On International Women’s Day a joint e-learning initiative between Metropolitan Housing Partnership (MHP) and STOP THE TRAFFIK was launched to educate and raise awareness of human trafficking among authorities, communities, and the public.
These e-learning modules explain what human trafficking is, the signs of trafficking people should look out for, and what people can do if they suspect trafficking is happening in their community.
Barbara Roche, Chair of Metropolitan Housing Partnership, said “Trafficking ruins lives. We know, for example that there are many instances that involve the exploitation of children. If you know what trafficking is, what it looks like, and who to tell, you could play a key part in securing someone’s freedom.” Barbara continued: “We will be providing this online training to our staff, and are looking at ways to make it available to our residents too. We at MHP are proud to be working with STOP THE TRAFFIK to raise awareness and improve the lives of the victims of human trafficking.”
To register go to www.traffickingaware.org
A second module has been especially designed for teachers who may come into trafficked children or those at risk on a day-to-day basis but not realise it. This module has been written in collaboration with Off the Record (a fantastic NGO working with unaccompanied asylum seekers and refugees) and the Croydon Community against Trafficking. It is in the final phase of development and will be available to schools and teachers with an accompanying work book.

At 55-years-old, Terry Jo Bichell is a couple of months away from earning a PHD in neuroscience. She says it puts her one step closer to achieving a goal she set out for herself 16 years ago - to cure her son Louis from a debilitating genetic disorder.
A mother of five, Terry Jo had spent her life dedicated to helping woman and children, first as a documentary film maker in Africa and then as a nurse and midwife.
"When I had my fifth kid and he turned out to be diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome I stopped caring about other woman children and other woman's problems and that is really true.
Terry Jo shifted her entire focus to Louis.
Angelman Syndrome, or AS, is a neuro-genetic disorder characterized by intellectual and developmental disabilities. It occurs when the maternal gene, UBE3A, is either missing or damaged. That gene regulates the concentration of a protein important to development in the brain.
For more than a decade, Terry Jo sought out researchers and helped fund experiments and clinical trials in the hopes of finding treatments for AS. Over time, she came to the realization that in order to really make a difference in the world of doctors and scientists, she needed to become one herself.
During that time, research toward experimental treatments for AS progressed, revolving around ways to activate the paternal copy of UBE3A in the brain. The experiments proved promising in mouse models. The problem is that even if a drug is successful in activating the paternal gene, the researchers had no viable way to gauge if it is actually working as changes could take months or years to manifest. They needed a litmus test of sorts.
Terry Jo found one.
As part of her studies, she started working with Carl Johnson, a professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University. They discovered a link between AS and circadian rhythms with mice models showing that the disorder effects the biological clock.
"Our piece of the puzzle could be to use this biological clock phenomenon to see if the therapeutic treatment changes the biological clock which would suggest that, yes, that treatment is really working."
Terry Jo feels her life has gone full circle, back to the days of helping others.
"So all of this has been a push to cure my kid and then in the end, I am going to cure other woman's kids and you know what? And that is so great. I met this baby just a couple of months ago. I was looking at that baby and I was thinking, we are going to cure that baby, we are going to cure that baby."
Terry Jo says she will not rest until that day comes.

Auditor General DePasquale Highlights How Rebates Drive Up Prescription Drug Costs for ConsumersSpecial report shows rebates don’t save money for patients with private insurance coverage
Auditor General DePasquale Highlights How Rebates Drive Up Prescription Drug Costs for Consumers
Special report shows rebates don’t save money for patients with private insurance coverage
NEW CASTLE, Lawrence County (Feb. 28, 2019) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today visited The Hometown Pharmacy in New Castle to release his new special report on how manufacturers’ rebates artificially inflate the prices people pay for prescription drugs.
The new report is a follow-up to his December special report, “Bringing Accountability and Transparency to Prescription Drug Pricing,” which called for legislative action to reduce Medicaid prescription costs by increasing the transparency of how pharmacy benefit managers do business.
“Rebates can actually drive up the cost of your prescription drugs by as much as 30 percent, meaning your brand-name heart medication, for instance, is likely almost a third more expensive than it needs to be,” DePasquale said.
Why consumers may not notice, DePasquale said, is because rebates are passed behind-the-scenes between drug manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and insurance providers – never reaching consumers’ hands, or their wallets.
“In short, manufacturers who are required to offer a rebate on a drug simply set a higher starting list price in order to maintain their profit,” DePasquale said. “It’s practically the same thing as a store marking up the price of an item before putting it ‘on sale’ – the actual savings are illusory, at best.”
Making matters worse, the situation may actually keep pharmacy benefit managers from placing lower-priced medications on insurers’ approved drug lists, meaning only higher-priced drugs are covered.
“Part of the problem is that instead of getting a flat fee per prescription, pharmacy benefit managers get a percentage of the total cost of the drug,” DePasquale said. “This means that the more expensive the medication, the more profit the pharmacy benefit manager gets to keep. No wonder they aren’t exactly rushing to add lower-cost drugs to their approved lists – they’re rewarded for doing the opposite, and patients are paying the price.”
“Being in a community pharmacy, our pharmacists often hear concerns from our customers about the rising costs of the medications they take to stay healthy,” said Ron McDermott, senior vice president of pharmacy operations at Hometown Pharmacy Solutions. “I applaud Auditor General DePasquale for shining a light on the role that rebates play in spiraling drug costs.”
DePasquale stopped short of calling for rebates to be discontinued, noting that they were originally designed to help government insurance programs such as Medicaid save money — which does happen. In 2017, Pennsylvania spent nearly $3.5 billion for outpatient Medicaid prescriptions and received just over $2 billion back through rebates.
“Without federally mandated rebates, taxpayers could be spending nearly twice as much to help Pennsylvania’s 2.8 million Medicaid recipients get their medications,” he added. “But, for those with private insurance, rebates do not save money and ultimately increase the cost of prescription drugs.”
DePasquale suggested the following remedies:
- The Pennsylvania General Assembly should mandate that pharmacy benefit managers receive a flat fee for service for providing administration of each prescription drug claim, regardless of the drug price, rather than being paid a percentage of the drug price as a rebate.
- Congress should mandate that 100 percent of all rebates should go back to the third-party payer, whether that is a government program such as Medicaid or a private health insurer, and mandate that health insurers pass along the savings to patients.
- Congress should consider revising the Social Security Act after determining whether the rebate percentages required for all medications should be altered or increased because the last mandated increase went into effect 10 years ago, in 2009.
Pharmacy benefit managers — which act as middlemen between drug manufacturers and pharmacists — have come under pressure nationally for raking in huge profits while shrouding their business practices from oversight. Most other states have already passed legislation aimed at making PBMs’ practices more transparent so that state leaders can ensure taxpayers are not paying for unnecessary services.
In 2017, Pennsylvania taxpayers paid $2.86 billion to PBMs for Medicaid enrollees, according to the state Department of Human Services. That marked an increase of 100 percent in just four years, up from $1.41 billion in 2013.
“It’s time to rein in the companies that are raking in tens of billions of dollars in profits each year as millions of hard-working people struggle to afford the medications they need,” DePasquale said.
The special report on pharmaceutical rebates is available online at: www.PaAuditor.gov.

EDITOR’S NOTE: To help consumers take an active role in getting the best possible price for their prescriptions, DePasquale released a short informational video with three questions everyone should ask their pharmacist.

We lost power days ago, I live with my mom who is elderly and 2 small childern. We've been on the phone with ODOT and PGE numerous times trying to find out when the power would be on. When we lost it, our driveway had 2 and a half feet of snow and there was no way we could leave. By the second day out house was down to 40 degrees. There was no way even emergency personal could make it up to our house and PGE's answer was, "Well that's why you need to be prepared." We ran out of dry firewood, had no heat, and no running water, so I started shoveling the driveway. Two days of shoveling and I got my mom, my five year old son, and 6 month old daughter out of the house. We've been at a hotel for days now and I still can't get an answer from PGE as to why people around us have power, but we don't. Or when we can expect it. My neighbors have medical conditions too, that put them at risk of serious complications or death without power. It's frustrating to see how the rural communities are put on hold so PGE can say they fixed a huge number of customers. It's frustrating that when the weather hits us all hard, its the people that can't get any form of transportation or have a place they can get to, to stay warm are forgotten about.

This is obviously a very effective way to make sure you don't get overcharged at the deli. Keep your fingers on your gun the whole time. NYC cops are tough. If you overcharge them, they'll shoot you.

dedicated people who gave of themselves by coming to Louisiana to

Sorry, I wanted to increase the site hits some and figured that was a good way to do it. Now back to today’s post.
A Kind Reader sent this article about a poll of librarians. The headline focuses just on one statistic: 8% of the librarians polled answered yes to this question: “Do you agree that reading and writing will one day be obsolete – replaced by entirely oral/verbal or visual modes of communication?” The headline should have been the one I used for this post.
My question is, is there anything at all interesting about this statistic? Is that even a question worth answering?
The lead in to the question was even more pointless:
The ability of computers and handheld devices to communicate verbally is advancing at an extraordinary pace. Some believe the days of the printed word are numbered and the transition to an entirely oral/verbal/visual culture is inevitable. Others have even predicted the total demise of literacy as early as 2050.
Those three sentences contain one statement of probable fact, and two utterly pointless and barely meaningful sentences.
The reason those are so stupid and pointless is that there’s probably no future state, however foolish, that someone or other hasn’t predicted. I predict we’ll discover a secret Nazi base on the moon, and all the Nazis will be illiterate. There, that was easy enough.
Some believe the reading and writing will disappear. Yeah, okay, so? Some believe that on the eighth day God created the fossil record.
A culture currently with mass literacy will becoming a culture without writing is “inevitable”? Really? The whole inevitability of history claim hasn’t fared too well in the last hundred years or so.
Plus, who really cares what “some believe”? I guess all those people who believe in fortune tellers might, while the rest of us just have a good laugh at them.
But back to the 8% of librarians who think reading and writing will become obsolete. If only the sentence had stopped there, I would have definitely answered yes.
I predict that all reading and writing on the planet earth will eventually become obsolete. It might take billions of years, but it’s definitely inevitable.
Instead of being replaced by an entirely oral culture, I suspect it’s more likely to be replaced by the sun expanding and engulfing the earth, and an oral culture probably can’t survive that. But maybe! Plus by then humans will have migrated to a new Earth, just like in Battlestar Gallactica.
The one sentence of probable fact in any of this is that the ability of computers to communicate verbally is increasing rapidly. You know what else has been increasing at the same time? Reading and writing. Publication of the written word. There’s a lot of it, and it doesn’t seem to be decreasing.
So the prediction isn’t based on any trend of writing decreasing, just of verbal communication becoming easier. Haven’t we heard this before? Isn’t that what misguided doomsayers said when the radio became popular? And then television? Yes, that’s it. Television killed literacy. That’s why little Johnny couldn’t read, because TV killed phonics.
The Kind Reader asked what I thought about the poll. I think any poll asking anyone to predict anything that far in the future is ridiculous. 2050 is 37 years away. Who in 1976 could have accurately predicted the world we live in today, where billions of people type messages into little slabs of plastic and glass and send the to people across the country or the world?
Wait, those little machines have actually led to an increase in the written word. Texting might have saved literacy, because people texting on their phones in public is acceptable, unless they’re walking in front of you. People talking on or to their phones in public is just annoying. Just wait until the airlines let people use cell phones during flight if you don’t believe me.
On the other hand, the other story is that 92% of librarians polled think reading and writing will still be around in the distant future. I think they’re right, but if we’re all wrong, so what?
Finally, just on a purely logistical note, if literacy were really dead by 2050, wouldn’t that mean that pretty much everyone born after the late nineties or so at the very latest have to be dead by then? Most of those people are already literate?
Maybe the real story is that we’ll have a Logan’s Run on literacy, and that by 2050 the government will just start killing anyone over a certain age or capable of reading a sentence.
Geez, I change my mind. That seems totally plausible. I’m voting with the 8%.

|Lebanon - Lebanon to launch first DSL in March|
|Lebanon is expected to launch the first Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) in March or April at rates that are compatible with European countries, Minister of Telecommunication Marwan Hamade said Tuesday.
Hamade made the announcement after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with representatives of Internet Providers and Licensed Data Operators in Lebanon which would allow the companies to use the government's cable networks and install and operate the new broadband services.
The head of the government-run Ogero Telecom Abdel-Munim Youssif told The Daily Star the Licensed Data Operators will make all the necessary investments in the cable networks to enable consumers to connect to the broadband service. "We have not yet discussed the fees from the IPO," Youssif said, adding that the government will not put any money into the project.
Youssif said the Telecommunication Ministry hopes the end user will not pay more than $50 a month for a package that allows a download speed of 512K.
"The unbundling of the cable networks is close to privatization of the services because the whole system will be run by private companies," Youssif said.
Maroun Chammas, executive director of the IDM Internet provider, said Ogero will charge 10 percent of what the consumers will pay.
"The rates will definitely be much cheaper than the current Internet rates and most importantly the consumers will no longer have to pay additional fees on their phone connections," he added.
At present, IPOs provide outmoded phone internet services, wireless internet and cable connections restricted to companies. The connections rates are among the highest in the region. According to recent statistics, there are 200,000 Internet subscribers in Lebanon, way behind many countries in the Middle East.
But the MoU put some restrictions on the IPOs, including a ban on the use of Voice Over IP.
The government has been cracking down on illegal IPOs that provide internet service with voice capabilities believing they will affect state revenues.

In its heyday, Tombstone, Arizona was "The Town too Tough to Die". Now it's scrabbling to survivea wide spot in the road. Today's Wyatt Earps, Doc Hollidays and Big Nose Kates plying the tourist trade on Allen Street are less likely to get into range wars, as they are preoccupied with mortgages, car payments, and the odd bum knee.
Tombstone is home to Maggie O'Neil, intrepid probation officer, whose lover has just taken off for Nashville to make his fortune. Worse, Maggie has misplaced one of her probationers, Freddy Valenzuela. She figures Freddie is the best of the bunchone of the few who might actually make it through probation and succeed in life.
Maggie doesn't believe Freddie Valenzuela would skip town without his dog Blue. He might leave his girlfriend, since they had their share of troubles, but not Blue. Then Freddie's girlfriend Shari Slater turns up dead. Not just dead, eithershe's been tortured. Freddie's the main suspect until he's found dead as well, his mashed-up pickup lodged in a tree. A crime wave has hit Cochise County, and before the body count rises higher than the number of burial plots on Boot Hill, Maggie must figure out what is going on and find a way to stop it.
When a valuable reining horse is stolen from a nearby ranch, Maggie discovers a strange connection between Freddie, his girlfriend, and the missing horse. She begins to suspect that the murders have the horse and its owners at the center. As the bodies pile up, Maggie realizes time is running out, and if she doesn't do something soon, she might just be the next to die.

DERRY, N.H. (AP) _ The word has gone out from Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani: people should leave his family alone.
He was asked at a New Hampshire town hall meeting why he should
expect loyalty from voters when he doesn't get it from his own children.
His comment was greeted with a smattering of applause from the audience, but the questioner says it remains an issue that is "going to stay there for a lot of people."
Giuliani has a daughter who has indicated support for Democrat Barack Obama and a son who said he didn't speak to his father for some time. Giuliani had an ugly divorce from their mother and has since remarried.
He urged those gathered to judge his performance as mayor of New
York and as federal prosecutor.

Richard and Terry regularly minister at Sunday services in every type of congregation. They are quick to adapt to the faith tradition and prayer style of each particular community. They have spoken in recent years in the pulpits of Reformed, Pentecostal, Baptist, Evangelical Free, Presbyterian, United, Free Methodist, Wesleyan, Independent Charismatic, Missionary Alliance, Associated Gospel and Anglican congregations as well as new International churches of numerous ethnicities.
Richard trained at Central Baptist Seminary and graduated in 1980. Terry was trained at London Baptist Seminary graduating in 1981. They have been ministering in local churches for over 34 years including 23 years as pastoral leaders. They can speak on a wide range of topics, but when given the choice they like to challenge believers about the power of prayer, or on the exponential release of blessing that comes through unity. The Long’s bring a solidly biblical basis to their teaching and are able to give many tangible stories about the practicality of what they share. References are available upon request.
To invite us to minister in your church please call our office at 613-824-4905, or email

Tucked away in the dusty halls of the Smithsonian archives and nearly forgotten by most historians, black culture is a vast, complex, interconnected web of different people, trends, and lifestyles. Deborah Willis has dug through the archives and hunted down the remnants that tell the wonderful and tragic history of a people. Tackling all subjects with bravery and frankness, Deborah Willis’s work is a true treasure to behold. Black: A Celebration of a Culture presents a vibrant panorama of twentieth-century black culture in America and around the world. Broken up into segments that examine in detail such subjects as children, work, art, beauty, Saturday night, and Sunday morning, the photos detail the history and the evolution of a culture. Each photograph, handpicked by Deborah Willis, America’s leading historian of African American photography, celebrates the world of music, art, fashion, sports, family, worship, or play. With five hundred photographs from every time period from the birth of photography to the birth of hip-hop, this book is a truly joyous exhibition of black culture. From Jessie Owens to Barry Bonds, Ella Fitzgerald to Halle Berry, Black: A Celebration of a Culture is joyous and inspiring.

ERJ staff report (TP)
Waalwijk, the Netherlands − Dutch tire manufacturer Magna Tyres announced on 6 January that an open pit, dolomite mine, in southern Poland has been successfully using its 26,5R25 MA08 L5 tires for the last four years, both on Liebherr 576 and Hyundai HL 770 vehicles.
The first set of tires, after 11,000 hours, is still in motion with around 15 percent of its original tread depth left. The customer decided to purchase another set of tires – this time the MAGNA MA05.
The MA08 tire is designed for use on wheel loaders, dozers and graders requiring maximum traction. The optimised square-shouldered design provides stability and protection from cuts. The aggressive, open tread pattern provides extra traction and stable ground contact.
The MA05 is designed for extreme loader applications in surface mines, quarries, scrap yards and underground mines. The crown and sidewall are reinforced to prevent damage and extend tire life in severe operating conditions. Operator comfort and machine maintenance are enhanced by not having to resort to the use of solid or foam filled tires.

Saying that the University of La Verne campus is dry is like parents telling their children that the Easter Bunny exists, yet everyone knows the truth. Alcohol is openly served at some faculty and alumni events on the ULV campus, yet the administration continues to label the campus as dry. This label is inconsistent with the current activities, policies and products available on the ULV campus.
Students living in the residence halls are still not allowed to have alcohol, even if they are of legal age.
The housing and residential life policy states: “Being in the presence of alcohol anywhere within or on grounds immediately adjacent to the on campus housing facilities is prohibited.”
Students are subject to sanctions if they are near the residence hall with alcohol.
If the Hanawalt House hosted an event that serves alcohol and a student drank there, that student could face disciplinary action.
On-campus catering company Bon Appétit employs students, some of who also live in campus housing. Since Bon Appétit recently was granted a liquor license, does this mean students serving alcohol for Bon Appétit could be punished for doing so?
“It is a gray area, and yes, under the housing policy students in those situations could see a punishment.” Juan Regalado, assistant dean of student affairs, said.
The University’s new alcohol policy seems hypocritical.
If alumni, faculty members and administrators can now enjoy drinks on campus, students who are of legal age should be allowed that same freedom.
While the University still stands firm about it being a dry campus, the ULV bookstore sells two small types of glasses called “collector glasses.” In any other situation they would be known as shot glasses.
This is a pretty mixed message from a school that claims to have a dry campus.
And that’s not all.
A pair of sunglasses is also available in the bookstore and at the end of the eyeglass arm, there is a bottle opener.
Although staff members at the bookstore claim that the people who buy these products are alumni, the reality is that anyone, even underage students, can walk into the bookstore and buy them.
The problem is not whether alcohol is being served on campus. The issue is that the University has created a policy that is vague and hypocritical.
Administration should make an effort to be clear with all people associated with the campus.
If ULV is to be a dry campus, then no one on campus should be allowed to consume alcohol.
If it is to be a dry campus, then alcohol paraphernalia should not be sold in the bookstore.
There should be nothing halfway.
It is a given that if the University allows legal-age students to drink alcohol, more responsibility will be expected by the students.
This would work.
Those of us who are of age feel we can balance our studies with recreation, including a little alcohol, responsibly.
The objective is not to give students the privilege to stock their mini-fridges with 100 bottles of whiskey or drink 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor in class.
The hope is to provide all on-campus students over 21 with equal liberty.
This is not a plea but a suggestion to open another chapter for the University, another experiment to allow this institution to express its true nature.
If handled correctly, this institution can trust legal-age students to make the right choices, while holding a diploma with one hand and a glass of wine with the other.

Last November, Minnesota waitress Stacy Knutson received what was quite possibly the world’s most generous tip. So generous that after the customer refused to take it back, Knutson turned the $12,000 in to police.
Initially, authorities told Knutson, a server at Fryn’ Pan Restaurant in Moorhead, Minn., and a mother of five, that she could keep the cash if no one claimed it within 60 days, Reuters reports. When those two months were up, officials then told her she wouldn’t be getting the money at all, as it allegedly smelled of marijuana and had been seized under state law. As a reward for turning the cash in, police offered her $1,000. Knutson refused and promptly filed suit.
As it turns out, the police changed their minds, and the $12,000 is being returned to Knutson, according to her attorney, Craig Richie. He told Reuters that several members of the community knew Knutson and her husband were facing considerable financial woes, and he believes the money was intended as a gift to her family. Assistant Clay County Attorney Michelle Lawson said the money couldn’t be tied to a criminal investigation, and Knutson will soon receive a check.
“We argued that most money that you carry in your pocket has drug residue on it,” Richie told CBS. “She could’ve kept the money and nobody would’ve known. But she said, ‘No, I’m going to do the right thing.’ So she called police and now integrity has now prevailed.”

The increasing blurring of reality between artificial intelligence, digital and all things advanced technology continues to mould the future look of life and the workplace.
From self-driving cars, wayward drones and data-collecting algorithms and software, humanity’s current point in time, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has trivially become known as the age of convenience. Culturally, tasks once seen as monotonous such as ordering a taxi, watching music, booking a flight, purchasing a product etc., can be done remotely more than ever before.

For the last two years, all the talk in Wisconsin has been about weather conditions bordering on drought. “Too little rain” this and “too little groundwater” that. This year, we have the exact opposite problem.
Sarah and I were scheduled to be at Effigy Mounds National Monument today to gather information for her graduate work. The plan was to meet several other people at the park, put a couple of canoes in the Yellow River, and paddle downstream a half-mile or so. At that point, we’d come ashore, unload the equipment from the canoes, paddle back to the vehicles, and do the whole thing again. Once we had all the equipment in place, we would construct this relatively large tripod (made of very thick aluminum) in a wetland on the border of a pond.
Using the tripod, we would take four-inch core samples of the mud. These core samples would then be analyzed by a lab. Sarah needs the lab analysis for her graduate work.
To arrive at the park bright and early this morning, we needed to leave Madison at oh-dark-hundred. To that end, we got the canoe on the car last night. Sarah rented a van on Saturday morning and she loaded it up with coring equipment yesterday while I worked on an article due today.
When we got back to the house last night after taking the dog out for a run, we got a message from the park naturalist at Effigy Mounds telling us that the park was closed due to extensive flooding. The Yellow River was also flooded and spilling over the land where we needed to work.
So, all our preparation was undone by the massive amounts of rain we’ve been getting this month. Madison is currently 9 inches above normal for rainfall in the month of May. We’ve gotten so much rain, that when we got forty-five minutes of very gentle mist on Saturday, we had standing water in the yard.
We’ve gotten maybe twelve hours of sun in the last week. This morning has been overcast. This afternoon will be overcast. Tonight, we’re going to get more thunderstorms. Tomorrow, more rain. If you call our house and we don’t answer, it’s most likely because we’re out canoeing on the city streets.

A couple of weeks ago, sex columnist and LGBT activist Dan Savage announced the launch of "It Gets Better," a YouTube project designed to give hope to gay, lesbian and transgendered teens facing discrimination and bullying. Now even more celebrities and activists have stepped forward with words of encouragement.
Savage's YouTube channel has accumulated dozens of inspiring messages from people all over the country, but not all of these videos are explicitly part of his campaign. The messages from Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog) and Ellen DeGeneres follow the lead set by Savage, though. The former appeared on Ellen's show, and the latter was sponsored by MTV.
The social media and video campaign was initiated in response to increasing reports of gay teens committing suicide in the wake of extreme bullying and discrimination from their peers. The message: Life seems difficult now, but there are greater opportunities to live openly without fear of abuse just a few years down the line, so it's important not to lose hope.
These five celebrity videos join a chorus of voices in social media, YouTube, blogs and other places dedicated to preventing suicide and discrimination. Did we miss a particularly poignant one? Let us know in the comments.

Rose hedges decorate a garden or lawn and bloom every year for lasting beauty. They do, however, require some maintenance to help them continue to grow healthfully in the shape you want. Part of the maintenance of rose hedges involves cutting, also called pruning, them periodically. If cut correctly, and with other proper care, rose hedges will grow to the desired height and fullness for the breed.
Cut the rose hedges in the spring, after the danger of frost has passed or mostly passed.
Use the pruning shears to cut away any rose hedge branches that will interfere with the plant's growth. You will want to wear gardening gloves to avoid scratches from thorns. Look for branches that have died or appear to be diseased, as well as any that are growing in odd directions that may harm the overall hedge. Cut the bad branches about 1 inch below the problem spots.
Cut away weak or fragile-looking branches throughout the hedge with the pruning shears. Cut away one of two branches that may rub together. Rubbing branches can create damage, so remove any branch that either rubs another or may rub another with additional growth.
Use the loppers to cut away one or two large branches. Cut one or two large old branches away per spring cutting.
Cut back the rest of the branches until the hedge is the desired height for its breed using a combination of the pruning shears, loppers and small garden saw as needed. In general, rose hedges range in height between 12 inches and 24 inches.
Cut rose hedges more precisely than other types of hedges without large hedge trimmers. Utilise precision tools, trimming each branch singly, for best results.
Skipping the spring cutting on your rose hedges for several years puts the bushes at higher risk for disease and insect infestation, as well as degrading the quality of the blooms.

Work on the new Anderson High School and halls of residence site at Clickimin will go on seven days a week, the council’s planning committee agreed on Tuesday.
But measures will be put in place to mitigate the noise impact to residents on Sundays.
The developer of the site, SIC children’s services, applied to increase the original six-day working to seven, proposing to start work at 9am on Sundays. Environmental health expressed concerns about this, and the times were subsequently changed to a 10am start and 4pm finish time. These times were unanimously approved by the planning committee.
A statutory consultation about Sunday working has been carried out with residents and no representations against the proposal have been received. Lerwick Community Council also had no objection.
Planning chief Iain McDiarmid said rock breaking and compressor work could be done on Sunday, but would belimited to certain areas of the site. He added there was “no option” other than to take the contractor’s word about this, and enforcement action could be taken if necessary.
Project manager Trevor Smith said the noise would not exceed 60 decibels, and monitored with noise-sensitive receptors place next to nearby homes. He added that rock-breaking would go on for six months.
Mr Smith said the project was now approaching “financial closure” with technical, legal and financial agreement close to being reached with partners Hub North Scotland and Scottish Futures Trust.
Work on the site’s surrounding paths and a new roundabout is already taking place, and Mr Smith said he hoped it would be possible to “mobilise the main contractor as soon as practicable”.
The “target date” is the end of May, and he said: “We’re working hard to reach it.”
He added that he was “expecting a heavy involvement of local contractors” in the site and ground works preparing the site for the main contractor.
One of the main benefits of the extended work, which will add 15 per cent of working time per week, is that it will reduce the construction period by up to 15 weeks, according to the planning application. It will mean the bulk of the earth work will be completed by September, and work involving specialist plant such as cranes can be done before the winter. Mr Smith said: “One of the benefits [of longer working] is that it will take advantage of the weather and longer daylight hours.”

Residential Stamp Duty Rules On Second Homes
The specialist conveyancing team here at Bartletts is renowned for buying, selling and transferring property with a minimum of fuss. We are experts at advising on stamp duty liabilities.
Since 1st April 2016, property buyers in England and Wales are obliged to pay an extra 3% above the current rates in Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on purchases of additional residential properties - classified as any property that is not the buyer's main residence - with a value above £40,000.
The legislation aims to make it easier for first-time buyers to get on the housing ladder by increasing the stamp duty bills of buy-to-let landlords and purchasers of second homes. It is also intended to boost the government's affordable housing budget, and slow the rapid growth of the often controversial buy-to-let industry.
New: The UK government has extended the temporary stamp duty holiday on the first £500,000 of all property sales in England and Northern Ireland by a further 3 months until the end of June 2021 (it was due to end on 31st March). This also applies to second home buyers, although the extra 3% of stamp duty charged under the previous rules will still need to be paid.

Fighting Layer [ファイティングレイヤー] Game Sample - Arcade...Vysethedetermined2

The core gameplay shares various similarities with SFEX, allowing characters to chain super special moves into other super special moves, utilize guard-crushing attacks, and perform moves in the typical fighting fashion, but the game also utilizes "Blow Quits" (deflection attacks) and a little more of the 3rd dimension as stages have boundaries, some attacks utilize the fighting stage, and sidesteps / safe falls increase the pace of the gameplay. The graphics aren't particularly impressive for their time, but the speed of the game, goofy elements (such as the ability to punch a tiger, stab a knight, use karate on a shark, etc.) a few original characters helps a game like this that would otherwise get lost in the shuffle. The game also has three time-released hidden characters and a few challenges for skilled players such as two alternate final bosses (a harder version of the main boss and a "True Lance Knight"). The music is pretty nice.
The story is not very clear, but characters band together in a mysterious fighting tournament navigating different layers of the "South Islands" and hear rumors of a incredibly strong warrior who may be anything but human. Each character has their (TINY) personal reason for wanting to join the tournament, such as Janis in the video who is evading the police and is a total psycho who just lusts for bloodshed and carnage (red is her favorite color), Shang who hears about riches to boost his family business, and things of that nature.
This is a video of the game in action. Enjoy.

DocumentaryDoes God really condemn loving homosexual relationships? Is the chasm separating Christianity from gays and lesbians too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? These questions and more are answered in this award-winning documentary, which brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture – and reveals that religious anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a misinterpretation of the Bible. Through the experiences of five very normal, Christian, American families – including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson – we discover how people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child or family member. Offering healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity, this landmark film “boldly takes on a loaded topic and examines it both intellectually and emotionally; the result may well leave you blinking away a few tears.” - Seattle Times.
ThrillerTwo young women discover the power of sex to get what they want in the male-dominated business world. Nathalie, a performance artist-stripper, instructs her new friend, the beautiful but inexperienced Sandrine, on the art of seduction. Without delay, they put their skills to use at a Parisian bank, where both rise to the top. But they meet their match in the ruthless son of the bank's president - a vain, unbridled, power hungry monster.
DocumentaryThis is a remarkably revealing documentary about Robert Crumb, the creator of such underground comics as "Fritz the Cat." Director Terry Zwigoff, an old friend and colleague, links the hilariously rendered and rather peculiar obsessions of Crumb's graphic work to the artist's fantastically dysfunctional family.
DocumentaryPrepare to go on a dizzying journey around the world – from the streets of Northern California to the mud huts of Africa; from the underground church in China to the Gypsies in Eastern Europe – you will be challenged and encouraged by the extraordinary things God is doing in our world today. Born out of filmmaker Darren Wilson's personal journey of two years and hundreds of hours of footage, Finger of God will show you a world you never knew existed. A world of hope and courage. A world where God's fingerprints are found in the unlikeliest of places.
DocumentaryBuying Sex looks at the contentious debate over pending reforms to Canadian prostitution laws, and in the process asks us to rethink and review our attitudes toward the “oldest profession,” a.k.a. the “oldest oppression.” This feature film by directors Teresa MacInnes and Kent Nason brings forward the voices of sex workers who support law amendments, formerly prostituted women who want abolition, policy-makers, lawyers and even the male buyers. All agree that they want to improve the workers’ safety, but they have polarized philosophies about how that can be best achieved. To show all sides of this multi-layered issue, the filmmakers take us to two countries that have made groundbreaking reforms: Sweden, with its recently adopted, feminist-based zero-tolerance law, and New Zealand, with its decriminalization model.
Special InterestJorge Mario Bergoglio is the first Jesuit Cardinal and Latin American to be consecrated Pope of the Catholic Church. On March 13, 2013, the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires and now Pope Francis made history by being elected to replace Benedict, who stepped down in abdication. In his first address as Pope, Francis humbly asked: "And now let us begin this journey, Bishop and people. A path of brotherhood in love, of mutual trust. Pray for us always, and for one another. Let us pray for the whole world, that there might be a great sense of brotherhood. And now I would give the blessing, but first I want to ask you a favor. Before the Bishop blesses the people, I ask that you pray for the Lord to bless me. The prayer of the people for their Bishop. Let us say this prayer - your prayer for me - in silence". In this important work is a documentary that exposes the keen thinking and humility that guides the life of Francis, his simple lifestyle close to the village, and his deep knowledge of t

There, in the rugged mountains, they must convince Northern Alliance General Dostum (Navid Negahban) to join forces with them to fight their common adversary: the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. In addition to overcoming mutual distrust and a vast cultural divide, the Americans——accustomed to state-of-the-art warfare——must adopt the rudimentary tactics of the Afghan horse soldiers. But despite their uneasy bond, the new allies face overwhelming odds: outnumbered and outgunned by a ruthless enemy that does not take prisoners.

DramaDirector Stanley Kubrick rips the skin from the face of war to expose the dehumanizing effect of the military on the people fed to its emotional meat grinder in Full Metal Jacket. Through the eyes of an 18-year-old recruit--from his first days in the seeming hell of Marine Corps boot camp as his superiors try to strip of him his individuality and re-create him as a Marine, to the hell of the 1968 Tet offensive, Kubrick reveals the damage done to the collective human soul by the inhumanity of war.

DramaIt's the song that brings ultimate hope to so many…often in the midst of life's most challenging moments. Amazingly, the song was written by MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard.

He leaned into an active imagination and his love of music as escapes from a troubled home life. As he grew older, Bart turned to football in hopes of somehow connecting with his abusive father.

In his quest to liberate England from its oppressive ideological chains, "V" recruits a young woman (Natalie Portman) he's rescued from the secret police to join him on an epic adventure to execute a seemingly impossible task.
DramaProducer David O. Selznick’s acclaimed screen adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling novel tells of the romance between the tempestuous Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) and the dashing Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), against the tragic backdrop of the Civil War. This legendary classic earned 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, (Leigh) Best Director (Victor Fleming), and Best Supporting Actress to Hattie McDaniel, the first Oscar ever awarded to an African American performer. One of the highest-grossing films of all time (when adjusted for inflation), it is also very much a product of its time, and unfortunately reflects depictions of characters and themes which are offensive and problematic when viewed by contemporary audiences. The film is presented here as originally released in 1939, because to do otherwise would be the equivalent of stating the prejudices and attitudes never existed.

Special InterestFilmmaker Spike Lee, star Denzel Washington (the New York, Boston and Chicago Film Critics' choice as 1992's Best Actor) and other talents vividly portray the life and times of the visionary leader. "One of the decade's best and most important films." (Arch Campbell, WRC-TV/Washington D.C.) One of the most charismatic and politically controversial voices in history, Malcolm X burst into the public consciousness with a radical perspective on race relations in America. His inspiring and enlightening ideologies touched and continue to influence the lives of millions. The New York Film Critic's Circle awarded Denzel Washington Best Actor for his role in what Newsday calls "an extraordinary movie...powerful and compelling. Denzel Washington's performance is a tour de force!"
DocumentaryPrepare yourself for an unparalleled sensory experience. SAMSARA reunites director Ron Fricke and producer Mark Magidson, whose award winning films BARAKA and CHRONOS were acclaimed for their combining visual and musical artistry. SAMSARA is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever turning wheel of life” and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives. Filmed over a period of almost five years in twenty-five countries, SAMSARA transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, SAMSARA subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern.
DocumentaryA specter is haunting America—the specter of socialism. At first glance, this seems incredible. The twentieth century is seen as the century in which capitalism defeated socialism. Socialist regimes collapsed around the world. Today socialism is confined to failing societies such as Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela. Yet leading candidates and media figures are enthusiastic about moving America toward socialism. They have a raft of proposals for doing this: Medicare for all, universal basic income, free college, and the Green New Deal. This movie will expose the ideology and tactics of the new socialism. It will explain the temptation of socialism—an age of abundance in which we all get something for nothing—and show why the socialist society is a mirage. Socialism produces deprivation, conformity, and tyranny. More than a critique of socialism, the movie will also make a moral defense of capitalism and show how capitalism, not socialism, is the best way to have prosperity and soc
DocumentaryIn the vein of "Supersize Me," Damon Gameau becomes a human guinea-pig when he puts himself through a grueling 6 week diet consuming the equivalent of 40 teaspoons of sugar a day...the average daily amount consumed by teenagers! This bold, colourful and entertaining film explores all things "sweet" and exposes the damage that fructose (processed sugar) is doing to a generation of addicts.
DramaClint Eastwood's big screen version of the Tony Award®-winning musical tells the story of the four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic '60s rock group The Four Seasons. Their trials and triumphs are accompanied by the hit songs that influenced a generation, and are now being embraced by a new generation of fans through the stage musical.
Action & AdventureRisen is the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer.

DocumentaryFor more than 20 years the CIA used psychic abilities in a top-secret program. You paid for it; you deserve to know about it. A psychic spy program developed during the Cold War escalated after a Stanford Research Institute experiment publicized classified intel. As a result, the highly successful work of physicist Russell Targ was co-opted by the CIA and hidden for decades due to the demands of ‘national security.’ But when America’s greatest psychic spy dies mysteriously, Targ fights to get their work declassified; even if it means going directly to his former enemies in the Soviet Union to prove the reality of ESP to the world at large. Revealed for the first time, this is the newly declassified true story of America’s psychic spies. The implications of their success show us all what we are truly capable of – now there can be no more secrets.
DocumentaryThe underground documentary that became a massive grassroots success, FRESH is the embodiment of the good food movement. FRESH outlines the vicious cycle of our current food production methods, while also celebrating the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are reinventing our food system, from a basketball player and former-executive-turned-urban-farmer to a poetic prophet of the fields who tells us: "We can raise everything we need without any of the industrial food system." Director Ana Joanes takes her camera coast to coast and explores the lives of amazing Americans who are redefining the way we eat and how we live. FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur's 2008 Genius Award, sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and supermarket owner, David Ball, who continues to challenge our discount superstore-dominated economy.

DocumentaryNarrated by Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects, Vanity Fair, Miller's Crossing), this seven-time Best Documentary award-winning film (Silver Lake Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival) is the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind's relationship with death ever captured on film. Hailed by many viewers as a "life-transformational film," Flight from Death uncovers death anxiety as a possible root cause of many of our behaviors on a psychological, spiritual, and cultural level. Following the work of the late cultural anthropologist, Ernest Becker, and his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Denial of Death, this documentary explores the ongoing research of a group of social psychologists that may forever change the way we look at ourselves and the world. Over the last twenty-five years, this team of researchers has conducted over 300 laboratory studies, which substantiate Becker's claim that death anxiety is a primary motivator of human behavior, specifically aggression an

Melbourne blues super group, Three Kings brings together a trio of this country’s most dedicated, authentic blues artists, with down and dirty, totally inspiring results.
Officially formed in 2011 by Ian Collard (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Benny Peters (vocals and guitar), and Jason Liu Soon (drums), Three Kings’ self titled debut album took out the award for best blues CD in The Age Victorian music awards only a fortnight after release. The album entered the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart at number two before shooting up to first place.Their 2nd “Here It Is” released in 2015 followed suit receiving rave reviews.
Three Kings’ hard-hitting, greasy blues style takes you on a dangerous joy ride through the back roads and juke joints of American music history, combining the sounds of artists like Kid Thomas, John Lee Hooker, Slim Harpo and Jerry McCain with their own original spin.
Collard and Peters are well known for their own combos, Collard Greens and Gravy and Benny and the Fly By Niters, as well as other line-ups and both have played to appreciative USA and European audiences. Liu Soon has supplied the beats for Chris Wilson and The Detonators. Together the tight knit trio rocks hard and blue.

September 21, 2010
A new meta-analysis found that the top-selling supplements for osteoarthritis—glucosamine and chondroitin—don’t work. However, natural products industry experts criticize the research methodology and conclusions of the study, which was published online in the British Medical Journal.
“It’s a rehashing of prior research,” said Daniel Fabricant, PhD, acting director of the Natural Products Association-China. “Any time you do that, it’s an art and science. There are ways of looking at outcomes to produce another outcome.”
Andrew Shao, PhD, senior vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs for the Council for Responsible Nutrition, said the analysis suffers from several specific limitations: The researchers used studies with less than 100 subjects as well as those using lower doses of glucosamine and chondroitin; they used only 10 studies, “conveniently excluding a large portion of the evidence base,” according to Shao; and the studies were too dissimilar to combine.
Fabricant said the study “doesn’t add a whole lot of value, which is a bit disappointing.”
In the study, researchers concluded that “health authorities and health insurers should not cover the costs for these preparations, and new prescriptions to patients who have not received treatment should be discouraged.”
But Fabricant disagreed. “Glucosamine and chondroitin have a great track record for safety,” he said. “Although research has been conflicting, a large part of the population suffers from osteoarthritis, and it seems that following the researchers’ recommendation would be turning our backs on the folks that need it most.”
According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, and millions more have low bone mass (called osteopenia), placing them at risk for osteoporosis and broken bones.
Shao said that even if some research has been conflicting, glucosamine and chondroitin “seem to be a better choice for consumers relative to a drug alternative,” none of which has been shown to effectively treat osteoarthritis.
“The majority of published studies involving glucosamine and/or chondroitin are positive,” Shao said. “Furthermore, both glucosamine and chondroitin are approved drugs for osteoarthritis in various countries in Europe. This surely would not be the case if they were ineffective.”
And, Shao added, consumers seem to be voting with their wallets. From May 2009 to May 2010, glucosamine and chondroitin combinations sold more than other supplements in the osteoarthritis category at $10.8 million in the natural channel (excluding Whole Foods Market) and $274.9 million in the conventional channel (excluding Wal-mart), according to Schaumburg, Ill.-based market research firm SPINS. Glucosamine supplements alone sold $4.5 million in the natural channel and $43.3 million on the conventional channel during the same period.
“The bottom line for consumers is that overall the evidence indicates that glucosamine, chondroitin or the combination is effective for improving mobility and joint discomfort in osteoarthritis patients, while also demonstrating a strong safety profile,” Shao said. “Consumers should continue to feel confident in choosing glucosamine and chondroitin.”

3 Cost-Effective Enterprise Servers To Consider in 2023
If you run any digital enterprise, you’ll know the importance of enterprise servers to run your operation smoothly. Investing in the right bit of tech can make the difference between an operation running like a well-oiled machine versus an operation that struggles to keep up with customer demands.
Part of providing exemplary service to your customers has the tech to do so. But in 2023, there are many different server options to choose from. That begs the question, what do you choose?
Today’s article will cover a range of enterprise-grade servers ideal for business operations. We’ll cover various server types for operations of all scales to ensure there’ll be a good option for everyone to consider.
Let’s begin with the following:
HP Proliant DL380 Gen 10 Server
Developed by HP, the Proliant line of servers is responsive, robust, and very cost-effective for the hardware they house.
Generally, only the generation 9 and generation 10 servers are worth buying into in this day and age – for these servers offer plenty of opportunity to scale your operation in the future if need be.
Their generation 10 servers, such as the DL380, are impressive machines designed to tackle even the most complex workloads for large operations.
A mid-to-high-level option for a Gen10 server boasts the following specifications:
- Two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs (10 Cores, 2.2GHz clock speed)
- HP iLO4 Standard Remote Access feature
- Two Dual Redundant Power Supplies (PSUs)
- 64GB DDR4 RAM (supplied in 4x16GB modules)
- HPE Smart Array P408i-a RAID controller
- HP Ethernet 1 Gb 4-port 331i Adapter (embedded into the machine)
- Two 600GB SAS HP Enterprise Class hot-swap hard drive disks (10,000 RPM, 6Gbps, 2.5”)
- X8 way backplane (can handle up to 8 x 2.5” drives, SAS, SATA or SSD)
These specifications can easily handle a broad range of different operations required for medium to large enterprises. As such, they come with an appropriate but fair price tag of around £2,700 – £3,250 per server.
If you already have hard disk drives compatible with a DL380 Gen10, then you can save a few hundred depending on the configuration of the DL380 you choose.
HP Proliant ML350 Gen 10 Server
Another solid choice for your enterprise is the ML350 variant of the HP server from generation 10 – which comes as a tower unit rather than as a rackmount chassis. Much like the DL380, this machine is ideal for medium to large-scale operations as its capabilities offer any enterprise plenty of power for current and future demands.
The entry-level, lower end of the ML350 range features the following specifications:
- Two Intel Xeon Silver 4112 2.6Ghz Quad-Core CPUs
- 8 x 600GB SAS HP Enterprise Class hot-swap hard drive disks (10,000 RPM, 6Gbps, 2.5”)
- 64GB DDR4 RAM (4x16GB modules)
- HPE Smart Array P408i-a RAID Controller
- HP iLO5 standard remote access system
- HPE Ethernet 1Gb Quad Port 369i Adapter
- x8 way backplane that can support 8 x 2.5” drives (SAS, SATA, SSD)
- x2 Dual Redundant Power Supplies
This kind of server is a great option for those who need a standalone server for in-house or client use and don’t already have a rackmount server setup (and prefer tower servers).
A server such as this costs in the range of £2,700 – £3,300.
Dell PowerEdge T130 Tower Server
A more entry-level friendly server is the Dell T130, designed for smaller-scale enterprises or SMEs that require a small in-house server for their internal networking. Its modest price and impressive capabilities make it a popular choice with specifications such as:
- An Intel Xeon E3-1270 v5 Quad-Core 3.6Ghz CPU
- Two 1TB SATA Dell Enterprise Class cabled hard drive disks (7,200 RPM, 6Gbps, 3.5” form factor)
- 8GB DDR4 RAM (2x4GB modules)
- iDRAC8 Basic License (remote access)
- PERC S130 Raid Controller (software) exclusively for SATA Drives
- Single Fixed Power Supply
- Broadcom 5720 1 Gbps Dual Port Network Integrated Card (with two ports)
- x4 way backplane (supports up to 4 x 3.5” SATA or SSD cabled drives)
All these features can be available to your enterprise for between £390 – £470.
Choosing a server to implement for your in-house internal network or expand your capabilities of hosting client files is challenging.
Choosing a server just right for your current needs may quickly become overused when your business goes through a growth phase. Equally, overspending on a server where you’ll likely not even use 20-30% of its functions is not a good choice either.
Assessing your current and future needs is essential to picking the right server for your enterprise.
As a last note, always check compatibility before committing to a purchase.

For Baseball & Softball Coaches That Want To Make A Difference ⚾
Exclusive Mini Course Reveals The Eight Foundational Keys You Need To Develop Youth Hitters… Even If You Have No Background In Biomechanics!
From: The Farm System
The Leaders In Making Player Development Content Digestible
If you’d like to learn the information that the most elite baseball and softball programs are using to train their players, while also being equipped to implement these methods to help players of all ages to hit harder and move better.. and do it without having to get a biomechanics degree… here’s how we are doing it and how you can too.
Here’s the story:
Our names are Joey Cunha and Beau Kallas.
We’re the founders of The Farm System Baseball Podcast and we’ve been fortunate enough to learn and coach alongside some of the leaders in player development. Our client list includes many MLB teams, professional, collegiate, high school and youth athletes. We’ve worked with thousands of players of all ages, implementing the exact foundational blocks that are included in this Mini Course.
Here’s why this is important for you:
As a youth coach, you wear many hats.
You’re the accountant, police officer, coffee shop owner, construction worker or our favorite, Dad. You’re charged with the responsibility of teaching the next generation hard work, discipline, competitiveness.. while managing the overall success of your team.. and ensuring the development of each individual player. You have time constraints, outside commitments, budgets, and limited staff. You know your players deserve the latest methods in coaching and development, but you wonder, “Where do I even start?”
What’s worse, with the “data revolution” in baseball…
It’s hard to know where to turn when you’re trying to add to your coaching tool box.
You want a foundation of what you need to know about human movement & performance to get you up to speed AND put you ahead of everybody else.
Introducing our new video coaching mini-course:
This course is designed with you in mind… to quickly bring you up to speed with the latest research, but in simple terms that can be understood by any coach, even if you’ve never so much as read an article on biomechanics!
(And if you’re already somewhat versed in the science of the swing and biomechanics, this course will help you connect the dots between the old school methods with the new school innovations)
Here’s a sneak peak of whats inside:
A Farm System caveat: you’re not just going to get the information. It’s our goal to equip every coach with the tools to create change in their players. That’s why we’ve included our nine bullet proof drills that we use with our highest level clients. Combine these with the information you’ll learn in the course and we guarantee you’ll see tremendous change in your training sessions.
Here’s The Deal 👇
We have taught these same principles found in this course to players, coaches and organizations all over the country. They paid thousands to learn these concepts. We’ve condensed the information into an easily digestible & implementable course that is made up of our primary beliefs and building blocks.
Today, you won’t need to invest thousands…
You don’t even need to pay $100.
You can get unlimited, lifetime, instant access to The Farm System’s Essentials To Hitting Course & Our Nine Bullet Proof Drills For
$110 Free When You Join The Farm+.
Simple as that.
This is your opportunity to learn state-of-the-art coaching principles being used by our big league clients at a fraction of the cost.
Don’t miss it!

COMA is pleased to present a viewing room of new body work by JD Reforma, currently included in the group presentation ‘Like a Wheel That Turns: The 2022 Macfarlane Commissions‘ at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) in Melbourne, Australia, continuing through 4 September 2022.
Fibre optics; an intranet of virtue is an installation encompassing 85 paintings – canvases handmade from raw coconut fibres and individually painted with text. These texts reveal the intersections of thought that weave throughout my practice, while also reframing the dominance of European frameworks of materiality in contemporary painting practice. An aphorism is defined as a ‘pithy observation’ – it is this ‘pith’ that I aim to underline in these works, an enmeshing of material and idea.
The canvases are produced through a felting technique that I have developed through ongoing experimentation with coconuts, and the various raw materials into which they may be distilled – shell, meat, and husk. I’m interested in coconuts because of their anthropomorphic qualities – as well as having a ‘face’, they also contain meat, pores, hair and bone. I’m also drawn to their itinerant materiality – as a species, they float via ocean and sea and establish new territories – they are both a colonising force and a diaspora. Felting is a way of alluding to the networks, roots, and rhizomes laid and traced by these migrations. Enmeshed and entwined, the individual coconut fibres create a surface, a plane, that imitates canvas while foregrounding its texture and porosity.
The texts that appear on these canvases are reflections on power, class, and race, but also the ennui, precarity, and fatigue that is both the material and byproduct of these discourses. Others are more abstract: unrelated, unrefined, unfinished thoughts and ideas. I’ve collated them throughout my practice – from movies, books, televisions shows, social media, conversations, observations, everywhere – and dutifully recorded them in a notes file on my phone. Here I’ve reassembled them into diptychs, triptychs, lines and grids, that may be read simultaneously as thoughts, constellations and sentences.

Thanks for speaking your mind on this vase with attitude! There is definitely a resemblance between this vase and some teenagers we know.
Although this handmade house is intended for our polka-dotted bug friends,there’s no way to guarantee a spider won’t move in and get cozy. Keep in mind, this does go outside, and spiders need love, too! (They also eat mosquitoes!)
We’re looking forward to the holidays, too. But don’t worry, Autumn, its almost…autumn. So, the holiday season is coming soon, and so are the results on these Nutcracker Soaps.

Last November, Joanne Wilson was named Legal PA of the Year at SecsintheCity’s PA of the Year Awards 2019. Joanne is a Fellowship Member of the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs.
After the ceremony, SecsintheCity caught up with Joanne to learn more about her career to date and her current role at Hall Brown Family Law, plus the advice she has for aspiring Legal PAs.
How did you become a Legal PA?
I became a Legal PA quite by accident – but a very happy one. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I left school and back in the 1980s there was a government funded/subsidised scheme very similar to an apprenticeship called a “Youth Training Scheme” which placed school leavers in jobs on a very low subsidised wage. My mum was one of the YTS tutors, so after two weeks’ training on basic office skills with her, I was fortunate enough to be placed with a firm of high street solicitors not too far from home. I stayed training on the scheme with this firm for just under a year before I left at the age of 17 to join a large Manchester City Centre firm as PA to a Partner – this is the firm where I stayed for 28 years before leaving to embark on my present role at Hall Brown Family Law.
What’s great about your job at Hall Brown Family Law?
To be honest, I love every single aspect of my job at Hall Brown Family Law: the people, the culture, the endless chocolates. It has been the biggest learning curve of my life and I have surprised myself with just how much I have achieved in the last three and a half years. This is due to (a) being given the opportunity in the first place; (b) having enthusiasm and passion for the role; and (c) the trust, belief and ambiguity I have so fortunately been given by both James Brown and Sam Hall – this means the world to me!
What do you love about being a Legal PA?
The variety, quality and teamwork. I previously worked in various areas of law including commercial property, employment and corporate before deciding to settle in family law. Due to the fast-paced and litigious element of family law – not to mention the variety in terms of divorce, finances, children law, injunctions, abduction, adoption etc – an uneventful day in the office can turn very quickly into an emergency application to court which involves everyone in the office. As it is an emotive area of law, I love working in private client and assisting the fee earners to help our clients achieve a Rolls-Royce service and therefore the best outcome they could hope for and to move on in their personal lives as easily as possible.
You helped to set up the firm you currently work at. How did that come about, and how does it feel to work in a firm you’ve been a part of from the beginning?
I feel extremely privileged and proud to have been the first employee of Hall Brown. While I didn’t co-find Hall Brown, I was largely responsible for the physical setup of the office, not to mention the working practices, policies, the day to day running of the office and everything that this entails. I had previously worked with and got on very well with James Brown at my previous firm. He left in 2011 to go to another firm and then in 2016 I heard through the grapevine that he was setting up his own practice with another person. I contacted James and, after meeting him and Sam for a pizza lunch, the job was mine. It really was as simple as that. At that time, I was told that there would be about five people in total – not nearly 40!
Do you have any great stories from your time as a Legal PA so far?
On my very first day at the firm I worked in for 28 years, I (a) fell down the stairs and split my pencil skirt up to my knickers, (b) sent all my letters out without being checked and signed beforehand; and (c) set fire to my litter bin – those were the days when smoking was allowed in the office environment!
We represented a well-known musician who was ordered to provide a hair sample for drug and alcohol testing purposes. He arrived at the office with his head shaven. Needless to say, we had to take the sample from another part of his body – I threw the scissors away!
How did you find the interview process for the PA of the Year Awards?
I could not have felt more at ease during the interview process. I was extremely nervous at the start but within a couple of minutes felt like I was sat with my friends just having a cup of tea and a chat. It went so fast and I could not have wished for a more relaxed, friendly, engaging and encouraging interview. It was an utter delight.
Tell us about the night itself?
The venue was stunning. I have never been to The Ivy before and it surpassed all my expectations from the beautiful décor, the champagne reception and the goodie bag on the table to the food, drink and the engaging company. I had a wonderful evening from start to finish and felt like a superstar.
I don’t think I fully appreciated the gravity and high standard of nominees until the ceremony. I couldn’t believe that I had been shortlisted among them.
I was completely and utterly shocked when I won – I was made to feel so important, with everyone congratulating me, the photographer taking copious photos, the wonderful prizes and award and the assurance and examples I was given as to why I won. It was the classiest event I have ever attended and a night I will never forget.
How did your colleagues react to your win, and have you seen any lasting effects from what is a tough award to win?
I walked back in the office on the Friday to a standing ovation and round of applause from my colleagues. I will certainly be reminding both James and Sam of this when it comes to appraisal time.
What piece of advice would you give others for achieving success as a Legal PA or EA?
Learn as much as you can. If there is training on it, do it. You never know what this may lead to in the future, not matter how trivial you think it may be. It’s the small things that make the biggest difference.

To the toilet
If your physical limitations do not prevent it, you can use a ceiling motor with a body support to go to the toilet on your own.
Ideal for the toilet
A SureHands® Body Support is helpful for toileting independently because the fully unencumbered bottom and back region allows for easy access to clothing.
To the toilet with the assistance of a caregiver.
Handi-Move offers several solutions to put you on the toilet with the assistance of a caregiver - with minimal effort. It is possible with all Handi-Move Lift & Care systems, e.g. the Handi-Move mobile lifters and wall lifts combined with a Handi-Move sling.
The Hygiene Sling is suitable for all transfers and ideal for toileting. Sometimes referred to as a toileting sling, this model is especially designed with the bottom and lower back open to make toileting possible while in the security of a sling. This opening allows access so the clothing can be removed while the user is supported by the sling.

As for us, if we wish to form church, we need only to listen and respond to God who acts and speaks first.
Decades ago, I ranted and raved at the efficient, organized people who tried to carry out their own personal agendas within the Catholic Church. Yet I lacked the words to connect with these proactive Catholics who dismissed me as some sort of irrelevant, passive mystic. It seemed that I was the proverbial contemplative Mary type trying to reason with practical Martha types, all to no avail. I have literally given up on committees for years as a result, because the impasse is simply too frustrating.
“When God called Abraham this was His plan: form a people blessed by His love and who would bring His blessing to all the people of the earth. This plan has never changed and in Christ it reached its fulfillment and, still today, God continues this work in the church… I like to think that a synonym for being Christian is being men and women – a people – who always bless. Through their lives, Christians must always bless God and bless others….It’s a beautiful vocation.”
As Catholics ,we must always remind ourselves that God reveals Himself to us and we simply respond. When we recognize that it’s not all about us, we begin to develop a spirit of humility. Believing in revelation means that we are to be aware and responsive to God’s initiative, and we stop trying to build church on our own.

Since debuting in January 2011, “Shameless” has become one of Showtime’s most underrated hits. Now entering its fourth season, the series picks up a few weeks from where season three left off: The Gallaghers braving another brutal Chicago winter and waiting on the medical fate of their flawed, permanently pickled patriarch, Frank (William H. Macy). With Fiona (Emmy Rossum) in a stable job and relationship, and Lip (Jeremy Allen White) enrolled in college, can the Gallaghers finally realize the middle class American dream?
In case you have yet to be exposed to the series, or are not ready to jump in with the heavy TV competition tonight, specifically “The Golden Globes,” you can always watch the episode for free right now (legally) on YouTube!
“Shameless” airs Sundays at 9:00 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ethanol produced in the United States has been the most economically competitive motor fuel in the world over the past four years and has played an important role in reducing consumer fuel costs, according to a new analysis released today by the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA).
The analysis, conducted by ABF Economics, examined actual wholesale prices paid for ethanol, gasoline, and alternative octane sources in several key U.S. and world markets in the 2010–2013 timeframe. Based on the market data, the report concludes that “…U.S.-produced ethanol is an exceptionally competitive additive and fuel source…” and that “…U.S. ethanol has emerged as the lowest-cost transportation fuel and octane source in the world over the past several years.”
Commenting on the analysis, RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen said, “As proven by the recent boom in exports, American-made ethanol has evolved into the most cost-competitive transportation fuel and octane source in the world. Through rapid technology adoption and innovation, U.S. producers have proudly earned the distinction of being the global leader and low-cost producer of clean-burning, renewable ethanol.”
“Despite the fact that ethanol offers greater consumer choice at a lower cost, entrenched petroleum companies continue to erect barriers that deny access to larger volumes of renewable fuels,” Dinneen continued. “In a truly free market, consumers would always choose a fuel that is produced domestically, is better for the environment and climate, and costs much less than gasoline. Unfortunately, free markets only exist in textbooks, underscoring the need for monopoly-breaking policies like the Renewable Fuel Standard.”
The ABF Economics study found that even after accounting for transportation costs to the reference markets of Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, “The ‘spread’ between ethanol and RBOB [gasoline] has averaged 30 to 40 cents per gallon over the past four years in these three key markets, and the difference averaged more than 60 cents per gallon in 2012.”
As a result of this cost differential, “…ethanol blended with RBOB to produce reformulated gasoline at a 10 percent (E10) blend has reduced the cost of motor fuel to consumers.” Importantly, the author notes that ethanol’s impact on gas prices goes far beyond the wholesale price spread: “This does not include the additional downward impact ethanol has on gasoline prices as a result of extending supplies and reducing demand for crude oil.”
U.S. ethanol isn’t just outcompeting gasoline on price—it is also outperforming ethanol from other key exporting countries, like Brazil. According to the report, “…even with depreciation of the real, U.S. ethanol has been more cost competitive than Brazilian ethanol in key U.S. and world markets over the past several years.” This has particular relevance in the California market, according to the study, because that state’s fuel policies strongly compel fuel suppliers to import Brazilian ethanol in lieu of U.S. ethanol. “Use of Brazilian ethanol in place of U.S. ethanol theoretically raised the price of E10 for California consumers by 8 cents per gallon over the past four years,” the study found.
In closing, the study indicates that the competitiveness of U.S. ethanol will only improve in the future: “This competitive advantage is expected to increase further, as U.S. ethanol and feedstock producers adopt new technologies and crude oil prices continue to trend higher.”
The full report, titled “The Economic Competitiveness of U.S. Ethanol,” is available here.

By Second Grade Teacher Julie Stewart
Anytime a class set of items enters a classroom, there needs to be an organized method to monitor them. I realized that our new tablets could be managed just as easily as anything else in my classroom. I would just use the classroom student identification numbers I assigned the students on the first day of school. This would ensure that each student would always get their own tablet. (I will let you know why this is so important to me in a later post.) I made labels with their last names and ID numbers. I took a photo of each box with their last name and number. I then attached the labels to the back of the Nexus 7 tablets. After attaching the label to the tablet, I took a simple colored dot with the ID number written on it and attached that to the box. (This was cheaper than using label tape!) This allowed me to store the boxes and remember which tablet belonged with which box and have a file stored with this information. Beth and I also opted to leave the clear plastic film on the tablets to help protect the screens for as long as possible. We figured that this was better than nothing for the time being. We shall see how long this packaging film lasts as our cheap screen protector!
After getting the tablets marked with ID numbers and handed out to their new owners, we were finally ready to get started! I gave the students a brief overview of the Nexus 7, how to turn it on, and basic care and handling. Since the students had already set-up their Google accounts the week before the tablets arrived, it was so simple to have them enter their information after turning them on. Oh, there were a few who had to try it a couple of times, but it really was easier than I thought it was going to be. The only minor glitch was when it came to the step where the wireless security code needed to be entered into the tablets to allow for an internet connection. I realized that I had to put that information into each tablet myself! It happened to be our lunch and recess time, so I was able to get it all done by the time the students got back to class. Needless to say, they were pretty happy that I had every tablet ready to go. Their excitement was pretty high at this point.
After all of the start-up steps were completed, they were ready to take their tablets for a test drive. The first thing they wanted to do was visit was Google Earth! It was a simple and easy first task. Their first couple of stops on their virtual trip was their house and our school. Then one of the students suggested that we visit different countries. It was not long before most of them were gathered around the world map in our classroom and found the places they wanted to see. By the end of the class period, I believe that every continent had been visited by my classroom travelers. This proved to be a very exciting virtual field trip. I think the most exciting moment that I captured in a photo was when two students found out that they could visit Paris! It was a great teacher and student moment!
We definitely had a great first lesson with our new tablets. Our test drive was a huge success!

Brian Horton is a senior political science and French major from San Angelo.
Two Texas Tech University debate team members turned in the best performance by the team in two years, winning the University of Wyoming’s Top of the Rockies parliamentary debate tournament held Oct. 3-4 in Laramie, Wyo.
Brian Horton, a senior political science and French major from San Angelo, and Adam Testerman, a junior mass communications major from Springfield, Mo., have won 23 debates and have lost four, which is the best record in the nation.
As a whole, the Texas Tech parliamentary debate team was the top squad at the Wyoming tournament.
“This is one of the finest tournaments we have had in the four years I have been the coach of this team,” said Joe Gantt, director of forensics. “Brian and Adam proved that they are among the best teams in the nation, and our entire squad proved that there is a lot of depth to our program. There is a lot to be proud of both in the present successes and for what lies ahead in the future.”
At Top of the Rockies, the pair compiled wins over Northern Arizona University, Rice University and the Colorado College before defeating a team from the University of Colorado-Boulder in the final round. Testerman was named top individual speaker at the tournament, while Horton came in third.
The pair already had shown themselves to be among the top teams in the nation by finishing second this September at a tournament at William Jewell College.
The Texas Tech team last won the Wyoming tournament in 2007 and went on to win the national championship the following March.
The university’s varsity teams backed up Horton and Testerman’s victory with impressive showings of their own, as teams of Nicole Brown, a senior political science major from San Angelo, and Paul Williamson, a senior mass communications major from Crosby; as well as the sophomore team of Lauran Schaefer, a sophomore communication studies major from Sonora, and Cameron Harris, a sophomore political science major from Houston; advanced to elimination rounds of the tournament and were among the top 10 teams in the varsity division.
Adam Testerman is a junior mass communications major from Springfield, Mo.
While Texas Tech was the dominant squad at the varsity level, they also were the top team at the junior varsity level.
Alexandria Newsom, a sophomore English major from Forsan, and J.T. Seymore, a freshman communication studies major from Holliday, won the junior varsity division of parliamentary debate as well. Newsom and Seymore defeated teams from the U. S. Air Force Academy, Rice University and Utah State University before defeating a team from Louisiana Tech University in the final round.
This was the first-ever collegiate debate tournament for the duo. Also, it was the second straight tournament that Texas Tech junior varsity debaters had made it to finals, following the second-place performance of Matt Pippen, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Monahans, and Sean Riegert, a sophomore political science major from Houston, at the William Jewell College tournament.

Okay, thirteen. Let's call it what it is....THIRTEEN. Dreaded age. Horrible time of life. Arguably the toughest time ever for a girl until menopause. Argh, argh, argh! Riley is traversing the rough waters of this age right now, and I can say it's no picnic. Girls are mean spirited beings. Not to say they didn't used to be back in the day; they did. I went through it, too, but being from a class of 18 people with an average of 8-9 girls, you pretty much had to get over your disagreements and move on. In bigger schools, like we're in, you can just move on and you may never have to deal with that person again. I always wished I had more people in my class so I had other options to hang out with. Maybe it's hard either way, though. One thing I know for certain is; dog really is man's (or woman's) best friend. Hallelujah for the four legged creatures of the world! Cross your fingers that my daughter's 8th grade year is over soon, and say a little prayer for her, if you would. She could use some enlightenment right now and a reminder that all of this is just a blip on the radar of life. (They don't always believe it when their moms tell them this!) It makes me glad to be a woman of 38 years, with a few really close friends, a nice assortment of acquaintances, and no concern over what people think of my hair, clothes, etc. Let's hear it for middle age! Woo Hoo!

Retailers have spent the last decade trying to keep up with e-commerce by establishing digital platforms and investing in social media.

– Newly appointed M&S style director Belinda Earl tells us her intentions for the much-loved British brand (I’ve been in the presence of this lady and believe me ‘she means business’). ELLE.
I avoid the ‘so what do you do’ conversation like the plague. It always results in raised eyebrows and confused nods. Blogging can’t really be a career choice, can it? Well actually yes…. it may not make you rich but it can be a ‘real’ job. During a chat session last year about blogging, someone asked Liberty London Girl aka Sasha Wilkins “You make it sound like a full-time job…. how do fit it in with other things (like earning a living)?” To which the ever witty LLG replied “This IS my full-time job!” -enough said.
Slowly attitudes are beginning to change towards bloggers. It’s nice to be invited to shows and snapped for ‘street style’ edits but it’s only recently that brands (or those in charge of marketing) have really begun to appreciate the value bloggers offer. Yet bloggers seem to be infiltrating main stream fashion at every turn. Here’s a few examples of bloggers who are making their mark on the industry-
–Liberty London Girl seems a sensible place to start. Last week the queen of social media popped up on the BBC, commentating on Royal fashion at Ascot.
– This week Sophie Osborne (editorial assistant at A Girl, A Style) starts her internship with ELLE. Sophie will be Editor for the October Interns edition of ELLE magazine.
– Anna Hart the woman behind St Molton Street Style landed a role as marketing manager at Vestiaire Collective- a stylish role for a stylish lady.
So repeat after me… ‘Who run the world….. bloggers’
P.S Should point out that Sasha has commentated on Royal Ascot before in her previous role as editor before setting up LLG.

THE WORKS of Carlisle Floyd, the opera composer-librettist, do not have quite the crowd appeal of those of Pink Floyd, the rock group, but that doesn't mean he's not working on it.
Just a few weeks ago, for instance, his "Of Mice and Men," opening a three-week run at the Kennedy Center Tuesday, was given a series of free performances in the parks of Houston.
"I've never been in an audience like that," marveled Floyd, a courtly fellow seemingly not given to emotional excesses. "There were stevedore types, children hanging over the orchestra pit, people drinking beer wandering in and out.I don't know where they came from, but they seemed intrigued, absorbed."
All of which is just fine by Floyd, who feels "opera should be an enormous popular medium, it always was, and that doesn't mean pandering or prostituting one's art or whatever." Floyd even shies away from the word "opera," prefering to call his works musical dramas, "theatrically viable, musically rewarding," so as to stress the equality, the balance of the two components.
"Opera in this country has always been something of a hothouse flower; certainly not the girl next door, it carries some kind of a stigma," Floyd explains in a let's-face-facts tone. "There is a very large American audience of rather well-to-do upper-middle-class people who are very disaffected from opera. They like the symphony, art, film, but they're simply turned off to opera."
This lack of interest is rooted, Floyd feels, in the traditional realism of American popular culture, a realism that holds no truck with the plots of most operas. "Librettos often strain credulity, to say the least," Floyd says. "Some of those plots ought to be kept confidential."
Making all this even worse is the insistence of purists that operas always be given in their original language. "I'm doing everything in English," says Floyd stoutly. "You'll never find a composer who doesn't want his work understood. Even Strauss was appalled when he came over for the American premiere of 'Der Rosenkavalier' to find it was being done in German.
"You'd be annoyed beyond belief if you had to sit through a foreign film without dubbing or subtitles, yet people are glibly expected to sit still for three hours with only a vague idea of what's going on. It seems so needless to me.
In pushing to make opera "a more immediate kind of experience," Floyd must not only contend with the traditionalists, people who "aren't interested in anything but who the new singer in the new production is," but also with dissatisfaction from the other camp, the musical comedy audience that wants "nothing that smacks of anything serious."
"We have musical comedy, why shouldn't we have musical drama?" Floyd asks, not without reason. "Ninety per cent of Broadway composers, and I don't think of this as a putdown, are tunesmiths. They have great gifts for coming up with melodic lines, but they don't have the training to turn out an overall, compositional fabric. And something that requires emotional range is way outside the limits of where musicals can go."
Which is just about where "Of Mice and Men" comes in. Next to "Susannah" it's the most successful opera he's done, and Floyd says he was attracted to it initially because it was "a curious story. You take away from it a feeling of great tenderness, but it abounds in the kinds of violent situations that are the staff of opera. In the last act alone, there are two murders and a fight on stage."
Though the idea of putting "Of Mice and Men" into operatic form seems to give everyone a start when they first hear it, audience reaction has been keen. Floyd credits "an old Boston dowager," with his favorite words of praise, though "she didn't mean it as a compliment. 'I've been going to the opera for 50 years,' she said, 'And I never wept before.'"
To Carlisle Floyd, that's progress.

When I wake in the wee hours of the morning, I imagine those who came before me and let their love and prayers surround me. The beauty of love and prayers is that they never go away. Once prayed, a prayer lives on forever. My ancestors prayed for me, and I pray for my son, his family, and my grandchildren’s children and grandchildren. I believe in the power of prayer because I have felt its presence in my own life.
I’ve asked God thousands of times during the past thirty-five years to give His angels watch care over my son. I pray the same for his family, and will continue to pray for them as long as I am here and when I am with God. Christ is sitting at the right hand of God, His Father, praying for us. That is a humbling thought. Love and prayer join beautifully in the heart of a mother, father, grandparent, great-grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc.. God hears and holds each one of those prayers.
Hearts and lives are transformed by the prayers of angels and ancestors. I do not believe we become angels when we die. Angels are not humans who have passed into heaven; they are an entirely different entity, but I know they love and protect us because we are God’s children. I’m sure they are intrigued by humans. They celebrated Christ’s birth with abandon and showed themselves to the shepherds near Bethlehem because they could not contain their joy.
Angels and ancestors are not the same, but they do share a love for God and for us. I feel a connection with those who are still living, and I feel a connection to those who are with God. It brings me so much comfort to think about Benoni, Dice Ann, Flave, Anna, Jasper, Lilly Belle, mama, daddy, and all those who have paved my path with their prayers. I cannot imagine not having them in front of me on this journey, but if I didn’t have those dear ancestors, I would still have God, His Holy Spirit, and Jesus to pave the way for me. They are my ancestors thanks to Christ’s precious love, so I will never have to be alone.
When I woke at five this morning, I smiled and thanked the precious loved ones I knew and those I never met. I tell them I can’t wait to see them so we can watch the coming generations together. I plan to pray with all my heart now and in heaven. The call to pray is a powerful call. I used to think prayer wasn’t enough, but I’m learning it’s like putting money in the bank for those I love. The interest accumulates at a very high rate over the centuries, and the balance just keeps growing in my heart and in the hearts of those for whom I pray.

New from Down & Out Books …
THE DEVIL’S ANVIL by Matt Hilton
A Joe Hunter Thriller
Publication date: April 04, 2016
Synopsis … When ex-soldier Joe Hunter agrees to protect grieving mother, Billie Womack, on behalf of a DEA contact, it’s a pledge he will come to regret.
Her husband, Richard, was a thief. In a desperate attempt to escape his pursuers, Richard apparently died in a car crash, along with their daughter, Nicole. But the violent people chasing Richard think he escaped the plunge into the river canyon that killed Nicole: they want him … and the thirty million dollars he stole from them. And they think Billie knows where he is and that Richard will return for the money.
Soon Joe and Billie become fugitives, chased by relentless killers. Joe has no idea who he can really trust, but he’ll do everything in his power to save an innocent life. Richard’s fate means nothing to him, but protecting the grieving woman is a no-brainer for Joe Hunter, even if it means taking a bullet meant for her.
It’s a price he’ll pay, and come to regret, when he learns that killers shaped on the Devil’s anvil come in unexpected ways.
Praise for THE DEVIL’S ANVIL …
“There’s plenty of heart-in-the-mouth action, smart dialogue and convincing extras … give me Joe Hunter over Reacher any day.” — Crimereview.co.uk
“To sum up, ‘The Devil’s Anvil’ is a fantastic novel which is a welcome addition to an excellent series. 5/5.” — Crimesquad.com
“Fast paced, entertaining and very readable the story moves along at a frenetic pace … another great read.” — Milorambles.com

The Television Critics Association press tour is winding down to a close, and AMC recently held their panel and revealed tidbits on three of its original series. During the cable channel’s press panel, the network announced that its critically lauded flagship series Mad Men will finally return on March 25th. The series will have been off the air for almost a year and a half, but season five will kick off with a two-hour premiere that creator Matthew Weiner describes as a “Mad Men movie.” Hit the jump for more, including the premiere date of The Killing, when audiences will finally find out who killed Rosie Larson, and an episode extension for the third season of The Walking Dead.
The return of Mad Men is indeed fantastic news for fans of the series, but the network also announced that the polarizing crime drama The Killing will begin its second season on April 1st (the same return-date as HBO’s Game of Thrones). Many fans of the AMC series were disgruntled by the revolving door of red herring subplots and the fact that Rosie Larson’s killer was not exposed in the first season finale. AMC senior VP of programming, production, and digital content revealed that, after considering a number of options, the resolution of Rosie Larson’s killing will be unearthed in the finale of season two.
I wanted to love The Killing – and I quite enjoyed the first few episodes – but it’s not fun to be jerked around multiple times throughout one season. The creators seemed to be relying on the red herring aspect to carry the show, and I’m curious as to how they plan on stretching out the investigation over another season. I’m hopeful that they’ve taken into account some fans’ angry reactions and have some satisfying twists and turns planned, but I remain cautiously optimistic.
While shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad regularly show up on year-end lists and are big winners at awards shows, the drama series aren’t exactly ginormous ratings hits. AMC finally scored their first big commercial win with The Walking Dead, and following a stellar start (ratings-wise) to the second season, the network has decided to extend the season three episode order from 13 to 16 episodes. The show’s second season premiere broke the record for the most watched episode of a dramatic cable series in the coveted 18-49 demographic, and the audience’s hunger for the undead doesn’t seem to be waning. Despite a nasty firing of showrunner Frank Darabont in the midst of production on season two, ratings for the series continue to be up and the episode extension for season three shows that the AMC execs are very, very happy. Season two of The Walking Dead resumes on February 12th.

About the changes.... The 2006 s-type 126 was also tested in the german SURF magazine. All the boards in that test had the best possible rate for speed ( 15 points or something like that). However, the s-type had an extra point, which i have NEVER seen in any test before.
I guess they're just that fast
All the best

Meet The Afghan Artist Who Wants To Help Creators Free Themselves From The Taliban
Watching the images this summer of Afghans desperate to flee their country as U.S. troops left and the Taliban took over, Gazelle Samizay could relate.
Her family, too, fled Afghanistan, though they left decades ago at the height of the Soviet invasion of the country. After stops in France and the Washington, D.C., area, they settled in Pullman, Washington, where Samizay grew up before attending college at the University of Washington and earning a master’s degree in photography at the University of Arizona.
Today, she’s a San Francisco-based multimedia artist whose work in video and photography often traces itself back to her upbringing as an Afghan American immigrant. A photo series she took in 2005 during her first visit to Afghanistan attempted to humanize women in everyday life, beyond the images of them clad in burkas that have become so common. Samizay also deals with gender and culture more broadly and, as she says, “looks at what my identity as an Afghan American woman means in an Afghan context compared to an American context.” But she’s also branched in other directions, such as a project looking at Japanese American internment camps and the history of immigration and incarceration in America. She’s exhibited from California to New York and, internationally, in Italy and Brazil, among other places.
They’re pieces of work, she says, that would be near impossible to publicly show today if she was still living in the country where she was born. News reports have shown the Taliban destroying pieces of art and musical instruments, and many Afghans, including ones Samizay knows, have spent the last weeks in hiding in their homes in Kabul, she says, in fear that they will be targeted because of their artistic expressions.
"We see images of women in burkas but we don’t hear their stories. We see families suffering but don’t hear their stories. Artists in Afghanistan have spent years telling those stories. Now they need our help."
That’s why Samizay and a team of Afghan women have come together to fundraise tens of thousands of dollars to aid Afghan artists with basic everyday needs — food, shelter, and paying the bills — as well as possible plans to leave Afghanistan. Samizay, an organizing member with the Afghan American Writers and Artists Association, has so far helped raise nearly $40,000 through the organization to assist creatives in Afghanistan. They include theater makers, painters, filmmakers, and other artists in Kabul, Jalalabad, and other cities.
“We were initially trying to help people get out of the country and make it to the airport where U.S. evacuation flights were taking place. But those ended, so now we are trying to see if people can take other routes out of Afghanistan and, if not, help them feed and care for themselves and their families since they cannot work right now,” Samizay says.
On a website the Afghan American Writers and Artists Association uses for its fundraiser, artists give their testimonies.
"I'm the witness of the dark side of the last [regime of the] Taliban. … They don't like educated people; they don't like women. And most critically for me, they kill people who work as artists — whatever type of art, theater, cinema, singing, or something else. I am worried about my children's future if they kill me,” says one.
“Our employer stopped paying us and I don’t have any income. I don’t have anybody to help me. I’m just an artist like you, I’m sure you understand me. That’s why I’m asking for your help,” writes another.
Samizay says she hopes that the effort doesn’t only help Afghan artists make better lives for themselves during a trying time. She wants it to motivate Americans and those from other countries to learn more about Afghanistan and its people instead of relying on the images that appear from viral videos and headlines.
“As artists we try to tell the nuance in stories. With Afghanistan, it’s often seen simplistically as the U.S. being a savior and Afghans being these barbaric, backward people who maybe some believe aren’t worth investing in. But the real Afghan people get lost in these ideas,” Samizay says.
“We see images of women in burkas but we don’t hear their stories. We see families suffering but don’t hear their stories. Artists in Afghanistan have spent years telling those stories. Now they need our help.”

Remember "Olympus Has Fallen"? This one is worse.
In the sequel "London Has Fallen," Gerard Butler is once again Secret Service agent Mike Banning, sworn to protect President Ben Asher.
Asher's enemies laid waste to Washington, D.C. in the first film. This time, Asher decides to put the entire world in danger when he decides to attend a state funeral rather than just keep a low profile for a while. Sure enough, the angry survivor of an anti-terrorist drone attack (relevancy alert!) has a score to settle. And suddenly London erupts in explosions, assassinations and those cute little two-tone police sirens.
Like the first movie, "London Has Fallen" is basically a 9/11 revenge fantasy. Once again, Americans are attacked — and once again, we have a one-man Army (Butler) who doesn't just murder the enemy, but enjoys it.
Unlike the first film — which was directed by Antoine "Training Day" Fuqua — the new one can't keep track of the action. Director Babak Najafi's only idea is to cram the screen with dozens of men in ski masks shooting at each other.
There's no sense of who anyone is, or where, or even what's going on; the final, ludicrous battle has Banning telling some two-dozen hardened Special Forces guys to stand down while he goes into the terrorists' headquarters. Alone.
Meanwhile, back at the White House, useless politicians are played feebly by Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Jackie Earle Haley and Robert Forster. All they do is sit and shakily watch the whole thing unfold on a video feed.
It all ends eventually, but not before a lot of flagrant flag-waving and gratuitous sadism. At one point, Banning has a wounded terrorist on the ground. He digs a knife into his back and twists, slowly — holding a walkie-talkie close so the man's brother can hear the agonizing screams.
"Was that necessary?" the president asks.
"No," the agent calmly answers.

I don’t mean to greet you with this yucky creature on my blog LOL, but seriously, this is what we caught like 1 month ago after we came home from our CH Trip.
It has been going in and out of my house via the small gap of our sliding glass door. So one evening, it was attempting to come in but failed. So I thought, why not set the trap right at the small gap of the glass door. So we (my bro & me) hung a piece of biscuit in the trap, opened the trap door and had it facing out, so that if it tries to come in, it will run straight into it!!
Then we went for dinner. When we came home…VOILA!! We got 1…
Faythe freaked out when she saw this. But Vyktore (surprisingly) was all excited and claimed that he’s not scared. He even watched us KO it with hot water. I’m very brave right :P.
And guess what..after this, there were 1 more that was coming from the kitchen, to the car porch, using the same gap at the sliding glass door!! Arghhh…So I set the trap again, with a piece of oatmeal biscuit. Seriously, they are that hungry, it even bite our house cushion covers at one time when we were at overseas :(.
Left the trap for few days, nothing happen. But after a week, VOILA!! We’ve got 2!!! Am I that good or it’s pure greed :P.
2nd one died under the cold rain.
Since then, fingers crossed, so far no further sign of this thingy in the house.
Am I afraid? Nah…Mr. Hon feels afraid and geli, but not me. I can whack cockroaches with newspaper, catch mouse, what more eh LOL…but I feel very geli if it’s lizard..and the tail!!
Note: Promise that I won’t put this up for more than a week, if not you’d be thinking my blog had turned into a pest infested blog LOL

The FDA handed Italian devicemaker Canè S.p.A. a warning letter for not including a software validation procedure in a Form 483 response, after the agency determined that production of the Crono S-PID-50 infusion pump did not comply with current good manufacturing practices.
According to the July 29 letter, the company didn’t have a protocol for performing code testing on software used to control infusion pumps and didn’t document test results, including a list of software defects found during code testing.
The 483 and warning letter followed a Feb. 16 to 19 inspection of Canè’s Rivoli-Turino, Italy, plant.
The FDA also dinged Canè for failing to establish procedures for receiving and reviewing complaints. For example, 26 of 30 repair and maintenance report records of primary immunodeficiency pumps reviewed during the inspection stemmed from complaints, but there was no evidence the complaints were investigated or evaluated for MDR reporting. Canè’s corrective and preventive action procedures also were deemed inadequate, as they didn’t describe how the company would evaluate all sources of quality data to identify existing and potential nonconforming product.
The FDA chides the company for not establishing and maintaining adequate procedures for quality audits. The firm’s quality audit procedure requires auditors to be independent, but the firm allowed an assistant quality manager to audit an area without appropriate background or training to assess firmware verification or validations. The company’s 483 response failed to include an updated quality audit procedure, the letter says.

Double-State track champions Shae Anderson of Norco and Joseph Anderson of Upland are among those heading to Sacramento for the USA Track & Field Junior Championships.
The meet begins Thursday and runs concurrently with the USATF Outdoor Championships at Hornet Stadium at Sacramento State University.
Shae Anderson, the first girl in the 43-year history girls competed at the CIF-State meet to win the 400 and 300 hurdles in the same event, will focus on the 400 at Sacramento.
Joseph Anderson, a double CIF-State hurdles champion, will concentrate on the 110 high hurdles where he is the state record holder at 13.33 seconds.
The top two in each event at the Junior Championships qualify for the USA team for the Pan American Games (July 21-23 in Trujillo, Peru). Athletes must not turn 20 at any time in 2017 to be eligible for this event.
Shae Anderson, who holds the Riverside County record in both the 400 and 300 hurdles, set the 400 record of 51.99 seconds at the Mt. SAC Relays in April. She doubled in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 finals, Masters Meet and through consecutive days at the CIF-State finals despite a bout of bronchitis that, coupled with asthma, made breathing and training difficult.
“I’m feeling pretty good,” she wrote Tuesday in a social media exchange. “My bronchitis is definitely a lot better and I expect to PR this weekend. I have competition that has better times than me, so that will push me to a PR and also my goal is to qualify for (the Pan Am team).”
She has the No. 2 qualifying time among Juniors entered in her event. Qualifying is Friday and the final is Saturday.
Others with Inland ties scheduled to compete in the Junior event include Amanda Van Buren (a Vista Murrieta High graduate now at Oklahoma) in the 200, Destiny Longmire (Rancho Verde HS, now at San Jose State) in the long jump, and Anthony Easter (Roosevelt) and Cameron Samuel (Rancho Verde) in the 400 hurdles.
Easter, who is headed to UC Davis, and Samuel, who is headed to USC, essentially tied for second behind Anderson in the 300 hurdles at State in 36.34, equalling the No. 3 time in Riverside County history. Samuel and Easter also ran second and fourth, respectively, to Anderson at in the State 110 hurdles final, all three running PRs.
Samuel and Easter are stepping up to the college and international long hurdles distance to get a taste of what’s in store for their future.
Easter tweeted: “400 hurdles make ya want to quit track.” He later clarified that message in a social media conversation.
“Yes, I’m still running them!” he wrote. “The training is just a lot more different than normal but I am more than excited to take on the challenge! The tweets are just to reflect on how hard they really are.”
The Junior entry field also includes triple CIF-State champion Tara Davis (Agoura HS, headed to Georgia) in the 100 hurdles and long jump; State pole vault champions Tate Curran (Redondo Union) and Rachel Baxter (Anaheim Canyon); State discus throw champion Ashley Anumba (Los Osos headed to Penn); State high jump champion Sean Lee (Trabuco Hills); double State sprint medalist Jasmin Reed (Gardena Serra) in the 100 and 200, and State champion Zachary Shinnick (La Verne Damien) in the 400.
The Junior Championships run through Saturday. The Outdoor Championships extend through Sunday.
Among locals among the entries for the Outdoor Championships are USC’s Michael Norman (Vista Murrieta HS) in the 200 and 400; Brenda Martinez (formerly Rancho Cucamonga HS and UC Riverside) in the 800; Harvard’s Jade Miller (Great Oak HS) in the 400 hurdles; American high jump record holder and four-time Olympian Chaunte Lowe (North HS); Chris Benard (Corona Santiago HS) in the triple jump; Pac-12 discus champion Ryan Hunter-Simms (San Gorgonio HS/Oregon); Kayla Hopkins (Rancho Verde HS/Fresno State) and Whitney Ashley (North HS) in the women’s discus throw, and Redlands High grad Juanita Webster-Freeman in the heptathlon.
The Outdoor Championships serve to qualify the USA team for the 2017 IAAF World Championships, scheduled Aug. 5-13 in London.

The story of the New Testament canon is a fascinating one, with many twists and turns. There are books that were accepted very quickly, almost from the start (e.g., the four gospels), and there are other books that struggled to find a home (e.g., 2 Peter).
And then there is the book of Revelation.
Few today would contest the claim that the book of Revelation stands as one of the most controversial, complicated, and esoteric books in the New Testament canon. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that its reception by the early church was equally complicated and controversial.
But, the story of the book of Revelation is not what one might expect. Other debated books tended to have a lukewarm reception at the earliest stages, only to gain more and more acceptance over time. Revelation, on the other hand, had nearly the opposite experience; it had a very early and positive reception in many parts of the church, only to run into serious challenges at a later point.
Lately, I have been doing a good bit of research on Revelation’s canonical history in preparation for writing an academic piece on the subject. Here are a few highlights about Revelation’s journey:
1. Revelation’s early reception was Outstanding. Perhaps as much as any other NT book, we have evidence for an early, widespread, and consistent reception of Revelation. Our evidence goes back as early as Papias (c.125) and also includes Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, the Muratorian Fragment, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen. That is an impressive list.
In addition, it is worth noting that almost every one of these church fathers accepted the book of Revelation on the same grounds, namely the belief that the apostle John, the son of Zebedee was the author.
B.W. Bacon was so impressed with Revelation’s initial reception that he was able to say, “There is no book in the entire New Testament whose external attestation can compare with that of Revelation, in nearness, clearness, definiteness, and positiveness of statement” (The Making of the New Testament, 190).
2. Objections to Revelation were later and limited. Our first evidence of any real objection to the book of Revelation comes from the person of Gaius in the early third century who rejects the book on the grounds that it was a forgery of the heretic Cerinthus. Curiously, this is really the only specific objection were hear about from someone who rejected the book (most scholars agree that the so-called “Alogoi” mentioned later by Epiphanius is not a real group).
Dionysius of Alexandria, in the late third century, makes the argument that Revelation was written by another John besides the apostle. Eusebius appears to agree with him. But, it is worth noting that Dionysius does not reject the book on these grounds (despite the impression many give that he did), but still regards it as holy and inspired.
3. Objections to Revelation were Not Driven by Historical Matters. As we noted above, the main (and to some extent, the only) person who offered specific objections to Revelation in the early church was Gaius who believed it was a forgery of Cerinthus. But, what led him to this conclusion? It was not the historical merits of the book, but rather Gaius’ objection to chiliasm (the belief in a literal millennial reign of Christ).
Gaius opposed the chilastic teachings in the church, particularly the chiliasm he attributed to Cerinthus. There is little doubt that the reference to a millennium in Revelation 20 led Gaius to erroneously presume that Revelation was a product of Cerinthus’ pen.
4. Objections to Revelation Were Eventually Resolved. Even though Gaius is pretty much alone in his specific objections to Revelation, apparently it did have a negative affect in some quarters of the church. Particularly in the East, there was a resurgence of doubt about the book in the fourth century and later.
However, there were also many who supported the book. It was affirmed by the synods of Hippo (c.393) and Carthage (c.397). It was also received by Philastrius of Brescia (c.385), Rufinus of Aquileia (c.404), Jerome (c.414), and Augustine (c.426). And the reason why these groups accepted the book was simple: it was an ancient book quoted by the early church fathers as authoritative. And for this reason, eventually their view prevailed.
In the end, the problematic canonical journey of Revelation reminds us that the development of the NT canon was not always a smooth, pristine affair. However, it also remains that in the case of Revelation, the problems had little do with the historical merits of the book itself, but rather with the particular theological peccadillos of some in the early church. When the actual history of the book is understood, its canonical status stands in little doubt.

President Obama's plan for Medicare would "balance the budget on the backs of seniors," Rep. Tim Griffin says in a mailing to residents of the Second Congressional District. He lies.
The president's Affordable Care Act, passed over the objections of Griffin and his fellow Republicans, extends the life of Medicare and provides rebates to recipients who are in the dreaded "doughnut hole" for prescription drugs. Griffin and the other Republicans supported a plan to replace Medicare with a voucher system. Their vouchers would have forced low-income Medicare recipients to pay almost $5,000 a year more than they pay now, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Backbreaking.
Republicans hate Medicare the way they hate Social Security, because these are government programs that work, directly refuting the Republican philosophy of every man for himself. (Griffin's mailer was prepared by a national group and distributed to a number of Republican congressmen.)
Not long after receiving Griffin's propaganda, we saw that a poll showed him "in serious jeopardy" of being defeated next year. The poll was conducted by a Democratic-leaning group, true, but it's still easier to believe than Griffin's Medicare falsehood.
"Overwhelming majority doesn't think Tim Griffin deserves re-election" was the inspirational headline on the news release. It was soon followed by an announcement that the majority wants to get rid of Rep. Rick Crawford too. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

What is it going to take for Florida to recognize women legally as equal?
On August 26, 1920, after nearly a century of protest, the ratified 19th Amendment to the Constitution was certified, officially granting American women enfranchisement rights. This monumental constitutional declaration not only gave women the right to vote but acknowledged them the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
In 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment or ERA was presented to Congress. Decades later, in 1972, it finally passed but required adoption by 38 states before becoming ratified into law. Within five years, 35 states stepped up to the plate. It took 46 years before Nevada and Illinois joined the party, leaving Florida as one of the few states holding out. Why? Why must women beg for table scraps like dogs before our leaders will recognize them as being equal?
If you believe, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex,” call, email, text, and tweet, your representatives. Tell them we have waited long enough. Tell them our support depends on their support. Ladies, it is time to get mad and get active. Gentlemen, it is time to stand behind your women once and for all. The time for the ERA is now!

COLA to host meeting on invasive species
Whether Becker County residents own lakeshore property or not, they are affected by Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS).
Plants and animals that aren't in their native habitat are considered as AIS.
As part of the battle to stop AIS from spreading, the Becker County Coalition of Lake Associations is hosting experts from several agencies to give their advice on the issue as part of their annual meeting on Thursday night, Aug. 14, at the Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Detroit Lakes.
The meeting starts at 5 p.m., with a dessert buffet, and ends with a 9 p.m. question and answer session.
An in-depth seminar sponsored by COLA and the Becker County Master Gardeners, which begins at 9 a.m. on Aug. 15 and lasts until 4 p.m. at the MSCTC will provide greater information on the problem.
COLA feels the best way to prevent AIS infestation is through education.
AIS infestation is widespread in the state, with 30 percent of Minnesota's primary recreational lakes harboring at least one AIS.
It affects property owners the most, as values decrease $70 per shoreline foot with every 3-foot loss in water clarity. That loss can add up to $70,000 for every 100 feet of lakeshore.
In addition, Minnesota lake associations spend hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly to manage public resources for private use.
Thursday's annual meeting is free, but those wishing to attend Friday's in-depth seminar need to pre-register. The cost is $12.
Contact Linda Perrine at the Becker County Extension at 218-846-7328 no later than Monday, Aug. 11 to register.

This year’s Grammy Awards air on Sunday, February 8, and country music will be represented with performances Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and the tantalizing pairing of Brandy Clark and Dwight Yoakam. Most of the awards will be handed out before the show, and we will post the relevant winners here, as part of a Grammy Open Thread where CU readers and writers can share their thoughts on this year’s awards. Four CU writers, including myself, have shared our predictions and personal picks for the general and country-related categories below. Of course, one of the coolest things about the Grammys is that it celebrates a wide range of music from the past year, and as you’ll see by our varying levels of participation, our tastes here at CU run the gamut. This year, I’m as excited about the performances by Madonna, Kanye West (twice!), and that Hozier and Annie Lennox duet Read More
A case study in musical identity crisis.
Here we have one of the most gifted vocalists in the history of country music, searching in vain for her voice. The trend has been going on for some time now, and if this isn’t its apex, we’re in for a long and bumpy ride. Not since her days with Mercury has McEntire ever tried so hard to fit in with the current sound on country radio, and much like those early records, this trend-chasing set is both overprocessed and underdeveloped.

Hello, I am looking for a online database of sound effects that has the same audio files that you can find on commercial cd's so i can buy separately just the sound i need. I've heard some sounds that would be perfect for a project at my friend's studio but don't want to buy whole collection. The example would be Hollywood Edge Foley series. Are there any 1:1 online copies of cd's?
I'm not aware of any that do specifically what you are looking for.
You could try contacting those libraries to see if they will sell you just the specific sounds you are looking for, but there are a bunch of online resources that sell individual sound files you can purchase. Sounddogs.com is one of the best resources in that respect.
Gamecues seems to be a pretty good place to start. It offers many sound effects from the Sound Ideas collections, BlastwaveFX, and others. There's an integrated search engine on the website which I believe allows you to sort by author/publisher. I'm not sure if the have any Hollywood Edge sounds though. http://www.gamecues.com/
Check out http://www.audiomicro.com. They have a lot of Hollywood Edge sounds available individually. You might need to do an advanced search and narrow the results to the artist "hollywoodedge" to find them.

About the Gray Literature Database
Thousands of in-house reports produced annually by State and Federal agencies, tribes, and non-government organizations remain undiscovered by most researchers and fisheries management biologists, primarily because the reports are not published and/or widely distributed outside the producing agency.
These “gray literature” reports contain valuable information on management assessments, fisheries surveys, research projects, human dimensions studies, license and marketing efforts, and much more, including Sport Fish Restoration reports. Until now there has been no centralized online database that collects and makes available these fisheries reports.
The AFS Fisheries Gray Literature Database, available to all at no cost, allows rapid access to these reports from an easy-to-use central database, assuring the availability of substantial volumes of past and present work to fisheries scientists in North America and beyond.
Users can search the full text of submitted reports, as well as searching by author, title, organization, state/province, species, and year range. An exact match can be specified, and users may limit the search by logical operators (“and,” “or,” “and not”).
Search results (up to 100 records) are displayed showing the document title, authors, date, organization, species, region, and abstract snippet, with the user search terms highlighted in yellow. Clicking on a document title brings up the full-text PDF of the document which may be read, printed, or saved.
Questions or comments? Please contact Interim AFS Publications Director Laura Hendee at [email protected] or 301-897-8616, ext. 227.
Funding for the development of this database was provided by the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration programs of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under Grant Award F19AP00122.

This is an easy way to impress friends or others at work. Using notepad you can create your own personalized message or you can create the "Matrix".
1Right click on the desktop and highlight new. This will open a tab to the right or left that will state notepad select this.Ad
2Type what the picture on the right says.
3Depending on how many random numbers you want you can change the amount or you can personalize the message!
4Save the notepad document as a whatever.bat (make sure it is saved as .bat).
- goto top will just repeat the command by going to the top (this gives it the matrix effect).
- @echo off means that the commands that you type will not be displayed (this is hiding the actual code).
- echo will display the text that you place in front of it.
- Do not play around with cmd prompt if you do not know the commands.
- This is not a virus or a delete of any kind (you should look out for people who tell you to del/system).

After nearly 50 years, settling basins at Mníšek pod Brdy are environmentally safe
More than 23,000 tonnes of waste and 272 tonnes of waste water have been removed by a JV of HOCHTIEF CZ and EKOM CZ from the settling basins in the premises of ÚVR Mníšek pod Brdy a.s. In less than a year, a site of over 4 square km that had been used for disposal of waste from 1967 was subject to a complete environmental remediation.
The settling basins I and II were used for disposal of waste that in particular came from processing of non-ferrous materials, e.g. magnesite, limestone and dolomite. The main contaminants were arsenic, cadmium, chrome, mercury, lead, nickel, copper, but also cyanides or petrochemicals.
“Heavy metal and petrochemical contamination was documented up to a level of two metres under the ground at the settling basin I and in a depth of two to four metres at the settling basin II. Since there are a stream – Bojovský potok and a pond – Sýkorník in a distance of one kilometre in the underground water flow direction, the contamination posed a serious hazard for the environment in the vicinity,” Director of Division Traffic Infrastructure of HOCHTIEF CZ, Ing. Pavel Kubasa, stated.
The remediation works comprised not only the actual excavation and safe disposal of the contaminated sludge, materials and water, but also continuous taking of samples from the bottom and the sides of the excavations. This was done to prove that the target remediation values were achieved. The works were completed by a backfill with almost 13,000 cubic metres of material. The remediation measures were started in December 2014 and finished in September 2015. Since completion of the remediation works until today, post-remediation monitoring of the quality of the groundwater has been carried out on the site.

Jenson Button has given McLaren a much-needed boost in its bid to beat Force India in the 2014 Formula 1 constructors’ championship after finishing fifth in yesterday’s Japanese Grand Prix.
McLaren had entered the race weekend full of optimism, so much so that qualifying seventh and eighth was bitterly disappointing to the management at the team.
However, Button managed to salvage a good result in the race on Sunday after taking advantage of the wet conditions and the early safety car period.
The race was started behind the pace car before being red flagged for 20 minutes due to the wet weather. Once it restarted, the track dried as the cars continued to circulate behind Bernd Maylander, with the race eventually restarting on lap ten.
By this time, the track was dry enough to warrant intermediate tires, with Button the first to take to the pit lane. With the rest of the field waiting before making the same call, he was able to jump up to third place behind the two Mercedes drivers once all had made the switch.
Ultimately, Button could not fend off the Red Bull duo of Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, but in fifth place, he has drawn McLaren to within one point of Force India in the constructors’ championship.
The race was overshadowed by Jules Bianchi’s accident late on, which left the Frenchman with severe head injuries. He remains in hospital in a critical condition. After the checkered flag, Button spoke only of Bianchi.
“For me, the race doesn’t really matter today,” he said. “I haven’t seen anything of Jules’ accident, but the most important thing to say is that all our thoughts are with him, his family, and his team right now.
“It’s an accident that you hope never happens in Formula 1.”
Button’s teammate, Kevin Magnussen, finished the race in 14th place after making an extra pit stop due to a problem with his steering wheel.
