"Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Graham Merz broke the program’s record for completion percentage on Friday, making 20 of 21 assists for 248 yards and five touchdowns in the Badgers’ 45-7 win over Illinois away at Madison.\n\n“It was definitely fun,” Merz said after the game. “I owe it to the coach [Jon] Budmayr and coach [Paul] Chryst, we took a lot of time, individual meetings and we really just put the game plan in order and we knew what we were doing and I felt confident in my ability to keep running and I think there are definitely some things that need to be cleaned up. We can clean a lot more things. “\n\nMertz, a freshman in a red shirt, was transferred to the starting role after Jack Cohan suffered a non-contact leg injury and underwent surgery. It was the first start in Mertz̵\n\n7;s career, and his five touchdowns set the program’s record for most in a single game with Jim Sorghie in 2003 and Darrell Bevel in 1993.\n\nWisconsin did not get his usual dominant performance from his running game, with Gareth Grosek as the leading dam accelerator with 70 yards and no touchdown. But Mertz picked up that loss by opening the game, finishing his first 17 passes.\n\nHis only unfinished game was a missed pass from Groszek in the third quarter of the third-and-19th. Merz said that the unsuccessful pass was his fault, that he had to return the ball faster and the two joked about the missed pass after the game.\n\nJake Ferguson was his favorite target of the night with seven receptions and three of the five touchdowns. Ferguson was second in the yards last season with 407, behind Quintes Cefus, who is now in the NFL.\n\nThe three, who receive touchdowns, are also tied for the most in a close-knit game in Wisconsin, which matched Owen Daniels in 2005 and Gareth Graham in 2009.\n\n“The kid is smooth, the kid is definitely smooth,” Ferguson said. “He was smiling on his cheeks after the first touch. He knew, and everyone in this gathering knew we were rolling. It’s just great to see him from him.”\n\nFerguson said that at one point in the game, Wisconsin played the same four plays with success against Illinois, and Merz showed some of that confidence from the side, making jokes and focusing on his teammates.\n\nDespite this national attention and breakthrough game, Mertz is still not celebrating, knowing it is just one game and there is still a lot of football.\n\n“I haven’t checked my phone yet, but it’s great to hear from these guys and that means a lot,” Merz said. “But I’m happy that the guys in the locker room are pumped up right now and we need to keep building on that.”"

"Today the new Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts game has been unveiled from developer and publisher CI Games, who revealed the new game in the series will be officially launching sometime during 2019. In a move back to mission-based gameplay but also providing player freedom the game will provide players with contracts to carry out with primary and secondary objectives, all within levels designed specifically for that contract.\n\nCI Games explains a little more about the new direction the latest game in the series will take changing from the open-world route adopted for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.“It is exciting to see the team really motivated and working hard on our next sniping game. They don’t have to start from scratch this time and can now – on top of developing new content – spend way more time on improving things they already have.\n\nWe were too ambitious in terms of the scope of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, but we’ve learned from our missteps. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts will be more focused on emergent gameplay with an open-ended mission design that the team feels strongly about, but it will not be set in an open world. It is going to be a more tactical, more condensed experience and the game will offer plenty of replayability, both on the single-player campaign and on the multiplayer modes.”\n\nAs more information, trailers and details are released by developer CI Games for Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts we will keep you up to speed as always."

Trapped in a wire cage and feeling threatened.”\n\n“But Fluffy, the humans say it is for your own good. It protects you from all sorts of bad illnesses that felines can have.”\n\n“Tabby do you believe that rubbish?”\n\n“No, not really Fluffy, but they have to have a reason for paying so much money to the vet for doing it all.”\n\n“Exactly Tabby, it is all a question of them thinking that it is for our own good. They would be better off spending the money on tins of tuna fish.”\n\n“On the other hand I remember once when I had problems to swallow, my throat hurt. We had to go to the vet and he gave Mrs. Human some medicine for me and it cured me.”\n\n“So you just sat there and let her give you the medicine.”\n\n“Are you joking, I am a feline, definitely not. It is in chapter 10, verse 3 of the book of Bastet “never take medicine voluntarily. Fight all the way. Do no believe the humans that it is good for you.”\n\n“Bravo Tabby, so what happened?”\n\n“Mrs. Human had to take me back to the vet for a jab because I refused to take the medicine.”\n\n“Wouldn’t it have been easier to just take the medicine?”\n\n“Of course, but it would have been below my dignity. Only take medicine with a fight, is my motto.”\n\n“Do you remember when she crushed and mixed a tablet in yogurt.?”\n\n“That was a big problem Fluffy. I like yogurt.”\n\n“So what happened?” I closed my eyes and swallowed the yogurt, and managed to leave the tablet pieces in the bowl.”\n\n“She didn’t notice it, and I recovered in any case, which just goes to prove all that expensive medicine from the vet is just as good as a bowl of yogurt.”\n\n“Tabby, I have lost you in your feline logic, but you are probably right.”"

"Karyn Parsons is an American actress best known for playing Hilary Banks in NBC’s series ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. She is also known for appearing in the award-winning film ‘Mixing Nia’ as well as for starring in the 1995 flick ‘Major Payne’ opposite Damon Wayans.

"A new pub has arrived in our area! Now occupying the spot which once operated as Steve G’s Union House is Dowlings Irish Pub, which opened with a soft launch a little over a week ago. They have another location in Roselle Park with the same namesake, and according to a representative of the restaurant I spoke to, their current limited menu will eventually expand to mirror that of their other establishment. Right now, aside from appetizers, a soup, and sides, there are five entree options. Among them is corned beef and cabbage. The Roselle menu also offers Shepherd’s Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, Irish Meatballs, and a few other selections. Below is the limited menu.",

"On tap for beer and also due to expand is Guinness, Smithwicks, Magners, Sam Adams Summer Ale, Kane Head High, and Carton Boat. So far, Dowlings has quite the lineup of music in the works, with several performances per week ranging from John Rafferty to Cranston Dean.\n\nWith so many trendy “scene” restaurants opening by the boatload in Monmouth County, it is nice to see something of an Irish Pub’s nature coming to our area. Aside from McDonagh’s in nearby Keyport, this is the only pub on the Jersey Bayshore. Union Beach and that stretch near Route 36 can be tricky for new businesses, but with Dowlings operating a seemingly successful establishment in Roselle Park, hopefully they can bring that winning formula here and have a good run. We wish them the best of luck!"

"According to an anonymous source in the agency, staffers are rushing to save some of the information, which represents “years of work.”\n\nEPA transition head and climate denier Myron Ebell told Reuters “the links and information” on the page may still be available to the public after the deletion. The webpage could go down as soon as today, so visit it while you still can.\n\n“The Environmental Protection Agency’s public scientific information is vital to the health and safety of our communities, not a political toy for the fossil fuel industry hacks who have invaded the agency to play with,” Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said. “This purge by the Trump Administration leads down an extremely dangerous and dark path, and must stop now.”"

"1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 327/360 “FUELIE†CONVERTIBLE: --Tuxedo Black, Red interior, Red carpeting, Black convertible top, Factory Black hardtop, Restored, Matching Numbers, 327ci/360hp Fuel Injected V8 engine \"Fuelie\", 4-Speed manual transmission. 1962 was the final year and evolution of the original Corvette. The Corvette featured modest styling with less chrome trim and only available in monotone paint. Before the debut of the Stingray, Chevrolet added further special equipment options to the Corvette, one of which was the Fuel-Injected 327 cubic inch, 360 horsepower small block V8 engine. Only 1,918 Corvettes were equipped with this option. Originally sold new by Tropical Chevrolet in Miami, Florida. The \"Fuelie\" was equipped with the following options: 4-speed transmission, Signal seek radio (Wonder Bar), Off road exhaust, Auxiliary top equipment, and Posi-traction axle. It remained in Florida until being sold many years ago to its current owner who at the time was a Florida resident. While in this ownership, the Corvette was restored, retaining its original colors of Tuxedo Black over Red. Soon thereafter, it moved North to Long Island, NY while in this same ownership and has been here since. This Fuelie Corvette has enjoyed long-term ownership with limited mileage since its restoration. It has always been well cared for and maintained regardless of use and is ready for immediate driving and touring pleasure. The Corvette is complete with its owner’s manual, window sticker and original hard top.",

"The second year of the pandemic seemed to be just as successful as the first. Steam reported 132 million active monthly users and 69 million daily users. On average, Steam added \"2.6 million first-time purchasers each month of 2021,\" which brought it to 31.2 million purchases for the year. That matches the same growth rate as seen in 2020. Steam prefers to call new user accounts \"first-time purchases\" since some Steam users like to have multiple accounts.\n\nSteam saw a 21% increase in time spent in-game over 2020, which totaled 4.3 million years of playtime. And as previously mentioned, Steam broke its concurrent user record with 27.4 million players in 2021, although that record has long since been shattered several times.",

"\"Steam’s ongoing success is ultimately driven by two factors: the games available to players, and the quality of experience players can have with those games,\" explained Valve, although they added that a few new releases that were previously console exclusives certainly didn't hurt (lookin' at you, Days Gone and Forza Horizon 5).\n\nAnother big success story for Steam last year was just how global the platform has become. \"More than a third of our top releases in 2021 were from developers shipping on Steam for the first time,\" Valve noted, with developers ranging from Costa Rica to Estonia. Chinese game devs also had a major breakthrough, seeing a 300% increase in sales growth to non-Chinese markets on Steam (although that sort of growth might not continue into 2022).\n\nIn other Valve news, a new datamine on the recently released Aperture Desk Job provides us with new clues to the long-rumored Half-Life game, codenamed \"Citadel.\" Described as an RTS/FPS hybrid, Citadel would pit Combine forces against the rebellion in a team-based, squad-based strategy campaign. There were also some lines mentioning CS:GO's long-awaited Source 2 port as well. Keep in mind that what we find in code doesn't necessarily mean anything will happen soon."

"In one of Marvel’s darkest futures, a cruel version of Loki helped his brother Thor conquer and rule the Earth in one version of the Marvel Univese.\n\nThe Eternals Take Thanos Down With an Infinity Gauntlet Attack\n\nWhile the God of Mischief has long been an integral part of the Marvel Universe, it wasn’t until the release of Loki on Disney+ that fans got a glimpse of just how much unwitting influence the titular Asgardian has had across almost every corner of the Multiverse. However, one of the most accomplished versions of Loki was also the most cruel, and the pain he inflicted on the world before being undone was unforgettable.\n\nYears ago, Thor moved the realm of Asgard to hover just above New York City, which by many was taken as an act of aggression. When Asgard fell, Thor’s rage boiled over to the point that he lead an Asgardian takeover of most of the world, starting with annihilating the Avengers and rebuilding Asgard and NYC together as New Asgard. Under Lord Thor’s rule, Loki became the Head of World Security, with his first appearance as such occurring in 2003’s Thor #68 by Dan Jurgens and Scot Eaton.\n\nAfter Jane Foster’s support of the growing separatist movement and aid rendered to the then-pregnant Scarlet Witch was revealed, both Foster and Wanda Maximoff were taken prisoner and brought before Loki to answer for their crimes. This resulted in their being subjected to “processing,” a form of reconditioning that boasted remarkably low survival rates, and which cost both former heroes their lives. As brutal as their fate proved to be, it was not the worst thing that the Loki of this future did, and he had over a hundred more years to perfect his terrifying craft.\n\nRELATED: Before Loki: How Marvel Killed Its ULTIMATE Cosmic God to Set Up Secret Wars\n\nIn the far away future of 2170, Lord Thor’s reign continued on, as did Loki’s place in it, one which he had no intention of losing. When Thor’s son Magni became infatuated with a human thief named Jordahl, Loki presumed that their budding relationship might lead him to further answers regarding those who wished to undo Asgard’s seat of power. While the real Magni fought in Asgard’s name and became disillusioned with its conquest in the process, Loki took his form had Jordahl and her family stolen away for processing. Loki’s focus on perceived threats ultimately served to distract him from real ones when an attack on the royal family finally came in the form of Wanda’s adult daughter Kya alongside the other resistance forces and even Thor’s own former ally Thialfi.\n\nWhen their attempt on the throne failed just as Thor was entering the restorative Odinsleep, Loki was left to decide the fate of the would-be usurpers. The cruel tyrant’s judgment came in the form of public executions, Thor’s defense of which were only another reason for Magni to turn away from his father. When Magni finally stood up to Thor with the power of Mjolnir in hand, their personal conflict was cut short by the arrival of another threat to the kingdom in the form of Desak, Destroyer of Gods. As Head of Security, Loki had was prepared for such a powerful enemy, even if his plan of action would ultimately prove to be his own undoing.\n\nAs Desak unleashed his own wave of destruction upon New Asgard, Loki unveiled his secret weapon in the form of the Destroyer. This mythical weapon needed a soul to pilot it, and Loki had chosen that of Tarene, better known as Thor Girl. Created to help mortal beings ascend to a higher consciousness, Tarene’s soul was tormented by her imprisonment in the Destroyer. Once she was freed there was little left for Loki to do but try and explain away his duplicitous actions as necessary for protecting Asgard’s place on Earth.\n\nLoki begged for Thor to strike down all who opposed Asgard so that it could rise to subjugate them, but this act only further soured his standing among the rest of those who remained. In his final act of defiance Loki tried to fell Tarene’s spirit, only to be obliterated by her in return. Not long after Loki’s death in this timeline Thor would find the means to go back and set things right, giving both of them a chance to do better.\n\nKEEP READING: Thor: Which Hero Could Be Asgard’s Next Worthy Champion?\n\nNext PGA Tour 2K Game Will Be “Bigger And Better,” But No Word On If It’s Coming This Year\n\nYou Will Find World’s Sweetest Mango in Philippines"

"This performance, performed by the Arctic Philharmonic, is apparently sung in Norwegian.\n\nSETTING: Vienna, 1791. The talented Salieri (baritone) is jealous of the genius Mozart (tenor) and poisons him when they dine at an inn.\n\n0: The opening scene with its prelude and monologue for Salieri is really quite lovely **.\n\n8, 10, 14: Mozart arrives to what seem like random quotations from Mozart operas **. A blind fiddler tries to play an aria from Don Giovanni * which amuses Mozart but apparently infuriates Salieri. Mozart then goes into a long monologue about a piece. A piano player then plays **, the orchestra crashes, but eventually provides a find accompaniment.\n\n19, 22: Salieri is left alone to contemplate poisoning Mozart * to a most placid accompaniment.\n\n24: An intermezzo ** as the scenes change, at first frustrated it turns very gentle.\n\n27, 29, 31, 34: Mozart is attacked by groupies seeking autographs as the two men sit down to dinner. For some reason this prompts Mozart to ask Salieri if Pierre Beaumarchais poisoned anyone because he can not believe that genius and criminality could be connected to each other. This prompts a lovely lyrical bit out of Salieri *. Mozart gets up from the table, Salieri poisons his glass and hands it to Mozart who then drinks, but Salieri stops him. There is a quotation from the Requiem ** in which a chorus sings the selection.\n\n37, 38: Salieri urges Mozart to continue *, but he becomes ill in a lyrical passage.\n\n39: Salieri, left alone, contemplates Mozart’s words about geniuses not being murderers **. Wasn’t Michelangelo one? A symphony closes the work.\n\nMozart og Salieri is a work that might be easily dismissed due to its size, but this is a mistake. Rimsky-Korsakov’s score is filled with beautiful neo-classical references to Mozart and is difficult to pin down into a specific era (Classical, Romantic) which is rather fun. The libretto is the verbatim closet drama by Pushkin, so although the narrative is slight, the drama is compelling and really gets one thinking. The elements of tragedy and comedy are well balanced, leaving the work (although obviously a tragic drama) with some light hearted moments and thus it is not a despairing work. A pleasant way to spend just under three-quarters of an hour. A mini alpha minus."

"So I'm still working on the Hugo award script with . We're in divide-and-conquer mode right now, direction settled and under way.\n\nIt's an interesting process, to be working in a different mode than usual. I've written speeches before, and outlined less formal presentations. In my Day Jobbe, I've prepared hundreds of presentations over the years. And I can't count the number of live performances I've done as an emcee, a toastmaster, an improv player, a reader, a panelist, a charity auctioneer, a masquerade host, etc. But I've never written a live performance script before. Everything I do is extemporaneous. Give me a live mike and a couple of talking points and I can entertain an audience for an hour. I've never needed to write a live performance script before. Probably the closest I've come is doing detailed interview prep when interviewing famously laconic and short-spoken subjects. (To that end, I once interviewed Howard Waldrop for an hour at an ArmadilloCon (or maybe it was a Westercon, I forget) with a three-question prep, and we never got to question two. By contrast, I did a very good one-hour interview with Larry Niven at RadCon one year that involved five pages of researched questions on my part, and I ran out of prep partway through and had to finish on followup notes taken on the fly.)\n\nThe demands of the form are simply different. Because there are two of us, and we're working with a lot of others as well, in doing the initial draft I had to include timings and blocking information. I'm having to really drill down into the requirements and limitations of each point in the ceremony. And I have to provide the ceremony managers with a lot of detail for their own technical prep. It's a lot more than words on the page, and it's really stretching my brain in some very good ways.\n\nThe reality of course is that we're going to get up there and go off-script in about the first ninety seconds. Ken and I are both extemporaneous players at heart. But the script will still anchor us to the flow of the event and the key points, most especially the timings.\n\nBut the writing of this... oh, what a workout.\n\nMeanwhile, yesterday evening I completed and turned in an initial draft of the Sekrit Projekt. All I will say is that it, too, was in a form I don't normally work in. Not a piece of narrative fiction in my usual mode. And much like the Hugo script project, the Sekrit Projekt stretched my brain in some very good ways.\n\nAll of which is making me think that maybe I need to dedicate more time to trying my hand at things other than narrative fiction. Maybe a graphic novel script, or a television treatment, or a gaming treatment. A one-act play. Or, God forbid, a movie script. Because this kind of stretching feels like it's really very good for me.\n\nHow often do you write outside your accustomed modes? Is it worth the effort?\n\nHeading over to the infusion center this morning to have my port accessed. That's the bit where I sit in a big chair and a nice chemo nurse slides a three-quarter-inch-long needle through the skin of my chest and into my Harkonnen heart plug. It's very entertaining, I can assure you.\n\nOnce we've got me accessed, they'll pull the blood work to make sure I can receive tomorrow's infusion. As recently noted, it's possible to fail this blood test. The most common failure point is immune system collapse, as happened to me back at the beginning of June. In my case, having received the Neulasta injection, we don't expect to see that. There are some less likely failure points around organ function, but I'm relatively young and healthy and we don't expect to see that, either. Nonetheless, we have to expect.\n\nAnd speaking of Neulasta, that shit's a bitch, if you'll pardon my English. I had intermittent bone and muscle aches, some of which were just bizarre. This is a known and expected side effect. The weirdest one was the day where every time I strained at stool (as they say in the lower GI business), my spine and ribs would flare with pain.\n\nCancer: a never-ending adventure. If you're considering it for yourself, I can recommend better hobbies."

"Reminder: don´t pop to the shop in your flipflops",
null,
"It’s tempting to pop down to the shops in your flip flops, but don´t do it\n\nThe Guardia Civil have issued a reminder for all those in the holiday spirit that driving in flip flops or slip-on shoes is not only downright dangerous, but could lead to a fine if it is deemed to be a contributing factor in a road accident.\n\nAs tempting as it is to pop down to the shops in household footwear, don´t do it, as feet can easily slip on pedals or become entangled, so only shoes with an enclosed structure which securely envelop the foot should be worn when driving.\n\nThis also relates to driving barefoot and also wearing high-heeled shoes when driving.\n\nThe penalty for driving in footwear not considered to be “adequate” is 200 euros should the penalty be applied.\n\nReglamento General de Circulación, article 3.1 does not specifically describe the type of footwear considered to be adequate, but is generally applied to relate to \"negligent or dangerous \" driving. If you have been involved in an accident and are found to be wearing inappropriate footwear for driving then this is the article by which you will be sanctioned.\n\nThere has been a great deal of debate generated by this subject and several readers have confirmed that they themselves, or friends, have been fined for wearing flip-flops when driving.\n\nIt's very much a situation of this is not illegal should the letter of the law be applied per se, but can be applied should the officer consider that it is causing an individual to drive in a dangerous or negligent fashion.\n\nAt the end of the day, driving in flip flops is DANGEROUS, can cause an accident, people have been fined for wearing them while driving and the most sensible piece of advice is to wear shoes which are appropriate for driving and will not contribute to an accident."

"Makgophe, who made these remarks during a press conference following the Botswana Police Senior Officers Annual Conference in Gaborone recently, said officers used reasonable force during protests by Botho University and University of Botswana (UB) students.\n\n“We are not going to deny people to exercise (sic) their right to demonstrate if they are not happy with something. All we request is that let us respect the laws of the country. No amount of disagreement justifies damage to property,” he said.\n\nMakgophe explained that while police officers are abused everyday by the same people they protect, he appreciates the restraint exercised by the police during the protests. “These demonstrations started two weeks ago, and we were monitoring them but we never arrested or assaulted anyone,” he said, stating that what was surprising was that nobody seemed to pay attention to vandalism but people only wanted to blame the police for brutality. “None of the media houses is (sic) talking about the damage to property, all you are talking about is police brutality. Let’s try to balance issues… when there is damage to property, we have a statutory obligation as the Botswana Police to intervene and bring to book those who cause damage,” he said.\n\nHis claims were however rebutted by journalists, some who said they had photos and videos of a scuffle between the police and Botho University students at the Game City taxi rank, which left some students wounded while others sought medical attention.\n\n“If there is evidence to suggest that we went overboard, action will be taken,” he assured.\n\nFor his part, Kago Mokotedi, the lawyer representing Botho University students issued a stern warning to the BPS saying as their legal representatives, they will not turn a blind eye to the brutality meted on students.\n\nHe confirmed receiving reports that some students were brutalized by the police during protests at Botho. “The police commissioner should be warned that we are still taking further instructions regarding the matter, we are going to take them head on,” said the lawyer.\n\nBotho School Representative Council (SRC) President, Kabelo Dikatholo confirmed that a few students were brutalized by the police after they gathered in the school court yard. “There is a girl who sustained head injuries as a result of rubber bullets and some who were seriously injured to an extent that they had to seek immediate medical attention,” he said.\n\nDikatholo said they are in consultation with lawyers including Duma Boko who will advise accordingly on what steps should be taken regarding police brutality.",

"The 3 days Jeernodharana Mahasamprokshanam divine programme of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy temple at Narayanavanam ended on a religious note. The famous Ancient Temple is located about 40 km from Tirupati.\n\nOn Friday 22nd May 2015:- On the final day “Vigraha Shakti Avahanam” was performed where in the Ritwiks and archakas transferred the divine powers into the presiding deity and other murthies after Balalayam.\n\nBalayalam is a temporary miniature structure which was constructed during the repair of the temple and Kumbhabhishekam ceremony in a Temple. The divine presence of the main deity in temple was transferred from the murti worshipped to a Kalasha. This Kalasha is place at the top of the Balalayam. In Sanskrit ‘Baala’ means mini and ‘Aalaya’ means Temple.\n\nDuring the Jeernodharana (renovation period) of a temple, all the divine Murtis were shifted to the holy waters contained in the Kalasham. Pooja will be done to the Kalashas and Ustava deities.\n\nThe Kalashas will stay in a miniature form often known as Balalayam. During this course of the devotees can’t see or perform pooja to the moola vigraham or murtis worshipped in a temple. The scheduled poojas might be performed solely to Utsava deities.\n\nThe divine presence of the temple deity will stay within the Kalashas atop Balalayam till it’s transferred again to the Moola vigrahas or the primary murti. Scheduled Poojas to Moola vigrahas will begin solely on the Mahakumbhabhishekam day.\n\nOn Friday, Mahakumbhabhishekam was carried out amidst chanting of Vedic mantras. Later the archakas recited Divya Prabandham. In the night there can be veedhi Utsavam and procession of Chinnasesha Vahanam in reference to this Occatation.\n\nTirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Executive Officer Dr D Sambasiva Rao took part in the last day Mahasamprokshanam ceremony. Later the EO released posters and Booklets of the annual Brahmotsavams which will start from 30th of May and conclude on June 7.",

"Crews continue intermittent closures on the highway while blasting work is expected to carry on for the next several months.\n\nVICTORIA -- Frequent travellers between Port Alberni and the west coast of Vancouver Island are used to ongoing construction delays along Highway 4. Now, the B.C. government says those delays may stretch into 2021 as the Kennedy Hill improvement project drags on.\n\nThe B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says the road upgrades, which were scheduled to be complete this summer, are only 60 per cent done.\n\nConstruction at the site was hampered in January when blasting triggered a rockslide that damaged the highway and cut off access to the communities of Tofino and Ucluelet for days.\n\n\"Factors affecting the completion date include the fast-evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the need for more complex blasts due to variable rock, increased environmental protections and the repairs to Highway 4 resulting from blasting damage at the project site in January,\" the ministry said in a statement Thursday.\n\nPrior to the COVID-19 outbreak, the ministry adjusted its completion date to sometime this winter. Now the province says it \"acknowledges the possibility of more delays as a result of the developing situation with COVID-19.\"\n\nCrews continue intermittent closures on the highway while blasting work is expected to carry on for the next several months.\n\nThe province says it will be adding cantilevered bridge structures and, eventually, a new rest area on the Kennedy Lake side of the highway.\n\nThe current budget for the construction work is $38.1 million, with about two-thirds paid by the province and one-third by the federal government."

"Laurent Bucyibaruta, a formal Rwandan senior official has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a French court over the 1994 genocide in the country.\n\nThe former prefect of the southern province of Gikongoro was accused of having persuaded thousands of people to take refuge in the Murambi Technical School, by promising them food, water and protection.\n\nDays later, in the early hours of April 21, tens of thousands of Tutsis were executed there in one of the bloodiest episodes of the genocide incident, reported AFP.\n\nMr. Bucyibaruta who is 78 years old denied any involvement in the Rwandan genocide saying “I was never on the side of the killers,” Bucyibaruta told the court as his trial ended on Tuesday.\n\nHe also said “Did I lack courage? Could I have saved them? Those questions, those regrets even, have been haunting me for over 28 years.”\n\nIbuka, the Rwandan umbrella support group for genocide survivors welcomed the ruling saying “It is a strong indication that the political will by France to pursue justice against genocide fugitives is positively changing,”\n\n“Genocide survivors have little to celebrate considering what they lost but nevertheless, this sentencing is an indication that the truth will always prevail.”\n\nAccording to an AFP report, the trial involved more than 100 witness statements; with some come from survivors from Rwanda, either in person or by video conference.\n\nActivists reportedly, has been pressurizing France to try suspected perpetrators of the genocide who took refuge in the country afterwards.\n\nAn estimated 800,000 from the Tutsi and Hutus tribes died in the massacre.",

"From family photos to soul groups’ album covers, a new exhibit in the University of Virginia’s Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library pays tribute to the powerful stories of African American women – from their daily lives, alone and together, to groundbreaking successes, locally and on the national stage.\n\nCombing through the library’s manuscript collections and University Archives, staff members Ervin Jordan, Regina Rush and Sony Prosper brought together 70 photos, documents and artifacts in honor of Black History Month and last year’s 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans to what would become Virginia.",
null,
"The exhibit, located in the two long cases on the walls outside the Rare Book Room in the Harrison/Small building, will be on display until June 13.\n\nJordan, an associate professor and research archivist, along with Rush, a reference librarian, and Prosper, resident librarian, organized the exhibit around five themes: “Black UVA Women: Being First,” “Charlottesville-Albemarle Women: Groundbreakers on the Homefront,” “Artwork & Authors: Black Female Voices and Faces,” “Fashions & Livelihoods: The Way They Wore” and “Love, Marriage & Family: The Ties that Bind.”",
null,
"The “Sisterhood” exhibit, on display until June 13, includes photos, documents and artifacts of African American women in honor of Black History Month.\n\nJordan said working on the exhibit had been a learning experience for him even though he has worked in Special Collections for 40 years.\n\nFor example, he pointed to a couple of unique items in the exhibit: an order form for a wedding outfit complete with gloves and veil that a woman named Hopie Wright ordered from a Chicago firm’s catalog in 1914; and a facsimile of an old photo, circa the 1890s, in which a group of black tourists posed when they visited Gettysburg Battlefield.",
null,
"This is a facsimile of an album in print circa 1890s of a group of black tourists visiting Gettysburg Battlefield.\n\n“Over the past 40 to 50 years, there’s been a movement by libraries of big institutions to include more stories of members of marginalized groups,” said Prosper, who is one of two inaugural resident librarians who came to UVA Library in 2018 as part of the Diversity Alliance that comprises more than 40 academic libraries.\n\nAnother one of the older items is a copy of the Elizabeth Keckley’s 1868 book, “Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House.” Keckley, an enslaved Virginia seamstress who bought her freedom, later worked as “modiste” or dressmaker, for Mary Todd Lincoln when she became first lady, and the two became friends.",
null,
"Elizabeth Keckley, an enslaved seamstress who bought her freedom and later became Mary Todd Lincoln’s dressmaker, published her memoir in 1868.\n\nBoth a slave narrative and a portrait of the Lincolns, Keckley published it in part to help Mary Todd Lincoln, who had financial strains after her husband’s assassination, but the book led to public disapproval for revealing many personal details about the White House couple.\n\nFor the exhibit’s section on fashions and livelihoods, Prosper chose a collage of images from the Holsinger Studio Collection, which includes almost 500 portraits of African American residents from the area. Most of the Prosper’s selections show two or three women – emphasizing their sisterhood.\n\n“During the early 20th century, numerous black women sat for photographs which show the ways in which they chose to define, envision and imagine themselves,” Prosper wrote for the exhibit. Although there is often a name attached to a photo, it doesn’t seem to correspond to the individuals in the portraits, so many people have remained anonymous. Others at UVA have reached out to local residents to see if they can identify anyone.",
null,
"Small groups of black women from the area commissioned photos from Rufus W. Holsinger, a prolific local photographer who worked for about 50 years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.\n\n“So it is left to [black women] to envision things otherwise; as exhausted as they are, they don’t relent, they try to make a way out of no way, to not be defeated by defeat,” wrote literary scholar and cultural historian Saidiya Hartman in her 2019 book, “Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiences: Intimate Histories of Social Upheaval,” that Prosper quotes in his description of a collage that features photos by Rufus W. Holsinger in the early 20th century.\n\n“While we don’t know what prompted these specific black women to have their photographs taken, we do know they each had ‘a name and a life that exceeded the frame in which [they] were captured,’” Prosper wrote.\n\nThe same can be said for a photo that Rush loaned to the exhibit: it shows her great-aunt, Mary Ann Rush, who grew up in Esmont and worked in Richmond. “Unfortunately, besides this photo taken some time during the 1920s, little information has survived that tells the story of her life,” Rush wrote in describing the photo.",
null,
"“From the moment my cousin showed me the photograph years ago, I fell in love with it,” Rush said. “There is such a timelessness about it. The exact date the photograph was taken is not known, but based on her outfit it was probably sometime in the 1920s. I love that the photographer skillfully captured her sense of presence. Viewing the photograph today, close to 100 years later, you still sense it.”\n\nThe section on black women at UVA focuses on those who broke barriers in becoming firsts, such as Elizabeth Johnson, the first full-time admissions officer; and Charlotte Scott, the first tenured female African American professor (alongside her husband, Nathan Scott, in religious studies). Charlotte Scott served on the Darden School faculty and as University Professor of Commerce and Education at the Curry School of Education, retiring in 1998.",
null,
"The first black sorority at UVA was the Kappa Rho chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, chartered in 1973.\n\nUVA’s chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority describes itself as continuing “to strengthen the University of Virginia community by achieving excellence through love for self, service, scholarship, and true sisterhood.”\n\nAnother display focusing on black female voices and portrayals shows an enlarged reproduction of the cover of a 1966 issue of Ebony magazine dedicated to black women under the title, “The Negro Woman.” Looking closely, the subscription mailing address indicates the magazine comes from the papers of Alice Jackson Houston Stuart, who in 1935 was the first African American to apply to UVA. Even though she was denied admission because of her race, after her death in 2001, her son, Julian T. Houston, a judge in Massachusetts, donated her papers to the University. The UVA section also includes a photo of a young Alice Jackson.",
null,
"Among the images of black women, curators Ervin Jordan and Regina Rush loaned some of their own collectible items, from African sculptures to ornamental dolls.\n\nIn a display of collectible items, one on loan from Rush is a Barbie version of Katherine Johnson, whose work with NASA features in UVA alumna Margot Lee Shetterly’s book, “Hidden Figures,” which also became a popular film in 2017.\n\nAnother photo in this section that belongs to Rush shows the writer Anna Land Butler, surrounded by other African American women who were journalists and editors in the 1950s, along with poet Langston Hughes. Butler, who was part of the Harlem Renaissance earlier in the 20th century, is signing one of her books.\n\nRush said the photo appealed to her for several reasons, among them, “I included the photograph in the exhibition because I wanted to pay homage to women such as these who paved the way for future black female journalists.”",

"Not all balding middle-aged white men are pedophiles. Yes, many are, but some pedophiles/rapists are younger or have a full head of hair. Or are of another color. Please keep this in mind when making the upcoming The Girl Who Dies of Cancer From Smoking Too Much.\n\nA not quite middle-aged, not balding, non-pedophile/rapist male (white).",
null,
"The Girl Who Played With Fire suffers from Big, Dumb, American Sequel syndrome. Yes, it’s a Swedish film, but it so badly wants to be an American thriller like The Firm or some such nonsense. Too bad, because the characters are interesting, but the plot and plot points are a bit generic and uninteresting. This is the same complaint I had with the first movie, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, also on Netflix streaming. Interesting characters, boring plot….\nThe good, who doesn’t root for the punky, chain-smoking, distant, bad-ass lesbian? No one that’s who. Yea, she’s a tech genius (which has become a crime procedural cliche) and she had a horrible childhood. The first film had so much rape and torture of our heroine, Lisbeth, that it felt less like a tragedy and more like a lazy way to let Lisbeth do what she wants. You see, she hates men (understandably) who are mean to women. She commits all sorts of felonies in her pursuit of bad men. Classic vigilante plot line, however in a weird way, it feels lazy. The actress (Noomi something) is so good that it’d be nice if she had a story to match.\nThe second lead, the older male journalist, also is interesting and complex, but in the second film, he’s three steps behind Lisbeth instead of collaborating. There’s just not much for him to do. So, there’s basically two plots going on simultaneously, one much more interesting than the other. Both plots come to the same conclusions in solving the mystery just by different means. The two main actors are only onscreen in the last scenes. You could almost do the whole movie from her point of view.\nAs in all sequels, the stakes are upped. Basically, Lisbeth is accused of crimes she didn’t commit. Yawn.\n\nNow, I’d forgive the plot for being generic if it didn’t fall into so many bad and cliched narratives.\nExample. You want to get in contact with someone you only know their PO Box. So, you, obviously, mail them with the ‘Lottery Scam,’ tell them they’ve won a big prize only if they’d meet you in person and answer some questions. And you’re a relatively smart pedophile, so yea, you fall for it and meet them. Who does this? People who still believe a Nigerian prince has a lump of cash they just need to send a small amount of money to collect?\nOk, later, you still need to find yet another man who just has a PO Box address. So, naturally, you camp out in front of the post office and wait. Now, even though you’re wanted and on the run, no one notices you and second, the person you’re looking for is looking for you and is also super busy. But of course, not so busy, as to drive twenty miles to go pickup their mail. Like an hour after you set-up.\nDumb. The movie, although very slick and Swedish, is filled with these little plot cliches. Unnecessary car chases, a giant blond henchman, super hacking, it’s almost like a Bond movie recast with a Goth kid.\nI’ve been watching a lot of Swedish films lately, and most of them have been interesting, with small plot cul-de-sacs and weird turns, but these Girl movies are the ones Americans will think of, especially with the American remake (I can only imagine the extra stupid in the remake) on the way. This and Let the Right One In (which was good with a kind of weak ending).\n\nThe takeaway from this review: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire are overrated, especially if you’re a fan of the thriller genre. The acting, look and characters are top-notch, but not enough to overcome the plot. Like the first film, the more I thought about TGWPWF, the more annoyed I became."

"Uh oh, Alexander Wang x H&M, it looks like you have some stiff competition on the horizon. And it’s all thanks to Target’s newest collaboration with boy-genius Joseph Altuzarra, who will join the ranks of Peter Pilotto, Phillip Lim, and Prabal Gurung in designing an exclusive line for the popular retailer.\n\nAccording to Target-run blog A Bullseye View, the limited-edition fall collection will hit stores and Target.com on September 14 and consist of nearly 50 pieces that include everything from ready-to-wear designs and lingerie to accessories and footwear. The best part? The collection — a portion of which will also be available on NET-A-PORTER.com — will range from $17.99 to $89.99.\n\nWith his feminine elegance and refined sense of style, it’s no wonder everyone from Emmy Rossum and Naomi Watts to Allison Williams and Nicole Kidman are huge fans of the CFDA award–winning designer. And though there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that his Target collaboration will be full of amazing, graceful, and oh-so-chic pieces, there are quite a few Altuzarra looks from red carpets past that I think we'd all be ecstatic to see serve as inspiration for the upcoming collection. Here are just nine of them:\n\nAltuzarra's latest and greatest to hit the red carpet was a total stunner — and the perfect work-meets-play, minimalist dress for practically every season.\n\nWith its perfect draping, plunging neckline, and rock-n-roll fringe, this gown was sexy, chic, and edgy all at once.\n\nThis is what they mean by \"power dressing.\"\n\nBecause let's be serious: What lady doesn't want to dress like Lupita?\n\nThe only thing better than a gorgeously draped dress? A metallic silver boyfriend blazer, naturally.\n\nFrom the structured shoulders and zipper detailing to the insanely sexy sheer panel, you couldn't ask for more in an LBD.\n\nSure, there's a lot going on with this look, but you can't deny it makes for a total showstopper.\n\nAny dress with a side cutout, flared skirt, and built-in belly-dancing embellishments is a win in my book.\n\nWe all need a little vampy glamour in our lives from time to time, no?"

"“Ching’s comic-book sensibility links him to Tim Burton and Sam Raimi, but he takes it much further … The extravagance is shaded, nuanced: wonder and the sinister go hand-in-hand, or hand-on-throat.”\n\nThough it owes its existence to a cost-saving measure (shooting two films under one budget), this sequel to The Heroic Trio is no less ambitious or inventive. If mainland China was a fantastical threat in the first film, here the danger is much clearer. After opening with nothing less than an atomic bomb detonation(!), Executioners, equal parts social allegory and exploitation film, posits a future where a police state rules and assassination attempts on the outspoken run rampant. Kaneshiro Takeshi (Chungking Express), in his first-ever film role, plays a protest-leading spiritual leader, while each of the Trio are given life-or-death missions: a prison break, a presidential double, and an under-the-radar search for a desperately needed water source. Ching Siu-Tung (action coordinator for John Woo’s The Killer), a Hong Kong auteur in his own right, supplies the shocking, merciless action.\n\n“A visually overwhelming example of [retro-futurist] cinematography … Vividly depicts a country in crisis.”\n\n“Thematically more complex [than The Heroic Trio] … What returns [is] the wild action, the stylish B‑movie sensibilities, and the willingness of the filmmakers to push [their] audience as far as possible.”"

"Jakarta. Former Democratic Party executive Ferdinand Hutahaean was found guilty on Tuesday of spreading false information related to his series of tweets including the one that reads “your Allah is weak”.\n\nThe panel of judges of the Central Jakarta District Court sentenced him to five months in prison and ordered that he remain in custody pending a possible appeal.\n\nPresiding Judge Suparman Nyompa said that Ferdinand was guilty of “spreading false information that triggers civil disturbance”. The crime is punishable by up to six years in prison.\n\n\"The defendant as a public figure has failed to set an example in the community,\" the judge said.\n\nFerdinand, who headed the Democratic Party legal division until 2020, said he would take his time to consider an appeal.\n\nHe was reported to police earlier this year after posting a series of tweets confronting self-proclaimed Muslim cleric Bahar bin Smith, who is very critical of the police following the killing of six Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) members.\n\nIn a number of tweets, he suggested that Bahar be named a criminal suspect and arrested for spreading hate speech against the police.\n\nBut according to prosecutors his particular tweet that could potentially incite unrest is the one that reads: “It’s a shame that your Allah is weak and must be defended. As for me, my Allah is the greatest, He always protects me and my Allah doesn’t need to be protected.”\n\n“The defendant’s words clearly weren’t directed at Bahar bin Smith alone and his supporters. His words hurt the feeling of all Muslims across Indonesia and maybe around the world,” prosecutors said when reading out the indictment on February 15.\n\nFerdinand has since denied insulting Muslims, saying he himself had converted to Islam in 2017. But prosecutors didn’t buy his claims on the grounds that his valid ID card describes him as a Christian and recommended seven-month imprisonment.\n\nBahar, for his part, is currently being tried by a district court in Bandung, West Java, for allegedly spreading false information surrounding the death of six FPI members, who he said were tortured before being killed by police.\n\nHe was earlier jailed for three years after a video emerged showing him beating a student of his Islamic boarding school.\n\nTwo FPI members were killed on the spot while four others died later in what police described as defense action as they allegedly resisted arrest and tried to grab police guns while in the car.\n\nThe National Commission for Human Rights has launched an investigation and recommended a criminal trial against the officers involved.\n\nThree policemen were named suspects for the killing -- one died in a traffic accident prior to the trial and the remaining two were recently acquitted by the court."

"From the NGO Monitor Factsheet\n\nThe domain ‘NoTaxDollarstoIsrael.com’ is registered to Paul Larudee who is also the website’s administrator.\n\nLarudee’s extremism includes the promotion of antisemitic themes, rationalization and justification of terrorism, and meeting with and receiving a medal of honor from leaders of Hamas. Hamas is listed as terrorist organizations by the EU, the US, the UK, Canada, and many other countries.\n\nLarudee has written of Jewish/Zionist “control” over US “media” and “government”:\nIn his article Strangler Fig Nation, Larudee’s main theme is that Israel, through the American Jewish community, is a “parasite” 1 feeding off the host/victim nation – the United States – by “controlling” key U.S. institutions. The article includes the following points (links in the original):\n\n\n“the Israel Lobby has grown with few constraints, fed by its domination of the American Jewish community, extensive control of publishing and the media, the establishment and control of strategic think tanks that provide governmental advisers, and by a well-coordinated and lavishly funded political campaign machine.”\n\n“Israel now controls US policy in the Middle East.”\n\n“Israel has thus constructed a strangler fig network of roots and vines that is feeding itself from the resources of world’s most powerful nation while gradually starving that nation… if a strangler fig is allowed to thrive, its host will wither and die, and only its form will remain as an empty shell for as long as the parasite continues to survive.”\n\nLarudee linked the phrase “domination of the American Jewish establishment” to the website of the Institute for Historical Review (IHR). IHR is described by the Anti-Defamation League as “the world's single most important outlet for Holocaust-denial propaganda.” The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the IHR’s “real purpose is to promote Holocaust denial and defend Nazism.”\n\nIn an interview on official Iranian media outlet Press TV Larudee “noted that the Western media is controlled by pro-Zionist propagandists and this is why the international community does not react to the Israeli crimes.”\n\nIn another Press TV interview (Dec 1, 2013) Larudee said, “Well, any non-Jew is a threat to Israel. So they need to be gotten rid of one way or another.”\n\nIn another Press TV interview (July 6, 2014) Larudee said, “I think I can say with confidence that the United States will defend its citizens to the extent that it is permitted to do so by the Israeli government. The United States never goes any farther than Israel is willing to accept.”\nLarudee has expressed support for terrorism, euphemistically called “armed resistance”:\n\nIn an interview on the Berkeley, California radio station KPFA, Larudee said:\n\n\nThe latest bus ads on MUNI are just another ugly, inaccurate attempt to demonize Israel by enablers of terror and anti-Semitism hiding behind the veneer of \"Peace activism'"

"Why Millennials Should Hate Coelho’s The Alchemist\n\nWe live in an incredible time. Technology and globalization has given the opportunity for everyone to become anyone and do anything. A 16 year old kid can win $3 Million at a Video Game tournament, you can become an instant author by publishing ebooks on Amazon, you can trade stocks for free from the comfort of your mobile device or maybe jump into the TV and Media industry with your own YouTube channel.\nIt is then no surprise that this generation specially, questions their place in Corporate America. According to Gallup, 21% of millennial said they have changed jobs in the past year, this is three times more than non millennials. Not only this, but 60% are open for a new opportunity somewhere else with only 29% engaged at their current job.\n\nThis is all understandable, if we can do anything, why settle for an office job? So the status quo solution has usually become to switch jobs, after all the grass is always greener on the other side, or is it?\n\nAs of the time of this writing The Alchemist ranks 5 in best selling books all time, with 65 Million copies sold. It is without a doubt a roaring success, trailing behind just 4 books: The Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung and of course The Holy Bible.",

"More interesting is the fact that the novel was originally a total flop. After little to no sales, the publisher decided to drop The Alchemist, which could have easily been the end of the story. Had it not been for Coelho going to a different publisher with the explanation that:\n\n“I have a book that was published and did not sell. But I trust this book is going to sell”\n\nHow after such an unconvincing sales pitch this other publisher was convinced to believe in Coelho and his work is still a total mystery, but as they say, the rest is history. The Alchemist has almost a catalog of diverse life lessons all of us could apply, but there is definitely an overarching theme that is perfectly summarized by this quote from James Oppenheim:\n\n“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance. The wise grows it under his feet.”\n\nHave you ever met this foolish man? Starts complaining about work Monday morning and stops Friday at 5. And when Monday inevitably arrives again, is shocked the weekend was so short. This ongoing misery, drives this man to find another job which turns out to also be terrible, and another, and another, all of these, terrible jobs. Either this man has the worst luck in the cosmos, or he literally has the power to make every job miserable. And this job hopping it is more of the norm today than the exception, is no wonder that Gallup titled their above mentioned survey Millennials: The Job-Hopping Generation\n\nOn the other hand we have the wise man, or Santiago, the protagonist of Coelho’s novel. Santiago sleeps under a tree in his hometown in Spain and dreams of a hidden treasure, buried at the foot of the Egyptian Pyramids. He travels the distance to follow his dream, just to realize after years of toil, adventures and strange lands that the treasure, was buried underneath that same tree were he dreamt of the pyramids.\nI think Thoreau described it best when he said:\n\n“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”\n\nThe Alchemist should at least make every one of us ask the tough question:\n\nEven though occasionally we need to look for treasure in new lands, everyone needs to learn how to see the one already in our backyard. After all, we are the Alchemists of our own lives. With the right attitude we can turn any job into pure gold.\nIf you would like a copy of The Alchemist from Amazon, make sure to support, by getting yours here.\nCategory: UncategorizedBy Jaime VerdAugust 5, 2019Leave a comment\nTags: AlchemistcoelhoJaime VerdMillenialsPaulo CoelhoThe AlchemistWhy Millennials Should Hate Coelho's The Alchemist\nShare this post\nShare with FacebookShare with TwitterShare with PinterestShare with Google+Share with LinkedIn"

"The program creates a distributor network to push Surface to companies, government agencies and schools",
null,
"Microsoft's Surface tablet at the Microsoft Store in Palo Alto on October 26, 2012.\n\nMicrosoft has launched a channel partner program to help drive sales of its Surface tablet to companies, schools and other organizations.\n\nThe program is operational now in the US with a small set of partners and will be expanded domestically and internationally in the coming months. It arrives amidst criticism that Surface -- and Windows 8 tablets in general -- haven't sold well since they hit the market late last year.\n\nMicrosoft already has a program for retailers who sell Surface primarily to consumers. That program is operational in about 10,000 stores in 30 countries. But Microsoft has only a limited direct-sales program for reaching organizations that want to buy Surface tablets in bulk, however.\n\nMicrosoft said it's optimistic about the opportunities the new program could open up for Surface in private-sector companies, government agencies and the educational market.\n\n\"This is the initial phase of the program and the logical next step for the expansion\" of Surface distribution, said Cyril Belikoff, Surface marketing director at Microsoft.\n\nFollowing a price cut Microsoft announced recently, channel partners will be able to offer the Surface RT to K-12 schools and to universities at a steep discount from its regular retail prices.\n\nMany Microsoft customers have existing relationships with these companies and the Surface program will add to the Microsoft products available for purchase, he said.\n\nIn addition to reselling Surface tablets, the partners will be able to offer services such as technical support, on-site assistance, recycling, data protection and asset tagging.\n\nThe program is also designed to cater to ISVs (independent software vendors), to encourage them to develop Windows 8 and Windows RT enterprise applications that boost the value of Surface and other Windows tablets in workplaces and schools.\n\nThe ISV part of the program is called AppsForSurface, and participants will receive Surface devices and funding. Citrix, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Airstrip have signed up.\n\nThe first Surface model that shipped ran Windows RT, the version of Windows 8 for ARM chips, so it can't use existing Windows 7 applications -- only new applications built for the new OS and available from the Windows Store. It comes with a version of Office that isn't licensed for commercial use.\n\nWindows RT also lacks many IT management features and doesn't support the Outlook email client, but Microsoft is addressing those two issues in the 8.1 update of the OS, which is now in previews and slated for general availability later this year. This should make Surface RT, which is priced at US$499.99 and started shipping in October, more attractive for workplace use.\n\nMeanwhile, the Surface Pro, which runs Windows 8 and uses x86 chips, is more powerful and can run legacy Windows applications, but it starts at $899 and reviewers have faulted its limited battery life. It started shipping in February.\n\nAccording to IDC, Microsoft shipped 900,000 Surface tablets in the first quarter of the year, giving it a 1.8 percent market share. Apple led the pack with 19.5 million iPad shipments, a market share of almost 40 percent, followed by Samsung with 18 percent share, Asus (5.5 percent) and Amazon.com (3.7 percent). IDC noted that Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets from other hardware manufacturers have struggled to gain traction as well -- 1.8 million Windows RT and Windows 8 tablets shipped in the first quarter."

"Why The Province of the Sacred Ceiba",
null,
"What is in a name? well everything…… Druidry first and foremost is a religion of a place. It is a religion which grows out of a heartfelt response to the natural world where ever you find yourself. Yes, the frame work and ideas are Celtic, but that is all they are - a frame work and a set of ideas. As I said elsewhere, a set of sign posts. To be a true druid in your own area you need to get in touch with the natural world around you. Let the Gods speak to you through the natural world and be willing to listen. When I was thinking about making this website, and founding this order, I decided it had in someway, and to somehow represent the area in which we all find ourselves. In this way it seemed right to split the world into Provinces each named after a sacred tree. As new people join and establish the work in other areas and new groups begin I would hope see the list of provinces expand. But this is truly in the hands of the Gods. Now here I am in the Mayan homelands and what tree do they hold sacred but the great and mighty Ceiba. According to Allen J. Christensen, who wrote “The Sacred Tree of the Ancient Maya”, “In Mesoamerican theology, the world tree grew at the locus of creation, all things flowing out from that spot into four directions.” Basically the tree is the center, the point of beginning, where the world came into being. It passes through each layer of existence, the heaven, the earth and the underworld. Discussions of this tree appear in the Popol Vuh text, which is a Mayan text, the oldest known text that was transcribed into a Western script. This world tree appears in the art work at the ancient Mayan site of Palenque, Mexico",

"The ceiba tree is revered by the modern Mayans as a manifestation of the world tree, according to Christensen. Many villages have this tree in their main plaza, which marks their homeland as the center place of the world. The souls of the dead follow its roots into the underworld and ancestors return the same way to visit the living. The tree is also represented as a symbol in the underworld, which for the Mayans is more like our heaven.\n\nChristensen writes, “In the sixteenth century, Diego de Landa, first bishop of Yucatan, recorded that the souls of the benevolent dead entered “a place where nothing would give pain, where there would be abundance of food and delicious drinks, and a refreshing and shady tree they called Yaxché, the ceiba tree, beneath whose branches and shade they may rest and be in peace forever.” Does this sound familliar to any of you out there. The triple cosmos the ancestors in the house of Donn.\n\nThe Ceiba tree (pronounced sayba) is a large Central American tree which has a large umbrella like canopy. Species of this tree grow to 70 meters (230 feet) tall, often rising above the forest canopy. They have thick straight trunks with spines and often are supported at the roots, helping them to stand.\n\nThis reminds me of the fact that no matter how strong you feel you are we all need support. The ceiba tree produces long capsules with fluff inside them called, kapok and seeds. The kapok has been used for life preservers and upholstery because it is light and resistant to water.\n\nToday as I was searching for information on the Ceiba tree I remembered when I studies with a local Zen group in my home town. We made zafu cushions for meditation and they were filled with Kapoc. I suppose I could say the Ceiba has been behind my search for spirituality for years.\n\nThe wood of the trees is no longer used because it is soft, but indigenous people used them for dugout canoes. Many animals make their home in this tree.\n\nIt is a natural home for many species of birds. Mammals use its branches to navigate. Frogs live in the tree and their tadpoles live in bromeliads growing in the tree that hold water. Bats make this tree their home. Butterflies and moths have larvae which feed on this tree. A whole ecosystem of land, sea and air in one tree.\n\nI hope like so much of the natural world you too can find your home in the Ceiba.\n\nSo welcome to The Province of the Sacred Ceiba"

"5pm: A heated row between two Love Island contestants has attracted 25,000 complaints to the broadcast regulator.\n\nAn episode last week saw blonde bombshell Faye Winter launch into a lengthy and expletive-laden rant at Teddy Soares, her partner on the show.\n\nThe contestants had been shown clips of their partners behaving flirtatiously with other boys and girls on the show in an episode on August 6.\n\nA clip was played of Teddy telling Clarisse Juliette, who has since been eliminated, that he was attracted to her.\n\nIn the video, he told Clarisse he is ‘technically single’ during a flirty exchange and the pair were also shown kissing during a challenge.\n\nFaye shouted at Teddy in front of all of the other contestants on Love Island.\n\nFaye, who is known for her blunt manner, had shouted furiously at ‘two-faced’ Teddy and other boys on the island about what she had seen in the Mad Movies challenge.\n\nShe said: ‘Did Teddy come back once and say he was sexually attracted to someone? No.’\n\nFaye later told him: ‘I know my worth and for me, this is done.’\n\nHowever, social media commentators widely condemned Faye’s verbal onslaught against Teddy and multiple petitions were launched to have her removed from the show.\n\nSome 24,763 people complained about the episode to Ofcom and the watchdog said the vast majority of complaints related to the behaviour of a contestant following the game.\n\n‘We are carefully assessing the complaints we've received, before deciding whether or not to investigate.’\n\nLettings agent Faye and senior financial consultant Teddy have since reconciled after the row.\n\nOn Yesterday’s episode, she told him: ‘I am really sorry for the way I spoke to you.\n\n‘There's no excuse for the way I spoke to you or how I raised my voice and no-one should have someone speak to them like that.’"

"The Poarch Band of Creek Indians recently demolished the building that housed its council chambers and health department with plans to develop something new on the site. Photo by PBCI\n\nThe Poarch Band of Creek Indians can't be sued for allegedly firing an older employee and replacing her with a younger one, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday. Christine J. Williams worked for the Alabama tribe's health department for 21 years before she was terminated in 2014. She alleges she was replaced by an \"under-qualified\" 28-year-old in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. But the law does include tribes in its definition of \"employer,\" the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals noted. That means Congress did not abrogate the tribe's sovereignty immunity, Judge C. Lynwood Smith, Jr., wrote for the majority. And since tribe hasn't waived its sovereign immunity, Williams can't proceed with the lawsuit, even if her allegations are true. \"Thus, even though the ADEA is a statute of general applicability, and the Poarch Band might be generally subject to its terms, the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity protects the Poarch Band from suits under the statute,\" Smith wrote. The 11th Circuit's decision follows similar ones from other federal appeals courts. The Second Circuit, the Eighth Circuit and the Tenth Circuit all have determined that Congress did not waive tribal immunity through the law. The agreement among the various circuits means Williams might have a hard time convincing the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her case if she decides to appeal.

"A Delicious Apple Stuffing for Your Thanksgiving Dinner\n\nMake stuffing that will go down in history this Thanksgiving.\n\nThe stuffing has always been my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. I look forward to it every single year, so much so, that I could probably just have stuffing for dinner and pies for dessert and be a happy camper. No need to make a fuss over the turkey. I’m just here for the stuffing!\n\nFor years now, I’ve been making the same stuffing recipe that was passed down to me from my great aunt. With this new apple stuffing recipe made with delicious Harry & David apples, I made sure to follow her traditions of plenty of butter and seasonings. And more butter…\n\nThe first step to making great stuffing is crisping the bread in your oven. This is a step you don’t want to miss. Don’t worry about it taking too much time on Thanksgiving Day, though because you can crisp the bread one to two days in advance if necessary.\n\nWhen you’re ready to start cooking, you’ll need to get out the biggest pot you have and sauté the diced celery, onion, fennel, and apples until they are soft. This is where all the butter comes in. Along with the butter, I also mixed in the seasonal herbs I had on hand, including parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. That may seem like herb overkill, but for Thanksgiving, it’s worth going the extra mile. The herbs really bring a lot of freshness to this apple stuffing. Plus, your house will smell amazing as it bakes!\n\nFinally, you’ll combine the cooked vegetables and herbs with the crisped bread, broth, and a couple eggs to help bind everything together. The stuffing will go into a 9×13 inch baking dish, where you’ll lightly pat it down so it fits snuggly in the pan. But be sure not to compress it too hard, or the stuffing will bake up super dense.\n\nI decided to keep this apple stuffing recipe vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth in the recipe. This is great if you’re having a mixed crowd over for holiday dinners. But if you’re not concerned, you can certainly replace the vegetable broth with chicken broth. You can even use a few drippings from the turkey pan during basting (be mindful of any added salt). Or you can check out these other easy no-stress Thanksgiving stuffings and appetizers. Enjoy your apple stuffing. And happy Thanksgiving!",
null,
"The bread can be baked 1 to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature until you’re ready to make the stuffing.Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.\nAuthor: Elizabeth Harris\nCourse: Main Course\nKeyword: apples, stuffing, Thanksgiving\nTried this recipe?

"The gypsy moth is typically in its larval stage as a caterpillar every May.(Photo: Courtesy Ohio Department of Agriculture)\n\nBUCYRUS - Efforts to eradicate an insect that destroys more than 300 types of Ohio trees and shrubs will be explained this month in public meetings across the central region of the state.\n\nSolutions that control the gypsy moth population will be sprayed this summer from airplanes over Marion, Crawford, Morrow, Seneca, Wyandot, Delaware and other counties from May to July, according to Brett Gates, a deputy communication director with the Ohio Department of Agriculture.\n\nThe moths were first brought to the United States from Europe in 1869 by a French artist. He kept them at his house in Massachusetts.\n\n\"He was hoping to develop a new strain of silk worm for silk production,\" Gates said. \"The moths got loose and it created havoc from there.\"\n\n\"There are different types of treatments that we have,\" Gates said. \"They are all applied by aircraft.\"\n\nThe moths emerge sometime every May in their larval stage, as caterpillars. They spend about 40 days in that stage, eating the leaves of trees and shrubs. Having too many of the caterpillars is harmful for the plants.",

"\"There are products that have been tailored to target the moth specifically in their caterpillar phase,\" Gates said.\n\n\"As they ingest that, they die,\" Gates said.\n\nIt's usually in July that the adult moths emerge from their pupal stage.\n\n\"It can vary based on the weather and the life cycle of the moth, but those are generally the time frames that we see,\" Gates said.\n\nThe adult moths fly around, releasing mating pheromones to attract the opposite sex.\n\n\"Our largest treatment is usually a mating disruption that doesn’t kill the moths,\" Gates said. \"We saturate the area with a pheromone that confuses the male and he’s unable to find the female, so they cannot mate.\"\n\nThe department of agriculture doesn't always treat the same areas every summer — Gates said biologists set traps across the state, then the following year will only treat the areas with the most dense gypsy moth populations.\n\nPublic meetings that help explain to residents how the eradication works have been scheduled in areas where the treatments will be applied. The meetings, also called open houses, will take place through February.\n\n\"If they have questions, they can come,\" Gates said. \"They can ask those questions one-on-one with our program experts.\""

"Overview: I was asked to take over the responsibility of these three robots while working at DEKA R&D. The idea behind these robots is to show how an inverse pendulum works, and to demonstrate the concept behind the Segway PT to kids in an interactive exhibit. The robots were built mainly of parts from the VEX robotic design system, and some other sensors.\n\nResults:\nUsing known technology, three robots were built for the exhibit. One side effect that had not been planned on was the amount of abuse kids can cause to equipment; thus, the robots frequently had to be serviced. Overall, the exhibit went off without a hitch.\n\nCurrent status: The robots were designed for the Boston Museum of Science “Star Wars” exhibit, which was turned into a traveling show. You\ncan view the robots in the show according to the schedule below.\n\nOne thought on “Balancing Robots”"

"On the night of 30 April on 1 May 1943, 305 aircraft, 190 Lancasters, 105 Halifaxes and 10 Mosquitos took part in a bombing flight at the industrial city of Essen in the German Ruhr area. Clouds are expected above the target and Mosquito’s equipped with Oboe radar equipment are given the task of marking the targets. The Oboe, the ‘blind bomber’, enabled them to achieve their goals with considerable accuracy. The bombardment is a success, despite the dense cloud cover this night 238 crews report that they have dropped their bomb load over Essen. 189 Buildings are destroyed, 237 seriously damaged, Krupp’s factories are bombed, and 53 are killed and 218 are wounded. Twelve Allied aircraft did not return to their base in England, 6 Halifaxes and the Lancasters ED451, ED706, ED771, ED783, ED838 and W4925. Eighty-one crew members are killed, 2 are injured and 17 are taken prisoner of war. The Halifax II with registration number JB803 was shot by Heinz Vinke at 2:26 am above Muiden and crashed into the Noordpolder. The Lancaster Mk. III ED771 is hit by Flak and crashes at 3.30 am at the Kampweg in Harderwijk.\n\nOn May 1 the Avro Lancaster Mk III took off three minutes after midnight, with serial number ED706 from RAF Station Scampton (Lincoln England) and set course to Essen.\n\nThe aircraft was deliverd on March 8th 1943 to 57 Squadron RAF and gets code DX-A.\n\nThe bomber was built between June 1942 and November 1943 by A.V. Roe and equipped with four Merlin 28 engines built in America by Packard Company with a capacity of 1,280 hp.\n\nThis fatefull night the ED706 has on board pilot Sgt. William John Glotham.\n\nThe night report shows that the aircraft is part of the 5th attack wave. The Lancaster is fired at by German defense guns (Flak) and crashed at 2.38 am in the IJsselmeer, north of Muiderberg.\n\nIn total the aircraft only made 91 flying hours.\nThe crew is killed in the crash, their bodies are not recovered.\n\nAll seven crew members are registered as Missing-in-Action (MIA). Their names are carved in panels 150, 158, 140, 151, 153, 160 and 167 at the Runnymede Memorial along the Thames, just outside London, where England commemorates the Royal Air Force crews who do not have a ‘known grave’.\n\nThe Lancaster was found in excavation works on plot AZ71 in 1978 and was recovered in September by the Salvage Service of the Royal Netherlands Air Force.\n\nThe aircraft must have hit the IJsselmeer in a fairly steep fall, parts of the nose dome and the tail are found in the soil at a relatively short distance from each other to a depth of 3 to 4 meters.\n\nFrom the parts recovered, a bomb container and ammunition, 100 small incendiary bombs show that the aircraft crashed on the way to the target.\n\nResearch has shown that the aircraft dropped its bombs near Durgerdam before it crashed into the IJsselmeer. During the salvage work, remains of two persons are found. It is not possible for the Salvation and Identification Service of the Royal Netherlands Air Force to identify them and the remains were buried with military honor in two unnamed graves (sector 22, row F, grave 8 and 9) at the Canadian War Cemetery in Groesbeek.",

"Another winner of the IAS Freedom Medal, in 2007, was Mary Shuttleworth. Here is an article on her work:\n\nMeet a Scientologist—Mary Shuttleworth, Opening the Door to Opportunity for an Entire Generation of Youth\n\nOvercoming her own study difficulties through L. Ron Hubbard Study Technology, Dr. Mary Shuttleworth became an educator and touched the lives of millions of youth with her human rights education initiative.",
null,
"How many bright, creative children give up on their goals, frustrated with learning difficulties they simply cannot overcome?\n\nMary Shuttleworth had personal experience with the despair caused by such a dilemma. Overcoming it and accomplishing her academic goals, she dedicated herself to enabling children to achieve their full potential by helping them learn how to learn.\n\nGrade school was academically difficult for Shuttleworth, who came from a highly educated family. Her father, a Scientologist, introduced her to Study Technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard.\n\n“This knowledge changed my life,” says Shuttleworth, who went on to become a teacher and earn a doctorate in education.\n\n“In today’s information-overload world, illiteracy is not just a handicap, it is a severe disconnect from available opportunities,” she says. “So many of my students arrive saying ‘I hate math’ or some other subject. It is a thrill every time I see the ‘light go on’ for the student—that ‘ah-ha!’ moment when they realize they can understand.”\n\nHer love of children and the earnest desire to help them accomplish their goals prompted Shuttleworth’s concern with human rights education.\n\nBorn and raised in apartheid South Africa, Shuttleworth saw firsthand the devastation that results from discrimination and abuse of human rights. In 2001 she founded Youth for Human Rights International, a nonprofit group dedicated to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.\n\n“Although the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations more than 60 years ago, human rights issues abound. Ten years ago when we began Youth for Human Rights International, 90 percent of those surveyed were unable to name more than three of the 30 rights granted by the Declaration,” she says.\n\nIn meeting with government, civic and community leaders on eight annual Youth for Human Rights International World Tours, Shuttleworth found that while most are concerned and well-meaning, the majority could not define human rights, let alone enumerate the specific rights the Declaration guarantees. Here too, education is key.\n\n“Such vital knowledge must be disseminated,” says Shuttleworth. “If Edison’s ‘secret’ of electricity had only been available to the few, we might all still be living in the dark.”\n\nThe problem was how to get across the concepts the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to youth. Shuttleworth’s teenage son Taron had the answer—get their attention by using an audiovisual approach.\n\n“Following Taron’s vision, we set out to produce, on a shoestring budget, the hip-hop music video, UNITED,” says Shuttleworth.\n\nThey premiered UNITED at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in August 2004, and its universal appeal made it a favorite for youth in countries from Guyana to Great Britain and Thailand to Tanzania, winning more than a dozen awards around the world.\n\nA teenage singer in Canada combined human rights education with entertainment in local schools. Youth in Taiwan circled the island on bicycles, visiting schools and meeting with officials to promote human rights education. In South Africa, students produced plays depicting human rights abuses followed by scenes to illustrate the human right that would remedy each scenario. A 12-year-old girl in India met with the president of her country to tell him the importance of teaching human rights.\n\nShuttleworth says the effectiveness of the program lies in its simplicity.\n\n“With these materials, anyone can teach human rights,” she says. “Education is a bridge to human rights and other positive social change.”\n\nOctober 13, 2011 How to choose a President\nBrowse Our Archives\nRelated posts from Scientology Beliefs",

"She knows the score for broadcast growth\n\nThere was quite the celebration in Brazil this past July 30. The country’s women’s soccer team edged host Colombia 1-0 in the finals of Copa America Femenina, the South American qualifier for next year’s FIFA World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. As winners, Brazil also will compete in the inaugural 2023 Women’s Finalissima against Britain.\n\nTens of millions of Brazilians tuned into that nailbiter of a finale on the SBT network—Sistema Brasileiro de Televisao—which had acquired the tournament rights in May 2021. They’re now tuning in to SBT for CONMEBOL Libertadores, the highest level of South American club soccer, or futbol. Then there’s the Champions and Europe leagues, which also can be seen on SBT.",
null,
"Chalk it up as goals scored by Marina Draib, the SBT lawyer who, in addition to her other responsibilities, helped net the network the rights to promote and broadcast all those the games.\n\n“Legal advice is a key presence at all stages of such processes,” Draib tells Vanguard in August from Sao Paulo “That is participation in bids, validation of proposals, negotiations and contracts. These championships are highly professional, which provides a rich knowledge of the sports market.”\n\nAnd while Draib wasn’t an avid soccer fan before scoring the rights to CONMEBOL Libertadores in 2020, she says her interest in the game has grown, just as it has in other programming that she’s assisted SBT in securing since joining the network as a litigator in 2004.\n\nA most eventful 18 years it’s been, says Draib, who in 2016 was promoted to her current role as head of legal. SBT has been a broadcast media trendsetter in this hemisphere, airing four soap operas that are among Netflix’s top 10 shows. There’s liability to prevent, data privacy and intellectual properties to safeguard, and business opportunity to maximize.\n\n“The company must be sustainable,” she says. “That is, decisions made today cannot be questioned tomorrow, for example, because some regulatory rule has not been considered or because some unnecessary risk has been attached to the company.”",
null,
"Case in point: SBT being Brazil’s only commercial broadcaster for children’s programming, and Draib vigilant about doing so ethically and legally.\n\nIn July 2016 she helped arrange a partnership with The Walt Disney Co., calling for two hours of daily programming. She’s since monitored that arrangement, mindful of rules and regulations regarding child and adolescent performers.\n\n“To produce drama for children and teens is very complicated and challenging,” Draib tells Vanguard in August from Sao Paulo. “Few producers want to get into this kind of content.”\n\nDraib ensures that, prior to putting minors in front of a camera, the network secures a judge’s authorization that their educational, recreational and social development won’t be compromised. There also are standards for product placement. Draib also helps adapt the content to the relevant maturity rating.\n\nEar to the ground\n\nBe it a children’s show or one with a mature theme, there’s bound to be a soundtrack, and that has Draib’s department tending to protocols for copyright and participant authorizations. It’s a challenge, she says, to be profitable on multiple screens, what with the high cost of music rights often inhibiting the licensing of programs for other markets and players.\n\nData privacy is also her responsibility, and with SimbioX having scanned around 290,000 legal documents, the company now controls access to that information. Thanks to SharePoint, most everything now is at the fingertips of authorized personnel.\n\n“It is indeed a great challenge as we are all learning this new area and several issues are intertwined with technology concepts,” she says. “In order for me to discuss this topic properly with my team, I am training myself through courses and certifications.”",
null,
"It’s all part of having a legal role in the entertainment industry, and that’s where Draib intends to stay after honing her skills in other areas. She also recalls how her family tried to steer her to dentistry, but law won out. She earned her bachelor’s and law degrees from Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Sao Paulo and, upon her last promotion at SBT, enhanced her credentials with an MBA from Ibmec.\n\nLike most lawyers, Draib started her career in private practice, doing three stints at firms and lecturing at the college level, before going in-house with SBT. When the former legal director departed in 2016, Draib says her transition was relatively seamless despite the transformations she’d front. And demanding as the job can be, she likes being accountable to one client that’s the company.\n\n“In my free time, I turn all my attention to family,” she says. “I privilege the moments of family life but without giving up my moments alone with series, movies and books that me disconnect and immerse in fiction.”\n\nAt times her own department can seem family, Draib overseeing mostly young lawyers. With her leading by example, she says they’re aware of what’s expected in-house, and she reinforces the importance of legal knowledge beyond the entertainment business.\n\n“Living in an extremely complex, non-linear world, we work on several project fronts,” she says. “We’re not just focusing on problems. I see legal as a support for the sustainable growth of the business. We’re focusing on ‘what can I do to prevent a problem?’”",

"Lieutenant Ralph Pascullo at his desk in his office at St. John's\n\nLieutenant Ralph Pascullo sits at his desk, leaning forward with his arms folded. The St. John’s logo is sewn into his jacket resting over his heart. His NYPD badges hang on the wall in a picture frame above his head.\n\nThe 61-year-old is surrounded by papers, books and photos of his family. He smiles wide, his eyes glistening as he talks about his three children and wife. A photo of him from decades ago is part of a collage made for his police department retirement. He sports that same genuine smile.\n\nPascullo is the current St. John’s Department of Public Safety Lieutenant and Training Coordinator. But that’s not all he is. He also is a student.\n\nDecades after he completed his bachelor’s degree, Pascullo decided to take advantage of the opportunities his position at St. John’s provided him. One of those opportunities being—free classes. He is in his second semester now, on track to receive his masters degree in Criminal Justice Leadership by 2016.\n\n“I am obviously a non-traditional student,” he said. “I am the oldest person in the class.”\n\nAlso a family man, Pascullo can’t help but brag about his three children and wife. His son is getting his second masters degree at St. John’s, his first daughter is a nurse and his youngest daughter, still in high school, loves to help others. He said all his children are passionate about education.\n\n“I think they are proud I went back to school,” he said.\n\nPascullo said he always wanted a masters degree. This semester he is taking Constitutional Law and Public Administration. People will often ask him in his classes, why are you here? He was a leader in law enforcement for nearly three decades.\n\nAt first Pascullo said he was intimidated by the classroom, but now he is excited to hear what professors think about the field in which he spent most of his life working.\n\n“The professors are so knowledgeable that they bring up things that I never thought about,” he said. “I might have done it in principal, but now I want to learn exactly what the experts think about it.”\n\nPascullo, originally from Flushing, joined the Police Academy in 1973. He worked hard, even went back to school at one point to get a four year degree. He advanced through the ranks.\n\n“I was a good street cop I believe and I did get promoted,” he said.\n\nHe was assigned to the most elite unit in the NYPD, the Emergency Service Unit.\n\nAs a result, of being in that group, Pascullo became the task force leader for New York State FEMA Urban Search and Rescue. He said that meant he got to respond to all sorts of disasters in and around the United States including Hurricane George, the first World Trade Center Bombing and the Atlanta City Bombing during the 1996 Olympics.\n\nPascullo spent his career doing everything from defusing hostage situations, responding to bombings and fighting terrorists. He was on scene during the attempted subway bombing in 1997 that inspired the book, “Jihad in Brooklyn: The NYPD Raid that Stopped America’s First Suicide Bombers.”\n\nHe is also currently security for a member of a North African royal family. He retired from the NYPD in 2000 as Deputy Inspector, Executive Officer of the Special Operations Unit, after 28 years of service.\n\n“I really have to say I had the greatest ride in the world in the NYPD,” he said.\n\nPascullo said he was at the top of career at the time of his retirement. He did not want to retire, but he had a heart attack.\n\n“Once the medical condition occurred the career was over,” he said.\n\nThe morning of his heart attack Pascullo had come from a midnight tour of duty. It was a difficult situation he said, but nothing out of the ordinary. It was a barricade hostage; a man was holding a knife to his daughter for six or seven hours. Wearing a heavy vest in the summer and negotiating behind locked doors was not unusual for Pascullo he said. But when he came home that morning he suddenly felt a burning feeling in his chest. He called the ESU and told them he thought he was having a heart attack. He was right.\n\nTwo stents later, the Police Sergeant came to his bedside in the hospital and told Pascullo his career was over.\n\n“I wasn’t prepared for what happened. I was still right in the prime of what I was doing. Happy with what I was doing. No intentions of leaving. And then one day you are told it’s over,” he said. “One day you wake up top of your game and the next day some guy comes in and says you know this is finished.”\n\nPascullo said it was devastating. He spent a few months at home, but he couldn’t sit still. He got a job at Shea Stadium as the Chief of Security. Still not satisfied, he also took a side job as the Inspector General’s Under Cover Agent for the Off Track Betting Corporation for the City of New York.\n\nDespite being retired, on Sept. 11, 2001, Pascullo went straight to Ground Zero to help. He said in all his years of service, he never saw anything like it.\n\nHe can remember flying down Flatbush Avenue to deliver supplies to Ground Zero in a helicopter not long after the towers were hit. They were the only aircraft in the air and Pascullo said they were probably the first people in history to see what the towers looked like after they had first gone down.\n\n“Never expected anything of that magnitude,” he said. “I don’t think anyone did.”\n\nA very large percentage of people he knew died that day.\n\n“That was a tough time,” he said. “When September comes around, you start to think about it.”\n\nPascullo said his position at St. John’s has been more than he could ever imagine. He knew some people at St. John’s from his time in law enforcement and knew of the tuition remission program for the children of employees. His children were almost college age so he decided to try and get a job at the University. Next thing he knew, he was a Public Safety Officer. He started at the bottom, moving up the ranks quickly. He is now a Lieutenant, the highest uniform rank in Public Safety. He cannot speak anymore highly of St. John’s.\n\n“I think it saved me from what I missed in the Police Department,” he said. “It is a pleasure to be here. It is such a pleasant place to work.”\n\nPascullo has now been at the University for almost 10 years. And because nearly 75 percent of the Public Safety Officers at St. John’s are retired NYPD or New York Corrections Officers, Pascullo said it feels like home.\n\n“That brotherhood is very, very hard to find any other place in the world,” he said about the NYPD. “Here at St. John’s though, I have to say, it comes close.”\n\n“The Department of Public Safety and the St. John’s University community are extremely fortunate to have such a dedicated and knowledgeable individual on our team,” Lieutenant Thomas Lawrence, the vice president of Public Safety, said. “Lt. Pascullo’s passion and enthusiasm to ensure the safety of our campuses along with the training and experience obtained during 30 years of service with the NYPD is unmatched.”\n\nPascullo said St. John’s is a great place to work.\n\nAnd soon he will hold a masters degree from the University he loves.\n\n“I always felt that you should never stand still in life,” he said. “You should always try to improve.”"

"Catch a falling rocket and bring it back to shore …\n\nOn Tuesday (Monday evening in New York), Rocket Lab, a small company with a small rocket, pulled off an impressive feat during its latest launch from the east coast of New Zealand.\n\nAfter sending a payload of 34 small satellites to orbit, the company used a helicopter to catch the 39-foot-long used-up booster stage of the rocket before it splashed into the Pacific Ocean.\n\nIf the booster is in good shape, Rocket Lab may refurbish the vehicle, and then use it for another orbital mission, an achievement so far pulled off by only one company, Elon Musk’s SpaceX.\n\nA video stream from the helicopter showed a long cable dangling from the aircraft with cloudy skies below. Then the booster came into view dangling under the parachute.\n\n“There we go, we’ve got our first glimpse of it,” said Murielle Baker, the commentator during the Rocket Lab broadcast. The grappling hook at the end of the helicopter’s cable snagged the parachute line before the captured booster swung and exited the camera view.\n\nRocket Lab gives most of its missions whimsical names. This one was called “There and Back Again,” a nod to the recovery of the booster as well as the subtitle of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” novel. The trilogy of Hobbit movies by director Peter Jackson was shot in New Zealand.\n\nRocket Lab’s booster catch is the latest advance in an industry where rockets used to be expensive single-use throwaways. Reusing all or part of one helps lower the cost of delivering payloads to space and could speed the pace of launching by reducing the number of rockets that need to be manufactured.\n\n“Eighty percent of the cost of the whole rocket is in that first stage, both in terms of materials and labor,” Peter Beck, the chief executive of Rocket Lab, said in an interview on Friday.\n\nSpaceX pioneered a new age in reusable rockets and now regularly lands the first stages of its Falcon 9 rockets and flies them over and over. The second stages of the Falcon 9 (as well as Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket) are still discarded, typically burning up while re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. SpaceX is designing its next-generation super rocket, Starship, to be entirely reusable. Competitors like Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance, and companies in China, are similarly developing rockets that would be at least partially reusable.\n\nNASA’s space shuttles were also partially reusable, but required extensive and expensive work after each flight, and they never lived up to their promise of airliner-like operations.\n\nFor the Falcon 9, the booster fires several times after it separates from the second stages, slowing it en route to a setting down softly on either a floating platform in the ocean or a site on land. The Electron is a much smaller rocket, which makes reuse more challenging.\n\n“You have to spend every bit of your propellant just to get missions up,” Mr. Beck said. That ruled out the possibility of propulsive landings like the Falcon 9 boosters.\n\nInstead, Rocket Lab engineers figured out a more fuel-efficient approach, adding a system of thrusters that expels cold gas to orient the booster as it falls, and thermal protection to shield it from temperatures exceeding 4,300 degrees Fahrenheit.\n\nThe booster separated from the second stage at an altitude of about 50 miles, and during the descent, it accelerated to 5,200 miles per hour.\n\n“If we came in flat, for example, on the side, the rocket would just burn up,” Mr. Beck said. “So we have to orientate and control that first stage to have the heat shield and engines down during the entire flight profile.”\n\nThe friction of the atmosphere acted as a brake. Around 7 minutes, 40 seconds after liftoff, the speed of the booster’s fall slowed to under twice the speed of sound. At that point, a small parachute called the drogue deployed, adding additional drag. A larger main parachute further slowed the booster to a more leisurely rate.\n\nRocket Lab had demonstrated on three earlier launches that Electron boosters can survive re-entry. But on those missions, the boosters splashed in the ocean and were then pulled out for examination.\n\nThis time, a Sikorsky S-92 helicopter hovering in the area met the booster midair, dragging a cable with a grappling hook across the line between the drogue and main parachutes.\n\nWith almost all of its propellant expended, the booster was much lighter than at launch. But it was still a weighty piece of metal — a cylinder four feet in diameter and about as tall as a four-story building and weighing nearly 2,200 pounds or a metric ton. After catching the booster, the helicopter began carrying it back to land.\n\nMr. Beck said eventually Rocket Lab would like to catch boosters for about half of its missions. The added weight of the thrusters, parachutes and thermal protection reduces the payload of 550 pounds by 10 to 15 percent.\n\nLater this month, Rocket Lab could launch CAPSTONE, a NASA-financed but privately operated mission, that will study a highly elliptical path around the moon to be used by a future American lunar space station. Before the end of this year, Rocket Lab hopes to start using a second launch site on Wallops Island in Virginia.",

"Pectoral Sandpiper, Myroe, L/derry\nVagrants from the West\nFor most of the past month Ireland seems to have been battered by deep low pressure system after deep low pressure system. The positioning of the Jetstream have brought these systems have tracked right across the Atlantic, many the remnants of hurricanes. The winds as they have moved up the eastern seaboard of America can pick up within them migrating birds, especially waders.\n\nUp here in the north the depositing of these birds seems to a little less impressive, though I did seen a Pectoral Sandpiper last Saturday morning at Myroe, Co Londonderry and a Buff breasted Sandpiper on Malin Head, Co. Donegal, and earlier in September a Semi-palmated Sandpiper at the Bann Estuary. Any flock of waders or wetland area is well worth a check, you never know what might be lurking there waiting to be found. An American Golden Plover and Buff Breasted Sandpiper have also been seen in Co Down in the past week.\n\nIceland for example has already had multiple Long-billed Dowitchers. American Golden Plover and a Lesser Yellowlegs. Once these birds have recovered the urge to continue to migrate south may take over and they may well follow the same route as our commoner waders and arrive in Northern Ireland over the coming weeks. And it’s not just waders, Iceland has also recently hosted a Northern Parula a stunning little American warbler.\n\nIf you are interested in finding/seeing American birds on this side of the Atlantic this is the year to get out and have a look."

"Thailand’s leading youth orchestra takes to filmmaking during the lockdown",
null,
"“Stupid boy! There is no free pizza. There’s never free pizza,” proclaims the maestro in delightfully hammy vein, closing his eyes in triumphant disdain. We see the mentioned boy, presumably, sitting tied up on a sofa and being fed a slice of pizza by one other lad. A pair of flautists, flanking them, play on. The scene is from the trailer of a brand new Thai movie, The Maestro, by which the eponymous character, a down-and-out composer, lures a gaggle of musicians, who’re unemployed thanks to the pandemic, to his nation mansion. He assembles them into an orchestra and forces them to play his newest and biggest symphony, however they’re his captives and should stay in terror of his baton as he descends into insanity.\n\nGoing by the trailer, the maestro is indubitably the star of the present. He emotes, he cajoles, he explodes. And for followers of the classical music scene, he might be a well-recognized face. The function is performed by Somtow Sucharitkul, 68, Thailand’s star composer. The remainder of the forged is a mixture of skilled actors and musicians from the Siam Sinfonietta, a youth orchestra based by Somtow in 2010, as a approach to prepare younger musicians professionally. They’ve all come collectively to produce this homage to horror B-movies, and it serves as a car for bored performers to flex their musical muscle mass and attain the public during the lockdown.\n\nThe Sinfonietta has had outstanding success over the previous decade, profitable quite a few prizes and acting at main worldwide venues like New York’s Carnegie Hall. It is run with outstanding rigour, accepting members of all backgrounds and academic {qualifications} however with two situations: Everyone should audition yearly. And once they attain the age of 25, they’ve to step down.\n\nThe Sinfonietta had elaborate plans for 2020. Cue the pandemic, and the whole lot had to be put aside. Venues have been shut and gatherings of greater than 20 folks banned as a part of lockdown restrictions. By December, Somtow sensed a rising malaise amongst his idle musicians, and was fearful about each their musical development and psychological well being. He spoke to his good friend, British-born filmmaker Paul Spurrier, who has been primarily based in Thailand for 20 years. Spurrier had related tales to inform about actors, technicians and others in the movie business.\n\nTime to ideate and rehearse\n\nIt was during these conversations that they immediately noticed a loophole in the restrictions — teams of greater than 20 performers might collect if it was for the manufacturing of a movie or TV present. This meant the Sinfonietta might rehearse and carry out if it might be labored into a movie. Spurrier got here up with the thought of The Maestro, which appealed to Somtow, additionally famously a horror and sci-fi creator. Spurrier would direct, and he insisted that Somtow himself play the maestro. They set about elevating funds and recruiting actors, and a few of Thailand’s prime actors resembling Vithaya Pansringarm, Sahajak Boonthanakit and David Asavanond agreed to participate for a lot lower than their traditional payment.\n\nThe actors and musicians quickly developed a collaborative spirit on set. “Musicians helped actors to actually feel the music, and actors helped the musicians to expose their personalities to the camera,” says Spurrier in a press launch. Asavanond, an actor, discovered how to conduct an orchestra to play the function of a rival conductor, whereas musicians grew to become actors; soprano Jirut Khamlanghan, for instance, performs the younger maestro’s abused mom.\n\nThe soundtrack was, in fact, at the coronary heart of all of it — the 100-minute movie is sort of “wall-to-wall music,” says Somtow, in his emailed responses. He describes how, unusually, a lot of the rating was composed and recorded forward of filming: “There were extensive sequences of “pure cinema,” the place music and picture are the solely issues skilled by the viewers. Paul determined I might compose the music first for these scenes, after which he would shoot the movie and edit it to match. There are 45 minutes of the soundtrack that have been composed this manner. Paul would offer an in depth [chart] — virtually a shot checklist — with every edit marked in seconds. I had to write the music for a full orchestra whereas imagining what this movie, which didn’t at that time have a single body of music shot, would seem like… So the bulk of the music was composed in a far closer-than-usual partnership between director and composer. I can’t consider a extra tightly knit unit in the historical past of movie — possibly the relationship between Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann in these traditional movies like Vertigo.”\n\nFilming was accomplished in April, shortly earlier than the third wave of COVID-19 hit the nation. So it’ll have to wait to hit theatres, however when it does, this will probably be the first Thai movie produced during the pandemic. And additionally the first Thai movie ever with a full orchestral rating carried out by Thai musicians.",

"American Audio threw a party for a group of So Cal DJs on September 15 to introduce the widely anticipated VMS4.1 Digital Work Station. The temporary stage at “party central” in the company’s headquarters was set up to look like something out of the Academy Award ceremony.\n\nHow fitting was that??? The new VMS4.1 is destined for super stardom as an indispensible mobile entertainment tool. A lot of companies hype up the second version of existing products as “new and improved.” But the new VMS4.1 goes miles and miles beyond this hype; it builds on the best its predecessor had to offer, smoothes out a few rough edges and adds some pretty incredible new features of its own, to come up with a tool that will help DJs take their performance to places they’ve never been before.\n\nThe VMS4.1 is not only the “next step” in a product series; it’s a giant leap forward into the future. “We’ve taken everything we learned from the VMS4, and taken it to a new level with this product,” said Tom Freret, National Sales Manager of American Audio. “We’re so pumped up by the VMS4.1; it blows us away every time we see – and hear – it in action.”\n\nApparently, a lot of the DJs in attendance at the Launch Party agreed. Words like “wow!” and “amazing,” were heard about as often as “tax cuts” and “new jobs” are at a political rally. Here is a sampling of the reaction:\n\n· “I’ve been one of the biggest VMS4 fans and supporter since day one, so in my honest opinion they took something great, and made it greater! They listened to their DJs and stepped up to the plate... “Johnny Aftershock Mancilla.\n\n· “The launch party was very nicely done, well timed, informative without dragging and a very generous goodie- bag and VMS4.1 t-shirts for everyone in attendance... not to mention dinner and beverages! I was honored to be included on the guest list and appreciated the opportunity to learn about all the improvements that were implemented on an already stellar product!” Ken Heath\n\nThe VMS4.1 is using the same Virtual DJ LE software as its predecessor, but this will be updated. When it is, this update will be available at no cost to VMS4.1 owners.\n\nThere’s also good news for budget-minded performers in the launch of VMS4.1. The new products is priced at $499.99. The product will be available the first week in October."

"Environment groups have slammed the Hodgman Government’s plan to log oldgrowth rainforests within Tasmania’s formal reserve estate and also in the Future Potential Production Forests (FPPF), previously designated for secure, formal reserve protection, describing it as an outrageous and dangerous proposal that threatens the environment and Tasmania’s brand, whilst opening the need for government subsidies for this logging.\n\nThe final plan is gazetted today and comes into force over the weekend. Over 4000 people made submissions on Premier Hodgman’s rainforest logging plan, almost all of them explicitly opposing the plan and rejecting the notion of logging oldgrowth rainforest reserves. The fact this plan proposes logging in a Tarkine rainforest reserve specifically protected from specialty timber logging by John Howard in 2005, demonstrates just how far back this will drag Tasmania and its people.\n\nThe groups highlighted that the rainforest logging plan identifies that cost of production will outweigh a sawmill’s ‘capacity to pay’ for logs, and called on Premier Hodgman to rule out providing taxpayer subsidies for any kind of rainforest logging.\n\n“Logging oldgrowth rainforests within Tasmania’s formal and informal conservation reserves will never be OK and environment groups will maintain longstanding campaigns to properly protect these forests in new national parks and other reserves that rule out all forms of logging,” said Vica Bayley, spokesperson for the Wilderness Society.\n\n“Logging trees that are over 300 years old can never be considered sustainable no matter where they grow, but logging them from conservation reserves demonstrates a new level of stupidity and risk,’ Mr Bayley said.\n\n“Australians do not want Tasmania’s rainforests logged, but the government has ignored the overwhelming submissions of citizens, including the 4000 people who made submissions to the Hodgman government in opposition to their plans to log rainforests,” Jenny Weber, Bob Brown Foundation’s Campaign Manager said.\n\n“Prime Minister Turnbull and Premier Hodgman are overseeing an ecological catastrophe by abandoning long time protection of Tasmanian forest reserves for rainforest logging. It is an international shame that Tasmania’s unique rainforests, set aside long ago, are now open to exploitation,” Jenny Weber said.\n\n“This plan is an attack on the 37 years of conservation outcomes that underpin nature-based tourism in the Tarkine region, including Australia’s largest tract of Gondwanan temperate rainforest in takayna / Tarkine. The Tarkine rainforests, if given the World Heritage listing they warrant, have a far greater job-sustaining potential for north-west Tasmania left intact and protected from logging,” Jenny Weber said.\n\n“This duplicitous plan throws tourism operators under a bus, as 295,700 hectares of reserves in the Tarkine will be thrown to logging corporations. Most of them reserves are created under John Howard and Paul Lennon”, said Save the Tarkine Campaign Coordinator, Scott Jordan.\n\nThe Tasmanian Premier has two important questions to answer:\n\n• when and where will the bulldozers and chainsaws go in to log these precious rainforests and how will the public be informed about each operation? Or will we be kept in the dark only to come upon logging inside reserves?\n\n• Will the rainforest logging allowed via this plan be subsidised by government, given that the plan identifies cost of production will outweigh a sawmill’s ‘capacity to pay’\n\n“The markets will not be impressed to discover that they are being sold rainforest hacked out of reserves, which really is equivalent to killing elephants for ivory.\n\nThe Tasmanian Government is going to some lengths to uphold their reputation for brutal, unacceptable logging practices and we’ll help publicise how dreadful it is,” Ms Putt concluded."

"\"Clueless\" and the end of Gen X: How Cher Horowitz taught us to stop worrying and embrace millennial optimism, post-racial fantasy and the 1 percent",
null,
"In an early scene in \"Clueless,\" a close-up reveals the sagging waistbands of a pack of young, SoCal teens, all loping to class in the signature Generation X uniform of baggy jeans, exposed boxer shorts and wallet chains as World Party's cover of Mott the Hoople's “All the Young Dudes” blares on the soundtrack. Then Cher Horowitz’s (Alicia Silverstone) chipper, California Girl uptalk—surely the vocal fry of the 1990s—cuts through the straining authenticity practiced by the pack:\n\n“So OK, I don’t want to be a traitor to my generation and all? But I don’t get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair—ewww—and cover it up with a backwards cap, and like, we’re expected to swoon?”\n\nHere, with a single toss of her healthy blond coiffure, Cher, the \"Clueless\" protagonist and moral center of Amy Heckerling's 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen's \"Emma,\" dismisses the entire ethos of Generation X. As Jeffrey Sconce explains: “X’ers have long been regarded as the most cynical, detached and ironic of population clusters. Boomers, the logic goes, got all the good jobs and prime real estate, while Gen Y (aka, “the Millennials”) got a renewed sense of earnestness, enthusiasm, and optimism. X marks the spot in between—those pissed off at baby-boomers for their narcissistic entitlement and pissed off at the Millennials for not being more pissed off.”\n\nModeled by practitioners of authenticity like Kurt Cobain, Tupac Shakur and Liz Phair, and writ large on-screen in films like \"Slacker\" (1991), \"Menace II Society\" (1993) and \"Natural Born Killers\" (1994), Gen X preached the gospel of flannel and grunge, of fuck the police and fuck and run, and here we are now, entertain us.\n\nIn \"Clueless,\" the Xer is, of course, represented by Josh (Paul Rudd), a naysaying, overly cerebral college student who is too busy mooching off of his ex-stepfather’s well-stocked kitchen to rage against the machine. Sure, Josh sits around the Horowitz mansion in his sad plaids and Amnesty International T-shirts, complaining about Cher’s narcissism and consumerism and listening to Radiohead. But he’s too comfortable to do anything differently himself. As Cher quips, “So the flannel shirt deal. Is that a nod to the crispy Seattle weather or are you just trying to stay warm in front of the refrigerator?”\n\nIndeed, \"Clueless\" drew a line in the generational sand in the summer of 1995, marking a key transition in the way fictional youth engaged with their world; the moment youth characters went from representing Gen X—a generation of disenfranchisement and slack—to representing the generation we’ve come to know as the millennials, who are associated with hope and action. Sure, \"Clueless\" addresses typical teen fare like divorce, drug abuse, premarital sex, cliques and dating, but the bright bubblegum colors of the mise en scene, the peppy soundtrack and Silverstone's infectiously happy performance offered an antidote to the cynicism our generation was told it must embrace to be “authentic.” If anything, the film pokes fun at the idea of the “slacker” and embraces earnestness and positivity.\n\nGenerational thinking—that is, explaining the behaviors and consumption habits of large chunks of a population based on when they were born--is not all that useful, as Rebecca Onion explains: “Overly schematised and ridiculously reductive, generation theory is a simplistic way of thinking about the relationship between individuals, society, and history. It encourages us to focus on vague ‘generational personalities’, rather than looking at the confusing diversity of social life.”\n\nHowever, generational thinking can function quite well when we look not at the way real generations of individuals behave in the real world, but at how fictional generations behave in the fictional world of the movies. In other words, although real-life 1990s teenagers displayed a range of preferences and behaviors and attitudes, their filmic counterparts were far more homogenous; popular culture told Generation X that they were slackers and thugs, spectators and hecklers, misanthropists and depressives. We smoked a lot and watched TV. We were racially segregated. We lacked good career prospects. And whether it was the middle-class bubble depicted in \"Reality Bites\" (1994) or the inflated sense of urban danger presented in \"Boyz N the Hood\" (1991), Generation X was obsessed with the concept of authenticity, or not selling out.\n\nIn \"Reality Bites\" Lelaina (Winona Ryder) quickly gives up on her dreams of making documentaries until she gets into a fender bender with Michael (Ben Stiller), a producer at In Your Face, an MTV-style youth-oriented cable channel. Not surprisingly, Michael turns Lelaina’s angst-fueled footage about her lost generation into a cheesy \"Real World\"-style reality series. Stiller’s character is lame, we are told, because he believes that money can solve his problems. And \"Boyz N the Hood’s\" Ricky (Morris Chestnut), who wisely parlays his football skills into a college scholarship, is killed in a drive-by shooting before he can secure a stable, middle-class existence for himself and his young family. Before burying his brother, Doughboy (Ice Cube) concludes, “Shit just goes on and on, you know.”\n\nA similar skepticism of capitalism and the American Dream can also be found in the previous decade’s generational, coming-of-age films. In 1980s teen pics like \"Better Off Dead\" (1985), \"Pretty in Pink\" (1986) and \"Some Kind of Wonderful\" (1987), the wealthy were not to be trusted. They were at best fakes and, at worst, sadists. The rich could only be redeemed through contact with the authentically poor or middle class, hardworking teens like Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey),who learn the hard way that money \"Can’t Buy Me Love\" (1987). But in \"Clueless,\" there is no doubt that money solves all problems. For example, during speech class, Cher explains how the American government should handle Haitian immigrants with an anecdote about a garden party and place settings: “And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty.”\n\nCher has empathy but lacks perspective, her privilege simultaneously shielding her from the horrors of the world as well as the viewer’s judgment. Her solution to Haitian refugees is the correct one—make do with less to accommodate more—but lacks an understanding of the complex social, political and economic factors required to solve the issue.\n\nCher’s fabulous wardrobe, impossible for anyone but the wealthiest of Americans to afford, highlights her high social status and Beverly Hills area code. Her snobbery, which would have made her the villain just a few years earlier, is celebrated and embraced. Tai (Brittney Murphy), who is coded as working-class, uncultured and boyish, is made over as Cher and Dionne’s literal charity case. Similarly, Travis (Breckin Myer) only becomes a suitable boyfriend for Tai after donating his bong to charity and finding a way to monetize his skateboarding skills. As Cher helpfully explains, “It is one thing to spark up a doobie and get laced at parties, but it is quite another to be fried all day.” Thus, \"Clueless\" argues that money—or being within the orbit of the kindly altruistic rich--can truly solve all of our problems.\n\nIn addition to its relentless optimism and faith in American capitalism, \"Clueless\" also illustrated the fantasy of diversity my peers and I had been raised on—a blindcasted vision of teen unity in which white, black, gay, straight, rich and poor can help each other through their exposure to difference. It is telling that, in writing this piece and thinking about the films made for and about Generation X teenagers, the most salient examples that come to mind are almost wholly segregated by race. In the 1990s, fictional white young adults were searching for meaningful employment or pondering the universe in \"Singles\" (1992) while black young adults were getting shot at or locked up in movies like \"Juice\" (1992).\n\nBut \"Clueless\" implies that all of the students at Bronson Alcott High are united through the opportunities afforded by their Beverly Hills area code. For example, Cher and Dionne (Stacey Dash) are best friends, their matching star names and outfits signaling their equal class and social status. The fact that Dionne is black and Cher is white is never overtly addressed in the film, just hinted at through moments in which Dionne and her boyfriend, Murray (Donald Faison), engage in lovers’ quarrels over lost hair extensions. Cher’s peer group is multiethnic and multiracial, yet race and ethnicity are never an issue or topic of discussion. Similarly, Christian’s (Justin Walker) sexuality, once revealed, is a non-issue for Cher and her friends. Thus, in true millennial fashion, \"Clueless\" presents a post-racial, post-sexual world in which the American Dream can, in fact, come true, for those with the right attitude, because each generation inherits its own set of delusions.\n\nIt is fitting that Josh—the film's representative Xer—eventually falls in love with Cher, even though her seeming lack of intellectual depth and unhealthy obsession with The Galleria once appalled him. Similarly \"Clueless,\" which Gen X lined up to see in record numbers, taught us to stop worrying and love optimism again. And why not? In Cher’s blazing orbit skateboarding stoners get their lives on track, nerdy teachers find their soul mates, and grades are, to quote Cher, “just a jumping off point to start negotiations.” The future is no longer doomed and hopeless but bright and malleable. In \"Clueless,\" selfish became the new altruism and positivity became the new authenticity. Cher, with her bright yellow knee socks and can-do attitude told Gen X our generation and its malaise was officially out of touch and irrelevant and, in true Xer style, we sat back and watched to see what would happen.\n\nAmanda Ann Klein is Associate Professor of Film Studies in the English Department at East Carolina University.

"An Historical Outline of the Concept “Grotesque”\n\nApart from corresponding definitions of the grotesque in art, where, to quote the The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English, it is seen as a “decorative painting or sculpture with fantastic interweaving of human and animal forms with foliage” or a “comically distorted figure or design,” there seems to be no real agreement as to what the word actually means.\n\nMany adjectives, such as “distorted”, “bizarre”, “absurd” and “fantastic” are enumerated as possible synonyms, but leave one with the feeling that in themselves they cannot convey the meaning of this intricate term. Such important aspects of the grotesque as the horrifying and the macabre are not mentioned at all.\n\nIf there is a lack of agreement amongst the compilers of the various dictionaries about the meaning of the term, the disagreement is even more obvious amongst the critics, scholars and writers who have probed more deeply into the subject. As a French critic has put it , “l’ambiguïté est souveraine.”\n\nHowever, to prove the point about the variance that exists, and always has existed on the subject of the grotesque — perhaps due to its radical and extreme nature, as Philip Thomson suggests — and in the hope of making this article more comprehensible, a brief historical outline of the term and concept “grotesque” will first be presented.\n\nThe origin of the word “grotesque” can be traced back to the Italian noun grotte-caves, where paintings from the reign of Augustus of the type described in the The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English were discovered during the excavations of Rome at the end of the fifteenth-century.\n\nAs a result of the great interest in these paintings and the extensive imitation of them, the adjective form of the word, grottesco (as well as the noun grottesca), soon spread to other Dollarspean countries; in both France and England the word “crotesque” was used until, around 1640, the English began using their own form of the word, grotesque.\n\nInitially, the use of the word was limited to the visual arts, but eventually, it came to include literature and other phenomena outside the original field. In France it was used as early as the end of the sixteenth-century by Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, who saw a likeness between his own ornate style of writing and grotesque painting; about seventy years later Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux employed it in an exclusively literary sense: to him “grotesque” signified “burlesque” or “parody” and was altogether justifiable when directed, for instance, at “‘Gothic’ or barbarous poetry.”\n\nIn 1695, in “A Parallel of Painting and Poetry,” John Dryden revealed his conception of farce based on Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux and Horace: “There is yet a lower sort of Poetry and Painting which is out of Nature. For a Farce is that in Poetry, which Grotesque is in a Picture. The Persons and Action of a Farce are all unnatural, and the Manners false, that is inconsistent with the characters of Mankind.\n\nGrotesque-painting is the just resemblance of this; and Horace be gins his Art of Poetry by describing such a Figure; with a Man’s Head, a Horse’s Neck, the Wings of a Bird, and a Fishes Tail; parts of different species jumbled together, according to the mad imagination of the Dawber; and the endo fall this, as he tells you afterward, to cause Laughter.\n\nA very Monster in a Bartholomew-Fair, for the Mob, to gape at for their two-pence. Laughter is indeed the propriety of a Man, but just enough to distinguish him from his elder Brother, with four Legs. ‘Tis a kind of Bastard-pleasure too, taken in at the Eyes of the vulgar gazers, and a the Ears of the beastly Audience. Church-Painters use it to divert the honest Countryman at Pubick Prayers and keep his Eyes open at a heavy Sermon. And Farce-Scriblers make use of the same noble invention, to entertain Citizens, Country-Gentlemen, and Covent Garden Fops. If they are merry, all goes well on the Poet’s side. The better sort goe thither too, but in despair of Sense and the just Images of Nature, which are the adequate pleasures of the Mind.”\n\nAs can be seen from this quotation, John Dryden, being a writer and critic of the neo-classical school, relegated grotesques to a place “among the ignoble subjects of painting and literature” in the conviction that they did not make sense, or depict nature or serve a moral purpose.\n\nUnlike most of his French colleagues, however, John Dryden did not reject grotesques altogether; as the end of the parallel indicates, he felt that a farce-writer’s primary concern must be to amuse the audience rather than to elevate their minds.\n\nOn the whole, however, during the seventeenth-century, “grotesque” was used almost exclusively as an art term both in England and Germany. It was not until the beginning of the next century that the word was adopted as a literary term and then with a derogatory meaning.\n\nBeing primarily associated with caricature — as a result of the grotesque work of the French engraver Jacques Callot — and with farce and burlesque, “the more general sense […] which it has developed by the early eighteenth-century is […] that of ‘ridiculous, distorted, unnatural’ (adj.); ‘an absurdity, a distortion of nature (noun),’” according to Arthur Clayborough in his book on the subject.\n\nThis view of the grotesque was to prevail for almost two hundred years. In Germany, it revealed itself in the works of Justus Möser, Karl Friedrich Flögel and Heinrich Schneegans; in England in the criticism of Thomas Wright and John Addington Symonds.\n\nNone of these writers condemned the grotesque as such — Heinrich Schneegans, for instance, spoke admiringly of the particular satirical grotesque found in François Rabelais, which he defined as “die bis zur Unmöglichkeit gesteigerte Übertreibung,” and both Karl Friedrich Flögel and Justus Möser defended the existence of the comic-grotesque, which they saw as the result of a natural inclination inherent in man from time immemorial; yet they all looked upon the grotesque primarily as a grossly exaggerated and absurd form of art.\n\nIn a lecture on François Rabelais, Jonathan Swift and Laurence Sterne in 1818 he specified, “When words or images are placed in unusual juxta-position rather than in connection and are so placed merely because the juxta-position is unusual — we have the odd or the grotesque.”\n\nThis type of grotesqueness was found in Tobias Smollett’s ‘The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle’ and Laurence Sterne’s ‘The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman’ and represented a sort of false humour.",

"Despite a 4% drop compared with July 2014, the best-selling car in America in July 2015 was once again the Toyota Camry.\n\nNo competitor came within 3900 sales of catching the Camry. Even the Nissan Altima, periodically America’s top-selling car on a monthly basis, generated a 27% year-over-year improvement but fell 4593 sales short of the Camry’s total.\n\nThe Toyota Corolla, meanwhile, slipped 2% to 30,249 units. Although the Corolla is America’s second-best-selling car through the first seven months of 2015, it fell to fifth place in July’s rankings.\n\n11 of America’s 20 best-selling passenger cars reported year-over-year declines in July. The worst belonged to the 20th-ranked Nissan Versa, which plunged 36% for a 5681-unit loss. The Toyota Prius was down 17%. Volkswagen Jetta sales fell 12%, but that was caused by the SportWagen’s departure to the Golf nameplate. Jetta sedan sales were actually up 4% last month.\n\nHistorical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling cars can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBC’s Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well.

"The Winter Palace is indeed impressive historical fiction. Betrayal, intrigue, espionage, an evil and selfish empress, chaos, maddness, torture and banishment in the court, to end with a final coup. Ms. Stachniak spins this tale beautifully.",
null,
"Synopsis: (from Goodreads) The Winter Palace tells the epic story of Catherine the Great’s improbable rise to power—as seen through the ever-watchful eyes of an all-but-invisible servant close to the throne.\n\nHer name is Barbara—in Russian, Varvara. Nimble-witted and attentive, she’s allowed into the employ of the Empress Elizabeth, amid the glitter and cruelty of the world’s most eminent court. Under the tutelage of Count Bestuzhev, Chancellor and spymaster, Varvara will be educated in skills from lock picking to lovemaking, learning above all else to listen—and to wait for opportunity. That opportunity arrives in a slender young princess from Zerbst named Sophie, a playful teenager destined to become the indomitable Catherine the Great. Sophie’s destiny at court is to marry the Empress’s nephew, but she has other, loftier, more dangerous ambitions, and she proves to be more guileful than she first appears.\n\nWith dazzling details and intense drama, Eva Stachniak depicts Varvara’s secret alliance with Catherine as the princess grows into a legend—through an enforced marriage, illicit seductions, and, at last, the shocking coup to assume the throne of all of Russia.\n\nIf you are however, thinking this novel is solely about Catherine and her greatness as ruler of Russia, you may wish to take note that it is far more about the palace spy Vavara and her fight to keep Catherine relevant and help her rise to power. Barbara, the Polish bookbinder’s daughter, the foreigner, handed a more appropriate Russian name of Vavara for when she succeeds in becoming the palace tongue. Vavara is groomed for the Empress Elizabeth, but her strong connection and favour to Princess Sophie is what sets her on the path to do everything in her power to assure Catherine succeeds in taking over the crown.\n\nI knelt on the ground, recalling the first time I saw her, a child of fourteen arriving in Moscow, unsure of her fate. I thought of the young woman she became, branded by injustice and pain, singed by humiliation. Much had been taken from her and yet her heart had not been broken. My Empress, I thought.\n\nYou need to wait until the final 80 pages or so before you are able to read about the Catherine that is to be “Catherine the Great”. And it is here that the story really grabs hold of you. But never mind that, because it is all fulfilling and fun as we listen to Vavara weave her interesting tales of betrayal and secrets and her undying love and support for Catherine. This is more of a tale of friendship between Vavara and Catherine.\n\nSo that all Elizabeth had destroyed could be repaired, all that she had filled with secrecy could be illuminated by the truth of the new reign\n\nThe Winter Palace is however wonderful and Stachniak’s writing is vivid and full with delightful details. I did feel slightly disappointed though as you are led to believe this is more about Catherine, and her time as ruler, given the full title, (The Winter Palace: A novel of Catherine the Great) but I then I decided to sit back and enjoy the fact that this was a story written through the eyes of Vavara, and her determination to see Catherine as the successor to Empress Elizabeth. It is Vavara’s story giving us insider information about palace betrayal and the secretive nature of Imperial Russia and her growing dislike for the life shrouded in secrecy and betrayal.\n\nThe words that come to me are simple, though I will have to disguise them in my letter: I know what power does to your heart. I know the price of fear. Your world is not the world I want for my child.\n\nSome parts around the middle did begin to drag, and some were a bit tiresome to hear repeated like Empress Elizabeth’s continuing fear, jealousy and selfishness, but overall, a highly worthwhile and very enjoyable story. 3.5 stars.\n\nI read this too for Random House Canada’s Historical Fiction Challenge. You can check the Challenge out here, as you still have until the end of February to challenge yourself to read their selected list of titles.\n\nYou may wish to watch the Winter Palace Book Trailer here\n\n2 thoughts on “Review: The Winter Palace”"

"“Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches”, The Stranglers song was a hit back then, but nowadays is kind of forgotten by main public. It was one of the big summer hits of 1977 in the UK, a close rival to The Sex Pistols’ “God Save The Queen” in terms of notoriety. The track peaked at No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart.\n\nWhile “God Save the Queen” was notorious for its political sentiment, “Peaches” was controversial because of its sexual content: the song’s narrator is girl-watching on a crowded beach one hot summer day.\n\nIt is never made clear if his lascivious thoughts (such as “there goes a girl and a half”) are an interior monologue, comments to his mates, or come-on lines to the attractive women in question. Critic Tom Maginnis writes that Hugh Cornwell sings with “a lecherous sneer, the sexual tension is so unrelenting as to spill into macho parody or even censor-baiting territory.”\n\n“Peaches” by The Stranglers\n\nThe lyrics of the song include a word that sounds like clitoris, albeit pronounced with an emphasis on the second syllable: “Is she trying to get out of that clitORis?” The song is driven by a prominent and distinctive bass line.\n\nThe single was a double A-side with pub rock song “Go Buddy Go” which was played on UK radio at the time and also on the band’s BBC TV Top of the Pops appearance because the sexual nature of the lyrics of “Peaches” caused the BBC to ban it.",
null,
"Still, “Peaches” was ranked at No. 18 among the top “Tracks of the Year” for 1977 by NME,and it reached No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart. The radio cut, however, had to be re-recorded with less explicit lyrics: “clitoris” was replaced with “bikini”, “oh shit” with “oh no” and “what a bummer” with “what a summer”.\n\nCancel reply\nBack In Time: McCartney on when George’s father punched the teacher\nFoo Fighters announces another “CalJam” for 2018\nAdvertisement\nTo Top"

"It was a holiday homework from school for the kid; to read and present a book, when the school re-opened after the summer vacations of April-May. Choosing a book is no easy task, especially when the sole aim of the holidays is to get away from books and reading.\n\nThe kid was going on a trip to Sri Lanka and hence why not a book on the country? It will serve the dual purpose of reading a book and gleaning some knowledge about a new country. We searched the net for potential candidates and right on top appeared “Running in the Family” by Michael Ondaatje. The reviews on the book were excellent. But though its cliché to never judge a book by its cover; the cover with a black and white photograph of what appeared as some fancy dress competition didn’t look very inviting.",

"Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje\n\nWhat helped though was that the author was born in Sri Lanka, it was a small narrative of 234 pages and Michael Ondaatje is the author of the Booker Prize winning, Oscar award-winning story – The English Patient. And the book was not a love story and spoke of no war, but a narrative of the lives in the erstwhile Sri Lanka, when it was still called Ceylon – “… a pendant off the ear of India “.\n\nThe author left Ceylon when he was eleven; the narrative starts with his return to Sri Lanka, where he stays with his aunt at Jaffna. His parents hailed from two very wealthy families in Ceylon, his grandfather owning acres in the heart of Kegalle which housed the family home called “Rock Hill”. While piecing together his parents lives, he also narrates tales of the outlandish and fondly remembered in the vast entourage of family and friends. These real life characters have a story that is anything but ordinary; his uncle sets fire to his room at Oxford, his maternal grandmother could read thunder, his father used ping-pong balls to ensnare snakes, which fed on the chicken eggs….\n\nTo cut the story short, the book was a delightful and easy read. There is some poetry in the middle pages which we gave only a cursory read; we prefer books for the know-how and entertainment. It introduces the places in Sri Lanka, the food, the weather, the society, the birds and animals on a very personal and relatable note. Though the kid was familiar with the names of places in Sri Lanka like Jaffna, Colombo or Kandy; the hill station called Nuwara Eliya was a discovery made in the book. It’s a hill station and the author describes the up-country place in great detail, where his family used to go during the hot summer months to beat the heat and the many adventures there.\n\nAnd coincidence or not, the kid and group passed through Nuwara Eliya on the drive from Yala to Kandy.\n\nThe book celebrates life and speaks about loss; of family members and fortune. Akin to real life, with no happy endings, the book though is upbeat and filled with hilarity, even the funerals will make you smile. A good read !!"

"The Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations say a convicted sex offender, James Lee Bristol, 44, attempted to abduct a 21-year-old woman June 3 in downtown Burlington before he tried to rob a bank later the same day.\n\nPolice say Bristol began following the woman while she was walking on South Union Street at 2:30 a.m. June 3. The victim said he came up to her and placed his arm around her waist. When she told him to leave her alone, the victim said he told her he was not taking no for an answer, and she was coming with him, said Sgt. Christopher Nadeau of CUSI.\n\nThe victim told police the assailant struck her in the face when she tried to escape. But she managed to break free, run up Bradley Street and hide on a porch until a friend arrived, police said.\n\nBristol was arrested later June 3 after police say he attempted to rob the Citizens Bank on College Street in Burlington at about 11:30 a.m. The man who tried to commit the robbery said he had a handgun, but showed no weapon. Bristol was unarmed when he was apprehended on North Street shortly after the robbery, police said.",
null,
"He has been in custody since his arrest, Nadeau said.\n\nFriday morning, he was arraigned on charges related to the kidnapping attempt. He pleaded not guilty to unlawful restraint and simple assault in Vermont Superior Court in Burlington.\n\nHe is being held without bail. A psychiatric evaluation and a competency evaluation have been ordered. Bristol's next court hearing is scheduled for July 8.\n\nPolice said Bristol is a registered sex offender whom they considered highly likely to re-offend. He was released from Vermont Department of Corrections custody after he maxed out of a 210 day sentence. He was not under Corrections supervision after his release, according to an early May statement from Nadeau.\n\nBristol has prior convictions for sexual assault, and his earlier offenses, Nadeau said in May, have been against women ranging from 17 to 50 years old.\n\nThe Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations is searching for any surveillance video that may have captured the incident, which they say may have started at South Union and Maple and moved to South Union and Bradley.\n\nOfficers are asking anyone who has experienced a similar encounter with the suspect or witnessed an encounter to contact Detective Peter Chapman of the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations at 802-652-6898 or pchapman@bpdvt.org"

"The second-largest city in Greece, Thessaloniki has all the characteristics expected from it, blending old and new in a wonderful way. And yet it has its own distinct, youthful, chaotic charm to it.\n\nLocated around 500 km away from historic Athens, Thessaloniki has it own stories to tell, stretching back centuries. As the second-largest city in the country, those stories also stretch across plenty of streets. The size brings chaos and madness, as the new world tries to meld with the ancient city and Greece recovers from the economic woes of the past. But that chaos also hosts energy, vibrancy and life. Memories of ancient kingdoms remain and can be spotted everywhere, from the centuries-old walls of the old city to the 4th-century monument that is the Arch of Galerius. And then there is the famous White Tower, overlooking the waterfront and plenty of bars to spend your nights in.

"Jameela Jamil, the actress known for her role on The Good Place, called out Emile Hirsch’s past abusive behavior after it was announced that he would be joining the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film about Charles Manson, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.\n\nHirsch attacked Daniele Bernfeld, an executive for the Paramount Pictures, at Sundance in 2015. Bernfeld told the told police that Hirsch put her in a chokehold from behind, dragged her across a table, and body-slammed her to the floor. Bernfeld claimed that he must have acted in self-defense, but he plead guilty to misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to 15 days in prison and 50 hours of community service.\n\nA year later, during an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Hirsch said, \"I'm still just so sorry for what happened and still just shocked even that it happened.” He blamed the assault on his taking a stimulant and drinking for hours on end without eating.",
null,
"Jamil brought attention back to this attack on Twitter where she wrote, “Cool. Emile Hirsch strangled my tiny female best friend until she blacked out at a party in front of dozens of witnesses at Sundance Film Festival (and was convicted) but Tarantino just cast him in a movie.” She added, “INTENSE case of rich white male privilege eh? Cool. Cool. Cool.”",
null,
null,
"Jamil addresses the fact that because Hirsch is wealthy, white, and male, he inherently has a massive amount of privileges in our society that allows them to move through the world unencumbered by their past \"mistakes\" no matter how egregious."

"On the 18th June 2017, it was Fathers’ Day. So we went to Wallingford, Oxfordshire as we often did to mooch about and enjoy the day. We’d talked so many times about moving house, somewhere more rural, somewhere that reflected what we both wanted to do, somewhere a bit more “us”.\n\nFeeling increasingly like we were not where we wanted to be in life, I was driving home when I made the statement – Let’s stop thinking about it, dreaming about it, watching others doing it – let’s bloody well do it. Let’s decide to move here and get it done. It’s simple enough to “just decide” what you want to do or have, though it won’t make anything change. If, however, you get that moment of focus, think on. What is it exactly? We knew that we wanted to live in Wallingford, even if this meant renting.\n\nI have spent the year since that date thinking and making my goal happen. By continually taking little actions towards it. There were a billion obstacles and most of the worst were completely out of my control. But a little over a year later, we moved to Wallingford. We haven’t ended up renting, we have our dream house, but that was a bonus.",

"The first photo above was taken on that Fathers’ Day – day of the goal setting! We have to move house and live here! The second photo was taken approximately a year and three weeks after, on a little evening walk after dinner – 2 minutes from our new house.\n\nIt was a really hard year, full of strain. We couldn’t sell our house, the housing market had completely stalled. No one was even offering, let alone cheeky offers. We came off the market, went on again. We viewed houses, fell in love, made offers, lost a house. Lost a mortgage, nearly didn’t have the funds due to incompetent solicitors. The most stressful part for me was not being settled in time for Hazel to get a school place. I had every faith in “the move” until my precious daughter had her offer of a place at “Dangerous Minds Academy”. But I also had a back up plan.\n\nWithout sounding too preachy and woo – and you’ll have to forgive me – the way I achieved what seemed impossible, was to do something; take a tiny action every single day towards my goal. So this started with the usual de-cluttering (ha! I have clutter?! Actually, yes I did!!) I redecorated and cleaned a lot. We put flowers in the garden and made the junk room less junky. This was the easy bit though. After this was all accomplished, the viewings started and no body returned, it was the daily actions towards my goal that really got me through. I did a variety of things, but it just kept the faith for me. For example, I started to pack things that I wouldn’t need until winter, thinking “I’ll be moved by then”. I did a spread sheet of what the new budget would be, for when we’d moved. I de-cluttered some more. Some days, all I could do was a small step such as cleaning the windows. All the time thinking, “this will get me closer”.\n\nI can’t begin to explain how glad we are that we have moved. I’ll blog more about our house and its refurbishments. But I am so grateful for making that statement and sticking to it. I believe this method can work for many goals in life. Take a little daily action towards whatever it is you are aiming for, keep your focus and don’t be afraid to get there along a different route than you first thought.\n\nAnd if you hadn’t already guessed, my sewing machine and paraphernalia was all packed up about 4 months ago! In my next post, I’ll share MY SEWING ROOM!!",

"Euro 2012 got underway on Friday night with two entertaining games in Group A.\n\nPoland and Greece played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw after an elaborate opening ceremony, with sendings off, missed penalties and a lot of passion on show.\n\nRussia wasted no time in stating their claim to progress from the pool, and an Alan Dzagoev inspired side beat a poor Czech Republic team 4-1.\n\nWith the Group of Death ready to really kick-start the tournament later today, here is the news that Soccerlens has been looking at on Euro 2012 Day 2.\n\nPoland and Greece played out a 1-1 draw in the first game of Euro 2012 in an entertaining and end-to-end game. However, a sub-plot emerged ahead of the game as the Polish coach Franciszek Smuda admitted that key striker Robert Lewandowski could well be on his way to Manchester United after the tournament, along with his fellow Borussia Dortmund stars.",
null,
"“In my opinion, in a moment they will be gone from Borussia Dortmund. Lewy is going to Manchester United, Jakub also somewhere in England, Lukasz Piszczek to Real Madrid. They have a goal and they want to grow. I base the squad on them,” he confessed.\n\nLewandowski showed why the Red Devils have been linked with a move for him by heading home after 17 minutes of tournament action.",
null,
"Despite this, the Dutch trainer feels his side can improve, which will make other nations in the tournament sit up and take note.\n\n“We are quite happy, we scored four goals and in any international game that is a very good result,” Sky Sports report Advocaat as saying after the game.\n\nVan Persie yet to win over the Dutch fans\n\nDespite finishing 2011-12 as the Premier League’s top goalscorer and being a critical part of Arsenal’s third place finish, marksman Robin van Persie still has work to do to win over the Dutch fans.\n\nThe PFA Player of the Year has proved his worth as one of the continent’s most lethal strikers at club level, but accusations have been levelled at the talented forward that he does not replicate this for the Oranje.",
null,
"Van Persie has netted 28 goals in 65 international appearances for Bert van Marwijk’s men, but the challenge has been set in his homeland for the Arsenal man to deliver for the Netherlands this summer.\n\nThe Dutch start their Euro 2012 campaign against Denmark today, and The Telegraph preview a game that could be crucial in shaping a mouth-watering Group B.\n\nSpain midfield general Xavi has admitted that there have been fractures in La Roja’s national squad in the past, with Barcelona and Real Madrid players not seeing eye-to-eye. The Euro 2008 and 2010 World Cup winners have an incredible dearth of talent, but a large portion of it is made up by players from the Clasico rivals.",
null,
"In an interview reported in The Telegraph, the Camp Nou star reveals that Vicente del Bosque and captain Carles Puyol have had to intervene in the past to avoid clashes between international colleagues harbouring club grudges.\n\nWith the likes of Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Xabi Alonso, Andres Iniesta and Xavi himself the core of the Spanish side, it will be interesting to see how the holders start on Sunday against Italy.\n\nThreat of racism very much real\n\nEngland boss Roy Hodgson has admitted that his side may well be subject to racist abuse throughout the tournament, after Uefa confirmed that onlookers made monkey chants towards the Netherlands squad on Thursday.",
null,
"The friends and families of England’s coloured players have stayed away from the competition in Ukraine and Poland due to fears that they may be targeted by narrow-minded fans, and Hodgson has confessed that the unsavoury issue may rear its ugly head again.\n\n“The risk of racism exists and we will probably have to deal with it,” Hodgson acknowledged in The Telegraph.\n\nDespite obvious excitement from everyone involved at the tournament, with Uefa confirming the racist incident aimed at the Dutch squad, the issue threatens to spoil one of international sports’ top competitions.\n\nRonaldo to be team player, not individual\n\nMany are writing Portugal off before a ball is even kicked in Group B, with Germany and Netherlands the favourites to progress to the knockout rounds. Despite this, Paulo Bento’s men have the world’s most expensive player in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks to spearhead the Iberian nation’s attack.",
null,
"CR7 has show his class for Real Madrid over the last two years, scoring 113 goals in 109 appearances since the 2010 World Cup, and the weight of expectation will firmly be on the attacker’s shoulders this summer. Despite this, the Portuguese media are eager for Ronaldo to play as more of a team member, rather than an individual trying to win the game for himself.\n\n“The Portuguese public want to know if Cristiano Ronaldo is, finally, going to perform for the national side. Up to now, he has been more of an individual than a team player,” Vitor Serpa, chief editor at A Bola, told World Soccer.\n\nRonaldo has stated that the team’s goals are more important than individual ambitions, and feels that Portugal can revel in their underdogs tags.\n\n“We are in a very strong group,” Ronaldo concedes in The Guardian.\n\n“Of course we have our own goals in this competition. But the most important thing is the team itself and after that comes the individual players.”\n\nDay Two sees some of the continent’s top teams entering the fray, and if the first day is anything to go by it should be a scintillating evening of football."

"Yemeni Foreign Minister Hisham Sharaf had on Thursday warned of the repercussions of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) providing financial facilities, grants, or any financial support to the Saudi-backed exiled Hadi puppet government, in which corruption is rampant.\n\nThis came in letters sent by Sharaf to Secretary-General of the United Nations, the President of the Security Council, the Special Envoy to Yemen, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the foreign ministers of a number of countries interested in the situation in Yemen.\n\nIn the letters, the Foreign Minister called on all friendly countries and international and regional organisations to intervene with the leadership of the World Bank and IMF in order to create a strong mechanism to supervise and monitor the disbursement of any funds allocated to Yemen.\n\nSharaf affirmed that the Hadi’s government has no influence on the ground and does not take into account humanitarian reasons that may push many countries and international and regional organisations to provide aid and financial facilities to the Yemeni people.”\n\nHe pointed out that these financial aid and facilities will in all probability simply be deposited in personal accounts of individuals or companies affiliated with Hadi’s government.\n\nThe Foreign Minister stressed that neither National Salvation Government in Sana’a, or any future national government that will be formed after the war ends, will accept any responsibility for the loss of IMF or World Bank funds due to corrupt practices perpetrated by the Hadi puppet government.",

"This week, I’m jotting down some rumination on the connection between writing and martial arts, so I don’t have a thesis or a lesson to teach, but the reader can follow my musing toward their own meditation on the topic.\n\nI’m partially inspired by Major Wes who sent me a copy of the book on Kenpo discussed in my post on Japanese Police Bartitsu. The translation includes the original pages, written in Chinese and Japanese as well as copious illustrations. However, I’m not going to talk about the challenges of describing martial arts or other movements in writing or pictures, which is its own topic. I want to explore the practice of writing itself.\n\nThe similarity between calligraphy and martial arts has been noted throughout history in China and Japan.\n\nChinese swordplay is connected to calligraphy in this scene from the beautiful film Hero (2002):\n\nJapanese samurai training included arts as well as combat. Shodo, or the Way of Calligraphy, is one of the arts in traditional Japanese education. Here is a short but very informative article from the Shudokan Martial Arts Association: Budo and the Art of Japanese Calligraphy.\n\nAs the article explains, the artist’s energy is expressed through the brush as a swordsman’s is expressed through the weapon. They are both expressions of the mind and aim towards a perfection of bodily motion, from the grip of an object to the execution of the movement with the necessary flow and speed to achieve the result. One mistake in calligraphy and the scroll must be thrown away; the ink is black and permanent. So too, one mistake in a fight, and the samurai will die.\n\nDiligent practice is required for both fighting and writing. Try to improve your handwriting today. You’ll have to do a little free writing and then look carefully for letters and combinations of letters that are illegible or inelegant. You’ll also find that it is not merely a matter of observing or understanding the fault — instead, it will take a page or more of repeated practice of just that letter to see any improvement. If you don’t pay attention to that letter every day and keep practicing it, it will regress into the habitual way you used to make it. Soon, after diligent practice, you won’t need to think about it any more, as the new lettering will be your natural way of forming the troublesome letter. You may not even notice your improvement, but someone else might compliment you on your handwriting.\n\nWhat are the characteristics of good handwriting?\n\nThink about how your handwriting reflects who you are. Then, apply it to your combat practice in the same way."

"“And what sort of work do you do for my uncle?”\n“I bury the kings opponents where nobody will ever find them.”\n- Page 28\n\nCrowned by Evil.\nBound by Duty.\nDivided by Love.\n\nCelaena Sardothien, royal assassin, is the King of Adarlan’s deadliest weapon. She must win her freedom through his enemies’ blood – but she cannot bear to kill for the crown. And every death Celaena fakes, every lie she tells, put those she loves at risk.\n\nTorn between her two protectors – a captain and a prince – and battling a dark force far greater than the king, Celaena must decide what she will fight for: her liberty, her heart or the fate of a kingdom…\n\nI waited this long to get to book 2 because I was told in 2013 that after being resolved in book 1 the love triangle got WORSE in this one. But I’ve pre-ordered the Mark The Page Tower of Dawn box so I thought it was time to read the series…\nIt was NOT true! The love triangle did not happen! Obviously she’s still attracted to the other guy and misses his friendship but that’s not an issue. Something devastating happens though and I cried. Almost as much as I did for Sam, but for different reasons.\n\nSpeaking of Sam, he’s mentioned far more in this book and I’m so pleased. I loved Sam and I was so sad he wasn’t mentioned in the first book too much. (this adds to my wondering that the novellas were written after the first novel, even though Sarah told us to read them first!) I you haven’t read the novellas, don’t save yourself the heartbreak! They really are good! And not only do you learn who Sam was, but you pick up little bits of information. Some of the “she was once told of this event” moments are from the novellas.\n\nI liked her a lot more in this book. She seemed less annoying by far – but I’m not sure if this is because we learn the why of her. We learn about her past and WHO she is as well as reasons for the way she acts the way she does. Her next step should be something pretty fantastic but she’s still got so much to do.\n\nI still like Chaol most. Poor poor Chaol. He’s going to have to step up his game. The end was a little strange, it kind of just stopped. I guess to mirror how he felt?\nI also feel sorry for Dorian more in this too. I didn’t in the first one, I didn’t like him in the first one. He’s growing on me now. These three just really need to sit down and have a nice long session of spill the beans. Not only would they all feel better, but I’m pretty sure they’ll change the world. Though from what I gather, we need to collect a few more characters first?\n(How long is this series anyway?)\n\nThrone of Glass was the story of an assassin, this is the story of her world and I look forward to what she’s going to do now that she’s accepted who she is and what she needs to do."

"As I reported in a recent post, it is extremely important to fill in the gaps between windows doors and framework of the building to keep out the drafts especially when the east wind blows.\n\nHowever I thought it equally important to fill in some of the gaps I left in my absence from blogging, almost eight months without posting a single update!\n\nFirst a quick recap on what the house looked like in May last year.",

"Functional for a workforce, not so good for a baby, so I spent a little time on our stable accommodation, plaster boarding the ceiling, patching up blown plasterwork from a freezing winter and installing an electric heater. All in all quite habitable during the warm summer months, even for Malina.\n\nOne of the first tasks was to get the final coat of lime render on the walls, having decided to complete downstairs before we moved up a level. This was completed fairly quickly the stud walls for the bathroom and pantry, the only two real rooms, followed fairly rapidly.",

"I did spend a little time of the pantry as I envisaged a curved wall on the leading corner from the main door to draw you into the kitchen area. After experimenting a little I decide to try my luck with reed mats, we still had a few left over that we purchased for bridging gaps on the outside of the building, so it was using up otherwise surplus materials.",

"As you can see it works in a very similar way to the old lath and plaster technique that used to be used before the advent of plaster board. The plaster is squeezed trough the gaps and as it sets grips the mats. I actually used plasterboard on the lower level section to provide a flat surface to make fitting the worktop easier, at least on one wall 🙂\n\nI really like the end result, the bumpy contours flow from the bale walls giving the impression of an internal bale wall, very organic! So much so that I hope to use the same method upstairs in the corridor that connects the bedrooms.\n\n22 thoughts on “Filling in the gaps”"

"A British designer used the unreleased track, \"Stupid Love\", during a NYFW show and, well, we'll let the meme do the talking. (Screen capture via Twitter)\n\nStylish New Yorkers who braved the metro and the cold to make Christian Cowan’s Fall/Winter 2020/21 show on Monday were truly blessed to hear the song in its closing.\n\nAfter a leak of the track radiated around Twitter last month, fans have rallied for the singer to release the “Stupid Love” officially. She even refused to belt the song out at a recent gig, much to fans’ dismay.\n\nThe British designer leapt across the pond, armed with his electric green hair dye, to pursue his fashion career.\n\nGaga emerged as an early supporter of his vivid designs after she stepped out in a fully glitter pink suit of his in 2014. He went onto to dress the likes of Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus and Naomi Campbell.\n\nChristian Cowan: ‘Hope I don’t get in trouble for using “Stupid Love.”‘\n\nFans, however, were not impressed by Cowan’s use of the song, especially as Gaga was an early supporter of the designer, trained at Central Saint Martins, a world-renowned fashion university.\n\nAccording to a screenshot of an exchange with the designer and a friend, Cowan claimed he thought the song had already come out.\n\n“Hope I don’t get in trouble/upset her,” he wrote in an Instagram direct message, “as, obviously, she is my queen.”\n\nStupid love isn’t even out, it was leaked and this designer was not given permission from @ladygaga … and you think she’s not going to be upset you played it in your runway show… the leak was removed and now this is going to go viral! ?? https://t.co/wu7VD9zjBg\n\nWith no official release date pencilled in by Gaga, fans were wearisome about the usage of the song as the “LG6 era has started whether Lady Gaga likes it or not”.\n\nThe LG6 era has started whether @ladygaga likes it or not https://t.co/iTOjvbdh5L"

"The photo was published as part of a 1914 five-volume encyclopedia called “The New Student’s Reference Work.”\n\nCosta Rica (meaning rich coast), a republic of Central America, reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with Nicaragua on the north and Panama on the south. It has an area of 18,400 square miles. Aside from the few Indians, the people are sprung from the Spanish settlers. The country is rich in gold, silver and copper, but its chief trade is in coffee, bananas and bar-gold, and it has been called the Coffee Republic. Costa Rica was discovered by Columbus, and a settlement was founded, probably in 1502, on his fourth voyage. It became free from Spain in 1821, and has had several constitutions, with a president and congress chosen every four years. It is held to be the best governed republic in Central America, though it is in default in meeting the principal and interest of its public debt. Costa Rica has an army of 1,000 men (infantry and artillery) besides 5,000 militia; though on a war-footing the republic can command about 150,000 militia. The state also has one gunboat and one torpedo-boat. In 1909 the value of its exports was $8,176,257; while its imports amounted to $6,109,938. There are 75 post-offices. The railways extend about 300 miles. The bulk of the trade is with the United States, the latter supplying Costa Rica with bread-stuffs and ironwork. The state-church is Roman Catholic. The capital is San José (population, 26,682). The other chief towns are Cartago, Alajuela, Limon, Pun-tarenas and Heredia. Population, 351,176 and about 3,500 aborigines.\n\nSan José is described as such:\n\nSan Jose, the capital since 1823 of Costa Rica, stands in a rich plain, 3,711 feet above the sea. There are many squares and two large parks. The notable buildings are the presidential and national palaces and that of justice, the cathedral, the bishop’s palace, the old university buildings, two colleges and the covered market. The chief factory is the government distillery. A railroad joins the capital to Limon, the Atlantic port. Population 29,660.\n\nAll five volumes are available for free as part of the public domain; this photo was scanned by Wikimedia user Lars Aronsson in 2005."

"“I DON’T HAVE A CLUE”: LOCAL COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT ABOUT PROGRESS ON HMO AND HOSTEL ISSUES\n\nOn a night when weather and a major incident reduced attendance, last Thursday’s Handsworth Wood Ward Forum provided constructive discussion with the police, but also further evidence of a democratic deficit in areas of Handsworth, which leaves it at a serious disadvantage as the Council continues to devolve responsibility to local areas.",
null,
"There had been no Forum meeting in Handsworth Wood for 6 months, but Chair Councillor Gurdial Singh Atwal offered no explanation of this. He couldn’t remember when he had last spoken to his co-councillor Narinder Kaur Kooner, and showed no sign of having made any preparation for the meeting.\n\nResidents said that there didn’t appear to be any carry-over from one meeting to another, for example on gaining representation on a city-wide forum on HMO/hostel issues, so the same discussion happened again and again. Councillor Atwal was asked what the Council was doing on these issues, the major ones for residents over the last 2 years, and he said ‘I don’t have a clue’.\n\nIt must surely be a minimum requirement for the roll-out of the Council’s devolution policy that the councillor network is capable of supporting and promoting it.`One resident had made special efforts to attend a Forum for the first time, but sent us a message afterwards saying:\n\n“I felt the meeting was a waste of my time…Councillor Atwal was completely inefficient, not really interested in residents’ issues leaving all present frustrated…I was very disappointed and won’t be attending any further meetings.”\n\nOur view is that in as far as we have a ‘democratic deficit’ it is all the more important that as many residents as possible attend the ward forum meetings – still the best means of access to those who can influence and change our local services.",
null,
"1. Dangerous driving and parking: a resident described a recent high speed collision with the wall outside her house on Church Lane (picture left is of another wall nearby which suffered the same fate). She also described an earlier ‘write-off’ of the family’s car, and said both incidents were examples of the unnaceptable driving speeds on that road and many others in the area.\n\nSeveral people raised concerns about the parking outside Handsworth Wood Girls Academy at the start and end of the school day. When the picture below was taken half the cars also had their engines running for up to 20 minutes.\n\nSgt. Dom McGrath said he would take action on three fronts: he would have a discussion with the Head of the Girls’ School about writing a letter to all",
null,
"Sgt. McGrath was initially doubtful about his team’s ability to address parking outside other schools which posed a threat to both safety and health, but then seemed to come round to the view that they could do more on this, and that he would be looking at repeating his discussion with the Girls’ Academy Head at other schools.\n\nCouncillor Atwal asked if the police could produce a short film on parking for the public which could be used at parents’ evenings etc, and Sgt. McGrath seemed to be considering this.",
null,
"2. HMO’s/Supported Housing: the police have been working closely with Handsworth Wood Residents’ Association on properties in Cornwall Road and Wheaton Vale where there has been anti-social behaviour allied to alcohol and other drug use. Sgt. McGrath suggested there were two options from here:\n\na. collate all the complaints then call the owners in, set out what is required of them, and issue a first warning letter. If there is no improvement, a second letter will be issued. The third stage involves a closure order, but is hard to achieve due to the consistency of information required over an extended period.\n\nb. the residents association provide a letter summarising the complaints, and the police invite the owners to meet with the residents to discuss these and",
null,
"what can done about them. This has been found to be quite a ‘powerful’ tool in the past, even though the owners’ involvement is voluntary. If it gets nowhere it provides further evidence in a legal approach.\n\nAlthough next steps weren’t pinned down at the meeting, it seems the Residents’ Association need to let Sgt. McGrath know which route they prefer.\n\n3. 20 mph speed limit: not strictly a police issue at this stage, but linked to the road safety discussion. Residents wanted to know what progress there was on extending 20mph limits to this area. Lesley Bannister said she would enquire about inviting the Senior Highways Engineer to the March meeting, and also ask him to provide feedback on the evaluation of the impacts of the reduced speed limit in the South and East of the city. A petition may be considered in the future.\n\n4. Crime stats: there has been a dramatic reduction in the number of burglaries. In the last 6 weeks there have been 4 burglaries, compared to the same period last year when there were between 30 and 40. In the last year 12 prolific burglars have been arrested, and most of these have been sentenced to 3 years or more in prison.\n\n5. Police sugeries: the next police surgery, where anyone can come and discuss a concern, is at Uplands Allotments on 30th November between 10am and 2pm.\n\n6. Neighbourhood Tasking Group meetings: designed as an opportunity for local agencies, including the police, to come together with councillors and resident representatives, summarise current issues for the local area, and decide who is best placed to take action on each issue. Sgt. McGrath said that no Handsworth Wood councillors had attended the last 2 meetings. There is some difficulty with the Handsworth Wood police area also including some of Handsworth ward, but there is less of an issue for Handsworth Wood than other wards.\n\n6. All Out Day 22nd November: we are awaiting further information from the police.\n\n1. HMO’s/Supported Housing/Planning: as well as the aspiration to have meaningful involvement in planning and other issues re. HMO’s (one element of the Ward Plan is ‘Debate – being involved in policy making’), residents said they wanted to see increased clarity and control in supported housing. They are aware of the exploitation of Housing Benefit and support funding by unscrupulous ‘providers’ who fail to provide support, and see the results every day on the street.",
null,
"Councillor Atwal seemed unaware of these issues, and the levels of payment which have several times been confirmed by the Council’s officers (Matt Smith at the 20.9.18. Ward Forum described the situation as ‘a runaway train’). He asked for someone to provide him with one example in the ward so he could deal with it. It was suggested he speak to PCSO Sam Shaw who has been wrestling with the issues for months, for example in Endwood Court Road.\n\nCouncillor Kooner has asked for the Private Rented Team to present their ‘roadshow’ at the January meeting. This was welcomed, but the request made that as well as presenting information there be the time and capacity to discuss how residents are going to be more involved in planning decisions and policy making, and real insight provided into what the Council is doing to produce change at a national level in the way supported housing is regulated.\n\n2. Leaves: the combination of wetness and fallen leaves has made pavements dangerous. Residents sought clarification of the Council policy on clearing leaves – some had been told that they would only be cleared once, and that any additional clearances would have to be done by residents. There is concern about safety, and liability if for example an older person is injured. Councillor Atwal said he would check on the policy and talk to the Cabinet member about it.\n\n3. Clinical Commissioning Group: at present we are part of the Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG (the group which purchases the majority our community and hospital health care), but there is now discussion about amalgamating with Birmingham and Solihull CCG to produce a single organisation. The CCG is looking for opportunities to discuss the effects of this change with as many ‘stakeholders’ as possible. It was suggested that they be invited to a Ward Forum as early as possible in 2019.\n\nDate of next meeting: to be confirmed (priority items will be the Ward Plan and HMO’s/Supported Housing).\n\n9 Responses to “I DON’T HAVE A CLUE”: LOCAL COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT ABOUT PROGRESS ON HMO AND HOSTEL ISSUES"

Polk is the Mississippi Society Daughters of the American Revolution first vice regent and Hic-A-Sha-Ba-Ha Chapter delegate. Grimes is the National Society DAR past vice president general and Mississippi Society honorary state regent. Photo by: Courtesy photo\n\nHellen Polk of Starkville spent the days just before July 4 last month immersed in patriotism in Washington, D.C. She represented the Starkville-based Hic-A-Sha-Ba-Ha Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as the Mississippi State Society DAR at the 126th national Continental Congress. Polk was among more than 3,500 DAR members from across the country at the week-long congress that included keynote speaker retired NASA Flight Director Eugene Kranz.\n\n“When you go to the Continental Congress, you are with women from diverse backgrounds, from age 18 to in their 90s, who all share the same interest in ‘God, Home and Country’ — the DAR motto,” said Polk. “We’re all so different, but that is what holds us together, that and the service that our ancestors provided to our country.”\n\nThe national meeting of members has been a time-honored tradition since the organization was founded in 1890. This was Polk’s fourth time to attend.\n\nThe convention’s opening night put a spotlight on the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026 and the leading role DAR will play in preparations. DAR Honorary President Gen. Lynn Forney Young was recently appointed to the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission. The DAR also announced the first major, patriotic investment in the commemoration — a donation to Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of 76 trees planted in honor of the Spirit of ’76 that inspired the colonists to declare their independence.\n\nIn a week of business sessions, committee meetings and award presentations, there is also ceremony.\n\n“It’s such a patriotic event,” said Polk, citing highlights that included military bands. “The Marine Band, the Army Band, the Air Force Band … they played several nights as people are getting in, and that in itself is fantastic. There’s a lot of pomp and circumstance and flags coming in. … It’s just a moving experience to be with that many women who are leaders and who are service oriented.”\n\nIn a press release, DAR President Gen. Ann T. Dillon remarked, “We are grateful for the opportunity to reflect on the hard work and accomplishments of the past year, including the donation of hundreds of thousands of dollars to preservation, education and patriotic endeavors and the contribution of millions of hours of volunteer service in our communities. … The energy that results from more than 3,500 dedicated DAR members gathering in one place never fails to produce inspiration, creative breakthroughs and true camaraderie.”\n\nDAR members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. It is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations."

"A July sunset from the Sea Walk “spur” on Crescent Harbor. The city’s insurer requires a guardrail to be built here. (KCAW photo/Shaleece Haas)\n\nIf the dream of bulk water sales in Sitka ever becomes a reality, the city will be ready.\n\nThe Sitka assembly last night (Tue 7-8-14) revised the way revenues from water sales will be handled, in order to avoid flooding any single department with money.\n\nThe water ordinance, a guard rail along the sea walk, and floathouses were the highlights of an unusually speedy assembly meeting.\n\nSitka hasn’t sold any bulk water from Blue Lake yet, but the price it charges for the exclusive rights to buy that water is getting pretty steep. Since 2006, when it signed a 20-year agreement with True Alaska Bottling, Sitka has received two payments of $100,000, one payment of $150,000, and most recently, a payment of $1-million.\n\nUntil that $1-million rolled in, the allocation of water revenues was straightforward: half for the general fund, and a quarter each for the water and electric funds.\n\nThe new language deposits all the money from water sales and contracts into a single account — which would then reimburse expenses of any fund which incurred costs related to producing those sales.\n\nAdministrator Mark Gorman said it was a precaution against the day when — and if — the real money ever came in.\n\n“If we hit paydirt on water sales, this ordinance will be reviewed again. It just to set in place a template that we can move forward on. But if we start pumping $90-million of water a year, we’ll probably be looking at these ordinances again.”\n\nBut assembly member Phyllis Hackett wasn’t so sure. In past assembly meetings, whenever the discussion turned to the prospect of water sales, a discussion of the challenges in “managing success” usually followed.\n\n“All of the sudden when there’s lots of money coming into departments, it gets really difficult to change.”\n\nThe city’s chief administrative officer, Jay Sweeney, assured assembly members that — should substantial amounts of money start to flow from water sales — the new structure created a “protection mechanism” to keep potentially millions of dollars being diverted into the water or electric funds. He suggested that it would be easier to reimburse those departments for their expenses, than it would be to extract money that had already been allocated.\n\nThey spent $57,000 to have CBC Construction install a guardrail on the yellow cedar boardwalk along the top of the Crescent Harbor breakwater, with $40,000 of that funding coming from the cruise passenger head tax.\n\nIt’s officially known as the Sea Walk “spur,” and Sitka’s insurance company objects to the absence of a guardrail, even though one is not required by law.\n\nDeputy Mayor Matt Hunter was ready to bite the bullet.\n\n“Well I was one of the members who definitely wished we didn’t have to do this. The insurance company makes it clear that it’s a strong recommendation. And I appreciate staff coming up with a design that saves quite a bit of money.”\n\nThe guardrail will have a yellow cedar top rail, like other portions of the sea walk that has rails, and a single stainless steel cable at mid-height. Other designs came close to $200,000 in cost.\n\nThe only alternative to not having a guardrail would be to add gravel fill along either side of the boardwalk, and top it with soil and plantings of some kind, to soften a potential fall. That option was also ruled out.\n\nIn addition to the guardrail, Sitka’s insurer, Alaska National, will require a “Pedestrians Only” sign at the head of the walk.\n\nIn addition to the guard rail, the assembly spent $165,000 to replace the floatation under fingers 5 and 6 of Eliason Harbor. These are the two outermost fingers where most transients tie up. The fingers have settled somewhat. The sole-source contract was awarded on an emergency basis to WS Construction, the only local business which provides this kind of work.\n\nHaving shipshape harbors will be important when houses move in. The assembly last night adopted two ordinances creating a regulatory structure for floathouses in Sitka’s harbors. But they can’t be any old thing that floats: the new regs actually require that the floathouses’ architecture complement the harbors. That means, among other things, pitched gable roofs, and lap or shingle siding.\n\nAssembly member Phyllis Hackett thought some of this language was too restrictive, and she proposed an amendment:\n\nThe architecture of the structure must have the intent of enhancing the aesthetics of the harbor environment, while being in compliance with the building safety code. In keeping with this intent, architectural deviations from this intent from Section 13.15.03.0b must be approved by an ad-hoc committee appointed by the administrator.\n\nThe ad-hoc architectural committee will be populated by one member each from the Port and Harbors Commission, the Planning Commission, a public works staff member, one planning department member, and one member at large. Hackett’s amendment does not require that any architects sit on the committee.\n\nThe amendment and ordinance both passed unanimously. The administration hopes that the introduction of floathouses will help ease the affordable housing crunch in Sitka.\n\nAnd while it’s not a house, it floats. Sitka administrator Mark Gorman said the city had just taken delivery of a 32-foot long fish waste scow, paid for by grant funding. He invited everyone to stop by the harbor sometime and take a look at the new boat."

"Food and wine matching is nothing new, but organisers of next month’s Great Australian Beer Festival are hoping to showcase how food and beer can also be perfect partners on the palate.\n\nThe Goods Shed in Wodonga will team up with craft beer blogger and ambassador Pete Mitcham (aka Professor Pilsner), for a degustation dinner to launch the Festival.\n\n“What I love about beer degustation dinners, is that everyone knows and understands how a wine dinner works, but nobody really gets how beer dinners work,” Pete said.\n\n“The mechanics are the same, but we’ll have five courses, nine beers and a cider. We’ll do an introduction to beer and chat informally with the brewers about their passion and what got them involved.\n\n“My job is to demystify beer, and as a beer advocate, to encourage people to get the beer out of the esky and onto the dinner table where it belongs.”",
null,
"While matching food and beer may seem an unusual concept, Pete argues that beer should take pride of place.\n\n“There’s something like three-and-a-half thousand different possible compounds that give wine flavour, aroma and taste – beer has almost twice that many,” Pete said.\n\n“People don’t realise that there’s so much more that beer can bring to the food matching side of things, and the big one for me is texture.\n\n“The fact beer is carbonated adds a whole new dimension to the dining experience – kind of like seasoning to a chef – it can enliven a meal and also act as a palate cleansing element.”\n\nWhile the bulk of the dinner menu is being kept under wraps, there is a dessert option that Pete believes will alter perceptions and offer a unique flavour hit.\n\n“We’ve got our hands on a very limited edition special beer that’s being used in the making of ice cream by Monumental Ice Cream.”\n\nWhile the major focus of the beer festival is in Albury on Saturday 2 December, organisers are determined to celebrate the wider region as a craft beer hub.",
null,
"“The festival may be physically in QEII square and the degustation dinner just across the river in Wodonga, but what we’re about is having a festival that the Border region can call its own,” Pete said.\n\n“You’ve got the pristine waters of the Alpine region that brewers in other localities would kill for, and some of the most prized hops from one of the best hop growing regions in the world.\n\n“This event is about showcasing everything that’s good about us as a region, rather than a postcode.”\n\nFor more information and tickets to the Great Australian Beer Festival: https://www.gabfalbury.com.au/"

"Every day of “Agency Life” is different. You can find yourself on any given Tuesday standing on your feet for 15 hours shooting a television spot, and no less than 12 hours later you’re right back behind a computer on conference calls. No matter the situation, we’ve learned a few things about ourselves, our clients, and what brings the most success—especially given the year that was 2020.\n\nWe’ve all been in enough meetings to know that not all jokes are created equal, and not all situations are suited for levity. Ensure your words are intentional and listen with the same intent. You never know when that random, off-the-cuff factoid about your client’s favorite sitcom will come in handy.\n\nCreatives are the lifeblood of advertising and marketing. No matter what they need to properly execute a project—make sure they have it. Whether that’s reference materials, two briefs, or a Red Bull, making sure they’re set up for success is pivotal.\n\nWhile creatives are the lifeblood, accounts sell the idea. Make sure that no matter the time or place, they’re armed with the reasoning and support needed to make an idea come to life. If they’re not prepared, the idea could be dead in the water.\n\nCommunal speakers rarely go well. Some people like country and hip-hop, while others like Swedish metal and deep house. Make sure that whatever’s playing on your system isn’t distracting and can blend seamlessly into the background. We’ve often found that lo-fi ambient music during a brainstorm or client meeting can help break the ice.\n\nLet’s be honest—most plans aren’t perfect. But having a plan means you’ve at least thought about what goes into bring something to fruition. Make sure you’ve thought about the needed infrastructure, support, and resources for your objectives—and more importantly, make sure you can reference them quickly. Small details are easily forgotten, and anything to help you remember each one of them can make all the difference in the long run.\n\nVideo calls have been incredibly beneficial—especially when you need some human interaction. However, waiting for non-verbal queues when on a slightly delayed video conference can throw off your rhythm. If you’re leading the conversation, minimize the window and listen intently to your crowd. Your rapid responses will help keep things feeling as normal as possible.\n\nFor most people, lunch is a needed break in the middle of the day. We all know that going out for lunch when you’re at the office is great, but isn’t there something special about curling up on your own couch in the middle of a workday? Respect people’s breaks and let them recharge for an even more successful afternoon.\n\nWhen the Bills win, so does your team. Make sure to celebrate Victory Monday with a cup of coffee and a bagel. And encourage your team to use their added energy to tackle the one task they didn’t have enough left in the tank for the previous Friday.\n\nThere’s a common misconception that team bonding needs to happen in-person. With the pandemic still in full swing—take advantage of digital tools and games that let people feel a sense of normalcy. Even if it’s just a happy hour, that 30 minutes of relaxation goes a long way.\n\nThe attention span of most working adults stops when double digits appear in an article. Cut it off while you still have people’s attention, and always leave them wanting more. If you’re still reading this—kudos!",

"In the Press: Texting while Driving",

"I was quoted in an article about the dangers of texting while driving in the September issue of Scholastic Action, a magazine for teens. Back in the mid-90s, I worked for a government contractor in the area of Human Factors psychology, studying issues of driver distraction. This was before today’s era of widespread text messaging. At the time, the main concerns were around the distracting effects of cellphone use and early forms of navigation systems.\n\nIn 2008, almost 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured in crashes related to driver distraction. Texting is a big distraction. “It’s like driving blindfolded,” says Dr. Geoffrey Steinberg, a psychologist who studies driver distraction. He says texting is especially dangerous for teens. Because teens are newer at driving, they need to be extra careful.\n\nToday in my clinical practice, I often see how pressured adults feel to check and re-check text messages, and how emotionally fraught the experience of receiving (or not receiving) a message can be. I often try to help clients tolerate the distress of waiting. Perhaps there is a merit to a well considered reply, and perhaps even more satisfying to speak in person. The challenge often seems to involve holding on to an internal sense of constancy in a significant relationship, in the absence of repeated reassurance through the phone.\n\nAs emotionally intense as compulsive text checking can be while stationary, this is potentially lethal at 65 mph: In five seconds of texting, a distance of 440 feet is travelled blindly. Can we adults take a lesson from 18-year old Madison in the article and, for the duration of a drive, turn the phone off? Perhaps I can extend that challenge to pedestrians stepping off curbs here in NYC.\n\nTags: media\nFrom: In The Press, Opinion\n← New Office Location after Labor Day\nConference: Dating, Mating, & Procreating →\nNo comments yet"

"Syrian ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abedl-Karim Ali says Syria will achieve victory despite what it lost from great martyrs who embodied chivalry and Arabism.\n\nWhite House intensified plans for a military strike against Syria over conflicting reports of an alleged chemical attack near Syrian capital on August 21.\n\nSyria, however, has categorically denied the US claims, saying it has evidence that foreign-backed terrorists carried out the attack to open the way for their American supporters to attack Syria.\n\nAli said that the possible attack against his country is not aimed at toppling the Syrian government only “but at dismantling of the region and maintaining the security of Israel after the barrier of fear of Tel Aviv was broken in July 2006 war,” in reference to the 33-day conflict between Lebanon’s Islamic Movement Hezbollah and the Zionist regime.\n\nHe said that “Arab backwardness, the colonial American West and global Zionism are partners in launching the aggression against Syria.”\n\n“Despite all, Syria today is more solid than it was two and a half years ago and the Syrian Army has proved to the world that it is steady and strong,” he said."

"As the holiday season approaches its peak and minds rush to conjure up the ideal gifts, we here at HotHardware have taken the liberty of creating three ideal system configurations to illustrate the best way to spend your holiday budget.",
null,
"Although we are confident in the performance offered by each system listed in this guide, we are in no way trying to say that the budget system will compete with the flagship configuration where money is no object. However to many, the performance offered by the budget system will be surprisingly high despite the reasonable price-tag. Admittedly, we even shocked ourselves when we realized the level of performance which could be purchased for under $1,000.\n\nFor those who want a convenient combination of economical prices with stellar performance, we introduce a third system configuration which is created with a focus on overclocking. For those who are willing to spend a few minutes in the system BIOS, nearly flagship-level performance of systems costing thousands more can be had for free with a few quick keystrokes. Overall, there is a system configuration for nearly every need within this buyer's guide.\n\nThe flagship system represents the fastest possible hardware configuration money can buy today. Although there are certainly several variations of the final configuration which could include more exotic cooling solutions, more RAID arrays, and various additional hardware, the core components listed in this guide are the ideal foundation for a dream system. Granted, this type of hardware certainly does not come cheap. However, when you demand the ultimate performance and have the funds to afford it, you should not accept any substitutes.\n\nFor those adventurous enough to dabble with overclocking, we have a system configuration which will offer nearly the performance of the flagship system but at a fraction of the price. Enthusiast-class hardware typically has some amount of overclocking headroom built-in, where frequencies can be safely raised beyond stock reference speeds without issue. The components selected for this particular configuration have been picked for their well known ability to overclock well beyond their stock specifications. As a result, the performance witnessed after initial tweaking can be significantly higher than the performance seen from the stock frequencies. The beauty of this configuration is that this exponential leap in performance is available basically free of charge thanks to a few BIOS settings and a bit of patience.",
null,
"Although we all love to drool over the latest enthusiast hardware, few of us can easily afford or justify the lofty costs which are commonly associated with these products. As such, we have opted to create the fastest possible system for under $1,000 to reflect a much more realistic budget. Although comparatively inexpensive, this system is easily able to play any game currently on the market and can run nearly any application with ease. Should users be ambitious enough, the system can also be overclocked to offer even higher levels of performance. Suffice to say, many would be shocked at what kind of performance levels can be had for under a grand these days."

"Residents of a Cambridgeshire village home to a 'busway graffiti granny', has been voted one of the best in Britain.\n\nHiston and Impington was one of five semi finalists up for Channel 4's Village of the Year award.\n\nThe village beat 20 others shortlisted in the central region and has a chance of securing a £10,000 prize.\n\nThe programme, hosted by national treasure Penelope Keith, praised the village as a 'vibrant, forward thinking' community which 'brings everyone together, both young and old'.\n\nIt was praised for its community orchard, food festival, all-girls football team and graffiti project.\n\nWhat the locals think of the accolade\n\nWe caught up with one of the residents featured in the programme as it was due to be aired.\n\nLocal shop keeper and mum Sue Saini met the Channel 4 film crew at the Histon and Impington Feast festival last summer as she was busy selling samosas and curries to raise money for cancer research.\n\nPenelope Keith described the combination of East meets West with Indian street food in a village in Cambridgeshire as 'delicious'.\n\nSue, who has been running newsagent and grocers Station Stores for 20 years with husband Surinder, said the programme has been \"a real boost for the village\".\n\nShe said: \"We have six pubs, local shops and quaint businesses that have developed around village life.\n\n\"We deliver free of charge to elderly people. We stock bread from local bakers - our homemade nans, curries and samosas sell out everyday. They are very popular.\"\n\nAnother Impington resident told the News she thought the accolade was \"fabulous\".\n\n\"The village caters for everyone young and old,\" she said. \"There is a great sense of togetherness.\"\n\nWhat the judges said\n\nThe judges described the village as a 'vibrant, forward-looking community'.\n\nSingled out for praise was its community orchard project, a voluntary project on disused railway land, created to encourage greater community involvement.\n\nThe village has two of its own varieties which hark back to the old apple industry - the Chivers Delight and the Histon Favourite.\n\nMeanwhile the graffiti project has spawned a local celebrity in Moira, better known as the 'graffiti granny'.\n\nShe has been working with local graffiti artist Kilo to shake up the look of the busway which runs on the old railway line through the village.\n\nSpeaking on the show, Moira told Penelope Keith: \"I didn't know I wanted to be a graffiti artist until a few weeks ago when they started this bridge project.\n\n\"I think all through your life it is important to keep doing new things. I [usually] make patchwork quilts.\n\nKilo, who set up the project with the permission of the parish council, described Moira as \"a natural.\"\n\nThe judges said: \"Everything they do from the orchards to the graffiti is about interesting connections and that came across strongly.\"\n\nTo find out how Histon and Impington got on in the programme, visit the Channel 4 website here."

"If long-term missions to space or even new worlds are to have any chance of success, astronauts will likely need to learn to grow their own food.\n\nThat means developing a space version of agriculture. Now, scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the biotech company Pheronym brought the idea one step closer to reality with the discovery that roundworms are just as good at gobbling up pest insects up in space as they are down here, giving future astronauts a new way to protect their crops.\n\nScientists weren’t sure how well the parasitic roundworms — formally called nematodes — would fare in a microgravity environment. But when they sent them to the International Space Station, the worms were able to survive as well as infect and kill pest insects that might threaten crops much as they do on Earth, according to research published in the journal npj Microgravity.\n\nInterestingly, the worms seemed to adapt to space early in their life cycle. Worms that were born on Earth were able to return home, but worms that were hatched and raised entirely in space died upon re-entry.\n\nIt takes more than worms to build a functional space farm, but the discovery that nematodes can adapt to the challenges of life beyond Earth is an encouraging sign for the future of space travel.\n\n“As we look into a future when crops will be grown in space, we expect that beneficial nematodes will offer one-of-a-kind opportunities to establish agriculture for long-term space exploration,” Agricultural Research service entomologist and project co-director David Shapiro-Ilan said in a press release.\n\nMore on space farming: New Research: You Could Grow Crops in Martian Soil"

"Is Costa Rica the centre of the emerging ‘West’?\n\nJoseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, called it first. Mid-May, he wrote about how tiny Costa Rica has “become a world leader in developing holistic policies that promote democratic, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth”. Though Professor Stiglitz didn’t describe Costa Rica as the centre of the ‘free world’ and the aspirational ‘shining city on the hill’ that once was the United States, he came close: “With authoritarianism and proto-fascism on the rise in so many corners of the world, it is heartening to see a country where citizens are still deeply committed to democratic principles,” the Professor wrote.\n\nHe went on to extol the benefits that have accrued to Costa Rica, which has fewer than five million people, from “its progressive leadership”.\n\nThis has been legendary.\n\n** In 1948, the President José Figueres Ferrer abolished the military.\n\n** For the past 70 years, “Costa Rica has made itself a centre for the study of conflict resolution and prevention, hosting the United Nations-mandated University for Peace”.\n\n** It has taken the lead on environmental issues by pursuing reforestation, designating a third of the country protected natural reserves, and deriving almost all of its electricity from clean hydro power.\n\n** And it is part of a small group, the so-called Wellbeing Alliance. The group, writes Professor Stiglitz, “is implementing ideas, highlighted by the International Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress, for constructing better welfare metrics. Recognizing the shortcomings of GDP that the Commission emphasized, the Alliance seeks to ensure that public policy advances citizens’ wellbeing in the broadest sense, by promoting democracy, sustainability, and inclusive growth.”\n\nCosta Rica’s dedication to good ideas and good leaders who can help deliver continues. As the Professor points out, “In the recent presidential election, a large turnout carried Carlos Alvarado Quesada to victory with more than 60% of the vote, against an opponent who would have rolled back longstanding commitments to human rights by restricting gay marriage.”\n\nThe consequences of the way Costa Ricans have chosen to live is apparent. Their free public health-care and education systems are exceedingly good. This has meant that life expectancy in Costa Rica is now higher than in the United States, and is increasing.\n\nBut the usual problems exist as well – the public purse and politics. The first may be easier to fix. What of the second? Can Costa Rican politicians overcome the selfish short-termism that clouds a shared national vision for their country? This is a question that might be asked of many countries in many parts of the world. Few offer such promising answers as Costa Rica.\n\nIts new president is trying hard to tweak the political model without changing the constitution. He is looking to a unity-government of sorts by recruiting his cabinet from different political parties. This may work and Costa Rica’s peaceful progressive transition to the future may continue. If so, it would, as Professor Stiglitz writes, “be a beacon of hope for the future, showing that another world is possible, one where Enlightenment values – reason, rational discourse, science, and freedom – flourish, to the benefit of all.”\n\nCosta Rica can already be dubbed the centre of the ‘emerging West’, that notional point on a hypothetical map, which has nothing to do with geography.",

"Just doing this will not stop you from being successful",

"In a nutshell, if one reads these 14 steps accurately then one can be sure of its success.",
null,
"Step - 1 [Make a Target in Life]\nMake any single goal or target in life. If you create a target, you will know which direction to go. Otherwise life will be like a lamb in a flock. Not only is it important to create a larger target in life, you can also create a smaller target (6 years, 6 months, or 6 weeks). Completing a small target will give you the confidence to complete the big target.\n\nToday's youth does not have a specific target, the same is the problem of today's youth. If you ask for 5% of people today, only 3% of those people are able to speak their target objectively and even 5% of them may be living out their target lifestyle.\n\nStep - 2 [Confidence]\nEvery human being must have faith and faith in himself to succeed. But in the present times this is the opposite. Every student here is also requesting God after the exam that God should pass. The graduate student is also praying that God may provide a good job. What does this situation imply? Lack of confidence.\n\nMan's entire power lies within him. Man just needs to look at it with a sense of confidence. Napoleon Hill writes something about confidence. \"Believe in yourself to do something great. You can force others to believe in you by believing in yourself. ”Be confident that you are the most important person in the world. The flow of immense power flows within you. Within you lies all the latent forces that make you successful and yours\n\n\nSome examples of confidence.\nNow you have to ask what do you want? Why don't you decide, and then get out and take it. - Napoleon Hill.",
null,
"Today's young people are lacking in self-reliance. Talking to elders, find your clothes, organize your books, sit down and eat time and again. It is a mistake to hope for success as long as the common man is not confident in himself and self-reliant on his work.\n\nIt is said in \"The SECRET BOOK\" that when you ask for something, you demand the inner mind and the outside mind. The whole universe pulls that thing towards you. That's why success is such an important part of life\n\nEnthusiasm makes your work just as light as a feather flying in the air. And relieves fatigue, frustration, or sluggishness.\n\nIf you dislike your work, it will be heavy on you, but if you show enthusiasm in your work, you will become a master of it. Whether your job is a government job, a private job, a small shop, a big company or even a tea lorry.\n\nIf you put the time and energy into your work with enthusiasm, your work will become a video you like. For example, many examples can be taken, but if we talk about common man onijs, in Gujarat, many tea-makers, nephews, even small ones, have a higher income than those who do a good job and live a good life in a car, a good home and society. Passes…\n\nIt is not their success, but the journey from where they started to succeeding is exciting.\n\nThis enthusiasm might be waking up early in the morning, giving the customer the best service possible, maybe even having a little pride of being ahead of his competitors.\n\nIf there is any area of life to be proficient in, then enthusiasm also requires that as many souls as are necessary and confident.",
null,
"Step - 5 [Action]\nHere action is a work which is a work that is done on a continuous basis, with infinite passion and hard work. All great things are easily accomplished - what counts is years of preparation, hours and moments. Thomas Alva Edison took 5 minutes to prove the value of the light from the fire, but he spent his entire life in search of the best filament.\n\nThe Way to Success The Way to Conflict When this conflict is small, complete it with full attention. When the moment of success comes, you will be ready. And then you will have the invaluable legacy of the struggle and the confluence of success.\n\nYou will find many obstacles throughout the course of life - frequent failures will try to give you a glimpse, but remember that whatever obstacles you go through and get out of them are the result of numerous actions you take. We understand the true significance of the action taken.\n\nStep - 6 [automation]\nBy this sign Napoleon Hill says that man's control over himself transcends all plans. A successful man may have succeeded in five years of his life or succeeded in six years, but he may have succeeded at the very foundation of certain self-control. So how is it that any man can bring self-control? In today's modern age, the kind of person who can control himself is rarely seen.\n\nNowadays, a person chooses not to eat junk food or fast food, but he gets off the road due to lack of self control.\n\nSelf-control is also essential for success, because success is sometimes required before success, but it is important to recognize that failure.\n\nNapoleon Hill says that just like a horse is trained to move, a common man has to teach his mind and body to move.\n\nMoreover, I have never won anything without my hard work and my best decision exercise and special planning work. Self-control is essential to success and a successful life.",
null,
"Step - 7 [Work out of a salary]\nNowadays the question to all employers or youths is the question, “How much is your celery? How much salary do you have in your hands? \"\n\nEmployers also often ask the same question to some other colleagues. An even more important question than this question is, how much time do you devote to the work you do? Do you really do your work with enthusiasm or hard work? Do you really like your work?\n\nWell, no one is asking such questions as everyone is interested in their own salary. This does not mean that you are not interested in salary, nor desire for proper celery, but if celery matters and you take the attitude that my work is the best, not only celery will increase your confidence, experience and your mind.\n\nA simple yet clean wardrobe, properly cleaned boots, simple yet timely watches, a simple mobile conversation and inexpensive pen in your pocket are perfect for your outdoor personality. If you want to make your personality aromatic, then sprinkling a few aromas of perfume will also require the aroma of your inner self, confidence, strong morale, strong body and reading speech.\n\nStep - 9 [Get accurate.]\nThe right idea is to shape your future destiny. Unless you adopt accurate thinking into life, you cannot improve your standard of living.\n\nAll the discoveries in the world are often unsuccessful at the beginning, but with the inventor having an accurate idea behind it, the quest is successful. All the big businesses in the world are also the result of accurate thinking. Whether it is Reliance, Tata, Adani, Wipro or Infosys. Even if a man is not accurate in his opinion, his words do not reach the person in front.\n\nSo be a good thinker, if not today you will succeed tomorrow.\n\nStep-10- [Concentration]\nThe only concern of today's parents, teachers and elders is that students are not maintaining concentration. He does not concentrate on studying, but yes, he is concentrated on mobile or social media. This question is not only of the students but also of the youth, maids and business class.\n\nDo not expect to be adept at concentration the first time you try it. First, learn to concentrate on the small things you do, such as cutting a pencil, wrapping a packet in paper, writing the address on a letter, etc. This wonderful art of perfecting what you have started is a way to bring perfection, to make it a habit to combine it with everything you do, no matter how small it may be. The first thing you will know is that this will become a regular habit and you will do it automatically without any effort. The importance of such small habits lies between success and failure.\n\nConcentration is of utmost importance in this step of success as without concentration one cannot take any action or decision properly.\n\nIf today's young people plan to do any work with conviction, they will surely get success tomorrow, if not today.\n\nStep - 12 - [Learning from failure.]\nIt is said that a success comes from going through a hundred failures, yes, that does not mean that every time you get success after a hundred failures, you have to face failure while success, but remember that no failure is permanent but every failure has to go through. We have to find a way. In this way we can also use failure as a weapon of success.\n\nThus, failure is a process that brings out the true nature of human beings. It reveals what nature really is. \"Don't hate failure. Thank God for giving you the right to test you under their weight.\n\nStep - 13 - [Tolerance]\nThis is a strength that can be changed many times in the world if used properly. Remove an unborn child from his / her parents immediately after his birth and raise him / her in a modern environment in a cultured environment.\n\nOne thing to remember is that it is best not to condemn something that you have not examined enough. Because this habit is the conclusion of a brain that is uneven and ruled by the eastern planet.\n\nIf you do not have to condemn those who do not like you, be careful not to read your complaint but write them down and write them in a place that can be taken as soon as the situation gets better.\n\nStep - 14 - [Applying the Golden Rule]\nThe Golden Rule is the thing by which to adjust the next 5 steps and observe it in life, with the power and achievement of it and move forward in life. A person can take the next 5 steps under his control, but if he fails to guide his efforts by step 1, he cannot achieve lasting success."

"Microsoft Windows on a Google Chromebook Hosted at Amazon\n\nMy experiment shows how quickly a Windows desktop can be built on Amazon Web Services, and the usability of running Windows on a Google Chromebook.\n\nChromebooks as a viable end point device? Why not?\n\nOne of the very interesting developments that I’m closely tracking is the use of Google Chromebooks in the enterprise. Google has nice traction and use cases in the education market, but it’s the potential growth in the enterprise that intrigues me, since the Chromebook could stand to be very disruptive alongside other laptop OEMs and could be the exact onramp that Google needs into the business environment.",
null,
"So, here’s the $64 million dollar question: how can business use a Chromebook while still maintaining access to Windows based applications?\n\nTo quench my curiosity, I went ahead and performed a little experiment. The first step — spin up a Windows workspace on Amazon. This process is extremely simple using the Amazon Workspaces service and, with a few clicks, I had created a basic Windows desktop complete with a number of Microsoft Office productivity applications. Step two — install the Amazon Workspaces client on the Chromebook. Step three — log on. I have to say that the setup was quick and simple. The Chromebook works well, and is an environment that will pass the litmus test for employees that need to access Windows applications.\n\nMy little experiment proved to be invaluable in understanding how quickly a Windows desktop can be built on Amazon — and the usability of running Windows on a Google Chromebook. It’s clear that businesses have some interesting endpoint, productivity apps, and workspace hosting choices ahead of them that include:\n\nSo while I have my doubts that the exact scenario I ran will become commonplace in the enterprise, it does call attention to:\n\nAnd depending on how any one of the above (or combination thereof) play out, this might ultimately affect the ways in which we can choose to work.\n\nOn that note, please let me know if you have any examples of Chromebook use in the enterprise, Amazon Workspace deployments at scale, or projecting Windows applications. Would be great to compare notes.\n\nYou should be speaking with IndependenceIT. They have been at the cloud desktop game longer than anyone (way longer than Amazon) . In fact, Microsoft sued iIT several years ago over it’s original name choice “Host Windows” (MSFT won). They have hundreds of channel partners with tens of thousands of end users, many of them using Chromebooks with thousands of 3rd party enterprise applications….it definitely works at scale.\n\nHey Jim: Always good to hear from you.\nReaders: Jim previously built/sold an MSP, and also helped to get independenceIT off the ground with a pure channel strategy.\n-jp\n\nYou got it Joe! I just think the better DaaS or WaaS platforms on the market are a great way to go for better security/flexibility in the world of device proliferation and BYOD. All stuff you and I have been discussing for the last few years.\n\nAgreed. I think the example ESG shared is an important “proof of concept” that makes partners realize this is no longer vapor. But certainly, partners will need a channel-centric platform to monetize workspace as a service… Hence, IndependenceIT and others.\n\nWe have been testing Intel compute sticks for this very same purpose. Monitor with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with RDP. Any idea if Chromebooks can be used with Windows Azure platform instead of AWS?\n\nHi Joe,\nThank you for the post! Does AWS through Chromebook have the same mouse and tract pad functionality as a standard pc?\n\nHey Clint: You’ve stumped me (… and admittedly, that happens all the time). I’ll see if I can track down an answer for you and will provide an update here in the days ahead.\n-jp"

"As the coffee industry enters a new year, planning and preparing for a seemingly endless stream of events and competitions, Michelle Johnson is busy formulating her own plans, returning to the United States while taking her work on The Chocolate Barista blog and Black Coffee events to the next level.\n\nJohnson has become a key voice in the dialogue on racial issues, disparities and outright racism in the coffee industry, and how those continue to impact the lives of working coffee professionals. The Chocolate Barista platform has expanded to include events and parties geared towards Black coffee professionals, providing a venue for these important conversations to take place.\n\nJohnson, who has been living in Australia for the past year, has not let distance stand in her way while organizing Black Coffee events in three cities around the U.S. in 2018: Portland (Oregon), New York City, and Washington D.C. With the release of the Black Coffee NYC and DC videos last month, the ambitious former barista ended the year on a strong note.\n\nSeveral other prominent speaking engagements in recent years have allowed Johnson to connect with audiences on a subject that many other people in coffee have been uncomfortable or unwilling to confront.\n\nJohnson’s first talk at the 2016 Tamper Tantrum looked at laying the groundwork for diversity; a panel discussion at the 2017 SCA Expo explored changing power structures; and her talk at the 2018 Re:co Symposium focused on building diverse and inclusive communities, particularly in the online space.\n\nThis month marks the three year anniversary for The Chocolate Barista, which Johnson launched while working as a barista in Phoenix.\n\n“It wasn’t until I moved to Phoenix that I realized there was a diversity problem in coffee,” Johnson, who is originally from the D.C. area, told DCN. “The demographics of the population in D.C. is much more diverse. Then I moved to Arizona and realized I was the only Black girl in the coffee scene at the time.”",
null,
"In May 2016, Johnson penned a Chocolate Barista post called The Black Cup of Excellence: Being Black in Specialty Coffee. Her words spread quickly through coffee circles, opening a door that Johnson herself was not entirely ready to walk through.\n\n“After I posted that piece, it went wild and it has just continued from there,” Johnson said. “I still had much more to say, and it got easier over time. More people started to reach out to me, I felt more supported, and I was meeting new people because of it. I just figured there is a lot that needs to be done, and more that needs to be said, and if other people aren’t going to do it, then I’m just going to do it instead.”\n\nFrom the community response and through these connections, the Black Coffee event series seemed to be a natural extension of the platform.",
null,
"“With Black Coffee, I wanted it to be funny and lighthearted, but still very real,” said Johnson. “The conversation being had is for us and by us. I tell our panel each time, we are not catering to the audience. The one thing I want us to keep in mind is that we want this conversation to really reach and penetrate other Black people, whether they work in coffee, are coffee enthusiasts, or are just curious and passing along through, because these experiences are something that we can all relate to.”\n\nJohnson noted that while there will certainly be other people in attendance, and it will definitely be a learning experience for them, these events aren’t intended to be a teaching moment. With Black Coffee, originally inspired by the live podcast series The Read, Johnson wanted to create a space for casual, honest conversation on a range of topics — both within and beyond the coffee world.\n\n“This is for us to have a cathartic conversation that we don’t really get to have otherwise, with people living in different places around the country,” said Johnson. “The goal was for this to feel like a gathering or reunion, so to speak.”\n\nJohnson’s other goal with this event series is to reach people who are having trouble in the industry, or people who may be the only Black person in his/her/their area.\n\n“[To these people], I would say It is okay to feel frustrated by these barriers as you try to embark on this journey, but don’t let them derail you,” Johnson said. “If it’s something you’re extremely passionate about, you’re not going to let someone who is withholding information from you, or someone not promoting you, get in the way of what it is that you feel like you’re meant to be doing. Also, I want to see more people that look like me engaging in coffee culture. We need you!”",

"Although Johnson has provided a leading voice on the subject of diversity in coffee, she is also quick to point out the fact that hers is not the only voice. With a range of professional interests in coffee and marketing, Johnson similarly hopes to not be professionally pigeonholed.\n\nIn 2017, she took on a communications role with the discussion platform and subscription service Barista Hustle in Melbourne. Johnson recently left the position and is preparing to move back to the U.S. to step into the world of freelancing — drawing on her marketing and content development skills to work with clients from various segments of the coffee industry.\n\n“I want to really become a part of a community,” said Johnson. “I want to invest in it.”",
null,
"People and their stories. The infinite amount of ways that people have connected with coffee and what it means to them. I just love hearing about people’s coffee origin stories, how they fell into it, and how this beverage has done so much to bring people together in so many different ways. It is so inspiring — I don’t think I could do anything else.\n\nHow unsustainable it is for a lot of people when it comes to pay and wages, and not just on the retail end of things but on the producing side of it too. It is astronomical how severely underpaid people are in the industry and how so many of them are just continuing to be exploited for the top few percent to make a ton of money.\n\nWhat would you be doing if it wasn’t for coffee?\n\nI think that if it wasn’t for coffee, I would have stayed in school back in D.C. and continued with my math degree. I probably would have gotten some weird corporate government-adjacent job in the city and been super boring."

"A friend of mine made a complaint to the BSA about Newshub’s first ever “Because It Matters” show about the dangerous “far-right”.\n\nI referenced this in my recent interview with SB, as this was the show they tried to get me to appear on.\n\nAs it was supposed to be about “new conservatism”, I did suggest they interview Elliot Ikilei. For some strange reason, they did not bother to contact him.\n\nIn this “news” broadcast, Patrick Gower made the shocking claim that the far-right is here in New Zealand and influencing politics, right after discussing Simon Bridges’ opposition to the UN Migration Compact.\n\nThe complaint about accuracy was not upheld. Good news for Paddy? Well, not really. Here’s the damning ruling from the BSA.\n\nThe Authority found that Mr Gower’s comment that ‘the global far-right is here in New Zealand, influencing us and our politicians whether we realise it or not’ was not a statement of fact to which the accuracy standard applies.\n\nHere is the core of the complaint made by Max:\n\nMr Gower’s concluding comment was inaccurate and no evidence was broadcast to support it.\n\nMr Gower’s statement was clearly made in reference to Mr Bridges as it was preceded by references to Mr Bridges’ and the National Party’s position on the Pact.\n\nNewshub/TV3 didn’t respond on time, but the BSA decided to be lenient and accept their defence anyway:\n\nMr Gower’s statement was a statement of analysis and comment, therefore the accuracy standard does not apply.\n\nMr Gower told MediaWorks his statement was referencing Mr Peters being threatened by ‘a known far-right extremist’, not Mr Bridges’ or the National Party’s position on the Pact.\n\nThe BSA sided with Newshub’s defence that the accuracy standard does not apply to opinions.\n\nI’m inclined to agree with the first point of defence and am glad that Newshub have finally admitted what we’ve known all along.\n\nThe second point they made, and one the BSA also tries to defend, is total nonsense.\n\nThey expect us to believe that Paddy’s ominous conclusions were supposed to apply solely to a threat aimed at Winston Peters? The focus of the show was on Martin Sellner and Simon Bridges, and it’s idiotic to claim that your concluding statements somehow apply to an offhand comment made earlier.\n\nThey ran this “Because It Matters” segment during the 6pm prime time news hour and they touted it as groundbreaking investigative journalism. This was Patrick Gower’s premiere entry into tackling serious issues.\n\nNewshub and Gower then turn around and claim his conclusions were just his opinion, with no evidence required to back them up and therefore no accuracy standards need to be applied.\n\nThanks to Paddy for the laughs, and a much bigger thanks to Max, who puts in a bit of effort to keep the charlatans on their toes."

"The new fund, which has been welcomed by WWF and others in civic society, will help people living in some of the world's poorest countries affected by the changing climate - such as more frequent and severe droughts and floods .\n\nThe fund was a key demand of WWF Scotland's campaign for national climate legislation in 2007-2009 and of its election campaign activities in 2011.\n\nOne of a series of initiatives ahead of the Rio+20 summit in June, the Scottish Government is providing £3 million (UK pounds) for the fund - one million per year for the next three years - which will support water projects in Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia - increasing communities' resilience to the impacts of climate change.\n\nAt the launch, a short film was released highlighting support for climate justice from across Scottish society. It includes endorsements from many organisations, including WWF, development and faith groups.\n\n\"It is those countries least responsible for the pollution that currently face the greatest threats from climate change. Building on Scotland's world-leading targets for our own emissions, the Climate Justice Fund demonstrates our awareness that we, like every other industrialised countries, also need to better help developing nations cope with the climate change we have caused.\n\n\"It is only because of the original Rio conference that we have international action on climate, forests and nature, so we hope Rio+20 helps to refocus the minds of world leaders on the continuing need to act.\"\n\n\"The huge injustice of climate change is that it is those who have done the least to cause the problem - the most vulnerable from the world's poorest communities - who are hardest hit by it. That is why Scotland is committed to supporting climate justice and why we are launching Scotland's Climate Justice Fund.\n\n\"In launching this fund we are all too aware that one country cannot win the battle against climate change alone. Collective action is not an option but an imperative, and we need to ensure our actions and our message inspires others to act.\"",

"I have the first TBF Author Interview of the year! No surprise that the first author I interviewed was the one and only Terry Trueman.\n\nA little side note before I get to the interview. My first time coming to TBF, the author who really stuck out was Terry Trueman. He was hilarious and sarcastic. When I met him at the autographing session, I won't lie, I was extremely nervous but Terry was one of the sweetest authors. He definitely reminds me a lot like a cuddly teddy bear.\n\nMiranda Reads: For people who are coming to TBF for the first time, author or fan, what advice would you give him, TBF mascot?\n\nTerry Trueman: I’d advice them NOT to become a TBF author mascot, as a 195 lb, 6’ tall man looks BAD in a tutu, even if it IS a black tutu!\n\n(Honestly, Terry, you rocked that tutu. Don't you guys agree?)\n\nMR: What motivates you to keep on writing?\nTT: I generally love to write. I’ve been lucky and blessed enough to get to write only about the things I want to write about. I love it. Motivation is never the problem, the problem is balancing the time I want to spend writing with the time I have to give to what lesser mortals call “a life”.\n\nTT: Hmmm, good question. HURRICANE required both some research as it was based on a real event in Central American (Hurricane Mitch in Oct 1998) and also it had been so many years since I’d been in Honduras, so I had to go back to old memories--but I wouldn't say it was ‘hard’ just a bit harder than the others. Easiest? Impossible to say but probably LIFE HAPPENS NEXT because I’d had so many years to think about what might happen next in the life of Shawn McDaniel, protagonist of STUCK IN NEUTRAL my first novel.\n\nTT: Comedy, definitely a comedy routine. I’m pretty funny, at least to myself.\n\n\nMR: Which author are you most looking forward to meeting at the 10th Annual Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival?\n\nTT: I haven’t looked at the line-up yet but I hear that Amy King (A.S. King) will be back again with her husband Topher and I absolutely adore both of them--I have been at EVERY TBF and have met so many great authors and made so many pals. I tend to gravitate initially towards pretty women and funny guys but I try to never dismiss anyone. I’ve found that most authors, given half a chance will admit to how lucky and blessed we feel and once we start sharing that, the rest comes easily. TBF is great because it gives authors plenty of time to really hang-out together and every Y.A. author wants to be invited and invited back so all of us are on our best behavior--even though James Kennedy’s best behavior is worse than most everyone else’s worst behavior (Hmmm, thinking about that, it’s probably true for me too!) LOL\n\nThanks Terry! We can't wait to see you in May!\n\nThat's it for today. Here on the TBF blog, we all wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!\nMiranda\nPosted by miranda e. at 11:12 AM No comments:\n\nROC the DAY for TBF\n\n\nHelp ROC the Day for TBF!\nDecember 2nd is a major day for Rochester…and for The TENTH Annual Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival. Fans can donate all day to TBF to help keep it FREE to attend. Please consider helping us ROC the Day so we can continue to rock TBF! We need just $3200 to meet our fundraising challenge goal…which will mean that many TBF planners will have to color their hair Tie-Dye colors with one special person agreeing to have her head shaved on TBF day if we meet the goal! On December 2nd visit here to learn more and to ROC the DAY for TBF: https://www.roctheday.org/TBFGreaterRochesterTeenBookFestival\nFor more info about TBF 2015 visit http://www.teenbookfestival.org/\n\nThanks everyone! Be sure to check out the blog again for more book reviews, author interviews and more.\nMiranda\nPosted by miranda e. at 11:05 AM No comments:\n\nEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest\nLabels: news, Roc the Day\n\nOn another note, I want to thank Laurie Halse Anderson for coming to the TBF Read-a-Thon. It was a huge hit! We loved having Laurie with us.\n\nLaurie Halse Anderson with her birthday cake!\nThat's it for today. Be sure to check out the blog for more book reviews, author interviews and announcements!\nMiranda\n\nPosted by miranda e. at 9:32 AM No comments:"

"Eva Maria LaRue was born on December 27, 1966 in Long Beach, California. She started acting at age six and became a beauty queen when she was a teenager. Following her high school graduation, she began to work as a model. After appearing in various TV shows, she gained recognition as Dr. Maria Santos Grey in the soap opera All My Children.\n\nShe also became known on TV for her roles in Third Watch and Soul Food. She later rose to wider stardom when she got the role of Natalia Boa Vista in CSI: Miami. On film, she has appeared in Crash and Burn and RoboCop 3, among others.\n\nThe CSI: Miami actress is in her late 40s but most will agree that she looks younger and attractive for her age. Her role on the hit show certainly makes her a household name and by being so, LaRue invites rumors of plastic surgery because of her youthful appearance. Though fans of CSI: Miami don’t really see the actress in a tight-fitting with a low-plunging neckline dress on the show, they definitely can in red carpet events.\n\nIn her public appearances, she mostly showcases her prominent breasts, and as a result, some fans have wondered if LaRue has had plastic surgery to have them enhanced. It has been reported that her prominent cleavage shows signs of being cosmetically done, such as the high placement and the extra perkiness.This rumor continues to exist but the actress chose to ignore such claims.",

"For most of 10-year-old Abby Furco’s life, she has only known one thing: cancer.\n\nThe sweet 5th grader was diagnosed with leukemia in 2011 when she was only 4 years old. At the time, doctors only gave her a 20 percent chance of survival.\n\n“We were devastated,” Abby’s mom, Patty Furco, said. “We were basically told that she was going to die, there was very little hope.”\n\nFor the next six years, the family did everything they could to help Abby and give her the best life they could. She underwent a bone marrow transplant, intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and a trial drug.\n\n“We kept her surrounded by love because we knew at any moment we could lose her,” Patty said. “There were moments we didn’t know if she’d pull through, she has so many infections that could have ended her life. All we could do was watch her fight and try to get better.”",
null,
"In October 2013 came a ray of hope. Abby had finished her treatments and for one “beautiful” year was able to be a normal kid again. She attended school, went to soccer practice, and joined the Girl Scouts.\n\nThen, the following September, the cancer returned, and this time it was worse than ever.\n\n“As hard as that first diagnosis was, this one tested every ounce of our being,” Patty recalled. “She became completely immobile, any movement hurt her and she hardly spoke.”\n\nShe received another bone marrow transplant in February 2015, but just 15 days later she was diagnosed with Graft-versus-host disease, a condition where the donated marrow begins to attack the body.\n\nThe next month her kidneys began to fail. She was put into intensive care and doctors told her parents that if they took her off dialysis she would only survive 48 hours.\n\nIt was time to say goodbye.\n\n“Doctors told us it was time to let her go, she was only awake for like an hour each day,” Patty said. “We began preparing our other daughters for her death.”\n\nThey put Abby in hospice care and her grandparents flew in to say their final goodbyes. Then they began the heartbreaking task of planning her funeral, picking out her casket and the music they would play.\n\nThen a miracle occurred – Abby woke up.\n\n“She told us, ‘I have so much living to do,’” Patty recalled.\n\n“We couldn’t believe it,” she added, “in a matter of days, weeks, months she started walking and getting stronger. It’s an absolute miracle.”\n\nDoctors agree – there is absolutely nothing medically that can explain Abby’s recovery.\n\n“We helped her get home on hospice. But when we started backing off, taking away treatments so she wasn’t on so many meds, she started getting better all on her own,” said Abby’s doctor, pediatric hematologist and oncologist Jacob Wessler.\n\n“She’s had ups and downs, but if she continues on this path, she is going to make us all look like fools!” he added. “She’s defied every single odd.”\n\nAbby is now in remission and receives IV steroids twice a day. Her prognosis remains uncertain, but her family is hopeful. They are taking each day as it comes and enjoying every precious moment they get with Abby.\n\n“We watched her die and come back to life,” Patty said. “Now we’re looking to the future.”\n\nWere you amazed by Abby’s miraculous recovery? So share this!"

"Opinion: opportunities and challenges for the public sector in 2022",
null,
"Among the many benefits of hosting three conferences in three weeks, featuring 60 public sector speakers, is PERSPECTIVE. By creating a knowledge-sharing opportunity for so many varied government and health organisations, we’re able to capture the big issues occupying the minds of transformation leaders across the Civil Service, local government and healthcare.\n\nA new era for leadership and team management\n\nPost-Covid, we spent a lot of our time talking about leading teams in a new working world and some of the tensions around offices versus home and hybrid working. A lot of the conversations were certainly focused on how to lead teams that by nature are going to be much more disparate, spread around and doing different things. We’re recognising that the days of line-of-sight management are long gone - it's all about managing outcomes and being clear about purpose.\n\nThere is recognition that Whitehall departments cannot go back to operating in isolation, they must continue to collaborate. Through all of the speakers at the conferences it was great across such a mix of departments to hear about the level of crossover and a recognition of how they work together. With health, HMRC, and DWP all working together - these are not acronyms you normally associate as working together, but they recognised that they had to in times of crisis, and have continued to do so afterwards, which is positive. The Civil Service is a collaborative enterprise rather than a series of splendid towers, operating in isolation\n\nSelling the value of UK plc\n\nThe international flavours of the conversations were fascinating, because before Covid, there was Brexit of course. It was interesting hearing from people at the Department for International Trade and the Intellectual Property Office about the recognition that the UK and the Civil Service are learning how to sell the country as a place to invest in and as a place to do business with.\n\nThat's a big challenge for the Civil Service, because it's not something they've really had to do a lot historically. But in a world where we're not part of a large economic bloc anymore, and we're building our own economic relationships, that means that sales and sales capability have to become part of the ethic of public service.\n\nThat's always been the case in local government - we heard that in some of the local government sessions, where actually there’s a long track record around economic development and reimagining the future of place - maybe there's something we can learn from each other in that space?\n\nUniversally across central and local government. we kept hearing that recognition about user-centred design and building services around the user experiences. Whether it be citizen or resident, it doesn't really matter. It's about actually who you're there to serve, rather than who your institution is.\n\nThat ethos has to be supported by investing in user research and research in data - recognise the wealth of data you have, but also spend time, effort and money in understanding what that data is telling you. It’s integral to that user research piece.\n\nOne of the things that really resonated with me was the creation of the regional government hubs that we heard being used and endorsed by a whole range of Whitehall departments.\n\nWhether it was Birmingham, Leeds, Central London or Canary Wharf - the feedback was that these are good, professional, quality working environments. People arrived and the systems worked, they could log on to do business, they saw other Civil Servants from other departments, and worked together in the same space. The collaborative workspace is happening in the Civil Service, so the challenge for wider public services is to get on that bus - this is the way forward. And the other thing that they all mentioned was, it was so refreshing to have the sites near transport hubs, rather than in industrial parks on the edge of towns and cities.\n\nFlexible working - a key to recruitment and retention\n\nIt’s not unique to government, we're seeing it in all sectors, but there are clear tensions around the extent to which you offer workforce flexibility. If you have to deliver services in certain places in certain ways, and you're open to the public, people still need to be there and that’s accepted as the reality. But the strong message from everybody around workforce recruitment and retention is that hybrid, flexible working is now a top-ticket item for recruitment and retention. It's mentioned in interviews, where it never used to be. It's a reason for people choosing to apply or not.\n\nTheory to reality: the power of AI\n\nWe're not talking about what AI is anymore. We're talking about the value that AI is driving and the extent to which it's moving to deeper learning. So the big story that came out of the 2022 Government Transformation Show was a conversation that's deeper and more wide-ranging around artificial intelligence as an active learning tool.\n\nIt was refreshing we weren't talking about machine learning and AI and autonomous stuff - it was all AI working in a continuum."
