CSUSB graduates have the highest student loan debt average of any Cal State or UC in the State at $23,656.
Although CSUSB is the highest in the state, the state system ranks 46th in terms of students leaving with highest debt.
The debt ratio is the amount owed by every graduate of this university.
This is according to the website projectonstudentdebt.org, which is an initiative of the Institute for College Access & Success (TICAS), a nonprofit independent research and policy organization dedicated to making college more available and affordable to people of all backgrounds.
The data used in this study are reported by colleges in response to surveys based on the common data set (CDS).
The CDS is a shared survey instrument used by publishers of college guides.
According to the site, the state averages are based on the 1,057 colleges that reported both the percent of graduating students with loans and their average debt to Peterson’s, and reported granting bachelor’s degrees in IPEDS.
These colleges represent about 55 percent of all public and nonprofit four-year colleges and 79 percent of all bachelor’s degree recipients in these sectors in 2010-11.
Limitations in the study include colleges to report cumulative debt from both federal and private (nonfederal) loans.
Some public colleges may not be aware of all the private loans their students carry.
Around two-thirds (62 percent) are private nonprofit colleges, which is similar to the ratio found among all colleges.
With rise in tuition going up, student loans will continue to be an important part in funding students college tuition, and it also adds an additional level of stress.
“Right after graduation I have to think about an internship or a steady job because I’ll only have six months to begin to pay it back,” said student Lily Castro.
However, other students have said that they aren’t worried about it at the moment, but perhaps should be paying much more attention to their loans.
“My major is accounting and there is a pretty good job stability in that field,” said student Elizabeth Villela.
However, after informing her on the statistics, she had a slight change of heart.
“I feel that the reason why I’m not so worried is that I don’t pay attention to my students loans as much as I should, but I should start doing that right away,” said Villela.
With having to pay all that money back, some students have taken precautions to spend their money wisely.
“I try to budget accordingly and try to not spend so much at school being that on a given day you can spend up to $20,” said student Krystal Muongpruan.
Students have taken up one or more jobs in order to refrain from spending all of their student loans and coming up with ways to save money.
“I pay rent and must work two jobs in order to maintain my lifestyle as I want a slight cushion in my bank account and do things like cook at home to avoid spending everyday because that adds up,” said Castro.

What is the first thing a Beginning Teacher should do when qualified and before commencing his/her teaching career?
Induction is the first stage of a teacher’s professional development and is ideally completed in his/her first year of teaching.
‘The overall aim of Induction is to continue to address the GTCNI Competences and Core Values and to encourage the Beginning Teacher to develop their critical reflective practice in order to improve their teaching and the quality of pupil learning which … will not be fully developed during Initial Teacher Education.’ (Teacher Education Partnership Handbook, Section 4.1) The Career Entry Profile, which highlights the Beginning Teacher’s strengths and areas for development as they emerge from Initial Teacher Training, is a crucial bridging document into Induction.
A programme of EA and, where appropriate, school-based professional development is provided to Beginning Teachers by the Education Authority’s Induction and EPD Team aimed at supporting their successful completion of the core requirements of Induction. This is the first step in the process of reflective professional learning and is the beginning of career-long professional development. The programme is supplemented by online information and resources from the Education Authority’s Induction and EPD website.
Where a BT does not have the opportunity to complete Induction in one school, the following applies:
- The BT compiles their Induction portfolio with the required evidence, (Action Plan 1, CPD records, extra-curricular evidence, where appropriate) and the Teacher Tutor’s completed ‘Interim Review Report’
- The BT presents this evidence to the second (and any subsequent) school and, with the school’s agreement, continues the process, completing Action Plan 2 and including it with further CPD and extra-curricular evidence in their portfolio, in order to complete the Induction stage. When ready, the ‘Summative Report on Induction’ will be completed by the second or further school, which will also take responsibility for signing the teacher off Induction by completing and sending the ‘Letter of Successful Completion of Induction’ to the GTCNI.
BTs should refer to the ‘What if … Induction’ scenarios for further advice if not in full time employment.
Can a Beginning Teacher complete the Northern Ireland Induction process if he/she is: (a) outside the UK jurisdiction; or (b) outside the statutory school setting?
(a) Outside the UK jurisdiction - A BT who qualifies in Northern Ireland but who takes up a teaching position in a school outside the United Kingdom, cannot complete the Northern Ireland Induction process. However, if a BT takes up a position in a British/International school which is ‘OFSTED-approved’, then he/she can complete the equivalent NQT year. This is clarified in the DfE publication ‘Induction for Newly Qualified Teachers (England)’, which states (p 9) that “Induction can be served in an independent school overseas which:
- has been inspected by a DfE-accredited inspectorate within the last six years against the Standards for Inspection of British Schools Overseas; and
- has satisfactorily met all of those standards/categories; and
- is a member of an organisation which the DfE has determined may represent such schools”
(b) Outside statutory school setting - A BT who qualifies in Northern Ireland but who teaches in any of the following contexts during their first year of teaching cannot complete the Northern Ireland Induction process.
- Homework Centres
- Charities e.g. Barnardos
- Home Tutor Roles
- Vocational/Training programmes
- Voluntary Playgroups
- Further Education Colleges
However, for both outside the UK and outside statutory school settings, it is advised that the Beginning Teacher:
- familiarises him/herself with the requirements of the Northern Ireland Induction process on the Education Authority’s Induction and EPD website
- keeps their knowledge and understanding of the Northern Ireland Curriculum up-to-date through background reading and research
- builds upon the Career Entry Profile, allowing them to maintain a portfolio of evidence of reflective practice while teaching outside the UK or outside the statutory school setting within Northern Ireland. Should he/she later return to Northern Ireland and/or to mainstream teaching, it will be at the discretion of the employing school as to whether or not this evidence will contribute to the completion of his/her Induction portfolio.
What arrangements should apply to Beginning Teachers who have not completed Induction in the last country in which employed?
The teacher is required to complete the Northern Ireland Induction process.
Can a teacher who trains in NI and whose first year of teaching is in GB, complete Induction there during that year?
Yes the teacher can do so, as England, Scotland and Wales operate similar arrangements for Induction. However, it is important that the teacher presents formal documentation to confirm successful completion of the equivalent Induction stage upon their return to Northern Ireland.
What arrangements apply to those Newly Qualified Teachers who trained in Great Britain but whose first year of teaching is in Northern Ireland?
A BT who qualifies in other parts of the UK but whose first year of teaching is in Northern Ireland is required to complete the Northern Ireland Induction process.
The Teacher Education Partnership Handbook, available from the Department of Education’s website and the Education Authority’s Induction and EPD website, outlines the role of the Board of Governors of a school in confirming, on the recommendation of the Principal, when the Beginning Teacher has successfully completed the core requirements of Induction and may commence Early Professional Development.
How will the next school know that the Induction stage has been completed in Northern Ireland or Great Britain, especially if some time elapses between periods of employment?
The Principal should ask the teacher to present their copy of the ‘letter to confirm the successful completion of Induction’ which will have been signed on behalf of the Board of Governors in the school where Induction was undertaken. The Principal can also seek confirmation from the GTCNI, 3rd Floor, Albany House, 73-75 Great Victoria Street, Belfast. In the event of a teacher returning to NI having completed their first year of teaching in England, Scotland or Wales, the teacher is required to present formal documentation to confirm successful completion of the equivalent Induction stage.
What does a school need to do in the case of a teacher coming to teach in Northern Ireland from the European Union or beyond?
Firstly, the teacher must apply for GTCNI registration. Secondly, the school should consider the teacher’s level and breadth of experience in order to determine:
- the appropriate CLPD stage for the teacher
- the level of support it may need to put in place to enable the teacher to integrate fully into the Northern Ireland education system
Yes. It is the school’s and Teacher Tutor’s responsibility to send a copy of the letter confirming the teacher’s successful completion of Induction to the GTCNI, 3rd Floor, Albany House, Great Victoria Street, Belfast BT2 7AF. In addition, the school should retain a copy for its records, provide the teacher with a copy of the letter and send a copy to the Education Authority’s Induction and EPD Team.
Records for teachers who completed Induction prior to September 2009, are held by Teachers’ Salaries and Administration Branch of the Department of Education, Waterside House, 75 Duke Street, Londonderry, BT47 6FP.
No. However, it is recommended that BTs engage with and complete the stage as soon as is possible and practicable. Teachers should also note that before being eligible for the upper pay scale, they must have completed Induction, EPD Year 1, EPD Year 2 and two further cycles of PRSD.
The Induction portfolio should act as a bridge to EPD. Areas for development highlighted in the Induction Summative Report should be used to inform the target setting process for the EPD Professional Development Activities. It may also, at the post EPD stage in a teacher’s CLPD, be used to inform the annual cycles of PRSD.

Adsforsex.com Review Is It a Scam?
Being that I’m active in marketing when I first heard the name Adsforsex.com I thought it was some sort of advertising company come to find out that it’s an adult dating website. I wouldn’t call Adsforsex.com a scam but what I will say to people that are thinking about signing up is make sure you read their terms and conditions first hand especially section E, 1 and 2 that talks about “This Service is for Amusement Purposes, only”. I like adult dating I’m active in it but it’s not for everyone there are certain sites that I won’t pay to join.
Personal thoughts on Adsforsex.com
Online dating in general is not for everyone a long time ago I used to join a dating website strictly off of reviews that was until I started meeting some of the people behind the reviews I have strong opinions about online dating but I will keep them to myself . Ads for sex and its network are growing the problem I have with sites like this is from my perspective they only seem to be targeting male members. I have yet to meet any legitimate people from this network if I did like I always do I would sing the websites praises.
Final thoughts on adsforsex.com
I don’t write posts to tell people what to do with their money it’s your money do wtf you want to do with it my personal thoughts is I don’t think adsforsex.com is a scam because they tell you everything in their terms I do think adsforsex is legitimate however I won’t be recommending anyone to them at this time. Any questions you have about adsforsex.com should be sent to them directly.
Presently when it comes to adult dating websites the only one I’m a fan of is Adult Friend Finder. Let me make something clear the only reason I’m a fan of Adult Friend Finder is because I’ve found success meeting people at Adult Friend Finder. Just because I’ve had success using Adult Friend Finder doesn’t mean you will too, I’m not putting myself on the line for none of you people I’ve met some of you in person in swinger clubs and in my opinion it’s clear to me why some of you are having trouble meeting someone and this applies to both men and women.
If you’re attitude is not right no online dating website can help you no dating website is perfect I choose Adult Friend Finder because I’m a part of the swingers community and Adult Friend Finder is a swingers adult dating website I hope this don’t sound harsh but I have to put this out there.

In Linux systems, everything is treated like a file and crucial metadata about a file such as the creation and modification date are stored in inodes. We have already looked at how you can check the last modified date of a file in Linux system using the stat, httpie and date commands.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to find file creation time using debugfs command.
Find file creation using debugfs
To get the creation time, you first need to find the inode number of the target file using the stat command. The stat command is a command-line tool used to print detailed information about a file's metadata such as:
- File size
- Inode number
- UID & GID of the file
- I/O Block
- Access, modification and change times.
You can use the stat command in its basic form to check the inode number of the file using the syntax:
$ stat filename
$ stat file1.txt
The command gives us the inode number of the file 'file1.txt' as 1078474. To skip all the other information and just display the inode number alone, use the syntax:
$ stat -c %i file_name
$ stat -c %i file1.txt
Once you have the inode number, you can proceed to easily get the file creation time using the debugfs command using the syntax shown:
$ sudo debugfs -R 'stat <inode number>' DEVICE
The DEVICE represents the block device where your file resides for example /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc. To check the block device run the command:
Using the inode number we got earlier on, the command will therefore be:
$ sudo debugfs -R 'stat <1078474>' /dev/sda
The creation time is prefixed by the directive crtime: as shown in the output above. We can see that the file was created on the 13th Fri December 2019 at 01:39:18 hrs.
Alternatively, instead of specifying the inode number, you can pass the full path to the file as shown:
$ sudo debugfs -R 'stat /home/winnie/file1.txt' /dev/sda1
The above command will yield the same results as when you are using the inode number.
And this wraps up this tutorial, hoping Linux would have a straight forward command to find file creation time. Here we have used debugfs command to check the creation time of a file.

Bob Dey's Tank Engine Man - Bob Dey's Dream
A hilariously-narrated concept cassette about the life happenings of the clueless, absentminded Mark Jumper. (Also periodically referred to as Mr. Talent.)
Bob Dey’s Dream documents the droll antics of Mark Jumer as he attends a party he apparently wasn’t invited to, performs a brief on-the-spot set at said party, and then loafs around eating cake. Side B explores “extreme places of the mind,” as Mr. Talent falls ill and totally TRIPS OUT after his post-partying stagger home.
Even from the very onset of the tape, the line begins to blur regarding what is reality and what is a dream—a perpetual question that is obviously not made any easier by the tape’s absurdist nature.
It’s like someone got locked into the school band room for the duration of summer vacation and got so bored they decided to use ALL the instruments they could find (and a pencil sharpener and some Funyuns bags) to make a cassette. The tape’s timeline perfectly chronicles the onset of their dementia, and becomes weirder and weirder as they start foaming at the mouth and their brain turns into oatmeal.
This is by far the wittiest tape I’ve heard to date. The dialogue is spot-on and gelastic, and includes lines which are either downright ridiculous, or which show evidence of flirting with brilliance. You be the jury. Take for example the following selections which I have hand-picked from a collection of quotes about whales, which are all set to a lovely sitar piece on Side B:
“Blue whale breath is far fouler after they’ve eaten. It not quite as offensive as grey whale breath, but it’s still very strong.”
“Aaaaaaah the grey whale! The grey whale… is the largest living automobile on the planet. That is why is sometimes called “The Whale Crowned.”
“The children [whales] too wear the velvet covers of their parents…”
“The grey whale can eat up to four ocean worms a day.”
Bob Dey’s Dream is clever and forward-thinking, with enough wry cake jokes to last a lifetime. The world would be a better place if people made more music like this.
(Bob Dey's Dream can be found on the Chicago-based PlusTapes label.)

At New Hope Elementary, our main goal is to maintain the best possible learning environment for student learning and achievement. This is a reminder about our dress code guidelines. As teachers, we are charged with enforcing the dress code set forth by the Henry County School System and making judgments about what we deem as inappropriate. We greatly appreciate your help with this matter. Please read the following dress code guidelines.
Students should come to school with their hair neat and well-groomed. Students must wear shoes to school (skate-shoes are not allowed). Clothing should be neat, clean, and worn properly (pants and skirts shall be worn at the waist). Clothing should not be too tight, too loose, too short, or too long, and should not have inappropriate writing or pictures. Extreme hair styles and unnatural colors that, in the opinion of the principal or the principal’s designee, would interfere with learning or be a health or safety hazard are not permitted. Wearing any clothing, jewelry or other items symbolizing gang affiliation is prohibited.
- Pants may not have holes above the knee.
- Shorts, skirts, culottes, split skirts or dresses must be no more than three inches above the knee. This includes with leggings or shorts underneath.
- Leggings, spandex, and yoga pants are acceptable as pants but the accompanied shirt (tunic) must completely cover the child’s bottom.
- All pants (including skinny jeans) and skirts shall be worn at the waist at all times.
- Hats or caps should not be worn during the school day.
- Tank, tube and halter-tops, including spaghetti or bikini straps and low cut shirts are not permitted. Sleeveless shirts are permitted as long as they extend to the shoulder and the straps are thick enough so that the undergarments are not visible. Please be mindful with V-neck shirts and low cut shirts.
- Shirts should not be transparent. If a shirt is transparent, students must wear a tank top or camisole underneath so that undergarments are not visible.
- Extreme Hair Styles– Hair color and style should not cause a disruption of the learning environment. Spiked mohawks are not allowed.
- If your child wears flip-flops to school, they will not be allowed to play on the playground equipment as it is a safety issue. Flip-flops break so often that we recommend not wearing them at all.
If dress code violations occur, the teacher will notify the parent in writing for the first offense unless the violation is deemed too inappropriate. If the violation warrants immediate action or the child has already received a written warning, then we will contact you to bring your child a change of clothes. If parents are unable to bring a change of clothes, a school shirt, if available, may be provided if it relieves the problem.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation regarding student dress code. Please contact Mrs. Miller or administration if you have any further questions about dress code.

|Cat-eLog Data Sheet|
|Scientific Name||Batasio convexirostrum Darshan, Anthangoibi & Vishwanath, 2011|
|Type Locality||India: Mizoram state, Lunglei District, Mat River (tributaryof Koladyne River) near Mat bridge.|
|Pronunciation||bah tah see oh - con vex ee rost rum|
|Etymology||The genus name comes from the local (Bengali) name of the fish (batasio or batashi). The specific name is derived from the Latin convexus, meaning rounded/curving out; and rostrum, meaning snout: formed as an adjective.|
|Identification||The bagrid genus Batasio Blyth comprises of small, laterally compressed catfishes distributed in South and Southeast Asia, diagnosed from its confamilials in having large sensory pores on the head, a narrow mental region, a pair of posteriorly-directed processes on the anterior part of vomer, a transversely-elongated bar-like entopterygoid, and the metapterygoid in close contact with the quadrate but free from the hyomandibular (Mo, 1991).
Batasio convexirostrum is distinguished from its congeners (except B. dayi, B. elongatusand B.procerus) in having a head and body coloration consisting of only a dark-brown vertical predorsal bar (vs. predorsal bar absent altogether, or if present, in combination with either a mid-lateral stripe, a dark-brown spot, or a series of vertical bars posteriorly) against a lighter-brown body. It differs from B. dayi in having a longer snout (length:39.2–45.5% HL vs. 35.5–38.7% HL), a greater number of pectoral-fin rays (9–10 vs. 8) and vertebrae (39–40 vs.36–38), and the dorsal fin dark grey at base and distal one-third, hyaline in between (vs. black, hyaline close to its base); and from both B. procerus and B. elongatus in having a shorter dorsal-to-adipose distance (1.7–4.1% SL vs.4.4–14.2), and fewer gill rakers on the first branchial arch (4–5 vs. 9–27). Batasio convexirostrum further differs from B. procerus in having a greater eye diameter (24.6–29.8 vs. 17.2–22.6% HL), a deeper head (19.6–21.7% SL vs. 16.8–18.6), a longer snout (39.2–45.5% HL vs. 33.8–38.3) and a longer pectoral-spine (14.6–17.6% SL vs. 8.9–13.2), a greater number of pectoral-fin rays (9–10 vs. 7–8), and fewer vertebrae (39–40 vs. 41–43); and from B.elongatus in having a deeper body (20.2–21.6% SL vs. 15.8–19.3) and a greater number of vertebrae (39–40 vs.36–38).
|General Remarks||Not exported for the trade as yet.|
|Distribution||The species is presently known only from the Koladyne River and the Mat River (a tributary of the former) in Mizoram State, India.
Indian waters, North Eastern India Waters, Kaladan (click on these areas to find other species found there)
African Waters, Angola Waters, Mat (click on these areas to find other species found there)
|Temperature||20.0-25.0°C or 68-77°F (Show species within this range)|
|Other Parameters||The water should be cool and heavily oxygenated with a good flow as these fish occur in hill streams.Anything above 25 C will hamper long term survival as these fish tend to burn away at higher temperatures.|

Cingrani continues dominance, fans 1205/19/2012 2:34 AM ET
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com
Pitching in his first full professional season, Tony Cingrani believes he will be in Bakersfield for a while. That's bad news for the rest of the California League.
The Reds' No. 12 prospect continued his run as the league's dominant hurler Friday, striking out 12 while giving up one run on five hits over six innings. That wasn't quite enough for the Class A Advanced Blaze, who dropped a 6-3 decision to the Lake Elsinore Storm.
The 12 punchouts were a season high for Cingrani, who fanned 13 for short-season Billings last Aug. 27.
"Tonight, after throwing something in the dirt, we'd usually go outside with a fastball," Cingrani said. "I threw a couple two-strike breaking balls in the dirt for strikeouts. The breaking ball and fastball were my two [pitches] tonight."
Cingrani set the tone early, generating his first six outs via strikeouts. He ended his night nearly the same way, fanning five batters in the fifth and sixth innings.
"The first two innings, there's a big white wall in center field and maybe I was throwing out of it," Cingrani said. "It didn't seem like they were seeing me too well. After that, I threw a lot of sliders and changeups for strikes. Pretty much everything was working."
In between his strong start and finish, the 22-year-old left-hander encountered his lone trouble spot in the fourth. He surrendered a leadoff homer to Tommy Medica and a double to Padres' No. 2 prospect Rymer Liriano two batters later. But he worked out of further trouble by fanning Everett Williams and retiring Eddy Rodriguez on a ground ball.
The five hits were the second-highest total Cingrani's given up this year. And while he pitches in the hitter-friendly Cal League, he has not allowed more than one earned run in any of his eight starts. He leads the circuit with a 0.78 ERA and 65 strikeouts over 46 innings.
"Moving the fastball around, not leaving it over the middle and not leaving it up," Cingrani said of keys to success. "If you go low in the zone and go inside-outside, you're keeping them guessing. Usually, you're going to have a groundout or a popup, not very solid contact."
Despite his success, Cingrani is not concerned about when he will move on to the next level. For now, he's content with the way things are going in Bakersfield.
"They have said that I was staying until the All-Star break, so I'm just here to do what I need to do," he said. "I'm just going to keep going out every fifth day and try to do what I did today. I'm not too worried about that, it is my first year here. I'm more worried about getting those innings in and staying healthy. The rest of it is out of my control."
Medica finished with two homers, a double and four RBIs, while Chris Bisson also plated a pair of runs for the Storm.
Donn Roach (7-0) earned his league-leading seventh win by allowing two unearned runs on two hits over seven innings. He struck out four and walked two as he lowered his ERA to 1.69.

Imagine being 80 or 90 years of age.
Who do you see in your future? A weak, frail person or one who is robust, vigorous and strong.
Instead of seeing a weak, frail, inflexible and wheel-chair bound person, envision someone who has a crazy and uncommon kind of “old man strength.”
No, I’m not talking about “dad strength” – the kind you pursue in your 40’s, to prevent having a severe mid-life crisis.
When I say “old man strength,” I’m referring to a concealed type of energy, one that is undetectable through observation alone.
With this type of strength, if you’re in a park, wrestling room or MMA-style dojo, young martial artists and fighters who are training take note. You’re the 70, 80 or 90-year old guy who gladly tosses people around, and does so with ease.
What you do doesn’t seem physically possible to them. Yet, with a light touch, they are bounced away.
Despite the young athletes big muscles, ripped and chiseled physiques, they can’t do anything to you because they don’t have the secret strength that you embody.
Unbeknownst to these youngsters, they spent all their time working on the wrong system – the muscular system. Meanwhile, you invested your time in the training of your tendons, ligaments and fascia, something they were never taught.
As a result, despite your chronological age, internally, you are full of vitality and power.
The younger crowd studies videos of you in action. They watch you in slow motion, forwards and backwards. They take still shots of what they believe to be your secret. They draw diagrams and begin to instruct others in the “proper” way to move. They even create products that will help others move the correct way.
Yet, in spite of all their analysis, they still cannot duplicate what you do because they cannot observe what you are doing internally.
And what you are doing internally makes all the difference.
Good news: You can NOW get both of these courses immediately via digital download (or we can ship the product to you). Either way is fine by us.
Both courses are currently available at a substantial discount, which means you’ll not only save big, you’ll be in a much better position to…
Kick ass – take names.
P.S. Yes, I’ve met old men in their 70’s and 80’s with the old-man internal strength I’ve written about in this email. What they can do is downright frightening. That’s why I think having a vision of being the one in the park with similar strength, is a worthy ideal. It sure beats letting yourself deteriorate or beating yourself into submission with the wrong way of training.

TERRACE GALLERY BLOG 22/03/2020
In these uncertain times, when stuck at home, make use of the great gift of time you have been given and create.
We have an unprecedented opportunity to take a step back from your busy life to do something constructive. Our studio artists are doing just that. With no distractions from social get-togethers or events, they have immersed themselves in their passion. The paints are out. The canvases are prepped. And their minds are filling with positive, inspirational ideas.
Mentally the last few weeks have been tough on everyone. It’s easy to lose perspective when you have no routine, and some people feel adrift with no safety net. Setting yourself a goal is an excellent way of challenging your mind and making time pass quickly. All those thoughts of what has been, or what is coming can be put aside. Whether your natural creative outlet is music, writing, sculpting, quilt making, batik or painting, now is the time to reconnect with what you enjoy.
Art is just one of the creative outlets that can help people explore emotion. Whether it is created or only observed, art is fantastic for lowering stress levels. You don’t need to be a Master of Art to appreciate art, and you don’t need to have qualifications to create it. Your tools can be as expensive or as cheap as you please. You can collage, colour, draw, paint or sculpture with an abundance of materials. You can collect items from nature, your home or the office. Sketchbooks can be made from scraps of paper or brought from shops, it makes no difference. You can keep your work to yourself or show others. You don’t even need to have any artistic ability.
Gaining inspiration can be a stumbling block for some. If you have access to a computer, you can find images that inspire you, take virtual tours of museums or follow online tutorials. Glyn Macey, a mixed media from Marazion, has generously offered everyone currently stuck at home the chance to tap into his online tutorials for FREE. With seventy full tutorials to choose from, that’s a lot of inspiration!
Another generous local artist, Eve Bourrat, who runs mixed media workshops at the gallery as well as Sketch Club Falmouth, has found another way to inspire her dedicated followers. Her weekly briefs for her regular drop-in sketching sessions are now sent by email to encourage everyone who usually attends to keep creating.
Although all our own creative events have been cancelled, we are going to fill our window space with beautiful artwork to inspire everyone to start creating themselves.
We would like to showcase anything you make, paint or create during your time at home on our dedicated web page. The only restrictions are that your photos have to be in a jpeg format (under 2mb) they to have been created during the #stayathome crisis, and submissions are limited to one piece per person per month. Send your photos to us info@terracegallery with a little description/story and your web address if you have one.
Go crazy and create!!!…

Members of the National Assembly during a past session of Parliament. [File, Standard]
Lawmakers have hatched a secret scheme to frustrate the Punguza Mizigo Bill that seeks to reduce their number from 416 to 147, The Standard can reveal.
It has emerged that MPs are plotting to exploit a loophole in the Constitution by ‘sitting’ on the Bill should it get the backing of at least 24 county assemblies as required for it to be submitted to Parliament.
Article 257 of the Constitution that provides for the popular initiative path does not give timelines within which Parliament should introduce the Bill, handing lawmakers a lethal weapon against the initiative.
“If a county assembly approves the draft Bill within three months after the date it was submitted by the Commission, the speaker of the county assembly shall deliver a copy of the draft Bill jointly to the speakers of the two Houses of Parliament, with a certificate that the county assembly has approved it.
“If a draft Bill has been approved by a majority of the county assemblies, it shall be introduced in Parliament without delay,” reads the Article.
Several MPs disclosed that they may decide to exploit the loophole in a protest against the Ekuru Aukot-led Thirdway Alliance for allegedly not engaging stakeholders in coming up with the Bill.
The Punguza Mizigo Bill, which also proposes a single seven-year presidential term and installs Senate as the upper house, however, was backed by 1.2 million voters — more than the 1 million needed for the electoral commission to submit the draft Bill to county assemblies.
At the heart of the plot is a bid by MPs to protect President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition chief Raila Odinga’s Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which is expected to come up with a Bill for a referendum.
Raila has expressly asked his supporters to ignore the Punguza Mizigo Bill, and yesterday the Siaya county assembly rejected it after members approved a Justice Committee report that recommended its rejection.
Jubilee, through Secretary General Raphael Tuju, has said the ruling party was for the BBI, giving the strongest indication that the two main parties may use their numerical strengths in both county assemblies and Parliament to frustrate the passage of the Bill.
Lawyer Nzamba Kitonga – who chaired the committee of experts that wrote the 2010 Constitution – yesterday said the drafters of the law did not provide specific timelines because “it was envisaged that Parliament at some point will be on recess”.
Mr Nzamba, however, said MPs are expected to give such a Bill priority and introduce it as soon as practically possible.
Constitutional lawyer Bobi Mkangi, who was also a member of the committee, concurred that Parliament can exploit the loophole to frustrate the Bill.
“It will depend on the procedure of Parliament. They can actually sit on it, unless there is some political pressure from outside to compel MPs to act,” Mr Mkangi said.
Yesterday, Minority Leader in the National Assembly John Mbadi dropped the bombshell when he revealed that Parliament can decide to ‘sit’ on the Bill until the term of the current Parliament expires.
Mr Mbadi said they have no specific timelines within which the House should take a position on the Bill.
“This Bill is very unpopular with MPs of both Houses. We may decide not to make any decision on it and delay it as much as we can,” said Mbadi.
“They have been going round saying we are ceremonial in the process, not knowing that there is a loophole in the law. The only referendum that will take place is that of the BBI,” he added.
Similar sentiments were shared by Makueni MP Dan Maanzo, who said the Bill needs the goodwill of Parliament to get to the referendum stage.
“They never consulted anybody; we would have given it some thought. With the gaps in the law, we can decide to sit on it and wait for the BBI to publish its Bill so that we can decide what document to back,” said Mr Maanzo.
“Parliament can hold it at ransom since there is no law compelling MPs to prioritise it in the order paper.’’
Minority Whip Junet Mohamed said Punguza Mizigo was not one of the Bills requiring priority.
“Parliament has so many Bills to deal with and Punguza Mizigo is not one of them. Thirdway Alliance will have to wait to have an MP to push its agenda,” he said.
Instructively, the powerful House Business Committee, which schedules house business, is dominated by a Jubilee-ODM group, which means it can delay listing the proposal on the order paper.
Maanzo, who is also a lawyer, however, explained that the movers of the initiative may go to court to push for its introduction in the two Houses.
National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale claimed the Bill would not go beyond county assemblies.
“I can tell you that Punguza Mizigo is dead on arrival. You cannot reduce the number of constituencies without any justification.”
He added that the number of constituencies were increased due to a growing population, and there was no way MPs would allow the passage of the Bill that would take away the right to representation.
“He is not telling us how he arrived at the decision to reduce the number of constituencies. Unless he tells us that population has gone down, we will not support that Bill,” Mr Duale said.
Nominated MP Isaac Mwaura also said that there are many loopholes that can be exploited to stall the initiative.
Mr Mwaura said the law was silent on the number of initiatives for a referendum that can be conducted at any given time, as well as when a referendum can be held.
But MPs Didmus Barasa (Kimilili) and Eseli Simiyu (Tongaren) said it would be unfair for the two Houses to exploit the loophole since the matter was of public interest. Mr Barasa added that the Bill has some of proposals that should be backed by MPs.
However, Mkangi said, Thirdway Alliance will have to endure political attacks in its quest since a referendum was a political contest that has become a tool for political mobilisation.

Case Study 4
This government innovation unit was set up to address technology challenges facing some of the most critical front-line public services. Established in 2017, its purpose is to deliver impact through a radically re-imagined delivery model and novel ways of working. It provides a highly effective means for collaboration between public and private sectors, with a large community of diverse, selected suppliers bringing industry capabilities to the development of solutions.
This unit serves customers from different government departments and public sector agencies, measuring success on the impact it delivers under demanding time pressures and in the most cost-effective ways.
The client needed to become more visible across the public sector and to effectively engage a complex range of stakeholders. While unique, it also needed to define its position within an ecosystem of innovation functions across government. Crucially, it had to demonstrate its capabilities and promote its successes in order to create a pipeline of new work and to justify ongoing investment.
The ability to achieve these goals was being seriously hampered by the incumbent communications agency’s failure to win the necessary trust from senior leadership, leading to an inability to deliver in any meaningful way. In addition, their traditional agency model and fixed retainer arrangement resulted in poor value for money.
Smart/tasking provided an on-demand Newsdesk MarComms service offering a breadth of capabilities, focusing on journalism-driven content, strategic messaging, branding, design, infographics and video production.
The on-demand aspect gave the client control over costs, consuming different elements of the service as demand arose, thus ensuring value by dispensing with the fixed retainer model.
What did smart/tasking do?
smart/tasking deployed a strategic communications lead backed by an experienced team with the necessary blend of skills who immediately addressed the most pressing problems with delivery of high-impact written content and design collateral.
A phased re-brand was rolled out to create a solid foundation for subsequent communications and to provide a powerful visual identity for stakeholder and customer engagements.
The Newsdesk communications service developed enduring, repeatable core communications assets to articulate a compelling strategic narrative while building out processes, templates, content and collateral to support day-to-day activities.
It developed and deployed a Communications Strategy that sets a path for increased pubic and stakeholder awareness.
The smart/tasking Newsdesk communications lead gained an early understanding of the client’s vision and ambitions, while being alert to the nuances and sensitivities of the environment in which they operated. A trusted relationship was quickly established with senior leadership that made possible a pro-active role in shaping the way the client organisation told its story.
As well as supporting the client’s leadership and core operational team, the smart/tasking service was consistently utilised to bring customer project communications to life and assist with stakeholder relations.
Initially engaged on a three-month trial basis, the Newsdesk communications team and capabilities have grown to meet new demands and has now been delivering a highly-regarded service for two years.
Following the successful foundational work, the smart/tasking Newsdesk communications service was tasked with achieving greater public visibility through the establishment of a GOV.UK presence and the organisation’s first steps onto the web and social media.

We’re back with the best ship of all times:
Our last stop was at the beginning of 2016, and it’s through these troubled waters that we’ll sail today.
If 2015 was a golden year for our ship, 2016 was complicated. We begin with the famous IFH (Interview of Hell), where Sam and Cait publicly denied for the first time that they are not in a romantic relationship. Many thought it would be the end of the shipp.
They said they were not together, so we had to “believe” it, but nothing is as easy as that, and with our couple things are not always as they seem.
Was everything in those two years (2014 and 2015) a lie? An illusion? Are we delusional?
A while after the interview, already recovering from the shock, we started to think straight again and the answer is: NO! No one here is delusional!
We know what we have seen and heard. Only time will tell.
And yes, time confirmed our beliefs. Our eyes are always open!
2016 can be considered a bittersweet year, then. And from there on all years were the same.
“DAYS OF FIGHT AND DAYS OF GLORY!”
Okaaay, intern, no need to be cheesy!
On the first HiPS, we said that we, shippers, believed that Sam and Cait were in a relationship despite publicly being in relationships with other people.
It was in 2016 that these relationships began. Well, at least that’s what they say.
Mackenzie Mauzy (chocolate thingy), was presented to the Outlander fandom. Her name came up in an anonymous message to a shipper (Jess’ Blog) and after that we started to watch a series of innuendoes and such. She became known as “Sam’s girlfriend”, but Sam himself never confirmed that.
In April 2016, she posted the first pictures in Scotland. Pictures of her alone and of landscapes, none with him.
Sam also posted pictures of the same place, around the same time, but notice that he is not in none of them. They are only landscapes and mountains.
The curious factor in these photos is that Mauzy has never been so “reserved” about her relationships on SM. She dated actor Billy Magnussen, who was her romantic pair in the movie Into the Woods and the two have always been very open about their relationship.
Shortly before the photos in Scotland, she made a trip to Puerto Rico with Billy and friends.
All the details about this you can read in our tutorial how to get a boyfriend!
On June 12th, Denise Pleune, STARZ employee, posted this picture here on facebook:
Look at this photo! Pay close attention to it.
What is the real intention of posting such a photo?
It seems that the only reason is to show Sam talking to MM behind her. And look at the caption. It draws attention to the Outlander fans. Great way to spread the word!
Well, think with me, Sam always says he likes to keep his private life private, right?
So that would not be an invasion of his privacy? And coming from someone who works for the network?
At this same time, in June, another person was introduced to the Outlander fandom, mainly the shippers.
Yes, himself, Captain Kirk of Star Trek. But what does he have to do with it, SIS? Well, we do not know for sure yet. Sam posted these photos on his IG account and it seems to be from a visit to Shatner’s ranch:
And from there on, Shatner and his assistant Paul Camuso (he works for him, but we don’t know for sure which are his post) constantly posting talking about Sam, his girlfriend MM and trashing shippers.
How shippers are deluded by fantasizing about the relationship of Sam and Cait are their flag. Yeah, they don’t seem to care much about shippers. It is also another question that we are trying to understand. Well and speaking of things that we don’t understand, Camuso’s Twitter profile is also difficult to assimilate.
A little creepy, right?
Okay then, inserted in this context is where we start our trip today.
Destination number 1 – Los Angeles
Yes, Los Angeles, California. Another mystery has occurred here involving our favorite couple.
On June 22nd of 2016, a picture of Sam with a fan in a Baseball game was posted on IG.
So everyone knew that Sam was there. A few days later, a video appears on Tumblr, where can we see Sam coming out of his seat and behind him is MM.
Some people on IG said they saw Sam in the game with his “girlfriend”, a blond woman and that they were together. We went to look at those people’s IG accounts and they look like fake profiles. Accounts with 4 followers, following nobody and private… They seem to have been created for one purpose.
But SIS, why are you talking about this game?
Let’s explain: on the day of the game, a person who was there, posted this photo on his IG.
Look who’s back there: Sam!
He has the same shirt, same cap from the photo with the fan and videos with MM and the hair is also the same. But look at who he’s holding. Does not look like a blonde…
A brunette with long hair. Do we know someone who looks like that?
Shippers are sure that was Cait and antis say it’s not and that was not even Sam in the photo with the brunette… a bit confused?!
Was it Sam? Was it not Sam? Was he with Cait or was he with MM?
So let’s go to the analyzes.
First, let’s take a closer look at the seat locations from where Sam was with Cait and where Sam comes out with MM.
For this analysis, we asked for a tumblr’s friend help who is very good with photos and videos. We always like her posts and she was very kind in doing this one for us. Thank you so much, Reilly130!
“I believe that one of the arguments from the other side is that the person in Mike Reis’ IG photo is not Sam because he’s not wearing the same shirt/hat and he’s not in the same section as Sam and MM in the video. Neither is true.
The IG picture below shows that Sam and Cait are in a section of the stadium that only has 6 (in the lower section) or 7 (in the upper section) seats (most other sections have at least 8 seats). I believe this is Field Box 15.
I’ve put a square around two older gentlemen that look to be in the same row and section as Sam and Cait, but are actually in the next section over (Field box 17) . These gentlemen appear both in this picture and the Sam/MM video.
Here is a gif showing that section (Field Box 15 and 17) from Dodgers Stadium. Note that the arrows are only pointing at the side of the section, not the specific seats as I don’t know what those were.
A closer look at the gentlemen shows that both have gray hair and have somewhat unique clothing for the game. One has a hoodie on and the other has a light collared shirt.
By the time the video was taken, the game was over and many people had left, but the two older gentlemen were still in their seats. You can see them in the video when Sam and MM start to walk up the aisle to leave. They are walking up the aisle to the right of those gentlemen.
So Sam is leaving from the same section as Sam was sitting in with Cait, just from the opposite side of that section.
To claim that the man in the IG photo and the man in the video aren’t the same person based on their clothing being different is also ludicrous because it’s very clear that both have the same tshirt and same hat on. Their build and hair are also the same.
From what I observed of the video, the person taking it knew exactly where Sam and MM were standing and took a quick shot of them, then pulled the camera away resulting in shaky video of the floor and landing she was standing in for several seconds.
My guess as to why? She was letting Sam or MM know she was there because as soon as she refocused the camera on them, they started to leave. That’s quite the coincidence.
Sam is also looking down when the camera refocuses on them, and you can see he has his phone in his hand later in the video as he’s leaving, so he may have been looking down at a message received. Obviously that’s just a guess and can’t be proven, but makes sense based on the timing.
Sam left and MM followed a few feet behind.
When he got to the top of the landing, he looked back quickly, but I think he looked over MM’s head (whether to the field or looking at Cait possibly leaving is anyone’s guess as it was very brief), but he definitely wasn’t looking longingly or lovingly at MM as a screencap might make it look and the other side wants people to believe. He then turned and walked out briskly leaving MM a good distance behind
Like Cait, Sam apparently doesn’t like to walk with his alleged “SO”, but instead wants them to walk a few paces behind. Aah, true love!
Well, regarding the seats I guess it’s pretty clear now!
Another thing that is very contested is Cait’s height and the woman in the photo. To make the comparison we call our anatomy specialist
It’s interesting when we look at a Sam and Caitriona’s picture when she’s not in high heels. She’s quite shorter than him, which is easily seen when she takes her heels off. On such occasion, if they were face-to-face, with their heads upright, Sam would not be able to see Caitriona because she would not reach his visual field / level.
In fact, by comparing their height side by side, we can see that the top of Cait’s head reaches exactly in Sam’s cheekbone. This structure is actually called the zygomatic bone.
In the picture of the game they’re both standing, so this facilitates and corroborates with what was highlighted above.
Any doubts left?
There are reports that a friend of Mackenzie’s, Paydin, had posted photos of this game and that chocolate thingy was with her. But she deleted the photos later. We can not say, but as it is quite common for people to suffer from PRD (Post, Regret and Delete) sindrome, we do not rule out this possibility. And then the story would be that MM was in the game with her friend and Sam with Cait, and at the end of the game, MM joined Sam to have her friend make that video of them together and put it online.
And so it was done. Except that no one expected that a picture of a baseball fan would appear that had nothing to do with the story but that ended, unintentionally, being responsible for another big receipt. Thank you so much!!!
What do you think happened? Could this have been the story?
We are leaving now for our next destination and we will not even need to use our passports. We will continue in the USA.
Destination number 2 – New York
In July 2016, Sam went to a Piaget event in New York. It had nothing to do with Outlander. He posted a photo of the event on IG:
He also gave interviews. In one of them you can hear a very familiar voice.
A woman talking about a picture of a cat with bow tie…
Hmm, who owns a cat, again?
The voice, the accent and her singular way of speaking, matches with Eddie’s momma.
There’s also this picture.
Does it look like Cait?
A tall, dark-haired woman with a very similar voice and accent.
What are the odds? Is it her?
Still in New York, days latter, Sam and a fan took a picture on the street.
And behind them, in the reflection of the window, there’s also a woman!
This was Sam’s trip for professional purposes, that had nothing to do with Outlander. Why would Cait be with him?
And now we’re going to leave for our third and last destination today.
Destination number 3 – Paris
Yes! Paris again! I told you that we would come back here. And for a great occasion: Cait’s birthday.
October 4, 2016. They were shooting Outlander and the day started with a fuzz. Dora received happy bday from everyone, Sam included!
And this famous and very interesting little tweet by fellow Outlander actress, Rosie Day (Mary from season 2):
Telling Sam to take good care of her? On her birthday day? It’s pretty weird, right?! Especially if Sam has a girlfriend he should take care of and… FOCUS!
Anyway, later that day, Cait announced that she had finished shooting and that she was going to travel to celebrate her bday. The destination of the trip would be France, according to the emojis.
Later, Sam posted this picture of a bag of nuts (we know he loves it), and the place of the photo looks a lot like the interior of an airplane!
He disappeared from his SMs that weekend. Only showed up to answer this tweet that besides mentioning Cait, he was tagged.
She was in a Louis Vuitton fashion show.
And then the After Party, where Dora showed up as well.
All good, Cait went to Paris, attended a fashion show, went to the party, celebrated her birthday. All right. But then after a while, this pic came out:
Did you see what I saw?
Is that …. A forehead? This is a forehead hard to forget, right?
You guys, it’s him!
Sam, what was he doing in Paris? Was he with her, then? That forehead seems unmistakable. Is it really his?
Is it possible that ALL the places they go, a doppelganger shows up in photos, videos and audios? It would be the only reasonable explanation.
In November 2016, we had the BAFTA awards and Sam and Cait were competing. A few days before, Jess’s blog on tumblr received news from an anonymous that MM would go to the awards, which was a last minute arrangement and Sam would be quite angry.
That is what happened. MM went, Cait won the award, thanked her life partner, Sam, and he was not happy at all.
He posted a picture of him with Cait on IG congratulating the Wifey and no photo with the “girlfriend”.
And let’s not forget, Tobrian was also at the BAFTA. But we’ll talk about him in another part of the trip…
Our trip today ends here. 2017 we are coming for you… Here we go!

I have to honest. I don’t really feel like blogging. It’s only Wednesday and already it’s been a tough week and it’s not about to get easier. Because of this, this will be my last post of the week.
Yesterday, we got news that my (great) Uncle Lyle has passed away after a difficult couple of months of bad health. I heard this news via text message and instantly burst into tears.
My grandpa on my dad’s side got into an accident and became ill when I was very young. I actually don’t have any childhood memories of my grandpa when he was well. My grandpa’s sister was my Aunt Elaine. For as long as I remember, while my other grandparents weren’t there, my Aunt Elaine and Uncle Lyle were there for every holiday, birthday and just random visits. We were very close. That’s why when we got married and had the “grandparent” picture, I insisted they were in it.
I can never thank Uncle Lyle for all those years that he was in my life like I was his blood grand daughter. He was a great man to look up to and I am so thankful for all the years and memories I have with him. I love you and I’ll miss you.
While we are being together as a family and going through the emotions and events after someone you love passes, I have to also prepare for surgery tomorrow.
Back in November, shortly after my birthday, I went through a traumatic experience at the hospital while there for a Bartholin’s cyst. It has been something that I have been battling with ever since and has continued to worsen. On Thursday, I will finally be having it dealt with as the wonderful surgeon will be operating to remove both (yes I have developed a second cyst) Bartholin gland cysts. It will just be a day surgery and I am both nervous yet excited. It will be such a relief to not have to deal with this issue anymore.
Since I will most likely be drugged up come Friday, I will not be doing another post this week. For the rest of the week I am signing off to be with family and to deal with some personal issues.
I hope the rest of everyone’s week is great.

Discovery of Tellurium
In the 1700s, scientists were confused by a substance found in various ores.
Although they could not isolate the substance, the properties of the ores seemed to indicate that that the substance had both metallic and non-metallic properties.
They called the new substance ‘aurum paradoxum’ meaning paradoxical/illogical gold or ‘metallum problematum’ meaning problem metal.
In 1782, Austro-Hungarian mineralogist Baron Franz Muller von Reichenstein purified a substance, which he believed to contain antimony, from a Transylvanian gold ore. (We now know this ore was actually gold telluride, AuTe2, often known as calaverite.)
Muller came to believe that his initial thoughts were wrong and that he might be dealing with a new element. (3)
He sent a small sample to Torbern Bergman in Uppsala, Sweden, who replied in April 1784, agreeing that the substance did not contain antimony. Bergman asked for more samples so that he could study the substance further, but he died in July of that year. (4)
Twelve years later, Muller sent a sample to Martin H. Klaproth in Berlin, who isolated the tellurium. In 1798, Klaproth publicly confirmed the existence of a new element in the sample sent to him by Muller.
Klaproth named the new element tellurium. The name comes from the Latin word ‘tellus’ meaning Earth.
It took a further 34 years for the chemistry of tellurium to be investigated.
In 1832, in Stockholm, Sweden, Jons Jacob Berzelius made a detailed study of the element and its compounds. He decided that tellurium was a metal, but belonged in the same group as the nonmetals sulfur and selenium due to the similarities of their compounds. (5)
We now class tellurium as a metalloid because, as the confused scientists of the 1700s first noticed, it has properties that sit between those of metals and nonmetals.
Appearance and Characteristics
Tellurium is very toxic and teratogenic (can cause harm to developing embryos). Exposure to as little as 0.01 mg/m2 or less in air leads to “tellurium breath”, which has a garlic-like odor.
Tellurium is a rare, silvery-white, brittle, lustrous metalloid.
It burns in air with a greenish-blue flame and forms white tellurium dioxide (TeO2).
When present in compounds, tellurium exists mostly in the oxidation state IV and VI.
Tellurium is a semiconductor material and is slightly photosensitive.
It forms many compounds corresponding to those of sulfur and selenium, the elements above it in the periodic table. For example, it forms tellurides with other metals and tellurite (TeO32-) and tellurate (TeO42-) compounds.
Tellurium has radioactive isotopes and is the lightest element to exhibit alpha decay.
Uses of Tellurium
Tellurium is alloyed with copper and stainless steel to make these metals more workable.
It is added at very low levels to lead to decreases the corrosive action of sulfuric acid in batteries and to improve the lead’s strength and hardness.
Tellurium is used as a coloring agent in ceramics.
Tellurium is also used in the electronics industry, for example with cadmium and mercury to form photosensitive semiconductors. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is used as a thin film in solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. CdTe panels have an efficiency rating of between 11 and 13 percent compared to amorphous silicon solar panels which have an efficiency of between 7 to 9 percent. (6)
It is used in vulcanizing rubber and in catalysts for petroleum cracking and in blasting caps for explosives.
Abundance and Isotopes
Abundance earth’s crust: 1 part per billion by weight, 0.2 parts per billion by moles
Abundance solar system:
Cost, pure: $24 per 100g
Cost, bulk: $0.44 per 100g
Source: Tellurium is sometimes found free in nature. More commonly, it is found combined with metals, such as in the minerals calaverite (gold telluride, AuTe2) and sylvanite (silver-gold telluride). Commercially, tellurium is obtained as a byproduct of electrolytic copper refining.
Isotopes: Tellurium has 33 isotopes whose half-lives are known, with mass numbers 106 to 138. Naturally occurring tellurium is a mixture of eight isotopes and they are found in the percentages shown: 120Te (0.1%), 122Te (2.6%), 123Te (0.9%), 124Te (4.8%), 125Te (7.1%), 126Te (19.0%), 128Te (31.7%), and 130Te (33.8%).

Hybrid cars have been touted as the savior of the environment and wind farms will stop the belching power plants from destroying our planet. Apart from the usual environmental rhetoric I ran across a rather startling article that claims that the 16 dirtiest cargo ships emit more sulfur per year than all of the cars on the planet. To be exact, the largest ships emit 5,000 tons of sulfur a year or the same as 50 million cars. The sulfur and smoke emissions have been linked to respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer. James Corbett, from the University of Delaware, estimates that these emissions kill 64,000 people per year. In addition, cargo ships emit as much carbon dioxide as the entire fleet of aircraft. I am not protesting the cargo ships of the world, but I find it interesting that environmentalists have placed so much emphasis on automobiles and aircraft, but this is the first time I have seen anything about cargo ships. Many things in the world get undue focus or no focus at all. I just wonder how much lobbying money the major shipping players are siphoning towards global governments.

Robert Frost said “No tears for the writer, no tears for the reader.”
It has been over twenty months since Nelle was born and still, still there moments when I cry because I miss her so much. I miss her because she was my baby, my child, and she isn’t here. She. Isn’t. Here. Even typing those words, I have tears streaming down my face and my throat hurt with the pain that comes from gasping between breaths.
I remember being pregnant with Iris and wanting her so much but feeling like wanting her was at the expense of her sister. I wanted both of them, yet they could not exist together. One night, I sat on the floor of my bathroom and hugged my pregnant shape, cradling Iris and missing Nelle and trying so hard to reconcile wanting them both.
Memories have faded. I used to have nightmares about the details of being in the hospital, but now they are not as clear. I do not remember the nurse who spoke to us when I was admitted to deliver Iris, because I only remember staring out the window, wondering how I could be there a second time. I remember that I was wearing a red shirt.
Giving birth, I remember. I try to forget. That moment is one that I often gloss over when I write, because for many it would likely be uncomfortable. I saw the look on a person’s face recently: realization of something she had never considered, that if a baby dies after a certain point in pregnancy, labor and delivery is the way that the baby leaves the mother’s womb. It had certainly never crossed my mind before it happened to me. I remember asking the doctor “So what happens now?” and being horrified at the response.
I was pregnant for more than 24 hours after finding out my baby had died. Death wasn’t in the room across the hallway, or the bed next to me, but inside of me. My body felt foreign, yet I had never been more aware of my pregnancy and how intertwined I was with carrying my baby.
My only other deliveries had been c-sections and while an epidural could mask pain, I knew that I would be aware of the moment when my baby was born. I would feel her leave my body. A mother can anticipate some of the aspects of childbirth, but nothing could prepare me for the stillbirth of a baby only a few inches long.
Knowing that I was no longer pregnant, and that my daughter was carried away in a silver medical bowl.
Thinking back on this tonight, my heart pounded, my face contorted. I was feeding Autumn, my rainbow baby, and tears fell from my face, dripping onto my shirt. She reached up a tiny hand and grabbed my cheek. And she. I have her, but I miss her sisters.
And because not enough tears had been evoked, by a random shuffling of a playlist, Adele’s song “Hello” began to play. That song always makes me cry. It was released mere weeks after Nelle was born. I thought, to my daughter:
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve tried
To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart
Somehow, her tiny heart had broken, stopped beating and I wanted to tell her that I was sorry.

Does somebody have some interesting references on the
FindGraphCommunties[.., Method -> "Spectral"] functions and their algorithms as implemented by Mathematica 9.
What the exact implementation is in Mathematica, I don't know. You can't know unless you have access to the source code or part of the research team. Assuming, however, that they used the fairly standard technique of spectral modularity maximization I hope these references are useful:

By Deanna Wallace
Originally published in Townhall, October 16, 2017.
One hundred and one is a big number, but 328,348 is even bigger- that’s the number of abortions done by Planned Parenthood in 2016. As Planned Parenthood celebrates its 101st birthday, it’s important to remember that because of Planned Parenthood, there are 328,348 children that will never celebrate their birthdays.
When I bring this up, there’s always someone quick to remind me that “Planned Parenthood is more than abortion, and provides care to millions of women with nowhere else to go.” But is this really true? The answer is a resounding “NO.”
A quick look at the numbers from Planned Parenthood’s 2016 Annual report shows a clear picture of their true priorities, and it’s not “women’s health”:
- Planned Parenthood performed 328,348 abortions, which is up from 2015’s 323,999.
- When combining all pregnancy services (abortions, prenatal care, miscarriage services, and adoption referrals), abortions accounted for 95.8% of services to pregnant women.
- Adoption referrals made up less than 1% of pregnancy services.
- Prenatal services were nearly cut in half, dropping a whopping 46%.
- Abortion patients made up 13.68% of Planned Parenthood’s patient total.
- Cancer screening and prevention services fell 2.5%.
- The number of Breast exams, HPV vaccinations, Colposcopy, and Cryotherapy services all decreased.
- Contraceptive services decreased 4.6%.
- The total number of patients continued to fall, from 2.5 million in 2014-2015, to 2.4 million in 2015-2016.
- The total number of clinics also decreased, with the 2014-2015 report claiming 661 clinics, and the 2015-2016 report claiming, “nearly 650 clinics.”
These numbers are nothing new either, but rather are part of a continuing trend of Planned Parenthood taking in more taxpayer money while providing fewer services to women in need. Since 2006, when Cecile Richards became the leader of Planned Parenthood, clinics, patients, and healthcare services numbers have been dramatically reduced, while abortions, revenues, and government funding have increased:
- There has been a 22.5% decrease in the number of patients served.
- Cancer screening and prevention services have fallen 66%.
- Breast exams have decreased by 63.5%.
- Total services provided by Planned Parenthood have fallen by 6%.
- Abortions have gone up 13%.
- Federal funding for Planned Parenthood has increased by 64.7%.
- Planned Parenthood’s total revenues have increased 33%.
These figures raise an important question: Why should taxpayers continue to fund an abortion business that is providing fewer services, serving fewer patients, and closing clinics, despite increases to their government funding?
After all, it’s no secret that Planned Parenthood clinics are outnumbered by community health centers 20 to one, with over 13,000 clinics nationwide that serve more than 21 million men, women, and children. These full-service medical centers provide routine health services and life-affirming care to millions of American women every year, all without needing to boost their bottom line with profit from abortions.
When you combine the alarming statistics on Planned Parenthood’s declining services with the sheer number of available alternative providers to serve low-income and medically underserved communities, diverting Planned Parenthood’s half a billion dollars in annual government funding to these comprehensive health clinics is clearly a more fiscally responsible use of our taxpayer dollars. The additional funding would allow these health centers to hire more staff, expand services, upgrade equipment, and easily meet the needs of displaced Planned Parenthood patients.
Birthday celebrations are supposed to be about celebrating life and new accomplishments, but instead, Planned Parenthood is throwing a taxpayer-funded celebration of its 101 years of hurting women, killing children, alleged Medicaid fraud, decreasing services, and selling baby body parts. The American people should remind Congress of their promise to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider- and maybe next year we can celebrate the birthdays of 328,348 cute, chubby, 1 year olds instead.

Bro. Bro. For those of us who were suckered into watching that awful show for nine years, Barney was always How I Met Your Mother’s bright spot. Neil Patrick Harris’s character was, like it or not, a seminal figure of sorts, the sitcom representation of who we all were right then, or who we wanted to become. Sure, it sounds hyperbolic and a more than a little horrifying, but I can attest to this: For the cash-strapped, sex-starved college-age guys of the mid-2000s, there was no better-known or more enviable character than Barney. Well, that or the Entourage crew, which, Christ.
Let’s eulogize him here for a second: Barney wasn’t just a fun-loving dude-bro but the supernatural epitome of one, especially the parts that we all, in some way, wanted to be ourselves: irresistible to women, impervious to harm or hangover, unable, even, to take a bad photograph. In the same way that Kevin James and his sitcom ilk are wish-fulfillment for average-looking middle-age guys, with their wiseacre beer buddies and endlessly forgiving, smoking-hot wives, Barney was the same for young, urban males—the partying man-boy turned superhero. Many of us thumbed our noses at his crass, womanizing hijinks; many of us were kidding ourselves.
And while Barney high-fived through his epic life, we bro-ed out along with him. In September of 2004, GQ did a feature on the conspicuous-spending, beer-pounding, Vegas-hopping young male of the day, which we termed the "American Jackass." The word "bro" was used a grand total of once. The term, as it has proliferated since, simply didn’t exist. How I Met Your Mother premiered in 2005, and the next few years saw Don’t tase me bro," the rise of the portmanbro, and countless other infiltrations of the word into the vocabulary of everyday men, even ones with little love for stretch Hummers. No less than the Oord English Dictionary called Stinson out as "the quintessence of a certain iteration of the contemporary bro." By the latter half of the 2000s, broiness was an inescapable part of our culture. We poked fun at the shirtless, tasteless guys we deemed to be "bros," even as we started to use it on each other. Barney, in the midst of that linguistic sea change, made it all okay. After all, bros wore suits now! Bros had good taste in scotch. Bros could have all the external trappings of a classic gentleman, and still lack what we young folk didn’t yet want—maturity, responsibility, or any sense of obligation to anyone else.
But like all good tales of immature young men, it have to end sometime; at some point, I’m told, it just gets sad. And so, like every other part of How I Met Your Mother’s ecrable series finale, Barney’s story fell off the rails. Hard. What seemed like a season-long walk toward real, lasting commitment was vaporized in the space of a divorce scene, all to make way for the cheap return of a romance no one wanted (and which invalidates the point and title of the show). Barney returns to his lying, womanizing schtick, only to accidentally get a girl pregnant at the end of a "Perfect Month" of hookups. His man-whoring is then "redeemed" at the sight of his newborn daughter—except the mother of his child is so immaterial that we only ever know her as "Number 31."
No, Barney Stinson was never a laudable character—and though his secret fears and abandonment issues and fanatical friend-devotion gave him a likable, human tint, he was mostly a pretty horrible person. But in keeping him stuck in that rut, elevated only by a case of accidental paternity, the sitcom shellacked its own finale with all the classy patina of a Maury Povich episode. Ted and the Mother suffering the travails of real life? Fine. Whatever. It’s a welcome dose of cynicism for such a sappy event. Everyone’s favorite character reduced to a throwaway, misogynistic dead-end of a life arc? Not so much. Bro-dom, _HIMYM _tells us, eventually becomes a prison. Guilty pleasures become consequences. Barney lives on, devoid of inner depth, written into a hole from which our juvenile fantasies will never return.

Cloud-Based architecture and Integration : Notes from the front lines
Cloud-Based architecture and Integration - Notes from the front lines
I’ve had the privilege of being on the front lines of the move from on-premise based to cloud-based enterprise application architectures. For the last five years I’ve run Kitepipe, a cloud integration services firm, and participated in a wide range of projects involving the move of IT infrastructure, applications, and business functions to the cloud.
In the following series I’ll share my experiences and observations on this fundamental shift in application architecture. I’ll focus on the integration implications, as that is my practice area. Kitepipe gets involved when the integration implications of moving a business process from an on-prem location to a cloud application become evident. For some this is in the planning/sales process. Sometimes this is during the implementation process. And quite often integration needs only become evident after the move, when the pain/opportunity equation of implementing integration becomes evident.
Two Types of Cloud
Lets first distinguish between two types of migration to the cloud - Applications in the cloud, and infrastructure in the cloud.
From Amazon, you can rent servers in their cloud. These are large physical servers in a server farm operated by Amazon, which are subdivided into virtual servers that can be created at will. These virtual machines (vms) function just like a server on your site. You can get them running windows, or a range of Linux variants, with a wide range of resource specs in terms of RAM, storage, and network bandwidth. Firms other than Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide this service, but AWS is the largest and best known.
Your company rents a set of these from AWS, and moves jobs, databases, and applications from on-site servers in your data center to these AWS servers. Once network connectivity is established, things run just the same as they did on-premise except that you no longer own and operate the hardware. This is infrastructure in the cloud, or IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Its a service because you don’t own it, but you rent it “as a service”.
But, the software applications that run on it are yours, or purchased/licensed by you. That part hasn’t changed. You may still be running your licensed version of SAP, but now the hardware it is running on is owned by Amazon, and rented by you. And the application architecture, and integration architecture, is still the same. Once network connectivity is in place, however you were getting data in and out of those applications has not changed.
In contrast, the rise of cloud applications, or SaaS (Software as a Service) has changed the architecture and integration landscape. In SaaS, you are no longer running “your” application, code, or database, but renting a seat who can use the vendor’s fully managed application to execute a specific business process for your company. The biggest and best known SaaS vendor is of course, Salesforce. They started with an application focused on a very common use case - that of managing the sales process and its associated data. This application had two important innovations:
- Multi-tennancy - all data for all users is in the same set of data base tables
- Sold as a service - the customer rents the use of the application per month per user
These two innovations, working together, completely transformed the global $400B enterprise software industry (Gartner, 2107). I’ve written in detail about the hows and whys of this transformation, here and here. The combination of dramatic cost reduction, dramatic feature increase, and removal of buying and implementation barriers made SaaS applications the overwhelming choice for new implementations, and increasingly for replacement implementations of business application software.
Rise of SaaS - Cloud Applications Dominate
In contrast to IaaS, SaaS has changed the architecture and integration landscape, in several important ways. The first way is obvious - you are running your business process on an application and data structure that you don’t own (you just rent it) and you typically can’t access the data structures directly. Thus the rise of the API (application programming interface), which gives you a programmatic interface (structured calls and returns) to your data base. This is different from on-premise applications, where you typically had access to the data structures, and made data base queries to get bulk data that you moved to another data base.
The other impact of SaaS is more subtle - the rise of “Best of Breed” applications, and the fragmenting of the application software space into sub and sub-sub domains. For a number of reasons, including ease of penetrating the market, SaaS applications have focused on a specific business function for a specific market segment. This has lead to an explosion of SaaS applications on the market. No one knows how many, but informed estimates put the number at well over 10,000. No longer do you buy an HR application, you license use of a recruiting and on boarding application for tech companies (such as Jobvite - a bit of googling found a SaaS solution in this randomly chosen segment).
this explosion means that an enterprise no longer has a dozen applications on-premise, but now has fifty applications in the cloud - each one the best of breed for a specific business process (on-boarding, lease accounting, community management, etc). The compelling economics of best-of-breed SaaS applications means that a department can buy their own solution, without central IT support. In fact, some of our fast growing tech customers have no central IT function in the traditional sense, but each functional group sources their own applications.
This proliferation of cloud applications blows away traditional notions of IT architecture and master data management. The cows are out of the barn, IT can just chase them around the pasture. How do you define and manage an overall information architecture when your departments and business units acquire and set up their own applications?
As the application landscape fragments and moves to the cloud, so the business process data created by customers using these applications moves to the cloud as well. This is everything from a job applicant’s address to the pricing of a widget you just sold. This data is now all over the place, in 50 different cloud data bases that you can only access through an API, or programming interface. But, the HR Benefits application needs the addresses from the recruiting application. And the billing application needs the pricing from the sales application. How is all this valuable business data, spread across fifty application platforms, going to move from one to another to enable seamless business processes?
Well, you need integration tools. You need structured means of moving business process data from one cloud application to another.
Enter IPaaS - Integration for Application Fragmentation
Enter IPaaS, or Integration Platform as a Service. About 10 years ago, a very smart guy from Philadelphia, Rick Nucci, saw that all of the above would come to pass, and that there would be a need for integration tools to connect this coming blizzard of cloud applications. So he bet the farm on converting his on-premise EDI software company, Boomi, to the first cloud-focused integration platform, or a segment that would become IPaaS. The Boomi integration was the first, and remains the best set of integration tools for the new “cloud-fragmented” application architecture. Boomi has the important features needed to be a complete solution to the new cloud application architecture, including:
- Huge library of Connectors that talk to the Application APIs
- High performance ATOM runtime engine on premise, or use the Boomi ATOM in the cloud
- Codeless, hyper-productive builder tools that allow you to build and change integrations quickly
- Full SDLC support including build, deploy and monitoring tools
- Expanded product line includes API management, MDM, Queues and more
We will talk more about how this most mature Boomi cloud application tool set fits the needs of the cloud integration specialist.
So, there is a need for enterprises to integrate this new cloud-fragmented application space. But what do these integration architectures look like? In the past there have been a series of integration approaches that moved in and out of favor - including enterprise data models, enterprise data warehouse, SOA, and enterprise service bus. What is the emerging integration architecture in the cloud-fragmented application space? And who would be knowledgable about this emerging IT practice area?
Kitepipe does Integration in the Cloud
Enter Kitepipe, a Cloud Integration Services firm, specializing in building integration processes in the emerging cloud-fragmented application space. Kitepipe’s founder, Larry Cone (your humble author) is another smart Philly guy. I was VP Engineering at an early cloud application company near Philadelphia. So early that we didn’t call it Cloud, or even SaaS, but an ASP, Application Service Provider. We needed an integration tool to connect to our newly-installed Netsuite instance, and I selected Boomi as our integration tool. I knew about Boomi and Rick through the local IT ecosystem, and they were a natural choice. I took the training, and did some hands-on building with the Boomi tools, and I really liked the product.
My insight was a bit later. I too saw the coming fragmentation of the application space into the cloud, and wrote about it here and here. I too saw the coming need for integration between these cloud based applications. I too saw that Boomi was a great toolset, purpose-built for this role. I started a cloud integration services company, Kitepipe, to address this coming market. Kitepipe is today a leader in implementing and managing Boomi integration suites for companies large and small.
One Additional Insight
And I had one additional insight, after working at integration for a while, which is this: That the value to the business comes from thinking about integration at the business process level, rather than the data level. So, don’t think about moving closed-won opportunities from Salesforce to Netsuite - think about how the integration process can complete the sales-fulfillment-billing cycle across multiple applications. Understand the operational challenges, and build an integration process that solves those challenges.
But what does the integration architecture look like? At last, we are getting to the core of this series of posts. Lets take that sales process as an example, deconstruct it, and look at the architecture that results from implementing using best practices.
Often, the best way to proceed is to understand the set of problems to be solved. I call this "selling to pain” - its the approach I use in the sales process to convey the value of the proposed integration project. so, here are some typical pain points in the sales to accounting integration:
- different field and data structures
- different code values for the same data
- wrong customer
- wrong/bad pricing
- special or promotional pricing
- wrong territory or geography
- wrong currency
- related deal components - not SOX compliant
- all happens at the end of the quarter
- not well forecasted
- new products/offerings not yet in accounting
The number one role of the integration is to transform fields and codes from sales format to accounting format, but that is just the start. Most of the above issues can be characterized as “bad data” - data from Sales that does not fit (yet) into Accounting. An effective integration approach needs to start with the understanding that most integration problems are data problems. Based on this, we at Kitepipe have developed a template for building highly functional integrations.
Functions of a Rich Integration Process
So the number one role of the integration access is access - the process needs to be able to selectively query the data in the right state; the next role is Transform - map source data to target data profiles; The number three role is Enrich - look up or add master data to the transaction, as needed; the next role is Validation - is all the date good? the fifth role is alerting - tell someone who can fix the data. The sixth role is to Post the transaction to the target application, and detect any errors; The seventh role is to Synchronize - make sure that there is a key pair between the application platforms that can be used to match the transactions for future updates. The next role is Recovery - the integration process should be recoverable in case of failure, ideally by just running it again. The last role is Status - make sure users on either side know what happened, and what the status of the transaction(s) are.
- Access - select the data you want
- Transformation - map source to target
- Enrich - include data from other sources to enrich the transaction
- Validation - insure that the data is valid
- Alerts - notify those who can fix the bad data
- Post - post the new or updated transaction to the target system(s), and detect any errors
- Synchronization - post keys to target, and back to the source to confirm traceability
- Recovery - structure the process for recovery, ideally by rerunning, and without intervention
- Status - post status to logs, people, source and target platforms
This set of features is built in to our process templates at Kitepipe, and speeds the integration development process. Because Boomi is a powerful purpose-built platform for building integrations, all of the above functionality can be quickly built, tested and deployed, without writing code.
These functions of the integration are architecture at the process level - a Boomi process can (and should) accomplish all of these functions for a given set of transactions. There are additional choices to make which impact how the processes executed - batch vs. real time, for instance - but in Boomi the integration structure and logic is the same, the only difference is how the process is invoked. You can select a batch of records from the sales system and process them, or deploy a “listener” or web service - that accepts calls from a trigger in the Sales system to process sales records on an event basis. But in Boomi the process structure is the same.
This represents a ‘Point to Point” integration solution - from the sales application to the accounting application. Many of the integrations we build at Kitepipe - and we build a lot of integrations - are of this type. - but surely this is not an enterprise integration architecture? Well, yes it is - a point to point integration solves a business process problem quickly and effectively.
But what about my complex enterprise where we have possibly fifty application endpoints, and and the possible point to point integrations is in the hundreds - in fact, Siri tells me that there are 1,250 unique pairs of integration points of 50 applications - twice that if direction is counted separately. This rapidly becomes unmanageable, and a different approach is needed. Or is it…
Having looked at long lists of application platforms in a single enterprise, I can confirm that the vast majority of application pairs, taken randomly, don’t make sense, and would not be implemented. So, you don’t need to manage 1200 integrations. Our most complex customers have implemented 30 or 40 integrations, which is manageable by a small, well-trained integration team. But not all of those are point to point - we use some integration hub techniques to manage complexity in complex enterprises.
Evolution of Cloud Integration Architecture
Probably the best way to think of integration architecture is based on evolution - what do you do first, and next, and what might the final state look like? This is a good approach to take, because it allows quick wins on the way to a more sustainable architecture.
Ah for the (bad) old days, when a corporate IT shop could embark on 24 or 36 month or 5 year re-architecture or master data implementation projects, which got repeatedly delayed, then quietly cancelled. No one has that kind of time or money anymore. We at Kitepipe need to sing for our supper every night, so we better be putting something into production that improves the client's business every six to eight weeks.
So, how do you implement a complex cloud-fragmented application integration architecture? As the old riddle asks, how do you eat the Elephant? One spoonful at a time.
Here is our successful recipe for building a comprehensive cloud integration architecture for the enterprise.
Recipe for Cloud Integration Success:
Phase one: Build Rich point to point transaction integrations for the revenue stream
The revenue stream is where you can have the most impact on most businesses. Speed it up just a little bit, and you pay for the whole party, and make important people happy (like the CFO). Plus the metrics are in place - people will notice if you cut processing time from sale to fulfillment, or reduce the errors between sale and revenue recognition.
This looks different for different businesses - sometimes its customer acquisition, sometimes order processing or rev rec, sometimes fulfillment, sometimes exception handling (returns, back orders, RMAs, etc). But applying integration tools to the pain points in the revenue cycle is always going to make your client a hero!
As a step one A, build additional point to point integrations that support other critical business functions. In some of our high growth customers these are HR or benefits integrations
Phase Two: Build master data hubs for key Master Data objects
As applications proliferate in the cloud, many or most of them need some common master data. Most larger enterprises have the most trouble with customer data. Multiple product lines, sales teams, and divisions have different customer sets, and these are never reconciled. You can often make a revenue case around cross-selling, if only there were a clean, common customer master. This is often a regulatory requirement, or at least a source of embarrassment. One of our projects was funded on the basis that no-one in the organization could agree on how many customers they had. So a customer master data hub is a pain/opportunity point for many organizations.
However, it is often a complicated problem to solve, with many stake holders (Sales, Accounting, CRM). For many organizations, we find that and Employee or Worker Master Data Hub is the better target. There are fewer stakeholders (the HR or HRM team and IT teams, mostly), quicker wins (simpler problems that have just not been addressed), and visible results (everyone in the organization can be positively impacted).
So we often recommend an employee or worker master data hub be the next phase. The benefits can include:
- recruiting and on boarding support for the fast growing organization
- provisioning of users across multiple/many applications, cloud or on prem
- support for regulatory / SOX compliance reporting on information access
Its a problem every company has at a greater or lesser level, has a regulatory driver, and supports a typically underserved team, the HR team. Scope is manageable using a Kitepipe templated Boomi MDM solution, and the results are visible to the whole organization.
Based on that success, you may want to take on the typically more difficult Customer master data hub.
Boomi Master Data Hub is Different
As an aside, a Boomi MDM solution is much different that the prior generation on prem complex Master Data Management approaches. It is light weight, and functions solely in support of integration. That means that the Boomi MDM repository is not a central place to manage and update master data. It is a way of centralizing the movement of master data across the application space using a master data hub, that keeps an up to date copy of the data that must be shared between applications.
Data is still managed and updated in a source application (like Workday, for worker data), but the data that must be shared is passed thru a MDM hub, that manages priority, conflicts, and distribution of data to all interested applications. Its a way of simplifying the many point to points into a hub and spoke architecture.
Phase Three: Build Transactional Data Hubs
A transactional data hub is like a master data hub, in that a point-to-point map is simplified into a hub and spoke map. An example is a Revenue data hub, where many systems might contribute transactions with revenue impact to a set of finance or fulfillment applications. These hubs are typically not persistent data stores, unlike the master data hubs described above. Instead, they are ways of simplifying a complex set of point to point integrations. A transactional data hub might have these features;
- Access transactions, often from one or more queues
- Map to a standard, or canonical transaction format
- Enrich the transaction with master data, from applications or master data hubs
- Validate the transaction vs business rules
- Log the transaction status and validation results
- Store the transaction in an outbound pub-sub queue to be read by interested applications
For our clients with very complex, global application landscapes, a Transactional Data Hub can be the most effective architecture. This architecture is a conceptual approach, and is built using the Boomi toolset, Atmosphere processes, MDH, queues, and API management web services.
But, our recommendation is always to take it in phases. Starting with a transactional data hub architecture increases the time, resources, and risk dramatically. We believe that, like agile approaches across the IT landscape, the best way to implement is to build a rich, high function, point to point integration that addresses pressing business problems, usually somewhere in the revenue stream.
A skilled team, such as a Kitepipe integration team using Boomi, can go from project kickoff to in production in a few weeks. The limiting schedule factor is usually client data quality and UAT issues - the development of even a complex point to point integration can be done in a week.
Do you need to know more about Cloud Integration Architectures?
If your application architecture is increasingly fragmented, and you believe that your organization can gain significant benefits from implementing a light-weight but effectlve integration architecture, we should talk. Our customers have benefitted from an on-site integration architecture workshop, which includes:
- Review of Boomi platform and toolset
- Examples of mature Kitepipe integration customers
- Tools to sell integration internally
- Review of your application landscape
- Evolution model to implement integration in your environment
- Deep dive into an integration scenario
The limiting schedule factor is usually client data quality and UAT issues - the development of even a complex point to point integration can be done in a week. This is one of the many reasons why the Boomi process is so successful. It can be completed in a short period of time.

Infidelity DNA Test
Testing: One item, e.g. underwear
Timeframe: within 10 working days of receipt of DNA samples at our UK office
Do you suspect infidelity? Do you want to end those gnawing suspicions and find out whether your partner is really cheating on you? International Biosciences offers infidelity DNA testing – a scientific test that can help you draw conclusions about your partner’s fidelity.
An infidelity test begins with a simple DNA sample – our clients send us an item which they believe to contain traces of DNA. From this item we can extract the DNA and provide our clients with certain telling results.
What Information Can Your Infidelity Test Give Me?
International Biosciences offers two different infidelity testing options.
Our first option is a DNA test that will confirm the gender of the sample in a type of test we call a multiple gender profile test. Our laboratory analysis will tell you whether the DNA sample you sent to our lab contains a male DNA profile or female DNA profile – and this is not all! Our advanced DNA testing technology even make it possible to establish whether there is a mixed profile – in other words, if more than 1 person’s DNA is present in the sample we will confirm this. The cost for testing 1 DNA sample is £299.
Our second DNA testing option is a comparison DNA test. What we need in this case is another DNA sample, collected by means of a mouth swab*, which we can compare against the DNA profile or profiles obtained in the multiple gender profile test. With this comparison test, International Biosciences can tell you whether the two samples belong to the same person or to different people. This test comes at only an additional cost of £70.
*International Biosciences will provide you with sample collection kit which contains the swabs, instructions, consent forms and pre-addressed envelope to return your DNA sample.
Types of Samples We Can Test
For infidelity testing, we can test a vast range of samples including semen stains, blood stains, soiled undergarments, cigarette ends and toothbrushes. Our customer service team are at your full disposal to guide you and provide a full evaluation of the sample you plan to use. We will tell you how to collect, package and send your samples.
Here are some basic guidelines on handling samples for your infidelity DNA test that will help maximise the chances of successful extraction of DNA:
- Always avoid touching the DNA sample with your fingers. If this is not possible, use your finger tips and keep contact with the sample to a minimum. Where possible use tweezers.
- Allow any sample to air dry
- Store samples in a paper envelope and avoid keeping samples for too long. The sooner they are tested, the higher the chances of successful DNA extraction.
It is important to understand that some samples are better than others and we must take into consideration factors like the age of sample and whether it has been in any way contaminated or degraded.
Our laboratory’s cutting-edge biochemical technology makes it possible for International Biosciences to extract your DNA from even the most challenging samples. Why not view our full list of forensic DNA testing services to understand more about the different types of samples that can be used?
Semen Detection Test
A semen detection test is quick and simply test that will enable you to confirm the presence of semen. If you do not require a full DNA test but just want to know if a stain contains semen or not, check out our semen detection test.
DNA Testing and the Human Tissue Act
Note: Due to the Human Tissue Act, International Biosciences is unable to test samples belonging to any test participants without their informed consent. Any test participant submitting a DNA sample must sign our consent form authorising us to test their sample. Children under the legal age of consent can have their legal guardian or parent/s sign on their behalf.
The Human Tissue Act also requires that the person from which the DNA sample has been collected be made fully aware of what their DNA sample will be used for. The absence of any form of refusal, comment or assent does not signify consent. Failure to comply with the Human Tissue Act is a criminal offence.

Notes from Windward: #63
Gardening Update - Mid-March
January in the wintry woods is always a challenge, as once the fun of the Christmas season is behind, the long winter stretches out ahead. One way to cope with the mid-winter doldrums is to cast the mind forward to spring, to get out the seed and garden catalogs and make plans.
The hardest part involves setting a reasonable budget, and then sticking to it. It' so easy to order way more plants than one is going to actually be able to get into the ground, and once there, nurse through that crucial first season.
It's not the money budget one has to watch so much as the time and attention budget. Because of our location, we have wet winters and very dry summers, and while perennials will thrive here, they do need to be planted correctly and receive supplemental water if they're going to make it through the first dry season.
Our soil has a substantial clay content, and if one just digs a moderate hole, inserts a bare root tree, and then just fills the hole back it, that tree's not going to make it. The problem is often called "the clay pot&quto; effect as the clay in the surrounding soil prevents the fine root hairs from being able to grow out away from the tree to the degree needed in order to sufficiently increase the water up-take zone.
In order to counter that, we need to dig a planting hole at least some three feet in diameter, and then refill it with a mixture of dirt and compost such that the transplant will have an easier time getting its root system established. Like so many things at Windward, the key work goes into the underground systems that aren't visible to the casual observer, but have to be there in order for the plan to succeed.
The final step is to build up a ring of clayish soil around the outer edge of the pit so that water will be caught and allowed to soak in rather than just run off downhill.
Equipped with it's own water catchment, the transplant will be able to make good use of weekly watering through the dry season. Since we can easily go three months without rain in the late summer, there's no point in purchasing stuff unless there's going to be time and energy enough to follow through.
the first leaves of spring
Last year, we planted a patch of bush cherries and raspberries, and thanks to Tara's steadfast attention through the long dry months, we're looking forward to our first production from that planting later this spring. The cherries are still dormant, as of mid-March, but the raspberries are starting to leaf out.
We also planted some apricot and plum trees, but they were savaged by a very late frost, and we lost at least half of what we planted. We're holding our breath this spring to see what made it through the winter. Once they make it through their first winter and first dry season, there's a good chance that they're going to thrive.
This year, we've decided to plant pecan trees and blueberries in the upper garden (the area we fancifully call "North Umbria" since it's north of where our original property line was). We're intending to plant the pecans along the new fence line where they won't shade out anything else, and then to establish this first test plot of blueberries just to the south of the trees.
At this point in our development, we focus our organizational gardening efforts on short term and long term plantings; i.e. salads for the kitchen, and fruits and nuts for the pantry. In time we'll do more in the middle, i.e. potatoes, tomatoes and such, but since those items can be readily gleaned locally by the pickup load, we'll continue for now to focus on the items which we would otherwise have to buy.
are the most beautiful

I stood back and watched him lazily amble towards the centre of the large sandbox with his toys in tow. He briefly tripped on a large, stray pebble and immediately my “daddy” senses started to tingle. If I was Spiderman, I’d have shot out some of the miraculous web-like structure from my wrists and supported him. But alas, I’m a mere mortal and a slight gasp escaped my parted lips as I watched him stumble onto the playground pavement—bucket and all.
It took every ounce of mental prowess that I could muster to stop myself from running towards him. As any parent would be, I too was torn; after all, he was my son. And I was a duty-bound father who had sworn to protect him at any cost. But I didn’t move. Part of it was instinct and the curiosity to see how far he would go. Another part of it was the fact that I wanted to prove my wife wrong. You see, she always believed that I was a helicopter parent and that unless I let our son do certain things on his own, he would never learn. And while I vehemently voiced my displeasure at being boxed with such a tag, I knew it was true to some extent.
But little did I know, that in my endeavour to show her that I could let go, my toddler would end up teaching me some important life lessons as he went about his playground adventures. Over the past two years, every time that I’ve accompanied my son to the playground, I’ve had the opportunity to see some of life’s greatest lessons being inadvertently demonstrated by these little ones.
Today, I’d like to share a few of them with you.
1. Friendships are simple, uncomplicated and come in all shapes and sizes
My son was all of 18 months when the above incident happened. Up until that point, he’d been to the playground a few times, but we were his only friends. This would have been the first time that we had let him venture into the sandbox without us for company. I was petrified. Most of the kids were elder and larger than him, and seemed to be oblivious to his presence. But he surprised me. He nonchalantly strode into the sandbox and, within seconds, had started a conversation [in toddler speak] with another toddler of the same age. All it took was a smile.
As adults, we often get tongue tied and are unsure of how to take the first step. Why not just break the ice with a smile and a hello, like he did? Simple, isn’t it?
2. Failure is not defeat
Have you ever seen a kid give up? If I’m honest, I have lost count of the number of times my son has been unsuccessful in climbing the jungle gym or pulling himself up the monkey bar on the playground. In fact, I’ve often felt my heart beat like a set of percussion drums when watching him jump from one bar to another and land face first on the sand. But he dusts himself up and tries again. And again. And yet again. With children, no matter how many attempts it takes or how many times they fail, defeat is never an option. With us adults, all it takes it one failure to make us feel low.
As adults, we often get tongue tied and are unsure of how to take the first step
3. Fight, forgive, forget. Repeat
Ever think that arguments and fights are adult-only territories? In fact, I see kids fight a lot more with each other than adults probably would. But there’s a big difference. As adults, we tend to take a more “cold war” like approach to it. Kids on the other hand are brutally honest and tend to talk it out a lot more easily than we adults seem to do. I’ve found even my three year old embroiled in a “war of tantrums” with similar aged kids. But minutes later, once all the crying is done, they are back to being friends. The ease with which they forgive, forget and move on is nothing short of a miracle, and we adults could definitely take a leaf out of their book.
4. Dirt is good. Literally
I often spot my son and his merry band of other three-foot-tall toddlers, fervently digging in the strangest of places—from the sandbox to the bushes that surround the playground. While I’m not entirely sure what they’re searching for, they seem to enjoy getting their hands dirty. And often it leads to the most unexpected discoveries. The other day they found a limited edition Hot Wheels car; one that had not been manufactured for almost half a decade. Needless to say, they were very excited and there was some pushing and shoving, with each wanting to keep it. [But hey, that’s where point three comes handy.]
Of course, the lesson for us adults isn’t to literally go dig in the mud; the essence is not to be hesitant to get our hands dirty and to try something new. We are often so set in our ways and hate to move out of our comfort zones that we rarely risk trying something new. Who knows, you might find an alternate career, much like I did.
With children, no matter how many attempts it takes or how many times they fail, defeat is never an option
5. Of sharing, patience and turns
I’ll admit it. I’m a rather selfish person at times. In fact, there are even times when I refuse to share food with my wife. But, if you ever spend a few minutes observing some of these toddelrs at the playground, they can put you to shame. Yes, they have their moments of “This is mine!”, but largely they share their toys and play. All you need to do is ask nicely. Patience is another virtue that they all seem to pick up, while waiting for their turns to use the swings or climb up the ladder to the slides. Somehow, as adults, we seem to value these traits a lot less.
6. Anything can be useful; if you can imagine it to be
As an adult, you pick up that broken branch in your path and toss it away as waste. Kids pick it up and see possibilities. And an infinite number of them, at that.
A mound of dirt can be a castle and dew drops on the leaves can be jewels; the swings can be rockets that propel them to the skies while the broken branches of those trees could be swords.
What these toddlers, with their almost limitless creativity and imagination, teach us is that from time to time we must look outside the confines of the boundaries that we have boxed ourselves into. They teach us that there’s beauty in everything; you just need to clear your mind to see it.
But perhaps the most important life lesson that we could all learn from kids at the playground is that sometimes we just need to take things a little slow. In our bid to survive, save and secure a future for ourselves and our kids, we often forget to live in the moment and appreciate the beauty of those little things.
And often, it is perfectly okay to fall flat on your face and ask for help when you get stuck.
But most of all, we need to realise that all of these little lessons will come handy when we’re tackling that large playground called life.

Root Canal Treatment in Forest Park, IL - Important Things To Know About Root Canals
In the more severe stages of tooth decay, the infection in your tooth can progress beyond the main structure of your tooth, known as dentin. When it does, it can reach the hollow part of your tooth, known as the pulp, along with the nerves and tissues inside of it. These tissues travel from the pulp through the root of the tooth, and root canal treatment focuses on ensuring these structures stay healthy enough to support your tooth. Here are some important facts about root canals.
At Platinum Dental Care, we are here to help give you the best treatment possible and often this means keeping your own tooth. Call us at (708) 771-0330 to schedule an appointment. You can also visit our website for the best root canal treatment in Forest Park, IL.

Sei, a young man, has always hated having relationships with people. Even when he moved to another city, this event has prevented him from accepting the friendship of others. However Kei, his new classmate does not like people to stay isolated. Although there is no hard evidence that he is the “Demon of Burnaby” – an urban legend responsible for the massacre of a group of thugs, his physical appearance is too close to him. How many people have grey hairs and green eyes coming from the city of Burnaby?
Check out pepper-keychain who drew the illustration for the poster.

Dracut Food Pantry is Filling Hearts with Hope
Sep 06, 2017 06:00AM
● By Juli Couture
Fall has arrived. Though the cool nights fill most of us with warm thoughts of pumpkin-spiced everything, hot cider and crockpot masterpieces, for others in our community, it brings a fear of not being able to fill their child's lunch box each day. Thankfully, there is a group of selfless volunteers who have come together in a continued effort to make certain that our friends and neighbors have hearts full of hope and cupboards full of food.
The Dracut Food Pantry
was established in 2006 by members of St. Francis Parish, St. Marguerite
D’Youville Parish and Christ Church United. A 10-person Board of Directors was then formed with volunteers from the churches as well as the within the town, and in
October of 2007, the Pantry opened their Lakeview Avenue doors and set out to immediately
to serve the community. Though the need at first started small, today they
serve over 100 local families, and it seems the number continues to grow.
Hunger is a very real crisis going on near and far. If you’d like to make a difference in our community, the Dracut Food Pantry offers many ways you can help. First and foremost, you can stay informed of events, drives and critical need items by liking them on Facebook and visiting their webpage and signing up for their newsletter. There is also a need for additional volunteers to work at the pantry. From assisting members while they shop to stocking shelves, there are plenty of ways volunteers can lend a hand at the Pantry to keep it running smoothly. You can also simply make a donation. Monetary donations are more than welcome and can be mailed directly to the Dracut Food Pantry at 1934 Lakeview Ave., # 11. Of course, non-perishable food donations are also always needed and can be dropped off inside the Dracut Fire Station on Pleasant Street, the Parker Memorial Library on Arlington Street and the Dracut Water Supply District offices on Hopkins Street. You can also organize a food drive through your place of business, church or in your own neighborhood. The Pantry suggests calling or emailing them when you are organizing your drive so they can assist by make arrangements for pick up or drop off of the goods.
Though the committee and the volunteers work tirelessly to bring relief to those in need, they give the credit of their success to local businesses, organizations, schools, volunteer-led food drives and the citizens of Dracut. Thanks to these wonderful people, the Pantry is celebrating their 10th year of service! To celebrate and offer their thanks to those who have kept their mission going, the Board of Directors will be holding an open house at the Pantry on Tuesday, September 26th from 5-7. This is a great opportunity to come and thank these incredible men and women for all they have done for our neighbors as well as make a donation in person.
Please consider doing what you can to help this wonderful organization in their goal to make sure there are no empty cupboards or lunchboxes in our community. Together we can end the hunger occurring in our own backyards.

Wakefield Town Hall
Wakefield Old Home Day - 1922
The Garvin Building
In 1749 the land that is now known as Wakefield was granted to a group of residents from Dover and Portsmouth. According to the terms of the grant, 40 families had to be settled within five years of the English-French and Indian War and seven years later a meeting house was to be provided and preaching maintained. In 1766 the first settlers came and in 1771 the frame of the first meetinghouse was raised on a six-acre parcel near the outlet of Lovell's Pond. There is a marker in what is now Lovell Lake Cemetery denoting this site. In this building, plans for the Revolutionary War were formulated, and voting for the democracy and for George Washington occurred. In 1782 the first pastor, Asa Piper, was called and ordained here.
Growth progressed to the north in the area known as Wakefield Corner, which is now Wakefield's Historic District, as six stagecoach lines merged here. A new meeting house, a congregational church, a library, several inns and shops were located here as well as colonial homes along a street lined with stately elms and picket fences. Wakefield Corner flourished until the coming of the railroad in 1871 to the village now known as Sanbornville.
In addition to the railroad, the many lakes and streams in Wakefield played a large part in its economic growth. There were several dams and nearly twenty mill sites including gristmills, fulling mills and carding mills along these waterways. These caused the population centers to expand in seven separate villages; East Wakefield, South Wakefield, North Wakefield, Burleyville, Wakefield Corner, Union and Sanbornville. As the village of Sanbornville was now the primary business center in Wakefield, a new Town Hall was constructed here in 1895. Two ice companies harvested and shipped ice from Lovell Lake with 16 to 20 train carloads heading to Boston and beyond every day. In the early 1900's railroading was at its peak with 25 trains in and out of Sanbornville daily. In 1911, a fire burned much of the rail yard buildings and the operations center moved to Dover. With the coming of electrification, the need for ice diminished. Later, the popularity of the automobile further reduced the need for rail travel. Finally, in 1969, the snow train, a passenger train, made its final run.
The primary industry in Wakefield through the second half of the 20th century was the development of our eleven lakes. The construction of summer homes and the services needed provided incomes for many of Wakefield's residents. This aided in the retention of the rural character for which Wakefield is known.
We welcome you to visit and bring the kids for a fun day!
These visitors were enjoying their visit to Heritage Park, and allowed to help run B&M locomotive #27 into the Sanbornville roundhouse using the turntable. This unique journey included a rare passage over the causeway through the Milton / Union pond with a newly established beaver lodge with beavers hard at work. The overall view of the B&M Roundhouse & Maintenance buildings include the newly modeled carpenter shop which is where the devastating fire started in 1911 when the shop crew threw some trash in the furnace just before quitting time at 4 PM.
We are open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 noon until 4 PM, July through September 24th.

Turned left at Dim Doi just NW of Mae Suai (GT Golden triangle Map). Road to Saeng Chareon and then concrete and hard packed dirt to Doi Chiang. Drank some expensive civet coffee(tasted better Nescafe) The camped at Wawee which serves free Doi Chiang Coffee (very nice people) Spent the evening chating with Thai soldiers as they sought refuge from the cold Dropped off the mountain to the west via Huai Saan and then down to Huai Sam. Took in the famous ford crossing and drank tea and the tasting centre. The is a striaght forward drive but be careful with the descent which can be misty in the dry season and I reckon pretty slippy in the wet (judging from the ruts). Plenty of other posts on this site for this region which you could use to develop this drive.

Driver: Sam Hornish Jr.
The No. 12 Alliance Truck Parts Ford Mustang
Primary Chassis: Last Raced:
Backup Chassis: Last Raced:
• SECOND TO ONE: After being involved in one of the big ones at Talladega Hornish fell to second in the series standings. This is the first-time this season that he's not been atop the of Nationwide Series standings.
• ASYMMETRIC FANCY: While he claims no favorite, Hornish does like tracks which are different from one end to the other. Darlington combines two elements that he enjoys - four distinctly unique corners and an intermediate track classification.
• QUARTERLY REPORT: Hornish is enjoying the best start of a season in his NASCAR career. Having already earned a victory, led 254 laps, scored four top-five and six top-10 finishes.
• SOUTHERN TRADITION: Crew chief Greg Erwin recalls coming to Darlington with his family as a small child. Having attended Clemson University, he considers Darlington a home track and says that winning at The Lady in Black would be a dream come true.
SAM HORNISH JR., NO. 12 ALLIANCE TRUCK PARTS FORD
WHAT CHALLENGES DOES DARLINGTON PRESENT?
"Darlington is the most mentally and physically challenging track on the schedule. I look forward to it for that reason. It's also has one of the richest histories of all the tracks we visit. This makes it a must win race in my opinion. The Alliance Truck Parts Mustang we are racing this weekend is the same chassis we ran at Las Vegas, and we feel good about our chances."
GREG ERWIN, CREW CHIEF NO. 12 ALLIANCE TRUCK PARTS FORD
WHY IS DARLINGTON SPECIAL TO YOU?
"Darlington is my favorite place that we race. Winning at this track would mean more to me than it would anywhere else. I've been close to getting the win before and that makes me want it just that much more. Darlington is a truly unique oval, and it's tremendously challenging. We always want the Alliance Truck Parts Ford to win, but this place is noteworthy which adds to the desire."
BRIAN CAMPE, ENGINEER NO.12 ALLIANCE TRUCK PARTS FORD MUSTANG
WHAT IS IT ABOUT DARLINGTON?
"Darlington has an incredible history, and it's one of those tracks that everyone wants to say that they've won. We're excited to go back as we feel as though it is one of our better venues. Sam does well at this type of track, and our intermediate program has been strong. This is the perfect place to put the Alliance Truck Parts Ford into victory lane."
Driver: Joey Logano
The No. 22 Penske Truck Rental Ford Mustang
Primary Chassis:PRS-244 Last Raced:Las Vegas 2013
Backup Chassis:PRS-246 Last Raced:New Chassis
• A SUCCESSFUL RETURN: Joey Logano returned to the NASCAR Nationwide Series last weekend in dramatic fashion. While making his first start of the season behind the wheel of the No. 22 Ford Mustang, Logano nearly pulled off the win in a photo-finish, coming in second by a matter of inches. Logano and the No. 22 team dominated the race during the afternoon and evening, leading the most laps in the event.
• AGAIN A DEFENDING WINNER: On the strength of nine wins over the course of the NASCAR Nationwide Series last season, Logano comes into the Darlington race once again as the defending race winner. Logano led just four laps, but was able to take advantage of the race on a late restart to grab the victory.
• CHAMPIONSHIP OWNER'S POINTS: With his second place finish, Logano was able to vault the No. 22 Penske Ford team up two positions in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Owner's point standings. The No. 22 will be shared by Logano, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney this season.
• LOTS OF TRACKS: Darlington is one of 13 different tracks that Logano has won on during the course of his 18-win NASCAR Nationwide Series career. Logano has also taken home the checkers at Daytona, Talladega, Bristol, Kansas, California, Dover, Charlotte, Chicagoland, Kentucky, Michigan, Nashville and Phoenix.
JOEY LOGANO, NO. 22 PENSKE TRUCK RENTAL FORD
Back to previous page.
HOW WAS YOUR FIRST RACE WITH THE 22 TEAM LAST WEEKEND?
"I feel like the weekend couldn't have gone any better. The only thing better would have been if we could have gotten the victory. We had a fast enough car to win, I just made a small mistake on the last lap that cost us. We were the best car out there all day long. I feel like I let the guys down. But they are behind me, and I think our first run together went about as well as could be expected for sure."
HOW DIFFERENT WILL THIS WEEKEND FROM LAST WEEKEND?
"There is absolutely nothing similar about Talladega and Darlington over than the fact that you turn left on both of them. This weekend will be a true test of our team and how well me and Jeremy Bullins (crew chief) can work together. You need a decent handling car at Darlington to have a shot at the win. The guys that get a car that can handle will be the ones racing for the win. So I'm pretty pumped to go there and see what we can do. It's one of my favorite tracks. I'd love to make it two in a row this year."

In my experience, there’s a pretty common consensus amongst music fans about which guitar duos seem to make the synapses tingle. From classic rock for example, you have AC/DC’s Young brothers, The Rolling Stones with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, or even Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford and Joe Perry. For those of a more – ahem – alternative bent, the open tuned textural droning of Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moor and Lee Ranaldo might first spring to mind, or perhaps Television’s Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. Metal, of course, comes into this as well, with Metallica’s James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, or Megadeth’s Marty Friedman and Dave Mustaine. Each one of these is known, and rightly so, for contributing something unique, interesting and far more powerful than the sum of its parts.
However, while I’m not disagreeing with any of the above, I think it’s high time punk rock got a word in edgeways. It’s a genre that sometimes is a little unfairly dismissed as being more about the message than the music but, upon closer examination, there’s levels of startling musical intellect at play that is at the very least the equal in power and relevance to all of the above. It’s particularly interesting to note given the new crop of guitar bands that are paying tribute, unwittingly or not, to every one of the pairings I’m about to mention. But hey, that can only be a good thing in my book. Let’s get started.
1. Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto (Fugazi)
In the sake of brevity, I’ll cite one example of this on their 1990 LP Repeater, where the duo alternate between employing lacerating feedback and – I kid you not – pop-inflected choruses. And it somehow works. Have a listen below.
2. J. Robbins and Bill Barbot (Jawbox)
Proving once again that the ‘90s Washington D.C punk rock scene was one of the most fertile musical breeding grounds in recorded history, Jawbox’s guitar team are perhaps second only in their sheer innovative attack and mastery of the team dynamic to their Fugazi. That sounds like a disservice, but believe me when I say it couldn’t be more of a compliment. Again, Barbot didn’t join until the band had put out some material – 1991’s Grippe – and his arrival heralded the follow up to that record, Novelty, which was a strong piece of work but a little hamstrung by murky production. It wasn’t until 1994’s For Your Own Special Sweetheart that Jawbox proved themselves to be a musical force equal to or surpassing any of their contemporaries.
Robbins and Barbot’s guitar lines jabbed and thrusted like fencers, again employing contrasting base sounds to excite the ear. Instead of the dullard’s approach to punk rock guitar parts, namely, play the same power chords as each other and hope no one notices – I’m looking at you, All Time Low – Barbot and Robbins never played the same thing at the same time, and at times didn’t playing anything at all, letting the silence and the rhythm section set the mood. These heart-stopping dynamic shifts are perhaps best displayed by one of FYOSS’s best cuts, the J.G Ballard-inspired ‘Motorist’. Have a listen.
3. Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard (Hot Water Music)
Hot Water Music are one of those bands that, if you’re up together with recent efforts from contemporary punk rockers, take about one listen before your internal monologue goes “Oh, that’s where they got it from.” Cited as proponents of the hilariously named subgenre ‘beard-core’, they nevertheless seem to inspire a deep and profound adoration into all of their listeners, with their fire-over-water symbol being a frequently spotted tattoo at their shows. While it’s no secret that they are blessed with an incredible rhythm section, it’s their guitar slinging, raspy-singing pair of Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard that I bring to your attention in this case.
Compared to the previous two on the list, Hot Water Music are perhaps of a more melodic bent, which, given their frontmen’s later career journeys into folk, isn’t that surprising in retrospect. Not that it makes them any less powerful; they carefully balance gravel and sweetness in equal measure, taking a cue from Fugazi in their song structuring. Ragan and Wollard’s crunching guitars blend into one musical roar on first appearance, but on closer inspection reveal a focused, driving approach that always is in the interest of the song, with no macho posturing or jostling for position. Take a look at ‘All Heads Down’ from 2004’s The New What Next – the chunking rhythm from Wollard grounds Ragan’s piercing counterpoint, until they swap completely in the verses, with Ragan instead charging ahead with burst of power chords while Wollard’s ringing lead line cuts through it all.
4. Frankie Stubbs and Dickie Hammond (Leatherface)
I would be absolutely remiss in my duty if I didn’t mention this most mercurial of duos, especially in light of Dickie Hammond’s tragic recent passing at only 50 years of age. For the record, the Guardian actually did an excellent and very respectful article concerning this, which you can find here. But rather than mourn the man’s passing, I will attempt to celebrate his legacy, which goes hand in hand with his bandmate Frankie Stubbs. Out of the unglamorous depths of Sunderland, these two men crafted a sound that is simultaneously bone rattling and yet tugs at the heartstring – one which the aforementioned Hot Water Music pilfered liberally, and I say that as a staunch fan of both groups.
Although Hammond wasn’t on every single Leatherface record, he did feature on what is arguably the band’s best known and best loved record – 1991’s Mush. Here the duo’s work perhaps hits its zenith; sonically, the album is quite guitar focused, but I have to point out that this is no detriment whatsoever. Stubbs’ Tom Waits-esque holler rides on a six-stringed maelstrom, with as many killer melodic hooks packed into each song as lesser bands manage over an entire record. Furthermore, Stubbs and Hammond didn’t have any of the usual punk reticence to solo in the traditional sense, ripping off lead lines that can stand toe to toe with any player worth their salt. To demonstrate all of the above, take a listen to this later cut from Mush, ‘Bowl of Flies’, which incidentally features one of my favourite chorus lyrics; “Do you understand what it's like to be a laughing stock in life?/Do you understand what it's like or who you are?"
5. Rick Froberg and Jon Reis (Drive Like Jehu)
It was clear there was a striking and powerful intellect going on beneath all the mayhem, which unfortunately appears to be lost on the pig-squealing ‘core bands we’re cursed with in some cases today. Froberg and Reis continue to be active in the music world, but Drive Like Jehu left a mark which remains to this day unique. In the vein of Fugazi and Jawbox, they took the simple ingredients of guitars through loud amps, fused it with outside techniques and a daring, leftfield approach to melody. I’ll finish things with a song of theirs that perhaps microcosms everything described above – ‘Step On Chameleon’ from their self-titled 1991 debut. It alternates between a gutsy, churning verse anchored by Reis’ throaty howl, before folding into melodic, surging choruses that gives the lie to the pounding riffs surrounding them.
I hope you agree with all of the above; if you’ve read this far, why not comment with some of your own favourites? I am one hundred per cent certain I’ve left out more than a few people than need mentioning; sound off and chastise my ignorance!

This giveaway didn't last long so if you are just now finding this I am sorry. The coupons had a very close expiration date so we needed to move quickly. I am sure we would have had many more entries but with the limited time everyone that entered had just that much better of a chance to win.
We had 16 total entries and so the number was plugged into random.org and two winners were chosen.
The first winner was selected as the number 14 made it's debut. The #14 entry was where The Great Elephant Symposium Said - Hubby really needs this for his workout clothes...and okay I'll admit it I could use it too for my running clothes :)
The Great Elephant Symposium, aka Mary from The Great Elephant Symposium was the first winner and I am sure will be putting the Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator to great use for her hubby's workout clothes (wink, wink)
Why not head over and follow Mary's blog and congratulate her on the win!
Jill from Run With Jill was the second winner and will be using the Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator to clean up her 15 year old's Cross Country clothes (hey, I have a 15 year old Cross Country runner too!)
Head over and follow Jill's blog and congratulate her, and while you are there, I hear she has a giveaway going on as well.
I went ahead and contacted both winners directly so we could get the coupons sent out today. Thank you everyone for stopping by, reading, and entering the giveaway. If you haven't already, please check out my new Family Running community on Facebook, we would love to have you join the conversation.

Although most of the web design & development process occurs in the digital realm, there are many of us designers who give birth to our creations not with a tethered mouse but with an old fashioned pencil. Either approach can result in good design, but my preference has always been the pencil. I love my Koh-I-Noor Rapidomatic and the momentary creative sabbaticals it affords me away from the computer.
Why start with pencil and paper?
Because, personally, this is how I was trained as a designer. In design school, we were graded on the design process, which began with pencil thumbnails. I learned to rely heavily on speedy iterations of designs filling up page after page. After a few hours of sketching I would have several quality options to consider, which I could further refine with more sketches. The pencil approach puts our mind in touch with ideas and executes them through our fingers in a way that the computer just can’t compete with. Perhaps I’m too biased, but I’ve never had the same experience when starting out a design on the computer.
Why not start with the computer?
The computer makes it more difficult to iterate through ideas quickly and compare and contrast them in context. Screen real estate is at a premium, and printouts are a waste of toner and paper. Computers also have the tendency to make a designer lazy. As a result, their work becomes formulaic. Just look around at all the sites selling or giving away web design templates to see what I mean. The computer brings us closer to the brink of web design becoming a commodity, instead of a representation of original thoughts and ideas. Computer birthed designs also result in design trends becoming deeply rutted with cliche. The onslaught of gradients and drop shadows is still holding strong, only to be reinforced with grungy designs complete with distressed vine arrangements and dripping spray paint.
It is my personal belief that good web design can result from either approach. However, great web design has to begin away from the computer, preferably without one in sight or in any proximity to the designer.
I’ll end with some words from Pablo Picasso:
“Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.”

MassDevelopment has provided $1.4 million in loans to Masy Systems Inc. of Pepperell for the purchase and installation of a state-of-the-art, environmentally-controlled storage facility for Masy's customers in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
The loan was underwritten through the SBA 504 program with the services of BDC Capital of New England as the conduit lender for the subordinate debenture portion of the loan. The company used this new financing to expand its biorepository facility space six-fold, the majority of which will be used for -75 degree Celsius storage so that area companies and research institutions can maintain key biologic compounds used in research and development. In 2009, MassDevelopment provided $700,000 in financing for the first phase of their biorepository; the latest expansion will make the Masy facility one of the largest commercial biorepositories in the Northeast.
"Watching one of our clients grow is always exciting, but investing in its new expansion is even more satisfying," said MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones. "Masy Systems provides valuable services to the commonwealth's vibrant life sciences and biopharmaceutical industry sectors. This project will seek to enhance and complement those services and provide valuable space to their customers and partners.
Since 1984, Masy Systems has provided an expanding array of services to its clients including validation and calibration services, equipment sales and rentals, datalogging and monitoring and the expanding biopharma storage services. The company, which has grown an average of 30 percent per year for the last five years, plans to add at least seven new jobs with this facility expansion, bringing their total employment level in Pepperell to more than 60 people.
"This expansion was driven by customer demand," said Laurie Masiello, Masy Systems Inc. president. "Our growth has come from not only new customers, but our existing customers asking us to do more. It is gratifying that they place their trust in us to safeguard their products in the conditions they require."
MassDevelopment, the state's finance and development agency, works with businesses, nonprofits, financial institutions, and communities to stimulate economic growth across the commonwealth. During fiscal 2011, MassDevelopment financed or managed more than 300 projects, generating investment of $3.8 billion in the Massachusetts economy. These projects are projected to create more than 10,000 jobs (2,547 permanent and 8,129 construction) and build or rehabilitate more than 1,000 residential units.

I have worked as a train driver for 19 years in France and Belgium, and in that time I have seen the evolution and mutation of the railroad landscape. I used a camera to record this mutation of my work environment. It’s a bit of a “duty” to remember. Many of the original buildings have disappeared and there are no pictures of these, so I try to keep this memory alive with photography. I keep a neutral view without artifice.

PunchTab is the world's first instant loyalty platform reaching over 20 million consumers every month across hundreds of sites that have integrated the company's loyalty programs. Using PunchTab publishers, retailers and application vendors can deploy a tightly integrated reward program to their users in minutes with no development or marketing costs. Consumers can immediately authenticate through popular social networks and start earning loyalty points that are redeemable for exclusive offers, gift cards, and custom rewards.
Based in Silicon Valley, PunchTab was founded in January of 2011 by Ranjith Kumaran who previously co-founded YouSendIt.com, the largest digital file-delivery service serving 600,000 subscribers, and Mehdi Ait Oufkir, an early YouSendIt employee who went on to found JellyDo.com, a location-based reminder service for Foursquare users.
I joined PunchTab end of August 2011, right after graduating from Polytech Nantes, and we were only 4 at this time: Ranjith, Mehdi, Ben and me. First job, first time in the US, seven-month-old startup, you can't imagine how excited I was to start this adventure.
When you start at PunchTab, the first rule you are taught is that you need to push something in production during your first week. This is an awesome way of making you feeling 100% involved in the company and makes you realize that you have a huge responsability regarding its growth. I quickly started to work on the giveaway widget and it's still my cherished product that I love to maintain and improve as soon as I have some free time.

After graduating high school, I decided to enter the University institute of Technology of Nantes, in order to get a two-year degree in Computer Science. I chose this kind of diploma because it combined theory and practice, and it kept the doors open to continue my studies. Before starting the courses, I was already fond of computers and technology but never knew what programming was. During the two years of studies, the logic behind programming, algorithms and data architecture became a true passion and I knew that I had found the right path for my career.
Willing to improve my skills and knowledges about Computer Science, I was able to join the University of Nantes engineering school thanks to my ranking for the DUT (rank 10/120). Over the years, I took advantage of the international partnerships the School had to improve my english skills. In the second year, I did a six-month project for Hightail (formerly YouSendIt), a company based in California. Then I did a two-and-a-half-month internship at the South China University of Technology, in Guangzhou. Finally, I did my 9th semester (first half of the third year) at Linnaeus University, in Sweden.
Now that my studies had ended, it was time to find a job and I was really motivated to come work in the Silicon Valley. Therefore, I reached back to Mehdi Ait Oufkir, who was the person that was supervising the Hightail project two years earlier. Fortunately for me, he was just starting a new company, with Ranjith Kumaran, and was looking for a junior software engineer. This is how I ended up working at PunchTab and I'm thankful every day, since they hired me, for the amazing opportunity they've given me!

- The Taste of Language
192 Pages; Print, $15.00
This spacious book, a hybrid of verse, prose poetry, essay and memoir, scrutinizes the act of meditative attention at the heart of any successful poem. The phrase “Slow Poetry in America” transforms from one episode to the next here, from person to animal to plant to place:
Slow Poetry in America the coot. Slow Poetry in America the live oak. Slow Poetry in America the chipmunk. Slow Poetry in America the crow. Slow Poetry in America Niagara. Slow Poetry in America Duck Creek. Slow Poetry in America Brazos River. Slow Poetry in America Colorado. Slow Poetry In America white pine. Slow Poetry in America balsam. Slow Poetry in America birch. Slow Poetry in America Lake Huron and Lake Simcoe. Slow Poetry in America the moon. The moon. Yes, the moon. The feminine necessity of America.
Slow Poetry is a term coined by Dale Smith in 2010, while he was completing his PhD at The University of Texas at Austin. Along with his partner, poet Hoa Nguyen, Smith was an avatar of Austin’s poetry community, publishing chapbooks and broadsides under the imprint Skanky Possum Press, hosting a legendary reading series in their home, and collaborating with local and national artists. Now Associate Professor of Rhetoric at Ryerson University in Toronto, Smith has invited his current Canadian surroundings into a book that also finds settings in Texas, Yemen, Oregon and San Francisco. Like Slow Food, Smith writes in the Introduction to his 2010 online exhibition/anthology of Slow Poetry, his “has in common with the other ‘slow’ movements a commitment to understanding the means of production and distribution of written, performed, and plastic works.”
Further, Smith conceives of Slow Poetry as, at least in part, a critique of the excesses of conceptual poetry, asserting the values of Slow Poetry’s “turn toward meaningful descriptions of the world” as opposed to “poetry that dramatized the dark and stupid.” In his widely-circulated essay on the 2015 Vanessa Place controversy, “On Free Speech and Racial Difference,” Smith draws on his disciplinary training as a communications studies scholar to insist that we “actually listen to the appeals directed not so much at the formal aesthetics of poetry but at the institutional management and division of poetry into carefully controlled hierarchies of power in the form of publishing and social positioning.” While conceptual poetry “can be successful or unsuccessful,” he writes, Place’s project of tweeting racist excerpts from Gone With the Wind (1936) is not best understood as an example of an artist asserting her First Amendment rights, but rather as an act that “resonates in the violent atmosphere of racial brutality and in a complex array of anger and heated defensiveness that stems from what Robin DiAngelo calls ‘white fragility.’”
What pains Smith most about some ConPo projects may well be their assault on the social. In the Slow Poetry Introduction, he asks sincerely, “what can poetry possibly do to strengthen networks of people involved in the ongoing complexity of their lives?” In a dialogue with Kenneth Goldsmith published in Jacket 2, Smith, modest and gracious throughout, acknowledges that he and Goldsmith have “different notions of the avant-garde.” In contrast to Goldsmith’s wish, as expressed in this interview, to avoid “career suicide” with deliberately provocative work that will reach “the biggest audience,” Smith describes Slow Poetry is explicitly interested in an avant-garde of social change, art that excavates “what is buried in the historical record, or by what has been eroded in the cultural forces of oppression” and “points of intersection…between intimacies of feeling and the shape of public thought.”
Smith’s new book itself is a kind of collaboration, lovingly hand-pressed and published by Austin-based poet and book artist Kyle Schlesinger of Cuneiform Press. The press, known for its exquisite broadsides and artists’s books, is an appropriate home for Smith’s version of the avant-garde, publishing Jim Dine, Johanna Drucker, Ted Greenwald, Bill Berkson and Charles Olson. Hand-sized, slightly rough to the touch, and two-color...

When it comes to the high life in Tel Aviv, residents of the Mediterranean metropolis need look no further than their own rooftops.
With space always tight in Israels fast-paced economic and entertainment capital, rooftops have been transformed into retreats with thriving outdoor gardens, restaurants, yoga, art and music studios, spaces for krav maga martial arts classes and even guest houses.
Hana Wimberly, 26, turned her barren, cement rooftop into her own outdoor haven with just a few mix matched chairs, a couch and a wooden table.
For more than anything its a place for me to feel very connected to the city, she said. Tel Aviv, as much as there is to do, going to a bar and spending 50 shekels ($15 USD) on a drink gets exhausting.
Her lifestyle also connects her and her family to their past: her grandmother had a similar rooftop salon in Tel Aviv.
Iyar Semel, a 38-year-old musician, planted an organic garden on his rooftop, with compost, vegetables, fruit trees and a shower. It all allows him to merge his ecological lifestyle with the restraints of urban space.
For Guy Elhadad, 26, his rooftop is his creative incubator, where we can do whatever we want because we dont need the approval of others.
He and two roommates host yoga, music and art sessions there and built a spare sleeping place for people passing through. Elhadad said he loves Tel Aviv and through his rooftop can help make it bloom.

WandaVision 9 Episode Review
[00:00:00] Casey: So do you guys watch one division? I didn’t. I said, fuck it. I just don’t want the story to end, so I’m not going to watch the last
Okay. So here’s, here’s some, I really loved, I touched upon it before earlier, but I really loved this element of it. I really loved the fact that the showdown between. The two visions you know, kind of like soul stone division and white vision w was, was, was based upon reason rather than force. So they start fighting, but within a second, they just start talking to each other and that’s how they’re resolved and, and, and.
You know, one, the one divisions, one division is gift to white vision is unlocking all his memories and given him this whole memory and sense of self back, I thought that was beautiful. And I really loved the way that for a minute, here’s kind of like, you know, kind of [00:01:00] his is. Generation circuit becomes, you know, sole stone colored as he gets everything back.
And then his eyes turn from being an automaton, but to the eyes of the character. And he’s like, Oh, wow. Okay. Now I am, I am vision
Casey: kind of gave him his
Kenric: humanity. Yeah.
Sumner: Well, I’m really hoping that what he did. He just flew over to sort of headquarters waited for, you know, for the, for the sword dude arrested to turn up in chains and just tore him apart,
Kenric: you know, and all his memories back then, if he gets all his memories back then they, they had concluded by the whole story of the ship and replacing the planks and the rotted out.
And eventually the, all the plankton men replaced and blah, blah, blah. And they had this home. Kind of, I don’t know it was over done conversation, but it was like, it was a needed conversation to try to explain the mindset of both of them.
Casey: Well, it, it made sense [00:02:00] and all, like I liked that they kind of brought that into the, into the story to kind of explain like, yeah,
They, they needed something to explain what was going on, but he gets all his memories back. Why isn’t white vision at the house when they go through, because to me. If I got all my, if I get all my memories back and I am vision, he’s not going to have the memories of the children. So he’s not going to have that emotional tie there, but his emotional title Wanda’s going to be there.
And why isn’t, Medivision having an emotional tie to the children, because if my kid was in that room and it was going to go into oblivion, I am not going to be downstairs with. With whoever is downstairs, but be it the mom or not, I’m going to be with those kids. And it didn’t make sense to me that he spends his last moments hanging out with Wanda.
He should be with the kids and why isn’t white vision, who has all the memories who is in love with Wanda, not there with [00:03:00] her during that time, because she’s losing her whole family. And I didn’t understand why that didn’t happen. I was, I was, I was floored. I was like, wait a minute. There’s a huge emotional component here.
Sumner: I’ve got theories on both of those things, but I think you do as well. Casey, you do your theories. So,
Casey: he’s a sensibly, you know, a child’s mind in the body of a man white vision. And he, he gets all that knowledge. What did you do when you had the Childs? Mind and the body of a man.
And you first discovered the internet. That’s exactly what he’s doing. I didn’t
Kenric: take it that way though. I took it that he got all his memories back.
Sumner: He’s flown away to masturbate solidly for a month, as soon as the vision, just on top of a mountain in like Switzerland, just constantly with all this white vision judges, like spraying over the mountains, like snow.
And, you know, it’s like, we’ve got an unusually, like it’s, even though it’s, even though it’s spring and the snow everywhere in [00:04:00] Switzerland. To the, the NCU
Kenric: say it that way. I took
John: it, that he, his
Kenric: vision, that all his memories are back and he has become the vision
Sumner: of old. So, so my theory, even though I would love him to be for one, to read the description, the decision. Yeah. The decisions like
dispensing loads of like sell stone Chisholm everywhere. You see, my, my view is actually what has happened is that it? I think, I think it’s very close to what you were saying, Casey. I think he’s got all the visions memories. Back, but it’s the nature versus nurture debate, right? It’s one thing getting all the memories back.
He’s got them, but. Division has grown emotionally, which is about living through that life. Not just being aware of it has grown emotionally over four years. So he’s come to have those emotions and comes to the point where he can cry because he’s lived through it. It’s not just that he technically remembers it.
And I [00:05:00] think the issue with white vision or the way I’m choosing to look at it right now is that with white vision, he’s got all the memories back, but what you can’t give him. Is the emotional resonance of those memories. He’s still an automaton, but he knows everything, but he can’t feel it because he’s got to live it to feel it that’s
Kenric: the thing though, is that that is division.
He’s only white because of the manipulation of the government that is, and they blocked those memories from being a part of those. He did live. They just, all the other Medivision did is under the firewall within his mind that wasn’t allowing him to access. When we say memory, it’s not like they’re their memories of another vision that were downloaded into his head.
They were already there. He. Did experience all that. They just blocked mentally blocked everything from him having access to it.
Sumner: So I, I think you’ve, I Kenrick, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head completely. There [00:06:00] he’s been clinically rebuilt by the government, right. Rebuilt by sword in the laboratory scenario.
But of course he wasn’t created that way. He, it, the reality is he was created as a mix between the work that staff and banner did. Yeah. And that of the job is animous and persona and of the soul stone, which they had in the under Thor’s hammer. So he’s like at least 50%, all this mystical energy. And he kind of built himself this version of the vision.
It’s been built in a fucking laboratory, right. You know, is, is much more a work of like, you know, actually human scientific building and circuits. And I, my that’s why I think even though he’s got all these memories, the way they’re being processed is there’s much, much less element tality within this version of the vision.
This version of the visit is much more like a fucking Android, which is not to say can’t learn how to be what he was, but he’s not that right now, if [00:07:00] that makes sense. I agree that that’s how I think about it. And to talk about your, your, your thing about. How could you have these boys? This is wonder vision.
How could you have these boys choose to spend your last moments in the wife? I think, I think the reason for that is if you look back over the show, cause I was thinking of it, of exactly that point myself. The boys are mainly a construct of wonder. Yeah. And there are constructed. She has created them.
Yeah. And he is the father, for sure. Yeah. But for him, the primary emotion, you know, these through line on emotion is his love for her. So normally if you have a biological child, You know what happens with a lot of people, not everybody, but with a lot of people is that becomes the primary love of your life.
Right. And then your partner becomes the almost, but not quite equal version of that, which is why so many people will sacrifice themselves for the, for the betterment of their own children. [00:08:00] Right. Throughout history. Yeah. But, but actually. It’s wonder who feels that connection because she created them for vision.
They were created in front of him. Right. Which is a slightly different thing. He didn’t create them, but he exists because she created him on her love for him, created him. So in that moment where he knows he’s got it and he’s moved by the fact that the boys are going, don’t get me wrong. He doesn’t, it’s not like he doesn’t give a fuck, but in that moment what’s created him.
Is is wonder and how to love for him. And so his final moment kind of has to be with her emotionally. That’s how I looked at that. That’s how it kind of makes sense. It would be different if he was their biological father or he created those children. It would be a different deal. But I think he seeing them through a prism of her.
And so his primary connection is with her. And I think that’s why the final moment is with each other rather than class, than a family environment. If that makes sense, totally
Kenric: invested into the show. I didn’t want it [00:09:00] that way, you know, but it’s hard to tell, so I don’t get that choice. Yeah. Like I, I just know how I would react.
Like I have a seven year old and she’s adopted. Yeah. Okay. I would still feel the need to be there. You know what I mean? Of course, of course. No, no, no. I have to be there. That’s no, there’s no, if ands or buts about it. So it was just, it was a weird experience watching it.
Sumner: No, mate, I really do get that, that, you know, we’re all like, we’ve all, we’re all family, men, we’ve all got our kids and more Johnny, what do you think?
John: I think you nailed it there with it, with that kind of why he was down with it ultimately. Like, it’s not vision, right? It’s a construct of one is of Wanda and it kind of would be that he’s going to be with her because he was created out of her. It’s like the kids were, I don’t understand ultimately why she wasn’t in the room with the kids, because she would have that connection with them.
I don’t [00:10:00] know why she would, you would put them to bed to let them disappear by themselves. I would, I would expect, you know, if it would be in the room with them, you would just write it out altogether and. I think that the last scene of when vision disappears in front of her, he says, you know, I love your body, whatever he says, that would have been more powerful.
Have they also been there? Right. They all were just in that huddle together. Casey. Yeah.
Kenric: That’s another yeah. Aspect. Think about it that way too. It was, it was just a weird, it was just a, it was a weird scene. And I think Andrew explained it really well of what, like he must’ve been in the writers room when they were deciding how to do this, because I think he kind of nailed
Cool. So in spirit, I got kicked out of the writer’s room after my show, but it makes complete sense. Just going to be walking off constant. No, no, no. He’s Tyler’s cause he’s an Android. She’s going to be placing himself,
Casey: Europeans. What I was going to say [00:11:00] your time really been a thing for them. I mean, not day by day by day, they’ve gone through decades of changing growth in the span of a few days.
So the attachment that you have, you love over time, you gain trust over time, you gain All this stuff over time. And of course, you’re going to love your kid, but the, the idea of them knowing their children right away when they were just like, they just showed up out of the ether. That was one thing that kind of I’ve been thinking about.
And So, yeah, of course they’re going to feel that loss, but it was just a sensibly over the span of a few days. So they didn’t really get to know them.
I still don’t [00:12:00] know if I like my kids. I’m joking. I’m joking. I love them. They’re they’re the light of my life, but she’ll, she’ll agree.
Kenric: The set up times with they, they set up knowing
John: your wife for her to have
Kenric: she She showed great emotion, mama bear. You know what I mean? A lot of the, like they, sorry, guys. They kept showing like, Hey, we got a w we want to show this emotional connection between son and mom. And they did it over and over again. And they showed and she had. Expressions of love speaking, speaking of
Casey: family moments that have to drive my life.
So I’m going to go,
Kenric: Johnny kind of nailed it. Like it should have been a family of them just appear more than let’s shut the door. I don’t want to, I don’t want to see these two snot heads when they disappear. Cause I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear them [00:13:00] complaining about being obliterated. So I’m going to go downstairs.
Sumner: Well, right. Okay. Priorities.
Kenric: okay. Now she’s gone.
John: Instead of here. Let’s talk shit about him. No I think, I think that it’s, I dunno, I love the kids. I, I will put it in jumping to the end to end of the episode. They’ll do the final, final scene in the, in the cabin. Where, you know, Juan is essence specific going through the dark hold.
Did you guys hear the kids?
Sumner: Yes, absolutely. Right. Then
John: tells me that the kids aren’t actually gone and she’s trying to find them,
Kenric: or it’s somebody using the voices of the kids to manipulate her?
John: I think the, I think if it’s manipulating the kid or I think if the kids don’t really exist somewhere, it’s going to be a huge misstep for Marvel because.
Having those two characters really lets them set up the next round Avengers, right. Having wicked and speed, lets them build up the new Avengers, the Avengers. I mean, and they’re just fun characters. I think that I kind of delete [00:14:00] leads into our, our, our top, our, our conversation of, of this show and where it’s going with multiple orthodontists Moni verse versus that she’s going to be trying to find those kids.
That’s going to be the catalyst of what Dr. Street has to come into. But it’s, it’s gonna be interesting because, you know, is she going to be the bad guy of that movie because of the end of this movie? Because the very Britain of this movie? Yeah, there is, Oh, Jack, Jack’s come and say hi, say hi, Jack, Jack.
But yeah, but he I think he’s going to be, she’s
Kenric: trying to find the kids. All right, Jack.
John: I lost my train of thought now, but anyway, I think that I, I think, I think the kids are going to come back. I don’t think it’s somebody trying to fuck with her, with the kids. I think it’s actually, she’s looking through the dark hole. Yeah. To find somewhere in the multi-verse, but those kids exist
Kenric: so she can take them.
Sumner: So I think I said this already, and I’m not going to spend a lot of time repeating myself, but I so I’ve, I’ve loved the show from start to finished. There’ve been bits of it that haven’t resonated with me too much and, [00:15:00] and like selves I’m devoted father that my kids are both adults now under far and away, you know, the most important things in my life that said.
I couldn’t stand those kids in, in one division. And I just wanted them to get fucking horribly killed or something, you know, sort of half the way through. And every time they’re on scanners, love. Fuck not these kids again. Jesus Christ. And I just really struggled with it. I just couldn’t connect them at all.
They had no emotional resonance for me. And I’m because the thing is cut child actors. It’s a tough gig being a child actor, because there’ve been a handful who’ve been instinctively very good over the years, but you see Jodie foster when she’s young, when she’s in a TV version of paper, moon, when she’s in texting, texting driver, she’s fully formed as an amazing performer, right?
If you see in the original paper, moon movie, If you haven’t seen it, one of the greatest performances you’re ever going to say by like a pre-teen person is is a what’s her [00:16:00] name? Hang on Tatum O’Neal and paper, moon. She is incredible. Right. She’s amazing. And there’s a handful of other people over the years as well.
Right. But generally speaking. Child actors, even though they might have it within, this would be great. One day are generally not fully formed in terms of the performative ability. And so that was my issue with these two, two guys, like, you know, that there was a level of, of, of, there was a coach element about the performances, like in this final episode where they, where they used their powers to try and find the soldiers and like, and he steals the baseball cap from one of the soldiers and puts it on his head and takes his sunglasses.
And is it wicked in speed? That’s what the call, they turn up in front of each other and they high five each other. The reality is that looked very forced and coached. It didn’t look like a natural acting moment. And then that moment tells like, fuck these kids, they’re taking me out the show again. Do you know what I mean?
This is like watching some blame ass fucking early seventies, like Croft brothers show with that [00:17:00] level of acting. And so I just couldn’t buy into it. Right. So that, so that was my issue. So I’d never really felt it when they’re on screen. And so when I heard their voice at the end, I was like, Oh no, we’re not going to see these guys go.
I thought I’d gone for good. You know? So that was my, that was my thing.
John: We’ll see them as those kids again, I think if they, when they find them, they’re going to be older, right. They’re going to be the teenager.
Sumner: Which, I mean, I think I’ve got to get a balance though, right. Because you know, my mate, Lindsay Olsen is not that old, you know, and, and you know, you can’t have a with strapping, like 20 year old sons, it’s gonna look weird, but
John: you can, if they’re pulled out of the multi-verse and they’ve been
Kenric: aged up in like three days anyways, so yeah,
John: we’re going to have Ms.
Marvel, but they’re interesting. A lot of younger characters that build up the new Avengers, right. And, you know, they’re, they’ve already stated that they’re, they’re pushing towards that nether next Avengers team, quote unquote, that’s the similar crew. And it would make sense for them to pull off these characters from the multi-verse somewhere where they are [00:18:00] already, you know, in their teens.
And that also then give them another dynamic against Wanda and against vision, because they’re not necessarily their kids, but they are their kids and they’re also older and they would expect them to be, but the
Kenric: multi-verse allows for the doctor who moment of a new doctor.
Sumner: Yeah, of course, of course. Yeah.
Kenric: Right. I mean, that was like the greatest thing that Dr. Hu the team ever did was have a way for them to regenerate.
Sumner: Yeah. And I’m, by the way, you know, the way it worked with doctors originally So it’s quite obvious that the original intention, when he regenerated for the first time, what they were thinking of with their minds is he was regenerating to a young version of himself.
And it was only when he went from doctor to doctor three, then became, Oh, actually he’s a completely different version every time. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, that’s how creativity evolves. Right? We haven’t touched upon one of my absolute favorite moments in the show [00:19:00] and which is very redolent of watching like a Blumhouse film or something.
I love the moment in the show when. One that turns the tables on Agatha. Right. And do you realize, Oh, wait a minute. Agatha, has you in that moment where you think Atticus has got it right? It’s like in the Cincinnati kid, you know, I’ve got the man I’ve got him and then there’s that, there’s that moment where she creeps up behind her and it just feeds some in-kind tourists.
But it’s shot in that stagger cut way that, you know, a lot of contemporary horror films are. Right. So she just kind of appears and whispers in her ear and it was genuine. It’s really creepy. But in that moment, she’s, she’s, this is not what she’s not beaten. She’s she’s got her beat and then they did it again.
Cause they, then they take you to the Salem, which thing to think, Oh my God, she know that she’s got to this time, but she didn’t, she just has a beaten cold. Yeah. And in, in those. Five 10 minutes of the show. She’s realized the enormity of [00:20:00] the power she’s dealing with and she’s mastered it in those five to 10 minutes.
And then she has that force to be reckoned with. And then she’s unbeatable. When do you think she was
Kenric: building those rooms?
John: When she was throwing the fireballs, the walls,
Sumner: correct. I think that’s exactly what she was doing meant to
Kenric: misdirect you thinking that she’s firing at us. Right.
Sumner: And that’s what I, and that’s what I guess the things is that they’re being fired at her and she’s like winning.
But she’s casting those spells and just, you know, she’s, she’s, she’s already beaten. She doesn’t know it yet. And that moment of revelation that’s what I also thought was, was great about harm’s performances. Like, I mean, cause I’ve generally preferred her preferred her performance in the more comedic episodes which really plays into what she does really well.
Kathryn Hahn. Yeah. But there was that twist a moment where she went from being. You know, the TV movie villain of the week character arc of darkness, war with a big, which to be like, Oh fuck, I I’ve totally been outclassed here. [00:21:00] This person’s way more dangerous than I thought she was. I thought she was dangerous, but didn’t know what she was doing, but she’s learned what to do in like record time, just within the course of a conversation.
You know, and then and then that way she’s almost pleading not to have a kind of brainwashed and go back to being the asinine next door neighbor. And when, when she says to wonder, you know, you’re not this you’re cruel and there’s the look on one this face, which is. That’s right. I’m fucking cruel.
You know, she totally owned it as well. She was not like, no, no, no. You know, you’re, you’re, you’re judging me to Asti she has this gleeful sadistic look on her face, you know, to me,
Kenric: I liked that aspect when they have characters that because if, if the role was reversed and an Agnes or Agathon, I always get confused with Agnes and Agatha zit person.
Yeah. Same person. If they were reversed and she had wanded down on her knees. It could make the decision to let her go or to kill her or to [00:22:00] imprison her mind. She would just kill her. And it wouldn’t matter the type of begging that Wanda did, but then you, and then people will, well, you should show remorse cause they’re, you know, they, they, you can clearly tell it.
It’s like, no, man, this is it. It it’s, it’s like the old adage of. That whole revenge section of if I kill this guy and he has a son, then I got to go and kill his son because the sound’s going to come back and kill me, you know? And, and you can take that on whatever level that you want. You can take it as a, as a literal translation to that, or you need to make sure that you’re in a position of these repercussions are going to get to this point and no for no point further.
Excuse me. And I kind of liked that. Wanda was like, I’m not, you’re not just going, I’m going to imprison you. You know what I mean? She could have killed her, but she did have a little bit of the, of, of not remorse, but [00:23:00] of sympathy because she didn’t just take it all away. Right. She said, no, we’re going to imprison you because there’s, there’s, there’s a little, there’s a little two hands there going on.
Right. Once she’s given her a little bit of sympathy by just in president you’re, I mean, I mean, look at our prison, right? Yeah. Yeah, it could be suburb hell, but it’s not like she’s in literal prison and not in can’t do anything, you know, but the other time is if she killed her, she knows the experience and the knowledge Agatha has.
And she’s like, now I know I can go back and I can get these things from you because I’ve already, I’m already able to whip you like a dog. So I’m not worried about that. Yeah. I think that’s what.
Sumner: I think it’s exactly right mate. Yeah, exactly. Right. Also, I think it’s fascinating. The whole dynamic of her with the town full of people, because on the one hand monikers going Don, you’ll never know what you did for them, which is give up your idyllic family life so they could be go back to normal again.
Well, that’s true. But also [00:24:00] you created that idyllic life and enslave these people in the first place. Yeah. She hasn’t really done anything particularly good. I can totally understand how that whole town full of people fucking hates her guts because they’ve been enslaved for a month subjected to subjected to her nightmares and everything.
That’s worried. Her has been worrying them. They haven’t been able to escape it. They’ve been enslaved, so they’re never going to like her. Okay. Well done. And by the way, I think this is again, the Marvel universe does quite well. It has these not necessarily black and white iterations of what some of these characters do.
And you flipped back to a film. That’s has a lot of influence over this series, age of Ultron. That’s basically stark in all his like super genius arrogance going. I’m going to save the world by putting in a wall of armor around it. But what he does is create this fucking despotic robot, that light. Kills hundreds of thousands of people.
That’s all on him. It’s never [00:25:00] really dealt with. And like, you know, wander to date has done the small version of that, which is like, I enslaved this entire town for a month just to make myself feel better. And I think parts of where they may be going with a character maybe. Is that she’s ultimately going to become a more damaged and malevolent force within the MCU than she is right now, almost as if what she’s done in one division is a trial run for the things that she’s prepared to do in the future.
They’re setting it up. And so if she thinks those fake, like, you know, those fake kids of hers are going to come back and be imperiled, the kids that she’s created, that she’s already been prepared to just take out the lives of like 200 people to fuel her own fantasy. It’s like, what will she do next? If she thinks they’re genuinely at some point kind of risk, you know, that’s when you open up the whole house fan door, you know, that whole, like, you know, the whole.
The actions of a desk bot rather than somebody who’s empathy, empathic about other people.
Kenric: That’s true. So
[00:26:00] Sumner: great power corrupts. Absolutely.
Kenric: Right. Yeah. Andrew described his favorite moment of the two of this series, season series finale. I want to say season and Tony, what was your favorite moment of
John: this last episode?
And there was, there was so many, and we haven’t even touched on some of the best moment of the show. But. My overall favorite moment would probably be the realization between in the air between Agathon Wanda, that Agatha is lost. Like when she first, the first time she goes, like, when she puts her hands out to do a spell and nothing happens.
And then at that moment, everything you want has been in doing clicks and make sense. And that episode that was visually. Yeah. Yeah. I, yeah, I think that’s probably my favorite moment. I did like, I also, I really, really, really enjoyed how the two visions into their fight. I love the fact that it was a reasoning battle, not a physical battle.
It made sense. And it made, it made the characters better. Right. Because you would think these two people would that way.
Kenric: Yeah. Yeah. That’s really cool for me. It was,
[00:27:00] Sumner: yeah. I was going to say, how about yourself? Can
Kenric: Rick? Yeah, for me, it was, it was the end scene after the credits where she’s in a cabin. You know, way far away out in the remote cabin and you see you’re sitting down drinking, it must have been a a
Sumner: tea actually making some tea for herself.
Kenric: Yeah. And then inside is. It’s like she’s, she’s has two versions of herself.
Sumner: One more time, almost like an astral projection of yourself. Right. And you know, our brains just doing this stuff, when
Kenric: they show her studying that dark hole, it just looked so visually pleasing, you know, and it just, it looked amazing.
I really liked it. I
Sumner: really enjoyed it. I, I think that’s right under Karen, let me ask you w we’ve talked about those highlights from the finale. If you look over the whole show I’ll give you mine, and then you tell me what you think. What do you vote as, as kind of your highlight moment? Actually, for me, I think [00:28:00] probably the big sort of mic drop moment was I think it was in, in.
Is she in in episode four where you start to see the world outside of the West V fancy world. And I think that was a huge step change. And then I think like the same episode in which both Jimmy woo and Darcy turned up, I think the characters were beautifully portrayed in this. And we’re both improved by actually there.
Kenric: if, if. Disney does not step on that bandwagon and get a show for Randall park and for a cat
Sumner: Dennings Dennings they’re amazing. Kat Dennings and the may Randall park
Kenric: three with photon. Yeah. And have a three person showed up if they don’t do that. I don’t know what to do. I think the mic drop moment for me really.
Was the moment that the guy that his visions corporate [00:29:00] boss comes for dinner and he starts choking. And the mom from that seventies show, I can’t remember her name. So that’s how I’ll say it because they will know exactly what I’m talking about, starts telling him to stop it while she’s laughing. And I think that for me was the moment that everything got, Oh, okay.
This is a different. This is different, you know, even though we had the whole TV show thing and we knew it was going to be kind of weird, that moment was so, so Twilight zone ish, that I was like, Oh, I’m really going to enjoy this. And I think that would,
Sumner: it’s that moment of unsettling darkness, like in, you know, whatever it’s called the famous Billy mummy episode with the kid who can control the world around him.
Right. Yeah. You know, it, it was like that. It was like, wait a minute. These people are aware that some dark shit is going on, you know, and you get that glimpse of, Oh, they know that something’s up, you know, they’re just, you’re not seeing the natural. Yeah. Yeah. And I love it too, because
Kenric: that’s when the whole concept of Mephisto.
That’s one of the questions I wanted to ask you guys. [00:30:00] It never materialized. Mephisto never materialized. And that’s what you heard over and over and over again, over the last, like four weeks since about that episode. And I’m sure if
Sumner: you saw the book
Kenric: and old scratchy scratchy on the, on the bunny and, and there there’s a lot of things, elements that go up to the Disney, of course, in fakies crew, never show their hands.
So they were brilliant and not on laughing about it. Which makes you think, Oh, it could be, yeah. Nothing ever material. Yeah.
John: I think that’s very, very much on purpose. You know, they, they like to see things in early and, you know, they didn’t need to reveal with us though in this show. Cause they can know.
Now we know that he’s probably there and there’s seeds for future things for him to come in.
Sumner: I Johnny. I, I, I totally, I totally agree with that. Yeah. I think that’s exactly right. Oh man, when you’re saying that, you know, can you make me think of another thing that I, that I hire? I really liked this episode, but just [00:31:00] as I’m saying that it’s kind of, no, we’re not in the episode in the season.
I think one of the actually. Share on Allo delights of the season was the Agatha all a long reveal on that Munster style theme Chen, which played totally into what Katherine hearts are really good at doing. I think that was probably a high point in the entire show and she’s been like the best thing.
One of the best things, because they don’t, you can fault her. Don’t you can fault Paul Bettany who, by the way, Dick getting the vision. Right. That is tough, man. That is tough. Getting that performance. So Nate perfect. Like he has often people look at Lizzie Olsen, look at Katherine Allen and go, man. They they’re just standing out, but it doesn’t work without him.
You know, that, that line that he had, I think it was in last week’s episode about you know, what is grief? It’s not like, love persevering a that’s a beautifully written line by one of the female show, show runners, authors of the show, by the way. And it was so beautifully [00:32:00] delivered. I think his performance has been amazing.
And the thing that’s the thing you’ve got, everybody’s been great in the show. With the possible exception of the child, actors, sorry, child actors. I’m sure you’re going to be good one day, but all the adults have been amazing. Right. But the three of them, the three essential leads were like Catherine Bessie.
Just fucking unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah. And, and, you know, obviously Randall park, Kat Dennings and the lady playing Monica, his name is sketchy with the time being, we’re all brilliant as well, you know, just really good. But the standard performance in this has been very, very high. I think.
John: I agree. I agree. And we haven’t even talked about a monochrome bonus episode at all.
And like the manifestation of her seen her powers and like the bullets go through her. And that was the, like, it was cool looking. It was fricking cool. I’m like wondering what where’s she going? I mean, obviously she’s going to be a captain Marvel too, right? That’s our next appearance. Yeah. Do it there. Is she going to just, is she going to be fighting alongside captain Marvel?
Is she going [00:33:00] to. I mean, we know that she’s going up to the space station just to see theory. This is what they lived with this but what’s, what’s going to come from that. Right. Is, is the other
Sumner: squirrel. Tiana Paris, by the way, that’s her name? She’s, she’s a great actress. I think by the way, if you should, if you’re watching this, you should check her out on a social media.
She’s done a whole bunch of great like Instagram posts and Twitter posts all tied into. So she did a whole, one of her dancing around at home at her kitchen unit to the ag through a long song, which is worth the price of admission alone. And I think one of the things that’s great about 10 Turner Paris, a great about.
Jimmy were great. Great about Randall park. Great about Kat Dennings is they all seem to be having such an amazing time during the show. They seem to be genuinely enjoying themselves, both inside the moment, but also in on the like social media personas. They’re really having fun with it. Yeah, I think he’s awesome.
But I think there’s undoubtedly, undoubtedly going to be involved in the [00:34:00] next captain Marvel, because there’s that huge, like, clue dropped in the first episode in which he appears that she has got some kind of problem with captain Marvel. Yeah. And you remember when the other some characters are mentioning them to her?
Oh yeah. No, it’s the relating the story of how captain Marvel almost beat Thanos, but then quite the minute her name comes up. She just shuts up and has this funny look on her face, which I’m thinking is probably driven by, Hey, you’re this all powerful being when my mum was dying of cancer, when you come back, it’s worse than having a word with it.
I’m imagining, you
John: know, best friend left.
Sumner: Yeah, how come you’re a best friend and yet I haven’t seen you for the last 30 years. What’s all that about, it’s going to be something like that, right?
Kenric: Yeah. Yeah. It’s going to be an interesting ride. I’m I’m excited to see where we go next, next week. So everybody knows we’re going to have another show because we’re going to go over the making of right.
Or is that the main
Sumner: making of next Friday? Yeah.
Kenric: Which I’m hoping they bring [00:35:00] that back. They, they used to do the making of. All the time with movies. Like I remember watching the making of star Wars and the Makey. Yeah. Predator and the making and they don’t do those as much as they used to.
Sumner: This feels to me like it’s going to be a regular on Disney plus thing, and it’s going to be one of the way they bridge from one series to the next, not to just smash straight in.
Yeah, to have some kind of retrospective. They used to do it a lot in in the UK with Dr. Who and when it was the tenants and the Smith doctors, when it says absolute international peak, they used to have a show called doctor who confidential, literally after each episode, half an hour, talking about how they made the previous show.
So I imagine this is the season ending version of that. And you know, you, hopefully there’ll be, it’ll be worth watching and talking about. Because there’ll be a few more revelations of what’s yet to come.
Kenric: Yeah. David Tennant, just because he said his name is my favorite doc.
Sumner: He’s brilliant. [00:36:00] He’s a great actor.
Kenric: Good. Oh
Sumner: yeah. He’s he’s a fantastic actor. Very, very talented. There’s so much. I’ve got a
John: question for you guys. Oh, this is move now. I wasn’t done. You’re trying to end me. I’m not done yet. Was there anything in this series or in this episode that besides the kids Sumner that you thought was a misstep?
Sumner: I don’t really have anything to say apart from the kids think the kids just because I didn’t think the performances were there and they stood out cause the other performances are so great. I think quite clearly for scheduling reasons. Kat Dennings we that very much. And clearly she shot all her scenes in a certain period of time.
Personally, I would have, I would, I think so. What do you think was a misstep? I, no doubt that was sharing during the reasons why it didn’t happen, but when Monica goes to Jimmy, woo where’s Darcy and it’s like, Darcy’s already let out because she thinks, you know, postmortems or lame or [00:37:00] whatever, actually I would have found it much more satisfying if just for a beat.
If they’d been able to get, you know, cut Dennings for another half day. And I’m basically in that moment, it was Jimmy and Monica and Darcy talking to each other. I think that seemed to work better for me. It still was good, but it was clearly, you know, we’ve you watch enough TV or movies, anything. Ah, there’s clearly a fucking scheduling issue.
It’s like clearly cat Denning shot a hole there, scenes and it brace on that, that last scene, you know, she. She obviously filmed a bit the insert with her and her driving the van, but it’s the only time you see her in the episode, I just would have preferred preferred to see her for another minute or so.
And it closed out on her and Jimmy was sharing a laugh. I think that would have been more satisfying than just, Oh, you know, you know, kind of being in charge. It looks good on your Jimmy. Was Darcy. Oh, she’s fucked up. I think it would have been much better if Darcy would just say, go doesn’t it. This guy is the man to, you know, to me or some, you know, do you know what I’d love [00:38:00] to solve a few unexplained, like mysterious crimes with you, Jimmy, you know?
And it ended in that kind of way I would have been. Yeah. Okay. That’s where it’s at. So that’s my answer, Johnny. How about you?
John: So for me Well, I’m torn, right? Because I, well, I’ll what I’m gonna say is, well, one, I, I liked the fact they went this route. I also don’t like the fact that with this route and that’s with Quicksilver and Ralph boner.
Sumner: Oh yeah. We haven’t talked about that yet. All right. Good.
John: Yeah. Like I like the fact that they totally fucking. Hid that from us. And we, I mean, every week we were wrong, we were hardcore wrong on his character every single week. And then the real, the reveal that he’s actually Ralph boner was the Ralph that Alex is talking about all the time was a really good reveal, but I also, and Alison feel like they just wasted this Evan Peters in this character of, of a, kind of a throw away guy in one division.
This is what I was going to say, but like it’s can’t, but th th I guess that doesn’t stop me from coming back as, as hooks over at all, which I want, I really, really want him to come back. [00:39:00] So mine is not really a misstep. It’s more of a missed expectations of what I thought was going to happen. But I mean, as the show’s done all season long, every time we think we know something, it’s like, Nope, you know, you don’t know shit.
It’s over here. It’s over here. Yeah.
Sumner: I hear you on that. And I, I would describe that as the as the BA and Kingsley Mandarin moments of this show, do you know of me? And the thing that’s important to remember, but the banking’s, the Mandarin moments is ultimately they just unpicked it. Yeah. Cause you remember one of, one of the, when they used to the shorts, whether it’s they don’t do anymore, when they used to do the shorts, one of those shorts.
Completely deconstructs the whole thing about other Mandarin’s not real. Right. And they have that whole thing where he’s being interviewed, but then he gets captured by the real Mandarin, you know, and that ends on that note. So, you know what I mean, that they have got previous for going back in and changing things, you know, but they clearly were doing the banking’s the Mandarin for, for, for that, for sure owner,
John: which is [00:40:00] like
Kenric: with that whole Mandarin thing, because it was like, You’ve got there, setting something up big and.
Sumner: Nothing what? Well, I, I actually think one of the reasons for that is I think the Mandarin is very, very, very tricky to do it, you know, in the present day for the same reason that we were talking about Jimmy in the fact that he first appeared in the yellow cloth, you won’t see any yellow color comics these days because it’s the whole kind of yellow peril villain thing, which is what the Mandarin is.
I mean in today’s enlightened world, quite right. You can’t really have these kinds of, you know, huge, huge Rachel character chores as bad guys. Do you know? To me, it’s like, I think the Mandarin’s very, very tricky. Even if you take the caricature out of it, it’s a very tricky to do properly. I mean, probably
John: sorry, Johnny.
Oh, they are making the Shingleton legend at 10 rings. Watch the tendering Mandarin.
Sumner: Yes. So I guess, you know what I mean? Quite clearly. I mean, I’m [00:41:00] guessing, but. I would, I I’d be fucking flat out amazed if Shang is actually you know, the lost son of Fu Manchu in this movie. I mean, I’m pretty fucking certain that’s not going to happen.
Do you know?
John: I highly doubt that, but, you know, yeah. It’s exact because we are going to get some version of the Mandarin again, in that movie, I assume, because it is to do the 10 rings there, but as it’s going, I assume it’s going to be very different than the comics. Very different than the,
Sumner: than what you had.
It has to be. But also they’ve had five years to think about that and get it right. And to involve the right kind of people on the creative end. So that it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s a much more credible deal. Right. Jenna. I mean, yeah, I agree. And the template for doing these things right. And doing them in the right way and doing them in, in a contemporaneous way is what they did with black Panther, you know, so, so that they, they got a team of people, you know, to, to adapt black Panther for whom the life experience is a big part of what that [00:42:00] movie became.
I no doubt that I would imagine that’s what they’re doing with shank G.
John: Yup. Yup. Everything was messed up.
Kenric: No, I, the Ralph Boehner thing was, was, was on my mind that, you know, I, to be honest, I hated it. Right. That was the one part of the show that I hated. I hated that it was just, it was nothing. Yeah, it just, it was, I want him to be clear about it, but it was disheartening in a lot of ways.
I was like, really? That’s what you’re going to do with that. What, and then the way that he’s, you know, she just. The photon just defeats them right away for the most part, once they actually start doing anything. And then he’s just, I don’t know. I was just really disappointed. I was really in that spot.
John: I think we all really wanted him to be Quicksilver from the
Kenric: explanation of why do you have to be that person, then it could have been anybody to do that.
You know, it would have been, you could have, you could have brought back the [00:43:00] actor that played Quicksilver in the ventures, you know, and, and, and you could have done that and it made more sense, but you got a, I dunno, I think with, with the anticipation of the X-Men and mutans coming into the Marvel universe and they’re choosing to do fantastic four, which I think is a fucking mistake.
I think that’s the worst mistake that they’re making that I’ve seen so far, because nobody, my age and younger cares about the fantastic four. Nobody does. Okay, because even anybody who is reading comic books in the eighties really doesn’t care about the fantastic where people who grew up on the fantastic four read the fantastic four and the 16, they care about what’s happening.
You know, they cared about that, but that’s, that’s a group of people that are not going to be watching your movies over and over and over again and go to theaters bunch of times.
John: I, I agree with you there. However, And it’s weird, given the Marvel, given the MC his track record of taking things that nobody gives a shit about and making them good.
I mean, they made guardians of the galaxy. [00:44:00] Cool relevant. Do I need to galaxy was a sh no offensive caters, but it was a boring ass comic. Like there was some cool stuff in it. I remember reading. Yeah. I remember getting him as a kid and like, it was so ridiculous. I read them like, Oh, this is, this is fun, whatever, but I didn’t care about them at all.
I didn’t care about captain America. I didn’t care about Thor. I didn’t care about Ironman, but now they’ve made him really exited relatable and enjoyable. So I, while I agree with you on everything you just said about that for, I don’t, I don’t care about that storyline. Yeah. I have full faith that they’re going to do something that’s gonna make me go, Hey, I
Kenric: like this.
No, I know they’re going to do it. Right. You know what I mean? I know they’re going to make it to where you’re going to love the fantastic four, because that’s the one thing that MCU has learned has proven that they can make you care about that. Just like you were talking about with gags and the galaxy guardians of the galaxy and all that kind of stuff.
I just think when you have the mutants and the X-Men sitting right there, why you choose to do the fantastic four over the X-Men just boggles my mind. Yup. Yup. You know, you’re setting [00:45:00] something up later, but I just, I
WandaVision 9 Combined: don’t
Sumner: the only answer I could give it is that the fantastic four has been done. In a mediocre way and in a very bad way, it’s never been done brilliantly.
Right. Whereas there are very good eczema movies. You know, what I mean to is really good days of future past is good. Logan’s really good. You know, and, and there are, and actually first-class is very good. So, you know, there are at least there are at least four great eczema movies. And, and so I think mate, I would imagine.
That Fagin co Louis Esposito, all those guys where they’re going is shit. We were marble. We should be able to make a great, fantastic four movie and fix all the problems. So I think for them that’s a much bigger win because they go from mediocrity at best and, and some it’s just a total mistake at worst.
And here we go. But I think it’s going to be tough for them to get, right. I think it’s tough for the FF to work in the modern era. Do you know what I mean?
Kenric: X-Men [00:46:00] right. And you can get the mutans right. Then if they flop on fence as a port, it’s not such a big hit. Fantastic for flops. Now that’s going to be a huge hit.
That’s going to be a huge dent.
John: Yeah, well, we’ll have to see, I mean, we’ll have to see it. We, it it’s, I think they’re gonna, I think it would be fine. I really helped that they introduced the characters before the movie. Well,
Kenric: the teaser trailers look fantastic.
John: Yeah. I hope we get to see Reed or Johnny or somebody in another movie or property before that movie to seed them into the universe, but either way.
I mean, I, it’s going to be
Kenric: interesting what Chris Sinsky is going to be an amazing mystery.
Sumner: It’s are they really going to cast him? Cause he would be fantastic if he plays Richard don’t they already have a teaser trailer or did I see a
Kenric: heat? The fan made stuff right now. I hate it. Hate it because they see it.
And the fact that people can take Adobe premier or final cut pro or all these other things and take their, [00:47:00] and take their Sony and visually create these amazing. Things and then put it out there and then I’m like, I’m excited. And then, Oh, it’s fan made. Fuck. You
Sumner: can have somebody get a really good one over the last week for for for a new verse, the Miami vice the thing has, but, but with all the characters, you know, as they are now, And it was so well done.
I was like, Holy fuck. They bring in Miami vice, ah, this isn’t real, this isn’t fucking real. This is it’s nonsense
Kenric: to say kudos to those guys because the people that you’re doing some of that fiction
Sumner: or that it’s so good, really so good. It’s like somebody did one with a Spider-Man Charlie would say we would go around and do Garfield then as well.
I almost had me, but it’s like, the thing that gives away always is who’s posting it. You know, to me, and it’s always some fucking numnuts, it’s not like Marvel entertainment. It’s not like NBC to me
Kenric: when when a trailer drops, I won’t watch the [00:48:00] keynote or the screen rants, or I go to Warner.
Sumner: I go to them.
He’s got it. Yeah, you have to, yeah.
Kenric: You go to any of these guys that are reposting it one. I just think that’s. I just, I don’t like it. You know, and too, I, I, I, I want to know that what I’m watching is legitimate and it’s because I’ve been burned by this so many times it drives me nuts, even though I got to give it to them because yeah.
John: Last question for you guys. And then we can wrap up again. Are we done?
Kenric: We had.
John: Oh, we had a great ride on this, on this season, you know, of one division age, a week of us talking to it and all this speculation. Do you think we’ll have the same kind of ride with winter soldier or a 500 soldier?
Sumner: What’s your answer, Kenrick. I,
Kenric: I think that, I think we’ll have a different, it won’t be as visceral. I think one division was very visual. I think it was very you have some emotion tied to [00:49:00] it. I think we’re going to be excited for winter soldier. Like we’re excited for a new lethal weapon to come out, you know?
And when lethal weapon two came out, people were couldn’t wait for that movie to come out because lethal weapon was so good. And. You know, Mel Gibson aside and all that kind of
Sumner: crap. I mean, Oh no, I’ll give some back then in the moment you don’t know what’s coming in the future, you know what I mean?
And I just think that he, that I think that’s what w I think winter soldier and Falcon and winter soldier is going to be more like that. I think we’ll be excited. I think we’ll be talking about it. I just, I don’t think it’s not going to have the mystery twist and turns like one division.
Sumner: But my, my answer would be that I actually can’t wait for a fucking when soldier and I bet we easily fill an hour, at least talking about that stuff.
And primarily for two reasons, right? Number one, just talk about one division. One division has been an amazing ride and I’ve really enjoyed, you know, talking to your boys about it. And I really appreciate you bringing me on from episode four or whenever it was, cause I’ve really enjoyed it, [00:50:00] but here’s the thing.
One division is a show I’ve loved. About two Marvel characters who are towards the low end of my interest. You know, I’m not particularly a Scarlet witch fan. I’m not particularly a fan of the vision. Not really. I mean, I’ve loved the vision in the movies and what they’ve done with him, but I don’t really care about those characters too much.
Yeah. But. This portrayal, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Baton. These portrayal of those two colors made me really interested in them. Right. And that to me is kudos to MCU, kudos, to fake Esposito, all those guys, you know, that they’ve just done a great job of making me care about two characters that were the low end of my Marvel interest.
I don’t know what Falcon, when soldier’s going to be like, but I do know that Vulcan went to soldier, the absolute, maximum upper end of my Marvel interest. They’re two characters that I fucking love from comics that I absolutely fucking love and all my favorite Marvel comics ever. So it will take, you know, it would have to be spectacularly bad.
Ill [00:51:00] imagined poorly delivered for me to be going, ah, shit. I’ve got my say about this. I’m sure that’s not going to be the case. Cause my brain’s full of like, you know, sort of, 80 years of captain America history. And while there’s a long period of time, I didn’t read any captain America because the execution was nowhere near as good as the character.
Right. That’s from about 2000 onwards. Once you get the Brie BayCare or captain America, that’s amazing comics. And that’s what all this shit is based on. So I just can’t wait to see what they’ve taken from those comics and what they’ve innovated and what they’re doing with it. And already that lethal weapon.
So nature. Of of Bucky and and Sam’s relationship. That just looks amazing to me. Yeah. I have really lent hard into the charisma of those two actors who were amazingly charismatic actors, I think, to have the best supporting players in the Marvel universe. Right. So for them to have the whole show wrap around them, that’s fucking brilliant.
Kenric: Yup. I, Sebastian Stan is, as the winter soldier is Bryant. Okay.
[00:52:00] Sumner: And Anthony Mackie is a naturally funny bloke. Do you ever watch him in any of the outtakes or loads of the Marvel antique, so wrapped around him? Cause he’s so naturally funny with all that. He finishes a scene and he goes, right. That’s it cut the check, you know?
And he does that time and tell him again,
Kenric: you know, Sebastian, Stan looks a lot like Mark Hamill when he
Sumner: was young. Yeah. Well, he does. He looks a hell of a lot, like Mark Hamill after his road accident. Yeah. It doesn’t look a lot like Mark Hamill in star Wars, you know that you know, new hope, but they look post, post, post facial reconstruction, Mark Campbell.
He looks fucking exactly. It’s
Kenric: kinda weird. You see the side by side of them and you’re like, Oh my God. Yeah.
Sumner: Oh yeah. And that’s all that the thing, by the way, it’s fascinating to look at how Moore’s original face. In one or rather four, compared to what it was in everything else, his face is fundamentally different, you know, just after it’s shot that movie called that summary at a massive like car crash and his appearance [00:53:00] is actually completely different.
Kenric: It’s very weird. I don’t know what’s going on with Johnny. All of a sudden he’s gone. I’m
Sumner: telling you, I love that headshot though. I bet. I bet the vision would love that head shop would find it very fascinating.
Kenric: He’s got the out-of-focus background. He’s
Sumner: got the, yeah. Now that’s definitely portrait mode, you know, to me.
Absolutely. This is corporate now that that’s John Horsley, the third running for Senate. Exactly.
Kenric: If you vote for me, I promise you will. And every belly in a tax is going down by at least 5%.
Sumner: Yeah. This YouTube video was produced by citizens in support of John, John 30. And it’s a J H three.
Kenric: Are you, is he back.
Sumner: You know what John normally does. He normally enormously messages on FB. So I’m just going to see if you sent us a message of any ass. Oh yeah. He says, go ahead, wrap up. I’ve had to shut off my cam for a second. Oh, okay. Okay.
Kenric: Well [00:54:00] we do need, we do need a wrap up. It’s it’s it’s come to that time. Yeah, I very much appreciate you joining again.
We’ll see you next week here. Make mine Marvel TV.
Sumner: And I very much appreciate you inviting me Kenrick and, and, and John invited me and I’ve, I’ve really enjoyed all of these have been great. Yeah. Something to look forward to my Friday night on my Saturday night, rather after I’ve gone for a long walk and I’ve after I’ve had several pints and, or several large whiskey and Ginger’s which I’ve actually got.
Non-lab nice. Delicious though. Very good. Rye whiskey, actually rye, whiskey and ginger. It’s the way forward.
Kenric: There you go. There you go. All right, guys, we’ll see you guys next week.
Sumner: Yeah. See you next week, brother, you take care of yourself. You’re the main Kenrick
Kenric: there. I stopped the live stream. Hey, before we, before you take off.

The Covid-19 pandemic is resulting in a lot of unemployment which might eventually lead to increased crime rates. We might see more cases of burglary and theft as more and more people become unable to put bread on the table.
During such troubled times, it is important that you maintain your own safety by installing a dedicated security system.
But that being said, a home security system won’t just simply protect you from mishaps but also offer many more benefits. In fact, here is a list covering 12 reasons why you should get a security system for your home.
But first, let’s quickly go over this short guide on how to choose a smart home security system.
How to Choose a Smart Home Security System?

Here is a look at a few questions you should discuss with your home security provider before deciding to use their service:
- How will it protect my home?
- What is the cost of all the security equipment? Are they covered by warranty?
- What type of customer support or tech support am I entitled to?
- How will the home security system be installed?
- Will the security system function in the event of a power outage?
- Can I connect more equipment to the security system in the future?
These will help you understand the scope of the security system and how it will be protecting your household.
Alternatively, you can also go for a DIY home security solution. Here, you will be able to set up a more personalized and customized security solution tailored to your needs and requirements.
Remember, at the end of the day, each home is different, and the security system needs to be adjusted depending on your lifestyle.
Now that you know how to choose the right home security solution, here are 12 reasons why you should get a security system for your home.
1- Allows You to Monitor Your Home Remotely
Almost all smart home security systems will come with a security camera. This can be wirelessly connected to your smartphone through an App. You can then use this app to connect to the security camera and see real-time footage of whatever is going on in your household.
As such, even if you are out of town or on a vacation in a foreign country, you will still be able to see if someone has broken into your household. In fact, the cameras even come with a motion detector, so they will inform you on detecting motion inside the household, and then send you the footage.
You can then use it to call your local police station and stop a burglary in the process.
2- Keep an Eye on the Kids and Elderly

The security cameras and remote monitoring features will also help you to keep an eye on the kids as well as your elderly parents.
You can use the cameras to check in from time to time to see if everything is okay.
Some cameras even come with a speaker and mic allowing you to talk with your kids or parents even while you are in office.
Also, some of these home surveillance kits come with a child safety lock. This prevents toddlers and small children from accidentally disconnecting a call.
3- Can Help You Get Medical Assistance Quicker
Getting quick medical attention is crucial for a positive recovery. And this is more so the case for elderly citizens.
Traditionally, at the time of a medical emergency, you are required to call a medical professional. However, if you are compromised to make a call by dialing on your phone, you can simply order the home security system to call the hospital or one of your loved ones for help.
Alternatively, if you are feeling too sick, then you might give a loved one access to the security camera to check up on you periodically. This ensures that if anything bad happens, that person will be able to call for medical assistance asap ensuring a positive prognosis.
4- Can Scare Away Burglars and Thieves
We all know the saying – “prevention is better than cure.” As such, deterring away burglars and thieves should always be the primary motive.
This is why you should always have an alarm system as a part of your home security suite to scare away criminals. For example, you can try out our new gadget – Mimic GO™, which is a feature-rich portable personal safety alarm device.
It is an incredibly small and portable device that you can attach to any surface – including doors and windows. Thieves and burglars most likely won’t see the device, but if they try to open the door or window, then it will trigger a loud alarm, thereby scaring away the intruder.
Not just that, but the device will also send you an alert notification on your mobile, so you can call the cops asap.
And the best part is that Mimic GO™ doesn’t require any specialized installation. All you need to do is connect it to your smartphone with Mimic app, and you are good to go.

5- Helps You Find Evidence of Burglary
In the unfortunate event that a burglary does take place, having that recorded on a home security system acts as an authentic source of evidence. You can also use our new gadget Mimic GO™ for this. It can store data of all your alerts which you can show to the police to find the introducers and retrieve your stolen valuables.
We also encourage that you keep a security camera installed as well. Having access to the actual security footage of the burglary will also help you get insurance claims on anything that might have been broken or destroyed when the crime took place.
6- Have a Security Professional Monitor Your Home
Some home security system providers offer the option of having your home monitored by a team of security professionals. This is a very useful feature especially if you leave the town often on business meetings where you can’t focus on checking up on your home.
Now, by having this service, you can rest assured as a team of security professionals is constantly monitoring your household and checking for any abnormalities. If any issue does come up, they can call the respective authorities and thereby, provide protection from any potential mishap.
All the while, you can focus on your business, or relax on your vacation.
7- Protection From Fire

Home security systems are just about catching burglars. They also come with smoke and heat detectors.
These sensors can be programmed to raise an alarm if there is an abnormal amount of smoke and heat generating in a particular place in your home. Not just that, but they will also send an alert notification to your mobile as well as the local fire department.
This allows you and the authorities to take quick action to minimize the damage.
As you know, it only takes a few minutes before a simple flame can go bezerk and burn down an entire household. And having a smart home security system gives you the time advantage to put out that fire before it causes any damage.
8- Prevents Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can be released from charcoal, stove, or any heating system that you might have in your home.
Too much carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious health issues like carbon monoxide poisoning. Now, most modern home security systems come with carbon monoxide detectors. It can alert you if your household has dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide.
Furthermore, if there are elderly people living in the house who can’t leave the premises quickly, the system can be programmed to call paramedics as soon as high levels of the gas is detected.
9- Gives a Peace of Mind
Going over all the points we discussed above, you can clearly see that having a smart home security system can provide unparalleled peace of mind.
It allows us to be one step ahead of any bad thing that might happen. This includes burglary as well as gas leaks, or even a potential fire break out.
You can always rest assured that if anything bad were to happen, you have a system in place that will inform you asap. Not just that, but you can monitor in, whenever you get that gut feeling that something is not right, and feel more at ease.
10- Saves Money on Home Insurance
Owning a home comes with a lot of associated expenses including home insurance. Now the cost of your insurance policy will depend on the things that it covers including fire damage, burglary, as well as damage from natural disasters.
However, did you know that having a home security system in place can lead to reduced 10-20% insurance premiums. As such, you are saving money on your insurance which you can just use to pay for the home security system or save for something else.
11- First Step for Setting Up Home Automation
Image Source: Unsplash
Having a wireless alarm system that can connect with your phone and other smart home products/gadgets is an excellent way to get started with setting up home automation.
This ensures that your home is safe and protected from different types of problems, which should be your number one priority.
Once that’s taken care of, you can start adding other devices into the systems that are focused around the quality of life improvements.
12- They Aren’t Expensive
First and foremost, you need to understand that security systems aren’t as expensive as you may think. However, if the upfront cost does seem like a big issue then why not use our affordable Mimic GO™ personal security gadget.
It is super easy-to-use and moves you one step closer to a smart home solution. Furthermore, you can get more Mimic devices and attach it to more of your doors and windows to make your home completely secure from all angles.
In case of security, instead of thinking about the cost, consider the benefits for a second.
Having a dedicated system that can contact the police or the appropriate authorities during a burglary, fire, or any medical emergency is indispensable.

There isn’t much Quincy Jenkins can’t tackle.
The former Baylor University football player graduated in December 2016 with a Master of Business Administration degree he earned online. Two months later, he landed a strategist job with Google and was set to become a first-time father.
“My family was really very supportive,” Jenkins said. “They all thought I was going to go back to school much sooner. Most of my friends, however, thought I was nuts to go back to school and work a full-time job — especially considering my wife [Ashley] was pregnant and due any day.”
Still, Jenkins persevered. He attended school online while working full-time in commercial sales with Sherwin-Williams in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
“I have a brother [Ahmad Jenkins] who went through the on-campus MBA program,” he said. “He spoke very, very highly of it. Of course, I was a little familiar with the program from other friends. It was between Baylor’s program and a program at the University of Texas. It kind of just boiled down to familiarity, and I have a lot of Baylor pride. I couldn’t see myself with that burnt orange degree on the wall. I felt like the Baylor degree would carry a little more weight for what I wanted to do.”
Jenkins was originally planning to become a cardiologist. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Baylor in 2009.
“When I finished my undergrad, my initial plan was to go to grad school and kind of figure out where I wanted to go to work from there,” he said. “That was around the time the economy was tanking. I was lucky to take a job with Sherwin-Williams. As a trainee, I found out I had a knack for people, which translated into sales. In that time, I worked through a number of different roles, most recently leading sales teams.”
With his future goals in mind, Jenkins eventually knew he wanted to build a strong foundation for responsible leadership by equipping himself with all the tools of a business background.
“It was a plan that I wanted to make sure I owned before I got too old and involved in family and everything else extracurricular, so it made sense. And the flexibility of the program is what made the decision easy for me.”
Jenkins played high school football at Trinidad, about 90 miles northeast of Waco. He earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Baylor Bears after walking onto the program as a freshman.
“I’m still the only six-man player to get a scholarship to a Division I university and play all four years,” Jenkins said. “I’m pretty proud of that.”
However, trying to balance the demands of school and football proved to be a difficult assignment.
“Being a biology pre-med major and being on a football scholarship was quite the juggling act,” he said. “Making lab time work 20 minutes after practice ended, getting to the lab for two hours and making film sessions and things of that nature was a very trying, constrained period of my life.”
While Jenkins was finishing the bachelor’s degree program, he had an internship with Baylor Media and served as athletics coordinator for the City of Waco. He landed a job as a store manager for Sherwin-Williams in December 2009.
“When I first started, I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll take a year to work here,” he said. “Then, I’ll go into some sort of science field and see if I catch on with my pre-med pursuits, but the educational path was pretty long, and I never really saw myself working in a lab. I’m a people person. I didn’t really know that about myself.
“Working in a lab environment or a technical environment or something like that … I figured I could make it work. But when you find out you have a hidden talent to do things, you kind of want to explore it more. That’s what Sherwin-Williams brought out of me.”
The professors, whether it was negotiating salary for job opportunities or just general work advice, they’ve all been open throughout the program and since the program.
Back to Baylor
Six years after graduating from Baylor University, Jenkins returned to find a significantly different experience as an online student.
“It was rough at times because 20-30 hours a week wasn’t easy,” he said. “Having the flexibility to make those 20-30 hours a week available at any free moment you have definitely helped.”
Jenkins said the degree program provided him with valuable insight into different areas of the business world.
“The application of some of the case studies and some of the books were really good,” he said. “The online book list is one of the best things, because the relevance of the different ideologies when it comes to different business thought processes really opened my eyes to other people’s perspectives and how to go to market and tailor your skills to meet somebody else’s needs.”
Jenkins said he also got a healthy dose of perspective from the curriculum.
“I really took a lot from the Ethical Leadership [BUS 5421] course,” he said. “Having such a strong sports background, I was of the school of thought that you work through issues and overcome mountains by climbing harder.
“It really helped to temper my leadership style and be a little more empathetic to those who may not work at the same pace as me or come from the same background. I really think it made me a better leader and a better husband. Not everybody is going to respond favorably to those my-way-or-the-highway tactics of leadership.”
Another course Jenkins especially enjoyed was Economics [ECO 5305].
“I like the global nature of the course,” he said. “I liked how the course is tailored to help you understand how the world economy and a lot of the current events all play together in the business world. I really enjoyed that aspect of the course, whether it was the articles or some of the case studies, I felt like the relevance with the global economy and dealing with my current job in sales, I felt like it really made a hazy picture clearer on how markets are often manipulated.”
Onward and Upward
Jenkins said he hadn’t planned on attending his second Baylor graduation ceremony, but he was happy he changed his mind.
“I’m 32 years old, and it just didn’t feel like it was something someone my age would do,” he explained. “I was told by my old football trainer Mike Simms that students don’t walk the stage for themselves — they walk the stage for their parents. I decided I would do that for my loved ones, no matter how uncomfortable I may have thought it would feel. Once I was there, it felt good to be around people. I was probably on the younger side of the online students.”
Jenkins was right about being on the younger side. The average age of online MBA students at Baylor University is 36.
Jenkins also credits the online MBA program with helping him land his new job at Google.
“Going into this, I really didn’t plan on looking for outside opportunities,” he said. “I really wanted to make myself more marketable internally, but for some reason, through the program, I was motivated to go to a job conference in New Orleans in October.
“From there, I was really blessed to meet several companies and get the ball rolling with several job opportunities. It’s something I would suggest for future students. If they post anything or talk to you about going to some of these career opportunities, even if you’re not currently looking, you should attend at least one while you’re pursuing your degree just to see what’s out there.”
Jenkins said all of the things the Hankamer School of Business has to offer set Baylor’s MBA apart.
“I would say understanding that all things that are valuable in your life or are worthwhile are generally difficult,” he said. “Take advantage of the resources the program has for you. The professors, whether it was negotiating salary for job opportunities or just general work advice, they’ve all been open throughout the program and since the program.
“Most of all, be brave and don’t be afraid to dive into the program and learn and stretch yourself. At the end of it, the more you put in, most definitely, the more you’ll get out.”

The Sunday Times League Tables Top State and Prep Schools was recently published. The ranking in the League Tables is based on the aggregated average scaled scores achieved in reading, grammar and mathematics from Key Stage 2 assessments taken by pupils in year 6.
Consequently, St. Winefride’s R.C. Independent School has reached a very high ranking of 28th. This is, yet again, another successive year for the School in the Sunday Times League Tables Top 100 Prep Schools and places us in one of the highest spots for schools in the West Midlands Region.
Indeed, we are the only school in Shropshire to feature in the top 50!
In a recent report, inspectors commented, ‘Attainment in English and mathematics is particularly strong and pupils’ excellent skills in reading and writing are well used throughout the curriculum. Pupils are highly numerate and can explain their working with confidence…pupils are confident in employing higher order thinking skills. Parents agreed that the School helps their child to develop skills for the future’.
We are very proud of our pupils and our achievements, working to our School ethos of encouraging all pupils to achieve their full potential.

Ricky, yeah, there are a few pigs around the state,especially in the southern and western part of the state. Not long ago on the local news, they showed a few feral hogs that were in folk's yards right in the suburbs of Birmingham, which is where I live.
Then again, we had 2 black bears show up here last year out of nowhere, one on one side of town which they darted and caught, and about 2 weeks later,another one about 30 miles from the first one. That one dissapeared and hasnt been seen since around here. It may have been something to do with last year's really bad tornados here, I dunno?
The problem is that unless you know some good soul that has land that will let you hunt his hogs or you have land yourself or belong to a hunting club, you are pretty much screwed.
I like your signature and remember the movie "The Jerk".
Remember the "Optigrab" ?
I can relate to this well as I am an Optician by trade.

At 12:00 PM on January 20, 2017, the next Commander-in-Chief will be sworn into office. Once the Inauguration ceremony is over, the clock begins again and the list of priorities over the next 100 days to forty-eight months will be established. The items on this list are tasks that will not require hands-on assistance from us common folk. Things like assembling a strong and diverse cabinet that will define steps to stimulate the economy, revisiting regulatory restrictions that hinders growth and establishing new relationships with world leaders are just a few of the items that our next Commander-in-Chief will assume.
But what will be OUR LIST of priorities - We The People? What are the local level tasks and community challenges that we can assume responsibility for? Well, I'm glad you asked.
In the morning, WE, the American Citizenry, will wake up to the fact that half of the citizenry will not be exuberant with the election outcome. And the other half will eventually calm down and realize that "the work" is still ahead of us.
In the morning, WE THE PEOPLE, of all colors, all religious backgrounds that honor and respect one another must face the fact that this country is more racially divided and in worst condition than it was in the mid 50's. How will we begin to approach this topic, and engage in constructive conversations that lead to healing and understanding?
In the morning, we will still have a divided House and Senate determined to hold their power and privilege.
We will still have a jihadist mentality media bias and imbalance that can't afford to "come clean."
We will still have an academia epidemic still committed to misguiding, misinforming and polluting the minds of our college students. When will these institutions return to an honorable and worthy mantra of "preparing the next generation to lead" instead of pontificating that "the world owes them a living." How will these graduates of "Higher Education" cope in a highly competitive global community of peers that have been properly prepared to think, work and compete?
And how will we reach the millennials and younger populace that know and care more about the Kardashian's, Justin Bieber and finding Pokemon Go than pursuing solutions that will better their station in life, now and going forward?
And how will we adjust to a society that now forms opinions from 140 character Tweets and how will we hold those "in charge" accountable in a culture of corruption that has obviously run amuck?
How will we begin the process of healing this nation? Who will stand in the gap to help re-connect the disenchanted and the disenfranchised? Who will lead the campaign to re-educate those that have been "held-back" by our liberal institutions and misled by extremely biased media outlets that have surrendered their former credentials of being above reproach in exchange for a few pieces of silver?
How will we approach the great divide between two parties that desperately must find a way to begin communicating with each other again – logically and honestly?
When folks of privilege are not held accountable, fired, impeached or imprisoned for corrupt and illegal behavior – how will we explain and teach the next generation the difference between right and wrong – how to lead and make wise decisions? How will they reconcile the consequences associated with decisions we've made or actions we've allowed to be taken?
These are but a few of the challenges WE THE PEOPLE can and must, begin to address while our next Commander-in-Chief tackles their list.
These are the things that keep me up at night. These are but a handful of the 'bigger tasks' that you and I can begin to address - with the hope - that given time, patience, persistence and God's Grace and favor - we will look back and take great pride in the energy expended and progress made.

After a long day of tough competitive bowling it was the Greater Manchester Pair of Cathy and Graeme Wilson won the BCGBA Mel Evans MBE Centenary Mixed Pairs.
The finals day was held at the famous Waterloo Hotel in Blackpool last Saturday (1st October). The finals day saw some of the best mixed pairs partnerships gather from the four corners of the crown green world.
The competition is sponsored by Mel Evans MBE, the BCGBA Commercial Officer, who was sadly unable to attend. Mel was represented on the day by his partner, Lynn Pritchatt and daughter Jenny Norton.
The final was an all Greater Manchester battle as Karen Hughes and Bradley Cooke took on Cathy and Graeme Wilson. Neither pair had a comfortable route to the final as both had huge battles in the semi-finals. Karen and Bradley faced the formidable pairing of Jackie and Stuart Rutter and Cathy and Graeme faced the reigning champions Andrea Buckley and Michael Sweeney.
Both games were fantastic to watch and they just about had it all. Both finalists were behind in the games and it was by a fine margin that they both got through to the final.
The final itself was a brilliant game. Cathy and Graeme seemed to be close to pulling clear but Karen and Bradley were both in superb form to keep in touch. The turning point looked to be a brave bowl by Cathy Wilson going wrong as she tried to couple up. This led to Bradley taking charge of the game and turning a 14-10 deficit into a 17-14 lead.
Typical classy bowls from Graeme got them back in control of the jack and they looked to count a full house, playing away from the shop corner, to go 20-18 up. This was before a breath-taking last bowl from Karen which sat on Graeme’s six-inch lead bowl.
Bradley led out the next end knowing two more points meant game but they couldn’t do anything about a fantastic bowl from Graeme to claim the end and make it 17-19. The next end was decided by Graeme’s awesome lead bowl which ended up, closely, surrounded by Bradley and Karen’s bowls.
Now at 18-19 Graeme changed tactics and went along the south stand edge of this famous green. Graeme again led well but Bradley put both his bowls behind the jack and he encouraged Karen to play up for the jack and game. Cathy had to play good defensive bowls but Karen still had a chance. As Graeme and Cathy lay two to go 20-19 up Karen’s last bowl seemed to be taking the jack through for game but just straightened and took out Graeme’s closest instead. This meant Cathy’s excellent last bowl claimed a single point to make it a level game.
Graeme took the jack and went on a horribly precise mark back on the edge towards the pub corner. You have to reach and it is unforgiving if you are off the land. Graeme played two good bowls and put all the pressure on their Greater Manchester compatriots. Neither Karen or Bradley could challenge Graeme’s bowls, thanks again to excellent defending bowls from Cathy. Cathy and Graeme added this trophy to the list of top class pairs competitions they have won.
The trophy was presented by BCGBA President in 2015, Barry Massey and Lynn Pritchatt and Jenny Norton.
After the presentation Lynn released a statement on Facebook which, with her permission, I have reproduced here.
Jenny and I were very proud to represent Mel Evans MBE and to present the trophy at the BCGBA Mel Evans MBE Centenary Mixed Pairs. It was the first time I had seen a bowling green for many months and it was very difficult to be at The Waterloo without Mel. Both Jenny and I were humbled by the very warm welcome we received from some of our friends who we saw there. The love and support shown to Mel and I is evident and is so very much appreciated far more than words can say. Well done to Cathy and Graeme Wilson on their victory. I am sure the BCGBA Mel Evans MBE Centenary Mixed Pairs will be around for many years to come.
It was fitting that this fantastic competition brought the curtain down on another very successful season both for the Waterloo and the BCGBA. This season we have been very fortunate to see so many fantastic competitions and also to have them broadcast around the world. Hopefully 2017 will be even better.

What is meant by TENS?
TENS is an acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator. It is a non-pharmacological mode of treatment that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain alleviation. It is the utilization of electric current delivered by a gadget to stimulate the nerves for restorative purposes.
TENS, by definition, covers the complete scope of transcutaneous connected streams utilized for nerve excitation in spite of the fact that the term is frequently utilized with a more prohibitive aim, to be specific to portray the sort of pulses created by compact stimulators used to treat pain.
Common Uses of TENS
It is most commonly used in the conditions of
- Chronic pain (back aches)
- Osteoarthritis mainly of knee joint
- Sports injuries
- Neck pain
- In Acute pains (labor pains and after surgery)
- Neuropathies (Diabetic Neuropathy)
- Phantom limb pains
- Cancer pain
- Tension related headaches
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Soft tissue injuries
- Muscle strains
- Ligament sprains
- Menstrual pains
How to use TENS?
TENS is a little, battery-controlled machine about the extent of a pocket radio. For the most part, you associate two terminals (wires that direct electrical current) from the machine to your skin. The electrodes are frequently set on the zone of pain or at pressure points, making a circuit of electrical impulses that goes along nerve fibers.
You can set the TENS machine for diverse wavelength frequencies, for example, an unfaltering stream of electrical current or a burst of electrical current, and for intensity of electrical current. Your physical therapist or physician more often decides these settings.
Benefits of TENS
It is believed that TENS has following benefits:
- It helps in relieving pain at both sensory levels (By blocking pain gates following the pain gate theory) and motor level (by releasing body’s natural opiates endorphins and enkephalins)
- Improves circulation
- Facilitates healing
- Decreases the use of other analgesics and pain relieving drugs
- Increases range of motion
- Improves functioning in activities of daily living
- Improves pattern of sleep
- Does not interfere in labor
- No lasting side effects
- Easy to purchase
- Noninvasive treatment
- Blocks nociceptive stimulus reaching at spinal cord and higher brain centers
- Produces body’s natural pain killers
- Reduces muscle spasms
Limitations of TENS
TENS are considered to be limited in the conditions
- When you have pacemaker implanted in your body
- Any electrical device fitted
- In pregnancy (except labor pains)
- In epilepsy
- In cardiac problems
- Broken skin
- Varicose veins
- Allergic reactions or scarring in area of skin where electrodes were placed
- During operating or driving a machine
- While taking shower or baths
- Near eyes or mouth
- In Alzheimer’s disease
- In dementia or other cognitive problems
Controversies of TENS
Controversy exists as to its adequacy in the treatment of ceaseless pain; various systematic reviews or meta-examinations have affirmed its viability for postoperative pains, osteoarthritis, and interminable musculoskeletal torment.
On the other hand, results from the Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010 Task Force on Neck Pain, reported in mid-2008, demonstrated no clinically critical advantage to TENS for the treatment of neck agony when contrasted with sham treatment.

Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel
- Just booked 10 nights at Polynesian, Aug 2014 for me, DH and 2 DD (7 & 10) with dining plan. Want to eat at Hoop Dee Doo, Ohana's, Boma, Mama Melrose, Teppan Edo and San Angel. Looking for suggestions for the other 3 table service meals for dinners.
- - Asked by Paula from Ontario on 11/2/2013
- Hi Paula,
Sounds like a fun and delicious vacation you've got planned! I wish I could come along.
I have several fun suggestions for great meals. I'm not sure if you park hopper passes, so I'll give you a few more than three options just in case.
- Whispering Canyon Cafe is one of our family favorites. Yes, the vibe is similar to that at 'Ohana, but the experience is different enough that you might enjoy it.
- Be Our Guest is a gorgeous restaurant. If you haven't seen Beast's Castle it's certainly worth a meal there.
- 50's Prime Time Cafe is one of those places that my kids love, and the PB&J Shakes are awesome.
- I noticed you don't have a character meal on here. Even my older kids think they are fun. Garden Grill in Epcot has delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere. It's not nearly as chaotic as some of the other character meals. If character meals aren't your favorite, try Coral Reef.
- Liberty Tree Tavern is always a great diversion as well, although Thanksgiving food in August might not be your first choice.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!

I don’t drink, smoke, nor party matter fact i don’t anything at all besides sit in the house. last year i had a child and gained some weight which is affecting me as well i feel ashamad of how i look and all. The father of my child has been in my life going on 8 years now and we are drifting apart. I no longer know what to do, i never felt so useless! I have his child why should he have a change of heart now? Im living with my mother and i know she tired of taking care of me, its like I just expect a job to come to me instead of me going out looking for one, what’s wrong with me? i don’t want to do a thing so aint i pretty much wasting my time being here?? Everynight I watch my child as she sleeps and i cry not just for me but for her because i have nothing to offer her, im a high school drop out who don’t want to do a thing. Its crazy how 2 years ago i was in love, working making my own money and enjoying life then a baby come in i lose everything!!

When I look at the Beatitudes, I have to check my attitudes, to see if I’m in step with God, or just putting on a “Christian” façade.
Am I spiritually poor without Christ? Do I mourn for my sin? Do I realize my daily need for him?
Is my meekness really God’s strength under control? Will I hunger and thirst for righteousness in order to be whole?
Does the forgiveness and mercy I extend along the way mirror the grace he gave when my debts he died to pay?
Is my heart pure and transparent so that others may see, it’s not me in control but Christ living in me?
Do I strive for peace when problems arise, not “at any cost,” but only through God’s eyes?
Will I be persecuted for my faith in Christ? Should I let my cheek be struck not once but twice?
Oh, when this happens I will rejoice and be glad! For then will I see the victory he’s had, as I proclaim God’s Word to a fallen world and watch his glory be unfurled!

Minibio: My name is Sinead Rivka, and I stared writing fanfiction in the Beast Wars series back when I was 11. And yes, some of the stuff on here dates close to that age. I don't take it down because I'm sentimental like that. Thank God for early beginnings because otherwise, I wouldn't have learned how to write properly! If you don't like my stories, well, that's your opinion, and you're certainly entitled to it. I don't claim to put all my best work on here, and I certainly don't claim to be the best writer. I write for fun, plain and simple, but I am happy that readers enjoy my work.
Whenever I'm not writing or doing artsy stuff, I'm usually found sitting in a classroom, working as a graphic designer, reading, trying to watch shows, or singing.

Virtual open houses, digital closings, conversations from behind face masks — what productivity looks like for real estate agents this summer covers new terrain for all of us. All June, Inman surveys the New Productivity: the tools, skills and insights needed to make it work now.
Onboarding new agents and staff is essential for running a successful real estate team. Training provides agents the time to learn your systems, best practices and fully understand each other’s roles and responsibilities.
Implementing an onboarding program will not only increase productivity, but also generate great agent habits and work ethic from the very beginning. We’ve outlined key benefits and tips for a successful team onboarding.
The 30-day plan
Putting together an onboarding program specific to your team will help new members feel a sense of structure during the overwhelming period of starting a new job. Creating a 30-day plan will allow time to successfully learn the role, understand the team culture, future goals and expectations.
Take time to outline a schedule for the new member, especially in the first few weeks. The first two weeks should be structured for learning main systems, technology, the business plan and ins and outs of the role.
We recommend appointing a team mentor for one-on-one check-ins. That person could also serve as a go-to source for any questions new agents might have while learning the ropes of the job. Also, make sure to set aside time for the new member to meet with people in your organization who can provide further training support in marketing, social media, IT and more.
It’s also important to create a plan that evolves with your business. We initially created an onboarding “manual” with key processes and business information. We quickly learned that this item was extremely valuable for all members of our team, so since then, we’ve kept it up to date in real time for better overall structure and operations.
All to say, creating a dedicated onboarding program for new employees will provide the foundation needed to thrive as a whole.
When an individual joins our team, it’s crucial for them to fully comprehend our team structure and be trained across all areas of the business. If a member of our team is sick or is taking a well-deserved vacation, cross-training allows for another member to successfully step in and handle another agent’s duties.
Even if it’s not a part of their daily tasks, when onboarding an agent, provide a comprehensive overview and 101 on general business practices.
For example, every member of our team has a general knowledge of contracts. They can also manage all internal systems and programs, execute marketing and social media and know how to do a property showing and open house. Cross-training is essential for our business and allows us all to be agile and fluid.
Ensuring the perfect fit
Onboarding can also serve as a trial to see if a new member is both a professional and cultural team fit. During our training process, we can quickly determine if a new member has a similar work ethic to the rest of the team as well as the level of experience and local market knowledge necessary.
A big mistake teams make is hiring staff that don’t meet these general qualities and failing to train them up to your team’s standards. Another oversight we see is when teams hire friends or bring in interns. This isn’t always in the best interest of your team or long-term business. An inexperienced person can make costly mistakes.
It’s important to remember each person you hire is a representation of your team. Make sure they are trained in all the aspects that make your team successful.
Post-onboarding, a big blunder teams make is losing the connection and foundation they worked so hard to build at the start. As the team transitions, make sure to maintain team structure and communication. Keeping each team member in the loop will serve well in each step — from the launch of a listing all the way to closing.
We do this by ensuring all members are cc’d on every email. We’ve also created a text message group where we communicate all day long. Rather than relying on emails, encourage your team to reach out with a quick call, text or by using an instant messaging platform like Slack. This allows for constant and more efficient communication.
Encouraging an open communication stream from the start leads to less mistakes and quality control.

For most men, the thought of wearing the clothes that appear on models in runway shows is a laughable topic. Even men that are interested in fashion routinely cringe at some of the ugly designs that manage to make it to the stage. The good side of male fashion collections is that they usually identify the next trends and even though the designer clothes may not be wearable for most men due to budget or other concerns, it can give the average man an idea about which styles will be hot for the next season.

Creativity and innovation are the concepts that inspire 080 Barcelona Fashion,
without forgetting the importance of the market and the need to give fashion a commercial outlet.

Students, graduating fashion design in Britain, opened Graduate Fashion Week in London, which will continue until Wednesday night.

Fashion and creation are, once again, the main themes of a new edition of CIBELES MADRID FASHION, the great platform for the promotion and dissemination of design in Spain, organised by IFEMA, which is celebrating its fifty-first edition from 18 to 23 February at Feria de Madrid.
On this occasion, the main showcase for Spanish creation involves 51 designers who, with their diverse stylistic proposals, will evidence the creative heterogeneousness of fashion in our country. They will be joined by almost 30 young designers who will be showing their collections in the EL EGO showroom, a space with direct retail sales for the whole time that CIBELES MADRID FASHION WEEK is on.
A mixture of frivolously dressed girls like rebellions and elegant brides were seen by the audience during the AltaRoma fashion week in Rome, Italy.
The designer Abed Mahfouz from Lebanon presented romantic models for brides in white and formal dresses in turquoise nuances.
The Italian couturier Fausto Sarli also presented bridal gowns. He amazed the audience with the clean line and unusual accents in the dresses for the most special day in the life of every young woman.
The name of Maria Lafuente's collection is TAU. Putting up folds reminds the cheerful intimacy of movement.
The inspiration emerges through the Boschs genius and his painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights".
An allegory of the origin and and of the world.
The Creation of the vegetables world (origin of life).
The complete Creation, the hell and the most diverse forms of sensuality.
The dreamworld component is very outstanding. The fantasy, the humor, the harsh critic. The incarnations of sensuality are dazzling in its diversity.
