Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival
A day out in Newmarket
PUBLISHED: 01:38 26 March 2012 | UPDATED: 21:13 20 February 2013
Places to stay, things to do in East Anglia's horseracing capital
Newmarket is best-known for two things its horseracing and its royal connections.
The town has been associated with royalty since the 17th century, and in particular with King Charles II, a keen racing enthusiast and rider, who loved the town and its equine attractions so much that he built a house there for himself in the 17th century. Much of Charles grand Palace House no longer exists but the remaining south west pavilion was restored and refurbished at the end of last century and its fine surroundings are used today for meetings, conferences, wedding and exhibitions.
Hundreds of years down the line, Newmarket has kept its royal links and even today the Queen, herself a keen horsewoman and racing enthusiast, is a frequent visitor to the town.
If you are a racing enthusiast visiting Newmarket, make sure you dont miss The National Horseracing Museum, which offers a fantastic history of the town and fascinating stories about the famous jockeys of the day and Newmarkets royal associations. One interesting, if gruesome, display contains information about famous 19th century jockey Fred Archer, who tragically committed suicide, along with the gun he used
The centrepiece of the town, of course, are the famous racecourses to which people flock from miles around to gamble and enjoy the excitement of race days. Why not visit the racecourse on May 5 and 6 to celebrate the Guinness Festival? Or if you want something a little more charitable, Newmarket hosts a St Nicholas Hospice Charity Race night event on May 17.
If you prefer music to mares you can still enjoy an evening at the races. Newmarket Nights have become popular summer events offering an evening of racing followed by a pop concert. Madness, McFly and Steps are just some of the acts lined up for this summer.
Visitors to the museum can put on silks and learn how fit jockeys have to be to win races by riding the mechanical racehorse simulator.
The towns two racecourses lie on an area of chalk grassland known as Newmarket Heath, an officially protected Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Britains annual jockeys awards are known as The Lesters in Lester Piggots honour. He still lives in Newmarket!
The Rowley Mile racecourse is named after Charles IIs favourite horse Old Rowley
The size of a horses heart grows until the animal is four years old and is believed to have a relation to its ability to run fast.

Marvel Shares New Details About All-New Ant-Man Relaunch
Jake AbbateMonday, November 04, 2019
Rumor has it that Scott Lang will team up with his daughter, Cassie, when Ant-Man 3 hits the big screen in a few years. But fortunately, comic fans won’t have to wait that long to catch this father-daughter duo fighting side by side. Marvel will relaunch a new ongoing Ant-Man series next year. And while Scott’s costumed persona is getting sole billing, it sounds like he and Cassie will share the spotlight.
The new series was first announced at MCM Comic Con in London last week. Writer Zeb Wells and artist Dylan Burnett have been tasked with spinning new pint-sized tales in the coming year. Wells has tackled Marvel’s The Amazing Spider-Man and Nova series in the past. Meanwhile, Burnett is known for his work on X-Force and Cosmic Ghost Rider. It may not be easy to follow Nick Spencer’s most recent run on The Astonishing Ant-Man. But according to Wells himself, readers should expect to see something fresh.

“Dylan Burnett, Mike Spicer and I are out to put the ant in Ant-Man, turn over some rocks and craft a bug-forward tale that starts small and spins into a world-spanning adventure,” said Wells in a statement. “And you know Stinger (Cassie Lang) is coming along for the ride.”
The inaugural storyline finds Scott facing an existential crisis. With this, he accepts a job with local beekeepers that quickly leads to the discovery of a mysterious “global conspiracy.” Whatever it is, it compels Scott to enlist help from Cassie, who once again dons the mantle of Stinger. Apparently, there will be guest appearances by other Marvel heroes as well.
Ant-Man #1 will hit comic book stores in February 2020. You can check out Eduard Petrovich’s cover for the first issue below.
Will you be adding the new series to your pull list? Let us know in the comment section!

Interested In Becoming A Helicopter Pilot?
It’s often said that the best office is a cockpit. Being a helicopter pilot comes with stunning views, incredible freedom and adrenaline-pumping adventure. Taking a machine into the sky is thrilling and sometimes life-altering. It’s no wonder there is an exploding demand for pilots starting in 2020.
From 2020 to 2036, the demand for helicopter pilots is expected to soar, leaving shortages of upwards of 49,000 pilots, according to major aviation companies like Boeing and Airbus. But why?
It’s because the need for pilots worldwide is increasing, yet there are few FAA approved schools training helicopter pilots. At the same time many pilots are retiring further aggravating the shortage.
This might be one of the greatest opportunities to become a pilot since helicopters were invented. But what does it take to become a pilot?

What Makes SUU Aviation Unique?
Veteran Friendly
We’re one of the only flight schools in the nation to accept Post 9/11 GI Benefits. For eligible veterans that means your flight fees and tuition can be fully covered. Most of our veterans pay less than $1k out of pocket for the program.
Superior Training
At 5,622 feet above sea level we’re the highest altitude university flight school in the nation. You’ll fly in a wide variety of terrain and weather conditions. You’ll have experience in almost any real-world scenario. As part of your standard training you'll receive night vision, advanced mountain operations, long line and turbine training.
Biggest Collegiate Helicopter Fleet
With SUU Aviation you’ll fly in the biggest helicopter fleet in the nation. You’ll fly in Robinson R44 Cadets, R44 Raven II’s, as well as Bell 206's, made with a Rolls Royce turbine engine.
Details About Our Helicopter Flight Training
Our rotor wing (helicopter) program is a five semester program that takes under two years to complete. With previous certifications it can be completed sooner. You’ll start to fly helicopters typically within the first two weeks of beginning the program.
You’ll fly in real helicopters regularly because we believe you need to learn from the cockpit, not just the classroom.
To prepare you for flight we’ll teach you everything there is to know about helicopter safety, and each semester you’ll have a personal instructor who flies with you and acts as a tutor for your ground classes.
We use state of the art equipment in our flight school, such as our Frasca simulators. You’ll sit in a helicopter cockpit replica, with a 180-degree view and real-world maps and terrain. With the Frasca's map technology you can simulate flight in literally any location in the world
Want to come for a visit? You'll see our fleet, facilities and meet the SUU Aviation Team.

Helicopter Flight School: What You’ll Learn
It’s important to know what you’ll learn before investing in aviation school. Here’s what you’ll learn in our Helicopter flight school:
How to Fly Solo
We’ll teach you how to fly a helicopter all by yourself. We’ll show you everything you need to know step-by-step until you’re confident and ready to fly. We can get you flying in as little as one month but you’ll spend hours flying with an instructor and in the simulator before you ever fly solo.
Commercial Helicopter Flight
If you want to get paid to fly or carry passengers then you’ll need to gain your commercial helicopter certification. Flying with passengers comes with extra responsibilities so we’ll help you hone your skills until you’re confident enough to fly your own grandmother in the back seat.
It’s important to prepare for emergencies before they happen. We’ll walk you through every possible emergency and teach you the corresponding procedure until it’s second nature. For example, you’ll learn how manage a simulated engine failure -- in a real helicopter.
Helicopter Instrument Flight
Having a Helicopter Instrument Certification means you know how to fly in limited or no visibility using only the instruments in the cockpit. For example, you can fly through clouds. Without instrument training you'll miss out on most helicopter pilot jobs so we give you all the training you need.
Flight Instruction
You’ll earn a certified flight instructor (CFI) rating in our aviation school. A certified flight instructor is a person who flies in the cockpit with students and gives personal instruction. When you become a certified flight instructor you can get hired to teach students.
Helicopter Instrument Instruction
In our flight school you’ll earn a certified flight instructor in instrument (CFII) rating. This means you’ll be certified to teach helicopter instrument flight. An instrument rating means you’re certified to operate a helicopter using only the instruments in the cockpit.
Helicopter Pilot Salary
You’re probably wondering how much money a helicopter pilot makes. As of October, 2018 the average salary for helicopter pilots in the United States is around $93,000. According to Salary.com, the average helicopter pilot salary ranges between $79,000 and $120,000. These prices will likely rise because demand for pilots is increasing.
Boeing released a report in October 2018 projecting a massive pilot shortage. They predict the demand for pilots in will dramatically increase between 2020 and 2036, reaching a demand of 49,000 pilots worldwide. During the next 18 years in the United States industry professionals like Helicopter Association International (HAI) predict there will be a helicopter pilot shortage between 2,200 and 7,600 pilots. That's between a 15% and 50% growth of the current industry!
This is good news for future helicopter pilots, because as demand for pilots increases, so will salaries, benefits, and job opportunities. This is the perfect time to become a helicopter pilot.
Apply now while you’re thinking about it. It takes less than 10 minutes.
Special Funding For Veterans
Veterans, because of your service to our nation you have an incredible funding option through the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This bill can cover up to the full cost of your flight fees and tuition. Most of our veteran students qualify for full funding of our program.
Additionally, you may qualify for Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) while you attend our program, meaning while you’re here your housing costs could be covered. Most of our veterans qualify for BAH while in our program.
All in all, veterans usually pay very little for our helicopter training and SUU Aviation is one of the only flight schools to accept full Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits.
Helicopter Flight Courses
Here’s a quick list of available courses in our aviation program:
PILT 1145 Solo Pilot
PILT 1155 Private Pilot Certification

It takes 30 seconds. We’ll tell you about aviation scholarships, give you industry information and answer any questions about helicopter flight training you have.
Or contact us to come take a tour.
Can my Veteran Benefit pay for the private lab?
What degree options do I have?
You can pursue an associate’s, bachelor’s or even master’s degree at SUU. To name a few, the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS), Bachelor's Degree in General Studies (BSGS), and Bachelor of Aviation Science.
Are there height or weight restrictions?
Certain aircraft do have weight restrictions. Generally the lighter you are the cheaper your flight training will cost because it’s more affordable to fly in a lighter aircraft. Contact us to get specific info.
Can I access FAFSA Financial Aid?
Yes! Funding depends on your eligibility so check with our financial aid department finaid@suu.edu or 435-586-7735
How much money do helicopter pilots make on average?
$93,000 not including benefits. Chief helicopter pilot salaries average between $134,177 and $189,842.
Source: salary.com
Are there many helicopter pilot jobs available?
Yes, a lot and there are more coming. We’re placing more than 95% of our pilots in helicopter jobs. We’ll share job postings with you and opportunities through our partnerships in China and Korea.
What do I need to qualify for your program?
If you’re interested in attending you need to be admitted to Southern Utah University. It only takes about ten minutes to apply and most applicants qualify. Flight slots can fill quickly so you may be given additional requirements if you wait to apply after the semester is filled. You also need to pass the FAA Medical Exam.
If I wear Glasses can I fly?
Yes! As long as your vision is correctable to 20/20 and you can pass the medical exam you are good to fly.
Are there any age requirements?
The FAA does have a minimum age requirement to fly but no maximum. You must be at least 16 years old to start training and 17 to receive a certificate. So long as you can pass the FAA Medical exam, we deem you fit to fly!
What does it take to pass the FAA medical exam?
There are quite a few specifics. It's best if you read up on the medical exam requirements.
I’m afraid of heights. Will that stop me from flying?
Plenty of pilots are afraid of heights, including one of our own chief pilots.
Flying is different because you’re in the safety of the cockpit and you don’t feel the altitude. We like to compare it to driving down the freeway at 80 mph vs riding a bicycle at 80 mph. Riding a bicycle would be terrifying but in the safety of a car, you’re not afraid of the speed.
Height and altitude work similarly in a helicopter.
How long is your program?
Two years, but it can be completed sooner in special cases.
To veterans, practically nothing. Get pricing details.
Why should I move to Cedar City, Utah?
It’s one of the beautiful and most affordable places to live in the country, and it’s the best place to fly. If you can fly in Cedar City you can fly anywhere because you experience the full spectrum of weather and terrain conditions.
Cedar City is located next to three world-famous national parks: the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canon. In the winter there’s plenty of snowboarding and skiing in Utah’s world-renowned powder snow, and just an hour to the south you can escape to the desert for year-round hiking. During the summer there’s excellent hiking and camping locations, as well as fishing, mountain biking, rock climbing, boating, and just about any outdoor activity you could think of.
We won the national title for “Most Outdoorsy School in the Nation.” There’s plenty to do in Cedar City besides just flying.
How soon can I get started?
We have three semesters year-round: fall, spring and summer.
Fall semester begins the fourth week of August.
Spring semester starts the first week of January.
Summer semester starts in May.
Some students enroll after the semester begins. It’s possible to catch up so contact us if you’re wanting to start right away.

A Scottish Government minister has visited the University of Stirling to hear about its work on ageing and dementia.
Christina McKelvie MSP, Scottish Government Minister for Older People and Equalities, heard about proposals for an intergenerational village and was given an overview of the University-led Healthy Ageing in Scotland (HAGIS) project – the first Scottish longitudinal study of older people.
The minister, who was welcomed to the campus by Deputy Principal (Research) Professor Judith Phillips, was also given a tour of the University’s Design & Technology Suite - which showcases the principles of dementia-friendly design - as part of her visit to the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) today.
The University is a leading centre of expertise in ageing and dementia research, with researchers working closely with policymakers and practitioners to develop cutting-edge solutions to encourage independence and wellbeing in older age.
It has developed plans for an Intergenerational Living Innovation Hub, acting as a test-bed for the latest technological, health and social care, architectural, and streetscape solutions to living well in older age. It will also enable communities to live together in a way that provides benefit and support to all.
Working with industry and policymakers, we are developing innovative solutions that are enabling older people to live independent lives, for longer.
Professor Judith Phillips Deputy Principal (Research)
Other innovations at the University include the award-winning Iridis app, developed by DSDC in collaboration with Space Group to offer expert guidance on dementia design at the touch of a button. App users can assess both new and existing buildings to understand the impact of the environment – such as layout and internal finish – on people with dementia, allowing those with age-related impairments to enjoy a greater quality of life and remain independent for longer.
Ms McKelvie said: “I was delighted to visit the University of Stirling to find out more about its important work on dementia and healthy ageing.
“These are high priority policy areas for the Scottish Government as we seek to look at the opportunities and challenges around the ageing population.
“We continue to work with national and local partners to implement our third National Dementia Strategy; and our first Older People’s Framework will be published in the spring.”
Professor Phillips said: “University of Stirling researchers are spearheading efforts to better understand ageing and dementia.
“Our plans for an Intergenerational Living Innovation Hub will build on this track record, positioning Scotland at the forefront of cutting-edge research on design and services for older people.”

E4 to Air BATWOMAN and HARLEY QUINN
In some great news for UK audiences, the Ruby Rose-headlined Batwoman and the animated Harley Quinn have now finally been given a UK home.
Despite Batwoman existing within the shared realm of The CW’s Arrowverse, Sky One has previously confirmed how the series will not be joining Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow on the channel. And now, it’s been confirmed that both Batwoman and Harley Quinn will start airing on E4 at a to-be-confirmed date later this year.
The official word on Batwoman reads:
Ruby Rose stars as Kate Kane, the first openly gay female lead of a live-action Super Hero show. Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is in despair, overrun by criminal gangs. Kate returns home when the Alice in Wonderland gang target her father Jacob (Dougray Scott – Mission: Impossible 2) and his security firm. In order to help her family and her city, she’ll have to become the one thing her father loathes – a dark knight vigilante. With the help of her stepsister Mary (Nicole Kang – You, The Code, Swallow) and crafty Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson – The Sun is Also a Star, Luke Cage), Kate continues the legacy of her missing cousin Bruce Wayne, while combatting the dark machinations of the psychotic Alice (Rachel Skarsten – Reign, Birds of Prey, Imposters). Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, she soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence.
As for the Kaley Cuoco-fronted Harley Quinn, that official blurb for that show reads:
With awesome battles and crazy fights, wisecracking Harley, voiced by Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory, 8 Simple Rules) is out of control and on a mission to make it as the criminal Queenpin of Gotham City, after having finally broken things off once and for all with the Joker. Harley is aided by Poison Ivy (Lake Bell – BoJack Horseman, Wet Hot American Summer) and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, as she tries to earn a seat at the biggest table in villainy: the Legion of Doom!
Expect to hear more on both of these shows once E4 announces premiere dates for the two of these new series.

Atelier Totori’s Young Swordsman Is All Grown Up In Atelier Meruru
By Siliconera Staff May 30, 2011
The third game in the Arland trilogy, stars Meruru, a princess and a new apprentice alchemist. Totori from Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland is her tutor. Atelier Meruru begins with Meruru sneaking out of the Castle of Earls and into Totori’s workshop. After making a mess in Totori’s laboratory, the group goes on a material hunt where Rufus finds Meruru.
You’ll meet Gino, one of Totori’s close friends, in Atelier Totori first where he is a young boy who dreamt of adventuring the world.
In Atelier Meruru, Gino is all grown up and continues to fight to enhance his strength.
Now 20, Gino reunites with Totori as a powerful playable character. Unlike other characters, Meruru’s royal status doesn’t make Gino bashfully hold back.
One of his battle techniques is "Hailstorm."
Filly also comes from Atelier Totori and she’s a little less shy than she was before.
She looks similar, but the reserved receptionist’s role changed from game to game. In Atelier Totori, Filly was a friend, she plays a big sister role in Atelier Meruru.
Created by Astrid, the two homunculi Hom and Hum, return from Atelier Rorona. They’re in charge of taking care of little Rorona. Bit by bit, these two artificial life forms begin expressing more human emotions.
Dessie is the King of Earls and Meruru’s overprotective father. When he was young, he went on an adventure with his friends.
When Rufus brings Meruru back to the castle, she tells her father her dream of becoming an alchemist. Dessie refuses and Meruru runs out of the castle again. In the game, Rufus will be your point of contact, not Dessie. Resolving differences between Meruru and her father seems to be a key point in this game’s story.
Atelier Meruru comes out on June 23 in two packages – a standalone game and a premium box with another crystal paperweight.

Creating human connections in a digital world
Learn how Sitecore began, as well as the strategic, technical, and business decisions that paved the way for our market-leading content management system and digital experience platform.
Five friends and a bold new vision
A strategic path to international expansion
Web content management is dead
Sitecore today
Birthed from a bold vision at the turn of century, Sitecore’s content management system and digital experience platform was developed to empower marketers to deliver memorable and personalized online experiences – no developers required.
In 1998, five friends – Thomas Albert, Jakob Christensen, Peter Christensen, Ole Thrane, and Michael Seifert – founded Pentia A/S, a systems integration company focused on implementing websites built with Microsoft technologies. Thrane, after developing one website after another, decided to write a script to automate aspects of the process. He didn’t know it then, but he had just written Sitecore’s first code.
While implementing websites, the team began to imagine a better future for digital marketers: What if marketers could deliver meaningful and engaging online brand experiences without leaning on developers? The next year, they released the first version of Sitecore – a new way to manage digital content. In 2001, the Sitecore Corporation was founded, with Seifert as the CEO, and Sitecore began taking the content management system (CMS) market by storm.
Sitecore opened offices in Copenhagen and Ukraine in 2002. But it was Sitecore’s early expansion into the US that set us apart from other Danish technology companies.
Since Sitecore’s inception, all software and documentation has been written in English. Thanks in large part to this intentional and strategic decision, Sitecore was able to expand to the US in 2004, the UK in 2005, and Australia in 2007.
The use of English wasn’t the only strategic decision Sitecore made early on. When we began, most of the major internet players were delivering content through static HTML pages. Led by a team of developers, Sitecore delivered dynamic pages and content from the start. We didn’t know it at the time, but this decision prepared the way for Sitecore to become the premier digital experience platform it is today.
At least, that’s what Siefert told Sitecore’s board in 2006. While Sitecore was a leader in the CMS market, Siefert was no longer satisfied simply making a “typewriter for the web.”
After many discussions, the team came up with a new plan.
Many companies were using social media to communicate with their customers and prospects, discovering the importance of marketing analytics, and beginning to implement automation. But these systems were separate from their websites and often hard to integrate. Sitecore would combine them all.
There was only one problem. Sitecore didn’t have the money to do what most corporations do when they decide to expand services – acquire other companies. If Sitecore was going to provide these services, there was one route forward: build a connected platform from the ground up.
It wasn’t easy, and many thought we were crazy for trying, but two years later, the team launched the first iteration of Sitecore’s digital experience platform. The platform created a central repository of information for each web visitor, which could be used to create and deliver personalized digital experiences. The foundation was laid for the Sitecore® Experience Platform™ of today.
As Sitecore’s technology expanded, so did our global presence. Following the opening of Australian offices in 2007, we opened offices in the Netherlands and Sweden in 2008, Japan in 2009, Canada and Germany in 2010, Singapore and France in 2012, Belgium, Malaysia, China, and Indonesia in 2015, Hong Kong in 2016, and the Middle East and India in 2017.
Today, Sitecore is leading the way in martech innovation — receiving an array of awards, market-leadership recognition from top analyst firms, and numerous recommendations from clients spanning industries, business models, and locations. Sitecore is helping marketing teams around the world own the experiences they create for their customers, constituents, and supporters.

AP TS 30th January, every year, two minutes silence is observed at 11.00 A.M. throughout the country, in the memory of those who gave their lives in the struggle of India's freedom 30th January every year Two minutes silence is observed struggle for India's Freedom as per Rc. No 42, Dated:19/01/2018.
Observance of Silence on 30th January 2018 in memory of those who gave their lives in the struggle for India's Freedom as per Rc. No 42,Dated.19/01/2018.
From the Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi, No. 02/12/2017-Public, dated: 04/01/2018, received on 18/01/2018.
It is to inform that the 30th January, every year, two minutes silence is observed at 11.00 A.M. throughout the country, in the memory of those who gave their lives in the struggle of India's freedom. The following Standing instructions have been laid down for observance of the day:
Silence should be observed and work and movement stopped for two minutes through the country at 11.00 A.M. on 30" January, every year.Wherever available, the commencement and termination of the two minutes' silence period should be indicated by sound of siren or Army guns. Sirens should be sounded from 10:59 hrs till 11:00 hrs and after two minutes, all clear sirens should again be sounded from 1.02 hours till 11:03 hours.This procedure may be adopted where sirens exist.
On hearing the signal (wherever available), all persons would stand up and observe the silence. It would be more effective if people could gather at one place for observing the silence instead of each person standing in his room or at any other place. However, effort need not be made to assemble
at one place if it involves serious dislocation of work.
At places where no signal system is available, suitable instructions can be passed on to all concerned for observing the silence for two minutes at 11:00 A.M.
It is further informed that in the past, it has been observed that while two minutes' silence is observed in some offices, the general public goes about its occupation in the ordinary course, unmindful of the solemnity of the occasion.
The Departments/Organisations noted in the address entry are requested to take necessary steps to ensure that the Martyrs'Day is observed with due solemnity and with better public participation. For this, they are requested to ensure the following:
Instructions be issued to all educational institutions in the State and Public Sector Enterprises under their control for observance of the Martyrs'Day with full solemnity and in a befitting manner. Speeches and talks connected with the significance of the day, particularly mentioning the role of freedom fighters in the freedom of India may be made. The themes of talks and speeches could also deal with the duty and the moral obligation of every citizen to preserve, protect and enrich the hard-earned freedom and to promote a sense of national integration and commitment to common goals and ideals.
Field publicity units of the Departments are requested to hold programmes and/or films/documentaries with the basic themes of Indian Freedom Movement, the role of the martyrs in the Freedom Struggle and national integration.
Various chambers of Commerce and Industry in the State may also he requested to ensure proper observance of the Martyrs' Day by their members and affiliated associations and organisations.

EAP, LEAP, PEAP and EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS
Once the popularity of WiFi started to take off in the early 2000s, a major issue that was identified with the inherent security included in the 802.11 standard was the weakness of WEP encryption. Although a number of competing security methods have emerged since this time, the EAP, LEAP, PEAP, EAP-TLS, and EAP-TTLS protocols were developed in order to help provide additional security for the transmission or transport of authenticating information over a network. The 802.1X standard includes several of these protocols and is able to provide a network administrator with both a stronger authentication methodology than WEP provides as well as a means to both derive and distribute stronger keys to network clients to further improve the strength of WEP.
What is EAP?
The EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to provide an authentication framework that can be used for both Point-Point connections as well as wireless networks. The current definition of the protocol was originally included in the IETF’s RFC 3748 and later updated by RFC 5247. The purpose of the framework is to provide a means for the secure transport of keying material and related parameters that are created by the various methods included in the framework. Despite a common misperception, EAP is not considered to be a wire protocol. Instead, it solely defines a message format that allows other protocols to include or encapsulate the EAP message within a containing message format. Since the original definition and release of the EAP message format, it has found widespread usage across newer security protocols used on the Web to include the WPA and WPA2 standards which use EAP as the primary authentication method.
What Methods are Defined by EAP?
Since EAP was created in order to provide and authentication framework and not an authentication mechanism, it provides commonly defined methods that are available for implementing applications or protocols to leverage. Some of the more popular baseline methods that are defined in the IETF standard include EAP-POTP, EAP-GTC, EAP-TLS, EAP-IKEv2, EAP-MD, EAP-SIM, and SAP-AKA. Since the original release of the standard, there have also been a number of vendor-specific ‘add-ons’ and methods developed. Although some of these have been included in the latest proposals for update to the standard, not all have been adopted by industry. The IETF RFC 4017 includes the methods recommended for implementation in a WiFi authentication scheme which include EAP-TTLS, LEAP, EAP-SIM, EAP-TLS, and EAP-AKA. This recent standard also includes the means by which AAA key management can be implemented and be conformant with the standard.
How Does LEAP Work?
The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was originally created by Cisco Systems prior to the official ratification of the 802.11i standard. The LEAP protocol was first distributed via Cisco Certified Extensions (CCX) as part of trying to get industry to adopt 802.1X as well as dynamic WEP adopted by industry. Although there is not native LEAP support in the Windows OS, it is commonly supported by the various third party software included with widely sold wireless routers and devices. In order to add LEAP support for Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7, a simple client application has to be downloaded (for free) from Cisco that includes support for both EAP-FAST and LEAP. As LEAP has grown in popularity, there are a number of wireless network vendors who have subsequently claimed support for the protocol.
One of the drawbacks of LEAP is that it uses a modified version of MS-CHAP. MS-CHAP is an authentication protocol that does not strongly protect the end-user’s credentials. As a result, this information can be easily compromised using a tool called ASLEAP that was published in 2004. Due to the compromise of the protocol allowing “script kiddies” to obtain information, Cisco now recommends that clients who insist on using the LEAP protocol only do so while requiring complex passwords. When possible, the company actually recommends shifting to newer EAP protocols such as EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, or PEAP.
What is PEAP?
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) fully encapsulates EAP and is designed to work within a TLS (Transport Layer Security) tunnel that may be encrypted but is authenticated. The primary motivation behind the creation of PEAP was to help correct the deficiencies discovered within EAP since that protocol assumes that the communications channel are protected. As a result, when EAP messages are able to be discovered in the “clear” they do not provide the protection that was assumed when the protocol was originally authored.
The PEAP protocol was created as a joint effort between RSA Security, Microsoft, and Cisco Systems. The first version of the protocol to be released to the public was PEAPv0 that was bundled with Microsoft Windows XP. Subsequent versions included PEAPv1 and PEAPv2 that were included in later products.
How Does EAP-TLS Work?
EAP-TLS (EAP Transport Layer Security) was subsequently defined by IETF RFC 5216. The protocol was created as an open standard leveraging the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol and has found wide-spread support with the various wireless vendors on the market. It primarily consists of the original EAP authentication protocol and is still considered to be one of the most secure EAP standards on the market.
EAP-TLS does make the assumption that the end-user understands any warnings that are provided by the network or system about “false credentials” and finds widespread support amongst most if not all manufacturers of wireless software and hardware. Through mid-2005, if a vendor was able to prove compliant support with the EAP-TLS standard, then their company was able to certify compliance for receiving the right to display the WPA and/or WPA2 logos.
Some of the operating systems and companies that include native client/server implementation and support of the standard include: Avaya, Apple, Brocade, 3Com, Cisco, Foundry, Enterasys Networks, NP, Microsoft, Juniper, and other open source-based operating systems. Apple native support for the protocol can be assumed starting with Mac OS X 10.3 and newer, Windows XP and newer, the Apple iOS operating system, and Windows Mobile 2003 or newer.
Although most implementations riding on TLS such as HTTPS do not need a client side X.509 certificate, at the time of this writing many of the deployments of the standard still require this cert for operations. Many do not include a means to disable the requirement, although the IETF standard does not mandate their usage.
There has been conjecture that this requirement was implemented in order to reduce the overall adoption of EAP-TLS and the associated growth of encrypted wireless access points. By the later portion of 2012, there were efforts ongoing by Hostpad and WPA_Supplicant to add support for only requiring server-side authentication to support the protocol. This capability would permit hotspots to provide both free and encrypted WiFi access helping prevent some of the security vulnerabilities commonly found with unencrypted hotspots.
When EAP-TLS functions with a client-side certificate; however, the protocol provides the strongest authentication and overall security as compared to competing protocols. When the client-side certificate is in use, even a cracked password is not sufficient enough to break into a system that has implemented EAP-TLS. This is due to the fact of a rogue actor needing to have access to the certificate to gain access to the system since the password is only used for encrypting the certificate itself.
What Advantages Does EAP-TTLS Provide Network Administrators?
EAP-TTLS (EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is another EAP protocol created t further extend TLS. It was originally created by Certicom and Funk Software and finds support across a wide variety of computing platforms. Although Microsoft does not include native support for the protocol in its latest operating systems to include Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, it only requires installation of a certified third-party Encryption Control Protocol (ECP) client to support the product. Windows 8 does include support for the protocol natively; however, it was not included in Windows Phone 8 software builds at the time of this writing.
Under EAP-TTLS, the client computer does not have a requirement to be authenticated via a signed PKI certificate (validated by a Certifying Authority) to the server to work. This aspect of the protocol helps to simplify the overall setup procedure required to leverage the protocol by eliminating the need for a certificate to be found on every network client. Once the server computing device has been authenticated to the client, the server is able to use the established “tunnel” or secure connection to further authenticate the client. The protocol can also be used with an existing authentication infrastructure and incorporate legacy passwords or databases while the tunnel helps protect the information from the “Man in the Middle” or eavesdropping attacks. At no time is the end-user’s name transmitted in the clear while using EAP-TTLS helping to improve the overall level of security of the protocol.
What is EAP-FAST?
In order to provide industry with a suitable replacement to overcome the shortcomings found with LEAP, CISCO proposed EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling). The protocol was created in order to help maintain the “lightweight” approach for implementation that made LEAP popular while also addressing the security weaknesses inherent in LEAP. EAP-FAST allows the optional use of security weaknesses and also makes use of a PAC (Protected Access Credential) in order to establish a TLS tunnel. The tunnel is subsequently used to verify the client credentials.
What are the Three Phases of EAP-FAST?
The EAP-FAST protocol operates in three phases: Phase 0 (In-band provisioning), Phase 1 (Tunnel establishment), and Phase 2 (Authentication). In Phase 0, the protocol uses ADHP (Authenticated Diffie-Hellman Protocol) to share a secret that will be used during the secure Phase 1 communication. This aspect of the protocol eliminates the need to establish a primary or master secret every time a client desires to connect to the network.
During Phase 1, the protocol authenticates using PAC and then establishes a tunnel key. This ensures that both integrity of the connection and confidentiality are maintained during Phase 2. In Phase 2, the protocol authenticates the peer by exchanging credentials. The protocol can be implemented without the use of PAC files and then simply uses TLS. The protocol can be installed on Windows computer by installing a Cisco provided EAP-FAST module and has native support in OS X starting with OS version 10.4.8 and newer.

Blue Whale Game : 130 teens died till now
Sibajee Ray No Comments
In social media, a game is trending now a day’s named Blue Whale Game and reportedly so many teenagers are dying by playing this Blue whale game. A game which forces people to commit suicide at the end. This news is quite curious that how a Game can take so many lives. Yes it is true, this is a suicide game, or basically a set of challenges that players has to complete once he/she is in to it and the final challenge is the player has to suicide.
This Blue whale game was invented on 2013 by Philipp Budeik in, 21 years old Russian Psychology student who was expelled from his University. According to him by this game He is cleaning the society by killing kids who are mentally unstable, they are biological waste.
Blue whale Game was 1st started on a European social media Vkontakte, then it spread on Tweeter, Instagram, Facebook and other social medias. This game is conducted in closed or private groups of social medias i.e everyone can’t access this. But if someone is added or approved to that closed group then He/She can ask to play that or take that Blue-Whale challenge. People are searching for this game by different hash-tags like #Blue Whale, #sea of whale, #I’m in the game, #Wake me up at 4:20, #F57, #F58, #Secret House etc.
Once you sign up for this Blue whale game, you will be instructed that you can’t leave this game in the middle and you will have to complete all the 50 dares/challenges those you will be given. An instructor will be assigned once someone starts playing this game. And different tasks will be given to the player by his instructor by personal messages or calls. The player has to complete that task and as proof He/She has to send a picture or a video clip of completion of that task to the instructor.
RULES OF BLUE WHALE GAME TOLD TO EVERY PLAYER:
There is no way out. You can’t leave the Game in the middle. You will have to complete all the 50 tasks, one task per day. And the 50th task is you will have to commit suicide.
Carry out each task diligently and no one must know about it.
When one task is finished, send a picture or video.
If you leave the game in the middle we will come after you and your family members. We have all your information.
TASKS OF BLUE WHALE GAME:
The task given to the players by his/her instructor may differ. But all the tasks are like a challenge to the players. Those may be
Watch a Horror movie at mid night.
Climb up to a crane.
Don’t talk to anyone for a whole day.
Put status on social media “Meeting a Whale”
Listen to horrible music.
Crave a shape of whale on your hand by blade or knife.
Mutilate a body parts like fingers, toes etc.
Inject a sharp pin to your palm or feet.
Watch video of people committing Suicide.
Stand on the edge of a roof or bridge.
The 50th task could be Jump down from the building or may be cutting down the wrist vein or throat.
Till now around 130 teens already have committed suicide in different countries including Brazil, China, Colombia, Georgia, Italy, Kenya, Paraguay, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, United States and UK. In India also one 14 years old boy has jumped down from 7th floor of a Building at Andheri(East), Mumbai on 30th July.
So this Blue whale game is a dangerous side of Internet that may take lives of many children. The inventor of this game Philipp Budeikin was arrested on 22nd November,2016 at Muscow town of Russia in a charge of persuading kids to commit suicide. But the game is not stopped with arresting that person, it’s getting viral and running on the internet worldwide. Many countries have banned so many groups of social media to stop this attack to the kids. Also it’s our responsibility to take care of our kids and keep eyes on them that what they are doing on internet.
They easily manipulate the kids who are mentally sick and are not happy with their life and they force them to commit suicide. So we should put some more effort to keep our kids internally happy and we should instruct each of them not to open any link about this Blue-Whale game, not even out of curiosity.

Microsoft won’t patch critical flaw in Skype but will launch new version instead, alleges researcher
Instead of immediately fixing a critical vulnerability in its Skype application, Microsoft has decided to wait and include a possible fix in a new version of Skype which the company may launch in the near future, a researcher has alleged.
A critical vulnerability in Skype's update installer allows a hacker to exploit it to gain full control of a device and to install additional malware on the compromised device.
Security researcher Stefan Kanthak recently discovered a "system-level" security vulnerability in Microsoft's Skype application that allowed a hacker to gain full control of a computer and to use his/her access to either steal or monitor user data or to install additional malware.
He said that by using a sophisticated DLL hijacking method, a hacker can exploit the vulnerability in Skype's update installer to gain access to a computer. Using this technique, a hacker can trick Skype into using a malicious code instead of a standard Microsoft code.
'The attacker exploits the functionality of the Windows DLL loader where the process loading the DLL searches for the DLL to be loaded first in the same directory in which the process binary resides and then in other directories. Exploitation of this preferential search order can allow an attacker to make the loading process load the attackers' rogue DLL rather than the legitimate DLL,' noted Capec, a well-known security website.
'For instance, an attacker with access to the file system may place a malicious ntshrui.dll in the C:\Windows directory. This DLL normally resides in the System32 folder. Process explorer.exe which also resides in C:\Windows, upon trying to load the ntshrui.dll from the System32 folder will actually load the DLL supplied by the attacker simply because of the preferential search order. Since the attacker has placed its malicious ntshrui.dll in the same directory as the loading explorer.exe process, the DLL supplied by the attacker will be found first and thus loaded in lieu of the legitimate DLL. Since explorer.exe is loaded during the boot cycle, the attackers' malware is guaranteed to execute.
'This attack can be leveraged with many different DLLs and with many different loading processes. No forensic trails are left in the system's registry or file system that an incorrect DLL had been loaded,' it added.
It added that the vulnerability can be resolved by fixing the Windows loading process to eliminate the preferential search order. This will ensure that the loading process will only load the standard Microsoft code instead of codes injected stealthily by attackers. At the same time, signing of system DLLs will ensure that unauthorised DLLs injected by attackers will be detected and removed.
However, despite the vulnerability being critical enough to affect desktop users of the Skype application, Kanthak said that Microsoft is not keen on fixing the issue immediately as the process could be time-consuming and may involve too much workload.
Instead, he alleged that Microsoft aims to fix the vulnerability in a new version of Skype which it will launch in the near future.
"The engineers provided me with an update on this case. They've reviewed the code and were able to reproduce the issue, but have determined that the fix will be implemented in a newer version of the product rather than a security update.
"The team is planning on shipping a newer version of the client, and this current version will slowly be deprecated. The installer would need a large code revision to prevent DLL injection, but all resources have been put toward development of the new client," he said.
"Although the details are still a bit unclear, Microsoft’s reluctance to fix the issue suggests that this is a flaw in the architecture or design of the software rather than a simple or even complex bug in the code. This highlights an important distinction that often gets overlooked," says Jim DelGrosso, senior principal consultant at Synopsy.
"Bugs, which can often be identified with automated tools or manual code review, are discrete coding mistakes that can be addressed by modifying the affected parts of the code. Flaws are defects in the architecture or design of a software system and may require extensive reconstruction to mitigate the risk.
"This also highlights the importance of secure architecture and design at the outset of a software development project. It requires some effort and expertise on the front end, but it can avoid expensive or seemingly futile remediation efforts in the long run," he adds.
If DelGrosso's hunch is right, then it signifies how a basic flaw in the architecture or design of Skype's update installer immediately puts all desktop users of the application at risk of invasion of privacy. Microsoft's decision to fix the vulnerability by launching a new version of Skype instead of investing time and money on the existing platform does suggest that the vulnerability arose as a result of a serious design flaw.
The only way Microsoft can protect Skype users from being victimised by hackers is by launching the new version of the application without delay or by providing consumers a timeline of how long it could take to resolve the flaw in the current version of Skype so that they can take remedial measures in the meantime.

Lafayette author's Alycat series to be featured in swag bags for Oscar nominees at Academy Awards
BY MEGAN WYATT | Staff Writer
Megan Wyatt
Published Jan 14, 2020 at 5:45 pm | Updated Jan 14, 2020 at 6:02 pm
A Lafayette mom's book series and plush toys will be included in swag bags for Oscar nominees at the Academy Awards.
Alysson Foti Bourque's Alycat collection will be given to those nominated in the top categories of the Feb. 9 awards, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Kathy Bates and Quentin Tarantino.
"I'm super excited because this could really help the brand grow not just locally but also nationally," Bourque said. "My dream would be to have an animated Alycat series, and that dream could come true with the different connections that could come from something like this. I'm excited to watch the Oscars, and I'm excited to see what kind of feedback I might get about the series afterward."
Bourque said a New York publicity firm she works with recommended her series to a Los Angeles agency for the swag bags. Those who work in the industry try to provide a wide variety of products, even children's books, to celebrities at events like this, Bourque said.
The Oscar nominees will receive all four books in the series, including "Alycat and the Tournament Tuesday," which won't be released to the public until March 17.
Bourque's newest book encourages children to rely on hard work and perseverance instead of luck to achieve goals. When Alycat's brother, Bugsy, realizes he isn't using his lucky ball at a golf tournament, he discovers his past training and practice are what he needed all along.
Bugsy's dilemma closely mirrors one faced by Bourque's 9-year-old son, Carter, who also lost his lucky golf ball ahead of a golf tournament.
Carter helped his mom create a glossary of golf terms for the book, and he modeled golf positions for the book's illustrator.
"He helped me create this book," Bourque said. "He has some ownership in it. My son has so much determination and focus for a sport that can be frustrating, so he's definitely inspired the stories in this series. He just inspires me to keep on trying."
Bourque started writing children's books about five years ago after leaving her demanding job as an assistant attorney general for the state to spend time with Carter and her daughter, Izzy, who is now 11.
The mom frequently read to her children, then 6 and 8, during their newfound time together. But even though their home's bookshelves were full, Carter and Izzy demanded more options.
Bourque had an idea. She had written plenty of trial briefs. Why not try her hand at writing children's books?
Carter and Izzy loved the first book and encouraged their mom to keep writing.
"They were awesome, so believing," Bourque said. "I sent that first book to over 100 literary agents and publishers, and finally one said yes. It turned into a journey, an experience, and I haven't gone back to practicing law, even though I still have my license."
Now, Alycat has become a franchise with stuffed animals and a mascot that help bring the books to life. The main character's namesake and traits are a nod to Bourque's childhood self.
"Alycat solves problems through her imagination or creativity," Bourque said. "She is a character who likes to daydream and is creative. When I was 8, 9, 10 years old, I would daydream in class, and my teachers would snap and say, 'Alycat, come back to Earth.' I don't consider myself to be very creative, but Alycat is. I'm enjoying the journey she's taking me on."

EDITORIAL: Canadian Royals in residence could come with a cost
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. — Reuters file photo
“Many Canadians are giddy at the prospect that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be moving to Canada, injecting some razzle dazzle to the sprawling, bone-chillingly cold country.”
— The New York Times, considering the suggestion that Royals might be setting up shop in Canada for part of the year.
Razzle-less and practically dazzle-free, we huddle under our blankets to escape the constant cold, dreaming, yes, even giddily dreaming that we might one day host some small offshoot of the House of Windsor on our chilly, snow-swept shores.
For what better cure for winter is there — right across a sprawling, recumbent, prostrate, supine nation — than a good dose of royal quality?

— New York Times World (@nytimesworld) January 11, 2020
Spirits have lifted already, bones lost their chill, with the idea that the holders of sixth (Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex) and seventh (little Archie Mountbatten-Windsor) positions in the line of succession after Queen Elizabeth II (let alone Ms. Markle) might arrive here. In terms of Canadian tropes, why, this would be better than a beavertail after ice-skating on the Rideau Canal.
But seriously: if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want to spend part of the year in Canada to escape the endless harangue of the British press and to step back from the front line of the monarchy business, well, welcome. (Though we would suggest it will take less than a month for some Fleet Street editor to rubber-stamp the full expense of “a complete fact-finding mission on the Royals in retreat in the Colonies” or at least some over-the-back-fence long-lens photos of people being, well, people.)
And it may be that the Canadian media get caught up in the dog and pony show, at least for a little while. (Witness this story about the Royal pets in the National Post, reprinted from Britain’s Telegraph: “They reportedly flew their beagle and Labrador out to their property in Vancouver Island in November during their six-week sabbatical from royal duties. The Duchess brought her beagle, Guy, to the U.K. when the couple began dating. The couple later acquired the black Labrador, whose name has not been revealed.”)
But do keep in mind that razzling and dazzling has its own expenses. By Thanksgiving, keeping U.S. President Donald Trump in the style to which he has become accustomed — playing golf at his own resorts — has cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated US$115 million in travel and security expenses.
Redoing Prince Harry and Ms. Markle’s British home, Frogmore Cottage, cost British taxpayers the equivalent of $3.9 million. The security expenses for members of the Royal family are not released, so it’s difficult to say what the price tag might be here, or who exactly would be paying it. There is, however, a legitimate need for security.
We’d say more. But there’s only so much excitement we can bear in one bone-chilling wintry day.

The History You DON'T Know Behind the Most Prominent Character in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Wednesday, October 2, 2019 - 06:22
Disney has been hiding their very own “Most Interesting Man in the World” right under guest noses…
The Disney pantheon is full of extraordinary characters—men and women who have accomplished feats far beyond the measure of the typical tale: people like Elsa the conflicted queen, the warrior Mulan, the enigmatic Captain Jack Sparrow, the thief-turned-hero Flynn Rider, and even the steamboat captain who started it all, Mickey Mouse.
The character I’m referring to has largely flown under the radar compared to these better-known counterparts. Over the course of his many adventures, he proved a prince amongst paupers, a dedicated student of wit, honor, and flexible moral fiber. He bested legends, tamed beasts, liberated worlds, loved dangerously, stood toe to toe with the deadliest of villains, and turned the tides of wars.
Despite these accolades, you’ve probably never heard of Hondo Ohnaka—the shadiest pirate in the Star Wars saga.
Image: Disney
We touched on Hondo’s colorful history before in our cheat sheet to Star Wars lore surrounding Galaxy’s Edge. He first appeared as a frequent foil to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Clone Wars cartoon series, and every time you thought the galaxy was done with him, Hondo kept floating back up from the muddy depths to entangle himself in galactic affairs, each time with more preposterous effect. Not only has Hondo somehow proved essentially unkillable by the top Sith, Jedi, and bounty hunters in Star Wars history, but for a character who should have been written off as a passing comic relief, he’s developed into a sort of Bill Brasky of the Star Wars Universe surrounded by stories so outlandish, you can’t help but take notice.
Why should a Disney parks fan care?
With the landing of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Hondo Ohnaka miraculously claimed a starring role in the hit attraction, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. Indeed, you can thank Hondo for somehow swindling Chewbacca into letting your touristy-butter-fingers handle the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, and Disney even made him the subject of one of their most advanced audio-animatronics to date for the ride’s pre-show.
Is Hondo Ohnaka Disney’s own Most-Interesting-Man-in-the-Universe? Perhaps. Here’s why…
1. He bested Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku, and Anakin Skywalker—three times in the same day
Image: Lucasfilm
Hondo first came onto the scene of galactic events as the leader of the Ohnaka Gang, a notorious band of Weequay pirates. The Sith Lord Count Dooku once crashed his ship smack in the middle of the gang’s territory while fleeing pursuit from Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hondo found Dooku and initially offered to provide him passage to a planet of his choosing. Within mere hours, Hondo had the Sith cleverly disarmed through a theft perpetrated by his pet Kowakian Monkey Lizard and claimed him as a prisoner. Hondo spared no time contacting the Republic to demand a ransom of one million credits in spice.
This move was only the first in a very long series of complex maneuvers and double-crosses that sealed why Ohnaka was one of the galaxy’s most infamous pirate lords. The Jedi sent Obi-Wan and Anakin to Hondo’s stronghold on Florrum to verify Dooku’s identity. Hondo drugged both of the Jedi and captured them as well, tripling his hostage count. Kenobi, Skywalker, and Dooku attempted escape three different times but ended up repeatedly foiled by Hondo and his gang. Hondo’s ransom gambit actually would have succeeded had one of his pirates not attempted to steal the spice for himself, leading to a confrontation between the Republic forces and the Ohnaka Gang.
Ultimately, a fluke accident on the part of Jar Jar Binks— the Star Wars equivalent of Deus Ex Machina-- knocked out the power in Hondo’s base allowing the Jedi and Count Dooku to escape. When the Jedi finally captured Hondo, Obi-Wan ultimately decided to spare him, beginning a long and complicated relationship that would play out for years to come. Indeed, even through myriad shenanigans and attempted betrayals, Hondo would long refer to Obi-Wan as his good friend, “KENOBI!”.

This response to Theresa May's letter has gone viral

Theresa May's begging letter to the nation appealing for unity on Brexit did not go well, with many ridiculing her call for us all to "come together as one".
Theresa May’s begging letter to the nation appealing for unity on Brexit did not go well, with many ridiculing her call for us all to “come together as one”.
However, in amongst all of the tweets and social media posts mocking the letter, is this poignant reply directed back at the prime minister.
It comes from comic and veteran folk singer Mike Harding and has had considerable cut-through. The Facebook post has been shared more than 35,000 times - and tens of thousands more than Theresa May’s own letter.

For those that have not yet seen the letter, it is reproduced below.
Dear Mrs May,
I am in France having a break having come here on the train all the way from Settle. I just read your letter to me and the rest of Britain wanting us all to unite behind the damp squib you call a deal. Unite? I laughed so much the mouthful of frogs legs I was eating ended up dancing all over the bald head of the bloke on the opposite table.
Your party’s little civil war has divided this country irreparably. The last time this happened Cromwell discontinued the custom of kings wearing their heads on their shoulders.
I had a mother who was of Irish descent, an English father who lies in a Dutch graveyard in the village where his Lancaster bomber fell in flames. I had a Polish stepfather who drove a tank for us in WW2 and I have two half Polish sisters and a half Polish brother who is married to a girl from Donegal.
My two uncles of Irish descent fought for Britain in N Africa and in Burma.
So far you have called us Citizens Of Nowhere and Queue Jumpers. You have now taken away our children and grandchildren’s freedom to travel, settle, live and work in mainland Europe.
You have made this country a vicious and much diminished place. You as Home Sec sent a van round telling foreigners to go home. You said “ illegal” but that was bollocks as the legally here people of the Windrush generation soon discovered.
Your party has sold off our railways, water, electricity, gas, telecoms, Royal Mail etc until all we have left is the NHS and that is lined up for the US to have as soon as Hannon and Hunt can arrange it.
You have lied to the people of this country. You voted Remain yet changed your tune when the chance to grab the job of PM came. You should have sacked those lying bastards Gove and Bojo but daren’t because you haven’t the actual power.
You have no answer to the British border on the island of Ireland nor do you know how the Gib border with Spain will work once we are out.
Mrs May you have helped to divide this country to such an extent that families and friends are now no longer talking to each other, you have managed to negotiate a deal far worse than the one we had and all to keep together a party of millionaires, Eton Bullingdon boys, spivs and WI harridans. Your party conserves nothing. It has sold everything off in the name of the free market.
You could have kept our industries going with investment and development – Germany managed it. But no – The Free Market won so Sunderland, Barnsley, Hamilton etc could all go to the devil.
So Mrs May my answer to your plea for unity is firstly that it is ridiculous.
48% of us will never forgive you for Brexit and secondly, of the 52% that voted for it many will not forgive you for not giving them what your lying comrades like Rees Mogg and Fox promised them.
There are no unicorns, there is no £350 million extra for the NHS. The economy will tank and there will be less taxes to help out the poor. We have 350,000 homeless (not rough sleepers – homeless) in one of the richest countries on Earth and you are about to increase that number with your damn fool Brexit.
The bald man has wiped the frogs legs of his head, I’ve bought him a glass of wine to say sorry; I’m typing this with one finger on my phone in France and I’m tired now and want to stop before my finger gets too tired to join the other one in a sailors salute to you and your squalid Brexit, your shabby xenophobia and Little Englander mentality.
Two fingers to you and your unity from this proud citizen of nowhere. I and roughly half the country will never forgive you or your party.

Prolonged Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After MI Reduces Major Adverse Cardiac Events
63 for preventing one major adverse cardiac event
In Summary, for those who received DAPT:
1.6% of patients avoided one major adverse cardiac event
0.5% of patients avoided cardiovascular death
1 in 63 patients avoided one major adverse cardiac event
1 in 219 patients avoided cardiovascular death
None experienced an additional major bleeding complication
Source: Udell JA, Bonaca MP, Collet JP, et al. Long-term dual antiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in the subgroup of patients with previous myocardial infarction: a collaborative meta-analysis of randomized trials. Eur Heart J. 2016;37(4):390–399.
Study Population: Adults with stent implantation following myocardial infarction (MI) and concurrent treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)—the combination of aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor
Efficacy Endpoints: Prevention of major adverse cardiac events, defined as cardiovascular and noncardiovascular death, MI, and stroke
Harm Endpoints: Major bleeding complications
Narrative: More than 1 million Americans are diagnosed with an MI every year.1 Risk of atherothrombosis increases significantly after an MI, with an increase in platelet activation that can last for years.1 Frequent placement of drug-eluting stents in these patients further increases the risk of thrombosis. Because of this increased thrombotic risk, DAPT is used for long-term secondary prevention of major cardiac events.2,3,4 The duration of DAPT has been debated over the past few years. Prolonged (more than 12 months) DAPT has been shown to increase mortality in patients with drug-eluting stents despite a reduced rate of MI and stent thrombosis.5 However, recent studies suggest that the use of prolonged DAPT after an MI, regardless of stent placement or type, improves cardiovascular mortality without a significant increase in bleeding risk.5
A 2016 meta-analysis, including three randomized controlled trials with a total of 21,534 patients post-MI, compared those who received DAPT for 12 months and those who received continuous treatment beyond one year, with mean follow-up of 2.5 years.5 Patients were randomized at least one year after their infarction with a minimum of two years follow-up. There were significantly lower rates of major cardiac events among those who used prolonged DAPT (number needed to treat [NNT] = 63). Of note, overall cardiovascular mortality was significantly improved (NNT = 219). Despite a numerical increase in complications with prolonged DAPT vs. non–prolonged DAPT, there was no statistical significance between treatment groups for major bleeding (N = 207 vs. 134) or fatal bleeding (N = 29 vs. 26). In patients who are stable one year post-MI, prolonged use of DAPT may be an effective treatment to decrease major cardiac events and cardiovascular mortality.
Caveats: Despite the evidence to support the use of prolonged DAPT in stable patients one year after an MI, there is still some debate as to the clinical relevance of these data. The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association summarize the data as “moderately strong evidence of reduced cardiovascular events at the expense of increased bleeding.”4 This statement can be misleading because although it is based on a 2015 meta-analysis that shows a statistically significant increase in major bleeding (number needed to harm = 132), there was a nonsignificant increase in fatal bleeding. Additionally, this study demonstrated a reduction in cardiovascular death (NNT = 380) and no increase in noncardiovascular death or all-cause mortality.2 The data for this study come from the same randomized controlled trials in the 2016 meta-analysis with the addition of three additional trials (11,901 additional patients). These trials are not specifically discussed in the 2016 meta-analysis; however, it does point out that five articles were excluded because of incomplete data or nonrelevance.
The 2016 meta-analysis is limited by its lack of access to sufficient patient demographics to identify specific subgroups with higher therapy benefit or increased risk of harm. Additionally, it does not account for the presence or type of stents that patients may have received over the course of the study.
The original manuscript was published in Medicine by the Numbers, American Family Physician as part of the partnership between TheNNT.com and AFP.

How I Met Your Mother 9x16: How Your Mother Met Me
Honestly, I think the biggest issue with this episode was that there wasn't more of it. The concept (to show what the Mother was up to during the years we've been following Ted, showing the moments their lives almost intersected from her perspective) is a clever one and, frankly, a necessary one, but I want more, not necessarily from this episode, but from the series as a whole. The episode did a decent job of giving the Mother a character arc, one that carried through the eight years it spanned, grounding things so it wasn't just twenty-odd minutes of clip show paced "then this happened, then this happened, then this happened". That said, it did feel like that at times, simply because there's only so much room to work with in one episode, and that's where giving the Mother more screen time to cover this ground in other episodes could have alleviated the problem.

Saturday Night Live: Jonah Hill & Bastille
Well, once again this is a thoroughly average episode, with neither significant highs nor lows, and once again, the host is largely irrelevant to that outcome. Jonah Hill more or less did what he was asked to do ably, including a return for his recurring character and a variety of roles as both the featured player in a sketch, a supporting character, or a straight man. But the writing never really required him to do much, and the result was another blase episode (though one that was, overall, still weaker than last week's similarly blah episode).

How dumb is Henry? Wouldn't it be awesome if he was just dead now, and we were done with his character?
I'm fine with the idea of Peter Pan being Rumplestiltskin's dad (they were obviously connected somehow), but the reveal would have been more effective if, once again, it didn't occur in the same episode in which we first meet Rumple's dad. And also if his desire for immortality/childhood had been more firmly established prior to their arrival in Neverland, whereas before then, he just seemed kinda shifty and irresponsible.
That said, I really like the idea that Neverland is just some place Pan dreamed up as a child before eventually going there to rule it, and the casting department once again outdid themselves in casting Rumple's dad and young Rumple.

X-amining X-Men Annual #11
"Lost in the Funhouse"
The X-Men confront their greatest desires in order to defeat a powerful alien.
Penciler: Alan Davis
Inker: Paul Neary
Late at night, Wolverine drunkenly stumbles home, having been out "celebrating" the anniversary of his aborted wedding to Mariko. Later that evening, the X-Men, along with their guests Captain Britain and Meggan, are attacked and defeated by a powerful alien named Horde. He teleports them to a massive citadel and tasks them with entering the citadel and acquiring for him a crystal which resides inside that will grant him the power to rule the universe. Left with no choice, the X-Men enter the citadel. They quickly realize the citadel defends itself by making the hearts desire of those who enter real. Rogue is quickly lost as she becomes a Southern belle, followed by Havok, who is transformed into a star and freed of being responsible for his massive power. Longshot, having no desires, is absorbed by the citadel, while a despondent Dazzler is overwhelmed by visions of what her life could have been: successful attorney, superstar performer, or homeless bag lady.

X-amining X-Men vs. Avengers #1-4
"Justice For All" / "Uneasy Allies" / "The Soviets Strike Back!" / "Day of Judgement!"
April - July 1987
The Avengers, the X-Men and the Soviet Super-Soldiers battle over Magneto.
Writer: Roger Stern, Tom DeFalco (issue #4)
Co-Plotters: Tom DeFalco & Jim Shooter (issue #4)
Penciler: Marc Silvestri, Keith Pollard (issue #4)
Inker: Josef Rubinstein
Additional Inking: Bob McLeod, Al Williamson and Allen Milgrom (issue #4)
Colorist: Christie Scheele
Editors: Mark Gruenwald & Ann Nocenti
Issue #1: As fragments of Asteroid M come crashing to Earth, Magneto leaves the X-Men to investigate one of the crashes in Kampuchea. The Soviet Super-Soldiers, hoping to execute Magneto for his crimes against Russia, and the Avengers, hoping to capture Magneto and bring him to trial before the Soviets kill him, track him down. The Avengers arrive first and arrest Magneto, but the X-Men, who followed Magneto themselves, intervene, just as the Soviets arrive. Issue #2: In the ensuing melee, Magneto and the X-Men manage to escape, with Magneto retrieving his helmet and other equipment from Asteroid M before setting explosive charges, believing the base to be too dangerous to fall into the wrong hands. The Avengers defeat the Soviets then confront Magneto once again, though the ensuing explosion allows him to escape even while he spares them from the blast. The X-Men speed away, unaware that Dr. Druid has stowed away on the Blackbird.

How I Met Your Mother 9x15: Unpause
Moreso than any other except maybe the season premiere, this felt very much like a "final season" episode, harkening back as it did to Barney's origin and the season one/two break-up of Lily & Marshall even while it presented a flashforward look at the birth of Ted's second child. "What Barney does for a living" isn't one of those questions that I've been dying to have answered, but I nevertheless appreciate the effort, particularly since it amounted to more than just the "please" acronym gag and tied in with Barney's overall character arc (both in terms of his growth and his propensity for con games). Meanwhile, the pseudo-cliffhangery "Lily leaving in the middle of the night" plot is a bit of a false-starter (given that we know she comes back), but it's an effective way to use the show's history to move the characters forward even while it adds to the retrospective feel of the final season.
Saturday Night Live: Drake
Despite being the first episode back from the holiday break, the majority of the enthusiasm and energy in this episode came from the host. I had no idea Drake was such a comfortable performer (then again, I know very little about Drake, including, until now, his turn on Degrassi), and his energy helped lift some otherwise middling sketches on a night that otherwise fit the mold of the season: consistently solid, with neither very high highs or low lows.
This was the debut episode of Sasheer Zamata, the first female African-American the show has had in its cast for years, who was hired during the break as part of an audition specifically geared towards finding a female African-American cast member. Now that she's here, all the shows problems with diversity are solved, right? Right.
To Better Know a Villain: Loki
Loki Laufeyson
Venus #6, August 1949 (historical); Journey into Mystery #85, October 1962 (modern).
Powers and Abilities Loki is an accomplished sorcerer, capable of using magic to shapeshift, teleport, fly, generate energy blasts, ensorcell individuals, and more.
Additionally, like most Asgardians, Loki possesses super-strength, durability, and longevity. He also has a genius-level intellect and is an adept liar and manipulator, capable of conceiving and enacting elaborate, multi-layered schemes.

The Golden Globes
As hosts, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler killed it once again. We're hosting for the second time because this is Hollywood, and if something kind of works, they'll just keep doing it until everyone hates it'
Nobody in the TV world takes the TV Golden Globes very seriously (because the HFPA really doesn't), but it was still nice to see Amy Poehler win for her work on Parks and Recreation, making the HFPA the only major awarding body to recognize that excellent show.
Very surprised by both Andy Samberg's and Brooklyn Nine-Nine's wins. I mean, I like that show, it's steadily improving and I'm glad that these wins should (hopefully) lock it in for a second season, but I don't think it's the best comedy on TV right now, even amongst the other Globe nominees (that would be Parks and Rec).
Someone needs to work on the seating chart for next year. I think *I* could have gotten from my couch to the podium faster than some of the winners.

Sound on Sight
As any of you who follow me on Twitter have seen (and if you don't follow me on Twitter - @AustinGorton, clever, I know - you should), this week I began contributing comic-related articles to Sound on Sight, a pop culture website that covers everything from films to TV shows to comics to games, in addition to hosting a plethora of podcasts.
I'll be contributing reviews and feature articles to their comic book section, and you can find my first two reviews, of X-Men Gold #1 and X-Files: Conspiracy #1, here and here, and all my Sound on Sight writings here. Moving forward, I'll also be posting links on this blog to future articles there.
Never fear: X-aminations are staying right here on Gentlemen of Leisure, as well as my weekly TV reviews and all that stuff (though my long-promised "To Better Know A Villain" post on Loki will likely end up on Sound on Sight). This is just another place to find my writing, doing something a little bit different than what I do here. I hope you check it out (and check out some other stuff on Sound on Sight as well - if you're any kind of Disney fan, I recommend the Mousterpiece Cinema podcast, which is what brought Sound on Sight to my attention in the first place).

X-amining X-Factor Annual #2
"The Man in the Moon"
X-Factor and the Inhumans battle Quicksilver and Maximus the Mad.
Writer: Jo Duffy
Penciler: Tom Grindberg
Inker: Joe Rubinstein
X-Factor is in Central Park as Artie and Leech play with Franklin Richards and the Power children. Suddenly, Quicksilver and Lockjaw appear, and Quicksilver grabs Franklin. However, the pair is unable to flee as Leech is blocking Quicksilver's super speed and Lockjaw's teleportation ability. The Power kids attempt to help Franklin and call out to X-Factor, who join the fight, but all are rendered equally powerless by Leech. Eventually, the fight strays far enough from Leech that everyone's powers return, and Quicksilver orders Lockjaw to take them home. Lockjaw proceeds to teleport Quicksilver, Franklin and X-Factor to the court of the Inhumans on the Blue Area of the moon. Quicksilver, frustrated that Lockjaw took them there instead of to their master, tries to run off with Franklin, but is attacked by X-Factor and the Inhumans. Eventually, Lockjaw teleports again, taking Quicksilver, Franklin and Inhumans Medusa and Gorgon with him.

X-amining Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men #1-4
"Are You Sure? / Truth and Consequences / By the Soul's Darkest Light / A Matter of Faith"
February - June 1987
The X-Men seek the help of the Fantastic Four to save the life of Kitty Pryde.
Penciler: Jon Bogdanove
Editors: Ann Nocenti & Don Daley (issue #2)
Consulting Editors: Mike Carlin (issue #1) & Don Daley (issues #1 )
Issue #1: With Kitty's condition getting worse and Moira unable to do anything further, the X-Men reach out to Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, who possesses a device which may save Kitty, for help. Reed and the rest of the Fantastic Four, including former member She-Hulk, meet the X-Men on Muir Isle to examine Kitty. Reed, wracked with self-doubt following the discovery of an old journal, says he is unable to help her, prompting a fight to break out between the two teams. Issue #2: The fight between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four comes to an end when Dr. Doom, who has been monitoring the X-Men, offers to help Kitty. The Fantastic Four return to New York, where Sue Richards reveals to her teammates that the old journal suggests Reed knew all along that the space flight which gave them their powers would do so. On Muir Isle, the X-Men, though reluctant to put themselves in debt to Doom, agree to let him help Kitty.

How I Met Your Mother 9x14: Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment at Slapmarra
As mentioned in the last review, I doubt I was as stoked about the reveal of the next slap as some segments of the show's audience, but I certainly didn't mind the end result, particularly since it led to another episode largely devoid of Whacky Wedding Weekend Hijinks. Plus, the show went all in on the kung-fu/revenge movie parody, all of which was elevated by the fact that the rest of the gang just went along with Marshall's tale (with each of Ted's assurances that Marshall wasn't lying involving college in some way), much to Barney's comical disdain.
And, while I may not have been dying to know the details of the next slap, it should be noted that the whole slap "mythology" is the kind of thing we've seen far too many serialized dramas forget, overlook or payoff poorly in their final seasons. HIMYM has always been more serialized than the average sitcom, and the writers deserve credit for making sure this relatively significant part of that serialization gets its due before the show signs off. Or, to put it another way, all this slap bet stuff is the kind of thing the final season of Lost would have screwed up.
That Boyz II Men ending was pretty weird, though.

Around The Web: Not-So-Superman
Every once in a while I encounter something on the internet that annoys me. Well, maybe more than every once in a while. But every once in a while something on the internet annoys me so much I feel the need to blog about it. So perhaps these kinds of posts will come semi-regular from me.
I found this story about Man of Steel thanks to a Cracked.com article I was reading. Yeah, Man of Steel is a movie that is over sixth months old but I still get annoyed when I’m reminded of it. It’s not even like I despised the movie. I liked some parts but I just thought the movie overall was very flawed. Then I read this relatively small story about an interview with director Zack Snyder and suddenly my gears were grinding like crazy. Here are the five things that bothered me the most in the article:
5,000 People Died: That's right, 5,000 people. To put that into perspective, that's more deaths than the Unibomber bombings, the Oklahoma City bombing, the World Trade Center bombing, the 1996 Olympics bombing, the Boston Marathon bombing and 9/11 combined. Basically, Superman is partially responsible for one of the greatest tragedies on American soil.

It's been a couple weeks without much new TV, but things came roaring back this week, and I used that time off to catch up on a few things, and even finish one particular rewatch.
The Simpsons: Steal This Episode
One of the funnier episodes of the season (bot the FBI's zeal to go after internet pirates and most of the Hollywood stuff had me laughing consistently), and one that wisely acknowledges it's tackling an issue with no easy answers. That said, this episode felt, at times like a retread of earlier episodes (in more specific ways than usual): I'm fairly certain Homer has gone on a rage-filled tirade brought on by all the pre-show junk at movie theaters before, and the whole "pirating movies" thing felt like a rehash of the classic "stealing cable" episode from season two, which just made Lisa's relative lack of involvement in this episode stick out.

"The Enemy Within!"
Scott and Jean come to blows over whether or not Jean is Phoenix.
X-Factor returns to their headquarters with Rictor and a frozen-solid Iceman. After Rusty and Skids help thaw Iceman, they discuss their relationship, worried they'll turn out like Scott and Jean. The next morning, Rusty discusses his feelings for Skids with Scott, who tells him that his time with Jean didn't come until they were older. As Scott tells Rusty about how Phoenix held back his power on a butte in New Mexico, Jean overhears him and angrily runs off, much to the glee of a watching Cameron Hodge. Later, Scott and Hodge discuss Hodge's ad campaign during a training session between Rictor and Beast, and the sound of Hodge's voice causes Rictor to freak out and lose control of his power. As Leech helps him get it under control, Hank, Bobby and Caliban set out to try and track down the missing Boom-Boom. Scott retires to the penthouse, hoping to dig up some info on Hodge in the computer system, but just then Dark Phoenix appears before him, taunting him. Jean overhears him talking about Phoenix and confronts him about his insistence that she is Phoenix.
"RatRace!"
Karma and Chris Claremont leave.
Artists: Sal Buscema & Terry Austin
Letterer: Tom OrzechowskiColorist: Glynis Oliver
Starring: The New Mutants
Creators: Chris Claremont & Bob McLeod
In the bowels of the Hellfire Club, Karma takes control of Tessa, and uses her to search for information on Karma's missing siblings, but she comes up empty. Upstairs, Dani and John Proudstar lay out the terms of the New Mutants and Hellions contest: both teams hunt down the person who sold the fake Selene statute, with the losing team apologizing and taking the rap for any trouble with their respective headmasters. In a nearby suite, Illyana arrives with the group's graduation uniforms, but Karma bows out of the hunt. Transforming into a wolf, Rahne tracks the scent off the statute to Central Park, where she realizes the culprits they're after is Viper and Silver Samurai. Back at the club, Karma and Magneto discuss her missing siblings. In Limbo, the New Mutants observe the Hellions via a scrying pool, learning they've tracked Viper and Silver Samurai to nearby Shooter's Island.

Guest Penciler: Bret Blevins
Inker: Dan Green
Colorists: Glynis Oliver & Petra Scotese
In New Mexico, Alex awakens from a recurring dream in which he visits the X-Mansion only to be hunted and killed by the X-Men. Having experienced the dream every night since he returned from checking in with the X-Men in New York, he resolves to return there and confirm everything is still okay. The next morning, Lorna takes him to the airport as the Marauders watch. In New York, Alex finds the mansion deserted and, seeing an entry in Magneto's diary for that afternoon, decides to visit him at the Hellfire Club. Back in New Mexico, the Marauders attack Lorna. At the Hellfire Club, a distrustful Alex meets with Magneto, who tells him that if he needs to contact the X-Men, he can do so through Magneto, prompting Alex to angrily storm off. In New Mexico, Lorna fights back against the Marauders, trapping Sabretooth in rock before being hit by an energy blast from Scalphunter's gun. In New York, Alex tails Magneto as he enters the Morlock Tunnels, and comes across a meeting of the X-Men, at which point Alex is discovered.

New Ground – Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Leeds
The Reviews Hub - Yorkshire & North East 29/11/2018
Choreographers: Patricia Okenwa, Wayne Parsons, Amaury Lebrun and a selection of original student solo works
Reviewer: Rich Jevons
New Ground is a showcase of performance from second-year students on the BA (Hons) Dance (Contemporary) programme at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance.
For Patricia Okenwa’s Becoming she explains:
I am interested in the dynamics of pushing beyond where we know is graceful or comfortable in order to be fully present, take up space and find new solutions. The effort involved reveals a beautiful power that needs to be negotiated in relation to others. The dancers are continually searching and leaning towards connection and togetherness, whilst pushing their individual boundaries and discovering new pathways for themselves.
This may seem a tall order for the cast, but they live up to it with frenetic and frantic movement, displaying attraction and repulsion as they couple up. As a kind of light relief, there is a slower and more gentle solo section that manages to take control of the entire stage with aplomb. The Kronos Quartet soundtrack exactly fits the mood of the piece and punctuates the movement.
Wayne Parsons’ Never Did Run Smooth has a compere who narrates the action as if in some kind of bizarre dating game show. So they line up as if on a speed dating night, sometimes met by boxing gloves, at others a lipstick kiss. There is a mix of the comic and erotic with both teasing and fighting, flirting and playfulness in a passionate and powerful form. The performance uses music ironically and plays against its content, from Prince to Nina Simone.
William English’s Horsemeat is a masculine take on Erasure’s A Little Respect. It’s playful and explores the notion of being a male solo dancer. Thilde Hedegaard Andreasen, the aforementioned compere, now reveals a plaintive and ironic singing style combined with comic movement, while Nicole Nevitt appears dressed only in her underwear in a sensual, but at times, painful performance. The final piece in the solo suite is Alice Bowan’s Epiphany in which she attempts to dance on a chair, shuttling around the stage to great effect.
But the highlight of the evening is Amaury Lebrun’s Left Unseen. The entire cast is in perfect unison in this dynamic and inquisitive piece. Blue tops and grey slacks add to the uniformity imposed on the dancers, and timing is a particularly important point in the presentation. A fantastic finale to thoroughly enjoyable evening demonstrating the talent and professionalism of the NSCD students.

6 Interesting facts about Bob Marley’s life
Kabir Desai
Interesting Facts About Bob Marley's Life
Bob Marley was originally known as “Robert Nesta Marley”. He was a Jamaican reggae singer, songwriter, musician, and guitarist who achieved a lot of international fame for both good and bad. He was a renowned artist of his time and not to mention a great idealist.
He ranks among both the most popular and the most misunderstood figures in modern culture. Here are the six interesting facts about Bob Marley and his life:
6 facts about Bob Marley which gathers interest :
1. His Famous Quotes :
“Love the life you live, live the life you love”
Whenever a quote about inspiration, love or life is looked out for in the internet, Bob Marley quotes owns more than half of the page. His way of looking and perceiving life form an out of the view is considered as one of the original resemblance to person`s thought. People take a strong post-interest idea and conception after reading any one of his quotes.
Some of his Best quotes
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.”
“Love the life you live. Live the life you love”
And the fanciest one” If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. ”
2. Jamaican National Hero :
Jamaican National Hero
Yes Bob Marley is considered as a national hero in Jamaica, for all his peace keeping contribution toward his nation. His songs touched a millions worldwide and when it came to the heart of Zimbabwe’s freedom fighters who were fighting for independence during that moment, it touched so deep that many of their soldiers mentioned that it was his inspiring songs that help them to keep up the fight for good.
And not to mention he also helped and is helping the economy of Jamaica even after his death by attracting tourist by his music. Yes it is “official” debate to honor him with the title of “8th national hero of Jamaica”
3. His view on Marijuana was different :
Well marijuana is what many of the world population think what Bob Marley is all about?. Which is just one side of a coin? Bob Marley smoked marijuana only because he was practicing Rastafarian religion where the use of cannabis or marijuana was a holy sacrament.
He did not use cannabis as source of enjoyment or style statement, he used to smoke marijuana only because he viewed it as a holy rite, much as the “Naga Baba’s”, or devotes to lord Shiva form Varanasi, India who themselves view marijuana as a holy rite towards god. Viewing himself as a holy person Marley strongly believed that marijuana opened up a spiritual door which allowed him to become the artist and poet he was.
4. Nearly killed
In 1976, just two days before a scheduled free concert for the people for whom Marley and the then Jamaican PM Michael Manley had organized in the run up to the general election. Marley, wife Rita and manager Don Taylor were shot at their 56 Hope Road home, located just across the road from what is now the Bob Marley Museum.
Marley received minor injuries in the arm and chest it is generally believed that this shooting was politically motivated. Jamaican politics being in a very volatile state at the time, especially when close to elections time as it was then.
Nevertheless, the concert proceeded as scheduled, and an injured Marley performed prior to two days after the murder attempt. When asked why, Marley responded, “The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I?”
5. He loved Football
He loved football, if anything he desired most after music was his passion for football. One fine night, when Marley was just fifteen, he destroyed his shoes during a match and where upon his mother would beat him all around the house with a belt. It was then his uncle came to rescue. He always compared football to freedom, he often quoted,” I need that, free…football is freedom”.
A football was never far from his side, even during his world tour he used to carry a football. Most of his tours with the “Wailers”, they would play football before, during backstage and during sound-check. More over his best friend Alan Cole was a professional football player.
Irony of his life was that he died of the continuation of a badly neat wound caused at the time of a football match!
6.Tribute by Apache Indian ( Bob Marley music)
This might come as a bombshell.This man was popular among Indians that Steven Kapur better as Apache Indian, a UK vocalist, singer, song writer and a reggae DJ gave a huge memorable tribute to Bob Marley by composing a song by the name “OM NAMAH SHIAYA”. Yes you heard it right! The song was and is regarded as very welcoming song to Indian audiences. And the popularity of the song is diversified even more as lord Shiva is a Hindu deity for whom his devotees smoke marijuana.

July 18, 2017 By: Rabbi Jay Kelman |
In his 17th century collection of responsa (#93), the Chacham Tzvi, Rav Tzvi Ashkenazi, discusses whether a golem, perhaps best translated as an artificial human being, may be counted towards a minyan. The Chacham Tzvi rules that it may not be. As is well known, only (male) Jews can be counted towards a minyan and a prerequisite of being Jewish is to be a human being. A golem is not even a human being, so there is nothing to discuss.
This idea that being human is a prerequisite for being a Jew may be the reason the Torah begins with the story of the creation of man. It is not until the 20th generation that the first Jew appears on the scene. The Torah spends the first 11 chapters teaching about the human condition in general. We come face to face with the human impulse for honour, fame, money, power and immortality. We see how arrogance, greed and jealousy can cause so much harm. And we discover that it is hard to control such impulses, and that the Noachs and Chanochs of this world are few and far between.
Only after learning about the seven basic Noachide laws are we introduced to Abraham, the founder of G-d’s special nation. The idea that one must be a mensch before one can be a Jew is expressed in the rabbinic notion that derech eretz kadma leTorah (Vayikra Rabba 9:3), basic human decency must precede the giving of the Torah.
Sefer Breisheet is the book that teaches the fundamentals of derech eretz. It teaches how to be a yashar, a person who can get along with others[1]. Before we begin to discuss mitzvoth, i.e., sefer Shemot, we must ensure that the basics of human decency are observed. It is not just that honesty in business is more important than, say, keeping kosher or even sexual ethics (see Bava Batra 88b). Rather, it makes little sense to talk about kashrut if one lacks basic honesty. There is little point in discussing how to observe Shabbat if one has no empathy for the poor[2]. Not for nothing did our Sages claim that the first question G-d will ask on the ultimate day of judgment is, “Were your business affairs conducted faithfully?” (Shabbat 31a).
And as we all know and see with our own eyes, it is so much easier to observe mitzvoth between man and an abstract G-d than those between man and man. G-d, after all, never talks back to us, displays anger towards us, nor even criticizes us. It’s easy to get along with Him. Add in the fact that His reputation of controlling the world precedes Him, and it is no wonder that we often try to butter Him up by performing mitzvoth for Him. Yet we cannot fool G-d, who desires that we love those created in His image. But this is not easy. These G-d-like creatures are not always nice to us, and may purposely hurt and cheat us. Naturally, they get our ire up. Knowing this, we would do well to spend more time analyzing how to interact with these very imperfect “images” of G-d. But hard as we try, the human condition is such that we can never fully succeed. That is fine as long as we keep trying to improve and focus not on our strengths, but on our weaknesses. “Most [people sin in the area of] theft, some [sin in the area of] sexual immorality and... all [sin in the area of] the dust of lashon hara” (Bava Batra 165a).
Not much has changed over the years—with the possible exception that more mitzvoth need to be added to this list of most difficult mitzvoth to properly observe. While our rabbis understood human nature and our desire for sin, I do not think they could envision a scenario in which people would define religiosity by looking almost exclusively at the rituals or the externals of Judaism. Our mesorah, our way of life – a concept so widely invoked today – goes back to the prophets. And if there is one thing the prophets taught, it is the primacy of the ethical over the ritual.
In this vein, I would like to share a beautiful story related by Dr. David Pelcovitz at our just-completed medical ethics conference. He told of the Sunday that Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, in an unprecedented move, announced that there would be no morning seder, as he had something very important to say to the yeshiva students. Looking agitated, he recounted how the previous Shabbat had been an exceptionally hot day, making walking the hills of Jerusalem extra difficult. Walking to shul, he saw a chatan walking with his father to set up kiddush for the aufruf of the young man. What he witnessed shocked him. The father, sweating profusely, was shlepping chairs under each arm while the son was casually walking besides him. Rav Shlomo Zalman, in shock, was watching this go on and on; finally, he could not take it any more. He went over to the chatan and exclaimed, “Kivud av, kivud av”. And the yeshiva bachur looked up and with pride in his frumkeit, said to this truly great Torah giant, “I don’t hold by the eiruv”. Rav Shlomo, shaking, lamented to his talmidim, “Where have we gone wrong? Where have we gone wrong?”
While I imagine this may have been a rhetorical question, it is not too difficult to suggest an answer. How much time do students spend learning about ethical behaviour and how much time about ritual obligations? If one wants to get a message across, it must be constantly repeated – a fact the evildoers of 75 years ago understood well. How many shiurim are there on kibud av veim vs. Shabbat or kashrut? One needs to know the latter to get semicha and become a rabbi, but as far as I know, no rabbinical school tests on the former.
I am quite certain we can all name numerous chumrot in the field of kashrut, yet many would be hard-pressed to name one chumra regarding kibud av veim. In fact, many would find such a notion strange. How many even know where to find the laws of kivud av veim? And much the same applies to other areas of ben adam lechaveiro from business ethics to the laws of revenge, zoning laws, even the laws of tzedaka. Instead of focusing on trying to produce great Torah scholars, our emphasis must be on producing honest Jews[3].
While I appreciate that teachers like to teach new things and pride themselves on never giving the same shiur twice, I must admit that I do not understand such an approach. There is nothing wrong—and lots and lots right—with coming back to the same themes, and even stories, over and over again to have any hope of impacting on others. While one must find a balance and ensure one still has a relevant message, there is much to be said in praise of the rabbi who gave the same sermon, year in and year out, on Yom Kippur. When asked why he did so, he responded that as long as people continue doing the same sins they did during the past years, he must speak about these exact sins, year in and year out.
There is little need to talk about kashrut, Shabbat[4] or even Talmud Torah in the Orthodox community. The importance of these are known by all (though reinforcing their importance is not a bad idea). But such cannot be said about many of the basics of being a decent human being, a prerequisite for being an observant Jew. Business ethics stands out as the number one area in need of improvement, and we would do well to speak about this much more often. While conferences on medical ethics are most popular, conferences on business ethics are almost non-existent. Instead of worrying whether the minhag of not sleeping on Rosh Hashanah precludes one from taking a nap on Rosh Hashanah afternoon (it does not), we might discuss the laws of ona’ah, price fraud, negative advertising, treatment of employees, or maybe even honouring one’s parents.
[1] See the powerful introduction of the Netziv to his commentary on Breisheet where he writes how G-d “hates” tzadikim, the righteous who are holier than thou and hence, look down upon others with a different religious view.
[2] See here where the opening Mishna of Tractate Shabbat begins by stressing the importance of taking care of the needs of the poor. In a similar vein, the opening law of Pesach, as codified in the Shulchan Aruch, is to ensure the poor will be able to afford to celebrate this most expensive of holidays.
[3] If this sounds like an advertisement for the Mussar movement, so be it.
[4] With the exception of texting on Shabbat, a practice that is much more widespread than I had realized and cuts across all—and I mean all—shades and varieties of Orthodoxy.

Melania Trump Reportedly Wants to Build a 'Glam Room' in the White House
Her longtime makeup artist shares the plans.
Soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump won't be moving into the White House until her son Barron finishes up the school year, but she's reportedly already thinking of how she can make the space her own. According to her long-time make-up artist Nicole Bryl, Trump has plans to create a "glam room," power room of sorts where she can get ready and store both her clothes and her makeup.
"There will absolutely be a room designated for hair, makeup and wardrobe," said Bryl, who has been working with Melania for over a decade (the pair met 17 years ago on a commercial shoot, according to Racked).
"Melania wants a room with the most perfect lighting scenario, which will make our jobs as a creative team that much more efficient, since great lighting can make or break any look," she told Us Weekly.
According to New York Magazine, "a preservation committee oversees any changes to the White House's public spaces or historic guest suites," but the first family is allowed to make alterations to the residence or other areas of the property. For example, President Obama added a basketball court during his administration.
And while Melania obviously wont have such a space in the White House for the inauguration, she clearly has a plan for her aesthetic at the ceremony.
"There will be a meeting with the entire creative team to discuss the look for each given event for that day, as there will be several," said Bryl.
"Melania will absolutely let us know what she envisions for herself, since she always has such a strong and secure idea of how she likes things. It makes it that much easier for the rest of us to team together and execute her vision."

Division of Interventional Neuroradiology at UCLA Health
Welcome by Dr. Gary R. Duckwiler, MD: Director, Division of Interventional Neuroradiology (DINR)
Welcome to the Division of Interventional Neuroradiology (DINR) at UCLA Medical Center. The mission of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is to provide excellent patient care in support of the education and scientific programs of the schools of the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences.
The Division of Interventional Neuroradiology at UCLA is known for invention of the coiling technique for brain aneurysms with the Guglielmi Detachable Coils (GDC). Since these were first used at UCLA, these and later iterations of coils have revolutionized the care of brain aneurysms. Where once open surgery was the mainstay of treatment, minimally invasive coiling is now dominant. However, not all aneurysms are amenable to coiling and surgery may be necessary. At UCLA, we have highly integrated Neurological multidisciplinary care with the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology. As such, we provide the full spectrum and most appropriate care for every patient we see.
The DINR has also been a leader in interventional Stroke care. Our division invented the first device approved for use in opening up brain vessels in acute stroke, the MERCI device. Along with our world renowned colleagues in Vascular Neurology and Neurosurgery, UCLA was the first institution in Los Angeles designated a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Joint Commission. We are a leader in acute Stroke trials and care.
The DINR was also pivotal in the development of other devices, such as Onyx embolization material, which is used to block abnormal vessels in the brain. Our practice extends to all vascular care of the brain, head, face, neck, and spine. We are also members of the Multidisciplinary Vascular Birthmark Center along with our colleagues in Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Head and Neck Surgery, and Ophthalmology.
Thank you for visiting our website and contact us with any questions you may have.

Former IAAF president Lamine Diack.
A sports corruption case involving allegations of a massive doping cover-up and far-reaching malfeasance at the top of track and field starts today in Paris.
The two-week trial is expected to detail evidence that Russian athletes paid millions of dollars to hide their suspected doping so they could compete at the Olympics in 2012 and other competitions.
Lamine Diack, who served as president of the sport’s governing body for nearly 16 years, is one of the accused recipients of the payments.
As IAAF president, Diack was one of the most influential men in Olympic sports, presiding over an era when Usain Bolt made track and field wildly popular. But Diack’s legacy, and the IAAF’s credibility, took a beating after he stepped down in 2015. He was arrested in France and investigators revealed accusations of athletes being squeezed for payments to cover up their doping cases.
The 86-year-old Diack is being tried for corruption, money laundering and breach of trust. Prosecutors say he directly or indirectly solicited 3.45 million euros (US$3.8 million) from athletes suspected by the IAAF of doping who paid to have their names cleared so they could continue competing. About two dozen Russian athletes were reportedly involved.
Prosecutors also charged Diack for involvement in a US$1.5 million payment from Russia for use in electoral politics in his native Senegal. Prosecutors say the money was creamed off sponsorship and TV rights deals, negotiated with Russian officials. Prosecutors say the money was to finance presidential and legislative election campaigns in Senegal in 2012, in exchange for slowing down doping cases targeting Russian athletes.
Diack is also accused of having enabled one of his sons, Papa Massata Diack, to embezzle IAAF sponsorship revenue from Russia’s VTB Bank, Chinese oil firm Sinopec and broadcaster CCTV, South Korean tech giant Samsung and others.
The son, Papa Massata, also faces corruption, money laundering and breach of trust charges but is not expected in court because Senegal has refused France’s extradition requests for the former IAAF marketing consultant.
Lamine Diack was detained on a trip to France in 2015 and has been forbidden from leaving the country ever since. Papa Massata is expected to be tried in absentia.
Also being tried for corruption and expected in court are a lawyer who advised Diack, Habib Cisse, and a doctor, Gabriel Dolle, who oversaw drug-testing at the IAAF and is accused of taking payments to delay doping cases.
Two Russians are also on trial but not expected in court: Valentin Balakhnichev, a former IAAF treasurer, and Alexei Melnikov, a coach who led Russia’s long-distance running program.-AP

Sandoval resigns from state Senate transportation panel
The Center Square
Published 2:54 pm CDT, Friday, October 11, 2019
CHICAGO — State Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Cicero, on Friday resigned his post as chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee shortly after the release of an unredacted search warrant federal agents used to raid his office in Springfield.
The warrant lays out a broad investigation into his dealings with ComEd, Exelon, a video gambling company, a redlight camera company, an asphalt contractor and state and municipal officials. According to the warrant, agents were searching for “items related to any official action taken in exchange for a benefit,” also known as a kickback.
Senate President John Cullerton confirmed Sandoval’s resignation late Friday morning.
The unredacted document was released by Senate Democrats after WBEZ filed a lawsuit to obtain it under the state’s open records law. Previously, Cullerton had released a redacted copy of the warrant.
Federal agents were looking for evidence of Sandoval’s interaction with ComEd and Exelon related to any issues those companies supported, including potential rate increases, according to the warrant.
Agents also sought information related to red-light camera operator SafeSpeed. House Bill 173 is mentioned as a federal search target.
In 2016, legislation to ban red-light cameras passed in the state House of Representative with bipartisan support. After being assigned to the Senate Executive Committee, it was relegated to a subcommittee chaired by state Sen. Antonio Munoz, D-Chicago, and allowed to pass its deadline with no action. It was then re-assigned to Sandoval’s Senate Transportation Committee, where Sandoval assigned it to a subcommittee with no members. It was never voted on again.
Ceasar Santoy and a collection of others were named in relation to SafeSpeed. Gov. J.B. Pritzker nominated Santoy to the Illinois Tollway Authority Board in February but has yet to be approved. On Friday, Pritzker said Santoy should step down.
“Corruption and self-dealing are unacceptable and will be rooted out whether it’s in my administration or in the legislature and so from my perspective, Ceasar Santoy should step aside from his position on the tollway board,” Pritzker said.
Pritzker also said it was important to note that Santoy has not been charged with a crime.
“He was qualified for the position, but it’s clear now anyway that there is some cloud and investigation. That’s not to say that he’s yet been found to have done anything or even charged from what I understand,” Pritzker said. “But still, it’s important for us to make sure that there’s no cloud that carries over to any work that gets done with the tollway.”
Santoy’s attorney didn’t address whether Santoy should step down from the tollway authority.
“I’ve been informed that Mr. Santoy is not a target,” attorney Brendan Shiller said. “The government got a warrant for certain communications and Mr. Santoy cooperated fully and provided those communications.”
Messages seeking comment directly from Santoy or the tollway authority were not returned.
Agents also sought information related to Gold Rush Amusements Inc. and owner Rick Heidner. Gold Rush is a video gambling company with 480 locations statewide, according to its website. The firm has no locations listed in the Alton area.
Since 1999, Gold Rush has made more than 300 campaign contributions in Illinois to both Democrats and Republicans, including $11,500 to the Friends of Michael Sandoval, $30,500 to the Friends of Michael Madigan, $23,500 to Citizens for John Cullerton, and $18,500 to the Democratic Party of Illinois.
During a raid of Sandoval’s office last month, agents took cell phones, computers, USB drives, campaign spreadsheets and other items. Federal investigators also searched Sandoval’s Cicero office and his home.

Thomas Cook eyes break-up with airline sale
John Collingridge
July 29 2018, 12:01am, The Sunday Times
The sale of the airline would free up cash to pay down debt and fuel expansionALAMY
Thomas Cook has held talks about selling a stake in its airline, raising the prospect of the 177-year-old travel giant being broken up.
Industry sources said it had held internal discussions on how to split its airline from its tour operator to free up cash, which would be used to pay down a big debt burden and fuel expansion.
Work on a possible separation is thought to be at an early stage, with nothing likely to happen imminently. However, an eventual move could reinvigorate the company after years of turmoil.
Thomas Cook has long wrestled with how to pay down debt and fund growth amid fierce competition from budget airlines and holiday booking websites.
Under former boss Harriet Green, it partially repaired its finances in…

Men Who Like Being Little Spoon Make Better Partners
by : Francesca Donovan on : 10 May 2018 14:02
UGC-Fox Distribution
In the cutlery drawer of your relationship, at some point, everyone wants to hunker down into the foetal position and be the Little Spoon.
Science says hugging is good for you and progressive social politics have spurned the antiquities of gender norms.
We’re essentially operating a millennial free-for-all love in, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the 60s when your mum went to Woodstock.
But still, of the 20 per cent of UK couples who do spoon, guys who like to be Little Spoon aren’t quick to confess this so-called blight on their masculinity, with 55 per cent of young males admitting they are anxious about getting laughed at if they are emotionally open.
So pervasive are the shackles of supposed masculinity they actually go against natural human behaviours.
In fact, science has actually shown men who like to be Little Spooned from time to time make much better partners.
Steve McKeown, Psychoanalyst and founder of The McKeown Clinic told UNILAD:
Men that prefer to be the little spoon are more likely to be submissive, sensitive, pleasing and in touch with their feminine side.
A male that is in touch with his sensitive side can be more compassionate and definitely a contrast from the traditional male.
Sensitivity is a very important trait as relationships tend to be complicated and can be problematic in today stress driven society.
Apparently, it also increases emotional intelligence, according to McKeown:
So a male who is in touch with his feelings tends to be more emotionally intelligent than those who are not, which is a major plus point in any relationship as communication is key.
It is also considered men who are sensitive spend much more time with a woman they adore and love, and it’s acceptable to expect a lot more compromise.
McKeown also states it’s an issue of ‘dominance and protection’ which can refer back to ‘the woman being in charge in the relationship; in other words she wears the trousers’.
He added:
The spoon position demonstrates a dynamic in which one partner takes a protective stance over the other. It a vulnerable position that says ‘I trust you’.
This type of protection has once been a stereotype of male dominance over the women but not anymore. Times have changed as women are now somewhat freer to assert their dominance in all aspects of life.
So, in the name of Little Spooning permissiveness, UNILAD asked a couple of guys who enjoy a cuddle why they are pro-little spoons for all.
George, 22, told UNILAD he found being Little Spoon ‘comforting’.
Stew, 26, had a very descriptive take on the bedroom activity, joking:
Every man wants to be a super hero… but when you have a naked woman as your cape you jump right up the food chain of The Avengers.
At the end of the day, men like to be spooned for the same reason as women.
Pushing aside the patriarchal norms of society everyone wants to be safe and nothing feels more secure than a good old hug.
Sam, 25, jumped in, picking up the descriptive comparisons:
I’d say that for the modern gent being the Little Spoon is much like a sit down wee. It’s one of those things that isn’t normally done, but is becoming more and more socially acceptable – particularly as a treat.
I think the stereotypical outdated masculine image is slowly being eroded and more men are becoming comfortable with the idea that sometimes even guys need their head petted and to be told they are pretty.
undefined Getty
Sam, who described himself as ‘shorter than the average male’ also explained that being Big Spoon isn’t always a walk in the park.
I’m actually just slightly shorter than the average male adult, so Big Spooning often means a mouth full of hair and sometimes difficulty breathing.
I think most of the time it’s not a matter of asking to be little spoon, you just sort of manoeuvre yourself into the sweet spot. It’s a lot like Ross from Friends and his ‘hug and roll’ technique.
Far from being a matter of the heart, spooning is a human right that should be enjoyed however you please.
Forking jokes aside, a recent report titled Love, Lust and Loneliness, conducted by Status Online and the Family Stability Network (Fastn), paints a picture of the obstacles today’s young men navigate in their quest for happiness and revealed a lot of fears and worries.
A concerning 60 per cent worry about being alone, 61 per cent are scared they’ll be a disappointment in a relationship.
A further 55 per cent are anxious they’ll be laughed at if they are emotionally open.

The Language of the Peloton
I can’t understand the American obsession with finger food in general and sliders in particular. Finger food, in its strict interpretation, should be food for your fingers, not food which is eaten with one’s fingers. While “finger food” is inaccurate as a generality, sliders are basically just hamburgers that never got the Rule #5 Talk. Burgers are meant to be big, juicy, and stop your heart in its tracks. It’s the American Way.
But the point is, despite Juliet’s assertion to the contrary, there is quite a bit in a name. Whereas the mere mention of “sliders” invokes some level of anger within me, there may be a few people around who actually like the name quite a lot; perhaps it makes them feel like eating four tiny burgers is healthier than eating a single giant one, as though it will somehow make their blood flow faster through their presumably already-clogged arteries.
Being bilingual gives one a view into the use of words that people who speak only one language would struggle to have. Not that being bilingual makes you any better at communicating; quite the oposite, in fact. I find that words and letters are very fluid for me and I tend to work with a general “sense” of what a particular word’s definition might be while monolingual people understand quite well what specific words mean and what order letters are intended to arrive in. As it turns out, knowing a word’s precise definition can be helpful in certain situations, such as when one is attempting to use it in a sentence.
But speaking more than one language (I also speak a smattering of French and a crippling amount of German) gives one a glimpse into the beautiful depth of expression that can be found in a simple jumble of letters. And this is where having a general rather than concrete sense of a word’s definition becomes a beautiful thing; I can guess the meaning of a word or sentence and not be bothered by the accuracy of my impression while still getting the meaning of what is being said. I’m then at liberty to allow my imagination to add layers of meaning atop my sense, giving a beautiful depth to a simple word. Its one of those beautiful moments in life when being wrong can be much more enjoyable than being right.
The sport of Cycling has very rich language that surrounds it. Because of the Continental influence during its formative years, it has obtained this richness by incorporating expressions from several languages including French, Italian, and Flemish. I’ve learned from speaking and learning to varying degrees of failure some of these languages, that American English is actually a relatively inexpressive language. American English is usually focussed on giving meaning to things and actions while European languages, while doing much of the same, will modify words slightly to also convey some spirit that surrounds the intention of their use.
Its not surprising, then, that when we speak of our sport, we generally turn to the Continental terms in order to describe the more subtle properties we’re trying to convey. Ten of my favorites are below; the list is painfully brief.
Grimpeur. French for one who goes well uphill, normally with the grace of an angel.
Rouleur. French for one who goes well on the flat, normally with the grace of an angel.
La Volupte. French for a fleeting moment of perfect harmony and clarity found aboard a bicycle.
Le Fringale. French for hunger knock or bonking. Which of these would you prefer to have?
à bloc. French for riding all-out, hammering, or firing off the Guns. The only English expression that rivals it’s beauty is to say one is riding on the rivet.
Hellingen. Flemish for short, steep climbs. No English version of “hill” or climb will ever contain the word “hell”.
Grinta. Italian for “tough”. In Dutch, the word for gravel is “grint”. Grinta conjures up visions of someone who has gravel in their gut.
Sur la Plaque. French for moving into plate – the big ring.
Un Jour Sans. French for “a day without”, or a day when the legs don’t seem to respond to what the mind is telling them.
Il Posizione. Italian for the position on the bike where a rider can hammer on the pedals to go faster with less effort.

@itBurns – that Phil quote is magnificent!
sthilzy says:
May I be so bold as to throw in a few Aussie cycling terms:
The Mocka (after Russell Mockridge) – a race/course guide.
“In on the Chop” or “In on the Joke” – where a break agrees to split race winnings amongst themselves, ie. in a break, those in on the joke will work together to stay away, etc., etc. The inherent subtleties and skullduggery of the Chop probably deserve their its own post. “Are we chopping it?”
“Delivering the Mail” (think this is Oz): where one is zigagging up a climb due to the steepness and shortage of Rule #5.
“All show and no go”: self-explanatory and may very well be self-descriptive
“Blew my doors off”
Nothing to do with cycling but a few of my faves at the moment:
Busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.
Mate, you couldn’t organize a fuck in a monkey brothel if you walked in carrying a bag of bananas.
Some more Aussie ‘Language’ used when growing up at the club;
“Come-a-Gutsa” = Fall of one’s stead
“Bring it on!” = Yelled out when making or chasing a break away
“Flounder” = rider who stays at back all race long to place in the sprint
“Ball bagger of a road/climb” = dead road surface that sucks the speed off
“Soft cock!” = rider who pulls in just before taking a turn in front
“Warwick Cappers” = anyone with white shoes – back in the 80’s. (I had Duegi’s)
“Nelson Vailed it!” = won the sprint like a champ
“Borrow the Silca” = the only track pump shared by everyone to pump 3 atmospheres in your tubs
Wayne Schimmelbusch says:
Answer me this: why isn’t there a word en Français for a sprinter? Or is there? We have grimpeurs, rouleurs, puncheurs, but no word for sprinters. Is it because, ultimately, the sprinters lack panache, with the result that they are unmeritorious of a monicker?
@scaler911
In Belgium in the early 90’s the common language with the Lithuanians was Spanish.
Awesome article, Frank!
I went out Sunday for a group ride that didn’t really materialize. Went for a solo ride nonetheless and was Un Jour Sans the entire time. Ugh. I tried to ignore it & just enjoy the incredible weather & fine cycling roads but I could not help but wonder what had caused such dismay for the guns. Sleep? Diet? Both? Just an off day. Some days the guns fire off, some days they refuse.
I’ve taped an index card with faire le metier written on it over my desk , thanks to learning about it here & realizing it was a great mindset on or off the bike.
My father grew up among many different ethnic groups – Italians, Hungarians, Germans, Poles, Jews (I know, not quite an ethnicity) – and I’m realizing all the time that words he uses are from these other folks. Usually they are not the nicest words, but hey, it’s fun to be multi-lingual. And it’s interesting for me that he grew up in such a diverse environment.
Souleur says:
Great article Frank, as you usually do
Its a mind opening matter to see our language in its origins of other words. Speaking a ‘splattering’ of a little spanish, a little Italian, and a mostly have a command in Latin, its very interesting to see how English got really translated and evolved over time, sometimes for good, sometimes not
And then there is our beautiful words in ‘the Rules’
Where ‘normal’ people look at us w/a cock of the head, and wonder what the crap we are talking about when we say HTFU! and ‘shut up legs’…its like speaking pig latin to a 15 y/o
Timeless and something that will inevidibly be discovered years from now in a time capsule somewhere in Buck Rogers neighborhood
@RedRanger
Btw there is a place in Tempe that has these things called The Jewish Slider. It’s got brisket, Potato pancakes, cheese and brown grave. Those things are awesome.
Sure, but how much more awesome would it be if it got the Rule #5 Talk and was more biggerish?
Here’s a thing I think gets overlooked in the Peloton. The language barrier itself. If like most of us, you’re not bi-lingual like Sir Fronk, it’d be tough. You’re off in a break with Vino, Nibbles, and Jens say. How the fuck do you communicate? It’s hard enough to get your point across in your native language while deep in the pain locker, but in Russian? Must be tough.
That’s absolutely right. And these days, most of those guys speak English. Imagine 1980 when the first wave of English-speakers were hitting the European races? They all learned French and Italian.
One of the incredibly cool things about Europe in general is the appreciation of other languages. Almost everyone learns to speak another language and once you’ve learned one, it becomes easier to learn more because of that phenomenon where you get your brain to break out of that pattern where letters in a certain order make a certain sound. Your brain gets more fluid about that stuff, which is both good and bad.
And it was that way; Merckx went to Molteni and learned Italian. In the old days, you started by learning multiple languages for that reason; go out into a break and you can’t communicate and you’re fucked. Pro cyclists may have been generally educated less than other populations because they turned Pro at 19 or 20 rather than going to or continuing school, but they all still learned to speak a handful of different languages.
@nginther
As long as we are talking about Liggettisms I really like “and the elastic has snapped”
Yeah, and as a few others have mentioned some other good ones. That’s a great one, it paints a picture that takes quite a bit of talking to express otherwise.
@il ciclista medio
Certain languages are more expressive and contain words and phrases that Modern English can’t quite relay. That cycling is peppered with beautifully poetic words/phrases from several languages and English isn’t really one of them isn’t so much a derision of itself, but does show it’s expressive limitations. It is also a reflection as frank pointed out, on it’s origins.
Yeah, nothing wrong with English as it is, it’s just less expressive in this way than others; but the beauty is that we have it both ways by incorporating these words into our vocabulary.
@Gildasd
“Tout à droite”
Everything on the right, as in big ring and the smallest cog.
Never heard that, perfect example…I’ll have to aggregate these…
@Oli
It’s English/Liggetish, but SUITCASE OF COURAGE!
YES! Another good one…
@sthilzy
“Warwick Cappers” = anyone with white shoes – back in the 80″²s. (I had Duegi’s)
Unfortunately, Bring it On is a cheerleading term. We use a lot of those other ones in Murcan English; Delivering the Mail is a good one – we also use “the paperboy” which is the same thing.
@Wayne Schimmelbusch
Someone might need to correct me on this, but I thought it was Sprinteur?
@wiscot
I like the Flemish (or is it Dutch) massaspurt for bunch sprint. So much more expressive and a great metaphor. Palmares is another good one – better than “list of results.” Kelly slips it into his commentary quite often.
To my ear, massaspurt sounds like a niche skill a male pornstar might have.
@Wayne Schimmelbusch @frank
Because the French can’t sprint?
wiscot says:
I know, but wouldn’t it be fun to hear uncle Phil shout ‘And Cavendish is the king of the massaspurt!”
Great article Frank! First for what you wrote, and second because you’ve given us the opportunity to write and to learn the words we love in every language we like.
Some Italian words are not spelled correctly but it don’t mind they still sound great.
My personal favourite is “scatto”, and is exactly what Bartoli do at 0:55 of this video.

“Strade” is a fantastic word. Cool enough as to be even included in the title of a soon to be classic. And when qualified with the word “bianche” afterword denotes a Sense of Place and conjures up vivid images. That said, “gravel” and “graveling” do it for me too as the English equivalent.
Bonus – this great Phil quote:
“Sean Kelly has the bit in his teeth … try as he may, HE CANNOT find a bigger gear on the bicycle … there IS no bigger gear to be found!!! ….” Phil’s working himself into a lather watching Sean Kelly, in a two-man break into Pau in an early-80s TdF: (added 3-Aug-99)
LOVE it and can hear it in my head just reading it. I also love it when he goes crazy and starts yelling, “Look at the FACE on that man” when some pro is killing himself in the race.
But the irony of il strade is that that is what everything was as our sport was entering the golden age. Now they have to point it out and name a race after it.

Italian is about the only european stock I lack. But those folks have some fantastic terms. Scalatore is one of my favs.
English is more than 5x the size of French (in words), perhaps because of items like “Tout à droite”–perfect, direct, clear, simple.

Ahhh, Michele Bartoli. Still my favourite rider ever, he could frustrate and delight in equal measure but ALWAYS with sprezzatura.
NAME DROP COMING…Genuinely nice guy, i met him at a dinner once in Milan and he sent me a signed postcard at Chrstmas after his Italian Road Championship, must have been the English Bitter i told him he needed to drink more of! I still have it at home. That and a signed Boardman picture, post Hour Record. Actually i must dig out all that stuff, an intersting Sunday awaits.
Oct 24 2011 at 12:35 pm
@Zoncolan, @Pedale.Forchetta
Bartoli was one of my favorites ever as well; inspired me entirely to start experimenting with small frames and low bars; he always looked so beautiful on his bike with his bars down low, rolling effortlessly in the Phantom Aerobars. So awesome!!
And a fitting photo of a guy who is used to hacking people apart with his bare legs…

@frank +++++++1 always good to meet a fellow Bartoli fan. His ability to suddenly go 15km/h faster on a false flat without any perceptible change in rhythmn were beautiful to see.

Spotlight: Pompeys Pillar National Monument and Clark Days
By: Amy Krause
Experience the view Capt. William Clark witnessed more than 200 years ago.
Pompeys Pillar stands out on both the landscape of eastern Montana and in U.S. history. The 46-meter sandstone outcrop along the banks of the Yellowstone River is the site of the only known physical evidence along the path of the expedition Clark made with Meriwether Lewis from 1804 to 1806. On his return trip to St. Louis, Clark noted the formation in his expedition journal: “This rock I ascended and from its top had a most extensive view in every direction on the Northerly Side of the river high romantic Clifts approach & jut over the water for Some distance both above and below ... I marked my name and the day of the month and year." Clark named the formation Pomp’s Tower, after the nickname given to the infant son of Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who helped guide them.
Located along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, the sandstone butte was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1965 and established as a National Monument in 2001. The 530-square-meter interpretive center opened in 2006.
Pompeys Pillar National Monument is about 25 miles east of Billings, Montana. The area is easily accessible from Interstate 94, using exit 23, or from Montana Highway 312. The interpretive center, restrooms, parking lot and day use area are fully accessible. The Interpretive center is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Overnight camping is permitted only on the last Saturday night of July in celebration of Clark Days. Check with the Pompeys Pillar Historical Association for hotel and motel accommodations nearby.

Along the Riverfront
Make sure you wind your way to the sandstone butte by following the Riverwalk, representing the Yellowstone River. The Riverwalk begins in the parking lot and meanders through the interpretative center to the base of Pompeys Pillar. Signs along the path quote from Clark's journals and tell of the party’s experiences from their entry on the Yellowstone on July 15, 1806, to their encampment at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers on Aug. 3.
Enjoy a picnic or relax in the shade of cottonwood trees at the day use area next to the Yellowstone River.

Look at the Signature
Take a look at Clark’s name etched in the rock more than 200 years ago. Be aware that there are numerous other cultural, historic and natural resources that are vital to the monument and should be treated with respect.
Day use fees are less than $10 per vehicle. There is no separate fee for the interpretive center. All fees are returned to the site and used to maintain and improve the facility. All valid federal recreation passes are honored at the site.
The initials of Capt. William Clark, etched more than 210 years ago
Plan your visit for Clark Days to commemorate Clark's visit to the site on July 25, 1806, on his trip down the Yellowstone River. Activities include interpretive programs, demonstrations, nature walks and a main presentation. The Clark Days Celebration emphasizes the pillar’s Native American heritage with presentations, dancing and music performed by members of various tribes in Montana. The Saturday night of Clark Days is the only night of the year when overnight camping is allowed at the pillar.
Admission fees are waived during Clark Days, which is sponsored jointly by the Bureau of Land Management and the Friends of Pompeys Pillar. Nominal charges are made for food and refreshments.
Pillar history and heritage preserved through presentations by Native Americans
You can stand on the boardwalk atop Pompeys Pillar and identify the same landmarks Clark used to describe the site over 200 years ago. Clark’s signature was not the first marking made on Pompeys Pillar. He inscribed his name next to Native American pictographs and petroglyphs, some of which can still be seen today.
The Crow Indians called the pillar the place where the mountain lion lives. This was because there is a rock on the north face of the pillar that resembles the head of a mountain lion.

Essential Wales
Cofiwch Dryweryn merchandise sparks debate over famous slogan
'It simply reminds people about the story behind the wall'
Branwen Jones
Joshua KnapmanMultimedia Journalist
DJ Huw Stephens believes Cofiwch Dryweryn merchandise helps raise awareness (Image: S4C)
A debate has been sparked over merchandise using the Cofiwch Dryweryn slogan .
The mural, which was first painted in 1965, was a call to remember the flooding of the Welsh-speaking village of Capel Celyn.
It was first painted by the late Meic Stephens, in the hope that the drowning of the village to create a reservoir would not be forgotten.
It has been vandalised a number of times, but after the most recent damagetributes appeared all over Wales and even in America.
There has been a recent surge of Welsh businesses selling "Cofiwch Dryweryn" merchandise.
From stickers to jumpers, mugs to doorstops, the merchandise has proved popular and been sold far and wide.
However, there is a split in support - while some say it's a way of raising awareness, others say it is people "cashing in".
An example of the merchandise available (Image: COWBOIS)
Cofiwch Dryweryn spin-off painted over with swastikas
Speaking to North Wales Live , radio DJ and son of the original mural's creator, Huw Stephens, said it was a "good thing" for multiple reasons.
"It's a good thing because it simply reminds people about the story behind the wall," he said.
"It has become such an iconic piece of art in our Welsh history and culture, and it's a positive thing to come out of such a tragedy.
"On top of this, it has supported the work of so many small businesses and artists across Wales."
Is "Cofiwch Dryweryn" merchandise a good thing?
However, Eisteddfod visitor Elan Elidyr, from Aberystwyth , feared that businesses selling the merchandise were capitalising on a tragedy.
She said: "I feel that selling merchandise with the slogan on it for personal gain decreases the purpose behind the mural.
"I often wonder how many people who wear or own the merchandise actually know the history behind the reservoir, let alone the mural."
Lois Jones, also from Aberystwyth and visiting the festival, said: "I just don't understand why it is now that they choose to acknowledge and promote what happened, rather than doing so when it happened during the 1960s."
Wyn ap Gwilym is the owner of Welsh clothing shop Cowbois, which is located in Bala - only a short distance from the Tryweryn reservoir.
"Our clothing was always intended to be a bit bold and out there," he said.
"We have been selling hoodies and T-shirts with just the word 'Tryweryn' on it for a while now, and that is a reference to the village rather than the mural itself."
"The 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' mural is so important because it represents a time where the people of Wales had no power, but managed to pick themselves back up again.
"These shirts and jumpers are unique to the people of Wales, because it allows us to feel that we can 'own' that moment in history, and make it a part of our identity."
Welsh clothing shop Cowbois has been selling 'Tryweryn' shirts for years (Image: COWBOIS)
Huw Stephens recently looked into the history behind the mural in an S4C documentary that aired last week, exploring why it has become the "most famous wall in Wales".
During a recent discussion at the National Eisteddfod, the Radio One presenter explained his reasons for working on the project.
"The mural is very important to me," he said.
"With everything that has happened this year, I felt it was important to reflect that with this documentary.
"When the wall was first vandalised with the word Elvis, it was such a massive shock.
"But I found that there was no need to urge people to want to change that. They just did it anyway. It came organically.
"And it was fantastic to see the rise in similar murals across Wales and beyond.
"I'm sure my father would have been very proud of the new blood raising their voices to defend it."
Mr Stephens added: "I am hoping that the 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' merchandise will help the charity fund the wall's survival."

Up for sale from my personal collection is an extremely rare Girard Perregaux 1945 King Steel on its original steel bracelet, ref. 25830.1.11.1141. One doesn’t see the bracelet often, and this particular double-deployant and tapered version exemplifies GP’s bracelet craftsmanship. The watch case is gently curved to wrap around the wrist. The combination of the case and bracelet make the whole watch super comfortable. The dial features gorgeous dauphin hands and a sub-seconds register at the 9:30 position. I am the first owner. The watch is in outstanding cosmetic and operational condition. It measures approximately 32 x 48 mm (excluding crown) and is approximately 11mm thick. I would conservatively rate it at TZ Near Mint (93-96%) condition. Comes complete with inner and outer boxes, operating instructions, international warranty card, and as well as extra links, all as shown.
Price is $3500 shipped by USPS Priority Mail in CONUS with insurance and payment via PayPal to a verified address. No sales outside of CONUS and no trades or lowball offers, please. Thanks for looking. Alex

In 1791, watchmaker and goldsmith Jean-François Bautte signed his first watches. He created a manufacturing company in Geneva grouping, for the first time ever, all the watch making facets of that time, which meant starting from the engineering of the watch all the way to the final hand assembly and hand polishing of each watch. In 1852, the watchmaker Constant Girard founded the Girard & Cie Firm in La Chaux-de-Fonds. He, then, married Marie Perregaux and the Girard-Perregaux Manufacture was born in 1856. In 1906, Constant Girard-Gallet, who took over control of the Manufacture from his father, took over the Bautte House and merged it with Girard-Perregaux & Cie. Since then, the brand has pursued its activities by reinforcing from the 1980s its position in the domain of prestigious mechanical watches, Haute Horlogerie, under the lead of Luigi Macaluso. In 2011, Sowind Group, the holding incorporating Girard-Perregaux, became a subsidiary of Kering.
Constant Girard produced the first ever major commercial production of a wristwatch, made for German naval officers and ordered by German Kaiser Wilhelm I. The Manufacture has approximately 80 patents in the watch-making domain and is the originator of many innovative concepts.

Lollapalooza: What You Need To Know
Blair Paddock
Rob Grabowski/Invision/AP
Festival goers appear at Lollapalooza in Grant Park on Thursday, Aug 2, 2018 in Chicago.
Lollapalooza kicks off Thursday, bringing tens of thousands of people to downtown Chicago the next four days.
The music festival has everything from electronic to indie to hip-hop. But with so many acts and stages to choose from, planning can get a bit hectic.
Here’s a guide to help out with the logistics so the only thing you have to worry about is which band to see.
When and where is the fest?
Lollapalooza is going on Thursday through Sunday. It runs from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. each day. It’s spread out in downtown Chicago’s Grant Park near the lakefront.
Can I get a last-minute ticket?
On Wednesday you can still buy Thursday, Friday or Sunday general admission tickets for $130. If you buy after Wednesday, it’ll cost $138. Saturday general admission tickets are sold out, but Lollapalooza has a ticket resale site. There also are four-day general admission tickets available on the resale site.
Who’s playing?
Headliners include Ariana Grande, Tame Impala and the Chainsmokers. There will be some local acts too, like Saba, Beach Bunny and Smino.
What about food?
There will be over 30 vendors during the festival, including Harold’s Chicken, Cheesie’s Pub & Grub and XO Marshmallow. There will be vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.
What’s going on with traffic?
It’ll be difficult to get around Grant Park during the fest. Balbo and Jackson are closed from Michigan to Columbus. Ida B. Wells is closed from Michigan to Columbus. Eastbound Monroe will be closed from Columbus to Lake Shore Drive. City officials say traffic will be back to normal on Tuesday.
What are my mass transit options?
Metra and the CTA will expand capacity for Lolla. Metra will add trains and adjust schedules for most lines. The CTA will increase service on train lines and bus routes.
Any other questions? Lollapalooza has answers on their website.

Judge grants temporary restraining order against Water Works price hike
<p>File photo</p>
CINCINNATI -- A judge on Thursday granted the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners a temporary restraining order against Greater Cincinnati Water Works, which had recently proposed a significant rate increase for customers outside the city of Cincinnati.
The restraining order granted by Judge Robert Ruehlman, which argues that raising the rate now would be "arbitrary and capricious" as well as "irreparably" harming township residents, prohibits City Council from immediately approving the 18 percent increase requested by Water Works. Instead, it calls for a water task force including both city and county representatives to examine what a reasonable price might look like.
Water Works has argued since the proposal -- which would charge people who live in townships and villages 1.43 times what Cincinnatians pay for water, rather than the current multiplier of 1.25 -- that it represents a well-researched adjustment and not the extravagant imposition opponents have depicted. In fact, it's only asking townships to pay their dues.
"If the rate multiplier is not increased, City residents will continue to pay a disproportionate share" of maintenance costs for other communities' service, Water Works head Cathy Bailey wrote in an Aug. 23 memo .
However, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners was less than convinced. Todd Portune called it "unfair and inequitable" shortly after the announcement, and Thursday's restraining order indicates the board still isn't willing to budge.
"This could have been accomplished a long time ago but Cincinnati Water Works chose to close
down the contractually obligated task force and develop new township rates with virtually no
guidance from the task force”, Hamilton County Township Association president and Sycamore Township trustee Tom Weidman said in a news release.
According to the release, both sides of the issue will meet in court Sept. 12 to make their respective cases and seek a path forward.

Eddie Vedder surprises boy with life-changing genetic disorder at WE Day California
WE Day shines a spotlight on EB Research Partnership, co-founded by Pearl Jam frontman and wife, Jill Vedder, and how it’s changed the life of a six-year-old from San Diego.
The plastic, hot from the summer sun, bends at your feet and propels you into the sky, soaring so high you feel like you can touch the clouds. Without a doubt, jumping on a trampoline is one of the most blissful activities of childhood.
For six-year-old Eli Meyer, this joyous pastime comes with cuts, blisters and shorn skin.
The sweet-natured San Diegan was born with epidermolysis bullosa—EB for short—a group of genetic disorders that affect the skin. EB is caused by a gene mutation that leaves those who have the condition unable to produce the proteins that bind the skin’s two layers together. Without these vital proteins, the skin is incredibly fragile and can easily tear, blister and erode from even the most minor of abrasions. This means Eli spends hours each day cleaning wounds and changing bandages.
Roughly 500,000 people around the world live with EB; there is no known cure.
Eli, though, has hope—a trait he shares with WE, a movement led by young optimists like him. By encouraging youth to turn hope into action, WE empowers them to create positive change on causes close to their heart. Through WE, people are inspired to tackle daunting or seemingly impossible goals, like stifling homelessness, or shaping a more inclusive world for those with EB.
“I’m just a regular kid,” says Eli, “but I have epidermolysis bullosa.”
Eli was adopted from China when he was four years old. His family knew he had EB, but it didn’t matter; Eli was their son.
“Eli is a superhero to me,” gushes big sister Lily. “It makes me sad when people stare or point at him.”
Growing tired of the way strangers treated her little brother, Lily started a social media campaign called “Come say hi,” to educate people about EB while encouraging them to be more accepting of people’s differences.
It’s Lily’s campaign that first caught the attention of WE, landing the siblings, along with mom, Michelle, on stage at WE Day California.
That day, Eli couldn’t open his eyes because of a corneal abrasion, but he still got on stage—amongst celebrities like Natalie Portman, Selena Gomez and Chance the Rapper—to share his story and hear the 16,000 youth in the crowd shout out excitedly: “Hi, Eli!”
Instead of being singled out for his differences, the young change-makers in the WE Day audience embraced Eli. No one was asking his mother what was wrong with him or if he was contagious. The plucky Californian was the centre of attention and being celebrated on stage for his remarkable spirit and inspiring life journey.
This is where Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder comes in.
Eddie and his wife, Jill, are co-founders of EB Research Partnership (EBRP), the largest non-profit that funds research to treat and cure EB.
Eddie surprised the Meyers on stage with a personal video telling them how moved he was by their story, before thanking them for their work on spreading awareness around EB. Jill, who helped walk Eli down the blue carpet (WE’s take on the red carpet) before the show, beamed with pride as she watched the young man under the spotlight.
“Eli is such a sweetheart. Lily is exactly right—instead of staring and making these kids feel uncomfortable, go up and say hi, make them feel like a friend,” says Jill. “They’re a cool duo, those two.”
The Vedders have a personal connection to EB; Jill’s childhood friend has a son with the condition. As soon as the couple learned about the devastating disease, they knew they had to get involved and help find a cure.
“EB is brutal. It’s so unbelievably painful and horrific to watch what these kids are going through,” says Jill, who acts as vice chairman of EBRP. “But we believe—the researchers believe—that we can cure it.”
Since its inception in 2014, EBRP has raised $25 million in the quest for a cure (gene editing is a promising treatment). Jill estimates that there were only two clinical trials underway when they first launched; now there are upwards of 20.
According to EBRP, there are roughly 5,400 other incurable genetic diseases that could also benefit from the ground-breaking gene-therapy techniques being developed by the organization. Jill concludes, “Cure EB, cure them all.”
People with EB are often called “butterfly children” because their skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. Just as a butterfly can still flutter with a damaged wing, Eli won’t let his wounds stop him from soaring, on a trampoline or in life.

The conflict in Syria has raged for more than eight years with no political solution in sight, although the situation on the ground has substantively evolved, mainly due to military actions. Protracted violence as well as the overall impact of the long crisis continues to hit daily lives and exacerbate the vulnerability of both Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and host communities, particularly children, women, the elderly, youth and the disabled. The conflict has resulted in widespread displacement and deterioration of security conditions. In addition, it has torn apart the unique social and economic fabric of Syria, compounding immediate suffering, and compromising country’s long-term future. The conflict is estimated to have claimed over 450,000 lives and over half of the population is estimated to have been displaced either inside or outside the country, while the number of persons of concern inside Syria is estimated to be 13.1 million. The increasingly complex political situation has also added to the plight of the Syrian people and dimmed prospects for peace.
UNDP in its efforts to provide critical support to the Syrian people has initiated its Resilience Project supporting affected Syrians through assistance to rehabilitation of basic social infrastructure, emergency employment and other livelihood assistance in 11 governorates. UNDP has placed its country programme document based on resilience-based approach that is integral and complements humanitarian response. This is because resilience-based approach is critical to strengthen communities coping mechanisms and promote early recovery through addressing immediate needs of the affected people through rehabilitation of basic services, infrastructure, livelihoods and socio-economic recovery. However, and equally important, a resilience approach also seeks to maintain the social fabric of communities against defragmentation, increase communities‘ ability to manage internal conflict peacefully and mitigate community security threats and violence. Resilience is also strengthened by ensuring solidarity through bringing communities together, sharing experiences and fostering ownership for solutions and a vision of a joint future.

The Ethics in the Scriptum on the Sentences
Last Updated on Thu, 04 Apr 2019 | Thomas Aquinas
The Lasting Happiness And Success Formula
In the version generally received, each of the four books of Thomas's Scriptum on the Sentences draws on the whole of Nicomachean Ethics.68 They do not do so equally or uniformly. The subject-matter of the first book overlaps least with the Ethics, so it is not surprising that it contains the fewest citations. The second book of the Scriptum contains four times as many, the
67 See Gauthier in the Leonine Opera omnia, 47/1:254*-256*.
68 I must leave aside the complicated questions about subsequent redactions of the text of the Scriptum. Hence, I take the Mandonnet and Moos text, less the passages omitted by the Parma edition, as substantially reproducing the text of the Scriptum at the time of its first public circulation.
third book eight times. What may be surprising is that the fourth book, in which the densely theological subject matter would seem not to require any lessons from pagan ethics, contains many more citations than the second book and almost as many as the third. The explanation for this is connected to the explanation for the lack of uniformity in citation. Thomas's uses of the Ethics are clustered around certain specific topics. In each of Books 3 and 4, for example, more than half of the citations are contained in ten percent of the distinctions. A single distinction of the third book contains 125 citations or 13 percent of the total for the whole of the Scriptum.69
The clustering of citations will appear more striking when citations are sorted by their specific importance to the construction of the argument. A citation to Aristotle in an objection (argumentum) is often less telling than a citation in a sed contra or the corpus of an article, but a citation in the corpus will often lie to one side of the point at issue. The citation may support a general maxim, explain a peripheral matter, or provide the other term for an analogy. A statistical summary of citations may raise questions about Thomas's deployment of Aristotle, but by itself it will not settle them because it cannot sort the citations by function. Let me sample instead some types of uses, with a few examples for each taken only from Scriptum 1. I can then turn to the types most important for understanding Thomas's reading of Aristotle and to more substantive texts in later books. I stress these are neither "ideal types" nor elements in a scheme of classification meant to cover all of Thomas's works. They are illustrations of the range of functions that citations to Aristotle are called to perform while Thomas writes.
(1) A first type of citation is a learned allusion - an overflowing of erudition. Thomas's writing is mostly free of such gestures, but there are exceptions. For example, in glossing the Lombard's prologue, Thomas cites both the Poetics and the Metaphysics to argue that a fable fabula) is made up of wonders - this in reference to 2 Timothy 4.70 The single such use of the Ethics in Scriptum 1 might be a reference to Aristotle's remark that small things cannot be beautiful.71 The citation is incorporated into a Dionysian and Augustinian justification of Hilary's appropriation of qualities to the Persons of the Trinity. It looks to be more excessive association than argument.72
69 Scriptum Sent. 3.33.
70 Scriptum Sent. 1. prol. divisio textus.
71 Scriptum Sent. 1.31.2.1 solutio.
72 Valkenberg warns rightly about treating any citation as merely "ornamental." He shows as well the limits of any rigid classification of auctoritates. See Wilhelmus G. B. M. Valkenberg, Words of the Living God: Place and Function of Holy Scripture in the Theology of St Thomas Aquinas (Leuven: Peeters, 2000), pp. 44-48. My own typology is, I hope, sufficiently tentative and ad hoc to escape his justified criticisms.
(2) A second kind of citation is specious so far as it depends on a superficial misreading of some fragment from Aristotle. This type of citation occurs most often in objections or "doubts" (dubia) about the Lombard's letter. The first example comes in the first distinction of Scriptum 1. An argument there is buttressed by what Thomas takes to be a misconstrual of Aristotle's remarks on prudence in Ethics 6.73 The Aristotelian remarks are being used to construct an analogy with the Augustinian notion of "use" (uti). Thomas does not reject the analogy, but he does correct a misunderstanding of the relation of prudence to the will according to Aristotle.74 A similarly disputative example, not involving analogy, misuses Aristotle's definition of counsel (consilium).75
(3) A third sort of citation to the Ethics establishes a general point in no way specific to ethical matter or to Aristotle. An early example in the Scriptum comes when Ethics 1 is invoked, after Boethius, to establish that each kind of science should proceed according to the consideration of its matter.76 Other examples would be citations in support of assertions that God delights and that God cannot undo the past.77 In such citations, Aristotle serves as a convenient but not indispensable authority. He offers a clear or memorable formulation of what could be supported from many other authors.
(4) Citations of a fourth type are more specifically Aristotelian, but they support a peripheral point. There is a good example in the first article of Scriptum 1, within the dispute over whether human minds need instruction beyond "physical bodies of learning."78 While arguing that such a teaching is necessary, Thomas mentions that the incomplete contemplation of God attainable through creatures is said by Aristotle to be the source of contemplative happiness — that is, Thomas explains, the happiness of the wayfarer.79 The doctrine is specifically (though not exclusively) Aristotelian, but it is not integral to the argument here.
(5) A fifth group of citations supplies a general maxim or rule that can be used in a wide variety of ethical contexts. These are among the most frequent and most interesting of the substantive uses of Aristotle, since they contribute to the vocabularies and schemata within which Thomas
75 Scriptum Sent. 1.5 expositio textus.
76 Scriptum Sent. 1. prol. 1.5 solutio.
77 Respectively, Scriptum Sent. 1.8 expositio secundae textus and 1.39.1.1 arg. 1.
78 Scriptum Sent. 1. prol. 1.1 titulus.
articulates his teaching on almost any point. A good example from Scriptum 1 is the use of the Ethics to support the distinction between operation (opera-tio) and motion (motus).80
(6) The sixth and final kind of citation, by far the most important, is both specifically Aristotelian and essential to Thomas's ethical purposes. Examples are the Scriptum's second and third citations of the Ethics. Here Aristotle's Book 6 is used to establish the number of speculative habits and the character of wisdom. Both assertions are integral to the determination of the article, which concerns theology as speculative and practical.81 Both invoke typically Aristotelian arguments. Thomas will also use Aristotle in this way when arguing that delight follows upon habit and that a good act requires three things: will or choice, a proper end, and firmness in performance.82
The list of six types of citations is not complete, but it should establish the main point. Thomas's citations of Aristotle's Ethics range from ornamental and specious to pertinent and important. The impression that "Aristotle is everywhere" whenever Thomas turns to ethics has to be corrected by noticing that Aristotle is not everywhere the same. Only the fifth and sixth types of citation, the generally or specifically constructive uses, are immediately pertinent to assessing Thomas's reading of the Ethics. They show his incorporation of Aristotelian terminology and argument into the analysis of inherited theological materials. They also mark an interesting departure from the immediately preceding Sentences-commentaries of Albert and Bonaventure, in both the boldness and explicitness of their reliance on the Aristotelian Ethics.
Important constructive uses of the Ethics are found in those sections of Scriptum 2, 3, and 4 that treat the Lombard's scattered remarks on moral matters - though not only of them. Thomas relies on Aristotle's notions of justice while discussing the adoration of the humanity of Christ.83 Aristotle's teaching on friendship appears in every discussion of charity, as his definitions of fortitude figure in articles on the Holy Spirit's gifts.84 Many more citations fall where one would expect them, in discussions of sin, grace, free choice and will, the virtues, repentance, contemplation, and happiness.85
80 Scriptum Sent. 1.4.1.1 solutio, 1.7.1.1 ad 3, 1.37.4.1. Notice that the three passages cite two different texts in the Ethics, 5.4-6 and 10.3, in support of the same maxim.
81 Scriptum Sent. 1. prol. 1.3.3 solutio. Compare the equally integral citations in 1.1.1 solutio and ad 1.
82 Respectively, Scriptum Sent. 1.17.1.4 solutio and 1.46 expositio textus.
83 Scriptum Sent. 3.9.1.
84 Respectively, Scriptum Sent. 2.27-29 for the main treatment, but see also 1.17 and 3.34.
85 Scriptum Sent. 2.22, 2.39, 2.42, 2.44 (sin); 2.24, 2.27 (grace); 2.25, 2.38-39, 2.44 (will); 3.23, 3.33, 3.36, 4.14 (virtues); 4.14-17 (repentance); 3.35 (contemplation); and 4.49 (happiness).
From this range, I would like to take only a single example, out of Scriptum 3.33. This is the distinction that contains, just by itself, some 125 explicit citations to the Ethics. The reason for this is that Thomas here interjects within the Lombard's sequence of topics an examination of moral virtue.86
The Lombard enumerates the cardinal virtues and provides a few definitions for them, but his main concern is with their survival into the afterlife. Thomas uses the enumeration as an occasion for offering a fuller doctrine of the moral virtues, including the cardinal virtues and their parts. In doing so, he goes considerably further than either Albert or Bonaventure do when explicating this passage. Albert's commentary on the Sentences, which would have been finished before the circulation of Grosseteste's anthology, offers four articles on the number, name, differences, and survival of the cardinal virtues.87 The Nicomachean Ethics is cited only six times in two of these articles.88 Only one of these citations could be regarded as programmatic; it concerns the order of treatment of virtues in the Ethics.89 Bonaventure undertakes a more extended discussion of the Lombard's passage, including questions on the unity, locus, sufficiency, origin, and permanence of the cardinal virtues.90 He also alludes to the Ethics somewhat more frequently, though many of the allusions are implicit or anonymous.91 Bonaventure's manner of citation is also noteworthy. Though his commentary would have been finished at Paris well after the material from Grosseteste became available, he continues to cite the Ethics in the old manner.92 By contrast to his immediate predecessors, Thomas introduces three Questions with 13 Articles on the moral virtues in common, then the cardinal virtues, then the parts of the cardinal virtues.93 It is by far the longest distinction in Scriptum 3.94
Even in this lengthy discussion, which refers to Aristotle's Ethics on most pages, it is not easy to distinguish the functions of the citations. Many of
86 This is not the first discussion of virtue as such in the Sentences-commentary. That has already come at Scriptum Sent. 2.27.1—6.
87 Albert, Super libros Sententiarum 3.33.1—4 (Borgnet Opera omnia 28:606—615); on the dating, Tugwell, Albert and Thomas, p. 11.
88 Albert, Super libros Sententiarum 3.33.1 arg. 7—8 and ad 7—9 (Borgnet Opera omnia 28:606, 608), 3.33.3 arg. 5 and ad 5 (28:610-611).
89 Albert, Super libros Sententiarum 3.33.3 ad 5 (Borgnet Opera omnia 28:611).
90 Bonaventure, Super libros Sententiarum 3.33.1.1-6 (Quaracchi 3:712-731).
91 For example, Bonaventure, Super libros Sententiarum 3.33.1.2 objs. 3-5 and ad 5 (Quaracchi 3:713-714), 3.33.1.3 sed contra 3 (3:716), 3.33.1.5 sed contra 4 (3:722), 3.33.1.5 dubium 3 (3:729).
92 For example, Bonaventure, Super libros Sententiarum 3.33.1.3 sed contra 1: "according to what the Philosopher says at the end of the New Ethics" (Quaracchi 3:716).
93 Scriptum Sent. 3.33.1-3.
94 The next longest are dd.3 and 34, which are each about two-thirds the length of d.33.
them are convenient tags in the construction of the dialectic. Almost half figure in objections, and some of them pass back and forth between objections, determinations, and answers to objections.95 In a few places, an authoritative text from Aristotle is deemed sufficient, by itself, to constitute a sed contra, but Aristotle's texts are hardly given unique authority.96 The last question of this distinction lines up divisions of the cardinal virtues from Aristotle, Cicero, Macrobius, and anonymous Greek philosophers, whom Thomas knows through Grosseteste - that is, through Albert.97 Aristotelian terminology receives no privilege within the series. In other passages, indeed, Thomas remarks on the limited scope of Aristotle's inquiry. The Philosopher speaks, he says, of the acquired virtues that complete human life in the earthly city.98 Just above, Thomas has invoked Macrobius's three-step transposition of the virtues of the active life onto the contemplative.99 Aristotle's ethical texts are something like a local account bounded not just by the Gospel, but by neo-Platonic moral hierarchies. Aristotle helps much, but in comparison even with other philosophy he can help just so far.
Thomas's complex appropriation of Aristotle appears not only when he is juxtaposing sources. Aristotle figures importantly in the construction of certain doctrines, but not of others. He is the main authority for arguing that the virtues are found in the mean, as he is when describing the matters of the various cardinal virtues.100 Aristotle is not an important authority for establishing the number and names of the cardinal virtues, their locus, or their relation to prudence.101 Moreover, and decisively, Thomas qualifies Aristotelian doctrine about virtues at every turn with theological teaching. Experience establishes the Aristotelian tenet that virtues are acquired by practice, but we also need infused moral virtues to be ordered to our highest end, and these differ in species from the acquired.102 All the kinds of virtues lie in the mean, except for the theological - that is, the most impor-tant.103 Acquired moral virtues, being the virtues of the earthly city, do not remain in heaven; infused virtues do.104 Reason appropriately rules over the
95 For example, Ethics 2.2 (1004b4) is used in Scriptum Sent. 3.33.1.2.2 solutio and 3.33.2.2.2 arg. 3. Ethics 5.7 (1123b30) is used in 3.33.2.1.4 arg. 2 and 3.33.3.3.4 solutio. Ethics 6.14 (1138al) is used in 3.33.3.1.1 ad 2 and 3.33.2.4 solutio, and 3.33.2.5 arg. 6.
96 Scriptum Sent. 3.33.1.3.1 sed contra 1, 3.33.2.2.2 sed contra 1, 3.33.2.2.3 sed contra 1.
100 Respectively, Scriptum Sent. 3.33.1.3.1-3 and 3.33.2.2.1-3.
101 Respectively, Scriptum Sent. 3.33.2.1.1-4, 3.33.2.4.1-4, 3.33.2.5.
103 Scriptum Sent. 3.33.1.3.4 solutio.
104 Scriptum Sent. 3.33.1.4 solutio.
acquired moral virtues, but the highest infused virtue, namely charity, resides in the will and commands reason.105 At all these points, the Aristotelian doctrine is subordinated to other teaching in order to be corrected by it.
Three conclusions can be gathered from the citations to Aristotle's Ethics in Thomas's Scriptum. First, there is irreducible variety in Thomas's manner of using citations. Second, the Aristotelian citations are juxtaposed with other authorities of all kinds. Third, Thomas subsumes the variously deployed and unevenly distributed Aristotelian authorities within a framework that is not theirs.

TVA’s power shift spurs debate over wind, gas
Credit: By Dave Flessner | Times Free Press | August 12th, 2014 | www.timesfreepress.com ~~
Environmental groups in the Tennessee Valley are on the verge of winning their third major battle against TVA’s coal-fired power plants.
But anti-coal activists are still fighting a larger war against fossil fuel generation of any type by the federal utility.
In a teleconference Monday ahead of next week’s decision by TVA to shut down its Allen coal plant in Memphis, a coalition of the state’s biggest environmental groups urged TVA not to simply replace the Allen coal plant with a similar or bigger natural gas power plant.
TVA already replaced its coal plant at its John Sevier plant in Tennessee with a combined cycle natural gas plant three years ago and TVA is now building a similar $1 billion natural gas plant to replace its oldest units at the Paradise Fossil Plant in Kentucky. TVA’s staff has suggested TVA again turn to natural gas to replace the Allen Steam Plant because gas-fired generation would be cleaner than coal and cheaper than renewable sources like wind or solar generation.
TVA directors will be asked on Aug. 21 to adopt a fiscal 2015 budget that includes funding for a natural gas plant to replace the Allen Steam Plant. TVA Chief Financial Officer John Thomas said the proposal is part of $3 billion of capital projects TVA is considering for next year in the biggest capital spending year in the utility’s 81-year history.
But environmentalists want TVA to slow down before building another major gas plant just because natural gas prices are now very favorable.
“TVA has a lot cleaner and better options in Memphis than simply building another major natural gas plant to replace Allen,” said Stephen Smith, executive director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
A Houston company, Clean Line Energy Partners, is working with the Southwest Power Administration to build a direct-current transmission line to carry 3,500 megawatts of wind power from Oklahoma and Texas to Memphis within the next three to four years. The Sierra Club in Tennessee also wants TVA to do more to buy locally produced solar and wind power, as well as to encourage more energy conservation and efficiency.
“We shouldn’t just substitute one form of fossil fuel generation for another when there are other options,” said Scott Banbury, conservation coordinator for the Tennessee Chapter of the Sierra Club. “Gas may be cheap right now, but it is going to get more expensive.”
Building a major natural gas plant in Memphis would lock TVA into gas-fired generation for decades, Banbury said.
In an environmental assessment of the Allen Steam Plant prepared earlier this year, TVA’s staff recommended that TVA build a gas-fired plant to replace the 990-megawatt Allen plant, which Memphis Light Gas and Water built in the 1950s as a gas plant and later converted to coal before selling the power plant to TVA in 1984. Under one option, TVA might build a combined-cycle natural gas plant of up to 1,400 megawatts to replace Allen by the end of 2018.
In a recent letter to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., TVA said natural gas generation last year for TVA averaged $39 per megawatthour, or less than half of the $80-per-megawatt cost of wind generation.
Wind supporters insist that wind power will continue to get cheaper as technology improves while natural gas could go up in price as more utilities burn more gas and Russian unrest creates new European demand for natural gas supplies.
Clean Line Energy, which is proposing to build a 700-mile transmission line to the western edge of the Tennessee Valley, estimates that wind energy could be delivered to TVA for $40 to $60 per megawatt. Once the windmills are built, there would be no rising “fuel costs” for TVA to absorb.
Lazard Freres and Co. LLC, a financial advisory firm that studies wind generation, estimates that wind generation could drop to $23 per megawatthour with continued federal production credits.
“The cost of wind generation continues to go down so we are very optimistic about our project,” Clean Line Energy Executive Director Jimmy Glotfelty said Monday.
Clean Line is trying to get the U.S. Department of Energy to approve a joint project with the Southwestern Power Administration for the $2 billion transmission line to be built from the plains of Texas and Oklahoma where the wind blows more steadily to TVA connection points in Memphis. The proposed route would involve $300 million of investment in West Tennessee and is projected to spark $7 billion of new wind mill construction in the Great Plains, Glotfelty said.
Sen. Alexander has questioned the reliability of such wind generation and the security of transmission over such a great distance. TVA said it is still studying wind power and hasn’t received a detailed offer yet from Clean Line Energy.
TVA also is studying other wind, solar, geothermal and renewable energy alternatives as part of its ongoing Integrated Resource Plan.
John Wilson, research director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, said his studies indicate that TVA would be better off with a mix of gas, renewable generation and conservation to replace the Allen plant.
Wilson said the TVA board may need to move ahead with some limited gas-fired generation for reliability in Memphis once the Allen coal plant is shuttered. But he said TVA should wait on its integrated resource plan to guide more of its future energy generation.

DEFTONES:
DIAMOND EYES (CD) (CD) 2010
KOI NO YOKAN (CD) (CD) 2012
GORE (DIGI) (CD) 2016
GORE VINYL (2LP) (LP) 2016
Artist: DEFTONES
Album: "SATURDAY NIGHT WRIST (CD)"
- The New Album Featuring “Hole In The Earth” and “Cherry Waves” [!]
Label: Warner
Genre: Crossover/ Nu Metal, Alternative Rock/ Metal/ Post Grunge/ Drone
At the spearhead of the Nu-Metal Alternative 90s Rock wave, Sacramento's DEFTONES forced their attentions onto the American public with a series of supports to the likes of KORN, BAD BRAINS and WHITE ZOMBIE. The group had been forged whilst at high school by frontman Chino Moreno (then going under the title 'Wong'- his real name is Camillo Wong Moreno), guitarist Stephen Carpenter, bass player Chi Cheng and original drummer John Taylor. The latter would decamp after a few years joining PRAYER WHEEL. Abe Cunningham of PHALLUCY would step in as a deputy, a position made more permanent as time elapsed.
The group signed up to the mighty Maverick label for debut effort 'Adrenaline'. Although bolstered by major label support, videos for 'Bored' and '7 Words' and healthy media praise the album passed by most listeners. Moreno would also put in a duet with Jonathon Davies on KORN's second album 'Follow The Leader'.
With the release of 1997's Terry Date produced 'Around The Fur', which included a cover version of DURAN DURAN's 'The Chauffeur'. DEFTONES broke big with huge selling singles 'My Own Summer (Shove It)'- also forming part of 'The Matrix' movie soundtrack- and 'Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)'. The album also saw a contribution from SOULFLY's Max Cavalera. A heavy touring schedule would find the band as part of the 'Vans Warped' touring festival and as road mates to both LIMP BIZKIT and WILL HAVEN.
1998 found DEFTONES contributing their version of 'To Have And To Hold' for a DEPECHE MODE tribute album.
Moreno contributed guest vocals for one track on the SEVENDUST album. The singer appeared under the pseudonym of Pony 1, actually a mis-heard 'Pony Wong'.
As 1999 opened DEFTONES joined the billing as support, alongside PANTERA, to the mighty BLACK SABBATH. Moreno would also be revealed to be contributing lead vocal tracks to BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi's IOMMI project album. The ensuing tour would put it's fair share of strain on the band though as Cheng was forced out after doctor's insisted on surgery for a damaged left foot. Sergio Vega of QUICKSAND took the role as a temporary fill in. The tribulations did not end there though and on Valentine's day the band's equipment truck was stolen from outside of a Holiday Inn in Michigan. Most of the gear would be recovered in a pawn shop in Detroit.
The mellower even ambient influenced 'White Pony', once more produced by Date, saw DEFTONES officially inducting DJ Frank Delgado as a fifth member. The record witnessed a vocal collaboration with TOOL frontman Maynard James Keenan on the track 'Passenger'. The album debuted on the Billboard charts at no. 3 and fans were enticed further with limited edition 'Red' and 'Black' jewel case variants both boasting multimedia tracks and an exclusive bonus audio cut 'The Boy's Republic'.
Singles culled from the album included 'Change (In The House Of Flies)' and follow up 'Back To School', both enormous radio hits. With sales of 'White Pony' pressing the million mark in America DEFTONES set out on a headline tour backed by GODSMACK and PUDDLE OF MUDD.
A co-headline tour of America in alliance with GODSMACK throughout the summer of 2001 was hastily pulled when Doctors advised Moreno that he was in grave danger of serious throat damage. The DEFTONES gigs in San Francisco Shoreline Amphitheatre on July 17th, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on the 18th and the show in San Diego Sports Arena show on the 20th were all pulled from the schedule.
In DEFTONES downtime Cunnigham would reconvene his former band PHALLUCY resurrecting old recordings for the album 'Valium'. Moreno would also get to grips with a side project founding TEAM SLEEP with guitarist Todd Wilkinson and DJ Crook. The Terry Date produced TEAM SLEEP record would also see erstwhile FAITH NO MORE vocalist Mike Patton enrolled as well as HOLE bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur.
Delgado too got busy on an outside venture formulating the Hip Hop combo THE CO-DEFENDANTS with DJ Crook and DJ Epik.
Carpenter would not be left out founding not one but two extracurricular ventures. The first of these, KUSH created in cahoots with FEAR FACTORY's Christian Olde Wolbers on bass and Raymond Herrara on drums along with B-Real of CYPRESS HILL, put in their first live performance on the 11th of June at Hollywood's Club Vinyl.
The same night Carpenter and B-Real would debut their other act LOS MARIJUANOS, another all star combo in alliance with percussionist Bo Bo of CYPRESS HILL, guitarist Rogelio Lazano of DOWNSET and bassist Marty O'Brein from METHOD OF MAYHEM. This band would subsequently evolve to become MARY JANE'S BOYFRIEND adding JANE'S ADDICTION drummer Stephen Perkins.
In the studio meanwhile Carpenter would guest on the debut CHIMAIRA album. Moreno's TEAM SLEEP and Cunningham's PHALLUCY would ally themselves for a December American tour.
The DEFTONES contributed a previously unreleased track entitled 'The Boy's Republic' to the 'MTV Road Rules: Don't Make Me Pull This Thing Over — Volume 1' compilation in the summer of 2002. Upfront of an eponymous new album for 2003, which shifted 167,355 copies in its first sales week to land at no. 2 in the Billboard charts, the band engaged in what they styled "guerrilla" gigs in May, club dates announced just one day prior to the actual concert. The group then hooked up with the gargantuan 'Summer Sanitarium' arena tour with METALLICA, LINKIN PARK, LIMP BIZKIT and MUDVAYNE in July. The band missed the Minneapolis Metrodome gig after Chino Moreno suffered a groin injury. Subsequent European dates had the band partnered with A PERFECT CIRCLE.
The DEFTONES geared up for release of a new album, produced by industry veteran Bob Ezrin, with a burst of West Coast dates commencing 28th September at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles to showcase new songs. Support was apparently to come from veteran Thrash Metal band DEATH ANGEL. However, the band was pulled from these shows and replaced by DREDG, apparently because this news was leaked prematurely. Announcing a shift towards more riff orientared material, the group projected a recording date of early November, honing their album in Connecticut.
Stephen Carpenter would work as producer for Orange County's SCARS OF TOMORROW during April 2005. Back in the charts, the October release 'B-Sides & Rarities', a compilation of import-only B-sides, cover versions, unreleased mixes and other rarities, sold just under 27,000 copies in its first week of sale to debut at number 42 on the Billboard US album chart.
Throughout February and into April 2006 the band joined the 'Taste Of Chaos' US and Canadian festival tour alongside a mammoth billing comprising THRICE, ATREYU, AS I LAY DYING, STORY OF THE YEAR, DREDG, SILVERSTEIN, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, PELICAN, , THE RECEIVING END OF SIRENS, THE CONFESSION, ADAIR, STREET DRUM CORPS, GREELEY ESTATES, MILLIONAIRE and THE SMASHUP. The group then jumped onto the KORN headlined 'Family Values' festivals for the summer, sharing a bill including STONE SOUR, FLYLEAF and DIR EN GREY.
In November 'Saturday Night Wrist' sold 76,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release to land at number 10 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Click Your Way To Wellness
Use the web to boost your health with this expert-backed guide
By Kelly Mickle
Peter Dazeley/Getty Images
If the first place you go when you feel a new pain is straight to your computer, you're not alone. As many as 59% of adults surf the Internet for medical advice, and more than one-third use the web to self-diagnose a medical condition, according to a recent study. That's (mostly) good news: The more educated you are about your body, the better you're able to take care of yourself and communicate with your doctor. But there's also a lot of misleading information online, so follow these simple rules to stay safe and get the best insights.
1. Go beyond ".com." Instead of visiting .coms you've never heard of, favor web addresses ending in .org, .gov or .edu. That means they're likely hosted by well-established medical associations, nonprofits, government agencies and universities. (There are exceptions to this rule, like WebMD.com, but in general, this method is a quick way to find reputable sites that may contain more trustworthy tips and articles.)
2. Be specific. Type "stomachache" into your search engine and you'll get an overwhelming volume and variety of possibilities ranging from indigestion to pregnancy, celiac disease or even cancer. Plus, the first few results are often sponsored, so they're paying for prime placement and are not always solid sources. Instead, go directly to a search field on a trusted site, such as Mayo Clinic (MayoClinic.org) and enter a full phrase or sentence ("stomach pain with fever"). You'll get more accurate suggestions if you enter additional descriptive details.

3. Use an alternate email address. Some sites may ask you to register, but you should only need to provide a name and an email address—at most. (Be wary of sites that prompt you to submit further personal information.) For that reason, it's worth setting up an extra address that you don't use for daily, personal email.
4. Ask about a patient portal. If your doctor or hospital offers electronic records (most large health systems do), they likely have a patient portal as well. This is a dedicated online area that contains your personal files as well as updated general health information that you can access and browse by signing up and logging in. Check with your healthcare provider to see if that's an option for you. (Some portals will even include tailored advice based on your health conditions or medications.)

What's up, Doc? A recent study found that 70% of people planned to ask their physician questions about information they found online, and 50% said they intended to make at least one request to their healthcare provider based on it. It's a smart idea to initiate a conversation with your physician about Internet info at your next appointment because she can offer insight and expertise before you self-diagnose or start to worry about a health condition.

The Type of Food Packaging That Helps You Eat Less
Try this trick to make sure you don’t overdo it with the candy jar
By Elizabeth Narins
Food manufactures know that packaging plays a huge role in what people choose to buy. But new research suggests that it can also impact how much you eat of what’s inside: People tend to eat larger quantities of bite-size junk foods when they come in clear packages, according to a new series of studies recently published in Journal of Marketing.
For the studies, researchers compared how much cereal, candy, cookies, and carrots people ate while watching TV. The catch? In certain instances, the foods came in transparent packaging. But at other times, it was in partially transparent or opaque packaging. Compared to opaque packaging, clear packaging led the participants to eat 69 percent more Fruit Loops, 58 percent more M&Ms, 38 percent fewer cookies, and 78 percent fewer baby carrots. There were no significant differences between the amount of food eaten from transparent and partially transparent packages.
See, transparent packaging has two opposing effects: It showcases the food, which stokes your appetite and entices you to eat more, says lead author Xiaoyan Deng, Ph.D., assistant professor of marketing at Fisher College of Business Department of Marketing and Logistics. At the same time, a clear package allows you to see how much you’ve eaten, so you can, in theory, monitor your intake and eat less.
So which force is stronger? Turns out, it completely depends on what you’re eating. The tastier the food looks, the more difficult it is to resist and the more likely clear packaging will work against you. Case in point: Participants ate more Fruit Loops and M&Ms, but fewer carrots, says Deng. But a food’s size can also affect whether people practice self-control, says Deng.
When foods are bite-sized, you’re more likely to tell yourself it’s OK to eat just one little piece…and repeat it every time you dip your hand in the bag, says Deng. That’s why participants ate more M&Ms when they could see them—but fewer cookies. See, when you eat larger foods—particularly unhealthy ones—you’re more likely to tell yourself ahead of time that you’re going to need to tap into your store of willpower, says Deng. So you set yourself up to stop eating after just one or two of the items.
The takeaway? It’s probably a good idea to keep bite-sized versions of unhealthy foods in opaque containers so you don’t go overboard—but with something like cookies or even carrots, clear containers are a better bet.

WordStream Beats Bing in Super Bowl Smackdown
Ralph Folz
It was a wager that almost had to happen.
A couple of weeks before the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX, WordStream entered into a friendly bet with Bing. With Bing based in Washington and WordStream based in Boston, it was as if fate itself had intervened.
The bet itself was simple. Representatives of each company agreed to proudly wear the opposing team’s colors, depending on who ultimately won Super Bowl XLIX. If the Seahawks won, Larry and I would wear Seahawks jerseys for the day, and vice versa.
Larry and I represented WordStream in the wager. Our opponents – Matt Lydon, Microsoft’s VP of Global Search Advertising and Online, Peter Becker, Sr. Partner Account Manager at Bing, and Stacey Helman, Bing’s Global Channel Development Lead – were pinning their hopes on the Seahawks.
Just days before kick-off, I received an email from Matt Lydon, with this picture attached:
Obviously he was confident of a win for the Seahawks. Michael Lessard, one of WordStream’s Senior Sales Representatives, asked, “Did that guy just go to a souvenir stand and say ‘I’d like to buy everything!’”
I haven’t heard back from Matt about whether this was the case or not. However, we all know what happened next.
Despite a spirited performance, the Seahawks ultimately lost to the New England Patriots 28 - 24 (I’ll spare Bing and other Seahawks supporters any further embarrassment by not mentioning that play).
Our friends at Bing were good sports, and were more than happy to wear the New England Patriots gear we sent to them. Just look at the sportsmanship on show in this picture:
Peter Becker (left), Matt Lydon (center) and Stacey Helman (right) showing grace in the face of defeat at Bing
As you’d expect from any sporting wager, there was plenty of smack talk exchanged before the big game. These playful jibes were often interspersed with jokes about deflated balls, which again, is precisely what this bet demanded.
All jokes aside, this wager was personal for me. I’m a life-long Patriots fan (I’ve been fortunate enough to hold season tickets since 1992 and have attended the vast majority of their games), and I was thrilled to see the Pats take home the title. Of course, I was also delighted to see our friends at Bing wearing the glorious navy jerseys you see in the image above.
All in all, it was an incredible game and a lot of fun. To our friends at Bing – bravo, and well played. If the Patriots had the best running back in the NFL, and Bill Belichick had made a call that like that, I’m not sure Larry and I could have displayed as much grace and finesse in defeat as Peter, Matt, and Stacey.
I can’t wait until next year! Go Pats!

Elon Musk tells jurors insult provoked ‘pedo guy’ tweet

By BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press |
Posted: Tue 10:22 PM, Dec 03, 2019 |
Updated: Tue 10:24 PM, Dec 03, 2019
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elon Musk testified Tuesday that he was being insulting, not literal, when he called a British diver a pedophile in a tweet, prompting a defamation lawsuit from the man who helped rescue a dozen boys and their soccer coach from a flooded Thailand cave last year.
The Tesla CEO told jurors that he called Vernon Unsworth “pedo guy” because he was upset the diver had belittled his efforts to help by building a mini-submarine to transport the boys. Unsworth called it nothing more than a “PR stunt” and said Musk could stick the contraption “where it hurts.” The sub was never used.
“It was wrong and insulting, so I insulted him back,” the billionaire said in federal court in Los Angeles. “It was an unprovoked attack on what was a good-natured attempt to help the kids.”
Unsworth’s lawyers argue that Musk’s tweet overshadowed what should have been one of the diver’s proudest moments and left him no choice but to sue.
At the time, Musk said he didn’t know Unsworth had helped with the rescue. He said his tweet wasn’t intended as an actual allegation.
“Just as I hadn’t literally meant he was a pedophile, he didn’t want to shove a sub up my ass,” Musk said, provoking snickers in the courtroom.
Unsworth is seeking unspecified damages for pain, suffering and emotional distress. The defense has resisted efforts to turn over documents showing Musk’s wealth but says his net worth exceeds $20 billion.
Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, said earlier that Unsworth deserves nothing for what he called “joking, taunting tweets in a fight between men.”
The shame and mortification Unsworth said he experienced is undercut by the attention he received after the rescue, Spiro said, including honors from the Thai king and British prime minister and offers from agents and film crews.
“There’s a little more to this Twitter insult, and you’ll hear it,” Spiro told jurors.
Musk has apologized for lashing out at Unsworth and removed his tweet, but he also has defended using the phrase.
“‘Pedo guy’ was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up,” Musk said in a court declaration. “It is synonymous with ‘creepy old man’ and is used to insult a person’s appearance and demeanor.”
Unsworth’s lawyers laughed off that explanation, saying Musk responded to a question about whether he had accused Unsworth of being a pedophile with another tweet that said, “Bet ya a signed dollar it’s true.”
The diver’s lawyers also said Musk hired private investigators to dig up evidence Unsworth was a child molester, which they never found.
Musk suggested in emails to BuzzFeed that Unsworth was a "child rapist" and had moved to northern Thailand to take "a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time." He provided no evidence.
The lawsuit is not the first time Musk’s tweets have landed him in hot water.
Musk and Tesla reached a $40 million settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission last year over allegations he misled investors with a tweet declaring he had secured financing to buy out the electric car maker. He agreed in the settlement to have future tweets about the company screened.
He went back to court on accusations he violated that agreement by tweeting a misleading figure about how many cars Tesla would manufacture this year. The SEC sought to hold him in contempt of court, which led to a new agreement imposing tighter controls on Musk's tweets about the company.
The cave drama played out for more than two weeks in summer 2018.
Musk and engineers from his SpaceX rocket company custom-built a mini-submarine, which was heavily publicized but never used.
Unsworth, a diver and caving expert whose advice was considered crucial in the rescue operation, said the sub would never have fit in the cave.

See Psalm Makes His Debut in This Year's Kardashian-West Family Christmas Card
Savannah Walsh
From ELLE
In a break from tradition, Kim Kardashian released her 2019 Christmas card today, opting to include only her husband Kanye West and their four children—North, 6; Saint, 4; Chicago, 1; and 7-month-old Psalm in his holiday card debut. For now, it's the first time without a joint Kardashian-Jenner-West Christmas photo.
In addition to the West's youngest joining the festivities for the first time, the card is distinguished by its atypical aesthetic. Instead of Christmas sweaters or customary winter wear, the family of six is clad in gray sweats and socks, sitting on the white steps of their Calabasas home. "The West Family Christmas Card 2019," Kardashian captioned the snap.

— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) December 13, 2019
In the past, there have been several different artistic directions for the Kardashian Christmas cards—as well as yearly buzz about who is excluded from the group shot. Last year brought the all-white, allegedly "last minute" card featuring all of the Kar-Jenner women (sans Kendall) and their children. 2017 was the year the family (minus Kylie, who was secretly pregnant with Stormi at the time) wore white tees and denim while posing next to a Christmas tree.
Last year, Kim and Kanye also released a separate family photo for the holidays, perhaps signaling they would strike out on their own for this year's edition.
The Kardashian card is just the latest indication that the holidays are truly on their way. In the last few weeks, members of the family, including Khloe, Kendall, and Kim have been showing off their yuletide decorations—daring us to debate whose decor is naughty or nice.

2013: The rise of the robot cars
Will 2013 see robot cars on our roads? The future is closer than you think, especially with the advances in technology pioneered by the likes of Google.
By Simon Bisson for 500 words into the future | December 21, 2012 -- 16:06 GMT (08:06 PST) | Topic: Innovation
William Gibson once noted, "The future is here, it's just unevenly distributed". You may not have a jet pack, or a protein pill, but they're out there, somewhere. And there is one bit of the future that's on its way to you sooner rather than later: the robot car – or at the very least, a lot of robot assistance in how you drive.
Industry analyst Mark Anderson recently made a set of predictions for 2013 , one of which focused on the commercial arrival of autonomous vehicles, the robot cars of our fictional tomorrows.
10 ways cloud computing will change in 2013
As enterprise steps up its use of cloud services analyst house Forrester has predicted how business use of cloud platforms and services will change next year.
Of course, automated driving has been the stuff of science fiction for decades. There have been novels set on the automated highways of a future America, with poets in retro-fitted Volvos on the managed roads in Orange County, in cities and on freeways all across the world. But tomorrow's ubiquitous robot cars owe more to the defence industry than works of fiction.
The face of today's robot car owes a lot to the autonomous vehicles developed for Google by Stanford's Sebastian Thrun. His work on Stanford's entries in the DARPA Grand Challenge competition led to the development of the first winner, Stanley, and the runner up, Junior, in the second competition. Autonomous vehicles make a lot of sense to the military. Convoys can be run more efficiently, and fallible human drivers can be supported by machines on days-long journeys across deserts and on tedious concrete roads.
Stanley uses a mix of sensors and machine-learning techniques to build a picture of the world around it, a technique that's been refined in the Google cars. LIDAR sensors paint the world, illuminating obstacles and hazards and allowing software to plot paths around and through them. With Google's cars now having run for hundreds of thousands of miles on the hectic roads of Silicon Valley (and we've spotted them as far afield as Sacramento), they have algorithms that have been refined through the fire of Friday evening traffic on 101.

Now robot cars are able to drive on the roads in California and Nevada – without a driver at the wheel – and with other US states looking to see the results. You still can't insure a robot car, but adding some aspects of autonomous driving to a human-controlled vehicle can help to keep your premiums down.
Buy a premium car, and you'll find the options now include features like automatic radar-controlled braking and self-parking. They're all safety features that aim to reduce the risk associated with driving a tonne and a half of steel and high explosive at high speed inches from other lethal weapons. Automatic brakes use software to determine risk and then apply themselves appropriately. Meanwhile more and more sensors need more and more software to inform the driver and to control the increasingly complex engines and powertrains in a modern car.

The underlying technologies are familiar. Doppler radar and LIDAR are used in conjunction with optical sensors and GPGPU processing to feed data into machine learning systems that are programmed to identify threats. A moose leaps out into the road in front of you? ABS brakes are automatically applied to help you steer around danger – or at the very least, reduce the risk of harm to you and your passengers by pre-arming airbags and other safety systems.
Ford has been looking at how sensors and car-to-car anonymous communications can make the roads safer. It's somewhat unnerving sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV while another hurtles towards you on a test track, even knowing that the vehicles will slow down automatically and encourage the drivers to take appropriate evasive action with haptics built into the steering wheel. While not every car has a GPS system broadcasting its position on a public Wi-Fi system, it's a technology that's relatively easy to build into new cars.
Of course, without government legislation, or nudges from insurance companies, it's unlikely that we'll see autonomous cars on our roads in large numbers for many years. But as more and more urban drivers move away from car ownership, and start using shared car services, there's scope for autonomous vehicles to become part of the business model of tomorrow's Zipcar. Book a car on your smartphone, and instead of having to go to the nearest pick-up point, the car arrives at your door when you need it – and heads back to a depot or the next driver when you're done. Autonomous cars make car sharing easier, and more flexible, changing the underlying economic model and making it far more attractive.
Robot cars are here – and they're not going away. Whether on the streets of our cities or in warzones, they're going to change the way we drive and the way we use cars, sooner rather than later.

You’ve surely noticed on the Seine. Symbols of Paris or France, they benefit tens of tourists every day of the finest monuments of the capital. When they need a makeover, these “riverboats” are sent to the site of the Upper Seine, Villeneuve-le-Roi.
Created in 1919, the largest inland shipyard in Ile-de-France celebrates its centenary.
“From birth, the place focused on the fluvial activity, due to its proximity to the Seine,” says its director, Frederick Motreff that we opened for the occasion.
The site was bought in 2005 by CEMEX, a Mexican company of building materials. The site thus has immense barges which convey concrete for the group. Barges very mobilized, in addition, as part of the Grand Paris work. But his activity can not reduce it: the shipyard for a century, it builds and repairs boats, pontoons and gangways.
Villeneuve-le-Roi, Tuesday. Bayard, one boat repaired on site the naval.LP / Simon Bartholomew
“50 employees work here full time. Boilermakers, welders, mechanics, diesel mechanics or electricians, “says Frédéric Motreff. The workers are divided on different boats on the construction site. That breaks down into several “blocks” (800, 500 and 150 tonnes) of which are “drawn dry” boats to be examined.
“They are almost all prototypes”
Only two covered spaces allow to refine the superstructure of the boat. “Most of the work concerns the walls of the shell, eaten away by the waves. After a complete wash out, then paint job, an expert measurement sheet and surrounds chalk swollen spots or sunken. ” Load welders then retouch the damaged parts. A trade for which the site demands excellence. “This is our backbone, because their work ensures the seal of the boat,” said Frederic Motreff.
Newsletter Val-de-Marne Every morning the news of your department seen by Le Parisien Every morning the news of your department seen by Le Parisien Your email address is collected by Le Parisien for you to receive news and special offers . Read more
In 100 years, the site has produced exceptional pieces. Among the most recent: the chic bistro Alexander III, located in the Parisian bridge of the same name, the CROUS restaurant barge Paris and the tavern of Rosa Bonheur. But also the cultural pontoon Small Bath or that of Hall of Alfortville holidays. “None are similar: they are almost all prototypes,” says Frédéric Motreff.
Last outstanding work to date, the “Ducasse-sur-Seine”, launched in September 2018. Moored right bank in the XV Ie district of Paris, this restaurant ship 100% electric, long 38 meters, cost a whopping 11 million.

Once the architectural plans drawn up, the site can deliver a boat “turnkey” in record time. It advances the pace crazy one to two new buildings per year. What ensure sales result but the company refuses to disclose. The owner of the site simply concedes that “30% of revenue is provided by the fleet maintenance CEMEX, 60% by the Paris tourist boats,” whose business is flourishing. The remaining 10% are for repairs to individual and “sailors”, the name of those who live on the water.

“The Parrot” participates at Franco Arab Film Festival - Daily News Egypt
Culture “The Parrot” participates at Franco Arab Film Festival
“The Parrot” participates at Franco Arab Film Festival
The short film is the fourth collaboration between Hend Sabry and young Arab artists
Daily News Egypt July 10, 2017 Be the first to comment
Known for her films that tackle social concerns, Hend Sabry now stars in “The Parrot”, which is to be featured at the 23rd Franco Arab Film Festival. By screening at the Short Film Night, along two other films, “The Parrot” marks its second participation in international film festivals.
Directed by Darin J. Sallam and Amjad Al-Rasheed, the film tells the story of a Mizrahi Jewish family that emigrates from Tunisia and tries to settle into their new life in Haifa, Palestine, in 1948.
The film stars artists from different regions in the Middle East, including Hend Sabry, Ashraf Barhoum, Yasmine Ben Amara, Eyad Hourani, Firas Taybeh, Lara Sawalha, and Ahmad Al-Madani.
“The Parrot” is written by Amjad Al Rasheed, Darin J. Sallam, and Rifqi Assaf and is funded by the German foundation Robert Bosch Stiftung (RBS).
The film was first introduced to the world at the 13th Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) within the Muhr Short competition, where it was accredited for the idea and plot.
It received the 2015 Film Prize of RBS in the short-fiction category.
“The Parrot” is the fourth short film to star Hend Sabry. She previously collaborated with young directors in their short films, starting with Sherif El Bendary in “Sabah El-Fol” (Rise and Shine) in 2006, which was screened in 75 festivals across more than 33 countries.
The one-shot, 9-minute film displays the struggle of a woman of a lower social class who fights the social and economic frustrations surrounding her while reviving the rare intimate moments she shares with her husband. The film was awarded the Best Short Film Award at Ismailia Film Festival.
Soon after, Sabry played the main role of the award-winning short film “Nahar W Leil” (Day and Night) by Islam Azzazi, which also took part in many festivals and won several awards.
In a duet with charismatic Egyptian actor Bassem Samra, the events of the 34-minute film take place in 24 hours, where Samra merges living between the melancholy of the past and the beauty of the present.
Sabry also participated in the Tunisian film “Zat Masaa’ Ma’ Julila” (One Evening in July) by Rajaa Amari, which was also awarded as the best film at the African, Asian, and Latin American Film Festival of Milan.

Proclaimed as a conservancy in 2003,this Game Reserve is a partnership between neighbouring families who have pooled former cattle land together to preserve and sustain the biodiversity of the region in the heart of the bushveld; characterized by six different veld types and a rich variety of 34 animal species, including the Big Five. Zander Osmers Safari’s have to date, secured the exclusive hunting rights on this Game Reserve for the past 17 years.
The area within which the reserve is situated is perhaps best known for its indigenous Sable Antelope herds. It is close to the Murchison Range and the mineral ore deposits of Phalaborwa, which are amongst the largest in the world.
This gives rise to a unique topography with varied and interesting geological formations manifesting themselves throughout the area. The reserve is also home to the cycad, “Encephalartos Dyerianos,” which does not occur naturally anywhere else in the world.
Camps in the reserve remain unfenced, which can occasionally result in an unannounced encounter as animals wander through the camp sites, which only adds to excitement of the bush experience! Expect sightings of baboon, zebra, giraffe, caracal, bushbaby (if you enjoy a night drive), spring hare, jackal, honey badger, mongoose, hyrax, wildebeest and any number of antelope, to name but a few.
Plains game and other common game species in abundance on the Nature Reserve include baboon, blue wildebeest, bushbuck, bushpig, civet, grey duiker, eland, elephant, genet, giraffe, grysbuck, hyena, impala, jackal, klipspringer, kudu, leopard, lion, caracal, nyala, ostrich, reedbuck, rhino, sable, steenbuck, warthog, waterbuck and zebra.
If any region in South Africa is known for world class dangerous game hunting it has to be the Lowveld of the old Eastern Transvaal, known as Mpumalamga today. This was the destination of choice for hunters for any of the Big 5. The Klaserie Nature Reserves form part of a 6-million-acre open wildlife system with no internal fences which is teaming with massive herds of Buffalo and Elephant, prides of Lions, Hippos, Rhino and a variety of antelope species. This region boasts one of the highest densities of Leopard in Africa. These areas offer a stunning African experience where incredible game viewing can be enjoyed by everyone on board whilst traversing the land. The ecological integrity of the reserves is a priority to the management teams and both reserves are first and foremost dedicated conservation areas where limited, controlled and sustainable hunting contributes immensely to their management budgets as well as Rhino protection.
Klaserie Nature Reserve
The MPUMALANGA Province boasts large areas of ranch land comprising flat open plains as well as mountainous country reaching 6500 feet above sea level. Over 20 species of game occur – from the elusive Vaal Rhebok to the majestic Eland. Because of the wide open plains, long range shooting is required. Because of the varied habitat and size of the areas, one can expect to go out in a different direction each day and great distances may need to be covered by vehicle in order to collect all of the species occurring here. All visitors must be aware that it can get very cold in winter . .This concession is 1-hour drive from the main lodge.

What Is the ‘Wolf Moon’? Everything We Know About 2020’s First Full Moon Eclipse

A "Full Wolf Moon Eclipse" is happening on Friday, January 10 — and here's what to expect.
In 2020, there will be 13 full moons and tomorrow at 2:21 PM ET, we'll see the first of the year. Unfortunately, this lunar phase — which also happens to coincide with a lunar eclipse — will only be visible in Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa, but anyone who lives in North America will get to see it come nightfall.
What is the Wolf Moon?
According to Time and Date, the Wolf Moon is a penumbral lunar eclipse, which occurs when the moon lines up with the earth and the sun. It passes through the planet’s inner shadow, also know as its umbra, and the light from the sun causes the moon to appear slightly darker than usual — even a bit reddish.
How can I see the Wolf Moon?
Since it will be daytime in North America, it will be impossible for anyone there to see the Wolf Moon. However, you can stream its rise on YouTube. (You can also check what time the moon will rise in your area here.)
Why is it called the Wolf Moon?
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, “The full moon for January was called the full wolf moon because wolves were more often heard at this time. They do tend to howl more often during winter months, and generally howl to define territory, locate pack members and gather for hunting.”
How will the Wolf Moon affect my zodiac?
The first moon of the year is in Cancer and because eclipses are likely to bring realizations, which means we're going to be challenged to alter the way we think and act in order to exact positive changes in our lives. In other words, it's the perfect moon for anyone looking to stand by their 2020 New Year's resolutions.
When is the next full moon?
If you miss this Wolf Moon, don't worry because there are still 12 other full moons this year to look forward. In fact, the next one is on Sunday, February 9 in the sign of Leo.
