Philip Reeve has announced a sequel to "Naughty Nimrods!"
Last year's release of Naughty Nimrods by Philip Reeve was a welcome return to the realm of Mortal Engines.
Naughty Nimords was a tour de force of literary discourse from Reeve as he opened up the Mortal Engines world a bit more by showing us the fabulous life and times of Professor Nimrod Pennyroyal.
Now, Reeve has announced that a sequel will be released next April called 'Naughty Nimrods Go Bananas'.
"I was delighted to go back and have another crack at a beloved character and his family. Nimrod is such a naughty yet fun kind of character - the kind of joker you want at a dinner party and you don't mind when he drinks all your wine. Yet, underneath his waistcoat is a seriously sharp mind but one poisoned by years of cashing cheques his own ego cannot cash."
Reeve also added:
"Naughty Nimrods Go Bananas is intended to be a simply bonkers mad kind of a name. I was thinking about Herbie goes to Montecarlo and I just knew I had to get some kind of reference to one of the greatest film series ever into the title."
This makes a lot of sense as Reeve often uses pop culture references in the Mortal Engines books.
This is a delightful bookend to the news that came earlier today that Stephen Fry is to play Pennyroyal in the film sequel to Mortal Engines!
Naughty Nimrods Go Bananas is to be published on 1 April 2020.

Seeing as this has stayed popular, let's be clear that this was an April Fool's Day joke for 2019.
Peter Jackson has confirmed that the Mortal Engines film is to get a sequel after all!
It will be called Mortal Engines: Fool's Gold
Which is a play on the book sequel: Predator's Gold.
This is fantastic news as, given the failure of the original film to fully fire on all Traction Wheels at the box office, no one was expecting it.
Jackson is quoted from the announcement press release:
"I'm bloody excited to say we have managed to secure funding from the New Zealand Film Commission to do a low budget version of the sequel to Mortal Engines.
We will be focussing on using local Kiwi talent, props over CGI and best of all, we are using a script developed by Sarah McIntyre and Philip Reeve.
I'm delighted to say that Hera and Robbie are back for a second turn at their characters and Christian Rivers is back in the director's chair"
Veteran actor Stephen Fry is set to star as Professor Pennyroyal.
Filming starts 1 April 2020.
We cannot be more excited!

How the Mortal Engines movie is different from the book
How the Mortal Engines film is different from the novel
To get a movie of a book made and onto the silver screen, the narrative of the plot more often than not needs to be changed.
This is for reasons of time, storytelling and pacing.
Because let's face it books and films are very different mediums and while people can get really upset that their favorite parts of their most favorite books don't get included in the movie, the reality is most changes are necessary.
Some characters get cut out of the script completely (Think Tom Bombadil in Lord of the Rings ) or two or more characters get morphed into one. Even whole endings can change, such as the Watchmen's Giant Squid ending being changed to Doctor Manhattan talking the fall.
Scriptwriters Philipa Boyens, Fran Walsh and Peter Jackson, having won an Oscar for their adaptation of The Return of the King, know a thing or two about taking original works and getting them up on the silver screen.
For instance, the character of Faramir in The Two Towers had to be altered.
Here's what Boyens had to say about it:
"If you're trying to up the tension, you don't have your main characters captured by someone who sort of interrogates them, but, not really, who then offers them a cup of tea and says, 'I'll do anything I can to help you.' It's death on film. And it's not just the effect that the character out of the book has on Frodo and Sam's journey, it's the effect that character has on the Ring.
You've just been desperately trying to establish that this is the most evil thing ever created, it's tearing apart the mind of your main character, it's reduced this other character to this miserable creature Gollum, and now you come along someone who says, 'I would not touch this thing if it lay on the highway.' You've just stripped the Ring of all its power."
Which should demonstrate she knows what she's doing.
The movie, of course, retains plenty of similarities with the book and indeed we're sure that many an English teacher will ask her students to do an essay which compares and contrasts the two mediums. Hey kids!
And so it is with Mortal Engines that the movie had to change a few things in the book.
Here's a few of the key changes and why they were necessary.
Hester's facial scar change
Let's start with the most 'cosmetic' change.
Hester Shaw is not ugly!
In the book she is described as "" whereas the movie softens this dramatically. Yes, Hera Hilmar sports a scar but it's nothing so horrid as one can imagine that Hester wears.
She even has two working eyes!
Anna Fang
Anna Fang’s (played by Jihae) introduction is considerably more action-packed than the novel. She has considerably more on screen time in terms of her 'book pages' time and she is more involved in the final stages of the film - she even dies on London.
Tunbridge Wheels
To help streamline the story into a cogent 2 hour film the pirate town and what happens to Hester and Tom is cut from the film.
Katherine Valentine's dog called DOG is not in the film.
Of gods and banana?
Look carefully for modern artifacts in the Museum and keep an eye out for the Minions! They are in a section called "Deities of Lost America".
In the novel the humans have mistaken Mickey Mouse for a god. Due to ownership rights, the Minions have been subbed in.
The characters are older than portrayed in the novel
What's that saying about making movies, never work with kids and animals? This big budget movie needs to appeal to a broad audience, and while the novel is Young Adult, Christian Rivers needed to make his movie appealing to a mass audience. So while Tom and Hester are young, the actors playing them are not.
Jackson said of this change "We've changed the book a bit in places. We've aged it up. The book is written for quite a young audience, to some degree, you know? And I just don't think anybody wants to see another teenage dystopian movie any time soon. So, it's one of the reasons why we've aged it sort of up, and we cast it a bit older. Tom and Hester in the book are younger... We had made it a little bit more adult."
Captain Khora and Nils Lindstrom, Yasmina
The book has small roles for these two friends of Anna Fang yet they have been fleshed out in the movie to give Shrike more time to beat them up!
Magnus and Thaddeus
In the novel Magnus Chrome is the overarching bad guy where Valentine does his dirty work. It would seem that Hugo Weaving's character looms larger of the film than Magnus Chrome.
In the film, Valentine seizes control of London by killing Chrome. In the novel, they both die in the same room as London explodes.
Airships now have jet propulsion, because it makes for a better spectacle.
Guild symbols
It would seem the movie characters do not have their respective guild symbols permanently attached on their foreheads like they do in the novel. Instead it appears they show their demarcations by use of symbols on their clothing.
The Ending
A vastly changed ending for the movie which works well.
Tom does not kill Shrike, He's effectively taken down by the Anti-Traction League and a few well placed shots by Anna Fang flying the Jenny Hanniver. This serves as an opportunity for Shrike to forgive Hester for leaving him, freeing him from her promise (the concept of him turning her into a Stalker was still at play from the novel).
Valentine is not killed on London, he is killed by London after he crashes on the 13th Floor Elevator which was shot down by Tom. The wheels of London crush him just as he thinks he's survived his final clash with Hester.
Anna still dies at the hands of Valentine but it is on London.
Katherine Valentine - well played as a character but went simply nowhere in terms of plot, like you could cut the character (and Bevis) and have no consequence to the ending of the movie, which is completely different to the ending of the novel. In the novel, Katherine dies, in the book, she leads the people of London to the shield wall.
Other points of difference
Salthook was renamed Saltzhaken
Anna Fang does not have red teeth
The books are not obviously a play by play from the Star Wars plot.

GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF STORM RECOVERY AND VILLAGE OF FREEPORT UNVEIL ALL-IN-ONE OUTAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Left to Right - Honorable New York Senator John Brooks, Jason Brown, President of mPower Innovations, Freeport Police Chief, Jeanmarie Buffett, Director of the Community Reconstruction and Infrastructure Programs, Freeport Fire Chief, Robert Frisenne, Superintendent of Public Works, Assemblyman Bryan Curran, Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy, Al Livingston, Superintendent of Electric Department.
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF STORM RECOVERY AND VILLAGE OFFREEPORT UNVEIL ALL-IN-ONE OUTAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
OMS Streamlines Communication; Enables Coordinated Response to Restore
Water, Electric and Other Utilities; Informing First Responder Decisions in the
Face of Weather and other Community Emergencies
The State-of-the-art System Replaces Outdated Protocols; Centralizes the Flow
of Information
FREEPORT, NY (July 17, 2018) - The Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery today joined Village of
Freeport Mayor Robert T. Kennedy to unveil and demonstrate the Village’s newly developed Outage
Management System — an all-in-one tool that will enable first responders and other Village
personnel to more rapidly detect, assess and communicate various types of outages and other non-
911 emergencies. The project was funded by GOSR’s NY Rising Community Reconstruction
Program and was identified as a priority by the local Citizens Advisory Committee.
The Village of Freeport owns, operates and maintains its own electric, sewer and water utility
infrastructure. Each separate department had a unique set of protocols for taking complaints,
reporting outages, troubleshooting, and scheduling and making repairs. The new OMS software and
hardware is integrated into the existing infrastructure, creating a portal through which complaints
are simultaneously routed to Village departments such as Fire, Police, Water, and Public Works,
speeding response time and easing coordination. Because outages can hamper emergency response
operations, the information collected and shared on the OMS informs the actions of first
responders, allowing them to make critical, life-saving choices in real time.
“Governor Cuomo’s Office of Storm Recovery’s NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program
provided the method and the means for the Village to identify their most pressing short-term
recovery and long-term resiliency needs,” said GOSR’s Long Island Director of the Community
Reconstruction and Infrastructure programs, Jeanmarie Buffett. “The Outage Management System
will prove useful to residents and Village operations on a daily basis and even more importantly –
and potentially life-saving — during emergency events when being able to choose the best and
fastest route in and out can make all the difference.”
Members of the public serve as its eyes and ears, using their personal desktop or mobile devices to
report non-911 issues that could cause danger or hinder emergency response, such as potholes,
downed trees, and electrical outages, allowing trained Village staff to monitor and track incidents
remotely, via tablet devices. When any resident contacts the Village to report infrastructure
problems or incidents such as a downed tree blocking a roadway or power outage, he or she
automatically initiates the new OMS protocol. As information from these citizen calls are entered
into the system, the OMS dispatcher simultaneously alerts field staff, who will investigate the issues
or concerns described and respond accordingly. In beta testing now, the OMS will be available for
all by the end of July.
“The Outage Management System is a state-of-the-art program which affords our village
departments with near-instant communication abilities in times of crisis and will greatly reduce
the Village’s response times to outages and other emergencies. I, as well as the 45,000
residents benefited by this program, applaud the Governor and the State of New York for this
grant. Recognizing that Long Island must continue to prepare itself for any emergency is
paramount to our safety,” said Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy.
Senator John Brooks said, “Superstorm Sandy hit us hard and fast and we have advocated and
pushed hard to move sensible, sustainable and resilient recovery projects forward. I was happy
to support the work of Governor Cuomo’s Office of Storm Recovery and its community
outreach to make this essential all-in-one outage management system a true priority. This
common-sense approach to preparing for emergency situations will save lives and time when it
matters most.”
Assemblyman Brian Curran said, “The Outage Management System, a New York State
initiative, will provide Freeport with a useful tool to combat power outages and enhance overall
emergency management for first responders during storm-related events.”
Jason Brown, CEO & President of mPower Innovations said, “mPower Innovations enabled the
Village of Freeport to launch a fully deployed, robust and integrated outage management
system in a matter of twelve weeks. The new system allows the Village to respond and react
efficiently to catastrophic events as well as typical outages, incidents, and emergencies by
connecting each of their departments’ data and enterprise systems on a web-based smart map
using Integrator™, mPower’s powerful GIS and integration software. The OMS not only visually
displays vital data from different departments but allows departments to interact, update and
generate essential reports quickly and efficiently through any browser.”
2011 and 2012, Freeport — an incorporated village within the Town of Hempstead in Nassau
County, Long Island — sustained historic levels of rain, winds and flooding because of severe
storms. Hurricane Irene brought 13 inches of torrential rain, a storm surge exceeding seven feet and
wind up to 90 miles per hour. Only one year later, Superstorm Sandy triggered wind gusts of up to
80 miles per hour and a storm surge height of 7.85 feet above the normal astronomical level. The
combined effects were devastating.
In the aftermath of the storms, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo established the NYRCR Program to
empower local residents and business owners in the recovery and resiliency process. The OMS
NYRCR project is one of approximately 90 Long Island community reconstruction projects worth a
total of $250 million that are planned, underway or completed.
Altogether, more than 650 New Yorkers served on 66 NYRCR planning committees across the State
and have together proposed hundreds of projects inspired the unique needs and assets of their
regions. Collectively, NYRCR committees have held 650 planning meetings and 250 large-scale
public engagement events as they have worked to rebuild more sustainable communities, reinforce
infrastructure, mitigate the risks of loss and damage associated with future disasters, and spur
revitalization.
Established in June 2013, GOSR coordinates Statewide recovery efforts for Superstorm Sandy,
Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Through its NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program
— as well as its NY Rising Housing Recovery, Small Business, Infrastructure and Rebuild By Design
programs — GOSR invests $4.5 billion in federal Community Development Block Grant – Disaster
Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding to better prepare New York for future extreme weather events. More
information about GOSR and its programs is available online at http://stormrecovery.ny.gov/.
mPower Innovations is always working on product and service enhancements to bring the latest technologies to our customers. We are also an active member of the communities we work in.

The New York Knicks today unveiled their City Edition alternate jersey, honoring firefighters and their families. The Knicks will debut these uniforms on Tuesday, January 30 when the team takes on the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden, and continue to wear the jerseys at the six remaining weekend home games. At each of these games, the Knicks will donate tickets enabling local firefighters to attend and provide a special game night experience.
jersey_close1.jpg
These special uniforms were designed as a collaborative effort between the New York Knicks, Nike, the NBA and the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA). The uniforms feature a dark navy color as a nod to firefighter’s dress uniforms, reflective piping evoking the working uniforms of firefighters everywhere and the UFA logo on the City Edition shorts. The Knicks’ traditional orange, also included, highlights the team’s colors and identity. Beginning tonight, the jerseys and additional city edition merchandise will be available for purchase at the MSG Team Store inside Madison Square Garden and on NYKnicks.com.
Prior to the Knicks game on Saturday, March 31 vs. Detroit, the team will hold the first ever New York Knicks 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. This event will be open to 343 participants to climb or walk the equivalent to 110 flights of stairs, paying tribute to the 343 FDNY firefighters who passed away on September 11, 2001. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) organizes and executes 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs all over the country.
Through the proceeds from the Knicks City Edition merchandise line and the Knicks 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Event, the Knicks will donate to the Uniformed Firefighters Association Widows and Children’s Fund, the NFFF and other charities affiliated with firefighters.
If you would like to donate to the Uniformed Firefighters Association or National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, please visit: UFANYC.org or Firehero.org.
The City Edition logo pays homage to the City’s firefighters and the FDNY Maltese Cross design which is a registered trademark of the City of New York (U.S. Reg. Nos. 3191341, 3655913, 3868734, and 4276053) and is used with permission.

R. Kelly’s Lawyers Ask Judge to Dismiss Sex Abuse Lawsuit
R. Kelly denies ever abusing anyone
Published at 9:21 am on June 28, 2019
Scott Olson/Getty Images
R. Kelly's lawyers want a Chicago judge to toss a 2019 lawsuit alleging the singer sexually abused a minor a little over 20 years ago.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports their motion to dismiss was filed Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit says the abuse occurred in 1998. Kelly's attorneys say she had until 2002 to sue. But state law can extend deadlines to file in cases where the accuser becomes aware of the abuse later.
Plaintiff lawyer Jeffrey Deutschman says Kelly has a right to file the motion but that it will drag out the case.
The plaintiff is one of four accusers in a separate criminal case. The suit was filed just before Kelly was charged in February with criminal sexual abuse. He denies ever abusing anyone.

Man Gets New Mortgage Fraud Trial Because of Sleeping Lawyer
The attorney was seen sleeping several times during the October trial
By Joe Mandak • Published at 8:23 pm on May 3, 2017
A businessman will get a new trial on mortgage fraud charges because his defense attorney was seen sleeping by the judge, witnesses and the federal court jurors who convicted him last year.
U.S. District Judge Donetta Ambrose ruled James Nassida was denied a fair trial because Stan Levenson dozed during the October trial. Levenson has acknowledged that he fell asleep because he was taking cold medicines that made him drowsy.
Because Levenson was seen sleeping several times during the October trial he "therefore was not functioning as counsel during a substantial portion of Mr. Nassida's trial, thus violating Defendant Nassida's Sixth Amendment rights" to a fair trial and legal representation, the judge wrote on Monday.
Nassida's new attorney, James Brink, called the ruling "fair and well-reasoned" in an email on Tuesday. The new trial will begin Sept. 5.
Nassida founded Century III Home Equity, a lending firm in Pittsburgh's South Hills suburbs, in 1994.
Federal prosecutors contend he inflated his clients' incomes and assets and used fake property appraisals to help those borrowers get millions of dollars' worth of fraudulent mortgage loans. Nassida's firm received fees for the loans — as many as 700 a year — which Nassida used to pay for a lavish lifestyle including a house worth $1.3 million, a ski resort vacation home and luxury cars.
His sister, Janna Nassida, was tried on charges she aided in the scheme. She killed herself shortly after she and her brother were convicted last fall.
Levenson's sleeping was first brought to the judge's attention by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cindy Chung.
Levenson has told reporters and testified at a post-trial hearing in April that he slept during the trial, and he asked for a mistrial, which Ambrose refused to grant, preferring to see what verdict the jury returned. After the jury convicted Nassida, the judge questioned the jurors under oath, and all acknowledged seeing Levenson sleeping or, at least, discussing it with other jurors who had.
"After careful consideration, I find that these facts are sufficiently 'extraordinary and egregious' to justify a presumption of prejudice," the judge wrote.
Quoting a similar case, she noted that Nassida's trial couldn't reasonably be considered a confrontation between adversaries.
"Such an unfair battle — one in which one side is represented and the other is not — is a clear and direct violation of the Sixth Amendment," she wrote.

Online spending eroding NZ tax base more than multinational avoidance - English
By Paul McBeth
The growing worldwide digital economy is putting pressure on New Zealand's tax base, though online retail is a bigger threat than multinational avoidance, according to Finance Minister Bill English.
New Zealand is part of a multilateral effort to clamp down on income shifting by the likes of web-based giants Google and Facebook, who have garnered international attention for their complicated tax structures, English told Parliament's finance and expenditure committee.
A bigger threat to New Zealand's tax base is the increasing use of online retail spending, which avoids the country's 15 percent goods and services tax, he said. What made both issues murky was that traditional jurisdictions were muddied by the questions over geographical and digital boundaries.
"The most urgent issue is not the large end of town, it's the small end of town, it's hard-working mums and dads spending on the internet," English told the committee. "We have to resolve both of those issues."
Retailers have come under pressure from online sales, with apparel in particular struggling to compete, and have called for the tax department to be more stringent in collecting goods and services tax on New Zealanders' purchases from overseas websites.
The government raked in a smaller than expected tax take of $23.88 billion in the five months ended Nov. 30, due to lower corporate and GST tax revenue.
Treasury officials are picking accelerating tax revenue growth as an expanding labour market provides more income tax, and as rising wages encourage households to ramp up spending, fuelling the GST take, according to the half-year economic and fiscal update.
Speaking directly after the minister, Treasury chief economist Girol Karacaoglu told the committee New Zealand's economy was facing strong immediate growth, though that would temper to a more moderate pace in the coming years.
He warned against profligate government spending, which would put upwards pressure on interest rates that are already set to rise and an elevated currency.
"We might be a rock star, but we don't want to be a one-hit wonder," Karacaoglu said.
One of the measures the Treasury put forward to foster the country's tradable sector was in growing international connections across all policy areas, including education, infrastructure, immigration and overseas investment, he said.
"Everything we're looking at attempts to connect the New Zealand economy better with the rest of the world," Karacaoglu said.

Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide autoantibodies in association with genetic and environmental factors as indicators of disease outcome in rheumatoid arthritis.
Szodoray P1, Szabó Z, Kapitány A, Gyetvai A, Lakos G, Szántó S, Szücs G, Szekanecz Z.
Immunobiological Laboratory, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPA) have recently emerged as sensitive and specific serological markers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), providing superior alternative of the rheumatoid factor (RF) test in the laboratory diagnostics of RA. Citrullination is a post-translational modification of arginine by deimination, physiologically occurring during apoptosis, inflammation or keratinization. The presence of several citrullinated proteins has been demonstrated in the RA synovium. The identification of citrullinated epitopes as targets led to the development of the first and later second-generation anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody assays. The anti-Sa antibody has been identified a decade ago; however, recent studies confirmed that anti-Sa is directed against citrullinated vimentin. The determination of ACPA may have important prognostic significance, since ACPA production can precede the onset of clinical RA symptoms by years. ACPA(+) individuals with early, undifferentiated arthritis may have higher risk to develop RA. ACPA has important prognostic role during the progression of RA and it has also been associated with pronounced radiographic progression. ACPA production has been associated with several genetic predisposing factors, including HLA-DRB1 and PTPN22 1858T alleles, as well as with environmental and lifestyle-related factors, primarily smoking and possibly, the use of oral contraceptives and excessive caffeine intake. Thus, the assessment of ACPA, in addition to clinical, radiographic and genetic outcome measures may be important to assess disease prognosis and aids to design effective, early therapeutic strategies.

What do we mean by a neighborhood?
NeighborhoodScout® uses the official government designation for neighborhoods - the census tract.
Census tracts are small, relatively permanent subdivisions of a county that are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau in conjunction with local authorities all across the country to define real neighborhoods that are bounded to contain areas with homogeneous population characteristics (including economic status, lifestyle, and living conditions). Census tracts usually have 4,000 persons, but can range between 1,500 and 8,000 persons. This is the most fine-grained area for which detailed information is made available from the government, to protect the individual privacy of each of us. Because census tracts are based on population, they vary in size depending on the density of settlement. In urban areas, they are small, and in rural areas they can cover an entire small town or even a few small towns in very rural areas.
Since census tracts are subdivisions of a county, we did a spatial overlay of the census tracts onto city and town boundaries using a geographic information system to properly assign each census tract to its appropriate city or town. Then we named each census tract to the local colloquially recognized neighborhood name for that spot (e.g., Boston, MA (Dorchester). If there was not a name available, we named the census tract by the largest street intersection in the census tract (e.g., Worcester, MA (Lincoln St/Plantation St)
Why we don't use Zip Codes as neighborhoods
Zip codes were developed by the Postal Service for the purpose of delivering mail, but were never intended to define coherent neighborhoods. In addition, Zip Codes can have as many as 10 distinctly different census tracts contained within them. When distinct census tracts are blended together in a single Zip Code, the data reflects their average conditions and often gives a false sense of the area. The result is that potentially great matching neighborhoods can be missed, and erroneous matches can also be produced and delivered to you.
Using census tracts makes great matches possible, and helps people find the areas that are best for them and their families. Because we are committed to providing the highest possible quality and finding the neighborhoods that best meet your criteria, we use census tracts. And, as always, we show you the actual street map of the neighborhood so you know exactly where your best matching neighborhood is located.
What is a Condition Alert?
A condition alert is a condition in the neighborhood that triggers an alert. NeighborhoodScout contains condition alerts to highlight conditions that are extreme, whether good or bad. This helps answer crucial questions about the state of the neighborhood being evaluated, such as:
What are the risks of violent crime here?
Is the risk of home break-ins or other property crimes increasing?
Does real estate here hold its value?
Are the trends in local vacancies or unemployment concerning?
...and dozens more.

Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics
Many things matter about a neighborhood, but the first thing most people notice is the way a neighborhood looks and its particular character. For example, one might notice whether the buildings all date from a certain time period or whether shop signs are in multiple languages. This particular neighborhood in Bowling Green, the Cave Mill Rd / Smallhouse Rd neighborhood, has some outstanding things about the way it looks and its way of life that are worth highlighting.
Notable & Unique: People

The Neighbors: Income
How wealthy a neighborhood is, from very wealthy, to middle income, to low income is very formative with regard to the personality and character of a neighborhood. Equally important is the rate of people, particularly children, who live below the federal poverty line. In some wealthy gated communities, the areas immediately surrounding can have high rates of childhood poverty, which indicates other social issues. NeighborhoodScout's analysis reveals both aspects of income and poverty for this neighborhood.

Likewise, each neighborhood in America has its own culture – some more unique than others – based on lifestyle, occupations, the types of households – and importantly – on the ethnicities and ancestries of the people who live in the neighborhood. Understanding where people came from, who their grandparents or great-grandparents were, can help you understand how a neighborhood is today.

How you get to work – car, bus, train or other means – and how much of your day it takes to do so is a large quality of life and financial issue. Especially with gasoline prices rising and expected to continue doing so, the length and means of one's commute can be a financial burden.

Scout Vision’s® Exclusive Home Appreciation Rates
NeighborhoodScout reveals the home value trends and appreciation rates for every state, city, town, neighborhood, and micro-neighborhood in America.
NeighborhoodScout has calculated and provides home appreciation rates as a percentage change in the resale value of existing homes in that city, town, neighborhood or micro-neighborhood over the latest quarter, the last year, 2-years, 5-years, 10-years, and even from 2000 to present. We show both the cumulative appreciation rate, and the average annual appreciation rate for each time period (e.g., last 5-years: 84% total appreciation, Avg. per year: 16.8%). We also show how each city, town, neighborhood or micro-neighborhood's appreciation rate compares to others across the U.S. and within the same metropolitan area or nonmetropolitan region (e.g., 9 relative to the nation, 5 relative to the Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA Metro Area [10 is highest]). This makes comparisons of house appreciation rates equally easy for professional investors and individual homebuyers. In this example, the neighborhood is one of the highest appreciating in the nation over the last 5-years, but is only average in appreciation for the same period relative to other neighborhoods in the Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA Metro Area.
About the appreciation rate data
Our data are designed to capture changes in the value of single-family homes at the state, city, town, neighborhood and even micro-neighborhood level. Different micro-neighborhoods within a city or town can have drastically different home appreciation rates. NeighborhoodScout vividly reveals such differences. Our data are built upon median house values per square foot in each neighborhood. The data reflect appreciation rates for the micro-neighborhood or neighborhood, not necessarily each individual property in the neighborhood.
Our data are calculated and updated every three months for each geography, approximately two months after the end of the previous quarter.
What transactions are covered in the appreciation rate data?
Neighborhood appreciation rate data are based on transactions involving conforming, conventional mortgages. Conforming refers to a mortgage that both meets the underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and that doesn't exceed the conforming loan limit, a figure linked to an index published by the Federal Housing Finance Board. Conventional means that the mortgages are neither insured nor guaranteed by the FHA, VA, or other federal government entity.
Mortgages on properties financed by government-insured loans, such as FHA or VA mortgages, are excluded, as are properties with mortgages whose principal amount exceeds the conforming loan limit.

Scout Vision® REGIONAL HOUSING MARKET ANALYSIS
Bowling Green, KY Metro Area regional investment potential
Regional Investment Potential
The Scout Vision® Regional Investment Index rates a region’s 3 year appreciation forecast on a 1 -5 scale, from 1 (Very Low) to 5 (Rising Star). The 3 year appreciation forecast for each region is classified into 1 - 5 categories based on how this region’s forecast 3 year performance compares to the real estate appreciation rates experienced in all regions nationwide for every 3 year period since 1999. This provides context for comparing regional performance against historical benchmarking.
1 - Very Low (Forecast to depreciate over the next 3 years).
3 - Moderate (Forecast to appreciate between 10% and 20% over the next 3 years).
5 - Very High (Forecast to appreciate 30% or more over the next 3 years).

RATINGS: 1=Very Low 2=Low 3=Moderate 4=High 5=Very High
Housing Affordability Trends: Bowling Green, KY Metro Area
Housing Affordability Trends
The Scout Vision® Regional Housing Affordability Index is the ratio of the years of median household income in the region, to the median house value in the region. As this ratio becomes high, it becomes more difficult for local wages to support housing prices. As the Index approaches historical highs, it can be a warning of an overheated housing market that may be due for a pricing correction.
Because demand varies from region to region and the proportion of household income expected to be spent on housing also varies greatly from region to region, the Scout Vision Housing Affordability Index is best used to compare affordability in a region over time to assess overheated markets, rather than using the Index to compare different regions at one point in time to assess market overheating. The Regional Housing Affordability Index is reassessed and recalculated annually.

Gay And Lesbian Center Of Southern Nevada marks 25th anniversay

In 2015 the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada was named the Best Full-Service Community Center in Southern Nevada. It also has the distinct honor of being the only LGBT center in Southern Nevada.
Tomorrow, the Las Vegas City Council will recognize the 25-year anniversary of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada on the second floor of Las Vegas City Hall, located at 495 S. Main St at 8:30 a.m.
“You know it’s amazing. This organization was started in 1992 to provide resources for LGBT youth and it’s really grown since then,” said Andre Wade, the center’s executive director. “It goes to show that the need for us still exists and is constantly growing. We are beyond excited to be celebrating 25 years.”
At the ceremony, Councilman Bob Coffin will recognize the efforts of the community-based organization to support and promote the well-being, positive image and human rights of the LGBTQ community in Las Vegas.
Even in Southern Nevada, which Wade describes as one of the more progressive regions in the country on LGBT issues, further education about the LGBT community is always needed.
“The level of acceptance has changed but there are still many parts of the country where it’s not,” Wade said. “You see that played out with the misunderstandings about our community, especially with the transgender community.”
The center offers a myriad of services to the community including free HIV testing, family support, legal services and more.

OS City Council candidates comment on election results
Although the Ocean Shores mayoral race appears to be headed to a photo finish, the outcomes of all five City Council contests were made clear with the release last Friday of updated, though still not final, vote counts. All of the candidates responded to a request for comment from The North Coast News. The results through Nov. 8 and the candidates’ comments follow:
For Council Position 2, appointed incumbent Kathryn Sprigg leads Michael Darling 1,537-1,109.
Sprigg: “This was a lively campaign and I thank my opponent for the race he ran. I knocked on a lot of doors and met some great people; all were cordial and freely shared their ideas and aspirations for our town. I will listen and represent every citizen in Ocean Shores and I’m grateful for the community support.”
Darling: “This was a great experience. Running for office is all about giving back to this great community. Despite our differences, I’m confident all candidates want what’s best for OS. If I held any disappointment, it would be we still get less than half our citizens to vote and be heard. That breaks my heart.”
For Council Position 3, elected incumbent Lisa Griebel did not seek reelection. Frank Elduen led Richard Wills, 1,421 – 1,204.
Elduen: “I would like to thank everyone for their support. I’m looking forward to working with the council members to accomplish the things that are important to the citizens of Ocean Shores.”
Richard Wills: Chose not to comment.
The tightest of the Council races was for Position 4, where elected incumbent Jon Martin was leading Lorraine Hardin, 1,372 – 1,283.
Martin: “As it has been a lengthy and at times a heated campaign it is my hope whoever is mayor or on the council can work together to focus on the critical issues facing our city. I do believe all candidates want what is best for Ocean Shores and we do not always agree exactly on the direction. The votes show a divided city; it will be a challenge for the council and whoever is mayor to reduce that divide. I do believe it can be done.”
Hardin: “This campaign was a positive experience for me from start to finish. I was able to introduce myself to the community without any animosity toward my opponent and very little misinformation about my platform put out against me. I am quite happy to be as close in this race as we are, considering it is my first campaign effort.”
Elected incumbent Bob Peterson has, so far, received more ballots than any other local candidate. He leads challenger Chuck Anderson, 1,546–1,060.
Peterson: “I personally am not surprised as to the results obtained to date (11/11/2019). I think there were some quality people running for the various positions and unfortunately not all can win. That being said, I want to thank Chuck Anderson for adhering to our agreement to keep our contest civil. The focus is obviously now on the outcome of the mayoral race.”
Anderson: “I congratulate my worthy opponent for retaining his seat on the council. I hope his next term will be productive and address some of the changes that need to be made. It is time for our community to come together and work with whomever is in power for the benefit of our great city.”
For Council Position 7, appointed incumbent Eric Noble was leading David Linn, 1,358 – 1,226.
Noble: “I want to thank David Linn for running such a positive and gracious campaign. He is a good man who would have made a fine council member. I hope going forward all the candidates can put their differences behind and put the city first. We will not all agree but I do hope we can at least agree to disagree and look ahead in moving Ocean Shores to be the best for ALL the people. In my opinion this election divided the city in a negative way and we need to now come together and listen to the different perspectives and hopefully come to a consensus on the best way forward.”
Linn: “I learned a great deal about myself as a candidate and how I could have done better. I met some really great people in the process, and I hope that my thoughts about the various issues discussed in this campaign have had some positive impact on the public discourse.”

Sony's ultra-thin 4K TVs will start at $2,499
The new lineup will cost less than Sony's past 4K TVs.
by Joseph Lambert, 2015/06/23
4K televisions are still somewhat of a luxury today. HD TVs have replaced the CRT televisions in the last few years, and now 4K is gaining popularity rapidly. The biggest drawback of the 4K televisions as of late has been the price. Sony's last 75 inch flagship offering before the 2015 lineup cost $7,999. Thankfully, not only has Sony improved the capabilities of their TVs, but the prices have also been lowered.
Sony's new 4K televisions are powered by Android TV and are incredibly thin. At only 0.2 inches, and with a very small bezel, the X-Series TVs are impressive. Thanks to Android TV, these televisions will have access to various apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, and SlingTV. Each of the three models will feature the X-Reality PRO Picture Engine to upscale HD content to 4K for an even crisper look.
The smallest of the three, the X900C, has a 55 inch display and will cost $2,499. The 65 inch version of the X900V will be $3,999. Finally, the X910C, with a 75 inch screen, will set buyers back $5,499. Though it is still very expensive, the price is easier to swallow than that of the last 75 inch 4K TV from Sony. These TVs are not meant to be affordable or compete with entry-level 4K offerings. Sony, however, is quite confident that the features and display quality are enough to justify the price.

Whitney tallied an assist in sixth-ranked CBC’s 2-1 win over Wenatchee Valley and the game winning goal in a 1-0 victory over seventh-ranked Yakima Valley to help the Hawks improve to 12-1-2 on the season.
“Bailey has been a strong force in the center of the park for us this season thus far,” said Hawks head coach Omar Anderson. “She got an assist to open the scoring midweek and a game winner on Saturday. She is strong in the air and technically sound. Bailey plays a quiet game but possesses a big presence for the Hawks in midfield.”

Millard Elite 13u climbs its way into TCSB Division I Championship
Revenge is a dish best served with baseballs, at least for the 13u Millard Elite squad.
After falling to Team Colorado – Altitude Baseball in the first bracket game of the tournament, Millard Elite reunited with their old foe Saturday with a spot in the TCSB Championship on the line. This time, Millard sparked offensively and waltzed into the championship series with a 10-3 victory.
The leadoff spot proved very profitable for head coach Trevor Barton and his team. Ben Weindel kicked off the bottom half of the first inning with a single, stole second and reached third on a passed ball before touching home plate two batters later.
“I was trying to look for a fastballs all afternoon,” said Weindel. “I wasn’t trying to do anything too fancy. I just wanted to drive it up the middle and get on base. I knew if I could do that, my teammates could get me home.”
Millard added a second run on a RBI single from Cade Barton. Barton proved to be a thorn in the side of Team Colorado all afternoon. Though hitting last in the order, Barton reached base safely in all three of his attempts, notched two singles and drove in two runs.
Colorado added pressure after plating a run in the top of the fourth inning, climbing within one off an RBI double from Reese Chapman.
With lingering thoughts of their 8-3 loss against Colorado just a day earlier, Millard wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip through their fingers. Sending each of their 10 batters to the plate in the bottom end of the fourth inning, Millard exploded for five runs, including an two-RBI double from Weindel to take a commanding 7-1 lead.
“We have a very consistent approach,” said coach Barton. “We ask them to take the game one pitch at a time and stay focused on what they can control. In the middle part of that game they really started to buckle down and play the game the way we know how.”
Meanwhile, Cole Goeser was keeping Team Colorado quiet with his work on the mound. In five innings of work, Goeser allowed just a single run and trusted his defense, which came up with 12 putouts and turned two double plays.
“Our guys work really hard at their skill,” said coach Barton. “They work well together at an extremely high level and if we can get that effort from them again, I like their mentality.”
Chapman, one of the few bright spots for Team Colorado, delivered a towering home run in the sixth inning. Barton’s squad stood tall against adversity once again, though, grabbing three more insurance runs in the bottom half of the frame, once more taking advantage of a Ben Weindell RBI.
Coach Barton called up Tadan Bell to finish the job for Millard. His six outs through the sixth and seventh innings ended a marathon stretch for Millard, capturing their third victory of the day, 10-3.
“We battled all day long,” said Weindell. “It’s never a spot that any team wants to be in, trying to climb out of the loser’s bracket, but we never gave up, and now we have a chance to finish off this week with something special.”
Millard Elite’s win seals its spot in the TCSB Division I Championship Series where they’ll face Beaver Valley at 9 a.m. Sunday morning in a best-of-3 series.
“Beaver Valley is a very good team,” said Barton. “But we have played a lot of baseball. If we can get our kids to come into tomorrow with the same mentality and to play for each other, I think we can win.”

Update:Both eastbound lanes of Interstate 44 closed near Marshfield after multi-vehicle crash
Update: Nixa police on emergency status
A "clipper system" moving through the plains and across Kansas will hit the Ozarks Sunday afternoon, a meteorologist said.
According to Hatch, a winter weather advisory has been issued for the Springfield area, which could see anywhere from a light dusting to an inch of snow.
Some areas, Hatch said, could get as much as 1.5 to 2 inches of snow.
Hatch encouraged motorists to be careful on their way to watch the Super Bowl this evening.

Because of the recent above-freezing temperatures, Hatch said, the roads are not expected to ice over.
However, there might be some slick spots, he said.
Temperatures will get down to the teens tonight, Hatch said, and then dip as low as 10 degrees overnight.
Monday, there will be highs in the 40s before another wintry mix hits the area late that night, Hatch said.
"That is definitely one we are watching," he said.
Snow, sleet and even freezing rain might pelt the area, Hatch said, and continue into Tuesday.

Why elections matter to Zim businesses
By newsday
IN 2018, over 20 African countries will hold presidential and parliamentary elections across the continent. Zimbabwe holds its general elections on Monday, a day that has been declared a national holiday. Ordinarily elections should not cripple the economy, create instability or bring uncertainty, but those are the vagaries and realities of operating in certain world markets. One of Africa’s pitfalls is that politics has led the economy for far too long, instead of it being the other way round.
By VICTOR BHOROMA
The results of such systems have been undesirable for business growth on the continent, leading to poor credit ratings and depressed investment.
Zimbabwean businesses have grappled with the negative political environment of the past two decades. Some have folded, leaving the more resilient ones and the booming informal sector, which now employs over 6 million out of the 7,8 million workforce in Zimbabwe. That Zimbabwe is a market with massive potential for various forms of businesses from mining to the service industry is undoubtable. The level of interest shown by foreign and local investors after the November 2017 events clearly shows that expectations are very high. Sales orders for various businesses have also gone up in the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. Key sectors in the local economy such as agriculture and mining are showing signs of recovery, which may spill over to other segments of if the right policies are followed.
As the world looks at Zimbabwe with keen interest next week, businesses hold their breath so as to decide their next move in a somewhat turbulent market for most businesses, especially in manufacturing, real estate and the service industry. Whether to divest or invest, maintain or downsize, key decisions have to be made after elections, depending on the policy framework that will be pursued by the government. Key aspects that need to be solved include the persistent foreign currency shortage that has crippled most producers. Surveys show that over 30% of foreign currency used by the local industry in importing raw materials comes from the black market. This situation is not sustainable for the industry and the whole value chain as it puts pressure on prices. Prices of basic commodities and local supplies have gone up sharply in the last 30 days, as the foreign currency situation worsens.
The Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) and Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers (CZR) have in the past called for the return of the local currency and widespread currency reforms to cushion themselves against exchange rate losses. Sections of the local economy have also joined the loud calls to adopt the South African rand as the local currency with financial assistance from South Africa in the short term. The calls have a strong basis on the fact that Zimbabwe’s trade with its industrialised neighbour amounts to over $4,5 billion annually. South Africa takes 63% of Zimbabwean exports and supplies 40% of the products consumed locally. If smuggled merchandise imports are taken into consideration, that figure can rise to about 60%. As such the calls carry a lot of weight in terms of balance of trade and industry competitiveness.
Closely tied to trade is the need for growth-oriented policies for the local industry. The local industry is facing stiff competition from regional producers, who are taking advantage of the worsening competitive edge of locally manufactured goods. Locally produced goods cannot match the prices charged by competitors in the region due to the high cost of fuel, electricity, transport and taxes. Industrialists have also called for the government to avail concessionary loans to import equipment and meet their orders. The recent $100 million facility from Standard Chartered Bank and the UK government could have passed without notice, because of the big hole most producers are in.
The $1,3 billion offshore facility from RBZ secured through the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and Trafigura can go a long way if disbursed to where it is needed most, not on consumption. This facility could also be waiting on the election wings for the local industry.
The business community is also keeping its fingers crossed on the various mega deals and projects that have been signed or promised by the current administration. Various sectors such as banking, insurance, energy, construction, mining and tourism are salivating at various revenue opportunities that may come if these deals materialise. It is brazenly clear that most of the memoranda of understanding signed by foreign investors carry with them a clause of credible elections and post-election stability that can guarantee return on investment. It will also be important to track whether the much publicised deals were just a part of electioneering or feasible business deals that can benefit the local economy.
The banking sector has largely been performing well after offloading bad loans to the Zimbabwe Asset Management Company (Zamco). The sector’s performance has also been buoyed by the government’s growing appetite for funding its expenditure through treasury bills and revenues from non-interest income emanating from bank charges in a market with very low real business. Banking sector hopes are on securing cheap lines of offshore credit which largely depend on Zimbabwe’s plan on paying its external debt and improving on its country risk. Other segments such as retailing, telecoms and ICTs pin their hopes on a stable economy where consumer buying power can grow. This growth in consumer spending is only possible if the economy becomes a priority, instead of the politics of the day. One way or the other, the election season is coming to an end with various winners and office bearers. After the dust has settled, businesses have to perform in a conducive environment and deliver the much needed jobs.

Newsday's Athlete of the Week is Sacred Heart's Caitlin Kennedy
Coach Peter Bralower said Caitlin Kennedy "just has a great sense for the goal.": Credit: James Escher
By Owen O'Brien owen.o'brien@newsday.com Updated September 14, 2018 8:19 PM
Four years ago, Caitlin Kennedy was a young freshman trying to prove herself among her older teammates on Sacred Heart's girls soccer team. By the time she was a sophomore, she became the team's primary scorer during its state CHSAA championship run.
Kennedy, of Manhasset, put together another strong season as a junior with 17 goals and eight assists and has picked up from there to begin her senior year, scoring five goals in her first two games — including scoring twice in a 4-1 home victory over Garden City Wednesday — to be named Newsday’s Athlete of the Week.
“I feel pretty good, I think the team is feeling pretty good, too, though,” Kennedy said. “I think we’re really coming out right from the start of the game.”
Kennedy is hesitant to take the majority of the credit herself as she would rather show her teammates appreciation for setting her up for goals. The senior credits the entire lineup, especially the chemistry formed with six senior players who started as freshmen for the Spartans.
“I feel like now this being our fourth year together, we all know each other great,” Kennedy said…"We’ve gained a lot of chemistry just playing together.”
Kennedy, a two-time Newsday All-Long Island selection committed to Fordham, has the speed and quickness to create for herself, but said she’s been fortunate to share the field with talented teammates.
“I try to keep practicing and keep getting better,” she said, “but also, just my teammates, they keep getting better and it keeps pushing us further and further.”
Sacred Heart coach Peter Bralower quickly noticed he had a special talent in Kennedy when she was one of the six freshmen to start and one of seven sophomores to start during their state championship season.

“She just has a great sense for the goal,” Bralower said. “She’s kind of unique where she hits the ball well with both feet and whereas she’s not a big player, she uses her body well. She has a bounce, she’s very good technically, she has a nice turn of speed when she needs to.”
And Kennedy looks to continue off her fast start, with the team sporting a 2-0 record through Thursday. She hopes to not only be a strong contributor on the field, but a leader off it in hopes of winning its second state CHSAA title in three seasons.
“I think the leadership from our captains when we won the state title was really important,” Kennedy said. “And I think that’s why a lot of us are trying to be strong leaders to the younger kids because I think that’s what helped us achieve that greatness.”

Man Allegedly Cuts Off Wife's Hands Over Infertility
Though a fertility clinic found man was the one with the reproductive issue
Screenshot of Jackline Mwende from Kenya NTV report. (YouTube/Kenya NTV)
(Newser) – Domestic violence is a troubling issue in Kenya, and Jackline Mwende has recently become the very public face of it. The 27-year-old from Machakos, a village not far from Nairobi, says her husband came at her in a rage on July 23 with a machete and not only slashed her head and face, but also cut off her hands—all because their seven years together hadn't resulted in any kids, the Los Angeles Times reports. Mwende says her marriage to Stephen Ngila, who's said to be either 34 or 35, started out well but soon soured after they were unable to conceive. Those ill feelings only worsened when the couple visited a fertility clinic in 2014 and discovered the reproductive problem rested with Ngila, not Mwende. It's then, Mwende says, that Ngila started drinking to excess and physically abusing her.
Ngila, arrested the day after the attack and in police custody until his Sept. 20 trial on attempted murder charges, per Kenya's Star, allegedly "threatened to shut [Mwende's] mouth for good" right before attacking her, her father told CNN earlier this month. The Times notes Kenyan women in physically or sexually abusive relationships are often victims of impoverished lifestyles and an extreme traditional culture where everyone looks the other way if men get physical with their wives. Meanwhile, Ngila's sister has rushed to his defense, insisting he was with her the day of the attack, while another relative says Mwende may have been attacked by unhappy customers of her shop; local cops side with Mwende. "He thought he had killed me, but God is great," she says. (This abused wife won a $21.5 million judgment against her husband.)

Staunton hopes new school administrator will improve elementary school quality city-wide
Sharon Barker has served as Ware Elementary's principal since 2010 and will now become a Staunton City Schools instructional supervisor.
Staunton hopes new school administrator will improve elementary school quality city-wide Sharon Barker has served as Ware Elementary's principal since 2010 and will now become a Staunton City Schools instructional supervisor. Check out this story on newsleader.com: https://www.newsleader.com/story/news/2019/06/05/staunton-hopes-new-administrator-up-elementary-school-quality-division-wide/1275181001/
Rilyn Eischens, Staunton News Leader Published 11:27 a.m. ET June 5, 2019

STAUNTON – Sharon Barker was struck by the sight of a fifth-grade student climbing the stairs at Ware Elementary on a spring morning this year.
The principal had known the student since she came to the school as a kindergartener. In that moment, Barker was amazed by how much the student had grown in the last six years – in terms of both her height and level of independence.
“Starting at kindergarten and seeing what happens by the time they get into fifth grade – the growth is just huge,” she said. “That’s just amazing to me, and I’m blessed that I get to be a part of it.”
Barker developed a passion for teaching young students early in her education career, and now she’s looking forward to working with elementary teachers across Staunton City Schools as Staunton’s new elementary instructional supervisor. The division hopes Barker’s research-backed teaching strategies will bring all its elementary schools to Ware’s level.

“She’s still got her finger on the pulse of the classroom teacher. I think she really understands the challenges classroom teachers face and the support that they need … and I think that won’t change when she comes down to this position,” said Staunton City Schools Superintendent Garett Smith. “She’s still a teacher at heart.”
Barker knew she wanted to work with elementary school students ever since she completed a practicum in a third-grade classroom in Buena Vista, her hometown, while studying at Mary Baldwin University. She said she loves that teachers can support these young students while they meet a range of major developmental milestones, from tying their shoes to learning to read.
Barker has taught second grade, third grade and served as a gifted coordinator. She was principal of Staunton’s Dixon Elementary School before taking over Ware Elementary School when the schools consolidated in 2010.
Unifying teachers from two schools with different routines and cultures took “time, grace and patience,” she said – and also a great deal of strategy.
She made a point of getting to know all her teachers, understanding their strengths and weaknesses and inviting them to share their most effective classroom systems with their peers. Barker plans to use a similar tactic in her new role when she takes over for instructional supervisor Linda Mahler, who is retiring this year.
“I want to get around and talk to people and find out where … you are on your journey as a building,” Barker said. “You can’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.”

Barker’s primary responsibilities will include observing classrooms in all three elementary schools to understand what is and isn’t working across the division. She will use that information to help educators adjust and improve teaching strategies, Smith said.
Seeing teachers and students interact in classrooms is one of Barker’s favorite parts of her job, she said.
“When teachers will invite you into a classroom, that is showing … professional vulnerability. I don’t know another way to describe it because teachers take to heart the craft that they do,” Barker said. “You give them feedback, and you can validate them.”
Barker’s understanding of education research and how to implement best practices make her an effective educator and administrator, Smith said.
Under her leadership, Ware Elementary was named a 2018 National Association of Elementary and Secondary Education Act Distinguished School in the "exceptional student performance for two consecutive years" category.

Smith wants all the division’s elementary schools to use the best practices that led to high academic performance and the national distinction, Smith said. For example, it’s important for students to “own their learning” by identifying learning targets for each lesson and reflecting on how well they understand the new concepts.
“We think we can bring all of the elementary schools to the level Ware was at the last couple of years. That’s the goal,” he said.
Barker is looking forward to the opportunity to continue her own professional development in her new role, and Ware is ready for a change too, she said. She’s excited about the chance to have a broader impact across the division.
“You have to think, parents are leaving the most precious thing they have with us for six hours a day,” Barker said. “What are we going to do with it?”

Huge Helium Gas Field Found in Tanzania Said 'game Changer'
CARA ANNA Tuesday, 28 June 2016 01:20 PM
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The discovery of a huge helium gas field in East Africa is a "game changer for the future security of society's helium needs" amid a global shortage, researchers in Britain said Tuesday.
The discovery in Tanzania is the result of a new exploration approach for the precious gas that is essential to spacecraft, MRI scanners, nuclear energy, according to the Oxford University statement . Helium also fills party balloons.
This is the first time helium has been found intentionally, said the statement. Until now, the gas has been found in small amounts accidentally during oil and gas drilling.
Independent experts have estimated the helium discovery is about 54 billion cubic feet, Oxford professor Chris Ballentine said.
"To put this discovery into perspective, global consumption of helium is about 8 BCf per year," he said in the statement. "This is a game changer for the future security of society's helium needs, and similar finds in the future may not be far away."
Researchers found that the intense volcanic heat in Tanzania's East African Rift Valley has released helium from ancient rocks and trapped it in shallow gas fields, the statement said. The researchers worked with Norway-based exploration company Helium One.
The new approach can be used to find helium resources in other parts of the world with similar geological history, Oxford researcher Pete Barry said in the statement.
"This is badly needed given the current demand for helium," he said.
Oxford tweeted a photo of some of the low-tech components used in the exploration, including a roll of duct tape and plastic piping propped on a stick in what looks like a shallow pond.
"It may not look like much, but it helped find enough helium for 1.2 million medical MRI scanners," the tweet said.

About this book Customer reviews Biography Related titles Recommended titles
This richly illustrated book serves as the ideal guide to the items that litter the world's beaches. Forget sea shells and other fauna and flora. Here, you will find what a beachcomber is actually most likely to encounter most these days: glass, plastic, wood, metal, paper, oil, and other sources of marine pollution!
Complete with more than 600 color photographs, The Beachcomber's Guide to Marine Debris shows the full range of marine debris items, each presented with insight and a pinch of humor. In addition, the author provides full details about these items of beach litter. You will learn everything worth knowing about them. This includes not just their sources and decomposition stages. You will also discover the threat each item poses to these beautiful environments as well as prevention strategies, clean-up recommendations, alternative products, and recycling and upcycling ideas.
Beyond the aesthetic issue, marine debris poses a threat to wildlife, human health, and economic welfare. The Beachcomber's Guide to Marine Debris arms you with the knowledge you need to combat this pollution that is all too visible. Travel the world's most beloved tourist destinations with this book by your side and help restore these delicate environments to their natural beauty.
Michael Stachowitsch received his B.Sc. degree at the Univ. of Pittsburgh and his PhD at the Univ. of Vienna. He has successfully managed to maintain a career as a marine biologist in a landlocked country, conducting research in the Adriatic and Red Seas and teaching numerous university courses. He is the long-term Austrian coordinator of a Mediterranean sea turtle conservation project in Turkey and represents Austria at the International Whaling Commission. Michael's many activities as a scientist, author, translator and editor have taken him to beaches around the globe: the fauna and flora differ from shore to shore, the beach litter is astoundingly uniform – and abundant. Decades on hands and knees with a camera yielded this book and revealed unsettling truths about human attitudes and behaviour.

Ovarian cancer: recognition and initial management
Clinical guideline [CG122] Published date: April 2011
Appendix: Risk of malignancy index (RMI I)
1.1 Detection in primary care
1.2 Establishing the diagnosis in secondary care
1.3 Management of suspected early (stage I) ovarian cancer
1.4 Management of advanced (stage II–IV) ovarian cancer
1.5 Support needs of women with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer
The following guidance is based on the best available evidence. The full guideline gives details of the methods and the evidence used to develop the guidance.
Recommendations in this section have been incorporated into suspected cancer (NICE guideline NG12).
1.1.1 Awareness of symptoms and signs
1.1.1.1 Refer the woman urgently[6] if physical examination identifies ascites and/or a pelvic or abdominal mass (which is not obviously uterine fibroids)[7].
1.1.1.2 Carry out tests in primary care (see section 1.1.2) if a woman (especially if 50 or over) reports having any of the following symptoms on a persistent or frequent basis – particularly more than 12 times per month[7]:
persistent abdominal distension (women often refer to this as 'bloating')
feeling full (early satiety) and/or loss of appetite
pelvic or abdominal pain
increased urinary urgency and/or frequency.
1.1.1.3 Consider carrying out tests in primary care (see section 1.1.2) if a woman reports unexplained weight loss, fatigue or changes in bowel habit.
1.1.1.4 Advise any woman who is not suspected of having ovarian cancer to return to her GP if her symptoms become more frequent and/or persistent.
1.1.1.5 Carry out appropriate tests for ovarian cancer (see section 1.1.2) in any woman of 50 or over who has experienced symptoms within the last 12 months that suggest irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)[8], because IBS rarely presents for the first time in women of this age.
1.1.2 Asking the right question – first tests
1.1.2.1 Measure serum CA125 in primary care in women with symptoms that suggest ovarian cancer (see section 1.1.1).
1.1.2.2 If serum CA125 is 35 IU/ml or greater, arrange an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis.
1.1.2.3 If the ultrasound suggests ovarian cancer, refer the woman urgently[6] for further investigation[7].
1.1.2.4 For any woman who has normal serum CA125 (less than 35 IU/ml), or CA125 of 35 IU/ml or greater but a normal ultrasound:
assess her carefully for other clinical causes of her symptoms and investigate if appropriate
if no other clinical cause is apparent, advise her to return to her GP if her symptoms become more frequent and/or persistent.
1.2.1 Tumour markers: which to use?
1.2.1.1 Measure serum CA125 in secondary care in all women with suspected ovarian cancer, if this has not already been done in primary care.
1.2.1.2 In women under 40 with suspected ovarian cancer, measure levels of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) as well as serum CA125, to identify women who may not have epithelial ovarian cancer.
1.2.2 Malignancy indices
1.2.2.1 Calculate a risk of malignancy index I (RMI I) score[9] (after performing an ultrasound; see recommendation 1.2.3.1) and refer all women with an RMI I score of 250 or greater to a specialist multidisciplinary team.
1.2.3 Imaging in the diagnostic pathway: which procedures?
1.2.3.1 Perform an ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis as the first imaging test in secondary care for women with suspected ovarian cancer, if this has not already been done in primary care.
1.2.3.2 If the ultrasound, serum CA125 and clinical status suggest ovarian cancer, perform a CT scan of the pelvis and abdomen to establish the extent of disease. Include the thorax if clinically indicated.
1.2.3.3 Do not use MRI routinely for assessing women with suspected ovarian cancer.
1.2.4 Tissue diagnosis
Requirement for tissue diagnosis
1.2.4.1 If offering cytotoxic chemotherapy to women with suspected advanced ovarian cancer, first obtain a confirmed tissue diagnosis by histology (or by cytology if histology is not appropriate) in all but exceptional cases.
1.2.4.2 Offer cytotoxic chemotherapy for suspected advanced ovarian cancer without a tissue diagnosis (histology or cytology) only:
in exceptional cases, after discussion at the multidisciplinary team and
after discussing with the woman the possible benefits and risks of starting chemotherapy without a tissue diagnosis.
Methods of tissue diagnosis other than laparotomy
1.2.4.3 If surgery has not been performed, use histology rather than cytology to obtain a tissue diagnosis. To obtain tissue for histology:
use percutaneous image-guided biopsy if this is feasible
consider laparoscopic biopsy if percutaneous image-guided biopsy is not feasible or has not produced an adequate sample.
Use cytology if histology is not appropriate.
1.3.1 The role of systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy
1.3.1.1 Perform retroperitoneal lymph node assessment[10] as part of optimal surgical staging[5] in women with suspected ovarian cancer whose disease appears to be confined to the ovaries (that is, who appear to have stage I disease).
1.3.1.2 Do not include systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (block dissection of lymph nodes from the pelvic side walls to the level of the renal veins) as part of standard surgical treatment in women with suspected ovarian cancer whose disease appears to be confined to the ovaries (that is, who appear to have stage I disease).
1.3.2 Adjuvant systemic chemotherapy for stage I disease
1.3.2.1 Do not offer adjuvant chemotherapy to women who have had optimal surgical staging[11] and have low-risk stage I disease (grade 1 or 2, stage Ia or Ib).
1.3.2.2 Offer women with high-risk stage I disease (grade 3 or stage Ic) adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of six cycles of carboplatin.
1.3.2.3 Discuss the possible benefits and side effects of adjuvant chemotherapy with women who have had suboptimal surgical staging[11] and appear to have stage I disease.
Note that recommendations 1.1 and 1.2 in NICE technology appraisal guidance 55 (Guidance on the use of paclitaxel in the treatment of ovarian cancer) are on first-line chemotherapy in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
1.4.1 Primary surgery
1.4.1.1 If performing surgery for women with ovarian cancer, whether before chemotherapy or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the objective should be complete resection of all macroscopic disease.
1.4.2 Intraperitoneal chemotherapy
1.4.2.1 Do not offer intraperitoneal chemotherapy to women with ovarian cancer, except as part of a clinical trial.
1.5.1.1 Offer all women with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer information about their disease, including psychosocial and psychosexual issues, that:
is available at the time they want it
includes the amount of detail that they want and are able to deal with
is in a suitable format, including written information.
1.5.1.2 Ensure that information is available about:
the stage of the disease, treatment options and prognosis
how to manage the side effects of both the disease and its treatments in order to maximise wellbeing
sexuality and sexual activity
fertility and hormone treatment
symptoms and signs of disease recurrence
genetics, including the chances of family members developing ovarian cancer
self-help strategies to optimise independence and coping
where to go for support, including support groups
how to deal with emotions such as sadness, depression, anxiety and a feeling of a lack of control over the outcome of the disease and treatment.

April Sankirtan Address
Life-Changing Impact - Temple University
Book Distribution Gallery
There is always a difference of opinion between the devotees and the demons. The devotee simply wants to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead without any motives. Indeed, Lord Caitanya in his Antya Lila relished hearing the recitation of this part of the Srimad Bhagavatam (7th Canto) with his dear internal devotee Gadadhara Pandit. This is significant because Gadadhara Pandit represents the incarnation of Srimati Radharani, the full embodiment of service to Krishna in conjugal love of God. Srimati Radharani is also known as Karuna Mayi, the reservoir of unlimited compassion. Proper understanding of the topmost level of devotional service, madhurya rasa, conjugal love of Godhead is simultaneously based on the deepest expression of compassion for all fallen conditioned souls. Therefore, in Prahlad Maharaj's intense compassion he prayed, "My dear Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, I see that there are many saintly persons indeed, but they are interested only in their own deliverance. Not caring for the big cities and towns, they go to the Himalayas or the forest to meditate with vows of silence [mauna-vrata]. They are not interested in delivering others. As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberated alone, leaving aside all these poor fools and rascals. I know that without Krsna consciousness, without taking shelter of Your lotus feet, one cannot be happy. Therefore I wish to bring them back to shelter at Your lotus feet."
By His Grace Rama Raya Prabhu
This is the holy Vedic month of Vaisakh (April-May) following the lunar calendar, one of the most spiritually potent months for making spiritual advancement in the year. On the 14th day of the waxing moon of this month, May 9th, Lord Nrsinghadev appeared.
Hearing the deeply meaningful pastimes of Lord Nrsingha and Prahlad Maharaj is most purposeful and important. Hiranyakashipu, the greatest demon. His son, the greatest devotee. The meeting of these two creates an unprecedented situation of contrast. The contrast being so great that it ultimately necessitated the appearance of an adbhuta, unprecedented, wonderful, never before seen, half-man half-lion incarnation of the Lord - Nrsinghadev. Why?
We hear how Hiranyakashipu in the topmost position in this material world put everyone into immense misery by his demoniac mentality. All the residents of the heavenly planets and sages were forced to offer prayers and glorification to him just to keep him satisfied. He then usurped the positions of the demigods who perform the important functions of material nature.
Even in the topmost position of capturing the King of Heaven Indra’s throne and in spite of enjoying all types of sense gratification possible, Hiranyakashipu was dissatisfied because instead of controlling his senses, he remained their servant. To be a controller of the senses means to be a spotlessly pure servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
In contrast, we see the example of Bhakta Prahlad, the pure devotee of the Lord. Always in samadhi, complete in loving absorption in the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna, he never experienced any personal inconvenience. Hiranyakashipu schemed to kill him in many different ways, throwing him in a pit of snakes and even off of a mountain cliff. None of these diabolical schemes worked because he was completely sheltered by Krishna, who saved him in all circumstances.
The only dissatisfaction he did experience was out of compassion for the fallen conditioned souls and amazingly enough, his father who was envious of Krishna (Visnu), the Supreme Personality of Godhead, his worshipful Lord. Knowing that only pure devotional service to the Lord can make one happy, Bhakta Prahlad only wanted to render unalloyed devotional service to the Lord and help others understand this truth.
After Lord Nrsingha appeared to kill Hiranyakashipu, the Lord asked Prahlad to take a benediction. Prahlad stated that his relationship with the Lord was not based on expecting some reward. His only desire was that there be no material desire in his heart. In a mood of Christ-like forgiveness, he also asked that his father be freed from the reactions to his offenses and granted salvation.
Our minds should be trained so that they are always thinking of how to do good for others. Prabhupada writes in one purport that only the distribution of Krishna consciousness can actually do good to others because any other type of attempt to help others will not be on the eternal spiritual platform, but on the the temporary material platform; hence the so-called good we are doing has no lasting benefit. By following the footsteps of Bhakta Prahlad and the great Vaishnava acaryas, we can gradually come to the stage of rendering pure devotional service in full samadhi, experiencing the topmost love of God and simultaneously feeling intense compassion for all fallen conditioned souls, which is the actual standard of the topmost devotees of the Lord, the residents of Goloka Vrindavan.
svasty astu visvasya khalah prasidatam
dhyayantu bhutani sivam mitho dhiya
manas ca bhadram bhajatad adhoksaje
avesyatam no matir apy ahaituki
May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other’s welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Sri Krsna, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him.
- Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.9
Life-Changing Impact
By Bhakta Cesar
A couple of months ago we were doing harinama in Union Square Park on a Saturday night. As the harinama was getting very lively and ecstatic, there were a couple of girls passing by. They saw some people dancing in front of the harinama so they also started spontaneously dancing. After they danced for a while, I called them over to the book table and gave them some prasad candy. I found out they were visiting from Philadelphia and introduced them to Srila Prabhupada's books that they gladly took with them.
By Krishna's mystical arrangement, I ended up going to Philadelphia a few months later to pick up some books for distribution. My sankirtan partner Mahotsaha Prabhu and I went out to distribute some books; first we went to Liberty Bell and then we decided to go to Temple University - a college with 30-40,000 students. We were only there for 1 hour.
By a higher arrangement, I ran into one of the girls who had bought a book from me a few months earlier at the harinama. She was telling me, "Yes! I can see how the higher vibration [of the Hare Krishna mantra] has put us together." She said she loved the books and so I gave her information about Haryasva Prabhu's program in Philadelphia and the Govinda's restaurant.

Heartland player trophy high point
Class of 2019 . . . Enjoying the New Zealand Rugby Awards are (from left) North Otago Rugby players Robbie Smith, Josh Clark, chairman Warren Prescott and chief executive Colin Jackson. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Being named Heartland Championship Player of the Year at last week’s New Zealand Rugby Awards was the icing on the cake of what has been a big year for Josh Clark and North Otago Rugby.
Clark beat out team-mate Robbie Smith and Wanganui captain Campbell Hart to win the trophy, presented by All Black Beauden Barrett at the awards night in Auckland last week.
“I wasn’t expecting it to be honest, because Robbie Smith had an outstanding season – I was going up there as his plus one,” Clark said.
The awards night had plenty of glamour, but Clark stayed true to the rough-and-ready spirit of Heartland rugby.
“I had to get the late flight, put my suit on in the taxi and pretty much head straight to the venue.
“I didn’t have a shower or anything – I was under the pump.”

It was a big rugby season for Clark.
The Dunedin-based builder won the Citizens Shield with Maheno, took on Samoa with the New Zealand Heartland XV, played in a Ranfurly Shield challenge and won the Meads Cup with North Otago.
Clark had first joined the Old Golds as a loan player in 2013. He enjoyed it so much he linked with the Maheno Rugby Club in following years, commuting from Dunedin multiple times a week.
“When I came in 2013, I had never experienced anything like it,” he said.
“Everyone I have met have been good buggers.”
Clark’s arm is still in a cast from an injury he suffered in the Meads Cup final, and he admitted retirement had crossed his mind.
“I don’t know, mate, I mean another [Ranfurly] Shield challenge is pretty exciting . we will see what happens there.”
North Otago Rugby Union chief executive Colin Jackson was delighted Smith and Clark had been nominated and recognised at a national level.
“It’s real reward for both of them. Either of them would have been fantastic, but there had to be a winner and it’s great for Josh,” Jackson said.
“[He] is a fantastic player and a fantastic person.”
It capped off a great year for rugby in North Otago, Jackson said.
“The team have put real credibility back into rugby in North Otago.
“We are excited about 2020 and I’d be hopeful the majority of our squad will be staying.
“Onwards and upwards.”

Apartheid and differentiations
Religious Apartheid
In the history of humanity, has been witnessed by many the exploitation of man by man, for several reasons: political ideology, religious and economic. South Africa lived many years in this system of economic exploitation, emphasizing a difference to other regions dominated, there was this exploration based on legal documents.
Blacks and mestizos, and lost all its territory could offer economically, but still had to live at predetermined locations, work in specific locations, not defy the laws, at the risk of being arrested, beaten and even killed. The right to claim all this did not exist, since it was legalized.
England and the Netherlands, more specifically, and other countries, also divided the African continent according to their interests, and after the discovery of gold and diamonds in the territory of the Transvaal and Orange, this exploitation only tends to increase, reaching be conflicts between the whites themselves that dominated the region.
It took years of resistance and courage of some people that this regime was modified in Africa, but the consequences remained, leading to famine and poverty in the territory today. Who view Africa that state dependent and third world it is, may not have any idea how rich was that continent, such a holding which she suffered.

[...] The economic reason: so that production occurs in poor countries as happened in rich countries would need to provide some resources before, and these features, there are no more as the number of poor nations is much higher than the rich. Technological reason: the machine today very replaces human labor that feature does not exist in the past, this very obstacle to the participation of workers in the labor market and therefore its exclusion from participation in the national economy. [...]
[...] This type of regime that prevailed in Africa and in other similar form of local deserves above all contempt. You need people's struggle, but also the awareness of all, so that is not repeated more such injustice in the poorest regions which were submitted to the various forms of colonialism. The exploitation of man has always existed and will always exist, but from the moment she takes her rights of freedom and survival must be fought. REFERENCES BUARQUE, Cristovam. What is apartheid: the social apartheid in Brazil. [...]
[...] Religious Apartheid Currently, the religious wars take on a character of the most horrible of our world culture, among eastern countries mainly because there is a certain religious extremism, without respecting the boundaries of others. The main intolerance is with Muslims, since they are holders of enormous wealth, and their religion is also intolerant of other people, these people do not admit many attitudes not only in your country but in others it implies numerous world conflicts . In Brazil, in recent years increased the number of religious sects, because due to economic changes, the number of excluded is large and provides a playing field for new quick and immediate solutions, that is, the promise to solve all right here with God's help and do not need more of the sky to have eternal happiness.

Walking the Globe from London to Brighton
I recently purchased a very strange photograph which apparently had been found under floorboards in a house in Burgess Hill. Then, much to my surprise, I found a postcard which shows a different view of the same event.
At least three of the people in both views are the same. Perhaps they are Mdlle Florence’s minders? Can anyone date this event and tell me why it happened? The postcard was published by ‘Rapid Art Photography. Brighton Palace Pier’, it is undated.

Mystery photos of Brighton and Hove (151)
I think this is the London solicitors’ walk from London to Brighton which was a yearly event. I recall seeing a photo similar to this taken at the Kings Head Pub in Albourne.
By Bob (13/08/2008)
The lady depicted was Mademoiselle Florence who, in June 1903, walked her 2 foot diameter globe from London to Brighton over a period of 3 days and 22 hours. She was reputed to be the Champion Globe Walker of the World and appeared regularly at the Empire Theatre. Here she demonstrated feats such as descending a flight of steps and performing dance routines upon her globe. Globe walking was popularised as a music hall and variety act, particularly by a Madame Alphonsine about 20 years prior to this.
By Andy Grant (15/08/2008)
Florence shown walking on the globe was my great-grandmother. I have been searching for a photograph of this for several years.
By Simone Williamson (16/01/2009)
Hi Simone, I’m glad you have found this photograph at last. Would you like a better scan?
By David Ransom (10/03/2009)
I googled the lady globe walker this evening because earlier today I came across a similar photo and reference in ‘Victorian and Edwardian Sussex From Old Photographs’ by James S Gray ISBN 071340311 pub BT Batsford London. The book states that she took approximately a week to cover the distance from London to Brighton, on a 75lb ball, arriving at the Aquarium in Brighton at 2.45pm on Sunday 21 June 1903, having reputedly worn through 7 pairs of boots. Apparently she got off at each mile marker and rested 3 hours per day. I was hoping to find out more…
By Kahn Priestley (02/06/2009)
I have just seen the message posted about Florence walking the globe asking if I would like a better scan of the photographs posted here. I would appreciate that very much if that is still possible.
We have a different picture of her on a post card.
By Willis Thorpe (26/03/2011)
A belated comment re the London to Brighton Globe Walk: there’s a full article in the Sussex Daily News of Monday the 22nd June, 1903 in which it’s stated that Mlle Florence arrived at the Aquarium “in the small hours” (of Sunday 21st June) – so presumably around 2.45am. Her original intention was to merely access the Borough of Brighton (which at that date would have been close to Harrington Road in Preston where she, by chance, took a rest on the way into the town). Despite the late hour of her arrival, the crowds who had gathered to welcome her delayed her final arrival at the sea front.
By Peter Booth (05/05/2011)
I am working on a research project about this woman, and the Edwardian period, the lives of women etc. Mademoiselle Florence is an intriguing and inspiring example of a woman of that period. If anyone could supply me with any more biographical information about her I would really appreciate it. Especially the lady who is her great granddaughter! Thanks.
By Tara Gould (03/06/2011)
I too am a distant relative of this incredible lady. The photo I have has been taken from the front of the ball and the gentleman standing next to Florence is my great-grandfather Isaac Thomas West. Isaac went on to marry Florence’s sister Susan (my great grandmother). Thank you for the other photos which are of a much better quality than the one I have.
By Rhonda Fardon (21/08/2011)
How did she keep her balance on that ball for 3 days?!
By Aaron (09/12/2013)
Mlle Florence appeared at Brighton Hippodrome in the week beginning 3 August 1903, already billed as ‘champion globe walker of the world’. She had been filmed on her approach to Brighton by ‘Hove pioneer’ George Albert Smith.
By David Fisher (21/08/2016)
Hello, I also found a postcard from this “walk”. Please can you send me a HD scans from yours? Thank you. [Hello Remi, it may take some time for your request to be read and responded to as Mr Ranson, who has the ordinal postcards, may not look at this site regularly. Best wishes, Editing Team]
By Remi Bragard (09/10/2017)
Thanks to David Ransom for starting this fascinating research about Madame Florence . I have a third Postcard from this series which was one of the first postcards published and taken by the first woman press photographer Christina Broom who worked under her invalided husbands name as Mrs Albert Broom. Her work was the subject of a major exhibition last year at the Museum of London where the image was published in the excellent catalogue by Anna Sparham. The pose Broom took shows her arm on her hip and it would be good to know if the different other subjects in the photograph can be identified. The card is numbered 1212 and appears in her first catalogue issued in 1993, her numbering began at 1200. Let me know if you already have this card. I am about to post on Instagram as part of an account dedicated to early women photographers 1840 to 1949 under the banner @ Sisters Of The Lens.

My New Orleans
100 Million Dollar Man
New Orleans escapes Nashville with win
Mark Patrick Spencer,
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (AP Photo/James Kenney)
It seemed just like yesterday, but a lifetime ago at the same time, when Michael Thomas played his first game for the New Orleans Saints. The then-rookie wide receiver would haul in six catches (on six targets) for 58 yards in a loss to the Oakland Raiders. I guess the “lifetime ago” part is because, yes, Michael Thomas, who seemingly has only won at the NFL level, was part of that last 7-9 team. Ever since those dark days, Thomas has caught a lot of passes and the Saints have collected a ton of wins. The Thomas-Drew Brees tandem has been a sight to see and added a couple of records on Sunday in a bullet-dodging 38-28 victory over a tough Tennessee Titans team.
Thomas went into the record books for most catches in a season with 144, breaking the record held 17 seasons by the Indianapolis Colts Marvin Harrison. It’s an amazing feat but, at this point, not unexpected as Thomas has already set multiple records along the way, including the fastest to 400 catches in a career and most catches in a player’s first four seasons (401). Franchise-wise he owns the records for catches in a season (145 and counting), yards in a season (1,668 and counting), catches in a game (16), yards in a game (211) and so on and so on.
Another low-key stat is that, while it seems like Thomas has been catching 10 balls a game his entire career, in fact he only had nine games with double digit catches his first three years. This year, Thomas has caught the pigskin 10 or more times nine times. That $100 million contract is starting to look like a bargain, especially when you consider the Saints other receivers (besides tight end Jared Cook) don’t inspire much confidence. To put it more bluntly, Ted Ginn Jr. (remember him?), Tre’Quan Smith and Austin Carr have 42 catches total. Woe is the day someone figures out how to take Thomas out of a game.
Oh yeah, I just remembered, Thomas also broke Randy Moss’ record for most receiving yards in the first four years of a career (5,396) and is 16 catches away from having the most catches in the first five years of a career. He’s only in his fourth year. This man is a beast. Can’t guard Mike, indeed.
Saints go 12-3
The Saints would need every one of Thomas’ catches on a weird Sunday that saw the Saints fall behind 14-3 to the Titans. The defense was completely unsettled and looked to have no idea how to defend a Derrick Henry-less Titans offense. The defensive backfield was falling for every play action, Marcus Williams was determined not to wrap anyone up and the Titans had the Saints on their heels. The baffled defense was complemented by a Saints offense that couldn’t get out of its own way and its injury-plagued offensive line was leaking like a sieve. Honestly, aside from Deonte Harris repeatedly setting up the offense with great field position there were literally no highlights in the first quarter and a half. It all added up to feeling like the Saints were not going to bring home a much-needed 12th victory in the race for home field advantage in the NFC. Thankfully the defense settled down and the offense caught on fire.
The defense led the charge in the second quarter, settling down and completely shutting down the opposing offense. Their effort was rewarded by the offense when Brees, who threw a few passes that should have been picked off, finally connected with Jared Cook for a 61-yard touchdown. After an awful first half, the Saints would enter the locker room trailing on 14-10.
The weirdness wouldn’t end there. The Saints seemed to take control during the third quarter, putting up two touchdowns to take a 24-14 lead. The defense continued to dominate the Titans offensive line. On the day, the Saints would record five sacks and 8 tackles-for-loss. However, right when they had the chance to put the game away, it was the Titans Ryan Tannehill rolling to his right on a perfectly defended play and, before you knew it, connecting with Tajae Sharpe, who slipped behind the defense and headed to paydirt to pull the Titans within three points.

Shortly thereafter, after the Saints blew a faked punt attempt the momentum was about to tilt into the Titans favor when Tannehill connected with Kalif Raymond on a 23-yard gain into Saints territory. Unfortunately for Raymond, he was completely blown up by C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Fortunately for the Saints, Raymond fumbled and Gardner-Johnson returned the turnover to the Titans 25-yard line. It was the only turnover on this weird Sunday and proved to be critical. After that, Thomas headed into the record books and the Saints headed home victorious.
The Saints remain alive for Dome field advantage. They obviously need to care of business in Carolina next week and will need the Vikings to beat the Packers tonight and the Seahawks to beat the 49ers in Week 17. It can be done.
Who Dat!

Around the Way
Speaking of weird, the Tulane Green Wave basketball team lost two games this weekend. Now you’re asking, “and”? Here’s the thing. Instead of the usual numbness to a team that always loses this weekend’s losses sort of stung because, hold onto your hat, Tulane basketball is improving. A day after losing 62-61 to Akron, Tulane star Teshaun Hightower (who had 33 points) drained a three to force overtime versus Towson. The Wave would eventually lose 86-82 but keep an eye on this team, folks.
The Green Wave close their non-conference schedule at 8-4 on the season and travel to Memphis Dec. 30 to take on the Memphis Tigers in their conference opener.

By Qaisar Sultan
The religious fervor finds solace in murdering and maiming the voice of reason; and that was the cause of murder of the governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer, a true liberal and secular leader- Is there any place safe in Pakistan for an enlightened man like him? Why a man of his intelligence would stay in politics and made enlightened views known to those, deprived of reason and civility? The murder of Salman Taseer was the murder of the voice of reason and courage. May be we, as a nation, should begin soul searching for what kind of future state we wish to live in; something closer to Afghanistan? The other bold and courageous voice of Shari Rehman may be curbed if she stayed too long in the land of murder and mayhem. One has to admire the courage and stand that the leaders of People Party have taken on the blasphemy issue. I hope that they have the audacity to abolish the blasphemy laws. I think we may survive the corruption and ineptness, as we have decided to have “self-indulgent democracy”; we better live with the PPP for next two years. One thing is crystal-clear after this murder and rallies in favor of the murderer that the religious extremism will surely do us in. They are openly threatening the liberal activists, people in the government &politics and the judiciary to stay away from speaking or doing anything against their agenda to turn Pakistan into a theocratic state. The rest of the political parties are stuck in their petty arguments, complaints, grievances and narrow agendas to stay or take over the power- They wish to be on the side of what benefits them; and that is all; there is no conviction and there are no principles. The extremists settle score by killing and taking the direct route to heaven. There is nothing that can shock me when it is about Pakistan. What troubled me the most was the support of the lawyers, ML-N and other civic groups for the murderer? A man who admitted murder has been hailed as a hero to the Muslim world; and we call ourselves peaceful people! What has gone wrong with us? Why this sense of piety and closeness to God translates into killings? Do hearsay and innuendos offer sufficient reason to take human life? The validity of a moral or religious norm or conduct cannot simply reside in the minds and ambit of extreme orthodoxy and fanaticism. The murder can never be justified by an isolated individual reflecting upon the religion and its presumed unbendable demands, though in the agreement with the opinion of limited few. If few Muslims or even a huge majority wish to isolate themselves in regards to some universal obligation of limiting an individual finding a religious duty to kill another human being, how would we justify asking others to give any respect or rights to the Muslim communities. There must be impartiality in the universal obligations and respect for the religious sensitivities.
What was more nauseating: The lawyers supporting the murderer? An attorney is an officer of the court and pledges oath to the constitutions and the laws of the land. They have to stand above their subjective view of a legal matter and their religious sensibilities. The lawyers are out there to consent to the legitimacy to murderous validation. In Pakistan, the lawyer’s community has become one of the most activist groups to break the laws. They beat up judges and politicians; and support murderers. Is murder allowed in the Pakistani laws? The vigilante concepts of taking laws in someone hand may sound pleasing at times; the consequences of violence are awesome. The murders are part of expressing the unwritten, but well understood, way of defending the political order of our culture. It stems out of illiteracy, feudalism, tribal mentality and extreme religiosity. The Madrasahas, religious parties and fanatical groups provide the most fertile environment where drops of blood help furthering the fertilization of the soil thirsty for more weeds in the shape of human monsters to grow. The human fungi in form of fundamentalists, terrorists and fake upholders of our religion have spread out to kill and destroy innocent human lives and a possibility of decent culture. The religion has become the source of political power. The religious political parties are out there to influence the polity of the country through violence, disturbing peace by demonstrations and demagoguery; provoking and preying on popular religious prejudices and projecting the religious imagery- Like God needs protection of the evil bunch! The irony is that the secular political forces are corrupt and weak. The military which is the main source of real power in the country has to balance their dubious hedonistic life style and religiosity at the same time; former to enjoy and latter to exploit.
The apostasy, Hersey and blasphemy, in one form or other, have been around as far as we find the establishment of the religion, especially in Abrahamic religions. The Jewish religion asked for the death for those who committed blasphemy. The Christianity took heresy and blasphemy to its extreme- The Catholics burnt people alive, cut the bodies in half and severed the heads in the case of what they considered heresy or blasphemy. How they could take insult to their God and His son? Those evil men in the time of inquisition felt spiritually motivated in the name of God to kill and hurt people. The Muslims, Jews and even other Christian sects of Spain experienced the horrible inquisition. Islam took a more moderate stand to find compassion in pardoning those who recanted or demonstrated remorse; they even allowed exiling the blasphemer- But they left in the hands of the Islamic states to provide and dispense the laws of the land. That is one reason that the state religion is a proposition that puts others in danger. If anything that is being exalted with reverence, should that be enough cause to kill? The Christians did exactly the same- If someone did not pronounce Christ as Son of God, it was heresy; and still is considered as heresy- It is a crime against God in their eyes. Thank God for the secularism of the West that people like myself and our children can live in the countries without the state telling us what to believe and what to say or not. If I say that Christ was just a prophet and not Son of God, there is not an evil Malik Qadri shooting me down and lawyer’s community putting the flower garlands on his neck. There is no Muslim Asia Begum in modern Western states to be hanged where our men and women openly and proudly refuse to call Christ as Son of God. They may not like or hate us for what we believe in; but the state and its laws protect all the citizens. The Pakistani Muslims living abroad feel safer living in the West than in Pakistan; just think about Christians and other religious minorities. Pakistan and its laws must give protection and security to all the citizens. If there is one word to suggest saving the country from violence, I would say “tolerance”.

One thought on “Tolerance”
Syed Ahmed January 10, 2011 at 9:30 pm
QUOTE: The religious fervor finds solace in murdering and maiming the voice of reason;
UNQUOTE: THIS IS NOT TRUE, FOR REASON DIDN’T WORK WITH THE GOVERNOR AND OTHER PARLIMENTARIANS TO NOT TO AMEND BLASPHEMY LAW.
If people were using this law to unduely subdue their enemies, it is the defeat of the law people which doesn’t certainly mean to bring changes in the blasphemy law so as to make it softer killing its very spirit.
The public and the serious and religious citizenery of Pakistan is sick of the jugglery of the politicians who are mostly feudal lords and wanted to halt their vitious efforts in hoodwinking the nation and the ummah. This is the beginning of the mass countering of the irreligious politicians and they should take a serious warning now, for, blasphemy shouldn’t be considered a paying job, it has very serious consequences in our religion and it doesn’t go unpardonable by the rulers. They have to kill the person, if proved in the court of law, as they have no other option, nor they should toy away with it. Their days are numbered if they continue their irreligiousness on this issue.

Creepy New Orphan Black Season 4 Teaser Goes Down the Rabbit Hole
Janey Tracey
Thursday, 14 January 2016 - 11:41AM
Over the last three seasons, Orphan Black has created an intricate, multi-layered conspiracy that includes Dyad, Proletheans, Neolution, Project Leda, Project Castor, and God knows what else. In the newest teaser for season four, we catch up with the sestra clones, who are going further down the rabbit hole of the clone conspiracy than ever before.
In this teaser, we see a lot of creepy imagery that doesn't spell anything good for our favorite sister clones, all set to lines from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Cosima collapses from her failing health, Helena has either been abused or has engaged in self-harm, and Alison is apparently taken hostage. We catch a glimpse of MK, the newest clone who serves a "Deep Throat"-esque function and wears a sheep mask (for Dolly the Sheep, of course), and will work with Sarah to uncover layers of the conspiracy.
But the clone who seems to be the key to everything is-who else?- Beth Childs. Carroll's most famous line, "You have to go forward to go back," is paired with imagery from Beth's suicide, so her mysterious place in the conspiracy will likely play a large role in the upcoming season. We began the show with her and will likely end it with her, judging from these latest promos and Sarah's vision of her at the end of last season.
Orphan Black returns for season four in April on BBC.

Rank #1: Liam Gallagher Has A Lot To Be Happy About
One of my favorite viral videos in recent memory involved Liam Gallagher, former front man of Oasis, answering questions from a group of kids. It showcased his supremely talented wit, and a bit of his heart too. You can hear that joy in Gallagher's voice today, as he's got a lot to be happy about. 'Why Me? Why Not.' is the name of his second solo album, released in September, and he's also the subject of a new documentary called "Liam Gallagher: As It Was". The film chronicles the break-up of Oasis, the band that made him famous. The group was well-known, not only for songs like "Live Forever," "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger," but also because of the notoriously tense relationship between Liam and his brother Noel, who wrote the band's songs. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Oasis' debut album, 'Definitely Maybe'. We'll talk about all of that, plus why he admires his mother so much and how different it is to be a young rock star today than it was in the '90s.
Rank #2: Robbie Robertson On His Creative And Symbiotic Relationship With Martin Scorsese
Robbie Robertson is a very busy guy. This year alone, he released a new album, 'Sinematic', re-released The Band's self-titled sophomore album (celebrating its 50th anniversary) and worked with pal Martin Scorsese on two different projects. He scored "The Irishman", starring guys like Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino and helped with the documentary "Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band", which talks about his group's seminal work and the band members' relationships with one another. In other words, there's a lot to talk about, including getting booed every night backing Bob Dylan's first electric tour. We also chat about making music at Big Pink, Neil Diamond showing up for 'The Last Waltz' and oh-so-much more.

A preview of upcoming conversations and improvisations with Marian McPartland and the brightest stars from the world of jazz.
Rank #1: Tony Bennertt, 1990.
Ever-popular song stylist Tony Bennett was McPartland's guest for the first time in 1990. Bennett vocalizes American popular songs like nobody else can. When he was starting out, a voice teacher, Miriam Spier, famously told him: "Don't imitate singers, imitate musicians." So, Bennett decided to emulate Art Tatum. He also credits his relaxed delivery to the inspiration of Mildred Bailey. On this edition of Piano Jazz, Bennett sings "Stay as Sweet as You Are" and "Imagination." There's no need to guess who's playing the accompaniment.
Rank #2: Jess Stacy, 1982.
This week's Piano Jazz presents an episode from the early years of the program with guest Jess Stacy (1904 – 1995), who came out of retirement to appear on the show in 1982. One of the leading pianists of the swing era, Stacy was best known for his work with the Benny Goodman Orchestra and had a prolific career before stepping back from the music world in the 1950s. In this classic session from the archives, Stacy needs no introduction as he starts the show with a solo performance of "Dancing Fool." McPartland joins to end the hour with "St. Louis Blues."
Live performances and conversations in which artists talk about their work, their process, and themselves. Genre-blind but open-eared. Hosted by John Schaefer.
Rank #1: Bombay Bicycle Club Finds Solace in Music .
British guitar band Bombay Bicycle Club cites New York bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs as inspiration. But since they signed to Island as teenagers more than a decade ago, they’ve run the gamut from indie-jangly-folky, then electro-based, and now growly yet melancholy guitar-based pop. Now back together after some time away, there is new hope in their riff-driven hooky sound, which is about finding solace in music. Bombay Bicycle Club joins us in the studio to preview songs from their forthcoming new record, Everything Else Has Gone Wrong. - Caryn Havlik Watch the session here:
Rank #2: American Troubadour Steve Earle Covers Texan Great Guy Clark .
Watch the session here: Steve Earle has been many things – a Grammy-winning musician, a political activist, a writer, an actor. He’s also, a music fan. Specifically, he’s a fan of two late, great Texas songwriters, Townes Van Zandt, and Guy Clark. Ten years ago, he released an album called Townes, where he covered that singer’s work. Now it’s Guy Clark’s turn. Steve Earle and The Dukes have recorded a whole album of Clark’s songs – the record is called Guy, and it brings Steve Earle back to our studio.

Rank #1: A. Sinclair “Weeds” [PREMIERE].
For our final Song of the Day of 2019 we’re pulling the cover off a new single from one of our all-time favorite local rockers: Aaron Sinclair. After his tenure with Boston’s The Lot Six, Sinclair backed a bit away from his punk duds, relocated to Austin and doubled down on straight ahead rock n roll under the name A. Sinclair. Sinclair’s brutally honest brand of working class storytelling and knack for pop-leaning phrases have remained a constant in light of many crests and valleys for more than a decade now, and when his band steps on stage, it’s a full throttle experience. This prolific songwriter has just added another bold track to his already impressive discography, coinciding with a release show tonight at The Mohawk, so get out of the weeds of 2019 with…well…”Weeds”! –Jack Anderson
Rank #2: The Harlem Gospel Travelers: “Am I Doing Enough”.
When a group of young musicians is knowledgeable and respectful enough of a certain craft, age is no measure of maturity. Take the four gentlemen in The Harlem Gospel Travelers, who despite the fact that the eldest is only twenty two, collectively possess decades worth of soul and gospel know-how. The performance discipline and classic gospel mindset embodied by these native New Yorkers has earned the Travelers some impressive guest appearances on their debut album, including drummer Aaron Frazer of Durand Jones & The Indications and Arctic Monkeys engineer Loren Humphrey. At ten well-rounded tracks, He’s On Time serves as an exceptional introduction to The Harlem Gospel Travelers, and you can hear the full thing now, starting off with a video recorded in the quartet’s home turf: “Am I Doing Enough”! –Jack Anderson Order He’s on Time Photo: Jacob Blickenstaff

Rank #1: American Icons: ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ — Part Two.
A half century later, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” is still shaping our future.

In Part Two of our look at the movie in our American Icons series, we visit the same IBM research lab that helped inspire HAL. We meet CIMON, a real-life AI robot on the International Space Station and Garrett Reisman, a former NASA astronaut who blasted the “Blue Danube” in the space shuttle.

On the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, we look at the ways his work continues to change and adapt. In the 19th century, Shakespeare’s work got caught up in minstrel shows — and African-American actors are still struggling to claim the Bard as their own. Also, we find out how a father-son team is changing the way Shakespeare sounds by bringing back his original pronunciation. And we go inside the pioneering immersive theater experience “Sleep No More,” which might be the longest-running Shakespeare adaptation ever. Learn more about your ad choices.

Venoco files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
By Staff Report / Friday, March 18th, 2016 / Comments Off on Venoco files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Venoco, the Denver-based oil and gas company with substantial operations in the tri-county region, has filed a pre-packaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy after agreeing with lenders to slash $1 billion in debt.
Venoco said March 18 that it reached an agreement with its senior lenders on a restructuring agreement. The company earlier said it was suspending debt payments in order to negotiate better terms. The Chapter 11 reorganization filing was before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.
“Today’s announcement represents another significant step in our ongoing efforts to address the challenges before us and position the company for long-term success,” said CEO Mark DePuy.
Venoco has been buffeted by both the plunge in oil prices and the shutdown of Plain All American’s pipelines, which are the only way for the company’s output from offshore platforms on the South Coast to reach broader markets. The company earlier raised some $200 million in cash through the sale of Ventura County operations but the pipeline break and falling oil prices hurt cash flow.
“While we continue to be in a strong cash position, the declining price of oil and the ongoing closure of Plains All American pipeline 901 continue to be serious problems,” DePuy said. The company said in a statement that is has “sufficient liquidity” to maintain normal operations.
Venoco said that founder Tim Marquez will remain executive chairman during the restructuring process. The company said he will “provide leadership and strategic counsel to the company after the company emerges from restructuring.”
Marquez helmed the company through a public stock offering but his family became its sole owner in a go-private transaction. The company did not state whether Marquez would retain any ownership stake after the Chapter 11 restructuring.

Tech Audit
By Lisa Shorr, PCWorld |
Real tech solutions for real small businesses.
Saving Money, Space, and Energy With Blade Virtualization
In 1986, Attorney Nicholas Barrett founded Nicholas Barrett & Associates with just himself and an assistant running the business. But over the last 24 years, that small two-person office has grown into a bustling 45-person law firm specializing in litigation, real estate law, collections, and loan servicing.
Like any busy law office, Nicholas Barrett & Associates is a document-driven business that depends on reliable e-mail and file servers to meet clients' deadlines. However, over the years, the company's 12 rack-mounted 2U white-box Windows 2003 servers utilized for file and print, email, application, web, SQL and document storage, had become increasingly unreliable.
Further, the company's infrastructure had become prone to crashes due to single points of failure including switches, hard drives, and RAID controllers. They were also running out of space in their small server room inhibiting expansion of their network infrastructure. Cooling issues and overheating were also wreaking havoc on their network. After suffering from several serious crashes that created days of down-time and lost productivity, Nicholas Barrett called my team at PC Troubleshooters.
A Simpler Solution
Rather than waste the company's time and money overhauling each of the 12 aging servers individually, we opted for a simpler, more streamlined approach. In one fell swoop, we replaced all 12 servers with a single IBM Blade Center S Chassis with six HS21 IBM Blades. This solution has reduced the rack footprint of the server room from 24U down to 7U, allowing plenty of room for expansion in the previously cramped data center. This move reduced the amount of power consumption and heat generation by about 50 percent, which has reduced the company's heating and cooling expenses and electric bill by approximately $300 per month.
Within the Blade server, we virtualized the 12 existing machines using Citrix XenServer. By virtualizing the office's servers with Citrix, we have consolidated and reduced their reliance on many physical servers. Now NBA has the capacity to easily expand their network infrastructure to accommodate the law firm's rapid growth without purchasing more hardware. It also provides the ability to quickly and easily backup and restore their data should disaster strike.
Images of the firm's virtual servers are now kept off-site in secure co-location facilities. This enables NBA to recover their systems quickly (in minutes, rather than days) in case of power outages, fire, theft or even human error.
We created our own backup and disaster recovery system by deploying a network-attached storage device onsite and using StorageCraft ShadowProtect software to image servers on an hourly basis. Each image is encrypted and sent to two separate storage facilities in Maryland and Colorado.
[ Further reading: Best NAS boxes for media streaming and backup ]
This virtual server installation is a strong first step toward greening Nicholas Barrett & Associates' IT infrastructure. The firm is now using less power to operate its server room, saving $3,600 annually in electricity costs.
Because of the Blade Center S's high fault tolerance, the servers are less prone to costly down time, which means substantial savings in productivity throughout the firm. The Blade Center offers no single point of failure. It has redundant power supplies, hard drives, RAID controllers, switches and network cards, so that any single failure will not take down the system.

A 9-day cycling tour through the Picos de Europa
Cycle the Picos De Europa
The Picos de Europa is a breathtaking geological explosion of high snow-covered jagged peaks and deep narrow gorges carved by icy rivers full of salmon and trout. While not the highest mountains in Spain, they are arguably the most beautiful. The whole range is tiny by mountain standards - only 312 sq. miles - but of such awesome beauty that they almost defy accurate description. They form part of the powerful Cordillera Cantabrica mountain range that extends across northern Spain. The Picos de Europa, just 15 miles from the Cantabrian coast, converge at the borders of 3 provinces -Cantabria, Asturias and León.
2020 Itinerary
It was in the Picos de Europa that the remains of ancient man have been discovered in many of its caves - Altamira,of course, being the most famous. Thousands of years later, the Romans invaded and left their inevitable roads and bridges. Most importantly though for most Spaniards, during the 8thC Christian Spain began its reconquest from the Moors under the leadership of the Visigoth king, Pelayo. It's no wonder then that the region remains one steeped in legends and miracles.
Most of our cycling will be through the stunning gorges that dissect the Picos. While fairly easy riding throughout, there will be only one long climb of 20km/12.5m. However, the van will be ready and waiting for those wanting a lift either partially or all the way to the top. On both of our layover days we will take advantage of the superb hiking trails to enjoy the Picos from another perspective - our feet!
The cuisine of the Picos is typical hardy mountain fare. The specialties are a wonderful bean stew called fabada, trout and salmon from the rivers, smoked meats and heavenly cheeses such as smoked Aliva and a blue cheese of almost mythical fame, Cabrales. There are no typical wines of the Picos - most natives drink the regional sidra (hard apple cider) - but the wonderful wines of other parts of Spain, such as, Rioja, Valdepeñas, Duero etc., are readily available everywhere.
Day One — Comillas
After a 10:00am meeting in Bilbao at the Barcelo Bilbao Nervion, we’ll visit the very beautiful Guggenheim Museum. Designed by the American architect, Frank O. Gehry, it has been called “the greatest building of our time”. Housing 20thC art, it has permanent collections that revolve between the foundations other museums in New York and Venice, of virtually every great name in modern and contemporary art plus many temporary exhibits. The building itself, however, is what steals the show. Built in a cubist style of lofty titanium curves that glimmer and shine, the building both astounds and delights you when you come upon it. The main entrance is home to Puppy, Jeff Koons enormous flower sculpture that was intended to be a temporary exhibit for the opening but so endeared itself to the Bilbainos that they pleaded for it to be a permanent part of the museum. It’s now inseparable from the building itself and provides a wonderful juxtaposition of sophisticated modern and corny kitsch. Inside, the building has a light-filled atrium that the galleries and walkways lead off from. The Fish Gallery is the largest in the world and intended to hold exhibits of enormous sculptures. We’ll have a audio-guided tour in English at 11:00am.
After a quick lunch, we’ll transfer by bus 104k/65m away to the charming hotel, Marina de Campios, set in the center of the charming seaside resort town of Comillas. This is primarily dairy country but is becoming more popular as a tourist destination because of its stunning unspoiled beaches on the Cantabrian Sea. Once we get to our hotel, you’ll have the afternoon free to relax and/or enjoy a walk to the beach before your bike fitting. One of the most striking buildings in Comillas is El Capricho de Gaudi (across the street from our hotel). This is one of only 3 buildings by the famous Catalán modernista architect, Antoní Gaudi, outside of Catalunya. It was designed for the daughter of a close friend of his and is now open to visitors. You can also visit the gardens where there's a startling little statue of Gaudi sitting on a garden bench!
Tonight's accomodation: Hotel Marina de Campios – A lovely boutique hotel in the center of town.
Day Two — Comillas to Potes (Liebana) (69km / 43m)
This morning, we will get our first taste of one of the Picos spectacular gorges - the Hermida Gorge. This gorge (desfiladera, in Spanish) is the narrowest in the Picos - so steep that during the winter sunlight rarely gets through in many places. It eventually opens out into the Liébana Valley. On the way, we suggest a little detour to visit the tiny Mozarabic church of Stª Maria Lebeña built in the 10thC. This beautiful little church is considered by many to be the finest example of Moorish influenced Christian architecture in Europe and highly unusual considering that the Moors barely penetrated this area of Spain. The floral motifs on its columns are Visigothic, while below the main 18th-century altarpiece stands a Celtic stone engraving. The yew tree outside (reduced to a sad stump by a storm in 2007) was planted a thousand years ago. Santa María de Lebeña is undoubtedly an unspoiled little architectural jewel and one of our favourite places.
Our destination for the night is the beautiful Posada el Corcal de Liebana with stunning views we enjoy two nights in this traditional mountain inn. Just 2km from our inn is the lively little mountain town Potes - gateway to the Picos. Potes has heaps of mountaineering shops plus the usual tourist shops.
Two night’s acommodation: Posada El Corcal de Liebana
Day Three — Loop ride from Potes (52km / 32m)
Today is a ride to the source of the Río Deva in Fuente Dé. Or, you can opt for a transfer by van to and from Fuenté Dé where you take a terrifying cable car up 960mts/3,146ft to one of the highest spots in the Picos at 1.964mt/6,440ft and then walk to the Refugio de Aliva (4.5k/2.8m) for some delicious lunch with spectacular views before hiking back to the cable car and your bikes or van. This is one of the most spectacular "musts" of the Picos - you're whisked suddenly from the lush green of the Liébana Valley floor to the lunarscape of the mountain-top, still dotted with pockets of snow.
Day Four — Potes to Riano (59km / 37m)
This is the day of the dreaded 20 km climb, with a difference in height of 1.142mt/3,746ft!! Once at the top of the San Glorio Pass the views are exhilarating and the air bracing - be sure to bring a warm jacket, as well as, a dry shirt to change into for the long downhill. A good lunch stop is Llanaves de la Reina or Portilla de la Reina(still going downhill) at the head of the Yuso River Gorge, famous for its spectacular rock coloring. Your destination is the little town of Riaño on the banks of the immense Riaño Reservoir in the province of León. The vegetation will have given way to the arid scrub and moorland so typical of the areas of northern León. This reservoir was the subject of much controversy. In 1966 the Franco regime claimed eminent domain over the valley when they decided to turn it into a reservoir. Compensation of sorts was paid to the people of the many villages involved but then the plans were shelved until the 1980s when the Socialist party then decided to move forward with it. The inhabitants, children of the people who were originally compensated, were forcibly evicted with no further compensation. There were protests all over Spain about it but to no avail. In 1987, the dam was sealed and flooding commenced and that was that. Tonight's accommodation: Hotel Presa – In the centere of the town, it’s an easy stroll to the reservoir.
Day Five — Riano to Cangas de Onis (67km / 42m)
This is the day we do my very favorite ride through the most beautiful gorge in Europe - the Desfiladero de los Beyos. There’s a gentle climb of 3k/2m and then a gentle downhill from here on for 35k/21.7m!! In the pretty village of Oseja de Sajambre you can pick up fruit and bread for a picnic - lots of spots along the way. Riding on through the heavenly gorge, will eventually bring us to the original capital of Christian Spain - Cangas de Onis. Two night's accommodation: The lovely Parador de Cangas de Onis is one of the newest in the famous Spanish Parador chain and our home for the next 2 nights. It’s set in the ancient 12thC Monastery of San Pedro de Villanueva along the banks of the Río Sella. When the monastery was restored and turned into a hotel many of the excavated floors were left as they were with Plexiglas over the top so you can see the foundations below.
Day Six — Walk along the Cares Gorge (12km / 7.5m)
A day off the bikes to take a hike along the most famous of the Picos gorges - the Desfiladero del Cares. This is one of Spain's premier walks - 12km following the Cares River along a path that's nothing short of an engineering miracle carved right out of the stone face of the gorge. It winds along high above the river through tunnels and under waterfalls following the irrigation canal before it finally opens out into the valley and ending in the little hamlet of Caín. (See N.B. below) We will have to take a taxi to Poncebos (36km/22.5m) to the start of the walk. Here you’ll cut through the mountains and wind up in the heart of the Picos, from where we’ll take taxis back to the Parador (58km/36m). The café at the start of the walk can supply us with delicious sandwiches and drinks (remember to bring plenty of water). There'll be a stand (MAYBE) set up about ½ way along the walk with drinks and snacks but no sandwiches. The walk will take about 3-4hrs depending on how long you stop for lunch.
Day Seven — Cangas de Onis to Alles (48km / 30m)
The first stop today is Covadonga, the birthplace of Christian Spain. Here, in 718, the Visigoth King Pelayo and a small group of followers repulsed the Moorish armies at odds (according to Christian chronicles) of 31 to 400,000! Not surprisingly, this started the ball rolling for the Christian Reconquest, which then went on for 770 years until the fall of Granada in 1492. The focus of our visit is the cave used as a base by Pelayo, now a chapel containing the hero's sarcophagus and the statue of the Virgen of Covadonga who aided Asturians in the fight against the Moors. This shrine is of tremendous importance to the Spanish and is at the heart of Spanish national history. Because of Covadonga, Asturias is considered a principality as opposed to a province – the heir to the Spanish throne is called the Principe de Asturias (rather like the Prince of Wales in England).
Riding east from Covadonga along several lovely rivers brings us to Arenas de Cabrales, the production center for the fabulous blue cabrales cheese - smelly but delicious! Let the guides know if you’re interested in visiting the caves where this famous cheese is cured.
Visit to Cabrales cheese caves in Arenas de Cabrales. Heading on we’ll eventually arrive at your home for the night, La Tahona de Besnes, a charming hotel on the banks of a little burbling brook in the most bucolic of settings. Tonight's accommodation: La Tahona de Besnes.
Day Eight — Alles to Santillana del Mar (25km / 15.5m)
Your last day (snif!) takes you out of the hills and back on to the coast. Your first & last main stop is the little village of Unquera on the Deva River, you'll leave your bikes and transfer to the village of Buelles where you’ll be fitted out for a canoe trip up the Deva River back to Unquera. After the canoe trip, there is a further 44km ride to Santillana del Mar. Jean Paul Satre made Santillana famous by pronouncing it “the most beautiful village in Spain”. Tonight's accommodation: Parador Santillana del Mar in the historic part of town.
Day Nine — Farewell
From Santillana we offer shuttles to Santander and Bilbao.

Finding Happiness 3
January 28, 2017 Peju Leave a Comment
“Can you imagine Lisa, that little maggot in that house called me a tramp last night!” Deifa told her closest friend who was seated beside her in the passenger seat of her car. Lisa had hitched a ride to school with her since her own car was at the auto shop for the day.
“You don’t mean it!, Lisa said, her eyes growing wide as saucers. She knew Diefa didn’t get along with her step family and that fights were a common thing in her house but it still shocked her the things that happened under that roof.
“Hmmm, the girl is really trying herself,” Deifa continued “I had gone in quietly, ignoring the woman and her son, even though I knew I was the topic of discussion as I heard my name when I was outside the door and then she just came in and called me a tramp, just like that!” She explained, keeping her eyes on the road as she drove “Lisa, in the mood I was yesterday I didn’t know when I told her, all her generations to come would all be tramps.”
Her friend burst into laughter “You said what? that her generations to come would all be tramps?” she repeated and then shook her head “Girl, you’ve got one hell of a bad mouth…how did they react to that?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t really care,” She shrugged “I just said my own and continued up the stairs, no time for nonsense abeg!”
“What is wrong with the girl sef? Why doesn’t she just stay on her own? She’s always in your business one way or another,” Lisa asked.
“ I wonder o, all of them in that house, they are all just so damn annoying. Everyone is so annoying right now,” she complained turning to Lisa, she flashed a quick smile “except for you, sweetheart,” turning back to keep her eyes on the road, she continued “The family lawyer keeps telling me I can’t leave the house, or else blah blah blah would happen and then, there’s Osas, being his annoying, irrational self again!” she shook her head, sighing.
Lisa wasn’t surprised at that last bit of news “What did that your idiot boyfriend do this time?” the two quarreled at least once every day, they were not supposed to be together, she just didn’t understand why Deifa stuck with such a low life.
Deifa took her eyes briefly off the road again, this time giving Lisa a warning look “Don’t call Osas an idiot, he’s my boyfriend.”
“yeah….. and that’s one of the greatest mysteries on earth, how light and darkness could become boyfriend and girlfriend…. Deifa don’t you get it? You guys aren’t compatible and that’s why you are always fighting.”
“ I love him so much” Deifa said quietly “you’ll never get it but we are very much in love.”
“No Deifa,” Lisa countered “you think you love him, try someone else and I’m sure you’d see what a loser he is, gosh! for someone intelligent you could be really dense sometimes, no offense abeg!”
“ For goodness sake Lise, can you just get off my case already, Osas and i love and understand each other perfectly, so please butt out!” Deifa finally snapped. Lisa just loved to go on and on about this but she could never understand.
Lisa raised her hands in surrender, realizing she might have pushed her friend too far “Okay, okay, butting out of your relationship! Do you want to talk about what he did this time?”
Deifa’s shoulders slumped “Its this issue with that Mirabel abi Mira or whatever her name is called, I asked him again yesterday evening, if he was seeing her and he took offense. He just lost his cool and began yelling, calling me all sorts of names in public!”
Lisa raised a brow “Shocker,” she muttered sarcastically.
Deifa glared at her “Lisa?”
“What? Are you surprised he acted the way he did? he’s your boyfriend, you should know him better than I do, right?” Lisa sneered
“Seriously Lisa, maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, cause it’s the same thing you do every time….. you never hesitate to tell me what a low life you think Osas is.” Deifa said rubbing her brow as if to ward off a growing headache.
It was at the tip of Lisa’s tongue to reply Deifa, telling her that Osas was the lowest of some of the lowlives she could have picked for a boyfriend but refrained from it, it would only upset her more and so she decided to let it go.
Calmly, she said instead “Didi….. if everyone says he’s seeing her then he really is, why won’t you just believe that?”
Deifa groaned “I need solid proof, not hearsay Lisa”
“Okay…” she tried from another angle “but even if he isn’t cheating on you, he doesn’t treat you well, he insults you and has even hit you before, so why are you still with this guy?”
“Just once, Lise! that was a one time thing, it’s never happened again, and he’s always sorry when he calms down. He just has a quick temper, you can’t blame him for that, that’s just the way he is.”
Lisa sighed resignedly “you keep making excuses for him, Didi. You are one the most popular personalities in school, you’re good looking, intelligent, you certainly could do much much better, why Osas?”
“That’s it Alissa, you’ll never understand. can we put aside my relationship issues and focus on the charity auction we have coming up soon”
Lisa knew her friend was running, trying to hide behind the preparations for the event when she very well knew it was going well but Lisa decided to oblige her without complaining. She had given her enough to think about for one day, she would save the rest for some other time. “ It’s all going to plan, Didi, venue, guest list, sponsors, it’s all going real good.”
“Great, it’s in a few weeks time and I want it to be perfect, how bout the IV’s?”
“ I had Alissa send them all out last night. The next part is getting interested guys for the auction, Lara is compiling a list, she’ll brief us when she’s done.”
They talked some more about the planning until Deifa’s phone began to ring, she picked it up to glance quickly at the screen, to see Osas’s number. guiltily she exchanged glances with Lisa, she didn’t want to pick it with Lisa there, clearly he was calling back to apologize, like he usually did whenever he’d calmed down after a fight.
“The beast calling beauty,” Lisa commented snidely
“Oh shut up.” Deifa said before picking the call, putting it on speaker since she was driving. Osas’s voice came up on the speakers of her car and suddenly she felt giddy, forgiving and forgetting the fight they’d had the day before.
“Hello sunshine,” he said.
Lisa rolled her eyes unconvinced at his phony endearment, mouthing silently “loser,”
Deifa ignored her “hello,” She replied blandly intending not to give in so easily, He’d really humiliated and annoyed her the day before.
“ Sweetheart,” he called softly “are you still pissed?”
“Take a wild guess Osas.” She replied still bland.
“Sweety you should know me and my temper, I didn’t mean any of what I said yesterday. I’m so sorry sweetie, you know how much I love you. I didn’t mean any of it, honest.”
He was getting to her again, she could feel her heart melting like wax “ Osas, you insulted me in the presence of your friends, you said some really mean things, you expect me to just forget about it all like that? You hurt me real deep Osas.”
“honey cake, I’m so sorry love, I’ll make it up to you. Just let me know how.”
Deifa rolled her eyes “It’s Okay, I’ll call you later, I’m driving now.”
“I want to see you by 7.00 pm, I’ll be at A – lounge bar in Wuse.”
“ I’m not sure I’ll be through with what I’m doing by then but I’ll call u back to let you know.”
“Deifa,” his tone became gruff, “I’ve apologized a million and one times already, what more do you want me to do? This is what you do that gets me so mad, You want me to crawl on my knees for you or what?”
The abrupt change in his tone shocked Deifa, even Lisa jumped, an instant frown of confusion creasing her brow “what are you talking about Osaro? I accepted your apology.”
“Indeed! So why are you now putting me on hold, what’s that all about Deifa? I put aside my male pride and called you up but you are still acting like the stuck up bitch you are.”
“Ha!” Lisa’s jaw dropped
“Osas, what’s your problem? You know I’ve got a lot of stuff to do with this gig coming up, I told you I was busy and meant it so why are you insulting me like this?” she asked exasperated.
“You can put all that aside and attend to me first. I come first not your stupid club and all the other irrelevant things you are always doing. Look I want to see you by 7.00 pm, get that into your stuck up little head.” With that he hung up.
Lisa was still shocked but managed to say “what just happened?”
Deifa shook her head bringing up a hand, trying to hold off Lisa from speaking “Lisa please I don’t want to hear anything now.”
“ Well too bad but I’m not going to shut up this time. What is wrong with him for goodness sake?”she asked “ He’d not even finished his apologies for yesterday before he started insulting you again? What sort of animal are you dating Deifa? What does this guy have that you love so much?”
“Every relationship has its ups and downs, Lisa” Deifa muttered quietly
“Yes, ups and downs not downs only. Didi, this relationship isn’t healthy, it’s draining you emotionally, there are awesome guys who will treat you like a princess. Not that ruffian who acts like a barbarian.”
“ Alissa, I’ve heard enough, thank you. Leave me and my boyfriend alone please, we’ll sort ourselves out” Deifa said giving her friend a look that said it was over but Alissa hadn’t quite finished yet.
“Deifa, I won’t sit back and watch that thug treat you this way. If I do I’m not a true friend. I’ll tell you what I think, that your so called boyfriend is a bloody thug and he treats you with not a single ounce of respect all the time and you say you love him,” She scoffed “I don’t understand you at all, do you enjoy being treated this way? Are you a masochist or what?”
Deifa was forced to grunt at Lisa’s accusation of her being masochistic “Lisa you won’t understand. You don’t know the real him, he’s really great, it’s just his quick temper.”
“If I didn’t know you better, I’d have said you were masochistic. Deifa I think-“
“look we are finally here” Deifa said cutting off her friend mid sentence as she parked the car in a space in the parking lot. They were now at the offices they rented on campus for their business.
She was thankful for the distraction that work would give her and finally a chance to distance herself from Lisa, who never hesitated to misjudge her boyfriend.
Everything was going well for her, she was one of the most popular people in the school, she made quite a good sum of money from modelling, and she had a substantial allowance every month but money or popularity didn’t mean happiness. Osaro who was supposed to be the love of her life, the only guy she’d ever dated in her life brought her so much pain. She loved him so much but he always found a way to make her unhappy at least once a week but he was always sorry after it all.
Nobody understood Osaro as she did, he was a nice guy, treated her really good when he was in a good mood. She loved him so much and didn’t care what anyone else said about him, he was a great guy just a bit misunderstood.
As she was about to walk through the entrance into the building, Lisa who had come around the car, pulled her aside.
“I’m going to let this issue drop for now but it’s not the end of it, trust me.” She said before walking in ahead of her.
Deifa rolled her eyes in exasperation. Why wouldn’t she just let this matter alone? It wasn’t like he was her own boyfriend sef, why was she so concerned?
Osas prided himself on his ruggedly handsome good looks. He could get any damn girl he pleased so why did Deifa act like she could boss him around? The girl just loved getting on his nerves. He’d decided to call her up pretending to be sorry as he always did, for the insults he’d reigned on her the day before because he knew if he didn’t do it she wouldn’t have bothered calling him. He shouldn’t have even bothered because she’d annoyed him again telling him she’d been busy. No girl could be too busy for him, he expected that whenever he called a girl she’d drop everything to be with him.
He could have chosen any other girl to be his girlfriend but he’d chosen her. She wasn’t just like every other girl, she had spunk, beauty, quite intelligent, from a very well to do home. she would have been perfect, if not for her attitude. She was too assertive, challenged and defied him at every turn. He would have walked away had it not been that he;d vested too much in the relationship to walk off now. He wasn’t leaving without popping that cherry she’d been guarding so preciously.
When they had begun dating three years back, he hadn’t minded her request that they abstain from sex, he’d only be concerned at clinching her as a girlfriend, thereby garnering the envy of the other guys in school. He’d believed with time, she’d loosen up and they would seal the deal but she hadn’t. There was no way he was ending the relationship without having a taste of her, he’d been very patient with her, and he deserved the reward.
She was still the most beautiful girl in school even though she’d won the contest four years before. She was popular and all the guys wanted her but she’d chosen him out of them all, because she’d found him more interesting than the others. Instead of pining after her and begging for her love like the other guys had done, he’d treated her with indifference like he hadn’t cared, which he hadn’t and still didn’t anyway. He was with her just because the other guys on campus envied him because of her and because of the long awaited cherry. He would have her one way or another but for now he decided to get some other chick to while away his time with.
He decided on Mira, that one would have his time. She and Deifa were rivals and as different as night and day. Deifa was reserved and carried herself with quiet pride while Mira was a noisy girl who didn’t give a damn about anyone or anything. She was as free as the wind, and unlike Deifa who fought with him all the time, he and Mira got along perfectly well.
She picked up on the second ring “Hey baby,” she said “how you doing? Been expecting your call.”
“oh really,” he asked “ and why’s that?”
She laughed sultrily “ Do you need to ask? we always have a blast whenever we’re together, or is it only me who has all the fun? the last time was even more awesome than the rest.”
He smiled remembering, they’d gone clubbing and had ended up in his apartment, the night hadn’t been bad. “ I had a great time, that’s why I’m calling you now.”
“ Finally got some space from the boss lady?”
“ Hey, she’s not my boss alright? I just want something different tonight. So are you up for tonight? I’m at the A-lounge bar at 7 pm.”
“ Sweet heart, 7p.m’s too late, where you at right now?”
“ My apartment, care to join me?”
“sure honey, get set, I’m on my way right this second, see ya” she said cutting off the call.
Osas smiled, now here was a girl after his heart, too bad she was known as the schools tramp.

Statistics show trend in domestic abuse against women in Massachusetts
By Percy Law Group, PC
There's no question that divorce is hard on anyone, even couples going through the most cooperative of splits. Unfortunately for many couples in Massachusetts, their marriages-and divorces-have been anything but cooperative. Sadly, a large number of people throughout the country are victims of domestic violence every day. This includes men, as well as women and children. Nobody should be treated to either physical or emotional abuse, no matter their gender or age. However, statistics have shown that women are most often the victims in reported cases of adult domestic violence in our state.
According to Jane Doe Inc., almost a third of all women in Massachusetts have experienced rape, physical abuse or stalking by a spouse or intimate partner. Between 2003 and 2012, at least 266 women were victims in murders related to domestic abuse. Getting a divorce from an abusive partner can be very difficult, but may be necessary for victims to protect themselves and their children.
The effects of domestic violence on children
Not surprisingly, being exposed to domestic abuse can have lifelong effects on young ones. Safe Horizon says that boys who grow up in abusive families often abuse their own partners and children, while girls most likely will become victims of abuse in their adult relationships. For this reason, it's imperative that those caring for children obtain custody arrangements that protect them from their abusers.
Not all abusive marriages include physical violence. Emotional and verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical blows, and even harder to recognize, says HelpGuide. If a person feels intimidated by her spouse or constantly worries that he will "blow up" in anger over trivial things, he may be emotionally abusive. An abuser will often use threats, yelling and manipulation to exert control over his victim. He is likely to restrict his victim's access to transportation, money, communication, family and friends to isolate her and prevent her from getting help.
Escaping an abusive relationship may not be easy, but is possible with the right support and resources. An effective escape plan should include the following:
Creating an escape plan and rehearsing it with a trusted family member or friend.
Storing emergency items, such as cash, clothing and documents, in a safe place.
Memorizing phone numbers and addresses of abuse shelters, police stations and other resources.
Reporting instances of abuse, including photographing injuries.
Additionally, a victim may protect herself legally by seeking a protective order. Advocacy groups or law enforcement can help with this important step.
Getting help from an attorney
An experienced family law attorney will be a vital factor in getting out of an abusive marriage. A lawyer will know additional resources to help victims receive support and protection, and will be able to take the steps necessary to protect children and help the family start a life free of fear and violence.

Guto Puw's Welsh-language opera premieres at the Vale of Glamorgan Festival
Labels: preview, Vale of Glamorgan Festival
Guto Puw and Gwyneth Glyn
The highlight of this year's Vale of Glamorgan Festival (19-26 May 2017) must be Music Theatre Wales' premiere of Guto Puw's Welsh language opera Y Tŵr (The Tower), but there are plenty of other good things on. The only UK festival devoted to the work of living composers, there are lots of other new pieces on offer with the Marsyas Trio showcasing music by six women composers, Onyx Brass performing another Guto Puw piece, this time for fairground organ and brass quintet, and the Apollon Musagete Quartet celebrating John Adams' 70th birthday. The festival finale features the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conductor Tecwyn Evans, in the premiere of Graham Fitkin's concerto for multiple amplified recorders, written for BBC Young Musician Finalist Sophie Westbrooke, and Huw Watkins' Cello Concerto performed by his brother Paul Watkins.
Y Tŵr, Guto Puw's first opera, is commissioned and performed by Music Theatre Wales in conjunction with Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru, the Welsh-language national theatre company. The libretto, by Welsh poet Gwyneth Glyn, adapts a classic play by Gwenlyn Parry which explores the journey of two people through life. Gwenlyn Parry (1932-1991) was one of the most important 20th century Welsh-language playwrights. He joined BBC Wales in 1966 where he helped establish the scripts department and worked on popular Welsh programmes such as Pobol y Cwm. He played a key role in popularising drama in theatre and television in the 1970s and 1980s, and his plays, including Y Tŵr had a huge impact.
Michael McCarthy directs the opera and Richard Baker conducts with a cast featuring Caryl Hughes and Gwion Thomas. There are two performances at the festival, 19 & 20 May 2017 at the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff (details from the festival website) and then Music Theatre Wales take the piece on tour - Aberystwyth (May 23), Bangor (May 25), Mold (June 5), Swansea (June 15) and the Buxton Festival (July 17). Full details from the Music Theatre Wales website.

Replacing cigarettes with vaping could cut early deaths
Clinical Pharmacist20 NOV 2017
Researchers modelled a hypothetical scenario where 95% of smokers in the United States switched to e-cigarettes over a 10 year period
The role of e-cigarettes in tobacco control is the subject of debate.
To explore the potential impact of replacing tobacco cigarettes with e-cigarettes, researchers modelled a hypothetical situation in which most cigarette smokers in the United States switch to vaping over a ten-year period, leaving 5% of the population as smokers.
The researchers compared a status quo scenario with optimistic and pessimistic versions of the hypothetical scenario.
They found that compared with the status quo, replacing tobacco cigarettes would result in 1.6–6.6 million fewer premature deaths, in the pessimistic and optimistic scenarios, respectively, and 20.8–86.7 million fewer life-years lost over a ten-year period.
Reporting in Tobacco Control (online, 2 October 2017), the team said the results indicated there were substantial life-year gains from replacing tobacco cigarettes with e-cigarettes, and raised the possibility of a feasible strategy to eradicate cigarette use altogether[1].

Home / Department of Public Health and Primary Care / Primary Care Unit / GP News / PCU Profile: Dr Yasar Khan, first generation medic
PCU Profile: Dr Yasar Khan, first generation medic
Dr Yasar Khan joined the GP Education Group (GPEG) at the Primary Care Unit in 2017. GPEG teaches hundreds of medical students every year – delivering 21% of the Cambridge clinical curriculum and teaching everything from dermatology to primary care paediatrics. Dr Khan is an Assistant Director with the team. He is a GP and medical educator who is also pursuing his Masters in Medical Education at the University of Bedfordshire.
How did you become interested in medicine?
“There was no single defining moment. In fact I struggle to recollect the exact narrative that led to being part of this great profession. I always found learning of the science subjects particularly intellectually invigorating. My experience of the medical profession revealed people who were compassionate and valued. I wanted to apply to train to be a doctor! I remember being asked why? My answer was always why not?”
So you were the first member of your family to study medicine? What were the barriers that you overcame to get into medical school? And what helped you?
“I did not have personal access to a member of the medical profession. On reflection this made it difficult to organise relevant work experience. I hand delivered a personal written letter to all the local GP surgeries requesting work experience but was unsuccessful. In the end I visited the voluntary services department at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital and a lady called Mrs Liz Bagshaw took pity on me. As it transpired, I had the most educationally valuable work experience shadowing a variety of professionals and speaking to patients. Without this experience I think it would have been impossible to gain entry into medical school.”
What was it like studying medicine?
“I went to Norwich Medical School. It was intellectually vigorous but thoroughly enjoyable. It surpassed my expectations.”
How did your interest in GP develop?
“From the time I was in medical school I wanted to be a GP. A GP is the first port of call and often the last port of call for a patient. They are the medical advocate for their patients from the cradle to the coffin. The demand for formulating a specific management plan that encompasses a patient’s physical, mental, social and spiritual needs in ten minutes albeit without prior knowledge of the reason for the consultation is intellectually stimulating and thus appealing.”
I am enthused by all the specialities in medicine. Being a GP involves keeping up to date in all areas: we use a great breadth of skills to meet the needs of a patient, who can present to their GP with any condition.”
– Dr Yasar Khan
And your interest in medical education?
“I wanted to be involved in medical education to play a part in developing, educating and influencing the future generations of medical doctors. It is a rewarding to work with their unbounded enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity and open mindedness.
I work as an Assistant Director in the General Practice Education Group (GPEG), Primary Care Unit at the University of Cambridge and I also teach early career GPs in the Luton GP Training scheme. I used to be a Training Programme Director for the Luton GP Training scheme and I am an examiner for the GP School entrance exam. Also, I work as Clinical Educator at the University of Bedfordshire involved in the learning of allied health professionals.”
Special interests in medicine?
“My special interest within medical education involves the use of Virtual Reality Technology in General Practice education.”
Can you describe a day in your life at PCU?
Cambridge students on placement in a GP surgery. Credit: Nick Saffell
Dr Khan’s days at PCU are varied: he explained that a recent day included:
– Meeting with colleagues on formulating the medical student clinical exams
– Analysing the content of the medical student teaching
– Planning an outreach event with colleagues to inform teenagers of the nature of a career in medicine
– Visiting a GP surgery interested in teaching medical students to explain the medical curriculum and determining whether the students can be placed at that surgery.
Return tickets will be available on the door at our Cambridge Science Festival event: ‘Do YOU want to be a doctor?’. Sunday 25th March at 11.15 – 12 noon on Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
For young people who want to try out their diagnostic skills. With Dr Alex Davidson, Dr Kinnary Martin and Dr Ruwani Siriwardena and ‘patients’ in our on-stage GP ‘Surgery.’ Free stethoscopes for most promising future GPs. See more

Immigrant workers at famed NYC bakery ‘Tom Cat’ protest at Trump Tower
NEW YORK — Workers at a famed New York bakery who face a deadline to produce immigration papers are instead defying the government in public — at President Donald Trump's Manhattan home.
The 31 employees of the Tom Cat Bakery will be fired and could be deported if they cannot prove by April 21 that they're working in the country legally.
They're rallying Saturday afternoon in front of Trump Tower.
The Department of Homeland Security set the deadline for the workers to show their employment documents.
Many have worked on the gourmet bakery's production line for much of its 30-year existence.
Tom Cat covers a whole city block in Queens, churning out artisanal bread 24 hours a day and delivering it around in the New York City area.

PRD Research Releases Australian Economic and Property Report 2019
Property Market sees ‘Light At The End Of The Tunnel!’
Now in its twelfth year, the PRDnationwide Australian Economic and Property Report provides key insights into several economic indicators, monetary and fiscal policy, key events; and how they have impacted the property market.
Although the economy is in a relatively good state, the property market in Australia has been extremely volatile in major markets in the past 12 months. This report signals a significant change in the property market generally and particularly within the housing affordability/first home buyer landscape.
Titled ‘Light At The End Of The Tunnel’, this report highlights the encouraging environment in which we are in for the second half of 2019.
Tony Brasier, PRDnationwide Chairman and Managing Director, commented that “PRDnationwide remains committed to providing key resources to the real estate sector, including property investors, real estate agents and informing the wider real estate industry. The latest release of the Australian Economic And Property Report 2019, continues this decade long commitment”.
“It is possible that despite all the uncertainties experienced in the past 12 months, that a quiet confidence is returning as we see light at the end of the tunnel on the back of changes in banking, economic, infrastructure, and social policies”, commented Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo, PRDnationwide National Research Manager.
Some of the key findings include:
Australian consumer sentiment hit 100.7 index points in June 2019, which just tipped it into positive territory. A boost in consumer confidence means an increase in consumer spending across all industries, including property. Australian business confidence underwent a radical surge in May 2019 post the Federal Election. It was quite the turnaround, as business confidence has been in steady decline since December 2017, with the lowest reading of -1.0 in March 2019.
Residential construction across Australia amounted to $16.3 billion in the March quarter of 2019, which represents a decline of -13.5% in the past six months, bringing the amount of quarterly residential construction closer to the 10-year average of $13.5 billion. A moderate slowdown in residential construction in the past six months will allow for current and scheduled property development to be absorbed by the market. This will create a more balanced level of supply and demand of property stock in the market.
Owner-occupiers committed to $254.6 billion worth of loans in the 12 months to April 2019, whereas investors committed to $101.7 billion. The balance between owner-occupier and investment finance has stood comfortably around the 65%/35% split in the past eight to ten years. In the 12 months to April 2019, the proportion of owner-occupier finance was, on average, 71.5%. Owner-occupier spending continues to dominate housing finance commitments, outweighing investors. This is encouraging for first home buyers looking to apply for a loan.
A “quadrella” of positive policy news: no changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, a double interest rate cut, APRA’s lending standards being reviewed and investment lending standards loosened, and the proposed first home buyers’ loan deposit scheme; have all translated into a strong consumer sentiment bounce-back. There is light at the end of the tunnel of uncertainty which will pave the way for a strong recovery of the Australian property market in the second half of 2019.

Julia DePinto Perez: How Green Technology will Transform Schools and Financial Management
With more policymakers showing concern for the growing effects of climate change, institutions ought to be ready to adapt to changes. One of the institutions that are going to be significantly affected is schools. Julia DePinto Perez has been a financial administrator for 20 years. She believes academic leaders need to pay attention to these trends that are likely to take place in these institutions.
Policy makers looking into how green technology will impact schools have shown that indoor air quality affects the health and learning ability of students. The EPA says that the school environment should foster focus, attendance, and performance. The environmental organization also states that unhealthy school environments lead to “expensive, time consuming clean up and remediation services”.
According to Julia DePinto Perez, focus on the school environment will mean schools have to adopt better financial management policies. This will probably be dictated by the scope of the expected changes. New regulations may require schools to not only ensure that classrooms have fresh clean air, but also have natural sunlight, be energy efficient, and use sustainable materials.
Early Innovators
There are already schools that are taking the initiative to adopt sustainable technology. Even though these changes incur expenditures, Ms. DePinto Perez says there are also financial benefits to be gained. One school taking advantage of green technology is Lake Mills Elementary in Wisconsin.
The school was one of the first in the United States to adopt green technology solutions for heating and cooling. The school has registered improvements in class performance and health, especially respiratory diseases. In terms of expenditure, the school now saves $85,000 a year in energy costs.
School Buses and Credits
Another area to watch out for according to Julia DePinto Perez is the change in school buses and credits gained from making these changes. School buses have also raised concerns on the level of air quality that students are exposed to when commuting to and from school.
Purchasing new vehicles may prove to be a significant burden for many institutions. One way that schools can adopt is to make adjustments to their vehicles and equipment. This includes changing to greener fuels.
Even before any regulations for the adoption of new technology are put in place, there are already credits that institutions can earn for their efforts. Green solutions such as using alternative fuels for school buses, low heat emitting materials, rooms lit by natural daylight, are some ways schools can earn credits. Approaching these solutions with sound financial management principles should yield good results.

Multihued carrots: bright performers at retail
10-Minute Merchandiser
Tom Burfield
IRI FreshLook data from the week ending July 10 show that dollar sales for rainbow carrots grew 87% year-to-date in the U.S., on track to see triple-digit growth in sales by the end of the year.
Bakersfield, Calif.-based Wm. Bolthouse Farms Inc. is enjoying 100% growth year-over-year on rainbow carrots as 63% of consumers look for ways to incorporate colorful produce into their diets, according to a recent survey conducted by Princeton, N.J.-based ORC International, says Diego Norris, vice president of marketing for farms, innovation and business at Bolthouse Farms.
“Rainbow baby carrots and other value-added products are the newest options on the market, and so far they’re capturing attention from chefs and consumers alike as they combine the convenience of a ready-to-eat product with beautiful, colorful presentation,” says Valorie Sherman, communications and engagement manager for Bakersfield-based Grimmway Farms.
Colored carrots are a top-selling item at Babé Farms Inc., Santa Maria, Calif., with steady year-round sales, says Matt Hiltner, social media/marketing assistant.
“We offer six varieties of carrots available in both baby and large size,” he says.
Varieties include yellow, pink, purple, white and round (Thumbelina) carrots.
Grimmway Farms markets a mixture of colored carrots as a “rainbow” variety, typically containing purple, red, orange, white and yellow carrots, Sherman says. “We offer rainbow carrots in a variety of cuts and pack sizes,” she adds.
The company also markets several options under the Cal-Organic Farms label.
Bolthouse Farms began distributing rainbow carrots in February, Norris says.
The company offers full-size organic rainbow cello carrots, organic rainbow baby carrots and organic rainbow matchstick carrots to fit a variety of use occasions.
“They help enhance the most common of dishes with color, variety and sophistication and add a global touch to culinary creations,” he says.
Los Angeles-based World Variety Produce Inc. is beginning to see an upswing in retail colored carrot business with a 12% increase over year-ago numbers, says Robert Schueller, director of public relations.
The company, which markets Melissa’s brand products, features rainbow, baby rainbow, baby red, baby yellow and baby maroon colored carrots, he says.
Los Alamitos, Calif.-based Frieda’s Inc. offers multi-colored bunches of “true baby carrots” with tops in white, yellow and purple combinations, says Oakley Boren, trade show and communications manager.
“They are small, slender and tender with delicate, sweet carrot flavor,” she says.

Dorian's impact for area stays at daytime rain Thursday
Bill Atkinson Progress-Index Staff @BAtkinsonpi
Sep 3, 2019 at 1:09 PM Sep 3, 2019 at 4:01 PM
Storm expected to pass by Virginia Thursday, but Tri-Cities are far enough inland to avoid catastrophic issues
Hurricane Dorian's extended stay over the Bahamas seemed to have eased the storm's intensity somewhat, but for central Virginia, the forecast of heavy rain and windy conditions Thursday has not changed.
According to the National Weather Service office in Wakefield, Tri-City area skies will start to cloud up Wednesday in advance of the rain. As Thursday wears on, the chance of precipitation increases from 40% to 70%, but by the weekend, the prognosis is clear skies and warm temperatures.
Dorian finally moved away from the Bahamas Tuesday morning at a pace that should draw it closer to the East Coast by later in the day. The National Hurricane Center in Miami is predicting that Dorian will take a north-northwest turn and move parallel to the mainland throughout the week. The coastal Carolinas are bracing for a major effect from the storm, with hurricane watches and warnings extending from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the Santee River area of South Carolina.
While over the Bahamas, Dorian intensified to a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph. NWS said it has since dropped down to a Category 2 storm with max-speed winds of 110 mph.
NWS maps expect the Tri-City area to see wind speeds of 10-20 mph from overnight Wednesday into most of Thursday. However, the weather service always cautions to be on the lookout for tropical storm-winds — one minute or greater of speeds exceeding 39 mph — with any passing hurricane.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the forecast maps from NWS predict an inch or less of rain for the Tri-City area Thursday. By nightfall Thursday, most of the rain should start to move away, with only a 30% chance of showers expected Friday. By Saturday, NWS predicts sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s.
The Virginia chapters of the American Red Cross have sent 28 volunteers to Florida and other regions expected to be roughed up by Dorian. Of that 28, nine are from the Red Cross' Capital Area chapters that include Petersburg and Fort Lee, Red Cross spokesman Jonathan McNamara said Tuesday.
"That could grow in the days to come," McNamara said.

RAGE 2?
Topic: RAGE 2?
Are we about to see a sequel to an innovative yet floored id game of yesteryear?
RAGE was released in 2011, so 7 years would be enough time to fix all of the issues with it and turn it into a grand old game, right? Apparently there is something brewing, and we might find out on May 14th what that is...
I did enjoy Rage and I think it was judged unfairly back in the day. A sequel would be welcome.

I'd play some more Rage.

Well, there it is
https://www.xboxachievements.com/news/n ... Today.html
https://kotaku.com/bethesda-announces-rage-2-1826006193
So I guess id have nothing to do with the development? Guess it might be an id engine.
Actually, watching the trailer again...I bet it's another Battle Royale.
Captain Mazda
Finno-Persian Legend
This one will be developed by Avalanche Studios, the studio responsible for the 2015 open-world Mad Max game.
Mad Max was excellent, there's hope for this.

I bet my left nut on id Software being preoccupied with the development of Doom 2
Gameplay trailer is out.
I dunno, it doesn't appeal to me much
Looks like more of the same I guess
Looks OK
Nothing great, but worth a go.
DOOM didn't look like it could live up to how it looked in the demo but it did
We can only hope...
Still linear? Meh...
It says wide open world, but didn’t we get the same half-truth with the first one?
That might be a good thing, actually.
Open world is such an over used hype term that it pretty much only triggers negative thoughts with me. For most games "open world" means endless stretches of nothing anyway.
Really? I’m not sure what open world games you’re playing, but the ones I’ve played have action around every corner. Skyrim, Fallout, and Witcher 3 come to mind. Never a dull moment.
I just remember being really pumped for Rage and when it came out I was crushed. I wanted to explore the wasteland. Instead, I was strictly guided on a mediocre adventure...
Depends who's crafting the world I think. Rockstar games have incredible open world games for example. Ubisoft, not so much. Bethesday has some decent ones like Skyrim... I really want to play skyrim now... great.
uhh...AC:Origins, Wildlands and Farcry 5 all had excellent open worlds.
Yeah I can’t think of any open world games developed in the last 5-7 years that have endless stretches of nothing...
Damn it Jerry
Oh fuck you guyze
Ok I'll not be like Gramps and admit defeat here. I haven't played a lot of the (newer) video games here so my opinion on this is largely based on what I played like 5 years ago. But let me say this:
I found that the appeal of the worlds built for games like Assassin's Creed (2/Brotherhood/Revelations), Far Cry 2 and 3 and Red Dead Redemption quickly waned because it pretty soon became a matter of just covering distance without it adding much to the game. Running into side-quests quickly starts feeling like chores. Especially AC was victim of this.
Having said that, I've always been more attracted to games with great storytelling and atmosphere (linear as they may be) than those with wide open worlds (where in most of the cases you end up running from A to B to C anyway because that's where the game wants you to go).
So in that sense, I liked how Rage felt like a pretty big world despite traversing it mostly linearly.
vesp
Yeah I can agree with that.. "Open World" to me mainly means no (obvious) loading screens between areas, Side quests peppered here and there and unscripted goal completion.
You're still following "the story" if you go along with the main quest(s) which essentially keeps you along a single path anyway, you just might have a bit more freedom with how you complete your goals. I feel it's a bit weird to see it as a big part of the marketing these days - the term "open world" doesn't have the same mystique it did back in early 2000s (woah, I can jump over these fences/rocks if I want to!)
Both timesI've played Skyrim, my interest in the game waned FAST when I realised I was just completing side quests for the sake of completing them - fast travelling from one area to another with no more story to drive you along gets boring
so was Rage 1 actually any good? I never picked it up after all the hype blew up, is it still worth a try today before 2 comes out?
shaft wrote:
Yeah, I can vouch for Wildlands having a pretty damn awesome open world, as does The Division. Ubi have really impressed me recently.

Most games don’t blatantly advertise it the way the Rage 2 trailer did. It must have been one of the more frequent complaints from the first game, so they’re trying to make sure it’s obvious...
Hooray for ragdoll physics!
Colleague who saw the E3 the for the first time yesterday said it looks like a mashup between Doom and Mad Max. Sounds pretty accurate to me, and not a bad combination actually.
Interesting; I said it looked like a cross between DOOM and Borderlands
Weird, almost like it was made collaboratively by the studios behind Doom and Mad Max...
Yeah...I will be giving this one a go
Wow, they even made a joke about the lack of an ending for Rage.
I'll be picking this up yeah. I thought Rage was, despite it's shortcomings, pretty spectacular.
thats a pretty original trailer.
was expecting some original doom footage at the end tbh
getting a big Bulletstorm vibe here. not a bad thing at all. might get this, will probably hit GamePass at some point anyway.

It wasn't quite the loss they needed to have, but South Sydney hooker Damien Cook says their golden point defeat to Manly may be a blessing in disguise. After a stellar opening three weeks to Wayne Bennett's reign at Redfern which saw them being discussed as premiership heavyweights, the Rabbitohs were brought back to the pack after being sunk by a Daly Cherry-Evans field goal on Saturday. Cook said he had felt the defeat coming for several weeks and had they scraped home against the Sea Eagles, it would have papered over the cracks and their problems would have continued to mount. Instead, he says the squad has been forced to stare down and confront inadequacies which have emerged in their game over the last few weeks. "No one wants to lose, you wish you could win every game," Cook told AAP. "But it's probably highlighted a few areas we need to fix. "And if we won, who knows if we would have picked up on them. "The positive we need to take out of the loss is we can find out what we need to work on and knock it on the head early." Cook echoed the sentiments of Bennett, who said they had been building towards their first loss of the season. He pointed to the way they had let the Gold Coast back into the match the previous week. On Saturday at Lottoland, both of the Sea Eagles' tries coincided with Souths turning over cheap possession and long periods of failing to complete a set. The NSW and Australian No.9 said their woes were simple to turn around and they were something they would address heading into Saturday's clash with the Warriors. "It is an easy fix because it's an individual thing," Cook said. "A lot of them were knock-ons in the play-the-ball or a bad pass. Wayne just spoke about (how) everyone has to worry about their jobs. "We didn't play our best footy but we got to golden point and we gave ourselves a chance. We weren't happy with that, putting (Adam Reynolds) under pressure (to get a field goal). We know we've got more points in us." Australian Associated Press

People Over Profits
In English ▼
Weed Is Legal : But We Ain't Done Yet
The legalization of cannabis is a victory, but it is not enough. The battle is not over until every person who has been punished for cannabis-related crimes, which are now legal, are freed and exonerated. The battle is not over until every person, family, and community is paid reparations for the destruction they have been subjected to by the Injustice System. Yes, let us celebrate this victory, but we do not stop now and we will not stop until justice is in the hands of the People.
On January 1st, 2018, the recreational sale, use, and possession of cannabis became legal in the state of California. This victory is another step forward in a long journey to overturning the "War on Drugs," a campaign which put a disproportionate number of our black and brown brothers, sisters, and kin behind bars and continues to oppress our communities.
Yes, this legislation is a victory, a victory that should be celebrated, but this is just a step in our mission to return justice and power back to the People. A bill that lets us purchase cannabis but doesn't exonerate every single person who did so before is NOT ENOUGH. A bill that lets us grow our own cannabis but does not pay reparations to the communities who were ripped apart by the "drug war" is NOT ENOUGH.
Mad credit to Twitter user @dreamaskew for saying what must be said!!!
The "drug war" used "law & order" as a dog whistle to put our black and brown folx behind bars. The "drug war" tore apart already vulnerable communities to fill the pockets of the prison industrial complex. The 13th Amendment didn't make slavery illegal -- it codified it into law, making it legal to enslave those who have been incarcerated. And it has never been about political parties: Reagan, HW, Clinton, W, Obama, and now Trump. Each administration has fueled or remained complicit in the perpetuation of a system which profits off the back of our incarcerated kin. It has never been about politics, or public safety, or health. The "drug war" was and remains about PROFITS.
And now as states, one-by-one, legalize the use of cannabis we have to remember our mission. We aren't JUST fighting for the legalization of cannabis. We are fighting for and we are demanding a social order which puts the PEOPLE over PROFITS!
That cannot and will not happen until every person punished by laws which are now void are exonerated and until every person and community affected by these policies is paid the reparations that will never be enough to make up for the damage this false "drug war" has done.
It does not matter if our politicians sound "woke" about all this (let's be real, most don't). We know that the only reason to keep innocent people in jail is the same reason the Confederacy rose up....because the system values the profits earned on the backs of slaves more than it values the hearts and souls and humanity of our kin. And, now they have given us a bribe. The legalization of cannabis is a sweet, sweet deal.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH!
The legalization of cannabis is an accomplishment worth celebrating! But it is one step and one step only on the greater journey in returning justice and power to the people. Cannabis promises to raise billions of dollars in taxes for state governments. Where is that money going? Is it going to end up in fat pockets or is it going to be used to rebuild the communities the "drug war" attacked? That is our next step. A cannabis policy that puts the people over the profits is a policy that puts money back into the communities that the old cannabis laws worked to destroy. We do not stop until then and we will not stop after!
Let us fight for the freedom of our kin locked behind bars, locked out of employment by checkboxes, locked out of housing, locked away from their families for offenses that are now legal. Let us fight to ensure a cannabis policy that puts the PEOPLE over the PROFITS, that exonerates those wrongly punished and rebuilds communities in need.
Much love to all of you,
Charles Marks

Wilke defends sectional diving title
Appleton North/East’s Wilke wins second straight sectional diving title
Wilke defends sectional diving title Appleton North/East’s Wilke wins second straight sectional diving title Check out this story on postcrescent.com: http://post.cr/2kvyhGu
Tim Froberg, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 10:19 p.m. CT Feb. 10, 2017 | Updated 5:44 p.m. CT Feb. 11, 2017
Aiden Clark of Neenah swims the second leg of the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay during the 2017 WIAA Sectional Swimming Championship Saturday, February 11, 2017, at Neenah High School in Neenah, Wisconsin. Ron Page/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin(Photo: USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin)Buy Photo
NEENAH - He keeps putting up dazzling numbers on the diving board, but Matt Wilke isn’t all that impressed with his accomplishments.
He sees ordinary in the extraordinary 500-plus scores he consistently delivers.
What would give the Appleton North/East standout a “wow” moment would be winning a WIAA state diving championship, and Wilke will go after it next Saturday following another stellar performance at Friday’s Division 1 sectional at Neenah High School.
Wilke compiled a 516.25 score to easily win the 10-diver competition. Neenah’s Evan Bredesen was a distant second at 388.90, while Appleton North/East’s Jackson Tutt was third at 373.30.
Wilke automatically qualified for the state diving championships at the University of Wisconsin-Natatorium. Bredesen and Tutt both stand a decent chance of making the state event as extra qualifiers, which will be added by the WIAA based on the top non-winning scores.
It was the second-straight sectional title for Wilke, who surpassed his 2016 winning sectional score of 512.75. His personal best this season is a 539.80, which has been exceeded only by Monona Grove’s Henry Carman (561.35) — one of only two divers to best Wilke in competition this year.
“Overall, I feel pretty good about my score,” said Wilke an Appleton East senior. “I thought I had a pretty average meet, but you don’t want to peak before you get to state. The big thing in diving is aiming for consistent dives and I felt I was pretty consistent today.”
Wilke placed fourth at last year’s state meet with a 466.40 score and was eighth as a sophomore. This year he is one of the top contenders to claim the gold medal.
“I definitely want to get first this year. I’m really hoping,” Wilke said. “Scoring at state is definitely harder. I figure if I can get in the 500s, maybe around 515, I can pull it off.
“I’m going to have to be on top of my game and mentally ready.”
Bredesen said that one of Wilke’s strengths is his ability to adjust on the dive.
“He can spin really fast and can make a lot of good coming out of a bad start,” Bredesen said. “He’s able to correct things and really react to what’s happening on the dive. If it doesn’t start the way he planned it, he can fix it.”
Bredesen was pleased with his second-place finish.
“Jackson Tutt and I have been really close in our scores this season, and my goal for this meet was to beat him out for second,” Bredesen said. “I think I have a pretty good chance of getting to state.”
Wilke, Bredesen and Tutt are club teammates in the non-high school season for the Fox Valley dive team.
“We’re all friends and diving is kind of a social sport,” Bredesen said. “You want to win, but everyone is super friendly. You want to do well, but you want the other guys to do well, too.”

Nashville SC to host Atlanta United in inaugural MLS game
A new Southern rivalry to open the 2020 season.

Nashville SC will begin life in Major League Soccer against a Southern rival. The expansion franchise will host Atlanta United in its inaugural MLS game Feb. 29, 2020. Kickoff from Nissan Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. local.
Broadcast information for the game has not been announced.
The teams previously met in a 2018 preseason friendly, ahead of Nashville’s first USL season and Atlanta’s second campaign in MLS. Atlanta prevailed 3-1 on a rainy February day. The 2020 MLS season opener will be their first competitive matchup.
“We are thrilled to announce that Nashville SC’s inaugural match will be played right here in Nashville in front of our hometown fans,” chief executive officer Ian Ayre said in a prepared statement. “February 29 will be a historic date for our club and we look forward to showcasing the city and our supporters to the entire league during the opening weekend of Major League Soccer’s 25th season.”
Nashville is coming off a second-place finish in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference. The team advanced to the conference semifinals before falling to Indy Eleven. Nashville exited the U.S. Open Cup with a third-round loss to the Charleston Battery, another USL Championship side.
After winning MLS Cup in 2018, Atlanta finished second in MLS’ Eastern Conference before falling 2-1 to Toronto FC in the conference final. Though they failed to defend their league title, the Five Stripes did win two trophies in 2019, prevailing over Mexican giant Club América in the Campeones Cup and 2017 expansion sibling Minnesota United in the U.S. Open Cup final.
Atlanta will open its 2020 season in Concacaf Champions League play Feb. 18 to Feb. 20. Its round-of-16 opponent will be determined via draw Dec. 9.
The trip to Nashville is Atlanta’s second confirmed 2020 MLS game. The Five Stripes will travel to Chicago for the Fire’s first game at Soldier Field March 21.
David Beckham’s Inter Miami will join Nashville as a 2020 debutant. Miami’s inaugural MLS game has not been announced.

Vancouver Whitecaps add exciting midfield talent Hwang In-Beom

VANCOUVER — South Korean midfielder Hwang In-Beom is going to join the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The 22-year-old, 5-foot-10 midfielder from the South Korean K-League 2 club Daejeon Citizens is one of the most sought after and exciting prospects in Asia at the moment. He is dubbed the Korean Iniesta.
Hwang has agreed to a two-year contract through 2020, with club options for 2021 and 2022, as a Young Designated Player. He will occupy an international roster spot and officially join the club’s roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and work permit.
Before the official announcement Wednesday, the Caps started to build anticipation that the deal could be imminent by posting a series of tweets on the club’s official Twitter account.
The first tweet showed a quote by Marc Dos Santos that read: “I think it’s a player with an incredible gift…”
T-minus 2 hours.#VWFC pic.twitter.com/BoAr7ufoIW
— Vancouver Whitecaps (@WhitecapsFC) January 30, 2019
On Monday, Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi told Vancouver-based television station CTV that a deal to sign Hwang was almost done. Hence, the second tweet published by the organization almost killed all anticipation.
The tweet showed a quote by former Whitecaps player Young-Pyo Lee that read: “I think he is among the top three most talented midfielders in Asia right now.” It then switched over to showing a South Korean flag pretty much giving away that the impending announcement would be for Hwang In-Beom.
T-minus 1 hour. #VWFC pic.twitter.com/CwY6vhejUh
One hour later, the Whitecaps revealed Hwang was indeed the latest signing to join the Vancouver Whitecaps.
환영합니다, Hwang In-beom 🇰🇷
→ https://t.co/cKzgp2v1qk#VWFC pic.twitter.com/GiJcUYcljU
“Hwang is an exciting young talent who we identified early as one of our primary targets,” Dos Santos said. “He’s a creative midfielder who is incredibly gifted technically and was coveted by a number of clubs around the world. He fits into the style we want to play very well. We’re excited to work with Hwang and help him reach his full potential.”
The midfielder has scored seven goals and five assists in 33 K-League 2 games this season. Hwang, among others, caught the interest of Bundesliga 2 side VfL Bochum, but the German club ultimately did not bid for the player.
Playing for a second-division side in South Korea makes Hwang In-Beom a bit of an outlier. But the example of Shinji Kagawa, who excelled with Cerezo Osaka in the J-League 2 in 2009 before becoming a star in Germany with Dortmund, highlights that there is plenty of depth in the lower divisions in countries like South Korea and Japan.

This is underlined by the fact that the 22-year-old represents his country despite not playing in Korea’s first division. The midfielder was called up to represent South Korea at the 2019 Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
At the tournament, Hwang had a standout performance. Playing in all five of his country’s games at the tournament, Hwang In-Beom averaged 98.81 actions per 90 minutes, of which he completed 76.8 percent successfully.
His Asia Cup performance highlights why he has been compared with former Barcelona great Andres Iniesta. Hwang managed to complete 87.3 percent of his on average 76.55 passes per 90 minutes.
At the time of South Korea’s elimination — defeated 1-0 by finalists Qatar — Hwang was among the tournament’s top-10 leaders in both chances created (9) and total passes (322). He ranked second with nine goal-scoring opportunities created, behind Tottenham Hotspur superstar Son Heung-min’s 10.

With Building Regulations, Health & Safety Laws, DDA Regulations and Anti Terror recommendations continually changing it is important we keep everything up to date and in-line with current regulations.
Protective Film Solutions work closely with GGF (Glass & Glazing Federation) to ensure we are in-line with all proposed and future regulations being put in place by local and European Government.
Workplace Glazing
SafeContractor Accreditation
Although this is quite an old Regulation, the Workplace Health Safety & Welfare Regulations 1992 is still current and requires all workplace glazing in specific areas to be of a safe nature and marked accordingly.
Regulation 14 specified by the HSE states that:
Windows and transparent or translucent forrs, gates and walls:
(1) Every window or other transparent or translucent surface in a door or gate shall, where necessary for reasons of health or safety:- ( a ) be of a safety material or be protected against breakage of the transparent or translucent material; and ( b ) be appropriately marked or incorporate features so as, in either case, to make it apparent.
A transparent or translucent surface should be marked where necessary to make it apparent. The risk of collision is greatest in large uninterrupted surfaces where the floor is at a similar level on each side, so the people might reasonably think they can walk straight through.
If features such as mullions, transoms, rails, door frames, large pull or push handles, or heavy tinting make the surface apparent, marking is not essential.
Where it is needed, marking may take any form (for example coloured lines or patterns), provided it is conspicuous and at a conspicuous height. Between the finished floor level and 1500mm above that level in doors and in side panels which are within 300mm of either edge of the door. Between the finished floor level and 800mm above that level in case of walls, partitions and windows. It is important to note that any part of a glass area affected must meet the requirements in its entirety and not just in the relevant section.
The application of PFS Safety Film will upgrade your existing workplace glazing into a safety glass than can be classified by EN12600. In addition to this our Manifestation Films can be applied on top of our Safety Films to ensure the glass, transparent or translucent areas are apparent and in compliance with regulations.
The Disability Discrimination Act is a piece of legislation that promotes civil rights for disabled people and protects disabled people from discrimination, there is an area within this that protects individuals from the Dangers of Glass and Glazing. These are for glass entrance doors and glazed screens, the location of glass entrance doors should be easily distinguished, especially when the door is both open and shut.
Manifestation should be clearly contrasting with the background in all weather / lighting conditions. Manifestation should be located between 850mm – 1000mm and 1400mm – 1600mm i.e. in 150mm high bands which could be a solid band, a decorative feature or split bands of 50mm each. High contrast strips at the top and on both sides of a glazed door in a glazed screen should be provided. If glass doors can remain in the open position, the leading edge should be clearly distinguished and protected by guarding (entrance doors only) to prevent it becoming a collision hazard.

On 3rd August 2017, PFS were delighted to find out they had become a CHAS registered contractor.
CHAS was formed in 1997 between a group of health and safety procurement professionals and the Association of London Government with two aims:
To improve health and safety standards across Great Britain
To reduce duplicated safety applications for both suppliers and buyers
CHAS now has more than 500 public and private sector buyer organisations, such as councils, housing associations, NHS trusts, including a growing number of large private companies who employ sub-contractors.
For more information visit www.chas.co.uk.
National Window Films has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.
The company’s application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to win new contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.
Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.”
“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that National Window Films has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeContractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.”

WWE Issues Statement On Passing Of George “The Animal” Steele
By William Baker on Feb 17, 2017 ---, Wrestling News, WWE
– As noted, pro wrestling legend George “The Animal” Steele passed away at age 79 this week.
WWE.com issued the following statement on his passing:
George “The Animal” Steele passes away
WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer William James Myers, known to fans as George “The Animal” Steele, has passed away at the age of 79.
Steele was one of the wildest and most unpredictable Superstars in sports-entertainment history. Yet, despite his green tongue, hairy torso and insatiable appetite for turnbuckle pads, “The Animal” was a very well-educated man. Prior to breaking into sports-entertainment, Steele received his Master’s Degree from Central Michigan University and became a high school teacher and wrestling coach in the Detroit area.
It was during his teaching stint that he began moonlighting in sports-entertainment, working in the Detroit-area promotions. Steele’s first WWE appearances took place in 1967, when he began a heated rivalry with WWE Champion Bruno Sammartino. For nearly 20 years, Steele was a reviled villain, managed by the likes of fellow WWE Hall of Famers The Grand Wizard, “Classy” Freddie Blassie, Capt. Lou Albano and Mr. Fuji. His classic main events against Sammartino, Pedro Morales and Bob Backlund saw him come close to winning the WWE Championship on many occasions.
WWE Reportedly Trying Out A New Tag Team At Weekend Live Events
In 1985, however, Steele was embraced by the WWE Universe and changed the course of his career. After The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff abandoned him during a match, Steele fell back under the tutelage of the then-beloved Albano. His transformation was remarkable, as one of the most hated men in the sport became one of its most loveable figures. Long after his in-ring retirement and WWE Hall of Fame induction, George “The Animal” Steele’s name still evoked terror for one generation of WWE fans and warm smiles for another.
WWE extends its condolences to Steele’s family, friends and fans.

U.S Demand for Independently Compounded Resins to Grow 2.9% Annually to 2013 Finds Report Buyer
PRZOOM - /newswire/ - London, United Kingdom, 2010/02/25 - ReportBuyer.com, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report.
Your Banner Ad Here instead - Showing along with ALL Articles covering Engineering/Artificial Intelligence Announcements
According to the report “Thermoplastic Compounding by Independents” US demand for independently compounded resins is forecast to grow 2.9 percent yearly to 7.6 billion pounds in 2013. Total value, including additives, fillers and other production costs, will reach $14.6 billion. Further thermoplastic inroads at the expense of metal, wood and glass will necessitate higher performance characteristics and a more competitive cost structure. Value gains will be stimulated by a shift in the product mix toward higher performance specifications, yet restrained by moderating resin prices.
Independently compounded polyvinyl chloride (PVC), engineering thermoplastics, polypropylene and polyethylene will together account for 78 percent of all independently compounded thermoplastics in 2013. Thermoplastic elastomers will exhibit the fastest gains, driven by the direct replacement of natural and synthetic rubber, plastics and metals in a variety of applications, as well as design trends featuring soft-touch surfaces. Slightly below average growth is expected for PVC in light of saturated applications, competition from other thermoplastics, and health and environmental concerns over PVC’s use and disposal.
The 252 report states that construction will remain the leading compounding market, followed by motor vehicles and consumer/institutional uses. Construction industry advances will be fostered by rebounding building construction activity and needs for higher performance materials. Consumer and institutional growth areas include medical products, sporting goods, and lawn and garden products. Slower growth is anticipated for wire and cable, and electrical and electronic markets.
Thermoplastic compounders that are separate from, and legally unaffiliated with, a resin producer will account for less than ten percent of total thermoplastic
demand in 2013. The independent thermoplastic compounding industry is fragmented due to low entry barriers, minimal patent or technical barriers, and the need for close customer liaison. Merger and acquisition activity will continue as a result of growing capital requirements, and needs to diversify product lines and broaden the customer base.

Cerebral Palsy is a birth complication resulting from oxygen deprivation during pregnancy, labor or delivery that affects movement control and muscle condition. Cerebral Palsy occurs in approximately two to four babies out of every 1,000 births in the United States. Oxygen deprivation is often a result of medical negligence.
There is not a pinpointed singular cause of Cerebral Palsy. However, common circumstances of medical negligence and Cerebral Palsy include insufficient monitoring of the fetus during pregnancy, inappropriate methods of delivery, intracranial bleeding or head trauma.
Types of Cerebral Palsy
There are three types of cerebral palsy. An infant may suffer from one or a combination of the three types:
Spastic Cerebral Palsy – difficult and stiff movement
Athetoid Cerebral Palsy – involuntary and uncontrolled movement
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy – disturned depth perception and sense of balance
Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy
24 to 48 hours after an infant is born, noticeable symptoms of Cerebral Palsy, including seizures, bluish skin, and floppiness may occur.
Cerebral Palsy can be diagnosed as early as three to four months after the infant is born. Visible symptoms can include:
Involuntary movement
Startles excessively
Unusual muscle tone
Delayed motor development
Slow to reach developmental milestones (rolling over, crawling, walking)
Difficulty sucking and feeding
Cerebral Palsy is not communicable or progressive. This means that it is not contagious between children, and an infant’s condition will not worsen into adulthood. Cerebral Palsy is also not curable, but measures can be taken to ameliorate conditions of life.
Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Medical malpractice claims may be available to victims of medical negligence. There are several potential malpractice situations that can lead to the development of Cerebral Palsy such as the failure to:
Properly realize and react to changes in the mother’s condition during pregnancy
Conduct certain tests during pregnancy, or misinterpretation of such tests
Properly realize and react to changing conditions of the fetus during labor
Perform a Caesarian section when needed
Deliver the infant when the membrane or water has been ruptured for too long

Pimentel open to run with Arroyo in 2019: 'People change'
'We should not close doors or burn bridges unless absolutely called for or warranted,' says Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III, when asked about the possibility of former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo joining the PDP-Laban slate in 2019
Camille Elemia
@CamilleElemia
2019 SLATE. Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III is open to sharing the same slate with former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2019.
MANILA, Philippines – He once accused her of electoral fraud, but today, Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III said he is open to the possibility of running with former president and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo under the PDP-Laban senatorial ticket in 2019.
Arroyo, a known ally of President Rodrigo Duterte, recently took her oath as member of the ruling party, headed by Pimentel.
Asked what he thought about Arroyo's move to PDP-Laban, given their history, and whether there was a chance that Arroyo would be part of the party's Senate slate in 2019, Pimentel said there were no “awkward” feelings.
“Hindi naman (Not really), because people change and circumstances change, especially in politics. We should not close doors or burn bridges unless absolutely called for or warranted,” Pimentel said in a text message on Friday, October 13.
Pimentel earlier bared his initial list of senatorial candidates for the administration slate, saying he will limit it to party members. At the time, Arroyo had not yet joined PDP-Laban.
Arroyo is on her third term as Pampanga 2nd District Representative, which ends in 2019, giving rise to speculation that she may run for the Senate again. She was a senator from 1992 to 1998.
“If someone wants to help the cause of federalism, then why not accept him her with open arms?” Pimentel said.
Arroyo supports the Duterte administration's bid for federalism.
“But she must be the one to change by embracing the PDP-Laban’s core principles of belief in God, human dignity, love of country, equal opportunities for all, consultative and participatory democracy, and federalism,” he said in a separate message.
Pimentel said there were no talks yet on Arroyo’s possible return to the Senate but he has, so far, not opposed to it.
“No idea yet. Saka na 'yan (Let's reserve it for a later time). Senate slate will be finalized maybe in February 2018 but target date is adjustable. Alam mo naman sa politics (You know in politics), things can change abruptly,” the senator said.
“Party slate will be done objectively. My feelings or opinion should not matter. We will have surveys and analyze data extensively. [It] also depends on their belief in federalism,” the party president said.
Pimentel earlier filed an electoral protest against Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri over allegations of election fraud in the 2007 polls. Zubiri, an ally of Arroyo, was declared the 12th winning senator then. Pimentel replaced Zubiri in 2011 after winning the case.
Pimentel also filed an electoral sabotage case against the former president and her husband, Jose Miguel Arroyo, in 2011, in connection with the 2007 elections.
In 2013, Pimentel left the United Nationalist Alliance slate after Zubiri was also included in the lineup. It sparked the rift between the Pimentels and Vice President Jejomar Binay, who are friends.
Aside from him, Pimentel’s initial picks for the PDP-Laban slate include Majority Leader Rodolfo Fariñas, Negros Occidental Representative Alfredo Benitez, Bataan Representative Geraldine Roman, Davao City Representative Karlo Nograles, and former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman Francis Tolentino. – Rappler.com

Civic Engagement 2019 Microgrant Initiative
Research!America has requested proposals from student and postdoc-led science policy groups to participate in the second year of our civic engagement initiative begun in 2018. Research!America provides funding to student groups in activities of their design that focus on civic engagement and elevating the importance of scientific research, innovation and public health in the national conversation to increase awareness among public officials and local community leaders.
Civic engagement is a critical skill set for scientists for many reasons. For scientists at any career stage, it is an opportunity to take part in our democracy while contributing a scientific perspective on important issues facing our communities and our nation. A total of 81% of Americans surveyed would like scientists to inform elected officials about their research and its impact on society, based on a 2019 poll commissioned by Research!America. In addition, early-career scientists’ perspectives and creativity are uniquely valuable to the “public square’’ while civic engagement is an increasingly critical component to becoming the thought leaders of tomorrow.
Another reason why civic engagement skills are important to scientists as compared to other fields: scientific research is heavily dependent on public funding with almost 50% of basic research support coming from the federal government. Knowing how to educate the public and policymakers about this critical resource is vital to strengthening research as a national priority.
Click here to learn more about student advocacy.
Science policy groups across the country managed by graduate students and postdocs are eligible to apply. Grants are made only to support activities of student groups and not are not payable to individuals. Eligible students groups must have a fiscal sponsor. If you have questions about locating a fiscal sponsor, please contact Caitlin Grzeskowiak (cgrzeskowiak@researchamerica.org) for assistance. Grants are payable to the fiscal sponsor for the benefit of named student policy group. The microgrants do not provide indirect costs for sponsoring institutions.
Criteria for Evaluation
We are interested in supporting projects to enable early-career scientists to increase their level of engagement with elected officials, non-elected government officials and community leaders. The project can encompass a single large event or a number of events and activities. Some examples include roundtable discussions, public forums and social media engagement. Innovative ideas are welcomed. Grant awards will be considered from project budgets up to $3,000.
Highly competitive proposals will be distinguished by the following:
Sustainability: how will the project or similar activities continue once the grant is completed?
Collaboration: network and initiate projects with other science policy groups?
Diversity: does the proposal engage with ethnically and socio-economically diverse communities?
Accessibility: include materials (i.e. sample messages) that will be available as community resources.
Innovation: explores a new idea or new twist on a program model.
All proposals should include examples of activities the group plans to do to engage public officials. We welcome original ideas. The following are thought-starters:
• Briefing/panel discussion with scientists and city council members about a local issue
• Campus-wide or community science fair with local or state officials and members of the public
• Lab tour with public officials (with photos and/or video)
• Op-eds and letters-to-the-editor about federally-funded research in local publications as a way to engage for conversations with policymakers.
• Roundtable discussion with public officials and young scientists
• Science Pub Night event featuring young researcher and local government leader to discuss an area of research important to the community
• Social media strategies to raise awareness of federally-funded research with public officials and community leaders
• Twitter chat and/or Reddit AMA on a health or research issue (encourage public officials to participate)
• Webinars (with guest speakers) highlighting the health and economic benefits of research (invite public officials to participate and make archived recordings available)
Want to find out more information on who your elected officials are and what roles they play in science policy? Check out https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials for state and local level information. Don’t forget, you can also invite non-elected officials (staff and regulators) too!
Grantees are encouraged to send event photographs, videos and other materials to Research!America; these might be posted on our website or social media platforms and/or shared with other grantees.
Research!America Science Meets Science Microgrant
This year, in addition to the microgrants described above, Research!America is introducing a new Science Meets Science initiative which aims to bridge social scientists (e.g.. anthropology, sociology, psychology) with STEM scientists (e.g.. life sciences, chemistry, mathematics).
Competitive proposals are those that undertake civic engagement activities based on combining expertise across scientific domains. The types of projects may be similar to the examples above or entirely novel and are encouraged to include engagement with public officials as a component. Teams that include students majoring in communications are also encouraged.
Applicants may request up to $3000 in support of a civic engagement effort led by both social and physical science teams. Additional funding may be available for highly competitive applications.
Applicants seeking funding under the Science Meets Science program should follow the application directions above and note this interest on their form as well as in their project description.
“As we think about creating a complex global problem-solving agenda…, It will engage all fields from physics to psychology, from economics to biology, from electrical engineering to sociology…Policymakers will be crucial to any and all solutions. Science and technology and public policy empower each other’s goals. In contemporary society, neither could be appropriately effective without being a partner-participant with the other.” Neal Lane, Scientific Advisor to President Bill Clinton.
Application Details and Review Process
Proposals were due by September 20, 2019. Proposals are reviewed by Research!America leadership and staff who score the proposals based on the rubric found here. Full text of the application can be found in this document. After initial scoring, the reviewers will convene to discuss all of the proposals and contact applicants if further details are required. Funding decisions will be announced on October 7, 2019. Funded projects are to be completed by March 31, 2020.
Please note that Research!America is a 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we are nonpartisan and do not participate in or support activities that favor specific political parties or candidates.
The grantee(s) shall not use any portion of the grant for any of the following purposes:
• To carry on propaganda or attempt to influence legislation.
• To directly or indirectly participate in, or intervene in, any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to any candidate running for public office.
For more information, please contact Caitlin Grzeskowiak, Science Outreach Coordinator cgrzeskowiak@researchamerica.org
For 30 years, Research!America has been committed to advocacy for science, discovery, and innovation to achieve better health for all. This work is also supported in part by a grant from the Rita Allen Foundation.

A Bachelor Watches The Bachelor: Nightmare on Fantasy Suite
The promos promised a "nightmare" in the fantasy suite...did the episode deliver?
By Patrick Varone
The smartest woman in America
Since two hours a week of The Bachelor isn't quite enough, ABC decided to kick me when I was down and air an additional two hours of fun and sun this week. On last night's episode, the three remaining girls—Moe, Larry, and Curly—were brought to St. Lucia for what I learned is called "The Overnights." In case you're new to this whole journey (like I was), this involved Juan Preggo asking the girls if they want to "stay the night" in a hotel room without cameras or producers telling them to relocate their groping to a more sun-drenched section of a beach for better lighting and more romantic ambiance.
What really convinced me to watch a third and fourth hour of the show this week were the promos. In the commercials, ABC said this episode would shock all of America with something that we've never seen before. I naturally guessed that something really "sexy" went on in the fantasy suite. James John Pablo repeatedly told us how there would be "no cameras" at all in any of the overnights. Calm down; we get it. It's almost like this was foreshadowing those leaked penis pics he sent to "somebody." This is also the episode where the girls are apparently contractually obligated to say "I love you" to JP because, well, time is running out.
I'm not going to go into detail about the individual dates because, let's face it, I'm going to need years of therapy to wash away all that I have seen and heard over the past six weeks. I'll just cut to the most important part of the entire episode. It is here where I'd like to go on the record to state the following: Andi is the smartest person in America. I mean it.
After her "overnight" in the "fantasy suite" with Juan Pablo (did they mention there were no cameras there? Because there weren't any cameras present.) things took a bit of a turn from what we all expected. During a confessional, JP talks about how much fun they had "talking and laughing and talking and laughing and talking and talking" all the live-long night. Andi, on the other hand, sang a very different tune. Evidently when THERE WERE NO CAMERAS (geesh), all Juan Pablo did was talk about himself and name-drop people he knew. I mean, who does he know, really, that we're supposed to be impressed by? Trista and Ryan? Yeah, I Googled them. Jealous?
Andi really is in this for reality-show love, and she was put off not only by JP talking about himself the whole night, but also him bringing up his "overnight" with Clare. I would have been happy if that also included the new love of my life, Laura (Clare's sister, who we met on last night's episode... as if you would forget), but sadly, Laura didn't materialize. To be honest, I was a little miffed at ABC for making it seem like Renee came back from the dead to hold the remaining cast members hostage or that something really terrible happened. They got me! But they got you too, so I don't feel as bad.
After a lot of soul searching, Andi has come to the conclusion that she is basically disgusted by Juan Pablo and would rather just go home to shoot guns and whatnot. All the girls record videos of themselves saying sweet things for JP to watch. I guess they didn't realize he was just in the next suite over, and they could tell him in person.
Anyway, Andi's video contained a message that she needed to see him in person before the rose ceremony. Here's when things got real. Andi confronted him about what a horror show he was in the fantasy suite and how he never asked anything about her—at all. You could see how uncomfortable he was getting since he's probably not used to any girl on this show calling him out. Andi did a great job. The only thing missing were a couple of z-snaps and a chronic case of side-eye. She did her best, though.
Juan's biggest mistake was how he just kept saying, "It's okay," because it really pushed her buttons. Andi likes a nice fight, and she wasn't really getting one from him, mainly because I honestly believe he had no clue what was going on. As she was calling him an "a**," he was using his thumb to smooth out her eyebrow.
To make things worse (and more uncomfortable to watch), they then argue for about 10 minutes over Andi's claim that JP told her last night that she was only there by "default." Juan claims he never uses that word because he doesn't really know what it means. Andi didn't believe him on that one even though if she closed her eyes and quieted herself, she could actually hear all of America shouting "He doesn't!" in unison.
Andi was also upset that Juan doesn't know what her religion is, how she wants to raise her kids, or what her political opinions are. Really though, where would those conversations really have gone? When JP tries to fight back and say, "Do you even know what my religion is?" Andi immediately responds with "Catholic," and he just nods and puts his head down. I legit laughed out loud, or LOL'd as "the kids" say.
Andi decides she's had enough and is leaving, so Juan awkwardly walks her to her van. Once inside, she sums up Juan Pablo's entire being in six simple words: "He just really doesn't get it." I shouted "Ding! Ding! Ding!" She really is wise beyond her years. JP tried to play it cool and explain to the camera that even if she wanted to stay, he would have asked her to leave. He said he doesn't like "arguments." Well, welcome to marriage, buddy!
In the end, Clare and Nikki remain. Both look like they want to vomit when they have to stand next to each other at the rose ceremony. They both seemed equally surprised when Andi never showed up, and JP explained she decided to leave because she didn't love him. I'm pretty sure I called it six weeks ago that these two would be in the final two spots. Do I win something for that? Either way, I'm going on record yet again that he'll pick Clare. My second guess/preference is, of course, that both girls decide to not marry him. Then Laura comes strolling out of the jungle, and they both walk towards the sunset together. The end.

The Enterprise Hornets won the Northern Section Division I championship with a 36-35 win over Paradise on Saturday.____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Redemption was sweet for Enterprise's Zack Trueblood and the rest of the Hornets, who edged Paradise 36-35 in the Northern Section Division I championship game on Saturday.
Trueblood came through in the clutch to toss a touchdown pass on forth and goal to Travis Hall with 25 seconds left and then hit sophomore fullback and junior varsity call-up Izzy Matthews in the right flat for the game-winning two-point conversion.
Trueblood fumbled the ball snap on the two-point conversion to lose to Paradise 42-41 in overtime on Oct. 5 but made up for it by winning the championship on Saturday.

Zorb Football Stag Do
There's a fantastic new craze that's been taking Europe by storm - and for good reason. It's a challenge, it's hilarious and anyone can play, and it's perfect for a group of lads on a stag do. It's called Bubble Football. You've probably heard of it, in which case you'll know that you've got to give it a go. But if it's new to you, then here's your chance to get up with the times and find out what all the fuss is about.
As soon as you arrive at the venue, you'll realise that this is football like you've never played it before. The first thing you'll notice is the kit - an other-worldly clear plastic inflatable bubble that covers everything but your legs, leaving you looking like a walking lollipop. But that bubble, also known as a Zorb, is what gives the game its name and what makes it so much fun, as you'll soon find out.
The laughs will start from the opening whistle. Running around in your Zorb is difficult enough but playing football in it is a whole different ball game, so to speak. Don't expect to be able to dribble and control the ball like you normally can because in your bubble with your arms constrained your balance will be affected, but it's when you get close to other players that things really get hilarious. When you come together you'll bounce off each other like pinballs and you'll fly through the air, ending up rolling around on the ground with legs flapping like an upside down tortoise. And just try getting up again as you split your sides with laughter.
Bubble football really is as crazy as everyone says it is, and it's perfect for a stag weekend. Include a session in your stag party itinerary and you and your mates will have a great time and be well primed for the stag night ahead!

The 2019 IMSA at Laguna Seca Live Blog
The last short-format race of the IMSA season is here. Will a recent balance-of-performanc break give the Cadillacs what they need to compete, or will Acura and Mazda be in a class of their own yet again?
By Fred Smith
Brian ClearyGetty Images
0:00 remaining: That's the end. A comfortable, to say the least, win for the #6 Acura of Team Penske and drivers Dane Cameron and Juan Pablo Monotoya, followed by the #7 Acura of the same team and the #31 Cadillac of Action Express Racing.
Joey Hand takes the #66 Ford GT to an easy win in GTLM, winning by 20 seonds over the #24 Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan BMW M8 GTE. The #3 Corvette comes in third, the #4 Corvette in fourth, and the #25 BMW rounds out the top five.
The #48 Paul Miller Racing Lamborghini Huracan. wins wire-to-wire in GTD, ahead of the #63 Scuderia Corse Ferrari 488 and #44 Magnus Racing Lamborghini Huracan. That win, too, was comfortable.
The race was run without a single safety car and with few on-track collisions.
Petit Le Mans, the young ten-hour-or-one-thousand-mile endurance classic, is next. That will mark the top level of IMSA racing's season finale, and decide all three major class championships.
0:01 remaining:White flag.
0:03 remaining: The battle for third overall is, by far, the most interesting thing on track. The #31 Cadillac has about two car-lengths on the #10, but the #10 has tried to take that position back a few times in the last two laps.
All of this comes about twenty minutes after what could only be described as an impressive off-track excursion for #31 Cadillac driver Pipo Derani, who made a mistake and went so far off track that he hit four stand-up promotional signs, but rejoined the circuit with no damage and almost no time lost. An impressive drive for Derani.
0:10 remaining: De Philippi loses third after a four lap battle, and then almost immediately afterward falls to fifth at the hands of the #4 Corvette. Those cars now have ten minutes to make up three seconds and catch the #24 BMW running second in class.
Third also changes hands in DPi, where the #31 Action Express Cadillac gets past a fading #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac that was at one point involved in the battle for the win.
0:14 remaining: Corvette #3 has a very real chance at a podium in GTLM, now just a second behind the #25 BMW of Connor de Philippi. Corvette driver Antonio Garcia makes some light contact with the GTD McLaren, but is still well within reach of the BMW.
0:21 remaining: The #9 PFAFF Porsche takes a slight detour off the track to not crash after some light contact with one of the Lexus RC-Fs. That car falls from third to fourth in GTD.
0:41 remaining: The DPi leaders make what are likely their final stops, and the #6 and #7 Acuras have come back on track without issues.
Two other pieces of note from the pit lane; First, the #55 Mazda DPi, which was not in contention for a race win today but very much did need a finish to stay alive in the championship hunt, has some sort of mechanical issue and can't seem to get into gear. That could be a catastrophic issue for that car, which still had a very real chance of a championship heading into today.
In GTLM, meanwhile, the two Corvettes have both stopped from their spots at the front of that class. Unfortunately for them, that strategy seems to have not panned out, and, while those cars will have a healthy compliment of fuel and tires in their fight to finish as well as possible, a win is unlikely.
0:52 remaining: Notably, the #4 Corvette not only got past the #66 Ford but built a five second gap over it during the last stint. Those Corvettes are running well on their alternate strategy, but have math to overcome if they are to win this race.
1:08 remaining: As they run, the leads in all three major classes have stretched out to 12 seconds. It's 73 seconds in LMP2, too.
1:18 remaining: The Corvettes, which are running an alternate strategy, have stopped in GTLM, ceding the top four back to Ford and BMW.
1:24 remaining: Acura #7 goes off into the sand after coming out a bit too close to an LMP2 car on that car's out lap. Helio Castroneves rejoins in what will cycle out to second.
Jeroen Bleekemolen was assessed a drive-through penalty for the prior incident in GTD.
1:25 remaining: The #96 Turner BMW spins after some light contact with the #33 Riley Motorspors Mercedes, and seems to rejoin without damage. Those cars were running in the top five in GTD.
1:27 remaining: The DPi pit window begins again, this time led by the #5 Action Express car rather than the #31.
1:49 remaining: BMW #24 finally stops and also comes out behind the #66 Ford. Both trail the #3 Corvette, which is on an exceedingly aggressive strategy that will require significant fuel saving over its last two stints. The #4 Corvette, on the same strategy, runs third.
Acura #6 now leads overall after Dane Cameron moves past Ricky Taylor in a very orderly, well-orchestrated battle of Team Penske Acuras.
1:51 remaining: Tom Blomqvist brings in the #25 BMW five laps later, something that could end up being significant. The #24 will stay out even longer.
BMW #25 comes out four seconds behind the #66 Ford.
1:56 remaining: Dirk Mueller makes the #66 Ford GT the first GTLM leader to pit. the #24 BMW again inherits the lead of that class.
2:00 remaining: The #67 Ford GT spins on its own from fifth in GTLM. From the look of it, Ryan Briscoe simply got back on the throttle too quickly exiting the track's final corner. The car resumes with no damage, but Briscoe pits for a driver and tire change.
2:05 remaining: Just a few laps later, the rest of the DPi field follows. Once the #77 Mazda, which is staying out a few extra laps, stops, the two Acuras will cycle out into the lead, in the same order they've been running since the start of the race.
2:08 remaining: The #31 Action Express Racing Cadillac DPi stops early, from eighth on track. That's a fast car that lost track position as a direct result of chaos during the start of the race, so this is likely an attempt to regain track position by any means necessary.
2:20 remaining: The #24 BMW falls to second in GTLM, losing that position to the #66 Ford GT. That car had some sort of issue exiting turn 2, slowing on corner exit and ceding not only the position but about four seconds on track. That's something to watch over the course of the rest of the race, particularly with how fast the BMW M8s have been this weekend.
2:26 remaining: The #86 Acura NSX has fallen from second to fourth after Cooper MacNeil moves the #63 Scuderia Corse Ferrari into second into the first major corner on the track and the #9 PFAFF Porsche quickly follows. Those cars have lost some time on the class-leading #48 Lamborghini, which enjoys a comfortable cushion thanks in no small part to that Acura's early struggles.
2:28 remaining: The lead overall is now fairly significant, with the #7 and #6 Penske Acuras now a full four seconds and most of the lapped GTD field ahead of the #10 of Jordan Taylor. The #55 and #77 Mazdas, the entries of the former title sponsor of this very track, seem to be struggling to keep up with the Cadillacs and Acuras in the early running.
2:34 remaining: The three major class pole sitters are all out to reasonable leads after about five laps, although the #63 Scuderia Corse Ferrari is putting fairly significant pressure on the #86 Michael Shank Racing Acura NSX for second in GTD. With a long train of cars equally interested in that pass happening following close behind, that's the most competitive battle on the track.
2:39 remaining: Green flag. Jordan Taylor tries to get past #6 Acura for second overall, but relents before turn 1. The resulting chaos ends with the #31 Action Express Cadillac going off-track before the end of the corner, but the DPi field seems to have escaped without any significant damage.
2:40 remaining: With the now-traditional Petit Le Mans season finale just a few weeks away, today's round at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca marks a pivotal moment in every championship race in the series. This is, after all, the last non-endurance race of the season, the last chance to run hard for a win without having to worry about the consequences of a risky pass or a questionable fuel strategy four hours from now.
In DPi, the story of the weekend is a big balance-of-performance swing for the Cadillac entries, which come into this weekend both lighter and more powerful than when they last ran at Road America. This has already proven to be beneficial for leading Cadillac outfits Action Express Racing and Wayne Taylor Racing, who are showing competitive pace against the Mazda and Acura entries for the first time in in months. Every championship in that class is still up for grabs, and, in the IMSA points system, today is just as important as the upcoming ten-hour Petit Le Mans. Team Penske's Acuras holds down the front row, followed by the Wayne Taylor Racing Cadilac, the #77 Joest Mazda, and the #31 Action Express Racing Cadillac.
GTLM will be led to the green by the #24 BMW, ahead of the #66 Ford and #25 BMW. Notably, the first Porsche, the #912, starts fourth, a tough spot for the manufacturer that leads the class championship in 1-2 fashion.
The GTD polesitter will be the #48 Paul Miller Racing Lamborghini Huracan, followed by the #86 Michael Shank Racing Acura NSX, the #63 Scuderia Corse Ferrari 488, the #9 PFAFF Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R, the #96 Turner Motorsports BMW, and the #76 Compass Racing McLaren 720S. That's six manufacturers in the top six positions.

Support Mega Man 11 at the PlayStation Blog Game of the Year 2018 Awards
Mega Man 11 has been nominated for "Best PS4 Game", "Best Art Direction" and "Best Soundtrack" at the PlayStation Blog Game of the Year 2018 Awards. It's unlikely the game will win when it goes against heavy hitters like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man or Red Dead Redemption 2 to name a few, but you can always show some support for the Blue Bomber!
You can vote in the North American PlayStation Blog and European PlayStation Blog independently. Good luck!

I am willing to show my support for "Best PS4 Game" and "Best Art Direction" even though it doesn't deserve it, it was a great game but come on...
However, I am not willing AT ALL to support the "Best Soundtrack" thing. There was not a single track worth talking about, the worst OST in the whole series easily
Francis December 23, 2018 at 11:19 AM
I have to disagree. I thought the Mega Man 8 soundtrack was way worse than Mega Man 11.
Krazy Monkey December 23, 2018 at 4:34 PM
It was the other way around for me. I thought Mega Man 8's soundtrack was pretty awesome. MM11 had very few songs that were in any way memorable.
I also have to disagree. I thought the Mega Man 8 soundtrack was way better than Mega Man 11.
In all seriousness, I liked a few tracks from 11, specifically Blast Man's Stage, Stage Select, and the Wily "Stage Select" which remixes a little bit of Mega Man 4 Boss Theme. I learned to appreciate Acid Man's theme too through an 8-bit remix (which I think is still better.)
MM8's soundtrack craps on 11 from a height.
11 is the superior game, but it has one of the worst MM soundtracks I've ever heard.
Azdrerios December 24, 2018 at 6:07 AM
MM11 didn't really offer much in terms of a good soundtrack. The only songs that actually felt they belonged in a genuine Mega Man game were the fortress themes, boss musics included.
With that said, MM8's OST was *far* superior, even if some of the 8boss themes were a bit too cartoony. The final boss themes are still among my favorites in the entire series.
shaynomack December 24, 2018 at 11:39 AM
Who would have thought getting the worst sound team in franchise history to work on 11's soundtrack would make for bad results? Oh yeah me the second they announced the star force team was going anywhere near this. Sad we got stuck with those useless sound devs.
I thought I was alone in thinking MM11's ost was god awful... glad to see I'm not
everyone on youtube is saying how amazing the songs were, and I was just thinking to myself... is it just me? lol
@shaynomack: Get real, that is not the Mega Man Star Force sound team, Marika Suzuki is a supplementary composer to the BEST COMPOSERS IN MEGA MAN'S MUSICAL HISTORY FREE BY A MILE, Yoshino Aoki and Akira Kaida.
Those two legendary composers that rocked the helm of the Battle Network and Star Force STs had NOTHING to do with Mega Man 11's soundtrack. You guys are talking about MM8 besting MM11's music, something like Star Force 3 absolutely obliterates it cleanly. Who even is Marika? She made like the two most mediocre pieces of music in MMSF2 (which are still miles ahead of her work on 11), she isn't even in league with the other two.
That said MM11's ost should have been handled by some generic name the fans associate with the classic series like Takashi Tateishi, Yasuaki Fujita and (cringe....) Manami... Matsumae (gosh help me) just so the fans didn't fall back on the composers as an excuse. Although I think Ippo is respected to some degree in the classic fandom.

@Anonymous: Ippo Yamada is respected in the fandom for a very good reason, even if he did only work on 9 & 10. The man is an 8-bit genius when it comes to composing NES-style music... and not just Mega Man tracks, either: his contributions to the OST of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon were absolutely godlike.
The fact that they didn't involve ANY of the Inti folks in the production of MM11 makes me think Capcom *really* wanted to prove they could make a successful Mega Man game without the help of anyone from "Inafune's gang," so to say. Since most of the people who had worked on many previous MM games had already left the company, the MM11 team was formed from what were essentially just random Capcom employees with very little to no Mega Man experience: hence, Marika was chosen. With that said, I guess she did okay for a first-timer, but that's not the kind of performance the fans have come to expect from Mega Man games.
@Azdrerios: I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jelly that Bloodstained has Michiru Yamane, she's another greatest of all time artist. Damn... Stage 2 Curse of the Moon is beyond godly.
"Best Soundtrack"
LOOOOOOOOL
Well the original tracks are a tad too much techno for me, but the free instrumental tracks DLC is definitely a step up.

Is this another case of the "fandom" hating things that aren't 8-bit? Cause I swear anytime a soundtrack isn't "8-bit" people crap all over it or say catchphrases like "not memorable" (silly phrase, just say you don't like it jeezes, memory, give me a break, some of the crappiest things are "memorab-- anyway moving on).
The 11 ost wasn't bad, it relied more on stage atmosphere than kinda character themeish (IDK a word to describe it) melodies. It doesn't make for a good listen on its own but it's built to accompany the stages. That said personally I do think it is a weak Mega Man soundtrack, sorry the bar is set too high I agree with Azdrerios the Wily stage bosses (especially the 3rd boss theme best theme in the game IMO) and maybe one or two Robot Master tracks like Acid Man and Fuse Man are sorta Mega Man caliber tracks.

Yeah, because Mega Man 8 was totally in 8-bit, right? Let me get this straight. You go out of your way to strawman everyone here who's criticized Mega Man 11's soundtrack as being 8-bit purists, but in the same breath, you cite the very post that blatantly contradicts your argument? Really?
What are you talking about? I didn't cite anything and I didn't strawman anything, I just asked a question and lambasting the term memorable in relation to to good music. If you think you were referenced it is completely coincidental, I was talking in generalities. Maybe subconsciously I did reference your comments because they triggered something I may have already had issues with, but I assure you nothing said in this comment section is new to me I've had grips with this topic for many many years, well over a decade.
BTW Mega Man 8 is the epitome of being divisive among the fandom, me liking that soundtrack as well as Rokman&Forte(SPC) is the specific reason I think there is a bias generally in the fandom against non "8-bit", because I constantly run into people denigrating them. Even Mega Man 7 isn't treated with any sort of reverence, at least not anywhere near the "8-bit" stuff. I also see near universally the inverse were 8-bit style osts are lauded to the moon and back, and whenever something isn't in that style people seem super anxious for a remake in 8-bit, that's just some reasons. Also this is just my perception I'm not laying down the law with demonstrative facts, I'm just casually commenting about my perspective. It could be there is no overall bias toward "8-bit" but I just don't see it that way.
Fair enough. However, I'd still like to clarify what I mean by "unmemorable" in the case of Mega Man 11's soundtrack. I was saying that I considered most of the game's music to be so bland and generic-sounding, that I hardly have any recollection of it in the first place, and I'm saying this as someone who's played through the game more than ten times so far. That's how unremarkable it was to me. Of all thirty-five songs that are in the game (according to the official track listing), I'm only able to remember eleven or twelve of them (one of which is the stage start theme, which has been around since the first game). However, I do think the "Wily Numbers Instrumentals" version was better than the standard soundtrack; same goes for some of the 8-bit remixes you spoke of. Going by these, maybe the soundtrack itself isn't a hundred percent terrible, and it was just the instrumentation that didn't do it any justice. At least that's the way I see it.
Also, I'm not denying that there are people in the fandom who hate on anything in the series that isn't 8-bit (with IGN's "In Defense of Mega Man 10" article being a prime example; seeing as that entire piece was dedicated to defending the 8-bit art style, I don't believe for one second that he had any other reason for bashing Mega Man 7 and 8 the way he did), but I could assure you that I'm sure as hell not one of them. I also didn't get that vibe from anyone who's commented on this article, and I say this as someone who ranted about that very subject on a regular basis back when Mega Man 9 (along with 10, to some degree) was new.
Mark Havoc December 28, 2018 at 9:55 PM
Well thanks for the explanation, I didn't mean to directly offend or lump you into anything, I just don't associate being unmemorable with bad, well maybe blandness and genericness depending on how you define it and the context.
For example I can not remember many tracks from Vagrant Story for the life of me, and personally for me as a casual listener it does kindof sound like generic orchestral Hitoshi Sakimoto music, which has a generic JRPG sound to it already. But I think it is GOOD music when I do listen to it, it is technically well composed and executed, as well as fitting fine with the material. Despite not being supremely stuck in head material in many instances or very unique sounding, I can listen to it all day, it's just good old, idk, JRPG sounding stuff. The opposite occurs as well where there are some badly executed and highly unique sounding music that are terrible and I remember forever or get stuck in my head for long periods of time, making me crazy trying to get it out of my memory. This especially happens if the music has a simple, redundant and repetitive lead or beat that is unbelievably dry. I'm also not saying highly experimental and creative music can't be good or that certain generic music can't be bad. Basically I think memorability in and of itself is not a good quantifier for the quality of music, personally speaking I can't follow that logic. Maybe I am a weird human and I have finicky and dysfunctional random memory, but I don't think I am. I also think it's contextual, so I'm willing to accept the phrase if it is referencing something known for a particular style or objective I'm basically not an absolutest about it. I just see it used all the time to reference everything, you seemed to have used it earnestly to describe your expectations of Mega Man music though.
Keep it friendly. Disparaging, belittling and derogatory comments are not permitted.

Graves Brings Conservative Focus to Legislative Branch Funding
Posted Apr 30, 2015 5:00 AM
@bridgetbhc
Democrats try to expand House battlefield by targeting six more districts Liz Cheney is not running for Senate in Wyoming Impeachment managers all represent safe Democratic seats

For Rep. Tom Graves, his role as chairman of the subcommittee that doles out funds for the legislative branch is an opportunity to put his fiscal conservative principles into practice. “From day one, my focus as a new-breed appropriator was to look for areas where we could save taxpayer dollars," the Georgia Republican, who chairs the House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee, told CQ Roll Call in a phone interview. "As chairman of a subcommittee, I have that same focus. For me, the focus was how do we save taxpayer dollars and uphold the institution for future generations?”
In other words, it's a balancing act: Cutting funds where possible, while ensuring there are enough funds to keep the Capitol and other legislative branch agencies running.
On April 23, Graves' subcommittee approved the $3.3 billion fiscal 2016 spending bill, keeping the bottom line spending at the same level as 2015. The bill excluded Senate spending, as each chamber defers to the other to set its own spending.
“It wasn’t easy," Graves said of drafting the appropriations bill. "A lot of requests that certainly are warranted; unfortunately, we weren’t able to provide each and every agency what they were requesting.”
But not all agencies' funding remained stagnant. The U.S. Capitol Police received a $21 million boost from its 2015 funding, though that was still below the department's request. Graves said ensuring the Capitol Police Department was properly funded was "clearly, one of my priorities” and funding the department “was critically important.”
Facing a shortfall in the current fiscal year, according to internal memos , the department has suspended all training except handgun and long-gun training until October.
In addition to ensuring safety of the Capitol complex, Graves said another priority has been to overhaul legislative branch funding. He pointed to the provision in the bill that cuts the Open World Leadership Center, which is an exchange program for officials from post-Soviet countries. Graves said the program "was a laudable objective from the 1990s but [it] was meant to be a one-time program." He said these types of Washington programs "always over-live their lives.”
However, the Open World closing drew criticisms from some Democrats.
"I would caution the subcommittee to not hastily cut this initiative," House Appropriations ranking member Nita M. Lowey, D-N.Y., said at last week's markup. "Open World fosters democratic principles and we should be engaging, not dismissing, young Russian leaders who are not part of the Russian government. Additionally at a time of great need, we should not dismantle efforts that reach out to Ukraine and other protagonists."
The typically bipartisan bill also drew criticism from the subcommittee's ranking Democrat.
“We are at the point now where we are starting to cut into bone in some places, and it is unwise,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said on April 23. She warned such cuts, particularly to the Architect of the Capitol, could harm safety around the Capitol complex. The bill allocated nearly $497 million for the AOC, $9 million less than its 2015 funding.
"We have left many important, urgent, time-sensitive life safety projects off the list for funding," Wasserman Schultz said. "And there’s just no question that we put safety in jeopardy when we do that.”
Graves noted to CQ Roll Call that one area of agreement with the ranking member was in regard to conducting oversight over AOC projects.
“Something that was of major importance to myself but also ranking member Wasserman Schultz was to provide oversight and accountability to a lot of the construction projects,” Graves said.
He pointed to language in the legislative branch bill that requires the AOC to submit to the Comptroller General and the Appropriations Committee any schedule or cost changes for projects costing more than $5 million. AOC cannot obligate funds for the project until the changes are submitted and approved.
But last week, Wasserman Schultz said she was concerned about the provision in the bill. "The members should know that those plans are already included in the budget request, and I think that this additional layer is duplication,” she said.
Despite their differences, the Legislative Branch bill is moving forward, with the full Appropriations Committee scheduled to mark it up Thursday.

Baker McKenzie partner accused of sexual harassment leaves firm
The partner who sexually harassed a junior female lawyer is leaving Baker McKenzie.
Last week RollOnFriday revealed that the senior partner (whom RollOnFriday is not naming due to the victim's concerns that her identity could be 'jigsawed' if he were identified) invited several associates including the victim back to his hotel for drinks, after which he assaulted her. The firm has confirmed that, following the reports of the assault and subsequent cover-up, the partner is now leaving the firm. RollOnFriday understands that his position was regarded as untenable.
The SRA is now considering whether to launch an investigation into the conduct of Baker McKenzie in relation to the episode. An SRA spokesperson said, “Now that we’re aware of the issue, we will seek further information before deciding on appropriate action”. Of particular concern will be Baker McKenzie's failure to report the matter to the SRA when it occurred. Section 10.4 of the Solicitors Code of Conduct obliges firms to tell the SRA "promptly" about "any serious misconduct" by any authorised person. The non-disclosure element of the settlement agreement entered into by Bakers is also problematic.The Code states that one way in which a firm could fail to comply is by entering into an agreement "which would attempt to preclude" the SRA from investigating "an actual or potential complaint or allegation of professional misconduct".
"Sure we can keep a lid on it."
A spokesman for the firm said, “We are in dialogue with the SRA on this matter. As a firm, our values of inclusion and diversity are extremely important to us and we are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all employees. That is why we are commissioning an independent review of this particular incident and how it was subsequently handled by the firm”.
He said, “The review will also consider how we handle complaints of sexual misconduct and other inappropriate behaviour toward colleagues, to ensure we are guaranteeing the protection of our employees. We are really sorry this incident ever happened and we acknowledge we should have handled it better”.

'As a firm, it is of paramount importance that we give the impression of valuing inclusion and diversity. That is why we are churning platitudinous nonsense with misplaced earnestness and, unbelievable, a straight face. We are really sorry that that it has come to light that what we do bears no relation to what we say. We acknowledge that we need to improve our cover ups.

These men need to know that this conduct is not acceptable and just paying female staff off is not enough.I am not sure much is to be gained by the SRA coming down on B&M but we do need to draw a line in the sand in 2017/.18 about this kind of conduct and any result that sees the junior woman leaving and the man kept in post or promoted will always give out the wrong signal. Make him work for 6 months without pay for example with all that pay going to the more junior woman for that period might the right kind of appropriate penalty on these men.
One of the first life lessons my mother told me as a young woman was that if a man invites you back to his flat/house/hotel room for coffee, chats, looking at etchings, he is not interested in any of those things and if you go he will assume you are up for something more than that. What were the associates doing going back to the partner's hotel room in the first place? Of course rape and sexual assualt are crimes, but was this a clumsy pass and the associate taking the opportunity to pay a chunk of her mortgage off?? Sorry to be cynical , but if it was sexual assault why did she not report it to the police?
Must be the victim's fault then. Let's blame her. That sounds sensible and in no way idiotic.
as the poster anon at 10.27 I would like to point out that I have had experience of older men and partners making passess in my career at after work drinks in a pub etc. I would never go back to a hotel room unless I too were interested in sex. If I were genuinly sexually assulted my first port of call would be the police, and then my Firm, and would rely on laws surrounding protection of whistleblowing and or being prepared to shame the firm. I may lose my job, but there are others out there. I would NEVER agree to a confidential pay off as that would only encourage men to believe their behaviour was acceptabel and as a woman at work I feel that those women who take large payoffs without reporting criminal behaviour to the proper sources, ie the Police, are letting the sisterhood down
To 11.35, we don't know all the facts. Several associates were invited back to the partner's hotel, she may have thought she was safe in a group. Even if she went there with an open mind as to what might happen, it was her prerogative to decide she didn't want to participate at any time, regardless of what signals she may or may not have given off earlier.
And as to her going to the police or shouting it from the rooftops rather than accepting a settlement, can we judge what her concerns might have been around that? He had all the power, she had none. Can a criminal barrister help me with the conviction rate for sexual assaults - I doubt it's very high. Sadly, society is all too quick to point the finger at the victim, saying she brought it on herself, so forgive her for not wanting to leave B&M in a blaze of righteous glory and go job hunting with that out in the open.
@11.35 and obviously everyone acts and looks at life in the same way as you and if they don't then it is clearly and entirely their fault.
White and Case gotfined £250,000 by the SRA for failing to properly check conflicts. Are we going to see a bigger fine for Baker McKenzie? This is breach of the SRA code had a victim - and there was a cover up.
Do people really think this is just at B&M? This is rife across the legal industry. Time for serious questions to be asked
Are people seriously suggesting that women are secretly hoping they get assaulted by their boss in the hope of a pay off? Really??! I think we're losing sight of the fact here, this was a partner, a person in a position of authority who invited junior associates to his hotel room. And we're thinking the junior associate is in some way to blame?
We don't know all the facts of this case. But if there was sexual assault why was in not reported to the police? And yes, as a woman I think if you accept invitations back to hotel rooms then be ready for a pass. If a rape/assult takes place that is a crime, but if it is a case of a man you don't fancy making a pass at you that is life, not a sexual assault. I am troubled that an accusation of sexual assault is now the 21st Century witchcraft allegation. And to poster anon at 14.00, are you saying all the other women there participated in an orgy if there were a group there? And if there was a group and he forced himself where are the witnesses and why didn't she leave in a group? At some point we women have to take responsibility for our safety and not be a c**k tease. and if it was consensual and she changed her mind in the morning, then that is despicable
I doubt some of the comments defending the assaulting partner is being led/directed by the Baker Mckenzie there is no other way to excuse the assaulter!! I think it would be best if they stop and take the necessary actions prior hand and not to try to make PR here!
Baker has major issues to resolve and this should be a wake up call - you can not brush things under the carpet just because some body is a rain maker.
Erm, to the poster at 10:27, all published reports say that the partner invited several associates back to his "hotel" not "hotel room". I'd read this as him inviting a group of them back to the public bar of his (no doubt posh) hotel, where the assault then took place. Apologies if I've misunderstood, but the conversation here about accepting invites to "hotel rooms" to "look at etchings" seems irrelevant in the present case and a pretty shameful attempt to smear the victim.
I feel like everyone here has forgotten a very basic fact – it's very easy not to commit sexual assault or rape. I go about my day not sexually assaulting or raping anyone on a very regular basis. Ok, throw in some drinks and if I'm feeling particularly randy, I'll throw in a rather sad pick up line like "Kiss me if I'm wrong, but dinosaurs still exist right?" and see if I get lucky. Clumsy passes don't necessarily involve any form of physical contact, people (again, I refer to the rather poor pickup line. Here's another "Is it hot in here or is it just you?"). Aside from poor pick up lines it can also be a knowing smile, or… heaven forbid…. Just outright saying "I really wanna snog you". I would rather get accused of "Dude, that was an awkward conversation, it felt wrong and it's not on" the next day rather than get accused of "He made me/He put his hands/He shoved me/He told me". It is so easy, not to sexually assault or rape someone or make a clumsy pass without any kind of contact. I feel like I can make an app that says this on repeat. Maybe if I put it on a beer can, guys might actually pay attention to this.
I imagine there will be a lot of firms worried now that their settlement agreements are going to hold up in the post #metoo era. After all, if someone sexually harassed decides to break cover having signed such an agreement, its highly unlikely the firm will start chasing them for their money back.
I wonder how Bakers’ clients are reacting to all these revelations. Some are rather concerned so I hear.
******damage limitation *******
I gather a certain American firm located near Fleet Street (and infamous for its randy partners) reached a similar settlement agreement with an associate in 2015/16. The partner in question moved to another American firm without any problems.
The problem I have with is that on the Friday it was said that the matter had been dealt with but by the Monday he was leaving. I can't see how much can have been done in the way of due process, he seems to have been thrown under the bus because of a media storm. If all parties agreed to the NDA then that should have brought closure, unless one party is claiming they were coerced into it.

Yushchenko: Ukrainians 'Have New Country'
(file photo) 8 December 2004 -- Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko today praised thousands of cheering supporters for their weeks of protest against electoral fraud.
Yushchenko told the crowd that during the 17 days of protests Ukrainians "have gotten a new country" and realized that they are a European nation."
He thanked the police and military for not resorting to force against the protesters.
Earlier today, Ukraine's parliament adopted a package of electoral and constitutional changes, and voted in a new Central Election Commission in a compromise intended to end a presidential election dispute.
Yushchenko said the decision "opens the way" for his victory in the rerun of the annulled November 21 presidential runoff vote.
The decision was also hailed by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.
Yushchenko is due to face pro-Moscow Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych in the 26 December repeat runoff. Yanukovych today told his supporters in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, he would win the re-vote.

The Benefits of Testosterone for Older Men
Testosterone therapy may improve sexual function, physical ability and mood in older men
(RxWiki News) Testosterone therapy has been a controversial subject for some time in the scientific community, likely because of the mixed research results tied to the practice. But that may be about to change.
A new study from the University of Pittsburgh (UP) has shown for the first time that testosterone therapy can help older men in several areas. Researchers found that testosterone gel helped improve men's walking ability. It also seemed to improve their sexual function and mood.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It affects sexual performance, mood, energy and other essential body functions. Levels of this hormone gradually decline as men age.
In 2003, the US Institute of Medicine issued a recommendation statement about testosterone therapy in men age 65 and older. The agency said that there was insufficient evidence to recommend testosterone therapy in this group.
This statement sparked seven different trials, collectively called the TTrials, on the effects of testosterone therapy in men age 65 and older.
Jane A. Cauley, DPh, chair of the TTrials recruitment committee at UP, said in a press release, "Previous testosterone trials in older men yielded [uncertain] and inconsistent results. We showed that testosterone improved men's impression that their sexual function and walking ability had improved, suggesting that these effects are clinically important."
Dr. Cauley is a professor of epidemiology at UP and the lead researcher of the trials.
The TTrial in question, called the Pittsburgh trial, compared testosterone gel (brand name Androgel) to a placebo gel. This study included three trials. Other TTrials are currently evaluating heart health, bone health, cognitive function and the risks of testosterone therapy in older men.
The Pittsburgh trial included 790 men altogether, 78 of whom lived in the area. These men were divided into two groups. One used testosterone gel. The other used a placebo gel.
The men used the gels for one year and were evaluated at three, six, nine and 12 months. Their symptoms were assessed by survey.
Dr. Cauley and team found that testosterone therapy improved sexual function and mood in these men. The men also saw improvements in the distance they could walk in six minutes, but only when all men in the TTrials were evaluated. The men in the physical function trial alone did not see significant improvements in walking ability. Testosterone therapy also did not affect energy levels in these men.
Side effects of treatment were similar in both groups.
The Pittsburgh TTrial was published Feb. 17 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The National Institute on Aging, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development funded this research. AbbVie, the pharmaceutical company that makes Androgel, supplied the gel free of charge.
Several study authors reported receiving consulting fees or grants from AbbVie or other pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Brian Keith Seevers
LISBON– Brian Keith Seevers, 53, of Center Street, passed away unexpectedly at 12:36 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9 in the emergency room at Salem Regional Medical Center.

White South Africans barred from registering on government jobs website

A registration process on a government partnered youth employment initiative has appeared to exclude white South Africans, sparking criticism from the country’s trade union.
The YES (Youth Employment Service) government jobs website aims at helping unemployed young South Africans who have been jobless for longer than six months. The program is endorsed by the National Development Plan 2030, which intends to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality within the next 12 years.
The registration criteria on the site require the applicants to be black, in accordance with the BEE definition (Black Economic Empowerment), between the ages of 18 – 34, and South African citizens.
Ramaphosa pledges to accelerate return of lands to black South Africans
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a racially selective program launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving black South African citizens, whom they define to include black, coloured and Indian people, economic privileges not available to whites.
“YES is a business-driven initiative which is breaking new ground by pioneering a partnership with government and labor, in collectively tackling a national plan to build economic pathways for black youth,” the website says. “Please note we are currently only registering candidates between the ages of 18 and 34, who are currently unemployed and must be black (as per the B-BBEE codes definition).”
YES was launched by South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa in March. He praised the initiative, saying: “We will be coming up with further initiatives to address youth unemployment.”
South Africa’s trade union Solidarity suggested that young, white South Africans were “unwelcome,” while the exclusion was part of a “long list of policies obsessed with race.”

“It is as if the President is saying to white candidates: ‘You are unwelcome and on your own!’” said Paul Maritz, coordinator of Solidarity Youth.
He noted that the empowerment project which intended to address the enormous problem of youth unemployment was an issue of major importance in South Africa.
Maritz, however, added: “Exclusion based on race is becoming the norm… We dare not allow racial exclusion to become commonplace and normal; the past has shown us how dangerous that is.”

I Am This: Jewish artists in Oregon Oregon ArtsWatch
It’s both easy and hard to wrap your head around I Am This: Art by Oregon Jewish Artists, the elegant small new exhibit at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.
Easy because the choices of artists are mostly familiar to Portland art followers, and because they share curator Bruce Guenther’s taste for modern and contemporary works that deal, whatever else might be going on in them, with the notion of beauty.
Hard because the questions the exhibit asks – What does it mean to be Jewish? What does it mean to be a Jewish artist? What does it mean to be a Jewish artist from Oregon? – are so elusive, with so many different answers, and ultimately with so many unanswered and perhaps unanswerable question marks. “Here we are, looking inward,” museum director Judith Margles remarked at a press preview last week, and maybe that’s at least a large part of what being Jewish means.

April 22, 2016 in World of Rugby

Blair hangs up the Blades
Mike Blair has announced a concussion-related retirement from playing rugby this week and will assume an assistant coaching role with Glasgow. As anoyone who reads his columns will know he is an astute observer of the game and should fit right in to Gregor Townsend’s setup at the Warriors.
Blair was first capped in 2002 and unfortunately played during large chunks of an era when Scotland’s attacking skills were far behind those of Blair himself. The early years of this blog were spent watching Mike burst through a gap with no-one (apart from maybe Ally Hogg) on his shoulder to support him; if he were in his prime today he would find national and pro teams far more attuned to his sensibilities.
It was also a period of riches for Scotland at scrum half – he spent the early years battling with Bryan Redpath for the 9 shirt and the later period competing with Chris Cusiter and Rory Lawson. Blair, a nominee for IRB player of the year in 2008, was a British and Irish Lion in 2009 on the agonising tour of South Africa but had a strangely subdued tour where he was far from his best.
Speaking of his best, the less said about his (post Calcutta Cup win) naked underpant dancing being broadcast live on the BBC from a victorious Scotland changing room, the better.
Mike played his club rugby for Edinburgh, Brive, Newcastle and finally Glasgow and retired from international rugby in 2013 with 85 caps. We wish him all the best for the future.
Carmichael joins Edinburgh
Continuing the aim of integrating young Scottish players into the professional set-up, Edinburgh Rugby confirmed the signing of Edinburgh-born, former North Berwick HS pupil and lock Lewis Carmichael on a two-year deal. He represented the city of his birth at under-17 and under-18 levels before being drafted into the Scotland under-18 squad, making his debut against England in March 2013. Edinburgh are also rumoured to be interested in Samoan centre Sasa Tofilau who has been playing for Kirkcaldy but appeared in Edinburgh colours at the Melrose Sevens (which they won).
Macphail Scholarship
Scottish Rugby Academy players Patrick Kelly (Glasgow Hawks and former Scotland under-20) and Ross McCann (Stewart’s Melville RFC and Scotland under-19) have been awarded the coveted 2016 John Macphail Rugby Scholarship and will spend 15 weeks immersed in the nation’s renowned rugby culture and high-performance training.
Kelly and McCann departed for Canterbury at the start of the month (9 April) where they will join the Crusaders High Performance unit, and team up with local club sides to assist with their development.
Centre Kelly, a product of Highland RFC, captained Merchiston Castle School to the Brewin Dolphin Scottish Schools Cup final in 2012. He occupied the starting inside-centre berth in all of Scotland under-20’s five games of the 2015 Six Nations Championship, playing a key role in side’s victories over Wales, Italy and Ireland. He was then selected for the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Italy, and made starting appearances in four of the five games, before joining Scottish Rugby’s new Academy programme.
Prolific wing McCann scored four tries in his three appearances for Scotland under-16, and replicated his try scoring form for the Edinburgh age-grade side, crossing the whitewash twice in his four appearances. The former Royal High School pupil captained his school to Brewin Dolphin Plate success in 2014 and made his international under-18 debut as he came off the bench in the 21-13 defeat of Ireland Schools at Mayfield, Dundee.
Previous recipients include a host of current Scotland internationalists, including John Barclay (2005), Kevin Bryce (2007), Grant Gilchrist (2011), Jonny Gray (2012), Finn Russell (2013) and Adam Ashe (2014).

No games this weekend…….. Ayr v Heriots BT Premiership Final!!!!!
Rory Baldwin on April 26th, 2016 - 9:06am
My apologies, of course I meant pro team games. Sounds like a lot of you saw the game though! We are always looking for folk to write up Prem 1 games… (hint)
EricF on April 23rd, 2016 - 8:46pm
I have to say I don’t understand the top of the Premiership play-offs. Ayr won the division at a canter and are surely the rightful champions? They’ve just lost to Heriots in a one-off match which is supposed to be the characteristic of cup competitions, not leagues. No disrespect to Heriots, but surely Ayr are the side who’ve shown a winning consistency over the season and have come out on top? It just doesn’t seem right that they’ve now lost the championship to a side that finished third – 12 points behind them.
O R Fan on April 23rd, 2016 - 10:22pm
Absolutely correct!! As a Heriots supporter, Ayr won the the league!!!!
Mind you, great game and turn out out at Millbrae today! Two club treasurers very happy!!!
EricF on April 24th, 2016 - 9:18am
Heriots are deserved winners, as they won the match that counted. I understand why play-offs at the bottom/top of adjacent leagues make practical sense, but if over a season you’ve dominated the top league in club rugby then you are surely league champions, and this shouldn’t be taken away from you in an unnecessary (if money-spinning) “cup final”.
pragmatic optomist on April 25th, 2016 - 11:14pm
I hope Graham Wells doesn’t referee another Ayr match.
He reffed 5 this year and Ayr lost all of them. A coincidence?
Bulldog on April 26th, 2016 - 12:22am
That would appear to be a spooky fact , Ayr only lost 4 in the league plus the play off.
The final score came from the botched line out to the tail when Ayr should have been playing safe IMO.
On balance I thought Ayr were the better side however the score board never lies.
Matto on April 29th, 2016 - 12:10am
Apologies for generally unrelated comment, but it’s really disappointing that there is no tv broadcast in Scotland of the qualifying crunch Munster – Edinburgh game.
Little Discourage on April 29th, 2016 - 9:08am
Share your frustrations but I believe that it will be on the BBC Sport website as a live video broadcast. Out of the two games, the Edinburgh match is clearly the bigger match but that might not have been obvious when scheduling was decided. BBC Alba can only show one and the output has been solid Edinburgh last few moths. Not Alba’s fault that Sky haven’t picked up one of the matches.
FF on April 29th, 2016 - 9:23am
Chat on Edinburgh forum is that Edi v Mun was originally scheduled but dropped by BBC in favour of Glas v Zebre. Can’t say I blame them as Glasgow game is likely to be easier on the eye and a successful Scottish team winning matches probably pulls in viewers. Nevertheless Edinburgh game is far more uncertain and is a crucial game for us. Can’t say I’m optimistic about the result but a win tonight would be massive.
Scott McCall on April 29th, 2016 - 1:34pm
I believe the Edinbugh game is being shown live in Ireland on the Irish language channel TG4. There might be some way of getting a livestream of it to allow you to watch it.
Matto on April 29th, 2016 - 11:06pm
Cheers for the heads up on that Scott. Christ it’s hard going watching Edinburgh sometimes. Plenty of good and then just some really amateurish bad. The lack of support around Brown collecting the deep ball just before the 1st try was shocking. Fair enough Kinghorn was probably still seeing fairies after the collision with Murray.
I try to get to as many Edinburgh games as possible. Even though I live in Aberdeen there have been seasons when I’ve probably made 2/3 of Edinburgh home games, finishing work early on a Friday to just get down the A90 and drop off the motor before kick off. I also have just renewed my Scotland season ticket for the 3rd time. So I don’t feel bad about trying to catch a game on the telly, when I can’t be there in person.
Andy N on April 29th, 2016 - 11:38am
I don’t think this is about Zebre game being easier on the eye. They must assume a larger viewing audience for the Glasgow game, possibly due to fact that match is sold out. If you really want to watch the edinburgh game, go get a ticket and support your team.
FF on April 29th, 2016 - 12:32pm
Er, I said it is because the Glasgow game will pull in more viewers. I think it is because they are successful as well as because they play attractive rugby, I’m sure their games pull in more viewers regardless of whether Scotstoun is sold out or not. I try to watch as many of their games as I can and support them as my second team. Sometimes watching edinburgh can be an endurance sport in itself and I wouldn’t blame Scottish fans for not wanting to tune in to our games.

Laemmle's Ahrya Fine Arts Theater

The Laemmle Theatres chain, a hub for independent film and arthouse fare, is up for sale.
The nine-location theater chain has stayed within the Laemmle family since its founding in 1938. But theater attendance has hit low and after low in recent years. Though this year’s record-setting box-office behemoths like “The Lion King” and “Avengers: Endgame” might make 2019 a net positive year in ticket sales, even those blockbuster can’t course-correct the downward trend.
This news comes on the heels of the iPic’s Chapter 11 filing. Recent years have seen a rise in experimentation at the theaters, like dynamic pricing and subscription services for movie tickets, as the film industry tries to battle the rising popularity of streaming services.
Ironically, reports say that streaming services like Amazon and Netflix may be among the interested buyers, but Laemmle’s president, Greg Laemmle, said only that the company is “exploring a number of different options.”
Larry and the FilmWeek critics are joined by reporter Bob Strauss and media analyst Paul Dergarabedian to discuss the impact of Laemmle’s potential sale on Los Angeles and the changing landscape of movie theaters.

York teacher honored
YORK — State Rep. Paul McGowan presented York High School teacher Jeff Barry with a Legislative Sentiment honoring him for his work with students on Project Citizen.
McGowan gave Barry the document from the Maine State Legislature during a faculty meeting at York High School on Wednesday, May 21.
Project Citizen gets students involved in issues of interest to the community.
Resident Victoria Simon was so impressed with the program she asked McGowan if there was a way to recognize Barry. A program promoted by Simon, BYOB, "Bring Your Own Bag," was taken up by students for Project Citizen.
Simon attended Wednesday's faculty meeting.
"We're here to recognize Jeff Barry and Project Citizen in which Jeff teaches civics," Simon said. The goal of the BYOB program "is to eliminate plastic bag waste."
Because of Project Citizen, she said, "Young adults will be activists in the real world."
Barry thanked McGowan, Simon and others to the applause of fellow teachers.

On Wonderland & Waste
Poetic narratives by Sandy Florian
With collages by Alexis Anne Mackenzie
“A bellow that is not a bucket. A bucket that is not a bone. There is wisdom in slipping into oceans. Into those wider organs horning. The way churches slip into twilight. Stone after stone. See the plaything on the mantel. I lean toward the paintings. See the baby fastened on the mast. I lean toward the window. See the sea, see the ship, see the ship’s low hull. See the winding of vowels by the function of the fist.”
Sandy Florian's On Wonderland & Waste is a novel in narratives bent on exposing the mind as an instrument of language “not entirely there.” Featuring full-color collages by Alexis Anne Mackenzie, these 12 lyrical meditations on desire, delirium, duty, and dismemberment destabilize what we can measure of the meaning underlying our experience with a visceral diction that reminds us that “the sharpest of tongues cut their own throats first.”
“The modernist impulse toward innovation and experiment alive in James Joyce's Ulysses and Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons lives on in Sandy Florian's On Wonderland & Waste. Florian writes at the leading edge of the contemporary.” —Robert Savino Oventile, Sobriquet

Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by lewis and herschel on 1/13/20 at 10:52 pm
PAC 12 is horrendous.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by wdhalgren on 1/13/20 at 10:55 pm to lewis and herschel
I think SEC officiating is corrupt. Not all of them, not all of the time, but some of them some of the time put their finger on the scale.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by lewis and herschel on 1/13/20 at 10:56 pm to wdhalgren
The offensive pass interfernce call is the worst call in the history of football outside of the spot in the Michigan SCU game.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by bunkerhill on 1/14/20 at 10:12 am to lewis and herschel
I have been a fan and followed college football for decades. Pass interference is still the most subjective thing in football, imo. There were some flagrant pass interference plays that were called last night but some were not and I thought they were just as bad. The offensive pass interference called on Clemson, the TD catch, I thought was very iffy. It looked like both guys committed PI.
The SEC officials are as good as any other group out there.

re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by AlaCowboy on 1/14/20 at 7:26 pm to bunkerhill
I think you meant to say "... are no worse than any other group out there."
I think the PAC12 guys called a fairly good game. They let both sides play off each other fairly evenly, but a few of the PI calls were iffy. As usual with PAC12 officials they allowed linemen downfield on pass plays all night. I think they called it 2 or 3 times.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by lewis and herschel on 1/14/20 at 7:39 pm to AlaCowboy
My big issue was the Higgins call back, he was wide open, the DB was 3 yards away, ran up and grabbed the wr, then fell over and the wr got called for pi.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by meansonny on 1/14/20 at 8:25 pm to lewis and herschel
It was awful
Yeah. It is a lot for a ref to see. But "who initiated contact" and "was the opponent reaction roughly equal".
On that particular PI, the ref was out of position to see the DBs hands all over the receiver (and inside his jersey).
It should have been a non call. But refs have to be allowed to call what they see (and he couldnt see what the DB was doing).
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by lewis and herschel on 1/14/20 at 8:26 pm to meansonny
That's a no call to me period. The DB was out of position and tried to tackle the wr.
You have to be sure to take a score of the board.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by AlaCowboy on 1/15/20 at 3:10 pm to lewis and herschel
The WR was open because of the offensive PI that was called. he was pushed off and I think the official just got his hankie out late. It happened about 10 yards back.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by meansonny on 1/15/20 at 3:29 pm to AlaCowboy
happened about 10 yards back.
Ummm no. It was virtually the exact opposite reason for the spacing.
The space was because of the 10 yard free release and inside leverage at the numbers on the field (the receiver had a ton of free room to run towards the pileon. The ball was underthrown allowing the defender to make ground and initiate contact with the receiver.
The receiver pushed off. But he pushed off the contact initiated by the defender (I hate those PI calls where one player does something illegal and the normal resulting action by the opponent gets called).
UGA has had defensive pass interference calls when the receiver stems the DB with his arm. The defender grabs the arm and removes it from the jersey and gets called for defensive holding. Pisses me off.

Not all of them, not all of the time, but some of them some of the time put their finger on the scale.
The refs during the 1st half of the Auburn SECCG were so horrible that it seemed like they were under orders. The 2nd half they were much better, but it makes me wonder if someone told them to knock it off at halftime since it seemed so obvious. (At least to me and my butthurt nature at the time)
No, he was open because he out ran the DB, slowed up to catch the ball and the DB tried to drag him down.
The wr did nothing but try to catch the ball.
HTDawg
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by HTDawg on 1/16/20 at 10:23 am to lewis and herschel
I assume you're talking about this play? If not, I stand corrected. First of all, the receiver was never really open. Secondly, to suggest he did nothing is a bit disingenuous. The LSU CB only grabbed him after Higgins pulled him down. I don't see how the Higgins is doing nothing.

The defender initiated contact downfield. The receiver was tracking the ball. The defender wasnt (which makes that contact potential pass interference).
The reaction from the receiver is normal when the opponent is getting an advantage illegally.
It should have been a non call (actions by both). The ref didnt see the defender grab the receiver. And the ref ignored the fact that the receiver had a right to the ball as he was the only one looking for it.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by HTDawg on 1/16/20 at 11:06 am to meansonny
Maybe so, but a receiver can't gain an advantage by pulling a guy down by the jersey, which he clearly does.
And the ref ignored the fact that the receiver had a right to the ball
Both have a right to the ball. The defender was trying to get his head turned but wasn't in a position to really do so.
This argument is why refs have an incredibly difficult job because two different people judge that play differently.

Play wasn’t all that different than the first Florida td against us, except they flagged our dB and not their wr.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by lewis and herschel on 1/16/20 at 11:23 am to HTDawg
DB does not have the right to the space the wr is occupying.
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by meansonny on 1/16/20 at 12:21 pm to lewis and herschel
DB does not have the right to the space the wr is occupying
Agreed. WR is running to a spot for the ball. DB is running into receiver (DB was beat. He was in desperation mode and wasnt focused on the ball at all).
re: Sec officials may suck but they are the best in the business,Posted by meansonny on 1/16/20 at 12:26 pm to HTDawg
The receiver has a right to remove a defender who has initiated contact. Absolutely. I couldnt disagree more.
The defender falls because he is flailing in desperation mode.
Both have a right to the ball
Agree. But to have a right to the ball, you have to be making a play on the ball. Otherwise, the defender is taking a right into the receiver (which was his goal having been beaten)
The defender was trying to get his head turned but wasn't in a position to really do so.
The defender wasnt trying to get his head around. He was desperate. He was flailing into the receiver to do anything to disrupt the catch. Sure. The defender didn't want to get beat. Wanted to get his head around. Wanted to high point the ball. All he accomplished was getting beat, running into the receiver, and tripping over his feet when the receiver pushed off and threw off his balance.
The job is even more difficult because the receiver is shielding the ref from the defender. The ref doesnt see the contact by the defender or the grab by the defender. All he sees is the push off. And the ref has to call what he sees.

I warned a bunch of tOSU and Clemson buddies that as much as they bitched about how bad the SEC officials were in their semifinal, what they would see in the final with the PAC 12 officials was going to be many times worse. They laughed and said I was crazy.
I woke up Tuesday morning (did not watch any of the game on Monday) to at least 10 texts saying variations of, "you were right."

Select CITYWALK IndiaThe Creative Retreat at Select CITYWALK: An Effigy of Red Fort Made Out-Of-Waste
The Creative Retreat at Select CITYWALK: An Effigy of Red Fort Made Out-Of-Waste
Everyone’s favourite shopping destination – Select CITYWALK – grabbed a million eyeballs with its special art installation on the occasion of India’s 73rd Independence Day. Demonstrating the true patriotic spirit, the shopping destination has outshone itself yet again with its décor.
We, Indians, have been celebrating the days of national importance with much vigour and enthusiasm. From remembering the days of our freedom struggle to appreciating the way India is moving forward with all its might, our celebrations have always been multi-faceted.
To uplift the true Indian spirit, Select CITYWALK marked its Independence Day celebrations by installing an effigy of the iconic Red Fort made out-of-waste. The effigy was on display, so every mall-goer could take a moment from his/her shopping schedule and appreciate the patriotic essence by reverencing one of the most significant monuments of national importance i.e. The Red Fort.
The artist who made it possible expressed his pleasure on the completion of his relevant artwork. He said, “The red fort which we installed in Select CITYWALK was created using various scrap materials. For instance, almirah sheet was used to make the walls of the fort, kadhai for its dome, and spark plug for the dome tip. Some other scrap materials included angle, pipe c channel and I beam. The total of 2-ton scrap and 7 days of relentless work resulted in this artwork.”
Apart from the effigy of the Red Fort, Select CITYWALK bathed itself in the colours of independence. While the stunning tricolour décor reverberated the spirit of our national flag, the spectacular Ashoka Chakra ceiling drops titivating the majestic tri-coloured National Emblem of India filled the hearts of the viewers. Moreover, suggesting the progressive state of affairs with regards to our motherland, special art installations were also put on display. They showed an elaborative artwork with our national motto “Satyamev Jayate”.

Oti in Fiji for Pre-reconciliation Talks
Wednesday, 24 November 2010 09:23 AM
Recently appointed special envoy, Patterson Oti, is in Fiji to discuss the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) reconciliation ceremony scheduled for next month.
The traditional reconciliation ceremony is for Vanuatu Prime Minister Edward Natapei to offer his apology to Fiji.
Mr. Natapei who was the MSG chairman, refused to attend July's MSG Summit in Fiji where he was to hand over the chairmanship position to Fiji's leader Commodore Frank Bainimarama.
This led to the cancellation of the Summit.
Fiji Times reports that Fiji's Foreign Affairs Minister Ratu Inoke Kubuabola has confirmed the delegation from Solomon Islands saying it will be led by MSG special envoy Patterson Oti.
He says Mr. Oti is in Fiji to meet and discuss the finer details of the MSG reconciliation ceremony.
A meeting between Mr. Oti and Fiji's Foreign Affairs Minister has been scheduled for tomorrow.
The traditional reconciliation ceremony will be hosted by the Solomon government in Honiara on December 15.

Search For Lives
Famous Mars Meteorite's 'Fossils': What Arctic Rocks Can Tell Us
By Leslie Mullen 2012-11-12T16:55:47Z

In 1996, a research group led by Dave McKay of NASA’s Johnson Space Center claimed to have found evidence of fossilized life in a Mars meteorite known as Allan Hills 84001.
Not only did the shapes look like bacteria, but a form of magnetite (iron oxide) was found in the meteorite that, on Earth, is produced within the bodies of certain bacteria. The study also found tiny carbonate globules in the meteorite, which the scientists said were likely formed by living organisms in the presence of liquid water.
Since their surprising announcement, other scientists have closely examined the Allan Hills meteorite and concluded the microscopic shapes aren’t necessarily associated with life, and the different features in the meteorite all could have formed by non-biological processes.
Scientists studying the rocks of the arctic archipelago of Svalbard later found carbonate globule structures like those in the Allan Hills meteorite. Rather than being formed by life, the Svalbard structures formed when the Sverrefjell volcano erupted about a million years ago, forcing magma up through an overlying glacier. [5 Bold Claims of Alien Life]

A group at the Carnegie Institution of Washington used a Ramen spectrometer to compare abiotic Svalbard carbonate globules with those found in ALH 84001, and found a high degree of similarity.
Hans Amundsen runs the Mars analogue project AMASE (Arctic Mars Analogue Svalbard Expedition) and has been visiting Svalbard every summer for the last decade to investigate the many ways it resembles Mars. Astrobiology Magazine editor Leslie Mullen recently sat down with him at the Third Conference on Terrestrial Mars Analogues in Marrakech, Morocco, to discuss what the Svalbard rocks tell us about the still-controversial Mars meteorite.
Q: Could you tell me about the rocks in Svalbard that are analogous with the ALH 84001 Mars meteorite?
Hans Amundsen: They have the same strange carbonate minerals as the Allan Hills meteorite.
Q: The same structures that were previously thought to be fossilized life?
Amundsen: Well, yes, McKay speculated that these spheres were some sort of indication of a bio-pattern or bio-shape. I don’t know anyone who still believes that. But the shapes we see in the Svalbard rocks are identical to the ones in the Allan Hills meteorite.
Q: Identical in shape, and chemically?
Amundsen: Both.
Q: I was at a meeting a few years ago where they were still debating whether the ALH 84001 features were biological. One line of evidence they used to argue for life were the magnetic crystals they found in the meteorite.
Amundsen: Ok, yeah. The Allan Hills carbonates contain a particular type of iron oxide of magnetite with crystal morphologies that apparently are similar to what you find in microbes with these things. Some microbes use magnetite as a compass needle to navigate in the Earth’s magnetic field, so it knows when it’s swimming up and when it’s swimming down. But to my knowledge, those morphologies are not unique to bugs.
Q: Do you find them in rocks generally?
Amundsen: Not generally, but you find magnetites of all sorts of morphologies. I guess the basic point is that the McKay group had a set of observations that could be interpreted as biogenic in origin, but if you do your homework there are lots of different ways of interpreting those features. Like those carbonate spheres. If you deposit carbonate in still-standing water, it will form spheres. [7 Biggest Mysteries of Mars]
Q: In any environment?
Amundsen: It’s simply because the carbonate building blocks, they sort of migrate randomly in the liquid, and then suddenly one sticks. And once one has made a nucleus, the others will form on it and it will grow —it receives building blocks from around it and it just grows.
You know the gem called malachite? Malachite is an example of a very similar texture, where you have these cauliflower bulbous things. Malachite forms in the same way, in water with malachite building blocks, obviously, and it just nucleates and it forms a cauliflower accumulation, like the carbonates in the Allan Hills meteorite. Quite a few carbonates elsewhere form like that, from many different types of fluids.
Q: So could you describe the soils you were studying and how they formed?
Amundsen: They’re not really soils; it’s ice in rocks. In Svalbard, there were some volcanoes that erupted through a thick ice layer; it was maybe up to a kilometer thick. During that time it was extremely cold up there, more like Antarctica. So the volcanoes melted the ice and they became soaking wet.
At some stage you turn the heat off, the volcanic activity stops. And because it was still extremely cold, the wet volcanoes froze. By that time the glacial melt water that had been sitting in basalt acquired some of the magnesium and calcium from the basalt, and when it froze it had to get rid of its CO2 and calcium and magnesium and it made carbonates.
So it’s very similar to what happens with evaporites — you just keep removing water until your remaining fluid becomes so concentrated with whatever is left over that it starts to form minerals. And evaporation and freezing do pretty much the same thing — you simply remove H2O as vapor or ice.

Q: Was your study implying that Mars was never warm?
Amundsen: It doesn’t show that Mars was never warm, but it certainly indicates that you can make minerals like in the Allan Hills meteorite under low temperature conditions, possibly during freezing or close to zero degrees [Celsius]. A study published last year by a CalTech group found that the Allan Hills carbonates formed at about 20 degrees Celsius.
Q: Meaning they formed in that temperature.
Amundsen: Yeah. The Svalbard ones, we don’t know. But the oxygen isotopes suggests it was very cold. But we can’t tell if it was zero or minus 30, because we don’t know the exact composition of the waters.
If you have the water and the carbonate that formed, you can estimate the temperature. But we only have the carbonate; the water is gone. But the only other carbonates on Earth that look similar to the Svalbard ones have formed during freezing of water in caves.
There’s examples from Arctic Canada and from Poland where there are these very unusual, very light oxygen isotopes. And the whole setting of the Svalbard volcanoes — they probably erupted under extremely cold climatic conditions, melted the ice and then froze again. So you can’t use the Allan Hills carbonates to argue for anything warm. But it was certainly wet. [Photos: The Search for Water on Mars]
Q: Volcanoes are warm, but I guess they are hot spots in a cold place.
Amundsen: Yeah, there’s been volcanism on Mars throughout its history, of course. But as a surface condition, you get essentially the same carbonates and sulfates forming under permafrost conditions as you do under tropical conditions. They don’t look different.
Q: And there’s nothing about the heat caused by being blasted off the surface that had anything to do with that?
Amundsen: No, I think there could be. The Allan Hills meteorite likely witnessed several blasts nearby before it was kicked out itself. So you could have had warm events triggered by impacts.
So you warm the top layer of the crust, and what maybe was permafrost then melted and froze back again. And we don’t know how deep the Alan Hills meteorite originally came from. Most people are thinking of it as sitting on the surface, but it could have been hundreds of meters subsurface, and was excavated by the impact.
You know from the shocked minerals from the Allan Hills meteorite that there were impacts going on. The age of the Hills meteorite was at a time when there were lots of impacts. But you can’t preclude that there was lukewarm water drizzling down from above.
Q: It’s all very interesting how the questions on the meteorite structures still aren’t completely settled.
Amundsen: In science there’s always a debate going on, but with the search for life on Mars I think it’s important to be conservative. If you can explain your observations with purely physical, abiotic processes, then you can’t use it to argue that you have found life outside Earth.

Viva la difference
by mystery guest
by Jan Grape
As a female writing about a female character I feel it is all natural because I am a woman. I can put my head into the mind of a young woman or an older woman.
I also think I can write a fairly good representation of a male character. Mainly because I had two boys and I had a husband for almost 40 years who was a great teacher about men and how they think.
Of course, I'm not an expert because I have never been a man. I did mention good maybe not great.
However, through the years of reading I have run across writers who I think are able to write strong and excellent characters who happen to be of the opposite sex.
Susan Rogers Cooper has a male character, Milt Kovack, who is a sheriff. He is such a realistic male character that Susan has even relieved a fan letter chiding her for publishing under a woman's name. The fan swore she had to be a man.
I have to agree in part because I know Susan is a woman, but she does write a very realistic male.
On the other side, John Lutz writes very realistic women characters. They are strong, independent and certainly never depend on a male to rescue them.
Robert B. Parker also wrote strong women. He often got into philosophical discussions with women leaving them surprised.
Best-selling author Michael Connelly has written a new book, THE LATE SHOW, featuring Detective Renee Ballard. This is a female character he fully intends to be a series character.
In the back of the book is an interview. The question is asked if he can describe Renee with one word. He has described Harry Bosch as "relentless." Michael says he knows a real-life homicide Detective Roberts that Renee is loosely based on and he would describe Roberts as "fierce," which is close to relentless.
A woman detective working in a job that is predominately male has to be better than her male co-workers in order to gain respect. She must be fierce.
I think this is true and yet to make a female character more realistic she should show a little vulnerability. Unless your plan is to have her be a bitch. Personally, I think Connelly has done a fine job with Detective Ballard.
Viva la difference.

Jan, sometimes it might not be easy to write a character of the opposite sex. But we have to put ourselves into their heads as best we can. And I guess we get there from observing people we know and try to get as much real as possible. Not always easy.

When I first started writing in the mid 1980s, I read a New Orleans mystery, THE KILLING CIRCLE by Chris Wiltz featuring private eye Neal Rafferty. I was a priavte eye at the time and knew this book was written by a local so I searched for Chris Wiltz the usual way, via driver's license, criminal history, records of the electric company, gas company, phone company. Zero. One afternoon, I went into a local bookstore, THE MAPLE STREET BOOKSHOP, and found a stack of THE KILLING CIRCLE autographed by the author. I immediatly asked the store owner if she knew how to get a hold of this guy Chis Wiltz and she said yes, "She's my best friend." Chris Wiltz was her maiden name.
Hard to fathom wrote THE KILLER CIRCLE. Neal Rafferty was such a cool guy, such a real man, talking like one, thought like one. I was wrong. Chris Wiltz and I became friends and she introduced me to George Alec Effinger and helped me with encouragement and guidance through my first book.
I've gotten questions about this myself pretty often since many of my protagonists are female—stories either told from their perspective in third-person or directly in first-person point of view. I think that Paul's right—our jobs as writers are to inhabit a whole range of other characters, understand them, bring them to life fully on the page. Observation, listening, attention to detail, these are all part of the process no matter the character's gender or race or ethnic background or socioeconomic class or....
I think of great male writers who wrote great female characters, beginning with Gustave Flaubert and Madame Bovary; Tolstoy and Anna Karenina; Anthony Trollope and almost every woman he ever wrote...
I also think of great female writers who wrote great male characters, including Jane Austen's Frank Churchill (one of the finest unreliable narrators in literature) and Rev. Elton (Emma is a wonderful book, FULL of unreliable narrators), Emily Bronte's Heathcliff, George Eliot's Mr. Casaubon (what a frightening portrayal of a man looking back at a life built on sand), Marilynne Robinson's John Ames in Gilead; and Anne Tyler's amazing characters...
I think writing the opposite sex is a matter of being alive and present to the opposite sex within you and without you. A lot of people are very, very, very good at it...
Steve Liskow said...
This is a dangerous blanket statement, but I think a lot of my female characters are more interesting than the men. That may because when I did theater, I worked with lots of very intelligent, creative, and assertive women as stage managers, designers, and actors. It was no secret that the two best producers associated with my home theater were women, too.
I don't know if that explains it, but my feeling is also that women tend to be more flexible, possibly because the role models when I was growing up encouraged that. We also know that the right-brain of females is more strongly developed, and that involves patterns and whole vision rather than sequential thought.
A thought-provoking post...
I heard one a-list writer say that women were better at writing male protagonists than the other way around, because we are immersed in a culture that shows the male gaze on television and film constantly. We've seen it since we were very young.
I've written 15 books, and I haven't attempted a male protagonist yet, although of course we write male secondary characters all the time. So far, I'm more interested in writing womens' stories, seen through a female lens. For instance, I wrote the Goddaughter series because I didn't seen any other takes on the mob that worked through the female members of the mob.
Thoughtful post!
Good responses all. One thing I failed to mention. We all write about murder but we've never killed anyone, right? Oh I guess if some of you guys who have been soldiers or cops might have killed someone...but not murder. Getting into a murder's head can be a bit scary. However, I will also say, any good writer can get into the head of male or female equally well. And I do know the folks of our group can do it quite well because they are all awesome writers.
Michael Bracken said...
I have written many stories with protagonists and secondary characters who do not share my gender, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity. One thing I learned early on about creating characters who are not like me is to concentrate on the things that make us similar rather than the things that make us different. Most of us want to love and be loved. Most us us want safety and security for ourselves and our loved ones. And so on. What differs is how we love and who we love, and what we need to feel safe and secure. Start from our similarities and build outward, rather than start from the outside (gender, skin, color, etc.) and build in.

Cavani’s Hattrick Demolished Juventus at San Paolo
by Guest Post on January 10, 2011
Dropping points in midweek against Inter Milan, Napoli get themselves back into second place in Serie A after demolishing another Scudetto candidate, Juventus, 3-0 at San Paolo with Edinson Cavani bagging a hat-trick.
This success proved how dangerous the Partenopei this season when they are playing at their own turf especially when facing the big teams as not many managed to survive the scare that the South based team provide in their own stadium.
Both teams comes into the game with negative results as just like Napoli, Juventus also got demolished in midweek when they were trashed 4-1 in Turin by Parma and had to lost some important players for this match. The absence of Felipe Melo and Fabio Quagliarella were pretty visible as the home team managed to take control of the game right from the kick off and create some chances before finally taking the lead in the 20th minute through Cavani’s free header from Maggio’s cross.
The goal stepped makes the game interesting as moments later, Juventus were more than close in getting the equalizer as they do managed to put the ball in Napoli’s net but new signing, Luca Toni, got his goal disallowed after the referee believes the former Genoa player fouled the home team’s keeper in the process. However, that decision is surely being regretted by the Bianconeri players as just a few minute after that disallowed goal, it was the Partenopei that successfully extended their lead through Cavani’s header once again.
After the first half action closed with the home team’s 2-0 lead, the second period started in almost the same fashion although Napoli set back a bit and opted to attack more from the counter using the spaces Juventus players left. The home team’s tactic turned out successful as Cavani completed his hat-trick in the game after scoring his third header goal in the match, this time from Marek Hamsik’s cross from the right side.
This victory puts Napoli back as Ac Milan’s current threat as they are only four points away from the current league leaders, that were held into an exceting 4-4 draw against Udinese earlier on. Meanwhile, the defeat brought Juve’s title challenge evaporated a bit as they have suddenly got two straight losses just right after the winter break after going undefeated for several matches right before the short break.

A tragedy of the commons in the household: Water use and intrahousehold externalities
Last registered on July 03, 2015

A household’s water usage has negative externalities on current and future users of the resource when water resources are scarce. If piped water is delivered by a water utility, this externality can be addressed by setting the price paid by each user equal to the marginal social cost. However, this is typically infeasible: the best the utility can do is set prices at the household level. If household members are not completely altruistic toward one another or if cooperation fails because of difficulties enforcing individual consumption levels, then individual behavior may only partially internalize the water price faced by the household. This set up motivates our primary research question: Are households with lower levels of cooperation less price sensitive in their water consumption? In other words, is there a tragedy of the commons inside of the household? We gather evidence on this question using a field experiment that varies household beliefs about water prices. In combination with water billing records and measures of intrahousehold cooperation, we test whether externalities within the household lead to lower price sensitivity.

The proposed research will take place in Livingstone, Zambia, a city of around 140,000 located near Victoria Falls. The research partner, the Southern Water and Sewerage Company (SWSC), serves around 16,000 residential customers with metered household water connections. Like many urban services around the world, water is billed on an increasing block tariff, with three price tiers (kinks at 6 and 20 cubic meters). Analysis of historical billing data shared by SWSC indicates that consumption spans all three price tiers and that consumption varies from month to month at the customer level. Customers receive monthly bills based on consumption on each of the tiers. Our pilot phase confirms that customers have a low level of awareness of their water price, their consumption and how their bill is calculated. This lack of awareness undermines the price incentive that the increasing tariff is intended to deliver. This lack of awareness also creates a research opportunity. Providing selected households with accurate information about their marginal prices serves as a shock to their price beliefs. Piloting of how to frame price information suggests that describing price as the cost of running the tap for a fixed period of time is most salient to households. Analysis will rely both on administrative records from SWSC and on original data collected through surveys conducted by IPA.
Study sample
We will study the water consumption of households in Livingstone, all of which have been on metered water accounts for at least one year, have a currently well-functioning meter and are cohabiting or married. Households will be selected using existing billing records and a pre-screening visit. Based on the pilots from June-September 2014, roughly 35% of the households visited for screening met these criteria and were eligible for inclusion in our sample. Among eligible households, the modal age group for husbands and wives in the pilot sample was 31-40 years; the modal educational attainment was some college (post-secondary diploma or certificate) for men and Grade 12 (secondary schooling) for women.
Data collection and price variation
A single survey visit will be used to collect household-specific information and to provide salient price information to a sub-sample of households. The data collection and interventions consists of five parts:
1) Beliefs about water prices: Both the male and female heads of household will be asked about their beliefs about water prices. They will be asked both to state the marginal price (described in terms of "running a tap for normal household use”) and their confidence around that estimate. We refined elicitation of price beliefs during piloting. SWSC measures water usage in cubic meters, which is a unit of measurement that is hard for most users to translate into regular usage decisions. We piloted a number of different ways to elicit price beliefs, before settling on a framing that was straightforward for respondents. We ask, “Suppose you wanted to save K. 10 on your monthly bill. Then by how many minutes would your household as a whole have to reduce the use of the tap each day? Think about running the tap at a normal pressure, as you would for typical daily activities.” While the correct answer for most households in the middle pricing tier is 13 minutes, the average belief from the pilots was about 23 minutes, with responses ranging from 2 minutes to 60 minutes.
2) Household survey: Male and female household heads will be interviewed together and separated for a subset of questions and incentivized games. Together, they will be asked a series of questions about household demographics, income and water usage. Questions about income and water consuming durables will help characterize one dimension of heterogeneity in price sensitivity across households. Separately, they will be asked about the water usage decisions of each member of the household including themselves. Comparing answers about own and other's water usage across spouses will reveal how well informed household members are about the usage decisions made by others. In addition to standard survey measures, the male and female household heads will be asked to play two simple incentivized games that will be used to measure cooperation within the household. A measure of altruism toward the environment will serve as a control. These measures will be used to characterize the second dimension of heterogeneity. The survey and incentivized games were refined during piloting. In a modified dictator game, played between spouses, 25% of the husbands and 15% of wives sent their full endowment to their spouse, knowing that it would be doubled if that game were selected for implementation. On average, husbands sent 65% of their endowment to their wives and wives sent 45% of their endowment to their husbands. Controlling for gender, we find that the share of the endowment sent to the spouse is strongly correlated with other measures of household coordination such as whether the respondent says they regularly make plans with their spouse and whether they find it difficult to hide income from their spouse.
3) Price information: Following completion of the household survey, respondents will be given information about the true price of water that they face. Using the average across recent months, individuals will be told their expected marginal price in the coming month, again using easy to understand language (“running the tap”). To ensure the salience of the intervention, households will also be provided with written materials describing their marginal water price. 25% of the survey sample will receive this price information intervention.
4) SWSC credibility: Based on our piloting of the price-information intervention, we found that people doubt the accuracy of their bills, and sometimes think that the water company charges them for more water than they actually use. This is partly justified, because their analog water meters are difficult to read. In addition, the combination of water outages due to infrastructure constraints and annual increases in water prices has led people to think poorly of the water company. People's skepticism about their billing and the potential to actually save money by lowering their water consumption would limit the effectiveness of our information intervention. To overcome this, we have added a second treatment wherein a subset of the households in the treatment and control groups for the information treatment receive additional information about the water company. Specifically, roughly 50% of the overall study sample will be informed that the water company is committed to honest billing practices, and that they try to make the water bills as accurate as possible by reading the meters monthly and using the meter readings to generate the bills. We explain that even during months where the meter is inaccessible or unreadable, the bill is based on an average of previous months' usage, and that future bills are adjusted for any over- or under- charges once they are able to get a reading again. This is information households may not have had previously, and could lead them to take the price information we provide more seriously.
5) Lottery: We are adding a third treatment based on the pilot exercise and due to the additional grant funding we received from the IGC, as well as from the Urban Services Initiative at J-PAL. The treatment is a raffle for successful water conservation outcomes by participating households. We will inform a randomly selected subset of the sample that lowering their monthly water usage will qualify them to participate in the raffle. These households will also be given the price information. Prizes of 300K (about 50USD) will be given to one in every twenty households that make the required reduction each month. The raffle provides households with a clear incentive to reduce water use and allows us to directly observe which households are successful at lowering consumption and which are not. For a third of the households told about the raffle; only the husband will be informed about the raffle; for the other third, only the wife will be informed; and for the rest of the households, both spouses will be informed. We will randomly assign whether the target respondent(s) in each household will be the husband, the wife, or both spouses. Households will be automatically entered in the raffle if they reduce their water usage during the following billing period to a specific target. The surveyors will also show them where on the bill they can find the water usage for that month, so that the respondents can keep track of their usage and know if they have met their target or not. Households can continue to try and qualify for the raffle in future months until we end the program. For the vast majority of households, we believe this will be an interesting challenge that will help them save money and better understand their water price and billing. It will also assist the research by helping us to understand the role of water costs in the amount the household consumes. For example, if the lottery is effective, we can conclude that water prices affect consumption decisions. If the effectiveness varies depending on whether the couple both learn about the lottery versus if one individual in the couple learns about the lottery, then we can conclude that the importance of price depends on who knows about it and who benefits from cutbacks.
Our primary outcome measure is water usage, as measured by the monthly bills generated by our project partner, Southern Water and Sewerage Company. These will be collected for all households in the study for up to one year after project implementation. The strongest effects are likely to be detected in the months immediately following implementation.
As described above, the experimental variation will be associated with the provision of accurate price information to a randomly selected subset of households.
Whether a household receives the information intervention will be determined randomly based on an initial screening visit. Randomization will balance the information treatment on pre-intervention bill records.
Randomization will be at the household level.
Approximately 600 households
Approximately 300 households per treatment arm
Assuming a sample size of 600 (with half the households in the treatment group and half in the control), α = 0.05 and power = 0.8, and given that we can explain roughly 60% of the variation in households’ water usage in any given year with the previous year’s usage, the estimated minimum detectable effect is 0.145 standard deviations.

Virgin Galactic's Record-Breaking SpaceShipTwo Test Flight Sets Stage for Passenger Trips By 2014

Virgin Galactic's private spaceship flew higher and faster than it ever had before on Thursday (Sept. 5), giving company officials confidence that the vehicle is on track to start carrying passengers on suborbital jaunts next year.
In its second-ever rocket-powered test flight, which took off Thursday morning from the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo reached a maximum altitude of 65,000 feet (19,800 meters) and a top speed of Mach 1.6, or 1.6 times the speed of sound (which is about 761 mph, or 1,225 km/h, at sea level).
The six-passenger space plane got up to 56,000 feet (17,000 m) and Mach 1.2 during its only previous powered flight, which occurred on April 29. SpaceShipTwo's engine burned for 16 seconds during that first test, compared to 20 seconds on Thursday, Virgin Galactic officials said. [See photos of SpaceShipTwo's 2nd rocket-powered test flight]
SpaceShipTwo also demonstrated its unique re-entry mechanism during Thursday's flight, rotating its wings and tail upward into a "feather" position that officials say will enable a slow and steady descent. The vehicle had done this previously on unpowered "glide flights" but never in concert with a rocket firing.
"Today, we expanded the SpaceShipTwo rocket-powered flight test envelope with a longer burn duration and robust testing of the feather mechanism, supersonic aerodynamics and wing lift structure," Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides said in a statement Thursday. "Each powered flight of SpaceShipTwo yields cumulative progress that builds the foundation for safe and exciting commercial spaceflights."
Those customer-carrying flights should begin next year, said Virgin Galactic founder Sir Richard Branson.
"We are on track for a 2014 start of commercial service," Branson said in a video released by Virgin Galactic after Thursday's flight. "I can't wait to get up there."

Branson may be speaking for himself as well as the company in that last statement, for he has said that he and his family will be on SpaceShipTwo's maiden commercial voyage.
SpaceShipTwo takes off from a runway and is carried aloft by a plane called WhiteKnightTwo, which drops the vehicle at an altitude of about 50,000 feet (15,000 m). The spaceship's rocket engine kicks on at that point, blasting the vehicle into suborbital space.
Passengers aboard SpaceShipTwo won't complete a full orbit of Earth, but they will get a few minutes of weightlessness and a view of our planet against the blackness of space, Virgin Galactic officials have said.
SpaceShipTwo was built by the aerospace firm Scaled Composites, which also constructed the vehicle's predecessor, SpaceShipOne. SpaceShipOne won the $10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004 after becoming the first private craft to fly people to space and back twice in the span of a week.

“Thou wilt go!” said Hester calmly, as he met her glance. “You will go!” said Hester calmly, as he looked her in the eyes.
The decision once made, a glow of strange enjoyment threw its flickering brightness over the trouble of his breast. It was the exhilarating effect—upon a prisoner just escaped from the dungeon of his own heart—of breathing the wild, free atmosphere of an unredeemed, unchristianized, lawless region. His spirit rose, as it were, with a bound, and attained a nearer prospect of the sky, than throughout all the misery which had kept him grovelling on the earth. Of a deeply religious temperament, there was inevitably a tinge of the devotional in his mood. Now that the decision was made, a strange glow of pleasure entered his heart. It was the thrill of breathing the wild, free air of a region without God or rules. He felt like a prisoner escaped from a dungeon. His spirit leaped up and came nearer to the sky than it had in all the years that his miserable guilt had kept him groveling on the earth. His temperament was deeply religious, and so there was an inevitable trace (but only a trace) of religious devotion in his mood.
“Do I feel joy again?” cried he, wondering at himself. “Methought the germ of it was dead in me! O Hester, thou art my better angel! I seem to have flung myself—sick, sin-stained, and sorrow-blackened—down upon these forest-leaves, and to have risen up all made anew, and with new powers to glorify Him that hath been merciful! This is already the better life! Why did we not find it sooner?” “Is this joy I feel once again?” he cried, amazed at himself. “I thought that there was no joy left in me! Oh, Hester, you are my better angel! I have thrown myself—sick, sinful, and miserable—down on these forest leaves, and I have been made new, with no powers to glorify God, who has been merciful! I have already reached a better life! Why didn’t we find it sooner?”
“Let us not look back,” answered Hester Prynne. “The past is gone! Wherefore should we linger upon it now? See! With this symbol, I undo it all, and make it as it had never been!” “Let’s not look back now,” answered Hester Prynne. “The past is gone! Why should we linger over it now? Look. With this symbol I undo everything and make it as though it had never been!”
So speaking, she undid the clasp that fastened the scarlet letter, and, taking it from her bosom, threw it to a distance among the withered leaves. The mystic token alighted on the hither verge of the stream. With a hand’s breadth farther flight it would have fallen into the water, and have given the little brook another woe to carry onward, besides the unintelligible tale which it still kept murmuring about. But there lay the embroidered letter, glittering like a lost jewel, which some ill-fated wanderer might pick up, and thenceforth be haunted by strange phantoms of guilt, sinkings of the heart, and unaccountable misfortune. Saying this, she undid the clasp that fastened the scarlet letter. Taking it from her breast, she threw it among the withered leaves. The mystic symbol landed on the near bank of the stream. Had it flown a little farther, it would have fallen into the water and given the little brook another woe to carry onward. But there lay the embroidered letter, glittering like a lost jewel for some cursed wanderer to pick up. That ill-fated person might then be haunted by strange, guilty spirits; sad emotions; and inexplicable misfortune.
The stigma gone, Hester heaved a long, deep sigh, in which the burden of shame and anguish departed from her spirit. O exquisite relief! She had not known the weight, until she felt the freedom! By another impulse, she took off the formal cap that confined her hair; and down it fell upon her shoulders, dark and rich, with at once a shadow and a light in its abundance, and imparting the charm of softness to her features. There played around her mouth, and beamed out of her eyes, a radiant and tender smile, that seemed gushing from the very heart of womanhood. A crimson flush was glowing on her cheek, that had been long so pale. Her sex, her youth, and the whole richness of her beauty, came back from what men call the irrevocable past, and clustered themselves, with her maiden hope, and a happiness before unknown, within the magic circle of this hour. And, as if the gloom of the earth and sky had been but the effluence of these two mortal hearts, it vanished with their sorrow. All at once, as with a sudden smile of Heaven, forth burst the sunshine, pouring a very flood into the obscure forest, gladdening each green leaf, transmuting the yellow fallen ones to gold, and gleaming adown the gray trunks of the solemn trees. The objects that had made a shadow hitherto, embodied the brightness now. The course of the little brook might be traced by its merry gleam afar into the wood’s heart of mystery, which had become a mystery of joy. With the symbol gone, Hester heaved a long, deep sigh. The burden of shame and anguish left her spirit. What a relief! She had not known the weight she carried until she felt herself free of it! With another whim, she took off the formal cap that had hidden her hair. Dark and rich, it fell down upon her shoulders, full of shadows and of light. A smile beamed out of her eyes, tender and radiant, which seemed to gush forth from the very heart of womanhood. A crimson blush glowed on her cheek, which had been pale for so long. Her sex, her youth, and the richness of her beauty came back from what men call the irretrievable past. Together with hope and a happiness she had never known, they gathered within the magic circle of this hour. The gloom of the earth and sky vanished with their sorrow, as though it had flowed from these two human hearts. All at once, as when Heaven smiles suddenly, the sunshine burst forth. It flooded into the dark forest, gladdening every green leaf, turning the fallen yellow ones into gold, and gleaming down the gray trunks of the solemn trees. The objects that had cast a shadow before now embodied the brightness. The course of the little brook could be traced by its merry gleam far into the heart of the forest’s mystery, which was now a mystery of joy.
Such was the sympathy of Nature—that wild, heathen Nature of the forest, never subjugated by human law, nor illumined by higher truth—with the bliss of these two spirits! Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create a sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world. Had the forest still kept its gloom, it would have been bright in Hester’s eyes, and bright in Arthur Dimmesdale’s! Nature itself—the wild, godless Nature of the forest, free from human law and ignorant of higher truth—acted in sympathy with the bliss of these two spirits! Love, whether newly born or awakened from a long slumber, always creates sunshine. It fills the heart so full of brightness that it spills over into the outside world. Even if the forest had remained gloomy, it would have seemed bright to Hester and Arthur Dimmesdale!
Hester looked at him with the thrill of another joy. “Thou must know Pearl!” said she. “Our little Pearl! Thou hast seen her,—yes, I know it!—but thou wilt see her now with other eyes. She is a strange child! I hardly comprehend her! But thou wilt love her dearly, as I do, and wilt advise me how to deal with her.” Hester looked at him with a thrill of another joy. “You must meet Pearl!” she said. “Our little Pearl! You have seen her—I know that—but now you will see her with other eyes. She is a strange child! I barely understand her! But you will love her dearly, as I do, and you’ll tell me how to deal with her!”
“Dost thou think the child will be glad to know me?” asked the minister, somewhat uneasily. “I have long shrunk from children, because they often show a distrust,—a backwardness to be familiar with me. I have even been afraid of little Pearl!” “Do you think she will be glad to meet me?” asked the minister, somewhat uneasily. “I usually avoid children because they seem not to trust me. I have even been afraid of little Pearl!”
