| Module Info
| Add a review of Term-Shell
This module makes it very easy to have a working prototype shell application running within a few minutes.
My only nitpicks are that it expects methods to have names that match their commands (e.g. run_command) rather than using an initialization method, and that the the summary/help/execution functions for each command are separate functions. But these are minor.
There's a few other things I'd like, such as password input methods (esp. one that works with Term::ReadLine::Perl), and better documentation on how/where to save data for my method in a way that won't interfere with the internals of Term::Shell.
One really good module for a simple shell.
Easy to use, easy to extend.

The 'Alien: Covenant' film director has revealed he thinks it's "ridiculous" not to believe in "superior beings"
Film director Ridley Scott has admitted that he’s convinced aliens exist and that one day they’ll come for us.
The filmmaker is gearing up to release ‘Alien: Covenant’; the sixth movie in the ‘Alien’ sci-fi franchise, next month.
Scott said: “I believe in superior beings. I think it is certainly likely.
“An expert I was talking to at NASA said to me ‘have you ever looked in the sky at night? You mean to tell me we are it?’ That’s ridiculous.
“The experts have now put a number on it having assessed what is out there. They say that there are between 100 and 200 entities that could be having a similar evolution to us right now.
“So when you see a big thing in the sky, run for it. Because they are a lot smarter than we are, and if you are stupid enough to challenge them you will be taken out in three seconds.”
The new ‘Alien’ film is the second prequel to the 1979 original starring Sigourney Weaver, Ian Holm, John Hurt and Yaphet Kotto; the first prequel being 2012’s ‘Prometheus’.
The new movie will be set in 2104 on board a spaceship carrying 2,000 cryogenically frozen colonists to a distant planet.
During their journey, the passengers discover an uncharted paradise, but it soon turns sour.
The film stars Michael Fassbender, who also made an appearance in ‘Prometheus’ as a sentient android.
Scott, who gained notoriety after directing the first film back in 1979, said he hasn’t tired of scaring his audiences.
He said: “When I did the first ‘Alien‘ I had to get a sense of responsibility because the reaction to the kitchen (‘chestbuster’) scene with John Hurt was beyond anything I expected – and it was not good.
“But the film was very successful because people are perverse.
“Everybody was half underneath the seat watching by the time you get to the kitchen scene. There was a woman underneath the seat with her husband holding her.”

Scott, 73, recently vowed to make another three ‘Alien’ films if the upcoming release proves successful.
‘Alien: Covenant’ is released in UK cinemas on 10 May.

In the aftermath of the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, tensions are reigniting between North and South Korea. Amid the freezing of cross-parallel ties, one of the few remnants of past cooperation, the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC), remains a major power piece for both the North and South.
The complex began as a joint-economic development project in 2004. Under the arrangement, North Korean industrial labors produce a variety of manufactured items, such as textiles, automotive parts and semiconductors, under the auspices of South Korean corporations. Despite Pyongyang’s political blustering on closing the border, South Korean administrative staff continue to cross the DMZ for work each morning: a sign of the complex’s importance and endurance.
For North Korea, the KIC is one of the few breadwinners in a flailing economy hobbled by underdeveloped primary and secondary sectors. For a nation with an annual export capacity of approximately USD$1.8 billion, the KIC’s potential to generate over USD$9.5 billion from 2004-2013 will constitute a significant portion of North Korea’s fiscal future. Amidst a failing economy, aging infrastructure and an oppressive authoritarian regime, North Korea’s development rests with the liberalization of their economy; a feat symbolized by the Kaesong complex.
Considering the South Korean standpoint, the KIC is essentially a tool for outsourcing production without the usual drawbacks. For the South Korean companies, the common downsides of outsourcing – language and geographical distance – are not factors at the Kaesong complex. The workforce at the KIC speaks Korean, thus eliminating the language barrier, and the site is but an hour north of Seoul, just shy of the northern border of the DMZ, therefore facilitating physical access to means of production. Labor is also much less expensive in North Korea, where the average industrial worker only earns approximately USD$65 a month, as compared to the average USD$170 per month in China.
The shared value of the KIC for both the ROK and DPRK may shield the complex from the cross-parallel fallout. In the past, many have considered the complex a permanent venture; independent from the tribulations of inter-Korean relations. Proponents commonly point to the 2006 North Korean underground nuclear test; an act that incurred multiple sanctions, but not the closure of the complex. Although Kaesong’s future is far from assured, both states have a critical and symbolic stake in the complex that sets it apart from other political cards. The KIC is crucial litmus test for inter-Korean relations in days to come. Despite rapid deterioration in relations since the Cheonan incident, preservation of economic activity at the Kaesong complex signals that this incident does not necessarily sound the knell for the relations on the peninsula.

I was flattered when Jenn asked me to share the Rustic Popcorn Bar I created for a Family Reunion party over the summer. If you are looking for something super simple to throw together for your next event…look no further. Order yourself some popcorn seasonings from Kernel Season’s and pre-order fresh, already-popped bags of popcorn from your local grocery store. A-MAIZE-ingly easy!!
Spruce up some salt shakers with some cute labels and offer a few candies and nuts to sprinkle in the popcorn; You’ve got an instant interactive popcorn bar with very little prep work. Although this particular popcorn bar has a rustic vibe, the concept works for any season.
You’d butter keep reading for all of the details. You just might be inspired to be the POPular mom in the neighborhood and host a movie night for the kids. Or better yet, how about hosting a “girls-night-in” movie night with your girlfriends.
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Jessica of Pen N’ Paperflowers Studio & Design…
“When I found myself assigned to the arduous task of putting together a family slideshow to watch for the ‘Family Movie Night’ portion of our Family Reunion this past summer…little did I realize it would literally become a movie. (a 1 hour and 20 minute movie to be exact). I kept the length of the movie quietly to myself and decided I’d better have some fantastic snacks to offer the unsuspecting crowd.
The family movie was going to be shown at a family member’s home on 5 acres of beautiful property that included horses. Their gorgeous pool was the backdrop for the slideshow. With a country setting already provided, a rustic-style Popcorn Bar was in order. I wanted it to be kid-friendly and fun and I needed it to be easy as far as food preparation for 50+ people. It was the easiest ‘dessert table’ I’ve put together to-date and it was an absolute hit.
FOOD, DECOR & DETAILS:
My intentions were to create an interactive popcorn bar that would allow everyone to personalize their simple brown bags of popcorn. By selecting a seasoning (or two) as well as offering a few candies and peanuts to throw in the mix, this option allowed everyone to get creative and ultimately cater to a large array of popcorn palettes.
I pre-ordered 10 bags of fresh, already popped popcorn from my local grocery store. I then ordered an array of popcorn seasonings, (Kettle Corn, Apple Cinnamon, Nacho Cheddar, White Cheddar, Ranch, Chili Lime, and Caramel) and a butter spritzer from Kernel Season’s website.
I created a catchy sign with easy one-word directions so everyone would know exactly what the process entailed to create their personalized bag of popcorn: Snatch, Scoop, Spritz, Sprinkle, Shake and Savor. (and you could add Share…if you like). *wink*
I also added another interactive element to the popcorn bar by creating a fun, simple game called ‘Mystery Popcorn Flavors’. I ordered 5 different ‘Sampler Bags’ of unusual flavored popcorn from Kernel Encore. (Salt & Vinegar, BBQ, Watermelon, Peanut Butter and Taco). With each of the flavors in a separate numbered basket, I challenged everyone to sample them and offered a prize to the person to guess all five flavors correctly.
The food preparation couldn’t have been more simple and I believe everyone had fun serving up their own snacks in preparation for the movie. A popcorn bar is such a versatile idea allowing for so many different creative avenues to choose from. It’s also one of the easiest dessert tables I’ve put together to-date.”

Virtual Reality May Help Restore Healthy Body Image In Anorexics
A new technology may soon banish an old scourge: body image distortion in anorexics. Using “virtual reality,” researchers are trying to help patients develop healthy ideas about their figures.
Although razor thin, the anorexic sees herself as fat. She, therefore, constantly tries to lose weight in order to obtain an “ideal” physique. But her illusory goalpost is perpetually shifting downward, causing her condition to deteriorate.
The Center On Disabilities notes that the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders used by clinicians (DSM IV) has a body image criterion which is required for diagnosis of anorexia or bulimia. The Center cites studies indicating that anorexics who overestimate their measurements, or are more pleased with their appearance than others, gain less weight after cognitive-behavioral therapy.
According to the European Health Telematics Observatory (EHTO), “virtual” therapies have been used on a variety of psychological disorders since the early 1990’s. Experiments have included people suffering from acrophobia (fear of heights), fear of flying, and autism.
The technique combines two older methods: the cognitive-behavioral and the visual-motorial approaches. According to EHTO, the former involves interviews and visualization techniques, while the latter uses videos and bodily awareness exercises.
Developed by Virtual.sys, of Milano, Italy, the VR system consists of a computer attached to a joystick and a head-mounted display. The joystick allows the user to “move” in “virtual” space, and the headgear controls the direction. The Center On Disabilities cites research by Cioffi (1993) which found that 40% of VR subjects felt detached from their bodies shortly after treatment. This effect, according to the Center, is desirable because it allows the patient to be more aware of the sensorimotor processes associated with physical movement. According to the theory, this detachment facilitates healthy change in body image.
The VR subject “moves” through six “zones.” The first two introduce her to the technology and focus attention on diet. The next four attempt to modify her bodily experience. She is required to navigate through several “rooms” with male and female models, make food choices, and observe a digitized image of her own body. At times, she must weigh herself before advancing to another zone. In order to advance to the last zone, she must choose a door corresponding to her exact “virtual” dimensions. Once there, she can adjust her digitized body as desired by using a morphing tool.

YouTube has actually branched out from its roots as a video hosting site. In order to offer a new subscription-based live TV streaming service. With more than 60 networks now on board, it is worth taking a look at how to get the most out of your subscription fee, and also a Virtual Private Network (VPN) may be the best way in order to get there as well. In this article, we are going to talk about Youtube TV VPN Services – How it Detects? Let’s begin!
What is a VPN?
A VPN operates through creating a virtual IP address that’s actually hosted on a server somewhere else in the world. An IP address is actually your gateway to the internet, as it will permit your device to recognize via many other devices connected through the Internet Protocol.
The virtual IP generated via the VPN is a great privacy tool. It prevents websites from obtaining your real IP through supplying the virtual IP in its place. That means your online activities cannot be traced as well.
In order to give anonymity and variety to their users, VPN providers host servers all over the globe. This is helpful whenever content on websites and streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu is not available in your country due to the IP address. Using a VPN from another country tricks the site into thinking that you’re in the country along with the server. That means you can also access whichever tv shows and movies are available from that location.
Services such as YouTube TV that only offer a lot of channels and programs in certain areas become much more valuable. When you guys can simply bypass the geographical restrictions. It is really useful to learn more about YouTube TV VPN workarounds.
Youtube TV VPN Services – How it Detects?
Companies that operate in the video streaming industry are not ignorant of the fact that VPN technology can also bypass geographical restrictions. That they have put in place, and along with more VPN services popping up and rising to prominence each and every day. They have taken measures to make void the advantages VPNs afford their users.
With their users rightfully upset that the advantages they previously enjoyed suddenly restricted. VPN providers responded through finding workarounds to these new obstacles.
The first step to finding a way around the added security measures is through understanding exactly how YouTube is catching VPNs in the first place. YouTube TV basically uses an algorithm that tracks all incoming IP addresses. Those are trying to access the site as well. They do this to track which programs are being watched, however, also to catch VPNs.
This is effective because relying on the service that you are using, you may not be getting a dedicated IP address. A dedicated IP address is actually a virtual IP address that is unique to each and every individual using the service, not unique to each server.
If you guys are not getting a dedicated IP address, catching the VPN becomes much easier. YouTube TV’s algorithm simply has to catch multiple accounts attempting to log in along with an identical IP. Relying on how many folks use the service, the algorithm may catch this really quickly. Because the more accounts that attempt to connect, the quicker the algorithm can figure out that it’s fake.
Find a Good VPN
Whenever you guys are shopping for your VPN provider, it’s really important to keep this in mind. You guys will quickly become frustrated along with the time it takes the provider to change the IP address each and every time it gets flagged. There are a lot of options for good and affordable VPN services that include dedicated IP addresses. That can significantly increase your chances of using it effectively as well.
It’s actually worth shopping around for the right VPN that works for your needs. Along with VPNs becoming more mainstream, there is no end to your options. And the great promotional deals offered through some providers can make it a really good deal. Along with all of this in mind, and start getting the most out of your YouTube TV subscription!
Best VPNs for YouTube TV
ExpressVPN is actually the best YouTube TV VPN service. As it is reliable and provides lightning-fast speeds in order to stream YouTube TV outside of the US.
ExpressVPN is actually a provider based in the British Virgin Islands that is highly respected throughout the VPN industry as well. It is basically a service that consumers come back to time and time again because of its high speeds and excellent reliability. Along with ExpressVPN, you get servers in 94 countries, that includes in the USA. And this VPN is actually a service that consistently unblocks highly sought-after services. For example YouTube TV, Netflix US, Hulu, HBO GO, and much more.
We really enjoy using ExpressVPN on all platforms, and the apps are fully featured along with advanced privacy settings. For example a kill switch, OpenVPN encryption, DNS leak protection, and obfuscation. This actually makes the VPN superb to gain digital privacy both at home and on public WiFi. In addition, this VPN stores zero logs, which means it will never have any records of what you did online as well. We find streaming along with this VPN a fantastic experience. And since it has 24/7 live chat support, you can always ask questions actually.
CyberGhost VPN is basically a great VPN for YouTube TV. It is really easy to use, its app labels what servers are best for streaming so you don’t have to waste time finding a server.
CyberGhost is a VPN provider based in Romania that is well known for providing easy-to-use apps for all of the platforms. This provider has servers in more than 90 countries, which makes it fantastic to unblock a wide range of international content. And, since it has fast servers in the USA – that actually work with YouTube TV and Netflix. This is a really great service to access international streams.
Along with CyberGhost, you get a wide range of privacy features that includes OpenVPN encryption, a kill switch, and DNS leak protection as well. Additionally, this VPN has a no-logs policy in order to make sure it never has any records of what its users do online. The nice thing about CyberGhost is that it is pretty easy to use. However, it does have a few fewer features than our top recommended service as well. The good news is that this VPN lets you install the apps on more than 7 devices simultaneously, which makes it great for people with a lot of devices as well.
Well, surfshark is a customer favorite VPN and also one of the cheapest VPNs for YouTube TV. You guys can unblock YouTube TV for just $2.49 a month.
Surfshark is another VPN based in the British Virgin Islands actually. A location that is fantastic in terms of privacy as well. The service is highly praised via customers because of its low prices and really wide range of features. In terms of speeds, this VPN is one of the fastest on the globe. That makes it an extremely good option to unblock streams. And this VPN works not just along with YouTube TV. However, also with a massive assortment of international Netflix catalogs including Netflix US and Netflix Canada as well.
Where privacy is actually concerned this VPN is strong. It has a zero logs policy and OpenVPN encryption as well. And its apps come fully featured along with a kill switch, obfuscation, and also DNS leak protection. Surfshark has servers in more than 60 countries, and also it is one of those rare services that seem to unblock everything. We love this VPNs 24/7 live chat support and also the fact. That it lets its subscribers install and then use the VPN on an unlimited number of devices. This makes it ideal for larger families and folks along with a lot of devices.
Alright, That was all Folks! I hope you guys like this article and also find it helpful to you. Give us your feedback on it. Also if you guys have further queries and issues related to this article. Then let us know in the comments section below. We will get back to you shortly.
Have a Great Day!

The High Point Market Authority has just released this season’s much anticipated High Point Market Style Report for Fall/Winter 2014. The 28-page report was developed by six home fashion trendsetters (myself included!), all part of the Market’s 2014 Style Spotters team, who scoured the High Point Market for the hottest must-have items and then translated their picks into today’s top trends for the report. The Fall/Winter 2014 High Point Market Style Report can be found by clicking HERE.
The Style Spotters team for 2014 worked through both Markets (April and October), which afforded continuity and expanded marketing possibilities for the High Point Market Authority. Applications to be considered for the 2015 Style Spotters team are being accepted through December 5. Program information is available at http://www.highpointmarket.org/event/style-spotters-hub.
Being selected a Style Spotter for 2014 was among one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had and I encourage anyone who is interested to apply. It’s even more fun than it looks, has opened a lot of doors, but along with the fun and perks comes a lot of hard work and dedication, so do think twice about whether or not you can put forth the effort. Good luck!

A: Yes, there are definite differences between the two. IDS/IPS systems are typically either signature-based or behavior-based. Sometimes the functionality is built into devices such as firewalls and routers, other times they are built into blades that fit into a larger chassis. They can act as network or host-based protection controls. Sometimes they are used as separate appliances with one or multiple network interfaces. While IDS/IPS systems are designed to provide a higher layer of security over a basic firewall, they do not typically understand or protect against application layer attacks such as SQL Injection, XSS, etc. This reason is why the PCI standard requires a WAF to protect Internet-facing web servers instead of just a firewall with IDS/IPS capabilities.
A: SQL Injection is an attack on databases with a web server front-end. The issue involves the application not properly 'sanitizing' input data. By submitting a carefully crafted response the attacker is able to gain unauthorized access to the database. This access can take various forms including read access, the ability to change data and can also be used in some cases to completely compromise the entire database server.
A: You must ensure that ALL input data is properly verified and only the specific data requested is passed to the web application. For example, if the user is asked for a ZIP code only accept the digits 0-9 and perhaps a dash to be input. Check for the proper length and format of each data input field. Don't forget input areas such as search fields, "Contact Us" forms, etc.
A: Blind SQL Injection is a variation on the standard SQL Injection attack. Blind SQL Injection attacks occur when a web application is vulnerable to SQL Injection but does not display results to the attacker. This type of attack usually takes longer and requires different tools to perform. The use of parameterized statements can help prevent this type of attack.
A: Whether or not XSS attacks can be completely eliminated might be open for debate. However, just like SQL Injection, XSS vulnerabilities can be greatly reduced by properly sanitizing input data. Only allow the specific input data requested. Some times this is not enough to prevent XSS attacks. Proper cookie security is another issue that needs to be addressed. Click here for a reference to other techniques for preventing XSS attacks.
A: Yes. Any method of accessing corporate resources from external sources should be tested. This could include just the known dial-in phone numbers or perhaps the entire DID block of phone numbers allotted to the client. Don't forget about the phone lines connected to your PBX!
A: Wardialing is a common term for testing connections to various computing devices over normal phone lines. Many organizations still have phone lines connected to routers, servers, PBX's, etc. for diagnostic and troubleshooting activities. If these connections are not secure they can represent a great threat to your organization.
A: Usually, one of two ways. The first method is to only dial the specific numbers that you know are connected to some form of computing device (typically excluding fax machines). The second method involves dialing a block of phone numbers. The goal of the second method is to find "hidden" dial-in access that which IT might not be aware. Blocks of phone numbers can range from several to several thousand.

Oppenheim and WSJ Today: South Florida Real Estate Dilema = Pay + Stay or Strategic Default
It was 4:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving eve at my office, and I was enjoying a moment of quiet phones as I cleared my desk and my mind. The one call that did come was from The Wall Street Journal Real Estate reporter James (Bob) R. Hagarty. He was working on a story about homeowners who are creating their own bailouts, the coined name “strategic defaults.” Bob asked my thoughts on what a homeowner should know before they stop paying the mortgage: a tough decision and one that I help my clients make each day.
It just so happens one of my clients, Steven Olson, was also a phone call away, ready and willing to talk to Hagarty about how he came to his conclusion to stop paying and walk away.
This is a toxic time for homeowners in the real estate market. In good times, it would be unthinkable to stop paying the mortgage, but today it is the right option for some. Read the full story Debtor’s Dilemma: Pay the Mortgage or Walk Away on the Oppenheim Law News Room or in today’s Wall Street Journal on page A22.

INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1954 (B) CRIMINAL PENALTY.—For purposes of section 7206(1) and (2) and section 7207 (relating to criminal penalties in the case of fraudulent returns) the term "return" includes a separate return filed by a spouse with respect to a taxable year for which a joint return is made under this subsection after the filing of such separate return.
OF E I THE R
SPOUSE.—For purposes of sections 21, 443, and 7851 (a)(1)(A), where the husband and wife have different taxable years because of the death of either spouse, the joint return shall be treated as if the taxable years of both spouses ended on the date of the closing of the surviving spouse's taxable year. (d) DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this section— (1) the status as husband and wife of two individuals having taxable years beginning on the same day shall be determined— (A) if both have the same taxable year—as of the close of such year; and (B) if one dies before the close of the taxable year of the other— as of the time of such death; and (2) an individual who is legally separated from his spouse under a decree of divorce or of separate maintenance shall not be considered as married; and (3) if a joint return is made, the tax shall be computed on the aggregate income and the liability with respect to the tax shall be joint and several. SEC. 6014. INCOME TAX RETURN—TAX NOT COMPUTED BY TAXPAYER. (a) ELECTION BY TAXPAYER.—An individual entitled to elect to
pay the tax imposed b}?^ section 3 whose gross income is less than $5,000 and includes no income other than remuneration for services performed by him as an employee, dividends or interest, and whose gross income other than wages, as defined in section 3401(a), does not exceed $100, shall at his election not be required to show on the return the tax imposed by section 1.

The combination of the African Swine Fever, which generated the slaughter of nearly 200 million hogs in China, and the trade war waged between the U.S and China benefits Brazil in many ways.
The South American country has exported not just more corn, as a result of the Chinese retaliatory measures toward the U.S., but more hogs.
In the first six months of 2019, Brazil has exported 346.600 tons of swine or $699.7 million worth, according to data from the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA, short in Portuguese) says. The value is 23.4% higher than the same period of last year, while the volume is 24.5% above the first six months of 2015.
In April alone, it was the largest volume of Brazilian swine exports since 1997, when these statistics started to be accounted.
For ABPA, there will be more growth during the second half of the year because the impact of the African Swine Fever will favor prices in Brazil even more than in the first half of 2019.
In Brazil, swine production is concentrated in the three southern states. Typically, hog farmers are integrated with a coop, receiving the piglet, the meal, vaccines and technical assistance from purchasers.
Once processed, the pork product is valued according to its productive efficiency.
In the southern part of Brazil, approximately 80% of producers are in this system.
Some farmers integrated in that system say they did not see as much of a difference in prices, since the ASF outbreak, because some other costs have also increased, like labor, facilities, maintenance, land value, etc.
“We are feeling the pain of these costs being higher,” said Jacir Dariva, president of the Swine Producers Association of the state of Paraná. Typical payments for producers were $0.50 per pound of swine, while the FOB cost (at the port) was $1 per pound.
OTHER MEAT EXPORTS
But, pork is not the only meat that the Chinese have bought from Brazil. Also, also beef and poultry exports are up.
In the case of beef exports, Brazil has seen an increase of over 50%, also pushed by Russian demand.
“There is a clear replacement of swine meat for other meat. All the countries combined cannot supply what China needs of swine meat,” state Francisco Turra, president of the ABPA.
“Brazil has a good quality of meat and competitive prices, which puts us in the radar of Chinese purchasers,” said market analyst Douglas Coelho from Radar Investimentos, based in Sao Paulo.
The Brazilian government has worked to allow 50 more processing facilities of pork and poultry production to export to China.
The current number of processing plants allowed to export to China is about half of that.

Directed by: Mark Buntzman
Written By: Mark Buntzman & William Sachs
Cinematography: Bob Baldwin & Joseph Mangine

The flamethrower-wielding vigilante John Eastland returns to rid New York City of a drug lord and his gang.
The exterminator returns. This is basically a revenge movie and vigilante movie rolled into one. Not that the film is supposed to be taken all that seriously. As it seems more an action film of the times that tries to be exploitive but forgets in all ways. That seems to want to try to be more mainstream. Which then takes out most of what made the first film stand out in the first place.
At least the first film had a kind of grindhouse style that fit its Time period that made it somewhat watchable.
This movie goes with the times and the ridiculous fashions and styles of the time. It’s Mainly noteworthy for having a young Mario Van Peebles play the villain, a gang leader who dresses like he is in Mad Max. While his goons all seem to be some kind of punk rockers or backup dancers from a music video who try to look urban.
While the film is violent it’s Not as creative with its Kills and the violence where seems more gratuitous for no reason that comes across as exploitive.
At least here the lead has a sidekick and they give him A Love interest. And a sex scene. Which here just seems more like. Reason to have some nudity in the film. Whose victimization gives him A target for his anger.
Out of this series at least when presenting a hero he isn’t some Kind of heroic figure or even that skilled just a Vietnam vet who knows his way around weapons. No hand-to-hand combat, just strictly strike and kill.
There is an ending but it’s Not necessarily happy for anyone. The problem is that as with most sequels this continues the protagonist’s adventures but comes off generic rather than inventive.
It’s fun to see character actors in various roles throughout before they went onto bigger and better things but that is the only joy that the film brings to mind.

The phylum Arthropoda, which includes arthropods, is the biggest group of invertebrate organisms (creatures without a vertebral column), accounting for well over 80% of all animals.
Spiders, insects, shrimps, and crabs are among the many species found in this phylum, which can be found in a variety of settings ranging from the seafloor to the mountain summits.
Arthropods have a number of distinct traits, including:
- Exoskeleton (a type of exoskeleton that protects the creature from harm)
- Body that is segmented
- Appendages that are joined together
- Symmetrical on both sides
This article will discuss arthropods – including examples of them, their unique characteristics and which classification they belong to.
Which Classification Do Arthropods Belong To?
Animalia – Arthropods are members of the Animal Kingdom.
Consequently, they are multicellular eukaryotes with the following traits for the most part:
- Sexual reproduction is asexual reproduction.
- Cell walls are absent in cells.
- At some time in their lives, they should be able to travel from one location to another.
Arthropods constitute the phylum Arthropoda, which includes over a million identified varieties of invertebrate animals and is also known as Euarthropoda in some circles.
The Arthropoda phylum is subdivided into the following subphyla:
Trilobitomorpha is a subphylum of the Trilobitomorpha phylum.
Trilobites, inhabitants of subphylum Trilobitomorpha, are now completely extinct.
They were common during the Cambrian to Ordovician geologic eras, but they became extinct throughout the Cambrian geological years as a result of a Permo-Triassic extinction event, according to research (the Great Dying).
What Are The Distinct Characteristics Of Arthropods?
A Flattened Oval Body
The anatomy was divided into various pieces, including the Cephalon head shield, compound eyes on the upper half of the head area, a set of antenna, the thorax bearing biramous limbs, and a segmental terminal segment known as pygidium.
They measured one millimetre to 76 centimetres in length. While lesser trilobite species measured one millimetre to ten centimetres in length, some species reached lengths of up to 76 centimetres.
Like the title suggests, trilobites have three longitudinal lobes on their bodies (central axial lobe)
The bulk of trilobites had a broad body, however a few had a streamlined/narrow body. Some had a prickly surface, and some had a smooth one.
They were mostly free-living organisms that may be found in a variety of maritime ecologies.
Subphylum Trilobitomorpha is composed of a solitary Class Trilobita that includes groups like agnostids, which are usually mistaken for planktons.
Numerous trilobite organisms have been discovered from fossil records, adding to the sub-knowledge. phylum’s
Because trilobites were mostly marine animals, their food was likely to consist primarily of dead or decaying materials, as well as aquatic plankton and crustaceans.
Horseshoe crabs, scorpions, mites, ticks, and spiders are among the marine and terrestrial animals that make up the Chelicerata subphylum.
Chelicerata comprises a set of extinct creatures, such as eurypterids, in addition to several living animals.
Members of the subphylum Chelicerata could be found in a variety of environments in the world, with over 100,000 species described.
While some of these species can damage humans and animals, the vast bulk are harmless, free-living organisms, with some even being beneficial.
The Chelicerata subphylum is organised into four classes:
Scorpions, spiders, mites, and ticks are among the many species that belong to the Arachnida class, which is part of the Chelicerata subphylum.
Currently, approximately 90,000 species of the Arachnida class have been recognised, with over 8,000 of them found in North America.
Arachnids could be found in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, depending on the species.
For example, some mites (Hydrachnidia) are among the most common species on the planet. Freshwater conditions are particularly hospitable to Hydrachnidia (water mites).
Other than Hydrachnidia, there are several additional forms of mites that can survive in water (semi-aquatic).
The majority of arachnids, on the other hand, are terrestrial animals that prey on smaller insects.
Arachnida gets its origins from the Greek term aráchn, which means spider. It’s also interesting to note that spiders account for the vast bulk of arachnids.
Arachnidae – Major Characteristics
- The abdomen (posterior section of the body) and the cephalothorax (front part of the body) are the two bodily parts.
- The dorsal carapace as well as the ventral sternum make up the cephalothorax.
- The chelicerae (fangs) are the first set of appendages, followed by the pedipalps, which operate as sensory organs in certain creatures (araneae) or as claws in others (scorpions), and the rest, which can be used for moving (legs).
- Arachnid mouthparts are designed for consuming a liquid food instead of crunching.
- There are four pairs of legs.
- Antennae are not present.
- Arachnid venom glands differ from species to species.
- Have a dorsal heart, allowing for a more open circulatory system.
- Have a ventral nerve connection and fused ganglia in their nervous system
- Pedipalps are utilised to transmit spermatophores for fertilisation, which is the most common method of reproduction.
Horseshoe crabs (four species) and eurypterids are two forms of creatures in the Merostomata class (sea scorpions).
Sea scorpions have become extinct, whereas horseshoe crabs remain around.
Horseshoe crabs, the only surviving creatures in this class, are mostly marine organisms, in contrast to those other classes that include organisms from many settings.
As a result, with the exception of Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, most species are marine organisms.
Merostomata – Major Characteristics
- Horseshoe crabs have a dorsal plate which resembles a horseshoe, hence the name.
- They were discovered on the seafloor, possibly buried under muck.
- There are six appendages in total. a chelicera for feeding and five for movement (four pairs for strolling and the last pair for pushing the animal).
- The cephalothorax (the section of the body covered by a hard shell) and the abdomen are the two primary body parts. The organisms’ tail spine is located at the back of their bodies. When crabs are overturned, the tail spines (caudal spine), also known as a telson, are utilised to turn them.
- Females lay eggs in shallow coastal waters, which the male fertilises externally.
- On their abdominal legs, they have book gills that are used for gas exchange.
- Circulatory system that is well developed
- A neurological system made composed of ganglia, a circum-esophageal brain, and a ventral nerve cord.
- The two compounded lateral eyes are made up of five pairs of eyes.
Pycnogonida is a group of marine creatures that includes over 1,000 species and is sometimes referred to as sea spiders.
Despite the fact that they are called sea spiders, they are not true spiders, but rather creatures that resemble spiders.
Pycnogonids – Major Characteristics
- Because of their long legs and little abdomen, they are also called Pantopoda, which means “all legs.”
- Claws can be found on long legs.
- Although the bulk of Pycnogonids appear small, some deep-sea Pycnogonids can grow to be 70 centimetres in diameter.
- They have a lengthy proboscis by which they suck the prey’s liquids
- They also have a pair of talons on their heads, as well as ovigers, which they utilise to transport their eggs.
- While the majority of Pycnogonids possess eight legs, others may have more.
Chelicerata Subphylum – Major Characteristics
- There are two primary body segments.
- Have a total of four legs
- Pedipalps are present, but there are no antennae.
- Have Chelicerae (food-holding cells)
- The bulk of creatures within the subphylum are terrestrial, with a few exceptions.
There are around 13,000 species in the subphylum Myriapoda, which are divided into four primary classes.
Myriapods possess a segmented body and multiple segmented legs, as do all arthropods.
They have a chitin-based exoskeleton. Myriapods range in size from a few millimetres to about 30 centimetres.
Some, on the other hand, are nearly tiny.
Myriapods decompose plant material in a variety of terrestrial habitats, including soil, wetlands, and moist forests.
The bulk of Myriapods are herbivores, which means they eat plant matter. Some, on the other hand, live as small-animal predators.
Myriapods comprise the following animals:
Subphylum Myriapoda has the following classes:
Centipedes belong to the Chilopoda class. They are uniramian arthropods and have a flattened, elongated body with between 12 and 100 sections.
Centipedes’ first and last body segments, however, may differ in shape from the rest of the body.
Centipedes’ heads (first segment) have appendages that have been adapted to generate jaw-like, venomous claws/fangs with a set of jointed antennae.
Although the name centipede refers to a creature with “one hundred legs,” members of the Chilopoda class have anywhere from 30 to 300 legs, depending on the variety.
Chilopoda members are terrestrial, meaning they dwell on land.
They do, however, require moist environments and can be found in microhabitats like under rocks, logs, litter, and dark, moist locations, among others.
The bulk of centipedes survive in these ecosystems as hunters of other small mammals and arthropods.
Scolopendra gigantea located in South America, on the other hand, have been observed preying on much larger species including frogs and mice.
Internal fertilisation is used by members of the Chilopoda class.
The female lays eggs in damp habitats after fertilisation, and the nymphs hatch and go through a sequence of moults before reaching adulthood.
There are roughly 10,000 millipede species in the Diplopoda class.
While the name millipede implies that they must have 1,000 limbs, the largest species only have about 350, with the majority having only about 30 pairs.
Millipedes, unlike centipedes, have diplosomite segments (two fused segments on each fused segment) with four legs on each fused segment.
The head lacks legs, although the first three parts each have only one pair.
One set of antennae, and also chewing mouthparts for eating on plants, are found on the head segment.
Diplopoda’s Other Characteristics
- A few creatures have simple eyes.
- Each section has two pairs of ganglion and cardiac arteries.
- The length should be between 2mm and 280mm.
- The bulk of millipedes have calcareous dorsal plates as an exoskeleton.
- Many of the species’ defence strategies include winding into a coil and producing a noxious fluid or gas.
- Male millipedes utilise specialised legs inside the seventh section to transport sperm cells to female millipedes. Female millipedes deposit eggs in damp habitats, which hatch into young millipedes who go through numerous moults before maturing.
- Millipedes eat decomposing plants and other plant matter.
Pauropods are little animals that range in size from 0.5 to 1.5 mm in length when compared to members of the Chilopoda and Diplopoda classes.
When contrasted to the other groups, their bodies are lighter (white or light brown) and softer, with between 8 to 11 segments.
Pauropoda’s Other Characteristics
- So far, approximately 700 species are known.
- The majority of creatures have two sexes.
- It thrives in damp environments.
- They eat microscopic root material, including fungal root-like structures.
- Can move incredibly quickly
- Have tiny, weak chewing mouthparts and a poorly developed head with branched antennae.
Symphylans are centipede-like terrestrial creatures that belong to the Symphyla class.
They are, however, smaller and have a more transparent aspect.
Symphylans, in comparison to some other classes, are little understood, with around 160 species now known.
Symphylans Other Characteristics
- They have tomosvary organs, which allow them to detect moisture and chemical composition changes.
- They have a diffuse neural system and a pair of antennas on their heads.
- Their bodies are made up of a head and a segmented trunk that range in length from 2 to 30mm. They have a well-developed mouth with mandibles.
- They live in wet microhabitats and eat plants as well as some animal matter.
- Is there a distinction between the sexes?
- They can be found all around the world, although they are most plentiful in the tropics.
- Body is slender and delicate.
- A stiff spine (which assists mobility) and a specific sac that balances water and salts are situated at the base of every leg.
Subphylum Crustaceae is among the most well-known groupings of invertebrates, containing some of the most well-known animals (lobsters, crabs, and so on).
There are over 70,000 species of Crustaceae in the Subphylum Crustaceae, which are divided into six classes.
Crustaceans can be located in a range of habitats, from terrestrial to aquatic, depending on the species.
As a result, they differ widely in size, form, habit, and life cycle, among other traits.
Crustacean Classes and Characteristics
- Branchiopoda is a class of animals that belong to the branchiopod
- Branchiopods are organisms that belong to the class Branchiopoda, which is divided into three orders: Anostraca, Diplostraca and Notostraca.
- There are roughly 800 species in this category, which are divided into four major (living) groups: Anostraca, Cladocera, Conchostraca, and Notostraca.
- The bulk of these animals (including sea monkeys, tadpole shrimp, and clam shrimp) are aqueous and can be found in both freshwater and marine habitats.
- They come in a variety of sizes (0.25ml through 10cm in length) and body shapes, making it difficult to categorise them.
These species also have the following characteristics:
- The thorax and abdomen are joined together.
- The number of appendages differs between species.
- Eyes that are compound and/or simple
- In some species, parthenogenesis or sexual organization can be used to reproduce.
- Others hunt on tiny animals in their habitat, but the majority survive on suspended/settled organic debris.
- The cardiovascular and neurological systems, as well as the digestive and excretory systems, are all well developed.
Remipedia members have a cephalon as well as an extended, segmented trunk separated into two areas on their bodies.
The following are some of the traits connected with these organisms:
- Antennae and limbs that are angled laterally
- 10 through 32 body segments, ranging in length between 0.30 and 1.8 inches
- A set of mandibles and four maxillae make up the mouth parts.
- Can be spotted on the beaches of islands and in submerged marine caves.
- Consume a variety of shrimp and fish.
- Female and male reproductive systems are found in hermaphrodites.
This group’s members feature a head, as well as a divided thorax and abdomen.
The thorax (8 sections) possesses appendages on each segment, whereas the abdomen segments lack limbs.
There are 12 benthic species in this group, all of which are small (2-4mm), have a big head portion, without eyes, two sets of antenna (at the front of the jaw), mandibles, and two sets of maxillae, and have a telson upon the abdomen.
They feed on marine waste and can be observed in the intertidal zones.
Due to the numerous species which include copepods and barnacles, the class Maxillopoda is poorly understood.
Apart from barnacles, these organisms share a few traits, such as their tiny size and short bodies, through the use of the feet for feeding.
They may, on the other side, have a comparable number of components on their segmented bodies: 5 segments in the cephalic section, 6 segments in the thoracic section, and 4 segments in the abdominal section.
About 30,000 species of tiny bivalve mollusks make up the Ostracode class.
They can be found in a variety of aquatic habitats around the world, with the bulk of them dwelling on the ocean floor.
Some species, however, can be found in both freshwater ecosystems and moist terrestrial areas like woods. The bulk of ostracods reproduce sexually, with a few exceptions.
Ostracods have been demonstrated to be filter feeders in their natural habitats (lagoons, deep ocean, and freshwater bodies, for example).
Some, on the other hand, utilise their claws to eat smaller creatures.
Ostracods have a number of other traits, including:
- Lengths ranging from 0.1mm to 32mm
- They resemble shrimp. Pores can be found on their shells.
- They have the fewest limbs compared to other classes.
There are about 30,000 species in the Malacostraca class, which can be found in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial settings. They have a strong exoskeleton and a structure that is separated into three sections.
For the most part, Malacostracans are divided (five sections on each body part/section), with each segment possessing a pair of appendages.
Malacostracans have a number of other features, including:
- Gills on the inside of the body
- Larger members have a well-developed open circulatory system.
- A huge brain with ganglia attached to it
- The stomach is divided into two chambers.
- They are sexually dioecious.
- In nature, the bulk of these species are carnivorous.
With over 700,000 species, this is among the most varied categories.
Numerous winged creatures and some flightless species like proturans, springtails, and bristletails are among them.
The bulk of the species in this group live on land (in soil), however a few and varied larval versions can be observed in freshwater.
The following are some of the sub-key phylum’s characteristics:
- There are three body components.
- The thorax is supported by six jointed legs.
- Their eyes are compound.
Arthropods can feed in a variety of ways. There are specialisations within these major categories, such as herbivores, carnivores, detritus eaters, filter feeders, and parasites.
Usually, paired limbs from around their mouths are used to collect and handle food, and they are usually tailored according to the animal’s diet.
The mouthparts of the insect family Aphididae, for example, are designed to pierce vegetation and extract plant fluids.
Fiddler crustaceans, which come from tunnels on sand flats during low tide, sweep up surface sands with their little claws and deposit it within the mouthparts, where fine hairs sift it.
The mineral substance is discharged as a little “spitball,” while the material is digested.
Ejected debris from crabs may leave the top of a flat at the end of a low-tide period if there is a big population of crabs.
After reburying themselves, the crustacean mole crabs, also known as sand crabs, use their antenna to collect plankton out from receding waves.
With particular limbs (maxillae) near the mouth, planktonic crustacean copepods as small as a few millimetres long can capture up to a few thousand diatoms over 24 hours.
A variety of carnivorous arthropods, including scorpions, pseudoscorpions, and centipedes, employ poison to catch food, which is normally administered with a pair of limbs; scorpions use a solitary stinger at the tip of their tail.
The poison is delivered by a set of teeth (chelicerae) surrounding the mouth in spiders, and poison claws lie behind the head in centipedes.
Only a few of these species contain venom that can kill humans.
The foregut and hindgut (the front and back regions of the digestive tract) are coated with the same bones present around the outside of the body, which moults with the remainder of the skeleton.
Only the little middle region (midgut) is devoid of chitinous coating.
The structure of the digestive tract changes substantially depending on the animal’s diet and feeding method.
The midgut, on the other hand, is the primary site of enzymatic activity and processed food absorption.
In the instance of spiders, the enzymes may travel forwards into the front region of the guts or even outside through into the prey’s body.
Biodiversity refers to the diversity of living things at all scales, from genetics to organisms to environments – it is the bedrock of the biological sciences.
There is now widespread scientific agreement that species diversity is vanishing at an unparalleled rate in human history.
We know that rising biodiversity loss is affecting biosphere-level processes that provide $3-33 trillion in annual environmental services.
Biodiversity research is urgently needed because growing human populations and accompanying human activities are increasingly destroying natural areas that support biodiversity around the world.
Human influences on ecosystems (habitat destruction, fragmentation, and reorganisation) and creatures are among the causes of biodiversity loss.
Biodiversity is critical to human health: the quality of our air, water, and food is dependent on renewable processes and healthy ecosystems, which are fueled by biodiversity.
By explaining the unique characteristics of the biota and partnering with local academics, government, and conservation groups, work in the Division of Entomology contributes to a better knowledge and conservation of biodiversity.
Basic biological research must be hastened, otherwise we will be limited in our knowledge to fix looming scientific and human challenges.
Current Goals, Efforts, And Strategies
- Original research, student training, and public involvement through civic science and extension programmes are among major goals.
- Using collection-based study, comparative morphology, comparative genomes, and other applicable data, enhance our knowledge of evolutionary processes, arthropod biodiversity, and systematics.
- Conduct world-class studies on the development, ecosystems, and preservation of insects, especially pollinating and native insects.
Climate Change Implications For Arthropods
According to several research projects, tropical arthropods are highly vulnerable to climate change.
If these projections come true, climate change could have a far greater influence on tropical forest functioning and variety than previously thought.
Despite the fact that arthropods make up more than two-thirds of terrestrial animals, data on their prevalence and rates of extinction in tropical ecosystems is scarce.
The reaction of arthropods to climatic changes is of special importance due to their number, diversity, and essential functions as herbivores, pollination, predators, and prey.
According to research, rates of rise for insects dwelling at mid-to-high latitudes should increase as the temperature warms, while insects in the tropics should fall by up to 20%.
Reduced population growth paired with increased metabolic rates could result in lower abundances and higher extinction rates for arthropods.
If these projections come true, climate change might have a far greater influence on the operations and diversity of the world’s tropical forests than previously thought.
Despite the fact that arthropods make up a substantial portion of all terrestrial animals and are critical to the Earth’s ecosystems’ ecological well-being, long-term statistics on population richness and extinction trends are scarce.
Climate change, together with ecological disturbance and insecticides, have been identified as main causative processes in insect decline studies focusing on temperate species.
While climate change has been shown to reduce plant variety, modify species of plant composition, and increase trees, mortality, and biomass in tropical forests, very little data is available about the effects of climate change on rainforest arthropods.
Distribution Of Arthropods
We don’t know how the various families of arthropods are linked, despite the fact that they are everywhere.
Many competing theories have been suggested by scientists about how arthropods developed and diversified.
The links among groups of arthropods have been studied by scientists.
They used modern technology to re-examine known data and research some freshly discovered Cambrian fossils in an attempt to solve arthropod phylogenetic concerns.
DNA sequencing, electron microscopy, and machine phylogenetic analysis were among the novel technologies used by the researchers.
Because today’s animals have undergone a lot of evolution, it’s difficult to find knowledge about the arthropod phylogenetic tree’s deep branches.
Researchers investigate the phylogenies of every arthropod family and then select only those species which are most likely to reveal knowledge about their ancestors to improve their odds of obtaining evidence to these early branches.
Horseshoe crabs, scorpions, worms, leptostracan ‘shrimps,’ and wingless insects like silverfish are examples of such species.
Our comprehension of arthropod ancestry is far from complete, and finding definite answers to this topic will have far-reaching implications for biodiversity research.
Arthropods are classified as any member of the phylum Arthropoda, which includes such known types as spiders, millipedes, and lobsters, and is the biggest phylum in the animal kingdom.
Arthropods have existed for a very long period.
Their progenitors lived 530 million years back in Cambrian waters, during a period that is still poorly understood.
Arthropods exist today as a result of their ability to adapt to changing settings over such a long period of time.
This phylum contains around 84 percent among all known animal species.
Arthropods can be found in every ecosystem on the planet and exhibit a wide range of adaptations.
Several varieties live in aquatic conditions, while others live on land; some even have the ability to fly.
Due to the increasing impact of climate change and human activity on the environments of arthropods, efforts must be made to reduce the negative effects of these factors on the arthropods ecosystem to decrease the rates of extinction among their populations.

This sharpener works best with Shiseido pencils. The other sharpener that I had was from products that had been used prior to Shiseido and did nothing but waste my pencil. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone who is purchasing a pencil product from Shiseido consider adding one of these sharpeners to your cart as well! Great ancilliary product!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WILMETTE PARK DISTRICT
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING
Date: February 24, 2014
Location: Village Training Room
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Commissioners: Shelley; Olvany; Benz; Crowley
Staff: Lambrecht; Bingham; Wilson; Eppelheimer; Bowen; Heafey; Groves
Topics for Discussion:
1) Meeting Called to Order
2) Approval of Minutes
a) January 20, 2014
3) Communication and Correspondence
4) Recognition of Visitors
5) Manager’s Reports
6) Old Business
a) Underground Storage Tank at West Park
7) New Business
1) The Committee reviewed the minutes of January 20, 2014 and approved them by general consent.
2) Commissioner Shelly reported she had received a number of comments from people relative to the outdoor ice rink at Thornwood Park and how much they enjoyed being able to use it this season. Superintendent Lambrecht stated the rinks had just reopened after last week’s thaw and the crews are currently working on rebuilding them this week. Commissioner Olvany asked when the maintenance of the ice would stop. Superintendent Lambrecht replied it would be after February 1 and added that the ice base had remained this season so the crew is just leveling off the surface. The next warm up will signal the end of outdoor ice for the year.
Commissioner Olvany reported he had received a communication from Steve Keyser regarding a sports safety program that is now available. Staff reported they had emailed the information to all of the participants in both the house and travel football teams. The program is every Wednesday at the Evanston library.
3) Under Managers Reports, Recreation Program Manager Carol Heafey reported that she had hired a new General Recreation Supervisor and her name is Lindsay Thomas. Carol received 40 resumes and several of the candidates were excellent. Lindsay will begin working on March 17. Ms. Heafey also reported that she will be attending NRPA’s Revenue School at the Ogelbay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia, from March 9-14. Camps will begin on June 18 this summer and the schools have opted to take two days off to make up for the “snow days” experienced this winter. Staff is also reorganizing the training for counselors for June 12 and 13 and the Camp Open House will be held on June 14. To date, there are 1,789 total registered in recreation camps which is an increase of 371 from last year. To date no camps have sold out and most people are just putting down a deposit at this time. Ms. Heafey also reported that she has been meeting with school officials and PTA’s from Central, Harper and Romona Schools regarding after-school programs. They are also currently looking at options regarding the expansion of programs similar to the ones held at McKenzie into the other schools for the 2014-15 school year. Staff is currently waiting on the PTA’s to supply participation numbers for the programs currently in existence. Most of the programs are being run by outside contractors working for the PTA’s. Also, Harper School is only interested in having winter programs. Commissioner Shelly asked if any discussions have been held with Highcrest. Superintendent Bingham reported that the activities at Highcrest and Wilmette Junior High are more of a “club type” of atmosphere than what we would be involved with. Ms. Heafey went on to add that the basketball programs are winding down with just a few weeks left. There have been some issues with the schools this year in regard to cleanings due to the snows that seemed to occur every weekend.
The Daddy-Daughter dance was held this past Friday and one week ago there were only 30 couples signed up but after an email blast went out on Tuesday, the number increased to 97 couples. The Children’s Theater’s mini-production of 101 Dalmatians just finished its run. The show is only about 35 minutes long and is geared toward children age 7 to 9. A total of 1,479 tickets were sold for the six performances. Peter Pan is currently in production for the Wilmette Children’s Theatre and North Shore Theatre is currently working on How to Succeed in Business which is scheduled to open on April 25. Commissioner Shelly asked what show would be performed at the Wallace Bow this summer and Carol replied that Cinderella was the original choice but then the rights to the show were pulled back because there is still a national touring company in production. As a result, staff is currently working on coming up with a replacement show. Staff also has had a number of special activities planned for Spring Break week that are being offered at no charge.
Recreation Facilities General Manager Jeff Groves reported that Gymnastics currently has 1,732 enrolled in the current session which ends on March 30. The summer sessions currently have 38 enrolled in Session I and 44 in Session II and they will probably end up closer to 90 and 100, respectively. The team has one more regular meet and then some of the players will move on to the State meet and if anyone qualifies, they will then move on to Regionals.
Fitness has been very busy during the winter and we currently have 1,908 memberships. The “Lose to Win” program that was developed by staff ended up with 57 participants which far exceeded staff’s expectations. There are also more women than men and the highest loser among the men has lost 21 pounds. The biggest loser among women has lost 18 pounds and the average age for both men and women is 40 to 60. The participants are currently in week six of eight and staff hopes to convert some of the participants to full memberships. Staff is also developing incentives to encourage them to join the program. Currently, all but five are non-members and staff is hoping to get at least 50% of them to convert.
Also, staff is participating again in the second year of “Steps for Success” which involves teams of staff members competing against each other to reach the highest number of steps. These programs have promoted camaraderie and have helped a lot of people to keep on moving. The Active Adults programs at Mallinckrodt held their annual
Valentine’s Day party with 45 people in attendance. There are currently 645 members along with 180 members of the Walking Club. The center also has a very popular new class about genealogy and a new assistant has been hired to work at the facility and she will begin Thursday, February 27.
Superintendent Lambrecht reported that snow removal costs are having a large impact on the budget. To date for the various line items that have been impacted, the breakdown indicates overtime is up 194%, part time employees is up 20%, material costs are up 400% (sidewalk salt), and fuel costs are up 50% over 2013. Staff has tried to minimize the impact by splitting schedules on regular week days and having two shifts but that has meant keeping some seasonal staff on hand who would normally be gone by now. Most of the storms have occurred on the weekends and it has been difficult to keep the overtime down especially while still maintaining outdoor ice. The net increase to the budget comparatively speaking is $30,437.
4) Under Old Business, Commissioner Shelly asked about the status of the Village’s proposed sewer project at West Park. Executive Director Wilson reported that the Village is currently working on their designs. Once that is completed, our consultants will be able to refine their estimates since they will then know what they will be building on. It is also anticipated that the Village will bring something back to us sometime later in the summer. Staff will continue to monitor the progress with the Village staff and return to the Committee with any further updates.
5) Under New Business, the Committee agreed that the March meeting would be held on March 24th prior to the Financial Planning & Policy Committee Meeting.

your future self is there to help you become more courageous. can you ask for help?
let me tell you a story.
There are days when I feel defeated. I don’t know what I am doing, but I know that I have my eyes on my north star. This is the impact I want to have in my own life, which will then be of service to the small world around me and maybe even reach the greater world.
I have always believed in focusing on my impact over a specific job title or career track. I want to help as many people as possible find their voice, know that it matters and use it to help them own their vision and share it to serve the world around them.
This has been the same goal for many years.
But, I am also very human. I have difficult days. Running a business comes with challenging moments. While there are the days when I can work remotely (on the beach) or from home, there are also days when it is overwhelming to manage the daily activities of running any business.
But I do this work because I deeply believe that when we find our voice, we find the power (and the courage) to rewrite our story and decide how we will share it with the world.
And it is these stories that impact how we show up in our personal and professional lives and how we engage with our customers.
on my most difficult days, I summon the courage of my future self. This is the woman I want to be and the woman I am aspiring to be like. She is the woman I cannot yet fully know or see. She is always changing and always shifting, but I know she exists.
When this moment seems difficult, I summon her courage. I know that if I try just a little bit, she will step in and support me.
So, can you ask your future self to stand beside you? Can you look back at who you were a year ago and remember who you are now?
This self gives me hope because she reminds me that we will always change and evolve. Sometimes those changes serve us and sometimes they derail us, but we always have the ability to reset and create a different future.
Keep going dear creative. I want to see your brilliance.
Your Future Self

Aside from the quality escape that the legend on the bottom of the video is mismatched from the labels on the Y-axis, this video is a little surprising to me:
President Obama appears to be taking credit for the increase in oil production over the last three years. Yet here is candidate Obama in 2008 explaining that it takes 10 years for oil drilling efforts to take effect (actually probably closer to 5):
It is misleading to point out that domestic oil production is up under the Obama administration, as the groundwork for the increase was clearly laid many years ago. I’m not aware of any specific actions the administration has taken in the last three years that would lead to increased production.

Eggplant "bacon" chips
Just a few simple ingredients for this vegan treat:
• Eggplant, 1 cup raw to make 1/4 cup dried chips
• 1 roma tomato per serving
• Oil, 2 tbs. per cup of eggplant
• Hemp milk (or substitute), 2 tbs. per cup of eggplant
• Salt water for soaking
I sliced my eggplant on the thinnest setting on a mandoline (you can use a vegetable peeler), put in a dish, covered slices with water and added about a tsp. of salt per cup of eggplant. I let this soak, covered, overnight in the fridge until lots of brown water leached out, leaving the fruit very white. You may even skip this step if you like, but I wanted as little "grassy" flavor left in the final product as possible.
I drained the water, patted the eggplant dry, and tossed with olive oil. I marinated this at room temperature for 2 hours. The eggplant will absorb the oil readily.
Add the hemp milk and stir. I left the eggplant in the fridge overnight at this stage. You may dry the eggplant immediately. Some browning will begin to occur as the enzymes do their work. I added the sliced tomato, once again to override any "grassy" taste the eggplant might still have.
My eggplant went in a dehydrator at 105 at around noon, and came out looking like well-cooked bacon at 8 a.m. the next morning. You may find you need less time.
There was still a bit of a "grassy" aftertaste, but for the most part, it was an excellent bacon-like treat I will definitely make again right away.
• Add to spinach salad with Vegenaise or any Italian-style dressing.
• Omit the tomato and make a spinach-fruit salad, with apple or citrus

Treasury, IRS Extend Upcoming Filing and Payment Deadline
The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced Wednesday, March 17 that the federal income tax filing due date for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021. Information on state congruence and information on quarterly filings pending.
American Rescue Plan Act Enacted
On 3/11/21, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2), which provides for $1.9 trillion in relief funds. This Act has various components that will impact tax profiles, including the expansion of some personal credits and unemployment exclusions, stimulus checks for eligible taxpayers, the extension of increased unemployment benefits, and additional funds allocated to the Paycheck Protection Program.
Biden Discusses Tax Increases for Certain Individuals and Businesses
As a follow-up to the recently approved COVID-related relief bill, the Biden administration is beginning talks around tax law changes. For individuals, the Biden administration has discussed raising the tax rate for the highest earners (those above $400,000) to 39.6%, taxing capital gains like ordinary income if taxpayers earn more than $1,000,000, and increasing estate tax rates to 45% for assets worth $1,000,000. For businesses, the most significant proposal would raise the corporate tax rate to 28%. There have also been discussions around changing the way that pass-through entities are treated (i.e., not respected as LLCs or partnerships).
Upcoming Tax Deadline News
Some House Ways & Means members have asked the IRS to extend the tax filing deadline as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pressure on taxpayers and IRS processing; at a virtual tax conference earlier this week, the IRS Commission again said that the IRS has no plans to extend the tax return filing deadline beyond April 15, 2021. We will continue to update as news develops around this topic.
Payroll Tax Deferral
The Internal Revenue Service today released Notice 2021-11 addressing how employers who elected to defer certain employees’ taxes can withhold and pay the deferred taxes throughout 2021 instead of just the first four months of the year. See overview and notice.
The Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) Foresees Potential Problems for IRS During Current Filing Season
GAO was asked to review IRS’s performance during the 2020 filing season. This report (1) describes the changes IRS made to operations and services for the 2020 filing season due to the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) assesses IRS’s performance on providing customer service and processing individual and business income tax returns during the 2020 filing season and compare to prior filing seasons, where appropriate; and (3) evaluates IRS’s plans to prepare for the 2021 filing season.
New Information on Filing Form 1040-X
The IRS has released the 2020 revision of Form 1040-X (Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) and associated instructions. The revision contains new information about e-filing and mailing the form. E-filing is available for amending 2019 and 2020 returns that were originally e-filed; an amended return for tax year 2019 or 2020 also can be filed on paper. Instructions for mailing and correct addresses can be found in the Form 1040-X instructions. If a taxpayer is amending a return in response to an IRS notice, the return should be mailed to the address in the notice and FAQs.
Administration Releases 2021 Trade Policy Agenda
US Trade Representative released its 2021 Trade Policy Agenda outlining the new Administration’s plans for trade policy in the year ahead. The Trade Policy Agenda lays out a focus on expanding the domestic economy and dealing with the economic impacts of COVID-19; it does not call for a conclusion of any of the outstanding trade agreements.
Pennsylvania 2021 SUI tax rate factors and taxable wage base to remain the same
In the calendar year 2021 employer state unemployment insurance (SUI) experience tax rates continue to range from 1.2905% to 9.9333%. The new employer rate remains at 3.6890% for non-construction employers and 10.2238% for construction employers.

If there’s a silver lining to the dark coronavirus cloud for investors, it’s that markets are now considerably cheaper than they’ve been for a long time.
When will prices reach their lowest point? The simple answer is that no one knows. And since knows one knows, I wouldn’t attempt to dissuade anyone from putting at least some of their spare cash to work in the near future. Better to start buying quality stocks when they’re already on sale, in my opinion, than miss out on the eventual recovery.
With this in mind, here are three I’d consider beginning to accumulate today.
One can’t deny that the car industry has rarely faced such uncertainty.
For me, however, vehicle marketplace Auto Trader (LSE: AUTO) has a number of the things I look for when sizing up stocks: a huge market share, great returns on capital employed, and sky-high margins.
So, would I go ‘all in’ as things stand? Certainly not. Aside from the idea of a one-month bear market following a ten-year bull market feeling a tad optimistic, few people will be looking to buy a car for a while.
Notwithstanding this, Auto Trader has sought to reassure investors that it’s in a good place financially. At the end of February, it had £111m of its revolving credit facility undrawn. There are certainly firms out there with less headroom than this, which might go some way to explaining why the share price is down less than 20% over the last month.
If you believe the long-term investment case remains solid (and I do), this quality operation warrants a closer look.
Despite only a few of its depots remaining open to serve trade customers, kitchen supplier Howden Joinery (LSE: HWDN) is another firm I’d have no trouble dipping my toe into as things stand.
With £267m net cash and an undrawn borrowing facility of £140m, the FTSE 250 member was in an excellent financial position at the start of 2020.
To help things further, investment has been scaled back, the share buyback programme has been suspended, and the final dividend ditched until the full consequences of the coronavirus for the business are known. This all makes perfect sense to me.
Naturally, paying the mortgage will take priority over a new kitchen in a coronavirus-induced recession but the strong relationships that Howden has built up with customers over the years should prove priceless.
A third stock I’d feel comfortable buying at the current time is actually a former holding of mine – Manchester-based, fast-fashion giant Boohoo (LSE: BOO).
Although the company has still to update the market on the impact of Covid-19 on business so far, I sincerely doubt trading has remained as good as it was. To quote Next’s CEO, Lord Woolfson, “People do not buy a new outfit to stay at home“.
True as that may be, I suspect Boohoo stands a far better chance of bouncing back to form given its strong brand and the relatively inexpensive price tags of its wares. The AIM star also had £245m in net cash on its balance sheet back in January.
Boohoo’s stock is down 35% in one month. For anyone considering building a position now, I’m inclined to think the long-term returns will compensate for any initial period spent ‘underwater’.

Sales is the blood of the companies wealth kaya believe in your product kasi kapag wala ang products mo wala kang chance na yumaman sa negosyo. The misconception about sales maraming taong nag-iisip kailangan magaling ka magsalita, kailangan magaling ka mag-sales talk bla bla bla. Alam mo sa totoo lang sales is basically just sharing, educating and telling stories sa totoo lang every human is a natural salesman we have been selling since we are a kid hindi lang natin alam. The only difference with the great salesman is that they know the truth about sales all our life in selling indirectly and not making money so this time why make some money. Ito yong isang example diba noong bata ka bumili ka ng ice cream tapos ang sabi mo ang sarap then narinig ng isang bata nagtanong sayo kung saan mo binili syempre sinabi mo kung saan. Ang nangyari umuwi ang bata sa bahay nila at nagpabili sa mama niya ng ice cream tanong ko sayo bumili ba sila ng ice cream dahil sayo diba? Oo bumili siya pero kumikita ka ba malamang wala that's why you selling since you were a kid.
Study Your Product
Kapag mas marami kang alam sa produkto mo mas madali kang makabenta not only just power learn the products then attend product training.
Healthy Self-Esteem and Good Sense of Humor
Be excited and passionate don't just over your wet the simple smile can help sell a lot of product.
Keep Your Mouth Shut and Ears Open
The crucial first three minutes is all about the customer remember it is not all about your and your products. Don't talk about the opportunity above all don't recite your sales pitch use FORM kung kakausapin si customer FAMILY OCCUPATION RECREATION AND MESSAGE pag-usapan mo muna ang family niya, tungkol sa trabaho niya kung ano ang pinagkakaabalahan niya and last give him a message na gusto mong ioffer sa kanya. Sa totoo lang walang pakialam ang tao sayo until they understand how great you think they are. Huwag ka muna magfocus sa pagbebenta ng products mo instead ask probing question. For example ano bang product ginagamit mo masaya ka ba sa product nayan? Don't forget to share the stories sa mga taong gumagaling dahil sa product niyo in short mga testimonials ng product niyo ikwento mo sa kanila.
Think in Terms of Building Business Relationships
Build a relationship the reason why if you create a long term business relationship anytime you can close or offer to them anything mas madali nalang kung kilala mo ang isang tao una may tiwala na sayo kaya maintain good relationship. Kapag satisfied ang customer mo at may tiwala na sayo naging malalim pa yong relationship niyo your customer can refer you to his friends or family kaya please maintain a good rapport with your customer.
Give them the Sense of Urgency Why they need the Products
This step is for people selling health product food supplement scare them a little bit educate them that their current condition is still curable . Educate them about hospital bills (Prevention can help save you more money). Na napakalaki ang gagastusin nila kung na-ospital sila.
Show You Care
Nahahalata ng tao kung wala kang paki-alam sa kanila at kapag alam nila wla kang paki-alam sa kanila wla din silang paki-alam sayo ipakita mo ang sense of genuine service doon pa sila bibili ng product because you care love the fact that you care about them.
Don't Accept No as Final
Do not let yourself be intimidated by negative responses you get if the customer said "NO" they did not reject you instead the opportunity you offer to them. Most of the time hindi maintindihan ng customer mo so you need to try to educate them sometimes maling product ino-offer mo sa kanya kaya re-evaluate.
Keep a Log Book
Isulat mo kung kailan bumili ang customer ng product sayo para next time alam mo kung kailan mo sila ifofollow up kung masaya ba sila sa product try mo ifollow up after 1 week kumustahin mo sila about the product kung nagustuhan ba nila ang product effective ba. Pwede rin sila tawagan to follow up them sabihin mo ay tita kumusta ang health niyo okay po ba ang product na nakuha mo? ganon lang ka simple and be the best you can be.

Happy Easter Monday crafty friends! I was lucky enough to have a four day weekend break to spend with family and friends. Very relaxing with lots of love, laughs and yes some craft time :) I hope you all had a great Easter weekend.
I felt like playing with Distress Inks for this project! All of the products can be found in the Butterfly Reflections Ink. Shop
I started with a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor paper and loosely painted on a rainbow of Distress Inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet) once the panel dried I went back in with some (Blueprint Sketch, Mowed Lawn, Fossilized Amber, and Seedless Preserves) to add depth.
I then decided to use the Wplus9 Color my World paint tubes and colored them and the paint brush with my Copic Sketch markers and fussy cut all of my images. I have always loved the Lawn Fawn You Color my World sentiment so I white embossed it on Lawn Fawn Black card stock. I placed all of my elements on the Distress panel and cut the excess from my Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die.
I also painted the tip of the paintbrush with my white Gelly Roll for the illusion of paint. Once my card was put together I added a rainbow of both 4mm and 6mm Pretty Pink Posh sequins.
If any of these products interest you just follow the links and they will take you directly to the shop! If any products are listed as out of stock, simply select the notify me option. Vanessa stocks quickly!
Have a great week!

The Rotary Club of Grand Cayman held its annual changeover dinner and installation of new officers and directors last Thursday night, 6 July.
Outgoing president David Kirkaldy said the past year had been a successful one for the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman.
‘Our year theme was service above self, and my directors have accomplished a series of objectives that met this theme and ultimately resulted in our club being granted a District Governor’s Award,’ he said. ‘The past year’s theme got back the core of Rotary and after a year of hard work following Ivan, I took this theme to be a call to get back to the basics and core activities of the club.’
In addition to supporting the goals and projects of Rotary International, the club concentrated on several community projects in 2005-06, including the Cease Fire gun buy-back programme and the Meals on Wheels programme.
A new programme for high school students, called Adventures in Citizenship, was successfully launched during the year. Rotarian Jim Howse, who proposed the idea, was awarded Rotarian of the Year by Mr. Kirkaldy largely because of his efforts with the new programme.
The year was also very successful financially, with the highlight being the Camelot Auction, which netted CI$115,000 and left the club in a healthy financial situation for the new administration.
Mr. Kirkaldy took time to honour the Rotarians that died during his year, which included Past President David Foster, founding member Norberg Thompson, and long-time member George Serrant. He also noted that Donia Parsons, wife of long time Rotarian Reggie Parsons, also died during the year.
The evening included the award of the Custos Edmund Parsons Memorial Paul Harris Fellowship Award. The award is named after of Rotarian Reggie Parson’s grandfather, who was the last native-born chief executive of the Cayman Islands from the years 1888 through
Richard ‘Dick’ Arch was given the Custos Parsons Award this year, following Will Jackson, Olive Miller, Harold ‘Jay’ Bodden and Elizabeth Hurlston as past distinguished Caymanian recipients.
New President Joey Hew challenged the Rotarians to make a difference in the community through one positive act at a time.
‘We are not just a Thursday social club or a weekly gathering of friends for a good old time, but instead we are community leaders who gather to address today’s most critical issues such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, literacy and domestic violence,’ he said.
Other new officers installed at the event included President Elect Sharon Hurlston, Vice President Lindsay Scott, Secretary Lori McRae, and Treasurer Niko Whittaker. Mr. Kirkaldy remains an officer as Immediate Past President.
Directors for the coming year include Mr. Scott, Austin Harris, Trevor Neckles, Eduardo D’Angelo Silva, Eric Bush, Alan Roffey, Ian Barnard and Sue Nicholson.

I don’t check the house tab as often as I used to, but when I run across records like this, I wonder what other goodies I’m missing. This is the debut release by The Reboot Joy Confession on Soulphiction’s Philpot label.
Unfortunately, I can’t even tell you much about the artist (or artists?) as he prefers to remain anonymous. What I can tell you is this: on the a-side you will find a collaboration with the legendary Dwight Trible, known for his vocal contributions to the Pharoah Sanders Quartet or Build An Ark among others. Together they come up with a freeform electronic piece, a spiritual journey made of synthesizers, flutes and Dwight’s chanting, held together only by a loose hip-hop beat. The flipside comes with two more house-oriented tracks, a delight for fans of KDJ and the likes.
November 14, 2010 I have two copies to give-away, you can enter the competition here!

Arts and Culture in the Metropolis: Strategies for Sustainability
Publisher: RAND Corporation | ISBN: 0833038907 | edition 2007 | PDF | 122 pages | 2,9 mb
The nonprofit arts currently face an environment that challenges the way they have grown and raises the prospect of future consolidation. The authors focus on the relationship among the components of local communities' arts ecology and develop a new framework for evaluating systems of support to the arts. They then use this framework to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Philadelphia1s arts sector.The nonprofit arts currently face an environment that challenges the way the arts have grown and raises the prospect of future consolidation. Cognizant of these problems, William Penn Foundation and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance asked RAND to examine the condition of Philadelphia’s arts and culture sector and recommend actions to ensure its sustainability. The authors identify the sources and characteristics of this new environment and describe the ways local arts communities are responding to the challenges confronting them. In the course of their analysis of eleven metropolitan regions, including Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh, they introduce two novel ways of examining the local arts sector. First, they focus on the relationship among the three components of communities’ “arts ecology”: their arts infrastructures; the support systems upon which the arts depend; and the sociodemographic, economic, and the political environment in which they operate. Second, they create a new framework for describing and evaluating the range of support services that communities provide to their arts sectors. They then use this framework to analyze the components of Philadelphia’s arts ecology and assess its specific strengths and weaknesses.

Slot Review - Yggdrasil - Ozwins Jackpots
Welcome to Yggdrasil's latest Jackpot slot!
Ozwins Jackpots is a five-reel, three-row video slot, boasting with special symbols like Free-spins symbols, Bonus symbols, and orbs (?!!!). You will also find not one but five jackpots that are up for grabs. The theme in Ozwins Jackpots is fantasy and wizardry. Return to player is set at 96.7% by Yggdrasil themselves.
Design and Symbols
Yggdrasil went for fantasy inspired design in Ozwins Jackpots with a beautiful frame, custom symbols, and buttons. Can I find anything to point the finger at here? Not really. The design is well thought-through, and the standard picture card symbols which most slots seem to fall back on nowadays is not to be found anywhere in Ozwins Jackpots. The symbols you will recognize is the clubs, hearts, diamonds, and spades from a card-deck. The remaining symbols are unique to Ozwins Jackpots. Special symbols include Free-spins symbols, Bonus symbols, plus these orbs and crystals you can collect for the Jackpot Free-spins.
Special Features in Ozwins Jackpots
This slot is very centered around the jackpots available. So most special features get you to the jackpot one way or the other.
Jackpot free-spins Ozwins Jackpots.
The main feature and what will pull in the crowd to try out Ozwins Jackpots is the... wait for it.... Jackpots. You can win the jackpots by collecting orbs during free-spins. These orbs are not to be confused with the crystals collected during the main game as these will merely get you to the Free-spin rounds in which you can win the Jackpot.
Getting to the jackpot with crystals in Ozwins Jackpots.
During the main game, you will notice you have a few slots under each jackpot on top of your wheels. As you spin, you will start collecting these crystals, and as soon as you have accumulated at least 5 of one color, the jackpot free-spins is activated. Here you can try to gather Jackpot Orbs. You will start with one orb in the color your initiated the spins with when starting the jackpot free-spins with crystals in the main game.
There are several ways to get to the jackpots, either by gathering crystals or getting 3 or more Bonus Symbols during the main game.
Getting to the jackpot with free-spin symbols in Ozwins Jackpots.
The free-spin symbol in Ozwins Jackpots will send you to the Jackpot free-spins game with ten spins if you receive at least three symbols. The only difference from this feature compared to collecting crystals is that you will not start with an extra orb in any color, and if you are lucky and land on more than three free-spin symbols, you will get an additional Coin prize (but no free-spins mind you.)
Spellbook Bonus Game.
Collect Spellbooks to get extra prizes!
If three or more Spellbook symbols lands on the wheels during the main game, you will activate the Spellbook Bonus Game.
You will be presented with 18 spellbooks, which grants coins, crystals, and finally a hidden evil spell that stops the bonus game.
I played the play-money version of Ozwins travels a good 45 minutes today, and honestly, I got to the Jackpot free-spins once by collecting the crystals and had two shots at the jackpots with the help of the free-spin symbol. – I would love to see the free-spins a bit more often, as there's seemingly no way to get some re-spins or more free-spins during the Jackpot free-spin game. Personally, I'm a fantasy fanatic, so I will most probably fall back on this slot due to that fact. I'll most likely check out the jackpot when we see this slot getting launched on more sites.

The War with Grandpa
Starring Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Jane Seymour, Oakes Fegley, Christopher Walken. Cheech Marin
More than being funny, the movie’s to be admired more for the “arms” grandpa and grandson use to wage their war. Peter (Fegley) is incensed when his mother (Thurman) decides that it’s too risky for her father to remain in his own home, and forces him to move in with her family. For this to happen, Grandpa (De Niro) is going into Peter’s room, and he will be put up in the attic. After the boy pulls a few tricks on his grandfather to protest, Grandpa agrees they are at war, so based on his own experience in military service, he draws up rules of engagement that he and Peter agree to abide by.
That’s when the “fun” begins as each side pulls in buddies who egg each of them on. Part of the pact is that it stays secret; no one in the family is to know about it—war secrets in other words. Grandpa has in mind that this will be an educational lesson for Peter, and is unaware of his own competitive streak—even toward a kid.
Warfare involves what seemed to me to be fairly sophisticated electronics, mechanical knowledge (Grandpa is a former home builder), and, to them, hilarious booby traps involving a drone, manipulation of music LPs, remote control cars, rearranging snacks, spiking coffee, a snake, and on and on. Sometimes by accident, the antics miss their target and affect other people. But since Peter and his Grandpa haven’t revealed their war, no one knows they’re behind the tricks missing their mark. In one satisfying sequence, the school bully who is consistently commandeering Peter’s backpack gets a trick blow-up in his face.
Will delight many families who like this kind of set-up and humor.
Tim Hill ofSpongeBob SquarePants fame directs this film written by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, based on a book of the same title by Robert Kimmel Smith. It succeeds but, as I say, more for the fascination of the warfare tools than for comedy; unless you’re one of those people who invariably laughs at pratfalls, and if so, you will find comedy here.
The film is not without some heartfelt scenes of family love, friendship, and honor. These are well done and are not too treacly, and often show the character learning something from experience.
Oakes Fegley (Wonderland, Pete’s Dragon) again proves his acting skills such that he was able to hold his own with the proven versatile skills of Robert De Niro. The two together have a wonderful dynamic reflecting an emotional bond. Uma Thurman chews up a role like this as easily as a practiced tennis shot. She is convincing as a daughter, wife, and mother always steering a family sometimes going awry. Not her fault but a flaw in the writing was one of the last scenes showing her tackling a teenager. After her husband’s (Rob Riggle) multiple deferential statements about her, this was overkill.
I imagine this film will delight many families who like this kind of set-up and humor. I find it more in the realm of the kind of entertainment that appeals to many Americans more than more substantive fare. For those liking movies like Meet the Parents, this will be a hit.
A war unlike any you’ve seen before.

I'm really starting to be out of words how to try and explain how amazing this is.
This chapter was full of raw emotion. I loved it. Loved it.
I can't say more than I seriously can't wait for the next chapters to come and get to read more of this.

What goes better with college football than a nice cold beer? Not much if you ask me and it appears that a couple of breweries local to Athens, Georgia and Knoxville, Tennessee agree. Athens brewery Terrapin Beer Company (recently named one of the top 25 craft brewers in the US) has collaborated with the Knoxville based Saw Works Brewing Company to create a beer just for this rivalry.
The beer is called 35th Parallel Ale, which is an Amber IPA, in honor of the Georgia/Tennessee border war. With the game being held in Knoxville this season, Saw Works will "host" the beer this season. If you live in the Knoxville area or will be in town for the game then click here for the availability of the beer.
Next season the beer will be brewed in Athens at the larger Terrapin facility, which also cans and bottles their beer, so we can hope that the beer might be a little more accessible in 2014. The plan right now is to brew the beer each year in time for the rivalry game and to keep it in each team's hometown. The two breweries also plan on making a rivalry trophy that will stay with the brewery whose team wins the game.

She made me to discover you
To uncover your sombre eyes
And play my sweetest songs to you
In the light of your dark disguise
I'll hide the abstract and bring to you
The concrete words that misery elides
I know you
Will struggle to navigate the lines
To understand when I suggest to you
This adultery on the simple norm
But I'll bring my honeyed lines to you
And let you consume me in that new form
I am just sitting across from you
Hoping to get caught up in your eyes
My words sing from the page to you
Composing an unutterable query
Is this what you want for me and you
To slouch in soft melancholy?
Or will I make it across to you?
Catch me alone and kiss me on the mouth.
I used to sit in the kitchen with you
Wishing that you could hear the mental odes
That I was always writing about you
And the way that you laughed at me
Then I'd be on the bed with you
Discussing how to be happy
How to separate ourselves from everybody else
How to break away and be happy
We parted before I could answer you
Then you sent me the name of a love song:
'I'm afraid to be the melancholic one;
Catch me alone and kiss me on the mouth.'

Truth: I spent Christmas alone in 2009 after moving to New York City a few months prior and finding myself both too broke to afford a flight home and too proud to ask my folks to pay for my ticket. I was also too proud to accept offers from friends to come and stay with their families, deciding that being the odd one out at a big get-together would be even worse than being the odd one in (my apartment, by myself).
On Christmas Day I failed miserably at Skyping home because my family celebrates out in the middle of the countryside where there's apparently no wi-fi service. I managed to get a paper cut opening my gifts; the Uniqlo sweater I really wanted arrived in the wrong size. I then burned two turkey drumsticks and a large portion of sweet potato fries, was forced to order Domino's pasta bread bowls as my Christmas dinner, and then drank a large amount of peppermint-flavored liqueur and fell asleep watching The Golden Girls at like 5 p.m.
(On the plus side, my apartment was not burglarized.)
strong>Lie: That impressing a Portuguese lady and her feisty extended family with a declaration of love in garbled Portuguese will win them all over.
Truth: If you don't speak their language perfectly, Europeans will nod in a patronizing manner and say something like "Merry…. how you say it, Christmas?" (It's a total Saison Marguerite move.) They will then continue ignore your attempts at speaking their language entirely and speak to you like you are a toddler in English as broken as your Portuguese/French/Spanish for the remainder of the evening.
(Bonus lie: That Love Actually is a good film. It's not.)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Lie: That "maybe Christmas means a little bit more" than just presents and overeating.
Truth: It's almost certainly just the presents and the overeating. Why do you think so many people find sweatpants under tree on Christmas morning?
Lie: That you can catch a train to the North Pole from Grand Central Station on Christmas Eve.
Truth: You can't catch a train from Grand Central Station on Christmas Eve period. You probably can't even catch a cab. (OK, technically public transportation runs fine — but good luck with that ticket line.)
The Santa Clause
Lie: That dressing up as Santa Claus will, eventually, turn you into Santa Claus.
Truth: With the exception of mall Santas, dressing up as Santa Claus means one of the following things, all of which are awful: you are a Santa stripper, you are THAT GUY at a Christmas party, you are participating in Santacon, or you are out to ruin Gretchen Weiners' life (which is the worst). Dressing up like Santa's sexy helper, however, a la Regina George, is fine.
Speaking of Regina George…
Lie: That "fetch" isn't going to happen.
Truth: IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED.
*I'm well aware Mean Girls is not really a holiday movie. But it's like, totally fetch enough that it warrants inclusion anyway.
Lie: That anything that happens in that sappy rom-com The Holiday would actually happen.
Truth: It just won't — especially the Jude Law parts — but damn it I'm crying anyway.
Lie: That anything that happens in terrifying horror flick Black Christmas could actually happen.
Truth: It just can't — especially the stabbed-to-death-by-a-ceramic-unicorn scene — but damn it I'm whimpering anyway.
Lie: That it is feasible to placate warring relatives and celebrate more than one Christmas in a day, and that you/ you and your partner will come out of the experience with a new lease on life.
Truth: It is theoretically possible to celebrate two Christmases in one day. Possibly even three, if you are a masochist like that. But if your family's holiday dynamics are so complicated that they necessitate separate shindigs, someone will inevitably be pissed off if they're not the first person you visit, or the last, or that you ate great aunt Grace's turkey first because that bitch does not know how to season food, she never has.
(Bonus lie #2: That Vince Vaughn could EVER land Reese Witherspoon, even when her character is unbalanced enough to have a fear of inflatable castles. The only thing Four Christmases gets right is the whole "let's just holiday in Fiji instead" deal.)
The Muppet's Christmas Carol
Lie: That some sort of ghostly intervention will turn your curmudgeonly colleague into the chirpiest of chirpy Christmas fangirls.
Truth: There will always be that someone in the office who regifts the proceeds of last year's Secret Santa (which will inevitably be a travel-sized, holiday-scented Yankee Candle). So look forward to it.
Lie: That if Zooey Deschanel began singing a Christmas song in the middle of Central Park, people would join in.
Truth: People would run away screaming at the faux-adorableness of it all, because it's just too much to take. And/or they would pelt her with rotten fruit and shit, like that scene on the Queensboro bridge in the original Spiderman movie, because that is a much more accurate depiction of New Yorkers.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Lie: That kidnapping your boss as payback for not getting that Christmas bonus will work out well.
Truth: It won't.
Lie: That if you are married to Bruce Willis and terrorists hijack your company's Christmas party/the airport your plane is due to land at, he will come and save you.
Truth: I mean, he might. It just seems unlikely. These days you stand a much better chance of this sort of thing happening if you are married to Kellan Lutz.
Nightmare Before Christmas
Lie: That residents of Halloween Town and Christmas Town would struggle to get along, because their sensibilities are just too different.
Truth: Pumpkin pie. That's all.
Miracle on 34th Street
And one universal truth, just to finish on a positive note: the Santa Claus in Macy's Herald Square flagship IS, in fact, the real deal. All department store Santas are, because the holidays are magic like that.

It has been a hard few quarters for IBM mainframe fans. Mainframe revenues kept declining quarter by quarter, the long anticipated hybrid mainframe—the one IBM had been telegraphing for over a year—seemed like it would never arrive, and the mainframe-is-dead crowd appeared emboldened (I was even hired to write a piece on what IBM could do to save the mainframe from extinction.). Well, the zEnterprise 196 was announced in July, orders have been flowing in, and deliveries started in September. Sorry, the mainframe still isn’t dead.
To the contrary, IBM’s latest quarterly financials clearly reflect what mainframe folks have been expecting, a significant increase in System z revenue. As reported yesterday: Systems revenues increased 8 percent (9 percent, adjusting for currency). Revenues from System z mainframe server products increased 15 percent compared with the year-ago period. Total delivery of System z computing power, as measured in MIPS (millions of instructions per second), increased 54 percent. Revenues from System Storage increased 7 percent IBM quarterly report. The biggest winner, however, was System x; revenues up 30 percent.
Although revenues from Power Systems decreased 13 percent compared with the 2009 period revenues overall from the Systems and Technology segment totaled $4.3 billion for the quarter, up 10 percent (11 percent, adjusting for currency) from the third quarter of 2009. Systems and Technology pre-tax income was $327 million, an increase of 46 percent.
No doubt that orders for the z196 are flowing in. Speaking with mainframe managers at an IBM System z event in Boston two weeks ago, a number had placed orders for the new machine and more were expecting to place orders in 2011 in keeping with either their budgeting or refresh cycles.
More zEnterprise goodies are expected later this year and in 2011. The x86 blades should begin arriving by mid 2011. Before that the zBX extension cabinet should hit. Later in 2011 the smaller and cheaper business class z196 machines will be announced. IBM also says that discounted Solution Editions for the z196 will appear around then. The Solution Editions are deeply discounted package of z hardware, middleware, and software intended to entice customers, even existing z customers, to try new workloads on the mainframe.
For me, the only disappointment in the results was the decrease in revenues of the Power System group. Power Systems got a new fast POWER7 processor earlier this year. The server lineup also got a refresh earlier this year and again just a few weeks ago.
One thing IBM is not expecting as far as Power Systems go, however, is a major movement to consolidate AIX servers on the z196. For one thing, the necessary blades and the zBX extension cabinet won’t really be here until 2011. More importantly IBM expects the movement of AIX servers to the zBX to come in onesies and twosies as each organization goes through a fit-for-purpose analysis of each individual workload. Good thing because the AIX managers I’ve spoken with certainly aren’t enthusiastic about that prospect.
Although it is heartening to see the mainframe back on track, and with numbers to prove it, don’t expect the mainframe-is-dead story to disappear completely. It will live on forever like a stale Monty Python routine.

Explain the specific factors that contributed to American Cold War anxiety..
Read “Life in the U.S. During the Cold War,” attached, and take notes about what it was like to live in the U.S. during this unique period of history. Then, watch the videos linked below. Family Life During the Cold War 1945-1991 looks at the sense of social and cultural conformity that overtook the nation during this period by examining a 1955 novel by Sloan Wilson entitled The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. What does this video tell us about life during the Cold War, particularly for American men? The next video is called What is McCarthyism? And how did it happen? It takes a brief look at the McCarthy Era, a period of extreme paranoia in the U.S. when civil liberties were ignored in what amounted to a witch hunt for communism. How seriously did some Americans take the threat of communism during the Cold War? The last video is a 1957 sociological study called Crisis in Levittown, PA. This mini-documentary explores an incident of racism that occurred in Levittown, Pennsylvania, the second mega-suburb built by the Levitt brothers (see the reading for more info). Some white residents of that community rioted after a single black family moved in. What racial tensions existed in the U.S. during the Cold War?
Family Life During the Cold War 1945-1991 (10 minutes)
What is McCarthyism? And how did it happen? (6 minutes)
Crisis in Levittown, PA (32 minutes)
For the writing, answer the four questions below using evidence from the given sources.
- Explain the specific factors that contributed to American Cold War anxiety.
- Although it was a period of remarkable general prosperity, what challenges did Cold War American families face, and how did it impact them?
- In what ways did the U.S. government deny American citizens their civil liberties during the McCarthy Era?
- Based on Crisis in Levittown, what were the various perspectives on black-white relations in the United States during the 1950s?
You must take your answers from the sources, and you must indicate from which source you are taking your answers by citing them using the following system exactly:
The attached reading (READ)
Family Life During the Cold War (FAM)
What is McCarthyism? (MC)
Crisis in Levittown (CRISIS)
For example: “Some white residents of Levittown believed that racial tensions would eventually blow over (CRISIS).” You must use the system exactly, with the abbreviations in parentheses in all capital letters.

Re: The United Church and Israeli occupation, Letter June 1
The United Church and Israeli occupation, Letter June 1
Count me among the Canadian Jews who wish that Israel was not occupying the West Bank and building settlements there. The trouble is, I have no better solution to the problem of ensuring Israel’s safety against hostile neighbours who have vowed to annihilate the Jewish nation.
I similarly have no problem with the United Church taking a principled stand against something they feel is wrong. Boycotting Israeli exports is not the way to do it, in my opinion, but at least it’s non-violent.
However, I think I am reflecting the thoughts of Rabbi Dow Marmur when I ask the United Church to do two things with their moral outrage: First of all, could they spread it around a little, and start boycotting any of a dozen other “rogue” nations, like China, Tibet, and even Nigeria?
Secondly, could the United Church please identify and start supporting a political organization or group that has a policy that is a legitimate alternative to protecting Israel from murderous invaders? Anyone can be a naysayer; it takes special courage to create real-world options.
Michael E. Freeman, Toronto
It is most interesting that a Canadian-based church can see what is wrong thousands of miles away and not what needs rectifying at home. There is no doubt that there are matters needing attention in Israel, and many other countries, but would it not be more urgent to clean up our own backyard first?
For starters, just look at the struggles surrounding First Nations Education Bill, which will help our native brethren to improve their living standards.
Parallel to the above discussion, a foreign clergyman, Bishop Tutu, noted the filth of our oil sands. Had he ever visited South African gold mines or diamond exploration fields spewing “negligence and greed” he decried in Canada?
It is, obviously, easier to see a freckle on someone’s face than a mole on your own.

Postgame: Yeo says a lot of players 'helped themselves' in Winnipeg + highlights
- Blog Post by: Michael Russo
- September 20, 2013 - 12:07 AM
Coming to you from the sky over top Manitoba, where the Wild defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 in an exhibition game tonight.
Coach Mike Yeo called it the “polar opposite” of Tuesday’s loss to Columbus, a game where the Wild didn’t play well in any area. Tonight, Yeo said the Wild was strong in just about every area, and this was against a Jets team that played most its big guns. Yeo was able to roll lines all night (well, when Minnesota wasn’t killing a minor).
Josh Harding stopped 16 of 17 shots through two periods and Darcy Kuemper came in during the third. He was under fire as the Jets got three of its seven power plays in the first 8:09 of the third. But Kuemper stopped all 11 shots he saw.
Matt Dumba scored 7:45 into the game after defense partner Clayton Stoner fired a bullet on net that Al Montoya deflected wide. The Wild got it back to the net and after Nino Niederreiter crashed, a mad scramble ensure. Erik Haula came close to scoring, but finally after Mikael Granlund got a piece of the puck, Dumba found it between the circles and “shoveled” it home.
“It was kind of nerve-racking being down that low as a defenseman, but when I saw everybody collapsing, I went down there,” Dumba said. “It was cool.”
Bryan Little tied the score off a Jon Blum turnover, but even then, it was all Minnesota. The first 15 minutes of the second was all Wild, too.
Finally, Charlie Coyle and Kris Foucault scored 30 seconds apart for a 3-1 Wild lead. The Wild had a 25-11 shot lead at one point, but the Jets would unleash the next 13 shots on Harding and Kuemper. They could never get closer, and finally Steve Kampfer’s 140-foot empty-netter iced the game.
Lots of solid performances out on the ice, especially by some of the young kids going for spots.
Haula, who played wing, had one assist, five shots, was fast and just did all the “little things” in his own end. He often created quick transitions with linemates Granlund and Niederreiter.
“First NHL game, and I mean, you can tell he’s a confident kid,” Yeo said. “He’s confident, but he’s modest. He’s got a really good attitude. I just, I was very impressed with him. And I think it showed. We’re putting him in 4-on-4 situations, we’re putting him in penalty kill situations late in the game. The more you watch him, the more you get to trust him.”
The line spent much of the night in the offensive zone and was fast.
Justin Fontaine had a strong night. Just hustled all over the ice on a line with Coyle and Dany Heatley. Coyle’s goal with Heatley was a pretty one after a Jets turnover in Minnesota’s end in large part because of that hustle I talked about with Fontaine (Yeo: "what a shift"). Coyle and Heatley flew out of the zone on a 2-on-1. Coyle passed to Heatley and Heatley gave it back as Coyle put it into a completely-wide open net.
“I almost went past the net,” Coyle said.
Dumba was solid all night with Stoner, who had a great game. Dumba credited Stoner with talking to him all night, both on the ice and on the bench.
The kids were real good, and so were many of the veterans that are battling for spots and ice time. Remember, Stoner could be adversely affected if Dumba makes it.
Torrey Mitchell, who wants that third-line right wing spot but could be going up against Niederreiter or even Granlund, was flying (four shots) and solid all night with Kyle Brodziak. Brodziak had a tough night in the faceoff circle but was good everywhere else. Looked like the Brodziak of old – skated well, quick transitions, reliable defensively, all over the puck.
Zenon Konopka, who has the highest faceoff winning percentage since he’s been in the league among active NHLers, won 15 of 20 faceoffs.
“Young kids, you know that they’re coming in and they’re really playing for something,” Yeo said. “What I liked is the way our older guys came in and were playing for something too. They showed they want to be ready for the season.”
There are a handful of spots and there won’t be easy decisions for the brass, especially when you see how well all the roster hopefuls played tonight.
“Everyone competing with each other, it’s going to push each other and in the end make the best team,” Coyle said. “It’s awesome to see guys fighting for spots going head to head.”
This morning, Yeo said the Wild won’t rush to conclusions.
“It’s continuing the process and the evaluation of it,” Yeo said after the victory. “This is what we said after last game, we played a poor game, and we weren’t going to rush to decisions and now we played a very good game tonight, but we’re not going to rush the decisions on that, too. But I will say, a lot of guys helped themselves tonight.”
The game didn’t count, but in the first game with both teams in the same division, the rivalry seemed to continue from two years ago and has all the makings for a good one. Lots of skirmishes, the pace was good.
Early in the third, 6-foot-5 defenseman Kyle Medvec got Mark Scheifele with a high hit on a Winnipeg entry. I never saw a replay. Some were saying elbow, some were saying forearm. Yeo felt it was a clean hit.
The Jets’ Anthony Peluso jumped right in there and later Evander Kane (minus-3, seven shots, 10 hits tonight) tried to goad Medvec into dropping his gloves. Besides being a great player and one of the league’s fastest, he’s also strong as an ox. Medvec skated away.
“We hopefully get under a lot of people’s skin,” Yeo said. “If we’re playing the right way, then we should be pretty frustrating to play against, and I felt we did a good job frustrating them in a lot of areas tonight.”
Yeo was very happy with the PK (7-for-7) and Harding and Kuemper.
Harding said, “I’m more happy with how the team played, how they responded to the challenge. This isn’t an easy situation, you fly day of the game, they dressed a good team and they’re at home, and I thought that everybody top to bottom did great. The veterans did an unbelievable job leading this club and the younger guys, they proved their worth. Strong showing by everybody.”
On his game, Harding said, “It was great to get back in there. I want to get cleaner on a couple things.”
The Wild practices at 11 and 12:30 Friday. Rachel Blount is writing a Keith Ballard story for Saturday’s paper and will probably blog as I work ahead and sit down with a player. I’ll be with you Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tuesday and Thursday next week, same thing. Rachel will probably write the daily stories I have lunch with a couple players.
The Wild plans its first big round of cuts (won’t be the roster hopefuls) Sunday as Iowa’s camp opens Monday. The top line of Zach Parise, Mikko Koivu and Jason Pominville and defensemen Ryan Suter, Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon are expected to all play their first exhibition games Saturday at home against Winnipeg.

The types of housing in Singapore comprise of the HDB flat, private and executive condo and the landed properties. A large percentage of locals live in HDB flats while others and expats opt to own or rent a condominium. Meanwhile, only a few locals live in landed properties such as detached or semi-detached houses.
If you are a local or a foreigner looking for a residence in Singapore, you may opt for an HDB flat or condominium. To give you an idea about these types of housing, we have listed their differences that we think you should know to catch a safer opinion of them before you own or rent one:
1. Form of ownership
An HDB flat is public housing in Singapore that is managed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB). It is a government subsidized housing that is under temporary leasehold for 99 years only. Meanwhile, the condominiums are owned and developed by private property companies.
To buy and HDB flat, you must be a citizen of Singapore or have a permanent resident that belongs to a fixed income bracket. The foreigners can rent an HDB flat, but they cannot purchase one unless they are permanent residents. On the other hand, locals and even foreigners can own or rent a condominium provided they can afford the condominium costs.
The HDB flats have amenities such as a playground for kids, a small garden, and a park with benches. They also have small mini marts or what they called “mama shops” that offer goods at low prices.
If you are looking for more facilities that you could enjoy, you may opt for a condominium. Most of these condominiums have swimming pools, spas, BBQ facilities, gyms, security guards, tennis courts, garden, and outdoor areas. This is the reason why condominiums are costlier than the HDB.
3. The rates or costs
Most condominiums in Singapore have premium purchasing or rental price. So, if you are on a budget, you may opt for an HDB flat that has lower rental rates. However, there are also some HDB flats that are quite expensive because they are situated in prime locations. Hence, you have to consider the location when you buy or rent an HDB flat.
In one case, a five-room HDB flat rents for below $2,500 to $3,000. It depends on the location or if it is located in the Central Business District. Meanwhile, a condo unit can be rented for around $6,000 each month.
4. Accessibility to public transportation
HDB flats have an advantage over condo when it comes to accessibility to public transport. Most HDB flats are near the bus stops and train stations. On the other hand, condo are quite at a distance from public transport. This is because the developer takes into account that most condo owners can have their own cars. Besides, condos are often located in less busy areas for exclusivity.
5. Social interaction
The HDB flats are designed for community living, Also, they have social areas in which neighbours in the proximity could gather and have small talk and bonding. Their common areas can also be used for special occasions like birthdays, weddings, and religious festivities, among others.
Meanwhile, the condos are more exclusive and they can choose if they want to mingle with the other condo owners. However, with their amenities such as gyms, pools, and BBQ facilities they can have opportunities for social interactions.
The condominiums are more pet-friendlier than the HDB flats. You have to follow the rules regarding pet ownership in HDB flats. And there is a list of breeds that are required. No large breeds are allowed in the flats. Likewise, no cats are permitted in this flat for a few reasons. The conditions are less strict on pet ownership in condominiums. You will just ask the landlord or management committee to know some of their rules including to what extent can you bring your pets.
If you are concerned about your security, you may rather opt for private condominiums than the HDB flats. The condominiums have security guards that manned the proximity of your unit. Most of them are on duty for 24 hours with day and night shifting.
Choosing between an HDB flat or a condominium depends on your lifestyle. If you want a homey environment at an affordable price, then HDB flat is an ideal choice. Meanwhile, if you want more privacy and with lots of facilities, you will indeed enjoy the condo living.

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick are back in LA after their weekend getaway to Mexico, but here's a look at the beautiful scenery they enjoyed while in Puerto Vallarta! The duo headed south of the border in order to celebrate Brit's 29th birthday, and the trip also served as a break from their dealing with some nasty rumors. Now Brit and Jason are home and refreshed from their travels, and she's focusing on getting everything ready for the holidays. She picked up a tree at Walmart, then proceeded to work her way down her shopping list with a trip to the Westfield Mall and a few other boutiques. She and Jason spent Thanksgiving in Louisiana with the extended Spears clan, but it seems like they're prepping to unwrap presents this year in California.

Shawn Mendes recently teased “Album 3” on the way, but before his official studio follow-up to Illuminate, he has a special surprise for fans. The singer has announced an MTV Unplugged live album, captured during his intimate September 8 performance at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.
The 11-track opus will include hits like “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” “Stitches,” and “Mercy,” as well as a cover of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody” that Mendes cleverly mashed with “Treat You Better.”
Mendes’s Unplugged episode kicked off the MTV rebooted series, and represented a huge moment in the 19-year-old's career. He told MTV News on the day of his performance, “There’s a lot of moments, I think, in a career that shape you as an artist. ... I think about bands like Pearl Jam and how much their Unplugged affected them as a band. People literally, if you ask them about it today, still think about that, and it puts a lot of pressure on tonight, in a good way. I think I’m ready, and I hope to make tonight a very career-sculpting thing.”
Mendes’s MTV Unplugged arrives on November 3 and bookends another banner year for him. He scored his second No. 1 album this year with Illuminate, embarked on a sold-out arena tour, and even performed on the VMA main stage.
The MTV Unplugged live album is available for pre-order here. See the full tracklist below.
1. "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back"
4. "Three Empty Words"
6. "Bad Reputation"
7. "Don't Be A Fool"
10. "Never Be Alone"
11. "Use Somebody / Treat You Better"

A PREFERRED bidder to operate the controversial publicly-owned funicular railway in the Cairngorms has been selected.
After a year-long exercise, the board of Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), the development agency which owns both the mountain railway and its present operator CairnGorm Mountain Ltd (CML), has awarded preferred bidder status to tourism business Natural Retreats UK Ltd.
HIE Chief Executive Alex Paterson said: “This is a significant step forward in our procurement process, but it is not the end.”
The funicular has been much criticised over the years.
In 2009, the public spending watchdog Audit Scotland estimated that it cost £19.54 million to construct the railway in the Highlands - almost £5 million pounds more than the budget of £14.6 million.
And when other support to operators Cairngorm Mountain Limited (CML) is included, the total cost for building and operating the railway comes to £26.75 million.
More than £23 million came from the public sector, with Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) investing £19.4 million in the railway and its operator.
The funicular railway was part of a strategy to help regenerate the area, and it opened for business in December 2001.
But operators CML struggled financially, and in 2008 HIE took them into public ownership.
Mr Paterson said: “Over the coming weeks, HIE will hold further discussions with Natural Retreats on a number of points of detail, before deciding whether or not to proceed to awarding a contract.
“This is a normal procedure in complex procurements which follow the ‘competitive dialogue’ methodology.
“Whatever the outcome of the upcoming discussions with our preferred bidder, the railway and visitor facilities, and, indeed, the wider Cairngorm estate, will remain in public ownership through HIE.”
The Cairngorm attraction is Scotland’s only funicular railway, and contributes significantly to the tourism sector in Aviemore and the surrounding area.
Built by HIE and opened in 2000, it is well used by skiers and snowboarders through the winter, and attracts a broad range of other visitors throughout the year.
Dave Thompson SNP MSP For Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch which includes Cairngorm mountain, said: “I welcome the fact that progress has been made, and that HIE have now established a preferred bidder for the Cairngorm operation.
“I look forward to the next steps in the process developing in a similar positive way.”
HIE’s spending on the funicular railway was criticised three years ago by the Scottish Parliament’s audit committee.
In its report, the committee said threats such as warmer winters’ effect on skiing were not taken in account.
The committee said: “The enterprise body’s failure to take account of the risks was a key factor which led to spiralling construction and running costs.”
HIE, which took over the funicular and CairnGorm Mountain ski resort in 2008, has provided £19.42 million towards the £26 million cost of building and running the railway.

The New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection actively represents the interests of customers of regulated landline telephone service before the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC). The Division's efforts help ensure that the price of personal telephone service is reasonable, relevant consumer protections are followed and providers maintain quality service.
With increased competition in the telecommunications industry, consumers now have alternatives to traditional landline telephone service. The Division offers information regarding these new services for consumers. We also advocate on behalf of consumers regarding State regulation of cable television service and encourage providers of wireless telephone service to offer reliable, high quality and cost effective service.
Formal filings by the Division regarding telecommunication services can be accessed from the links below.
Testimony on Rules and Regulations Concerning Cable Television Service
In testimony delivered July 24, 2003, the New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection demonstrates that certain proposed changes to rules and regulations governing cable television service would not serve consumer interests and should be rejected by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC). In particular, the Division explains why: (1) the current requirement under which cable operators must automatically credit customers for service outages of more than four hours, some part of which occurred in prime time, should be maintained; (2) current requirements governing channel capacity for public, educational and governmental access channels should be maintained; and (3) existing service quality reporting rules should continue.
Statement in Support of Proposal Regarding Service Quality
In this statement dated August 6, 2008, the New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection explains that it supports a Joint Proposal that it helped negotiate. It provides a new incentive for Frontier Telephone of Rochester and its affiliates in New York State including those operating under the Citizens Communications name, to offer high quality telephone service on its more than 670,000 access lines in New York, thereby enhancing public health, safety and welfare. The Agreement also streamlines and eliminates regulations that are no longer necessary or appropriate.
Comments Regarding Open Market Plan
Frontier of Rochester requested permission to terminate remaining provisions of their regulatory plan applicable to the Company since 1995. In comments dated July 11, 2005, the New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection explains that the Company’s request is premature, would provide no apparent benefit to consumers and would eliminate an incentive for Frontier to provide high quality telephone service to all its customers.
Comments on Verizon Plan To Improve Service Quality
Verizon has repeatedly been unable to meet service standards for the timeliness of repairs in many communities in and around New York City. The New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection informed the New York State Public Service Commission of this chronic poor performance in November 2006. Shortly thereafter, the PSC directed the Company to submit a plan to improve its repair performance. On April 16, 2007, the Division submitted these written comments identifying our concerns with Verizon's plan. We provide several recommendations to help ensure that Verizon meets applicable service quality standards in a timely fashion and is held accountable for any failure to do so.
Telephone Service Quality Initial Comments
In comments submitted August 25, 2006, the New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection addresses recommendations by Staff of the Department of Public Service to revise service quality and consumer protection regulations applicable to telephone service providers. We explain that several of those recommendations should not be adopted because emerging competition does not obviate the need for regulation, particularly where public health, safety and welfare may be affected.
Testimony on Consumer Issues Regarding Wireless Telephone Service
On March 13, 2006, the New York State Department of State Division of Consumer Protection delivered testimony to the New York State Assembly's Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection as well as its Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions. The Division identifies some of the consumer benefits from wireless telephone service, as well as some of the continuing consumer concerns. This testimony provides an overview of the consumer complaints received by the Division and other entities, and highlights the key areas in which additional consumer protections are required.

Complementing others and providing positive feedback is a favorite daily task of mine. It is not altruistic, I feel good when I see an individual see the good in themselves, whether it large or small.
I was reminded of this good feeling recently when I complemented a quiet girl in the classroom I worked in last week. This girl was an average looking 8th grader, modestly dressed in her school uniform, no makeup, no fancy jewelry or trendy hairstyle. While the majority of the class took extra time to socialize, rather than open their novels, this girl sat quietly reading before even asked to begin.
As I walked through the aisles of traditionally arranged classroom desks, taking attendance, her smile and raised head caught my eye. "Good afternoon, you have stunning eyes, your eyelashes are so naturally long and beautiful!" I could have complimented her on her appropriate classroom behavior and courteous demeanor but it was her eyelashes that caught my eye. I did appreciate how well behaved she was, especially in the presence of a guest teacher, but I like my complements to be natural and not forced. This was my first thought when she looked up at me and so I shared it with her.
The school day continued and so did my positive feedback to students, I left names and specific examples of good, not bad behavior for the classroom teacher. I complemented the whole class on taking on Ayn Rand's novel Anthem, a challenging but thought provoking author. I thanked the students for welcoming me into their classroom, as it was their's not mine and I was grateful to be their guest teacher for the day.
As educators and parents it is not always easy to focus on the positive. A hard day at work, a child exhibiting challenging behaviors, the frustration when a child asks you how or why after the 5th time you have explained yourself. We are all human, it is not always easy but it is necessary to provide positive feedback and encourage students to focus on the positive. Help students to use their strengths to offset their challenges.
Minutes before the final bell rang I again thanked all the students. As they filtered out of the classroom I offered my hand to shake the hands of students who were extra gracious. I wrote a quick summary of the day to the classroom teacher, including what was covered, which students worked diligently, and specifically who were respectful. I am hopeful these students will keep my positive feedback with them and remember it next time they have a guest teacher. I believe they will hold this with them far longer than they would if I had written their names on the board for being tardy or raised my voice for them to listen when reading Anthem together.

Due to a shocking lack of bread in our house this evening (seriously, we were down to one heel until Briton decided to make himself toast, and then there was none...) I decided to bake our favorite soda bread for dinner tonight. The recipe for this most Irish of breads is based on one out of the Avoca Cafe Cookbook, one of my favorite of all time cookbooks. And since tonight's dinner would be a strange mix of Italian and UK/Irish food with the main course being Nigella's Rapid Ragu I decided to italianize my bread with some fresh rosemary.
Usually Briton helps makes soda bread but tonight he and Evelyn were busy building a mammoth snaking train track across the kitchen (and under my feet, despite the fact that their playroom is in the breakfast nook attached to the kitchen!!) So I was on my own.
Beside the bread and the ragu, I also started a pot of caramelized onions, the secret ingredient in Nigella's recipe for which I had just used up the last of my previous batch.
The onions are so simple and so good it's hard to believe I've only been making them for a few weeks. Once I'd tried them in a few recipes I was hooked. Chop and onion or two, toss them in your brand new for Christmas Le Creuset Pot (or another heavy pot if your husband didn't finally cave to years of begging for a ridiculously expensive but oh so lovely cooking vessel) and cook them on low until they are soft and brown and sweet. I keep mine in a jar in the fridge, have no idea how long they last since I keep using them up almost immediately.
Avoca-ish Soda Bread
450 g flour
1 level tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
14 fl oz milk with 1 T vinegar (experiment with this, garlic or tarragon vinegars can be very nice, I usually just use white wine vinegar)
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
Preheat the oven to 450 and grease a loaf pan. Mix all dry ingredients while the vinegar curdles the milk (this replicates buttermilk, if you have buttermilk, use that) then slowly add the milk and mix till combined. Pour into the loaf pan and bake 30 minutes.

Do you want to protect a kingdom and thereby put your tactics to the test? Then you are exactly right in Kingdom Rush. The aim here is to protect the entire country from the monsters. Different towers are put in our hands as different means to do so, which you can build up at certain strategy points. You can build four different towers. The turrets come at a different cost and the towers have different weapons. For example, a rain of arrows, soldiers, a magical fire as well as a bomb. They shoot in differently speedy ways and each towers has its advantages as well as disadvantages. In addition, you have bonus promotions, with which you can use other soldiers or the rain of fire. Will you use your existing resources in a way that you can master the waves of enemies well, or will the monsters storm the city and you lose that level? Do not let yourself be discouraged in Kingdom Rush either. Simply start the level again and place your towers in other ways. You will quickly have it figured out, how to best place your towers. Through the killing of enemies, you will receive gold that you can use for the construction of new towers or for their improvement. If you start the next wave faster than normal, the bonus charges faster or you can get more gold. After each level, you also have the option of using your earned stars for the appreciation of the towers or the soldiers. You can thus determine your strategy and will soon rise up level after level. Will you be able to protect the entire kingdom? Jump into the challenge with Kingdom Rush and show off your skills. Are you stronger than the monsters?

Welcome to the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation
A national charity supporting former miners and their families with help and advice to alleviate disadvantage arising from disability, ill health or financial hardship.
Impact January To March 2016
Through regionally based staff teams the quality of life of many mining beneficiaries has been enhanced. In the first quarter of 2016 we have carried out over 2500 home visits.
This level of visits suggests that this year will be the busiest in our history as a charity.
In this quarter we have increased the income of our beneficiaries by over £1,100,000, primarily through maximizing the benefit income to which they are entitled.
As part of our national campaign to contact former miners and their widows we have now sent out in excess of 61,000 letters to those receiving a mineworker's pension.
A modest impact has been achieved through the support and advice which the Organisation provides to the trustees of a number of recreational charities established on mining trusts which enables extensive recreational participation in former mining communities.
We have offices across the country to help and support people nationwide
We offer a range of support services including home visits, benefits checks, grants and advise
There a range of convalescence breaks for you to choose from provided by various charities

Fifty years ago, this year from 21-31 July 1969 in the capital of Algeria, thousands of people gathered for a ground-breaking Pan-African Cultural Festival (PACF).
Official delegations were sent to the manifestation from over 30 independent and contested nations on the African continent. A strong contingent of artists, intellectuals, journalists and political activists from the United States were also in attendance.
This ten-day extravaganza had been in the making for two years after it was mandated by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1967. The location of Algeria was significant in light of the protracted armed struggle waged against French colonialism by the people of this North African state beginning in 1954 and extending to 1961.
Algeria gained its independence in 1962 under the vanguard armed organisation turned political party, the National Liberation Front (FLN), whose charismatic leader President Ben Bella exemplified the emerging youthful and foresighted figures shaping the progressive currents within the post-World War II period. The formation of the Conference of Independent African States and the All-African People’s Conference in April and December of 1958 respectively in Ghana under the presidency of Kwame Nkrumah, had laid the framework for the OAU, established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 25 May 1963.
However, the African independence movements which gained strength after 1945 were not of the same political orientation. Ideological and philosophical divergence would surface based largely upon the class character of the individuals and organisations involved in the struggle.
In many respects the PACF of 1969 was designed to emphasise the anti-colonial, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist character of the independence and post-independence movements and parties. The invitations extended to the African American delegates were based upon the notions of revolutionary Pan-Africanism and Proletarian Internationalism.
Just three years prior to the PACF, there had been a First Festival of the Negro in the Arts held in Dakar, Senegal convened in April 1966. The then President Leopold Senghor was an artist as well as a politician. He embodied the cultural philosophy of Negritude, which had been synchronised by Martinique-born Aimé Césaire through his poetry and discourse.
Frantz Fanon, also of Martinique, a French colonial territory in the Caribbean, had been influenced by Césaire in his early years. Fanon, who was trained in psychiatric medicine in Lyon, France after fleeing the Vichy fascist regime on the island and later being enlisted in the Free French Forces, broke with the Negritude approach while working in Algeria during the revolutionary war of liberation. Fanon would join the FLN and served the movement as a journalist and diplomat.
The Dakar festival of 1966 came in the immediate aftermath of the United States engineered military and police coup against the Convention People’s Party government of Nkrumah in Ghana. If not widely known and appreciated at the time, the Festival was encouraged by the US and the imperialist nations, particularly France, which had formerly colonised Senegal.
Subsequent revelations from the period documented the role of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the US State Department in selecting and shaping the character of the African American delegation, which attended the Dakar gathering in April 1966. As far as the West was concerned, African culture should be celebrated if it is done within the social and political context of imperialist domination under the existing world capitalist divisions of labour and economic power. Senghor and the Negritude ideologues were committed to an independence policy that closely allied itself with imperialism. In essence it was anti-communist and rejected an ideological approach based upon historical and dialectical materialism.
The African American intellectual and cultural imagination had been heavily intertwined with yearnings for a return to the homeland on the continent. The early institutions formed by Africans in North America during slavery were reflective of this phenomenon. A cursory examination of this history points to the African Baptist Church, African Methodist Episcopal Church, Free African Society, etc. Emigration back to Africa and other geo-political regions of the globe was a recurrent pattern in the intellectual and political culture of the formerly enslaved people of the Americas, North and South.
Consequently, the role of writers, artists and other involved in intellectual work was of concern to the colonial and neo-colonial powers based in the West. The ideological struggle within the cultural spheres was a hallmark of the two Congresses of Negro Writers held in Paris in 1956 and Rome during 1959. African and African American public intellectuals such as Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, Leopold Senghor, Aimé Césaire, Horace Mann Bond, J. Price-Mars, George Lamming, Cheikh Anta Diop and others participated in these conferences to debate the place of culture in the liberation process. [[i]]
A striking limitation of the First Congress in Paris in 1956 was the absence of women making any significant intellectual contribution. African American artist Josephine Baker who lived in Paris was recognised as a patron of the gathering. There are existing photographs of women in attendance in France.
This omission of women’s involvement in the discourse was recognised and commented on by African American novelist and essayist Richard Wright. Christiane Diop, the wife of Presence Africaine journal founder and Congress architect Alioune Diop, was a key organiser of the events, however, she remains obscured in regard to intellectual contributions to the conference. Wright, the then Paris-based author, stressed during the Congress: “I don’t know how many of you have noticed it – there have been no women functioning vitally and responsibly upon this platform helping to mould and mobilise our thoughts. This is not a criticism of the conference, it is not a criticism of anyone, it is a criticism that I heap upon ourselves collectively… In our struggle for freedom, against great odds, we cannot afford to ignore one half of our manpower, that is, the force of women and their active collaboration. Black men will not be free until their women are free. [[ii]]”
An outcome of the two Congresses of Negro Writers in Paris and Rome was the founding of the Society of African Culture. The US component, known as the American Society of African Culture, would later become embroiled in controversy due to reports of funding and manipulation by the CIA and the State Department. [[iii]]
Black Power, Black Panthers and the Casbah
At the opening parade of the PACF on 21 July, there was an impressive display of cultural expressions from throughout the continent. Delegations from the Republic of Guinea, Republic of Congo, Mozambique Liberation Front, Zimbabwe African People’s Union, the African National Congress of South Africa, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, the Southwest Africa People’s Organisation and many others marched through the main thoroughfares of Algiers.
Although Fanon had passed away from Leukaemia at the age of 36 in 1961 at a hospital in the US, his writings had gained monumental influence during the mid-to-late years of the decade. African American radicals and revolutionaries viewed his book The Wretched of the Earth as the subtitle suggested, A Guide to the Black Revolution Sweeping the World Today.
The Black Panther Party (BPP) by July 1969 was under severe attack at the aegis of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the Justice Department. Hundreds of its cadres were indicted and imprisoned on largely trumped up criminal charges. Other members were assassinated or driven into exile including Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver.
Cleaver was a well-known best-selling author by 1968. His book Soul on Ice had generated enormous attention by the literary community and the general public. The articles and essays, which made up the book had been written and some were published while he was an inmate at Folsom Prison in California.
After observing the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, its previous name, led by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, confront police officers on the streets of Oakland he committed himself to the organisation. He played a leading role in the Black Panther newspaper while at the same time serving as a contributing writer for Ramparts, a left-wing magazine which opposed the US war in Vietnam and supported the Black Power movement.
As a result of the police shooting, which resulted in the death of 17-year-old Bobby Hutton in Oakland on 6 April 1968, Cleaver was jailed for several months. After being released, he was charged with violating his conditions of parole and threatened with being imprisoned again. All the while in the same year, he was nominated to run for president on the newly-formed Peace and Freedom Party ticket. After the 1968 elections, rather than be incarcerated, Cleaver fled the US to Canada and then Cuba. He remained in Cuba for several months and was later invited to Algeria to open up an International Section for the BPP in the capital of Algiers.
According to the recollections of his then wife, Kathleen Neal Cleaver, formerly of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), who said: “I had met Eldridge Cleaver, the information minister of the Black Panther Party, at a student conference on black liberation held in Nashville over the Easter weekend of 1967. We fell in love and by Christmas we were married. In late November 1968, Eldridge fled imprisonment in the wake of a gun battle between Black Panthers and Oakland police, and by the time I set out to join him I was seven months pregnant. Determined to be with my husband when our first child was born, I headed off for Havana, but discovered en route that the place we would meet was Algiers instead. Half a year after his clandestine departure from the United States, Eldridge Cleaver, celebrated author of Soul on Ice and fugitive revolutionary, was enthusiastically welcomed to Algiers on the eve of the Pan-African Cultural Festival. [[iv]]”
The Panthers through their propaganda declared that they were the vanguard of the Black Revolution in the US. Other organisations and entities had also recognised them as such. Their widespread coverage in the national news media began in May 1967 when they marched on the California State Capitol building in Sacramento with arms to protest the debate surrounding the Mulford Act, which would ban the public brandishing of weapons. The bill was targeted against the Panthers and the African American community in general. Later in October of the same year, Newton would be wounded, arrested and charged with the gunning down of two white police officers, one fatally, in Oakland. An international campaign demanding his release gained currency across the US, Europe, Africa and Asia.
Growing media attention, the rapid growth of the organisation nationally during 1968 and the frequent clashes with law-enforcement agencies in various cities, contributed to the notion of the Panthers opening up an armed struggle against the state. The organization emerged during the advent and growth of urban rebellions led predominately by African Americans during the period of 1964-68.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Algerian government would invite the BPP to open up an office in this North African nation. During the PACF of 1969, an “Afro-American Centre” was set up on a major thoroughfare in Algiers where posters of Newton, Cleaver and other Panthers were on prominent display along with the art work of Minister of Culture Emory Douglas.
Kathleen Cleaver in the previously cited article went on to note that: “On 17 July, every seat inside la Mutualité, the auditorium where his press conference took place, was filled. Students, revolutionaries, Arabs, Europeans, Africans, and Black Americans all applauded Eldridge’s arrival, acknowledging his presence in Algiers as a symbolic triumph over America’s racist power. I felt electricity surge through the crowd when I walked onto the stage with Eldridge and his interpreter who translated his words into French. The charisma and authority in his voice, added to his imposing physical presence, brought an unexpected element into the excitement generated by the upcoming festival. Being in Africa, for him and the entire movement he represented, held deep significance for our fight for black liberation within America.”
Nonetheless, there were sharp ideological and political divisions that had surfaced in the BPP during 1968-69. Stokely Carmichael (later known as Kwame Ture) had initiated the Black Panther independent politics concept during his field operations in Alabama in 1965-66. The Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO) was formed during this period as an independent political structure outside the framework of both the Democratic and Republican parties. The Black Panther was utilised as the symbol of the LCFO.
The successes of the organising work in Lowndes County and other areas of Alabama set the stage for a state-wide BPP as early as the beginning months of 1966. This approach to organising attracted the attention of other activists across the US resulting in the formation of several Black Panther organisations in various cities such as New York, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. Obviously, these efforts influenced Newton and Seale along with others in California to set up separate branches of the BPP in Southern and North California. By 1968, the Newton and Cleaver grouping had declared dominance and became known as the “official BPP” on a national level. Carmichael, the former Chair of SNCC, H. Rap Brown (now known as Jamil Al-Amin), James Forman and others were drafted as leading officials in the Oakland-based BPP during 1967-1968. Carmichael was appointed as Honorary Prime Minister, Brown as Minister of Justice and Forman given the title of Foreign Minister, since he had served as the first International Affairs Director for SNCC after May 1966.
However, disagreements and misunderstandings arose in 1968-69 leading to the former SNCC leaders departing from the BPP based in Oakland. Carmichael sought to publicly distance himself from the Panthers and issued a letter of resignation, which was published on 4 July 1969. For the previous six months, it was announced by his then wife Miriam Makeba, a world-famous singer and concert performer from the-then apartheid South Africa, noting Carmichael and she had relocated to the Republic of Guinea.
In evaluating these schisms in the Black Panther movement, it is imperative to take strong consideration of the FBI’s counter-intelligence programme (COINTELPRO), which devoted enormous resources aimed at destroying the BPP along with other radical, revolutionary and even more liberal and moderate organisations. The BPP was infiltrated by informants from the federal government, local law-enforcement agencies and even military intelligence.
The aim of the COINTELPRO operations directed against the BPP were to frame leaders for criminal offenses; to provoke violence between local police agencies and the Panthers; sew divisions among the organisation and other groups to the point of violence; and to destroy the credibility of the Panthers and other revolutionary groups among African American youth, community members and within the organisation itself prompting disaffection and demoralisation.[[v]]
Carmichael and Makeba were in Algiers for the PACF. Makeba’s stunning performance in a concert at the Festival was well received by the audience. Carmichael met with Eldridge Cleaver during the period in which he and Makeba were in Algiers. Later Cleaver would issue his own public letter to Carmichael suggesting that his resignation came a year too late and that he was not up to the job of serving in the leadership of the BPP.
Other African American cultural, journalistic and political forces were in Algiers for the PACF. A concert was delivered by saxophonist and Jazz composer Archie Shepp where musicians such as pianist Dave Burrell, trombonist Grachan Moncur III, Alan Silva on bass, Sunny Murray on drums, Clifford Thornton on cornet and poet Don L. Lee (later known as Haki R. Madhubuti) contributed on stage along with Tuareg percussionists and vocalists.
A report on the Archie Shepp concert based upon a documentary film on the PACF directed by William Klein, recounted the words spoken by an African American poet at the opening of the performance which emphasised: “We are still Black, and we have come back. Nous sommes revenus [‘We have returned’]. We have come back and brought back to our land, Africa, the music of Africa. Jazz is a Black Power! Jazz is a Black Power! Jazz is an African Power! Jazz is an African music! Jazz is an African music! We have come back!” proclaimed African American poet Ted Joans as he stood before an audience in the overcrowded streets of Algiers, Algeria, at the First Pan-African Cultural Festival in July 1969. He continued the poem, emphasising his French phrases to ensure the largely Francophone African crowd would understand him: ‘Nous sommes revenus. Nous sommes les Noirs Americains, les Afro-Americains, les Africains des Etats-Unis. Mais, la première chose, nous sommes Africains.’ [‘We have returned. We are Black Americans, Afro-Americans, Africans of the United States. But foremost, we are Africans.’]
Next to Ted Joans was an animated and commanding Archie Shepp, pacing across the stage playing his saxophone. Riding over and through Shepp’s melodies were the rhythms of the Algerian Tuareg musicians who stood nearby, beating at their drums. The audience responded with uproarious applause and spurred on what was to become a classic jazz recording, Archie Shepp’s Live at the Pan-African Festival. Shortly after the performance, Shepp was interviewed about the experience by the Algerian national newspaper, El Moudjahid. He described the moment’s meaning in personal and political terms: “In my opinion, jazz is the music of all the long-lost Africans in America. [[vi]]”
Social Scientist and journalist Nathan Hare attended the PACF and wrote an extensive article published in the first issue of Black Scholar released in November 1969. Hare had been hired as the first Chair of a Black Studies Department established at San Francisco State College (SFSC) in 1968. A protracted struggle over the independence of the department and other issues impacting African Americans, Chicanos, Asians and radical whites resulted in the longest student strike in US history.
After the resignation of two presidents at SFSC and the appointment of Japanese American academic S.I. Hayakawa, Hare was terminated from his position as Chair of Black Studies in early 1969. Later the same year after attending the PACF, he along with Robert Chrisman and Allen Ross, started the Black Scholar journal.
Musicians Nina Simone of the US and Oscar Peterson of Canada attended and performed at the PACF. Julia Wright, the daughter of legendary novelist Richard Wright then living in Paris, aligned with the BPP as the director of the Afro-American Centre in Algiers.
Algeria, Africa and Pan-Africanism today: 2019
Looking back on the First Pan-African Cultural Festival of July 1969 raises questions related to the status of national liberation, anti-capitalism and revolutionary transformation at the conclusion of the second decade of the 21st century. Since 1969 many of the liberation movements, which participated in the PACF have won their independence.
There have been the socialist-oriented policies enacted over a period of years from the 1960s to the 1980s in Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Congo, Tanzania, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Benin, Guinea, Somalia, Egypt, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Algeria, Ghana, Mali, etc. These policies ranged from the nationalisation of industries, expulsion of US and other imperialist military bases, formations of self-help collectives, state-owned farms, the creation of import substitution firms aimed at reducing demand for foreign products, founding mass organisations concerned with the plight of women, youth, workers, intellectuals and artists.
The continuing domination by international finance capital of global markets involving the extraction and pricing of commodities, ownership of the means of production, the deliberate destruction of ecosystems impacting water supplies, agriculture, livestock and technological innovation, hampers the capacity of African states to achieve sustainable development. A crisis in European socialism beginning in the late 1980s and resulting in the collapse of the COMECON sector, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a civil war fuelled by imperialist interventions in the former Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia and its dissolution, has had negative consequences for African Union (AU) member states from the perspective of having narrower access to alternative terms of trade different from those of the West and the political support provided to progressive governments on the continent.
Nonetheless, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) over the last 40 years emerged as the second largest economy in the world. This has been done under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, which took power in this Asian state 70 years ago.
At present, Beijing has greatly expanded its political and economic relations with Africa. The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation has been in existence for two decades holding periodic conferences where agreements are discussed and ratified.
State-run Chinese publications run articles on a regular basis dealing with African affairs in addition to various aspects of relations between the PRC and AU member states. China on principle refrains from intervention in the internal affairs of African governments. All military and intelligence operations are conducted in partnership with the respective administrations.
In contrast, the US has intensified its military and intelligence programmes in Africa. The US Africa Command (AFRICOM) was formerly launched in 2008 under President George W. Bush, Jr. This separate structure focusing exclusively on the continent, its islands and waterways, was strengthened and enhanced under the Democratic administration of former President Barack Obama. Since the assumption of office by President Donald Trump there has been almost no change in Washington’s approach to Africa. AFRICOM remains on the continent building air strips, training national military forces in purported counter-terrorism preparedness, establishing drone stations for the purpose of surveillance and offensive strikes on targeted organisations, the monitoring of waterways under the guise of preventing piracy in order to allow the ostensible free flow of goods through strategic shipping lanes.
Algeria in 2019 has been characterised by large-scale demonstrations by students and professionals demanding reforms related to the electoral process and allegation of financial corruption. Former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ailing and ageing, was forced from office due to political pressure from demonstrators.
There appears to be a predominant emphasis on ending corruption and FLN control of the state by the demonstrators without any definitive alternatives being proposed. Of course, North Africa and other regions have witnessed the mass demonstrations in Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria in 2010-11. However, these protests and general strikes have not changed the fundamental class relationships domestically and internationally within countries where they have occurred and beyond.
If the workers, farmers, youth, revolutionary intellectuals and artists are to learn anything from the so-called “Arab Spring” events of 2010-11, it is that there is a distinct demarcation related to rebellion and revolution. The term revolution is utilised in many cases to signify civil disorder, mass protests and the occupation of space critical to the maintenance of the status-quo. Understanding this profound distinction, one could hardly argue that transformative revolutionary processes have taken place in Egypt and Tunisia.
If there is any confusion related to Cairo and Tunis, it would have to be crystal clear based upon an objective assessment of developments emanating from the rebel attacks, CIA interventions, Pentagon and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation bombings and the imposition of western-backed pliant regimes in neighbouring Libya. The actual counter-revolution against the Jamahiriya in Libya exemplified by the blanket bombing of the country for seven months from March to October 2011; the assassination of long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi; several failed attempts to concoct United Nations mandated regimes; and the funding of militias allied with the CIA, makes an irrefutable case that imperialism is only capable of causing instability, massive carnage, population displacement and the fostering of further rightward political culture in the leading centres of the capitalist world.
African unity remains on the agenda of the AU through its regular summits and permanent commission in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. There is the 2063 Agenda, which in theory is aimed at the complete integration of economies, cooperation on various political fronts along with the creation of an effective African Standby Force. During 2018-19, there was the launching of an African Continental Free Trade Area, which furthers the AU agenda by committing in principle to eliminate tariffs and other barriers to economic exchange among African states.
Despite these laudable efforts, as this author wrote in another article earlier this year (2019): “Nevertheless, the presence of western military forces within AU member states represents the antithesis of the progressive and revolutionary currents of Pan-Africanism emanating from the First All-African Peoples Conference of December 1958 in Ghana right through to the armed resistance phase to colonialism, the founding of the Organisation of African Unity, the predecessor to the AU, and the burgeoning class struggle against a comprador elite propped up by international finance capital. Under the present circumstances, the imperialists are firmly positioned to stifle any economic development planning, which views the dominance of the world capitalist system as the major obstruction to Africa making a decisive turn in the direction of its rightful trajectory towards continental unification based upon the interests of the majority of its people. [[vii]]”
As it relates to the plight of Africans in the US, there has been the expansion of representation within municipal, state and governmental legislative structures over the last 50 years directly stemming from the gains of the Civil Rights, Black Power and Pan-African movements. A person of African descent, former President Barack Obama, was elected to two terms of office in 2008 and again in 2012. Notwithstanding this symbolic victory over institutional racism, which is still quite prevalent in the 21st century in the US, the fundamental conditions of African Americans, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, women and other oppressed and working-class people has in fact worsened.
The foreign policy negative effectuation of the Obama presidency proved disastrous in regard to the prosperity and well-being of Africa. The destruction of Libya and a concomitant destabilisation of the entire North Africa region have led to the human trafficking of millions. This African, Arab and Asian migration tide across the Mediterranean, compounded by the overall lethargy of the world capitalist system, has fuelled the rise of neo-fascist parties and politicians in Europe as well as the US.
Obama took no specific policy initiatives to improve the social conditions of African Americans who as a result of the Great Recession beginning in 2007, lost more than half of their household wealth through foreclosures, job losses, the decline in real wages and the rapid gentrification of urban areas. Police and vigilante killings of African Americans under the Obama administration sparked several limited rebellions along with mass demonstrations against this genocidal violence, coined by the corporate media as the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
Absent the consolidation of anti-racist sentiment, which arose during the period of 2013-2016, the character of the struggle remains largely spontaneous. In the US today there is nothing remotely resembling the BPP or SNCC. The political imperatives of the African American people are rudimentary in relationship to the building of mass and vanguard organisations whose objectives are the revolutionary uprooting of national oppression, gender discrimination, capitalism and imperialism.
These subjective weaknesses among the nationally oppressed and proletariat by no means guarantees the stability of capitalism. The imposition of tariffs by Washington against the People’s Republic of China and other states reflects the uncertainty of the future of imperialism as an exploitative system. Bourgeois economists are predicting another recession originating on Wall Street. The question becomes: what will the US ruling class and capitalist state do in response to this inevitability?
The massive bailout of the capitalist system from 2008 to the present to the tune of US$10 trillion or more in resources has drained the capacity for much needed rebuilding of infrastructure and the lifting of social wages for the nationally oppressed, farmers and the working class as a whole. Rising annual federal deficits provide an ominous preview to the potential collapse of governmental agencies rendering them incapable of responding to environmental catastrophes and a potential for the rapid rise of unemployment and poverty.
Africans in the US and around the world have virtual no alternatives to revolutionary organisation and the seizure of political power on an international scale. The lessons of the PACF of 50 years ago portend much for this contemporary crisis.

SVSU is set to host the FIRST Robotics state competition for the second consecutive year from Wednesday, April 11, until Saturday, April 14.
FIRST Robotics is an international high school robotics competition. Students, coaches and mentors had six weeks to build a game-playing robot and then compete in district events. Teams who are successful at the district level then compete at the state championship at SVSU to earn a spot at the world championship, taking place in Houston and Detroit later this year.
In each round, three teams compete using autonomous and remote-controlled robots piloted by students, battling to earn points during a two-minute round.
Adrianne Cole, the director of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) at SVSU, said this year’s theme is “Power Up.”
“Two alliances (teams) are trapped in an arcade game,” she said. “To escape, alliances use power cubes to control switches and a scale. Robots must be programmed and controlled to move the power cubes throughout the competition field to earn points during the match. Robots can also climb a central tower for additional points and to defeat the ‘game boss.’”
Cole said some of the changes that will be made from last year’s competition include widening doorways in the Ryder Center between the arena and the fieldhouse to better accommodate robot traffic, as well as pedestrian traffic in the area. The robots will be able to move directly between the two spaces instead of circling around the arena.
Practice sessions and robot repairs will take place in SVSU’s fieldhouse, while competition events will be held in O’Neill Arena of the Ryder Center.
Major sponsors for the state championships include Consumers Energy, The Dow Chemical Company, DTE Energy and Ford Motor Company.
Many SVSU faculty and staff volunteer their time to support local schools and education programs. More than 300 individuals – faculty, staff, students and alumni – volunteered during the 2017 state championships.
“Some of our current SVSU students were part of their high school FIRST robotics teams and enjoyed volunteering at the state championship last year – we hope that this continues again this year,” Cole said. “For high school students, many that are from other regions in the state are unfamiliar with our campus. I spoke with many FIRST robotics participants and family members last year, and they were incredibly impressed with our campus and what we offer to our SVSU students. This could potentially increase SVSU’s enrollment in future years.”
The event is a boon to local businesses. The Great Lakes Bay Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau estimated the economic impact of last year’s event to be at least $1 million.
Cole expects to see a similar result for this year’s event.
“The impact on the community was tremendous – all the local hotels were full, and restaurants were very busy during last year’s event,” Cole said. “We anticipate the same this year.”
FIRST Robotics teams that qualify for the state finals will arrive Wednesday for inspection. The qualifying rounds of competition are throughout the day Thursday and Friday. The playoff rounds will be Saturday with the champion crowned that afternoon.
“One of the things that we do really well at SVSU is to make people feel welcome on our campus,” Cole said. “Thank you to all the volunteers who made last year’s event so successful and thank you to all who are volunteering this year. The impact on our campus and the community is truly amazing.”

As a general rule, you should remove your pieces before you shower, bathe, or wash your hands. If you don't remove your jewellery, you risk damaging them as well as making them appear dull - when built up this is difficult to remove.
Lotions, perfumes, cosmetics, and hair products can tarnish your jewellery, so try to remember to remove all pieces before application.
Remove jewellery before you go into a hot tub, swimming pool, or are exposed to any chemicals. The chemicals will weaken delicate parts and cause your jewellery to become tarnished and tainted.
STERLING SILVER & GOLD FILLED
For sterling silver & gold filled follow all general care guidelines, you should also remove your jewellery while doing household chores.
When sterling silver comes into contact with chemicals, perspiration, rubber, bleach, or any products containing sulfur, the chemicals will cause corrosion and tarnish in your jewellery.
Please note, gold filled jewellery is NOT solid gold.
PEARLS & GEMS
Like the above instructions, pearls cannot come in contact with any chemicals. This is extended to cleaning cloths, gold/silver cleaning cloths cannot be used with pearls.
In addition, pearls should be kept out of extreme temperatures.
ADDITIONAL CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning cloths are recommended for our jewellery, please take note of what the cleaning cloth you are buying is recommended for, as different cloths are used for different kinds of metals.
We also offer cleaning services - contact us to have your jewellery professionally cleaned. We offer this service free of charge for any jewellery purchased, you will just need to pay your postage.
To wash your pieces containing gold, sapphires or sterling silver, use warm water with a couple of drops of mild (gentle) dishwashing liquid, or a cleaning solution that's specifically made for gold, and let it soak.
Gently scrub your piece with a soft toothbrush in an up and down motion. Place your piece back in lukewarm water to remove any soap residue left over. Once completed, air dry, or towel dry it with a paper towel or cloth - be gentle!
To clean gold vermeil, gently buff with a soft cloth and place it back into your jewellery box! While the gold vermeil itself won't tarnish, the silver underneath might.

Re: Tying Kits - Feedback, reviews, suggestions?
I just purchased the Clearwater Tool Kit and Danvise from Orvis for a total of $115. This should give me somthing to grow into without a huge dent in my wallet.
Now - time to wade through all of the materials
I found lists of materials for Wooly Buggers and Clousers at "Pete's R&B"
6/0 Thread (3/0 was recommended)
Cement & Thinner
I stuck with common colors and ones that I prefer to fish locally - black, olive, chartreuse, silver, white, blue
I have a week or so before I get this stuff. Are there any other materials I should pickup to get started? Different thread sizes? I am starting with size 8-12 hooks.
FYI, my "kit" cost me about $200.

Lately I’ve been knitting, and it got me thinking about my writing. If you are not a knitter, you may not have noticed that people knit from round balls of yarn but yarn is not sold in round balls. It’s sold in skeins. The reason people have round balls of yarn is they take the skein of yarn and unwind it and wind it back up into a ball.
Knitters do this in order run the yarn through their hands. You have to examine all of the yarn because if there is a knot somewhere in the middle of the skein, you need to know about it. If you find a knot, you can cut it out. You’ll be left with two smaller balls of yarn, neither of which will have a knot in it.
A knot in the middle of a row of knitting looks terrible and can ruin a project if it happens to fall in the wrong place. Thinking about this process in knitting led me to thinking about abdominal surgery.
In trauma surgery, the surgeon will “run the bowels” if a patient has trauma to the abdomen (such as a stab wound.) That means the surgeon holds the small intestines in his or her hands, examining every inch of it for any perforations, as even a tiny hole can lead to infection and death.
As writers, we have to do the same thing, metaphorically speaking, with our pieces. I’m currently working on a short story that I started last year. There’s a part of me that is entirely sick of it. I’m so familiar with the story by now that it’s easy to skim through it and miss obvious mistakes, never mind the subtle nuances of style and effect.
One way that I “run” my story is by reading it out loud, which I do periodically. Another way is by retyping it into the computer from a printed out version. I find this to be unreliable as I can skim as I type, but it’s better than nothing.
The best way I know to “run” my story, once I feel it is nearly complete, is to have someone read it to me (or to listen to it after I’ve recorded it) and retype it as they speak (or as I listen to the recording).
While this process can be tedious, for me it’s a necessary step, to make sure my piece doesn’t have any knots or holes in it.
What’s your process for polishing your writing piece?
Diane MacKinnon, MD: is a writer, blogger, life coach, family physician, mother, and stepmother. I’m currently goggling at the fact that two months of 2015 have almost gone by already! I can’t believe it’s almost March. I need to keep plugging away at my writing goals before the end of March–the end of the first quarter of 2015!

Multipurpose Financing Solution
Comprehensive financing without complications
Once granted, you only pay for the amount you use.
Lets you plan and do simulations.
You can use the limit for the most common purposes of a company.
You can also add a credit account for other purposes.
A simple way to finance
You won't have to deal with multiple financing products. You will manage a single financing limit that you can use for the most common needs.
You can draw down the full limit online or, if you prefer, at your BBVA branch. You just have to choose the purpose of the financing, amount and maturity date.
You only pay for what you use
If you have a limit of €500,000 and you use €120,000 to finance payments and advance collections, you only pay for the €120,000. The only additional costs would be those associated with the contract.
How much would you pay for that €120,000? It depends on the financial conditions you agreed with your branch. When you apply for the limit, you negotiate the financial conditions with your adviser. Once the facility is activated, you have full autonomy to draw it down in your online account, although we'll always be there to help you if you need it.
In your account in seconds
As soon as you make an online drawdown, you will see the amount in your account. To simplify the process, we have listed the eligible purposes for the financing, which include the most typical ones:
- Payroll and social security.
- Payments to suppliers.
- Advance collection on exports.
- Advance collection of national invoices.
- Pre-financing of exports (financing for the manufacturing period for an export). This option is only available in branches.
How it works
1. This is how to apply:
- You meet with your adviser to negotiate the limit and the financial conditions.
- Once BBVA authorizes the risk limit, it is signed in the notary's office.
- The limit is activated and, once your online banking users are set up, you have access to it.
2. And this is how it is used online:
- Access your Multi-Purpose Facility, enter the purpose, amount and maturity date.
- Simulate to find out what you will pay in that case.
- You draw down and, if the bank approves the operation, the amount will be in your account in seconds, which you can then use to pay.
It improves your bargaining power
By knowing the costs of the different types of financing in advance, you can improve your trading position in your operations and optimize your margins: discounts for volume, early payment, etc.

Media turns a sterile WordPress blog into a living, bustling website, but the hard truth is that files and SEO do not go well together. There just is not much to say to the contrary - slower loading times lead to lower SEO scores. However, not all hope is lost. A few months ago we talked about how WP Speed of Light mitigates the issues with lazy loading. Now, we are going a step further.
As a reminder, lazy loading does not load all of the images in a WordPress post or page as soon as the user lands on the page. Instead, WP Speed of Light waits until the images come into view to download them. That way, the page loads much faster initially, helping SEO while making the experience more pleasing to readers on slower internet speed.
In version 2.5 of the WordPress plugin, the lazy loading feature has been improved to be a little bit more reactive to your audience’s devices and their limits. WP Speed of Light’s latest iteration of lazy loading is more responsive, particularly to users on lower-end mobiles or slow internet speed.
Instead of seeing no images and then having them load abruptly, your WordPress users will initially see a low-res, blurred version of the media file. When it finishes downloading, the image fades into focus. In this way, readers will know that an image exists, and they can either wait for it to load or continue reading and go back to it later.
What is the best thing about the latest update to WP Speed of Light? If you have the pro addon for the WordPress plugin, you need barely budge a finger. To set up lazy loading, head to the WP Speed of Light’s speed optimization menu. From there, enably image lazy loading from the speedup tab.
If you want greater control, check out our previous post, but that should do it to test out lazy loading’s latest feature. In fact, that is practically it. With image lazy loading enabled, media files will load only if and when necessary with the new blurring feature to boot.
As shown above, your images will initially display a low-res placeholder image on slow networks, blurred to be more aesthetically pleasing. WordPress loads - or rather, lazy loads - the full-resolution image in the background without interrupting the reader. When the image finishes lazy loading, the placeholder image gives way to the full image.
The million dollar question, though, is how this new image lazy loading affects SEO. After all, wouldn’t the blurred image placeholder add more loading time? In reality, yes. In practice, not at all. WP Speed of Light’s placeholder is a tiny, 20 pixels image that takes negligible time to load, adding no overhead to your SEO loading times. At the same time, the blurring hides the pixelated artifacts of the low-quality image.
And like in the previous version of the lazy loading all image SEO HTML elements are loaded on first shot (not lazy loaded). Therefore, the Google bots and other can read the image file name, title, alt tag.
SEO is important, but it should be secondary to user experience. WP Speed of Light’s latest update takes this principle to heart, but combines the functionality that benefits SEO with the aesthetics that make readers keep coming back - all at no extra cost to SEO. Check the rendering of a progressive lazy loading here:

MySpace was still a thing in July, 2009 when I received a request for an online interview. I was in a very strange and transitional place. My Christian house of cards had suddenly fallen and I had just realized that I could no longer consider myself a believer in any meaningful sense although I still had questions; lots of questions. I had told nobody about my current thinking. There’s a whole comprehensive worldview, ethic and life-context to rebuild once the religious framework for all of that has been duly dismissed. I simply had not yet done enough of that work to talk coherently or intelligently about where I was or where I was headed. I didn’t even know myself where that might be and what it might look like. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do the interview and answer the questions honestly and coherently and both are prerequisites for me. I agreed to do it.
Some of my uncertainty shows through and I’d probably bring a little more nuance to some answers, maybe answering just a little differently in places. There were aspects of questions I avoided in order to address ideas I felt more strongly about and I refused one question explicitly. I don’t remember the name of the person who did the interview. All I have is that the guy went by “Jeff the Libertarian.” He posted my answers honestly and I credit him for that. That interview is no longer online, so I present it here edited only for grammar.
JEFF: I had the honor of meeting you at an Undercover concert in ’82. I know you get together some as Undercover still. What is the current make-up of the band? Do you keep up with any of the former members of the band (e.g. original members Bill Walden and Ric Alba)? Also, I had an impression there was kind of a community feeling with Undercover and other bands like Lifesavors, the Lifters, the Chosen Ones, Youth Choir (better known as The Choir), the Alter Boys, and maybe others like the Omega Band, Crumbacher, and Common Bond. If that impression was true, do you keep up with these people?
OJO: Undercover consists of the same lineup from the Branded album through Devotion: Sim Wilson, Gary Olson, Gym, and me. The only other member we see with any regularity is Bill Walden and I am in touch with Rob Gallas (who sang the Forum album) from time to time. Whenever we are in the same geography we try to get together and we email from time to time. I got an email from Ric Alba some time ago but we lost each other again (Update: glad in so many ways that is no longer the case!).
As far as the other bands you mentioned, there will always be a sense of camaraderie with most of them because we all were working roughly around the same time. I really don’t see or talk to them much because everyone’s got their own thing going on, although Facebook has changed that somewhat and I have renewed lots of connections with some of these artists there and on My Space. The person I talk to most often is perhaps Beth Jahnsen and her sister Dawn (keyboard player for Crumbacher). They promoted the Broken Records reunion concert (2005) and that’s really the last time I physically saw anyone.
JEFF: I think I heard you were an ordained minister, and I think some members of Lifesavors were as well. Your profile mentions you were raised Catholic, which you had returned to after being involved in Calvary Chapel Yorba Linda/the Vineyard. How has your theology changed over the years?
OJO: I was never an ordained minister. I don’t know that any of the Lifesavors were either although it wouldn’t surprise me if Chris Wimber was ordained since his father was John Wimber, head of The Vineyard and I think Chris had a leadership position in that church up to the time he died. I’m not certain though. I believe Terry Taylor from DA was ordained but I’m not positive.
As far as my theology, the easy but not too helpful answer is that I went from nominal Catholicism to protestant evangelical fundamentalism back to Catholicism, although the move back to Catholicism was on my own terms. That move is really less a reflection of theology as it is other things. Undercover did many hundreds of concerts at many churches in many states and countries for a number of years. The bottom line is that through all of that, there wasn’t a single “church,” denomination or sect that I did not have rather substantial questions about at some major theological level. Of course the same is true with Catholicism. It was familiar though and appealed to me in a different way when I made the move back. I have two cousins that are missionary nuns with the Maryknoll order and they were instrumental in keeping me together back then. I appreciated the ritual, the liturgy, the sensory points of contact – incense, music, water, sacramentals. In spite of the church’s awful history through much of the medieval period and the crusades, there was something comforting in its traditional accountability compared to so many churches that just pop up out of nowhere (or anywhere) led by someone with questionable or no credentials or accountability, and little or no formal education (and yes, I think that’s important).
The priest I was speaking to at the time told me it was important for me to assent to certain doctrines and I told him flat out I could not do that on a certain number of teachings. He had to confer with his superior and came back and told me that if I at least stayed open to them I would be welcomed back. That seemed fair and reasonable so I agreed to stay open, even though I was pretty clear on some. Again though, it was not as much about doctrine as I said, as I was quite clear that I was certainly no worse off there doctrinally overall as any place else I’d been, including Calvary, Vineyard and their many offshoots and sister churches, or the more mainstream protestant churches. Of course many will disagree with me, some vehemently, but you asked me, and that’s my answer.
JEFF: My wife and I look back at the early ’80’s as a time of joy — maybe the good old days. For example, we always enjoyed seeing the joy on Bill Walden’s face when Undercover performed, and we have fond memories thinking of songs like “Heal Me“, “It’s Official“, “He’s In Love With You“, and “Excuse Us.” Was that time as much a time of joy as we thought, and is it just our imagination that the joy in contemporary Christian music is not there anymore? If there was a change, what caused it?
OJO: There was a simple joy back then and Bill was always (and still is) authentic. I appreciate that about him. I’m glad you have those memories and I think it’s a good thing to celebrate them. We were all young and that’s part of it. We had not yet had much life behind us and the songs reflected that, thus the simple joy. We loved what we were doing. As we grew and got knocked around a little, built a library of experience and had questions forced on us by life, the later songs reflected that too. There’s more to it though. It was also due to the time in which Undercover worked.
CCM was not integrated into the larger music industry. It was always a separate animal. When we started we found we were too “secular” looking and sounding for many churches and too “religious” in lyric for most record labels and venues. Those walls have been largely broken down since and I’m happy for that. I have always said that I thought the music should stand or fall on its own artistic merit and that there are not two worlds, a Christian one and a secular one. There’s only one world and we all live in it. The church at that time needed and was ready for a cultural youth revolution and they got one. Many people have written about that so I won’t say more on it here. So that revolution within the church happened. It can’t be recreated. The phenomena you miss either has to be nostalgic or new and if it’s new, it has to be its own movement based on new criteria.
I don’t really know if there were any up and coming bands after us who took on the “simple joy” mantle. For us there was no turning back and I can tell you the music reached people in the early days and the music reached at least as many people in the later stages too. So is there a place for that simplicity? Why not? Anyone can write simple joyful songs if they feel that is what they should do, just like we did. The sociology of Christian music and Christian bands has changed rather radically though in these 25 years and my guess would be that artists that do that kind of music would probably be confined to the church itself and not work much on the outside.
JEFF: One thing that was neat about Undercover was their heart of evangelism — I remember a review criticizing the “God Rules” project as every song being a paraphrase of John 3:16. This question is two-fold: 1) do you think CCM is as evangelistic as it was in those days and 2) how do you currently view evangelism?
OJO: I have to be honest with you. I have no idea what’s going on in CCM today and so I cannot comment on whether it is as evangelistic as it was during the God Rules era. My guess is that there are people still doing the work, but again, the sociology of the industry has changed and I would be very surprised if it was working the same way it did back then, and would NOT be surprised if it was done much more at a grass roots level. Let’s face it. As an entity, CCM is a commercial enterprise, not an evangelical one.
But then your second question comes into play. What exactly is evangelism? Again, I have always said from the beginning of Undercover that it must be an individual experience not a corporate experience, and must carry some level of accountability with it. One of my favorite quotes (I can’t remember if it’s Aquinas or Francis of Assisi) is “Speak the gospel and if necessary, use words.” Talk is cheap, songs are easy to write, lyrics can be slapped together by anyone. It’s too easy to create emotional appeal with sound and lights, music, theatrics, staging, and many people respond to that kind of thing. Televangelists and workaday pastors also know this all too well. I place value on the example of someone’s life, and by that, I don’t mean someone’s sinless and holy life. There is no such animal. What I mean is that I want to see integrity between one’s message and one’s life, no matter what the message is, even if it’s, for example, a celebrity endorsement of some kind. The farther we get from that individual experience and genuine example, the more tenuous and inauthentic it becomes. I think people responded to our music because our music truly reflected what was going on in our lives as I mentioned in the previous question. We always wrote that way.
Of course, many musicians do not purport to have a message, but are artists and entertainers. As long as they represent themselves that way, I don’t see any problem with authenticity. There are those who suggest that anyone with any kind of religious or spiritual angle to their art has a responsibility. I suppose that’s probably a reasonable argument. On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with a Christian wanting to be in a non-religious artistic environment.
JEFF: In the late ’80’s you released a project titled “Relative“. One song that made an impression on me was “Witch Hunt”, with Lifesavors’ Michael Knott doing the lead vocals. For those who are familiar with Petra’s song by the same name, there is no musical similarity. Could you tell me a bit about that song, and how would you feel it relates to the current culture (both Christian and American)?
OJO: I don’t know the Petra song. On the liner notes to the Relative album, at the bottom of the lyrics and credits for that song, I wrote the following:
Christian militarism must end. My most difficult battle is against myself; not other people or the world. Where God Rules, Peace Reigns.
I think that pretty much sums it up. I don’t think the church has any business doing battle with others until it has mastered or at least committed to mastering, in practice, the overarching principle of this religion, and that is love.
There is an interesting story about the song though. I got a call from the head of distribution at Word Records shortly after the record came out. Apparently there was a Christian bookstore retailer who took the album off the shelf because of the lines:
Hatred and anger
From a babe in a manger
His life is misconceived
This person (I don’t know who it was) thought I was trying to say that his life was a bad idea. That Jesus’ birth was a mistake. I told the Word rep to look the word up in the dictionary. It means misunderstood. So two things come up for me here. First, we are reactionary and I don’t think that’s a good life strategy for people of faith. Second, many religious people are averse to thinking. As far as how the song relates to the current culture, I’ll leave that one for the politics question below.
JEFF: I’ve mentioned some of my favorite Undercover songs above as well as “Witch Hunt.” What other songs have you heard people tell you that touched you? Do you have any favorites (either from Undercover or solo)?
OJO: I do have some favorites although I am reluctant to say which ones. I was interviewed for a book by Jerry Wilson (God is Not Dead, and Neither Are We, available on Amazon.com) and said that when we are working on a song, it is ours. Once it leaves my studio, it is no longer ours and belongs to everyone else in terms of how it impacts them, what it means, how it works or not. I don’t want to color that process. Every song we’ve released has had some kind of impact on any number of people and that’s a humbling idea for me. I will say one thing though, and that is that the song “He Fell in the Water” on Relative is one of my favorites because it has the recorded voices of my kids in it, and the song is really personal for me.
OJO: Jim Nicholson wrote Promenade and Sim Wilson wrote the lyrics so I can’t really comment intelligently on what it meant for them. I was caught up in producing and engineering the tracks and we brought Terry Taylor in to help with backing vocal arrangements on that one. Once the song was done, as I mentioned, out it went! We didn’t play it live much so it was never too terribly high on my radar screen in terms of a song that defined that time in our history or what we were trying to say. Perhaps you could tell me about what that song means to you!
One to One was written just after Branded and is similar in tone to Witch Hunt. It’s a lament of sorts, that the church has gotten things so fundamentally backwards. God is Love, according to the bible, and yet the church is so caught up in almost any number of other things. I’m in the middle of an email exchange with Bill Walden right now where we’re talking about things the church is doing right, things it’s doing wrong, and things it should be doing. Regarding those questions relative to the idea of love, I wrote in one letter, “Ideas and clear thought come from elsewhere, and love is the domain of all people. Should the children of God, whoever they are, whatever that is, not lead in its practice and cultivation? Until they do, I don’t really want to hear another word from anyone about anything spiritual or doctrinal, nothing about worship or sin, nothing about anything, until love rules systemically, in our mission statements, in practice, in our goals, foremost in our life paths.” That’s what One to One is about.
JEFF: Please tell me about “The Book of Waiting”. Is it available for people to purchase? (By the way, I remember in ’84 you had a three part class on music theory — I would have enjoyed that class.)
OJO: Book of Waiting is a four-movement composition I wrote for string orchestra performed at my thesis recital for my masters degree in Composition and Theory. The piece was performed in June, 2007 and recorded live on a little M-box. It’s not available for purchase but anyone can hear two of the movements (my two favorite) on my own My Space page (or on Soundcloud here and here). There’s also a blog entry about it there (Update: The link is gone and the essay currently lost; still looking). It’s based on a 12th-century sequence (Gregorian Chant) and all the music is based on those simple monophonic materials. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I also like the multiple meanings of the word “waiting” and that felt relevant to me while I was finishing up the piece.
JEFF: I’ve heard one Christian say that politics were for unbelievers, while others are saying we should resist our sitting president. What is your opinion of our role in politics?
OJO: Well, I suppose this depends on how you want to interpret the bible on this, and which scripture you want to give credence to. One can either render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, respect the government as heavenly ordained, or one can take a different tack and resist. Do you mean our current sitting president or any sitting president? There are certainly many Christians virulently and rabidly resisting this president, and there are many who thought W. Bush was the antichrist too and of course both sides think they have scripture on their side. I would ask what it is exactly that they want to resist? The person? His policies? His party? The government itself? I think this is a slippery slope when one mixes politics and religion, although I think as citizens we have civic responsibilities including the right to vote one’ s conscience. When the presentation becomes anything more than personal opinion, when the discussion becomes more about whether God is more closely aligned with democrats or republicans or something else, or any of their respective platforms, it is a dead end and an albatross, a net loss for the church and its credibility, and detrimental to the Christian’s cause. The recent example where Liberty University forbade a Democratic student club to meet was an embarrassment and an outrage. Of course the Falwells and many others are no stranger to either.
The church as an institution ought to stick to its knitting, its mission statement and that is love, end of story. There will be the fringe who thinks that they are actually engaged in Christian love by such things as killing abortion providers, and spouting extremist and political vitriol (“God hates fags” for example). As individuals, I think it’s fine to have opinions and civil and respectful debate. One can responsibly oppose specific policies but we are so divided as a country right now, more than I’ve ever seen, and this goes back to my thing above: until the church can master love, I don’t think it has much business being so positional and “militant” about government or anything else.
I’ll say this too. I think any church or parachurch organization that steps even one centimeter over the political line ought to immediately lose its tax-exempt status retroactive to the time it became political. I have my own strong opinions on our country and the way it should be governed. I’m not going to make those God’s opinions. I think it’s a huge mistake to do so and this stuff sticks.
JEFF: I’d like to hear how your family are doing and especially about your dogs. Also, I’d like to hear about your local church and the encouragement they have been to you. By the way, how is Gym doing?
OJO: Thank you for asking. Everyone is doing well. My dogs are in Los Angeles for now and I miss them. My kids are scattered too now that they’re mostly grown and I miss them terribly and try to fly out to see as many of them as I can as much as I can. Gym’s also doing very well. If it’s ok with you, I’d prefer to leave any more than this out of the interview, just for my own privacy.
JEFF: In “The Supremacy Of God In Preaching”, John Piper mentions his seminary professor encouraged the students to pick a theologian to immerse themselves into (Piper chose Jonathan Edwards). I may have some reservations about that approach, but I find the question interesting. If you were to select a theologian/ apologist/ preacher/ author to immerse yourself in, who would it be and why?
OJO: I have some reservations about that too. I believe strongly in exposing myself to as many ideas as I can. I teach at a university where the exchange of different perspectives, points of view and ideas is expected and respected. I read rather voraciously and am probably on my tenth book or so this summer with a long queue. I also find it difficult to narrowly define “theology.” Einstein had a lot to say about God and what that meant to him, relative to what we know and are learning about the cosmos and ourselves. I consider that part of the theological discussion, as I do Kenneth Miller’s fine book on evolution and faith (Finding Darwin’s God). Miller is the Catholic author of the biology textbook at the center of the Kansas school board controversy on creationism and biology. He is both a devout catholic and opponent of Intelligent Design. His science is compelling.
One of my favorites this summer has been Bart D. Ehrman, probably not a favorite of most evangelicals. He does, however, have lots to say about the historical-critical study of the scriptures and what we do know, what we can and cannot know about them. Everyone interested in the scriptures ought to know this stuff, even if it challenges one’s biases, and the arguments ought to be evaluated based on their merits, not on the desirability of the conclusions reached or whether those conclusions confirm what we already believe. I have also read N.T. Wright this summer, an obviously brilliant man and probably more in line with what most Christians would be comfortable with. Right now I am reading Carl Sagan. He was not a believer in God as far as I can tell, and yet I think he asks really great and honest questions. I think the church ought to undertake answering them on their merits. I have six more Sagan books in the queue right now that I want to finish before the summer is over.
A couple years ago I got an email from a guy by the name of Preston Jones, a history professor at John Brown University in Arkansas, a private Christian college. He had just written a book with Greg Graffin, the lead singer of the band Bad Religion who is also himself a Ph.D and professor at UCLA. Preston said he mentioned Undercover in the book and that he had met his wife at an Undercover concert and asked if I’d like a copy of the book. Since then we’ve struck up a friendship and I even stayed at his house last summer on the drive back to L.A. from Virginia. Anyway, Chuck Colson loved and reviewed the book (“Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant: A Professor and a Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism & Christianity”) and lifted this quote of Preston’s from it, which I think is a great quote. “I suppose that sometimes I’ve felt more at ease with thoughtful atheists than with Christians because atheists often come to their beliefs after asking difficult questions about evil, suffering and the seeming indifference of the universe.” I couldn’t agree more, and I highly recommend this book.
JEFF: One of my favorite Bible promises is 2 Timothy 3:12: “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” (I wonder why I don’t see this verse plastered on bumpers?) Have you encountered persecution in any form, and how did you deal with it?
OJO: Persecution in first-through-third -century mostly illiterate and pagan Palestine, Europe, and Asia-minor or in pre-enlightenment societies is a very different animal than persecution today in the modern industrialized world and I think many Christians make the mistake of equating the two. I also think Christians invite it for the sake of being able to say they were ridiculed for their beliefs and practices when really, many of the beliefs were ridiculed because they’re just stupid and uninformed beliefs and practices, often based on poorly thought out platitudes. I would not call that persecution.
Unless someone’s in certain parts of Africa or other third world countries or perhaps certain Islamic countries, any one of which could get someone killed for their beliefs, maybe China, I’m not sure what persecution really means. We don’t do lion’s dens or gladiators here or in most of the world. We don’t crucify people or stone them, although that does happen in some parts of the world. I don’t think that’s what you mean though. Overall this is more about a battle of ideas in our Western world. Some people agree and some disagree with me. That’s their prerogative. I don’t consider that persecution. I’ve never been thrown in jail or flogged for my beliefs so in that sense, I cannot say I’ve been persecuted and really don’t know anyone who has legitimately been persecuted (for their religious beliefs), although I do have friends involved in smuggling Bibles into certain countries. Is it persecution if they get caught and punished for doing what they knew was a violation of a sovereign country’s laws? Perhaps it is, or perhaps it’s just the consequences of one’s actions. If one wants to argue that a teenager who is cruelly ostracized for his or her beliefs is persecuted, perhaps that would qualify.
Overall though, I am fortunate to live in a time and place where the free exchange of ideas is the norm. Have I been sworn and yelled at? Yes, that’s just part of the debate in my mind, and in that sense, I’ve been “persecuted” for my ideas as much or more by Christians than “pagans.” In that sense, I’ve also been “persecuted” for my musical ideas as well. So I don’t know about that verse you quoted and its relevance today in our society. In fact, I am concerned that it incites Christians to invite persecution for its own sake in order to confirm in their own minds that they really are “living godly” and so they can feel better about the treasures they are storing up for themselves in heaven. If that’s so, it actually could reward abrasive, confrontational and argumentative behavior, all in plentiful supply in the church today, all things it doesn’t need. That doesn’t serve anyone well. Personally, I think love is a better idea, and we know from Paul that love knows no offense.
JEFF: You made a comment about me telling you what “Promenade” meant to me. I remember hearing the beginning of the chorus the line “Divided we fall, together we stand; If I should fall, come and take my hand.” It alludes to what you said about Christians needing to focus on loving one another (I’m actually thinking about writing a book on that subject). One quote of my own is “Christians too often divide from those they should be united with and unite with those we should be divided from.” Focusing on the second part, do you believe there are instances where Christians are doing the equivalent of the Israelites intermarrying with the pagans and being led astray? In other words, do you think the church has lost its discernment (not to mention a lack of effort to think)?
OJO: I think you’re asking some really good and relevant questions. They seem relevant because many of these are hot-button issues for us today. And why is that? I believe the church has a number of rather significant cultural problems on its hands and it’s not sure exactly how to deal with them. I don’t want to engage in this debate specifically, and my point will become clearer below. Take for example the question of gay marriage. There is little doubt that many christians see the bible as explicitly condemning such an idea. That’s their prerogative. Rick Warren unsuccessfully had to navigate through that when he said he never condemned gay marriage and then a number of videos came out showing him doing just that. Which is it? Choose! The bible condemns many other things too such as banking practices that charge interest, and I wonder where the outrage is for such things that we now accept as pretty normal and inescapable parts of modern life. On the other hand, the bible supports certain things that today are outrageous to us such as slavery and the oppression of women, to list only a few. We conveniently sweep these under the rug in our discussions but the church is very vocal about the things it is concerned about because those things are threatening at some level today. On what basis do we choose what parts of the Bible are relevant to us today and which are no longer? That we do so is indisputable. When’s the last time any of us stoned to death our disobedient children?
I’m aware of course that there are all kinds of ways the church rationalizes the discrepancies. The church has to jump through all kinds of hoops to talk about how some of that is the Old Testament, superseded by the New (which also has cultural problems), that God’s not really that way, that it means something else, that there’s another interpretation, that it’s supposed to foreshadow this or that or the other thing, that it’s cultural not spiritual, but the point is it’s all in there and the authors, whoever they were, and church fathers throughout history were very clear that these things are God’s preferences. The Jews still embrace their law. So what are we to do today in our post-enlightenment society? The question then, about pagans, and false gods and intermarrying seems to me to be a similar problem. I don’t know anyone who worships Baal or Diana, Zeus, or any of the thousands of other ancient deities. So perhaps you mean being led astray by intermarrying with other sects or faiths, or perhaps by marrying humanists or atheists?
There is good evidence outside of religion, that people of similar cultural perspective are more likely to have successful marriages. That includes similar religious practice. Some of those, like race, are breaking down bit by bit. There are also many people who marry outside their faith and do just fine. It takes work and respect but it can work. Is it possible that our partners and the people we associate with will influence us? I think it is, and I think it’s probably even a good thing. Remember though, my own perspective is one of not fearing different ideas that may challenge my own beliefs. To adopt Old Testament models of intolerance seems the wrong context for the dialogue. We have access to ways of learning and discovering truth that ancient superstitious and nomadic, illiterate peoples did not have and could not have even conceived, and I am only interested in the truth. We are post-enlightenment and I think that means something. So I think an upgrade of the sense of what “discernment” means is necessary when we have insight, data, technology, a methodology for collecting and evaluating evidence, empiricism, and that holding on to some of those ancient cultural ideas is not prudent and in many, many cases unsupportable any longer. That’s going to be a threatening idea to some.
So the second part of your question becomes relevant. I don’t think the church has lost its discernment but it is struggling with relevance. It is in some cases reluctant to practice or embrace the sources of “modern discernment” or “contemporary” forms of discernment if that makes anyone more comfortable, because it threatens certain precious ideas. So yes, certain church segments become reluctant to think, even condemning intellectualism, and fall back into contracted, romanticized states of pre-enlightenment religion. I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s also a great way for people to avoid the hard work of becoming informed and learning. There are so many powerful new discoveries in archaeology, history, biblical studies, the physical sciences, many of which have profound consequences for what we believe. Falling back into that contracted romanticized religious state is a good way to avoid the effort, as you said, to think. So what of those who don’t have the capacity to understand all this stuff? The answer is simple. Love. For the rest, I think that while we don’t know everything, and in some ways we still don’t know much, we do know some things, and to deny those things is to deny the truth, and well, I don’t want to be in that place.
JEFF: You mentioned you teach at a university. Which one, and what do you teach? Do you still teach music theory as well?
OJO: I am Associate Professor of Music at James Madison University, about two hours outside of Washington DC. I teach History of Rock, Songwriting, and a number of courses on the business and legal aspects of the music industry like publishing, management, marketing of music, all that kind of stuff. We offer an undergraduate degree in Music Industry and also a minor. It’s a popular program and I feel very lucky to have this job. I feel I am uniquely prepared for it given my own music background and education. I love the students and it’s a great sense of mission and meaning for me. I never realized before how important this role could be in students’ lives; the role of being an interim or surrogate parent type to them as they transition from their teenage years to adulthood. So I get to be that parent / anti-parent type, which means I am both an authority figure in their lives but also a mentor, a coach, and then later, a friend and peer.
After the interview we exchanged a couple of emails clarifying and talking a little more about a couple things:
Thanks for your answers. I found it very insightful (which does not surprise me), and for the most part I’m in agreement with you. (I am probably more settled on creationism than you are.) I will mention that I personally was amused that you referred to your Calvary Chapel / Vineyard involvement as being Fundamentalist, because I was in a Fundamentalist movement that would not consider Calvary Chapel fundamentalist (due to the views on the gifts and probably the music and atmosphere), let alone the Vineyard.
[…] I really enjoyed your answers. I will add that Petra’s song “Witch Hunt” was from their ’84 “Beat The System” project, which was more pop than their typical hard rock, and was done in tongue-in-cheek, with over dubs that made you think of Steve Taylor’s first two albums (not surprisingly, because Jonathan David Brown produced both Petra and Steve Taylor’s first projects, and I wouldn’t be surprised if his work with Taylor gave him ideas for this Petra song.) I’ll also add that in my “Taylor Brothers” idea, there is more than just the common last name — all three of you are alternative Christian artists that think outside the box and are not afraid to step on toes or make people think. In other words, it would be different than having a “Steve Brothers” group with Steves Camp, Curtis Chapman, Green, and Taylor — that would be a little more schizophrenic. I could actually conceive you, Steve Taylor, and Terry working together and coming up with a great, cohesive project.
One more note — I find your answer on Catholicism interesting, knowing that both Steve Taylor and Matthew Ward (2nd Chapter of Acts) were to the last of my knowledge in Anglican churches.
Thank you again for your time.
Here are my follow up answers. I appreciate your comments and the corrections you made. I also made a couple very minor grammatical corrections I found and I added a sentence or two in a couple spots just for clarity, mostly in the Book of Waiting question.
My definition of Fundamentalist is any sect or belief system that takes the bible as the inerrant infallible word of god. So while Calvary might not be fundamentalist to some of the groups you mention, it does fit this definition at least, and I’m not sure my definition is the best one.
I like your Taylor trio comments too. Let me know if I can get you some of our songs you like but don’t have. I can burn you some. So all the stuff below includes my revisions so you might want to replace the earlier stuff with this stuff. Again, let me know if you have any questions. I’m grateful for the opportunity because interviews always present that to me, a way to examine my own thoughts and beliefs and to try to articulate them clearly. So thank you for that. Good luck!

The New Orleans Saints have signed eight players to their practice squad, retaining quality young players who could help the team if needed this year. As a fan of the Saints, a team that relies so much on its offense, I was excited to see wide receiver Andy Tanner and tight end Michael Higgins on the practice squad list. If injuries should occur at these positions, I am confident that Tanner and Higgins could be productive players based on their past performances.
Tanner was having an excellent preseason before suffering an unfortunate ankle injury. In the Saints' first three games, he caught eight passes for 120 yards. He looked great running his routes and showed confidence in the middle of the field. While other receivers seemed to struggle, Tanner was a solid target.
The wide receiver position may need some help at some point this year, following a preseason filled with injuries. Rookie Nick Toon finally took the field in the team's last game, before being placed on the injured reserve list. Meanwhile, Adrian Arrington was sidelined for all five contests, but he is listed on the team's final roster. Joe Morgan was a bright spot with 15 catches, 182 yards and two touchdowns, but he did have some drops early. Considering these issues, Tanner could have the opportunity to work his way onto the active roster this year.
Higgins, on the other hand, gained valuable experience last season. He played in two games during the regular season and then played both playoff games, catching a 10-yard pass against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Saints have one the league's best tight ends in Jimmy Graham, but the team has used multiple tight ends effectively. Quarterback Drew Brees utilizes multiple weapons, and Higgins' hands can help. This preseason he totaled 14 receptions and 139 yards.
The Saints kept five running backs on the final roster and are likely set for the year there. But with wide receiver and tight end being key positions for the team, it is good to have Tanner and Higgins adding depth to the practice squad.
Mike Patton is a sports fan who grew up in New Orleans cheering for the New Orleans Saints, Chicago Cubs, and LSU Tigers. As a kid in 1987, he made his first trip to Wrigley Field and also slept outside of the Louisiana Superdome to purchase playoff tickets for the Saints' first postseason appearance.

Wonderfully disguised as a treat, these vegan and gluten-free orange and walnut cookies are packed with goodness and taste zesty and rich. The perfect snacks with hidden nutrients.
I'm constantly on the search for vegan and gluten-free cookie recipes. It's easy to find either vegan or gluten-free but quite hard to find both. These zesty orange and walnut cookies are my solution to that problem. They hit that sweet spot of being satisfying, tasty and also, dare I say it, a little bit healthy. So they're my favourite kind of response to that question that gets asked a zillion times a day by my kids… “Mummy, can I have a snack?”
I get sweet satisfaction knowing that I have something that looks and sounds like a treat (“Who wants a cookie?”) but actually sneaks in some good stuff as well. Although, of course, there is sugar in these cookies, they are also packed with goodness, from the iron in the blackstrap molasses, vitamin C in the orange juice, good fats in the walnuts and fibre in the oats and buckwheat flour. They are also gluten free and vegan so everyone can indulge in them! They are also dangerously good with my mid-morning cup of coffee!
- ground flax seeds - when mixed with water, these perform the job of an egg brilliantly!
- orange and orange marmalade - for that lovely zesty orange flavour.
- coconut oil - you could also use softened vegan butter, if you prefer.
- sugars - caster sugar for crisp lightness and blackstrap molasses for depth of flavour and a boost of iron (which is more readily absorbed by the body due to the vitamin C in the orange).
- flours - buckwheat flour and oats (or you could substitute with plain gluten-free flour).
- walnuts - these provide wonderful omega 3 fatty acids that are often lacking in a vegan diet.
- baking ingredients - fine salt (I use Himalayan Pink Salt), baking powder (make sure that it is gluten-free), cinnamon and nutmeg.
Please see the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities of ingredients.
- Mix the juice from half of the orange with the flax seeds and leave to stand for a few minutes.
- Mix together the flours, baking ingredients and chopped walnuts.
- In a stand mixer, beat together the oil, sugars, orange zest, marmalade and flax mixture.
- Add the flour mixture and beat very briefly to combine.
- Dollop spoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 180•C.
- Leave to cool.
Please see the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for full instructions.
If you are dealing with nut allergies or sending these cookies in lunch boxes, just leave out the walnuts. Sometimes I replace the walnuts with dried cranberries instead to give little bursts of tangy sweetness that complement the orange perfectly.
These cookies will keep in a sealed container for a few days - if you can stop yourself eating them in that time!
📖 Recipe 📖
Zesty Orange and Walnut Cookies
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 orange
- 70 g coconut oil
- 70 g caster sugar or soft light brown sugar
- 30 g blackstrap molasses (or substitute with more soft light brown sugar if you don't have blackstrap molasses)
- 2 tablespoon orange marmalade
- 100 g buckwheat flour
- 75 g oats
- 40 g walnuts chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- small grating of nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Zest the orange, then juice half of the orange (about 40ml) and mix the juice with the flax seeds. Leave the flax seed and orange juice mixture to sit for 5 minutes while you set up.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
- Weigh out the buckwheat flour, oats, spices, salt and baking powder into a bowl and set aside. Chop the walnuts and add to the flour bowl.
- Weigh out the coconut oil, sugar, blackstrap molasses, orange zest and marmalade into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flax seed orange juice mixture and beat on high speed (start slowly then move up to high) for 2 minutes until the mixture is dark and thick.
- Then add the already weighed dry ingredients and beat on a medium speed for 30 seconds or so, just until everything is mixed in well. Add the chopped walnuts and stir in by hand.
- Dollop tablespoonfuls of mixture on the lined baking tray about 3 cm apart. Don’t worry too much about shaping them as they will melt and flatten a bit in the oven.
- Put the cookies in the oven for 20 minutes at 180°C.
- Once ready, remove from the oven and leave on the tray for a couple of minutes then carefully move them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Don’t be tempted to eat them until fully cooled as they crisp up when cool).
- In a thermomix, this is a very easy recipe! The mixing part of the recipe is as follows:
- Chop the walnuts by placing in the Thermomix bowl and setting to 3 seconds / speed 4. Remove and set aside.
- Put the coconut oil and sugar, blackstrap molasses, orange zest and marmalade in the Thermomix bowl. Add the flax seed orange juice mixture and set to 30 seconds / speed 4.
- Then add the rest of the ingredients and set to 20 seconds / REVERSE speed 2 (stirring with the spatula whilst mixing).
- For school lunchboxes or nut allergy sufferers, just leave out the nuts. You could add dried cranberries instead or, for a child crowd pleaser, add chocolate chips for a chocolate orange flavour!

Developed by Rice University scientists, a new type of nano-infused paint can indicate where a building, airplane, or bridge is strained, detecting damage before it can be plainly observed. Named "strain paint," this paint is made with carbon nanotubes and glows under near-infrared light.
The strain can be read by a handheld infrared spectrometer in a way that displays a map of all strained areas, rather than simply that which exists in a specific location. Strain can be detected from a distance, meaning that an inspector could be standing on the ground and examining an airplane wing. According to the researchers, this method "provides a big advantage over conventional strain gauges, which must be physically connected to their read-out devices."

“I did not start this war. I offered you peace, I showed you mercy, but now you’re here to finish us off for good.”
So says Caesar (Andy Serkis) in the fascinating first trailer for War For The Planet Of The Apes, the third movie in the rebooted franchise to cap off what has been a great week for film trailers.
In truth, it’s not quite a planet of apes just yet, what with there still being a significant human resistance in the way, including among their number the sadistic-looking Colonel (Woody Harrelson channelling his inner Kurtz). To get up to this point, there clearly has to be a substantial number of ape-on-human punch-ups to be had – which judging by this trailer, seems to be provided in abundance. Welcome to the jungle indeed.
Anyway, you can read the official synopsis and watch the first trailer for War For The Planet Of The Apes below:
WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES stars Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn and Toby Kebbell and is directed by Matt Reeves.
In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
War For The Planet Of The Apes will be released in UK cinemas in July 2017. For all the latest movie news, pick up the new issue of SciFiNow.

Former government officials and experts stressed the need for protecting the privacy and civil liberties of U.S....
citizens despite the growing need of the federal government to help thwart attacks against the networks of privately owned critical infrastructure.
The federal government can play a role in protecting private networks from cyberattacks, but in a way that doesn't trample on civil liberties, say two of three expert panelists at the 2010 RSA Conference. The panelists discussed whether the government should require the top Internet service providers to conduct deep packet inspection, a controversial process because it would require ISPs to scan network traffic of its customers to detect malware.
"We can tell ISPs by regulation that you have to do deep packet inspection," said Richard Clarke, a former White House security advisor. "A lot of the problems would be solved if the Tier-1 ISPs were required to do deep packet inspection."
Meanwhile, Michael Chertoff, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security said he would also support deep packet inspection of private networks, but only if it is done appropriately with safeguards in place to wall off government screening of emails or VoIP communications. Chertoff said he doesn't see a way policy can be created to avoid liability issues.
"We don't want the government sitting and operating opening and closing doors," Chertoff said. "The key is to build system that ... preserves a certain gate between [the government] and also provides a certain amount of accountability."
Urging the most caution about government involvement in protecting private networks was Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), who said telecommunications companies have had the right for years to listen in on phone calls to assure quality, but crossing the line into monitoring data streams could pose new problems.
"There's a sharp boundary between service delivery and content filtering," he said. "Deep packet inspection opens the door to a lot of commercial opportunities."
The NSA has used deep packet inspection technology to bolster its Internet surveillance and analysis. All three of the panelists said the security agency should have no role in monitoring U.S.-based networks, despite its role in heading the newly formed U.S. Cyber Command.
"The Cyber Command is NSA and unfortunately it's the only capable organization to deal with cybersecurity," Clarke said. "[NSA] is the right organization to defend the military and wrong one to defend the private sector." Homeland Security Secretary says privacy is important
In a keynote address shortly after the privacy panel, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also trumpeted the need for privacy as the government works diligently to protect its networks from attack and ensure security improvements at critical infrastructure facilities. The agency established an oversight and compliance officer to work with the U.S. computer emergency readiness team (US-CERT) personnel on the protection of privacy and other civil liberties. While the agency acts to ensure the security of the country's aviation systems and the protection of its ports from terrorism attacks, protection of critical systems is also part of its core principles, she said.
"We are working with our private sector partners in the financial services arena about what needs to be done and can be done to strengthen security there," she said.
The agency has completed its deployment of Einstein 2 for its managed protocol service providers and will be implementing Einstein 3, a fully automated intrusion prevention system that can detect and disable malware, she said.

Grow your brand: from source to communications
17 Jun 2006|Added Value
Published in Admap Magazine, June 2006
First, it is important to distinguish between short-term sales uplift and long-lasting brand growth – genuine brand growth will usually involve some development in key brand metrics (for example, a change or strengthening in perceived brand image or personality) rather than a short-term sales response that will be very useful, but will not usually have a long-term effect on the brand. Serious brand growth demands rigorous research, detailed planning and a relentless focus of activity. Basically, there are three main stages to this.
Stage one: brand growth – the source
Just doing more of the same activities as the brand has done in the past is unlikely to deliver a noticeable level of growth, and could well cost the brand more than it needs to spend. Deciding on the source of sustainable growth for the brand is a critical decision, requiring imaginative thinking and a thorough examination of all available brand metrics. The key decision is whether the majority of growth will come from:
- new buyers who have not used the brand in the past, or
- existing buyers using more frequently or in greater quantities (usually the first choice option, as it is much less costly to develop an existing customer) (see Figure 1).
The main metric for this decision is usually the brand’s incidence or penetration – the proportion of the population who currently consume the product. Deciding whether the brand’s incidence has room for growth, or is already at saturation, will relate to levels of the population who have a theoretical need for the brand and the incidence that has been achieved by relevant competitive brands. If incidence is already at or near saturation – everyone who would be likely to consume the brand is already consuming it – then growth would have to come from encouraging more frequent consumption, or in the case of a durable, a shorter replacement cycle.
In reality, growth may come from a combination of increased quantities and increased frequency; however, focus on one area or the other is more likely to achieve success.
Stage two: brand growth – The strategy
The key components for the brand growth strategy will come from defining three key questions:
- who is the target market that will consume more of the brand?
- in what way will these people consume more?
- does the brand need short or long-term growth?
Who has the motive and the opportunity to commit the deed? In your search for defining what will trigger growth, as for a detective starting a murder enquiry, rule number one is to rule nothing out.
Make a rigorous search of all brand data and research available, looking for any clues that could indicate a path to increased consumption. This could come from a variety of sources:
- brand tracking will show which brand image attributes coincided with growth (or were barriers to growth) in any of the brands tracked
- previous new product development projects may have highlighted possible routes to brand growth via new launches/brand extensions
- a brand usage and attitude study should list all the brand touch points and occasions where the brand is consumed (or its service points) – which are the biggest and/or in growth? This study should also show what other products the consumer is using to fulfil the need your brand answers – maybe your brand could seek to replace them?
- market mapping will indicate which consumer segments have unmet needs or would be most likely to appreciate the benefits your brand has to offer
- trend studies will indicate underlying consumer behaviours at a macro level that could be exploited by the brand
- how does the user profile of your brand compare to those of the competition?
Which demographic groups are consuming the most or more frequently? This wide-ranging review could well yield numerous ideas for ways to achieve brand growth; in addition, carry out a brainstorming workshop to explore every way consumers use or access your brand.
Fmcg confectionery brands have increased their usage occasions by launching packaging that can easily be operated with one hand – for example TicTac packs. This puts them into all usage occasions where consumers have only one hand available for eating – maybe they’re out shopping, carrying a bag. Other confectionery brands have moved to bigger bags in grocery to grow the brand by increasing their share of inhome consumption – opening the brand to more usage occasions and potentially new users.
For a service brand, equivalent examples could be going online (like Direct Line insurance), or changing access hours (as pubs have done), or changing what’s on offer – maybe a stripped-down economy version (such as low-cost airline BMI Baby) would appeal to a new audience.
In the durable area, a brand growth strategy to position a car for a different age group is often communicated by featuring the new age group in the advertising and tapping into the target group’s iconography. To appeal to an older age group, Ford in the US digitally inserted modern cars into vintage film milieux alongside ‘grey icons’ Steve McQueen and Dennis Hopper.
The shortlist of potential brand growth strategies could include:
- advertising or promotion designed to increase a brand’s image rating in the specific area that the brand tracking has shown to be correlated with brand growth
- new packaging to prompt new usage occasions and attract new users
- focusing on a specific target audience – either a part of the existing audience that shows signs of growth or a new group outside the existing target
- focus on a new sales channel reaching new consumers
- shortening the durable purchase cycle by launching a special edition linked to a time-bound event
- introducing new brand extensions that grow the brand footprint.
The brand growth strategy shortlist will then need to be evaluated: the evaluation process would have to consider the effect on existing brand consumption, as well as feasibility, cost, the projected level of growth that could be achieved, whether there is any real evidence of the strategy’s likelihood of success and whether the strategy will deliver genuine brand growth, as opposed to short-term sales without long-term effect. In making this assessment, previous growth achieved by the brand and growth achieved by competitive brands in the same sector will be the most useful benchmarks.
Clearly, it would normally be very optimistic to project a level of growth for the brand that no other brand in the sector has ever achieved. Once you’ve decided on a brand growth strategy, constructing a simple marketing model of how the strategy is meant to work will enable you to relate the strategy to target growth levels.
For example, if the source of brand growth is defined as existing consumers using the brand more frequently, apply the expected increased consumption to the anticipated proportion of existing consumers who will respond to the brand’s suggestion to use the brand more frequently. The more consumers respond, the less extra each one will have to consume to achieve the same level of growth. This is where the dimension of communication to achieve brand growth comes in – maximising the level of consumers who will respond to the brand’s suggestion will depend on the reach and efficiency of the brand’s communication behind the brand growth strategy.
Stage three: communication
Communication for brand growth should follow logically from the definition of the brand growth source and the brand growth strategy. As with the brand strategy itself, more of the same is unlikely to be as successful as using the brand growth initiative to signal change, perhaps by using different media more appropriate to the brand growth strategy. Even if the main medium remains the same, secondary media can be varied, to communicate clearly that the brand is on the move. New media will not only signal a new message, but the media often offer increased discounts to new brands using the medium as a test. If the brand growth strategy is taking the brand into new waters, you may need to front-load the investment pattern in order to clearly communicate your new approach and avoid simply re-triggering the previous brand communication messages.
Most brand communication has important medium-to-long-term effects, so it would be logical to offset any increase in communications budget over at least the next three years. To maximise effectiveness, the communications message should be built exclusively around the brand growth strategy – if it’s all about increasing the brand’s safety image rating (safety being defined by your brand tracking research as the brand image attribute that will make the brand more appealing to new users, for example), then the communications should clearly focus on safety in the message.
Breaking out of the category’s communication stereotypes will also help the brand to signal that it is saying something new and different, seeking consumer re-appraisal. Dove’s successful skin-firming campaign used real women with real body shapes, which stood out from the competition and achieved unprecedented levels of free PR for the brand. The full power of an integrated 360- degree communications plan will help to maximise the efficiency needed to deliver the brand growth strategy – stretching from packaging to post-sales communication – every means to communicate the brand growth strategy should be taken. To miss out the follow through is a lost growth opportunity – the successful use of in-store recipe leaflets to support the Sainsbury’s Jamie Oliver ads is a simple example of how to consolidate brand growth communication via a 360-degree approach. Communication for brand growth also has an internal dimension – the brand growth strategy will no doubt be very demanding on the sales and marketing teams – the brand should be communicating the success of the brand growth strategy to all concerned, sharing success stories and creating that important motivation that will drive further brand growth.

The deafening roar continued to ring all over the forest, an unnerving event. Then the tiger emerged - of charismatic dimension. This mesmerizing spectacle unfolds only at Kanha - Land of The Tiger.History
The odyssey begins with the declaration of Halon and Banzar Valleys as sanctuaries in the British Era. The pristine forests where preserved from being ravaged by advancing humanity. However substantial population remained at Kanha before it was declared as a National Park. The conservation efforts brought about a dramatic change and the wilderness made a comeback. The Project Tiger was a much needed boost and the tiger number has crossed over a hundred in the span of few decades.
The most reliable natural history notes are found in Capt. Forsyth's "The Highlands of Central India". This is a series of personal memoirs of this region as whole explained in vivid details by the passionate explorer.
Major research by Dr. George Schaller et.al brought back the hard ground swamp deer (Barasingha) from certain extinction. His findings are published in the book "The Deer & The Tiger" 1967.Land of Baigas & Gonds
The Baiga and Gond tribal communities are the oldest inhabitants of India. The Gond dynasty ruled Central India since centuries, much before written history. In essence the tribal were the guardians of the Kanha Forests and shaped its destiny in time to come. The Baigas are mystics with bizarre customs and as forest dwellers are found in Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.
In the earthen hamlets the colorful culture still prevails - the rites & rituals, myths and mystery. Leading a simple life they have very few necessities.
With the shrinking of habitat these communities were resettled to the periphery. This was an act of conservation which brought reprieve to animals. The evacuation took place from Sonf Meadow, Bishanpura, Ghorela which were the lost grounds of the hard ground swamp deer.Topography
The land is composed of plains containing grasslands and forests. The rivers drain the valleys besides the table top mountains offer altitudinal variation. The height of mountains ranges from 600 MSL to 900 MSL at Bamni Dadar. The unique features are the edaphic grasslands that where once tribal settlements.
The grassland ecosystems support wide variety of microorganism, other vegetative matter, deer and birds. The grasslands are the lifeline of Hard Ground Swamp Deer in Kanha. Its major part of diet consists of some selected species of grasses that grow around water bodies and the grasslands.Kanha Flora
The grassland ecosystems are extensive at places like Kanha and Sonf. These are edaphic in nature created by slash and burn practice adopted by the tribal. The present day reserve is a small part of a very large ecosystem which existed before denudation by man. The species of grasses found here are: Themeda Spp, Chrsopogan fulus, Imperata Cylindrica, Hetropogion Contortus, Dimeria Ornithpoda, Iseilema Laxum, Oschemum Indicum, Sachrum Spontanium, Cyperus pilosus, Sachrum munja and Bothriocloa odrata.
The mixed forest canopy comprises of Sal, Saaj, Lyndia, Tendu, Dhawa, Tendu, Tinsa, Haldu, Char, Harra, Bahera, Salai, Semul, Arjun, Palas, Kosum, Jamun, Aonla, Kurlu, Bija, Mahua, Thwar, Baniyan, Pipal, Neem, Lasoda, Ghont, Maniphal, Bel, Rasoda, Kunhi, Morchalli, Pakur and Ber. In the middle slopes pure thickets of Bamboo can be found. The ecosystem is interspersed with mixed forests, pure Sal, pure Bamboo, mixed forests with Bamboo, grasslands and water bodies. The high humidity levels give rise to many rare plants like the Drosera and aquatic plants upon which the swamp deer feed.Kanha Fauna & Avifauna
There are 43 species of mammals found at Kanha. Tiger is the indicator species and a tertiary carnivore. The forests abound in leopards, wild dog, jackal besides herbivores like gaur, barasingha, sambar, chital, barking deer, wild boar and Nilgai. Animals like Hyena and Wolf have become rare. Sloth bears are present in good numbers but sighting is difficult. Recently a pair of mouse deer was photographed in Kanha. There is also news about Hispid Hare inhabiting Kanha National Park.
There are twenty six species of reptiles found in the park of which four are poisonous. There are the Russel's Viper, Common Cobra. Krait and Saw Scaled Viper. Other snakes found are rat snake, python, chequered keelback, egg eating snake, grass snake, bronze tree snake and wolf snake. Among the lizards monitor lizard is the largest and also found are fan throated lizard, flying lizard and forest calotes.
More than two hundred birds are found at Kanha of which the notable ones are the Malabar Pied Hornbill, Changeable Hawk Eagle, Grey Headed Fish Eagle, Pallas fish Eagle, Indian Pitta, Painted Francolin, Mottled Wood Owl, Indian Scimitar Babbler, Racket Tailed Drongo, White Rumped Shama, Golden Oriole, Alexandrine Parakeet, Iora and many more.Kanha Forests Rivers
Situated in Satpura Range, the Maikal Hills cradle Kanha Tiger Reserve in the State of Madhya Pradesh in India. The region constitutes two river valley systems of Halon and Banzar which are tributaries of Narmada River. Amongst the two Halon is perennial but Banzar retains poodles of water during the summers. Tributaries of these rivers are the Surpan and Sulkum besides many smaller rivulets and water bodies are the source of water for the park.
The rivers are rich source of microorganism plant matters that are the producers. These diminutive creatures exhibit the finest example of solar energy utilization. This process is primary to sustenance of life and the preservation of food chain. A large species of fish and other aquatic creatures inhabit these river systems. Along with aquatic vegetation these systems support mammalian life like the deer.Kanha Sheer Magic
The National Park offers a wonderful holiday to nature lovers. The thrills arise from jungle adventure and rare sights. But Kanha is a space that carries a feel which you will understand as a nature lover. The fun is just being there and the Courtyard House does the rest.Fact File
Distance From Jabalpur: 165 km.Travel:
Kanha National Park and Tiger Reserve is situated in the State of Madhya Pradesh in India. The park is closest to Jabalpur, Raipur and Gondia. The best route is however Jabalpur which is connected by air with Mumbai and New Delhi. Jabalpur is connected by rail with New Delhi & Mumbai by overnight trains.Accommodation

‘Peabody’ not best use of time
|“Mr. Peabody & Sherman” is now playing in movie theaters.|
|Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Animation LLC|
That’s not to say the movie, as it is, entirely works, either. It has some cute moments, but a lot of its humor falls flat and its ending is a mess. Let’s just say the puzzle that is a full-length movie about a time-traveling dog and his adopted boy is still waiting to be solved.
The original Mr. Peabody cartoons, which first appeared in 1959, weren’t asked to carry a half-hour show, let alone a movie. The “Peabody’s Improbable History” episodes were short adventures that were part of “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show,” and the plots didn’t deviate: Mr. Peabody, a brilliant and erudite pooch, would take his human son Sherman on a trip back in time via his WABAC machine. They would meet a clueless historical figure caught in a terrible bind. Peabody would save the day, close the episode with a pun and, after the cereal ads, it would be time for Bullwinkle’s Poetry Corner. Except for the atypical first episode, the cartoons were free of hugging, reflection and emotional breakthroughs. It was silly humor done in a very smart way.
The movie, directed by Rob Minkoff, begins much like that first Peabody episode, with the learned dog (voiced by Ty Burrell) introducing himself and then going on a WABAC trip with his human son, Sherman (Max Charles). This time, they visit a pastry-loving Marie Antoinette (Lauri Fraser), and, not surprisingly, trouble follows. Like other action sequences in the movie, it zooms along at a lively pace with the standard close calls and chases, but — at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man — it didn’t feel like the Mr. Peabody cartoons I know and love. Whether it was because the comedic timing was a bit off or the dialogue lacked the wit of the original, it felt like a pale copy.
Maybe this doesn’t matter to the movie’s target audience. At the Saturday matinee I attended, the youngsters giggled at the film’s “naughty” humor, such as when Sherman made note of Peabody saying “booby trap.” The little ones’ reaction to Penny (Ariel Winter), Sherman’s adventurous if initially callous schoolmate, is unknown, but perhaps it registered with them that Penny, like, Sherman, is no dummy. The movie deserves credit for making the main characters smart but flawed. Due to their particular idiosyncrasies, the relationship between dog and boy undergoes strains, and it’s not just because Sherman doesn’t get his father’s puns.
The movie is not as consistently funny as the recent “LEGO Movie,” though a few scenes, such as a jaunt to ancient Egypt, are clever and amusing. Neither of those adjectives describe the movie’s conclusion, which throws together a little bit of “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” a dash of “Doctor Who” and a whole lot of “let’s move at a breakneck speed and leave all logic and clarity behind.”
In my day, Mr. Peabody spent as much time worrying about his parenting skills as the Tasmanian Devil did about his anger issues. But 2014 is a different time and big-budget CGI movies are different animals, with emotional arcs and heart-tugging moments. Characters can’t just love to learn; they also have to learn to love.
The movie, currently in theaters, is rated PG for some mild action and brief rude humor.

Renaldo to the rescue!
On The Mysteries of Laura Season 2 Episode 7, Laura and the team are surprised when an investigation into a murder leads them to a maternity tourism case. I admit I was nervous when I heard they were tackling a smuggling ring, but was pleased when they threw in the twist of investigating women from foreign countries coming to the states to give birth.
Let's not waste anymore time and discuss, "The Mystery of the Maternal Instinct."
Who else is loving how Renaldo has become a constant fixture? I've enjoyed watching his character grow and become part of the team even more. Renaldo adds a nice amount of intelligence and comedy to the show, but tonight proved how amazing he truly is when he jumped into action to save the life of a baby. Plus it gave us the smallest of breaks from the Jake and Laura saga.
Speaking of Jake and Laura, I am not sure how Laura can still carry on a relationship with Tony while also agreeing to go on a date with Jake. It almost seems as though Laura is, intentionally or not, stringing Tony along while she waits for Jake to get better. It's becoming clear something is going to happen to put Jake and Laura back together.
It really wouldn't be a terrible thing if they did start dating, and eventually even got married, because they seem to have a better understanding of each other, but I just don't want to see Tony get hurt. Tony has been there for Laura through some tough times and he has stood by her while she took care of Jake after his accident without getting even a little bit jealous. He really is a great guy who fell for a woman who, unfortunately, has a lot of baggage which is no fault to either him or Laura.
Touching on the crime of the week, I have to say I loved how Captain Santiani got right to the point in getting the information they needed from the nurse. I've officially warmed up to her character, and I am slowly understanding the methods she employs. Though she could have at least given Max some credit for providing useful information, but I admit I am biased when it comes to my love of Max.
In the end, Laura and Jake had some family time with the boys over dinner and it made it even more obvious they are planning on putting them back together especially when he proved he met Laura's terms. Jake does get credit for listening to Laura and getting a second opinion about his condition, but I still see something happening down the line when it comes to his heath.
Do you think Jake and Laura will get together soon? Do you think Tony will understand Laura's reasoning for getting back together with Jake?

I’m thrilled to announce that Creative Scotland have generously awarded funds towards my epic tiger tracking expedition taking place this winter. This trip is research for my second novel TIGER. Not a natural traveller, I am getting both apprehensive and excited as the moment approaches to don my super insulated costume and head for Siberia. There will be snowshoes. There will be temperatures of -30C. There will be frozen contact lenses and icicles of author tears. But who cares about that because there will be photos. Possibly even of these beautiful creatures, in the wild. I can’t wait!

If you find yourself needing to manipulate node fields during hook_node_insert or hook_node_update, the best way is to use field_attach_update. Especially, if you need access the node id.
I needed to display a block based on a few conditions: Display on the node page for a particular content type. Only show up if that node had a particular taxonomy term assigned. Drupal let's you control the visibility settings for blocks, but the options are limited to Pages, Content types, Roles, and Users. Content types would allow me to let the block appear for my content type, but not based on it's taxonomy terms.

With any new Android device – smartphones and tablets alike – the first thing that people are on a lookout for is ways to customize it even deeper. Now, in the world of Google’s open source operating system, root access is usually the first base that you have to cover to reach somewhere on that front, and that’s exactly what we’re going to teach you to do in this post for the new Nexus 7, also labeled Nexus 7 2013.
In order to root the new Nexus 7 tablet, the procedure can be divided into three major areas, although with great simplicity attached. For the first step, you have to unlock your device’s bootloader, followed by installing a custom recovery in the second step (TWRP in this case). The final step involves pushing the actual superuser binaries to the system to get rooted.
Before we begin, please note that while this method is safe and tested, you follow these instructions at your own risk. We cannot be held liable for any damage to your device as a result of following these instructions.
- Fastboot (download from here)
- TWRP recovery image (WiFi or LTE, depending on your tablet’s version)
- SuperSU binaries from: download.chainfire.eu/supersu
- ADB installed and configured on your Windows PC. Follow our guide on how to set up Android ADB and fastboot on Windows for instructions.
- Android USB driver for Nexus 7 installed on you computer.
- Backup your data. Follow our: How to completely backup your Android device on PC without root access guide to make a full backup.
Unlocking Nexus 7 2013 Bootloader:
Step 1: Extract the fastboot file and place it in the same location where ADB is installed.
Step 2: Turn on USB Debugging on your Nexus 7 and connect it to the PC using USB cable.
Step 3: Open a command prompt where you had placed the fastboot file, and run the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
Step 4: Once the device has rebooted into bootloader mode, run this command in command prompt:
fastboot oem unlock
Step 5: Follow the on-screen instructions, and once those are complete, reboot the device. The bootloader is unlocked.
Install TWRP Recovery on Nexus 7 2013:
Step 1: Extract the appropriate recovery.img file for your device to the same location where you placed fastboot, and launch a command prompt window again.
Step 2: Ensure that USB Debugging is enabled, and that your new Nexus 7 is connected to the PC via USB cable.
Step 3: Launch a command prompt window at the same location where you have placed recovery.img, and reboot into bootloader mode using:
adb reboot bootloader
Step 4: Now run the following command, replacing recovery.img with the actual name of the recovery file:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 5: Once flashing is complete, reboot Nexus 7 again.
Rooting Nexus 7 2013:
Step 1: Place the SuperSU ZIP file at the root of your device’s internal memory/SD card, and reboot it into recovery using the volume down + power button combo.
Step 2: Hit Install and navigate to where you placed the SuperSU binary.
Step 3: Flash the ZIP file, which should take merely a few seconds.
Step 4: Post flashing, reboot the device.
That’s it – you’ve successfully unlocked the bootloader and gained root access on your new Nexus 7 2013 running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Enjoy!

Does petechiae always mean leukemia?
Small round spots that appear on the skin caused by bleeding, petechiae (pronounced puh·tee·kee·uh) may be a symptom of leukemia.
The spots, which you might not notice because of their small size, painlessness, and placement in the lower extremities, indicate a low platelet count..
What autoimmune diseases cause petechiae?
Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, Sjögren syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis often involve cutaneous manifestations of purpuric and petechial rash.
What are the small red dots on my skin?
Petechiae, or blood spots, are round, red spots that occur as a result of tiny blood vessels called capillaries bursting under the skin. They are flat to the touch and can sometimes look like a rash. They are caused by a variety of reasons, such as injuries, straining, and sunburns.
What does petechiae look like in leukemia?
As a result, there may not be enough platelets to block any burst capillaries, and blood can leak out into the skin. This leakage can cause tiny red, purple, or brown spots called petechiae to emerge on the skin. Small collections of these petechiae can form, giving the appearance of a rash.
What is the main cause of petechiae?
Petechiae are formed when tiny blood vessels called capillaries break open. When these blood vessels break, blood leaks into your skin. Infections and reactions to medications are two common causes of petechiae.
What is petechiae a symptom of?
Tiny blood vessels (capillaries) link the smallest parts of your arteries to the smallest parts of your veins. Petechiae appear when capillaries bleed, leaking blood into the skin. A number of things can cause this bleeding, including: Prolonged straining.
What do Leukemia red spots look like?
During the progression of leukemia, white blood cells (neoplastic leukocytes) found in bone marrow may begin to filter into the layers of the skin, resulting in lesions. “It looks like red-brown to purple firm bumps or nodules and represents the leukemia cells depositing in the skin,” Forrestel says.
What does a petechial rash look like?
Petechiae are pinpoint, round spots that appear on the skin as a result of bleeding. The bleeding causes the petechiae to appear red, brown or purple. Petechiae (puh-TEE-kee-ee) commonly appear in clusters and may look like a rash. Usually flat to the touch, petechiae don’t lose color when you press on them.
What’s the difference between purpura and petechiae?
Petechiae are small (1–3 mm), red, nonblanching macular lesions caused by intradermal capillary bleeding (Figure 181-1). Purpura are larger, typically raised lesions resulting from bleeding within the skin (Figures 181-2 and 181-3).
When should I be concerned about petechiae?
If you have petechiae, you should contact your doctor right away or seek immediate medical care if: you also have a fever. you have other worsening symptoms. you notice the spots are spreading or getting bigger.
Can low iron cause petechiae?
You may bleed easily and often when you go to the bathroom with a bowel movement. His may be a sign of a blood clotting disorder, or low blood platelets. You may have tiny red dots on your skin, called petechiae (pe-TEEK- ee-ay).
Can a cold virus cause petechiae?
Petechiae show up for many different reasons that include the following. Infections: Viral, bacterial, and fungal infections can all cause petechiae. Those infections can include: Flu.
Can you get petechiae for no reason?
If you have tiny red, purple, or brown spots on your skin, they could be petechiae. They’re not a disease, but a symptom. A number of things can cause them to happen, from a severe coughing fit to an infection. Often, petechiae are nothing to worry about.
Can a fever cause petechiae?
Notes. The majority of children with fever and petechiae do not have a cause identified – they are presumably due to viral infections. At least 90% of children with fever and petechiae will NOT have meningococcal disease.
What causes the petechial rash in meningitis?
As this happens, the bacteria rapidly multiply and produce toxins which travel around the body causing damage to blood vessels and organs. As the blood vessels get damaged, blood starts to ‘leak’ into the surrounding tissue, often causing what looks like a ‘rash’ to appear on the skin.

ClickFunnels vs. Everybody Else.
Lots of people ask just how ClickFunnels as compares to various other landing web page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and Infusionsoft.
Essentially it’s not truly a reasonable contrast because each of these tools excels is one location or the other.
The chart over offers an extensive analysis – but I’ll highlight several of the major contrasts listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Prior to ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the large pet.
Leadpages is merely a lead capture software program – nothing even more. You can produce touchdown web pages, lead boxes, gather leads … that’s pretty much it. Additionally, the Leadpages layouts are likewise limited on modification.
ClickFunnels is even more functional – it’s a lot easier to utilize and does so a lot more than create lead capture web pages.
Basically, Leadpages is truly simply a landing page building contractor, while ClickFunnels is focused around developing highly integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a touchdown page or sales page builder. It has several of that performance constructed it, but that’s not exactly what it’s known for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that allows you to manage your whole client data source. ClickFunnels has this ability with Actionetics, but it’s not almost as advanced as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is additionally exceptionally expensive as well as pressures every new customer to pay $2000 for a required kickstart coaching package just to learn how to utilize the complicated system (which is infamously difficult to utilize).
ClickFunnels Associate Program
There are two primary courses individuals go down as ClickFunnels users.
Those that decide to utilize the device for their company – in hopes of someday attain both Comma Club (over $1M in income).
As well as those that have an interest in earning passive income as a ClickFunnels Associate and also winning the Desire Auto Competition (where they pay $500/$1000 in the direction of your dream car if you get to 100/200 active regular monthly signups, specifically).
With a monstrous 40% monthly persisting compensation, ClickFunnels quickly has one of the greatest affiliate programs of any type of platform available.
That’s right – you earn money a recurring 40% payment on every associate signup you make with the ClickFunnels Associate Program. But, exactly what does that really relate to?
The standard plan is a $97/month financial investment as well as the Etison Collection plan is a $297/month financial investment. for that reason you make $38.80 each basic strategy and also $118.80 each Etison Collection plan … each and every month!
On average, every 100 signups will certainly generate $4000/month in associate commissions (basically depending upon the number of Etison Strategy individuals remain in there).
The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is pass on the best platform if you are planning to conveniently construct high transforming sales funnels.
Since it was constructed from the ground up to be the best sales funnel contractor, it vanquishes all the competition in that regard.
On the surface, it may not be the most inexpensive product around – yet if you utilize it to its full capability, your organisation will certainly come to be extra rewarding and you will save cash from not having to use various other tools. Jason Fladlien Top Clickfunnels Affiliate

Central Beneficial Ownership Register Introduced for ICAVs
02 Jul 2020
Under Article 30 of the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive EU/2015/849 ("4MLD"), corporate and other legal entities (including trusts) are required to obtain and hold adequate, accurate and current information on their beneficial ownership and EU member states are obliged to ensure that such beneficial ownership information is held in a central register.
The requirements on maintenance of internal registers for corporate entities have been in place since 2016. Furthermore, under the European Union (Anti-Money Laundering: Beneficial Ownership of Corporate Entities) Regulations 2019, the Companies Registration Office was appointed as the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership of Companies and Industrial and Provident Societies. However, this appointment did not cover ICAVs or unit trusts.
Central Register Requirements
The Financial Vehicles Regulations now close the loop by covering the central register requirements for ICAVs and unit trusts.
Existing ICAVs and unit trusts will be required to report beneficial ownership information to the Central Bank by 25 December 2020 (i.e. within six months of 25 June 2020, being the effective date of the Financial Vehicles Regulations). New ICAVs and unit trusts will be required to report beneficial ownership information to the Central Bank within six months of establishment.
Ownership Threshold for Unit Trusts
The Financial Vehicles Regulations make specific provision for what constitutes a "beneficial owner" of a unit trust and prescribe for a threshold level of ownership.
While this was not provided for in the definition of a beneficial owner in 4MLD, the Financial Vehicles Regulations helpfully recognise that the concept of ownership of a unit trust can be equated with a corporate entity.
How the Maples Group can help
We can assist relevant entities in discharging their obligations under the Financial Vehicles Regulations including advising on appropriate steps to analyse beneficial ownership, guidance on information to be retained in the beneficial ownership register, ongoing obligations and assisting with Central Bank filings.

Prolonged easterly winds have made boat and beach fishing rather difficult to say nothing of my recent nithering Bank Holiday seaside visits. Better weather is forecast with hopefully some of the wet stuff for the rivers and farmers.
Seizing a day when the wind did drop and the sea becalmed however and I embarked on a eventful beach fishing trip south of Hornsea. Boat fishing for such a delicate coward in Easterly winds shouts loudly of swell and sea sickness so I decided to try out my new beach rod. It is a shorter version of my 16ft rods, by a whopping 12ins, but is far lighter and allows me to cast an extra 50 yards.
Full of expectation I drove through the ‘darling buds of May’ lining the route to the coast. The Yorkshire spring had well and truly sprung. There were lots of pretty villages, fresh with green leaves and colourful blossom falling like confetti.
Contrast this idyll with the unfortunate bees depositing their yellow pollen on my windscreen as I propelled one tonne of car through the still air.
On reaching the sun baked cliffs, I stumbled down hard-as-rock winter mud that would have engulfed the unwary angler a few months back. With a lazy buzzard hovering and noisy oyster catchers mocking my clumsy decent, I landed on the sandy beach in a heap, clutching bag, rod and tripod.
The high tide was around midday, there was little or no wind and no sign of weed in the high water debris. Carefully assembling my new rod I baited up with peeler crab and squid. This was launched towards the seaward horizon at 45 degrees and sailed away showing a distant ‘plop’ into the sea. Very pleased with the cast I followed suit with my old 16ft rod and only achieved two-thirds of the distance.
Bites came thick and fast after that. First a lesser spotted dogfish, second a small cod and third another dogfish. The squid was finished so I cast again with my new rod using neat crab.
Another bite and a new species for me, a small but beautifully formed, what I think is a spotted ray (Raja montagui). I took great care unhooking the beast as it had some cruel looking spines down each side of its head as can be seen on the photo.
This was the second spotted ray I had seen during the last month even though they are quite rare on our beaches.
More ‘doggies’ followed, all caught at distance with only an eel-like rockling on the close-in rod. All were returned and alas, I had no fish for tea.
Refusing to be beaten, on the way back I called in at a supermarket for some sardines and two fillets of plaice, all caught sustainably in the North East Atlantic Sea. My fishy meal with locally sourced vegetables was delicious.

This has been coming up a lot lately and it's not quite working like I'd thought...
I work at a video post production place. We'll get a bunch of footage and the editors go to work on it. At the same time, I'm doing sound design and music editing with Live (when I can) and Pro Tools (when I have to)
The workflow is a bit hectic, usually the client's still trying to negotiate licensing for the track they want, sometimes it changes at the last minute. This scenario happens a lot: they'll give me an MP3 of a track they want to use, I'll go nuts re-editing it in Live to fit our video cut and then they'll come back later with an AIF and say yeah, we got the rights to it, now swap this in there. Of course I'd like to start out editing with a lossless file from the beginning, but often they just don't have it. So what I've been doing is dropping the old MP3 and the new AIF into a new project, consolidating the lossless track so it's totally in sync and the exact same length as the MP3 I've been working from, then go to the File Manager for the edit project and drop the new consolidated AIF on the old MP3. Should work, right? But it doesn't, my timing gets all screwed up and the set turns into a mess.
It's a weird request, but has anyone had much experience with good ways of making this work reliably?

Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. (TV: CBS, Radio: 940-AM)
Stadium: Neyland Stadium (102,037)
Kickoff weather: High of 87, low of 66; 20 percent chance of rain
Series: Tennessee leads 15-19-2
Last meeting: Tennessee won 51-33 in Athens in 2006
Odds: Tennessee favored by 2 points
Doubtful: OL Scott Haverkamp; Probable: S Kelin Johnson (concussion, shoulder). Tennessee: Out: TE David Holbert (knee), TE Brad Cottam (hand), CB Marsalous Johnson (knee); Probable: WR Gerald Jones (hamstring).
Georgia is on a roll, coming off its best rushing performance since the 1998 season, and the best news for the Bulldogs is they are going up against another struggling defense. Ole Miss is ranked 108th in the nation in yards allowed and the Volunteers aren't much better at 95th. Tennessee has allowed 188.2 yards per game on the ground so as long as Thomas Brown and Knowshon Moreno hold onto the football, they could have another big day. Don't expect Kregg Lumpkin to break back in the lineup quite yet. The Volunteers have always talked a big game about their running attack, but it's been mostly lip service this year. They throw the ball 57.7 percent of the time and are 11th in the SEC in rushing with 132.2 yards per game. Sophomore LaMarcus Coker was slated for a breakout season, but he hasn't recovered from a preseason suspension and has just 117 yards on 24 carries. Starter Arian Foster is averaging 74.2 yards per game. Foster is a more physical back than Coker, who is the home run threat.
Maybe this will be the game Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford breaks out. The sophomore thrives on big moments, and a nationally televised game in front of more than 100,000 fans in attendance might be just what he needs to concentrate for 60 minutes. Quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo said this week he's still trying to impress on Stafford the importance of consistent footwork and trusting his protection. The Bulldogs' wide receiver are blocking better than they have "in a long time," Richt said. Sean Bailey remains the top threat, but no one scares an opponent and none of them are in the SEC's top 10 in receiving yards per game. Volunteers quarterback Erik Ainge is playing as well as any quarterback in the league other thanKentucky's Andre Woodson. Junior wide receiver Lucas Taylor has stepped in to fill part of the void left by Robert Meachem, Bret Smith and Jayson Swain. He is second in the SEC in receiving, but the problem for the Volunteers is they have yet to scare anybody with a deep threat.
Tennessee has one of its best offensive lines this decade, which will make for an interesting matchup. The strength of Georgia's defense in the first four games of the year had been its line, but it was gashed several times for long runs against Ole Miss. Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt hopes his group doesn't get distracted by the fact that the Volunteers are throwing the ball on almost 60 percent of their offensive plays. "They've always been a team that wants to run the football," Richt said, "but they've got a quarterback who is hot. We just have to make sure that we don't lose sight o the fact that we still have to stop the run first." The Volunteers defense has been porous. They are ranked 95th in the country and have allowed 439 yards per game. In Tennessee's defense, it has played California and Florida, which have two of the nation's best offenses. The best player of the bunch may be a true freshmen who Georgia recruited very hard, safety Eric Berry. Berry, whose father played at Tennessee, will start at safety today. The Vols also are expected to start a true freshman at cornerback in Brent Vinson, so expect Georgia to test him. Tennessee is looking for better production from linebacker Jerod Mayo and safety Jonathan Hefney.
Georgia has owned this area of the game against the Volunteers since Richt arrived six years ago. Even last year, when Tennessee blocked a punt for a touchdown, the Bulldogs won the special teams battle 14-7 thanks to a punt and a kickoff returned for a touchdown. And theremay be opportunities for more returns this year. The Volunteers are ranked 91st in the country in punting and are allowing an SEC-worst 9.6 yards per return. (Only one other team in the SEC allows more than 5 yards per return.) Tennessee's kickoff coverage if 11th in the league. As far as the Volunteers' return game, only the kickoff return team has done much damage this year. Hefney, a usually reliable veteran at that spot, has been erratic this year. The Vols' punt return average of 3.3 yards is 113th in the nation. Where Tennessee remains solid is its kicking game. Punter Britton Colquitt is more than serviceable, and freshman place-kicker Daniel Lincoln hasn't missed yet (eight-for-eight).

It’s impossible to say. This week’s major macroeconomic news in the United States was the release of an outline for the widest sweeping tax reform since the 1980s. While the official release is 9 pages, it amounts to a few bullet points on each page which touch on several significant areas of taxation. The language appears to be purposefully written as loose guidelines intended to give flexibility to lawmakers to work through what will be grueling negotiations on both sides of the aisle.
It is natural to question whether any change is possible since so far the Administration has not been able to work with Congress to pass significant legislation, the recent healthcare reform bill being the most recent. Despite being the product of the “Big Six” comprising of Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, and senior Republicans in the House and Senate, these loose guidelines will face challenges even within the majority party. In particular, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, who is anticipating retirement at the end of this term, has stated that he will not sign anything that adds meaningfully to the deficit. Arizona Senator John McCain, who was the tipping point against healthcare, repeats the demands that it be a bipartisan process with all necessary procedures which, if followed, bogs down the process or if not followed causes him to vote against it. The Republicans hold the majority in the Senate by only two seats, not leaving much room for error.
There are provisions in the guidelines which appear to be red herrings. For example, the repeal of the estate tax. Politically it must be included because it has been on the Republican platform for some time. That said, in the grander scheme it is likely less stimulative to growth to repeal the estate tax versus accelerating depreciation or to drop corporate and individual tax rates. The Big Six might be putting items in the framework intentionally wanting to “give to get.” Speculation is useless until we see some actual drafts stemming from this release which will likely not be until November as budget reconciliation and other administrative items must be attended to. Until then, guessing at the potential economic and financial market impact is impossible to say.
