The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been re-released on the Nintendo Switch, but some aspects have been changed from its N64 days.
Originally released for the N64 console in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time recently came to Nintendo Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack launch, and the new version has some slight tweaks. This Zelda the entrance is known for its captivating history – with Ocarina of time showing the true power of Ganon – and is often considered one of the best Zelda Games. Its translation to the Switch, however, leaves something to be desired.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time changed a lot over the years. The version available to play on Nintendo Switch Online is an emulation of the original game and therefore unconnected to the 2011 3DS remaster. pioneer of the N64 console. He tested the power of the console and pushed it to see how much it could handle. With the increased capabilities of the Switch, it seems logical that the game would translate brilliantly and be even better than the original, but that’s not the case.
Instead, Ocarina of Time’s changes on the Switch include worse graphics than the N64 as well as low input lag. Input lag occurs when players press a button on the controller but the game responds slowly rather than instantly, and it’s no secret that the original N64 suffered from the same issue. Still, the problem is worse on the Switch. twitter user Fluffy shared a video showing the lag difference between the N64 and Switch versions, and it’s noticeable. This can negatively affect boss battles and other crucial moments where players need to act quickly. This further affects the control of his weapons, such as Bombchus or Arrows. Firing these items needs to be precise for optimal results, which this build hampers.
Nintendo Switch’s Ocarina Of Time suffers graphically
Unfortunately, the Switch emulation graphics don’t hold up to the N64. For example, in Ocarina of time On Switch, water looks worse, and the game currently has an issue where fog surrounds the character rather than appearing further away, hampering view and gameplay. The fog is supposed to dissipate around Link as he moves, which this build fails to do. The graphical issues further extend to shadows not appearing where they should be and Link’s reflections missing in some places. This reflection problem notably affects the battle with Dark Link, making it much more difficult. While gamers sometimes want games to be harder, it’s not the increased difficulty they mean. Still, there is a non-graphic note change.
According to YouTuber AnalistaDeBits, many problems with the Nintendo Switch Online emulator stem from the fact that the Nintendo Switch Online emulator is the original Japanese version of Nintendo Switch Online. Ocarina of time. The bugs and glitches of this build have been cleaned up for its western release, and these issues have only gotten worse on the Switch due to the console’s higher processing power. Suddenly, lighting errors are more pronounced as the Switch’s display highlights them more, and the bow, arrow, and slingshot are reversed, meaning players may struggle to use them if they don’t realize it.
Ultimately, most of the changes in the Switch version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are purely aesthetic. These, unfortunately, include some hard-to-watch textures as the Switch version doesn’t touch them at all. If players want to experience a childhood favorite or even play it for the first time, the game is worth it if they can handle choppy water and sticky fog. One of the best parts about this game is that it’s included in a library of games under one subscription, and maybe the 3DS remaster will even make its way into the mix someday. Maybe players will even see features removed from Ocarina of time in BOTW2.

At a recent family fun day held each year in our neighbourhood, we decided we wanted to involve our community in creating an art montage. Visitors to the event was invited to participate by adding their thoughts and ideas to the canvas – a few words, a small drawing, a photograph – something about the event and/or our community.
We provided markers, coloured pencils, paint, sketches that could be coloured in, and other materials and tools to help kick-start ideas.
We had no idea how this project would receive much attention or how many would want to participate. As well we anticipated some would be a bit nervous about contributing, with claims of not having any art talent.
But it became clear that we need not have worried.
Children as young as age 2 added painted handprints. Others showed off their drawing skills and added very creative pictures. Colouring and words came from some of our seniors who are in their 80s. Our local firefighters, paramedics and our local Junior “A” hockey team shared their vision by adding drawings and their logos. And having them around the table attracted even more people who then wanted to participate and add their ideas. Even our local City Councillor coloured a sketch for us.
One benefit that we had not really considered was how enjoyable this exercise would be, to take the time to colour and be creative. For some it had been years since they enjoyed such an activity.
We have some local businesses and service groups ready to show off this community montage. And we hope more will step forward and display it. We did have the foresight to do this montage on rolled canvas, and it will be varnished so that not only can it be hung or put on a table, it can also be placed on a floor and walked on. And storage will be easier when it can be rolled up.
We are now beginning to brainstorm ideas for next year. And you can be sure it will definitely be another community participation project.

ATLANTA (AP) — A new high-dose flu vaccine for seniors works better than the standard shot in that age group, according to a long-awaited study by the vaccine's manufacturer.
Experts say regular flu shots tend to be only about 30 to 40 percent effective in people 65 and older, who generally have weaker immune systems. Sanofi Pasteur's Fluzone High-Dose vaccine boosted that to 50 percent.
"I wouldn't call it great" said Dr. Edward Belongia of the Wisconsin-based Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, a flu vaccine researcher who was not involved in the Sanofi study.
But any improvement is welcome, and the results could mean fewer illnesses — and, hopefully, hospitalizations and deaths — in seniors, he said.
For other ages, effectiveness can run 60 percent or higher for the regular vaccine.
The Food and Drug Administration licensed the higher-dose Sanofi vaccine in late 2009, based on a study that showed it led to higher levels of flu-fighting antibodies in seniors a month after vaccination. The new study is the first to measure how much protection it actually provides against the flu.
The study involved 32,000 seniors in the U.S. and Canada during the last two flu seasons. Half got a regular flu shot and half got the high-dose version. Researchers called the participants to see if they had flu symptoms or were hospitalized; tests to confirm the flu were done in more than half of the people reporting symptoms.
The high-dose shot was 24 percent more effective than the regular shot at preventing flu, against all strains, the company said.
Sanofi has the only high-dose flu shot for seniors on the market. It was used last year in 1 in 5 seniors who got vaccinated, according to Sanofi. The $27 per dose cost is more than twice the $12 for the company's older version. But Medicare pays for both, and Sanofi executives say they don't think cost is a significant deterrent.
Instead, they believe doctors have been holding off until they saw real-world effectiveness studies.
Dr. David Greenberg, a Sanofi vice president, is scheduled to present preliminary study results on Thursday at a meeting of vaccination experts in Atlanta. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices advises federal health officials, who then make vaccination recommendations to doctors.
The government already recommends flu vaccines for everyone, except babies under 6 months. The panel is expected to discuss whether to one day voice a preference for Fluzone High-Dose for seniors.
Among infectious diseases, flu is considered one of the nation's leading killers. On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Nail care is often neglected in lieu of health concerns that may seem more important, but issues with your senior loved one’s nails may be an indicator of underlying health problems. The experienced staff at Home Care Assistance in Bloomfield has put together a list of vitamins your loved one should take regularly, as well as foods these vitamins can be found in.
One of the key nutrients essential for strong, healthy nails is iron. Iron is especially important for those who may have iron-deficiency anemia, which can directly cause thinning hair and brittle nails. To get more iron, beef or chicken liver can be incorporated into your loved one’s diet. For those avoiding red meat, oysters, clams, or mussels can also be suitable alternatives.
Antioxidants have become very popular since their appearance in the 1990s, when scientists began to understand their role in battling free radical damage to the body’s cells. The vitamin E present within antioxidants can keep your loved one’s nails looking shiny and healthy. Try adding blueberries, raspberries, or prunes into his or her diet.
If your loved one isn’t getting enough magnesium, the signs may be showing up as vertical ridges in his or her nails. Magnesium can help avoid deeper problems like heart disease and osteoporosis. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to add magnesium into your loved one’s diet. Have him or her try some dark leafy greens, fish, or nuts and seeds. Almonds in particular are a great source of magnesium.
Zinc deficiency has been connected to nail ridges and poor nail growth and can lead to diabetes or cardiovascular issues, but luckily it is found in many foods. Oysters, lamb, and spinach all have high amounts of zinc and would be great additions to your loved one’s diet.
If your loved one needs help maintaining a balanced diet, he or she may benefit from live-in or part-time care in Bloomfield, MI. The caregivers at Bloomfield Home Care Assistance can help with tasks such as grocery shopping and cooking meals, and provide support during physical exercise. For more information, or to schedule a complimentary in-home consultation, contact one of our friendly Care Managers at 248.283.0835.

Cape St. Vincent in Sagres is a headland in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, in the Algarve, southern Portugal. It is the most southwestern point of Portugal and of mainland Europe.
Cape St. Vincent was already sacred ground in Neolithic times, as standing menhirs in the neighborhood attest. The ancient Greeks called it Ophiussa (Land of Serpents), inhabited by the Oestriminis and dedicated here a temple to Heracles.
The Romans called it Promontorium Sacrum (or Holy Promontory). Strabo, in his Geography call this cape the most western tip of the known world and reports the place was considered magical. Common people believed the sun sank here hissing into the ocean, marking the edge of their world, which Strabo qualifies as "common and vulgar reports" and attributes to Posidonius.
This place is also known as the "End of the World", the most southwestern point in Europe

Public health is an interdisciplinary field. For example, epidemiology, biostatistics and management of health services are all relevant. Other important subfields include environmental health, community health, behavioral health, health economics, public policy, mental health, health education, occupational safety, gender issues in health, and sexual and reproductive health.
Public health aims to improve the quality of life through prevention and treatment of disease, including mental health. This is done through the surveillance of cases and health indicators, and through the promotion of healthy behaviors.
Common public health initiatives include promotion of handwashing and breastfeeding, delivery of vaccinations, suicide prevention, and distribution of condoms to control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Public health surveillance has led to the identification and prioritization of many public health issues facing the world today, including HIV/AIDS, diabetes, waterborne diseases, zoonotic diseases, and antibiotic resistance leading to the re-emergence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.
Many health problems are due to maladaptive personal behaviors. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, over consumption of novel substances that are harmful is due to the activation of an evolved reward system for substances such as drugs, tobacco, alcohol, refined salt, fat, and carbohydrates.
Disability is a global public health problem as people with disability, throughout the life course, face widespread barriers in accessing health and related services, such as rehabilitation, and has worse health outcomes than people without disability. Disability is any continuing condition that restricts everyday activities.
Disability is not just a health problem; it is the interaction between individuals with a health condition and personal and environmental factors (such as negative attitudes, inaccessible transportation and public buildings, and limited social supports). Overcoming the difficulties faced by people with disabilities requires interventions to remove environmental and social barriers.

It's June! Let's celebrate Men's Health month. We've got the scoop on the the latest athlete to release his very own Athletic Wear line. Here's a few hints--he isn't American, his sport can be played indoors or outdoors (though he plays outdoors) and he's known to workout literally 3 hours or more per day. Give up? It's Zlatan Ibrahimović the Swedish soccer player. He's teamed up with Varner Group a Norwegian retailer who is a leader in textile trade.
Ibrahimović believes in comfortable and well cut workout wear that focuses on the "training" market. Tracksuits are part of the package, as Ibrahimović himself is partial to hoodies, shorts and tee-shirts. Expect similar items to his own attire and include underwear in the equation.
Though he has not elaborated on how much he expects to make he did allude to future brand extensions including a Women's collection. Additionally, there will be a roll-out beyond Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Holland, France, the UK, Austria. Spain and Italy.
The 70-sku range for men and children went on sale Tuesday on a dedicated website, delivering to 11 European countries. Retail prices range from 9.95 euros, or $11.30 at current exchange, for socks to 89.95 euros, or $102.10, for a zippered jacket- *excerpt from WWD.com

OK, just a few sports thoughts. I grew up in Florida, but grew up a Braves fan because they were the closest pro baseball team and they were always on TBS. However, I didn't really follow the Hawks. Now that I live in ATL, it's impossible not to follow the Hawks a little since they're on TV and in the papers. I have to say I was quite impressed and enjoyed watching them and they may have gained a new fan. They got really close to pulling off the biggest upset in playoff history. They forced a game seven agains a Celtics team that took 35 games to lose their third game of the season. The Hawks won 3 of 4 to force a game seven. I didn't expect them to win today, and they did get obliterated, but kudos to them for performing so well against a very good, veteran team.
Also of note, the Braves have been a bit injury decimated including Mr Glass, who is injured again while trying to recover from an injury. The guy has surpased Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway for the most injury prone players I've ever seen. Smoltz is out injured even though he was pitching awesome and it looks like he'll come back in the bullpen, which I'm actually quite excited about. Chipper Jones has been unbelievable this year so far. This guy has another couple of seasons like this and I think that he's a sure fire first ballot hall of famer, if he's not already.
I'm playing Fantasy Baseball with some people I used to work with, and I invited Brian Johnson. We're both having awesome weeks this week, but I'm enjoying it more than I ever have with Fantasy Baseball I think because I have someone nearby to talk to about it regularly, same reason I enjoyed fantasy basketball with Grant a few years ago.
One more NBA playoff comment, I was wondering if you might see a Hawks player mysteriously injured, or some questionable calls as David Stern tries to sway the outcome of the playoffs toward a LA-Boston final :-) Just an interesting conspiracy theory.

As Hank Williams, Tom Hiddleston performs his own vocals in "I Saw the Light," the new movie biography of the country music singer and composer whose hits included "Lovesick Blues," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and the retrospectively eerie "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive," released two months before Williams' New Year's Day 1953 death at the age of 29.
No doubt Hiddleston and writer-director Marc Abraham decided that allowing the actor to do his own singing would create an immediacy and "authenticity" that would be lost with lip-syncing. The result, however, is unfortunate. The Hank Williams who appears in "I Saw the Light" does not possess one of the most desperate and haunting voices in the history of recorded sound; he is an adequate singer, at best. Hiddleston's work ethic is admirable (the actor spent weeks working with the film's music producer, country singer Rodney Crowell), but the effect is akin to allowing an actor in a Picasso biopic paint his own copy of "Guernica." It just ain't the same.
Other choices also are puzzling. The movie opens with an artsy shot of Hiddleston as Hank sitting on a stool, without his guitar, illuminated by an overhead spotlight while crooning an a capella "Cold, Cold Heart"; eventually a harmonium or perhaps an accordion joins in. Is this supposed to be Hank in heaven? Is it Hank in an eternal limbo of lonesomeness? Whatever; the glossy fashion-magazine or television perfume ad vibe is entirely at odds with the economy of gesture, lack of pretense and ruthless honesty that characterize the Williams esthetic. (The unlikely cinematographer is the great Dante Spinotti, longtime collaborator with director Michael Mann on such chic films as "Manhunter" and "Heat.")
Music issues aside, Hiddleston — the British actor probably best-known for his portrayal of the trickster Norse god, Loki, in several Marvel Comics movies — is a convincing Williams, and his Hank-esque rawboned ranginess makes an interesting contrast to the robust curvaceousness of Elizabeth Olsen, cast as Hank's first wife, Audrey, whose desire to be a singing star in her own right is a source of constant conflict. The performer who makes the biggest impression, however, is Cherry Jones as Hank's stolid mother, Lillie, who resents the influence of other women on her strange, wayward son. "I know I birthed you, Hank, I was there," Lillie comments. "But where you came from …"
"I Saw the Light" follows Hank through various emotional episodes, career milestones and romantic infatuations. We see Hank during his early radio days with his band, the Drifting Cowboys, and during his mainstream stardom at the Grand Ole Opry (former Memphian Jeff Pope appears, briefly, as country singer Red Foley). We watch Hank pop pills, drink to excess and otherwise demonstrate he is "a professional at making a mess of things." The acting is fine, the period production design is admirable, but the narrative lacks drive and the movie fails to communicate the passion that must have motivated its creation. Perhaps Abraham (a veteran producer whose credits include "Children of Men") sensed something was missing; he occasionally breaks the action with fake "documentary" interviews and grainy faux home movie footage that only call attention to the fact that we are watching actors in staged settings.
The movie's most conspicuous failure is its relative inattention to Hank's songwriting. Admittedly, conveying this aspect of Williams' genius in movie terms is a daunting challenge, but even "Your Cheatin' Heart," an often fanciful 1964 Williams biopic that cast former Memphian George Hamilton as the country singer, took pains to show how the young Hank was inspired by Alabama blues musician Rufus Payne. "I write what I write and I sing what I sing 'cause that's what I do," Williams says in "I Saw the Light." "Ain't much choice, really." If you want more than that, turn to "Hank Williams: The Biography" by Colin Escott, the 1994 book that is this movie's credited source of inspiration.

Nicole Frances Delesdernier
“Service brings me peace, joy and a sense of purpose,” says Nicole Frances Delesdernier, an incoming senior at St. Mary’s Dominican High School.
As a member of St. Angela Merici Parish, Delesdernier has been an active member of the Catholic Youth Organization since the eighth grade. During the 2010-’11 school year, Delesdernier served as president.
Within the past year, St. Angela’s CYO held two drives to send gift boxes to the United States military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan; the organization collected enough donations to send more than 30 boxes. For the past four years, Delesdernier has volunteered with the CYO at Second Harvest’s food bank, sorting and packaging food for families in need of assistance.
Each year Delesdernier also visits Chateau de Notre Dame nursing home. “I think it is important to work with and for your community because if you don’t help and support your community, how can you expect the community to help and support you when you need it?” says Delesdernier.
From the age of 4, she attended a two-week vacation Bible Camp called Scripture Safari during the summer. In the eighth grade, when Delesdernier was too old to attend, she became a counselor.
Delesdernier says, “The ability to help children and to hopefully help them enjoy themselves as much as I did is important to me. Perhaps the children I work with will follow my example of service as I followed my grandmother’s example of service.”
At Dominican, Delesdernier is involved in many clubs and organizations including the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, the Christian Leadership Council and the preaching team. Through NHS and MAO, Delesdernier volunteers with Lafayette Charter Academy in an afternoon tutoring program. She feels compelled to volunteer at Lafayette Charter Academy because many of the students are considered homeless, and most don’t get enough attention from their parents when it comes to schoolwork.
Delesdernier is also involved with Dominican’s cross country and track team. She loves spending time with her family and always feels that her maternal family reunion, held each summer, is too far in the future.
When she grows up, Delesdernier wants do something that enriches her community. “People all around could use help with something whether it’s big or small,” she says, “and lending a hand isn’t just helping the community, but creating it, because without people working to do their best for others, there truly is no community.”

After the shake-up that saw CHA dumped in favour of LAN Systems recently, software vendor Citrix Systems has announced Sydney-based Alstom Information Technology will be added as a new Australian distributor.
Alstom is to distribute the full range of Citrix products, in particular Citrix's MetaFrame for Solaris.
The move has been announced as part of Citrix's long-term goal of penetrating the Unix marketplace in Australia.
Michael McGrath, marketing director for Citrix Systems Asia Pacific, singled out Alstom's "expertise in providing Sun Microsystems products to the Australian marketplace" and "overall experience in the IT industry" as key factors in the vendor's decision to appoint Alstom IT as a new distributor.
McGrath said Alstom IT was able to provide support for its MetaFrame for Unix products into key vertical markets, such as finance, telecommunications and the Government arena, which he described as "traditionally a stronghold for the Unix platform".
Citrix had decided to add another distributor to its line-up because "of the value Alstom [IT] can provide us," McGrath said. "The model is always under review and we're always keeping an eye on making sure we have the right partners on board."
He said Alstom IT was "a large, successful distributor which has earned a very good reputation in the Australian marketplace" and would be part of Citrix Systems' ongoing strategy to target the enterprise.
Chris Hale, general manager of Alstom IT, reported that the company approached Citrix in mid February after the launch of Solaris.
"We are thrilled about being appointed national distributor for Citrix, especially as the demand for application server software continues to grow in both the Windows NT and UNIX marketplaces," Hale commented.
Hale said he expected the relationship with Citrix to be one of "give and take", and hoped to further develop the marketplace through value-adding to Citrix products.
Alstom IT joins Citrix's other three distributors - LAN Systems, Express Data and MUA.

Redox Signaling refers to the process in which free radicals, reactive oxygen species and other electronically activated radicals act as messengers in the biological system. It is basically the process that shows how cells in our body respond to oxidants and free radicals. Redox signaling is a continuous and crucial process, through which human cells communicate with each other and carry out vital body functions.
Redox Signaling Molecules – What are they?
There are two kinds of Signaling molecules – “communicator” and “activator”. These two play the role of messengers and are responsible for the communication between cells throughout our body. Also known as Signaling molecules, they activate the body’s antioxidant compounds – Glutathione, SOD and Catalase.
In simpler terms, Redox signaling molecules are substances that are produced naturally within each cell of the body. When the cells are required to perform various functions, they generate two kinds of signaling molecules.
The first set of “activator” molecules trigger the antioxidants stored in the body. Antioxidants are extremely effective in fighting off the damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress; however they cannot function unless activated by the signaling molecules. Thus you require the Redox signaling ‘activator’ molecules to get the antioxidants to work.
The second set of “communicator” molecules is responsible for enabling proper communication between the cells of the body, ensuring optimum performance of the immune system and protecting the body against external stimuli such as harmful bacteria, viruses etc. The millions of cells in our body are able to properly communicate and function because of the Redox signaling molecules.
Why is Redox signaling so important?
Both the internal and external factors such as stress, toxic chemicals, bacterial infections, poor nutrition etc affect our health in an adverse way. This causes significant cellular damage and a reduction in Redox signaling molecules. Without an adequate supply of Redox signaling molecules the antioxidants and immune system are unable to function effectively, leading to a vast range of health ailments.
Researchers and scientists worldwide have been conducting several studies on the Redox signaling molecules to understand more about their structure, impact and function with respect to human health. Let’s take a look at some of the popular studies on this subject:
White, Blue-eyed Cats are Deaf
Charles Darwin, the father of evolution had mentioned “white cats with blue eyes are almost deaf”. He proposed that developmental issues with the nervous system might be the cause of deafness in the white, blue-eyed cats. But researchers believe it has something to do with the Redox signaling process, as Central nervous system development is a messenger-mediated process and so is the melanin synthesis.
Thus an imbalance in the Redox signaling process leads to improper melanin synthesis (giving the cat its white color) and leads to defective intra-cellular communication (causing hearing impairment).
Study by Hoffer and Osmond
The first instance of Redox processes being involved in cell signaling was given by Hoffer and Osmond. As per the Adrenochrome hypothesis, “psychoactive oxidative products of catecholamines (adrenochromes) play a role in schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric diseases”. While the proposed hypothesis still remains in question, the fact that messenger-mediated oxidative stress can result in neuropsychiatric diseases, has been proven correct.
Role of Active Oxygen Species in Ocular and Neurological Diseases
According to a study by P. H. Proctor, D.S Kirpatrick, L.A Morehead, J.E. McGinness, J.G. Hilton, & J.A. Hokanson on the role of active oxygen species in neurological disorders,
“Electronically activated oxygen molecules such as superoxide or peroxide are known to be the significant factors responsible for certain disorders of the eye and nervous system. For instance, a person with high levels of homocysteine or copper often shows four characteristic signs – psychotic behavior, movement disorders, deafness and pigmentary abnormalities. Both copper and homocysteine act as catalysts in the production of reactive oxygen molecules, and the above mentioned abnormalities can be a result of the Redox signaling process caused by these reactive molecules.”
This theory suggests that active oxygen species act as specific intermediary transmitters for a variety of biological processes including inflammation and fibrosis.
Aging is also attributed to this kind of free radical damage. The cells are not completely destroyed, but become less efficient. Too many oxidative molecules present in the blood and skin cells causes damage and aging. Improper balance of Redox signaling molecules causes the immune system to attack healthy cells, which divide and further spread the damage.
Cells are damaged by factors like sunlight, environmental pollution, toxins, chemicals, infections and other irritants. Damaged cells build up oxidants or free radicals. As a part of the Redox signaling process, the activator molecules trigger the antioxidants that neutralize the free radicals and maintain a balance of oxidative molecules in the body. Also the signaling molecules ensure that the immune system and cellular communication is functioning at optimum levels.
A lack of Redox signaling molecules disrupts this entire process – the balance of activated oxygen molecules is destroyed, leading to cellular damage and other health ailments.
Redox signaling is a widespread and essential process governing essential cellular activities, and there is an urgent need for new methods of study to assess the role of Redox molecules at the molecular and cellular level. With more products that can restore the balance of Redox molecules in the body, we would have answers and solutions for a wide variety of neurological and physical ailments. ASEA is one of those products. It is actually the only perfectly balanced mixture of stabilized Redox Signaling molecules that exists outside the body.

Hartmarx Corp. will consider dropping its complex ``poison-pill``
takeover defense after shareholders, over the objection of management, approved a measure Thursday put forward by the company`s retired chairman.
``Without the poison pill, we`ll be more attractive to institutional investors,`` said John R. Meinert, Hartmarx`s former chairman and owner of almost 90,000 shares.
The proposal by Meinert, who said the poison pill depresses the company`s stock price, won support from 57 percent of the shares voted at the company`s annual meeting.
The non-binding proposal, however, requires only that Hartmarx`s board consider asking shareholders to drop the takeover defense.
It does not require the board to act.
``It`s a good indication of shareholder sentiment,`` said Harvey Weinberg, Hartmarx chairman and chief executive, after the meeting.
At the meeting, Weinberg said little about the poison-pill measure, detailing instead what he views as Hartmarx`s improved prospects this year.
``I believe the bottom of the cycle is behind us,`` he said, citing signs of a turnaround in sales at the company`s stores and at other retailers that buy Hartmarx-manufactured tailored clothes and sportswear.
Mostly because of a $51 million restructuring charge, Hartmarx posted a $61.5 million loss for 1990, and an additional $1.2 million loss in its first quarter this year.
Weinberg later told reporters he expected a turnaround in the company`s earnings in the fourth quarter, which ends in November.
The company kept its quarterly dividend at 15 cents a share, half what it was before being cut last summer when the restructuring was announced.
Stockholder proposals such as those by Meinert, who is still paid $35,000 a month by the company under a consulting contract, have become more common in this annual meeting season as pension funds and others begin to exercise their share-voting muscle to persuade corporations to become more open to stockholder concerns.
Hartmarx`s shares have traded as low as $5.50 a share in the last year, mostly because of problems in some of its 235 stores, which operate under several names, including Baskin, Barrie Pace Ltd. and Kuppenheimer locally. The stock closed unchanged Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange at $12.37. Meinert said that the poison pill should be dropped as unnecessary and because it gives management ``indiscriminate power`` to deter bids for the company that could be in shareholders` best interests.

10 Must-See Nonconference Games in the 2014-15 College Basketball Season
More than half of college basketball's offseason is now in the rearview mirror, meaning it's about time to figure out which nonconference games of the 2014-15 season you absolutely cannot afford to miss.
These are the games that we'll be talking about for the rest of the year, whether in the weekly rankings, the tournament seedings or the daily arguments about which team is actually the favorite to win the 2015 national championship.
In deciding which game ranks where, I repeatedly asked myself: "If I was only allowed to watch Y games, would this be one of the Y games I would watch?"
And contrary to what may become popular belief after seeing the top seven games on the list, no, I am not a Kentucky fan—real recognize real.
November and December may be football season, but you would be remiss if you didn't at least watch these 10 nonconference college basketball games.
In case 10 games isn't enough or you don't feel like watching Kentucky four times, here are a few honorable mentions that are more than worth your time.
Gonzaga at Arizona (Dec. 6) and Gonzaga at UCLA (Dec. 13)
The Zags typically only play two or three true road nonconference games per year, and these are probably the two best games they have played since nearly shocking No. 2 Michigan State on Nov. 17, 2009. Expect to hear a lot of late February/early March discussion about these two games, as Gonzaga potentially states its case for a No. 1 seed.
Connecticut vs. Duke (Dec. 18) and Connecticut vs. Texas (Nov. 30)
For all three of these teams, there are more intriguing games in the top 10. Still, it has to be noted that the first five weeks of Connecticut's title defense will include two extremely difficult games.
Utah at San Diego State (Nov. 18) and Utah vs. Kansas (Dec. 13)
Were it up to me, these games would both be nationally televised in prime time. However, the SDSU game is on the same night as the Champions Classic, and the Kansas game is on the same day as Arizona vs. Michigan, UCLA vs. Gonzaga and Kentucky vs. North Carolina.
Utah also plays a pretty huge nonconference game against Wichita State on Dec. 3. Clearly, the Utes got the message that it was their schedule and not their talent that kept them out of the 2014 NCAA tournament.
Ohio State at Louisville (Dec. 2) and Ohio State vs. North Carolina (Dec. 20)
Though I do think Ohio State is headed for third place in the Big Ten and a Top 25 ranking for much of the season, I'm not convinced that either of these games will be as great as the top 10.
10. Southern Methodist vs. Gonzaga
When: November 17
Where: Spokane, Wash.
If this game were played 24 hours later, it might not even warrant an honorable mention.
As is, it's looking like this will be the first great game of the 2014-15 season.
For both teams, it will be our first look at a squad that has already made some huge offseason waves.
Gonzaga was going to be ranked in the Top 25. Even when it looked like Kyle Dranginis might be the team's fifth starter, expectations were high for a team bringing back Kevin Pangos, Gary Bell Jr. and Przemek Karnowski and adding Kyle Wiltjer after sitting out for a season.
After the announcement that the Bulldogs were adding USC's leading scorer Byron Wesley, though, they became a bona fide top-10 team.
SMU went in the opposite direction, opening the offseason as a top 10-15 team before slipping to the back of the Top 25 after word broke of Emmanuel Mudiay's decision to play overseas.
If SMU wins, it's a statement that the Mustangs are more than able to compete without Mudiay and just another case of Gonzaga failing to meet lofty expectations. If Gonzaga wins, prepare to hear about SMU's season that could have been with Mudiay, as well as Gonzaga's aspirations of being this year's Wichita State.
9. Michigan vs. Arizona
When: December 13
Where: Tucson, Ariz.
This perhaps the only game on the list that includes a team that doesn't open the season ranked in the Top 25, but if Michigan fails to join that club, it won't be by much.
Last year, it was the home game against Arizona that really got Michigan moving in the right direction. The Wolverines ultimately lost the game, but only by two points—and after holding a nine-point lead at the half and getting next to nothing out of Mitch McGary and Jordan Morgan.
Even against the gigantic Wildcats, it was the game that proved Michigan could beat top-notch teams while relying almost exclusively on its guards. The Wolverines went on to win their next 10 games and 22 of the next 26 before falling to Aaron Harrison in the Elite Eight.
Might this game have the exact same effect?
A lot of people (myself included) are down on the Wolverines this summer because they're undersized and lost too many of the best guards from last year. But that was pretty much the exact same narrative that started last year when McGary's back problems became public knowledge.
On the other bench, this game will be one of our only chances to see what Arizona is made of before the start of Pac-12 conference play.
The Wildcats play in the Maui Invitational, but there isn't much intrigue in that field until/unless they meet up with San Diego State. The only other noteworthy games are a late December road game against a UNLV team that might not be any good and the previously mentioned home game against Gonzaga.
Really, this could be the game that determines whether Arizona serves as one of the last undefeated teams in the country for a second straight season.
8. Battle 4 Atlantis Final
When: November 28
Where: Paradise Island, Bahamas
There's at least an outside chance that this game ends up being a dud.
In fact, let's rate some of the potential pairings on a scale from 0-10. The field for this tournament is UAB, Butler, Florida, Georgetown, North Carolina, Oklahoma, UCLA and Wisconsin.
Any final involving UAB is rated 0.9. This would just be a plain old zero if not for the fact that UAB surviving this group of death would be a pretty crazy story to follow.
A final between some combination of Butler, Georgetown, Oklahoma and UCLA is a 3.7. All four are likely NCAA tournament teams, but I wouldn't go betting on any of them to make the Final Four.
A final between one of the aforementioned four teams and one of the three favorites (Florida, North Carolina or Wisconsin) is rated 6.4. This game would have a distinct Sweet 16 feel to it with a clear favorite and a very formidable underdog.
Several bonus intrigue points if the underdog is going for an epic three-game sweep after eliminating the other two favorites (Ex: Georgetown vs. North Carolina with Georgetown having already beaten Florida and Wisconsin in the previous two games.)
A final between some combination of Florida, North Carolina and Wisconsin is 9.2. Even the three ideal pairings aren't quite as great as seven of the other games that are already actually on the schedule, but there's no question that the Battle 4 Atlantis is most likely to result in the best final of the early-season tournaments.
7. Texas vs. Kentucky
When: December 5
Where: Lexington, Ky.
It might never be quite as good from top to bottom as the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, but the Big 12/SEC Challenge does give us two of the best nonconference games we could possibly ask for.
The first one is a battle between two teams for whom we have spent just about the entire offseason drooling over their quality depth. Both Kentucky and Texas could legitimately run a 10- or 11-man rotation without losing much of anything from their on-court product.
Perhaps of most interest in this game will be finding out whether anyone will actually be big enough to contend with Kentucky.
Between Jonathan Holmes (6'8"), Obinna Oleka (6'8"), Connor Lammert (6'9"), Cameron Ridley (6'9"), Prince Ibeh (6'10") and Myles Turner (7'0"), the Longhorns have a front line that is tall enough and rebounds well enough to nullify the obvious advantage that the Wildcats will have against just about every other team they play this year.
That may merely mean that Kentucky wins because the Harrison twins, Andrew and Aaron, are much better than Isaiah Taylor and Javan Felix, but it should be fun to see how Kentucky responds to theoretically getting less than 15 offensive rebounds in this one.
6. Florida vs. Kansas
When: December 5
Where: Lawrence, Kan.
This serves as the second of two extremely intriguing Big 12/SEC Challenge games as well as the first of two very compelling rematches from last December involving Florida.
Not only did Florida win this battle last season, but it was the first step in what ended up being a 30-game winning streak.
For the opposite bench, Andrew Wiggins had himself a coming-out party in the losing effort. He scored 11 points in the final three minutes, finishing the game with 26 points and four made three-pointers—both of which stood as career highs until the final week of January.
Kansas struggled in the Battle 4 Atlantis, lost its first game back on the mainland to Colorado and was lampooned in the first half against Florida to the tune of a 15-point deficit at halftime. But that second half really seemed to be the turning point in Kansas' season.
It was an extremely rare game in which both teams can point back to it and say, "That's when we really started to click."
That's a lot to live up to, but Vegas Insider has both Florida and Kansas among the six favorites to win the 2015 championship. Don't be surprised if March rolls around and this early December game ends up being one of the biggest arguments for the winner as a No. 1 seed and the loser as a No. 2 seed.
5. Connecticut vs. Florida
When: January 2 or 3
Where: Gainesville, Fla.
There's a bit of Internet dissension in terms of when this game will be played. Connecticut's beat writer, Don Amore of the Hartford Courant, has it listed as January 2, but Florida's beat writer, David Jones of Florida Today, has it listed as January 3.
I'm assuming Jones has it right, as his post is slightly more recent, and it makes more sense for this game to be played on a Saturday than a Friday, but you have to love trying to make sense of college basketball schedules when they are sporadically announced on a team-by-team basis over the course of several months.
Either way, we're being treated to an early January rematch from the 2014 Final Four—which was already a rematch of a game that ended on a Shabazz Napier-injured-ankle buzzer-beater in December.
Of course, neither of these teams will look anything like it did four months ago. Connecticut lost two full-time starters (Napier and DeAndre Daniels) and two part-time starters (Lasan Kromah and Niels Giffey). Florida lost four full-time starters (Scottie Wilbekin, Patric Young, Casey Prather and Will Yeguete).
Despite all the players they lost, both teams are considered early candidates for a return trip to the Final Four. And as one of the latest nonconference games on the calendar, this game should tell us more about its participants' tournament outlook than something such as the next entry on the list.
4. Champions Classic
Who: Michigan State vs. Duke and Kentucky vs. Kansas
When: November 18
Where: Indianapolis, Ind.
Without a doubt, there will be a lot of complaints that this event isn't at No. 1 on the list but hear me out.
These games take place on the fifth day of the regular season. For last year's Champions Classic, Joel Embiid wasn't even in the starting lineup yet. A lot of the noteworthy freshmen—Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, Andrew Harrison and Dakari Johnson—committed either four or five fouls.
It's simply too early in the season for these teams to be anywhere near peak performance.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Champions Classic and would go see these games in a heartbeat. But as far as "games that help us decide which teams are the best in the country," there are a few better ones.
Think about it: How often was the 2013 Champions Classic referenced in the tournament-seeding discussion as opposed to games played as little as two weeks later into the season?
Again, this is a fantastic event. But with these four teams combining to replace 10 of last year's 20 starters, it'd be even more fantastic if it was played in early December after everyone has a few games under their belts.
3. Louisville vs. Kentucky
When: December 27
Where: Louisville, Ky.
Easily this is the best nonconference rivalry in the entire country, and it's only the third-most must-see game on the list.
Translation: Buckle up for some serious slugfests this fall.
One major thing this game has going for it—like the previous game on the list between Connecticut and Florida—is that it takes place more than a month into the season. By the time Kentucky and Louisville square off, we'll already have a pretty good idea what they'll each bring to the table.
Terry Rozier will have already spent nearly six weeks as a starting guard for Rick Pitino. Either Wayne Blackshear or Shaqquan Aaron should have emerged as a reliable small forward—the same goes for Mangok Mathiang and the plethora of incoming options at center.
Another big plus is that it's pretty much the only show in town. That stretch of days from Dec 22-30 is usually like a ghost town for college hoops.
But with Louisville losing Russ Smith, are we sure this is the battle between potential No. 1 seeds that it has been over the past three seasons? I had the Cardinals as a No. 4 seed in my projected bracket last week without getting much argument—and they were frankly closer to a No. 5 than a No. 3.
If they play well enough to be a top-10 team by the time this game rolls around, I'll change my tune and put it down as the best nonconference game of the 2014-15 season. Until then, let's reserve the top two spots for games that are more likely to be previews of the national championship.
2. Duke vs. Wisconsin
When: December 3
Where: Madison, Wis.
Over the past 13 years, Bo Ryan (351) and Mike Krzyzewski (379) have combined to win 730 games, each advancing to every NCAA tournament during that stretch.
But the legendary coaches have only faced each other twice—Duke won at home in the 2007 ACC/Big Ten Challenge, and Wisconsin won at home in the 2009 ACC / Big Ten Challenge.
Oddly enough, the loser of the game ended up having a better season. Wisconsin went 31-5 and reached the Sweet 16 during the 2007-08 season, while Duke went 35-5 and won the 2010 national championship. In each instance, the winner was eliminated in the round of 32.
Yet, this game may have more intrigue than the other two combined. In the rankings that ESPN, USA Today and CBS Sports posted after the deadline to declare for the NBA draft, Duke and Wisconsin were unanimously in the top four along with Kentucky and Arizona.
Long story short, if both the Badgers and the Blue Devils earned No. 1 seeds in the 2015 tournament, it wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
The battle that the world will tune in to watch is Frank Kaminsky vs. Jahlil Okafor.
Can Kaminsky go toe-to-toe with the most dominant center of the incoming class? Does Okafor have the ability to defend out to the perimeter against a player like Kaminsky? Will Duke be able to get offensive rebounds against a great defensive rebounding team in Wisconsin?
More importantly, can we survive the wait until early December to get the answers to these questions?
1. North Carolina vs. Kentucky
When: December 13
Where: Lexington, Ky.
While others have Duke winning the ACC and getting a No. 1 seed in the tournament, I foresee North Carolina earning those honors. Plus, Kentucky is substantially more likely to go 40-0 than Wisconsin.
Thus, this blue-blood battle edges out Duke vs. Wisconsin for singular nonconference game I would watch if I'm only allowed to pick one.
(Thank heavens that isn't the case.)
If you love great coaching battles, this one has John Calipari against Roy Williams.
If you enjoy watching great point guards go head-to-head, how can you argue with Marcus Paige against Andrew Harrison?
If you're hopelessly obsessed with freshmen, you'll be glad to know this game features six of the top 18 players on the ESPN 100.
And if you like college basketball history, how about this game between two of the three schools in the country with more than 2,100 wins, per Sports-Reference.com?
Let's also sprinkle in the fact that Kentucky and North Carolina delivered one of the best nonconference games of last season—UNC won 82-77 in a game where neither team led by more than eight points.
Add it all up and this should be one for the ages.

Samuel Golden admits he wants to keep his 53-year-old daughter, who functions at the level of a 2-year-old, in what some critics would label a large "institution." Her life, he said, would deteriorate if she were forced to move into a smaller group home that couldn't provide adequate therapy and daily activities.
But Stanley Ligas, 41, who has Down syndrome and can hold a job and balance a checkbook, wants to do just that -- leave a 96-bed facility in favor of a residential home with two or three other people and live closer to his sister.
The two men vividly represent both sides of a federal lawsuit filed by Ligas and six other plaintiffs that aims to move thousands of Illinois adults with mental disabilities into community-based group homes. After four years in court, the case today inched closer to a settlement despite concerns raised by hundreds of opponents who fear the proposed agreement will jeopardize the future of larger facilities.U.S. District Judge James Holderman, who has not indicated when he will rule on the issue, on Wednesday listened to dozens of relatives speak on behalf of loved ones during a fairness hearing that drew at least 200 people.

Tuesday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Chip Kelly caused some major excitement in the football world last night as he brought the Oregon Ducks to the NFL. No one benefitted more than running back LeSean McCoy, who ran for 184 yards in Philadelphia's 33-27 win over Washington. As pointed out on Twitter by SB Nation's Matt Ufford, McCoy looked like he was a Madden character, as you can see here and here. If you didn't stay up for the nightcap, you missed the San Diego blowing 28-7 lead (and making me look like an idiot) thanks in part to a penalty on a new rule that is extremely dumb.
Every team has obnoxious fans. Some fan bases have a worse reputation than others. One of those is the Jets. This video won't help change that impression, especially since the person acting like a punk is a little kid.
During a press conference yesterday in which the UCLA coach was talking about death of walk-on receiver Nick Pasquale, a video technician decided to answer his cell phone and have a conversation. This did not go over well with Mora.
U.K. model Imogen Thomas has just done this photoshoot that you'll want to see. ... Colombian beauty Karen Carreno recently modeled some bikinis. ... WWE Diva Trish Stratus may have left the company, but she's still staying in shape.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter tried to fight Yankees skipper Joe Girardi last night after Girardi barked at one of Baltimore's coaches about stealing signs.
During the second set of Rafael Nadal's U.S. Open title win against Novak Djokovic yesterday, the two men had a 54-shot rally.
I love the '80s, but this is a bit much. Meet a guy who lives as if it's still 1986.
After watching the previous video, I felt like I should post this today.

Retail Report: Nasty Gal's Second Brick-and-Mortar Store Comes to Santa Monica
Sophia Amoruso's sexy-cool e-commerce brand opened its second store on March 27.
At Nasty Gal’s newest brick-and-mortar store, on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, the bright white space, the retro neon wall sign (reading "I still remember what I was wearing when it happened") and the rows upon rows of Nasty Gal staples — including slashed denim, edgy cutout dresses and glittering metallic platforms — all ooze that cool-girl vibe that helped transform Sophia Amoruso’s one-woman eBay store into a millennials go-to e-tailer just nine years ago.
The 6,500-square-foot shop, which held its grand opening on Friday, is the brand’s second and largest storefront, which — in addition to stocking its standard stylish labels and its collection designed in-house — boasts a full shoe salon and an impressive collection of vintage designer pieces from the likes of Moschino, Chanel and Louis Vuitton (priced between $200 to $600 for clothing and upwards of $2,000 for vintage designer jewelry). A glance across the floor reveals no shortage of sequins, metallic embellishments and kitschy, statement-making pieces (think hot pink felines emblazoned on a sequined crop top, neon neoprene minidresses and thigh-high lace-up gladiator sandals) that the company is known for.
Like its sister store on Melrose, the space is flashy yet chic, outfitted with chrome and white lacquer fixtures, mirrored walls and modern architectural installations including geometric archways in bright red and the brand’s signature baby pink. Loyal Nasty Gal fans will recognize the '80s-inspired tacky-cool aesthetic present in the various displays, which are more or less arranged by club wear, dressy daytime wear and more casual, Coachella-worthy fashions, with accessories, #GIRLBOSS-approved magazines and sassy mannequins posed throughout the floor.
The opening weekend celebration, which included complimentary mini cupcakes by Baked by Melissa and jars overflowing with Hershey’s chocolates, featured a GIF photobooth, a DJ and a book signing with Amoruso herself. What more could a girl want?
1254 3rd St Promenade, Santa Monica; NastyGal.com
Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.-11 p.m.
Sunday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

These designers are dishing on how to create the best home audio experience
When it comes to designing the ultimate home music room, our favorite interior designers say it’s not just about how it looks, but also how it feels. And it turns out any room in your home can become an environment fueled by music.
Read on to learn how these experts go about designing music into a space, get some fresh music room ideas and design inspiration, and maybe even snag a few great music recommendations along the way.
What key components do you consider when designing the layout of a music room?
Tiffany Howell of Night Palm: I think a lot about how the music is going to sound and FEEL in the room. I layer with textures that are going to add to their listening experience. I want warm woods and lush fabrics so that we get a nice sounding tone in the space. Also, I space plan the room so that you get the best positioning for optimal listening.
Rania Alomar of RA-DA: When designing a music room, I imagine an autonomous space specific to that purpose. But many people don’t have the space to live that way. We think about the entire space and what is happening within to design the music experience. I like to integrate music in places we use throughout the day - the kitchen, outdoor space, bathroom, living room or other places you socialize. In a social space, music should recede in order to have a conversation while still having the music audible but if you are in a kitchen, likely doing a task, the music can be a little louder. Location and balance is also a key component as it must be properly placed so it is not blaring in one ear from one corner of the room.
Nellie Mark of Charlotte Lucas Interior Design: When laying out a music room, there are a number of key things to consider: storage, seating, and what you want to be a main focal point in the space. In the case of one of my clients, they had an extensive vinyl collection -- which obviously needed to be stored somehow -- so we chose to make the collection itself a part of the design. For the client, it's like looking at art they love everyday!

What are must haves for a home music room? Any things to avoid?
NM: To enjoy music fully, great acoustics and a comfortable ambiance are key. Comfortable seating, rugs for sound absorption and moody tones help to create this environment.
RA: Proper acoustics so there are no competing sounds or echoes. Acoustics can differ from room to room...the acoustics in a bathroom will be different from a kitchen. We also incorporate soft surfaces as they adequately temper the sound and allow you to have conversations at the same time. If you have a more minimal style interior space with a lot of hard surfaces, be sure to add elements like area rugs to make acoustics better.

How do you make a “music room” multifunctional?
TH: Most of my clients are record collectors and so I create rooms that integrate players into the spaces that end up being "the heartbeat of the house". I usually create a mood and a total sensory vibe in those spaces. Even the little things like the smell of the candles, the warmth of the lighting and the taste of the cocktails add to the overall experience.
Photo by Jenna Peffley, Design by Tiffany Howell
RA: To make a music room multifunctional, the key is having flexibility with volume, to be able to control the evenness so that the music is not blasting. More and more, our firm is being asked to hide speakers behind the drywall, but smaller speakers mean less powerful and lower quality. Having Wrensilva’s speaker integrated within the furniture piece without sacrificing quality or sound is an amazing resource to achieve this request.
NM: Incorporating a bar or desk/workspace are two ways to make a space like this serve several functions. A bar area for pouring a drink and playing records while entertaining, or an office space for working & surrounding yourself with inspiration, are two different routes you could take to give the music room more than one purpose. A hidden bar like this one could be great in a music room:
Photo by Morgan English, Design by Charlotte Lucas
Do you think any room can be a music room? And if so how do you make a living room, family room, den, etc. into a music room?
TH: Definitely! Just have fun with it. My best advice is to make sure there is room for dance parties.
NM: Yes! In getting a piece like The Standard from Wrensilva (or the Loft if you're in a more compact space), you can turn any room into a music room! I'd advise picking the room in your house with the most sound absorption and coziest environment, but in adding just this one important piece, you can easily create a room that's centered around music.
RA: Just like you want light and air in every room, the same goes for music too. By having it in every room, it supports all the senses. If you seamlessly integrate music into your living space, every room ideally could be a music room. When we are designing a space, we think about all the senses starting from the outside in - the smell of fresh grass or lavender from the garden, the sound and acoustics as you enter the home, the feeling of either the carpet or hard surface you walk on. But it’s not just what you see, it’s also what you feel - maybe there’s a breeze from an open window, gentle daylight, and then when you fold music into that, that adds to the overall experience of the room.
If you could pick any Wrensilva for a project, which one would you choose and why?
TH: I am a fan of The Standard. It sounds so good and of course I like the fact that it looks sexy.
NM: The Standard is my favorite for its subtlety. It looks like a standard console but has a wonderful hidden secret within it.
RA: I love the Loft - this console is versatile, it could go anywhere and doesn’t have to be the center. It can be dotted around, or you could even have a few them throughout the home.
What’s your favorite (or one of your all time favorite) albums?
TH: Leonard Cohen - New Skin for the Old Ceremony
NM: Leon Bridges - Coming Home. So good!
RA: We listen to Michael Kiwanuka all the time at home. And in the office, pianist Ludovico Einaud for his calming music.

Everything that has a beginning has an end.
This week marked the end of the long wait for the reveal of Magic Leap's first product and the beginning of the wait for more substantive details. Likewise, Google Tango will meet its end in March 2018, when ARCore will officially begin its public rollout.
Meanwhile, Honda is hoping for a happy ending for hospitalized children, gifting them with some AR well-wishes to brighten their days.
It finally happened. Magic Leap has given the world its first glimpse at its debut device, the Magic Leap One Creator Edition.
At 9 a.m. ET, the company flipped the switch on a huge website update that splashed the homepage with images of what is now confirmed to be an augmented reality headset.
The headsets, called Lightwear, looks radically different than anything that has come before it, with rounded lens instead of a windshield-like display. Lightwear will be tethered to a wearable computer, called the Lightpack, which appears to be the size of a Sony Discman. Accompanying the headset and device is a handheld controller for navigation, including "force control" and haptic feedback.
Read more about the Magic Leap One reveal and our complete coverage of Magic Leap, including what people are saying about it, what you'll be able to do with it, and what we know about the tech behind it...
REALITY BITES: Steem, creators of a mobile augmented reality platform for the home services industry, has raised $1.725 million in seed funding from a group of venture capital firms.
Along with the announcement that the first non-preview version of ARCore will be coming in March 2018, the official Tango Twitter account stated the turn down for Tango will also happen in March 2018.
"As we focus on bringing augmented reality to the entire Android ecosystem with ARCore, we're turning down support of Tango," said Nikhil Chandhok, director of product management at Google.
As Kylo Ren said in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, "Let the past die." With that in mind, read more about what Google has added to its developer preview for ARCore...
REALITY BITES: While Apple and Google press forward with mobile AR toolkits, many industry experts believe the future of AR applications will lie in spatial computing. One of the companies working in this space is Scrape Technologies, and co-founder Edward Miller builds his case for the "AR cloud" on Medium.
Augmented reality has given companies worldwide great powers for innovating business practices and engaging customers, but on Monday, Honda demonstrated that with great power, also comes great social responsibility.
In this case, the carmaker, with a technology assist from Blippar, is using its augmented reality powers to bring a little joy to the lives of hospitalized children facing grave illnesses at the Children's Hospital of Orange County in California.

REALITY BITES: AR hardware components maker WaveOptics has appointed David Hayes as their new CEO. Hayes also held the CEO mantle of 1066 Labs. DAQRI acquired the firm in 2015, with Hayes continuing to serve as an executive vice-president prior to taking over at WaveOptics.

Clemson, SC -
Pinch-hitter Mike Papi hit a two-out, run-scoring single in the ninth inning to tie the score, then hit a solo homer in the 11th inning to lead #12 Virginia to a 6-5 win over Clemson in 11 innings in front of 4,823 fans at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Friday night. The Cavaliers, who took a 1-0 lead in the series, improved to 16-1 overall and 3-1 in the ACC. The Tigers fell to 10-6 overall and 2-2 in ACC play.
The Tigers built a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning, but Virginia scored one run in the seventh inning before plating three runs in the ninth inning to tie the score. Clemson escaped Virginia's one-out, bases loaded jam in the 10th inning without giving up a run, but Papi delivered for the Cavaliers in the 11th inning to give them the one-run victory.
Kyle Crockett (2-0), the last of five Cavalier pitchers, earned the win by pitching 2.2 scoreless innings of one-hit ball with four strikeouts against no walks.
Mike Kent (0-1), the last of seven Tiger hurlers, suffered the loss. He only allowed one of the six batters he faced to reach base, but it was Papi's game-winning home run. Starter Daniel Gossett pitched 7.0 strong innings, allowing five hits, two runs, and no walks with six strikeouts. Clemson gave up six earned runs, ending the Tigers' 13-game streak of allowing three earned runs or less.
Shane Kennedy gave Clemson a 2-0 lead in the second inning when he belted a two-run homer to left field, his second long ball of the season. Garrett Boulware, who reached on an error, also scored on the home run.
Derek Fisher led off the top of the fourth inning with a double down the left-field line and advanced to third on Brandon Downes' groundout to second. Joe McCarthy then lofted a sacrifice fly to left to score Fisher.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Steve Wilkerson led off with a double to left field and advanced to third on Boulware's single to right field. Steven Duggar flared a single to left-center to score Wilkerson, then Kennedy plated Boulware with a sacrifice fly to right.
Kenny Towns hit a one-out triple to left field in the seventh inning and scored on Nick Howard's single to left field.
Downes led off the ninth inning with a double off the wall down the left-field line on a 1-2 pitch and McCarthy blooped a single to left field. Towns struck out as McCarthy stole second, then Howard grounded out to short to score Downes. Reed Gragnani hit a two-out double off the top of the wall in right field to plate McCarthy, then Papi came off the bench and grounded a single up the middle to plate Gragnani and tie the score 5-5.
Jared King led off the 10th inning with a single up the middle and advanced to second on Fisher's sacrifice bunt. After Downes walked on nine pitches, McCarthy walked on seven pitches to load the bases. But after Kent entered the game on the mound, he struck out Towns and got Howard to fly out to deep right field to end the inning.
Papi gave Virginia a 6-5 lead in the top of the 11th inning when he crushed a solo homer to right field, his second long ball of the season.
Branden Cogswell, Towns, and Papi had two hits apiece to pace Virginia, who totaled 12 hits in the contest.
Wilkerson and McGibbon had two hits apiece to lead the Tigers, who amassed 10 hits in the game. Kennedy had a game-high three RBIs as well.
Clemson and Virginia will play game-two of the three-game series on Saturday at 6:30 PM. The game will be available live via webcast on ESPN3.

After a sporadic couple of weeks, I got to spend 3+ hours at the barn yesterday. It was like heaven. I worked both horses on the ground, let them both graze if not to their hearts content, at least for a good long time, brushed the mud off, de-tangled manes and tails, and spend some time reminding Bar of boundaries.
He forgets, you see. When we work together consistently, he does a pretty good job of not being a brat. He always tests, of course, but with the recent lapse in quality barn time, he didn't give in quite as fast. It wasn't even that he didn't want out, either. I worked Lena first, got back to the paddocks, and had a sad-faced Thoroughbred looking at me.
Part of it is his huge play drive, which was sometimes encouraged in less-than orthodox ways by his race trainer/former owner, Howie. We had to teach Bar that biting (for example) is not a part of play, no matter how long he's been cooped up in his paddock. Yesterday, he was definitely feeling high--dancing over obstacles, even jumping sometimes, feeling good in his own skin--and he's fun to watch when he's in that humor. Awesome, actually. It's a delicate balance, though, to give him the opportunity to cut loose and still keep the boundaries in place. It absolutely requires being clear and firm, just like another horse would be in the same circumstances. Body language works extremely well, actually. Taking an aggressive stance when he's headed towards you will keep him from coming in too close, too fast, and instead he'll veer off and stop a respectful distance away until you invite him closer.
He actually wasn't too bad yesterday, just wired. WIRED. Normally, a few trips around the round pen settles him out and we can do some good thinking work. I got dizzy waiting for it yesterday, and it took quite a while for him to come down enough to a relaxed trot with any kind of collection. But he did. Eventually. By then it was dinner time (his), and so when I led him over to the mounting block for a little bareback work, he fussed. He nipped at the lead rope (and in the direction of my fingers) as I looped it through his halter. He never connected, but he was definitely reverting to earlier behavior. Smacking him doesn't really help--he just thinks I'm playing--so I sent him around me, over objects, both directions, then made him stand much further away than he likes until he settled down. You can see it in his eyes when he's decided to go along with you, just like you can see it in his eyes when he's in the mood to nip. It's all about paying attention and preempting the negative behavior with him--so he knows you actually can read his mind. It's evil, I know, but effective.
Lena, by the way, was only marginally better. Her reactions are just different as she is a much more confident horse than Calabar is. She's also bossier, so our arguments were around doing what I asked and not ripping my arm out of the socket to get to grass. She maintained her normal round pen routine--go along lazily, then pretend something spooks her and zip around snorting with her tail up in the air. I just let her go until she calmed down, dropped her head, and started licking her lips. Still at a canter, mind you, but much more relaxed, until she finally settled into a nice, relaxed trot.
Both of them loved their spa time, too, giving big yawns and head shakes while I brushed the dreadlocks out of their tails. They are both a little vain, so simply telling them they are looking beautiful will usually distract them from being antsy in the cross ties.
All in all, a quite restorative day at the barn. And the way things are shaping up at work, we're all going to need as much of that as we can squeeze in.

Through the discovery process of the lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, in which the latter is accusing the former of having colluded with a former Google engineer, Anthony Levandowski, to steal technology from their self-driving car startup, we now learn that Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and Levandowski really don’t like Tesla CEO Elon Musk and some of the claims he made about the Autopilot program.
In a series of text messages between the two released by Waymo’s lawyers (first reported by Mark Harris at IEEE), Uber’s CEO and Levandowski, who until recently led Uber’s self-driving effort after the ride-sharing company bought his self-driving truck startup Otto, exchanged articles about Tesla’s Autopilot being blamed in accidents and comments about Musk’s claims regarding Tesla’s self-driving efforts.
Musk has often talked about not needing lidar sensors to achieve fully self-driving capacity. It’s something we discussed in detail in our report “Tesla still has no plans to use LiDAR in consumer vehicles, but does use the tech for ‘ground truthing’“, but the gist of it is that Musk prefers the use of a combination of computer vision through cameras and radar detection. He sees the combination of cameras and radar antennas as more efficient than lidar sensors when it comes to dealing with fog, rain, and snow.
Levandowski, who is an expert in lidar sensors and developed some of Google’s lidar technology, which is what the company is accusing him of having stolen, called Musk’s claim “shit” and even suggested to Kalanick that they should start a “faketesla” social media campaign.
“We’ve got to start calling Elon on his shit. I’m not on social media but let’s start “faketesla” and start give physics lessons about stupid shit Elon says […]”
The engineer also claims that Musk was lying about the safety record of the Autopilot and they shared articles of alleged Autopilot crashes. For example, Levandowski sent Kalanick an article about an accident that happened in Irvine, California, back in June 2016.
A Tesla Model X owner, Puzant Ozbag, claimed that his wife was about to park the all-electric SUV in a parking lot when the vehicle accelerated “on its own” and crashed into a building (pictured above), according to his wife. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
The claim was quickly refuted.
When reporting on the accident and Ozbag’s claim, we reached out to Tesla and they reviewed the vehicle’s logs. A spokesperson told us that the logs show that the vehicle’s response was “consistent with the driver’s actions” and that the accelerator pedal was “abruptly increased to 100%.”
Later, Tesla hacker Jason Hughes bought Ozbag’s Model X from salvage and was able to confirm Tesla’s version of the story by extracting the logs and footage from the accident.
In October 2016, when Tesla announced its Autopilot 2.0 hardware and made the claim that it would eventually enable fully self-driving capability, Levandowski and Kalanick also exchanged a few text messages about the announcement:
It’s not exactly surprising to see some animosity between Tesla and Uber.
Earlier this year, Tesla called Otto, Levandowski’s self-driving truck startup that Uber acquired, ‘little more than demoware’, in a lawsuit filed against Tesla’s former Autopilot director.

We are discussing if breast implants need to be replaced every so often. There are two types of breast implants. There are silicone breast implants and there are saline breast implants. In a saline breast implant, there's a silicone shell and it's filled with saline which is, for all indents and purposes, water.
In a silicone breast implant, there's a silicone shell and it's filled with a form of silicone that is almost similar to a gummy bear consistency. The saline implants, in theory, are supposed to last around ten years.
So, if you have a saline breast augmentation, after about ten years, there's a chance that they could deflate which is not dangerous, but it would mean that they would need to be replaced. So, back in the 80's and 90's, silicone implants has a much thinner shell and the quality was much poorer. Therefore, old silicone implants, that were put in in the 80's and 90's, those implants might need to be replaced because the shells were not as thick and the quality simply wasn't as good.
Today, manufacturers make silicone implants that have a thicker shell and a much higher quality, So breast implants made today, manufacturers actually give a lifetime warranty and the implants, the silicone implants, that are used today should ask for a patient's life. That being said, there's always the chance that some sort of re-operation would be necessary, but it's very unlikely that that would be because of the structural integrity of the implant due to the high quality of breasts implants today.

This is the second day of the Love Blog Challenge,
hosted by the lovely BelleBrita.
Prompt for 2/4: Laughter
Tim and I do our fair share of laughing. He’s the funny one, although a couple of times I’ve blind-sided him with something uncharacteristically clever. And, even though we don’t always appreciate the same kind of humor, we know each other well enough to recognize what to share and what to just enjoy on our own.
But, I’m telling you. When our kids get together and let us tag along, we bring extra oxygen and some back braces just to keep upright.
Of course, sitting here in my studio looking for an example of a laugh marathon, I can’t even think of one good story or expression or response.
Get any of us started with just an inside joke, family phrase, or vacation reference, though, and the squeaking gets louder with every passing hysterical moment. We stumble over each other’s words, correct forgotten details, and start telling new stories before the last is finished because, of course, we all know how they end.
Just to be clear, again, I’m not often the storyteller. No, but I am the one that fuels the sustained giggles – you know the ones that erupt when everybody gets composed, until one person snorts a little snicker and the domino affect kicks in? Like when the last story doesn’t quite fade away and someone just can-NOT get past that mental picture of Billy’s orange, three-piece plaid suit – the one with the reversible vest?
The pleasure those nights provide cannot be measured. The feeling of euphoria and contentment, combined with the simple joy of being together, is like no other.
Now, I’ve also seen my share of laughter used as a weapon instead of an embrace. I’ve heard kids make serious fun of the new girl’s clothes, or the kid with the stutter or the limp. I’ve heard grown-ups laugh when brainstorming in the conference room – shaming the one whose idea they don’t like with a smirk and a sarcastic put-down.
And I can’t deny my own share of mean-spirited laughing even if those incidents were out-weighed by the times I was at the sharp end of the stick. I look back on those ugly occasions and cringe, hoping I’ve been forgiven and vowing to never repeat something so hurtful.
Healthy and shared laughter is one of the wonderful gifts from God that cost nothing and mean everything. Even if I am in the other room, hearing that quote from Caddyshack or one of the kids say, “Remember when Dad…” warms my heart like nothing else. Because I know it will be followed by howling and knee-slapping and rolling on the floor. I know our sides will ache as our hearts feel ready to burst.
I know that laughter we share, just like love, is what we cherish now and what will sustain us forever.

*Editor's note: Wired.com contributor Jeremy Hart is making a 60-day, 15,000-mile drive around the world with a few mates in a pair of Ford Fiestas. He's filing occasional reports from the road. *
Another week, another continent. As I write this (on my trusty iPad) we are blasting across Europe. The Fiesta World Tour 2010 has left The New World behind and is heading deep into the Old World. The Middle East is on the horizon and Asia is not far off.
The last week in the U.S. and Canada was nothing but gadget hassle. The once-wonderful Virgin MiFi became a liability for all of us when it refused to do the one job it was designed to do and had, up to then, been doing brilliantly: Be a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot in our Ford Fiesta.
Sleep is a luxury on a global drive so I did not enjoy wasting an hour to the useless Virgin Mobile help desk, only to be told their server was down. The advice from the same desk the next morning was to reboot the device using a paperclip. Not easy at 70mph on I-95.
But for the last day of the U.S. leg the MiFi finally started working and found me (via my iPad) a great place for breakfast between Boston and NYC: the Cosmic Omelet in Manchester CT. Then it helped guide us (when the TomTom and in-car satellite navigation system did not) to the spot I had found on GoogleEarth from which to film our arrival in The Big Apple.
The second technical hiccup came when I gave up trying to ignite my Spot Satellite Messenger for you guys to follow our progress. I called FindMeSpot's 800 number, only to be told the one I had bought from BestBuy in LA was a recalled unit. The Spot public relations people FedExed one to me in time for me to get it going for the last few miles of the U.S. trip. It is now well up and running and you can see where we have been at. But I will turn it off when we are in more sensitive areas.
Leg 2 started in Ireland, on the far side of The Pond, at the Lisdoonvarna matchmaking festival. (Don't ask.) I'd hoped for a Guinness gadget of some kind from Dublin but only when we got across to Wales did the gadgets start ramping up.

Nov. 8 (UPI) — Ford Motor Co. and China’s Anhui Zotye Automobile will spend $756 million to build all-electric passenger vehicles in the Asian nation under a new brand.
The two companies will equally own the new venture — called Zotye Ford Automobile Co. Ltd. — which is subject to regulatory approval in both nations, Ford said in a statement.
Zotye Ford plans to build a factory in Zhejiang Province, south of Shanghai, which will include a product research and development center and a sales and services network, Ford said.
By 2025, the U.S. automaker said it envisions 70 percent of all its vehicles sold in China will have electric powertrain options. Ford already has joint ventures in China with Chongqing Changan Automobile and Jiangling Motors.
Last month, Ford said it’s sold nearly 833,000 vehicles in China so far this year — a 5 percent decrease over the same period in 2016.
“Zotye Ford will introduce a new brand family of small all-electric vehicles,” said Peter Fleet, Ford Asia Pacific‘s president. “We will be exploring innovative vehicle connectivity and mobility service solutions for a new generation of young city-dwelling Chinese customers.”
China is the world’s leading electric vehicle market.
Zotye Auto, which is No. 1 in China’s electric small vehicle segment, has sold more than 22,500 all-electric vehicles through September — 14 percent more over last year.
Zotye’s electric cars include the the two-seat E200.
Ford is planning $10 billion in exports from the United States to China in the next three years, including Ford-brand and Lincoln-brand cars and components.
Tesla, Daimler AG and General Motors have already announced plans for making electric vehicles in China.

#1 Gotham Denies #4 Texas, 84-76
WOODBRIDGE, CT -- In a bout that easily lived up to the already sky-high expectations, the #1 Gotham Girls Roller Derby had to fight back their stiffest challenge in a year, surviving a second half 38-1 run by #4 Texas Rollergirls and coming back from a 68-51 deficit with 13 minutes to play to stave off the Austin crew by a dramatic final of 84-76.
Coverage of this bout was sponsored by Black Eyed Susan Skate Shop and Roller Warriors. See the full bout video archive, the boutcast liveblog from Justice Feelgood Marshall, Xena Paradox and Slack Kerowhack, and the unofficial box score.
Both teams went back and forth throughout the first half, and the first couple of jams were a pretty good indication of what the evening had in store. Gotham looked like they might be headed for another one of their signature romps when Bonnie Thunders jammed her way to a 10-0 over Bloody Mary and Mary ended the jam in the box - but on the following jam, Texas' defenders Bullet Tooth Tracy and Rice Rocket were very assertive against Suzy Hotrod, helping Bloody Mary take a 9-0 before Hotrod could finally claim lead and call the jam.
That jam was the first incidence of many where Texas had great success handling Hotrod -- they'd keep her shut out on many turns with the star through the night, though the times when she exploded proved to be game-changers.
Texas took the lead back on the 4th jam, 13-10 as Olivia Shootin' John scored a 4-0 over Hotrod, and although they kept the lead over the following 8 jams, that margin never got larger than a mere six points, with a long series of barely-scoring jams inching the totals to Texas 22, Gotham 16 with 11 minutes to play.
Gotham took an increasingly rare big jam at that point, exploiting a power jam over boxed Texas jammer Bloody Mary as Bonnie Thunders slammed twice for a 10-0, making it Gotham 26, Texas 22 ... and then a four-jam sequence bore a remarkable similarity to the previous, as Gotham clung to a lead that bounced from 6 points to just 1 going into the final jam of the half.
Suzy Hotrod hadn't gotten on the board at all for her team until that jam, but she picked an incredibly good moment to do so as she was able to exploit a power jam and put up the biggest jam of the night, a 15-0 that gave Gotham the biggest separation of the game so far at 16 points, 43-27 Gotham at the break.
Texas came back after the break on a wicked tear, though. Gotham got the best of the first jam as Bonnie took a 4-0 with the help of a light pack favoring Gotham, but then it was suddenly, undeniably all Texas. Gotham was only able to muster 1 point over the next 9 jams, while Texas chipped away. They took the lead at 57-48, on a controversial jam that saw Gotham jammer Fisti Cuffs apparently using every ounce of her agility to barely avoid a track cut, but getting boxed at the end of her struggle anyway. Olivia Shootin' John took that opportunity to drop a 9-0.
The girls from Austin continued their run after the lengthy ref conference that followed wrapped up, making it a 38-1 run, pushing their lead to 65-48, and displaying some well-earned confidence with 15:40 to play.
Though Gotham finally got some more points on the board and stopped Texas's seemingly inexorable rise, the 14th jam of the half, with about ten minutes to play, looked like a bad omen for Gotham -- with the score Texas 68, Gotham 53 and Gotham needing a confidence-building jam, their jammer Fisti Cuffs got a crowd-pleasing lead jammer call but then lost her footing coming through a turn and had to call scoreless as the pack re-absorbed her.
But just when Gotham's offense looked spent, they fired back with three critical shutout jams that totally swung the game. It started with Bonnie Thunders taking a 6-0 power jam over Lucille Brawl, and then Texas jammer Bloody Mary emerged from a tangle with a ticket to the penalty box while the Texas defense lost their usual control of Suzy Hotrod, letting her get a 15-0.
Gotham took the lead over there at 74-68, and when Bonnie Thunders got a 10-0 to follow with the help of a fantastic Donna Matrix block on opponent Olivia Shootin' John, it was Gotham 84 Texas 68 with only 3:25 left to play in the bout and it looked like Gotham was just one punch away from the knockout.
But Texas won the next two jams and denied Gotham any more points. They stole a quick 2-0 for Rice Rocket, and then Bloody Mary lapped Bonnie Thunders for a grand slam and booked it for one more point, getting a 6-0 and narrowing the gap to 8 points at 84-76 Gotham with a mere 35 seconds left on the clock.
A timeout ratcheted the drama even higher as Texas jammer Lucille Brawl lined up for the potential game-winning comeback win over Bonnie Thunders, but Texas could not claim the lead jammer call they needed to make the run. Bonnie took lead with no time left on the clock, and immediately killed the jam and the game with a 0-0, preserving a 16 bout Gotham winning streak that looked all but over just ten minutes previous.
See the unofficial box score.
Bonnie Thunders was the only Gotham jammer to have much luck against the Texas crew; she'd put up a very impressive 51 points on 16 jams while taking lead jammer 11 times and outscoring her opponents by 33 points total. The only other real point-producer for Gotham, Suzy Hotrod, was uncharacteristically marginalized; while she did get two huge momentum-swinging 15-0 powerjams at critical moments, she was blanked on 9 of 12 jams. She ended up with 31 total points, 3 lead jam calls and a perfectly even jammer point differential.
The other two Gotham jammers were all but shut down: Barbara Ambush did not score on her 5 jams, got lead once and was outscored by 11 points, while Fisti Cuffs could only get 2 points on her 5 jams, got 1 lead jammer call and was outscored by 14 points.
For Texas, Bloody Mary put the most points on the board with 29 in 12 jams, but was in the box for both of Suzy Hotrod's 15-0 romps, which killed her point differential -- Mary was outscored by 27 points overall while picking up 6 lead jam calls. Olivia Shootin' John rambled for 21 points on 13 jams and 5 lead jam calls, but could only outscore her opponents by a point.
It was Lucille Brawl who was arguably Texas' most effective jammer on the night, putting up 21 points and getting an impressive +15 differential with the help of getting lead jammer on almost every trip to the line -- 8 out of 10. Rice Rocket, usually one of Texas' primary jammers, was used sparingly -- she put up 5 points on 3 jams, pulled lead twice, and outscored her opponents by 3 points.
Texas is next in action on September 6 against Bay Area; Gotham will next be seen at the 2009 Eastern Regionals tournament, kicking off September 11.

Not so long ago Newcastle United were in danger of the dreaded drop for the second time in the space of 5 years. As the Newcastle ship is steered clear of safety and up into the upper reaches of the Premier League maybe its fair to ask, what has changed?
Firstly of course, the new signings. Sissoko, Debuchy, Gouffran and Haidara all adding much needed depth and quality to the side, which had previously seen a number of youngsters making the step up perhaps a tad early. The impact of the French recruits could not have been more evident in the 3-2 victory over Chelsea last Saturday. Midfielder Moussa Sissoko grabbing a brace to steal the 3 points from the European Champions with valuable performances coming from Gouffran and Debuchy also.
Perhaps a reason which may have been overlooked is the change of system Alan Pardew seems to have adopted over the past few games. A 4-2-3-1 formation makes best use of the assets available to him, maintaining possession and using it effectively. This was not the case earlier in the season with a 4-4-2 formation becoming a regular feature in the side, thus meaning a very flat and predictable team which struggled for creativity. The introduction of the new formation frees up players like Sissoko, Cabaye and Gouffran, meaning a more fluent style of play most suited to the players at the club. Players like Vurnon Anita were not brought to the club to play direct, route one football and this has finally been realised (half way through the season however.) The much needed solidarity of the formation in defence has also been clear to see with only two Chelsea wonder goals managing to find a way past Tim Krul on Saturday.
The return of injured players such as; Cabaye and Taylor has also helped Newcastle regain form. Not many teams can lose such players and not feel severely weakened. Injuries have not been kind for Newcastle but with the return of key players, form will find itself.
A break from the added pressure of the Europa League has also aided the sides recovery. Having a full week to prepare for matches and that added rest is clearly doing Newcastle the world of good. Newcastle restart their campaign soon and it will be interesting to see how they adapt to this challenge.
Lastly the feel good factor is finally back at St James’ Park! The ground was buzzing at the weekend and the players finally seem to be enjoying their football once again. Long may it continue.
Only time will tell whether Newcastle can maintain this form and how far it can take them.

IRVING — Laurent Robinson had the breakout performance of his five-year NFL career Sunday in only his second game with the Cowboys.
But almost all of the 78,122 fans inside Cowboys Stadium had no idea just how special it was for Robinson and his mother.
Linda Brown flew in from her home in Cape Canaveral, Fla., and was in the stands to watch her son. Robinson was a surprise starter at receiver over Kevin Ogletree and didn’t disappoint, finishing with seven catches for a career-high 116 yards against Detroit in place of the injured Miles Austin.
Robinson and his teammates were decked out in pink cleats and pink gloves for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Brown had on a pink Cowboys shirt in the stands.
After a few catches, Robinson pointed up into the stands at his mother, then pointed at his pink gloves and finally pounded his chest above his heart.
Brown, now a 12-year survivor of breast cancer, described the mother-and-son moment as one of a kind.
“That just meant the world to me, because he knows the struggle I went through,” Brown said. “It was a special day for me. It was awesome.”

I suspect there is scarcely a young man rich and thoughtful who is not ready to feel our Lord’s treatment of this young man hard. He is apt to ask, “Why should it be difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven?” He is ready to look upon this as an arbitrary decree, arising from some prejudice in the divine mind. Why should the rich fare differently? They do not perceive that the law is they shall fare like other people, whereas they want to fare as rich people. The rich man does not by any necessity belong to the kingdom of Satan, but into that kingdom he is especially welcome, whereas into the kingdom of heaven he will be just as welcome as any other man.
I suspect that many a rich man turns from this story with a resentful feeling. To the man born to riches they seem not merely a natural, but an essential condition of well-being; and the man who has made his money feels it by the labor of his soul, the travail of the day, and the care of the night. Each feels a right to have and to hold. Why should he not “make the best of both worlds?” He would compromise, and serve Mammon a little and God much. He would not put the lower in utter subservience to the higher by casting away the treasure of this world and taking the treasure of heaven instead. He would gain as little as may be of heaven—but something, with the loss of as little as possible of the world. That which he desires of heaven is not its best; that which he would not yield of the world is its most worthless.

That is a good question.
He doesn't have a nose. The band-aids are to cover the whole in his face.
Perhaps I will explore the reasons for his lack of nose within a comic. He either cut it off himself in one of his worse hallucinogenic trances, or he had an accident of some kind. Or maybe he was born that way.

Be God's Masterpiece
Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. Psalm 86:8
Whenever you view an outstanding work of art or read an exceptional book, undoubtedly, it makes you think of the creator of such masterpieces. Most likely, you held these individuals in high esteem. Nothing speaks so loudly about a creator as his or her creation.
And so it is with God. However, as awesome as God is, not everyone has come to that realization. We, as God's greatest masterpieces, can speak volumes about our Creator to those who do not know Him yet.
In Psalm 86 we read, "Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours." This verse affirms that there is no god like our God. In addition, the second part of the verse exclaims that God's "deeds" are the greatest. The Jewish sages explain that God's greatest deed, or more accurately, God's greatest creation, is humanity.
God took a purely physical substance that is naturally drawn to earthliness and selfishness, and imbued it with a divine spark whose longing is to return to its source. It is only due to God's constant intervention that this divine aspect remains attached to the physical body and the result is magnificent.
I recently read about a 21-year-old girl named Morgan who was pulling out of a parking lot when she spotted a man in a wheelchair struggling to make it to the store's front door. She also noticed he had a missing leg and government-issued combat boots. She correctly discerned that this man was a veteran. Even though she had many things to do, Morgan got out of her car. She approached the man who reluctantly allowed her to push him into the store.
After some talking and gentle prodding, the man shared that he had just lost his wife. Morgan insisted on buying the man's groceries, far more than the four items on his list. She also ordered a cab and gave him all the cash she had on her, thanking him for his sacrifice for her freedom. By the time Morgan was done, the man was in tears, but his soul rejoiced.
Morgan is an example of the masterpiece God intended when He created us. We all can serve as beautiful creations of our Creator, bringing glory to His name. Every time we extend kindness to a stranger or help someone else, we exhibit the beauty of a divine soul in a physical body.
This week, let us actively look for ways to bring glory to God's name. Let us be stunning examples of His creation so that others may come to know Him as the great Creator and Sustainer that He is.
Be God's Masterpiece,

The Women's March, the #MeToo movement...the next big event in what many are calling a "sea change" in women's issues could very well arise in the area of employee pay. Is your Company ready? Unlike other discrimination laws, the Equal Pay Act places the burden on employers to prove that a pay decision was made for a non-discriminatory reason. Attend this session to learn about this and other laws that prohibit unequal pay for equal work, the importance of creating and maintaining documentation supporting pay decisions to help defend claims, and ways to proactively address this issue in your workplace.

A pair of new games are available from Renegade Game Studios today. Time Chasers is a trick-taking game where you can actually go back and change cards you played in a previous trick. That should shake things up a bit. Meanwhile, in Bargain Quest, you open up your own shop, looking to supply all the adventurers in the region with the best gear. You can pick up both now.Discuss
Games. We pretty much all play them.
Promo items. We pretty much all want them.
Renegade Game Studios is once more giving us both of those in their Level Up Loot 2 box, filled with promos for their various games Want to get one? Ask your LGS about ordering one.Discuss
I think all of us wish we could control time. We could speed up the things we don't want to do and slow down the things we're enjoying. You could even bounce around to different places in time. And that's what you'll do in Time Chase, in a way. It's a trick-taking game where you can even go back to previous Tricks in order to try and win them. Renegade Game Studios is taking pre-orders for this new game now.Discuss

History Egyptian Merneptah & Ra Valley Kings Sculptural wall relief plaque Neo-Mfg 10"
SIZE: 10" tall x 7" wide
This relief is from the tomb of the pharaoh Merneptah in the Valley of the Kings. It shows the pharaoh with the sun god Ra. Ra is shown as a man with a falcon's head and the sun on his head, with a cobra around it.
Merneptah is shown wearing the blue and yellow striped nemes headdress. On top of that is another crown, which is a mix of different things. It has a stripy version of Osiris's crown (the pharaoh's white crown plus two ostrich feathers); it has two cobras with suns on their heads; and it has ram's horns.
Merneptah was the sun of Rameses II, a very famous pharaoh. Merneptah ruled from about 1213 to 1204BC, so only 9 years. He was about 70 when he became pharaoh, as his father had lived to the very old age of 92.
The tomb was excavated in 1903 by Howard Carter, the archaeologist who found Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Like the rest of the tombs it had been robbed in ancient times, and there were only a few remains of the funerary furniture, and the enormous stone sarcophagus.
This relief appears on the wall not far from the entrance, and is an example of the superb craftsmanship of this period.
The original is shown in the last photo
Color is Aged Stone faux. We offer many custom color finishes like Silver Leaf, Bronze, Bronze with Patina, Aged stone, Pewter, Copper

We need to find ways to disengage temporarily and recharge ourselves.
Caregiving is tricky because it’s easy to burn yourself out taking care of someone else.
Reggie Gooch took care of his wife of 76 years, Millie, everyday around the clock after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
His deep love for her kept him going. But after years of emotional and physical demands, “I don’t think I could have gone on much longer,” Gooch told ABC News.
Even at 98, Gooch arose every morning to have breakfast ready for Millie at 4:30 a.m. and stayed with her all day until 10 p.m. His own social life and activities ground to a halt.
“You take on the pain of others and suffer, all bottled up, angry and suppressing feelings,” Patricia Smith, co-founder of the Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project, told ABC News. “Your impulse is to rescue. You don’t have any personal boundaries, but you become isolated and lose your self-care in the process.”
More than 65 million Americans are providing care for someone who is chronically ill or disabled and spend an average of 20 hours a week looking after a loved one, according to the National Alliance for Caregiving in collaboration with AARP.
That’s a lot of self-inflicted pain when you focus on others without caring for yourself. A long list of debilitating symptoms can follow.
Described as a kind of “soul sadness” by Colleen Breen, the author of “Making Changes: A Guidebook for Managing Life's Challenges,” an inner, core reality closes down when people “become so overwhelmed by the needs and concerns of others that they forget to take care of themselves,” says the Hazeldon Betty Ford Foundation.
Breen says that during more than 25 years as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist in Minneapolis and St. Paul she has worked with thousands of caregivers who have overtaxed themselves to the point of “caregiving shutdown.”
They often become withdrawn and joyless, irritable, depressed, uninterested in intimacy and sex, and feel like they're "just going through the motions" of their lives with no sense of purpose or meaning, she says. They might also turn to what Breen calls "negative coping skills," like smoking, drinking, drug use, or other addictive behaviors.
She says caregivers should adopt some kind of physical regimen to deal with what happens to their mind and body, and take care of their inner selves with quiet time that enables solitude and contemplation.
Hobbies, engaging in the arts, and listening to music are some good examples of ways to tend your soul, Breen says.
Since compassion fatigue has all the hallmarks of addiction, many tenets of a 12-step program apply, especially reaching out to others for regular help and support. It’s equally important that you express your concern to someone you care about when you see the symptoms of compassion fatigue engulfing them.
“There is a lot to take in. Giving oneself permission to take a break for a short time and taking care of oneself, may not only help the caregiver but may also provide a role model of self-care for the patient,” says a Psychology Today report.
Taking a break might be just stopping and “feeling one’s body,” asking the (person being cared for) to slow down, taking a deep breath, or making a small movement. Those are forms of regulating the nervous system and decreasing the stress of working with traumatized (people), the report adds.
"There is this myth that we have unlimited energy; but we are not Energizer Bunnies," says Breen. "We can't just keep going and going and going, giving and giving and giving. Self-care is a way to charge our inner batteries so we can continue caring for others."

Paytm Money sees half a million users sign up to buy mutual funds
Although Paytm is accepting advance registrations, it has not opened the mutual fund shop to public yet
Mumbai: More than half a million users have signed up to buy mutual funds (MFs) on Paytm Money, which is nearing launch, a top company official said. The digital platform from Paytm Money Ltd, a subsidiary of One97 Communications Ltd, goes live by the end of this month. One97 also owns Paytm mobile wallet, which claims to have 300 million users, and Paytm Payments Bank. Although Paytm is accepting advance registrations, it has not opened the mutual fund shop to the public yet.
“We are testing the app internally with many key employees—they are buying and selling MFs already as we speak—and will be going live very soon. People with early registrations are just invited to register; they will be able to transact once we launch,” Pravin Jadhav, whole-time director, Paytm Money, said in an interview.
Jadhav did not reveal how many fund houses will be present on Paytm Money, but two industry officials said on condition of anonymity at least 15 fund houses have tied up with Paytm Money.
In April, executives from two small fund houses said that Paytm Money was not keen on signing them up in the first phase, despite their interest in the platform. However, Paytm Money seems to have changed its stance since then, with chiefs of two funds confirming, on condition of anonymity, that they have now signed up with Paytm Money.
Jadhav said big or small, once a fund house comes on board, all its schemes will be available for purchase. Those who signed up early will get to start buying first. Paytm Money is expected to enhance mutual fund distribution in small towns, or beyond top 30 (B30) towns, in industry parlance.
Jadhav said Paytm Money will offer only direct plans. All mutual funds offer direct as well as regular plans. While a distributor plan comes embedded with distributor commission (since they are sold by distributors), direct plans do not have distributor commissions and are, therefore, cheaper. Direct plans are meant for investors who want to invest in a fund house directly or go through a Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) registered investment adviser (RIA).
Since Paytm Money is an RIA, it can sell only direct plans. An RIA is allowed to charge fees.
Although Jadhav declined to comment on fee structure, an industry executive said in its initial days, Paytm Money will waive all fees. Yet, it remains to be seen if Paytm Money will be the Reliance Jio moment for mutual funds.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Suni, one of the last northern white rhinos in the world, was found dead in his boma (hut) on Friday at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, in Kenya’s Laikipia region.
According to a statement from Ol Pejeta, it is thought that he passed away from natural causes, although the Kenya Wildlife Service veterinarians have not yet conducted their post mortem examination. They did confirm that he was not killed by poachers. Suni was 34, and his father died of natural causes at the same age eight years ago.
With Suni’s death there are now only six northern white rhinos remaining in conservancies. He was one of the last two breeding males left–and only two breeding females remain–which makes the endangered species even more vulnerable to extinction.
But the conservancy won’t give up without a fight: “We will continue to do what we can to work with the remaining three animals on Ol Pejeta in the hope that our efforts will one day result in the successful birth of a northern white rhino calf.”
Learn more about Suni in this article by The Telegraph.

The course was held at the FAU University in Erlangen, Germany and covered all classic and modern aspects of carbonate sedimentology. Lectures on different topics of carbonates, given by professors from several German Universities were intensified by microscopy exercises. The main focus of the course is on recent developments in carbonate sedimentology with applications. The Geo Center in Erlangen owns a world renowned, one-of-a-kind collection of carbonate thin-sections and sediment samples. This famous international course is well known worldwide. Until today, 1500 colleagues from academia and industry already attended the course. This year five AGEO BSc and MSc students Husam Al-Rawahi, Ali Al-Hajri, Marwa Al-Riyami, Shamsa Al-Brashdi, Reem Al-Tuqi received scholarships and travelled to Germany to attend the course. This course provided an exciting experience to our students by working and studying in an international environment and prepared the high performing students interested in Carbonate Reservoir Geology and Limestone Industry.

Audi PB18 E-tron – Powerful Performance with Three Electric Motors and Quattro Drive. 2018 Audi PB18 E-tron Concept Car – Drive, Interior and Exterior. Subscribe.
#Audi #PB18 #Etron #PB18Etron
The concept uses three powerful electric motors – one up front and two in the rear. The latter are centrally located between the steering knuckles, each directly driving one wheel via half-shafts. They deliver power output of up to 150 kW to the front axle and 350 kW to the rear – the Audi PB18 e-tron is a true quattro, of course. Maximum output is 500 kW, with boosting, the driver can temporarily mobilize up to 570 kW. The combined torque of up to 830 newton meters (612.2 lb-ft) allows acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in scarcely more than 2 seconds – a speed that differs only marginally from that of a current LMP1 prototype.
In normal road traffic, the driver can limit the maximum speed in favor of range. This limitation is easy to deactivate on the racetrack and can be adapted to local conditions.
The focus is on not just powerful performance but also maximum efficiency. While being driven, the Audi PB18 e-tron recovers large amounts of energy: up to moderate braking, the electric motors are solely responsible for decelerating the vehicle. The hydraulic brakes only come into play for heavy braking.
The concept of separate electric motors on the rear axle offers major advantages when it comes to sporty handling. The Torque Control Manager, which works together with the Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC), actively distributes the power to the wheels of the front and rear axles as needed. This torque control provides for maximum dynamics and stability. Thanks to the virtually instantaneous response of the electric motors, the control actions are lightning-quick. The drive concept of the Audi PB18 e-tron adapts perfectly to every situation, whether involving transverse or longitudinal dynamics.
The liquid-cooled solid-state battery has an energy capacity of 95 kWh. A full charge provides for a range of over 500 kilometers (310.7 miles) in the WLTP cycle. The Audi PB18 e-tron is already designed for charging with a voltage of 800 volts. This means the battery can be fully recharged in about 15 minutes.
The Audi PB18 e-tron can also be charged cordlessly via induction with Audi Wireless Charging (AWC). This is done by placing a charging pad with integral coil on the floor where the car is to be parked, and connecting it to the power supply. The alternating magnetic field induces an alternating voltage in the secondary coil fitted in the floor of the car, across the air gap.
The Audi PB18 e-tron package follows the traditional architecture of a mid-engine sports car with a cab that is positioned far forward. The car’s center of gravity is located behind the seats and in front of the rear axle – which benefits the driving dynamics. This does not involve the engine-transmission unit, as in a car with a conventional drive system, but rather the battery pack.
A mix of aluminum, carbon and multi-material composites ensures the body of the Audi PB18 e-tron has a low basic weight. Not least thanks to the innovative and comparatively light solid-state battery, a total weight of less than 1,550 kg (3,417.2 lb) can be expected.
The PB18 e-tron is 4.53 meters long, 2 meters wide and just 1.15 meters tall (14.5 x 6.4 x 4.6 ft). These dimensions alone speak of a classical sports car. The wheelbase is 2.70 meters (8.9 ft) and the overhangs are compact. Viewed from the side, the eye is drawn to the gently sloping roof line which is pulled far to the back and features massive C-pillars. Together with the large and almost vertical rear window, this design is reminiscent of a shooting brake concept – the synthesis of a coupé with the rear of a station wagon. The result is not only a distinctive silhouette but also, with 470 liters (16.6 cubic ft), a clear bonus in terms of cargo space – usually a deficit in sports cars. An exclusive luggage set customized to fit the cargo space helps to make optimum use of the luggage compartment – even if the luggage in this car frequently consists of nothing but a helmet and racing overall.
A flat red band of lights extends across the entire width of the rear and underscores the horizontal orientation of the vehicle body. The cabin, placed on the broad shoulders of the wheel arches, appears almost dainty from the rear. The rear diffuser air outlet has been raised high – another functional feature borrowed from motorsport. The diffuser can be moved downward mechanically to increase downforce. The rear spoiler, which normally is fixed, can be extended rearward for the same purpose.

Time Goes Backward On Planet of the Apes (comments by Mark R. Leeper):
One thing I have to say for the "Planet of the Apes" reboot. It is respectful of the traditions of the original series. In that series, CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES came before BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES. Now we all knew that in the natural order of things that if there was no conquest there would no longer be a need for a battle. In the new series THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES came before THE DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. The dawn should come before the rise. [-mrl]
My Picks for Turner Classic Movies for December (comments by Mark R. Leeper):
[Note: all times given are Eastern Standard Time.]
I once posed a trivia question for my friends. Can you name a sports film other than ROCKY that won the Best Picture Academy Award? Not many people could name it, but the answer is BEN-HUR (1959). Some of my friends insisted that BEN-HUR does not count as a sports film. I was told it is only a small part of the film. I put on the movie with a stopwatch and more than sixty minutes of the film is chariot race, preparation for the chariot race, aftermath of the chariot race, people talking about the chariot race, etc. etc. etc. There are noted sports films that do not have that much about sports. If you look at the poster of the film it depicts the titanic racetrack, a team of horses running on the track, and a confused charioteer driving even more confused horses clockwise--the wrong direction--around the track. One horse is looking wistfully in the direction he was meant to go.
But what I wanted to point out is that TCM is not just running BEN-HUR (1959). They are also showing the original 1925 film. One would think that with the huge budget that the 1959 film had that it would have the more spectacular chariot race. There is no good measure for the degree of spectacle, but a lot of people are convinced they did better in 1925. But at what a price! I learn from Kevin Hagopian at Pennsylvania State University that in the shooting over one hundred horses were killed. One stunt man was killed and Ramon Navarro who was playing Ben-Hur was himself nearly killed. Those were the days really took filmmaking seriously. One of the extras working on the film was William Wyler who went on to direct the 1959 version.
See: http://tinyurl.com/void-ben-hur-25-notes> Hopefully the ASPCA would not let this kind of atrocity happen these days. The 1925 film will be shown Monday, December 21, at 12:00 AM (midnight between Sunday and Monday). The remake will be shown Wednesday, December 23, at 6:30 AM.
If you are looking for something a little unusual, TCM will show Louis Malle's BLACK MOON (1975). I have no recollection of ever having seen it, but writer/director Louis Malle has done some really excellent films like ATLANTIC CITY. BLACK MOON is a sci-fi fantasy about a future war between men and women. A girl hides in a farmhouse and finds she has gone from one strange world to another. [Sunday, December 20, 4:15 AM]
Oh, and on Tuesday, December 29, from 6:30 AM to 8 PM TCM will be doing another tribute to the great Ray Harryhausen.
6:30 AM IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA (1955) 8:00 AM 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH (1957) 9:45 AM VALLEY OF GWANGI, THE (1969) 11:30 AM ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. (1966) 1:15 PM MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1961) 3:00 PM EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS (1956) 4:30 PM 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, THE (1958) 6:15 PM JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963)
Now I usually pick what I think is the best film of the month. That would probably be a repeat of something I have recommended in the past. Instead, let's say that near the top is the film that introduced a lot of film fans to Martin Scorsese. It is MEAN STREETS (1973). Scorsese co-wrote the script and directed this film strongly inspired by the people he grew up with. [Tuesday, December 22, 3:30 AM]
The Law of Unintended Consequences (comments by Evelyn C. Leeper):
Mark related a story he heard on a podcast recently. Sellers on amazon.com in general want to be sure they stay competitive with other people selling the same items, yet do not want to under-price their items. So they use an "automatic repricer"--a program that automatically checks what the other vendors are selling your items for and adjusts your price accordingly. When two vendors each have a repricer, and each says to make his price the lowest, unless one sets a floor to his price, they will both end up at $0.01.
But how do you explain the opposite phenomenon? That is, someone noticed that they was a biology book with two vendors listed by both at something like $23,000,000. I don't care *how* good the book is, that seems a tad high.
One seller (call him Adam) wants to have the lowest price, so he tells his repricer to set his price at 0.99830 of the lowest price. The other seller (call him Bob) thinks his rating and reputation will attract buyers, so he tells his repricer to set his price at 1.27059 of the lowest price.
So let's assume Adam and Bob have started by each pricing the book at $10. Adam's repricer comes along and resets his price to $9.98. Then Bob's repricer resets his price to $12.68. In the next cycle, Adam's price goes to $12.66, and Bob's goes to $16.09. Cycle #3 has Adam at $16.06 and Bob at $20.41. You can see where this is going; after 62 iterations both are somewhere about $24,000,000.
Which goes to prove that no matter how good individual plans are, combining them can have unexpected consequences.
CIBOLA BURN by James S.A. Corey (copyright 2014, Orbit, $17.00, 611pp, ISBN 978-0-316-33468-6) (excerpt from the Duel Fish Codices: a book review by Joe Karpierz):
The Expanse franchise--and make no mistake, it is a franchise--keeps rolling right along. Originally based on a video game, the Expanse now encompasses five novels (as I write this) with another four coming, several shorter pieces of fiction, and as most people know, an upcoming television series on the SyFy channel.
The train just keeps right on rolling, and I think deservedly so. There's a quote from George R.R. Martin on the front cover that says "Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." While that's true, I think the statement could be modified to read "...the way it used to be written". I think a lot of us who have been reading science fiction for a very long time have lost the sense of wonder--probably due to age and becoming jaded more than anything else--and are glomming on to the Expanse as a return to their youth and what turned them on to the field in the first place. And while science fiction writing today is far superior and much more literary than what it was back in its infancy, it's good to go back to the kind of story that we grew up with. But the difference between the Expanse and stuff from the good old days is, in my opinion, the quality of writing. The Expanse is proof that you can have space opera adventure that is well written and that can stand up to the rest of the field.
CIBOLA BURN is the fourth novel in the series, and the first to take place outside the Solar System. The events of ABADDON'S GATE have, well, opened the gates to distant space and the thousands of new worlds that promise a new life for folks trying to start over. The novel takes place on one of these planets. Independent settlers have reached New Terra, and are starting new lives there. Royal Charter Energy, however, is the U.N. sanctioned settler of that planet, and a shuttle is getting ready to land. The settlers blow up the landing pad, taking the shuttle and the lives of several people on it, including that of the assigned planetary governor, with it. And thus, the conflict central to the novel, is set up. The settlers think the planet is rightfully theirs--they got there first and have been setting up their colony. RCE is sanctioned by the government back home, and so it legally claims the planet as theirs.
RCE and its security people view the settlers as terrorists, since many of RCE folks were killed in the shuttle explosion, and use a heavy hand in trying to take control of the planet. The settlers just want to live their lives in peace, but can't since RCE's security goon, Murtry does not hesitate to kill any settler who gets out of line. Things have gotten so out of control that the U.N. sends in a mediator.
What, you were wondering how James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante fit in to this? You mean you can't picture Holden as a mediator? That's all right, no one else can either.
Things don't start well when Holden meets the assembled group for the first time, and it really goes downhill from there. Tensions and violence escalate as neither side will give ground. And then things get worse. While all this action has been occurring, what has been relegated to the background--and maybe even forgotten--is the fact that the race that created the protomolecule (you remember the protomolecule, don't you?), the very race that closed the gates in an attempt to stop the race that was killing them from spreading throughout the galaxy, has a role in this story.
CIBOLA BURN is certainly a planetary colonization adventure story. It's also a study of human perseverance and struggle, and, eventually, of cooperation and compromise in the face of planetary disaster. It's also a story of romance, of family, and of caring people. We've never seen Jim Holden in this light before, trying to be a peacemaker rather than a rabble rouser--and he handles it really well. The rest of the crew of the Rocinante, while not banished to the background, do not play as big a role in this story as they have in the previous three books. But they are there, and they make important contributions. And let's not forget Miller. I'll leave the reader to figure out what's going on with Miller.
CIBOLA BURN is another worthy entry in the Expanse universe, and I'm told that the next novel, NEMESIS GAMES, is even better. I'm looking forward to seeing what Corey has in store for us there. [-jak]
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON by Daniel Keyes (copyright 1966 Daniel Keyes, 1998 Recorded Books LLC, 8 hours 58 minutes, narrated by Jeff Woodman) (excerpt from the Duel Fish Codices: an audiobook review by Joe Karpierz):
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON, by Daniel Keyes, is one of the acknowledged classics of the science fiction field. First published as a short story in 1959, Keyes expanded it to a novel which was published in 1966. The short story won the 1960 Hugo Award in the Short Fiction category, while the novel won the Nebula Award for Best Novel, along with Samuel R. Delany's BABEL-17. The 1968 movie CHARLY, based on the novel won Cliff Robertson the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Charlie Gordon. It is taught in schools all over the country; indeed, my son and I were talking about it the other day and he informed me that he had to read it in school.
My first encounter with the story was the movie CHARLY. I have almost no recollection of the movie, other than a vague memory of feeling very sad at the end. I know there is a paperback copy of FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON somewhere in the room of our house that holds our paperback collection, but I have no memory of reading it. When I was rummaging through my audiobook downloads on my iPod and spotted the audiobook of it, I decided it was time to give it a listen.
Charlie Gordon is a mentally disabled adult. He has an IQ of 68, and works at a job in a bakery which his uncle got for him so he wouldn't have to live in a mental institution. Several days a week he goes to night classes in order to learn to read and write. Charlie is eager to learn to read and write. He has a deep thirst for knowledge, but of course his condition prevents him from attaining the knowledge he seeks. Two researchers, Doctors Nemur and Strauss, have developed an experimental surgery that appears to dramatically increase the intelligence of lab animals. One such animal, the titular mouse Algernon, has given the researchers great confidence that the surgery could work on human beings. Based on Charlie's teacher Alice Kinnian's recommendation, they select Charlie as their human subject. His drive for knowledge has won him the spot over other more intelligent but disabled students.
The gist of the rest of the story, as almost everyone knows, is that Charlie's IQ skyrockets in a short period of time. He loses his job at the bakery because his coworkers are afraid of him. He learns multiple languages, composes music, becomes an expert in multiple sciences, and becomes more intelligent than Nemur and Strauss. Gordon has a relationship with Alice, but soon he becomes too intelligent for her; more accurately, she is beneath him. The relationship ends. Eventually, Gordon embarks upon research which results in him discovering a flaw in the experiment. Soon after that discovery Algernon's behavior becomes erratic and violent, and he eventually dies.
It is emphatically not a spoiler to say that Gordon himself begins deteriorating, losing his high IQ, vast intelligence, and the ability to read and write. He reverts to the way he was before the surgery and eventually goes to an institution where a place had been prepared for him. He leaves a note asking that whoever is reading it please place flowers on Algernon's grave.
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON is a truly powerful, emotional, and gut wrenching story of one man's rise and fall. It is told in the form of progress reports, which Charlie makes at the request of Nemur and Strauss as a way of documenting everything that occurs to him. It is masterfully done. Narrator Jeff Woodman does an excellent job of taking us from the "retarded" Charlie through the genius Charlie and all the way back down again. The rhythm of speech, the vocabulary, the tone of voice, all document what is going on with Charlie from start to finish. When I finally got to the end, thoroughly knowing exactly what was coming, I certainly was sad and was very nearly teary-eyed as I was driving in to work.
Still, I had a few problems with the book. In the previous paragraph I put quotes around the word retarded. I do realize this book is the product of its time, so it must be given some leeway, but terms like retarded and moron, used to medically describe Charlie's condition, grated on me a bit. They weren't considered insulting back in the day, and of course they are now, and it shows how much a product of my time that I am that even though, given the context of the time of the novel the terms should be acceptable, they weren't to me.
The maturation and growth of Charlie Gordon is shown in a series of recovered memories, which first start with him realizing his "friends" at the bakery were really making fun of him all along. We see his strained relationship with his parents--and their strained relationship with each other as they try to come to terms with raising a mentally handicapped individual--how he was treated on the playground, how his early interactions with women were, in a term, messed up, because of the way his mother treated him.
These are all terrific storytelling elements, but it felt like they went on and on and on to the point where when it was evident that another memory flashback was coming, I cringed and hoped it would be over quickly. In fact, if this book has a flaw, it's that it seems padded. I never read the original short story, but I'm guessing that it benefitted from being expanded, but maybe not into a full length novel.
Having said all that, FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON is a wonderful story of a man growing up too slow, then too fast, and then losing it all when he finally had it. It's a roller coaster worth riding. [-jak]
Wine Clubs (letter of comment by Kevin R):
In response to Mark's comments on the TCM Wine Club in the 11/20/15 issue of the MT VOID, Kevin R writes:
LOST WEEKEND, THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES and LEAVING LAS VEGAS call for such vintages as the always dependable Night Train, the delightful "Mad Dog", Mogen David 20/20, and the insouciant Ripple.
The obvious spin-off is a Theater Candy Club. They can send out overpriced versions of Jordan Almonds, Jujubes and Raisinettes. I fear they might try to sell the ersatz "butter" concession stands spray on the popcorn. *>shudder<*
The Dollar Tree stores in my area have nice selections of boxed candy such as Goobers, Raisinettes and Sno-Cap Nonpariels that stand in for movie theater boxed candy nicely. [-kr]
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Television Show (letter of comment by Gary McGath):
In response to Evelyn's comments on MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE in the 11/20/15 issue of the MT VOID, Gary McGath writes:
[Evelyn writes,] "And of course the whole premise that this force can choose to refuse jobs makes one wonder what exactly their status is." [-ecl]
There could be a spinoff, "Mission: Undesirable," about the jobs that they have to find someone else to do. [-gmg]
Subtitles (letters of comment by Peter Trei, Kevin R, and Paul Dormer):
In response to Mark's comments on subtitles in the 11/20/15 issue of the MT VOID, Peter Trei writes:
I spent part of the 1960s and 1970s growing up in Europe. Depending on country size and budget, American TV and movies were either dubbed, or subtitled. So I had it the other way around--I could understand the language, and check the subtitles for accuracy. But visibility was rarely a problem--in most cases, it was white letters on a solid black bar, as wide as the text. The extreme case was Belgium, with two major official languages, Flemish and French. Movies would have up to four lines of subtitles, two in each language, occupying the bottom quarter of the screen, with gaps between the lines. Dubbing sometimes got a little weird too--I remember a French dub of a John Wayne movie, with the voice actor doing his very best to imitate the Duke's drawl. It didn't work. [-pt]
Kevin R responds:
I was watching NBC-TV's BLINDSPOT* in real time the other night. The FBI agents had captured an undercover Russian agent, and were interrogating her, in a room painted in that institutional white/beige that allows the characters to stand out in sharp relief from the background. At one point, the main character decided to try to engage the prisoner by questioning her in Russian. Subtitles were used, colored yellow and superimposed, in the same shot, on the white walls, a black sweater and a light colored shirt. Before I could get my eyes to focus on the text, it had disappeared from the screen. I don't have a DVR or any "instant replay" tech with my rudimentary cable hookup, so I missed it, and had to depend on the context.
I watch on a 32" set, which is several years old, and I sit about 15' away from the screen. My distance vision is good enough to not have to use glasses when I drive, but I need them for reading and close work. So, I usually don't wear them while watching TV. I expect I need to get my eyes checked to see if I could use some bi- or tri-focals. If I knew I was going to read sub-titles, I might have been prepared with glasses at the ready.
Shows that spring subtitles on you when you aren't expecting to see them seem to do a lousy job. I'm sure what strikes me as tiny type size wouldn't have bothered me 40 years ago, though. I also have trouble with some graphics on sports programming, specifically the score bugs shoved in the corner of the screen. They make me reach for glasses. Crawls and newstickers on the bottom of a screen I can usually make out unaided, as they will have a uniform background color.
Subs are in the 3rd segment. Watching on my laptop, with my reading glasses, I can follow them, but the yellow text on alternating bright and dark backgrounds is still annoying. [-kr]
Paul Dormer replies:
I'm not sure I'd want to sit that far away from a 32-inch screen, and my optician tells my distance vision does not require correction.
Then again, I have an HD set and for that they recommend sitting about 2-3 times the screen size away. I have a 40-inch (1m) screen and sit about 2.5m away from it. [-pd]
The Marching Morons (letter of comment by Kerr Mudd-John):
In response to Evelyn's comments on "The Marching Morons" in the 11/13/15 issue of the MT VOID, Kerr Mudd-John writes:
This might be where DNA got his idea for the 'B' ark from. http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Golgafrincham. [-kmj]
Candidates (letter of comment by Jim Susky):
In response to Evelyn's comments on Presidential candidates in the 11/06/15 issue of the MT VOID, Jim Susky writes:
I read with interest Evelyn's (probably ironic) 2015NOV06 plea for Presidential candidates who are rational--that is, scientifically informed (if only marginally so), and understand the impracticality of certain extreme immigration policy prescriptions. So far, not a high bar. She also wants "candidates who recognize what the Constitution says"--perhaps a slightly higher bar.
Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders would seem to qualify, and perhaps Governor Bush. Senator Rand Paul, as an ophthalmologist (and therefore at least a technician if not a scientist) may well be scientifically informed. My impression is that he has the most respect for the Constitution of all the known candidates (see GOP Debate #1 where he bludgeoned Christie about 4th Amendment and prohibited searches and seizures). He also seems to have addressed specifically and in writing the Federal Deficit--my own single-biggest-issue--proposing to balance it within five years.
I'll digress for a moment and blow the dust off Gregory Benford's 2004 proposal to implement a $20-billion Fresnel lens at the L1 Earth-Sun LaGrange point, which would diffract about 1/2% to 1% of Sol's radiation from the Earth. This speaks to the idea that what to do about Climate Change is by far more important that what one believes about it.
Such a project has several advantages:
1) It is reversible, possibly even adjustable.
2) It is cheap--at least two orders of magnitude cheaper than CO2 conservation/prohibition, seawall construction, and numerous other responses to the global warming trend.
3) It may even be the most politically feasible project addressing climate change--requiring one Nation's effort (ours, of course).
Kudos to Benford--if only he had a big enough checkbook to do it in secret.
I'll confess to a fantasy: In 2017, President Paul is presented with (to him) unacceptable budgets and tax bills. He vetoes both--tells the houses to try again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
(See his pounding of Rubio in GOP Debate #4 saying there is nothing conservative about spending a trillion dollars on the military without finding a way to pay for it.)
To my mind, federal fiscal sanity is the 800-pound gorilla in America. I listen too much to BBC radio. They made it quite clear this summer that Greece was on the edge of a nation-wide banking failure, which for poor and middle-class Greeks would make the current refugee crisis seem at least a little trivial. [-js]
This Week's Reading (book comments by Evelyn C. Leeper):
I have two big book-buying/acquisition periods a year. The first is the week in the spring when Bryn Mawr and the East Brunswick Friends of the Library have their book sales. The other is Philcon weekend in November, when if the stars (and weekends) align, as they did this year, the Cherry Hill Friends of the Library have their book sale the same weekend.
But before either Philcon or Cherry Hill, we go to the Cranbury Bookworm. It is almost right on the way, so it is really a no-brainer. The plan is simply: take all the science fiction we are getting rid of, sell what we can to the Bookworm, then take the rest to Philcon and put it out on the freebie table. We always take our payment at the Bookworm in store credit, so we do acquire books (and DVDs) there, but the goal is to take out a smaller *volume* of books than we leave there.
By the way, here's a tip I just discovered: the plastic bucket that Kirkland (Costco) laundry detergent comes in is almost perfect for carrying books. The size is such that it is a reasonable weight when filled, it has a good handle, and (of course) it is free. (Plus using it like this means not sending it to a landfill.). The only problems are rounded (rather than squared-off) edges and two "bumps" in the bottom (to strengthen it?).
This time was the first since the Bookworm changed/simplified its pricing policy. With rare exceptions, all hardbacks are $5, all trade paperbacks are $2, and all mass-market paperbacks are $1. DVDs are $2; television series are $5 a season. The days of the 50- and 60-cent science fiction paperbacks are gone, I guess. (Sob!) We ended up with a season of "West Wing", a season of "Seinfeld", the JEWISH STUDY BIBLE, a bilingual anthology CUENTAS: STORIES BY LATINOS (which includes several fantasy stories), and WHEN GENERAL GRANT EXPELLED THE JEWS by Jonathan D. Sarna.
Then it was on to the Cherry Hill Public Library for their semi-annual Friends of the Library sale. Their pricing is even better (for buyers, anyway) than the Bookworm: $2 for hardbacks and audiobooks, and $1 for paperbacks (any size). We got several math books, four Dean Koontz audiobooks, and a few "curiosities". For example, there was one math book titled "Calculus Refresher for Technical Men"! Well, okay, it was written in 1944, but in addition to being incredibly sexist, it sounds now like an incredibly awkward title. ("Calculus Refresher for Engineers", for example, sounds less awkward.) There was a big oversize Dover volume, THE FOSSIL BOOK: A RECORD OF PREHISTORIC LIFE, list price $29.95--for only $1. But even bigger, and just as interesting (though in a very different way) is THE HISTORY OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION by Leon Trotsky, translated by Max Eastman.
We finally got to the Philcon hotel. By this time, our car was full of pails of books, boxes of books, bags of books, and loose books. Luckily it was reasonably warm and not raining, because it took a while to sort out what needed to come in and what needed to stay in the car.
We put about a hundred books and magazines out on the freebie table, but we also took some books. Again, we met our goal of taking fewer books than we left.
The best books I found there were *two* that were actually on my want list: SHE NAILED A STAKE THROUGH HIS HEAD: TALES OF BIBLICAL TERROR by Tim Lieder, and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST by Stieg Larsson. (We had the first two in the Larsson trilogy.) Paolo Bacigalupi's THE WATER KNIFE was a close third.
The first book I found was INVENTING LEONARDO by A. Richard Turner. The last was Jorge Amado's TEREZA BATISTA, one of the Avon series that people often say defined magical realism. In between were a few others, including the "Martian" issue of POPULAR MECHANICS.
I even got books from the dealers room, because Mark gave me a birthday present of Ellen Datlow's anthology of horror stories related to the film business, THE CUTTING ROOM, and David Stuart Davies's SHERLOCK HOLMES & THE DEVIL'S PROMISE.
Of course when we got home and unpacked the suitcases, pails, boxes, and bags, it looked like our luggage had exploded all over the room, but that another story. (And I still had to sort the non-science fiction Bookworm rejects into Freecycle material, library donations, and various other categories. (The big advantage of Freecycle is that you don't have to cart the books to the library.)
Now that this is done, I get a respite until next March. [-ecl]

The World Trade Organization estimates that more than 65 million people globally are refugees or displaced persons. Beyond the human dimensions of this tragedy, destination and transit countries face enormous financial and social costs in sheltering these people. The global community’s response has mostly been short-term aid, insufficient to support durable solutions.
One notable proposal for providing longer-term support for host and transit countries and their refugee communities is to harness trade relief measures that could provide economically viable solutions.
Venezuela suffers from a profound and multifaceted crisis. Years of mismanagement have led to a crippling economic contraction and an inflation rate projected to reach 1,000,000 percent in 2018. Citizens are chronically short of food and medicine and face some of the world’s highest levels of violence. The governing regime has systematically dismantled democratic checks and balances, consolidating power through fraudulent elections, violent repression and the cynical use of scarcity as a tool of control.

Safe and Stress Free Canoe Trip
If exploring area waterways is on your bucket list — try using a canoe! Not only are they super portable, but they’re relatively inexpensive and beginner-friendly.
Before you head out on your next big adventure, brush up on these tips to keep your canoe trip as safe and stress-free as possible.
Pack the Right Gear
- Lifejacket and floatable cushion
- Extra clothes, sunscreen, a first aid kit, snacks and water (store them in a waterproof bag)
- Rope (to tow people and to tie equipment to the canoe)
Tricks for a Stress-Free Adventure
- Make sure to canoe with at least one other person on calm water, and with three others and another canoe in rougher water.
- Always check the weather. Hold off if the forecast calls for lightening, wind gusts or visibility issues.
- Pack light. The sides of the canoe should be at least six inches above the water when loaded.
- Stay comfortable! Wear synthetic clothes, rather than cotton, especially when it’s cold.
- Prepare for the unexpected. Learn how to flip a canoe when you’re in the water and how to re-enter a swamped canoe.
- Never stand up.
- Use the seats for the steadiest ride.
- Know the water you’re traveling — use a map and a compass in any unexplored water.
- Never attempt rivers or rapids beyond your ability. Don’t be afraid to walk ahead and check it out if you’ve never before traveled those particular rapids.
- If the canoe does tip over, hang on to it and kick swim to shore, if possible. Canoes will typically float, so it’s safer for you to stay with it rather than try to swim to shore alone.
- Get out of a metal canoe immediately if you see lightning.
- Stay near the shoreline instead of crossing a large lake in case you need to take fast action if the weather changes.

Are bluefin paddle boards any good?
The SUP likewise includes a kayak conversion kit which is basically a seat which clips on rings and then you can utilize it by sitting down using it basically like this stp and a kayak also comes which converts into a kayak it includes a separate head that you can connect to the other end so you can utilize it properly like a-kind likewise discovering this SCP to be truly steady as well since it’s rather great and wide so if
Your balance isn’t the best and it’s actually a respectable SUP to opt for and now I’m gon na leap back ashore and show you how simple it is and how quick it is to pump up some terrific features of having an inflatable SUP however to start with they’re extremely easy to shop since you can deflate them and actually put them anywhere they’re extremely light-weight and the fact that you can deflate them and a light weight makes them extremely mobile as well so very easy to take with you on
I’m just under 5 minutes so just under 5 minutes that’s a great exercise however it’s worth it to be honest for the versatility of being able to take the SUP with you in your cars and truck so there you go that’s your test well I hope you enjoyed this belief in inflatable SCP evaluation absolutely like this video if you enjoyed it truly assists our channel grow and if you think a pal or like it as
Messages a great deal of people buying their and undoubtedly there’s more interest in around the and that’s actually what this sub order evaluation is about is to include some of those questions and help you comprehend if the cruise or cruise carbon is the right for you so there’s a couple of in the variety but these are probably two of the most popular sizes we’ve got the 10 foot 8 in the cruise building and construction and we have actually got the 12 foot in the cruise Cartman construction the complete specs for these both are relatively comparable in widths simply over 32 inches large market their as the 10 6 being 83.5 centimetres broad and the 12th foot being 83 centimetres large both are 6 inches thick serves a large quantity of volume in both they both include 2 plus one fin boxes the 10a in the cruse building and construction weighs 12 kilograms and the
Who makes the best inflatable SUP?
Cruise carbon 12 foot here weighs 15 kgs the 10-8 cruise is available online for 499 pounds and the 12 foot cruise carbon is offered online for 899 pounds and keep in mind both these can be found in both these constructions you can discover the 10 8 and the 12 foot in the cruise and the cruise carbon building and construction so what going to do now is we’re going to speak about the buildings and the distinctions in between the cruise and the cruise carbon And also then looking at the 10-8 compared to the 12 foot and then hopefully make you comprehend which will be best for you now it’s clear from the site they have actually put a great deal of work into the products and the manufacturing procedures that enter into these they say the internal core of drop stitch is the densest drop stitch on the market and they have likewise put multiple layers of PVC all warmed
Larger you can pump up that first it still uses up to the very same PSI rating as the beyond the however it gives the general much more stiffness and again and a little bit more to the security because if the beyond your deflates you have still got that in a chamber that remains pumped up the suggested psi for both these is 15 to 18 psi and they have actually got a maximum pressure of 28 psi which is among the highest suggested maximum pressures We’ve seen on any ice up in general so they’re certainly delighted to say go to that level these are truly well made putting all that together does make these fairly stiff when we put these on on a flexion test which is where we put it on a space of 1.5 meters apart and after that we put a weight of 75 kilograms in the middle of the bore and then we measure just how much it drops or the Flex both the are pumped up to 18 psi however the Cruz. Stand Up Paddle Board Princeton
Dropped 7 millimeters so it is a really stiff clearly the products that they put on and around that and the procedure that they’ve done production really does make a difference to the general stiffness and both those were pumped up to 18 psi so let’s talk about the fittings and the features that you’ve got on both these and after that move on to the bundles both the have got action camera mounts up at the front they take A GoPro or they take a ram mount fitting in the center good to have a feature on the constantly great to be shooting if you can bungees on both the up at the nodes the same size a big heavy-duty bungee system up on the nose on the cruise however also the 12th foot variation has actually got the lot of systems at the back also so you can certainly take a bit more load the deck pad has got it all it’s a crocodile skinned Eevee a diamond grip deck pad so it’s.
Are inflatable paddle boards worth the money?
Get a waterproof phone case too so proceeding to what these are like to on the water while both the are wide and good they give a good quantity of width which suggests it’s truly stable the 10a is your more of an all-round sized that’s the sort of that the majority of people are going to go to get into boarding it’s going to be terrific you could catch some small waves you can get your buddies out you could take The kids out put the pet dog on the front simply generally all-round paddling the fundamental distinction between a 10 8 and a 12 foot or a longer is the longer the the more move you’re gon na have the easier it’s going to be to put one paddle stroke in the water and you’re going to move further so if you’re looking at a for more flat water based things and not so much of the surf really going some places perhaps taking some more weight for this reason there’s more dry
Mess around and enter into step-back turns a good amount of weight there so you don’t discover the ball is too rocky and I put the nose there’s still a bit of width at the shoulders at the ball whooshes up on top and once again helps flat stability on the water you can’t really feel the distinction in between the fin boxes whether you’re paddling the US box or the smartlock fin box they both have a really similar feel but keep in mind the good thing about the u.s. Box is you could update to a bigger fin so you can get a more swept back a bigger fin which once again will help you with that straight line tracking and paddling further so taking a look at who these will best fit ability and weight range well both the are going to take a large range of paddlers absolutely you can be a complete novice paddler entering into the sport on these they offer an excellent quantity of width and they’re an excellent average size the 10-8 is Most likely the default for most people most all round household enjoyable you’re going to be looking at the 10 eight right away it depends on about 120 kilos clearly the heavier you go you then you might find the stability ends up being a bit more of a problem however they can take the weight so if you’ve done two or three SUP lessons and you understand that you’ve been utilizing a 10-8 possibly by 33 34 this board will probably still match you the larger 12 foot will take.

For outdoor projects, materials like wood, metal, and plastic are commonly used due to their resilience against weather elements. If you’re working with wood, choose rot-resistant types like cedar or redwood.
For metal projects, opt for rust-resistant materials like stainless steel or galvanized steel. Plastic materials should be UV-resistant to withstand prolonged sun exposure.
Choosing the Right Tools
The choice of tools depends on the materials you’re working with and the tasks you need to perform. Basic tools like hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches are essential for most projects. For more intricate tasks, specialized tools like saws, drills, and sanders may be required.
If you don’t own these tools, consider renting them from a hardware store or borrowing them from friends or family members.
Where to Purchase Materials and Tools
Materials and tools for DIY outdoor decor projects can be purchased from various sources. Home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s offer a wide selection of materials and tools, both online and in-store. Online retailers like Amazon and Wayfair also provide a vast selection of products, often at competitive prices.

Design and Style
Incorporating design styles into DIY outdoor decor projects adds personality and charm to your outdoor living spaces. Whether you prefer rustic, modern, bohemian, or coastal aesthetics, there are endless possibilities for creating a cohesive and visually appealing outdoor oasis.
Achieving a specific design style involves careful consideration of materials, colors, and accessories. For a rustic look, opt for natural materials like wood, stone, and metal. Earthy tones, warm colors, and distressed finishes create a cozy and inviting ambiance.
Modern outdoor decor emphasizes clean lines, geometric shapes, and neutral colors. Incorporate sleek furniture pieces with metal frames and glass or acrylic accents. Choose monochrome color palettes and add pops of color through vibrant cushions, throws, and planters.
Bohemian style embraces eclecticism and vibrant colors. Mix and match patterns, textures, and colors to create a playful and inviting atmosphere. Hang macrame plant hangers, add colorful rugs and cushions, and display ethnic-inspired accessories.
Coastal style brings the beach vibes to your outdoor space. Use light and airy materials like wicker, rattan, and linen. Incorporate shades of blue, green, and white to evoke a sense of tranquility. Add seashells, starfish, and driftwood accents to complete the coastal look.
Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance and care are crucial for preserving the longevity and appearance of DIY outdoor decor projects. Proactive steps to clean, protect, and store these items can extend their lifespan and keep them looking their best.
Maintenance routines vary depending on the materials used and the specific project. However, general guidelines include regular cleaning, protection from harsh weather conditions, and proper storage during off-seasons.
Cleaning outdoor decor items removes dirt, dust, and debris that can accumulate over time. Regular cleaning helps prevent damage and maintains the overall aesthetics of the decor. Specific cleaning methods depend on the material. For instance, wooden items may require mild detergent and water, while metal items may need a specialized metal cleaner.
Protecting outdoor decor from harsh weather conditions, such as rain, sun, and extreme temperatures, is essential for preserving their integrity. Waterproofing treatments, UV protectants, and weather-resistant coatings can help shield the decor from damage caused by these elements.
Proper storage during off-seasons is vital for preserving DIY outdoor decor items. Store them in a dry, cool, and protected area to prevent damage from moisture, pests, or extreme temperatures. Some items may require additional protection, such as wrapping them in bubble wrap or using airtight containers.
Embarking on DIY outdoor decor projects offers a fulfilling experience, but it’s crucial to prioritize safety to prevent potential hazards. Working with power tools, handling chemicals, and installing electrical fixtures demand careful attention to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable project, follow these essential safety guidelines:
Wearing appropriate protective gear is paramount. Safety glasses, gloves, and a dust mask shield your eyes, hands, and lungs from debris, chemicals, and dust particles. Sturdy footwear provides stability and prevents slips and falls.
Power Tool Safety
When operating power tools, always read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the tool is in good working condition, and use sharp blades or bits for clean cuts. Maintain a firm grip and keep hands away from moving parts. Disconnect the power source before changing blades or bits.
Handle chemicals, such as paints, stains, and solvents, with caution. Wear gloves and avoid skin contact. Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of fumes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use, storage, and disposal.
When working with electrical fixtures, ensure the power is turned off at the main breaker. Use insulated tools and follow local electrical codes. If you’re unsure about any electrical work, consult a qualified electrician.
When using a ladder, place it on a stable surface and ensure it’s fully extended. Maintain three points of contact at all times, and avoid overreaching. Have someone hold the ladder for added stability.
First Aid Kit
Keep a first aid kit nearby in case of minor injuries. It should include bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and other essential supplies.

Sudi and his Associates: An Enemy of Peace?
By Ali Mohamed
As fighting, hunger and destruction in the Capital Mogadishu reaches horrible
new heights, many are asking whether the time has not finally come to
stop tolerating an intransigent warlords who refuses to put an end to
the violence and wrongdoing. Not that they should be killed, or even arrested,
but wouldn't exile be an appropriate response?
The case seems rather compelling. This is not simply an inept warlords,
but ones whose commission of horrendous atrocities going back many years
has been well documented. Despite the signing of the Eldoret Agreement
in 2003, they have in fact opposed any accords.
Indeed, the case for exiling Musse Mudi and his associates are strong
one, but in fact it would be wrong to focus just on Mr. Sudi. The underlying
cause of the current crisis is that Somalis have been denied their basic
rights of peace and dignity. They have been forced to endure a cruel civil
war for fifteen years. Under both Siyad Barre and current leaders, Somalis
have been subject to daily oppression and humiliation. And now Musse Sudi
is part of the anti-peace coalition that is today laying siege to Banadir
Region and its people.
And the responsibility goes beyond Mr. Sudi alone though he has been described
as the top threat to peace ahead of others. Different warlords have backed
the continuation of the misery and the terror of Banadir Region and its
people with military and economic support for years. The Latest of Mr
Sudi's ruthless destruction of what a Legitimate Prime Minister of Somalia
has appointed as the Governor of Banadir was given a green light by these
warlords with their only aim is to continue the looting and assassinations.
The exiling of Sudi, Atto, Salad, and Qanyare would enhance peace in Mogadishu.
We should see them as an enemy of peace and not only as an enemy of Mudulood
The Muduloods should stop crying and stood behind the greater slogan of
National Peace in the Capital and start pressuring those among them Like
Mr. Sudi who use cheap tribal propaganda to disrupt peace and take hostage
for the whole Somali Nation. They should embrace this goal with unbridled
determination, courage, and energy. They should have a real target to
vent their fury on. It would be a very short fight only if they do it

Lower back pain affects men and women alike, and it is often triggered by everyday activities, like sitting at your desk throughout your workday.
Fortunately, you can quickly remedy this issue by using a variety of lower back exercises to strengthen your core, tone your midsection, and greatly improve your mobility!
Here are a few of the best lower back exercises to add to your existing workout routine:
Just as the name suggests, the Superman exercise requires you to move into a “superhero” position to strengthen the weak muscles in your lower back that support your core.
1. To start this exercise, lie flat on your stomach on a workout mat on the floor.
2. To complete one repetition, contract your lower back and lift your upper and lower body from the ground at the same time.
Try 10 repetitions of this exercise in 2 sets to start, and continue to progress as you gain strength.
• Straight Leg Deadlifts:
This choice in exercising your back is similar to a traditional deadlift. However, straight leg deadlifts place more weight on the lower back and hamstrings to quickly gain strength.
1. To start this exercise, stand with your legs shoulder width apart, and hold a barbell with both hands.
2. Keep one hand facing down and the other hand facing up to give you a better grip.
3. Flex at the waist and slowly lower the barbell until a stretch is felt in the hamstrings and lower back.
4. Return to the starting position to complete one repetition.
Complete 10 repetitions and 2 sets of this exercise, and make sure to have a spotter nearby to prevent any risk of injury.
• Cat Stretch:
The cat stretch is one of the many stretching exercises that will relax and strengthen your lower back at the same time.
1. Begin the exercise on your hands and knees on a workout mat.
2. Slowly contract your stomach and push your spine into an arched position, similar to a cat.
3. Hold for 15 seconds to perform one repetition.
Relax, and repeat this exercise 10 times at the end of your daily workout routine to stretch and strengthen your lower back to prevent injury.
Lower back exercises are incredibly vital within a cohesive workout routine.
If you want any chance of balancing your strength training between your upper and lower body, then you need to protect your core by conditioning weak muscles in your lower back.
For anyone struggling with lower back pain, these exercises will help to relieve stress in this area and prevent injury.

Marking the first anniversary of the AR.Drone 2.0 since last CES, Parrot has announced that it'll be offering an optional GPS flight recorder module as well as a bigger battery at some point this year. The former dongle simply plugs into the flying vehicle via the USB port, and it can record the flying parameters onto its 4GB memory, which can then be reproduced on the 3D AR.Drone Academy map. As for the larger battery, it'll come with 1,500mAh worth of juice which is 50 percent more than the original one (hence a flight time of up to 18 minutes now), though we'd imagine most hardcore enthusiasts have already modded third-party batteries for the power-hungry copter.
On the software side, the AR.Drone 2.0 will soon be upgraded with a "Director Mode" for programming movements (including traveling, pan, crane and more) for more creative filming. Additionally there will be an "AR.Race 2.0" solo or multiplayer racing game, as well as an "AR.Rescue 2.0" adventure game in augmented reality. Sounds fun, and we'll be able to see the drone in action during our live CES interview with CEO Henri Seydoux this Thursday, so stay tuned.

agent orange corn
By ANDREW POLLACK
Published: April 25, 2012, NYtimes.com
To Jody Herr, it was a telltale sign that one of his tomato fields had been poisoned by 2,4-D, the powerful herbicide that was an ingredient in Agent Orange, the Vietnam War defoliant.
“The leaves had curled and the plants were kind of twisting rather than growing straight,” Mr. Herr said of the 2009 incident on his vegetable farm in Lowell, Ind. He is convinced the chemical, as well as another herbicide called dicamba, had wafted through the air from farms nearly two miles away.
Mr. Herr recalled the incident because he is concerned that the Dow Chemical company is on the verge of winning regulatory approval for corn that is genetically engineered to be immune to 2,4-D, allowing farmers to spray the chemical to kill weeds without harming the corn stalks.
That would be a welcome development for corn farmers like Brooks Hurst of Tarkio, Mo., who are coping with runaway weeds that can no longer be controlled by Roundup, the herbicide of choice for the last decade.

Doro – Raise Your Fist In The Air
Doro Pesch (born 3 June 1964), known professionally as Doro Pesch or simply Doro is a German heavy metal singer-songwriter, formerly front-woman of the heavy metal band Warlock.
Dubbed the “Metal Queen”, Doro’s contributions to music and culture along with her publicized personal life made her a global figure in metal culture for over three decades. The name Doro has also been associated with the touring band accompanying the singer, whose members have continuously changed in more than twenty years of uninterrupted activity, the most stable presences being those of bassist Nick Douglas and drummer Johnny Dee.
Doro started her career in garage bands in native Düsseldorf underground scene and achieved media visibility and some commercial success with Warlock in the 1980s. Warlock were starting to have an opening in the U.S. market, when they went through many line-up changes and Pesch was left the only original member of the band.
She started a solo career under the name Doro, in order to avoid legal battles between her record label PolyGram and her former manager. She released two albums in the US with producers Joey Balin and Gene Simmons, but they were not the breakthrough that she hoped.
During the rise of grunge and alternative rock in the 1990s, her record label relegated her productions only to the European region, where she continued to tour extensively. She remained a successful charting artist in Germany, despite living and producing her albums in the US.
When classic heavy metal found again the favour of the public, she returned to tour all over the world and her popularity as a veteran singer grew considerably, inspiring many new female metal artists. Doro is also known for her duets performed both live and in studio with other singers and musicians of the metal scene, whom she has befriended in her long-term career, and was the first heavy metal artist to perform a drive-in concert during the COVID-19 pandemic.
To this date, she has released seventeen studio albums, the latest being Forever Warriors, Forever United in 2018. Doro continues her recording career and is prolific touring artist all over the world. When not on tour, she resides in New York City.
Dorothee Pesch was born in Düsseldorf, West Germany on 3 June 1964, as the only child of Walter, a truck driver, and Barbara Pesch. Doro’s first memory of rock music is the song “Lucille” by Little Richard, which she sang when she was three years old.
She learned to play piano and started singing at the age of ten years, when she was exposed to the glam rock of bands like T. Rex, The Sweet and Slade.When she was sixteen and after a life-threatening form of tuberculosis, she decided to dedicate more of her time and energy to singing, without giving up her study of graphic design.

David Bouchier: My vanishing résumé
My résumé gets shorter as I get older. It’s down to about six lines now, and even those seem rather unreal. Every year, more and more fragments of the past seem irrelevant, and indeed imaginary. I’m tempted to start over, the way the immigrants did when they arrived at Ellis Island and got new names, and no doubt invented new biographies for themselves. Nobody should be a prisoner of his or her own past.
The infinite flexibility of personal history is a fact of life. I have read a lot of résumés, and few of them had any detectable connection with the person whose name was at the top. Many showed signs of having been compiled by professional résumé services staffed by unemployed writers of fantasy and science fiction. I suspect that very few résumés, including mine, would stand up to close forensic examination. That may be the reason why we don’t have a word in the English language for this document. We are so embarrassed by its blatant falsity that we can only name it in French or Latin. The French call it a résumé (a summary) and the British call it a curriculum vitae, literally the course of one’s life.
We have moved far beyond the traditional practice of résumé padding. Now we are into wholesale résumé invention. A famous example was the English peer and politician Lord Archer was caught out telling a spectacular string of lies about his past, many of which were published in Who’s Who. Almost every day we read exposés of self-taught doctors, fake lawyers and sham academics, and we worry about even more dangerous hoaxers, like shortsighted airline pilots and compulsively honest politicians, who have somehow achieved their positions without having any of the necessary qualifications.
Qualifications do matter. But now that university diplomas and whole Ph. D. theses are available online, paper qualifications don’t mean as much.
Employers have tried to fight back with “résumé evaluation software,” but résumé invention software always seems to be a step ahead.
So how much can we learn from a carefully-prepared résumé? Almost nothing. Personal references from schools, colleges or previous employers are even less reliable. Even if we know for certain that an employee or student is lazy, shifty, dishonest and incompetent, we dare not say so on paper. The lawsuit would be instantaneous. So a glowing recommendation is double edged: it’s impossible to know whether it’s true, or just a measure of the writer’s desire to see the back of that particular person.
This is a great gift of freedom. A résumé is a straitjacket, an enemy of imagination and possibility. In the past a person’s “character” followed him or her all through life, so that past was always present. Now, nobody has a past that can’t be deleted or improved with a few keystrokes. Candidates for high office often find it convenient to leave out their arrest records and juvenile drug use, for example. Every slate is a clean slate.
Looking at my own shrinking résumé, I see that I have work to do. Things need to be added — the genius awards, the distinguished conduct medal, the bestselling novels, and many other distinctions that it would be embarrassing to name. After a few minutes of typing my résumé is much longer, and once again shining with talent and promise. But who will be foolish enough to believe it? Not I.

WILDLIFE INVESTIGATION ENDS WITH PLEAS FROM THE ACCUSED
A joint investigation by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has concluded with the convictions and sentencing of eight men for their roles in illegal hunts that took place in the King Mountain area of southern Routt County. 35 year old Ole Thorson of Prescott Michigan entered his guilty plea March 28th, bringing the two-and-a-half year joint investigation and prosecution to an end. His brother, 40 year old Travis Thorson, and their father, 64-year-old Jerome Thorson, all from Prescott, had previously pleaded guilty. Wildlife officials say the multi-state investigation began when a concerned hunter called to report the three men who were believed to be hunting in Colorado without licenses. Several other individuals also pleaded guilty for their roles in the case. 49 year old Tim Oestmann and 24 year old Andrew Oestmann of Bailey, Colorado pleaded guilty to the illegal transfer of a hunting license. 63-year old Jeffrey Kuhn of Prescott, Michigan pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a bull elk as did 42 year old Todd Osier, of Sterling, Michigan. 41-year old Troy Allen of Jamestown, Indiana also pleaded guilty to transfer of a license. Wildlife investigators from Colorado and Michigan worked undercover for over a year, making numerous contacts with the Thorsons in both states. The investigation revealed several violations in Colorado that spanned a 4-year period, including the illegal take of at least three bull elk, one black bear and a bobcat. Search warrants were served in three locations in Prescott and in the hunting camp belonging to the men, located south of Yampa. Penalties ranged from jail time and community service to thousands of dollars in fines and the revocation of hunting privileges.
KIDDERS HONORED AS VOLUNTEERS OF THE YEAR
The annual luncheon for Moffat County, the City of Craig and the Moffat County United Way agency volunteers, was held yesterday. During the luncheon, volunteers that have served ten years or more were recognized with certificates of appreciation, and George and Ann Kidder were honored as Volunteers of the Year. Moffat County Commissioner Chuck Grobe, while presenting the award, highlighted the Kidders volunteer efforts, including arranging personal Santa visits for children in the community, and their work with Horizons, the Boys and Girls Club of Craig, the KRAI and 55 Country Holiday Drive, Colowyo Christmas, Sandrock Ridge Care and Rehab, Sunrise Daycare and more. Grobe described the Kidders as “role models and avid supporters of people in our community.”
BRIGHTON MAN PLEADS GUILTY IN ROUTT COUNTY CRASH
A man involved in a single-vehicle rollover crash that killed his passenger south of Steamboat has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of careless driving resulting in death. Mark Hendrixson of Brighton struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the charge last week. Prosecutors dropped charges of vehicular homicide, DUI, careless driving, driving without insurance and driving under restraint. Authorities say Hendrixson was driving on Colorado 131 south of Toponas last October when he lost control of his car, which went off the roadway and rolled over. Killed in the crash was 72-year-old Robert Bratz of Denver.
WATER GROUP WILL ALLOW CAR WASHING DURING WATER RESTRICTIONS
While Steamboat has announced they will implement Stage 2 water restrictions beginning May 1st. The Community Water Providers Group says they will allow residents to wash their cars on scheduled water days. There are some restrictions that come along with the allowance. For example, residents will not be allowed to use hoses without spray nozzles that shut of when not in use. The group also asks people to use biodegradable detergent and to do their washing where the water won’t wash debris into the storm sewer system. If you would like to know what is involved with Stage 2 water restrictions, click here.
GOVERNOR TO RETURN TO WORK TODAY
Colorado’s governor is returning from a weeklong personal trip to Israel. He’ll have some big decisions to make when he gets back on the job. Hickenlooper’s weeklong trip was a personal visit he took at his own expense. While he was away, state lawmakers sent him some bills he’ll have decide whether to sign. The governor was to return late yesterday, returning to work today. The biggest item is a budget for next fiscal year that adds money to K-12 and higher education after years of cuts. But lawmakers rejected an idea the governor asked them to fund. They rejected his idea to renovate a former prison in southeast Colorado to transform it into a treatment center for the long-term homeless.
DEMOCRATS FIGHTING AMONGST THEMSELVES OVER LABOR ISSUES
Colorado Democrats are closer to an intraparty showdown over labor rights. The Democratic state House has approved a firefighter labor bill that the Democratic governor has threatened to veto. The bill approved yesterday evening enhances the rights of professional firefighters to talk about working conditions, even if their communities have voted to ban their use of collective bargaining. The measure is a watered-down version of a proposal vetoed in 2009 by former Democratic Governor Bill Ritter. The current Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, threatened to veto this year’s version, too. Local government groups argue labor decisions should be left to them. One more vote is required in the House. The bill has already passed the Senate.
LEGISLATURE DEBATING HOW TO SPEND EXTRA TAX MONEY
It’s a natural result of Colorado’s improving finances: Instead of arguing over budget cuts, state lawmakers are arguing over how to spend additional tax dollars. The state Senate gave final approval yesterday to a state version of the federal earned-income tax credit aimed at the working poor. The tax cut inspired a sharp partisan debate over whether the tax cut for about 15 percent of the population is appropriate. Democrats argued that the tax cuts help lift working people out of poverty. Republicans countered that earned-income tax credits are ripe for fraud and are a subsidy to some who don’t earn enough to owe income taxes. The bill passed on a 20-15 party-line vote and heads to the House.

In Lansing, Dan Moore, a certified physician assistant at Ingham Internal Medicine and Pediatric Associates, a partner of Ingham Regional, is treating a grab bag of upper respiratory infections, including sinus infections.
The symptoms are thick, yellow, foul-smelling nasal discharge; pressure or pain around the face, eyes, and mouth; headache, and nasal obstruction. Other symptoms include congestion, post-nasal drip, and a cold that won't go away.
To treat a sinus infection, you need to see a doctor. He or she will likely prescribe antibiotics.
Decongestants and other drugs help decrease swelling in the sinuses. Steam and hot showers may help with that too.
You can also try nasal sprays to help with drainage.
In rare instances, when sinusitis becomes chronic or long lasting, long-term antibiotics or surgery may be needed to establish adequate drainage.

Washington, D.C. – September 5, 2022 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey issued the following statement commemorating Labor Day and North America’s workers:
“This Labor Day, workers have a lot to celebrate. Over the past year and a half, proworker Administrations in both the United States and Canada delivered unprecedented investments prioritizing workers and their families at every step.
“The Canadian federal government worked diligently to make it more affordable for workers to travel where the jobs are, doubled workforce development investments, and is putting workers at the forefront of just transition consultations. In the U.S., President Biden and Congress delivered policy wins that invest over 1.2 trillion in America’s infrastructure, strengthen registered apprenticeship, restore retirement income for millions of workers, boost high-tech manufacturing, address climate change, and accelerate domestic energy production. These wins generate millions more middle-class, family-sustaining jobs and protect workers’ health, safety and wages throughout.
“These significant achievements will not only uplift North America’s workforce, union and nonunion, they will attract the next generation of skilled craft professionals to rebuild our nations and the middle class. This Labor Day, we celebrate these wins and endeavor to honor workers every day, reflecting on the sacrifices made by workers who came before us, paying tribute to the impact labor provides to North America’s strength, prosperity and freedom, and continuing the fight for a better tomorrow for all workers and their families.”

Psychology is the scientific study of thinking, feeling, and action. Psychologists study the psychological, biological, and social bases of how we think, feel, and behave and use this knowledge to solve problems in the real world. As scientists, psychologists conduct research in many settings including universities, hospitals, government, schools, and corporations. As practitioners, psychologists apply the knowledge gained from research to solve personal, social, and practical problems.
In this section
- Bachelor of Applied Arts (also Honours)
- Bachelor of Science (also Honours)
- Bachelor of Arts Major (also Honours)
- Associate of Arts Degree
Students of psychology have a genuine interest in understanding human nature. They are fascinated with the human mind and want to understand why people do the things they do. Our psychology students are taught how to look carefully at behaviour and gain exposure to basic principles such as motivation, memory, thinking, sensation, and perception. The traditional BA degree will appeal to students who want the flexibility to choose one or more areas to explore in their upper years, including developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, personality psychology, or general experimental areas. The Bachelor of Applied Arts degree will appeal to students looking more specifically for a clear path during their upper years of study for specific research and workplace skills, and who enjoy learning more about how to gather, organize, analyze, interpret, and present data. The program is more rigorous than the more flexible BA, but includes courses hand-picked by faculty and employers to target job and graduate school skills. The Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology program will appeal to students whose interest in psychology is in the biological basis of behaviour and those oriented toward a career in the health sciences. Students in the B.Sc. in Applied Psychology program will enjoy courses in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics in addition to a wide range of Psychology courses with a specific focus on research and applied workplace skills.
Students of psychology have a number of options open to them once they complete their undergraduate degrees. To pursue a career specifically in the field of psychology and to call oneself a psychologist, an individual must complete at least a Master's degree and normally a Ph.D. in Psychology. However, there are many careers open to students with an undergraduate degree in psychology including social services, labour relations, health services, human resources, corrections, and marketing. There are also careers in other fields that can benefit from psychology skills and knowledge, including law, medicine, journalism, and business. Most of these require additional study. Students are advised to consult with an Arts Degree advisor and the Psychology Degree Coordinator to best plan their course of study to meet their career objectives.

PESARO – Where Lemons Blossom attended yesterday afternoon the States-General of Tourism, organized by the Municipality of Pesaro in the breath-taking setting of Villa Caprile: one the best places in town to invite experts in the tourism sector to speak about future strategies to adopt in order to increase the number of tourists in our area.
As a matter of fact, 70% of the GDP of Rimini (renowned sea-side resort in the neighbouring region Emilia Romagna, about 30 kms north from Pesaro) is due to the tourism sector, whereas only 8% of Pesaro GDP is generated by tourism. However Mattteo Ricci, mayor of Pesaro, underlined the great talents that Pesaro has to offer in the field of culture (it’s the hometown of composer Gioachino Rossini, it organizes Rossini Opera Festival, it’s close to Urbino – the ‘ideal Renaissance city’ – UNESCO World Heritage site), of art, history, nature, family facilities (a well organized beach and a safe low sea-bottom for children) and sport (let’s not forget our 80-km-long cycling lane), eno-gastronomy (truffle, wine, olive oil, cheese) and much, believe me, much more (those of you who follow me know what I’m talking about!).
Enzo Belloni, Municipal Council Member for Tourism, was the moderator in the evening session (it was he who invited me to take part to the States-General of Tourism and I’d like to thank him). I found interesting the speech of Pietro Talarico, Manager of the Tourism Section of Regione Marche, and of Amerigo Varotti, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of Pesaro and Urbino.
I would say that all speeches had in common one theme, i.e. that of building a shared strategy and of establishing a collaborative working relationship between all actors: public bodies, trade associations and private sector.
So, let us all unite to promote Pesaro and our beautiful province (Pesaro and Urbino)!
Following are a few pictures of Villa Caprile. The beautiful villa, with an Italian garden, was built in 1640 by the marquis Giovanni Mosca from Bergamo and hosted, later on, famous guests such as Casanova, Stendhal, Rossini and Leopardi.
The 17th century façade is a perfect scenary for the garden, rich in exotic plants and water games. The gardens, along the gentle slope, are arranged in three terraces connected by large staircases.
The first one, with a double flight of stairs, is the oldest. It leads to the first garden hosting the famous water games which take the visitors aback with sudden splashes of water coming out from vases, monuments and hedges. A 2 km-long filtering gallery was built at that time in order to receive the waters.
The second garden hosts the so-called pomario with fruit trees and plants, according to the Arab gardening tradition, typical in the Spanish culture. The third garden hosts the viridarium, with aromatic herbs such as sage, rosemary, juniper, tyme, etc.
To top it all the green theatre (“teatro di verzura”) surrounded by cypresses and entirely made of plants and trees, including stage and seats.
Villa Caprile today is the seat of the agrarian technical institute. Its beautiful gardens with water games are open to the public in the Summertime.

Credit card interest rates hit another record high
Rate hikes from U.S. Bank, Discover put national average APR to peak levels
If it seems like interest rates for new credit cards are higher than they've been in a long while, you're not imagining things.
|CreditCards.com's Weekly Rate Report|
|Avg. APR||Last week||6 months ago|
|Methodology: The national average credit card APR is comprised of about 100 of the most popular credit cards in the country, including cards from dozens of leading U.S. issuers and representing every card category listed above. (Introductory, or teaser, rates are not included in the calculation.)|
This week, the national average interest rate on new credit cards reached 14.78 percent -- a new record high -- according to CreditCards.com's database of card offer information.
High annual percentage rates (APRs) are nothing new to consumers. The latest Federal Reserve survey of bank executives showed that more card issuers raised APRs during the third quarter than lowered them.
Still, those rate hikes have picked up speed recently. For the second straight week, CreditCards.com's national average APR for new card offers reached its highest level since tracking began in 2007. APRs have now increased for four straight weeks and six out of the last seven weeks.
With the Federal Reserve continuing to hold its key lending rate unchanged, higher APRs are solely the work of banks. This week, U.S. Bank raised the rate on its Flex Perks Travel Rewards Visa Signature card and Discover hiked the rate on its More card. (Neither bank responded to a request for comment on the reason for those changes.)
There was some good news for cardholders, though. Chase lowered the bottom end of the APR range on its Freedom card a point to 11.99 percent. The range's top end remains 22.99 percent.
The Federal Reserve's latest survey of bank senior loan officers also included some good news for cardholders. The survey showed that more than 12 percent of lenders reported easing their credit card approval standards in the third quarter of 2010. That means borrowers may have an easier time getting a new credit card than they have in years.
But the survey's findings were less favorable for cardholders who revolve a balance from month to month. Over that same July to September time period, 7.9 of banks said they raised APRs for new or existing cardholders, compared with 5.3 percent of banks that reported lowering rates.
Those higher rates can have a real impact on cardholders' wallets, raising the cost and increasing the time it takes to pay off card balances. "If the person has significant debt, it can make a real difference in their budget," says Sandy Shore, a counseling supervisor with nonprofit credit counseling agency Novadebt in Freehold, N.J.

Introduction This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby.
By the end of the novel you find out that she is not what everyone thought she was, she turns out to be a very selfish, bitter woman who is really not worthy of the attention she gets from all of the men. Brenda besides represents sex to Neil hence she represents two of the major subjects of the novel, sex and money.
To each of the characters someone else represents something that they want, and they use sex as a way to gain it. To Neil, Brenda represents what he does not have, money and status within the Jewish community. He remembers what they had together a long clip ago, and he sets his sights on holding her once more, but what he truly wants is non Daisy herself, but the phantasy that he has created.
Their love is similar to that of Neil and Brenda. It is easy to see that in both of the novels sex and money go manus in manus. I told her how I had stopped off in Chicago for a day on my way east and how a dozen people had sent their love through me.
She too, like Daisy is used to getting what she wants. The American Dream, is full of hope that the past can be left behind and that a new world can be born. This novel opens in the summer of in West Egg, Long Island. The Patimkin family, and the Klugman family. He gains no social status, respect, power, or wealth.
A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding cake of the ceiling -- and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.
Editorial Review InF. There is also a great deal of extra marital affairs going on in the novel. The idea of belonging to the country club is a major part of the novel. Tom demonstrates his love for Daisy by having a series of affairs with other women, even on his honeymoon; he does not work very hard to keep these affairs private, which is why the Buchanans move so much.
By the end of the novel you find out that she is not what everyone thought she was, she turns out to be a very selfish, bitter woman who is really not worthy of the attention she gets from all of the men.
Fitzgerald acquired his fame, almost overnight, with the publication of his first book, This Side of Paradise, in By the end of the novel Neil could not stand the fact that Brenda was able to do whatever she wanted in the relationship and this caused him to overreact and force her to do something she didn.
Bibliography The Great Gatsby, by F. Jay Gatsby longs for the past. All he wanted in return was Daisys complete unconditional love. To Neil there are many differences in the Patimkin family that make them very different from his own.
To the author, "the title is only fair, rather bad than good". In The Great Gatsby, the fresh focal points on one adult males compulsion with a married adult female.
The idea of the new world verses the old world is a major premise in the novel Goodbye Columbus. Free Essays Must Be Free.
I lived at West Egg, the -- well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall.
We are dedicated to helping students with their everyday College needs. Even though Neil is in love with Brenda he still sees her as a way to gain a better life for himself.
It is all free. Daisy and Gatsby don. In the other novel Neil had another agenda for going out with Brenda. In both novels there are similar themes, they both use the idea of sex and money as a form of power. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan.
If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away.

Sixteen months. Sixteen MONTHS?! Yesterday, my daughter completed the last AP exam of her Junior year in High School. Which means (Lord willing) she will be leaving for college in sixteen short months. I am not a doctor, but my guess is the number one cause for hyperventilating moms is realizing they only have a few months left to “finish” full-time parenting.
I know a mother’s job and influence continues, but the opportunity to impact your child on a daily basis ends for most of us when our child heads off to college. While that’s a wonderful, exciting time in her life, it can cause a bit of panic in mine. I picture myself trailing after her towards her dorm sharing vital tips of wisdom – “Remember to cook that at 350* for 30 minutes”, “Never take any wooden nickels” (A favorite in my family, although I’m still not sure what I was supposed to do!) and “Wash your brights separate from your darks, if possible.”
I know most of those things she already knows. Some she can learn on her own. Others I have threatened to teach her in a “Mommy Bootcamp” this summer. In reality, though, I have had a mental “bucket list” for her for years. Fun things I wanted to do with her, places I wanted to take her, lessons I wanted her to learn, and most importantly – all of the lessons from God that will make a tremendous difference in her future.
Sixteen months, means I plan to transfer my mental bucket list to a paper one. We will try to do those things we have been putting off, return to some childhood favorites and make a couple of those big trips to places we wanted to share with her. I will probably even force her to clean a few toilets, do my laundry and prove she can still cook full, healthy meals. We may not get to everything on the list, but at least we will have a plan. Hopefully, it will add a lot of joy and memory making to the next year.
The most important thing I can do during our remaining few months with her at home is to nurture her personal relationship with God. I’ll remind her of all of the wonderful things about being a child of God. I will share with her for the millionth time how life is so much richer and fuller if you follow God’s plan instead of man’s. I will encourage her to stay in God’s Word and share all of her dreams and fears with God in prayer. Because God’s lessons are the most important ones I could ever teach her.
No matter how old your children are, I encourage you to pull out some paper and a pen. Create a separate bucket list for each child. Have them add to the list. See how much fun you can have creating the list and then creating memories as you complete it. Most importantly, make sure God has a prominent place on it. God’s items are the ones which will change your child’s life and eternity.
As you make your bucket list for your children, what are some of the most fun things on it? What are some tasks you feel are essential for them to learn? What spiritual things are included on your list? I would love for you to share your thoughts in a comment below.

Should we call them mis-convicted murderers, perhaps, those poor unfortunate souls who have suffered the catastrophe of a wrongful conviction? As we prepare to leave 2020 behind and look across time into 2021, we must hope along with them that the criminal justice system will correct those wrongful convictions, in many cases far too long after the verdict was delivered.
There will be some reading this who will want to correct me and point out that these people are still convicted murderers, their convictions not having been overturned; I should not put their cases forward as wrongful convictions. While that is technically and legally correct, I believe (as do many others, including lawyers and academics familiar with these cases), that based on the evidence, it is justified to doubt their convictions. The law will – we hope – catch up. So why and how did The System get it so wrong in these cases?
Why? Because reforms that would help reduce wrongful convictions have not been implemented. How? By a combination of investigative failures, bad forensic evidence (and junk science), prosecutorial overreach (to put it kindly) and judicial error.
*An application on behalf of Derek Bromley for leave to appeal to the High Court is likely to be submitted in the New Year – probably in January 2021. Bromley’s 37 year old murder conviction (and failed appeals) does not show the SA legal system in a good light; none of these cases reflects well on The System.
*After several delays, some due to the travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic, Sue Neill-Fraser’s final appeal against her baseless and poorly tried 2010 murder conviction will be heard in Tasmania’s Supreme Court beginning on March 1. The body of Bob Chappell, her then partner of 18 years she was accused of murdering, has never been found.
*Robert Xie’s appeal against his (unconvincing) 2017 conviction of brutally murdering five members of his wife’s family in 2009 was heard in June/July 2020. The three judges have given no indication of when they might deliver their decision/s. Only hope and optimism prompts us to imagine it will be in the first half of 2021, and that it will be favourable to him.
*Kathleen Folbigg’s complex new appeal will be heard in February, challenging both the conviction and the recent Blanch enquiry. The 2003 trial was based on the circumstances that Folbigg was the mother of four children and all the children died. The medical evidence relating to the causes of the deaths of her four children at her trial was inconclusive. The Crown’s case was based by implication on the now discredited theory of British paediatrician, Professor Sir Roy Meadow. There is now compelling new evidence of genetic defects in respect of two babies not previously available and which has been peer reviewed by over twenty international experts in the field.
*Robert Farquharson is out of options – almost. Convicted of killing his three young boys by drowning them in a dam, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with no minimum term. He has always maintained his innocence. He claims he had a coughing fit and blacked out, losing control of the car, which veered into the dam. He couldn’t save the kids. One of the saddest stories you’ll ever read is Road to Damnation, a book by scientist Chris Brook who examines this tragedy in scientific terms and concludes that the evidence does not support the conviction. His former lawyer, Luke McMahon, is planning to mount another appeal next year under new state laws, based on material revealed in Road to Damnation.
THE BIG PICTURE
Derek Bromley – no reliable evidence & a rogue appeal court
Derek Bromley may be entitled to think that the criminal justice system is biased against him; having wrongly convicted him 37 years ago, it still won’t let him go. It has even defied the rule of law to keep him incarcerated …. read on.
Derek Bromley was convicted of murder in 1984. It was said that he assaulted a person and drowned him in the river in Adelaide. The eye witness who testified against him was known to be psychotic and suffering from hallucinations and delusions at the time of the incident. The Crown told the jury that his testimony implicating Bromley was nevertheless reliable.
Then came the autopsy report, prepared by Dr Colin Manock, who claimed that Bromley had drowned the victim. Bromley was convicted.
In the latest appeal, the court was provided with three expert reports on the forensic pathology evidence given by Dr Manock. All the experts agreed that the diagnosis of death by drowning was wrong. They also agreed that because Dr Manock’s autopsy had been fundamentally inadequate, the cause of death must be classified as ‘undetermined’. They also agreed that the cause and timing of the injuries which Dr Manock said were consistent with an assault at about the time of death was also wrong.
Just when Derek might have thought he was vindicated in refusing to admit guilt and thus remain in prison well past his parole eligibility (2008), the Appeal Court went rogue, in layman’s terms. In legal terms, it reads like this: South Australia’s appeal court fundamentally failed to pay due regard to the rule of law and to the well-established principles governing criminal appeals,” according to legal academics Dr Bob Moles and Bibi Sangha. “The principles espoused in the Bromley decision are not only contrary to established authority but have never before appeared in any legal judgment in Australia, Britain or Canada.”
The appeal court determined that the ‘interests of justice’ requirement in the new right of appeal meant that the court had to ensure the acquittal of the innocent and the conviction of the guilty. This meant that it should allow the DPP to present additional evidence to the court on the appeal which would be ‘extremely probative of the appellant’s guilt’. Evidence of a prior conviction was then admitted in order to establish that Bromley had a ‘propensity’ to commit the type of crime in the instant case – even though accident, natural causes and suicide, according to the experts, could not be excluded.
The new evidence, the court said, rendered the Crown and the appellant’s expert evidence on the appeal less ‘compelling’ and therefore insufficient for the grant of leave to appeal. The Court of Appeal also said it was ‘quite correct’ for defence counsel not to raise issues ‘critical of Dr Manock in a broader sense’.
Those issues included the following vital facts: the state had given sworn evidence in legal proceedings prior to 1978 to say that Dr Manock was not qualified to certify cause of death, and he had no expert qualifications. That should have disqualified Dr Manock from giving evidence at Derek Bromley’s trial. Or any other trial.
In the words of the Attorney-General of South Australia to the media on 2 July 2018: “Dr Manock’s evidence as an expert was relied upon. It was completely unreliable, in fact manifestly so, for the purposes of making it simply unsustainable to have a conviction be maintained. Clearly, this was a person who for whatever reason had been appointed, you know, decades before who was discredited and dismissed and his evidence wholly, you know, rejected in that way.”
The application for leave to appeal to the High Court in January will require a response from the DPP – Martin Hinton, previously Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia (2016-2019). Will he abide by the rule of law that requires Bromley to be freed, his wrongful conviction quashed?
Sue Neill-Fraser – murder by the prosecution
It was the 2013 Eve Ash documentary, Shadow of Doubt, that lured me into the world of wrongful convictions. Eve Ash had spent a couple of years investigating the investigation … and the Tasmanian police did not come out as a proficient force. Sue Neill-Fraser had already been convicted in 2010, but the more I pursued the story of her case, the more troubled I became. There was no evidence against her. Legendary defence barrister Chester Porter QC had the same response. So did several other legal eagles. It was the Neill-Fraser case that inspired the title of my book, Murder by the Prosecution (Wilkinson Publishing), a collection of wrongful convictions.
To recap: A middle aged man (Bob Chappell) disappears from his yacht (Four Winds) overnight, never to be found. Police charge his female partner (Sue Neill-Fraser) with murder. At the subsequent trial, the prosecutor, contrary to the law but unchallenged by the judge, speculates freely on how she might have murdered him (perhaps with a wrench) and dumped his body into the dinghy and then in Hobart’s Derwent river, but offers no evidence to support any of this. The accused is convicted and jailed for 23 years.
The transcript of the trial shows that:
* In the absence of the jury, the DPP admits to the judge that he ‘never believed’ there was any of Chappell’s blood in the Four Winds dinghy, but talks to the jury about the blood testing anyway.
* In the absence of the jury, the DPP admits to the judge that he has no evidence to support his speculation that a fire extinguisher was used to weigh down Chappell’s body, but puts it to the jury anyway – and the judge refers to it in his summing up as well as in the sentencing, as if it were proven evidence.
* In his closing address to the jury, the DPP repeats his speculation about how the murder was committed by Neill-Fraser but admits he doesn’t really know what was the murder weapon she used. The judge allowed it.
There are several other problems with the trial, including forensic evidence that was led which is not admissible and the failure to properly investigate the DNA that was found on the yacht. The DNA was dismissed by the prosecution as a ‘red herring’. It was matched to then homeless 15 year old Meaghan Vass, who told the court in a short appearance that she had not been on the yacht. The defence wanted to recall her but the judge refused permission.
A decade later, Vass admitted (on 60 Minutes) that she had indeed been on the yacht, had been terrified by a fight involving Bob Chappell and her two male companions. Sue Neill-Fraser was not on board. Vass is now hoping to make amends and testify to that effect under oath, at the upcoming appeal. The appeal will be heard by three Tasmanian judges. Their boss, now the Chief Justice, was the trial judge. Hmmm …
Robert Xie – a spotless massacre
A gullible media and a jury bamboozled by a practiced prosecutor accepted the Crown’s assertion that mild mannered former ear surgeon Robert Xie from China bludgeoned to death five members of his wife’s family in their beds without leaving his DNA or generating any other evidence that links him to the crime.
To recap: Robert Xie and his wife Kathy have always maintained he was in their bed beside her at the relevant time on the 2009 night of the Lin family murders, for which he was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in 2017. As the three learned judges continue to consider his appeal (heard mid 2020) against the five murder convictions, they will come face to face with the single most crucial aspect of the case: Xie’s alibi – which the Crown did not disprove.
And yes, there is the matter of the DNA – not Xie’s at the crime scene, of which there was none. Instead, in a stretch by the Crown to implicate Robert in the crime with a tiny speck of material with DNA (not blood and never scientifically clarified) on his garage floor – 200 metres from the Lin family home where the murders took place. The garage where the two families often played badminton …
The Crown was left hoping to rely on the testimony of Witness A, the jail snitch who was trying to entrap Xie with an indecipherable covert recording. The jury bought the Crown’s case and convicted him.
Kathleen Folbigg – junk science as evidence
Did she really kill all four of her children? Is she a monster – or was she monstered by a criminal justice system that failed to recognise junk science? It is a case of the latter, according to Michael Nott LLB GDLP, an Australian lawyer who is an advocate for mothers falsely accused of munchausen syndrome (factitious illness) by proxy and the cot death theory. The following are edited extracts from his report on the Folbigg case:
“”- The prosecution was based by implication on the now discredited theory of British paediatrician, Professor Sir Roy Meadow. Meadow’s hypothesis is that in multiple unexplained cot deaths in the same family: one (infant) death is a tragedy, two is suspicious and three is murder. Meadow’s rule relied upon an untested hypothesis by two American pathologists, Dominick and Vincent Di Maio, who referred to it as ‘the rule of three.’
Dr Vincent Di Maio explained: “when you get a first case that appears to be sudden infant death syndrome (‘SIDS’) … treat it as SIDS … [i]n the second case, we know that in all probability it’s not a SIDS. It’s a homicide … you always give them the benefit of the doubt … than to falsely accuse them … [i]t’s when you get to the third one, then you’ve gone beyond reasonable doubts and you have to call it a homicide.”
Meadow’s ‘rule of three’ hypothesis was criticised and discredited by the UK Court of Appeal in several cases. In the UK case of Cannings, their Honours stated ‘if that is the fashion, it must now cease.’ The ‘rule of three’ hypothesis is without scientific backing.
It should not have been allowed. But the question remains: what may have caused the deaths of the children, or at least one or two of the children? Perhaps we need to consider whether overwhelming bacterial infection caused the deaths of some of the Folbigg children. It has been known that bacterial infection can contribute to the sudden and unexpected deaths of infants since the original Folbigg trial in 2003 and the appeal in 2004.
Cot death expert Professor Paul Goldwater writes that studies show that bacteriological findings at autopsy have been found in cases of ‘sudden infant death syndrome’. Professor Goldwater states serious consideration should be given to recognised pathogens, especially Staphylococcus aureus, found in normally sterile sites, which may have a contributory role to an infant’s death. Professor Goldwater says there is now a strong view that if an infant dies unexpectedly, it is more likely to be carrying pathogenic bacteria than a healthy baby.
Professor Blackwell noted that there was evidence of infections in two of the Folbigg children: Sarah and Laura … which cannot be ignored as a potential cause of death. Further, the post mortem report for Patrick Folbigg did not provide any evidence to support a finding of an unnatural death according to Professor Goldwater. He said the autopsy findings for Patrick, who died aged eight months, were compatible with SUDI. He refers to the key findings that Patrick had a larger than normal brain for his age, including abnormal brain grooves along with cystic degeneration. Professor Goldwater says this is compatible with pathology often found in cerebral palsy …
These expert opinions have never been presented to a court. – “”
But they may be very soon; an appeal hearing (before three judges) is scheduled for late February in which Folbigg’s lawyers are expected to present compelling new medical evidence that undermines the conviction. It will also address what are seen as shortcomings in the administrative enquiry conducted last year by former Chief Judge of the District Court, the Hon Reginald Blanch AM QC, concluding that “the investigations of the Inquiry have … produced evidence that reinforces Ms Folbigg’s guilt”
Well, maybe not …. the much publicised Folbigg diary entries, presented by the prosecution as its best evidence, and relied upon by Blanch, are capable of different and innocent meaning – if seen in their proper context, according to her defenders.
Then there is Robert Farquharson, whose 2012 appeal failed – but 2021 may bring him an unexpected gift, thanks to an important new book, Road to Damnation, in which Chris Brook takes the reader on a gripping journey to the darkest reaches of human experience – the drowning of three children – when it intersects with the law. Brook places the case of Robert Farquharson – their father – at the interface between law, science, society and psychology. (See our coverage of Road to Damnation)
Farquharson claims he blacked out after a coughing fit and lost control of the car, which veered off the road into a dam and sank. He escaped but could not save his sons. The prosecution claimed he drowned his sons deliberately, by driving into the dam.
In 2007, Farquharson was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment with no minimum term. However, he maintained his innocence and appealed his sentence. On 17 December 2009, he won the right to a retrial, due in part to the key witness for the prosecution, Greg King, facing potential criminal charges himself at the time of the original trial. Robert was released on bail on 21 December, but was again convicted of murder on 22 July 2010.
But, says Brook, there was just not enough evidence at the scene to conclude that someone had been steering the car.
Based on material in the book, Robert’s former lawyer, Luke McMahon, is planning to mount another appeal next year under new state laws.
I know several barristers, judges and lawyers (and a couple of cops) who are admirably decent and honourable, keen to see justice delivered and who believe that a wrongful conviction is a catastrophic failure of the justice system.
I also know that the legal system operates under its own oversight. It is supposed to self correct when errors occur. But there is no sense of urgency – even if we accept that there is a will to do so, albeit with little evidence of that. Judges and prosecutors enjoy the protection of professional immunity. Accountability is virtually non-existent. The appeals systems are clunky and provide little support to those wishing to avail themselves of redress.
A national Criminal Cases Review Commission would go some way towards reducing wrongful convictions – and reducing the delays inherent in current processes.

This gimmick is added to make the secure more enticing (prospects also want a wonderful 5 spoke handle in the middle of the door), nevertheless, it is the most impractical place to put the handle. It does not enable shaft support so it has a excessive chance of the clutch getting free and wobbling. Clutches and shear pins are wanted for this linkage design. They're made to interrupt when the protected is being attacked, but this makes it more susceptible of being broken into by merely beating the handle up and down. Or, a bit lady playing round, jerking on the handle while it's locked can get you locked out and needing a locksmith. One other drawback is cluttering of the secure door with loads of transferring parts mainly because it needs to reach the handle. The perfect linkage designs will have a handle extra towards the left of the safe, whereas dealing with it.
