"The Apostles of the Apostles"
Tradition of the Church called St. Mary Magdalene "apostola apostolorum" because the word apostle means messenger, but Bergoglio wickedly twisted the meaning of the word in an attempt to equate Mary Magdalene to the 12 apostles.
The messengers of the apostles: In the Scripture we see that God sends 3 groups to announce the Resurrection to the Apostles.
Mary Magdalene was not the first one but the first were the women who were there early to visit the tomb of Jesus which they found to be empty.
Mark 16: 7
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.”
But the Apostles did not believe them, then Jesus sent Mary Magdalene and they didn’t believe her and then He sent the two disciples on the road to Emmaus and the Apostles neither believe them.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
9 [[Now after he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

Administrative detention (AD) is a procedure that allows Israeli occupation forces to hold prisoners indefinitely on secret information without charging them or allowing them to stand trial. The secret information or evidence cannot be accessed by the detainee nor his lawyer, and can according to Israeli military orders, an administrative detention order can be renewed for an unlimited time. The court issues an administrative detention order for a maximum period of six months, subject to renewal.
The practice of Administrative detention is linked to the political situation in occupied Palestine, and the Palestinian movement that protests against the continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967. Administrative detention is a punitive measure and is a political action that reflects the Israeli occupation’s official policy against Palestinians. Although the use of administrative detention in a widespread and systemic manner is prohibited under international law, the Israeli occupation uses administrative detention as a tool for collective punishment against Palestinians. The occupation continues to issue administrative detention orders against various segments of the Palestinian society in the West Bank including human rights activists, university students, lawyers, mothers of detainees and business people.
Palestinians have been subjected to administrative detention since the beginning of the Israeli Occupation in 1967 and before that time, under the British Mandate. The frequency of the use of administrative detention has fluctuated throughout Israel’s occupation and has been steadily rising since the outbreak of the second intifada in September 2000.
On the eve of the second intifada, Israel held 12 Palestinians in administrative detention. Only two years later, in late 2002 - early 2003, there were over 1000 Palestinians in administrative detention. Between 2005 and 2007, the average monthly number of Palestinian administrative detainees held by Israel remained stable at approximately 765. Since then, as the situation on the ground stabilized and violence tapered off, the number of administrative detainees has generally decreased every year.
As of December 2018, there were at least 482 administrative detainees in Israeli prisons, who are being held without charge or trial for an indefinite period of time, nine of whom are members of the Palestinian Legislative Council. During the year 2018, administrative detainees collectively started a boycott campaign of military courts. This boycott started in March 2018 and was paused in September 2018 in order to give time for negotiations between the prisoners and the prison administration. Though administrative detainees declared that if no changes were made by the beginning of 2019 they will resume to actions.
ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION IN NUMBERS
The total number of administrative detainees in Israeli custody from January 2001 until December 2017. (Statistics are based on reports from the Israeli Prison Service, via B’Tselem, and on Addameer documentation)
2018 450 450 427 431 426 442 446 456 465 465 482
DETENTION CONDITIONS
Palestinians in Israeli administrative detention are now held under the jurisdiction of the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) and not the Israeli army, as was the case up to 2005. Administrative detainees in Israeli prisons are not separated from the rest of the prison population, without arrangements for food appropriate to their culture and/or religion and to allow them to practice their faiths. Prison personnel in most of the cases do not receive specific training on how to deal with administrative detainees and on international law regarding administrative detainees. Administrative detainees in Israel must endure severe restrictions on their right to education, rights to communicate with families and receive visits, and the right to adequate medical treatment.
At present, administrative detainees are primarily held in three Israeli prison facilities, all but one of which is located in 1967 territory:
Ofer Prison (located inside Ofer Military Base, south of Ramallah)
Ketziot Prison (also known as Ansar or Negev Prison; located in the Negev Desert, five kilometers from the border with Egypt)
Megiddo Prison (located inside a military base on the main Jenin-Haifa road)

How Angela Koch Has Made An Impact At The U.S. Money Reserve
The U.S Money Reserve has long been one of the largest private distributors of platinum, silver, and gold coins issued by the government.
Throughout its history, it’s gone through a variety of leadership changes, with each of these leaving an impact on the company as a whole. Currently, its CEO is Angela Koch, who has been in the position for several years and has had quite a large impact on the company during this time.
Read: U.S. Money Reserve Internship Program Celebrates Two Years | PR Newswire
As the only CEO in the precious metals industry, Angela Koch has had to overcome a variety of hurdles to get to the position she’s in now. However, her journey to the U.S. Money Reserve has been a somewhat unconventional one. Koch’s journey first began when she dropped out of college for various personal reasons. Not long after, she found herself married with several children with the family’s income being relatively tight.
As a result, Angela Koch found herself working two or three jobs at a time to ensure that she was able to make ends meet. During this time, she aimed to ensure that she understood as much as possible about the role she had, as well as how it fed into the company as a whole.
This meant that she understood how to perform her job to the highest level possible, which soon attracted a significant amount of positive attention.
By doing so, Angela Koch was soon able to receive a variety of notable positions and an increasing amount of success. During this time, she worked with a variety of companies, including a Jewish Foundation, despite being Christian, and KLA-Tencor, among others. Throughout this time, she never forgot her philosophy of learning everything she could about the company she was working with.
This is an approach that Angela Koch brought to the U.S. Money Reserve and which she’s passed on to each of the employees who work there.
As a result, she’s had a large impact on the company’s culture, much of which helps to set it apart from many other precious metals firms. In contrast to these businesses, which primarily act as sales organizations, the U.S. Money Reserve doesn’t.
One of the primary ways that the firm differentiates itself is through teaching its employees to be more than just sales agents. Instead of just selling, Angela Koch has led the firm to train them to go above and beyond for every client that they work with. To do so, there are a variety of things that employees will have to learn while at the company.
Some of the more notable of these include knowing the business inside and out, as well as knowing everything possible about the precious metals that they sell. Alongside this, Angela Koch has ensured that each employee knows how to run a system and how to ensure that they go above and beyond for their clients.

As a result of this, Angela Koch believes that the majority of the employees at the U.S. Money Reserve could lead the business should she ever depart.

A Great School With Great Staff And Diversity
Once upon a time, a man with the surname of Stevens established a school called Academy of Art University in 1929. The place has been in operation ever since then. The student body has grown, and it is now one of the most well-known art schools in the United States, as well as in the entire world. This beautiful, wonderful place houses students from all over the world.
Nobody is kept out on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual identity or gender identity. This shows in the numerous student clubs that have been set up to address the needs of specific demographics of the student body. There are various clubs that show a presence of minorities on campus.
San Francisco, the location of this top-rated school, is a prime location for artistic individuals. The infrastructure and architecture of the city are great to draw, sketch and make renditions of. The local vibes and culture are mentally stimulating—especially to those who are new to the city.
The estimated price of an undergraduate student’s annual tuition is about $26,000.00. Of course, it is generally more expensive than many community colleges and state universities. However, the resources and connections that you have access to make it worth your money.
The teachers are top-rated in their fields. You will not get a bunch of inexperienced, academia related individuals voicing their invalid opinions. Academy of Art University understands the importance of stocking their staff with people who have valid credentials and a good amount of work experience in their fields. Teachers who do not have real work experience may not be able to provide their students with realistic insights of the industries that they are teaching about. This is a problem for students who are serious about having real world knowledge.

Global Visionary Award Recipient And OSI CEO Sheldon Lavin
Sheldon Lavin, within the 1970s, made a fateful professional alteration, and that alteration was to leap from financial consultations into the sphere of the mass food production. Before ultimately gaining the Global Visionary Award, and also before joining up with his current food corporation, Mr. Lavin’s initial background was in financially oriented consultations. Learning of business practices while a Roosevelt University student positioned him perfectly for the founding of Sheldon Lavin and Associates; that was the firm that eventually allowed Mr. Lavin to come into contact with OSI Group, although they were titled differently back then, Otto & Sons, to be exact. In the prosperous years since, Sheldon has proven himself to actually be a decades long leadership success, who is clearly deserving of the admiration coming his way.
Learn about Sheldon Lavin at patch.com
What transpired, with regards to the OSI involvement from Lavin, was that his initial financial wisdom turned into full blown company leadership. Sheldon Lavin made the unthinkable rise, which ended up with him as Chief Executive Officer at this massive food and meat processing organization. Expansion came both rapidly and boldly with Sheldon Lavin at the OSI Group helm, and there exists a particular company environment within OSI that is clearly a direct result of stellar but unique manner of leadership which Mr. Lavin’s presence has ushered into the firm.
Man have praised, justifiably, Sheldon Lavin’s efforts concerning philanthropic contributions. Two prominent cases were his involvement with Ronald McDonald House and also his involvement with the deserving Jewish United Fund. No wonder the Vision World Academy bolstered his already wonderful leadership reputation with the bestowing of Sheldon’s prestigious Global Visionary Award. Clearly, that entity took notice of Sheldon Lavin for his unbending influence as a food industry leading individual and also for his ability to envision, as well as move towards, change.

JHSF ParticipacoesUnder the Leadership of Jose AuriemoNeto
Jose AuriemoNeto is a Brazilian businessman who currently serves as the chairman of JHSF Participacoes. The company was established by his father in the 1970s, and it focuses on construction, real estate, and property development. Most of the projects undertaken by the company under Jose AuriemoNeto’s leadership are the construction of residential buildings and commercial offices. When his father left the post as the company’s CEO, Jose AuriemoNeto took over. One of his priorities was the construction of more luxury residential buildings in the country. As the number of people who wanted to live in cities increased, JHSF Participacoes decided to build more residential towers that can be purchased by the middle and upper-class families. The residential complexes built by JHSF Participacoes are known for the high-quality of living offered to the tenants.
José Auriemo is interested in retail, and he initiated the construction of several malls that are owned by JHSF Participacoes. Some of the largest shopping malls in the country – like the CidadeJardim and the Metro Tucuruvi – are the ideas of Jose AuriemoNeto. He also led the construction of Ponta Negra Shopping Center which became the largest shopping mall in the Amazon. Knowing that retail can be beneficial to the company, he decided to sign a contract with the largest luxury brands around the world like Hermes and Gucci, among others. This partnership will open new luxury stores inside the malls owned by JHSF Participacoes.
Today, JHSF Participacoes is also venturing into other business sectors – they now have a chain of hotels, a restaurant, and an exclusive airport being built in Sao Paulo. The company under Jose AuriemoNeto managed to experience a lot of changes that benefited the company. Today, the company’s market value continues to increase. It is believed that José Auriemo Participacoes is currently priced at $1 billion. The company’s head is also focusing on expanding its operations overseas.

Dick DeVos and Talking Freely
Dick DeVos is a man who is fully in control of himself at all times. He never loses himself even for a minute. He’s consistently the epitome of pure composure. Luckily enough, he’s married to a woman who is a lot like him as far as temperament goes. Betsy DeVos is always as cool as a cucumber. Their behaviors may just rub off on one another. They tied the knot decades and decades back, after all. Couples often start acting similarly after a while.
Dick DeVos used to be referred to as “Richard.” Dick is a simple nickname for the businessman. He’s an individual from the Midwest who knows a lot about how life works. He learned so much from watching his father. The older DeVos was a huge part of the business world in the United States long ago. Although he worked in the country years ago, his influence remains strong and tangible to this day. He was a huge factor in the establishment of the esteemed Amway Corporation. The Amway Corporation is and has long been a massive marketing staple in the United States. Dick DeVos himself operated as the Chief Executive Officer of the company starting in the nineties. His time with it was up in the 2000s. He enjoyed a superb experience with the business. He realized, however, that he needed to move on and go after other ventures and concepts. He did so by teaming up with the Windquest Group. This business has operations all around the United States.
DeVos has a lot of interest in all sorts of topics. He’s undeniably well-rounded. He has a penchant for American politics, first of all. He even has a penchant for aviation. Airplanes have been captivating DeVos for his entire life. He was captivated by planes when he was a little boy in the Midwest. He’s still captivated by them as a mature adult and father. What exactly did he do with his captivation? He made the choice to put together a charter school that’s referred to as the West Michigan Aviation Academy. This school is in laid-back Grand Rapids, Michigan. Its Grand Rapids locale is no ordinary one, though. It’s actually situated within the metropolis’ airport, fascinatingly enough. That’s the reason that travelers come across it all of the time. The students who go to the West Michigan Aviation Academy are serious about going into aviation after they graduate. They want to be hard-working pilots. They even want to be hard-working engineers. DeVos beams with pride any time he even thinks about them. Some of the students are so enamored by air travel that they regularly travel hours to get to the school from their distant homes.
DeVos and his wife discuss educational matters with significant frequency. Since Betsy is the United States’ devoted Secretary of Education, this makes full sense. DeVos loves hearing his wife’s insight with regard to the complex American educational system. He even likes giving her feedback when he can. They talk freely.

HGGC Poised for Growth with New Promotions & Hires
Judging by their recent maneuvers, it seems that HGGC is one of the better companies when it comes to appropriately rewarding a job done well by internal talent. Following a strategic investment from Dyal Capital Partners that saw a huge infusion of cash into the company, they promoted ten individuals inside the firm to handle new responsibilities brought on by this sudden growth potential.
Lee Brown will now serve as the Chairman of the Board on the Fund III investment agency formed by HGGC when they bought into Nutraceutical International Corporation. He used to head up the firm’s Fund II investment in Dyanta as well as Serena Software.
Considering the recent interest in organic products and natural cures, HGGC had also once bought into Innovative and MyWebGrocer. John Block, who has been with the equity firm since 2010, managed these now exited investments. He’s received a promotion and will handle the Fund III investment in Mi9 and HelpSystems.
After Monotype’s take-private, HGGC continues looking at public markets for deals https://t.co/cEYIP4XxZJ pic.twitter.com/CBFvubuZJQ
— Buyouts (@Buyouts) October 18, 2019
Steven Leistner and Harv Barenz have been with the company since 2009 and 2008 respectively. They will now play a much larger role in the company’s management. Since both of them have a great deal of experience with HGGC, they can be trusted to handle day-to-day operations with the knowledge of insiders.
All told, 10 different people received major promotions from inside. The firm, however, didn’t stop there and has now announced that they’re going to bring five new faces to their team.
Greg Caltabiano, Mo Gulamhusein, Chandni Shah and Holland Reynolds all have very internationally-focused resumes. That makes them uniquely capable to deal with the challenges faced by companies competing in a global economy. As HGGC continues to expand into new industries, this kind of experience will become increasingly important.
On top of this, they’re bringing on Lindsay Sparks who used to serve as an officer with Microsoft. Few companies have the massive reach that the software giant does, which means that Sparks should prove more than able to deal with all of the issues that a modern equity company needs to deal with.
With this new team, it looks like HGGC should continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

Marc Beer: Why Renovia?
Over the last 25 years, Marc Beer has proven his entrepreneurial prowess countless times. He founded his first company in 2000 and sold it seven years later for $300 million. That’s an amazing opening act to a career that only gets better the more research and development he has under his belt.
Before 2000, Marc Beer worked at Genzyme. He joined Genzyme after graduating from Miami University, and he was completely new to the pharmaceutical sales and marketing industry. Despite his green experience, Beer had a knack for marketing and quickly rose to the position of Vice President of Global Marketing.
As Vice President, it was Beer’s responsibility to get the company’s product line in front of more than 350 million people all over the world. While 350 million sounds like a lot of people; it’s nothing compared to nearly seven billion living back then. Still, Beer was successful.
He found such satisfaction in helping those medically underserved that he thought he could do more if he owned his own company. In 2000, he founded ViaCell, his first company. ViaCell used umbilical cord blood stem cells to develop dozens of treatments for all sorts of conditions. He later sold that company to PerkinElmer.
After his first sale, his career and life took a crushing blow, as his wife passed away suddenly. Lost, Beer found inspiration in raising his three kids. Two years after his wife passed, Beer rejoined the workforce and started working with Dr. Ray Iglesias.
Dr. Iglesias was a gynecologist who spent much of his career performing pelvic floor surgeries. Until recently, surgery was the only option for almost 25 percent of women in the U.S. living with pelvic floor disorders. Dr. Iglesias always believed there had to be a better way, and ten years ago, he began developing a concept to help women avoid surgery. Learn more: https://patch.com/massachusetts/boston/renovias-marc-beer-raises-42m-treat-womens-health-issues
Once his vision was developed enough, he brought the idea to Marc Beer. Inspired to help women avoid any serious medical issues and how quickly he lost his wife, Beer formed a lasting partnership with Dr. Iglesias. Later, they brought in Yolanda Lorie and founded Renovia.
Today, Renovia is leading the industry in innovative and proprietary sensor technologies that help women with pelvic floor disorders. The company also had its first product, Leva, approved by the FDA in 2018. More recently, Renovia acquired $32 million in funding from a Series B round of funding.

The Bishop's Vestments
Greetings and salutations.
Today I will be talking about the character I portray in re-enactment, Thomas de Velmont, Bishop of L'Aquila, Knight of St Michael.I will be paying particular attention to how my representation of the bishop's vestments has evolved and improved over time.
I was interested in costume before I became a re-enactor. I have been an artist since I could hold a pencil and developed a liking for science fiction & fantasy books. Due to the machinations of my dear elder brother, Phil, I was also introduced to science fiction conventions and went to my first one in 1987. I borrowed a military jacket and a long orange scarf (as a sash) and entered the masquerade as Ensign Flandry.
What has this to do with the bishop? Well, this was my first masquerade and I liked it. So, when I went to my next convention (Wincon) in 1992, I wanted to have a costume to wear. I had just read Katherine Kurtz Deryni trilogy, which has some wonderful descriptions of church ritual and vestments.and the cover of Camber the Heretic shows a bishop being consecrated.
I was going to Winchester; I knew about William of Wykham. Thus I would make a bishop costume.
The problem was I knew nothing about making clothes and very little about church vestments. I sought my mother's help and, together we came up with this.
As you can see the alb is not full enough and we misinterpreted the chasuble as a sort of over cape. The mitre was a round hat with the front and back sections (stiffened with card) glued to the cardboard hat band.
I met Helen McCarthy and Duchess Kate at Wincon and they were impressed that I knew some Latin and could quote some of the litergical phrases from Katherine Kurtz. They told me about the Far Isles and urged me to join. I was still a little unsure about this.
In the end I didn't join until 1993, but some people later told me that everyone thought I must already be a member because I came to my first revel with my own kit. I decided my persona would be a priest and picked the worst name I could think of for a clergyman, Tom Devilment, which I then refined to Thomas de Velmont.
In the meantime, I had been to the first British Costume Convention, Masque, and had re-made the bishop's costume, re-using a piece of artwork I had made at art school (based on a cope in the V &A) for Masque 2 in 1993. I was awarded Best Workmanship (Novice)..
You will observe that I have remade the mitre with a gusset and have added an ormfrey and saints. I now have a tunicle, gloves and appliqued slippers.
My plan in the Far Isles was to be suffregan bishop sent by a cardinal to report on the state of the church.
Unfortunately, I soon discovered that I could not make my character a bishop ( not even a Suffregan bishop), as this was regarded as noble title and nobility could only be conferred by the head of society for service to the society. Thus, I set aside my mitre and spent many years as the Monsignieur.
After some years in the Far Isles, I attended my first battle re-enactment at Tewkesbury. This led to my joining the Medieval Siege Society and, free from any constraint in that field, re-enacting as a fighting bishop.
I started off as Bishop of Aquila,as I had seen the film Ladyhawk and knew they were short a bishop. After a while, however, I discovered that there is city in Italy called L'Aquila, which as two cathedrals and decided to translate there. I encounted the Paladins of Chivalry and joined. Thus,at one point I was a member of three medieval societies.
I still re-enact, and fight, as the Bishop of L'Aquila
I discovered that I quite liked embroidery, as long as it had a practical application. I also found a quite good book on church vestments and in 1999, I presented this set of vestment at Masque 7. The ormphries , morse and hood of the cope have embroideries based on the evangelists' beasts from the Book of Kells, as well as four heraldic embroideries. The mitre is edged with pearls and includes a 'angel hair' quartz on the front ormphrey. The swan's head crosier was carved by my friend, Martin de Sutton.
I now had a full set of bishop's vestments; Alb, cincture, stole, maniple stole, tunicle, gloves, cope and mitre, as well as a chasuble for mass. I had found a mass in Latin and produced a truncated version for use at re-enactments ( always making sure everyone was aware I was not, and am not, an ordained minister in any modern religious organistion, but would always perform with appropriate solemnity) I had also done research into the wedding service according to the Sarum Rite and was asked to carry out a service for two of my friends in the MSS.
The plan was for them to be offically married in the Registry office in Ludlow, with us all in kit, and then to process to the (deconsacrated) chapel in Ludlow castle, where I would marry them in persona. It all went to plan and only one of the congregation sniggered when the bride had to promise to be 'Bonner and buxom in bedde and at board'.
The event was televised by(I think) Central Television. I was promised a copy of the programme, but never got it.Indeed, I only saw one of the two episodes I starred in , due to another friend having recorded it.
I became a dab hand at battlefield mass and , on several occasions, was complemented by catholic members of the public, one even saying I group was lucky to have an actual priest..
After years of service, I was made noble in the Far Isles becoming Bishop of Freemark
I also made myself some day robes, consisting of a cassock and rochet.
The latest set of vestments I have made was in 2003 and was presented at Costume Con in the US. A friend of ours had managed to get hold of some ecclesiastical fabrics that had been relegated to seconds due to weaving , or dieing faults. I also wanted to try some beadwork and goldwork.. Consequently, the ormpheries of the cope and the mitre are both enhanced with beads and pearls and there is a goldworked chi-rho and badges on the tunicle.
I wore these vestments for my second medieval wedding at Lulworth Castle. This achieved a half page spread in national newpapers.
Finally, I made a new day robe from silk brocade, a houpelande with velvet gards, as the bishop is sometimes called upon to dance at re-enactments. He dances; he's just not meant to enjoy it.
If you are wondering about he mask, it is due to the fact that this photo was taken at a masked ball at the V&A, rather than at a re-enactment, but it does show the houpelande rather well!
Anyhow, thats more than enough for now..

Sylvester Stallone Drops Out Of ‘The Expendables 4’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Mar 31st, 2017
Sylvester Stallone is in the news today, this time for dropping out of ‘The Expendables‘ franchise. He had quite a bit of time and creativity invested in the project as he co-wrote and directed the first installment then proceeded to co-write the other two films in the series.
Dave Bautista Has An ‘Escape Plan’ With Sylvester Stallone!!!
It looks like ‘Escape Plan 2‘ is officially a go and Sylvester Stallone will be back on screen as Ray Breslin, the man who wrote the book on structural security. In the first film from 2013, he found himself set up and incarcerated in the world’s most secret and secure prison, he has to use his skills to escape with help from the inside. The sequel will not see Stallone alone though, Dave Bautista is on deck to join Sly this time around.
Sylvester Stallone to play ‘The Godfather’!
Is it true? Is Sylvester Stallone coming to television? Yes he is, and he will play the lead role of Raymonde Aprile, the last great American mob boss. I can’t wait to see Stallone play a sadistic bad guy. Not only that, ‘Training Day‘ and upcoming ‘The Magnificent Seven‘ director Antoine Fuqua will direct the series. The show is based off of ‘Omerta‘, which was the final novel from Mario Puzo, who famously wrote ‘The Godfather‘.
Sylvester Stallone Announces ‘Rambo 5’!!
Despite being 68 years old, Sylvester Stallone is still game for boxing his way for a title fight as well as taking on an army of bad guys. That’s right, the two more iconic roles the actor is known for will be back on the big screen within a couple of years. I am of course talking about ‘Rambo‘ and ‘Rocky‘.
Sylvester Stallone In Talks for a ‘Rambo’ TV Series!!!
Entertainment One and Avi Lerner’s Nu Image production companies have teamed up to develop a TV Series based on ‘Rambo‘, that starred Sylvester Stallone four times already. Stallone is in talks to join the project, and once thing are set in motion, Stallone along with his the execs will shop it to the networks.
Sylvester Stallone Announces the Final Cast for ‘Expendables 3’!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Aug 19th, 2013
Sylvester Stallone in the studio executives have announced the final cast for ‘Expendables 3‘. We have updated you throughout the casting process over the past few months, and we’ve confirmed most of the decisions, and even have seen a major name (Bruce Willis) leave the project in a glorious fashion. The film has begun shooting today in Bulgaria and will release one year from now, specifically August 15th.
Check Out The Trailer for ‘Escape Plan’, Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone!!!
It’s finally happened. Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are finally in a film together where the two of them are the main stars. ‘Escape Plan‘ is set to release in October of this year and actually screened at Comic Con a month ago. It received mixed reviews, but everyone seemed to enjoy it overall, especially Schwarzenegger’s performance.
‘Fruitvale Station’ Duo Ryan Coogler And Michael B. Jordan Team With Sylvester Stallone On ‘Rocky’ Spinoff, ‘Creed’!!!
In what might be the best news of the day, MGM has set director Ryan Coogler along with actor Michael B. Jordan in developing a spinoff ‘Rocky‘ film called ‘Creed‘. Don’t worry, Sly Stallone will reprise Rocky again as a retired boxer, now trainer for Apollo Creed’s grandson, which will be played by Jordan. Coogler and Jordan most recently collaborated on the amazing film ‘Fruitvale Station‘, which you can read that review HERE.
Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro Will Step Into The Boxing Ring Once Again!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Oct 14th, 2012
Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone will fight each other in ‘Grudge Match’ for Warner Bros. Kevin Hart will play the fight promoter who retrieves these two old and retired boxers to step in the ring one last time. Peter Segal will direct with ‘Entourage’ creator Doug Ellin working on a the latest draft of the script. So Balboa vs. La Motta, huh? Not sure whether to laugh or be excited about this. I just hope the tagline is, “No matter who wins, we all lose.”
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and James Franco Team Up For Action Film!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Jul 31st, 2012
James Franco will join Jason Statham for a film called ‘Homefront’. It will be directed by Gary Fleder (Runaway Jury) and was written by Stallone. Stallone and Statham star in both ‘Exependable’ films. Stallone will also be producing the film. Franco knows no bounds and will be in every movie and genre. I like that about him.
‘Rambo: New Blood’ Is Coming To Reboot Franchise Without Stallone!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Oct 28th, 2016
If they make a Rambo movie in the jungle and Sylvester Stallone isn’t in it, did it really happen? This might be the question on some minds as we learned ‘Rambo: New Blood‘ is the title of brand new reboot of the property that will NOT include Sly. At this point in his career he needs it all: new blood, hair, hips whatever, but I digress.
Chuck Norris and Van Damme Join Stallone’s ‘Expendables 2’ With Nic Cage and John Travolta Being Courted!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
So the huge action packed star studded insane action film ‘Expendables’ is getting a sequel. If you saw the last film, you might have noticed Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a small and short cameo appearance. We reported last time that both Arnold and Bruce will be back for the sequel with much larger roles. Well Sly Stallone has confirmed that he has got Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris to sign on and come aboard which is turning out to be the biggest most epic action film EVER.
Stallone Might Let Someone Else Direct and write His Expendables Sequel!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Mar 9th, 2011
I had a hell of a good time with The Expendables. It was kind of an ultimate action film winking at previous action films along the way. All the characters were set up brilliantly in the first film and I look forward to a sequel. But this time, according to the LA Times, Stallone is looking to hand over his directing and writing duties to others.
Blu-ray Review: ‘First Kill’!
by Gumbercules9000 on Sep 3rd, 2017
In addition to Bruce Willis starring in a ton of mega-budget action films over the years, Willis has also been starring in direct-to-video movies that many of you have never heard of. Three of these films have been directed by a guy named Steven C. Miller, who is in line to direct the sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s Escape Plan. Anywho, this film is called ‘First Kill‘ and pits Bruce Willis as the bad guy here, which is something we don’t often see play out in other films. If that comes as spoiler to you, don’t let it, because Miller has a difficult time in playing the con game with his audience.

Connecticut Health Investigative Team (http://c-hit.org/category/environmental-health/)
Connecticut Department of Public Health
By Christine Woodside | January 15, 2020
On a sunny, cool day as fall gave way to winter, a team of biologists and technicians dragged white cloths through the underbrush at Lord Creek Farm in Lyme. They were looking for blacklegged ticks, which carry Lyme disease and four other deadly illnesses. As ticks attached to the cloth, the team counted them and put them in jars for further study at their lab at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven. Japanese barberry bushes grew thickly beneath the trees at this private horse farm that for years has cooperated with Lyme disease researchers. As the group dragged cloths, they noticed ticks on each other’s pant legs and coats, and began to pick them off.
Citizen Scientists Steer Efforts To Jumpstart Black Rock Harbor’s Recovery
By Christine Woodside | October 4, 2019
At 6:25 a.m. on the cloudy, humid first day of summer, two teenage aquaculture students huddle at the back of their school boat as it backs away from a dock in Black Rock Harbor in western Bridgeport. Charlotte Hickey grips a heavy cylindrical metal probe that is about a foot and a half long. The students call this “the beast.” It contains electronics that precisely measure water conditions. Sienna Matregrano holds a clipboard and pen, ready to record depth, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence and turbidity. Both girls are seniors at Bridgeport Regional Vocational Aquaculture School.
Cost Of Modernizing Century-Old Infrastructure Means Foul Spills At Black Rock Harbor Will Go On For Decades
On the west and east sides of narrow Black Rock Harbor in western Bridgeport, industry, school, recreation and sewage treatment converge. At the most inland tip are Santa Energy’s oil tanks. On the east side stretch asphalt runways at Pratt & Whitney’s test airport and a city landfill. On the west side stand O & G Industries sand and stone yard, an empty industrial building, a city landfill, a trash-to-energy plant, the regional aquaculture high school, a seaport, shops, a restaurant and sailing teams’ docks. Last on this list is the Bridgeport West Side Water Pollution Control Facility, the city’s largest sewage treatment plant, which began work this year on a 20-year plan to correct chronic overflows.
Dead Fish, Condoms, Brown Foam: Sewage Has Chokehold On Black Rock Harbor
On April 25, 2018, Patrick Clough walked onto a dock at Fayerweather Yacht Club on Black Rock Harbor in western Bridgeport. He looked down. Swirling around the dock was a brown, foamy slick. Women’s sanitary products and other objects floated in it. He posted a photo of the discharge on two Black Rock neighborhood Facebook pages, writing “This is disgusting.”
A week before Clough captured that photo, equipment malfunctioned at the Bridgeport West Side Water Pollution Control Facility.
How Much Plastic Is In Your Body? Scientists Turn To Oysters, Mussels For Clues
By Christine Woodside | December 26, 2018
J. Evan Ward knelt on a dock jutting into Eastern Point Bay at the eastern end of Long Island Sound and hauled up a floating cage containing oysters. These oysters came here from nearby Mason’s Crab Cove and serve as the resident population for lab studies that Ward, a professor of marine sciences, conducts at the University of Connecticut Avery Point. He studies these and other oysters and sediment gathered on boats operated by Norm Bloom and Sons of Norwalk. Oysters are master water filterers.
Mold Concerns Rise With The Sea Level
By Christine Woodside | July 24, 2018
A day after Hurricane Sandy hit, Nancy Arnold waded down her basement stairs and saw five feet of storm surge partially submerging her furnace and hot water heater. After the water eventually retreated, and the local fire department pumped out the rest, Arnold had another worry: mold. A husband and wife who had done painting for the Arnolds showed up and offered to wash the home’s lower level with bleach. “Where would I have been without that,” Arnold wondered this summer, “because they knew about the mold, and they Cloroxed the whole basement. If there’s another storm, I don’t know if they’re up to do that again.”
Arnold has lived in her house near the end of Whitfield Street in Guilford since 1962. She and her family evacuated to a local community center for six hours during the worst of Sandy’s tempest.
As Lead In Children Persists, State Lawmakers Look To Tackle Risks
By Jenifer Frank | March 15, 2018
With Connecticut children testing positive for lead at consistently high numbers, and millions of dollars thrown at the problem with tepid results, lawmakers may finally be stepping up to seek an effective solution. The Banking Committee is considering a bill that would create a task force to study better ways to finance the removal of the toxin from thousands of homes around the state. The task force would also investigate how to enforce abatement measures, including rental property inspections, and look into increasing workforce training in the specialized process needed to remove lead. State Department of Public Health (DPH) numbers from 2015, the latest available, show more than 72,000 children under the age of 6 testing positive for some level of lead in their blood. More than 900 children were at levels two to four times the baseline at which a child is considered poisoned.
As Lyme Disease Spreads, Danbury Lab Focuses On Diagnostic Tools
By Christine Woodside | February 22, 2018
For nearly nine years, scientists inside the boxy brick Western Connecticut Health Network Research Center have been working to develop a more accurate test to diagnose the scourge of the Connecticut woods: Lyme disease. Lyme disease is carried by the tiny blacklegged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. When a blacklegged tick infected with Lyme bites a human, it can transmit a tiny microscopic organism, called a spirochete, that moves around the human body, evading easy detection. Researchers in Danbury have been trying to detect that spirochete, similar to those that cause syphilis and other diseases, in people’s blood. Pathology research scientist Donna Guralski powered up her microscope and computer recently to show the culprit: a fluorescent green corkscrew-shaped organism that twisted around the screen, just as it would burrow through a person’s blood vessel walls and into tissue.
Report: 27 Facilities Using Hazardous Chemicals Pose Risk To Thousands Of Low-Income Neighbors
By Adam Wisnieski | December 13, 2017
There are 27 facilities in Connecticut that use such large quantities of hazardous chemicals that they are required to submit disaster response plans to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. About 170,000 people—roughly 5 percent of the state’s population—live within a mile of these facilities, risking exposure to a leak, explosion or adverse health effects. Low-income people and children of color under the age of 12 are more likely than their white counterparts to live in these “fenceline” communities, according to a report by the Center for Effective Government. In its report “Living in the Shadow of Danger: Poverty, Race and Unequal Chemical Facility Hazards,” the center examined more than 12,500 facilities in 50 states, grading states based on the “disparities faced” by people living adjacent to or near these facilities. The center reported that children of color under age 12 living in the state were 2.2 times more likely than white children to live within a mile of one of these facilities. In many instances, residents are unaware of the dangers just blocks from their homes, the report said.
Drowning Can Be Averted, But State Water Safety Funds Have Shrunk
By Christine Woodside | August 31, 2017
Trying to walk out to Charles Island at Silver Sands State Park in Milford this summer, George Swaby drowned after he and a friend were swept up in a fast current off a sandbar. Beachgoers watched as a boater rescued his friend that Friday, July 21. The body of Swaby, 28, was not found for two days. Compounding the tragedy was that it happened in sight of the beach, although outside the swimming area. “It was our goal to guard that beach from Thursday through Sunday,” said Dennis Schain, spokesman for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

Friday Favorites!
Friday Favorites for October 5, 2012
Photo: www.finalcall.com
The week was filled with so much inspiring, interesting, thought-provoking, fun and tragic news. It was hard to select my favorites. But homecomings won out in my selections.
The first two are homecoming pieces centered around the Honorable Minister Farrakhan. One was for him and the other for me.
Harlem Homecoming! Black community must change to have peace, Minister stresses in powerful N.Y. Messages
By Askia Muhammad-Senior Correspondent
Minister Farrakhan visited New York fresh off a Caribbean tour where he met with the president of Cuba and the prime minister of Jamaica. His September 25 return to the streets of Harlem were reminiscent of the 10-year span (1965-1975) when he headed Muhammad Mosque No. 7, Bro. Askia writes. Min. Farrakhan became a follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad under the voice of Malcolm X.
“I am so happy to be home, where it all began,” Min. Farrakhan said to more than 1,000 gatherers.
My other favorite is about Minister Farrakhan’s October 3 address from Southern University A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! That was a homegoing for me..that’s right. Southern Girl all the way. Before finding the Nation of Islam and moving to California, I attended SU. Go Jaguars! It was on that campus that Mr. Johnson, our African Studies professor, introduced me to the Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Muslim? What’s that I thought. What’s an X?? Prof. Johnson did more for me with that one class than he’ll ever know. Maybe he does? But, he’d have the boys attend class in bow ties, not pin ons, but they actually had to tie the neck ties. The girls had to dress in skirts, no pants. Odd we thought back then. Today I see he was just pointing us to civilized dress styles and setting the tone for our speech and thoughts as future leaders.
Min. Farrakhan spoke from the Mini Dome, the same evening as the first U.S. Presidential debate. I went for the spiritual guidance rather than the political ramblings of two candidates who promise as they may, cannot avert the fall of America.
Replay of Min. Farrakhan’s address.
Until next Friday, I hope you enjoy these favorites. Please, spread the word and the link to Min. Farrakhan’s address in Baton Rouge and Bro. Askia Muhammad’s article on Min. Farrakhan’s New York homecoming.
Thank you Bro. Askia and The Final Call Production and NOI IT staff for making these my Friday Favorites! Remember,
"If it’s impacting your community or can uplift us as a people, let’s talk about it!"
Peace! Sis. Charlene

Minion Master's Monday - Let's experiment together!
How was your weekend? We sure hope amazing! Now, Mondays are usually where we outline the week that lays in front of us internally and set specific goals. And for this week, our Community Management has planned to start a little experiment regarding feedback & suggestions. Interested?
...on multiple platforms. We have the Steam forums, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and Discord plus the in-game chat. That makes for six active communication channels we're watching, already. If we count the Dwarf streams in, we're talking about seven active communication channels every 2 weeks (formerly weekly). Sometimes, catching all the feedback and suggestions can be quite a task, especially in real-time chats like in-game or on Discord.
Just naturally, users start to talk about feedback or suggestions from others. And we appreciate that because discussions can often time lead to even more - or to more detailed - feedback/suggestions. In real-time chats, however, catching your voice can be hard and there's even a chance of overlooking something. How do we solve that? Well, let's experiment first ;)
For the next 4 weeks, we want to invite you to use a platform called STOMT. Okay, okay. Slowly. What is that? Well, STOMT is basically a feedback hub that can help to manage and understand communities and their needs better. It’s kinda similar to Twitter in some way and the appearance is reminiscent of social media networks. There’s a feed where "Stomts" are shown publicly, and users can comment and vote. Basically, a Stomt is nothing else than a post on any other platform, only that you either choose to appreciate something (I like Minion Masters because...) or wish something (I wish Minion Masters would...). You can also attach pictures or share your Stomts easily on other platforms. Ever wanted to create a movement around your ideas? Now's the time ;)
Please note that posting a Stomt doesn't require you to sign-up, nor do votes. Commenting, however, needs you to be registered. We'd like to encourage you to register yourself because we'd like to see at least an alias behind an idea. The full functionality of the platform is another incentive. Also, the STOMT page of Minion Masters is moderated and uses the same rules as the Steam forums and Reddit for that purpose. You can find these rules right here.
The biggest advantage of STOMT – and something we want to test in-depth with you – is to bring the whole community for the purpose of feedback and suggestions together in one place, whereas the current channels are spread and decentralized. That doesn't mean we do not want you to post feedback or suggestions anywhere else! For the purpose of testing this platform though, we'd appreciate being vocal there. An example that came to our minds was that you could suggest changes to the Battle Pass in-depth on the Steam forums - for instance - and write a short suggestion on STOMT, also.
STOMT gives you an easy way to let us know what you wish and/or like, while others can interact with your feedback and suggestions. The platform offers us many useful tools and ways to gather, evaluate and quantify your voices. Currently, the feedback process behind the scenes has to be maintained for single platforms that are not connected with each other. STOMT could become the new main hub for feedback, while we will continue to observe our other communication platforms, of course. There's also the possibility to integrate STOMT in Minion Masters and our Twitch streams, even Discord. But for the purpose of this initial test, we will not do that. We want to keep it simple for now. Now it's up to you, Masters! Give us your feedback and suggestions on STOMT.

Cobia on cloudy days
You don't need clear skies and calm seas to catch 'em, but it helps. I had a customer who found this on youtube.com from a cloudy day last May. I'm ready!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqNRAql9E9k

It's about time for some pics
Just got these from Tim Thompson and his recent trip to Costa Rica. That is a huge sailfish caught on The Bite and a nice rooster with Enrique's son Michael.

I need to get out on the water.....
......but rainy days in the office have been productive. Response from our Spring Newsletter has been really good. I strongly encourage you to book your drum trips now!!!! I'm geared up for the Roanoke River, but will be making a quick trip down to Costa Rica to solidify a lot of reservations for 2012. That's right, 2012. To get on the Dragin Fly or any of the Fly Boats during the peak of the season, I encourage you to let us start building you a custom Costa Rica package soon. During the Green Season in Costa Rica, May through the November, there are plenty of openings and plenty of deals. It's a great place for a family summer vacation. I do have a few openings for Argentina duck and dove hunting in July and Costa Rica tarpon fishing in October. If you have any questions or need any additional info, I'll be around all week.......looks like it's going to rain again tomorrow......I think that I'm about due for a day of fishing in the rain.
Report from the Neuse
Capt. Gary and Capt. Brian report good catches of stripers on the Neuse today, also a few trout.
From Capt. Brian..."We ended up catching 34 stripers, 1 trout for the
day.............they were very pleased. B."
Capt. Greg reports
good catches of shad on the Roanoke, best bite was on the fly, a 100+ fish day
FYI from Capt. Gary Dubiel
"catching and tagging specks at will with fish up to 25 1/2 inches, catching pups to 25 inches and a few flounder all out of Oriental. New Bern remains good for stripers and a variety of fresh water fishes."
---Gary
He just updated his calendar with us. Drop us a line and we'll get you out on the water.
Capt. Joe Ward says.....
......"Shad fishing is for those people who can't catch trout.".
After a few warm days, the water temps are rising and recent reports from Joe and Capt. Gary Dubiel indicate that a lot of trout made it through the freeze. Good news!
If you're tough enough to fish with the animal.....
From Capt. Brian on the Run Off:
"25-30 NE was what it blew on us yesterday offshore. 8-12 ft about every 6 seconds................Yellowfins, blackfins and wahoo made
the trip back to the dock with us. They are arriving. "
rumors of cobia catches are coming in from the nearshore wrecks, it's time for them to start showing up there. These warm temps could make it happen early again this year. If the weather is nice and you can get out a few miles there is no telling what you could get into.
Offhsore the guys are doing good with the tunas and a few dolphin and wahoo.
These warm temps are getting things cranked up at the Roanoke, stripers are in the river and making their way up to Weldon.....
Why is the fishing so good......
.....when I leave town? Caught 15 sails and 3 big tuna up to 100+ pounds yesterday
meanwhile in Costa Rica
The guys caught 25 sails yesterday.
Offshore fishing firing off in MHC
Yellowfin, blackfin, wahoo and dolphin were part of a day's catch on the Bill Collector last week. Capt. Brian Harrington on the Run Off is gearing up for the spring offshore season and passed along some last minute openings. Give us a ring to set you up with either one of these great North Carolina offshore boats.
Killing me.....
.......sounds like the sailfishing is really firing off, 18 sails and a dorado today.
cool, wet and grey
That's what I'm greeted with? At least it's not too cold......although I do have the heat on.
Sounds like striper/shad fishing is pretty good. My dad's even catching them out of his own boat.....
Anna and I are working on the next newsletter that should be out soon.
Check us out this weekend at the Cape Fear Wildlife Expo and NC Sportsman Magazine Fishing School in Wilmington.
From Capt. James:
"8 sailfish and 3 mahi today boss it hard to belive that we didnt catch any meat fish with your guys"
I was looking for some fresh fish before leaving Costa Rica, but all we caught were billfish the last 3 days!!!!
Seems like we're averaging about 10/day.
Fishing here
Few pics from the past week, fishing has been good and consistent, plenty of double digit days, sometimes they're biting better than others.
Dad's sailfish on the fly:
Luis' bull
Costa Rica Inshore Billfish:
Fishing at home
Capt. Gary Dubiel has been pretty busy this winter with good fishing in the upper parts of the Neuse/Trent and around Oriental. A lot of this fishing is technique-oriented on artificial baits, but he's been getting enough bites that the customers are learning a lot and they're catching fish.
4 hour half day trips are $350 and full days are $600, drop us a line and we'll put you together.
In addition to the hickory shad, a few white shad are showing up on the Neuse and Roanoke Rivers. We have shad trips available in both locations for these prices.
From April 18-May 15 striped bass trips are available on the Roanoke River. Long half days (5-6 hours) are $500 including bait. Full days (8-10 hours) are $700 including bait. Dicsounts available for fly fishing only trips. Space is limited and advance booking is recommended.
Double header pups. These guys are going to really start growing fast when the water warms up a little, putting on an inch a month through the summer. In addition to pups, Gary is reporting decent catches of specks. It's good to know that they didn't all get hit by the freeze.
Capt. Dave Stewart is also running these light tackle trips and I may be joining these guys to help out on the river over the next few weeks.
Los Suenos Sunset
last Day Report
Our average went up, 12 for 15 bites today.
All day long we had sails swimming around the boat, but they never turned on. Bet we saw 100 fish today paddling along and sunbathing.We learned a lot about feeding finicky sailfish over the past three days.......
..... but the most important thing that we learned is not to let a tournament get in the way of having fun......and we had fun.
Ended up catching over 40 sails in 4 days, including the half day practice day, all hooked on our own.Good fishing.
There are a lot of fish around and fishing should be good for a while.
And a congratulations to the Game On, Gotcha and the Big Oh, you guys were battling it out all day, impressive work, the Game On had 57 sailfish and one marlin over 3 days. Gotcha and Big Oh, right on their heels with 55 sails and a marlin, Gotcha won "on time" catching their last fish first.
A little better today...
16 for 24 bites today, we moved up the hill a little and were in the hunt for a "daily" most of the day. One more day.......
shad report
From Capt. Greg Voliva who is running some shad and striper trips this season for Down East up on the Roanoke River and in the Neuse:
"Hey, Its going off on the shad 50-60 fish days.Pitch Kettle. Waters extremely low so the main body of fish are staying in the river. I'll be back Sunday. "
got a little work to do.....
They seemed a bit "finicky" today, we had 21 bites and caught 9. Deep into the middle of the field. Congrats to the Game On who released 28 sails and is sitting in 1st place.
It's going to be interesting
Fishing has been good and steady. A lot of sailfish scattered over a large area. Tomorrow is Day1 of the 2nd leg of the Los Suenos Billfish series.

UK gives £5 million to help fight against wildlife crime
Up to £5 million of UK Government funding will made available to initiatives around the world
to help tackle the cruel trade in rhino horn, elephant ivory and other illegal wildlife
products, Defra Minister Rory Stewart has announced .
Poaching is rife in parts of Africa, with 1,293 rhinos killed last year and over 20,000
elephant deaths attributed to poaching in 2013.
The UK is playing a leading role in global efforts to tackle the illegal wildlife trade, which
involves international criminal networks and undermines the economies of our trading partners
in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Round Two of the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund will support practical action against
wildlife crime by strengthening law enforcement, reducing demand for illegal products and by
helping communities develop sustainable conservation schemes.
It's peanuts compared to what we are happy to give to places like Pakistan, or waste on weapons, but every little helps. However, the World still hasn't fully woken up to this problem. We all want to see wildlife healthy and protected but we don't seem to want to provide the funds to achieve it. A Global fund ought to be set up as its a Global problem and we ALL want to be able to enjoy the World's wildlife.

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin weighs in on Richie Incognito talk
By Nicki Jhabvala

The Broncos’ offensive-line issues have been the the talk of the last couple of weeks following losses to the Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., and the Rams in St. Louis.
Last week the Broncos worked out alleged bully and former Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito, who hasn’t played a game since October of 2013, but decided to pass on signing him. But as the Broncos’ O-line troubles become magnified, talk of giving Incognito another chance has grown louder.
On Wednesday, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin was asked if believed Incognito deserved another shot in the NFL. His answer was a lesson in deflection. Read more…
Richie Incognito: A recap of the 2013-14 madness
The Broncos on Monday worked out former Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito, a nine-year veteran and 2012 Pro Bowler who is known best for being an alleged bully and being ranked by his peers as one of the dirtiest players in the league.
It all stems back to the 2013-14 incident with his former Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin. Here’s a recap in case you forgot how Incognito became one of the most infamous players in the NFL: Read more…

Yes, I know. You might be tired of hearing about the Dolphins’ Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin fiasco. There’s been a lot of talk about it this week from every perspective, so you’ve probably found someone among all the talking heads you agree with. That said, a few stories were circulating on Twitter Thursday morning about the issue specifically and the bigger picture behind it, and I figured they might be worth sharing.
First and foremost, there’s this, from The Denver Post’s own Benjamin Hochman: “The Miami Dolphins’ issues shine light on bullying, hazing.” Read it.
Another spectacular read appeared on Grantland this morning. It’s “Man Up,” by Brian Phillips. Read it, read it, read it.
I also found this story, which was being tweeted around a bit. It’s from back in 2011 and from The Nation, which is hardly a sports publication. That said, “Jocks vs. Pukes,” by Robert Lipsyte, is a really good look at jock culture in sports. You know the drill: Read it.

St. Paul wants to sell, rehab or build upon 240 parcels of land within 2 years
27 August //
Tags : CDBG, Frogtown, housing rehab, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Neighborhood Development Strategy, Neighborhood Stabilization Program, Payne-Phalen, Railroad Island, vacant lots, West Seventh
Comments Off on St. Paul wants to sell, rehab or build upon 240 parcels of land within 2 years
The city of St. Paul is looking to fill vacant lots citywide, complete some long-scheduled housing rehab projects and do a full-court press in six five neighborhoods — Payne-Phalen, Frogtown, Dayton’s Bluff, West Seventh Street and Railroad Island — with too many aching and empty spaces.
A general concept plan detailing an ambitious, four-pronged assault on empty lots and vacant properties went before the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority in late July.
No, it’s not simple and — at $12.89 million — it won’t be cheap. What’s more, the city wants it all to happen within the next two years. You can read all 42 pages of the “Neighborhood Development Strategy” for yourself, here.
“More than anything else, our strategy is really about trying to maximize neighborhood impact by focusing our public dollars,” said Roxanne Young, the city’s project manager.
To start off, city staff took a look at all of the property that’s owned by the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). “We decided to focus our analysis on a subset of that — 240 parcels … concentrated in the ‘Invest St. Paul‘ and ‘Neighborhood Stabilization Program‘ ” neighborhoods, Young said.
Here’s how those 240 parcels might be converted from flab to fab in two shakes of a lamb’s tail (and $12.89 million later)…
Strategy 1: Clusters — 70 parcels
The first of the four strategies focuses on vacant lots inside 10-to-15 block “clusters” of Payne Phalen, Dayton’s Bluff, Frogtown, West Seventh Street and Railroad Island (which is actually a smaller subset of Payne-Phalen).
The cluster strategy envisions turning those lots into houses, be that rental or home ownership.
“We want to prioritize the development of the property that’s owned within those areas within the next two years,” Young said. “That’s our goal.”
“In the case of the cluster area strategy, we’re focusing on developing everything with residential property. In some cases, we have buildings on the site. When there’s a building on the site, we’re intending to rehab the building.”
To entice developers, the city is lining up financing through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (a $1.16 million grant application is on its way), on top of city funds. That grant in particular would benefit at least 29 properties, including 17 rehabs and 12 new constructions.
Requests for Proposals for three of the clusters would likely go before the HRA before the end of September. Those areas are Frogtown, Dayton’s Bluff and Payne-Phalen. In the case of Frogtown, the city worked closely with the Frogtown-Rondo Home Loan Fund to make sure the cluster area overlaps with the community served by the fund. The RFPs should boost about 60 properties in total.
“This is a pretty technical approach,” said Young, “and it’s based on a public process that already occurred under both Invest St. Paul and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. … What we’re really trying to do with this strategy is finish the work that we already started.”
Confused? Outreach is planned over the course of the next month to several district councils in the “cluster” areas.
Strategy 2: Existing properties with ‘obligations’ — 60 parcels
The city has plenty of obligations to fill vacant lots previously acquired through the federally-funded Neighborhood Stabilization Program, or rehab vacant homes acquired through the program. The goal is to prioritize those efforts — and others where money is already on the line — within the next two years.
“We either have a funding source that’s requiring us to meet our obligations within a given timeline, or there’s a building up on the property,” Young said.
Strategy No. 3: Additional vacant lots for sale — 56 parcels
The city will also look at vacant lots that aren’t located in one of the six cluster areas, and don’t have funding obligations that are connected to them. The hope is that the market will provide. “Those properties, effectively what we’re saying is we’re going to explore selling them for their appraised value,” Young said. “We’re doing a pilot sale of five properties this fall.”
Strategy No. 4: Splinter parcels — 54 parcels
The city also has plans for “splinter parcels” — those pesky lots that are too small to develop without a variance, or have topography and soil contamination issues, or other issues that would be a barrier to development.
“For those properties, we’re exploring the development of a splinter parcel sale program,” Young said. City staff hope to bring a series of potential policies and procedures for the program to the HRA board, with the goal of implementing them sometime between October and January.
“Effectively, our strategy is looking at the potential for the neighboring property owner to acquire the property,” Young said. Another approach might be to have a district council or nonprofit find some other use for the site, such as a playground or meeting space.
“It’s very early in conceptual stages,” she said.
So what do you think dear Scoop reader? Has the city hit paydirt with a four-pronged action plan? Will these strategies fill empty space and rehab eyesore properties, or devote public funds to projects that developers might otherwise do privately if building regulations were loosened?
Feel free to sound off, below, 1, 2…

Nature inspires flying machines
Wednesday Nov 24, 2010 10:59 AM
Bioinspiration and Biomimetics
A model robot gecko uses its tail to right itself as it falls. Similar technology could simplify control of unmanned aerial vehicles, researchers report in a special issue of the journal Bioinspiration and Biomechanics.
Airplane passengers tangled up in sluggish security lines this holiday weekend might wish they could take to the air themselves. Unfortunately, we've yet to evolve self-propelled flight, but scientists and engineers are busy taking lessons from nature to improve our barely century-old flight technology.
Take geckos, for example. Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley led by Ardian Jusufi have figured out how the lizards employ their tails to turn and right themselves as they fall from trees, helping them to always land on their feet. They even built a robotic model gecko that does the same trick. Check out this video of the falling gecko:
The work with robo-geckos "suggests that inertial appendages could simplify control of a variety of robots and unmanned aerial vehicles, because this solution allows for simple body reorientation," reads the opening editorial in a special issue of the journal Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, devoted to flight technologies inspired by Mother Nature's fliers.
The journal also features research from the University of Maryland, showing that micro helicopters could be much simpler if they imitated the falling maple seed’s wing pitch for controlled hovering and forward flight.
Virginia Tech biologist Jake Socha reports on how the slithering of flying snakes allows them to glide from tree to tree – research that could one day lead to small and agile flying vehicles.
Insect-sized robots could one day serve as spies.
The challenges of building insect-sized robots with flapping wings similar to those on flies are explored by Harvard researchers Benjamin Finio and Robert Wood. While more work remains to be done, such robotic insects could one day serve as spies -– in effect, serving as the proverbial "fly on the wall."
The special edition also covers hovering hummingbirds, birds' intuitive exploitation of thermal updrafts, and seagulls' sense of flight environment, which allows them incredible angles of attack and increased control in crosswinds.
"Because biologists and engineers are typically trained quite differently, there is a gap between the understanding of natural flight of biologists and the engineer's expertise in designing vehicles that function well. In the middle, however, is a few pioneering engineers who are able to bridge both fields," David Lentink from Wageningen University and Andrew Biewener from Harvard University write in their editorial.
One of the best things about this special issue is that all the articles are freely accessible, which makes it easier to let your imagination take flight.

Main UK & IRELAND Martin McColl continues store renewal programme
The redesigned counter units, developed by merchandising display firm Kesslers International, were installed by in-store specialists CJ Services following a detailed survey of the retailers' estate, and are a key element in Martin McColl's store modernisation programme.
Martin McColl trading director, Tony Start, said: "Our counter refit programme is a key element in our long-term commitment to creating an engaging in-store environment that not only maximises the opportunities for impulse purchases but also aids the shopping experience."
Consultative support delivered by CJ Services to Martin McColl, supporting brands and Kesslers on installation related issues, from the outset of the project, helped to deliver significant process improvements and a highly efficient rollout programme that saw two stores a day being completed by CJ Services' team of fitters and electricians. Over 500 counters were installed as part of the first phase of the rollout. The second phase of the rollout programme is scheduled for completion shortly.
Commenting on the project James Kennaugh, head of client service for CJ Services said: "A project of this scale presents some unique logistical challenges. Our strong collaborative approach with display producers, such as Kesslers International, is crucial to ensure that all projects of this size are completed on time and with minimum disruption to the in-store environment - an essential consideration for retailers such as Martin McColl."
The modular counter system, which was produced using a mix of materials including wood, metal and acrylic, was designed to deliver a cost effective solution that offers total flexibility across the existing diverse Martin McColl estate and possible future new stores. It also successfully combines the need for ease-of-use by staff and visual customer appeal - the chosen colour scheme being designed to make the product the �hero' attraction, rather than the counter units.
Graham Thorpe, account director for Kesslers added: "The modularity of the counter system allowed all counter lengths from 1m to 6m to be installed. The design allows various combinations of counter top fixtures to be fitted satisfying the Martin McColl requirement of having more product coverage at the front of the store; future technology updates also needed to be considered. Our close working relationship with CJ Services will be crucial to the success of the roll out."
Martin McColl is one of the UK's largest chains of Newsagents with over 900 stores as well as an additional 300 convenience stores and more than 100 High Street stores.

ANOTHER CHALLENGE By V. M. Smith, Assistant General Agent, Memphis, Tenn.
In the May number of the Harvester World, W. D. Adams, general agent, Kankakee, 111., reports that two of his men sold 138 wagons in three days, and wants to know who can beat it. In justice to our blockman, A. J. Johnson, and his assistant, W. A. Gause, we accept the challenge. These gentlemen have that record beat, as they sold 300 wagons in one- half-day. We conclude that brother Adams will have to go some to beat that.
