. The teacher does not blatantly tell you, this is the truth.” He is referring the use of symbols to convey messages to those who are ready to receive said messages.\n\nThis is all backwards now. Fast forward to today, and the symbols, imagery, and deities of the occult are ubiquitous, and overtly Satanic content is everywhere now. Even Taco Bell and the Denver International Airport riff on the Illuminati to get your attention.\n\nLike, for example, this video by Panic! at the Disco where a child is tortured in some obviously wanna-be satanic ritual:\n\n\nAnd this is what it’s all about. It’s about attention.\n\nAttention is the currency of the information age, and to have someone’s attention is to have influence over them.\n\nOccult Worship: Hollywood’s Other Dirty Secret That Everyone Knows Of But No One Talks About",
null,
"There are literally thousands of images like these online, from magazines, album covers, ads, everything. Even the smaller, independent ad agencies are using these themes, and they wouldn’t do so unless it worked and they saw a financial return for it. It has become a legitimate meme.",
null,
"Occult symbolism is so effective as a marketing ploy because it appeals directly to the darkest regions of the psyche. Those deep parts of the human mind that live in a never-ending violence fantasy. Sex sells, but death sells better.\n\nTake, for example, Eminem’s recent video, Framed, keeping in mind that Eminem is the highest-selling rap act of all time.\n\nHe’s well-known for drug addiction, threatening to kill his wife, misogynistic lyrics, and for endorsing violence against women in general. Yet he’s a darling and a hero to the political left, for some reason.\n\nIn the Framed video, he is a mind-controlled serial killer, murdering people and dismembering them, and all the while the local news media is giving him free press. It’s really quite messed up. Here’s a still from the video:",
null,
"Eminem is cool because he fantasizes about murdering people and dismembering them.\nHe’s the best! [Sarcasm]\n\nBut something else is going on here also. The entertainment industry is populated with sexual predators, pedophiles and worse, often at the highest levels. Their culture is the culture you see on the screen and on the magazine covers. And if your attention is on their culture, then you’ll become like them.\n\nWhich is why so many young rappers love to boast about eating mounds of xanax and opioids and not giving a fuck about anything, even life itself. They’re doing what they have to do to get your attention. And if they overdose and die along the way, well, newer, more like them ready to take their place. Pop stars are expendable tools.",
null,
"For music and art to truly be revolutionary, it has to buck the zeitgeist, to but so much of pop culture today does nothing more than glorify the culture of death. This is a spiritual war for the souls of the youth. If you want to rebel against the system, you’ll have to first purge this garbage from your psyche.\n\nAbout the author: Buck Rogers is the earth-bound incarnation of that familiar part of our timeless cosmic selves, the rebel within.

"As we approach the conclusion of the third Tzolk’in cycle since December 2012 (the start of this new Great Cycle of time), we return to the K’an trecena, aligned with the general idea of Germination. This tends to be a robust energy sequence associated with the inception of new ideas or the forging of new directions, suggestive of an “anything is possible” type of time frame, but it can also be a time of “testing”, as new potentialities begin to take shape and the process of nurturing new endeavors begins.",
null,
"A metaphor would be a new plant just beginning to sprout. It needs light and air and nutrients, and room to grow. It holds within itself the potential to become strong and robust, but at this stage it still requires a lot of care and protection, as could be seen throughout this trecena two cycles ago when major international discussions concerning Syria were taking place.\n\nAs the patron energy associated with this time frame was seen as a blindfolded sacrificial deity who is sometimes accompanied by another god associated with fate, there is a sense of unpredictability during this time, or at least a need for prudence and alertness, in order to navigate successfully through a wide range of “unknowns”. This is a good time to put intuition into action towards the anticipation of implications or outcomes of any thoughts, plans, or actions. It is also a time when various sacrifices may be required to make room for growth and new life – which might take the form of an abandonment of old ideas in favour of something newer and fresher.\n\nThe first few days of this K’an trecena are an extension of the creation sequence that began on One Chuwen (on Jan. 11th). Based on past events that have taken place on One K’an, there is the suggestion that during this time a number of influential energies that are embryonic to major world developments can come into play. This idea of attempting to “germinate” or set the foundations for new ideas can be seen in many key past events that have taken place during this trecena, as when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his prophetic speech about being a “drum major for peace” in 1968. It was this K’an trecena that saw Napoléon Bonaparte declared Emperor of France (in 1804) and Hitler assume dictatorial powers (in 1933). During this trecena Cardinal Karol Wojtyla was elected as Pope John Paul II (in 1978) and Mikhail Gorbachev was elected as Secretary General of the Soviet Communist Party (in 1985). On the first day of this trecena in 2008, Barack Obama gave his historic acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium as the Democratic candidate for the U.S. presidency, sixty years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was ordained to the Ministry, under the same energy influence.",

"This trecena opens with the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the death of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965, with the 50th anniversary of his grand state funeral falling in the middle of the trecena. As the boat carrying his coffin travelled up the Thames, the crane jibs along the river were lowered in salute. This event is being re-created on the first day of this trecena. Photo Credit: the United Nations Information Office, New York (Public Domain), via Wikimedia Commons\n\nThis time this trecena seems to be honouring Sir Winston Churchill – the extraordinary leader who inspired his people to “fight on”, no matter what, during the second world war. And now, at a time when the world so desperately needs direction, we are reminded of the achievements of this remarkable man, who always had such a strong sense of purpose and destiny. As this trecena opens, the boat called the Havengore, that carried Churchill’s coffin down the Thames at the time of his state funeral in 1965, will carry some of his descendents back to the Palace of Westminster where a commemorative wreath will be laid to mark the 50th anniversary of his death. This will be the start of a week-long series of events that will conclude at the centre point of the trecena, which will coincide with the 50th anniversary of that highly memorable event that brought representatives from some 110 countries to pay honour to the “soul of a nation” at the time of the largest state funeral in history as of that date.\n\nDuring this time frame one of the most important days for the Maya comes into place on Jan. 31st, on Eight Chuwen (aka 8 Batz’). The most important festival day for Quiché Maya daykeepers, this sacred day is oriented around the renewal of calendar traditions and the initiation of new daykeepers. Eight Chuwen represents a kind of “resurrection” of the type of solar energy that can “weave together” past and future to help the “new entity” gain a foothold on the road of life, with that “road” being represented by the following day, known as 9 Eb’. In 2012 it seemed particularly significant that the 8 Batz’ festival took place just nine days before the end of the Great Cycle. With this energy immediately following the commemorative events for Churchill, perhaps this will help to infuse people with a new sense of possibilities that can be nurtured through the next cycle.\n\nSo as we connect once again with the K’an trecena energy sequence, again we will be germinating (or “planting the seeds”) for what is to follow. Given the nature of the energies at play, and the emphasis on working with “the unseen” or the unknown at this time, this is always an excellent time to be vigilant, cautious, and very, very conscious of the implications of both thought and action. During this time frame these are the energies that will come into play:",

"By Scott Gilfoid: IBF super flyweight champion Zolani Tete (20-3, 17 KOs) simply had too size, too much speed, and too much talent for the badly over-matched #9 IBF, #11 WBO Paul Butler (17-1, 8 KOs) in knocking out the previously unbeaten Brit in the 8th round of their fight last Friday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.\n\nTete, 26, ended the fight with a crushing right uppercut to the chin of Butler that sent the British fighter down on the canvas on his backside. Butler then sat for a second trying to collect himself before the referee Phil Edwards did the only thing he could under the circumstances and halted the fight at 1:34 of the 8th round.\n\nEarlier in the round, Tete had nailed Butler with another huge right uppercut that stopped him in his tracks, and had him momentarily spinning his gears without moving. Once Butler started moving again, he motioned for Tete to continue to throw punches.\n\nIn hindsight, that wasn’t a good idea, because Tete quickly obliged him moments later by finishing him off with another right uppercut to the head.\nThe southpaw Tete was rarely hit by the shorter, slower and terribly limited Butler. Tete was able to stay on the outside for the most part, picking off Butler with shots the entire fight.\n\nButler was helpless on the outside, as his reach wasn’t long enough for him to land his power shots. Instead of doing the wise thing in closing the distance to make contact with Tete, Butler stayed on the outside for pretty much the entire fight. It resulted in the fight looking more like a sparring match between a champion and a sparring partner than an actual title fight.\n\nButler looked so bad in the fight it was almost like he didn’t belong in the ring with Tete. It was great match-making on Tete’s management’s part in selecting Butler for the fight, because he was no threat at all for Tete. But you’d like to have thought that the International Boxing Federation would have done a better job of vetting Buter before agreeing to sanction the fight, because Butler clearly didn’t belong in the same ring with Tete.\n\nHad the IBF said no to the fight until Butler proved himself capable of competing with Tete by beating some quality fighters, I think the boxing fans would have been better served. But letting the fight go ahead with Butler having a resume filled largely with wins over fluff opponents, the IBF was asking for trouble in agreeing to let this fight happen.\n\nIn other action on the card, lightweight Derry Mathews (37-9-2, 20 KOs) defeated an over-matched journeyman named Gyorgy Mizsei Jr (21-14, 12 KOs) by a 5th round stoppage. Just why Mathews was put in with someone this far out of his class is the big question. This was a horrible tune-up fight for Mathews to get him ready for his title fight against WBA champion Richard Abril on April 18th.\n\nUndefeated junior middleweight Liam Smith (19-0-1, 9 KOs) stayed undefeated with an 8th round stoppage win over Robert Talarek (10-9-2, 5 KOs). The referee Mark Lyson halted the fight due to cuts by Talarek in the 8th. The official time of the stoppage was at 2:11 of the 8th.\n\n« Broner: I’m not afraid of Molina’s power, I’m not running"

"As a group which is tasked to record Yiddish London, we felt that we cannot go on without putting at least a small record about Sigmung Freud (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud was born at the height of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Moravia, what is today Příbor in the Czech Republic. He qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna, before he become interested in psychoanalysis, inspired by the hypnosis method of Jean-Martin Charcot, a famous French neurologist. As the discoverer of the “talking cure” language was very important for Freud.\n\nFreud’s relationship to Yiddish is not straightforward, in fact he did not speak the language at all. Instead, he belonged to the German speaking, elite Jewish community in Vienna. Speaking Yiddish was seen less affluent in Vienna. However, record has it that when Freud tells of his collections of Jewish jokes they were often connected to the language. He felt obliged to confess that he dabbled in the language and that he was not completely separate from its heritage, though he was very keen to dissociate himself from it.",
null,
"In His article “Freud, Women and Jews” (2003) Ken Frieden tells us: “Because Freud’s own parents had moved to Vienna from Galicia, Freud was at pains to distance himself from the lower-class Jews from eastern Europe, who spoke Yiddish rather than German. Hence when Freud tells jokes about “dirty Jews,” he sets himself apart from them.” Interesting fact is that his mother retained a Yiddish dialect throughout her life.\n\nRecord has it that in conversation with Wilhelm Fliess, they discuss old Jewish jokes often connected with the traditional language. (The Riddle of Freud, by Estelle Roith) Though he was very keen to dissociate himself from the dialect, (on some occasions, he completely denied knowing it), his book ‘Jokes and relations to the Unconscious’ may reveal the suppression of his actual appreciation.\n\nSome of his work was however translated in Yiddish by a socio-linguist called Max Weinreich (1894 – 1969).",
null,
"However, to conclude on a broader note, despite an era of conflict, Freud’s contribution to philosophy and psychology encourages a more interconnected world and fosters global citizenship. On his arrival to London he continued his work on psychoanalysis and understanding the human mind. This enables us to understand the fundamental cognitions of people regardless of cultural barriers.",

"When he's not working as a furniture repairman Jeff Davis likes to go on Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends. Occasionally he uses it as a political sounding board.\n\n\"The adage 'let's agree to disagree' that's where I fall with a lot of people,\" Davis said.\n\nHe even admits his political posts have lost him some friends on social media.\n\nPOLL: Do you post about politics on social media?\n\n\"Most of 'em it was kinda a bitter sweet thing, because they're still friends as far as I'm concerned,\" Davis said.\n\nThe social media comments are what Political Scientist Dr. Michael Cornfield is studying. He's comparing how Presidential candidates are mentioned on social media to how they are talked about on mainstream media.\n\n\"It's an important topic because today more and more people are getting their political news and opinions from Facebook and social media,\" Cornfield said.\n\nCornfield doesn't necessarily think social media has people more interested in politics but instead that, \"social media allows them to say a lot more than they ever could in public.\"\n\nThe increase in dialogue is bound to stir up strong emotions.\n\n\"I think people have always been passionate about politics and now with social media there's more outlets and more ways to express it,\" Professor Jessica Myrick, who researches the way various media shapes our emotional reactions, said. \"You can share a news story and sort of implicitly show your opinion, or you can write a page long rant.\"\n\nMyrick suggests people think before they post, and don't let emotions get the best of them.\n\n\"I think when people are posting about politics on social media they should imagine if they ran into their social media friends in the grocery store and just said the same thing there in person- how would others react,\" Myrick said.\n\nUse your emotional energy in a constructive way if you're offended by a political post, Myrick recommends.\n\n\"Don't just try to inhibit the emotion completely, cause that's unnatural, we are human beings and bound to act emotionally. But see if you can turn that emotional energy into something more positive like doing some research or even volunteering for a political cause you believe in,\" She said.\n\nIf you really can't stand a friend's political posts on sites like Facebook or Twitter, one option is to \"unfollow\" that person until the election is over. It's a slightly more subtle way to avoid seeing their posts, without going to the extreme."

"I need to vent a little.\n\nAs many of you might remember, last summer when we moved out of our house on Kaua’i, our landlord stood us up for the move-out inspection. And, although he had 14 days from the day we turned over the keys (July 29) to return our security deposit, either by mail or in person, along with written evidence if necessary for why he was keeping some or all of it, we have never received anything from him.\n\nUp until a few days ago we hadn’t communicated with our former landlord since August, when he claimed he had mailed a check to us, but refused to say how much or if there was other paperwork. We had given him our mailing address (Brett’s sister) but whatever he sent turned out to be addressed to a completely different city in Texas. When we informed him and again gave him the correct address, the landlord claimed he would have the mis-addressed mail forwarded to the correct address but of course nothing ever showed up. That was the last we heard from him before heading to Buenos Aires.\n\nOur former landlord is incapable of opening his mouth without lying. And once he starts he can’t stop, and the stories get bigger and better each time he tells them. Over the nearly three years we rented from him, for example, Brett listened to numerous tales of the landlord’s two years of military service. Brett still doesn’t know whether he served in the marines or the navy because his story changed every single time about what branch of the service he was in and what he did. And, his experiences in the military grew every time as well to the point where he apparently did every job short of commanding an aircraft carrier, and he was promoted at least four times over a period of six months because of his amazing skills and leadership ability (the last time was to the highest enlisted rank, E-9, at age 19)! We were always a bit weirded out that he would tell Brett these whoppers because the landlord knew Brett was a career sailor and had been in the service at the same time and knew a few things. Brett tried to call him on his tall tales a few times, but that never slowed him down.\n\nOur landlord lied and exaggerated about everything. Constantly. We knew when we moved in that along with maintaining a good relationship with him we were going to have to keep track of him and keep records to protect ourselves. We stayed friendly, paid our rent on time every month, took good care of the house, and worried when he was diagnosed with cancer. In return he treated us fairly for the most part. But, the lies, crazy stories, excuses, etc. never stopped or let up, so Brett saved every message from him, a good thing because it turns out the man incriminated himself almost every time he wrote something to Brett concerning the house.\n\nWhen we messaged him the morning of the inspection to ask if and when he intended to come, his first reply was he had forgotten. From there we started getting excuse after excuse after excuse for why he failed to show up until it finally got to the point it was our fault he didn’t come. This was in spite of him telling us at the same time we were his best tenants ever and he had planned to give us back our entire deposit (without ever making any arrangements to do so). Of course, in the next couple of days we were informed that following HIS solo inspection we had actually trashed his property and it was going to cost him a small fortune to fix everything we had damaged. He also made several flat-out crazy claims with no relation to reality. For example, at one point he wanted to know if we had we forgotten about our arrangement to swap our house in Texas with his on Kaua’i – ????? It was exhausting dealing with all the lies and stories over and over.\n\nLast week Brett accidentally dialed the landlord’s number. Much to our surprise, the landlord actually messaged Brett back to say the check he sent last August had been returned to him in October (but of course he never contacted us about it). He asked for our mailing address for the third time and said he was going to resend the check and would send Brett the tracking number. That was a week ago and as expected we’ve heard nothing further from him. We still believe he has no intention whatsoever of giving us any of our deposit, and it would be the shock of a lifetime for us at this point if he follows through on his latest claim. We’re sure he’s convinced himself that we’re never coming back to Kaua’i so who’s going to care if he doesn’t return our deposit? What are we going to do about it?\n\nWell, for one, we care. And, there is plenty we can do. We are fine with one of us (me) going back to Kaua’i to collect our deposit through small claims – it’s a considerable amount and worth making the trip. And, we know our former landlord does not want to appear in court – we saw last summer that the mere mention of a court appearance completely unnerved him, especially since there’s a very good chance he’s a tax cheat. Hawai’i places very strict limits on how long and for what reasons a landlord can retain some or all of a security deposit. They are required to provide loads of documentation to back up any claims they make for keeping any part of the deposit, and can be required to pay as much as three times the original deposit to their former renter if they fail to do so or make false claims.\n\nThe next time our landlord hears from us it will be with a summons. We have a full calendar year from our move-out date to file in small claims, and we plan to do so as soon as we return to Portland next May. We are going to sue for a full return of our security deposit along with the cost of my travel to Kaua’i. I will be bringing along the many photos we took of the very clean house, all the receipts and incriminating messaging from him. We also have witnesses ready to show that the house was well-cared for and left in spotless and move-in-ready condition, and that the landlord has never made any genuine effort to return the deposit or any part of it at all."

"This is getting a little boring.\n\nFor the third consecutive month, the new mid-engine Corvette is the hottest-selling car in America, and it appears to be getting even hotter!\n\nAccording to iSeeCars.com’s survey, in January, it took an average of 10 days for a 2021 Stingray to roll out of a dealership. In February, that figure climbed to 13.1 days.\n\nNow that average has dropped to just 9.4 days for March, though interestingly the average price of a new Corvette dropped to $82,457 for the month, down from an average of $86,581 in February.",
null,
"That Corvette figure is even more impressive considering the average for all cars to sell during March was 47.4 days.\n\n“The Corvette C8 has been in short supply since its 2020 debut due to overwhelming demand and multiple production setbacks, including its most recent shutdown from late February into early March because of a parts shortage,” said ISeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. ”\n\nThe interest in the new mid-engine Corvette is apparently bleeding over into the used market, where Corvette ranked fourth in a list of the Top 20 Fastest-Selling Used Vehicles in March, with an average of 29.6 days to sell behind the Kia Telluride (25.9), Mazda MX-5 Miata (26.5), and Hyundai Palisade (28.5).",
null,
"“The Escalade was redesigned for 2021 to make the already supersized SUV even larger and more luxurious, leading to a 75 percent sales increase in the first quarter of 2021 over last year,” said Brauer. “Cadillac has struggled in recent years, but the popularity of the Escalade and Escalade ESV, particularly the higher trims, has helped Cadillac rebuild its position as a luxury brand associated with opulence, advanced tech and the celebrity elite.”"

Someone may think that the momentary benefit of lying will justify itself, but in the end it is always the way to destruction.\"\n\nIt turns Out that you, Mr. agekyan, contradict yourself if you say one thing and do quite the opposite, that is, you live not in conscience and shame! »\n\nEgregious case occurred with the change to the construction project of Agekjan of the General Plan in the area of the sacred place where in 1943 rd in the old building of school No. 1 lived and trained in the basics of landing illustrious participants Bukrinsky landing on the Dnieper. Among the veterans was Gregory Chukhrai, the author of \" the Ballad of the soldier \"and\" Forty-first\", but even this name did not help. Master plan local MPs changed quietly, stealthily in July 2018. Deputies, among them school principals –shifters Irina Konovalova and Alex as a peasant - not confused, that the present building of the school №1 is bursting at the seams from duhomenko (by the way, these so-called \"teachers\" is very uneven breathing to the side of the \"benefactor\" with the criminal reputation of Agekjan). And, despite petitions of citizens not to encroach on sacred, \"elect\" decided to build a residential elite house instead and on the place of school. Because, they say, the Governor of Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov still not in a hurry to build schools in Fryazino (none appeared for more than 30 years!), and with the General Plan did not even think to understand, although he was asked about it by his colleague in the party , the Chairman of the defense Committee, General Shamanov. The problem of building the second building of the first school, which was finished by the son of Agekyan, was not interesting at all .\n\n- But isn't it time to remind Goga that today is 2019, not the 90s? – in one voice write to the editor rucriminal.info zahorany, presence, vranovci, Losino-Petrivtsi and shilkovci, knowing that today's methods of \"extraction\" of land for the construction of high-rise buildings at this oligarch is not civilized. Dirt, filth, meanness, chaos. Within the memory of many local Armenians to the murder of the former construction tycoon Kochayan, but who ordered it? This question is being asked by representatives of the Armenian Diaspora in Fryazino. A sharp signal to the Public chamber of the Moscow region was the address of the resident Fryazino Timothy Balyko, that at the public hearing opposed the building of an apartment house in Grebneva of Agekian in the buffer zone of the estate. But instead move to the highway at 50 – 100 meters, angry Gogh was personally threatened with violence Timothy (oral that will put the young teachers in the trunk of a car and drive where necessary), and the house was built in the protected zone. AU, where are those who were obliged to monitor the violation of the norms of protected areas of monuments of Federal importance? Surely all bought with impunity and not react?!\n\nEarlier Rucriminal.info already published detailed help of the security services in respect of Agacan. It follows from this that G. V. aghekyan in the mid 90-ies got a job to the head of the pilot plant in Fryazino and well-known businessman – Senovo Alexander Alexandrovich. Having gained the confidence of the wife Zenova A. A., was able to ingratiate himself with the inner circle of relatives Zenova A. A. and became indispensable to the family.\n\nAt the end of may 1998 Zenov AA, carrying a large sum of money at the time, was in an accident and after a long stay in a coma died. In this case, the money was in the car, and a larger amount who were in the safe of the enterprise, after a tragic accident has disappeared, and while the victim was in a coma, the owners of the main real estate became G. V. aghekyan it is known that the keys to the safe were only Zenova, A. A. and G. V. Agekyan\n\nA similar incident occurred in mid-2006, when he was killed Kochoyan Gevor Milosevic – to begin a highly profitable business in the field of construction of residential houses, the sole owner of which, after the tragedy, was G. V. aghekyan, participating as a partner in only one small project. More detailed information is contained in the copy of Protocol of interrogation of the wife Chocoana G. M. – Ulgulan Marina Ashotovna in criminal case No. 132589, drawn up by the investigator for particularly important cases of the Prosecutor of the Moscow region (5L.).",

"The Securitate (pronounced [sekuriˈtate], Romanian for security) was the popular term for the Departamentul Securității Statului (Department of State Security), the secret police agency of the Socialist Republic of Romania. Previously, before the communist regime, Romanian secret police was called Siguranța Statului. It was founded on 30 August 1948, with help and direction from the Soviet MGB. Following the overthrow of Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989, the new authorities assigned the various intelligence tasks of the DSS to new institutions.\n\nGheorghe Pintilie, the first Director General of the Securitate\n\nThe General Directorate for the Security of the People (Romanian initials: DGSP, but more commonly just called the Securitate) was officially founded on 30 August 1948, by Decree 221/30 of the Presidium of the Great National Assembly.[5] However, it had precursors going back to August 1944, following the coup d'état of 23 August.[5] Its stated purpose was to \"defend democratic conquests and guarantee the safety of the Romanian People's Republic against both internal and external enemies.\"[6]: 579\n\nThe Securitate was created with the help of SMERSH, the NKVD counter-intelligence unit. The SMERSH operation in Romania, called Brigada Mobilă (\"The Mobile Brigade\"), was led until 1948 by NKVD colonel Alexandru Nicolschi.[6]: 579 The first Director of the Securitate was NKVD general Gheorghe Pintilie (born Panteleymon Bondarenko, nicknamed \"Pantiușa\"). Alexandru Nicolschi (by then a general) and another Soviet officer, Major General Vladimir Mazuru, held the deputy directorships. Wilhelm Einhorn was the first Securitate secretary.\n\nAs Vladimir Tismăneanu says, \"If one does not grasp the role of political thugs such as the Soviet spies Pintilie Bondarenko (Pantiușa) and Alexandru Nikolski in the exercise of terror in Romania during the most horrible Stalinist period, and their personal connections with Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and members of his entourage, it is difficult to understand the origins and the role of the Securitate\".[7]\n\nInitially, many of the agents of the Securitate were former Royal Security Police (named General Directorate of Safety Police—Direcția Generală a Poliției de Siguranță in Romanian) members. However, before long, Pantiușa ordered anyone who had served the monarchy's police in any capacity arrested, and in the places of the Royal Security Policemen, he hired ardent members of the Romanian Communist Party (PCR), to ensure total loyalty within the organization.\n\nSeveral Securitate operatives were killed in action, especially in the early 1950s. As listed by the internal news bulletin on the occasion of Securitate's twentieth anniversary, in 1968, these included major Constantin Vieru, senior lieutenant Ștefan Vămanu, lieutenant Iosif Sipoș, sub-lieutenant Vasile Costan, platoon leader Constantin Apăvăloaie and corporal Alexandru Belate. Furthermore, lieutenant Ionel Jora was killed by the son of a suspect he had apprehended.[8]",

"In the 1980s, the Securitate launched a massive campaign to stamp out dissent in Romania, manipulating the country's population with vicious rumors (such as supposed contacts with Western intelligence agencies), machinations, frameups, public denunciations, encouraging conflict between segments of the population, public humiliation of dissidents, toughened censorship and the repression of even the smallest gestures of independence by intellectuals. Often the term \"intellectual\" was used by the Securitate to describe dissidents with higher education, such as college and university students, writers, directors, and scientists who opposed the philosophy of the Romanian Communist Party. Assassinations were also used to silence dissent, such as the attempt to kill high-ranking defector Ion Mihai Pacepa, who received two death sentences from Romania in 1978, and on whose head Ceaușescu decreed a bounty of two million US dollars. Yasser Arafat and Muammar al-Gaddafi each added one more million dollars to the reward.[10] In the 1980s, Securitate officials allegedly hired Carlos the Jackal to assassinate Pacepa.[11]\n\nForced entry into homes and offices and the planting of microphones was another tactic the Securitate used to extract information from the general population. Telephone conversations were routinely monitored, and all internal and international fax and telex communications were intercepted. In August 1977, when the Jiu Valley coal miners' unions went on strike, several leaders died prematurely, and it was later discovered that Securitate doctors had subjected them to five-minute chest X-rays in an attempt to have them develop cancer.[12] After birth rates fell, Securitate agents were placed in gynecological wards while regular pregnancy tests were made mandatory for women of child-bearing age, with severe penalties for anyone who was found to have terminated a pregnancy.[12]\n\nThe Securitate's presence was so ubiquitous that it was believed one out of four Romanians was an informer. In truth, the Securitate deployed one agent or informer for every 43 Romanians, which was still large enough to make it practically impossible for dissidents to organize. The regime deliberately fostered this sense of ubiquity, believing that the fear of being watched was sufficient to bend the people to Ceaușescu's will. For example, one shadow group of dissidents limited itself to only three families; any more than that would have attracted Securitate attention.[13] In truth, the East German Stasi was even more ubiquitous than the Securitate; counting informers, the Stasi had one spy for every 6.5 East Germans.[14]\n\nAfter Ceaușescu was ousted, the new authorities replaced the Securitate with a few special and secret services like the SRI (Romanian Intelligence Service) (with internal tasks such as counterespionage), the SIE (Foreign Intelligence Service), the SPP (Protection and Guard Service) (the former Directorate V), the STS (Special Telecommunications Service) (the former General Directorate for Technical Operations), etc.\n\nToday, the National Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives (abbreviated CNSAS, for Consiliul Național pentru Studierea Arhivelor Securității) \"is the authority that administrates the archives of the former communist secret services in Romania and develops educational programs and exhibitions with the aim of preserving the memories of victims of the communist regime.\"[15]\n\nThe General Directorate for Technical Operations (Direcția Generală de Tehnică Operativă — DGTO) was an integral part of the Securitate' s activities.[16] Established with the assistance of the KGB in the mid-1950s, the DGTO monitored all voice and electronic communications in the country.[16] The DGTO intercepted all telephone, telegraph, and telex communications coming into and going out of the country.[16] It secretly implanted microphones in public buildings and private residences to record ordinary conversations among citizens.[16]\n\nThe Directorate for Counterespionage conducted surveillance against foreigners—Soviet nationals in particular—to monitor or impede their contacts with Romanians.[16] It enforced a variety of restrictions preventing foreigners from residing with ordinary citizens, keeping them from gaining access to foreign embassy compounds and requesting asylum, and requiring them to report any contact with foreigners to the Securitate within twenty-four hours.[16] Directorate IV was responsible for similar counterespionage functions within the armed forces, and its primary mission was identifying and neutralizing Soviet penetrations.[16]\n\nThe Directorate for Foreign Intelligence conducted Romania's espionage operations in other countries, such as those of Western Europe. Among those operations sanctioned by the Communist government were industrial espionage to obtain nuclear technology, and plots to assassinate dissidents, such as Matei Pavel Haiducu was tasked with, though he informed French authorities, faking the assassinations before defecting to France.\n\nMap of forced labor camps along the Danube–Black Sea Canal\n\nThe Directorate for Penitentiaries operated Romania's prisons, which were notorious for their horrendous conditions. Prisoners were routinely beaten, denied medical attention, had their mail taken away from them, and sometimes even administered lethal doses of poison. Some of the harshest prisons were those at Aiud, Gherla, Pitești, Râmnicu Sarat, and Sighet, as well as the forced labor camps along the Danube–Black Sea Canal and at Periprava.\n\nThe Directorate for Internal Security was originally given the task of monitoring the activities going on in the PCR. But after Ion Mihai Pacepa's defection in 1978 and his exposing details of the Ceaușescu regime, such as the collaboration with Arab radical groups, massive espionage on American industry targets and elaborate efforts to rally Western political support, international infiltration and espionage in the Securitate only increased, much to Ceaușescu's anger. In order to solve this problem the entire Division was reorganized and was charged with rooting out dissent in the PCR. A top secret division of this Directorate was formed from forces loyal personally to Ceaușescu and charged with monitoring the Securitate itself.[citation needed] It acted almost as a Securitate for the Securitate, and was responsible for bugging the phones of other Securitate officers and PCR officials to ensure total loyalty.\n\nNational Commission for Visas and Passports[edit]\n\nThe National Commission for Visas and Passports controlled all travel and immigration in and out of Romania. In effect, traveling abroad was all but impossible for anyone but highly placed Party officials, and any ordinary Romanian who applied for a passport was immediately placed under surveillance. Many Jews and ethnic Germans were given passports and exit visas through tacit agreements with the Israeli and West German governments.[17]\n\nThe Directorate for Security Troops acted as a 20,000-strong paramilitary force for the government, equipped with artillery and armoured personnel carriers. The security troops selected new recruits from the same annual pool of conscripts that the armed services used. The police performed routine law enforcement functions including traffic control and issuance of internal identification cards to citizens. Organized in the late 1940s to defend the new regime, in 1989 the security troops had 20,000 soldiers. They were an elite, specially trained paramilitary force organized like motorized rifle (infantry) units equipped with small arms, artillery, and armored personnel carriers, but their mission was considerably different.[18]\n\nThe security troops were directly responsible through the Minister of the Interior to Ceaușescu. They guarded important installations including PCR county and central office buildings and radio and television stations. The Ceaușescu regime presumably could call the security troops into action as a private army to defend itself against a military coup d'état or other domestic challenges and to suppress antiregime riots, demonstrations, or strikes.[18]\n\nTo ensure total loyalty amongst these crack troops, there were five times as many political officers in the Directorate for Security Troops than there were in the regular army.[18] They adhered to stricter discipline than in the regular military, but they were rewarded with special treatment and enjoyed far superior living conditions compared to their countrymen.[18] They guarded television and radio stations, as well as PCR buildings. In the event of a coup, they would have been called in to protect the regime.\n\nAfter the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the Directorate for Security Troops was disbanded and replaced first by the Guard and Order Troops (Trupele de Pază și Ordine), and in July 1990 by the Gendarmerie.\n\nThe Directorate for Militia controlled Romania's Miliția, the standard police force, which carried out regular policing tasks such as traffic control, public order, etc. In 1990 it was replaced by the Romanian Police."

"Engine Company No. 1 building on Chestnut Street. (Click to expand.)\n\nThere has been a firehouse on Chestnut Street since the former Borough built one there in 1879 (at a cost of $2,184). The present Engine No.1 firehouse dates from 1949. It was originally supposed to be at the corner of Hamilton and Chestnut, but ended up in a different lot mid-block. From its opening until 1963, the Chestnut St firehouse was also home to Princeton First Aid and Rescue Service, which subsequently moved to its present location on North Harrison Street. The 1949 firehouse is built in a very traditional style (by contrast, ground broke on Princeton University’s daringly modernist Robertson Hall just 14 years subsequent, in 1963).",

"Memorial to fallen firefighters at the Engine No.1 firehouse on Chestnut Street in Princeton (click to expand.)\n\nFaced with a potential reorganization of Princeton’s three firehouses, this building could become surplus to requirements in the coming years. In fact, at the time that this photo was taken, the mail had not been picked up, there were no fire trucks in the building, and no signs that the firehouse was seeing active use. The building was found to have structural problems in 2010, which made it too risky to store fire equipment there, and required emergency repairs.\n\nPrinceton Council has established a task force that is studying the potential for moving all firefighting operations into the Mercer Engine N0.3 firehouse, which might be expanded. If that comes to pass, the Engine No.1 building on Chestnut Street would be a strong candidate for some kind of historic preservation, or sympathetic reuse that would allow this attractive piece of Princeton history to survive.\n\nHow would you feel about redevelopment of the Chestnut Street firehouse? Would you be concerned if it was demolished? Leave your comments below.\n\nThis entry was posted in Beautiful Walkable Princeton and tagged Princeton. Bookmark the permalink."

Although agency officials remain confident that personal information was not stolen, a more pressing question remains: Could other hackers breach the website to obtain the sensitive data?\n\nIn the lead-up to Obamacare’s launch, Democrats wrote off Republicans’ repeated concern over privacy issues, calling the worries paranoia, according to Breitbart News. But those early fears that Healthcare.gov could be hacked appear more prescient than ever."

"Chancellor Karrie Dixon has a secret to share: Elizabeth City State University is home to the only four-year aviation science program in North Carolina, the “first in flight” state. When she came on board in 2018, she realized the institution had, to its detriment, kept its jewel hidden for far too long.\n\n“No one is doing aviation,” says Dixon, 46. “I made aviation our signature program. And the phone is ringing off the hook because people in our own state had no idea we had such a valuable program and how we are contributing to the airline industry. People didn’t know the story.”\n\nECSU’s size and location in the state’s rural northeast make it easy to overlook. With fall 2020 enrollment of 2,002, it’s second-smallest of the 16 four-year campuses in the UNC System. But reaching 2,000 students is a success story. In the years before Dixon’s arrival, state lawmakers discussed closing the university because of declining enrollment and weakening academic performance. Enrollment slumped from about 2,900 students in 2011 to fewer than 1,400 five years later.\n\nBut a combination of new programs and leadership changed the school’s course. The N.C. General Assembly provided $2.5 million in stabilization funds in 2017, including $1.6 million for the aviation science program. It was also one of three campuses designated as NC Promise schools with in-state tuition of $1,000 a year, a discount of more than 75% from most other UNC campuses.\n\nDixon was serving as an executive for the UNC System when former system President Margaret Spellings appointed her to a task force to develop a plan for ECSU. Spellings made her interim chancellor in April 2018, then assigned her to the post permanently eight months later.\n\nWhen Dixon came on board, the Winston-Salem native introduced what she called an accountability, commitment and excellence mindset to the school’s culture. “I made it a commitment when I came here as chancellor for people to love where they work,” Dixon says. “I wanted our students to love where they live and learn.”\n\nLast year, the university launched its five-year strategic plan, Forging Our Future. “[It’s] our road map to get ECSU where it needs to be,” Dixon says. “Everything we do, we want to tie it to our strategic plan.”\n\nAn unexpected $15 million donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott should help achieve those plans. It was one of three historically Black institutions in North Carolina to receive a combined $90 million from Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. “To even get on MacKenzie Scott’s radar was just an amazing opportunity for us,” Dixon says. Scott has donated $4.2 billion in the past year to many causes — with no strings attached to the grants.\n\nWhen Dixon received a call from the staff of an unnamed donor, she got the impression that quality of leadership would be a high priority in determining who received money. Scott’s team asked ECSU officials questions about education performance metrics and the satisfaction of staff and faculty. They also studied relations between the university and Elizabeth City, which has about 18,000 residents and is 170 miles east of Raleigh.\n\n“What stood out to me is that people were taking notice of the strength in leadership that we have at ECSU,” Dixon says. “It also helped that we scored the highest percentage increase within the UNC System for employee satisfaction.”\n\nAbout $10 million is being invested to shore up the university’s finances and help improve its credit rating, Dixon says. ECSU has a Baa2 rating from Moody’s Investors Service, which is its second-lowest investment-grade rating. The Scott donation will not be mixed with the school’s two major existing endowments, a $9 million general university fund and a $6 million foundation account, she says. By comparison, endowments at the two other UNC campuses in eastern North Carolina are much larger, topping $200 million at East Carolina University in Greenville and $100 million at UNC Wilmington.\n\nThe other $5 million from Scott will immediately support the university’s strategic initiatives. Dixon plans to expand academic offerings, provide more faculty and staff professional development, purchase materials for labs and offer new experiences for students in and out of the classroom.\n\nECSU was in desperate need of a strong leader, says Harold Barnes, a Suffolk, Va., leadership training consultant and 1977 alumnus who joined the school’s board of trustees in 2015. He had heard talk of closing the school, so he contacted N.C. State Sen. Bob Steinburg of Edenton to express his concerns.\n\nAfter a year on the board, Barnes says he noticed weakness in every area of the administration. He became chairman and in 2018 headed the search committee that led to Dixon’s hiring. He envisioned someone who would analyze each department to locate the fragile areas.\n\n“I saw what dire conditions the university was in,” Barnes says. “We knew we needed a leader that could steer us in the right direction.”\n\nDixon’s experience at the university-system level made her a frontrunner in the search, Barnes says. After earning a bachelor’s degree in communications at N.C. State University, she worked as a journalist at Capitol Broadcasting in Raleigh. She later moved into a marketing job and then university work after earning a master’s in speech communications from UNC Greensboro and a doctorate in education from N.C. State.\n\nShe rose through the ranks at the Raleigh research university to become assistant vice provost, then joined the UNC System as vice president for academic and student affairs in 2008.\n\nHer transition into the chancellor role wasn’t smooth, which isn’t surprising given that she was the fourth person to hold the post in less than three years. Dixon is among five female and six Black chancellors in the UNC System.\n\n“[The community was] hostile to her when she first came,” Barnes says. “People wrote letters to the press, letters to other people. She came in, not like a hatchet person, but like someone who wanted to better the university and lift it forward. She had stringent standards that you had to meet, and if you were willing to meet those standards, she was waiting to pat you on the back for having achieved something.”\n\nThe percentage of ECSU students who are graduating within five years of enrollment has increased during Dixon’s tenure, though the roughly 40% rate remains among the lowest in the UNC System. In December, employee satisfaction at ECSU led the system, according to a study by Wilmington, Del.-based ModernThink.\n\nBarnes cites Dixon’s listening skills as a key to her success. “We all came through as partners with the chancellor,” Barnes says. “If you had ideas and if you had solutions to problems, she was willing to listen to those solutions. If they were better than her own, she was willing to change.”\n\nECSU celebrated its 130th anniversary in March. It opened in 1891 in Pasquotank County, bordering the Albemarle Sound and close to the Virginia state line. Initially intended to educate Black teachers, it went through several iterations before joining the UNC System in 1972.\n\nWhile ECSU has a historically Black heritage, it’s one of the state’s most diverse schools, with more than a third of the students identifying as white, Hispanic, American Indian or Asian. Almost 60% are women, and 81% are from North Carolina.\n\nAs is the case at UNC Pembroke and Western Carolina University, the low-tuition NC Promise program has boosted ECSU’s prominence.\n\n“NC Promise has definitely been the catalyst for ECSU’s enrollment growth,” Dixon says. “[It] also promotes access to a quality education at an affordable price to our citizens. That speaks volumes to the commitment the state has, especially because we are surrounded by 21 counties that are … some of the most economically distressed counties in the state.”\n\nIn the late 1990s, the Federal Aviation Administration chose ECSU to help finance an aviation science program in an effort to encourage the development of more Black pilots. It started offering the program as a minor, and it became a major in 2002.\n\nStudent enrollment in the aviation program has grown from 68 students in 2018 to 127 students last fall. During that period, Dixon expanded the fleet from two to 14 Cessna and Beechcraft airplanes. Dixon worked with the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station in Elizabeth City to fund a $25 million renovation of an aging runway. Once completed, students will have access to two runways.\n\n“One thing that keeps me up at night is the idea of having to cap our program if we don’t have continuous investment,” Dixon says.\n\nAlumni work as air traffic controllers, avionic technicians and commercial pilots with companies such as American Airlines, United Airlines and others. Most get jobs within six months of graduation.\n“The airlines come after them,” Dixon says. “It’s a good thing because [students] are reaching their career goals.”\n\nIn March, the FAA granted ECSU permission to offer a Restricted Airline Transport Pilot certification. This allows students to earn an airline pilot license with 1,000 flight hours rather than 1,500. “This is a game changer,” Dixon says. “It moves our students faster and closer to becoming an airline pilot.” ■"

"The Anzob Tunnel, sometimes referred to as Istiqlol or Ushtur Tunnel, is an important tunnel that is located on the M34 highway which connects the cities of Dushanbe and Khujand in the western part of the Republic of Tajikistan. The great importance of the tunnel comes from the connection link it represents, since it connects Tajikistan’s capital city with the second biggest city in the country, Khujand.",
null,
"Previously, in order for the Tajik people to get from one to the other city, they had to travel across the border to Uzbekistan via a dirt road which was dangerous as it had severe avalanches that blocked the road which in turn left the people with the more expensive option to fly to Khujand.",
null,
"For now, Anzob Tunnel is not illuminated, it is almost always flooded and the enormous potholes represent even greater danger to the travelers as they are spread throughout the tunnel and really difficult to spot. With total length of 5 km (3 mi), and cost of some 4 billion dollars, the tunnel was built by Iran and officially opened in 2006 with the purpose of promoting the new Silk Road which will connect Iran and China.",
null,
"Despite the enormous cost, the Tajik Government had to build it due to the long-term diplomatic disputes the country had with Uzbekistan, as they were halting traffic whenever they wanted. According to the locals, the tunnel is also known as “The Tunnel of Death” because there are some stories telling that they have seen people who were trapped inside and died due to suffocation from carbon monoxide.",
null,
"Even after partial completion of the project, limited traffic was allowed to pass through the tunnel in order for the travelers to avoid being stopped in Uzbekistan, however, in May 2014 the government signed an agreement for the Iranians to finish with the construction.",
null,
"The Iranian company Sabir Co. did some repair work with the hope to improve the conditions, nonetheless, there are still big problems with which the vehicles are facing. Officially inaugurated in August 2017, and reportedly being in much better condition, Anzob Tunnel is still considered to be among the most dangerous ones in the world, and probably will stay on the list as it needs much more improvements to be done.",

"Trade is generally argued to be good for economic growth, as it allows countries to specialise in those goods in which they have a comparative advantage and thus produce and consume more of all goods in total. However, trade inevitably leads to winners and losers, especially as countries impose tariffs on imports in order to protect domestic industries. This has been the case in the banana industry.\n\nBanana growers in the former European colonies have long been protected by EU tariffs, helping to prevent competition from their Latin American banana growers. But, now things could be about to change. In December 2009, most of the nations concerned reached an agreement in Geneva for tariffs imposed by the EU to be gradually reduced.",
null,
"The European Union had imposed no duty on bananas from their former colonies, but had imposed tariffs on banana imports from other countries. This meant that those countries now benefiting from zero import duty could sell their bananas for a much lower price, therefore restricting the other nations (who did have to pay an import duty) from competing effectively.",

"With the World Trade Organisation in attendance, an agreement was signed that puts an end to this trade dispute dating back over 2 decades. The Director General of the WTO, Pascal Lamy said:\n\n‘This is a truly historic moment … After so many twists and turns, these complicated and politically contentious disputes can finally be put to bed. It has taken so long that quite a few people who worked on the cases, both in the Secretariat and in member governments have retired long ago.’\n\nThis trade war has been ongoing for many years and this agreement represents a big step in the right direction. With a fairer playing field in this banana market, countries in Latin America will now be much more able to compete with other nations. As economists argue that trade is good, a reduction in protectionist measures should be seen as a good thing and will benefit the countries concerned. The following articles consider this trade resolution."

"The Barlow Road is a historic wagon road that created a new route on the Oregon Trail in 1846. Until the road was opened, the overland portion of the Oregon Trail effectively ended in The Dalles. Mount Hood, and the Cascade Range in general, was an insurmountable obstacle to early wagon trains. Settlers who had survived the nearly 2,000-mile journey from Independence, Missouri, found The Dalles crowded with other emigrants awaiting expensive and dangerous passage down the Columbia River. They paid barge operators to float their wagons down the river while they walked the path along its banks or drove their livestock over Lolo Pass, a narrow, high-elevation pass ten miles northwest of Mount Hood. The Barlow Road, although rough and steep, was passable by large wagon trains, and its construction significantly increased emigration to Oregon.\n\nThe eighty-mile Barlow Road began at The Dalles, running south through Dufur to the Tygh Valley, where it veered west across Tygh, Rock, and Gate Creeks. The road then crossed the White River before ascending northwest along Barlow Creek. It skirted the south side of Barlow Butte, heading west past Summit Meadows and Government Camp to descend the steep Laurel Hill. From there, the road continued north and west, following Camp Creek to the Sandy River, where it crossed to the north bank. It passed Rock Corral en route to Marmot, where the road then followed the Devil's Backbone southwest back across the Sandy River. After crossing Eagle Creek near Foster's Place and the Clackamas River at Feldheimer's Ford, the road passed through Logan and then ventured northwest to terminate at Oregon City.\n\nSam Barlow, a fifty-three-year-old settler and leader of a wagon train, had arrived in The Dalles in 1845 to find the town overrun by stalled emigrant parties. Frustrated by the situation, he was determined to find an alternative route to the Willamette Valley. In September of that year, Barlow's train and another operated by H.M. Knighton set out to investigate an Indian trail that led across the southern slope of Mount Hood to Willamette Falls. After heading south for approximately twenty miles, Knighton turned back, convinced that a wagon route would be impossible.\n\nBarlow’s seven wagons forged ahead into the Mount Hood foothills, near Tygh Creek in present-day Wasco County. He left his party there for several days while he and three men scouted a possible route around the mountain. When he returned to the valley, he found that twenty-three additional wagons had arrived under the leadership of Joel Palmer, a thirty-five-year-old Indiana emigrant. Palmer had talked with local Indians about the trail and had learned in The Dalles about Barlow's intention to find a route around Mount Hood.\n\nBarlow and Palmer joined forces, and the expanded party began burning and cutting a trail through dense forest and over the Mount Hood foothills. The two men, accompanied by William Rector, scouted the trail in advance of the wagon party. On October 12, Palmer, Barlow’s twenty-two-year-old son William, and a Mr. Lock ascended the south face of Mount Hood to spot a way through the western foothills.\n\nWith snow on its way, the group stashed their wagons and supplies at a place they named Fort Deposit, just east of a newly blazed trail over what is now known as Barlow Pass. Several members of the party were assigned winter guard duty, remaining with the supplies until the weather broke in the spring. The bulk of the party, including Barlow and Palmer, continued by pack train and arrived in Oregon City late in 1845.\n\nBarlow wasted no time in petitioning Oregon’s provisional legislature for a charter to construct a toll road along the new route. The legislature approved the petition for the Mount Hood Toll Road, popularly named the Barlow Road. Barlow organized a partnership with businessman Philip Foster, who owned a farmstead near Eagle Creek. Financed by $4,000 from Foster, Barlow hired forty men and began building the toll road early in 1846. The most difficult section of the trail, near Laurel Hill, reached a 60 percent grade that required wagons be lowered down the hill by ropes.\n\nThe one-way toll road—east to west—was formally opened later in 1846, with tolls regulated at five dollars for each wagon and ten cents a head for livestock. In its first year of operation, the Barlow Road recorded approximately 1,000 emigrants and 150 wagons through its five tollgates. Close to 25 percent of emigrants that year arrived in Oregon by way of the Barlow Road.\n\nBarlow’s two-year concession on the toll road ended in 1848, at which time Barlow and Foster dissolved their partnership, having grown weary of the largely unprofitable venture. Private owners continued to administer the toll road for the next seventy years, with varying degrees of success. In 1914, the road passed to attorney and State Senator George W. Joseph through the disputed will of Portland businessman E. Henry Wemme. Joseph and his wife bequeathed the road to the State of Oregon in 1919.\n\nMuch of the Barlow Road was later incorporated into the Mount Hood Highway (Highway 26). Surviving sections of the original road, including wagon ruts, can still be found at various points, including near Barlow Creek, Laurel Hill, and Pioneer Woman's Grave. A replica tollgate stands near Rhododendron at the site of the last tollgate on the original road.\n\nIn 1978, the Oregon Trail, including the Barlow Road, was awarded National Historic Trail status. Protection of the road expanded in 1992 when the Barlow Road was granted Historic District status and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.",

"Mitch Maley has been a freelance journalist in the Tampa area for the past two decades. Earlier this week, he shocked a handful of marginally-interested readers by confessing to his involvement in a conspiracy organized by globalists intent on ringing in a new world order.\n\nOn Monday, I attended an impromptu press conference that Maley, 45, had hastily organized behind Scarlett’s Ybor Strip. No other members of the press had shown by the time I arrived and Maley—a large, hulking man with a shaved head roughly the size of a watermelon—was smoking medical cannabis from a dab pen, while leaning against the wall when I caught his attention. Wearing frayed denim cutoffs, flip flops and a faded Joanie Loves Chachi t-shirt, he was looking worse for the wear.\n\n“Look, I’m out, okay?” said a disheveled Maley, who at times bordered on incoherent during the 20-minute junket. “I carried their water for years. I swallowed my pride and wrote those bullshit articles about global warming and a guy whose middle name was Hussein not being an Arab or a Muslim! I kept my lips zipped about that rip in the time space continuum when that pill-head fucked up the supercollider and never said a word when they erased all records of Shazaam!”\n\n“Yeah, that stupid movie where Sinbad was the genie,” screamed Maley, spittle flying everywhere and no mask (N-95 or otherwise) in sight. “Everyone saw it, everyone knows it existed. Hell, 200,000 teenage boys got hand jobs from their girlfriends at drive-ins during its run, but go online and try and find it? Go to IMDB, nothing! Go to Netflix, nothing! Hell, you can’t even find that flick on Crackle—and they got Joe Dirt 2 on Crackle!”\n\nJust then, a metal security door swung open and an Asian waitress or dancer from the club emerged, handing Maley a Yuengling.\n\n“Tā shì shéi?” the small woman barked with a shrug that suggested it was a question.\n\nMaley grabbed her wrist aggressively and leaned in toward her tiny face.\n\nThe woman issued me a suspicious side glance before retreating back into the building.\n\n“I thought all clubs were closed?” I asked.\n\nMaley arched an eyebrow and chuckled.\n\n“Who can go where is always a fluid situation, my friend,” he said with a wink. “This whole thing has been a boon for champagne rooms, I can tell you that much. It’s just that they’re on the side of the ledger that never gets accounted for.”\n\n“Does she work at the club,” I asked, immediately regretting the question.\n\n“Who knows?” he said, hitting the vape pen before taking a long pull from the green beer bottle she’d handed him. “She could be Yakuza, she could be Triad. Hell, she could be fucking Mossad for all I know. What? You don’t think Mossad’s got Vietnamese agents? It’s 2020, my good man.”\n\nHe looked at me with the crazed eyes of a rabid coyote, arched a brow and nodded. I pretended to understand what he was talking about, offering a weak nod and muted chuckle. Maley smiled and began kneading the scruff of my neck—right at the spot where a better developed man’s trapezius muscles would be—with his giant monster hands. After an uncomfortable amount of time had elapsed, I pressed on, hoping he’d stop.\n\n“Was there, uh … something you were gonna announce?” I finally asked, looking side to side in a way that I hoped would remind the giant lunatic that I was the only reporter who had shown up for the scrum. His face registered indignation, but at least he withdrew the hand.\n\n“Uh, yeah, that I’m done!” he shouted. “Finished! I’m out of the whole thing. I’m not coming to the Bilderberg conference, and they can forget their overpriced dues for the Bohemian Grove retreat. Why the fuck should I have to pay good money to see Slick Willie playing grab ass with Dick Cheney at some homoerotic third-rate bonfire where Mitch McConnell’s saggy balls are always hanging out of his toga like two eggs at the bottom of a nylon stocking? The food is shit and they replaced all of the Asian prostitutes with cheaper ones from Eastern Europe!”\n\n“They say they’re from Ukraine, but one look at the suspect dentistry and you know they got ’em from Serbia.”\n\n“I’m not sure I get—” I stammered, as he gave me brisk slap with the back of his hand, causing my knees to buckle.\n\n“Sorry,” he said politely, as he recommenced with the painful shoulder massage, leaning in to softly kiss the crown of my head. “Look, I’m a single dad. I owe money all over town. I had Brady going to the Chargers at 2-1 and Gronk starring in an online reboot of Girls Gone Wild next year—on a fucking cruise ship, no less. I can’t even cover the vig, let alone the nut. If it weren’t for the monthly check from the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation and the annual bonus from George Soros, I wouldn’t be able to put food on the table. You know the score.”\n\nHe stared into my eyes for a long time, as if I was supposed to know what to say next.\n\n“The vaccine, man!” he screamed. “We were supposed to get the vaccine!”\n\nI felt a lump in my throat as I swallowed.\n\n“Every year, whoever did the best job advancing the Clinton agenda would get to board the Lolita Express and enjoy a 10-day all-expense-paid trip to Fuck Island!” blared Maley, a thumb-sized vein quivering over the temple of a head that literally seemed to be growing during our interview. “I was this goddamned close,” he shouted, one vice grip paw still molesting my shoulder, the other visually representing the modest distance between himself and the infamous den of iniquity off the coast of the Bahamas.\n\n“I put my time in, I waited my turn,” he continued. “Snowden earned it, no argument there. So did that spook that capped Seth Rich before he sang like that dead broad from the Cranberries, but this was my year! Then they go and fake his death, send him off to some undisclosed location managed by the Illuminati at the far edge of the flat Earth where they do all those fake space shots, release one of their bio-engineered viruses to tank the stock market and get the chips in people, and turn off the safe 3G service to all of our burner phones.”\n\n“So?,” he screamed, throwing the now empty bottle on the ground, where it smashed into pieces. “So, you think these cocksuckers are listed in the phone book, Ace? They call you! If the phones are off, that means you’re no longer needed!”\n\n“So, what will you do now?” I asked, hoping to God there would be something resembling a point to this whole encounter.\n\n“I go legit,” he said. “I see if Breitbart or the Epoch Times will take me on. I mean it’s not like OAN would ever touch me at this point.”\n\nSuddenly, his jaw dropped and his face went pale. He was looking at something behind me. I turned to see a black helicopter, silent, despite the fact that its rotor blades were still still turning at full speed. Two men in black suits and dark sunglasses pushed me aside and stuck Maley’s neck with a syringe. His giant head fell to the side and the two men each put an arm under one of his shoulders, as his body buckled. I cowered in fear, certain I was next, but they moved right past me, dragging him toward the chopper.\n\n“I won’t print anything, I swear,” I screamed, as they shoved his comatose body onto the bird, his enormous head hitting the metal above the door opening with a thud as they did so.\n\nOne of the men, turned back toward me and lowered his shades.\n\n“Yes, you will,” he said. “Tell them everything. Most people won’t believe a word. The ones who need to know, however …”\n\nHe gave a knowing shrug and jumped into the chopper, which silently ascended into the vanilla sky of the evening dusk. It seemed to be heading south and, for a moment, I thought maybe they were taking him to Fuck Island after all and smiled at the thought of him cavorting with nubile woman from exotic locales. Deep down, however, I knew better.\n\nDr. Ringo Khan is a freelance journalist and part-time DoorDash employee. He holds a PhD (equivalent) in “general studies” from Khan Academy (no relation).

"WASHINGTON (AP) — A group of Senate Republicans on Thursday unveiled a public works proposal with a much smaller price tag and a narrower definition of infrastructure than what President Joe Biden has proposed, highlighting the stark differences between the two sides that will be difficult to bridge in coming months.\n\nThe price of the Republican proposal came in at $568 billion over five years, compared to the $2.3 trillion that Biden has called for spending over eight years.\n\nTo help pay for their plan, the Republicans would rely on user fees, including for electric vehicles, and on redirecting unspent federal dollars. The outline does not offer specifics, such as which programs would receive funding. Biden has proposed raising the corporate income tax from 21% to 28% to help pay for his plan, a move the Republican senators rejected.\n\nRepublican lawmakers have been quick to criticize the infrastructure proposal from Biden. They say just a fraction of the spending would go to traditional infrastructure. Biden's plan devotes $400 billion to expand Medicaid support for caregivers, and substantial portions would fund electric vehicle charging stations and address the racial injustice of highways that were built in ways that devastated Black neighborhoods.\n\nThe Republican plan would dedicate $299 billion to roads and bridges, $65 billion to broadband internet and $61 billion to transit. Missing from the plan is Biden's focus on electric vehicle charging stations and caregiver support.\n\nRepublicans earlier this year also offered a counterproposal to Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan. Their price tag came in at about one-third of what the president wanted, and he soon declared it inadequate. Democrats went forward on their own and passed the relief bill without the support of any GOP lawmaker.\n\nBiden is spending more time this go-around listening to Republicans and voicing a willingness to consider their ideas, but the end result could be the same. Democrats are intent on passing a major infrastructure boost this year and could use the budget reconciliation process to bypass GOP opposition."

"You would be forgiven for thinking this website is written and managed by someone with, if not mild schizophrenia, at least the mind of a child. And the body of a child. And the attention span of a small bridge capable of producing it’s own tension. [Insert joke here.]\nBut no, the schizophrenia is yet to be diagnosed, adulthood was pronounced terminal nearly three years ago upon graduation from university, and you’re reading the words of a man fully capable of making his own indecisions; though he compensates with self-deprecation and hates it when people speak in the third person.\nYou would too though if you had the option of instead being self-referential in second person while throwing in a second punchline to a joke nobody noticed the first time around.\nLong story short (story?)

"A couple months ago, I took a week off of work for the kids’ Spring break and we headed up north on a road trip.\n\nDriving in New Zealand is not really a fun experience. It’s often quite lovely, as you are threading your way by deep gorges covered in subtropical foliage, or along a rugged coastline, but it is almost entirely two lane roads that wend their way precariously along them. Much of the time, the maximum speed is 40 mph. So even though distances look short on a map, like 2 inches, it can take HOURS to get anywhere.\n\nWe drove to Auckland, excited to find a real sushi place, as we were going to the big city. In this, we were entirely disappointed. I have yet to find sushi here that even matches with the average roll you’d find at Whole Foods back home, sadly. It’s all futomaki and filled with traditional Japanese meats such as fried chicken. We were kindly hosted by our friend Chris’ parents there, and headed out early in the morning.\n\nOur first stop was to the Waipu caves, tucked off road on a gravel path. New Zealand is well known for glowworm caves, where you walk in and after giving your eyes a minute to adjust, look as if you’re outside under the stars because of the thousands of tiny little glowing creatures covering the roof and walls of the caves. It’s so beautiful, and we first saw this at the heavily trafficked tourist haven of Waitomo last year where you are sheperded in a line and sit in a tiny canoe on a track for five minutes to see the magic. These caves, however, are entirely free. You pull up, walk across a grassy field of muck and down you go, open to explore to your heart’s content.",
null,
"The unassuming entrance to the caves\n\nAs we pulled up, a group of French tourists got out, completely bedecked in spelunking gear. Waterproof pants, jackets, headlamps, hiking boots with covers, they were PREPARED. As we are trying to be more culturally sensitive here, we decided to do it the Kiwi way – barefoot and using our phone flashlight to navigate. The kids and I scampered forth and may have left Eric behind, which he may have been a bit upset about given that he is not fond of caves in the first place.",
null,
null,
null,
"Sadly, because I didn’t bring a camera and tripod to take long exposure pictures, you can’t see the glowworms the way we did, so you’ll just have to trust me on it. But it was incredibly cool to scramble around in the quiet underground with the Milky Way seemingly overhead, and feel the mud squelching between your toes.\n\nAfter that it was onward to Tutukaka, where I had been hoping for a snorkelling trip to the Poor Knights Islands, alas, the weather did not allow for this. Instead we spent a few pleasant days kayaking around the harbor and hiking the beautiful walks to be found around before heading to Russell.",
null,
null,
"Further up north, our first stop was the Waitangi Treaty grounds. The Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi in Maori) is a document signed in 1840 that theoretically establishes a governance of New Zealand by the British Commonwealth under the Crown, recognizes Maori land ownership and gives them the rights of British citizens. In practice, this is much more controversial. The English and Maori versions of the documents vary considerably in word and intent, and it cannot be argued that the two peoples have had a peaceful and equal existence since the signing of the Treaty. Today, the Treaty seems to be looked at still as a guiding document and one that is used to attempt to redress Colonial wrongs.",
null,
null,
"One of the big tourist draws in the Bay of Islands on the Northland East Coast is to take a boat tour that takes you out to Hole in the Rock. This is a large Rock in the middle of the Bay with a hole in it. I…don’t see the interest and whoever is responsible for the marketing is a genius. We had still hoped to take a boat out to one of the smaller islands for a trek around, but it was still winter season and we hadn’t planned very well, so instead ended up taking a small boat to go around a bit to one of the largely uninhabited islands. The boat had stand up paddleboards, and we enjoyed a pleasant hour floating about the isolated bay.",

They spent their first four months rehearsing then things happened quickly. Late in 1976, they were signed by Mushroom Records, in January '77 their first single, 'Best Deal In Town'/'Mountain Legend' was released, followed by the very bizarre 'Harry' (which featured a 1930s type sound) .\n\nThe band then enjoyed its only national chart success with their third single, a cover of the smooth soul/pop track How Long (originally by British band Ace). Scandal’s version reached #23 in Australia in May 1978. As the disc climbed the charts in May, their debut album, simply titled Scandal, was issued. It included a re-recorded, heavier sounding version of 'Best Deal In Town' and a classy track called 'She's A Lady' — released as their next single in June.",

"The band continued to tour until November '78 when they went off the road to prepare their second album. But all was not well in the Scandal camp. By the end of the month it was confirmed that they had split up, feeling they had achieved all they could in their present form Their final performance was in December.",

"Kerrison, Harriott and Watson decided to start a new band called The Extractors to be launched early in 1979, while Smith resolved to settle in Sydney. By August 1979, the three revived the Scandal name for a new band with Adrian Dessent on guitar, Greg Trennery on bass and Nat de Palma on drums. The new line-up was not successful and Kerrison left the music industry while Dessent went on to work with Wendy and the Rocketts. By 1983, Watson had joined Sydney band, The Venetians.

"Article from 'The Haze' by Michael Smith\n(Issue 16 - Autumn 2019. p 40-41)\nWith nearly 50 years in entertainment through performing onstage and writing about those who appear on one, the career of Katoomba's Michael Smith's is as long and dense as his white head of hair, lending him an appearance akin to a musical wizard. Corin Shearston reveals more ...\n\nIn a 2016 feature for Rhythms' Magazine, one of many in Michael's CV's of publications alongside The Music, the magazines Juke, Duke and RAM and the Journals Overland and Australian Musician, Smith recalls how his family lived in three different places in London before moving to the Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth, \"the Mt Druitt of South Australia\", for Michael to attend Elizabeth West Primary School. Throughout his schooling, Michael remained distantly aware of John 'Swanee' Swan, fellow student and older brother of Jimmy Barnes, in a connection to resurface in 1973 at Adelaide University in fourth year at Elizabeth High, Michael discovered guitar through the gift of a 'dodgy little acoustic' instrument making him fall from being a good student to barely scraping into Uni. His first of numerous bands, 'barely adequate' cover group 'Handle With Care assigned Smith with the position of singer and guitarist.\n\nThings really clicked in December 1971 through meeting 'real' guitarist and singer John Pryer at a Christmas party, a young man engrossed in a garage jam With fellow English migrant and drummer Steve Prestwich, direct from Liverpool. As Michael tells me, \"there was a bass in the corner. I picked it up and I found all that really bad lead guitar playing was perfect for really good bass playing.\" The jamming trio, dubbing themselves as Ice, went on to play about 20 gigs before disbanding - Fortunately Michael's time in Ice cemented his decision to be a bass player. The following year, a coincidental meeting with Swanee at a Blackfeather gig led to Michael signing up as bassist in the short lived group Tarkus (named after the LP released by the then popular Emerson, Lake and Palmer), 16 year old Jimmy Barnes' only covers group before joining what would become Cold Chisel. Or as Michael writes in Rhythms, 'just four young guys intent on making a racket together'.\n\nAfter a stint in the group Slim Pickings one year before helping found his first nationally successful group in 1975, Smith was in yet another covers group, Roadwork. The band was fronted by singer Stuart Kerrison, who Michael had replaced as bassist in Tarkus two years prior. Towards the end of 1975, Kerrison and keyboardist Chris Harriott grew restless, deciding to redesign their act with a new name, gaining popularity that lead to a signing with Mushroom Records in 1976 as Scandal.",
null,
"Thus began a three year career supporting the likes of ELO and 10CC over 550 gigs, while appearing on Countdown four times for each respective single from their self-titled and only album in 1978.\nHelping their success was the fact that all the really good Adelaide bands left for Sydney in 1976, including Cold Chisel and The Angels leaving Scandal to rise to the top of the heap. The group were an anomaly, \"four migrant kids from England with an Italian drummer and typically ridiculous English humour\", who also incorporated Flamboyant elements of pantomime into tracks like \"Harry\" and the album version of 'Best Deal In Town', which unlike the single was slow, sleazy, and featured ''alluring Parisian whistling' from Michael.\n\nDespite the novelty, Scandal were a hit. In a charity event at the Adelaide Royal Children's Hospital, the group were totally hyped, performing at vigorous rock 'n' roll speed and simply powering through their set, all with four part harmonies and tight arrangements.\n\nComing off stage, MC Ian 'Molly' Meldrum was blown away, going back to Melbourne to tell some of his friends the news, including Michael Gudinsky, Australian music mogul and founder of Mushroom Records. Glenn Wheatley of Oz Records got wind of the same thing, and both Gudinsky and Wheatley flew back to Adelaide to check out Scandal, landing the group with a record deal from Mushroom by end of the year. As Michael recalls, Scandal got signed with five original songs under their belt.",
null,
"Although \"Best Deal In Town\" and \"Harry\" both got to top 10 on the Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth charts, Scandal never really cracked it big, and Michael finished his Bachelor degree from Adelaide in Sydney, where the band had wound up.\n\nMichael tells me, \"after a year of floundering, trying to find a band that would work, I thought the best thing for me to do was go back to University, as a great way for me to clear my head.\" While completing a Masters Degree in English Literature in 1979, Michael was playing bass in indie groups No Traces and Phil de Void, the latter including Divinyls' rhythm guitarist Bjarne Ohlin. Michael's next group Pat Drummond's Skooldaze, was an academically-themed concept that\n\nwent on to spawn a mini musical and album with singer/songwriter and current Medlow Bath resident Pat Drummond at the helm. As Michael remembers, \"Pat's a lovely guy and songwriter but he's not a rockstar, and he looks like a school teacher. So we turned the stage into a classroom.\" Meanwhile, Scandal were still functioning under the name The Extractors, before ultimately falling apart. Funnily enough, keyboardist player Chris Harriott became a composer for TV shows like Bananas In Pyjamas, Hi-5 and McLeod's Daughters. Singer Stuart Kerrison ended up going to England to work as a sound man for such groups as Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and now runs a Norwegian studio in 1985. Michael interviewed the group China Doll for Juke, who later invited him to be their bass player. Transforming the group into hard rock five piece at the resignation of singer Shaylee Wilde in 1986.",
null,
"One of the most important things that Michael gained through Scandal was his career as a music journalist. After taking his first steps into music journalism with a low budget journal called Australian Musician, Michael was able to contact artist's he'd met through tours with Scandal and enquire on the possibility of articles, features, interviews and reviews, Building up the Australian Musician side of things, Michael then sent pieces to Duke and RAM, with the proposal of 'remember me', I was in Scandal, here's a review. So that's how I conned my way into rock journalism. And I'm still there\".",

".\nThis post consists of FLACs ripped from vinyl (thanks to Sunshine) and includes full album artwork and label scans. There are also a multitude of band photos included (not all displayed above) and a copy of the Haze Article. One thing that I really enjoy about this album is the diversity of musical styles demonstrated in each track and the great vocal harmonies, not dissimilar to those of Mother Goose. It is a shame that Scandal didn't go on to record a follow up album, as I'm sure their output would have been a lot more mature and a certain commercial success (in line with their hit single \"How Long\").\nUpdate: Just added a rare B-Side Single as a bonus track (thanks to Ozzie Musicman)\n.\nTrack Listing",

"The Parliament of Albania has dismissed President Ilir Meta for “serious violations” of the Constitution during the April electoral campaign, Exit reports. The Constitutional Court will have the last say on the issue by declaring the President’s dismissal should it found him guilty.\n\n105 MPs in the 140-seat parliament voted for Meta’s dismissal, 7 MPs voted against, and 3 abstained. While the elections in the country took place on 25 April, the new parliament will not be inaugurated until September. Opposition MPs from the Democratic Party and Socialist Movement for Integration abandoned their mandates in 2019.\n\nThis is the first time in Albania’s history that a President is dismissed by Parliament, but also the second time that the Socialist Party has tried to dismiss Meta, having abandoned its first attempt last year.\n\nMeta was elected for a five-year term in 2017 with the votes of his coalition partner at the time, the Socialist Party, but their political relationship has deteriorated in recent years.\n\nUpon becoming President, Meta relinquished his position as the leader of the Socialist Movement for Integration, which achieved a disappointing result in the 2021 elections, losing more than half of the number of seats it had won in 2017. Meta announced his return to the party once his term ends.\n\nThe parliamentary committee tasked to investigate the President’s activities during the parliamentary elections determined that Meta had committed “serious violations”, reports Euronews Albania.\n\nThe 96-page report notes that the “President violated 17 articles of the Constitution” and that “these violations are considered serious offenses by the inquiry commission”.\n\nThe spokesperson of the president reacted right after the votes were counted describing the decision as “unconstitutional”."

"Events are stuck between a rock and a hard place: Many government assistance programs are set to expire, but events are nowhere near a real comeback. Eventprofs are taking to the streets demanding action and continued support.\n\nWith recent protests in the US, the UK, and Portugal, the events industry is gaining momentum in the push for more government support. It’s imperative that event planners raise awareness about the industry’s economic hardships, and many are rising to the challenge.\n\nWhile some regions have begun to scale back their lockdown restrictions, many businesses see this stage of reopening as no more than a license to lose money: the reduced capacities required to maintain social distancing are simply not profitable.\n\nIn response, industry groups across the globe are working to raise awareness about the gravity of this situation. This article discusses some recent activations and provides tips on how you can join the cause.\n\nBusinesses across a wide variety of sectors have faced unprecedented losses, but the uniquely vulnerable position of the events industry is undeniable. According to a recent EventMB survey of global event planners, almost 20 percent of respondents were either laid off or furloughed as of June, and this figure is likely to rise without urgently needed support.",
null,
"In a recent paper calling for government sponsored exhibition incentives, the European Exhibition Industry Alliance reported that exhibition organizers predict financial losses of 75 percent or more for 2020. A recent survey from the UK’s Meeting Industry Association (mia) indicates that 34 percent of the nation’s venues are already reporting losses of between £1,000,000 and £5,000,000 (roughly $1,300,000 and $6,600,000 USD). Further, mia estimates that an average of 38 percent of venue employees are expected to lose their jobs by the end of October, although this figure could be more than halved if the government decides to continue its soon-to-expire furlough scheme.\n\nIf left unchecked, these kinds of declines will have a major impact on the worldwide economy. The Events Industry Council’s 2018 Global Economic Significance of Business Events study found that business events alone accounted for $2.5 trillion (USD) in direct and indirect spending worldwide. The same study attributed 26 million jobs to the industry.\n\nCode Red: How the Events Industry Rallies Against the Crisis",
null,
"It is not a coincidence that protest events across the world are using red light to symbolize their cause and solidarity. Just as many nations have used “red zones” and “red alerts” to signal outbreak hot spots, protests worldwide are using the color red to symbolize a financial state of emergency. And just as the pandemic has had far-reaching consequences, so too will failing to support such a vital sector of the world’s economy.\n\nIn the US, the Live Events Coalition (LEC) has so far staged 6 activations and held several rallies across major cities to raise awareness and gather signatures for the organization’s online petition, titled the Covid-19 Federal Aid Package for the Live Events Industry. Two of the most high-profile activations, one in New York’s Times Square and the other in Washington DC’s National Mall, were based on the concept of “Empty Events”: 48 empty tables were put on display, with each table representing 250,000 event industry workers who stand to see lifelong careers disappear over a period of months. That’s 12 million people. The eerily empty National Mall table display was bathed in red light once darkness fell.\n\nSimilarly, the #WeMakeEvents – RED ALERT Day of Action in the UK used red light to focus attention on both event venues and industry workers. Venues across the UK blanketed their exteriors in red light, and individual workers lined up along the Thames river flashing red lights from their phones. With the tight network of red flashes visible throughout aerial footage over London, RED ALERT provided a bold visual reminder of the industry’s expansive impact.\n\nIncredible live aerial views of #wemakeevents are being broadcast live from our Facebook page. Thank you to everyone who has come out in support this evening – the turn out is incredible. We are sharing lots more on our stories. #WeMakeEvents #LetTheMusicPlay #LightItInRed #RishiSunak #OliverDowden #CarolineDinenage #SkyNews #BBCNews #festival #festivalseason #livemusic #livemusicrocks #liveevent #supportneeded #glastonbury #festivallove #gigs #livegig #liveeventssector #covid19\n\nThe Portuguese Association of Technical Services for Events (APSTE) staged a sister protest in Lisbon to coincide with the UK’s RED ALERT Day of Action. It featured event hands pushing roadie boxes — much like in Manchester’s RED ALERT protest march and Philadelphia’s LEC rally — and then lining them up in a grid configuration at the Terreiro do Paço town square, where they too were cloaked in red light come nightfall.",
null,
"Solidarity events were also held in Slovenia and the Netherlands, where 250 buildings were lit up in red on the night of August 11. Earlier in the month, the South African event industry held a similar “Code Red” event involving over 500 buildings.\n\nAnd there is more to come. Further to the LEC activations and rallies, the RED ALERT movement is gaining momentum in the US. 1,500 venues in major cities across the US have pledged to cast a red light across their building exteriors on September 1, the same day their website will be going live.\n\nThe Rock and the Hard Place\n\nShortly after the UK’s RED ALERT protests, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced loosened lockdown restrictions. Some see this as a sign that the government is listening, but commentators on social media are pointing to the financial failure of a recent socially-distanced trial event in London to demonstrate that the lightened lockdown isn’t enough.\n\nIn fact, the combination of expiring government support and the suggestion that loosened restrictions herald a return to work puts many planners in the difficult position of having to make a go of a losing proposition: trying to run a business on events with a capacity that prohibits their financial viability. The loosened restrictions, they say, don’t offer any real recourse economically — to say nothing of the perception of risk surrounding live events.\n\nWhile the events community’s reception of loosened lockdown measures in the UK has been mixed, when it comes to the official messaging of the awareness campaigns, the demands across nations are aligned. Rather than a reopening, they are calling for the prolongation and expansion of special furlough, unemployment insurance, and business assistance plans that were put in place during lockdown. Other requests include tax exemptions and training programs.\n\nThe Live Events Coalition is lobbying for the following changes:\n\nSimilarly, the upcoming #RedAlertRESTART event planned for September 1 is urging Congress to pass the RESTART Act (S.3814) and expand the PUA.\n\nThe UK’s RED ALERT has the following list of priorities:\n\nThe Portugese protest, despite its link to RED ALERT, has more in common with the Live Events Coalition in that it is prioritizing an extension of the government’s interest-free loan programs and unemployment assistance. Nevertheless, all three movements hinge on some form of government-backed financial relief, as do their counterparts in the Netherlands, Slovenia, and South Africa.\n\nIf 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that protesting works. These campaigns need to maintain their momentum.\n\nIt may be worth noting that an earlier June campaign in Germany, also involving the use of red light to highlight affected venues, was designed as a critique of government restrictions on live events. At the time the event was staged, the German government had already announced a €130 billion economic aid package ($154 billion USD) with €25 billion earmarked to help the hardest-hit SMEs survive the summer. This could be in part why the original red light campaign appears to have lost steam just as similar movements are gaining momentum in regions where events have less support.\n\nIt is worth noting that early advocacy efforts from UFI and other European event associations likely had an influence on German government decisions. If anything, the German example suggests that strategic lobbying can be effective.\n\nThere are glimmers of hope in other regions too. Toward the end of the Lisbon protest, organizers were asked to schedule a meeting with the country’s Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. It remains to be seen how the US campaigns might influence an updated federal stimulus package, but international precedents might help to set the stage.\n\nTo put the US situation in context, survey results from UFI’s Global Exhibition Barometer ranked North America (excluding Canada) the fourth lowest in public financial support for the exhibition industry among five international regions, just ahead of Africa/Middle East.",
null,
"The events industry contributes trillions in spending and supports millions of jobs. Its workers need support.\n\nIt is too early to tell what effect the recent protests will have on public policy, but that also means it’s important to keep pushing for more awareness. There is still time to influence the agenda.\n\nHere are some steps that you can take:\n\nUse resources like UFI and SISO’s This Show Will Open for Business campaign, as well as economically relevant information like the Event Industry Council’s Covid-19 Economic Impact Research and UFI’s Global Exhibition Barometer.",

"Chris Clifford Obituary – Died: Christopher Sean Clifford, 31, of Baton Rouge, LA, kicked the bowl on Monday, December 17, 2018, at an opiate wealth. Chris was brought into the world on April 22, 1987, to William Curtis Clifford, of Rumford, ME, and Mischelle Dawn Wright, of Helena, MT. Chris passed away before his paternal grandfather, Earle R. Clifford.\n\nChris was great, attracting a boy whose life was, despicably, changed by a nearly twenty-year battle with abuse. Chris’s family will reliably review him as a gorgeous young man who never disagreed. Instead of outbreaks, the family gets information about the magnificent effects of dogged medication use with children in their regular presence. Additionally, we set aside this momentum to uncover problems from the missing exciting arrangement and flourishing restructuring programs in the state of Louisiana. If not all, that great difficulty communicating with your close bosses to advocate for increased funding for an additional enthusiastic assessment and prosperity treatment. Visiting hours will be at Resthaven Funeral Home on December 20, 2018, from noon to relationship at 2:00 pm.\n\nTo plant memorial trees in memory, if it’s not so difficult, visit our Daily5TechTips."

"For the Taittinger Collection, Corneille expresses his art using the two core values which were constant in his work from 1946 onwards: line and colour.\n\nFigures are formed using gestures made in colour on a solid, or modulated, coloured background. Strangely-shaped birds, reminiscent of those found on bas-reliefs in Coptic monasteries or on the totem poles of Indian tribes, are depicted on a background which is painted in a green, similar to the vine leaves themselves. The birds are ready to take flight and break free from cages and barriers as universal messengers of joy - much like the wine contained within the bottle.\n\nAmongst Champagne's luxury cuveés and super-premium labels, Taittinger's wines live on one extreme end of the style spectrum.\nWhile many top Champagnes can be quite difficult to approach in their youth, with laser-like focus and delineation, even austerity, Taittinger instead tends to be immediately open and welcoming. These are beautiful, delicious Champagnes, with bubbles lazily winding their way up to the surface, inviting you to take another sip.\n\nAmongst Champagne's luxury cuveés and super-premium labels, Taittinger's wines live on one extreme end of the style spectrum. …\n\nIn 1964, the 32nd Venice Biennale was the scene of a great furore.

After a tough three-round event, I.T was the winner by a record 43 shots.\n\nWith the event based over 3 rounds, world ranking points were available (WAGR) and it’s great that I.T now has a world ranking position. This proves that his recent practice on his short game really paid off.\n\nIt’s great to see IT gaining official world ranking points, which puts him on a great path, and with his continued improvement with his mental strength we can expect to see him continue to rise. – Coach Oliver Bates\n\nCongratulations from all at BISP!"

"Under the thumb of debt: modern music funding is in a sad and sorry state\n\nA few weeks ago, Jack Conte – co-founder of crowdfunding platform Patreon and well-regarded independent musician in his own right – wrote an article regarding the loss that his band Pomplamoose took on their last tour. The post, entitled “Pomplamoose 2014 Tour Profits (or Lack Thereof)”, explained how the band, despite averaging hundreds of thousands of views for each YouTube video they post – that number rising to over a million if it’s a cover song – and selling out shows across the country, still only managed to take an $11,000 deficit on their last month-long tour of the United States.\n\nGranted, Conte points out that neither of the primary members of the band – himself and his girlfriend, Nataly Dawn – have any experience with financial modeling, and a cursory look at the expenses of the tour bears this out. One notices, for example, that they stayed at Best Western hotels every night, whereas motels would have saved them a lot of cash, and perhaps the 26-and-a-half thousand dollars in production expenses could have been whittled down to something more manageable. But the point remains – this is a very popular independent band who is still having trouble turning a profit, and even if they made some amendments for more frugal expenses, they’d still be looking at merely breaking even or, at best, going home with a couple thousand bucks between the two of them.\n\nREAD ALSO: This Guy Turned His House Into A Concert Venue To Revive The Starving All-Ages Music Scene\n\nTo the average person, this might just seem like the whining of a privileged rock star, and to an extent they’d be correct. Jack Conte himself is probably doing just fine financially. The problem is that this situation is popping up again and again, and the current climate of the music industry is such that if your favourite band isn’t being played multiple times every day on the radio or headlining every major summer festival, I’ve got news for you – they’re probably not making a living from their art.",
null,
"Pomplamoose have the luxury of having a member whose day job is being one of the founders of a highly used crowdfunding service, as well as a sound conventional enough to be marketable towards a mainstream-ish audience. Most bands – especially if you’re a fan of weirder, less conventionally palatable material – aren’t so lucky. Recently, it was revealed that Cousins, a two-piece garage rock band from Halifax have been steadily growing in popularity since their inception. Cousins are signed to a well-regarded indie record label, are nominated for the Polaris Prize, and have been added to CBC Radio 3’s best albums of 2014 list, but still aren’t making enough money from their tireless touring and recording schedule to even pay their rent. Art-punk loyalists Bomb the Music Industry! announced their breakup last year due to the overwhelming financial pressures of trying to be a full-time touring band, despite getting great reviews in such major publications as Vice, Consequence of Sound, and Alternative Press. In a 2012 article from Vulture magazine, the members of “indie-rock royalty” Grizzly Bear – who play the major late-night shows every time they release an album, whose last album Shields reached No. 7 on the Billboard album chart, and whose songs get licensed in Volkswagen commercials and Twilight movies – announced that their funds are still so unstable that it has limited them from starting a family or buying a house.\n\nLet’s not mince words – this is a huge problem. There used to be a time when a band as unflinchingly bizarre as Mr. Bungle could get signed to Warner Bros. and make a decent living. Now if you’re not a popstar making millions, you may as well give up any dreams you had of being financially rewarded for great art. As a musician myself, one of the main reasons I opted to switch my career aspirations away from music was the lack of any sort of future financial security. I went through four years of studying music in university, being taught by world-class musicians. Most of them release at least an album of original material a year, have toured internationally, and are so in-demand as studio musicians that they’ve literally been on hundreds of records. All of them have to take university-teaching gigs to make ends meet.\n\nIt’s hard not to blame the Internet for this. Creatively, the Internet has been an absolute boon – as a consumer, the ability to access music with ease has led to a huge diversity of music available on-the-cheap, and as a creator, it’s never been easier to get your music into the hands of the people who want to listen to it. But financially, this same availability has negatively affected artists in profound ways. It’s true that, historically, artists have never made a ton of money from record sales – out of everyone involved in the creation and distribution of an album, the artists themselves have always been paid the least, which remains true even in the new age of paid streaming services – so, in the short term, rampant piracy services don’t actually have a huge effect. Major labels have always ripped off their artist—but the problem is that the public are ripping them off now too. Years of simple, free access to music have created a culture where we no longer attach financial significance to the music that we listen to. A growing band putting out a new album or putting on a show for more than five bucks is basically committing suicide.",
null,
"Meanwhile, crowdfunding sources like Kickstarter or Patreon can help, but successful campaigns are predicated on fanbases that new artists simply don’t have. Even Amanda Palmer’s highly-publicized Theatre is Evil album, artbook and tour package – the most-funded music crowdfunding campaign of all time after raising over a million dollars – didn’t allow her to make any profit, and almost wasn’t even enough to cover the cost of guest musicians on the tour. Besides that, music has the dubious honour of being one of the least popular crowdfunding categories; Palmer’s is the only music project within Kickstarter’s top 70 most popular campaigns, and even then sits near the bottom at number 60.\n\nIt’s true that musicians trying to turn their art into a career aren’t doing it for the money. No, they didn’t have to become artists – they could have been a lawyer if they wanted to make a ton of money. But it’s not like consumers have decided that they don’t like music anymore – we all love it, we all listen to it, and we all expect there to be more. There will be more, whether the artists get paid or not; but I like to believe that we can live in a culture where we understand the importance of the art artists create that we’re willing to sacrifice some of our personal income to experience it. I would like to live in a world that values art, that doesn’t see great music as something that they’re owed, but a project that somebody spent time, money, and countless sleepless nights creating—hours that they deserve to be compensated for. I would like future generations of musicians to live in a world where they still have to work their asses off, still have to make music that’s good, but don’t have to leave the industry pre-emptively because of dire financial situations when they finally reach that point.\n\nWhat will the industry look and sound like if even the most successful musicians are forced to work part-time?"

"Thank You Mother- a journey of appreciation\n\n'Thank You Mother' is a cinematic journey of surfing, simplicity and appreciation.\n\nProduced by Torren Martyn and Ishka Folkwell with an original soundtrack by Nick Bampton. 'Thank You Mother' is narrated by award winning Australian film maker and lifelong simplest Albert Falzon of 'Morning of the Earth fame'.\n\n'Thank You Mother' began as a story about the act of creating a surfboard and the art of riding one. Exploring the connection between surfer Torren Martyn and his friend, mentor and surfboard shaper Simon Jones of 'Morning of the Earth Surfboards'. This naturally led to the doorstep of another friend and mentor, Albert Falzon and the film became more about connection, creativity and friendship, about surfing, being happy, and living simply.\n\nShot in South Africa, Indonesia and Australia, Ishka Folkwell's original and artful approach to film making captures something of the essence of these places, bringing them to life on screen. Nick Bamptons original musical score was composed for the film, so as Torren Martyn glides with style and power, carving beautiful lines into clean walls, the music echoes the mood and rhythm of his movements perfectly.\n\nHowever, perhaps the most powerful element of this creative collaboration between surfers, shapers, filmmakers and musicians is the truth and beauty of Albert Falzons reflections on life. With humility and charisma, he offers viewers the keys to a life of contentment, explaining that happiness comes not from having more or being the best, but from having good friends and being kind. 'Thank You Mother' is a film that celebrates appreciation of the simple things and stays with viewers long after they have watched it.\n\nAvailable On Vinyl ( No Booklet Included )\n\nWhy Thank You Mother- ‘a journey of appreciation’ limited edition booklet and feature film package?\n\nIf you are looking to grab a moment, be inspired or simply wish to rekindle your love of surfing and the simplicities it can offer to your life then this limited-edition booklet and feature film could be right for you.",

"In the early 2000s, zombie crossovers were all the rage with the kids. Differing slightly from the zombie mash-up, where the undead are inserted in a known story as the story itself is re-imagined, the zombie crossover is a much more flexible event: put our favorite reanimated creatures into the realm of an existing fictional universe and let the mayhem begin.\n\nWe’ve seen the zombie crossover with quite a few properties recently, most notably those in the sci-fi realm (and many of them featured in my previous Throwback Thursday columns): to name just a few, Star Wars has the novel “Death Troopers,” Star Trek has the not-quite-canon book “Night of the Living Trekkies,” and IDW Entertainment featured a massive intra-company crossover where zombies featured in their “licensed” comic book properties of ‘G.I. Joe,’ ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Transformers,’ and ‘Ghostbusters.’\n\nThe result of zombie crossovers, much like mash-ups, meet with mixed success: if done correctly, with the appropriate amount of intelligence and respect for the “home” property, these stories can be very entertaining and a great “what if” to let fans see how characters they know and love in one environment might react to an undead menace. The boundary between doing a crossover or mash-up because someone wants to create an amazing story versus the desire to cash in and “make a quick buck” off of the current popularity of zombies is a fine line, and usually, the savvy zombie fan can tell which is which pretty quickly.\n\nIt was with more than a little caution, then, that I approached my reading of the graphic novel “Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Apocalypse.” ‘Battlestar Galactica,’ or ‘BSG’ for short, is a uniquely iconic science fiction franchise: starting in the late 1970s, the TV show revolved around the premise that the remnants of 12 human colonies, recently decimated by an attack from a vicious robotic race called Cylons, were on the run and desperately seeking contact with the “lost” 13th colony, Earth. In the 2000s, ‘BSG’ recently enjoyed a great revival as a new, critically-acclaimed TV series that ran for six excellent seasons, and I had the pleasure of watching (and enjoying) both the original series and the new series during their respective times on the air. Unlike ‘Star Trek’ or ‘Star Wars,’ which both have vast universes filled with a myriad of characters and situations, ‘BSG’ had always been a very “streamlined” continuity with very little wiggle room for experimental or “alternate universe” stories, such as the inclusion of zombies. Could this story respect its source material while not feeling forced at the same time?",
null,
"While I wasn’t exactly blown away, the story of “Cylon Apocalypse” certainly felt like it fell right in line with the “classic” ‘BSG’ TV series. The crew of the Galactica discovers a Cylon base starship where the Cylons are fighting amongst themselves, an odd thing for a hive-like cybernetic race to do. Upon further exploration, “a nano-cybrid” – a combination of nanotechnology and genetic engineering – has been engineered to attack individual Cylons and revery them back to their primitive, reptilian forms. The nano-cybrid, however, is not working as intended and is feeding off of Cylon energy to mutate Cylons it comes into contact with into hulking, monstrous, half-organic half-robotic beasts bent on destroying all other living beings – Cylon zombies, if you will. Even though the nano-cybrid is helping to destroy their enemies, it’s up to the crew of the Galactica to stop it before it destroys them all.\n\nThe story, set over 4 issues of the comic, is a fast-paced adventure that feels like it would fit right in with the “vibe” of the classic ‘BSG’ series. Extra kudos to the writers for incorporating other aspects of the ongoing ‘BSG’ storyline into this series to make it feel like it is truly part of the ‘BSG’ continuity instead of a “one-off” tale that is so detached from the ‘BSG’ canon that a reader might question whether it truly happened at all. I’m not sure what the lag time was between individual issues, but as a collected graphic novel, the story flowed very smoothly.\n\n‘BSG’ being a “contained” property, this is obviously the only place where a reader can get the exposure of these characters in a “zombie story,” so the uniqueness of this storyline is obviously very high. The zombies in question here do stretch the definition of what counts as a zombie – but they are inhumane monsters, largely lacking the capacity for rational thought, with an insatiable need to destroy all living things they encounter… sounds like zombies to me!",
null,
"Within the realm of the ‘BSG’ universe, this story fits in fairly nicely. There are, however, some questions that go unanswered, such as why the Cylons would invent this nano-cybrid in the first place, and why the Colonial Warriors neither attempted to utilize the virus to target only Cylons or why the virus was never referenced at any other point in the ‘BSG’ continuity. As with many zombie stories, the logistics on this one are far from perfect, but they are largely manageable for this particular storyline.\n\nAll in all, this is a fun entry into the “zombie crossover” realm. “Cylon Apocalypse” should appease fans of ‘BSG,’ although folks who are not overly familiar with the source material may find themselves a little confused by who these people are and what they are trying to accomplish. But this is probably the closest we’ll ever get to a “true” zombie story set in the ‘BSG’ universe, so I for one will take what I can get."

"I have seen Flipped on many bookshelves and had never thought it would interest me. So when it was assigned as an 8th grade required reading book for English, I did not get too excited. However, after reading it, I regret having passed it by so many times. It was that good!\n\nThe novel begins when Bryce moves into the vacant house across the street from Julianna. That was when they were in second grade. From the time Julianna first saw Bryce, she knew they would be best friends. However, Bryce did not share her idea from the very beginning. He tries to avoid her as much as she tries to follow him.\nMajor events throughout the book test their soon-to-be friendship. At times, they wish the other were not in their lives at all. However, by the end of the book, the thoughts of both characters have ‘flipped.’ They have each learned about each other and realized what they had missed when they first met. This part shows the moral of the book about looking beneath the surface and not making snap decisions about a person before you get to know them.\n\nMy favorite part of the book was the ending, because it was very sweet and left me wondering what was going to happen next. I did not feel like there was too much of a cliffhanger, though the ending did leave some of my questions unanswered.\n\nI could relate to this book when the characters were changing their minds about each other. I know that in real life, I change my mind on some things frequently. One minute I have made a decision, and the next moment, I have questioned myself and then completely change my mind. For example, this occurs on insignificant decisions like what to wear or more important decisions such as what elective to take in school.\nI would rate this book a 9.5 out of 10 and would definitely recommend it to younger teens. You certainly do not want to pass it by at a bookstore or library like I did so many times. You will regret not reading it!"

"It’s finally here. My Read the World Challenge is beginning. However, I’m not starting the reading. What I’m doing is starting the research, going over the options, and presenting them. What I need is the help of you, my readers. Just to remind you, what I’m doing is going through every country in the world, looking at a few books, and listing them for you to help me choose a book to read. You can also add other books if I haven’t mentioned them. So, let’s look at our first country.",

"Afghanistan is a war-torn country in central Asia that I’m sure you know something about. It’s not a safe country to be at the moment. However, there are some interesting authors, including one who’s a New York Times bestseller. Let’s take a quick look at the books. First up is the video where I talk about the books. After that, you can read about them.\n\nThe Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini\n\nCover excerpt: Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the ruling caste of Pashtuns. Hassan, his servant and constant companion, is a Hazara, a despised and impoverished caste. Their uncommon bond is torn by Amir’s choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the Afghan monarchy, wrenching them far apart. But so strong is the bond between the two boys that Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only true friend he ever had.\n\nCover excerpt: Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them—in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul—they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation.\n\nAnd the Mountains Echoed, by Khaled Hosseini\n\nCover excerpt: In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most.\n\nFollowing its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.\n\nA Woman Among Warlords, by Malalai Joya\n\nCover excerpt: Malalai Joya has been called “the bravest woman in Afghanistan.” At a constitutional assembly in Kabul in 2003, she stood up and denounced her country’s powerful NATO-backed warlords. She was twenty-five years old. Two years later, she became the youngest person elected to Afghanistan’s new Parliament. In 2007, she was suspended from Parliament for her persistent criticism of the warlords and drug barons and their cronies. She has survived four assassination attempts to date, is accompanied at all times by armed guards, and sleeps only in safe houses.\n\nEarth and Ashes, by Atiq Rahimi\n\nCover excerpt: When the Soviet army arrives in Afghanistan, the elderly Dastaguir witnesses the destruction of his village and the death of his clan. His young grandson Yassin, deaf from the sounds of the bombing, is one of the few survivors. The two set out through an unforgiving landscape, searching for the coal mine where Murad, the old man’s son and the boy’s father, works. They reach their destination only to learn that they must wait and rely for help on all that remains to them: a box of chewing tobacco, some unripe apples, and the kindness of strangers.\nHaunting in its spareness, Earth and Ashes is a tale of devastating loss, but also of human perseverance in the face of madness and war.\n\nThese are only five of the books I found. If you’ve read any of them, let me know in the comments section below. If you have any other recommendations, also please let me know.\n\nNext up is Albania!"

"On July 1, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut entered final judgments against Connecticut investment advisory firm Temenos Advisory, Inc. and its former chief executive officer, George Taylor. The SEC charged Temenos and Taylor with misleading retail investors. Temenos and Taylor are to pay the SEC over $2 million.\n\n“Investment advisers must put clients’ interests ahead of their own,” said Paul Levenson, Director of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office. “Temenos violated that duty by placing clients in risky private placements while downplaying the risk of those investments and concealing the financial conflicts that motivated the recommendations.”\n\nOn August 31, the SEC posted a Notice of Covered Action in reference to the case. This Notice is a signal for individuals who provided the SEC with information on the case to apply for a whistleblower award. Qualified SEC whistleblowers are entitled to a monetary award of 10-30% of the funds recovered by the government in the case.\n\nAccording to the SEC, so far, this fiscal year, they have granted whistleblower awards to 25 individuals, totaling approximately $123 million. That includes the record-setting $50 million award from this June. In addition to awards, the SEC Whistleblower Program provides anti-retaliation protections to whistleblowers."

"Hey board gamers, it is so good to be back in Orlando playing board games with friends from all over! Dice Tower East has an amazing library and a well stocked hot games area, and we have been exploring both.\n\nIn our last chat, we talked about the games we hit during the pre-con gaming festivities in and around the beautiful and spacious Caribe Royale hotel. This time, let’s check out the games we played inside the convention!\n\nTo give you a lay out, we only had about half the normal participants for Dice Tower Con as in years past. That gave people plenty of room to spread out, yet still feel like we are all gaming together. We frequently bumped into people we knew, which gave the con almost a “big game day” feel.\n\nThe convention center has a humongous free play area, a 3000 game library, an area with the hot games already set up (and content creators from the Dice Tower walking around ready to teach them) and a nice sized vendor area. There was really something for everyone even in the convention’s stripped down state. Hey, that’s enough blather, let’s get to the games!\n\nThere are also breakout rooms, like the demo room from Portal Games. Even though I’ve already played it a couple of times, I was excited to schedule a teach-and-play of Gutenberg with my wife (SneauxBunny) and Mitchell / Rob from the Beans & Dice call in show. Eric and Chevee Dodd from Portal Games gave us a quick teach, and the board and rulebook guide did the rest!\n\nIn Gutenberg, players each have a printing press ready to score points by matching typeface with orders coming in from various merchants. I think. It’s really about getting an engine built with your gears, that rotate in opposite directions — you know, like real gears do — but give you cool special bonuses that can help you fulfill the orders and meet special objectives.\n\nI love all of the positive feedback loops that are created with all of the tiny little moves, but even more than that, I love the blind bidding for the actions on the board. Instead of all having the same currency to do the bidding, each player has a different amount that changes each round. It’s diabolically smooth!\n\nAnd yes, Doooooogas, I bought a copy from the Portal Games booth which came with some promos I am excited to open!\n\nSneauxBunny and I were wandering through the library right when it opened looking for a game when she spied Foundations of Rome just sitting there. Social media board gamers are well aware of how gorgeous this thing looks on the table, but does the game play hold up? Foundations is a city building game with plastic miniatures representing all of the buildings and a GameTrayz set up that made it super easy to play. In some ways, it felt a little like New York 1901 but if it had adjacency scoring like Quadropolis.\n\nI knew going in that the massive production belied the lighter mechanics, and while I know it bothers some, it was not a problem for me at all. Sure, it is essentially a light family weight one hour wonder, but the way that the city of Rome comes alive on the table top is just irresistible.\n\nPlayers have competing goals but only a few simple actions — you have to get a coin economy going, build up some population, but also jigger the board state to score points off the civic buildings that generate VPs from being close to other types of building.\n\nFoundations of Rome is very satisfying, and a side benefit was a chance encounter with Bryan and Tiff from Georgia who jumped in to teach the game with us. It’s always nice meeting a couple with similar tastes to ours, and we ended up playing a few more games with them during the con.\n\nNext up, I finally got to play one of Dustin in the Gumbo’s favorite family weight racing games — Jamaica — courtesy of the krewe from the Beans & Dice Podcast. In Jamaica, players are pirates sailing around the Caribbean trying to score as many points as possible by collecting treasure. But, there’s always a twist — traveling around the island of Jamaica takes food and coins, and sometimes you land on other ships’ spaces which means it’s time for a quick and easy dice-and-cannon combat!\n\nAlthough for my money I’d rather play Cubitos or Downforce, I would be happy to introduce this to my family at our next cabin con. It’s got a cool table presence, the turns are super quick, and it’s not just about racing, it also has a lot of player interactivity and euro play that almost any group would like it.\n\nMy buddy, Eric Yurko of What’s Eric Playing, has always talked up the Sashi & Sashi games, so when Mitchell and I were looking for a game, I grabbed Remember Our Trip off the shelf. I love learning these smaller box games from Asia because they always seem to have these quirky themes. Plus, we got a chance to grab Jonathan Howe, who taught me back Concordia at Dice Tower Con 2017, as he walked by and we ended up playing a few games together.\n\nRemember Our Trip is about taking a trip with your friends, and then chatting about the good times you had. That sounds cool, but it’s really a pretty thinky abstract where players will draft tokens that represent the bits of memories of the sights we saw on our trip, lay them on a personal board to recreate the memory, and then place them on the central board to score points. Putting similar memories together can score bonus points, plus there are objectives where you can score even more! The rule book was a little tough to decipher, but we figured it out pretty quickly and had a good time. I’d definitely play it again.\n\nI’ve played all of the Azuls, except one. Yep, somehow I missed a play of Azul Frank Sinatra, but Mitchell was able to help me rectify that. (Side note: I rank them Summer Pavilion, base Azul, Sintra, and Queen’s Garden. Thoughts?) Sintra felt the closest to base Azul in my opinion.\n\nIn Azul: Sintra, instead of a pre-made board, players build out their own boards using vertical strips of cardboard that have various colors on them relating to the color tiles in the game. As is standard for Azul, the tiles are distinctive in shape. Somehow said they looked like colorful cough drops and that’s a good description.\n\nWe grabbed tiles from the storehouses just like in base Azul, and the colors we didn’t choose flopped to the center for someone to pick up along with the first player token. But the placement was much different than base Azul. The tiles went on your board in the column that your architect meeple pointed to. You could move the meeple to the right, but it took a complete rest action to move the meeple back to the start, so planning out a few turns ahead was definitely help. Plus, you could score some bonus points just by closing out columns that were next to each other.\n\nDid it feel like we were creating stained glass windows like in Sagrada? Not really, but I liked the familiarity of the mechanic from base Azul but with a unique twist that felt like its own game. Honestly, I think this is one my wife would enjoy although it still has the “tiles crashing to the floor” negative loop that Azul has.\n\nWe capped off the night with a chat and game with our old friend GatorTuba (Damian Perry to the rest of you.) Damian and I are both big fans of The Dukes of Dice podcast, and met at Dice Tower Con at the Baseball Highlights tourney there. We were in college at the same time, so there’s a lot of good-natured SEC smack talk anytime we get together.\n\nDamian owns a full copy of Bruges with all of the expansions, and it’s the next game on the Feld list that I wanted to check out. I love AquaSphere and The Castles of Burgundy and Carpe Diem, so I was anxious to see where Bruges fits in. To my surprise, it does not play like any of those other games at all. Players are building the city of Bruges, Belgium by drafting and playing multi-use cards.\n\nThe cards could give you more workers, or money, or allow you to build the wall around Bruges. The cards could help you build houses or add nobles, and every decision with every card feels deliciously crunchy even if the mechanics of the game itself are very simple. SneauxBunny joined us and picked up the game right away, and we both said that this is one to add to the collection — maybe in the form of the new updated games from Queen. Thanks Damian for showing it off!\n\nWe had a blast seeing some old familiar faces like Evan (king of the pre-con cardboard!) for the first time in years, plus meeting up with a few of the Beans & Dice Krewe!\n\nWe’ve got at one more post to wrap up the games, so stick around!"

"Ayoze Perez left Newcastle United in the summer to join Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City and the Spaniard has hit the ground running at the King Power – and Toon star Federico Fernandez has praised his former teammate on Instagram.\n\nPerez, 26, joined Leicester for £30million after clocking up 195 appearances for Newcastle and scoring at a ratio of about a goal every four games – netting 48 times. During 2018-19, Perez starred for Newcastle but it was clear he was going to leave.\n\nSince moving to Leicester, Perez has made the right flank his own in an attacking side that also boasts Jamie Vardy, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Youri Tielemans. Perez has netted four goals in 13 Premier League games.\n\nHe was part of the side that came from behind against Everton to beat Marco Silva’s side in injury time. Richarlison gave Everton the lead, but goals from Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho saw Leicester 2-1 – and Perez posted on Instagram.\n\nLeicester now sit three points ahead of Manchester City in second place and are firmly in the title race for the Premier League trophy, though they are eight behind Liverpool – who seem unstoppable at the moment.\n\nHave something to tell us about this article?\nLet us know\nContinue Reading\nYou may also like...\nRelated Topics:Ayoze Perez, Federico Fernandez, LCFC, Leicester City fc, newcastle united fc, NUFC"

"Australia is generally very proud of its convict past. It says a lot about a country and its people that it started out as no more than a dumping ground for the British Isles and yet today stands proudly as a democratic and free nation with one of the greatest lifestyles on earth.\n\nThe First Fleet of 11 ships arrived in Botany Bay in 1788 with 780 of the first Australian convicts plus the ship's crew, heavily armed marines and their wives.",
null,
"Two more convict fleets followed in 1790 and 1791 and so New South Wales began its life as a lowly penal colony, a home for troublemakers, petty thieves, scoundrels, malefactors, murderers and miscreants.\n\nLife was tough for those first Australian convicts! By 1792 the settlement had survived its first and worst five years. Sydney was a rough place but it was still there and growing.",
null,
"Just after landing the food situation in the colony became critical as the land wasn't fertile enough to produce any food and it looked like the whole population might starve to death.\n\nAs a precaution, Governor Phillip sent the Sirius to the Cape of Good Hope where flour and other food were available. The ship left Sydney Cove on 2 October 1788 and returned on 6 May 1789, after covering 36,000 kilometres, bringing food and other supplies; the colony survived its first disaster.",
null,
"Over the next 65 years 165,000 Australian convicts were transported to Australia. Most were poor and illiterate, victims of the punitive laws and social conditions in Georgian England.\n\nEight out of ten prisoners were convicted for a minor larceny of some description and the average age of a transportee was 26.\n\nMost were young men but their number also included children who were either convicted of crimes or were making the journey with their mothers, and just one in six transportees was a woman.\n\nDepending on the offence, for the first 40 years of transportation Australian convicts were sentenced to terms of seven years, 10 years, or life. The early convicts were all sent to Botany Bay, but by the early 1800s they were also being sent directly to destinations such as Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's Land, Port Macquarie and Moreton Bay.\n\nThe first of the free settlers began to arrive in 1793 and shortly thereafter convicts began to win their freedom through recognition of their good behaviour. Good behaviour meant that convicts rarely served their full term and could qualify for a \"Ticket of Leave\", Certificate of Freedom, Conditional Pardon or even an Absolute Pardon.\n\nThis allowed convicts to earn their own living and live independently, mixing with the free settlers and joining the wider community. The 'ticket of leave' licences were developed first to save money, but they then became a central part of the convict system which provided the model for later systems of probation for prisoners.\n\nGovernor King (1800-1804) first issued tickets of leave to any convicts who seemed able to support themselves, in order to save on providing them with food from the government store. The tickets were then used as a reward for good behaviour and special service, such as informing on other convicts or bushrangers. 'Gentlemen' convicts were issued with tickets on their arrival in the colony although Governor Macquarie (1810-1821) later ordered that a convict had to serve at least three years before being eligible.\n\nAs life began to improve for both free settlers and convicts in New South Wales, new penal colonies had been established in what is now Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania and later Western Australia, which had begun as a 'free' colony but required convict labour to survive.\n\nSouth Australia was the only colony in Australia to commence and then prosper as a totally free colony.\n\nAfter 1833 it became a punishment station for repeat offenders from all the other Australian colonies and by the end of the 1830s many people in England and Australia began to believe that transportation should be stopped.\n\nA lot of people had been born in Australia by then and it was felt that Australians should begin to govern themselves and that would be impossible as long as convicts were being sent here.\n\nIt was also proving difficult for workers in Australia as long as farmers could employ Australian convicts as workers without having to pay them.",
null,
"By 1840 Port Arthur penal station had over 2000 Australian convicts, soldiers and civil staff. It had become a major industrial settlement. A probation system was introduced in 1841 and many convicts were sent to outstations around the Peninsula to work in timber and agriculture.\n\nPort Arthur then became a punishment station for serious repeat offenders. Transportation to Van Diemen's Land was finally ended in 1853.\n\nPort Arthur then became a centre to look after the remnants of the convict system, men too physically or mentally disabled to look after themselves. It became the administrative centre of a system of outstations that now housed invalids who worked at agriculture if they could, or who, as the last convicts to, simply served out their time.\n\nThe penal settlement finally closed in 1877.\n\nMany of the settlement's buildings were quickly pulled down or gutted by fire. Others were sold to private settlers and gradually a small town, named Carnarvon, was established.\n\nTourists began to pour in immediately and some of the buildings became hotels, guest houses and museums.\n\nThe Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority is now responsible for the site's management and conservation as a place of international significance. Port Arthur is Australia's last link to its convict past and is now Tasmania's premier tourist attraction.\n\nGo On To Ned Kelly page"

"I am still regarded as a new runner, basically I tried to get into running last year and failed miserably within a few months with never ending knee pain. I jacked the lot in but decided to give it one more shot earlier this year but using zero drop shoes, the long and short is that having started fresh again on May 1st 2019 I am on course to cover 500 miles within the first 6 months (End of October in my case), and touching copious amounts of wood I have been completely injury free and that has included trail running.\n\nI came to running from cycling and I would always implement 2 rest periods within a 12 months cycle, one being mid season around July consisting of between 7-10 days and another at the end of the year in December between 1-2 weeks, this worked well.\n\nNow typical my running week consists of Rest Mon Tues, 6.30 Miles Wed, 5 Miles Thurs, Rest Fri then 6.30 Miles Sat and either 6.30 Miles again on Sunday or 5 miles.. I do shake this up a bit with longer runs up to 8 miles and the odd 5k in between but my weekly mileage is between 20-25 miles comfortably.\n\n\nSo I know this will no doubt be like asking how long is a piece of string but what do folks normally implement as a rest period within a yearly running cycle?, I have weeks when I will run faster and some when I keep the pace very casual, I certainly have a lot more rest days running than I ever did cycling which was one of the reason for the change to free up valuable time and since I am now aiming for 1000 miles within 12 months I think it would be wise to have a plan set out for the following 6 months."

"Here is a list of the top 10 episodes of 'Run BTS' which are a must-watch for all K-Pop lovers. So, dive into the fun with the boys in these hilarious episodes.",
null,
"\nBangtan Boys also known as BTS are very popular around the world for their incredible music and impeccable style. BTS’s Run! BTS is a variety show where the members of the group, RM, Suga, Jin, V, Jimin, Jungkook and J-Hope, do funny and creative activities together and live stream it for their audience. Run! BTS premiered in 2015 and has over 100 episodes but there are some episodes that everyone should watch as they are just hilarious and memorable in every way. If you are new to BTS’s ARMY, dive into the list and get to know the best 10 Run! BTS episodes.\n\nThe one where BTS faces a Zombie apocalypse is one of the most-watched episodes of the variety show Run! BTS. The boys are divided into 3 groups and each pair has to solve puzzles in order to escape from the haunted house. With J-Hope and Jimin screaming their heads off and V and Jungkook laughing on the faces of the zombies, this episode is surely one of the most hilarious ones among all.\n\nIn one of the episodes, all the BTS members are taken to the amusement park and they play games while riding the exciting rides in the park. Like always, J-Hope and Jimin’s scared faces during the pirate ship ride produced most of the hilarious scenes in the episode.\n\nThis is one of the older episodes of the series when the Bangtan Boys recreated many old variety shows. They get dressed in Retro outfits and do everything that old variety shows were made of. From silly games to trivia questions, from dancing to singing children’s songs, this episode is pure entertainment.\n\nThe handsome boys put their own spin on the concept of Pajama Party and showed up in comfortable athleisure clothes for this episode. From simply chilling with each other to playing fun games, this episode was full of funny and exciting moments. This was for sure one of the coolest Pajama Parties that we have ever seen.\n\nThe episode where the boys were supposed to protect the BTS village was an upgraded version of the popular Korean game called Mafia. While Jungkook, Jin RM, and J-Hope acted as the citizens of the town, V, Suga, and Jimin took up the roles of Mafias. The hilarious ways they deceived each other will definitely have you roll on the floor laughing.\n\nIn one of the episodes, BTS enjoyed the summer vibes in Gapyeong, which is known as a popular summer vacation destination. They enjoyed the vacation spot with fun water games and playful interactions. The best part of the episode was when the members kept falling on top of each other due to the slippery surface.\n\nThe ARMYs were in for a fun episode when the boys decided to go for a picnic day. It is one of the most viewed episodes and is a memorable one because of the fun and hilarious moments that the fans enjoyed with the members of BTS. From foot volleyball to badminton, the boys just spent the day doing silly activities which are quite common among the BTS boys.\n\nBTS boys are known around the world for their wonderful vocals and outstanding dancing skills. But if they are given the liberty to sing according to their mood and if they are given access to Karaoke, all hell breaks loose. From shrill high notes to crazy dancing, from hilarious wigs to cute steps, you will find everything in this one episode. If you want to see the crazy side of BTS, do watch this one.\n\nBTS and backstabbing each other during games is a quite common scenario among the boys. In one of the episodes, the boys are lefts in an empty shopping mall and they go on a scavenger hunt there. From cheating on each other to lying in order to win the game, the boys brought the worst in them and yet left us all laughing and enjoying their mad fun.\n\nBTS and the 100th Episode\n\nFor the 100th episode of the series, the boys were asked to revisit some old activities they have done together and the viewers were definitely in for a treat. This episode was a compilation of all the fun activities they have done together in Run! BTS and was also a compilation of all the fun the viewers had while watching the show. This one is a must-watch!"

"Operating systems are not strictly necessary. Martins, ; rights with publisher. They do not even look at the other dealerships. But once you know what a subroutine does, it's generally quite easy if you are a hacker to write one of your own that does exactly the same thing. This is tempting because giving clear instructions, to anyone or anything, is difficult.\n\nBut its explanatory power, it seems to me, is so distinctive and important that it should not be diluted by metaphorical, poetic, fuzzy, or allusive extensions that only serve to obscure how profound the genuine version of the mechanism really is.\n\nBut, Matisse influenced Abstract Expressionism, and minimalism, both.

"(Getty and The Alex Jones Channel/youtube)\n\nAlex Jones has called Pope Francis a “demon-possessed creature” after the head of the Catholic Church told a gay man that “God made you like this and loves you.”\n\nLast week, the Pope met Juan Carlos Cruz, a survivor of sexual abuse by a prominent Chilean priest whose homosexuality was used by multiple bishops in an effort to discredit his allegations.\n\n“The Pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are.”\n\nIn response, the conspiracy theorist, whose InfoWars YouTube channel has 2.3 million subscribers, went on an alarming rant in which he said that the Pope was a “piranha,” “paedophile” and “creepazoid.”\n\nThe alt-right host then told his followers that the Pope was “as close as you’re gonna get to Satan in the flesh” before embarking on a particularly unhinged portion of his tirade.\n\nHe repeatedly sang and yelled the words “come on,” laughed maniacally like a supervillain and told his audience: “Vengeance is coming!\n\n“Fire is coming, Pope! The real revolution against you is coming, and you will burn in Hell!”\n\nIn February, Jones was left scrambling to keep InfoWars’ YouTube channel online after being handed two strikes for repeatedly promoting conspiracy theories about the Parkland school shooting in Florida.\n\nEarlier this year, Jones was accused of subjecting his staff to a barrage of homophobic, racist, antisemitic and sexual abuse.\n\nThe video editor, who worked at InfoWars for 13 years, said the host’s behaviour was “intimidating and harassing”.\n\nJones, a fringe fantasist who interviewed President Donald Trump shortly after he was elected, claimed that butch lesbians were predisposed to domestic violence and eating brains in January.\n\nHe has also accused trans rights activists – who he said were mentally ill – of creating cyborgs to destroy civilisation.\n\nEarlier this month, US media watchdog Media Matters compiled some of the most damaging and offensive things that Jones and his fellow InfoWars hosts have said about lesbians in the show’s 19-year history.\n\nThis included Jones calling lesbians “creatures” as well as repeatedly stating his belief that all lesbians are misguided and really want a man.\n\n“Most women grow out of it and that’s just my experience and they get real happy when they get a man,” Jones said in one clip.\n\nJones and his fellow presenters have also said that lesbians are predisposed to abuse their girlfriends, and that women are only lesbians because they have been abused by their fathers."

"Welcome to the week in which we officially welcome Autumn. Cool air slipped in early and S.E.C. football seems dangerously close to actually happening after months of guesses and second guesses. It could almost seem normal if the world and the country wasn’t in such turmoil. We have no choice but to grieve for the pain in the world, the death, disease, inequity, political divides and more. In the moments when you can, embrace the coolness of the Autumn air, the soon turning leaves and all that goes with the grand pageantry of the turning of a season. Know that we will heal and may we all do our part to help us do so.\n\nYesterday, just over 249,000 new cases were reported along with about 3,900 deaths (Notably, Spain appears to have stopped reporting on the weekends.). The number of cases is up about 5,000 from the same day the previous week, with the number of deaths on that day about the same. The seven-day average of new cases is currently just under 284,000 cases per day, near its peak. The average of daily cases is about 29,000 per day higher than it was last week. Three weeks ago, the world experienced its first day of adding over 300,000 new cases. Two weeks ago there were two days above that number. Last week saw three consecutive days above 300,000 new cases.\n\nWith a number of ups and downs, deaths generally continue to track downward. That said, deaths are currently averaging just over 5,200 per day, compared with 5,100 a week ago and 5,300 two weeks earlier. There were just under 3,900 deaths yesterday, compared to closer to 4,000 the same day a week earlier. The four countries with reporting the most deaths yesterday remain the same as a week earlier, with a slight reshuffling: India (1,135), Mexico (455), Brazil (330) and the U.S. (294).\n\nReflecting the increasing overall numbers of cases and the wide nature of the spread, a growing number of countries are reporting 1,000 or more cases each day. Yesterday, 31 different countries reached that mark yesterday, as compared to 28 on the same day a week ago. Where last week there were three countries reporting over 10,000 on Sunday, there were four yesterday, with the top three remaining in the same order: India (87,382), the U.S. (33,344), Brazil (16,282) and France (10,569).\n\nIndia broke its own single-country, single-day world record this past week, with 97,859 cases reported on September 16. France broke its single-day pandemic high with 13,498 cases on September 19. Its high in the first wave to hit the country was just over half that many (7,578) on March 31. It’s average daily deaths have gone from single digits in early August to its current 53 deaths per day.\n\nThe European Union, once more has become the most represented continent in the countries with the most cases. Eleven of those top 31 are from Europe (It would have been 12 if Spain had reported. It has recently reported multiple days over 10,000.), while eight are from Latin America. Senior medical officials in Britain are predicting exponentially rising cases in coming weeks (50,000 a day) and a surge in deaths if the country doesn’t act quickly to stop an emerging second wave. Officials in Madrid have ordered a partial lockdown.\n\nJust over 33,300 new cases and 294 deaths were reported yesterday, reflecting about a 2,200 increase in cases and about 100 fewer deaths than the same day the previous week. Trends for new cases, after a nearly two month decline, reversed last week, with the average new cases rising yesterday to roughly 41,300 cases per day. A week earlier, that number was about 35,400 per day. The seven-day moving average for deaths is 782 per day compared to 753 a week earlier, though there was a spike between the two.\n\nThe per capita state comparisons for cases and deaths have changed over the course of the last two weeks. Eight of the top ten states for highest per capita case numbers since the beginning of the pandemic are now from the southeast. Notably, Tennessee has moved from the ninth highest to the seventh highest, Arkansas has moved into the top ten and New York has dropped out.\n\nThe biggest national COVID-related story in the U.S. in the past week has been related to the CDC. As previously reported, suspicions were raised four weeks ago when the CDC surprised scientists and medical professionals by dropped its recommendation that asymptomatic people who had been exposed should be tested. Four days ago, those suspicions were confirmed when reports surfaced the Department of Health and Human Services had changed the recommendations on the CDC website over their objections. After that confirmation, the CDC reversed its stance back to the original recommendation. As part of the latest revisions, the CDC now says the virus may be spread through simply through proximity to the breathing of someone who is positive, whereas before it said, coughing, sneezing or talking was likely required.\n\nYesterday, the state of Tennessee reported 2,075 new cases and 2 additional deaths. The pandemic totals for each are now 177,394 confirmed cases, 2,218 confirmed deaths and 6,120 probable cases. The seven-day average for new cases is now 1,670 per day and for deaths is 20 per day after recently cresting at 33 per day. 165.8 thousand are counted as inactive and just over 9,300 Tennesseans are currently ill with the virus.\n\nCOVID-positive hospitalizations continue to decline. As of yesterday, state-wide hospitalization numbers sit at 692 (from the state chart, as the front page differs and seems less accurate). A week ago, I reported the number as 703, though the state has retroactively revised that figure to 793, presumably by adding those that were pending. Current COVID-positive Tennesseans are also represented in 250 ICU patients and 126 ventilator patients. The number of pending cases also continues to drop and is now at 96.\n\nAs always, it’s good to look at testing rates and case increase together and the charts above show daily jumps up and down in case numbers and in tests reported for each day. The tests reported for yesterday (this is when results return, not when tests are given), surged to just over 39,900, the fourth highest daily total during the entire pandemic. The total reflected about a 75% jump from the day before. Cases jumped over 100% from the first day to the second: 942 – 2075.\n\nThe above testing information simply indicates that test reporting doesn’t flow evenly from day-to-day and, so, less should made of daily numbers and more of trends in , both testing and cases. Cases trended upward for the last week with the seven day average moving from 1,100 to 1,670, reflecting increased testing. The best news is that Johns Hopkins is reporting a declining trend in positive test results rates to the current 5.5%.\n\nThe Knox County Health Department is reporting 103 new cases today and no additional deaths. Numbers for Saturday and Sunday were 164 new cases and 75 new cases, with two additional deaths following the three reported on Friday. One of the deaths was in the 45 – 64 age group and one was in the 75+ age group. A total of 73 deaths due to COVID-19 have now been reported.\n\nThere are 1834 active cases and 7,699 inactive cases. 339 COVID-19 postive Knox County residents have been hospitalized at some point and there are currently 31 who are hospitalized. There are 380 probable cases, a number which, oddly, has not gone down since July.\n\nThe biggest news in the county continues to center around the Knox County Board of Health. In an article published today, The Compass did an excellent job detailing the various moving parts in opposition to the Board of Health’s recent mandates.\n\nFurther complicating the local picture, Mayor Jacobs narrated an incendiary video last week (released on FB in a group which is either gone or no longer public) which seemed to attack the Board of Health and paired that with images from violent protests in other cities, warning that we “could be next.” He has acknowledged co-writing the script. The video is either no longer available or has been made private.\n\nBoth Biggs and Mayor Jacobs have also thanked the Board of Health for their work and asked that they not be attacked, while seemingly fanning the flames. It will be interesting in the Wednesday night meeting to see if anyone on the board is willing to openly challenge the Mayor for putting out the video in the current environment.\n\nThe University of Tennessee News:\n\nAs of this morning, the University of Tennessee is reporting 338 active cases of COVID-19 on campus, down dramatically from a high of 680 just one week earlier. Of those, 15 are staff members and 323 are students. 1,026 have recovered. There are 1,305 students and staff in isolation or quarantine. Of these, 528 are non-residential students, 680 are residential students and 97 are staff members. No additional clusters have been identified.\n\nAs of Friday afternoon, the Knox County Schools reported 32 active cases, including 9 staff and 23 students. 212 are reported to have recovered and 816 remained in quarantine or isolation. In isolation, as of Friday afternoon, were 753 students and 63 staff. Active case numbers are significantly improved over the same day a week earlier, when there were 55 active cases. The number isolated or in quarantine is also down, though more modestly, from 863.\n\nThe benchmark for custodial staff remains red, while the benchmark for substitutes has returned to red. Also since Friday, Halls High School has been closed to in-person learning for at least ten days. A second Halls football game has been canceled due to the number of football players in quarantine."

"NAVAIR chose our team to develop the next generation of altitude simulation. Doing so required solving many technical problems of oxygen control that were not immediately apparent. After millions of dollars in R&D and years of engineering work, we developed technology that met the Navy’s requirements for a system that was accurate, safe, inexpensive, and compatible with flight simulators.\n\nACT is a sole source supplier to the government for all applications of oxygen control and altitude simulation. As a sole-source supplier, ACT is already approved for government contracts. ACT has already been through the competition phase and has been selected as the premier supplier of altitude simulation technology. The government can contract directly with ACT and need not go through the lengthy bureaucratic process of competing proposals and multiple bids. The government can (and does) buy from ACT without a competitive process.\n\nAs an SBIR winner, ACT maintains all rights of ownership to the technology, including commercialization rights. The government has a nonexclusive license to use the technology; however, it may not disclose ACT’s designs, methods, or technology to any other party or use it as specifications with any competing business.\n\nThe result of this work is ACT’s Aviation Hypoxia Training System. It eliminates the health risks of hypobaric chambers and allows for using flight simulators for greater fidelity of training. All at a fraction of the cost of the previous technology."
