'Folkways: The Original Vision — Songs of Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly'
By Thomas Conner
© Chicago Sun-Times
Woody Guthrie & Lead Belly
"Folkways: The Original Vision — Songs of Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly"
(Smithsonian Folkways)
In several years of studying the life and legacy of American folk troubadour Woody Guthrie, I've learned one nearly constant truth: Hardly anyone first hears Woody from Woody. They hear his songs performed by Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, Wilco, etc. — and then they go hunting the Guthrie greatest-hits for a taste of the headwaters.
Same with Lead Belly, a Guthrie peer who also suffers from lack of name recognition despite the number of artists who have reinterpreted his music. That's why this expanded reissue of this 17-year old collection of both folk songwriters' "hits" is refreshing at this juncture. Not only has Guthrie's cachet increased in the last decade (the founding of the Woody Guthrie Archives, the annual hootenanny of the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, etc.) but the six extra songs added to this edition remind us of the solidity of Lead Belly's influence of blues and rock, as well. New to this set is his "Gallis Pole," made famous by Led Zeppelin, and "In the Pines," covered by Nirvana.
The punk, the blues, some of the rock and a lot of the country out there today — much of it started with these two brave friends. The history is always worth hearing. And wouldn't it be cool to have some scratchy old 78s on your iPod?
Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, 'Exploration'
Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion
"Exploration"
(New West)
★★★1/2
Is Lucinda Williams a tad too Texas for you? Do you quickly weary of Gillian Welch's dour, morphine-soaked songbook? Has Natalie Merchant gone a bit too far "out there" for your taste? Bring it on home with Sarah Lee Guthrie and her husband, Johnny Irion. On their latest and best collaboration, the duo sews up pop, protest, folk and fun into neat little packages that are AAA — Americana, alt-country, aw-shucks — without suffering authenticity or intellect.
With this couple's pedigree, there's no need for posing: Sarah Lee is the granddaughter of Woody Guthrie (by way of daddy Arlo); Irion counts John Steinbeck among his ancestors. You couldn't arrange a more dynastic pairing than that, and you could almost forgive someone with those bloodlines for resting on laurels. Both of these singer-songwriters, however, have shown dogged determination to craft their own identifiable personalities. Together they are an arresting harmony — sometimes delicate, sometimes raucous, always purposeful and focused.
On "Exploration" (deftly produced by Jayhawk Gary Louris), Sarah Lee effortlessly saunters through songs of love, personal convictions and reverence for nature. She harmonizes with a knowing lilt through Irion's golly-gee love ballad "In Lieu of Flowers" and warbles defiantly through her own well-armed "Cease Fire." Her voice is strong and piercing without being harsh, as if she were Victoria Williams reined-in and trained. She has the urge to ramble and take it easy ("Mornin's Over," "Holdin' Back"); Irion has the urge to cut loose and rock ("Gervais"). When they come together on a cover of Pete Seeger's "Dr. King," they make a serious subject even more profound by making it a knee-slapper.
It's a wonderful mixture of social awareness and rollicking fun — tailor-made for a "Sesame Street" appearance (Woody would be so proud) and indicative of their combustible chemistry together. Proof that the occasional alt-country combo can "keep it real," too.
These online "clips" reproduce a self-selection of my journalism (music etc) during the last 20+ years. It's a lotta stuff, but it only scratches the surface. I do not currently possess the time or resources to digitize the whole body of work. These posts are simply a bunch of pretty great days at the office.
(Caveat: I didn't write the headlines, and formatting varies wildly.)

The best things to do in Miami this weekend: Nov 10–12
Virginia Gil
Posted: Friday November 10 2017, 12:32 PM
Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice’s biomusical about Argentine actor and First Lady Eva Duarte de Perón is rich with soaring chorales, Latin pop rhythms and atmospheric jazz.
Vienna design studio Seite Zwei decorates Wolfsonian-FIU’s lobby and exterior with bold typefaces and layered designs that express the duality of graphic design—which at once establishes the creator’s creativity and the brand’s identity. The installation takes its inspiration from works by 20th-century graphic design pioneer Julius Klinger, employing his signature printing techniques. “Double Vision” is presented alongside “Julius Klinger: Posters for a Modern Age.”
"Sheltering Survivors"
This interactive exhibit explores the international refugee crisis, taking visitors through replicas of real-life shelters and exposing them to photographs and listening stations that capture the immigrant plight (according to the United Nations, 65.6 million people worldwide were displaced in 2016).

Stop by the eighth annual event for demos, seminars and samplings meant to educate the uninitiated in the ways of true wine connoisseurs. 255 Alhambra Plaza, Coral Gables.
Free Family Fun Day at HistoryMiami

Good Witch Season 6 Episode 5 Spoilers
The upcoming episode is titled ‘The Mandala.’
In the episode, Cassie might think about a temporary career shift by opting for a professorship in art history. Considering her knowledge of the subject matter, it might not be a bad option after all. Sam, on the other hand, will begin the process of determining the cause of the tingling sensation in Adam’s arm. Once he is done with the diagnosis, Sam might proceed with the surgery needed to get Adam’s health back to normal. Being the supportive wife that she is, Cassie might assure Sam that he is doing the best he can, and Adam is lucky to have him as his doctor.
Meanwhile, Abigail and Donovan might conclude that the missing piece of diamond from the treasure can help them break free from the Merriwick curse. There is a possibility that Joy might extend a hand to her cousin in her mission. Martha might get super excited about the fact that her son, Dylan, daughter-in-law Clare and granddaughter are coming over to live with Martha and Tom for a while. As Dylan might head off to a 2-day business trip to Chicago, it will be interesting to see how Clare and Martha get along. Also, we know Carter has a girlfriend, but for how long? I mean, there clearly seems to be some chemistry beneath Carter and Joy’s love-hate relationship.

The Waste Land and Other Poems
“April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”
Perhaps because T. S. Eliot (1888 – 1965), like myself, was a transplant from the American Midwest to England—or perhaps because my closest friend long ago used to recite “The Waste Land” with such unveiled urgency it felt wrong to admit I didn’t understand it, or perhaps because every time we pass into April I feel swollen with emptiness—T. S. Eliot and his wasted lands have been an opaque companion these many Aprils.
(And, with the climate crisis, Eliot’s imagery flashes across my internal brow like a viewfinder.)
When I dug into Stephen Fry’s indispensable guide to poetry, I used it in conjunction with “The Waste Land.” Sleeves rolled up.
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say; or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief.
from “The Waste Land”
Neither Eliot nor “The Waste Land” (he was very particular it should be two words) are to be entered lightly.
Eliot combined classic drama, poetic references, Grail lore, and both Buddhist and Hindu texts to form this stupendous piece of five sections.
1.The Faber & Faber publication I used includes indispensable notes on the text. For example, these superb lines from the section “What Thunder Said”:
“Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together,
But when I look ahead up the white road.
There is always another one walking beside you.”
In the notes, Eliot writes: “The lines were stimulated by the account of one of the Antarctic expeditions (I forget which, but I think one of Shackleton’s): it was related that the party of explorers, at the extremity of their strength, had the constant delusion that there was one more member than could actually be counted.”
Shackleton is one of my heroes, and I love knowing his presence—even small—in this great poem.
The Faber & Faber edition also includes other poems written both before and after “The Waste Land,” poems not addressed here.
Eliot was a publisher at Faber for more than 40 years, finding and nurturing talents like Yorkshire poet Ted Hughes.
I’m indebted to Faber for many of my editions (I buy all my books—they just print them) and because they produced the wonderful Robert McCrum, longtime editor, biographer of Wodehouse and steadfast contemplative of our death awareness.1
Eliot glorified erudition to the point of inscrutability. He introduces the poem with a few lines in Latin, Greek, Italian, and English.
2.Eliot dedicated the collection to American poet Ezra Pound, who was also writing in London. Although poor himself, Pound organized a fund, “Bel Espirit,” to assist Eliot financially.
According to Ernest Hemingway, who was asked by Pound to contribute, “[t]he idea of Bel Espirit was that we all contribute a part of whatever we earned to provide a fund to get Mr Eliot out of the bank so he would have money to write poetry.”
According to Ernest Hemingway’s memoirs, Pound also reviewed manuscripts of “The Waste Land,” the publication and highly well-received reception of which obviated the need for the fund.2
Death Valley, California. The hottest temperature on Earth, 134F, was recorded here in 1913. I took these photos years ago but immediately fetched them for the post: “Here is no water only rock.” Photograph by Ellen Vrana.
Eliot’s most common imagery—and from which the poem draws its true strength—is nature. Nature empty of human presence or comfort. Nature existing in the most unimaginable form, knowable but vile.
The river’s tent is broken: the last fingers of the leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are
departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Despite its uneasy depth and slowly unfolding brilliance, of all 20th-century poetry, “The Waste Land” persists monumentally above almost all others and was part of the canon that won Eliot the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.
Legendary movie critic Roger Ebert once wrote that when he couldn’t grasp a movie intellectually, he approached it emotionally. How did it made him feel.
3.I believe there is knowledge in feeling and power in wonder. I recommend Rachel Carson’s The Sense of Wonder about opening our mind to knowledge and feeling obtained through senses and Richard Feynman’s The Pleasure of Finding Things Out on how wonder of knowledge leads to more knowledge.3
Irish painter Francis Bacon echoes Ebert’s sentiment: “Yeats is probably a greater poet than Eliot but in the end, I prefer that whole atmosphere of Eliot… I love the feeling you get in ‘The Waste Land.’”
Indeed. Desolation.
Death Valley, California. In order to store what water there is, these plants have assumed an insect-like dendrite form, compounding the creepy vignette. Photograph by Ellen Vrana.
Tapping into one’s fears is key to Eliot, to “The Waste Land.” There is no mistaking the barrenness of the place and the dry, stale wind that crawls over you as you read. An existential non-existence. The kind that eclipsed Susan Sontag when she was dying and engaged Hermann Hesse his entire life.
Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand
If there were only water amongst the rock
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit
There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain.
A very interesting comparison to Eliot’s modern piece are the poems of Wilfred Owen. Owen was a contemporary of Eliot (though not in the same circles) who fought and died for Britain in WWI. Owen was also one of the first poets to write war poetry that portrayed the horrific realities of war and our loss of humanity when we shrug at death. Not dissimilar topics to Eliot, and yet, when compared, Owen’s verse is full of passion and emotion while “The Waste Land” is just deadened.
In this decayed hole among the mountains
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing
Over the tumbled graves, about the chapel
there is the empty chapel, only the wind’s home
It has no windows, and the door swings,
Dry bones can harm no one.
Only a cock stood on the rooftree
Co co rico co co rico
In a flash of lightning. Then a damp gust
Bringing rain
Decay is an oft-used image in Eliot’s poetry because it evokes our own fears of death and non-being. As a publisher, Eliot nurtured many writers and talents throughout his career. One of his brightest is Marianne Moore, a poet of precision and imagination who, in the erudite fashion of Eliot, combined worldwide influences to create perilous imagery.
I confess to not understanding a great deal of “The Waste Land,” but the older I become, the more this poem resonates. I think we all have buried awarenesses that move through us like waves. The swells rise and fall and occasionally spit drops into our consciousness, but they usually die back and we remain as we are.
Poetry empowers those swells. It changes what we know. It, as Gaston Bachelard said so beautifully, “gives us back the situations of our dreams.” Or nightmares.

Fine Kettle of Fish Film Festival
Creative + Art Direction
The Two Headed Director
Audience + Festival Details
Festival Name + Theme
2008 marked the 10th anniversary of the world premier of the Coen Brothers film The Big Lebowski. In honor of this, this project was created.
The Coen Brothers are most known for utilizing film noir and other film styles of the 30s and 40s including screwball comedies. Their films often utilized exaggerated characters and vernacular and the use of dry humor is pervasive in most of their films. They utilize each of these devises to varying degrees and have no problem bending and even breaking the rules of particular film genres to make for more interesting storytelling. Again not following standard conventions, the film credits always come at the end of the film.
The Coen Brothers are known for unique dialogue in their films. Ranging from thin (No Country for Old Men, Fargo) to bizarrely long-winded (Raising Arizona, The Big Lewboski) the dialog is often filled with obvious satire and dry wit, befitting for there often larger-than-life characters.
The festival was designed to target a younger demographic, meaning 45 years of age and under. These were predominantly Coen Brother fans that are familiar with most, if not all of their films. This audience, has a keen interest in the arts and creative expression, and a bona fide interest in unique story telling. They are most likely to watch independent films before big box office movies but tend to make exceptions for the Brothers. These people are well-read and are on the constant search for distinctive experiences that they can share with their friends. This audience was thought to probably attend this festival with a group of friends who share the same aspirations.
FESTIVAL FILMOGRAPHY
The proposed films screened consisted of a familiar Coen Brother storyline of a character or characters digging their way out of a difficult or troublesome situation. They were screened in chronological order as follows: Millers Crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and No Country for Old Men.
FESTIVAL POSITIONING
This film festival was designed to be positioned as a truly curious cult event, and one that couldn’t be missed or otherwise you’d be on the outside of an inside joke. This audience will be eager to attend this festival, as this group is eager to be part of offbeat experiences. These people are film lovers and creative types, and are on the constant search for experiences that arouse, entice, and inspire their own personal creative endeavors. This festival was to be about providing a new lens from which to view this quirky, offbeat, and peculiar world.
The core theme of the festival was designed to play to a central theme in most Coen Brother movies—a cast of characters or character that finds them selves in a very difficult or tricky situation. The brothers often play on themes of nostalgia, exaggeration, dry humor, quirky and offbeat vernacular. Befittingly the name of the festival is an old idiom: “A Fine Kettle of Fish.”

Jump racing - End of season awards
Article 11th April 2019 Sandown Park
By Joe Napier
During Sandown Park’s annual Jumps season finale, the season’s top Jump jockey, conditional rider, trainer and owner have their achievements celebrated among a fine day’s racing. It is, to say the least a day of champions.
The Champion Jockey award has its inception back in 1900 when the prize went to whichever jockey had ridden the most winners throughout the calendar year. The induction of a seasonal format came about around 1925-1926. The nature of Jumps racing ensures that if a jockey reaches the top of their game, they regularly maintain that standing by receiving offers to ride the best horses even away from the yards they are most favoured by. As many as 14 riders have managed to win the title of Champion Jockey successively, though it is unlikely AP McCoy’s remarkable run of 20 straight titles from the 1995/6 Jump season through to 2014/15’s season will be matched for quite some time.

His retirement paved the way for Richard Johnson to win the previous three championships and he is well on the way to a fourth this season. However, the “new Richard Johnson” may also emerge from Sandown Park at bet365 Jump Finale.
A conditional jockey is one who remains around the start of their careers, having ridden fewer than 75 winners over obstacles. They can claim weight off their amount to gain an advantage which prepares them for turning professional (<20 wins = 7lb, <40 = 5lb, <75 = 3lb). Even if a jockey has ridden out their claim before the season ends, if they were a conditional jockey at the beginning of the season, they are considered for the title. Last season’s hero was James Bowen, with golden girl Bryony Frost who is currently in the running for this season’s title.
Racing fans will also be familiar with all the names heralded as Champion Trainer over the years, another title up for grabs at bet365 Jump Finale. Much like the top jockey award, many trainers have been able to win the award on multiple occasions with their impressive stables names. Martin Pipe lays claim to having won the award the most, with 15 titles returning to Pond House between 1989 and 2005. More recently it has been the domain of Paul Nicholls with Nicky Henderson breaking a 26-year losing streak in 2013 having last won the title back in 1987. He looks set for a third straight success this season as well.
Finally, to the powerhouses of racing ownership. Without owners, racing would gradually wind to a standstill. Their financing of the game is vital and the sport recognises their contribution as the season draws to a close. A certain Mr John P. McManus features unsurprisingly heavily on the honours lists and is soaring to yet another title this year.
Though your average man is unable to pick up this award without an equine superstar, their presence in the sport does not go unrewarded. Sandown’s finale is about celebrating the entirety of Jump racing and although the awards highlight a small few, every person who plays their part remains cherished.
Buy tickets for bet365 Jump Finale on the 27 April.

FA fails with attempt to change dates for Kieran Trippier’s suspension
Kieran Trippier file photo
The Football Association has failed in an attempt to revise the dates of Kieran Trippier’s suspension, meaning he could carry on playing for Atletico Madrid throughout his ban.
England defender Trippier was hit with the 10-week suspension last month after he was found guilty of breaching the FA’s betting rules.
The 30-year-old had advised a friend by text message to “lump on” his move to Madrid from Tottenham in 2019.
An independent Regulatory Commission has dismissed The FA's application to revise the effective dates of Kieran Trippier's 10-week suspension in relation to breaches of The FA’s Betting Rules. The written reasons for this decision are available here: https://t.co/rgkSTy8MFn.
— FA Spokesperson (@FAspokesperson) January 14, 2021
Trippier accepted the punishment but Atletico launched an appeal against the worldwide aspect of the sanction with FIFA, as the FA does not have jurisdiction in Spain.
FIFA, who had initially agreed to the global ban, subsequently lifted it while the appeal is heard.
Even if FIFA throws out the appeal Atletico are expected to take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which would no doubt mean a further delay.
Trippier is therefore free to play for the Spanish side and featured in their 2-0 win over Sevilla on Tuesday, thus currently rendering the FA’s sanction meaningless.

The FA wanted to revise the effective dates of the ban, which ends on February 28, but its own independent regulatory commission has dismissed the application.
That means Trippier will be able to play back on English soil when Atletico travel to Chelsea in the Champions League on March 17, as well as being available for England’s World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Albania later in the month.
The commission said that an extension to the ban “has the potential to cause significant stress and anxiety to Trippier”, while also “impeding his prospects of being transferred to an English club during the current transfer window”.

It added: “He was entitled to think until that these long drawn-out proceedings had been finalised and that as from the end of February 2021 he could begin a new chapter.”
The FA confirmed: “An independent regulatory commission has dismissed the Football Association’s application to revise the effective dates of Kieran Trippier’s 10-week suspension in relation to breaches of the FA’s betting rules.”
Trippier was suspended from all football-related activity for 10 weeks and fined £70,000 on December 23 after he was found guilty of four of the seven charges against him.

Venus of the Woods
By Fiona Stafford
Celebrating the history of the beloved ash tree.
Charles May, The Old Ash, photograph, 1863.
As a small child, my mother was taken to the Lake District, in the hope that she would have a better chance of survival under the shelter of the northwestern hills than at home on the flat, overexposed coast of Lincolnshire. It was early 1940. It would have been a grand adventure, were it not for the constant reminders that things were not as they should be. It was not just the absence of fathers, uncles, brothers, but the presence in the hotel grounds of oddly damaged things: a blind cat, a broken wheelbarrow, a man who had been at Dunkirk and did not seem quite like other grown-ups. What my mother remembers most vividly is a young woman, pale in face and dress, who spent her days sitting outside, staring up into the branches of the tall ash tree and drawing what she saw. When the sun came out, her pencil lines darkened, turning the tracery of tiny branches into black lace veils. She never spoke, but day after day she looked up and re-created the impossible patterns on her large, flat sheets of paper. What did the ash tree mean to that unknown woman? Or to my mother, in whose agitated, impressionable mind it took root and has remained ever since?
The ash tree is known as the Venus of the woods, and it seems to stir powerful feelings in those who gaze on its graceful form. Whether it is standing in spacious parkland or in an unkempt, November hedge, or rising naked from a sea of bluebells, the ash’s curvy limbs taper to an end with tips pointing to the heavens. A young ash is often like a half-open peacock’s tail, not quite ready to display its beauties; the branches of a mature ash, once fully fanned out, will slope down toward the earth, before sweeping up again, as if to send the buds flying. Through the summer the boughs cascade in all directions, wave-shaped and covered in green sprays. There are no angles on a young ash tree—everything is rounded and covered in fluttering foliage, soft as the feathers in a boa or the fur of a chinchilla. The boughs gain a few inches and furrow with the passing years, but with maturity come striking attitudes. In winter their silhouettes stencil clear skies like a row of unframed stained glass windows. The ebullient black buds stand proud, as if impatient for the spring, but in fact the ash is usually the last to come into leaf and the first to shed its seasonal foliage. The uncovered form of the ash, though, is just as compelling as the full-dress splendor of more eye-catching trees.
The grace of the ash tree has always appealed to artists. John Constable immortalized the trees around his home at Dedham in Essex. In paintings such as The Cornfield and Flatford Mill, ashes are predominant in the foreground, their feathery leaves highlighted by tiny brushstrokes. According to his close friend and biographer C. R. Leslie, Constable would gaze on almost any tree “with an ecstasy of delight,” but his real favorite was the ash. Leslie recalls Constable’s profound distress over the felling of an ash tree in Hampstead. The ash had inspired one of his most beautiful drawings, but Constable announced in a public lecture that “she died of a broken heart.” He pointed accusingly to a parish notice forbidding vagrancy that had been nailed unceremoniously to the trunk as the cause of his beloved ash’s death. “The tree seemed to have felt the disgrace,” he told his audience, for almost as soon as the notice went up, some of the top branches withered. Within a year or so, the entire tree had become paralyzed, and so this “beautiful creature was cut down to a stump, just high enough to hold the board.” Constable’s indignation over the fate of “this young lady” shows that his delicate drawing was not a mere nature study: it was an expression of love.
Those looking for love have traditionally found hope in the leaves of the ash. But though ash trees offer promises of future bliss, love is often mixed with less happy feelings. In his winter poem “Neutral Tones,” Thomas Hardy’s disappointment in love registers in the gray, fallen leaves of the ash tree that witnesses his last rendezvous. The lesson “that love deceives” is etched in the memory of “Your face, and the God-curst sun, and a tree, / And a pond edged with grayish leaves.” The ash tree also stands as a reminder of lost love in the well-known Welsh song “The Ash Grove”:
Down yonder green valley, where streamlets meander,
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander,
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove;
’Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart!
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.
There are various versions of the song, by different lyricists and artists, but each tells of love remembered and living only in memory. “The Ash Grove” is remembered, in turn, in a poem by Edward Thomas, one of the many casualties of World War I. Like Constable, Thomas’s favorite tree was the ash, which had taken such strong root in his mind that even when he found himself in the least promising circumstances, an encounter with ash trees was charged with restorative power. The poem begins with the melancholy sight of dead and dying trees, but, in spite of this, the poet recalls, “they welcomed me; I was glad without cause and delayed.” The trees are not those he knew before, but because they are also ashes, this grove, moribund though it may be, “can bring the same tranquility” as those of his past. Though hardly more alive than the dead trees, the poet experiences something of an epiphany as he wanders among the ashes:
I wander a ghost
With a ghostly gladness, as if I heard a girl sing
The song of the Ash Grove soft as love uncrossed,
And then in a crowd or in distance it were lost.
Everything is tentative and understated, but the faint stirrings gradually grow stronger, until the poem ends with a moment when the past, unwilling to die, floods the present with sudden light and an unprepossessing clump of stricken trees becomes magnified into something extraordinary. For an instant, love is no longer lost, but found, uncrossed, among the ashes.
The softness of the ash has always marked it out as a tree of comfort and healing. Wordsworth had fond memories of the mature ash at the cottage near Hawkshead where he was sent to live as a schoolboy, following the death of his parents. In The Prelude, he recalled how he had lain awake
on breezy nights, to watch
The moon in splendor couched among the leaves
Of a tall Ash, that near our Cottage stood,
And watched her with fixed eyes, while to and from
In the dark summit of the moving Tree
She rocked with every impulse of the wind.
Many turned to the healing ash for more practical remedies. Despite the ash tree’s serpentine branches, it was known to be the enemy of snakes. The roman natural history writer Pliny the Elder, observing the antipathy of snakes to these trees (so extreme that they would not even venture under their shadow), recommended ash leaves as an antidote to snakebites. He even conducted an experiment to prove the point, placing a viper beside a small fire within a ring of ash leaves and concluding that the snake would sooner run into the flames than into leaves of this kind. Nicholas Culpeper, many centuries later, endorsed Pliny’s advice on snakebites, but also recommended ash leaves for more common complaints, “to abate the greatness of those that are too gross or fat,” as well as for dropsy and gout. When infused into white wine, they became a treatment for jaundice or kidney stones. The bark of the tree, too, was used as a tonic for the liver and spleen or arthritis. Even warts could be cured by a pinprick, as long as the pin was then stuck into an ash tree.
Wherever people have lived and worked, the ash tree was a constant companion and helpmate. Its special place in men’s hearts rested not only on its physical beauty or medicinal value, but, as is so often the case, on its ready supply of very versatile timber. The ash tree is probably the most adaptable resource of all for those working with woods. Its toughness and peculiar elasticity mean that ash wood can be shaped into not only relatively straight and simple constructions such as sledges and skis, but also in to the least plantlike objects, including shepherd’s crooks, walking sticks, bentwood chairs, and even wagon wheels. The shapeliness of ash branches lent itself to such items, while the wood’s flexibility also allowed for steam treatments to accentuate the natural curves.
Unlike some old, deciduous forest trees, such as the oak, ashes are not renowned for their longevity, most surviving no longer than a couple hundred years. When regularly sliced in a coppice woodland, however, an ash tree will continue to send up tall, straight poles of living green, even when its heartwood has completely rotted away: at the Bradfield woods in Suffolk, the stools of coppiced ash, spreading from the ground like a great broom head, are thought to be a thousand years old. The ash’s abundant keys lead to such rapid propagation that there hardly seems a need to preserve the older trees, because there is always an abundance of ashlings. Since the ash is tolerant of almost any kind of soil, it springs up all over as one of the most familiar trees in Britain. Until now.
The news that Chalara fraxinea, the fungus that has proved fatal to so much of Europe’s ash population, is now making inroads into Britain is chilling indeed. “Ash dieback” has already devastated woodlands in Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and the Baltic states, and looks alarmingly set on sweeping through the British Isles. There is something deeply sinister about a mysterious fungus that singles out a particular species and kills off its young. In the last book he completed before his death in 2014, the veteran botanist Oliver Rackham cast a cool eye on the likely effects of ash dieback, observing that by the time people have noticed the presence of a deadly plant disease it is too late to take action: “the latest year in which to react to Chalara was 1995.” Defense against plant pathogens requires forward thinking, he argues, pointing out in a far from reassuring conclusion that the tardy response to Chalara probably did not matter much in any case, because a far more devastating thread was approaching in the shape of the emerald ash borer beetle. This bright green bark beetle, Agrilus planipennis, native to eastern Asia, has already destroyed ash woods across the United States and Siberia, so in the era of globalization, its arrival in Britain is almost unavoidable—unless, in an irony of natural history, the aftermath of Chalara provides a bleak cordon sanitaire.
Now that ash dieback has been identified and the dangers of the emerald ash borer recognized, we can still hope that the strenuous efforts to contain these threats will prove effective, that probably cases will be spotted and reported, that some of the resistant trees will survive and that, instead of a phoenix, the ash itself will rise again. For it is deeply distressing to be faced with the very real prospect of a future in which so many familiar wood-lined roads, green parks, and sheltered towns will be left, bereft and bare, while their once perennial companions are known only from paintings, poems, and old songs.

Nvidia GeForce Now games, price, features and specs
Ryan Jones Contact via Twitter | June 9, 2020 4:32 pm BST
Nvidia GeForce Now is a cloud-streaming services, similar to Google Stadia, which allows you to stream certain games to your low-powered devices via a strong internet connection.
This means you’ll be able to play the likes of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and The Witcher 3 on devices such as smartphones, Chromebooks and budget laptops, making AAA gaming more accessible with those without a PC or console.
The biggest difference that differentiates GeForce Now from Google Stadia is that it does not require a dedicated purchase to start streaming, allowing you to link up your Steam, Uplay and Epic Games Store libraries instead.
But while this may save money for gamers, it has also seemingly led to several high profile game publishers have pulling support, including Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, Xbox Game Studios and 2K. This means GeForce Now has a very limited library of compatible games, especially since Nvidia made a new “opt-in” policy.
Nvidia has at least promised new games will arrive on the service every week, and there’s still support from the likes of Ubisoft and Epic Games so not all is bad.
You won’t be able to subscribe to the paid-for Founders Membership right now though, as it has reached capacity. You can still sign up to the free tier that offers unlimited playtime though – you just won’t get some of the extra benefits of paying customers.
For more details on Nvidia GeForce Now, keep reading on below.
What is GeForce Now?
Nvidia GeForce Now removes the need for expensive PC and console hardware, by streaming the games you want to play, directly onto your device – no matter how wimpy its specs sheet is. All the heavy lifting is provided by Nvidia’s servers.
You will need a decent internet connection (at least 15 Mbps download speeds) to stream games via the cloud though, with superior bandwidth providing higher in-game frame rates. Nvidia also handles all updates, leaving the days of waiting for new patches to install a thing of the past.
You won’t be able to play every single PC game, but the library already boasts hundreds of titles and is continuously expanding.
In terms of performance, Nvidia GeForce now recently received another high-tech boost to its gaming offering. Now, the platform has DLSS 2.0 ray-tracing hardware support – that means smoother frame-rates and great graphical performance.
Hands on: Nvidia GeForce Now beta
GeForce Now Price – How much will GeForce Now cost?
There are two subscription tiers for GeForce Now.
Firstly, there’s the free subscription. Here you can play any supported games up to Full HD at 60fps. The most significant limitation here is that Nvidia will boot you off the server every hour. You have unlimited sessions though, so you can simply rejoin the queue and start playing again.
By paying £4.99 per month, you get access to the Founders subscription. This extends session times to six hours, while also giving subscribers priority in the queues, which should slash waiting times dramatically.
The Founders tier will also enable RTX features, including ray tracing, dramatically enhancing lighting effects for supported games.
Nvidia has clarified the £4.99/month price is a limited time offer, and will likely increase 12 months after the official launch.
GeForce Now Games – Which games are supported?
A key battleground for GeForce Now has been the platform’s relationship with developers. Last month, several huge game developers and publishers pulled their titles from the service. These include Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, EA, Square Enix, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios which means major game franchises such as Call of Duty, Halo, Skyrim and Overwatch will all be unavailable.
The likes of Ubisoft and Epic Games are still providing support though, so there’s still a decent list of games available. Here are some examples:
Assassin’s Creed II Deluxe Edition
Assassin’s Creed III Remastered
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
Hitman: Absolution
Worms Armageddon
Nvidia has said it’s looking to “re-enable” support for lots of games, while also confirming there are over 1500 games that developers have asked to be supported by the service. Their statement is a little reassuring, but the entire predicament is still very concerning for those subscribing to GeForce Now.
Nvidia has at least confirmed there will be new games added to the service on a weekly basis, with the most recent update seeing 19 new titles arrive including Darksiders II, Hitman: Blood Money and Worms Armageddon.
Related: Nvidia Shield TV 2019
What will GeForce Now work on?
GeForce Now will work on most devices with a screen, including Windows laptops, Macs, Chromebooks, Android smartphones and via the Nvidia Shield TV.
You essentially just need a device that can install the official app as well as a recommended internet connection of at least 15mb/s. Then you’ll need to bag your membership, pick an applicable game from your PC library and get playing.

Alan Guebert: Year of the farm bill
According to most Capitol Hill sources, the once-2012, then-2013 and now 2014 Farm Bill should clear its final hurdle before the end of January so Congress–after three years of ugly fighting–finally can approve a new farm law.
Passage brings no glory. Golly, Abraham Lincoln got himself elected president, raised an army, built a navy, turned the tide in the Civil War and passed the Emancipation Proclamation in less time than this Congress finally agreed on nothing more threatening than how to spend $100 billion a year for the next five years.
By any standard, that record holds more shame than achievement.
The failure to get a farm law before the old one expired in 2012 was tied to the presidential election that year. The rump caucus of House Republicans wanted to deny the Obama White House any legislative achievement to crow about during its reelection campaign.
And, it did. So a minority of the House majority sidetracked the Farm Bill and forced the nation to wait another year.
The 2013 fight centered on how deeply Congress would cut SNAP, the nation’s biggest food assistance program, that had ballooned from 28.2 million recipients and $34.6 billion in 2008 to 46.6 million recipients and $74.6 billion in 2012.
The Senate and House both agreed on multi-billion-dollar cuts to, in part, finance an expansion of farmer-favored crop insurance. The Senate thought $8 billion would do; the House wanted $40 billion and it voted to strip SNAP from the Farm Bill as proof of its seriousness.
Today, however, the about-to-be-approved 2014 bill not only folds SNAP back into the Farm Bill, the House’s deep, $40 billion cut itself was deeply cut to close to the Senate’s 2013 figure of less than $10 billion.
So what was that year really all about?
Was it an impressive show of muscle by the tea party wing of a split Republican House majority or was it a display of collective ag group weakness to stay out of the SNAP budget fight in order to finance fatter government insurance schemes?
Whatever the reason, most major farm and commodity organizations–excluding the National Farmers Union–stared at their belly buttons when asked to take a stand against House cuts to not feed Americans even as they continued to lobby hard for more government subsidies to “feed the world.”
In the end, the restoration of SNAP to the Farm Bill and the likelihood of just $9 billion in SNAP cuts shows more about the political reality of Farm Bills than the Congressional partisanship and farm group wimpmanship that goes into ‘em.
According to the Nov. 29 Wall Street Journal, (view the story at http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news/) seven of the top 10 states with the highest percentage of Food Stamp recipients (in descending order: Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama and West Virginia) “are some of the reddest states on the electoral map. Eleven of their 14 senators are Republican and their House delegations are all Republican…”
So, what was this years-long delay about if Barack Obama was easily reelected president and one out of five citizens in the most solidly Republican states “on the electoral map” are the biggest beneficiaries of SNAP?
Part of it, so the story goes, was the adamant opposition by House Speaker John Boehner to a proposed change in dairy policy he described as “Soviet-style” supply management.
But even that dog has fleas because the Speaker’s 2013 vote on that going-nowhere House Farm Bill, reported Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper, Jan. 9, “was the first such vote he’s taken on the issue since 1996.”
So why did it take so long?
The biggest reason is that Congress no longer resembles America. A mid-November Gallup poll found that only 9 percent of all Americans approved of “the way Congress did its job.”
Nine percent. What do those folks see that you and I don’t?

St. Boniface: Passion and History
St. Boniface is home to the largest francophone community in Western Canada. Visit this Winnipeg neighbourhood for history, architecture and culture. The neighbourhood was once its own city but was amalgamated into Winnipeg in 1972. Now it's linked to downtown and The Forks by the Esplanade Riel. So take a walk across the bridge and feel the passion for culture, food and art as you explore St. Boniface.
One of Winnipeg’s most striking views is the Cathédrale de Saint-Boniface. It is a blend of old and new as the modern church sits within the ruins of the earlier basilica, destroyed by fire in 1968. The cemetery is also the resting place of many historical figures who played key roles in the development of the province, including the famed Louis Riel.
Then visit Winnipeg’s oldest building, an oak-log structure originally used as the Grey Nuns’ Convent, and now home to the Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum. Inside, explore a collection of artifacts dedicated to Franco-Métis history, as well as a special exhibit dedicated to the ‘father of Manitoba’, Red River Resistance leader, Louis Riel.
St. Boniface is located on Treaty 1 territory.

Corporate spying alleged in suit
California company claims Lordstown Motors stole trade secrets
Ron Selak Jr.
rselak@tribtoday.com
LORDSTOWN — A Southern California-based maker of luxury electric cars is suing Lordstown Motors Corp., claiming the electric truck startup stole trade secrets in a “classic case of corporate espionage,” the lawsuit states.
Karma Automotive LLC claims in its lawsuit Lordstown Motors “brazenly stole” secrets about Karma’s infotainment system and plundered a specialized team of Karma employees who were designing it.
Lordstown Motors accomplished that by engaging in a “Trojan Horse” strategy, where it pretended to be engaged in a five-month due diligence period that culminated in a fraudulent partnership letter with a promise to pay, but pulled out of the “fake deal” at the last minute to create LMC Infotainment Group using Karma’s stolen trade secrets and confidential information, the lawsuit states.
“The courtship was a ruse; the check never arrived,” the lawsuit states. “Instead, LMC secretly poached and onboarded key Karma employees and started stealing Karma’s secrets.”
Lordstown Motors in court papers called Karma’s claims a “fictional tale” and “fantasy.”
The company states Karma omitted several key facts: Lordstown Motors cannot implement the allegedly private information into the infotainment system for its truck, the Endurance, because of hardware differences; former Karma employees chose to leave for Lordstown Motors because Karma was cutting back its engineering and manufacturing programs; Lordstown Motors did not buy the infotainment system because the cost was “far too high” and Karma’s former employees “have simply not used” Karma’s trade secret or confidential information in their work at Lordstown Motors.
A scheduling conference in the case filed in U.S. court in the Central District of California is set for Feb. 2, 2021.
Last week, the court denied Karma’s request for a temporary restraining order.
“We are pleased that the court denied Karma’s request for a temporary restraining order. As our response to Karma’s request made clear, Karma’s story is a fantasy,” according to a statement from the company. “Lordstown Motors is focused on building the safest, most cost-effective, zero-emission work trucks ever made, and we are proud to attract top engineering talent to join in our mission. We have no need or use for Karma’s purported trade secrets, and we are confident that our dealings with Karma complied with all relevant laws.”
The lawsuit names Lordstown Motors; its CEO, Steve Burns; John LaFleur, chief operating officer; Darren Post, chief engineer; Rich Schmidt, chief production officer; and former Karma employees now employed by Lordstown Motors, Roger J. Durre and George Huan. It seeks unspecified damages.
Karma claims the deal with Lordstown Motors would have meant more than $3 billion in revenue for the Orange County, Calif., company.
THE COMPLAINT
The complaint states the sides on Feb. 7 signed a mutual nondisclosure agreement that allowed the parties to exchange confidential and trade secret information as part of the exploration process toward Karma developing the infotainment system for the Endurance.
In April, Karma submitted a statement of work for the project and in June, Lordstown Motors selected Karma for the project; they signed a letter of intent June 11, the complaint states. On July 9, Lordstown Motors informed Karma they would be moving forward with the project and would issue payment, and on Aug. 6, Lordstown Motors terminated the letter of intent, the lawsuit states.
Karma claims Lordstown Motors began talking with Durre as early as April on a plan to transition his team to Lordstown Motors and on March 30, he began talks with a commercial real estate agent using his personal email account on his Karma computer about commercial office space. Those talks continued intermittently until Durre connected the agent with LaFleur in August to help Lordstown Motors find commercial space in Orange County, the lawsuit states.
On July 30, seven days before Lordstown Motors terminated the deal with Karma, the suit states Post, who previously worked as chief engineer / vice president of engineering at Karma, emailed Durre for help to quantify the cost savings that Lordstown Motors would have by hiring Durre and his team and moving with the infotainment system in-house without Karma.
The email, an exhibit to the lawsuit, shows Post estimated Lordstown Motors would save $4.6 million by hiring Durre and his team compared to Karma’s cost of $10.9 million.
The email “reflects clear evidence” of Lordstown Motors’ “intent to sabotage the deal with Karma, raid its workforce and misappropriate Karma’s trade secrets,” the lawsuit states.
Durre, the lawsuit states, was offered the director of software job at Lordstown Motors on Aug. 1 and put into the company’s payroll system on Aug. 3. He informed Karma of his intent to leave on Aug. 27 and left Sept. 1.
The lawsuit also states Durre downloaded at least seven of Karma’s files with trade secrets and confidential information and intentionally deleted thousands of Karma’s files.
COURT PAPERS
Durre, court papers show, stated he has not used any of Karma’s trade secrets or confidential information in his work at Lordstown Motors, and “I have not shared any such information with anyone at LMC.”
He said by the end of his time at Karma, it was cutting back its engineers and reorganizing. He said he no longer was involved with hardware and software development for infotainment or connected systems, “which is what I was brought to Karma to do,” but was leading electrical systems engineering.
Durre also said Lordstown Motors’ infotainment system does not use hardware or software in common with Karma, the document states.
Lordstown Motors also is being sued by Ann Arbor, Mich.-based DTE Lordstown LLC, which claims it is owed more than $2.5 million in unpaid bills for utility-related work at Lordstown Motors’ plant, the former General Motors assembly plant.
Most of the $2.5 million is a contract termination fee DTE Lordstown claims it is owed. Lordstown Motors claims it is paid up through when DTE Lordstown terminated the contract and DTE is not entitled to the termination fee.

Asia-Pacific countries begin to ease pandemic-related travel bans, but hurdles remain

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asia-Pacific countries including Singapore, Australia and Japan are gradually easing some international travel restrictions as coronavirus cases slow, in hopes of helping to revive their economies.
International travel in Asia has collapsed during the pandemic due to border closures, with passenger numbers down 97% in August, according to the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines.
Although European countries that had been more open add fresh travel restrictions as cases rise, in Asia the trend is toward easing, though not always on a bilateral basis.
For now, few people are likely to travel because of testing and insurance requirements, and in some cases the need to quarantine upon return home, meaning the deals offer limited hope for airlines and the tourism industry.
A Singapore-Indonesia deal announced on Monday for essential business and official travel will require an application and COVID-19 swab tests both before and after travel.
Singapore had established similar agreements with China, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and opened unilaterally to general visitors from New Zealand, Brunei, Vietnam and most of Australia.
But Singapore transport minister Ong Ye Kung said in parliament this month that the number of travellers remained small, with the country's main airport serving 1.5% of its usual passenger volume.
New Zealanders will be able to travel to some parts of Australia starting Friday without quarantining, including to New South Wales, Canberra and the Northern Territory.
However, New Zealanders who return from Australia must quarantine for two weeks under government supervision at the cost of NZ$3100 (£1,583) for the first person and more for additional family members.
New Zealand, due to hold an election on Oct. 17, has said it does not plan open its borders to Australians for now.
Australia is also in talks with Japan, South Korea, Singapore and South Pacific nations on reopening travel as coronavirus infections ease, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Sunday.
Japan and Vietnam will allow short-term business travel with each other, the Yomiuri daily said on Saturday.
The pact, which will take effect by the end of October at the earliest, follows similar steps to ease business travel restrictions to Singapore and South Korea, the paper added.
Japan is also planning to remove a ban on overseas travel to China and 11 other countries and regions including Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia next month, the Yomiuri said, though it would still advise against non-essential travel.
Asked about the report, immigration official Seiji Matano said that no decision had been made, but that the government would consider how to reopen traffic in a way that prevents infection.
Many of the countries to which Japan will reportedly allow travel ban most non-citizens and non-residents from entering.
Japan allows citizens, residents, and visa holders to reenter the country after testing negative for COVID-19 at the airport, with a capacity of about 10,000 per day.

The First Class VR
By Dan Siegel on December 14, 2017
Buy HTC Vive replacement memory foam! (vrcover.com)
Developer / Publisher – Light & Digital Technology / Zodiac Interactive
Price – US $6.99 / EU €6.99 / UK £5.49
Release Date – December 14th, 2017
Input – Tracked Motion Controllers
Play Area – Seated, Standing
Store – Steam
Reviewed on – HTC Vive
The First Class is a museum of the history of aviation. While this is purely a VR experience (not a game), half of it consists of a guided tour that has some interactivity. This experience is short and presented a bit strangely, but uses VR well to provide a breathtaking history of aircraft, in a way that grabs the viewers’ attention and keeps them interested until the very end.
The First Class starts out in a sci-fi space station, and transports you to a massive aircraft hangar. Here, the environment springs to life, transforming into different set-pieces, used to present a timeline of aviation history. The player gets a chance to see everything from the Wright Brothers’ flyer to SpaceX’s Falcon9. After completing the tour-driven experience, you’re placed into an actual museum gallery, in an open dreamscape. Here, you can observe all the aircraft at your own pace, each containing a widget that displays a short paragraph about its history.
These scenes make you feel like you were actually there, if only for a brief moment
Relevant innovations are presented intermittently, such as the onset of military applications for flight. These are split into different, contextualized environments, such as boarding a Blackhawk helicopter and flying through a cave filled specifically with space flight vehicles. One scene even depicts an astounding concept model for a future space elevator, while the player soars through the air using the wings of Icarus.
The interactivity used in The First Class feels cool, but a bit forced. Things such as wing-flapping flight don’t add much to the experience, and neither does having to wear a helmet in the helicopter, just to name two examples. You’re given a flashlight, but only to illuminate a cave which is otherwise unrealistically darkened. None of these really detract from The First Class, but were odd design choices that try and fail to make it feel less like an experience and more like a “game.”
The First Class runs well, with exceptional graphics and well-designed visuals, which is actually the experience’s best selling point. Namely, every aircraft is three-dimensionally sized to near-perfect scale of its real-world counterpart. In most games, this is an inevitable benefit to VR graphic design. In this experience, however, it serves as a breathtakingly immersive indication of how people actually felt being around these vehicles were in reality. I was shocked to see just how large the Hindenburg blimp was, and just how small SpaceX’s Falcon9 is. Seeing a futuristic, life-sized space elevator made my jaw drop. For this reason, The First Class yields an educational experience found in museums, and never in textbooks or videos.
The gallery gives an opportunity to revisit life-sized rockets at your own pace
This experience yields a 15-minute tour, and a gallery that takes about 15-20 minutes to fully check out. While 40 minutes is typically decent for a virtual museum, this works to The First Class’s detriment. The aforementioned interactivity sequences feel incredibly scripted, which removes a lot of replay value. When several achievements are rewarded for replaying the experience multiple times, lack of any replay value is a self-evident issue. While an open-ended gallery is included in The First Class, it still only takes a half-hour to see everything.
Another issue in The First Class is poor and awkward English translations. I understand it was made by a Chinese studio, and since I’m American, this is forgivable. However, many translations in the gallery are so grammatically flawed that they’re almost incomprehensible. I genuinely had a hard time learning facts because of their poor translation.
What would I pay for it? The First Class VR has breathtaking visuals and gives an interesting lesson, immersing the player in history like no experience before. However, it’s marred by numerous design flaws and short length. I’d pay five bucks for The First Class VR, but with an asking price of $7, it really depends on how interested you are. If it sounds appealing, you should absolutely give it a whirl.
Zodiac Interactive provided The VR Grid with a review code for this game and, regardless of this review, we thank them for that!

History of Tissot Watches
Tissot is a Swiss watch manufacturer of the Swatch Group and is located in Le Locle in the canton of Neuchatel. On July 1st, 1853, Charles-Félicien Tissot (a fitter of gold cases) along with his son Charles-Emile Tissot (a watchmaker) laid down its foundations. Tissot's previous timepieces mainly focussed on pocket watches, luxurious pendant watches or complication watches. At that time these were mainly destined for the United States and Russian markets. Later in 1883, the company was overtaken by his son, Charles Emile. And in 1915, being prompted by his son Paul, Charles Emile ventured into the business of wristwatch manufacturing. It was by 1920 that the company was successful in firmly footing itself in this new venture. And this marked the Tissot's entry in the market of wrist watches. In the 1980s and 1990s, it gained an outstanding popularity with its introduction series of fashionable wristwatches whose cases were made of unusual materials such as granite and wood.
It revolutionized the era of the late 1800s by hitting the market with its back to back innovations. It introduced the first mass-produced pocket watch as well as the first pocket watch with two time zones in 1853. Again in 1929–30 it introduced the first anti-magnetic watch.
Now came the time when the Tissot's were ready to hit the Russian markets as well. In a bid to accomplish this Charles-Emile Tissot left for Russia in 1858. Finally, his voyage proved to be a boon as he was successful in selling their Savon Nette pocket watches across the Russian Empire. Tissot has been a member of The Swatch Group Ltd. since 1983 which is the largest watch producer and distributor in the world. Until today, Le Locle, Switzerland remains to be a home for Tissot, preserving its Swissness at its heart. This is something that made the brand a distinguished one as compared to its other counterparts.
Throughout their history, Tissot has served as an official timing partner for a multitude of major sports including MotoGP, Ice Hockey, Cycling, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) the Fencing World Championships. And eventually, Tissot has been the Official Timekeeper meaning that Tissot has the privilege and the responsibility of actually timing each of these sports.
In 1999, Tissot released the world’s first touchscreen watch, the Tissot T Touch. The Tissot smartwatch containing this technology have touch-sensitive sapphire crystals to control various functions like compasses, barometer, altimeter, and thermometer.
The features specific to various sports are also available, like timers for racing splits, regattas, diving, and a tide indicator for sailing or surfing. Due to these Tissot sport specific customizations, a contestant from any sport can select a Tissot T Touch whichever is suitable to them. The latest models in the Tissot Touch series include The Tissot T Touch Expert Solar and T-Touch Lady Solar which holds 25 functions. With the Tissot T-Touch family extension, classically innovative pieces like the Tissot T-Complication Squelette, and classic dress watches like Tissot Le Locle Automatic, the future of Tissot looks very bright for many upcoming centuries.

Successful Content Creation: Lessons From adidas
A behind-the-scenes perspective on adidas' winning content strategy before, during and after the 2014 World Cup. Lisa Gevelber, vice president of marketing at Google, shares takeaways for brands looking to capitalise on the year's most important cultural moments.
The Super Bowl used to be a one-day thing. Like so many families in the US, mine would go to a party where everyone gathered around one television screen to watch the big game – an event punctuated by iconic beer commercials and homemade guacamole. It was a one-day thing for advertisers, too: one major television spot; one opportunity to connect with your audience. Simple.
But today's audience expects something different. They want to watch and share content around events like the Super Bowl for days and even weeks before and after the actual event. And digital delivers on their expectations. In fact, in the past three years, we've seen 14X growth in worldwide search interest on YouTube for Super Bowl commercials in the month of January. The internet has split big moments on big screens into hundreds of more intimate moments on more intimate devices. In response, successful marketers are expanding their digital efforts to create compelling content that cuts through the clutter before, during and after key events.
Today, we're taking a behind-the-scenes look at how one brand – adidas – created content around 2014's biggest sporting event – the World Cup – and how the company's learnings can be applied to this year's most significant cultural moments, such as the Super Bowl.
For the World Cup, adidas created a six-episode, live-streaming series called "The Dugout", plus real-time reaction videos. Its content featured everything from world-famous footballer Q&As to post-match recaps, earning adidas the title of fastest-growing sports brand on YouTube.
Get a first look at the adidas content engine, which has driven more than 15 million visits from YouTube to the brand's website:
The adidas story offers four key lessons for brands looking to create content that will engage their audience around the moments that they're most passionate about. Whether your brand is tackling a major event such as the Super Bowl or the World Cup, or looking to take ownership of more targeted moments in the 2015 calendar, these tactics will help you rise above the clutter and connect with your audience in the moments that matter.
Every good story has a beginning, middle and end
"Real-time marketing", or marketing during an event, is just one part of the adidas success story. The before and after are equally critical. Whether events span a day (like the Super Bowl) or a month (like the World Cup), they are some of the most crowded media moments of the year. Brands like adidas can use content before an event to grab the audience's attention. Afterwards, they can use it to follow up with their newly engaged audience and continue the conversation that they started during the event.
adidas kicked off its World Cup sponsorship months before the first match with the launch of its "all in or nothing" campaign on YouTube. It published a drumbeat of player- and product-related content leading up to the event, including four countdown videos in the 18-day break between the European World Championship and the World Cup. During the World Cup, adidas created a multi-episode series called "The Dugout", hosting Q&As and Google+ Hangouts with favourite footballers. It used footage it had gathered before the event to edit and launch reaction videos in real time, such as its video for "The Final", which has almost 19 million views. After the final match, adidas kept up its partnership with YouTube creators such as Layla Anna-Lee and stayed in touch with new and old fans through regular content updates.
Get the before, during and after story of "all in or nothing" directly from adidas:
Shape the content narrative with story-asking, not just storytelling
Actively inviting audiences to contribute can add relevance and authenticity to the stories brands tell. adidas designed its live-streaming episodes of "The Dugout" around audience participation, giving fans thousands of miles away an all-access pass to the World Cup. It crowd-sourced questions for Q&As and Google+ Hangouts with players and scanned YouTube comments and other social channels for trending topics to ensure that its videos addressed top-of-mind stories. By relying on fans to shape its content narratives, adidas guaranteed relevant, timely content that would rise above the clutter.
But adidas didn't stop at listening. In addition to tracking real-time conversations, community managers responded to fans in YouTube comments, on Twitter and more. They participated in conversations in both global and local markets, posting thousands of comments from the adidas handle in several languages and making their fans feel heard.
Learn more about how adidas used story-asking to shape its World Cup content:
Flip the production model from 80:20 to 20:80
One of the questions I hear most from marketers is, "How can I produce great content, faster?" The traditional marketing model was to invest 80% of the team's effort before launching, with 20% post-launch to optimise the campaign. But in an effort to be more nimble, marketers such as adidas have turned the traditional model on its head. They're spending 20% of their time upfront to inform big-picture creative and media decisions, reserving 80% to test and iterate in the moment.
The 20:80 model allowed adidas to take advantage of the world's best focus group: its real audience in real time. It didn't invest all of its resources in one World Cup ad produced months in advance. Instead, it took in audience feedback after posting each video and pivoted content accordingly. Its process of testing and iterating from one episode to the next helped adidas increase its views 7X from the first episode of "The Dugout" to the last.
See how adidas prepared its World Cup team to test and iterate in real time:
Lean on YouTube creators to warm up the crowd
YouTube creators are experts in making content that resonates with the YouTube audience. They know what tone to take, what topics their audiences want to discuss and the right moments to chime in; they do so with their own following every day.
adidas chose several hosts from KICKTV, one of the most popular soccer channels on YouTube, for "The Dugout". Not only are KICKTV hosts well-respected football enthusiasts, they also brought millions of engaged YouTube fans along with them. Their knowledge of the platform, the event and the audience, combined with their real-time video production experience, made them invaluable partners for adidas. Together, KICKTV and adidas nearly tripled subscriptions on the adidas YouTube channel during the World Cup. The content they created for the event earned over 1.5 billion impressions on YouTube.
Hear from KICKTV and adidas on how to effectively collaborate with creators:
Consumers are seeking richer, more personal experiences before, during and after their favourite events, and they're finding them online. Brands such as adidas are taking advantage of more time with their audiences, as are the brands that will stand out during this year's Super Bowl.
Tune in on Sunday and you'll see brands continuing stories already started online, inviting fans to keep the conversation going after the game. And with good reason: Ads released on YouTube before the Super Bowl in 2014 drove 2.5X more views on average than those released on game day. It's no surprise that people are calling it the "brand bowl" these days; branded content is quickly becoming the main event.

In Daring Operation, Police Storm Kaduna Forest, Kill 250 Terrorists
Bandits shoot at Police helicopter, injure pilots
Kingsley Nwezeh in Abuja
The Police High Command said Wednesday that special operatives backed by special forces and the police air wing stormed the largest operational camps of the Ansaru terrorist group which also housed other bandits and kidnappers located in Kuduru Forest, Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, killing 250 members of the group.
A statement issued last night said the operation was carried out by a combined forces of the Police following actionable intelligence at their disposal.
“The operation which commenced in the early hours of today, 5th February, 2020, was carried out by a combined team of operatives of Operation Puff Adder made up of the Police Mobile Force (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), Special Forces, Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Special Tactical Squad (STS) and Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
“The operation was necessitated by actionable intelligence linking terror and criminal elements in the super camp to series of terror-related violence, kidnappings, gun-running, cattle rustling and other heinous crimes across the country” it said.
The statement issued by Force PRO, Frank Mba, said the Police helicopter providing aerial support for the operatives came under attack from the bandits, who deployed anti-air craft rifles.
“Unfortunately, during the operation, a police bell helicopter, which provided aerial and intelligence cover for the ground troops came under attack from the bandits using sophisticated anti-aircraft rifles and General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG).
“Commendably, the pilot and the co-pilot who demonstrated uncommon courage and expertise, successfully landed the aircraft at the Air Force Base, Kaduna without further incident. They were thereafter evacuated for medical treatment”, he said, while noting that “both officers who sustained non-life threatening injuries are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition. The Police helicopter has since been flown out of the Kaduna Air Force Base by Police Pilots en-route to Abuja”.
The statement said the Inspector General of Police assured citizens of safety and sustained intelligence-led operations against bandits across the length and breadth of the nation.
“He has equally applauded the unparalleled bravery, commitment and dedication of the Police operatives currently conducting the special mission”, it said.

48V all-electric prototype systems
Valeo Group | 22 Jan, 2018 | 6 min
#FutureMobility
48V all-electric prototype systems: the future of electric mobility in cities
Valeo’s new low-voltage (48V) all-electric prototype has make its world début at CES 2018. As countries and major cites become more and more intent on reducing CO2 emissions, this system offers a new angle on the future shape of urban mobility.
The 48V all-electric tech demo was developed in partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
A smart solution, ideally suited to urban mobility
A unique low-voltage electric solution
More economical than existing high-voltage solutions
Top speed of 100 km/h and range of 100 km
The small two-seater electric tech demo car, which charges at any EV charging station, delivers a top speed of 100 km/h and offers a range of 100 km, is ideally suited to the short journeys and low speeds of urban driving.
The 48V all-electric car is also, and above all, more economical (by 20%) than a high-voltage all electric solution, largely because it can do without some of the components and systems that a high-voltage system is required to have for user safety reasons. Pricing for a small 48V all-electric car could be as low as 9 000 dollars (around 7,500 euros).
By making the all electric vehicle more affordable, this innovative solution could well lend further momentum to the electrification revolution.
To develop its innovative 48V all-electric drive solution, Valeo has built on its experience and expertise in 48V systems for hybrid applications, a field in which it leads the market.
World première at CES 2018 , this prototype marks something of a turning point for Valeo, because it is the first ever vehicle powered entirely (except for the battery) by Valeo systems. While Valeo had previously designed all the components needed for powertrain and drivetrain operation, it had never before designed the engine itself. So this car is actually Valeo?powered, a development that opens up a whole new area of business and some bright new prospects.

NASA Unveils Thrilling First Full Frame Images of Vesta from Dawn
NASA has just released the first full frame images of Vesta– and they are thrilling! The new images unveil Vesta as a real world with extraordinarily varied surface details and in crispy clear high resolution for the first time in human history.
Vesta appears totally alien and completely unique. “It is one of the last major uncharted worlds in our solar system,” says Dr. Marc Rayman, Dawn’s chief engineer and mission manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “Now that we are in orbit we can see that it’s a unique and fascinating place.”
“We have been calling Vesta the smallest terrestrial planet,” said Chris Russell, Dawn’s principal investigator at the UCLA. “The latest imagery provides much justification for our expectations. They show that a variety of processes were once at work on the surface of Vesta and provide extensive evidence for Vesta’s planetary aspirations.”

The newly published image (shown above) was taken at a distance of 3,200 miles (5,200 kilometers) by Dawn’s framing camera as the probe continues spiraling down to her initial science survey orbit of some 1,700 miles (2,700 km) altitude. The new images show the entire globe all the way since the giant asteroid turns on its axis once every five hours and 20 minutes.
Vesta and its new moon – Dawn – are approximately 114 million miles (184 million kilometers) distant away from Earth.
“The new observations of Vesta are an inspirational reminder of the wonders unveiled through ongoing exploration of our solar system,” said Jim Green, planetary division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
The Dark Side of Vesta Captured by Dawn

Dawn was launched atop a Delta II Heavy booster rocket in September 2007, took a gravity assist as it flew past Mars and has been thrusting with exotic ion propulsion for about 70 percent of the time ever since.
Dawn will spend 1 year collecting science data in orbit around Vesta before heading off to the Dwarf Planet Ceres.
The science team has just completed their press briefing. Watch for my more detailed report upcoming soon.
And don’t forget JUNO launches on Aug 5 – It’s an exciting week for NASA Space Science and I’ll be reporting on the Jupiter orbiter’s blastoff and more – as Opportunity closes in on Spirit Point !
NASA’s groundbreaking interplanetary science is all inter connected – because Vesta and Ceres failed to form into full-fledged planets thanks to the disruptive influence of Jupiter.

The UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura expressed deep concern over the situation of the civilian population in the town of Zabadani. Media sources and contacts inside Zabadani have reported heavy bombardment, including by barrel bombs, since Syrian Government forces backed by pro-government militias started a military campaign against opposition fighters located in Zabadani . Reliable local sources have in fact confirmed that a large number of barrel bombs have been dropped on the city causing unprecedented levels of destruction and many deaths among the civilian population.
Armed opposition forces known as the “Army of Conquest” have retaliated by firing rockets and heavy mortar shells on two villages near Idlib, Al Foua and Kefraya, where a substantial number of civilians are trapped.
In both cases, civilians are tragically caught in the middle of the fighting.
The Special Envoy calls on all parties to uphold the principle of the protection of civilians and once again on the Syrian government to halt the use of crude and indiscriminate weapons such as the barrel bombs on its own cities.
Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura visited Teheran today where he met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Mohammad Javad Zarif, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Arab-African Affairs, Mr. Hussein Amir Abdollahian.
During his meetings Mr. de Mistura underscored the urgency of a Syrian-led political solution to the conflict and exchanged views on how to proceed with a political process, with the support of the Security Council. The Special Envoy took good note of Minister Zarif’s and Deputy Minister Abdollahian’s analysis of the current situation in the region, and its impact on the conflict in Syria. He underscored the absence of a military solution to this conflict and recalled the imperative for all its parties to uphold the principle of the protection of civilians.
Mr. de Mistura’s consultations are part of a rolling process to seek views of all Syrian and relevant regional and international parties on the operationalization of the Geneva Communiqué. In this context, Mr. de Mistura continues to meet separately with regional stakeholders and members of the Security Council. The Special Envoy is working to finalize his proposals to the Secretary-General on a way forward to support Syrian parties in their search of a political solution to the conflict, in preparation for a briefing to the Security Council.
زار المبعوث الخاص إلى سوريا ستيفان دي مستورا طهران اليوم حيث التقى مع وزير الشؤون الخارجية، السيد محمد جواد ظريف، ونائب وزير الشؤون الخارجية للشؤون الافريقية العربية، والسيد حسين أمير عبد اللهيان.
وشدد السيد دي مستورا خلال لقاءاته على الحاجة الملحة لإيجاد حل سياسي للصراع بقيادة سورية وتبادل وجهات النظر حول كيفية المضي قدما في العملية السياسية، بدعم من مجلس الأمن. كما أخذ المبعوث الخاص علماً وثيقاً بوجهات نظر الوزير ظريف ونائب الوزير عبد اللهيان في ما يخصّ الوضع الحالي في المنطقة، وتأثيره على الصراع في سوريا. وشدد على عدم وجود حل عسكري لهذا الصراع، وأشار إلى ضرورة تمسّك جميع الأطراف بمبدأ حماية المدنيين.
تشكّل مشاورات السيد دي مستورا جزءاً من عملية متواصلة للحصول على آراء جميع الأطراف السورية الإقليمية والدولية ذات الصلة من أجل تفعيل بيان جنيف. في هذا السياق، يواصل السيد دي مستورا الاجتماع بشكل منفصل مع الجهات المعنية السوريّة والإقليمية والدوليّة، كما مع أعضاء مجلس الأمن. ويعمل المبعوث الخاص على وضع اللمسات الأخيرة على المقترحات التي سيقدّمها إلى الأمين العام حول كيفيّة دعم الأطراف السورية في بحثهم عن حل سياسي للنزاع، وذلك استعدادا لإحاطة مجلس الأمن.
In the framework of the Geneva Consultations, the United Nations Special Envoy for Syria, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, met today with Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East and Supreme Head of the Universal Syrian Orthodox Church, who presented his views about the peaceful future of Syria and its various communities.
“It is very important that the voices of the religious leaders and their communities be heard and taken into account as we search for peace in Syria. Their representatives have an essential to role play in promoting peacemaking and reconciliation in the Syria of tomorrow", Mr de Mistura said after the meeting.

Local Officials, Police Chiefs Speak Out Following George Floyd’s Death
Catherine Douglas Moran June 2, 2020 at 10:30am
Fairfax County’s top official, local police chiefs and elected officials for the City of Falls Church are stressing the importance of equity and justice as nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd continue.
A viral video captured Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes. Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
In a newsletter to constituents, Jeff McKay, the chairman of the Board of Supervisors, stressed the county’s focus on equity with the One Fairfax policy, saying that he will soon announce ” a blueprint to double down on our commitments.”
“Angry and Disgusted”
McKay also addressed the recent protests in D.C. after reports on Monday of police using tear gas and rubber bullets to dispel protesters from the area around a church where President Donald Trump then posed for a photo.
“I’m angry and disgusted that today, for the third time in as many days, we saw peaceful protestors tear-gassed and shot with pellet guns as they chanted for peace and change,” McKay said.
McKay’s full statement:
To the Fairfax County Community,
Over the weekend, millions marched the streets across the United States mourning the death of George Floyd and rightfully protesting the injustices and systemic racism experienced by generations of African American men and women in this country.
I’m angry and disgusted that today, for the third time in as many days, we saw peaceful protestors tear gassed and shot with pellet guns as they chanted for peace and change. Simultaneously, COVID-19 continues to showcase and exacerbate the disparities that exist in our most vulnerable communities.
Now more than ever, we know it is the role of our local government to achieve true structural change in our communities. We in Fairfax County must honestly ask ourselves, what actions are we taking?; what voices are we lifting up?; and for me as your Chairman, are our policies affecting systemic change in our community?
We are lucky to live in Fairfax County. Our Government has a team of employees who dedicate themselves to making us better every day. Our residents are diverse and challenge us to do more. Each member of the Board of Supervisors believes that we can always improve.
It is our commitment to our diversity that created our One Fairfax policy, which makes equity a requirement and recognizes that disparity is a fact. The Board of Supervisors and School Board adopted it to ensure that it is intentionally applied to all the work we do – not just reflected on when we are in crisis. In the coming days, I will announce a blueprint to double down on our commitments.
We have work to be done. In the days, weeks, and months ahead of us, we will continue to listen, encourage healthy dialogues, and have the courage to fight for what’s right.
“Undo Culture of Racism”
Falls Church’s City Council and City Manager Wyatt Shields released a joint statement, saying that they “re-affirm our values of fairness and equal opportunity for all.”
“Mr. Floyd’s death lays bare once again, a long troubling truth that minorities in this country disproportionately experience violent and fatal encounters with police,” the statement said. “It is a truth we all must confront.”
They said they are committed to working to “undo the culture of racism,” along with promoting justice and peace. The statement did not elaborate on how the city officials plan to tackle it.
Local Law Enforcement Weigh In
Local law enforcement heads have recently talked about the role communities play in shaping police departments.
A letter to the community from Falls Church Police Chief Mary Gavin stressed that community trust is the most “sacred” part of police work.
Gavin then shared how the city’s police department strives to reinforce equality: taking the words “citizen” and “resident” out of policies, focusing on diverse hiring and striving for inclusiveness with their practices. She also called for a structural change that goes beyond firing “bad actors.”
“When public servants fail us by abusing the authority invested in them by the community they have sworn to protect and serve, it destroys trust and partnerships, the fabric of our community,” Gavin said.
On Friday, Fairfax County Police Department Police Chief Edwin Roessler Jr. talked about the police department’s community policing efforts and addressed eroding trust in law enforcement.
“We shall have faith the local and federal justice systems will navigate toward justice for the Floyd family, the communities impacted, and our entire nation,” he said. “However, we must be mindful there is a healing process where righteous anger needs to be constructively exercised through the right to free speech.”

Australian animals face extinction threat as bushfire toll mounts
When volunteer Sarah Price found a baby kangaroo frightened but miraculously alive in the pouch of its dying mother surrounded by the embers of Australia's bushfires, it seemed fitting to name him Chance.
Veterinary surgeons said they have come across koalas, birds, wallabies and possums suffering from not just burns, but respiratory problems (Photo: AFP/SAEED KHAN)
The furry pair had survived flames that have ripped through much of southeastern Australia, but the mother's organs later collapsed from acute stress - making her one among the more than one billion animals estimated to have died in the crisis so far.
Chance is slowly recovering, getting regular food and water and hiding out in a bag in a darkened room - a rare success story amid a disaster that has shocked even volunteers accustomed to Australia's frequent bushfires and prolonged droughts.
"We are not seeing the amount of animals coming into care or needing rescuing that we would normally anticipate," Price, who works with wildlife rescue group WIRES, told AFP. "We think a lot perished in the fires."
Haunting images of koalas with singed fur, possums with burnt paws or countless charred kangaroo carcasses have flashed around the world and have come to symbolise a nation and an environment buckling under the weight of a crisis fuelled by climate change.
The populations of less visible creatures, such as frogs, insects, invertebrates and reptiles, are also expected to have been devastated.
Experts warn that even those animals that survive face a perilous fight to stay alive.
"A lot of the animals die after the fire because they have a lack of food and lack of shelter," Mathew Crowther of the University of Sydney told AFP.
"They could get eaten by other animals, or they can't get enough food for themselves."
In Victoria state, where the fire season is still in its early stages, veterinary surgeons said they have come across koalas, birds, wallabies and possums suffering from not just burns, but respiratory problems.
"Many are having to be humanely euthanised, but some are able to be saved, with a handful being returned to the remaining habitat, and three brought into care ... so far," a spokeswoman for Zoos Victoria said.
'HOLOCAUST OF DESTRUCTION'
Australia's extinction rate for mammals is already the highest in the world, but there are growing fears this year's bushfires could cause localised extinctions.
"The (kangaroo) mobs will generally try and regroup. When they come back, obviously the ... grass isn't green anymore, the foliage isn't there, the bushes have gone, the trees are burnt," Price said.
One third of Kangaroo Island, a wildlife haven off the coast of South Australia state, has been razed and there are fears some species unique to the area might have been wiped out.
"There's almost no considerable habitat remaining for many species. That leads to local extinction events," John Woinarski of the Threatened Species Recovery Hub told national broadcaster ABC, describing the fires as a "holocaust of destruction" for wildlife.
At least half of Australia's only infection-free koala population on Kangaroo Island, a key "insurance population" for the species' future, is feared dead with more badly hurt.
The Kangaroo Island dunnart, already one of 10 priority threatened mammal species targeted in the national government's Threatened Species Strategy, could face extinction.
University of Sydney professor Chris Dickman said his estimate of more than one billion animals killed was "highly conservative".
"We're probably looking at what climate change may look like for other parts of the world in the first stages in Australia at the moment."
When the fires abate, Crowther said some populations might become so small they could be taken into captivity to try to save their species.
Some parts of the bush will take decades to recover and experts say substantial investment may be needed to restore habitats if animals like Chance are to have another shot at survival.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. — Northern Kentucky men's basketball has canceled its weekend series against Oakland and paused all team activities due to "COVID-related matters."
The Norse were set to take on the Golden Grizzlies Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. at Oakland's Athletics Center O'Rena.
"Norse Athletics remains committed to following national, state, local, University, NCAA and Horizon League guidelines and protocol pertaining to COVID-19," read a statement from NKU Athletics on Tuesday.
On Nov. 27, NKU paused team activities following a positive COVID-19 test within the program. Three days later, the team's physician determined the initial test was a false positive after three confirmation tests came back negative.
Last weekend, the Norse split a two-game series with the Youngstown State Penguins at BB&T Arena.

26 December 2019 Venue Huish Park Attendance
PREVIEW | Yeovil Town - Torquay United
Gary Johnson's Torquay United travel to Somerset
Yeovil Town return to Huish Park on Boxing Day (3pm) as former manager Gary Johnson’s Torquay United are the visitors.
In front of a packed-out Huish Park, Darren Sarll’s side will be hoping to extend the unbeaten run to eight consecutive games, last losing to Dover in November.
Last time out for Yeovil, the Glovers drew with AFC Fylde, a quickfire Courtney Duffus double spared the green and whites blushes after going 2-0 down to the current FA Trophy holders.
Torquay have found themselves in indifferent form of late; after a comprehensive 5-1 victory over Aldershot in the FA Trophy, Johnson’s side were thrashed at Plainmoor by strugglers Chesterfield with Bristol City loanee Saikou Janneh sent off and suspended for our meeting.
Our last competitive meeting with Torquay United came in 2012, during the second round of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. After a frantic 2-2 draw which saw James Hayter net twice, the game would go to penalties which was won 5-4 by Yeovil.
Most recently, the sides would meet in a friendly in 2015 which Town would come out the 2-1 victors in front of 800 fans at Plainmoor.
However, our overall record against Torquay is a negative one, with the Devon side claiming 16 victories, Yeovil have 14, and the points have been shared on 12 occasions.
Stats (supplied by the National League, in partnership with LV Bet)
Second-place Yeovil are undefeated in six league games, - scoring an average of two goals a game in that run.
Torquay have lost their last six games. It is their worst run for more than three years.
It’s not just Glovers top scorer Rhys Murphy in form - attacker Courtney Duffus has scored four goals in his last three National League matches.
Sam Allison will be the man in the middle on Boxing Day. This will be his third Yeovil match of the season, previously taking charge of the home draws with Stockport County and Aldershot Town.
He will be assisted by Marcus Carmichael and Richard Walker with Niall Clinton acting as the fourth official.
On matchday, minute-by-minute updates will be provided on YTFC's official Twitter account and live matchday centre.
Tickets can be purchased online until 12pm on match-day.
Following this they should be purchased from the ticket office on match-day.
Huish Park
REPORT | Yeovil Town 6-2 Torquay United
Stunning Glovers win on Boxing Day
Courtney Duffus’ superb hat-trick fired Yeovil Town to a six-goal victory over Torquay United.
Duffus struck once in the first half and twice in the second alongside Albi Skendi, Myles Hippolyte and Chris Dagnall.
Gary Johnson did not get the dream return he was looking for. Despite this, Asa Hall and Ben Whitfield both struck consolations to take a little shine from the free scoring Glovers performance.
Darren Sarll made one change to his side which drew against AFC Fylde last Saturday.
There was a return for club captain Lee Collins, who could only make the bench, then a twenty-minute cameo in Lancashire.
The meant that the Gaffer had decided to go with two out-and-out strikers in Rhys Murphy and Courtney Duffus with Skendi sitting just in behind.
It was a tactical switch which worked to perfection, as Yeovil would lead within three minutes. A brilliant Skendi run saw the Albanian with space to slide the ball across to Hippolyte to slam Yeovil ahead.
Skendi wasn’t done there, scoring himself just three minutes later, heading home Lawson D’Ath’s corner, causing an eruption in the Thatcher’s Gold Stand.
Yeovil’s dominance continued, with a third being added in the 15th minute. Goalscorer Hippolyte turned creator as his cross was met by Duffus at the back-post to continue his red-hot scoring form.
It was all one-way traffic, with Yeovil continually bombarding the Torquay defence, but it would be the visitors who scored next, with Asa Hall turning the ball in following a well-struck free kick.
Despite pulling one back, the chances continued to fall Yeovil’s way, with Charlie Lee having an effort cleared off the line and Wilkinson powering an effort wide of Shaun MacDonald’s goal.
It should have been four just before half time as Duffus spurned a sitter, after an excellent run by Murphy.
At the break, Yeovil held deserved dominant lead, and would continue to extend that in the second half.
Murphy could have had his name on the scoresheet in the 60th minute as he fired straight at MacDonald, once again after some brilliant work by Skendi.
Just seconds later, it would instead be Duffus who added his second of the afternoon. Another wonderful Skendi run meant all Duffus had to do was put his effort on target for Yeovil to have their fourth.
A fifth would be on the way in the 72nd minute as Dagnall netted his first league goal for the green and white. After being sent through by Duffus, the former-Bury man showed his class, calmly slotting past MacDonald.
Dagnall should have added his second ten minutes later as he selfishly drove through the Gulls defence, but his effort ballooned over the bar.
After a spectacular performance, Duffus got his duly deserved third, in similar fashion to his second, expertly poaching inside the six-yard box.
Torquay would add a consolation in stoppage time, as Ben Whitefield fired beyond Stuart Nelson, but ultimately, Boxing Day was Yeovil’s day, with a stunning victory.
Yeovil Town: Nelson, Dickinson, Collins (Hutton), Wilkinson, Osho; Lee, Hippolyte Tilley), D’Ath, Skendi; Murphy (Dagnall), Duffus.
Bookings: Hippolyte, Osho, D’Ath, Skendi.
Subs not used: Omotayo, Worthington.
Torquay United: Macdonald, Wynter, Cameron, Hall, Andrews, Buse, Evans, Cundy, James, Lewington, Whitfield.
Subs: Lewis, Keating, Kalala, Covolan, Nemane.

The staff of Magna Pars Suites Milano
Home Hotel Magna Pars Suites Milano: a Perfume Factory
Magna Pars Suites Milano: a Perfume Factory
written by simona-pk-daviddi
Magna Pars is the go-to address for those in search of a sensory experience, a five-star hotel à parfum in Milan’s coolest design district.
The entrance overlooking via Forcella
The vibrant Tortona district, the heart of the ‘Fuorisalone’ during design week, features a blend of narrow streets, artisanal ateliers and small workshops, old factories and warehouses transformed into locations of uncommon appeal. One of these hosts the Magna Pars, the only hotel à parfum in the world. In fact, no other place on the planet offers guests the choice of a room, or rather a suite, named for the essence with which it is scented. The hotel’s connection with the world of fragrances dates back to bygone days when the area between via Tortona and via Forcella, the heart of Milan’s design and fashion district, housed a perfume factory. As the factory grew, so did its need for space, resulting in its owners’ decision to move outside Milan to continue production. However, the foresight of its owner Roberto Martone resulted in the highly successful post-industrial conversion transforming the factory into a modern architectural gem. Wood, glass and steel were elegantly combined to form a state-of-the-art building constructed around a lush inner garden.
Barbara Rohner, General Manager of Magna Pars Suites Milano
The first five-star hotel located outside the ‘quadrilatero della moda’ was officially opened to the public in February 2013. “We offer an alternative to the centre and many guests return to our hotel time and time again,” explains Barbara Rohner, its Argentinean-born general manager, a team member since 2011, when it was only a project on paper. “We have an annual average occupancy of 70% with peaks of overbooking during Milan’s fashion weeks, and the city’s design week. On weekends, room occupancy easily reaches 60%, which is totally counter to the trends shown by other luxury Milanese hotels. We also boast a roster of VIP guests including Oliviero Toscani, who considers the Magna Pars his second Milanese home, Gilberto Gil, Valeria Mazza and Caetano Veloso”. Barbara’s comments are echoed by sales & marketing manager Fabiana Cinquemani, who says “The fact that we only have large suites (beginning with our standard suites which measure 55 square metres) combined with our unique interpretation of the post-industrial design of the district in which we are located, are amongst our most widely appreciated plus points. We are also extremely proud that we are now members of the renowned Small Luxury Hotels of the World“.
Floral, woody or fruity?
A view of the presidential suite
39 essences: one for each suite, and the name of each essence describes the olfactory note pervading it. This means that guests can choose the scent that most appeals to them from among the floral, fruity or woody essences on offer. After crossing a post-industrial corridor bordered by one of the factory’s original walls, guests will find themselves in rooms featuring an elegant contemporary design, enhanced by leather sofas and armchairs, crystal tables, brushed oak wood floors and state-of-the-art technology. Each suite has a corner bar, a small private library and an airy living room. The two presidential suites, measuring approximately 80 square metres and spread over two floors, have an added plus of Tecnogym equipment (on-site amenities include a gym and a relaxing spa) and a corian bath. The hotel’s communal areas are also characterized by their eye-catching design, starting with the Library Hall, the scenic roof deck and the unexpected open lobby.
The inner garden
The latter resembles the deck of a ship with white sail-like sunshades, white sofas and a wrap-around view of the inner garden, the green heart of the property. “The furniture at the Magna Pars is inspired by Italian excellence. All the furniture is Made in Italy by leading brands of the caliber of Kartell, Floss, Guzzini and Frau, with additional pieces by Italian master craftsmen like Italpoltrone, who began by designing a sofa for us which we liked so much that they ended up furnishing half of the hotel , or works by artists from the Brera Academy, who created the copper door leading onto the Liquidambar, our lounge bar,” explains Barbara Rohner.
Italian excellence
Executive Chef Fulvio Siccardi and his staff
The hotel’s cuisine, is distinguished by excellence, and helmed by Fulvio Siccardi, the recipient of two Michelin stars (one Michelin star in 2001 at the Le Clivie di Piobesi restaurant in Alba and another in 2005 at Conti Roero in Monticell’Alba). Chef Siccardi heads a brigade of 10 people at Da Noi In (ViaForcella 6) which is not ‘simply’ a hotel restaurant but a separate location that has its own address and is open to the public. Each day, the restaurant hosts about 60 businessmen at lunch while, in the evening, it is transformed into a gourmet restaurant with soft lighting and background music. “My cooking is inspired by traditional Italian cuisine upgraded with a few contemporary touches and enhanced by several unusual pairings,” explains the chef. “My signature dish? ‘uovo in gabbia’, a creation made of poached eggs cooked at a low temperature, combined with milk and parmesan cheese and topped with white and black truffle.”
PLEASE NOTE: Since September 2017, the cuisine and its staff are under the direction of Chef Giuseppe Postorino, who features a career as sous-chef to Fulvio Siccardi.
The dining room of Da Noi In restaurant
The hotel’s well-stocked, open wine cellar, featuring a selection of the finest Italian and foreign wines, is a treat for true connoisseurs. These can be sampled in a sophisticated, convivial atmosphere which, during the colder months is enhanced by two fireplaces, a selection of antique books and a beautiful picture of a lavender field. In summer, its standout features include large French doors and a luxuriant, scented garden, the ideal spot for an unforgettable ‘al fresco’ dining experience. No less noteworthy is the stylish Liquidambar, the lounge bar of the Magna Pars, which takes its name from the three Liquidambar trees that grow in its garden. This species is commonly known as ‘American sweet gum’ due to the fragrant resin resembling liquid amber that is released when it is cut. Here guests can sip sophisticated cocktails while seated around the fine white onyx counter, and indulge in a new sensory experience.
Lab Solue perfume laboratory
But the surprises that the Magna Pars reserves for its guests do not end here. The hotel has a perfume laboratory, the LabSolue. The fragrances that pervade the rooms emanate from this laboratory and, during their stay, guests can visit a state-of-the-art perfume laboratory to learn about the secrets of this fascinating ephemeral art and also purchase the same aromatic essential oils that permeated their rooms during their stay at the hotel. The laboratory features a blend of wood, iron and steel elements, antique objet d’art and contemporary furniture. It has a small library dedicated to the world of perfumes where guests, seated comfortably on its elegant velvet chairs, can relax while waiting for their essence of choice to be prepared. They’ll only have one dilemma: Magnolia, Neroli, Fig or Loquat? There are 39 correct answers.

Originally Published: March 10, 2020 10:32 a.m.
ASH FORK, Ariz. — On March 4, around 8 a.m. a Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) K9 deputy stopped a 2016 Kia Optima with a Texas plate for an equipment violation on I-40 near Ash Fork.
While speaking though the passenger window with the driver, 19-year-old Andrew Aldridge, the deputy detected the odor of marijuana from inside the vehicle. There were two passengers in the vehicle, Baily Byron, 18, and Deven Hamilton, 25. Everyone in the car was from Texas. All denied there were any firearms in the vehicle. After being confronted about the marijuana odor, one of passengers admitted there was marijuana in the vehicle.
While the three occupants were being detained, a K9 deputy searched the vehicle and found two rifles, both .223 caliber, that were in bags in the trunk. With the rifles were two fully loaded 60 round drum style magazines, a fully loaded 40 round magazine, a pair of latex gloves and a brass catcher. The K9 deputy also located a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol in the pocket behind the driver’s seat.

German economy shrank 5% in pandemic year 2020
DAVID McHUGH, AP Business Writer
A cargo ship passes under a bridge over the river Main in Frankfurt, Germany, Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021.Michael Probst/AP
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The German economy, Europe's largest, shrank by 5% in the pandemic year 2020, ending a decade of growth as lockdowns wiped out much business and consumer activity.
As dreary as the numbers were, the drop was smaller than many had expected, and a high savings rate suggested consumers could be ready to unleash a strong economic recovery when the lid finally comes off.
The state statistics office Destatis said Thursday that only the construction sector showed an upturn as industry and services saw deep declines. Agriculture, financial services, real estate and information and communication suffered smaller drops in output.
Looking ahead, the stage could be set for a substantial economic rebound since consumers might be ready to spend once the pandemic recedes, having increased their saving rate to a record high of 16.3% during 2020. Albert Braakmann, head of the group for economic estimates and prices, said consumption “could increase significantly.”
Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said that once the pandemic was contained, growth would be “clear and noticeable” in 2021. The government's estimate of 4.4% for 2021 growth is to be updated Jan. 27.
Germany's economy did better than several others in the 19-country eurozone as it was supported by manufacturing, which has taken less of a hit than services. The downturn was smaller than in France, which according to European Commission estimates cited by Destatis, shrank 9.4%, Italy, which was down 9.9%, and tourist-dependent Spain, off 12.4%. Official figures for those countries are due in early February.
The U.S. had a downturn of 4.6% while China's economy grew 2.1%, according to the estimates used by Destatis.
In the fourth quarter, German growth “roughly stagnated,” said Michael Kuhn, head of the GDP and output calculation group at the agency. He said that since very little data was available for December, when the latest round of lockdowns hit, the agency was not making an official estimate. The fourth-quarter figure is to be announced on Jan. 29.
The pandemic downturn, which followed 10 straight years of annual growth, was smaller than that experienced during 2009, when the economy shrank by 5.7% The 2020 figure compares to modest growth of 0.6% in 2019.
In 2020, the economy seesawed between lockdowns and a robust upswing that still left growth below the previous year. The worst quarter, the second, saw a quarter-on-quarter plunge of 9.8% followed by a rebound of 8.2% in the third. Unemployment has been contained in Germany and many other European countries only by extensive state support such as paying the salaries of furloughed workers.

A Recent Startup Breach Exposed Billions of Data Points

Sales intelligence firm Apollo left a "staggering amount" of data exposed online, including 125 million email addresses and nine billion data points.

The sales intelligence firm Apollo sent a notice to its customers last week disclosing a data breach it suffered over the summer. "On discovery, we took immediate steps to remediate our systems and confirmed the issue could not lead to any future unauthorized access," cofounder and CEO Tim Zheng wrote. "We can appreciate that this situation may cause you concern and frustration." In fact, the scale and scope of the breach has a lot of people concerned.
Apollo is a data aggregator and analytics service aimed at helping sales teams know who to contact, when, and with what message to make the most deals. "No one ever drowned in revenue," the company says on its site. Apollo also claims in its marketing materials to have 200 million contacts and information from over 10 million companies in its vast reservoir of data. That's apparently not just spin. Night Lion Security founder Vinny Troia, who routinely scans the internet for unprotected, freely accessible databases, discovered Apollo's trove containing 212 million contact listings as well as nine billion data points related to companies and organizations. All of which was readily available online, for anyone to access. Troia disclosed the exposure to the company in mid-August.
"There is always a high risk for fraud, spam, or other even harmful actions when these types of data sets leak."
Vinny Troia, Night Lion Security
As Apollo noted in its letter to customers, it draws a lot of its information from public sources around the web, including names, email addresses, and company contact information. But it also scrapes Twitter and LinkedIn. In fact, the information in the profiles Apollo compiles is so detailed that Troia originally mistook it for a trove from LinkedIn. Some of Troia's methods of investigating the Apollo breach have been called into question, though, particularly that he posted a listing for the exposed LinkedIn data on a dark web marketplace. Troia claims he never planned to actually sell the data, and that he made the post as a ruse to aid other ongoing research.
For its part, LinkedIn issued a firm rebuke. "Our investigation into this claim found that a third-party sales intelligence company that is not associated with LinkedIn was compromised and exposed a large set of data aggregated from a number of social networks, websites, and the company’s own customers," the company said in a statement.
Combining all of that public data in one easily accessible location creates inherent risk; if it leaks, as the Apollo data has, it enables scammers, fraudsters, and phishers to craft compelling targeted attacks against a huge number of people. But the Apollo breach has an additionally problematic layer. "Some client-imported data was also accessed without authorization," Zheng wrote in the disclosure to customers last week.
Customers access Apollo's data and predictive features through a main dashboard. They also have the option to connect other data tools they might use, for example authorizing their Salesforce accounts to port data into Apollo. Troia found that more than seven million pieces of internal "opportunity" data, information about impending sales commonly associated with Salesforce, were exposed in the breach. One Apollo client alone had almost a million records exposed.
"There is always a high risk for fraud, spam, or other even harmful actions when these types of data sets leak," Troia says. "People already receive phishing and voice-phishing messages every day. Now you are talking about exposing potentially hundreds of millions of people to more avenues for phishing and fraud. Meanwhile, Apollo seems to have about 530 clients who each had different amounts of valuable opportunity data caught up in this leak."
Apollo cofounder and CTO Ray Li told WIRED that the company is investigating the breach and has reported it to law enforcement. The data does not include financial data, Social Security numbers, or account credentials. Apollo said in its initial letter to customers that, "an unidentified third party accessed our systems without authorization before our remediation efforts," which could mean that the data is already in the hands of scammers.
Troia also provided the contact data included in the breach to security researcher Troy Hunt, who runs the data breach tracking service HaveIBeenPwned. Hunt has added the Apollo data to the repository, and plans to notify the HaveIBeenPwned network about the incident.
"It's just a staggering amount of data. There were 125,929,660 unique email addresses in total. This will probably be the most email notifications HaveIBeenPwned has ever sent for one breach," Hunt says. "Clearly this is all about 'data enrichment,' creating comprehensive profiles of individuals that can then be used for commercial purposes. As such, the more data an organization like Apollo can collect, the more valuable their service becomes."
Apollo's core product not only collects publicly available information, but creates a web of business and employee connections out of it. In addition to names, contact information, and job titles for employees, the data also includes things like the dates companies were founded, revenue numbers, keywords associated with the work companies do, number of employees, and website ranking by the Amazon-owned analytics company Alexa. The service then uses all of this information to try to draw connections between companies and identify possible sales opportunities.
"It's just a staggering amount of data."
Troy Hunt, HaveIBeenPwned
The Salesforce data pulled into the Apollo breach raises the stakes, since that information was never meant to be public, and many clients rely on Salesforce as an internal tool for business development. During his research, Troia became even more concerned when he noticed that when a user authorizes Salesforce to connect with Apollo, they apparently can't authorize Apollo to only pull specific types of data. Choosing to connect the two services seems to initiate total access.
This doesn't mean Apollo grabbed all of a given company's Salesforce data, but Troia notes that Apollo may have held more private opportunity data than some clients realized. Salesforce declined to comment for this story about the breach or how third-party authorizations work. Apollo's Li told WIRED that, "Customers have full and customizable control and management of the data they’ve imported to Apollo."
Apollo is far from the first data aggregator to have a breach, and as all the incidents compound, the threat of having all of that curated information so easily accessible becomes even more pressing.
"What almost worries me more [than the raw data exposure] is the mapping of social identities to email address and other personal data, because there's now so much more you can pull on a person," Hunt says. "We're continually seeing massive breaches of data aggregators who hold information on people who have no idea their personal information has been used in this fashion. I understand that it's Apollo's customers who provided access to their customers, but the fact remains that there are north of 100 million people out there who have no idea who Apollo is nor that their information was exposed."

The Unknown Startups Fueling Aerospace With Fancy Tech
Sarah Scoles
One aerospace accelerator doesn’t necessarily think of Silicon Valley as its incubator for genius, and it's willing to take on eat-your-vegetables inventions that could make rocket companies rich.
Starburst Accelerator
Concrete support beams, their bottom portions painted crayon yellow, loomed behind a projector screen last Friday inside a warehouse near the Denver airport. By 11 am, the space was stocked with aerospace entrepreneurs from 10 startups. The hopeful engineers and scientists had come to the Mile High City from as far away as Spain, to stand beneath that projector and pitch potential investors—on their weather-shielded drones, their gas-free airplanes, and their plug-and-play sensors.
You might think rocket-science and -adjacent companies want to keep their R&D in-house, given how cliche-difficult their work is. But they actually outsource a fair bit, especially to younger and more agile companies. And here in Denver, a Paris-based organization called Starburst Accelerator is helping them do just that.
Starburst is a bit different from other accelerators: It focuses on aerospace technology, doesn’t necessarily think of Silicon Valley as its incubator for genius, and is willing to take on eat-your-vegetables inventions that nevertheless have the ability to “disrupt.” Founded by Francois Chopard in 2012, the organization has offices current or planned in six countries, the better to unearth companies that can’t afford (or don’t want) to hang their shingles in the Bay Area or Research Triangle Park. Its accelerator program takes 18-ish months to mentor small companies and help them—160 so far—meet with the kinds of big-name industrialists and investors with contracts, capital, and fancy facilities.
In Denver, Chopard’s partner Van Espahbodi was emceeing the live event, where would-be investors vetted the startups, rated their performances—and perhaps planned to offer deals after the Powerpoints are over.
SpaceX Wants to Launch Thousands of Satellites. Why, Exactly?
How to Succeed in the Asteroid Business Without Really Mining
Luxembourg's Bid to Become the Silicon Valley of Space Mining
Starburst’s sped-up companies include some you’ve probably heard of, like Deep Space Industries, which intends to mine asteroids. But the list contains many more unknowns. Like AVA, a “solution for measurement and interpretation of vibrations,” and Cevotec, maker of a “composite fiber patch replacement.” There’s a reason they’re not household names: While patch replacements and vibration measurements are undoubtedly useful, they’re small, unsexy cogs in big machines—not technologies a CTO can easily pitch a generalist.
But aerospace industry insiders are more likely to hear “revolutionary and lucrative” (instead of “zzzzz”) when a nervous founder says “composite fiber patch replacement.” Those are exactly the kinds of small technical advances that big-fish aerospace companies—Boeing, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, among others—need to make their technologies more efficient, more communicative, and less likely to blow up. So instead, they support small companies’ development, and perhaps later buy their products (or them). Starburst, for a fee from those big fish and a cut of future deals with the small ones, is more than happy to aid them both.
So they showed up at this warehouse, for the possibility that one of the pitchers will save them a lot of R&D.
Diasporizing Investment
Neerav Shah of Aerotronic stepped up to bat first. He flashed a picture of Dauntless, the company’s single-rotor, weather-hardened drone. It looked like a malevolent dolphin-shark. His metaphor, though: “We like to think of it as a truck bed.” Using that bed, Shah imagines the oil industry can detect pipeline leaks, first responders can fly above an Event and send video back to the command center, and power companies can aerially inspect solar panels.
Aerotronic hails from Indianapolis, a place where not so much startup capital ventures. In fact, much of the money stays near the Golden Gate, with the Bay Area snapping up more than 25 percent of all investments. In the world. Because of that geo-centrism, investors likely miss lots of good ideas. After all, smart people live everywhere.
Like in Los Angeles, a city that gets 3.5 percent of the venture budget. It’s home to pitch panelist Wright Electric, which wants to commercialize a short-haul electric airplane. Or the Denver area, which doesn’t break the top 20 VC cities. It’s represented Friday in part by Orbital Micro Systems, which makes weather-monitoring satellites that will produce 30 times more data than the government’s orbiters.
Starburst, in other words, is location-agnostic. Of the 10 companies presenting, just two were from the Bay Area. Halfway through these 10, the group took a break. Music came on in the background. It was symphonic, no-singer covers of pop music. Like OneRepublic’s “Secrets,” with the apt and unsung lyrics “Tell me what you want to hear / something that will light those ears.”
The projects above are the flashier of the 10, the ones that might warrant some Silicon-Valley syllables. But the event also featured companies whose products made me wish there were coffee and not just iced tea.
There was iJet Technologies, predicated on the idea that airplanes don’t send enough self-knowledge back to the ground. Airlines need “intelligent, real-time processing of aircraft data,” as the company’s one-sheeter says. Yawn, right? But iJet claims that could save airlines $7,500 per month—per airplane—with features like alerts for maintenance issues and emissions reporting. Look at the sky: There are a lot of airplanes.
And then there was Farsens, from Spain, for, as the representative said, “whenever you can think about putting a sensor in a place you can’t reach.” (What a slogan!) The company makes battery-free sensors for measurements like temperature, pressure, humidity, and force. They use RFID: the same kind of technology that makes keycards unlock office doors. Stick them anywhere you want, and … sense! That’s straightforwardly useful—especially if you want to know what’s going on in, say, the belly of an aircraft—but again, not a pitch you’d make into an HBO series.
SynapseMX wouldn’t make the TV cut, either. The company’s representative, Shane Ballman of Atlanta, began his presentation by noting that aircraft mechanics are getting up there in years. Half of Boeing’s engineers and mechanics, for example, will be eligible to retire by 2019. Ballman’s fix? A workflow-smoothing text-message system tailored to aircraft technicians, of course. SynapseMX sends an SMS when, say, Frank has fixed that hydraulic leak and is ready for you to check nut torque. (Great, because what everyone wants is more beeps from their phone, specifically ones about what Frank is doing.)
Gripe all you want, but the system cut the average number of techs per plane from 10.2 to 2.6. And that will keep airplanes flying when the Franks retire.
The presentations—the last from local ExoTerra, which proffers thrusters for CubeSats—ended a few minutes early, and the entrepreneurs propelled themselves over to the waiting wine, to talk about sensors and workflow and electromagnetic spectrum allocation. And maybe—just maybe—to strike a deal with one of the nicer-suited executives, to be contractualized or monetized at a later date.
There was no saving the world at the Starburst pitch event, no high-flying rhetoric. Just hardware, specs, the solving of specific physical problems. And the sense that the big fish might need the little ones, in addition to the other way around, regardless of which ocean they inhabit.

By Susan Reidy
HIROSHIMA, JAPAN — Satake Corp. announced the merger of two Australian subsidiaries: Denny’s Engineering and Welding Pty. (DEW) and Satake Australia Pty. (SAU).
The merger began on Jan. 1. DEW is now a Denny’s Silo division of SAU and continues designing and manufacturing of grain silos and grain handling equipment under the “Denny’s” brand.
DEW joined Satake Group in June, 2015, when SAU acquired 100% of its ownership. The acquisition provided a multi-faceted benefit to both companies, giving DEW access to a new global and expanded domestic sales network with focus on South East Asia and the Pacific region.
The deal gave Satake Group access to world class bulk handling and storage equipment, further enhancing its capabilities as the leading supplier of rice and grain handling solutions in the world.
“We spent a successful four years since the acquisition in integrating the technologies and culture of the two companies in order to bring ourselves into a higher level of expertise in what we specialize in, grain handling and processing, without sacrificing any of the elements that made both companies successful over several generations,” said Kenji Yamashita, president and chief executive officer of SAU.
With the Denny’s Silo division, SAU said it will now further enhance and push its business to all areas in the grain processing industry.
“Satake Australia will take full advantage of the synergies of Satake Group as a whole,” Yamashita said. “From grain processing equipment to grain handling and storage, we are providing total solutions to our existing and potential customers' business needs. We are very excited about this merger.”

EXO Mars TGO Reaches Mars Orbit
Oct 20, 2016 #news, #newspaper, mars, mars atmosphere, mars lander, martian, planet mars
World News Tomorrow – Press Releases nr35-36 2016 / For Media / ESA
The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) of ESA’s ExoMars 2016 has successfully performed the long 139-minute burn required to be captured by Mars and entered an elliptical orbit around the Red Planet, while contact has not yet been confirmed with the mission’s test lander from the surface.
Essential data from the ExoMars Schiaparelli lander sent to its mothership Trace Gas Orbiter during the module’s descent to the Red Planet’s surface yesterday has been downlinked to Earth and is currently being analysed by experts.
Early indications from both the radio signals captured by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), an experimental telescope array located near Pune, India, and from orbit by ESA’s Mars Express, suggested the module had successfully completed most steps of its 6-minute descent through the Martian atmosphere. This included the deceleration through the atmosphere, and the parachute and heat shield deployment, for example.
But the signals recorded by both Pune and Mars Express stopped shortly before the module was expected to touch down on the surface. Discrepancies between the two data sets are being analysed by experts at ESA’s space operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
The detailed telemetry recorded by the Trace Gas Orbiter was needed to better understand the situation. At the same time as Schiaparelli’s descent, the orbiter was performing a crucial ‘Mars Orbit Insertion’ manoeuvre – which it completed successfully. These important data were recorded from Schiaparelli and beamed back to Earth in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The data have been partially analysed and confirm that the entry and descent stages occurred as expected, with events diverging from what was expected after the ejection of the back heat shield and parachute. This ejection itself appears to have occurred earlier than expected, but analysis is not yet complete.
The thrusters were confirmed to have been briefly activated although it seems likely that they switched off sooner than expected, at an altitude that is still to be determined.
“Following yesterday’s events we have an impressive orbiter around Mars ready for science and for relay support for the ExoMars rover mission in 2020,” said Jan Wörner, ESA’s Director General. “Schiaparelli’s primary role was to test European landing technologies. Recording the data during the descent was part of that, and it is important we can learn what happened, in order to prepare for the future.”
“In terms of the Schiaparelli test module, we have data coming back that allow us to fully understand the steps that did occur, and why the soft landing did not occur,” David Parker,ESA’s Director of Human Spaceflight and Robotic Exploration.
“From the engineering standpoint, it’s what we want from a test, and we have extremely valuable data to work with. We will have an enquiry board to dig deeper into the data and we cannot speculate further at this time.”

Television Buffy
“Can’t even shout, can’t even cry, the Gentlemen are coming by
“Looking in windows, knocking on doors, they need to take seven and they might take yours
“Can’t call to mom, can’t say a word, you’re going to die screaming but you won’t be heard.”
The demonic Gentlemen were among the most memorable monsters in the cult Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show.
They featured in a famous episode of the fourth season, titled Hush, in 1999.
Group Affiliation: The Gentlemen.
Base Of Operations: Mobile.
Height: 5’6” to 6’ Weight: Unknown.
Eyes: White Hair: None
According to the stories the Gentlemen cannot be killed by any sword but “(t)he princess screamed once and they all died.” Therefore, our game stats assume that the Gentlemen are extremely difficult to kill by conventional means (in DC Heroes RPG terms BODY, Invulnerability).
Even energy blasts powerful enough to take down vampires and demons in a single shot only knock a Gentleman down. The Gentleman will recover immediately. However, a single scream can shatter their heads explosively (Attack Vulnerability).
Beyond their formidable durability, the Gentlemen have two minor mystic abilities.
The first is their perpetual levitation (Air Walking). They never walk on the ground, drifting through the air one foot above the ground in utter silence. This makes their movements exceedingly quiet (Thief (Stealth)).
Their second mystic ability is an ability to sense appropriate victims for their work (Detect). This sense has a limited range, which is why the Gentlemen have to go from door to door searching for their prey. They can sense when the residence they have arrived at has such a person. Only then will they attempt entry.
The Gentlemen have a few items to aid them in their work. The more mundane ones are doctor bags with scalpels and jars for their work.
The critical one is their voice box, a mystic artifact that steals the voices of the townsfolk. This allows the Gentlemen to hunt their victims without their prey being able to call for help or to kill the Gentlemen with a loud yell.
The origin of the Gentlemen is unknown. But they have apparently been around long enough to become known as fairy-tale monsters, albeit very obscure ones. Their motives are likewise a mystery, though their modus operandi is not.
The Gentlemen travel in a group of six, with at least as many minions. On the first night that the Gentlemen arrive in town, they will select a central base such as an abandoned church. They will then use their voice box to steal the voices of everyone in town.
On subsequent nights they roam the streets in pairs consisting of one short Gentleman and one tall Gentleman accompanied by two Footmen.
The Gentlemen select young victims through criteria known only to them. Once a victim is selected, the Gentlemen enter the premises. They will knock politely and if that doesn’t work they will simply have the Footmen break into the residence.
Once the Footmen restrain the hapless youth, the Gentleman with the doctor’s bag hands a scalpel to the other Gentleman, who uses it to remove the victim’s heart.
The Gentlemen’s immediate goal is to collect seven hearts. But their ultimate goal once they have attained that end is an enigma.
The Gentlemen have apparently been defeated before, since the fairy tales include descriptions of what sort of attacks will and will not affect them. Since exploiting their vulnerability inevitably results in their deaths, the continued existence of the Gentlemen after having been beaten in the past raises questions about their current existence.
The Gentlemen may be reborn or recreated elsewhere after being killed or there may be more than one group of them.
Visit scenic Sunnydale
When the Gentlemen came to Sunnydale, California, in late 1999, things proceeded normally for them in the beginning. They were able to steal the townspeople’s voices on their first night in town. On the second night they found the first two victims that they were seeking.
On the third night Buffy Summers and Riley Finn tracked the Gentlemen’s minions back to the church they were using as a base. Once Riley destroyed the voice box, Buffy gave out a single shrill scream that paralyzed the minions. It also made the Gentlemen’s heads explode, ending their reign of terror in Sunnydale.
The Gentlemen are skeletally thin bald men with light gray skin and sunken white eyes. They have a perpetual leering grin that prominently displays their silver teeth.
The Gentlemen’s name is taken in part from their attire. This is always a simple black business suit with matching black tie and shoes, a white shirt, and a white handkerchief in the jacket’s left breast pocket. In short, they look like cadaverous morticians.
The Gentlemen’s faces range from long and thin to broad (sometimes almost inhumanly so). All of them have aquiline noses. When a Gentleman is killed by a human scream, his head explodes in a splash of viscous bright green liquid.
Because of their utter silence and lack of interaction with others, their personalities can only be described in the broadest strokes.
The Gentlemen are very polite, of course. They knock on their victim’s doors before coming in, seek the nodding approval of their fellows before embarking on a course of action, and will give silent golf claps to applaud one another’s work. They usually communicate with one another with languid, grandiloquent gestures. These are much like those of a silent movie star.
The Gentlemen would make good villains in any campaign featuring baroque mystic enemies. Their enigmatic background and motivations make it easier to tailor them for any setting, adding more macabre or outré elements as necessary.
The episode’s gimmick of leaving everyone speechless for the second half of the episode after the Gentlemen arrived can also be applied during a role-playing session. It adds a new wrinkle to the game as everyone is forced to communicate non-verbally.
It may be worthwhile to emphasize verbal communication in the events leading up to the Gentlemen’s arrival to give the subsequent silence a greater dramatic impact.

Object Awareness is Always On and only focuses on the Voice Box (-2FC).

Though the Gentlemen demonstrated no knowledge of advanced medical procedures, their methodology and demeanor would make addition of the Medicine Skill highly appropriate for GMs wishing to expand further upon these characters.
MPR (Mute), Strange Appearance, Attack Vulnerability (see below).
Doctor’s Bag [BODY 01. This is an old-fashioned soft black leather doctor’s bag. One Gentleman in each stalking pair carries one of these. The only known contents of the bags are scalpels and presumably the canning jars in which the Gentlemen keep the hearts that they have removed].
Scalpel [BODY 02, EV 01 (05 w/STR)]. The scalpels which the Gentlemen use to carve out their victims’ hearts appear to be basic high-quality surgical steel implements. If the Gentlemen are attacked, a Gentleman may attempt a Blindside Attack with a scalpel while the Footmen are keeping the attackers occupied].
The Voice Box (see below).
The Gentlemen’s Attack Vulnerability
The Gentlemen are extremely sensitive to the sound of the human voice. A single scream can make their heads literally explode. To represent this, anyone who screams in their presence is treated as if they have Sonic Beam at APs equal to the screamer’s BODY (up to a maximum of 06).
The scream must be made by a live human voice, not artificial means such as a recording, TV broadcast, or computer synthesizer. The Gentlemen have a -4CS to their RV versus such attacks. They cannot be spent HPs to mitigate the attack by raising OV/RV or using Last Ditch Defense or Desperation Recovery. Their Invulnerability does not aid them against such attacks either.
Use of a scream against the Gentlemen is considered Killing Combat for damage purposes, but this should not be counted against PCs for purposes of HP rewards. As a Genre Rule, the HP reward penalty for Killing Combat does not apply to killing evil supernatural creatures such as demons and vampires in the Buffyverse. This Genre Rule applies to most other fictional universes as well.
Characters who do not want to kill the Gentlemen can reduce the APs of the attack by speaking at a lower volume. For example, one could reduce a 5 AP attack to 2 APs by whispering instead of screaming.
Characters who already have an attack like Sonic Beam can add the APs of their Sonic Beam and the Sonic Beam from above using AP math. This addition cannot be used to overcome the effects of the Voice Box, i.e. combining the two to exceed the Box’s APs of Sound Nullify. In such cases, Sound Nullify will affect each Power separately before they are combined.
The Voice Box
[BODY 01, Sound Nullify: 12, Bonus: Sound Nullify has +24 Range for a total affected volume of 35 APs (+6FC), Limitation: Sound Nullify only affects live human voices (-2FC)].
This small wooden box with branded ornate patterns is an integral part of the Gentlemen’s methodology. The Gentlemen use the box to steal the voices of everyone in the town that they are visiting. This serves the dual purpose of keeping their victims from crying for help and protecting them from their vulnerability to live human voices.
When the box is opened it draws the voices out of every person in the surrounding area. The voices float out as wisps of fog and drift into the box. Once the town’s voices are collected the box is shut to keep them contained. If the box is opened or shattered, the voices are released.
Those affected by the box are completely mute, though they can make noise through other means such as gasps and snapping their fingers. Voices from recordings, computer synthesizers, and radio and television broadcasts from areas outside the box’s influence are not affected.
It is unknown if anyone entering the area after the box is shut would also lose their voice, though it can be speculated that the box no longer steals voices once it has been shut.
The Footmen
The Gentlemen’s minions have the following stats :
Dex: 05 Str: 05 Bod: 06 Motivation: Serve the Gentlemen
Int: 01 Wil: 02 Min: 04 Occupation: Minion
Attack Vulnerability (Same as the Gentlemen), MPR (Mute)
The Gentlemen use the Footmen as classic stupid muscle. They are garbed in black pants, dirty white straightjackets, and bandage-wrapped heads. The straightjackets are fastened except for the sleeves, leaving their arms free to move.
The Footmen’s head bandages do not cover their faces and are the same color as their skin, which makes them look horribly scarred if one only gets a glancing look.
The Footmen caper alongside the Gentlemen as they make their rounds, holding down victims and battling interlopers as needed. Though they do not enjoy the same invulnerability as the Gentlemen, the Footmen can take a great deal of punishment before finally going down. Their HPs should only be spent on RV increases and Last Ditch Defense.

A voter paused in November at a polling place in Agua Dulce, Calif. The midterms saw high voter turnout, even as polls show Americans have doubts about fundamental aspects of U.S. democracy.

Americans have little faith the U.S. political system can address long-term challenges and are skeptical the nation remains committed to foundational tenets such as the free market, majority rule and tolerance, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows.
The lukewarm assessment is marked by sharp partisan differences. A majority of Democrats believe American democracy needs a complete overhaul or major changes, while a majority of Republicans say it is working well or needs only minor adjustments. Republicans, unlike Democrats, say they have faith in the office of the presidency and see America as a leader on the world stage.
But on many points, people in both parties hold a souring view of how the federal government is functioning. Majorities of Republicans and Democrats both say America’s best years are behind it, rather than ahead.
The results come just ahead of the nation’s 243rd birthday and as partisan divisions grow. President Trump’s tenure has been marked by extraordinary clashes with Congress and the courts on his proposed border wall, trade, budgeting and congressional oversight. Those battles, the survey suggests, have shaken confidence in government institutions.
The president receives the greatest share of the blame for partisanship in Washington, with 43% saying his administration deserves much or all of the responsibility. By contrast, 34% primarily blamed Republicans in Congress, while 30% cited congressional Democrats.

What Is Demodex?
The Demodex mite is a type of parasite that lives on humans and can reside in hair follicles and sebaceous glands. These mites are arachnid (eight-legged) and invisible to the naked eye, varying in size from 0.1mm to 0.4 mm long. They typically live on the face and in the hair follicles of the eyebrows, eyelids, roots of the eyelashes, facial hair, and around the ears and are associated with various skin problems of the eyes and face, such as blepharitis and acne rosacea.
Demodex can affect humans at any age, but their presence increases in prevalence with increasing age. Immunity compromised patients such as diabetics, patients on long-term corticosteroids or chemotherapy, or patients who have HIV/AIDS also have increased risk and prevalence of Demodex infection. Usually, when the immune system is weakened and the parasitic population has colonized, this disease can badly damage the skin.
How Can Demodex be Transmitted?
For transmission of mites from one person to another, direct contact of hair and sebaceous glands on the nose, or dust containing eggs is required. Since the disease processes begin when there is an overpopulation of Demodex, the vast majority of cases of mites go unobserved and don't show any adverse symptoms. However, in certain cases, the mite populations migrate and multiply in the eyelashes.
What Are The Types of Demodex?
There are two existing types of Demodex mites: the longer kind, Demodex folliculorum, which live in the hair follicles and the short ones, Demodex brevis, which live in the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin.
What Are The Symptoms of Demodex?
In the early stages, there are often no noticeable symptoms, but if left untreated Demodex can progress. Symptoms vary among patients and may include dry eye, red eyes, severe itching along the eyelid margin and eyebrow, especially in the morning, eyelid irritation, burning sensation, foreign body sensation that seems to originate beneath the eyelids, heavy lid, and blurry vision. One of the earliest signs of mite infestation is cylindrical dandruff (CD), which is the accumulation of fine, waxy, dry debris that collects at the base of the lash and extends up to 2 mm along the length of the lashes and is most noticeable on the upper lashes.
How Is Demodex Diagnosed?
Demodex mites can be diagnosed by a slit-lamp evaluation or by carefully removing and viewing an epilated eyelash under the microscope.
How Is Demodex Treated?
Initial treatment involves an in-office lid scrub/débridement which starts with a drop or two of long-lasting anesthetic being instilled. The lashes and eyebrows are then thoroughly débrided. Next, an antibiotic/steroid ointment is applied to help keep the mites from moving and also possibly suffocate them. The steroid also helps in calming down the inflammation secondary to the chemical and mechanical irritation of the in-office treatment, in addition to suppressing any possible inflammatory cascade associated with the decaying mites. The patient should return in 2 weeks and repeat the in-office treatment.
What Are The Instructions for Patients with Demodex?
The patients diagnosed with Demodex need to know a few simple instructions:
Immediately wash bedding and pillowcases in hot water and dry in a heated dryer before beginning treatment, and once a week thereafter.
Wash face, nostrils, hair, external ear and neck with a non-soap cleanser twice daily.
Scrub the eyelids with a mild (baby) shampoo.
Avoid using makeup for at least 1 week and discard all old makeup.
Avoid oil-based cleansers, greasy makeup, lotions, and sunscreens which can provide further "food" for the mites.
Exfoliate face once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and trapped sebum. Keep pets away from sleeping surfaces.
With the proper medical care, treatment, and hygiene, the Demodex count usually drops to zero in 4-6 weeks without recurrence in the majority of cases. Patients receiving therapy show dramatic improvements in symptoms, eye inflammation, tear film stability and vision.

This is a riveting start to The Awakening series

I had one quibble only. Though we were given many explanations for Lex making her choice of love-interest, I kept looking for something more to explain why she didn't choose the other guy. In places it seemed this story strand was purposely drawn out - I put this down to my impatience in general :)
Get Emerge and you are assured of a professional copy, a great story, an addiction to Melissa A. Craven's writing, and frustration at the wait before book two is out! Get it now!
This is a riveting start to The Awakening series. I loved how relatable the main character was. She made mistakes! That never seems to happen in YA anymore. The storyline was well-developed, with depth to provide dimension and authenticity to the plot. The setting was a favorite point too. A fantasy world layered over the world we live in. And New Zealand was mentioned like three times (woohoo!) In my opinion this always makes for an exciting read. It draws the reader that one step closer to believing we could be in the novel as well!

Maurice Crichton: ‘These extraordinary community plays need community makers and players to carry them forward. YMPST is doing very important work in holding a community of supporters together between major productions. As the Trust grows in strength, influence and resources, the future for the plays gets brighter.’
Margaret Scott (Mystery Plays archive): ‘I love the Mystery Plays because they connect me with the medieval citizens of York. York is full of history and is still a brilliant city to live in. The Plays also connect me with modern residents who enjoy performing – great to watch, though I am no actor myself! The Mystery Plays Supporters Trust are an enthusiastic yet very organised bunch of people who are happy to befriend a non-actor, because we all share the desire to keep the Plays going in their home city.’
Marie Taylor: ‘I joined the Mystery Plays Supporters as I felt that someone at least from backstage should be represented. I find the Trust interesting and the meetings lively and informative. I am looking forward to the proposals for closer relationships with the other groups concerned with the community plays and hope this will bring closer cooperation and communication so that people who have taken part in previous productions are able to be a part of any future productions at the earliest possible opportunity.’
Sarah Lowes: ‘I was a student at York University from 1998-2002. During that time, I had the privilege of being cast in the York Millennium Mystery Plays in 2000 as one of the Mothers at the Massacre of the Innocent. I loved every moment of that production, from the first rehearsal to the last performance: not just because of the size and scale of it all, but because it embedded me into the community of York, something you can easily stay on the periphery of as a student.The Mystery Plays have been bringing the people of York together for centuries and not just by the re-telling of bible stories on the wagons, in the Minster or in the Museum Gardens. It is also by the sharing of our own stories, amongst cast and crew, about how we came to be in York and what brought us to take part in the Plays. You make connections through the shared experience, and the shared storytelling, that last a lifetime. I have not lived in York for 15 years, but the Plays, and the friendships I made during that period, keep me coming back. In a political age where the world seems to becoming more divisive, The Mystery Plays have an important role in building and strengthening cross-community relationships that can bridge any divide. I believe the York Mystery Plays Supporters Trust is vital to keeping the tradition going and ensuring as many people as possible have the opportunity to experience that sense of community, whether as a performer or a spectator.’
Alex Hughes (Founding Chair of the Trust): ‘I have been a member of YMPST since it launched (and was its founding Chair!) as I believe it is really important that the plays have a voice of their own from the people. I love the fact that the Trust is able to work with all parties across the city of York to encourage their delivery, and support the different productions that take place.’

Designing for Inclusion: Making Websites AccessibleSee more.
As of June 21, 2001, US federal agencies must make websites accessible to people with vision impairments, hearing problems, limited dexterity and other disabilities.Section 508, an amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, mandates that people with disabilities be given as easy access to government information, including through websites, as anyone else.Organizations not covered under Section 508 may need to provide accessible websites under the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, or other applicable laws. Website accessibility is an international issue: many countries have instituted laws based upon the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) put forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

The History and Culture Development and Functions of Guizhou Rosa Roxburghii Tratt
Two or three hundred years ago, the Rosa roxburghii tratt has already drawn the attentions of literary men. The most popular poem about the fruit is “Ode to the Rosa roxburghii tratt”, written by Zhao Yijiong, a number one scholar in Qingyan Town in Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It says: “Growing in the wild the Rosa roxburghii tratt refuses to be potted, and though with bright color its flower won’t go inside vermilion gates. However, with water in dragon well the fruit is made into wine, which is honored to be supplied to the emperor.” Zhao Yijiong was the first national number one scholar from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces who have passed the ancient provincial civil service examination. The poem was written in his childhood, which showed his great talent at an early age.
Rosa roxburghii tratt has had high nutrition and medicine value since ancient times. As it is recorded in A Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica and Dictionary of the Chinese Traditional Medicine, Rosa roxburghii tratt’s flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds can be used as medicine as they are beneficial for the stomach, digestion and nourishing functions, and its root bark are effective in curing diarrhea. The Book of Guizhou Province has the detailed description and narration of the plant shape, character, place of origin of it.
During the anti-Japanese war period, Rosa roxburghii tratt has become a natural nutrition pack for soldiers fighting in the war. In 1942, Dr. Luo Dengyi’s team firstly found out its nutrition value and applied it effectively. In order to address the public and soldiers’ problem of lacking nutrition during the war period, professor Luo Dengyi collected all kinds of wild fruits and vegetables in places such as Meitan and Huaxi in Guizhou province, and then analyzed the nutrition components. He aimed to find more wild food resources that can be used to relieve the public’s pain of suffering from starvation and help the people in misery. In his research, he found out that the wild Rosa roxburghii tratt in Guizhou contains rich vitamin C, vitamin P and vitamin K. Among these, vitamin C is as high as 1980-3750mg in per 100g pulp, way higher than in any other fruits and vegetables. And this has caught great attention from the academic circle both at home and abroad.
In the beginning of reform and opening up, Rosa roxburghii tratt provided solid endorsement for “Chinese women’s volleyball team spirit”. From 1981 to 1986, Chinese women’s volleyball team won a 5 consecutive championship, becoming the first team with this glory in the world’s volleyball history. The “Chinese women’s volleyball team spirit” have encouraged and inspired generations of Chinese people. At that time, with the determination of “winning honor for the country”, the Chinese women’s volleyball team trained very hard and fight tenaciously. Leaders of “the Central Sport Committee” hoped to improve the nutritional supplements for the Chinese women volleyball players. To finish this glorious political task, nutritionists across the nation conducted repeated studies and all recommended “Guizhou Rosa roxburghii tratt” in the end. Guizhou Agricultural College’s Huaxi Beverage Plant undertook the processing of “Rosa roxburghii tratt pulp beverage” for Chinese women volleyball players, and this has significantly improved their physical conditions.
In the new era, Rosa roxburghii tratt industry becomes a healthy, modern and ecological industry featuring the province’s efforts in poverty reduction, rural revitalization and ecological environment improvement. In 2019, Guizhou provincial Party Secretary Zhigang put forward the idea of “gathering the strength of the whole province in developing the Rosa roxburghii tratt industry”. Provincial governor Yiqin put forward the idea of “making the Rosa roxburghii tratt industry a big industry that enriches people and alleviates poverty”. Leading companies set a good example and improve the linkage between production and sales and branding. The benefit linking mechanism connecting “enterprise + cooperative + base + Underprivileged household” are improved. We advance poverty reduction through the Rosa roxburghii tratt industry and through consumption, and make the Rosa roxburghii tratt industry a healthy, modern and ecological industry that enrich farmers and improve ecological environment as well.
Rosa roxburghii tratt fruit is rich in nutrition, and it is praised as a nutrition library. It is rich in Vitamin C, superoxide dismutase（SOD）, peroxidase（POD）, polyphenols, flavoniods of Rosa roxburghii tratt, polysaccharides from Rosa roxburghii Tratt, triterpenoids from Rosa roxburghii tratt, amino acid and microelements etc. Among them, its most prominent feature is its rich Vitamin C. As the “the King of Vitamin C”, its Vitamin C is the highest among all fruits: it contains 841.58～3541.13 milligrams of Vitamin C in 100 grams of fresh Rosa roxburghii tratt fruit. It is 500 times the Vitamin C of apple, 50 times that of citrus, 10 times that of kiwi fruit. These nutrients are inseparable with its extensive clinical application and application value in food.
In recent years, experts have been actively conducted basic research in Rosa roxburghii tratt resources and have made certain progress. Their research mainly covers the following aspects:
First of all, it illustrated the main active substance of Rosa roxburghii tratt.
Secondly, it has the supportive therapeutic efficacy on cancer.
Thirdly, it is beneficial to diabetic patient.
Fourthly, its effect of hangover alleviation and liver protection is obvious.
Fifthly, its effect of improving intestinal function is obvious.
In addition, Rosa roxburghii tratt has certain scientific data support in anti-oxidation, anti-aging, whitening, lipid-lowering and anti-atherosclerosis, and also has good application in the treatment of lead discharging and fluorosis.
In summary, the function of Rosa Roxburghii Tratt can be summarized in four sentences: to prevent and fight cancer and lower hyperpiesia, hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia; to maintain beauty, keep young and relieves constipation; to improve sleep and cure the ulceration; to alleviate the hangover, protect the liver and ward off fatigue.

Plans of a new Airport
Published: July 18, 2013 | 8:20 am
TV3 has exclusively found out that a new airport might be constructed on the site of the Vaziani airfield, having been told about the plans by the Director General of Airzena, Iase Zautashvili. According to him, it is not possible to bring the runway at the current international airport up to an ideal working standard. Twice during the past two months, planes have narrowly escaped accidents, pointing towards low standards in navigation services, Mr. Zautashvili says.
This information has been categorically denied by the Director of the Civil Aviation Agency, Guram Jalaghonia, who states that the runway is being inspected on a constant basis, and that there has never been a danger of a plane collision.

Semenya hits back at critics
Published: August 14, 2012 | 10:49 am
Johannesburg – South Africa’s lone track medallist in two Olympic games, Caster Semenya, hit back on Tuesday at criticism of the tactics which resulted in her winning a silver medal in the women’s 800m race.
There was speculation that Semenya did not go all out to win the race.
“[There is} nothing much I can say. I try my best and I won a silver," Semenya told reporters at OR Tambo International Airport on the team's arrival from London.
Semenya said people who questioned her motivation lacked knowledge about the sport.
"So whatever people are saying, they always talk, they know nothing about athletics.
"They just watch us running, they don't know what we're going through, so yeah, I tried my best."
Semenya's medal was the first for South Africa in a track event since Mbulaeni Mulaudzi's silver at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Despite her individual success, she was disappointed at being the only member of the track team to finish in a podium spot.
"For me, I'm a little disappointed about the results. We had a strong team so we were expecting at least another four medals, but at least we have a silver."
Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula highlighted the performance of Semenya, who was South Africa's flag-bearer for the games.
"When you were running there our hearts nearly stopped. We don't [know] what your strategy was.
“Caster represents the greatest guts for women. It doesn’t matter where you come from, you represent a symbol of [a] courageous woman in South Africa.”
Mbalula congratulated all the medallists.
“There are no words that can describe the joy you have delivered. I don’t think you can comprehend what you have done for this nation.
“Today we are united – black and white – with your deeds. For what you have done it will remain in the annals of history. You did not ask, but you obeyed.”
Mbalula said the gold medal won by Cameron van der Burgh in the 100m breaststroke, in a world record time, was the catalyst for the South African team.
“When Cameron got that first gold, like we said, if you don’t believe don’t catch that flight. When that gold was delivered it changed for our nation.
“I want to say to you Cameron, job well done. We would have been disappointed had you not delivered that gold.”

Drake - Fake Love
Angus Walker
@gowangus
553 VERY HOTTTTT
37 HOTTTTT
30 MEH
13 NOT FEELING IT
138 MAKE IT STOP
Of all the new songs Drake dropped tonight, "Fake Love" is gonna be the smash hit.
"Fake Love" was the final track Drake played on tonight's birthday episode of OVO Sound Radio. Like "Two Birds One Stone" and "Sneakin'," a collab with 21 Savage, it will appear on More Life, the forthcoming project he announced at the beginning of the show. "Two Birds One Stone" is Drake being lyrical, "Sneakin'" is him being hard, and "Fake Love" is him going pop with no abandon -- and thus coming through with what sounds like a massive hit record, much in the vein of "Hotline Bling." Drake's good friend Odell Beckham Jr. had quoted the hook of "Fake Love" on Instagram a couple of months ago. 'Tis a catchy one.
Surprisingly, the song doesn't deal much in romance or heartbreak; rather, it's a lament on all of the "Fake Love" he experiences on a daily basis being one of the most important players in the music industry. Though the song would've fared well in the summertime, "Fake Love" is well-suited for the fall season. Expect to hear it on the airwaves very soon.
I've been down so long it look like up to me
They look up to me
I got fake people showin' fake love to me
Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
Drake ovo sound radio More Life Drake's More Life

La décapitation du roi, source des fantasmes post-lumières: du politique au poétique
Barbara Sosień
The decapitation of the king, as a source of post-Enlightenment fantasms: from the political to the poetic The decapitation of the Louis XVI, regardless of its political dimension, constitutes one of important sources of the Romantic imagination, not only French. In the literature of this period, in various functions and contexts, the images of the cut head appear in the works of Ch. Nodier, J. Janin, V. Hugo, A. Dumas-father, H. Balzac, A. Esquiros, G. de Nerval, Ch. Baudelaire, Lautréamont, Villiers de l’Isle-Adam... What is characteristic, in French historical novels, those representations become particularly frequent only since years 20. of the 19th century. A separate place is given to works which deal not with the relatively recent execution of Louis XVI by guillotine, but with the decapitation of the English king, in days of Cromwell, so one and a half years before, in London. One of those novels is Dumas’ Vingt ans après (Twenty Years After). However we must pay closer attention to three Dumas’ novels from the Revolution’s time, namely La Comtesse de Charny (The Countess de Charny), Chevalier de Maison-Rouge (The Knight of the Red House) and Le Drame de La décapitation du roi, source des fantasmes post-lumières : du politique au poétique 201 Quatre-vingt-treize (Drama of 1793; not translated in Polish), as well as a less known novel of Ballanche L’Homme sans nom (The Man without a Name; not translated in Polish). The word “head” appears in those works first in expressions and contexts which seemingly have nothing common with the decapitation; however a gradual dramatization and poeticization of this motif come after. By referring to the category of the dynamic symbolic imagination, we would say that the cut royal head, as one of the important mythemes, become, at the same time, one of the grains of mythical basis of the civilisation. The literary representations of the death of Louis XVI on the scaffold, as Dumas and others propose, correspond quite closely with views of the Jean-Paula Roux, French specialist of Cultural Studies, well known to Polish reader thanks to the translations of his books Le sang. Mythes, symboles et réalité and Le roi, mythes et symboles.

Taking the world by storm…one story at a time
Tag: Tess Gerritsen
A Few Thriller Writers Popular Today
The thriller genre covers a lot of ground and mixes with other genres as well as drawing a wide range of heightened feelings from a reader. Excitement, suspense, surprise, anticipation and anxiety are just a part of the roller coaster ride a good thriller can give a reader. Usually the plot in a thriller is villain-driven and the reader is aware of what he or she plans to do and can see the roadblocks put in front of the protagonist. On the other hand, in a mystery, the reader is kept in the dark and given clues to solve the central problem along with the protagonist. Some thrillers will meld the two but a thriller is usually larger in scope, i.e. the entire world is at peril in a thriller.
Patterson is a prolific author who writes in a number of genres. His thriller books include the Alex Cross Series, the Private Series, NYPD Red and standalone thrillers like Invisible. An interesting note: Patterson was turned down by twenty-six publishers before his first novel, The Thomas Berryman Number was published.
Baldacci published his first novel, Absolute Power, in 1996 and has been a force and a perennial bestseller in the thriller genre to date. His thriller books include the Will Robie series, the John Puller series, the Amos Decker character as well as the series featuring Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, former Secret Service agents turned private investigators.
Gerritsen’s first novels were romantic thrillers with the first being Call After Midnight published by Harlequin Intrigue in 1987. She branched out to medical thrillers with Harvest, Life Support, Bloodstream and then Gravity. Switching to crime thrillers with The Surgeon, Gerritsen introduced the character Jane Rizzoli, who became the central focus of ten following novels, paired with medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. The books inspired the Rizzoli & Isles television series.
Koontz is another prolific author who combines his suspense thrillers with elements of mystery, science fiction, horror and fantasy. It’s understandable he would mix these elements since his first novel, Star Quest in 1968 was in the science fiction genre. Koontz went on to write over a dozen science fiction novels before branching out. In the 1970s he began writing suspense and horror fiction.
An interesting note: Koontz wrote under these pen names early in his career: Aaron Wolfe, Brian Coffey, David Axton, Deanna Dwyer, John Hill, K.R. Dwyer, Leigh Nichols, Anthony North, Owen West, Richard Paige.

SEASONED CITIZEN RACEHORSE TRAINERS
October 2, 2010 by Bill Shanklin 1 Comment
Noble Threewitt passed on last month at age 99. He retired from training racehorses on his ninety-sixth birthday.
Thoroughbred horse racing has a tradition of trainers staying on way past the age that most people are retired. Some won big races in their seventies and eighties.
James “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons, the trainer of two American Triple Crown champions, was in his eighties when he conditioned Nashua and Bold Ruler. Other Hall-of-Fame trainers have been septuagenarians when they won premier races. Ben A. Jones, born in 1882, was still helping his son Jimmy with the formidable Calumet Farm string of horses in the early 1960s. Charlie Whittingham won two Kentucky Derbys and a pair of Breeders’ Cup Classics with different horses. Mack Miller sent out Sea Hero to capture the 1993 Kentucky Derby. Woody Stephens, born in 1913, won a Kentucky Derby and five consecutive Belmont Stakes in the 1980s. Phillip G. Johnson won the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2002 with Volponi.
All of these gentlemen are deceased with the exception of Mack Miller, who is retired. However, Hall-of-Fame trainers Alan Jerkens, D. Wayne Lukas, and Jack Van Berg are still at work, at the ages, respectively, of 81, 75, and 74. They don’t win races like they once did, but they still occasionally are to be reckoned with.
The life of an upper-echelon Thoroughbred horse trainer is a 24-hour-a-day and seven-day-a-week proposition with no real vacations. Trainers deal with equine injuries, disappointing performances by their charges, often-demanding owners, turnover of stable help, unpaid bills, long hours, and lots of travel. The aforementioned trainers did not need the money, so why did they continue on long after the minimum age for drawing social security?
Many people who live a fast-paced life, from all occupations, find upon retirement, often forced, that playing golf several days a week gets boring fast. Successful Thoroughbred horse trainers have a choice because they are not faced with a corporate policy mandating that employees leave at a certain age. The vast majority of horse trainers are independent contractors, who run their own operations. As long as they have the physical and mental capacities to do their work at an acceptable level, owners will retain their services.
For the most part, the trainers I’ve seen who are still plying their trade in their seventies or more are comparable in cognitive skills and usually physical stamina to much younger individuals. Is that why they are able to remain active or is it the other way around—they have good cognitive skills and physical stamina because they have continued to keep a schedule? Probably some of both is true.
An old adage from the Appalachian Mountains maintains that the key to a happy life is to have something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love. Anybody training racehorses at a Hall-of-Fame level is assured of the first two at least.
Lord Palmerston, Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan and others were fond of saying something along the lines of “there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” That has been proven to be so by some very productive seasoned-citizen trainers. Therein is a valuable lesson conveyed for all of us: find an occupation that you would choose as an avocation and you will never truly work a day in your life.
Cavalryman and racehorse owner Churchill also opined that “no hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.” Churchill and Reagan, avid horsemen, were the oldest people to be elected to head their governments and both lived into their nineties.

Imelda Whelehan provides an overview of popular feminist fiction from the late 1960s to the end of the 1990s, looking at how key feminist texts such as The Women's Room, Kinflicks and Fear of Flying have influenced popular contemporary works such as Bridget Jones' Diary and Sex and the City. Whelehan reconsiders the links between the politics of feminist thought, action and writing and creative writing over the past thirty years and suggests that even so-called post-feminist writing owes an enormous debt to feminism's second wave

The Port of Alghero
The Port of Alghero is the main harbour on the western coast of the island of Sardinia, and the first one that you reach when arriving from the Balearic Islands. It is protected by the Southern Quay (Molo Sud) and by the Outer Breakwater Quay (Molo di Sopraflutto), and offers a total of around 2,500 berths, accommodating everything from large yachts to the charming fishing boats. The seabed is rocky and sandy. The main winds are the north-west wind (mistral) and the south-west wind (libeccio). It is sheltered from the south-east (sirocco), south (auster) and north-east (gregale) winds.
The port and the city merge to offer a unique berthing experience at the foot of the ancient, imposing walls of Alghero. The city is a time-honoured fortress that was built by the Catalans, who also left behind their language. Concealed amid the cobbled streets of the historical centre, the facades of the palazzos, the mullioned windows and the walled-up doorways, there lie Alghero's history, image and identity. Alghero is the provincial capital of the Riviera del Corallo, a moniker that derives from the fact that the waters of its bay contain an immense amount of the highest quality of prized red coral. The Coral Museum (Museo del Corallo), located in the oldest part of Alghero, focuses on the history of the working of coral in this area.
The stunning coastline alternates white beaches and cliffs, cloaked with the characteristic Mediterranean maquis. Just a few miles away, you come to the Bay of Porto Conte, a breathtaking natural cove, part of the Parco di Porto Conte Nature Reserve, enclosed within the karst promontories of Capo Caccia and Punta Giglio. It is one of the largest natural ports to be found anywhere in the Mediterranean.

Home MMA News Jon Jones reaches agreement with Nevada Athletic Commission, suspended one year
Jon Jones reaches agreement with Nevada Athletic Commission, suspended one year
Jon Jones will be free to resume his mixed martial arts career next summer.
According to multiple sources, the former UFC light heavyweight champion has reached an agreement with the Nevada Athletic Commission, which will see him avoid having to face the commission at next week’s hearing in Las Vegas.
Per the terms of the agreement, Jones, 29, will be suspended for one year, retroactive to July 6, 2016 because that’s the date the results of his June 16 failed drug test were revealed. Jones will not be fined, per sources.
Jones and his legal team are expected to be present in some form at the Dec. 15 NAC hearing to formally receive the punishment.
Jones faced sanctions from both the NAC and the United States Anti-Doping Agency for his failed out-of-competition drug test. He made history in October by becoming the first UFC fighter to appeal a USADA suspension, however, an independent arbitration panel sided with USADA and upheld the one-year suspension proposed, which also expires on July 6, 2017. Jones had his USADA case heard by three arbitrators from McLaren Global Sports Solutions.
Jones tested positive for two banned substances, Hydroxy-clomiphene, an anti-estrogenic agent, as well the Letrozole metabolite, an aromatase inhibitor, prior to UFC 200 and was pulled from the card just three days before his highly-anticipated rematch against Daniel Cormier.
At his USADA hearing, Jones claimed he took a contaminated sexual-performance pill, which USADA independently confirmed was tainted. However, the arbitrators ruled Jones didn’t do his due diligence in determining whether or not the pill was within the confines of the UFC’s anti-doping policy and the WADA Code.
Some wondered whether Nevada would suspend Jones, who hasn’t fought since April, for more than a year given his recent misjudgments, but in the end, the NAC sided with USADA, paving the way for Jones to return in seven months.

Gangster Squad Review
Los Angeles and gangsters. Before “Gangster Squad,” the first film that ought to come to mind is “L.A. Confidential.” For Ruben Fleischer’s latest, that creates an outrageous comparison point. The “Zombieland” and “30 Minutes or Less” director was probably not aiming that high. Even if he weren’t, he’s still not even aiming to add a prestigious entry to the gangster film canon. “Gangster Squad” is instead one of if not the only history-based gangster movie that just wants to be an action flick.
Okay, so maybe not just an action flick, but considering the slick characters, numerous gun fights, explosions, etc. and sharp-tongued dialogue, no questioning entertainment is the goal. Considering we’re used to mob dramas that have high aspirations and a disproportionate amount of these films have won great acclaim, a number of audiences are likely to find something a bit off.
The first reason is the historical context. Jewish gangster Mickey Cohen has settled in Los Angeles in hopes of establishes his criminal network and owning the city. Police Chief Parker (Nick Nolte) wants to break his grip before it takes complete hold, so he recruits Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) to put together a team that will operate outside the department and the sight of the law to bring Cohen down.
O’Mara assembles his team in classic (albeit formulaic) cinematic fashion, with men who each have various specialties from the sharpshooter (Robert Patrick) to the tech geek (or the ’40s version of a tech geek) played by Giovanni Ribisi. Among the last of the men to be convinced is Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), a womanizer who seduces Grace (Emma Stone), Cohen’s etiquette coach and play thing. Together, they plot ways to hit Cohen where it will sting most.
If the team-assembling sequences don’t tip you off as to the movie’s super squad action flick qualities, Cohen’s sinister ways of torturing and killing the men who screw up and the ubiquitous actions scenes will. Even if the events depicted in the film were all true, they definitely didn’t look this pretty in real life.
Fleischer’s glory-shot style with big action payoffs simply wars with everything we’ve come to expect from the genre. Strike that—mob dramas have had among film’s greatest payoffs, but with a jaw-dropping realism that shakes you deep down. As terrific as “Gangster Squad” plays late ’40s dress-up, it does so with the intent of glorifying both the era as well as organized crime and law enforcement.
If you like your movies slick, “Gangster Squad” will fail to disappoint you as you might be lead to believe it will, but if you prefer something that gets its hands dirty and doesn’t care much for looks (more of a Sly Stallone type gangster film), you won’t find it here. There’s a reason Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin are the heroes here.
Honestly, I applaud Fleischer’s choice to focus on the glitz; after all, this is set in Los Angeles and Cohen had over-the-top aspirations. The script’s choice to be more of a fast-talking action film was probably not as necessary. Regardless, going into “Gangster Squad” anticipating an action film done in ’40s costumes will greatly improve its entertainment level.

In 1946, Jackie Robinson is a Negro League baseball player who never takes racism lying down. Branch Rickey is a Major League team executive with a bold idea. To that end, Rickey recruits Robinson to break the unspoken color line as the first modern African American Major League player. As both anticipate, this proves a major challenge for Robinson and his family as they endure unrelenting racist hostility on and off the field, from player and fan alike. As Jackie struggles against his nature to endure such abuse without complaint, he finds allies and hope where he least expects it.

M.U.M & Fade Records Presents "Miami Sessions with"Chris Fortier"-M.U.M Episode 84
While many people may claim to know Chris’ sound, with their focus on continually labeling him one thing or another, Chris is equally as focused on his efforts to push back the musical boundaries. It is testament to the man that he continues to develop his sound and musical direction, after all, as the man says himself “I just like to play good underground music, I don’t limit myself.”
It is artists such as Chris Fortier who are inextricably linked to the underground dance music scene that are the genuinely pushing the sound forward. Chris’ determination to continue to push the envelope can be seen in all aspects of his career. Proof of this can be found on his recent triple CD compilation Balance and his recent solo production under the 40oz moniker and his stellar debut artist album As Long As The Moment Exits.
The Balance CD genuinely offers something exciting and underground to the current stale compilation market. Boasting tracks from across the musical spectrum like David Gilmore Girls, Global Communication and Floppy Sounds through to Slam, Matthew Jonson, Rabbit in the Moon and Bent. It is little wonder the CD was name checked for compilation of the year by numerous international press publications.
Under his 40oz production guise Chris has released the several EPs that musically could fit comfortably on labels such as Cocoon, Kompakt or Get Physical. Further remixes of Alexi Delano, Joshua Collins, Lee Burridge, Freaky Chakra and John Selway show Chris’ genre defying sound at it’s underground best. Taking this a step further in 2007, his debut artist album was released to countless plaudits and impeccable praise. Not satisfied with status quo, look for the boundaries to continue to be pressed and pushed with each coming musical excursion.
With a DJ career spanning 15 plus years, he has continually been a crowd favourite, confirmed by his very first residency at the legendary “Aahz” in Orlando through to more recent residencies at The Cross in London and at Twilo in New York. Since a debut European tour in 1997, Chris has gone on to consistently tour the globe behind numerous singles, remixes and no less than 9 mix albums. You can catch him as easily in Tokyo as in Buenos Aires and all points in between on any given weekend.
To those that know Fortier’s history, they know to expect plenty more to come, for those that are just getting initiated, Welcome!
About Fade Records:
Fade Records was created out of necessity in 1993. At the helm is American DJ Chris Fortier. Chris and studio partner, Neil Kolo, needed an outlet to release the tracks they were producing together. With not many options in the States, it seemed obvious to start a label and create the opportunities themselves. The first release was in 1994 called "...For All the People". This track gave them a voice and platform for the future productions. The next three tracks, "All I Got", "Separation" and "So Good" were more highly praised and received heavy support from the biggest DJs out there, including Sasha, John Digweed and Dave Seaman. Equal support came from the USA from Kimball Collins, DJ Icey and John Debo as well as the brand new Mixmag USA (which eventually would be known as Mixer). This great support put the duo on the map and started every label in the UK demanding their talents for remix duties. After several years of building their profile through remixes and the odd single, Chris wanted to re-launch the label in the hopes to help discover and cultivate new talent from America. Steve Porter was the man for this job as Chris discovered him at age 17. With the productions of Steve Porter and others like Derek Howell, Royal Sapien, Funk Harmony Park & Tonepushers, the label is as strong as ever and having great success worldwide.

Effective RTI Use and Decision Making in Reading and Math
A new three-part series from Dr. Amanda VanDerHeyden breaks down the elements of accurate decision making at each step in the RTI process from screening to allocation decisions. The first section summarizes signs of effective RTI implementation and the final two parts demonstrate the RTI decision-making process through case examples in the areas of reading and mathematics. Read the Examples of Effective RtI Use and Decision Making Series for ideas on refining implementation efforts to make more accurate decisions and achieve stronger learning effects.
RTI Interview Series - LD Identification
Many people are asking the question, “Does RTI speed or delay the identification of a Learning Disability?” We spoke with Drs. Lou Danielson and Judy Elliott about this very question. Watch the videos and hear the perspectives of these two leading experts in RTI.
RTI Blog: Using RTI Data to Inform SLD Determination
Confused about the process of specific learning disability (SLD) identification? In the first part of this five-part blog series, Dr. Evelyn Johnson discusses the challenges of SLD determination and explores the benefits and limitations of various approaches. In future posts, Dr. Johnson will share Idaho’s approach to SLD identification and how they addressed the problems outlined in this blog post through a careful revision of their SLD identification policy and practice.
Is it possible to deliver RTI intervention services for Tier 2 using a total number of minutes per week rather than a set number of days? For example, can students receive intervention 2 days a week for 45 minutes rather than 3 days a week for 30 minutes if the total number of intervention minutes both equal 90 minutes?
In her response, Carol M. Connor, Ph.D., Research Faculty Member at the Florida Center for Reading Research, explains the variables to consider when scheduling Tier 2 interventions.

Nadal finishes Gonzalez with ease
Venue: Flushing Meadows, New York Date: 31 August - 14 September
BBC coverage: Live text commentaries on the website from 1600 BST each day, regular updates on 5 live, full commentary on 5 live sports extra in week two, both finals on 5 live. Live on Sky Sports and Eurosport.
Nadal will have played for four days out of five if he wins the title
World number three Rafael Nadal took just 34 minutes to complete a rain-delayed win over Fernando Gonzalez and reach the semi-finals of the US Open.
Nadal resumed leading by a set and 3-2 in the tie-break, and he won four straight points for a two-set lead.
The Spaniard then raced away to a 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-2) 6-0 victory.
The match had been delayed from Thursday, with Friday's play washed out, and Nadal goes on to face Juan Martin del Potro on Sunday.
With the men's final rescheduled for Monday because of the rain, Nadal will be delighted to have finished his quarter-final in the quickest possible manner.
And he showed no sign of the right abdominal muscle strain he had aggravated in the third round and that required treatment during the match on Friday.
He's a very good player, very solid from the baseline and now his serving is unbelievable
Nadal on Del Potro
"Lucky for me," Nadal said afterwards. "It was important to have one day off to get better for today.
"I played well, that's very important as well, and Fernando had more mistakes than the last day and that helped me a little bit more."
Asked to explain his disintegration, Gonzalez said: "I can't tell you, because I don't have the answer."
Nadal had battled his way into a good position on Friday by saving two set points in the first before taking the tie-break, and moving ahead on serve in the second tie-break.
Both men were looking for a fast start when play resumed on Saturday, but Gonzalez missed three successive forehands as he fell two sets down within three minutes.
And it got worse for the Chilean as he double-faulted twice to hand over a break at the start of the third, smashing his racquet in frustration.
The match was all but over as a contest, with only the constant threat of rain a worry for Nadal, especially when Gonzalez took a timeout to get some strapping changed o his foot.
606: DEBATE
That's exactly what Rafa needed. He breezed through the tiebreak with 4 straight points followed by 6 straight games in the 3rd set. So thankfully this hasn't derailed Nadal's chances.

It made no difference, however, as the rain held off and Nadal swept to victory with a love set, and he will return for Sunday's semi-final having wasted little energy."He's a very good player, very solid from the baseline and now his serving is unbelievable," Nadal said of Del Potro.
"So I know I have to play my best match here if I want to have a chance to win and that's what I'll try to do."
On Friday, sixth seed Del Potro came back from a set and a break down to defeat Croatian Marin Cilic and reach his first US Open semi-final.
Cilic, conqueror of Andy Murray in round four, made a fine start to his first Grand Slam quarter-final, but Del Potro broke in game six of the second set and never looked back, coming through 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-1.
Del Potro will go into his first US Open semi-final in buoyant mood after finishing so strongly against fellow 20-year-old Cilic, but knowing he needs a faster start.
"I cannot start the match like today," Del Potro said afterwards. "I was thinking about other things, and the weather was bad. But it was bad for both players.
"I just need to be in focus in the beginning of the match until the last point and play my game."
He added: "My dream is win this tournament. I'm so close to doing it, but now I am focusing on the semis."
Clic, the 16th seed, got going in sensational fashion, breaking Del Potro in game five and, after serving out the first set, again at the start of the second.
But Del Potro, who initially seemed ill-at-ease with the cold conditions on Arthur Ashe Stadium, hit back to level at 3-3 and dominated from there on in.
Cilic completely lost his range as Del Potro broke at 4-3 before the Argentine served out the second set and then wrapped up the third in 36 minutes.
The fourth set was even more one-sided until Cilic offered late resistance with a break at 0-5 - but Del Potro responded immediately to seal his triumph in two hours and 32 minutes.
"The beginning of the match I was playing really good and moving him around a lot," said Cilic, "and I found after the first set that it got a lot cooler and the court was a little bit hard to play on.
"The ball wasn't going through the court as much as it was in the beginning, and then he was like all the time on top of me and not letting me find any other solution to get back."

From Couch Potato to Ultra-Marathoner, Isaiah McCall Reveals How Eating Healthy and Working Out Changed His Life in New Book “Mind and Muscle”
A year ago, I was a couch potato. Last year, I became an ultramarathoner by running 30 miles straight – no stopping.
January 14, 2021 – A couch-potato running a 30-mile ultra-marathon is unthinkable, but Journalist, certified nutritionist, and former army officer Isaiah McCall accomplished precisely that in 2020 after he transformed his lifestyle by eating healthy food and working out. With so many work out and dietary tips to give out, Isaiah McCall has opted to squeeze them all into his debut e-book, “Mind and Muscle: The Psychological Benefits of Healthy Habits”.
“Mind and Muscle” is recommended to anyone who is determined to live better physically and mentally. In his book, Isaiah reveals not only how the body benefits from a good diet and exercise regime, but how the human mind can be nourished and rewired for success. Although a great advocate of consistent workout routines, Isaiah believes that the real deal lies not with breaking records in the gym but in taking care of the fragile human mind and the body.
“I want you to be the next person to make a fitness breakthrough. I want others to realize that good health habits are a mental shift first and foremost,” says Isaiah.
“Mind and Muscle” is unlike any other diet or fitness guide, in that it carries not only the advice of a professional nutritionist but also the wisdom of a philosopher and a student of psychology. Isaiah wears many hats, and his ultimate aim is to help all those failed New Year resolution makers to finally get hold of their lives and change their lives. All the psychological benefits of working out and eating healthy are detailed in “Mind and Muscle”. Also included are insights from Jungian psychology. For those who need proof, Isaiah has shared his ultra-marathon video.
Like many others, once Isaiah lived a sedentary life, but 2020 came as a wake-up call. After a complete transformation, he achieved his dream of becoming an ultra-marathoner. Watch Isaiah run the 30-mile run: Becoming An Ultramarathoner: Brutal 30 Mile Run No Stopping (From New Jersey to the Ocean)
By profession, Isaiah McCall works for USA Today as a reporter. By night he is also a stand-up comedian, a magician, and a podcaster. Isaiah also writes about cryptocurrency, fitness hacks, Greek philosophy, and other subjects.
“Mind and Muscle: The Psychological Benefits of Healthy Habits” by Isaiah McCall is available on Kindle.

Gas rebranded as green energy by EU
Note: This basically outlays the death of any EU plans to deal with climate, even if they were hopelessly weak to begin with, but more importantly it lays bear the death of allowing campaigns to decide "strategically" to focus on certain areas to the death of others. Many environmentalists have allowed and basically brought this to fruition because there has been little to no energy put behind fighting fracking north of the 49th parallel. Sad but true.

Enbridge, Enterprise to double Seaway oil pipeline
Todd Korol Reuters
March 27, 2012|
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Enbridge Inc and Enterprise Products Partners LP will more than double capacity of the Seaway Pipeline and expand another line from Illinois to ship more crude oil out of the glutted U.S. Midwest.

Term 'oilsands' can't hide that bitumen is tar
By Steven Hill, The Daily News March 29, 2012
Here's an illustration of the "la-la world" of the Stephen Harper government, where lies, if spoken often enough and loudly enough, eventually acquire an aura of truth.
It is now politically incorrect to refer to the "Alberta Tar Sands." They have somehow, perhaps magically, become the "Alberta Oil Sands."
However, both the Keystone XL and the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines are designed to transport bitumen, which is colloquially referred to as tar.

Canada reports 1st sexually transmitted Zika case, 9th country to report person-to-person transmission
by Robert Herriman
Canadian health officials reported yesterday on the confirmation of the first positive case of Zika virus transmitted sexually in Canada. Testing at the Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC) National Microbiology Laboratory confirmed the case. The individual from Ontario is suspected to have contracted the virus from a sexual partner who was diagnosed with Zika virus after travelling to an affected country.
Ontario map/public domain wikimedia commons
As of April 25, 2016, 55 travel-related cases and 1 locally acquired case through sexual transmission have been reported in Canada.
Canada is the ninth country to report evidence of person-to-person transmission of Zika virus, other than mosquito-borne transmission (the eight others are: Argentina, Chile, France, Italy, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal and the United States of America).
Health officials remind Canadians that there have been no confirmed cases of locally-acquired Zika virus through mosquitoes, and that the overall risk in Canada remains very low; mosquitoes known to transmit the virus are not established in Canada and are not well-suited to our climate. All confirmed Canadian cases of Zika virus occurred as a result of travel to countries where Zika virus is circulating.
This situation underscores the need for returning travellers from Zika-affected countries and their sexual partners to take precautions to protect themselves against the virus. Pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy should avoid travel to countries with ongoing Zika virus outbreaks. If travel cannot be avoided or postponed, strict mosquito bite prevention measures should be taken due to the association between Zika virus infection and increased risk of serious health effects on their unborn baby.
For travellers returning from countries with ongoing Zika virus outbreaks:
For women planning a pregnancy, it is strongly recommended that you wait:
at least 2 months before trying to conceive to ensure that any possible Zika virus infection has cleared your body; and,
For male travellers, Zika virus can persist for an extended period of time in the semen of infected males, therefore:
it is strongly recommended that, if you have a pregnant partner, you should use condoms for the duration of the pregnancy;
it is strongly recommended that you and your partner wait to conceive for six months by using a condom; and,
it is recommended that you should consider using condoms with any partner for six months.

MOSCOW, June 4 (RAPSI) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a bill prohibiting the import of certain goods in response to unfriendly actions towards Russia on the part of the United States and some other countries into law, according to the official website of legal information.
The bill on countersanctions was submitted to the lower house of parliament in April by a group of lawmakers headed by the State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. On May 22, it was adopted by the State Duma. On May 30, the upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, approved the document.
The law authorizes the government to restrict import of agricultural goods, alcohol, tobacco and rare metals and some other goods from the U.S. and other states.
Initially, the initiative envisaged prohibition of import of foreign-made drugs and medical equipment from the U.S., but this provision was criticized by human rights advocates. On May 11, Human Rights Commissioner Tatiana Moskalkova said that the Lawmaking Council of the lower house of parliament decided not to ban imports of U.S. medicines similar to those produced in Russia.

MTA Stings Net Disabled Parking Abusers
by Chris Roberts | May 11, 2009 2:00 pm | in News | 4
There are evildoers amongst us, friends: not all of the approximately 55,000 San Franciscans who hold permanent or temporary handicapped/disabled (we never could figure out PC) parking permits are ACTUALLY DISABLED.
At a hearing today called by District 1 Supervisor Eric Mar, the MTA testified it has five teams of specially-trained parking control officers (read: those “Tough Jobs, Good People” people you love to hate who prowl the streets in the three-wheeled parking ticket machines) who conduct stings on potentially able-bodied holders of the preferred parking passes.
Recent stings nabbed the following amounts of misused placards in the following places: 17 in Chinatown, 12 near San Francisco State, 21 on the Irving Street commercial strip, 15 on the Clement Street strip, six near SF General Hospital and seven near the Kaiser Permanente complex at Geary/Divisadero streets.
In all, MTA/DPT staff nabbed 636 altered, misused or counterfeit permits in the fourth quarter of last year, up from 258 bad permits confiscated in the same time period in 2007.
(As far as what these stings entail: we have plenty of ideas, including images of counterfeit parking placard shops dancing in our heads, but are waiting for more info from MTA spokesman Judson True. In the meantime, we can report that the parking control officers use another tried and true method in checking placards’ authenticity: walking up and down rows of parked cards and running every permit’s number in their system. If a permit’s good or bad, the computer knows. The computer knows all.)
Currently, the top fine for handicapped permit malefactors is $100 for misuse of the placard, plus another $300 for a handicapped zone violation. Under legislation working its way through Sacramento, however, the maximum penalty for an able-body stealing parking away from the infirm is $1000.
We were a bit bemused to hear the statistics: there are about 390,000 registered CARS in San Francisco. Counting trucks and motorcycles/scooters, there are about 460,000 registered vehicles in the city. Recent estimations say that 20 percent of Americans have some disability. But, of course, not every disabled person is able to drive, or has a vehicle properly equipped — Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier, for example, has had to use a wheelchair since she was 13, but drives a Jeep using hand controls for the gas and brake — which means… shit, we don’t know. People will alter, falsify or otherwise get around the system if they can, which is why we have City Hall hearings. God bless us all.
We’re waiting to hear more from the MTAre: the stings, and from the DMV about the difference between the parking placards — which a driver hangs from their rearview mirror — versus handicapped license plates, which are hung on garage walls or affixed to the back of a vehicle. Are those statistics kept differently? We can’t say, which is why the Goddess created media relations staff. We’ll post when we hear back.

BART Strike: No New Labor Talks Scheduled Yet
BART strike by Bay City News | July 1, 2013 2:28 pm | in News | 0
As commuters scramble to make it to and from work without BART today, a spokesman for the transit agency said this afternoon that no further bargaining sessions have been scheduled yet between BART’s management and its employee unions.
BART spokesman Rick Rice said management conveyed to mediators the hope that talks can be scheduled “very soon” and that BART is “prepared to negotiate the significantly improved proposal we delivered on Saturday.”
He said, “We’re ready” to talk to the leaders of Service Employees International Union Local 1221, which represents 1,430 mechanics, custodians and clerical workers, and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555, which represents 945 station agents, train operators and foreworkers.
Those employees began striking early this morning after their contract expired at midnight Sunday with no new agreement reached.
Rice said, “Unfortunately we do not have any further information on when negotiations will resume or how long the strike may last. We’re doing everything we can to get our people back to work and the trains running for everyone in the Bay Area.”
He said, “We are sorry peoples’ lives have been disrupted by the union strike. This strike is not necessary and we call on union leaders to end it and join us at the table so the Bay Area can get moving again.”
The key issues in the talks, which began on April 1 but broke off Sunday night, are pensions, health benefits, salaries and safety.
Rice said, “We have a tremendous workforce, they keep our system working and they are dedicated employees. BART is simply trying to normalize its compensation package to better match what others pay towards pension and medical benefits.”
The last time BART employees went on strike was in September 1997.
The walkout lasted six days before a settlement was finally reached.

Need Better Sleep? Get a Partner
FRIDAY, June 26, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Happy couples apparently make good bedfellows. New research says that when happy couples sleep together, they tend to have more -- and less disrupted -- rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
The REM phase of sleep is when you dream, and it's been linked to emotion regulation, memory consolidation and creative problem-solving, the researchers said.
"There is -- even in the medical community -- the notion that if you sleep with a partner, you might subjectively think that you slept well or better, but objectively, your sleep is more disturbed," said the study's lead author, Dr. Henning Drews, a resident and post-doctoral scholar at the Center for Integrative Psychiatry in Kiel, Germany.
But, he noted that the current study found that "if you want to share a bed with your partner, there is nothing to be said against it. It might even be very good for you."
For the study, 12 young, healthy couples between 18 and 29 years old volunteered to spend four nights in a sleep lab. They had been sleeping together most nights for at least three months.
For two nights, the couples slept in different rooms. On another two nights, they slept together. Half of the group started apart, while the other half started the study together.
Using polysomnography, the researchers simultaneously measured what went on during sleep in each partner. Polysomnography provides comprehensive measurements during sleep, including brain waves, breathing, movements, muscle tension and heart activity.
Based on their answers to a relationship questionnaire, the couples appeared to have very strong bonds.
When they slept together, both partners spent more time in REM sleep than when they slept apart -- and their REM sleep was less disrupted. Interestingly, they also moved their limbs more often when sharing a bed, but this didn't seem to disrupt REM sleep.
The researchers also found that sleep patterns appeared to synchronize when couples slept together. How closely they did so appeared to be linked to the strength of a couple's relationship.
There are likely at least two reasons why couples sleep better together, Drews said.
"REM sleep is a state during which the physiological capacity of the body to maintain its temperature is reduced. Therefore, the presence of a partner might help to stabilize one's own body temperature," he said.
Another reason is psychological comfort. Relaxing and safe environments promote REM sleep, so sleeping with another person might help to create a feeling of safety.
Jessy Warner-Cohen is a senior psychologist at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y., who reviewed the findings.
"This study highlights the role of social support on sleep quality," she said. "It finds that sleeping with one's spouse, especially those in deeper quality relationships, [results in] better quality sleep."
Drews theorizes that older couples in happy relationships would derive a benefit from sleeping in the same bed. But couples whose relationships aren't good -- particularly ones in which one partner feels threatened by another -- likely wouldn't see the sleep benefit. The researchers hope to do a larger, more diverse study in the future.
And what about single folks? Are they doomed to poorer sleep?
Drews said the couples' benefit was in better and longer REM sleep, so a whole night's shuteye isn't affected. Singles (and anyone else) who wants to improve REM sleep should follow good sleep hygiene by "creating a sleep-promoting environment," he said. That means no stressful activities before sleeping, no noisy bedrooms and no bright lights.
Lauren Broch, a psychologist at Northwell Health Sleep Disorders Center in Great Neck, N.Y., pointed to both strengths and weaknesses in the study.
"The strengths include a well-controlled lab-setting with good control of the variables that often disrupt sleep," Broch said. "However, the small sample size, young age and limited number of nights make it difficult to generalize such findings" to other groups of people.
Still, she noted the findings raise important questions about how social support and relationship quality might impact sleep, mental health and general well-being.
The findings were published June 25 in Frontiers in Psychiatry.

Succubus was a supervillan that appeared in the Ghost Rider comic book series issued by Marvel Comics. She appeared to be an agent of Nightmare and was likely a demon like him thought of a lower power level.
Her exact origin was never clearly revealed and it was possible that she could be a manifestation of Nightmare's powers, but there is some evidence that she was a demon like Nightmare and aligned with him. She was sent to attack Ghost Rider and others aligned with him, but did not succeed in her attempt. Her current whereabouts and situation are not known as she made only a single appearance in the Ghost Rider series.
1 Character Data
3 Powers/Abilities

First Appearance: Ghost Rider Vol 3 #36 (April 1993)
In Ghost Rider issue 36, Succubus was sent to track down Dan Ketch for her master Nightmare and in her first action in the episode sapped the life essence from boxer-turned-homeless man Henry Bronson, who was living at St. Ann's Shelter For Homeless Men. Afterwards she apparently crushed his neck with the intent to kill him, but he did not immediately die. Soon after, she confronted Dan Ketch and tried to seduce him, but her touch trigged Ketch's transformation into Ghost Rider. Realizing he was too strong for her Succubus escaped and returned to the Shelter where she attempted to drain another drifter's life force. At that moment, Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil, arrived with a box of canned food to donate. He confronted Succubus who then attempted to drain the life essence from yet another resident.
However, this particular resident was Calvin Zabo, the alter ego of Mister Hyde. Like Ghost Rider, Succubus triggered Zabo's transformation, and the two, along with a now costumed Daredevil, engaged in a fight in the streets outside the building. Dan Ketch arrived in the middle of the fight and when Succubus attempted again to take his essence he reverted to Ghost Rider. Daredevil then battled with Succubus, eventually knocking her out. Ghost Rider fought Hyde and overcame him. Shortly after the heroes departed, Succubus came to and attempted to finish her attempt at taking the unconscious Hyde's life force.
Later issues of the series showed that Mister Hyde had survived Succubus' attack, but the fate of Succubus was never revealed in the series. Her current whereabouts and other information is not known.
Powers/Abilities
Succubus gained strength by draining the life force from humans. She can also levitate in a manner to simulate flying. She also has the ability to phase through solid objects. Her physical appearance was ethereal and similar to a ghost.

My Dream Actress
Four of the finest
Back to Four of the finest
Gloria Elayadathusseril
For some of us, she is the wrinkled old Amirthavalli in Indian, acting alongside Kamal Haasan. For others she is the mischievous young Devayani from Chinna Gownder. For still others, the multi-talented Sukanya is a TV actor, a music album producer, a classical dancer and a talk-show host. She spoke to Desi Life during a recent visit to Toronto.
When her heroine status began to fade in the late '90s, Sukanya did not disappear but instead found her footing on the small screen. Still, Sukanya hasn't forgotten her first love, classical dance. In fact, her trip to Toronto was to take part in a bharatanatyam arangetram event as the chief guest. "It is so nice to see children growing up here take such interest in their tradition and culture, and seriously learn classical dance and music," says Sukanya, the recipient of Kalaimamani, a Tamil Nadu state award bestowed on exponents of various fine art forms.
Fans can see her back on the big screen in the role of a middle-aged mother in Thottal Poo Malarum, which was scheduled for an early August release.
So how does she feel about having to take on the role of a mother or a much older person, while men twice her age are still shooting dance sequences with young heroines? She's certainly not bitter about it. She says, without elaborating, that the industry has started moving in the right direction and people are also open to newer ideas, realistic storylines and presentation. Until then, there is always television for women with talent and a bit of luck.

Dream Girl's Kind of Place
Online edition of India's National Newspaper
World-whirl
It’s like telling me to choose one favourite film from the hundred odd I have done. My journey round the globe began as a Bharatnatyam artiste. I vividly remember the excitement of discovering the history-rich Russia when I performed at the Festival of India. Then films happened and more travelling too. Besides the thrill of facing the camera, the chance to be on the move and explore places is a perk. I have visited the U.S., Europe (especially the gorgeous Switzerland), the Middle East, Malaysia and the U.K. several times.
The English charm
There’s something special about every country. But the English charm works magic on me. I am as chilled out in London as I am at home in Chennai. One reason is because my sister lives there. Theatre is the other attraction. It’s a fabulous experience to watch plays. I love walking down the Oxford Street, picking up knick-knacks, cosmetics and trendy clothes. The parks, lakes, museums, the countryside… there’s a lot to see. You need at least a week to get know to know London.
I am eagerly awaiting my first trip to Japan. I am going there for a dance show. Some day I want to visit China.
Salad days
It’s not difficult to be a vegetarian and a globe trotter these days. Indian food is very popular out in the West. Anyway, I don’t like to waste time fussing over food when travelling. Salad, sandwiches and fresh fruits are enough to keep me going.
Light. I mean mentally too.

Unlucky Kollywood
From my point of View kollywood is the most unlucky field not using up the opportunites of good actress like Sukanya who has beauty and extraordinary acting talent.
She is suitable for playing village girl character as well as the city girl who can change her acting skills and appearance according to the character.
She not only looks good in saree in modern tress too.
I think kollywood doesn't gives values to the tamil nadu girls who is having beauty as well as acting talent.
They doesn't know the meaning the value of Diamond. Here Diamond-->Sukanya(My dream Actress -> Acting,Dancing,Musical-->talents)
Dream Girl's Recent Events
People of the film fraternity convened under one roof to pay tribute to the late veteran actors MN Nambiar and Nagesh. The gathering was arranged at the Nadigar Sangam office this morning at 10 O' clock by the film association and was attended by prominent personalities.
Our dream girl was also one of the member to attend this event.
Azhagi's Azhagu music album
Popular Tamil film actress Sukanya, once a leading heroine, has now turned music composer with the release of her album.
The cassettes and VCDs were formally launched at a brief function here today, in which film personalities including Director Bharathiraja, well-known musician M S Viswanthan, lyricist Vaali, popular film actress Lakhshmi and others participated. Later, Sukanya told newspersons that she had no 'Guru' (teacher) and learnt music on her own. She said she would compose music as well as continue acting, and added that she was also interested in composing music for films if given a chance. She said presently she was acting in a Malayalam movie and a few teleserials, including 'Anantham' on Sun TV.
Earlier, Sukanya also met Maestro Ilayaraja and handed over the audio cassettes and VCDs of her composition to him after getting his blessings
My Dream Actress Honoured in Toronto,Canada

Steven Singer Jewelers
Howard Stern Trivia Contest
Sal was in the studio with Sarah Haeussler who was on the show the other day for the World’s Strongest Naked Woman contest. They also had Britney Stevens in there. She’s a porn star.
Howard played some audio of Britney doing her thing in a ”Face Fucking” movie. Sarah was grossed out by what she was hearing.
Howard said that they asked the girls in because they had asked them some basic knowledge questions and they wanted to test all three of them to see who was the smartest.
Howard said that Britney has been on the show before and she said that the hardest thing she had ever done was double anal. Sarah was grossed out by that and said that she’s never done anal at all.
Howard asked Britney about how the double anal worked. She said that it was tested off camera and then they did it on camera and it was no problem at all. Britney said that she was asked to try it out and if it worked then they went with it. She said she did it just the one time and that was it.
Howard said that Britney’s favorite curse word is the N-word. She wasn’t even sure what the N-word was. Howard asked Sarah if she knew what that word was. Sarah said there are a lot of N-words and one was ”No.”
Sal told the girls that the hint was that she wears beads behind her ears. Robin told Sal he’s an idiot. Sal said it was just a hint because she’s the only one in the studio.
Howard said that the girls are playing for some cash today. He said that he has some money for them if they won. He said that ti’s not a ton of money though. It’s just $500 and a $500 gift card from Steven Singer Jewelers. Sal is playing for the chance for his kids to come in and meet KISS when they come in. Howard asked if they really want that. Sal said they love KISS just like he does. Howard said they like them because he likes them. Britney said that she was in a party bus with KISS one time.
Howard asked Sarah what she does to make a living. She said she has some guys who take care of her. She said she just lives.
Howard moved on to the game and asked the guys who they think will win. Robin said she would hope that Sal knows something and wins.
Howard asked Britney the first question. If she didn’t get it they moved on to the next person. Here are the questions and who was able to answer the questions:
What famous Massachusetts senator recently died? – Britney didn’t know. Sarah said Bill Clinton. Sal knew it was Ted Kennedy.
Walter Cronkite recently died, who was he? – Britney said he was a governor. Sarah said he owned Walt Disney World. Sal knew he was a famous journalist and newscaster.
What is the name of the Alaskan governor who stepped down from office? – Britney didn’t know and said it was Patrick Swayze. Sarah had no idea either and said that it was Patrick Swayze too. Sal said it was Governor Sarah Palin.
What is caviar? – Britney said it was a type of fish. Sarah said it was ”expensive.” Sal got it and said it was fish eggs.
What does USMC stand for? – Britney didn’t know. Sarah said it was ”You Suck Mean Cock.” Sal knew it was United States Marine Corp. This question was dropped because Sal had asked Sarah this question in her trivia challenge.
Who wrote the book Tom Sawyer? – Britney said Diane Sawyer. Sarah said she didn’t even know who Tom Sawyer was. Sal said it was Rush. Then he said it was Eli Weiss. Howard said it was Mark Twain so they all got it wrong.
What three ships did Columbus sail to America? – Britney said she didn’t know. Sarah didn’t know. Sal knew it was the Nina the Pinta and Santa Maria.
Where are your vertebra? – Britney said they’re in your back. She got one right and Sal gave up some of his points to her.
Nelson Mandella is celebrated around the world. Of what African country was Mandella president of? – Sarah didn’t know. Artie asked her to name any country. Britney said that it was Europe. Sal didn’t know either so Howard told him he had to strip down.
What does UPS stand for? – Britney said it was United Postal Service. Sarah thought it was United Pussy Service. Sal said it was United Parcel Service.

21st Century Liability
YUNGBLUD 2019
Since exploding onto the scene with his 2018 debut album 21st Century Liability, YUNGBLUD has traveled the globe and brought his rebel-minded hip-hop infused rock-and-roll to an ever-growing legion of fans. In the midst of his nonstop touring, the London-based artist has built a one-of-a-kind bond with his young audience—a deeply felt solidarity that served as a major touchstone for his new EP, the underrated youth.
“This EP is about all the people I’ve met and the stories I’ve heard in the past couple of years,” says the 22-year-old singer/songwriter/musician otherwise known as Dominic Harrison. “My fans are constantly telling me about the incredible things they’ve gone through, like coming out to their parents or transitioning to another gender. With every day, every gig, every DM, it’s become less and less about me and more about this whole collective of people coming together to fight for what we believe in.”
Working with producer/songwriters Matt Schwartz (Cold War Kids, Massive Attack, Robbie Williams), Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys, 21 Pilots, The 1975, Foals) Zakk Cervini (Machine Gun Kelly, The Used), Chris Greatti (Grimes, blink-182), YUNGLBUD approached the making of the underrated youth with greater clarity and grit than ever before. In a deliberate departure from 21st Century Liability, the multi-instrumentalist enlisted his live band for the recording process, injecting even more energy into his notoriously amped-up performance. “We’ve barely been off the road at all for the last two years, so we know each other inside out at this point,” says Harrison of his band. “This EP is all of us in a room together just pouring our hearts out, and I think you can really hear that in the music.”
With its uncompromising and unpredictable sound, the underrated youth unfolds in songs both exhilarating and intensely thoughtful, such as the impassioned lead single “original me.” A collaboration with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, the fuzzed-out anthem speaks to the urgency of self-celebration—a concept partly inspired by YUNGBLUD’s onstage gender-bending. “Dan and I were talking about how sometimes I wear dresses and fuck with gender norms, so we decided to write a song about being unconditionally yourself,” says Harrison. “Your biggest superpower is your individuality, so you have to completely embrace who you truly are.”
Along with “original me” and the epically heartfelt track, “hope for the underrated youth,” the EP brings YUNGBLUD’s anti-establishment message to songs like “braindead”: a frenetic and furious banger fueled by breakneck rhythms and a reckless vitality described by Harrison as “my ADHD on crack.” “That song’s about the people who put you down you out of pure insecurity, because they’re scared of what you have to say,” he notes. Co-written with hitmaker Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Janelle Monáe), “parents” switches gears for a hip-hop-leaning track driven by bass-heavy grooves and YUNGBLUD’s hard-hitting flow, its lyrics offering a potent reminder that “the people closest to you might not always know what’s best for you,” according to Harrison.
Elsewhere on the underrated youth, YUNGBLUD shares some of his most boldly vulnerable material to date. On “casual sabotage,” for instance, moody beats and haunting guitar riffs form the backdrop to his soulful channeling of romantic angst. “‘casual sabotage’ came from thinking about how sometimes when you put your heart on the line, people will abuse it—but that’s their problem,” says Harrison. “It’s my statement to my fans saying, ‘Never stop being real, never stop letting yourself be soft. Keep your heart open, even when it hurts so bad you can’t stand it.’” And on the EP-closing “waiting on the weekend,” YUNGBLUD achieves an unprecedented subtlety, joining forces with his former guitar teacher for an achingly tender love song. “It’s about a girl I used to see on the train platform in London but never had the courage to talk to,” Harrison reveals. “We recorded it completely live, me playing acoustic guitar and my guitar teacher playing a pedal organ from an old Navy ship from the 1600s. I just wanted to show a completely different side of myself.”
Born in Yorkshire, England, Harrison first picked up a guitar at age two, began writing his own songs at age 10, and moved to London to kick-start his music career when he was 16. After sharpening his musical vision by mining inspiration from firebrand artists like The Clash and N.W.A, he independently released his debut single “King Charles” in spring 2017 on his managers indie label LOCOMOTION RECORDINGS and landed a deal with Geffen Records by that summer’s end. Released in 2018, his self-titled debut EP features now-iconic tracks like “I Love You, Will You Marry Me”—a real-life tale of an ill-fated romance at a public housing project in South Yorkshire. With 21st Century Liability arriving in July 2018, YUNGBLUD soon embarked on sold-out headline tours of the U.S. and Europe, in addition to bringing his kinetic live show to leading festivals like Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds, Austin City Limits, NXNE, Rock Am Ring, the last-ever Vans Warped Tour, and Pukkelpop.
Looking back on his trajectory over the past few years, YUNGBLUD feels a profound sense of wonder, and an undeniable optimism for the road ahead. “Me and my band were living in a council flat two years ago, and now we’re touring the world and getting to spend all this time with the best fans ever,” he says. “In a world that’s consumed with unjustified hate and just expects us to fall in line, they’ve proven to me that my generation has the passion and intelligence to push for real unity and equality. I feel so hopeful now because of the people I get to meet and talk to every day—I know that the future’s bright, because we’re the ones who are creating it.”

Home News Four arrested over New Year's day killings in Rumbek
RUMBEK - 11 Jan 2021
Four arrested over New Year's day killings in Rumbek
At least four people are detained by Lakes State authorities in connection to the death of three people at Amokpiny Payam of Rumbek Centre county on the 1st of January 2021.
Authorities say unknown gunmen attacked Gan cattle camp in Amokpiny Payam, killing two people on the spot, and another one succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment at Rumbek Teaching Hospital.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, the deputy chairperson of the disarmament sub-committee for Rumbek Centre, Wullu and Rumbek North counties, Marik Nanga Marik, said the four are the fathers of the alleged suspects.
"We were given four names of suspected murderers. We sent the chiefs to go, trace, and bring those culprits. But the chiefs brought for us the four fathers of alleged suspects who killed people in Gan cattle camp and they are now arrested," he said.
Nanga said although investigations are ongoing, the fathers insist their sons were not involved in the killings and are innocent.
"When you are dealing with armed youth, they should be dealt with in the military barracks but I cannot disclose to media the whereabouts of the four fathers arrested in Rumbek," the official added.
He appealed to the communities to cooperate with the state government to apprehend suspects and promote peace.
Marial Majok, one of the detainees said he was arrested last Tuesday alongside Matur Magot, Mawet Machuot, and Mabor Malual and they are being held in the detention facility at Panda military barracks in Rumbek.
"When the incident occurred in Gan cattle camp, my son was here in Rumbek, the other young men were in the village and others in the cattle camp. They have no link to the killings in Gan cattle camp," he insisted.
Majok is appealing to the disarmament sub-committee which is holding them to follow legal procedures in the case.
For his part, the chairperson of the Civil Society Organization Network (CiSON) in Rumbek Lakes State Hakim Cipuounyuoc Awur said it is unlawful for the disarmament sub-committee to arrest and detain suspects in the military barracks.
"It is the role of the law enforcement agencies; the police to investigate and arrest the suspects and not in the military barrack where civilians are being tortured, but in the prison after a judge order the arrests," Awur said. "According to human rights, it is totally wrong to arrest an innocent person on behalf of someone's crimes. That is completely wrong."
The activist called on the national government to prioritize the complete formation of state governments so that security concerns can be handled by them.

First Sergeant Lewis J Michelony Jr

A small incident on the last day of the fighting on Betio cost First Sergeant Lewis J. Michelony, Jr. his sense of smell. Michelony, a member of the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, was a former boxing champion of the Atlantic Fleet and a combat veteran of Guadalcanal. Later in the Pacific War he would receive two Silver Star Medals for conspicuous bravery. On D+3 at Tarawa, however, he every nearly lost his life.
First Sergeant Michelony accompanied two other Marines on a routine reconnaissance of an area east of Green Beach, looking for likely positions to assign the battalion mortar platoon. The area had been "cleared" by the infantry companies of the battalion the previous morning. Other Marines had passed through the complex of seemingly empty Japanese bunkers without incident. The clearing was littered with Japanese bodies and abandoned enemy equipment. The three Marines threw grenades into the first bunker they encountered without response. All was quiet.
"Suddenly, out of nowhere, all hell broke loose," recalled Michelony, "The front bunker opened fire with a machine gun, grenades hailed in from nowhere." One Marine died instantly; the second escaped, leaving Michelony face down in the sand. In desperation, the first sergeant drove into the nearest bunker, tumbling through a rear entrance to land in what he thought was a pool of water. In the bunkers dim light, he discovered it was a combination of water, urine, blood, and other material, "some of it from the bodies of the dead Japanese and some from the live ones." As he spat out the foul liquid from his mouth, Michelony realized there were live Japanese in among the dead, decaying ones. The smell, taste, and fear he experienced inside the bunker were almost overpowering. "Somehow I managed to get out. To this day, I don't know how. I crawled out of this cesspool dripping wet." The scorching sun dried his utilities as though they had been heavily starched; they still stank. "For months later, I could taste and smell, as well as visualize, this scene." Fifty years after the incident, retired Sergeant Major Michelony still has no sense of smell.

Shuffle of the week #2
This is an ode to the shuffle. How better to get a good insight in your digitized album collection than by a classic shuffle? Finally discover the albums you never got into, finally throw the ones away you will never get into and worship those classics that never grow old again. The Shuffle of this week:
1. Death Cab For Cutie – 405 (We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes, 2000) [singlepic id=47 w=80 h=50 float=left]
The shuffle started with the fifth song from the second album of this American indie rock band. Not much to add, hardly listen to their albums anymore.
2. Pixies – Here Comes Your Man (Doolittle, 1989)
[singlepic id=53 w=80 h=50 float=left] It continued with an absolute alternative rock classic from the Pixies’ second album Doolittle. At first I thought my shuffle had hit The Beatles’ ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, using the same opening chord. The Byrds-riff that follows keeps this one a favorite.
3. Beatles – Come Together/Dear Prudence/Cry Baby Cry (Love, 2006)
[singlepic id=45 w=80 h=50 float=left] With a small delay, the Fab Four play at last. Having the most songs of all artists in the collection, it’s no surprise to hear them again. This is the Love version of Abbey Road‘s opening track, mixed by George Martin and son. The transition to McCartney’s ‘Can you take me back where I came from’ certainly adds value to this Lennon-classic.
4. Pink Floyd – Money (Delicate Sound Of Thunder, 1988) [singlepic id=52 w=80 h=50 float=left]
Another classic rock evergreen in an edited release, as Pink Floyd plays their Dark Side of the Moon classic live in New York. With an extended intro and solos, it contains ten minutes of guaranteed joy.
5. Beach Boys – Here Today (Pet Sounds, 1966)
[singlepic id=44 w=80 h=50 float=left] Probably my favorite Pet Sounds track after, obviously, ‘God Only Knows’. The music written by Brian Wilson is just absolutely genius, filled up by Tony Asher’s sad lyrics, sung by Mike Love. It starts with just a little glance now!
6. Cotton Mather – Aurora Bori Alice (Kon Tiki, 1997)
[singlepic id=46 w=80 h=50 float=left] Now this Texan rock band deserves a much broader appreciation. This album in my opinion is one of the most refreshing guitar albums from the past 15 years. The lead singer makes you think Lennon is still alive now and then, and the guitar licks just keep coming!
7. Moody Blues – House of Four Doors (In Search of the Lost Chord, 1968) [singlepic id=49 w=80 h=50 float=left]
Legendary song from a legendary album of a legendary band. Amen.
8. Morrissey – You Know I Couldn’t Last (You Are The Quarry, 2004) [singlepic id=50 w=80 h=50 float=left]
Took me a while to get into The Smiths and in the end I succeeded. Curious if the same will apply to Morrissey, till now it does. It takes me a while.
9. Paul McCartney & Wings – Helen Wheels (Band On The Run, 1973) [singlepic id=51 w=80 h=50 float=left]
Talking about legendary albums, huh? This track did not even appear on the UK versions as it was released as a single long before all the other hit singles kicked in. The album is without any doubt McCartney’s absolute solo masterpiece.
10. Mogwai – Secret Pint (Rock Action, 2001) [singlepic id=48 w=80 h=50 float=left]
The shuffle closes with the closing song from the third album of Scottish post-rockers Mogwai. That album goes on the mp3 player right away, long time since I listened to it.
“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”: Abbey Road (The Beatles)
[singlepic id=1 w=320 h=240 float=left]
Preceded by: Yellow Submarine (1969)
Followed by: Let it Be (1970)
Related to: not available yet
When you start with Dylan, you have to come up with something great to follow up. So let’s just immediately throw the Beatles in, the world’s most famous band ever. Influenced by Dylan, and at their turn influencing the rest of he world.
Talked enough about influence, what is it worth after all if the music itself sucks? Luckily this is not the case for the ‘Fab Four’, and certainly not for this album. Although Sgt. Pepper’s and Revolver are way more often called the best Beatles albums, I would recommend Abbey Road to start with. Little irony there, as this album was the last one they recorded before breaking up (although Let It Be was released after it).
One thing that characterizes this album is that it’s a very tightly constructed one. Irony part two there, as the group was really falling apart in those days. But despite all the disputes, the band’s main songwriters Lennon and McCartney were still able to produce some fantastic material. Besides, guitarist George Harrison was exposing more and more as a brilliant songwriter. That’s why everybody will recognize famous tunes like ‘Come Together’, ‘Oh! Darling’ , ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and ‘Something’ (which was considered by McCartney as the best song ever written by Harrison), without ever having heard the complete album.
The first part of the album consists of these kind of songs, together with ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’. The Beatles opened the doors for so called progressive rock with this song, having a very unusual length and structure. The fanatical organ sounds by ‘fifth Beatle’ Billy Preston and the sophisticated bass from McCartney makes this song one of my personal favorites. Side two to the contrary, is basically one big suite of short compositions with a total duration of about 16 minutes. They were originally made for The White Album and Let It Be, but blended together by McCartney and Beatles producer George Martin on Abbey Road. It closes with the symbolic track ‘The End’, a song with a solo from each of the Beatles (even Ringo, his only one with the Beatles) and the following last line: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”. Enjoy.

Typically the worry with a hit show is the sophomore slump but in Teen Wolf’s particular case the show actually popped in its second season so the worry would be that the third couldn’t live up to the standout episodes of last year. After watching tonight’s premiere, it’s quite clear that Teen Wolf is interested in taking what they learned from last year and growing from there as represented by a thrilling, mystery-laden, action-packed episode that proved why this show is quite possibly the modern-day heir to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer throne of thematic genre storytelling. Oh and don’t worry, there’s still plenty of shirtless guys and a Stiles cracking wise so don’t think this is Teen Wolf suddenly going grim. That said, things are quite dark from the get-go in a season that seems poised to deal with its latest threat with a little more maturity and readiness than in the past.
When I say thematic storytelling just think about what Buffy used to be so very adept at—using monsters to stand-in for real life struggles and pivotal moments in a teen or young adult’s life. The title of this episode, ‘Tattoo’, comes to mean much more than what at first seems like Scott’s need to have the most dude-bro ink on his arm since the barbed wire coiled around a bicep. This show has had a long-standing relationship with exploring symbols, the most famous being Derek Hale's Treskele tattoo. This season is throwing focus on the power of symbols more than ever--even in the new segments of the opening title sequence. Scott McCall may claim that his desire to mark his flesh is just his reward for not breaking his oath to contact Allison over the long summer, but what he’s really committed to in that time is to his own personal growth. This moment is about a boy becoming a man who isn’t afraid of wearing his internal scars on the outside without fear of what will come tomorrow. A symbol of someone that worked all summer to become more of his own person and to rely on himself alone to change his situation and hopefully his destiny. Even though it seems that no matter what kind of man Scott tries to be there are always elements of fate that can alter his path.
It’s a bit of an ongoing joke in the Teen Wolf fandom that the star of the show isn’t even the best or most-liked character on it. I think this year is one in which we’re going to see a truly different Scott—an evolved Scott and not just because he’s doing wolf-strength one-arm pull-ups while reading classic novels. Though I do kind of love the idea of that moment as a gauntlet being thrown to Stephen Amell’s frequently shirtless and exercising self over on Arrow a.k.a. the show where the wolf who shall not be named is residing. (Seriously, Jackson may as well be on the level of Voldemort other than a quick mention and a pretty funny pun involving his current status in the world of the show). Salmon ladder? Ha! One-armed pull-ups are the new thing in slightly gratuitous genre show workout porn. Scott is definitely still pining over Allison, but it feels like it’s less about her and more about the comfort that being with her once represented. Being your own man is a difficult journey to embark on and no one can argue that, but thanks to his werewolf healing screwing over his ‘human’ attempt at completing the first tattoo rite of passage into adulthood, it's his literal trial by fire which fits more with the person he’s meant to be and that's truly why this time his mark sticks.
Apparently Scott's future self is extremely important to the big bads of season three. The Alpha pack has fully arrived at Beacon Hills and the chaos their presence has brought with them is mounting by the day. Animals are going ape-shit over this seismic shift in their social eco-system leading to some dodgy CGI effects. I found that the implied violence of shelter animals tearing themselves apart in their cages was more sinister in the classic what you don't see is far worse way and it displayed the effect the arrival of the Alphas has had. What's exciting about the Alphas is they have a variety of personas, and they also have special powers that really make you think twice about getting too close.
In various interviews, Jeff Davis has assured fans that he’s set on building a real mythology with his version of werewolves and the creative use of claws outside of combat (they can be used to share and manipulate memories) is a really interesting take on that idea that I can’t wait to really experience. Not to mention the presence of the twins and their jaw-dropping special move was something to behold visually. Wonder twin powers, activate! Form of a huge fucking alpha wolf, shape of…a huge fucking alpha wolf. I’m sure we’re going to see more of that beast this season even though the literal way the twins, um combine is just begging for a lot of double entendre to be spoken. As it stands, the Alphas with the most panache are the lethal and sultry Kalli and the leader of the Alphas, Deucalion. I’m interested to learn more about the other three as well, but those two are the ones that have my eye at the moment with what we’ve seen so far.
The Alpha pack works as an excellent threat on a few levels so far and it’s more than just the fact that they’re a clear physical threat with one confirmed kill to their collective name already. When Deucalion informs the name-less girl who saved Isaac from the Alpha pack earlier on in the episode of his plan it holds with it a certain insidiousness in using an ally of Scott’s against him that fits with the idea of the struggle to fully realize one’s own potential. It's social and psychological warfare and I loved the touch that the wounds they inflict heal on the outside not on the inside. It's a metaphor that works for the various traumas our favorite characters have already suffered through in their lives as well as for what's to come.
Scott is a threat to this group because of who he’s meant to be, but Deucalion shrugs it off with the affirmation that he’ll just have one of Scott’s own people end his life for them. Now, Scott and Derek have clashed since the beginning of the show but in order for Scott to break free into his own fully realized self then it’s necessary to learn how to be his own guide. That means he must be willing to stand up for himself and surpass his own status. It’s just like when a younger wolf takes on the more experienced current alpha—there’s a challenge and if the young wolf is ready then he will have surpassed the fellow creature and incidental mentor it likely learned a great deal about their way of life from. It’s another rite of passage on Scott’s road to being the best wolf he can be. Deucalion realizes that the emotional and psychological scars of forcing Derek against Scott are just as harmful to the both of them as the blood and fur that will fly should an altercation come to pass between them once more.
It would be too easy to have Scott’s new outlook this season leave his mother in the dust, but Teen Wolf has another check in the ‘lessons to be learned from Buffy’ column by making sure that the adults always remain part of the action. Using Melissa McCall’s status as a nurse is a great way to keep her deep in the mix in a season that’s clearly going to be very dangerous. Also, wow am I ever still shipping her and Sheriff Stilinski, they have such chemistry together and this is the kind of show that might actually make something of that. I know, what a shocker that adults have romantic lives too since that other teen-focused occult show on a network with two letters for its name couldn’t care less about characters out of their teens or early twenties right now unless they need to up their body count. It was a wise decision to let Melissa in on her son’s extracurricular activities last season—she’s a fierce woman who will do anything for her son and from the promo after the show it’s clear that bond too will be tested.
There is one character however, who I feel isn’t where they should be by now. I’ll openly admit that during last season I was a very loud protester of Allison Argent’s vicious vengeful assault on Erica and Boyd following the death of her mother. I’m not going to use this space to talk about that any longer, but what was disappointing to me is how it felt that Allison in this episode was behaving far more like she did in the early days of season one. It’s a wait and see right now, but things were definitely not moving forward for her development in this episode. I’m worried that they’ll just stick her back into being primarily Scott’s love interest and friend again but the role the hunters have to play in this tale has yet to be revealed so I’m hopeful that just because there was controversy toward her actions, Allison won’t be defanged so to speak as a poor substitute for actual redemption.
Overall, this episode was a nice smash cut opening into the next season of wolfy exploits in and around Beacon Hills. There are questions to be asked, people to save, and challenges in place for our heroes already. Not to mention, they still find time to remember these kids are still awkward teenagers. Sometimes misguided, but they’re ultimately well-meaning teenagers trying to figure out who they will become in the wake of some truly extraordinary circumstances.

BankWest customers tell the Senate shocking stories of fraudulent foreclosures while Australia’s financial journalists are out to lunch — dining on the Commonwealth’s Bank’s record profits. Associate Professor Evan Jones reports.
ON THURSDAY 16 August, the Sydney Morning Herald reported the Commonwealth Bank’s approximately $7.1 billion profit, up $700 million from 2010-11. The Herald’s financial journalists fell over themselves in adulation. Here was a true national champion.
The previous week, a different story was being played out. The Senate Inquiry into the ‘post-GFC banking sector’ held hearings in Canberra (8th) and Sydney (9th & 10th). A couple of dozen spectators attended the Sydney hearings; it appears that the Herald was not amongst them. It was a spectacle. Transcripts of the hearings are available here.
The Senate Economics Committee instigated its banking inquiry in March, following pressure from myriad former customers of CBA-owned BankWest who claim that their foreclosures have been fraudulently obtained. The background is outlined here.

Smug Centrists' Self-Satisfied Sanctimony Seems Sad, See?
Last Sunday, the editorial board of The Washington Post asked what they surely thought was an utterly reasonable question: "There’s an effective and progressive solution for climate change. Why won’t Democrats embrace it?" The "effective and progressive solution" that enthralls them is a carbon tax. The lack of self-awareness revealed by their question made my jaw drop.
These editors, after all, are the very same people who have spent the last year or so gleefully joining in on the baseless attacks on Medicare-for-All by saying that such plans would "raise taxes." As my most recent Verdict column (and, to a lesser extent, my most recent Dorf on Law piece) explained at great length, this is utterly bonkers. Whatever else one thinks about Medicare-for-All or about Senator Elizabeth Warren, she is absolutely right that the labeling debate about health care costs is a political trap.
Why? As I said last week: "[S]he knows that every news outlet would play only the first five words of her saying: 'My plan will raise taxes but would reduce other costs by more than that.'" Which The Post's editors certainly would have done. Their dismissal all but writes itself: "Even Warren finally admits: 'My plan will raise taxes,' effectively killing her campaign. We told you so!"
But now those editors wring their hands, wondering why no Democrat will embrace "an effective and progressive solution for climate change" merely because it is a tax. Why, they ask themselves, would those Democrats be such cowards?
The lesson here is not merely found in the clueless hypocrisy of the "Just admit it's a tax, Liz!" crowd. It goes much deeper into the problem underlying the entire centrist approach to Democratic politics, which is becoming more and more difficult to stomach.
To back up a step, we need to take a few moments to discuss carbon taxes to understand why they are relevant to the whole left-versus-center struggle in the Democratic Party. Roughly speaking, as I described earlier this year, neoliberalism is a policy approach that accepts the standard efficiency-obsessed economic approach and tries to prove that one can get left-ish policy implications out of it.
To be clear, this is not necessarily or obviously a bad strategy. To take an example from a very different policy area, conservatives love to attack social welfare programs based on various racist tropes about laziness and dependency. Ronald Reagan hammered on the idea that "strapping young bucks" (by which he invoked the specter of shiftless minorities) were refusing to work because of welfare payments, and in particular, there was the worry that government support for children of unemployed parents would give those parents no reason to work.
Hence, conservatives decided that mothers and children could not receive welfare payments if there was an able-bodied man in the house. This, of course, gives men who are able-bodied but still unable to work an economic incentive to leave the household. If that happens, then the policy would be inefficient in the sense that it causes people to change their behavior compared to what they otherwise would have done. "Why distort people's decisions?" is a standard efficiency-based question.
So a neoliberal response to that problem would be to say that we can be more efficient if we do the more "liberal" thing, which is actually to provide income supports for people who cannot find work, even if they are able-bodied. Which, I admit, is a satisfying twist on efficiency analysis. Doing this, however, can in turn reinforce all kinds of illiberal assumptions, which are too complicated to discuss here. Still, it is all too tempting to say, "See, even following the logic of your analysis leads to a liberal result!"
Similarly, in the debates over environmental policy, neoliberals gave all kinds of intellectual ground to conservatives by agreeing that carbon taxes were more efficient than "command and control" regulations. Why? Because (as The Post's editorial briefly reminds us) a tax will give businesses the "freedom" to decide how best to reduce their carbon output, rather than simply complying with (or evading) specific pollution regulations.
And there truly is an appealing logic to that. There is nothing "liberal" about command-and-control regulation, after all, so if we could set up a policy that allows more flexibility in compliance, why not adopt it? The problem, however, is in then lauding the genius of "market-based policies" as if there is no government command or control in deciding what gets taxed, how large the taxes are, how the tax is enforced, and so on. Conservatives, who hate taxes, can then talk about setting up efficient markets to trade pollution credits, again ignoring the fact that those credits are entirely set up by government fiat and administrative line-drawing.
Again, I have nothing against carbon taxes, and if I were choosing from among various anti-pollution policies, I might use various tax policies as part -- perhaps even a large part -- of my plan. The point here is that neoliberals have been acting for decades as if they can induce conservatives to engage in a reasonable conversation about anti-pollution measures by adopting the language of anti-government crusaders, agreeing that supposedly heavy-handed regulation is worse than supposedly enlightened market-based policies.
Has anyone noticed how well that has worked to convince Republicans to adopt "effective and progressive" policies to fight environmental change? Neither have I. Instead, Republicans have simply moved ever further to the right, now denying that there are any reasons to worry about climate change and deriding all environmentalism as being based on Big Government and taxation.
As I noted above, this has now bitten one of the biggest cheerleading squads for supposedly sensible centrism -- the editors of The Post -- on their collective heinie. "But gee, we were so reasonable about agreeing to use freedom-based market solutions like carbon taxes. Why are Democrats afraid to propose them?" The answer, of course, is that neoliberals who are perfectly willing to demagogue progressive ideas like Medicare-for-All have made it impossible for Democrats to be seen as tax-lovers under any circumstances.
Which brings us to the broader intramural debate about centrism and progessivism. Post columnist Helaine Olen on Tuesday pointed out the absurdity of the centrists' smug attacks on Warren, especially Senator Amy Klobuchar's dismissal of Warren's plans as "pipe dreams." (Somehow, Klobuchar has gotten a lot of positive press because of that comment in last week's Democratic presidential non-debate.)
Responding to the idea -- the idea that is centrist heartthrob Joe Biden's core argument for his candidacy -- that moderate centrism among Democrats will lead to solutions, whereas principled progressivism will lead to stasis, Olen wrote: "All of this is the definition of wish fulfillment as politics. Think of it as fantasy politics for moderates."
Think of it this way. Republicans simply refused to deal with Barack Obama (and Biden) for eight years. Every single one of the candidates now running for president on the Democratic side is notably to the left of Obama (as are voters). Meanwhile, Republicans have moved much farther to the right in the years since Obama left office. Somehow it is going to get better if Democrats elect a person with a policy agenda that by design excites nobody and promises, at best, minimal and incremental change?
For years, Paul Krugman has been deriding this idea, calling it (among other colorful names) "fanatical centrism." Rarely, however, is it quite as obvious that the fanatical centrists have no idea what damage their own rhetoric is doing as it is here. "Don't do that, it means higher TAXES!" "Do that, because TAXES are market-friendly and efficient. Hey, where are you going? I'm making sense here ... "
It would be funny if it were not doing so much damage.

I hope that Senator Warren gets the messages you have put forward herein and in Verdict: Don't take the bait. Yes, Mondale was the proof of your point. So, as a general notion, it strikes me that people that get "employer health care" don't see that amount as a deduction on their "pay stub", as they see tax deductions. That amount could be directed to a Medicare premium instead of sent to a health insurance company, with no net difference to the paycheck. Since, this seems to be what happens for tens of millions of working people, it would be a large part of funding Medicare for All. You would, I would think, be better able to image a tax code mechanism to keep employers from taking back this part of the compensation package of their employees, as an executive bonus, dividends, or a stock buy back. So, the money that is already calculated by employers stays the same, the employee paycheck stays the same, and everyone gets a less costly health care system.
So, is there a need for a tax increase? Do not know, but are all premiums collected nationwide, including those deducted from SS payments, more than the total needed to fund Medicare for All?
Of course, doesn't this "cost" calculation approach(economists)just dismiss the "humanity" and "compassion" perspective to relieve suffering and pain- we have the science and technology to do so-, such that it is a goal that is worthwhile in and of itself?

Friendship Force International
Albuquerque, New Mexico visits New Hampshire Seacoast
posted Jul 11, 2019, 10:44 AM by FriendshipForce NHSeacoast [ updated Nov 16, 2019, 5:39 AM ]
Paul Revere Statue, Freedom Trail, Boston
The Friendship Force of the New Hampshire Seacoast welcomed 11 Friendship Force "ambassadors" from Albuquerque, New Mexico and 2 from Greeley, Colorado from June 8-16, 2019. They stayed in member homes and got to know our region through daily activities organized by club members.
Their first full day here was a ‘free’ day for ambassadors and their home hosts to explore the area and points of interest that they would not see during the week’s activities. The Shaker Village in Canterbury, the beautiful Fuller Gardens in Rye, Squam Lake, the filming location of the movie, ‘On Golden Pond,’ and the New Hampshire Seacoast (it happened to be World Ocean Day so there was a lot going on!) were some of the locations visited. The day ended with a Welcome Dinner and an opportunity for all club members to meet the ambassadors.
On Monday, the group traveled by train to Boston where they walked the Freedom Trail. They also visited the Swan Boats and the ‘Make Way for Duckling’ statues in the Boston Public Garden.
Tuesday was ‘Maine’ day. The rainy weather unfortunately prevented a walk on the Marginal Way and gave an obstructed view of Nubble Light in York. However, after a delicious lobster lunch at a member’s home in Saco, the weather cleared for a trolley tour of Portland.
Portsmouth Day (Wednesday) was blessed by exceptional weather. In the morning we had two great visits. We split the group in half and did the visits simultaneously, then switched places. The Moffatt-Ladd House is a treasure of original furniture and decorative arts, particularly paintings, historic restoration and colonial history. The beautiful gardens are a special treat. Our second visit was to the Portsmouth Athenaeum. a truly unique, historical membership institution. FFNH member Alan Ammann is a member and he led us on the tour. The Athenaeum is an extensive library, featuring historical collections donated by former members. It is a dynamic institution today with rotating art exhibits that are open to the public and a repository of Portsmouth historical original sources that are open to researchers. It's a beautiful building.
Between those morning visits and our afternoon Gundalow cruise, ambassadors had some free time to stroll downtown Portsmouth and get lunch on their own. After lunch, the group reassembled in Market Square for a guided tour of Portsmouth's section of the Black History Trail of New Hampshire. The tour was led by FFNH member Angela Matthews who is a trained guide for that organization. The Gundalow is a local historical boat designed to meet the transportation needs in the shallow rivers around Portsmouth. Our tour was both fun and educational, circling Portsmouth Harbor and enjoying an historical narrative by the crew on a unique vessel - and helping to raise and lower sail!
On Thursday, the ambassadors had an architectural history tour of Dover as well as learned the history of the Dover mills.
Friday took them to Wolfeboro and a tour of the Wright Museum of World War II. After the museum, they had lunch at the home of former FFNH members and then had time to explore Wolfeboro, the oldest summer resort in America.
Saturday morning was another opportunity for ambassadors and home hosts to visit area attractions. The wonderful week wrapped up with a Farewell Party with members bringing traditional New England comfort foods for all to enjoy.

Fife Reporter
Court / Fife News
Housebreaker told police: “This is my new scatter flat”
by Fife Reporter · August 7, 2017
A Fife thief, who broke into a stranger’s house claiming he thought it was his new home, has avoided jail.
William Young re-arranged the furniture, changed clothes, cooked himself a meal of chicken and sweetcorn then brushed his teeth as he made himself comfortable in the property.
Young, described as “confused” after taking drugs, then called the police and told them he was locked in his new scatter-flat which he had just been allocated.
Later, when he was detained in connection with a separate matter, Young was allowed to fill bags of property from the house and take them with him.
Later, when the real householder returned from work, he found a window smashed, possessions missing, blood on the floor, his tumbler drier re-situated in the living room and a plate with the remains of the chicken meal lying on his bed, where Young had been relaxing earlier.
Unemployed Young, (54), of Fordell Road, Glenrothes, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court for sentencing today
He previously admitted that on 26th May last year he broke into a house in Main Street, Lumphinnans and stole money, two scratch cards, documents, clothing, two watches and a quantity of cosmetics.
Depute fiscal Claire Bremner said the householder left his home at 7.30am and secured the property.
At 3pm Young phoned the police using the 999 service reporting that he had been robbed.
When officers attended the address the call had been made from they found Young locked inside.
He was claiming his partner had stolen his medication then locked him in the house and he didn’t have a key.
He spoke to the police through the front window and they went off to speak to his partner at another address.
She told them she nothing about the Lumphinnans house and had no idea why he was there.
Police went back to speak to Young and as they looked around the outside of the property they saw a rear window had been smashed.
They asked Young what had happened to the window and he said he had smashed it because he had been locked in.
“He was asked to come out through the broken window and did so along with two bags of property. He was then detained in connection with another matter,” said the depute.
Neighbours were able to tell police who the householder was and when they contacted him he said nobody should have been in his home.
The householder later identified property removed by Young as his and also stated that furniture had been moved. “It also appears that the accused made himself a meal,” added the depute. “It’s a rather bizarre set of circumstances.”
Defence solicitor Lee Qumsieh said his client had taken a so-called ‘legal high’ substance for the first time before the incident.
“It certainly was a bizarre set of circumstances. He was the one who telephoned the police. It was accepted by the Crown that he did not enter the property with the intention of committing a theft.
“He was acting in a state of confusion and thought this property had been allocated to him.
“He had taken a substance a day or two prior to this with a neighbour. He didn’t know what it was but it would seem to have been some sort of legal high. For the next couple of days it caused him to behave in a bizarre manner.
“The day before he and his partner had been to view a house.”
Young had got it into his mind that this house in Lumphinnans had been allocated to him, said the solicitor.
“He waited outside for several hours for a housing officer to come. It was cold, raining and he then broke in via a window.
“He re-arranged the furniture and cooked himself a meal. He also changed his clothing and brushed his teeth.
“This is someone who was extremely confused at that time.
“When he was later taken into custody on another matter he was allowed the opportunity to take items with him. He gathers the property, puts it into bags and hands them to the police.
“It’s a theft committed by handing property over to the police. He’s ashamed and embarrassed about the circumstances of this offence. He would like to apologise to the home owner.”
The solicitor added, “He accepts it couldn’t have been a very pleasant experience for this person to find somebody had been in his home, re-arranged the furniture and cooked a meal when he was out.”
Sheriff Craig McSherry said, “I would agree that this is a rather bizarre case. It’s only because of that I am not imposing a prison sentence.”
As a direct alternative to jail, the sheriff imposed a community payback order with 12 months’ supervision and Young will have to pay the householder £275 compensation for the damage caused.

Nice story. I was engaged the whole time. I thought your structure worked. You had a lede, an explanation (nut graph), and some character development. Then you built up to the championship which was a good ending. I felt the build up and was looking forward to seeing how the team was going to do in the game. I thought you had some nice action/reaction shots, and your b-roll wasn't just filler. You put me in the setting, let me know where I was, with each new scene.
I thought this was a great story, interesting, engaging and told in an effective way. Very in-depth for a one man show. I love when I really feel like i've learned something instead of getting a glossed-over, surface story. This felt complete, or as complete as it could be in 10 min.
For me, there was one major thing that was distracting. Realizing you're on a time schedule and doing this all by yourself, I think it would be an easy fix.
Your audio cuts are jarring. Often when you're cutting nat sound, but also with interviews. I think crossfades on both ends of your audio clips could help. And, I think an effective way to soften audio transitions is to avoid cutting the audio AND visual at the same time. You did this a lot. Someone will start talking (you, or a player) at the same moment as a visual cut, and it feels choppy. You could lead the audio in for a couple seconds then make the visual cut, or vice versa. I'm talking about nat sound and interview sound. I think it would help your stories feel more smooth and polished.
Anybody else do this consciously?
That's the only major thing I noticed. The ending felt abrupt, too. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks a million. Really good to get your tip on the audio transition...from now on I will use your advise in doing this more effectively.

Malay India gives rousing reception to PM Modi
Author: Aradhana Takhtani
Publication: The Times of India
URL: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Malay-India-gives-rousing-reception-to-PM-Modi/articleshow/49886594.cms
Murli Selvam does not speak a word of Hindi and barely manages English. Yet, he came to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a gathering that had the most diverse diaspora ever coming together to felicitate him overseas. At the Malaysian International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIECC) in KL, Selvam, and many other like him from the Tamil Sangam, broke into roaring chants of 'Modi,' intermittently, while watching best local talent of Malaysia put up a mosaic of cross cultural show.
The prime minister, on his part, with an elaborate welcome in Tamil, followed by 'India resides in every Indian,' in one sweep got the 15,000-strong crowd deeply engaged into his speech. Interestingly, he reaffirmed the ethnic Indians here as 'Malay Indians' and largely devoted his speech to their contributions in building ties with India and upholding the Indian heritage and culture in their day to day lives.
Unlike the civic receptions in UK, US, Dubai, where the audience comprised of NRIs who have a pan Indian identity, no language barriers and are actively connected with growth story of India, the Malay Indians are aspiring to get enabled. And they see prime minister Modi as one leader who will get them access to better economic prospects.
Kavita Palissimye, a student, for instance, came to hear Modi announce some newer partnerships in the educational and professional field. "I would like to work in India as it is growing rapidly, and work opportunities are increasing," she says.
On the theme of India offering opportunities, PM Modi mentioned that Malaysia has been one of the strongest partners in trade from the South East Asian region but he was expecting more. In this regard, he revealed he will be asking Malaysian PM Najib to recognize more universities and encourage Malay Indians to not just acquire medicine degrees from India but more.
Citing historical ties with Malaysia, PM Modi profusely thanked the earlier generations of Malay Indians for lending a hand to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's freedom struggle against the British. He paid glowing tributes to the unknown soldiers of Indian descent who fought valiantly in World War II and offered to set up, along with the help of Malaysian government, a war memorial in Perak, in North West of the country.
